Persephone Aella Alexandra (born June 19th, 1991) known as Persephone is a Greek vigalante.

Persephone is the founder, and leader of a unique group of Heroines and Anti Heroines called The Riot Pack, an unsanctioned group that works out of UNITY and UNTIL's jurisdiction. If anything the group could be seen more as a gang or "sisterhood".

Originally known as a menace to the people as the leader of Hades' army, she has since somewhat reformed her ways, but is very harsh on criminals or others who just seem to be doing something she cannot abide by. Her rogue gallery consists of people like the amazon Andrasteia, the Greek goddess Hera, the Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet, and currently her father, Ares the god of war.

Character History

Birth In The Shadows

Hercules, the hero of many Greek fables, including his very famous “labors” had started to slow down in his exploits, for he always felt somewhat bored with the challenges that always laid in front of him. But if there was anyone...anyone who was a challenge to him, in any way, shape form or aspect, it was his half brother, Ares. The two always competed, whether it was in a test of battle, or other events, they were rivals in every sense of the word. So it was odd, when one day Ares brought up a wager, very confident that he would succeed. There was an amazon warrior, by the name of Antianara, who had caught both of their eyes, but neither went after her, because they knew the other would move also. But when the wager was brought up, it was simple. Both men would try to wow the warrior, in hopes that she would fall in love with them, without telling her who they really were. Whoever won, got the girl.

The contest was on, over the affection of the muscular, feminine, but fierce woman, each hoping that it would work in their favor. The days turned to weeks, and when three months had gone by, Antianara had made her choice. She chose Hercules. As much as she respected and felt somewhat a kindred spirit about Ares, she couldn't shake the darkness about him... and the fact that Herc was a ladies man did make it a bit easier. Several months later, the two were married, and roughly a year later, the two had consummated their relationship. Young Helena was born 10 months later. Born with her mother's hair color, but her fathers eyes and some form of both of their strength, Helena was a unique child of her own sorts.

Ares was drenched in failure...or he felt that way as he was defeated in a contest for the love of a woman he saw as the perfect mate. In anger...and in retribution, he had arraigned to have several amazons who were very loyal to him to have a contest, to determine who would be suitable for his mate. A young, very devote follower of his, named Andrasteia, had gone into battle, with high hopes of impressing her lord. With an almost demonic aura about her, she used her great strength, skill and abilities to defeat, and kill every single opponent she was put up against. Ares could feel her tenacity, and her wish to be at his side at all costs. He liked that..so he took her in. Although he always felt she was like a second place prize, over time he would somewhat respect her.

Things between the man and woman worked fine, until he had caught word that Hercules had a daughter... once again bringing his hatred for what had happened to the surface. He felt in retaliation, he should have a child, one who would be far stronger than whatever Hercules could make. That, ended up with Persephone being born... nearly 2 years after Helena was born. Andrasteia was somewhat proud...and content with what they had made, as she looked so much like her and had such a strong spirit, but shortly after the girl was a toddler, Ares showed great distaste and dislike for the girl who knew no better. Andrasteia felt she had failed her lord...and she began to slowly sever ties to the child she somewhat treated decently since birth. Persephone's happy, joyous side slowly began to slowly disappear, hidden under a pained, hurt exterior. Ares could tell Persephone was different, for she was emitting such a powerful aura even for her age...he knew if anything the girl had potential to even best Zeus and Hera, but he had to darken her heart, to ensure she would not end up being as weakhearted as she felt many others were. It was then he gave her the first lesson in pain she never asked for. He beat her within an inch of her life, and branded her with unique markings, never telling her the reason why, all he would say is that, "So you know child...who you belong to."

The Hidden Beast

The two physically and verbally abused the girl, causing her to become more and more of a recluse, even amongst the kids she had gone to school with. Once at the age of 7, Persephone was being insulted and was heckled by her classmates, and despite the girl's threats of hurting them, they didn't back off. Losing control for a moment, the girl let out a devilish howl, as her clothes were torn from her form, the young girl, became somewhat of a hulking form of her normal very athletic build, as her eyes turned from their pink shade, to a bright, hellish red. The girl had destroyed two cities, before Ares and a few others intervened stopping her, and leaving her in a sleep state. He couldn’t believe what he saw and felt... he saw the power she had...he wanted her to be like this. This beast that he saw lay waste to many others...even though Persephone didn't have memory over what happened, Ares did. Her felt though...he first needed to find an outlet for that anger.

