Abby is an average-sized woman at about 5'5" and 137 pounds. She's not skinny, but she's not fat either, and certainly not muscular. She has medium-brown eyes, full lips that can often be found pressed into a smirk, and a petite nose. Her nose is pierced in the left nostril, although it can't be seen in her costume. Her hair is naturally a mousy brown but is bleached a platinum blonde and cut into a shoulder-length bob cut. She has fair skin that sunburns rather easily.

[color=1d7572][b]Personality:[/b][/color]
Abigail is what could easily be described as a "spoiled bitch". She's catty and [I]mean[/i], never one to miss out on a damaging joke at another's expense. She's unkind to friends, family, and foes alike; although she certainly knows when it's time to suck up or flatter someone. With that unkindness and flattery together, she finds it easy to wrap people around her little finger. Those she [I]can[/i], that is. When she runs into someone she can't manipulate or bully into giving her what she wants (which is often nowadays) she short-circuits, falling back on her base instincts. Fear and flattery. She has a tendency to be emotionally toxic to both friends and acquaintances and often has a self-important air about her. Not that she doesn’t have the potential to be a good friend and a caring person- she does, deep down, but most don’t get past the bitchy part of her. And why would you want to?

The belief that she is entitled to everything she wants permeates Abigail’s behavior. She really doesn’t like to be told no, which usually results in her temper coming out in full force. She’s not used to the idea that you have to work to get the things that you want, so she’ll often take the easiest route to get her way. With some caveats, of course- she won’t do anything she deems beneath her. Whether she has to circumvent the law or not doesn’t really matter to her, though. She tends not to let silly little things like the law get in her way. Or morality, for that matter, although she does have two rules for herself: no murder and no torture. That’s more out of a belated sense of obligation than any real compassion, though. They’re lines she’d be willing to cross if it came down to it, but not lines she’d be willing to cross casually. Unless if it would be in her best interest, of course- Abby is notoriously selfish, prioritizing herself above all others. She’s also quite vain, caring almost an excessive amount about her appearance. 

Although she might not sem it, Abby is an intelligent woman deep-down. She’s not too emotionally mature herself, but she knows how to work people until they give her exactly what she wants. She’s also got a good mind for strategy, although she’d [i]never[/i] say or admit that out loud. Way too nerdy for her. This has been a significant factor in why she hasn’t been caught as most amateur villains are- she instinctively knows how to maneuver herself and her clones to minimize risk. 

[color=1d7572][b]Backstory:[/b][/color]
Abby was born to a blessed, simple life. Her mother and father, Rachel and Jonathan Nielsen, were wealthy, influential members of their small farming town of Ashland, Nebraska. They owned a fairly expansive, profitable corn farm and ranch on the outskirts of town. Jonathan was the elected county sheriff and Rachel was the daughter of the wealthy owners of a corn farming enterprise. Neither had powers. Throughout her early childhood, Abby went to school, made friends, played piano, snuck makeup out of her parents’ bathroom- all normal things for a normal girl. She was rather popular in school throughout her years in Ashland and had a lot of friends. She was a bit of a bully, too, but her parents reasoned she would grow out of it with time. 

Abby got powers at a normal age, around 12 or so. They weren’t powerful, but they weren’t [i]weak[/i], either. The emergence of her powers shocked her family. They weren’t a superpower sort of family- they were all just normal, respectable people! And having 7 different Abigail’s wandering around the house wasn’t exactly normal or respectable. As much as Abby’s parents wouldn’t admit it, they were irked with their daughter’s abilities. Maybe a little scared, too. They didn’t like her powers, and Abby realized that. She started to resent her parents a little. The clones were [i]awesome[/i]. Couldn’t they see that? She’d make them see.

She started to act out around 13. She saw the scared looks when she cloned herself, the villains and heroes fighting on the TV screens, and it all triggered something inside of her. She started with shoplifting, ironically.  She didn’t need to steal, she had everything she could ever want at home, but it was easy to steal when you could just spawn another version of yourself, sit on a bench in the food court, and let the chaos play out. She realized she liked it. The risk and the adrenaline, the feeling of planning out the heist of a butterfly clip or a headband, felt amazing. So she escalated. Again and again and again. 

At 15, she was eventually caught and arrested for shoplifting an expensive ring from a JCPenney. But she could count on her father to pull some strings and get her out of trouble. No one wanted to arrest the sheriff’s daughter and face his wrath. She was arrested four more times before she was 18 but got out scot-free each time, although each time disappointing her parents further. All they wanted was to cover up her troublemaking nature and avoid any rumors, so her behavior went largely unpunished. 

