Winter 2023 The elderly Asian man in the jean jacket and denim slacks might have attracted attention if he'd come into the liquor store any earlier, but it was late at night and the middle-aged clerk was obviously ready for his shift to end. He smiled at the clerk and placed the liquor and cigarettes on the counter. "Nice weather, we are having today." The man grunted, looked at his ID 'sorry sir, gotsta check everybody these days', then glanced at his security camera feed suspiciously for a moment before shrugging and accepting the older man's money. Still smiling, he walked outside with his bags under one arm, then walked out of view of the liquor store and into the darkness of the poorly lit streets of Greenbank. In between one step and the next, he blended away and vanished, replaced by a petite Japanese teenager whose ears and tail weren't visible at the moment, her clothes now a warm wool jacket and too-large slacks. She found her friends waiting for her at the edge of a nearby alley. "It was easy," she said, cooly handing her bags to Leon. They'd wound up bringing a curious bunch along for this evening out, Leon and Luke, the best of friends, Multi-Girl who she hadn't really gotten to know well despite the year they'd spent in each other's company, and of course - Carmen. "Nobody around here," she added confidently.

October 2021 Southside Serbian Orthodox Church (formerly) The Southside Serbian Orthodox Church had been a center for the Serbian community in this part of Freedom City since the turn of the last century. But though the Southside was still the working-class neighborhood it had been in 1900, now it was a neighborhood full of immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean, immigrants who had their own community centers and own churches. The SSOC (or St. Stephen's if you wanted to get technical) had stood vacant and abandoned for over a decade, a remnant of what had once been a thriving place. But now good times had come. The long-abandoned building had been sold to a local organization and was about to be refit into a community center and skatepark. In a few months, skilled artisans would come in and carefully remove the art that long-dead craftspeople had laid down on the walls and ceilings to a Serbian-American museum across town. But in the meantime, ten years of neglect means plenty of time for a lot of cruft to accumulate, cruft that a group of young metahumans were just right to handle discreetly. So it was that early one Saturday morning, the teenagers had been dropped off outside St. Stephen's with empty dumpsters, gloves and cleaning equipment, and all anyone could need to clean the place. They had permission to use their powers, even wear their costumes, albeit discreetly. "This is such a shame," said Owain, his usually-jovial face solemn as he stood outside the church's side entrance. "A house of God left abandoned for so long, and to lose what it was even if they save the bones of the place. I wot not wither to go with such a task," he admitted. "At least you don't have to smell it," commented Neko in Japanese, wrinkling her nose as she looked at the long-abandoned church. She had actually fallen asleep leaning against Owain on the ride over, which meant her ears and tail had been visible the whole time as they were dropped off and given their instructions.

GM Afternoon, September 25th Millennium Mall, Midtown Freedom City It was raining, hard. Like so many other teens, young adults and older, Muirne, Luke, Leon and Charlie had found their way to Millennium Mall to have something to do now that classes were out for the week. Something somewhere dry, hopefully. Bernadette, for her part, happened to be in the mall at the same time. Maybe just a single her, maybe several, or maybe it all depended on the moment. As one would expect on a day like this, the mall was absolutely packed. People everywhere, in stores, in the food court, well... everywhere. The PA system routinely mentioned events like clean up to the toilets on the 2nd floor, a missing child near a toy store, lost phones and the like.

OOC for this.

Claremont Academy Workout Room It was strange being back at Claremont after all these years. When she got asked if she wanted to mentor a student, she jumped at the chance. She was sitting in one of the work out areas, waiting patiently. She had sent a note along to Multi-Girl to ask her to come here instead of meeting elsewhere. She assumed the young woman would benefit from her particular areas of expertise; kicking down doors, kicking bad guy ass, and sneaking around when it was the smarter thing to do. She was vaguely aware that the young woman could make duplicates of herself. That was a neat trick, Mali reflected. She'd been in the heroism business for about ten years, and having a second Crimson Tiger around would certainly make that easier. She hadn't been there for long, and just needed to wait a few minutes.

