GM Saturday, November 19th, 2016 The Schuster Auditorium, Hanover, Freedom City 6:22 PM It was a nice day. The sun had already set, but the temperature was still comfortably high. The fact a lot of people were standing in line also helped that fact. The front of the Schuster Auditorium, where the UWL was holding their monthly Pay-Per-View. This month’s was “Credit Carnage”, themed after money, with a variety of well-paying contracts on the line. It was more of a bridge PPV than anything, one of the few filling the time between the big ones in September and January. In the line, Brianna Wilks. Getting tickets for the PPVs wasn’t always easy, but if one was fast enough (and she certainly was), it was possible to get pretty good seats for cheap. She waited in line like everybody else, surrounded by the average UWL crowd, most wearing merch of their favourites, some holding signs below their arms. Some went even further and dressed up fully, looking much like the costumed heroes of Freedom City. And then, just as Brianna was about to enter the stadium, she heard screams, coming from the back of the crowd, quite some distance away. As the crowd started to push, the sound of grinding metal silenced the screams for just a second, confirming this was something that probably required Quickstrike’s interference.

Catchphrase: “I’ll make this quick!” Theme: Fastest Girl Alive by CFO$ Birthplace: Freedom City. Residence: Claremont Academy. Occupation: Student/Part time Barista. Affiliation: Claremont Academy.

Her family is five brothers, five sisters and her parents who live in an apartment complex to the north of the city. Description: Age: 18.

Tied into a pony tail, which hangs down to her midback. Appearance: Brianna has a few freckles doting the mid of her face, coming from the bridge of her nose to under bother of her eyes. She has two small stud earings in her ears, both having a small emerald in them (A family heirloom.) Casual: Brianna has a love for faux-leather jackets, and often incorporates wearing them in any outfit. She wears, blue frayed-edge jeans, with a pair of Uggs finishing the look. Costume: Brianna’s costume as Quickdash is a silver body-armour, with a sleek design that covers her body from her neck to feet. On the fists and wrists, there is a set of bulky bracers, which serve no practical purpose, but Brianna enjoys how they look. Her face is covered by a two-way glass visor, so that her eyes stay clean when she runs. History: Brianna grew up to a crowded family that lived in the Freedom City Lanes (An apartment block to the north of the city.) Growing up with five brothers and five sisters wasn’t easy. Neither was being the eldest of them. Still, she wouldn’t trade it for anything. She loves her family, warts and all. What she also loved was Pro Wrestling. Ever since she saw her first match on TV when she was 8, Brianna fell in love. It was only when she was 11 did she realize it was staged, but this did not deter her one bit. Her dream was to one day become a wrestler herself. “Quickstrike” was what she wanted as her Ringname. It was through learning wrestling where she met her best friend, Elaine Stein. The two of them bonded over their shared love for the sport. They soon got a job as baristas together at the Soy Grinder, a way to pay for their training. It was at a wrestling show, in which Brianna’s favourite wrestler, “Issac the Destroyer” was main eventing, where her life changed. After the show had finished, Brianna had gone to get an autograph from Issac. It was only after she got that she realized she had forgot her bag. Heading back to her seat, she saw her bag stolen. Luckily, she managed to catch site of the thief. Unluckily, he was at the door, which was too far for Brianna to catch up. Letting impulse take over, she ran to after him. And she caught him. In half a second. Turning around, Brianna saw the large smoking trails her feet had left running. The people around her couldn’t believe what they had just saw. There were Meta’s in the world, but it was still a shock to see one up close. Panicking, Brianna grabbed her bag and used her newly acquired super-speed to get back to her apartment. She stopped before her apartment, not wanting to get her family involved. She instead head to the Soy Brew, and told Elaine about what had happened. It was then that Elaine revealed a secret of her own. She used to be a ward to a low-level hero known as the Silver Wind. While Elaine possessed no powers of her own, she was a skilled fighter. Elaine revealed that she knew a place, the Claremont Academy, that could teach Brianna how to control her powers. Over the next week, Duncan Summers, the head of the Academy, cleared the paperwork for Brianna to be admitted, with Elaine’s recommendation of course. While she knows that it’s unlikely for her career as a wrestler to pan out, Brianna feels she might use the name Quickstrike after all. It suits a super-hero. Personality: Brianna is a care-free girl at heart, who lives by her passions rather than logic. She also has a barely any sense of tact, often jumping head into situations without thinking. Brianna is a huge fan of wrestling, and often uses terms from in her everyday life. Motivation: Justice and Inspiring: Brianna believes that good should be rewarded and evil should be stopped. She also believes in setting an example for others. Powers and Tactics: Brianna has rank 10 super-speed. Her way of fighting revolves around unorthodox movement, such as running on water or on walls. When the enemies are disoriented by this, she uses her speed to barrage with attacks. Power Descriptor: Brianna’s speed comes in the form of her appearing to vibrate when she moves. As she runs, there are after-images following, with the images having a blue hue. Complications: Standing up to bullies: Brianna never like people who hurt others. When she sees a bully hurting someone, she can barely restrain herself from confronting them, even if it would not be smart.
