Costumed Personality: While the bleed between the two is incredibly heavy, the now-persona of Harley Quinn is an agent of chaos and freedom. There never was a goal to complete with her actions, no grand mission to carry out. She did as she pleased, knowing that their reality was barely a speck in human history, and most likely completely dismissable in the timeline of the universe. But now, now she had a goal. Helping people by whatever means were available. Nothing mattered, so who cared if her means were silly, or sometimes barbaric?
Civilian Personality: Harleen is a woman who jumped over the edge of sanity, drowned in the abyss of madness, and climbed back up. She understands how fragile a mind can be, how fragile her mind is, and she is called by a desire to help those who were in her situation, or could be wandering that way. Though she wasn't the stiff that she used to be, Harley does her best to maintain her professional appearance while on her official job. Sometimes, however, there could always be a prank waiting for her next patient.
Super abilities:
-Skills: genius level intellect - How do you think she and the joker made such crazy contraptions and the legendarily dangerous Joker Gas? Leave some schmuck to it? Of course not! Harley posses a vast array of knowledge in many subjects, most most importantly in her very own major...
Psychiatry specialist - Having a doctorate in the subject, Harley knows what she's talking about when she talks to people. Sometimes she can't help but psycho-analyze them, but it's only to get a better understanding of how to help the people around her and the world at large.
Expert Gymnast - Harley, before choosing to be a psychiatry major, planned on being a gymnast. This skill had lent itself heavily to her criminal operations back in the day, being a hard target for even some metahumans to hit. She can sneak, climb, and tumble with the absolute best
-Powers: Toxic Immunity - Being tossed into a vat of chemicals will not always enhance your abilities tenfold, but when they do, they'll also make you impervious to any future toxins or chemicals that may find their way into your system. Unless you die from all the chemicals, then none of this happens. Fortunately for Harley Quinn, she has the honor of being one of the few people on earth who can withstand Joker Gas and even Poison Ivy herself!
-Vulnerabilities: Mental Instability - Though Harley has dragged herself back to sanity, and even almost to normalcy, there is always the underlying insanity inside her that is waiting to break out. Harley puts in a lot of effort to ensure that she doesn't lose it, but she is aware of the fact that it could, and possibly will happen again.
-Gadgets: Cell-phone: This is a doctor! Do you really think She would be loaded with gadgets and tools like a certain someone in Gotham? What she lacks in gadgets, she makes up for by having a large catalog of villain and criminal dossiers, which she updates regularly with any new villains who may step onto the scene
-Weapons: Mallet - Harley always wanted to name it, but it always ended up sounding cornier than she would have liked. Her oversized mallet requires little skill to use, but it's size and weigh certainly pack a punch against goons and most people.
Odds and Ends - A pair of revolvers that she has kept with her since her villain days, Odds and Ends are highly modified and highly dangerous. Harley is equipped with several trick and joke rounds for many occasions, such as blanks with confetti, blanks with a little "Bang!" banner inside, ballistic rounds, and real gun bullets
Civilian Occupation: Clinical Therapist and villain rehabilitator

Biography---------

Character History/Origin: Doctor Harleen Quinzel is a woman with a a rather well known history. Born in Brooklyn and moved to Gotham at a young age, her heavy accent always made her stick out. Despite this, she always fell into the background, and never had many friends during her schoolyard years.

As she grew older, she took an interest in psychology, which she excelled at. Majoring and getting a doctorate in short time, Harleen knew that she was going to help the world with all of this talk of superheroes, villains, and metahumans.

She got a job at Arkham Asylum, a prison for the criminally insane and supervillains. Her goal was to assess their mental stability, and hopefully rehabilitate them so they could one day rejoin society. It didn't exactly pan out. Her time as Arkham's lead psychiatrist was short lived. The Joker, the clown prince of crime, had been in and out of Arkham many times now, but only now did he have the pleasure of meeting Dr. Quinzel. While she was supposed to be putting her doctorate to use, the tables were turned without her ever realizing it. The Joker was a genius in his own right, a master manipulator of the highest calibur. In short time, he had turned Doctor Harleen Quinzel into Harley Quinn. What she believed was him freeing her mind from the constraints of society was simply him turning her to madness.

Their shared crime spree went on for many years. Nothing mattered, the world was an all you can eat buffet as long as you didn't get caught. Well, even after you were caught, just give it time and you'd be right back to it. She had her puddin', they had the world, and everything was right.

Until it wasn't.

Maybe all along Harley knew that something wasn't right, that the Joker was just manipulating her. Maybe it wasn't all him, that maybe she had tricked herself into thinking that he wanted her. That everything he said to her was simply a lie. She didn't know. She was so far gone that she didn't know truth from lie anymore.

Grimm had cornered her one night, separated her from the Joker. She was forced to face the music, to admit to the world, to herself, that the Joker was only using her. She never went back after that. She checked herself into Arkham, and spent her time finally coming to terms with the atrocities she had committed in the name of a horrible, warped love.

The Joker had attempted to break her out, giving her some line about how he needed her. Oh, he needed her, all right. She helped plan his heists, she made him gadgets, she was basically the first in command to a mad puppet of a convict. He needed her foot up his ass.

With a respectful kick to the windpipe, she declined his offer to leave Arkham. But The Joker never took no for an answer. She was knocked unconscious, dragged out of the psych ward, and that was the final straw.

