◈ tab one of the four horsemen motorcyclepeople of the apocalypse
◈ tab motorcycles because they had to modernise eventually, though she does still enjoy the odd equestrian endeavour
◈ tab born of the minds of man and shaped by lucifer himself, war is conflict made flesh
◈ tab an apex predator poured into a human skin, like a starlet into a silk dress
◈ tab she's spent thousands of years blending in seamlessly
◈ tab looks 25 and always has, regardless of who she's been whilst walking the earth
◈ tab she's the one of the four that has integrated herself best into the world of men
◈ tab ie the only one who would be able to get a starbucks without incident
◈ tab though it's the effect that she has on other people that really matters
◈ tab she causes conflict around her wherever she goes, petty arguments become fist fights; fist fights become riots
◈ tab last time the end of the world was happening, the anti-christ and his friends dissipated her physical form through the power of friendship and imagination
◈ tab she's still bitter about it
◈ tab generally doesn't get involved in the fighting herself, because it might make the bureaucrats in sky suspicious of another apocalypse
◈ tab she's ambivalent; deriving a sick joy at watching humanity tear itself apart, but does fancy joining in the fun sometimes
◈ tab has assumed countless identities, though tends to favour names associated with red when she's not her true self
◈ tab she's a bad habit of getting itchy feet, having worked a very long list of jobs
◈ tab including but not limited to: journalist, weapons merchant, waitress, tour guide, smuggler, artist's muse
◈ tab seems to have an ability to make people forget her too, as when she leaves no one seems to look for her
◈ tab since climbing her way out of human consciousness, she's been missing her flaming sword
◈ tab though she's more than capable with any weapon. anything can be used to disturb the peace if you're creative enough
◈ tab got in-canon (implied) horny when she came face to face with a nuke console, and the console got pretty riled up too
◈ tab eyes that you would swear were orange, waist-length, wild hair that is a true auburn
◈ tab more than happy to use any and all of humanity's advances to her advantage, but doesn't really give a s**t about them as a group
◈ tab ultimately they're beneath her, playthings she gets to smash together when she likes
◈ tab however human she may seem, she's ultimately an agent of hell, and it would be difficult to convince her otherwise

"Who was I - when we first met?"
"You'll have to forgive me." War's voice smoothed over the words, her charm an
open flytrap. "It's not often that I get to met people for a second time - let alone a fourth
or a fifth - and I'm trying to recall things correctly. The people I meet don't have great track
record of staying alive, and I tend not to keep track of the shifts I've shed." She was
telling the truth, mostly. Horsemen had long memories, and this should have meant a
perfect recall of whatever guise she had on at a first encounter, but she'd found that the
only memories worth holding onto were the violent ones. It was her area of expertise, so
why would she linger in the boring peace times when she could keep the comforting
memories of bloodshed?
She thought for a moment, the military snare of her nails on the table louder than they'd
any right to be. In the end it didn't matter much; the names and the jobs were different,
but whether she was more girlish and coy, or whip smart and sly, War always ultimately
playing herself. Still, she'd found over the years that people, especially the men, liked it
when you withheld something. That you were a puzzle to solve, and all they had to do
was turn the right piece to open you up. How many times had someone killed for her,
thinking that would be the key to caging her, only to find themselves impaled upon their
own sword? Sidetracked by her thoughts, she smiled like a knife.
"Cerise, maybe. The academic, in town for a research post - she was fun. Or Sienna
Grant? Finding herself, here for a good time, fiery. But pliable, with enough force."
War was just amusing herself now, shuffling through the names like cards in a deck. The
ice in her glass was melting, she'd need another drink soon, if she was planning
on staying put.
War laughed; a sound that was oddly high and musical compared to her usual predator-
lurking-in-tall-grass voice. Her hair fell over her face and she waited a moment before
swiping it off to the side, orange eyes still burning through her tresses. "Not that it
matters, I suppose. You clocked me soon enough." The chair creaked as she leaned
back in it. "The second person ever to do so, from outside the standard rack of players,
of course."
This was interesting, almost confessional in the way she said it. War had no shame, there
was no room in her for that feeling, but if she were human she'd likely be feeling it. "A
monk, or some holy man, I think. Passionate but there was a weakness in him that meant
I could bore my way into his soul with little protest," recalled War, "all it took was a
well-timed bit of washing some shifts in a river and he was mine." Wet muslin clinging
to flawless skin was always a good way of getting yourself some attention.
Her open palm hitting the tabletop was a sudden shot, jolting herself out of the past. Little
point in thinking to where the wars were, she figured, when there were so many places
that wars could be. "My round, I think." The horseman of the second seal slipped a
hand into the pocket of the jeans she was wearing, fetching out a slim wallet. Hell's
coffers were always full. "Did you want another glass?"