Red Meets Blue

The girl's anger manifested itself in the physical training he saw Persephone put herself through. Persephone usually watched other athletes, and warriors train their bodies, while other bodybuilders also hone their physical states. Enamored, Perse began to adapt all of their traits in her training. Minor gymnastics, power lifting, and several other practices helped her hone her body, and Ares had decided it was time. When Persephone was 12, he told her about Hercules, and Helena ...mentioning to her about how much better Helena was compared to her, and that she is nothing, since all she is a reminder of what failure can give...and what a loser can settle for. As the year dragged on...he said more hateful things, that in turn infuriated Persephone, and made her push harder...and harder, so when she had met Helena the following year... Helena held out her hand for a handshake. Persephone's fist shoot Helena's face as she sent her flying, before she beat her to near death before Antianara intervened. Persephone's raw power, her anger, and Helena's reluctance led to the result...and although Persephone saw it as a victory...Ares just scoffed.

Persephone saw Helena on a few more occasions, beating her violently and soundly...thinking every time she completed a battle, she appeased her father. Ares just scoffed, making Persephone at the time that much hungrier for his approval...for she knew once she had his, her mother would gladly jump along. Andrasteia was proud, but like Ares, constantly shunned her, insulted her, and beat her, especially after Andrasteia was given deital like endurance and near longevity due to her servitude, and not only being Ares's wife, but his personal guard to add on to her already naturally gained prodigious strength and fighting ability. But with Antianara and Helena disappearing, Persephone's drive began to wain...with her rival and her main source of practice gone, she began to take her rage out on others who didn’t deserve it...and it justly got her removed from school, when she decided not to go back because “The weaklings cant handle a real woman who can end them if she wanted.” Lost so to speak, she began to refocus her training on her strength, realizing she had been gaining it at such an insane level.

The Pact

One day returning from training, she could overhear Ares in an argument with Hades, speaking about an unfinished deal, that he would have no problem taking Ares' soul and dishonoring him if he didn't agree to finish his half. Several millenia ago, Ares had asked Hades for an army to take against an uprising of warriors who were making their move against Olympus. All Hades asked, was for several atrocities to be done, to gain him more souls, and he'd do it. They agreed...and Hades fulfilled his end of the bargain... Ares did very little, then had decided it wasn't worth his time to do so, and stopped. Hades always quietly held it against Ares, and every time the two crossed paths, he had no problem reminding Ares of it. He could tell that it ate at him no matter what he did.

They had parted company, and Persephone felt if this didn't put her in a positive light in his eyes, she didn’t know what would. She went to Hades, and without a second thought, agreed...although she would end up doing things, that she didn’t want to do. Hades knew the young woman's desperation to end her own personal suffering, by attempting to appease the man by finishing what even he couldn't start. Things that still do haunt her to this day. She had started to build a notoriety about her, known for mass destruction in her wake, and hunting down super heroes, killing innocents and others inside. Internally, it tore at her... it stopped her from sleeping well at night, and she suffered. Wanting to get less involved, she knew she had to build a network of other villains who would be willing to do some of the things she personally didn’t want to even consider. Persephone felt it eat at her soul... but she felt whatever she was doing...was for her own greater good.

Vs. Athena, and a Change of Heart

A pleasant suprise awaited her 4 months later, as she headed a heist on the Millenium City museum... as she saw the same young woman she had been praying to fight again. Both were older...stronger, one wiser, one desperate. The only changing factor, was that one brought friends, while the other chose to keep her army at home. Going into battle, Persephone started out slightly advantageous, but was forced back by the combined might of Benchpress, Lady Athena, and Titan Lass. That began a myriad of battles, that took place on several different parts of the world...in several different situations.

Persephone hated what she was doing...but she felt she was being closer to making her father proud. But another change was occurring inside her... she couldn't explain it...but she was no longer spiteful, or hateful of Helena. There was a dislike, but above all, she enjoyed battling her more often, feeling she could test herself more and more. Although she had battles against Benchpress, Persephone had somewhat of a respect for the woman... while when it came to Titan Lass, the two had a completely mutual hatred for one another. Usually if their eyes locked... this would most likely ensue. But after Bench had revealed her true identity, an encounter with both her and Helena had Persephone questioning the motives as to why she was doing what she was doing. She was trying so hard to finish something her father started... but Crush had pointed out not only did he not care...but Perse could actually get better practice and training by aiming her rage against the much larger group of villains. With extra “coercing”... Persephone decided to be a hero...but she was bound by Hades' contract, and had to finish. But it was also then Persephone felt...if she could not impress him by that way...she would earn his eternal ire by taking the title he so proudly coveted.

She had started doing heroic deeds...but then also when necessary, and was called to do so, she did her dark deeds, with somewhat of a heavy heart. It was because of this, usually when Persephone was occasionally doing runs with Crush and Titan Lass, herself and Titan Lass had come to blows. Hades had messed with Persephone's power levels, allowing her near full access to her current level when she did what he wanted, but left her in a heavily weakened state when she did what she wanted. It took a while, but she did eventually gain the power back. Feeling she fulfilled what she owed Hades, a final fight against Helena as nemesis' took place in a Volcano Lair on Monster Island. Persephone went to battle against Helena who was there with a young man who went by the moniker Smokin Mirrors. Her heart not fully into the fight, she had lost, and had freed herself of her duties. It was like a burden was lifted off her chest... but in actuality, it was the easiest part. Earning the trust of some...that was the harder part.

