Something about a California vintner father, an experimental (Crey? Why not?) fermentation system that she became trapped in, strange alteration of body chemistry that gave her both powers (Science origin, don&#8217;tcha know) and required an external droid assistant to monitor and stabilize said chemistry (and to whisper sweet nihilistic nothings in this little goth&#8217;s ear).  Now she&#8217;s a hero with a &#8216;tude off in big Paragon City, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.<br \/>\n(Wanted an origin that was something other than Magic.  So I took Science &#8212; could&#8217;ve done Technology &#8212; and of course immediately ended up fighting Vahzilok all the time, dammit.)<br \/>\nThat, and all sorts of wine-related puns apply.  She&#8217;s robust.  She&#8217;ll knock you on your ass.  She&#8217;s young and harsh, but might mellow with age.  Etc.<br \/>\nHer intent is &#8212; aside from scrapperly fun &#8212; to have someone I can run off and solo with in any spare non-Margie-around-to-duo-with time (and then not worry that I&#8217;m getting out of level balance with her or something).  Though Margie notes that scrapper-scrapper duos are also fun &#8230;<br \/>\nDunno if I&#8217;ll put her in the Consortium.  She is definitely not the sort that would want a team name floating over her head, let alone something pompous-sounding like &#8220;Consortium of Justice.&#8221;  Miss the channel chat, though.  Maybe I&#8217;ll eventually get her into the Allies.<br \/>\nAssuming my interest in her, vs. all my other alts, is maintained &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, her origin story is so lame that even I can&#8217;t take the time to dress it up with a straight face.
