<br />
=Appearance=<br />
M's look is relatively straightforward. Those who are unfamiliar will be able to immediately peg him as some kind of spellcaster - and they would not be entirely incorrect. He is still a standard combatant however, as there is a hefty axe on his back and a simple blade sheathed on his side. He may have some vials strapped to his arms, their function is not readily known.<br />
<br />
His eyes glow, giving a mystical smoke that can be better seen when he moves his head. When he smiles, glowing red sharklike teeth can be seen, it's a wonder how the man can even speak at all. When he does, it's distorted and darkly, but understandable.<br />
<br />
He speaks plainly but may have a dark sense of humor depending on his mood. As is his element, his personality can be all over the place, but one thing is for certain; He wears his emotions on his sleeves. If his speech is quick and witty, he's in a decent mood. If it's slow, low, and dark, he's impatient or angry. He's very easy to read in that regard but his face is completely hidden by a black veil, so one cannot see any facial expressions.<br />
=Recent Affairs=<br />
M has come to this timeline and survey its potential of invading with his Vanguard to see if they are either worthy of his presence, or require the repairs he offers.<br><br />
This is unlikely due to the high concentration of super-powered heroes that may prove to be a resistance to his armies. [[Kyna]] is surveying alongside him, however she already believes it is a no-go.<br />
<br />
His actions have been incredibly visible. His lack of innocent life being taken is the only thing allowing him not to be marked as a Villain (Also thanks to Kyna's interference and in some cases... bribery). As a battlemage, his "help" usually results in hefty property damage and a lot of dead criminals, which is looked down upon with Champions. As a result he has not been given access to hero-related systems and communications. He doesn't seem to care, and a large trail of bodies continue to follow in his wake.<br />
<br />
=Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Like anyone else, he encompasses a wide variety of emotions. But given his nature of Madness, they can switch between anything at the drop of a hat. The only emotion he seems to lack is Sadness, due to anything that would have made him sad is now long gone. He's not made of stone, however... His main emotion is apathy, with a hint of dark humor when the mood strikes him.<br />
<br />
He has always been difficult to diagnose for humans. He's not a psychopath because he does encompass empathy. He's not a sociopath because he is aware of his actions and their consequences. He's a mixture of it all, and it leaks into his personality. People who meet him one day may find him jovial and joke-making. Two days later they may find him grim and angry. He is two sides of every coin.<br />
<br />
Conversely to his [[Kyna|partner in the universe]], M prefers to live in squalor. Usually basements where the floor cannot even be seen as it's usually covered with odd, failed experiments and machinations of varying severity. He does not seem to care about his own body, which makes sense considering his indestructible nature. He knows nothing can harm or change it, so he does not waste a lot of time changing or washing. (Though he does lack general body odor, his dirtiness is mostly visual).<br />
<br />
=Weaknesses=<br />
Not easily noted. Light/Holy energy can weaken him to an extent but probably not a decent lasting strategy.<br><br />
Oddly enough, his vanity can be taken advantage of. Being challenged to a direct "duel" of sorts will stop him from doing major area damage, and take on the challenge from one individual at a time. He's no joke with a blade, however, and is an effective martial artist even in heavy, mystic armor.<br><br />
Still, someone clever and skilled enough may cause him to back down.<br><br />
Primary strike spots would probably be his face or legs. The back of the knee is lesser armored, but the face is probably the best place to strike.<br />
If his physical form is damaged too much, he'll flee to his Madrealm where his body is repaired, giving heroes or groups of heroes time to make their way elsewhere.<br />
<br />
Generally, headshots are the most reliable. While this may enrage him and cause him to be more destructive, get enough hits and he may flee in order to regenerate what is left of his face.<br />
<br />
=Nemesis=<br />
Matthias has a habit of murdering anyone who may pose even a vague threat. Budding heroes, hostile politicians, targeted Vampire Lords... Nobody really seems to live long enough to be branded as a "Nemesis" to him. They do however come in the form of the more intelligent battlemages and vampire lords.<br />
<br />
Battlemagi are among the few types magic-users that can hold their own against Matthias, given the hostile and offensive nature of Battle-magic.<br />
Vampire Lords tend to crop out of Matthias' past due to him wiping out entire clans. These lords were probably just soldiers or servants of their previously killed leaders, but rose against Matthias and formed their own clan to fight against him.<br />
<br />
But then, there's the more obvious [[Alistair]], but is more of a nuisance than a Nemesis.<br />

*Ask @ZydrateAnatomy if you are interested in interacting with this character.<br />
*He can, however, be occasionally found sitting in a corner in Club Caprice. It's a hub of demonic presence, he likes to get a read on their threat levels for future "use".<br />

===OOC Trivia===<br />
*This character is an overly complicated being I've had since a young age, built for my imaginative mind to help defend against nightmares. He'd combat everything that would be dubbed as a Nightmare, and thus I haven't ever lost sleep due to them. Due to my adolescent innocence, his original concept was an Angel. He's morphed into the being you see here, a sign of my growing cynicism and otherwise mental degradation.<br />
*The Statistics listed vary on mood and scenario.<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
<br />
The Matriarch is clad head to toe in stylized robes with light armor lacing the cloth. She dons a hood but even when that's down, her face is hidden behind a mask wherein only her glowing orange eyes can be seen.<br><br />
Beyond that, her skin can only be sighted in a couple of places. Her neck, the back of her head when her hood is down, and her gloves have two slots on her palms, presumably to facilitate blood magic.<br />
<br />
She is sometimes seen with a decorative cape with bloody designs upon them, but sometimes she is seen without it.<br />
Strapped to one of her arms are several Phylacteries that shimmer green energy.<br><br />
Sheathed on both of her hips are a basic fencing blade and a Ritual Dagger. The first for general combat and defense, the second to cut into her palms and use blood magic upon her enemies.<br />
<br />
=Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
<br />
The Matriarch is not a social person and being the leader of a cult usually means her actions are in an administrative capacity. She hears complaints, and has the final word on various situations. She speaks in a slow, low tone, and utilized the English language to its fullest capacity.<br><br />
Some may find this intimidating, but her mental processes work differently and she doesn't quite understand why her version of "small talk" seems condescending to others. Her compliments are often (accidentally) underlined with veiled insults, when in truth she really is trying to be sociable. This "effect" fades once she gets to know someone after a length of time, but this is rare as she keeps people at arm's length.<br><br />
Most people that meet her often find her sitting, reading, and sipping at the occasional wineglass. Very few see her depths, which involves a surprisingly lovely singing voice and a very poetic mind.<br />
<br />
= Arrival =<br />
Her efforts to explore the newly located Millenium City, The Matriarch had found herself at a local coffee shop. She was pleased to see that her garb did not warrant various odd looks from the local populace, though her darkly demeanor did give citizens cause for some alarm. This came in the form of averted gazes, women shuffling their children away in hushed tones, and dealing with the general assumption of her villainy.<br />
<br />
She sighed in contempt for those who surrounded her as she casually strolled in the aforementioned shop to order herself an sweetened and iced coffee, presumably mocha in flavor however it could have been another blend. The removal of her mask did not reveal much to those who braved looking upon her, as her hood continued to veil her upper face. For those who bothered to look, the lower portion of her face revealed that her veins had been blackened and led down through her neck and cowl, only cementing the assumptions that the patrons of the Shoppe had already given her.<br />
<br />
This made her casual presence and uncaring demeanor all the more jarring, for people who dress as she does are usually in the process of pestering heroes and Champions, screaming about stolen weapons, this, that, and the other thing. However The Matriarch remained eerily silent, only offering a slow nod to anyone who gave her a greeting. She stepped outside, located a table specifically designed for coffee-buyers to drink their beverage and enjoy the weather. The weather, of which, was brisk but pleasant.<br />
<br />
She had been in the city for only a week, but her problems continued to haunt her as an old acquaintance silently stepped into her visual range and claimed a seat, uninvited. Beneath her hood, her eyes narrowed, giving another sigh of contempt at her visitor.<br />
<br />
"And so, you find me," she says slowly, as is her way.<br><br />
"I never lost you, Matriarch," the man answered. She groaned in annoyance, expecting such a response.<br><br />
"It would be in both our interest, and in the interest of your health - If you leaved me alone," an ultimatum given by the Matriarch to her visitor.<br><br />
"You know I cannot do that, Matriarch," the man spoke her title as if recognizing her authority, yet speaking as an equal. She gave an incomprehensible grumble and he continued, "You are far too dangerous."<br><br />
"And you are far too annoying, Headmaster," she insulted. Her voice leaked with condescension.<br><br />
The man, identified as The Headmaster stood from his seat. It seemed he planned on keeping the interaction brief, merely announcing his presence. "Our paths end when one of us does."<br><br />
To which, she nodded in agreement. This is a fact she has resigned to live with. "Until that happens."<br><br />
"Until indeed." With that, the man identified as The Headmaster casually strolled across the street and into the unknown.<br />
<br />
The Matriarch remained with her beverage, relieved in the once-again silence of the early morning.<br />
<br />
= A Viper in the Grass =<br />
The Headmaster had arranged a meet in a Library that was, more or less, bought out by Viper operatives. The tunnels below served as a useful entry point into Millennium City and was a very low profile location for precisely this reason.<br><br />
While he did not meet the Supreme Serpent himself, he met with a highly ranked operative. He expected this as The Headmaster is not a terribly known name as of yet, though he expected the funds he was waving around would have been enough to catch the grand leader’s attention. This was not so, in his stead were a dozen or so masked men.<br><br />
This, too, made a level of sense to him. These masked operatives usually had normal lives of their own in their off-time. Perhaps many of them were normal citizens throughout the hours of the day, and perhaps this is just a job to them rather than adhere to their overall philosophies.<br />
<br />
Or perhaps The Headmaster was thinking too much and the VIPER are as disgusting as the world thinks they are.<br />
<br />
All the same, they were well connected and had resources that he needed access to. Specifically, a weapon that he plans to both aim at Ravenrooke, since he is currently unaware of his enemy’s current haunt.<br />
<br />
He brought his own entourage of vampire associates, and the VIPER probably outnumbered them by a 3 to 1 ratio. This didn't matter, he could bring them all to their knees single handed if it came to such. As it was, he remained unoffended and respected their caution.<br />
<br />
The lead operative in question was a woman, garbed similarly to general Nest Leaders so he deduced that she led this particular group. She introduced herself as “[[Mira]]”, and was a bit gruff in demeanor. For the moment, she only respected his currency. Not him.<br />
<br />
She had ordered a few other operatives to bring in an over-sized case that when opened, revealed a complex series of screens and buttons. <br />
<br />
The Headmaster sighed, and Mira caught onto this and stated, “My operative will brief you on its use. Used correctly, it could destroy a large portion of Millennium City, which would impress my superiors.”<br><br />
He asked, “How many uses does this one give?”<br><br />
Mira mentioned, “It comes with four in total, you’ll have to pay for extra shots.”<br><br />
"That should be more than enough. For now, it’s not going to be aimed at the city. Not yet, anyway."<br><br />
"Any estimation on when you will?" <br><br />
The Headmaster raised a brow upon this, “I don’t rightly know. I have a very specific enemy I am aiming to hurt. She has a base elsewhere at the moment but she’s here, in Millennium City. Once I find out where… THEN maybe we’ll talk.”<br><br />
"Good to know," Mira said. It was at that moment a couple of the Infiltrator types came fleeing down the hall and through the double doors. <br><br />
He yelped, “We have someone busting through our guards! Creepy chick with a mask!”<br />
<br />
Mira was confused for a moment but The Headmaster immediately identified the intruder. “Use your infiltrators against her. If she can’t see her enemy, we’ll be able to retreat properly.”<br><br />
She nodded at her acquaintance and ordered precisely that, not wanting to get in the way of a feud between a couple of Blood Mages. They retreated towards the upper level of the Library, where a back door was waiting for them.<br />
<br />
The Matriarch was swift however, and was able to kick down the doors and gaze at her enemy. He looked back, light reflecting off his glasses like a soulless void. He said nothing, the exchange was over. The VIPER had their payment and his vampire hirelings carried his super-weapon away. He followed closely behind.<br />
<br />
The Matriarch yelled an expletive at him, she was prepared to advance but she suddenly felt a force across her body, propelling her into a table. She saw a shimmer, a distortion in the air. Several of them. She quickly deduced she had cloaked enemies and adjusted her strategy accordingly. She maintained a stance, fighting the invisible foes.<br />
<br />
[[File:MvsV2.png|left|200px]]They proved to be… adequate. When she blocked one attack, her leg was kicked out from another. When she repelled an attack against her other leg, she received a swift knee to the mask. While the mask is tempered with magic and science, the force is still unpleasant and she fell backward into the floor.<br><br />
She had to take several moments to reassess the situation, she finally detected a kick to her abdomen and was able to grasp the assailant’s leg and throw him into some glass bookcases, where his cloak glitched out of existence. She promptly crushed his throat, and heard an audible “Urgh!” from one of the others. Another one fled up the stairs, not wanting to face her. She tried to advance but she had a few infiltrators left, impeding her progress.<br />
[[File:MvsV4.png|right|200px]]<br />
The battle went on for several minutes which annoyed The Matriarch. Her martial arts served her well but her enemies were just as trained, and continuously cloaked. She held them off moderately unscathed and defeated one or two more, until a certain point caused the final few to retreat. She presumed that simply meant their leader was now at a safe distance, which only meant that The Headmaster, the greatest threat of them all, was now out of her reach.<br />
<br />
This wouldn't do. She shuddered at the thought of the weapon she attained, and figured there was nothing for it. She had to contact one of the Champions.<br />
<br />
=Powers / Abilities=<br />
<br />
The Matriarch's powers are extensive due to living well beyond millenia. She has touched on just about every forbidden magic she has been able to get her hands on. From the dangerous study of Vitae to the madness of Qlipothic energies, she's studied and used it all at some point.<br />
<br />
However, her primary focus (As it always has been), is Blood Magic. She is able to manipulate most organic lifeforms and can otherwise use blood to fuel various combative magics. To this end, she usually has some on hand in various containers.<br />
<br />
Her absolute control over blood magic allows her to heal at an almost insane level - to the point of restructuring bones and returning lost limbs.<br />
<br />
== Powered Armor ==<br />
[[File:MatriarchArmor3.png|150px|left]]<br />
(( To Be Written))<br />
<br />
=Weaknesses=<br />
<br />
As her statistics represent, her primary focus is that of magic. While she might be able to pierce the usual fare of anti-magical fields, there are still places where her usefulness is diminished.<br />
<br />
Firstly, she has limited range. Her primary form of combat is Blood, which relies heavily on line of sight. If she cannot see her enemy, chances are she is not currently using a spell against them.<br />
<br />
Secondly, she doesn't have much in the way of technological superiority. Her blades are usually simple, though her Ritual Dagger is ornate and specially crafted (But is not used for general combat). She wears light armor at best because of her ability to regenerate rapidly.<br />
<br />
Also, while she can use most organic blood as fuel for her magic, she is often tripped up by finding a creature or species whose blood she is unfamiliar with. This is detrimental for general control so instead she attempts to retrieve some blood and flee, for further study so that she may later be able to face the enemy.<br />
<br />
She may have the dexterity, endurance (etc) of an Athlete, most of her general body conditioning is not specially superhuman.<br />
<br />
The usual strategy of killing someone with rapid healing is decapitation. This does work to a certain extent, however her soul is split across the world (and even the universe), so her soul would simply be recycled after an incalculable amount of time. She tries to avoid this however, as it's not a comfortable process and it would take her out of whatever she's doing, from days to months.<br />
<br />
She operates under different thought processes than most, uses large words, and doesn't think much of anyone around her. As a result, she is typically not well liked upon a first impression and it is not ideal for her to be in heavily social situations.<br />
<br />
<br />

