Gamma

Gamma is one one of the Chinatown Metas. She has hard radiation powers.

Description
Gamma is a shortish Chinese woman in her late-twenties with military bearing and a no-nonsense attitude.

Background
Both of Gamma's parents worked in a nuclear power station than was damaged in the quake of 2032. The couple were irradiated, though it wasn't immediately fatal. About 9 months afterwards Gamma was born. Despite concerns, she appeared to be a completely healthy baby.

Happiness was shortlived: her parents died within 5 years, and the baby proved to have hard-radiation powers. She state raised her to be the soldier she was destined to be, and she learned well, becoming an officer and serving with the regular air force as well as in meta units.

During the civil war, she notoriously led a very successful and bloody raid into the camp of the Dragon Army, killing a number of leading imperialist metas.

Powers
Gamma has radiation powers and the ability to change herself into a cloud of radon. When attacked the struck part of her body reflexively disperses for an instant defensively.

She can fly, but only in gaseous form.

Personality
Gamma is a no-nonsense military sort. She does her duty, and has remained unwaveringly loyal to the old regime.

Relations
Gamma keeps her personal feelings to herself, so her relationships, at least with most of her colleagues, are businesslike. She gets on well with the similarly soldierlike Rocket.

History
Gamma escaped to Colonial Bay from the Siege of Beijing with the other Chinatown Metas.
