Skyren

Patricia Rose Cannon, (Previously Smith), known by her codename Skyren was a neohuman who worked for the Whiteshield organisation throughout the 50's, 60's and 70's. She was one of the most powerful neos ever recorded and had previously worked with Anri and fought Clay, destroying his arm.

Skyren married the rogue PI and vigilante Dennis "The Cannon", who she swiftly divorced after having three children, one of which, Kim, was the later mother of Volt, Wildstar and Aurora.

She is one of the founders of VALER.

### History

Patricia was born to Elsie Smith in 1939 in Hastings, England. She didn't know her father prior to her mother moving from London to the town with her during the Blitz but according to Elsie he went off to war as a pilot before Patricia was born.

Patrica lived with her mother, who was a Catholic woman of somewhat staunch dogma, but grew up something of a rebel.

When her Brother Steven left as a reserve pilot for the RAF Patricia was 11 Patricia began to get into fights at school and smoke, by the time she was 12 in 1950 her neohuman powers began to manifest; generating some kind of humming field around her that enabled her to levitate and eventually fly, but tried to keep it hidden. It was only a year later when her brother returned with his American girlfriend, and got in a headed debate with her about her opinion of poetry, that she accidently generated a sonic boom that destroyed her kitchen; Pat realized that this power was sound-based in nature and with the help of Dr Grant Thomas learned to control her powers.

Although tetchy with Georgina Godfrey at first the two became good friends and through her became an unparalleled physical fighter, learning to harness her powers even further through various forms of martial arts.

### Powers and Abilities

#### Powers

Skyren was a neohuman born with active neone genes that give her superhuman abilities.

**Sound Manipulation:** Skyren had the ability to manipulate, amplify, dampen or cancel out sounds and sonic waves in a verity of ways and to massive degrees. Throughout her years she became one of the most powerful neohumans on the planet and by the 70's was unrivalled by any powered being on Earth.

* **Sonic Blasts:** One of her basic yet destructive abilities she first learned was to focus ambient soundwaves into bolts of force from her hands or mouth that could cause devastating destruction on matter, at her most powerful, these blasts were capable of releasing the equivalent energy of a small nuclear warhead.
* **Sonic Scream:** Patricia could amplify her own voice into tremendous levels of noise, enough to cause destruction of matter or alter the pitch to cause effects such as nausea or blackouts.
* **Seismic Inducement:** She has created localised earthquakes and tectonic shifts in the earth and accidentally devastated a town in Nepal when she triggered a bigger quake that caused a landslide, as such she rarely used this ability.
* **Disintegration:** She can cause matter to break down by sending overly-powerful vibrational frequencies into molecules, causing matter to crack, break up shatter or explode.
* **Frequency Manipulation:** Skyren, over time learned to precisely control the sound around her, allowing her to create and mimic other sounds, usually from her own voice.
	+ **Emotional Response Manipulation:** She learned to influence the emotions of others via certain sound frequencies, although she had to concentrate to achieve a noticeable effect, often did so with her own voice, inducing feeling anywhere between joy and calm to fear and terror, even feelings of paranoia, panic and anxiety.
	+ **Nausea Inducement:** She could cause others to experience dizziness, headaches and vomiting.
	+ **Paralysis:** With the correct frequencies, she has induced a state of physical paralysis in anyone who hears said sound.

* **Acoustic Levitation:** She can cause the levitation and movement of any object within her vicinity by manipulating and amplifying soundwaves to produce ultrasonic frequencies powerful enough to move matter.
	+ **High-Speed Flight:** Actually one of the first manifestations of her power was as an ultrasonic field around her body that allowed her to levitate and fly in any direction with great manuvrability or hover in the air. As she developed her powers, this field later allowed her to accelerate and decelerate at extreme speeds, fast enough to resemble teleportation, as well as protect her from g-forces and temperatures, reportedly flying at hypersonic speeds, flying from the UK to Australia in a few hours.
	+ **Enhanced Strikes:** By amplifying the vibration between her body and an object many times over within microseconds she could amplify her own impact force without damaging her body, creating "echo strikes" powerful enough to rupture iron and steel. The compressed air and contact-shockwaves generated from just a single echo-punch was measured at 10 megatons.
	+ **Enhanced Durability:** Eventually she learned to simulate a form of durability in a similar manner to her enhanced strikes, by amplifying the waves between her and an object that object is repelled with little or no damage to her person.
* **Enhanced Hearing:** Her power over soundwaves also seemed to give her the ability to hear much more concisely, over much greater distances and in a much boarder range in both subsonic and hypersonic, able to even the heartbeat of a person from several meters away, or hear some radio broadcasts with concentration.
	+ **Sonar:** She can affect a form of sonar by sensing reflected soundwaves, and building up an image of her area in real time, even with her eyes closed, enabling to precisely detect the world around her for several meters, detect movement of things as small as insects, or sense incoming projectiles.
* **Sonic Immunity:** She is immune to extreme sound and vibration on both her body and her ears.

**Abilities**

**Expert hand-to-hand Combatant:** Skyren was trained under Vixen, who was herself a martial arts prodigy, and this training also helped her focus her powers, and received later training in China, Korea and India by revered martial artists.

**Skilled Melee Fighter:** While she temporally trained with Kaminari, with it being passed down to her from Jack Smith, she found channelling her sound into it's blade made her powers too devastating and prefered hand-to-hand and powered combat. Nevertheless in her later years she did go back to using a blade hidden in her cane to take the strain off her body and keep up her fitness and not least to help focus her high power. In her old age her sonics, whilst focused through her cane-sword, was so powerful that she would rarely unsheathe the blade as it helped dull her power to controllable levels and fought with her cane alone in most circumstances.

**Skilled Tracker:** She learned how to track enemies over vast distances.

**Skilled Strategist and Tactician:** Her time in Whiteshield let her learn various strategic and tactical elements of warfare.

**Multilingual:** She had somewhat of at talent with both the spoken and the written word and easily learned various languages on her travels.

**Accomplished Poet and Writer:** She had various published poetry works and written countless several in-depth diary entries documenting her missions in Whiteshield, much of which were and still are classified by MI6.
