Name: Heidi Williams

Alias: Shock

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Appearance: Heidi is tall for a girl her age, with an athletic, muscular build. She has a rather square, handsome freckle-covered face when she's not in makeup. Her naturally jet back hair was dyed blonde for her role as Shock, but in the months since, her dark roots have been growing out. Heidi's casual dress sense is rather butch. She wears cargo pants, boots or sneakers. She wears a variety of light t-shirts underneath an embroidered [url=https://www.jdwilliams.co.uk/i/4d1ed9d30c724739/original/e01pq257105a.jpg?im=Resize=1160&impolicy=pdp]jacket.[/url]

Her costume, which she was allowed to keep as a personal effect, was designed to work in tandem with her power. The entire outfit is a full bodysuit made of layers of different polymers that make it as touch as a standard bulletproof vest, as well as fully insulated from electricity, preventing her vitals from suffering any damage from potential blowback of her powers. Her gauntlet alone are metal and designed to conduct electricity. The colour palette of the costume is red and gold, and the costume was designed with a military flare in mind yet form-hugging for a little hint of sex appeal.

Superpower: Heidi was born with the ability to absorb, emit, and manipulate electricity. After having spend over half her life training and experimenting with this power, she has grown both creative and quite powerful. Her biggest weakness is that she herself isn't impervious to electric shocks so water is a bad mix and she generally tries to avoid it.

Skills:  Heidi is trained in several types of mixed martial arts, escape arts, guerrilla warfare, military and firearms training, and can drive most common vehicles to a professional standard.

Equipment: The belt on her costume contains two all-metal billy clubs. When not in costume she carries a set of knuckles just in case.

Personality: Heidi has become a rather bitter person. Years of being judged and criticized for just doing the role that was assigned to her has resulted in a rather warped perspective and a lack of trust in the people around her. She is very quick to snap and holds strangers at a distance until she gets to know and trust them enough to let her walls down. But the moment she's in costume and eyes are on her, she slips into her loud, corny, gung-ho action hero persona like it's second nature. She truly loves being a Hero. But her persona used to merely be a heightened version of her real self until her real self became increasingly jaded and scarred. Now her persona is purely a performance. An impression of her old self from back when life was simple. When she was the good guy against the bad guys.

Biography:  Heidi was an aimless high school dropout who volunteered for a military program when she just fifteen. Her relationship with her parents was always rocky but the day she moved out was the last time she talked to them. She was born with her superpower, but the most it could do was short out a smartphone. She was paired with a fellow volunteer named Madison Weaver who had the power to turn her body into steel wire. The two of them were worked to the bone together, and by the time they were both eighteen years old, they were considered ready for field assignments. But why they fought military targets, their real job was to be poster girls. They went by the monikers of 'Shock' and 'Awe' and appeared on many TV shows, sponsored advertisements and army recruitment campaigns together.

This lucrative career lasted several years until a few months ago when Madison was killed in action. Something in Heidi broke. Suffering from grief, P.T.S.D, and disillusionment, she quit the military and was formally discharged. She didn't know what to do with her life now, and began floating between jobs which typically only ever lasted until her current boss recognised her. Even Vet spaces didn't take kindly to her. Some of them even knew dead young men who had joined because of her work.

With the Guardians of Earth recruiting new Heroes, Heidi put her all into applying. The way she saw it, this was the last avenue available to her. Her last chance to do something noble worthwhile before considering going back to the military. Or less desirable; truly swallowing her pride and tracking down her parents.
