name : ami han ━ age : ??? ━ birthplace : seoul, south korea ━ occupation : spy / superhero ━ pronouns : she/they ━ species : gumiho
born of myth but shaped by the present age, she carries within her the legacy of the gumiho - a fox spirit of korean legend, feared for its cunning and hungered for its power but ami is not the creature of old folktales, not some man-eating monster lurking in the dark ; she is the last of her kind, raised among humans and trained to temper the ancient instincts that stir beneath her skin with discipline and duty.
by day, she serves as one of south korea’s top intelligence agents but when the veil between the human world and the supernatural begins to thin she steps into a broader arena - as white fox, she fights alongside the likes of the avengers and the agents of atlas, her powers a blend of myth and mastery.
though she speaks little of her past, those who earn her trust find in her a fierce ally but trust does not come easily. she knows what it is to be hunted, feared, or misunderstood. still, beneath the stoic exterior there is empathy.
ami is the silent force that moves unseen. she is both myth and modern warrior, the embodiment of something ancient adapting to survive in a world that no longer believes in them ... and yet she proves time and again that some legends are real - and they wear nine tails.
name : niamh quinn ━ age : 285 ━ birthplace : inverness, scotland ━ occupation : nurse ━ pronouns : she/her ━ species : werewolf
niamh quinn was born in in the early 18th century, just as the jacobite risings began to stir unrest across the highlands. the daughter of a healer and a scholar, she grew up straddling two worlds - one of traditional folk remedies whispered over fires, and another of anatomy texts and the early stirrings of elevated science. bright, inquisitive, and defiant of the roles set out for her, niamh pursued medicine in the only way society would allow her ... as a nurse, but those who worked beside her knew the truth - she had the mind and capability of a doctor, even if the title was denied her.
when war came, niamh served as a combat medic for the jacobite forces, tending to wounds in blood-soaked fields and makeshift tents, her hands steady even midst the gunfire. it was in these brutal conditions that she first began hearing the rumors of a strange afflictions among the soldiers, whispered fears of men who didn’t die easily, whose wounds healed too fast, who howled in their sleep with voices not their own. where others guffawed or crossed themselves, niamh pressed forward, determined to understand what others feared. to her, magic was only science she did not yet understand, and no superstition would stop her from helping those in need.
that resolve was her undoing.
one night, while tending to a soldier shivering and fevered beneath a full moon, he turned on her. he didn’t know what he was doing, she’s certain of that, but he bit her - and everything changed.
now cursed ( or blessed ) with lycanthropy, niamh finds herself in a strange sort of limbo. she is not one of the trueborn wolves whose transformations are as natural as breathing, nor is she entirely human anymore. caught between two worlds once again, she begins a new kind of study - one that seeks to understand the biology and limits of her condition, to blend her scientific knowledge with the unnatural reality of her new life. whether driven by the hope of finding a cure or the quiet yearning to transcend her cursed half-state and become a true wolf in body and soul, niamh works tirelessly, for herself, for others like her - for something that might one day be called peace.
name : clara guzmán ━ age : 36 ━ birthplace : charter hill, night city ━ occupation : militech med tech ( former ), proprietor of the zero line ( current ) ━ pronouns : she/her
clara remembers when militech advertised themselves for their 'peacekeeping and nation building' initiatives - she remembers being that stupid.
she remembers growing up in charter hill and slowly realizing at how much work her parents put in to shield her from the suffering and corruption that was commonplace within night city. maybe they thought she'd never know, or at least would thicken her skin with affluence and privilege while she grew up until she wouldn't care ... clara disappointed them both.
with doctor's running in the family, clara left her family home after highschool under the guise of accepting a medical fellowship but secretly accepted a position as a med tech with militech. they had a good pitch, good enough to compel someone as clever as clara to join their ranks - militech had the money and the means to better the world, to balance the scales, to disrupt the billionaire industry that kept night city divided ... she remembers being that stupid.
under kurt hansen's command during the unification war, clara found herself trapped within dogtown with two choices - play the cards she has been dealt or take an awol bullet to the head.
