Villains Are Made #10: The Little Black Dress

Happy belated Mothers' (Mother's?) Day, Ticketholders! I was timely and thoughtful (but not extravagant) with my gift-giving this year. Just some chocolate and a gift card, accompanied by a serendipitously appropriate card that turned out to be the only one like it left in the store. And it's always nice for a mom to not have to cook or clean anything on a day meant to celebrate her.

I'm back after another 'machine session (between more important expenditures of time, this character took four days to design from scratch) with another villain from the top of my vertebrae. She's the only female member of the Power Suits, a team of armor-clad antagonists based on various types of suits and clothing-related phrases.

Name: Kurosutsu Sukoshi
Team Affiliations: The Power Suits, The Yakuza
Enemies: The Enforcers, Frank Hallows
Race: Human
Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan
Powers/Abilities: Anti-Knavium battle armor (Enhanced strength and reflexes, red matter energy shields), skilled at hand-to-hand combat.
Bio: Sukoshi is the only child of crime boss Kurosutsu Shibomo, who was betrayed and killed by Nihonto and Shirudo, his two most trusted Yakuza. Sukoshi took over the organization following her father's death, and fueled by her long-simmering jealousy toward her adopted sisters and a newfound desire for vengeance, Sukoshi enlisted the help of her organization's science division to develop a suit of armor far more sophisticated and powerful than Shirudo's prosthetics.
The Yakuza scientists fashioned a shield-equipped suit from anti-Knavium (a carbon-Knavium alloy that was tempered through bombardment with anti-matter particles). When powered by a stolen and modified P.A.T.C.H. core, the anti-Knavium suit produced a new kind of energy called "red matter," which had the potential to disperse anti-matter, rendering Shirudo's shield projectors useless. Unfortunately, prolonged use of the Anti-Knavium armor has deformed Sukoshi and left her wholly dependent upon the armor for her survival. The severity and nature of her underlying symptoms is unknown at this time.
Notes: Sukoshi means "little" in Japanese. Kuro means "black," and sutsu is Romanized Japanese for "suit." The name Shibomo is derived from words meaning "fat" (Shibo) and "lord" (omo).

Tomorrow is New Release day in the rental sector, so stay tuned to see if anything I watch is worth the disk it's encoded on. Another heroine from my head is sure to follow.
