LORE24 ENTRY #45 – Supers Month #14 – Specialist Leopard

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

Ah, Specialist Leopard…what a delightful discovery.  I suppose my dear sister Gloria can be useful after all, when she’s not dallying with her boi-toy, anyway.  

Misha Kyle is the very epitome of a workaholic, going far above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to running her personal business, Latex Leopard Limited, perhaps to her own detriment, though myself and Maria are working on tempering this aspect of her nature; early indicators suggest our methods are having the desired effect.  I was certainly skeptical when Gloria suggested I look into her work; what need did I have of a fetishist making latex sex costumes, even if they were more advanced than the average catsuit?  In retrospect, I suppose my initial opinion was hasty and ill-informed; Misha has quickly become perhaps my most valuable team member here at Edgewater.  Without her, we would have only a fraction of the superpower-rated restraint systems we employ here to contain the most dangerous patients, after all.

After her initial demonstration, (what an interesting weekend that was), I immediately proposed a special contract for her, which she rather gratefully accepted.  Misha now works within Edgewater as ‘Specialist Leopard’ (she has no medical training to speak of perhaps aside from basic first aid, so I could not simply elevate her to the medical staff with such a title like I did Healslut, could I?), and she seems to enjoy the moniker, so it shall remain in effect.  If anything, being known as Specialist Leopard within Edgewater’s walls brings out some amusing quirks to Misha’s personality, namely displaying a more snarky attitude compared to her normally polite and professional demeanor.  This tends to come out most often when she sees other staff displaying a lack of respect to others when it is due, or if they are not properly focused on their tasks.  As expected, Doctors Bayne and del Vecchio are the most common recipients of Misha’s snark, given their own personality quirks and the amusing reception they gave Misha during the extended demonstration of her work.

As one of the rare individuals who possesses a resistance to succubus charms, Misha is even more valuable to myself, and the family, in general.  She is able to give her opinion on various matters without our subtle influences affecting her thoughts, and isn’t always trying to fall over herself to please us as most do.  This automatically places her above the rest of the staff, and this distinction has not gone unnoticed, much to Bayne and del Vecchio’s consternation.  Maria has become quite enamored with Misha as well, the pair hitting it off almost immediately during Misha’s first demonstration.  The fact that the pair have a special love of petplay further cemented their bond, and outside of her work here and at 3L, the two spend much of their time together; I do believe Maria is absolutely spoiling Misha when she’s in her pet persona, but as long as it doesn’t affect her work, then so be it.

I must admit that I am consistently impressed with Misha’s remarkable creativity and ability to adapt the designs of her latex clothing and restraints into something innovative and tailored to the needs of individual patients, even those who are not necessarily superpowered.  Though she seems not to be aware of her true nature, she does indeed possess a mystically enhanced creative spark; what was it Claire called her type?  Artificer?  The term seems a bit archaic these days, but there are certainly plenty other examples cropping up across Sentinel City and the world now, the most prominent currently being Mecha Musume.  From my observations, each of these ‘artificers’ possess a unique specialty.  Mecha Musume has her robotics and related technologies for example, and Misha has her latex creations, clothing, restraints, toys, etc.  

Further regarding artificers…though I have only observed Misha personally, I can make some suppositions as to their nature; Claire has been avoiding the family for some time now, so I have been unable to speak with her to confirm any of this, so the follow should be taken with some amount of skepticism.  Misha has demonstrated repeatedly to be able to envision methods of construction that would seem nigh impossible given what was previously established as possible in this world, and can make these new creations, or modify existing ones, in a fraction of the time one would expect.  She took one look at Miasma’s prototype containment suit that was developed in-house, for example, and had the improved version ready in less than a week, complete with the strength-enhancing modifications.  Though the reinforcing frame is of a decidedly technological nature, pure robotics, really, the fact that it was so closely interweaved with the latex creation seems to have brought such a thing into Misha’s wheelhouse.  She has admitted no special training in robotics and advanced technologies, and couldn’t exactly explain how her creation process in this regard worked; in her own words, “it just clicked.”

Within their ‘focus’, their chosen craft, I would surmise that artificers possess superhuman stamina, able to remain focused on the task at hand for extended periods without suffering ill effects of exhaustion, either physical or mental, and are able to work on them much faster than a normal person could (though I am not entirely familiar with the nature of Mecha Musume, Bobbi has clued me into some details as to the advancements of her armor and weaponry over time that would help support this theory; her own advancements should have taken months to develop, if not years, according to him).  As an example regarding Misha, I have specified new designs and modifications to existing systems and she has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to turn in exactly what I requested, overnight in many cases, while managing her company’s normal operations, and seems to suffering none of the ill effects one would expect of being severely overworked.  A normal person simply could not keep up with the stress, but she handles it almost effortlessly.

Even if my suppositions are correct, I feel I must still intervene on Misha’s behalf.  Even if she is possessed of superhuman ability, I would be remiss in my duties as a medical doctor if I permitted her to continue indulging the obsession with her work without proper breaks.  I believe that I will begin making plans for her to have a series of mandatory vacations, perhaps here inside of Edgewater or another location held by my family, for a period that shall not be less than one week at a time, more if I feel she has demonstrated a higher than normal amount of work during the preceding period.  If Maria has anything to say against the idea, then I have absolutely no qualms about having her join Misha in enjoying the same comforts and relaxation; we do have suites for couples, after all, as the recent incident with Nurse Winters and Catherine Ramos demonstrated.  It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve intervened on one another’s romantic affairs, and I am certain it will not be the last.  What are sisters for, after all, if not to keep one another in line?

 

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #44 – Supers Month #13 – Miasma

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

Truly a most unique case, Nurse Miasma, perhaps the most drastic physical change in a person I have witnessed to date following the Azure Cherry Blossom Front event that spread ‘superpowers’ to humanity.  Unlike many of my patients, I was actually there to witness her transformation as it occurred, and thankfully managed to save her life by having some early prototypes for superpowered containment online and ready for testing.  At the time of her initial entry into Edgewater, ‘Miasma’ was suffering from a severe case of dissociation, including amnesia, depersonalization, and dissociative identity disorder.  She still does not remember her name, nor am I able to find any clues as to her identity.  As she stated, she was ‘coming apart’, and it wasn’t long before she actually did, her body transforming into a living gas cloud in the middle of one of our sessions when she was at her most manic.  Her ability to keep herself in a cohesive form was severely limited at the time, so we had to contain her within an air-tight isolation cell and devise methods to communicate with her.

Through some rather novel methods, myself and Doctors Bayne and Del Vecchio were able to create an air tight pressure suit that Miasma could manipulate, mostly composed of special latex, that was fitted with a miniature version of the device we had developed for communication.  This allowed her mobility without fear of complete dissipation of her form and consciousness, and seemed to help bolster her sense of self to the point that she rather quickly learned to not only maintain her gaseous form more easily, but learned that she could manipulate her very essence, creating larger gas clouds and changing their makeup to create multiple effects, including emotion manipulation, incapacitation effects, and even physically destructive effects, such as a corrosive acid cloud.

