〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Galatea
CHARACTER AGE: unknown (4-5 years) / physically early 20s
SERIES: DC Animated Universe
CHRONOLOGY: Justice League Unlimited S2E24, Right when she is about to be electrocuted by Supergirl during their fight on the Watchtower.
CLASS: Technically created by the government to their Hero, but doing various Not Heroic type things for them.
HOUSING: Nonah or Maurtia Falls if possible but I’m cool with random anything else.
BACKGROUND: Wiki Reference
Picture an Earth very much like our own: cell-phones, cars, laptop computers, monorail bullet trains, modern cities with tall skyscrapers, all the beautiful sights Earth has and the dangers that are not so beautiful, with advancements in space exploration and many other scientific areas. It is a world that should you wake up there one day, at first you wouldn’t think anything was different about it. But broaden the scale and the more you can see how different it is.
Because this is a world of superheroes. Beings called “metahumans” by some that are born with or given extraordinary powers through various accidents or experiments. These people can fly, run faster than the speed of light, are able to punch holes into buildings, or even move things just with the power of thought. There is also magic in this world of all sorts: sorcery, black magic, pits that have been known to restore a human’s youth or return them from the dead, and even blood magic that uses human sacrifice. It is a world where almost anything is possible and many of these fantastical beings have chosen to use their abilities to fight crime and protect those who do not have the power to protect themselves.
The Justice League is a large and growing ever larger organization that monitors disasters and threats all over the world and dispatches these heroes from their Watchtower station orbiting Earth to stop them or minimize the damage as much as they can. The original League was founded by seven heroes (Superman, Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern John Stewart, and The Martian Manhunter) uniting to stop the invasion of the Imperium, an alien race that had already destroyed almost all life on Mars before planning its infiltration of Earth. And not all of these heroes are even human or from Earth. Some of them such as Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl have traveled from their own home planets to come to Earth and have dedicated their lives to protecting it (although in Hawkgirl’s case, originally she was sent as a spy), but the “alien” that is known by people all over the world most of all is Superman, the last son of Krypton.
Take a planet in a solar system hundreds of light years away from ours. It is an advanced society, with an advanced people, orbiting a red sun: this is Krypton. But the planet’s core became unstable to the point that Krypton was sure to self-destruct at any time, and it did. Not only was Krypton reduced to asteroids and debris, but the nearby planet of Argo was pushed out of its normal orbit, causing massive upheaval of its geological state to the point Argo became unlivable as well. Still, people tried to save themselves, sending out distress signals and cryogenically freezing some of the people to preserve them until help could arrive. For most it would be much too late.
Superman, also known as Kal-El, managed to escape Krypton because his father sent him in a ship as a baby all the way to Earth. He was adopted by an American family and eventually became a hero as Earth’s yellow sun affected the cells of his body in a way that the red sun of Krypton never could, giving him superior strength, speed, flight, and several other abilities. It was not until Superman himself returned to ground zero of Krypton’s destruction that he found this distress signal from Argo and went to investigate. He discovered a teenage girl as the sole survivor, Kara In-Ze. He took her home to Earth and Kara eventually joined him in fighting crime, taking on the mantle of Supergirl. They were not technically from the same planet but everyone knows Supergirl as Superman’s cousin and calls her a Kryptonian anyway.
But even though Superman, Supergirl, and all of these other heroes used their powers to do good, it did not stop the fear that many had about what damage they could cause if they decided to do otherwise. This fear and paranoia became even worse after Darkseid, a tyrant from another planet called Apokolips, kidnapped Superman, brainwashing him into believing he was his son and then sent him to subjugate the people of Earth. Superman did eventually get his memories back and stopped Darkseid, but now humans knew that even the Man of Steel who protected them could be turned against them. And they wouldn’t have any way of stopping him. A trust was broken then and the United States government became very set on making sure they were never taken unawares or put in such a vulnerable position like that again.
This is where Project Cadmus comes in. Supergirl was injured during that attack from Apokolips and Superman took her to Dr. Emil Hamilton’s lab for treatment. At this time, Emil kept all of the samples he took from her and later on, with the backing of Cadmus (an organization that also had secret backing from the U.S. government), he lead a program to create superhumans of their own. Ones that would be loyal to the USA first and foremost and also there to protect the world from metahumans too powerful for anyone else to handle.
