Tiffany Korta

Revenant gave a sly smile “Rat’s don’t bother me, and I’d like to see a gator try and chew on me. I’d probably give it indigestion.†She looked at her boots, who seemed to have been surviving quite well; maybe they’ll survive this little encounter. Still they still had to find this guy. “Yeah the side tunnel seems a better bet. I’m no expert but it seems to funnel people towards him, so we better be careful.†She shrugged “Well a little more careful than we have been so far.†She had a quick look around she wasn’t sure but something seemed a little off, but she just couldn’t place it…

She turned and looked up at the man fixing him a confused look with her coal black eyes. Her eyes damn it; she had meant to buy those contacts but had been those boots… “Oh I’m sorry sir. “ she rummaged in her purse and slipped on her borrowed sunglasses. To calm her nerves she down the glass of wine in one gulp, it tasting to her like slightly flavoured water. “I’m sorry to seems a philistine, but all I see her are people. A lot of whom I know.†Fully recovered she gave a friendly smile “I hope I don’t offend your artistic senses.â€

Lucy stood uncomfortable and a little unconscious in the little black dress that had cost most of this month’s wages. After a month sleeping rough she made sure she spent time helping those who weren’t as lucky as her. Especially as she was aware that unlike them she didn’t feel hungry or the cold or the need for sleep. At the shelter she had met Francis taking photo of those helped by the nuns; she had been friendly and helpful to him but thought nothing more about it. So she was completely surprised when he personally gave an invitation to this gathering. Though last time she had been to a gathering color photography was rare and new and everyone was drinking bathtub gin…

She carefully stepped over the threshold into the darkened shop, she glanced around seeing that all the shelves were mostly empty, the only features of the store being the box itself and some kind of sculpture in the corner. Well that later first the box. The box almost hummed as she got near it, examining the intricate carving, some kind of noble woman she’d guessed, feeling some trepidation at the idea of touching the box. Unseen behind her Kapalini stopped confused unable to cross the threshold. “Magnificent isn’t it.†Said a voice from the back of the store.

Lucy continued on down the sewer tunnel for a few more minutes, lost in her own thoughts. Then a change in the ambient sounds bought her back to the present. She chastised herself for not paying attention, a sure way of getting them all in trouble. The flow of water had changed suggesting that ahead of them another tunnel seems to join onto the main passage they were travelling down. The flow of water She turned, remembering to lower the torch and addressed the rest of them. “Up ahead it looks like another tunnel, any idea which way we go?â€

I'm not quite as handy as Supercape, but if you'll have me I'd like to volunteer Revenant.

After some thought I've decided to go in a direction that just happens to be in line with Supercapes idea's. I'm going to cut it down for simplicity but here's the background bit of the history.

Beyond the door was a rather old looking store, well old compared to the modern glass and plastic modern stores to her this was the kind of store she remembered for her youth. But that wasn’t what draw her attention, on the counter ahead of her was an intercity carved wooden box. The wood was slightly red carved with intricate detail in that distinctive Indian style. And it seemed to hum with power, a lot of power. “That it isn’t it, the treasure you gave away. What is it exactly?†Here voice had that reverent tone “The Janma Kosa.â€

Any thoughts of further questions were cut short by a quick hose down and a scrub by the team of decontamination officers. So this is the future! Cleaner than she’d been in day’s and safe from whatever harm the radiation could do, she stood and watched feeling a little proud with herself as Heavy Metal was lowered down to them. “That was great, thank you.†She gave a friendly smile at the luckless operator. She then shot the other two heroes a look. “So, exactly what should we do with him now? This is actually my first villain…â€

Revenant carefully pick through the flotsam and jetsam of the sewer tunnel. Taking the King of Suits word to heart she bit down on any comments and concentrated on the sound of the tunnel. Nothing except their own footsteps, and the sound of rats scurrying in the walls. She was still blown away that they were all so use to being the hero, whilst she was still struggling to get a handle on all that this entailed. But she was in the lead and didn’t want either of them to get hurt so she pretended to know exactly what she was doing.

Yeah I meant rebellion as "This is wrong it needs to be changed" rather than "This sucks tear it all down." And I think quick change is a better than morph and less of a pain.

My best is just shy of your roll so we don't see you.

It large glass windows never showed any good, and she could never remember them broken despite a lot of kid with stones. It was never open and she never knew what is sold. But yet the old store looked just how it did all those years ago. “The item we seek is in this building.†Kapalini’s voice was a matter of fact. Lucy look thoughtful “Yes, but we can’t break in it’s…†Kapalini walked up to the door and swept her hand, there was an audible click. “But the owner seems to have left the door unlocked†at this she actually smiled. As she stood there staring at the shop, the ten year old in her was daring her to enter the place.

It didn’t take long for Revenant to make up her mind. “Okay let go Kapalini.†Without saying a word Kapalini swept past and started walking down the street. Wordlessly Revenant fell into step following the strange creature down the streets of the West End. She wasn’t sure who lived in the area now, but when she was growing up it was where most of the Eastern Europeans lived. She smiled at the thought she could still swear in half a dozen European languages. And a small part of her childhood still stood the shop.

