− | + | ''"When I stepped out of the spotlight, I took a personal quest of refinement focused purely on my philosophy - my way of life, as it were. I looked at the definitions and the beliefs it encourages. While you do that and you look at the world around you, you quickly realize that it's not possible. You're one little speck in a myriad of little specks who are all different and thus a satan to you. No one is 'truly' your friend or your supporter. It's circumstantial. You violate something that they hold close, there's a loss in faith or a distance formed. You have to be contemporary with it. You have to know what to avoid, what to put emphasis on, and what to say or do in the interest of mutual-ism. A natural set of rules and regulations that no one man or nephilim or angel or demon or whatever can make. Natural Law. 'That' is the Creator as far as I'm concerned."'' - '''Anarchy on her stance as a Nephilim and her relation to God.''' | |
− | + | As an anarchist, Veronica values the individual above anything else, though this does not mean she is selfish by nature. Instead, she advocates a sense of mutual, non-hierarchical community with all of her relations. Naturally, she sees the State as an unnecessary aspect of civilization but understands the necessity to tolerate their presence. Because of this, she operates in ways designed to avoid delegation without breaking the law. This is mostly done in her vigilante activities with her sidekick, Riot, and the affinity group, Anonymous Community of Anarchists or by her developed lifestyle based around self-autonomy. She does not hide her beliefs either, often speaking out on them should the need arise. Anyone that deploys means of coercion over another instantly earns her ire, provoking her not-so-subtle violent - and vulgar - wrath. Ironically, despite her natural dislike of certain types of people, Veronica would go out of her to help them if she deems them worth the effort. This desire to help stems from her view of the prison and judicial system as unnecessary. | |
− | + | Originally, Veronica’s work ethics pushed her into losing herself to putting almost everything else before herself for the sake of complacency. It wasn’t until later that she realized the folly of this view and fell into obscurity for a brief period to refine herself. The re-emergence brought noticeable changes in Veronica from her peers. Most notably, she is no longer reserved about speaking out against decisions she disagrees with. What else become noticeable is her strange advocacy of confrontation, struggle, and hardship; she claims that is the negative in life that strengthens one’s character. This is vividly observed in her mentorship of Riot, whom she treats as equal despite being only thirteen. Because of this, she almost chases challenges and sets herself into difficult situations for sport, saying that growing too comfortable will weaken her newfound sense of accomplishment and view on life. When it comes to helping another, she no longer provides handouts, saying that simple charity accomplishes nothing. Instead, she seeks to instruct and tutor those she helps with the means to live in poverty successfully, defend themselves, and how to be self-sustaining. | |
+ | |||
+ | As wise as she seems at times, she is often victim to her addictions. Veronica is a horrible alcoholic and smoker, although she at least does not drink when on patrol or on active-duty for the Liberty Initiative. Casually, she is almost always seen with either a clove or glass - or bottle - of bourbon. She is also aware of her addiction although shows no desire to sate them, claiming them to be things she enjoys and part of her character. Another of her vices is her thrill-seeking tendency. Next to her need to challenge herself, she is prone to taking larger risks than necessary for sport. This habit is moderated for team-based missions or open-social events luckily. Some of these challenges are now constantly ingrained into her lifestyle, such as: living off-the-grid, forsaking a private vehicle, not carrying any cash on her person, and sometimes fighting crime with very minimum supplies. Others have implored her to not be so extreme in her period of refinement, but she argues that this is necessary and that they would not fully understand. One way or another, Veronica strives in chaos. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a crime-fighter, Veronica willingly drops some of her more radical personality qualities for the sake of efficiency. A natural leader and tactician, she understands her peers and students look to her for decision-making. She will still look to them for input to keep a sense of equality, but she understands that split-second decisions are part of tense situations. Most of her teammates and peers trust her with their life but understand that her method of approach is sometimes very difficult to determine; she is a very deceitful combatant. This is observed not only in her strategies, but in her fighting style as well. She would quicker let her opponents think they are in control than outright overpower them if the chance is provided. She sees it as that much more insulting and memorable. It’s one thing to harm a man’s body, but another to harm their spirit and pride. Makes them less prone to repeated mistake. Another quality that makes her a force to be reckoned with as a leader is her seemingly deep understanding of how her allies powers work and by relation, their foes. She has demonstrated being able to take down situations by suggestion to her allies alone without lifting a finger herself. | ||