What came next was a blood bath of rage and tears. Harley had no idea where The Joker was, but all of his goons made like Picasso and decorated the walls with a personal touch. She herself didn't really know what happened that night, but she swore that she would never let him put his hands on her as long as she lived. Back to Arkham she went, to make good on her promise to Grimm.

It took a few years, some blood, sweat, tears, headlight fluid, and elbow grease, but she finally got out. Maybe it was a little manipulating of the board, maybe it was honest to goodness kindness from some greater power, but she finally walked out those gates without rifles being aimed at her.

After leaving Arkham and discovering that she was somehow still a registered doctor, Harley put her best foot forward and went right back into Arkham. She still had a job to do, and she was going to do it. She had more experience than some could ever live through, which she believed made her the perfect person to help other criminals get out on a good note.

But...

She also knew that some people, especially purple coated scumbags, needed some help being put six feet under. She was back on the streets as a crime fighter, this time around, punishing the people who refused her psychiatric services! She made no attempt at trying to hide both sides of her life, both as a therapist/psychiatrist and a rampant crime-fighter. Everyone knew who she was, what she had done, there was no reason to hide it. If anything, she believed it made a better selling point! Harley Quinzel, former supervillain, now your local therapist!

Costumed Appearance -


When acting as the hero Sol, Kara has a rather specific costume she chooses to wear out in public. Though unlike plenty of other heroes, Kara’s outfit is not made of advanced materials that are overly meant to fighting or being a superhero. Rather, it's made of the same material which one might use to make cosplay outfits. While high quality compared to most normal clothes one wears around on a day to day basis, the material is nothing compared to that of other materials used by the superheroes. The entire outfit is made from the same stash of material which Kara uses to make the cosplays she known for wearing. Its something that she applies in order to create the outfit which she is so commonly seen wearing.

Sol’s outfit primarily consists of the color white, though it does sport some golden accents and a sort of neon green. Although she has yet to figure out how to make the green parts glow as of yet, that is most certainly on her to do list. The outfit is made up of a corset on top, which is skintight and allows for movement while still showing off a little bit of her body. Then it goes down into a pair of skintight pants tucked into a pair of matching boots. A line of the green runs down the outside edge of each of the pant legs, outlined by the golden accents. She also wears gloves on each wrist that go up to about half her forearm, and cover the middle two fingers. Of course, the part of the glove going back from her hand is also gold. Finally, she also wears a collared white cape featuring the green material and the golden accents on the front of the collar. A silver symbol akin to a triangle, which is what she has chosen as her emblem, sits on the cape. It does not yet, but is one day planned to glow as well.

Sol is often seen as almost being carefree and relaxed when going around doing her superhero work. Often with a reassuring, friendly, smile on her features. Her eyes always seem to be alight with the joys of life, and hope can clearly be seen in her gaze for each and every person she helps. Her shoulder-length, pink, hair is typically worn down as she is running about. Overall, she appears as a young hero who rather enjoys being able to do exactly that, hero work.

(Image is a good reference for her outfit, its standard superhero affair)

Non-Costumed Appearance -


Outside of the costume, the way that Kara dresses is alot more skin to what somebody of her age would wear around. Simple clothing, yet clothing that is always ensured to match and make the girl look good no matter what she is doing. She tends to favor the darker colors because of how they stand out against her light skin tone and pink hair color. The girl is also quite friendly looking, very much keeping the same brilliant smile and twinkle in her eye that she does when running around as a hero. Kara is also a cosplayer/model, meaning that she often has a host of other outfits that she wears for photoshoots. Depending on the outfit, she may also use it for out in public when going to pick up coffee or lunch. Typically she also prefers to wear her hair down when just being simple citizen as well.

Icon -


Costumed Personality -

When wearing her costume, Kara is a very hopeful young hero. She has a seemingly bottomless good heart, one that shows every time she is active. Sol is the kind of hero who at one moment would stop a bank robber, and the next would be giving food to a homeless man on the streets. She loves the hero life, being able to finally help others and do something about the crime that roots deep within the back alleys of the city. Always seeming confident like nothing in the world could possibly stop her, and a confident grin always on her features. In her eyes, there seems to be an infinite amount of hope hidden behind her eyes. Her mannerisms seem to portray a relaxed persona, making jokes and seeming to ‘talk’ to those she is stopping. That being said, it is also very clear that the girl loves her city, and everybody in it. When others are put in danger, Sol is reliably there to protect the inhabitants and does have hints of anger towards those threatening the peace.

Civilian Personality -

Kara’s civilian personality is much more subdued than her costumed personality. Typically she is quieter and more reserved than she is as Sol. When doing her modeling or cosplay events, the girl is once more outgoing and even a bit flirtatious towards others. She is also highly intelligent, and kindhearted in nature. She can be a bit stubborn at times, and even show a bit of sass towards others. Yet she always tries to show respect towards others when she can. Of course, those damn catcallers on the street still get a middle finger by way of response or maybe even an insult thrown their way.

- Skills

Baking - Kara is an extremely adept baker, having had to help out with a bit of the cooking at the orphanage which she grew up in.

Languages - Kara is fluent in English, Japanese, and French.

Cosplay - Kara is a professional cosplayer, and has skills in both the creation of the cosplay outfits while also being adequate at acting to fill in the parts of the character she is cosplaying.

