History:
Ezili’s power was inherited. Way back down the line of her ancestors, somewhere, someone figured out how to turn their flesh into a weapon. Ezili never managed to figure out how or why or what deity their souls were probably sold to, but also never really cared enough to know. Her ancestors were always living in poverty, taken advantage of, and generally just miserable. When someone finally figured out how to protect the family, by turning themselves into living dolls meant for revenge and torture, everything changed.
By consuming a bit of DNA from a target, the effect would begin; the host would have pain inflicted upon their body, and the pain would then get transferred to whoever’s DNA they had consumed. For this, they were able to protect themselves from the harsh realities of poverty.
However…
TheĀ  power also had a different merit. By subjecting themselves to pain, the men and women of Ezili’s family were able to inflict pain on others. Many rich men were willing to pay for this skill; and thus, the business began. The duBois family would accept large amounts of money for their services, consume the DNA of a subject not even seen, and then proceed to be beaten and tortured to inflict it upon the subject. They never saw their targets, only took their payments and pain killers.
The power of the family allowed them to rise from poverty to wealth almost overnight. They kept their power a secret of course, available only to those with enough money and influence and desperation to find them. It didn’t matter, though; business was booming.
But of course, the family felt all pain that they inflicted as well; and with the money they made, they did not need to take every single client that wanted to get revenge. Since they were reluctant to take many clients, prices soared, and they gained even more money. Enough to protect themselves and keep themselves secret, and to live in peace and prosperity.
But, every child born to the family had the same power. And try as they might, no descendant was ever able to escape the easy money. Even with college educations, learned trades, licenses for anything and everything, the descendants could never win against the urge to just simply get beaten up once for millions of dollars.
It wasn’t an actual curse, of course; the money was just too easy to earn.
Ezili was no exception. As a result, she grew up bitter and upset at her power; how easy it was to make a living, but at the cost of her own identity. Despite havingĀ  everything she could ever want, she never felt right about it. Ezili felt like she was born to play only one role; and despite going to school and eventually getting her degree in Biology and Chemistry, working for $15 an hour was just too soul sucking. It was so much easier to inject fentanyl, get the shit beaten out of her for an easy pay day, and then spend the next three weeks fucked up on morphine.
Despite her luxury, her power, her material possessions…she always just felt empty. The emptiness turned into frustration, and the frustration turned into rage, and the rage turned into depression.
She felt just like what others saw her as; a doll.
