The Mirror. The barely understood one.

          Og. Me Not Herzarro. ::laughs:: Naw... just kiddin.  I'm Enacireh, but you can call me Ena. Everyone else does.  People here say I'm Heri's opposite. How come I'm HER opposite, why isn't she mine? So my colors are exactly opposite hers, and my name mirrors hers. If I mirror her, doesn't she mirror me equally the same? Yep, she does! But I know, they knew her first, this is her world, and they've seen her save people before I have, so I HAVE to be her mirror, instead of her being mine. Still isn't fair. But heroes are called to a higher level of being I guess, so I'll try to stay at that upper level.

           Being half-numah, half anadlanian, I would have been a Yankee in King Arthur's court, as your Mark Twain put it. Combined with a Kheldian to become what I am now, a Peacebringer, makes me even more out of place. I don't mind. Solar Burst, has more than generous to have offered her services to me when she barely knew me or my intentions. I am sorry that my alien nature limits her and my full abilities. Other Peacebringers can summon alien forms of old and protect the city better than I can. But I'll do what I've been given. As a mirror of Heri, or she of me, I will do what we both have vowed. To stop those aliens who attempt to harm this great city. 

           Ena's quirks after willingly merging with a Kheldian produced an interesting Peacebringer. The Kheldian was already a headstrong warrior, ready to take on the Nictus and anything else here, and Ena was backwards, relative to most humans here. Generally Ena tends to stick to business when in the midst of a battle, for she and Kheldian know what needs to be done. Out of the fights, Ena is a unique Peacebringer, mildly confused due to being alien and from a world that is backwards to ours. Her mirror biology seems to had a interesting effect on the merged Peacebringer. For unknown reasons it prevents her from assuming the Kheldian Nova and Dwarf forms. So Ena is forced to remain in human form. Due to this effect, she has more control of in tempering the Kheldian when it longs for battle.

          Here I am, the standard look for my home. To me its very normal and plain and boring. Here I get odd looks, and raised eyebrows, and some that are hesitant to talk to me, even among the superhero population. It's kinda cool to be special that way. My pink hair is the norm at home, but everyone here has yellow and brown and black hair. Still, I'm not sure why I get the strange looks. Heri has green hair. Green, pink, they're both different, in the same way. Maybe they're used to seeing her? That even though she's different, they've come to known that difference, or know that she's not a threat? That they feel safe when she's around. ::smiles:: That's a good feeling. Guess I'll just have to wait until they've seen me enough as they have her.

            B: As you can see. Enacireh's costume is a mirror of Hericane's all the colors are the exact negative of Heri. At first I did usual contrary complimentary but found when I accidentally highlighted a screen of Heri and it inverted the colors I had originally picked were not the right colors, close but not right. So now they are, despite her black and yellow bumblebee or banana color scheme and cotton candy-ish pink purple hair. :)

            B: In keeping consistent with the theme of the Penthouse Heri look, Ena has hers, but in her own unique way. Just as with her first costume, its also a mirror image of Heri's color scheme.  To me its kinda sense of pride to display this look. To the point that when I'm in SG mode, in order to get prestige to eventually make a base that's even just barely equipped, I keep her in her normal colors, but turn the SG logo on.  I dunno why.... the Penthouse Hericane look, and the personality of Heri that exist in each Heri... just makes each Heri more special to me, especially when people recognize the various Heris and ask me if I'm Hericane :)

         Lemme guess, ya expected me to be in Heri's cowgirl look but the opposite colors, right? ::laughs:: I don't blame you none. I almost wore that. except what she was wearing looked pretty good lookin. So I stuck with it. No need to really mirror her completely in all my looks, right? The first couple looks maybe, but that's cause I hadn't been here too long. Now I'm just a citizen here as long as she is, so I thought I'd pick something that I liked.  Kinda spooky that we have nearly the same taste, huh? Guess that ties into me and her bein mirrors or each other.

