Editing Semiramis (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Semiramis was the ability to reverse the age of people and objects. She uses this ability to keep her performers in their 'prime', but at the cost of them losing their memories of the time that has been reversed.<ref name="UhOh"/>

She can also use her ability to speed up construction, and is one of the few parahumans who can do this without disastrous side effects.<ref name="UhOh">“Player how?” I asked.<br/><br/>“Music production, film, online media, games, some sports but not many, but what she does is a kind of slavery, getting people into her media empire and then keeping them in.  Gets them in legitimately, then pulls a turning back the clock thing.  Reverse their age, let them return to a point where they’re in their prime, actresses can stay in their early twenties forever, gamers can keep their reflexes, singers can keep the voice.  All wholly voluntary… but they lose the memories of the time they undo.”<br/><br/>“Ahhh,” I said.  “And if they were thinking about leaving…”<br/><br/>“They’d lose that desire to leave along with the year or so of memories.  But she does what she does carefully.  Always with witnesses.  Always with benefits of a doubt.  She combines that with turning ahead the clock, not for people but for things.  Speeding up constructions, if they’re outlined well enough, and she’s one of the few parahumans who seem like they can do that without any apparent issues.  She’s thriving right now, and she’s in a position where she can cancel a contract or pull strings and tens of thousands of jobs would be affected, or a market sector would change.  She has celebrities and people under her thumb who she could tell to say something or start a war on the internet and make life really hard for someone.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/04/27 Excerpt] from [[Black 13.8]]</ref>

She has implied that if she wanted to, she is capable of bringing an entire building down.<ref>“You don’t have to,” Semiramis said.  She sounded pissed as she addressed the room.  “There will be no fight!  You’ll seat yourselves or turn away and you will let them leave as the group upstairs arranged!  If you defy me, if you press me on this, I will bring this building down on your heads!” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/05/04 Excerpt] from [[Black 13.9]]</ref>

===After Power Shift===
Following the shakeup that changed many parahumans powers,<ref>WildbowLRewrote the semiramis part for clarity.<br>Powers did change a bit. - [https://discordapp.com/channels/564116117610823682/567168209929895966/692232940301844510 Wildbow on Discord]</ref> she could partially "unwind" a person, without affecting their memories she could :"spot weld" injuries.<ref>Semiramis was out there, with Tattletale.  As Tattletale gestured in my direction, I felt my collarbone pop.  My costume shed crusty blood.<br><br>[My first thought was that it was a trap, that she was rewinding my memories as well, in a final action of regret.  But I didn’t feel anything slipping away.  I felt better, as the worst of my wounds were targeted.]  Undoing what had been done.  Giving me just a bit more strength, a bit more of what I needed.<br><br>[Which fit.  Outreach, possibly final, from Tattletale.  It served as a push forward, and recognition that she understood, even though she’d never be able to use words to voice it.] - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/03/24 Excerpt] from [[Last 20.9]], [indicates text added from the] [https://web.archive.org/web/20200325041544/https://www.parahumans.net/2020/03/24/last-20-9/ original]</ref> It seems to be a later development.
