Known Background: Banshee first appeared in Ireland about fifteen years ago, in a quick spate of saving people all around Dublin, and the surrounding areas, from certainly fatal accidents or criminal encounters. It was in these early weeks, as her fame spread, that she became aware of the imminent invasion from der Nacht. She traveled to the western United States and helped Burt Remington, Dragon, the first Guardian, and Morning Star stop the invasion. In the wake of this, those heroes, minus Guardian, formed the Champions of Justice. Banshee remained with the team for the next several years, splitting her time between Los Angeles, Dublin, and eventually New York. During that time she was romantically linked with Morning Star. After the team disbanded and reformed, her work with the team dropped off, and in the appearances she did make it became clear her relationship with Morning Star, while amicable, had clearly changed. Banshee has stopped working activly with the Champions of Justice, except under the gravest of circumstances. She still works solo, again focussing on saving people from near-certain death.
Personality: Banshee is a reluctant heroine. The hero work was easier for her when she thought she was in love with Morning Star, when in fact, she was more in love with his image. She has softened through the years, originally being quite haughty. Today, she seems more like a woman in love, and a woman seperated from her family. There is a tragic side to her powers, and in that sense she resents them, but feels tremendously guilty when she doesn't use them.
Powers/Tactics: Banshee's obvious powers stem from her ghost-like nature. She is partially discorporeal, and can become completely spirit-like, passing through walls, and allowing objects and attacks to pass through her. This makes her very hard to hurt. Also, she posesses the Banshee's wail, a powerful, painful sonic attack that she can use on an individual, or on a crowd. She also learned to focus the vibrations into a powerful physical blast. Her least obvious power is also the one that she is both the most grateful for and the most resentful about. Just as a traditional banshee is appears at a time of someones death, Banshee has a sporadic sense of knowing when someone is about to die, so she can appear. Unlike her namesake, though, this Banshee chooses to do something about it.
Appearance: Banshee appears as a preternaturally beautiful young woman. She has long, flowing, dark hair and bright green eyes. Originally, her only clothing was a gauzy dress. She quickly added shoes, a black eye-mask and a number of dark swimsuits to the ensemble.
Banshee was originally created, designed and played by Sandy Hover. Ken Hallaron has adapted heavily from that.
