Mutant Amazon
Often considered the 'perfect mutant', a peerless example of what all mutants could someday become Asteria enjoys a plethora of superhuman abilities.
Strength: {6, Superhuman} Hyper-dense muscle tissue and tendons with the tensile strength of titanium give Asteria incredible strength. Bones of mutated calcium provide a frame that can carry the force. The end result of these mutations are muscles that can lift eighty five tons.
Stamina: {5, Superhuman} Her metabolic and cardiovascular systems are many times more efficient than any humans. So much so that she uses 95% of foodstuffs caloric energy content. So efficient is her body that it produces no fatigue toxins, Asteria can exert herself to the maximum as long as she has energy. In the past she has fought for twenty four hours without rest.
Durability: {5, Bulletproof} With a body constructed entire from hyper-dense mutant tissues Asteria is exceptionally hard to injure. Her mutated bones serve to increase her durability exponentially.
While she does not have the ability to regenerate she does have a low level healing factor when she meditates. After a battle she can completely reinvigorate herself by eating a small meal and meditating. This will heal her of all but the most drastic wounds and replenish her energy.
Energy Projection: {4, Skillful} A natural martial arts genius with colossal reserves of chi Asteria was among the first of Impero's students. Trained in the single most destructive element the clan teaches, the Lightning Yoso. Although there are many techniques Asteria focused almost entirely upon channeling her raw power. As such she can generate titanic bolts of lighting upon command.
Speed: {6, Supersonic} Asteria's maximum running speed is roughly mach four. In combat she exhibits exponentially superior speed due to the lighter weight of her arms retaliative to her body.
Because of her advanced mutant neurological tissues she perceives things that would be too fast for a human to notice. For example she can watch a bullet fly through the air the way a human might watch a paper airplane. Her nerve impulses are equally quick thanks to their superior mutant construction.
Combined this allows her to deflect or evade bullets, railguns, and even lightning strikes.
Agility: {5, Enhanced} Thirty centuries of training and experience combined with an enhanced mutant nervous system grant Asteria an amazing degree of agility, though it is not her primary focus.
It is this attribute that spawns her unerring precision and contributes to her incredible evasive abilities.
Melee Skill: {6, Grandmaster} A natural combat genius Asteria picks up martial arts techniques with an effortless ease. Trained by both Impero and Amaranth and with thirty centuries of combat experience under her belt she is a magnificent warrior. In her time she has mastered hundreds of martial arts, and even created over a dozen different styles in search of a combat style with the perfection to match her body and mind.
Intelligence: {5, Genius} Her mind is as perfect as her body. She has a photographic memory, can perform complex mathematical processes in her head, and process truly prodigious quantities of information. It is her natural brilliants that has made her such an exceptional warrior, allowing her to master numerous styles in a short time.
Mental Power: {5, Master} Her perfect mind applies to her willpower and psionic might as well. She has resisted telepathy, engaged in life or death struggles in the Astral Plane, contested with daemons in the dreamscape, and more all with nothing but the raw power of her perfect mind.
Queen of War
Asteria has been trained from childhood by Amaranth. With over thirty centuries of experience and her natural talent she has become a grandmaster in her own right.
KHUENATEN: Glory of the Solar Disk {Master}
Devised by Amaranth in aeons long forgotten Khuenaten is a series of secret exercises and meditation techniques to allow a mutant to tap into the power contained inside their genes. This allows them to train their body to the very peak of its potential. For example a scrawny young lad too weak for military service would be transformed into a super solider, the peak of physical ability allowed by his genes.
Master:
A master of Kuenaten has tapped into the full potential of the genome. Their bodies are not what a human is, but what a human may someday become. Capable of bench pressing eleven hundred pounds, squatting twenty five hundred, and running a full mile in a minute. It also increases the density of their bones and muscles to such a degree they exhibit superhuman resistance to injury.
+Healing:
Masters can enter a trance like state where they direct the flow of their biological resources. This allows them to heal from nearly any injury in a fairly short time.
