Background/History: Some two hundred years in the future man has managed to harness certain supernatural energies, creating a world where science has been outlawed and magic reigns supreme. However, it is not a peaceful world, and in the absence of technological weapons, magical ones have been invented. Known as "Gears," these biological weapons are made from a variety of organic materials, including humans and animals. Possessing superhuman strength and endurance, they are carefully designed to be obedient to their human masters.
Dizzy is one such Gear. In fact, she is a half-breed, born of a Gear/human union. Abandoned as an infant, she was taken in by an elderly couple. However, the speed with which she grew frightened the neighbors, not to mention what happened when she grew her tail and wings. Realizing she was a Gear, the villagers decided to banish her, but her foster parents hid her away on the forest, where she stays, caring for the local wildlife and learning more and more about the world.
Personality/Motivation: Despite her young age (she is little more than three years old, chronologically), Dizzy has the emotional maturity of a woman in her late teens or early twenties. She loves to learn and thirsts after knowledge of any kind. Naturally, she is distrustful of humans, and passionately hates mankind's wars and environmentally destructive habits. Although not a pacifist by any means, Dizzy hates to fight, and often argues with her wings (Necro and Undine) in an effort to keep them from attacking (or seriously harming) others. If pressed, however, she can defend herself, often with destructive results. For their part, Necro and Undine (a.k.a. "Death" and "Life") are more prone to use violence, especially Necro.
Quote: "Please, I don't want to hurt anyone. Please leave now."
"Please go away. I don't want you to get hurt because of me."
"Please tell me, am I your enemy?"
Powers/Tactics: As a Gear half-breed, Dizzy has a number of unique powers. For starters her superhuman physiology means she doesn't age in the same way humans do and is immune to human diseases and illnesses. Her wings allow her to make great leaps and even fly, while her tail can be used as an effective weapon. Her more supernatural powers are described as follows:
Dizzy
Necro
Undine
One thing to remember when dealing with Dizzy in a fight—she may not want to fight, but her wings are another story. Often they will engage a foe while she struggles to stop them (the game has her trying to drag Necro's arms down when he's grabbing for a target). One or other wing will often distract her, allowing the other wing to get an attack in. And, of course, the wings often squabble with one another, as well as Dizzy. Any combat encounter with Dizzy should be memorable simply for the sheer strangeness of it all. As a final note, Dizzy may lose her action by arguing with her wings. This shouldn’t happen all that often, but can help balance out the fact she effectively can act 12 times in a Turn.
Appearance: Dizzy has the face and figure of a slender young woman. She stands 5'6" and weighs 123 pounds, and although she looks to be around 18 or so, Dizzy is, in fact, only three years old. Her hair is bluish or blue-black, her eyes reddish brown, and her tail is glossy black. Her right wing (Necro) is an unpleasant greenish-gray color and in battle appears a hooded and robed skeletal figure. Her left wing (Undine) is white or blue-white, and in battle appears as a beautiful woman with long flowing hair. Dizzy's costume consists of white boots with black plates and blue trim, black knee-high stockings, and a black "dress" with virtually no front (except for some strategically-placed straps), and long white angel-wing sleeves. A black choker, a large yellow bow in her hair (and a smaller one on her tail) completes the outfit.
Designer's Notes: Dizzy (her name is a reference to former Guns N' Roses keyboardist Darren "Dizzy" Reed) is from a video game titled Guilty Gear X. The game is set in the future (roughly 2200 AD) after a prolonged war between humanity and biological weapons known as "gears." I've not played the game myself, but felt the character designs and descriptions were far to interesting to not turn into useful (and playable) HERO System characters.
Dizzy might be one of the most complex adaptations I've ever done. I had a heck of a time finding out what her moves were called (They might not even have names, at least in the original versions!) and then struggled with how to define them. I'll admit, I simplified things a lot, as some of her attacks would probably push her point totals into the stratosphere.
As written, Dizzy makes an excellent Fantasy Hero encounter. If you like her character concept, but not the way its been presented, then change it! Dizzy should retain her half-human heritage, however, with the other half being demon, dragon, angel, fairy, or what-have-you. Alter her wings to fit the powers you'd like her to have. She could, for example, have powers of fire and ice, or light and dark, or similar elemental opposites. In addition, there is no reason why Dizzy can't have spells of her own, as well as skill with weapons. And if you find her hand-to-hand skills aren't powerful enough, give her two damage classes.
