infi-apo-revised.jpgLegal Name: Infinity Jones

Nicknames: Infi

Aliases: Mal’s Future, Mal’s Folly

Residence: The Nursery

Marital Status: Unmarried (probably forever)

Sex: Female

Height: 5’4”

Weight: 120 lb

Physical Build: After her Apotheosis, the Ugly Duckling of the Nursery became a swan. She's still pale and slight, but now she appears to be attractively so. She's not a large-breasted beauty like some in the Teragen, but she is beautiful. Her black hair lengthened in her Apotheosis, falling down to the middle of her back. Her red eyes are still very startling and expressive. Her lips are now full and beg to be kissed. She's truly a stunning beauty, by baseline standards.

Pre-Apotheosis: Infinity’s build is best described as thin and gawky. She’s awkwardly thin (at least in her own mind) and fairly flat everywhere she’d rather be curvy.

Appearance: Her best features are her eyes – through an unsettling red color inherited from her mother’s aberration, they are large and expressive. She typically dresses in dark clothing similar to the style favored by the Goth counter-culture. She doesn’t take it to the extremes that some adherents have in the past; mostly, she just looks good in that style and likes the black, stark look.

Personality Profile / Quirks: Bitter was the word to describe Infinity. She’s grown up around children of power like her, and watched them grow into near-gods while she did not. It has made her very angry, particularly as the sympathy of her peers turned into pity or scorn. Infinity walks a fine line between lashing out at everyone who’s hurt her and suffering from a deep self-hatred.

Since her Apotheosis, she's changed somewhat. She's become more thoughtful and quiet, less impulsive. Though she still seems to be annoyed by aspects of her nature - notably her inability to develop super-human physical, mental and emotional traits - she's much more accepting of it as well. She doesn't always seem comfortable in her new skin, either.

Distinctive Features: Infinity has big, red eyes which can be very expressive. Her tear ducts are darker than normal, almost black. She also has a mild static charge built up in her, all the time; some theorize that this is related to her father’s energy experiments.

Known Powers: Infinity has no known powers.

General History: Cataclysm and Shale weren’t a likely pairing. She was a young marvel, just erupted and full of hope. She joined the Project immediately and was put in the North American branch. She was bright, young – only twenty – and eager.

Shale, on the other hand, was a geologist nerd even after his eruption. His eruption happened late in his life, when he was forty. He was cute but not a heartthrob, which no doubt disappointed his wife. He opted not to join the Project, instead taking a prestigious research grant in at Columbia University. While living in New York City, he met members of the Teragen and gradually joined their ranks. He and his wife had been drifting apart, and with his allegiance to them, she sued for divorce. Shale didn’t contest it or demand full custody of their three children. Instead, he embraced Teras.

They met at a party. At first, she was appalled by him, but Shale was much smarter than her. He was able to talk her into further conversation. Slowly, they developed a true friendship, which developed into more. Their respective allegiances kept them apart for a while, but at Shale’s urging, Cataclysm began to really consider the world, the state of things. It was the beginning of the end of her relationship with Project Utopia. In time, she publically renounced the Project and joined the Teragen.

Shale and Cataclysm never married; they felt that was a baseline institution. They were both that rarest of novas: fertile. In time, Cataclysm was with child. The two were happy and excited for the future – until the first of the Motherhunters came for them. The couple fought them off and went deep underground. In time, they were placed in the burgeoning Nursery. Cataclysm remained there until her daughter was born.

Mal was present for her birth and the first to hold the child. As he looked down at her, he declared, “You are the future of Teras.” Cataclysm and Shale were given no choice; Infinity was left there at Mal’s insistence, and they have seen her only one other time, when her brother, Potential, was born six years later.

Infinity grew up in the Nursery with her peers. Mal paid special attention to her, becoming a true father figure to her rather than the figurehead he was to the other children. Scripture, accordingly, paid her more heed as well. If he understood why Mal favored her so, he never gave any indication.

As she grew, everyone but Mal watched and waited for her greatness to shine forth. As it took longer and longer for the power to surface, people became impatient. By the time she was twelve, there were whispers that she was a quantum dud. Tests done by those sensitive to quantum fluctuations show that Infinity’s got a lot of raw power. But she’s like a warhead with no detonator – terrible and powerful and utterly impotent.

Slowly, hope turned to pity and scorn. Some of her peers in the Nursery, jealous at the attention she’d received all her life, found payback to be delicious. Some were smug in their new superiority. There were two who weren’t: Norman wasn’t one of those who mocked or allowed her to see his pity. The other was a recent arrival – the baby who’d arrived in Chrysalis and awoke a man.

When Norman started to leave more and more, Infinity started to leave herself. Though only fifteen, she took a job for the C-Z; they had uses for a nova who was nova in name only. That started occasionally trips out of the Nursery to work for the baselines. If that made her a baseline whore, so be it. Mal had nothing negative to say about it, which surprised many. Infinity was making her own choices, free of baseline morals, which was the core of Teras.

Her actions led her to make allies among the Yakuza, namely for saving the life of Sasaki “Taihen-Chikara” Takeo of the Nakata Gumi. He was a fairly powerful nova himself and Infinity’s actions earned his gratitude. Further, her ability to annoy “Sassy” (as she called him sometimes) earned her the respect of Katsuro Eiji (who’s not fond of his given name and avoids using it in introductions). Finally, her brother, though too young to wield much influence, loves her dearly.

Aberrations

MinorRed Eyes – Cataclysm had bright red eyes, which Infinity inherited from her mother.

MinorStatic Discharge – Regardless of humidity or air, touching Infinity can cause a static shock.

MinorBlack Tears – Shale, her father, had black tears, and Infinity inherited those from him.

Minor - Black Light Glow - A gift from Sin Eater, she glows with low level ultra-violet light, like a black light, as this light is invisible to the human spectrum it affects more what she's wearing or holding then her actual appearance, except with regards to equipment or nova's with the ability to see UV light, or around things that glow under UV light.

MediumMega-Zero – Infinity can't develop Mega-Attributes. She can develop enhancements, but they operate as if she had a zero die pool. The only a nova with this flaw can develop mega-attributes above 0 is with a teacher who possesses Quantum Instruction, within Archetype during Chrysalis only, or though the transformational effects of Planck Scaling - A weaker (Minor) version of this aberration deals with only physical, mental or social mega attributes, and a stronger (Major) version even keeps them from developing mega attributes ever.

MediumOblivious Beauty and Charm – Infinity is aware that she’s more beautiful than before, but she’s also unaware of the extent of that change. As a result, she’s doesn’t quite believe when people tell her how attractive and amazing she is.

MediumUgly Girl – Other women who stand within ten meters of Infinity appear to have an appearance of at least equal to Infinity, regardless of their actual stat. This is a quantum effect and only nova's who possess Mega-Ugly are immune, as they are super-humanly uglier then she is. In addition, women who have an appearance equal to hers seem to be slightly more attractive, gaining a +1 appearance when compared to her only.