Personal Demons and Redemption Through Hera

Smokin, who was also known as Max, he had accepted her, and did his best to help guide her, despite her early frustrations. Crush, was also very open, since she knew a bit of the internal struggle that Persephone was dealing with...she just didn't know all of it. Helena was easily the first one to open her arms, and Persephone was very thankful for that. The one she was hoping to try to bury the hatchet the most... was Titan Lass. But both women were incredibly stubborn...so neither were really budging from a moral standpoint. Still haunted by her deeds, her grandmother Hera had utterly defeated Zeus, and had planned on returning the Greek Pantheon to power...by destroying everything else. Frustrated, Persephone focused on that, while she knew Helena was dealing with a young member of the Yaskatani Menryu clan, the group she had as her underlings during her time under Hades. It was during this she found a close friend, and older sister figure in a woman who used the alias Bash, and was a “disciple” of Crush. Persephone had a strong attraction to her, but when finding out about her stance, simply backed off, and saw her as an older sibling. Helena and Persephone had found out about a state that demi gods could attain depending on their bloodline and own personal abilities. Helena had achieved a state that was considered an “Avatar of Battle” where her outfit changed, and her and and eye color returned to their natural birth colors. Not wanting to feel so far behind, Persephone slaved, and did whatever she could to gain her avatar state also. Even though it took Persephone to take longer to gain her “Avatar of War” state, but she gained control over it slightly faster than Helena did. All was falling into place...

What remained though, was Persephone's current situation with Ann. It took a while...but after constant arguments, fights, and one severe peer mediation sitting, Persephone and Annor were able to at least...move on for some sorts. Its slightly clear that there is still some residual tension between the two, but if anything the two are far better friends than they used to be. As Hera's plans were coming faster to fruition, Persephone worked harder, and very diligently to ensure her plans were for naught...and when she defeated the woman who was supposedly the strongest woman in the pantheon...she felt proud, like she had conquered a mountain...only to have the next enemy literally make her feel worse.

Andrasteia, Beginning the Egyptian War, and Competition

Shortly after beating Hera, Ares was easily angered, and felt insulted...so much that he asked Andrasteia to kill Persephone. Deep down inside, she didn't want to, but she couldn’t show that to the man she swore allegiance to, and chose to go after her daughter, to end her life with her own bare hands. The fights between the two got very heated, although Persephone had assistance from Bash, Smokin, Crush, and on occasion Titan Lass against her mother. But before she could finish her business with her, something came up which forced the family together for a temporary alliance. Andrasteia ensured that Persephone should remember that their business wasn’t over, in fact she felt it was only just beginning.

It wasn’t clear who started the conflict, but it was clear that two pantheons were headed for war. On the actions of Isis, Helena, who Persephone had somewhat saw as an older sister figure at this point, was distraught over the illness that came upon her mother. It made the usually calm woman hostile, which if anything made Persephone worried. But she had felt if anything she had to be the rock of support that Helena was for her. It also made Persephone frustrated with their current situation, but she usually turned to others to talk about it, or used spars and fights with others to let out frustration. She mainly did so with Ann and another woman, a green skinned titanness by the name of Berzerkka. Persephone felt a kinship with the woman, so much so that she usually tries to scrap with her whenever she has the chance to, seeing it as something to gauging her own abilities. It took a lot of fights, and persuasion, but with the assistance from some friends of Helena's, after defeating Nariko, they were able to deduce where Isis was hiding from them. But before a move could be made, Isis played her master stroke, killing Antianara. It angered Ares, although he never showed it, it stung deep in Persephone to see not only the woman who was pretty accepting to her dead, but to see Helena in such a distraught state.

Helena's Crisis

The night before Helena decided to go after Isis, Persephone offered to go in her stead, and was very insistent on going. But she could see, in Helena's glowing eyes, the anger...and desperation she felt to go face the person who was responsible for her ire. Persephone knew that look...it was in her eyes for a long time. Finally deciding to back off, she only hoped her cousin would return. As far as she was concerned, it went off without a hitch...but Helena returned different. She was naturally stuck in her avatar state...she acted slightly differently, and her scent reminded Persephone of the Nephilim she had waged war with on Vibora. Shortly figuring out that it may not be Helena, she decided to investigate on her own in quiet, until she had opened up to Max about it. He agreed, and the two decided to act as if everything was normal around “Helena”. But one thing stood out in her mind...the recently reformed Nariko a.k.a Megami, had brought up the potential fact that Isis had used a doppelganger in the place of Helena, which could mean Helena was still somewhere in between this world and the next. With oncoming pressure from her mother, Persephone felt she had to bring it to a close quickly for her frustration was starting to get her upset...and her words and actions started to alienate her from the people she called friends.

