Indeed, the air held about the woman is that of reserved authority, energy held at bay through will yet displayed in a nearly unshakable visage of apathy and disinterest. From the outside, the vigilante demonstrates no leanings, no perceived biases, as she judges the world in how it surrounds. [break][break] Her figure, muscular and imposing — even despite her relatively short stature when compared to the likes of heroes and UA students — comes perhaps as her most recognizable feature, given her need to readily demonstrate the painstaking effort placed into its form. As someone whose first love was stolen by football, evidence demonstrates a persistent, habitual need to show off her leg strength, adorning herself to best show the strength and technique she's accrued. [break][break] Dressed most often in shorts — though not uncommonly seen wearing form-fitting leggings — her apparel can most often be described as "athletic," though she demonstrates more versatility in the tops she wears; such options may include graphic tees, sports bras — generally, anything breathable is something she readily adds to her catalog. Though, regardless of her attire, she can commonly be seen sporting a white cloak that reaches near the floor from her shoulders, with her figure often being concealed by it until she chooses to dramatically show off. [break][break] When dressed for her role as a vigilante, however, the dynamic changes; indeed, her cloak replaces its unblemished white for a pitch-black abyss, with its black accents becoming an intense hue of green and glowing crosses of the same vibrance. Her attire additionally takes her existing tastes — particularly for shorts and breathable tops — for a set of white shorts, a black half-zipper crop top with green accents, and a white doubled-breasted waistcoat. To conceal her identity, she additionally raises the hood of her cloak and further dons a full face mask, one with glowing neon Xs where her eyes would be, and a jack-o'-lantern-styled smile. Finally, as of recent times, she also wears a black, skintight suit beneath the rest of her clothing so as to better hide her identity. [break][break] [break][break] [attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ PERSONALITY ◂ [break] [attr="class","explorerbox"] Despite the manner with which she holds herself, Jackie is far from the passive presence she demonstrates; in fact, Jackie is perhaps one of the most actively critical participants of the current world order. Hidden behind the veneer of aloofness and general disregard for the manner of things lies a heart, a soul, of grotesque fury and shameless passion. One half screams for Jackie to demonstrate, both to herself and to the world, the terrors that lie within their society; it wishes for her to sing the ballad of woes, of unending complacency, that all within the law are bound to. The other, then, wishes for her to dance the tango of passion; to demonstrate herself as she feels it within. [break][break] And so, the appearance of indifference acts as a shield for greater machinations. Yet, even in the presence of polite company, either end can still manage to seep out from the cracks. The former, perhaps more subtly, questions the nature of heroes' society, stating and repeating the cynical woes of the "capitalistic system" that now commodifies the act of being a good person. The other remains guileless by comparison, vocalizing itself in the desire for something, anything, to change; however, it predominantly surfaces within the confines of the vigilante's identity, Grinta. [break][break] Grinta, by comparison, unleashes the fervor hidden behind the mask of civility and, instead, boldly brandishes the blade of betterment for the sake of all. Whilst wearing the identity of a vigilante, Jackie has no reason to hold back the sense left boiling within her mind and soul; for, put simply, why would an already prohibited identity have any reason to constrain itself beyond its tether to the polite face of a seen person? [break][break] In that sense, Jackie Maradona is both ends of her soul in their entirety, yet picks and chooses the balance as it's found within the grander game of people. [break][break] [break][break] [attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ HISTORY ◂ [break] [attr="class","explorerbox"] Buenos Aires, Argentina. A colorful, sprawling metropolis lent inspiration by the nations of Europe for its structure, both culturally and architecturally speaking. Such was the environment that bared and nurtured — from the years of 2075 to 2095 — Jackie Maradona, a young girl of little note or consequence. Such concepts of grandeur and meaning mattered little to the young Maradona, especially not whilst living in one of the greatest countries in the world. The surrounding world was vibrant with life, with people of different backgrounds surrounding her and her family. [break][break] Her mother, a woman of Afro-Argentinian descent — with ancestry traced back to Somalia and Italy — married