Affiliations:
The Mercs - Occasionally works with the Heroes if they are doing something similar to what she needs to do.
Serenity doesn't have much of costume as she knows that people should be wary of her skill and often times appear with a white duster coat that covers her all the way down to her heels of her leg. Along with the coat, seems to have a hood attached to it looking like it was part of the duster itself letting her cover her head and prevent her face from being seen a bit. The cloak itself is fairly sturdy to everyday use but it can sustain a surprising amount of damage before becoming tattered and falling off. She usually wears her casual tight jeans that are actually quite comfty letting her move around. As for her shirt is usually a short sleeve underneath a long sleeve that is usually black or some other dark color.
Serenity was only 18 when she was in an assembly for her graduation, as she was naively happy for her day which she was going to graduate and head on to college however, unknown to her a group of metahuman teenagers who knew that they werent going to graduate due to their own stupidity assaulted the assembly. At first it was for jokes and they were going to leave with just disturbing the assembly and leave with few people injured. It quickly escalated when another student fought back but was quickly killed by the group of 6 rebel teenagers. Then came the on-campus police, and then the gunshots... well you know where this is going right? With them trapped in the auditorium with only two entrances and exits being one in the back and one in the front, the group was wedged in the middle as two police man have them pincered. So like dogs in a corner they lashed out with everything they had against them obviously killing them along with other students and parents. At that point they thought of this as being 'fun' and decided to brutally murder everyone, having 4 of their members stopping anyone from escape at the two exits killing anyone who tried. While two were in the center clearing out their respective halves, they were killing everyone if they didn't do something however these teenagers had experimented with their abilities quite some time now as you might imagine as they already probably killed someone with their powers of theirs before.
Her friends were killed quiet quickly actually, they were one of the several who tried to stop this 'peacefully' while few of them scrambled off trying to escape but few actually escaping. Combined efforts of the students did managed to break off the front part of the auditorium letting that half of the students escape, they all killing the two metahumans who were guarding that exit. However the bottom side of the auditorium was still trapped as most have been killed now. Among the littered bodies of her friends and family members who she saw and hated, but even she didn't want them dead... She could easily identify them with them dressing all fancy and how nice they were for this special day, but now that all ruined because of them...
That was when her normally milky white blades of judgement turned a light blue color glowing immensely with her emotions all tangled up in them using them to kill these people who had wrongfully killed her friends for doing nothing, for their own stupidity for failing their own poor miserable lives. She would quickly end them for being a stain on this planet that no one needs. Sure she might be a little racist but she was right that some people didn't deserve to live in a world this peaceful while they just go around being stupid. With her thoughts finally collected, she struck the 4 remaining teenagers, with cold judgement pleas of atonement ignored as as her cold stare pierced through their puny souls, knocking them out... for latter. Although they had more experience with their abilities they were definetly weaker in terms of sheer power, as she easily dodged their attacks as they were useless against her even though inexperienced, she used what she knew to over maneuver them and knock them out very painfully while still keeping them alive.
After taking down the 4 teenager she dragged them together and tied them all up and covered their eyes and restrained any kind of movement they could try and do. And when they awoke, it wasn't pretty as a cold voice told them that they would all die soon, but painfully as their torture began. Their lives could not even tip the scale of death for the many potential lives those people had and could of have. While their uselessness would just rot into nothing. So she ended them very slowly and painfully as they died the most painful way she could think of, as she was not the typical person you would meet with powers that didn't like them. In fact she loved using her powers, its just that her friends advised her not to be so public about it... and since their dead, well... the beast has been unchained has it not? So with water intoxication with a hose, water dripping onto a person head actually works and can make people made actually! But besides that another she found entertaining was the tires filled with gasoline and set alight, but you get what I mean right? She is a very unique person with a unique set of skills to use when pushed to the limits!
