Reflexive Dodge +1

Mental Defense +3

Wealth 5
-As the Pokemon League champion and a very skilled archaeologist, Cynthia has gained a large personal wealth battling trainers and finding precious artefacts.


CHALLENGES
-Compulsion to stick up for underdog (-3; Cynthia may be the champion of Sinnoh's Pokemon League, but she hasn't allowed her success to go to her head. She is ready and willing to help people in need, and cannot stand bullies, criminals and people abusing their power.)
-Refusal to take a life (-1; Cynthia is a Pokemon trainer and an adventuress, not a murderer. She'd never willingly kill anyone or allow someone to kill someone else if she has anything to say about it.)
-Honorable (-2; Cynthia never cheats or lie, always keep her word if she can and always gives her best. She lives by her own rules, but will respect those of others unless they severely clash with hers.)
-Duty (-3; to her Pokemons. More than mere friends, Cynthia's Pokemons are, from her viewpoint, part of herself. They are family, trusted allies, and just like they take care of her and protect her, she looks out for them and takes very good care of them.)


EQUIPMENT
-Black outfit and shoes
-Black coat (+2 Cold Defense; yet isn't too hot too be worn all the time)
-Pokédex (also works as a Handheld Computer. Grants +2 to General Knowledge [Pokemon, Types/weaknesses, Legendary Pokemon]. Completely waterproof.)
-Poké Watch (also works as a Calculator, Flashlight, Timer, etc. Completely waterproof.)

-6 Pokémon (Garchomp, Lucario, Spiritomb, Togekiss, Roserade, Palkia)
-Black one-piece swimsuit
-10 Superior Ultra Balls (+3 weapon; deals no real damage, but captures target if stones used exceed Intelligence plus remaining Health. Only works on Pokemon or certain animals/creatures, as told by the GM. NOTE: Even if the "attack" fails, these Pokéballs arenb't destroyeds and may be used again until they catch something.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY: Cynthia was one among many young Pokemon trainers, eager to go on an adventure and explore the world, to learn its secrets and seek the truth behind the legends of ancient times she had read about in the books. However, the blonde girl was somewhat different from most trainers. Gifted with an incredible intellect and great natural potential as a trainer, she had a natural affinity with Pokemons and no small amount of talent for tactics and battles. Mature for her age, she had already understood the importance of the bond between the Pokemon and their trainer, and she considered her Pokemon as her friends... in fact, even more than mere friends, they were her family.

The girl travelled Sinnoh for months, finding new Pokemons, meeting new people and battling other trainers as she visited new towns. She visited ancient ruins and temples, searching for artefacts and legends of the past, as well as rare Pokemons. Soon, she had made quite a reputation for herself, and after having gathered enough Pokemon badges, she travelled to the Victory Road, managed to get on the other side and challenged the Elite Four and their champion, Lucian. Despite the power of the Elite Four, and the incredible skill of Lucian, Cynthia defeated them all, becoming one of the youngest champions of Sinnoh (as well as one of the few girls to become champion), ever. These epic battles made Cynthia's main pokemon, Garchomp, famous, because not even once was the Mach Pokemon defeated even during the battles against the Elite Four and Lucian, and despite fighting furiously during all five Pokemon matches.

As the new champion of the League, Cynthia travelled the world again, searching for secrets that were previously inaccessible, and helping two of Professor Rowan's pupils, Lucas and Dawn, to fight the group of criminals known as Team Galactic and becoming great trainers of their own.

Eventually, Cynthia teamed up with Dawn to attempt to capture two legendary Pokemon, Dialga and Palkia. Together, the two managed to defeat the great dragons (in fact, Cynthia only used a single Pokemon to defeat Palkia: Garchomp, of course!), and they decided to keep one each.

Later, both Lucas and Dawn went through the Victory Road to battle the Elite Four and challenge Cynthia. Although Lucas didn't make it past Lucian (now the last of the Elite Four), Dawn managed to fight her way to Cynthia and fight her in one of the greatest Pokemon League battles ever seen, but in the end, she couldn't defeat the Champion. Cynthia encouraged her to not give up and train even harder so that she could become the next champion, and Dawn thanked her for both the battle and her kind words, swearing that "next time will be different."

-Bite (Dark type attack)

Ranged Combat 4

Flamethrower 7
(Int.bonus)
-As Force Blast, Fire element
-2x damage

Mastery of Earth/Sand 8
(Int.bonus)
-Create/Manipulate
-Immune to effects (Sand only)
-Sand Tomb (Force Blast, ignores Reflexive Dodge, causes a -1 sit.mod. to all actions of any opponents not immune to the effects of Sand in an area of 2 around the target)
-Earthquake (2x damage, may be Area effect, does not affect flying opponents unless they are in contact with the ground or under a building or some other structure before it collapses due to this attack. Deals 3x damage if target is underground when the attack occurs.)
-Dig (not an attack per se, but it allows Garchomp to burrow through the ground at up to his regular speed (5 in this case) and possibly attack by surprise or simply create tunnels for any number of reasons.)
-Sandstorm (create a lasting Sandstorm not unlike those happening naturally in deserts. The effect has an area equal to half as many stones played in this action rounded down, causes a -1 sit.mod. to all actions of any being caught in the sandstorm who isn't immune to the effects of Sand, and makes breathing and sight as difficult as during a natural sandstorm.

