Publicly Available Information
PRT / Government Information
Costume Appearance
Clad in black heavy combat armor similar to that worn by PRT shock troopers, albeit a much more futuristic design. An opaque visor completely hides her face, and a NUCLEUS voice scrambler distorts her voice beyond recognition both over comms and in-person.
Civilian Appearance
A figure of average height and toned build. Due to the circumstances of her trigger, her body is covered in scars, the aftermath of chemical burns, and one of her eyes has gone a bit cloudy. She has thus far declined parahuman healing for these scars.
As yet, her appearance has remained a mystery, both to the public and to her Protectorate co-workers.
Mentality
Professional and highly-driven, Retcon is also stubborn to a fault. If she thinks she's in the right it will take an act of god to sway her. In addition, thanks to the circumstances of her trigger, she has what some might call "trust issues". She has something of a "mama bear syndrome" for her team, going out of her way to make sure they're taken care of. When it comes down to it, the ends justify the means.

Parahuman Power
Retcon is a Stranger/Striker with the power to, as her name suggests, retcon reality. The power operates differently on living creatures versus objects, due to Manton limitations.
On Objects:
Upon touching an object, Retcon reverses any effects on the object, up to a week prior. Bullets return to guns, a wrecked car becomes whole again, shredded and burned documents become readable, and so on. If the object in question is a shard metamaterial, reverting it prior to its creation nopes it from this reality. Objects reverted retain their position.
On Living Creatures:
The ability to retcon life is similar, but different. Upon touching a person (or living creature), she can reverse up to 24 hours of effects, returning them to their state prior to that point. Injuries will be healed, removed Tinkertech brought back, and so on. Of note, those who have this happen to them lose all memories of that time, as their brains have reverted as well.
Retcon takes those lost memories, and relives them in the instant of her power going off.
- Trigger events are a hard time boundary for her power, she cannot cause someone to untrigger or bring them to a state prior to triggering.
- Shard-influenced memory loss (read: c53ism) cannot be reverted.
- In reliving the memories of those retconned, she will not be subjected to any Master effects the retconned person may have been under.
- She cannot undead people, if someone dies that's a hard stop. If they can be resuscitated via other means, she can subsequently revert "past" the death point.
- People reverted retain their position (no teleporting ppl).
- Retcon can retcon herself, but this deletes the memories entirely.
