| Lieutenant in the Infamous | |

Supergroup: The Infamous (Rank: Wanted)
Personality
Many people who deal with Hexane find her quiet, and liable to fade into the background. They also find her quite willing to lend a helping hand, in exchange for a favor or two later. And she does remember every one who owes her.
Among her supergroup members she is somewhat more open, or at least gives the appearance of it. She often seems to be surpressing laughter about something or other and will adopt an enthusiastic 'genki' girl persona if she knows it will irritate those around her Most often this is her teammate Lord Omega whom she cannot seem to resist baiting.
Her temper is considerable though, and while she is carefull to keep from exploding in front of people, she will harbour grudges for years, waiting for the perfect opportunity for revenge.
Powers
Hexane was schooled in her family's martial arts, though mostly in for a defensive and support role. She was assigned a group of shinobi at an early age and has been leading them in battle for years.
Ninja
Hexane has five highly trained ninja at her beck and call. They have served her ever since she was a young girl and are extremely loyal. She also has signed a summoning contract with a minor Oni, though whether this is normal for her family or not is not known.
Dark Miasma
Hexane's family's school of martial arts centers around the ability to pull in and focus the darkness of the soul for melee combat. Hexane's skills are strongest when she is acting a in a support role, using her family's art to harass enemies and keep them off balance while her shinobi deal with them.
The only melee technique from her family school that Hexane has demonstrated is a rapid punch/chakra point strike combination that superficially resembles the Sands of Mu or Shadow Maul.
However, various comments made by Hexane seem to indicate her family does not consider their school to be accessing the netherworld and that they find insinutations that they do insulting.
Teleportation
In the great, possibly cliched, ninja tradition Hexane is fond of appearing and disappearing in clouds of smoke. Her escape from a group of Longbow in the middle of a large open area in Atlas Park has lead to some speculation that she is atcually teleporting and using smoke bombs to cover her tracks.
Fitness
As with most practitioners of martial arts, Hexane is very physically fit, though her endurance, speed and jumping ability border on the superhuman. This is likely a result of the advanced techniques used by her family school.
Abilities
Hexane's schooling included both bodyguard and courtesan training, although she has let many of her softer skills lapse somewhat since she broke from her family. She's an excellent liar, and handles the Infamous' finances with a minimum of embezzlement.
Weaknesses and Limitations
While her endurance boarders on the superhuman, Hexane's ability to support her minions during long, drawn out battles is somewhat limited.
Hexane is not capable of going toe to toe with most other Capes or Villains, a fact which irritates her to no end. When forced into single combat with out the aid of her henchmen she is often quickly overwhelmed and will attempt to escape by first frightening or paralyzing her opponent with one of several techniques from her family school and then fleeing in a cloud of smoke.
Someone with a specific grudge against Hexane could probably make use of her temper, which while it has a slow fuse is rather volatile, and her long running feud with her family. She also appears to be incapable of getting along with her fellow teammate Lord Omega for any significant period of time and will go out of her way to bait the killing machine if not held in check by their other teammates.
Character History
The eldest of two daughters born in Sacremento California to a shinobi family that traditionally provided exclusive and very expensive enforcers to the Yakuza, Hexane was the families heir. She was taught their family's style of ninjutsu and assigned several retainers to guard her. Her instructors taught her many things, including that power was all that mattered.
Then her family decided that a marriage of alliance was necessary and Hexane found herself engaged. Her fiance expected a traditional wife, obedient in every way. Hexane appeared to accept her family's decission, but on the first day of her honeymoon a hotel employee found the body of her husband in their room. Hexane vanished, taking with her as much of her families money as she could, and her five ninja retainers.
She reappeared sometime later in the Rogue Isles, working as a member of the villain group The Infamous.
Her sister is currently operating in the Rogue Isles under the code name Wasureraru (she blames the mispelling on the stupid gaijin who was filling in the forms). She is hunting her older sister, intending to make an example of her.
Unlike many members of The Infamous Hexane has no specific grudge against the hero group The Legendary, or against any of its members. However, she is quite willing to help the others, and delights in tormenting Minuet Mac Hine and trying to get Superball in trouble.
Along with a number of other members of The Infamous, Hexane crashed the Mac Hine/Heissman wedding. However she did not participate in the ensuing violence and spent most of the brawl with Ingeous Nadir working their way through the "open" bar at the reception hall.
It is unknown if Minuet Mac Hine/Heissman appreciated the 'get out of one (1) ninja kidnapping free' card Hexane left as a wedding gift.
Trivia
- Chose her alias from a WHMIS data sheet when she couldn't think up anything better while she was being booked by the PPD.
- Handles The Infamous' finances for TechHead, justifies her embezlement by claiming that her teammates would be suspicious if she did not.
