Oracle

**Alys Carly Griffiths**, also known as **Oracle**, is a British intelligence officer tasked with hunting down, capturing, or killing superhumans that pose a threat to the United Kingdom's security. She is a talented agent without her abilities and has made a reputation for herself within the intelligence community as a superhuman that prefers not to use her innate abilities as an unfair advantage over her peers. She views her powers with what some have observed to be distaste, which can often put her at odds with other superhumans.

## Biography

Griffiths was shown at a young age to be a remarkably intelligent individual, and was interested in becoming a linguist in her time in secondary school, having adopted a particular affinity toward language and the mechanics behind it. She was especially analytic when it came to problem solving situations, and was able to dissect a steam combustion engine by the time she was twelve, winning her grade’s science fair.

She was pinged by the SIS as a potential agent following the development of her abilities in her ninth year of schooling, and promptly recruited upon her graduation. After a heavy screening process, she was deemed fit for duty and trained as an SIS agent, her first assignment being sent to Cuba to monitor Soviet activities pertaining to MRBMs and IRBMs.

Her precognitive abilities were crucial in determining the precise deployment patterns of these missile systems across the country. In more recent days, she has been tasked with duties by both MI5 and MI6, the versatile problem of the superhumans meaning she has had to work at home more than she would like

## Personality

An exceptionally gifted and detail-oriented individual. Carly charted at around 130 on the IQ scale in the final year of secondary school, though has not been tested since that initial screening. She shows minor hyperactive tendencies and has a habit of hyper-focusing on a topic or set of topics until they have been resolved in her mind. That being said, she shows ease in navigating multi-variable situations, explaining in part her aptitude in language acquisition and cryptography. She is prone to bouts of anxiety due to sleep paralysis, and has been known to have jarring nightmares in her sleep, with a specific reason in her psyche unknown.

## Powers and abilities

* **Superhuman Physiology:** Alys acquired her powers from her father, a veteran of both Great Wars and who experienced heavy exposure to the Tunguska particle in his childhood shortly after the meteor impact. Her mutations further facilitated absorption of the particle as she aged, gradually increasing the strength of her own powers as she proceeded through adolescence; she was initially not observed as 'officially' superhuman until around ninth grade, where her ailments and abilities first began to appear.
	+ **Precognition:** Alys possesses an innate precognitive ability that allows her to see into the immediate future; seconds to minutes depending on the situation and her level of focus. She is capable of extending the range of her precognition to two days, though at immense cost to her energy and stamina that more often than not leaves her in a state of unconsciousness or other ailment.
	+ **Particle Siphon:** Alys also has the significantly more concerning ability to ‘siphon’ the Tunguska particle from other superhumans, temporarily stripping them of their powers while also crippling their immune system. Though this gradually improves her precognitive ability, it comes at an immense toll to her body; the greater the intake of particles in a short span of time, the generally greater the damage is to herself. Symptoms include, but are not limited to: nose bleeds, partial hemorrhaging, and even seizures depending on the particle concentration (‘power’) of the individual being siphoned. As a general rule of thumb, she limits this ability to a maximum of one individual per week, provided she even has the option to do so.
