Writing Worlds with Words

Villains of Bastille: Merigold Soder, Skin Graft.

Merigold Soder: Supervillain, Skin Graft, Tattoo Channeler. 

Nicknames: Skin Graft, The Overwatch’s Enforcer, The Green-Haired Bitch. 

Merigold Soder, wife of James Soder, is tall and has natural lime-green hair and eyes. Her body is covered in various tattoos, and she tends to lean into a goth punk style, leaning more towards punk. She wears thick leather jackets, tight pants, big boots, and likes dark, somber colors. Often changing her hairstyle to suit her mood, she has been with James since they were both in high school and is willing to get more conventionally dolled up for official functions and business parties. When going into combat as Skin Graft, she wears a full black body suit with a sanguine death head mask, leather duster, and metal-capped jackboots with gloves with built-in knuckle dusters. 

Merigold Soder has the power over Ink, able to siphon tattoos from others, adding them to her canvas, giving them strength from their meanings and attachments. She can channel tattoos to summon the related item into pure Narratite, making her summoned equipment nearly indestructible. She can channel figurative meanings, augment her body with signs of strength, agility, and power, and use elemental tattoos to summon gouts of energy. Though she can only use each tattoo once a day, using them slowly causes them to fade until they vanish. Created objects form from her tattoo into her hand, which means she has to manually equip physical items. Some attributed tattoo powers include giving herself angelic wings, superhuman physical strength, summoning demons, and creating a mini tornado. She is highly versatile, well-versed in close-range strikes and throws.