          Heri's cowgirl look is pretty trippin. Very hot lookin. She looks kinda rugged I think though. The tough cowgirl. Trying to be sexy, but still have that tough look. I guess that works. I went for the hot cowgirl look. ::giggles:: Still though lookin. But more curves and more to see, more that makes ya wanna take a ride. Kinda interestin that Heri said she didn't wear it at first since it showed a lotta skin. Don't look like it does to me. Guess it does to her. ::shrugs:: Oh well, guess that means I'll never have to worry about her and me lookin the same. So anytime ya see a purty 'lil cowgirl flyin through the air and she don't have no rope with her, feel free to take a rest and say howdy!

         One thing that Earth shares in common with the world I come from is the fancy uniforms for special situations. Albeit we used them for more momentous battles, it makes sense for more civil occasions, they tend to be hard to fight in, at least the ones used by Earthlings. So I took a preference from my home and wore something a bit more comfortable, but still looks decorative, at least by this planet's standards.

         B: Ena's regal look. Got the idea from a friend's Peacebringer who had a royal look to him, so I followed suit. Gave me a chance to use the new patterns as well. Seems to be a common idea to give a space born alien a royal look.

             Everyone thinks Heri is a strange sight. For good reason though. Even among superheroes, Bright green hair and bright green eyes ain't among the norm. There wasn't much weirder due to her half alien half human nature. Then I came along. Not to toot my own horn, but having a one third Kheldian, one third Anadlaian, and one third human makeup to me makes me a bit more weirder I'd guess. ::smiles and snickers::  It wasn't my intention mind you. Ending up here is still a mystery. The Portal researchers still don't know how the Portal ways from this world and mine "crossed" each other so I'm for the time being, I'm stuck. And without my natural powers. The atmosphere isn't conducive to my powers being able to manifest and all, so for intensive purposes I'm a powerless superhero. At least until Solar Burst discovered me. See, after I appeared here in Skyway City, I wandered around aimlessly, trying to gather my bearings. Figuring out where I was and why none of my usual powers were working.  After running into the locals and eventually speaking to some of the researchers here, I found my dilemma. I had no way of going home or being able to summon my powers.

             Without much more to do, I explored much of Skyway City again, hoping to find some connection as to why I was here. That's when Solarburst found me. Spending a week or so here on Earth, I had read though the news of the Peacebringer/Warshade-Nictus conflict. I didn't think much of it more than something else going on until Solarburst happened upon me. She was a Kheldian, and like the others, she wished to help out her kind, as well as those of this world. She found me just at the right time, as I had stumbled upon some Trolls fighting a hero. I guess he was fairly new as the Trolls were laying into him hard. I couldn't do anything to help, so I ran away to get up on higher ground, away from the Trolls. That's when Solarburst approached me. Sensing my problem, and she needing a host, she offered her services of her powers. I was hesitant at first, as I didn't know of how my Anadlaian nature would mix with a Kheldian, but I figured what the heck. We both wanted to do something for our current home, and we certainly needed to help that Hero that was out of his league. So we both merged and became a Peacebringer.

           As a Peacebringer, one of the things I learned first was of the Kheldians and the Nictus, the warring alien races. It must be a hard thing for the Kheldians to see, that a part of their people would want to become so hungry for power and strength, that they would prey on their own people, literally. I can't imagine what it would be like for a society of people to reach that level of disgust for another part to literally consume them. It never reached that point on my native Htrae, and I'm fairly sure it hasn't for the most part hasn't occurred here, at least to half the population  Well, not physically anyway, from what I've been told, people here prey on other people in other manners, but I've only seen it in criminals. That being said, that may be an indication that humans aren't all that far off from reaching the depths of hate that Nictus have turned into. But some Nictus have learned that they have done wrong, and have become Warshades, as we Kheldians have become Peacebringers. To help bring the peace ::laughs after realizing what she just said::, I went and visited the main Warshade here. She seems to want everything we do. I hope those that follow her feels the same.

