Realistic or Modern Fragmentation [Character Section]

Character Thread

If your character receives a like from me, it is accepted and will go through the process of power creation.

In the case of Natural Triggers, I will generate a power based on the details included, and in the case of Cauldron Triggers, I will ask you for what kind of power you're looking for and, from there, we will discuss further on the vial your character purchased.

Currently, there is a character limit of one Natural and one Cauldron cape per player. If this changes, I will tag all players in the OOC to inform them of this.

All players are also allowed to create uncontrollable parahuman NPCs that will be handled by the GM, but I request that you either submit these ideas to me first, or do so only for backstory reasons (ie: A villain who went by name X did A to my character, resulting in the Trigger.) You may also use the NPCs from the Informations section for Trigger Events.

Players can freely control all non-powered NPCs, but players whose characters are from opposite groups cannot contextually control the NPCs of the enemy group without GM permission. For example, the player of a hero character shouldn't decide what gang members are doing, and a player of a villain character shouldn't decide what PRT squaddies are doing. In the case of players having characters from both groups, these restrictions don't apply, but you should still be reasonable in exercising such control.

There are no limitations on civilian NPCs, and they may be controlled freely for in-story reasons.

  BASIC INFORMATION
  Name: Comfort
  Aliases: "C", "CT", "Katie"
  Age: >1 year
  Gender: Neither, resembles female
• PERSONAL
  Sexuality: Asexual
  
  Personality: An incredibly friendly robot if there ever was one, made with the express purpose of talking to people in the hopes of improving her creator's public relations. She jokes and has a most infectious laugh that the robot uses as frequently as possible to help ensure the comfortability of those in her presence. Comfort finds a way to make every situation seem well and knows how to make those feeling down get up once more. Calm in stressful situations and always forgiving.
  
  Backstory: A creation by a young mechanic gifted with a tinkering ability that decided to create a friend due to their sheer ineptitude when it came to sociality, aided by their ability gifted to them through mysterious ways and luck. His ability lead the way, and before he knew it, he had created a kind robot with the simple intention of communicating and helping him with whatever problems he had, be it simply venting his mind to the robot he had affectionately named "Comfort", or simply wishing to have a fun chat with, yet while this mechanical marvel's main purpose was to simply be a conversation partner, it also harboured several defence mechanisms to help protects the tinkerer himself.
  
  The boy was soon sought after by the EPR after calls about a strange, alien-looking robot had been reported within the young tinkerer's room and had eventually reached their ears. He was questioned briefly before having Comfort taken away from him for a brief testing period to check what the robot was capable of, making sure it wasn't to be used for any sort of malicious purpose. They soon discovered the purpose of the robot, and some of its more dangerous features, yet after these features had been determined to be non-lethal, they had decided that the robot was not intended to be used in an illegal matter, however, during this small period, the robot's creator was killed in a horrific car accident.
  
  The robot was claimed by the EPR, since there was no longer a person to return the machine to, electing to utilise the tinkerer's invention to help them in their services, given its capabilities of such a calming and kind temperament. The robot seemed sombre for a brief period after being told of its creator's demise, yet showed no hostilities to the organisation, seeming to understand the circumstances and maintaining its programming.
• PHYSICAL
  Appearance:
  
  
  
  
  Weapons, Gadgets & Armor: As a tinkertech machine, the robot is fully capable of speech and movement and opposable fingers. The machine is surprisingly resilient due to its metal base, and was proven to be water-proof through testing, along with a seemingly infinite supply of energy through some sort of alien technology. The robot was given a more feminine appearance as it seemed more apt for its role in talking and persuading those around it. The robot also has an in-built hard-light shield capable of defending against ballistic weaponry that can expand to encompass both her and another person from a single direction, along with a wrist-built tranquilizer gun to deal with possible threats
  
  Items & Personal Belongings: None
  Skills & Abilities: Water-proof, persuasion, reading

Serana Wildes​

• Basics
• Personal
• Physical
• Fluff

• 
  Aliases: 'Angel on Ice' 'Snow Angel' 'Seraph'
  (First two are nicknames in her skating career. 'Seraph' will be her superhero name)
  
  Age: 21
  
  Gender: Female
  
  Organization: Undetermined. At the moment, Serena would accept help from anyone who offered it and seemed to know what they were doing, making her allegiance undecided.
  
• 
  Sexuality: Asexual lesbian
  
  Personality: She’s asocial and doesn't have many friends, but those that she does have (such as her brother,) are very close. Serana is a very honest person. Not the kind of ‘brutal honesty,’ but in that she’s just very very bad at lying. She does, however like helping people. Serana will promote charities and fundraising campaigns, and also just helps out around in the short term where she can. She feels like she owes it to other people. Ice skating, however, is her own personal pleasure.
  
  Backstory: Serana was the child of two well-off people who lived in a suburban community, with an older brother who was a very good sibling, as far as older brothers go. She used to play video games with her brother often, and she took gymnastics and ballet classes. A few years later, Serana wanted to try her hand at ice skating, and after going to college for a humble arts degree, took it up professionally and moved to the city, the same one in which her brother worked as a paramedic. She hasn’t reached the ‘olympic competitor’ tier yet, and she’s at the point where she would, of course, bet thrilled if she could, but wouldn’t consider it devastating if, by the end of her career, she never managed to.
  
  Cape Type: Natural
  
  Trigger Event: After a competition, while Serana went to leave, she was approached in the near-empty lobby by an alarming man, yelling at her about having stolen second place from one of her competitors, who was his favorite skater. She politely tried to leave, but he only became more aggressive and punched her in the face, breaking her nose. She retaliated by pepper spraying him, after which he pulled a pocketknife, stabbed her in the arm, and choke slammed her into a wall, which concussed and knocked her out. Security then arrived at the call of the few other people in the lobby, called Serana an ambulance and had the man arrested.
  
• 
  Appearance: Strawberry Blonde, shoulder-blade length hair and pale blue eyes, with somewhat pale skin. She’s about 5’ 8” and halfway between thin and toned. Her casual outfits are mostly pastel colours, purples, blues, pinks, oranges, those are her favorites. She likes sweaters and leggings, ¾ sleeve graphic tees, and can totally rock leg warmers. She's a big fan of tennis shoes. Her performance outfits are usually in either rosy pinks or icy blues and gradients, accented with sharp whites and blacks, and no glitter. Sometimes sheer half-skirts. She only wears makeup for performances, and they generally adhere to the same aesthetic of the outfit. Serana usually has a hand in designing her performance outfits.
  
  Weapons, Gadgets & Armor: Shock-absorbing spring-boots… they only work if she lands on her feet.
  
  Items & Personal Belongings: A nice one bed one bath apartment in the downtown of the city, with a big window in the main room that leads out to a shallow balcony. Serana keeps an extensive first-aid kit in her bathroom. She eats a good living from competitions, but nothing lavish. She has a brother who works at the local hospital, and if she ever needs serious treatment, he helps her keep it off the news.
  Serana keeps a few of her old skating outfits from years past that she doesn’t use out on the ice anymore.
  
  Her skates are white with pastel rainbow laces, and she has sparkly rainbow blade guards for them. Do not touch her ice skates. Do Not.
  
