See picture. Alliage also speaks with an accent that is commonly thought to be either French or French-Canadien.
PERSONALITY & MOTIVATION
Alliage tends to be naive and basically innocent of how things work in the real world, but she is pure of heart and her soul knows no fear. In many ways her Galahadian heritage is reflected in her steadfastness, loyalty, dependability, courage, and honesty.

Her motivations are simple and dual pronged. On the one hand she wants to learn as much as she can about her chosen field of study and continue to progress her career, and on the other hand she is determined to master her strange internal Alchemy powers and to use them to protect others from mystical threats they have no way to sheild themselves from.
CATCH PHRASE(S)
"A quoi bon? Are we never truly going to get ze coffee?"
POWERS & SPECIAL EFFECTS
Untutored in any normal fashion, Alliage subconsciously expresses her powers via the manifestation of what she calls "Alchemical Orbs". She even has a vivid memory of having found them in an exhibit. But in reality they are simply extension of her will made manifest to help her mind accept the use of Magical powers. Alliage has been making progress in overcoming this mental crutch, and she could be a very powerful general purpose Mage if she continues along that path.

When she uses her powers, Alliage manifests Orbs of various types of metal (Aluminum, Copper, Iron, Silver, Mercury (Quicksilver), Lead, and Gold). Each of her three Multipowers has an Orb assoicated with it which is defined as a Physical Manifestation. If one of these Orbs is destroyed the Power currently activated via that Orb is deactivated, and that entire Multipower is unavailable until Alliage can reform the Orb. It takes a 1/2 Phase for Alliage to reform a destroyed Orb.

She currently has a Mineur Orb (30 AP MP), Moyenne Orb (60 AP MP), and Principal Orb (90 AP MP)

Alliage has a powerful combination of Mobility, Defensive, Offensive, and Utility abilities and when her slots are properly allocated to solve a certain prolem she is very potent. However poor allocation of her MP slots renders her effectively useless.

ORIGIN
Largely unbeknownst to her Alliage is a scion of a heritage that can trace its roots back into legendary times to the line of Lancelot and the Fisher King Pelles. Ensorcelled to think she was Guinevere, Lancelot lay with Pelle's daughter Elaine and his son Galahad, the greatest knight in all the world, was the result.

Galahad grew to surpass all other knights in valor, and ability, even his mighty father, and was prophesied to be the knight who could find the Sangreal, the Holy Grail.

And so he did after a long quest and much peril, accompanied by his companions Percival and Bors, both stalwart knights in their own rights. The Christian monks that recorded the tales of Arthur's times interpreted the idea that Galahad was "married to the Grail" to mean he spurned the company of women and was chaste, dying a virgin. However this stemmed from their orthodox belief that the Holy Grail was an actual cup, when in fact it was a person; one of the descendants of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ.

This person was none other than Viviane, daughter of Merlin's one-time apprentice and bane Nimue. Galahad and Vivane had two children, a boy and a girl, and his boon companions Percival and Bors gathered some lesser knights together to form a secret order to guard their secret and protect the heirs of the Sangreal heritage.

From these legendary beginnings yet more branching and splintering and the mutating effect of time saw the rise and fall of several successor orders and the line itself branched off many sublines, many of which lost the knowledge of their true origin, an in the modern era many conspiracies and crack pot theories have abounded bearing some kernal of this ancient course of events.

The branched line of Galahad and Vivane has produced many influential, inspirational, and infamous scions since legendary times, many with more than human capabilities or at the very less possessing uncommon adroitness, including such notables as Nostradamus, The Valois family, Jean Dubuis, Jean-Julien Champagne, Fulcanelli, and perhaps even Joan of Arc or Giles de Rials.

However, young Danielle LeCuer knew absolutely none of this and had a rather unremarkable early life, humbly born into a working class family in Nice, France. Working class in Nice means working some kind of job to support the cities tourism trade. The Cote D'Azur has been the warm beach that the rest of Europe came to thaw out on since it was barbarian hordes making camp.

A carefree childhood in the warm sun could have been her lot in life but she was a serious young girl and the thing she liked to do most in all the world was to wander the halls of the several museums her mother and father worked as users and security for respectively on rotating basis. While her parents earned their meager pay she would meander around the museum displays reading the captures, listening to knowledgeable people's idle comments, and tag along with guided tours.

As she grew older she became increasingly scholarly, educating herself with frequent and lengthy library visits to find out more about specific artists and works and just following references as they came.. She felt drawn to history more than the present, resenting each newfangled hotel that squatted atop the artifacts of her city's past, and each callow visitor that affected interest in the finer things only to ruin paintings with their fancy cameras or just ignore them to play with the newest gadget.

At 15 she began work herself as a tour guide on the weekends and after school, helping her parents make ends meet. More than anything she wanted to go to college and pursue a degree as a curator but her family could not afford any such thing so at 19 Danielle got a second job as a security guard thanks to her dad's connections. As the years passed she had to watch the museums turn to technology in their endless struggles to attract patrons and tourist and cut costs as much as possible. Replicas of things rather than original articles, headphones reciting canned and watered down information, and even "virtual tours" whereby tourists sat and watched a MOVIE of the museum's displays rather than actually walking around and seing the actual displays just down the hall! When she was 20 her tour guide job was eliminated in favor of technology, forcing her to earn her entire living as a security guard.

Turning somewhat bitter Danille purposefully started seeking out opportunities to work the night shift and gain more hours in the time blocks the other guards did not like to work, and soon made a practice of delving into ignored and abandoned bits of history in the museums in between her rounds, the items stored behind the scenes and only put out on the floor when more high profile items weren't available or were on loan. Those nuggest she could have all to herself, and it help assuage her inquisitive scholarly impulses, and of course she still continued her practice of visiting the Libraries to follow up on information that caught her fancy.