-Becomes +6 against Fire, Rock and Poison attacks; also ignores 2x damage from such types of attacks

Reflexive Dodge +2
-Becomes +4 during a Sandstorm

Toughness +3
-No AP
-No 2x damage

Dragon Claws +2
-This attack is a Dragon-type one.
-Armor Penetrating

Garchomp Fangs +3
-When used to Bite, is a Dark-type attack.

Tail +1

Hard to Kill
-Like all Pokemons, Garchomp is incredibly resilient for a creature of her size. Most attacks that should have killed her will only make her faint, often giving Cynthia enough time to return her to her Pokeball to heal her when she can. Of course, it isn't impossible that Garchomp might still die because of a complication.


CHALLENGES
-Duty (-4; to Cynthia. Garchomp is incredibly loyal to Cynthia and isn't afraid one bit to fight to the death for her. She cares for her trainer more than for anything or anyone else, and she knows that the girl feels the same about her.)
-Temper (-2; Garchomp is tough, powerful and fearsome... and she has the temper to go with her skills. While she wouldn't mind much if Cynthia did something that bothered her a bit, the same cannot be told about other people, and she will express her disapproval very clearly to anyone who behaves wrongly in her eyes... Especially if "behaving wrongly" includes "mistreating Cynthia".)
-Compulsion to stick up for underdog (-3; Garchomp, like her owner, can't stand people or creatures abusing their power for no good reason. She will gladly defend those who can't defend themselves.)
-Special Vulnerabilities (-5; takes 3x damage from Ice-based attacks and 2x damage from Dragon-based attacks)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES: Garchomp is Cynthia's most trusted friend and Pokemon; the two were together for most of their lives. Most people aren't aware of this fact, but the "Pokemon Starter" Professor Rowan gave to the young blonde girl when she first became a Trainer was actually a small female Gible, who would later evolve into the fearsome dragon it is now.

Garchomp is Cynthia's main Pokemon in most situations; when she wants to travel far, she rides her; when she needs to defend herself, she calls her; when people ask her about her favorite Pokemon, she talks about her. Some of her other Pokemons may be better suited for some tasks, but Garchomp is her favorite for most. It was Garchomp who single-handedly ensured that Cynthia became Sinnoh's Pokemon League's champion, defeating the League and their former champion, Lucian, all by herself.

Metal Claws +2

Lucario Fangs +1
-When used to Bite, is a Dark-type attack.

Hard to Kill
-Like all Pokemons, Lucario is incredibly resilient for a creature of his size. Most attacks that should have killed him will only make him faint, often giving Cynthia enough time to return him to his Pokeball to heal him when she can. Of course, it isn't impossible that Lucario might still die because of a complication.


CHALLENGES
-Duty (-4; to Cynthia. Lucario is pretty much as loyal to Cynthia as Garchomp herself is, because it was still in its egg when it came into her possession, and he sees her at the very least as a big sister and the one person who has always taken care of him. Lucario has self-styled himself her personal bodyguard [despite Garchomp obviously thinking of herself as such] and trains really hard every day to be strong enough to protect her if the need arise.)
-Extreme vanity (-2; Lucario considers himself as THE greatest martial artist, anywhere and ever. He won't back down from a challenge unless Cynthia specifically orders him to do so, and does not agree with anyone thinking otherwise.)
-Overconfident (-1; Lucario is so proud of his own abilities and fighting skills that he often fails to see when the odds are against him, sometimes leading it to defeat. Luckily for him, Cynthia isn't as blind as him and often makes up for his mistakes.)
-Showoff (-1; Lucario considers himself as awesome and acts as such.)
-Special Vulnerabilities (-5; takes 2x damage from Fire, Fighting and Ground-type attacks.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES: While she has had Garchomp with her for a longer time, Cynthia was Lucario's trainer for its entire life. Cynthia was given a Pokemon egg by a trainer she met during her travels, and she kept it with her until it hatched, and she has kept the pokemon inside it, Riolu (who later evolved into Lucario) ever since to her side.

Lucario is a loud-mouthed showoff who isn't afraid to challenge most anything that dares to claim he isn't the best martial artist ever, and for all his boasting, he is actually pretty darn good. He is very protective of Cynthia and shows distrustful of most people out of caution. Despite his sometimes bothersome personality and his great pride and arrogance, he has a good heart and he and Cynthia share a very close bond.

Reflexive Dodge +2

Hard to Kill
-Like all Pokemons, Roserade is incredibly resilient for a creature of her size. Most attacks that should have killed her will only make her faint, often giving Cynthia enough time to return her to her Pokeball to heal her when she can. Of course, it isn't impossible that Roserade might still die because of a complication.


