Physical Appearance:
Alexis Punchline isn't the tallest person around standing at only 5 feet and 3 inches tall. A pretty average girl with pretty average features, the green eyes brown or black haired (depending on the lighting) maiden could blend in the background if she so wanted. Her figure is well maintained, lithe and her bust on the smaller size at only a size B, punchlines most stand out features are her eyes which is only because it is accentuated with black eyeliner and heavy mascara. Paired with black lipstick, and bright red blush her face gives the dark clown aesthetic while still keeping a natural looking skin tone.
Clothing and Armor:
Regular clothes have gone out the window long, long ago, along with the variety that went along with it. The clothes in her closet are largely the same and looking in at it, she really only has four pieces of clothing that creates her everyday outfit.
She possess a skin light, purple shirt with sleeves that end mid-forearm with cuffs frayed. all the shirts possess the same pattern of small balloon that form a line across the top of her shirt, just below the armpit line and just above the breast line. Over that, she wears a black halter-tank top corset with laces in a V-like pattern where her cleavage is, giving her the illusion of a bigger breast size. Paired with the purple shirts are dark purple leggings of the same same shade, finished off with a simple black mini-skirt.
She has two accessories that pull her outfit all together, a pair of black thigh high boots with purple laces, and a pair of gloves with an X pattern on the right glove and an O pattern on the left. She possess exactly 7 of each of these items. One for each day of the week.
Personality
Sexual Orientation:
Bisexual
General Personality:
Its no secret, Punchline is highly Sadistic. there's a level of enjoyment that the woman gets from causing chaos to the world around her, and making those who she targets suffer in agony. There's a darkness in her humor, as well as a subtleness to it. there's amusement to making people go crazy, it's plain to see and that's what makes her such a terrifying person for anyone to go up against. she has built a name for herself, and has a level of ambition that borderlines-or perhaps surpasses- obsessive. it can be argued that she is addicted to the results of being ambitious ( though don't say that to her face, you'll regret it) and will do anything to achieve the goal she has set in her mind.
not the most charismatic person you'll find, Punchline is straight to the point and doesn't beat around the bush. if she wants it done, it's going to get done. if she has something on her mind and she wants it known, it will definitively become known. That said, she is far from an open book. As honest and open as she is about her ambitions and what she wants to achieve in the world, she is equally enigmatic. The way her mind works is a mystery to most, even to those who are regularly around her. Until she is ready to bark out orders, she's quiet and kept to herself. Unless she is discussing something that is pertinent to another person, or leaving behind her little punchline notes at a scene of a crime, she's a woman of very little words.
From a glance of those said notes, it's clear that punchline is highly philosophical, and she holds an ideal of the world that isn't being met. As far as she is concerned, the world is already falling into chaos and the ambitious are the ones that are in command. Though there may be a time that she was a sheep, that time is no longer. Punchline is a wolf, pure and simple and an unapologetic one at that. Her view of the world is simple. Eat or be eaten. More accurately, it's you either have the strength and will to achieve your own goals or let others write your path for you. She refuses to be the latter option and it materializes in a way that gives her the appearance of having confidence, and a surety in herself even if other people don't quite understand her methods and mind set. If they understand, they understand. If they don't, they don't. She doesn't have the time to explain herself and usually doesn't want to. She leaves enough notes, and says phrases that point to what her views of the world is, there's no point in explaining herself even further.
Behind the visage of sadism and obsession with the downfall of current society there exists a a mind that's analytical and scientific as well, to a twisted extend, idealistic. It lends to her being observant, and experimental. It was through trial and error that she has perfected her specific art of warmongering. It's this overall mindset that makes it difficult for her to connect with others and understand them despite being able to decipher patterns that humans exhibit. She lacks the empathy one requires to truly register and understand the nuances of human emotions (including her own). It's these brain processes that overall dictate who she is and how she acts, and is the general causation to her psychopathic nature as a whole.

