  1. Introduction Who are you? Sum yourself up in one sentence. A woman cut adrift from her own time and thrust into the exciting 21st century. Do you have any nicknames, street names, titles, or nom de plume? Just Revenant. What is your full birth name? Lucy Isabella Harker. Where do you live? The streets of Freedom City. How old are you? What year were you born (if applicable)? I was born 114 years ago, physically I don't look a day over 30. Physical Traits What is your gender? If not applicable, please explain. Female. How would you describe your heritage? Both my parents were English, though I was born here in this city. How tall are you? 5’3†What is your body type? Lithe Do you have any particular weaknesses, such as allergies or physical disabilities? My body seems to keep itself in a perfect state. How do you carry yourself? Are you graceful, or heavy on your feet? Can you be stealthy, do you walk with confidence? I learned early in my career to carry myself with confidence, despite what’s going on around me. Describe your skin, eye, and hair color. My skin is deathly pale and cold to the touch. My eye once a rich brown are now a solid black. Only my hair is it original color, black. How do you wear your hair, if applicable? Do you have facial hair? Cut into a fashionable bob, well at least for my time. Do you consider yourself attractive? Do others? Others have commented that I look quite attractive, I'm not sure having spent many a year trying not to stand out to much. Do you have any scars, tattoos, piercings, or birthmarks? The only mark I now carry is a small dimple on my forehead where I was shot. Do you resemble anyone famous? I always thought I look a little like Louise Brooks. Do you have a dominant hand? Sinister I'm afraid. What kind of clothing do you wear? The only clothing I own is the suit I was killed in. Do you wear makeup? No What is your vocal range? Is your voice distinctive in some way? I'm quite capable of projecting my voice so that a whole courtroom can hear what I'm saying. Do you have any distinctive habits, nervous tics, or mannerisms? Where did they come from, and what causes them? Do other people notice and remark on these habits? Do they annoy you or other people? Not that I'm aware off. History Where do you come from? I was born and raised in Freedom City. Have you made any major moves, or do you live in your hometown? I was never able to travel beyond the city. Do you feel loyal to your country of citizenship? Do you consider yourself patriotic? How do you feel about the government of your country? I gave my life to defend its justice system, how could I not be a patriot? How do you feel about the place you come from? The funny thing about living on the streets is you see the best and worst of people. I think, or at least hope, that most people in this city are good. Where is your home town? What was/is it like? Right here in the city. Growing up, were most of the people you knew similar to you, or were you somehow a minority? How did that affect you? Adults from where I grew up were always a little wary of me, as if I was cursed. After a few fights most of the children accepted me, though a few were always wary. Is there something you've always been really good at or really bad at? How has that affected your life? Looking on the bright side, and grasping any opportunity as it came along. Not always for the best, but it did get me here. Were there any traumatic experiences in your early years (death of a family member, abandonment, orphaned at an early age)? My mother always seemed a little sad, though she tried to hide it from me. It seems something happened to her before I was born, though I could never find out what. Briefly describe a defining moment in your childhood and how it influenced your life. When I was small some of the children would tease me because I was "different", except for one boy who would always defend those weaker than him. When I got a little older and could fight I did the same because it just seemed right. What stupid things did you do when you were younger? I was a bit of tomboy and a young girl, ah the tales I could tell. Where did you go to school? How much school did you have, and did you enjoy it? I was educated in the local school in the area. When I decided to follow in my father’s footsteps they managed to get me a place at the predaceous Freedom College. Do you have any mementos of your childhood? What are they, and why did you keep them? If you have none, why not? I don't know if anything has survived from my childhood. When did you decide to become a hero? Why? Did anyone influence you one way or another in the decision? When I was a lawyer I could do my bit to help people, but the system of the time held me back. The Mystery Men on the other hand were the big boy, helping people because it right. Now I can return the favor. Is the reason you give people for becoming a hero different than your real reason? If so, why? No why would it? Do you have any deep, dark secrets in the past that may come back to haunt you? However tough it was, and however temping, I never took the easy option. So no deep dark secrets for me. Do you represent yourself as being different from who you really are? Why? Maybe I come from an easier time, but I never felt the need to represent myself as anything but who I am. If you do have these secrets, what do you fear would happen if the truth became known? How far would you go to protect those secrets? n/a Do you have any sort of criminal record? If so, is it public knowledge? None Family What are your biological parents' names? Abraham & Florence Harker. Were you raised by them? If