Angelica Hopewell (a.k.a. Paine, Penance)
Formerly known as Paine, Penance is an aggressive woman who has fought with the Jumpers on more than one occasion.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Penance is a youthful appearing woman with a fierce punk style look. She has deathly pale porcelain skin, emerald eyes, and the same shade adorning her slender lips. Her ebon hair is styled in a voluminous mohawk with shades of green in it and the sides of her head perfectly shaved.
Facial Features
Penance has several piercings including her nose, below her lips, and a row of studs along each eyebrow.
Special abilities
Painless Predator- Penance's signature ability that makes her completely impervious to feeling any sort of pain. This power has allowed her to become a cybernetic nightmare capable of inflicting incomparable carnage. As a side effect, her body doesn't seem to physically age anymore. In the past, she was able to redirect any pain she should have felt to a target near her but that particular aspect of the ability seems to have been lost while undergoing her mods.
Agony Matrix- A last resort attack where Penance emits a glowing red orb from her body that is a collection of the physical pain she should have felt since the last time she used it. After using Agony Matrix, her body forcibly shuts down from a lack of power until her consciousness is uploaded in a new body or she is forcibly rebooted.

Apparel & Accessories
She wears a black top emblazoned with the words "Fuck Off" in gold letters that exposes her shoulders and midriff. Completing her look is a pair of ripped denim jeans and a pair of dingy green sneakers.
Specialized Equipment
Accupuncture Needles- Penance's preferred weapon before her remodeling. She is acutely aware of the pressure points in the bodies' of several species and can use these needles offensively to immobilize her targets. She keeps them stored in a compartment beneath her left wrist.
Barrier Generator- She has a barrier generator contained within her body that allows her to create a translucent orange barrier around her entire body to defend against attacks. While powerful, it puts a drain on her internal battery and cannot be used for more than a few minutes straight.
Thrusters- Her legs contain thrusters that let her hover, fly, and move at extremely high speeds similar to a jet. She can also use the flames and exhaust as a weapon if necessary.
Iron Feet- The soles of her feet are reinforced with incredibly strong metal to increase the power of her kicks.
Wrist Slitter- Penance keeps a thin sword in her right wrist that can extend and be used for melee combat.
Machine Tips- The tips of her finger tips pop open to reveal machinegun muzzles beneath them. The bullets are made of a particularly hard metal.
Flamethrowers- The palms of her hands are fitted with high power flamethrowers.
Extendable Arms- Penance's muscles and tendons in her arm are fitted with nanofiber wires that allow them to stretch and increase her effective attack range.
Harpoon Torpedo- A giant harpoon cannon has been fitted into her abdomen, her exposed midriff opens a hatch to reveal it.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Penance, born Angelica Hopewell, discovered from an early age she was somehow born with the inability to feel pain of any sort. Her parents, perpetual gamblers always in debt, sold her to the military when they discovered her powers. The training she received from an early age ensured that she was a practical killer and was viewed as a potential supersoldier in the making. However, the government of her planet was overthrown in a coup and she went on the run to escape being executed.
Eventually, she found work as a soldier for hire and offered her services to Morholt Corporation, where she was positioned beneath Croust. After a humiliating defeat from the Jumper, Deadeyee, Penance sought revenge and had her body modified by Rewel. Thanks to her ability she was able to survive a nearly full body replacement and now nearly every inch of her body has become some kind of weapon or utility.

Social Aptitude
Penance is a treacherous, venomous person at her core. A woman willing to betray anyone to fulfill her current grudge or agenda. She is violent and arrogant, believing herself to be at peak fighting form and will hold a long-lasting vendetta against anyone who overcomes her. Fairly shortsighted, her long term objectives can be spurned by anything not going her way.