History:
Alexis Kaye wasn't a very notable individual, never stood out in the crowd and had a fairly uneventful childhood. Happy even, not the type of person one would think to be going down the road she walks. She lived the life of a typical well off suburban family, her childhood filled with extracurricular activities. Never the star, she always looked for that one thing that would make her stand out as growing children ought to do but one didn't expect the fateful event is what would shape her life the most. It might have been argued that it was just a teenage rebellious phase, that she'll grow out of it, if she wasn't still living that life years beyond her teenage hood and more to the point, without regret. Before I get ahead of myself lets pause here. lets start this story from the very beginning.
On the outskirts of Gotham city, in one of the more rural suburban towns in the area lived the Kaye family. Alexander and Samantha lived and raised their singular daughter, Alexis here. this house, this neighborhood was all that young Alexis ever had to know. they were a stable family, happy one. one that enjoyed exploring the natural world around them. they Hiked, fished and even went out hunting on the regular. along with this, Alexis partook in several extracurricular such as gymnastics, soccer and basketball growing up. always on the go, always busy- and she kept up a good academic standing. To her parents, she was a golden child who excelled at many things. a Jack of all trades, but truly a master at none of the things pursued. there was always someone better, and though she may have made teams growing up, she was never the star of the show. As a child, this was fine, it was all about having fun or at the very least, having fun enough that she didn't think of the deeper questions that slowly stirred in the depths of her being. who she is, what she was meant to do, who she is meant to become. She was adept at doing what was expected of her, what she thought she was supposed to do, and did it. eventually the child would grow into a young teenager and the older she got, ignoring the questions of life and what one was meant to do with it harder to ignore.
becoming a teenager wasn't an easy thing for Alexis to deal with but she masked her issues well. well enough that people didn't notice that the girl was detached from her fellow peers. everyone around her was figuring out what they wanted to be when they got older, and many of her classmates all had ideas of what they wanted to do, or at the very least had something that made that particular person stand out. she was athletic, but not athletic enough to be considered a Jock. she had amazing grades, did well in school but didn't quite fit in with the nerds. she was creative and enjoyed writing, but not nearly enough. There were cliques everywhere, and everyone knew where they belonged within them. All of them but Alexis. At least that's what it felt like to her, she eventually settled with the hippies and nature buffs, forming her personality around that but even then, something felt fake. off. She couldn't see the world view in the way her peers did. She played along, however hoping, as naive as she used to be, that being around a group long enough would start to feel natural. In a way, it did. she had always had a deep respect for nature, more specifically the idea that nature itself will weed out the weak from the strong and that only the strong deserve to live. the weak was only a burden that had to be rooted out, killed so that superior genes could flourish and prosper.
this was just a seed, however. a thought and ideal growing within her mind, that was simply budding but had not yet blossomed. what would be the core of her ideals later on in her life had not been discovered until later in her high school years when a field trip took her into Gotham city, to one of the many news stations studios that littered the city. It had to be fate- or so Alexis believed, that she would have a run-in with an infamous villain for the first time ever. A Villain named Joker. Adrenaline rushed through her body, as she was snatched by this villain, and forced- with a gun to her head- to Relay a message to Gotham city. she obliged, but not out of fear, but out of morbid fascination. Joker was bold, relentless, and carefree. He had a view of the world that no one had, he was different, but he didn't care... She wanted to be exactly like that one day. she researched Joker, learned more about him and as she did so, she realized that there was someone out there who saw the world in the same way she did, saw the world in a way that everyone else just didn't understand. It was then that she decided to major in biochemistry when her high school career ended, but not to become a Chemist, but to use those skills to become a biochemical terrorist, a villain that would put even Joker to Shame.
Soon, she would leave home and go to College within the City which made gave her more exposure to crime, gangs, and criminals. Living in the city was nothing like living in her suburban town, there was alot more life, alot more activity and she found it easier to embark on her new chosen career. through her extensive research, she cracked the code on the type of venom that Joker used in many of his escapades, or at least something that was similar enough to it. She first tested it out on a homeless section of the city and found it to be a success catching the attention of a local criminal association that called themselves the Royal flush gang. It was in this gang that Punchline started to feel like home, and confused, goody two shoe Alexis was rapidly fading away, becoming nothing but a blip in punchlines life.
