Notes

I originally created Priscilla Potts in Champions Online as a secretary werewolf. She had been through quite a few adventures and has participated in battles to save the universe from peril. Despite this, she is otherwise an ordinary civilian who likes chick flicks. She also enjoys apple martinis.

This incarnation of Priscilla is far different. Though she still enjoys apple martinis, her personality deviates from the traditional feminine woman of the new millennium. Instead, she is a quirky super hero sidekick with a love for her pipe wrench. She was originally intended to be an ordinary civilian, but due to character development and role play situations, she was soon developed into the person she is now. She is very obsessed with comic books, super heroes, and her pipe wrench.

IC

"I've never said this about anyone I've ever met, but Corey is one exception. He is the worst person I have ever met and I hope never to see him again. My prayers go out to Mr. and Mrs. Howlett, as well as Geoffry." ~ Marie Potts regarding Corey Howlett (Trying to be as polite as possible).

Dating Ad

Youtube - My girlfriend's crazy friend!

Paragon Singles Dating Service Ad is displayed on a black screen in bold white letters.

April 12th 2011 then appears below it after two seconds.

The screen fades into a camera facing a living room couch. The couch is very well decorated and there's a framed photograph of a blonde haired woman wearing a Victorian dress in steam punk attire. The photo is autographed 'Cathy Dane'.

Priscilla walks into the shot of the camera, appearing less than eager to do the video. She then sighs and takes a seat directly in front of the camera and faces it. She tries her best to smile.

"My name's Priscilla." She says. "I'm 26 years old and I'm your average girl geek. I like comic books, playing Reverse Attack: Origin, and..."

She then waves her pipe wrench casually. She taps her chin gently with it. Her smile grows wider and becomes sincere, as if she's discovered the meaning of life and it fills her with true happiness.

"My trusty pipe wrench. Anything that comes between me and it gets a swift whack to the dome. This thing ensures my safety in Paragon City. Don't get me wrong. The heroes do a great job. But I feel safer with this thing. I'd have gotten a gun, but the gun toting idiots ruined them for me. Besides, you don't have to buy ammunition for these amazing inventions. Feel free to call me if you wanna know more about me."

Priscilla, then, promptly walks off camera with a very impatient look on her face. She doesn't bother leaving her phone number, address, or even her last name.

"I did the damn dating ad. Where's my money, Erica?... The camera's still rolling? Who cares! I didn't wanna do this stupid video anyway. I'm turning it off now."

The camera is shut off normally.

Despite this unsuccessful attempt to get Priscilla to take the ad seriously, Erica still payed her the fifty dollars she promised she would.

Alternate Universe Counterparts

See "Section 2 > Life in Detroit" below for history. See above for notes.

Her entire life has been completely altered in ways that make the Operative seem completely different from her Virtue counterpart. Potts shows little regard for human life and is often brutally efficient in her service to Arachnos. However, Potts isn't even remotely loyal to Lord Recluse or Arachnos' cause. She simply serves as one of their Wolf Spiders for reasons nobody outside the Arbiters and Patrons are aware of.


Priscilla Potts has recently joined the Praetorian Police Department. However, Officer Potts is much more athletically gifted than her Primal Earth counterpart. She is also not afraid of heights nor do shapeshifters, vampires or demons scare her. However, she is afraid of Clowns and goes into shock when she sees a spider. She also dislikes frogs. She is secretly friends with a resistance member named Rebecca Saffron and the two work together to try and topple Emperor Cole's regime.


This universe is identical to Primal Earth prior to September 1st 2009. In this universe, Priscilla is obliterated by an orbital cannon blast on her way to visit her parents.


Priscilla takes on the mantle of Yellow Jackie after the death of Avispon II right before her eyes. She then uses the Avispon II suit to fight against Deimos. She is an active member of a super group known as Fist of Liberty.


Priscilla is a newer, but well respected movie director/casting director/script writer, known for creating the most emotionally charged yet realistic scene. Movie critics found very little that they disliked about her directing, and one cited Priscilla as her favorite director.


Priscilla's history remains completely unchanged.


