Featured Hero: Liberty Girl

|
Liberty Girl is driven by a strong sense of Right and Wrong, and a firm belief that wielding her great power demands great responsibility. She was only very recently, in her waking experience, part of a world rent by war between the forces of democracy and freedom on the one hand, and the forces of totalitarianism and Nazism on the other. She started her life as a costumed crime fighter by taking on the neo-Nazi Council, whom she still despises, but she tries to apply the doctrines she was taught in the 1940s regarding those values of democracy and freedom to the contemporary world. She abides by a maxim attributed to her former mentor, Columbia: "I do because it should be done, and while others can't, I can." Since widening her circle of heroic friends, she also enjoys taking part in the activities of the heroing community. And, since forming a relationship with Nitoichi, has redoubled her efforts to bring her own particular force to bear against the Rikti, the particular target of her lover's own, special, hatred.
What enables Liberty Girl to go about her work is her extraordinary physiology, which recovers health and stamina at a rapid, vastly superior rate to standard human physiology. She heals almost instantly from wounds, and can endure prolonged effort without tiring. Liberty Girl posesses superior strength to normal human levels, and has been trained in unarmed combat to a high degree. Her strength, focused into highly trained martial arts, can bring down almost any opponent... (More)

 Formerly The Hand of Battle Strong-minded to the point of stubbornness, Isabelle doesn't change easily from a course of action unless persuaded by someone she cares for. She's slow to socialise due to her having the condition Agoraphobia 'Fear of crowds'. This has led to her isolating herself even at parties, unable to break the initial barrier between stranger or acquaintance, and friend. She can be driven, taking up the mantle of the downtrodden and fighting to protect those too weak to do so. When she has nothing to fight for, she withdraws into a melancholy which is hard to break her from. In battle, she's a fiery-minded, almost righteous warrior with little time for cowardice or restraint. This has led to her taking on more than she can handle more than once, making it through a tough fight based on luck more than her skill at arms.
Isabelle is motivated by cause. If she sees injustice she will fight it tooth and nail with a burning passion to do what she sees as right. When nothing obvious presents itself, she used to withdraw into herself until something came along for her to fight for. Lately, she's been taking up bounties from around the Isles, the danger keeping her skilled honed and the money paying for her day-to-day needs.
For a long time during her heroic career, Isabelle carried a 'bastard sword,' a two-handed blade suitable for wielding. The blade was highly polished to a mirror finish... (More)
