Yvejskrujanharbh'aar
 
Where do you live?
 
Ashton, suburgatory is truly a frightening thing.
 
How old are you? What year were you born (if applicable)? 
 
Forty Five solar cycles.  The year is a bit of a hefty question.  I don't think the calendar system I used matches up with yours.  And can't say for sure if there was a time dilation between the Cosmic Coil and here.

Female
 
How would you describe your heritage?
 
I was once a Lor, but am now a monster.

5’2â€
 
What is your body type?
 
Muscular, scared.  Very, very scarred.
 
Do you have any particular weaknesses, such as allergies or physical disabilities?
 
My therapist claims I have PTSD.  It's a quaint diagnosis.  I've just seen the worst things imaginable.  I prefer enlightened.
 
How do you carry yourself? Are you graceful, or heavy on your feet? Can you be stealthy, do you walk with confidence? 
 

Graceful?  Ha.  I walk with confidence.
 
Describe your skin, eye, and hair color. 
 
Brown skin. Dark brown eyes.  And darker brown hair.

I prefer it cut short.  Sometimes a more motherly look.
 
Do you consider yourself attractive? Do others?
 
No.
 
Do you have any scars, tattoos, piercings, or birthmarks?
 
If you can find an inch of my flesh that is soft to the touch you've won an award.  And that's after reconstructive surgery.
 
Do you resemble anyone famous?
 
No
 
Do you have a dominant hand?
 
Right
 
What kind of clothing do you wear?
 
I wear conservative clothing.  The less skin shown the better.  You won't catch me dead in heels either.

On special occasions
 
What is your vocal range? Is your voice distinctive in some way?
 
I aim or an authoritative tone.
 
Do you have any distinctive habits, nervous tics, or mannerisms? Where did they come from, and what causes them? Do other people notice and remark on these habits? Do they annoy you or other people? 
 
I can make a macabre joke or two while on the job.  Apparently not everyone appreciates being told we might be flayed alive and hung like cattle by the latest madman of the week.
 
History
 
Where do you come from?
 
Lor-Zul.  A dead planet from another dimension.  In which the Lor had expanded far beyond the reaches of these stars.
 
Have you made any major moves, or do you live in your hometown?
 
Yes, I moved to Freedom City recently.
 
Do you feel loyal to your country of citizenship? Do you consider yourself patriotic? How do you feel about the government of your country?
 
I work for my government.  I don't know about patriotism.  But they have my loyalty, they saved me from what I was.  They saved the woman behind the monster.
 
How do you feel about the place you come from? 
 
It's odd.  The memories are faint.  But my emotional connection still resides.  I have a detached somberness about it.
 
Where is your home town? What was/is it like?
 
I was raised in the capital.  Comparatively it was a technological marvel to here.  But, there was also a distinct lack of excitement.  Everyone went through the motions.  Dreamers were a rare few.
 
Growing up, were most of the people you knew similar to you, or were you somehow a minority? How did that affect you? 

Indeed.  I was just another ace in the crowd.  Maybe a little more motivated.  Had my higher education fully complete at fifteen solar cycles.  And then things took a turn.
 
Is there something you've always been really good at or really bad at? How has that affected your life? 
 
Surviving.  I'm still alive.
 
Were there any traumatic experiences in your early years (death of a family member, abandonment, orphaned at an early age)?
 
No.  My life was sunshines and rainbows.  Satisfied?  Can we drop the past questions now
 
Briefly describe a defining moment in your childhood and how it influenced your life.
 
Life was peaceful, harmonious even. But then everything changed when the Termminus attacked.
 
What stupid things did you do when you were younger?
 
I participated in speedster races.  Never quite learned to pilot them properly.
 
Where did you go to school? How much school did you have, and did you enjoy it?
 
Lor-Zul military academy.  As soon as my brain had developed enough for psionic instruction I participated.  It was neither enjoyable nor unenjoyable.  It was merely about efficiency.
 
Do you have any mementos of your childhood? What are they, and why did you keep them? If you have none, why not?
 
None, they were destroyed with the rest of my planet
 
When did you decide to become a hero? Why? Did anyone influence you one way or another in the decision?
 