CHALLENGES
-Duty (-3; to Cynthia. Roserade was the first pokemon caught by Cynthia and has been with her ever since, and thinks of her as a friend and fellow adventurer!)
-Curious (-2; Roserade is a true explorer, leaving almost no mustery unsolved or stone unturned if she can help it... sometimes to the point of pushing it way too far. Of course, she tries not to do anything that would put her, or especially Cynthia in trouble, but at times, her curiosity gets the better of her.)
-Special Vulnerabilities (-5; takes 2x damage from Fire, Ice, Flying and Psychic-type attacks.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES: Roserade was the first pokemon Cynthia ever caught, and has been around ever since. While she is far from the best fighter of Cynthia's team, she has her own strengths and skills that sets her appart from her allies, and she is very hard-working and willing to do her best always. She is very curious, however, and at times this has put her or her friends at risk. She is no fool, however, and always does her best not to endanger others because of her.

Roselia may not be the toughest fighter around, but she has special skills that makes her very useful. Her power over plants and lots of kinds of poisons makes her an often underestimated, though impressive opponent.

Already Dead
-Spiritomb simply cannot be killed, since she's already dead. She will only faint no matter what kind of attack defeats her.


CHALLENGES
-Duty (-3; to Cynthia. Spiritomb was one of the first pokemons Cynthia caught, and despite it being a ghost and being feared by most, she has shown great care and love even for her. As such, she has come to consider the Pokemon champion as her truest and closest friend if not family.)
-Loner (-2; unlike most of her Pokemons, Cynthia's Spiritomb is a bit of a loner, set apart from her other pokemons because she is already dead. She isn't as much friendly to other people as the rest of Cynthia's pokemons and generally prefers to be left alone, except of course for Cynthia, and to a lesser extent, her other pokemons.)
-Mild cruelty (-1; maybe as a side effect of being a restless spirit, Spiritomb enjoys scaring the heck out of people and often uses her ghost powers to do just that. Of course, she's well aware that Cynthia doesn't condone such acts, and will usually keep her haunting skills for bad guys.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES: Spiritomb was one of the first pokemons Cynthia caught, and although she used to be a rather violent and fearsome spirit, she gradually warmed up to her trainer when she understood that Cynthia only wanted her friendship, respected her and trusted her. In time, she became one of Cynthia's most trusted pokemons, learning to keep her powers for thosde who deserved it instead of people who had done nothing wrong.

Cynthia will call for Spiritomb when she needs some more subtle kind of firepower or when she only wants to give a good scare to someone. She also understands the great tactical advantage of having a pokemon with no particular weakness who ignores most physical attacks without any trouble...

-Like all Pokemons, Togekiss is incredibly resilient for a creature of his size. Most attacks that should have killed him will only make him faint, often giving Cynthia enough time to return him to his Pokeball to heal him when she can. Of course, it isn't impossible that Togekiss might still die because of a complication.


CHALLENGES
-Duty (-4; to Cynthia. Not unlike Lucario, Togekiss was in Cynthia's possession even before he was born. He definitely sees her as his mother and is accordingly loyal to her.)
-Peace-lover (-2; Togekiss dislikes conflict and violence, and as such doesn't train in battle as much as his allies. He can fight, but he would rather talk, play and make friends than do battle... Because of this, Cynthia has it around mostly as a friend and a pet than a fighter, although Togekiss will fight to the best of its ability if Cynthia's life is in danger or if she asks him to.)
-Naive (-1; Togekiss is slightly naive. He is friendly and true, and he expects everyone to be so as well. He takes a -1 sit.mod when trying to discern the truth when lied to.)
-Special Vulnerabilities (-5; takes 2x damage from Electricity, Rock and Ice-type attacks.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES: Like Lucario, Togekiss has been one of Cynthia's pokemons for his entire life, although later so. On the other hand, Togekiss is much more friendly and trusting than Lucario and as such he likes Cynthia as much, if not more, as his fellow pokemon. Togekiss loves peace, making new friends and seeing new things. It is curious, friendly and playful, always willing to help and make people smile.

Although it is not interested in battle and violence, he is actually a very impressive fighter, like all of Cynthia's pokemons. He packs quite a punch especially in flight, and his Metronome technique can often turn the tables when he finds himself on the losing side. Togekiss is always trying to get along with everyone and enjoys his life as one of Cynthia's pokemons.

Reflexive Dodge +4

Toughness +5

-Armor Penetrating

-When used to Bite, is a Dark-type attack.

Tail +1

Hard to Kill
-Like all Pokemons, Palkia is incredibly resilient for a creature of its size. Most attacks that should have killed it will only make it faint, often giving Cynthia enough time to return it to its Pokeball to heal it when she can. Of course, it isn't impossible that Palkia might still die because of a complication.


