Ishtar

/*Scout*/

/*McCabe*/

(a.k.a. Orithyia)

Ishtar, briefly known as Orithyia, is a Brute-type Rogue active in Cape St. Joan, Oregon. She is the leader of The Nymphs.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Ishtar is of average height, with a muscular build and tanned skin. Her hair is long enough to not be completely covered by her helmet and has thus been revealed as being of a honey blonde colour.

Special abilities

While the process by which this effect is achieved is currently unknown, Ishtar's powers grant her super-strength and enhanced durability. While her strength seems to manifest normally, her durability seems to be almost absolute: It is seemingly impossible to damage her actual body, though she still wears armour in spite of this.

Apparel & Accessories

Ishtar's costume is a set of armour that, due to her Brute powers runs contrary to all sensible armour design. Consisting of bravers, gloves, boots, a helmet and a torso piece, the armour leaves all major joints exposed or at least not properly protected. All pieces are made of a some sort of metal of golden colour, with additional stylised elements and finishes being coloured in red.
Her helmet is made in the style of a Corinthian helmet, covering her entire face, but leaving some of her hair visible.
She also usually wields a sword and shield, the latter of whom depicts upon it an eight-pointed star. All pieces are suspected to be of tinker-making due to their high durability. Earlier designs of her costume included a pitch-black cape, though she seems to since have given up on wearing it.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Scout was born into a rich family of doctors in Portland, Oregon.

/*At the age of 9, she was replaced, but remained unaware of her powers for a while.*/

At age twelve, she was kidnapped by a super by the name of Impulse. She was rescued by the local authorities and her captor imprisoned. When she turend fifteen, her captor died while in prison. Having unknowingly attunded to his original, she awoke to both his and her own durability power. Over the following years, she experimented with her power, still beliving them to be the only ones she was given.
Due to her parents' anti-super stance, she kept her abilities a secret, which lead to increased secrecy and eventual falling out between her and them. Leaving her home to attend college in Cape St. Joan, she tried to cut contacts. When her parents cut off her money supply, she took on massive personal debts to finish college. Now in debt and with no job, she quickly turned rogue and began committing small crimes under the name Orithyia.
During "D-Day", a super with a projected aura and former classmate of Scout, unaware of their own abilities, perished in the explosion in East Part. Winter awoke to her second stolen power, clueing her into the precise nature of her abilities soon enough. Growing increasingly bold as a result of understanding her abilities better and better and with the prospect of gaining more and more powers over her lifetime, she decided to form her own team to facilitate the "gathering" of more powers via forced confrontation and contact with other supers and steal money to pay off her debts.

Intellectual Characteristics

Scout is refined and elegant, with an air of mystique around her. She speaks with authority, but is friendly to most people upon frist meeting. She treats those around her respectfully, hiding underneath a cunning and calculating person that has developed an overinflated sense of self-worth (reflected in her rebranding).