On her word, she had Max and a few others, test the theory of the doppelganger, which came to light that it was true. Once the copy was defeated, and Helena's location was revealed to be in the temple, Persephone, Crush, a friend of Helena's that she met named Protector, Titan Lass, and Fraulein Panzer struck the temple. Things were left in a far greater mess than before...but Persephone found, and freed her cousin, leading to a very warm reunion. Although Helena's appearance changed, the greatest change came from inside... as she was emotionally and mentally distraught. She was quieter, she zoned out whenever they spoke...the joy Persephone felt, was overcome with the raw hatred she also had for Isis. To be honest, Isis wasn’t popular in many of their books, but then something she pushed to the back of her mind, came right back to the forefront. Andrasteia. Mother and daughter clashed on several occasions, as Persephone felt if anything... she had to divert most of her attention to the still somewhat emotionally healing Helena. Although many of the head gods were reconvening on Mount Olympus, Persephone felt maybe that was what Helena needed to get better, so then she could go after Isis with a clear head.

The Inner Devil Returns

The reconvening on Olympus was good for several reasons, for Persephone learned many things. She had learned new styles to fight from Hercules himself, she actually learned she was stronger than him in terms of physical might making her the only one outside of Hera stronger than him, and that Hera, despite being routed by her, had somewhat come to respect the woman the teen was becoming. But if there was one thing she tried her best to do, was to avoid speaking to her father, at all costs, and it worked... until there was 30 minutes left before they were to go. Helena was doing far better, and Persephone felt the trip was a success, but Ares, who had been heckling Persephone the entire trip...finally pushed that last button, that caused her to snap. The anger that Helena thought Persephone always had...wasn’t anger. It was irritation. What Persephone truly felt...was anger at this moment. Her eyes took that familiar red glow, her body, already large, became nearly immense, ripped, and had such incredible vascularity. The only problem? She wasn’t a kid...she was far more powerful than she was then.

The look on Ares face...which confused many...for he looked almost completely joyful by what stood before him. As he laughed, he called out...speaking that this was his child. That when she was like this...he could accept her as his daughter. A living breathing rendition, of the emotions and chaos from war. Despite his joy... moments later, a searing pain would be felt throughout his body, as the thing he praised turned its eyes upon him. A raw, senseless beating of Ares resonated throughout Greece...the force of her blows, were earthquakes felt throughout Europe... it took Hercules and Hera to pry her off for a moment, before she was hit by a hailstorm of Zeus's thunderbolts. If those three didn't intervene, she would have killed him where he stood...or more like where he laid. It was only enough to send her to her senses, and when she asked what had happened, and everyone just told her nothing did, that she just blacked out, she accepted it. She was worried...since she saw the fear, and the color gone from Helena's face, but she tried not to ask about it. All she knew was that they were in a massive crater that the cracks climbed down the entire mountain.

A Heavy Heart, Returning Home, and Andrasteia's Fall

The two returned to Millennium, Persephone's first issue, outside of reconnecting with friends, was to finish the business with Andrasteia. She felt after her, she could kill Sekhmet, and then she would be easily ready for Ares, not knowing she was plenty strong enough to kill the man now... although her family and the other gods knew full and well the power and potential the girl held within. She faced Andrasteia where Helena once faced Persephone, and where Persephone faced Hera months before... and at the end of it all, when she stood over the body of the woman she knew as the greatest fighter she knew, confusion hit her face. As she slipped into unconsciousness from her injuries, Andrasteia uttered, with a weak smile, “I'm sorry....Perseephone... I...” The woman Persephone came to hate for so many years... had apologized.

Currently, despite her inner turmoil, she has already started her campaign against Sekhmet, and is geared, hoping for a total victory. Andrasteia has not fully recovered, and Persephone fully intended on asking her mother why the kindness...after so many years. She may not get the answer she seeks, for she knows where her mother is...her father can easily be within earshot, but she feels if she can at least get some form of body language...maybe shell have something to build upon. Although Andrasteia hasn't fully recovered, the woman has been kept away from her, for more than one reason. Persephone knowing full and well Ares' involvement, had only angered and spurred her on.