CHALLENGES
-Duty (-2; to Cynthia. Palkia respects its trainer greatly for stopping Team Galactic's leader, Cyrus, from using it and Dialga to destroy the world, and also for the girl's ideals and courage. Although he isn't as "fanatical" about her as some of her other Pokemons are, she is the one human it respects the most and will obey her commands with no questions asked.)
-Crouching lazy, hidden badass (-2; Palkia often fakes being lazy or unwilling to do anything for the sheer fun of it, while it is actually very hard-working and devastatingly powerful when it wants to be.)
-Compulsion to stick up for underdog (-3; as the Protector of Dimensions and one of the most powerful Pokemons, Palkia can't stand evil and people who would destroy the natural order of things.)
-Special Vulnerabilities (-5; takes 2x damage from Dragon-based attacks)


EQUIPMENT
-Lustrous Orb (a legendary orb kept within Palkia's own body; Cynthia once used it to summon Palkia to the Spear Pillar and then returned it to Palkia after she caught it. It cannot be destroyed or taken away from it, and it grants +2 from GP to both Mastery of Space and Mastery of Water.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES: Palkia is one of the two beings rumored to be responsible for creating the world eons ago. This ancient Pokemon is merely a legend in the minds of most, and Cynthia's habit of defeating most trainers using only her trusty Garchomp has left most people unaware that she actually has Palkia as one of her Pokemon (and Palkia itself doesn't mind much, since it prefers not to fight unless it is necessary).

A rather peaceful but unbelievably powerful Pokemon, the Spatial Pokemon would rather avoid conflict than seek it, and it loves its trainer because she understands this. Although she is an adventuress and a Pokemon League champion (two occupations often leading to battles or at least, trouble) she uses her other Pokemons before asking Palkia to take matters into its dragon hands, which is perfect with it. It is curious about the world and other Pokemons and enjoys being with its new trainer, however, so it doesn't mind much being carried around from place to place and having to fight once in a while or use its considerable powers for the greater good.

Although it often tries to avoid conflict and often appears very serious, Palkia actually has both a strange sense of humor and a divine hatred for evildoers. It sees peace as an ideal to strive for, but isn't foolish and knows that sometimes, some individuals will threaten it and will require someone to stop them. Palkia is confident that that someone will be Cynthia when the time comes, and that it will be there with her if the need arise.

*Reads cad in admiration.*

Now why can't I meet a girl like you where I live?! ;D

[Princess Mara]

I take it you like my take on Cynthia!

[Hoots Rowlet]

Oh yeah... Great work as usual.

[Princess Mara]

Thank you very much! XD

Now I just have to wait to know if Nightmare will allow me to play as her in Super Champions, lolz!

[Hoots Rowlet]

Cool... Just an FYI... Had you applied for her in Omniverse, she'd have ended up wearing a (black) kimono-dress for a costume, just like Michael. (Except in Cynthia's case I'd have given her a pair of pumps to wear as well.)

(Just to be clear with you... A kimono-dress is a dress that is kimono-like from the waist up, with a shin-length sealed ballroom skirt.)

[Princess Mara]

I'd have applied in the Omniverse, but I'm already playing as four characters in there, I don't want to give you too much work.

[Hoots Rowlet]

Please don't feel shy about submitting more characters. I love seeing people come up with stats for non-book characters.

[Princess Mara]

Thank you, but I'll stick to four characters at most for now. ^_^ Besides, Nightmare just approved of her for SC.
Though I gotta admit I'm wondering what kind of powers, if any, would her black kimono-dress would have granted her.

[Hoots Rowlet]

I don't know about the dress, but the pumps might have had a Stark cyberneticly activated massage, and pedicure function. ;D jk.

[Princess Mara]

Ooooh.... I want'em!!! In real life, I mean!

Only pumps you can actually wear not only without hurting your feet, but also actually making them feel better! XD

[Hoots Rowlet]

Well the kimono-dress wouldn't so much as help her in battle so much as make her look more elegant and befitting of her staus as the proverbial "Queen" on the Pokemon trainer chessboard.

[Princess Mara]

She'd probably wear it during important events, then. Or just when she feelsl ike looking real good. But when adventuring or exploring ruins, she'd probably go with her usual clothes. ^_^

ZOMBIE GIRL
Monster hunter, Undead american, Self-proclaimed heroine


As "Zombie Girl" (basically, she's simply wearing a biker outfit with full-face helmet in order to conceal her identity when she hunts bad guys at night)


(This is Tina at her best, with make-up hiding what few features of her face could give her away as one of the living dead. Without her make-up and colored lenses, her eyes are pale grey, have dark circles under them as if she was seriously sick or something and her lips get slightly dry and lifeless. Even when wearing her make-up, however, she always look like she's tired, or seriously lacking sleep.)

Real Name: Tina Morgan
Occupation: Student, Monster hunter
Age: 17 (... forever)
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 120 lbs
Eye color: Pale grey (wears colored lenses to make them seem darker)
Hair color: Dark brown
Species: Supernaturally enhanced (pretty) Zombie

-Brutal punches/haymakers
-Grapple
-Street fighter

General Knowledge 2
(Int.bonus)
-Occult lore
-Zombies lore

Slasher Telportation 3
-As Teleportation... but based on those good old slasher movie villains who always seem to catch up with their victims despite the fact the villain's walking while the victims are running.
-Can only teleport to places she could physically reach, regardless of the time it would take (for example, she could teleport on top of a building if there are stairs or a ladder or something leading up there, she could teleport into a car if the car's doors aren't locked. However, if she wants to get inside a locked room, she'd simply appear in front of the main door leading there (or any other door if the main one is inaccessible), and she'd have to either find a way to unlock it... or smash it open.
-Cannot bring others with her
NOTE: In essence, this limited teleportation is merely a mysterious power of a zombie animated by vengeance such as Tina Morgan or Jason Voorhees, allowing them to keep up with their victims despite being seemingly very slow most of the time. The way it works is mostly unknown, even to Tina herself: as far as she knows, she does travel the distance between the two areas. Tina herself often uses this to either scare the heck out of bad guys or to mysteriously appear, give a cryptic warning or hint to an ally, and disappear again.