Once she was 18, her parents were more than happy to ship her off to Castleburg for college. She attended UCNA for a time as an English major, her parents fully funding her education. If this meant they could get a troublesome burr out of their hair, so be it. Maybe Castleburg would even shape her up a bit. In Castleburg, Abby quickly realized that she could no longer get away with murder. That made her angry. She wasn’t stupid, and she could see how Castleburg treated superpowered criminals. Daddy wasn’t around to get her out of trouble anymore. In her sophomore year of college, Abby got into a fight with her roommate over some stolen food. If asked later, she would freely admit that she had stolen it- it was food in their shared fridge, and it looked good! Abby ended up punching her roommate in the face over this and broke her nose. Her roommate ultimately decided not to press charges, but she [i]was[/i] kicked out of UCNA. 

Abby had enough common sense to realize that she couldn’t just go crawling back home to Nebraska. Explaining to her parents that she had been expelled from university for assault would be shameful, and that shame was beneath her. She had good powers! Why not try to do something with that? She thought about applying for HERO but figured that it would be a waste of time. They wouldn’t want to hire her. At the end of the day, she was out of money. A bit of villain work would be her best bet. Not enough to get thrown in prison, but enough to get by. She certainly didn’t want to be a career villain. 

So, she started stealing. With her power, it wasn’t too hard to be an independent villain, and she started to make away with more and more money. She named herself Duplica. It was the only name she could come up with that didn’t sound completely stupid and that wasn’t already taken by some other, probably better, self-duplicating supervillain. So far, she hasn’t robbed too many places- mostly homes or stores in some of the various boroughs around town. She’s even taken a couple of lower-level, low-risk jobs from various villain agencies around town, but that’s not quite a regular thing. 

She’s been out on the streets for 3 months now. She’s inexperienced, but not completely new to the game. But she’s in over her head. Abigail won’t admit it to herself, but she is in way, [i]way[/i] over her head. She doesn’t know anything about gangs, or stealing, or crime. A month ago, the Brookside Bruisers caught her running a burglary in their territory and beat her so hard she was left bloody and bruised. Thankfully not [i]stabbed[/i], but they warned her that she would be if they caught her there again. And she believes them. Abby would go home, but… she can’t go crawling home now. Her parents don’t want her there. And she’s above grunt work in some sort of restaurant or community college. She can make it as a villain. Right?


[color=1d7572][b]Power:[/b][/color]
Abby has fairly standard self-duplication powers. While standing still, concentrating, and with a little bit of space, she can generate copies of herself. They’re solid, squishy, and realistic replicas of Abigail. They’re not complete replicas, though. If someone were to stab one of them, they wouldn’t find blood and bone. They’d find a strange blue goo, and that the clone would hardly feel any pain as it was stabbed. It would just keep going. They’re as strong as her and as fast as her, but not nearly as smart. Most of her clones are only able to form monosyllabic grunts and words on their own, barely able to tie phrases together. They only speak on request by Abigail. If left on their own, they’ll most likely charge their opponents without a care for safety or strategy. As far as Abigail can tell, they don’t think. They’re just empty husks that look like her. But they do listen to her! The vast majority of her clones follow her orders without even a second of hesitation. 

She can create up to 18 clones safely at a time, she’s found. After that… well, things get weird. The quality of her clones deteriorates as she summons more. The first clone she summons might be able to speak, listen, and report back. But by number 10, her clones start to lose fingers, toes. Even an arm once at 16. Their faces get messed up, their bone structures twist and grow. Once, at clone #19, she created a clone without any legs or arms and a twisted face- just a torso. But the problem isn’t the ones missing parts. The problem is the ones who don’t [i]listen[/i]. She’s created three of what she terms as “psycho clones”. Their faces are warped, their bodies missing pieces, but they’re smart. Too smart. Once she gets past clone 18, the chance of accidentally creating a psycho clone grows. And those things are bloodthirsty. The only thing that’ll stop them from killing (preferably Abigail) is a bullet to the brain. This aspect of her power freaks her out, but she’s always trying to grow her clone capacity. If she just concentrates a bit more, she knows she can do it.

[@Hitman] I hate her so much. Here's my villain C: Affiliation is left blank on purpose, she's meant as a part of a team currently in development. Most details aren't completely solid, I might go back and edit a bit later.