during much of her college career, she ran with the royal flush gang. occasionally going out on her own, methodically testing and developing new venoms, occasionally ending the lives of weaklings who didn't deserve to live through life no longer- homeless, disabled, addicts- she scoured through individuals with weakness and one by one, used them as test subjects. those that found that their lives had ended would have a steel tipped card and a riddle like note that always ended with the word Punchline. All of it in the name of hopefully getting the jokers attention, getting him to notice her, even just a little. She grew deeper into her gang life, regularly proving her own loyalties while testing the loyalties of other members. aiding and developing methods to root out the weak. This life fit her like a glove, in a way that her previous life never did. it was filled with adrenaline and took a great mind, and an athletic spirit to take the gang to a whole new level- and she had both those things. eventually, it her behavior was noted throughout her college and it concerned the dean of Snyder College and he had went and spoke to her and, with her home made Fear-venom laced in one of her steel cards she nicked an artery, leaving him in hallucinating state watching as he relived his greatest fear. face contorted in a perpetual scream, bug-eyed. Her first killing of a notable, public enough figure. This was a point of no return, Alexis was officially gone at this point, and Punchline reigned supreme. Still pining for Jokers attentions, she continued to rise through the ranks of gang leadership, until she reached the top. leading the Royal flush through a new Era, continuing to work to turn her dreams into reality.
Role-Play Sample:
Within the Den of the royal flush gang the Black heart queen stood over the pool table with the cue stick in hand, Red Spades king standing on the opposite end. On the Table, laid balls 3, 6, 7, 8, 14 and 15 with the queen eying the 3 ball. she walked back and forth as she looked for the right angle, and soon found it, taking her shot and landing it in the hole
"another one sunk " the queen mused, putting the cue stick to the table again, this time aiming for the number 6. the ball would just miss the corner hole, and the queen wouldn't have shown any expression, however before handing off the cue stick to the king. He took aim for the 15 ball and missed his shot, giving the stick once more back to the queen. from the couch, the game would be watched by Jack-Jack as the two went back and forth, attempting to sink the remaining balls so that one could be declared the winner of the game.
it would be interrupted, however, as 8cer walked though the door, followed by three individuals; two male and one female. three fresh faces that none of the other three had yet seen in person yet they already knew who they were. they all walked in with Swagger in their steps, their confidence knowing no bounds yet soon, they were all going to be taken down a peg as the Queen smiled as she walked up to them, flanked by the king and Jack She studied them as she walked up, taking them in, their demeanor, their stance, everything.
"Well, what do we got here, disturbing our peaceful pool game? " the queen asked, a quizzical look on her face, 8cer would confidently step up responding in kind
"Word on the street is, three aces. Robby Douglin, Jesks Monroe, and Raph Mitchell"
"Ah, Yes the ghost " responded the queen, walking up to the female, her being a wiry looking brunette with hazel eyes, before walking to the next potential card
"The Shadow" She inspected the dark skinned male, doing the same thing as she did with the female, looking neutral as she finished her inspection, and moved on to the final initiate
"and the wolf" the final recruit was a red head, 6'9 in height, easily towering over the queen, so she had settled with just looking him up and down. each of the three recruits had handed the queen, what seemed like a card but on the opposite side was just the face of a joker card and an address to an abandoned warehouse
"So, you all decided to take the invitation, but your journey is just beginning"
she stated as she was shuffling a deck of cards as she walked back and forth, addressing the three of them
"You all have quite the reputation, but is it just a joke? " she finished shuffling the cards, and stood in front of the three recruits holding the deck out to them, beckoning them to take one card each
"Here's the punchline " she stated, as each of them looked at the cards they drew, as a billboard appeared in front of them numbered 1-10 and next to them a list of suits, all with descriptions of what their specific initiation process would be. as each new person revealed their cards, The queen would gingerly take each one back
"We got... 5 spades she stated as she took the card back from Jesks the ghost
"3 Spades" this time, taking the card from Raph the Shadow
"and... 6 hearts... interesting " she took the final card from Robby wolf
the three of them would look upon the chart, and it would seem that the two spades would have the simpler, more straight forward. it was a simple spar between the two, but the numbers would be the kicker, as there was an status effect next to each number that would be inflicted on them as they were going forward with the initiation process not only that, it would appear that only one of the two sparrers would be fully inducted into the gang. according to the cards Raph would be doing the Spar under the laughing poison while Jesks would be doing the Spar while under an hallucinative effect. Robby wolf would have to steal a valuable object all while under the effects of punchline's fear poison
"don't worry, these poison's are my mildest ones " she reassures them as she prepped each vial for each prospective card, leading the two fighters to the fighting ring, first. once they got there, she would dip a dagger in a respective poison and give each fighter a nice sized gash in their arms.
