Name: Mary Prudence Gough Nicknames: She hates her first name, so she goes by Prudence, her middle name (her maternal grandmother's name), sometimes shortened to Pru. Pronouns: she/her Age: 21 Birthday: 31 December 2000
Occupation: Motorcycle mechanic/welder at Star City Iron Works custom motorcycle shop.
Hobbies:
Her Motorcycle -- Her baby! Prudence rides a big ol' bumblebee-yellow chopped Harley Softail she customized herself, a much bigger motorcycle than one might expect a diminutive woman to be able to handle. She loves the speed and thrill of riding, of course, but she loves the solitude too, just her and her bike with the wind in her face. She also loves the "going no place at all" sense of riding for the sake of riding and will go on rides to nowhere just because she can. Tinkering on it is a favorite pastime of hers too, fine-tuning and tweaking how it works (and looks).
Audio Books -- Whoever invented audio books is her hero. They make it so much easier to keep up with her favorite authors while doing other things, like working or knitting. Prudence's preferred genre is mythic fiction/urban fantasy, authors like Emma Bull and Charles deLint. She loves the idea of crossing the line between ordinary reality and the fantastical, that something magical is waiting just around the corner. She is typically seen wearing her big studio headphones while working, listening to a book, only taking them off when she has to put on her welding mask to weld something.
Knitting -- Everybody gets scarves and gloves and cozy socks for Christmas. Prudence finds knitting relaxing, almost meditative, even though she can easily focus on other things like listening to a book or carrying on a conversation while knitting. She enjoys the cognitive dissonance of a punky little thing like her doing something as girly as knitting. She doesn't follow patterns much at all, preferring to make up her own designs from visual references; she's knitted enough that she knows how to do something like knit socks pretty much from memory and feel. And she takes requests.
Pros:
BulldogPersistent -- Prudence is possessed of a dogged determination and tenacity. She's a small fierce terrier who won't stop working on a task until she has accomplished it, even long after she should have just given up (it becomes a matter of principle at that point). A willful, obstinate little thing, this definitely plays in her favor -- if you want s**t done, she gets s**t done. Nothing is really too impossible for her to tackle once she's got the notion in her head of doing it. This is why she's the one who usually gets sicced on truculent locked-up bolts at work.
Happy Go LuckyGood-Natured -- Prudence has a generally happy disposition, though she is happiest when she is working on a bike. She's not exactly what you'd call a people person, but she doesn't dislike people; she's friendliest with her colleagues and people she knows. Luckily it's pretty easy to become her friend, as she's quite approachable, with a ready smile and quick laugh. No grumpy gus, she has a dry, whimsical sense of humor that sometimes goes over one's head. She loves to tell stories of the small coastal Oregon town where she was born.
What Does This Button Do?Inquisitive -- Curious as a cat, she wants to know ALL THE THINGS. Prudence loves nothing more than poking at mysteries, sticking her nose in unexplored places and shaking the box to try to figure out what's inside. She is quick to pick through knotty problems, patiently studying them and analyzing them until she can take them apart and find out how they tick. She loves learning new things and is a quick study, even (and especially) when she is studying on her own. And her patience usually pays off -- she's always finding new mysteries to pick apart.
Cons:
You're Not The Boss of MeContrary -- With Prudence, it's always Opposites Day. She is contrary as anything and will deliberately do what she's told she can't or shouldn't do just to show 'em (this is the best method to get her to do something, by the way, tell her she can't or shouldn't do it). Especially if the alleged reason she can't or shouldn't do it is because she's a girl. She never accepts things at face value and has to try it/find out for herself. She was one of those little kids who always asked "WHY?" and drove everyone nuts. She still does.
MicromanagerControl Freak -- Oh, how Prudence hates relinquishing control. It's why she learned how to be a motorcycle mechanic in the first place, because she didn't trust anyone else to work on her bike to her satisfaction. The girl can't stand not being in charge of a project. She likes to control a task from start to finish, and if she requires help on something she will hover and supervise and drive you up the wall. She'd actually much rather do it herself (and so would everyone else, pretty much). Needless to say, she makes her boss and co-workers crazy sometimes.
Whatcha Doing?Nosy -- This is the downside of her being so inquisitive. Prudence wants to know ALL THE THINGS about what's going on in your life and will poke you and prod you til she gets answers. She's quite patient -- she knows she'll wear you down eventually and you'll spill the beans. She's not a gossip, so your secrets are safe with her, but she's still an impossible busybody who will stick her nose in anyone and everyone's business if she gets even the slightest hint that something is going on that she's not in on.