As she progressed mentally, becoming more aware of herself, though still lacking memories of her past, I made the decision to give her purpose within Edgewater.  Nurse Miasma is something of a warden within our special wing, patrolling its halls to keep an eye on the various patients within, while she constantly emits a low-yield incapacitating gas that fills the airtight halls, ensuring that any escapees or other unauthorized persons are quickly captured.  She is even able to affect me and my sisters with her essence, thus the reason all other staff must wear proper gas masks inside the special wing when on duty.  Since Specialist Leopard came aboard with us, she has been able to enhance Miasma’s pressure suit, reinforcing the latex to be much less susceptible to damage while introducing a powered frame within to greatly enhance Miasma’s physical strength and resilience in the event of a superpowered escape attempt.

I will admit, though, that I am somewhat wary of Miasma.  Though we continue our therapy sessions multiple times each week, I keep her under constant surveillance and am on the lookout for any sudden changes in behavior.  Her mental state is becoming harder to keep track of, even for me; I dare say that she is becoming more alien by the day.  I’m not even certain my succubus charms even work on her anymore, though she still remains loyal thus far.  Should she decide to go rogue, however, there are methods in place that should deal with her powers, though I cannot say what effect they may have on her physically or mentally if the more extreme options must be implemented.  

 

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #43 – Supers Month #12 – Anita Winters

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

What can I say about Ms. Winters?  She has her uses, certainly, as limited as they are; everyone in a position such as myself has need of dumb muscle from time to time, and she certainly fills this niche.  I suppose I was fortunate enough to ensnare her into Edgewater’s web before she could get herself into real trouble after that floundering career as a MMA fighter.  I would hesitate to call her preferred fighting style a style, however; she could be compared to a rampaging rhino flying headlong at her target, absorbing punishment until she finally connects with a sufficiently strong blow or actually manages to land a submission hold.

For the record, Ms. Winters had been accused of massive steroid abuse following the event which gifted humanity with superpowers, due to the very noticeable increase in her muscle mass, though she insisted, and tests would prove, this was not the case.  Though she would be quite the challenging combatant in the women’s league, after a few bouts against one Catherine Ramos in particular, whose style was A) an actual fighting style, and B) was diametrically opposed to Ms. Winters’ “style” by actually using her brain and agility, Ms. Winters would seek ‘greater challenges’ by fighting in the men’s league.  She would prove herself quite a bit more capable here, quickly rising through the ranks and taking the top spot, even taking on the moniker of ‘Emasculator’ for her deeds.

This of course would lead to her further downfall, primarily because of Ms. Winters’ rather distasteful belief in the modern day, highly toxic version of feminism; the less said about that particular area the better.  Truly the cognitive dissonance on display with the modern world is staggering; were it possible, I would insist upon therapy and treatment for much of the current generation of humanity, but alas, I am but one humble succubus and there are much larger issues I must contend with.  She had her following that praised her, had the glory of defeating male after male in one on one combat, brutally so in many cases, but she still struggled with (and would rarely accept challenges from) female opponents, even her proclaimed nemesis, the aforementioned Ms. Ramos.  A curious trait, one which I certainly did not miss when I researched her following her arrest for assaulting several people, in public, in a fit of rage over a disagreement about the nature of her successes.  Making use of some of my family’s influence, I made certain that she was brought to Edgewater for a mental evaluation, not that it took an especially large push to have this done given her violent outbursts and obvious difficulties interacting with people.

During Ms. Winters’ initial observation period, I learned more of the nature of her powers, which I’m still not entirely sure she recognizes she even has; she is rather dense, to put it simply.  She possesses a most unique ability to actually emasculate men simply by virtue of being engaged in combat with them, physically weakening them in a nigh imperceptible manner over time.  The longer she faces them in combat, the weaker they become, though I have yet to find a single test subject that realized this until it is far too late for it to matter; they may as well have been children against Ms. Winters.  This ability was certainly useful, given the direction I am taking Edgewater, even if a higher ratio of superpowers seem to be possessed by females.  Perhaps it is simply that the men haven’t caught up yet; they are generally slower on the uptake in most matters, after all.

Ms. Winters is currently under my employ as a nurse in the special wing of Edgewater.  She is quite useful in restraining patients, especially the growing number of male patients, in particular the one known as Rampage, and now that I’ve been helping her overcome her less desirable attitudes and delusions, she has become mostly tolerable (though I find that her personal hygiene to still be insufficient; she does tend to work out far too much and either doesn’t realize or doesn’t care that she is not the only person in the vicinity).  She is still a blunt instrument, certainly, but a slightly more elegantly crafted one.  Like any good pet, however, she is capable of learning her place through proper incentives and punishments.  She is also quite useful in testing Specialist Leopard’s newest designs for high-security restraints, and I was personally quite amused by her behavior surrounding the illegal fight that occurred between her and Catherine Ramos in the hospital’s employee gym, as well as the subsequent time the pair spent together inside an isolation cell.  That cooled her fire for a time, though I am certain she’ll require further punishments going forward, and I am only too eager to oblige her.  Her continuing education and development shall be most amusing indeed.

 

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #42 – Supers Month #11 – The Edgewater Institute

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

There is nothing quite like being the ruler of one’s own domain, especially when said domain is filled with some many interesting people and deeply amusing playthings.  I do not strictly rule over Edgewater as a matter of my own pleasures, though that is certainly an aspect of it; no it is a labor of love, one for which I am uniquely suited.  Sentinel City has a very dangerous problem after all; all of those unhinged and mentally unwell superpowered individuals roaming around the city unchecked simply cannot be left to their own devices, can they?  There must be some kind of order, some kind of control mechanism in place to keep these types in check.  This city needed a place where those of unsound mind could be treated properly, and that could handle the unique requirements of containing the varied types of powers growing amongst the populace.  And if it must be done, why then should it not be me to oversee it?  Who else if not me?  They say that if you love your work, it’s not really work; for the most part, this has held true for me in this endeavor, though a few particular individuals have certainly tried my patience.

I have brought the Edgewater Institute into a new age these past few months; before the coming of superpowers, it was of course a most prestigious mental health institution, a place where minds could be healed and studied, a respected place.  Now it is so much more.  I have overseen its expansion into something on an entirely new scale, a facility that boasts the most advanced patient, or prisoner, as some are, restraint, containment, and monitoring systems not only in Sentinel City, but the entire country, perhaps the world.  I don’t take sole credit for this feat; how could I when I simply had the vision to dream, and the willpower to see it done?  No, Edgewater is built upon the backs of many, and it is through the many uniquely talented people I have working for me that this place continues to advance and surpass any challenges it has faced, that its patients are treated in the most appropriate manner as their unique situations require.

Are my methods unorthodox?  Well, of course they are, by humanity’s standards, anyway.  Humanity has always required special treatment, and it has yet to evolve beyond certain limitations inherent in their very genetics.  Having once been human myself, I can understand these limitations, and given my greater insights into their very basest of desires, I am certainly qualified to treat their many issues as I have laid out within the operational guidelines of Edgewater.  Like my own succubus nature, humans are sexually charged creatures, and indeed this must be understood.  They are also dangerous, short-sighted, and prone to acting on their baser desires.  Do I have a biased opinion on their nature?  Perhaps; my sisters and I have certainly survived our share of trials, many over the centuries, in fact.  And yet we have survived, even thrived amongst them, blending in and finding our particular niche among them.

