Jinsoku SPEEDSTER HERO 7 (21)

Claim the Sky

Michiko Nomura was always faster than her classmates. As she got older her speed only increased, but she hid her growing superhuman abilities. When she attended daigaku ("university" in Japanese), she studied entomology, not only fascinated with the world of insects, but also curious about her own powers. When she moves faster than normal, the ability is accompanied by the appearance of energy extrusions akin to wings and sharp pincers.

When a kaiju attacked Tokyo, she and some of her daigaku classmates—who'd harbored secret abilities of their own—rose to the occasion and beat back the massive creature. Realizing that everything had changed, at least for her, she took the name Jinsoku ("swift") and started a team of superheroes in Tokyo called Senshuken ("The Greatest").

The extrusion of her wings and blades is, as best as anyone can determine, a manifestation of subatomic particles with temporal properties.

Motive: Safeguard Tokyo and Japan

Environment: Usually with at least a few other members of Senshuken (level 6 and 7)

Health: 35

Damage Inflicted: Major wound (8 points)

Armor: 1

Movement: Long; very long when flying

Modifications: Speed defense, initiative, and attacks as level 9 due to speedster ability

Combat: Jinsoku's speed means she can make four melee attacks each round on her action using her energy blades. In fact, she can split up her attacks as she moves up to a long distance during that round, dispensing each of the four attacks anywhere along the way. Alternatively, she can take up to four other actions as she moves, such as attempting to deflect bullets, steal an item from an NPC, or something similar.

It's difficult to land a hit on Jinsoku, but if an attack succeeds, her speedster metabolism grants her 3 points of health each round, and 1 point of health each minute if reduced to 0 health (unless her body is more than 70 percent destroyed, at which point regeneration falters).

Interaction: As the head of a super team, Jinsoku has learned diplomacy and tact. She's very capable and experienced, and that shows in any interaction with her. Though she's not pompous, she can come across a bit rushed, as her thoughts are always racing ahead of everyone else's.

Use: A villain the PCs are chasing goes to ground in Tokyo, and the characters need Jinsoku's help.

GM Intrusion: Jinsoku moves so quickly this round that she can take another turn.