Increasing Power and New Siblings

Persephone recently got to meet again with Andrasteia, but not on her own terms. Ares was there, and had revealed the point that he had two other children with another goddess, long before he met Andrasteia. A pair of twins, one young man named Thrax, who was incredible when it came to weaponry use. The other being a woman named Anise, who before Persephone, was the only one who could almost rival Hera in terms of power. The information simply surprised the women, unsure of how to take it, Persephone was heavily bothered by the situation. Although she was still growing in power, Persephone felt a void...what if these two siblings could help her with the current problem. But before she could even figure it out, the two figured it out for her.

She had returned home to find Helena and the house completely disheveled. The two started an assault on Persephone, and although Persephone barely got out of the assault, it clearly set her off. She had a new goal after she finished Ares. She would go to them,and then she would end them...and make them wish they killed her when they had a chance. The hunter and the hunted eventually crossed paths for the final time, the Greek avatar of destruction going to battle with the Egyptian Goddess of battle. The two seemed almost on even footing for an extended period of time, but as Persephone began to really gain strength due to the battle, Sekhmet's defenses were eventually broken down, and she was promptly defeated. The battle did not end without it's costs though. During their battle, one of the Egyptian Goddesses attacks had missed Persephone and had hit several bystanders, killing them almost instantly. Some would say that was the beginning of Persephone's second wind. That and the reminder of the pain that Helena had endured during her capture.

The Edge Of Insanity

Persephone was not sure just how much more she needed to do to continue preparing for her eventual crossing of paths with Ares. But unbeknownst to her, Ares was waiting and biding his time. With an attack somewhat close to home, he had attacked an ally of Persephone's, Jupiter Girl, before assaulting Persephone with an powerfully enchanted weapon. Heavily injured due to the enchantments effecting her healing, she had spent an extended period of time recovering in the hospital, and then in an outpatient treatment at home. All the more while, her anger slowly swallowing up what was tearing deep down within. When she had gotten a clean bill of health, Persephone had turned to Hephaestus to help her build an armor in preparations for battle against her father. Realizing the game was over, and he was finally ready for her to come at him, she wholeheartedly intends to.

Although her focus on him has started to border on obsession, she has allowed her friends to try and keep her mind off him at times, in fears of what it could incite if thoroughly pushed.

The Avatar, The God, and The Attempt at an Actual Job

Despite all of her recent preparations, she had realized there was still a wild card in this entire situation. Her father, and his willingness to more or less, push the button, setting off what she knew was within. His seemingly unstoppable Avatar of Destruction that remained within her. While her vocal and obvious disdain with Ares had recently put her in a negative position with Zeus and just adding more fuel to the fire with Hera, she had found allies with Aphrodite, Hermes, and her aunt Athena. Through several recent skirmishes, through Helena's suggestions, she took up a jobs as a bodyguard and as a bouncer. Initially not thinking too much of it, she enjoyed the chance to vent, and not really have to just wait until she got into the gym to release stress. She had met a new friend, and rival in the alien warrior queen Phaedra, through these encounters. Their first meeting, while Persephone was protecting a client, Phaedra had arrived, being paid to more or less, take him out. Not one to back down they had battled in Vibora Bay, almost to a stalemate, not choosing to go much further than that point they had reached, unless they REALLY wanted collateral damage on a much greater scale.

While Persephone thought she had scored a victory because of the woman standing down, she had not realized that during a moment she was knocked away, Phaedra had managed to leave a device under her clients car. So before Persephone could get back, she had returned to see the car in flames, and Phaedra, who had managed the overall victory was gone. Since then they have started their somewhat friendly rivalry, spurred on by their warrior backgrounds, and compatible personality traits. As Helena told her that it was probably the best thing for her, Persephone herself did not realize it until that much more later.

Personal Info.

Personality

Persephone...deep down inside, when you get to know her...is a very decent person. Young, a bit slow on rare occasion, but shes nice. Only issue, is that ontop of that, is several layers, of irritated, angry female. She has a very quick temper, and is very likely to hit first and ask questions later...she can be easily drawn in by someones fighting. She can be very stubborn, so its sometimes hard to get things through to her. Shes also attracted to peoples skill in battle, but shes pretty quiet about it. Unlike Helena, she leans a lot more toward the female variety, although its rare when she will fall for a man. Very few know the difference between her irritated, and her angry. By the gods, you don’t want her angry.

But as she's aged, she's become a bit more open around others, a bit friendlier. While she is still a bit distant, she does try to be a lot more civil as of late. But in the event she does make a very close friend, she will do all she can to ensure they are fine.

Powers

Immense Super Strength

Probably what Persephone is most known for, is her very unnatural strength. Due to being a demi-god, and ontop of that the Avatar of Destruction, Persephone's muscular strength is considered very vast, if anything limitless from feats she has accomplished. She is capable of rather impressive lifts in far greater excess of 1200 tons, as her strength can increase by her own adrenaline, anger, lust, fear, negative emotion, and acts of destruction. Due to a recent evolution in her powers, her "empathy" has extended to the point she can fuel her own power through the same means by others in the area (Everything on the list that isn't Adrenaline), or by battle due to recently inheriting her own version of Ares' war empathy. It is probably the most of her abilities she has tried to work with, and has become extremely adept at restraining herself when needed. Its with this strength that allows her to sprint at about 100 - 200 MPH in a straight line, or leap very far distances.

