Samaira was always something of a troubled person even before her dramatic change, but before everything and especially before that video, her troubles were at least written off as stress related. It was always because of her family, or so she would claim whenever she had the boon of patient-doctor confidentiality, but at some point being picked up from police stations with a busted lip and the faint trace of alcohol on the breath people start to wonder if it's a cry for help. Not that really anyone could help since Samaira was staunchly opposed to such a thing. Her problems were her own, or that of her parents and their strict views and upbringings. Samaira couldn't do this. Samaira had to do that. It was, as always, the rebellious youth refusing to grow up. Samaira didn't see the appeal in traditions, and the hammer swung hard in the other direction. And with it came her reputation.

In terms she was once told by her father after one of Samaira's first incidents, she was already coming to the game with a loaded deck. Not everyone was keen on the Varma family even with their contributions to the community. Old prejudices and older habits meant Samaira had to be better than what people expected. Of course, not everyone was against the Varma's, but to Samaira it always felt like she was being held under an impossibly large microscope. Her family wanted her to act one way, society another, and not once did it seem like she could do anything other than play along. She was that, for a time, the quiet but unassuming girl, out of sight, out of mind. That wasn't her.

Samaira started small enough, taking things that didn't belong to her from stores. Candy. Soda. Snacks. The harmless stuff. Petty theft was still theft, however, and after getting caught the first time she realized a sad truth. It was the only time her parents seemed to care about her. Not her reputation and by extension theirs, but her actual well being. So of course that was just enough justification for Samaira to keep doing it. To keep getting taken in, intentionally violating curfews and making herself out to be a negative source. Samaira craved what she didn't have: familial attention and bonding and, yes, even love.

Her reputation leveled out as she reached her twenties. The should've been valedictorian of her high school went on to not go to college. Her time spent in the back of police cars and underage drinking caught up with her in her early twenties and finding employment to support her was difficult, if nothing else. Her parents didn't want to support someone that threw away her life so what could she do? As Samaira became an adult, she started feeling more and more isolated and shunned. By her parents. By her lack of true friends. By her lack of love.

She wasn't quite sure when it happened, but after the change she felt even more shunned, isolated, and feared. People already didn't like her because of her youth of getting into thefts and trouble, and now she was even more different, and not just because of her ancestry and skin color. At least when she had a skin color it was easy to point to that as a reason for being shunned...now she no longer had that.

It was fortunate, then, that the Coalition entered her life. Even though among them she still felt like an outcast...at least it gave her something positive for a change. People do stupid things in their youth, Samaira especially, and the change had to have been karma coming to bite at her; and the Coalition her way of earning trust back in the eyes of those above and around.

And yet, Samaira sometimes feels just the same as she did as a child. Unsure. Alone. And very, very afraid.

Spectra's Power, in the easiest term of the word, is Light and Color Manipulation. In more complicated terms she can refract and reflect and focus the variety of colors in the spectrum of light. Ever since her powers came to light (pun intended) along with the Change that turned her from Samaira into Spectra, her body itself has become almost ethereal, as if she was a living being made of light itself. As such her body gives off color and effectively makes her like a mood ring, though her more active abilities are not tied to emotions as her body is. With the abilities she has she can control the direction of her light emissions, their frequency (or color), and intensity. Though not physically the strongest in terms of ability, Spectra has discovered quite a few uses for her unique brand of ability. Uses such as (but not limited to):

Photon Blasts: The staple ability if ever there was one, Spectra uses her light and color to produce what are effectively energy beams. They can be any color but no one color is stronger than the other, it's mostly for effect. The photon blasts are like hard light constructs in a way, in that though it might seem like shooting a beam of light, it's actually a physical thing and not just some minor annoyance. Spectra can technically emit photon waves from anywhere on her body but she uses her hands as that gives her more accurate control. She can fire a sustained beam but it exhausts her, and should she use her body to become a bright beam of blinding photon energy, the strain could well be fatal.

Holographic Projection: By shifting light particles, Spectra can effectively create holograms of herself in order to distract. Theoretically she could project OTHERS but she hasn't exactly tried this in the field.

Flashbang: Using her lights in ways other than her primary attacking method, Spectra can, of course, blind someone temporarily (or permanently if she lost control or was particularly malicious) with light and color. Imagine shining a flashlight directly into your eyes. Now imagine it was even brighter than that.

Flight: More of a hover, really. It's amazing what the manipulation of light energy can do to a body.

