APARTMENT
Thanks to what money can buy, Helena has an excellent apartment. Her apartment is the top floor of a middle to upper class apartment complex. In fact, her apartment takes the complete top floor of the complex. You could say it's her own little 'penthouse'. Within her apartment she has the typical rooms; living room, kitchen, two bathrooms, two bedrooms and even a study. Along with the typical rooms are the not-so typical rooms. Within her living room there's a false wall and behind this false wall is all of Helena's gear. This includes weapons, costume, ammunition and anything else that Huntress uses when she's fighting crime. Only Huntress knows the secret switch to cause the wall to retract and reveal what's inside. Along with this false wall is the fact that her apartment has a skylight. This skylight is how Huntress goes in and out her apartment without being seen.
COSTUME
As Huntress, Helena has a costume that both disguises her identity, as well as protects her body. Her particular costume is a mix of kevlar and nomex, which affords her a degree of resistance to bullets, knives and fire/heat attacks. It can possibly stop small caliber gunfire, thanks to the kevlar blend, as well as softening blunt attacks from feet, hands or baseball bats. Sharp edged attacks, like knives, will find it harder to pierce the costume than your average spandex. For fire based damage, it'll take longer for her to feel the heat, or a burn, but it is definitely /not/ fireproof. It's on the same level as what firefighters have available to them. The costume at its base is mostly purple with accents of white. The base bodysuit is a dark purple and covers from neck to ankle and sports short sleeves. An overcoat atop her base bodysuit affords an extra layer of protection and offers a hood, short sleeves and a long 'skirt' that falls over her hips and the sides and back of her legs. Thick gloves protect her fingers, hands, wrists and forearms, as well as thick boots which protect her feet, ankles, legs/calves and up to her knees. Last, but never least, is the mask that covers Huntress' face. The mask itself covers around her eyes, along and above eyebrows and nose. Like the costume the mask is purple and within the mask a small receive and mic can be found, which allows her to have her 'comm gear' with her at all times. Lenses cover her eyes which afford her protection against bright flashes of light, which helps to preserve her night sight.
CROSSBOW BOLTS
Huntress has a variety of crossbow bolts that she uses. These bolts are both for a regular sized crossbow and her custom made mini-crossbow. These bolts consists of your typical metal tipped quarrels, blunt tipped quarrels for non-lethal attacks and an assortment of trick bolts. For her regular sized crossbow and regular sized crossbow bolts the lethal range of these bolts is typically 100 yards. They can go well beyond a hundred yards (up to five hundred), but by then the energy behind the bolt has bled off so much that it might not cause very much damage. For her mini-crossbow and mini-crossbow bolts the range is reduced. The optimal lethal range is up to eighty yards. Anything beyond that and the bolt might do /some/ damage, or none, depending on how much force has been lost. As for the force behind the arrows, the closer she is to her target, the more damage it could potentially do. Her quarrels are forge-hardened and because of this, they're able to punch through cinderblocks and solid brick or concrete walls. Lastly with her crossbow quarrels she has a variety of trick 'arrows'. These range from bolts with smoke-bombs attached, to sonic-based ones to incapacitate and also 'spyware' bolts, where the shaft has a listening device attached to it and can be left within a wall for ease of eavesdropping upon conversations near. She also has a variety of grapple-hook arrows with line attached to them, to help traverse the rooftops of Gotham City.
CROSSBOWS
The primary weapon that Huntress uses is a specially made mini-crossbow. The crossbow is pistol-sized and can be stored upon her left glove, thanks to a special harness built into the glove. The mini-crossbow is spring loaded, so when attached to the glove it's much more compact looking. When pulled from the glove, the limbs of the bow will spring forward to the typical crossbow configuration. Typically Helena has one bolt already pre-loaded upon the mini-crossbow so that she'll always be ready to fire that first shot. Typically Helena can fire two-three bolts per second, unless encumbered in some way. For her mini-crossbow the force behind each projectile is such that her metal head quarrels can pierce cinder blocks, brick and cement by several inches. For Helena's regular sized crossbows, these are much stronger and nor do they have a very compact way to carry them. Typically she keeps it slung across her back, via a strap. Usually she only brings out the big 'guns' when she knows she's heading into a terrible fight. Much like her mini-crossbow, Helena's full-sized crossbow can pierce cinder blocks, brick, cement as well as several inches of steel, or steel-like metal.
