Canon World

It's a world, where anything is possible and everything exists. Literally everything. We've got Greek gods, Roman gods, Hindu gods, Actual Heaven and Actual Hell and a couple of personified concepts walking around. Magic and science, aliens and myths exist simultaneously. Mixed into all of that are the heroes. Beings with superhuman powers, from the remote reaches of the galaxy and from down the street in Nowhere, Kansas. Terrifyingly capable humans with no powers at all, except a determination to do what is right and a complete and total inability to live a life that does not include running around in wild outfits while people try to kill you. It's modern when it's not outright futuristic, with the latest technologies pushing men further and further into space, but under that is the bedrock of a very old world filled with even older magic. And between all of that is the rest of the world, doing it's very best to get by as gods fight it out in the sky and monsters rise up from the deep. Good thing we got that there Justice League.

Diana's personal world straddles both these lines. She is a daughter born from antiquity, who now fights alongside beings and technologies her mothers couldn't have imagined in the decades past.

Personality

A lot of what Diana is is a contradiction in terms. She was given the mission to spread the Themysciran ways of peace to the world of man by Ares the god of war. She is a warrior, who enjoys a friendly spar with her comrades in arms. She is deadly serious on the battle field, willing and able to bring down the wrath of the gods on her enemies. But when at all possible, Diana will seek the diplomatic approach. She will work to calm before she moves to violence, try to talk someone down before she knocks them out. She's willing to take a life if it comes down to it, but it's not a task she takes either lightly or happily.

Leadership comes naturally and is something she takes seriously, expecting the most from others and herself. Her personal inclinations lean towards activisim than politicism, but ultimately she was raised a princess. While she doesn't have any expectations of how people should treat her, she also doesn't do very well with following authority, because very often she is the authority.

Diana loves deeply and unreservedly with very few exceptions. She loves people, she wants to know them and know about them and their lives. She's earnest and good natured when she's able to just be around others, she has a sense of humor that runs towards mischievous given the time and place. Most especially she loves her people, beyond both reason and fault. Losing them, seeing them hurt, pushes her to despair and apathy towards her own wellbeing. Perfectly happy to sacrifice herself, she'll gladly take on more and more dangerous work, particularly if it distracts her from the pain of losing her family (again). Diana is relentless, her body and her faith might waver, but she is entierly resolute in finishing whatever task is set before her.

Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Non-Superhuman
- Extensive experience as an acting ambassador
- Adept at learning new languages
- Extensive experience in hand to hand combat, armed or otherwise


Superhuman
- Standard Super Power Set (strength, durability, speed). She is second to Superman in strength and durability. She's third in speed, mostly because writers can never really decide if Superman or the Flash is fastest.
- Unassisted flight.
- Resistance to illusions.
- She can talk to animals.
- Can cross into different realms via meditation.
- "Sisterhood with fire." The actual function of which varies depending on the plot, but is the Magic Stuff that makes the lasso of truth work good. She's also resistant to both mundane and magic fire.

Weaknesses
Non-Superhuman
- Overly empathetic and bound by her word.
- Given to self sacrifice and pushing herself well beyond her impressive limits.
- While her default is diplomacy, she can be militaristic if she feels pushed to it.


Superhuman
- Batman ominously holding out an empty box, saying "Nothing."

Suggested Nerfs

Major nerfs so I don't feel Weird about her staying back to do more diplomacy/cr building shit that I want to do rather than sailing off to Solve the Problem in one go.

Specifically:
- Flight gets a heavy nerf, downgraded to leaping tall buildings in a single bond.

- Speed functions like Fade Step.

- Durability and strength downgraded to Average Qunari Berserker.

- Can only enter the Fade the same way everyone else does. Can not enter other realms beyond that.

- Mild resistance to illusions (For Thematic Reasons), but as susceptible to magic as any other Thedaian who isn't a dwarf.

- The lasso is still unbreakable, but casual touch does not compel truth. Diana has to do it intentionally and it has a mana drain similar to any spell.

- I would like for her to maintain her ability to talk to animals. No specific reason, I just think it's fun.


Arrival Inventory

- Wonder Woman suit and boots.

- One (1) tiara
razor sharp that can be used as a projectile weapon

- Bracelets of Submission (no joke)
(Ridiculously strong silver bracelets, forged from Zeus' shield, worn by all Amazons as a symbol of their enslavement at the hands of Heracles (comics are fun). Strong enough to repel physical, magical and projectile attacks.)

- The Lasso of Truth

Humanization

n/a

Fit

Diana in other worlds is always interesting because she's already on that From A Different World vibe and is inclined towards interacting with the people and helping them with their problems. Major power nerfs also keeps me from feeling like she should just be going off to fight Corypheus.
