Biography

Jill is a hero that draws power from the various Nightmare realms. She is intelligent and driven, but often awkward in social situations. Jill was born in Millennium City, with an odd sense that she had lived this life before. In her early teens, she began to have dreams of past lives, many of which she claims ended all too soon in bloody orgies of violence. Jill now has sleep issues and often goes on “runs” or patrols when she can’t sleep.

Jill believes that all her lifetimes are manifestations of a single soul or principle that returns to the physical world throughout various alternate dimensions and timelines to settle some kind of score. The force always manifests itself as a young woman with extraordinary abilities. Jill’s dreams hint that not all her previous incarnations have been heroes, and this leaves her wondering exactly what this entity’s goals are. Lately, Jill’s dreams have expanded, and she seems to be having the nightmares of everyone around her. She could dream about having an abortion if a teen neighbor is having a pregnancy scare, or of a kidnapping if someone is concerned about losing their children.


Powers and Skills

Shadow Control

Jill pulls extra dimensional magic from the various Nightmare planes. Though entropic in nature, the energy is not Qliphothic, nor is it completely the stuff of the Netherworld. The energy and substance of the shadow is a manifestation of entropy shaped by the world around it. The anxieties and fears of people leave their mark on the world. Eventually these bits of anti-reality form their own tiny pockets of anti-reality, which then can coalesce into Nightmare realms.

The most basic levels of shadow control are fairly natural to Jill, and she can do simple manipulations all day long without issue or much concentration. She manipulates existing mundane shadows, and can create shadows where they are impossible. Her more powerful abilities require quite a bit of concentration and sometimes time to build up enough energy to perform feats. Her control will develop throughout her life. There are three basic types of control Jill possesses.

Shadow Step

Jill can step from one shadow to another, effectively teleporting herself and a small amount of gear almost instantly. Jill can perform jumps like this almost effortlessly, though it may tire her if she has to jump repeatedly in a short period of time. Further, Jill can use the same principle to enchant her pockets, allowing her to carry a varied assortment of gear, if necessary. Jill has one such shadow space with several changes of clothes. Another of Jill’s tricks is the ability to open small shadow wormholes while being attacked, allowing her to redirect enemy fire. This does take a great deal of concentration, and is almost all Jill can do at a time. It’s most useful for when she has no cover and has to buy herself time. There is one limitation: Jill cannot redirect positive energy attacks, they merely dissipate on any of the enchanted shadows.

Shadow Manipulation

Jill can animate shadows as shadow matter. When animate, shadows generally feel sticky or gel-like, but possess great tensile strength. They are also uncomfortably cold to any being that is not cold resistant. She can solidify shadows and cause them to cling to opponents, shape solid shadows into simple structures, and imbue these shadows with a basic level of volition. A shadow animated to restrain a villain will not stop if the villain somehow changes shape, for instance. However, if the villain gets too far away, the shadow generally will revert to its normal form. (This ensures that the villain still has a shadow, possibly for use later.) Damage done by this type of shadow is generally through crushing, twisting, or exposure to cold. Restraining shadows are generally fixed in place, but manifested shadow creatures are not, and can move and attack with their own volition. If they are not within Jill’s line of sight, they are relatively dumb, and often dissipate. She can maintain shadows outside her line of sight,--with full control over their actions and its senses--but this takes a great deal of concentration.

Shadow Energy Projection

Jill can call forth blasts of shadow energy. The default level of damage for these blasts without any sort of build up is roughly the force of a 90 mph fastball. More concentration, mystic gestures, chanting and continuous buildup can make these blasts far more powerful. The blasts involve potent entropic energy, so with preparation and concentration, she can make these lethal to almost any living or nonliving threat. Damage done by her blasts tends to be cold and necrotic, though Jill can weave in concussion damage for softer enemies. At low levels of damage, they look like bruises tinged with frostbite, while an individual pulverized by shadow damage will appear partially putrefied and disintegrated by freezer burn. Too many extremely powerful blasts can tax her concentration and ability to shield herself from her own entropy. An extensive amount of handling shadow energy can conceivably be fatal to Jill.

Psychic Manipulation

A natural result of Jill's connection with the Nightmare is a sensitivity to certain psychic impressions and, with practice, the ability to modify some of those impressions far beyond the normal or natural.

