《 H. E. R. O. 》

Brie apprehensively followed Powers as he led her into a room at the back of the auditorium. "Sir, I really can ex-..." She immediately continued when the door shut behind them, before he spoke up and told her that she was infact not fired. "Oh..." She paused, her brows knitted in sudden confusion. As he began to explain, Brie nodded along, looking like one of those stupid animal figurines that you put in the back of a car, with their heads jostling around over every pot hole.

"Gugliano...I've heard of him. Isn't he the one that took down the rhino in Brookside Zoo that one time?" She pondered to herself as he brought up the Mafia boss, before realising that she should probably still be listening. Her face dropped at the mention of missing heroes. That could not be good news, especially around Brookside. From her experience, people who disappeared either came back in a worse state or not at all. He didn't pause to explain further though, so Brie was obliged to simply continue listening, despite the multitude of questions that were popping into her head.

"Against my better judgement, I'm putting you in charge of this secret operation."

"You're what now?" Brie did a double-take when he suddenly announced that she was in charge of the mission. She must have heard him wrong. There were many heroes in the organisation who would have relished in such an opportunity but Brie just looked plain baffled. The young hero supposed it did make sense why he wouldn't want one of the more high profile heroes leading this. After all, levelling a building or causing millions of dollars of damage didn't exactly scream covert. Whilst her powers didn't cause major damage and whilst she tried to avoid the limelight at all costs, she still would never have expected him to choose herself.

Powers carried on, explaining what she needed to do and more importantly, not to go blabbing to everyone. She frowned a little when he mentioned about her knowing criminals, opening her mouth to protest before she realised there was probably little use in denying it. HERO One knew everything after all.

"Of course, sir. You can trust me, I promise I won't mess this up!" She replied earnestly, clutching the file protectively between her arms. She was sure that it was strange to see her being serious but she knew this world well, and the thought of what might have happened to those two heroes truly scared her. Plus, besides being given a job at HERO One, no-one had ever given a chance like this. The idea that someone actually trusted her made her nervous...but also kind of happy. Watching as Powers left the room, she idly mused to herself about how he would look in a beret. Maybe he'd bring one back from France...

When he'd gone Brie leaned against one of the large boxes that were dotted around the room, basking in the buzz of electricity that filled the air. She figured that she should wait a few minutes before heading out of the auditorium, not really wanting to risk running into other heroes and their likely questions. Speaking of...she should probably think of a reasonable excuse for why Powers had wanted to talk to her, something that they wouldn't push her to discuss.

After a few minutes of thought Brie looked at her wrist, and realising that she never wore a watch, figured that enough time had probably passed. Peering out of the door, she looked around the auditorium to see that most of the audience had left, except for a couple of the creepy ICOSA agents. She really did not like them after that time in Powers' office. Hopefully, they wouldn't be hanging around Hero One for too long. Trying to casually stroll down the length of the auditorium (it being slightly unnerving when they wore sunglasses...you couldn't see where they were looking), she opened the doors in relief, to then nearly walk straight into William.

Damn it.

"Jesus Will, you scared me..." Brie grumbled, holding the manila folder behind her back in what was probably a far too obvious attempt to hide it. She would've brought a bag if she'd realised that Powers was going to send her on some crazy spy mission. "What are you doing here?" It probably came out more abruptly than she'd intended but she really hadn't wanted to have to speak to anyone. Or lie to anyone, as the case may be. Impatiently chewing on her lip as she waited for him to answer, she noticed a slight movement from the ceiling. "You too Rees." She called up to her floating friend.

《 H. E. R. O. 》

“Shit...” Brie muttered to herself as she approached the auditorium, seeing no one else around. She’d somehow slept through her alarm and was now ten minutes late, despite living in the damn building. Having hastily thrown on some joggers and a hoody, she definitely had that rolled out of bed look down, though not in a good way. She quietly attempted to open the door, looking round the back few rows for a free seat. Unfortunately, the place was packed and she had to squeeze past half a row of people to sit down.

“Whoops, excuse me...” She whispered, “Sorry about that - didn’t mean to step on your foot!” Brie eventually managed to get herself seated, just in time for the start of Powers’ presentation. She fidgeted for a few moments (the chairs were super uncomfortable), before someone in the row infront turned to glare at her. “Geez, just getting comfy...” She muttered under her breath, childishly sticking out her tongue at them.

