She's a girl who grew up alone, wondering why no family ever wanted her, only to join one of the world's elite spy agencies and learn that the truth was so much more than she imagined. She's someone who cares deeply about people, who will fight to her dying breath to protect what she believes in, and who is stubborn enough to never let anyone stop her when she puts her mind to something. She's a woman who knows the value of family, be they by blood or by choice, and both because of and in spite of all she's been through, SHIELD will always be her family.

Through her Inhuman powers, she is able to sense and tap into the vibration energy of everything around her, manipulating what is vibrating and at what frequency. » concussive blasts; She is able to generate and focus powerful concussive waves of vibrating air in the form of directed concussive blasts, varying in intensity from breaking glass to crushing bone to toppling a solid structure. She can also use the blasts to propel herself into the air and cushion her falls. » vibrational absorption; She is able to absorb a larger quantity of vibrations, such as from an earthquake, but can only hold them for so long or risk causing irreparable damage to herself. » disintegration; She can cause molecules to vibrate violently enough that the bonds between them are destroyed, causing whatever she is using her powers on to disintegrate into the atmosphere. » force-field generation; She is able to shape vibrating air into physical fields that can block both energy and physical objects. » sound manipulation; Since sound is the vibration of air molecules, she is acute to sounds that other people can not hear and is able to reproduce certain sound frequencies. » physical consequences; Attempting to forcefully internalize and hold back her powers or using them excessively without proper protection puts an excessive strain on her body and may lead to internal injuries like ruptured veins, hairline bone fractures, or other severe consequences. SKILLS — » hand-to-hand combat; Trained by Melinda May, one of SHIELD's most skilled fighters, Daisy's style is a mix of kickboxing, boxing, Krav Maga, and Jujutsu. » weapons training; She has expert marksmanship that has previously allowed her to take out an entire team of Hydra agents with just a pistol. Since then, she's had experience with dozens of types of firearms. » espionage; She is highly trained in espionage and deception, and has learned great tactical skill during her years with the agency. » hacking; Daisy is an extremely skilled computer hacker whose skills are often utilized for intelligence gathering and data interpretation. Her expertise in hacking has made her a master at pattern recognition and analysis. IC PERMISSIONS physical affection; Daisy's a hugger when it comes to people she cares about. flirting; Absolutely. Depending on the circumstance, she might playfully flirt back or she might punch someone in the face. relationships; Friendships and found family are both incredibly important to Daisy and she will always gladly add to her circle of loved ones. She's on the broken side when it comes to romantic relationships, but she's finally at the point of being ready to let someone into her heart that way again. (shipping prefs) sex; Yes, either m/f or f/f. Depending on the situation, with or without romantic feelings involved. fighting; Getting into a fight with Quake doesn't usually end well for the other party, but sure. Go for it. injury/death; Absolutely. She's not invulnerable and I'm completely open to both resulting from a physical confrontation. psychic information; Daisy has no psychic barriers and would be an open book to anyone attempting to influence her mind. She won't take it well, though, so be ready for repercussions if she finds out. triggers; being restrained in a medical setting; mind control OOC PERMISSIONS name; Amy timezone; EST (UTC-5) rp style; preference for [ brackets ] with present tense, but can do prose contact; taintedcrimson / taintedcrimson / PM backtagging; Always fine by me! My tagging speed can be a bit sporadic these days, so backtagging is my default status. Days, weeks, months, I'm always happy to pick up old threads no matter how much time has passed. And if you ever worry that I might have accidentally dropped a thread, please contact me! I've probably just lost a notif. fourthwalling; Feel free to have your character recognize Daisy as an obscure comicbook character in another universe, but please no knowing her entire life story. (Comic vs AoS Daisy are wildly different.) MCU folks can recognize her as Quake. warnings requested; There's not much that will bother me OOCly, but I'll always let my writing partners know if something does come up. For IC subjects, I'll give a heads up if something will have a stronger reaction than usual. not interested in; r!63 characters aren't really my jam. Not here for interactions with Ward unless it's an AU/Framework version.

DANIEL SOUSA — YES. Hands down, always and forever, yes.

BUCKY BARNES — YES. These broken souls need someone who will understand what it's like to be weighed down by the guilt of things they did at the will of someone else. Plus, she has a thing for dorks.