Hard Light Body: Spectra's body might not have, well...human qualities anymore but it does have certain advantages. Namely that she can't be blinded herself by light and she's a lot lighter in terms of weight and mass. That said because of the nature of her ability, she does need at least a light source to be at all effective making her greatest weakness...well...the darkness. And her body, which is almost glass in appearance, is pretty fragile which makes her a light glass cannon of sorts.

C O M B A T
Spectra is not a close quarters fighter by any means. She is, however, useful in setting up diversions and traps with her holographs and blinding flashes. When things do get to the action phase, and they always do, she's better used as a ranged fighter, offering support with her photon blasts. She can throw a punch but given the nature of her body she prefers not to do a lot of physical attacks of that sort. She's trying to master the art of light warping - that is being able to warp to any light source - but her powers seem geared differently.

Before there was Spectra there was Samaira and Samaira had long, raven black hair and frequent dark eye makeup to give her a smokey sort of look about her. Samaira was above average in height, about five eight or so, and had a healthy, albeit slightly thick, figure. Of course, that Samaira no longer exists. Now she is Spectra and her body is, well, different. Her hair is more like those color changing strands on fake Christmas wreaths and her body is like glass, except people can't see their reflection in her. Spectra no longer possesses a normal body, instead being a being that, while certainly humanoid in shape, seems to be more ethereal in appearance. Gone is the epidermis, replaced instead by a sort of...crystalline shape. Where once there was skin there is now a translucent form, a form that takes in and changes color like a fiber optic holiday tree. The features present on a human exist. Spectra has fingers and toes, a physical 'body' that is just...crystalline. Her eyes change along with the color of her body, but there are no pupils or irises. Just glowing sockets serving as eyes. For the sake of those around her, Spectra wears clothing, though she prefers to wear items such as robes...things that she can drape over herself.

Dr. Wyn Constance Thomas was a mysterious figure to the city, one that showed up to fight with the Coalition, only to vanish back into her lab afterward. Outside of a few trace situations where she helped provide a cure to potentially dangerous virus outbreaks, the city has received little boon from her. Due to this, there has always been scrutiny hovering over Wyn's shoulder, especially concerning her chemicals. Is she breaching international laws regarding chemical warfare? What happens when her biological weapons go amok and start killing the common man? Its these kinds of questions that keep intensifying after the recent events...

Enhanced Physiology

• Immunity to disease, suffocation, and all manner of toxins
• Accelerated healing rate (not regeneration)
• More physically reactive and quicker on her feet than the average person
• Her blood has unique properties in that it can function as any other liquid, such as water for hydration or petroleum for fuel

Genius Level Intellect (Specialization: Biochemical Engineering)

• Capable of creating anything from a simple antivenom to world shattering weapons of mass destruction
• Greatest creation thus far: The Biotic Rifle
  
  • Launches "Goo", a compound engineered by Wyn to change based on the setting her rifle is on
  • When the max capacity begins to dwindle, Goo is restored by synthesizing atoms in the air around the rifle
  • "Stun" mode releases lime green Goo at the target, which releases a paralyzing agent
  • "Lethal" fires red Goo that dissolves anything it touches, much like acid
  • "Heal" launches light blue Goo that regenerates anything it comes into contact with

C O M B A T
Wyn plays a jack-of-all-trades role, in that her chemically based gadgets all have some sort of use. With her biotic rifle, tranquilizers or sleeping gas grenades, she can harmlessly subdue opponents (this can easily be changed to a lethal approach, should the need come up). At the same time, she also has the capacity to restore vitality to her comrades with her biotic rifles "Heal" setting. Her Enhancement syringes can give a surge of physical and mental prowess (albeit with some slight side effects). In essence, she can do a lot with her skills, but it is not always the optimal solution.

Most of her agents are thrown or projectiles, so Wyn tends to stick to the back of the pack. If she gets wrapped up on the front lines, she will do everything in her power to get out.

Wyn stands at a curt 5'4", making her no taller or shorter than most women, and weighs about 120lbs. She has long red hair that often gets put up in a bun, light blue eyes surrounded by makeup, and a soft face devoid of emotion. Wyn still hasn't grown out of her emo stage in high school and looks the part, complete with those awful edgy wristbands. There aren't too many days where Wyn doesn't look like she hasn't just pulled herself out of bed, if she's slept at all. Her right shoulder sports a stylized biohazard sign because of course it does.

Her costume. It's edgy. Like her.

The only important relationships she has are the ones with her team. No one else matters (except when the teams says they do). Due to being a hermit, Wyn has had absolutely no love interests in her life. She has adopted parents, but she hasn't tried to touch base with them since she left the house 10 years ago, though they insist on calling her every week.
