Background and Origin
Early life and tragedy
In her teens she had made a name for herself locally as one girl not to toy with. She seemed to spend a good amount of time in local gyms and training herself to the point that she was one of the top in her class and could mix it up with most of the boys, most of whom underestimated her despite her growing reputation simply due to her being a girl. One in particular, by name of Darrell Evans, was one of the few to treat her as an equal. They became fast friends always attempting to best one another and eventually as they got older grew even closer.
It was obvious to everyone else by the end of school these two would end up married before too long. Unfortunately that was not to be as fate ripped the two apart during an ill-fated tournament they both attended. The end of the tournament would have been the moment Darrell had proposed but instead Arianne vanished just before her final match. It wasn't until weeks later that anyone found out what happened, or simply what appeared to have happened. Local authorities discovered the charred remains of a female matching her height and seemingly her dental records as there was no other way to identify the body. All who knew her mourned the loss and assumed her story were well and truly ended with the truth not surfacing until nearly a decade and a half later. Sadly her family would not see her again as they along with a few of her friends including Darrell were found murdered three years after this event. A crime that to this day remains unsolved.
The Undying
The true reason we have any record at all is because they failed in part on the other survivor turned into, like Arianne, an arctic fox hybrid. Richard by name, was lost to them before they could secure him and ensure true control of his body. Richard would eventually return to put an end to all those involved, permanently. The other details shared, at obvious pain, by Arianne detailed how the worked. She described awakening chained to a sacrificial table of sorts already apparently changed at this point only to have a wicked looking dagger plunged into her heart, apparently later found to be the way they chose to seal in the unique form of immortality. Not long after she woke again finding she could no longer move, apparently after her 'death' they had sealed away her mind and stolen control of her body.
She would not go into details after this only confirming that she was indeed the villain and murderer known only as The Undying, wanted across the globe for killing without any seeming remorse while she was forced to simply watch. This went on for ten years after her 'masters' put her body through rigorous training to turn her into a killing machine that while only three years would have been easily the equivalent of five or six due to no need for rest as simply killing her would force an apparent reset refreshing the body. She also revealed that her mind was frequently assaulted by her masters simply enjoying the torment of her sealed away mind.
Second Life
She has since put a bit of work into recovering everything she lost with the stain left on her from the last ten years and all she was forced to do while her mind was sealed away. Among rebuilding she was however forced into therapy to deal with the issues that arose from those long years of torment she had to endure, slowly becoming more outgoing but still bound to snap at anyone over trivial things. Currently enjoying a new relationship and employed as a stylist, even trying her hand at the hero game dealing with local thugs under the alias of Second Life, all signs show her well on the road to recovery and putting the abilities forced upon her to good work.
Liberated
After serving with the Liberators for several months she vanished without a trace for nearly 6 months finally reappearing just recently with a gaping hole in her memory. As much as she hated the idea (even if she didn't admit it) she asked her boyfriend to look into her memories to prove to him she was not just making things up and to also learn anything she could about what had happened to her. Finding through him that she didn't just forget things and someone had quite literally torn the memory from her leaving no clue as to what happened during this time by apparently ensuring the gap occurred between when she slept almost seeming as if she had slept for months. This realization has lead her to question herself since she does not know what all could have been down to her and sh has since spoken with the Liberators head Tony and has been placed on reserve status until she can prove to herself and others she will not be a liability.
Haunted and hunting
In the end she was injured at that site, though not physically. The leader there pulled spirits through her from the spiritual, familiar spirits. Her deceased family. After that shock she left for Florida to ensure they were returned peacefully and to finally fix that tear within her. And shortly after hunt down the last man responsible for the gap in her memory. She spent a couple days talking with her family and preparing with a good bit of help to let them rest again in peace. After getting a proper farewell she became the focus of a ritual to seal the rift within her while also using it's origin to track down her last target vanishing into the spiritual realm for nearly a full day. Whatever happened within irrevocably changed her, she was human once more and aged nearly a decade with a vibrant set of markings etched into her back. She has still not revealed what exactly happened within but it is clear it changed her.
Personality and Preferences
Personality
Despite the rough patch she went through Arianne is rather outgoing and friendly in most cases. Despite her appearance she has a thick Cajun accent and has frequently confused others with her dialect. She has been known to snap at people for various reasons and could be classified as "Fiesty" most of the time. She enjoys arguments for their own sake seeing them as just another way to fight, and very rarely will she back down as she's not one to let others walk all over her. She tends to dress simply with loose fabrics most of the time as they tend to be easier to fight in. She will rarely be seen in skirts and heels and even rarer in full dresses. Her posture typically gives away the fact that she's almost always ready for a fight even while appearing relaxed. She also tends to wear various perfumes to mask the scent typical of a fox or other furred animal.
