The Sailor

Mizuki "It's not a matter of safety with me, Sever. I'm just being lazy and I tend not to trust toys for floating." She grinned. "And if the fish aren't spooked I can just loiter over them allll the time I want." She stretched out. "And boaters can see where I am with this bright high vis thing on. Although I got a dive buoy I can puff up and drag with me." She wanders backwards into the water and back-flops into it once the water is knee-high. "Yeahhhhh... I can get used to this."

Mizuki She hadn't gotten done inflating her vest but when the splash hit, the emergency cartridge did the work with a loud bullet-like hiss, followed by the excess valve releasing air to get things quickly to a stablized but rigid pressure. She was stunned for a moment... "On a scale of 1 to 10, I classify that... a... Chixulub." She blinked turning to Michael. "Seriously, I think the fish I was about to watch have taken cover." She scratched the back of her head once she fully came back to her senses. "Well at least floating around and relaxing is in the cards. Wanted to get some time in here before meeting up with Lawrence again."

The plan here is to move TL into a PL 10 slot out of her PL 7 slot. Also I would like to swap the current image for TLII in her current character sheet for this image.

Torpedo Lass II Power Level: 9/10 (150/150PP) Unspent Power Points: 0 Trade-Offs: TOU+1/DEF-1 In Brief: Powerful nautical brawler, ready to take on the legacy of the first Torpedo Lass who saved her life, sacrificing themselves in the process. Catchphrase: “Full Speed Ahead!” Theme: "The Winner" Nicknames: “TL” “Mizzy” “Sailor” Alternate Identity: Mizuki Iwasaki (Public) Birthplace: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Residence: Claremont Academy Base of Operations: Old Rowing Team shed, Claremont Academy Campus Occupation: Student, Adventurer, Mechanical Engineer Affiliations: Claremont Academy Family: Father: Cmdr Akira “Mud” Iwasaki, US Navy (Deceased), Mother: Dr. Akiko Wentworth-Iwasaki (Deceased), Uncle: Jake Iwasaki (Computer Programmer). Description Age: 17 (DoB: April 30th, 2007) Gender: Female (She/Her/Her’s) Ethnicity: Asian (Japanese American) Height: 5’7” Weight: 145 Eyes: Blue Hair: Dark Blue Appearance Mizuki tends to keep her blue hair short, in a pixiecut style, and wears comfortable, loose fitting clothing. Due to her not being affected by the cold she tends to dress less than others in winter which causes her to stand out more. Her costume is a custom-designed drysuit that she patterned off of Torpedo Lass’ last costume, but in different muted shades of blue with white trim. She kept Torpedo Lass I’s sailor collared design, and added pouches on a belt, and redesigned a diving vest originally designed for tactical divers into a vest to carry useful equipment. All of which are built into the suit, now. History Torpedo Lass II had much going for her, entering a STEM related track that would eventually get her into industrial design, her goal was to design equipment for people who work on the ocean to keep them safe, and for rescuers to keep them safe and sound. But while on a cruise with her family a mad scientist attacked, trying to steal a valuable piece of jewelry. In the process her parents were killed, and Mizuki was next in line if it wasn’t for the First Torpedo Lass intercepting a beam from a death-ray intended for her. Personality & Motivation Mizuki tends to be quiet and analytical, but around peers she opens up. She tends to be interested in geeky pursuits (mostly gaming and putting together models of giant robots), and her room tends to also have pictures of her favorite SCUBA vacation where she earned her certification with her folks. She tends to be protective of her friends and family, which is magnified now with her powers. As for her new life with super powers, she feels more and more she has to live up to the standards of her predecessor. While not much is availiable in public record in regards to the first Torpedo Lass, what little is there provides a thumbnail she could build on. She feels she needs to act when there is a crisis, and protect the people. Unlike the first Torpedo Lass she isn’t motivated by Patriotism, but for community and people across the world, as well as all in distress on the sea. Powers & Tactics Torpedo Lass II leverages her strength into the battle, while closing the distance to engage in melee combat as soon as possible. Although her punches somehow create a plasma sheath around her fist or foot that can hit with the same force as her punch or kick. She now no longer has to worry about any pressure as she is just as much at home anywhere from the depths of the ocean to the edge of space with zero worries. Torpedo Lass II has shown signs of taking the lead, or at least advising whoever has taken the lead, in what steps to take in a crisis. Power Descriptions Her powers tend to generate a bluish-green light phosphorescence making her abilities more visible at night or in low-light conditions. Complications The Next Generation: A need to match the legacy of her predecessor, the first Torpedo Lass, and to live up to her legacy. Duty Calls: Torpedo Lass II feels she has to use her powers for the right reasons and for the greater good whenever possible. Survivor’s Guilt: Knowing she got her powers from Torpedo Lass, and that the first TL was wiped from existence in the process has caused TLII to feel from time to time that it should have been her who got hit by the beam, not the first Torpedo Lass. Enemy: The power armored mad scientist, wanted in Russia for treason and theft, Sea Wolf (Морской волк), was the one responsible for the death of her parents and the murder of the first Torpedo Lass, and she wants to tie up a loose end. Only a matter of time before the next Torpedo Lass gets to run it back against her. The Eyes Have It: Due to her new mutation for her eyes, they glow in an ever increasing and color shifting color from a phosphorescent green to a bright blue to near white depending on how she stresses herself with her powers, and at any level it's obvious enough where anyone can see them in the dark.

