I recently watched the pilot for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great characterization and a feel like Buffy (I've never seen Joss Whedon's other works), and I hardly care for the Marvel movies but now I'm interested.

Ah, who am I fucking kidding. WHOOOO! BEST SHOW EVAH! Coulson, you da man!

'I'm actually quite surprised by the joke about me, really. Fitz does look like me... or was it Simmons.

"Yes."

Legion, you're not supposed to be in this fic yet... anyway, I decided that I'd just post Liz and Apollo's profiles now. I am working on Louisiana chapter 11, and I am bringing Ratchet into this chapter in an instory day or 2. Just want to ask...

What power should he have? Magic or conduit?


Note: Psychological reports as written by Dr Chambers added post-addendum to normal records. Not sure how one was altered between transmission, but Dr Chambers' blush speaks volumes.


Elizabeth Richards

A girl with a past that she would rather forget, she wishes to heal and protect others. Just don't piss her off. No, really, don't.

Appearance and stats:

Real name: Elizabeth Tsukiyomi Richards

Date of Birth:

Species: Human witch, with Kitsune descent on her mother's side.

Nationality: Northern Ireland (1 month onward), formerly Kiragakure (born)

Powerset: Conduit (healer), witch (inherited, stunted development), exorcism, ninjutsu (simple training not recognised by any Hidden Village)

Height: 5ft 7in

Weight: Too afraid to ask (it's 140lbs)

Shoe size and type: UK7, pumps, trainers, boots, high heels

Skin colour: Caucasian.

Hair colour: black, with a single skunk stripe

Eye colour: Green

Description: A slender and physically fit young woman with a preference for tight fitting clothing but will wear heavy clothes in winter. She has a few minor cuts on her body typical of children but also has a clan tattoo which is in fact a seal for a kekkei genkai as well as the symbol of Kiragakure cut onto her thigh by an assassin which has healed up due to her conduit powers. Formerly had scars on her stomach which showed injury and surgery to her lower stomach, embarrassed to talk about it.

Biography:

Liz is actually related to at least one Shinobi clan but her mother, a Japanese woman, refuses to associate with their typical business despite having good relation with her extended family (if her mother's home village ever find out she's alive, they'll send ANBU after her). As such, she grew up within Ireland and prefers the traditional culture as compared to her local area's Unionist leanings towards Britain. Her hobbies include traditional Irish dancing, singing and practicing her black-belt Judo and spear martial arts.

Elizabeth is formerly from Belfast but her parents moved to a rural area within the county of Down in order to escape from civil unrest in the area. Elizabeth personally hates the Unionist/Nationalist conflict in the area and has assaulted those who have shown extremism on both ends of the argument.

Growing up with a few friends, Liz is most notable for her dating history due to a former boyfriend accusing her of being a slut. She doesn't particularly mind the reputation but has confronted the slanderer due to claims that she is HIV-Positive, which led to a 3 day suspension.

Met her boyfriend, and later fiancé, shortly into her fourth year of High School and started dating him from the end of that year's second semester onward, after he angrily fought her slanderer in the cafeteria of their school. However, Raphael warned her of his previous issues but she decided to pursue him anyway.

Her father is a known Cerberus agent so she is to be closely monitored. At some point a senior agent, either believed to be the Illusive Man himself or another high ranker in the organisation, ordered a hit on him. Liz's reaction and the perceived cover story (a sectarian act of violence) has led to a violent confrontation. Note, that it is unknown if she could be swayed into joining the organisation so she is to be closely monitored.

At one point at the age of 17, she suffered an injury that led to severe abdominal trauma and the required removal of her uterus which she seems very unwilling to talk about. From known reports into the matter, it was an attempt at the Ship's Mast stunt that went horribly wrong when someone tried to run the car involved off the road and she landed into a ditch with a broken bottle. It is unknown if her healing powers can or will fix the damage. Under Commander Ikari's command, a cloned tissue sample can be transplanted if it ensures her loyalty.

Her relationship with her brother is pretty normal, although like any who are close with her, she isn't afraid of hurting him when he doesn't take care of himself.

Currently learning medical care through NEXUS Doctor's Corps while using her powers to care for patients, currently serving under Medical Officer Chakwas.

Powers:

Elizabeth is a Class-B Healing conduit, able to perform feats such as healing multiple individuals at once and to regrow limbs onto a subject's body, able to perfectly replicate it's state (fat, muscle, veins, bone structure) within a span of 10-30 minutes. Other feats include saving a human from brain death and recovering from a curse that causes advanced aging. There are side effects, however. She can feel the physical pain of anyone else nearby and experiences it in a similar form to what is experiencing the pain, even if the physical form is entirely different (reports from being near a canine with an amputated tail feel like she's missing a part of her spine while a drophyd with an injured dorsal fin feel like a cut on her back).

