− | + | '''Background:''' | |
− | Amanda | + | Amanda grew up in a normal, which is to say disfunctional, family. Mom split up with Dad. Dad moved to California with some floozy. Mom got cancer and died. Somewhere along the way, Amanda learned to play music, which kept her more or less sane. More less than more. After the divorce settlement, and with her life-insurance, Valerie Pennington left her little girl well-cared for financially if not psychologically. Even after living with him for the past three years, Amanda doesn't have much of a relationship with "Ted." (Her dad) |
− | At | + | At [location], Amanda's life changed forever. She was in the city for a music festival, and going out on the town with a fake ID, when she (along with several other people) was caught up in the Devil's Night Fire. The full story of what happened that night never came out. Most people don't know or believe that several metahumans dueled, or that the fires and explosions that killed two hundred and thirty-seven people were caused by unrestrained use of superpowers. Amanda wouldn't have believed it until her own power Crested and started ripping the souls of the dying from the aether and grafting them into her mind. (Or psychically copying the resonance of dying people. What really happens is a question for saints and philosophers.) |
Amanda's mind cracked under the strain. Fortunately, she came into the care of Joseph Williams, who was able to help her sort out the chaos. She went her own way after that, needing some space and time to get a grip on the changes, but now she's getting back into life and considering using her powers in some fashion. Some days, she thinks she's a monster. Others, she manages to believe that she couldn't do what she does without a reason, and she wants to find it in the hopes that fulfilling her purpose will give her some peace. | Amanda's mind cracked under the strain.

− | + | Mother May (May Cartwright) | |
Powers: (Gleefully stolen from the DC 52 series) A kind of disturbing power, Mother May can give birth to a litter of superhumans periodically. Concieving them requires the usual impetus. They gestate with amazing speed, and then live for a day or so. They're all mentally linked with Mother May and each other. They're super-strong and fast, but not vastly beyond human limits. (Basically, a rather squicky Summon Minions. Amanda would lose control of them if she dropped Mother May's power to use another one.) | Powers: (Gleefully stolen from the DC 52 series) A kind of disturbing power, Mother May can give birth to a litter of superhumans periodically.

History: May grew up in the system, first as a welfare brat to a drug-addicted mother, then as a foster kid.

− | + | Wise Son (Cassius Striker) (Name stolen without apology from Blood Syndicate, which was cool) | |
Powers: Wise Son is a living computer able to percieve incredible levels of input and interpret and extrapolate the data at superhuman speed. He's a combat god, but doesn't have superhuman physical abilities. He'll have some mental superspeed, danger sense, and whatnot, but mostly it'll be every damn combat feat there is. Cassius also carried guns, knives, and anything else he could get his hands on, but Amanda doesn't. | Powers: Wise Son is a living computer able to percieve incredible levels of input and interpret and extrapolate the data at superhuman speed.

History: A gang kid who found religion and some measure of purpose in life in prison. He thought K-money was bad news and wanted to get May away from him. He didn't count on K-money being stupid enough to go on a killing spree to track him down. In the mall, he was trying to take down K-money as fast as possible, but wasn't too concerned with other casualties. | History: A gang kid who found religion and some measure of purpose in life in prison.

History: A geeky kid who suddenly found himself with superpowers and did what anybody would do - made a cheesy costume and went out to fight crime. He hadn't found much crime by the time of Devil's Night, but he lived close to the mall. He'd have liked Zip Chick (And, in fact, he will). He was in way over his head in the mall battle, and ended up breaking his own neck. | History: A geeky kid who suddenly found himself with superpowers and did what anybody would do - made a cheesy costume and went out to fight crime.

History: She was a classic soccer mom with two kids and a job as an EMT. At the mall, she was trying to save lives, and overtaxed her powers. She might have even died trying to help Amanda, who would have gone into a coma after the first wave of deaths. | History: She was a classic soccer mom with two kids and a job as an EMT.
