I'll just mention that Toxic has been in the City for about 2 weeks now, laying low as she gets a feel for the City. As for faction, that's to be determined IC as she's sought out. ^^@Sickle-cell
The High Venom smiled wide at the response, showing bright perfect teeth. #Yes... Yes I do. As you may have noticed, our City and it's inhabitants have been viscously attacked several times recently,# she explained slowly. #Right now there are are no less than three incidents occurring, three separate battles involving agents of a certain metal boned bastard.#
There was a hint of malice to the last part of the sentence, and a visible ripple spread across her hair.
#What I want to you to do first is to assist a hero who goes by Magus. He's currently holding back two Intruders on the East side of the City. Two girls. You'll know them when you see them. Assuming you survive, I'll send for you to continue your Justice.#
Alex
The fight between Rend and Alex continued, neither side able to gain the upper hand or willing to give in to the other.
Frustrated, Rend switched tactics, using his copies to attack with him.
Alex, however, was used to fighting groups by herself. Whenever an attack looked to be ready to strike her, she switched places with a random Rend and continued her attack. Trying to find the original was a daunting task, and practically impossible.
Lucky led the way through side alleys, until the duo finally came out about three blocks away from the fight.
"That's Traveler... But who's the guy with all the copies?" She muttered to Anomaly. "We need to help her."
"No one shall interfere. Like a river, there's is no stopping the flow before you. Night descends upon you like pollon across the field," a woman's voice was heard from behind them.
Turning around, they would be met with the smokey figure of Smog, as her smoke flowed towards them and solidified into a five story tall wall behind them.
"You will dance with me, and fall like the lightning struck tree."
Liz shivered as she watched her sister, trying to think of what to do.
"Sorry, sis, I've got no other choice...." She muttered before jumping onto her sister and starting to recite a spell.
Trapped between light and dark Between the hearth and heart Dream deep, dream long Until I come to finish this song
Instantaneously her sister fell asleep, dreamless and timeless.
"Almost like Sleeping Beauty, without the softcore rape and stuff..." Liz sighed, falling back against the wall.
The sound of a vehicle outside caught her attention, before it cut off and she could only assume they're stopped outside.
Carefully checking her sister one last time, Liz moved to the front door, peering through the window. There were...a boy was talking to a lizard man? What... What... She couldn't process what was going on. We're these people responsible for all of this? For her sister's madness?
Moving to the backdoor, Liz climbed up to the roof. Popping over the top, she crouched by the gutter and materialized her bow, pointing it at the unknown group as the lizard finished speaking.
"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here? WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER?" She called down to them. "Answer me or I'll turn you into Swiss cheese, or worse!"
(Yes, it's Jane the Killer... But I felt it captured the duality the best.)

Bio
Personality: Alice is capacious, seemingly unstable and thus unpredictable. One thing that remains common is a highly flirtatious attitude. While in her good graces, however, one will find her rather motherly towards them. This can be confusing given her flirty nature.
On the flip side, Alice can be viscous and demented, revelling in the pain and suffering of her enemies.
And, of course, she's easily offended and should be dealt with as if she were a Queen if you don't wish to draw her ire.
History: (I'm going to skip the long, boring details of childhood.) Once Alice was of age, she moved away from the small town life style of her birth, going from Idaho to Chicago overnight. There she took advantage of her pretty face and slid right into modeling for anyone willing to pay get a decent price. She didn't worry about those pesky Capes, those nutty villains, or even really the Endbringers. She was untouchable. Perfect. Gorgeous.
Which was her downfall, as one might expect.
At the age of 24 everything crashed around her. Literally. Some Villain or another had gone mad, destroying as much as they could. It just so happened one target building was the one Alice was in... On the top floor.
As the building fell sideways, Alice found herself trapped in rubble, miraculously alive. Painfully she looked around, in shock from both the situation and the pain in her face and legs, and realized with horror that she could die. Her, of all people!
It was then that she caught her reflection in the remains of a mirror. Her face was ruined! Robbed of it's beauty! What was she going to do if she lived now? And how could she live? She was alone, all alone, in a building that could finish falling at any moment...
In a flash she triggered over the audacity of it all. Her face fixed itself before her very eyes, her body rearranging itself to escape the trap of death she was in. And she was intricately aware of all of it. Everything around her, the little invisible things inside her and on everything.
But while she lived, a piece of herself was lost forever. Her sanity was shattered, sometimes existing and sometimes not.
She roamed around for a while, going from City to City and enjoying herself as she saw fit. Eventually she heard of the factions of Boston coming to a head, and knew that was where she would find her real fun and expand herself into something truly glorious... For better or for worse.
Abilities
Classified as a Shifter / Brute 7 and Master / Shaker 6, Toxic isn't someone to mess around with.
Having complete control over her own physiology, Toxic can take on any form she desires. This can also serve as a defensive measure, as she can shift her vital points around to avoid serious injury and heal at an accelerated rate. She does have a preferred form, but it can be incredibly difficult to track her as she can change her scent along with her looks.
Her other ability stems further from that, as she has complete control over bacteria and viruses inside her body, and around her. This allows her to both cure diseases, manipulate these cells to make them worse or better, and to create brand new biological threats never seen before.
