MorganaName - Alastrina Rogers (nickname: Alice)
Alias - Cyrania de Bergerac
Age - 17
Appearance -
Except with a musketeer hat with the white plume
Physical: Tall, lithe Caucasian body with wavy, shoulder length, dirty blonde hair and gray/blue eyes in an oval face
Social Class - Low
Powers - Light Manipulation: Can use light to make illusions, force fields, and turn invisible; Mental Powers (Light Manipulation being more of a specific avenue of her Mental Powers): Can sense people's locations, has telekinesis, teleportation, and is resistant to mental attacks and take-overs
Weaknesses - Excessively Loyal: She tends to throw herself in harm's way or offer herself up in the place of others for people she cares for and/or considers under her protection; Limited Energy: If she burns through her energy reserve, she then takes energy from primary functions of her body which can cause her to pass out and/or die. Energy can be regained from food, drink, sleep, or light; Frail Body: Her body easily wounds and can't stand up to much punishment.
Personality - Stern and unwavering when something needs to be done, yet is warm and caring when someone she cares for gets hurt. She's loyal to people but loyal to her morals more and always seeks to do what's right. Causes her to act impulsively though she tries to fight it so she can at least analyze the situation first before she barges in. Also shows a bit of a playful side when things have calmed down for a bit and if it could be used to unbalance enemies.
Motivation - She wants there to be a reason she came to exist, a purpose that helps the world. Also, looks up to Captain America of the Heroic Age and wants to be like him.
BRIEF Bio - Even before Spiderman came to be, Alchemax sought to produce superheroes to protect its own interests. So, they hired the famous geneticist Arnim Zola to see how feasible a completely test-tube hero would be. Zola relished in the challenge and immediately sent his henchmen to gather Captain America and Invisible Woman up. Then he collected the two's genes, set them into stasis for future use, and was about to just splice those genes right there and then when he heard reports that Loki had come to Earth. Thinking of what a wonderful opportunity this presented, Zola invited him over to suggest a proposition and would show him Cap and Invisible Girl as his credentials. Loki was intrigued and confident he could handle anything a mere mortal could dish out, so he accepted the invitation. The God of Mischief really didn't expect the robotic grabbing arms as he came in or the knock-out serum Zola had been able to devise injected right afterwards.
When he came to, Loki found himself being awakened from a stasis tube and having a DNA sample taken. In those brief seconds before he was put back in, he leapt out while leaving a illusion in his place. After the man left, Loki left the room in the guise of one of Zola's underlings, seeking a way out, a reason for what happened, and revenge against the doctor. First of course, he gathered his weapons. Then he finally traced Zola's signal and was shocked by what he saw after he invisibly snuck into the doctor's office. A young six year old girl was crying and saying that robots were one thing, killing people for training purposes was another, she couldn't do it. Arnim yelled that it showed weakness in her that couldn't exist if she was going to actually be of use. Then Dr. Zola sent her back to her training room for a test to decide her fate. Then the heads of Alchemax hologrammed to finally see the results of the project, Zola then let them see the live footage of the now underway test of her against an all-human army. He talked about how this first experiment was a failure, the mixing of Cap, Sue, and Loki had produced a highly talented psychic, but was comparable to a normal man in terms of strength and endurance and to her detriment was very strong-willed, something very undesirable for their purposes. Therefore, this final test was designed to be her end unless she killed, and from there be more malleable to follow future orders.
Loki wasn't sure what it was; some good still remaining in him, the biological connection between him and her, or just the opportunity to foil Arnim's plans; but Zola's message made him snap. The adopted odinson actually found himself teleporting straight into battle and knocking the girl down from an upcoming attack. She then put up a forcefield to protect against the next attack and Loki then transported both of them into the hallway. From there, they ducked and ran through the halls, dodging guns and seeking the way out. When they got out, they kept going until they came to the heart of what is now known as the Badlands. After that, Loki realized that there would be three groups hunting him as well as her one and there was no way this girl could survive alone in the wild. Besides, this girl had his skills and would be an interesting apprentice. So in case she knew anything about the past, he introduced himself as "Merlin" and said that he had discovered her through stories of a mortal that had powers such as him.
