Identities

Public: Grace Choi is a bartender at Chaney's, a metahuman friendly bar. Grace keeps the peace, and when one is doing that with metas there's a clear idea she can handle herself around them, and with them. She also has little trouble speaking her mind, whenever, and wherever she wants, and tends to live life on her own terms and damn the consequences. Grace is very, very strong.

Secret: Grace is an Amazon, specifically a Bana-Amazon, who'd broken off from the Themyscarians many, many years ago. She knows she is one, but almost nobody else knows. It's one of the few things she keeps private.

Background: An Overview

Grace was the child of a Bana-Amazon, a group of originally Themyiscarian Amazons who broke off from the Island to live in the world and kidnap men for breeding purposes. Her childhood, however, was not entirely a happy one. She ran away from the tribe at age 9 and was put into a foster home from which therafter she was abducted. Those that took her took others, too, and she was brought into a child prostitution ring, kept subdued and in squallor for the next few years. Her powers had not yet manifested, and for awhile she could do nothing but suffer as the other children did around her.

As her adolescence started at age 12 though, her powers started to manifest and she used them to escape, taking all of the other children who were there with her after which she began to live on the streets, independently. It was not entirely wretched. Grace, afterall, was large for her age and able to pass as older than she really was and her powers gave her some respect. She neither hated the Bana-Amazons, or had any desire to see them again - as far as she was concerned they were just out for themselves. And that was something she could understand. Afterall, she was too. Out for survival.

Eventually, Grace took up a position as a bouncer in a bar in Metropolis that served metahumans since she was able to keep most of them in line.

Canon Differences & Notes

Any notes or canon differences will go here.

Powers

Accelerated Healing
Grace will recover from wounds far more quickly than most. She will not regenerate on the spot, or heal massive wounds in hours or a day. But a severe or critical wound that might take a normal person several weeks, or months with proper pysical care to heal she might heal within a few days, or a week or so by herself.

Superhuman Durability
Grace can take a pretty good beating, and keep on ticking. She's been burned alive before, and kept fighting with half her body smoldering. Her body is exceptionally dense and her bone structure capable of supporting her feats of strength, so it stands to reason she can take a pretty big punishment, too, especially from blunt trauma (fists, baseball bats, etc…).

She can still bleed, still get wounded, however. Bullets will still penetrate and hurt, but depending on caliber they might not go as deep into her skin. Knives will still cut, but without enough force to drive them they won't go deep enough to do real harm without excessive cutting.

Superhuman Speed
Grace has above human reaction speed. She can run faster, move more quickly, than humans ought to be able to. She's not on Wonder Woman's level, or even Spider Man's, but she's still beyond what a normal human's reaction times and movement speeds can be.

Superhuman Stamina
Grace can fight and exert her body well beyond normal human capacity due to her Amazonian bloodline. She does not tire quickly, but this is not an everlasting supply. She can and will tire out eventually, just not nearly as quickly as a normal person would.

Superhuman Strength
Grace possesses superhuman strength and is capable of lifting or affecting around 100 tons. With some assistance (regarding density) she is able to perform feats up to catching a crashing fighter aircraft and saving the plane and pilots inside. While she has the strength to actually catch the plane itself (or lift it), she doesn't quite have the power to negate the force of the jet traveling at full velocity by herself.

Skills

Hand to Hand
Grace grew up learning combat skills from the Bana-Amazons until she was abducted. Since, she's had a lot of practice on the streets, and as a bouncer and she's mingled the street experiences with her heritage. While she's no Lady Shiva, Grace can hold her own with a good many exceptionally trained fighters.

Amazonian History
Due to being raised by the Bana-Amazons, Grace was strictly taught for the first 9 years of her life the history of the Amazonians. While she won't have knowledge of the ost recent events of the past few decades of what happened on Themiscaryia, she certainly has knowledge about the Amazons that would never be shared off the island, or more accurately, outside of the Amazonian tribe. She knows the bitter history between the Bana's and the other Amazons most closely but also of the foundation of Themiscryia, the 'truth' of the Gods, and lots of other things.

Streetwise
Grace lived a lot of her latter adolescent life on the streets. Surviving. Doing what she had to. She understands the street-life well. How to survive. How to hide and blend in if you need, even when you're 7' tall. How to talk to people in those situations.

Resources

Chaney's
Grace is a bouncer for a fairly successfull metahuman bar, Chaney's. She makes a pretty decent income because she's able to keep the peace, and handle the tough customers, and tough brawls. It's a profession for her, and kind of her home, for now.

Pros

Strong Willpower
With everything Grace has gone through, she's extremely stubborn - this means that her focus, once it's on something, is extremely hard to deter. This doesn't mean that she's any less hard for a person with psychic or empathic abilities to manipulate her - she's just as easy as anyone else, but it does mean that even the silver-tongued will have a hard time persuading her to do something that she doesn't want to do. It's hard to manipulate her through mundane means, unless she already has her own motives for acting in that particular manner.

Cons

Blunt
Grace says what she wants, to whom she wants, whenever she wants. She understands what candor is. She just doens't care about it. In the least. And she will say whatever comes to mind, be it popular opinion, or not. Be it appropriate for the audience, or not. This can cause a lot of conflict between herself and others in the room, including friends, or people she might like, and would be a burden on any team she might join, potentially.

Human Rights
Due to her own experiences, Grace tends to get a bit 'revved up' when cases of slavery, abduction, or abuse come around. Certainly a touchy subject for almost any hero who would feel anger at such subjects, but Grace has lived it, knows what it's like, and has a personal investment in seeing such things ended. This feeling is for anyone, be they male or female and is not one way or the other influenced by gender - there were, afterall, boys in that same situation as she was forced into. But most especially, and emphatically does this resonate her if children are involved.

Piercing Weapons
Even though Grace is extremely durable, she is still a creature of flesh and blood. A bullet in her skull will still kill her as it would anyone else. A knife can still peirce her heart, with enough force or a unique metal (such as Adamantium). She is not a bullet sponge by any strech of the imagination, and if she bleeds enough, she will die.

Money
While Grace isn't rich, or has any real desire, what she does do is she likes to live comofortably. She's generally not a chartiable sort, unless she's your friend. She is not a Hero, and will deny adamantly always she is. She might, however, be hireable, to do heroic things. Who knows? It's happened before.
