Redpill
-Neo is a human originally born in the Matrix who was freed from it and shown the real world beyond. She is equipped with the headjack in the back of her head which allows her mind to be transmitted back (jacked in) into the Matrix, separate simulations, or other universes entirely via said link.
Residual Self Image
-While within the Matrix, one may alter hair style and color, eye color, skin tone, whether one is wearing nail polish, has beauty marks or freckles, clothes, minor accessories such as necklaces and gloves, and so on. The changes are only cosmetic and change nothing in terms of capabilities or characteristics, and are decided upon entering the Matrix. They can't be changed afterwards without appropriate powers and a Hacking the Matrix use.
Rapid Recovery/Enhanced Healing Factor
P.C.P.T +2/+4
The Anomaly +3

-Sense Power
-Line of Sight
-Provides Universal Translation modifier
-1 stone to activate/maintain per panel
Potential: 10
-May put stones in this modifier akin to an action to 'read' an object, area or being in the Matrix in addition to Enhanced Vision not unlike Concentration.
-MN represents the amount of 'Downloaded Skills' she can receive from an Operator
-The One (Franziska is 'The One', the Chosen One whose only true limitation in the Matrix is her imagination. For that reason, her Hacking the Matrix AN is not limited by Potential, and she may buy any options if she has the stones/LoEs for them. Furthermore, unlike ANY other Resistance hacker, the One is capable of using her powers OUTSIDE the Matrix, in her real world, at 1/4th the AN, rounded up, and with the Very Tiresome disadvantage. Both of those limitations can be paid off with LoEs/White stones; Very Tiresome at the usual price, and the 1/4th can be increased to a 1/2, and then to full AN, for +1 CL each.)
Translation, Universal
-From Code Vision
Photographic Memory
Reconstitute Self, Special
-As long as she dies in the Matrix/another universe via the Matrix, Neo can return herself to life and heal her wounds if she were to be 'killed' from mere moments to several minutes, depending how badly damaged her body is. If she got killed in her human form in the real world of her own universe, however, or if she was killed by a godlike being/cosmic entity/eldritch abomination of power exceeding her own, she would die for good.
Wealth: 6
-Gains $1 million per month/issue
-Currently has $1,000,000
-Last updated: 2019-10-27
CHALLENGES
-Psychological (-2; moderate stoicism. Franziska is not a very expressive, nor emotional person. She barely ever gets angry or overly happy or sad, not openly anyway. Perhaps she keeps it all bottled in. Maybe she just isn't good at expressing it. Either way, she usually simply seems calm and collected.)
-Psychological (-1; mild selflessness. Even with heroism aside, Franziska tends to think of others before she does of herself.)
-Psychological (-2; moderate showoff. Franziska is the One, she loves being the One, and is certainly not afraid to let it show.)
-C.T.S.U.F.U (-3; while Franziska is dedicated to saving her world from Agent Smith and the machines' onslaught, she is also very much of a good-hearted person who will usually go out of her way to help people in need even if doing so won't help her main goals.)
-Haunted past (-2; like all freed Red Pills, Franziska was exposed to the truth: that the 'real world' she had known all her life before was actually but a simulation, and that the actual real world was in the grasp of the machines, humankind being used as mere batteries, with free humans bordering on extinction.)
-Inexperienced at love (-1; back in her original life, Franziska was a fairly secretive hacker, not too fond of social interaction. When she was shown the real world, she was too busy being the Chosen One to seek love either, leaving her quite innocent and inexperienced.)
-Minority (-1; pansexual. Franziska doesn't especially consider gender when meeting potential love interests.)
-Criminal record (-3; as far as the machines, the 'system' and its Agents are concerned, Neo is the most wanted criminal in existence.)
-Deadly enemies (-7; Agent Smith, regular Agents, some Exiles, the machines, etc.)
EQUIPMENT
-Grey shirt, black pants, black shoes
WITHIN MATRIX EQUIPMENT
-White buttoned blouse, Black pantsuit, Black necktie, Black dress shoes, Black sunglasses
-Smartphone (Linked to the Nebuchadnezzar's operator, Link.)
ΒΈ-Ebony Blade (+3, 2x damage; Energy Drain 3, Deals both Normal AND Energy damage; Will Heal 1w of Health to the wielder per 3 stones drained; Indestructible. Energy Drain will increase by 1 AN per 2 'friends' killed up to a maximum of +5 (with 'friends' here being anyone who sincerely thinks of the wielder as an ally and a trusted friend), at which point it will have reached its maximal potential in that given wielder's hands, meaning one has to kill 10 people who see them as a trusted ally to reach said potential. That bonus isn't maintained if the blade falls in someone else's hands; it only applies for that specific wielder. The Ebony Blade is a powerful, wicked artifact of Mephala, the Daedric Prince of Unknown Plots, Secrecy and Obfuscation. It is an artifact of deceit and treason, rewarding those willing to win the trust of others before murdering them with it with even more of its power.)
______________________________________________________________
STORY: In her original world, Franziska Liesel Richter was a computer whizkid college dropout who actually left school because she found the 'system' too boring and easy for someone of her skill and intellect, becoming a professional hacker working outside the confines of the law known as 'Neo', until she was noticed and rescued by another legendary hacker known as Morpheus, and his crew. Morpheus taught her the truth, offering her a choice that would change her life. Blue pill, or red pill?
Soon enough, she awoke in the actual real world, and joined the crew, using her hacker nickname as her new identity. She was trained as a Resistance member, brought to a mysterious program known as 'The Oracle' and told by her and Morpheus of the Prophecy, and their belief that she was 'The One', the reincarnation of the original hero who founded Zion, freed the first humans, and began the rebellion, fated to return to end the war and save all of humankind. She was told of the Resistance hackers' ability to jack into the Matrix and visit other worlds via a virtual avatar of themselves, where they had the ability to challenge the rules of reality to a certain extent, an ability which the One was said to excel and exceed anyone in terms of potential at.
While she initially doubted she was so important, Neo proved to be surprisingly talented and skilled, mastering abilities others needed weeks to succeed at in mere hours. Her first encounter with an Agent proved almost lethal, but she managed to escape with her life thanks to her new teammates. Her second one - against the one who'd become her nemesis, Agent Smith - she fared better, but had to be saved by Morpheus who sacrificed himself to ensure she would escape, ending up captured as most of the rest of the team was murdered from the ship in the real world by the traitor Cypher, having made a deal with Smith in exchange for a peaceful and successful life in the Matrix... which he'd never get, as crewman Tank managed to kill him to save Morpheus, Neo and Trinity's lives.
What followed would prove Morpheus and the Oracle right. Neo and Trinity staged a rescue mission with Tank's help, and were not only able to save Morpheus from the grasp of the Agents, but as they made their escape, Agent Smith and two other agents managed to corner Neo and seemingly kill her... only for her to literally come back to life by her will alone, her wounds healed, and now perceiving the world around her as lines of code at will. She was the One, and proved to be able to manipulate the Matrix as she saw fit, stopping bullets in midair, and proving to be WAY more than a match for Smith and his fellow agents now... soon enough doing what was supposed to be impossible, and apparently killing Smith outright.
Months passed, and despite Tank's untimely death, his brother-in-law Link stepped in to join the remaining Nebuchadnezzar crew, while Neo kept honing her new powers to new heights. She could fight agents head-on with ease, and helped free multiple red pills as they kept performing missions for the Resistance, while searching either to improve even further, or to recover artifacts from other worlds in order to defeat the machines once and for all. There was a whole multiverse out there... for all they knew, the answer to all of their problems was out there, somewhere... or it was her herself, a potential she'd access with experience, time and effort.