tab ✦ previously known as striker, the sidekick to now-retired hero the lance
tab ✦ flick's stepping out of her mentor's shadow and into the light, but is struggling with the pressure of being her own hero
tab ✦ she's been in the hero biz on and off since she was 15. unethical? probably
tab ✦ first discovered her powers when she blew up her school's computer lab
tab ✦ her family was largely absent, she was left to her own devices most of the time
tab ✦ so when the lance offered her some training she jumped at the chance for it
tab ✦ from that point on heroics took over her life, and she baaaaarely scraped through high school
tab ✦ on the rare occasion she's not working at night, she likes to ride her bike through the streets
tab ✦ it's a way of taking her mind off things, makes her feel less like a hero and more like a person
tab ✦ suffers from some intense impostor syndrome, so covers it up by being loud, partying, and showing off
tab ✦ will get 2am pizza with you and insist you go to another club
tab ✦ her real identity isn't public yet, but may still introduce herself as 'flick' rather than 'rapture'
tab ✦ very Big Online, has a good reputation with the general public for being a well-meaning, if messy, presence
tab ✦ 100% named herself after the blondie song

◉. rapture is able to generate, absorb, and attack with live electric currents; this looks a lot like wielding bolts of lightning
◉. she's able 'ride' on current (e.g. power lines), meaning she can 'hide' inside electronic devices
◉. able to 'overload' items that use electricity so that they either stop functioning, or explode
▽. her main weakness when using her powers is water; a bucketful is enough to make her send off a few errant sparks
▽. submerging her in water whilst her power is active electrifies anything else in that water, while taking away her control of the current
▽. if she's hiding in the current for an extended period of time, she runs the risk of being trapped there (she has no idea what would happen, and that's terrifying enough)
▽. would probably explode your phone if she tried to charge it

» ▋in order to earn a living she currently owns and runs a magic supply shop in london

» ▋at the moment her clientele mostly consist of unbearable hipsters who want to cast their first spell, and actual supernatural beings

» ▋the shop makes an alright profit, but the real money comes from the potions etc that she custom makes for people
» ▋luck potion, elixir of strength, charm to tie to your router to make your wifi faster? you got it

» ▋her familiar, going by the name of jasper (obviously fake but not her place to seek the real one) is an ermine stoat who is a lot smarter than he looks, and has incredibly sharp teeth.