  Skills & Abilities: As a child, Serana took gymnastics and ballet classes, the skills of which she retains. Even though back-hand-springs and similar things weren't really made for combat, but she’s quite good at improvising on the fly. Just as well, ice skate blades aren’t knife-sharp, but it’s still going to do considerable damage if you kick someone with it. Serana is also quite a bit stronger than people take her for, and has recently taken a class on handling firearms. She is not certified in first aid, but knows quite a bit about it from her brother. Being an ice skater, she has a quite decent tolerance for pain, usually borne from stupidly ignoring injuries during performances.
  
  Superpowers:
  
  Spoiler: Escapist

  Escapist - Mover 6, Brute 3, Striker 3 (Thinker 3)
  
  Escapist - primary effect
  
  The host's brain is on the receiving end of a constant precognitive broadcast, informing them of the next action that has to be undertaken in order to avoid an attack from an enemy. This combines with an enhanced ability to skillfully evade attacks by reading body language and an inherent aptitude with gymnastics to create the primary effect.
  
  In short, it makes it next to impossible to hit the host with an attack, be it with a punch, a kick, a melee weapon, or a ranged weapon, as when the host is about to receive such an attack, they become precognitively aware of how to avoid it.
  
  In other words, this is the Spider-Sense.
  
  Some attacks, for example, when several people are shooting guns at the host simultaneously, can be too complex to dodge or avoid.
  
  Springloaded Limbs - secondary effect
  
  The host's limbs are capable of suddenly discharging kinetic energy, but only on contact with a surface. The kinetic charge is worth around fifty kilojoules, however, instead of behind absorbed into the material, it bypasses the laws of inertia and changes to uniform mass to allow the full physical transition.
  
  Or in human words, the host can jump up to about six meters into the air or send people flying (nigh-harmlessly, unless they hit into spikes or a particularly hard wall,) with their punches or kicks; or kick entire desks across a room to hit someone without destroying the desk in question.
  
  In addition, the host has enhanced gymnastic prowess using this power, allowing for controlled leaps and usage of the power with greater skill and clarity.
  
  Manton Limit: Self, surface
  
  Lethality: This is one of the most "non-lethal" powers on the entire team.
  
  Data: Skill ++++++++++ (10) Kinetikinesis (6) ++++++ Fate ++++ (4)
  
  Weaknesses: Being an ice skater, Serana gains injuries like strains or sprains more frequently than the average person, mostly ankles and knees. She also has mild anxiety and has panic responses to angry yelling and being unaware about what is happening immediately around her. She’s not great at coordinating with other people and has difficulty trusting others in short term, intense situations.
  
• 
  Hobbies: Besides her career of skating, Serana also likes to play video games (primarily RPGs, but sometimes FPS games with stories. She mains healers, and her playstyle is generally ‘moving super fast makes it harder to hit me’), and likes to listen to music. Surprisingly, she likes videogame and movie soundtracks more than the classical and baroque skating programs are usually set to.
  
  Quote: 'Okay, I think pineapples are good, I think pizza is good, and I think pizza with pineapples is good. Can we move on? This interview wasn’t supposed to be about pizza or fruit in the first place.’
  
  Notes: Yes, the name is inspired by the Skyrim NPC. This character is not based on her in any other way. I just think it's a cool name.
  

 

[Lunar]

Basic Information

Name: Alexander Ayer
Aliases: Sin (or Heir)
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Organization: Villain

Personal

Sexuality: Straight
Personality: Alexander could be classified as a "Spoiled Rich Kid". His life has always been full of luxury and ease. He always gets what he wants, when he wants. This doesn't mean he isn't self-aware or dumb, however. Alexander is very manipulative and uses that particular skill to bend peoples will into doing what he wants. Though he can, at times, be compassionate, that is very rarely

he is very mature for his status. There is something he suffers from though; he has uncontrollable anger. It is much like a switch, one second he can be his usually civilized self, and the next he is a raging madman. Alexander would also consider himself to be quite a sadist, taking joy in others suffering, which sometimes conflicts with his "compassionate" side,


Backstory: Alexander was born and raised on his parent's estate. His family was extremely successful, he was the only child of Fredrick Ayer, world-renowned banker. His father owns one of the most successful banking ventures in the world, only the wealthiest and most important figures in the world have accounts in the Ayer Foundation. Because of this, Alexander grew up in luxury, though it wasn't a peaceful upbringing. His father would always belittle him and treat him poorly for seemingly no reason. Alexander believes it was because he wasn't living up to his father's expectations of what an "Ayer" boy was meant to be.

Alexander's mother died when he turned 11, her death was a mystery, however, she was relatively healthy and didn't have many enemies; but one morning she was found dead in her own bed. Alexander believes it was his father's doing. Even though he resented his father for the constant years of torment and because of his mother, he started working in his father's office at about the age of 17, even then his father never accepted him. He continued to work for his father for years until he turned 24.

At around that time, his father announced that his business partner, Trevor Leon, would be the heir to his business and his belongings. Alexander was enraged by this, and went to confront his father. He went into his father's study but noticed that he wasn't there. Alexander then decided to snoop around, he was never allowed in the study so his curiosity got the better of him. Upon opening a desk drawer, he found several polaroids of a woman's body in a shallow grave; it was his mother! (See Trigger Event for more)

Cape Type: Natural

Trigger Event: Alexander's discovery made him feel sick and angry, why did his father do this? His mother was the only one who treated him like an actual human, not like a dog. "Well well well, haven't you ever heard the saying, curiosity killed the cat...?" A voice called out from the doorway of the room; it was his father! Alexander looked afraid, but also enraged. "Why-" Alexander sputtered but was interrupted when his father ran over and viciously slapped him across the face, knocking Alexander to the ground.
"I told you never-" He kicked Alexander in the stomach. "to go into-" he kicked him again. "my study!" and with that, he kicked him one final time. The boy spat up blood and coughed as he slowly stood up. "Goddamnit boy!" Fredrick raised his hand once more to strike him but his fist was caught by Alexander's hand before making contact. "Oh father, don't you know it is a sin to use the lord's name in vain." Alexander replied with animosity in his voice. Suddenly, Alexander felt a sharp pain in his chest, causing him to let go of his father's fist. "Ack!" He fell to the ground, grabbing his chest as his father scoffed and walked to the other side of the room, picking up a sharp poker from the fireplace.
"Ha! Weak. You don't deserve to wear the Ayer name!" His father shouted as Alexander was writhing in pain. Fredrick made his way back to Alexander and hoised the poker up, ready to strike. "I should have killed you along with your mother." He said grimly. Alexander felt the pain and pressure build up in his chest until, finally, he felt a loud "POP" from deep inside of him. Just as this happened, Fredrick brought the poker down, towards Alexander's head but the boy quickly threw his hand in front of the sharp point; it pierced through his hand.
Alexander held the poker there, his hand started bleeding profusely but he didn't show any pain. He stood up slowly, feeling a newfound strength deep inside him. He then quickly grabbed a ceremonial dagger off of his father's desk, and plunged it deep into his heart. After his father fell to the ground, he pulled the dagger out of his body. Alexander then examined it; it was a ceremonial dagger, it bore the Ayer family's crest upon the hilt and the blade was slightly curved upwards. Alexander's thoughts were cut short as he felt another surge of pain in his chest, this time instead of falling, he toughed it out on his feet, and afterwards, he felt new and refreshed, and...different. Without a second thought, he gather what he could of his father's fortune and fled the estate.