After her guilty pleasure from torturing her schools killers she left them suffering eventually to die as they will from what the torture technique she preformed will certain do in a matter of time. If you simply researched the torture methods she used it would be easily to see what they do, beside what she would explain of it would be too gruesome for some audiences reading this. But anyways after the school event, she was officially graduated several days latter at a temporary location and quickly left school for college trying to get her life back to normal. Her strange emotions of that day had disappeared from her but had scarred her deeply in her consciousness... why did she do that? What made her do those cruel things to those teenagers, that basically makes her one of them? She didn't know and thus left her school to find out more of why she delivered that kind of justice and not a swift death?
Twin-Sides of Judgment's Sword:
The main ability that Serenity possesses is the power to call upon 8 mystical longswords that she can command to deliver judgement against her opponents. These swords are a combination of her emotions that lie in her subconscious, while normally being blue these swords have been turned into light-blue. These swords are stronger than any sword that man kind has ever made and are sturdier than even magically created one normally made from spells of spellcasters. These blades are used to deal judgement to people and do not offer themselves to protect Serenity herself as they only care about finding a host to do their bidding. Although she can try to defend with them she simply cannot as these swords seems to avoid getting needlessly damaged to protect such disposable resource, being her. So in sense these swords all commit to going in on the offensive trading in all defensive power for supremacy in offensive combat. However their is one single blade that she summons that is willing to protect its holder, which she always keeps materialize and after so long after not being returned back into its matterless form, it has gain its own physical appearance.
Her skill in using the Judgment Swords are extremely adept and can easily command them with little hesitation. Her fluid commands helps her involve her commands into a dance. A single sword can only be wielded by her at a time which doesn't count against her when using, allowing her to use the rest of the 8 swords which can be mentally commanded to dance along with Serenity. The sword in her hand is similar to the 8 others that are floating around however this sword has detailed metalworking on the sword showing that this was a real sword unlike the other 8 magical ones. This sword is probably the most effect defense she has against other opponents attacks, blocking, parrying and evading their attacks were the options she had.
Serenity's final passive ability is that she can see attacks that are directly for her and she can try to defend against them. However these calculation happens seconds before the attack connects, making it difficult for her to properly defend against attacks.However there are other ways of defending against physical attacks while on the other hand, projectiles are given more time to react to. The only problem is if that projectile isn't something she can hit with her sword properly then she cant defend against it. On the other hand if used offensively she after several attacking her opponent several times can discover some of their weaknesses and see familiar attack patterns to avoid in future scenario. Using this ability to the fullest, she is able to see probable actions that the opponent might take when she attacks. Letting her preform combos at a astonishing rate with quite some accuracy as her Calculation reads the muscle movement of her opponents making her calculations quite accurate.
During her High schools Years she was a Track member, who was always in the handful who were the top of the sport. She was around the lower middle of that handful as she was indeed faster than most of them in short races however lacked the stamina after such burst of speed. So she was only good in those shorter races always being in the top 5 in those. Longer races were tough luck to her as she never was in the top anything in those as she usually gave up around a third of the way. But never the less she is a fast person but she easily gets worn down if she ever tries bursting forward very fast in a small amount of time.
Also during High School and the little time she spent in College for free, she had a scholarship in tennis due to the fact that she was a great sprinter and dash to those tricky spots that opponents usually aimed for back into the corner able to get saves to her team if she was in a duo. When alone her speed and eye-hand coordination was on point, as she was able to reach for balls that often seemed impossible to get either due to her positioning or how fast the ball was. Often having showdown with her opponent by sending fast balls at each other to see if they could keep up with their increasing speed. She often won these competition except for a small handful where she either was overconfident, made a mistake or the rarest of them, was outmatched in skills simply.
The equipment she usually have on her are:
Her Metal Sword that she usually hides and wraps up with her Duster cloak. Besides that, that all the special thing she carries which is basically her costume and weapon.
Please know that when dealing the Serenity to expect the unexpected to appear as her personality is all over the place. Thus she is only friends to... unique-er type of people who have the same spastic personality like she does.
Ranking: B?