− | + | Domanika Jelen, the Ha-Satan of the Vril Society, traveled to America in early 1990. It was then that she had an encounter with a man named Dimitri Vincento. By 1994 they brought their firstborn child, a daughter, into the world. Domanika named her Berenice after her own mother and the father thought it better to name her a more contemporary version of the name, Veronica. The latter ended up on her birth certificate and the mother suddenly disappeared shortly after the child’s birth. Over the years, Veronica became deeply infatuated with her father, a man of power, influence, and wealth, unaware the source of this was his status of Boss in the Vincento Family, a mafia. She demonstrated an unnatural aptitude for many things such as mathematics, science, reading, and business. Dimitri simply believed her to be born with a higher intelligence until she took an interest in boxing and gymnastics where she demonstrated such traits again. By the age of seven, she was not only showing a fiery brutality that matched her fathers, but she was pointing out where income could be improved when she caught onto things. Convinced she was more than human, Dimitri had her tested and they discovered her differences in physiology. | |
+ | From that point on, Veronica was the pride and joy of her father, often placing her younger brother, Trenton, in her shadow. Dimitri’s best attempts at dolling her up were quickly changed to turning her into a force to be reckoned with. He began to pay for better boxing instructors, introducing her to knife-fighting, and showing her the entire scope of his business endeavors. This was because while she was an early-bloomer to her feminine appeal, she showed more interest in being a tomboy rather than a princess. While she could not be the boss or a made man, the family saw her as their ‘prize-fighter’. Finally, Trenton came of age that he developed enough to challenge her clutches from her father. While she was learning things from father himself, he was learning them through participation. He began to run small tasks for the Family mostly focused on the vice trade. He purposefully set up a major deal to fail when he tipped off the cops through Veronica’s phone and landed the Family’s caporegima and Sottocapo in prison. Outraged at her betrayal, further provoked by his drunken grief, Dimitri assaulted his daughter and put her in the hospital as a result. | ||
− | + | Instantly, an immense level of animosity had been put between them and Veronica resigned to the fact she’d never see justice served. He was a mob boss, had cops and politicians on his payroll to enforce or turn a blind eye, and was in a seat of power. As far as the world would ever know, she was attacked by muggers on the street and left for dead. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became; angry at her father, angry at the corruption, angry at herself, and angry at whoever set her up. Returning home became impossible. The doctors were surprised at the fourteen year old's rate of recovery and when she was certain of her ability to operate, she snuck out from the hospital and ran from everything. It was the only thing she thought to do; to run away from her father, her friends, her life, and everything. It seemed simpler that way. For a year she lived on the street, staying away from places of monitoring, stealing food and supplies from corner stores, and squatting in condemned buildings. She wanted to go home more and more as time went on, and the more and more she grew angry at the world. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | She then stumbled onto an event that would change her life forever; a political rally for left-wing radicals. The band, The Drowning Jocks, spoke to her current emotions and thoughts, the attending rally-goers wore attire she found appealing, and they seemed more than eager to introduce and preach to her without question. She felt oddly comfortable and then she met Christian Delrey, a member of the Maniacs. She lied about her age to everyone, got involved with their activities, and was offered shelter by Christian at his small apartment. Thinking it better than living on the streets, she took the man’s offer. Over the course of months, he seemed like a dream come true; he was compassionate, attentive to her, and willing to teach her more about what she saw at that rally. Later, she felt herself grown close to him. She was only fifteen at the time and he was twenty seven and she made her move to become intimate with him. | |
+ | The next two years passed quickly. She was usually under the effects of drug abuse, mostly with alcohol, marijuana, pill-popping, or others and does not remember much about it. She remembers Christian becoming cruel to others, becoming abusive, and forcing others into working for him. By the time it started, her care for such things had become low because she couldn’t feel anything anymore. She loved him and she loved her drugs; nothing else mattered. Little did she know that the man she loved was no more, he became the founder of a terrorist organization known as the Black Parade Movement. Her role in their attacks were usually behind-the-scenes at first, playing the role of the spread of propaganda. Her final moment with the Movement was her demolition of the wall to a prison that released many fugitives back into the streets. | ||
− | + | Veronica was arrested and held in detainment for a total of two weeks before an official investigation was launched on her case against the State of Michigan. The beginning parts of the trail went horrible for the young sixteen year old, as they were pulling her runaway status, activities with a terrorist organization, and the deaths of three politicians into question. The evidence of her drug abuse proved positive on the test results and her defiance in the face of authority did not help her win over favor either. Then, the discovery of Christian Delrey’s latent telepathic powers was brought up in court and they realized Veronica’s actions were not entirely her fault; she had no proper memory of the events and a psychotherapist confirmed the grip of his powers over her mind. | |
− | + | Veronica was told to return to her father but he quickly countered her return with turning her over to state authority, saying she wasn’t fit to be a Vincento anymore and he’d have nothing to do with her. Miraculously, a representative of Tasca Academy stepped forth and petitioned to take her with them to their pubic school. They proposed her finish of school and commitment to community service could be considered reformity. Reluctantly, the court agreed and she was put in the care of renowned hero, Captain Valor. Her time at Tasca Academy was one of controversy; she was often causing chaos within the students or terrorizing the teachers. Her academic application remained just acceptable at best and was often caught sneaking off campus to return to the streets or outright disappearing during the weekends. | |
