Origin:

As are her fellows in the Gi Joe team, Bombstrike is naught but a normal human, having no unique abilities of her own. However, she's very good at what she does, and works hard to fight for the forces of freedom with only conventional military hardware to back her up.

Known Powers:

(none)

Equipment:

the Joe-Com: this is a new device given to all Joes since the group's reactivation. This high-tech wristband functions as an audio/video transceiver with various other goodies built in to help a soldier on the go, and is described in greater detail in its own equipment entry.

Machine Gun: her primary personal offensive weapon, Alyssa can use this implement to inflict devastating damage on enemy personnel. She can fire it to inflict Good (10) Shooting damage in a short burst, raising this to Excellent (20) Shooting damage if she opens up full auto.

Radio: helping her perform her job as a forward air controller, this equipment has much better range than her Joe-Com. Working at Good (10) rank, it allows Alyssa a 2,500 mile radio transceiver range, and is equipped with Remarkable (30) intensity signal encryption.

Semi-automatic Pistol: her back-up piece, Alyssa can use this weapon when her primary is either impractical or disabled. It can be fired to inflict Typical (6) Shooting damage in a single shot, raised to Good (10) Shooting damage in a short, controlled burst.

Quirks:

Enemy: the fall of Alyssa's brother, the Cobra goon now known as Blackout, has warped the man's mind and perceptions of his siblings. He is insanely jealous of both Barrel Roll and Alyssa for becoming Joes where he failed, and makes a point of acting on this when he can.

Talents:

Detective / Espionage: Alyssa's secondary military specialty involves counter-intelligence work. As such she has attended a variety of different schools to learn everything she needs, and gains a +1 CS whenever digging into mysteries or pumping others for information.

Guns: a skill Alyssa picked up as a general matter of course, she can fire most standard weapons with ease. Whenever wielding a standard, semi-automatic or fully automatic rifle or pistol, Alyssa may do so as though her Agy was +1 CS in rank.

Marksman: furthermore, Alyssa has been trained in the fine art of line of sight weaponry, able to calculate trajectories and do three dimensional math in her head. This gives her a +1 CS when using mortars, rockets, or correctly pinpointing where aircraft should drop ordnance.

Martial Arts type B: an essential skill she picked up during her basic training, this talent showcases Alyssa's ability to defend herself while unarmed. When she attempts to punch, kick, or otherwise strike a foe unarmed, Alyssa may do so at her Ftg score +1 CS.

Military / United States: as did her two brothers before her, Alyssa enlisted in the military. She has been very successful at it, and as such she can seamlessly integrate herself into almost any military structure, and knows the S.O.P. like the back of her hand.

Sports / Soccer: the one skill she picked up outside the military, this talent describes Alyssa's incredible skill at her passion - the game of soccer. She may add a +1 CS to FEATs applicable to the game, whether playing it or in related knowledge.

Contacts:

As a member of the Gi Joe team, Alyssa can easily rely upon her fellows for assistance should she but ask. This is especially true of her brother Barrel Roll, who has in fact gone out of his way to help Alyssa when she was abducted by her other brother, Blackout.

Costume:

Alyssa wears a simple, utilitarian Gi Joe uniform. It consists of a brown T shirt with the Gi Joe logo on the chest, two-toned, green camouflage trousers, gray boots, gloves and knee pads, overlapping gray belts, and a green backpack to hold her radio gear.

Personality:

Alyssa is a courageous and dedicated young woman, working hard to rise above her family history - which would be a proud one, save for her idiot brother, Blackout. She's very competitive, though knows where to draw the line - unless lives are at stake, that is.

Story:

Alyssa comes from a patriotic family that enjoys military service. Both of her brothers joined the Army - and both tried to become Gi Joe operatives. Alyssa followed in their stead, hoping to do as well as they did - but it turned out that Alyssa would do even better in some regards.

Though one of her brothers became the Joe known as Barrel Roll, the other washed out catastrophically, eventually becoming the Cobra operative Blackout. Hoping to be good enough to offset the damage Blackout caused the family name, Alyssa worked even harder to prove herself.

She did, and eventually made it onto the Gi Joe team as well. Working as a forward air controller, she is at the forefront of military action, calling down air strikes when necessary to support her team in the field. It was on one such operation that Alyssa came face to face with Trouble.

This trouble came in the form of her brother Blackout, who was manning a Cobra facility that Alyssa and her teammates were assaulting. When the smoke cleared, Alyssa had vanished without a trace, apparently abducted by Blackout for his own sinister purposes.

Though it took some time, Barrel Roll and several other Joes managed to liberate Alyssa before Blackout could do anything particularly slimy. Which may've been a good thing, because Alyssa would've likely taken Blackout apart if only given the smallest of chances.

Reunited with the Joes, Alyssa was subsequently 'deactivated' along with the rest of the team, when it reformed itself as a small group of special operations soldiers. Placed on reserve, she would only be used in the field when the Joe team needed her specialized skills.

There was only one documented case of this, during Cobra's attempt at world conquest during World War III, a conflict of Cobra's devising. When the Gi Joe team narrowly defeated this plan, Cobra Commander and several other leaders of Cobra were finally captured at long last.

As such, the Joes were ramped back up anew, working hard to capture all the terrorists of that group who managed to escape Justice. Naturally, Alyssa is at the forefront of this charge, having a very, very personal stake in bringing in Blackout and his jerky cohorts in Cobra...
