They are both trained in the use of firearms and hand to hand combat. Misty is a veteran NYPD detective, where as Adrian is an ex-district attorney. Both are experts in investigative procedure. [b]Origin And Backstory (In A Maximum Of Four Paragraphs):[/b] Adrian Chase was born into privilege. The youngest child of a wealthy Connecticut family, Adrian's early life was filled with nannies, boarding schools, and lacrosse matches. Misty Knight, meanwhile, was the daughter of the streets of Harlem. Chase attended six-figure prep schools while Knight attended P.S. 221. Adrian attended Yale and Yale Law. With no money for college, Misty joined the NYPD. After handing everything to him, Adrian's father demanded that he actually earn a spot in the law firm of Chase, Prescott, & Zucker. Using family connections, Adrian became a prosecutor for the New York District Attorney's Office. On the streets of Harlem, Officer Misty Knight gained a reputation as one of the best patrol officers in the city. She soon found herself a detective in charge of her own Drug Enforcement Unit. Her four-man unit began to come in contact with more and more potent forms of heroin. Snitches on the street were saying that a new dealer was in town, muscling out the black and latino gangs that usually controlled Harlem's drug trade. After a few years of prosecuting low-level drug offenders, Adrian became a prosecutor for the PAB, the Professional Accountability Bureau, partnering with Internal Affairs to investigate and prosecute corrupt cops. A name came on his desk that would change his life: Detective Misty Knight. Accused of skimming drugs and money, Adrian and his chief investigator, Sgt. Rafael Scarfe, began to look into Knight. Based on just the evidence that had been collected by Scarfe, ADA Chase filed a recommendation that Knight be dismissed from the NYPD and arrested. Politics got in the way and Knight, proclaiming her innocence, refused to cooperate with the PAB's investigation. To make things go smoother, NYPD command simply fired Misty without charging her. Two months after the case, Misty broke into Adrian's home and held him at gunpoint. She was innocent and Adrian had fucked up the case. After a fight between the two ended with Adrian getting a bloody nose, Misty explained the truth: She had done her own investigation and proved that the evidence the PAB had on her had been fabricated. Only one man would be able to do that: Scarfe. Chase and Knight confronted Scarfe. After trying to escape, Knight chased him down and forced him to talk. He'd been paid money by someone to frame her. After getting Scarfe to agree to testify to the information, Adrian took the information to the NYPD and requested that Knight be brought back into the NYPD. But before anything official could be done, Scarfe was killed in a seemingly random drive-by-shooting. Their proof died with Scarfe and the NYPD would not agree to bring Misty back. Disgusted, Adrian quit the DA's office. His father had been paying attention of the case and he saw his son's maturity and conviction. He finally offered his son a spot at his law firm. But Adrian turned him down. Instead, he opened her own business with Misty Knight. Now the two operate the shoestring law firm/private detective agency as best as they can while working to unravel the mystery of who had hired Scarfe. Although they are two very different people from two very different backgrounds, they have one common goal: justice. [b]What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?:[/b] For starters, it's teaming up two characters from different companies. Adrian Chase isn't Vigilante in this game. Misty is pretty much the same. She doesn't have her robot arm just yet, but we'll see. Tone wise, I'm shooting for those mismatched partners type mystery movies and shows that were all the rage in the 70's and 80's. Think something like [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDhz_mVcVCQ]Simon & Simon.[/url] Adrian has to learn how to be a better person while Misty has to learn to not let that rage and need for payback control her life.
