This black-feathered corvid humanoid seems to have once been human,
but is far from it now. Her body is twisted and warped into the formed
of a great winged humanoid creature halfway between a crow and an
eagle. Her feathers are glistening black and reflect dozens of shades of
green, blue and violet besides and her eyes are black orbs without any
sign of pupil or retina. Further, her form is clearly still mutating and
uses obviously unnatural Quantum based means of propulsion and sonics
generation as no terrestrial creature could fly in earths gravity with a 4
meter wingspan, let along turn or swoop as she does in clear defiance
of laws of aerobatics. Despite having and using wings, Talon clearly
doesn’t entirely need them, and can take off or land in an enclosed
area quite well.
Her history remains an enigma, although she understands much Greek,
and no other language as of yet. Her current form gives no other clues
as to her original human form and she was initially discovered cold
and bleeding from an aerial impact on a roof in Thessalonika by one
of that towns police. He managed to coax the creature to take his coat
and brought her food, in ever-increasing quantities when it became
clear that she wasn’t leaving the rooftop and that no one else was being
allowed near her. It took weeks of coaxing to get her to come down,
but she insisted (to the point of sonics and vicious claw swipes!) on
remaining with the officer who had been ‘nice’ to her before, a Paul
Kafkoulas. He ended up finally taking her home with him, much to
the consternation of his pregnant wife, but when an intruder tried to
sneak into the backroom to find the territorial avian guarding the house,
she changed her tune. ‘Talon,’ as she was called, has been living in
this officers backroom and occasionally seems to display a clear
understanding of what is being said around her, and can even mimic
it on some occasions, although she hardly ever speaks on her own
or in other than an assumed ‘parotted’ voice.
He was attached to the Avatars as a police laison (a substantial rise in
his fortunes) mainly because it was known that this was the only way
to get Talon into the team. Talon, for her part, has accepted the
presence of ‘Tag’ and ‘Lethe’ around her (seeming to like Lethe more,
calling Tag, ‘sick girl’ quite a bit, presumably a reference to how she
saps the energy from everyone around her). As for the other team-
members, Talon doesn’t like men in general, only tolerating Paul near
her. The only other exception is small children, which she doesn’t
seem to be able to differentiate.