to her a fair-skinned man of simple Argentine origin — though with roots of Spaniards found along his lineage — and, in their position of economic stability, fostered their child as their sole heir. Her mother, Carmen Maradona, the disciplinarian, and her father, Devante Maradona, the "fun parent"; through both being full-time workers, they maintained an adequate standard of life for themselves and their single child, fostering her interest — and forcing some, as parents expose their child to the world — so that she may, too, find a means of providing for herself and a family, if the latter was so desired, and a simple zest for the life she was given. [break][break] Yet, despite the love always found in her life, there grew an ever-looming ideal emerging from deep within Jackie's soul; as she looked about the ever-more known world — more specifically, the superpowered aspect of it — she couldn't help but question "why." Or, more aptly, why her and others' gifts were to be kept hidden away while heroes and villains wielded theirs freely. Were these abilities — these "quirks," as they were called — not just another part of their body, like a foot or a fist? Are they no more a part of themselves as the rest of their biology is? [break][break] This initial idea was quietly subdued for the time being, especially concerning the greater safety of the collective. After all, while some quirks may accomplish the mundane, others may touch upon the very fabric of reality and alter it to the whims of the wielder. Factoring this disparity into a burgeoning worldview, at least for a time, the notion disappeared. [break][break] But the years passed along, and as she grew older, so too did her ideals. The once simple solution of acquiescence grew tattered and weary, and again the question arose: Why must she inhibit her native abilities whilst those "protecting the peace" did not? Furthermore, why would one be "criminal" to use their abilities, even without ill intent or destructive consequences?— Was not consolidating power amongst those who serve the interest of the powerful result in an all-controlling 1%?— In a world where those granted immense power will inevitably become either end of the extreme regardless, what was the point of restricting those with neither capacity nor background?— In fact, would the current system of heroic society not inherently be the culprit behind these divisive binaries? [break][break] Were these the solutions settled for? [break][break] So she took to see the nature of heroism in a region infamous for it: Japan. Perhaps — she thought — if she wished to employ her own ideal, then such a hub of heroism would surely be the place to begin. Furthermore, as a place packed to bursting with both heroism and villainy, so too could she analyze them and how they came to be. [break][break] Now having resided the Argentine for some time, Grinta acts as a vigilante predominantly within the boundaries of Tokyo. More so than that, however, she acts as a conduit from which vigilantes may acquire support equipment. While heroes are in no short supply of support manufacturers, and whilst villains maintain a network with which they may acquire their illicit goods, there is still plenty of room to fill in the vigilantes' market. [break][break] [break][break] [attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ ITEMS ◂ [break] [attr="class","explorerbox"] ▸Earpiece (she doesn't have a normal phone)[break] ▸Wallet[break] ▸Keychain (with only 2 keys)[break] ▸Stress Ball (green, simple with no patterns)[break] ▸Jack-o'-Lantern Digital Mask (electronic piece with the display being the hallmark feature, though the wearer can still clearly see)[break] ▸Brigadier Hat (white and black in pattern with a green clover pin)[break] [break][break] [attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ QUIRK ◂ [break] [attr="class","explorerbox"] QUIRK NAME: Pundit[break] QUIRK RANK: A-[break] QUIRK TYPE: Emitter[break] QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Pundit, the quirk, functions as its own separate entity inhabiting the mind of its bearer, whispering into her mind's eye. It knows the thoughts, vices, and desires of its user, even when with attempts to resist it. Although she maintains control over the being in its manifestation and corporeal form, and she is not subservient to its advice, she has little ability to actually ignore it. Pundit, the being, does not however inherently desire ill will for its user and instead operates as the "voice of truth," as it calls itself. [break][break] ▸HIJACK: When manifested into a physical form, Pundit takes on the shape of a small, black or white, spherical creature (a diameter of about 1 meter) with a mouth and eyes, though it can make itself smaller (down to 0.1 meters) for the purposes of the following feature: While in its physical form, Pundit can embed itself into machines, spreading a network of its nerves throughout its host and taking hold of their physical form, manipulating their