Previously in play as re_engineer at GreatestJournal.
Character Information
Name: Angela "Angie" Spica
Alias: The Engineer
Age: Early 30's
Fandom Universe: The Authority
City Residence: The Carrier. She keeps an apartment in New York, though.
Physical Description (including desired PB):
Angie is slightly taller than average for a woman. Athletic and muscular, she definitely looks like she keeps herself in shape. Which most people can see, of course, because underneath that metallic coating, she actually wears far less than Emma Frost in the middle of a heatwave.
Normally, Angie is a fairly pretty woman, with dark hair and green eyes. In 'uniform' (which she's actually in quite a lot), Angie is coated in a skin of silvery liquid metal, which can shift into just about anything that she can think of.
PB will be Rachel Weisz, with comic art for The Engineer.
Brief Power Description:
The Engineer's blood has been replaced with a metallic liquid filled with nanotech--tiny machines which are controlled by her will. She coats her body with a layer of metal to protect herself from harm. The nanotech gives her amazing technological abilities, from making weapons to radiotelepathy bugs to gigantic bug zappers, by taking the raw materials from the air surrounding her. According to Angie, all the books in the world can be stored on a single drop of her blood. The tech allows her to fly and also allows her to make duplicates of herself. She can operate up to 80 of these duplicates without her mind shattering.
Brief History:
Angie Spica is not the first Engineer. The first was part of a group that wanted to change the world by removing the structure of society. However, they were stopped by Stormwatch and the Engineer was killed.
He had a failsafe in place, however, and all his notes were downloaded into the home computer of Angela Spica, a scientific genius working on human-machine fusion. She had known the original Engineer, though she hadn't known what else he had done until that moment. The notes started linking themselves to her work, eventually leading her to distill an incalculable number of nanotechnological machines into nine pints of liquid machinery, replacing her blood with it.
It was Jenny Sparks who found and recruited her for the Authority. Angie joined and found the Carrier with the help of the Doctor (Jeroen Thorndike, now deceased). The Carrier, a sentient interdimentional 'shiftship', ended up as the base for the Authority. She started up an open relationship with Jack Hawksmoor and became good friends with Jenny Sparks. When 'God' (actually an alien entity that had created the Earth as a retirement home) came home to destroy the world, Angie was the one who joined with the Carrier to get it to move out of Earth space and toward the entity. It was in taking out 'God' that the Authority lost Jenny Sparks.
Even saving the world hasn't kept Angie away from science. Her mind is always working. She even found the cure for a common form of leukemia while staring at her hash-browns. The only thing that stopped her, for a time, was when the Authority was taken out by the corporations, which installed a new Authority in their place. The liquid metal in her blood was siphoned away and replaced with the blood of a heroin addict and her memories replaced. She was forced into the life of a minimum wage clerk with an abusive husband and six children, all played by actors. Shen (another member of the Authority) broke her out of it, though, after freeing herself.
When the Authority broke apart, Angie stayed with the Carrier. And, most often, with Jack. And when Jenny Quantum wanted the Authority back together and to take out Bendix, they both agreed. Though it was as much Jenny telling them as anything else. When Bendix took over Midnighter's brain, it was Angie who was able to get in and free him from Bendix's control.
Now, with things mostly under control on Earth, Angie spends a lot of time in the lab. Though when the others joined the Hero Network, she did too. She just...doesn't pay all that much attention to the boards. That's why she has radiotelepathy, people.
