Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.
Margery Kemp started her pilgrimage in 1413 and never really
stopped. She's been a persistant pest (in the view of some men--which
is to say, everybody who's spent more than an hour next to her, and
many for far less a spance of time) to anyone who would deny women
their rights or else allow an injustice to come to pass. Which is to
say that they tended to die horrendously if they got too close.

Margery Kemp started her pilgrimage in 1413 and never really
stopped. She's been a persistant pest (in the view of some men--which
is to say, everybody who's spent more than an hour next to her, and
many for far less a spance of time) to anyone who would deny women
their rights or else allow an injustice to come to pass. Which is to

In Margery's words, she has been given the gift of tears, and
weeps at anything that reminds her of the cruficixion of Jesus. Which
includes crosses, the sound of nails, any sort of physical violence,
the sight of blood... really, she's just constantly on the verge of
tears, and when she isn't, she's bawling. Thus, her *'ed power gets the
Annoying flaw. It's not just obvious, she is very hard to be around, as
she's either looking at you with big, wet eyes, or just breaking down
like her life has just been torn to pieces. Besides being ostentatious,
the gift of tears is an actual expression of divine will, allowing her
to avoid all manner of calamity (including her natural death, so far at
least).
In a sense, her life is, indeed, constantly ending. She
experiences time in a loopy, demented way, as represented with her
Memory of Calvary ability. Basically, she sees back into the past,
particularly biblical history, as though she were really there, sinking
into and out of visions willy-nilly. It sounds interesting and
insightful, but really, it's more of a diversion, and rarely grants
anything other than purely symbolic (and somewhat disturbing)
knowledge. Its main in-game effect is that baleful stare she can give
to her fellow Christians; it speaks much of the suffering of their God,
asking why they don't weep with the agony of the Lord as she does. The
main effect is a splitting headache (two shock damage) and long,
uncomfortable theological questions (Emotion Control).
More to the point are her war-powers, the Memories of Judgement
and Wrath. The Memory of Judgement forces living enemies into Divine
Time (how she refers to her perception of the world), specifically
during times of judgement--Sodom and Gomorah, the flood, things like
that. They are thrashed to their core, leaving her victims in broken
bundles. Does she mourn her victims? Oh yeah. Constantly.
The more direct Memory of Wrath draws, at least for a moment, an
actual judgement from Divine Time, blasting her foe in some fashion
drawn from the scriptures (Moses's four-second leprosy, etc.). This is
actually real, so it can harm machines and similar. It's also less of
an effort than her deadly, deadly Memory of Judgement.
What's her current history? Oh, been wanderin' this wide world,
lookin' for peace, lookin' for knowledge, findin' injustice and sending
it to the Judge of All Life. Her theme song: "God's Gonna Cut You
Down," by Johnny Cash (or the Jeff Buckley version of "Hallelujah" in a
bad mood).