Running her fingers through her hair, she listened as he begun to speak. It wasn’t the most thrilling of presentations (at least in Brie’s opinion) and she had begun to doze off, managing to hear something about ICOSA and infrastructural damages, when suddenly she heard her name. Everyone in the rows nearby turned to look at her as she was mentioned, a chorus of ‘oohs’ passing through the room. Brie sunk in her seat a little, idly chewing on a nail as she tried to wrack her brain for what she had done wrong. She’d been pretty well behaved recently, at least for the past week, and she couldn’t think what he could be calling her up for. Maybe it was that stray cat she’d tried to sneak in the other week. Or maybe he’d just decided to fire her, figured she was too much of a pain in the ass to deal with.

”Looks like Brooksides in trouble!” The hero who had been sat next to her sneered as they stood up, Powers now being done with his speech. Brie shot him a glare, trying to recall who he was. His power was boring anyway...something about being able to grow gills underwater.

“No way! He’s clearly just wanting to thank me for being such an exemplar hero.” Brie replied as she pushed him out of the way, slowly trudging up to the front of the auditorium. As she walked, having adopted an excruciatingly slow pace to delay the inevitable, she shot wary glances at the Men in Black, wondering why a gathering of heros would need what she presumed to be security. Strange...

”Nice suit, sir.” She said as she approached him, smiling gingerly. “And can I just say that...it wasn’t my fault! And it was all just a big misunderstanding!” Brie began to reel off every excuse in the book, figuring that one of them might help her. “You’ve got the wrong person!” She continued, barely giving him a moment in which to respond.

《 H. E. R. O. 》

It took everything in Brie not to zap Joseph where he stood when he called her an alcoholic. What an idiot. And what were they even doing here? This was such a waste of time. She didn’t realise that Joseph had driven all the way over to Starbright just to start insulting him. And there was a damn villain as well!

She stood there, hand crackling with the buzz of electricity as she followed Skylars movements. Now she was going to have to actually put effort into fighting today. All she wanted to do was nap...

Brie raised her hand to attack when the woman began screaming, not at the heros, but seemingly at herself. She paused, unsure what to do, when suddenly the villain disappeared in a flash of smoke. Glancing around, she waited for a few moments to see if it was a trap, before deciding that the coast was clear.

“Thanks for the lift.” Brie shouted over to Joseph as she begun to walk away from the small group of heroes, figuring that Ava was in safe hands. “I’m off to find some Ambleweeds.”

Brie wandered around, following the path of destruction and plant matter, until she eventually spotted some Ambleweeds in the distance. “Finally.” She muttered to herself as she rubbed her hands together, sparks cracking in the air around here. That was one good thing about her power...it did really help her feel more awake.

An ambleweed approached her, launching a nearby trash can into the air. Brie held out her hands in front of her, the currents of electricity quickly forming a shield that surrounded her, the can crashing into it with a loud buzz. Feeding off the streetlights around her, she shot a bolt of electricity towards a couple of the overgrown plants, frying the things instantly. Easy enough.

“Where to next...” She pondered as she looked around the now empty and slightly eery street. She supposed all of the civilians must have run away by this point, and she hadn’t come across any more of her fellow heros. Speeding up her pace, she began to follow the overgrowth as it became denser, figuring that it was likely to lead her to more Ambleweeds. Or maybe she could go back to HERO one early...

Date of Birth

Physique
Standing at exactly 6ft tall, Wyatt is not overly muscular but does enough to keep himself well-toned and fit. He has fair skin but no noticeable blemishes or freckles are to be seen.

Objectively most people can't deny that he's a good looking guy, his storm blue eyes and perfectly proportioned features enough to charm any woman. He has a mop of black hair that he usually keeps short at the sides and swept back from his face. His smile is probably his most outstanding feature though, it having both won and broke the heart of many over the years.

Surprisingly for someone from Brookside, Wyatt has no tattoos and although he previously had a piercing in each ear, these were taken out several years ago. He has some scars across his back, although these are well faded and barely noticeable anymore.

Tier

Personality

On the surface Wyatt is all charm, charisma and pleasantries. Even without his powers, he has always had a way with words and knows just what to say to twist someone round his little finger. It also doesn't help that he can see a persons every thought and deepest darkest secrets...

