The Origin
Jazmin Cassala was a thirty-something tech writer working contracts remotely. Recently, she stopped taking new work, dropped off social media, failed to answer texts, and let all her calls from friends and family go to voicemail. Concerned, her brother drove over, discovering to his horror that Jazmin's house had burned down and she was missing. "Jesus! I'm not missing," Jazmin is quick to point out. She just made a big life change after discovering she was a metahuman, and accidentally burned down her house in the process. She doesn't see any reason to involve her family and friends in "any of that bullshit."
Eventually, she found her way to the House of Nibiru via their forums and has since taken up residence in the lodge the House keeps in Colorado. From time to time, she rounds out the teams of other metahumans the House sends on various missions on behalf of the metahuman community.
Motive: Help the metahuman community
Environment: Almost anywhere, sometimes accompanied by two or more other metahumans employed by the House of Nibiru
Health: 33
Damage Inflicted: Major wound (10 points)
Armor: 2 (20 against fire)
Movement: Short; long when flying
Modifications: Fire attacks as level 8; coding and computer hacking as level 7
Combat: Firedove surrounds herself in an aura of flames, which in addition to granting her Armor, means that anyone who touches her takes 10 points of damage from the flames. Melee weapons of level 5 and less used against her move down one step on the object damage track with each hit, until they are destroyed. As an action, Firedove can send winged missiles of flame (her "doves") at up to three targets within short range, inflicting damage on a failed Speed defense roll.
Alternatively, Firedove can generate a massive pulse of fire once every hour or so, attacking all creatures within short range. Even those that succeed on a Speed defense roll still take 2 points of damage from the fire.
Interaction: Firedove is a no-nonsense sort of person with zero tolerance for game playing, liars, and anyone she judges to be shading the truth. She has little faith in institutions, though can be convinced to give a small group the benefit of the doubt, unless or until they betray her trust.
Use: The PCs, already involved in a mission or exploration, are joined by Firedove, who has the same goal.
GM Intrusion: A weapon or other piece of the character's equipment burns up or melts to slag.
