#the trinity concept

Pagan, also known as The Cat Shaped Like A Girl, or The Louisiana Cat-Girl, is a cryptid born in 1882 in De Baca County, New Mexico. The progeny of the cryptid known as the Wampus Cat and a human male, the kitten girl was found and raised by a gunslinger named Casey McCormic, who was tasked to finding the strange creature by a mysterious figure who called himself Indrid Cold. Befriending her and naming her after his lost daughter Katherine, he was only able to care for her for eleven days, until his troubled past came back to claim his life. Before he died however, Casey urged Katherine to keep fighting for what was right in her heart, and not to let anyone find her. Taking his final request to heart, Katherine found a way out of De Baca County, and found herself in the Louisiana Bayou, where she spent the majority of her lengthy childhood.

It was only in the early 90's, when she was physically in her late teens, when her curiosity of the outside world began to tug at her. For decades she had avoided being caught by hunters who sought to find the Louisiana Cat-Girl, alive or dead. But it was a photographer who had managed to capture Katherine's curiosity. After he had given her the nickname of Pagan, named after his dead pet cat. He had left the swamps to publish his findings. But the newly christened Pagan decided to follow him into the city. From there, Pagan had gotten into a mixture of adventures and misadventures alike, becoming a wanderer who helped people who needed it, making close friends along the way as well as many enemies, both human and otherwise. Eventually, she would be met by the legendary Jeanne d'Arc herself, who offered her a place in the extradimensional peacekeeping organization known as the Secret. Always curious, Pagan accepted the offer, and found herself a new home in the Waystation's district of New Iroquois, becoming something of a celebrity as she would found a orphanage in one of the smaller towns.

Pagan represents the Aspect of Love, as a part of Trinity Terra alongside Jeanne and Kuroi Widow.

Tropes as portrayed in media:

Adorkable: Having lived most of her childhood out in the wilderness, Pagan isn't very sociable around other people, often quiet and a little shy. She's even a little childlike at times, and often overexplains bits and pieces of her life in often embarrassing ways. Even living out in the open in the Waystation hasn't nullified any of these qualities, as she's unprepared for the very notion; she's USED to her previous life hiding from people.

Burger King Register Operator: W-would you like a combo with that?

Pagan: Combo? What's that? I usually get yourr fish from the dumpsters late at night so I don't know what "combos" arre.

Animal-Themed Superbeing: Cat. More specifically, a mountain lion.

All-Loving Hero: Every action Pagan takes is built from love itself, whether it's protecting innocent lives, fighting monsters, or even ready to lay down her life to save others.

Berzerk Button: May whatever God you believe in help you if Pagan finds out you've harmed... or worse... KILLED, any children.

Beware The Nice Ones: Pagan is sweet and kind to anyone she calls friend. Just don't get on her bad side.

Cat Girl: Pretty obvious, this one.

Catchphrase: "I am currious."

Cats Hate Water: Inverted; having lived in the Louisiana Bayou, since a lot of it is water to begin with, Pagan is more than used to swimming in it.

Color-Coded Characters: Pagan often wears red, as it reminds her of the story of Red Riding Hood... the original story, where the titular character dies at the hands of the Big Bad Wolf. It reminds her that humans needs to be protected from such monsters and that she'll be the one to protect them.

Cute Little Fangs: Pagan has them, and when she's being adorable, they're quite the feature.

Cute Monster Girl: Yep. Definitely that.

Deceased Parents Are The Best: While technically not her real father, Casey McCormic was the best father figure Pagan could ever have in the eleven days they were together, teaching her the fundamentals of right and wrong that she adheres to to this day.

Does Not Like Shoes: About 95% of the time Pagan is always barefoot; having stated that shoes are uncomfortable against her toe claws. She could always wear sandals, of course, and she does when she has an image inducer on to appear more human. But once the inducer is off, so do the sandals.

Femme Fatalons: Pagan was born with sharp claws on her fingers and toes, and more often than not uses them as her primary weapons; she has twin daggers too, but she only uses those if her claws can't get the job done.

Forgotten Birthday: Inverted, as it's PAGAN who often forgets her own birthday, and it's her friends who remind her of it, often by throwing her a party. Which shows just how cherished a friend Pagan truly is.

Friend To All Children: Pagan adores children, and will protect them with all the ferocity of a lioness protecting her cubs. She even has an orphanage set up in the town of Doublehead in New Iroquois called Pagan's Pride, where she takes care of children whose lives are upended by ill fate.