Likes
- Fighting in all its forms including simply watching a good fight.
- Workouts.
- Enjoying the company of good friends.
- Riding and working on her bike.
- Relaxing with a good drink.
- Meeting those of a planar nature.
- Running and a bit of parkour.
- Cooking, especially Cajun dishes
- Dancing occasionally.

Dislikes
- Racists and fools, seeing her or others as animals.
- 'Heroes' that make no attempt at capturing criminals alive, and worse those that brag about their 'kill counts'.
- Telepaths, especially those that abuse the power.
- People insistent on sharing their life story with her after a first meeting. She doesn't care folks.
- Pressing her for details of her life.
Powers, Skills, and Weaknesses
Powers
Self Resurrection - The magic that made Arianne what she is today had one specific goal in mind: an expendable killer. With that in mind she was changed in such a way that upon death the magic bound up within her would completely restore her body from a template of sorts while 'disposing' of her corpse removing her body from the material plane along with worn equipment and clothing. The process is not kind to her psyche as it violently tears her soul from the beyond before she can escape her mortal existence dropping her back into a new body fully equipped thanks to a faint aura that 'reads' her most recently equipped gear as this ability would have been largely useless if she were brought back stripped and vulnerable.
Enhanced Senses - The physical changes to her body made her sense of smell and hearing a good bit more sensitive which while advantageous at times can also be a detriment in some cases. Examples of this include strong smells, loud noises, and sounds beyond the normal range a human would hear ie: a dog whistle.
Spiritual Sensitivity - Due to recent events she has been left with the ability to see spirits usually invisible to the naked eye. She has only just learned of this and is unsure of whether it will be long term or not.
Skills
Experienced brawler - She has grown up with a taste for fighting and has many years of street fighting under her belt being a very skilled brawler and usually able to read most opponents from the years of experience making her dangerous even when disarmed. She is clearly a natural fighter with instincts honed to a keen edge and not one to underestimate.
Blade style training - Her former masters used her ability to resurrect to train her body in several sword styles in such a way that would have been impossible otherwise. The training was more intense than any human would be able to endure, trained without rest other than to reset her physical form meaning she required no sleep or sustenance of any kind and trained her like this for a few years. While she was not in control of her body during the training she avidly took advantage of the training given her in hopes to one day turn it upon her masters.
Assassination - As her body was used for an extensive amount of assassinations she used the opportunity to learn from them and has picked up several techniques in the usage and creation of poisons and moving swiftly through the shadows to remain undetected. Even tough she has a preference towards sparing lives she is a very skilled assassin should the need arise.
Weaknesses
Sensitivity - As mentioned above her senses are more sensitive and strong scents or loud noises have a detrimental effect on her, a few scents in particular affect her stronger than others (in most cases would have to be in close to the source).
Paranormal Magnet - Likewise as above her new connection to the spiritual may attract wandering souls including more malevolent spirits which could prove to be a problem at times.
Gear and Equipment
Weapons
Custom Shashkas - She has a pair of custom designed Caucasus shashkas, a variant of sabre with a single curved blade and lacking a guard. The blades are both crafted of questionite with a black leather covered pommel. They also possess a small serrated edge on the inside of each blade and are kept in excellent shape by their wielder.
Throwing knives - She keeps a few exceptionally balanced throwing knives upon her person when in the field and has trained extensively with them. The knives themselves seem to be well crafted though not utilizing expensive materials unlike her swords. One added feature on these knives that is not obvious when viewed is a small advanced tracking chip buried within each knives' grip. The chip is not only useful in locating lost knives but allows her to call for additional knives on demand with an advanced recall teleportation system to bring additional knives to her from a special storage unit within her home functionally giving her the appearance of having an unlimited supply.
Poisoned knives - She also possesses a pair of knives with a modular poison well that she can swap out to deliver a potent mix of varied poisons making a seemingly harmless cut from this pair very dangerous and if required quite lethal. The blades themselves are, like her shashkas, crafted of questionite to improve their effectiveness.
HF Vibroblade - Occassionally she finds a regular blade is insufficent to pierce her foes defenses and she has thus had a short blade crafted specifically for this eventuality. The core buried within the hilt of her advanced high frequency vibro blade vibrates the blade at such a high frequency to allow it to pierce most materials and even bypass the resistance of the seemingly invulnerable meta-class abilities possessed by some to give them a nasty surprise. She will often use this blade along with one of the poisoned knives to great effect against the 'brick' class meta-humans bypassing their durability.
Silenced 9mm - While not her preferred weapon she also has a custom 9mm with attached silencer in the event that she requires a ranged weapon with more stopping power than her compliment of knives.
