Claymore

The Bull

You’re big, and strong, and tough. You’re know what fighting really is, and you take joy in it.

You're a badass stone-faced destroyer. And, sure… you've got a soft-side, too. But you don't show that to just anybody. Only the people you care about most.

And everybody else?

They can eat your fist.

Hero Name: Claymore

Real name: Jennifer Jericho (aka Subject C-17)

Look

Sixteen years old, with dark red hair and tanned skin. A closer look reveals unusual muscle definition in her arms and shoulders, and faint surgical scars over much of her body which have long since healed to the point of being barely visible. When in civilian clothing she usually wears baggy sweaters or hoodies to hide these facts.

Her hero costume is thrown together from whatever she could get her hands on at the time, and consists mostly of loose-fitting, practical clothes in dark colours.

Abilities

• Augmented strength and reflexes.
• Accelerated healing.
• Military combat training.

Backstory

Twenty years ago, a top secret military project was launched to develop a genetic augmentation program to engineer the perfect soldier. Experimental gene therapy treatments were used on unborn children to enhance their strength, senses, and reflexes. They were raised by the Project, and their potential further enhanced as they grew by rigorous training and surgical augmentation. Four years ago, an anonymous whistleblower tipped the media off about the Project - amid massive public outcry, it was hastily dismantled. The surviving subjects were put through intensive psychiatric rehabilitation and placed with specially selected foster families to be reintegrated into society.

Jennifer Jericho, aka Subject C-17, was among those placed in Halcyon City. Since being fostered by A.E.G.I.S agent Cal Jericho, she has attended the Halcyon Academy of Unconventional Sciences. Her commitment to the idea of reintegrating into normal society is best described as “grudging”. Having been trained from infancy for combat, she still views much of civilian life as mundane and petty. At school, her grades are mixed, with a stark difference readily visible between what she finds interesting and what she doesn’t. She has rotated through most of the school’s sports teams and most physically-focused activity clubs - notably having been asked to leave the school hockey team for what the coach tactfully described as “excessive enthusiasm” - but finds having to hold back against non-augmented opponents frustrating.
