**Epsilon** is an original character that has some loose inspirations from various other movies and shows. She is one of the characters hired by BB to aid him in defeating L.

## Appearance

Epsilon an attractive young woman, before becoming a call girl she often used her beauty in her card games to distract her opponent. Not the organization makes use them to get info out of her johns.

## History

Epsilon is from the United States while her parents are from Japan she’s only been there once when she was a kid, though she’s kept up her proficiency in the Japanese language. When Epsilon was in university she needed money, so got in with one of those card counting groups. They did a couple runs, nothing too successful, but she always had her eye on the poker tables. Epsilon was REAL good at reading people. She knew who was buffing, what hands they likely had, what kind of stakes they would play. So, eventually she went off on her own.

While successful too, getting decent games in legit surroundings was difficult so she moved to less legit. She kept playing and kept winning until she got real full of myself.

Hearing about this BIG game. Two million buy in, Ten million pot. It was the chance of a lifetime, and since she was pretty much undefeated, Epsilon didn’t hesitate. Only problem, even with all her previous winnings, She was over a million short of the buy in. Her usual backers didn’t have that kind of cash, so she went up the chain.

Epsilon quickly discovered that all of her previous opponents didn’t compare to these new players and she stuck it out to the final 3. paying her backers back was not a realistic option so she was forced to work for them as a high priced call girl.

## Plot

With each of the organizations that they work form is looking at potential extinction at the hands of Cupid. Alpha, Beta, Epsilon, and Delta were ordered to work with BB who they only knew as Gamma to capture or eliminate Cupid as a threat. Eppsilon was the last to arrive allowing Gamma to brief them on their mission as well as inform them that they were competing with L. Much to their confusion he didn’t want them to try to kill L, but mostly because he believed that any attempt would fail.

Gamma provided them with new identities making sure that they knew that he would send them home to whatever punishment they can dream up if they became a liability. The first thing BB did was have Beta hack into a building and the level of security it had confirmed to him that L was staying there. Wanting access to L’s network he had Beta and Delta go set up surveillance. Epsilon decided to go as and was able to catch up with them due to Beta having to configure her equipment. The three got to know each other as they waited.

It took them a couple hours of scoping out the building but they were able confirm that it was L’s place. With the level of security Delta gave them one in six odds of living through their mission. He and Epsilon then chastised a confused Beta for not realizing this was most likely a suicide mission. Causing her to chistize them in kind for how nonchalant they were being about it.

Delta didn’t bring this just to mess with Beta and suggested that they find Cupid themselves. With Cupids power they could clean up everyone who might rat them out or pursue them, and when they get off the grid, maybe even bring down those organizations entirely. With nothing to lose they agreed. Seeing how distraught Beta was Epsilon told her to go take a shower playing it off as motion sickness.

Gamma congratulated them on their work telling them that two blocks around L’s building was now off limits until they thought up a plan to deal with them. He had Alpha go get him more jam however this was just a ruse to reveal to Epsilon, Beta and Delta that he had overheard their conversation. Gamma didn’t just hire them for their skill but their situation as well. They all had indications of wishing to be free of their current predicaments. He could offer them aid in such.

Gamma’s only goal was to defeat L if they helped him in that endeavour he would reward them for their loyalty. Delta was about to agree only to be cut off by Epsilon who wanted proof of trust. She asked him how he was able to predict people’s death. Gamma explained his eyes to them. With no real choice they agreed. It was some hours later when Epsilon retired to her room. She was sharing it with Beta, but the computer geek was busying herself with something in the main room leaving the room to Epsilon alone. After a shower she laid back on her bed to relax only to be told that L was abut to make his response to Cupid.

As expected by all, the video started with L’s usual scripted moniker as the only thing on screen before the detective in question began speaking is his usual electronically distorted voice. However not only did L deny Cupid’s request he had a recording of the first Cupid denying the new ones legitimacy. This was far bolder than Gamma credit for as he essentially painted a target on his back. However he decided that he could use this, as stated by Epsilon and Delta L suspected that his action would cause a huge protest and riot so he began to make plans to storm the building.

Delta was searching the bug Gamma placed in the van when he was interrupted by Epsilon. Giving him a hard look she told him that she was more suspicious of someone tipping him off. When Delta dismissed it she pointed out that Beta took a while to report in. Epsilon continued stating that it could be her, or maybe Gamma had already removed the bug, or maybe he just guessed their intents given how much he’s been studying them. Delta conceded that it really didn’t matter in the end when the others arrived.