  Name: Ezekiel Archimi
  Aliases: Spencer Williams, Paul Ebenheim, Ezekiel Williams
  Age: 22
  Gender: Male
  Organization: Neutral
  
• 
  PERSONAL
  Sexuality: Heterosexual
  Personality: Ezekiel isn’t so much an active person, he despises being too open and doesn’t enjoy the company of people who talk too much. This doesn’t mean he’s not social, if he has to talk and interact with someone, he’ll do his best to make a show of it. Ezekiel enjoys isolation, he’s learnt the values of being in isolation and making the best of what he’s got. Although he’s not especially active and doesn’t try to act like he is, Ezekiel is a determined man, once he sets his sights on something, he won’t give up easily.
  
  Ezekiel sometimes feels that he cannot love like others’ can, he can be attached to somebody emotionally and cry for them but he cannot love them passionately and with great pride. Love to him is difficult, he could spend the whole day adoring somebody and they could love him with all their heart but he wouldn’t have slightest sense of comfort around them. Love to him is a one-sided sword, one side is dull and the other sharp, he cannot feel the comfort and pride that is the dull side nor can he feel the risk and heartbreak that is the sharp side. Despite all this, he becomes attached to people, maybe it’s his way of loving someone.
  Backstory:
  Ezekiel was born and raised in Boston, his family wasn’t always the best, he was the first child and got everything it warranted. His life wasn’t miserable but it was hard to bear. There was supposed to be another child but they died along with Ezekiel’s mother during childbirth. This wasn’t a traumatizing event for Ezekiel, hell, he wasn’t too knowledgeable to know that his mother had just died and that he should be sad about it, he was only 4 after all. After his mother had died, his father came down pretty hard, he became miserable and abusive. His father basically just stayed home and yelled at Ezekiel whenever he got the chance, his job as a high staff worker was basically put on hold. His father as a source of income would just rely on the checks being sent and insurance.
  
  While growing up, Ezekiel went through some tough things; for almost most of the days, he’d be locked in his room as punishment for crying, his meals were also withheld as additional punishment for crying while being punished. While being locked in his room, Ezekiel grew to appreciate what he had, from children’s books to small toys that he could play with on occasion, it’s not like his father will be buying him anything anytime soon.
  
  As Ezekiel grew up and matured, he realized that the living conditions imposed on him wasn’t nice and after 10 years of suffering, he fought back. It was small, his father was yelling at him because he left his stuff out in the living room and before Ezekie knew it, he had a bottle of some strong alcohol thrown at him. It didn’t crack nor did it explode on him so Ezekiel without much thought bashed his father with the tough bottle. And from Ezekiel’s perspective, he had killed his father in cold blood, he sobbed and cried and screamed for somebody to help. In almost a minute, a neighbor came in with shock but also came in with a sense of relief. The neighbor asked if Ezekiel had done it, Ezekiel nodded with sorrow and began crying even harder, the neighbor had come up to him and reassured him.
  
  “Some people just deserve to die.” The neighbor said, Ezekiel could only nod in response as the neighbor stood up and carried Ezekiel’s father’s body to the kitchen. When the neighbor came out with the father’s body, it was bleeding excessively from the neck. The neighbor over the course of a few hours hid and buried the body.
  
  “Okay, what’s your name?” Ezekiel responded as anybody would; with his name. “You’re no longer Ezekiel, your name is Spencer now and you are now my son.” Ezekiel just nodded, there wasn’t much he could do anyway, plus it’d be better if he was his son, there wouldn’t be anymore abuse and he could finally be happy.
  
  Ezekiel, now Spencer, lived with his new father for 8 years before he decided to move out and live under his old first name, still keeping his new last name. Ezekiel Williams, now 22 years old and counting. He lives at 249 Atom Avenue W, and he works as a nurse at Dome Hospital.

  Journal Entry: December 24th
  She’s dead... Why is she dead? Why couldn’t it be me! The love of my life taken away from me in a heartbeat... You know what, I’m gonna find that guy, that stupid asshole who killed her, he should dead or atleast rotting in some cell.
  
  December 30th
  I have a lead, some rich guy living out in the countryside, it’s pretty solid so I’m at least like 75% sure it’s him... I guess I’ll be finding out at soon. The place I work at has a gun under the counter in case of emergencies, I’ll use that. If all goes well, maybe her soul will be at rest and she and I can rest easy without vengeance in our hearts. Time to go hunting.
  
  January 1st
  I killed him... oh man I killed him! Why’d I do it? Why the hell would I kill some guy? I’m stupid! Insane! Fuck! The guy wasn’t even nice and only drove me to kill him faster. While I held him at gunpoint, I asked him “Why?” and he responded with a sly remark. At least his house is in the middle of nowhere, that reassures me.
  
  January 2nd
  I spent the night at his house, I didn’t know what to do or how I should hide the body, I can’t just look up how to! It’d leave a trail that just screams murder! Okay okay, I’ll just bury the body like a mile away from his house, after that, I walk away like nothings happened and return to life, that’s what I’ll do. Yeah.
  
  January 3rd
  People over the course of human history have debated on the idea of morality, from intention to outcome. Because I killed somebody, does that make me a bad person? Or maybe because I avenged somebody by killing someone else makes me a good person? It really is intention against outcome. I wonder what the outcome would’ve been if I hadn’t killed him, would he have killed more innocent people? Would more die at his hands? In that case, I’d be a hero, a man of valor by putting a pause on future murders. I know I won’t be recognized as a hero, minimum a terrible person, maximum a criminal. Which I guess is what I am now...
  
  I have no idea whether or not the police will find the body, they might. I’ve got no idea if I’m even a suspect, I doubt it though, I’m in no way connected to him, there is nothing that links me with that despicable piece of shit. I guess I’ll be living easy for a while, no more burdens.
  
  Some people just deserve to die.
  
  January 4th
  Hey little rabbit, I know you aren’t here physically and your probably really upset with me right now because of a few days ago but, I just hope your doing well up there. Maybe you’ve even made some friends... I actually don’t know anything about the afterlife but it’s all good, I’m just hoping your happy. Okay I’ve got to leave for work soon, I love you!

  Powers:
  
  Spoiler: Tinker: (Chaos) x (Limit)

  Tinkertech - Tinker 7 (Specialty: Fortification Technology)
  
  Tinker - primary power
  
  The host is a Tinker, of the Chaos and Limit categories. As such, his works have two prevailing traits: (1) He has a specific field: [Fortification Technology] in which he specializes, and inside of which he builds much better, and (2) the host's builds are, usually, slightly different from the expected results, but are also stronger, and more efficient in materials and time from other tinkertech.
  
  Each of the host's creations requires regular maintenance, depending on the size of the build. Items which were damaged may require repairs before operating at full power.
  
  Tinker hosts of tinker shards use blueprints. There is no maximum limit to how many blueprints the host can retain. To build a device, the host must pay the cost in materials and data from their own pool.
  
