Code Name: Nocturna

Real Name: Carmilla Bryne

Faceclaim: Katie McGrath

Height: 5' 10"

Weight: 140lbs

Eyes: Green, shifts to blue when using her powers

Hair: Black

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Lesbian

Size: Average

Distinguishing Features: Incredibly pale skin and eyes tend to shift between green and blue when using her abilities.

History: Carmilla came into existence during the time of the Roman Empire, her unique abilities earning her the title of goddess and monster in equal measure. As time pasted and the empire began to crumble, she learned her abilities also made her immune to the ravages of time. She encountered others that were similarly gifted but their powers came from some mystical curse of the blood, vampires they were called, while she had been born with her abilities.

Over the centuries, she encountered many strange and wondrous sights and shed more then her fair amount of blood along the way. She has been a queen, an outlaw, a seer, and a thousand other things beyond that. Wherever Carmilla went, the legends and stories of vampires followed due to her similarities to the undead creatures. She is even responsible for the first book written about them, a book which bears her name.

In time, Carmilla came to know real evil. World War II brought her out of hiding and had her working with the Allies, even crossing paths with the Invaders and the Howling Commandos once or twice. The feeling of battling evil awoke something in Camilla, a sense of righteousness that she hadn't felt in centuries. Since then, Carmilla has been working to atone for her past sins, a promise she made to her lover before her death, while hunting the mutant responsible for killing her.

As the modern days approached, a term for her kind came into existence, mutant. Carmilla has been identified as one of them, more specifically a unique subset of nearly immortal mutants known as External Mutants.

Personality: Carmilla is a study in contrast. She is just as likely to throw caution to the wind and party with a wild crowd as she is to spend her time alone in contemplation. The centuries have given Carmilla a great deal of wisdom and experience which often shows in both her words and actions. Carmilla can be extremely open with her affection and flirting, centuries of life have taught her that life is short, metaphorically speaking.

Power Notes: All External mutants have some means of maintaining their full strength and abilities which they occasionally need to indulge in. Apocalypse must rest in his rejuvenation chamber, the Black Queen drains the psychic energy from others until they are empty husk. Carmilla is no different, the means by which she stays strong is the drinking of blood like her undead counterparts. Instead of draining a single person to the point of death, Carmilla engages in a more spaced out feeding habit as she drains only a little from multiple people to stay at her peak. Fortunately, something in her saliva also makes her bite incredibly pleasurable for the person she is feeding on so that they don't struggle while she feeds, another traits she shares with more traditional vampires.

Enemy Notes: Carmilla has long had a standing feud with Selena, the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club.

Teams: N/A
Base: Carmilla owns several properties in most of the major cities but currently keeps an apartment in New York.

X-Gene (Tag): The character has mutant genes which is the source of their super powers.
Black Market Access (Tag): The character knows how and where they can buy and sell hard-to-find and potentially illegal things.
Rich (Tag): The character has access to plenty of money. If they want something normally and legally available to people, the can simply buy it.

Headquarters (Tags): The character has a base, cave, or lair they can use to recover from wounds, repair and store equipment, work on inventions, and so on. The location can be as humble as a toolshed or as elaborate as an underground complex or a Manhattan skyscraper.

"Powers"

Flight 1 (Basic): The character can fly. Their combat flight speed is equal to their rank times their run speed. Outside of combat, they can move three times their flight speed.
Healing Factor (Basic): At the end of the character's turn, they regain health equal to their resilience. (This works outside of combat too, quickly bringing them back to full Health.)
Mighty 1 (Basic): Treat the character as one size bigger for lifting, carrying, swinging, and throwing things. They also add +1 to their melee damage multiplier and they gain a +1 on melee checks other then attacks.
Sturdy 2 (Basic): The character gains health damage reduction 2.
Evasion (Basic): The character can use their agility defense score against melee attacks too.
Heightened Senses 1 (Basic): The character can sense things roughly twice as far away as normal. They also have an edge on vigilance checks to perceive things, and enemies have trouble on checks they make to sneak past the character.
Fast Attacks (Melee Weapons Sharp): The character splits their attacks to make two close attacks against separate targets within reach (or they can focus a single attack on a single target). Make a single melee check and compare it to the targets' melee defenses. On a success, the affected target takes half regular damage. On a fantastic success, the affected target takes full damage, and the character can make a bonus attack with this power against any target with reach with the same effect.
Vicious Attack (Melee Weapons Sharp): The character makes a close attack. If the attack is a success, the enemy takes regular damage. On a fantastic success, the enemy takes double damage and suffers bleeding.
Leech Life (Magic): The character makes an ego attack against the target's resilience defense. If it succeeds, the target takes regular health damage, and the character heals half that much health for themselves. On a fantastic success, the character heals the full health damage instead.
Telepathic Link (Telepathy): The character can communicate telepathically with one person at a time, and they must have met or seen the other person before. The communication can be verbal, visual, or even more complex, such as imparting location information. There is no limit to the distance of the communication, as long as the character and the target are in the same dimension.
If the other persons does not wish to speak with the character, the target can automatically tune them out. To force a telepathic link, the character can make a Logic check against the target's vigilance defense. On a failure, the character cannot attempt to communicate with the target in this way for the rest of the day. On a success, the character can communicate with the target for one round. On a fantastic success, the target cannot shut the character out for the rest of the day.
Command (Telepathy): The character gives an order to a target with who they've established a telepathic link. The character makes a logic check against the target's logic defense. On a success, the target complies with the order. On a fantastic success, the character gains an edge the next time they use this power against this same target.
The command must be something that can be completed in a single action. If it involves harming someone, the character has trouble on the check. If it would cause the target to harm themselves, the character has double trouble on the check.

