The Grey Osprey was created in another superhero MMO, during a hiatus from the game. I've always been a fan of the non-powered hero, because those guys have to work really hard to hang with the heavy hitters. A lot of Osprey's inspiration came from comic book heroes such as Batman, Robin, Nightwing, Hawkeye (Clint Barton), Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) and Green Arrow. She's grown a lot in the three years I've role-played with her, has had a lot of ups and certainly has had her share of downs as well. To get a more detailed picture of her background, please visit Osprey's :VirtueVerse page.

Osprey is...well...sort of an odd duck. She's downright OCD in some areas, though thankfully those areas happen to be in her civilian life and not hero line of work. It's hard to really throw her off guard with information that would normally freak someone out. She tends to take such information...and either ask questions (as in a lot of questions) or she just says something along the lines of 'now that's cool' and moves on. When pursuing something of interest, albeit a lead she's following or a topic she's googling, she tends to be pretty dogged in her search for answers. It's hard to get her to quit, and sometimes in her pursuit for answers she develops a bit of tunnel vision, losing situational awareness and easily opening herself up for ambush.

She's currently coping with PTSD stemming from being captured by by a group of psychics. Most apparent sign of her condition would be anxiety in the presence of psychics and in certain social situations (such as clubs, raves, or members of the group that held her captive). She suffers flashbacks on occasion. So far her condition is mild (though with the course of RP this may change....we'll just have to see in that regard).

Andrea Ellis was born on April 21st, 1992, in an alternate dimension, in a major metropolitan city in Rhode Island. Her parents, Richard Ellis and Rachel McCray-Ellis, were very wealthy, and as such she was born into a life of privilege. Despite that, she developed into a very grounded individual. Her father was perhaps the greatest influence in her life, even when frequent business trips took him away from his wife and daughter. Never once did Andie think to question just where her father was going or why he tended to show up home so late. She didn't find out why until after an alien invasion in 2002.

When the first reports of invaders started hitting the airwaves, Richard's first thought was to get his family out of danger. He pulled Rachel and Andie along, pushing through throngs of fleeing evacuees, until he got them to the nearest shelter. One moment he was shoving them in the door, and when she turned around he was gone. It was the last time she saw him. He was killed in the first day of heavy fighting. Andie and her mother didn't find out until a few days later, when her uncle John delivered the news.

It was a devastating blow, and much of the next few days was just a blur for her. She remembers people she had never met before coming and shaking her hand, offering condolences, telling her how her father was a good man. After the funeral, she shut herself in her dad's office so she could get away from it all. She saw his computer sitting there, logged in, and it was then she noticed something odd on his desktop, something she hadn't seen before. It took her the better part of the night to get into it, but when she did manage to crack it, she found out his secret.

He was the Grey Osprey, a masked hero that had been operating since before she was born. All those late nights, those business trips, they all made sense now. And it made sense now why her father had gone back out into the city during the Invasion. He'd gone back to help other people. Her father had been a hero. And she was determined to do the same.

Many years later, Osprey became an accomplished hero in her own right, no longer working in the shadow of her father's illustrious reputation. Much of what she learned, she learned through trial and error, and through sheer determination. She helped many people, and certainly made her fair share of mistakes. One such mistake left her with psychological damage, stemming from being captured by a notorious psychic and her minions. She made many friends along the way, and eventually she became a member of the Teen Phalanx, a group of extraordinary young heroes. She worked her way up through the ranks, and now is one of the leaders of the group.
