**Beth Lovelace** is the second in command of the Rogues and is their technician and information hunter. She is responsible for the majority of the plans which the Rogues execute, and though she is highly aggressive, angry, and swears constantly, she is absolutely loyal to the Rogues.

## Appearance

> *"For all intents and purposes, she was what Core would call a horribly faulty product, yet her disabilities did not make her any weaker or less intimidating."*

Beth is the shortest Rogue, and is not as athletic as either Storm or Kat, lacking their muscularity. She has pale skin, rust-brown eyes with wavy brown hair. Even though Avios have the best eyesight amongst all the synths, Beth is near blind without her glasses which have crystal optics screens that allow her to read and focus in on details.

### **Synth Features**

As an Avio, Beth does have wings however they are short and malformed with the right being smaller than the left, and with very ragged tattered feathers. They are a mottled tawny brown colour, and described as being very soft.

### **Bionics**

Beth has two bionic legs, that she has custom designed to resemble bird legs to give herself more balance, as well as her left arm also being bionic, with a black and red casing. As curious as Raoul is about why she has bionics, Beth has yet to reveal why she has them.

## Personality

Despite the fact that she is the smallest and least physically capable Rogue, she is considered the most intimidating. Beth is initially a highly aggressive, determined, aloof, sly, and angry person, which can easily overshadow the fact that she is highly loyal to Storm and the Rogues, and everything she does is in the interest of protecting them all.

She loves being the one who knows all the answers, as it has always been her job to know and understand what is going on, and when she wants can be very talkative.

Conversely, however, if there is something important that she perceives as being harmful or dangerous to the Rogues, she can remain absolutely mute upon the subject, and understands that there are some secrets that are better off not discussed. As much as she wants to argue and be right, she also doesn't want to upset Storm. She is known to lie.

## History

Beth doesn't reveal much about herself beyond the fact that she has been with the Rogues for four years, and before was part of Delta as an admin for recording and sorting data on Synths before she discovered footage of Storm and Mesi destroying a wind turbine during their fight, to which she then walked out of Delta to go assist Storm and the Rioteers.

According to Beth, she's twenty-four years old and is the result of invitro transhumanism, however without an ID it's not known if this is true or not.

## Abilities

### **Computer Technology**

Because of her technological skill set, she is very good at hacking as Delta has provided her with all of the tools and equipment she needs to pull off the plans she sets up. There are still some limits to what she can and cant do, and if she doesn't have the right tools for the job then she is stuck.

## Relationships

#### **The Rogues**

* **Storm Fraser-Swann**

Beth has known Storm the longest out of all of the current Rogues, having been with her for four years, and in that time has gotten to know her very well. Storm can be highly suspicious of Beth, more-so after the encounter with Kathy as Beth often has her own agenda and plans. Beth on the other hand trusts Storm wholeheartedly, even when she makes less than coherent plans and runs off on a whim. Though they argue, they eventually find compromise with one another.

* **Wilny Mira**

With Wilny, there is a mutual respect. Wilny is aware that Beth knows more than him, but is quite happy to not press the issue.

* **Katana Tsume**

Katana and Beth talk more often than they appear to, able to understand each other with little more than a nod of the head or the twitch of a wing. Together they act as a support crew for Storm as both are vary aware of different destructive behaviours of her and so work in tandem to help. Though they don't always see eye to eye, Beth and Kat get along just fine, but they do have their share of small conflicts with one another however, with Kat getting angry that Beth hasn't solved the mystery of where Kat's family is despite being able to find out information on most other things. Even so they do not hold any grudges against one another.

* **Malana Été**

Beth is fairly neutral towards Malana. Not being maternal or good with kids, Beth tries to avoid having to work with or deal with Malana and Palmer as much as possible however she is aware of the fact that Malana is very young and needs some guidance.

* **Raoul Hunter**

Initially suspicious of Raoul, Beth is willing to teach him all of her skills as a technician.

* **Amell Rakena**

Beth is highly prudish, and so seeing Amell with his exposed torso makes her want to throw things at him.

#### **Other Group Leaders**

Beth is the point of connection between other Synth groups, keeping in contact and managing what they do.
