Augusta Garett

Augusta Garett is a member and informal leader of Team Hazmat.

## Powers

An indirect mid-ranged combatant, Augusta conjures gas grenades that cause various effects when thrown. She can carry up to five of them on the ready (four on her vest, one in hand), but the actual amount she can conjure is only limited by her magic power reserves. The effects of her grenades are indicated by their color:

* Green - Buffing: heals and empowers allies.
* Yellow - Caustic: damages and slows down monsters, and makes them more vulnerable to attacks.
* Orange - Combustible:expels gas that self-immolates after a short while, creating a big fireball.
* Red - Repellent: monsters hate it and refuse to go near it but should they do they get stunned

Augusta is constantly trying out to conjure new types of grenades with the help of Wilhelmina. Until now they were unsuccesful.

Besides her grenades, she has an olive green canary companion named Permoník who scouts ahead for monsters. It can relay exact count and location to her, and even assess their strength.

## Physical Appearance

Augusta is of average height but is very physically fit. Her eyes are a olive drab color while her hair is olive green and forms a short, perfectly round Afro when she is in civilian clothes. when transformed, it disappears beneath an army helmet. Milly is perpetually fascinated by this fact.

When transformed, she gains the aforementioned helmet. Her main clothes are a hooded chemsuit (the hood goes under the helmet) with a combat vest over it that carries her spare grenades She wears combat boots covered with overboots, rubber gloves and a military type gas mask with filter on the side. Her outfit is fully in shades of olive - the upper part of her chemsuit and the hood are olive green, the helmet, vest and chemsuit legs are olive drab, and the mask gloves and boots are dark, almost black olive. Her helmet comes equipped with a small but powerful torch.

Her mark is olive drab sign that signalizes the requirement to wear a gas mask and is located on her right shoulder, a black variant appears on the front of her helmet when transformed.

## Personality

The quiet, brooding badass type, Augusta does not speak much, and when she does, she never says more than is required to get her point across. This changes however, when she enters combat. As soon as the she tosses the first grenade, she also starts tossing about cheesy one-liners and puns, and constantly trash talking the enemy.

Despite her attitude, Augusta enjoys the presence of other people and loves her friends and sisters-in-arms greatly, even though she refuses to express it (though she does beat up people who are mean to them so that technically counts as an expression of affection). Her expression is constantly broody, no mater her mood. But when it turns into an angry scowl, it means you have seriously angered her and should vacate the premises because she is already preparing to sock you in the face for your troubles.

Her music taste is in stark contrast with her nature - she adores soul, funk and disco music. She even wears bright disco clothes that clash with here eye and hair color when she goes out.
