spin_kick_snapNew girl gets her own, but it's gonna take longer and I need something I can point at and say, "I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED A THING!"
Y'all know those days.
So, the old crew!
Kathy Li, (she/her)
Ex-Heroes | Ex-Pat | 21 years old
*PB is Min-Kyung of the K-pop band Davichi.
*Used to go by the moniker Banzai, back during her superheroing days.
*Is about 3 times faster than your baseline human, bounces around like - well, see the cut text quote, has perfect balance, and a metabolism that's about as fast as she is.
*Alumni of Fandom High, class of 2016. Would have been valedictorian.
*Graduated (technically), but didn't walk, as she wasn't on the island. Or among the living.
*Returned to Los Angeles along with roomie and best friend,tigerundercover in spring of '16 to help the rest of LA's superheroes combat the rising tide of the living dead.
*...Didn't do so well. Was the first to fall. Got back up again and wandered around LA for a year as a zombie. Has a tattoo with seven tally marks on her inner left wrist; one for each person she personally killed while undead.
*Was rescued when Raven personally walked across the country to bring Fandom folk back to LA to fix her. She found Kathy's little sister-of-the-heart,thatoldsaying who made a wish to bring her back to life. A group of people were dispatched to bring her (very bitey) body back home and voila! We have a living girl again.
*Is the adopted daughter ofvdistinctive. It's official and legal and everything!
*Has now gone through two different parts of canon, though probably won't do anymore. Though odds are good some folks from LA will be seen again.
*Is more than a little fucked up by everything that happened in LA (both times). But, unlike the rest of you reprobates, is actively getting therapy.
*Has a therapy dog, Ronin, who is indeed, the Goodest Boy.
*Lives in Limbo City with her boyfriends,rebelseekspizza and not_every_mage.
*Also spends a lot of time botheringsmilestopscars and trying to catch him reading books.
*Owns Dite's Decadent Delights, which is absolutely hiring!
*Went from having her whole life planned out to having no idea what she's doing next, but every day, she's a little more solid than before.

Verity Alice Price, (she/her)
Incryptid | Teacher | 23 years old
*PB is Yvonne Strahovski
*Is from a world where cryptids are real and have mostly been pushed to extinction, what humanity being what it is. That encompasses stuff like 'deforestation' and 'habitat destruction,' but also things like the Covenant of St. George who believe they have a mission from God to actively exterminate the 'unnatural.'
*Comes from a family of cryptozoologists, who try to help and protect cryptids, as well as learning as much as possible about their biology and communities. This is complicated by the fact that both sides of her family, the Prices and the Healys, were members of the Covenant until 5 (or 3) generations ago. And were really, really good at what they did. Which was killing cryptids. Oops.
*Because of this family profession, her childhood was deeply weird. Look paramilitary quasi-fanatics don't train themselves!
*Because of said upbringing, is rarely unarmed and never more than an arm's reach away from a weapon unless something has gone Very Poorly. Is proficient in many, many many weapons.
*Has earned a little leeway in the cryptid community by discovering the first male dragon seen in centuries under Baltimore and stopping a Covenant purge of the city, with the help of her love,firstofitskind.
*Is also a semi-famous Argentinian tango dancer, under the false identity of Valerie Pryor. Came in second on the hit TV show, Dance or Die.
*Has reluctantly given up her dream of being a professional tango star, as it really doesn't fit in with a life of cryptozoology.
*...Is not quite as done with dance as she thinks she is.
*Comes with a colony of Aeslin mice who worship her as the Arboreal Priestess. Liam has recently been inducted into the fold as the God of Distant Stars.
*Learned how to Speak in Capitals from the mice.
*Needs to start having Girl Nights with the Ladies Axe Brigade on the island (other weapons welcome).
*Has some Important Plans coming up.

