Her trademark weapon is the Lasso of Hestia, an unbreakable rope that compels those bound by it to speak only the truth. Recently, however, she has relied more on the Sword of Athena, a blade sharp enough to cut the skin of a Kryptonian, and the Aegis, the indestructible shield of Zeus. In addition, she wears Bracelets of Submission, a symbol of her servitude to humanity, which can deflect all but the most powerful of blows.[/color] [COLOR=darkgray][color=Gold][b]►Amazonian Training:[/b][/color] Having been raised among a race of elite warriors, Diana is a master of combat. Combined with her innate abilities and magical weapons, Wonder Woman is nearly unbeatable in single combat, but she is just as adept at coordination and strategy. Her expertise reaches far beyond the bounds of warfare, as she is also a masterful diplomat and negotiator, as well as an expert in antiquities, arcana, and history.[/color][/sup] [sub][b][color=PaleGoldenRod]A L L I E S[/color][/b][/sub] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ [COLOR=darkgray][color=Gold][b]►Steve Trevor:[/b][/color] A former Navy SEAL and current agent of the counter-metahuman task force ARGUS, Steve Trevor was the first outsider Diana had ever met. Having crash-landed on Themyscira years ago, he was the one who convinced the Amazons to send an emissary to Man's World. Since then, Trevor has been Diana's most steadfast ally, most trusted friend, and on-and-off lover.[/color] [COLOR=darkgray][color=Gold][b]►Donna Troy:[/b][/color] A younger clone of Diana made by the villainous sorceress Circe, Donna was originally created to kill Diana and take her place as Wonder Woman. However, over time, the real Wonder Woman was able to break her of Circe's control and help her choose her own destiny. Still distrusted by many as a former "evil doppelganger," Donna tends to avoid other superhumans unless absolutely necessary.[/color] [COLOR=darkgray][color=Gold][b]►Cassie Sandsmark:[/b][/color] Diana's teenage protégée, Cassie was an unassuming high-schooler until learning that she was the last living direct-bloodline descendant of Zeus. She has only recently begun discovering her own divine abilities, and Diana has taken her under her wing to protect and train. While Diana has strictly forbidden engaging in heroics until her training is complete, Cassie has on multiple occasions disobeyed her mentor to save lives and fight evil as 'Wonder Girl.'[/color][/sup] [color=#2e2c2c]-[/color][/indent][/hider][/INDENT][indent][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] P O S T C A T A L O G[/color] [color=lightgray]P O S T C A T A L O G[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][/INDENT][sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [INDENT][hider=][color=#2e2c2c]-[/color] [indent][sub][b][color=lightgray] P O S T C A T A L O G[/color][/b][/sub] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ [COLOR=darkgray]◼ [/COLOR][/SUP] [color=#2e2c2c]-[/color][/indent][/hider][/INDENT][/cell][cell][INDENT][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T[/color] [color=PaleGoldenRod]C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][/INDENT][sup]________________________________________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent][i]For thousands of years, the Amazons of Themyscira thrived in peaceful isolation, until a stranger washed ashore on their island. An outsider, a soldier named Steve Trevor, had crashed his plane on a vital mission to save innocent lives. To learn how much the world of men had changed in their exile, the Amazons chose to send a champion and emissary to return Trevor to his home. A contest was held to see who would be their champion, and much to the shock and surprise of the Queen Hippolyta, the winner was none other than her daughter Diana, who had entered the contest against her mother's wishes. Having proved herself worthy of the task, Diana was granted weapons forged by the gods, vowing to protect not just the Amazons, but all of humanity, from the forces of evil. Upon arriving in Man's World, she was dubbed 'Wonder Woman,' and was surprised to find herself just one of many costumed champions of good. For several years, Diana fought the good fight, joining forces with the alien Superman, the vigilante Batman, and many others to form the Justice League, in the hopes of being a guiding light for all in dark times. She won victory after victory, defeating the forces of the sinister war-god Ares, the bestial Cheetah, the brutish Giganta, the diabolical sorceress Circe, and even her own magical clone Donna Troy, eventually helping her duplicate redeem herself and become a hero in her own right. These victories, however, would amount to precious little when the alien conqueror Despero came to Earth. Wonder Woman was one of the first to engage the brute, and initially had him defeated, offering to spare his life if he left the people of Earth alone. Despero would take advantage of this momentary act of mercy to blindside Diana, leaving her nearly crippled and out of the fight, helpless to watch as thousands died in the ensuing battle. Blaming herself for Despero's rampage, Diana has spent the past four years pushing herself harder than ever. Even as she exhausts herself trying to make up for the blood she believes to be on her hands, she now finds herself questioning the mercy that Despero had exploited, and has begun to wonder if humanity truly needs another 'hero,' or if what it really needs in these times is a warrior.[/i] This version of Wonder Woman has been operating as a superhero nearly as long as Bruce and Clark, and given the weirdly timeless nature of Themyscira, has probably been training and studying for far longer. In terms of her powers, she's roughly on par with her movie counterpart, strong enough and fast enough that she can perform incredible feats, but still has to rely on her skills and her weapons to contend with the real heavy hitters. Ever since the dissolution of the Justice League, she has kept fellow heroes at arms' length, even ones she had once considered dear friends. She has been in a crisis of confidence since then, wondering if the high-minded idealism of the League was ever a good idea. This is an especially precarious point, as she's now also responsible for the impressionable young Cassie, and has to decide what kind of lessons she is going to teach her protégée.

Because of that, I want to make her a roaming character, able to wander in and out of events with other players and play off of them. I also think that given the nature of this game's premise, Diana is probably the best character DC has to play around with the relationship between superheroes and death. Like, we [i]know[/i] Batman is never going to kill the Joker, so it feels almost like a waste of time when they bring it up. People get up in arms for years when Superman puts down a genocidal maniac in a movie, to the point where it's haunted the character for nearly a decade now. It's been hard-etched in stone that Batman doesn't kill, and Superman shouldn't kill. But Wonder Woman? She just might. And what's more, she might be completely right to do so. While I have no intention of turning Diana into a bloodthirsty warmonger (she's an Amazon, not a Klingon), I think she's the right character to explore the concept of powerful people having the power of life and death, and can make a persuasive argument for either side without coming off as a preachy, meta-aware lecture.