mechanisms to operate as it sees fit. This does inherently alter the properties of the technology it operates, nor does it allow Pundit to destroy them from the inside out. Additionally, if the machine being infested possesses a sort of software, Pundit may willingly allow it to coexist or entirely override it and utilize its parameters to their desired effect. [break][break] That being said, Pundit's manifestation does not result in it leaving Jackie's mind; in fact, it's more accurate to call its manifestation an appendage of its will. As a result, its physical form can be summoned numerous times (with up to 6 being able to exist at a time) and be destroyed numerous times without "killing" the being-like quirk. [break][break] ▸ANTIGRAVITY: Pundit's physical form is comprised of an odd material that differs from the known, allowing it the ability to move omnidirectionally through the air. Additionally, when extending its systems into Hijacked machines, it transfers the same property over to them, allowing Pundit to grant such devices a flight speed and dexterity equivalent to its own (which is equivalent to the quirk rank). [break][break] QUIRK DRAWBACKS/LIMITATIONS:[break][break] ▸LITTLE GUYS: Pundit's ability to inflict and withstand damage is next to non-existent. As a result, their power and their constitution are treated as C-, with everything else being standard for a quirk of its level. This penalty does not apply to the machines they Hijack. [break][break] ▸FISH ARE FRIENDS, NOT FOOD: I feel it generally unnecessary to point this out but will do so in case the question arises: No, humans (and creatures with their own bodily systems) are not considered "machines" for the purposes of Hijack, thus meaning Pundit can't forcefully pilot PCs or NPCs, even if consent was granted IC or OOC. Most living beings are entirely off the table as targets. [break][break] ▸ORBIT: Pundit, in all of its manifestations, needs to be within 20 meters of its users. Going beyond this will result in them collapsing to the ground, including any machines being Hijacked at the time. Moving back into range, primarily through the user stepping into range of the Pundit, will restore functionality and awaken them for usage. [break][break] ▸FORCED REMOVAL: Destroying a Pundit in an existing machine will also destroy the nervous system embedded into it, effectively releasing it from the control of the user and other benefits of the quirk. [break][break] [break][break] [attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ EQUIPMENT ◂ [break] [attr="class","explorerbox"] EQUIPMENT NAME: Criollo [ND][break] EQUIPMENT RANK: A-[break] EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: Jackie Maradona[break] EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: Criollo, dubbed so after the football style popularized in Argentina, is by far the most meaningful creation — and yet ongoing production — Jackie has thus crafted, and was born through the vigilante's newfound inspiration since moving to Japan. Criollo functions as an AI software meant to adapt to Jackie's specific habits, protect her interests, and otherwise align itself with the choices of its creator whilst simultaneously demonstrating its ever-growing intelligence. [break][break] Given Criollo's physical form — or, more accurately, lack thereof — mechanically speaking, it functions as a means of augmenting its architect's other projects and equipment, particularly those with the inherent capacity to be piloted via its presence within their structures, and protecting the systems in which it resides from hackers; as it stands, all of the vigilante's personal equipment (not those manufactured for others) are equipped with Criollo's programming, granting it the ability to conduct them independently of its programmer. [break][break] Criollo is considered to have an Awareness attribute equivalent to its Rank, but anything being puppeteered by the program follows their own respective attributes. Furthermore, attempts to hack or directly access systems monitored or inhabited by Criollo by unauthorized individuals will be combatted by the program with a value equivalent to its equipment rank. [break][break] It should be noted, however, that technology-disabling devices (such as EMPs) will otherwise incapacitate Criollo, as it does not independently resist such phenomena. More practically, however, machines inhabited and handled by the program will almost always lose functionality under such circumstances. By contrast, tech-based quirks that can override Criollo by outranking it, or hackers with the requisite skills to breach the program by also ranking higher than it, can gain access to the machines targeted. [break][break] EQUIPMENT NAME: Dagger Cloak [ND][break] EQUIPMENT RANK: A-[break] EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: Jackie Maradona[break] EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: The cloak frequently worn about Jackie, with the hood being rose during proper vigilante