Underneath however, Wyatt is cold and calculating. He sees the world as a brutal place, that left he and his sister alone, and that prioritises heros above all else. He sees others as simply tools for him to use and has little care for their needs or wishes. There is a part of him that has a soft spot for his sister, though this is often overtaken by desire to use her for her powers.

Although he does not have a bad temper per say, he likes things done his way, and those around him would be wise to do as he pleases. People who do irritate him seem to always coincidentally go missing, only to be found less...alive, than they once were.

Backstory
For as long as Wyatt can remember, he's been able to hear the thoughts of others. When he was very young, he figured it was just something everyone could do, and was surprised when at the mention of his powers, his parents looked at him with fear. After all, who wants their every thought known? Especially to their child?

Whereas his sister was too young to recall the atrocities that were their parents, Wyatt was subject to it all. They were never fit to care for children, and he also suspected that the only thing that kept them together was their mutual love of hard drugs. Possession of drugs, theft, assault, antisocial behaviour... The list was endless. Their parents must have had a rap sheet longer than the bible. Wyatt was honestly glad when they just disappeared one day. He didn't even bother checking whether they were in prison or if they'd died...it didn't really matter after all. So instead, he was left at twelve to raise a four year old sister. Luckily for them, Brookside was a mess, and they were able to squat in their old flat for a while. Wyatt hated it thought. Always having to struggle for food, never having heating, hearing the neighbours thoughts about them... As if he deserved such a life.

It wasn't long before he got fed up of struggling. He began to spend more and more time on the streets, seeking solace in drugs and debauchery. And he probably would have gone down the same path as his parents, if he hadn't met Mr. King when he was fifteen. The man had the ability to teleport substances from one location to another, and had utilised this to begin his own drug empire in Castleburg. His lackies consisted of a mix of average humans and superheros with D/E rank abilities at best. The gang, for lack of a better name, developed a significant degree of infamy around Brookside and were dubbed by the media 'The Calaveras', for the way they painted their faces before a raid.

Although he hid the true extent of his powers from Mr. King, the man took the young Wyatt under his wing. Afterall, a boy who can hear both your friends and enemies thoughts is infinitely useful. Wyatt enjoyed the power that Mr. King brought with him and relished in the opportunity to fine tune his powers. But...he always figured that his boss was thinking too small. He was always too eager to play up to politicians and famous celebrities, including the hero ones. So bit by bit, Wyatt began to take over. It took him years to fine tune his abilities to control the minds of others, especially when they were strong, but he learnt and he took control.

It was not until years later, at the age of 25, that Wyatt ran into his sister. He'd tried to look for her in the past but as soon as she'd gone on the streets, she'd gotten lost to the system. He surprised himself when he felt sympathy for her, seeing her work in that depressing bar, and she'd been more than eager to reconnect with her brother. When he realised what her power was, he persuaded her to come work for him. She was not only stronger than most of his men but could also get into places that had been previously inaccessible. Sure sometimes she hadn't wanted to, and he'd had to change her mind, but so be it.

Until she managed to trap him that is. They'd been planning to rob one of the most secure banks in all of Castleburg, its vaults impenetrable...unless you had access to the electrical currents that held those locks tight in place. She'd persuaded him to come along, insisting that he would need to keep his men in check for such a tricky robbery. To this day Wyatt has not been able to figure out how she did it, but Brie managed to block her true thoughts from him. He was a fool to step into the vault. A fool who got trapped. He's since been locked up in Coldwater for the past two years, his sentence infinite. But...it's only a matter of time.

Power
Telekinesis/mind control

Wyatt is a strong telepath, which allows him to read the thoughts (and sometimes memories) of others. He can also communicate with others telepathically. Through this same ability, Wyatt is able to control the thoughts, emotions or actions of certain other people. Usually, when he is controlling another's actions they will be in a semi-conscious state and have no recollection of the actions they performed. This power has been particularly useful in being able to control other superpowered people and use them for his own purposes.

"WAKE UP BRIE!"

Why was there a stranger in her room?

"WAKE...UP...NOW!"

Maybe it was a burglar. She might have to electrocute them.

Groaning, Brie briefly opened her eyes to see the thirty-something year old woman looming over her, the harsh artificial lights too painful to tolerate for long. Taking a moment to glance around the room, she realised that she wasn't in her own flat but in the backroom of her old haunt in Brookside. She tried to recall how she had gotten to the bar but it hurt her head too much to ponder on that particular question, so she quickly gave up.

