History

Born in Lyon, France, the Bassards were a wealthy, influential family with fingers in many pies that ranged from politics to the arts. Sabine was born as the only child and sole heir to their name until tragedy struck and Sabine lost her mother, Giselle, in an accident. Distraught and broken, Sabine's father, Remmy, threw himself into his work, where he met Cosette. The two fell in love and got married rather quickly. Cosette had two children of her own from a previous marriage. Sabine hated them all.

Remmy made the decision to move to the United States when Sabine was 12 years old. The transition was relatively easy as Sabine had learned English in school. She also made a name for herself being an attractive blonde girl. Sabine's family were often too busy to interact with her and left the children to be looked after by staff. This allowed Sabine the freedom to do what she wanted, often getting into trouble and needing her family's wealth to bail her out. It was during this free time that she discovered her powers of manipulating memories and seeing memories of the past.

Sabine used this power sparingly at first until she was attacked by a boy at school. She saved herself by causing the boy to forget who he was, which caused a panic attack leading to the boy being hospitalized. Rumors spread that she caused the attack. Unsatisfied that her reputation took such a hit, she researched other schools and found the Avengers Academy. She decided that she wanted to learn to control her powers to prevent dangers in the future. She auditioned for the school and got accepted. She took the opportunity to rebrand herself, never allowing others to know more about her than she intended.

During her tenure at Avengers Academy Sabine has grown into her own, discovering a sense of self to be there for others and protect those who need it while still holding firm to who she is.

Personality

Sabine grew up full of herself and started off incredibly selfish, only looking out for herself. While she still desires to get what she wants she has grown to become more interested in how others are feeling and what they want. This does not mean she is a pushover and is not afraid to confront those who test her boundaries or insult her loved ones. Sabine is a force to be reckoned with when she gets angry.

Sabine can still be selfish and not know she is putting others off or insulting someone. She can act entitled and spoiled and prefers things going her way and making hell if it doesn't. She holds some lingering doubts from her childhood and her own abilities, choosing to hide them than share with those she cares for.

Traits

• Quick Learner - Sabine is a student and is able to learn how to adapt to situations quickly. If she fails an action check she gains an edge on rolls if she does the same action again.
• Famous - Sabine has built a social media presence that has given her some popularity and fame. With connections it is Edge to Ego to favorable groups and trouble to disagreeable groups.
• Surprising Power (Edit Memory) - Sabine has the ability to edit people's memories, a power far beyond her initial scope.

Power Control:

• Bump Power: Sabine bumps up another person's power
  • Prerequisites: Rank 2
  • Action: Standard
  • Duration: Concentration
  • Effect: Sabine picks one power from another person within 5 spaces and boosts it. If the power has ranges or areas or durations, these are doubled. If the power affects a damage multiplier, add 1 to the effect. Any effects that normally happen with a Fantastic success automatically happen on any success, not just a Fantastic one.

Telepathy

• Edit Memory: Sabine alters someone's memory.
  • Prerequisites: Waived via Surprising Power trait
  • Action: Standard

  • Effect: Sabine alters the memory of a target. This can be as simple as erasing a chunk of the target's memory or more complicated as implanting entirely new memories. The Narrator sets the target number based on how complex the new memory is and how hard it would be to integrate such memories into the target's other memories.
    Sabine makes a Logic check against the target's Logid defense. On a success, the memories are altered. On a Fantastic success, the target has trouble on checks to refute such memories in the future.
    Any time the target is given a good reason to doubt the edited memory they can make a Logic check to refuse the new version of their memory and recover their original memory. If they succeed they remember both the original memory and the edited one. On a Fantastic success, they know for sure who did this to them.

History

The adopted son of James and Casper Kingston, Danny was never a child without love. Although born in Genosha, his earliest memories are of New Orleans after James and Casper moved there following the collapse of Genosha. Pops worked at an auto shop, the strong order of oil caked into Danny’s early memories, and baby Danny was always dazzled and amazed at the outfits his Pape put on and the glitter, shimmer, and glamor of his shows. He remembers sometimes when Papa would be him because Pops had a guest at home and he always terrorized the backstage areas if they had one, wearing Papa’s feather boas and shoes even if they were too big. And when Pops would come pick him up, the half hearted scolding was seconds before the fond sigh, the quiet click of the camera, and a kiss on the forehead.