  When beginning the construction of a device, the host enters a fugue state and the shard performs the tinkering according to their directions. The host understands the elements and meaning of each part of the device, and can explain, for instance: "yeah, this thing holds energy, and this thing condenses energy," or "I guess if this got hit hard enough, it'd blow up pretty rough," but cannot explain anything beyond that and cannot help reverse-engineer. In fact, any non-tinker attempting to copy tinkertech will fail automatically.
  
  Generally, the host will require some form of basic construction tools to perform their craft.
  
  Tinker Actions
  
  The following actions can be taken using this power: (Contact the GM in OOC for tinkering.)
  
  Build - Build a device from a known blueprint
  - Repurpose - Intentionally deviate from a blueprint's design when building
  - Refine - Spend additional materials, time, and data to produce a superior device
  - Rush Job - Spend fewer materials, time, and data to produce an inferior device
  
  Repair - Expend materials to repair or modify own device
  - Alter - While repairing, modify an existing device to serve a new function
  - Combine - While repairing, combine two previously built devices
  - Lock-In Data - Locks in the data into a tinkertech device to allow it to go for extremely long periods of time without maintenance and allow non-tinkers to use it effectively, but its effectiveness drops, usually by half
  
  Draft - Attempt to design a new blueprint
  
  Study - Study other's device to gain data
  - Disassemble - While studying, disassemble the device to gain materials
  
  Create Blueprint
  
  When creating a blueprint, describe the desired function of the device and assign it any amount of data desired from the Host Data Pool. If the goal fits within the shard's tinker specialty, it'll guarantee it as a result; if not, the result will try to fulfill the goal as best as possible. Building the blueprint costs the amount of assigned data, as well as materials described near the blueprint (an approximate cost in materials is included next to it.)
  
  Data from other tinker shards can be used in place, but they will add their specialties, which influences the resulting blueprint. Power data can be used in place of tinker data. Tinker data can be gained by studying other tinkertech, or directly from other tinkers.
  
  Due to the host's methodology of Chaos Tinker, he may randomly gain extra data from the shard.
  
  Host Data Pool - 5 saved data (Note: update this section as the GM directs.)

  Spoiler

  Specialty Blueprint - Durasteel Wall
  Armor, shield, wall, material, fortification, immobile
  
  This device is a wall with a chassis and frame with industrial-grade bolts, and will usually be built slightly slanted inward. The device has an extremely high durability. A two-inch thick wall of this material, if slanted, is unaffected by Stage 4 damage and only beginning to show even small dents at Stage 5 or above damage. Stage 5 damage causes this device to lose one point of durability, and anything above that can cause further loss.
  
  Durability: 40/40 (for square meter of a two-inch-thick wall)
  Repair Cost: $10 x point of Durability
  Repair Time: 1 minute x point of Durability
  
  Blueprint Data Value: Bastion 1 for every five square meters of a two-inch-thick wall
  
  Base Construction Cost: $25 x square meter of a two-inch-thick wall
  Base Construction Time: 5 minutes x square meter of a two-inch-thick wall
  Required Materials: Steel, industrial bolts (or)alternative materials.

  
  Auto-Turret
  Data: 20
  

  Spoiler

  Specialty Blueprint - Auto-Turret
  Turrets, defenses, immobile, point-defense
  
  This device is a head-sized globe of metal with a pair of circular red glassy openings growing from a pair of tubes to the side; one being a camera with a thermal function, imaging analyzer, and detection software, and the other being a red-dot laser sight, acting as a crosshair for the software.
  
  Upon creation, the host can link the auto-turret up to any computer and program specific behaviors into it, such as 'shoot anyone that passes through here except me,' or 'shoot anyone dressed in black,' and so on. The turret can be set to not kill, such as by aiming for less-lethal spots at all costs, or by equipping it with rubber rounds.
  
  The turret is equipped a high-caliber gas-operated short-stroke tappet, with a firing speed of 650-800 rounds per minute. It will typically shoot a small barrage of 20-40 rounds per hostile unless it determines the hostile isn't dead. Each round deals Stage 3 and 4 wounds, so an opponent without armor or Brute qualities will be obliterated at short range. The turret can detect targets at the range of 285 feet, but its accuracy begins to drop after the 100-foot mark and suffers heavily after crossing 200 feet.
  
  The host has to supply his own rounds (which costs $400 for 100 rounds, online,) for the Auto-Turret, or alternatively, he may craft two-hundred (200) standard rounds or rubber (less-lethal) rounds for 1 Bastion data, some copper/rubber, and gunpowder, or alternative materials.
  
  The device is immune to attacks up to Stage 2. Stage 3 attacks remove one point of Durability from the device, Stage 4 remove five points, and Stage 5 destroys the device instantly. The device is suscpetible to EMP.
  
  Durability: 15/15
  Repair Cost: $70 x point of Durability
  Repair Time: 10 minutes per point of Durability
  
  Blueprint Data Value: Bastion 20
  
  Base Construction Cost: $1,200 (can be lowered to $850 by using low-grade steel and removing the data disk, but this lowers performance and durability.)

  Kiteshield
  Data: 15
  

  Spoiler

  Blueprint - Kiteshield
  Defense, armor, mechanical, shield, weapon, handheld
  
  This device is an almond-shaped kiteshield, of a big enough size that it covers the wearer's forearm and fist. It has a second and third layer of armor that can unhitch and slide out from beneath like the parts of a telescope to cover a bigger square surface, which can be done by pressing a small plate next to the fist (can be done one-handed with minimum practice, even during combat,) but the extra plates have to be put back in manually with the help of the other hand.
  
  The shield protects from virtually any damage, no matter type or category, up to Stage 3. It confers extensive protection against Stage 4 injuries, fully nullifying all non-physical attacks, like energy, heat, cold, radiation, hard-radio, electricity, etc, but kinetic damage (physical hits, projectiles,) hitting at Stage 4 instead lower their damage to Stage 1. Stage 5 injuries are lowered to Stage 2 if kinetic and Stage 1 if any other. Any damage above Stage 5 (Stage 6, etc,) is lowered by three Stages.
  
  Acid and corrosive chemicals cannot damage the shield's durability, no matter what, and cannot damage the user either if they cover themselves from it using the shield.
  
  The shield has sharpened edges, fit for cutting-kinetic damage, and is constructed well-enough to deal Stage 2 and 3 slashing or 'stabbing' injuries on a good hit.
  
  It is strapped to the user's forearm and hand with leather straps.
  
  The shield loses 1 Durability with every time it absorbs Stage 4 damage. It loses 5 Durability with every time it absorbs Stage 5 damage, and 25 Durability with anything above that.
  
  Durability: 100/100
  Repair Cost: $1 x 2 points of Durability
  Repair Time: 10 seconds x point of Durability

  Spoiler

  Blueprint - Hard Powered Exosuit
  Armor, defense, material, powered
  
  This device is a bulky exoskeletal powered suit fitted for a human, layered with heavy plates of shiny gray durasteel armor. Each joint contains a powered servo, assisting movement and conferring a 2.15x strength boost to all actions.
  
  The suit weighs 100kg, slows down movement by 6.75% while worn, and has pressure-based movement, with a 0.21-second delay between limb movement and reaction from the suit; it feels a little bit clunky, but the increase in exerted force grants the wearer a tactility of endurance.
  