Video Games - Kara is a rather skilled gamer, and absolutely will stomp your K/D into the ground.

- Powers

Super Senses -

A Kryptonian’s senses after such prolonged exposure to a yellow sun are enhanced to the point that they can see and hear events even from orbit. They are also capable of seeing through walls, x-ray vision, and thermal vision.

Superhuman Speed -

While not able to go as fast as a speedster, Kryptonians under a yellow sun are able to move at speeds that are seemingly impossible to beat unless a speedster. Their stamina and reflexes are also enhanced to adapt for this speed.

Superhuman Strength -

Along with the speed obtained from the yellow sun, Kryptonians also become impossibly strong. Their strength is seemingly incalculable, as a result of the yellow sun that seems to power them like some sort of super-battery.

Invulnerability -

Another ability that comes as a result of the yellow sun, Kryptonians are seemingly invulnerable to all sorts of damage. Of course, there are still attacks that can wound Kryptonians despite their seemingly-invulnerable state. These attacks are either very potent, or magical in their nature.

Flight -

Kryptonians are capable of flight, and extremely fast flight at that. Their blistering speeds at which they can fly means the Kryptonians are capable of being anywhere on the planet in a matter of minutes. They are also capable of flying in space, and even surviving that harsh environment without needing to breathe.

Enhanced Mental Processes -

Their physical properties are not the only properties enhanced within the Kryptonians, their mental capabilities are also enhanced. This means that they have exceedingly good memories, allowing them to learn things in near record time. They also are generally regarded as super-intelligent among humans.

Heat Vision -

Kryptonians are capable of channeling solar radiation and firing beams of it from their eyes, an ability that many refer to as Heat Vision. The impact of this beam is capable of causing explosions or melting straight through many objects.

Gene Tailoring -

Kryptonians ranked higher in the castes of their home had access to better gene tailoring. This affected not only their appearances, but also resulted in the abilities the Kryptonians gained from the yellow sun to be slightly altered at times. In the case of Sol, it causes her hair and eyes to glow a slight green when using her powers. Her heat vision is also a sort of neon green.

Protective Aura -

A unique trait due to her genetic tailoring, Sol is capable of channeling the solar radiation in a different manner than just heat vision. Instead she is capable of using it to form a protective barrier in a 6 foot radius around herself of the burning radiation. This is capable of blocking energy attacks coming in and kinetic attacks (such as melting bullets). However, this ability is exceedingly strenuous upon the user. The more damage attempted to absorb, the more it drains Sol. Stopping something such as an explosion will cause her to either drop the barrier or fall unconscious shortly afterwards.

- Gadgets

Utility Belt -

This a small golden belt around Sol’s waist which she uses to carry various tools. These tools include basic first aid tools, as well as other convenient little items. It also contains a slot for her cellphone.

Kara is a cosplayer and professional model. She also streams sometimes, though typically this is not how she makes money.

- Character History

Born aboard a Kryptonian military ship, Mira Dru-Zod is the sole (living) descendant of the final ruler of Krypton. Zod the Mad. Her mother being a consort of the mad ruler who he had brought aboard the ship as he fled the dying planet. The ruler of Krypton was eager to see an heir brought into this world, with small delusions of ruling Krypton still lingering in the mad ruler’s mind. As such, an heir or heiress was critical to ensuring that his rule continued on after he was no longer the ruler. However, things would not go as was planned for the ruler of the dead planet. However, the young girl remembers nothing of this parent or life onboard the ship. As shortly after she was born, her mother put her child into an escape pod and fired it away from the ship. An act that proved to be her final one, as Zod murdered the woman in a fit of rage after he discovered what she had done.

The pod hurtled through space for a few months before it finally found a home on a new planet within the Sol system. This planet, Earth, was the third from a yellow sun at the center of the system, which would prove to change the baby girl’s life in ways one simply couldn’t imagine. Her escape pod came down in the dead of night in one of the more populated places on the planter, New York City. The pod crashing down in a small park behind an orphanage located in Brooklyn, and was found by one of the caretakers at the orphanage not long after it crashed down due to the noise the impact had caused. Carefully, she had removed the baby from the strange piece of technology when it started to make a strange noise. Barely having enough time to get the child of range, the pod overheated and exploded due to damage it had sustained upon re-entry. From that moment on, the caretaker decided that the child would be raised in the orphanage as a normal human, not the strange being she knew it to be from the odd technology it had arrived within.

For much of her young life, Kara was no different than the other orphans that she lived amongst. A story was made up about her parents dropping her off because they simply couldn’t afford to have a child, and wanted her to have a better life than what they could provide. Even from this young age, Kara made a lasting impression on those around her. Always so full of energy and life, the girl was ever inquisitive. She wanted to learn about everything she could possibly get her hands on, and wanted to befriend just about every other kid living among them. Despite being such a friendly little child, Kara was in her fair share of fights with some of the others that lived with her. Most of these fights coming up because she stepped in when others were being picked on by some of the older kids. This became a recurring theme for much of her childhood, and often enough led to incidents other kids picking on her for trying to step in.