His caution was unnecessary right then though. Through her rapid growth from conception to four years of age then her two years afterwards, she had only learned speaking and fighting, only knowing herself as Experiment Alpha who would be given a true name if she proved herself worthy to Arnim and Alchemax. Merlin was surprised at that and offered to teach her what she had been missing out on as well as some more techniques if she wanted. The girl was eager to learn from her rescuer and was thrilled when he then gave her a name, Cyrania de Bergerac, a name he considered fine for a mortal sorceress. The resulting years were heavenly for Cyrania and made Loki grow fond of this offspring of his, though her Captain America tendencies would vex him. She would often get her energy to dangerously low levels when helping some passerby fend off the wildlife and the increasing numbers of Hulk-like creatures, causing Merlin to have to go in and rescue her. From one of those passerby, she first heard about the Heroic Age and begged Merlin to tell her about it. So he told tales of the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the only exceptions were any tales relating to Loki. Cyrania was suspicious of the gaps, but Loki prefered the suspicions to potentially losing her love and trust. She looked up to those superheroes, Cap especially, and wanted to be like one of them. What would she think if her mentor and biological father was a supervillain? And as he saw his daughter seek to emulate her other biological father, he was jealous that she would take so much after him, yet proud of the woman she was becoming and realized that he didn't want her to follow his path. He realized this more and more as he started to enjoy helping her help others and was proud and saddened by her wanting to go into Nueva York and stop Alchemax from doing anymore of the evil she kept hearing about from desperate travelers who ran into the Badlands to escape.
But Cyrania wasn't ready yet the first dozen times she tried to go, so Merlin stopped her then. But he knew she would be soon, and he at least wanted her to have some sort of physical weapon to have as a fallback. And there was one place he knew of that contained real quality weapons. So on her 17th birthday (date: the day she was rescued, age: the years after their escape plus her bodies six previous years), Merlin told Cyrania about a "deserted Asgardian armoury" where they were going to get her a weapon (a lie he hoped to keep secret since his target was a part of the armoury people rarely went, he could probably disguise the presence of people without her realizing it, and he could teleport directly to where the most powerful Asgardian-made weapons were). Cyr was eager for a real weapon, having been trained by Merlin in various weapon types using illusion weapons, but wondered how an abandoned armoury could still have weapons in it. That question then seemed to have been answered when they arrived and were met with a security alert and a welcoming committee of Asgardian automatons.
Merlin held them off while she went to wisely choose a weapon, Cry hoping she didn't choose too late. She felt drawn to one lonely corner where a sword was set in an old leather sheath. Merlin was starting to get swamped, so she ran and grabbed the sheath and sword. Then she strapped the sheath to her side, drew out the sword, and teleported herself back to the battle. Cry found as she slashed and dodged that the sword felt like an extension of herself, it amplified her abilities and gave her a solid attack in her mostly defensive arsenal. It just felt so natural to her that she almost didn't notice when the last automaton was defeated and was whisked away by Merlin before the cavalry arrived. After the jump back to the Badlands, Loki took a good look at his daughter's choice and recognized the blade. It was Laevateinn, an ancient sword made for a sorcerer's use that all had assumed Loki would wield since Thor had Mjolnir. The sword though had to same caveat as the hammer, only one
who was worthy could wield it, and the sword had never considered Loki worthy. Now she was wielding it as if it had been with her for her entire life, then when Cyr asked about the sword, Merlin, to help her not become proud or doubtful, told her the sword's name, that is was a vibranium-like material, and that it could only be wielded by a random few and she was one of them. Cyr then asked if she was ready and Merlin said yes. She at first thought he would go in with her, but Merlin said that she should start in there and search for the new heroes of this age so they could band together against the evil. He would go for any of the old heroes who were still alive and come back to her. He advised though that Cyr choose a cover name that would work for day-to-day living in the city, so Cyr choose Alastrina Rogers, Alice for short. Then after a heartbreaking farewell, the two went their separate ways, Cyrania into the city join the new Avengers against Alchemax, Loki into a quiet spot where he could plan what he was going to do next.
Notes - Sorry that the Bio's so long, just wanted to make sure to answer the questions without too many plot holes. The inclusion of Laevateinn comes from some comics having Loki wielding it. Loki can still revert to a bad guy if the GM wants, though I'm one of those who like the idea of a good Loki.
I've finished it. Sorry it took so long.