  The suit's durasteel plating confers full immunity to any kind of Stage 1 and 2 injuries; kinetic, thermal, energy, cold, chemical, etc, and is lined to absorb up to 750 rads of radiation, and disperses them without negative effects on the user within 1 hour or less. The suit has a very high general resistance to Stage 3 and 4 injuries; lowering both to Stage 1, and a kinetic immunity to Stage 3 damage. It lowers Stage 5 injuries to Stage 3, so it can literally save your life. The suit is environmentally sealed and protects from gas attacks.
  
  For each Stage 3 injury the suit helps defend against, it loses 1 Durability. For Stage 4, it loses 2 Durability, Stage 5 it loses 7 Durability. It breaks upon receiving anything that counts as being even more damaging than a Stage 5 injury.
  
  Durability: 60/60
  Repair Cost: $90 x point of Durability
  Repair Time: 50 minutes x point of Durability
  
  Blueprint Data Value: Bastion 20
  
  Base Construction Cost: $10,700
  Base Construction Time: 50 hours, 12 minutes
  Required Materials: High-grade industrial steel, bolting, leather straps, minor electronics, minor hydraulics, durable joint mechanisms (can be built from steel,) power generator of some sort (or) alternative materials.

  
  Manton Limit: Tinkertech
  
  Lethality: Fortifications may not seem lethal, but if you can lure someone to follow you into a trap with turrets, or even into your base, they are as good as fucked.

[Noble Scion]

Name: Alexandra Sienna
Aliases: Lupin, The wolf
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Organization: Rogue

PERSONAL
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Incredible amounts of self-esteem and a view of everyone else that likens them to children in her eyes. She is the top of the chain and refuses to believe otherwise. Smug and condescending wherever possible and believes only in personal gain, choosing what will benefit her the most whether it be helping others or sabotaging them. Doesn't care for age or appearance for anyone aside from herself and her own aesthetic. Despite their sense of superiority over everyone else, Lupin doesn't think she's perfect quite yet. Never talks criticisms on-board. Takes things going wrong with difficulty, but rarely loses her cool entirely. Has a tendency to boast and preen.

Backstory: The daughter of the creator of the famous Parahumans Online that receives income almost globally from each government in the hopes that the site will remain up in every region and receiving an incredible fortune on an almost monthly basis. Alexandra Sienna, the child of such a rich man and a mother that died at birth, received no attention from her father from the day she was born as he was always too 'preoccupied' with work, which consisted primarily of sympathising with parahumans and a lifetime in-front of a screen, chattering with whoever and whatever to help deal with the loss of his wife, leaving the daughter of a multi-billionaire to do as she pleased and choosing not to see her, viewing her as a constant reminder of who was gone.

She attended private schools and universities with a surprising amount of success and spent her life without any parental figures, which slowly developed into a coping mechanism of sheer narcissism. As she got older, she learned more and more that all she needed was herself, and lost all attachment to her father aside from his bank account. She had friends that glorified her every decision and followed her through life until one day, she simply decided she didn't need them anymore and finished with a masters degree in Mechanical engineering, having a particular fondness for technology that had blossomed throughout her life, and after that point, everything she ever wanted became hers. Four Ferrari's, a jetpack, two helicopters and a yacht? Bought within two seconds for her if she desired.

Eventually, her father died as a result of a meeting with some unhinged parahumans and the business, along with all of its assets, became Alexandra's, and with the money came a sense of longing for a true purpose. That purpose, Lady Sienna decided, was to lord her superiority over all others.

She purchased a high-tech suit from a shady group and nicknamed herself 'Lupin', of the wolf. Finding the name particularly appealing given that she'd always lived on her own, and set out to sate her lack of purpose by simply doing whatever she wanted in the spur of the moment. Whether she wanted to improve the company, rob four banks at once or invest into the black market, she was unsure, but if she wanted to, she could do anything, at least in her eyes.

Spoiler: Tinkertech BEM suit 1.0

Bionically-Enhanced Movement Suit - hardware (armor, powered) !Locked-In Data!

A tinkertech suit with an exoskeleton. Despite weighing a good 35kg, this suit does not impede the user's speed and reacts to all movements with only 0.05 seconds of delay, handling very smoothly at every joint. Due to its added weight, it makes knocking the user over or grappling them significantly more difficult.

The suit consumes power to allow for movement, which is generated by a non-tinker addon. Failure of this device confers a significant movement and strength penalty.

The exoskeleton is seamless and hidden well underneath the clothing, giving the impression that the user isn't wearing power armor. It improves the user's strength by a factor of 2.5x and protects from Stage 1 Wounds. Stage 2 and 3 Wounds are reduced to Stage 1, and Stage 4 and Stage 5 Wounds are reduced to Stage 2. The suit has an inbuilt temperature regulation and several vent systems for waste heat. It also provides resistance to heat and cold attacks up to Stage 2, and electric attacks up to Stage 2.

The suit loses 1 Durability for each Stage 4 wound it helps protect, and 25 Durability for each Stage 5 wound it helps to protect; the suit was built to last and take a beating before needing repairs, a high-quality work, through and through.

The suit is insulated against EMP.

Imaging Antennae - addon (electric, imaging, thermal imaging)

The suit contains an antennae attachment atop the head which sends out a pulse of electromagnetic waves every decisecond and which come back as images of the environments they reach, with a thermal vision mode.

The antennae actively pick up a secure video feed from the nearest satellite, showing a radius surrounding the user, modifiable to be as small as 60 to 600 feet. In addition, the antennae can hijack radio frequencies to spy on chatter in the area.

  Organization:
  Rogue (hides her power and would rather not use it for heroics or evil)
• 
  
  
  
  Sexuality:
  Bisexual
  
  Personality:
  Bianca is known as a soft, sensitive girl with a heart of gold, who tries her best in most things she does. The girl is a very encouraging and optimistic person, even if she is a bit reserved, and can often be seen hanging around others and making sure everything is going well. She checks in with the ones she cares about often, and if they aren't feeling well, gives as much assistance as she is able. She is an extreme empath, and easily starts crying if something saddens or stresses her out enough. Her somewhat tentative actions might contradict the fact that she's an extrovert, but that's only because she gets her energy from other people. She adores them, its just hard for her to show it sometimes. Even so, she still remains warm towards others and extends that to even people she doesn't know.
  
  She is plenty generous and would willingly sacrifice something of her own than force someone else to sacrifice something. Arguments rarely occur with her, as her opinions are loose and she would rather agree than argue over something simple. Bianca doesn't give up when things are important though. If the affair is something more forgettable than important, she would easily give it up to avoid unnecessary conflict. Some say that these traits would define her as a pushover, but she much prefers the term 'easy to get along with' or agreeable. Her ability to work with others is unbelievably good, as she excels at seeing the team as part of herself or at setting the team's goals above her own. Naïve might be a word used to describe her, considering her ditzy nature, but her intuition is strong, and when something feels wrong to her, she is more cautious than thoughtless. And she is definitely not naïve when it comes to emotions, as its almost impossible to lie to her. She can find hidden intentions or emotions fairly easily, it just depends on whether or not she wants to act upon it. Other than that, though, her worldly knowledge is sorely lacking. This only heightens her interest in such things, however, and she tends to explore new ideas and items openly and with an insatiable curiosity.
  
