Overview

Red Angel is the codename of Angie Redding. Angie is currently a minor league hero in Millennium City. She serves with UNTIL on an ad hoc basis as a combat medic for units headed into high risk scenarios but not usually supervillian confrontations. Outside of missions with UNTIL, she works for a charity called the Faraday Foundation healing sick or injured children for their work.

Angie was the somewhat willing subject of a mad scientist's experimental attempt to create a biological cybernetic copy of a Nephilim. She is not the only such experiment and has ties to a few others like herself.

Beginings

Angie was born in 1994 in Starke Fl, to Corrin and Mary Redding a few years after the family moved there from Ireland. Angie was born with a medical condition that crippled her significantly. The local physicians were never able to determine what the condition was. She grew up in the small town rarely going to school and taught at home by her mother Mary. She has two older siblings Madeline and Louis who mentored her a little as well. Her younger siblings are the twins Harold and Peter, then the baby of the family Gail.

Angie was often unable to spend a lot of time outside of her home without help and her few friends were outcasts and oddballs. Throughout most of her young life she was bitter sarcastic and profoundly anti-social to anyone outside her personal circle or family. Late in her teens she mellowed a bit as her friends grew up and moved away. In addition her younger sister took to Angie and looked up to her. Advised by her other siblings; she tried to improve to be a better example to Gail.

Powers

Angie's powers derive from the extensive replacement of her body by bio-engineered parts. The overall intention was to replicate the classic abilities attributed to angelic creatures. In Red Angel's case the primary drive was to test the limits of 'grace' and the healing abilities of such a creature. Secondarily cosmetic features such as wings and beauty actually serve other purposes. A few features are adaptations of side effects of creating the other main features the mad Doctor M was trying to copy.

Angelic Grace - Red Angel's most subtle abilities are her inhuman grace, agility and hand eye coordination. It's difficult do describe without examples but in the UNTIL and PRIMUS superhuman testing sessions she's participated in she has essentially topped out on their scales. With her thrown shards [see below] she never misses a static or slow moving target at any distance they thrown weapons can reach. Moreover she can hit even tiny spots on those targets. With her other abilities she is equally accurate. As for agility she has flawless balance and perfect coordination.

These abilities seem to derive from a complete rewiring of her nervous system and enhancements to her brain. Her neurological response time is faster than anything normally organic. The speed at witch her nervous system is capable of communication is comparable with that of speedsters like Kinetic. While her body is not super-humanly fast, her brain and body have flawless and hyper fast communication. This is part of why her abilities of grace are classified as a superpower and not an inherent attribute.

Healing Spores - Red Angel's most useful power is her internal Bio-nanite factory. While Angie herself describes these as "the biological version of those super science healing nanites" that's not quite accurate. These bio-nanites are very similar to the T type or psuedo-stem cells that most mutants who regenerate use for their own miraculous self healing abilities. Angie's spores carry a universal version of these cells into the air and throughout her own body. Testing has found that these cells are effective on almost anything that could be considered to be alive and has cells to replicate. Many magical creatures also find it effective but the how and why seems to be on a case by case basis.

The process that these healing spores work is not well understood, like most super science it's possible to describe in generally. "The spores are a form of virus who's sole purpose is to carry the regenerative cell aloft and let it attune to the host. The regenerative cells seem to attach to dead and damaged tissue and consume it for fuel and also read the DNA to replicate the missing or damaged flesh around them. Typically half of the incoming cells will clone missing flesh and the other half will replicated themselves until dead material becomes scarce. Once the area is clear of damaged flesh the process stops. It's all very curious really.. " - Doctor Silverback

Several organs in her torso that are adjacent to her lungs produce massive quantities over the cells and spores on demand. This means that her breath naturally expels small amounts of them people have described the spores smelling like freshly washed skin. When she spawns her wings the limbs themselves contain a huge number or small factories and the feathers hold spores at the ready for dispersal. In a support role she will deploy her wings and keep a spread of the healing spores around her allies. Occasionally if a person needs intense and immediate healing she can breathe on the affected area or if massive internal damage is the problem, she will perform a maneuver similar to CPS and breathe into their lungs so that the spores go into their bloodstream and to the affected area as quickly as possible. Her UNTIL squad joking refers to it as the "Red Kiss".

