Personality

Sidepiece is chronically unserious, immature and crude. She prefers to think about it as a defiance in the face of the world, but for bystanders it mostly comes off as obnoxious.

She continually uses horrible catch phrases that satirize her powers weaponization of herself. Furthermore, her way of speaking comes across as some twenty-somethings bad attempt to sound like a teenager.<ref name=5.10e1>“You wanna piece of me!?” Sidepiece screamed out the words. She put too much pitch in the higher sounds, and managed to get some vocal fry in the mix.

“You’ve got to stop saying that,” Disjoint said.
[...]
“You want some of this!?” Sidepiece screeched.
[...]
“Backup would be awful nice,” Sidepiece said. She had a really annoying voice. I’d noticed it earlier. A bit of the teenage vocal fry, trying a bit to sound cute, but she wasn’t a teenager and I didn’t think she was cute. - Excerpt from Shadow 5.10</ref> Was generally amiable and could get along with others.<ref name=5.10e3> “I don’t know if you qualify as a friend, when I barely know you, but I don’t mind your company, Sidepiece, and I can respect a lady with the discipline to have a… twelve inch waist?”

She smiled a bit. Her arm sparked, her power ripping between the wound at her forearm and her fingertips. and she stumbled into Disjoint. Frowning, she backed away until she was a short distance from everyone else.

“Sixteen inches, last I checked, but thank you. You’re a dear,” Sidepiece said, ignoring the power misfire and maintaining her intentionally frayed voice as she feigned higher class. - Excerpt from Shadow 5.10</ref> She finds heroes annoying, and prefers to just blow stuff up to complete her bingo sheet. (She has an organ explosion bingo sheet.)<ref>“Holy shit, heroes are annoying,” Sidepiece said. “Let’s go. I’ve got a bingo sheet to fill out, and I’ve gotta land a direct hit with a bit of uterus or set off a combo explosion with a spleen toss if I want to clear a row.” - Excerpt from Shadow 5.11</ref>

There is no anesthetizing effects in her power, which can be somewhat incapacitating to Sidepiece. This, however, does not stop her from enthusiastically running into the fray.

Relationships

She is bisexual<ref>Ascimator:That would be one explicitly bi person, as in someone who stated out loud that they like not just one but both sexes. Those who have not at any point in text stated anything about their preference might be straight, gay, bi, ace or whatever.

There is also at least one other explicitly bi character I can name off the top of my head, which is Sidepiece.

Wildbow: Moose as well -Comment by Wildbow</ref> and contrary.

Disjoint

The two were long-term sweethearts, and one of the most serious relationships Sidepiece has ever had. Though Sidepiece is unsure, that DJ can keep up with her long term.<ref>Interlude 11.a II</ref>

Ashley Stillons

They became friendly when ashley inflitrated the villains at Hollow Point. <ref name=5.10e3/> Sidepiece somewhat admires Swansong and considers her a friend material, but only after getting her from the high horse.<ref>Interlude 11.a II</ref>

As an example she will complement her and insult her within the same conversation.<ref>“Fuck you,” Sidepiece said, turning to Swansong. “The short hair looks good, hon, but you looked way better in black and fuck you.”

“The white is growing on me,” Ashley said.

“Is the ‘fuck you’ growing on you too? Go fuck yourself with the business end of a broken bottle, yeah?” Sidepiece retorted. - Excerpt from Polarize 10.9</ref>

Breakthrough

She was generally antagonistic towards the members of Breakthrough. Sidepiece referred to Tress as a cyborg when she's clearly not a cyborg, along with targeted criticisms of Lookout for being a orwellian voyeur and Precipice to being a repentant murderer. <ref>“Oh fuck off, you sanctimonious cyborg,” Sidepiece said.

“Clearly not a cyborg,” Damsel said. [...] - Excerpt from Polarize 10.9</ref> In short she's terrible.

Appearance

Thinks female phantom of the opera is a legitimate costume choice, what with mask and black eye makeup.<ref name=5.10e2>She had hair over one side of her face, but she didn’t take very good care of it, and a mask in the same cut as the phantom of the opera one, albeit cruder, covered part of her face. Black makeup filled her lower eye socket and distorted the impression of her eyeshape. - Excerpt from Shadow 5.10</ref> What really draws ones attention is the commonly gaping wounds of her torso, which is unusually thin,<ref name=5.10e3/> one that would make a rotting corpse envious, if that were possible.<ref name="5.4 e1" />

