'''Maria Whitworth''', known publicly as '''{{PAGENAME}}''', is a member of [[The Protectorate]] and the tentative head of its [[Anchorage]] branch.

==Personality==
Horizon is professional and no-nonsense; eager and able for advancement. She possesses a strong sense of justice, sometimes to her detriment; two instances of principled insubordination are thought to have stymied her career.<ref name="PRTF 3">'''PERSONALITY:'''<br/>Horizon works well with teammates and imbues those she leads with a natural, easy discipline and order.  Horizon has two red marks on her record, stemming from incidents where she chose to speak out against what she perceived as wrongs, despite orders to the contrary.  (Conference Directors 22 and 3(los angeles) for more information).  This may have slowed her advancement.  Annual psych profiles are consistently sound, though they point to a chronic frustration.  Achieving her new position should remedy this. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Swjz8BZZNE4bq6lTkHanTK4sJ-K_xVlFudxA16mYjH4/edit#bookmark=id.t19o0k9l3m3t PRT Files document 11]</ref><!--

Whenever I have the free time, I try to go to concerts. Big events, lots of people dancing, music so loud you can feel it in your bones.” - [[PRT: Department Sixty-Four|Department Sixty Four]], [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/13551770 PRT Quest thread i p67]</ref>-->

<ref name="PRTF 2">'''General:'''<br/>Horizon has been pushing for a leadership position for some time.  After some time spent under notable members of the Protectorate, the consensus is that Horizon has been deemed ready to take the reins of her own team, despite her less than standout powerset.  Her service thus far in Anchorage has proved exemplary.<br/><br/>Horizon is a dedicated patroller and is well rated in her interviews and public appearances.  Her performance in the field is exemplary. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Swjz8BZZNE4bq6lTkHanTK4sJ-K_xVlFudxA16mYjH4/edit#bookmark=id.t19o0k9l3m3t PRT Files document 11]</ref>


<ref name="PRTF 4">'''Powers:'''
Horizon has three types of enhanced senses.  She can use only one at a time.<br/>
:*Zoomed sight with simultaneous viewing and processing of multiple scenes in F.O.V.
:*Sight through inorganic material.  Can be used to locate persons through walls.
:*Organic sight that allows her to see the inner workings of an individual’s body in detail.
Her striker ability has yet to receive a satisfactory assessment.  It remains unpredictable, linked somehow to the quality (see powers, above) & quantity (time) of focus on a target, in addition to other elements that testing has failed to identify.  It has ranged from delivering blows at five or so times the usual strength to obliterating large vehicles.  The variance in effectiveness sometimes drastically changes from one moment to the next.  Use of this power in the field assumes it is a lethal weapon.

==Abilities and Powers==
Horizon has three types of enhanced senses.  She can use only one at a time.
*Zoomed sight with simultaneous viewing and processing of multiple scenes in F.O.V.
*Sight through inorganic material.  Can be used to locate persons through walls.
*Organic sight that allows her to see the inner workings of an individual’s body in detail.

Horizon's primary offensive power is an explosive touch linked to perception. Her striker ability is somehow linked to the quality and quantity of her focus on a target.  It has ranged from delivering blows at five or so times the usual strength to obliterating large vehicles. The variance in effectiveness sometimes drastically changes from one moment to the next.<ref name="PRT Quest">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Swjz8BZZNE4bq6lTkHanTK4sJ-K_xVlFudxA16mYjH4/edit#heading=h.9acp7nneqyf0 PRT Quest document 11]</ref> Furthermore, the more open area behind her target, the more she can let loose.

As a complement to her advanced senses Horizon has learned to lipread with accuracy.<ref name="PRTQ37">[https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/13143181 PRT Quest p37]</ref>
