Character Development
}“What did you expect?”~ Curie{Personality
—~—}Cold Core
Those who interact with Eleanor Curie are quick to find that she can come off as rather cold and icy, her exterior hard and chill to the touch as steel. This wasn’t always the case, inklings of the warmer and brighter person she once was buried deep beneath that gelid demeanour, but the woman that people encounter now seldom shows any of that. She is what she is, frosty and distant to the vast majority.
Physicist: Scientific & Supernatural
Impassioned from her teenage years on the marvels of science and the prospect of clean, safe, fully renewable energy for mankind, Miss Curie spent much of her life studying and developing theories based on the perfect energy. Though much of her thoughts were the musings of an adventurous mind more than a scientifically logical one, there should be no doubt that her understanding of the world’s fundamental forces—and now her expanding understanding of the fundamentals beyond The Veil—makes her a true scientific pioneer. To put it bluntly, she is far from afraid to experiment.
Familial Bonds
Eleanor isn’t without warmth in her heart, but it’s exclusively reserved for a part of her life that has since been tainted by the very power that now courses through her. Husband-to-be and child, cursed to a state of life that most would barely even call living, each hold a special place in her heart. Everything she does she does so for them first and foremost, one day hoping she can reverse the process. Threatening them—threatening her chances of mending them—is more than enough to get on her worst side.
Woman, Or Weapon?
There’s a fine line between a soldier being a man of valour and being a tool of his superiors, a delicate balance between morality and misconception. Curie comprehends this just as any mortal should, but the world of Devil Hunters is a world that further blurs the line, especially when certain factions have their own ideologies. She works to retain some semblance of normalcy amidst the chaos, but when it gets right down to it, she doesn’t see herself—nor others like her—as anything more than blades to be drawn against abyssal incursions. Either be efficient and thorough, or die trying.{Appearance
—~—}Body Shape, Facial Features, Etc.
Eleanor Curie stands at a rather average height of approximately 5’7” (170 cm), weighing in at around 126 pounds (57.1 kg). Her figure is quite slender, toned decently, but otherwise rather standard without any exceptionally discerning basic characteristics. However, there is one thing that immediately stands out to anyone who sees her, that being the unusual skin tone she possesses—a slightly metallic grey hue.
Abnormal complexion aside, Curie’s face is of a smooth diamond shape with small features and a straight nasal bridge. Her narrow, almond shaped eyes are defined by a once natural hazel hue that has since taken on a slightly more abnormal cacophony of colours, shifting between natural hues of blue, green, hazel, and brown in a manner that makes eye recognition technology mostly useless. Her hair is ashen white, stripped of its once chestnut colouration, and is mostly kept tied back into a bun, though it demonstrates Cherenkov radiation. Similar phenomena can sometimes be perceived in her eyes and just under her skin, creating odd visuals.
Outfit & Accessories
Under close observation, Curie is typically seen wearing a hospital gown of sorts, though she does plan to amend that as soon as she is able. Beyond that, she has been provided a special suit that protects outsiders from the passive radiation she generates.{• Radiation Blocker}
What amounts to a high visibility orange ‘reverse’ hazmat suit lined with lead film and equipped with various scanners, Geiger counters, and other tools for accurately tracking Curie’s current status. Its purpose is simply to protect those outside of the suit from what’s inside. It’s absolutely nothing special.
Curie doesn’t yet wear any particular accessories.{Skills
—~—}Nuclear Physicist
A pioneering mind in the field of nuclear radiation and energy research, Eleanor’s research and genius gives her an extremely deep—though seldom shared—comprehension of the finer details of life. She’s a certified intellectual and knows the ins and outs of her field thoroughly, though she’s loathe to admit that recent changes have caused her a great need to review her studies.{Personal Effects
—~—}Engagement Ring
A symbol of her would-be-fiancé’s proposal, it’s a rather basic ring of high quality platinum with a small, cleanly cut emerald—a very valuable piece for its aesthetic simplicity. Admittedly, Eleanor doesn’t wear it due to the fact that Joseph wasn’t actually able to propose to her, but keeps it safe as a symbol of understanding. He wouldn’t have wanted it the way it currently is, patience is a virtue.{Relationships
—~—}Joseph “Fat Man” Weaver
Eleanor’s boyfriend—fiancé had he been properly able to propose—who sadly succumbed to a rampant surge of transmutative magic coupled with ionising radiation. Much like Curie herself, the event left him far from a man, and the nickname his colleagues had for so long given him became a dark moniker for his current form. Though Curie was able to purge his body of the radiation, and he does retain some semblance of his humanity locked beneath his more monstrous malform, she wasn’t able to reverse the process. He spends much of his time in their bunker, safe from harm.
“Little Boy”
Not even to the point of having been given a name, Eleanor’s unborn child was similarly malformed by the very same surge of magic and radiation. Pronounced dead by the doctors more for the event than the reality, Curie actually found that there was some fragment of life within the foetus, which now exists and moves as its own small, undefined entity. Curie upholds a promise to Joseph—they would decide on a name together—but she hopes that she can reverse the process and actually give a true life.