xxxxxxxxxxx░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
xxxxxxxxxxxava vladimirovna ; simulacra
tab ✦ BREAKING NEWS: Ava Vladimirovna, Terra Alta Star columnist and
tab ✦ "Not Waving but Drowning" author, has confirmed that she and her husband are
tab ✦ separating after a decade of marriage.
tab ✦ well ********. what now? ten years of marriage down the toilet.
tab ✦ she'd never stopped using her maiden name, so at least the mail didn't need to change.
tab ✦ still bi-coastal, though she's kicked him out of the TA brownstone and travels to the place in LA for a break
tab ✦ "at least it'll make a good book someday" is what everyone says, all wringing hands and cringing smiles.
tab ✦ she hangs back on the divorce papers, leaving the door open for him a little.
tab ✦ there were so many things wrong, her suspicion of his infidelity was the excuse she'd been searching for.
tab ✦ he didn't deny it - he said nothing, and that may as well have been a "yes".
tab ✦ the paper suggests a piece, the publicist suggests silence, her friends suggest revenge: she takes a holiday. barcelona is supposed to be nice this time of year.
tab ✦ and when she comes back there's a dozen finished essays in her bag.
tab ✦ not for anyone to read, not yet. she calls them her 'dickinson dossier' and laughs: "after I'm gone."
tab ✦ back to work, then. life is s**t but at least she can write about other things too.
tab ✦ a column a week, occasional round tables, sometimes a podcast.
tab ✦ and then at night: a sensible drink in a quiet bar, and a slip behind the mirror
tab ✦ if anyone asks, she tells them she's a super, but would only say she was able to teleport.
tab ✦ a white lie that covers the trail of blood.
tab ✦ she's not who she used to be: a creature slinking out of panes of glass and slitting throats
tab ✦ no one ever knew it was her, she was careful about that.
tab ✦ terra alta was never perfect but it certainly didn't need to get any worse.
tab ✦ she was young, exorcising her demons through violent means.
tab ✦ in the day she would sit at the typewriter and bleed, at night others she would be the edge on which others would cut themselves.
tab ✦ simulacra didn't start fights: she finished them.
tab ✦ though, of course, simulacra's career came to an end when a fight almost cost her her life.
tab ✦ she'd become too lax, too cocky, and was close to abandoning her humanity altogether
tab ✦ so the creature beyond the mirror was put to rest, and not soon after she was married.
tab ✦ funny coincidence, that.
tab ✦ "Hey guys, welcome back to my channel! So to mark Ava's return to the Star, here are some Vladmiriovna works to know":
tab ✦ unruly bodies: her breakthrough piece! a series of anonymous interviews with fighters in the super underground circuit, later published as a book. written 18 years ago.
tab tab ✦ while some interviewees later came forward, others are still unknown. she guards their identities fiercely.
tab tab ✦ this is one of the pieces that brought modern super-culture to the mainstream.
tab ✦ not waving but drowning: her first collection of personal essays, about her early 20s in Terra Alta, as well as being the Star's youngest female columnist (at the time of writing).
tab tab ✦ if you're under 30 and ever been heartbroken: you've probably read this, or someone has bought it for you at least.
tab tab ✦ also notable for it's rather... explicit discussions of her love life.
tab ✦ subject as object: her second collection about the struggles of women in the arts have had to be seen as creators rather than just muses.
tab tab ✦ not the easiest read, honestly it's kinda dense.
tab ✦ bestride the narrow world: an op-ed about the impact of bette du bois/saint joan on popular culture. a pro-super piece that earned her a lot of ire.

tab ◉. what are the arts but a reflection of ourselves? and what are reflections but a confrontation with the artist?
tab ◉. ava is able to use any reflective surface as a means of teleportation, travelling through a demi-plane "mirror world" at superhuman speeds
tab ◉. she is also able to manipulate of shards of glass, no matter how large or small
tab ◉. this means she can use larger pieces of glass as a shield if needed. but it’s still glass so, only when she has to
tab ◉. can also use any mirror to look through another mirror elsewhere
tab ◉. started learning krav magah at 26 after someone bought her a class as a joke birthday gift
tab ▽. no light = no reflections. a mirror hidden by a sheet, or a room drenched in darkness is closed off to her
tab ▽. her powers are based more around movement and quick strikes, wouldn't fare well against a heavy-hitter if she couldn't get away
tab ▽. can take only objects or living things she can carry into the mirror.
tab ▽. anything left behind in the mirror world is stuck there until she gets back, and it’s not a nice place
tab ▽. only able to “see” through whole mirrors, but could still use a broken piece to teleport through or as a weapon
tab ▽. ava's worked hard to get where she is professionally. would refuse to attack anyone connected either to her or the paper in case it would endanger her career
