Create your own Superhero/Villian

1.  What’s your Superhero/Villian’s name?  What’s their Alibi? (e.g. Superman is Clark Kent)

Her name is Mira Dethridge, also known by protagonists as “Snake Eyes”. 

2. What type of origin story do they have? (Trauma, Destiny, or Chance)

Trauma: (see below for a bit more context, you’ll be less confused) 

When Mira and her twin brother, Arson, were born, their mother was single and couldn’t afford to take care of them. She took a ship from Eldin to the Mainland, trying to find a safe place with good people to raise her children. She eventually stumbled upon a Riesen town (very kind and good people, abilities based on the heart–ex: lie detecting) and left the children with a note and the only money she had left on the doorstep of a woman named Magdalene Rieyers. Magdalene raised Mira and Arson as her own. Eventually the children started showing signs of their abilities–and though there had been warnings in the note, Magdalene and the Riesens were not prepared to train the children. Mira and Arson, without training, struggled to keep their abilities under control, and with it, the Riesens' fear grew. Mira eventually befriended a boy named Everett Meander who helped the best he could. As their friendship grew, Mira began to feel more anchored, but Arson couldn’t find a hold and eventually lost control of his fire, and this terrified the Riesens. The tribe summoned an Elysian Soulweaver to Strip the children of their abilities. (Basically, this process is painful, and there’s a residual pain/emptiness that lasts a very long time). Arson resisted the Strip and was killed. Mira, having done nothing to deserve any of this, decided she would not rest until every Soulweaver and–anyone who supported the Strip–had suffered. This eventually turns into a whole power game where she wants to just have control over everything and she gets rid of anyone who doesn’t support her–basic supervillain stuff.

3. What makes them special?  Do they have superpowers (like Wonder Woman) or are they an “ordinary” person (like Tony Stark/Iron Man)?

Technically, it’s both. In the world my novel takes place in, everybody has a sort of special ability. There are 12 different “categories” of abilities, four of which are elemental. Your type of ability originates from the tribe you were born in. Mira was born in Eldin, so she has fire.

4. What’s their “day job”?  Aka what do they do when they aren’t fighting crime or trying to wreak havoc?

Mira basically lives for wreaking havoc, so I don’t know if I can justify answering this question… haha just kidding. She pretty much sits on her throne in “her” castle making plans 

5. Do they have a sidekick? If yes, what does their sidekick do? (e.g. Batman & Robin or Joker & Harley Quinn)

She has many “sidekicks” throughout the series. They mostly work in the “field” and do a lot of preparation for her plans.

6.  Draw your superhero/villian! (And remember: “NO CAPES!” -Edna Mode)

(I’ve done two or three different pieces of her using Procreate, so they’re digital. The lighting is pretty different in both the pieces and I improved a lot from the first one to the second.)

And then, just for fun, I’ll throw in one that I did of the protagonist, Hadley Harlow
