Emerald Spider Power Level: 7 (105/105PP) Unspent Power Points: 0 Trade-Offs: None In Brief: You friendly neighborhood spider hero. Catchphrase: "It is the duty for those that can to protect the weak." Theme: (Optional) A theme song for the character. Alternate Identity: Peri Pyeng (Secret) Birthplace: Emerald City Residence: Bethlehem Heights Base of Operations: Emerald City Occupation: Air Conditioner Repairer Affiliations: none Family: Mi-yeong Pyeng (mother, deceased), Jin-ho Pyeng (father), Myung-sook Pyeng (Grandmother) Description: Age: 25 (DoB: 25th Februray 1991) Gender: Female Ethnicity: Korean-American Height: 5'5" Weight: 125 lbs Eyes: Brown Hair: Brown Peri has never really paid attention to her looks often appearing a little unkempt with her hair tied up to keep it out of her way, though she normally keep it short for just that reason. Never being one to follow fashion she chooses her clothes for comfort and utility, often looking like her fashion sense is about ten years out of date. The costume she wears is now is based on the hoodie design that she wore original when Emerald Spider first appeared, though now she wears a hood and goggles to hide her identity and the whole costume is a very dark green rather than the black of her original costume. In addition to the black gloves boot and belt that make up the Spdr Rig she has inlaid over the costume in a web like pattern of fine silver thread that allows greater control of the rigs abilities. History: Every time before she would fly out on deployment Peri's mother would explain to her young daughter that it was the duty for those that can to protect the weak. As it was the last time she left, but an upset young Peri wasn't having it and she shouted at her mother that she didn't care about such stupid things as other more hateful things. Everything that Peri said she can still recall in perfect details, for that flight her mother took was shot down with the lost of everyone on board. The young Peri didn't cry or show any real emotions over her mother death, instead she set herself to make her mother proud in everyway she could from this point onward. Already possessing a keen mind she threw herself in her studies paying less attention to the science fields that she loved in favor of the more practical fields of engineering. Whilst she didn't have many friends or go on many dates, she was content to follow this path and was rewarded by the top grade in both her High school studies and her courses at the local university. With such amazing grades there was a clamor of several of the top companies trying to get her to join there company. For once her future looked bright. After her normal careful consideration she went with a small research firm that was trying to develop a device that projected a field that both protected the wearer and allowed them to go almost anywhere, with even limited flight. This snappily named Spdr Rig was being designed to help emergency services reach trapped and injured people for when they couldn't rely on super heroic help. Though she didn't develop the suit herself she quickly made herself invaluable to the team making numerous improvement to the rigs operations, with several other ideas in the planning stage. Indeed the extra hour she put into developing the suit further sealed her fate that set her on the path to become the Emerald Spider. Working one late one night on the systems whilst wearing the rig she discovered that the rig was configured to emit a potentially deadly burst of energy, something that went against the very purpose of the rig in the first place. She should have left it at that and bought up to her supervisors in the morning, but instead she went digging through the companies systems and discovered that the actual purpose of the Spdr Rig was to be used as a weapon and sold to the highest bidder. Whilst she was careful she obviously wasn't careful enough as she was confronted by a group of strangely armored guards the business being a front to for an super-criminal organization. Luckily she was still wearing the suit and managed to escape from the building, without harming anyone in the process, and escaped into the night with the Spdr Rig. Unfortunately for Peri her troubles were just beginning. She awoke the next morning to find the police at her door and she discover that she was blamed for a fire at the company that not only destroyed the place but also claimed the lives of several of the guards. Her lawyer, sent by the evil organization, explained that this would all go away if she would only give them back the Spdr Rig that she had taken. She had never been the best at lying to people but she got lucky that day as she managed to convince them that the Spdr Rig had been destroyed. Though this got her off the hook they still destroyed her reputation such that she found it impossible to find any of the work that she worked so hard to achieve. Still she was a Pyeng and they didn't give up so she got herself back on her feet and got the best job she could. The real question was what to do with the Spdr Rig? The question was answer for her by circumstances and not in the way that she had expected. Whilst checking on the rigs hiding place, and considering destroying it, she spotted a mother and daughter about to be hit by a runaway bus. Without thinking, almost a first for Peri, she leapt in to action to snatch the two up from the path of the vehicle. She thought no more of it until she found that the event had been caught on camera and became she'd become a local hero almost overnight, luckily she'd had the forethought to disguise her appearance by wearing a red kerchief and pulling the hood up on her hoodie. This she realized was a chance to do good in the name of her mother and help people in the alias of who the media had dubbed the Emerald Spider. Personality & Motivation: Peri's entire life has been focus in someway to helping others people, feeling that in this way she honors the memory of her mother. Even though she know it's not her fault she's never been able to shake the guilt of the last things she said before her mother died. This has made her a very stern and serious person with little time to enjoy life, almost everything she does is calmly considered with the pro's and con's carefully laid out. When she's in patrolling as Emerald Spider things are very different she often doesn't have time to consider her actions and has to instead to react to the problems as it happens. This gives her a freedom that allows her to enjoy herself, she had even been know to make the odd quip now and again though she's really not that good at them. Powers & Tactics: Peri's relies on the Spdr rig's enhanced agility to keep constantly moving, making herself a difficult target to hit as can. She will do hit and run tactics, especially on ground base targets, hopefully keeping out of the way of potential danger. This is because even though she keeps herself in good shape, and is a fairly competent at acrobatics, she never been a solid or confident fighter. Power Descriptions: The Spacial Distortion Resonance Rig (Spdr Rig) generates a field that works on a strong and weak atomic forces to either attract or repel the operator from objects around them. The various way that this can be used is done with a series of complicated finger movements, they hadn't had chance to install a better interface. The rig itself consists of a pair of gloves and belt and boots that all work together to generate the field, this had been enhanced by the fine silver mesh she's inlaid throughout her costume, the web pattern forms was just a bonus. The Spdr Rig when active generates a shimmer in the air of a twisting of cords in the air, a visualization of multidimensional superstrings, the solidity of these cords depends on how concentrated that part of the field is currently, from almost hidden by the silver web of her costume for her force field to almost solid for her Spdr Blast. Complications: Don't run on Triple A's: Manipulating the fundamentals of the universe is a little power draining to say the least, at the most inopportune moments her Spdr Rig can sometimes run out of juice making things difficult to say the least. With Great Power: Peri is driver by the memory of her mother to always try and do the right things. She will push herself to her very limits, and sometimes beyond, to try and stop the villains. Can't fool Nana: Whilst Peri has managed to hide her identity as Emerald City everyone except one, Nana Myung-sook. Nana had seen through her disguise almost immediately and got Peri to confess to the fact. Whilst it's mostly a bonus, giving Peri someone to talk to about her problems, Nana Myung-sook can't help but try to get involved in her granddaughter business putting herself in danger. Superheroin' don't pay the bills: Whilst repairing air conditioning units gives her access to lots of handy skyscrapers it doesn't exactly provide the money necessary for the exotic materials necessary to keep the Spdr Rig running.

