Name: MVC-0/Mary Red(far preferred)/Blastette
Age: 16
Race: Clone (Human)
Gender/Sex: Female, Female
Description: Mary is a teenage girl, looking to be around 16, and stands at 5'6'', with a moderately slim build and rather pale skin. Her eyes are a deep blue color, and her hair is straight and is a dyed vivid red color, coming to her shoulders but being swept around her neck instead of reaching them. Aside from the hair color and style, she looks exactly like another teenage hero, Miss Volt, if a little bit paler... she is her clone, after all. For her costume, she wears a white and red outfit, a jumpsuit with a red bottom half that stripes into white towards the top, as well as white boots and red gloves (differentiating her from Miss Volt's yellow and blue color theme). She doesn't wear a mask, as her identity is already known anyway.
Perks:
Mutating Power: The genetic quirk Dr. Cytos installed in her to let her mimic Miss Volt's powers isn't actually too stable; while it lets her indeed shoot lightning, it has a tendency to break its intended limits and branch out to other elements, albeit not all at once. Mary's elemental powers come in sets of one-three moves per element, and she has one active at a time, which she can switch between freely... at the cost of dealing herself 1/4th of her Max HP in damage whenever she does. Every other level (starting at 2) she gains an extra ability that MUST go into making a new ability in one of these sets, although she can put normal level up abilities into the sets if she wishes.
Reactive Blast: If Mary is dropped to half health or downed, her powers act up and retaliate, dealing 1.5*SPATK damage to her attacker, with whatever element is currently active.
Shifting Resistances: Mary takes 1/3rd of the damage of attacks of whatever element she has active.
Minor Flight: Like Miss Volt, Mary has minor flight powers. She can't fly particularly highly, agilely, or quickly, but she does have that base ability.
Lab Born: Mary has expertise when generic equipment and cloning equipment; it was used to make her, after all, and her first month or two of existence was in a lab under a terribly brilliant mad scientist. Knowledge stay doubled for anything involving genetics or cloning.
Complications: Vulnerable Biology: The same genetic quirk has made her biology pretty unstable and made her pretty unhealthy; worse, her biology is incredibly easy to screw with. Two times damage from poisons or diseases.
Pariah: Miss Volt is one of the most popular heroes in the Youth Heroics Division of the Heroic Union and one of its more popular in general. Being a clone of a hero created by a very evil supervillain, Mary would have issues with being trusted anyway. Miss Volt suffered a lot of trauma thanks to her existence, and actively hates her for it. Combine all of those, and Mary is exceptionally unpopular within the hero community and often some of the populace in general, and generally distrusted. -5 to Fame/Infamy rolls with NPC heroes and -2 to said rolls with general population, unless the GM specifies otherwise.

In Megalopolis C, a mad scientist named Dr. Cytos briefly rose to prominence, using genetics to create various monsters primarily fought off by the city's section of the Youth Heroics Division. Eventually, said heroes raided his base, only to face a horrible revelation: he had been collecting genetic samples of the various members of the YHD from their fights, and had been making an attempt to create clones of them for his own personal use.
When they raided his compound, they found that out the hard way, as a most terrifying battle ensue. Yet, of the various prototype Youth Heroics Division clones, only two really ever turned out -- the others were deformed and largely mindless, but these two were intelligent: the clone of the teenage lightning-blaster Miss Volt, and the clone of a speedster, KPH. The clone of Miss Volt was MVC-0, and she spent two months of her existence in Cytos' lab, heedless of the reality of the world... until the raid and the battle, which both her and the other clone survived. The clone of KPH, KHC-0, however, escaped... leaving MVC-0 behind to take most of the anger... and leaving both her and Miss Volt to suffer some serious identity issues. It also saddled her with a lasting hatred from Miss Volt.
Nonetheless, she hadn't actually done anything wrong besides fighting the mysterious attackers, so she ended up largely released into the world, where life was largely made difficult for her, especially in Megalopolis C... so four months later, she moved to Megalopolis F, where she has, over two months, made multiple applications for the local chapter of the YHD... and been rejected each time. So she's going independent, trying to forge something for herself.