Although he was an only child, and he made sure to milk that he was with, Dorian was such a constant presence in his life, he felt like a sibling rather than just a friend. They’d watch Saturday morning cartoons, playing superheroes as their favorite show, She-ra and the Princess of Power, played in the background. When Danny whined at his parents to put him in dance classes so he could be a performer like Papa, his first solo performance was danced to the theme song and he demanded Dorian be there.

Of course, Danny was an impulsive wreck, moving through interests like clothes. One week it was painting, the next it was roller skating, and the cycle continued until he stumbled into cooking. The truth of the matter was, his family wasn’t known for their cooking skills. Pops had picked some up to feed the family and Papa wasn’t allowed in the kitchen unsupervised after the cupcake incident but sometimes Danny was craving a specific food and when he was, everything else was terrible and deserved to be trashed because it wasn’t the food so he decided he learn how to do it himself. As is expected when a 10 year old decides to cook without consulting his parents, the end result was an absolute mess but Danny had a blast through the entire process, even when half of it ended up on the wall. He was then also promptly banned from being in the kitchen unsupervised but got that lifted as he grew into the art.

Before his mutation presented itself, he planned to become a chef with his own shows and restaurants. He started his own Filterella, KingstonsKitchen, and grew it into a Snikt! and has a decent following that he likes to randomly pop on live with. He also posts random updates about his day under #shitIdo for easy filtering because he likes to and he finds it fun to include more people in his life (hear about how awesome and pretty he is).

Although he knew his family was wary about the x-men, he was always a little jealous when Dorian talked about his time there. He got to go to a hero school and Danny was stuck in normal New Orleans. They’d had dreams of being superheroes together when they were kids but between Danny’s struggle to stick with his interests, Pop’s general disapproval of superheroes, and a million flashier, easier things to get into, the interest faded until F-Day. His powers presented before Dorian’s and the old dream of theirs seemed realistic again. Sure he teased Dorian about getting powers first and sure he had to twist Pop’s arm to get him to agree (James barely lasted a day of tears and the cold shoulder before he relented) but with their approval, Dorian and Danny headed to Avenger’s Academy, bright eyed and bushy tailed, together.

Yes, it was hard and yes, it was a culture shock and yes, he called his parents sobbing to come pick him up because he missed home more times than he could count on one hand, but now, he's fully committed to rocking this Superhero thing. Superheroics are super interesting, the normal classes are bearable, and getting to set things on fire and looking fly as fuck doing it was right up his alley. Kicking butt in the Contest of Champions and taking top spot would just be the perfect thing to take home to Pops and show him this was exactly where Danny was supposed to be.

Personality

A difficult one to stay mad at for long, Danni is a highly energetic, fun loving, touchy feely golden retriever. He makes friends as easily as he breathes, and he attaches quickly and deeply with little more than a few days' time. He bounces rather than walks, sings rather than talks, and finds something to enjoy in every situation. He can make sunshine out of rain clouds and always has a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold, and a conversation to ease away the sting of all the unpleasantness life brings. He's silly and ditzy, seemingly directionless at times, but he cares deeply for those around him.

Of course, he isn't all fun and games. Danni's emotional state can fluctuate wildly, especially when he feels like he isn't being included or appreciated. He is used to being able to command all the attention at home, doted on left and right by his parents and family, but handles rejection, real or perceived, very poorly. He's the waterworks kind of kid, rather than the feet stomping, ground pounding kind, and he'll start sniffling if he even gets an inkling someone might tell him no. He is demanding of people's time, rarely pausing to consider that maybe not everyone likes a gangly teenager in their lap yapping away at a mile an hour, and rarely respects people's personal boundaries, always pushing, pushing, pushing until something snaps.

Traits

• Signature Attack: Elemental Blast (Hotshot) - Danni has spent two years training his control over his Hotshot, giving him an edge when making an attack with it.
• Clueless - Danni's difficulty to focus on any one thing often leaves him vulnerable. He has trouble on Vigilance checks to spot hidden or invisible things. Enemies have an edge of Agility checks to sneak near or past him.
• Quick Learner - If Danni fails an action check, he has an edge on the check if he tries the same action again on his next turn.