B: A better shot of Ena, and her eyes below, and gloves more observable

            B: LOL I love this shot. That reaper looks like he's backing up and thinking "OH CRAP!"

         MMMMM!!! Nothin like Peacebringer Power! I took some notes and a pointer from Em. Kept seeing her pound the ground with her foot, either when she was around a buncha baddies, or just pissed off-like. She don't do that too much too often anymore, she keeps rearranging the base that way and Kendal gives her severe base watching/cleaning/do-whatever's-needed-to-fix-the-base duty. That's just a horror to us as it is her, as she never gets the base arranged right the first time. Generally takes her a few times to get it back exactly how it was setup before she FUBARed it. I couldn't give a care as long as there is somewhere I can bundle up and just get some very needed rest. I've even flown up to one of the bridge-like balconies Kendal speaks from for SG meetings. They're restful enough, and comfortable. Ok not really, but restful. Kendal doesn't like me up there. I dunno why. I rest there, then go about my business. Could be that the other Heri's caught onto the same thing ::grins:: We're strange like that. Like if one has a good idea that doesn't seem too far out, that'd be Hera, if anyone's paying attention, the rest of us seem to mentally just catch it and do it as well. Drives Kendal, Pyro Kitty, and Talisaar freakin buggy, but what can we do? Not like we planned this... Maybe Em does, she's just enough of a party girl with rebellious qualities to sometimes want to play around with Kendal and the others. Not usually though. Tends to avoid problems so she can just keep on having fun. Cause girls just wanna have fun, right?

          The other Heris seem to be fine with finding wherever they can to bundle and retreat away from life. Lady H is a bit snobbish about it. Makes all a fuss about how order is required so everything just doesn't lapse into chaos and all that bull. eventually she just gives up and lays down on a table or chair or a makeshift bed on the dojo floor. ::chuckles:: Not that we're tryin to be mean or anything, but it's pretty cute when Em stomps and shatters our base into shambles. Not like its fun to walk around rubble or a half built base for days on end, but its pretty fun guessing what its going to look like next. We've even gone to lengths and bet on it all. Jordi wasn't too comfortable about that part at first. I guess she was raised not to gamble and stuff. But when we all decided that the winner would get free food from UP and Away or City of Gyros paid for, she agreed to that. She won't gamble if its for money (like we need money away, Kendal seems to have a infinite stash of cash somewhere to pay for the base and all our needs) but she's fine if its for food, that's paid for by money. Little Heri's definitely a character.

          It's kinda interesting to see how Em manages to fix the base. I think sometimes she does it wrong just for the hell of it. Just cause she can and feels like it. All very Emily like. And it gets under Kendal's skin, something that Em seems to enjoy doing. Like she always says, "I can't get ever get under her covers, so I'll get under her skin instead." So its doesn't seem to be to spite Kendal, just Em having fun. Not very hero-like. But then again Em's not exactly hero-like in terms of being like Jordi, so we all just kinda expect it. I think one time I was feeling colder than normal, so I sat by the fireplace and set a fire going, and Joey musta felt the same cause she ported into the room, from wherever she was before she ported (see? example of that Heri connectedness) and we both jut kinda bundled up and got warm and just fell asleep. I woke up the next morning, or night, or day or whatever, you can never tell what time of day it is, until you walk into the tech area of the base and check the readings. Well when I woke up I did just that, it was right there, so I stumbled up the little mini steps hit the buttons that Kendal has said to, saw it was night, and then I stumbled back to the fireplace, thinkin if it was night, I'm goin back to bed. Right as I was getting bundled again, I sat there staring at Joey, who was lookin at the tech area all wide-eyed. Took me a moment to look back and think, waitasec... it cant' be night... It was night when I went to sleep and no way did I sleep that long and why the hell is the tech area so freakin close? Usually its the fireplace/meeting area next to the dojo and the library/park/peaceful reading area next door. The tech area is usually WAY on the other side of the base near the entrance. Holy hell did Em pull a big one this time. Like all Em rearrangements I went into the tech area to see how else the base was laid out. Joey musta been thinkin the same thing case she came walkin behind me. Looks like this time the tech area was placed adjacent to Talisaar's magic library and then that was connected to the entrance. Talisaar didn't seem to like this much, cause he was yelling his head off at Em, who was standing there in one of her more sexier nighties. That's Em for ya by the way, she's worn her sexy stuff around us so much most of us aren't affected anymore. Its like seeing her in a t-shirt and jeans. Anyhow, Em's just standing there taking the full brunt of Talisaar's complaints along with Kendal's. Em will literally just stand there and let whoever's pissed at her yell and scream until they're finished and then she'll go back to work on the base. She did exactly that this time around, which then Joey and I went back to the fire and bundled back up, hell with what time it was, we were tired.