Code Name: Dagger
Real Name: Tandy Bowen
Faceclaim: Mikayla Demaiter
Height: 5' 4"
Build:  busty tending towards slim and athletic
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Lesbian
Distinguishing Features: When she uses her powers a glowing white cresent appears around her right eye.

History:
Tandy Bowen was born in Shaker Heights, Ohio, an affluent suburb of Cleveland. Bowen's mother, Melissa, was a celebrated and self-centered model who had become rich not only from her own career but also from receiving her previous husband's estate. Tandy's father had left for India seeking "spiritual rebirth." Subsequently, Melissa married Phillip Carlisle. Although kind, Tandy was still hurt by her father's leaving and did not accept Phillip. Her mother also neglected her.

Feeling unloved, Tandy turned for affection to an older teenager named Rob Daltry. But when he left for college shortly thereafter, the despondent Tandy left home on a bus for New York City. While there, a man tried to rob her but was stopped by the homeless Tyrone Johnson. She bought him food and the two became friends.

Dr. Simon Marshall and his men rounded up runaways, offering them food and shelter. Naive, Tandy agreed, and Tyrone went with her, suspecting things were not right. There, they were knocked unconscious and injected with a designer drug the Maggia wished to use as a replacement for heroin. Because of latent mutant genetic factors and some magical interference by D'Spayre, Tyrone and Tandy survived while the others died due to the drugs' effects. They escaped, along with another prisoner, the Chinese human-carrier who would become Mister Negative, jumping into the river, and both began manifesting superhuman powers. They discovered Tandy could keep Tyrone in check. Marshall's men attacked, but were consumed by Cloak's hunger then hit with Dagger's light daggers.

The two became Cloak and Dagger, pledging to protect other young people from the dangers they had encountered. Tandy is fiercely loyal to Cloak. Even when offered to be reunited with her stepfather, she remained with Cloak.

Cloak & Dagger also teamed with Spider-Man and others to halt a murderous supervillain rampage led by superhuman serial killer Carnage; later, Dagger helped rescue the New Warriors from the supremely powerful Sphinx. She accepted an offer of New Warriors membership, though Cloak declined to join. Serving as a Warriors reservist, Dagger also undertook a single mission with the informal Secret Defenders group.

Cloak was manipulated by Nightmare into wanting to consume all lawbreakers. Dagger sought the assistance of Daredevil, Moon Knight, Shang Chi, Doctor Strange, and the Punisher. Eventually, Dagger was forced to use her full power on Cloak removing Cloak’s connection to the Darkforce and returning him to being human. Tyrone was helped to rejoin society by Dr Strange who got him a good job.

Dagger continued patrolling the streets of New York, focusing on helping people get over drug addictions with her powers and stopping drug dealers, occasionally teaming up with different heroes.  At one point Dagger found herself in conflict with Superia and the Femizons who tried to recruit her to their cause.  During her escape, Dagger discovered a range of new uses for her powers, including more extensive range of constructs, physical healing abilities (even of the recently deceased), and light manipulation. Dagger continued to roam the mean streets, bringing the light of hope to the innocent and justice to the guilty.

Personality:
Tandy is a kind person who generally believes in the good in people.  And with her powers, she can help others find the good in themselves and turn their lives around.  She believes in justice but also second chances for those who are willing to change.  She has been lonely ever since Tryone stopped being Cloak, but she hasn't made a connection like she had with Tyrone with other heroes she has worked with, but she is hopeful that one day she would find that connection.  She needs someone to balance out her kindness, which has lead her to trusting people who betrayed her trust, with a bit of pessimism.