not, please explain and describe who raised you. Yes What was their standing in the community? What did/do they do for a living? My mother was a School Teacher and my father was a Lawyer. They always seemed to keep a low profile, not standing out in the community. Where are your parents now? They must both be dead by now. Did your family stay in one area or move around a lot? My parents move to America from the UK to start a new life. How did you get along with their parents? How do you get along with them now (if applicable). I loved them with every fiber of my heart, I miss them terribly. How do your parents view you now, or how would they? I know they were proud of what I had achieved. I know they would have been proud of what I’m doing now. Do you have any siblings? If so how many and what are their names? Describe your relationship with them. Three brothers Quincey, Jonathan, Arthur and a sister Katie. What was your birth order in the family? I was the second born. Where are your siblings now (if applicable)? Do they have families of their own? What do they do? I don’t know if any of them still live. Do you stay in touch with them or have you become estranged? I use to stay in regular contact before I died, it would nice to re-contact them if they still survive. Do you love or hate one member of the family in particular? We often squabbled, like siblings do, but never anything serious. Is any member of the family special to you in any way (perhaps, as a confidant, mentor, or arch-rival)? I was always close to my mother, though she was often distant to us all. Are there any black (or white) sheep in the family (including you)? If so, please explain. None that I’m aware off. Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? If so, please explain, including how it has affected your life. No my family is small and rather unremarkable. Do you have a partner and children currently? If so, please describe them. Sadly no. If you do not have a partner or children, do you want them someday? How firm are you in your opinion on this, and what might change your mind? I’m not sure if I can, but I would have loved to have a child. What type of person would be your ideal mate? I believe I had met him, but he must have died years ago. Relationships Do you have any close friends? If so, please describe them, and how you came to be close to them. I don’t know anyone yet in this new century. Do you have a best friend? If so, how did they become your best friend? How close are you to your best friend? Hopefully I was find a new friend, all of whom I shall hold closely. If you were to go missing, who would worry about you? People have mourned my loss, but that was long ago. Have you lost any loves? If so, how did it happen, and what did you do? All of them. Do you have any bitter enemies? If so, please describe them and their history with you. Alas he is now beyond my reach. If you have enemies, how do you think they might attempt to work against you in the future? Ironical in aiming to end all my future he has given me an entire new one. What is the worst thing someone has done to you? Killed me and buried me in concrete. Where do your loyalties lie? In what order? My family first then my friends then my colleges. Who or what do you trust the most? Why? At the moment the only person I have to trust is myself. Who or what do you despise? Why? The late Don Giovanni, may he rot in hell. What qualities do you admire most in other people? Are these qualities you possess? Integrity and the desire to help others. What qualities do you hate most in other people? Do you have any of those qualities? Those that try to impose their will on others. Do you have a secret identity? If so, who knows it? Do you hide it from people who are close to you? Why? I have no one who know me, or who I have to protect with a secret ID. Do you work well on teams and in groups? Are you a leader or a follower? I’ll happily take orders, or take command if necessary. Are you on a super team? If so, how do you get along with your comrades? Do you trust them, or do you have secrets from them? They exist? To spend time around other hero’s that would be a wonder. Are you a member of any church, fraternal organization, club, committee, political party, or other group? How much time do you spend on that? No. Personality & Beliefs Who are your heroes? The early Mystery Men who appeared during the late 20’s. Did you ever become disillusioned with former heroes or idols? If so, why and what were the circumstances? To me it’s as if there’re still active. Do you like being a hero? If so, what is the most rewarding part? If not, what makes you keep doing it? I love every minute of it. Is there anything that would make you give up hero work, or even switch sides? Maybe one day I’ll settle down for a while to live a normal life. But I’d never give up my principles. What are your short term goals (what would you like to be doing within a year)? To build a new life, a little pool of “normalityâ€. What are your long term goals (what would you like to be doing twenty years from now)? To resume my old career as a lawyer. What is your greatest fear? Why? What do you do when something triggers this fear? Letting down people who need my help. Is there anything you would give your life for? To preserve the life of another. How do you feel about money and material wealth? Do you desire it or disdain it? Are you miserly with what you have, or do you like to share? Is it a mark of success, or a means to an end? It’s not the money you earn it’s what you do with that money that determine the type of person you are. How do you generally treat