Combat Data
}“Unfortunately, you seem to have made one crucial miscalculation: The suit is not here to protect me, but to protect you from me…!”~ Curie{Traits
—~—}Leaden Body
Racial Trait
Durability
Curie’s physical body bristles with radiation and, after enduring such punishment and the effects it had on her, she has become significantly tougher than any normal human has a right being. Damage doesn’t seem to cut as deep as normal and the pain itself is numbed somewhat, making her a highly durable opponent.
Rad Absorption
Racial Trait
Resistance
An unusual characteristic of being involved in such an incident has made it so Curie herself is highly resistant—if not completely immune—to the negative effects of radioactivity and similar radiation. Indeed, her body actually absorbs and accumulates it from her surroundings, but it can still be problematic to her (and those around her) in high doses.{Combat Foci

Gates — Elemental Mastery & Transmutation
Harnessing the fundamental aspect of nature that is nuclear force, Curie is capable of unleashing various implementations of her power encompassing offensive, defensive, and motive potential. Radiation in her body as well as the surroundings becomes a resource that is excited, collected, and then altered to suit the present need. Though it can be dangerous due to the presence of ionising radiation, it can be made extremely versatile with time and mastery, neither of which Curie has had a chance to attain. So far, she is incapable of doing anything more than being moderately dangerous to people around her.{• Techniques:—}

Background
}“I’m sorry… I’ll find a way. I promise…”~ Curie• Captivated by the world of science from a young age, Eleanor Curie was basically fated to become a scientific pioneer at some point in her life. Her parents of decent upbringing and education themselves, she would be top of her class in most academic subjects—physics and chemistry proving to be her forte—and eventually have the opportunity to pursue her dreams of science at one of the world’s leading Universities.
• Intelligence her best friend, Curie’s enthusiasm and studiousness was proof of a pioneer in the making, her devotion to trying to find the safest and most efficient energy for humanity a catalyst for success. By her late twenties, the name ‘Dr. Eleanor Curie’ was often compared to such famous names as scientists and inventors such as Nikola Tesla and Marie Curie (with whom she shares no blood relation)—names which she refused to compare herself to out of respect for the legends that sparked her own quest. She wasn’t on their level, not yet; far from it.
• Curie’s pursuit of progress would eventually lead her to overseeing the scientific aspects of the construction of a new nuclear energy facility in eastern France. There, she’d meet the man who would change her life. Joseph Weaver, a nuclear engineer and technician, and the two would eventually forge a relationship. However, as Curie would eventually find out, the world had intentions beyond clean energy designs.
• When monsters wish to cause havoc, monsters do so without regard for whom they might harm or what they might cause. Demons decided it was time for chaos and chaos came, finding focus around the facility during its first true reactor procedure. Unaware of the reality of the two worlds at this point, Eleanor’s greatest scientific attempt was doomed to fail with catastrophic results, on a scale not usually incurred by demonic incursions at that. A meltdown had begun.
• In an incredible display of bravery when all else failed, the facility’s chief engineer and technician—Joseph himself—made a bold attempt to manually shut down the demon-sabotaged reactor. His attempt failed, however, when demons breached the control room and allowed the rising radiation to pour in, willingly sacrificing their physical forms to create as much destructive potential as possible. Curie couldn’t bear it, overcome by one thing that science just couldn’t control—her emotions.
• Breaking away from attempts to keep her away, Doctor Eleanor Curie took the reins and rushed in despite the obvious risk to her mortal life. Demons be damned. Somehow, through means she couldn’t fathom, Curie succeeded at a manual shutdown, despite blurred vision and the influence of radiation starting to destroy her body. She passed out, expecting the cold embrace of death.
• Death wasn’t planning on taking her, however. When Eleanor Curie awoke, she did so feeling strange to say the least—heavy and sluggish and yet buzzing with energy that didn’t seem to want to leave. An unfamiliar place, sealed with only rudimentary utilities perhaps better suited to a prisoner than a patient. Wherever she was, it was owned by an organisation called the Templars, and numerous horrifying truths would be revealed to her while she was cautiously observed. Joseph had survived, sort of, and so too had their son… Curie hadn’t even realised she was pregnant yet. But the reason she was kept under lock and key was simple: She was dangerous, had somehow absorbed a good deal of the radiation spilling out, and had apparently demonstrated the workings of some form of magic. She was an object of study, yet to be truly tested…
