− | Veronica Vincento was the child of Dimitri "The Truth" Vincento and a woman known only as "Nuit", being raised in what was restored of the ruins of Detroit. Her father was the leader of a pocket of the Italian Mafia who cast her onto a woman within his prostitution ring. This exposed Veronica to drug addiction, sexual activity, profanity, and poverty at an extremely early age. Sadly, the shelter of a place to live would become a thing of the past when an altercation forced Veronica to turn to a life on the streets. Left alone to fend for herself, Veronica resorted to theft and using her age to her advantage. She would trick men and women that had enough heart to take her into their home only to steal what money she could find and any valuables she could carry that seemed able to fetch a good price. As she struggled to survive, she began to grow spiteful towards everyone that wasn't in her position, believing them to be an insult to her pain. This eventually developed into a dire sense of insecurity and an alternative coping method where she disassociated herself to some of the extreme conditions of her existence.

− | After a few years of miraculous survival on the harsh streets of Detroit, she eventually was found and taken in by her father; he discovered her situation and had a small sense of responsibility to provide for her. This, however, came with a price as Veronica was inofficially indoctrinated into his pocket of the Italian Mafia and was given tasks to perform in the name of the family. She was told to continue living in the same fashion she had been, but with the ability to come to designated safehouses for food or shelter whenever it was truly needed. This lifestyle continued until she reached her preadolescence. It was then that she had her first encounter with a near-death experience when she suffered an assault by a rival gang to her father who knew of her association. During this confrontation, Veronica was forced to run in fear only to find herself within the middle of a concert of various bands on the streets. Hiding amidst the crowd she heard the sounds of gunshots which threw the crowd into a paniced frenzy while the criminals made demands to find a small girl in the crowd. A single man stepped towards the criminals while Veronica hid to watch on as this individual dispatched the assailants with ease.

| | | |
− | Taking inspiration from the man's bravery and not wanting to feel helpless again, Veronica began to train herself by mimicing what she had seen growing up; she began watching bodybuilders at the gym, fighters within the underground fight clubs, or other various outlets to further perform this goal. In combination to her active lifestyle, she slowly was becoming a very physically fit woman, unaware of the innate gifts she had harnessing her efforts to make progress seem beyond the normal rate. For the next three years, she trained and performed criminal activity in the name of the family until her fateful encounter with a man known as "Bacchanal".
| |
| | | |
− | Bacchanal was able to get the fifteen year old Veronica to grow comfortable with his presence by spoiling her with her wants or needs in a more direct manner than her father ever did. After learning of her lifestyle, he convinced the young woman of her father's manipulation and managed to get her to fight back against the family with him. However, it would start until much later. Instead, she left the family a note of her leaving and turned to living with Bacchanal at a rundown apartment within one of the most dangerous neighborhoods within Detroit. She would soon become involved with the Maniacs and the concept of freedom, anarchy, and anti-government idealogies. Bacchanal put Veronica up to becoming a member of the gang but understanding that together they would become the leaders and take over the group.

− | Given the time of the day to actually not be reduced to mere survival she took an interest in music and the guitar. After learning enough to actually use it, she and a few of the other younger friends she had made involved with the Maniacs began performing street performances that spoke of the foundations and idealogies of anarchy and the anti-governmental aspects. When the notice of their success the Maniacs and Bacchanal taught them a way to plant subtle recrutiment pitches to their listeners which began to slowly bolster the Maniacs numbers. Being the vocalist and guitarist of this small inofficial band, she slowly made a reputation for herself over the year this continued. After turning sixteen Bacchanal made her begin working with him towards their coup d'etat.
| + | Veronica is the child of Dimitri "The Truth" Vincento and Domanika Jelen, born into the restoring ruins of Detroit, Michigan and conceived as a safety measure against a secret society. It was the plans of Domanika that she would conceive a child through optimized breeding to shape into a failsafe should the Vril-Ya fail in their planned conquest of the surface. Veronica was intended to be the individual responsible for keeping a pure lineage to the original Vril-Ya. However, Dimitri was wanting an heir to the criminal syndicate he had fought so hard to establish and upon discovery of his child being a girl, he turned on Domanika. Casting the woman back to the Czech Republic post-birth, Dimitri then gave up Veronica to a prostitute who expressed interest in raising the child as her own. |
| | | |
− | Their relationship slowly developed into one of intimacy while they worked their way up the ranks and established a foothold within the gang's influence. They began to set up the steps and planned a very maliciously intentful event that would later become known as the Black Parade. The event involved a marching parade of floats and Maniacs or others that decided to involve themselves with the attack and decleration of war to the State of Michigan. Although it was very short lived before being stopped by a group of heroes, bombs, molotovs, murders, and kidnappings had caused quite a destructive path in the parade's wake. It was here however, that Veronica was arrested by a man known as Captain Valor of the TASK Force 5. Realizing the kind of life his prisoner, Veronica, might have lived he took it upon himself to give her a second chance at life and took her under his wing and instated her into a Reformation Program under the tutelage and custody of TASK Force 5 and their alliance with Viridian Assembly and the Order of the Sapphire Phoenix.
