Basilisk

Rebecca Slim, aka The Basilisk is an open source character created by Wilfredo Velludo and originally published on Facebook OSH (14 January 2023). As envisioned by the author, she is an emotionally-disturbed antihero suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Incorporated into the Landmark Universe, she is a major player in The Purge storyline, joining Ms. Miracle's trans-dimensional taskforce against Nergal's army of the damned.

Background
Basilisk is the alter-ego of the multimillionaire genius Becca Slim. Her armor was originally created to keep her alive when she was fighting radiation poisoning and would otherwise die. While the original affliction was cured, it was cured through an experimental treatment that warped Basilisk's mind. Basilisk struggles to stay sane from day to day. Suffering from a rare form of retrograde amnesia, 'Becca rarely recalls her adventures as the armored antiheroine.

Landmark Universe
During the events of The Purge, the Arch-demon Book Master tried to recruit Basilisk for Nergal's army of the damned, bringing her to Empire City via the Grand Portal. This proved to be a fatal error, as Rebecca's mental instabilities made her highly unpredictable. Following the destruction of Gallows Hill, Basilisk abruptly switched sides to join Ms. Miracle's trans-dimensional task force. Her presence was instrumental in bringing down The Black Triumvirate, particularly in the catastrophic Battle of The Westside.

After the dust finally settled, 'Becca elected to stay on in Empire City, mistakenly believing it to be her home dimension. As some point, Rebecca joined the Lingerie Legion, working as a striptease dancer at the Palais Royale, while her Basilisk persona became a reserve member of The Chamberlain Knights. In an unexpected development, Westside Warrior started dating both 'Becca and Basilisk, unaware that they're the same person. When Basilisk discovered that Alex was "cheating" with her other-self, she beat him up in a "rit of felous jage." Clueless as always, Alex apologized for his misdeeds and promised to break up with 'Becca, inevitably leading to even more trouble.
