((Hi, All. New the Fourms, especially new to the RP forums (I haven't lurked here before), but this is too good an opportunity to pass up. Here goes. I tried to hit most of the themes from the intro story. These were the ones I picked up on: (Shakespeare, Classics (including character name), Escapism, Literature, Fantasy, Weaponry, Being/Non-Being, Physics?
Note: For super-duper continuity it could be Mercury instead of Hermes, but he really played up the trade bit of the portfolio he inherited from Hermes.))
Unknown to most, Hermes gets to pick a "Chosen" every 4 centuries or so. Shakespeare was the last one, and developed his gift of resonance with the Realm of Fiction (an etherial plane over which Hermes has stewardship) into Playwriting so intense, vibrant, and magical it may as well have been termed Dramaturgy.
It is now Isabelle DeBois' turn. She developed her resonance in various more practical ways, especially for a superhero. Her mastery of summoning the Ether than forms the Fiction Place allows her to:
Injure and Incapacitate others with Fiction Ether that fades as they disbelieve it.
Draw foes into "her story" temporarily causing them to fight for her side.
Surround herself and others in a bubble of Ether. If not participating, they're as removed from action as a narrator or chorus. If acting, the ether still causes them to be both there and not-there, limiting injury.
Eventually, she can even draw forth companions from Fiction itself to fight alongside her.
Since she's using her Chosen Powers to fight, her patron Hermes grants her secondary abilities over Speed and Healing.

((I'm not very creative at costume designs, but I was messing around and on teh female bodytype the "Cube" "Chest Detail" kind of looks like an open book if you color the the top part of the cube to match the background color.))