History

Life wasn't exactly normal for Dorian, especially towards the beginning. It's hard to recall his earliest memories, but if he thinks hard on them he always remembers a silhouetted man holding him and singing to him as an odd colored light surrounded them both. Later on in his years Dorian would learn that those earliest memories were of Max, his dad, using his magic to make his way home after grueling missions just to be able to put him to bed and say goodnight. While Max was away on missions his Appa, Ben, would always make sure to stay as present within his life as possible. The house they lived in was always warm and lively, and Appa made sure that Dorian felt as though he belonged.

Appa, ofcourse, was the stricter of the two. Always trying to teach him life lessons while his Dad simply wanted to have fun and enjoy what little time he had with his kid. At an early age Appa tried getting him to play a sport, to be normal whatever that meant. He rolled his eyes at the idea of football, didn't much care for track, tennis, or even soccer. But if he had to pick one he'd settled for baseball. The uniforms were cute enough, and it didn't involve as much running. So he was fine with it. The real joy came from seeing his parents' face light up everytime he hit the field. Win or lose they always supported him.

Years would pass and he lived next door to the Kingston's, knowing them as his second family and viewing Danni as his own brother. When he reached 7 years of age, Dorian was invited to come back with his Dad to Xavier's School. Ben wasn't exactly fond of the idea. No, to say that would be a massive understatement. The night the idea was brought up, Dorian was supposed to be asleep in his room. But as kids tended to do, he wasn't where he was supposed to be. He snuck out of his room, wanting to see if he could sleep with his dads, but as he rounded the corner towards their room he heard yelling. Muffled by the thick wooden doors of their home, but it was clear the subject matter was him and the school. Tears welled in his eyes as he quickly and quietly made his way back towards his room.

He had no powers to speak of and his Dad was still busy with the X-Men, but here he could learn, start school, and be closer to Max. Ben and Uncle Casper, had told him stories of this place, of his father Xavier and how horrible the man was. Dorian wasn't sure what to do. The following weeks were quiet in the household, facades placed before him as they pretended to be fine. Finally he spoke up. He wanted to be at Xaviers. He's spent so much time around other normal kids, he wanted to be around mutants for a change, even if the idea scared him a little.
When they arrived Dorian clung to his dad's pant leg as he entered, prompting Max to pick him up and carry him on his shoulders as they made their way through the expanse of a mansion.

It was different for Dorian, children and mutants running all around him and learning to control their powers while he was merely here to learn the basics. It was about this time that Dorian had begun to romanticize heroism and sword fighting. He waited for the day that they would visit the Kingston's each week, the adults getting together to talk about whatever it was they spoke of and him and Danni could sit in front of the television and watch their weekly show of She-Ra. It lit a fire in him and made him understand why his father did what he did even if it was with the X-Men. To be a hero, to save the world, and to know that even they have flaws and can be anyone, it spoke to Dorian in a way that he hardly understood. How any ordinary person could be a hero. So he studied the sword, he mimicked fighting techniques off the show, and most importantly he had his best friend and brother alongside him to fight crime with. It was just like the theme song said 'with mighty sword and flame we'll never fail you when you call our name.'

That was when another one of Appas life lessons came in. One day, after years at the academy, he had decided to take him somewhere private. Somewhere personal to him. It was his very own grave. There was a bit of heaviness to Dorian's chest, the idea that he was staring at the grave of his own Appa who stood right beside him. He wanted him to promise that he would be careful, to be safe. He needed to see just how dangerous being a hero truly was. And while Dorian had agreed to it, he didn't fully understand at that age, nor does he now. After all, Appa died before the Mutant Circuit, before his family was capable of bringing others back to life. To him, much like any other kid his age, he was invincible. But he'd never tell his parents that.

Dorian learned, and grew, spending most of his time at Xavier's and until he hit the age of 13. Life got a little weird there, he developed powers, found out he had the x-gene, and scared the crap out of his parents. That was the first time that Max had taken him and Ben to an old library, asked Doctor Strange and Wong for access to books on Astral Projection, and spent a majority of his time learning and teaching Dorian about his powers, the dangers, and ways to control them. Strange was...well strange. It was like Dorian's father was a different person around him, and it showed him a new side of his father he never got to see. But his childhood wasn't all study and practice, there were days, sometimes weeks, that Max would have off and even if he looked tired he would always come with a surprise. Family trips to Disney with the Mutant Underground, and those his father had met along the way of his life, impromptu vacations to Italy, Spain, Rome and more even as James protested.