Other Equipment
Chameleon overlay - Her dark combat gear possesses a woven nano-fiber that when in use will shift in color to match her environment to allow her to blend in nearly anywhere with relative ease. The system also effectively masks her body heat and has a number of countermeasures to fool most scanners with an additional light bending stealth function to become nearly invisible for brief periods.
IFF HUD system - A recent addition to her equipment was added in the form of an unobtrusive HUD to feed her valuable data when in the field. It is coupled with several scanners and a communications uplink to allow her to more easily identify threats and keep in constant contact with her team when not working alone.
Utility belt - She has a custom utility belt of sorts containing the power core needed for her other systems as well as holding several doses of her various poisons and various devices for intrusion and some basics like climbing claws, durable bindings and a pair of power nullification cuffs.
Poison varieties:
- Stonehold: One of the more common poisons she uses it is a blend that spikes the target's adreneline and uses the increased bloodflow to spread the toxin quickly most targets effectively paralyzed.
- Blinder: An infrequently used blend, this toxin attacks the targets senses enhanceing their sight and sound to the breaking point making each sound and bright light excruciatingly painful frequently resulting in the target passing out from the sensory overload.
- Deadman: A specific blend designed to completely deaden the nerves and render the target largely immune to pain, one she has used on herself before and is also useful in helping those who are in pain to help them relax. It can be quite dangerous to employ however as the target will not realize how much damage they have taken and could be fatal in some of these cases.
- The Truth: An advanced psychoactive drug, commonly referred to as a "truth serum".
Explosive/intrusion Devices:
- Cracker: A small device used in bypassing electronic security with an always updating collection of programs.
- Knocker: A small explosive device that works quicker than her preferred devices blasting apart most locking mechanisms to open a door.
- Picker: A small device that gradually through the use of nanobot technology fabricates a temporary key when placed upon a lock.
- Smoker: A compact version of the typical smoke grenade that surprisingly can create a denser cloud of smoke than the normal military version.
Transportation
Skyfox Interceptor - Her normal means of transportation when operating solo this agile craft sports an impressive array of weaponry and high-tech systems.
- Main engine capable of speeds up to 2 knots under optimal conditions.
- Capable of Vertical takeoff.
- Twin swivel mounted machine guns.
- Mounted air to air rocket pods.
- Single mounted plasma beam array.
- Kinetic barrier projector, useful in defending a target by granting a temporary shield to them.
- Holographic stealth system rendering the craft nearly invisible for short periods of time.
- Anti-missile flare countermeasures.
Non-combat transportation -
2002 Harley Sportster 883 Custom. Still in excellent condition with a purple gloss finish. Her preferred means of civilian transportation. Belonged to her father.
Relationships
Boyfriend
Meta Zarvos - a genetically engineered cat manimal, and a bit crazy to boot. She has been dating him for a couple months and currently lives with him though she still owns another small apartment. Typically refers to him by the nicknames Nutters, and her Kitteh.Friends
Ballanxe - A human chemist specializing in a variety of toxins and other concoctions and a hero in here own right. Easily identifiable by the green hair and single green eye, results from an experimental chemical.
Harry / AKA Dead Serious - A fun loving hero and bar tender at Club Caprice. Easily identifiable by the purple mohawk he sports with a disco life style outfit or skull mask and purple armor. Always easy to get along with and funny most of the time.
Allies
The Liberators - PRIMUS affiliated anti-superhuman organization. Arianne is currently on reserve status due to recent events.
Tony Griffin / AKA Swift - Leader of The Liberators, and fox manimal hybrid. Well known hero and easy to get along with. Recently responsible for recruiting Arianne.
Ryuko Executive Solutions - Private security firm employing meta-level operatives. Largely responsible for Arianne's freedom.
Richard Respawn - Her eventual rescuer and like her an arctic fox hybrid with the same unique power as they were both made from the same group of dark magics.

In late 2017, plagued by lawsuit troubles, the Coalition dissolved. A deal was made for PRIMUS to take the heat and clear members of civil suits so that individuals would not be affected... but the price was that the organization was to disband. The Coalition was dissolved, the facilities shut down, and the organization became defunct. The Orb of Eternity was disposed of, and the Citadel was destroyed in a controlled demolition. The Phoenix Complex itself was also similarly decommissioned and rebuilt into a new headquarters for Vlocke Aerospace Industries and Frost Futuretech. The Liberators parted ways, but remaining friends and wishing each other luck in their future endeavors. The Phoenix went up in ash... though because PRIMUS only ordered the current members to dissolve and never reform, and not outsider non-members, the Phoenix may one day rise again from the ashes when the ban on the team name "Liberators' expires in ten years.