[[File:The Headmaster.png|300px|left]]<br />
The Headmaster is an extremely powerful Blood Mage that took The Matriarch under his wing, back when she was still known as "Livia". He had been leader of the cult for around a hundred and fifty years before Livia came around. He had suffered through all the political and public issues that still affect the cult today.<br />
<br />
He was very kind to Livia, reminding him of himself. She looked at the forbidden arts as another puzzle to uncover, not a means of power and control. He had the same philosophy, which was the reason the cult was so renowned as being "one of the only good ones".<br />
<br />
Under his patronage, Livia spent the next century or so within the vast halls of the underground. Her interest in the forbidden arts caught the attention of local Magisters, but The Headmaster was always there to cover her side, in an almost lawyer-like capacity.<br />
<br />
When the mid to late 1900's rolled around, the Gnosis cult was undergoing one of its greatest golden ages (There weren't many). Under The Headmaster's patronage, Gnosis Genealogia was a respected mystical organization until a series of two events slingshot them back down into the "Murder Incorporated" type stereotype.<br />
<br />
It began with their Patron, a blood God named ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦. The cult had begun having issues with an unnamed splinter group. It was a powerful student and several of his closest confidants. They began a ritual to exploit it, their initial plans was to tap into its power directly. After a time they decided to attempt to absorb it directly.<br><br />
The head of this group took a large portion of the cult under the guise of an "Experiment", a common term at the time. It was there that their ritual mostly succeeded - just not into the intended target. Instead, Livia was present and she then absorbed the entity, giving her several millenia worth of information.<br />
<br />
The Headmaster arrived with several of his top Professors and the student who led this Ritual was executed within minutes. They turned to Livia, and brought her to the highest of magical hierarchy at the time. This was an attempt at diplomacy, a sign of good will that they still bow to the laws.<br />
<br />
She was held in a castle for a few weeks while The Headmaster, as usual, continued to be on her side with the higher ups. She defended herself well, showing everyone that she had no plans to meltdown into a power trip that the original group had planned.<br />
Eventually the castle came under attack by enemy necromancers and thanks to the present Blood Mage's aid, repelled the attack.<br />
<br />
Livia, having been instrumental in the defense of a few of the world's greatest Magisters, was then rewarded her Mask and title of "The Matriarch". She then began teaching within the cult, as her expertise was near The Headmaster's himself.<br />
<br />
The reputation of Blood Mages in general was never better - but this age of respect did not last long.<br />
<br />
Several months had past and The Matriarch met with The Headmaster. Between the lines of the conversion, she had deduced that he was behind most of what had happened to her - starting with the Ritual.<br><br />
It was he, whom arranged his top student to attempt it.<br><br />
It was he, whom gave necromancers the intel needed to attack.<br><br />
It was he, whom arranged Livia specifically to be the greatest defense of the attack. He ordered the students present to back off while Livia took the brunt of the necromancer's hostility, coming out on top. Looking like a hero, and improving the reputation of his cult and Blood Mages in general.<br />
<br />
He betrayed his top student and betrayed Livia, pushing her up beyond her station.<br />
<br />
She did not immediately mention how hurt she was by this, that she should have earned her own way with the Magisters.<br><br />
She continued this by going to the Magisters themselves and informing them of all she had learned. They respected her trust and The Headmaster was made an enemy of all who use magic.<br />
<br />
The Matriarch was then promoted by the Magisters to lead Gnosis Genealogia, though their numbers had diminished after the public reveal of The Headmaster's treachery.<br />
<br />
He continues to respect The Matriarch and her power, but their methods and philosophy became too different and are now enemies. It is a very polite rivalry, and one that is a bit too evenly matched for The Matriarch's comfort. However they both plan to execute each other, whenever the opportunity presents itself.<br />

==RP Hooks==<br />
<br />
*Wizards high up in the hierarchy of their chosen organization might have heard or read about Gnosis Genealogia or the Matriarch at some point. Spellcasters and mystics of lesser rank could happen upon a Tome or something that mentions one or both of them as well.<br />
**By extension, higher ranked Mystics would probably be privvy to the information blacked out above. If you wish to interact with her and think your character would know about it, then it can be discussed prior to the interaction.<br />
*Random walk-ups might be a bit tricky so I would recommend sending a /tell with your intentions.<br />

=Trivia=<br />
<br />
*I like to imagine her with the Jack of Blades mask, or a very close equivalent.<br />
**She doesn't actually "Hide" her face. She wears the mask because she likes it (And would say just this to anyone who inquires). It also has some cult relevance, see that section for details.<br />
**To add, she would remove it to eat or drink, giving people a good view of her face if positioned properly.<br />
**By extension, her name isn't that much of a secret either and would share it if directly asked, however she prefers her title.<br />
*She is only "Lawful Evil" in the sense of order and scale. She's more of an Anti-Villain and doesn't harbor antagonistic plans against any populace.<br />
*A lot of my lore works under a Multiverse concept and as a result, Livia is actually one of many "Duplicates" of Kyna. They look about the same, though Livia has a few mutations so someone would only be able to point out the similarities if they were literally standing next to each other.<br />
*She shares a similar origin story and motivation as [[Kiur]].<br />
*This character is inspired by the Bloodbending Concept from The Last Airbender mythos, however I also borrow the "mechanics" of blood magic from Dragon Age II.<br />

=Appearance=<br />
Allein dresses in a practical mixture of armor and robes, often tempering her flesh with chainmails or light sheets of armor beneath anything that looks to be cloth.<br />
<br />
She has yet to be seen in casual clothing but when the mood strikes her, she's usually found in ornate dresses.<br />
<br />
=Brief History=<br />
Allein Dakür was an experimental subject of the [[Madgod Matthias|Madgod]] and the first [http://vanguarddatabase.wikia.com/wiki/Trahl'es'das Trahl'es'da]. Her surnames have varied from Dakker, Dakaa, and other variants. She also briefly held the title "Mindflayer", which was a derogatory after the slaughter of her fellows.<br />
<br />
[[File:Allein Art.jpg|left|250px]]<br />
<br />
She was once a demon (Not of the hellborn variety, the name of the species varies depending on where she is at the time). Instead of murdering her parents outright, the Madgod manipulated the circumstances surrounding her birth (which resulted in the death of both parents) as well as the course of the rest of her life. Her race once saw the light but he robbed her of that connection and instead replaced it with a corrupted shadow that he begun experimenting with.<br />
<br />
As the "Subject Zero" of this tinkering, her history became wrought with slaughter which contributed to the deterioration of her mind and reputation. She received every "update" to the Trahlesda species, and was the first to obtain every ability in their normal skillset.<br />
<br />
It's speculated that in raw power, Allein surpasses [[Kyna]] Vance herself. However she lacks the general thought processes to outsmart situations. As a result, Allein was an "Enforcer" of many of the Vanguard's operations and Shadowcrest's underbelly.<br />
<br />
She was brought in through several of the Vanguard's wars, including [http://vanguarddatabase.wikia.com/wiki/The_Vanguard_Campaign The Vanguard Campaign], after which she remained on Earth for many years.<br />
<br />
Through the sustaining of Earth's now vulnerable and war-torn status, Allein was sent to secure a small mountain town named Ravenrooke. However the detioration of her mental faculties led to a misunderstanding and she led her shadow minions to the slaughter of 90,000 humans. This was not the first time Allein murdered innocents, however this was her highest death toll yet.<br />
<br />
Her grief caused a major depression as well as a mental breakdown. The Madgod banished her to the Madrealm's depths. In her broken status, she acted as a kind of recordkeeper for various information that flowed through there.<br />
<br />
She remained there for an incalculable amount of time. She was visited rarely, primarily by adventurers seeking secrets or previous lovers checking up on her condition.<br />
<br />
After a certain point however, the Madgod conscripted a small team of heroes to delve directly into her mind to repair it.<br />
<br />
The mission was a success and she eventually woke up, though she was immediately sent to another realm where she can work for the people and eventually redeem herself for previous mistakes.<br />
<br />
= Recent Affairs =<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle =<br />
Allein has shed much of her previous aggression and is outwardly pleasant to most who approach her. Though, like anyone else, if she is overtly disrespected she'll respond in kind.<br />
<br />
While still identifying herself as a cleric or healer, she's far from a pacifist. She'll engage in combat when forced, otherwise she will actively avoid it. <br />

Her surnames have varied from Dakker, Dakaa, and other variants. She also briefly held the title "Mindflayer", which was a derogatory after the slaughter of her fellows.<br />
<br />
[[File:Allein Art.jpg|left|250px]]<br />
<br />
She was once a demon (Not of the hellborn variety, the name of the species varies depending on where she is at the time). Instead of murdering her parents outright, the Madgod manipulated the circumstances surrounding her birth (which resulted in the death of both parents) as well as the course of the rest of her life. Her race once saw the light but he robbed her of that connection and instead replaced it with a corrupted shadow that he begun experimenting with.<br />
<br />
As the "Subject Zero" of this tinkering, her history became wrought with slaughter which contributed to the deterioration of her mind and reputation. She received every "update" to the Trahlesda species, and was the first to obtain every ability in their normal skillset.<br />
<br />
It's speculated that in raw power, Allein surpasses [[Kyna]] Vance herself. However she lacks the general thought processes to outsmart situations. As a result, Allein was an "Enforcer" of many of the Vanguard's operations and Shadowcrest's underbelly.<br />
<br />
She was brought in through several of the Vanguard's wars, including [http://vanguarddatabase.wikia.com/wiki/The_Vanguard_Campaign The Vanguard Campaign], after which she remained on Earth for many years.<br />
<br />
Through the sustaining of Earth's now vulnerable and war-torn status, Allein was sent to secure a small mountain town named Ravenrooke. However the detioration of her mental faculties led to a misunderstanding and she led her shadow minions to the slaughter of 90,000 humans. This was not the first time Allein murdered innocents, however this was her highest death toll yet.<br />
<br />
Her grief caused a major depression as well as a mental breakdown. The Madgod banished her to the Madrealm's depths. In her broken status, she acted as a kind of recordkeeper for various information that flowed through there.<br />
<br />
She remained there for an incalculable amount of time. She was visited rarely, primarily by adventurers seeking secrets or previous lovers checking up on her condition.<br />
<br />
After a certain point however, the Madgod conscripted a small team of heroes to delve directly into her mind to repair it.<br />
<br />
The mission was a success and she eventually woke up, though she was immediately sent to another realm where she can work for the people and eventually redeem herself for previous mistakes.<br />

When most people see Livia they may think "skimpy". They would be wrong. For she dresses practically for her species - that of a werewolf. She wears a stretchable sports bra and shorts - nothing sensual or even sexy, but merely practical because they are articles of clothing that don't tear up during a transformation, which she is capable of doing at will.<br />
<br />
Her modesty faded several decades ago and is pretty much never found in real casual or formal clothing except for the rarest of occasions.<br />
<br />
She is also described as "Amazonian", towering over the most humans or humanoid creatures.<br />

The moon holds moderate sway. The only time it is relevant is during a full moon in which her body, mind, and soul are infused with an extreme amount of energy.

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Her PTSD doesn't really affect the way she acts against others, it only gives her brief moments throughout the day where she cannot function properly. In which case she simply "locks down", takes some medication and remains statuesque for about two minutes for her to "come to", and she moves along with her day.<br />
<br />
She is fascinated with the world around her, because what little memories she has left are usually of an unremarkable life of a simple young adult whose family got picked off one by one, by various mundane incidents like heart attacks and car crashes. Her grief manifested into cynicism, which for the most part she still has. Though at this point those are old wounds and most of her current level of hatred is aimed directly at PSI.<br />
<br />
After Phase 4 she led a fairly normal life outside of being a public superhero with a long abandoned identity (She barely remembers her own name). She has an apartment (Which was not as readily furnished as Primus claimed), which she has tailored to her previously low to middle class life. Rife with midlevel computers, televisions, and even a pinball machine just to say she has one.<br />
<br />
From Phase 4 Onward she is seen as outgoing and readily friendly to others. Her psyche reports mention that there's a lot of hate in her, but it's aimed in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />

Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />

<br />
== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|150px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
<br />
<center><br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png|450px]]</center><br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />
<br />
[[File:3ArchonAcceptance.png|left]]<br />
Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />

! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she temporarily "loses" herself after a particularly troublesome nightmare, possibly caused by her Nemesis. She becomes unstable and PRIMUS is forced to contain her into powered armor that helps absorb her excess energy until she calms down.<br />
<br />
'''Phase 6''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />
|}<br />
{{clear}}<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 4 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />
[[File:Nora.png|left|275px]]<br />
The first in what may be a long list of problems for Archon in the future is a woman named Nora, also known as "Psi-Anora" in the hero-villain dichotomy. She was once a standard assassin under PSI's hire but noticed a specific level of charisma that led to a spike in recruiting and she was eventually turned into one of PSI's top recruiters.<br />
<br />
Nora was put into retirement regarding general mark-stalk-kill, and was actually on the officers team in the Dream Center in Nevada. They kidnapped civilians they deemed "unimportant", and Nora was there helping judge who was worthy of capturing and experimenting with mental technology.<br><br />
She was also charged with keeping the local authorities quiet, by threats of murder or simple mental manipulation, which she is a master of.<br />
<br />
Nora was actually present during the Incident in Nevada and barely survived Archon's detonation. When news of the escape reached her, they knew enough about Archon's soul to know that nothing good would come of this. She mentally projected herself into the Mayor's mind while her own body was disintegrated. It was her, in the mind of the Mayor, that tried to sell the "Power Source Overload" story.<br><br />
Eventually PSI helped her regenerate a new body which is somewhat different than the one she had before, but further infused with Psionic energies.<br />
<br />
In trade for this spike in abilities, she has been charged with taking down Archon. A mission that Nora takes rather personally.<br />
<br />
= Extra=<br />
== Tropes==<br />
== RP Hooks==<br />
*Most of PRIMUS is aware that she is a direct cause of the Disaster in Nevada, though (most) don't blame her.<br />
**The rest of the public is blaming the incident on PSI. They have denied these claims but given their reputation, their credibility is low and this works in Archon's favor.<br />
*She is a registered superhero, and is active in that work. As of writing this article, she has not quite made the news. PRIMUS is helping by giving her hero-related work that may get her some airtime.<br />
**She has, however, been featured on "Heroes to Watch", a web article that outlines a couple of new-to-the-scene heroes every week.<br />
*She is heavily anti-PSI so other champions with a similar goal may have heard of her. By extension, she's definitely on a "Please get this woman off our ass" list for the PSI.<br />

== Trivia==<br />
*Archon's story arc is replayable, for multiple people or to attempt multiple strategies.<br />
**By extension, Phases 2 and 3 '''can fail.''' Since she's already at rock bottom in two different ways, failing doesn't make anything worse. She just continues with what she is doing at the time.<br />
*Despite sharing a similar title-like moniker with [[The Matriarch]], Archon actually has nothing to do with her or the blood cult.<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Her PTSD doesn't really affect the way she acts against others, it only gives her brief moments throughout the day where she cannot function properly. In which case she simply "locks down", takes some medication and remains statuesque for about two minutes for her to "come to", and she moves along with her day.<br />
<br />
She is fascinated with the world around her, because what little memories she has left are usually of an unremarkable life of a simple young adult whose family got picked off one by one, by various mundane incidents like heart attacks and car crashes. Her grief manifested into cynicism, which for the most part she still has. Though at this point those are old wounds and most of her current level of hatred is aimed directly at PSI.<br />
<br />
After Phase 4 she led a fairly normal life outside of being a public superhero with a long abandoned identity (She barely remembers her own name). She has an apartment (Which was not as readily furnished as Primus claimed), which she has tailored to her previously low to middle class life. Rife with midlevel computers, televisions, and even a pinball machine just to say she has one.<br />
<br />
From Phase 4 Onward she is seen as outgoing and readily friendly to others. Her psyche reports mention that there's a lot of hate in her, but it's aimed in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />
She has various forms of Psionics and Telepthy of varying effectiveness. She has plenty of power, she just doesn't know what all she has and how to use it.<br />
<br />
She can phase weapons out of her soul's energy, which she uses in most forms of combat and is often the first power anyone ever sees her use.<br />

'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she temporarily "loses" herself after a particularly troublesome nightmare, possibly caused by her Nemesis. She becomes unstable and PRIMUS is forced to contain her into powered armor that helps absorb her excess energy until she calms down.<br />
<br />
'''Phase 6''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />

