Incarnations of Lady Aesculapius

One incarnation of Lady Aesculapius wore a blue peacoat. She witnessed the fictionalisation of the Firmament, was present at the Christmas Needle Agreement, and ultimately met her end when Professor Meistras placed a booby trapped parcel in her control room.

Biography

The Christmas Needle Agreement

When the Firmament were turned to fiction by Auteur, Lady Aesc tried to find other survivors using her Quantum Whisk, which led her to New York City in 2460. From there, she joined Graelyn and Arch in pursuit of the painted warriors into the Totality. After meeting with Littlejohn on Gendar and being joined by Coloth, Aesc and her cohorts confronted the original Mammoths. They were then betrayed by Auteur and Aesc was made a fictional character. In Auteur's Town, Aesc was the star of a long-running television series which had 276 blu-rays and "wasn't suited to movies" although one was eventually developed. Aesc escaped from fictionality during the Town's destruction and briefly fought a group of Auteur's people with Coloth. Later, she was present at the Needle during the signing of the Christmas Needle Agreement, playing cards with Archimedes Von Ahnerabe, Coloth, and many other aliens. (PROSE: White Canvas)

Final adventure

Travelling with Jason Jackson, Aesc discovered the Utopia Dimension, a world whose inhabitants had developed a "device" which allowed them to destroy other universes. She and Jason were unable to stop them, to their chagrin, but did not initially think much of it, assuming the existence of such a world was a statistical inevitability in an infinite multiverse. However, Professor Meistras, recently reincarnated, learned that Aesc had poked on the far edges of the Utopia Dimension affair and decided to warn her off investigating further by using her own Factory of Crystal to put a booby-trapped parcel in Aesc's control room. Guilelessly opening it, Aesc was killed right in the heart of her Factory, with Jason soon finding her body and panicking, as he hadn't had the chance to learn about her method of resurrective immortality yet.

Resurrection

However, Aesculapius was then reborn in a new body, who adopted a new "adventuring look" including black biker boots, checked trousers, a large belt, a "garish" floral shirt, and a grey tweed coat with a colourful enamel hedgehog pin on her lapel. (PROSE: Life After Death)

Appearance

This incarnation had curly hair and wore a blue peacoat. She also often wore a slouch cap of the same colour.(PROSE: White Canvas ^[+]Loading...["White Canvas (short story)"])
