Alias: Terra
Name: Tara Rasputin
Descriptors: Calous, Passive, Uncompromising

Biography:
Tara Rasputin is almost enirely defined by her place of business: Sanctuary. To hear her say it, the situation outside is too dire to be overly concerned with things like good and evil. To that end, she offers Sanctuary to any that are interested in doing business in a safe environment. And the business they do is none of hers. As long as they don't break the peace while they are there, Tara places no restrictions on her guests other than they cannot stay for longer than 24 hours. She is aware that a wide variety of unsavory business activities are arranged while under her protection, but she considers that the price she must pay to earn the trust of everyone with the power to make a difference. There will come a day when the survival of the species may depend on the existence of true neutral territory.

Otherwise, Tara is a painfully normal girl with one very potent gift. She is neither smart nor dumb, strong nor weak. Where she is extraordinary is her will and her determination. Not once in the three years since the bombs fell has she broken her own rules. But as a result, in those same three years no one under her protection has ever been seriously harmed in Sanctuary. She has had to make examples out villains, heroes and the poor, but no one has tested her resolve in more than a year now.

Resources:
Abundant

• Raw Materials - The bounties of the Earth are hers
  
• Shelter - Sanctuary is as large as it needs to be
  
• Water - Though she cannot directly command water, she can shape the earth to bring it to her

Sufficient

• Air Filters - Porous materials keep the air of Sanctuary clean, but it's not portable enough to be a trade resource
  
• Manufacturing - She can shape stone and metal directly, but she cannot export the process
  
• Power - She can generate heat and steam, but she cannot export the process

Deficient

• Food - Typically aquired by trading some of her raw materials
  
• Transportation - She neither leaves Sanctuary nor provides assistance to those that wish to reach it
  
• Weapons - She carries no weapons of any kind
  
• Workforce - She operates Sanctuary alone, despite offers from those that wish to help

History:
Tara has no history before the apocalypse, or at the very least is unwilling to speak of it. As far as most are concerned she entered Gotham while the ground was still smoldering, took up residence in the old Geology museum and offered temporary shelter. It took some time before the people of Gotham began to take this simple girl seriously though. It also took a number of bodies. She has killed, and she's willing to kill again to see her purpose fulfilled.

Powers:
Geokinesis
Though she only has the one power, the ability to manipulate earth and metal with a thought, there is a wide variety of applications of that power that she is proficient with. Perhaps most representative of her potency and finesse is her ability to raise multiple constructs of stone and move them as if they were living things. Other applications like flight (her boots, gloves and belt are all lined with metal), throwing really big rocks, and shaping buildings into neutral havens are simple by comparison.