Thieving 2
(Agl.bonus)
-Stealth
-Disguise

Vehicle operations 1
-Motorcycles

Social Skills 3
-Intimidate
-Weird Humor/sarcasm
-Monster hunter


MODIFIERS
Reconstitute Self, Zombie
-Essentially works as Reconstitute Self instantly, except that doing so actually requires one panel instead of occuring between death and next panel (your basic "she dies, but before you know it, she's struggling to get back on her feet"). Also, Tina retains the scar of the wound that killed her, making her look less and less like a human being for each "death" she suffers (essentially, for every additional 2 deaths, she gets a cumulative -1 to her "Looking dead" challenge, eventually reaching -5 and making her look definitely not alive, no matter how great her skills at disguise might be).

Accelerated Healing Factor
-Note: Unlike the "killing wounds" she may get, regular wounds healed with this ability leave no scar on her body.

Energy Battery 2

Deep Reserves +3

Reflexive Dodge +1

Toughness +1
-No 2x damage (because she essentially has no working internal organs)

Energy Defense 2

Mental Defense +3

Zombie Immunities
-As an undead, Tina does not age, does not need to breathe, eat or sleep; she ignores poison and does not bleed enough for it to make a difference (also, her blood tastes very bad if she's bitten by a vampire, because it is dead. Vampires get no energy back from draining her energy by drinking blood). Last but not least, she ignores pain entirely, although she can still be wounded.


CHALLENGES
-Looking dead (-1; Tina died once so far, and she already bears marks of her death. So far, her eyes are exceedingly pale, her lips are often very dry, she always looks like she's not sleeping much and she has a rather nasty scar on her chest where a large butcher's knife stabbed her. She can still conceal those features with make-up, colored lenses, and shirts and blouses without much in the cleavage department.)
-Clown... or is she? (-2; Tina keeps telling weird jokes and more or less funny comments about pretty much anyone and anything, regardless of just how serious the situation is. However, this is actually her own way of covering the fact that she is rather depressed about her existence, her unfair death and the fact that she may be trapped in this lifeless corpse of hers forever.)
-Violent impulses (-2; Tina is far from the nice shy girl she was when she was alive. Since she died, she has had a strange love for violence, enjoying the fights she frequently gets into as a self-proclaimed monster hunter a little too much. Thankfully she keeps her violent tendencies for the bad guys, but still, she tends to overdo it with her enemies at time.)
-Self-imposed duty (-3; Tina has decided she had been brought back from death in order to keep other people from being killed by supernatural threats such as vampires, demons, demonic cults, etc. She frequently patrols forests, cemeteries and back alleys on her motorcycle as "Zombie Girl", searching for bad guys to punish and people to save from the claws of some undead ugly.)
-Secret (-2; that she's dead, and that Zombie Girl and herself are one and the same. If those two secrets came to be known, she would probably have to leave the school and hide if she wants to continue her crusade against the supernatural. Of course, if she dies again, the secret will be harder and harder to hide. Should both secrets be discovered by the wide public, this Challenge would become Psychological (-2; misses her old life as a normal student; depression).)


EQUIPMENT
(As Tina)
-Normal clothes, cellphone and bag
-Also carries a single wooden stake in her bag (+2 weapon)
(As Zombie Girl)
-Leather biker coat (+1 defense)
-Full-face motorcycle helmet (no game effect, but hides her face)
-Brass knuckles (+1 to Close Combat when used to punch someone; will break if used with more than Str 3)
-Metallic Baseball bat (+3 weapon; very hard to break)
-Wooden Stakes (+2; always carries two of them in her coat)
-Switchblade (+1 weapon)
-Reinforced Black Viper Motorcycle (same as basic motorcycle, but with Speed 6, Maneuver Modifier 3, and Vehicle Damage 3. Aside from those changes, it is an ordinary motorcycle.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STORY: Tina Morgan stood in front of the mirror again, making sure her make-up was perfect. Well, as perfect as it could be. She looked at her reflection again, smiled to herself, and nodded. But... the girl in the mirror wasn't herself. Not anymore... because that girl was dead.

She was but one among many students that had mysteriously disappeared in the last few months. It was far from unusual in that city; more mysterious murders and disappearances per square mile than there were planets in the galaxy. Okay, maybe not THAT bad, but still, it was a pretty dangerous town. However, unlike most people that disappeared, Tina Morgan had come back. Some rumors said she had maybe become lost in the nearby forest and managed to survive somehow, others claimed she had followed her boyfriend into the woods and that they wanted some time alone. The truth, however, was much less pleasant than any of that.