Weight: 5'11
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Unsure

History: River was born in Seattle. Both of her parents worked in the medical field, her mother being a doctor and her father working in hospital administration. When he was six, she began to have strange visions, dreams of being visited by a long haired man in her sleep. While her father passed her experiences off as childish fantasy or nightmares, her mother knew the truth. She soon revealed to River that the father she knew was not her real father. Her father was, in fact, a god. Her mother had enjoyed a fling with Hermod, the Norse god of speed. After Hermod returned to Asgard, she discovered she was pregnant. She had just began dating the man she would later marry, so it was easy to let him assume the child was his.

Now that she knew the truth, river was able to speak with her father when he visited at night. Upon her sixteenth birthday, her demi-god powers began to reveal themselves, and she soon discovered that she had superhuman speed, among other gifts. River continued to train with her father during summers, and going to school and then later college with a desire to help others. She graduated with honors, obtaining a medical degree and working as a EMT. In her twenties, River began to use her speed to save others, and eventually created a heroic persona, calling herself "Tempo" because she usually wore headphones or earbuds while working as a hero, enjoying the music.

Personality:

♟ Impulsive - River often makes rash decisions based on emotions.
♟ Short Temper - River's temper is as quick as she is.
♟ Loyal - River is always there for a friend. No questions asked. Ride or die.
♟ Class Clown - River is always the first to crack a joke and try to cheer someone up.
♟ Fearless - River is never intimidated by an opponent, even when she should be.
♟ Media Darling - River is very concerned about her public appearance, especially on social media. 

Base: Tempo simply works out of her apartment, needing no real equipment other than her suit.

Syd Helsdottir -

Not long after River discovered her powers, while training with her father, she met her cousin Syd. Syd was a demi god like River, being the daughter of Hel. However, her mother, unlike Hemrod, rarely took an interest in her daughter. She ended up being spending most of her time in the shop of Brokkr and Sindri. Under their tutelage, Syd became a master craftsman and could eventually forge almost anything, creating divine armor, weapons and even modern like tech.

Syd grew more and more jealous of the other demi gods, especially River, seeing how their divine parents cared in ways her own mother didn't. In an effort to gain the attention and favor of her mother, Syd decided to go to Midgard and kill the human parents of any other demi-god she knew. Syd believed that if she could send these well protected and important souls to the land of the dead, it would finally force her mother to see her. Syd created a suit of Uru armor and traveled to Midgard, setting about to send as many souls as possible to Helheim. After taking the lives of several targets, Syd critically injured River's mother. After a long battle, River managed to defeat Syd, where she was imprisoned on Asgard. Syd has vowed to take her revenge on River, and see's her as the reason that she failed in gaining her mother's love.


Weapons/Abilites/Powers
Demi god - Long life, accelerated healing / speed / strength 
Master blacksmith - Syd can create nearly anything she desires within the realm of armor or weapons, and has a knack for creating Asgardian versions of modern Earth tech.
Uru Armor - Syd has her own custom armor, mystically endowed and strong, nearly impossible to damage. Syd's armor also grants her the power of Kinetic dampening/adsorption. This creates an AOE around her, usually around ten feet or so, where the energy of others is greatly reduced. (This in effect can counteract River's speed, slowing her down to a human like speed, or even slower)

Heroic (Tags): They help people in need, and do their best not to kill - even with people who might deserve it. Restriction: They cannot also be Villainous.
Rich (Tags):  Plenty access to money. They want it, they buy it.
River has access to the riches of her father whenever she needs it. While her job provides a decent living, she has a bank account given to her when she turned eighteen, that appears to be limitless.

History

Born in New York City, Victoria Ryker grew up watching mutants and geniuses save the world on a near-weekly basis. She wanted to be one of them—not for the fame, but because helping people felt right. As a kid, she’d draw lopsided sketches of high-tech suits, invent outlandish powers, and write stories where she always led the charge. But that day—the day she'd become something more—never came.

Through high school, it became obvious: Victoria wasn’t special. No powers. No secret legacy she knew of. Just a smart, restless girl with a lousy track record at part-time jobs and a habit of overreaching. Still, her mother never let her quit. She pushed her, challenged her, taught her to trust her instincts and always read between the lines. Especially when something didn’t seem right.

As a military officer then government agent, her mom was always working, always somewhere she couldn’t talk about—but always came home. With tired eyes and stories about “friend-of-a-friend” situations that sounded a little too tactical. Victoria stopped asking questions. She just learned to notice the things most people missed.

