Timeline

Timeline:
* 2000: Autumn is born in Gotham City, the youngest daughter of a wealthy, old money family in Gotham. Her father, Arthur, runs a hedge fund while her mother, Sasha, does a great deal of volunteering and charity work.
* 2007: Autumn and her mother are caught in a gas attack at a Gotham shopping center. Her mother dies while Autumn spends two months in critical care, much of it laughing uncontrollably. She still suffers from bouts of inappropriate laughter to this day.
* 2012: Autumn's school is taken hostage by a knife-wielding maniac. She witnesses nearly a dozen of her classmates have their throat slit before they are rescued by local vigilantes. The psychopath scarred Autumn's face with several cuts of his knife.
* 2017: Autumn's school homecoming dance is crashed by a fearsome villain with a taste for fear toxin, filling all the teenagers with terror. The interaction between this toxin and the remnants of the one left in her system from childhood caused strange changes to Autumn's metabolism, granting her enhanced physicality and ability to withstand injury, even as they unhinged her mind. She becomes prone to explosions of violence and bouts of paranoia.
* 2019: Autumn enters Gotham University as a freshman after spending her 18th year in Arkham Asylum, surrounded by the very horrors that drove her mad in the first place. Within six months, she finds herself attacked late at night on campus by a pack of villain-imitating gang thugs, only to find herself enragedly disarming them and beating them senseless with their own weapons. And a new idea dawns on her.
* 2021: After a bit of preparation and training, Final Girl emerges on the streets of Gotham at night, protecting the vulnerable and putting the fear into those who would prey on the weak.

Personality

Click to expand.

Extrovert:
Despite all the trauma of her past, Autumn remains a social, outgoing creature. She likes to have fun, get goofy, go shopping, all the general stuff a young girl of means might expect to be. She hits the party scene fairly often and, while she's a decent student, her focus in life tends to be more on enjoying it. After all, she knows better than most just how short that life can be.

Reckless:
Autumn doesn't take care of herself. She abuses alcohol, barely sleeps, continues to withstand incredible punishment in her vigilante life. Yes, her powers let her survive and recover, but she re- traumatizes herself over and over in the process. She doesn't precisely have a death wish, but she's definitely at a point where she doesn't care enough about her own life and her own quality of life, that she can only feel alive when on the edge of violence and chaos.

Unstable:
Autumn is diagnosed as both manic-depressive and having borderline personality disorder. She is an emotional rollercoaster, extremely mercurial and prone to outbursts of violence and rage. She has learned to channel that violence and rage towards those who deserve it, but that doesn't mean the feelings don't erupt at often inappropriate times. While she has been under psychiatrist's care, including a long stint in Arkham Asylum, she is currently unmedicated.

Vengeful:
Autumn carries a great deal of rage. She wants other people to pay for the suffering that she has gone through, that her family and friends have gone through. She wants someone to answer for the scars left on her face and on the surface of Gotham itself. Prominent villains or known criminals will often be targeted by her and she often looks up the names and faces of their victims to remind herself who she's avenging.

Character Sheet

Powers

Click to expand.

Physicality:
The more afraid she is, the more pain she suffers, the more enraged she becomes, the stronger and more capable Autumn becomes. At the peak of her abilities, Autumn can lift/press about a ton of weight, enabling her to shift cars, break bones with her hands or throw people the length of a city block with one hand. Her reflexes move to about five times that of an ordinary human and she reaches a top running speed of around 35 miles per hour. She can fight for hours tirelessly, so long as she remains emotionally engaged in the fight.

Surviving:
A violent interaction of experimental chemicals in her system has left Autumn capable of surviving grievous injury. Her body regenerates at a rate about five times the rate of a normal person - this allows her to recover from stabbing in a couple of days, gunshots in less than a week, cranial trauma in about a full week. Because her powers are fueled by her fear and her rage, she more intensely she's terrified, the more powerfully she's angered, the faster she recovers, but it usually isn't going to be fast enough to noticeably heal in the course of a combat situation. Her body is somewhat numbed, enabling her to operate even while undergoing intense pain. Not to say she feels nothing - she still can suffer and often does in the course of her fight, only using it to make her fight harder. Possibly most importantly, her body can withstand an excessive amount of trauma and still operate. She's often fought with knives or axes in her body, with her face drenched in blood from a fractured skull, with broken legs and shattered hands. She does not stay down.

Skills

Parkour:
Autumn's gotten pretty good at parkour, operating and running in urban environments with a high degree of success. She's jumps and runs at the level of a highly competent athlete and isn't afraid to throw herself off of things and climb up things and generally play the vigilante rooftop game.

Psychology:
Who knows better about psychology than someone who deals constantly with her own mental illness? Autumn stalks the madmen of Gotham and has investigated deeply into their profiles, stealing psychological files where she can and in general engaging in a great deal of 'true crime' style interest in the various villains that go in and out of Arkham Asylum. She has a wider understanding of psychology as well and notably the psychology of fear.

Violence:
Autumn has gone through a couple of years of martial arts training, focusing on kickboxing and mixed martial arts. She's even gone a few rounds in the cage and won. But her capacity for violence is often more instinctive, technique giving way to rage in the moment. She fights dirty, savagely. She goes for the throat, the eyes, the groin. She uses any weapon at her hand, favoring most often either a baseball bat or a machete. Her style is pure offense, relentless attack, more than willing to take a hit to give a harder hit. She can hurt people and she likes it.

Resources

Trust Fund:
Autumn grew up in wealth and has a significant trust fund and allowance. Her father gives her about ten thousand dollars a month to spend as she pleases and she has a trust fund that she can now access since she's turned 21 with a net value of about 5 million dollars.

Weaponry:
Final Girl is very much a DIY crimefighter. Most of her weapons are handcrafted, improvised or just off the shelf. She usually goes out with a machete, a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, a couple of throwing hatchets and a spiked set of brass knuckles. She carries chloroform and home- brewed molotov cocktails. She keeps sand to throw in people's eyes and has a pack of first aid stuff to patch up any gaping wounds.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Frenzy:
The more violence she endures, the more fear and anger and pain she processes, the more Autumn loses herself to it all. She can become an almost animalistic creature, lashing out in every direction, a rabid dog that needs to be calmed or tranquilized in order to find anything resembling peace. It doesn't happen every time she goes out to patrol, but whenever she's pushed towards her limits, this sort of battle fugue goes over her and she will exhaust herself and push herself beyond anything resembling sane limits.

Killshot:
While she can withstand grievous injury that most people would crumple beneath, even Autumn has her limits. Decapitation, damage to more than fifty percent of her brain tissue or the destruction of her heart would all cause her to die before she could possibly regenerate. She could still be smothered or suffocated or drown.

Laughing:
Due to a childhood exposure to Joker venom, Autumn sometimes undergoes uncontrollable bouts of laughter, often at inopportune or inappropriate moments. She can't usually tell what will trigger them and they can be so overwhelming as to leave her practically paralyzed for a few minutes, although often they only manifest as a few giggles, too. She never knows how far it's going to go, but it usually happens once or twice a day at minimum.

Trauma:
Autumn has a LOT of unprocessed trauma. She suffers from nightmares and has several mental illnesses. She suffers more mentally than she does physically and, worse, she doesn't have any healthy way to process it, turning all of her pain into violence that she inflicts on those she deems evil. She needs a lot of therapy and her decision making and general behavior are pretty messed up.
