Age: 27
Gender: Female
Power: Auratic Projection- Deanna can create a red aura that can totally encompass her or move from one limb to another, and acts like armor when fullbody, granting her immunity to things that have a natural form like fire, shrapnel, bullets, and blunt attacks, although sharp objects and arcane magic(magic with no elemental affinity, such as chronomancy) still work, and the aura acts like extensions of her body when only on a limb, and can take virtually any shape, as long as it doesn't go further than fifteen feet from her and isn't too outlandish(i.e., no giant cube that takes up the entire area around her, she'll be able to make a shape that's 4x4x4 at most, dimensions adjustable as long as total cubic footage doesn't exceed 64 feet). This aura can also be imbued with fire, although it's not really effective unless she's had it on the aura for a while to heat up.
When altered by the Nemean Eye, the aura becomes blue, and while blunt objects and natural elements can injure her, sharp objects, psychic powers, and arcane magic become useless. Also, in place of the ability to create weaponry, she gains a vastly extended range on her aura, up to 50 meters, and the aura becomes more focused on utility over damage and tanking, allowing for things such as Attack on Titan grappling hooks, springs for more ground coverage, etc. She cannot use both auras at the same time, and there is a three second delay in which she cannot switch between the two.
Weaknesses: Deanna cannot maintain her aura forever, and while it can tank a lot of damage, it becomes harder to sustain with each blow. She is also always vulnerable to whatever her aura ISN'T prepped for at the time, and being hit with that weakness shatters the whole thing. Attempts to game her powers by having contradictions like a flaming sword or a shotgun shell firing flechette and slugs simultaneously will just result in everything bouncing off harmlessly though.
Appearance:
The suit was made by Deanna in her spare time, and is made of a self-repairing fabric that wicks away moisture and is fire-resistant, capable of letting Deanna comfortably stay in environs of up to three hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Not seen in the image provided is her helmet, which, along with the heat resistance, has a polarized visor to keep her face from being seen, a radio-wave chip that blocks the signal from her helmet being traced, a facial-recognition scanner to notify her of other Variants and their powers if they've been mentioned by the news or been notified of in her underground network, and a minimap of the general area along with motion detection that shows up on the minimap which activates when she stands still so as to let the radar calibrate.
Personality and alignment: Driven and opportunistic, Deanna is Chaotic Neutral, vengeful against only the unjust to her. Creative, insightful, and focused, she can easily find a counter to most other Variants and then use it to her advantage. If the government knew who she was, she'd easily be ranked in the top 10 most dangerous Variants in the country. Well, dangerous if provoked.[/url].
Occupation: Owner and top editor of the Last Word Gazette, a newspaper company ranked among the top 10 in the world.
History: When Deanna was a young girl, she had taken an interest in science. This led to her becoming tutored by her high-school professor for four years. This led to her rejecting his advances on the last day of school. This led to him pushing her into a table holding several types of chemicals. This led to her latent mutations awakening. This led to him being held outside the window of the school by the foot until he promised to never speak with her or have anything to do with her ever again. After she graduated, she figured the safest place to hide her identity was where she could control what was said by essentially any newspaper in the city. So, with a few strings pulled by her family, who had friends in low AND high places, she became the head of the Last Word, the largest news company in the city, editing articles by day, giving the journalists something to write about at night with the criminal underground. A good time ago, she stole a one-of-a-kind gem called the Nemean Eye, which had been tested for how it could reverse the properties of anything that passed through it(light, magic, her aura, etc.), turning it into its situational opposite, making a fire spell ice, a healing spell necrotic, any light that would pass though darkens the area, the list goes on. Currently embedded in the left hand of her costume.
Crush: Gems, she has a fondness for rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and has dropped entire criminal plans after getting a few diamonds of ample size. Hey, isn't the point of crime to get what you want?
