Lawrence and Patrice Sereza, happily married heroes; Blue Shift and Red Shift.
Between them they brought about justice through their light and energy based powers.
They had two children, a boy and a girl; Viola and Martin.
Both children displayed from an early age their own abilities. Direct copies of their parents; fate already expected them to take over the roles of Blue and Red Shift in the future.

Under the tutelage of their parents, the children became highly skilled in the use of their powers, the girl all too eager to become her mother's sidekick.
The boy, was less enthusiastic. Martin did not cope with the weight of responsibility, and so when asked to assist his father on missions as Red Shift's sidekick, he often refused, but not always.

It was a disastrous day when Blue and Red Shift, accompanied by their children, (then Microwave and Ultraviolet) ventured into the lair of a shadow manipulator.
Despite the vast light of their powers, the villain proved a far more powerful adversary then they expected.
Microwave was the first to fall. Martin Sereza's courage faltered and the shadows consumed him.
Struck by despair Blue and Red Shift fell next.
Ultraviolet, ran.

Viola keeps that traumatic day locked away. As the current Blue Shift, she doubts she could ever do justice to her mother's legacy.

• Dark Light - Blue Shift's primary ability. Originally as a hero-in-training she simply projected extreme high-power light from her left hand and eyes. However ever since the disaster in the mountain, her light has always been of an eerily purple-blue hue that dims bright places, though still illuminating the dark.
• Shift Skin - A power she claims to have no control over, like her heartbeat. She is always bathed in a skin-tight barrier that protects her from harm. Despite her small stature, the passive barrier is very durable, more so than any external shields she can generate.
  
• Light Barriers - Alongside her passive shield, she is able to surround herself and others in an external 'bubble' of protective light. These are weaker than her passive shield but fairly durable.
  
• Bright Flight - By rapidly emitting rays of light she can propel herself through the air. Flight with a lightshow.

• Human - Break through her shields and you'll find the weak fleshy human beneath.
  
• Impermeable Darkness - Though she is a bringer of light, her light is dim. A powerful wielder of shadows could overpower her.
  
• Telepathy - Her mental fortitude is hindered by the loss of her family, psionics are very effective against her, worse still her shields do little to prevent psychic attacks.
  
• Mirrors - Self explanatory, reflecting and refracting is an effective counter to her powers.
  

Appearance

• Young Face, Old Eyes Overly saturated with blue, her eyes seem to be lit from behind. However...her gaze sees something far away and the light behind her eyes gives the effect of repressed tears. Or perhaps, she really is holding back her emotions.
  
• Superheroes Wear Capes Despite the obvious shortcomings of a cape, Blue Shift wears her cape with pride. Mainly because her parents wore capes and...capes are cool, right?
  
• In The Hood Because a mask just isn't enough to keep her identity secret.
  

Personality

• Hurting Hero It's undeniable that Blue Shift hurts inside. Who can blame her after what happened? Despite this, she's a closed book on her past and can be slightly difficult in social situations.
• Don't you dare pity me Though she tries not to give anything away, particularly intuitive people may coin her to be one plagued by a dark past. Any attempts at sympathy are met with hostility, which does essentially confirm any suspicions on the matter.
• Pride As the descendent of two high-profile heroes, Blue Shift has a legacy to uphold. Does she think she'll ever match her mother? No. But she'll never do anything she believes could shame her parents.
  

Combat and Skills

• Frickin Laser Beams! Blue Shift shoots lasers from her eyes and her left hand. That is all.
  
• Hard Light and Deflector Shields Light shields at face value sound ridiculous, you can't shield yourself with light! This is hard light, and it's durable as hell.
  
• Yin-Yang Bomb Not quite an accurate description, Blue Shift does not use bombs. However her light is also dark, it is a mixture of shadow and light. In absolute darkness her power is still functional but can be snuffed out, as mentioned earlier. She is at a disadvantage against darkness, whereas pure light would not. However, her power dims bright places, so she is at an advantage against light, perhaps more so than pure shadows as her light absorbs other light, whereas shadow seeks merely to smother light entirely.
  

Morality

• Good Is Not NiceIt's true that Blue Shift is absolutely a hero. Given the brutality she has witnessed at the hands of villainy, she simply isn't smiles and sunshine when it comes to heroism.
  
• Legacy CharacterThere has been more than one Blue Shift, as such the moral compass has been passed on. Protecting those weaker than herself and so on.
  
• Not so different Blue Shift avoids killing, that much is clear, her parents were very forceful about that. NO KILLING. However having seen her family killed before her eyes, she does tend to test the limits of a villain and often has to hold herself back before she goes too far.
