Profile

In the abyssal navy, there are numerous motivations. Some members seek a semblance of belonging, others search for a forgotten past, and still more seek only to become the most efficient killers. This dark admiral is an abyssal scientist, unconcerned with concepts such as restraint which serves only to hinder the steady march of progress. Arising from the lingering hate of a vicious battle fought long ago, she embodies the technological superiority held by one side of that battle and seeks to constantly improve her abyssal underlings, whether they want it or not. Outwardly, she is a cold, calculating individual who beholds all before her with an air of lukewarm disdain; a scientific, observational veneer stretched over carefully restrained rage. While she does command a fleet of abyssal warships, including her own artificially ascended creations, her personal arsenal consists of large numbers of abyssal attack aircraft. Per her own augmentations, however, this is not the limit of her offensive power; scattered reports suggest she consumes other abyssal ships and mounts their weapons to herself.

Advantages

Defining

Display Their Might: An embodiment of grudges and hatred left over from violent battles in the past. Offensively and defensively, she fights on the scale of warships and military installations.

  • Toughness···: Striking her body is like striking solid steel; leaving marks and wearing down her endurance is far easier than leaving any sort of major damage. She regularly resists naval artillery fire and aircraft bombardments. An implacable foe.
  • Strength···: A woman who has manhandled battleships without difficulty. Midway wields phenomenal strength. Lifting massive loads and throwing or slamming them about is an effortless venture. A true juggernaut when taking to the field.
  • Combat Options···: Ranged options such as Abyssal fighter planes and bombers, naval artillery, machine guns, torpedoes, and depth charges. Melee options such as sickle claws, spiked armor, teeth, integrated blades. Standard Abyssal weapons have a distinct early 20th century feel and function, as Midway originated from the second world war.
  • Arsenal - Ranged···: In addition to the usual wartime fare, Midway occasionally fields fantastical equipment. Experimental weaponry that would normally be impossible with the level of technology she is usually associated with. Wide-area tesla cannons, hydrosonic torpedoes, radio-guided bombs, rapid-fire rotary-barrel artillery, Armor-shredding drill shells.

Ordering Carriers: Leader of the Black Fleet, one of the three major fleets of the Abyssal Navy. Midway's reach is much longer than that of a single individual.

  • NPCs···: From the simple destroyers up to the modified Water Demons, Midway's minions are ship-themed warriors that typically operate in units, armed with the weapons she develops. Demons such as the Re-Class Aviation Battleship usually take on commanding roles and often act on Midway's orders without her present.
  • Intrusion Immunity···: The unprepared psychic attempting to read or exert influence on Midway is met with a fathomless abyss of thousands of voices, shouting orders, screaming for help amidst thunderous explosions, aircraft engines, and gunfire. Identifying her own thought thread in the madness of war is all but impossible, much less focusing enough to challenge her willpower.

Significant

Admirals At War: A prepared commander must make use of all forms of intelligence while conducting strategy.

  • Extraordinary Senses···: Through use of radar, Midway can see through dense smoke, fog, bad weather, or simple darkness. Sonar has lower fidelity, but may detect objects through walls and floors by the sounds they make.
  • Remote Viewing··: Scout planes launched by Midway can roam far and wide. She may choose to see through the eyes of any aircraft she launches, including fighters and bombers, even during active combat.
  • Analysis··: Identifying critical exposed vulnerabilities or where vulnerable things may be concealed behind armor, as well as the best ways to bypass or penetrate that armor. Her specialties lie in physical protections and discerning ways around them. This is nearly instinctual. More esoteric defenses such as energy shields confound this sense.

Stealth - Hunter·

Tactics Are Crucial: Additional abilities and resources available to the Admiral of the Black Fleet

  • Adaptation··: Midway can dive underwater to any depth, does not breathe, and is unaffected by pressure differences.
  • Water Prowess···: She can stand, walk, or skate on the surface of any body of water as well as move unhindered beneath the surface.
  • Wealth·: When money is needed, Midway merely turns to the vast quantity of ships that have sunk over the centuries with holds filled with precious cargo.

Knowledge - Tactics··, Repair - Improvised·

Disadvantages

A Pacific War <Trouble>: She is an avatar of the rage and madness of war. This equates to a very intense temper that could be described as 'volcanic', hidden beneath the surface until it suddenly explodes. When prodded by failure, loss, treachery, or something she perceives as imperfect, she becomes fixated on it. In her research, this drives her to focus on a single project until its completion to the complete halt of all other development. In battle, this has an effect similar to tunnel vision. Even when beset upon by multiple foes, when suitably provoked, Midway fixates all of her attention only on the one doing the provoking. This lasts so long as her attention is retained and her frustration is kept high and her temper is not directly provoked by others present.
