BloodBlader
BloodBlader is an operative of the clandestine Shadowborn organization.
Character History
Much of BloodBlader's past is kept a secret. Partially this is for security reasons, but also because she's changed her life story on a whim.
According to information on file with the Rocinante Group, a girl calling herself "Wendy Slade" was recruited off the streets as a teenager to take part in an experimental drug test that would enhance her latent mutant healing ability to give her instataneous regeneration from any injury. Unfortunately when they tested the effects, her healing powers were not fully active, resulting in the marring of her face. Soon after, her natural mutant ability kicked in, which then prevented surgeons from performing plastic surgery to repair the damage to her face.
The trauma of the experiment had other side-effects, including changing her hair color to purple, and making her somewhat antisocial. With modeling out of the question, she focused her attention on training her mind and body to fighting. She found that she could retain any lesson taught to her just by observation, which allowed her to speed through training.
Her love for violence, brought out by her antisocial personality, instantly gave her the codename "BloodBlader". Not long after that, she severed all ties with her former teacher (not to mention sever his throat) and began to work for the Rocinante Group as one of the more "extreme" field agents.
Her Shadowborn confirmation codeword is "Vivisect".
Encounters with the Guardians
BloodBlader was called into service by Ms. Maple after the administrative assistant had a late-night encounter with MidKnight X in the Rocinante Building. Her fixation of the elder administrative executive fueled her desire to see the street vigilante suffer.
She soon would get her encounter with MidKnight X during the battle against StarCygnus. It would be a short-lived battle as X would be rendered unconscious by one of StarCygnus' drones, but she was later kept busy with the location of the Guardian base on Talos Island. However she made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in a utility tunnel, where she was easily defeated by Daybright. She would eventually escape from police custody.
She would later be goaded into a new confrontation with MidKnight X, where he clearly overpowered her in the middle of Kings Row and told her to stay away from "his domain".
Powers and Abilities
BloodBlader is classified as a Scrapper archetype with science origins.
Her primary ability is Dual Blades. She has been trained to wield two swords. Her preferred weapons of choice are two finely-crafted swords designed just for her use, although she is equally proficient with any bladed weapon she can get her hands on.
Her secondary ability is Regeneration. Her mutant ability (initially too latent to classify) allows her to recover quickly from injuries, although it is not as efficient as it should be, as evidenced by the markings on her face. It also allows her to instantly memorize any activity and repeat it.
While classified as a "hero", she is clearly not one.
