Appearance & Personality

Lustrum is a long-haired woman with matronly features who wears a prison uniform that has been modified into heavier cargo pants and a jacket.<ref name="27.3e1">A woman ventured forth. Her hair was long, her features matronly. She wore a prison uniform that had been cut apart and pieced together into heavier cargo pants and a jacket. Lustrum. Part-celebrity, part-antihero, she’d gathered a following of college-aged feminists, building up an almost religious fervor, before giving the fateful orders that turned things violent, pushing her thousands of followers to humiliate men, often violently. Things soon escalated to the point that more fanatical followers were emasculating and murdering men, even carving up followers who weren’t playing along.

My mom had, in her graduate school days, been a part of one of Lustrum’s groups. She’d backed out around the time things turned violent. I’d heard her wonder out loud, to Lacey, my dad’s coworker, whether Lustrum had intended for things to get as bad as they had.

But they had. A lot of people had suffered. - Excerpt from Extinction 27.3</ref> <ref name="27.5e1">Lustrum used her power. It was like walking into a wall, but it wasn’t physical. My brain went blank for an instant, the heat and energy in my body seemed to disappear like someone had flicked a switch. My power, too, faded, the range zooming to a point close to me, my control momentarily going haywire. An instant later, it was back. I staggered, compensated with the antigravity, managed to not fall too far behind.

The sphere above us shrunk a fraction. Maybe. Hard to make out, considering the size of it, and the speed with which it fell. Lustrum, for her part, grew. - Excerptfrom Extinction 27.5</ref> She gained something of a misanderest reputation given that she primarily collected women around her. She cared about her followers however.^{[citation needed]}

Abilities and Powers

Lustrum has the ability to sap energy from sources (including people) near her to form a hard light body. The body can be large and roughly the same density as her own,<ref name="list">Massive breaker form fueled by draining from the physical and mental faculties of those nearby. - Wildbow's Parahuman List</ref> or it can be normal sized and dense enough to have its own gravity well.

It is possibly made out of hard light.^{[citation needed]}

Gold Morning

Was last seen in her breaker form trying to evacuate capes from the oil-rig, only to be atacked by zion, who was cutting her to pieces.<ref name="27.5e2">No chance I’d live like this. Nobody nearby.
