Backstory[edit]
Roxy Ringstrike, an inhabitant of Earth 357, a parallel universe where human-animal hybrids thrived in a society of immense technological advancements, was an undercover agent working for a covert government agency tasked with dismantling dangerous corporations. Her latest mission was to infiltrate Nexatech Industries, which was rumored to be experimenting with reality-bending technology. Roxy uncovered that Nexatech’s ultimate goal was to open portals to alternate dimensions. She realized the catastrophic potential this posed, not only to her world but to countless others.
Posing as intern, Roxy gained access to the groundbreaking project secretly funded by Nexatech Industries meant to send a single particle across dimensions. During a daring heist to steal the experimental device, something went horribly wrong. As Roxy attempted to disable the device, it activated unexpectedly, tearing open a dimensional rift. She was caught in the crossfire, thrown into the chaotic void between dimensions, her body absorbing strange, otherworldly energies. She woke up disoriented in an alternate reality—a busy department store, where panicked humans stared at her strange, hybrid form.
Now trapped in a universe where she is one of a handful of human-animal hybrids, Roxy quickly fled, realizing Nexatech's experiments had ripped her away from Earth 357. To make matters worse, her body had become fundamentally altered by the chaotic dimensional energy. This anomaly granted her the ability to manipulate dimensional rifts, allowing her to phase through solid objects and teleport across vast distances.
Though Earth Prime's technology is far behind that of Earth 357, Roxy's enhanced abilities, due to her world's biotech implants—embedded CPUs, advanced interfaces, and vast storage capacities in her brain—make her a force to be reckoned with. Now, armed with both her native tech and her new powers, she fights to stop Nexatech from exploiting dimensional travel.
With each use of her abilities, however, Roxy becomes more entangled with the unstable energies of the multiverse. The line between dimensions—and even her own reality—begins to blur, threatening her connection to who she once was. Yet, despite the dangers, she remains determined to make the best of her situation, protect innocent lives, and prevent Nexatech’s grand design from tearing the multiverse apart.
- How did you become a superhero/mutant?
- Unintentionally dimension hopping.
- Who knows your secrets?
- Dr Cross and the members of MMMC.
- Name an enemy or rival.
- Roxy has had many run ins with the Black Lotus Syndicate. She has stopped several of their high stakes deals from going through, and, unfortunately, was seen by a few scoundrels that got away while doing it.
- A powerful criminal empire with deep roots in illegal arms trade, human trafficking, and black market cybernetics. Led by the enigmatic and ruthless "Empress Lotus," they specialize in high-tech weaponry and cybernetic enhancements for criminals. The syndicate has infiltrated major corporations, manipulating technology to their advantage. Their influence stretches from street gangs to high-level political figures.
- Goals: Control of the city's underground economy and technological superiority.
- Key Threat: Advanced weaponry and tech-savvy mercenaries.
- Name a contact
- Dr. Elias Cross
- Role: Scientist and Gadget Expert
- Backstory: A brilliant but reclusive inventor who helps equip vigilantes with cutting-edge technology. Once a government scientist, Elias grew disillusioned with bureaucracy and now operates out of a hidden lab. He can create anything from advanced suits to weapons, but he has a strict code against killing.
- Personality: Eccentric, socially awkward, and highly ethical.