Within four years, they not only managed to clone Supergirl, but also use radiation and chemical enhancements to age the clone quickly into adulthood. Galatea was subjected to several different training regiments, including being trapped in a virtual reality room that ran simulations of missions for her to accomplish within a certain amount of time. She was an assassin and she learned well how to get the job done and stay out of the limelight. The problem was that in using Supergirl’s DNA, they basically created her identical twin and thus forged a psychic link between the two of them. Galatea suffered from nightmares that were truly memories and feelings of things that Supergirl (aka Kara Zor-El) had experienced and likewise Kara was having dreams that were also truly Galatea’s memories.
This made Galatea a liability because feeling Kara’s memories and emotions made her susceptible, hesitant to kill on command as she had been trained to do. So she made the choice herself to lead Supergirl into a trap and kill her. She even set herself up in an intimate relationship with a news reporter, just so she could feed him information and set up the bait. Only this didn’t work out because Kara had help from The Question and Green Arrow. There was an explosion when the base she had led them to self-destructed and Tea was caught in the blast. She was injured so badly that she spent months recovering. Cadmus decided that she needed to be even stronger and used chemical enhancements to age her into her physical prime, which is around her mid-20s.
She was still training and preparing when the Lex Luthor highjacked the beam cannon on the Watchtower and used it to fire on an evacuated Cadmus laboratory—a blast that also damaged buildings in the surrounding city. Cadmus saw this as a sign of aggression by the Justice League and called on Galatea to lead an army of Ultimen to attack the Watchtower. This is the proof they’d been waiting for and they weren’t going to waste it.
PERSONALITY:
Galatea, when one first meets her as herself (rather that whatever she wants them to see), is not what you could call a “good girl.” She can pretend and she can play along to lull people into a false sense of security or to get what she wants out of them, but Galatea in many ways looks at other people as tools or toys. Her upbringing happened so quickly (from embryonic cells to adult woman with lethal powers in less than four years only to be aged even further in under twelve months) that she didn’t have the chance to make bonds with a large group of people or learn to care about them in a broad way. Her maturity level is a strange mix of high critical reasoning, adult responsibilities and childish egocentrism and willfulness. Her priorities are herself and her mission. She was created as a clone of Supergirl so she could take Supergirl, Superman, and any other super-powered threat to the world down if needed and no one has ever let her forget that. So if she wants to amuse herself or do something just for the hell of it, she will, because she deserves a little freedom, don’t you think? A girl just wants to have a little fun every now and then.
Still, beneath her selfish and flippantly cruel exterior, Galatea is a person filled with doubt. The only person who really shows her affection is Dr. Emil Hamilton, who is also the one who headed the project creating her. She looks at him as her father, the person she wants to please more than anyone (except perhaps herself), but she also doubts that he cares about her and sometimes wonders if he only sees her as a weapon. The fact she cannot truly trust anyone around her in Cadmus is also part of the reason she doesn’t trust anyone else outside of it. She has lived with the fact that she’s a clone her entire life (few short years that it has been) and thus in many ways she’s not “real.” But Galatea refuses to accept this and one of the reasons she really wants to kill Supergirl is so that she can be the only one, the better one. She knows she’s faster, stronger, smarter and more capable than Supergirl, but the fact she is a “copy” of her will always eat at her. If she can kill her, then maybe she can prove to the world (and herself) that she is the only version that matters. Being a copy isn’t such a big deal with the original is dead.
The only reason why she even revealed herself to Supergirl to begin with was their psychic link. It was not intentional. Supergirl was seeing Galatea’s memories of training programs and assassinations she had committed for Cadmus during missions, while Galatea was feeling Supergirl’s emotions and sense of camaraderie/caring for other people through her own dreams. It got in the way of her missions and made her hesitate in killing on command, which Cadmus did not approve of. It made her a liability to Cadmus and to Hamilton, which Galatea herself was not going to let stand, either, because that was her purpose and the only life she knew. So she made the choice to get rid of Supergirl, but it backfired and Galatea was severely injured.
Cadmus healed her and enhanced her aging even more so that she was at the peak of her physical development. Good thing in her opinion, because she wanted to get even stronger and get back at Supergirl, but it also showed that Cadmus only cared about making her the perfect weapon against the metahumans of the Justice League. She herself didn’t really even care about the Justice League, no matter how often it was drilled into her head that they were all potential threats who could attack the Earth at any time. She followed orders because that’s what she was supposed to do and it would keep Cadmus and Hamilton happy with her. When her own interests outweighed those orders, she disregarded them and did what she wanted.
