## History

### Early Life

Much of Jones' life on Earth-10 follows a similar path to that of her Earth-1731 counterpart. She was born in Shibuya City to high-ranking officials of the Japanese government who dabbled in mysticism to achieve power. Ultimately, Jones would be transported to the island, Jigoku, off the shore of Japan, to be trained amongst Oni and Yokai to fulfill the promise made by her parents.

However, Jones would flee the island of Jigoku and return to Japan, only to discover that her parents were murdered by the Yokai that took her. Activating her maruta chromosome here, Jones hunted down and slaughtered the Yokai responsible with her newfound ectoplasmic abilities. Deciding that a life of fortune was worth more than a life on the run from demons, Jones became a spirit hunter and mercenary.

### Life Beyond

#### Requiem & Vigilantism

At some undetermined point, Jones was approached by Amelia Williams, who offered her a place with other marutas called Requiem, a division of the CIA. While apprehensive about joining, she agreed to work part-time for Requiem but ultimately fell in love with the idea and the people involved, becoming very close to members such as Rusty, Woods, and Morgan. During this time, she became a full-blown hero and vigilante, working to better the world and to safeguard marutas within Requiem, taking up an acrobatic instructor position in the organization.

#### Earth-10's Dark Victory Incident

Much like Earth-1731, Jones would be involved with an incident that, in the books, was called "Dark Victory." The formation of Team 19 caused Jones to bring together Woods, Rusty, and Morgan to deal with the rise of Yokai back on Jigoku, but this resulted in Morgan being cryo-frozen to protect himself from his powers that went haywire. Shortly after this event, Jones would marry Rusty and attempt to settle down, leaving her life as a supernatural assassin for hire behind.

### Return to Form & Future's Past

At some undetermined point, Jones and Rusty would get a divorce, which resulted in Jones returning to her life as a vigilante/Fixer for Requiem and various corporations. This occupation led to her being hired by NASCAR to prevent a tire war between Key Motors and Stone Age Racing. While she was successful at learning why the Tire War occurred, she failed to avoid the war, which led to NASCAR hiring Woods and his group to stop it.

It was here that Jones met Woods again but quickly realized that Woods was not from her native timeline as she knew that Earth-10's Woods was currently on the lunar surface, working with the USSF. The two embraced as Jones was happy to see an old friend while Woods was happy to see his best friend alive again in the past.

She would join his group but leave temporarily to go to Moscow for a job that would take a month to complete. However, Jones would be forced to cut her gig short after being attacked by Lucian and his band of rogue TVA agents, now going by Twilight. Learning that they were there to prevent Woods and his group from stopping their dark future from occurring, she returned to New York City to help plan for their final confrontation with Twilight for the future of Earth-10.

## Attributes

### Powers

**Maruta Physiology:** As Jones was born with the M-chromosome, her body was conditioned to gain and retain superhuman abilities, which she activated at 24. While not immensely powerful, Jones is a viable and dangerous threat to those who are her enemies, as her powers work in tandem with her combative abilities. She is a highly dangerous individual with more capabilities than a usual maruta due to the situation surrounding her gaining powers.

* **Ectoplasm Manipulation:** Jones can manipulate the paranormal energy known as Ectoplasm that her body naturally generates after activating her M-chromosome. Her body began to ooze excess and high energy levels unnatural to humanity but natural for her physiology. This energy is powerful and, if used as a source, has been stated to be able to run a city's electrical grid for years. The power itself is an anomaly as the origin of it is unknown but theorized to have come from the Paradise Lost dimension. However, upon further investigation into the island of Jigoku, it is believed that the energy is derived from what she was exposed to, which was Yomi, the Japanese afterlife, and artifacts from a different dimension that Jones called The Nightosphere. When encountering ghosts and other spirit-like supernatural entities, Jones can absorb their ectoplasmic energy and add it to her own, forcing these spirits into the next life.
	+ **Hard-Light Ectoplasmic Constructs:** Using her ectoplasmic manipulation, Jones can create hard-light constructs out of the energy she uses, which allows her to create weapons that can harm physical objects or people. Most notably, Jones has used this to develop ectoplasmic knives, katanas, and other bladed things to dual wield with her native katana. However, she cannot generate cars or other outlandish items, limiting her to only melee weapons.

* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Like all marutas, Jones has a high-level regenerative healing factor that allows her to heal from any injury she sustains. She recovers from wounds within seconds, depending on the damage and outside elements. The extent of her healing has yet to be covered as she is skillful in trying not to get hit, unlike her contemporaries like Woods and Morgan.

### Abilities

* **Maestro Swordswoman/The Left Hand of Yomi:** Jones is the greatest swordswoman of Requiem and easily placed within the world's upper echelon of greatest sword-wielders. Trained by supernatural forces on the island of Jigoku, Jones is competent with blades and exceedingly dangerous in the actual art of combat, more so than Woods, who has literal claws in his hands. Her renown on the island of Jigoku earned her the alias "The Left Hand of Yomi," as Jones is left-handed and fights with her left. She has taken down entire apartment complexes filled with Oni and people alike and is the only one who could best Woods in combat during their training sessions at Requiem.

* **Gifted Acrobat:** Another aspect is that when Jones was younger, she was a gifted gymnast who won gold medals, with talks of her even attending the Olympics in high school. However, these skills would serve her well when she was shipped off to Jigoku and later became a vigilante. Jones has unparalleled acrobatic skills; this is her primary mode of transportation when surviving the urban jungle of New York City.

* **Occult Knowledge:** Jones is highly adept with knowledge of the occult, often being everyone's primary source of information, specifically about the Japanese occult. She is why Woods knows about magic and what goes bump in the night. Her knowledge is so extensive that she can identify what something is easily and quickly, even at a glance. Jones has remembered countless pages and lore books and can recall weaknesses and powers easily.

### Weaknesses

* **Techno-Organic Virus:** Much like all marital, Jones is highly susceptible to the variant of the TO Virus from the Paradise Lost dimension. However, due to the supernatural aspects surrounding her origins, Jones is more resilient to the virus and is left affected by weaponized versions than her contemporaries are.

## Paraphernalia

### Equipment

* **Jigoku Suit:** Upon becoming "The Left Hand of Yomi," Jones was given a costume made of ectoplasm and materials from The Nightosphere dimension. The suit is resistant to gun-fire and knives but lacks overall protection as it caters to Jones' acrobatics more than frontal assaults.

### Weapons

* **"Sen Katto"/One Thousand Cuts:** After discovering that a Yokai had killed her parents, Jones took her ancestral blade, known as Sen Katto, or "One Thousand Cuts." The sword is incredibly sharp, and Jones has infused the soul of the Yokai that killed her parents into it, allowing her to cut through most known materials on Earth. Due to this, the blade is also conventionally unbreakable but can be broken by magical means.

### Transportation

* **Aston Martin Vulcan:** In the past and dark future, Jones has always had a custom-made Aston Martin Vulcan that Woods created for her as a gift for her thirtieth birthday. The car can reach speeds of 230 mph and hit corners with a drift that rivals some of Woods' vehicles. Woods had the license plate read "Oni" on a white background as a funny nod to what she does.

## Notes