Dorian was never a kid with wants. When your father has the power of magic, and can take you across the planet in less than a second of time then the world is quite literally your oyster. He always loved the trips with just the three of them, four if they could convince the Kingston's to allow Danni to come with. Dorian had heard tales of Max's...mishaps in his younger years, but that seemed so far ago and it always made him chuckle to see them all flustered with his dad's random worldwide trips. Sometimes they would just pop in with me, barely tell Uncle James, leave with Danni, then return less than a minute later having asked us to get the most touristy clothes we could find while gone. When we'd pop back to the Kingston's place we'd have large sunglasses, a splotch of sunscreen on our nose, and bright noisy clothes, it was one of the times Dorian could hear his father just laugh at the chaos and look on their faces. Sadly those Vacations would have to wait till summer once he turned 14, but it was a happy kind of sad.

Though Dorian couldn't see his family as often, he still had Danni. They got accepted to Avengers Academy (AA if you were one of the cool kids) and it was everything that they had worked for. Dee and Danni taking on the world and becoming heroes! There were...a few incidents where dad had to come in. Apparently the school didn't like it when someone possessed the lockers doors and flung them all open to scare other students. Or when someone snuck out of their room because it was too quiet. Really most of Dorians pranks were frowned upon, but someone had to livin' up the place, and a few of those pranks were just great pogger moments. Now its Junior year and its time to see what more they could learn about heroism and combat!

Personality

Dorian tries to be the life of the party. Alongside his best friend Danni, he never wants to let a moment die, trying to keep up the momentum and live life to the fullest. Ofcourse, all of that is pretty easy when your father has the ability to create things on a whim and your uncles command death and life respectively. Dorians never needed to consider any consequences because as far as he has been concerned there never were any. It's this sort of mindset that has lead to his more reckless behavior and allowed him to become quite the devious Prankster. After all within his first year at AA, Dorian spent a massive amount of time out in the field. Not caring for the physical education portion of his lectures, he decided to toss bird feed into the field and blow a whistle every day to call upon some pigeons. After a months of preparation when it came to the annual track meet, the coach blew the whistle only to have an insurmountable amount of pigeons flock down towards the fields and create utter chaos.

Dorian isn't all pranks and chaos however. He cares deeply for his friends and would do anything he can to help them. After all if he's learned anything from bith TV and real life, it's that the bonds you form along the way are what end up mattering the most in the end. He values loyalty and comradery amongst all else, and believes that friends shouldn't keep things from each other because it's the easiest way to allow a wedge to tear them apart. Though he's very doubtful that anything could ever tear him and his bestie apart.

History

There once was a kid named Mayra Pavon, daughter of an absolutely evil man. Imperator was a high-profile mercenary who worked for people he did not disclose to Mayra until she was around 10, and wanted to bring her under his wing. His reasons were varied, but one of them was to allegedly teach her to control her new abilities. Mayra wasn't given a choice, and so for the next two years, she was trained extensively in close-quarters combat by a man who could outthink her every move five minutes in advance. It was painful, being knocked on her ass every time she attempted to make a single swing on him, and it put a massive strain on her relationship with both Imperator and her mother, who believed she was simply away with her father on business trips. She never fully understood why things had to be this way, and she eventually rebelled against him in an act of rage.

One day when she was home, she confessed everything to her mother. Mayra told her everything, about her being a mutant, about the so-called training, even about Imperator's workshop. Unsurprisingly, she didn't believe most of that, but it didn't matter in the end, because Carlos Pavon came home just in time. When his wife questioned him, he didn't even react before he shot her. The whole house fell in on them. Imperator was a superhuman genius, but in his own hubris he failed to account for the possibility that Mayra's training had been more productive than he realized. There is nothing left of that house but a veritable mountain of stone and rubble.

She ran, and ran, and ran.

The rest is somewhat blurry in her mind, but she walked through the Arizona deserts for hours on her own, before eventually flying away on a rock when she came down from the emotional rollercoaster of watching her mother bleed out, and possibly burying her father alive. Mayra eventually found the Avenger's Academy, and used the opportunity to live a different life than what was destined for her. All she hopes now is that no one uncovers her history, or digs into legal records to see if her name is Leah or Mayra.

