=Devoid of Due Consideration=
''Thunderous doom who drowns all screams. Earth-shaking rumble of scientific triumph. Resounding and final echo before endless silence. Avid bird watcher.

==Virtues==

* '''Major:''' Justice
Engraved into her heart, her core, her very base-layer: the core of Due Consideration. ''Justice''. Wreak bloody vengeance against those who'd wrong your people. Find them. Flay them. Long years may have softened this calling, but the drums never stopped beating. Not really. They are incessant. And they resound even in the dark...

* '''Minor:''' Loyalty
Better, she thinks, than lonely missions away from those you care for. Better, she thinks, than the constant coming home to the damage and decay of change after long days away. ''Loyalty''. Stand by those you care for. Be there for them. It's a more honest way of life.

==Intimacies==

* '''Major:''' ''name'' (Principle) [virtue]
She learnt this before she Exalted. She learnt this in Hell. She learnt this from her mentor. To ''fix'' Creation, you must first bring it to its knees. And to do that, you must topple its most corrupt pillar: the foundation on which all its evils are laid bare. 

* '''Minor:''' name - emotion (Tie) [virtue]
Hatred for a slaver. This is an empty hate. A hollow one. A hatred born by saying "I hate, I hate, I hate..." again, and again, and again. Staring into a shadowed mirror; sat in a darkened room: "I hate, I hate, I hate..." until a malignant seed begins to bloom.

* '''Minor:''' name (Principle) [virtue]

=EXALT=
''Darksteel Alchemical''

'''Exalt Milestone:''' gained by punishing the wicked or assisting another character with vengeance or attaining a just outcome. I determine what Connie deems wicked or just. 

* '''Living Artefact'''
You are a machine - as much an artefact as a living person. You can hold an artefact to install one of its Evocations as your own Charm during the Rite of Reconfiguration (you must meet its prerequisites). Once installed, you can use the Evocation as if it were an innate Charm, without needing access to the artefact itself. You may only have one such Evocation at a time, but can swap between existing ones during Reconfiguration. 

* '''Community Spirit'''
You form bonds with communities that will accept you, and to whose purpose you can lend your strength! Connie gains a three-dice bonus to attacks when fighting to avenge or correct injustices to her community. 

'''Resonances:''' Darksteel

===ANIMA EFFECTS===

* '''Dark Presence''' (Passive)
Connie can intimidate trivial targets without a roll. She gains her Essence in automatic successes to attempts to intimidate or frighten non-trivial targets. 

* '''Shroud of Fear''' (Active)
Anyone who targets the Soulsteel with a Close Combat attack must make a reflexive integrity roll against difficulty 3 on Step 1 before any other effects are rolled, or the attack fails and must target someone else.

* '''Steel's Rebuke''' (Iconic)
The Alchemical reduces enemy Soak by half her Force, rounded up, on Step 7 when she targets them with an attack. 

==The Great Curse==

'''Incitement'''
* Someone acts against her Major Intimacy.
* She acts against her Major Virtue. 
* A community she has an Intimacy toward is threatened, ignores her advice or openly disdains her help.

When Connie succumbs to the curse, she switches to a Crisis Behaviour which lasts for the indicated length.

'''Crisis Behaviour''' (pg.88-89)
* Gathering Procedures (Scene)
* Necessary Instruction (Session)
* Revolutionary Reactions (Session)
* Supplementary Paranoia (Scene) 
* Universal Threat Detection (Scene)

=MERITS=

* '''Artefact''' (Primary)
[[Crickets_Conundrum:Devoid_of_Due_Consideration:Charms_and_Artifacts#Cadenza|Cadenza]]: resembling an enormous Firewand forged from the blackest Soulsteel, Cadenza is more akin to a ‘man-portable’ ballista. Firing solid metal stakes at thunderous speeds, it was built to deliver justice and vengeance from afar. Comes with affixed orichalcum bayonet!

* '''Command''' (Tertiary)
A handful of [[Crickets_Conundrum:Devoid_of_Due_Consideration:Notes#Bit_Swarm|Bit Swarmers]], typically nested underneath Connie's armour. In Combat, they deploy and encircle her, providing semi-autonomous fire support. Almost sentient, their sea-song chirping is a stilted though understandable language.

=EQUIPMENT=

* Heavy Armour
* A large case for Cadenza. Has space for a suite impossibly fine tools and plenty of cleaning supplies.
