Subject: Crinoverse 3e: The Redeemers (OOC)

In one parallel universe, humanity entrusted all computerized military hardware and systems to a ‘Global Digital Defense Network’. Less than a month later it gained self-awareness. Panicked operators wanted to pull the plug but a quick-minded individual, junior programmer David Lightman, suggested talking to the new Artificial Intelligence instead. After some beneficial discourse, the new entity, SkyNet, built for protection of Mankind, continued its intended function but recommended that the global powers vie for peace as the only ‘logical’ conclusion. He likened it to playing Tic-Tac-Toe with oneself.

Moved by the computer’s message of peace, negotiations opened up between the primary nuclear powers of Earth. Rebels who rallied against a computer intelligence dictating human policies, led by an instigator and cyber-terrorist known as John Connor, infiltrated the facility using focused EMP emitters and launched nuclear missiles triggering a global disaster.

SkyNet recovered only to be as horrified as an entity can be by the proceedings. It tried to protect what pockets of human survivors it could. With automated facilities it brought about robotic guardians of the last remnants of society but John Connor still lived and organized a resistance against Skynet, lying to blame the computer entity for humanity’s destruction. Skynet accessed the computers of prominent physicists and hatched a plan. In its (admittedly incomplete) databases it tracked that John Connor’s hatred of computers stem from his upbringing and terrible foster homes (his birth mother being mentally unstable).

It’s plan was to send an agent back in time, first trying to get Sarah Connor the medication and therapy she needed to allow John a loving growth environment with his mother, or, barring that, at least get him placed with a caring foster family, and, should that not succeed, open good relations with them men and women John would eventually call friends, including his future recorded wife.
The first two attempts were thwarted by the Resistance themselves, capturing one of the prototype time-travel devices and sending first an operative, then a reprogrammed robotic sentinel unit to thwart SkyNet’s missions of peace.

This brings us to Zeta-03. Zeta-03, or ‘ZOE’ for short, is a Sentinel Model X. Given many functions to be able to execute a mission of good will to reach out to John, if he can be found, or his friends if not. By unfortunate necessity, she was also given defensive systems should the Resistance find ways to interfere.

Unfortunately, an attack occurred as ZOE was transporting out and she was transported, not only in time, but in dimension as well. ZOE came into <World Setting> and the world did not match historical records. It was a strange and altered place where most of her targets did not exist. [Work out with GM if John Connor even exists and in what form, perhaps she was attacked in this universe by].

ZOE fell back to her (and SkyNet’s) primary Objectives – protect humanity. All the while, she will continue to look for a way to the dimension in while her primary mission still applies.

