Profile

Dragonfly is the secret identity of Nancy Arazello, one-time fiancée of Ken Burton, an engineer obsessed with the occult. In his researches, Ken found a coded diary belonging to John Gallagher, the former Dragonfly who died in 1957. After decoding the diary, Ken arranged to perform the mystic ritual that summons Zzara, an inter-dimensional insect-like god / demon in order to become the next Dragonfly. Nancy interrupted this ceremony at a critical moment, however, and was instead transformed into Dragonfly in his stead. Very much an unwilling superheroine, Nancy finds she cannot help herself in helping others in need, even though she routinely expresses her dislike of the superhero scene.

FLIGHT

Dragonfly is an accomplished flier, able to hover in place or fly at speeds of up to Mach 4 with ease. The force field that affords her protection against physical attack (for which q.v.), permits such great speeds without causing her any harm or inconvenience.

INVULNERABILITY

Dragonfly is surrounded by a force field and is thereby almost invulnerable to material attacks and significantly defended against most energy attacks. Psychic attacks are not protected against, however, and attacks based purely on light, etc., while they may not actually harm her, cause her stinging pain. Magic has no difficulty cutting through her defence shield, and custom weapons that incorporate magic or psychic powers into their physical matrix can harm her as well.

QUICK HEALING

When Nancy becomes Dragonfly, her actual body is transported for safekeeping to an extra dimensional crystal cell. Her Dragonfly form is transported in its stead for her consciousness to inhabit. If damaged as Dragonfly, returning to Nancy form eliminates the damage. While in the crystal cell, her Dragonfly form will recover from most forms of damage (even extreme damage) within about a day of disuse.

SUPER STRENGTH

The same force field that grants her invulnerability (and telekinesis) gives her incredible personal strength. She is easily able to pick up multi-ton vehicles or to rip open even a bank vault door without very much strain. Her control of this strength is not yet perfected.

TELEKINESIS

Dragonfly can, with concentration, move things, suspend things, and hold things with her mind by stretching out her force field as a replacement for physical contact. While initially clumsy with it, she has refined this to the point that it can be used to bounce attacks before they even reach her (even magical ones, but not purely-psychic ones), or to hold several people plus several tones of collapsing building in the air.

Skills

AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

Nancy was an aerospace engineer first and foremost, working in her fiancé's company as a senior engineer. She is a gifted engineer who's familiar with a lot of bleeding edge aerospace technology; sufficiently familiar, in fact, to do technical interviews for incoming engineering staff.

COMPUTER

Of course use of computer software necessary for the role of an aerospace engineer is a given, but in addition to this Nancy is a moderately-capable programmer and a power user of computer networks and networked information systems (like the Internet).

FLIGHT

Nancy took to flying like a bird. Even early in her heroic career she was able to control her flight well.

HUMAN RESOURCES

Nancy was de facto human resources head of the Research and Development branch of Burton Engineering; responsible for most of the pre-hiring and firing decisions when dealing with engineering staff.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

As a senior engineer, Nancy finds herself increasingly dealing with the administration of engineering projects rather than the engineering aspects. As with anything she does, she threw herself into the role, learning it well.

UNARMED COMBAT

Nancy is learning to fight hand to hand. She's not great at it, but it's coming along.

Resources

MONEY

Ken Burton's estate is in probate and thus Nancy currently has to live from her savings (since Burton Engineering was one of the items currently locked down for probate). She has, however, a sizable townhouse of her own, fully paid for, and no longer has a need for vehicular travel since she can use her Dragonfly form to travel faster than any vehicle she'd be likely to own.

TOWNHOUSE

Nancy owns her own townhouse (which she hardly ever used until after Ken Burton's death). It is Unit #1 at 3121 Beverley Road in Flatbush, Brooklyn.

Weaknesses

MUTUAL EXCLUSION

The force field's invulnerability and the telekinesis are mutually exclusive. When she's being telekinetic, since it is merely an extension of her personal force field, her force field cannot protect her completely. Similarly when she's defending against massive physical attack she cannot use her telekinesis. (This implies limits on her flight speed while being telekinetic as well.)

TIME LIMIT

When in Dragonfly form, her powers get progressively weaker. Her strength wanes. Her invulnerability becomes more vulnerable. Her flight slows down and falters. For a day or two this is not noticeable, but after several days she can be easily defeated even by regular weapons; against supers she will be helpless. When drained in this way it takes her about a day (one full healing cycle) to regain her strength.

VIOLENT CHANGE

When transitioning from Nancy to Dragonfly, a burst of etheric energy is released as light and heat and concussion; the longer the time since the last change, the more violent the outburst. Several days without transition will release enough energy to destroy a sizable room and seriously harm people nearby. Even with regular transitions the light released can be blinding.