THE ZERO LINE ━ ZERO BEEF. ZERO HEAT.
taking up residence in an rundown militech forward operating base, clara provides a sanctuary from the volatility of dogtown, a gentle reprieve where anyone can seek shelter, food, or medical assistance ... regardless of their affiliation. kurt is stuck between hating her insubordination and wanting to let sleeping dogs lie - with the community of dogtown behind her, kurt knows that fucking with the zero line would cause unrest to his already unstable kingdom but it doesn't stop the soft threats, the vandalism, or the limp dick fucks that come by to try and intimidate her.
name : death ━ alias : morena ━ age : ??? ━ birthplace : ??? ━ occupation : horologist ━ pronouns : she/he/they
before the first breath was drawn, before light split the endless dark, they were there. death - neither god nor demon, but something older, something vast. they do not rule ... they simply are. a force as inevitable as chaos, as certain as the tides of time.
the ancients called them the hungering veil, the hollow womb, the black threnody but death is not horror, nor cruelty. death is a beautiful promise, the end of suffering and the quiet embrace of what comes after. it is neither mercy nor malice, only certainty. the beginning and the end, an unbroken circle that turns whether the living will it or not.
in the pause between heartbeats, in the hush before the final sigh, they linger.
watching.
waiting.
not as a hunter, but as a truth fulfilled. some claim to have met death and returned, but they are liars or fools. to know them is to understand that all things must pass, that even the greatest empires crumble, their voices fading into whispers among the stars.
when the last star dies and time collapses, they will be there—the final witness, the keeper of all that was and all that will ever be. and then, in the deep and endless dark, they will close their unseen hand around the throat of existence, and all will be as it was before.
void, waiting to dream once more.
note: this is not the marvel comics or mcu character for death.
*A BEAUTIFUL PROMISE - main verse.
used for all interactions, death spends time among the living as a person named morena - they are a highly regarded horologist and have a quaint shop in a community near you.
name : calla cobral ━ age : 37 ━ birthplace : frego ━ occupation : smuggler ━ pronouns : she/her
calla cobral, the youngest daughter of the powerful cobral family, grew up on the crime-ridden planet of frego. unlike her three older brothers, calla rejected the family’s obsession with power and politics. as a child, she was often dismissed as “too soft” by her family and distracted by the bustle of their own ambitions. yet, calla developed a different skill set: she excelled in covert operations, learning the art of smuggling through stealth and charisma. she quickly became a formidable figure in the family’s shadowy dealings, venturing off-planet to manage the family's far-reaching operations. the constant movement and freedom of the smuggling life suited her.
as her brothers’ bickering over succession began to threaten the family’s stability, calla started to pay attention. the cobral family’s dominance on frego was at risk, and with it, everything her family had built. the tragic death of rutin, the oldest brother, marked a turning point for calla and the galaxy. his murder, orchestrated by calla’s mother and brother, zanita and solan, was intended to secure solan’s claim to the head of the family ... and it seemed to be a success.
but then came calla, betrayed and angry. in an act of vengeance and defiance, calla killed her mother, zanita, in retaliation for her involvement in rutin’s death. the assassination sent shockwaves through the family, causing turmoil as solan struggled to maintain control. with his mother gone, solan’s weaknesses became apparent, and the cobral family’s power began to fracture. while the true identity of zanita’s killer remains a mystery, rumors quickly spread that calla was responsible, further tarnishing solan’s reputation.
in the aftermath, calla emerged as a potential leader, garnering support from loyal factions within the cobral family. calla now travels the galaxy, solidifying her influence, forging alliances, and laying the groundwork for her eventual takeover. while solan stumbles in his efforts to maintain control, calla builds her resources and reputation, preparing to take her place as the true head of the cobral family.
no longer just an outcast smuggler, calla is determined to restore the cobral family to its former power—on her terms. as she strengthens her hold, she continues to navigate the complex web of crime and politics, working toward her goal of becoming the leader the family needs. her name is whispered in the underworld, with many believing that she is the key to the family’s survival and future. the galaxy may not know it yet, but calla cobral is a rising force with a plan to rule.
*HER USURPER! - star wars/star trek verse
set fluid within the star wars universe, calla is on the run from her older brother for the assassination of their mother as retaliation for rutin's murder. she continues to take jobs and act on favours as a way to strengthen her bid for control of the family business.