others? With the respect they deserve. Are you a trusting person? Has your trust ever been abused? I’ll trust someone until they prove me otherwise. Are you introverted (shy and withdrawn) or extroverted (outgoing)? Do you have a lot of self-confidence? I carry myself with, I hope, just the right level of confidence. How do you act around attractive, available members of your preferred sex? Demure and lady like as is expected. What are your most annoying habits? I tend to act without considering if there is any danger involved. Do you feel contempt for any general category of people? Who are they, and why? Anyone who tries to force their wills on others. What is your favorite food? Do you prefer any particular type of food? Do you take the time to enjoy your food, or do you eat as fast as you can? It seems I’ve lost the taste for food. What is your favorite drink (alcoholic or otherwise)? As above. What is your favorite treat (dessert)? As above. Are there any specific foodstuffs that you find disgusting or refuse to eat? None I’ve come across. What is your favorite color? Are there any colors you dislike? Violet What sort of music do you like? Is there any that you hate? I’ve always enjoyed a spot of Jazz, I’ve not had a chance to listen to much modern music. If you have a favorite scent, what is it? Arpège by Lanvin. Do you have a favorite animal? I miss horses on the streets, they added character along with other things. What is your most treasured possession? Why? I have nothing to treasure. Do you enjoy "roughing it", or do you prefer your creature comforts? I’m quite happy living rough on the streets, but then again I feel no cold or hunger. Is there a job or a task you would absolutely refuse to do? No Do you consider yourself a spiritual person? If so, how do your beliefs affect your life?How important is it to you? I’m still deciding. I’ve been given this second chance by someone, I’m still trying to figure out by who or what. Was your faith influenced or molded by anyone special? I was raised by my parents as an Anglican If you belong to a religious organization, how often do you attend? Do you have a specific place of worship, or friends within the organization? How much do you agree with the beliefs of your organization? I don’t attend any kind of service, though I do help the Nun down at the soup kitchen. Could you kill? Have you killed? No I could never take a life. What circumstances led to you forming that conviction, or taking that action? I’ve been given a second chance something few others have. Why should I deny anyone the life they deserve? Are there circumstances under which you believe it is permissible to kill? What are they? Only the state has the right to kill someone for a crime, and only if proven beyond all doubt. That and times of war. How would you react to watching someone kill another person? Would your reaction be different if the killer was a friend or an enemy of yours? I would try my hardest to stop that person even if it cost me my life. How would you react if something important was stolen from you? I would recover the item and have them arrested. How would you react to public humiliation? Depends on the circumstances, though if lives are at stake that comes first. How would you react if a good friend or relative were purposely or accidentally killed? Has it happened to you? Revenge is the first thing that most people would think off, but all I would want is justice. I hope my family received justice for those who took my life. What do you consider to be the worst crime someone could commit and why? Cliqued as it is taking another’s life. If your life were to end in 24 hours, what five things would you do in those remaining hours? I’ve done and seen most of what I want already. And also I died already. I think I wound watch the city from sun-rise to sun-set. Career & Training Do you have any special training in your hero skills? If so, where and how did you get it? Apart from the rough and tumble of childhood none. Who taught you the most about your heroing abilities? What was your relationship with that person? I’m self-taught, learning as I go along. Do you have any particularly unusual skills? How did you acquire them? No Do you do something besides hero work for a living? Have you ever done anything else, or do you plan to? I was before a trained lawyer, at some point I’d like to re-enter the profession. What is your preferred combat style? I Improvise. Have you ever received any awards or honours? No What skill areas would you like most to improve in? Is there anything you can't do that you wish desperately you could?

How could I be jealous of people who have worked so hard to reach the pinnacle of their art. I just watch (with awe) and hope one day I can joint there ranks. Lifestyle & Hobbies What is a normal day for you? How do you feel when something interrupts this routine? I wander the streets of this mighty city, taking in all the wonderful sights of this age. When I can I help people, including night helping at a soup kitchen. It’s a flexible routine fill with daily surprises. Do you have any hobbies, or interests outside hero work? What are they, and where did you pick them up? People watching, the variety of people you see is just fascinating. What do you do for fun?

I’ve have had the “honor†to be able to discover this already. I’m sure I’m a foot note in some history somewhere. Do you believe you pose a threat to the public? Why or why not? As long as I hold onto my integrity and desire to help people I’ll be of no harm to others. What do you perceive as your greatest strength? My ability to recover quickly from great harm.

