While most first looks, with her mis-matched, ill-fitting armor and gear, and ridiculous proportions, have her coming across as Yet Another Bimbo (YAB) heroine, those who spend any amount of time on mission with Sentinel 02 cannot deny her quiet, professionalism.

While some have remarked on the (almost angry) energy and dedication she brings to her work, she generally manages to endear herself to her teammates via her cool and calm under fire, protective even motherly behavior, and her work ethic.

Armed almost wholly with non-lethal ammunition, she's establishing a small but growing presence amongst the hero community and online with her more 'average working joe' speech and behavior, seeking to bridge the gap between working heroes, police and security authorities, and the general public.

 > Appearance:

Physically speaking, Derryl can be considered almost two entirely separate people. Derryl as she was BEFORE and Derryl as she was AFTER ATC's treatments.

Before going through ATC's regimen she was a curvaceous and fit, even stocky, swarthy Irish-Arab PPD Officer. Chestnut brown hair with shorn sides over-shadowed almond shaped coal-black eyes. A pert nose above very plump even flat lips. Pretty if one were so inclined but not necessarily 'beautiful.'

After ATC's regimen, her proportions have ballooned and the already curvaceous woman has been variously described as over-the-top, gross, and even, flat out obscene. She's struggled to be taken seriously as a heroine, even more than before as a woman on a predominantly male police force. This change has impacted every facet of her life, mostly negatively.

The obvious issues aside, between this and the controversy surrounding her termination from the PPD, the life she once knew has disintegrated. She's latched onto the only things remaining, namely her family and salvaging a serious career of some sort.

 > Personality:

During her time on the force, her reviews and peers described her as driven, motivated, poised, and aggressive. Her psych evals have her as:

---

" ... a strongly motivated individual with a firm personal moral compass, seeking validation and affirmation from those in positions of authority. Most notably due to the history of her family in Law Enforcement, particularly citing her Grand Father and Father."

"... She has a natural work ethic and stubborn streak when she believes she is in the right. Conversely, she also has self-confidence/self-esteem issues when confronting her seniors."

"Her sense of belonging and community is challenged by her compassion, often bringing her at odds with some of her co-workers when it comes to the treatment of suspects and criminals ..."

~PPD Psych Eval, 23 May 2021

---

Post processing by the ATC, she's had noticeable effects to her personality. Where she was once poised and self-assured both on and off-duty, she is now easily flustered and confused when off-duty. Her firm sense of morality and even self have become loosened by the controversial events leading up to and including her time at Aerie Tech Corporation.

Investigations remain on-going.

\\ AFFILIATIONS

 > The Sentinel Program:

A joint contract between the PPD and ATC, where the ATC provides prototype supplemental meta level personnel at economical cost. A compromise between the expensive and often unreliable 'Super Serum Super Soldiers' of the past and the needs of the PPD for agents that can handle meta-level threats.

Thus the Sentinel Program was born. A combination of Gene Therapy and Chemical Cocktails that enhances the physical and triggers latent mutations but also outsizes primal feminine/masculine attributes and hormones (and hormonal reactions). While the process has been considered an overall success it still experiences an approximate 98% candidate failure rate.

While all successful subjects also experience physical enhancement, there are significant side-effects:

o Enhancement of male/female primal aspects and attributes

o Hormonal (over)reactions

o Decreased intelligence

o Continued unstable mutations

In Males, this has caused significant over-aggressive tendencies and reactions leading to the lone successful male applicant being temporarily restricted from field duty.

All Candidates must undergo weekly Psych Evaluations and twice-weekly chem and gene 'refreshes'.

 > Paragon Police Department (PPD):

Coming from a long line of Police Officers, finding their origin back in Boston, Derryl joined the force with high expectations.

Her promising career was cut short when lurid and degrading private videos of her and her superior at the PPD were leaked online. Her superior was given a slap on the wrist and she was summarily terminated.

The videos have damaged her reputation and credibility amongst the PPD though she maintains a few steadfast friends and allies.

 > Paragon Girls Club (PGC):

The PGC was a short-lived small business begun by Barry 'The Boss' Bauswell and his partner in crime, Finn 'The Rat' Fein. The company pulled together low (power) potential meta capable beings and initially provided them as rent-a-cop style 'security' for those that couldn't afford real security.

They eventually discovered there was more money in dressing them as fancy, if scantily clad, security for events that needed pretty faces as window dressing rather then real security.

The company was eventually bought out as part of a larger deal by ATC and their employees given the choice to be laid off or join the Sentinel Program.

