Momo (NPC)

I noticed we didn't have one of these. EC made the first one in 1941, Marvel and DC made their's in May and June 1971 respectively. I feel as if we need a character like this. With out Further ado, Momo! the Living Swamp! As normal, I use my love of Cryptozoology to come up with a background and name.

History: (To understand the rest of this, the history needs to come first.) Rosalina was born to working class parents in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Seeing the area around her as artificial and lifeless, she longed to see a natural world of life. Excelling in math and Sciences in her schooling, she set a course for her self to become a biologist. Earning a top level scholarship to study at the University of Louisiana, she studied with some of the best in the field of ecological development and Swamp biology. Becoming a rising star, she earned the respect of her peers the world over, even having her thesis papers applauded by the North American Wetlands group, the International wildlife fund, and almost every university around.

However, their were two major things holding her back. The first her intense liberalism that made working with locals in the swampy areas hard, as she would argue for hours about politics and distract herself from her work. The second was her body. Being very attractive, she found it hard to be taken seriously by anyone at first, then she always felt the leering eyes of her male (and sometimes Female) colleagues, breaking her concentration a bit. But she worked hard and persevered, And as time drew near to get her degree, she discovered a combination of chemicals that naturally created the legendary fountain of youth. Taking her notes she ran back to report her discovery.

Unfortunately, A oil drilling company had purchased the area and had sent in a group to scout for a good area to drill, And the Group had discovered her. What happened next isn't clear (read: I don't really don't have a reason why she would be dead, so, please fill in the blank yourself), but the encounter ended with Rosalina dead with several large gashes in her body. Throwing her body in the mire that she had discovered the 'Fountain of youth', the Group continued to map out the area. The Chemicals in the swamp filled her body, reawakening her conscience and filling her with a new rage of which she could not control. finding her ability to manipulate the plant life around her, she seeked out the Oil exploration group and murdered them in short order, their bodies fed to the gators and worms of the swamp. There she dwelled, waiting for anyone to come in and harm the swamp, so she could use her powers to extract vengeance upon them. Her main area of protection is the lousiana Bayou, But there have been confirmed reports of her all the way up to Lake Itasca, MN.

Meanwhile, the world still classifies Rosalina Bonifacio as A missing person, as no body ever showed up and a search is still on-going. Most people do not know of who she is or what she does, only seeing her as a monster to be killed, puting her at odds with Supers on both sides danm near constantly.

Roleplay Sample: "Come on!, Come on!" Hal yelled at Jim to keep moving, running. When they went in to the Bayou to collect Alligator eggs, they never thought that they would run in to it. they thought it was a myth. they were wrong. Hal kept running not watching his step he fell and landed head first into the mud. trying to regain his composure, he stood up slowly and looked be hind him, there was nothing but mist and swamp. he backed up and his back hit a hard object. he jumped and spun around to see what he hit. A tree, covered in moss. He breathed a sigh of relief. Just then he felt a drop of warm fluid hit him on the cheek. He looked up and saw Jim, in the tree, full of holes and a branch jammed down his throat. Hal screamed bloody murder, but his screams were silenced by a a loud roar, A swish, a slam, and a wet cracking noise. As Hal's body fell in two, the angry mass of decay hovered over his corpse like a wraith, the mass made a sickening laugh like sound and returned deeper into the swamp. Momo had struck again.
