Alyssa Vance

Alyssa Vance, also known by her vigilante name Shrill, is a Neo Metroville-based musician who also trains to be one of the city's up-and-coming superheroes. While her passion lies in music, she also lives for the thrill of battle, where she uses her ability to manipulate sound for a variety of means.
Shrill hails from the Project Cape franchise, making her debut in its inaugural game.
==Appearance==
Alyssa sports an average build for a woman her age, standing at 5 foot 7 inches. Her hair is a dyed red color (her natural color being brown) and set in a mohawk, with some hair reaching down to her shoulders. She has purple eyes and a metallic piercing in her left ear.
Her hero/musician costume is more of a heavy metal musician's getup; Her most noticeable article of clothing is a sleeveless black tee with sound wave designs on the front, which she considers her calling card. She also wears a gray spiked bracelet on each arm, black leather pants with have holes and rips in some areas, and dark red boots.
==Personality==
Alyssa is somewhat of a loose cannon, having a fiery and energetic disposition. In addition, she can also be rather full of herself at times, usually to her own detriment. She tends to be very vocal in most conversations, being eager to get her two cents in no matter what. Alyssa also boasts a relatively short temper, which she usually expresses by mouthing off to whoever arouses her anger, if not resorting to physical violence.
Despite her impulsive behaviors, Alyssa can also be quite defensive and caring for those she can get close with. She is a firm believer in tough love, and while she can be something scathing to even her closest friends, she does mean well deep down. Due to her past, she also doesn't open up to people very easily, and usually tends to mask her emotions with arrogance or rage.
==Abilities==
Shrill was born with various sound-related abilities.
*Sound Manipulation: Shrill can manipulate sound waves which enter a three-foot radius around her, being able to amplify or nullify them to her liking.
**Sound Wave Projection: By using her sound manipulation with a strum of her guitar or a clap of her hands, she can generate forcible sound waves which can knock people over or shatter fragile objects.
**Silent Movement: Shrill, in theory, can completely silence her movements, making her impossible to trace off hearing alone. However, she rarely uses this ability due to her lack of concern with stealth.
*Sonic Scream: Shrill can emit a powerful, roaring scream which can be heard from miles away. The sheer force of this scream can also launch nearby objects/people, shatter fragile objects, and even temporarily deafen a person should they be too close.
**Excitement Inducement: Shrill's voice can induce a sense of excitement and motivation into listeners at certain pitches.
**Vertigo Inducement: With a certain pitch of her voice, Shrill's scream can affect the fluid in one's ear, leaving them dizzy for a short period.
*Voice Projection: With enough concentration, Shrill can project her voice to make it seem like it is coming from another area. The exact limits of this ability are not known, but it is believed that Shrill can only project to areas she can physically see, as well as a certain distance around said areas.
In addition to her superpowers, Shrill is a talented musician and singer with an affinity for heavy metal music. She has also trained herself to use her guitar as a melee weapon and perform a knee slide as an evasive maneuver.
==History==
Born and raised in England, Alyssa's home life was somewhat strained, to say the least. Between the constant arguments between her parents and her lack of focus in school, she found herself stressed often and lashed out at nearly anyone around her. Without anyone in her life she felt she could talk to, she resorted to using music as a means of venting her emotions, finding that heavy metal best suited her tastes. This is also when she discovered her sonic abilities, which she saw as a badge of pride. While she was careful not to use her skills in front of her parents, she had no qualms with unleashing powerful sound waves at anyone who dared pick a fight with her.
Some time after she left college, Alyssa began to gain a following as a heavy metal musician, performing under the name Shrill (which she chose as a reference to her piercing voice). During her run as a musician, she was approached by the Project Cape Initative, who saw her powers as a means of defending the city of Neo Metroville from harm. After some thought, she agreed to join the team, but under the condition that she could continue her music career when not on-duty.