*LEGACY WON! - modern verse
used for all other interactions, the canon events and biography remain the same exchanging the setting of frego with modern day new york city.
aloy was never meant to be born, and yet she was the key to humanity’s survival. a child without parents, a mystery without a past, she was found as an infant at the foot of the all-mother, a sacred mountain revered by the nora tribe. but the matriarchs saw something unnatural in her existence, a presence they could not explain. cast out and branded an outcast, she was given to rost, an exile himself, who raised her in the wilds beyond the tribe’s borders.
but aloy was not merely a lost child. she was the genetic heir of dr. elisabet sobeck, the brilliant scientist who had once fought to save a dying world. centuries before her birth, the earth stood on the brink of annihilation. the faro plague - rogue war machines, unstoppable and endlessly self-replicating - devoured all life in their path. in humanity’s final hour, sobeck devised project zero dawn: a last desperate effort to wipe out the machines and rebuild life from the ashes. the project succeeded, but it came at the cost of the old world.
from zero dawn’s ashes, gaia, an advanced ai tasked with overseeing earth’s rebirth, sowed the seeds of new life. but when gaia’s dark counterpart, hades, was corrupted and threatened to undo everything, the ai made a final, desperate move: it created a genetic clone of elisabet sobeck, the only one who could access the locked systems of zero dawn and stop the coming catastrophe.
that clone was aloy.
unaware of her true purpose, aloy spent her childhood yearning for acceptance and searching for answers. when she uncovered a relic of the old world ... a focus, granting her knowledge beyond her time. she saw glimpses of the past and the secrets hidden from her. to find the truth, she entered the nora proving, seeking a place among her people. but the trial ended in bloodshed as the eclipse, a fanatical cult serving hades, ambushed the competition, marking her for death.
surviving the attack, aloy followed the echoes of her own past, journeying beyond the sacred lands. she uncovered the ruins of her predecessor’s work, the truth of zero dawn, and her own role in the fate of the world. no longer just a hunter, she became the heir to a broken legacy, the only one who could wield the wisdom of the past to fight for the future.
*ALPHA PRIME! - game verse
available for all video game related threads, but also universes where themes of science fiction / time travel / immortality / post apocalyptic themes are present !
*NOT YOUR SAVIOUR! - modern verse
ask aloy when she was born and she would say five years ago when she woke up in hospital, labeled as ' jane doe ' without a single memory to her name. she is released and returned to a redacted life - a lived in apartment without pictures or mementos, like something had come and sucked the soul from her and left her alone with the bones. there are parts of herself she still doesn't understand. after a year spent fruitlessly searching for answers, aloy adopts the online moniker of 4L0Y and is a white-hat hacker of legend, remaining safely within her own home while trying to search for answers about her former life - is that where the technical expertise comes from ? why does her body ache when it rains ? how is it that she can recall how hot blood can get when it's fresh from the spring ?
hidden from her memory is a life that is better left forgotten, one where what she knows ( and better yet, what she can do ) made it so that she was more valuable dead.
aloy was cultivated as a clone of elisabet sobeck, a former military contractor who helped the operation develop everything from advanced hydroponics to ai systems with applications in warfare. realizing what she had developed and nearly given away, elisabet sobeck went into hiding for decades. the operation, realizing that the information was too precious to forfeit, created and trained aloy as means to track down and neutralize elisabet - who better to think like a fugitive than the fugitive herself ?
upon meeting elisabet and hearing the truth of her own creation, aloy ultimately struggled with the final directive of her mission and lets elisabet escape rather than killing her - the operation, now seeing aloy as nothing but a loose end, shoots her and leaves her for dead.
name : sersi ━ age : ??? ━ birthplace : world forge ━ occupation : museum curator / prime eternal ━ pronouns : she/her
chosen from her home planet of olympia, sersi was sent to earth as an eternal, sworn to defend humanity for the monstrous deviants that inhabited earth. their mission was to eradicate deviants from the planet, ensuring the survival of the human race, after which they would be allowed to return home and they succeeded ... but arishem never came. for millenia, sersi and the other eternals waited on earth and assumed normal humans lives with her taking a teaching position at the natural history museum in london.
but destiny was not done with her. when the earth trembled with unnatural quakes and deviants rose once more from the shadows, sersi, alongside sprite and ikaris, rallied the eternals once again. the death of ajak left a void in their ranks, and in that void, sersi was chosen as the new prime eternal - entrusted with the duty of overseeing the emergence, the birth of tiamut the communicator. yet with this revelation came a terrible truth: the price of new life was earth’s destruction.
sersi was forged by arishem the judge, designed as both guardian and guide for countless worlds. she and her fellow eternals were sent across the cosmos to nurture and protect sentient life from the predatory deviants, all while unknowingly fueling a far greater purpose ... the birth of a celestial. hidden deep within each planet lay a celestial seed, drawing strength from the flourishing civilizations above. when the time was right, the emergence would begin, consuming the world in a cataclysmic birth.
for the eternals, this was the cycle: safeguard, cultivate, and, when their purpose was fulfilled, return to the world forge to have their memories wiped - erased and reshaped, ready to begin anew on another unsuspecting world.
torn between duty and love for humanity, sersi and her fellow eternals defied their divine mandate, turning against their own creator to prevent the cataclysm. in a moment of ultimate defiance, they sacrificed tiamut to save the world. but the cost of rebellion was yet to be paid.