While she is very confident in her physical strength, it may come off as arrogant on occasion, when she honestly isn't trying to be. She's just proud. Some feats she has managed before had included taking upon Atlas' task for an extended period of time, and overpowering Hercules with minor effort in a few challenges of strength between the two.

Super Durability

Persephone's body is incredibly resistant to damage, on most levels, from being able to take energy blasts, to catching shells to the back and chest, to even falling several hundred thousand feet to the ground. While she is not nigh invulnerable, it does take quite a lot to damage her body due to the density of her muscles and bones.

Superhuman Stamina

Due to Persephone's physique, her body releases far less fatigue causing toxins, allowing her to continue to fight or operate under maximum efficiency for an extended period of time, usually needing rest if it called for it, after a few days.

Heightened Senses

Persephone's senses are higher than an average person's due to her heritage. Allowing her roughly 10 times the hearing of a normal person, her sense of smell to be closer to a dog's, and her sense of sight to be roughly 4 times a well trained human eye's capability.

Accelerated Healing

Persephone is capable of recovering from injuries at a higher rate, it all comes down to the type of injury. A broken limb may take not much time depending on the severity, while gashes could take hours, near fatal injuries (depending on the way it has been inflicted) varied amounts of time. Minor cuts take minutes, bruises take a little more. She recovers roughly at a 1/4 of the time needed for most injuries. It once again depends on the nature of it.

Experienced Hand-To-Hand Combatant

While Persephone's primary fighting style is a modified style of Pankration, she is experienced in many forms of hand to hand combat through training with the goddess Athena, her mother Andrasteia.

Battle Empathy

As mentioned under the strength category, gained from her father is something he dubbed "War Empathy", which attests to channeling the psychic energies of the field of battle to deeply increase his power from his status as the god of War. While he can do this on a global or much higher scale, Persephone's only really works within a city block. Most likely it will increase in radius with age, but at this point in time she can channel the negative energies caused by anger, stress, jealousy, hatred, destruction and other sources to increase her own fortitude if the situation called for it.

Weaknesses

Not Stealthy AT ALL

A girl her size and mass. It is almost impossible to be stealthy. I mean stealth for her bodytype is still a smidge loud. If one would wish her to go on a stealth mission...she would be better suited for AFTER the stealthy parts are done, and you needed things blown up.

Powerful Magic / Enchantments

Against stronger forms of magic, her body is not resistant at all. Since most gods are not immune to magic, the effect is compounded due to her mortal half. While she is herself immortal to most forms of death, this is one she is not so much so immune to. Injuries made through this manner are more than likely capable of killing her without proper care.

Her Emotions

Due to the Avatar within her, feeds off of her anger above all, she has to at worse, be irritated or frustrated. Anything more can allow her to lose control.

Mental Defenses

Her defenses against telepathy are somewhat solid, but it does not mean her mind is impregnable. Against telepaths who know what they're doing, they could indeed make their way through, its just very likely they will not like what they see.

Her Size

While she can move for a girl her size, thats about it. She is not the type to dodge, and will most likely take attacks as compared to smaller people. It's a glaring weakness that usually many smaller opponents have taken control and use of at times of battle.

Avatar State

At birth, Ares imbued within her an untamed engine of destruction that is simply known as "The Avatar of Destruction". As the girl aged, and reached pre-teen status, Ares had placed markings on her, telling her more or less, "These are to remind you that you belong to me." While she thought the unique markings on her were just a branding in general, they were indeed seals created not only by himself, but Zeus, Hera, and other members of the pantheon in keeping the animal inside at bay. While her mind and personality are predominantly hers, there is another half she is constantly keeping restrained, the act of restraint only getting harder when enraged. If the Avatar was to take control of her body, she does gain about an extra 4 feet in height, and increase in muscular mass and durability, her eyes would disappear in a bright glow of crimson, and her abilities are heightened to much further levels that only continue to raise as a battle goes on due to the emotions not only the Avatar feeds off of, but the raw aura of destruction that is caused by it. In this state, Persephone would appear if anything, mindless, and would not stop until she saw nothing more standing before her. Her weaknesses remain the same, but she would have a slightly higher resistance to magic due to tapping into more of her dietal energies as compared to her normal state.