Over the years following these incidents, Kara was enrolled in self-defense classes by the caretakers at the orphanage, since they figured it was better to have the girl at least be able to defend herself against those picking on her. Not long after starting these lessons, a billionaire from Gotham City by the name of Zoey Kasimir seemed to get involved with the little orphanage. Donating a large sum of money towards the place so that it could be improved and offer a better quality of life to those living within its walls. The generosity of the billionaire being something that Kara found truly inspiring as a little girl, and desperately wished she had some manner to pay it back towards others. The idea for how she could pay it back came not long after when Gotham’s own superhero, Grim, stopped by the place to talk with the children there. Delivering inspiring messages to each of them, and giving the young Kara the idea that someday she wanted to grow up to be a superhero like Grim. Thats how she would help all the others!

Yet it seemed hell would come to earth before the girl could even dream of becoming a superhero. The violence of the two-month war tore through the city like a plague, as chaos seemed to be the order of the day. Several of the kids in the orphanage were turned to monsters on that dreadful halloween, and several more never lived to see another day when the newly formed creatures tore a swath of bloody chaos through the orphanage on that halloween. A memory that still haunts Kara, as she clearly remembers hiding under her bed in fear while the thing that had been her best friend was tearing the girls who had been in the room with her to pieces. Where Kara was helpless to do anything to protect the others or turn her friend back from the monster she had become. Later that night when she was still hiding from the monsters, another appeared in the room. Yet unlike the monsters she had been seeing, this new presence did not seem to pose a threat. Instead, it was a somewhat gentle voice coaxing her out from her hiding spot. Telling her that it was okay, that the monsters weren’t coming to get her anymore. Whenever she was finally able to be extracted from her spot, Kara learned that her saviour that night was none other than the hero who had come to talk to the kids not that long ago. Grim. Soon after, the monsters were being turned back into children and some sense of normalcy started to come back to her world.

Yet that night was not the end of it, as over the next two months more kids would disappear from the orphanage at night. By the time it all came to a close, only about a quarter of the children had survived the dreadful experience. Yet at the end of it all, there was still a light as the war came to an end, and once more it was the heroes who had brought them all through the chaos. Another stark reminder to the girl of just who she wanted to be when she grew up, how she wanted to be able to help others in their times of darkness and be that beacon of light.

With the war behind her, the girl was able to grow up a bit more and entered highschool not long after. During this time, she dyed her hair from platinum blonde to the pinkish color she is known for in the modern day as a way to differentiate herself. She also got heavily into cosplay around this time, making costumes based off the anime, comic, movie, video game characters, and even some superheroes she so loved. This distraction allowing the girl a brief escape from the reality that their broken world was a mess, and would never be the same after those terrible two months. Being a rather attractive girl, this of course started to gain some attention for her. In turn, this led to the girl establishing herself on social media then from there she was contacted and brought in for some professional shoots. Soon enough, Kara was working as a model and a cosplay model, making enough money to move out and find herself a studio apartment on the top floor of a building in Queens.

It was then that her powers slowly started to manifest. Suddenly, Kara was able to see and hear things from far away. She was able to see through objects, or see the heat signatures of various things. Then her strength skyrocketed, as she was suddenly able to lift her entire bed with ease to vacuum under it while cleaning her apartment. As her abilities manifested, Kara took it as her chance to be the light in the dark world that had emerged from the two-month war. Using the skills from the years of making her cosplays, Kara designed a costume for herself. Using the name Sol, after the sun at the center of their system which she felt strongest when it was shining, and because she decided that she would be the world’s light. She then moved out into the streets to help out the citizens of New York City, everything from fighting crime to helping the homeless was under her belt. It was during this time that she also discovered her invulnerability, after she was unharmed despite being shot at nearly point blank with a shotgun blast from some armed robbers.

Sure, the world was full of darkness and crime had spiked following that hell on earth. But now, she had the means to become the light for the world. To bear its burdens so that it might smile one more day.

Civilian Appearance:



Icon:



Costumed Personality: (An excerpt from a newspaper story entitled "Gotham's new Queen of Chaos") Anarkee seems to live for chaos. Her motto in life is "We all die anyway, so live while you have the chance.". She hates social norms, and the unspoken 'social contracts' that govern most of the civilized world. She actively rebels against governments and laws unless she wants something from them, and would encourage others to do the same if they would just wake up from their goddamned programming and think for themselves for once in their miserable lives. Anarkee has no regard for personal property, and little regard for material wealth, viewing money as a means to an end at best, and a limiting construct built by the government to control the populace at worst. She will speak her mind, even when nobody around wants to hear it, and isn't afraid of doing whatever it takes to get what she wants. Even if all she wants is a pack of gum. On a good day, Anarkee could be content with some petty vandalism and theft, but on a bad day could try to enact a plan to wipe out the entire eastern seaboard. The problem is, those days are often the same day.

Civilian Personality: (An excerpt taken from the same "Rags to Riches" story as earlier) Though she has gone through many hardships and struggles in her young life, millionaire Emma Graves keeps her chin high and a bright outlook, always looking towards a bright future. She believes that the survival of all the races that call Earth home is in cooperation and equality, which drives her business decisions. Though some in Gotham would argue that the mages and non-human Terrans are a blight, the rousing success of Emma Graves business philosophy has so far proven them wrong.

