MATT MURDOCK
Journal:
Character Name: Matt Murdock
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Current
Emo Backstory Recap: Matt was ready to stand and fight. He'd been against any sort of registration or crackdown before, and he sure as hell was not going to go without a fight. And he did fight. He fought hard, and he wound up with a traumatic brain injury following a scuffle with police. He was hospitalized, forced to register in his incapacitated state before being released into society again.
The only problem was his radar was completely gone and his short term memory was all but destroyed.
Terezi somehow found him first, and decided that she would put her suffering man lusus out of his misery. Fortunately May intervened at the last second, preventing Matt's gruesome murder at the hands of his adoptive daughter.
Unable to practice law anymore, Matt was able to find work as a line chef while living with May and trying to keep Terezi from getting into too much trouble. But it's difficult when you can't really remember anything and you have no powers.
Where They Are Now: The City, with May.

Character Name: The Major
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: (Current
Emo Backstory Recap: The Major was originally all aboard for this dark and terrible future, but once the government actually succeeded in curbing metahuman conflict the shine wore off. He's lost a lot of his former pull and is basically in hiding now, but is still trying to fight by covertly supporting resistance members.
Where They Are Now: Secret Island Base, somewhere off the East Coast
Other notes?: The Major still has a bit to offer those willing to work with him. How bad do you really want to hurt the government, resistance members?

Character Name: Calvin
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Current
Emo Backstory Recap: Calvin got taken into custody and finally began to age. He's thirteen now, and deeply affected by seven years of solitary confinement under tight supervision.
Where They Are Now: Long Island metahuman containment facility.
Other notes?: Someone rescue him!
no subject
Journal:
Character Name: Mordin Solus
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Former
Emo Backstory Recap: Joined resistance once oppression became apparent. Easy choice, but difficult results. Forced to spend more and more time in human form to avoid recognition as Import. Resistance work challenging, results few. Kill without hesitation, willing to do whatever is necessary. Age becoming more of an issue.
Where They Are Now: Probably a resistance hideout in the City if there is one.
Other notes?:
no subject
Journal:
Character Name: Zatanna Zatara
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Current.
Emo Backstory Recap: One of like three characters with a kind of okay and not very emo backstory. TL;DR, works as a spy for the resistance with her husband, James Bond.
Where They Are Now: London.
Other notes?: They're pretty domestic and got their shit together. It's nice. ;;
no subject
Journal:
Character Name: Jack Bauer
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Current
Emo Backstory Recap: Jack's now in his late fifties and has been Walking the Earth under a series of aliases, keeping off the registration grid. He's been in an uncharacteristically indecisive funk about whether to take up arms against his own government; not killing cops and soldiers is one of the last few lines he has never crossed. It doesn't help that his age is beginning to catch up with him.
Where They Are Now: California, self-employed home improvement guy, under the name 'Richard Walker.'
Other notes?: Scatty's going to talk him into getting back into action, hopefully.
no subject
Journal:
Character Name:
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: current
Emo Backstory Recap: He exploded the Knivescave, and then became a hobo for a while. Then he joined the resistance.
Where They Are Now:
- Finicky about missions, would rather teach recruits marksmanship than do things that might result in casualties.
- Publishes essays on love, peace, and (meta)human rights under the pen name John P. Smith.
- Still a victim of that pesky hero complex, gets injured a lot for his troubles. A regular patient at Martin's clinic.
Other notes?: Needs to be informed of Calvin's plight so he can rescue the boy. Up for rescuing pretty much anyone being imprisoned/experimented on, really.
no subject
Journal:
Character Name: Duck
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Former Here's one of her old posts
Emo Backstory Recap: Ported back in the City two years after she left only to discover everyone from her world had returned and most of the people she knew were gone. Thanks to her very visible but non-threatening powers, could not avoid registration.
Where They Are Now:
- Works minimum wage jobs but can't keep them for long, because quacking is a reflex she just can't beat, and she gets fired and fined every time she does it.
- Can't afford ballet lessons and even if she could is probably too old to ever make Prima Ballerina.
Other notes?: Open to pretty much everything short of participating in the more millitant parts of the resistance.
JESSICA WAKEFIELD
Journal:
Character Name: Jessica Wakefield
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Current
Emo Backstory Recap: Jessica was pregnant when the crackdown happened. She wasn't aware of this at the time, and she wouldn't realize this until a month or so later, after her friends had scattered (or been arrested, as the case may have been.) Jessica was on her own, and she had to grow up very quickly now that she had another mouth to feed and another person depending solely on her. She assumed the alias Elizabeth Robertson during this time, and she relocated herself to Miami in hopes of avoiding any unwanted attention.
Daughter Jaime was born in 2014, and Jessica began working as a waitress in order to make ends meet. The money wasn't good though, and she eventually took up the offer to start "dancing" on the side for extra cash. It was sometimes degrading, but Jessica was determined to take care of herself, and she wasn't about to go crawling to the few imPorts she knew, looking for a handout. She was able to save up a modest amount to care for herself and her daughter, and so long as she didn't think about it, she was able to get by.