In this universe, only robots have every existed. P-215 is an ordinary comic book store clerk who is often seen reading graphic novels instead of paying any real attention to customers.


In the year 2052, Priscilla dies of old age.


Priscilla Frasier(nne Potts) is an elderly retired super heroine who once donned the monicker of Phoenix Fist. She was trained in martial arts at an early age and eventually became ranked 3rd Dan at the age of 17. In her early years, she never took any romantic interest in anyone. However, in her later years, she married Louis Frasier and the couple had a daughter named Cameron. Upon Pheonix Fist's retirement, Cameron wanted to take up the mantle. However, Priscilla and Louis refused. Cameron is currently working as a bodyguard for Lucas Travers in order to pay off her student loans from college.


In this universe, Priscilla once worked as a secretary for a law firm in Detroit. However, during a vacation with her family to the Yukon, she was attacked by a werewolf. Fortunately, Chris was able to kill the werewolf before it could eviscerate and consume Priscilla. Unfortunately, the bite of the wolf had turned her into a werewolf. Soon, she met a fellow lycanthrope who taught her how to control the hunger and rage that took over her mind. Soon enough, she had learned to keep complete control in both forms in every case except when the moon turned red. She currently works as a travel guide for tourists of Detroit.


Priscilla is a medic for the resistance.


Priscilla is among the werewolves.


Priscilla is sent to an undiscovered alternate universe. More information will be present in a later update.


Priscilla is a comic book artist known for a comedic comic book series called "Miss Pipe Wrench". She is often noted to have the most unorthodox character in the entire comic book industry, as Miss Pipe Wrench will often ramble about her present situation with heavy use of metaphors. Miss Pipe Wrench would do this for an entire page. Sometimes while fighting. Priscilla's series tends to get a lot of mixed reviews.


A world somewhat similar to Theta Epsilon 6-16, though Priscilla hasn't broken into the comic book industry yet. As a matter of fact, she's in her first year of college taking art courses. However, unlike Primal Earth Priscilla, this world's counterpart is far more talented and her grade point average is higher.


In this universe, Priscilla is a clerk at a bookstore called "The Goode Book". She is interested in engineering, but feels that she will be no good at it because she is a woman. Lucas Travers is the store's best customer.


Priscilla Potts is a fictional character in a superhero soap opera called "Not without my cape", played by Evelyn Bennett. The character Priscilla shares many similarity with her primal earth counterpart. However, Evelyn is an avid sports fan and a practitioner of judo.


Peter and his friends produce a monthly web series on youtube called "Glimpsed the Abyss". Peter and his friends would often sneak into haunted areas or places occupied by mages. Most of the time, these mages would be benevolent and they would conduct an interview with him. However, sometimes the mage being pursued would be up to no good. Fortunately, the Paragon Police Department, EMT staff, and a hero named Bionic Bill are on the scene due to the show's popularity. His stage name is Peter Pipe Wrench.

Origins

Life in Detroit

Priscilla was born in Detroit, Michigan to Leon Potts, an author under the pen name "William A Taylor" with a huge cult following in the eastern hemisphere, and Marie Potts(nne Bennett), a high school teacher. There was nothing notably special about Priscilla, and she was your typical girl with a few odd quirks and habits. She had a huge interest in comic books. She would read them every single day, spending as much as two hours reading comic books since she was seven years old. Her favorite comic book character was, and still is, Awesome Sally who had super strength and invulnerability. Unfortunately, the company that wrote and published the Awesome Sally series went out of business before the sixth issue could be released. She would often pretend to be Awesome Sally and beg her father to play the role of a common street thug, which Leon would sometimes abandon his projects to do. Throughout elementary school, she was often bullied by the other children because of her glasses and extremely awkward social skills. Though she still wears the glasses to this day, she has learned to make like minded friends who were few and far between.

However, her life would make its first dramatic change when her father decided to move to Paragon City so that they could see more of the real thing. Initially, the rest of the family was against Leon's decision to move to Paragon City, but he managed to convince them that moving to Paragon City wasn't as bad an idea as they'd initially thought. Chris, who was in seventh grade at the time, was first to agree because he figured he'd somehow obtain super powers from being exposed to the City of Heroes. However, Priscilla knew that Chris' hopes of obtaining super human abilities would be met with disappointment.