STEVE ROGERS — YES. He's a dorky man out of time just trying to do the right thing and keep the world safe. Translation: He's exactly her type.

NATASHA ROMANOFF — YES. They both have red in their ledgers and understand that the mission comes first, but it might be nice to have someone put them first instead.

MATT MURDOCK — PROBABLY. They have history, both of them spending time at Saint Agnes Orphanage as kids. I could also see them as really good old friends.

GRANT WARD — MAYBE. OG Ward is a no, but AU versions (especially Framework) are things I'm definitely open to. Also canon divergences.

PHIL COULSON — NO. I am all about the family dynamic with Coulson and Daisy.

ROBBIE REYES — YES. Definitely yes. Would love them to meet up post-s7, because boy does she have some stories to tell.

LINCOLN CAMPBELL — MAYBE. Not interested in OG canon things, but maybe some sort of AU where they somehow meet again post-s7.

OTHER TEAMMATES — NO. Platonic and family things only for the rest, please.

EVERYONE ELSE — LET'S TALK. Because seriously, I am a horrible shipper who wants to sail things all the time. F/M or F/F, timeline mashups, AUs, gimme those ideas, especially with MCU and space folks. Also super interested in exploring multiverse things with other superhero or Weird Stuff canons (DC, Supernatural, etc).

WITHIN THE MCU »

[chuju]

Are you familiar with the MCU but not with AoS? Here's what you need to know:

2013 Fall
» Coulson lives! Agent Coulson is given a hand-selected team and a fancy plane (the Bus) to investigate weird stuff that pops onto SHIELD's radar. Daisy Johnson (then known as Skye), a hacktivist working with the Rising Tide to share information with the public, is picked up by the team for being a general pain in the ass and Coulson asks her to join them as a consultant.
» Project Centipede is an Extremis-containing serum being tested as a way to create super soldiers... There are explosive results.
» The team helps with cleanup post-Thor: The Dark World. They have run-ins with a handful of Asgardians (including Lady Sif) and a Berserker weapon. (Yes, it turns people into Berserkers.)

2014 Spring
» Coulson learns that he was brought back to life days after his death in Avengers by Project TAHITI, using a drug derived from Kree genetic material.
» HYDRA is revealed within SHIELD in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Coulson and his team go on the run, discover one of their own (Ward) is a double agent, and help take down another double agent who is going crazy from his own use of the Kree-based drug. Coulson is appointed Director of SHIELD by Nick Fury and given a base from which to rebuild SHIELD in secret.

2014 Fall
» SHIELD continues working to track down and take out HYDRA cells while investigating the strange symbols Coulson has begun obsessively carving as a reaction to the Kree-based drug that brought him back to life. They discover this is connected to HYDRA's own interests, as well as to Daisy's search for her parents.
» SHIELD and HYDRA converge at the site of an ancient alien city where Daisy undergoes a transformation that unlocks her Inhuman heritage and gives her the power to manipulate vibrations.

2015 Spring
» Daisy is taken to an Inhuman refuge called Afterlife, where she is reunited with her parents. Her mother, who was tortured by HYDRA (an incident that tore their family apart), blames SHIELD and uses her position as leader of Inhumans to start a war with SHIELD and humanity at large. This ultimately results in her mother's death and Terrigen being released into the ecosystem, which begins triggering transformations in other potential Inhumans around the world.
» Agent Jemma Simmons vanishes through an alien monolith that was formerly in the possession of HYDRA.

2015 Fall
» SHIELD tracks down recently-transformed Inhumans to help them learn to control their powers and start a new life; some of these Inhumans join a special SHIELD team led by Daisy. The government forms the Advanced Threat Containment Unit (ATCU), which also tracks down Inhumans, and The Watchdogs terrorist group forms with a mission to kill all Inhumans.
» Simmons is brought back from the alien planet she was transported to by the alien monolith, where an Inhuman known as Hive destroyed all life. Hive was worshipped for thousands of years by a religious cult that became HYDRA, with the intention of one day bringing him back to Earth — which occurs when Hive takes over Ward's deceased body.

2016 Spring
» Hive attempts to recreate the Kree experiments that created Inhumans thousands of years ago. He uses his parasitic abilities to sway Daisy, brainwashing her into becoming one of his army, and plans to transform the human population of Earth into primitive Inhumans. SHIELD stops him at the cost of Daisy's boyfriend's (Lincoln) life.
» The Sokovia Accords are ratified in Captain America: Civil War.

