Jovian

Jovian is a power-armored supervillain and member of the Greys.

## Biography

In the year 2999, the solar system is in flames. All-out warfare between the Inner Planets and Outer Satellites has devastated both sides, and mankind's self-destruction seems nigh.

Gyrwin Fourmyle was an ordinary shuttle pilot eking out a living for one of the few consortiums still shipping interplanetary goods. Unbeknownst to her, the scientists of the Outer Satellites has replaced her cargo with one of the most dangerous payloads ever developed by mankind. As she entered Terra's outer atmosphere, the subspace bomb detonated, creating a dimensional rift that annihilated most of the planet instantly. Gyrwin was trapped on the edge of the blast and hurled through a gap between dimensions where both time and space had no meaning.

She eventually awoke in the remains of her shuttle, most of which had been utterly disintegrated, to find she was on the surface Terra-- but a Terra as she had never seen. The inhabitants still called it 'Earth,' and the conflict which would eventually destroy the planet was still almost a millennia away. Outraged at the injustice of being marooned on the backwards world, she vowed to make her way home or die trying. She quickly realized that even the remnants of her tech put her far beyond the primitives around her. Calling herself 'Jovian' as a point of patriotic pride for her homeworld, she immediately set to work stealing everything she would need for her escape.

## Personality

Jovian is an aloof and imperious woman who looks down on all the "primitives" of Earth. In her own time, Earth was her people's sworn enemy, and she chafes at being surrounded by the ancestors of her hated foes. She has difficulty seeing the value in anything around her and it shows in her frustrated and callous attitude.

That said, Jovian despises war and unnecessary conflict. Although she tends to cause massive property damage, she goes out of her way to avoid causing any loss of life, knowing better than most how a single death can cause echoes of violence that continue down the centuries.

## Goals

Jovian's goal is to return to her home by any means necessary. This means travelling through both time and space. Her attempts to build a time machine have so far ended in failure, though she hasn't given up yet. Her backup plan involves preventing the conflict that resulted in her accidental time travel from ever occurring, which she intends to accomplish by preventing key people from ever meeting and creating descendants who eventually spark the conflict. This goal makes her perform bizarre, inscrutable acts of violence, vandalism, sabotage, and general mischief, all in order to prevent certain people from meeting their future partners.

## Powers

Jovian's powers come from her envirosuit. This sleek jumpsuit, although a common piece of equipment in the distant future, is so advanced over current technology that it functions as the equivalent of formidable power armor.

The suit offers near-total environmental protections with FTL flight for travel to any planet in the solar system, along with self-contained breathing. Heat and pressure are controlled with a nigh-invisible forcefield that surrounds the wearer from head to toe; modulation of this field allows energy to be stored and fired as laser-like heat beams. The suit also features an artificial musculature that allows the wearer to survive in even the heaviest gravity, and these muscles confer super-strength as well.

## Weaknesses

Jovian hails from the moons of Jupiter and must rely on her suit to survive comfortably in Earth's atmosphere. If it becomes damaged, her life may be in immediate danger as she is adapted to a lighter gravity environment with a richer oxygen concentration. Because she was raised in a sterile environment, Jovian also has a weak immune system and is relatively susceptible to diseases and poisons that penetrate her suit's protections.

Jovian has a strict code against killing and will confront anyone, even her teammates, who seems ready to cause unnecessary harm. This stems less from any moral stance and more from a desire to avoid altering the future, but it still hampers her actions just as it would a hero's.