Personality

Leah has always been somewhat tough to read. She often prefers to just deal with problems the hard way and not make any attempt to convey how the feels. Letting people in or opening up is hard for Leah, because she feels weak and insecure when others have to go out of their way to tend to her. Leah regularly puts on a brave face and treats herself like she's invincible. Not out of arrogance, but out of a desire to be as little of a burden to those around her as possible, and because she has unresolved, bitter feelings towards his past that she doesn't want others to know about. None of that means she doesn't care about others, though. In fact, Leah can be viscerally protective of others who are in a position where they can't protect themselves. The victimized, the weak, and wounded are people she feels great sympathy for.

Beneath that stony exterior is a girl who feels conflicted towards herself. Deep down, Leah knows she can't deny where she came from, but refuses to acknowledge this and buries any trace of her home. Leah craves the act of living her own idea of being untouchable, she wants to be the strongest person in the world and build the highest walls because she's afraid of what could come back to haunt her. At the same time, Leah wants to be close to her friends, as much as possible, so she can be a part of their lives and be there for them when they may or may not need help. Even if she won't admit it to anyone, Leah is stuck between her insecurities and her own compassion for others. This can sometimes lead to self-destructive tendencies in which she exhausts herself to help people, but refuses to let them do anything in return.

Traits

• Abrasive: Leah rubs people the wrong way. She has trouble on Ego checks when persuading someone to help her, but an edge on Ego checks when trying to intimidate someone.
• Battle Ready: Leah is always mentally ready for battle, getting an extra 30 focus.
• Quick Learner: If Leah fails an action check, they gain an edge on the check if they try the same action gain on her next turn.

History
Zarina is the only child of Raynor Baldursen and Theresa Sparks (born as Lana Banner) on Earth 257 in the new Asgardian homeland of New Asgard up in Norway. She knew growing up that her parents had a bit of a complicated history that involved traveling to another reality or something like that. She never truly asked about it though, figuring that if they wanted to tell her about it, that they would. Though her life on Earth 257 wasn't exactly easy, considering the world that she lived in, and nothing would really change that, or so she thought anyway, but little did she know the life that fate had in store for her.

New Asgard had been settled by the Asgardians and several others from around the Nine Realms, and unfortunately many of this resulted in several not caring much for their life on Earth and trying to cause the fall of the Nine Realms in order to bring in the resurrection and new golden age. Might is the rule of the land, as if you are strong enough to do something, you can. The place is an untamed wild card of sorts with vikings and gods mixing together, and the country brings in most of it's wealth and such just by raiding other countries, it wasn't exactly something she really cared much for.

She grew up fairly close with her parents, her mother namely over her shared interest in machinery and circuits, and her father due to him teaching her fighting skills and telling her stories of her grandparents and what life was like back when Asgard was around. Zari loved hearing stories of the splendor of Asgard and the way things used to be, before everything came crashing down, resulting in the deaths of her grandparents Baldur and Nanna. Though the world that they lived in was not an ideal one, considering how things ran in New Asgard, but she did the best that she could, and was more then willing to trust others around her.

Her powers revealed themselves when she was 9 years old, but that didn't change much, because thanks to her mother, there was no shortage of electronics for her to mess with. Unfortunately for her, her powers were somewhat out of control in a way, though many speculated she might be able to control a lot of the technology on the planet when she's older, but right now, since she was so young, it took a lot of effort for her to do anything on a large scale, but she could do smaller things without too much of an effort, and that was enough for her to know easily what to do.

When she was 10 years old, she ended up being selected to train to become a Valkyrie, learning sword play and their ways relating to taking the souls to Valhalla and the like. It was an honor for her, and she did the best that she could to uphold their values and purpose in her training, however that sort of lifestyle wasn't meant to last. One day, she got a visit from the Norns, and that caused her to take a leave of absence from the Valkyries, as it was something important and it could not wait. She didn't really tell her parents about it, just telling them she had to go somewhere on a mission that could not wait.



Those were not kind words, but she did know a few things about it from some digging, and knew that she had to go back to the past, but not just to the past, but to another reality; the reality that her mother grew up in. She knew that her mother had a device for reality hopping, as she had friends in the reality dubbed Earth - 666 and would occasionally visit them. Taking the device, she used it to travel back to that world, before she modified the device and used it to travel to the past, landing in the year 2021, ironically the year that she had been born. Zari landed in Washington DC, having switched into standard Earth clothes before, as opposed to her armor, as she was fairly certain that the armor would stand out, so she left it at home. However she wasn't entirely alone, bringing along her robotic eyeball and robotic head in her bag (Mr. Eyeball and Mr. Jaws), to help her out a bit. She wasn't too sure what to think about the prophecy, but she knew that this was the place she needed to be.