2016 Fall
» Daisy works to take down the Watchdogs, who continue to terrorize and kill Inhumans. She has left SHIELD and works as the vigilante Quake, who frequently appears in the news as she travels across the country.
» Ghost Rider! Robbie Reyes teams up with Daisy and SHIELD when they discover his uncle is using the Darkhold.
» SHIELD becomes a publicly-known agency again with a new "Inhuman" director in charge. (He's faking it.) Daisy rejoins SHIELD after the director claims her vigilante exploits were undercover work. She speaks to a congressional committee about Inhumans.

2017 Spring
» AIDA, a Life Model Decoy (super advanced robot), reads the Darkhold and becomes corrupted by its power. She creates other LMDs and begins replacing agents within SHIELD, trapping their minds within the Framework, a simulated world.
» Daisy and Simmons enter the Framework, where the world has been reshaped into a What If nightmare where HYDRA won and Inhumans are openly hunted by the government. They rescue the team and take down AIDA, but not before she causes SHIELD to end up on the government's shit list again.

2017-2018
» Team SHIELD is transported to a post-apocalyptic future where the Earth has been torn apart and what is left of humanity has been enslaved by the Kree. Daisy is blamed for this and dubbed the Destroyer of Worlds.
» Upon returning to the past, the team works to stop this future from coming to pass. General Talbot, a former (slightly antagonistic) ally, absorbs gravitonium through a process developed by a last vestige of HYDRA and becomes the villain Graviton. Daisy takes an upgraded version of the Centipede serum and defeats Graviton.
» (The fight with Graviton takes place around the same time as the fight with Thanos. There are actually warnings given to various people, Daisy included, that Thanos is coming, but it's not clear on the exact timing of Thanos's arrival and the Snap.)
» Following Coulson's final death, Daisy and Simmons leave Earth to search for Fitz in space.

2019 Summer
» One year later, SHIELD is back! An alien with Coulson's face arrives with his freaky biker gang to stop parasitic alien birds that herald the arrival of the being Izel and the end of the world.
» Daisy returns to Earth after they find Fitz, there are emotions and weirdness with not!Coulson, and the world almost ends before they defeat Izel.
» A species of alien robots called Chronicoms decide to conquer the Earth and claim it as their new homeworld after Izel destroyed theirs. Since SHIELD is the main resistance to their plans, they go back in time to take out SHIELD in the past so they can overtake Earth in the future. An advanced LMD of Coulson is created to help with this mission.
» Team SHIELD travels through the past, hitting 1931, 1955, 1973, 1976, and 1983. They run into a young head of HYDRA, rescue Daniel Sousa from assassination, and avert Project Insight from launching 40 years early, among other exciting adventures.
» Ultimately, they fuck up the timeline a lot and most of SHIELD is wiped out by the Chronicoms. The team travels back to their original timeline via the Quantum Realm and defeats the Chronicoms by Daisy blowing up their fleet from the inside — she dies, but she gets better.

2020 Summer
» One year later, SHIELD is still going strong. They have a helicarrier and a new Academy named after Coulson. Daisy is leading a team on a spaceship as they explore the universe.

The Multiverse Consideration: Since Marvel refuses to clarify whether AoS is actually within the film timeline of the MCU and some people feel very strongly that it is not, I'm totally fine with treating AoS as existing in an alternate timeline and crossing over to the film universe. This is within AoS canon as of season 7 so it's not a problem to integrate into the story!

(But also, please consider this.)

CROSSCANON THINGS

The Setup — With some canons, it's easy to smoosh the two universes together and have them coexist, and that's certainly always an option. It's also extremely easy for me to drop Daisy into other universes via weird Marvel alien monolith shenanigans, which works quite well for anyone who isn't MCU-familiar.
The Canons — DCEU/TV, Supernatural, Sweet Home, Firefly, Stargate (SG-1 and Atlantis), Star Trek (AOS), X-Men Movieverse, Star Wars (Rebellion era), Sanctuary, Pacific Rim, The Expanse, Altered Carbon, Blade Runner, The Sandman, The Walking Dead.

(Is your canon not listed? I may still be familiar, or I might be willing to dive in and check it out! I've marathoned entire seasons in a weekend for RP reasons.)