Welcome to Paragon City

In 2001, the Potts family had moved to Paragon City. Leon had difficulty breaking into the writing scene of Paragon City. Marie, on the other hand, successfully landed a job as a high school teacher. Chris had trouble adjusting to a city where more people were super powered than in Detroit. No matter how hard he tried, he didn't make as many friends as he did back in their hometown. Priscilla managed to make a few more friends than she did before. She wasn't the most popular person, but she adjusted rather well. However, she was still bullied by a group of non meta-humans. However, her life would change for the better once she met her best friend. Erica Dane was not your average teenage girl. As a matter of fact, she was a mutant with the ability to create plants and control them as well as control other plants. Once when she was being bullied, Erica came to her rescue.

Erica and Priscilla became fast friends. Erica's popularity and looks would counteract Priscilla's geekiness and somewhat apparent social ineptitude. Despite their differences, they get along very well and Priscilla eventually convinced Erica to begin reading comics. The two influenced each other in quite a few ways and this friendship would last to this very day.

The Rikti Invasion of 2002 and after

On May 22nd 2002, Priscilla was preparing prom night despite not having a date. Her intention was to be the driver for her friends. Unlike Priscilla, Erica had received prom date offers from nearly half the school. Erica soon confided in Priscilla that she had a crush on Lorne Wilson, who didn't even notice her, and asked her not to tell anyone. Priscilla would keep per promise. As soon as Priscilla arrived at home, her parents would give her the keys to a new black car. The car was used and had one small dent in the driver seat door, but it's parts beneath the hood looked brand new. Despite her disappointment, she was grateful because she knew her parents couldn't exactly afford a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.

However, On May 23rd 2002, her life would turn upside down. The sky was green and strange alien creatures began invading Paragon City, slaying heroes by the dozens. Chris watched his favorite teacher die right before his eyes in a super heroine costume. It was revealed that she, Chris' tenth grade math teacher, was a heroine named Equationatrix, an obscure hero known to few for her ability to control gravity.

Over the next six months, thousands if not millions of meta humans and civilians alike had been either killed or captured by the Rikti. But the most traumatizing event of the Rikti War on Priscilla's friends was the death of Erica's current boyfriend Lorne. Lorne was actually revealed to be an ice projecting vigilante who went solely by his first name. Lorne was protecting Erica and Priscilla against Rikti Infantry, conscripts, and drones and he did a great job at holding them off. However, one rikti guardian had appeared and slowly turned the tables. Despite managing to protect both of them long enough for them to reach a safe distance, Lorne was ultimately impaled by a Rikti infantry soldier. Erica had witnessed the entire thing, but Priscilla had already turned the corner. By the time she returned to see why Erica was breaking down mentally, Lorne's body had already been tossed out of sight.

After the end of the first Rikti Invasion, the remaining heroes and civilians had worked to rebuild Paragon City. Despite what happened, Priscilla holds very little prejudice against the Rikti and believes they are only working for a corrupt leader.

After her graduation in June of 2003, she had successfully landed a temporary job as an intern for a small video game company known as Immonen Games. Unfortunately, after a month, the company went out of business completely. She then moved on to work at a small clothing store called "Clover". Despite working there for a year, she wasn't very good at remembering the clothing lines sold by the store. She was eventually fired for redirecting the store's customers to Icon every time they asked about spandex, capes, and masks one too many times. She had remained unemployed for the next three years until Erica had recommended she work for Wentworth's. Despite her resume, Wentworth's rejected her. In 2008, she went to Paragon University to try to study art and programming. She had done very poorly with a barely passable grade point average for the next two years before dropping out.

On November 27th 2010, she had discovered a newly opened comic book store in Galaxy City. She stared in awe at the name and muttered it. "Alien Comics" She had always wanted to work at a comic book store, but was worried none of the stores would hire a female clerk. With a brief period of courage, she walked into the store and handed the clerk her resume. Despite her lack of job experience, the owner loved her enthusiasm and knowledge of heroes both fictional and factual and hired her. As of today, she still works there as a part time clerk.

