[b]Name:[/b] Bellona
[b]Alias:[/b] Gladiator
[b]Age:[/b] 18
[b]Personality:[/b] Having been raised in an environment and culture completely alien from any found on Earth, Gladiator is rather ignorant of the customs and etiquettes of Earth, let alone those of the USA. Her approach to the world and people within is excessively blunt, nor does she pick up on the subtle things (like sarcasm and verbal expressions) very well. In some miracle of the universe, Gladiator is a good person at heart despite her upbringing, but she is still rather insensitive towards others - an issue she will have to work on while on Earth. She's the kind of person who if you said [i]'something went over your head'[/i] to them, they would respond with [i]'that is impossible, my reactions are too fast, I would catch it'[/i]. In line with her blunt view of life she believes in retributive justice, an eye for an eye and so on. 

[b]Powers: [/b]
[list][*][i][b]New God Physiology:[/b][/i] A former denizen of Apokolips called a New God, Gladiator is a "being of genetic perfection", whatever that might mean. 

This translates into her having invulnerability which makes blunt-force attacks ineffective unless dealt by a being of a similar strength level to hers or greater, but this does not extend to energy based attacks. Similarly, slicing/piercing attacks appear to be able to partially bypass this invulnerability. 

Gladiator's strengh level greatly exceeds that of the strongest human. The upper limits of a New Gods strength can be measured in hundreds of tons (and in one notable case, nearly limitless), but Gladiator is actually on the lower end of the New God strength scale. While she won't be punching out Superman, Orion or Wonder Woman any time soon, she still classifies as a Class 70 (capable of lifting 70 tonnes at least, although she is capable of greater when under duress or in extremely stressful situations).
[*][i][b]???:[/b][/i] It is common for New Gods to develop a unique ability or two past what their alien physiology gives them. As Gladiator is still young (incredibly so, by New God standards), she has yet to figure out what that is. Only time and experience will reveal what it is. [/list]

[b]Weakness:[/b]
[list][*][i][b]Radion:[/b][/i] All New Gods are inherently weak to this mysterious substance to a lethal extent. If applied as a bullet or bomb, radion can kill a New God in one go. In the case of a bullet it matters not where it hits, as it kills through the rapid and aggressive poisoning.

[*][i][b]Magic:[/b][/i] Not really a weakness but, as in the case of Superman, she has no defences against the arcane. This is not to be confused with the idea of magic fire being able to harm her more than normal fire, or a magic hammer being able to hit harder against her, but more things like targeted transformation, teleportation, curses, and 'beams'. Natural phenomena recreated by magic will have the same effect as natural phenomena against her. [/list]

[b]Bio:[/b] A New God born of secretive circumstances on [url=http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Apokolips]Apokolips[/url]. Although not an orphan, Bellona found herself placed into the [i]magnanimous and gracious care[/i] of [url=http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Granny_Goodness_(New_Earth)]Granny Goodness[/url]. Her early years were made up of non-stop indoctrination, military training and education. [i]"Die for Darkseid,"[/i] she was told, [i]"Die for Darkseid"[/i] - over and over. Where most broke and became one of the many zealots of Apokolips, Bellona answered the same way each time in her head; "I refuse". She refused to die on anyone's will other than her own. Considered a problem child by Granny Goodness and her other tutors, she was none the less shaping up to be a fine warrior, earning the name 'Gladiator' among the orphanage and lining up to be a potential candidate for the Furies.

That was until she escaped. 

It was difficult, but not impossible. The only other (known) escapee of Granny Goodness' care was Scott Free or 'Mister Miracle' as he is known on Earth. Bellona's own method of escape was very simple, using a little bit of sleight-of-hand (thanks to her training with Kanto) to acquire a rarity off of the body of Granny Goodness - a [url=http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Mother_Box]Motherbox[/url]. With its transportation capabilities, her escape to Earth was a breeze...apart from the bit where she ended up opening a Boom Tube miles above Jump City, approaching the ground at a terrifying rate. Her landing is going to create a mess, and it probably won't be her ending up hurt. 

[b]Arc Ideas: [/b]
[list][*][i][b]The Call of Apokolips:[/b][/i] Found by her home and with nowhere to go, Gladiator must turn her back on the Titans and even become their enemy, not for her own sake but the sake of those within Jump City and beyond. The grip of Darkseid operates in many ways, and sometimes it is not always willing. 

[*][i][b]Die for Darkseid:[/b][/i] [i]"I am many things, Kal-El. You couldn't even begin to imagine half of them. But for now, I shall take the role of the executioner."[/i]

An endgame scenario has arisen - Darkseid is attacking Earth. Parademons plague the skies without number, overwhelming any counter-attack, and Darkseid's lieutenants are clear matches for the Heroes of Earth. Darkseid himself, one of the most malicious and powerful entities in the universe, intends to sap the very spirit and will from the people of Earth, the adopted home of his enemy Kal-El, and then make them his mindless pawns. One mind. One Will. One Life that is Darkseid.[/list]

[b]Other:[/b] Her weapon is the Thunderlance, a nigh-unbreakable weapon which appears/returns to her hands if she calls it, making a thundercrack sound as it does so. She is very much trained in its usage. 
Gladiator fulfils the niche of a team 'Brick' with hints an armsmaster thrown in there. 
While Apokolips would usually not bat an eye if one of their orphans did manage to leave (Scott Free being an exception due to his circumstances), Darkseid's forces will be looking for the girl for reasons known only to them...and possibly Gladiator.
Creation was inspired by Drax the Destroyer and Big Barda.