| + | This exposed Veronica to drug addiction, sexual activity, profanity, and poverty during the earliest stages of her life. By the age of four, she was making trips to local corner stores near the apartment complex she lived in to steal bare minimum groceries for both herself and her mother. This carried on for a few months until the shelter of a place to live came to an abrupt end when an altercation within her home forced Veronica onto the streets. A man drunk and angry at the world had visited her mother for 'business reasons' and Veronica got struck for getting in the way of the door. This left her alone to fend for herself where she resorted to more theft and manipulation to survive. Over two years she used her young age to allude men and women with caring hearts to take her into their home so she could make off with a free meal and sell valuables later. The young Veronica began to grow spiteful towards the world that wasn't in her position, believing them only an insult to her suffering. Eventually, it developed into a dire sense of insecurity and coping methods where she dissociated herself to numb the severity of her living conditions. |
| | | |
− | Aware of her position, Veronica accepted the opportunity provided to her through the charity of the heroes. They performed physical and mental examinations which led to the discovery of not only her seemingly mutant abilities, but of the mental manipulation from a telepath from Bacchanal himself. Infuriated and outraged at always being used she lashed out at anyone and everyone with a jaded passive-aggressiveness which often led her into more trouble than what others thought she was worth. Despite the strong disagreements from the majority of those charged with helping her move forward in this reformation period, due to the efforts of her mentors she remained while she fell into a breif period of reclusiveness.
| + | The two years passed fast enough with miraculous results but she eventually would make the wrong move. It came in the form of trying to work her charms over on Giovanni Piedmont, a man who owned a local gym that played host to the Vincento fight circuit. Being caught stealing, Piedmont had took it upon himself to show the girl the possibilities of what could happen if she steals from the wrong person again. He took her to a meeting of the Vincento mafia where she witnessed a man lose a finger due to his theft from the family at the hands of her own father unbeknowest at the time. When it was her turn to 'be made an example of', Dimitri hesitated for reasons unknown to the others. He saw Veronica's golden eyes and knew it was his daughter somehow surviving for two years after the prostitute reported her missing. He ordered Piedmont to take her in and inofficially indoctrine her into their pocket of the Italian mafia. |
| | | |
− | What most didn't know is that behind the scenes, Veronica adopted her first alter-ego and turned to fighting against both Maniac and the Italian Mafia together with the name Vendetta. The first few weeks of her efforts caught the attention of a group of vigilantes known as the Great Lakes vigil Watch and another group known as Mask. They utilized very violent and questionable methods to bring justice and clean up the streets and she ultimately succeeded in chasing Bacchanal out of town. Her father, however, was a different story. She took the man's life after a very violent confrontation in which placed her under the attention of the MCPD. To ensure her alter-ego was undiscovered, veronica feigned her death and replaced her body with a woman known as Yasmin Sullivan. After her two goals were complete and realizing the blood on her hands along with the mistakes she has made in life, she continued with the Reformation program with tightly sealed lips.
| + | Weeks later, Veronica was working the streets in the Vincento name, performing small tasks that were designed to be low-key supplements to larger crimes later down the line. Due to Giovanni's living situation with his wife and son unaware of his involvement with the criminal underworld, he could only offer Veronica a hotel room every so often. Thus, she continued to life on the streets but with a gained purpose and designated safehouses for low rations and shelter. |

− | Her time in reformity ended with her being released a free woman and under the custody of her mentor, Tachki, an ex-VIPER forced into Moreau's experimentation to transform into a manimal with feline genes. Drifting about with little direction, she turned to her life on the streets again due to its comfortability and broke into clubs and bars with a fake identification. One of these club dives is where she was met with a half-elven woman she became friends with known as Natasha Roy. She found an odd sense of comfort around this woman and began to frequent not only the club to search for her but her home as well. She was distraught and loaded with emotional baggage, but Veronica was able to lay it all down to her, which ultimately inspired her to pick up heroics once more. She joined up with a temporary company known as M.I.S.T until she found herself in a stablilized financial situation.
