Invulnerability: After being bathed in cosmic energy inside her mother’s womb, Dive Bomb is immune to all forms of physical damage and immune to extreme elements such as heat, cold, pressure, even radiation

Natural Flight: Dive Bomb can fly and glide with her wings and is about as agile and fast in the air as a large condor.

Amaetur Boxer and Lethwei Training

Strengths:
Living Weapon/Battering Ram: While lacking any super strength, being completely invulnerable and relatively light weight allows other heroes WITH super strength to use her as a projectile weapon via just tossing her at a target, or a battering ram/improvised weapon.

Invulnerable/Unbreakable Feathers/Fur: Her feathers and fur retain her invulnerable powers even when she naturally sheds and molts. Potential uses are up to her and those around her imaginations, but for now she uses her spare feathers as lock picks.

No Worries If You Hit Me: Allies don’t have to worry if she’s caught in the blast radius of their powers, as even intense flames, ice, explosives, sonic blasts, etc. Can’t harm her.

Rope a Dope: In a fight Dive Bomb can let an opponent just wail on her until they are too tired to fight against her. Or get sloppy and give her an opening.

Lucky Klutz: While not a superpower, sometimes her misfortune causes some ruin for a villain.

Weaknesses:
Still mortal enough: Dive Bomb still needs to eat, sleep, drink, etc. Just like any normal person, and more importantly she needs to be able to breathe. Theoretically she can survive even in the vacuum of space with just her bare fur and feathers, but she’d still need a device to give her oxygen. Similarly she can survive reentry into Earth and even the impact into the ground, so long as she’s able to breathe, or hold her breath for long enough a period of time. She’s hyper conscious of the fact she could die via drowning.

Things she’s NOT immune to: Gases and physical effects not related to damage. As it’s tied into the breathing, Dive Bomb is not invulnerable to gases that’d fill her lungs and choke her. She’s immune to TOXIC chemicals but not chemicals that don’t HARM her outright (i.e. things that’d put her to sleep, or otherwise drug her state of mind) affect her. She’s also not immune to being made dizzy for example. So if someone were to spin her around really fast, she’d get dizzy, or loud noises while not endangering her eardrums or even hurting her, could distract her or prevent her from hearing other things. Something like a flash bang grenade affects her as any normal person would be affected.

Amaetur in Every Meaning of the Word: Dive Bomb is a rookie hero, novice in hand to hand combat, and relies on her invulnerability to get her out of tough spots.

The Most Jinxed Klutz Alive: She trips over things, accidently knocks stuff over with her huge fluffy tail or wings, absentmindedly walks out into oncoming traffic, etc.

Bio:

On June 13, 1996, Project Tesseract, Daniel Bowles went missing after an accident involving wormholes and space travel, his Searcher One ship gone leaving a lonely vixen and child.

Sophie Naing Lin was an astrophysicist and colleague of Daniel Bowles and was there that day, in the control room as a member of the NASA team, in fact if Daniel Bowles had turned up sick that fateful day, she was to the first in line to take his place as an alternate. Instead she was there in the control room, and she had to watch a widow and child be escorted out of the room as the sudden emergency unfolded.

Almost one year later Sophie Naing Lin married her high school sweetheart in secret, Jack Currie (snow leopard and janitor at the NASA facility). It was to ensure she’d have one night of passion and one night holding something she wasn’t guaranteed to have in the next few days. At her insistence, Project Tesseract hadn’t died with Daniel Bowles. In her mind, she knew the data was sound, the plan would work this time, and she intended to prove him right posthumously.* She piloted Searcher Two along the same path as tensions rose. If anything happened THIS time, there would be no Searcher Three.

As Sophie Currie neared the point where the wormhole had appeared energy readings spiked and the wormhole opened up. A wave of white cosmic energy never before encountered hit the ship and she blacked out as gauges and sensors shattered.