"Oi, are you listening to me?" If she hadn't known her, Brianna would have likely been concerned that the woman was here to either rob or murder her. The bartend, with her mismatch of tattoos, scars and heavily applied makeup, being an intimidating sight for even Brooksides more violent residents. Brie knew better though and shot her best withering stare, before clamping her eyes shut.

"Leave me alone Juno." With a wave of her hand, the cheap dollar-store lightbulbs flickered for a few moments before going out completely, plunging the room into a sort of semi-darkness , a little dusty light managing to penetrate through the half open blinds. "Just give me two more hours..." Brianna muttered, pulling at the thin blanket that had been laid across her in a vain attempt to shield herself from the sunlight that suddenly shone into her room as Juno tugged the blinds fully open. Unfortunately, that was something she couldn't turn off.

"I have a bar to clean, customers to serve and I don't need your whiny ass getting in my way." Juno sniped, unceremoniously tugging the blanket away from Brie's hands and dropping a bundle of clean clothes into her lap. "And will you please shut this thing up!" She tossed the offending object at Brie, who managed to catch it just before it collided with her face. "You have 10 minutes and then I want you gone. Don't know why you still hang around Brookside anyway..."

Sitting up from the sofa, Brie had to steady herself for a few moments as the room spun violently, turning the object around in her hands until she could figure out what it was. It's bright light and incessent noise were enough to make her want to throw the thing back across the room. What was it anyway?

Oh...it was her phone. With Hugo Powers' face plastered all over it. Great.

"Not today Powers. Not today." She mumbled as she ran her fingers through her long brown hair, attempting to untangle some of the knots that had gathered overnight. Giving it up as a bad job, she eventually (the room was still spinning) managed to tug off the dress she had been wearing, before pulling on the jeans & t-shirt that Juno had given her. A quick sniff of the t-shirt left her doubting to its cleanliness, but at least she no longer smelt like she'd been dumped headfirst into a vat of beer. Ideally she'd take a shower...but that would involve going back to HERO one and risk running into Powers...

"Fine." Brianna rolled her eyes as she tugged on her trainers. "Kill a few ambleweeds. Then sleep." At least if she actually did some work, no-one at HERO one could chastise her too heavily when she decided to take an extended afternoon nap. Having very reluctantly made up her mind, the young woman grabbed her phone before pushing open the door to the bar, scowling a little at the small gathering of early starters. Another reason why she needed to get away from Brookside.

"Here." Juno shoved a takeaway cup of coffee in Brie's direction, raising an eyebrow at the girls flyaway hair before turning back to the spot on the bar that apparantly needed a second wipe. Brianna scowled for a moment before tying her hair up into a high ponytail and scooping the coffee off the counter. "Thanks..."

"Don't come back!" Juno shouted as Brie headed out of the bar, grimacing as she took a sip of the overly bitter black coffee. "Wouldn't dare!" Brie sniped back with a smile as she turned her attention back to her phone, looking up the general locations where the Ambleweeds were gathering.

Date of Birth

Physique
Standing at a slight 5'6, there isn't really much to Brie when it comes to musculature or fat. She's naturally of a slim body habitus, which has only been compounded by years of poor nutrition. Her time at H.E.R.O has allowed her to eat regularly and exercise, so she at least looks more healthy these days. Although she's fair in complexion, she does tan easily and has a good smattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose.

She has several tattoos dotted around her body, most of which are on her arms, although there are a few more hidden ones. She doesn't like to discuss her tattoos or the meaning of them, and generally gets annoyed when people point them out. She also has a few piercings, including a few on her ears and one on her bellybutton.

Her hair is dark brown and is usually either worn in loose waves or tied up in a messy bun, whilst her eyes are probably her most outstanding feature, being a bright green colour. If she starts to absorb too much nearby electricity, they will begin to turn white in colour.

Personality
Brie is a tough cookie to crack. Her upbringing has made her wary of others, and upon first meeting her, most would describe Brie as standoffish and aloof. She sees little point in getting to know others, assuming that they will eventually leave her. She does not share her emotions easily and is skilled at adopting a mask to hide what she is really feeling. Many are surprised when they found out that she is working for H.E.R.O, however Brie likes to insist that she is purely in it for the money and that she could care less about the wellbeing of the Castleburgs citizens.

