Background

Born on the Kree homeworld of Hala, the Accuser who took the planet as her namesake doesn't speak of her beginnings. They were humble, forgettable, and unworthy of memory. All there is for Hala is patriotic fervour. Then — in the past — she devoted herself with rigorous singleminded purpose to join the Accuser Corps, enduring terrible hardship and testing. Upon her successful admission to the Corps training academy, she demanded the right to another name and became Hala at graduation.

Her postings took her throughout the Kree Empire. In a century of hard service, she proved herself the ideal of an Accuser: ruthless, direct, lawful, and disciplined. Superiors approved of her constant strive to improve herself even if many of those writing grudging reports fell in time to her ambition. Hala has killed and found no remorse doing what is right. The Supreme Intelligence directs and the Accusers act. It is the right way.

A falling out with another Accuser forced her to another posting, one considered a disgrace: Alpha Centauri. The Centaurians had not been wiped out after the Supreme Intelligence's directives. With her ships and limited resources, the best Hala was able to do was confine their influence from Kree ruins and monitor events. That was, until Earth called… and well, she sees her way to favour under Ronan and the Supreme Intelligence by bringing this reckless little planet into the fold.

IC Events

• 1964
  • December: Accompanies Ronan to the United Nations at the invitation of the Non-Aligned Countries. Ronan warns them to deal with the Skrull, who have contrived aggression between the Kree Empire and Earth. The Inhumans are indirectly named.
  • November: Kree monitor events from Mars.
  • October: The Toliman sector force arrives at Sol and conducts deep network sweeps. An Inhuman strike force led by Blackagar Boltagon (Black Bolt) and Triton Mander-Azur (Triton) accidentally transport to the Kree mothership. She offers a 24-hour stay to confirm Inhuman claims. A diplomatic resolution is struck with Blackagar.
  • September: The Kree do a number of (redacted plot information) things you don't get to know about yet.
  • August: Hala receives transmissions from XORRAR-15 (Penglai) on Terra-3 noting the Huran Protocols were initiated due to a nuclear attack. After long range scans turn up a credible threat, she summons the Centaurian Accuser Corps and launched a research mission to Sol.
• 1943
  • Hala is stationed to Alpha Centauri.

Traits

Powers

• Kree Physiology: As a blue-skinned Kree, Hala benefits from physical attributes highly superior to humans. She can lift approximately 15 tons comfortably. This increases to 40 tons wearing her enhanced armour. Her density is twice as high as a human of similar size. Her durability allows her to weather blunt force trauma well beyond human abilities, survive falls from great heights with minimal damage, and shrug off most gunshots or melee weapons.
• Reduced Toxicity: Her resistance to terrestrial toxins, diseases, and poisons is fairly high due to her highly augmented genetics and multiple organs. Exceptions are those poisons which would affect sentient plants.
• Reaction Times: As a female blue-skinned Kree, she has a powerful danger sense that alerts her to personal dangers. This only applies to herself, not threats to others.
• Hala has special genetic augmentations that give her reaction times on par with the greatest mortal martial artists. She can see bullets in mid-flight, dodging them if she is aware. With significant concentration she can enter a zen-like zone where her reaction times are sped up two factors beyond that of a peak human, allowing her to move through combat with unearthly speed. Bystanders might simply see men start falling in a few blinks of an eye as she crosses the field. The trade off is the amount of energy this requires is draining and she can't sustain it for more than a few minutes at a time.
• Mental Conditioning: Kree Accusers endure rigorous practice that makes them difficult to mentally control or suggest using mundane or supernatural powers. Hala is hard to psychically control. Such powers have limited efficacy. She strongly resists any actions that would harm the Kree Empire, herself, or her ship.