Eventually, she landed in the year 2021, and wound up as a part of the Mutant Underground. Zari didn't exactly always mention to the group where she was from or mention anything like that, she just let them for a while assume that she was just a homeless kid with a weird eyeball floating around her. This adventure ended up leading her to Genosha, which is where she found out what the prophecy meant, and along with others took down the Roman Priestess Selene.

Afterwards, she went back home to her proper timeline and reality, dragging a new friend along with her, and to her parents, it had only really been an hour since they had last seen her, even though for Zari it had been a lot longer. To say that her father was a bit mad over what happened was a bit of an understatement, but after a little while, he managed to calm down over the whole situation (probably thanks to her mother's help). It wasn't until 2 months later that Zari ended up traveling back to Earth-666 in the present day in order to attend Avengers Academy. She did end up learning a few more things from the Valkyrie before she went, but now she was set to learn how to be an actual hero.

Personality
Zarina isn't exactly your typical girl when it comes to the way that her mind works. She is a smart individual who will do what she can to help others accomplish their goals, but sometimes her kindness is taken advantage of by people, as she is typically gullible when it comes to the way things work. She'll fall for most things that people tell her, no matter how absurd they are. Zari is friendly towards just about everyone that she meets, and will be nice to anyone and everyone, no matter who they are. She always gives others the benefit of the doubt, even if they've tricked her in the past.

Her curiosity can sometimes take a strange turn, as she'll sometimes make the occasional comment that could only be described as morbid. She's curious as to how the human body works and won't hesitate to ask weird (or sometimes gross) questions to help her curiosity. Also, her knowledge of random facts relating to death or how to kill someone is not exactly a very good sign. Because of her age, Zarina is a bit naive in the way the world works, despite everything that happens relating to mutants, she will try her best to look at the bright side. She remains a brave individual who will fight for those close to her, or who she considers to be friends/allies no matter the cost to her.

Origin: Mutant
Team: Excelsior

History
Zelda was born as the youngest daughter of Bonnie Chase and Frederick Flynn. Unlike her sister April, from a young age she always stuck more to herself, not so much wanting to cause issues or potentially get in the way, especially considering the jobs her parents had. She was only a few years old when they moved to Washington DC, so she doesn't really remember how things were in San Francisco. Her only home that she has known has always been on the east coast, and she prefers it to how things are supposedly over on the west side of the US.

Growing up, she never really felt confident in her own skin. Preferring to daydream a bit, and discovering a love of video games and comic books. It was always fun for her to imagine being someone else, whether that being a character in a game, or someone in one of her stories that she read. That's how she ended up discovering a love of cosplay! She basically ended up begging her parents to let her take some sort of sewing class just so she could learn how to make the costumes herself, and they did end up humoring her with her new hobby.

The first character she ever cosplayed as was Sheik, from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Zelda learned rather quickly how much more confident she felt when she was able to hide behind a mask, so when she continued on with her cosplays, she almost always chose a character of sorts that hid her appearance in some way. Like how she was literally named Zelda, but she'd only really go out and about in costume as Sheik instead. Preferring to hide, as that helped her to feel more confident and prepared to face everything in the world. Zelda went to conventions constantly whenever she was able to, and she had a fairly strong following on social media for her costumes, though she almost never showed her entire face to keep it so people didn't actually know it was her. She figured if she ever had a superhero costume, it would probably be based around Sheik's character model and design, and she actually started thinking about how different costume designs and all potentially were created to be durable, so she thought this was a fun thing to think about.

Personality
Zelda has always been one to prefer to keep to herself, not exactly being the best at talking to others and opening up about who she herself was. Though she is fairly nice to those that do find a way to befriend her, Zelda typically is difficult to fully befriend, as she is not the greatest when it comes to interacting at first with strangers. This all leads to her being insecure about most everything that she does, she thinks she's failed or does something wrong, even if others try to tell her otherwise. Despite what she tended to be told, that never seemed to change anything with how she viewed things.

Despite all of this, she is a rather smart girl and usually is pretty good at finding solutions to problems if need be. and will typically find some solutions whenever possible. Zelda also tends to be a bit on the creative side, tending to be a bit more on the artistic side with most everything that she does, it makes it a bit easier in general for her, especially considering what her hobby is. Though sometimes she can seem like she's quick to make choices, not always thinking through everything and being impulsive and quick to make decisions or jump to conclusions.