Brie has never been good with authority and constantly struggles with taking orders from H.E.R.O. She will tolerate working in a team but is known for going astray on more than one occasion. She also sees little point in trying to fine-tune her powers, liking them as they are...which has led to the occassional blackout.

However, underneath her hard exterior, Brie has a wicked sense of humour and natural charisma that, when she lets people in, draws others to her. Although it would surprise those at H.E.R.O, she is an extrovert and enjoys being around others...not that she would ever admit it. Akin to the rest of her family, she was born with the gift of the gab, and when she chooses to, can spin a very believable lie.

Backstory
Born in the underprivileged borough of Brookside, Brie's upbringing was tumultuous, to say the least. Her parents, being heavy drug users and often in & out of prison, were absent from her early childhood. Instead she was raised by her brother, Wyatt, who was eight years her elder. The pair survived for a while, squatting in the high-rise where their parents had once lived, scrounging food off their neighbours when they could, stealing when people became less generous.

However when Brie was only seven years old, Wyatts fell in with the wrong crowd, following in his parents footsteps as he fell down the path of drugs and debauchery. Left alone and with no-one to care for her, Brie was eventually taken into care, bouncing from one foster family to the next. A scrawny kid, Brie was often made fun of by the others, but she could hold her own and was frequently punished for getting into fights. Whilst most foster families were apathetic at their worst, using Brie as a means of income, some were downright cruel.

Brie first discovered her powers when she was only nine years old. For years she had noticed that lights would sometimes flicker when she entered a room or that the TV would lose signal when she was annoyed, but she always assumed that it was just a coincidence. However her powers truly came to fruition when she was staying with one particularly unsavoury foster family. They were not only neglectful but physically abusive, and one day when she was trying to defend herself, she accidentally electrocuted her foster father. He lived...after he woke up from the six months coma.

Scared of what the authorities might do to her if they found out about her powers, Brie ran away. For years she lived on the streets, sometimes squatting with friends, othertimes simply finding a quiet alleyway to hide in. When she was seventeen, she got a job as a bartender at a particularly unsavoury joint in the slums of Brookside. It was there that Brie stumbled across her brother. Unbeknownst to her, Wyatt had discovered powers of his own, the abiity to read and manipulate the minds of others. He had used this to gather a gang of low levels villains, intent on getting revenge on the city that had dealt him such a bad card. Upon finding out about her powers, Wyatt persuaded her to come work for them. By the time Brie was eighteen, Wyatts gang had gained notoriety in Brookside, having a monopoly over the crime in that part of the city.

At first Brie was simply happy to be reunited with her brother, however she soon came to realise that she was not always in control of her actions and that she had periods that she simply could not recall. Realising that her brother was controlling her, she managed to trap him during one particularly tricky bank heist, using her powers to keep him locked in one of the most secure volts in the city. Since then, her brother has been taken to Coldwater, whilst Brie recently became a member of H.E.R.O.

Powers

'Back off': Brie can generate electromagnetic fields and use these to create barriers or shields that can block attacks. These are usually limited to her immediate area.

'Lights out': Brie can manipulate the electrical current within pieces of technology. Usually she just uses this for day-to-day tasks or to annoy others, but it can have more useful practicalities. Theoretically, this can even be used to fix broken devices...but she's never tried.

Elecro-blast: Brie can fire powerful blasts of electrical energy. Usually, this is in the form of an arc of electrical current, lightning strikes or even a ball of electricity.

Bio-electricity: Brie has a limited ability to manipulate the bio-electric currents that naturally run throughout her body. By manipulating the currents in her muscles when she is running, she is able to increase her speed, although currently, this is only to the point where she is slightly faster than the average human.

Weaknesses: Brie is unable to generate electricity, save for small amounts which would only be enough to say power a lightbulb, therefore she relies on external sources to fuel her powers.

Others:

Brie has a particular soft spot for stray cats and dogs, often taking the odd one into her flat for a few days, so that she can feed it up and tend to any wounds.

Brie has a bad habit of frequenting bars or clubs, and often turns up to work hungover, much to the chargrin of those in charge.

She absolutely loves thunderstorms and will insist on going outside during them so that she can attract nearby strikes of lightning.