escapades, is not simply as it seems, beyond the spikes at the end of its length; rather, Dagger Cloak is a cloak infested with nanomachines, all with the specific intent of protecting the wearer from threats to their safety. These microscopic machines have the ability to move all aspects of their vessel, the cloak, from within, functionally turning their cage into an appendage they can bend and twist for the sake of their purpose. Additionally, at the bottom of the cloak, several ports are modeled into the fabric to outstretch several sharp daggers along the end. [break][break] Dagger Cloak does not inherently possess the necessary programming to be functional and, instead, relies upon Criollo as its means of operating. Disabling the Criollo program within it, as outlined in Criollo's description, will result in the loss of functionality of the nanomachines, effectively turning Dagger Cloak into a heavy suit of armor. This can be further worsened if opposition outright corrupts or overrides the installed software, as it then may be manipulated to directly harm the wearer. [break][break] Furthermore, due to the multitude of materials at play within this piece of equipment, the wearer's Speed and Dexterity Attribute, with regard to their physical ability to walk, run, and jump, are considered to be reduced by 1 rank while donning it. Disabling Dagger Cloak increases this penalty to 3 ranks (a full letter rank). This penalty only applies to her ability to move her position, not her ability to effectively attack with her extremities or the movement potentially granted by quirk. [break][break] (FLAVOR) While worn in her everyday life, the cloak appears with predominantly white coloring and black accenting, with the blades along the end retracted into the fabric. Whilst out and dressed properly as a vigilante, however, it takes on a black base whilst its accents transform into a harsh green; furthermore, the cross-like markings along its collar and at the end of its blades glow a neon-green hue. Furthermore, the sealed daggers become readily apparent and usable. [break][break] EQUIPMENT NAME: Gol-Pay, Prototype[break] EQUIPMENT RANK: C-[break] EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: Jackie Maradona[break] EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: Gol-Pay is the bracer worn about Jackie's left leg. As it currently stands, this creation is still within its prototype phase — primarily as the vigilante's experimentation with nanomachine-formed materials, as the bracer's wraps are composed of nanomachines — and only thus functions as a modicum of what it may eventually become. For the moment, its primary function is saving the force impacted upon its fibers and discharging it back outwards when hitting a physical surface, acting as a second impact (with strength equivalent to equipment rank). [break][break] When not in use (thus not applying their bonuses), Gol-Pay takes the form of an ankle bracelet. Additionally, like Dagger Cloak, this piece of equipment relies upon Criollo to function, thus retaining the same vulnerabilities. [break][break] EQUIPMENT NAME: In-Yer-Face (IYF), Prototype[break] EQUIPMENT RANK: D+[break] EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: Jackie Maradona[break] EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: In-Yer-Face, similarly to Gol-Pay, is an experimentation with nanomachine-formed materials; though in this regard, IYF is focused on the ability to project a small, miniature keyboard along the wearer's forearm and a holographic screen to access the internet. IYF, given its rank, mechanically offers no benefit outside of the flavor of being used like a laptop. While not in use, it takes on the appearance of a wristwatch. [break][break] Even still, as it operates off of the Criollo software, the same weaknesses apply. In this case, however, accessing it also grants perpetrators any cloud-shared files being run. [break][break] [attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ SKILLS ◂ [break] [attr="class","explorerbox"] SKILL NAME: El Mecánico (Support, Mechanical and Software Engineering)[break] SKILL RANK: A+[break] SKILL DESCRIPTION: Jackie comfortably stands atop the world as one of its best and brightest in the realm of manufacturing and repairing support equipment, as well as augmenting her creations with advanced software. [break][break] SKILL NAME: Fútbol (Fighting Style) [break] SKILL RANK: D+[break] SKILL DESCRIPTION: Born into a nation obsessed with the sport of football, Jackie has, unsurprisingly, taken to it though it was a loved one in its entirety. It's become a core pillar of her identity — both when on the grass or watching from the stands — but, as she's taken to her distinct ambitions, she's incorporated the athletics of her beloved pastime into a fighting style of choice: A strange approach capitalizing upon her leg strength to strike with individually mighty kicks.[break] [attr="class","explorerclaim"]PLAYED BY: [attr="class","explorerclaim"]BATTERY

