The daughter of a soldier and a diplomat, 'Minovsky's Woman' is a callsign first heard eight years ago, now widely-feared amongst the sensitive and the open. Day-to-day, she is Yuliana Dispersal, an REA Special Forces operative whose name is just as well known on the stage of world politics. Under one designation, she is the terror of the REA, an 'Anti-Newtype' melee specialist who can bring any battle down to the physical realm. In the other, she is a rare REA political socialite, advancing the Republic's interests in gatherings and meetings... with an unsettling aura. Yuliana's Cyber-Newtype experiments went /catastrophically/ wrong, and rather than opening her heart, she closed the hearts of everyone around her. Like the Minovsky interference she is named for, Yuliana disrupts empathic connections, making Newtype communication impossible around her -- a psychic black hole. She is the ultimate equaliser, nullifying the potential of the future... but such a horrible thing isn't possible, is it? Secretly, her talent for levelling the playing field in this manner led her to offer support to a surprising second party: Celestial Being.

Background

Once upon a time, a young woman set out into the world holding hope and love in her hands, to grasp a better future for humanity. But the world was blind, to her and to each other, and she reached out to inherit nothing at all.

Minovsky's Woman's service record officially begins around 0087, though she didn't see active combat until the Mycenae Empire tried to encroach her homeland. Since then, she has been a unique asset of the REA Forces: an anti-Newtype operative who is capable of suppressing the emotional connection enjoyed by humanity's next step. She has offered her special forces assistance to several operations, focusing on anti-Zeon activities and protection of the REA's interests. Some of these operations are more classified than others.

For some reason, she's deeply interested in politics.

Resources

Yuliana is a ravenous void from which no love or hope or sparklespace escapes. (See below.)

Characters of the Story

Personal Favourites

Sashenka Dian and Tri Darma Dian: Some characters can feel so lifelike, when you're a child. Ah, but as an adult, you stop needing those escapes, don't you..? ... they're living off in Zaftra these days, last I heard.

Current Chapter

Major Vinh Pham: My commanding officer is quite precious. Oh, I'm aware of the chain I'm on, but he does such a marvelous job covering for me!

Alexis Kerib: My dear, are you unsettled? I'm afraid I hate the encapsulated narrative you've built far too much to simply leave you alone.

Elisa Kafim: A woman who can focus the hollow inside me... what a fascinating character you are.

THE VOID AND YOU: A HANDY GUIDE

Want to know how a nega-Newtype affects your character? Here's a handy briefing of standard effects based on Awakening tier. This is intended as a general guide for a unique powerset, and shouldn't be taken as gospel; if you want to have a different reaction, the world is full of infinite possibilities.

AWAKENING 0-1

Everything is normal! There is nothing weird about interacting with Yuliana and no sense that anything in particular is wrong, unless you have some other way of sensing psychic interference outside of your Awakening.

AWAKENING 2

Everything is more or less still normal, except that any connections to people close to your heart are suspiciously quiet around Yuliana. This is the level where things become a bit unsettling, but can still be passed off as not horrible pretty easily.

AWAKENING 3

The emotional tenor of the place goes dead silent in Yuliana's sphere of influence, and it's impossible to sense emotional information from people, too. This is the point where things become Clearly Kind Of Creepy. (Or relieving, if you don't like being an empath. That's valid!)

AWAKENING 4-5

The point at which being around Yuliana is like being blindfolded and deafened. At this point it is 100% plain what Yuliana is doing, because her psychic Minovsky interference shuts out an essential part of the existence of 4s and 5s. This can be a curse or a blessing, but it's extremely OBVIOUS, either way.

ADDENDUM: DUELING WITH MENTAL UNITS

No, Yuliana isn't going to brick your ride. Her powerset is ultimately an extremely isolating thing -- so while pilots engaged with melee with her won't be able to sense her intentions or try psychic communication, it's not something which will prevent them from acting on the world through their /own/ robot or its various accessories like Fin Funnels. If you want to play with the concept there may be some narrative difficulty in interfacing with highly Mental units, like operating through a layer of molasses, but ultimately: Yuliana's power stops people from reaching other's hearts, it doesn't stop them from being able to fight. If in doubt, think: what would be the most fun interpretation of these difficulties to bring to play? 'My robot doesn't work' will rarely be the most fun interpretation.
