Farrah

**Farrah** is a member of the Authorities who was selected to join the ranks of their illicit EMBER organization, under the codename "**Fury**". Like others in this branch of government, she has been granted unnatural advantages in order to help oversee a major subversive experiment.

## Appearance

Farrah has green hair tied in a braided ponytail. She has reddish-orange eyes which have narrow slits like those of cats. She has only been seen during in her Fury guise, which consists of the standard EMBER uniform of a black hat and trenchcoat worn in conjunction with a mask and high heel boots.

## Personality

Farrah is, at her core, a killer. The smile seen underneath her mask says everything about how much she enjoys the chance to rip apart her enemies. She has a habit of making condescending remarks in response to any heroic nonsense.

However, she is fully aware of EMBER's main priorities. She does not sacrifice any of the organization's vital assets for the sake of her own bloodlust. That said, she does try to find ways to "have her cake and eat it too".

## History

The Authorities appointed a select group of its employees to its EMBER program, Farrah included. Like others in these ranks, she was subjected to the process of Conversion Technology and successfully acquired new abilities in addition to her own. Farrah was then assigned the codename of "*Fury*", and used her new alias to sell EMBER's experimental Ability Amplifier to criminals and monitor the resulting chaos. When vigilantes started nosing around in their business, *Fury* and her comrades were also tasked with eliminating them. As far as the public knew, there was no connection between the terrorists and the government.

## Plot

### Hardline

*Fury* went along as backup while *Brims* made a standard milk run in Lovun Town. The sale went awry, as their overreaching buyer and his friends got killed trying to extract the amplifier's properties from *Brims*. Things didn't end there though, as vigilantes happened to be in the neighborhood. Brims was overwhelmed by the efforts of *X-Rei* and *Ponytail.* But their allies on the rooftops were easy prey for Fury. She snuck up behind *Nobody* and his orange-haired friend and rushed at them with the intent to end their lives. Her presence was detected, and they futilely attempted to evade. Her burning slashes managed to inflict grievous wounds on them both. When Nobody collapsed to the ground, *Fury* pinned him by stomping down hard on his back before turning to the one who was still standing. She admitted that she was impressed that they managed to survive the assault. Orange-hair demanded she let her captive go. Amused, she invited him to try and *make* her. He responded by striking the ground, shaking her up a bit. Fury wasn't disoriented for long, and she grabbed the teenager as he tried to rush in and pull his friend out from under her. She commended his efforts while putting him in a painfully hot armlock. With both of them in her clutches, she revealed herself to the street-level combatants.

Fury may have had her flaming claws at the throat of one captive, but *Ponytail* held a sword pressed against *Brims's* face in one hand and a phone in the other. Clearly, the events of the evening were recorded on it. *Ponytail* made it clear that if she did any further harm to his allies, then her partner's life was forfeit. He suspected that even she wouldn't cast aside one of the government's most experienced veterans. But *Fury* wanted the destruction of the phone as well. *Ponytail* wasn't in the mood to haggle, but *Fury* put on enough pressure for *X-Rei* to fry the phone to save her friends' lives. With anonymity apparently secured, she shoved both boys off the roof. With *X-Rei* predictably rushing over to catch them, Fury leapt from the roof and slashed her as well. Before she could kill her, *Ponytail* intervened and drove her away. *Fury* was agitated by their continued survival, but she soon noticed she had bigger problems. *Brims* had been impaled with the sword, a wound Ponytail assured would be fatal if it wasn't tended to at once. It was proposed that both sides call a truce in order to tend to their wounded, since the swords pinning Brims down would disappear after a great distance was put between them. *Fury* entertained the possibility getting the same results by killing *Ponytail*, but was told that course of action would take to long. Resentfully, she told her enemies get out of her sight.

And so, Farrah had Byron admitted to Wellston Hospital. She gave a full report of the incident to Valerie.
