Roxanne Everhart/Fire Glider: A child prodigy who grew up in the absolute WORST environment. At 16 years old, Roxanne Everhart was already showing the first signs of a future genius, skipping three grades and working on several technological breakthroughs; all she needed was an environment that nurtured her development. Instead, by some cruel twist of fate, her genius went unrecognized and she ended up in the infamously terrible Oak Hills Conservatory school, where she suffered relentlessly vicious bullying from her classmates and even her teachers; her rage grew, and grew, and finally flared when her classmates burned down her house and hospitalized her mother. Seeking revenge, she accepted the offer of a mysterious organization, desperate for ANY chance at revenge; their experiments transformed her into a living surge of heat, contained within a mechanical suit, taking away the last of her empathy and breaking her completely.
Now, Everhart takes to the skies as Fire Glider, riding atop the fruit of her technological genius and incinerating anything standing between her and “justice”. Dorky and chipper on the outside and a cold, remorseless psychopath to her core, she has dedicated her life to hunting down the students and teachers of Oak Hills Conservatory. She’s already caught up to several of them, and those who survive live in utter fear; they know the torture, beatings, and burnings are the absolute LEAST of what she has in store for them…
Fire Glider is a Paradigm who constantly generates extreme levels of fire and heat, forcing her to wear an armored containment suit at all times. She can only take it off when sleeping and must sleep in a personalized room made to withstand the heat. The suit is equipped with a pair of wrist-mounted vents that, when opened, blast unending jets of pressurized fire. The suit also enhances Everhart’s strength to a superhuman degree, to the point she can tear bunker doors off their hinges with ease. Her characteristic glider, her finest invention, is a cutting-edge flying machine that can withstand its owner’s full 500-pound weight, while still remaining fantastically maneuverability and speeds reaching up to 120 MPH. The glider is equipped with a number of defensive and offensive capabilities, such as railguns and the ability to drop firebombs.
The price for Fire Glider’s powers was her empathy; losing it was the final straw that turned her into the sadistic monster she now is.
