Zetia the Honey Badger (S-Wave)

## Appearance

Zetia is a muscular tan honey badger, rocking two bangs that end in dark blue-grey fur. This same color goes with her ponytail and the fur that lines the back of her body. She's normally seen in jeans and dark trench coats when walking outside in public, though back in her boxing career she wore a green-theme attire.

One of the most notable things about Zetia when people first meet her is her piercing yellow eyes.

## History

No one knows about the childhood of Zetia. Prior to 17 years old, almost all records of her seem to be nonexistent, making her a ghost. What is known is that at the age of 17, Zetia faked her age to 18 in order to enter a boxing competition in search for money to get out of poverty. Zetia ended up coming in second place, losing via a disqualifying punch from her opponent well into the finals. Knowing that it was foul play that the judges blatantly ignored, she tried to call out on the illegal blow, but in vain.

That same champion only had time to celebrate for a few hours, as when she was driving home, her brake fluids were suddenly low, resulting in a crash that permanently injuring her. Zetia made sure to gather all the tools she used to muck up the engine so that no cops would notice.

Zetia didn't care about the rep, she cared about the wealth. She decided to gain money her other ways, and went to the streets in order to gain money via illegal drug markets. Due to her excellent mind, it wasn't long before she rose up the ranks and began making her own business, sweeping competition in the streets, and as a result escalating potential hostile reactions from opposing gangs.

In the middle of one of her workout days, she noticed that she has been able to lift her standard weights with a lot less effort than usual. She continued to add weight to her sets only to figure out that she was definitely a meta, and her supernatural genes had only now activated. Zetia resorted to using a portion of her money in order to test the limitations of her newfound abilities, with each use of it increasing her power.

As time went on and her wealth began to grow, so did hostile interactions with other gangs, as well as with vigilantes of Weybrook. Despite the riches, Zetia has been looking for a way out of the shady life she has brought herself to, leaving her on the vaguely defined moral grey fence of good and bad.

## Personality

Zetia is confident enough in herself to show fearlessness even against the harshest of enemies, and this trait of hers did not come from her supernatural capabilities.

## Equipment

### Repulsor Shotgun

Repulsor shotguns are pump shotguns that compress air through two tubes on its side, followed and rapidly unleashing it to generate concussive shockwaves at close range, easily smashing through concrete walls at a distance of 10 feet.

### Beretta M9 Pistol

There's nothing special to this ordinary pistol, but it does give a hefty boost in range.

## Strength

### Lifting Power

50 tons (held up a house washed off its foundations)

### Equipment Might

Wall Tier for repulsor shotgunStreet Tier for pistol

## Speed

### Travel Speed

20 mph normallyup to 100 mph using her powers

### Combat Speed

Subsonic (can increase the speed of her strikes)

## Toughness

### Shockwave Manipulation

Upon contact with an object, a shockwave occurs. Zetia can willingly amplify the shockwave to vast degrees and manipulate it to focus the force in a certain direction. If she were to use this in a punch, she can send a massive amount of concussive force directly into her opponent. Likewise, she can also minimize the punches of opponents who hit her, weakening the effects of their punches.

Zetia's body passively minimizes the power of impacts upon her body, which is a useful trait to have to compensate for the amount of energy she gives behind her strikes, especially when she is more than capable of hitting hard enough for seismographs to detect her power on the other side of the world.

With time to perfect her ability, Zetia has shown capability to boost the speed of her strikes with proper shockwave outputs on parts of her body.

### Pressure Manipulation

While shockwaves increase the amount of energy Zetia can emit, pressure manipulation enhances her strength to lift objects, making the job of picking up several tons not that hard for her at all. On a molecular scale, this power to can also solidify objects, allowing her to successfully punch liquid or gaseous beings, or even do something as unexpected such as stand on water, and give her to ability to better close small wounds and injuries for faster recovery.

## Flaws

Phlak is a close quarters combatant, and unfortunately so are her abilities. This is why she usually carries a gun of sorts with her.

Due to being a boxer, Phlak isn't as strong on her lower body as her upper body. She prefers punches over kicks. With a boxer styled fighting skill, one who is has enough knowledge enough can figure out her fighting style, albeit broadly.

## Trivia

Zetia used to go by Phlak the Jackal, which was a pun on the idea of a flak jacket, which designed to withstand fragments from high explosive weaponry.
