Biography

Jamie Hudson, a teenager yearning for independence. Having lived a life of poverty with dysfunctional parents, Jamie took to the streets to make her own way through life. A poor decision on her part, she only fell further, always hungry and struggling to finda home for herself. Pickpocketing became her way of life, viewing money as more than just mere currency, but power and life as well. She always dreamed of being a hero however, looking up at the caped crusaders flying across the sky, protecting her without asking for anything in return.

She felt indebted to these heroes and wanted to give something back; not money as heroes have no need for it. This feeling drove her to venture to Little Italy, known Purple Gang territory. Sure enough a group of heroes were fighting against purple suits, taking bullets like they were nothing. She provided direction and warning, whenever a suit appeared, she would shout "Behind you!" or "Two left!" It was going well, until...
Real villains showed up, villains with power. The battle became ugly, energy flying everywhere, Jamie tried to hide. Instead, she was struck by multiple blasts which surely should have killed her. This cocktail of energy combined and awakened her power, stemming from her view of money. Still in danger, however, the hero Bastion flew in and took her out of harms way. But a newly awakened power means very little control and it caused her pouch full of coins to explode, burning Bastion's arms but leaving Jamie in perfect shape. Feeling indebted to Bastion, Jamie partnered up with him as a hero by the name of "Change."

Change insists her partnership with Bastion is strictly to repay her debt to him for saving her life, but deep down it is a treasured friendship she'd never give up for the world. Finding a little bit of money through heroic deeds and delving into the world of heroism, she became a big fan of Anarchy

Better still, together Bastion and Change made enough money to rent a scummy old basement. The two of them met Change's idol in Caprice one night and immediately introduced themselves, they were even lucky enough to be invited to Anarchy's penthouse for a night of music and socializing. Change was ecstatic to have had a chance to get to know her idol personally and was even happier to meet Anarchy multiple times after, cementing a friendship she hopes never falls apart. It was then that Anarchy offered Bastion and Change the opportunity to join Eternals, Inc. a famous supergroup lead by Colosso). The pair jumped at the opportunity and barely a day later, they were stood in front of Stopmotion for an interview.

Biography

• Economancy - Her primary ability and namesake, Change is capable of moving money with her mind. There are limitations to this ability, but also limitless potential:
  

- Monopoly money is not valid.
- 'Trade' (furs for food etc.) does not apply to her powers.
- Alien economical systems can apply, provided Change has knowledge of them and how they work.
- Primarily sticks to small coins of multiple currencies.
- Credit and Debit card holders beware...

• Econo-Ignis - Her secondary ability and main offensive outlet, Change is capable of causing coins to explode or burn at a temperature high enough to create blue flames.
  
• Econo-Memoria - Her knowledge of an extra-terrestrial economy based around using memories as currency granted her the ability to use her own, or other people's memories in the same manner as her coins. There are extreme moral issues with using this power on others so she avoids it if possible. Unless intensely focused, the memories she extracts from herself and others are utterly random.
  
• Vashra - As a member of the Grace family, her hair is naturally white. In addition, she is granted several blessings with which to enhance herself if needed:

- Increased Speed
- Increased Strength
- Increased Endurance
- Faster recovery from injuries

Biography

• The Nickel Dusters - An invention of her own, Change has a pair of bracers embedded with nickels. The nickels have held their value and can be ignited at will, providing Change with a BURNING punch. She wears these while in civilian clothes and under her gloves when in costume.
  
• Body Armour - Change's costume sports some lightweight armour, capable of withstanding heavy impacts and gunshots.
  
• The Scarf - Change's scarf is made of dyed metallic thread. It can withstand roughly the same damage her armour can and is fireproof. WARNING: Getting hit by the scarf will hurt.
  

Biography

• Oh God it hurts! - Change is essentially human, even with her Vashra blessings she's no juggernaut. There is only so much she can take before falling.
  
• Please don't hurt them! - A common weakness amongst heroes, holding a loved one or civilian at gunpoint will get her to dance to your tune.
  
• Get out of my head! - Mental defences? Nope.
  

Biography

Appearance

• Delinquent Hair Taking inspiration from Anarchy, Jamie dyes her hair. For one, she hates her natural white hair. She is also of the stern belief that blue hair looks "FREAKING AWESOME!"
  
• Power Tattoo Her tattoo of a burning coin was inked in for free by Anarchy. It doesn't have any special properties but, Jamie likes it all the same, if only to advertise her awesome powers on her right arm.
  

Personality

• Hot Blooded Much like the burning nature of her powers, Jamie herself is a passionate force to be reckoned with. Whether it's her business ventures in Heads & Tails or a villain on a rampage, Jamie doesn't hold back.
• Socially Awkward Hero Despite her courageous nature and general fiery determination, Jamie struggles with a lot of social interactions. Lavish parties render her a mere wallflower and approaching someone she has a crush-- And she's gone...
• Humble Hero Jamie is no glory hunter. She wishes only to make her mark on the world as someone who made it a better place, nothing more. Her view is that success is marked by how many lives were saved, not by how loud the grateful crowd cheers.
  

Combat and Skills

• Personality Powers Jamie's power stemmed from her obsession with money. Before she became a hero, every coin she held meant a chance at surviving another day. To her, money is more than just purchasing material goods, it is a resource to assure survival. With her powers, she can use money to assure the survival of others in the face of danger.
  
• Playing with Fire Let it all burn! Jamie's all about fire and explosions!
  
• Bizarre Human Biology Jamie was certainly born 100% human and spent a lot of her heroic career as a human, much to her disadvantage due to vulnerability to losing limbs, breaking bones etc. With Bastion's help, she was adopted into the 'Grace' family, an extra-terrestrial family of great power. As a result she became a 'Vashra', capable of enhancing her own physical weaknesses to a certain degree.
