City of Heroes

My characters from the on-line multiplayer role-playing game (Which I'm very addicted to it seems) Some are heroes, and of course villains. You'll be seeing a lot more of them soon I hope.

Tsurara

Name: Motoko Miyagawa aka Tsurara (Japanese for Icicle) Origin: Mutation Gender: Female Age: 19 Height: 5’ 2” Weight: Not telling! Place of birth: Tokyo, Japan

Background: Nothing seemed special when Motoko Miyagawa was born 19 years ago; it was an ordinary birth in a city of millions. She was raised, went to school, found friends, shopped, and assisted her mother with the house, nothing special. Until after her fifteenth that is, when desiring that her soda would be a little colder, the girl was shocked to suddenly discover the glass encased in ice. For the next few years she hid that patches of ice would form around objects around her, always stashing the odd glass, pen, book into the folds of her clothes, behind the closest chair, dresser. Having a little knowledge due to the fame of Paragon City she understood that she was a mutant.

Yet the idea did not frighten her, it excited her, but she also knew that she could never understand her powers unless she went to a place where she knew to find others like herself, Paragon City. But how to get from Tokyo to Paragon City was her problem, along with how to talk to the cities hero’s? The only solution she could think of was school. With renewed vigor she threw herself into education, along with classes heavy in learning English with the idea of earning a rare overseas scholarship to Paragon. It was not an easy path as she worked on her fledgling powers in secret, until she could throw bolts of ice, and hold an object surrounded by a sea of frozen water. At last, after completing her first year of junior collage, and much dialogue with sponsors, that she earned her scholarship to Paragon City University. Now in Paragon City, she used her limited funds at Icon for her first costume, and with time between school and finding any hero that will help train her in her powers, Tsurara hopes to make her mark upon the city.

Jemmina

Name: Jemmina
Origin: Magic
Gender: Female
Age: 2332 years old, give or take a century.
Description: 4’ 6” Gray skin, with red top knot, lavender glowing eyes, and a pair of horns.

Back-story: Born in 327 BC, The warrior woman known as Jemmina, named after a wise woman of old, had come to love the call of battle, and willingly swam in an ocean of red as her victims fell before her. For she was born of a raiding tribe that took goods, food and most of all slaves. For Jemmina didn’t care if it was men, women, of the more valuable children, and so no one mourned when at last she fell in battle. And it was not a surprise that when she awoke after that fateful day, her spirit now rested in the underworld, and it was there that what she had bestowed upon the living, she now received in death, a plaything for demons.

For a thousand years she was used, defiled and humiliated by an endless stream of fiends, as her body took on the darkness that fed the lower regions. Until at last she came into her own power, those that had recently defiled her received the first of her vengeful wrath, for another thousand years Jemmina hunted, killed and tortured those that had used her, until the day came that the Lord of the Underworld summoned her to him.

There, for a short time the Lord used her like the demons of old, daring her to rise against him, but she knew herself to be far too weak to revenge herself. So that once the Lord saw her submission, he told her a tale of an army of demons that had fled his rule, fled back to the surface world in a place called Paragon City. There they had taken over a host of humans, and lived within their now vacate shells. He then commanded her to go to this Paragon City and find the escaped demons and send them back to him for punishment. In return, she’ll receive a small corner of the Kingdom of hell to rule in his name.

Gladly accepting the task of her lord, Jemmina returned to earth, still in her dark form, but upon arrival she found that many of her powers of the underworld were gone. Now she builds new powers on the surface world, while finding the fugitive fiends in their dead host, and by ripping their black hearts from their chests, returns them back to her lord for justice. Yet, to do that she must follow the ways of the surface world, while she cares little for the humans that populate the plane of light, fighting against them and the runaway demons would take too much time. So she counts herself as a so called hero, hunting for her prey that hides within the gangs terrorizing the city.

Personality Traits: Jemmina whole task is to find the demons that escaped from hell and return them to her lord. It is because of this task that she helps the people of Paragon City, while she may not care for the people, she understands with all the police and hero’s about, that by joining those that help, is she giving more ease to herself in her mission. She’s selfish, cruel, manipulative and out for herself. Yet she will follow the ways of the hero’s of Paragon because the prey that she hunts has disguised themselves among those terrorizing the city. The Outcast, Circle of Thorn, Skulls, Council, all have demons in their faction, and what better way to hunt them down than to join forces with their enemies.

Powers: Jemmina body host the dark magic’s of the underworld, any in time is learning to use them in the lands of the light. Slowly the small demoness is becoming stronger