[div][attr="class","explorerbody"][div][attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ APPEARANCE ◂[/div][break]
[div][attr="class","explorerbox"]
The Ideal of the Populace, Jackie Maradona, stands out as an irregularity amongst the wider populace of Japan, even including the many whose origins trace back to European and/or North American descent; gifted a beautifully tanned complexion with majestic locks of gold rippling from the top of her head — with iris hues to compliment — the Argentine couldn't be inconspicuous in a crowd lest the divine reached down from the heavens to intervene. Indeed, the air held about the woman is that of reserved authority, energy held at bay through will yet displayed in a near unshakable visage of apathy and disinterest. From the outside, the vigilante demonstrates no leanings, no perceived biases, as she judges the world in how it surrounds.

[break][break]

Her figure, muscular and imposing — even despite her relatively short frame when compared to the likes of heroes and U.A.U. students — comes perhaps as her most recognizable feature, given her need to readily demonstrate the painstaking effort placed into its form. As someone whose first love was stolen by football, evidence demonstrates a persistent, habitual need to show off her leg strength, adorning herself to best show the strength and technique she's accrued.

[break][break]

Dressed most often in shorts — though not uncommonly seen wearing form-fitting leggings — her apparel can most often be described as "athletic," though she demonstrates more versatility in the tops she wears; such options may include graphic tees, sports bras — generally, anything breathable in something she readily adds to her catalog. Though, regardless of her attire, she can commonly be seen sporting a white cloak that reaches near the floor from her shoulders, with her figure often being concealed by it until she chooses to dramatically show off.

[break][break]

When dressed for her role as a vigilante, however, the dynamic changes; indeed, her cloak replaces its unblemished white for a pitch-black abyss, with its black accents becoming an intense hue of green and glowing crosses of the same vibrance. Her attire additionally takes her existing tastes — particularly for shorts and breathable tops — for a set of white shorts, a black half-zipper crop top with green accents, and a white doubled-breasted waistcoat. To conceal her identity, she additionally raises the hood of her cloak and further dons a full face mask, one with glowing neon Xs where her eyes would be, and a Jack-o'-lantern-styled smile.

[div][attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ PERSONALITY ◂[/div][break]
[div][attr="class","explorerbox"]
Despite the manner with which she holds herself, Jackie is far from the passive presence she demonstrates; in fact, Jackie is perhaps one of the most actively critical participants of the current world order. Hidden behind the veneer of aloofness and general disregard for the manner of things lies a heart, a soul, of grotesque fury and shameless passion. One half screams for Jackie to demonstrate, both to herself and to the world, the terrors that lie within their society; it wishes for her to sing the ballad of woes, of unending complacency, that all within the law are bound to. The other, then, wishes for her to dance the tango of passion; to demonstrate herself as she feels it within.

[break][break]

And so, the appearance of indifference acts as a shield for greater machinations. Yet, even in the presence of polite company, either end can still manage to seep out from the cracks. The former, perhaps more subtly, questions the nature of heroes' society, stating and repeating the cynical woes of the "capitalistic system" that now commodifies the act of being a good person. The other remains guileless by comparison, vocalizing itself in the desire for something, [i]anything[/i], to change; however, it predominantly surfaces within the confines of the vigilante's identity, Grinta.

[break][break]

Grinta, by comparison, unleashes the fervor hidden behind the mask of civility and, instead, boldly brandishes the blade of betterment for the sake of all. Whilst wearing the identity of a vigilante, Jackie has no reason to hold back the sense left boiling within her mind and soul; for, put simply, why would an already prohibited identity have any reason to constrain itself beyond its tether to the polite face of seen person?

[break][break]

In that sense, Jackie Maradona is both ends of her soul in their entirety, yet picks and chooses the balance as it's found within the grander game of people.