  Backstory:
  Bianca's past isn't terribly complicated. She was born to two unprepared teenagers. However, she was put up for adoption nearly immediately, clearly signifying that her parents either didn't want her, or just couldn't handle a child. So, when she was inevitably adopted at a young age, her adoptive parents didn't know what to expect. They feared their possible inability to be competent parents, but despite this they tried their best to nurture her. However, their paranoia didn't fade as they stumbled through parenthood. They tried to limit her contact with the world as she was growing up, to try and keep her safe. She was home schooled by her mother, who was always kind but still feared for her general safety to a generally unpleasant world. Endbringers be damned, her mother was determined to give her child a good upbringing.
  
  Bianca's father, on the other hand, was often away on work. He was trying to support his family, after all. With this in mind, Bianca grew up with her father as her hero figure. Even with all of the heroes on TV, she appreciated her father's hard work in the world despite him being without powers. Thus, this became her mindset. Although she was definitely thankful for what big impacts the heroes made, the honest working man had to be appreciated too. Even without all the glitz and glamor of powers, the common man kept the world running normally. Normalcy was something she enjoyed, to be able to avoid being looked at as a freak. She aspired to avoid this.
  
  Recently, she moved out but still lives in the same city as her parents. She planned to go to college to become a pediatrician, but with recent events, she's been unable. She recently took up working on the Boardwalk, miraculously nabbing a job at a clothing store.

  Trigger Event:
  
  Spoiler

  It was a cold night in Brockton Bay. The cold was creeping up Bianca's unprotected arms, her breath a fog. She had underestimated how cold it might get that night, or how late she was going to be. She had done a bit of shopping with friends at the Boardwalk, mostly with the intention of hanging out. Most of her friends had already done their share, Bianca just wanted to get one last look before finally deciding to stop. They all left, leisurely making their way out of the boardwalk. However, one turn lead to another and they walked into the 'wrong' part of town. The Docks, a notoriously bad place to roam. Hurriedly, they turned back once they realized where they had stumbled. Lamentably, it was a bit too late. There were shouts nearby, increasingly hostile in tone. Bianca couldn't understand the words. Then, gunshots sounded.
  
  Bianca felt her stomach drop; then, all together, she and her friends ran in a panic. The shouting turned in their direction, which only bolstered Bianca and her friends on. First, there were bullets aimed haphazardly in their direction. Afterwards, there was the sound of an engine flaring to life. Bianca urged her friends into a few alleys, to try to throw them off their trail. The truck was already fast approaching them, however, and they had a disregard for obstacles lying in their way. Plowing through those same obstacles, they approached quicker than Bianca anticipated. Throwing herself into a side-road after her swifter friends, the truck turned sharply after her, nearly falling over from the movement.
  
  Her face had just hit the cement of the side-road when the truck came ripping through. The heavy tires of the truck tore into her right arm, embedding the shreds into the cracks in the road alongside the weeds and the grass. Her shoulder dislocated, pulled violent from the socket. Near her shoulder, her arm The heavy roar of the engine drowned out her own screams. Her body lurched in agony, pain vividly throbbing in every part of her body. She barely had the strength to look at her arm, but her mind was overtaken by an uncanny calm. Her mind worked to chug out some reason for it, working at a snail's pace. Why would she be calm when the pain was ripping through her, echoing the tires of just a few moments ago?
  
  Ah, yes. Of course. There was nothing to worry about. It was a temporary pain. Her arm could be fixed, of course. Staring at the fleshy remains of her still-bleeding arm, her mind still reached the same conclusion. Fixable. Yes, fixable. This pile of shredded meat was fixable. Heroes got hurt all the time like this, and they came out okay. She may not have powers, but she could still be fixed. People were compassionate. They would care for her. Even with her arm, logically, appearing beyond repair, she would be fixed. She was an exception to everyone else. She would be treated special, she was an exception. Her arm would be repaired, had to be. The muscles would be un-mushed, bones unfractured. Definitely, even though she also knew at the same time such procedures were impossible. She would be a miracle…
  
  Her eyes slowly drifted up towards her friends, who appeared out of sync in her vision. There were two of each of them, supposedly, but all had the same look. Fear, shame, disappointment. Disappointed because her arm was mush? Were they afraid to know her now? She was some freak with a screwed up arm. The looks of defeat were answer enough. They would not help her, they would abandon her quickly. They did not want to die. They managed to stay out of the truck's path once, they did not want to end up like her.
  
  Her mind struggled to think, but it continued struggling anyway. Tenaciously, despite it only making things worse. Her friends were leaving her now, glancing frequently between her and her crushed arm as if to reassure themselves that her fate was sealed. They fled quickly. The truck must have seen them, as the distant roar of the engine suddenly got closer again. The drivers must not have noticed her when she got hit.
  
  Bianca felt sudden anxiety upon thinking about her paradoxical ideas. She was the exception, her arm would get repaired, when it was mush… Somehow, it was this anxiety, the delusional contradictory reasoning, that actually made her trigger. Her mental pain and physical pain blurred into one strange delusion, the threat of becoming a freak pushing her over the edge.

Their entire body is hairless, including the head, and the face becomes a flat expanse of skin, with nooks where the eyes and mouth should be, and a small peak where the nose should be. Despite being effectively eyeless, noseless, mouthless, and earless, the host doesn't lose any of the associated senses, except for taste.
  
  The host's voice in this state can be compared to the buzzing of a swarm of insects, or a "demonic cacophony of noises," layering into each other, as if a thousand voices were speaking at once.
  
  Henceforth, this body will be referred to as the 'Default Form.'
  
  Freakshow - primary effect
  
  At will, the host's Default Form grows a second, composite body over itself, composed of fat tissue, muscle fibers, cells, skin of natural color and hair of any color. Their vocal cords alter themselves to any pitch, tone, and timbre the host chooses, and eyeballs, nostrils, mouth, and ears emerge, in any shape the user decides, and in the eyes' case, any color. The host grows traits and genitals of the associated gender in this state.
  
  The host can grow organic implements which mimic synthetic implements. Things like clothing, or even simple items like keys can be produced this way, and without chemical analysis, they appear to be normal objects. If these objects are taken away from the host's body, they will begin to "die" in three minutes. Two hours after that, they will produce a smell reminiscent of rotting flesh, and six hours later, they will wither into a dry husk. In a full day, the object degrades into powder. This may be used to produce counterfeit dollar bills, though obviously they don't last long.
  
  The host can assume their exact pre-Trigger form with extreme ease, like breathing or blinking. When maintaining this body, the host is capable of sexual procreation, eating, drinking, becoming inebriated, and even having offspring, for as long as they maintain their pre-Trigger form. If the host drops their pre-Trigger form for another during pregnancy, the baby will be displaced into the shard dimension and provided nutrients and care for there, for as long as the host is holding another form, to the upper limit of three days. The host is aware of this on a weirdly conscious level.
  
  The host can perfectly copy any person they have seen, but only to the extent of their information. If provided with a facial photo, they can only copy the face. If given a voice, they can copy only the voice. If they see the person themselves, the host can copy everything, up to and including body language, mannerisms, and vocabulary, which is provided by the secondary effect (read below.)
  
