More actions
Lainya Vantrik was an interdimensional assassin, considered among the best in the Multiverse.
There were several versions of her active on an interdimensional scale; they were in touch with one another, acting as a single business operation, although they did not appear to have the same kind of special bond as the incarnations of Jenny Everywhere or Jenny Nowhere.
Vantrik was proficient in the use of most handheld weapons and travelled the Multiverse using a wristwatch-like device, not having any innate shifting powers.
Biography
Lainya Vantrik's long-held impeccable track record of success in her assassination contracts ended some time befre April 2021, when she was contracted to kill “a guy with a stupid hat” and the Creator of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids on the planet Maltare, yet failed in embarrassing circumstances.
Some time later, she was contacted by an unknown employer and hired with the promise of a multiversal mission taking on “two dark specters”. To her disappointment, the employers turned out to be the Faction of the Fooling Fish, who wanted her to guard their tachyonic sailing ship while they darted around the Multiverse for April Fools' Day — and, to wit, to do so using nothing but a confetti gun and an extendable boxing glove. The “dark specters” were simply the “gloom and boredom” they metaphorically endeavoured to banish through their pranks.
As she had been paid upfront, Lainya was unable to back out, and reluctantly performed her guarding duty. As she witnessed the Fish's prank, however, she came to accept that they were fairly entertaining to watch, and began to loosen up. In the end, after the day ended (not before Lainya had received a visit from Pythagoras-858 only to let him make his way to the Fish's leaders), she declined to join the Faction but took their parting practical joke in good humour, a stark contrast to her previous attitude towards the Fish.
