Introduction

xxxxxYeah, she thinks that's a lot of intersections to juggle, too.

Description

xxxxxA multiracial black woman with twists in her long black hair, medium brown skin, and dark brown eyes. She looks young, but it's hard to judge her age with certainty. Though not large or obviously built, her wiry strength shows in the ease and confidence with which she moves.

Reputation

xxxxxAmong Prometheans, known as a pleasant person who is good under pressure. Slightly famous by sight as Ryan Black's bodyguard, she ends up on TV quite a lot though few would know her name even if they recognized her.

History

xxxxxGrew up in New Jersey, went to college in DC, moved to Portland after that like most lesbians do at some point. A domestic dispute gone wrong landed her in Prometheus, where she spent five years surviving and reconnecting with a faith she felt had let her down. After Jax and Ryan's raid team rescued her from a lab in Vermont, she slowly pulled her life back together. She learned to fight, got a job protecting the man who had saved her from captivity, and is studying to be a cantor.

Powers

xxxxxAlma senses and controls momentum. Among other things, this makes for deeply impressive party tricks.

Skills

xxxxxAlma is trained in oration and classical singing. She has fairly decent de-escalation skills, but failing that she is an extremely competent and formidable fighter, both in melee and at range -- with or without her powers. She can read and speak halting biblical Hebrew, but is improving with study.

Yes, it's a Kippah - Alma is Jewish and usually wears a kippah in observance of her faith. Because she does not fit the appearance most Americans (Jewish or gentile) expect of a Jewish person, however, her headgear is often mistaken for something else -- if she isn't outright accused of appropriating her own culture.
Jersey Girl - Born and raised in Paramus, Alma is quietly proud of her home and does not let pass without comment the casual disparagement of the Garden State that many New Yorkers put out as a matter of course.
Blackguard - She is Ryan Black's main dedicated bodyguard, and is often seen with him in public, looking sharp but unobtrusive.
Ashira l'Adonai - Over the last two years, she has been enrolled part-time at the Jewish Theological Seminary's Cantorial School. You won't catch her mumbling the songs during service, and she finds both joy and spiritual fulfillment in singing, in the synagogue or out.