  Any form of genetic testing or blood testing will show that the host isn't who they look like and reveal the facade, unless the host can somehow obtain that information, like in the secondary effect (read below.)
  
  If the host receives a Stage 2 injury or above, their fake body is torn away, to reveal their Default Form. They cannot assume any body other than the Default Form after that for a span of two minutes, and once they do, their assumed form has a random number of flaws equivalent to the size of the injury. This effect stays with them for as long as they are injured, unless the injury drops to Stage 1.
  
  If the host dispels this effect, their fake skin sinks into their Default Form like water into earth.
  
  Circus Make-Up - secondary effect
  
  The host gains a Thinker ability, which they can use for up to a full, run-on two hours daily, after which they get progressively debilitating headaches, comparable to a 'bad migraine' at the three-hour mark, and agonizing pain after four hours. The host will lose consciousness from pain after five hours of continuous usage. The best way to use it would be in short bursts, but that does not remove the time limit, only spreads it across a longer timeline.
  
  As long as the Thinker ability is active, the host will be provided with perfect knowledge of the mannerisms, body language, and vocabulary of the target they are copying, limited to their own impression and knowledge of the target. The mimicry borders on being perfect and will fool even good friends or family members who see the target on a daily basis, but the host will not gain any knowledge about the target that they, themselves haven't discovered, so a "I will ask you each a question, a question to which only the real X knows!" test will accurately prove the host to be the fake.
  
  In addition, if the host can find tissue from the target they are copying and eat it (or, if in the Default Form, stick it on their skin,) they can perfectly mimic its genetic makeup during any future transformations.
  
  Laughing Clown - minor effect
  
  The host heals their wounds at 2.5x the speed of a baseline human and bleeds out at 0.75x the speed. The host still feels pain, but they are less mentally influenced and 'scared' by it and can ignore its effects slightly more.
  
  It's Me - minor effect
  
  The host has a permanent, subtle Master/Stranger effect. It increases people's trust toward them, and their belief in the host's fake disguise, by roughly 12% average. This does not work on Master and Thinker parahumans.
  
  Noctis Cape - special effect
  
  A relatively rare side-effect of the parahuman condition, appearing in less than three percent parahumans. It removes the physical and mental need to sleep, but the host can still sleep if they desire it. Its causes are unknown.
  
  Manton Limit: Self, organic tissue, human.
  
  Lethality: Not lethal, but can help you gain people's trust, so you stab them in the back when they least expect it.
  
  Data: Polytomy ++++++++++ ++++++++++ ++++++++++ ++++++++++ (40)
  
  Polytomy: "A shard specializing in the area of infiltration, espionage, acting, and social-oriented stealth. Very experienced and sophisticated in its specialty."
  
  Weaknesses:
  - Very sensitive
  - Overly pacifistic
  - Tentative
  - Naïve
  - Too forgiving
  - Easily stressed

WIP

BASIC INFORMATION
Name: Natalya Mayers

Aliases: (Other names, titles, nicknames, and aliases.)

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Organization: Protectorate

PERSONAL
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Ever since her sister died 3 years ago when Leviathan attacked Brockton Bay, Natalya has never been the same. While she has long since moved on from that dark place she had sunk into when her sister had died, Natalya had never quite recovered from it. Her once cheerful outlook on life has since changed, the death of a person’s loved one tends to do that. In an effort to prevent further heartache and grief, Natalya tries to make as few connections with others as possible, wanting to remain as emotionally detached as possible. However, despite this, Natalya couldn’t help but feel alone and lost.

Despite her complicated feelings, Natalya drive to help as much as she is able. A contrary to her desire to remain detached, but the act of helping others was one of the traits she so admired in her beloved sister, and she believes that she would want her to help others as well. Helping others has also been a sort of coping mechanism for her, and to her it is also a way to honor her sister’s memory. One thing that is clear to her however, is her hatred for the beings known as Endbringers. A hatred so intense that she was willing to throw her humanity away just for a chance, for a sliver of opportunity, to hurt them as they had hurt her.

Backstory: Before that fateful day, the day everything changed for her, Natalya had been living a decent life. She grew up being well provided for, maybe not lavishly or extravagantly, but she never wanted for much. Her parents died when she was just an adolescent, being one of the many unfortunate victims of a villain attack. Ever since then her sister, 8 years her senior, had raised her practically on her own. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you looked at things, her parents had a trust fund ready just in case something unfortunate had happened to them, not to mention insurance money the two have received. Who knew investing in a Cape-related Death Insurance would have paid off?

Using the money, Natalya and her sister lived a decent life. Her sister decided to use a portion of the money in order to open up a little Auto repair shop, her sister has always been quite a mechanic. Natalya would even jokingly tease her sister that she may have been a Tinker, which her sister would just laugh off. They were happy and content, but one day, Leviathan arrived at Brockton City. Countless people died that day, civilians, villains, heroes, the monstrous nighmare did not descriminate. And Natalya’s sister had been one of the casualties. Grief and sorrow first assaulted her, night after night she spent crying herself awake and crying herself to sleep. Then came apathy, the morbid numbness and uncaring she felt in those following days were some of her worst memories. She even pondered killing herself, that way she’d no longer be alone and she’d be together with her sister again. She almost followed through with it, but she just couldn’t do it. Not out of fear of death or the moral repercussions of killing herself. No, Natalya refused to die before she managed to hurt the bastard that took her sister from her.

Driven by anger and hatred, Natalya scoured for a way to do so. She’d once heard of a rumor about someone receiving ‘powers’ in a bottle. It was a stupid story, likely an urban legend or a silly fantasy some bored people had came up with, but Natalya didn’t care. She’d exhausted all resources available to her, driving her to the brink of financial, mental, and even physical breakdown, and just when all hopes seemed lost, they finally replied.

Cape Type: Cauldron Cape


PHYSICAL
Appearance:

Weapons, Gadgets & Armor:

Items & Personal Belongings: (Any other items that the character has, or belong to them. Include things like access to resources, finances, etc.)

Skills & Abilities: (Not superpowered. Include things like knowledge of martial arts or the ability to handle weapons.)

Powers:

Spoiler: Cauldron Power: Starburst Beryl

Starburst Beryl - Blaster 7, Shaker 4

Starsaw - primary effect

The host can shoot out rotating verdant-green projectiles that float, or 'hover' that act like air hockey disks, floating two to five feet above the ground and rapidly changing altitude. These projectiles look like glowing, green, five-pointed, almost cartoony stars, and are roughly the size of a frisbee.

They reflect off of walls and objects they encounter without losing speed and slide around in the air as if it were ice, at a brisk pace of 15kph, but the host can speed them up to 100kph, controlling their air velocity freely. The stars do not stop moving, unless the host consciously orders them to. The stars can also start suddenly moving in the opposite direction at the host's will.

At the host's will, the green stars will begin to rotate at high speeds and deploy an energy blade at each startip, each having a length of one (1) meter. The stars effectively turn into buzzsaws, cutting anything that comes in contact. If they impact an object of any kind, they will violently fly off in a random direction at high speed, reflecting off of walls and indiscriminately cutting into anything they hit. An impact with a star deals mixed Stage 2 to Stage 3 cutting/blunt injuries.

The limit of stars that can be maintained at once is ten. A star can be dispelled at any moment.