It was tech that gave her direction. What started with sci-fi obsessions turned into sleepless nights coding, soldering, and taking things apart just to understand how they worked. Robotics and hacking became her fluency. She led her school’s tech teams, made a few enemies in the corporate cybersecurity world, and quietly got accepted into MIT.

At school, she let go of the superhero dream. She found meaning in mentorship—in teaching coding to kids, repairing devices for underserved communities, and proving that tech could build bridges where society had burned them.

Then everything changed.

During a semester break, Victoria went home to visit her mother. Just one night with friends, a sleepover in a supposedly safe neighborhood. She never even saw the blast. One second, she was laughing; the next, waking up days later, wired to machines, disoriented, and unable to move. She expected a hospital. Instead, she was in Stark Tower.

They said it was a gas leak, but the story never really added up. Whatever happened that night left her on the edge of death. But someone made a call—a call that got answered faster than most people even knew how to ask. What followed was months of recovery, pain, trial and error. She had to relearn everything, from walking to writing code. She wasn’t just human anymore. The tech in her veins was experimental. Dangerous. And it responded to her like it had been waiting for her all along.

The recovery was brutal. Her muscles didn’t listen, her balance was gone, and the tech embedded in her body had to be recalibrated constantly. But she adapted. Rebuilt. Relearned. That was her gift—not the hardware, but the mindset to evolve.

She transferred her credits to NYU, started a quiet job at Stark Enterprises, and—eventually—earned clearance with S.H.I.E.L.D. Not as a super-soldier or genius billionaire, but as someone who’d survived, adapted, and chose to fight back anyway.

Most people never knew who made that emergency call. Or why Victoria always walked like someone used to hiding in plain sight.

She still volunteers in the city’s public schools. Still lugs boxes of old computers into classrooms that have nothing but chalkboards. Because no matter how advanced her tech gets—or how deep she’s pulled into the shadows—Victoria Ryker never forgets where she came from.

And she knows better than most: sometimes, being a hero means not being seen.

Personality: Victoria Ryker is a fiercely determined innovator with everything to prove and no patience for half-measures. Brilliant and inventive, she thrives on problem-solving and pushing the boundaries of what technology can do. While Victoria enjoys connection and genuinely values her friends, her eccentric mannerisms, hyperfocus, and blunt honesty can make her a difficult person to get close to. Social norms aren’t her strong suit, and though she means well, her intensity can sometimes come off as cold or odd.

But for those who stick around, Victoria reveals a loyal and surprisingly grounded spirit—someone who blends sharp realism with a flicker of hopeful idealism. She's a realist with dreamer’s instincts, always questioning, always building, always trying to make the world a bit better, even if it means breaking a few rules to do it.
Power Notes: Victoria is entirely reliant on her nanotechnology. While she may or may not lose use of her powers if she loses technology, she would not be capable of many parts of daily life.

Oro (Captain Bananas)

Code Name: Captain Bananas
Real Name: Oro
Gender: Male
Type: Genetically Modified Panamanian Capuchin
Role: Sidekick, Chaos Gremlin, Tech Assistant

History:  Oro didn’t get the luxury of a normal start. Ripped from his mother as an infant, he was part of a morally bankrupt experiment run by scientists who saw his kind as test subjects, not living beings. Oro spent his early years caged and studied—his natural intelligence enhanced, his instincts manipulated, and his trust in others all but shattered. It wasn’t until a rogue team of government agents stumbled upon the facility that Oro and the rest of his "batch" were liberated.

Most of the rescued primates were sent to rehabilitation programs in the wild. But Oro? He had other plans. Having grown up around humans, he wasn’t interested in trees and jungle calls. He wanted snacks. And chaos.

Sneaking into a luxury resort—because of course he did—Oro found himself shadowing a girl who was far too busy recalibrating her devices to notice the curious capuchin mimicking her every move. Victoria Ryker had no idea what hit her. First it was a missing granola bar. Then a toppled lamp. Then a smug monkey making faces at her from the foot of her bed.

Their “rivalry” escalated until the day it became something more. Agents from the original facility tracked Oro down and launched a retrieval mission, not caring who got in their way. In the mayhem, Victoria’s mother tried to hold them off while Victoria and Oro ran. But escape wasn’t so simple. They were captured—and Victoria was hurt. Oro, frantic and furious, unleashed his latent ability in a burst of distraction, buying Victoria just enough time to activate a hidden phaser. Injured and scared, the two turned invisible and hid until her mother could reach them.