Speak as if he/she were sitting right here in front of you. Use proper tone so they might heed your advice... Have fun and enjoy the wonders of the world, but be careful of those who would try and use you.
  2. You are right I'm talking to a giant hockey puck . So just ignore my entire post.
  3. This part of the West End had changed since Lucy had last walked the streets. It used to be where those who considered themselves Middle-class, despite having no more money than anyone else. Who proudly kept there street clean and tidy Like her parents. She’d been putting it off but finally, after the last few days of weirdness, she had decided to try and find the old house. She remembered the address like it was yesterday, which to her it almost was, but some of the layout had changed over time. She was close she was sure. Actually the area seemed unusually quiet and she wondered if the houses had been abandoned. No one else seemed to be around, well accept for those artists… She stood for a few minutes and watched them lost in their work, marveling at the shapes and color they were producing. Whenever she felt the panging for the old day’s she only had to remember the wonders this had to provide. â€Wow guy’s that’s really good†she step towards the confused graffiti artists.
  4. Cubist I don't think me and Blueshift have meet yet, not she's doing what I like to call "Stalking" or "Spying" . Can I get a chance to spot the two watching me? Let see if I can I'll have a notice of 24, yup that should do it! If not I'm going to try and find out information the hard way, fishing for information from the bars and clubs, starting with the nicer places and working my way down to the seedier parts, a Gather Information of 9. Well no information for me. As for information about Revenant, probably all that can be found is Heavy Metal kicking her ass. The benefits of a woman pre-dating the Internet .
  5. Revenant quickly scanned the situation and came up with a plan, without pausing to consider the option she kicked off running at almost full pelt toward this "Heavy Metal". "Ding, Ding Trolley Car coming through!" It looked like she was going to ram into him at full pelt, except at the last moment she "tripped" on a glowing footprint to bounce lightly off his chest. She smiled up weakly at the man "Hello, I'm Revenant. You wouldn't like to surrender now would you?" Inside she was beaming, this might actually work. It seems that all those Saturday morning cinema visits weren’t a waste after all Chaplin and Keaton would be proud. After all she knew she could take the pounding this man could dish out, saving the others from harm and hopefully pulling her fat out of the fire.
  6. Right i want to try something really stupid, or possibly brave i'm not sure which. Move action to reach him, which is fine as I can cover 100ft as a standard move. The a Trick, I want Heavy Metal to focus his attention on me, thats 23, 28 if he finds me attractive. Everything I know i learned from Buster Keaton . On the plus side as a construc I'm immune to his radiation!
  7. I tried my best, but... Initiative 3 Guess it's up to those young uns.
  8. Okay this id going to come across as just greedy , but my background has vampires all over it. So can I join?
  9. Hey I gone and posted something. If it helps Cheshire and Revenant met fighting Heavy Metal, and Revenant doesn't have a secret ID.
  10. Freedom City being what is was the Desk Sergeant wasn't surprised by anything anymore. So when a short pale woman walked in carrying a man over her shoulder it was just another day in the office. "Sergant, I'm handing this man over to you. Be careful he's a vampire." the voice was use to dealing with people. He looked at her dark pure black eye and everything became clear, just what this city needed another hero. He waved two uniforms over and the woman handed the little suited man to them. "I'm going to need a name." he saw the indecsion in her face "You alias will do." The woman though for a few minutes before replying "Revenant." "Well Revenant. If you like to follow the officer here, I'll get soemone to see you." The woman followed the officer peacefully, they probably wern't in any danger anyhow. Still it wasn't his problem now. He picked up the phone." "Hey Rhonda I've got one for you..."
  11. Lucy wandered the streets of Riverside,obstensively she was to meet up with Rhonda who had decided to introduce her to the girlfriend. Despite the rocky start the two were actually becoming friends, her first in the 21st Century. But mainly she was trying to see if she could find out anything about the children who had disappeared. The little text below the picture of the televisions she had been watching had said they had all disappeared in this area. Though she was rapidly adapting to this new century she was still unsure where to start exactly, how did hero's contact each other? Maybe she should get one of those little telephone everyone seemed to be carring around.? After all she was sure that a hero could only get messages through the Sisters at the Soup kitchen for so long.
  12. Thank you. I am planning to stay around, and I've got a month to prove myself and earn the points. So I guess put me down as a reserve.
  13. Oh I so wish I could take part in this, but I can't see anyway to get involved. Guess I'll have to wait for trouble to spill over .
