Velvet

Harper, known publicly as Velvet, is a cervine supervillian from Alaska.

Personality
She was the leader of a loose gang of mostly highschoolers. Dan Seneca speculated that, had she not triggered, she would have been a small time dropout dealing drugs to the local high school rather than a leader. She liked to hold on to what she had, and likes to have some place to call her own. Such as her beloved truck.

She was polyamorous.

Appearance
At one time, Velvet had a deer and formal-wear motif to her costume.

Later, she wore a purple, velvet-colored sleeveless top with a hood, that trailed down over her leg like a robe on one side. She wore skintight shorts underneath. She had a black mask on her upper face in a style matching Prancer's, with "truncated, forking horns" that stuck out the top of the hood and kept it from falling back.

She has an accent which becomes thicker the softer she talks.

Abilities and Powers
Gaseous Kinesthesia; pink spores of dust accumulate over time in her vicinity. These serve as a vector for her power letting her exert greater strength, leverage and maneuverability of objects and persons over time.

It can also be used to jump start a truck that should have been scrapped a decade ago. Though this can take up to five minutes.

Background
Harper has poor memories of her childhood and of being told to stay downstairs with the kids, away from adults, during the holidays. She disliked her cousins and was happy that they were killed during Gold Morning.

She is a small-time drug dealer originating from Washington. She moved to Alaska after larger gangs forced her out and then met with her future partner, Prancer, in Anchorage. Together, they moved to Fairbanks.

She and Prancer operated primary as drug dealers at first, with their powers as a sideline. In a possible timeline, they began escalating somewhat, partying harder and drawing teenagers into it. “It’s the whole thing. Get powers as a kid, sixteen years old, make friends with the right people, start dealing. It’s an elevation in status, y’know? I was the guy who the cool kids in high school went to for product. Had money, had girls throwing themselves at me, I was invited to all the parties, and I meet Velvet there. One of many girls in one of many cities. But she gets powers and comes back to me, wants in, wants out of her house, especially. I oblige, and she doesn’t make me regret it.” Moose nodded. “Years pass, we find our fit. She’s got more financial sense, I’ve got the salesmanship. Most capes, there’s going to be conflict. She’s got her thing, you know how her power works. She hangs around somewhere, and this dust collects, and she can telekinetically control stuff, more dust there is on it. It’s how she gets that fucking truck going again, when it refuses to move. She makes us sit there for five minutes and then gives it another try, and it works, and she’ll fiddle with it later and get it tuned up just enough it starts going.” “She must care an awful lot about it,” Moose observed. “She does. But that’s her whole psychology. She wants to settle in, wants to have a place she can call hers, whether it’s that truck cab or, I don’t know, going upstairs. I get restless. The mover thing. That causes friction. But we work despite it. We’re as soulmate as you can get when you’ve got… whatever these things are giving us our powers. Parasites. You had the visions when we were on the battlefield, that day.” “Sure,” Moose said. “As yin-yang soulmate as you can get with these things screwing up the fit,” Prancer said. “But we got comfortable. I graduate school, barely, she graduates a year after me, we keep up the routine. Some wheeling, mostly dealing. The parties every weekend, tooth and nail fights because we’re both the type to flirt with others, before we realized we were fine just not worrying about it. Couple more years pass, I’m twenty-one, she’s twenty, still in the routine.” “A rut?” Moose asked. “Just the way things were. Somewhere along the line, you know, I’m twenty-seven, she’s twenty-six, and I’m still boning boys and girls from high school. Still partying.” - Excerpt from Interlude 1 II
