Secrets [08 May 2013|07:48pm]
Six months before her eighteenth birthday, Avia suspended touring and left the planet Earth behind, going with the Forever People on a mission the details of which she never revealed to anyone, other than mentioning that she had lost her virginity to Serifan.

In point of fact, the whole point of her journey with them through space and time, was to prepare her for assuming her God-Power and to prepare her for what the Source has revealed. A power which she has never told anyone about, nor had any reason to use.

Because amongst the New Gods, Avia is special. Her father was of New Genesis, her mother was of Apokolips, making her the only New God to draw equal heritage between both worlds in a way that not even her father or Orion could claim. And one day, it will be her destiny to unite and rebuild the two worlds when Orion and Darkseid have danced their last, and guide the two peoples back into being one.

Avia's secret god-power is, in fact, the ability to, in her words, "bring out the best in people." This is not mind control and she cannot make anyone do anything. It is but simply a quasi-psionic means of revealing to people the consequences of their actions and how their lives could be better if they changed what they were doing. It is a literal projection of "good vibes" if you will, that for at least a moment, allows people to believe that they, and things, can be better. Most people, after exposure to this, do change their actions, at least so long as they are close enough to her to be affected. Of course, the truly evil, or those who are simply quite happy with being bad people, are barely or not at all affected by it. Her power only shows them what might be. The decision is always theirs.

Mirrors [09 Sep 2012|08:31pm]

1)      A regular meeting of the JLA is interrupted when the team suddenly vanishes, replaced on Earth by their Crime Syndicate counterparts. 

 

2)      Disguising themselves as the League, the Syndicate begins to commit various acts of villainy.

 

3)      A) During one such act, the JLI is called in to try and stop the League gone rogue.  They fail.

B)    Meanwhile, on the Syndicate’s Earth, the League is being hunted by the local Earth version of Damien Luthor and other “good” versions of villains from our Earth, the Heroic Society and other authorities.

 

4)      A) Continuing its rampage across the country, the Syndicate battles the New Guardians, who are rather hopelessly outclassed.

B) The JLA battles with Luthor’s Heroic Society, which eventually comes to the realizations that these are not the villains they knew.

 

5)      A) Continuing their rampage and plundering of tech, the Syndicate attacks a STAR Labs in San Diego and battles the Titans to a standstill.

B) Working together, the League and the Heroic Society discover the Syndicate’s headquarters and battle the members they left behind (perhaps based on other heroes from other teams), and find the machinery that sent them to their Earth, and are able to send them home.

 

6)      The League returns to their proper dimension, but find the JSA waiting for them, not knowing they aren’t the rogue versions.  The two teams battle.  Just as they’re about to reach an understanding…

 

7)      The Syndicate arrives, and takes down the JSA.

 

8)      The League and Syndicate have an all-out battle, with the Syndicate being defeated and sent back to their own Earth.

 

9)      The JLA will have some work to do restoring their reputation…  (which can also be used for the JLI, to chain to them stepping up to fill that lack of trust void.)

Hey Hey, We're All Okay (Fluff, 20) [24 Jan 2012|10:36pm]
Avia sat down for her monthly meeting with Cindy, to go over money-management, donations, possible investment ventures, all that kind of thing.  When you were a media icon the way she was--known more for her off-stage persona, truthfully, than her on-stage on, it became rather necessary.   And she demanded the best.  And her friend?  Was absolutely the best.

Successful career, happy marriage, kids who never had to worry about the boogey man called Darkseid ever again...  Things were pretty good.

"Okay, lay it on me, Cindy-Loo.  What's the haps?"

Face-Off (Crack, 15) [23 Jan 2012|04:26pm]
Okay, so she'd crashed at YJLA HQ, after a night out painting the town red with Petra.  There may have been alcohol.  No, there had definitely been alcohol.  There may have been some fake making out just to drive the boys who wouldn't leave them alone crazy.  There had definitely been some stumbling about and Boom Tubing back to YJLA HQ to crash, because it had been closer (metaphorically speaking) and because neither had exactly been thinking all that clearly by that point.

(How exactly had she gotten that drunk?  Her metabolism functioned much higher than a normal person's.)

So morning (technically early afternoon) came far too early, but she dragged herself out of bed.    She passed by Petra, who was in her room for some reason.  "...Mornin' Petra."

She continued toward the bathroom, but suddenly stopped and walked backwards to what turned out, in fact, to be a mirror.  "...What in the name of Himon...?"

