Sera, Sera, Sera. I'm not sure quite what possessed me to make her a tiny pointy-eared, certainly not elvish redhead, but she never fails to amuse me. I'd like to think she has the same effect on others.

She's got a decent bit of backstory and could be horribly angsty. But I hate having overly angsty characters, and she doesn't like taking about it, so we've got her as she is now. Quite what that is, I don't know.

I've no idea where her affinity with scrap metal came from or quite what she is.

I hope to find that last one out before the rest of you.

[edit] Affiliations

Serafine quite enjoys a vigilante lifestyle, but she joined up with the New Heroes Union a while back and hasn't looked back since. She doesn't think of herself as being particularly well-known outside of Salamanca, but she has a number of friends/test subjects in the city.

[edit] Personality

Serafine is a scatty, outwardly supremely self-confident somewhat-elfin sorcerer. Always preferring the brute-force solution and rarely considering the consequences, she can safely be regarded as the avatar of her archetype, and a danger to herself and others.

[edit] Motivation

She doesn't much like to talk about the past, but it's known that the reason she's now a hero links back to the mask or scarf she continually wears and the scar over her eye.

[edit] Travel

Flight. In true style, Sera's flight is achieved by sheer brute force. Probably best not to use Rocket Boots near her. She can hit a maximum speed of about 120mph before it becomes too hard to breathe, but going that fast does make a rather large moving EMP effect.

[edit] Abilities

Sera is a surprisingly/worryingly good inventor, at least in the field of scrounged equipment. She can weld together crude firearms and other more interesting devices from just about anything. She's a little over-fond of Nemesis tech, so most of her stuff has a distinctly brassy tone to it. The Red Commissar has a theory that perhaps her skills in this field might actually be a super-power. Sera's response was 'You what?'

Sera's magical output has yet to be accurately measured due to the lack of a dial that goes far enough. She only really taps into a very small amount of it though, due to the fact that a) that's enough and b) it has a tendency to screw up her DNA.

Due to her small size, she's rather agile and has slightly above human-standard reflexes. She also has super-human hearing due to her rather large ears; she can hear a higher range of frequencies, and is good at hearing quiet things. Her ears reflexively 'shut down' if something very noisy goes off near her, saving her hearing at the cost of deafness for a while.

[edit] Vulnerabilities

A distinct lack of physical mass, depth-perception and physical strength. She could probably be picked up and thrown across a room by a strong breeze.

[edit] Equipment

Either MAGI-enhanced longbow armour in an attractive purple and gold or a purple and gold suit of custom-made armour. She generally wears charm bracelets under her gloves, that crack open portals into a convenient pocket dimension. Her hat, belt pouches and possibly shoulder-pads are also connected in. Her charms also have a number of other uses, the most notable of which is a very low-level illusion.

[edit] Character History

Sera dislikes talking about her past to such a degree that she's set her her entire life up to provide herself with distractions to prevent her thinking about awkward things. It's known she acquired her distinctive scarring during the first Rikti War and, following a year in hospital, signed up as a hero.

[edit] Trivia

Despite her magical power, Sera isn't a spell-caster; all her magical power is, apparently, natural to her.

Her right eye is a glass eye

She has a ginger tabby cat called Frazzle. He's the second to hold the name and has apparently imprinted on her.

She's managed to loose the little finger of her right hand recently. (oops)

She has a morbid phobia of small lizards.

((Assuredly more to come))
