Alternate Identity: Amy Quinn Identity: Secret Birthplace: Ireland Occupation: Superhero, Self-Employed Courier Affiliations: None Family: Kara Quinn (mother), Ch't (father), Travelling Sideshow (surrogate aunts, uncles and cousins) Description: Age: 22 (DoB: April 1990) Apparent Age: late teens Gender: Female Ethnicity: Irish Height: 1.6m Weight: 46kg Eyes: Green Hair: Red Lightly freckled everywhere. Light skin. Athletic frame. Nearly flat chest. Bit of hips. Long curly hair reaches her mid back. Doesn't wear make up. Small locket with a picture of her and her mother on a small chain around her neck. Doesn't own any pants, wears dresses and skirts exclusively. When in superhero mode, she wears a large dark brown silk cloak with a hood, it goes to her feet and covers her head and body. Under the cloak she wears a white one-piece swimsuit and white ankle boots. Power Descriptions: When she moves though the realms there is a flash of gold and silver light and a sound most commonly described as "WAWM". She can disguise the light and sound though it is still there. She can also touch a person and send them to various unpleasant realms. When she does so, they flicker back and forth with the WAWM sound effect. History: While Amy's mother, Kara, was safe about it, she was not choosy about her partners. Consequently, when Kara got pregnant no one batted an eye, though they did wonder who the father was. Most of Kara's partners came from the small circle of fellow traveling performers, but it was through a dalliance with another sort of traveler that Amy came to be. Amy's father, Ch't (used the name Chet while here), was always interested in Earth's Realm. Ch't too was a performer, a travelling musician. He and Kara met one night after a performance of his. Neither of them knew this was going to happen so he left without even saying good night. Oh he's been to Earth realm since then, but is none the wiser of his daughter. When Amy popped out she didn't look like Kara or any of the other performers. Still, the crew was tightknit and helped Kara with the child. Amy was a precocious child, always questioning everything. She was not hyperflexible like her mother, but she learned how to bend and stretch in various ways. Her friends were like family to her. As said, there wasn't much they did outside of the sideshow. Still, Amy always wondered about the outside world. What the people passing by were like. She got her chance to do a little bit of psychology when she was old enough to work a booth. She learned to shill with the best of them. Oh, her increasingly serene attractiveness was all part of the act - she hooked more boys and girls than others - but she also used her inquisitiveness too. It was almost like a complete interview with some people disguised as a game or attraction. She learned alot about people there. What they liked and wanted. Well at least immediately wanted. Still, it helped her form a view of the outside world she wanted to get into. It was around that time that she experienced movement when she was 14. It wasn't grandiose, but she stepped forward to one place and was already there. She saw a quick flash of gold and silver light and a sound that sounded sort of like "WAWM". She was shocked, but no one was around to see it. She chocked it up to be a hallucination. It wasn't until a while later, when EVERYONE could see that she did it again. It was no hallucination at that point. She was happy, yet baffled at the short jumps she could not control, but she wondered what the sound and light was about. The more she focused on it the more the uncontrolled jumping happened. So much so that she asked the owner if she could have her own side act. She didn't tell him or anyone else it was uncontrolled. She just said she thought about it and it happened, which was a half truth. The owner said that she'd have to do more than just move and show pretty lights. So she came up with an acrobatics act with her mother. When it came time for her first act, Amy was nervous. Kara gave her a little bit of advice when it came to performing. "Pretend that no one's there and think about what makes you happiest." Amy nodded, it was some help mentally, but it didn't help her focus on the act at hand. Ththough the advice did work, well, almost. She thought about a few different places they had been before. Then her mind wandered off to other countries she had see online. She always wanted to go to Japan to see the cherry blossoms. The act started and the two began their practiced work, Amy diasppeared! She was in Japan! It took a month before Amy could ever get the damn thing to work again. No matter how much she focused, there was just no going home. The first few nights she cried her eyes out. She slept on benches in the park. A kind family, the Akiyamas, took her in. They made her earn her keep, but she did have a place to lay her head. She eventually did reach her mother and family though the internet, but no one could go that far out of the way to come get her. They sent her some clothes and cash what they could, but the poor girl was stranded. Amy was just getting situated with the country, learning their language and connecting with its people. She thought of home one night and with a flash of light and a WAWM she was there. She still keeps in touch the Akiyamas to this day. Everyone was happy to see her and Amy was happy to see them. She felt more in control of her powers, but she tried not to think of them too much, she didn't want to disappear again. She kept the act doing short jumps mixed with acrobatics with