Skills

• Kree Education: Hala received a thorough Kree education on par with any advanced space-faring civilization. She knows a great deal of practical knowledge about mathematics, science, interstellar travel, customs, economics, and law. Much of this education is functionally useless on a backwards planet like Earth, but she can hold her own among Asgardians, Shi'ar, and other alien species.
• Accuser Training: All Kree Accusers are expected to know and enforce Kree law throughout the empire. A seasoned investigator and interrogator, she can dismantle arguments to discern infractions of the law.
• Combat: Accuser training also focuses heavily upon hand-to-hand combat and melee, using their trademark hammers or spears. She is the peer of any experienced combatant spending the last two centuries focused on beating up criminals and pursuing them. Hala's typical style emphasizes subduing an enemy in as few strikes as possible, but she can use group tactics as well as individual ones.
• Piloting: She can pilot most Kree light and personal craft, and any Accuser gunship. Any of her personal craft with weapons systems, she uses with excellent proficiency. Hala knows how to override control systems with similar technology and jury-rig solutions on the fly.
• Technology: Kree endlessly tinker, modify, and correct items. Hala may not be the best of them, but she can use six pipes, tape, a battery pack, and wiring to make functional IEDs, weapons, locks or cages given the right time. Human technology to her is laughably simple, and her expertise probably looks futuristic and impossible to MIT dreamers now.

Advantages

• Accuser Corps: Hala is a fully sanctioned member of the Accuser Corps. She answers to her superiors - mostly Ronan - and the Supreme Intelligence. In the Kree Empire, her word is effectively law and she has a full squadron on Toliman (Alpha Centauri) to back her up with the might and right of that Empire. When sanctioned, her activities are those of the Kree Empire. They will respond to any attacks personally.
• Ship: Hala's ship, Toliman XI, is a high-speed, personal craft capable of holding 20 in comfort and managing interstellar travel using warp gates. It possesses the standard defensive and offensive arrays for Accuser ships, including powerful shielding, plasma guns, energy absorption batteries, and invisibility/concealment tech. It maintains links to the Accuser Corps database, allowing sanctioned access to files from the homeworld and more. It also monitors absolutely everything she and its guests do, so surprises are difficult to effect. Further, the ship has some 'self-healing' capability due to the materials and techno-organic properties, but complete overhauls require a functioning Kree station.
• Kree Armour: Hala's Accuser armour enhances her strength and durability considerably. It allows her to travel into low orbit or space itself, protecting her from extremes in temperature, pressure, nitrogen content in the atmosphere, and more. In it she can survive up to a week in open space, barring any emergencies. The armour is adaptable in appearance — usually a helmet, chestpiece, and shoulder guards — and provides a variety of scanning and cloaking abilities to avoid detection by her prey. It can smother her heat signature.
• Universal Weapon: Every enemy of the Kree rightly and fully fears the Universal Weapon. Hala's appears like a spear much of the time, though she converts it to a hammer to invoke fear in her enemies. The extremely hard body of the weapon can only be destroyed with similar forces required by vibranium or adamantium. Her weapon performs a variety of functions, including absorbing energy and blasting it back out in sharp, hot bursts that can vaporize concrete and titanium. It projects energy fields to protect her at a distance of 3 meters tops. She can use the natural innate power to fly at comfortable speeds about 300 km/h and substantially faster (supersonic) in or out of the atmosphere with conscious effort. When channeling flight or travel, she cannot use the weapon to attack. The weapon cannot be wielded by anyone outside the Accuser Corps. It is tied to her biosignature, and will cause force detonations to knock back anyone unauthorized to hold it.

Flaws

• Shunned: Hala ran afoul of the senior Accuser Corps by trying to reach a little too far. Failure isn't met well by the Kree. They gave her a bum posting on Toliman (Alpha Centauri) to watch over the Inhuman Centaurians. She still has the rank of her position, which is a huge advantage, but a black mark beside her name that means she's lower down the totem pole in the organisation. She is the last to know, her priority concerns don't take priority anywhere else, and she's bitter about her status.
• Zealot: The Accuser Corps is everything to Hala, if her name weren't a giveaway. She defines herself entirely by her service to the Kree Empire. No nice, reasonable argument will deter her from her task. A 50 megaton bomb won't steer her away. No one short of Ronan or the Supreme Intelligence is going to reason with her.
• Chain of Command: At heart Hala answers to an important chain of command. Her personal feelings don't matter when a request is handed down. She performs what she must.
• Impartial: Ask what you can do for your empire… Hala lives by those words. The law is the law. She interprets it according to her study and practice. She doesn't allow for fair reasons of why something might be necessary, but enforces what must be enforced. This means she's not capable of compassionate reasoning much.
• Alien: A 7' tall blue alien with black facial markings sticks out on Earth. A lot. She can partly conceal herself but let's be frank, being a black woman on Earth is no better. Expect mass panic and being the one they shoot at.