Abilities and Powers

She can tear any piece of her torso<ref>Evirua: Does Sidepiece throw eyeballs
Ridpiece: WHY WOULD YOU GIVE HIM THE OPTION
Evirua: I'm just a newbie I don't know what I'm saying
Evirua: Please, guidance and patience
Evirua: 3:)
ktgrey: That's the wrong way to deal with Ridtoms
DoubleFried: please continue what you're doing Evirua
Wildbow: She's midsection-focused. Spleen, bits of stomach, ovary... - Comment by Wildbow on IRC</ref> off and use it as a projectile.<ref name="5.4 e1">Sidepiece hurled something at me, and it exploded against the wall, a foot from my head. I glanced at her, saw her tear one of her exaggerated ribs out from beneath a cutoff t-shirt with so much cut off from the bottom it was indecent, above a stomach that looked like a zombie’s, with flesh bloody, raw and open where literal pounds of flesh had been torn away. The spine and area around it were intact, as was the navel and stomach on the opposite side, but the sides were completely gone.
[...]
“Don’t fucking hit me, ‘piece!” Nailbiter screeched the words behind me, but the manner of speaking was even worse, as her teeth were retracting. - Shadow 5.5</ref> Her 'ammo' is dependent on the amount she can tear from her stomach and how quickly she can tear the tissue away.<ref>Sidepiece, too, clawed her navel away from her midsection in an effort that took a second tug to separate some strings of still-connected skin, and then hurled that flesh to strike the ground a moment before the biker landed. It detonated, and the biker bounced to the ground ten feet from their vehicle. - Shadow 5.9</ref> Anything in her torso is fair game, bones, skins, organs, everything. Regeneration rates and effects are dependent on the tissue type, they no not follow the law of conversion of mass. <ref name=Organs>With a practiced throwing motion, she cast the gallbladder out and over the employee’s head.

It exploded outward without much noise, but with a visible puff of smoke and a spray of fluid, with a volume far exceeding what the tiny organ should have held within it spreading out over pavement and ice.
[...]
Aiming wasn’t a guarantee, but her throwing arm was well practiced.
[...]
Even on an ordinary day, most of her organs had another effect. The blood they shed and the bits of flesh they carved out were activated, much like her kidney had been. - Excerpt from Interlude 11.a II</ref>

Organ	Effect
Overy	Fragmentation effect
Rib	boomerang
Gallblader	Quiet detonation leaving behind a puddle of caustic acid.<ref>“Listen carefully,” Sidepiece said. “That acid’s nothing compared to what I can do to you if I hurl something bigger at you. And I will. I’ll throw something at you that will make you a greasy smear.- Excerpt from Interlude 11.a II</ref>
Kidney	noxieas neplam like stink sludge, alternativly huge cluster bombs<ref name=Kidney>She lobbed it, and her timing was perfect, because it went off while over the heads of the crowd. On any ordinary day, the kidneys produced a chemical blast, concussive, congealed, and activated- like napalm with something more noxious instead of fire. That was on an ordinary day. Her kidneys were packed with kidney stones, which would have better been described as sea urchins that chose to dwell in the kidneys. Her power translated that quality into a kind of aggressive shrapnel. Ten people were cut down. Three of them hadn’t even been in the radius of the initial detonation. - Excerpt from Interlude 11.a II</ref>
Spinal sheeth	large detonation
Stomech	Acid

Sidepiece also has slightly enhanced strength in her hands and forearms, to help with the tearing and throwing.<ref>Interlude 11.a II</ref>

Equipment

With her consistantly concave midsection she can store items without interrupting her profile.<ref>Interlude 11.a II</ref>

History

Background

Presumably a natural trigger.

Early-Ward

Sidepiece settled in Hollow Point as part of Beast of Burden's "hurter" faction. She participated in the raid on the Fallen compound.

When BoB attacked Damsel of Distress for up staging him sidepiece trued to defend her. Then Damsel killed BoB, SP just stood back.

Post-Fallen Fall

After Beast of Burden was killed by Damsel during the compound assault, Sidepiece joined up with Love Lost's group.

Post-Goddess' Takeover

When Breakthrough infiltrated the Lyme Center to apprehend Love Lost's gang, Sidepiece and Disjoint showed up as reinforcement, but were captured by Shortcut and Spright of Advance Guard.<ref>Polarize 10.8</ref> They were interrogated, but were not imprisoned due to a lack of prison space.<ref>Polarize 10.9</ref>

She and Disjoint spied on Breakthrough's meeting with the Undersiders, had a run-in with the patrol block, and reported back to Love Lost. Sidepiece remained suspicious of Cradle.<ref>Interlude 11.a II</ref>

During ambush on Tattletale-led group she was paralyzed by Juliette Vasil and shoved into flames from her own projectile by Darlene Vasil.<ref>Interlude 11.c II</ref>

Post-Time Bubble Pop

She was not mentioned among captured villains, and likely disappeared alongside Nailbiter.