"and fight!" she would say, as she would pull the final initiative away to task him with the item that he needed to steal, affix him with both a camera and a mic and sent him on his way, him also receiving a nice sized gash on him arm from a fear tipped dagger.

Within the Den of the royal flush gang the Black heart queen stood over the pool table with the cue stick in hand, Red Spades king standing on the opposite end. On the Table, laid balls 3, 6, 7, 8, 14 and 15 with the queen eying the 3 ball. she walked back and forth as she looked for the right angle, and soon found it, taking her shot and landing it in the hole
"another one sunk " the queen mused, putting the cue stick to the table again, this time aiming for the number 6. the ball would just miss the corner hole, and the queen wouldn't have shown any expression, however before handing off the cue stick to the king. He took aim for the 15 ball and missed his shot, giving the stick once more back to the queen. from the couch, the game would be watched by Jack-Jack as the two went back and forth, attempting to sink the remaining balls so that one could be declared the winner of the game.
it would be interrupted, however, as 8cer walked though the door, followed by three individuals; two male and one female. three fresh faces that none of the other three had yet seen in person yet they already knew who they were. they all walked in with Swagger in their steps, their confidence knowing no bounds yet soon, they were all going to be taken down a peg as the Queen smiled as she walked up to them, flanked by the king and Jack She studied them as she walked up, taking them in, their demeanor, their stance, everything.
"Well, what do we got here, disturbing our peaceful pool game? " the queen asked, a quizzical look on her face, 8cer would confidently step up responding in kind
"Word on the street is, three aces. Robby Douglin, Jesks Monroe, and Raph Mitchell"
"Ah, Yes the ghost " responded the queen, walking up to the female, her being a wiry looking brunette with hazel eyes, before walking to the next potential card
"The Shadow" She inspected the dark skinned male, doing the same thing as she did with the female, looking neutral as she finished her inspection, and moved on to the final initiate
"and the wolf" the final recruit was a red head, 6'9 in height, easily towering over the queen, so she had settled with just looking him up and down. each of the three recruits had handed the queen, what seemed like a card but on the opposite side was just the face of a joker card and an address to an abandoned warehouse
"So, you all decided to take the invitation, but your journey is just beginning"
she stated as she was shuffling a deck of cards as she walked back and forth, addressing the three of them
"You all have quite the reputation, but is it just a joke? " she finished shuffling the cards, and stood in front of the three recruits holding the deck out to them, beckoning them to take one card each
"Here's the punchline " she stated, as each of them looked at the cards they drew, as a billboard appeared in front of them numbered 1-10 and next to them a list of suits, all with descriptions of what their specific initiation process would be. as each new person revealed their cards, The queen would gingerly take each one back
"We got... 5 spades she stated as she took the card back from Jesks the ghost
"3 Spades" this time, taking the card from Raph the Shadow
"and... 6 hearts... interesting " she took the final card from Robby wolf
the three of them would look upon the chart, and it would seem that the two spades would have the simpler, more straight forward. it was a simple spar between the two, but the numbers would be the kicker, as there was an status effect next to each number that would be inflicted on them as they were going forward with the initiation process not only that, it would appear that only one of the two sparrers would be fully inducted into the gang. according to the cards Raph would be doing the Spar under the laughing poison while Jesks would be doing the Spar while under an hallucinative effect. Robby wolf would have to steal a valuable object all while under the effects of punchline's fear poison
"don't worry, these poison's are my mildest ones " she reassures them as she prepped each vial for each prospective card, leading the two fighters to the fighting ring, first. once they got there, she would dip a dagger in a respective poison and give each fighter a nice sized gash in their arms.
"and fight!" she would say, as she would pull the final initiative away to task him with the item that he needed to steal, affix him with both a camera and a mic and sent him on his way, him also receiving a nice sized gash on him arm from a fear tipped dagger.