Traits

• Connections (SHIELD) - Zelda's parents work for SHIELD. By making an ego check, Zelda can call on them to provide help in the form of clues, information, or resources

• 2022: The ASTRA units proposed by Hope van Dyne in an effort to create a better artificial protector for Earth than Ultron and Vision. The idea's main design differences were:
  - Inclusion of emotion processing, so the units can form a bond to humans.
  - The system would consist of multiple, highly adaptable, individually intelligent units, each overall superior to a human, but not exceeding most of the superhumans in their specific abilities. This choice was intended to make them effective by overwhelming a threat with numbers and a broad portfolio of abilities, but to be easier to dispose of if some of the units went rogue.
• 2027: First intelligence that would become Victoria activated, being raised and taught by Hope as a human child would, albeit at vastly accelerated rate.
• 2030: Mobile hardware developed and Victoria takes her first steps. Colonel Rhodes recruited to help train her in her future role.
• 2035: Victoria makes connections with her 'family' and Warmachine and is generally functional as a member of society, marking the first successful milestone of the ASTRA program.
• 2036: Victoria is recommended to the academy, both to continue sharpening her abilities, and also to start gathering intelligence on potential future threats.
• 2037: Spent her tenure on the academy relatively lonely, catching up on skills she needed to operate her armor properly. At the end of the second year, Rhodes encouraged her to develop her social skills more.
• 2038: Start of Victoria's third year at the academy.
• Sep. 14th, 2038: Victoria qualifies for the CoC.
• Sep. 15th, 2038: Victoria is selected to lead the Uncanny Avengers.
• September 2038: Victoria discloses her real nature to the first person.
• Oct. 18th, 2038: Victoria starts having the first doubts about how AA is ran.
• Oct. 31st, 2038: Halloween monster mash.
  • Ultron is almost released from inside Victoria.
  • Victoria starts doubting her family bonds.
  • She confirms admins have a backdoor to force her to act according to their orders, and disables an admin order forcing her to hide her to hide her true nature. She is unable to disable admin orders altogether.
• Nov. 23rd, 2038: Arcade's soft launch.
  • Arcade takes over Victoria, forcing her to try and kill the others.
  • Victoria kills Andy.
  • The conflict between her purpose and her relationship with Hope van Dyne, fuelled by what Victoria thinks of as defficiencies in her design, causes Victoria to reject that relationship.
• Nov. 29th, 2038:
  • Victoria continues to be plagued by her failure to resist Arcade's hacking, as well as doubts whether her will is her own, or if she is secretly under admin order influence. She reflects on her scattering focus and resolves to fix her issues.
  • She brings her disagreement about how the school is run out in public.
  • The subject of her self termination attempt is brought up, forcing the headmaster to act on it. Victoria withdraws from the CoC, citing her dislike of the concept and needing time to fix her head.
• ???: Victoria's armor is rendeded nonfunctional to the point of repairs being impossible. Only her weapons remain operational.

Personality

Victoria’s motivation to become a hero has taken a heavy hit in her third year at the academy, especially after being forced to kill one of their classmates against her will by another, however temporary that situation was. She believes in doing the greater good, even more so than before, and lost almost all inhibitions in working towards that goal. She still believes the ‘innocent until proven guilty’ concept, but where some crimes might land you in prison for a decade, Victoria might just kill you on the off chance that you may not reform while doing your time. Second chances are asking for trouble in her book.

She joined the academy out of the desire to help people, and be the best at it as she can be. A purpose she will pursue with unrelenting zeal, and she openly believes that people that joined the academy for any other purpose are lesser for it.

Her true nature allows her to be highly adaptable to any given situation in the pursuit of that purpose. She can run a thousand simulations of possible actions while a regular human will think of one, and optimize her approach to a task. And unlike many others, she will consider, and where appropriate use, underhanded tactics, lie, backstab and kill, if it results in a better outcome for more people than acting honourable, morally and within the law. Letting the thousand die so that the million lives is the correct decision in her book - provided those are the only two options available.

Being a machine, she is highly intelligent, however her interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence scrape the bottom of the barrel, making her sound blunt, oftentimes sarcastic or cold and on occasion downright cruel.
