history&&
Arie Bordeaux was born to her parents, doctors Olivia and Roland Bordeaux, on a rather cool morning, the first day of July. Her parents, while relatively young at the time of having her, 27 and 29 respectively, they were already fairly well accredited scientists in the field of chemical engineering, working at that time on what would become the super chemical known as Catalyst. In her early years, her parents lab felt more like a home to her than their actual house, which was an apartment in downtown Merridia, not to far from the lab at which they worked. Even at her young age, Arie showed the same incredible intellect and interest in the sciences as her parents, truly she was the daughter of her parents. Rather than going to school or any of that sort of jazz, she was privately schooled by mainly her father, as her mother was often the one most involved with working with the chemical agents. She may have not had many actual friends, but that didn't much matter to Arie.
Around the age of six her parents had a breakthrough with their experiments. Producing a potent chemical that could theoretically be a cure to disease, expatiate the healing process and help repair otherwise detrimental neurological damage. The possibilities were seemingly endless. This drug would soon be know to the world as the super chemical Catalyst.
Although it would soon be found at that the chemical had the possibility to enhance human ability far beyond its natural reaches, giving people essentially super powers, Arie's parents although pioneers in it's creation, were not among those wanting to experiment with those capabilities of the drug, and when eventually offered a role in the shady operations of Baycrest, and even an attempt to stave the group's influence, it became clear to them that the chemical and its use was now out of their control, and so their own work with the chemical continued. This work continued until Arie was about seven or eight on one fateful night that would be forever burned into the young girl's memories.
It was around 10:00 PM, which for the lab want all that late to be working. Arie was in her mother's office, sitting in her chair, as she did her school work when she saw something pass by the shaded window's of the office, which was situated just outside of the lab. It was what appeared to be a silhouetted figure, however when she peeked out to check no one was there. She automatically assumed it was one of the lab techs and thought nothing much of it. That is until there was a loud sound that came from the lab, like some sort of explosion coming from the lab. The rest seemed to happen so fast, she rushed into the lab and saw her father lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood, pieces of equipment collapsed on top of him, sparks flying and a fire starting to blaze out of control, a product of the chemicals the lab was so full of. She remembers her mother yelling at her before a second explosion much nearer to Arie the scorched one of her arms, and the shrapnel blowing off both her legs. She remembers her mother screaming, as well as another voice as she drifted in and out of consciousness, and feeling a gust of air fuel the fire further as someone else opened the door behind her. One of the actual lab techs, a man named Reggie who was interning. Another explosion as more of the roof collapsed, creating a barrier of fire and rubble between young Arie and her mother, whos crying and screams couldn't be heard much over the blaze, and the chemicals reacting violently with each other. From lack of blood and an excess of pain Arie finally blacked out. and was carried out by Reggie, who's action probably saved her life, although she wouldn't soon forgive him for leaving her mother behind in that fire. The explosion that followed wiped out the entire lab, and anything that was left was little more than a scorched rubble. Her home was gone, and she would never get it back.
In the subsequent months following the tragedy, Arie was in an intensive care unit at the local hospital. The papers reported on the accident as "an unfortunate tragedy brought by by neglect and an unattended chemical experiment conducted by the late doctor Bordeaux." It reported Arie and Reggie as the only survivors of the incident. Her parents' bodies were never found. As she was being treated all the doctors agreed it would be impossible to fix all of the damage done to her, and were certain that she would never be able to walk again, or ever get full use of the scorched arm again. They told her the pains might never go away, and that there wasn't much they could do, and it was a miracle that she was alive in the first place. Arie just had to accept that. three months later and as recovered as possible, Arie was discharged from the hospital, and sent to live with her godfather. An old professor of her mother from college, a Doctor Zachary Martin. A man who lived much like a hermit in his manor outside of Merridia where he conducted his experiments in the field of cybernetics, a field in which he was considered quite the genius in. Many wondered why it was that the doctor welcomed the young girl into his home, when he himself lived alone and didn't care much for visitors. He kept his reasons quite to himself but the relationship between the two of them grew rather close over the time Arie spent with him, and he did truly become like a father to her, even if he wasn't around all the time and often just kept to himself in his lab.
By thirteen Arie had accepted the fact that it seemed that she would be bound to a wheelchair for the res of her life, which had become somewhat more acceptable to her, although the now teenage girl still wished to be back to the times when she could walk, and more than anything missed her parents very dearly, although Doctor Martin somewhat filled that void, nothing would ever really be the same in her life. One night during dinner the doctor asked her "If you could make a difference in people's lives, but have to sacrifice something of yours, would you do it?" a question which she thought was rather strange but she answered with : "I've already lost so much, what's left to loose?" The doctor seemed to like that response and only nodded and they finished that dinner. The next day he invited her to come down to his lab, something that he always kept restricted from her and reinforced the concept that it was forbidden to her. When she did she saw that it was full of technology and synthetic human limbs test robots and the like. It would be enough to get a technophile to wet their pants. It was then that he revealed his dream to her, and made a proposition. They would help each other. He would give her legs again, fix her arm, and they would help each other help the people that needed to be helped and to be hope to a city so rich with crime and villainy that people couldn't help but be afraid, to no help of the Catalyst drug. With this now shared vision she agreed, and began to go through a series of long and extensive surgeries over the course of many years enhancing her body with cybernetic limbs and enhancements and training. When all was said and done, it could easily be said that she wasn't who she was when she started, she was more. She had legs that could do more than what normal legs could to, the damaged scorched arm was replaced. under her skin smaller enhancements gave abilities far beyond that of any human. Soon after her 18th birthday everything was done. the work of all the years and surgeries yielded her now. And a set of light, yet durable body armor, coupled with a helmet to match her identity could be concealed easily and the unknown hero was born and was unleashed upon he city of Merridia, doctor Martin acting as a sort of support network of information and guidance.
"Who knows where it came from, it just appeared, as if from nowhere, brought in on the winds or something, who knows. Faceless and terrifying. It beat us down like we was nothing, broke us and broke up our operation. I just don't know why it didn't kill us then..." Was a statement from one newspaper, taken form one of the gangers that was taken from her fist bust, No picture, no nothing, just a front page title that said; "Faceless vigilante takes down drug ring." And it was thus that Faceless became something of a mix between an urban legend, a hero to the meek, and a nightmare to the mobs and criminals.
This has been going on for four years, and the identity of Faceless, or any information about them is unknown. Nobody realizes that Arie Bordeaux, the young girl from the lab explosion, and current student at Merridia University has one hell of a night job. And now with the Catalyst drug gaining prevalence once again, this fight has become more than just a matter of protecting her city.