Right I assumed PLOT! related scenery . I'm pretty sure that real reactors have these, if not I'll edit my post or they can just say no.

It all happened so quickly, Wisp bopped him a good strike on the nose then she was somewhere else. People were generally milling around looking confused. Lucy may have missed the last 80 years but she wasn’t that slow on the uptake. The next task was to get Heavy Metal out of the, what did they call it, the Reactor Core? She raised her voice, not wanting to touch anyone just in case. “Hello all, can I have your attention. Those track on the roof of the chamber, are they some kind of crane mechanism. If so how much can it lift, and can we control it remotely?â€

You know good points as always. I think I put a little to much attention on the aspects, dressing them up and all at the expense of the character. I'm quite happy to sideline them into just voice in her head or maybe a Garden of Memory. The best reason for her being here is some form of obligation, either school or business. I like the idea of her as a 20 something serious business woman dealing with this little voice of rebellion in her head. Let me know what you think before I make any changes, if the character just isn't going to work them I'm happy(ish) to walk away and try something else. Though I really would like it to work.

“Oh sports analogies. Personally I’m a team sports kind of girl. As my father use to say Cricket is best, but Baseball will do in a pinch.†a sad look passed across her face and she was glad for the darkness “And for a team to work well the fielders need to know what the pitcher is about do. Or to put it another, non-sport way, you Co-council need to know your strategy so there questions don’t ruin your defence.†A slight pause then she spoke again. “But your right, it never hurts to be a little cautious Mala Suerte. You can be are secret hitter.†She turned and flashed him a little smile.

Ms. Britannia Player Name: Tiffany Korta Power Level: 11/12 (182/199 PP) Trade-Offs: none Unspent PP: 17 In Brief: The merger of a young woman and the Spirit of Justice. Alternate Identity: Agnus Stone (real name), Annice Avebury / Annice Stone (stage names), Young Britannia Identity: Secret Birthplace: Glastonbury, Somerset, England, United Kingdom Occupation: Businesswoman, Pop Star Affiliations: Vanguard aka Team UK Family: Geri Stone (Mother), Winston Stone (Father) Description: Age: 24 (DoB: July 24th 1991) Gender: Female Ethnicity: Mixed (Caucasian / Afro-Caribbean) Height: 6'0" Weight: 165 lbs Eyes: Brown Hair: Brown Agnes is the type of person who tends to stick in the memory whether it's from large hair, her strong North London accent or her general friendly confident demeanour. She also a naturally cheerful person and her face is almost always lit up by one of her smiles Agnes is cursed, as she would put it, with a natural ability to look good in just about anything. When not in stage clothes, or doing business, she tends to dress in comfortable, practical clothes without much make-up. Since the full merging between herself and the Spirit she has also grown dramatically in height (she was originally 5'3") instead of downplaying this fact she tends to over emphasise the fact with large heeled shoes, normal platforms. Ms. Britannia is an extenuation of Agnes's natural charms. Lit up with an inner light she takes on a timeless quality she carries herself with a more regal bearing, whilst her voice is more commanding with a musical sing song tone. This could easy come across as superior and condescending, but Agnus's natural cheery demeanour softens this into a much friendlier attitude. Ms. Britannia's costume is a simple jumpsuit in blue emblazoned with the Union Jack. One bar of the cross runs down the middle whilst the other wraps around her waist. Her face is partially covered by an open mask similar to Britannia's. Power Descriptions: When in her Ms. Britannia form Agnes is bathed in an aura of bright white light, which tends to expand or contract depending on both her moods and the effort required for a task. When she using one of her light based abilities the energies tend to concentrate around that body part, so her hand when she's throwing blast or her around her legs when in flight. History: Unlike most Genius Loci the point when the so called Spirit of Justice came into existence can be pinpointed to a specific moment the 15th of June 1215, the day the Magna Carta was signed. Within this document were the principles of justice for all people regardless of status and social class. Apart from time of countrywide crisis when the she has been subsumed into Britannia, the spirit has empowered women down the ages to ensure that justice is served. Agnes Stone knew none of this; since she was young she'd always wanted to be a singer and she finally got her chance as a contestant on a talent show. At the tender age of eighteen she won the chance to launch a pop career. With a genuine powerful singing voice and a great stage presence she was marked for great things. And with a string of number one hit, in the UK, Annice seemed to be destined for a long and promising career. But the pressure of the career began to get the young star and her behaviour became more and more demanding just as her popularity began to fade. Hearing that she had been dropped by her label rather than just give up Agnes decided to make a direct appeal to the woman who had help discover her the pop guru Simmone Kowal. As she was about to pitch her plans for revitalizing her career another failed star took more direct approach bursting into the office with a loaded gun. Without a concern for her own safety she attempted to protect Simone and wrestle the gun from the assailant. In the struggle the gun went off grievously wounding Agnes. Whilst in a coma fighting for her life she was visited by a Spirit of Justice who gave her another chance at life, but that second chance would come with a price. She would have to serve the Spirit of Justice as her host, and whilst her body healed itself the Spirit would be in control of the body. Already feeling guilty over her actions of the last year, and wanting to make amends, Agnes agreed to the offer. Later that day a remarkably recovered Annice checked herself out of hospital and disappeared. For the next year reports came in from all over the United Kingdom of a strange woman who would turn up out of the blue to help people before disappearing again. Whilst descriptions of the woman and her costume always seemed to vary she always seemed to wear a combination of the colors of the Union Jack. One of the UK tabloids coined the name Young Britannia(s) to describe these women, and title which was rapidly adopted. After this year a much humbler and wiser Agnes returned home to try a rekindle her musical career, whilst beginning her hero career as the newly named Young Britannia. Her career got a boost when a hot young Freedom City producer not only offered her a chance to sing on one of his track but to also buy into his struggling Zenith Studio. Not only did their track do well, opening up new market for her music, she also proved a capable business woman as the studio begun to flourish. Regally commuting from the UK to Freedom City Agnes soon discovered that her transformation wasn't quite complete. The year spent under the Spirits control was conceived by her a ritual that allowed the two to combined in way that had rarely happened before. Not only did it allow her finer control of her power it also transformed her until her regular build was the same as that taken on as Young Britannia. The only downside was that prolonged absence from the United Kingdom seemed to sap her powers. Things look rosy for once with Young Britannia finding her place in both the United Kingdom and Freedom City, whilst Agnes has become a successful business woman on the verge of a new music career. But the shadow of what Annice had become before her fall still hangs over her like a Sword of Damocles. Personality & Motivation: Agnes has a cheerful upbeat personality, but also possesses a quick wit and a wicked sense of humour. She's also fairly laid back; it takes a lot to upset Agnes and she quick to forgive those who do harm against her. Her only true flaw is a tendency to speak her mind even when it would be better to keep her opinion to herself. At heart Agnes is a good person who whilst she can come over as a little condescending, wants to do what she can to help people. Part of her is afraid that if she loses sight of this she tip back into the selfish self-centred self from her worst excessive of her Annice days. Powers & Tactics: Not known as a tactical generous Young Britannia tends to go for simple dependable tactics. If possible she'll first blind an opponent before attacking them with bolt of light. All if possible from a distance. She can however adapt rapidly to differing situation and can at time quite creative with her power pushing them to do things they've never done before. Complications: Almost Famous: Whilst Annice was never a big star in the US there are a few who are aware of her song and could recognize her face. This is especially true in Freedom City where the success of her studio has attracted media attention. For Queen and Country: The Spirit of Justice has strong ties to Britannia and the United Kingdom as a whole. Whilst Agnes can travel freely around the world, if she stays away from the UK for too long her powers begin to fade. In the United States and other Commonwealth counties this is much as six months, whilst in countries hostile to the UK it can be a little as a few days. Secret identity: Despite the drastic change in height Agnes has still managed to keep her two identities separate.