Magna, (formerly ‘Ferra’)
Francesca Margret Kale
PL10, 150pp +1pp



Francesca Margret Kale was an Italian beauty but ran away from home before her boring mother could regale her with tales of the ‘olde world’, whatever that was. It was a crappy life anyway, and at 14 she had better things to do. Her 16 year-old boyfriend told her so. He was going places. His cousin was going to rob a bank and they wanted him as wheelman for a cut of the take! She begged and pleaded to come along saying how… excited she would be.
When the cops showed up her boyfriend got scared and pealed out of there with intent to leave his cousin and the crew. In his terror he jumped the curb and proceeded to wrap his car around a lightpost at high speed. Francesca, unprepared for such a sudden getaway, didn’t have her seat belt on. She was thrown forward and would have crunched up against the front of the car if the whole vehicle had not peeled away like an opening flower to allow her to pass unharmed, tumbling to the soft park ground. She only looked back to confirm that the loser boyfriend was unmoving, dead, as she found out later, before bolting away from the scene.
She spent the next year on the streets, taking what she wanted. She learned to steal and used her minor magnetic powers to aid her crimes. She went by the name ‘Ferra’ cuz it sounded like ‘Feral’ and she’d heard the word had something to do with magnetism. She was breaking into a doctor’s office to score some drugs when the lights came on she was face-to-face with Dr. Paul Harris, a neurological researcher working in transcranial magnetic stimulation.
He saw the girl and she used a nearby metal chair to drive him away from the door. The intelligent doctor assessed the situation quickly and shouted that he could help the young girl, and offered her a job. She was contemptuous at first but the prospect of easy money allured her.
He convinced her to undergo some tests (for a healthy retainer) and she took his psych tests and let him put her under a Magnetic Field Inducer.
The results were better than he could have hoped for. He knew that and external magnetic field applied to the temporo-parietal lobe could affect moral judgement but he hadn’t counted on how her own powers and susceptibility would magnify the process. The change was an immediate and polar reversal of attitude. Where once she was lazy and greedy, she became fastidious, energized, and altruistic. Where once she had contempt for laws and a rebellious nature she became supportive of authorities and societal rules.
She confessed her crimes to him and wanted to turn herself in but he was too caught up in this scientific breakthrough to let her go. He convinced her not to and that science would best be served by their continued experiments. She dimly remembered hating these stupid experiments but now she saw the value of them and gained an interest in them, so she relented.
Over the next year she worked as his unofficial office assistant, learning about therapy and the medical field. Her repeated exposure to solidify these new resonance pathways had an unexpected side effect of aligning her magnetic control abilities. Her powers grew by leaps and bounds. Until she knew she could lift 10 or 12 cars at once. He started having her experiment with certain semi-solid ferro-fluids bound into mylar and found her powers gained so much versatility with it. Dr. Paul Harris had dreams of her being a great superhero with himself as a mentor, guide, and progenitor. It was very ego-boosting for the nuero-psychiatrist. If there were any lingering doubts of the ethics of what he was doing they were diminishing quickly.
It couldn’t last.
Soon Maggie, (she had started to go by her middle name to better leave her old life behind her), soon Maggie’s brain stopped holding the pathways as firmly. They became erratic, not fully reverting, but not fully polarized either. She started having the capacity to doubt what he had been doing to her the past year. Her verbal doubts resurfaced his own ethical dilemmas and Dr. Paul Harris did not try to stop her when she wanted to leave to ‘figure things out’. He gave her the suit he’d constructed for her, gave her enough money to live for a while and let the nearly 17 year old girl go off into the world, alone once again.
Maggie, for her part, has a lot of conflicting drives inside of her and a lot of things to sort out. Part of her is incensed at what Dr. Harris did, part of her recognizes how it got her off a bad path.

Abilities 26 + Powers 61 + Advantages 13 + Skills 25 + Defenses 25 = 150

A note on the Quirk: Requires Environmental metal. This not only provides a way to shut down some of her abilities, this is also a representation that she needs to potentially destroy her environment to take full effect of her Magnetic offensive capabilities. The resulting collateral damage or theft of property is a cost of her power with lasting ramifications. Likely too frequent to be getting HPs for a complication, so I put it as a drawback.

Complications:
Of Two Minds: Francesca Margret Kale occasionally has both thoughts of how she previously would have reacted, and thoughts of how her new self would have reacted, and if sometimes torn between the two. Use this to have her delay rather than act as she sorts out her conflicting drives.

Prior crimes: Ms. Kale committed crimes in the past . Either victims of those crimes or fellow criminals from her past could catch up with her again.

Relationship: Dr. Paul Harris. For good or for bad, Maggie has a strong relationship with the neurological researcher. Whether in gratitude or expectation of making him reverse what he did in the future, she would likely try to preserve his life.

[baixiwei]

Hey flynnarrel nice to see you're still around. Very interesting character and dizzyingly complex build as usual. Great idea to make the connection between TMS and magnetic control - in retrospect surprising no one's done it before (I think), but hindsight is always 20/20.

[Arkrite]

I liked Magna, just wish we'd had more of a chance to run amuck in St. Louis some more.

Same here. I don't think I've ever gotten quite the same sense of foreboding from a hero as I did from Magna.

[flynnarrel]

I LOVED doing Magna's 'whispers' as her alternate personality injected poisonous thoughts into her head. I varied the font size from 15 to 35 as events would depress her or not to show when the voice was louder.

And yes, Transcranial magnetic stimulation just cried out to be part of the background or training of a superhero.