This is perhaps why I am uniquely suited to control a facility such as Edgewater.  Though I certainly hold no love for certain groups and individuals, many of them associated with the blindly faithful religious types, I am absolutely dedicated to making certain that those I can are helped to the absolute fullest of my ability.  We share this world with the humans, and my kind are far fewer in number than they.  Though we are certainly more powerful, it is only recently that humanity has begun to receive powers that place them upon the same level, if not surpassing it.  So, its absolutely necessary for the continued stability of society that I do what I do.  As the Tempests have done for centuries, I too shall shape the world around me.  In this new age, I have chosen to do so using the most powerful of tools at my disposal.  In the end, regardless of whatever powers they may possess, I can see to it that whatever inherent mental instabilities they have are treated, by whatever means I deem necessary to obtain the most favorable outcome.  I will see these poor, unfortunate souls properly treated, and if they happen to become more loyal and obedient afterward, then I can hardly call that a negative outcome, can I?  What are humans if not pets and playthings to a Tempest, after all?

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #41 – Supers Month #10 – Kitsune

 

From the files of Cyber Seer…

 

Villainous? Name

Kitsune

 

Real Name

Unknown

 

Description

Oh baby, now we’re talking super-sexy villains!  Sure, sure, she’s totally got the dark and mysterious thing going on, but DAMN, she’s also rocking that latex like a champ!  Total body coverage (and yeah, she’s got a VERY toned body), skin tight, shiny, black with gray highlights, what more could you ask for?  Well, how about NINE freakin’ tails, gray tips!  And like, they move just like real tails!  Like, wow!  She’s wearing one of those fox masks too, not like the ones Dollface uses, though, this one is more classic Japanese.  But…I guess it’s not Japanese?  Cause she’s like, not from this world, right?  So like, what would you call it?  Well, I’ll just call it SEXY.  She’s even got a utility belt filled with all kinds of tricks!  

Like, I’d love to have more here about her looks, and I could totally just spend a few pages on some kinky fantasies that just went through my head, but I’ll restrain myself for now (see, I totally have self control!  Sometimes!)  For all we know, she’s actually a real kitsune beneath all that rubber!  She didn’t even show us her hair, so like, who knows?  

But, we know she likes to play games, and when she speaks, she’s like, a mimic or something?  She speaks in riddles and rhymes and by like, using like magical audio clips or something.  Like, illusion magic is what it’s classified as too, I guess?  From what everyone’s experienced, she like, never talks in her own voice; it’s always like snippets of speech pulled from the radio or TV and junk.  

But like, what game is she really playing?  She totally released me after GB’s awesome doming of Dollface so I could wreck the system, and like, I’m totally wondering about that.  So like, how many angles is this foxy fox playing?  There’s just so much we don’t know about her, like, total wildcard territory!

 

Known Lairs and Hangouts

Well, dudes, she was living with Dollface a while, but like, no clues where she went when she stepped through that portal.  Black Cat says the magic energies were totally degraded and untraceable by the time she managed to get back to actually try and track it down.  Total bummer, but what can we do?  

Wait for our next chance, duh!  Then jump on it and try not to hump the sexy rubber kitsune!

 

Why She’s Bad news…Maybe?

So like, Kitsune has some serious magical talents according to our arcanely-inclined kitty.  And she can fight too; I thought Pinkie the Knife was pulling off the sick ninja stuff, but sounds like Kitsune has her jutsus up to a whole other level!  Like, anime protagonist kinda stuff!  Or I guess anime villain kinda levels, but you know what I mean, right?  Hot, villainous anime ninjas are like, awesome.  Oh, oh, and she can totally plan like, super far ahead, and come up with sneaky traps, too!  I think we can all totally agree on that!

So, this is what Black Cat told us about her encounter with Kitsune once things had settled down:

“I underestimated Kitsune, and overestimated my own abilities.  Kitsune is a master illusionist, maybe more like a grandmaster; she created an entire mountaintop shrine area for our battlefield atop that roof, had the rooftop laced with magical traps, split herself into nine parts, and had already prepped specialized magic just to deal with me.  She thinks multiple steps ahead; give her time to prep, and she’s beyond dangerous.  The fact that she could maintain such a powerful illusion, track her wards, and split herself nine ways at once is absolutely astounding.  I can count on one hand the number of people I know who could accomplish something like that and have most of my fingers left over.

The trap she triggered that generated this ensorcelled latex is especially troubling.  It’s been almost a month since then in the material world, and even within a special time-dilation chamber that gave me a lot longer, I’ve only just managed to reverse its magic-sealing effects, though I’ve still not managed to remove it from me.  This is some insanely powerful curse magic at work here, and I’m not entirely certain if Kitsune is responsible for it or not; something about it seems different.  The magical signatures were definitely from the same source as Kitsune’s, but were warped.  I won’t get into the specifics, it’d take too long to explain.  I’ll just say that it looks like there’s another powerful being involved here working with Kitsune.  I didn’t have time to analyze her outfit, but I’m wondering if perhaps she’s in a similar situation?  Perhaps, given that she sabotaged Dollface’s plans here to some extent, she’s not working of her own free will?  Just a possibility; I have no proof of that.

And the cuffs and collar she fitted me with?  I can’t remove those either, though with the help of my order, I’ve managed to reverse their effects.  Instead of draining my mana, they are now capable of boosting my spellcasting to some extent.  Handy, yeah, but I’m not entirely fond of them.  Still, I can’t but wonder if perhaps Kitsune thought ahead this far, assumed we would defeat Dollface, and gave these to me knowing that I could eventually reverse their effect for a future advantage?  Mysteries wrapped in enigmas seem to be the order of the day when it comes to Kitsune and whoever she’s working for.”

So there you have it, straight from Black Cat’s lips.  Like, wow, dudes, Kitsune really is something else, isn’t she?  That’s like, totally mind blowing!

 

Known Accomplices

Well, there’s Dollface of course, but at least we know where she is these days.  Other than that, no clues, dudes.  Guess I’ll just like, call it a mysterious otherworldly entity or something.  Wonder if they’re like, into latex and stuff too?

 

Comments

Mecha Musume – In Japanese folklore, the kitsune are known as trickster spirits and shapeshifters, bewitching humans for their own purposes.  However, there are several tales in which the kitsune are loyal friends, perhaps even guardians or lovers, even messengers of the gods.  Regardless of true purpose, the number of tails they possess indicate their power; a nine-tailed kitsune is amongst the oldest and wisest, and by extension, the most crafty and dangerous.  Our Kitsune certainly seems to fit the bill here, does she not?

You seem to be awfully taken with Kitsune, Cyber Seer.  Is that drool I see on your keyboard?

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Like…maybe?  She’s totally hawt though, right?  Course, it might just be my latex fetish coming out.  Like, I can’t get what she dressed Black Cat in out of my head, you know?  Ohhhh, just thinking about it gets me all squirmy!