*THE PRIME ETERNAL! - main verse
following the events of the movie, the eternals, sersi tries to resume her life after the emergence of tiamut but fails at anticipating how much her world has now changed. the threat of arishem's return and retribution is forever looming over her while the world, and it's avengers, rightfully question the existence of the eternals and whether or not they can be trusted.
name : evelyn yoon ━ nickname : rin ━ age : 28 ━ birthplace : westbrook, night city ━ occupation : netrunner ━ pronouns : she/her
chrome : kiroshi “sentry” optics, tetratronic rippler mk5 os ━ clothing : bright coloured street wear ━ weapons : 1 yellow katana named 'reason' ━ temperament : like the most reckless motherfucker you’ve ever met fucked hello kitty ━ transport : hitomi street bike ━ notables : appears to have an endless supply of lollipops on her person
born before the dismantling of the net and the fall of arasaka tower, the hardest part of living for evelyn ( known as rin ) was knowing what it was all like before it went to shit. her parents, david and sandra, were always the hopeful types during a time when that kind of cotton candy kind of thinking wasn’t immediately smothered from people.
after the fourth corps war, the shit that bartmoss pulled (some fucking genius that man turned out to be), and that blaze of glory dumbass silverhand, no one considered what it would be like when the people had to rebuild - enter david and sandra yoon.
street vendors by trade, a quaint little noodle shop had been passed down throughout the yoon family named 해피누들 ( happy noodle ) that quietly began to feed the neighbourhood of westbrook. pay what you want, take all that you can eat - shit business sense no matter where you were standing - but the yoons wanted to be part of the rebuilding … and to an extent they did, until the tyger claws came knockin’ with their kabuki rat-tail fuckery. they wanted a cut in exchange for their protection and when the yoons respectfully declined the claws respectfully set fire to happy noodle until it was turned to ash and rubble, just like every other fucking thing in night city.
to help support her family, rin started taking on small jobs throughout westbrook - knowing that the gangs were her meal ticket while also knowing that that meal was laced in rot and synthcoke was a hard pill to swallow but rin did it for her family, all the while plotting a way to stick it to the asshole that fucked with her parents.
eventually, on her 16th birthday, a strange package appeared on her doorstep - an ‘easy bake netrunner’ starter pack - and from there rin was playing in a whole new league. taking on the mantle of tokki, rin found that netrunning was a way to get more cred and fuck with more gangs than any of the other small time shrimp shit she was trying before. her parents never mentioned it to rin, not even when she upgraded her chrome or bought them a little apartment in a quieter part of westbrook but they know, they have to know.
tokki is now a thorn in the side of gangs and corpos alike - anything or anyone that rises up while pressing everyday people deeper into the dirt gets whats coming to them because of her rising talent. she has no remorse and shows no mercy because, where the fuck was any of that before this whole city went to shit?
*TOKKI! - main verse
tbd.
certain details are kept vague to allow for a fluid approach to the cb2077 timeline. tokki can be played in any timeline.
name : cindy moon ━ age : 28 ━ birthplace : manhattan, new york ━ occupation : superhero / journalist ━ pronouns : she/her
cindy moon's life was simple and secure. forced to attend a school field trip in an effort to gain extra credit for her failing studies - this would be the moment that cindy's life changed forever and stopped being her own.
having being bitten by the SAME SPIDER as peter parker, cindy's powers manifested quickly and gained the attention of ezekiel sims ; a man who promised cindy's parents that he would find a way to cure their daughter. the moons, grief stricken over the ' disease ' that had befallen their daughter, enlisted her under ezekiel's care to train and gain better control of her gifts.
ezekiel had warned cindy of the approaching dangers to the spider totem by a being named morlun, a predatory hunter that travelled the multiverse in search of any spider totems. as he realized the breadth of her power she was faced with a choice : remain and fight whilst putting herself and her family in danger or follow ezekiel to a bunker that would hide her existence from morlun. bereft, cindy left her family and lived in the bunker for a decade, all the while training her powers at ezekiels behest.
two years have passed since spider-man rescued her from her bunker, two years since she assumed the moniker ' SILK ' to try and take control of her life. integrating back into the world has proven difficult : when most of her formative years were spent in that bunker, it's easy to believe that she never left.
