Name: Sally Yeager

Superhero Name: Ferric

DOB: August 1, 2002

POB: Coudersport, PA

Age: 14

Species: Raccoon

Nationality: American

Height: 80 inches / 6'11” / 211 cm. Still growing.

Weight: 1750 pounds / 795 kilograms

Eye Color: Hazel

Hair Color: Black

Physical Appearance: Sally is a fairly typical teenager in appearance in most ways aside from her sheer size. At 14, she is already close to 7 foot tall (and still growing), and broad in proportion. She is not actually bulked up with muscle – her strength is due more to the nature of her mutant metabolism and density – and she is no more stocky relative to her size than the average raccoon. So far, she is only a C-cup (given her size, it looks more like a B) but is hoping she's not done developing yet. Her fur and claws are unusual. Although she has the normal raccoon color patterns, the fur itself is metallic, and appears as if she's been done up with black metallic glitter. It is also a bit stiffer than normal fur. Her claws are metallic as well. Her black hair is kept in a braid that reaches half-way down her back (trying to cut it tends to wreck trimmers and scissors. Slipstream once suggested having Laser Vixen trim it.)


Occupation: High school student.


Areas of Operation: Colmaton. Her family has been relocated from Pennsylvania to Michigan as part of the BOS identity protection program.


Weapons/Items: Utility belt w/ first aid kit, flashlight, snacks, etc.
BoS Communicator
Titanium spear carried in a back-scabbard.


Personal Transport: Generally by foot – she can jog at a sustained 20 mph. Her weight makes it difficult for her to use public transportation (aside from trains) or automobiles smaller than panel trucks.

Powers ***: Super-strength – she is already capable of bench-pressing over fifty tons.
Invulnerability – her skin and fur are highly resistant to shock and penetration, and she has taken heavy machine gun fire with no significant damage.
Immunity to disease – her metabolism and body chemistry are too exotic for most disease
organisms to affect her. Her reaction to toxins is variable.
***
Although both she and the BoS are still unaware of it, she has an immunity to those forms of magic that are weakened by cold iron – she effectively IS living cold iron. And in a technical sense, she has abilities conferred by her mutant metabolism. Her actual power is to be able to move at normal speed. Drain rays, somaform, and collars remove that power, leaving her with all her normal abilities but operating at a 200:1 slowdown. Under those conditions, she will experience only 18 seconds of subjective time per hour – which means that a collar will give her captors about a ten minute window to get 100 ton test restraints on her before she rips it off in slow motion...


Fighting Styles: Quarterstaff. She uses her spear both as a quarterstaff and as a thrown weapon. Without it, she's pretty much just a brawler. She is capable of causing a great deal of damage with her claws (tool steel grade strength) but is extremely reluctant to use them against living opponents. Combat is scheduled to train her in martial arts, but she hasn't picked up much so far.

Strengths: Hand-to-hand fighting with and without her spear. Highly intelligent, though she can play at being the big dumb brute if she wants to.


Weaknesses: Weight. She has to be -extremely- careful with her floor loading in buildings or on soft ground, and she has absolutely no ability to swim. She is not -irrationally- afraid of water, but she is aware that she would drown quickly if submerged.
Metabolism. She has a truly voracious appetite, and in addition to eating about ten times what a normal furson needs to, she requires actual metal in her diet. She pops steel nuts and washers like vitamin pills, and needs occasional bits of manganese and cobalt as well. This also means that she is extremely vulnerable to low oxygen levels – she starts getting altitude-sickness above 5000 feet.
Magnetics. Her body is ferromagnetic, and is vulnerable to both magnetic attacks
and magnetic manipulation. An electro-magnetic crane can actually pick her up.
Cold. Metallic fur isn't all that good at insulating. She's vulnerable to cold attacks.

Outfits: Her hero outfit is basically a blue jumpsuit with red trim and utility belt. She is usually barefoot, and doesn't wear a mask since she can't really keep her identity secret. When she's not on duty, she dresses like a typical teenager.

Bio: Her great-grandfather Earl Thompson was a ground observer at the 1951 Easy nuclear test; great-grandmother Anne Johnson was downwind of the Hanford radiation release incident. Grandfather Mark Thompson was in SAC during the 1960's and spent time loading and unloading atomic bombs from planes in the B-52 fleet. In retrospect, it's surprising that only she and her older cousin William became supers.

Sally was always big for her age, and by the time she was four she was puzzling her doctor with her weight relative to her size. By the time she was eight, it was apparent that she was a super, but her parents – and the East Coast Division of the BoS, alerted by her cousin – tried to give her as much of a normal childhood as possible. For a while this worked, given that her parents lived in a rural and fairly backwoods section of Pennsylvania. When she turned eleven, her powers began developing rapidly, and both her size and density shot up dramatically. A year later, a vacationing vice-president of Faraday Biotech saw her in action (pushing a loaded semi-trailer upright to free a half-crushed school bus) and the criminal head of the company attempted to kidnap her and her family to experiment on. Fortunately, since the BoS was already monitoring them the attempted kidnapping was rapidly thwarted. After this, it was decided that she should be moved to Colmaton for her own safety while the rest of her family was given new identities. She arrived at the Colmaton Bureau HQ just two days before her thirteenth birthday. As a minor, she has so far not been assigned to any combat situations or anti-crime patrols, but has occasionally been mustered for rescue work.


Personality: She's actually a rather gentle soul, and profoundly lonely. Even as a young kit, her size and strength meant that she had to be very careful not to hurt other fursons accidentally, and while she was invulnerable to physical bullying, she had started to become a target for social bullying in junior high for being 'a freak'. At Colmaton, she's isolated from her age group with the exceptions of Techrat and Nandi, and even they cannot socialize with her outside the base unless they're in costume. She has fantasies of meeting a boy in her situation and being able to have a nearly normal relationship with him. But as she told Techrat, “And with my luck, even if I do find one he'll be a relative.” She's resigned to not having a life outside the supers community, and is extremely loyal to the few friends she does have. She misses her family intensely and resents the fact that she is only allowed very limited and monitored communication with them for their own safety.
