Description

Mesmera, The Eyes of Phobos

Alice fell, forever it seemed and at the bottom of the pit, it wasn't a late rabbit waiting for her. She regained consciousness to the echoes of ancient chants, broken, in a pool of her own blood. In total darkness, it was the only thing she could sense, that and the pain. The music and the voices evoked images in her mind, images she wasn't pleased with, memories of her high school years as head cheerleader and student president, positions attained through fear and meanness. 

Was she pushed over the edge? did she feel someone propel her in the ancient well? No light reached the bottom where she lay, was it day? how long had she been down there? As the pain began to sear into her brain, she remembered the trip to Greece, the visit to the ancient ruined temple with her most trusted ... friends? And the well, that well that beckoned her from their arrival on the archeological site.

As the pain grew stronger in her mind, she began to feel fear, her own, those she bestowed on others, those of strangers, those of all eras, all fears, invading her mind as an assault on all her senses. She was swallowed by them, too many, too strong, too old, too powerful.

Alice was found three days later, alive and well, without even a scar, on the altar of an unidentified temple on the site they were visiting. She remembered everything now, all that happened, her contact with ancient souls, the chants, her mission. With the power of the eyes of Phobos, she, in exchange for her life, would become an agent of fear. She would prey on those who use fear to prey on others. Retribution would be made by the law of the Talion.


Her powers, the eyes, focus the worst fears of an individual on himself. With them she can put the strongest of tyrant on his knees. Every time she defeats an opponents their fears make her stronger, faster until the sun rises. At her peak level, she's been seen ripping off the roof of a car and gliding on the eyes as if the were wings. To accomplish her mission, she was also given a form of long range empathy that detects fear. She uses a weapons that function mostly on fear, the whip to intimidate her enemies. Her training as cheerleader and gymnast make her a very difficult target to hit and a fantastic hand to hand combatant.

Her real name is Alice Atfield, by night she goes as Mesmera, she is back in america... be afraid, be very afraid.
