[indent][color=6ecff6]PR Department: The only reason that tacticool bullshit got approved is because the kid's power has her taking a lot of punches upfront. It's ugly as hell, makes her look like she's a marine and a villain at the same time, but it protects her, so who cares what I think, right? They didn't even stop to think that the fucking NAME makes no sense. I mean- It fits her power, sure, but... I need a fucking raise."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]Engineering Department: Pretty damn easy stuff to work out, actually. Kevlar from head to toe, specially molded level 4 body armor and an accelerometer in the helmet. It was pretty badass watching Shattercrash punch through a piece of tank armor. Who cares what PR thinks? I like this one.[/color][/indent]

[color=FF00C2][b]Personality: [/b][/color] Brazen, disrespectful, defensive, and self-reliant are usually the words people use to described Evie. Some people navigate social dynamics with the precision of a scalpel, but she navigates them with the precision of a sledgehammer. Evie is often quick to write others off as undeserving of respect, and acts like she’s better than them when it comes to keeping Bridgewater safe. Based on her track record, it isn’t hard to see why she acts this way. Evie is used to solving problems alone, and therefore doesn’t usually play nice with others, giving her orders usually results in her following them begrudgingly, or not giving a damn because she thinks her idea is better. Trying to call her out on this usually doesn’t do much either, as Evie is prone to turning inwards and becoming more prickly under pressure. Evie was quickly placed in the care of a mandated PRT therapist to “correct” this behavior. Unfortunately, Evie went into it expecting the worst, so they haven't made any progress with her attitude, or addressing where it comes from.

It's easy for someone to expect her to not care about her status as a hero, or to have little regard for the unspoken rules between capes. Evie, however, has a reputation in the city that she feels justifies her arrogance. She doesn't just think she's better than the rest of these kids. From Evie's perspective, she [i]knows[/i] she is. She's quick to call others out on their mistake, and holds herself to that same standard as a perfectionist. Evie takes her "job" very seriously, and expects anyone else with a mask and a power to as well. Under this exterior, though, there's someone a bit gentler that most people don't see. Once someone actually gets to know Evie, they meet the side of her that cares for others, and wants to protect good people more than punish the bad ones. Her hard outer shell betrays a sort of tough love she doesn't get to show others enough.

[color=FF00C2][b]Power Classification: [/b][/color] Striker (Blaster, Mover)

[color=FF00C2][b]Power Description: [/b][/color] 

[color=ff00c2][b][u]Kinetic Powerhouse:[/u][/b][/color] Shattercrash’s power allows her to store kinetic energy from her surroundings and weaponize it for later use. Early observations of her power assumed that she was a Breaker with the ability to enter a state of being solely [i]composed[/i] of kinetic energy, but through the teeth-pulling process of testing her powers, it has been determined that she simply wields it. When Shattercrash manipulated the kinetic energy stored in her body, it becomes visible to human eyes, in the form of a bright violet-pink glow. This also means that it is tangible, and someone can “touch” the energy. 

Shattercrash applies this in a variety of forceful ways, the most notable of which involves punching something with the force of a speeding train, by amplifying her punches to a level that most Brutes would feel embarrassed by. She has also demonstrated, mostly through her independent days, that she can launch projectiles of kinetic energy with her power by throwing punches and kicks from a distance. Testing has shown that she can reliably hit a target from well over 30 feet away with this. This also allows her an impressive mover power that lets her leap well over 50 feet in any direction, and run at speeds clocked in at seventeen MPH. 

Shattercrash's power has also been observed providing her a degree of cover against impacts such as colliding with solid surfaces, or hitting the ground too hard. This was significant enough to warrant consideration for a Brute rating, but Shattercrash herself admits that this is simply a clever application of her abilities, and not an inherent part of their function. By enveloping herself in a sufficient amount of energy, she can cushion otherwise devastating blows, though this tends to result in more collateral damage for whatever she gets hit by.

