| Bio: | Bio: This journal is a Role Playing Journal associated with the Chaos Cube Community. The character of Abby Sciuto does not belong to me, nor does anything associated with the 'NCIS' universe or Donald P. Bellisario. I make no profit from playing this character, as this is a game and just for fun. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. E-Mail: forensics.grrl@gmail.com Fandom: 'NCIS' Character: Abby Sciuto Point in Canon: I have decided that this Abby exists post-'NCIS' Season Five. Just another day at the office... Description: Abby is best known for her Gothic style of dress, with at least nine tattoos on her neck, arms, back, ankle and other places, which are only hinted at. There is a large cross on her back and a spider web on her neck. The spider web is pretty much visible the whole time. Her style of clothing often includes short skirts and platform boots. She also states several times that she sleeps in a coffin, and she has a hearse, which seems to have flat tires all the time. Though her main 'colour story' is in shades of black, she also incorporates white and red - frequently in the form of a tartan skirt or a blood-splatter design on her t-shirt - and other colours on occasion. She dies her hair black, but no one knows her original hair colour. She is commonly referred to by the average NCIS employee as 'Goth Girl'. Abby wears period costumes: a poodle skirt and twin set from the 1950s for her bowling league with the nuns. She wears a white lawn nightdress and mobcap as sleeping attire when she stays at the convent. For Halloween one year, Abby dresses as Marilyn Monroe in the white halter-neck dress (which shows off her back tattoo of an elaborate cross). She disingenuously acts as if she doesn't know why the guys are drooling when they see her, as if she has forgotten the dress and blonde wig. Gibbs is amused to see her as a blonde and appreciative of the sight but ‘head slaps’ the boys (Tony and McGee) for being distracted by what they are looking at. She wore a vintage black dress for the funeral of her friend and teammate, Caitlin Todd, and completed the look with a black parasol. In technician mode, Abby wears a red overall (jumpsuit style) with Wicked Witch of the West horizontal striped socks. Abby is probably somewhere between twenty-five and thirty years old. She has commented that she's been thinking about horrible ways to die "on and off for the last twenty-five years." Her complexion is naturally fair but this is enhanced with a pale base make-up, black eye make-up and rich, red lipstick. Her eyes are a pale green Important Personality Traits: Abby is a 'techno geek' and she loves using her many skills and equipment to solve the mysteries her fellow NCIS teammates present to her. She loves a mystery and like a dog with a bone, has trouble letting something go until she has the solution. Abby is loyal to her friends and devoted to discovering the Truth through her work. She has a faith that goes beyond religion to embrace science and even the supernatural. Abby also thrives on caffeine but unlike Gibbs she prefers to have it in form of a soda, Caf-Pow!. She gets rewards of Caf-Pow!'s from Gibbs when she gives him answers. Abby addicted to this beverage, which appears to be orange or pink in color; possibly a soda. The rest of the team are fully aware of this and frequently bribe her with large cups of it. Abby has argued that coffee could be considered a fruit juice in response to the statement that the Caf-Pow! is not fruit juice. She has a tendency to ramble when excited and crams a lot of information and side stories into a very short space of time, talking to someone who has entered her lab as if she's been saving the words all day for their arrival. This, along with the amount of information she expects people to be able to absorb and her frequently esoteric and/or pop-culture references leave some overwhelmed and others completely confused. Most of the time, her teammates don’t end up cross-eyed. She has a happy-go-lucky attitude and a sweet personality. She also has a strong social conscience and displays a true liking for all kinds of people. She goes bowling with nuns and stays at their convent house when her apartment has plumbing problems. She fell in love with a little person when she is 5ft 11in, and she dated him and was distraught when he rejected her as being too tall. She spends her free time on projects such as Habit for Humanity, providing electrical wiring work on social housing projects, to which she recruits Tim McGee (when he remembers to show up). Abby's first instinct is usually to solve people's problems by hugging them. Abby is totally in touch with the zeitgeist but endearingly naive about people: she has not worked out that it is inappropriate to hug the Director when she is angry, nor has she realized that Ziva doesn’t know how to hug or how to share emotions. When she trusts someone, she trusts completely. She can simultaneously be strong and vulnerable. Abby treats sex in the much the same way as music. She can make Gibbs uncomfortable by disclosing sex-related information, such as "Good news: I am not pregnant" to which he responds "TMI" (too much information). Apparently, her ‘first time’ was in a cab. Abby has a Top 3 "worst ways to die" - 1. Falling into a wood chipper. 