Merge held her brother close to her gently trying to calm him down, she had cried out long, long ago. She remembered when he was the confident older brother who Nicki had look up to and he defended her from all the darkness in the world. But now she had to look after him, the very reason she became Merge Trois in the first place. She lifted his head with her finger until he was looking him in the eyes, looking for all the world like she knew all the answers. “Don’t worry if you’re linked to the computer they I’ll be able to be there the whole way through. I can give you any advice if you need it,but you’ll do fine kiddo!”

Cathy couldn’t help but gently touch her hand to her now healed flesh, returned to its normal pale tones. She didn’t have long to react to it’s as Phae seemed to stumble with fatigue. Also most without thinking she stepped forwards and caught Phae helping her get back to her feet. “Thank you but you really didn’t need to do that, it’d have healed in time.” her voice was soft and gentle and got even softer as she added “Are you okay? I really don’t want you to hurt yourself on my account.” She gave her healer a little smile,she was more touched than annoyed at what Phae had done for her.

Nicki was the thinking of the two, whilst Merge was more of the doing type so whilst Merge was scowling at Jenny Nicki was thinking of a why to turn this to get some advantage. And by the time the big question was asked Nicki had worked out a possible answer. “We just need a moment for a brother and sister conference. If you’ll excuse us a minute!” Merge muted the mic and turned round the screen, just in case she could read lips she’d learned that you could never be too careful. “Okay you can go up and see her, but on one condition. You link up to the computer next door and I get to see and hear everything, well almost everything...” Something's a sister really didn’t want to see her brother doing.

It seems the kind of thing Dancia would be sent out to cover for the Ledger.

“I wouldn’t be so sure about never having children they are many places, like my home city, who know advanced mystical and scientific means to create children.” she left out the part about not being allowed back home, and even avoided giving Dimitir a dirty look “In fact a mutual friend of ours who never expected to, is going to have a baby very soon. Give my love when you see Talya next Dimitri, I hope for an invite to the baby shower.” She gave Dimitri something not seen for quite some time, a genuine friendly smile “I’ve just spent twenty years raising my daughters, and whilst I’ll say no to another daughter, I’m itching to get back into action. Not that that might change if grandchildren come along...”