By Phase 4 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />
[[File:Nora.png|left|275px]]<br />
The first in what may be a long list of problems for Archon in the future is a woman named Nora, also known as "Psi-Anora" in the hero-villain dichotomy. She was once a standard assassin under PSI's hire but noticed a specific level of charisma that led to a spike in recruiting and she was eventually turned into one of PSI's top recruiters.<br />
<br />
Nora was put into retirement regarding general mark-stalk-kill, and was actually on the officers team in the Dream Center in Nevada. They kidnapped civilians they deemed "unimportant", and Nora was there helping judge who was worthy of capturing and experimenting with mental technology.<br><br />
She was also charged with keeping the local authorities quiet, by threats of murder or simple mental manipulation, which she is a master of.<br />
<br />
Nora was actually present during the Incident in Nevada and barely survived Archon's detonation. When news of the escape reached her, they knew enough about Archon's soul to know that nothing good would come of this. She mentally projected herself into the Mayor's mind while her own body was disintegrated. It was her, in the mind of the Mayor, that tried to sell the "Power Source Overload" story.<br><br />
Eventually PSI helped her regenerate a new body which is somewhat different than the one she had before, but further infused with Psionic energies.<br />
<br />
In trade for this spike in abilities, she has been charged with taking down Archon. A mission that Nora takes rather personally.<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Her PTSD doesn't really affect the way she acts against others, it only gives her brief moments throughout the day where she cannot function properly. In which case she simply "locks down", takes some medication and remains statuesque for about two minutes for her to "come to", and she moves along with her day.<br />
<br />
She is fascinated with the world around her, because what little memories she has left are usually of an unremarkable life of a simple young adult whose family got picked off one by one, by various mundane incidents like heart attacks and car crashes. Her grief manifested into cynicism, which for the most part she still has. Though at this point those are old wounds and most of her current level of hatred is aimed directly at PSI.<br />
<br />
After Phase 4 she led a fairly normal life outside of being a public superhero with a long abandoned identity (She barely remembers her own name). She has an apartment (Which was not as readily furnished as Primus claimed), which she has tailored to her previously low to middle class life. Rife with midlevel computers, televisions, and even a pinball machine just to say she has one.<br />
<br />
From Phase 4 Onward she is seen as outgoing and readily friendly to others. Her psyche reports mention that there's a lot of hate in her, but it's aimed in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />
She has various forms of Psionics and Telepthy of varying effectiveness. She has plenty of power, she just doesn't know what all she has and how to use it.<br />
<br />
She can phase weapons out of her soul's energy, which she uses in most forms of combat and is often the first power anyone ever sees her use.<br />
<br />
= Weaknesses=<br />
While she's practically godlike, much of her human form is fairly... standard.<br><br />
She does not run quickly, punch hard, or aim particularly well. She does all of these things adequately, but when put in a situation where nuking things into non-existence with her very soul, she does not perform extraordinarily. <br />
<br />
From Phase 2 to 4, her powers cause immediate pain. This pain is psychological as she remembers what happened during her "transformation", it gets better every time she uses it.<br />
<br />
While in Phase 4 (Acceptance), she's not very brave and will avoid situations unless thrust upon her. Despite her going full hero status, she's still generally afraid of using her powers.<br />
<br />
After ascension her weaknesses swing back to her human body, which is not necessarily extraordinary.<br />
<br />
= Phases =<br />
(( OOC Section ))<br><br />
Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />
These restrictions '''may''' be removed after each phase when roleplayed.<br><br />
The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />
<br />
== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|150px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
<br />
<center><br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png|450px]]</center><br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />
<br />
[[File:3ArchonAcceptance.png|left]]<br />
Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />

She does not run quickly, punch hard, or aim particularly well. She does all of these things adequately, but when put in a situation where nuking things into non-existence with her very soul, she does not perform extraordinarily. <br />
<br />
From Phase 2 to 4, her powers cause immediate pain. This pain is psychological as she remembers what happened during her "transformation", it gets better every time she uses it.<br />
<br />
While in Phase 4 (Acceptance), she's not very brave and will avoid situations unless thrust upon her. Despite her going full hero status, she's still generally afraid of using her powers.<br />
<br />
After ascension her weaknesses swing back to her human body, which is not necessarily extraordinary.<br />
<br />
= Phases =<br />
(( OOC Section ))<br><br />
Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />
These restrictions '''may''' be removed after each phase when roleplayed.<br><br />
The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />
<br />
== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|150px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
<br />
<center><br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png|450px]]</center><br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />
<br />
[[File:3ArchonAcceptance.png|left]]<br />
Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />
<br />
== Phase 5 - Ascension ==<br />

{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"<br />
! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />
|}<br />
{{clear}}<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />
[[File:Nora.png|left|275px]]<br />
The first in what may be a long list of problems for Archon in the future is a woman named Nora, also known as "Psi-Anora" in the hero-villain dichotomy. She was once a standard assassin under PSI's hire but noticed a specific level of charisma that led to a spike in recruiting and she was eventually turned into one of PSI's top recruiters.<br />
<br />
Nora was put into retirement regarding general mark-stalk-kill, and was actually on the officers team in the Dream Center in Nevada. They kidnapped civilians they deemed "unimportant", and Nora was there helping judge who was worthy of capturing and experimenting with mental technology.<br><br />
She was also charged with keeping the local authorities quiet, by threats of murder or simple mental manipulation, which she is a master of.<br />
<br />
Nora was actually present during the Incident in Nevada and barely survived Archon's detonation. When news of the escape reached her, they knew enough about Archon's soul to know that nothing good would come of this. She mentally projected herself into the Mayor's mind while her own body was disintegrated. It was her, in the mind of the Mayor, that tried to sell the "Power Source Overload" story.<br><br />
Eventually PSI helped her regenerate a new body which is somewhat different than the one she had before, but further infused with Psionic energies.<br />
<br />
In trade for this spike in abilities, she has been charged with taking down Archon. A mission that Nora takes rather personally.<br />
<br />
= Extra=<br />
== Tropes==<br />
== RP Hooks==<br />
*Most of PRIMUS is aware that she is a direct cause of the Disaster in Nevada, though (most) don't blame her.<br />
**The rest of the public is blaming the incident on PSI. They have denied these claims but given their reputation, their credibility is low and this works in Archon's favor.<br />
*She is a registered superhero, and is active in that work. As of writing this article, she has not quite made the news. PRIMUS is helping by giving her hero-related work that may get her some airtime.<br />
**She has, however, been featured on "Heroes to Watch", a web article that outlines a couple of new-to-the-scene heroes every week.<br />
*She is heavily anti-PSI so other champions with a similar goal may have heard of her. By extension, she's definitely on a "Please get this woman off our ass" list for the PSI.<br />

== Trivia==<br />
*Archon's story arc is replayable, for multiple people or to attempt multiple strategies.<br />
**By extension, Phases 2 and 3 '''can fail.''' Since she's already at rock bottom in two different ways, failing doesn't make anything worse. She just continues with what she is doing at the time.<br />
*Despite sharing a similar title-like moniker with [[The Matriarch]], Archon actually has nothing to do with her or the blood cult.<br />

=Appearance=<br />
[[File:SuitedKyna.png|200px|left]]<br />
Kyna is a very 'what you see is what you get' kind of woman. She dresses very practically and can vary for whichever situation she may be in. More often than not, people will find her in casual combat gear with a pair of goggles that may be used for a multitude of purposes. Some knives and ranged weaponry may be seen, hinting to the fact that this woman is a walking weapon, and that there is probably more that one may not be able to see at first glance.<br />
<br />
She wears expensively tailored suits and many assume her to be some kind of CEO or government employee. Other times, notably in her off-hours, she can be seen in jeans (Sometimes with a camouflage design) and tank-top or simple shirt. <br>Her right arm is heavily tattooed.<br><br />
She is athletic and toned, yet walks with a strange noble grace.<br><br />
For all intents and purposes, she looks human. However it is her eyes that are usually the first thing people notice. They are an inhuman purple (An iris may or may not be present), and they seem to glow in dimly lit areas.<br />
<br />
=Recent Affairs=<br />
Kyna's history is extensive and convoluted, and outlining her history would fill a novel.<br />
<br />
Simply put, she has followed [[Madgod Matthias]] into this particular timeline and acts as his Gatekeeper. She keeps a close eye on him to make sure he does not slip into one of his omni-cidal phases. He is her primary charge, but she fills her time performing hero work. Unknown to the public however, she does perform assassinations as well (Though she makes sure they deserve it).<br />
<br />
== Flux ==<br />
[[File:NobleKyna1b.png|left|200px]]Kyna walked down the hallway of her throne room straight to the balcony that once overlooked her kingdom of [http://vanguarddatabase.wikia.com/wiki/Karmajia Karmajia]. Upon the balcony, Kyna had looked upward to the sky. Supernatural and wonderful. Purple, dim hues and cosmological clouds fluctuate. A lightning-like energy pulsated around them, the light of universes. There was nothing here, only her city, her people. She wished she could stay but her gaze regained its purpose and looks downward.<br><br />
At that moment, it served the regrettable purpose of chasing down a rogue God. A large, multicolored vortex littered the area that her subjects once gathered to hear their leader speak. Only the Praetoria surrounded it, guarding entry for their Lady.<br />
<br />
Lady Shadowcrest, she was called there. Its relevance is different year by year, and for that moment the title meant nothing.<br />
It had been some time since she last saw her charge. Far too long, she thought. Only scattered reports of the carnage he had caused in other timelines. She heard that an entire universe went dark without her presence, the Madgod had destroyed everything.<br />
<br />
She sighed audibly, one of her Praetoria inquired. She said nothing for several moments before speaking only, "It must be done".<br />
<br />
She dove into the vortex, energies that had already been tuned to target the rogue God and follow him throughout time and space. This was not a process she enjoyed, as it warped her very essence to mold towards the universe she is landing in.<br />
Her stomach twisted and turned, her muscles tightened. Her clothing, skin, and bones burns away as she plummets through a blue and purple void. The process seemed to break her down only to build her back into a more suitable form for the target.<br />
She lost sense of time, emotion, and urgency. Her mind defaulted to the most basic and important of memories. A wife, a god, fighting, war, friends. It's jumbled and random and despite this entire process encompassing mere seconds, she just wished it would end more quickly.<br />
<br />
Finally, she thought. She felt the cold, crumbled asphalt beneath her nude body. It was night. Her feet felt it first, second only to the tips of her fingers. She smelled rubber, and water. Her landing had broken a pipe.<br />
<br />
While she wasn't blind, her sight came to her a few moments later. Her brain was temporarily incapable of registering her surroundings while the sense of touch helped the process. Looking around, she had seen nobody approaching.<br><br />
She took the pause an utilized her shadow to craft a basic set of clothing. A suit, it would work for now. Though it wasn't the best first choice, as it got dirty as she crawled out of the hole she had made. Her brain was still muddled, and flopped on her back. She didn't even notice that the broken pipe soaked her pants, and the dirt and soot made her look like a CEO just got tossed out of the 40th floor.<br />
<br />
That, too, was one of her first sights. Skyscrapers, lights. Beautiful architecture.<br><br />
As her senses became more acclimated to the surroundings, she heard the shuffling of feet. Turning her head, she saw humans. And... other things. Humanoids, of varying kinds in modern clothing. They approached her, side by side, trying to inquire into her situation but she wasn't quite cognizant yet. Their mouths moved and sound came out, but she could not comprehend their words. <br><br />
She blinked, hoping it would help. It didn't. <br><br />
She sat up and an indescribable pain shot through her body, and left as soon as it came. She let forth an audible groan and some lizard-type-woman leaned down and tried to help her up. She accepted this, and stood up along with them.<br />
<br />
Kyna stood well, but the bystanders couldn't see that she could barely stand at all. Her muscles shook and wavered, but her senses were coming back to her.<br />
<br />
The questions came. Things like "Are you okay?" and "Who are you?". She didn't answer, remaining silent and walked forth into the world.<br><br />
She had bigger problems, a God was near. Several of them, in fact. However it was just one that was relevant, just one that she needed to find and follow.<br />
<br />
Kyna remained mute and marched forward. She vaguely heard someone refer to her as "fine, bitch".<br />
<br />
=Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
The first word that comes to mind for most people regarding Kyna is "classy". She has off days and lazy-days like everyone else, but for the most part she maintains grace, style, and class. She wears expensive suits, orders top-shelf liquor, and plays the violin for special guests to her apartments.<br><br />
Her sense of humor is based primarily on sarcasm, and she respects others who engage in such styles of conversations. To her, sarcasm implies wit, and she has more respect for those of moderate intelligence.<br />
<br />
=Powers / Abilities=<br />
[[File:KynaSF.png|left|240px]]The usual fare of shadow abilities that most [http://vanguarddatabase.wikia.com/wiki/Trahl'es'das Trahl'es'das] have, it also infuses into her martial abilities.<br />
<br />
She is an incredibly brutal and efficient martial artist. Some may think she fights dirty but she was trained (And designed) to win. From dust-throwing to crotch-slamming, she will make sure to disable her enemy.<br />
<br />
She can learn her enemy as she is fighting them. She is able to calculate multiple moves in advance, multiple outcomes, and possible attacks from the enemy. For example, if she notices an enemy has a regenerative ability, she will calculate how quickly it is and inflict more wounds based on healing speed. <br><br />
<br />
:All of this is mostly based around being a Trahl. If her innate shadow abilities are debilitated (in extremely rare occasions, this is not something that be "turned off"), everything she is able to do is brought down to human-like.<br />
<br />
Over the years she has been able to learn several world languages.<br />
<br />
=Weaknesses=<br />
As per being a Trahl, she is weak against Holy/Light/Radiant energies. Even to the extent of becoming sick in the presence of a concentrated amount of it.<br />
<br />
The sun lessens her abilities, though her non-magic skills can usually compensate.<br />
<br />
As noted above; If her innate shadow abilities are debilitated (in extremely rare occasions, this is not something than be "turned off"), everything she is able to do is brought down to human-like.<br />
<br />
In a lesser form of weakness, it seems she is incapable of knowing when she is flirted with. She has been unable to figure out why. She often gets made fun of for this.<br />
<br />
=Nemesis=<br />
[[File:Matthias Building.png|left|250px]] M is her charge. As a sort of "Gatekeeper", she follows him across the universe (at his own behest) to make sure the damage he causes is kept to a minimum. However they have a difference in philosophy. For her, it's "Control". For him, it's "Exterminate". Because of this, they often butt heads even without undergoing one of his ritualistic omnicidal phases (Which only happens every few thousand years). <br><br />
This has even led to a [http://vanguarddatabase.wikia.com/wiki/The_Civil_War Civil War] on their own timeline.<br />
<br />
While she may be his Gatekeeper, M is hardly her worst enemy.<br />
<br />
She often shares the same enemies as M, chief of which is [[Alistair]], a powerful (if cowardly) battlemage in charge of some of the deadliest combatants they've ever faced.<br />
<br />
To a lesser extent, there are a few scattered vampires that make enemies with her for past grievances. A self-titled villain named "Sanguine" (She is not a clever woman) mounts the greatest offense. While she is easily defeated, she makes up for in resources and outright tenacity.<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Her PTSD doesn't really affect the way she acts against others, it only gives her brief moments throughout the day where she cannot function properly. In which case she simply "locks down", takes some medication and remains statuesque for about two minutes for her to "come to", and she moves along with her day.<br />
<br />
She is fascinated with the world around her, because what little memories she has left are usually of an unremarkable life of a simple young adult whose family got picked off one by one, by various mundane incidents like heart attacks and car crashes. Her grief manifested into cynicism, which for the most part she still has. Though at this point those are old wounds and most of her current level of hatred is aimed directly at PSI.<br />
<br />
After Phase 4 she led a fairly normal life outside of being a public superhero with a long abandoned identity (She barely remembers her own name). She has an apartment (Which was not as readily furnished as Primus claimed), which she has tailored to her previously low to middle class life. Rife with midlevel computers, televisions, and even a pinball machine just to say she has one.<br />
<br />
From Phase 4 Onward she is seen as outgoing and readily friendly to others. Her psyche reports mention that there's a lot of hate in her, but it's aimed in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />
She has various forms of Psionics and Telepthy of varying effectiveness. She has plenty of power, she just doesn't know what all she has and how to use it.<br />
<br />
She can phase weapons out of her soul's energy, which she uses in most forms of combat and is often the first power anyone ever sees her use.<br />
<br />
= Weaknesses=<br />
While she's practically godlike, much of her human form is fairly... standard.<br><br />
She does not run quickly, punch hard, or aim particularly well. She does all of these things adequately, but when put in a situation where nuking things into non-existence with her very soul, she does not perform extraordinarily. <br />
<br />
From Phase 2 to 4, her powers cause immediate pain. This pain is psychological as she remembers what happened during her "transformation", it gets better every time she uses it.<br />
<br />
While in Phase 4 (Acceptance), she's not very brave and will avoid situations unless thrust upon her. Despite her going full hero status, she's still generally afraid of using her powers.<br />
<br />
After ascension her weaknesses swing back to her human body, which is not necessarily extraordinary.<br />
<br />
= Phases =<br />
(( OOC Section ))<br><br />
Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />
These restrictions '''may''' be removed after each phase when roleplayed.<br><br />
The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />
<br />
== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|150px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
<br />
<center><br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png|450px]]</center><br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />
<br />
[[File:3ArchonAcceptance.png|left]]<br />
Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />
<br />