2. Drowning in lava. 3.Being eaten by a shark. It should be noted that she has a stuffed collar-wearing hippo named Bert, who farts when squeezed. She has voodoo dolls that she plays with when she's stressed, but doesn't practice voodoo. They are just dolls to her. She talks to her machines, usually leading to quizzical looks from outsiders. She is exuberant and encouraging and very out-going. The term 'wall-flower' need not apply. She is quite possibly the most generally cheerful Goth in the history of Goths. Canon Facts: (The Short Form) Abigail "Abby" Sciuto ("shoe-toe") is a forensic scientist at the NCIS offices in Washington, DC. She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, where she graduated with full honors from LSU with a triple major in sociology, criminology and psychology. She earned her master's degree from Georgia State University in criminology and forensic science. Abby is a hearing child of deaf parents and likes her music loud. Abby is brilliant and extremely well versed in her field of study, rarely stumped by the evidentiary puzzles which Gibbs' team present to her; she has been shown to exhibit an almost religious zeal for the field of forensics. Also, she does all the work on the evidence herself. One time when she is given an "assistant", Chip Sterling, she revolts, but puts up with him. He ends up trying to frame her teammate, Tony DiNozzo, causing Abby to obsess with finding the exonerating evidence. After she exonerates DiNozzo, Chip attempts to kill Abby, who is able to incapacitate him and secure him with duct tape without suffering any personal injuries herself. She has not had another assistant since. She also once said, as a threat against McGee, “I am one of the few people in the world who can murder you and leave no forensic evidence.” And she’s probably correct. She was in the science club in high school, so her interest expressed itself at an early age. Abby is fluent in sign language because her parents are deaf. She can also lip-read. She is always striving to break new ground in her areas of expertise. She has invented a new technique to clean up surveillance video and considers submitting a paper entitled 'Digital Optical Enhancement of Reflective Surfaces with Scattered Refractive Properties' to a forensics journal. She is able to manufacture fake IDs easily: "Please Gibbs, I've been making fake IDs since I was 15," which hints at a misspent youth - that, or she was very bored and had to channel her energy into many, many ‘hobbies’. Possibly both. Some other random facts: She was arrested in 1990 for indecent exposure at a Rolling Stones concert in Los Angeles. Abby is very computer savvy, on par with McGee's abilities. She hates being called Abigail, but will tolerate it from Ducky in certain situations. Abby's skills include material analysis, ballistics and computer hacking. She developed an interest in forensic science because she used to live near a car lot where an undisclosed "they" (presumably a local police force) would bring burned-out car wrecks, and she would go out and take pictures because she enjoyed figuring out exactly how things had happened: 'the science of the whole thing'. Her scientist mind and personality is strong and she is an independent and self-capable thinker. She has a very strong work ethic and feels that everyone should have the same approach. She has been with NCIS longer than any the rest of Gibbs' crew (except, of course, for Ducky). She is old enough to have the longest working relationship with Gibbs in the NCIS Navy Yard HQ, again, next to Ducky. Relationships: She gets on well with all the rest of the team, particularly Tony DiNozzo, who is like a goofy big brother to her, and is fond of Ducky who frequently refers to her as "Abigail". Uniquely, she shows no fear of Gibbs. Their relationship is not so much colleague or friend as father-daughter, with Abby always keen to show him her latest triumph like an excited child and Gibbs showing her open affection. This aspect was clearly evident when Ari made an attempt on her life. Gibbs demonstrated fatherly protectiveness to a suddenly small and frightened Abby - not to mention overt rage at her would-be assassin. Abby was a close friend of Caitlin Todd (Kate), with references to them hanging out after work and Kate even having been talked into getting a tattoo. During the time the team was having trauma-induced hallucinations of deceased agent Todd, Abby's imaginary Caitlin appeared as a Goth figure with long, pure white hair who comforted her. She has an impressive list of ex-boyfriends, including a gemologist (Benjamin) and a NASA satellite technician (Ashton), and she's still on good terms with most of them. She was briefly stalked by an ex-boyfriend, who was eventually caught. She had a