Role-Playing Notes:
Poison’s goal in life seems to be to combat those individuals who ruin other people’s lives and who live by exploiting others. Poison is a nearly emotionless woman, embittered by her past, who seeks to destroy people who remind her of the ones that ruined her. Her one human affection is for her son, Carlos, who may also have been altered by Ylandris in some unspecified way.
History:
Cecilia was a young girl in Cuba who fell in love with a handsome Russian diplomat named Vassily. They had a passionate relationship for several months and then Cecilia became pregnant with his child. When the authorities asked Cecilia who the father of the baby was, she told them. That was a mistake. To protect himself, Vassily claimed that Cecilia had seduced him and asked money for favors. The result was that Vassily was sent home to Leningrad, while Cecilia, still pregnant, was locked away in prison.
In prison, Cecilia contracted a fatal sickness. She would have died, except for an alien warrior named Ylandris, who, having fallen from her dimension, sought a way to survive on Earth in a corporeal form. Cecilia agreed to allow Ylandris to bond with her, and save herself and her unborn child. Later, still pregnant, Cecilia was shipped to America as an “Undesireable.”
Eventually, Cecilia made it out of the refugee camps, and got a job as a housekeeper at a Miami hotel to support herself and her newborn son. Ylandris, still a warrior, craved for battle. Cecilia agreed and allowed Ylandris to use her body to fight evil, using the name “Poison,” a translation of Ylandris’s own name. Her alien nature attracted the attention of the High Evolutionary’s Purifiers, who sought to destroy her. She defeated them in battle and allowed Ylandris to use the Nexus of All Realities to return to her homeworld. Ylandris left some of her power behind; Cecilia is still super-powered, and still stalks the streets of Miami as Poison.