[break][break]

[div][attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ HISTORY ◂[/div][break]
[div][attr="class","explorerbox"]
Buenos Aires, Argentina. A colorful, sprawling metropolis lent inspiration by the nations of Europe for its structure, both culturally and architecturally speaking. Such was the environment that bared and nurtured — from the years of 2077 to 2095 — Jackie Maradona, a young girl of little note or consequence. Such concepts of grandeur and meaning mattered little to the young Maradona, especially not whilst living in one of the greatest countries in the world. The surrounding world was vibrant with life, with people of different backgrounds surrounding her and her family.

[break][break]

Her mother, a woman of Afro-Argentinian descent — with ancestry traced back to Somalia and Italy — married to her a fair-skinned man of simple Argentine origin — though with roots of Spaniards found along his lineage — and, in their position of economic stability, fostered their child as their sole heir. Her mother, Carmen Maradona, the disciplinarian, and her father, Devante Maradona, the "fun parents"; through both being full-time workers, they maintained an adequate standard of life for themselves and their single child, fostering her interest — and forcing some, as parents expose their child to the world — so that she may, too, find a means of providing for herself and a family, if the latter was so desired, and a simple zest for the life she was given.

[break][break]

Yet, despite the love always found in her life, there grew an ever-looming ideal emerging from deep within Jackie's soul; as she looked about the ever-more known world — more specifically, the superpowered aspect of it — she couldn't help but question "why." Or, more aptly, why her and others' gifts were to be kept hidden away while heroes and villains wielded theirs freely? Were these abilities — these "quirks," as they were called — not just another part of their body, like a foot or a fist? Are they no more a part of themselves as the rest of their biology is?

[break][break]

This initial idea was quietly subdued for the time being, especially with regard to the greater safety of the collective. After all, while some quirks may accomplish the mundane, others may touch upon the very fabric of reality and alter it to the whims of the wielder. Factoring this disparity into a burgeoning worldview, at least for a time, the notion disappeared.

[break][break]

But the years passed along and as she grew older, so too did her ideals find. The once simple solution of acquiescence grew tattered and weary, and again the question arose: Why must she inhibit her native abilities whilst those "protecting the peace" did not? Furthermore, why would one be "criminal" to use their abilities, even without ill intent or destructive consequences?— Was not consolidating power amongst those who serve the interest of the powerful result in an all-controlling 1%?— In a world where those granted immense power will inevitably become either end of the extreme regardless, what was the point of restricting those with neither capacity nor background?— In fact, would the current system of heroic society not inherently be the culprit behind these divisive binaries?

[break][break]

Were these really the solutions settled for?

[break][break]

So she took to see the nature of heroism in a region infamous for it: Japan. Perhaps — she thought — if she wished to employ her own ideal, then such a hub of heroism would surely be the place to begin. Furthermore, as a place packed to bursting with both heroism and villainy, so too could she analyze them and the ways in which they came to be.

[break][break]

Now having resided the Argentine for some time, Grinta acts as a vigilante predominantly within the boundaries of Tokyo. More so than that, however, she acts as a conduit from which vigilantes may acquire support equipment. While heroes are in no short supply of support manufacturers, and whilst villains maintain a network with which they may acquire their illicit good, there is still plenty of room to fill in the vigilantes' market.

[div][attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ QUIRK ◂[/div][break]
[div][attr="class","explorerbox"]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]QUIRK NAME:[/b][/font] Pundit[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]QUIRK RANK:[/b][/font] B+[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]QUIRK TYPE:[/b][/font] Emitter[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]QUIRK DESCRIPTION:[/b][/font] Pundit, the quirk, functions as its own separate entity inhabiting the mind of its bearer, whispering into her mind's eye. It knows the thoughts, vices, and desires of its user, even when with attempts to resist it. Although she maintains control over the being in its manifestation and corporeal form, and she is not subservient to its advice, she has little ability to actually ignore it. Pundit, the being, does not however inherently desire ill will for its user and instead operates as the "voice of truth," as it calls itself.