Sometime in 2019, a dark haired stranger happened to walk into the club where Jessica worked. Laura recognized her old friend immediately, and it took essentially zero effort to convince the blonde to pack up her things and head out with the assassin. Laura took Jessica on the road, with little Jaime in tow, as she went from place to place as a killer for hire.
In 2020, the trio returned to the City for the first time since the crackdown. That's when she was reunited with Jason (whom she'd long presumed was dead) and embarked on the next awkward and horrible phase of her life. Time had changed them however, and she wasn't used to the idea of sharing her life and child with someone who'd more or less abandoned them. Overcome with the emotions she'd thought she'd finally banished for good, she contemplates her future and whether or not she should simply pack up her child and run again.
Where They Are Now: The City!
Other notes?: She has the world's most precious child.
HELENA WAYNE
Journal:
Character Name: Helena Wayne
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Current
Emo Backstory Recap: Standing and fighting was the only option for Helena. This world was the only world she had left, and as far as she was concerned it was her home. She wasn't about to surrender, and when Dick and Damian moved underground, Helena did too, though she maintained her distance for awhile. It wasn't until Damian decided to fly solo that Helena took up with Dick full time, assisting him in setting up Batman, Inc. and in the raising of his son, Liam.
Somewhere between lover and sister, Helena's relationship with Dick is a complicated one. She's much more comfortable once she assumes her Huntress persona, now in the role of Batman's official partner. As Helena, she offers assistance to imPorts in need, offering legal advice for free, as well as shelter, money, and anything else she can spare. As Huntress, she's still determined to protect the City from crime, risking arrest nightly in pursuit of justice for those who have been denied.
Where They Are Now: The City
Other notes?: N/A
AOI "the laughing man"
Journal:
Character Name: Aoi "the laughing man"
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Former, post is here.
Emo Backstory Recap: Aoi registered and was detained, but released because his abilities are pretty harmless. After that, he went off the map, deleting every record of his existence carefully, and doctoring any documents necessary. He existed quietly for a few years as "Koizumi" (his actual last name, woah) maintaining a relationship with "Adrian Maskin" though emails and political discussions.
Sometime in 2019 he was spotted by one, Kate Bishop, who recognized him as a former student at Xavier's. From there he began working with Alex (Phobos)'s black ops team.
Where They Are Now: Still working with Alex and Kate in a largely research capacity. He can go into the field, but does so only when a system can't be hacked externally.
Other notes?: He has much better control of his intangibility powers and is more in touch with his "ghost". Overall, he's slightly less eccentric on the surface, but his politics have taken a far more extreme tilt. Which is scary considering he was considered the "greatest corporate terrorist ever" in his world.
OLIVER QUEEN
Journal:
Character Name: Oliver Queen / Green Arrow
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: current
Emo Backstory Recap: Ollie had built up a successful, socially responsible organization by 2014 and lost it by 2016. He fell under scrutiny for his vigilante activities, got himself arrested and detained, and went to prison for a bit. After his release, he moved upstate and went a little cray. He started performing political assassinations and eventually bit off more than he could chew.
Where They Are Now: Deceased. He went out with Free Bird playing. It was rad.
Other notes?: He's dead, Jim.
Also sometimes he chills with Death. This is like his third time at that particular rodeo. It gets dull.
KATE BISHOP
Journal:
Character Name: Kate Bishop
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Current
Emo Backstory Recap: The government crackdown sent imPorts scattering and made for the strangest of bedfellows. Separated from her friends and others whom she would consider her allies, Hawkeye fell in with the young demigod of fear, Phobos, and spent the first weeks post-crackdown fighting by his side. It wasn't the most natural of alliances, the two butted heads quite frequently with Kate questioning Alex on many an occasion. However, they worked well together in the field, and from that partnership, Team Fear was born.
The two teens realized they were capable of causing as much chaos as they wanted, and that they had the skills necessary to work covertly and take care of 'dirty work'. The team would center around the pair of them in the field. The Laughing Man (Aoi) was recruited as a cyberpath. Quentin Quire added the telepathic mutant element to the group. Tommy Shepherd would also work in the field, as would Monet St. Croix, on loan from X-Factor when missions called for her level of finesse. Rounding out the team was April Ludgate, maintainer of their mobile base and mama raccoon to the band of misfits.
The team grew up together under less than ideal and overly stressful circumstances. Kate still questions Alex, especially now that he is a full god. But she trusts him completely, just as she trusts the others. They wouldn't have survived without each other, and she has no plans to surrender any time soon.
Where They Are Now: An underground base
Other notes?: N/A
VICTOR MANCHA
Journal:
Character Name: Victor Mancha
Journal:
Current or Former C&Cer?: Current
Emo Backstory Recap:
Bad ending in which a trigger word caused Vic to turn evil and complete his destiny to become Victorious, as per Ultron's plans. It's that simple.
Where They Are Now: The City.
Other notes?: Victorious is a known hero-killer. You've been warned. He's considered the most powerful villain in canon to the point that no one is able to stop him.