Empathy/Telepathy

Currently, Jill’s powers are rooted in empathy, and she can sense emotions. Jill is also able to radiate emotions to immobilize and disorient her foes. Jill currently lacks more than the most basic levels of training with these powers. With time, Jill will be able to use true telepathy and engage in more potent manipulation of others’ minds. Jill's psychic powers have the potential to kill a living target through systemic panic and strain, but to do so would take an extended, purposeful effort not within her normal capabilities. Typically, her attacks inflict vertigo or sensory overload on her opponents. Currently, Jill cannot affect machines and similar things without minds with these abilities.

Danger Sense

Jill isn’t as sturdy as many heroes, but her psychic abilities allow her to evade damage and find cover at the appropriate times. She is typically able to dodge damage at least once in a situation. Jill has to get behind cover, or make some, quickly though, as extended use of danger sense tires her quickly, and isn’t as reliable in a pitched firefight. Danger sense does not extend to Jill’s companions. A sniper targeting someone next to Jill will not trigger danger sense unless the bullet would pierce the target and hit Jill. A person about to step on a mine that would harm Jill would trigger danger sense, but someone slightly out of range will not.

Other Magic

Jill can perform other spells above and beyond shadow manipulation. The catch is that she often has to use material components for maximum effect, or spend time etching sigils in some surface, bloodletting, etc. Jill is a capable witch for her young age, but she does not have the same exceptional talent for these other types of magic, however. Thus she has to study hard. She is young, and has only picked up a small smattering of other spells, though she is well-read with regard to magic in general.

Skills

Unlike many traditional mages, Jill has nothing against technology and really loves computers. Currently, she is planning on a computer science degree at the local community college. As a high school dropout, however, she does have some prerequisites to work on, which she is planning on starting this fall. Jill is good with her hands and brain, and likes to tinker with hacking and similar activities. She still has much to learn about these enterprises, though, and so isn’t very good. She also has access to a hacking machine that is separate from her normal computer and is protected by a variety of countermeasures.

Equipment

While Jill is technically a normal seventeen year old girl, she does have skills of note, as a result of her teenage crime fighting experiences.

Jill has combat training from her dad's old bodyguard, a former Navy SeAL. (This does not mean that she has the exact same training as a SeAL, which would be ridiculous at her age.) She knows how to handle herself under pressure, take cover in a firefight, and a variety of self-defense techniques. She is in excellent shape, and skilled in parkour and diving. She maintains her training now without personal instruction.

Generally, Jill prefers to use her own powers. However, she does include a modicum of gear to make her life as a crime fighter easier. Jill's personal gear generally includes a "travel kit" of spell components, enough to perform a smattering of rituals. She has several plastic bags for evidence, a number of heavy duty cable ties (handcuffs), and a heavily modified Hello Kitty taser. Typically, she carries a light first aid kit on her person.

When the situation calls for it, Jill has been known to use firearms, specialized gear, flashbangs and other custom ammunition. Her sister, Katie, is a certified genius and has given her easy-to-follow instructions for making a variety of devices potentially useful to crimefighters. Typically, she has a couple flashbangs and smoke bombs on her person, as well as one or two custom grenades. She is known to use “glop” grenades to restrain enemies, “blind” grenades that scramble robotic sensors, and “cryo” or freeze grenades. Others may be available on a case by case basis.


Weaknesses

Albino

Jill suffers from albinism. Her body does not produce enough pigment. As such, she sunburns very easily, and has to cover up from the sunlight as much as possible.

Celestial Light and Fire

As a being of shadow, Jill also has problems with celestial magic. She cannot be healed by celestial means, and attempts to do so actually cause her pain. Celestial fire and light are also more effective against her as attacks. Her inner shadows can compensate against such things, but she has to use a great deal of energy to do so. When confronted by such attacks, Jill often flees. Note that Jill is not evil, and attacks that specifically target evil creatures do not harm her. It is the fact that celestial fire and light are diametrically opposed to darkness, which infuses Jill in significant amounts.

Comment Wall

"Jill is constantly impressing me. It isn't any secret that I find her bright, beautiful, and a blast to hang around with. The shadows are part of who she is, but there is something unusually gorgeous about that. The union of light and dark; the unique blend of balance and harmony. Or at least that is how I see her." ~ Limerick


"It has been awhile since I've had time to hang out with DD, but we've had some fun times. Sure she can feel a little morbid at times, but she can also have this wonderful sense of humor if you give her the chance." ~ Vixen


"Jill was the first to step up to my defense when others questioned the source of my powers and my beliefs. She barely knew me at that point. She's been my friend ever since. She's... the first best friend I've ever had. I think that, together, we sort of balance each other out, not just in terms of powers but in personality as well." ~ Faith
