Lykopis
Background
Meaning 'she-wolf' in Greek, Lykopis is one of the oldest metahumans around. She was born around 735 BC, though the exact date is unknown. She, along with several of the female members of the family, seemed deathless. Upon reaching a mature age (early-to-mid twenties), the aging process seemed to stop. Realizing their ageless advantages over their male counterparts, the 'sisters' seized power and became great warriors. These 'Amazons' fought in the pre-Alexander days of Greece.
However, being ageless did not mean being immortal. As the years went by, the Amazons decreased in number, as one by one, they fell by the sword. Lykopis watched as her aunts, sisters, cousins, and her own mother were killed. By the time Alexander the Great came to power in 336 BC, she was the only Amazon remaining. Not wanting to die like her kin, Lykopis vanished, and hid herself for a period of time.
However, after centuries of being a warrior, Lykopis could simply not retire. She spent all her time in study, reading literature, learning new languages, and sharpening her fighting skills, with the goal of being the greatest warrior. After almost three thousand years, she has almost reached her goal.
Nature and Personality
Lykopis has changed over the years. As a girl she was the typical Greek child, obedient to her father, expecting to marry a stranger twice her age. When her meta-powers manifested, Lykopis switched into a man-hating warrior, the perfect 'Amazon' (her mother, once she became an Amazon, changed her name to Androameia, meaning 'Subduer of Men'). Naturally, she was grieved when the other Amazons died, but that soon gave way to boredom and lonelyness. Now in this present age Lykopis is driven to excel, full of arogent pride, and never rests. She strives to perfection. After years of working alone, her team skills are almost non-existant, which makes working with the Strikeforce difficult at some moments. In private moments, however, she seems almost weary and tired from all the intense years.
Skills and Powers
Lykopis' one meta-power is her inability to age. She is perpetually twenty-two. This does not make her immortal, since she still can be killed.
Over the course of almost three thousand years, Lykopis has developed several fighting styles. However, she favors the old Greek weapons. She is also an excellent tactian. Anyone fighting Lykopis would have to outfight or outsmart her.
Another 'weapon' of Lykopis is her horse, Melenippe. The name means 'Black Horse', though the mare is actually a dark buckskin (brown with black points). It is an intelligent animal, able to read her mistress's commands. Lykopis mastered equatrian skills as well, and both horse and rider are a threat. Melenippe's helmet is spiked, making her look like a hellish unicorn. It is possible, but not proven, that this animal is a meta of its own species.
