Personality

Because of her abilities she usually uses more words then strictly necessary.<ref name=PRT1e1>

- Department Sixty Four, PRT Quest thread i1i p1</ref> Is usually the negotiator by this same dint.<ref name=PRT94e1>“I’ll get to that. Look, it was the Elite he talked to. Someone called Marion, and a fat guy, but Marion did the talking? They basically got a penthouse apartment on the other side of the city from mom’s house, furnished it, and they stocked it with every convenience a twenty-year old guy could want. One of those expensive electric cars, even. They set up a job for him at Estrella, six figure pay, and the first of those six figures isn’t a one, boss. They left it at that. He has the keycard to the apartment, the address for the job, and they’re just… waiting. Open door, any time he wants, he can go. I’d take that deal.” - Department Sixty Four, PRT Quest thread ii p94</ref>

Abilities and Powers

Listening to Marion causes a latent cascade of mental and sonic energy to build. Once released it stuns and deafens people at will based on how much a given subject has heard her talk. After being unleashed the power 'resets' and must be built up again.<ref name="SB1">Discussion with Wildbow archived on space battles</ref>

Is a competent public relations director.<ref name=PRT89e1>