           With all that happening with what Em does with her nice little foot stomp, who wouldn't want to learn it and use it elsewhere, right? Didn't seem that hard to learn, although the other Heris don't seem able to make enough waves for it to be of much use. Maybe it's something about Em. ::shrugs:: Whatever the deal, I wanted to do that too, so.... I spend some time practicing far, far away from our base. Nothing happened right away, just looked like I was tryin some new dance. But then one night while out in Croatoa and keepin the local Fir Bolg at bay, I tried stompin one, since his big, fat pumpkin head was right one ground, and it looked ripe for squashing. I missed him, but slammed the ground so hard it went BOOM! and all this Peacebringer energy went rippling out from where my foot hit.

          Ever since then I've been stomp ripplin my way at the no good baddies. It especially works really well when I decided to change my looks and picked a cowgirl look like Jordi has. Felt all tough and mean and bad to the bone, or squid... or whatever I am to the core. As you can see below I'm stompin and rockin the socks, er logs, er whatever that Totem thing has for bootsies. Anyhow, he didn't like me stomping much. Nor did anything else that got a taste of it while I was in my Heri cowgirl look neither. Even though it had a pretty sweet feel to it, Jordi's look didn't feel right. I didn't feel girlish enough. So I changed it a bit. Em does have a free account at Icon, so I decided to go use one of my free trips there. Not too much, but just enough, and then I headed back to Croatoa, 'cuz those Fir Bolg were reported to be at it again. Good for me, bad for them. Especially since my stomp works just fine. The purty cowgirl is here to stay!

         Okay... this firefighting thing is a new experience for me.  Someone tell me why we're all doing this? Ain't this something that the ice heroes and the storm-like heroes like Heri should be doin? I mean doesn't ice and water put this fire out like a snap? Just let the rest of us smoke out the Hellions so they won't do this in the first place?

          Wouldn't it be easier to let us use our powers naturally, instead of lugging these big packs around? Granted they do work.. I just figured out natural powers might be more easier.. Maybe they'd make it worse...I guess in spirit of the WTC terrorist tragedy that we should give honor to those firefighters that were brave as any of us heroes were, without any powers.

           B: These two shots were a riot. It was an attempt at an all Kheldian Respec Trial. There were only two of us that made our builds human builds. Wasn't to be different or special or anything, just how we played. Mine's Ena,  and the other is Sleepy Kitty's, of Legion of Catgirls fame, Neko Rurican, I think was the name.

           Anyway, I don't remember how it started but at one point while we were regrouping in the first major room of the reactor some of the others started joking about Ena being the Queen of the Kheldians. I think I remember one started doign the worship command while we waited, then another, etc. etc. It was insane, I felt kinda embarrassed cause I wasn't the strongest of the group and didn't really help when it counted. We ultimately lost the trial, despite all of doing what we could.  But they were all good friends from the Guardian channel, so I just went along with it.