ABSOLUTIO: Perfection {Master}
The goal of many martial arts is physiological efficiency. The proper stance, the right rotation of the body, the position of the elbow and wrist. All these things and more go into make a martial artist strike harder than another of their speed and strength. Technique, it is often called. Absolutio is this concept taken to the extreme.
By honing the kinesthetic sense to a razors edge and mastering the fundamental motions one can dramatically increase the efficiency of their bodies.
Master:
The physical efficiency of a master increases their performance by fifty percent. A master with a ton of lifting strength would have a ton and a half of striking strength. A master who could run a mile in a minute would find their speed increased to ninety miles an hour. And so forth.
As well their agility and coordination radically improves. A master can run down an electrical line, acrobatically evade a hail of gunfire, tic-tac up a skyscraper, fight on the roof of an aircraft and more. All with an effortless ease that seems, and may well be, superhuman.
A master of Absolutio is a terror in physical combat. Strikes gently caress their skin instead of landing, and their fists and feet fly with staggering power and accuracy. Capable of fighting at near full efficiency at any angle the master is just as deadly in freefall as standing on the ground. However their most impressive feat of accuracy is their ability to evade gunfire.
NA-AU: Void of Body and Mind
The mind is a mixture of many things: chemicals, electrical impulses, and psychic energies. In most minds those are, and remain, a confused jumble of emotion, logic, and sensory input. All mixed together until one is unable to tell where one ends and another begins.
Na-au is a system of organization; it teaches mastery over the mind and one's own experiences. Within the Arcani it is held to be the greatest of the styles.
Master:
A master of Na-au has become a master of noetic techniques beyond the comprehension of the ordinary person. Their minds are labyrinths of information, pathways of pure reason. A master has accessed every portion of their mind and can use them at will. Whereas a normal human might utilize ten percent of their brain at any given time the Na-au master can access one hundred percent of their mind at will. This allows them to perform incredible feats of tactical and scientific acumen as well as enjoying a completely photographic memory.
+Psychic:
A master frequently defends themselves against psychic assault by simply opening their mind to the attacker; the subsequent wave of information is often so dense that the minds of the psychic is crushed. Much as a heavy weight can crush a body unable to bear it the informational density of the masters mind is lethal to those not on their level of cognition.
A Warriors Tools
Unlike many of the supers today Asteria is not loaded down with extensive gear. Rather she uses a few simple pieces of technology to great effect.
Inert Zythium Bracers: Around her wrists are bright metal bracers made from the utterly impervious inert zythium. This inert zythium is harmonically stabilized with her form, making them a part of her body on the cosmic level, if not the biological.
No attack, no matter how powerful can penetrate them. No strike, no energy blast, nothing. They are immune to reality warping, magical alteration, molecular control, and teleportation.
Like all Inert Zythium all impacts are reflected away at twice the original strength. A characteristic display is to deflect dozens of bullets, lighting strikes, arrows or other projectiles away in a flurry of blocks. These projectiles are twice as deadly as when they arrived.
Another use, although less common is to strike a foe with the side of her arm. These blows are tremendous in power, doubling the force of her eighty five ton strength to one hundred seventy tons of force. These devastating blows are used against the most powerful and durable of foes.
Euhedral Tiara: An exceptionally simple, yet incredibly useful tool. It consists of a single euhedral zythium crystal psycho reactively tuned to her mental patterns. This has several different effects.
Firstly it acts as a barrier to telepaths as she can harden her thoughts against them on command. As her mind is as advanced as her body the mental strength she is capable of generating is simply godlike. With the Tiara to focus it the mental shielding is immensely strong although not unbreakable.
Secondly it acts as a powerful link to the Choir of Arcani. This lets her establish complex mental communication links, and even control rudimentary psychic constructs with only her thoughts. It is this ability which has often proved most pivtal, for her skills as a strategist are exceptional and in direct mental command of a large force she has preformed exemplary maneuvers with an entire thought controlled army.