Nurse Avia is Here (Fluff, 19) [23 Jan 2012|03:59pm]
The JSA Brownstone

Despite her initial idea of a naught nurse costume (yes, she had one.  Of course she had one), Avia had instead just gone for her traditional clothing when it had come time to take care of Will.

She sat a plate of food on the tray over his lap, then pulled her chair next to his bed.  She leaned over to give him a kiss.  "Taking on the whole Monster Society all by yourself...  I dunno whether to kiss you or strangle you."

Wait.

"Well, okay, apparently I do.  But still.  Trying to make a point here, sweetie.  You had me scared to death."

Darkseid Is. (Angst, 16) [23 Jan 2012|03:10pm]
It was the literal end of the world.  The heroes of the Earth had fallen decades ago, with very few remaining.  The Supers, the Wonders, the Flashes, and more, gone.  The oceans of Earth flash fried.  It's people enslaved, reduced to the status of Hunger Dogs.  The entirety of Europe gone, reduced to a massive firepit. 

Those heroes who did not die, enslaved, turned into twisted and fetishistic versions of themselves, with no trace of their heroism or compassion remaining.

But life did survive.  Small pockets of resistance remained, including one right in the heart of Darkseid City, just under the notice of the dark god of Apocalypse himself.

Lead by one of the last New Gods, Avia Freeman.  Her beloved William one of the first to die when the darkness had come, her parents the very first .  Alone and unchanged by the ages, as though time had simply passed her by.  One of so few voices still raised in the name of hope and freedom.

It was decades now.  And their numbers were growing fewer.  One of the last teams she had lead to the slave pens had... not returned, except for her.  They had succeeded, but at the cost of their own lives.

And she wondered how they would go on.  How she would go on.  She hadn't asked to be a Messiah, hadn't asked to be a leader.  But the only child of both New Genesis and Apocalypse...  where was her place in this universe where hope had all but died?

Name: Avia Free
Codename: Ms. Miracle
Group Affiliation: Young Justice League of America
Birthday: April 1, 1990
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Brown
Height: 5 ft 7 in.
Weight: 120 lbs
Relatives: Scott Free/Mr. Miracle (father, living), Barda Free/Big Bara (mother, living), Higfather Izaya (grandfather, living), Orion (adopted uncle, living), Oberon (godfather, living), Avia (grandmother, deceased)

History: Given the choice between New Genesis and Earth, Scott and Barda chose to make Earth their own, settling down there to raise a family.  Their daughter, named for Scott's mother, was a flower of peace and love almost from the moment she could talk.  Though both parents took an equal hand in raising her and teacher her their ideals of freedom and peace and life, Avia bonded more closely with her father, developing a more non-aggressive and even Hippie-ish set of ideals that occasionally brought up frustration in her mother, but ultimately, she couldn't have asked for a better childhood, one entirely free of the conflict and strife that her parents had endured.  She simply preferred to think, rather than fight, her way out of most situations.

Avia learned escapology from her father as soon as she was old enough, working her way up to an assistant in his act before being allowed to contribute performance pieces of her own.  She developed into quite the showman, knowing how to work a crowd like almost nobody else and how to give them the show they wanted, with just the right about of tease and action.  As her father began to step down his own act and schedule, Avia began increasing hers, doing opening acts for various musical groups and other shows, and eventually graduated to her own complete show by the time she was 18.

Avia took a brief absence from touring (approximately six months or so) in order to travel with the Forever People.  In contrast to her usual nature, she'd been less than forthcoming with the details of what went on during that time period, other than briefly mentioning that she lost her virginity to Serifan.  Upon her return to Earth, she resumed touring and joined the Young Justice League.

A free-spirit if ever there was one, Avia uses her touring to promote a wide variety of social causes and donates much of the profits from touring and the associated merchandise to those causes.  Though not always consistent, Avia's speech patterns can frequently be described as "cosmic hippie."

Powers: As a New God of New Genesis, Avia if functionally immortal and will cease aging by the time she enters her thirties.  Her physical attributes are those of a human in peak physical condition. 

Avia is a master escape artist, nearly as good as her father, with the potential to one day be even better.  She seems to possess an innate understanding of traps, sometimes even better than the one who built it.  She has been trained in various forms of combat, but prefers to focus on styles such as judo and aikdo that allow her to redirect an opponent's aggression.

Tools: Avia carries a multi-function lockpick set concealed in various places around her costume. 