The crew’s van stopped several blocks from the building. The street ahead was already jammed with people. Gamma and Epsilon remained outside to oversee the situation, while Alpha went with Beta. Gamma made sure that he knew that she wasn’t expendable. It was Delta job to rile up the crowd by asking them if they wanted to help them break in. When one of the pointed out the buildings security Delta told them that they had explosives. The others began passing out masks to the crowd. As Alpha, Beta and Delta headed off together into the crowd Epsilon asked Gamma what they would do in the meantime. He told her to continue to distribute the mask and look for anything interesting. Once the fun starts, they’ll make their departure.

Delta led the last of the crew into their shared meeting room where Epsilon and Gamma were already waiting, Gamma consuming yet another jar of jam. Beta shook her head at Delta who was basking at once again feeling the high of adrenalin while Epsilon cautioned him not to let it go to his head. Beta and Alpha informed Gamma about how Ranma prevented them from finishing. Gamma confirmed that he did pick Alpha after studying Nerima. Delta was able to use the worshipers as distractions to get into upper stairwell giving Beta backdoor access into the system.

The crew were busying themselves in various ways as they waited for Beta’s surveillance. She nearly jumped out of her chair when her computer came to life gaining everyone’s attention, save Alpha who continued reading his doujin. Seeing that there was nothing for them to do as Beta roamed L’s network Delta commented on how excited she was. Epsilon initially brushed it off as her being in her element but even she felt it was to much when Beta started maniacally laughing.

Gamma told Delta that it was time to arrange for phase two. He warned that the people they Gamma was planning on sacrificing weren’t going to be happy, but Gamma already had plans for that. With Delta’s departure he had Epsilon seduce Alpha he was about half way through his jar by the time Epsilon and Alpha departed the room. The sun now set, Epsilon returned to the main room to find only Beta present who was still tracing the outside computer.

Gamma came out of his room and asked if she had completed her other assignment and she confirmed that she was able to mess with the back records. By this point L should have figured out that he was involved, meaning that he would be extra cautious. So in order to distract him Gamma had Delta get a few yakuza to attempt to penetrate the workers coming in to conduct repairs. The obviousness of this was just enough of a distraction for Beta’s actions making it look like Gamma had paid the real repairman off. So while L was looking at them he wouldn’t realize just how compromised he was.

Gamma was aware that even this wouldn’t distract L for long so they need to capitalize on their advantage while they still could. He told Beta to tell him the moment she found the external computer and left again. Epsilon started to follow Gamma’s lead only for Beta to ask her about Alpha. She told her that he wasn’t as bad as she expected and expressed her confidence that they might be able to turn him to their side.

Epsilon hid how annoyed she was at Gamma suddenly engaging with the crew after being so focused on the listening devices they gained access to. As well as the fact that her teammates seemed oblivious to this change in behavior. When he asked them for their input after a condensed replay of various recording from both the Tendos' and from Ms. Nakako's residence. Epsilon said nothing despite feeling that the conclusions were so obvious., Instead Beta took the lead, concluding that there were 3 Cupids. Much to her further annoyance he agreed with her assessment as well as a few others made. She began to wonder if he was messing with them. Tired of trying to figure Gamma out she eventually decided to just play along and joined in on the conversation. Gamma came up with a plan but needed further monitoring. So, until he was ready, they would simply observe and prepare.

Epsilon was resting on the bed when Alpha came out of the shower. As he got dressed, he informed Epsilon that whatever plans she had with the others for Cupid he didn’t care. While she smirked at Alpha admitting that he wasn’t the loyal guard dog that Philip believed him to be (even revealing that he knew that Philips girlfriend was cheating on him) that didn’t mean that she believed him. Alpha just shrugged as he said he didn’t care like them he knew what was in store once they captured Cupid. Alpha explained how he became a mob enforcer after Epsilon asked him why he became so apathetic. He did ask about her relationship with Gamma having noticed how the two seemed to talk privately with each other every now and then. Though he accepted it when she told him that it wasn’t any of his business. Epsilon did end up telling Alpha about how Gamma predicted her death.

A while later, Epsilon entered the main room finding the others all gathered there. Alpha looked at her before looking away, quickly, dropping onto the coach, arms crossed, lost in thought. Epsilon regarded him for a moment before walking over to Gamma who smiled back at her. He told her that Alpha had decided to join their cause. He also told her that he seemed to be taken with her and suggested that she take advantage of this when the time comes. Epsilon simply looked at him with a level gaze before walking away, causing Gamma to smirk before returning to the others.