She had disappeared into the woods with a boy, true. But it was not willingly, and the boy was not her boyfriend... nor was he alone. He and his friends apparently belonged to some... freaky cult or something, whose purpose was to bring some "dark lord of the shadowy night" (or whatever that thing's name was supposed to be) into the world through a dimensional gate, which could be opened up only with the blood of a beautiful virgin. They chained her to a large stone with strange engravings on it, and started chanting in some weird foreign language she had never heard before, and when she finally got sick of it and was about to tell them just how sick they were, one of the boys stabbed her heart with a long butcher's knife.

She could only look at the handle of the knife sticking out of her chest as her blood stained her favorite blouse, and as her life fled from her body. Trying to say something, she attempted to move her lips, but no sound came out. Her eyes closed, she felt the sweet embrace of death take her away from the pain and the sadness of dying alone, not knowing why or what she had done to deserve that.

-Excuse me, Tina, what were you saying? I can't hear you, said the guy that had murdered her, making all his fellow murderers laugh at the cruel joke.

However, the laugh stopped very abruptly when the hand of the dead girl grabbed the guy's throat and pulled it right in front of her eyes, which opened.

-I said... "I'm gonna make you pay for that, you bastard." Is it loud enough for you now?

With a small push, she threw the guy five yards away into a tree, and he fell unconscious. Then she pulled the knife out of her heart, threw it down on the ground and looked daggers at the others, obviously (and understandably) pissed off. Grabbing the nearest cult member, she threw him into another before punching the lights out of a third one in a single blow. Before she could knock the other two out, one of them ran her through with a sword... but she simply pulled it out as well, caught the guy's arm... and crushed it. He fell on the ground, crying, while the last one knelt in front of her, begging for mercy.

-I don't remember any of you a******* showing any mercy to me when you killed me. But...

She punched the guy in the jaw, knocking him out.

-... you're lucky I'm not the same kind of monster as you are.

She left, walking in a daze, towards her appartment. As she was walking home, she called the cops, and told them she had seen boys with a knife bring a girl in the woods and that she was afraid something had happened. When they asked her her name, she simply hung up.

She had no idea what had happened exactly. All that she knew was that the ritual had failed. Somehow, the necromantic energies they had been conjuring failed to open the portal, and instead flowed back into her, trapping her soul inside her dead body and animating it with inhuman power. She was still alive... and yet, she wasn't. She had died... and she was still there to talk about it.

Tina Morgan was a zombie. A living corpse that apparently wasn't aware it wasn't supposed to move. She had little in common with the weak, shy girl she used to be before. She had just thrown guys two times her weight like they were rag dolls, she had taken a sword through the chest and hadn't even slowed down. Actually, when she checked, the wound wasn't even there a while later. The one and only scar that was still there... was the one from the knife that had killed her.

The morning after, she learned that the cops had caught the boys in the forest. Blood tests had been made linking the blood on their clothes to that on the knife, and since it wasn't that of anyone of them, they were thrown into jail for murder (obviously, the body of the victim was never found, nor the identity of the victim herself, but there were enough proofs on the scene to incriminate them). Not surprisingly, though, those news were a poor consolation prize for the dead girl.

On the plus side, she was in pretty good shape, for a zombie at least. Aside from the scar on her chest and her pale eyes, her skin still looked mostly human, although it had taken a somewhat greenish, olive color. Not enough to be particularly out of the ordinary, though. Unusual, but not inhuman. She could wear colored lenses to make her eyes seem a bit darker, and a good use of make-up could cover the rest of her... special traits. And thanks to God, she did not smell anything bad like zombies in old movies. Maybe it was because she had been brought back from the dead like one minute after she died... or maybe it was something else, whatever. She did was rather cold to the touch, however... but heck, lots of girls were. Her cousin Elie was always cold to the touch. She just was more than her, now.

Also, aside from the changes in her appearances, she had the whole "inhuman power" thing going for her. She was much stronger than any man, much tougher... well, not necessarily tougher, but wounds didn't slow her down much. She found out that her bones broke, her skin was cut and her flesh was bruised as easily as anyone else, but her body just apparently didn't care one bit and got better fast. She didn't feel any pain, nor did she bleed much (when your heart isn't beating, blood is less in a hurry to get out of a wound). She was dead, so she didn't even need to breathe, though she still did so out of habit. And boy was she glad when she found out that she wasn't hungry for brains or anything like that. She wasn't a brain-eating zombie, she was just... dead. And darn strong. If she had any other ability, she didn't know about them. She guessed she'd just have to find out along the way.

...because now, she had a job to do. She was back, so she thought to herself that there had to be a reason. Some higher purpose for her. She was still among the living because they needed her, to protect them against other murderous demonic cults, against the vile things that crawled in the night, against whatever was responsible for the disappearances. She had been given powers and a chance to make the world better... than when she left it, the first time.

She was dead... and now she'd do her best to keep others from joining her.

And so Tina Morgan looked at the mirror one last time... everything looked perfect. If she didn't know better, she'd think she was alive. She finally got out of the bathroom and wondered for the hundredth time why in the world had she decided to pretend she was still alive and return to school? If she hadn't, she wouldn't be worried about a stupid math exam right now.

Undeath wasn't necessarily any easier than life, apparently.