Avia's greatest tool is her Mother Box, nicknamed "Foxy Mama."  It can perform a variety of functions, including manipulating matter (which Avia uses as a form of birthcontrol), perform advanced mathematical calculations, act as a sensor system, generate shock blasts (which Avia usually directs through her gloves), create matter from energy (such as nets), create magnetic fields, and enabling her to phase through matter.  It is also capable of opening and calculating the destinations of a Boom Tubes.  It is also capable of creating light and sound, and creates the Aero-Disks that Avia uses to fly. It taps directly into the Source and can also be used to generate positive and peaceful energy.  Her Mother Box is a living computer and synced to her own emotional state and will react on its own to protect her in times of crisis.

Avia's cape is designed on a quick-snap system for easy removal when needed.

Imagine [09 Oct 2010|07:26pm]
October 9.  A date well etched into Avia Free's memory. A day on which she would never, ever, give a performance.  A day she always spent at home.

A day when the world's greatest dreamer had been born.

She plopped the record onto the record player and listened.

Imagine... )
And she cried, and thought about what might have been.

Where Miraculous Meets the Mundane [03 Apr 2010|10:50pm]
A large portion of the basement of the Free house was set aside for engineering and practicing stunts and escapes.  Not the kind that could blow up in your face (Mom had put a stop to that before either of the kids had come along), but the kind that could safely be done indoors.  Such was where Avia Free found herself now.  She was only the universe's second greatest (or at least, that's what she told people) artist so far, but one day, she'd promised herself, she was going to be even better and even more famous than her father.

Upside down, hanging by chains from the ceiling, wrists bound behind her back, chain slightly spinning, blindfolded.

Nope.  Not a challenge at all.

Unflex so that the wrist bonds gained some slack.  Slip her hands out from there.  Remove the blindfold.   Swing herself up, untie her feet, hang onto the chain, wait for the right moment in the arc, dismount, flip, aaaaaand land.

Oh, and don't forget to take a bow.

"How long was that, Mother Box?"

Ping.

"Groovy.  Should definitely work this into the next show.  Throw in a few far-out fireworks, maybe underwater too...  Say we should get sharks, but that might be animal cruelty..."

App [01 Apr 2010|09:42pm]

Player (nickname, handle)/ LJ: Dylan
Email: you’ve got it
AIM (if you have one): nextgener49
Character Name: Avia Free
Character LJ (if applicable): ms_miracle
Physical description (face, build, weight): Avia is only of slightly below average height, with an athletic build.  She has dark hair and brown eyes.
Age: 18
Birthday: April 1
Codename: Ms. Miracle
PB: (If using one.)
Abilities: Avia possesses the longevity and enhanced attributes common to most New Gods, though her physical attributes are significantly less than that of her sister, instead topping out at peak human levels.  She is a skilled escape artist, easily as good as her father.  She has received combat training from her mother, but prefers to think her way out rather than fight.  She uses a Mother Box who’s circuitry has been woven into the fabric of her mask (this allows for things like Boom Tubes, flight disks, high-speed calculations, sensor scans, and limited energy manipulation). She also has a set of lock-picks.
Weaknesses and flaws: While not a pacifist, Avia’s reluctance to do harm to others can prove to be her undoing in situations where aggressive would serve her better.
Character location/Home: New Haven, CT
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero
Team: Birds of Prey
Relatives (living/dead?): Scott Free (father), Barda Free (mother), Hope Free (sister), Higfather Izaya (grandfather, deceased), Orion ('uncle')

Backstory: The second child of Scott and Barda Free (who felt something of a need to bring many new New God lives into a free universe), Avia was named for Scott’s mother and enjoyed much of the same childhood as her older sister, Hope.  Notable, however, was her reluctance to learn much of fighting, beyond what was necessary to protect herself.  It was not that she was lacking in the skills, she simply preferred to think her way out of situations, to distract or contain, rather than do harm.

 

Avia learned escapology from her father as soon as she was old enough, working her way up to an assistant in his act before being allowed to contribute performance pieces of her own.  She developed into quite the showman, knowing how to work a crowd like almost nobody else and how to give them the show they wanted, with just the right about of tease and action.  Along the way, she’s stopped a crime or two, creating enough of a presence to possibly attract the attention of the Birds.

 

Avia is an extreme anti-war advocate, as well as of other charitable causes.

 

For reasons unknown, Avia has adopted a speech pattern that can best be described as “cosmic hippie”.


How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Probably some kind of performance, if not that, just hanging out with her sister.
What are you planning to do with this character? Hang out with Hope, get the heroes occasionally involved in more social causes.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: I know there’s Apocalypse stuff late in the pipeline.  Also, Avia will begin taking a good long look at her beliefs and whether or not they’re practical or can hold up.

Please include a sample post/scene
