Talking of Andromeda is really talking about two things. The lady herself, and her family, they who are known as, variously, The House of Fortune, The Fortune Family, "Them Freaky Fortunes From Founders Falls" and "Oh god, what did you say that surname was? we're screwed." Her bizarre looks and unusual powers are pretty much hereditary in nature, as several of her relatives show strange aspects and abilities.

((The Fortune Family was in part modelled on one of the Potter-style wizarding families, most specifically the House of Black (the tendency towards elaborate names, amongst other things. Andromeda was pretty much designed as the rogue apple, the breakway one who was pretty much allowed to be the rebel to bring some much-needed evolution into a stangnant family.))

Contents

[edit] Affiliations

  • The House of Fortune: Andromeda is the youngest child of that family currently.

[edit] Personality

At once rebellious and solid, staid and liberated, Andromeda is a study in contrasts. Socially, she's known, despite her slightly unusual looks, to be friendly, and down to earth, albeit with a streak of slightly theatrical flirtatiousness. In the court room, she can be a tenacious opponent, calm, collected and utterly at ease in a disputational environment. However much she complains about her family, she still seems to very much love them, warts and all.

[edit] Motivation

Andromedas main motivation is, to hear her speak of it, one of rebellion. When speaking of her family, she always describes it as stuffy and overbearing, and with a tendency to micromanage the lives of its scions. She chose to break into law, and then heroing to get away from that.

[edit] Powers

Andromeda has many powers, most of which appear to be magical in type, although innate in application. She simply claims there's "Bad Blood" in her family. These have been seen to include:

[edit] Primary Powers

Kinetic Transfer: The skill of tapping, and redirecting subtle and not so subtle energy flows, redirecting mass, inertia, momentum, and even health and vitality. Speed and Movement are pretty much her bitches, and she uses and abuses these skills mercilessly in order to do the work of the hero.

[edit] Secondary Powers

Darkness Control: Again, perhaps from this "Bad Blood" Andromeda refers to. Where her kinetic skills deal with energy, her other skills deal with the shaping and offensive use of darkness, negative energy, and other such manifestations.

[edit] Additional Powers

She has also shown control over minor magics, and could probably be a fair to decent ritual magician if she ever put her mind to it long enough.

[edit] Travel

As previously stated, Speed and Momentum are her bitches, and a healthy control over inertia means that she can leap astonishing distances, as well as move at mind-buggering speeds over land and water.


[edit] Abilities

Andromeda is a skilled lawyer, and has a license from the Rhode Island Bar Association. She's also studied middle eastern mysticism to a fair degree, although given her families general approach to mysticism, this may have been more in the way of light bedtime reading when growing up than any special study.

[edit] Vulnerabilities

She's not actually all that strong, and certainly not all that tough. Kinetic redirection counts for a lot, but sometimes, it just isn't enough.

[edit] Equipment

Cute clothes designed mostly to offend some of her stuffier relatives

[edit] Trivia

  • Andromeda always introduces herself as "Romy," in apparent disdain for her given name, although she often claims that she got off lightly compared to some of her relatives.
  • She has often hinted that her grandfather is older than he looks.
  • She is currently known to be under some kind of geas, preventing her from sharing certain famelial information. She is working to break this.