 > Aerie Tech Corporation (ATC):

"The Sky's the Limit!"

A relatively 'young' Aerospace company making a name for itself with 'out of the box thinking' and 'innovative solutions' that has recently branched out into other arenas, including meta enhancement.

Orion Meta Industries floundered financially after it was discovered the owner, Dr. Howard Mansell, was actually the Arch Villain, Dr. Mindfold, and was using the company to test radical new procedures and serums on unsuspecting victims. This opened the door for their acquisition by ATC and refinement of their Gene Therapy and Bio-Chem Cocktail process. Now with Federal approval, they've moved into human trials.

Their current 'Sentinel Project' being their largest and most significant profit-potential contract to date.

\\ ASSOCIATIONS

 > Family:

 Brian TannenbottomPPD:Captain | Retired 

- Father:55

Coming from a long line of hard boiled police officers, Brian Tannenbottom served with distinction all of his life ... until the sickness hit. Picking up the same mutating contagion while investigating a 'sickness' that had infected some of his men, he's now almost permanently disabled.

Without the aid of ATC, facilitated by Derryl's work for them, he'd likely be laid up in a hospital or dead like his men. And while he has his good and bad days, the illness continues to ravage him. Where he was once a looming brawny comforting presence, now only a shadow of his former self.

 Fatima TannenbottomLibrarian | Deceased 

- Mother:37 (at age of death)

A loving mother who unfortunately died when caught in the cross-fire between the PPD, Heroes, and some Hellions.

It was her that instilled the deep-seated compassion that helps direct the cold hard sense of justice they learned from their father.

 Robert 'Robby' TannenbottomStudent | Active 

- Brother:17

Derryl's younger brother is precocious and intelligent. He'd been getting into trouble with the local gangs after their mother died. This behavior only intensified when their father got sick and money got tight.

Desperate to get him back on the right track, she'd accepted any job she could get, eventually falling in with the PGC. Joining the Sentinel Project honestly seemed like a golden opportunity to fix all of their problems, with ATC willing to pick up the tab for Rob's college education.

 > Work:

 Darren SternPPD:Captain | Active 

- Ex-Boyfriend

A rising star himself amongst the PPD, Darren was caught in the embarrassing situation of being involved with a junior officer. In this case, it was Derryl and rather than humiliate their Golden Boy, the PPD decided to simply deal with Derryl.

 Fatima TannenbottomPPD:Captain | Active 

- PPD Liaison with the ATC

 Regina 'Nails' HornATC:Handler | Active 

- Liaison between Sentinel Program inductees and Corporate

 Barry 'The Boss' BauswellATC:Program Mgr | Active

 Dr. Howard MansellSuper Villain | Imprisoned 

- Former owner of Orion Meta Industries

A former pillar of Paragon's Community (and just all around nice-guy) before outed as the Super Villain, "Dr. MindFold." Currently serving time at the Zig.

\\ POWERS

Derryl's so-called powers are a result of latent or minimal mutations being catalyzed into presenting or simply forced into overdrive when already active. This results in her running 'hotter' than most people as her body, when stressed and/or in action, is in essence, always running at max throttle.

The obvious consequence being she has to eat more to sustain her constant 'burn' of energy. More significantly, it means that in a long duration, high stress context, it is possible she ends up 'burning out'; passing out or even falling into a coma as her brain overheats and she runs out of energy. In the worst cases, this could mean potential brain damage and even death.

She is a being in constant flux and it is possible that new powers and capabilities (as well as issues) may present as her processing continues.

 > Benefits:

o +Durability: Even if her buffer shields fail, she's resilient enough to survive low-calibre weapon fire, though with injury.

o +Regeneration: She will heal from almost any wound given sufficient time. It is possible, even fatal blows to the skull or heart can be regenerated from though this hasn't been tested.

o +Physicality: She is stronger and faster and more coordinated than any Olympian.

 > Drawbacks:

o -Intelligence: The process has effectively reduced her mental capabilities. The limit and/or continued causes of it are unknown and under investigation.

o +Hormonal Response: Enhanced hormonal responses to instinctive triggers. That is, when any of her instincts are triggered, they tend to go overboard. This includes but is not limited to protectiveness (children, teammates, etc.), mothering (taking care of teammates), and more.

o +Metabolic Rate: Besides the increased consumption and other effects detailed above, this is technically a mixed bag. Due to her increased metabolic rate she is both affected by poisons and the like more quickly but her body also dumps it faster, allowing her to recover quickly.