One museum she worked had a vault of writings by the medieval scientist Paracelsus, an important thinker in the history of science and medicine, but, overshadowed by modern appreciations, also one of the great figures of Alchemy. Researching Paracelsus uncovered references to dozens of other works, Alchemists, suspected Alchemists, Arcimists, and any number of miscellaneous esoteric and difficult to get to the bottom of books. The more she researched the more obsessed she became with the idea of Alchemy and at some point she crossed the line from studying it in an objective fashion to assuage her curiosity to actually believing that some of it might be for real.

As her interest, or obsession as her father put it, grew she became even more detached and distant from the people in her life. Finally, after the last in a long series of rows with her parents Danielle decided to go somewhere more "serious" and moved to Paris. Uncertain if her background would actually qualify her for work in France's premiere museums, she arranged a ruse to make up a new identity for herself. Prior to her departure she had started up correspondence from Nice with a Parisian scholar of some repute, an old man well known in the museum community for his donations as well as academic contributions. Nicole used her knowledge of little-known histories, and especially alchemy, to carry out an intelligent discourse for quite some time. Telling her fellows at the museum she was trying to protect herself from the attentions of a dirty old man - something they were all too familiar with in Nice - Nicole had the correspondence sent to the museum's address under the name Nicole Leculier. When Danielle felt she'd won over the old man, she informed him of her intention to tranfer to Paris and asked him to write her a recommendation to several museums including the Louvre.

With no proof of advanced schooling the recommendation wouldn't carry her far enough to reach her true goals, but it was enough to get her a position as an exhibit attendant, and within a few months she had proved her talents and became an assitant to a curator responsible for Middle and Late European exhibits. Danielle also visited as many of the other museums Paris had to offer and continued her researches on her own. She kept up her interest in alchemy, finding vast collections of colored manuscrips, woodcuts, and engravings on the subject. She continued to keep up correspondence with her elderly benefactor, though she never met him in person, and he continued to grease hinges for her and allow the young woman access to many half forgotten treasures.

So it was that one evening when she was 26 she found herself in a dusty and ignored storeroom in the back of the museum inventorying a recently delivered donation from a deceased person's private collection she uncovered several carefully wrapped artifacts of ancient Alchemy. Giddy with the exploration she found her attention drawn to an ancient metal box of beautiful construction and exquisite detail that when opened revealed a leather and velvet lined container for six orbs of different metals in a circle and a glass orb filled with quicksilver in the middle.

Reaching out to touch the center orb caused the most unsual thing to happen; the glass shattered even before her hand made contact and the quicksilver flowed out of the box and onto her skin, rapidly coating her entire body in a shifting silvery sheath, and the other six lifted up of their own accord and began spinning around her body in a complex helixical pattern, moving faster and faster and getting closer to her skin with each revolution until they were all just a continuous blur and were finally gone, absorbed into her body, along with the quicksilver skin.

After this Danielle was able to get herself under control before anyone else was any the wiser, but she found herself filled with the knowning of how to manipulate Alchemical concepts by will alone by manifesting the one or more of the seven elements of the orbs. This knowledge didn't feel invasive or externalize, it felt more like knowledge that she always had and now remembers when needed.

However she didn't have long to deal with these changes before she felt a pressing need to be somewhere else...in Millennium City in far off America as a matter of fact. Increasingly strong and frightening dreams warning of a some vast evil be released upon the world if she didn't go haunted her and she gave in within two weeks of discovering the Orbs. Thanks to some language barrier confusion several strong recommendations from her benefactor and those she had worked with and for in Paris, and her good interviewing skills gained her a junior curatorial position at the Millennium City museum despite her lack of formal education, and she took flight immediately thereafter.

After living in Mill City less than a month Danielle began to explore her abilities. She chose the name "Alliage", which means alloy in French, as her hero name and soon became involved in defusing what appeared to be a dangerous bomb in Mill City's park, assisting the Millennial Men member known as Rook, and later assisting him in a raid on a factory full of powerful robotic minions called T.H.U.G.s After that she became directly involved with all of the active Millennial Men and several heroes new on the scene as well to seek out and stop a complex and murderous scheme of the Black Paladin's and what originally was thought to be Talisman but was later revealed to be the spirit of a black witch from Arthurian times named Chantal.

At one point Alliage became a prisoner of Chantal's in her mystical pocked dimension, and it was fron this time that Alliage discovered several key things about her heritage and her powers. Chantal informed her that she could sense in Alliage the blood of Chantal's greatest enemy, Lancelot. Chantal also indicated that the Seven Orbs were not real magic items at all, but merely manifestations of Alliage's mystic will; her crutch by which she conceptualized Magic. Chantal implied that the entire scene where Alliage first found and absorbed the Orbs was one entirely manufactured by the subconcious to help Alliage rationalize and visualize her powers. It was Alliage's mystic awakening in short and may have been partially or entirely in her mind.

Chantal and Black Paladin's scheme was stopped with great effort and Alliage returned to the normal world from Chantal's pocket dimension. Durin her adventures she recovered a book and some notes that are relevant to her heritage which might lead to her discovering more of her unique ancestry. She had also been mentored and assisted by the more experienced and knowledgeable mystic hero known as Legend, and the two had struck up a repoire. Legend had indicated that he considered himself to be her mentor and protector in matters mystical until such a time as she surpasses his ability to teach her.