== Summary of Events ==<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"<br />
! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />
[[File:Nora.png|left|275px]]<br />
The first in what may be a long list of problems for Archon in the future is a woman named Nora, also known as "Psi-Anora" in the hero-villain dichotomy. She was once a standard assassin under PSI's hire but noticed a specific level of charisma that led to a spike in recruiting and she was eventually turned into one of PSI's top recruiters.<br />
<br />
Nora was put into retirement regarding general mark-stalk-kill, and was actually on the officers team in the Dream Center in Nevada. They kidnapped civilians they deemed "unimportant", and Nora was there helping judge who was worthy of capturing and experimenting with mental technology.<br><br />
She was also charged with keeping the local authorities quiet, by threats of murder or simple mental manipulation, which she is a master of.<br />
<br />
Nora was actually present during the Incident in Nevada and barely survived Archon's detonation. When news of the escape reached her, they knew enough about Archon's soul to know that nothing good would come of this. She mentally projected herself into the Mayor's mind while her own body was disintegrated. It was her, in the mind of the Mayor, that tried to sell the "Power Source Overload" story.<br><br />
Eventually PSI helped her regenerate a new body which is somewhat different than the one she had before, but further infused with Psionic energies.<br />
<br />
In trade for this spike in abilities, she has been charged with taking down Archon. A mission that Nora takes rather personally.<br />
<br />
= Extra=<br />
== Tropes==<br />
== RP Hooks==<br />
*Most of PRIMUS is aware that she is a direct cause of the Disaster in Nevada, though (most) don't blame her.<br />
**The rest of the public is blaming the incident on PSI. They have denied these claims but given their reputation, their credibility is low and this works in Archon's favor.<br />
*She is a registered superhero, and is active in that work. As of writing this article, she has not quite made the news. PRIMUS is helping by giving her hero-related work that may get her some airtime.<br />
**She has, however, been featured on "Heroes to Watch", a web article that outlines a couple of new-to-the-scene heroes every week.<br />
*She is heavily anti-PSI so other champions with a similar goal may have heard of her. By extension, she's definitely on a "Please get this woman off our ass" list for the PSI.<br />

== Trivia==<br />
*Archon's story arc is replayable, for multiple people or to attempt multiple strategies.<br />
**By extension, Phases 2 and 3 '''can fail.''' Since she's already at rock bottom in two different ways, failing doesn't make anything worse. She just continues with what she is doing at the time.<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Her PTSD doesn't really affect the way she acts against others, it only gives her brief moments throughout the day where she cannot function properly. In which case she simply "locks down", takes some medication and remains statuesque for about two minutes for her to "come to", and she moves along with her day.<br />
<br />
She is fascinated with the world around her, because what little memories she has left are usually of an unremarkable life of a simple young adult whose family got picked off one by one, by various mundane incidents like heart attacks and car crashes. Her grief manifested into cynicism, which for the most part she still has. Though at this point those are old wounds and most of her current level of hatred is aimed directly at PSI.<br />
<br />
After Phase 4 she led a fairly normal life outside of being a public superhero with a long abandoned identity (She barely remembers her own name). She has an apartment (Which was not as readily furnished as Primus claimed), which she has tailored to her previously low to middle class life. Rife with midlevel computers, televisions, and even a pinball machine just to say she has one.<br />
<br />
From Phase 4 Onward she is seen as outgoing and readily friendly to others. Her psyche reports mention that there's a lot of hate in her, but it's aimed in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />
She has various forms of Psionics and Telepthy of varying effectiveness. She has plenty of power, she just doesn't know what all she has and how to use it.<br />
<br />
She can phase weapons out of her soul's energy, which she uses in most forms of combat and is often the first power anyone ever sees her use.<br />
<br />
= Weaknesses=<br />
While she's practically godlike, much of her human form is fairly... standard.<br><br />
She does not run quickly, punch hard, or aim particularly well. She does all of these things adequately, but when put in a situation where nuking things into non-existence with her very soul, she does not perform extraordinarily. <br />
<br />
From Phase 2 to 4, her powers cause immediate pain. This pain is psychological as she remembers what happened during her "transformation", it gets better every time she uses it.<br />
<br />
While in Phase 4 (Acceptance), she's not very brave and will avoid situations unless thrust upon her. Despite her going full hero status, she's still generally afraid of using her powers.<br />
<br />
After ascension her weaknesses swing back to her human body, which is not necessarily extraordinary.<br />
<br />
= Phases =<br />
(( OOC Section ))<br><br />
Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />
These restrictions '''may''' be removed after each phase when roleplayed.<br><br />
The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />
<br />
== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|150px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
<br />
<center><br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png|450px]]</center><br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />
{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"<br />
! Acceptance (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
[[File:3ArchonAcceptance.png|left]]<br />
Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />

== Summary of Events ==<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"<br />
! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />
[[File:Nora.png|left|275px]]<br />
The first in what may be a long list of problems for Archon in the future is a woman named Nora, also known as "Psi-Anora" in the hero-villain dichotomy. She was once a standard assassin under PSI's hire but noticed a specific level of charisma that led to a spike in recruiting and she was eventually turned into one of PSI's top recruiters.<br />
<br />
Nora was put into retirement regarding general mark-stalk-kill, and was actually on the officers team in the Dream Center in Nevada. They kidnapped civilians they deemed "unimportant", and Nora was there helping judge who was worthy of capturing and experimenting with mental technology.<br><br />
She was also charged with keeping the local authorities quiet, by threats of murder or simple mental manipulation, which she is a master of.<br />
<br />
Nora was actually present during the Incident in Nevada and barely survived Archon's detonation. When news of the escape reached her, they knew enough about Archon's soul to know that nothing good would come of this. She mentally projected herself into the Mayor's mind while her own body was disintegrated. It was her, in the mind of the Mayor, that tried to sell the "Power Source Overload" story.<br><br />
Eventually PSI helped her regenerate a new body which is somewhat different than the one she had before, but further infused with Psionic energies.<br />
<br />
In trade for this spike in abilities, she has been charged with taking down Archon. A mission that Nora takes rather personally.<br />
<br />
= Extra=<br />
== Tropes==<br />
== RP Hooks==<br />
*Most of PRIMUS is aware that she is a direct cause of the Disaster in Nevada, though (most) don't blame her.<br />
**The rest of the public is blaming the incident on PSI. They have denied these claims but given their reputation, their credibility is low and this works in Archon's favor.<br />
*She is a registered superhero, and is active in that work. As of writing this article, she has not quite made the news. PRIMUS is helping by giving her hero-related work that may get her some airtime.<br />
**She has, however, been featured on "Heroes to Watch", a web article that outlines a couple of new-to-the-scene heroes every week.<br />
*She is heavily anti-PSI so other champions with a similar goal may have heard of her. By extension, she's definitely on a "Please get this woman off our ass" list for the PSI.<br />

== Trivia==<br />
*Archon's story arc is replayable, for multiple people or to attempt multiple strategies.<br />
**By extension, Phases 2 and 3 '''can fail.''' Since she's already at rock bottom in two different ways, failing doesn't make anything worse. She just continues with what she is doing at the time.<br />
*Despite sharing a similar title-like moniker with [[The Matriarch]], Archon actually has nothing to do with her or the blood cult.<br />

She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />

Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />

! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />
[[File:Nora.png|left|275px]]<br />
The first in what may be a long list of problems for Archon in the future is a woman named Nora, also known as "Psi-Anora" in the hero-villain dichotomy. She was once a standard assassin under PSI's hire but noticed a specific level of charisma that led to a spike in recruiting and she was eventually turned into one of PSI's top recruiters.<br />
<br />
Nora was put into retirement regarding general mark-stalk-kill, and was actually on the officers team in the Dream Center in Nevada. They kidnapped civilians they deemed "unimportant", and Nora was there helping judge who was worthy of capturing and experimenting with mental technology.<br><br />
She was also charged with keeping the local authorities quiet, by threats of murder or simple mental manipulation, which she is a master of.<br />
<br />
Nora was actually present during the Incident in Nevada and barely survived Archon's detonation. When news of the escape reached her, they knew enough about Archon's soul to know that nothing good would come of this. She mentally projected herself into the Mayor's mind while her own body was disintegrated. It was her, in the mind of the Mayor, that tried to sell the "Power Source Overload" story.<br><br />
Eventually PSI helped her regenerate a new body which is somewhat different than the one she had before, but further infused with Psionic energies.<br />
<br />
In trade for this spike in abilities, she has been charged with taking down Archon. A mission that Nora takes rather personally.<br />
<br />
= Extra=<br />
== Tropes==<br />
== RP Hooks==<br />
*Most of PRIMUS is aware that she is a direct cause of the Disaster in Nevada, though (most) don't blame her.<br />
**The rest of the public is blaming the incident on PSI. They have denied these claims but given their reputation, their credibility is low and this works in Archon's favor.<br />
*She is a registered superhero, and is active in that work. As of writing this article, she has not quite made the news. PRIMUS is helping by giving her hero-related work that may get her some airtime.<br />
**She has, however, been featured on "Heroes to Watch", a web article that outlines a couple of new-to-the-scene heroes every week.<br />
*She is heavily anti-PSI so other champions with a similar goal may have heard of her. By extension, she's definitely on a "Please get this woman off our ass" list for the PSI.<br />

== Trivia==<br />
*Archon's story arc is replayable, for multiple people or to attempt multiple strategies.<br />
**By extension, Phases 2 and 3 '''can fail.''' Since she's already at rock bottom in two different ways, failing doesn't make anything worse. She just continues with what she is doing at the time.<br />
*Despite sharing a similar title-like moniker with [[The Matriarch]], Archon actually has nothing to do with her or the blood cult.<br />

<hr />
<div>Thundrax – The Movie” was a motion picture that (extremely) loosely depicted the first three years of his superhero career. The script was watered down by the director, and the film is considered a bomb, though an enjoyable one.<br />