  14. It had cost her all of her money but Lucy had to admit she was enjoying the bus ride. All the different and various people clustered together. She looked out the window, enjoying the scenery as it flashed by. Actually this was probably the furthest she had travelled outside the city proper, she could remember when this was nothing but fields. A large white building with a crowd of people clustered around it caught her eye. "Excuse me, what's that building there?" she asked an old woman sitting opposite. The woman looked at her with a smile. "Oh that’s the nuclear power station." "But why are the people standing around outside it?" The woman began to explain why but Lucy didn't hear. There was something wrong with the way the crowd were milling around. Thanking the woman she made her way to the front of bus. Just as the klaxons went off. "I need you to stop the bus." the driver began to protest, so she removed her sun-glasses and fixed him a stare with her coal black eyes "I mean now." The driver stopped the bus almost immediately. Barely waiting for the doors to open she told the driver to contact the authorities before dashing towards the station.
  15. How many people are comfortable with? I'm trying to volunteer for as many stories as possible, but I'm even greener than you so I'll probably be a liability .
  16. Well I seem to be free, if you'll have me!
  17. Revenant didn’t want to prolong this for any longer than necessary, so instead for went for a simple upper cut. She struck the vampire a solid blow, but the vampire seemed to shake off the blow. “Boy and I thought I was slow to learn.†She hadn’t much time until the vampire recovered, so followed up with a solid blow to the head. The vampire swayed, that blow must have done the trick. “So do you want some more of that?†She wouldn’t have believed it, but it seemed that she has literally knocked some sense into to man. “What? Where am I?†he collapsed to the ground. “Well, I guess I better get you to the authorities.†After checking on the victim, who it seems to have fled the scene, she carefully picked up the barely conscious Vampire. There lying on the ground was a small card, it must have dropped from his pocket during the fight…
  18. Another round. Revenant fo hit :28 Vampire Tou save 13 -1 cause injured (I forgot) so Disabled and Stunned. Okay it appears I suck at writting combat scenes, more and better to come. I'm fudging the notice roll for reasosn of plot.
  19. k, I'm going for the simple beat to a pulp option. Vampire is stunned so defense is only 3 (flat footed -5) Revenant Rolls :18 guess what a hit! Vampire has to make a Tou save against 25, rolls 26 makes it.
  20. If you'll have me I'll take a pop.
  21. As the vampire leapt, Revenant reacted almost on instinct. Thank heavens for her tomboy years. A simple side step and an outstretched arm caught the vampire in full flight. The vampire bounced off landing clumsily and shaking his head, like a large cat trying to clear his thoughts. It funny what you think about in situation like this but Lucy couldn't help but notice his cheap suit. Things may have change but it reminded her of a huckster lawyer or worst of all an accountant. "So now I have your attention..."
  22. Okay I'm going to use Nightrage (Iron Age p102), hopefully tough enough for a challenge but not enough to wipe me out... Vampire : Iniative 4 Revenant : Iniative 14 So I go first Standard Attack : 25 a solid hit Vamp has to make a Tou save against 25 16 So the vampire is Stunned and Injured. Vampire's stunned so can't react.
  23. Revenant A bite in the Park (Solo) Heavy Metal Rock! Piper of Riverside What's Done in the Dark News HellQ
  24. Revenant vs. The Vampire Just a quick fight to help me get a handle on everything, hopefully I'm doing this right. :D
  25. July 11th, 2011 Liberty Park, Late evening Lucy always liked the park at this time of night, the day people had gone home and the night people had yet to surface. Which meant mostly she had the park to herself. She also remembered the park, it was founded long before she was born. But it still held a few surprises. Like the statues she had discovered on the hill of various Mystery Men, or whatever they were called now, though she only recognized the first Bluesman. So she was quietly sitting there trying to imagine who they were and what great deeds they may have achieved when she heard the scream. Without thinking she was barrelling down the hill, towards a copse of trees where the sound was coming from. In the gloom of the copse she could make two figures, and if it wasn’t for the fact that one was struggling and screaming she could swear they were in a passionate embrace. This would have had her mumble an apology and backing away blushing. But no someone was in trouble and this is what she was doing now. She was trying to think of something witty or clever to say when the attacker spotted her. Turning towards her he hissed bearing sharp pointed teeth. “No he’s mine, she promised me she did.†leaping towards her as he spoke. “A vampire, really?â€
