To civilians, she's known as The White Knight and is a highly revered and highly publicized super heroine. To other heroes and villains, they know the darker and less shining example that is Paladin. Paladin plays hard ball and she plays to win. She's not going to let the villain monologue. She's not going to do what you tell her to do unless she herself hasn't come up with a better idea. She is a major pain in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ass but they are always reluctant to do anything about her since she gets the job done in a manner that is effective even if she does have issues following orders. Paladin also has issues with allowing others knowing her true identity because she does not want to reveal her back story with the holy grail. Only a trusted few know her identity and have actually seen her bare face. If she doesn't have a mask on then she's wearing sun glasses in order to conceal part of her face. She typically wears sun glasses in the class room. [/classy] [classy=apphead]ORIGIN[/classy] [classy=blocktext] Before Caterine became Paladin, she was an archaeologist that specialized in pseudo-archaeology. Caterine's love of myths lead her around the world on expeditions to uncover theological and mythological artifacts. When she was twenty six Caterine went on an expedition to Israel. While exploring a tomb she ended getting into a scuffle with some grave robbers and was locked inside. In the tomb there was a small reservoir. Caterine used a rusty old goblet she found among the dead's possessions in order to drink from the reservoir. Well, once Caterine drank from that 'rusty old goblet' it transformed into a beautiful golden chalice and imbued her with incredible super human powers. What Caterine found was not just any artifact. It was the holy grail, activated by her drinking from it. The holy grail, after being passed on by Jesus Christ, grants the person who sips from it incredible power and turns them into a knight worthy of protecting the world from the forces of hell. Upon drinking water from the grail and being transformed, Caterine was shown a vision of an angel explaining to her that she was granted a gift and responsibility to the world. She became the next Paladin. The grail gave Caterine super strength, invulnerability, super endurance, super senses, enhanced speed, and eternal youth. When Caterine first got back to the states she had herself tested by a close friend and doctor she trusted. As they tested Caterine's new abilities, Caterine felt the gravity of her circumstances weighing down on her. The angel was right: she really did have a great responsibility on her shoulders now. With the help of her doctor friend she became the super heroine Paladin. At first she only took on minor thugs, such as gang members and bank robbers. Then she started to get a little cocky - and more effective - as she went toe to toe with some bigger fish. She clashed with Avengers once in a while on these missions, and sometimes she was offered to join them. Caterine kept turning down their offers, stating that she didn't want to join what she called their "after school club". But Paladin soon realized she was a little over her head when the Vatican's secret military sect, The Brothers of Blood, began to come knocking on her door. They had discovered that she was the one in possession of the grail. They wanted it back from her, but Caterine refused to relinquish the grail. This started a discord between her and The Brothers of Blood, who at the time were secretly planning to break off from The Vatican and take it over. To make it worse, thanks to the Brothers of Blood discovering she was the keeper of the grail a powerful demon who was possessing a member of the sect found out as well. He tried to take the grail from her by force but Paladin was able to defeat him with the help of Soothsayer and Morning Glory, the only two Avengers that Paladin had become friends with. Paladin realized that the grail was too powerful for any one person to be in possession of and destroyed it, shattering it to pieces. She sent the pieces back to the Vatican... Well, almost all the pieces. She kept one very large piece for herself as a reminder. However, keeping that one piece on her was enough to keep her super strength and super endurance. She continued her plight as the super hero Paladin and joined the Avengers. Many people within the Avengers know Paladin's abilities but no one except for a trusted few know how she obtained them. She keeps the grail a secret from everyone. Most people assume she's a mutant. After the bleed and the death of her many friends, Paladin became quite subdued and even more bitter towards the justice system. Paladin was also the former lover of Dr. Dangerous - the creator of Kid Sinister - and the former mentor to the super heroine Valkyrie back when her sidekick name was Angel. Many of her Avenger friends are trying to coerce Paladin into taking on a new sidekick, as she's been a bit more insufferable than usual. [/classy] [classy=apphead]SKILLS[/classy] [classy=listtext] HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT: Although one of her abilities is super strength, Caterine thought it wise to learn hand-to-hand combat in order for her to put her strength to good use. She's no expert, but she can certainly hold her own. She personally enjoys boxing. [liststyle]#[/liststyle] SWORD PLAY: What sort of knight would The White Knight be if she didn't know how to use a sword? Paladin was part of her high school's fencing team and developed a love of sword play from there. One of her primary weapons against injustice and chaos is a technologically enhanced blade crafted by S.H.I.E.L.D. that she once 'borrowed' and never quite returned. DRIVING: If you asked Paladin to name the one thing she's best at, she would say driving. Her love of driving dangerously has also given her the ability to drive gracefully as well. [/classy] [classy=apphead]POWERS[/classy] [classy=listtext] SUPER STRENGTH: One of the abilities that Caterine's grail piece gives her is an enhanced strength unlike that of a human. Don't ever challenge her to an arm wrestling match. [liststyle]#[/liststyle] SUPER ENDURANCE: Caterine has incredible stamina and regenerative abilities. Her muscles have been completely altered to allow her to recover from impacts quicker and help her fight through pain. She'll definitely be feeling it the next day though, but as long as she keeps moving she won't tire out the way most others do naturally.
