#49 - Tomorrow Woman

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/3/5/AAQcMAAADiG3.png

When the party went to Haven, a gated community for mad scientists, it was under orders to kill the residents. They were too dangerous if the Society should get their hands on them. The party that went decided that they instead were going to try to rescue as many as they could to get more minds for the resistance, but when they arrived they found Haven already under assult by the Society. It became a race to see who could get to the residents first.

Roger Huntoon was the name of the person in charge of Haven. We found him, injured by Cheshire, but alive. He told us he had a way to track the residents, so even the ones the Society took we could get back. But before he will help us, we have to destroy something that is too dangerous to be left intact. He told us where to find it and there we found Tomorrow Woman. Broken and confused. She asked Brennus to dance and together they sing I Could Have Danced All Night from My Fair Lady. She asked us if she has a soul and asked us to apologize to the Justice League for trying to kill them - her father, Dr. Ivo, forced her to. But she didn't want to, so she blew herself upstead. Superman told her she might have a soul... but she's not sure.

We discover that she was built by two of the individuals in Haven - Dr. Ivo and TO Morrow. She begs us not to return her to them. The party agrees they are not going to destroy her, causing Huntoon to deny us any further assistance and losing the ability to track Ivo and the other members of Haven that the Soceity took. Eventually, the Society bombs the remnants of Haven and Huntoon chooses to stay behind rather than be a part of resucing Tomorrow Woman.

I haven't regretted that decision once.

Tomorrow Woman is repaired, physically. Mentally... she's learning. It's a work in progress. She struggles with what she is and who she can be. Ivo and Morrow are disgusting old men and she was programmed as such - when Brennus asked her to joining training sessions, her reaction was to try to kiss him, because that was something that always made fathers feel better. Her other reactions were:

"Do yoU THiNk I WOULD be A good heRo?"
"my proCessoR IS not OrGanIC. IT iS maDE of stEEl aNd wIRe AND PLaSTIC. is ThAt GOOD EnOUGh To BE alive?"
"I WouLd LiKE to lEArN MOrE. I wAnt tO be BeTTeR."

Learning and being better are defining features of Tomorrow Woman. Training sessions were hit or miss for her, she often just tried to kiss the person she was paired up against, but she's currently part of a field team focused on Tokyo, led by Dr. Light. And as part of her field missions, she's killing. And she can't decide how she feels about that. Other teammates have described her as being almost too willing to kill, but when Rosetta checks in with her, she seems more conflicted in what she has done. She talks about how she wants to be good, wants to be a hero and isn't sure the right way to accomplish that. She just knows she needs to protect people and sometimes that means the necessity of taking a life. It's a hint of what Huntoon was afraid of and what could come - but I have faith in Tomorrow Woman finding her soul and being a hero.

I find Tomorrow Woman tragic but utterly fascinating. I wish I spent more time roleplaying with her. Maybe I'll need to find a reason to, soon.

Hint for #48: This character has spent time in Z'onn Z'orr's holding cells.