[break][break]

[font color="#13ad39"]▸HIJACK:[/font] When manifested into a physical form, Pundit takes on the shape of a small, black or white, spherical creature (a diameter of about 1 meter) with a mouth and eyes, though it can make itself smaller (down to 0.1 meters) for the purposes of the following feature: While in its physical form, Pundit can embed itself into machines, spreading a network of its nerves throughout its host and taking hold of their physical form, manipulating their mechanisms to operate as it sees fit. This does inherently alter the properties of the technology it operates, nor does it allow Pundit to destroy them from the inside out.  Additionally, if the machine being infested possesses a sort of software, Pundit may willingly allow it to coexist or entirely override it and utilize its parameters to their desired effect.

[break][break]

That being said, Pundit's manifestation does not result in it leaving Jackie's mind; in fact, it's more accurate to call its manifestation an appendage of its will. As a result, its physical form can be summoned numerous times (with up to 4 being able to exist at a time) and be destroyed numerous times without "killing" the being-like quirk.

[break][break]

[font color="#13ad39"]▸ANTIGRAVITY:[/font] Pundit's physical form is comprised of an odd material that differs from the known, allowing it the ability to move omnidirectionally through the air. Additionally, when extending its systems into Hijacked machines, it transfers the same property over to them, allowing Pundit to grant such devices a flight speed and dexterity equivalent to its own (which is equivalent to the quirk rank).

[break][break]

[font color="#13ad39"][b]QUIRK DRAWBACKS/LIMITATIONS:[/b][/font][break][break]

[font color="#13ad39"]▸LITTLE GUYS:[/font] Pundit's ability to inflict and withstand damage is next to non-existent. As a result, their power and their constitution are treated as C-, with everything else being standard for a quirk of its level. This penalty does not apply to the machines they Hijack.

[break][break]

[font color="#13ad39"]▸FISH ARE FRIENDS, NOT FOOD:[/font] I feel it generally unnecessary to point this out but will do so in case the question arises: No, humans (and creatures with their own bodily systems) are not considered "machines" for the purposes of Hijack, thus meaning Pundit can't forcefully pilot PCs or NPCs, even if consent was granted IC or OOC. Most living beings are entirely off the table as targets.

[break][break]

[font color="#13ad39"]▸ORBIT:[/font] Pundit, in all of its manifestations, needs to be within 20 meters of its users. Going beyond this will result in them collapsing to the ground, including any machines being Hijacked at the time. Moving back into range, primarily through the user stepping into range of the Pundit, will restore functionality and awaken them for usage.

[break][break]

[font color="#13ad39"]▸FORCED REMOVAL:[/font] Destroying a Pundit in an existing machine will also destroy the nervous system embedded into it, effectively releasing it from the control of the user and other benefits of the quirk.

[div][attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ EQUIPMENT ◂[/div][break]
[div][attr="class","explorerbox"]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT NAME:[/b][/font] Criollo[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT RANK:[/b][/font] B+[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER:[/b][/font] Jackie Maradona[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION:[/b][/font] Criollo, dubbed so after the football style popularized in Argentina, is by far the most meaningful creation — and yet ongoing production — Jackie has thus crafted, and was born through the vigilante's newfound inspiration since moving to Japan. Criollo functions as an AI software meant to adapt to Jackie's specific habits, protect her interests, and otherwise align itself with the choices of its creator whilst simultaneously demonstrating its ever-growing intelligence.

[break][break]

Given Criollo's physical form — or, more accurately, lack thereof — mechanically speaking, it functions as a means of augmenting its architect's other projects and equipment, particularly those with the inherent capacity to be piloted via its presence within their structures, and protecting the systems in which it resides from hackers; as it stands, all of the vigilante's personal equipment (not those manufactured for others) are equipped with Criollo's programming, granting it the ability to conduct them independently of its programmer.

[break][break]

Criollo is considered to have an Awareness attribute equivalent to its Rank, but anything being puppeteered by the program follows the respective physical Attributes of the machines it operates (Strength, Constitution, Speed, and Dexterity). Furthermore, attempts to hack or directly access systems monitored or inhabited by Criollo by unauthorized individuals will be combatted by the program with a value equivalent to its equipment rank.