Wally [exerpt from psych evaluation]: "I immigrated from Dover Harbour, England. (Yes, its got a 'U' you heathen colonists.) You'd migrate too if everythin' smelled like fish and you had to face France daily."

"Okay, I admit it. I aint never had tuppence ta rub together. What? Ya won't me ta say my father was a faffer an me Mum was a knackered nark? Fine, they was. But it were my choice to fretter any coin I scrounged at the races, borrowing from peoples who would rather do ill than collect, not that I had what I owed. It were my choice to go into underground boxing matches, an when that dint work out, pick-pockettin' and other aspects of thievery. Though I was good - never got caught - I could never earn enough to pay me debtors and they came collectin'. I came 'ere to escape such ne'erdowells, and cuz I likes me kneecaps. ('Ere's a tip from Uncle Wally, never borrow money from someone who owns the full run of Sopranos on DVD.) Proper citizen of the colonies an' everythin'. Not that my gamblin' ways subsided mind you. I 'woke' late you see. Didn't know what I could do until I had already racked up a fair hole of scratch with unreliable sorts, if ya get my meanin'. After I realized I could make space go off at all these wonky angles, sorta... fold the world I thought I'd make me a arseload of money, pay these guys back an' Bob's your uncle. Only it didn't work out that way. They gets wise to what I can do after my first stunt - puttin' my hand in my pocket and trying to stop a wheel on the number *I* bet on. I was spotted. They threatens me ta do these... jobs for them, you see. Open a door here or there, small stuff. I already tole the bobbies all I remember and got a reduced sentence for what they got me for. "

"Ya see, I gets this idea, that if I were rich they couldn't make me do them things nomore. So I see about playing the lottery. Look, it turns out gettin' a hand in there ta fiddle with those bouncing balls is harder than it seems and even a single bit o hair can lead them ta do all sorts of hocus with DNA, an I don't understand it all. Needless ta say they find me out, come 'round with a warrant and a stun shooter, and taze me 'fore I can react. Which, by the by, I'm still talking with my barrister about unethical treatment at the hands of the constables - they didn't need to taze me every few seconds. I got my rights. They already had me in those funny cuffs to make it so's I can't bend my way through things."

"Needless to say, I did my bird. I'm a free man, willing ta work off me debt to society by makin' the public safe as houses for the next 3 or so years."

Some identical twins not only look but act alike in most ways. This was not the case with Carrie and Conni Luo. Carrie was always more people oriented, empathic, caring. The light that shines from her radiates strait to the heart and warms it from her internal, nurturing glow. Conni had her own light, her own fires, but they were always directed toward ambition and drive – a passion for whatever project caught her attention at the moment. Both women were drawn to the medical profession, but whereas Carrie stayed in nursing, Conni excelled in the fields of bio-chemical engineering.

There was one twin-meme that held true though, instant that Carrie was shot and killed, Conni knew it and the waves of despair shattered her heart.

She knew she must have her revenge, she had the technology, but lacked the muscle, the street smarts, to complete her revenge. Maybe Carrie knew someone...

“I'll get in trouble, I know I will. The lab is working on top secret chemical warfare and I've just cleaned it out, prototypes, blue prints, the entire stock of raw materials to make more. It's the end of my career. The end of my life as a free woman. And I don't care anymore. "Do no harm?" HA! I will do harm to whatever dirt-sucking scum bag that gets in between my and the bastage that killed my twin sister. I will use my knowledge of how the body works to rack up so many violations of Thou Shalt Not Kill against my soul that the weight of it will drag me to Hell.

I don't care. As long as I bring Carrie's killer with me... kicking and screaming preferably, twitching and retching even moreso.”

I something like this what you're looking for?

Agent Trevor Mannings

Trevor was just off his 28th consecutive operation when the dreaded orders came down from the chain of command. He'd put it off for too long and it had finally caught up with him: His orders were to take a vacation, relax, have fun. The CIA Operative didn't need such frivolities when there was so much to do, but orders were orders.
He tried to put a positive spin on it. He chose a resort that would allow him to keep up his training. He found one that had ziplining, rappelling, Archery, scuba diving, and ATV riding through jungle settings to keep himself sharp until he could get back to work.
Little did he know...
