Nell Nullfield

:"You only call me when something's wrong, Jo. Who's snapped?" - Responding to a call from Gordonson.
Nell Nullfield is an agent of the UNWD working a zero-hours contract. She lives in an isolated cabin, only being called upon when her abilities are needed - usually to neutralise other powered people.
==Character==
===Appearance===
Nell is a human woman with peach skin and curly brown hair that falls over one eye. She is usually seen wearing boots and a white nightgown under a heavy brown coat, with a scarf about her neck.
===Personality===
Casual and calm, Nell rarely loses her cool and takes things as they come. She appreciates her alone time and rarely gives much thought to the opinions of others. Highly independent, she is relatively fearless but harbours a deep loneliness.
===Skills & Abilities===
She is physically strong, capable of felling trees and fighting off wild bears near her cabin. However, she is also a power sink - a living black hole for abnormal powers, absorbing others' powers in a radius and storing them in her body. Those with passive powers have their strength sapped when closer to her, and active powers - such as Sarky's energy pulses - are diverted towards her, fizzling out before touching her skin. As such, she lives in isolation so as not to affect other agents (especially those who rely on their powers to remain alive), being called upon to counter dangerous powered people.
Despite the appearance of her simply nullifying others' powers, she actually stores the energy in her own body, keeping it for up to 24 hours before expelling it in the safety of the mines near her cabin. Holding onto powerful energy for long periods of time is both harmful and painful to Nullfield herself, and if she were to absorb a lot of energy and not expel it in a timely fashion, she could suffer terrible organ damage.
She is a talented fighter both hand-to-hand and with melee weaponry, and uses her powers to force foes who rely too heavily on their powers to face her - or other similarly talented agents - as elite normos.
==History==
Formerly a police detective working out of Clementbrook, she worked with Jonah Gordonson during his earlier years. After she became aware of her own abilities as a power sink, Jonah enlisted her as an agent in the growing UNWD, but Nullfield eventually went into self-imposed isolation after her abilities nearly caused the death of a freshly recruited Grav Guy - preventing him from being able to reverse gravity on a falling chunk of building and preventing Chaos Master from being able to telekinetically move it out of the way. Nullfield succeeded in blasting the chunk of debris into orbit by expelling the absorbed energy, but ruptured several of her own organs and her left eardrum in the process, resulting in a lengthy recovery process and permanent deafness on one side.
She is currently recovering from a similar - though not so psychologically traumatic - event in her cabin, having held onto a large amount of absorbed power for too long and suffering injuries to her heart and brain. Although she is slated to fully recover, she resents not being able to contribute during the Zopran attacks.
==Relationships==
===Jonah Gordonson===
:"Don't sweet talk me, Jo. I wouldn't be off the mountain if something wasn't wrong."
They have a tense but friendly relationship. Jonah values Nell both as a friend and as an asset, while Nell misses their prior friendship before the UNWD and resents the fact that he only calls upon her to use her powers.
===Chaos Master and Grav Guy===
:"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I put you in that position. I'm just sorry..."
Nell feels equally guilty for the emotional trauma caused to Chaos Master and Grav Guy during the building collapse incident. Although she successfully defused the situation, the pressure of nearly killing one and rendering the other unable to help has left her wracked with guilt.
==Trivia==
* She is named for her literal 'null field' ability.