That moment changed everything. For Oro, it meant finally finding someone who didn’t see him as a mistake or an experiment. For Victoria, it meant learning that sometimes the weirdest bonds are the strongest. From then on, they were a team. A brilliant, dysfunctional, inseparable team.

Personality: Oro is a grade-A menace with a genius-level knack for mischief and sarcasm. He’s clever, expressive, and a total gremlin—if gremlins had an eye for sabotage, a flair for drama, and a secret heart of gold. He enjoys annoying Victoria more than anything else on Earth, but he’d also fight to the death for her (and probably prank her mid-rescue).

Despite his antics, Oro is deeply intelligent and capable of surprising insight. He communicates through expressive gestures, stolen voice clips, and occasionally through Victoria’s tech. Oro is loud, infuriating, and wildly uncooperative. He’s also the only one who’s ever matched Victoria’s strange energy without asking her to tone it down. Between the pranks and the chaos, there’s something real: two misfits who found each other by accident and stuck. Just… maybe duck when he starts rummaging through the toolbox.

Sidekick Ability: (Tactical Support) Oro isn’t the kind of sidekick who punches hard or flies fast—he’s the kind who swings through chaos yelling “CHAAAARGE!” while launching a spoon at someone’s head. Equal parts battlefield distraction and banana-fueled tactician, Oro boosts morale by mocking enemies, hyping up allies, and occasionally reenacting historic battles on someone’s shoulder.

His plans shouldn’t work. They really shouldn’t. But somehow, amid the chaos—Victoria gets her shot, enemies trip over themselves, and the day gets saved. He’s more than a sidekick. He’s a menace with a mission.

(Also once declared himself King of the Couch Fort. No one challenged him.)

History (Content Warning: Corruption, Trauma)

Aurora Crowley never knew what it meant to belong. From the moment she took her first breath, the world treated her like a passing shadow—shifted from house to house, face to face, each more fleeting than the last. She learned early that permanence was a lie. Affection, conditional. Safety, temporary. Once or twice, families whispered promises of adoption, of love, but those hopes always crumbled under strange and inexplicable circumstances. No one stayed. Not even the well-meaning social worker who had once felt like a constant—until he, too, vanished into a better offer, leaving her to start over with someone new.

That was the moment Aurora stopped waiting to be saved. She learned to prioritize the one thing that never left her: herself.

Walls went up, sharp and silent. She taught herself not to need. With a cold sort of precision, she built a life around survival and success. She coasted through school on sharp instincts and smarter shortcuts. She did what was necessary—no more, no less—and still managed to outpace her peers. Aurora wasn’t a workaholic. She just liked winning. Liked the challenge. Liked knowing she could.

Her magic surfaced sometime in high school—quiet, instinctive, powerful. She didn’t question it. Why would she? The universe had finally given her something she could use. She wielded it like everything else: strategically, indulgently, unapologetically. It became another tool in her arsenal, another edge in a world that rewarded the cunning.

Through college, she became relentless. Unyielding. She carved her way into one of the most prestigious law schools in the country on the sheer strength of will and work ethic alone. She studied, networked, climbed, outpaced. By the time she graduated, she’d transformed into the kind of woman no one could ignore—elegant, formidable, untouchable.

Her chosen path? Defending those the world had discarded, if they could afford the price. Ruthless in the courtroom, Aurora became a legend among the elite.

Then came the choices that earned her a name.

A transport van carrying a group of offenders was ambushed en route to a secure facility. Two officers were tragically killed. The detainees vanished. Authorities traced the attack to an anonymous tip and a magically encrypted trail that led straight to Aurora Crowley. No charges were filed. But the whispers began.

Later, she was handed a high-profile case: a guaranteed win defending a corporate heir accused of serious misconduct. Aurora lost—spectacularly. The public claimed she threw the trial for a payday or political favor. The truth was quieter: the stakes went deeper than anyone knew. Winning would have caused irreversible harm. So she let the case burn. No one could prove it.

Then came the safehouse incident. Surveillance photos leaked showing Aurora in a secluded property with several missing young adults—people the city had written off. They were unharmed. Comfortable. But no explanation followed. She refused to speak. The rumors filled in the gaps.

But her most damning moment came on camera. A viral video captured her in full magical fury—smirking as she drained the life from several licensed heroes mid-combat, standing calm amidst conjured flames and glowing crimson bands. No excuse. No defense. That footage sealed her fate. Villain. No one asked why she was there. No one cared what led her to that battlefield.

Whispers claim she struck pacts with dark forces. The truth? Aurora doesn’t know where her power comes from. Only that it answers her call. That it sharpens when she’s cornered. And that it’s hers alone.

