Deadpool and the Odd Squad

Alaina sighed, a frown on her face as she entered the Triskellion. She had received SHIELD’s message just the day before, informing her to come meet the new members of the team she was apparently being assigned to. No explanation or reasoning had been offered. She had no idea who would be on this team, who would be leading it, or what they would be doing. Alaina worked alone. She had always done so, and she was good at it. She wasn't sure why SHIELD felt the need to change this now, but no matter what the reasoning behind the decision was, she was slightly annoyed. She would follow orders when given, but that didn't mean she had to like them.

Alaina walked briskly down the building's many hallways, hands adjusting the collar of the leather jacket she wore. Dressed all in black, snowy white hair fell down her back in sharp contrast to her clothing. No specific time for this meeting had been given, a fact that just added to her discontent. Alaina liked to be on time, early if at all possible, but she supposed she would just have to let it go for now.

Coming to the particular door she was looking for, she sighed once more, if a bit dramatically, before opening the door and stepping inside. What she saw briefly made her pause, blue eyes narrowing in slight confusion. They were in one of SHIELD’s training rooms: one man, one woman, and one… bear-like octopus creature. One eyebrow raised, she opened her mouth as if to ask a question, but then closed it, shaking her head slightly and stepping fully into the room without a word. A man in a suit, a blonde, and an octo-bear stood in a shiny metal box. It sounded like the start of some particularly twisted joke.

Her eyes briefly swept over the small group, taking in their appearances. “Alaina Grey,” she said, nodding her head in greeting.

Deadpool and the Odd Squad

I'm ready. :)

The Legends of Fife

They wouldn't be hard to do if you wanted to. I always make some kind of CS for my characters anyway.

The Legends of Fife

That makes sense. :)

Deadpool and the Odd Squad

Name: Alaina Grey (Echo)

Appearance:

Age: 20

Gender: female

Skills: Alaina is very skilled in various martial arts and tends to have an eclectic fighting style. She prefers close range combat, and uses a pair of pistols, daggers, and throwing knives. She can speak multiple languages and pick locks in mere seconds. She’s quick, agile, and a skilled acrobat.

Powers/Abilities: Alaina has enhanced speed and the ability to teleport from one place to another in the blink of an eye. The further the distance, the more energy it takes, and she can’t travel especially long distances without feeling drained, making her ability better suited to use in combat then as a real means of transportation. Alaina also has the ability to cast illusions of herself, or simulacra. She can create multiple images at once and control them individually. She has the ability to make the illusions immaterial or solid, though it is very difficult and takes much more focus to keep the solid ones going for very long. This power, along with her ability to teleport, makes it very easy for her to confuse her enemies and avoid injury in a fight.

Personality: Alaina likes to have fun and is usually lighthearted and very sarcastic. She enjoys observing others and finds quite a bit of amusement in watching conflict, whether it be an argument or a fight. Alaina becomes annoyed pretty easily and has a bad temper when angered. She’s the kind to hold onto a grudge for as long as possible. She’s practical, distrustful, and rarely opens up. Serious feelings tend to be things she avoids if at all possible. While she’d never admit it, she does want to help others whenever she can, and her loyalty, though hard to truly earn, is very strong.

Biography: Alaina is the child of a powerful mutant named Alden Grey. Her mother, another mutant, died in childbirth. Her mother had possessed the ability to teleport extremely long distances, and her father the ability to multiply himself and control a dozen complete copies with ease. Both of these abilities were passed down to Alaina, though in less concentrated forms. Alaina’s father raised her on his own, moving constantly from place to place and country to country. Her father used his abilities for hire, taking jobs as an assassin, a mercenary, a thief, or whatever else a job could entail. He taught Alaina everything he knew: how to fight, how to be stealthy, and most importantly how to control her abilities.

Alden was a cold man, especially the death of his wife, but he did love his daughter and was fiercely protective of her. Her childhood was extremely unconventional, but it did not usually seem like a bad one to the young Alaina.

Unfortunately, living as her father did meant making enemies, and one group in particular decided to seek revenge against him. The group surprised both father and daughter in the small apartment they were staying in. Alaina was thirteen years old at the time. The ensuing fight was brutal and quick. Because of the sheer amount of attackers, her father was overwhelmed and killed before her eyes. Weak and severely wounded, Alaina was left for dead next to her father’s body. No one expected the little girl to survive, but somehow she did. After she recovered, Alaina strategically hunted down and killed everyone involved in the attack in order to avenge her father’s death.

She then followed in her father’s footsteps, moving around frequently and taking jobs from whoever was the highest bidder. Using the alias, “Echo,” she quickly made a name for herself as an assassin and thief, soon getting herself onto SHIELD’s radar in a bad way. They tracked her down in Chicago when she was eighteen, giving her an ultimatum. They wanted to recruit her, but it was clear that saying no would mean trouble. Alaina accepted, having no reason not to, and has been working jobs for them as a high-level agent for the past two years.

The Legends of Fife

Yeah, did you want us to be making any specific kind of character sheets?

Deadpool and the Odd Squad

I would definitely be interested!

The Legends of Fife (Interest Check)

This is going to be interesting, I can tell. I have no questions at the moment (though I'm sure I'll have some later).

The Legends of Fife (Interest Check)

I'd be interested! It sounds very intriguing. :) So, for a character, I was thinking:

name: Alea
gender: female
power: wind

Would the beginning of the story take place after the kids had all grown up a bit?
