((OOC:
I was wondering if I could join this thing.
Also, did I make my hero too OP?
Given Name: Kathryn
(?)Super Name: Misdirection (alternatively The Grey Ghost, Copycat, Phantasma, or Trick. Possibly related Heroes, or the same?)
Powers: She is classified as a Psionic, but with a laser guided focus-she has great power to bend the mind in regards to the five senses. She can, for example, alter her form to look and sound like anyone else, or manipulate the auditory spectrum around her to produce false voices, misleading echoes, areas of mental silence, disturbingly loud sounds and the like. She can also manipulate the visual spectrum-kaleidoscopic nausea, vivid hallucinations, mirror doubles, blurring and displacement effects or partial invisibility, among others. These effects are even strong enough to pierce Psionic N-Space-so a person viewing her through a security camera or a visual device will not be immune to the effects, if slightly more resistant. She is quite difficult to truly perceive through any other means-electronic, arcane or mental, she has trained or equipped herself to fool them all.
Her powers over touch, smell and taste are currently undeveloped, but she can perform minor feats with them. She of course retains enhanced Agility, Strength and Constitution, and is considerably trained in martial arts, gunplay and all forms of espionage-this is true of all her siblings as well, who have trained alongside her from an early age.
Back story: As befitting her name, Kathryn has told few people her true story. She prefers things left a mystery.
In truth, the moniker of 'Misdirection' is not completely unique-it is one that has been claimed many times in the past. It began in the times of Egyptian Empire, where the Trickster God Seth (or a sufficiently advanced force to call himself so) bestowed upon a particularly clever woman the ability to fool those who would pursue her. She lived a long and interesting life, never being caught-and to her surprise, found her daughters and sons possessed the same ability upon reaching maturity. Since then, the lives of those born into her lineage has been...exciting, to say the least.
Some became Heroes-others Villains-and some refused to use the gift, naturally. But most adopted their own guises and styles, and changed the world for good or evil. An ancient pact called the "Order of Seth" is what binds them this day-to keep their true forms, and their family name a secret-and to work together, no matter their other loyalties, to some great goal. There are in fact, quite a few of them-some related, others not-they can appear almost anywhere, taking each others identities and names, as easy as putting on a pair of clothes. Even those who can say to have bested the Heroine called Misdirection can never be entirely sure who they were exactly facing at the time-or what direction revenge will come for them from.
Kathryn was trained from a young age by the Order-she tutored under the best. In time, her freedom was granted-and she chose to serve good. For now.
The full extent, true goals, and nature of this 'Order of Seth' is unknown to Kathryn-she only knows she serves as one of many...))