Hours passed and Sophie woke up to watch the wormhole close. She flew Searcher Two to the ISS, and was rescued. When she returned to Earth, the control room noted the wormhole was only open for a split second. But the surviving time pieces on the ship registered several hours. The strangest news of all though was during her post flight medical examination, she was revealed to be pregnant.

Dancia Currie was born nine months later. Almost immediately things were different for the griffon girl. When the infant was supposed to get her first vitamin K injection the hours old baby’s skin shattered the needle. From that point on, everyone in the room knew Dancia Currie was different.

Danica has had a strange childhood, growing up invulnerable has made her somewhat oblivious to the dangers around her. At six she ran out in front of a semi truck and was hit by it, which launched her down the street. Terror stricken parents and children (As well as the driver) thought for sure she was a goner, but she got up, dusted her now destroyed clothes off the best she could and laughed. Her mother was the only one not surprised at this point. And a bit miffed the girl had walked out into traffic again.

While Danica’s mom was strict raising an invulnerable child. Her dad embraced it, or at least tried to, showing off a daughter that could jump out a tree, off the roof, he was about to show off that she could stop a shotgun blast to some drunk friends when Sophie intervened. Things went south as Sophie and Jake argued over what to do with an invulnerable daughter. And the only one that suffered was Danica.

By the time Danica was fifteen, she dropped out of high school and ran away from home as she saw herself as the catalyst pulling her parents apart. She wandered around trying to make ends meet and picked up some boxing and got into underground fighting using the fact that no one could hurt her to win fights, letting opponents wear themselves out and finishing them off. This success and the need to have a place to stay, and to get basic necessities taken care of brought her into the notice of Lady Hatcher.

As a low level thug under Hatcher’s lieutenant Lady Vibrant, Danica just did what she was asked, being used as a battering ram or in jobs where being invulnerable was extremely useful, helping Lady Vibrant use her hypnotic powers on fursons, while others found it to be a thrill, it was absolutely horrifying to Danica, but what could she do? Lady Hatcher was the one making sure she had a place to stay and food to eat. The breaking point happened when she met the heroine Strikira and Lady Vibrant tasked her with wearing the heroine down so she could be brought to Lady Vibrant to be hypnotized. Reluctantly obeying, Danica attacked in an ambush and trap at a light bulb factory. Strikira absolutely overwhelmed her in terms of fighting skills but couldn’t hurt the griffon, yet the griffon couldn’t bear to be part of another kidnapping, especially a BOS agent.

Danica decided that day to change sides and helped Strikira escape, but Lady Vibrant tried to stop them, and her henchwomen dropped crates of glass shards onto the two. Danica shielded Strikira from glass and gunfire, and in return Strikira helped and coached Danica on how to escape when Lady Vibrant began to pump fluorine gas into the trap. Once they escaped Lady Vibrant’s clutches Danica turned herself over to the BOS agent.

Danica made it clear she wanted to do something better with her life and Strikira helped her escape a juvie rap sheet, and got the griffon registered and into the BOS academy. As well as making an enemy of Lady Vibrant, and Lady Hatcher. As a BOS cadet another quirk of Danica’s was quickly noticed. Wherever she went, things went haywire. She’d constantly trip, or fly into things, and more than once came to class with a paint can stuck on her head… or foot. Or knocked the power out, or flooded the gym, or caused a minor fire in a chemistry lab…

By the time she graduated, Danica Currie had her GED, and Dive Bomb was ready to be introduced to the world… but the world might not be ready for a clumsy, klutzy, jinx that is absolutely impervious to harm.

Personality:

High Energy and loves to go and go, until she gets tired and just crashes in just about any soft spot she can find

She’s clumsy, NOT stupid, though as she’s so far removed from the every day fears of harm, she is also careless and a quite a bit reckless.

She never wears shoes if she can help it, she doesn’t fear normal hazards like stepping on nails, legos or 1d4s, like normal mortals after all. She only wears them at work, and once done with work they are tossed off.

Loves EVERYTHING about My Little Pony

When trying to describe something she often compares it to something related and nearly ends every sentence with ‘Ya Know?’