Call of the Pipe Wrench

On March 30th 2011, Priscilla was driving her bluish green car that her father managed to buy her. Her father had managed to write a book that was a huge success in Australia, as well as India and Hong Kong and celebrated by buying her a very late birthday gift. This car was used, but still in fair condition. Unfortunately, it would later face a terrible fate on May 8th of the same year, which will be explained later.

She was driving in King's Row when she had gotten a call from Chris. His professor had really enjoyed his paper on alien life in Paragon City. After the conversation, she had noticed a pipe wrench lying around in the middle of the sidewalk as she parked outside Erica's apartment building. She felt a strange calling as she looked at it. It was almost as if she had been searching for that very pipe wrench all her life. It was just an ordinary discarded pipe wrench, but it was almost as if she had been searching for it her whole life. She reached over to it, but a nearby group of Skulls suddenly attacked her. Suddenly, she found herself intimidating them with her swings. In their eyes, she was a weapons master. However, the truth was that she had not wielded a weapon before in her entire life and in fact, did everything completely on instinct. It was second nature to her. Maybe she had wielded a similar weapon in a past life?

One thing is certain, she had developed both an undying love and a psychological dependance on the pipe wrench.

Enter: Belle Barium

On May 8th 2011, She had met the very person who would turn her from an ordinary civilian into a registered hero. That person was Belle Barium and Priscilla was a fan of hers. When she spotted Belle in Pocket D, she ran up to her out of amazement. She was starstruck. The initial reaction was Belle's shock and her giddiness. However, the conversation ended with Belle signing her pipe wrench. "To my biggest fan Priscilla Potts - Belle Barium" She proceeded to head to King's Row. To Erica's apartment, parking her car nearby.

She had caught Erica when she was about to leave to meet her new boyfriend. Priscilla simply left as she didn't want to ruin her day. She left the apartment building. That was when she noticed a loud thud. She went to investigate it. A man had landed at the bottom of the fire escape. She demanded to know what was going on, but the man had only demonstrated disrespect and fear. She chased him to the top of the building, only to watch him jump to the ground and land in a dumpster. She went back down the fire escape and gave chase. As soon as she reached the ground and resumed questioning him, he had drawn his guns and opened fire into the air. Frightened, Priscilla hid as he retreated. Soon, he had witnessed him trying to break into the sewers for a moment. Then try to break into her car. Though both attempts were successful, she wasn't very pleased.

Soon enough, she had stalked him to reached Pocket D and hid stealthily (to the best of her ability anyway) along the way. After being discovered, she instinctively struck him with her pipe wrench out of surprise. She then questioned him as to why he was breaking into a car. She wasn't very angry about the car being hers, and was mainly angry about it on principle. She then grabbed him by the ear and proceeded to drag him away. Belle had noticed. She then explained to Belle how the man had tried to break into her car after trying to open the sewers. After investigating the manner and questioning the man, Belle had informed the police about the car. She was informed that that very car was in fact stolen by members of the Skulls, much to Priscilla's dismay. Belle then appointed her as her sidekick and they first set out to meet Trina the Body Sculptress.

As soon as they returned to King's Row. They had found a similar colored car, but this car wasn't hers. But Belle found evidence of damage to her car under the wheels of this new car. Soon enough, despite Priscilla's poor athletic abilities as well as Belle having to stop to help her through obstacles, they hunted for her car. Along the way, they had encountered skulls and one Troll. The troll had knocked her aside and done moderate damage to her, causing her to cough up a bit of blood. However, despite her injuries, Priscilla insisted that they continue on. Eventually they had found her car, only to watch it explode and severely injure one of the members of the skulls. Priscilla was initially slightly dejected by the loss of her car. However, she considered being around Belle to be more than worth it. As soon as they defeated the Skulls and the police's rather pleasant conversation with Belle, Priscilla had been given an application her hero license. And that this situation had become her 'Mission One' despite the disappointment of her loss of an automobile. But the automobile didn't matter to her anymore. She was just happy to be Belle's sidekick now.

This is the day she had officially joined the ranks of the hero community.
