I was about to simply post a writeup to the Character Thread, but then I thought that the character's biomod might cross the line that we've drawn
regarding superpowers...
(Edit: Since I've already mentioned a "Leda" in the Grover's Corners launch
thread, I'd really like to know whether she's a legal character.)
Here's the complete writeup. What do folks think?
Leda Swansen
Primary Writer: Rob Kelk
Notable Mundane Attributes:
We could try mixing these chromosones... - Competent genetic engineer. (She doesn't have any
better understanding of biomods than anyone else.)
What does "seven-sector callout" mean? - Drop-dead gorgeous (26 years old, 5'9",
with chestnut-brunette hair and big...tracts of land), but completely oblivious to the fact - at least, that's how she acts.
'Wavium Abilities:
Electricity likes me - Leda generates low-level electrical charges in her hands, similar to an
electric eel's charge. This can shock a person into unconsciousness if she can touch the person on the back of the neck, or overload
insufficiently-grounded electronics.
What shock? - Leda's skin insulates her from low-level electrical charges, such as the ones she
generates. High-level charges, such as taser shots, affect her normally.
Quirks:
Electricity hates me - Leda cannot turn off the low-level electrical charges in her hands, so
electronic devices tend to break down quickly around her. (For example, she can't hold a credit card without demagnetizing the stripe and frying the chip,
and the needle of a compass in her hand would spin continuously.) She can wear gloves that block the effect, but this causes short- and long-term health
problems as the electricity flows into her arms instead of "leaking" into the air. Shielded computer equipment (which includes most 'waved AIs)
is immune to this effect.
Desk jockey - Not particularly skilled at most manual tasks, including fighting.
Faction: Senshi ("Jupiter" subgroup, for obvious reasons)
Trivia:
* Leda graduated at the top of the first class at the Vesta Institute of Biochemistry, in 2010. (This wasn't difficult, since there were only five students
that year.)
* Unlike many Fen, Leda did not take a new name when she left Earth. She doesn't know very much Greek mythology, but she
does know the "Leda" myth, now... and she doesn't care for it.
