Warrior (+1 Finesse +1 Physical)

Background

The human brain is a remarkable thing. Even when the body dies, the mind may survive a while. Sophia is the product of such. Her mind is constructed from the shadows of fourteen amazons who fell during the raid on Themescria by Heracles. Her body is a clone, extensively enhanced and for a mortal extremely strong and tough.

With the amazon civilisation in decline against more divine favoured groups, especially the Dorian, Sophia of 14 seeks to reverse the trend, throw down the Greeks and their gods and find out who it was who created her.
