Afterlight
Afterlight is my current main, and my absoloute favourite character.
Contents |
[edit] Affiliations
In a relationship with Tina Onders.
Sister of Frederick Headliner Jones.
Was a good friend of Doctor Helios before his death in spite of what most people would consider extreme obstacles to a civil relationship.
Former member of European Villainous Immorality League.
Occassionally employs Antipode to hunt down criminals that escape to the Rogue Isles. Considers her a good friend.
[edit] Personality
Afterlight, or Sarah, can come across as extremely cold and distant at times, as well as seeming extremely arrogant. Once she gets to know a person however she thaws, becoming friendly and often extremely supportive. She has a great confidence in her abilities that can sometimes cause her to get in over her head, which is made worse by the fact that she is an extremely independant woman who hates to ask for help unless desperate.
She finds it difficut to trust people completely but has been making an effort to open up more. She believes strongly in helping people who cannot defend themselves, and in giving second chances. If you abuse your second chance though, she is very slow to forgive.
Sarah has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
[edit] Motivation
Sarah has suffered greatly in her life, and this has motivated her to ensure that others don't have to suffer in the same way. She was in a helpless and painful situation for most of her life and understands how it feels to be powerless in the face of threats greater than yourself. Because of this she has great sympathy for the situation many people find themselves in when faced with gangs or super-powered villains.
As Afterlight, she has no shortage of motivations against the various villain groups around Paragon. She has an intense fear and hatred of doctors and medical procedures and considers The Vahzilok an embodiement of this. Her partner, Tina Onders, is a former member of The Council and frequently targetted by them. As a witch she hates to see magic misused, so frequently fights against groups such as The Circle of Thorns or The Tsoo. That is to name but a few.
Since the death of her close friend Doctor Helios, a man Sarah considered the perfect example of redemption, she underwent a period of doubt in her work. However she has recently re-discovered her passion for heroism and has begun work on the fledgling supergroup Guardians of Virtue in his honour.

[edit] Illusions
Since leaving the Rogue Isles and her vigilante career behind to become a boneified hero, Sarah has moved away from using her psychic abilities to directly manipulate or harm the minds of others. She now uses her powers, along with certain mystical elements when required, to create illusions to confound her enemies. She causes people to believe that they have suffered an injury using illusions, and along with a low level psychic suggestion ensures that they act appropriately (as if they really had been injured) until such time as they have been read their Miranda Rights. She considers this to be much more humane than assaulting a persons consciousness.
[edit] Telekinesis/Kinetics
Sarah has the ability of telekinesis. Although it is nowhere near as powerful as her telepathy, she has been caught on camera throwing a car with her mind. This is believed to be the extreme limit of this power, and to have caused her great strain at the time. She has also been recorded, on one occassion, employing a form of psychic armour that seemed to be impenetrable. She has stated that she does not know how she used this ability, and does not believe she could consciously do so again.
It is unsuprising however that with her telekinesis, as with many other things, Sarah believes that refined skill is far more effective than a greater force. Sarah has with great practice discovered how to use her telekinesis in extremely subtle and unconventional ways, altering the potential and kinetic energy of those around her to achieve such effects as increasing or decreasing the potential speed of a body in motion, increasing or decreasing the force with which a person swings a weapon or transferring kinetic energy from one source into potential energy for another. She has been witnessed using healing powers, claiming that she is increasing the kinetic energy of the injured person, specifically around the wounded area causing it to work and heal at a faster rate than normal. She has also said she hasn't gotten this "quite right yet", but continues to employ it upon others. This unsettles many of the people she works with.
[edit] Additional Powers
Having access to a large store of arcane texts and supplies means that Afterlight is not limited to her 'natural' abilities of telepathy and telekinesis. She is unlikely to employ magical methods however, preferring her psychic abilities.
[edit] Flight
Sarah is able to use her telekinesis to push herself off the ground and away from objects, resulting in flight. Her top speed is unknown.
[edit] Fitness
Sarah's health has improved considerably since she began her heroic career and has worked to get herself in decent shape. As a result she is slightly faster and in better shape than the average woman of her age and build, but is still nowhere near the fitness level of the majority of heroes.
[edit] Abilities
Sarah is naturally telepathic and telekinetic, as well as being a practicing witch. She often uses magic to boost or suppliment her natural abilities and is greatly knowlegeable regarding the mystic arts. She has a genius level intelligence and self-educated in the classics.
[edit] Vulnerabilities
Sarah can be harmed in the same way as any normal human with the exception that her psychic defenses are extremely strong. She is also more likely to be able to protect herself from magical means of attack.
[edit] Equipment
Sarah owns a great array of magical supplies and texts that she is able to access at her home. When dressed in normal clothes she has access to very little in the way of equipment and is limited mainly to communication devices.
When working as Afterlight it is known, based on things that Sarah has said herself, that she uses some sort of magical item to boost her powers. She has implied it is the tiara she wears, but her jewelled belt is also a possibility.
