Lily says she is from a far future. Not THE far future. Just a possible one.
The human race was dying out. The world slowly giving way to a mysterious "blight". She was sent back in time in a last ditch effort to change the course of history and prevent the blight from taking over and to prevent humanity from dying out. She was changed, made into the ultimate warrior, given a set of equipment and resources to draw upon, and sent back in time to see if things could be put right.
She succeeded.
Lily went back uptime and everything she knew was gone. Replaced with gleaming cities miles high, ships going to and fro between the stars.
She found no place for herself in this world. And she found she deeply missed the quiet melancholy of the Earth she had grown up in.
So she came back in time again and tried to find ways to change it back. Sent to the Zig after one of her industrial sabotage operations went bad, she languished for months until Arachnos broke her and many other out.
This is the story she tells.
Now she will see what new destiny she can forge for herself.

Heroes
While she is technically wanted by many of the world's law enforcement agencies. Lily has cooperated on numerous occasions with Heroes to combat the greater threat of the Rikti, as well as other threats to the world that transcend human laws. While Lily respects no-one's rules but her own, she is NOT a cold killer. She has even passed along informational tidbits about certain threats stemming from Arachnos and Crey that heroes wouldn't have been able to find out on their own. Thus she has gained a sort of grudging respect from heroes. Some even consider her a friend.
Some heroes she has worked with include:
Badb: She and Badb get along famously. As a double-team, they are an amazing wrecking crew, and they have often stopped by Pocket D after a run in the Rikti War Zone to carouse.
Emerald Blast: Lily thinks Emmy is fun. Weird, but fun. She thinks listening to her and Gamma Emission talk about their mutual "boytoy" Terrence Knight is a hoot.
Evangelia: While Eva is not exactly a friend per-se, Lily respects her. And will even follow her lead in battle.
Looney Toons: Lily doesn't really know what to make of Looney. She can tell his persona on in the field is an affectation. But she's never seen him off the field as of yet. So she doesn't know how far that persona extends. For now she respects his prowess and his flexibility when they've worked together. But he annoys her severely.
Mag Flashlight: Hasn't encountered him much away from the Rikti Warzone or the "D". They've had a few friendly bouts in the arena that were utterly inconclusive.
Pooky Da Imp: He amuses her greatly. She sometimes thinks his "appreciation" for the female form ought to annoy her, but somehow it never does.
Purrfect Scrapper: She'd never admit it outright. But Lily really thinks Sammy is about the cutest damn thing she's ever seen - even when she's attempted to sharpen her claws on Lily. As much as Lily knows that Sammy can take care of herself just fine, she'd go to the wall for the "HyperKitteh" and then some. No one better make Sammy cry when Lily is around, because they'll know PAIN...
Terrence Knight: They've worked together and fought against each other. He's the one man who can consistently take her down in one-on-one physical combat. She has yet to find a way to defeat him. She's worked with him in the RWZ on numerous occasions and has a great respect for his fighting ability. Yet they're cordial to each other and he's never been anything but a gentleman. She can understand the attraction that Emerald and Gamma have to him, though she doesn't actually share it.
Villains
Personality
((self-explanatory))
Powers
((Overview or synopsis of your character's powers. Followed by a more specific breakdown:) )
Primary Set
((Rename the heading here to the name of the character's primary powerset, and describe your character's selected powers.))
Secondary Set
((Likewise for the secondary set.))
Additional Powers
((These can be anything that is part of the character but doesn't belong to a specific power set or pool. Sands of Mu from Veteran's Rewards or stuff from Accolades should be listed in this section, along with your origin-specifc gimcrack power (throwing knives, apprentice charm, etc.).))
Travel
((Again, rename the heading. Repeat section if necessary.))
Power Pool
((Do you have powers from another pool that doesn't give you a travel power? Rename heading again. And repeat this section as necessary.))
Abilities
((Non-super abilities the character possesses, even if only in your concept or characterization -- skills and talents. This is where you plug in that paragraph or two you wrote back in the "Other Skills" thread last fall.))
Weaknesses and Limitations
((Not usually a game mechanic thing, obviously, so this is optional. But sometimes stuff comes out in play: Eva will run out of endurance quickly in a big combat without a buff, so I included that as a weakness. If you always seem to get nailed by stun or sleep attacks, you can list that here. Or if there's any particular attack type your powers *don't* defend against -- Eva, again, can shrug off almost every attack type except psionic.))
Equipment
((I've been including the GvE jump pack and Pocket D VIP card here. If you've got the Undead-Slaying Axe, Nemesis Staff or that funky wand from the Veteran's Rewards, or Conspiracy Theorist's ice pistol, they go here, too. Any temporary stuff you like, too, like the stealth suits and other toys you can buy at the bar in Pocket D's mini-arena area.))
Character History
((Just like it sounds.))
Battle Cries and Catch Phrases
((Optional))
Trivia
Lily is pretty much a full-time... Well some would say "villain" others would say "mercenary" if they're more charitable. She's walked all over the legal and moral lines so much it's difficult to categorize her. She would just say "I follow my own rules because I can."
But the absolute LAST thing anyone would suspect of her is that between various jobs/missions/bounty hunting/henching etc, that she supplements her income via online stock brokering and accounting under the assumed name of Erica Langley.
She doesn't appear in that persona very often (it takes some rather extensive make-up work to pull it off) so she's known as something of a recluse. But some very prominent people in both Paragon City and the Isles have had their books balanced and taxes done by her (including Statesman and Manticore, or so its rumored).
And it's the one activity of hers where she scrupulously follows the law. Particularly tax law.
"I may occasionally rob banks and break knees, but even I don't want the IRS after me. What do you think I am, crazy?" This article about a character is a stub -- a small, but growing, work in progress. If you're the creator of this character, why not consider expanding it?