Half-Human Hybrid: She is said to be the near-perfect hybrid of human and feline, her very DNA held together by ancient magicks.

Healing Factor: Pagan heals faster than a regular human, having survived being impaled by her own blades, and even being riddled with bullets. Some injuries heal slower or faster than others, depending on the severity, and she's unable to regenerate missing limbs, organs, or brain cells.

Hopeless With Tech: Type 2; Pagan knows how a cellphone works at least. But that's about it. And sometimes she can't tell some devices apart.

Pagan: This is so confusing. Oseiko, I've been trrying to text Jeanne all day but therre's no rresponse!

Oseiko: ... uhm... Pagan, that's a calculator.

Ironic Allergy: Pagan is allergic to catnip. While it can still get her high, she also can't stop sneezing when she's around it. Mostly played for laughs.

Literal-Minded: Tied in to her adorkable personality, Pagan sometimes doesn't quite understand figurative speech just yet.

Moonhowl: Okay, girl. Fess up now. Three kids. All girls. Just admit it. Your biological clock is ticking.

Pagan: I don't own a clock.

Ms. Fanservice: Between Jeanne and Kuroi Widow, Pagan's choice of attire is a bit more form-fitting and lacking of armor. But considering she's tougher and quicker than a regular human it can be argued she doesn't really need armor all that much.

My Instincts Are Showing: Pagan will often walk on her hands and knees and sit on all fours, brush her head against someone's leg, blink her eyes slowly around someone she trusts, etc. All the telltale body language that cats usually exhibit.

Noble Savage: Living most of your life in the Louisiana Bayou tends to do that, though she still protected people from being attacked by any of the wildlife there.

Non-Malicious Monster: Pagan would argue that she's not even a monster, just an animal. Even so, humans who don't know her wouldn't see her that way, and may be afraid or even attack her, even though she has vowed to protect them from monsters that WOULD kill them.

Parental Abandonment: The Wampus Cat, Pagan's mother, abandoned her when she was only a kitten; her human father never even knew she existed.

Proportional Aging: Pagan ages approximately every six and a half years; having been born in 1882, as of 2020, she would be 138 years old, though physically she looks like she's in her early 20's.

Shameless Fanservice Girl: Pagan dislikes clothing and would love to just go around naked all the time since she WAS naked throughout her childhood in the Louisiana Swamps. But for the sake of her friends and passers by she wears clothes out of simple courtesy.

Super Reflexes: Pagan has incredible reflexes, able to dodge most attacks rather effortlessly, and also shows incredible flexibility, especially when slipping out of restraints that would've easily held a normal human.

Super Senses: Pagan's senses are about ten times as keen as an average human's, and about five times that of an average cat's. She is able to see in the dark due to feline-like night vision, and she's also to smell pheromones allowing her to read emotions of others on a basic level, and can easily tell when someone is lying to her from sensing said pheromones and hearing their heartbeat.

Super Strength: Pagan can lift up to nearly 950 pounds. Considering how much muscle definition she has she looks like she could easily rip someone apart to begin with, if she wanted to, that is.

Super Toughness: Pagan's physiology makes her much tougher than an average human. Her body is able to withstand great impact forces and blunt trauma that would severely injure or kill someone else, though she is far from invulnerable.

Characters / The Trinity Concept - Jeanne d'Arc

"I am not afraid... I was born to do this."

Jeanne d'Arc... yes, THAT Jeanne d'Arc... is nigh-immortal, six hundred plus years old, born of a human and an Archangel with the very fires that ended her mortal life now sustaining her eternally. After she was burned at the stake, Jeanne found herself resurrected months later at the riverbed of the Seine, steam surrounding her where the water once was. It was at this time she was confronted by her true father, the Archangel Michael, who revealed to her her true existence as a half mortal, half angel Nephilim.

With her immortality secured, Jeanne had traveled the world, joining various other wars and fighting on the side of righteousness, or if there was no righteousness to be found, fighting on her own to protect innocents. With skill and patience, she would learn how to travel to other worlds and even other realities, often fighting in wars abroad. During all of this, she had discovered the world machine known as the Waystation, and with a little help, established as a place where people of all types, extraterrestrial and extradimensional, can live peacefully.

