CHARACTER
Name: Clarke Griffin
True Name: Wanheda. Just kidding, it's still just Clarke Griffin.
Canon: The 100 (04x13, "Praimfaya") — right after making a mad dash to escape a death wave, and collapsing in her pseudo-bunker covered in radiation burns
Age: 18
History: everything is toxic and the world is actively trying to kill them: a summary | i am become death, destroyer of worlds: an indept narrative about long lasting guilt and grippling ptsd by clarke griffin
Powers/Abilities:
» arker Everyone born on the Ark was genetically engineered to be a universal donor. They were also all born in space and exposed to the radiation that came with living in a spaceship circulating the wasteland that is planet Earth. As a result, all the Sky People can metabolize higher amounts of radiation than a normal human.
» earth skills They had classes on the Ark about surviving on the ground, and the best kind of practical exam is dumping a bunch of kids on a radioactive planet and wishing them good luck, right? Between hunting, foraging, war waging, horseback riding, water collection, finding shelter, camouflaging herself, starting cook fires, and not eating anything poisonous for fun, Clarke would ace that survivalist class.
» gunplei Thanks to some crappy shooting lessons from the one and only Bellamy Blake, she's got a decent handle on gunmanship. And can very much hold her own in a fight, despite being more inclined to talk it out instead of immediately start punching people.
» natblida So the world was ending and Clarke was pretty desperate to find a cure to intolerable levels of radiation. She recently injected herself with the synthesized bone marrow of a Nightblood, a descendent of the first Commander, Becca. Nightblood is just like any other blood, except it is jet black and somehow prevents you from outright dying when exposed to radiation? I dunno man, it's probably magic.
» medical training Clarke did an internship under her mother while on board the Ark, which went on for an unspecified amount of time, but left her quite capable. She can do everything from basic sprained ankle tests, to removing knives from peoples rib cages, to relieving blood buildup from internal bleeding, to curing infections with some seaweed tea, to deciding who's not going to make it and putting them out of their misery.
» well read, knowledgable Clarke is intelligent; a self taught map reader and a quoter of Oppenheimer. She's one of the privileged and was accorded a quality education on board the Ark, and while she may not have the skills Raven and Monty possess when it comes to technology and engineering, she's a quick study and good at inferring things.
» oil pastel maps of escape routes She draws pretty things.
» what you did will haunt you until the end of your days aka Clarke Griffin's Massive Guilt Complex, aka I see dead people. Jokes, that's not an ability, that's just a side effect of her PTSD.
Inventory:
— one (1) ugly green hazmat suit
— one (1) handgun
— one (1) repurposed mint box, containing:
— one (1) artificial intelligence chip, aka the flame
— ten (10) units of nightblood running through her veins; providing an increased resistance to the effects of radiation
— some (100?) really nasty radiation burns despite the nightblood
Job History:
» space princess (2131-2147) As easy-going existence as one can have in a utilitarian spaceship holding the last vestiges of humanity. She would have been considered high class, had a quality education, and was training under her mother to become a doctor on board.
» science experiment (2148 - present) Sent to Earth as equal parts execution and science experiment, and upon surviving, is expected to relay information back to their people still in space. Earth Skills come into play here: mapping, hunting, building shelters, discovering various dangers, accidentally starting people down a warpath, sometimes torture, mud wrestling, trial and error medical experiments, mercy killings, splash fights, negotiating with hostile natives, mostly Just SurvivingTM
» commander of death (2148 - present) When faced with do-or-die circumstances, Clarke's the go-to for genocidal choices. Her resume includes an absolutely impressive 909+ body count, ranging in MO's from slitting throats, shooting, willful negligence in letting people be bombed, irradiating an entire society, and burning an army alive. It's earned her a reputation among the population, haunts her, but murder isn't a difficult thing to do anymore.
» important person (2148 - present) Better to be feared than loved? Why not both? By circumstances, Clarke has become a very important person in the relations between her space folks and those who were born on Earth. She's a household name, and that death toll demands respect. Her friends look to her, she's not scared to undermine her own leaders in order to do what she thinks is best, and is often at the table when any negotiations are underway. Also ultimately does Whatever The Hell She WantsTM and, like a true politician, spins the outcome to her benefit.
» self-sacrificial lamb (2149 - present) Decided her life was over, and willingly stayed behind in the face of a fiery death wave to fix a piece of technology that would allow her friends to make it into space out of the blast radius. General skillset required for such: putting herself in danger for other people, low-key being a cockroach that's really hard to kill.
Suppressions: Simultaneously nothing and so much. Notable, near-constant emotional undertones: guilt, the crushing weight of failure, homesickness. Fear of losing the people she cares about. Gut-wrenching sadness over the love ones she feels she played a part in the death of: Jake, Finn, Wells, Lexa. Brief instances of wonderment at the world around her. The desire to be better, and the drive to survive. The willingness and determination to do whatever it takes. Exhaustion. Flip flopping opinions on what is good, what is bad. A heightened state of paranoia and suspicion, like only one who just came from a literal war zone could. Healthy distrust, but with glaring holes in her defenses that could be wormed through. Stubbornness, and blocking out other options and logic once one course of action is chosen. A whole lot of love and care for her people, for all people; the desire to help and heal and protect. A need for affection and affirmation, she's doing the best she can okay guys? More guilt, this time with a side of self loathing. A sense of trying to curtain parts of herself off, but failing. A constant battle with herself; the things we've done to survive, they don't define us. A desire for peace, but the quiet doubt that it is attainable. The constantly reaffirmed idea that life can be beautiful and ugly at the same time.
Leaky visuals that may bleed through: a grown man suddenly being sucked into the depths of space, a door inlaid in the side of a mountain, black blood seeping through fingers, a woman who is not herself willingly being hung, a body slumped in ropes against a post, white walls covered in charcoal drawings, a radiation riddled young man begging for death, a burnt village, a mass of dead bodies in their evening finery. Bellamy Blake. Lexa kom Trikru. Abby Griffin. Finn Collins. A wall of fire. A pinprick of light escaping into space.
Gross sensations that no one asked for: the weight of a gun in your hand, the lack of resistance of a sharp knife through flesh, the cranking gears of machinery reverberating up your arm as a lever is pulled, being shallowly cut with a scalpel, falling, the exhilarating relief of being hugged in hard times, the sharp bite of something burrowing into your neck, holding hands. Burning alive.
Greatest Fear: Losing people she cares about.
Greatest Desire: Firstly, to ensure the survival of her friends. Secondly, to survive herself.
Greatest Regret: ...god where to start. Summarized: all the deaths she's had a hand in, either directly or indirectly. Her father, her best friend, a boy who loved her, a boy she mercy killed, 300+ Grounders she burnt alive, 250+ Grounders and her own people who died in the bombing of Tondc that she gave them no warning about, 381 Mountain Men ("182 men, 173 women, 26 children. Two of them were mine.") she irradiated with the pull of a lever, her girlfriend... The list goes on.