Liz isn't a miracle worker and needs rest. Despite NERV Section 2's orders or information leaked to the public, she can't heal an entire hospital of people and trying to do so may tax her powers, resulting in death! Attempts to

Attempting to fight her is a bad idea due to her fighting and healing skill but also her response skill which causes a similar injury to appear on her opponent. A shot to her arm would cause a similar wound on her opponent. She has to be focusing on this, however and stealth can render this ability useless.

Liz is also a late awakening witch with little to no formal training. She is learning how to use her magic for charms and healing spells, as well as some formal duelling from a NEXUS-affiliated Auror.

She also has some above normal chakra reserves, not enough to perform full ninjutsu, and skill in manipulating her chakra in order to use banishment rituals.

Liz has managed to make a pact with a demon and now wields the Devil Arm Phantom which appears as a spear with a scorpion's stinger in its weapon form, able to switch between spear and whip state to bring enemies closer to her. She is able to command phantom to use fire spells and to act as a Lavagun. When not fighting, Phantom appears in a miniature form as her familiar.

Liz's known Limit Breaks include Salvation which instantly heals her allies and Mega Phantom which causes her familiar to attack at full strength alongside her.

Personality:

Caring for those under her care but is not above restraining patients who are problematic and a danger to themselves and others from what I have assessed from her work routines. She has threatened patients who try to leave bed even with serious injury like multiple fractures with the petrifying charm petrificus totalus, such as Zeke Dunbar. While reprimanded, she has only used it once on a patient who has constantly tried to leave due to no faith in the doctors and tried to seek out a faith seeker. Liz... petrified him, explained why she needed toe patient to rest and... made her watch a show about a hypnotist who had a random man pretend to be a faith healer in criticism of the practice. She has also helped subdue violent individuals who harass staff through either spells or martial arts, often asking beforehand if they have any insurance.

She is more likely to become much more caring under the proper tutor, which is why I recommend Dr Chakwas for field medicine training. Note that she also cares for her family and friends and is unlikely to ally with Cerberus due to past confrontations so her loyalty to NEXUS is at least guaranteed.


Apollo 'Gandor'

All that is known about this lombax are few facts. He's a conduit with powerful teleportation powers, he's a skilled doctor and pissing him off isn't a very good idea.

Appearance and stats:

Real name: Unknown (Apollo is confirmed to be his real name but the surname is fake. For whatever reason, he's using a name associated with a known Mafia group)

Date of birth: Unknown date, est. 1987

Species: lombax

Age: 23

Nationality: Lunapolis, Andromeda galaxy

Power set: Conduit (ability)

Height: 6ft, at least (1.83m)

Weight: Unknown

Shoe size and type: Large? Various boots

Skin colour: N/A

Hair colour: Grey hair with white stripe patterns on various parts of his body.

Eye colour: Gold

Description: A fit and active lombax with toned body and well-kept fur, with large ears and eyes, exact measurements unknown, est. 15in by 3in. Tail length is ankle-length, ending in thin brush-like tail. Scarring of the mid-section carefully hidden through fur but is evident through close-up observations.

Biography:

Apollo was 4 years old when Tachyon launched his genocide on the lombaxes. His mother wasn't able to get the two of them to the dimensionator access point in time but his powers suddenly activated, causing him to teleport to the Andromeda galaxy. The trauma of the incident had caused Apollo to suppress his powers for most of his life as well as cause frequent nightmares. It is unknown what happened to his father, although his mother said he was a Praetorian Guard.

Growing up on Lunapolis, however, Apollo was always a sweet and easy going kid, always getting told that he was stupid because he wouldn't put enough effort into his work. On the day he decided to show everyone his true intellect, an IQ test was issued to every student in his school, scoring an IQ of 280 (local system, his IQ on Earth is higher). Although initially questioned as to how he cheated, it was eventually discovered that he was genuinely a genius, although he chose to hide his true intellect in fear of bullying and because he hated the workload that intelligent children were forced into due to the local education system. He was able to successfully pursue a career as a doctor on his stepfather's suggestion, focusing on research and diagnosis of illnesses and injuries at the age of 17 before becoming a paediatrician and diagnostician.

However, his medical license fully allows and under Andromeda law requires Apollo to perform surgical procedures often in case a doctor is stationed to a colony world, with a minimum limit of 20 operations a year except for A&E under certain circumstances. For example, a day of A&E work is only worth one operation unless a seriously injured or sick patient that requires extensive surgery. Also, a surgeon can't perform all of their operations in a single short space of time as this is often the cause of several incidents where the operation being performed incorrectly or leaving equipment behind inside a patient. Also, surgery is only performed on severe injuries that nanotech can't be used to treat.

Apollo has an encyclopaedic knowledge of illnesses, diseases and symptoms over a total of 600 different space-faring sentient life which he uses in his day-to-day job, only counting a small amount of knowledge when it comes to humans due to limited interaction.