Kord Dormitories, Third Floor Claremont Academy, Freedom City, New Jersey Saturday, September 4, 2021 The start of another school year was only a few days away, so unsurprisingly the Claremont Academy campus was abuzz with activity as parents and students descended on the school's dormitories. Amid this activity, a pair of teenage girls with bright red hair made their way from the parking lot toward the Rita Kord Dormitory. At first glance, one might have assumed the two girls were twins, except it was not just their features that were completely identical, they were both dressed in the exact same grey and black plaid skirt and white top. In fact, the only difference between the two was that one was carrying a suitcase and had a backpack over one shoulder, while the other was carrying a box. Bernadette O'Connell glanced back at her duplicate that was carrying the box behind her, letting out a slight sigh at the unintended display of her powers. The teen was glad that her older brothers had stayed up in Boston when her parents had driven her down for the start of the year at her new school, as there had been a few times where the family mini-van had gotten a bit too crowded. Hopefully this new school would help her learn to prevent things like that. Reaching the entrance of the building, the redhead glanced up towards the upper floors a moment before looking back down at the letter from the school that had her room assignment. "Alright, third floor, Room 308." She stated to her duplicate with a slight Irish accent, even though it was entirely unnecessary to communicate that out loud. Her other duplicate that was still back at the car with her parents also knew where the floor was located and could guide them up there when with the remainder of Bernadette's things.