AEGIS hired me to be a field test dummy.  And then I realized I could do some legitimate good.  Not to sound defeatist, but very little we do changes the looming fact that one day this world will eventually fall.  So might as well make it the best planet I can while I can.  And go down swinging while at it.  I  owe it to all the lives I've taken to make something out of my life.
 
Is the reason you give people for becoming a hero different than your real reason? If so, why?
 
I tell them it's just part of the job.
 
Do you have any deep, dark secrets in the past that may come back to haunt you?
 
I wouldn't be surprised.
 
Do you represent yourself as being different from who you really are? Why?
 
I don't know.  I am not quite sure who I am sometimes.

 

If you do have these secrets, what do you fear would happen if the truth became known? How far would you go to protect those secrets? 
 
I wouldn’t go far at all.  My sins, my burdens, all of it.  The truth coming out would just be another addition.
 
Do you have any sort of criminal record? If so, is it public knowledge?
 
Does mass murderer  and dimensional invader count?
 
Family
 
 
What are your biological parents' names? 

Would you believe that I honestly don't remember anymore?  My mother smelled similar to Earth's lilacs.  Father like oil.  Smells I hold on to.  But their names were long lost to me.

 
Were you raised by them? If not, please explain and describe who raised you.
 
Yes
 
What was their standing in the community? What did/do they do for a living?
 
Mother was politician.  Father, I believe he worked with spaceships.
 
Where are your parents now?
 
Long dead
 
Did your family stay in one area or move around a lot?
 
They stayed in Lor-Zul
 
How did you get along with their parents? How do you get along with them now (if applicable).
 
I want to believe we got along well.  It's hard to remember.  But, I would like to think there was love or at least some amicable relationship.
 
How do your parents view you now, or how would they? 
 
They would be distraught of what I became.
 
Do you have any siblings? If so how many and what are their names? Describe your relationship with them.
 
No
 
Do you love or hate one member of the family in particular?
 
No
 
Is any member of the family special to you in any way (perhaps, as a confidant, mentor, or arch-rival)?
 
No
 
Are there any black (or white) sheep in the family (including you)? If so, please explain.
 
No
 
Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? If so, please explain, including how it has affected your life.
 
No
 
Do you have a partner and children currently? If so, please describe them.
 
Yes.  Carlos my husband is a real sweetheart.  Too sweet for his own good really.  I don't think he could take a life if his depended on it.  I love that about him.  Luz our eldest is a spitfire.  She's rebellious, contentious, headstrong, and has a mean left hook that I taught her.  Anna is the snarky one, a bit self deprecating.  So she's a girl after my own heart.  Can turn into a monster if properly agitated.  Like I said a girl after my own heart.  And Sophia the youngest one is a wide eye idealist.  She has superhuman levels of dexterity.  Could shoot the nuts off a squirrel from three miles away with one eye closed...if the recoil wasn't too much and she wasn't such a sweet girl.
 
If you do not have a partner or children, do you want them someday? How firm are you in your opinion on this, and what might change your mind?
 
 
What type of person would be your ideal mate?
 
Carlos.
 
Relationships
 
Do you have any close friends? If so, please describe them, and how you came to be close to them.
 
I have some coworkers that I get along with.  But, I don't have any have a drink and chat friends.
 
Do you have a best friend? If so, how did they become your best friend? How close are you to your best friend?
 
No.
 
 
If you were to go missing, who would worry about you?
 
My family, Doctor Volk, some of my fellow agents
 
Have you lost any loves? If so, how did it happen, and what did you do?
 
You could say I've lost a some.  I survived.
 
Do you have any bitter enemies? If so, please describe them and their history with you.
 
I assume there are proles who hold every Omegadrone who conquered the world's of their ancestor's with some level of ire.
 
What is the worst thing someone has done to you?
 
Murdered everyone I know and love, Destroyed my planet, forced me to kill to survive, untolds amount of torture and body modification, brainwashed me, experimented on me further, those are all fine.  But then they turned it around and made me responsible for such acts being committed on others.
 
Where do your loyalties lie? In what order?
 
My Family, AEGIS, and then the wine place on 4th street.
 
Who or what do you trust the most? Why?
 
Doctor Volk, I believe shes willing to kill me if necessary.
 
Who or what do you despise? Why?
 