—-Reply from Mecha Musume:  Calm.  Down.

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  Oh, but I just can’t stop!  Like, those cute paws and the way she was acting!  Like, wowza, totally cute cute cute!!!  Petplay fetish online!  MEOW!

——–Reply from Mecha Musume:  Apologies, everyone.  Unfortunately I cannot moderate comments here, but I am now implementing some offline moderation procedures.  

———-Reply from Cyber Seer:  Moderate me harder, mistress!  Yes, I’m such a bad girl!

————Reply from Mecha Musume:  In all seriousness, I fear we may need much more drastic steps.  If memory serves the villains even commented on your behavior and near-constant state of arousal.  When the bad guys are making such comments, all is not well, Cyber Seer.  Perhaps we should look into meditation?

————–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Like, meditation is totally BORING!  Now, sexy meditation, with ropes or chains or sensory deprivation hoods and all kinds of other hot bondagey stuff?  THAT sounds fun!

—————-Reply from Mecha Musume:  😐

 

Pink Pussy – Don’t underestimate this kitsune chica!  She’s crafty and knows how to slip in pretty much anywhere.  Even when I was under Dollface’s control, I still remember some of the tricks Kitsune showed me for getting inside places.  I don’t trust her one lick!  I don’t care if she’s working for someone else, she helped ruin my reputation, si?  And that’s something I won’t forgive or forget!  I’ll pay her back for all that humiliation she helped dump on me!

Also, Cyber Seer, mi amiga, no offense or anything, but you need help.  You’re hornier than every teenager I’ve ever known!  Hell, you’re hornier than me after a long night of cleaning up the streets!

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Will you help me with that, PP?  I could totally go for a sexy catgirl keeping me in line!

—-Reply from Pink Pussy:  Sure, I’ll help 😉  I’ll start you on the Pink Pussy Power Plan!  Daily workouts, starting off with a five-mile run, strength training, unarmed combat training, the works!  You’ll be too tired to be horny!

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  :O  On second thought, I’m totally booked up…online obligations and all that.

——Reply from Mecha Musume:  Tell me more about this plan, Pussy.  I like where this is going.

——–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Like, no.  Totally not interested.  I’m a nerd, yeah?  Sunlight and physical stuff are like, bad for me and junk.  Dark sex dungeons I can handle, but this just sounds like torture!

———-Reply from Pink Pussy:  My kinda torture!  We’ll have you feeling the burn and building muscle and fighting like me in no time!

————Reply from Mecha Musume:  This is sounding better and better.  We shall have to discuss this in person, Pussy.  

————–Reply from Cyber Seer:  >:(  Not cool dudes!  Not cool at all!

 

Gun Bunny – Kitsune is planning something else, no question about it.  I could buy that she maybe just didn’t like Dollface, except for what she did to help Shadow Lynx when she showed up.  For a minute there, I thought she was going to succeed, until the lights came on, anyway and she was dazzled.  Kitsune was in control of that fight, she had a purpose, and it wasn’t aiding Dollface.

Also, I guess we know what to get Cyber Seer for Christmas…

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Oh, oh, oh, what is it?  Is it latex?  Latex kitty outfit maybe?  😀 😀 😀

—-Reply from Gun Bunny:  A chastity belt.

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  🙁 🙁 🙁  Totally not cool!  Although…huh…maybe the more I think about it that could be kinda hot…

——–Reply from Mecha Musume:  It seems we can agree on this, Gun Bunny!  Perhaps there will be enough material left from my latest upgrades to craft one for her that will not be so easily removed until she has learned some discipline!  

———-Reply from Cyber Seer:  Seriously, babe?  Why you gotta do that to little ol’ me?  That’s like, totally cruel and unusual!

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #40 – Supers Month #9 – The Clean Sweep Gang

 

From the files of Cyber Seer…

 

Villainous Names

Little Suzie

Pinkie the Knife

 

Real Name

Suzanne Brookshire

Glinda Eskridge

 

Description

Okay, like, so, I don’t want to turn this into a freaking massive post or anything, so like, I’m mainly focusing on the lieutenants or whatever you want to call them for the gang.  Like, we have over thirty maids on record now, but most of those are just acting as muscle.  It’s the special ones that give me bad vibes, yeah?  

So, Little Suzie…this one totally creeps me out.  Like, seriously, total psycho loli vibes off this one.  So like, she looks like a little girl, all cute with the blond hair, girlish pigtails and sweet mile, right?  But then she flips that psycho switch and starts cussin’ like a sailor with that messed up smile on her face and freaks me out.  She wields SMGs like nobody’s business, and packs enough grenades around to level a city block, and she doesn’t care who she hits with them.  She’s like, in her mid-twenties, but somehow she’s had a total body makeover kinda thing to look like that, and someone buried her records deep.  From what I could find, she’s got training with demolitions and explosives, maybe even former military or special ops judging by how she handles an MP5.  Did I mention this bitch is a nutjob?  Cause she totally is.

Update from Gun Bunny:  Little Suzie is psychotic without a doubt.  Be very careful around her; she’s unpredictable and violent, and doesn’t care who she hurts as long as she’s having a good time.  According to my source in the SCPD, somehow she’s already back out on the street.  There had to be some dirty deals behind the scenes; officially she was released due to being an abused minor.  I think she enjoys toying with people, and she’s certainly sadistic; she’s had multiple instances of taking out people’s knees to make them suffer more while she plays with them.

And as for Pinkie the Knife…I guess the one in the gas mask is the less creepy of the pair?  Maybe?  I mean, I totally get the attraction to gas masks and stuff, I like them myself (don’t get me started on rebreather bags and total rubber encasement…OMG!), and yeah, the pink pigtails are cute and all, but this chick is like, crazy on a totally different level from Little Suzie.  Unlike most of the rest of the gang, she prefers blades (like, who woulda guessed with a name like that, amiright?), and packs around a few dozen of them on her person.  And like, she moves like a ninja, hopping around and climbing walls and dodging like crazy!  And she knows kung-fu, too!  She totally kicked my ass around the jewelry store like nobody’s business!  Total ninja maid here!  I even downloaded some kung-fu-how-to of my own, and she totally adapted super quick!

Update from Gun Bunny:  Pinkie is not crazy on the same level as Suzie, but she’s definitely got issues.  She’s out on bail too, and in the wind.  I’d assume she’s linking back up with the rest of the gang.  We should probably assume they’re going to make plans on breaking their boss out of Edgewater and make plans of our own to counter them.

Update from Pink Pussy:  Eh, I don’t think we have anything to worry about.  Friend of mine has actually been inside Edgewater, saw some of their operation first hand.  There’s more to that place than meets the eye for sure!  

 

Known Lairs and Hangouts

Like, seriously, how have we not tracked this gang down yet?  They have to have a warehouse or something to store all that firepower, right?

Update from Gun Bunny:  My thoughts?  They’re maids; they’re very good at cleaning up evidence.  And they’re very loyal to their boss for whatever reason, and none who are still in custody are talking.

 

Why They’re Bad news 

So like, I’m not sure that these two have superpowers like in the standard definition of the word, but like, I think they might just be super-talented.  They can certainly hide weapons all over them, though, so maybe they do?

