Wingstorm

Context

This character is an original creation. We often call these “homemades” or “homebrewed” – think home cooking or craft beer.

Many of these characters were created to take part in tabletop role-playing game sessions.

Others were invented as a creative writing exercise, often as part of a community event. This specific character was part of a RPG campaign run by writeups.org contributor Bil.

Powers and Abilities

Wingstorm constantly generates quasi-psionic  blades of pure force. These are clustered in groups sprouting from her shoulder blades, and take an effort of will to suppress. She uses these blades most often as wings, fluttering them and spinning them like wings of energy.

However, she has also learned how to:

• Make slashing attacks with her “wings”.
• Send one or more pairs of blades out at a ranged target.
• Shield herself with the spinning blades.

History

After being kicked out of her home for being a “mutie”, she found herself at the door of the Mendolsson Memorial Hostel for Displaced Metahumans.

At first highly reluctant to use her wings at all, but has recently begun to see that her powers are needed, even if she doesn’t like them.

Description

A lovely young lady, with wings composed of myriad spinning blades. Her clothes require no special tailoring, but she must consciously suppress the wings to dress herself. Her costume is usually a silver leotard with silver tights, and no sleeves.

Personality

Sherry is a sweet young girl, with a continually sad smile. She is depressed about being different, but the examples of Darkenwulf and Black Tiger, both far more distant from the basic human phenotype than herself, inspires her. In fact, she has ’adopted‘ the two as big brothers.

She has recently begun to come out of her emotional exile, and join the two in pranks… something that both worries and reassures most of the other residents of the Hostel.

DC Universe History

Wingstorm is just the type of character that could be added to Young Justice… except that the girls already there might get jealous of her. Anyway, I really can’t figure out how to fit her in.