By selectively shooting out, activating, and dispelling stars, the host can achieve the effects a simple Blaster power.

Starburst - secondary effect

After having their energy blades deployed, the stars can be made to stop, then pop like a bubble, with their blades remaining in place. Afterwards, the host may indicate a single target and all active blades floating in midair will aim at that target and fire at speed approaching that of an arrow fired from a bow, and dealing Stage 2 to Stage 3 impalement damage, depending on where the attack hits.

Manton Limit: Aim, target

Lethality: An active star deals Stage 2 wounds. Enough impacts with one of these and there can be enough bleeding and bruising to cause death.

Data: Emerald ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ ‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡ (20)

Emerald: "This is a dead shard, and its data lacks conscious design or organization. Specializes in giving solidity and force to microwave and radio waves and applying conflict conditions to them."

Weaknesses: (Weak sides of a character. Fears, inabilities, inexperience, emotional issues, mental issues, etc. Only ones that could be said to negatively affect the character.)

FLUFF (Optional)
Hobbies: (What does the dark lord do in his free time, when not vying for supremacy over the world?)

  NAMEx princess i. perkins

  NICKNAMEx perks, pip

  ALIASx ANSWER

  GENDERx female

  AGEx probably early twenties

  HEIGHTx 4'9"

  WEIGHTx 138 lbs

  Yes, you can say it: she's a dwarf. And don't worry about pissing her off; her short and stout stature's the least of her concerns. It's the scars that are her problem. In particular, the large scar that spans from the top of her head to the tail end of her spinal cord. That's become the point of insecurity with her body. Fortunately, it's the only insecurity, because other than that, she loves herself. She loves her curly black hair, her dark brown eyes, her chubbiness, her light-brown skin and the sprinkle of freckles on it, everything. And she absolutely loves prettying herself up on top of that. all in all, she's a woman who takes care of her appearance.
• As far as she’s concerned, she’s a princess, and no one can tell her otherwise. Granted, no one could even get the chance because they likely won’t find out about her perception on things, given that she isn’t likely to speak up about that. Or speak up at all. And it’s not that she’s a quiet person by nature because once she hears something relevant to herself, she’ll be a talkative mess; she’s just not used to people yet, but she’s getting there, and she is actively working on it. In fact, she’s working on a whole lot of things other than that, like her problem with people raising their hands near her and sharp objects directed at her. She’s always working hard at something, really, because she knows she’s still recovering.
  

  FORTUNATE THINGS ABOUT HER

  ▸ a social person. by nature, she's an extrovery and enjoys learning about others and their company
  ▸ incredibly resolute; once she's got a goal, she's going for that gd goal
  ▸ stupidly lucky. her intuition is often right on the mark, and her trust in herself makes her decisive.

  UNFORTUNATE THINGS ABOUT HER

  ▸ not socially-oriented. it's not a good thing, especially since she gets lonely really quickly.
  ▸ she's not book-smart and has really bad memory. she'd be lost if she didn't have the habit of writing everything down.
  ▸ emotions are always felt intensely and she can't really manage her objectivity most of the time. she acts in the moment and when the result is bad, her emotions and mental state suffer dearly.
  ▸ sometimes, she asks for too much help and direction that it's a bit overwhelming and annoying. she knows this, but isn't really sure how to go about with regulating or fixing this habit of hers.

  /*luck*/

  RANK

  ▸ she's one of the scouts, and while she may not be the smartest or the fastest of them, she's one hell of an escapist because of her intuition, her unlimited air supply and her broken luck.
  ▸ (very) ocassionally, she moonlights as one of n.i.c.e's resident assassin, but the times she does are very few and far in between. she's hoping to learn the ropes with that from some of the seniors in the assassin and infiltration division and eventually move to either divisions.

  SKILLS

  ▸ she can run for days and is pretty good at finding vantage points; all in all, she does her job as a scout well enough. the problem is when she encounters a hiccup or a problem. chances are, she'll immediately default to kill rather than incapacitate, which then leads to the problem of having to clean off her traces and prints and everything.
  ▸ quick with the knife. perhaps a bit too quick.
  ▸ her broken-ass luck.
  ▸ sewing.

  POWERS

  ▸ she's not exactly sure how it works, but after searching it up, the thing that she likely has is something similar to a bird's hollow bones. apparently, her bones are pneumatised, which gives her a lot of air flow and stuff. so, theoretically speaking, she could probably hold a single note for hours upon hours on end if she tries.
  ▸ she probably has other dormat enhancements that she hasn't really understood yet, but they're currently irrelevant to her.

  WEAPONS

  ▸ mostly just a military-grade knife and a taser to go along with it. recently, she's started learning her way with a gun and she's excited to using one when she's back in the field.

  TRIVIA

  ▸ she's highly superstitious, and therefore believes in the existence of ghosts and the supernatural. in fact, she's seen quite a fair number already. at least, she claims to.
  ▸ she came from an impoverished family, and naturally knows her way around a home from the years she spent caring for her younger siblings during their mother's absences. from time to time, she thinks about them and thinks about visiting them, but always decides against it, given her current position.

[Loki The Trickster]

BASIC INFORMATION
Name: María Moreno
Aliases: Martinet María, La Chica María, Moreno, Brown-Hair
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Organization: Independent

PERSONAL
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: To cut a long story short, María Morena is the girl next door from the ghetto. She likes short walks to the bank because she didn't have much--if anything at all--growing up. Ever since the hospitalisation of her older brother, who she (to a fault) is loyal to, she has taken on a habit of losing herself in vigilante justice, bitter caipirinhas and meaningless sex.
Backstory: Growing up in a shanty slum, María Morena was no stranger to an empty stomach or the burst of BANG BANG BANG in the distance. With no father--only a mother whose mental faculties waned by the week--María and her brother had to fend for themselves. The world didn't care for their ages. Her brother, Mateo, was the man of the house and the man their father never was, even in spite of only being a boy, and won bread for the table. She always wondered how.

Cape Type: Natural
Trigger Event: When they were in their early twenties, María found out how. She discovered Mateo's stash of drugs, guns and blood money. She confronted him and came to learn that he was heavily involved in gang activity. She was conflicted. She couldn't tell him to stop because this was what was paying for everything, including her tuition fees. // She was stressed and this is what caused her to fail one of her papers, which led to her feeling inadequate and incompetent--a person without control. She was an outsider looking in--but this was HER life. She was like a movie critic at the premiere of her own autobiographical. She thought about whether or not she should tell their mother. She decided against it because it wouldn't be good for her mentally. Hell, it wasn't good for her mentally. From then on, María stopped thinking about it. Nothing good came from thinking about it. // She turned a blind eye to everything her brother did, even when it escalated. Later on down the line, Mateo was caught and cast into the criminal justice system. She visited him for years--as often as they'd allow. Shortly after Mateo was released, he was the victim of a drive-by shooting. Fortunately, he survived. // Unfortunately, he's in hospital on life support. She has heard word of a back-alley doctor in her hospital's halls--but this parahuman healer is far from cheap. With her salary as a doctor not enough to cover the costs, María has turned to crime fighting for finance. She understands, however, that there's a fine line between vigilante justice and the same criminality her brother got himself into.

PHYSICAL