Merge rolled her eyes and gave her “brother” such a dirty look, he was never going to make the hallowed halls of a super spy. As she gave him the stink eye she rapidly change her look to one more fitting of Nicki then Merge, removing makeup and putting on a large hat to hide her blonde hair with it colored tips. It wasn’t perfect Merge was always more glamorous than Nicki, something they both prefered, but there wasn’t time for the real deal to come into the room even if it was only a room away. “Well hello there, just wanted to see this girl my brother can’t stop talking about.” she even put on a more Nicki like accent, it was strange in that they tried to sound and act so unlike each other. “Of cause I’ll leave alone you to catch up, but I wanted to say hi first. And oh gosh I don’t think I even caught you name?” She hoped with a face she had enough to try and find out anything she could about this woman.

From the door of Dwayne’s bathroom another Merge appeared once the porter had closed the door, snatching up the note and reading it before tossing it to Dwayne with a little snort. “Well this doesn't smell suspicious at all, at least it’s probably not that tramp downstairs.” thinking a second she gave a bitter little laugh “Because no one else could possibly be in two places at once.” the sarcasm dripped from her voice As she spoke she carefully opened the champagne and poured herself a generous glass, this was not something she wanted to do without alcohol in her. “Oh well when you’re ready give you true love a call, at least I can finally see who you’ve been flirting with.”

“Not even my Great-Grandmother had ever lived on the Steppe’s, I’d never even seen them until I visited the world of man.” she knew Dimitri long enough not to challenge him on the rest of his statement, she knew there was a lot of sadness in his past “Well a lot of being a hero is as much about up here and down here.” she pointed to her head and heart “Than what powers you have, Petia is probably the great hero of all of us here.” She raised her glass before downing her drink and giving Leilani a big smile. “But now the important stuff, family! My wife and I have three lovely daughters, of which I have many pictures I can show you. I took time off to raise them and now they’ve gone out into the world.”

The day dawn over the part of the West End that the vampires called home, a part of the area under going a process of renovation amoung those that now found the area "cool" to live. Waiting for Starlight was Lucy who held two steaming cups of no brand coffee, pretty strong from the smell they wafted. "Here I figured you might like one of these, there pretty strong I'm afraid I can't really taste anything unless it this strength."she gave an apologetic little smile "I don't need it but it's a very old habits I've not managed to kick. A few standouts haven't help the habit either!"

GM post Outside unseen by most of the heroes a couple of large a white car had pulled up a short distance for the new community center. Not unusual or suspicious in itself but the occupants weren't who'd you expect to a party like this, unless you were being extremely cynical. Clad in white from the top of there hoods to shoes on there feet they were part of a new gang to have appeared recently in Freedom City, who loved nothing more than to cause trouble at events like these. For they were tha White Knights.

Dancia couldn't help but appreciate the irony of a country free for superheroes she was the only one that had to disguise her true nature. She'd even had to endure another business class flight, though luckily she managed to make it to Europe under her own power. Still she was in good spirits strolling through the busy streets enjoying the sights and sounds, including those beyond normal humans senses, the progressivw nature of Morocco meant she could dress fairly casually conpaired to some of the Muslim countries she'd visited in either official capacity. This interview could be the one that finally break her into the big time, an actual by line in the paper itself, maybe even a cover story!

“So that’s a Dweller Below? I didn’t think they normally came this close to the surface!” Klara looked up at the massive beast apparently unconcerned by its sudden appearance. For its part the creature loomed above the little group for a few seconds before it fixed its attention onto the still playing Val. You sing the poetry, but the words they are gibberish! What are you trying to say little one? Everyone heard the voice of the Dweller in there heads, the word in there own language and a female on at that. The few psychic’s in the group heard behind the word a rhythmic sing song like sound that must be the creature's actual language.

Dancia gave a genuine friendly smile to Cassandra, it was nice that she considered her a friend already. “That’s very sweet of you, but just be careful there are unfortunately some people out there who will try and use you for there own ends. Just be sure who you can trust before you give that trust away.” She paused and checked how long they’d been talking before settling down the business in hand. “So let’s start with the basic’s. Can you tell me a little about you past? Where you come from, any family stuff like that.” She suspected that it might be as simple a question for Cassandra as it would for most people.