− | + | At first, the staff believed she was sneaking off to return to her drug abuse until another trusted student, Boy Wonder, tailed her to confirm or deny the suspicion. At first, it seemed she had been sneaking off to return to her drug-dealing friends, go get drunk at a friend’s house, or get another tattoo from her regular provider. Then the discovery of her father’s letter to her claiming that he was wrong and willing to accept her again raised further suspicion, especially since she didn’t seem to be returning to him - or even mentioned it in the first place. It wasn’t until one winter night that they learned she had been secretly working with a vigilante group that were hell-bent on taking down a criminal organization known as the Syndicate, who held North Detroit under their grip firmly. | |
+ | It was then that they realized Veronica had taken to the crime-fighting life and questioned her about it. At first, she denied any involvement with it until they showed video surveillance brought to them by Mid-Knight. She was given the opportunity to train and learn how to be a hero under Tasca Academy’s secret hero-training program, Prodigy Force. The combination of what she learning under Prodigy Force, her personal tutelage under Captain Valor, and the vigilante leader, Street Sovereign, transformed the young woman into the vigilante known as Anarchy. She took her personal vendetta against her father alongside Street Sovereign while aiding the Prodigy Force with more public threats and quickly learned a plethora of things. | ||
− | + | Tragedy was destined to strike however. One fateful night, her and the vigilantes she often ran with had the drop on the Syndicate’s leaders, including her own father. The operation was to be smooth but quickly became shaky once the cops become involved. Luckily, Anarchy was able to break off from the chaos that left bodies on all sides to chase after her father. A heated car chase turned to street-fight with her father’s most trusted men and it finally ended with him staring down the barrel of her pistol in an alleyway. The only man to ever see her actually pull the trigger was Detective James Roberts and was stunned in disbelief that he let her get away. | |
− | + | In a panic, she crawled back to Tasca Academy and tried to act nonchalant. It wasn’t long before news of her father’s death reached the news and she was questioned by her superiors in Prodigy Force. She reluctantly told what had happened and told them that she wasn’t going to go down without a fight. Left without a choice, an associate team of Prodigy Force, the Viridian Assembly, had Tachki take her away from the city. Tachki, an ex-VIPER specialist turned manimal, had grown attached to the young girl during her training and took it upon himself to mentor her in private on occasion. He took her to Monster Island for a few months. | |
− | + | Her return to the city was a very reluctant one, thinking she would be arrested and she placed the others in danger by her actions as well. To her surprise, things were not as extreme. Instead, she was taken off of Prodigy Force and trailed as an adult before the court. With the help of her friends and peers, she was not found guilty of manslaughter since the evidence pointed to self-defense. Even Detective Roberts testified to her innocence and earned her respect. After the court, she spent some time in a small apartment working at a local chop-shop as a civilian. She thought to retire crime-fighter before another instance like that arose. | |
+ | It wasn’t meant to be when Prodigy Force came under a lot of scrutiny from various villain organizations and the adults seemed disorganized. Under request of her former room-mate, she asked Tachki to petition her recruitment into Viridian Assembly where she met with someone she least expected. The bass player of the Drowning Jocks at the political rally years ago, Kami Viridian; her hero. After proving herself worthy to join she quickly worked with them to fight back the forces of VIPER, War-Breed, and others that threatened their community. | ||
− | + | For the next year, Veronica was a back and forth case of hero-work and street rat, struggling to find out which path of life she preferred. It wasn’t until a betrayal within the ranks of the entire Coalition she fought with eliminated over half of the members and split the rest that her path was clear. She lost all but a few friends and the grief drove her completely away from contact with them all. Keeping her day job as mechanic at the local chop shop, she began to frequent clubs and bars she could sneak in with a fake I.D. At night, she would hit the streets every so now and then just to keep herself on her toes. | |
− | + | Then she met a woman in the club named Natasha Roy who she began to live with and grow close to her. Learning of her connections to the heroic community as Divael, the Masked Healer, introduced her to SUMMIT meets and welcomed her to a much larger playing field. She met Thundrax, Azunai, Blaspherion, Defender, Doctor Ka, and many other reputable heroes she saw on the television or newspapers. Quickly, she jumped aboard the heroic career once more and joined the Champions: Respond and Protect channel to aid her in this. | |
− | + | For the next passing years, the woman behind Anarchy rose to local fame with accomplishments from tackling Warblade alongside Chivalry; tutoring the teenage super team, New Vigil; fighting alongside Thundrax to fight back Zorasto; being chosen to represent Charity against an apocalyptic force; and fighting back the invasion of Destroid’s for the speculated return of Doctor Destroyer. She was welcomed into the Circle of Justice and received a medal of recognition when she saved the President. It was somewhere in this mix of chaos that she settled down with Natasha and became romantically involved with her. | |