<br />
=Synopsis=<br />
<br />
There's an ad for “Carl's Gym” (“visit our new Hudson City location!”) and then the movie starts. The WB logo morphs into the faceplate of Dr. Destroyer.<br />
<br />
'''Destroyer:''' For three months, humanity has lived under the benign rule of the Destroyer. For three months my will has run unchallenged across this entire planet, thanks to my “thought protection satellites”. <br />
<br />
'''Destroyer:''' For three months, I have allowed you to live with the symbols of the old, obsolete world from which I rescued you, but the time has come for them to pass.<br />
<br />
'''Destroyer:''' Every church, temple and cathedral will be demolished. Every statue and monument will be toppled. Every flag shall burn. And we will begin with this...<br />
<br />
Pan out to show the Statue of Liberty.<br />
<br />
'''Destroyer:''' In the world of the Destroyer, there is no need for the illusion of liberty. Vanguard, once you stood against me as my greatest opponent, liberty's champion. <br />
<br />
'''Destroyer:''' Now, destroy her, and bring an end to this foolhardy experiment called – America.<br />
<br />
Close up of Vanguard fighting against the command, and then shouting “NO!”<br />
<br />
Pull back to show young Craig Carson leaning forward to watch the scene on television, clearly enthralled. <br />
<br />
His brother Jack turns it off, and declares that he hates superheroes. Craig objects, “But that was Vanguard!” and they briefly scuffle. <br />
<br />
Jack roughly throws Craig back in the chair and tells him to grow up. “But don't you want to be one?” he asks. Jack tells Craig that only one in a million people get superpowers and since mom died, they don't have time for idle fantasy.<br />
<br />
Cut to Craig working in a fast food restaurant. A TV news broadcast in a corner mentions Black Spectre and his Brotherhood of Terror running amok. <br />
<br />
Craig asks his boss who Black Spectre is. His boss answers that he's a former hero with radiation powers who tried to absorb the radiation at the Chernobyl explosion and went insane.<br />
<br />
Craig wanders back after work, sees a woman on the roof of a building, poised on the ledge. He climbs up to talk her down, and she says “you are worthy to possess the power of living thunder!”<br />
<br />
A lightning bolt strikes him. He falls from the roof and lands hard. He wakes up, naked, in a hole in the parking lot, in his Thundrax body. He is surrounded by a SWAT team.<br />
<br />
An overly long chase scene follows. In the end, after the panicked naked Craig destroys police cars and lots of other property, he is cornered by the SWAT team. Then Black Spectre with his sidekicks Tempest, Talon, and Barricade shows up and casually kills the cops, while Dark Prowler watches and cracks jokes.<br />
<br />
Thundrax almost attacks Prowler.<br />
<br />
'''Black Spectre:''' Enough! From the power you have displayed, this glorious, glorious chaos, you are truly worthy to join my superhuman elite! <br />
<br />
'''Tempest:''' Love the wardrobe, stud.<br />
<br />
'''Black Spectre:''' Join your thunder with my power of radiation, and we shall bring about a beautiful darkness and control human destiny!<br />
<br />
'''Thundrax:''' Huh?<br />
<br />
Thundrax jumps away. Barricade wonders if they should go after him, but Black Spectre confidently says that with the police after him, he has no place to go.<br />
<br />
Thundrax returns home, and hides in the attic while Jack sits at home, watching the A-Team. He fingers through pictures of his mom, but pushes the ones he finds of his father aside brisquely. Jack investigates the noise but Thundrax manages to hide. He falls asleep and wakes up as Craig.<br />
<br />
Thundrax returns to high school, where he's attracted to lead cheerleader Angela Kumiko. During a conversation with her, he gets turned on when she turns around and bends down seductively, and immediately involunarily transforms into naked Thundrax! He flees the school, steals some clothes from a mall, runs away from a mall cop, and goes into hiding. He spots the superhero team SUNDER: Shamus, Avenger, Cryo, Flux, and Impulse fighting VIPER. He joins in, and has a big hero moment throwing a huge VIPER brickbuster who was about to kill Shamus through a van. <br />
<br />
'''Shamus:''' Thanks! <br />
<br />
'''Avenger:''' Thanks for what? Why didn't your powers detect that guy?<br />
<br />
'''Flux''' (examining a module): I think this was blocking all psionics. Also, we better get this guy to a hospital, fast.<br />
<br />
'''Thundrax:''' What?<br />
<br />
'''Flux:''' Concussion, multiple cracked ribs, a punctured lung...<br />
<br />
'''Avenger:''' Great. People are going to think I did it!<br />
<br />
'''Cryo''' (to Thundrax): You need to go now, meathead. This team doesn't need you poisoning our rep. We don't need killers on our team.<br />
<br />
'''Thundrax:''' Killers?<br />
<br />
'''Avenger''' (sarcastically): Yeah, we're all good little girls and boys who would never take a life.<br />
<br />
Shamus, however, takes him under his wing. A training montage follows where Shamus teaches Thundrax how to control his powers. Shamus asks Thundrax about his parents, and Craig mentions that his mom died of cancer a few years back, while his dad abandoned his family when he was 5. He only has his big brother. Shamus refuses to answer any questions about his past.<br />
<br />
Craig returns home to find he's been suspended from school for truantism, and Jack grounds him for a month. Craig stays in his room, leafing through comic books, and transforming back and forth between Craig and Thundrax in claps of thunder, driving his brother crazy (though he comically never sees him as Thundrax.<br />
<br />
Thundrax and SUNDER go on a successful crimefighting spree, taking out VIPER, PLUNDER, Malachite, the Hunter-Patriots, and Negative King. “SUNDER No Longer Rhymes With Blunder, Thanks to Thunder” is the headline in the Vancouver Herald. However, Black Spectre is not worried about the heroes in the least. He has a plan scheduled to go off at the opening of Expo 86, Vancouver's World's Fair.<br />
<br />
Craig discovers that life as Thundrax is no picnic. His grades are slumping, and Jack is pissed. Furthermore, he finds that his brother hates Thundrax.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Black Spectre is ready to pull his big plan. First he decides to lure SUNDER into a trap, an office building where he's planted a bomb. The heroes beat a cadre of VIPER agents, and Thundrax again notices that Prowler doesn't kill people when he gets the chance. However, Black Spectre kills Shamus, and the building blows up, and the team blames Thundrax because he was too busy rescuing people to save Shamus. At Cryo's insistence, they kick him off the team, though Flux and Thundrax have become friends and even Avenger's started to come around.<br />
<br />
Flux traces the Brotherhood to a floating island base, but it's a trap set up by Dark Prowler and the team is captured – Black Spectre needs them alive to serve as an energy source for his new experimental reactor, which apparently feeds on the power of superhumans! With it, he'll set off a supervolcano, wipe the Pacific Northwest off the map, and trigger global cooling and chaos.<br />
<br />
Dark Prowler's trap works perfectly, but Thundrax is still at large. Black Spectre places a call to Dr. Destroyer, and asks for firepower to take out his last enemy. Destroyer send his clone son (Kellan Lutz).<br />
<br />
Thundrax and Destroyer Jr. have a fifteen minute fight sequence that trashes Vancouver (probably killing thousands) as well as their clothing. In the end, Thundrax strangles D-Junior, and the villain reveals the Brotherhood's plot and location (even though there's no way he could have known), then flies away, his body starting to dissolve. <br />
<br />
Thundrax heads to Spectre's underground base and beats each member of the Brotherhood in succession. He finally faces Prowler, who is lamenting that Spectre is actually serious about blowing up Vancouver. Thundrax gives an inspired speech that convinces Prowler to free Thundrax's teammates, then goes off to confront Spectre.<br />
<br />
Spectre, sitting at his controls, sees Thundrax come in.<br />
<br />
'''Black Spectre:''' In five minutes Thundrax you and your precious city wil be brought low by Fire and Ash! *Evil Laugh* All you love those innocent people all consumed! Nothing can stop the reactor now, the reactor core will meltdown and you can do nothing to stop it. <br />
<br />
'''Thundrax:''' But why? Why destroy the city?<br />
<br />
'''Black Spectre:''' I am the king of chaos! Does chaos need a reason? Of course not! I destroy for the joy of destruction, of course! Mwahahaha!<br />
<br />
'''Thundrax:''' You're sick! And twisted! A sick and twisted madman!<br />
<br />
'''Black Spectre:''' And you're redundant and obsolete, fool! With you and your kind destroyed I, the living god Black Spectre, will consume this world as the source of the abyss! Mwahahaha!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Dark Prowler frees SUNDER from captivity. He starts mocking the captive heroes and says they owe him an apology. Avenger takes a pen and writes “apology” on his knuckles and lays him out out with one punch.<br />
<br />
'''Avenger''' (walking away, badass style): You didn't even accept the apology, asshole.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the power starts to fluctuate in the complex.<br />
<br />
'''Black Spectre:''' What? The power? Someone has freed the heroes!<br />
<br />
'''Thundrax:''' You're finished, Spectre!<br />
<br />
'''Black Spectre:''' I think not, Blundrax!<br />
<br />
They fight. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of SUNDER reach the overloaded reactor. Flux could shut it down if it were cooled down.<br />
<br />
'''Cryo:''' I was wrong about Thundrax! He's a real hero, and I've been a poseur all along! But not today! Dammit, not today!<br />
<br />
Cryp steps into the reactor and begins to cool it down.<br />
<br />
'''Impulse:''' Cryo, no!<br />
<br />
'''Cryo:''' I love you. (explodes into a billion special snowflakes, cooling the reactor.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Spectre notices the power fluctuate.<br />
<br />
'''Spectre:''' Fortunately, I have a back up! (pushes a button, a backup reactor lowers down from the roof), its shielding exposed. Powered by the greatest source of radiation on this planet, me!<br />
<br />
'''Thundrax:''' Hasn't anyone ever told you that no nukes is good nukes?<br />
<br />
Spectre blasts Thundrax into near unconsciousness.<br />
<br />
'''Spectre:''' Have you ever felt the blessed calm after a storm dies? This time it's your storm!”<br />
<br />
Shamus suddenly appears out of nowhere.<br />
<br />
'''Shamus:''' Eat lead, gamma breath! (draws a pistol and fires repeatedly)<br />
<br />
Spectre: What? You trenchcoated fool! You think bullets can stop me?<br />
<br />
'''Shamus:''' No, but he can!<br />
<br />
Thundrax grabs Black Spectre<br />
<br />
'''Thundrax:''' Everyone knows that nuclear power sucks! Let's find out how much!<br />
<br />
Spectre is thrown through the opening and dies. Thundrax goes to help Shamus.<br />
<br />
'''Thundrax:''' Shamus, how?<br />
<br />
'''Shamus:''' I'm a ghost, kid. I can go anywhere I like?<br />
<br />
'''Thundrax:''' I'm-- I'm sorry. It was all my fault.<br />
<br />
'''Shamus:''' Your fault for what? I've always been a ghost. That's how I could read minds.<br />
<br />
Thundrax rejoins his team. The mountain blows up, saving the city from the supervolcano eruption. Meanwhile, Destroyer's clone son returns to daddy. crawling to him and dissolving at his feet. Destroyer looks at a computer screen showing Thundrax being honored at the opening of Vancouver's World Fair. “This invites reprisal...” he says, and the last thing you hear is Destroyer's maniacal laughter.<br />
<br />

=Reviews=<br />
Thundrax - The Movie received a 22% favorable rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 18% rating on Metacritic. It<br />
<br />
“A witty and original script destroyed by elements shoehorned by the director that serve no real purpose.”<br />
<br />
“Directed with the subtle aplomb of a drunk throwing bricks.”<br />
<br />
“Now we know why there are so many riots in Vancouver.”<br />
<br />
“Phoned in performances have never been so dull and lifeless.”<br />
<br />
“Alexander Skarsgard is okay in the title role, and Bruce Willis is surprisingly poignant in the under-utilized part of Thundrax's mentor Shamus, but Željko Ivanek as Black Spectre is hopelessly miscast as the villain.”<br />
<br />
“So bad that you'll wish Black Spectre had succeeded in detonating that supervolcano back in 1986.”<br />
<br />
“Buried amid the pedestrian action sequences and explosions is a legitimate and affecting drama about a man who grows into a respected hero but still achingly searches for a father figure.”<br />
<br />
“Lightning will strike twice before they make a sequel to this turkey.”<br />
<br />
“Kellan Lutz as Dr. Destroyer's clone son is the biggest of this film's many bizarre directorial inclusions.”<br />
<br />
“Mr. Carson will need to save the world at least three times to make up for this fiasco.”<br />
<br />
“Skarsgard's many shirtless scenes are sure to please his fans.”<br />
<br />
“A formula picture kept from falling too far below the bar of mediocrity by Skarsgard, Willis, and Aaron-Taylor Johnson's hilarious Dark Prowler.”<br />
<br />
“Aaron-Taylor Johnson as the insane Dark Prowler deserves his own movie.”<br />
<br />
“A fantastic Viking metal soundtrack. The advice to 'Buy the soundtrack, skip the movie' has never been more apt.”<br />
<br />
=Box Office=<br />
Thundrax the Movie was released on September 11, 2013. It garnered a disappointing but respectable 26.1 million dollars on its opening weekend, and eventually grossed 93.4 million internationally. It was released on DVD on December 11, 2013 to modest sales.<br />
<br />
=Factual Errors=<br />
As compiled by SNN's resident movie critic, Christopher Baumgartner, on his "Capes of Wrong" review program.<br />
<br />
10. Shamus is known to have been a mutant, not a ghost.<br />
<br />
9. Cryo was never killed and is believed to be raising a family somewhere in Western Canada.<br />
<br />
8. Impulse was never romantically involved with anyone in SUNDER, and was only a member of the team briefly in 1987. a year after the movie.<br />
<br />
7. Avenger did indeed “apologize” to Dark Prowler, but not during an operation involving the Brotherhood.<br />
<br />
6. Thundrax denies he ever experienced involuntary costume changes during moments of sexual awkwardness. Also, Vancouver police questioned Thundrax after his origin, but never sent a dragnet against him.<br />
<br />
5. The Brotherhood of Terror was never beaten by SUNDER. It fell apart due to internal dissension in 1987. Black Spectre's fate is unknown, it is believed that he was murdered by his former partner, the Master-Mind.<br />
<br />
4. The Brotherhood never planned to blow up a supervolcano at the opening of the 1986 Vancouver World's Fair.<br />
<br />
3. Dark Prowler has never associated himself with villains who took a life, let alone the Brotherhood of Terror. In fact, he fought against Masquerade, the Brotherhood shapechanger who posed as the mayor of Vancouver in the mid-1980s<br />
<br />
2. Dr. Destroyer has never produced a clone son, nor was he ever known to have interacted with the Brotherhood of Terror.<br />
<br />
1. Destroyer's world conquest was shown to precede Thundrax's origin, but Craig Carson became Thundrax a year before Destroyer's mind control satellites became active.</div>Zydratehttp://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=DJ_ZydrateDJ Zydrate2013-12-04T04:33:00Z<p>Zydrate: /* IC Samples */ Word usage.</p>

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Being inspired from Daft Punk, she takes a lot of cues from their aesthetic, though she does speak (A lot). Her helmets can vary, and they each have voice modulators to help alter her voice either for practical or musical purposes.<br />
<br />
Her garb is slick and metallic, with tech outlines. Her entire aesthetic is based off of her favored genre; Electronica.<br><br />
Most of the time, her outfit is technologically advanced to be bulletproof.<br />
<br />
For her civilian appearance, see [[DJ Zydrate#Identity|Identity]].<br />
<br />
=Brief History=<br />
DJ Zydrate was discovered when she was hired for $1,000 to play music during a party at a wealthy man's penthouse. Funny enough, she was actually there to clean up when the bulk of the party had turned in for the night. She only played for about a dozen of the host's friends.<br><br />
[[File:DJZMixing.png|left|200px]]<br />
Her personality was a hit (More so than the music itself) and was hired for double that amount to play at an actual club. Her act was described on the news as "Standup comedy in 1 minute bits, followed by music", and was described to be the "next Skrillex".<br />
<br />
Her first few acts were mostly remixes of existing songs, and usually plays recent hits throughout her act.<br />
<br />
Her fame snowballed after that. A couple of her remixes were used on American Idol, she is consistently on the news (At least once or twice a month), and her shows are often sold out.<br><br />
She is currently setting up an entire concert, which she has yet to do.<br />
<br />
She was approached for a scholarship at a nearby Arts Academy, a complete full run. Since she had no real formal musical training of any kind, she accepted and is currently enrolled.<br><br />
However her identity remains mostly secret, though her personality overlaps and a few select students have been able to fish her out.<br />
<br />
She personally compares her fame to "If internet stars actually got real gigs".<br />

|-<br />
| [[File:DJZCasual.png|200px|left]] [[File:DJZCollege.png|200px|right]]<br>Amanda Kilchum is a tanned skinned, darkly-red haired woman, twenty-two years of age and attending a college under various Musical Arts programs.<br> Oddly enough, she's not much of a party-girl. Her partying is restricted to music itself, though she is known to drink liquor on occasion. (Though she can hold it and knows her limits).<br />
<br />
In college Amanda wears the proper uniform and tucks her hair into a bun. Sometimes she wears it as a ponytail but otherwise fulfills the "proper" attire.<br><br />
Her standard outfit though are casual jackets and jeans. She generally tries to keep up the cyan-theme but has been actively avoiding it to minimize identification, since she doesn't like to outright lie with "Oh, I'm just a fan". Especially since people can put two and two together. DJ-Z likes to talk about her life (minus identity). So here's a woman clad in cyans going to school for a music degree? Doesn't take a genius to sniff that out. <br><br />
Therefore, she looks average to most.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Mostly lives a normal life in an apartment building. She doesn't buy big, most of her funding goes towards her outfits.<br />
<br />
She is outwardly friendly despite being moderately political (She works in a casual level of feminism in some of her humor). That aside, she is outgoing and sociable, and has made a lot of friends in school. (Half of them don't know she's DJ Zydrate).<br />
<br />
She can be known as goofy and eccentric, but does take many topics more seriously than others. It also varies on the time of day (She's not a morning person, at all).<br><br />
The recent 'rivalry' with what can only be called a Nemesis has put her on edge as well. There's something about fearing for your life that drops one's mood.<br />
<br />
=Powers / Abilities=<br />
Little to none, however two things of note;<br />
<br />
She is a moderate hand-to-hand combatant. She has trained at a couple of Dojo's, and eventually graduated to a black belt.<br><br />
However this training is on a civilian-level. She could wipe the floor with a random mugger or hooligan, but could not stand against hardened soldiers, spies, etc.<br />
<br />
A lot of her funding goes towards powered armor as well, technology made available to her once she became a celebrity. These armors vary and she enjoys decorating them and wielding them during her shows. This also helps protect her from fanatical fans (Is that redundant?).<br><br />
Much of what she wears is bulletproof, even her iconic DJ costume.<br />
<br />
=Weaknesses=<br />
Standard human weaknesses apply here.<br />
<br />
=Nemesis=<br />
{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"<br />
! her Nemesis (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
| Nicholas Chellini is a wealthy Italian man who has ties to many legal avenues, and unfortunately illegal ones. Mostly regarding counterfeit, fraud, bribery, laundering, and backroom dealing with anything you care to name from drugs to weapons.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this is also the same man who hosted the party that DJ Zydrate began her road to fame. As a result of her success, he has gone through some effort to scam DJ-Z into giving him half (or more) of her profits. She once offered a 10% 'finders fee' or 'manager salary' because she did respect him enough to give a part of her earnings. She does credit him with starting her success, a fact she admits. However his refusal has turned violent and he has turned to illegal means to make sure she crashes and burns. From sabotaging her shows to bribing managers, he's taken to making her life inconvenient.<br />
<br />
When things get more violent, he resorts to powered armors and technology. (Like DJ-Z, he lacks powers of his own). Also like DJ-Z, he's also a master martial artist and regrettably, superior to her in that aspect.<br />

