Backstory: Grace Danvers is the only child of Carol Danvers, also known as Ms.Marvel, and the result of her relationship with Simon Williams, also known as Wonder Man. When she found out that she was pregnant with Simon's child, Carol dropped off the superhero radar, telling her fellow Avengers that she had to deal with a "family crisis". The only member of her team that knew that Carol was pregnant with Simon's baby was Steven Rogers, or Captain America, who swore to her that he would never tell a soul.
After she gave birth to Grace, Ms. Marvel all but dropped off of the radar as a superhero, making the odd appearance every now and then, but mostly focusing on raising Grace. Not wanting to risk Grace to exposure, Carol never told the media that she had a child, and passing off Grace as the daughter of her brother, Joseph, to anyone that tried to pinpoint Grace as being Carol's daughter. Grace, why she knew that her mother was also known as the superhero Ms. Marvel, was never told the name of her father, and whenever she asked, Carol was just simply inform Grace that she herself wasn't sure who her father was. And whenever Grace even attempted asking Joseph, it was waved off.
At age fourteen, Grace's powers slowly began to manifest, when she discovered that she was able to lift the kitchen table over her head and not break a sweat. Carol began to worry what other powers that her daughter also inherited, and gave Grace strict instructions not to use her newly discovered strength, or tell anyone that she knew, including Joseph. The rest of her superhuman powers came slowly, and each one as bizarre to her as the next. The last to come were her photonic blasts, which she discovered one day by accidentally wiping out her family's mailbox.
After this incident, Grace begged her mother to tell her who her father was. Carol, like every other time that Grace asked her, refused, telling her that it was for the best that she didn't know. Not taking no for an answer, Grace began to research all of her mothers past relationships, looking for clues as to who her father might be. It took her a long time, but eventually she was able to find that her father was an old boyfriend of her mother's Simon Williams, better known as the hero Wonder Man. Furious that her mother never told her that her father was also a superhero, and even more irate that she was never able to know the man, Grace left her mother a hastily written note, and set off to Los Angeles, abandoning her senior year of high school to find her father.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Showing up on the Defender's doorstep, looking for Simon.
What are you planning to do with this character?: Grace doesn't know if she wants to follow in her parents footsteps, and pursue the superhero career. For now, she's just trying to get to know and forge a relationship with her father. Though I wouldn't have any objection to her getting into some of the action and helping out the Defenders on occasion....
What do you want to see happen with this character?: See above.
Sample post:
Grace made her way off the train, luggage in hand. She'd grabbed enough clothes and money to last her at least a month, at best
Now...to find a place to stay and focus on the task at hand, to why she even traveled this far from home.
To find her father, Simon Williams, and at least try to let him know that she existed.
Her stomach growled. Okay, so she'd find a place to stay after she grabbed a bite to eat.
Making her way out of the train station, Grace looked up at the night sky. It was different from what she was used to. At home, at least, she could make out the stars. Here they seemed lost in the lights of the city.
She was halfway down the street when she found herself grabbed from behind, and yanked down an alleyway, barely given time to react.
"Heya toots," a cold, ragged male voice came from behind her. "What's yer rush?"
"Yeah," came another voice, "What's yer hurry."
"Let me go," Grace said, her voice growing darker.
"I dunno, toots," Thug One said, his hand traveling down her backside. "We haven't had any fun all day...and a pretty little girl like you comes along..."
Grace gritted her teeth. "Don't say I didn't warn you."
A leg is then sent straight in between the man's legs.
"Ya little bitch!" He let her go, dropping to his knees. "GET HER!!" He turned to his partner, snarling.
The other thug, shaking from Grace's sudden display of power, pulled a gun out and pointed it at her. "Ya shouldn't have done that, missy."
Grace was angry now. She'd had a long trip here, she was starving, and she was tired. She just wanted to find some hotel to crash for the night. She didn't have time to deal with this.
A small photonic blast is sent at the man's gun. "You really don't want to do that." She narrowed her eyes at them, her feet lifting off the ground a little.
The man started shaking. "I think we better get out of here...." he said, turning to his partner, "She's some kind of mutant freak."
The other man got up slowly, glaring at Grace as she ran off in the direction of his partner.
Grace smirked narrowly, turning around and making her way to the nearest hotel.
Maybe she'd forgo stopping to get a bite to eat and just get something out of the vending machine at the hotel...