Her thick red hair goes down to the middle of her back. She is rather pale skinned, with slight freckles on her checks and nose, as well on her shoulders and upper back. Her clothing style is generally typical of a teenage girl her age, though she tends to favor outfits that are more form fitting. Since her band has been growing its fan base, she has taken to often wearing dark jeans (often with tears in them) and black leather jackets. Since the Young Guardians reunited, Bernadette has begun wearing her own costume, a skintight, fully bodysuit (with gloves). The costume is primarily green, with large sections of orange and white (for the Irish flag), with a green utility belt and domino mask. History: Born in Dublin, Ireland, the youngest of three children, Bernadette’s family immigrated to the United States when she was eight years old. For most of her life, Bernadette seemed just your average Irish/Irish-American girl, perhaps a little stronger, faster or tougher than other girls her age, but still nothing too out of the ordinary. As she grew older, the young redhead naturally drifted to sports, first football (soccer) and later focusing on lacrosse. Three years ago, Bernadette accompanied her lacrosse team for a tournament in Freedom City. The team was at a game in Kingston when the 2018 Terminus invasion began. Thankfully, both teams and bystanders were all safely evacuated from the area, but not before being exposed to some of the energy from the Terminus. Unknown to Bernadette, this exposure awoke something that had long been dormant within her. Over a decade before Bernadette was born, her father had been a merchant marine aboard a cargo vessel docked in Freedom City when the 1993 Terminus invasion had occurred. Her father’s exposure to Terminus energy led to Bernadette being born with a latent connection to the Terminus. Her exposure during the 2018 invasion activated that connection. For the next few years, the activation this connection was generally unnoticeable. But toward the end of her Freshman year in high school, Bernadette had an unexpectedly late “growth spurt,” growing several more inches. At the same time, Bernadette continued to get stronger and stronger. Then, right after the end of the school year, Bernadette was out at a mall with several friends. It had seemed just another mall trip when Bernadette’s duplication power inadvertently activated. This caused Bernadette to panic and try to get away from her friends before they saw her with her duplicate. This just led to her activating more duplicates, which generally just created a bit of a chaotic and confusing scene at the mall. Headmistress Summers learned about the incident (generally caught on the mall’s surveillance cameras) and reached out to Bernadette’s family, who were struggling to figure out how to deal with their daughter’s sudden abilities. As a result, Bernadette began attending Claremont Academy in the fall of her Sophomore year. While at Claremont, she soon was caught up in the conflict between several of her classmates (Charlie Pratten, Nevermore II; Luke Landers, Nightscale; Muirne Sceadusangere, Shadowborne, Leon Moore, Paper, and others) against Sebastian Shields (Casanova) and his New Young Freedom. She was also placed on an intermural squad with fellow sophomores Neko Masume and Owain Celliwig (the Copper Knight). Over the years at Claremont Bernadette was part of the school’s music program, further developing her already strong singing voice while she debated her future. For a time, she continued to be uncertain about belonging in the superhero world or the possibility of ever making any sort of career out of her singing. During her time at Claremont, she became attracted to both Charlie and Owain, however Charlie disappeared from the school before his Senior year, leading Bernadette to focus more on her singing while still trying to continue the team Charlie had started with Leon, Luke and Murine. In August before the start of her Senior year, Bernadette was contacted by a Claremont alumna, Summer Sands, a talented guitar player who wanted Bernadette to join her in a music competition in Boston. The pair handily won the contest, and after a bizarre adventure in a musical dimension, they decided to form a band. When Bernadette returned for her final year at Claremont, she and Summer soon had found a bass player and drummer and started their band, Multiplicity. They began making recordings of cover songs which they posted on various social media and offered for download on various music services. Soon they were playing at local clubs around the city. Having become roommates with Neko (who had built a rather successful social media business) for their Senior year, Bernadette eventually enlisted her assistance with marketing their band. Soon enough, their following grew by leaps and bounds, including overseas, leading to their first overseas show in Tokyo, Japan. The band’s following has continued to grow since, as they have been working on an album of original songs to go along the covers they had been preforming. Additionally, just before the Winter Break of Bernadette’s last year at Claremont, Charlie returned to Freedom City and uncovered some plot by Sebastian Sheilds and those helping him. Charlie reassembled the Young Guardians, along with two new members, the young android, Pol Rothstein-Fraser (Shift) and an undead young woman, Viktorya Steinman (Ghule). Together, they managed to stop Sheilds and defeat a resurrected Conqueror Worm. After that, the Young Guardians officially reformed, operating out of a refurbished mansion in Bayview funded by the Raven family. Not wanting to miss this second opportunity with Charlie, Bernadette soon let him know about her feelings for him and was relieved to learn he had similar feelings for her and the two began a romantic relationship. Personality & Motivation: Growing up with two older brothers, Bernadette learned to stick up for herself. As a result she developed an outgoing and sometimes aggressive personality, which has often served her well in athletics. With those she considers friends, Bernadette is generally good natured, caring, and protective. She has made a number of good friends at Claremont, both fellow members of the Young Guardians and others. While certainly one to want to have fun, coming from a blue-collar family, Bernadette grew up with a strong work ethic, and can get very focused and serious when she needs to. Powers & Tactics: Bernadette has learned to fully control summoning her duplicates and often has several active at once around campus or the Young Guardian’s mansion. She and her duplicates have learned to work well together (something she regularly practices with lacrosse drills with multiple duplicates active at once). While at Claremont Academy, Bernadette had the opportunity to undergo martial arts/boxing training to help improve her hand-to-hand skills, combined with her increased coordination, she has become a much more effective fighter than when she began at the school. Additionally, after starting to spend time with other members of the Young Guardians over the years has led to her improving her stealth. Other than increased strength, dexterity, constitution and durability, Bernadette’s powers allow her to run much faster than a normal human and leap considerable distances with ease. But her primary power is the ability to summon duplicates of herself which have similar strength, durability and speed. Bernadette is able to use her duplicates in a number of ways, including unleashing a number of duplicates to deliver targeted melee attacks on all enemies within a forty foot radius of her when she activates her power. She is also able to work with a number of duplicates to tackle an opponent and bury them under a pile of duplicates. Working together, Bernadette and several of her duplicates are capable of lifting approximately 40 tons. Complications: T-Baby: Bernadette’s powers originate from the Terminus incursion of 1993 and 2018, there are those that are frightened or hate so call “T-Babies.” Fame: Bernadette and her band have started to gain a level of fame, not just in Freedom City, but around the world. As such, it is not uncommon for people to recognize her now, which can cause problems.