Super abilities: (Classified case files from the archives of Commissioner Jaina Jasper clutter this area of the board)

-Skills:
--Peak Mental Conditioning: Through unknown means, Anarkee has trained herself to the highest form of intellect the human mind is capable of. She is therefore immune to most types of mental probing and emotional influence, and is capable of manipulating and pushing her will on weak-willed individuals, making them help her as if it were their idea
--Chemical Immunity: Due to various paranoias and obsessions, Anarkee has spent years developing immunities and tolerances to most natural and manmade drugs, poisons, and toxins. She can stand in the midst of her own gas bombs and be unaffected.
--Local knowledge: Anarkee has spent a long time studying the people, places, and societies of Gotham City, and she knows it all like the back of her hand. Every street, alley, sewer tunnel, and rooftop is like an old friend to her, and she has a close understanding of GCPD's techniques and crimefighting styles.

-Powers: Anarkee has a latent ability to sense the emotions of people around her. She can use this to detect people through walls and to find deep desires, hopes, or fears. She also possesses the ability to boost those emotions to uncontrollable levels, if she so chooses, though she mostly relies on her toxins for this.

-Gadgets:
--Emotional toxin bombs: Anarkee has developed a type of gas which manifests strong emotions when inhaled, and carries small vials of these concentrated gasses with her. She can induce rage, terror, euphoria, apathy, and many more emotions depending on which version of the toxin she uses. Often she will use them to start a riot, or create a distraction, or if she simply feels bored.
--Concentrated release vents: Built into the linings of her gloves are a set of valves which can release a dose of her gas bombs in a limited scope, but much higher dosage. At these levels, anyone affected by them becomes uncontrollable, as their higher brain functions shut down due to over stimulation and animal instinct takes over.
--Disguise kit: Anarkee has become adept at disguising her gadgets as harmless pranks, making her toxin bombs look like easter eggs, or birthday presents. Using a small set of tools and whatever is nearby, Anarkee can make her 'gifts' nearly invisible.

-Weapons:
--Weaponized boots and gloves: Anarkee has knives built into the soles of her shoes which extend with a kick. She has also built small razors into the fingertips of her gloves which are always extended.
--Toxin bomb launcher: Anarkee has built a gun-like device capable of launching her toxin bombs over 100 feet, which then detonate on impact.
--Rocket Hammer: Slung across her back, Anarkee carries a large mallet with an explosive charge on either side of the head. These charges detonate when they hit something with force, creating a miniature explosion capable of smashing through most walls or flipping cars.

Civilian Occupation: (A newspaper headline which simply reads: "Haven Inter-Terran Cultural Center opens amidst protests by anti-mage groups".)

Biography---------

Character History/Origin: (Several newspaper stories connected by a string)

("Gotham city sweetheart turns tragedy into fortune") Emma Graves is the only surviving daughter of Johan and Iotta Graves, both of whom were unfortunate victims of Gotham's rising crime and poverty rate. Their son, Jason Graves, was unfortunately killed during the Two Month War last year, leaving young Emma alone at only 18 years old. Though these losses were tragic for the young girl, they left her the sole recipient of three separate life insurance policies, which the enterprising young woman used to her great advantage. Now, less than a year later, Emma Graves has invested her small earnings in several lucrative business and has amassed a small fortune. In an interview with several reporters, Mrs. Graves suggested she might wish to open her own business one day, aimed at helping those less fortunate than her.

("Haven Inter-Terran Cultural Center opens amidst protests by anti-mage groups") The long-anticipated Haven Inter-Terran Cultural Center, often shortened simply to Haven, opened this week amidst mass protests. Most of the opposition came from various anti-mage groups, though there were strong showings by wider anti-Terran activists as well. CEO and owner Emma Graves stood in front of the gathered crowds, impressively stoic in the face of the verbal abuse thrown at her. The ribbon was cut by a reformed Blackthorn mage, a minotaur cab driver, and a registered metahuman named Hal King. Haven is intended to be a place of peace and learning for all residents of Gotham, especially including the "Oppressed and abused newest members of our society", according to Mrs. Graves.

("Haven Center: Heavensent, or Hoodlum Hangout?") Debate has risen over the past weeks about the true purpose of the Haven Cultural Center. Since its opening three years ago, CEO Emma Graves has insisted that the high-rise, all-in-one building represents a way for nonhuman Terrans to get a leg up in the world, and prove their worth to society. However, due to the rise of crime in Gotham, and the appearance of the Jokers and Anarkee gangs, there have been rumored sightings of purple-coated gang members in the area of Haven Tower. Skeptics insist that the tower is being used as a hub for illicit gang activity, and have been pressuring Gotham police to step in and investigate. This reporter has, in fact, spent the past two months working undercover in Haven Tower, and I can assure you dear readers, that there is no illicit activity going on. We will continue to report on the situation as it develops.

("Anarkee Gang rises in Gotham" Dated earlier than the other papers, shortly after the Two Month War) A new face has appeared in Gotham city crime recently. In the wake of the Two Month War, power vacuums have sprouted in the crime families of the city. This was thought o be a boon for the city, until more and more violent gangs began stepping in to fill the vacuum. Terrifyingly, many of thos egangs were soon swallowed up by an up-and-comer. Loyal readers will remember our reporting on the Joker Gang from several week ago, but it now appears that there is a rival gang to the Clown Prince of Crime. Though similar in style, the efforts of the Anarkee Gang appear to be more coordinated than those of The Joker, and if anything, more malicious. While the Joker's growing gang causes terror simply for the sake of fear, those who follow the pale-faced Anarkee have a message to send. "We are the forgotten" Some messages gave read. "We are here". "We are loud". "We are not afraid". "We will fight/hurt/kill". "We are Anarkee."