Having fought in more than enough wars, Jeanne is now the director of the Secret, a group of superhumanly powerful peacekeepers who are organized in groups of three called Trinities, each stationed in the four different districts of the Waystation. Commonly, a Trinity consists of an Aspect of Love, an Aspect of Hope, and an Aspect of Justice. Jeanne herself represents Hope, as she always has since the days of the Hundred Years' War, and is a part of Trinity Terra alongside Pagan and Kuroi Widow.

Tropes as portrayed in media:

Action Girl: Very much so as it pertains to Jeanne.

Alternate History: Jeanne's prolonged existence on the Earth she lives in has caused some changes in its history, such as the mass exodus of the First Nations from America to the Waystation after the Wounded Knee Massacre, as well as there currently being a 43rd President of the United States, what with Jeanne being present to prevent at least a couple of assassinations after Lincoln's.

Authority Equals Asskicking: Jeanne is absolutely no slouch, being director of the Secret and a seasoned veteran of many wars under her belt.

Been There, Shaped History: Jeanne helped form the United States of America alongside George Washington, and has advised practically every other President since Washington, all the way up to the current President, Frank Bridewell.

Beethoven Was An Alien Spy: Jeanne is nearly immortal and is currently heading a group of superhuman peacekeepers from another reality.

Boyish Short Hair: Though Jeanne has experimented with longer hair (and even dyed her hair blond once, though she didn't like it), Jeanne enjoys wearing her hair short.

Burn The Witch: Jeanne's fate, as history has written. She gets better though.

Deadpan Snarker: Though she wasn't like this in the past, the centuries she's lived have caused her to become this.

Dimensional Traveler: Jeanne is able to connect one doorway to another to other worlds, even other realities, depending on whether or not she knows where her destination is. This isn't a power that came to her right away, as she had to learn how to use it. And she has implied that her teacher has an affinity for lighthouses...

Gold And White Are Divine: Jeanne often wears white, and her armor is adorned with a gold fleur-de-lis.

Historical Badass Upgrade: Decked out in modern day armor and sometimes more advanced weaponry, Jeanne is this in spades (though she still uses her old sword and shield).

Historical Hero Upgrade: Actually downgraded; Jeanne herself will admit she wasn't as noble as the retellings of her past would say, though the centuries of her eternal life have left her more humbled than she was in her youth.

Hope Bringer: As the Aspect of Hope of Trinity Terra. She is often depicted as the beacon of hope for France during the Hundred Years' War.

Jeanne d'Archétype: This IS Jeanne d'Arc we're talking about here.

Just A Stupid Accent: Jeanne is French, so she speaks in a French accent. Averted as she is multilingual due to centuries of life, and can sometimes even speak in an American accent to hide where she comes from.

Knight In Shining Armor: Very much this in the Hundred Years' War. And while the armor she wears has evolved over time, it is still very much a shade of white and light gray.

Knight Templar: Jeanne was like this in the past, driven to drive the English from France by any means necessary. While she has been tempered through the centuries, there are times she can still come dangerously close at times during missions.

Lady Of War: While it's a common depiction, in history there's no proof of it; in this case however, it's said that it's been all but hardwired into her very being, due to her father being a warrior angel.

Momento MacGuffin: Extremely downplayed; Jeanne is often seen using her old sword and shield from her days in the Hundred Years' War, though what she uses now are actually more enhanced models; the originals are kept stored away as they're too old to be used in battle anymore.

Nigh-Invulnerability: Jeanne is immortal, though she can still be killed temporarily if injured enough... even then, she'll just explode in a burst of flame and resurrect from her own ashes. Though even that can take time, depending on the severity of the damage.

Oblivious To Love: She was like this in the past. Though that has been averted as the centuries have gone on; it's heavily implied that she has had a past relationship with "The Lord Revenant" Emperor Shaed Bloodgrave.

Playing With Fire: The very fires that killed her now keep her alive. Injure her and the wound will bleed... then smoke... then catch on fire and heal away. It's also said her fires burn hotter than napalm, she's immune to outside flames, and can't feel the cold anymore.

Red Baron: She called herself "La Pucelle" ("The Maiden") in the past. Though that title has evolved into being "The Maid of Orléans."

Shell Shocked Veteran: While she hides it well, fighting in countless wars over the course of centuries can not have been good for Jeanne's well being. Though there is a reason why she sometimes is seen with a glass of red wine.

Shrouded In Myth: Even before she died (the first time) Jeanne's name had become legend, and in the centuries that followed, she would come to become associated with various ideologies and causes.

Took A Level In Badass: From a peasant girl to perhaps one of the greatest military strategists in human history. Not bad, really.