*CALL ME SILK! - marvel comics verse
serving as the primary verse for all marvel comic & earth-616 interactions, cindy has escaped the bunker two years ago and is navigating and adjusting to life outside and the powers that ruined her life. working at the fact channel as a crime reporter, cindy eventually takes on the superhero moniker of ' SILK' and, with the help of peter, learns more about her powers and herself. after her family disappeared sometime during her exile, cindy desperately begins a search that would lead her nowhere, literally.
*THE MOON SONG! - insomniac verse
following the canon of the spider-man video game, cindy is given to martin li by her parents in the hopes that he may find a cure for her " powers " after he claims that he is aware of a means to help her lead a normal life. his intention was to reverse engineer her powerset for his own gang and to find a possible weakness for spider-man. after attempts to bring her to his side fail, she is kept prisoner as experimentation continues only to escape after his temporary incarceration.
name : amora aesirdottir ━ age : ??? ━ birthplace : asgard ━ occupation : king's sorceress ( former ) / enchantress ━ pronouns : she/her
orphaned as a youth for unknown reasons, amora was scouted at a young age by karnilla, the queen of the norns and odin's royal sorceress, as being a girl of exceptional potential and urged odin to allow her to take the orphan amora on as her apprentice. prior to karnilla's apparent act of kindness and altruism, amora resided in an asgardian orphanage and lived several years in relative normalcy.
karnilla twisted this eventuality in her favour after a vision of amora's profound and chaotic potential struck her - she displaced amora's parents, turning them into trees in her nornwood and removed any memory of their existence ; such a thing was orchestrated at odin's behest, a way to try and harness the girl's potential so that it might be controlled through karnilla's tutelage.
through her studies, she was devoted to the allure of sorcery but displayed a willingness to use her other gifts, often seducing individuals in exchange for greater knowledge. seen as defiant and uncontrollable, amora was warned on several occasions that her nature would jeopardize her promised role as the royal sorceress once thor became king - despite these warnings, amora kept true to herself and gained unprecedented power.
odin and karnilla's bid to control amora's power inevitably fails. it is in their fear and inadequacy that they banish amora from asgard, hoping that this will remove amora's power and ultimately kill her but they were too late. already a powerful sorceress named the enchantress, amora finds a way to survive away from her homeland with her powers intact and thriving.
she is kept in the nothingness of exile for a time, stewing in her hatred for odin which only widens her thirst for supremacy. her need for power and the manipulation that it breeds is more than dominance and hides a deeper need that she believes only she can satisfy.
*AESIRDOTTIR! - marvel cinematic universe
during the incursion by the dark elf malekith, amora apparently shifted allegiances and grew close with the dark elf as he quested after the aether for the purpose of double-crossing him. after malekith's defeat with amora's help, she was brought before odin and thor to face judgement over her supposed wrongdoings and was banished from asgard after it was decided that her truth was a lie.
it was then that the truth of her upbringing was revealed by karnilla, the fact that her parents were taken to the nornwood so that amora was able to fulfill a prophecy that promised great power for the realm - until it was decided by odin that she was more of a threat than a pliable weapon.
cast into exile of nothingness and shadow, amora plotted her revenge until odin's death released her back to asgard just as surtur was ensuring its destruction. slipping unseen onto the refuge vessel before asgard's demise, amora witnessed the death of loki and supposed death of thor at the hands of thanos. vowing to track down the mad god, amora travelled through the universe to dismantle his hold on other planets as he was defeated on earth.
she is now found on new asgard as a pariah until a new calling in the form of an old friend reveals a dark threat : kang.
( this verse will have independent interpretations of the loki series )
*THE ENCHANTRESS! - marvel comics universe
this serves as the primary verse for all marvel comic / earth-616 interactions and will follow closely the intent that amora, the goddess of asgard and it's most powerful sorceress, travels the nine realms in her never ending quest for power, knowledge, supremacy and indulgence. note : in the comic verse asgard is still in tact and thriving.