Torpedo Lass II "We'll take this stone back to the school and present it to the administration... whoever is on duty can get it secured until AEGIS or whoever seems the best equipped to handle this can sort it out." She slings her makeshift bag over her shoulder. "Otherwise our part in this is done for now... Although I'm certain they're gonna be sending another hit squad sooner rather than later." "Do you have powers of your own... or are you... well... just you?" She chose her words carefully. "Claremont can help if you're powered... or well trained for that matter... but I'm not sure how much further I can help other than some advice... you're gonna have to talk to the big capes sooner or later. This extra-dimensional stuff is just going to get more... insistant... over time." "Whatever trouble you might get in won't be nearly as bad as what these hunters or this queen have in store. And you'd have better protection. I'm not saying turn yourself in, I'm saying help those who could help you."

Asked to put in Character Bank by RocketLord This one is going to be a full, extensive re-write which will replace the current Torpedo Lass II's character sheet, and have her moved to one of my PL 10 slots from her current PL 7 slot. She will be at PL 9 caps. Also would like to swap the current image for TLII in her current character sheet for this image.

Mizuki The sudden shift of spacetime shocked her, but as soon as it was over, she was clinging to the side of the raft, but seeing she was indeed plopped in the shallows of the pool. She used her hand to bring the raft to the side of the pool where she could grab it. "Okay... gonna get this stuff delivered to the trash... I... think this is where we part ways for a short time... I might hang out here for a hour or two giving this raft a once-over once I get this trash all sorted and see what I can salvage compared to what's unusable." She smiled. "That and recharge my drone's batteries." She shifted a bit, managing with her vice-like grip to keep the raft steady for Lawrence to disembark. "See ya soon."

Mizuki "I'd save the credits for a radical outfit, personally, might even come up with a costume worthy of space or home. Anything left keep aside for food. I'm sure there's regs about buying anything that might... upset Earth's technological development... not that it's jacked up already with all the super-geniuses around." She smiled, ideas already rattling in her head hearing about the clothing fabricators they had on station. "I think the Bazaar might be a cool place. Might give my costume a upgrade. Best way to learn about a space station is hitting their Zocolo..." "Erm... Promenade..." "Errrrm... seesh it is just one huge mega-mall isn't it?"

Mizuki "Eh it's just normal Snorkeling gear you can buy online anywhere... well except the swimsuit, had that custom. No one makes sailor collared swimsuits that don't look well... fanservicey." She decides to forego putting on the fins for now but adjusts her mask and snorkel on her head. "The vest's more because I'm feeling lazy and want to just float. I mean swimming's fun and all, but sometimes I just wanna lay back and watch the seabirds." She laughs a little, getting up. "Lookit me... one of the fastest swimmers in our school and I still got a floatie on. Ah well." She pulls down the vest a little and adjusts it's waist buckle. "Wager some others will be showing up?"

Mizuki Nodding she took the Bologna sandwich. "I never could quite make this like my mom did... but I do alright..." She ate quietly, but not to make things awkward, as soon after the two joked around, talked about Mizuki's love of Scottish castles, and a potential civilian job openings she might pursue to get hired in. Then while cracking open her soda. "So, I wager I can fill half this raft with the flotsam... and with room for us and our stuff, we could just teleport ourselves right back to home. Maybe right back to the beach, no?" "Or we could dial up the pool. Didn't notice many hanging around there before we left and no one hangs around in the shallow end for long. Makes sense as it's easier to go from the pool to the refuse disposal area." She pats the raft. "Keeping this. If anything if a project comes up or need a tent, this could work." She helped get the rest of the "salvage" she could, then slipped into the raft. "So... the Ham hit the spot? Might ignite the fire for a teleport?" She grinned. "I think we're ready."

