Elibhe “Elly” Francis-Thrift (formally the superhero Jammer) is super strong when she’s in pain, which makes her a C-lister by necessity. Despite being too vulnerable at the start of a fight to wade in, Elly never gives up, which is probably the attribute that’s got her into the most trouble at the start of Starfall. At 29, freshly widowed, Elly just became the prime suspect in her husband’s brutal murder. Running from arrest doesn’t help much, but how else is she going to clear her name when the evidence leads back to her fists?
Violet “Vi” Cowan is the daughter of a South Korean rock star and an American auto mechanic. She's human and, aside from a bit of occult dabbling, out of her league in the tights and flights community. Since …show more content…
Her origin story began on the banks of a river that no longer flows, as a ragged cry escaping a choking child, and ends engulfed in light and purpose. Thousands of years old, battle-ready, she’s driven into Elly's path by presidential mandate and the guiding hand of a celestial being far older than even herself. She has a long, unhappy memory, many strengths, few weaknesses, and her limits are completely untested.
A loser in perpetuity, Bad Rock can only look to the horizon, wary of the next danger, hoping that it is, at the very least, its passing will be less humiliating. Bad was an actor-turned-armed robber-turned-would-be-kidnapper, then convict, and is now a barman in a sty outside Starfall City limits. When he isn't serving drinks to psychopaths and amoral opportunists, trying to make amends for his past misdeeds, Bad has designated himself "Helicopter Mom", looking after the groupies and fledgling super villains that show up at the Lost & Foundry bright-eyed and likely to have their peepers gouged out if they're not careful. He has no super powers, a bad attitude, and a vast and problematic T-shirt …show more content…
Nightstrike III, the guy doggedly pursuing Elibhe. Simon didn’t grieve overmuch for his aforementioned dead brother, but a lawman is as a lawman does and Simon’s leading the president’s new antihero peace keeping force. Rather than relying on gadgetry to augment his base humanity, years ago, Simon matched wits with something in the dark and enslaved it to his will. Or so he hopes. In Chapter 1: Simon let the demon out to stretch while threatening Elly, then smiled nauseatingly for the cameras while debuting his new all-white look. His jackbooted threat is real and he's coming hard for our hero.
Solomon Francis-Thift a.k.a. Nightstrike II, the second to bear the name, was a great guy on paper and a brilliant inventor. Then things got complicated. Like Jacob Marley, he’s dead to begin with. In Chapter 1: Solomon's body isn't yet cold and already ultimatums have been declared and action is stoking the flames of story. It's very unlikely Elly's stalwart husband will returning from the beyond, so this paragraph needn't expand overmuch.
