//Basic Information
Played By: Themascura
Codename: Poison Ivy
Civilian Identity: Dr. Pamela Isley.
Nicknames: Ivy, Greenie, Plant-Chick, Red
Gender: Female
//Description
Age: 29
Apparent age: Early thirties, late twenties
Hair: Red, shoulder length, thick and wavy hair.
Eyes: Green eyes
Height and weight: 5'9'' 170 Lbs
Appearance
Pamela, or Poison Ivy as she is better known, is best known for her red hair, green skin, and va-va-voom curves clothed in... well, not a whole lot.
Her hair is the vibrant, vivid shade of red often associated with roses. It is thick and wavy, falling to about mid-back at its longest point. She generally wears it down, but swept back out of her face. Various leaves, vines, and flowers often adorn her hair and legs.
Another of Ivy's most notable traits, her green skin, is caused by chlorophyll in her blood stream. Originally her skin was a creamy pale color, even after her change. The green color, caused by a sudden increase in chlorophyll, was caused by the accidental spillage of a potion onto her skin.
Poison Ivy is fairly tall, and very curvaceous. Her legs comprise most of her height. Her face is heart-shaped, with wide cheekbones and a pointed chin. Emerald green eyes dominate the plane of her face, coupled with naturally arched red eyebrows and a pointed, patrician nose.
Normally Ivy can be seen in a plain green leotard coupled with yellow-green latex tights and a pair of high-heeled green boots, all of which are covered in vines or flowers at least half the time. This, however, is only her typical costume. She has often donned the garb of a scientist as her alter-ego, Pamela Isley, and, of course, she can sometimes be seen wearing prison garb (usually while interred at Arkham.)
//Abilities: Meta and Natural
Meta Abilities
Plant Control: Her abilities seem to be short-range, however, extending a little over eight feet from her person. This control is also limited by the size and physical limitations of the plant itself. She cannot, for instance, cause a tree to bend itself in half to hit a person. She can, however, cause the tree to swing it's limbs. Without the aid of her various chemicals she cannot cause them to grow past their current size, either.
Plant-like Personal Abilities: Ivy can produce poison in her lips on will, and generally coats her nails with a similar poison. She can also, it seems, produce the cure at will in a similar manner. Ivy is immune to all poisons and toxins as well. In addition to the poisons, Ivy is somewhat stronger and more agile than she was before her accident. Instead of being super-human in any of these categories, she more closely resembles any normal human who has invested a great deal of time in training. She is about as strong and agile as an Olympian, but is no faster than she was before. She can also produce a type of spore that typically produces a relaxed, complaint state in her victims much like a hypnotic one. She uses this state to control her victim with suggestions and the occasional manipulation of the spore to cause emotional reactions in key with her cause.
Natural Abilities
Intelligence: In her past, Ivy was a well-respected chemist specializing in plants. As a very intelligent woman she engineered and still engineers chemical cocktails that have various effects on plants. The most common of these 'potions' is to cause plants to grow faster, become more intelligent/predatory (typically by splicing animal and plant dna) or stronger. She once created a serum that, with extended use, could turn human beings into tree-like plants.
Equipment: Occasionally Poison Ivy enlists the help of a gun, but typically her equipment is limited to what chemicals and supplies she has on hand in any given location. She might have some plant-changing serum with her at any place but she'd be far more likely just to bring the enhanced PLANTS with her. In her lair, on the other hand, or in a place she's been working in for an extended period she is more likely to have chemicals including poisons and plant-changing substances around.
Origin of Abilities: Ms. Isley was an up-and-coming young biochemist in college, a rising star noted for her uncommon skill with plant material. One of her professors noticed this in the young woman, and for his own nefarious means set about seducing her. Suffering from a lack of love at home and in her childhood, Pamela was an easy target for the man. Before she knew it, she was allowing him to inject her experimentally to further his research. She nearly died twice from these tests, resulting in not only her new plant-based abilities, but in insanity as well.
//Weaknesses
Photosynthesis: Like the boy-in-blue (Superman) Ivy needs exposure to the sun in order to use her powers. Water is also a must. Without either of these things, her powers will wane and become almost non-existent.
Biochemistry and plant manipulation: As mentioned, Ivy can't cause her plants to become near-sentient animal-like creatures without access to chemicals and time to mix them. She also cannot cause them to grow outside of their normal means or strengths without those same materials. The best she can do is move them around in these situations, which can never the less be a fairly potent weapon. Also, the mind-control spore can only float a certain distance (about four feet) and any sufficiently strong-willed person (like Batman) can resist it.
//Personalty
After surviving a murder attempt, Ivy's personality completely changed from the shy, reclusive creature she had been. She became less interested in what people thought, or what society cared about. She began to shun most of human kind. Eventually her distance became antipathy. Ivy now cares little for civilization and will think nothing of killing (most) people in order to save a rare plant, or plants in general. This has driven her to a bio-terrorist state, leading to mass poisonings, assassination attempts and a spree of robberies to fund research and development. Her ultimate goal seems to be a paradise, somewhere, untainted by man or man's pollutions.
One of the largest components to Ivy's personality is the fact that she -is- somewhat insane. Her moods can switch without warning from sweet to murderous, and she genuinely seems to believe that even the most mundane of her plants can not only think (as opposed to feel) but also can form complex thoughts and even speak with her. She views plants as her family, her best friends, and in some cases her children. These feelings have erased her need for normal human interaction, although she can still find some pleasure in making friends with certain people (Harley Quinn for instance.) This does mean, however, that she has emotional attachments to plants like she would humans. She seems to mourn their deaths individually, some as little as a pet goldfish, some as deeply as a best friend or sibling.
So long as she doesn't view a person as a threat to plant-life, she can be very kind and nurturing, especially toward children or abused women. She seems to have a basic dislike for most men, probably stemming from her abuse and attempted murder at the hands of her ex-lover. There is also a strain of feminist superiority to her outlook, though not enough to cause her to underestimate most men. Instead she seems to believe that given the opportunity, most men will take a dark path instead of the 'right one'. She often acts in a condescending manner toward men in positions of power.
//Background
Ivy was born into a lonely, sad existence. Her parents, for whatever reason, never seemed to care much for her. She grew up constantly craving love but never receiving it. Not much else is known about her childhood, except that she must have loved plants from a young age as she went on to study advanced botanical biochemistry at a Seattle College when she was old enough.
She was brilliant enough to study under the mind of Dr. Woodrue (Later the Floronic Man) in a class with women and men like Alec Holland (Later the Swamp Thing). Unfortunately, she was also a very shy and easily manipulated young woman. Her professor, an unscrupulous man, seduced her in order to procure himself a human test subject. Pamela, still thirsting for the love she never received as a child, allowed herself to be injected with many different substances. She didn't resist, even when one of these sessions nearly resulted in her death.
Things continued in this manner until a second near-fatal session changed everything. Somehow Pamela ended up in the hospital, nearly dead with her lover, the esteemed professor, on the run from the law. Eventually she would recover and rejoin the outside world, but the damage had already been done. Her personality (and mind) had completely and irrevocably changed.
Some time after being released from the hospital, Pamela's boyfriend at the time died in a horrible car accident, mysteriously covered in a fungus. After his death, Pamela moved to Gotham, where she set up shop. Here she began working toward her goal of saving plant-life from humans and took up the identity of Poison Ivy. She attempted to assassinate the Mayor, ransom the life of the entire city with suffocating spores, and turn the owners/CEOs of polluting companies into trees. She has landed in Arkham Asylum more than once, but has managed to escape more often than not. Currently she has escaped (again) and is back in Gotham, gearing up for her next big crime.