===OOC Trivia===<br />
*Inspired from two sources; Aesthetics from Daft Punk, but the comedy of Night Vale.<br />
*I don't have mixes myself, so any links used in roleplay (Probably from youtube) are purely supplemental and I won't claim to own anything.<br />
*Her Nemesis is inspired by [http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Gianni_Chellini this guy], the villain from Transporter 2.<br />
*DJ-Z is my first "normal" character in some time. Right behind [[Mira]] in normality (whom only has a few psionics).<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
<br />
The Matriarch is clad head to toe in stylized robes with light armor lacing the cloth. She dons a hood but even when that's down, her face is hidden behind a mask wherein only her glowing orange eyes can be seen.<br><br />
Beyond that, her skin can only be sighted in a couple of places. Her neck, the back of her head when her hood is down, and her gloves have two slots on her palms, presumably to facilitate blood magic.<br />
<br />
She is sometimes seen with a decorative cape with bloody designs upon them, but sometimes she is seen without it.<br />
Strapped to one of her arms are several Phylacteries that shimmer green energy.<br><br />
Sheathed on both of her hips are a basic fencing blade and a Ritual Dagger. The first for general combat and defense, the second to cut into her palms and use blood magic upon her enemies.<br />
<br />
=Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
<br />
The Matriarch is not a social person and being the leader of a cult usually means her actions are in an administrative capacity. She hears complaints, and has the final word on various situations. She speaks in a slow, low tone, and utilized the English language to its fullest capacity.<br><br />
Some may find this intimidating, but her mental processes work differently and she doesn't quite understand why her version of "small talk" seems condescending to others. Her compliments are often (accidentally) underlined with veiled insults, when in truth she really is trying to be sociable. This "effect" fades once she gets to know someone after a length of time, but this is rare as she keeps people at arm's length.<br><br />
Most people that meet her often find her sitting, reading, and sipping at the occasional wineglass. Very few see her depths, which involves a surprisingly lovely singing voice and a very poetic mind.<br />
<br />
= Arrival =<br />
Her efforts to explore the newly located Millenium City, The Matriarch had found herself at a local coffee shop. She was pleased to see that her garb did not warrant various odd looks from the local populace, though her darkly demeanor did give citizens cause for some alarm. This came in the form of averted gazes, women shuffling their children away in hushed tones, and dealing with the general assumption of her villainy.<br />
<br />
She sighed in contempt for those who surrounded her as she casually strolled in the aforementioned shop to order herself an sweetened and iced coffee, presumably mocha in flavor however it could have been another blend. The removal of her mask did not reveal much to those who braved looking upon her, as her hood continued to veil her upper face. For those who bothered to look, the lower portion of her face revealed that her veins had been blackened and led down through her neck and cowl, only cementing the assumptions that the patrons of the Shoppe had already given her.<br />
<br />
This made her casual presence and uncaring demeanor all the more jarring, for people who dress as she does are usually in the process of pestering heroes and Champions, screaming about stolen weapons, this, that, and the other thing. However The Matriarch remained eerily silent, only offering a slow nod to anyone who gave her a greeting. She stepped outside, located a table specifically designed for coffee-buyers to drink their beverage and enjoy the weather. The weather, of which, was brisk but pleasant.<br />
<br />
She had been in the city for only a week, but her problems continued to haunt her as an old acquaintance silently stepped into her visual range and claimed a seat, uninvited. Beneath her hood, her eyes narrowed, giving another sigh of contempt at her visitor.<br />
<br />
"And so, you find me," she says slowly, as is her way.<br><br />
"I never lost you, Matriarch," the man answered. She groaned in annoyance, expecting such a response.<br><br />
"It would be in both our interest, and in the interest of your health - If you leaved me alone," an ultimatum given by the Matriarch to her visitor.<br><br />
"You know I cannot do that, Matriarch," the man spoke her title as if recognizing her authority, yet speaking as an equal. She gave an incomprehensible grumble and he continued, "You are far too dangerous."<br><br />
"And you are far too annoying, Headmaster," she insulted. Her voice leaked with condescension.<br><br />
The man, identified as The Headmaster stood from his seat. It seemed he planned on keeping the interaction brief, merely announcing his presence. "Our paths end when one of us does."<br><br />
To which, she nodded in agreement. This is a fact she has resigned to live with. "Until that happens."<br><br />
"Until indeed." With that, the man identified as The Headmaster casually strolled across the street and into the unknown.<br />
<br />
The Matriarch remained with her beverage, relieved in the once-again silence of the early morning.<br />
<br />
= A Viper in the Grass =<br />
The Headmaster had arranged a meet in a Library that was, more or less, bought out by Viper operatives. The tunnels below served as a useful entry point into Millennium City and was a very low profile location for precisely this reason.<br><br />
While he did not meet the Supreme Serpent himself, he met with a highly ranked operative. He expected this as The Headmaster is not a terribly known name as of yet, though he expected the funds he was waving around would have been enough to catch the grand leader’s attention. This was not so, in his stead were a dozen or so masked men.<br><br />
This, too, made a level of sense to him. These masked operatives usually had normal lives of their own in their off-time. Perhaps many of them were normal citizens throughout the hours of the day, and perhaps this is just a job to them rather than adhere to their overall philosophies.<br />
<br />
Or perhaps The Headmaster was thinking too much and the VIPER are as disgusting as the world thinks they are.<br />
<br />
All the same, they were well connected and had resources that he needed access to. Specifically, a weapon that he plans to both aim at Ravenrooke, since he is currently unaware of his enemy’s current haunt.<br />
<br />
He brought his own entourage of vampire associates, and the VIPER probably outnumbered them by a 3 to 1 ratio. This didn't matter, he could bring them all to their knees single handed if it came to such. As it was, he remained unoffended and respected their caution.<br />
<br />
The lead operative in question was a woman, garbed similarly to general Nest Leaders so he deduced that she led this particular group. She introduced herself as “[[Mira]]”, and was a bit gruff in demeanor. For the moment, she only respected his currency. Not him.<br />
<br />
She had ordered a few other operatives to bring in an over-sized case that when opened, revealed a complex series of screens and buttons. <br />
<br />
The Headmaster sighed, and Mira caught onto this and stated, “My operative will brief you on its use. Used correctly, it could destroy a large portion of Millennium City, which would impress my superiors.”<br><br />
He asked, “How many uses does this one give?”<br><br />
Mira mentioned, “It comes with four in total, you’ll have to pay for extra shots.”<br><br />
"That should be more than enough. For now, it’s not going to be aimed at the city. Not yet, anyway."<br><br />
"Any estimation on when you will?" <br><br />
The Headmaster raised a brow upon this, “I don’t rightly know. I have a very specific enemy I am aiming to hurt. She has a base elsewhere at the moment but she’s here, in Millennium City. Once I find out where… THEN maybe we’ll talk.”<br><br />
"Good to know," Mira said. It was at that moment a couple of the Infiltrator types came fleeing down the hall and through the double doors. <br><br />
He yelped, “We have someone busting through our guards! Creepy chick with a mask!”<br />
<br />
Mira was confused for a moment but The Headmaster immediately identified the intruder. “Use your infiltrators against her. If she can’t see her enemy, we’ll be able to retreat properly.”<br><br />
She nodded at her acquaintance and ordered precisely that, not wanting to get in the way of a feud between a couple of Blood Mages. They retreated towards the upper level of the Library, where a back door was waiting for them.<br />
<br />
The Matriarch was swift however, and was able to kick down the doors and gaze at her enemy. He looked back, light reflecting off his glasses like a soulless void. He said nothing, the exchange was over. The VIPER had their payment and his vampire hirelings carried his super-weapon away. He followed closely behind.<br />
<br />
The Matriarch yelled an expletive at him, she was prepared to advance but she suddenly felt a force across her body, propelling her into a table. She saw a shimmer, a distortion in the air. Several of them. She quickly deduced she had cloaked enemies and adjusted her strategy accordingly. She maintained a stance, fighting the invisible foes.<br />
<br />
[[File:MvsV2.png|left|200px]]They proved to be… adequate. When she blocked one attack, her leg was kicked out from another. When she repelled an attack against her other leg, she received a swift knee to the mask. While the mask is tempered with magic and science, the force is still unpleasant and she fell backward into the floor.<br><br />
She had to take several moments to reassess the situation, she finally detected a kick to her abdomen and was able to grasp the assailant’s leg and throw him into some glass bookcases, where his cloak glitched out of existence. She promptly crushed his throat, and heard an audible “Urgh!” from one of the others. Another one fled up the stairs, not wanting to face her. She tried to advance but she had a few infiltrators left, impeding her progress.<br />
[[File:MvsV4.png|right|200px]]<br />
The battle went on for several minutes which annoyed The Matriarch. Her martial arts served her well but her enemies were just as trained, and continuously cloaked. She held them off moderately unscathed and defeated one or two more, until a certain point caused the final few to retreat. She presumed that simply meant their leader was now at a safe distance, which only meant that The Headmaster, the greatest threat of them all, was now out of her reach.<br />
<br />
This wouldn't do. She shuddered at the thought of the weapon she attained, and figured there was nothing for it. She had to contact one of the Champions.<br />
<br />
=Powers / Abilities=<br />
<br />
The Matriarch's powers are extensive due to living well beyond millenia. She has touched on just about every forbidden magic she has been able to get her hands on. From the dangerous study of Vitae to the madness of Qlipothic energies, she's studied and used it all at some point.<br />
<br />
However, her primary focus (As it always has been), is Blood Magic. She is able to manipulate most organic lifeforms and can otherwise use blood to fuel various combative magics. To this end, she usually has some on hand in various containers.<br />
<br />
Her absolute control over blood magic allows her to heal at an almost insane level - to the point of restructuring bones and returning lost limbs.<br />
<br />
== Powered Armor ==<br />
[[File:MatriarchArmor3.png|150px|left]]<br />
(( To Be Written))<br />
<br />
=Weaknesses=<br />
<br />
As her statistics represent, her primary focus is that of magic. While she might be able to pierce the usual fare of anti-magical fields, there are still places where her usefulness is diminished.<br />
<br />
Firstly, she has limited range. Her primary form of combat is Blood, which relies heavily on line of sight. If she cannot see her enemy, chances are she is not currently using a spell against them.<br />
<br />
Secondly, she doesn't have much in the way of technological superiority. Her blades are usually simple, though her Ritual Dagger is ornate and specially crafted (But is not used for general combat). She wears light armor at best because of her ability to regenerate rapidly.<br />
<br />
Also, while she can use most organic blood as fuel for her magic, she is often tripped up by finding a creature or species whose blood she is unfamiliar with. This is detrimental for general control so instead she attempts to retrieve some blood and flee, for further study so that she may later be able to face the enemy.<br />
<br />
She may have the dexterity, endurance (etc) of an Athlete, most of her general body conditioning is not specially superhuman.<br />
<br />
The usual strategy of killing someone with rapid healing is decapitation. This does work to a certain extent, however her soul is split across the world (and even the universe), so her soul would simply be recycled after an incalculable amount of time. She tries to avoid this however, as it's not a comfortable process and it would take her out of whatever she's doing, from days to months.<br />
<br />
She operates under different thought processes than most, uses large words, and doesn't think much of anyone around her. As a result, she is typically not well liked upon a first impression and it is not ideal for her to be in heavily social situations.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Nemesis=<br />
<br />
[[File:The Headmaster.png|300px|left]]<br />
The Headmaster is an extremely powerful Blood Mage that took The Matriarch under his wing, back when she was still known as "Livia". He had been leader of the cult for around a hundred and fifty years before Livia came around. He had suffered through all the political and public issues that still affect the cult today.<br />
<br />
He was very kind to Livia, reminding him of himself. She looked at the forbidden arts as another puzzle to uncover, not a means of power and control. He had the same philosophy, which was the reason the cult was so renowned as being "one of the only good ones".<br />
<br />
Under his patronage, Livia spent the next century or so within the vast halls of the underground. Her interest in the forbidden arts caught the attention of local Magisters, but The Headmaster was always there to cover her side, in an almost lawyer-like capacity.<br />
<br />
When the mid to late 1900's rolled around, the Gnosis cult was undergoing one of its greatest golden ages (There weren't many). Under The Headmaster's patronage, Gnosis Genealogia was a respected mystical organization until a series of two events slingshot them back down into the "Murder Incorporated" type stereotype.<br />
<br />
It began with their Patron, a blood God named ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦. The cult had begun having issues with an unnamed splinter group. It was a powerful student and several of his closest confidants. They began a ritual to exploit it, their initial plans was to tap into its power directly. After a time they decided to attempt to absorb it directly.<br><br />
The head of this group took a large portion of the cult under the guise of an "Experiment", a common term at the time. It was there that their ritual mostly succeeded - just not into the intended target. Instead, Livia was present and she then absorbed the entity, giving her several millenia worth of information.<br />
<br />
The Headmaster arrived with several of his top Professors and the student who led this Ritual was executed within minutes. They turned to Livia, and brought her to the highest of magical hierarchy at the time. This was an attempt at diplomacy, a sign of good will that they still bow to the laws.<br />
<br />
She was held in a castle for a few weeks while The Headmaster, as usual, continued to be on her side with the higher ups. She defended herself well, showing everyone that she had no plans to meltdown into a power trip that the original group had planned.<br />
Eventually the castle came under attack by enemy necromancers and thanks to the present Blood Mage's aid, repelled the attack.<br />
<br />
Livia, having been instrumental in the defense of a few of the world's greatest Magisters, was then rewarded her Mask and title of "The Matriarch". She then began teaching within the cult, as her expertise was near The Headmaster's himself.<br />
<br />
The reputation of Blood Mages in general was never better - but this age of respect did not last long.<br />
<br />
Several months had past and The Matriarch met with The Headmaster. Between the lines of the conversion, she had deduced that he was behind most of what had happened to her - starting with the Ritual.<br><br />
It was he, whom arranged his top student to attempt it.<br><br />
It was he, whom gave necromancers the intel needed to attack.<br><br />
It was he, whom arranged Livia specifically to be the greatest defense of the attack. He ordered the students present to back off while Livia took the brunt of the necromancer's hostility, coming out on top. Looking like a hero, and improving the reputation of his cult and Blood Mages in general.<br />
<br />
He betrayed his top student and betrayed Livia, pushing her up beyond her station.<br />
<br />
She did not immediately mention how hurt she was by this, that she should have earned her own way with the Magisters.<br><br />
She continued this by going to the Magisters themselves and informing them of all she had learned. They respected her trust and The Headmaster was made an enemy of all who use magic.<br />
<br />
The Matriarch was then promoted by the Magisters to lead Gnosis Genealogia, though their numbers had diminished after the public reveal of The Headmaster's treachery.<br />
<br />
He continues to respect The Matriarch and her power, but their methods and philosophy became too different and are now enemies. It is a very polite rivalry, and one that is a bit too evenly matched for The Matriarch's comfort. However they both plan to execute each other, whenever the opportunity presents itself.<br />

==RP Hooks==<br />
<br />
*Wizards high up in the hierarchy of their chosen organization might have heard or read about Gnosis Genealogia or the Matriarch at some point. Spellcasters and mystics of lesser rank could happen upon a Tome or something that mentions one or both of them as well.<br />
**By extension, higher ranked Mystics would probably be privvy to the information blacked out above. If you wish to interact with her and think your character would know about it, then it can be discussed prior to the interaction.<br />
*Random walk-ups might be a bit tricky so I would recommend sending a /tell with your intentions.<br />

=Trivia=<br />
<br />
*I like to imagine her with the Jack of Blades mask, or a very close equivalent.<br />
**She doesn't actually "Hide" her face. She wears the mask because she likes it (And would say just this to anyone who inquires). It also has some cult relevance, see that section for details.<br />
**By extension, her name isn't that much of a secret either and would share it if directly asked, however she prefers her title.<br />
*She is only "Lawful Evil" in the sense of order and scale. She's more of an Anti-Villain and doesn't harbor antagonistic plans against any populace.<br />
*A lot of my lore works under a Multiverse concept and as a result, Livia is actually one of many "Duplicates" of Kyna. They look about the same, though Livia has a few mutations so someone would only be able to point out the similarities if they were literally standing next to each other.<br />
*She shares a similar origin story and motivation as Kiur.<br />
*This character is inspired by the Bloodbending Concept from The Last Airbender mythos, however I also borrow the "mechanics" of blood magic from Dragon Age II.<br />