Revenant

“Okay then let’s start again. My name is Revenant. Who and what are you, and how can I help?†if she helped she could make sure he got his body back. The spirit made flesh gave a little smile, guaranteed to get most men, and some women’s pulses racing. “I am Kapalini a Yakshini. I serve Kubera by guarding treasures hidden in the earth.†She sagged, for the first time looking like real woman. “I made a terrible error. I allowed a powerful and holy object to fall into the hand of a powerful Sorcerer. I followed him here to this strange city and now I must attempt to recover the object before I can return home.â€

Lucy was briefly taken aback, but not for long she had seen many strange things in this city over the last month. And from what she had heard she had missed the even weirder stuff. “A strange floating spirit tends to attract attention. What have you done with the previous occupant of that body?†This flawed the woman for a few second “Oh you mean the body. The spirit sleeps, she is unharmed. When I am done she will be rewarded handsomely.†“Actually I think it was a he...†she couldn’t help but smile at this, before regaining her composure. “What guarantee do I have that you’ll return the body?†“Then she is doubly blessed. You have my word. What else would you need?†This gave Lucy pause she remembered hearing somewhere that spirit have strange laws and customs that they must follow, though she hated to admit that she didn’t know enough to know from certain. If it came down to it she knew people who could possibly help. Really she had no choice but to take this on trust.

The spirit look exasperated at Lucy, before zipping of towards a nearby alleyway. The spirit actually reacted so quickly that Lucy had to run to catch up. And still it was too late. As she watch powerless to help the spirit had trapped some occupant of the alley. Lifting them into the air the spirit encircled the form causing them to shift and alter, this took only a few second and then standing there was the spirit made flesh. Taking a few tentative steps it stood in front of Revenant before speaking. “Now this is much better. Why exactly are you following me?â€

Whilst Lucy couldn’t see her face, she was pretty sure what was going in beneath that mask. It seems that men haven’t changed that much in the last 80 years. Still at least they're letting me go first. She fixed Mala Suerte a look and gave him a wry little smile “It’s okay I won’t tell anyone, it’ll be our little secret.†She gave a friendly little laugh “If it makes you feel any better, it’s not that I’m tougher. I just recover from injuries really fast.†She pauses and turned back to the path. “Let’s go find this worm.†Cautiously she started down the path, trusting the others to follow.
