Dr. Fuschia Lorrè

The year is 22XX. Aliens have landed and war has been declared. On Earth's side is Dr. Fuschia Lorrè (an assumed name, obviously), defected from her kind to use their advanced technology to help develop incredible weapons for the Earth military forces. Arguably this is because she didn't agree with the other aliens' assault on the planet, but she's got mad scientist tendencies and the humans gave her way more freedom in what she was allowed to make.

Eventually, however, the war ended, and in a move surprising everybody, a true lasting peace came between the two worlds and even largely on the worlds themselves! Even Dr. Lorrè's defection and subsequent war criminal status was forgiven. wow incredible also nobody needs her cool weapons any more. She tried opening up a commercial defense shop (named it Stopper) to sell her wares to the masses. Less destructive, due to like, laws and stuff. But nobody was biting.

Failing store, however, makes you a prime candidate to be picked up by Venture. Venture is like, a little bit weirdly antiviolence. Not that it's weird to be antiviolence but there are several stores in the mall that specialize in swords or spears, but guns are a no-go? Dr. Lorrè wasn't completely happy, but... she could make it work. She likes a challenge. There's wilder technology than even she was familiar with before, and maybe she could work in some of this literal magic that's available. Yeah. Yeah this could work.

So, hey. She might not be allowed to permanently harm or kill anybody with her weapons, but there's a lot of interesting, often transormative, ways you can stop people regardless. Come to Stopper for unique methods of security... or, if you come at a bad time, possibly experience it firsthand.