Costumed Appearance: Most of a confederate soldier uniform (minus the hat) projected onto him from the “echoes” of his former comrades, albeit stylized and highly reshaped into a more tight-fitting, shorter-sleeved, and properly “heroic” attire based on hero costumes he saw whilst being a spirit. Think something like what Batman or Superman would wear, but with actual pants included. It includes added generic black hero head mask with eye holes and a short cape derived from other “echoes” to add an even more “heroic” touch. Honestly, no one can actually recognize it as being derived from an old generic Confederate soldier uniform due to how much it has been changed. Unless they happen to be very knowledgeable about old Civil War uniforms, at least.

Civilian Appearance: (the below in the hider, but with modern clothing)



Icon: An emblazoned “US”, which can also be seen on the back of his uniform, which ironically he feels stands for “United States” as well as his hero name.

Costumed Personality: A bold, brave, and generally polite hero who takes pride in helping others and seeking to save the weak. Even small things like helping get someone out from rubble, or treating the wounded from a disaster, are not above him by any stretch of the imagination when he jumps in to help. This of course doesn’t mean he won’t put a cap into a very evil person if it means saving someone in a severe enough situation, nor that he is unwilling to fight others among heroes or the like if he feels he must to do the right thing, but in the end he is just an imperfect person who is trying to do what is right and best. Even he isn’t immune to mistakes, though his years as a spirit did help him in many ways as he witnessed and saw many things in his time.

Civilian Personality: A generally well-mannered and relaxed person, raised the old Southern way to open doors for women, be generally polite to others, respect his elders, and enjoy good home cooking like nothing else. Despite the sudden and slightly jarring "newness" of his new body and being able to actually move about among the living again, however, he has enough familiarity with the modern world from his time spent as just a spirit to function (and try not to spend all his money on shiny things). He does admittedly get a bit excited about some modern things and superheroes, at times like an excited child, but at the same time does have a certain level of discipline as both a former soldier and well-raised southern boy that keeps this properly in check...at least normally. Samuel to has a level of pride in his vastly improved medical skills over the decades as well, though has taken a side hobby interest in cooking as well that he seems to enjoy as a calming activity.

Yet under all of his positivity and more upbeat aspects, Samuel is someone who inevitably has been scarred by war and death around him. Even as a spirit he became accustomed to being around and seeing conflict and war and death and such atrocities, yet on the other hand in his mind and heart does not feel nothing about these things when he hears of them or witnesses them. The events in what is now the Scar especially shook him during his travels, leaving him with a lingering sense of highly dreaded deja vu at seeing the United States split into two nations and a battleground all over again.

Super Abilities:

-Skills:

1 – He can utilize and care for a Whitworth Rifle properly due to the skills he had in life, but more than that he’s acquired the knowledge to become highly proficient with general firearms and weapons handling and use.

2 – He can communicate with the lingering spirits of the dead still attached to the mortal plane, due to being a super strong spirit, which is itself generally useful.

3 – Though information he can access from the “echoes” etched into his soul, Samuel’s medical and even surgical skills have seen an extreme improvement from their far less...”sanitary” and “effective” Civil War era roots.

4 – He is highly fluent in many languages of the world, including most European languages, both written and spoken. At least after having had well over 100 years to learn these things and converse about them with other dead.

-Powers:

1 – He can naturally summon the “echoes” others souls have left upon him, basically projecting the information etched into him by these echoes as spiritual servants who follow his orders. Albeit, they can be imbued with a copy of their old clothes/equipment they had on them at their deaths (or project them onto himself alternately) to be even more useful. Due to his power these “echoes” can become or be made corporeal (visible) to interact with the corporeal and even remain incorporeal (invisible to the normal person) in order to interact with other incorporeal things like other spirits and/or ‘intangible’ targets respectively.

2 – As a very powerful spirit now encased in flesh again due to becoming so powerful, he can perceive the differences between the living and dead, spirit and non-spirit, and the like to a very fine level. He can tell at a glance a possessed person from a normal one, as one example. He can also see spirits lingering in the mortal plane that normal people cannot perceive, which along with his ability to physically interact with them and the intangible due to his strength as a spirit this can be very useful potentially.

3 – His physical body is more of a...convenience, as it were, and he can naturally repair it if it takes damage (or even make a new one if the old one got destroyed). Of course this means he can seemingly “survive” ridiculous damage, like regenerating back from a head whilst still controlling his blasted-off parts or re-absorbing them, but he still finds this to be a very useful thing for his “new life” among the living again.

-Vulnerabilities: (Necessary for more powerful characters)

1 – Destroying his physically body is strangely one good way to deal with him, since it is just as squishy as other human beings' bodies. He has to repair it himself, after all, and so this distracts him. Likewise, utterly destroying his body is one way to stall him outright or get him off your back for a time as he has to work to reform it. Since he made himself a new body, he can only free roam as a spirit when it is destroyed entirely as well. This traps him in his flesh to an extent, though he still remains a very powerful spirit at his core.

2 – Servants made from “Echoes” can be destroyed by corporeal means when they are in corporeal form, and by incorporeal means when in incorporeal form. Samuel can feel where they are and when they have been destroyed as well, but otherwise can’t detect damage dealt to them. If they are destroyed all he can do is re-create these minions from the echoes again at that point. Further, these minions made from echoes are vulnerable to magic and powers able to harm, capture, and/or slaying spirits...albeit they do outright dissipate in the case someone tries to enslave/control them using magic or other means.