MARVEL IDEAS

— Sailing Ships forever. I am a horrible dirty shipper and crave both heartache and happiness. MCU and MCU-adjacent ships are always loved but I won't rule out other options! (Especially with folks from other superhero or Weird Stuff canons.) I am happy to brainstorm ideas of how to mesh circumstances and timelines to make things happen.
— Family Feels because that's what this show was built on. Parent moments with Philinda, sibling moments with bus kids and older brother Mack, gimme them all, especially anything set after s7.
— Team Avengers things, because Quake is a superpowered spy who deserves to work with the world's premiere superhero team. If Marvel won't give me this, maybe RP will. (Also hey guys, Coulson's alive! Ish.) Visiting the compound to establish ties with New SHIELD, convalescing in Wakanda after a particularly rough battle... Even just shooting the shit over beers and comparing battle scars would be more than canon will ever give me.
— Time Travel escapades, because she's an old hat at that now... Excuse me while I stare suggestively at the Howling Commandos era. Also messing with the timelines and meeting people throughout the MCU era, since Endgame established we can do what we want.
— AUs / Timeline shenanigans covering What Ifs. What if Daisy had already gone through terrigenesis when she joined SHIELD? What if the team met each other at different points of the timeline? Lots of opportunities here.
— Space Adventures including meeting some of the Marvel folks not based on Earth. She has her own ship now and Fury's got that snazzy space station up and running, so let's get some shenanigans started.
— The Snap things, because AoS kind of went off on its own timeline and never addressed how/if this factored into the show. I have Many Issues with Endgame but I'd still love to play with those years in-between of figuring out what happened, trying to fix it, and learning to cope with the new normal.
— Hell's Kitchen things, because there's been an awful lot happening there and SHIELD is bound to notice eventually... right? Time to gather some intel and maybe pull a few vigilante stunts for old times' sake. (Plus, Daisy has ties to the orphanage where Matt lived.)
— Daisy is Hydra AU where she's a Hydra double agent but actually secretly siding with SHIELD. Teammates would be great for this, but also anyone else who's worked closely with SHIELD in the MCU. (I blame this video.)
— Fucked Up Family Commisserating because Daisy most definitely Understands. There will be many feels if said family was torn apart by tragic circumstances. (Looking at you, Shang-Chi crew.)
— What If? Scenarios and tossing Daisy into that type of scenario. The Framework arc of season 4 remains my favorite and I just want more of that sort of amazing wild story.

OTHER

What genres or tropes do you enjoy? Some favorite things to write include emotional moments, hurt/comfort, bonding over shared experiences/trauma, stolen moments of happiness, normal daily life for people who aren't used to it...
What things are you not interested in? Early years Skye adventures, I much prefer playing her after some of the incredible development she goes through. Not interested in shipping with OG Ward, only AU versions. And while I love the action sequences in the show, I am horrible at actually writing action scenes, so keeping that to a minimum is preferred.
Anything else? If you have ideas or characters not listed, please reach out! I'm open to anything in the Marvel universe and am always excited to hear that someone's interested in my girl.

APOCALYPSE AU »

[chuju]

I don't know what makes my brain crave apocalypse things, but I need to scratch this itch with an AU.

seeking: Someone to weather the apocalypse with. Daisy's a hero and a survivor who will do what it takes to protect others, even (sometimes especially) at her own expense. She's the take charge type but she will follow someone who is doing the Right Thing, and she has lots of experience working in a team who became a found family. Antagonists need not apply unless they've turned hero.

ship preferences: Either f/m or f/f works, it's all about the character dynamics. Daisy's been hurt pretty badly in the past — she suffers from complex PTSD and has a deep fear of rejection and abandonment, so she needs someone who will stand by her and not push when some things are just Too Much. She puts everyone else before herself and she needs someone to put her first once in a while.

AUs, genres, character dynamics, or other faves: Apocalypse vibes to the tune of zombies, alien invasions, nuclear war, weird Death Stranding-esque conditions... Just about any flavor will work for a Suddenly Everything is Awful AU. (Daisy could also be dropped into an apocalyptic other universe because it's Marvel and there's always a way.) Whether characters know what caused it or not, I love how these types of settings force people to confront the best and worst of themselves, and the bonds that canon develop between people as everyday survival becomes a struggle. Also, please someone give me winter apocalypse times because Daisy has cold-related trauma and I need the h/c.