Anyway, Little Suzie is a little bundle of psycho-loli energy who loves guns and explosions.  She’s the one who blew the vault at the jewelry store, and probably is the one training up all the other maids on how to use their guns.  She’s unpredictable and can apparently play the sweet and innocent little girl when she needs to, so she’s manipulative as hell.  

Pinkie the Knife likes…well, knives, like lots of them.  And she keeps them sharp, too, like super-sharp.  She seemed pretty confident that she could totally cut through Musume’s armor, and maybe she could?  She didn’t have a chance to find out, thankfully, but like, what if, ya know?  Expect her to always have another knife ready to go, and she totally knows how to fight without them, too.  Like, I’d believe she was totally a ninja for reals.  Without seeing more of what she can do, though, just expect anything!

 

Known (And Unknown!) Accomplices

Clean Sweep, duh.  She’s like, the boss, after all.  And the rest of the gang, too.  Like, I should probably post the list here sooner or later, or something.

The Mysterious Arms Dealer!  Where do they get all those wonderful toys?  Inquiring minds totally want to know!

 

Comments

Mecha Musume – These two proved formidable enough against myself and Cyber Seer on our first outing, so it would certainly be wise not to underestimate them.  My armor was disabled at the time, thanks to Suzie’s handling of that vault door, so perhaps Pinkie could have found a way through with her blades.  Anything is possible in the world now.  Assume nothing until we have proof otherwise, I would say.

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Totally great advice, babe!  

 

Pink Pussy – I’ve tangled with these chicas a few times before, in the early days.  Suzie creeps me out the most, and she’s definitely not afraid to target civilians.  Keep your eyes open when that lunatica is around!  I can deal with Pinkie though; she’s good, but she’s not Pink Pussy good!  

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Mmm, and just how good is Pink Pussy?  I’ve never had it before…oh wait, there I go again, getting all hot and bothered thinking of my favorite sexy kitty.

—-Reply from Pink Pussy:  😀  Maybe we can find some time to talk in private, huh?  Also, just FYI, I know someone who does self-defense training, if you’d want to take a few lessons?  Not saying anything, but just saying, you know, you’ve got this tendency to get a little overwhelmed out there.

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  Is it you?  Would you train me?  I would totally love to learn how to fight with you!  Like, just thinking about getting that close, and rubbing together, and getting all sweaty and pinned into some sexy positions in between your thighs…OMG, I’m getting so hawt right now!

——–Reply from Pink Pussy:  Oh, that’s sweet, CS, but you need to work up to my level 😉  My friend, though, she’s pretty hot in her own right.  You might like her; I’ll send you her info, ‘kay?  Then maybe we can see if you can handle this pussy 😉  <3

———-Reply from Cyber Seer:  Mmmm…handling that pussy…new life goal unlocked!

 

Gun Bunny – I get the impression that Little Suzie is something of a loose cannon.  Many of her fellow maids have admitted to being afraid of her during police interviews, and are willing to do whatever she asks as long as it keeps her attention away from them.  The generally consensus on Pinkie is that she’s good at what she does, but there is some question of her devotion to the cause.  Based on the SCPD’s analysis, it seems like she’s probably bored and looking for thrills.  Maybe there’s something there we could use if the chance presents itself.

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Somehow I’m totally not shocked that even her allies are afraid of Suzie.  Good to know that we might be able to talk some sense into Pinkie, though; that’s something at least!

 

LORE24 ENTRY #39 – Supers Month #8 – Clean Sweep

 

From the files of Cyber Seer…

 

Villainous Name

Clean Sweep

 

Real Name

Mariska Hathaway

 

Description

Wow, almost didn’t have a chance to get a good look at her!  I was totally taped up and at her mercy before I could blink, ya know?  Like, I’d never been mummified that good before!  And the way she was choking me while holding me hostage totally got my juices flowing too!  OMG, it was so hawt!  Oh, right, what does she look like, though?  Well, she’s a total hottie with that uniform she’s almost wearing, right?  Dark hair, amber eyes, and ‘attractive’ would be putting it mildly; she’s got some amazing…tracts of land.  Like, does anyone else wonder how she can like, move that fast without fallout out of it?  (Note from PP:  double-sided tape might be a thing here.) Or how she can run in those heels?  Ohmygawd!  Right, right, what does she look like, though?  Well, thanks to MM’s data, we have one sexy maid with a seriously bad attitude!  Lotsa boobage on display in that totally skimpy maid uniform, big bows, lacy frills all around, sexy lacy garters and fishnets over some amazing legs (not as nice as yours, GB!), and some flashy red high heels.  Sounds like she’s from New York Jersey, maybe?  Anyone else gettin’ those kinda vibes?  Like maybe she’s mafia or something?

Update From Gun Bunny:  “SCPD records indicate she is a native of New Jersey and does indeed have ties to other criminal operations on the east coast, has a list a mile long of minor offenses, nothing concrete as far as convictions on more serious issues. As of now, we still don’t know where she’s getting all the heavy weapons.  There must be another source we’ve not managed to track down.”

 

Known Lairs and Hangouts

So like, does anyone know where she hangs out when she’s not doing B&E and theft and property destruction and stuff?  You’d totally think it’d be easy to find a few dozen maids hanging out with the hardware these chicks pack, right?  I totally would, anyway.  Like, they gotta have a place to store that arsenal.  Seriously, nobody got a clue?  

She’s locked up in the Edgewater Institute for now.  Seriously, they must have some amazing tech in there to hold someone like that!  Like, has anyone ever been inside there?  I’m totally curious what they’ve got in there!

 

Why She’s Bad news 

Super-speed, dudes!  Like, wow, can she move!  Even Mecha Musume’s sensors couldn’t keep track of her!  Best she got was something like an incoming missile warning, but by then it was already too late to react.  And she hits like a Mack truck!  Totally sent MM flying with just a steel pipe!  Like, wowza!  According to MM’s armor, she can hit with the same force as a missile, and could actually do some major damage!  And like, she’s super-skilled with tape, too as I can fully attest (with detailed, moment-by-moment records of exactly how I was feeling at the time), and probably other restraints if given the chance.  Like, maybe I can get in with Edgewater somehow for some more tests?  Would be a good idea I think.  Hey, maybe I could like, reach out to the director of that place?  Wow, she looks hawt…

Update from Mecha Musume:  In all seriousness, Clean Sweep’s speed cannot, under any circumstances, be dismissed.  She can be in one place, then somewhere else in the blink of an eye, and can even bring people with her.  I still haven’t managed to calibrate my sensors in a way that can track objects moving at that speed.  Were it not for Black Cat’s timely arrival, I do not think we would have made it out of the situation unscathed.  I also have my doubts that Black Cat could have even managed to stop her if Clean Sweep had been aware of her presence.  Based upon what we witnessed, I can say with a high degree of certainty that Clean Sweep is possessed of a remarkable metabolism, but must still consume a high volume of oxygen when she uses her powers.  She almost immediately used up all the remaining air in that force cage Black Cat made trying to escape it, blurring as she did.  Perhaps she can move so fast as to resonate her body in a way that she can pass through physical matter?