Alec Hardison, (he/him)
Leverage | Ex-Pat | 32 years old
*PB is Aldis Hodge
*Recently married the loves of his life,whoisalicewhite and vdistinctive and are currently sailing around on an extended honeymoon, stopping crime and triumphing over corporate evil.
*Is still a world-class thief, hacker, and tech genius. Does all the usual hacker stuff of making IDs, scrubbing data, designing the team's tech, crafting various robots and EMT blasters, hacking electronic locks, disarming bombs, manipulating the stock market to make them ridiculous amounts of money, building a version of the Danger Room.
*Hacked the Pentagon at twelve, started sending himself to the Oscars at fifteen, and skipped his senior prom to hack into the Bank of Iceland to pay off his Nana's medical bills.
*Is also a violin prodigy and excels at various arts, including painting, sculpting, antique book-binding, etc.
**Conversely, he has dreadful aim, overplays even the simplest grift, has claustrophobia, germophobia, and a fear of heights. Somehow, this does not stop his husband and wife from pushing him off of very high things.
*Grew up in the foster system until he was taken in and adopted by Nana, along with multiple other foster siblings.
*Will always have a TA intigerundercover and a new apprentice hacker in bookbeltof_love, who deserves a call soon.
*Is basically a giant teddy bear and is the only one of the trio with decent social skills and emotional intelligence.
*Chicago-style pizza and hot dogs stan and will fight people over it, THAT'S RIGHT STEVE.
*Techbros and Steve-Troller withimafuturist. Theirs is a robot-love that will never die.
*Has started keeping a look out for a little boy named Spike they've had come visit for a few proms running.
*Is just so happy right now, y'all. So, so happy.

Hyacinthe, (he/him)
Kushiel's Legacy | Alumni | 19 years old
*PB is Avan Jogia
*Graduated from Fandom High, Class of 2018. Definitely not the valedictorian.
*Is from a land called Terre D'Ange, which is fantasy France from about 1000 AD and populated by people descended from actual angels.
*D'Angelline on his unknown father's side, from his mother, he is Tsingano, (aka Romani), but raised in the City of Elua.
*Has a fierce yearning to know his mother's people and be accepted by them.
*Grandiosely calls himself the Prince of Travellers, but actually is a prince of his people. Which means he's technically an angel-blooded prince, lolololol. This is one of the least ridiculous things about this canon.
*Has kind of a huge chip on his shoulder about that; also about how Tsingano are treated in Terre D'Ange as a whole.
*Grew up in grinding poverty. His mother takes in washing, he tells fortunes, but has big dreams.
*Said fortunes are true. He has the dromonde, the ability to part the mists of time and see the Lungo Drom.
*This is vrajna, forbidden by the Tsingano. Men cannot use the dromonde, only women.
*Has spent the year after graduation traveling withboneyard_girl's family carnival around the Midwest and wooing sampippy from afar.
*Is generally polyamorous and pansexual. Why limit yourself? Or, as the Blessed Elua said, love as thou wilt.
*Alas, must return to Terre D'Ange before much longer.
*Is far too pretty for what canon has in store for him.
*Blame Phèdre nó Delaunay for everything. I do.

Karla di Glacia, (she/her)
Black Jewels | Alumni | 31 years old
*PB Elisabeth Harnois
*My original app! Fandom High graduate, Class of 2013, OH MY GOD.
*From my most ridiculous canon, which has included a porn comic and the Descendants movies. There are magic cock-rings, y'all.
*Time moves at double-speed so she's 31 now, dear god.
*I'm not even going to think about what age that puts her kids, of which there are 4: 2 adopted (Cora and Nyles) and two genetic (Kayla andNommy Colin)
*Is apparently just never going to go through the last bits of canon and that is OKAY.
*Still ruling Glacia with Warren as her Consort and Raven as her Healer.
*One of the only three triply-aspected witches in Blood history: she is a natural Healer, Black Widow, and Queen.
*Fought a civil war to take her Territory back from her uncle and the puppet-Queen he'd installed there. Doesn't like to talk about it much.
*Was just an awful marionette in the most recent BDE so she's sorta hanging low for a little while as far as visits to the island go.
*Look, I just love her a lot, okay?

Nuance, (she/her)
IRL | The mun | 317 years old
*An adult only by technicality
*Am probably off larping
*Or yelling about race, feminism, and politics on Twitter
*Or dealing with my surreal trainwreck of a real life which, this summer alone, involved random surgeries and being stalked by a squatter.
*But is still mostly nice despite all of the nonsense!
*Though my house is names Sass Central, so like..."nice" might be more accurate
*East Coast is best coast
*Still don't have a proper bedtime, but my day job generally insists that I sleep at night.
*This is a cruel turn of events.
*shadowravyn on Twitter, booksomewench on Discord, I routinely play in SP these days but I'm an endurance pinger!
*Simultaneously never tired but also in need of a nap.
Y'all know those days.