Despite it all, she still takes pro bono cases for the system-impacted. She donates sizable, untraceable sums to shelters and outreach programs for the forgotten. But she never mentions it. Only a few people know the truth—rare exceptions who saw through the myth and chose to stand beside her: as believers, as allies, or as survivors of the system she refuses to abandon.

She doesn’t seek redemption. She doesn’t believe in it.

She just keeps moving forward—cold, brilliant, indulgent, and entirely on her own terms.

Personality: Aurora Crowley is the embodiment of calculated indulgence—brilliant when it benefits her, biting when provoked, and utterly unbothered by expectations she didn’t set herself. She’s sharp-witted and unapologetically self-interested, rarely lifting a finger unless there’s something in it for her. Efficiency is her religion; she only does what’s absolutely necessary and prefers clever shortcuts over wasted effort. Some call it laziness—she calls it resource allocation.

She’s sarcastic to a fault, with a talent for weaponizing words and a resting smirk that says she’s always two steps ahead. Challenges are the only thing that draw her out of a comfortable haze; if something is too easy, it’s not worth her attention. Still, when she chooses to act, she does so with ruthless precision and disarming poise.

Aurora doesn't pretend to be kind. She doesn’t go out of her way to help. But every so often, a glimmer of something softer flickers beneath the surface—a choice made quietly, a life changed with no credit taken. She’ll deny it if asked, of course. She's got a reputation to maintain.

Build:  Twins: busty, slim and petite / Valkyre: busty, tall and muscular
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Lesbian
Distinguishing Features: they are identical twins
History:
Chloe and Zoe had a normal life with their average parents.  Although eventually their parents ended up divorcing, but they did work together to provide for the twins. 

Zoe and Chloe loved switching places, doing everything together.  It got to the point that even their parents were no longer sure who was who.  The twins often talked about being one person in two bodies. Of course school administration hated it when Chloe and Zoe would switch places and classes, eventually though they gave up and always scheduled the twins to the same classes, it was just easier.

During college, they started cooking because they were unsastified with the different cafeterias. They slowly got good and made money on the side doing cosplay for computer games they loved.  Eventually they got into posting videos of them cooking in costume or making videos of making their costumes, getting feedback from fans on what costume to make next or what food to make.  Their fan base slowly grew as they got better at cooking, making costumes and filming. 

Eventually they got invited to convections and during one of them, tehy got kidnapped by some cultists of someone they called the Mother of Demons.  A magic ritual was going on around them when a blue skinned strange looking woman showed up.  And then several other women, all of them started slinging magic around.  Chloe and Zoe couldn't do anything as they were tied down to an altar.  Suddenly they were hit by a spell, then other spells tried to stop or alter what was going on.  They really didn't understand who was who and why they were fighting, all they knew was suddenly they were together inside of a strong, muscular blonde body.  They broke free of the bindings and crashed their way out of the cellar they were being held in, escaping the fighting. 

They got home, discovered they could fly in the process.  Anyway it was all a big mess, but they kept secret they could combine together to turn into Valkyre, the superheroine.  They discovered that the different bodies keep the last clothing they were wearing, so they have developed a style for Valkyre with clothing that was tougher than normal to survive fights.  They also started fighting crime, almost by accident, as situations started happening around them and they could either stand aside or help.  They now had the ability to help, so they did.

Personality:
Chloe and Zoe are nice, but they do like to confuse people as too who is who.  At this point, no one knows who was originally Zoe and who was Chloe.  They share everything with each other, even girlfriends at times. They try to use their fame to help those in need, bringing people's attention to different causes in need of attention.  They approach life seriously but with a sense of humor about everything. 

They can now be Two Minds in One Body or One Mind in Two Bodies.

Base: New York streets.

History:

[/font][/size][/color]
Junichiro Nikolaevich Howlett, known as Nik, was born in the shadow of tragedy shortly after the Sabretooth War claimed the life of his father, Akihiro Howlett aka Fang. Following Fang’s death, Clara Creed, Nik’s mother, attempted to shield her son from the chaos of the mutant world, but her efforts ended before it couuld bear any fruit. At age five, a catastrophic event—shrouded in Nik’s fragmented memories—resulted in Clara’s death and severe injuries to Nik, including broken limbs, internal haemorraging and lichtenberg burns. Sabretooth, in a twisted attempt to save his nephew by awakening his dormant mutant abilities, performed a gruesome procedure on-site. To reinforce Nik’s shattered bones, Sabretooth used an experimental Titanium-Tantalum-Niobium-Zirconium foam, a biocompatible alloy known for its use in bone-replacement implants. Furthermore, he implanted Clara’s heart, adrenal gland, kidneys, and one eye into Nik, alongside a dose of Mutant Growth Hormone derived from his own flesh. The trauma of the hour long procedure, with no shelter from the raw pain and fear, burned Sabretooth's looming face as the only clear memory in Nik’s psyche. The exact details of Clara’s death, however, remains shrouded.

