Vivacia Thurmont - APEX INSTITUTE DIRECTOR (ICOR)
Doctor Vivacia Thurmont became the Director of the Apex Institute back in 2013, and she is an ICOR plant. A biologist by trade and formerly the CEO of a multinational company she's more than qualified to run the biotech mogul. She was also altered by the Gloam and empower with the aptitude of an Arcanist. Powers she employs when necessary.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Vivacia was, like most, brought into ICOR at an early age. She was groomed and prepared for her life in the Institute and is among those rare individuals gifted, or cursed with the knowledge of the what the world was like prior to the Gloaming.
She may be the Director of Apex, but she is the second in command in ICOR, the leadership position resting on the shoulders of Desmond Rook whom she respects and trusts. Her mission is basically to study all aspects of the Gloam and ensure that area stays out of the public eye. Realizing that agents of Krius are always lurking in the shadows, even within Apex, she is ever vigilant.
As an Arcanist, she excels at magic that provides her with powers of clairvoyance and the ability to enter people's dreams. It's an art that requires extensive preparation, the possession of items from her target, and the use of a tremendous amount of mana which often leaves her weary for twenty-four hours after. Her 'dream-walks' are used to influence people, sometimes communicate with those aware of her talents. She cannot physically harm a person in their dreams, but she can and has induced sleep-walking episodes through which she can direct a person into harms way. (Because, we commonly use NPC sub-characters as antagonists, power of control are very easy to write and portray because the writer both controls the actions of the NPC and their own character.) She also possesses a magical ability that she can quickly use in defence which the "Hand of Pain", causing painful paralysis which she often combines with an incantation that allows her to blow a black smoke into their lungs that mimics death from smoke inhalation.
