Porche was one of the Maidens of Akhan, the Living goddess of the people of Phan'akhut. Hers was an ancient bronze-age society so old even myths of it have faded from memory. A deeply religious woman she served her Goddess fanatically until the day she was incapacitated.

In last day of her life in her homeland, she had seen a great star come down from the heavens with a blinding light overhead. Impacting over the horizon the explosion it caused made the earth lift up and move like water instantly destroying nearly everything around her and burying her under the dirt. She felt a great pain, and fell comatose, to slumber for untold ages.

Uncovered in a dig she was brought to a research facility where they studied her extensively believing her to be dead but somehow preserved. It wasn't until a scientist attempted to take a sample with a syringe that she suddenly awakened, punched her fist right through the glass containment vessel they had her in to prevent damage, and grabbed the scientist by the throat before throwing him back across the room. Forcing her way out she grabbed her equipment which was also being studied before a security guard arrived and in a panic shot her. Porche slammed the guard with her shield, then brought the edge up to break his jaw before kicking him through the door. Stepping out other facility guards saw her and they opened fire. Her response left 4 men seriously injured and she began searching for a way out of the facility.

By the time she found an exit members of the Powers Division arrived and a fight ensued. Despite taking a number of hits she was unphased and counter-attacking with a great deal of skill she caused numerous injuries. In the end, it was a scientist named Alexis who stopped the fight. Getting the attention of one of the powers divisions she explained what happened and let them know that Porche had not attacked anyone who didn't attack her first. The Powers Division member, Moonlight, took a risk and got the team to back off of the attack. She had not attacked Porche so Porche didn't attack her. Taking a chance and using her telepathic abilities she was able to get across that they did not want to fight. Alexis explained everything they knew about Porche and through a great deal of effort they were able to end hostilities. Fortunately, there had been no fatalities.

She gradually acclimated to her new world. Proving capable of learning new things at an incredible rate she learned English rapidly and in less than a year was completely conversational as a native speaker.

Personality

Porche is very reserved but friendly with a melancholy air. Contemplative, thoughtful, and an almost courtly politeness and poise. She will often sit for hours observing people and listening.

Powers

Porche has thousands of years of combat experience, which makes her an incredibly dangerous opponent in a fight. Her undead nature has made her incredibly durable to the point of being nearly invulnerable to the effects damage and injury. A lack of vital organs means she can shrug off most blows and attacks, even when not protected by her armor. She is not bothered by extremes in temperature and does not tire. Capable of running at a full sprint with all of her equipment she can maintain her pace indefinitely. The sum of these abilities seems to suggest she is able to fight at an Incarnate level of power.

Trivia

Porche can read and write in 36 different languages, However 35 of these languages are dead languages with no known examples

Porche is a superb swimmer and will often go swimming in Talos bay at night. Her untiring endurance and strength combined with not needing to breathe let her both swim in strong currents and dive underwater to explore for hours.

Porche was found buried in dirt layers that were believed to be millions of years old. It is believed that this is in error because of her descriptions of the soil moving like water in the seconds following the impact and that the soil was overturned bringing older layers to the top.

Equipment

Recent analysis by scientists interested have shown her equipment has low level magic at a quantum level. The equipment is for all practical purposes unbreakable and self repairing. This ability is why, despite bronze being the main material, it can hold up to advanced alloys and modern steel. Her deathmask is very similar and is bonded to her through some undetected mechanism.

Biology

Probes by telepaths have uncovered something that was remarkable that they had never before seen and it is a brain structure that overlapped but was partly out of phase. This is interconnected to her regular brain structure across her entire brain. This new structure extended past her physical mind. The suggestion is that this is the source of the Bond, the mental connection that Porche shared with her sisters and to her Goddess. This is a hive mind or interconnected mind that allows for instantaneous communication and coordination. This phased-out structure appears inert but it does appear to be still intact, suggesting that the underlying fabric of it still exists. She does not need it to function but she does feel its absence much like how a lost limb feels.

Her physical biology also shows a number of differences such as lacking tonsils, No appendix. a lack of a spleen, and two organs that served an unknown function. Interestingly one of these organs is attached right about where an appendix would normally be located. Given her undead nature, the purpose of these is impossible to ascertain since they are no longer functional.

Porche survives because she, for all effective purposes, breathes magic. Much like how a plant will absorb water and nutrients from the ground and air Porche seems to absorb an almost undetectable level of background magical energy. This explains why her body was still in perfect condition despite being buried in the earth for thousands of years. She does not eat but can drink, the liquid she drinks seems to convert into magical energy and is "breathed" out.

Porche's hair color is natrual. Her people had a wide range of vibrant hair colors and purple like hers was a common color

For all purposes, Porche appears to be an example of a previously unknown branch of human evolution that may have gone extinct in the distant past.

Backgroup Lore

Phana'Khut

Phana'Khut, the shining jewel of the ancient world. An empire that thrived for thousands of years in a time before Iron. A southern land of lush, dense jungles and soaring jagged mountains. A land of extremes. The empire's fortunes ebbed and flowed over time but the one constant was the faith of Akhan.

Akhan, the living Goddess, was the center point of their faith. A being of great power she and her church provided a bastion of stability and order during even the most trying of times. The Goddess only seldom intervened in the affairs of the empire, usually when it was most needed or her guidance was needed to return the country to a safe course in the worst storms.

She brooked no other gods in these lands and missionaries and preachers seeking to convert people were removed with prejudice. The stability she offered meant few even wanted to deviate from her faith.

Thousands upon thousands of women served in the various religious orders that worshipped her. Some as healers, others as priestesses, and some as warriors. They were separate from the empire's military and answered only to the church but in practical terms they were a second force that often complemented the empire, although their first priority was protecting the temples.

A Maiden

The strongest of arm, mind, and faith were watched and tested. Some were deemed worthy to be offered the chance to become a Maiden. The Goddesses own elite warriors. This was no simple decision, however, for to become a Maiden the woman had to willingly die as a sacrifice to the Goddess. In a Ritual performed by the Goddess herself, the woman was sacrificed. It was her willingness and strength of faith that would keep her soul from passing on as it should and allow the Goddess to capture it and change it, imparting a tiny sliver of herself unto it. Powerful magics reformed the physical body beyond what a human was capable of and the soul returned to create the Maiden.

A maiden has no memories of her past life, though many habits and mannerisms carry over. She is purified of wants and desires except for her service to the Goddess. Things like family bonds, lusts, and wants are erased. It makes a Maiden both inhuman and incorruptible.

A Maiden is a mixture of both a Golem and a Zombie. Made of physical flesh but augmented. Her senses are greatly improved, she no longer needs food, water, or sleep. Temperature extremes do not bother her and she does not breathe. Each maiden shares in the Bond, a telepathic link to all other Maidens and to the Goddess. Her mind is able to observe and never get bored meaning she can stand on guard duty forever but in practice, this is not done because they share in the duties to continually hone their skills.

Upon each maiden a mask of seemingly fragile porcelain was worn, a symbol of both who she was, and a warning that she was a faceless extension of the Goddess's will. Despite its appearance, the mask is completely immune to all damage and it is impossible to remove it from the wearer. When a Maiden finally dies in battle she and her mask dissipate completely as though they were never there.

The Goddess

Akhan, the Goddess that Porche served is unknown to the modern world. No known record of any being claiming that name has been recorded.