At age six, Anastasia Tatiana Kravinova, known as The Thundercat, spirited Nik away from Sabretooth’s clutches. Her motives were, initially, to use him as bait to draw out Sabretooth, with whom she had a longstanding vendetta. Driven by her own vendetta against Creed, Anastasia took Nik to Pleistocene Park, east side of Sakha Republic of Siberia. It is a joint de-extinction venture involving Russia, Mongolia, Sokovia, Latveria, and Symkaria. The park, dedicated to reviving prehistoric species like dire wolves and mammoths, became Nik’s training ground. She raised him as if he were a Kravinoff, teaching him to track, hunt, survive off the land, and embrace the predatory instincts of his mutant heritage. She trained him in her own style of Krav Maga, unconsciously preparing him for a destiny tied to her once family. While there is no doubt she cared for her protege, she also saw him as a potential weapon against The Last Son of Kraven, if not Sabretooth himself.

By the time Nik is thirteen, the only person who tracked him down was up none other than Akihiro, now known returned as Hellverine. Nik's life changed as he reunited with his father, and served as a pivot in his life over the next 5 years he learnt the Howlett family combat style, stories of mutantkind, Krakoa, the Sabretooth War, and Nik’s extended family. Finally, the boy had some closure about his father’s absence and a sense of identity.

Time passed in a blink of an eye as the Pleistocene park developed, and soon, it was time for Akihiro to leave. Nikolae, now 17 years old, decided to leave with his father. At Vladivostok International Airport, shortly before boarding a plane bound for Tokyo, he found a farewell letter on him from Anastasia.

It read:
My cub,

You are a grown man now, out to make your mark on this world. You are no longer a sniveling child hiding in the corner, and this world shall not allow you to be. And after all these years, I know you have no need to. I have watched you stumble, watched you run, watched you grow. And now, I watch you go. I watch you enter a cycle spun by me and all others before me, with no recourse but to ride the wave or be swept under it. Honor is for the dead. And you, Nikolae? I forbid you to die. Keep your head high, and never ever falter. No matter what. No matter for who. Stalk their steps and Run them down, until it is done.

Remember, there is always need for someone to break open mammoth poop.

Be well.
A.

P.S. I have handed a tupperware of khaan to your father as Your airport snack, and a Sattelite phone in your luggage. Call every month. Or else.

In Tokyo, Nik served a year as Hellverine’s sidekick, Jagtyger. He did odd jobs and fought crime here and there, but it was mostly getting used to the realities of the concrete jungle congested with people, and being spoiled by Aunt Kinney. Once he seemed to find his own feet, Akihiro took him to the place he was raised. He stood before a bridge pillar and recalled aloud a ghost of a village, the foster parents he was lucky to have, and a brother who didn't deserve him. He revealed to his son that Nik was supposed to be named after the same brother, Junichirou, after he was born. It was supposed to be Akihiro's penance, but is up to Nik if he wanted it anymore. The duo and Laura moved to New York, USA shortly after. There, Nik recieved from his father an odd looking revolver that once belonged to a half-uncle who had went by Gunhawk, and told him that no matter what, he must remember who his family is.

As of now, at 19 years of age, Nik had spent a year and a half in Manhattan, establishing himself as a private investigator operating from the basement of the Renwick Ruins on Roosevelt Island. He forged ties with the NYPD while turning every stone for both Creed and Kraven. Recently, however, he's been following a breadcrumb trail regarding Alchemax Genetix, a corporation rumored to experiment on mutants and pursue a merger with the Life Foundation.

Beyond life as Jagtyger, Nik also clears diseased strays from his territory and moonlighted at local animal shelters. He is also a collector of 90's tech. He communicates with his contacts via a pager.