Update from Gun Bunny:  Given that she can move fast enough that none of us can keep track of her, I don’t think Clean Sweep’s motivations are pure greed.  She seems to have a sadistic side to her, given how she treated Cyber Seer and was toying with Mecha Musume while her girls did the heavy lifting.  Her criminal records from New Jersey include at least two assaults, though she has been implicated in many more that couldn’t be confirmed.  

 

Known Accomplices

She’s got a whole gang backing her, dudes!  Like, how many have there been now?  A couple dozen at least!  And she’s got some special one too, like more talented or whatever, like that Little Suzie chick and that creepy pink-haired one with the knives and the gas mask.  Like, totally uncool vibes coming off them, no girl boners here.

Update from Mecha Musume:  She goes by Pinkie the Knife, btw.

And then there’s whoever she’s getting the guns and explosives from.  Like, I looked into some records and stuff (no, I totally didn’t hack any federal databases or anything!  That would be bad and wrong and I’m totally a good girl!), and like, there’s nothing on that load of guns and stuff reclaimed from those robberies.  Guessing that a lot of them came from overseas somewhere?  Totally should try to track down where these are coming from!

 

Comments

Mecha Musume – The fact that you were getting excited by her threatening to slice your head off with a garotte is troubling.

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  I’m a very horny girl, babe.  What can I say?  It was a heat of the moment thing!!  Totally won’t happen again.  Probably.  Maybe.  Maybe not…

—-Reply from Mecha Musume:  It had better not!  

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  …But, like, what if it does?  I mean, you know how hot some of these baddies are, right?  Like, especially this one.  Total dommy maid fantasy stuff going on here!

——–Reply from Mecha Musume:  Do you need to speak with Mecha Mistress regarding this matter?

———-Reply from Cyber Seer:  Yes please!  <3 <3 <3

 

Pink Pussy – Wow…I get a little excited when I do my crime fighting thing, but you’re on a whole new level, Cyber Seer.  So thirsty…

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Such is the burden I must bear as an avatar of the internet!  it’s for porn, you know?  Like, totally.  They even wrote a song about it.  By the way, have you seen some of the art of you out there?  I’m getting all hot just thinking about it!

—-Reply from Pink Pussy:  Si, chica!  I get it, absolutely!  Also…uh, you mentioned more details about the taping thing?  

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  I totally did, and it is soooo hot!  Like, sent you a link, babe 😉

 

Gun Bunny – I haven’t faced her myself since she’s safely tucked away in Edgewater, but I don’t even think my speed could keep up with her.  She could easily outrun bullets at that speed, perhaps even have all of us in a bind before we knew it.  Anyone have any suggestions on how we could deal with someone like her without Black Cat’s magic?

–Reply from Mecha Musume:  Perhaps we would need to focus on roundabout ways of dealing with her.  At least based upon Black Cat’s handling of the situation, if Clean Sweep cannot perceive the threat, then perhaps even she cannot react to them.  I am considering a reactive power surge through my armor as an option; the moment she makes contact, a stunning blast would trigger, basically.  Traps of some kind to slow her or pin her in place would be an option as well.

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  *raises hand*  I volunteer for testing any and all traps, the stickier the better.

—-Reply from Gun Bunny:  Yeah, I agree with your line of thought, Musume.  I’ll see if I can come up with any bright ideas on my end too.  

 

LORE24 ENTRY #38 – Supers Month #7 – Dollface

 

From the files of Cyber Seer…

 

Villainous Name

Dollface

 

Real Name

Unknown (Probably some stuffy British name or something, based totally on that holier-than-though posh accent of hers.)

 

Description

Like, oh my god, this lady is totally into the whole doll fetish thing!  Like, super seriously, you know?  Those masks of hers are totally bad news!  Creepy and porcelain-looking and stuff!  Then there’s that stuffy old Victorian dress thingy she wears, sitting on her throne and having all those creepy dolls waiting on her, totally loyal pets, like some kind of modern queen or something.  You know, I can totally understand why she’d like that kind of thing and could like, you know, maybe get into the whole ‘doll-like plaything’ angle, but only if, like, it was on my terms, you know?  Not like mind control and stuff, that’s just not cool.  

 

Known Lairs and Hangouts

The Dollhouse – It’s totally just a warehouse with some fancy interior, you know?  Like, nothing that special.  Especially since Black Cat gave it a new sunroof and I kinda totally fried all the electronics in there.  Think she’ll hold that against us?  I totally bet she does.  If she ever wakes up, anyway…

Edgewater Institute – Dollface is currently being held here for medical care and possible treatment.  They’re like, the only place in the city that can restrain supers right now, and like, oh my god, I can only imagine how they do it!  Like, seriously, they’re security is next-level, you know?  Like, I can’t even break through the firewall; whoever their IT is, they’re GOOD, like super-good, ME kinda good, you know?  

Update from Gun Bunny:  My sources inside SCPD have confirmed that Dollface is still in a coma at this time.  She is in the intensive care unit currently, and so far has shown no signs of waking up.  Brain activity is a mess, but that’s about all we’ve managed to get.  It seems the facility’s director, Jennifer Tempest, is VERY big on patient rights and protection.  Will let you know more if I get anything else.

 

Why She’s Bad news 

Those doll masks, dude!  Totally jacked up!  Like, those things are gnarly in the worst way!  Like, they’ve got some seriously intense tech going on there.  It’s a lot of what Pink Pussy was stealing and stuff, but with like, so much more beneath the hood!  I couldn’t like, get a full tech-spec on them before I burned everything down, but these things are like, wet-dream territory for the globalist nut-jobs trying to control the world, you know?  Not only can they totally control your mind, but they buff you up, too!  Like enhanced strength, toughness, all that kind of thing!  She made them out of like titanium and carbon composites, and that’s why even Musume had trouble busting them up.  But the way she like, made those special masks just for us is kinda creepy?  Or maybe its more like, the masks could shape themselves to us somehow, like, you know, customization based on the target or whatever?  And just how many of these things could she pump out if she had a bigger operation?  There were like, two dozen dolls there already!  What was this chick planning?  Like, world domination?  A kinky dollhouse kind of kingdom?  

Good news is that my brain is like, not totally compatible with her tech, thankfully, so she couldn’t get me to do the whole loyal doll thing, buuuuuut it totally messed with my head, like splitting headaches and jacked up senses and junk.  Not that I could, like, see or hear anything besides her anyway; totall sensory deprivation helmet.  Maybe I could’ve done more at that point, but she totally had me strapped down and at her mercy and stuff, so great save there, Gun Bunny!  Also, your legs…OMG, your legs!  Would totally let you crush me with those someday if you wanted!  Walk all over me with those heels of yours…mmmm…

Oh, oh, more about Dollface!  Like, her control mechanism was totally wireless tech, like a suped-up Bluethooth kinda thing, so maybe I could make something to disrupt that signal?  But if what Black Cat said holds, then maybe not?  Cause its like, magic and stuff, and I still don’t get how that works?  Might be something that Kitsune lady did, too.  She was magical too, and not just because she wore that sexy latex outfit.  She was pretty hot, though, right?  And that outfit she put Black Cat in?  OMG, SO HAWT!  And so cute!  Not cool though!  Not cool at all!  Bad Cyber Seer, bad!  Punish me, Mecha Mistress!