=Appearance=<br />
[[File:SuitedKyna.png|200px|left]]<br />
Kyna is a very 'what you see is what you get' kind of woman. She dresses very practically and can vary for whichever situation she may be in. More often than not, people will find her in casual combat gear with a pair of goggles that may be used for a multitude of purposes. Some knives and ranged weaponry may be seen, hinting to the fact that this woman is a walking weapon, and that there is probably more that one may not be able to see at first glance.<br />
<br />
She wears expensively tailored suits and many assume her to be some kind of CEO or government employee. Other times, notably in her off-hours, she can be seen in jeans (Sometimes with a camouflage design) and tank-top or simple shirt. <br>Her right arm is heavily tattooed.<br><br />
She is athletic and toned, yet walks with a strange noble grace.<br><br />
For all intents and purposes, she looks human. However it is her eyes that are usually the first thing people notice. They are an inhuman purple (An iris may or may not be present), and they seem to glow in dimly lit areas.<br />
<br />
=Recent Affairs=<br />
Kyna's history is extensive and convoluted, and outlining her history would fill a novel.<br />
<br />
Simply put, she has followed [[Madgod Matthias]] into this particular timeline and acts as his Gatekeeper. She keeps a close eye on him to make sure he does not slip into one of his omni-cidal phases. He is her primary charge, but she fills her time performing hero work. Unknown to the public however, she does perform assassinations as well (Though she makes sure they deserve it).<br />
<br />
== Flux ==<br />
[[File:NobleKyna1b.png|left|200px]]Kyna walked down the hallway of her throne room straight to the balcony that once overlooked her kingdom of [http://vanguarddatabase.wikia.com/wiki/Karmajia Karmajia]. Upon the balcony, Kyna had looked upward to the sky. Supernatural and wonderful. Purple, dim hues and cosmological clouds fluctuate. A lightning-like energy pulsated around them, the light of universes. There was nothing here, only her city, her people. She wished she could stay but her gaze regained its purpose and looks downward.<br><br />
At that moment, it served the regrettable purpose of chasing down a rogue God. A large, multicolored vortex littered the area that her subjects once gathered to hear their leader speak. Only the Praetoria surrounded it, guarding entry for their Lady.<br />
<br />
Lady Shadowcrest, she was called there. Its relevance is different year by year, and for that moment the title meant nothing.<br />
It had been some time since she last saw her charge. Far too long, she thought. Only scattered reports of the carnage he had caused in other timelines. She heard that an entire universe went dark without her presence, the Madgod had destroyed everything.<br />
<br />
She sighed audibly, one of her Praetoria inquired. She said nothing for several moments before speaking only, "It must be done".<br />
<br />
She dove into the vortex, energies that had already been tuned to target the rogue God and follow him throughout time and space. This was not a process she enjoyed, as it warped her very essence to mold towards the universe she is landing in.<br />
Her stomach twisted and turned, her muscles tightened. Her clothing, skin, and bones burns away as she plummets through a blue and purple void. The process seemed to break her down only to build her back into a more suitable form for the target.<br />
She lost sense of time, emotion, and urgency. Her mind defaulted to the most basic and important of memories. A wife, a god, fighting, war, friends. It's jumbled and random and despite this entire process encompassing mere seconds, she just wished it would end more quickly.<br />
<br />
Finally, she thought. She felt the cold, crumbled asphalt beneath her nude body. It was night. Her feet felt it first, second only to the tips of her fingers. She smelled rubber, and water. Her landing had broken a pipe.<br />
<br />
While she wasn't blind, her sight came to her a few moments later. Her brain was temporarily incapable of registering her surroundings while the sense of touch helped the process. Looking around, she had seen nobody approaching.<br><br />
She took the pause an utilized her shadow to craft a basic set of clothing. A suit, it would work for now. Though it wasn't the best first choice, as it got dirty as she crawled out of the hole she had made. Her brain was still muddled, and flopped on her back. She didn't even notice that the broken pipe soaked her pants, and the dirt and soot made her look like a CEO just got tossed out of the 40th floor.<br />
<br />
That, too, was one of her first sights. Skyscrapers, lights. Beautiful architecture.<br><br />
As her senses became more acclimated to the surroundings, she heard the shuffling of feet. Turning her head, she saw humans. And... other things. Humanoids, of varying kinds in modern clothing. They approached her, side by side, trying to inquire into her situation but she wasn't quite cognizant yet. Their mouths moved and sound came out, but she could not comprehend their words. <br><br />
She blinked, hoping it would help. It didn't. <br><br />
She sat up and an indescribable pain shot through her body, and left as soon as it came. She let forth an audible groan and some lizard-type-woman leaned down and tried to help her up. She accepted this, and stood up along with them.<br />
<br />
Kyna stood well, but the bystanders couldn't see that she could barely stand at all. Her muscles shook and wavered, but her senses were coming back to her.<br />
<br />
The questions came. Things like "Are you okay?" and "Who are you?". She didn't answer, remaining silent and walked forth into the world.<br><br />
She had bigger problems, a God was near. Several of them, in fact. However it was just one that was relevant, just one that she needed to find and follow.<br />
<br />
Kyna remained mute and marched forward. She vaguely heard someone refer to her as "fine, bitch".<br />
<br />
=Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
The first word that comes to mind for most people regarding Kyna is "classy". She has off days and lazy-days like everyone else, but for the most part she maintains grace, style, and class. She wears expensive suits, orders top-shelf liquor, and plays the violin for special guests to her apartments.<br><br />
Her sense of humor is based primarily on sarcasm, and she respects others who engage in such styles of conversations. To her, sarcasm implies wit, and she has more respect for those of moderate intelligence.<br />
<br />
=Powers / Abilities=<br />
[[File:KynaSF.png|left|240px]]The usual fare of shadow abilities that most [http://vanguarddatabase.wikia.com/wiki/Trahl'es'das Trahl'es'das] have, it also infuses into her martial abilities.<br />
<br />
She is an incredibly brutal and efficient martial artist. Some may think she fights dirty but she was trained (And designed) to win. From dust-throwing to crotch-slamming, she will make sure to disable her enemy.<br />
<br />
She can learn her enemy as she is fighting them. She is able to calculate multiple moves in advance, multiple outcomes, and possible attacks from the enemy. For example, if she notices an enemy has a regenerative ability, she will calculate how quickly it is and inflict more wounds based on healing speed. <br><br />
<br />
:All of this is mostly based around being a Trahl. If her innate shadow abilities are debilitated (in extremely rare occasions, this is not something that be "turned off"), everything she is able to do is brought down to human-like.<br />
<br />
Over the years she has been able to learn several world languages.<br />
<br />
=Weaknesses=<br />
As per being a Trahl, she is weak against Holy/Light/Radiant energies. Even to the extent of becoming sick in the presence of a concentrated amount of it.<br />
<br />
The sun lessens her abilities, though her non-magic skills can usually compensate.<br />
<br />
As noted above; If her innate shadow abilities are debilitated (in extremely rare occasions, this is not something than be "turned off"), everything she is able to do is brought down to human-like.<br />
<br />
In a lesser form of weakness, it seems she is incapable of knowing when she is flirted with. She has been unable to figure out why. She often gets made fun of for this.<br />
<br />
=Nemesis=<br />
[[File:Matthias Building.png|left|250px]] M is her charge. As a sort of "Gatekeeper", she follows him across the universe (at his own behest) to make sure the damage he causes is kept to a minimum. However they have a difference in philosophy. For her, it's "Control". For him, it's "Exterminate". Because of this, they often butt heads even without undergoing one of his ritualistic omnicidal phases (Which only happens every few thousand years). <br><br />
This has even led to a [http://vanguarddatabase.wikia.com/wiki/The_Civil_War Civil War] on their own timeline.<br />
<br />
While she may be his Gatekeeper, M is hardly her worst enemy.<br />
<br />
She often shares the same enemies as M, chief of which is [[Alistair]], a powerful (if cowardly) battlemage in charge of some of the deadliest combatants they've ever faced.<br />
<br />
To a lesser extent, there are a few scattered vampires that make enemies with her for past grievances. A self-titled villain named "Sanguine" (She is not a clever woman) mounts the greatest offense. While she is easily defeated, she makes up for in resources and outright tenacity.<br />

*Has not been roleplayed on Champions Online for ~2 years, and as such has undergone a lot of storyline development. (And retcons of the Vanguard ever having a presence in the CO universe).<br />
*Is my oldest and most played character on CO.<br />
*Who could play her? [http://www.hdwallpapersdj.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/michelle-rodriguez-smiling.jpg Michelle] [http://lh4.google.com/fisherwy/Rw4qRFKtdZI/AAAAAAAAJ4c/Ui5qba-1BPM/michelle%20rodriguez%20violate%20DUI%20probations%5B4%5D.jpg Rodriguez]<br><br />
:Similar build, and hair. Not quite the same face but, close enough to portray her properly. Even the voice is good, though she'd need to be a bit more monotonous for Kyna.<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Her PTSD doesn't really affect the way she acts against others, it only gives her brief moments throughout the day where she cannot function properly. In which case she simply "locks down", takes some medication and remains statuesque for about two minutes for her to "come to", and she moves along with her day.<br />
<br />
She is fascinated with the world around her, because what little memories she has left are usually of an unremarkable life of a simple young adult whose family got picked off one by one, by various mundane incidents like heart attacks and car crashes. Her grief manifested into cynicism, which for the most part she still has. Though at this point those are old wounds and most of her current level of hatred is aimed directly at PSI.<br />
<br />
After Phase 4 she led a fairly normal life outside of being a public superhero with a long abandoned identity (She barely remembers her own name). She has an apartment (Which was not as readily furnished as Primus claimed), which she has tailored to her previously low to middle class life. Rife with midlevel computers, televisions, and even a pinball machine just to say she has one.<br />
<br />
From Phase 4 Onward she is seen as outgoing and readily friendly to others. Her psyche reports mention that there's a lot of hate in her, but it's aimed in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />
She has various forms of Psionics and Telepthy of varying effectiveness. She has plenty of power, she just doesn't know what all she has and how to use it.<br />
<br />
She can phase weapons out of her soul's energy, which she uses in most forms of combat and is often the first power anyone ever sees her use.<br />
<br />
= Weaknesses=<br />
While she's practically godlike, much of her human form is fairly... standard.<br><br />
She does not run quickly, punch hard, or aim particularly well. She does all of these things adequately, but when put in a situation where nuking things into non-existence with her very soul, she does not perform extraordinarily. <br />
<br />
From Phase 2 to 4, her powers cause immediate pain. This pain is psychological as she remembers what happened during her "transformation", it gets better every time she uses it.<br />
<br />
While in Phase 4 (Acceptance), she's not very brave and will avoid situations unless thrust upon her. Despite her going full hero status, she's still generally afraid of using her powers.<br />
<br />
After ascension her weaknesses swing back to her human body, which is not necessarily extraordinary.<br />
<br />
= Phases =<br />
(( OOC Section ))<br><br />
Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />
These restrictions '''may''' be removed after each phase when roleplayed.<br><br />
The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />
<br />
== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|200px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png]]<br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />
{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"<br />
! Acceptance (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
[[File:3ArchonAcceptance.png|left]]<br />
Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />

== Summary of Events ==<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"<br />
! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />
= Extra=<br />
== Tropes==<br />
== RP Hooks==<br />
*Most of PRIMUS is aware that she is a direct cause of the Disaster in Nevada, though (most) don't blame her.<br />
**The rest of the public is blaming the incident on PSI. They have denied these claims but given their reputation, their credibility is low and this works in Archon's favor.<br />
*She is a registered superhero, and is active in that work. As of writing this article, she has not quite made the news. PRIMUS is helping by giving her hero-related work that may get her some airtime.<br />
**She has, however, been featured on "Heroes to Watch", a web article that outlines a couple of new-to-the-scene heroes every week.<br />
*She is heavily anti-PSI so other champions with a similar goal may have heard of her. By extension, she's definitely on a "Please get this woman off our ass" list for the PSI.<br />

== Trivia==<br />
*Archon's story arc is replayable, for multiple people or to attempt multiple strategies.<br />
**By extension, Phases 2 and 3 '''can fail.''' Since she's already at rock bottom in two different ways, failing doesn't make anything worse. She just continues with what she is doing at the time.<br />
*Despite sharing a similar title-like moniker with [[The Matriarch]], Archon actually has nothing to do with her or the blood cult.<br />

Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />

Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />

She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />

! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />

== Tropes==<br />
== RP Hooks==<br />
*Most of PRIMUS is aware that she is a direct cause of the Disaster in Nevada, though (most) don't blame her.<br />
**The rest of the public is blaming the incident on PSI. They have denied these claims but given their reputation, their credibility is low and this works in Archon's favor.<br />
*She is a registered superhero, and is active in that work. As of writing this article, she has not quite made the news. PRIMUS is helping by giving her hero-related work that may get her some airtime.<br />
**She has, however, been featured on "Heroes to Watch", a web article that outlines a couple of new-to-the-scene heroes every week.<br />
*She is heavily anti-PSI so other champions with a similar goal may have heard of her. By extension, she's definitely on a "Please get this woman off our ass" list for the PSI.<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Her PTSD doesn't really affect the way she acts against others, it only gives her brief moments throughout the day where she cannot function properly. In which case she simply "locks down", takes some medication and remains statuesque for about two minutes for her to "come to", and she moves along with her day.<br />
<br />
She is fascinated with the world around her, because what little memories she has left are usually of an unremarkable life of a simple young adult whose family got picked off one by one, by various mundane incidents like heart attacks and car crashes. Her grief manifested into cynicism, which for the most part she still has. Though at this point those are old wounds and most of her current level of hatred is aimed directly at PSI.<br />
<br />
After Phase 4 she led a fairly normal life outside of being a public superhero with a long abandoned identity (She barely remembers her own name). She has an apartment (Which was not as readily furnished as Primus claimed), which she has tailored to her previously low to middle class life. Rife with midlevel computers, televisions, and even a pinball machine just to say she has one.<br />
<br />
From Phase 4 Onward she is seen as outgoing and readily friendly to others. Her psyche reports mention that there's a lot of hate in her, but it's aimed in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />
She has various forms of Psionics and Telepthy of varying effectiveness. She has plenty of power, she just doesn't know what all she has and how to use it.<br />
<br />
She can phase weapons out of her soul's energy, which she uses in most forms of combat and is often the first power anyone ever sees her use.<br />
<br />
= Weaknesses=<br />
While she's practically godlike, much of her human form is fairly... standard.<br><br />
She does not run quickly, punch hard, or aim particularly well. She does all of these things adequately, but when put in a situation where nuking things into non-existence with her very soul, she does not perform extraordinarily. <br />
<br />
From Phase 2 to 4, her powers cause immediate pain. This pain is psychological as she remembers what happened during her "transformation", it gets better every time she uses it.<br />
<br />
While in Phase 4 (Acceptance), she's not very brave and will avoid situations unless thrust upon her. Despite her going full hero status, she's still generally afraid of using her powers.<br />
<br />
After ascension her weaknesses swing back to her human body, which is not necessarily extraordinary.<br />
<br />
= Phases =<br />
(( OOC Section ))<br><br />
Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />
These restrictions '''may''' be removed after each phase when roleplayed.<br><br />
The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />
<br />
== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|200px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png]]<br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans.

