Sorry this one's both late and long, but what are you gonna do? The final one (Anthony Desouza) will be up either tonight or tomorow.
Name: Detective Sgt. Delilah Vance
Background:
Delilah Vance was born into a large family of cops. Her father, uncles, and cousins all wore a badge, or had at one time, and all her brothers planned to as well. And so did she. As the only girl in a large family of boys she grew up a bit of a tomboy, but always with becoming a Police Officer in mind. While other teenagers were dating, cheerleading, playing football, or studying for finals she studied interrogation techniques, criminology, and how to shoot a gun. She became very good at all of them, and eventually became a Police Officer, and then rapidly a Detective.
Aspect: To Protect And Serve
Rising Conflict:
After becoming a Detective, Delilah was partnered with a man named John Strauss, a gifted Detective (if a bit odd) who took her under his wing. She rapidly surpassed him in investigative brilliance, though she never quite equaled his hunches. The two worked together and were friends, their friendship even withstanding his being kicked out of the Department in disgrace over some spooky shit. She underwent a few disciplinary hearings after that, and went through a few partners, but she also closed more cases than anyone else and netted herself a promotion to Detective Sergeant, and an exile to Special Investigations…where the weird things are.
Aspect: Best Investigator In The Department
Guest Star: Winter Ghosts
When a number of people start turning up dead, Det. Sgt. Vance is forced to call in her ex-partner (now a PI) to help her look into them. He says that someone is using ghosts as a murder weapon, and he proves to her that he’s right. The two go looking into who’s doing this, and discover that it’s an honest-to-god Faerie…a Troll. And that it appears to be a mercenary, being paid to commit the murders. They go looking for help in dealing with something like that and find Sam Coleman, a young man of Faerie descent. While he and John go to deal with the Troll, Det. Sgt. Vance finds the man who hired it, and manages to get him to confess to having hired the murders without referencing anything that’d make him sound crazy. She closes the case, and now knows for a fact that John isn’t crazy.
Aspect: Always Gets Her Man
Guest Star: Dragon Slayer
When a young girl goes missing, Delilah investigates privately. She runs into Sam Coleman, as well as a woman named Erin Carter and a man named Matthew Holland (apparently a werewolf and some sort of vampire, respectively). They tell her that a Dragon, of all things, took the girl. She goes along with them to rescue the girl and helps to do both that and slay the dragon, demonstating moves right out of an action movie in doing so.
Aspect: Faster Than Lightning
First Novel: Finding Justice
When a series of what appear to be mundane serial murders stumps her for an answer, Delilah once again calls John for help, this time off the books. With his help, and that of a Priest he recommends (one Father O‘Connel) she finds out enough about the religious and mystical symbolism behind the murders that she can get a general direction to investigate. The trail leads to a business owned by one Anthony Desouza, who luckily owes Det. Sgt. Vance a favor from a while back. He helps her to find the man who’s clearly the killer (even the ghost of a victim confirms it)…and he’s untouchable. He’s a clean, all-American, young man. Respected in business, and the son of a local politician. No jury in the world will convict him. And Delilah makes the hardest decision of her life…she kills him. John helps her cover up the physical evidence and, unbeknownst to John, Mr. Desouza also helps with the cover-up after she informs him of what the man had done.