Character Relationships

Lady Athena - Her blood cousin, rival, and roommate. Persephone's hatred for Helena if anything is non existent anymore... as she finds her as her older sister figure. She loves and respects her greatly, and is someone she would do anything for, even if it means going back to the darkness that she finally climbed out of to help her. If anything shes one of the few Persephone could say knows her best.

Smokin' Mirrors - Someone Persephone cares about greatly, and respects a lot. Somewhat of an older brother figure to her, Persephone usually is very open with him, and can do her best to be straight forward with him, no matter what and she feels he can be as open with her too. She originally had an attraction to him that she never pursued, but decided to back off it once she had learned that both Ann and himself were interested in one another.

Giga Gal - Someone that she had met also around the same time she did meet Max. Although Persephone has been bested in battle by this woman, and hasn't beaten her yet, if anything Persephone sees her as an inspiration to get stronger. She only hopes that one day shes able to defeat her. She sees Amber as a friend, one she could talk to if it ever called for it.

Crush Hour - A beneficial rival, and friend, Persephone has nothing but respect for the woman known as Crush Hour. She shares similar ideas and beliefs that the woman has, and if anything the two share a major similarity with both being former enemies of the state. There are some minor differences in opinion over things between the woman and Persephone, but the two easily get along, and Persephone sees her as an older sister figure.

Titan Lass - ...Persephone and Ann's relationship...is confusing at most. Originally starting as pure hatred, the two had buried the hatchet. They do really care about each other, and see the other as a friend. But then again...the two get on each others nerves so much its kind of crazy. But if anything can be said recently, the two have seemed to verbally fight less, although physical confrontations are still a must. Persephone knows full and well she can hit harder than Ann, shes just surprised with the girls freakish durability. She does hold an attraction to her, but wont say it to her face...much.

Bash - Persephone met Bash through Crush Hour. The two had become very good friends, so much that Persephone does see her as someone who she can take their complete, brutally honest opinion and cannot complain about it. As much as she cares about Bash, shes more than willing to die for her if the time ever calls for it, especially with all the help and support the woman gives her. The two have somewhat of a kinship, and although Persephone likes her on another level, since she knows Bash doesn't quite have those same feelings, shes content with the friendship they have.

Protector - Persephone sees Steve as a friend. A crazy, creepy, friend she feels kind of bad for...but she knows honestly she can't really help him. Although shes flattered by his love of her physique and abilities...but still utterly creeped out by his actions. With his currently darker personality, Persephone truly wonders if he can ever be really saved.

Fwine - A woman Persephone met in Renaissance Center. Originally drawn by the woman's appearance, Persephone has come to know Luna as a friend she can turn to if the situation calls for it. She's very impressed by the immense strength that Luna puts out and hopes for a more dragged out fight over time. Nonetheless, she sees her as a good friend.

Black Athena - Persephone honestly doesn't know if its the woman's physique, confidence, or pride that allows her to enjoy her company so much, but she loves her a lot as a friend. She hasn't known the woman for a long time, but she feels if anything she can go to her, whether it be for training or otherwise.

Skarius Snowtalon - Persephone does more or less, enjoy talking trash, and giving this man crap, for if anything, she finds him rather intriguing, and enjoys his company. While it's believed she may have a further interest in him past their friendship, she has done nothing to confirm...nor deny it. A staple of their relationship is her consistently calling him random items used for fashion made by Repltile scales, while he in return makes cracks on her breasts or other parts of her amazonian build.

Mercy Madison - Someone who more or less reminds her a lot of herself when she was still working for Hades. The young woman's anger aside, as a fellow gym rat, they've connected quite well recently after she got her to open up a little. Perse does have a deeper interest in her, but at the moment has issue getting that out. But she intends on at some point opening up a bit more.

Strix - Persephone's fond of her from the few time's they've met. Through the shared interest of Bodybuilding, she finds her a rather interesting sort, and they have had rather decent conversation. She does wish to learn more about her, but that will most likely happen through more meetings.

Anarchy - From the times Persephone has met, and talked with Vivi, she has rather enjoyed her company and her wittyness. As hard as it is for her to make a comeback in terms of retorts, and while Persephone has not fared too well against her in spars, she intends on learning a bit more about her than the hearsay she hears from others.

Anna Vereila - Anna is a person Persephone sees as a fun sort, someone she could talk to when it came down to it. She thinks she's a pretty good person, and if she needed help, Persephone would have no issue helping her with anything... within her realm of what she can do.

Azunai - Persephone has a rather decent amount of respect for Gabriel. Impressed with his strength, and a little more so with his friendly disposition, she often flirts with him. She cares for him, and if he were to ask anything of her, she would be more than willing to help.

Katerra - The woman Persephone affectionately calls "Kitty Hulk" , is someone she sees as an ally and friend. But also a rival. While shes one of the few she harbors interest in, she does do her best to ensure she can watch her back to the best of her ability.