Update from Pink Pussy!  Like, apparently Dollface can teleport, too!  That’s totally how she managed to snatch Pussy (hehe…heheehehehe….I said snatch pussy…) and get her in that mask!  Creepy doll-faced lady with teleport powers, totally not cool!  BUT apparently it only works through mirrors, maybe?  At least, that’s what PP remembers, so everyone be totally careful of anything like that!

 

 

Known Accomplices

Kitsune – The sexy fox lady with very naughty and advanced illusion magic, per Black Cat.  I added the naughty part.  And totally not from Earth, apparently, not even this plane of existence.  Major unknown quantity here!  Like, she totally helped to free me when Dollface took that bullet to the head, but what’s her game?  Who’s she working for?  Where do all those tails connect, and are they real or just kinky accessories?  Inquiring minds want to know!

Anyway, she stole some seriously bad vibe magical artifacts that could mean…well, bad news.  Still waiting on Black Cat to figure out something there with her mysterious order or whatever (by the way, what little I’ve gotten out of her indicates there are totally a bunch of sexy mages in there…).  And apparently Scheherazade could do more than tell fun stories!  Who knew?  Certainly not I! 

 

Kitsune’s Boss – So, like, she’s working for someone.  No clues as to who, what, when, where, or why, but that’s like, the nature of mystery and intrigue in the superhero world, amiright?

 

Others – I couldn’t get much out of Dollface’s records, but I totally think there were others working for her or with her, maybe not her doll squad, but like, more influential or powerful types.  Something is amiss in Sentinel City, y’all!

 

Comments

Mecha Musume – I fixed the formatting for you; less thought-streaming, more factual and to the point.  Also clearer headings and more serious nature to the database.

Edit:  I see you’ve reverted most of my changes.  I’ll assume that’s just an error from the update you performed earlier and change that again.

Edit 2:  Ah, you’ve reverted my changes once more.  >:(  Well, fine, have it your way.  Mecha Mistress will be seeing you this evening, and she will not be pleased.

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  Insert eager panting noises here

 

Pink Pussy – I’m not proud of what she made me do, but can attest to the danger of those masks.  I could restrain myself in some ways, like when I took down Shadow Lynx and left her strung up under that streetlight; I had been ordered to kill her, but thankfully resisted the order.  I was out of it for a pretty good while afterward, though; once that mask came off, I was starving and exhausted.  No clue what longer term wear would do to a person who wasn’t a super.

And…who is this ‘Mecha Mistress’ chica?

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  That was totally hawt, btw.  Edit:  The Shadow Lynx thing, not the other stuff!  Also, Mecha Mistress, i can’t say anymore atm, I’m a little tied up 😉

—-Reply from Pink Pussy:  …with you, I’m not sure if you’re being literal or not…

——Reply from Cyber Seer:  Totes literal.  Ohmygawd, so hawt!

 

Gun Bunny – Appreciate that you appreciate my legs 😉  Also, I’m not seeing any comments from Black Cat; does she not have access?

–Reply from Cyber Seer:  The offer to crush me between them thighs or walk all over me is ongoing, btw.  Ummmm…baby steps with Black Cat.  She’s like…not really down with the electronic age, y’know?  She’s totally retro, but in a cool way!  

—-Reply from Gun Bunny:  Perhaps you should confer with your Mecha Mistress first?  

——Reply from Mecha Musume:  I’m certain she would not approve; I’ll be sure to inform her about this.

——–Reply from Cyber Seer:  I totally approve of this!  Eagerly awaiting whatever punishment Mecha Mistress has for me!  I’m totally a bad girl and absolutely 100% need it. XOXO

 

LORE24 ENTRY #37 – Supers Month #6 – Shadow Lynx

 

Hero Name

Shadow Lynx

 

Real Name

Selena Esperanza Delgado

 

Description

Selena is an attractive Latina woman with a fit, curvy body, dark brown eyes and hair, and pleasant, yet rather plain features, though she tends to try to be the center of attention whatever she’s doing.  She typically dresses in whatever fashion is popular at the moment, keeping up with whatever is trending online.  Usually due to personality conflicts, as many find her fiery nature a bit overwhelming, she struggled to stay in work, moving from one job to another, eventually becoming something of a successful online influencer and cosplayer, though her attitude has given her a reputation as something of a bully.

Once she realized she had super powers that, ironically enough, would serve her better out of the limelight, and assumed the identity of the heroine Shadow Lynx, she would fully embrace her fiery spirit and sense of superiority and adapt that into her costume, which consists of very revealing black leather, usually something one would classify as “dominatrix” attire, with long gloves, thigh-high boots with perhaps excessive heels (though she seems to have no trouble performing heroics in them), and figure-hugging leotards and bodysuits that leave little to the imagination.  She is often in competition with Pink Pussy when it comes to who is derided over the lewdness of their heroic persona more in the conservative crowd.

 

Powers and Abilities

As her name indicates, Shadow Lynx’s powers revolve around shadow and darkness.  When cloaked with sufficient shade, she can teleport from one shadow to another almost instantly, giving her unprecedented mobility, while remaining one with the darkness, practically becoming invisible if she remains fairly still.  Further, when in shadows, her body becomes remarkably quick to heal, almost as if it absorbs the shadows to fuel itself. 

Though she does not possess a full-on transformation like her pink-furred rival, Shadow Lynx nonetheless possesses incredible agility and combat ability, using a mix of martial arts styles mixed with her preferred weapons, cat-like claws in her gloves and a stout whip, to subdue her foes in methods that border on kinky, but sex sales, and Shadow Lynx is nothing if not business savvy, always seeming to get the best shots and clips of her fights for her fans, who eagerly pay for the spiciest of content she has to offer.

Shadow Lynx’s powers are not without flaws, however.  Any sudden bright lights can dazzle her while they’re in use, even stun her if shone directly upon her, completely negating her recuperation and other shadow-linked abilities.  This is the primary reason she’s not often seen during the day, and why rumors persist that she stages fights in the daylight so as to give the impression she can fight in the light, though she’s adamant that’s all bullshit started by Pink Pussy’s fans to slander her.  

 

Background Info

Selena has always wanted to live the wealthy and luxurious life, and having grown up in the lower-middle class, has a strong work ethic to make herself successful.  She has been mostly able to do this, though usually can’t hold a job for long due to her hot-tempered, fiery nature getting the better of her.  Thankfully, the internet was there for her, and she found a niche that worked well for her as an influencer and cosplayer, and has been moderately successful in that regard, though she always aims higher and higher, whoever she has to tear down to get there.

She was among the first wave of superpowered heroes in Sentinel City, coming on the scene at roughly the same time as Pink Pussy, whom she took an immediate disliking to, their two personalities not mixing at all.  Their first meeting ended in a shouting match over who deserved the credit for taking down the carjackers that escalated into a fist fight.  Video of the event is still amongst her most highly viewed clips, though, and the debate over who is the hotter of the two feline heroines still rages online.

