Okay, took me a while to come up with something that maybe works with this sort of vague and flexible "magic/cultivation/ascension" system, but here's the character concept I'd like to pitch before I go to all the work of making a sheet or anything.


[hider=Jen - Flashpoint]
Her world is a super-hero-type in the local cosmology. Basically just insert a random mix of any Marvel/DC or whatever tropes. It's got all you could want from such a setting. However, the main problem here is that for her world? Supers are a new thing. By whatever means they gain their abilities, they have appeared only within the latest 3 decades, and the local Avengers/Justice League has yet to form until the end of her Journey. Thus, on a cosmic scale, this makes them... vulnerable.

Jen is a black-souled human from this world, who was born with a connection to the White/Red concept of SPEED. If there's an absurd speedster feat in comics, you can bet there's a good chance she can pull it off using said magics. She was eventually forced to begin bettering herself and mastering that power very young when her world became a target for conquest by what was effectively a wuxia protagonist with a god-complex (which is basically all of them). Given that her world didn't have an established team to defend it, it quickly devolved from the golden age of supers into a mix of a deconstruction of a superhero world and the post-apocalypse.

Over time, as her mastery grew, Jen would end up essentially becoming the most famous "speedster" of her world, a dedicated hero who was often the only thing between the world and total conquest, despite her relative youth. Her sheer speed was simply something that the wuxia invader couldn't overcome without extreme effort. If she so much as heard of a battle, she could be there in minutes at the absolute most. Bases could be evacuated, injured rushed to medics and healers. If she was on the field, it was nigh impossible to make any lasting deaths happen among her fellow heroes and the world resistance.

The Invader soon realized he couldn't overcome her speed in a straight fight even with all his supernatural martial prowess; unfortunately, this forced him to fight smarter, to be subtle so that her interference was a nonissue. With bullshit determination and what could only be described as "basically plot armor" by those that fought him, The Invader sought godhood and made steady progress towards that goal, forcing the world's defenders to slowly but steadily give ground. After all, Jen couldn't be everywhere at once.

Eventually, the final battle culminated in the Invader achieving his goal, nearly cultivating his soul to a higher plane of existence. The ritual to achieve godhood was repurposed into a brutal sacrificial rite that would both herald his ascension and simultaneously kill the heroes that came to stop it, using them as the sacrifices. The ritual was an abhorrent success, wiping out a large portion of the planet's population, even as Jen herself vibrated her atoms and very soul enough to phase through the wave of annihilation.

By this point, Jen had achieved the peak of what could be had without taking a very dangerous step: time travel.

She was wary, and every possible bit of research, training and instinct within her screamed that attempting time travel was a fool's errand, more likely to cause a paradox than anything even remotely similar to what she'd read in comic books. That said, it was the only thing she had left, and she had a theory about how she could make it work.

Speed of light remains constant irrespective of the observer
It is observed that as the speed of object increases, time slows down
At the speed of light, time stops
And on further increment of speed greater than light, time reverses
Thus to travel back in time we have to move faster than Light

These were the steps, almost too simple to be believed. But in order to prevent the paradox caused by her own existence from occurring, Jen added one further: She would sacrifice her past in order to ensure that her physical appearance in the past as an adult would not cause a paradox or otherwise unintentionally screw over the universe. She'd never attempted time travel before, so she felt that this was a necessary step to cover for her inexperience. Perhaps if she had even further mastery, she could have pulled off flawless time travel, but for now, this would have to do.

As she ran, she went for broke, unwilling to let her sacrifice be in vain, knowing that everyone she knew and loved would forget her very existence -that she would have never existed to begin with. Thus, she didn't just erase the battle, the [i]defeat[/i]. She reversed time by [i]years[/i] all the way back to the exact moment the Wuxia Invader had arrived in her world. And as she did so, the disappearance of her very past caused her body to begin to come apart at the seams. Into order to retain cohesion and survive, she began to infuse herself with the very concept of speed, joining herself with a fundament of the universe, a part of her mortality inextricably cast away to achieve a status above human, that which would let her prevail. As she traced the Invader's path through time all the way back to the start, she readied herself for a battle that she would have never been able to give him decades ago.

She found the moment of the Invader's entry, reentered the proper time-stream, and then attacked him with every bit of her fully cultivated power against his far less experienced self. Despite being objectively far older than her when he arrived, his future self had learned how to fight a weaker her as they both grew and adapted to each-other in turn. To bring her strongest self to bear against him at his weakest after he had expended great power to cross the boundaries of worlds? In that moment, he was vulnerable, and she struck with blows faster than the flow of time itself, a merciless barrage of vibrating attacks that completely stripped him to nothing, reduced to mere atoms that would never be able to reconstitute, no matter his training.

However, there was a cost for this victory. The Invader had still been resolving the effects of his dimensional technique when she struck. The combination of such a technique imploding and Jen's own state of still-resolving ascension and loose grasp on the reality at hand caused her to be nicked by the collapsing technique and thrust from her world.

As she arrived in a place unknown, she found that her very being had been fundamentally changed by the experience and her sacrifice. In order to maintain her existence, she had not merely joined herself to the concept of speed. No, for to join herself with her own universe's rules of reality would have resulted in her unraveling the moment she left. Instead, she had managed to transform herself into a sort of moving "universe of Speed" in the shape of a human. Her very self was a self-sustaining battery of an existence that molded and adapted itself to instead by fueled merely by Jen's own belief and perception of Speed.

She had lost her world and saved it in the same breath. She knew that no-one would ever remember her, that no sign of her existence would or could ever exist. There was nothing left for her there. Perhaps, one day, she might find a way back, but for the time being? There was a new world to save and new evils to face. She had become something new, some [i]more[/i], and now that she had taken the final step of her prior journey, it was time to take the first step of the new.

EDIT: Will probably do a more summarized version (or just put the background in a hider) for the actual sheet, but that can wait till after feedback and/or approval.