Public Opinions

If Your Character had met her / have known of her, just throw their opinion down here.

"I am already hatin' on this girl for what she is capable of. After all the times we banged, she still be knockin' me down. But I'll get my glory soon. She's a cool girl, I aint got nothin' against her. She's real, and tells things just how its supposed to be said. At first, I hated her with a passion. I wanted to kill her. But now it's like I'm over it, she respects me as much as I do for her. I aint gonna lie, she got the body, and.. yeah I'ma stop right there." - Mercy Madison

"Size and shape of a tank, wants to make me into a pair of boots, handbag or a wallet, and punctured my suit and made me bleed. I have every damn right to be terrified of this woman. Why am I not? Because she's a damn good friend. Hell, I'll even admit I'd take her out some time if I wern't so busy. She's a decent person underneath the muscle. Oh, and second person ever to punch through the suit. I won't be forgettin' that, but I'll never hold it against her." - Snowtalon

"My darling cousin has come a way. A long way. From wanting to kill me to now wanting to kill others who mess with me... I have to work down on the whole killing people bit with her. I don't think she cares much about it...but I care enough about it for... both of us. Eitherway, she has a great capacity for good. I just wish she saw it sometimes." - Lady Athena

"She's got some grabby hands. Not many people have the kind of bravery she has to cop a feel. Strong? No doubt. Brave? Most certainly. Smart? Only time will tell..Who fondles on someone without even giving them their name? I expect many interesting ventures..And very terrible images." - Anna Vereila

"Perse, with a very few others I know, is an epitome of the strong women archetype. Proud of what she is, proud of what she can do and always ready to meet the challenge. While our personnalities may differ a lot, even if she has been on the wrong side in the past and she still struggles sometimes with her inner demons, a strong friendship has grown between us. If I know who I am today it is in great part thanks to her. I've got your back sister." - Katerra

"Ah'right, get this yo. So uh after hangin' out with 'er ah few times back n' forth, she decided tah give me tah moniker ah 'Grammy Boobs'. Fer tah fact that ah'm fifty-three n' still looked like ah'm in mah thirties with tits tah size ah two small turkeys. That ah'ide, fer someone that walks like ah demi-god, acts like ah demi-god n' sure as HELL does look like ah demi-god, she's not one ah those people that gloats or boasts 'bout those things in line with/without tah subject material. She's not wild, nor as egotistical as most would be, very respectful and has that sort ah vibe ah 'I'm secretly a monk or wise man'. N' she takes care ah 'er family, minds 'er manners n' that's what ah like 'bout her. She DOESN'T need tah jam God related mumbo jumbo down yah throat! Ah've mentioned ah similar case with mah bestfriend Mercy Madison; If ah was lookin' fer someone fer leadership roles fer tah youth in tah current n' semi older generation. Ah point tah these two. Yah have mah word on that." - Cassandra Elena

Misc. Info

RP Hooks

• Former Enemy of Society (Villain): Well. Before she more or less mellowed out, while working for Hades, a lot of people died. If not by her hand, but by undead members of Hades' army who she lead for him. Anytime its brought up...it can make things awkward. BUT FUN!
• Good Fight, Good Night: As being a warrior is in her veins, she is intrigued by fights, warriors and the like. Stories of Glory are always nice.
• Clubs n' Bars Are Us: Shes likely in some type of nightlife area at night to unwind from work. So she is often up for idle chat.
• Scrappy: As she is likely to get into a fight in an establishment for it, she does rather enjoy the company there, and its normally how she makes friends fast.
• Horrible Childhood: Her childhood wasn't too great. Normally talking about that can allow her to open up.
• Avid Bodybuilder: Despite her strength, as one can see from her appearance, she does take her body rather seriously, and does take well to compliments on her frame she's spent time honing. Normally if someone else looks rather honed or built, or normally just exhibits an athletic mindset, she'd throw something their way too! After all, gymrats gotta stick together!
• Frequenter At Carl's: She often spars with friends there, and she may have been seen here and there in conversation or on the mat.
• Millennium City University: She more or less occasionally attends class for Exercise Science, but primarily takes courses online. There can be an off chance she's been seen there.
• Celestials R' Us: Due to her bloodline, to those who can sense on that type of level, would more or less pick up on it. While she doesn't feel her bloodline should automatically cause her to get respect. She's not beyond it. She is rather aware of celestials or demons on other planes, so she has no issue with conversation there.
• Weren't You In Somebody's Security?: Persephone does for a living work as a bodyguard for some who require supernatural other forms of protection, and she does moonlight on occasion as a bouncer at a few night spots. Maybe you've seen here there!
• Witty Banter: Persephone does have a sense of humor, while she can get offended, she does have a very open mind.