Some months after she started the hero gig and began earning more money than her day job, Shadow Lynx was approached to join DOMME, who wanted to bring her on as a personality under their banner, handling her marketing, merch sales, etc, all with promises of a massive paycheck.  Money talks with Shadow Lynx, and she was signed up almost before she realized it, and was assigned a woman by the name of Marceline as her omnipresent manager.  Though she would balk at the strictness of Marceline’s scheduling and training routines initially, Shadow Lynx was quick to follow whatever schedule her manager gave her because the money was good, and living the high life was exactly what she wanted.  Though Shadow Lynx had some growing concerns and initially asked lots of questions, namely about who the other heroes she was working with were, and why she had to go through some rather strenuous and demeaning physical training, Marceline deftly deflected such concerns with veiled threats of pulled funding and support, if not outright lawsuits against Shadow Lynx should she break her contract.

So, Shadow Lynx adapted, and eventually would find herself with a most exciting opportunity, namely to see her rival, Pink Pussy, deposed and branded as a criminal, having turned to a life of crime.  Overjoyed at a chance to hunt down the pink bitch, and even to have the idea approved by her corporate masters, Shadow Lynx began hunting Pink Pussy, and would eventually confront her, though the meeting did not go at all as planned, the dark heroine soundly defeated, with Shadow Lynx coming to the shocking realization that Pink Pussy had been holding back during their previous bouts.  This failure, followed by the failure to stop the villainous Dollface, did not sit well with Marceline, who questioned Shadow Lynx’s dedication to being a proper superhero, and insisted upon even more strenuous and ridiculous training.  Needless to say, Shadow Lynx is eager for a rematch with Pink Pussy, and a chance to prove herselff Sentinel City’s top heroine once and for all, whatever it takes.

LORE24 ENTRY #36 – Supers Month #5 – Black Cat

 

Hero Name

Black Cat

 

Real Name

Elizabeth “Liz” Powell

 

Description

Having lived outside of the normal world for decades, Liz remains somewhat stuck in time, as do many of her order, and doesn’t necessarily make much of a distinction between her true identity and her heroic one; pretty much nobody knows her outside of the order anyway.  

Though she is well into her 50s, Liz still has the appearance of a teenager, with long black hair reaching down to her butt, worn loose, with very obvious cat ears and a tail covered in black fur.  Her eyes are amber and can appear feline when she is using her arcane sight.  She is of average height and build, and still wears the kinds of clothes she wore when she was still living in the real world, namely heavy metal band shirts and jeans or jean shorts, usually accented with leather collars, cuffs, and maybe even a light chain instead of a belt, and a good pair of stout boots.

As she’s interacting with the people of Sentinel City more and more, and working with the heroes of the city, as Black Cat, she has taken up a costume of her own, going with another classic style, namely the sexy witch.  Her heroic costume consists of a wide-brimmed, floppy witch’s hat with holes for her ears to poke through, beset with various magical charms, a leather mini-dress with a cleavage-revealing bustier top and loose-fitting corset, opera-length gloves, over-the-knee high-heeled boots, and fishnet stockings.  Later, following a bit of a magical mishap involving the mysterious Kitsune, her costume would be composed of magically-infused latex instead of leather.

 

Powers and Abilities

Unlike the vast majority of the current wave of superpowered individuals, Black Cat is a classically trained arcanist (witch, wizard, mage, whatever the term one decides to use), giving her a wide variety of spells and a deep knowledge of the intricacies of the nature of magic that none of her companions have.  In essence, she is capable of learning and using practically any spell assuming she has the mana reserves to do so, whereas the ‘supers’ around her typically have a rather narrow specialty, their powers focusing in only a few well-defined areas.

Having bonded herself to her familiar, Black Cat possesses heightened senses, not only better night vision, hearing, and smell like a cat, but magical sight which allows her to read the flows of magic and understand their composition almost immediately.  Further, this bond allows her to cast certain spells when she would normally not be able to (such as when bound and gagged), as her familiar can take over the physical requirements in its state of existing between the physical world and the ethereal.

Due to the nature of her training and her deep knowledge of magical theory, and her access to the vast archives of the Sanctum, Black Cat can generally come up with a spell for any occasion, often improvising well-known spells to create other effects, or coming up with innovative uses for simple spells that the overspecialized ‘supers’ often can’t contend with.  She also possesses knowledge of at least one of the forbidden spells, known as the Bands of Arrnor, which calls upon the power of a demon to capture foes n a most inescapable and deeply erotic way.  Further, she also possesses enough magical aptitude to study the ways of chronomancy with the head of the Order of Hecate herself.

 

Background Info

A woman out of time, Liz was born in the 1970s and raised in the 1980s, growing up in a suburban, middle-class family and enjoying all the entertainment the time period had to offer.  As magic had mostly been drained from the material world, it came as a complete shock to her when, during her early teenage years, she began manifesting uncontrolled magical abilities.  It was soon after these began that Sassy, a member of the Order of Hecate, would appear and officially adopt Liz into the Order as its newest apprentice, the first one since Sassy herself, who had joined in the late 1800s.  Though she would miss her family, Liz was fascinated by the fact that magic was real and that she could use it, and dove headfirst into her studies.  Inside the order’s Sanctum, time has little meaning, and before she knew it, decades had passed, and her magical abilities had matured, though her body still appeared mostly as it did when she was taken in.  She would chose the path of bonding with her familiar instead of keeping it as a separate entity, gaining its feline features.

Then, an amazing thing happened.  Whatever force had sealed up the source of magic in the real world suddenly vanished, and with the dam broken, magic flooded the Earth.  Old leylines were suddenly bursting with power, and people across the face of the world were gaining magical powers of all kinds, kinds that had not been seen in centuries, if not completely new.  Given the Order’s nature, there was really no decisions made to investigate, only to study until the time was right.  Being the youngest of the mages, only in her early 50s, Liz did what any teenager properly raised in the 80s would have done:  she snuck out of the Sanctum and explored Sentinel City on her own, discovering that the world was almost entirely different from how she remembered it.  For the first time, she could understand why it was that most of the members of the Order avoided venturing into the material realm.

It was during her exploration that she would come upon the crime scene that Mecha Musume and Cyber Seer had recently taken care of, learning more details about the strange use of magic and picking up on the magic that was used by the mysterious Pink Pussy, her instincts telling her that there was much more going on that what was at once obvious.  She would eventually run afoul of the Sentinel City police, specifically Detective Conway, during her investigations, and would have to break out, after which she would join up with Mecha Musume and Cyber Seer to hatch a plan to capture Pink Pussy before she could complete her crime spree.  Though they would successfully capture Pink Pussy and learn of the existence of Dollface, their plans would go awry from there, and she would be defeated by the talented illusionist known only as Kitsune.

Following this incident, Liz continues to learn more of the modern world, now with the blessings of her superiors in the Order, to uncover the nature of the mysterious dark entity seeking the magical relics Pink Pussy and Kitsune had been pilfering, and acting as one of the newest heroes of the city to fight the surge of superpowered criminal activity as Black Cat.