| + | <font size="+1"><font color=990000>'''Birth of a Punk</font>'''</font><br><br> |
| | | |
− | Her continued efforts within the heroic field rapidly gained her a small margin of recognition within the community as a city-wide figure of vigilantism. Anarchy had re-emerged in a new light, and was only just getting started. She had fully began to dedicate herself to being a true-blue hero as the inspirational figures like Thundrax or Vanguard until the first Destroid Invasion marking Destroyer's return. Demonstrating her training in full, she was once again focused on Westside and civilian evacuation all the way up into the Mega-Destroid attack on Champions Headquarters. Donning on a temporary armored suit she took the fight to the large enemies. However, somewhere in the midst of the fight she took a stray beam from an unknown enemy which pierced the suit and suffered a near fatal injury. She called for assistance but unfortunately wasn't heard due to reasons. Divael luckily found her and got her to safety for medical attention.
| + | At the age of seven, not shortly after her birthday, Veronica was taking a leisurely stroll through the streets of Detroit. There she encountered a gathering of individuals enjoying a street performance of a band called The Drowning Jocks in a plaza. Despite her age, the group welcomed her to enjoying the gathering and music and even asked her questions related to who she was. For the first time, she felt welcomed and it had certain left its impression. Veronica began to emulate their fashion sense, listen to their music, and sought them out to continue exposure. She was turning herself into a punk and striving to become a member of its community despite her age. One woman in particular was the one who caught her eye however, in the form of the band's bassist, Kami Viridian. |
| | | |
− | The injury caused Veronica to take a short hiatus from heroic action where she contemplated her life and began to slowly work her way backwards. She realized where things were the most stable in her life, bitterly accepting the fact that she had to go back to the criminal underworld in order to achieve what she wanted. However, she refused to become a villain again, and her course was set. She returned to the heroic community as a stagnant force, all the while working behind the scenes with her old mafia connections to build and consolidate resources. she made many business opportunities to make as much profit as she possibly could and build a smaller empire under her name. The only thing that made her different from her father was that nothing was illegal. All moves were legitimate and carefully considered. It didn't go unnoticed either. Many of her older enemies on both sides confront her only to see her be safe from everything but their criticism.
| + | Kami became her idol, introduced her to Garbage and Joan Jett as well as other old-school rock and punk rock bands -- essentially giving her the crash course. The young Veronica enjoyed it immensely. However things eventually took a turn for the worse. Kami later suffered an attack from a supervillain that cut out Veronica's time to hang out with the woman. The world has once more rained down on her parade just as she started to get that slight hint of happiness -- and she didn't like it at all. She put it in her head that to survive this world one needed to defend themselves and thus she turned to Giovanni Piedmont's gym. At first, she never really announced the reason of her presence there, more focused on observing men train or spar in the ring. It was a mix of boxing and mixed martial arts during the day and bloodsport brawls during the night. |
| | | |
− | Her biggest silver lining became open when Mr.Blank revealed himsef on life television and the Moonlighters had closed down their activities. Veronica moved to approach certain figures to work alongside her in a pocket of anarchy outside of the federal government. This ultimately turned into the Citadel, a security company and benefactor to unregistered heroes that wanted all the benefits of registration without need of the federal's aid to get it.
| + | Eventually, Giovanni caught her trying to replicate the moves she would see in these fights. He attempted to scold her for doing so saying it wasn't in her best interest to learn how to fight like they did, but after Veronica's stubborn resolve kindled a flame -- he decided to try and teach her the basics when she became older. Thus, Veronica fell into running errands for the Vincento family, living in severe poverty, and struggling to survive all the way through her preadolescent years. |
| | | |
− | During the preperations and steps to founding Citadel Protection Co, Veronica was approached by a woman claiming to be her biological mother. It was brought to her attention that she was a descendant to a race known as Vril-Ya; antideluvian nephilim that retreated to live underground in a perfect master society. At first, she rejected the idea of being a quarter angel but eventually came to terms with the discovery after finding a young woman escaping a gang on the streets. This young woman came to be May Whitefield and eventually her adopted ward. Already involved with an investigation that branched into international affairs, she got more adamant on finding out why this young girl was on the streets and disappeared for two months on a trip overseas.
