Character Info

Profile

Click to expand.

An employee, victim and minion of Mojo, she has recently been banished to Earth and forced to make her own way in the world as a wandering six armed sorceress swordswoman. Unfortunately her abrasive, unstable personality, terrible reputation and inability to make many friends are going to make it quite hard.

Timeline

Timeline:
* 1992 : Born Rita Wayword, in Los Angeles.
* 2013 : Starts working as a stuntwoman in Hollywood. As time goes by gets a solid reputation as a professional in her field, sticks with it for a few years.
* 2018 : While on the set of a movie, exposed to a mutant, and attacked by extradimensional invaders from the Mojoverse. Defeats them. Later in 2018 joins a counterattack to unseat Mojo, and vanishes from Earth history.

???? : The captured Rita Wayword is transformed into Spiral by Mojo and his chief scientist Arize, spending an unknown amount of time being trained in sorcery and cybernetics, not to mention mutated.

* 2015 ish : First sightings of Spiral on Earth, associated with Mojo's plans, and also for those in the know the pro-priestess of the Body Shop, selling cybernetic expertise to the highest bidder.
* 2018 : Defeated by Rita Wayword and others in Los Angeles, retreats to the Mojoverse and is eventually pursued, but ends up capturing Rita and driving the other heroes off with Mojo's help, rather than being defeated.
* 2020 : Escapes the Mojoverse after some sort of disagreement with her boss. Is banished / flees to Earth, temporarily at least independent.

( There's no original Rita Wayword in this timeline any more, she vanished in 2018. Though I suppose if Spiral came back, a Rita could also come back too and coexist again. Time travel, it's all so confusing... ).

Personality

Click to expand.

Bitter:
She might not actually remember her own history very well. But she is at least somehow reminded of it in glimpses whenever she encounters something that she encountered in her skewed past. It tends to make her angry and lash out at things, but there's also a vulnerability there, on some level remembering a happier, two armed time.

Dramatic:
Spiral has had a long career in the movies, in one way or another, and has a flair for drama. Whether it be a pithy comeback or an overly dramatic speech, fundamentally she likes to put on a show, even if it is quite often at the expense of other people.

Rebellious:
Despite being a sidekick for much of her existence, Spiral is not naturally given to be accepting of authority. When forced to do so by a greater force she's makes for a particularly snarky minion, though she rarely goes as far as outright defiance, instead taking out her annoyance on her as-directed opponents. When given her freedom, she tends to do her own thing, even at the cost of legality or comfort, at least partly because she finds it impossible to really relate to people in her alien state.

Unpredictable:
Spiral's has been through a lot. Originally actually of heroic inclination, her mind has since been forcibly evolved to perceive other dimensions, and then for an unknown amount of time she was enslaved by Mojo. Her attitude varies from outright villainy - generally under Mojo's influence - to simply wanting to survive, to even, in rare cases, having a genuinely protective bond with someone.

Character Sheet

Powers

Click to expand.

Alien Body:
Spiral's six arms are each fully functional and she can use each one with equal dexterity, whether it be using six swords at once, or as part of an elaborate and intricate dance routine. Her physical abilities - strength, speed and toughness in particular - are mildly supernormal thanks to a combination of genetic tweaking and cybernetics.

Immune To Possession:
Spiral's warped mind is seemingly immune to effects that control her mind or steal her powers.

Spiral Magic:
Her primary power, Spiral is a powerful sorceress with a particular affinity for dimensional magic. Her spells are always controlled by movements of her many hands, sometimes forming part of an elaborate dance routine. While she has considerable power, the more powerful the spell, the longer it takes to cast, and sometimes requires her to be holding her swords. Her signature spells include...

* Teleportation, especially. Her main power, she's often used as transport for other people. Though she resents being a glorified taxi cab.
* Manipulating energy
* Invisibility
* Magical disguises
* Shape shifting
* Energy shields
* Stunning or paralysing her victims, though her spells have to actually hit them to do so
* Removing superhuman abilities
* Creating small pocket dimensions and accessing them
* While working for Mojo she can channel his own power, becoming capable of greater feats such as easy interdimensional and possibly even time travel. Her magic also generally becomes more powerful across the board.

Spiral is also aware through some mystical means whenever her name is mentioned - including somehow filtering out mundane uses of the word 'spiral'.

Skills

Click to expand.