[break][break]

It should be noted, however, that technology-disabling devices (such as EMPs) will otherwise incapacitate Criollo, as it does not independently resist such phenomena. More practically, however, machines inhabited and handled by the program will almost always lose functionality under such circumstances. By contrast, tech-based quirks that can override Criollo by outranking it, or hackers with the requisite skills to breach the program by also ranking higher than it, can gain access to the machines targeted.

[break][break]

[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT NAME:[/b][/font] Dagger Cloak[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT RANK:[/b][/font] C[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER:[/b][/font] Jackie Maradona[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION:[/b][/font] The cloak frequently worn about Jackie, with the hood being rose during proper vigilante escapades, is not simply as it seems, beyond the spikes at the end of its length; rather, Dagger Cloak is a highly durable cloak infested with nanomachines, all with the specific intent of protecting the wearer from threats to their safety. These microscopic machines have the ability to move all aspects of their vessel, the cloak, from within, functionally turning their cage into an appendage they can bend and twist for the sake of their purpose.

[break][break]

The physical Attributes (Strength, Constitution, Speed, and Dexterity) of this piece of equipment are equal to its equipment rank; however, Dagger Cloak does not inherently possess the necessary programming to be functional and, instead, relies upon Criollo as its means of functioning. Disabling the Criollo program within it, as outlined in Criollo's description, will result in the loss of functionality of the nanomachines, effectively turning Dagger Cloak into a heavy suit of armor. This can be further worsened if opposition outright corrupts or overrides the installed software, as it then may be manipulated to directly harm the wearer.

[break][break]

Furthermore, due to the multitude of materials at play within this piece of equipment, the wearer's Speed and Dexterity Attribute, with regard to their physical ability to walk, run, and jump, are considered to be reduced by 1 rank while donning it. Disabling Dagger Cloak increases this penalty to 3 ranks (a full letter rank). This penalty only applies to her ability to move her position, not her ability to effectively attack with her extremities or the movement potentially granted by quirk.

[break][break]

(FLAVOR) While worn in her everyday life, the cloak appears with predominantly white coloring and black accenting. Whilst out and dressed properly as a vigilante, however, it takes on a black base whilst its accents transform into a harsh green; furthermore, the cross-like markings along its collar and at the end of its points glow a neon-green hue.

[break][break]

[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT NAME:[/b][/font] Gol-Pay, Prototype[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT RANK:[/b][/font] C-[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER:[/b][/font] Jackie Maradona[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION:[/b][/font] Gol-Pay is the bracer worn about Jackie's left leg. As it currently stands, this creation is still within its prototype phase — primarily as the vigilante's experimentation with nanomachine-formed materials, as the bracer's wraps are [i]composed[/i] of nanomachines — and only thus functions as a modicum of what it may eventually become. For the moment, its primary function is saving the force impacted upon its fibers and discharging it back outwards when hitting a physical surface, acting as a second impact (with strength equivalent to equipment rank).

[break][break]

When not in use (thus not applying their bonuses), Gol-Pay takes the form of an ankle bracelet. Additionally, like Dagger Cloak, this piece of equipment relies upon Criollo to function, thus retaining the same vulnerabilities.

[break][break]

[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT NAME:[/b][/font] In-Yer-Face (IYF), Prototype[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT RANK:[/b][/font] D+[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER:[/b][/font] Jackie Maradona[break]
[font color="#13ad39"][b]EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION:[/b][/font] In-Yer-Face, similarly to Gol-Pay, is an experimentation with nanomachine-formed materials; though in this regard, IYF is focused on the ability to project a small, miniature keyboard along the wearer's forearm and a holographic screen to access the internet. IYF, given its rank, mechanically offers no benefit outside of the flavor of being used like a laptop. While not in use, it takes on the appearance of a wristwatch.

[break][break]

Even still, as it operates off of the Criollo software, the same weaknesses apply. In this case, however, accessing it also grants perpetrators any cloud-shared files being run.