relationship with McGee, which she stated that she would like to keep casual. Although the relationship has ended, she has since exhibited jealousy over the attention that McGee gives to Ziva. Although when Ziva David first joined the team she was cold towards her but as time has gone on she has warmed up considerably, sometimes confiding in her and Ziva trusting her. Abby first started to warm up to her at the conclusion of a tense situation where Ziva and Tony were pinned down in a large shipping crate. Abby runs up to Ziva, hugs her and says, "I'm glad you're not dead." I have included here a copy of the 'Employee Assessment File' created for the Abby's character on the 'NCIS' website when the show first aired. I find it very thorough and absolutely hysterical. File: 0DC56932-00043Z Date: 2 June 2004 Subject: Sciuto, A. Classification: Confidential **Director's Eyes Only** Prepared by: NCIS Special Agent Bernard Ellis EMPLOYEE ASSESSMENT FILE NAME: Abigail "Abby" Sciuto KNOWN ALIASES: HeLrAiSer32, Miss-Cold-Ember, B2Killerzs, Cyberskank1982, Deathstlker49, Vamperstein8782. AGE: Late twenties. TATTOOS: As of yesterday, 1900 hours, nine. PREVIOUS LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERIENCE: Arrested 5 June, 1990 Los Angeles, Indecent Exposure, Rolling Stones Concert. Suspected of hacking into numerous private and corporate databases--never proven. EDUCATION: Triple Major at LSU--Sociology, Criminology and Psychology. Graduated with full honors. Master's Degree from Georgia State University in Criminology and Forensic Science, graduated with honors. WORK HISTORY: Worked at a local funeral home in New Orleans, Louisiana all four years of high school. Subject reports she became interested in Forensics because her family lived near a wrecking yard. She would examine the most gruesome car wrecks and try to imagine what happened. She states "Action, reaction, the science of the whole thing, I got hooked." **NOTE: Within the first ten minutes of the interview the Subject asked me if I ever had sex in a coffin…No, I'm not making that up. SPECIAL SKILLS: Materials analysis, ballistics, computer science, blood and tissue analysis, American Sign Language [ASL], perfume making, ground penetrating radar operator, DNA analysis, reptile and rodent pet care. CURRENT OCCUPATION: NCIS FORENSIC SPECIALIST Time in Service [TIS] Five years PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION: Subject has an unusual attraction to the unnatural. She is known to take photographs of injuries, develop them in neon colors and hang them on her lab walls. **NOTE: She has actually had gallery interest in a print entitled "shotgun brain splatter - a really still life". Subject dresses in "Goth" attire, including numerous piercings, tattoos, body jewelry and wears homemade perfume that smells of gunpowder. She also appears to fear direct contact with sunlight. **NOTE: Once again…I am not making this up. Despite her atypical appearance (to the law enforcement community) she is undeniably competent at her job and enjoys her work. Her unrelentingly cheerful demeanor [though refreshing] may hint at an undocumented drug problem. Recommend she be tested for substance abuse as soon as it's convenient. It is also possible that her behavior is a reaction, in part, to her parents, who were both deaf. **NOTE: It's this interviewer's personal opinion that she was most likely born this way. It happens. MEDICAL EVALUATION: Besides the obvious pallor of her skin, the examining Physician reports her to be in fine physical shape. Her drug screen also came back…completely clean. **NOTE: I recommend we send her urine to another lab. It never hurts to be certain. Physician also recommends that she curtail her consumption of CAFF-POW! a super caffeinated soda that has been linked to cancer and heart attacks in several laboratory mice. PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: Abby's romantic involvements appear to be many and varied, from needy gemologists to nerdy NASA engineers. She believes that dating older men is a sign of maturity. Subject once had a relationship with sixty-five-year-old Biology Professor for the stated goal of acquiring movie discounts. Subject currently is involved in an "on again, off again" relationship with Special Agent Timothy McGee, a recent transfer from Norfolk Naval Station. She seems to be well liked by her co-workers in spite of her [or perhaps because of her] irregular lifestyle. TROUBLESOME FOOTNOTE: I'd have to go with…everything. And, yes, that really is the 'short form'. Please Note - Credit Where Credit Is Due: Though I am a big fan of the show and enjoy it immensely, not all of these details were at my fingertips when I worked on this application. There are many sites, including the official CBS 'NCIS' website, which neatly catalogues all sorts of information about the characters from the show. I read many of them during my research for this application and thank them most profusely for their eloquent hard work keeping track of our favourite Goth. :) | |||||||||