Her time on the streets has left her with some rather unheroic habits. This includes her practice of acquiring cars through...not so legal means. She is also a dab hand at pickpocketing (not that she does this anymore, of course).

Brie has a dog named Dog, who is half-Rottweiler/half-MWE. His favourite food is pancakes and he enjoys biting people.

So instead, he was left at twelve to raise a four year old sister. Luckily for them, Brookside was a mess, and they were able to squat in their old flat for a while. Wyatt hated it thought. Always having to struggle for food, never having heating, hearing the neighbours thoughts about them... As if he deserved such a life.

It wasn't long before he got fed up of struggling. He began to spend more and more time on the streets, seeking solace in drugs and debauchery. And he probably would have gone down the same path as his parents, if he hadn't met Mr. King when he was fifteen. The man had the ability to teleport substances from one location to another, and had utilised this to begin his own drug empire in Castleburg. His lackies consisted of a mix of average humans and superheros with D/E rank abilities at best. The gang, for lack of a better name, developed a significant degree of infamy around Brookside and were dubbed by the media 'The Calaveras', for the way they painted their faces before a raid.

Although he hid the true extent of his powers from Mr. King, the man took the young Wyatt under his wing. Afterall, a boy who can hear both your friends and enemies thoughts is infinitely useful. Wyatt enjoyed the power that Mr. King brought with him and relished in the opportunity to fine tune his powers. But...he always figured that his boss was thinking too small. He was always too eager to play up to politicians and famous celebrities, including the hero ones. So bit by bit, Wyatt began to take over. It took him years to fine tune his abilities to control the minds of others, especially when they were strong, but he learnt and he took control.

It was not until years later, at the age of 25, that Wyatt ran into his sister. He'd tried to look for her in the past but as soon as she'd gone on the streets, she'd gotten lost to the system. He surprised himself when he felt sympathy for her, seeing her work in that depressing bar, and she'd been more than eager to reconnect with her brother. When he realised what her power was, he persuaded her to come work for him. She was not only stronger than most of his men but could also get into places that had been previously inaccessible. Sure sometimes she hadn't wanted to, and he'd had to change her mind, but so be it.

Until she managed to trap him that is. They'd been planning to rob one of the most secure banks in all of Castleburg, its vaults impenetrable...unless you had access to the electrical currents that held those locks tight in place. She'd persuaded him to come along, insisting that he would need to keep his men in check for such a tricky robbery. To this day Wyatt has not been able to figure out how she did it, but Brie managed to block her true thoughts from him. He was a fool to step into the vault. A fool who got trapped. He's since been locked up in Coldwater for the past two years, his sentence infinite. But...it's only a matter of time.

Power
Telepathy/mind control

Wyatt is a strong telepath, which allows him to read the thoughts (and sometimes memories) of others. He can also communicate with others telepathically. Through this same ability, Wyatt is able to control the thoughts, emotions or actions of certain other people. Usually, when he is controlling another's actions they will be in a semi-conscious state and have no recollection of the actions they performed. This power has been particularly useful in being able to control other superpowered people and use them for his own purposes.

Extras:
Wyatt can perfectly imitate at least a dozen accents from different countries. He is also fluent in Russian and French.

Thanks to his powers, Wyatt has a near eidetic memory.

Physique
Standing at a slight 5'6, there isn't really much to Brie when it comes to musculature or fat. She's naturally of a slim body habitus, which has only been compounded by years of poor nutrition. Her time at H.E.R.O has allowed her to eat regularly and exercise, so she at least looks more healthy these days. Although she's fair in complexion, she does tan easily and has a good smattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose.

She has several tattoos dotted around her body, most of which are on her arms, although there are a few more hidden ones. She doesn't like to discuss her tattoos or the meaning of them, and generally gets annoyed when people point them out. She also has a few piercings, including a few on her ears and one on her bellybutton.

Her hair is dark brown and is usually either worn in loose waves or tied up in a messy bun, whilst her eyes are probably her most outstanding feature, being a bright green colour. If she starts to absorb too much nearby electricity, they will begin to turn white in colour.

Personality
Brie is a tough cookie to crack. Her upbringing has made her wary of others, and upon first meeting her, most would describe Brie as standoffish and aloof. She sees little point in getting to know others, assuming that they will eventually leave her. She does not share her emotions easily and is skilled at adopting a mask to hide what she is really feeling. Many are surprised when they found out that she is working for H.E.R.O, however Brie likes to insist that she is purely in it for the money and that she could care less about the wellbeing of the Castleburgs citizens.

