United Kingdom(black in civilian guise)
(green in civilian guise)
The Scarlet Mirage - or simply The Mirage - is a magic user hailing from the United Kingdom, who has recently become active as a hero in Millenium City. Since then, she has achieved a lesser degree of renown, particularly with law enforcement agencies, whom she often cooperates with.
She had no known prior record of vigilantism before appearing in Millenium City in late 2014 and was unheard of before.
Contents
Description
The Scarlet Mirage is a young woman in her mid-twenties, standing almost 6 feet tall, sporting silver hair and her irises glow in a faint violet.
Although, in her civilian guise, she hides this through the use of sorcery, her hair appearing black and her eyes green, respectively.
She is an adept, if somewhat inexperienced magic user, crime-fighter and adventurer. In her civilian life she works as a freelance photographer and reporter and studies journalism at the Millenium City University.
When she first appeared publicly in Millennium City, saving a small group of civilians from Purple Gang thugs, a civilian asked her who she is - she answered, with a smile, 'I'm just a mirage.' The 'Scarlet' stems from the fact that most of the costumes she's been spotted with feature shades of the colour red. She never actually called herself by that moniker.
Immidiatetely after coming to the United States, officially in order to study journalism in Millennium City, she readily registered with PRIMUS and was very forthcoming in cooperating with the authorities. However, while the papers she's using appear to be legitimate according to PRIMUS, there's some indication that the identity she registered with might be a forgery.
Activity
September/2014: Elizabeth Kensington arrives in Millennium City with a F1 Student Visa and enrolls at the MCU as a journalism student.
- The Scarlet Mirage appears for the first time in West Side, Millennium City. Later that year she reportedly lends assistance against the threat posed by Mechanon.
November/2014: A PRIMUS investigation with authorities in the United Kingdom, regarding the authenticity of Elizabeth Kensington's identity, yields no evidence that might point towards a forgery. Everything seems perfectly fine. Perhaps too perfect.
January/2015: Elizabeth Kensington begins working as a freelance photographer and writes for a student newspaper at the MCU.
- The Scarlet Mirage is reported to have thwarted a scheme of DEMON.
April/2015: A Millennium City University students' newspaper releases a series of articles about a number of superheroes, written by MCU journalism student Elizabeth Kensington. Some of these articles include short interviews. Featured heroes include Defender, Sapphire, Thundrax and Professor Mystic. Unfortunately, Nighthawk wasn't available for an interview.
May/2015: Due to the actions of the Mirage, Sigmar "The Inquisitor" Anderson, an insane zealot and supervillain, is incarcerated in Stronghold prison.
Personality
The Mirage is outwardly cold and distanced; snide, supercilious even at times. In the end, this is nought but a facade.
As the student, she is always kind and polite, however, reclusive and somewhat introverted.
The truth is somewhere inbetween - Both the Mirage and the student, they are but mere masks she wears to an end. The person behind is a compassionate but conflicted one, determined to put her powers - that were begotten through malicious intent - to a good cause, to atone for the evil they have wrought on the world.
However, turning a curse into blessing is quite so easy.
Background
Elizabeth Kensington claims to hail from Bexley, a borough of London. According to her, she is the sole child of mundane middle-class parents and her powers began manifesting slowly with the onset of puberty. She also asserts that she always kept her abilities a secret and never fought criminals before coming to Millenium City.
Between 2012 and 2014, she studied journalism at the City University London.
While there is indeed no prior record of any acts of vigilantism on her part in the United Kingdom or elsewhere and evidence of the contrary is lacking, there are some who suspect that the identity of Elizabeth Kensington is fake, albeit a good one.
A few people have contended - without putting forth any hard evidence however, that the Scarlet Mirage shares some similarity in outward appearance and manifested powers with Alexandrine Deruisseau, who gained some infamy in Europe as the villain 'Mystère Argente' for a short time, before disappearing in the wake of an incident in 2009.
During this incident, the Mystère Argente attempted to utilize ancient arcane geometry to shunt the city of London into a small pocket dimension of her own, where she intended to claim rulership over the dimensionally displaced city. Before she could execute her plan, however, she was thwarted by a team of upstart european heroes.
Details of the incident are obscure, but it has been reported that Mystère Argente was inadvertetly killed by the heroes. This seems unlikely however, as she returned a short time later, in order to exact revenge and attempt to execute her plan one more time. Again she was thwarted and dissappeared without a trace afterwards.
Powers and Skills
The abilities of the Mirage are magical in nature, her very body is a focal point for a arcane energies, magical lines of power - that fuel her powers.
The actual capacity of this, however, is severely limited by sheer physical boundaries.
By actively manipulating the flow of these energies within and without, the Mirage is capable of producing a variety of spells and effects:
- -Levitation and Flight
- -Focusing, projecting and binding of arcane energy
- -Channeling of aneris and eris, spells that either heal or disrupt
- -Sorcery, enchantments in particular
Further Information
| Aura |
|---|
| To anyone capable of sensing auras, the one of the Scarlet Mirage appears as densely compressed lilac energy, barely contained. |
| Telepathy |
|---|
| Upon entering the mindscape of the Mirage, a telepath might find themselves confronted with the sight of a dark and almost barren, desolate landscape, surrounded by dark, foreboding mountains. Amidst a howling wind, voices can be heard. What the voices say is unintelligible, however, one of them sounds furious and raging; another one is demanding, commanding even; a third voice is crying and lamenting an unknown fate. |
Tropes

Blue-Collar warlock - Not exactly the traditional sort of sorceress.

Doppelgänger - She resembles a villain that disappeared in 2009.
Clone by Conversion - There's a reason why she resembles a villain.
