While Triage isn’t much of a fighter, she picks up on defensive and healing skills. She regularly takes on first-aid and medical courses as Triage, and works as a phlebotomist in her free time. She volunteers as a nurse’s aid in a retirement home whenever she can.
She also took several business classes for managing her own rogue business.
Genesis takes self-defense classes at the local PRT whenever she can.
Mentality
Genesis can be best described as a business woman. She works for the highest bidder and that’s it. When she isn’t busy paying bills and living on a day-to-day basis, Genesis is mostly neurotic in an endearing way. She often cooks and cleans, often cleaning her windows twice a day, sometimes three times. She seems to suffer from an undiagnosed case of borderline personality disorder, causing her to get up and down in her mood.
Power
Triage is a brute/shaker who can transfer wounds from other living beings to themself, healing them as an after-effect, transferring wounds to themself works via Line-of-sight.
Triage can then give lesser versions of those wounds (1/2 potency at max) to anyone they can touch selectively at their choice. Each instance of a wound can be transferred to someone once.
And they cannot transfer a wound they themself copied onto someone, to avoid recursive damage farming.
Triage themselves are a brute, they are incapable of bleeding to death, and can power through a great deal of grievous bodily harm, as though they were on power-induced life support, handling damage similar to that of a zombie.
They possess a slow but extremely meticulous regeneration, this regeneration is capable of healing any wound barring brain-damage over the course of 5-7 days. With soft tissue healing faster than bone.
And while they still feel pain, it is dulled, and their power lets them much more easily keep there composure and poker-face by dissociating from their physical sensations to a degree.
When copying wounds to another person, it cuts through usual Manton protections, IE transferring burns to someone who is immune to flames/heat, or transferring bruises to someone who is otherwise immune to kinetic damage.
When transferring wounds to someone with different biology, the shard does its best to make approximately equal wounds. If you try to transfer a leg wound to someone with no legs, it might appear as an arm wound instead. If a power interaction would be uncertain consult an approver for a verdict.
Example: “Jesus Christ, I hate vomit.” Triage grumbled, hiding behind a dumpster. Fucking stupid capes triggering people’s syncope reflex. These people sucked.
The poor girl was barfing up everything ranging from regular vomit to blood. Triage set down the area, avoiding herself and a civilian who was still around. She moved around the vomiting, spreading it to the villains. She could feel the nausea and retching in their bodies. Triage smiled, pushing that feeling even more, concentrating it between the pair of villains, and reducing it in the poor girl.
The poor girl still seemed sick, but she was going to be fine.
Those villains, though, didn’t seem to know that they were getting a taste of their own medicine today.
Backstory
Genesis Gomez was born in Mexico. Raised in a globetrotting family, she never had the time to get used to a place before moving again. As she grew increasingly dejected from her family, she found kinship on the Internet and her online games. Genesis was always known as a nerdy kid, so her parents were actually glad that she managed to make friends with some people, even if she had never, and would never, meet them in person.
Tragically, some of her friendships were less than ideal, and due to her immense empathy, Genesis’ started to spiral. What started as genuine sympathy turned to pity and then self-derision. Genesis had never been comfortable in her body: it was too big, her skin was too dark, her hair was too ugly, everything didn’t fit like broken pieces of a puzzle. And her ‘friends’ started to pick that up, and use it against her.
When Genesis was around 15, she started to self-harm out a cry for help. Nobody noticed, however, and as her self-harm grew increasingly more and more violent and intense, so did her grief against herself. When her parents realized, it was already too late for her and her skin was intensively scarred and injured. They came back to Mexico, and hospitalized her at a ward. The issue at the psych ward was once again her empathy. Everyone’s suffering around her felt so painful, and so real in her mind. Seeing so many people suffer, and feeling so disgusting at herself, she wished she could just go back to taking on the pain of others. After a late night spent at the ER getting stitches, she triggered upon re-entering the psych ward, noticing a new arrival covered in scars.
After her trigger, Genesis chose to help others. She became a rogue and worked as a healer. However, many cartels and gangs wanted their hands on her, and she often had to move with her parents around Mexico, and then the United States. The United States were still not safe for her, however, as new gangs still wanted her. Genesis went to the Protectorate, and offered her services as rogue: she’d heal their injuries at the cost of protection. This meant she wasn’t part of the roster, and she wouldn’t be called to fights, but as a rogue contractor, she was still getting paid by the Protectorate to heal them. She still took on many jobs from non-Protectorate, but avoided villain jobs.
Triage is now a nationally known on-field healer. She is often in demand, and genuinely enjoys the attention she gets from it. She still wants to help others, and recently, due to her parents' ailing health, she started saving up money for their retirement and their medical treatment.
Genesis Gomez after seeing the Reclaimers’ actions in Devilfish made the choice to come to the city to help them deal with the crisis. If she were lucky, she’d be able to get the paycheck she needs to pay for her parents’ retirement.