General Appearance
Eyes: Turquoise blue, almond-shaped, wide-set and bright. She rarely wears any makeup.
Hair: Bright red, long and loosely wavy down past her shoulders with heavy shaggy fringe, cropped close on the left side.
Face: Prudence's face is mostly round, with a pert nose and average mouth, chin and ears. She's clear-skinned and lightly tanned from riding her motorcycle without a helmet.
Body: Pru is a small girl, standing at about 5'2" and built petite and delicate as a china doll. Her delicate looks are deceptive, though. ,She is surprisingly strong for her small size, and can muscle a stubborn bolt or wrestle her big Harley around with relative ease, mostly by sheer willfulness and throwing her entire body into it..
Clothes: Pru dresses like a boy refugee from the late 60s. She prefers to wear vintage second-hand t-shirts or tanks with clever slogans or band logos on them, ripped-up and patched jeans, and soft calf-high hippie boots and knit neckscarves even in summer. When she's riding her bike, she adds big steel-toe combat boots and a black motorcycle jacket with cords and s**t hanging off the shoulders, littered with pins and buttons and patches. For work, she wears a short-sleeved black Dickies work shirt that's way too big for her over a plain tank top and grease-stained jeans along with the combat boots.
Sailor Scout Attack: Minefield Hazard For this attack, Antlia creates a handful of balls of energy (about 3) and scatters them to submerge into the ground during a battle in the path of her opponent. If/when the enemy steps on one, it pops up like an underwater mine and explodes. The force of the explosion knocks the enemy back several feet and can do mild bashing damage. Duration: 15 seconds/1 post (kaboom) AoE: 10 feet from Antlia (the area of spread of the mines), single target Uses: up to 3 times per day
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Minefield Danger For this attack, Antlia creates several balls of energy (about 5) and scatters them to submerge into the ground in a closely-packed spread in the path of her opponent.during a battle. If/when the enemy steps on one, it pops up like an underwater mine and explodes. The force of the explosion knocks the enemy back several feet and can do moderate bashing damage; if they land on another mine, it too explodes. Duration: 30 seconds/2 posts; 1st post kaboom, 2nd post fallout from explosion/subsequent explosion AoE: 15 feet from Antlia (the area of spread of the mines), one or more targets Uses: up to 3 times per day
Eternal Sailor Attack: Fire Torpedoes! For this attack, Antlia physically submerges herself into the ground and, using an energy periscope, locates and approaches her target. Once she is within range, she bursts out of the ground like a submarine breaching the waves; holding out her arms, she shouts the attack name and a massive energy torpedo fires off of each arm, striking Antlia's target and exploding. The force of the torpedo explosion knocks the enemy back several feet and does severe bashing damage. Duration: 45 seconds/3 posts; 1st post submerge, 2nd post fire torpedoes, 3rd post kaboom AoE: 20 feet from Antlia, single target Uses: once per day
HELLO TATTER! Congrats again on your raffle win! Let's get Pru ready for play!
For starters, I love her names -- both the Civ side and Powered. Fantastic all around!
( On an additional personal note <3 the motorcycle mechanic/bike shop! Got a civ myself who most likely has a bike from there. >.> )
Civ side looks great! 100% ready to go there!
On to the powered side of things -- Name, good! Sphere, yours!
Powers. I 100% absolutely appreciate that you went for it and embraced things that embody the sphere. Reading over your ideas has been a delight.
We have one small request before we can approve her attacks! Depth Charges were developed during WWI, which started in 1914 -- a little bit outside of our prior to 1899 window for spheres, etc. Naval mines, however, have been used for a LOT longer. If you can update Antlia's Sailor Scout Attack to also use mines for the inspiration/visuals we should be good to go!
Quote me whenever you're ready to move on!

hi, and thanks so much! ^__^ I'm so glad you like her! I've made the requested change (it was a pretty easy one) and am ready for further review! heart
Thank you for the updates -- and for adding in the number of orbs as well! Along those lines, we're going to ask for one more small adjustment!
Sailor Arsinoe has an approved attack along similar lines -- approved for 3 at Basic and 5 at Super. That would still leave 1 mine per 3ft at Super and with a knockback the moment the first mine is triggered it would still just about guarantee that an opponent hit by one was still hit by the secondary boom of being knocked into a second mine as well.
Once that's adjusted we'll get Pru approved for you!
