Claim the Sky
Tough and brave, Rebekah Anne Power never backed down on the playground, as a middle- and high-school volleyball player, or during her military tour, where she earned a number of medals for bravery in combat. What only a few people knew was that Rebekah had reacted especially strongly to a cocktail of enhancement drugs that permanently boosted her strength, speed, and endurance as part of the military's experimentation with bespoke superpowers.
After her tour ended, she returned home to nurse her elderly grandmother through her last years of life. As she later said, that's when she had to display true courage. When her grandmother finally passed, Rebekah was at a loss. As chance would have it, she found herself in a malfunctioning elevator not long after. If not for her, everyone aboard would have plunged to their deaths. That day, Valor was born.
Valor is married to Whisper. In the Boundless setting, they live on the West Coast of the United States, although they also are members of the Society of Seven.
Motive: Save lives
Environment: Almost anywhere, usually with Whisper
Health: 30
Damage Inflicted: Major wound (8 points)
Armor: 6
Movement: Long
Modifications: Might defense as level 8
Combat: Valor attacks foes with a chain weapon, attacking up to three targets within immediate range at once, or a single target within short range. On a hit, she inflicts damage and can choose to entangle one target, who is held helpless on a failed Might defense roll until they escape.
Valor can use her chain weapon (a level 6 item) in a variety of other ways, such as swinging it rapidly to create a shield for herself and others (hindering attacks by two steps), quickly swinging across cavities, retrieving objects up to a short distance away, and so on.
Her enhanced abilities also grant Valor the power to see in the dark, and she heals wounds quickly (she regains 1 health each round while above 0 health).
Interaction: Kind and just, Valor always has time—even if it has to be deferred until later—to talk to others of good will. She is open to team-ups, but usually only for the length of a single mission.
Use: The PCs respond to a call, only to find that Valor has arrived before them.
GM Intrusion: The ranged attack is deflected back at he attacker by Valor's spinning chain weapon defense.