During an outbreak of chicken pox on his home world which resulted in severe symptoms on all infected individuals (it's far worse in non-human species), only being able to create the vaccine to treat the illness and prevent outbreaks on other planets with the assistance of Dr Yui, a human who was residing in the Andromeda galaxy at the time. While he was able to save most of the native population, a colony of fungoids who had broken off from the main government and his mother had died as a result of the illness. While studying Patient Zero (the first confirmed patient), he was able to confirm two things. The first was that the spread of the virus was deliberate.

The other was that Tachyon had found him and wanted him dead.

Only around this time did he rediscover his conduit powers as well as several other people he knew had become conduits. He was able to drive off most of the attackers, although his stepfather was gravely wounded and placed into medical care as a result. While experimenting with his powers, Apollo discovered his powers to teleport across worlds and dimensions, leaving the corpse of a dead cragmite for Tachyon's spies as revenge for his dead colleagues, friends and mother.

It was around this time he met Alister Azimuth, a meeting that wasn't on pleasant terms due to paranoia and gunfire. The two did manage to strike up a form of relationship.

The reason the Planetary Defence Centre was offline was due to active sabotage by a spy working for Tachyon to hunt down any traitors as well as those of lombax descent, while the Andromeda Network Government's Navy (the Andromeda Galaxy's military army) were given false readings as a result, only fighting to protect the fringe colony when they suspected something to be wrong, fighting off the Empire's army without regret. Andromeda and the Tachyon Empire have been at war ever since with Apollo supporting the Polaris Republic as a spy.

At some point his stepdad went missing. Apollo was devastated by this news and sunk into a depression that Azimuth helped him overcome. He has since been looking for answers about his race, past and the whereabouts of his fathers. For whatever reason, that quest has led him to Earth.

Powers:

Apollo is a strength conduit with above average strength, easily able to break a bone without much effort. Due to his medical knowledge and martial arts training, he knows what bones to break to disable and kill opponents and other weak points. At least one death linked to him has been due to cutting his opponent's bronchial artery with one of his feet's claws. It isn't estimated that his strength level is too extreme but he has reportedly kicked a car into a wrecked state by accident. He also seems to know how to wield some guns but not very well, once shooting himself by accident. He prefers melee combat.

Apollo is an exceptional teleporter, able to cross galaxies and even dimensions easily. His skills are so good that he baffles even known Apparation study due to it defying the basic laws of the art. Compared to a wizard's apparition, where the practitioner breaks their body and mind into packets of materials that is moved to a target location via a smoky vapour and reassembles it when they arrive, Apollo seems to either completely replace the material where he is moving an object to with the object in question or moves into a pocket dimension and travels back into a different location. Due to his cross-dimensional travel this is the most likely solution. Other feats include apparently deliberate splinching of opponents and... 'The Sun Spot', the mention of which causes Messers Finnegan and Longbottom to wince.

There are limits to his travel, however. Travelling to the Andromeda galaxy from Earth is a considerable distance even if you take into account a hypermetric warpdriveTM. Apollo does need rest after this feat since it tires him out. Due to the shorter distance between the Solana, Bogon, Polaris and Andromeda galaxies, Apollo can easily travel between these locations with less stress, but also travel between planets by himself.

Note: Hypermetric Warpdrives are trademarked to Ratchet Engineering Technologies, creators of Stunderwear.

A fully-trained doctor with a wide variety of illnesses, Apollo is also capable of surgery suggesting a high amount of dexterity.

Personality:

Brilliant but lazy. He's a brilliant doctor and surgeon and can easily treat several different ailments but has a particular hatred of his colleagues which he does not disclose to others. Playful when off-duty, serious when he is but is highly compassionate to his patients. He thus mainly works in paediatrics.

The only things he takes serious are patient treatment and safety, the safety of those close to him and his own physical condition. He's quite fit, actually and frequents the gym when he's free, doing a variety of exercises but mostly cardio, although he does like to use minor abuse of his powers to move weights and teleport in the bathrooms. [NOTE ADDED AFTER: And Kelly seems to really like seeing me do push-ups! :D]

Only really excels when he wants to over-show someone who he feels deserves it, especially if it puts an unrelated party at risk, and can go into a depressed state when he fails to accomplish this. For example, performing research that proves that a colleague's experimental treatment could have worse consequences for the patient was a frequent reason he wrote his thesis papers in University. When his research was invalidated and a doctor who had little regard for a patient's safety was proven right about an invasive and traumatising surgery required the patient to be conscious for success.

To those he knows, he is loyal but quick to question their ideas and plans. For those who hurt or insult his friends, he shows no mercy. He also seems to be quite social, even speaking to me while helping NEXUS and allowing me to fully assess him. He only found out soon after I was ready with my notes, but seems not to mind too much.