Omega and  Physician Friendly.  If at this point you have to ask why, you haven't been paying attention

What qualities do you admire most in other people? Are these qualities you possess?
 
Those who don't spend too much time brooding over what can't be helped.  We only get one life.  Might as well make use of it.  I would like to think so.
 
What qualities do you hate most in other people? Do you have any of those qualities?
 
Those that show no value to life.  Slavers, serial killers, etc.  Maybe, on some level I do.  And that's why I hate them so.
 
Do you have a secret identity? If so, who knows it? Do you hide it from people who are close to you? Why? 
 
Yes, as Yves Zermeño.  My husband, and some members of AEGIS know.  Fewer still know about my history as an Omegadrone.  Omegadrones should not be thought of as friends or loved ones.
 
Do you work well on teams and in groups? Are you a leader or a follower?
 
I prefer to follow in a team.  Unless the plan bores me.
 
Are you on a super team? If so, how do you get along with your comrades? Do you trust them, or do you have secrets from them?
 
No
 
Are you a member of any church, fraternal organization, club, committee, political party, or other group? How much time do you spend on that?

I don't have any.
 
Did you ever become disillusioned with former heroes or idols? If so, why and what were the circumstances?
 
No.

How do you feel about money and material wealth? Do you desire it or disdain it? Are you miserly with what you have, or do you like to share? Is it a mark of success, or a means to an end?
 
It's a means to an end.  The planet doesn't even have a universal currency.  How inefficient is that?
 
How do you generally treat others?
 
I shall quote the words from my superior officer.  Smile, be polite, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

Could you kill? Have you killed?

What circumstances led to you forming that conviction, or taking that action?
 
A fresh shot at life.
 
Are there circumstances under which you believe it is permissible to kill? What are they?
 
In the thick of it.  Sometimes you have no other options.  Some beings in this universe are too dangerous to be left alive.
 
How would you react to watching someone kill another person? Would your reaction be different if the killer was a friend or an enemy of yours? 
 
I have seen strangers die.  I will continue to see strangers die when I sleep.  My loved ones would be a different story.  But for the average situation, it would not mentally debilitate me or the like.
 
How would you react if something important was stolen from you?
 
I would recover the object and break some limbs while I was at it.

 
How would you react to public humiliation?
 

So what?
 
How would you react if a good friend or relative were purposely or accidentally killed? Has it happened to you?
 
Take a drink., stare angrily in a mirror, and hunt the murderer down.  When I caught them there are few guarantees.  FFor now, I believe I would turn them over to AEGIS

 
What do you consider to be the worst crime someone could commit and why?
 
Human/Extraterrestrial Trafficking.  It dehumanizes the victim for lack of a better word

Spend it with my family.

 
Career & Training

I am getting field trained by AEGIS.  It hasn't fully taken.  I was trained beforehand in the mixed murder arts on Nihilor.
 
Who taught you the most about your heroing abilities? What was your relationship with that person?
 
Ironically enough there was a fellow drone.  Back when we were still proles.  He was a mentor of sorts.  And the last person I killed before the Indoctrination began.

I would like to socialize better.
 
How do you act around people who are more skilled than you in areas you'd like to improve? Are you jealous, or do you try and learn?
 
I am a bit jealous.  But not so much to do more than just send the occasionally veiled barbed comment their way.
 
Lifestyle & Hobbies
 
What is a normal day for you? How do you feel when something interrupts this routine?
 
Morning, Afternoon, and Night are all dedicated to the three kids.  Be it cooking, cleaning, or just being an extra ear for them.  Our house is run like a well oiled machine.  Which is good as nowadays I get called away more often than not.

Do you have any hobbies, or interests outside hero work? What are they, and where did you pick them up?

Bars, watching soap operas, mixed martial arts viewing, playing darts.

What would you like to be remembered for after your death?
 
I wouldn't like to be remembered.  I should be a footnote.

 
Do you believe you pose a threat to the public? Why or why not?
 

Possibly.  I cannot fully trust the AI on my suit.

My will to survive

As a player, if you could, what advice would you give your character? Speak as if he/she were sitting right here in front of you. Use proper tone so they might heed your advice...
 
An emotional wall, sturdy though it may be, won't do you much good if it keeps taking a beating.  It needs support.  As do you.  Let more people in.
