Description I know what you're thinking! Another X-Girl, hooray... But wait! Sloth must be doing this for a reason, right? Yes, I actually have a new idea for a character I'd like to get some feedback on.

It occurred to me that the Section 7 girls may just be a little bit too nice (and competent). And that Gold Fever could really do with an apprentice. And that this apprentice should just happen to be a spoiled, painfully ambitious, haughty, not-too-bright lass with a cringe-inducing name and a penchant for (inadvertently) sowing discord among her companions, and getting herself (and others) in trouble. This led to the creation of...

*** Golden Pump! ***

She has the same metal-controlling powers Gold Fever has, although they are far more limited. She compensates by being a tougher melee fighter, because she's specialized in using what little metal she can control to her advantage in close combat.

Her suit is essentially a more skimpy version of Gold Fever's, with one big difference...it's entirely made out of metal (thus removing the weakness of being attacked in a place with no metal around), which she shapes as clothing that moves with her body perfectly, and can serve as armour. And yeah, she does wear golden pumps And a mask (Gold Fever doesn't want anyone knowing who her apprentice really is). All that metal would be too heavy, you say? Well, not if you can move it with your mind!

The major downside? Keeping it in place requires at least a minimal amount of concentration from her part... If she is KO'd or loses her focus completely in any other way, the outfit loses its cohesion, melts and slides off her skin like non-adhesive glue even as she's tumbling down or... doing other things.

If you're wondering why she doesn't wear a bigger suit when she's using it as armour (let's just pretend you'd actually be worried about that), well, she wants as much attention as possible and she - is - kinda slutty... Yep, I put that white cloud behind her there intentionally, and it is what you think it is. The more practical explanation is that it takes her less effort to constantly wear a smaller suit, and that she could perfectly shift parts of the metal coating around to where she's expecting to get hit.

If I went to persuade a friendly 3D artist to depict her I'd pick supermodel Veronika Fasterova (one of the hottest women alive imo) as a reference model. With her pouty lips, confident look, bronzed skin and slim supermodel body she'd be the perfect Golden Pump

Personality-wise she'd be the kind of character that you love to hate, with one upside: she's very motivated to succeed, and loyal to Gold Fever, even though her reasons are almost entirely selfish.

Story-wise this character would only appear in the 'later' story lines, where Section 7 is no longer hiding (completely), because her style doesn't really suit stealth, or secrecy. 

What do you think? Dud or stud?

Can't believe I only just noticed this. As I was reading the description I thought "Metal armour huh? So if she's attacked in a place with no metal, she's gonna strip and use her armour as a weapon. Or she's gonna be knocked out and lose it"

She generally has enough on her to spread it out to where she needs it (like her hands or any part of her body that's about to take a hit) without getting naked. It's explained in her bio how she uses it, I think (since she can't control as large quantities as Gold Fever does).

Yeah, but given her background in certain movies, I doubt she'd really mind!

Haha. I guess the difference between those activities is how she wants to portray herself as a heroine.

She doesn't consider the possibility of defeat In fact she thinks her costume will be way harder to destroy than other superheroines'. Of course, when she realizes her mistake, it's already too late

Does Golden Pump have some kind of double meaning or is it just her shoes?

She looks fun. What an interesting idea for her clothes. But I'm sure nothing will happen to her to make her lose concentration

Uhh, what double meaning would that be?

Of course not!

It's very satisfying when an annoying character gets a comeuppance, even if it's (ostensibly) a good guy (or girl). Golden Pump (dear lord, what a name) has obviously been designed with comeuppances galore in mind. I approve.

I like her. The idea of Gold Fever having an apprentice is cool. I know more about Gold Fever so I still like her more.

"Y-you! B-back off I tell you!"
"Just because I'm completely helpless while you play with me my lovely boobies doesn't mean that I can't fight back!"
"Just because I'm as weak as a kitten doesn't mean you do what you want to with me!"

"Just because I can't protect myself and I'm going cross-eyed doesn't mean I'm a sexual plaything!"

Funny, though those arguments are probably much too intelligible and have too many words with more than two syllables in them for Golden Pump to actually say... especially when she's seeing stars and being um... fondled

Sorry, I enjoy desperate Superheroine-speak just a little too much.
Maybe that would have been better as INTERNAL monologue?
Externally, incoherent whimperings are just as much fun...

Goodoh, I always like a Superheroine so frazzled she tells her opponent exactly what's going wrong and how vulnerable she is...
