Appearance

Semiramis wears a stone mask so fine, that there was no gap between the stone and her skin, making her face look part statue. She has olive skin, long black hair, and wears a lot of snake imagery- specifically ouroboros. She has a gray and jade color scheme, and her costume had stone ornamentation with fine cloth draping from it.<ref>Opposite the man was a woman with a stone mask so fine that there was no gap between stone and skin- it could have been latex. It made her face look like it was part statue. Her skin was a dark olive, her hair long, black, and wavy, and she wore a lot of ornamentation with snakes, primarily ouroboros imagery- the snake eating its own tail as a circlet, as a bangle at one arm, and at one leg. Her costume was stone ornamentation with fine cloth draping from it. Gray and jade as a color scheme, down to the contact lenses she wore. - Excerpt from Black 13.8</ref>

Abilities and Powers

Semiramis was the ability to reverse the age of people and objects. She uses this ability to keep actors and actresses in their prime age, but at the cost of them losing their memories of the time that has been reversed.

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>“Player how?” I asked.

“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.”

“Ahhh,” I said. “And if they were thinking about leaving…”

“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.” - Excerpt from Black 13.8</ref>

History

Background

Semiramis was the second-in-command to a warlord and arms trafficker, in southern Europe and northern Africa. She held this position until her boss died during Gold Morning, when she took over.<ref>“Semiramis was second-in-command to a warlord and arms trafficker in Southern Europe, northern Africa. Held her position while waiting for her boss to die, and he finally kicked the bucket on Gold Morning. She took over, and now she’s a player behind the scenes. I mentioned the categories these people cover. For her, she’s a player when it comes to culture and cash.” - Excerpt from Black 13.8</ref>

She made herself an important player in the new world, working behind the scenes in the media industry, helping produce films, music, games and more.

Post-Time Bubble Pop

Semiramis was present at the Lodge, when Victoria and Tattletale were investigating the cyber attack. She was questioned, alongside Little Midas, about her involvement with Big Picture and their attempts to get him into Foresight.