**********

Every night, Tina patrolled the back alleys, cemeteries, dangerous neighborhoods and forests around the city, saving several people during her travels as "Zombie Girl", the street fighter and protector of the helpless. In time, she built herself quite a reputation, and soon both street thugs and young vampires learned that she was a threat best not underestimated. Seemingly normal student by daylight and street warrior at night. It was a lot of job... but she had to do it, otherwise... who would?

Acrobatics 3
(Str.bonus)

Telepathy 5
(Int.bonus)
-Efficient
-Project thoughts/Implant suggestion (lesser version of Control Others; Kerrigan may use her powers to implant a telepathic suggestion in a subject's mind, making that person perform a single action/course of actions that isn't immediately (or clearly) dangerous for the subject and isn't against the target's moral code. For example, she could make a guard go on a patrol elsewhere thus leaving the path open for her, but she couldn't convince a guard to shoot himself in the head or defect to another group.)

-Empathy
-Telepathic communications (Broadcast; Kerrigan may send her thoughts to/hear the mental answers of any number of specific beings in Range 4)
-Mental Bolts
-Repair minds
-Pyrokinesis (as Mastery of Fire, but based on mental powers rather than control over the energy itself. Comes with Create/Manipulate and Force Blast [2x damage; untraceable effect (while Kerrigan can literally hurl bolts of fire at her foes if she wants, she can also simply burn a victim from the inside out without any other apparent effect] options)
-Cloaking (as Invisibility at AN; requires Sarah to wear an H.E.S; otherwise, she must use other techniques to "cloak", such as mental illusions or plain, simple stealth skills. NOTE: Infrared sight/sensors are useless against this, because a coolant unit in the H.E.S renders the Ghost undetectable to such a power/technology. Therefore other means must be used to detect her when cloaked.)

Energy Battery 2

Deep Reserves 4

Targeting +2

Reflexive Dodge +3

Mental Defense +5

Affinity with the Zerg
-The alien species known as the Zerg are immune to most psychic powers due to their hive mind. However, for some unknown reasons, Sarah Kerrigan is the one and only known Ghost in history to be able to directly affect zergs with her mental powers, to the point of controlling their every move, not unlike the ability of Zerg cerebrates and the Overmind itself (against the Zerg, her "Implant suggestion" Telepathy option becomes the full "Control others"). Wether that ability is due to her unique gene pattern or superior psi abilities, or both, is unknown.

Photographic memory

Precognitive Flashes
-A powerful psychic, Kerrigan sometimes perceives the future or distant events through flashes or dreams.

Wealth 6
-As the Second in command of the Sons of Korhal, Kerrigan has access to pretty much anything she needs, anytime she needs it. As long as it's reasonable and used for the good of the Sons of Korhal.


CHALLENGES
-Psychological (-3; raised to be a killer. Sarah Kerrigan was taken at a very young age to be trained and conditioned to become a cold, frighteningly efficient and remorseless killer. As such, it is difficult for her to take it easy, to lower her guard or to actually get to like someone. Her trust is difficult to win, and harder still is her friendship.)
-Haunted past (-2; when she was a small girl, she discovered her psychic powers for the first time when she accidentally fried her mother's brain and badly injured her father, Patrick Kerrigan. It was a long time ago and it wasn't really her fault, but she has never forgotten... and never will.)
-Duty (-3; to Arcturus Mengsk and the Sons of Korhal. Mengsk saved her from the Confederacy and removed the Neuro-Adjuster they had implanted into her mind to contain her psionic powers and ensure her loyalty to them. Therefore, she is indebted to Mengsk and believes in his cause, in his dream to free the Galaxy from the Confederacy's corrupt influence.)
-Reluctant to kill (-1; despite her training and her past as a Confederate assassin, Kerrigan doesn't enjoy killing... a rather amusing trait in such a skilled assassin. She will only do so if it is absolutely necessary and will otherwise dispose of her foes using less permanent yet still devastating and ruthless tactics. That being said, this reluctancy to kill only applies to intelligent creatures. Killing animals... or Zergs... or to a certain extent, Confederates [who she considers to be roughly less valuable than animals] is alright with her.)
-Compulsion to stick up for underdog (-3; if it doesn't endanger whatever mission she's working on, Sarah will often go out of her way to help people in trouble or in danger. Even while she acts like a hardened killer and a cold, uncaring person, she is definitely a good person deep down.)
-Hatred/prejudice (-2; VS anyone from/working for the Terran Confederacy, who made her their "puppet" through the use of a Neuro-Adjuster for years before Mengsk freed her. Also, anyone using their position/power/whatever to make the lives of others miserable will earn her hatred in a similar way.)
-Deadly enemies (-5; many. The Terran Confederacy considers her a traitor, the Zerg would love to get their hands on her to make her into one of their most powerful agents, and she is a prime target for any enemy of the Sons of Korhal.)