Red Shards- Red Angel has two organs built into her forearms that produce chitin shards at are very similar to the much more fragile feather structures of her wings. These 'Red Shards' as Angie calls them, are razor sharp objects about two inches long and three quarters of an inch wide. Usually her forearms have six to ten shards loaded; the grow back in about a minute each. They come out of her body via a on orifice in her palm. This opening is hard to when not in use as it seals with a thin layer of skin that is cut every time she produces one. Like her wings, this is a small discomfort and heals instantly. Each shard contains a small cluster of cells that will disintegrate the shard if it is outside Angie's body for more than a few minutes.

The shards are comparable to Qularr bio-knives or their organic railgun ammunition. They are as sharp as freshly broken obsidian and very hard and resist impact along their plane. As the objects are quite aerodynamic and just dense enough to carry a decent impact Red Angel uses them are thrown weapons. Combined with her superhuman agility and hand eye coordination she can hit precise spots to take advantage of gaps in armor or find other vulnerable parts easily. Additionally the shards are durable enough that she can 'bounce' them to hit from unexpected angles or hit multiple targets.

Since the Red Shards are easily lethal if used improperly Angie will often refrain from using them unless she has a clear shot at a place an enemy cat be cut but not kill them. Weapons and the hands holding them are her favorite. However she doesn't consider herself above killing it's just something she doesn't care for.

Razor Feathers- While her wings and their feathers produce the Healing Spores and provide her with flight any loose feather or one whose spores are all spent will dry out and become very hard due to a core of cells similar to the ones that dispose of the Red Shards. The feathers will also disintegrate after being dried out. However for a brief period they are smaller, more fragile but more numerous version of the shards. Angie can at will fling these shards from her wings in a cloud around her, a cone area in front of her or a shotgun like effect in a somewhat narrow cone.

The Razor Feathers have far less range and penetrating power of her shards and suffer from a higher difficulty in aiming. However Angie's inhuman coordination and agility make them deadly and viable weapons. She has been able to fire a cloud of these and separate friend from foe in targets on many occasions. She usually prefers not to do so however. When working with her UNTIL squad she will use this ability to 'suppress' enemies by simply blanketing a close area with enough flying razor sharp objects that they have to keep their heads down. The lighter and smaller feather regenerate quickly and she can use this ability almost at will.

Winged Flight- Red Angel can deploy great wings from her back at any time. The limbs grow at superhuman speed from her back, tearing their way out. Angie has reported that his is a little painful but it never seems to bother her. Apart from the abilities listed above her wings function as they do for most meta-humans who have similar wings. She is not usually fast either. Due to her superhuman strength she can carry a little bit more than her own weight in flight.

Other modifications-Red Angel's body has several other organs and structures that have been discovered through examination whose purpose is unknown. The most notable are modifications in her legs similar to the organs that produce the Red Shards and a complex set of structures that have replaced her uterus. Other smaller modifications exist that seem to enhancer her durability, strength and senses.

Skills

Medical Training - Red Angel is a trained EMT and certified Combat Medic by UNTIL, PRIMUS and the MCPD. While her powers can heal most wounds she does know how to deal without them and work with other emergency and field medical problems they can't solve.

Martial Arts - She has trained in the Modern Army Combatives (MAC) hand-to-hand combat training with Primus. She has not attended any more exotic schools of martial training and as a result lags well behind most superhuman martial artists in skill. her natural armament and superhuman power has made that limited training rather effective.

Arts - Angie has been an artist all her life. Prior to her enhancement she focused on painting. Her physical disability made her concentrate on colors and style over accuracy and form, since she was incapable of it in a way that a regular person could be. After the augmentation she has superhuman accuracy and deftness of hand in painting. She spends a lot of time painting visions from her dreams, weird distorted landscapes and terrifying visions from her nightmares. The later type of landscape she usually hides as she'd rather not answer questions about them but they provide her some therapeutic effect. Her other favorite topic of paining is the female nude. These are normally accurate to the form, and deeply sensual but are only mildly pornographic.