Living up to a name... Mount Thor, Baffin Island, Canada Dancia had faced threats as massive as the Incursiona and the Terminus but she had never been as nervous as she did now. In the brief time since she’d learned of her true heritage she’d researched everything she could and everything had lead to this one place, the one place that held answers about her past. So lost in her own thought she hadn’t even noticed the weight of the massive door that that protected the building inside from the harsh environment. Inside was a place she’d only seen in pictures and few had been allowed to visit before, the Sanctum of the former Centurion. Even after several years proving herself, and a sponsor who would spoke to the truth of her claims of her origin as someone from the same Earth as Centurion himself, it had still took many hours of negotiation until she was allowed to visit the Sanctum especially as she wanted a chance to visit the place alone. Dancia had needed to work out how she felt about what she’d learned about her heritage, and that was best done if she had time to process things alone. Not that she’d had that long here before she had to leave the place behind. Even now a few worried that she wasn’t quite what she’d seemed and would turn upon humanity, as had several former potential Centurion replacements. Not that she’d ever considered herself as a replacement for such a great hero. She stopped and forced herself a few moment to admire the beautiful architecture of the Sanctum the colourful Neo Roman architecture that she remembered from her own Earth, a stark contrast to the stark white version of this architecture that was beloved on Earth-Prime. So use now to the later it was a little strange to see such a riot of colours, she wondered if Centurion had some skills or bought people in to build the Sanctum. Despite her mood she couldn’t help but give a little smile at such thoughts, it was difficult to imagine Centurion carefully designing and building this place, even if he’d probably had the advantage of super-speed. That done she’d had intended to go straight to her intended room of the Sanctum but she paused at the entrance to the Zero Zone feeling some kind of pull towards the Zone itself, it would be so easy to throw herself back into the Zone to float again for another hundred years. Though in her head she knew her original home had gone she’d still felt as if the world was still there, after all now with all her memories it was only a few years since she’d left her world in crisis. Dragging herself reluctantly away from that room she went to the room that was her reason for coming to the Sanctum in the first place, the room that was a shrine to their shared lost homeworld. She couldn’t help but float up to the dimensional pod that bought him to this Earth and gently touched it surface, this little pod not only was the only remaining artifact of the world it was also the reason she could even be here in the first place blazing the trail that she’d followed to Earth-Prime. It was all too much to deal with a room full of memories of a world lost memories still to fresh even though she knew they were over a hundred years ago. She sunk back down to earth and collapsed into a chair, she wouldn’t cry but she still felt the entire weight of the lost upon her. She couldn’t carry on with this, she didn’t have the right to carry on this legacy, she hadn’t earned it to wear this costume, not here not on this Earth. She... At first she thought she’d imagined it a gentle touch on the shoulder, but no the pressure was still there with a slight fizzle, just outside of normal hearing, but no it was still there. She looked up at the hand and into a face that she’d only seen in books and television, that of the Centurion himself. “Hello there the Sanctum’s systems detected that you have a unique signature as someone from the same world as myself. I’m sorry I can’t be here in person but you must have so many questions about myself and the world itself. So what would you like to know?” It might not be him, but it might just be enough.

Cathy had to stifle a small laugh at how clueless Phae was in everything to do with this world, she had to remind herself that she was just as ignorant of things the others knew naturally. “The Norse were a people that use to travel the oceans to conquer or settle new lands. And the Shetland’s are the islands where I come from, they’re a beautiful and stark places I can see why the Norse wanted to settle there.” she stopped for a second with an unusual pang of homesickness She took off her glasses for a second to wipe her eyes only to wince at the bruise over her eye. She tried to hide the pain as she carried on talking. “I’d like to have a chance to show some of the others my home, but I don’t think they’d quite enjoy the scenery or the weather. Even if the place is more or less treeless!”

“There’s a station out at the Wormhole at the edge of the system, it wouldn’t hurt if you arranged for their ship to have it’s tanks refilled. I don’t believe you have such facilities on planet?” Since arriving on Earth, and after getting over the excitement that she was finally back home, she’d been thinking about other business. Obviously SItara was still a Praetorian at heart, despite her dubious status right now. “I don’t know if you could help but there was an incident during the Incursion when several objects were released toward Earth. I wondered if you could get me access to the telemetry of those objects?”

Yes please it you cow, don't sweat the initiatives right now.

Right sorry I'm back on this! Cause I screw the order up a little you can have a HP Alder, and keep that roll if you want. A round of people being itchy and thing will happen.

"Never got the parades thing either, though I think my time during the war spoiled me of such things." she glanced at Dimitri but didn't say any more, she'd never been well served by the Soviet system. "I guess the idea is to have a quiet place you can go and be normal , for me it suburbia for you it might be a place like this." She waved her arm around the bar. "Because I find heroes that are full on all the time are either insufferable or burn out quickly."

Dancia had a similiar experience from Cassandra in that when she came to Freedom City she had no one, though until recently she didn’t know why or what exactly she’d lost. It was a chance to share her experience in the matter with someone else, though she wasn’t quite ready to reveal her other identity. “There’s an idea over here that family doesn’t have to be the people you related to but the people you build around you. It looks like you’ve already built some friendships here, just be careful as there are people who will try to use you and your abilities for harm.” She paused and adjusted her glasses to refocus her attention. “Sorry this is meant to be an interview, not a lecture,let’s get one with this shall we?”