Some people may think because of how blatantly disrespectful and blunt she is that it would be impossible for Galatea to pretend to be someone she isn’t, but she is actually very good at not being herself if it suits the mission. She once created the false identity of being a sweet, naive farm girl new to the city to seduce a reporter and get information from him, even going so far as to become his girlfriend in a matter of a week (getting intimate enough that he even knew that she had “nightmares” every night, something Tea would not have admittedly willingly). The problem came with the realization that many of the traits she “fakes” are actually personality traits of Kara In-Ze (aka Supergirl) that she presumably gained through their psychic link as Tea never would not have known about Kara living on a farm otherwise. The question could arise about whether or not Tea is actually creating a false identity then, or if the bleed through of Kara’s memories and feelings were influencing her more than she ever wanted to admit. By the time they face each other again, the psychic link has been blocked and Tea is more than willing to crash the Watchtower into Earth if it means that she can take Kara down with it. She never even intended on coming back from that mission, but the knowledge she would kill Kara too made her willing to go through with it despite Tea’s strong sense of self-interest. Self-preservation takes a backseat to her higher goals, which shows how impulsive and driven she can be when something matters to her.
Killing Supergirl became her own way of proving that she was not only real, but also better in every way. If she did that, it also gave Hamilton and Cadmus what they wanted, so to her it was a win-win situation. This shows that even though Cadmus trained her (and in many ways brainwashed her with repeated indoctrination into their anti-metahuman views) for their cause, Galatea is still a person who can think for herself and will do so when she wants to. For Tea, it’s all about pleasing Hamilton (and Cadmus) and pleasing herself. Doing what she wants and when, because this is the only way she can prove to herself that she’s a real person and more than what anyone else thinks of her.
POWER:
Because she is a clone of her world’s Supergirl, Galatea has the same abilities that all Argonians and Kryptonians have. These are derived from the absorption of yellow solar energy into their bodies and manipulating it for different uses, from super strength, indestructibility, and flying to enhanced senses, super speed, and laser vision (of the heat, x-ray and infrared varieties). Without the rays of a yellow sun, her powers begin to fade and will eventually disappear altogether. These abilities also come with the vulnerability to kryptonite which can make her weak, nauseous, and can eventually kill her as the radiation from it poisons her body. She’s also trained physically for combat situations, standard military weaponry, and impersonation/disguise to fit into crowds and other public situations.
〈 CHARACTER SAMPLES 〉
COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE: Test drive sample.
LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE:
How she has managed to not kill someone in the few hours that she’s been in this place is something Galatea does not even know herself. She deserves a medal because getting all but kidnapped, told she was here to be a hero, and then ditched at some bland house is really not the way to get her on their good side. She can’t help but look at the tattoo on her wrist more than once. It’s unnatural and makes her feel like even more of a lab rat than she had already been in her life. Not even Cadmus has a way of keeping an eye on her like this. Not that they wouldn’t have done it if they could have, she knows.
Galatea has managed to keep her temper for the most part—there may be a dent or two in a door knob or cabinet, but she considers that mild and well-tempered—and has been learning as much as she can from wandering around. She doesn’t have to talk to anyone, super-hearing at its finest. She got the latest gossip about Tommy does the street and Jane from the market and most of it was so unbelievably dull. What is she even doing here?
Not accomplishing her mission back home is what.
She’s been trying to find out ways to work this to her advantage, but all she keeps thinking about is how she’s stuck here and Supergirl is back in their world, getting to live her life doing whatever she wants. Probably still being a hero and no one will even know that she existed. Cadmus will either fall apart when the League retaliates, or they’ll cover up the project entirely to cover their asses before the government finds out what they did.
She steps a bit heavier than she intended and the ground shakes, sending the quake out a few yards around her. Not far away a man in a nice business suit with a heavy briefcase stumbles, listing to the side. He looks like he may be important, considering the area of the city she’s in. She moves quickly—not too fast, but just enough—putting out a hand to catch him so he doesn’t fall. The guy lets out a sigh of relief and a thanks.
“Geez, it’s always something around here, isn’t it?” she says lightly, a smile on her face that she knows is less genuine than it looks. “Maybe you need someone to watch your feet while you’re watching the clouds.”
He’s grateful, offering her a coffee. There’s only a moment of hesitation, just enough to look down and get a nice x-ray view of what happens to be in that briefcase. Oh joy, an accountant. But then she shrugs briefly and agrees. He may not have any value, but at least she’s not paying for her own coffee.
Next time she’ll make sure there’s more in it for her before she bothers.