<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />

<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />

Rife with midlevel computers, televisions, and even a pinball machine just to say she has one.<br />
<br />
From Phase 4 Onward she is seen as outgoing and readily friendly to others. Her psyche reports mention that there's a lot of hate in her, but it's aimed in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />
She has various forms of Psionics and Telepthy of varying effectiveness. She has plenty of power, she just doesn't know what all she has and how to use it.<br />
<br />
She can phase weapons out of her soul's energy, which she uses in most forms of combat and is often the first power anyone ever sees her use.<br />
<br />
= Weaknesses=<br />
While she's practically godlike, much of her human form is fairly... standard.<br><br />
She does not run quickly, punch hard, or aim particularly well. She does all of these things adequately, but when put in a situation where nuking things into non-existence with her very soul, she does not perform extraordinarily. <br />
<br />
From Phase 2 to 4, her powers cause immediate pain. This pain is psychological as she remembers what happened during her "transformation", it gets better every time she uses it.<br />
<br />
While in Phase 4 (Acceptance), she's not very brave and will avoid situations unless thrust upon her. Despite her going full hero status, she's still generally afraid of using her powers.<br />
<br />
After ascension her weaknesses swing back to her human body, which is not necessarily extraordinary.<br />
<br />

(( OOC Section ))<br><br />
Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />
These restrictions '''may''' be removed after each phase when roleplayed.<br><br />
The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />
<br />
== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|200px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png]]<br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />
{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"<br />
! Acceptance (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
[[File:3ArchonAcceptance.png|left]]<br />
Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />

! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />
= Extra=<br />
== Tropes==<br />
== RP Hooks==<br />
*Most of PRIMUS is aware that she is a direct cause of the Disaster in Nevada, though (most) don't blame her.<br />
**The rest of the public is blaming the incident on PSI. They have denied these claims but given their reputation, their credibility is low and this works in Archon's favor.<br />
*She is a registered superhero, and is active in that work. As of writing this article, she has not quite made the news. PRIMUS is helping by giving her hero-related work that may get her some airtime.<br />
**She has, however, been featured on "Heroes to Watch", a web article that outlines a couple of new-to-the-scene heroes every week.<br />
*She is heavily anti-PSI so other champions with a similar goal may have heard of her. By extension, she's definitely on a "Please get this woman off our ass" list for the PSI.<br />

== Trivia==<br />
*Archon's story arc is replayable, for multiple people or to attempt multiple strategies.<br />
**By extension, Phases 2 and 3 '''can fail.''' Since she's already at rock bottom in two different ways, failing doesn't make anything worse. She just continues with what she is doing at the time.<br />
*Despite sharing a similar title-like moniker with [[The Matriarch]], Archon actually has nothing to do with her or the blood cult.<br />

=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Her PTSD doesn't really affect the way she acts against others, it only gives her brief moments throughout the day where she cannot function properly. In which case she simply "locks down", takes some medication and remains statuesque for about two minutes for her to "come to", and she moves along with her day.<br />
<br />
She is fascinated with the world around her, because what little memories she has left are usually of an unremarkable life of a simple young adult whose family got picked off one by one, by various mundane incidents like heart attacks and car crashes. Her grief manifested into cynicism, which for the most part she still has. Though at this point those are old wounds and most of her current level of hatred is aimed directly at PSI.<br />
<br />

**She has, however, been featured on "Heroes to Watch", a web article that outlines a couple of new-to-the-scene heroes every week.<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Her PTSD doesn't really affect the way she acts against others, it only gives her brief moments throughout the day where she cannot function properly. In which case she simply "locks down", takes some medication and remains statuesque for about two minutes for her to "come to", and she moves along with her day.<br />
<br />
She is fascinated with the world around her, because what little memories she has left are usually of an unremarkable life of a simple young adult whose family got picked off one by one, by various mundane incidents like heart attacks and car crashes. Her grief manifested into cynicism, which for the most part she still has. Though at this point those are old wounds and most of her current level of hatred is aimed directly at PSI.<br />
<br />
After Phase 4 she led a fairly normal life outside of being a public superhero with a long abandoned identity (She barely remembers her own name). She has an apartment (Which was not as readily furnished as Primus claimed), which she has tailored to her previously low to middle class life. Rife with midlevel computers, televisions, and even a pinball machine just to say she has one.<br />
<br />
From Phase 4 Onward she is seen as outgoing and readily friendly to others. Her psyche reports mention that there's a lot of hate in her, but it's aimed in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />
She has various forms of Psionics and Telepthy of varying effectiveness. She has plenty of power, she just doesn't know what all she has and how to use it.<br />
<br />
She can phase weapons out of her soul's energy, which she uses in most forms of combat and is often the first power anyone ever sees her use.<br />
<br />
= Weaknesses=<br />
While she's practically godlike, much of her human form is fairly... standard.<br><br />
She does not run quickly, punch hard, or aim particularly well. She does all of these things adequately, but when put in a situation where nuking things into non-existence with her very soul, she does not perform extraordinarily. <br />
<br />
From Phase 2 to 4, her powers cause immediate pain. This pain is psychological as she remembers what happened during her "transformation", it gets better every time she uses it.<br />
<br />
While in Phase 4 (Acceptance), she's not very brave and will avoid situations unless thrust upon her. Despite her going full hero status, she's still generally afraid of using her powers.<br />
<br />
After ascension her weaknesses swing back to her human body, which is not necessarily extraordinary.<br />
<br />
= Phases =<br />
(( OOC Section ))<br><br />
Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />
These restrictions '''may''' be removed after each phase when roleplayed.<br><br />
The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />
<br />
== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|200px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png]]<br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />
{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"<br />
! Acceptance (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
[[File:3ArchonAcceptance.png|left]]<br />
Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />

{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"<br />
! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />

<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />

The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />

She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />

! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />

<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
Her PTSD doesn't really affect the way she acts against others, it only gives her brief moments throughout the day where she cannot function properly. In which case she simply "locks down", takes some medication and remains statuesque for about two minutes for her to "come to", and she moves along with her day.<br />
<br />
She is fascinated with the world around her, because what little memories she has left are usually of an unremarkable life of a simple young adult whose family got picked off one by one, by various mundane incidents like heart attacks and car crashes. Her grief manifested into cynicism, which for the most part she still has. Though at this point those are old wounds and most of her current level of hatred is aimed directly at PSI.<br />
<br />
After Phase 4 she led a fairly normal life outside of being a public superhero with a long abandoned identity (She barely remembers her own name). She has an apartment (Which was not as readily furnished as Primus claimed), which she has tailored to her previously low to middle class life. Rife with midlevel computers, televisions, and even a pinball machine just to say she has one.<br />
<br />
From Phase 4 Onward she is seen as outgoing and readily friendly to others. Her psyche reports mention that there's a lot of hate in her, but it's aimed in the proper direction.<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />
She has various forms of Psionics and Telepthy of varying effectiveness. She has plenty of power, she just doesn't know what all she has and how to use it.<br />
<br />
She can phase weapons out of her soul's energy, which she uses in most forms of combat and is often the first power anyone ever sees her use.<br />
<br />
= Weaknesses=<br />
While she's practically godlike, much of her human form is fairly... standard.<br><br />
She does not run quickly, punch hard, or aim particularly well. She does all of these things adequately, but when put in a situation where nuking things into non-existence with her very soul, she does not perform extraordinarily. <br />
<br />
From Phase 2 to 4, her powers cause immediate pain. This pain is psychological as she remembers what happened during her "transformation", it gets better every time she uses it.<br />
<br />
While in Phase 4 (Acceptance), she's not very brave and will avoid situations unless thrust upon her. Despite her going full hero status, she's still generally afraid of using her powers.<br />
<br />
After ascension her weaknesses swing back to her human body, which is not necessarily extraordinary.<br />
<br />
= Phases =<br />
(( OOC Section ))<br><br />
Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />
These restrictions '''may''' be removed after each phase when roleplayed.<br><br />
The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />
<br />
== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|200px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png]]<br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />

On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|200px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png]]<br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />

|<br />
[[File:3ArchonAcceptance.png|left]]<br />
Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />

! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />

By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />

<br />
=Appearance=<br />
Archon has a dark complexion that is usually tempered with bright colors such as white or red, often with black trims and outlines. She tends to remain in her Archon-dressed persona, an ornate white and black garb that is both designed for practicality and image.<br />
<br />
= Personality and Lifestyle=<br />
<br />
= Powers / Abilities=<br />
All of her powers are related to her soul, which turns out to be quite versatile as her soul is often compared to a "power source" rather than a mutation.<br />
<br />
Her powers are described as radiant-like sorcery, which means she is able to heal wounds as well as various other practical uses.<br />
<br />
She has various forms of Psionics and Telepthy of varying effectiveness. She has plenty of power, she just doesn't know what all she has and how to use it.<br />
<br />
She can phase weapons out of her soul's energy, which she uses in most forms of combat and is often the first power anyone ever sees her use.<br />
<br />
= Weaknesses=<br />
While she's practically godlike, much of her human form is fairly... standard.<br><br />
She does not run quickly, punch hard, or aim particularly well. She does all of these things adequately, but when put in a situation where nuking things into non-existence with her very soul, she does not perform extraordinarily. <br />
<br />
From Phase 2 to 4, her powers cause immediate pain. This pain is psychological as she remembers what happened during her "transformation", it gets better every time she uses it.<br />
<br />
While in Phase 4 (Acceptance), she's not very brave and will avoid situations unless thrust upon her. Despite her going full hero status, she's still generally afraid of using her powers.<br />
<br />
After ascension her weaknesses swing back to her human body, which is not necessarily extraordinary.<br />
<br />
= Phases =<br />
(( OOC Section ))<br><br />
Archon's story arc is based around certain "phases". These phases can be roleplayed and replayed. This is similar to [[Lady Mechrome]], whom also has a "replayable" story-arc. While Lady-M utilizes the Fatal Error series to facilitate her own story, Archon's storyline will be more akin to an on-table campaign, much of the roleplay will not involve any combat, as it revolves the recuperation of her mind.<br>In the interest of keeping things in suspense, each phase (Except for the first) will be hidden under Spoiler tags in the event you don't want to know the storyline immediately.<br><br />
These restrictions '''may''' be removed after each phase when roleplayed.<br><br />
The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />

The profile image will also be updated to reflect each phase. <br><br />

== Phase 1 - Disaster in Nevada ==<br />
[[File:Nevada.png|240px|left]]<br />
On November 29, 2013 at approximately 7:12am; A large explosion in the middle of the technology-driven city of New Shores has shaken its populace.<br><br />
The source of the explosion was the "Dream Center", a facility developing technology to look into dreamscapes and general mind-reading technology without the need for metahuman abilities.<br><br />
The explosion claimed approximately two-hundred lives, reports are still coming in on the injured but the current estimation is another three-hundred injuries. There is no count to the amount of scientists lost in the Dream Center, so one can only expect for these numbers to rise as more information becomes available.<br><br />
There was an immediate announcement by the Mayor stating that there was a failure in experimental technology, stating that there was a power overload that led to this devastation. Authorities have already begun showing up to investigate this claim, caused by the suspicious nature of the explosion. Local champions have gone on record in stating that the explosion was not born of technology, though we have not gained further information on this matter.<br />
PRIMUS has taken a large portion of the infestation and has begun transporting relevant evidence and objects to their headquarters in Millennium City, where they have a base of operations that is fully equipped to investigate this matter.<br />
<br />
== Phase 2 - Coma Patient ==<br />
[[File:ArchonProfile.png|200px|left]]<br />
The explosion melted most of the facility but there will still some parts untouched. However the effects were still seen throughout.<br><br />
The center of the explosion was difficult to get to due to a mountain of collapsed rubble, much of it from surrounding buildings caving in after the foundations no longer existed.<br />
<br />
This process took several days, in which the death toll reached five hundred, and the injuries count reached a similar number. News began covering the loss with frequency, and memorials were erected.<br />
<br />
During the dig, there was a mounting evidence against the PSI organization, which began to make sense as the facility was researching dreams. While the bulk of evidence was effectively destroyed, other parts of the facility still had relevant information regarding the incident.<br />
<br />
When they reached the source of the explosion, PRIMUS were surprised to find a woman in the rubble, entirely nude and dirty from the rubble, but otherwise unfazed. Her body also had pulsating lines of energy within her skin, permeating throughout her body.<br><br />
She was immediately dubbed relevant and transported to a facility in Millennium City.<br />
<br />
She was about impossible to directly identify without further information. Throughout the Dream Center there were only reports of "Subject #474" and "Project Understanding". A lot was missing due to the destruction, though PSI is mentioned and investigations immediately began and the organization made several suspicious movements after the incident.<br />
<br />
The woman was deduced to be the Subject 474, and was discovered to be in a coma when attempts to wake her proved fruitless. She was sent to a special hospital in Millennium City, a specially guarded wing while PRIMUS investigated further.<br />
<br />
While the technology from the Dream Center was under study, PRIMUS contacted powerful Psions in order to enter the woman's mind in order to discover the secrets behind the incident in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
[[File:ArchonDreams.png]]<br><br />
When her mind was entered, the hired heroes discovered a ghastly sight. The ensuing realm wasn't so much disturbing, but more... wrong.<br><br />
They were treated with a ruined metropolis with a black, red, and purple sky. A supernatural wind blew through the 'city'. Upon exploration they found a large statue of a large woman bound in armor and chains, nailed to a chair befitting of her size. Nearby was another woman, smaller. She was identified as being the woman in the coma, yet vaguely deformed. She was missing the area surrounding her heart. Ribs were shown, but no muscle, organs or gore. In place of her heart was a black mass of pulsating energy.<br />
<br />
A long discussion ensued.<br />
<br />
The armored 'statue' was revealed to be a sentient soul - hers. <br>The Armored Soul is what speaks first. It is polite in interacting with the mindreaders, she introduced herself as the girl's anguish and fury. That the explosion was because her soul burned brighter than most and PSI's experimentation accidentally detonated it. In the girl's grief of the devastation, she "locked" her soul away and essentially put herself into a comatose state so that she wouldn't hurt anyone else.<br />
<br />
Many other justifications ensue. She does not want to enter a world that she feels dislikes or hates. From religion, to gender, to orientation, she feels most of the planet is politically against her and does not want to help save a world full of problems.<br />
<br />
She also reveals the true source of the problem - The Dream Center. A facility designed by PSI (Though she did not know this at the time), she was effectively kidnapped along with hundreds of others. Beneath the facility was a prison-like sector where everyone was forced to utilize experimental technology. The idea was to explore the complex minds of humans. Since mind reading is two dimensional for many - like reading a book or watching a movie. And that's just for experienced Psionics. The Dream Center sought to make mindreading three-dimensional, stepping directly into someones mind as if walking through an amusement park and actively taking part in the subject's mind.<br />
<br />
However the technology was imperfect and led to severe mental degradation. Her resistance just made it worse as her mind and body wore down further. She overheard conversations of further trauma to be inflicted on her and her soul acted out, leading to the explosion.<br />
<br />
It takes some convincing (Which takes a combination of logic or clever personality manipulation) to break through her anger and indifference. In the end, she decides to awaken.<br />
<br />
The PRIMUS doctors thanked the heroes and told them they would take care of the woman in days to come, though she was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<br />
<br />
== Phase 3 - Homeless ==<br />
[[File:ArchonHomeless2.png]]<br>The woman's problems are far from over as PRIMUS operatives contact more heroes Or the same ones, it doesn't matter to them) and explain that they have lost contact with their charge. The apartment is abandoned and the cellphone was found to be in a trashcan. The weekly funding stipend continues, but no withdrawals are being made.<br />
<br />
After some investigation, the heroes discover that the woman is now homeless and wandering the streets. She thinks she has unofficially joined several gangs but can't keep track, she just does what she can to not be accost on the street so she can avoid hurting anyone.<br><br />
After some discussion it becomes known that she is essentially trying to starve herself to death and it isn't working. She feels the pains of hunger but it isn't giving her the satisfaction of the "long sleep" as she refers to it.<br />
<br />
Once again, a combination of logic and personality manipulation was needed to snap her out of it.<br />
<br />
The end result is optimistic - she feels the need to pay PSI in kind for the horrible things done to her and decides to register as a hero. She takes up the moniker "Archon", in relation to the lore of Archons being soul-infused leaders of men.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Phase 4 - Acceptance ==<br />

Archon still suffers from PTSD but with a combination of medication and metahuman-related therapy, she becomes healthier in time. <br />
<br />
She finds an appropriate outlet with Hero work, training to make her attacks much less lethal than the last.<br />
<br />
She has accepted her current log in life and works towards wiping PSI off the map.<br />

! Summary of Events (Spoilers)<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
'''Phase 1''' is the setup, with the destruction of a research facility in Nevada.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 2''' is the investigation, where they find the source, the enemy, and the problem. The roleplay here will involve convincing Archon to snap out of her coma, because it is discovered that she is fully aware of her comatose status and would prefer she remain in it, or better yet, to finally die.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 3''' is when the Archon's life takes yet another spiral downward. She is found to be homeless and she once again is attempting to seek death via starvation or stabbing. Neither one is working and while she cannot die in a permanent death, she faces constant starvation-related pains. The roleplay here involves convincing to aim her hatred outward rather than inward.<br><br />
<br />
Phase '''2 and 3''' involve a lot of conversation-related roleplay, much of it attempting to raise the spirits of a depressed and frightened woman. These will lead to...<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 4''', wherein she accepts her lot in life and begins to aim her fury towards a commonplace enemy; the PSI. No direct RP needed here, she'll just be a part of some events on her own time.<br><br />
<br />
'''Phase 5''' is when she more or less becomes a kind of demigod, where her actions are deemed worthy enough by higher powers to take up the moniker of "Archon". She is then blessed with a nearly alien-like form and radiant armaments. This is more of a background phase and happens once she becomes more comfortable with herself, and when anger becomes less of a driving force.<br />

<br />
= Nemesis=<br />
By Phase 5 she is in full-hero mode with a specific emphasis on all PSI operations. Being one of their experiments, many of her enemies are straight from the upper hierarchy of the PSI organization.<br />

*Archon's story arc is replayable, for multiple people or to attempt multiple strategies.<br />
**By extension, Phases 2 and 3 '''can fail.''' Since she's already at rock bottom in two different ways, failing doesn't make anything worse. She just continues with what she is doing at the time.<br />
*Despite sharing a similar title-like moniker with [[The Matriarch]], Archon actually has nothing to do with her or the blood cult.<br />