[color=FF00C2][b]Strengths: [/b][/color]

	[color=ff00c2][b][u]Frontliner:[/u][/b][/color] It turns out that having a power that makes you punch like Superman means you should get good at punching. Shattercrash picked up boxing once in the weeks after her trigger event, so even when she's reigning herself in, she has a leg-up over the average shmuck on the street. She'll even throw down with the rest of the Wards from time to time. Evie is also pretty accustomed to moving around the city a lot, she's nimble, quick on her feet, and generally less reliant on her powers than someone would expect.

	[color=ff00c2][b][u]Resourceful:[/u][/b][/color] The first costume she made back in her solo days was so good that the PRT based her current one off of it. Evie is pretty creative and knows how to apply this to the real world. Out of bandages? Give her five minutes and she'll turn the backseat of a burning car into something to wrap a wound in. Did an Endbringer ransack your city? No problem! Evie knows how to cook food on a kerosene heater. One has to wonder how she knows these things, but are you really complaining when she keeps you warm?

[color=FF00C2][b]Weaknesses: [/b][/color] 

	[color=ff00c2][b][u]Raging Bull:[/u][/b][/color] Her cape name is Shattercrash, not Silentcrash. Evie's power is loud, flashy, and [i]explosive.[/i] She operates with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, meaning stealth is either entirely off the table where she's involved, or viable only because Evie is nerfing herself terribly. Under the cover of darkness, you will see Shattercrash use her powers long before she's in your face. 

	[color=ff00c2][b][u]Charisma Dump Stat:[/u][/b][/color] She's not good with people, period. Shattercrash's PR campaign is nonexistent. This kid does not belong on a talk show, or a negotiation mission, or basically anywhere that people are expected to kiss ass and be sickeningly polite. She will fuck those delicate situations up worse than you thought they could be fucked up.

[color=FF00C2][b]History: [/b][/color] Shattercrash stared up at the memorial of all the capes who died during the disaster. A pillar of stone commending them all for their bravery, and honoring their sacrifice. Metal plates engraved with their names were the last of their memories. Honestly, Evie found it to be a fucking joke. A bunch of names on a rock in the middle of town wasn't going to bring their precious Wards back. A fancy list of names and a bit of fanfare wasn't going to reunite families with their loved ones. It was a fucking [i]war[/i] fought. The heroes got their asses destroyed, and just barely made it out, and now they had this thing all pretty and shiny to immortalize it all. Did they really think this would make it all okay?

She looked down the list of names... A lot of them were from out of town, mostly Protectorate capes. But her eyes stopped when she got to one name in particular. Karnstein, a tinker who used her own blood as a resource to augment herself. Shattercrash knew her as Jasmin Kay. It wasn't fair. She tried so hard to be a hero even when she couldn't roll out of bed in the morning, and now she was dead. All because of a fucking bad guy that went off the deep end. Her mask started to fog on the inside, and she had to remind herself that it was on. 

They were going to leave the city together one day, before she went off and joined that stupid team, and now she was [i]dead.[/i]

And here she was, about to replace Karnstein in a few days. Evie's life was stabilizing a little. The Protectorate finally got their hands on her after they learned Jasmin had a secret relationship with her, and sniffed out their old meeting places one by one. They knew everything that Jasmin knew... Her dad being the reason she could punch with the force of a train, her homelife, her plan to run away and never look back. All of it. The fast one with the shock sticks just appeared on a roof behind her one evening, and almost got her head taken clean off with the punch to end all punches that day. They even knew that Jasmin wanted her to be a Ward too, but that she had her own reasons for not wanting to. But still, here she was, stopping on her way to their building for a government-mandated psychological evaluation. 

It seemed hollow to her. The only reason they gave a shit about recruiting Shattercrash was because she had been showing up take out bad guys well over a year before Confessor, and now they had a hook to finally convince her to become “legit.” They had essentially outed her, put her in a corner just so they could secure one more cape for their new team. 

Evie could pack up and run. She still had a couple hundred in cash from what Jasmin used to sneak away for her. She could’ve been halfway to Rhode Island by the time anyone important realized she wasn’t going to show up. But Jasmin might’ve been rolling in her grave if she knew that Evie wasn’t coming. Jasmin [i]loved[/i] the Wards. She thought she was doing a good thing by encouraging Evie. 

So for nothing else but her own feelings, Evie kept walking.