her mother. Cut to a couple of years later when she was 16. Everyone enjoyed the show, but Amy was growing too big for her breeches. She had a healthy fixation with material things as mid-teens often do. She put two and two together and figured her powers could help her do that. She wasn't planning on being a supervillain, just knicking a few things and selling them for extra money. That didn't last long. For about a month she was fine and no one caught on. THEN she got in some major trouble. In London, she saw a nice small jewelry store in with some small things that would never be missed. She waited until nightfall when everything was closed and ported in. And then she couldn't move! This shop had more than an alarm system, it had a magical superperson on duty! The person called the cops and Amy was taken into juvenile justice for a string of crimes. Not just any juvenile justice system, one that worked with superpowered kids. She was put under a power dampener so she couldn't escape. It would be two years before she got out again when she was 18, but in those two years, she learned the meaning of being a good person and why villainy was a seriously bad thing. She learned to control her powers and use them better also. The big thing she learned though is that she was not human. Well, not partly human. She was investigated of her powers and it was found out that her father she never knew was from a race of immortal realm walkers. She wasn't just teleporting, she was moving through the realm between realms, the Cosmic Coil! After she got out, she went back home. Her mother and family glad to see her again. Though she wouldn't stay long. She explained to them the weight of her situation. She had great power, now she had to use them responsibly. And by responsibly, she meant for the forces of good. From then on she would travel travel the world to see where she could help out. A few years later she found Freedom City when she was 20. It was an auspicious start too! The Meta-Grue was on a rampage in s rundown part of town and no heroes were around. Only she was. She was the one that stood up to the villain. Little did she know that the Meta-Grue was a Freedom League caliber villain. She got thoroughly worked over, but she didn't stop protecting the people. By the time she was knocked out she saw the Freedom League arrive. When she woke up she was in Freedom League headquarters being attended to in the hospital. They had looked her records up and knew who she was. They offered her a favor for her heroic deed and the first thing she asked for was citizenship. After a few hushed whispers and a short meeting, they agreed to her favor on the terms that if she ever pulled any villain stunts that she would be forcefully deported. She agreed. Personality & Motivation: She is motivated by selflessness. She wants to be a hero because it's the right thing to do. In her incarceration she learned that there is more than just being a selfish twit. People needed their help and the way of the villain, while easy at first, eventually lead to destruction. She doesn't want to hurt herself or anyone else! She wants to help! Her personality has been affected by years of being a traveler. Everyone has a story to tell, she's found out. Each story is interesting at least a little bit. No one lives in a vacuum! She's a very talkative person that wants to know everything about the people she knows. She's a bit too forward. Some would say she gets into things she knows she shouldn't. She just wants to be helpful all she can. She's no wizened sage, but she'll give her advice and lend her help to anyone. She's a very friendly girl on top of all her insistence. She never has an unkind word to say about anyone, even her foes. Oh she's a bit passive aggressive with her taunts, but never outright mean. It's something she learned when she was working with the sideshow. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Powers & Tactics: With her inborn nature of "teleporting" she can be anywhere she wants or needs to be. Despite er long range capabilities, her fighting style incorporates close ranged combat. She teleports out of the way of blows and and uses her dimension walking abilities to send her opponents to different realms for a few short seconds. She can also use her dimension walking to clear a small area of mooks. Complications: Flickering: Being a relative child to her powers, she will experience a bit of movement at inopportune times. One Born Every Minute: While taking advantage of good people is beneath her, she sees her foes as rubes that it's ok to play every trick in the book on. On top of the more wary good guys not liking this type of chicanery, bad guys can trick her into believing they're more foolish than they are. Secret: Her identity as Sidestep.

trollthumper Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Looks good. A few minor quibbles: -Your Knockback should be listed as -5/-2 to reflect how it'd stand if your Protection got nullified. -I'm not entirely cool with a power having the descriptor "the realm of pain," especially on a hero. Seeing as it's Variable 2 [any energy], perhaps "the realm of creation" or "the realm of chaos" might work better? -You've got loose points on a few powers, such as Damage 12, Paralyze, and Nauseate. Improved Critical 2 might be a good investment in those cases.
Miss Rabbit Posted June 23, 2012 Author Posted June 23, 2012 Alright, changed the name to Realm of Creation because that makes sense Put Improved Critical 2 on all the attack power and noted the Knockback. Is good?