3 – Only energy attacks (this does not mean electricity or nuclear energy or such, just energy), anti-ghost tech, magic, psychic energy attacks (not including telekinesis since he’s incorporeal as a spirit) and enchanted objects can affect him as a spirit. Whether these hurt him or not as a spirit, as he is at his strongest as just that, depends on the strength of the things trying to hurt or affect him in the first place. Basic ghost-capturing equipment, for example, isn’t going to be able to seal him away or lock him up at all like it is able to do with generic ghosts/spirits.

-Gadgets/Weapons: Old weapons from the Civil War and both World Wars, as well as Korea and Vietnam, and even the modern era. These are themselves items projected from the information of the “echoes” he acquired from the dead in his world travels, which in more recent years before his “sudden re-acquisition of a body” were themselves encountered as he passed by many modern battlefields and cities. Especially when he passed anywhere near the Scar, for that matter...

But outside of those, really he has nothing else outside of being able to project and somewhat tweak the clothes/equipment of the former dead spirits whose echoes he has acquired. This does not amount to much variety of items, but at least covers a wide range of clothing types.

Civilian Occupation: Unemployed (currently, at least)



Character History/Origin:






Optional information:

-He has experimented with his powers a bit before leaving Japan, getting some amount of a better grasp of them. During that time he stayed at a local shrine run by some friendly yokai he had talked to before as a spirit. Admittedly, they did get a kick out of him embarrassing himself like an idiot in front of other humans though. He will probably never be able to live it down.

-His former corps has been a matter of debate by Civil War historians, who wonder where they disappeared to or died. Since where they died and the lost gold in all now in the Scar, it’s not likely the mystery will be solved anytime soon.

-He...may have worked on a hero persona and costume and such before getting on the plane back to America. For a long time he’d imagined the design workings of his own hero costume and such in his head, as he witnessed heroes and super criminals emerging in the world. The real question is if he will actually put this all to proper use on his part.

-He is on the plane back to the good old US (aka the eastern side of the former USA), which will be landing in Gotham.

--------

Costumed Appearance: Varies, due to her power

Civilian Appearance:



Icon: A letter “W”, written using some high-class curvy font that looks very fancy.

Costumed Personality: Something like an unamused fey, or perhaps more of a stoic goddess, who doles out justice and seeks to fight for what she believes is truly right. She has a soft spot for little kids, and tries to be careful about the area around her due to her powers’ effects, but to garner her ire is something not very fun altogether. She is willing to work with others, but at the same time is highly likely to try to hide her true identity vehemently due to anxieties about having her real face known to the wrong people.

Civilian Personality: A young woman who seems to be in an exasperated but casual mood generally, between the side effects of her power to just what is going on with the world around her. Of course, this and her past haven’t seem to stop her from still being a teenager in ways either. Sometimes she can do stupid things or act out on an emotional impulse, which can get her into trouble, but at heart is honestly a good person who just wants to do her best and try to make things better. She doesn’t mind her current job, though it has its high and low points, and despite keeping up on her hobbies she wishes that things were better for her and her family as well. However, the traumas of her past have inevitably had some form of effects on her...some perhaps to motive her positively towards the future, and others leaving lasting scars that she feels might never go away.

Super Abilities:

-Skills:

Making coffee drinks and hot chocolates

Hobby-level Robotics/Tinkering/Crafting (with exposure to and familiarity with local magitech shaping her definitively in this area as well over the years)

Swimming (is still pretty good)

Singing

Cooking (had to help her mom many a time)

-Powers:

She can enter an “elemental” state of a sort, the element being chosen at random when she transforms and also determining her appearance in the state. An ice form, for example, might make her look like a moving frozen statue where a wind form might appear wispy and ghostly and like some form of specter. In this form, she can create elemental minions to serve her (who automatically protect her and attack hostiles otherwise), fire off elemental blasts and waves and such shaped attacks, generate constructs such as walls and other simple structures, and even unleash an “elemental rain” effect over a larger area to assail it with an AoE destructive attack.

In her “elemental state”, her powers also passively warp the area by generating effects within a 25-meter radius in all directions of her. In a fire form geysers of lava might erupt from the ground in places and the heat becomes intense over time, in a water form water might leak up from the ground, in an ice form she might transform the area into an actively snowing “winter wonderland”, etc. These passive environmental effects and their limited range (along with her overall power) becomes more severe and exponentially stronger the longer she remains in her “elemental form”, which has its obvious drawbacks as well as advantages. On one hand she becomes more and more of a mighty juggernaut the longer she uses her powers in a given time, strikingly so, but at the same time she becomes exponentially more dangerous presence as well.

She also does not have to breathe air or such normal things in her elemental form, meaning she can even go into space when in this form and survive....only as long as she remains in that state though. Generally “flight” is a thing she is capable of in some of her elemental forms, as well generally being able to use her minions in part like drones she can “see” through if she so wishes.

She can also switch elements by rapidly switching in and out of her “elemental state”, though this leaves her having to “start from the weakest state” over again each time. Sometimes she might not have a choice to switch if a situation is pressing enough and she doesn't have the time to do so, which can be one advantage an enemy can press against her as well potentially.

