Her hair is naturally a warm brown, although she often dyes it a variety of colours. Mostly recently she has kept it black. She keeps her hair long, usually worn loose or in elaborate styles that do little to obscure its length. She has an curvaceous hourglass figure, the softer kind born of good living and kind genetics as opposed to any great degree of training or discipline. She dresses well, as would be expected for someone who loves the limelight. Most stringly of all, of course, are her wings. Two large feathered wings flair out from her lower back. While she can fold them quite efficiently, at full extent she has a wingspan a little over twice her height. These wings, seemingly in build akin to that of a Falcon, are made of white feathers with golden accents. It is not usually possible for her to hide or dismiss her wings in anyway.[/indent][/COLOR] [sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] L I K E S & D I S L I K E S[/color] [color=#D4AF37]L I K E S & D I S L I K E S[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=darkgray][indent][color=#5B9BD5][b]Likes:[/b][/color] - A well-composed photograph - Room service in expensive hotels - Gold, in most of its applications [color=#5B9BD5][b]Dislikes:[/b][/color] - Being told what to do by people she considers her inferiors, which is most people - The Phoenix Program's insistence on an actual schedule of her time. - The gap between what she remembers being capable of in past lives and what she can currently do - Sincerity, which she finds exhausting in others and unsettling in herself[/indent][/COLOR] [sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] Q U I R K S[/color] [color=#D4AF37]Q U I R K S[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=darkgray][indent]- Occasionally speaks in a language that is not quite any modern language when startled or in pain — fragments of something old - She sometimes recognizes people (particularly those with extended lifespans on account of their abilities) she has never met in this life, and has learned to keep this off her face.[/indent][/COLOR] [sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] S T A T S P E C I A L I S A T I O N S[/color] [color=#D4AF37]S T A T S P E C I A L I S A T I O N S[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][sup]_________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=darkgray][indent][color=#5B9BD5][b]Combat:[/b][/color] 2 [color=#5B9BD5][b]Vigor:[/b][/color] 4 [color=#5B9BD5][b]Mobility:[/b][/color] 5 [color=#5B9BD5][b]Charisma:[/b][/color] 4 [color=#5B9BD5][b]Intellect:[/b][/color] 1[/indent][/COLOR][/cell] [cell][INDENT][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] B A C K G R O U N D[/color] [color=#D4AF37]B A C K G R O U N D[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][/INDENT][sup]________________________________________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=darkgray][indent]Nadia was born in Chicago to second-generation Egyptian-American parents, neither of whom had any particular interest in mythology or ancient history beyond the occasional family holiday to visit relatives. She grew up entirely ordinarily until she was sixteen, at which point she woke up one morning with a pair of enormous falcon wings folded against her back, a strength that bent the frame of her bedroom door, and the first of what would become an increasingly detailed series of memories that were not her own. The transition from normal teenager to divine reincarnation was, by her own account, less traumatic than you might expect. Nadia has always been good at adapting to situations that benefit her. The memories came slowly over the following months, fragments at first, then longer sequences, then whole lifetimes. Battlefields. Temples. Other bodies, other faces, all of them hers. She is the latest in an unbroken cycle of reincarnations tied to Horus, the sky god, each life beginning without knowledge of the last until the powers awaken and the past returns. She is not entirely sure what the cycle is for or what it is building toward. She has not, if she is honest, spent a great deal of time worrying about it. The memories are useful context. The powers are more immediately interesting. If the distant dreams of a God's favoured priestess being granted divine power and endless life as a means to escape her untimely end are even true, they matter little to her in there here and now. What she did with those powers in the years between sixteen and twenty-two is where the story gets complicated. She launched a social media presence almost immediately, initially as a hero , genuinely stopping crimes, genuinely helping people, but always with a camera angle in mind. The content performed extraordinarily well. Brand deals followed. Merchandise. Paid appearances. Then, gradually, something shifted. The heroics became content, and the content became a business, and the business had operating costs that a legitimate SDN-registered hero's stipend did not cover. She began taking private contracts; corporate security, personal protection for clients who wanted the novelty of a genuine superhero on retainer. She treated fans as little better than servants. Eventually this caught up with her in an armed confrontation that resulted in a deal. The choice of joining the Phoenix Program or ending up in a whole different level of trouble. She arrived at the Phoenix Program with the energy of someone attending a moderately inconvenient appointment. She is cooperative, technically compliant, and has absolutely no intention of letting this experience change her in any meaningful way. She is also, underneath the performance of mild contrition, considerably more complicated than she presents, three thousand years of accumulated lives have a way of leaving marks, even on someone doing their best not to examine them too closely.[/indent][/COLOR] [INDENT][hider=Hero Details][color=#2e2c2c]-[/color] [sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] H E R O A P P E A R A N C E[/color] [color=#D4AF37]H E R O A P P E A R A N C E[/color][/b][/h3][/sub][/sup][/sub][sup]________________________________________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=darkgray][indent]In costume she wears a sleek white bodysuit, with detailing in teal, fold and red. Her mask is a tinted visor with a trim that has an avian styling. For some time she carried a variety of often ceremonial looking weapons but out of concerns for a risk she might disembowel somwone, under the Phoenix program she relies on her enhanced strength and speed alone.

Her divine blessing grants her enhanced strength and durability well beyond the human baseline — she hits hard, takes hits well, and heals faster than she should. These physical gifts are tied directly to her connection to her past lives and whatever is the true source of her power, and have grown stronger as her memories of past lives have returned, suggesting the cycle is cumulative in some way she has not fully mapped yet.[/indent][/COLOR] [color=#2e2c2c]-[/color][/hider][/INDENT][/cell][/row][/table] [sub]__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________[/sub][/COLOR][/INDENT] [/hider]
