Lacuna

Lacuna

Chris Jameson was the victim of a violent inner city crime when he was 8 years old, during which his parents were killed in a botched home robbery. They only stole the TV, which was found two miles down the road, chucked in a ditch. Chris is haunted by that memory. Fear drove him for the next ten years, causing him to board up his room and walk with paranoid mistrust every day. It is a burden he’s carried through counselling sessions, juvenile crime, the manifestation of his Empowered Abilities and beyond. Generally bad with people, Chris doesn’t fit in with other kids his age. He has no friends either in or outside of school and is particularly clumsy around women. For him, friends are a distraction: he doesn’t see the use in pretending to laugh, or enjoy being around people who can’t possibly understand what he’s going through. When he manifested Empowered Abilities, he took the name Lacuna and started to exact deadly and brutal revenge for his parents on every violent criminal he could find. He believed that this is the way to stop his nightmares: in Lacuna’s eyes, beating up bad guys wasn’t about saving the innocent; it was a continuing series of retributions. He never doubted this course for a moment… until he met Penumbra.

Blue-Shift

Blue-Shift

Blue-Shift is a speedster, but her life is far from easy. Beth Sanders has recently moved to a new city, away from her family and friends: the only way to be sure she wouldn’t be recognised as Blue-Shift after discovering her Empowered Abilities. She’s isolated and alone, so it’s only natural she should look for someone to spend time with... After meeting someone online, they agreed to have a meal together in real life and get to know each other. When Beth arrived, however, someone else was there... someone who claimed to be just passing through, before disappearing into a pool of shadows without a trace. Saddened and feeling more isolated than ever, Beth decided to roam the streets as Blue-Shift. When she found a bank robbery in progress, she met her first set of Empowered criminals: Shira and Daniel. During the course of stopping the robbery, she was seriously injured. That’s when the criminals did something Beth could never have predicted: they saved her from the police and took her to their home. When she had recovered enough to leave, she realised how much of a risk they had taken... and how much she now had to trust them because they knew her secret. Her enemies had become some sort of allies...

Viola is a top-of-her-class student, studying mythology at a university near her parents’ home. Their close relationship kept her going when she discovered that she was an Empowered. She couldn’t tell them the whole truth, but she still visits them regularly. She has endured many hardships coming to terms with her new reality. However, she has found purpose in protecting her city from criminals as the masked hero Violete. For several weeks, everything went well: she lent her Empowered identity a unique and memorable look with her dramatic flare and love of cosplay, and using her Empowered Abilities of flight and super strength allowed her to overcome any criminal she encountered. She continued to split her time between her parents and her education, all the while fighting to protect her city and avoiding the police. Violete is a friendly individual, who loves to cosplay and participate in geek culture in general in her home city. She’s also close to her parents, visiting them often for meals and spending her off days with them. Over the short time she has been operating, law enforcement authorities have been embarrassed by her activities, particularly by her stopping of criminals and leaving them restrained just in time for officers to find. While some individuals welcomed the help, others take a dim view of her actions. As a result, an arrest warrant has been put out for her. She never expected it to be acted on but then again, she could never have foreseen Rampage, either…