Expert Swordfighter:
Spiral would be a deadly swordswoman if she just had two arms, but with six fully coordinated ones, she's beyond deadly. She's generally capable of handling multiple deadly combatants at the same time in physical combat.

Genius:
Spiral has a twisted genius and has been trained in alien science. Her skills particularly focus on the use and abuse of cybernetics and genetic engineering - she takes a certain relish in doing to other people what was done to her, especially when they come to her willingly, not fully appreciating the cost. She also has considerable, if specialised, magical knowledge, especially concerned with magic that controls, crosses and creates otherworldly dimensions and pocket universes.

Stuntwoman:
She was once a professional and sought after stuntwoman. While she rarely has to crash a car in a spectacular fashion as a movie requires, she's still capable of doing it.

Resources

Click to expand.

Body Shop:
Spiral has access to the Body Shop, a sort of bazaar of scientific gadgets and toys especially concerned with cybernetics and biotechnology. She has used this in the past to turn people into superpowered cyborgs, usually charging great sums to do so. She can also fix people, either cyborgs or not, if she has access to her Shop.

Swords:
She possesses two swords of alien metal. These are stronger than any (conventional...) earthly metal.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Bad Rep:
Thanks to past escapades plenty of people have a reason not to like Spiral. While generally the worst stuff was as a result of her being an agent of Mojo, people might not be too discriminating about that - especially if was them or someone close to them that Spiral screwed over.

Broke:
Currently having "escaped" from Mojo and dumped on Earth, she has nothing. Aside from the Body Shop and her personal possessions (clothes, swords...) she's got very little. It's not like she can or has the personality to get a bank account and a job. Her interactions with mundane resources are limited to the basics - food to eat, somewhere to lair, the end. And no minions.

Mojo:
She is ultimately a slave of Mojo. Sometimes her attitude means he banishes her to Earth, but he can just as easily re-enslave her again. Her powers are derived from his, and she cannot directly stand against him.

Outcast:
With six arms and and a shattered mind, she won't be fitting into human society ever again. Her personality is such that she always considers herself an outcast even if people are accepting of her appearance (and her past). If she found herself in a team of some sort she would be the most unhelpful, snarky and unmotivated member of it, though she has formed bonds with individuals in the past on a one on one basis.

Reckless:
Throwing all cares to the wind is probably the main reason why she has been defeated so many times in the past, with divided loyalties as the close second.

Title Date Scene Summary
Fancy Trouble April 19th, 2024 In an unexpected twist, Selene gets not one but TWO sword wielding scrappers under her wing in a single encounter. Surely this can only end well for everyone involved.
Mutant Field Trip April 10th, 2024 The Field trip does not go according to the script. The abducting and coaxing of attendees does, but everything after that hits a few potholes on the way to the mysterious destination intended to wow and amaze. Interdimensional uh-ohs catch wind of the transdimensional trip, after dodging some pesky authorities. Always trying to stay ahead of the consequences for a wild and fun future is risky. Through some valiant defense, the creatures are held off while the ripcord on the engine is pulled and the Bus comes in for a sandy landing in strange place. What sort off solutions can be found to get home, and whether the nearby saloon has something worth lingering in, are to be revealed.
A Smashin' Business Proposal April 5th, 2024 Many faces are seen, punches are thrown and a violent but potentially lucrative business opportunity begins.
Assassin's Ball March 17th, 2024 The Assassin's Ball in the Aegean Sea, mingling and making friends, and shrimps consumed by the Yeen-load.
Triggers and Sniggers February 29th, 2024 Spiral sets a spicy ambush for X23, offering forth a briefcase of trigger scent as bait.

What can I do to you, I mean for you. February 2nd, 2024 Spiral invites Tigra into her Body Shop after some attackers try and get the better of the Avenger. Within Spiral's sanctum, spells are woven upon her guest. What starts as a game of mirror-mirror becomes more literal. The results are Tigra gaining some extra limbs to experiment with, courtesy of magic. That the changes were so well received speaks of a deeper mystery that demands more experimentation.

Where at, Hellcat August 28th, 2023 Hellcat is abducted by Spiral for some perilous games in a pocket dimension. The promise of accumulated points suggests a prize.

Spiral seeking Susan August 2nd, 2023 Spiral goes to confront Susan over her recent interactions with Franklin. After snitching, Spiral drops hints of dangerous doings afoot, tantalizing transgression to see what Susan's responses will be. The conversation takes a turn towards negotations and cosmic details that aren't for the Public's consumption.