Croupier- One of the jobs Angie had while in Vibora Bay was as a croupier on the Bayou Queen. Her superhuman dextery made the physical part of the job very easy. She also adapted well to the social part of the job with her natural charm and enhanced looks making her popular with the customers. She still retains the skills she learned there and is also very good with card tricks.

Bartender- Aside from being a waitress, Angie also learned to tend bar on the Bayou Queen and other establishments. Once again her superhuman agility and dexterity makes bar tricks to entertain customers easy and she was well known for them at the time. However her personal drinking habits led to a few problems. While she quickly got control over herself the reputation for being a heavy drinker on the jobs was hard to shake. In her personal life she prefers simple drinks with a heavy pour and doesn't often practice bar.

Magic- Angie studied magic briefly at the suggestion of one of her friends. She found that she channeled magic best through paining but her best successes invoked the blood and torture of her past. As a result she has all but abandoned anything but the most basic spell work.

Attributes

In addition to the powers mentioned above; Angie's body was almost competently replaced by biological enhancements. Very little of her original body remains but a lot of the parts she does have were grown from material based on her own DNA. It is safe to say each part was mutated selectively to make it into something else, and then grafted into her to see what worked. Angie herself believes that she is somewhere from 80% to 90% replaced.

Superhuman Body - In every way the replacement body she now inhabits is stronger, faster, more durable and larger than her natural one.

Superhuman Senses - Red Angel's senses are at peak human efficiency and effectiveness.

Weaknesses

Alcoholism - Angie is by her own admission a "high functioning alcoholic". While her superhuman attributes offset her tendency to be inebriated quite well she isn't at peak health or efficiency when she's drinking heavily, which is most of the time in her off hours. When her life is going well it's often an easy to manage issue and she's been scared off of drinking while at work years ago. When she's having trouble or distressed she will drink excessively and typically make her life much much worse by acting rashly.

Nightmares - The traumatic time under the horrific care of Dr M has left emotional scars and suppressed memories. Most of the time these attack her at night when she tries to sleep. She;'ll often use alcholl to attempt a dreamless slumber, but it's not very effective sleep. As a result she's often tired or stressed. Like her alcoholism the better her life is going the less these things bother her but they compound each other when things are not going well.

Gear

Glory Armor - Red Angel was given a suit of armor by an old friend. The suit is a very light body hugging armor that provides good protection against small arms and other anti-personnel weaponry. It comes with communications and navigation gear.

Force Field - The armor has a set of force field generators spread around it providing stronger protection to the armor for short periods.

Fiancé

Angie is currently engaged to Joe, also known as Foot High GI. he's been a long standing citizen Millennium City and is popular around the city. The pair seem to get along well and most people comment that Angie is a good match for him. As a result she's always wearing an engagement ring with three diamonds.

Friends/Allies

Kinzi Lewis and Angie have been friends for a while and even dated briefly.

Enemies

Angie's only major enemy is Dr M but she does her level best to avoid any confrontation with her malefactor.

General Public

The general public knows little about Red Angel unless they live in West Side. West side residents might know Angie as someone who visits local clinics and hospitals to heal people a few times a week. Those who have heard of her know she's a metahuman but have probably not seen her fight crime until recently.

She has worked with the MCPD lately on some issues with the Red Banner attempting to recruit at West Side High. She was well recived by the students but as her usual methods she didn't strike out on her own but in support of a squad of MCPD officers.

Associates of UNTIL or Primus

Associates of UNTIL with almost certainly know of her and the "angel squadron", the unit she most often works alongside. As a result of her support she and they are often assigned to high risk missions against villainous organizations. She is very well liked at the 'common agent' level of the organization and while she hasn't made waves with the upper echelon she isn't considered a very useful asset outside of her preferred niche. Additional she is know to have actively resisted being reassigned to work with actual supers and flatly refused to work with Unity regularly. This is despite reportely getting along quite well with the members overall.

Associates of Primus will know that she frequently works with the organization on training exercises but almost never any other duties. That said she is spoken of well top and bottom in the organization as a reliable training assistant, primarily as a medic of course.

Millennium City Heroic Community

Outside of the work she does with UNTIL, the MCPD and Primus, Red Angel almost never does solo hero work. She has a reputation of being helpful and sociable on the job. Outside of that she is known as a affable drunk and is almost always at the club socializing when she has free time.
