“I have no interest in ordinary humans. If there are any aliens, beings from the future, or super-humans, come see me. That is all!”
Haruhi Suzumiya
Haruhi Suzumiya is a girl in her first year of high school. Her classmates characterize her as being eccentric, beautiful, and unpredictable. She lacks a social life, detests small talk, and is viewed by her classmates as a deviant. In her introduction, she declares to be interested only in aliens, espers, time travelers, dimensional travelers (specifically sliders), and other oddities; normal humans are of no interest to her. She often refers to classmates as objects rather than people, such that until the formation of the SOS Brigade, she lacked any strong commitment or long-term interest in any single extracurricular activity. In fact, she joined every activity club in her high school only to quit them out of boredom the very same day, in spite of students pleading for her to stay due to her talents. It is because of her boredom with these clubs that she creates the SOS Brigade.
Haruhi is allegedly the cause of a significant incident approximately three years before her entry into high school. This event subsequently drew the attention of three prominent groups: the data entity aliens, a future human civilization with advanced time traveling technology, and a group of 'Espers' who spontaneously developed powers during the incident. They were drawn to Haruhi, correspondingly, by an off-the-scale data spike, inability to time travel to any date before the incident, and an inherent knowledge of the origin of their new powers. Depending on who one asks, Haruhi is herself explained as a crack in the space-time continuum, the first technological singularity to be spontaneously born in the universe or even God.
It is explained that she potentially has the ability to destroy the current world and create a new one from scratch if she becomes too bored with the current world, and has possibly done so before. The other members of the SOS Brigade know this and try to accommodate her whims if possible. Ironically, Haruhi is the only member of the SOS Brigade who is unaware of these factions and her own powers. It is unknown to the Brigade members how Haruhi might use her powers if she were suddenly to become aware of aliens, espers and time travelers, but is generally agreed to be 'bad'. Hence, the general consensus amongst the SOS Brigade is keep Haruhi ignorant of this.

Design Notes: delightfully insane, i decided to stat her on a whim, determined to set her as low as possible, before choosing PL 5 to fit her point total (before powers.)
Once I hit her powers, I first tried the Mike5000 method of actually writing the numbers out, but given her changes to the universe are literally plot devices, it got bumped up to PL-X.
abilities/Tactics Haruhi demonstrates a large array of natural talents. She is very athletic, a natural at many different kinds of sports, and her grades are described as "better than others". She has also demonstrated musical talents for both the guitar and singing (and, judging from the opening credits of the anime, the piano as well).
as explained above, Haruhi can and has re-made the universe in her image, and depending on her mood will do it againwith the more common applications of her whims being traditional powers to represent how things go her way. in fact, Haruhi's power is so great, if faced with a murder she'll unknowingly rewrite the universe to a point that rather than resurrecting the victim, events will be such that he never died to begin with.
the only obvious hint of her powers is that things ultimately go Harhi's way, either due to destroying the universe and starting from scratch, or through the diligent efforts of her SOS Brigade to meet her whims.
Easily the most personable of the man's opposition (and among the very few to actually try talking Kratos out of a fight), one gets the impression that if not for Kratos' insanity and vengeful obsession, the two might have become very good freinds in another life. But, as it stands, like so many before and after, theseus is just another obstacle to the Ghost of Sparta that must be destroyed