HEROIC COMMUNITY
While Huntress isn't necessarily an always liked name within the heroic community, she is still one of the good guys within Gotham City. As such, other heros can and have called upon her for help. Likewise, if Huntress required aid she could call upon them for the same thing.
QUIVER
Huntress has two quivers upon her costume. The first quiver is attached to her right hand glove. This quiver holds up to a dozen mini-quarrels and often holds her trick bolts. A second quiver sits upon her hip, attached to her utility belt. This quiver is larger than the one upon her glove and holds up to thirty-two mini-quarrels. Should she need to bring out the big crossbow, she could easily use the second quiver to hold between twelve and sixteen regular sized bolts.
TEACHING
Helena is teaches English Literature at the high school level in Gotham City. While she doesn't really require the paycheck, she still earns one. That paycheck of hers goes right into the bank to be rolled into her overall wealth. There are times that she also uses these paychecks as 'spending' cash, when she doesn't feel like pulling a stipend from her bank. Beyond the paycheck for her job, Helena's teaching also keeps her in touch with the brighter side of Gotham City. Her fellow teachers and educators who are trying to help lead the next generation to adulthood and also the innocents of the children, which always reminds her why she puts on the mask and cape.
THE FAMILY
While Helena would love to say her extended family isn't a resource, it really is. When she plays the dutiful niece and visits with her family she can typically pick up gossip, tid-bits and outright plans for what the 'family' is planning. She uses this inside knowledge to help her plan her next moves as the Huntress and her family, for now, is none the wiser.
UTILITY BELT
Huntress wears a discreet Utility Belt. This belt holds a variety of pouches upon it, as well as her large-based quiver. Within the pouches of her utility belt are a variety of things; smokebombs-pellets to be used by hand, zip-ties to tie up unruly thugs, the thin flexible lines she uses for her grapple hooks and a disposable or burner cellphone. Anything can really be carried within these pouches, but typically it's the smokes, the zip-ties, the line and the burner cellphone.
VEHICLES
Huntress keeps a couple of vehicles in a discrete garage near her apartment. The first is a purple Kawasaki ZX-12R Ninja. A racing bike, its only attributes are its speed and handling. With a top speed pushing 200 mph, it gets her around the city faster than the rooftop express. The other vehicle is a Lamborghini Aventador, also purple, which she uses for longer trips outside the city.
WEALTH
While Helena doesn't have as much wealth as some of the elite within Gotham, she is still quite rich. When her family died she became the sole heir to their fortune and when she came of age she found she had a nest egg of about three billion dollars. Unlike some trustfund babies, Helena didn't immediately go out and spend it. Instead she hired a banker, a lawyer and an investor to handle her money and to continue its growth. While she doesn't live within her billion-dollar, or have a billion-dollar lifestyle, that doens't mean she lives beneath her means either. In fact, if she wants to buy something, she typically does, and only considers the expense of it when it approaches many thousands of dollars.
WEAPONRY
In her quest to become the Huntress, Helena acquired a variety of weaponry. As such, her stash of weaponry typically includes crossbows, her specially made mini-crossbow, throwing knives, a collapsible quarterstaff, throwing stars, a variety of crossbow bolts, a variety of mini-crossbow bolts, as well as night vision goggles, zip-ties, zip-lines, smokebombs and a variety of attachments for her bolts (IE: grappling hook and lines). All of this gear is the best that her money can be, as such the throwing knives and stars are harden steel, whereas the night vision goggles are the best on the market; just under military grade. Her zip lines that are used for her grappling hooks is a weave of very strong and quite flexible metal. It can typically hold her weight and up to three others, before it begins to stress.