Brie has never been good with authority and constantly struggles with taking orders from H.E.R.O. She will tolerate working in a team but is known for going astray on more than one occasion. She also sees little point in trying to fine-tune her powers, liking them as they are...which has led to the occassional blackout.

However, underneath her hard exterior, Brie has a wicked sense of humour and natural charisma that, when she lets people in, draws others to her. Although it would surprise those at H.E.R.O, she is an extrovert and enjoys being around others...not that she would ever admit it. Akin to the rest of her family, she was born with the gift of the gab, and when she chooses to, can spin a very believable lie.

Backstory
Born in the underprivileged borough of Brookside, Brie's upbringing was tumultuous, to say the least. Her parents, being heavy drug users and often in & out of prison, were absent from her early childhood. Instead she was raised by her brother, Wyatt, who was eight years her elder. The pair survived for a while, squatting in the high-rise where their parents had once lived, scrounging food off their neighbours when they could, stealing when people became less generous.

However when Brie was only seven years old, Wyatts fell in with the wrong crowd, following in his parents footsteps as he fell down the path of drugs and debauchery. Left alone and with no-one to care for her, Brie was eventually taken into care, bouncing from one foster family to the next. A scrawny kid, Brie was often made fun of by the others, but she could hold her own and was frequently punished for getting into fights. Whilst most foster families were apathetic at their worst, using Brie as a means of income, some were downright cruel.

Brie first discovered her powers when she was only nine years old. For years she had noticed that lights would sometimes flicker when she entered a room or that the TV would lose signal when she was annoyed, but she always assumed that it was just a coincidence. However her powers truly came to fruition when she was staying with one particularly unsavoury foster family. They were not only neglectful but physically abusive, and one day when she was trying to defend herself, she accidentally electrocuted her foster father. He lived...after he woke up from the six months coma.

Scared of what the authorities might do to her if they found out about her powers, Brie ran away. For years she lived on the streets, sometimes squatting with friends, othertimes simply finding a quiet alleyway to hide in. When she was seventeen, she got a job as a bartender at a particularly unsavoury joint in the slums of Brookside. It was there that Brie stumbled across her brother. Unbeknownst to her, Wyatt had discovered powers of his own, the abiity to read and manipulate the minds of others. He had used this to gather a gang of low levels villains, intent on getting revenge on the city that had dealt him such a bad card. Upon finding out about her powers, Wyatt persuaded her to come work for them. By the time Brie was eighteen, Wyatts gang had gained notoriety in Brookside, having a monopoly over the crime in that part of the city.

At first Brie was simply happy to be reunited with her brother, however she soon came to realise that she was not always in control of her actions and that she had periods that she simply could not recall. Realising that her brother was controlling her, she managed to trap him during one particularly tricky bank heist, using her powers to keep him locked in one of the most secure volts in the city. Since then, her brother has been taken to Coldwater, whilst Brie recently became a member of H.E.R.O.

Powers

'Back off': Brie can generate electromagnetic fields and use these to create barriers or shields that can block attacks. These are usually limited to her immediate area.

'Lights out': Brie can manipulate the electrical current within pieces of technology. Usually she just uses this for day-to-day tasks or to annoy others, but it can have more useful practicalities. Theoretically, this can even be used to fix broken devices...but she's never tried.

Elecro-blast: Brie can fire powerful blasts of electrical energy. Usually, this is in the form of an arc of electrical current, lightning strikes or even a ball of electricity.

Bio-electricity: Brie has a limited ability to manipulate the bio-electric currents that naturally run throughout her body. By manipulating the currents in her muscles when she is running, she is able to increase her speed, although currently, this is only to the point where she is slightly faster than the average human.

Weaknesses: Brie is unable to generate electricity, save for small amounts which would only be enough to say power a lightbulb, therefore she relies on external sources to fuel her powers.

Others:

Brie has a particular soft spot for stray cats and dogs, often taking the odd one into her flat for a few days, so that she can feed it up and tend to any wounds.

Brie has been a bad habit of going out to bars or clubs, and often turns up to work hungover, much to the chargrin of those in charge.
