Over the past year Sam has been an independent Villain/Vigilante. Living in abandoned building she's been doing a fair bit of shoplifting, beating up dealers and selling their drugs to a friend, and attacking random and low level capes just to test her limits. Due to a combination of ignorance and stupidity she didn't realize a terror was attacking until about an hour before it happened, and then decided that this was a good time to loot and/or get a reputation as a bad-ass fighting a terror.
((I have decided that she is a stupid kid and I will live with that mistake.))
(I'm modifying this to not realizing just how strong a Terror was before he got here, to fit better with the story and the fact that
no one knew that Naga was attacking until less than half an hour before it struck Toronto, and they didn't know where until mere minutes before it struck.)
[2] Poor Sam, going by a name you should probably come up with, got into one too many scuffles. He got caught by the police and arrested for drug dealing. He was given a chance, which he leaped at: Fight Naga and get his freedom. If only he realized how likely his death was...
With his new power, Phillip set out to make some money for his family... A task which was easier said than done, since his power was practically useless on its own. Still, with its high crime rates and bustling waterfront, the city of Buffalo NY Montreal was breeding ground for capes, and Phillip (Catalyst when in costume) soon fell in with a small group of teenage heroes calling themselves the Pavises, raiding local gangs for money and supplies.
Pavises:
[spoiler=Wingnut]
Name: Mike Benson
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Power: Tinker specializing in aircraft.
Personality: As the leader of the Pavises, Mike likes to plan things well in advance, whether it be raids on gangs, publicity stunts, or even just times for the group to hang out. He's also quite judgmental of others, although he's learned to keep his judgments to himself to avoid conflict with his team.