Traits:

[/font][/size][/color]
Beguiling - Natural Pheromones that amplify any attraction. Gives an edge when making an Ego check to persuade someone who could be attracted to them.
Berserker - They often lose control of their temper. Any time they take physical damage, they must make an Ego check with a TN equal to the amount of damage done. If they fail, they go berserk and must charge at full speed into combat with the enemy who hurt them. Being berserk gives them an edge on all close attacks and adds +2 to their Melee, Resilience, and Ego defenses. However it takes -2 from Agility defense, and they cannot use ranged weapons. If they defeat the enemy who hurt them, they must charge to attack the nearest foe. At the end of their turn, they lose 5 Focus. When Focus is reduced to the point that they cannot voluntarily spend any more Focus or if there are no enemies in sight, the berserk state automatically ends.
Determination: No trouble when demoralized. Eg: Rick Astley

Investigator: Connection - Police
Investigator: Interrogation - Has the know how to ask the right questions in the right way. Edge on Ego or Logic checks made when asking questions.
Investigator: Investigation - Expert investigator. Edge on Vigilance checks spotting clues and on Logic checks interpreting clues. If they have access to a forensics lab at the time, they gain a second edge on such checks.

Krakoan - From Origin: Mutant. As a mutant, they're a citizen of the island-nation Krakoa and can travel to and from there freely. If they're killed and the Five - a group of powerful mutants - are able to work together, they can be resurrected into an identical new body with most memories intact. If killed in the Otherworld, they can still be resurrected but changed in unpredictable ways. How this might affect them is up to the Narrator. Restriction: For mutants only.
X-Gene - From Origin: Mutant. Mutant genes causing them to develop super-powers. Restriction: For mutants only.

History

Trixie was born in a backwoods cabin in the bayou of Louisiana. Her father was drunk and her mother a half-drugged slut that had gotten knocked up. At least that was what her father always said. Her world was filled with fighting and dodging her father’s angry fists the most of her life. Her only reprieve from this was her time at school. Those few hours during the day were always her favorite, so she tended to do well despite her horrible home life. But in the end, Trixie would have to go to face whatever mood her parents were in that day. As the horrible overly told story goes, her father would beat her during his bouts of anger and her mother of course sat back and watched it happen. After all, as far as they were concerned Trixie was only getting what she deserved.

Her only real friend was sadly the dark voice in her head. It had been there all her life. Always soothing or encouraging to do things. Some good and some so bad Trixie never spoke of them. This voice was always there after every beating, fight, or insult sent her way. That voice became Trixie’s only calming force.

But even with the voice there, Trixie could only take so much and soon she began to crack. Her mind breaks one part at a time. Alters appear as protectors and creative outlets. These other parts would take control when things became too much. Much of her childhood all Trixie remembers is a bright white room. The others lock the memories away. Which was a hard task considering her ability to remember details. But nothing will budge the barriers in her mind. So those memories are locked away…for now.

When she was 16 things took a turn for the worst, coming home and heading straight for her room Trixie saw that it had been trashed. Her song lyrics and poems had been tossed every which way. It pissed her off and the voice only encouraged her rage. Stupidly she turned and started to scream at her parents. They had gone into her room looking for the money she had managed to save. And ended up tearing up her room in the process, screaming and saying she needed to contribute to this home. In truth, her father had lost his job and they needed the money to feed their addictions. But none of that mattered as her father came after her, slamming her into her room and trying to take advantage of her. After all, she could earn her keep one way or another.

The voice spoke up then, offering help and an escape. That it could give her the power to fight back and reach her true potential. Trixie, having no way to fight, agreed. After all, the voice had been with her all her life. Why wouldn’t Trixie trust it?

The bright white room again took over vision. By the time they came too, her parents were dead. The trailer was mostly destroyed, but somehow they had been placed beyond the carnage. It was then that Trixie took a near-permanent back seat. Unable to face what she’d done.

No chance to grab more from the rubble of what was once their home. Sirens sounded in the distance. Ava took her over and with a new set of powers backing them up, they ran. Nothing but the clothes on their back. After all they didn’t need anything or anyone now. Powers, real honest-to-god powers were in their grasp.

A new shape-shifting ability gave the alters a chance to truly appear as themselves. The two main being her protectors and boldest of voices are Ava and Zane. The two are very different from the young Trixie.

They ran for a long time, stealing or singing for their room and board. Working their way to New York just after they turned 20. They found the underground rock scene and broke in with a bag. A show at a small death trap of a bar. But it went off without a hitch. And soon they started getting work in other places. The two lead singers Ava and Zane never being seen together leads to rampant rumors and a mysterious allure. A lure that just recently drew the attention of a manager. (Maybe shady) and became Hexxed the newest band in the underground scene. 

It has not gotten far yet, as they are still squatting in an old printing company building.  They do what is necessary to survive, so stealing isn’t something they are shy about, or bad at. Their powers grew over the years, yet still tricky. Sometimes when struggling for control they can shift without warning. And who knows who they wake up as?! Their other powers are chaotic and at times unpredictable, but they have become a force not to be messed with.