EQUIPMENT
-Hostile Environment Suit, or H.E.S (+2 to defense; the H.E.S is a highly resistant polymer suit created to protect the wearer against harsh environments and later modified to enhance the physical might of Psychics through the use of psi-sensitive artificial muscle fibers. It grants the wearer +3 to Energy Defense, Self-Contained Lifeform and +1 to Strength and Durability when worn. Highly resistant to damage, the suit also contains nanotechnology that will repair it in time if it is damaged, not unlike human skin. The unique structure of the Suit allows Psychics to use their own mental energy to cloak themselves, becoming completely invisible to the naked eye and to conventional infrared detection systems.)
-Ghost Eyepiece (Includes a standard Communicator, and works as Enhanced Vision 6 [Telescopic, Infrared, X-Ray])
-Psiblade (+3 weapon, ignores Toughness altogether [Mental Defense applies instead, if any]. This wrist-mounted technology was created after studying similar Protoss technologies, and was modified to make use of the Psychics' vast natural psi abilities. To activate this blade requires 1 stone per panel, though it requires no action.)
-C-20A Canister Rifle (This large rifle is a favorite of Kerrigan's, both for its adaptability and reliability. Except for the grenades, the C-20A generates its own energy and ammunition. It has three firing modes:

• Assault Rifle (In this mode, the C-20A functions as a +4 Rifle [2x damage, AP], Range 5, and gets an additional +1 when used against multiple opponents.)
  
• Grenade Launcher (In this mode, the C-20A is simply used to shoot a grenade much farther than it could be thrown, using the Grenade's Weapon modifier and Area effect, but with a firing Range of 4.)
  
• Sniper Rifle (In this mode, the Rifle may be used to shoot at only a single target per panel; but it becomes a +5 [2x damage, AP, Ignores 2 MN of Toughness even if with No AP] Rifle, Range 6.)

-Combat Knifes (2 of them. Those +2 knives are tough enough to cut through weak metals, and are silent and deadly. They are one of Kerrigan's favorite weapons when the time comes for a silent, quick kill.)
-Flak Pistols (2 of them. Basic infantry pistols of the Terran military forces, the Flak Pistols fire explosive rounds that can still put the hurt on a foe when stronger weapons aren't available. Kerrigan is particularly skilled at double-wielding them in battle. They are +2 [2x damage, AP] guns, Range 4.)
-Grenades (5 per mission; those grenades are +3 [Area effect, max area of 3] weapons that may be either thrown or shot with the C-20A rifle.)
-E-11 Lockdown Devices (3 per mission; those devices may be fired with the C-20A rifle as a grenade would. It acts as a +4 weapon, working only against Mechanical devices. If it deals even a single stone of "damage", the attack stones are then compared to the target's "Mental Defense" if any. If even a single stone get through, the device is stunned for 2 panels (1 minute).)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY: Sarah Louise Kerrigan discovered her psychic powers when she accidentally fried her mother's brain and severely wounded her father's. The young girl was then taken in by the Confederacy, who tested her psychic potential; as expected, it was extremely high, almost off the charts in some areas. She was apparently one of the exceedingly rare psychics to actually have noticeable telekinetic powers, as well as an ability to generate heat out of nowhere. Unfortunately for the Confederacy, the child had been scared of her powers due to the trauma she suffered after accidentally killing her mother and almost turning her father into a vegetable. However, her reluctancy to learn to control her abilities AND to use them for the Confederacy was taken care of when they implanted a Neuro-Adjuster into her brain, both to control her powers and keep her from developping it, and to ensure her loyalty to them.

The girl was trained to become a ruthless, deadly assassin through the Confederacy's Ghost training protocols, soon making her a master of martial arts, firearms, stealth and assassination techniques, as well as a powerful psychic. At the age of twelve, she was able to kill a man holding a gun against her temple before the man had the time to pull the trigger. At fifteen, she could willingly do to people what she had accidentally done to her mother, and so much more. Her abilities and her results in training were so incredible that the infamous agent known as "Ghost No.24" soon became legendary even to her fellow trainees. Most would say she knew 'ten ways to kill a man with a spoon'... something to which she would have answered "Fourteen, actually." Aside from her formidable psychic abilities, Kerrigan was found to be particularly skilled with knives and as a sniper. She accomplished dozens of missions for the Confederacy, all successful, and allending with the target unmistakably and undoubtedly dead. One such assassination was that of Angus Mengsk, from the planet Korhal.

A few years later, Arcturus Mengsk, Angus' son and leader of the rebels known as the Sons of Korhal, led an attack against the Confederacy that led to the capture of Kerrigan, whom he recognized as the assassin of his father. However, Mengsk didn't use this opportunity to take revenge, preferring instead to make her an offer. He had her Neuro-Adjuster removed, and when she woke up, he showed her the device. He explained to her how she had been the Confederacy's loyal dog for all those years, how they had kept her psionic abilities from growing freely. He was offering her a chance to be free from the Confederates forever, and more so, to strike back at them for what they had done to her. He was offering her a job.

Not surprisingly, she accepted. She became Lieutenant Kerrigan, Mengsk's second in command of the Sons of Korhal and his most trusted agent. More importantly, she was more powerful than ever, and she was on his side. Kerrigan saw the Sons of Korhal as some sort of family, and Mengsk as, if not a father, somewhat of an older brother. She came to trust him and to believe in his dreams of unity and peace in a Galaxy free from the evil grasp of the corrupt Confederacy.