Mizuki She had already grabbed a few things and started walking back to the raft when Lawrence mentioned lunch. "O... oh, certainly." She sat what she had grabbed in the decently sized raft... could seat 10 comfortably, 12 in a pinch. She sat out the insulated lunch bag that was inside, revealing the two cherry colas, and two sandwiches. One marked "Ham" the other "Bologna". "So... any dietary restriction on the sandwiches? Made sure the pig was kept well away from the Bologna. Your pick." "Had a friend among us Navy Brats, or "Navy Rats" as we called ourselves who had to stick to Kosher foods. Another with a nut allergy. Oh, and one had an issue with food textures. Just couldn't stand Egg." "Needless to say I got into the habit of whenever I have lunch with someone I always make sure a plan B is in play." She smiled. "Lookit' me, getting all neurotic." She said with a sheepish tone. She seemed nervous suddenly. Vulnerable.

Torpedo Lass II "Your highness... I think WE are his opposition." She said to King Cole III, quirking an eyebrow before turning to Teddy Knuckles. "Teddy Knuckles? Torpedo Lass... name probably doesn't ring much of a bell, my late predecessor did most of her work in World War II... but it should give you an inkling on what is going to happen. Stand down. Last warning." Her eyes flare white as she takes a fighting stance, her fists glowing. "Know that incident over in Lincoln? Bunch of abandoned buildings blown to smithereens? Yeah, that is what two of us kids managed tangling with 3 mercenaries bent on killin' someone that night. I'm one half of that duo." "Pick another fight. Won't think nothin' less of ya."

Mizuki She sat on the raft, at the threshold to the door inside, looking at the packaging which also had identifying marks of it's last inspection including the ship it was on. She sat her tablet next to her, displaying a website that tracks ships across the globe. "Alright, the good news first... This raft belongs to the Forward Standard. A small-ish cargo ship that plies through Fiji and Samoa before making a run for the port of Long Beach. It's currently in dock there but passed by here 8 days ago during a bit of a squall." "The better news? I'm sitting on some Floatsam." She saw a few other items from the ship. "I wager a heavier than normal wave caused a container to fall from position. hit the raft davit on the way down freeing the raft from it. I noticed the air tank that inflated this thing didn't use a hydrostatic tank, but a standard basic trigger. Once water got in and I wager faster than normal through a cracked outer container, it deployed. As for the container it was open and disgorged it's contents as it sank... the floaty stuff went up, the heavy stuff stayed inside and became the property of Davey Jones." "Most of the stuff isn't even salvagable now... but getting it off the beach seems smart... there doesn't seem to be much here, just a couple of soccer balls, a sealed container with nothing in it so I wager it was a empty container that was heading to a home improvement company, couple of raincoats sealed in their packages, and what looks like some waterproof and buoyant cell phone cases." She bounces on the raft a bit. "Other than the natural day-night cycle causing the raft to vent off some excess pressure this thing is holding air nicely." She flopped her backpack into the raft. "Won't be difficult getting the stuff in here. We can use the raft to get it all back to your place so we can dispose of the junk in recycling. Might be able to salvage the raincoats and the soccer balls. And the bucket with some cleaning might be of use." "The raft... She's in really fine condition. I think we got a nice little gazebo to sit in... and look!" She pointed at the inside floor which was already cushioned up. "No sitting on the beach! Just gotta open the windows on this thing and we got a comfy lunch spot." "I'll help clean up, the lunch is in a red container inside the backpack... while not 5 star michelin, it definately is something to enjoy. Couple sandwiches in a cooler setup, with a couple sodas." She got up and started looking about grabbing things. "I wonder... have you ever teleported an object with things or people inside it?"

Mizuki Once the pair made a faster pace to the clearing they saw a life raft sitting on the beach. A tented type, red in color with a black bottom. A curious sight. Mizuki approached it first, noticing the clear windows she recognized the manufacturer. "Well this stinks... didn't think I'd be in rescue mode..." she said in a frustrated tone, looking inside but not before examining around the raft. "No foot prints but ours and the critters here..." Inside she found the survival supplies a raft would have were safe and sound, most importantly unopened. Also the inside was rather dry. And no signs of being out in salty air for more than a week at most. Most importantly, no sign the raft was ever inhabited. "Good news and better news... what you want first?"

Torpedo Lass II "We'll have to secure that. Let the adults figure out what the heck is going on." She took off her poncho and wrapped the object with it. Almost reverently. "Seems whoever her boss is has a low tolerance for failure. I'll do a once-over of the area to check on if anything else has happened. Find Jenny and see if she's fully functional." She looked about the area... smashed and crashed. "Man... did I do this?" It was lost on her just how much she was doing with her hits... but then again Puma was delivering the goods too.