Finally, as her power overall ramps up stronger and stronger, at a certain point the range of the passive effects she generates ramp up to 50 meters in radius. This is usually a sign that her powers have risen to a major power level, however, which carries certain ramifications.

-Vulnerabilities:

In terms of her main weaknesses, they are rather pronounced alongside her other traits.

1 - Outside of her elemental state she is a bit debilitated to a certain limited extent. Sensitive to bright light and loud sound (she can wear noise-softening headphones, or even use ear-covering headphones to listen to music for this, along with things like sunglasses on certain days), and a certain grogginess or added soreness/pain extra she naturally feels when she experiences those sensations. Though as much as she can be like a sore college student on the regular, she can still be happy and active and even smiling just like anyone else.

2 - As a result of this power, she starts off at her very “weakest” and her powers have to take time to ramp up stronger and stronger. This does meant she isn’t as useful on the fly, starting off at the level of knocking people over pretty solidly with her stuff, but neither is she useless. For the first several minutes of her state, indeed, her minions, blasts, waves, and — if she chooses to deploy it — rain abilities are all fairly weak.

3 – The longer she uses her powers, the more dangerous she becomes and the more collateral damage can potentially result from her presence alone. She also would have to cancel her elemental state and go back to normal if she was in it for too long in an area where the effects would get too dangerous.

4 – Her form, being elemental, is incredibly hard to damage without elemental/energy attacks themselves, and she can't be forced out of the form this way. It can disrupt her focus, however, and force her to focus on piecing herself back together.

5 – Her powers get harder to direct/control the longer she is in her elemental state, which can be both a hindrance and even potential advantage for her depending on the place and situation.

6 - Her powers make her easy to spot and locate from a distance, and avoid if one is faster than her.

-Gadgets/Weapons: (None, just has a normal wallet and cellphone and such)

Civilian Occupation: Starbucks (noted as a skilled barista)



Character History/Origin:

Sophia Andersen was born to a pair of loving parents and two older siblings in Central City, and spent her life growing up around her father’s robotics hobby and her mother’s delicious cooking. Yet the times shaped her parents’ response when her metahuman genes kicked in at the age of 4. The status of metahumans and “her kind” was shifting seemingly every year, and her parents did their best to keep her powers hidden and teach her to control them how she could. Anything to avoid the tragedy of anti-metahuman protesters and people harming one of their beloved children.

Sophia didn’t much understand, but for a child she was at least sober enough to listen to what her parents were trying to do for her. She trusted them, and she knew they loved her, and that was all that mattered to her at the time. At least one of her older siblings seemed to be on board, albeit the other seemed hesitant to remains around her. She went to school, talked to the other kids, and generally had a good time like some other kids as the world began to crack at the seams around them. Yet as 2010 went onward, and Sophia was only 7 years old, the family decided to go on a trip east to visit her paternal grandparents who lived in the New England area. In reality, this is just what she had been told to cover up them packing up many of their things and trying to get some “breathing room” for a weekend.

This was when the actions of the Blackthorn Coven and their Three-Horned God marked a drastic time of change in her life.

Central City as it was ceased to be. The world was bombarded with chaos hitherto unheard of before this point in time as well, the Midwest was scarred by a vile god and its followers, and the family became trapped in Hub City as the Three-Horned God was being battled by the future Justice League members and driven back. The sight of that battle, and the monstrosity as well as heroes before her eyes, was burnt into the then 7 year old Sophia’s mind more than any other sight before or after would in her lifetime. During the battle, her father died keeping them safe in a nearby building after being crushed by rubble. The rest of them had to flee, but were somewhat separated. One of her older siblings, the one who hadn’t much trusted her due to her being metahuman and now blamed her for the mess going on, was with her and abruptly attempted to leave her stranded in some rubble before her mother and remaining sibling came back to find her.

The body of that sibling who had tried to leave her for dead was found during the aftermath, a chunk of debris having cleft their skull wide open to bleed out on the ground. The three survivors eventually made their way to what would become the city of Bludhaven with only the clothes on their backs and what little things they had on them in terms of money and goods. They had nothing, had lost most everything, and in this dangerous new place they eventually made a home for themselves. They ended up living in an apartment bordered on one side by a nice Minotaur couple and by a relatively stable and at least neighborly inter-racial human-centaur couple on the other side of them.

Here they have lived ever since, despite the bad there, seeking to rebuild somehow. Sophia herself has managed to get a full through-high-school education through a “school” her family’s apartment residents set up for their kids (some being former teachers or teachers who were refugees), and has pushed herself to learn as well on the insistence of her mother. Despite it all, she managed to have some friends and associates and even have a part-time job at Starbucks for the last 4 years. But after seeing all the heroics of metahumans on television and internet, and what is going on in the outside world, the girl has had a building desire to help do something about it all. Even now when she sleeps she can hear and see it all again in her dreams, all burned into her mind and relived like she was going through it all over and over again in first person.

She wanted to make Bludhaven a better place, to make this shattered nation a better place.....just help people in the ways the Justice League and her neighbors in Bludhaven had helped her and her family in the past. Perhaps she could too eventually help put a permanent stop to the monster that had caused her dad and other older sibling’s deaths....the Three-Horned God...

Optional information:

-The Three-Horned God is something of a very sore point for her personally, with a personal and deep grudge that Sophia carries around with her even if it isn’t on the front of her mind.
