Heroines Are Made #9: A Clockwork L'Orange

So the Enforcers team is now complete, guys!
Sadly, Heromachine has moved to a new server and they are experiencing Serious Technical Difficulties with their login system, so I was unable to post the new version of the following character on my New Universe thread at this time.
Now I know what STD the Samsung Galaxy can catch from sharing playlists with other phones. Just remember that when you share playlists with another Galaxy user, your new Samsung Galaxy is sharing with every phone that other phone has shared with. So please remember to use a phone cover before bumping sensors.

I created this next character when I was just beginning the Clockwork project and screwing around with Heromachine 3. To give you an idea of what kind of character she is without getting myself in too much trouble with the copyright folks at DC and Marvel, her look is somewhat like Zatanna, although I didn't do this intentionally. She's more inspired by Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, and in terms of team function, she's somewhere between Charles Xavier and the Huntress. She was one of my entries into last year's Fashion contest, when she looked a bit more cabaret. She drew some interest but didn't qualify for the polls that week.

Name: Sextant

Alias: Six L'Orange

Team Affiliations: The Enforcers, Clockwork

Race: Human

Birthplace: Paris, France

Powers/Abilities: Superior intellect, reflexes, expert swordsmanship (sword hidden in her cane), precognition.

Bio: The daughter of wealthy French producer Alex L'Orange, Six L'Orange grew up watching Stanley Kubrick movies. Her mother died giving birth to sextuplets, leaving them in the care of a father so absentminded that he could only think to name his identical children after the first six cardinal numbers, Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre, Cinq, and of course, Six. Absorbed in his work, their father would keep the young girls distracted by plopping them down in front of the television before he went on set. Though Six was technically the youngest, she had her sisters easily convinced otherwise, and would use her false seniority to monopolize the DVD player with her favorite movie, Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. It didn't make any sense to her at her young age, but she liked the silly costumes, and the hero (who shared a first name with her father) made her feel safe in her otherwise neglected household.

One day, the movie's surrogate power gave way to an overwhelming desire to see her father, as though he might be in some terrible danger. So as soon as she thought he had gone, she sneaked out of the house and followed on her bicycle, all the way to an abandoned warehouse on the edge of town. Her father had borrowed money from a local mob boss which he failed to pay back, and Six arrived just in time to hear gunshots as the mobster's henchman executed him. In her shock, she stumbled over something that gave away her position and started running as the gunshots turned in her direction.

If she had been made as Alex L'Orange's daughter, that meant her sisters were in danger as well, and she would have to get home as soon as possible.

Six pedaled her bike like Satan himself was after her family, but she again arrived too late. Her father's house was already surrounded by a flashing red-and-blue glow, meaning the police had already responded in the wake of her sisters' murders.

She was entered into a special foster program with U.S. Witness Protection. When she came of age, Six left the program and used her WitSec identity and the self-defense tactics she learned from her supervising marshal (who was also her foster father) to cover a third alias, Sextant. As the Clockwork Orange-inspired heroine, Six would use her innate intelligence and finely honed fighting skills to take revenge against the crime family that had taken her sisters' lives.

Sextant would later realize the larger nature of crime in the world, and assemble a group of numerically inspired heroes to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Soon, Clockwork was born.

I'm getting pretty good at highlighting on black, so next time I'll give you a new Power Suit villain wearing a Little Black Dress. But I'm more likely to have that Amazing Spider-Man 2 review for you first, so stay tuned for Just the Ticket and more characters from my cranium, more dossiers from my dome, and...more growling from my stomach? I need to go to bed before it grows teeth and starts eating me to death. I knew I shouldn't have had them double-fry the meerkats with their ninja jammies on!
