## Biography

### Early Life

#### Childhood Trauma

Evie Holmes was born on 16 January 2006 in New York City; her mother dying during childbirth. Due to this her upbringing was extremely poor with her Aunt trying to look after Evie from her now drunk, abusive, depressed father. This - after 9 years of abuse and sadness - led to a legal battle for Evie to be taken from her father to live with her Aunt, her Uncle having passed away months before Evie was taken in. Evie was then moved away to live in Monaco Bay with her Aunt.

#### New Home

Evie was then sent to a different school from her original, causing her to lose all of her prior friends. Despite most children would’ve been put into a shy and lonely nature, Evie took a differing approach thanks to her Aunt’s strong and loving force in her life now which led her to see this as a new beginning of life - even at just 10 years of age.

### Education and Career

Evie grew confident under her Aunt, being able to push aside any PTSD that was slowly beginning to show itself to her - something she would later regret not having dealt with professionally. Evie went on to make new friends and eventually graduate high school and university with a degree in Art and Design and - later - Technical Design. This led Evie to become a professional maker of clothes/costumes for television productions of superhero adaptations for the small screen - superheroes always being the people Evie looked up to when she was younger. She notably worked on a 3 season run of ‘Batman: The Television Series’. This eventually allowed her to create her own purple super suit.

### Echo's "Creation"

The creation of her own suit led to her coming up with her own superhero: Echo! She’d have the ability to control sound waves, fly, and much more! Of course it was only fiction, but it was her own fiction. A fun game for herself. In fact Echo wasn’t a new creation at all. Echo was thought up by Evie at the age of just 11 years old. Her ultimate hero finally had a real life super suit. Little did she know… it would soon become a reality...

### Pain Remerged

After a while things would take a seemingly good but silently dark turn. Evie would meet a man. A man named… well that really doesn’t matter. What mattered was the deception. The lies. That’s what mattered. Oh, and the abuse that started after a month and a half. After 6 months Evie would be littered with bruises all over her body. Not just from punching, but from.. Other activities. It was the worst thing she’d been through. And it just brought back the childhood trauma of her abusive father. But of course, as the woman she was, Evie kept quiet. She just… accepted her life. It was ruined. Awful. Terrible. Every day. Even hourly sometimes. It was horrific - only made worse by the fact his large financing would be able to cover anything up.

#### Awakening of the X-Gene

Evie was living what was literally hell. But one day, while being punched and punched and punched - something happened… Evie screamed so loud a massive sonic sound-wave shot the abusive bastard across the room, cracking the glass of the 60th floor apartment the pair lived in at the time. She was shocked. However things were far worse when she realised what had happened. A shard of glass has implanted itself in the man’s head… He was dead.

### Legal Battle

Evie soon fell into a massive guilt. She fled to New York City - her hometown - before being found by police. She was to be charged with manslaughter and to have a trial against her. The most stress she’d ever experienced… But then, like a saint, a lawyer by the name of Matt Murdock appeared to her. Told her he could help her. And he did! Eventually - after a long process - all of the charges on her were dropped and almost forgotten about - though her job didn’t seem to last following the allegations and a change in attitude from all of her co-workers. Gossip was a nightmare, ruined reputations overnight. The worst part was her Aunt was diagnosed with dementia. Her aunt was ill, terribly ill. It broke Evie’s heart.

### New Life

All of this led to Evie trying to figure out what had happened to her. As it would turn out - her still not knowing this - that the trauma and abuse had forcefully activated her hidden X-Gene. She had become a mutate. But more than that, the X-Gene had merged with her subconscious. Her thoughts. Her biggest comfort and the one person she looked up to most in the world. Her own imaginary hero: Echo. But she didn’t know that. She won’t for a long time…

Evie went onto live in Monaco Bay, being supported by the wealth of her Aunt - who lived in Monaco already in a very expensive area. She had trouble supporting her aunt and attempts to help her, even at her extremely young age. And with the PTSD haunts her, as do her new powers which she tries to learn to manage and control everything going on in her life.

## Personality

Formerly being confident and strong, now being reduced to a somewhat shy and closeted person, Evie holds an anger and sadness within her that can cause her to lash out onto people with disastrous consequences. Overall however, Evie tries her best to be a nice and good person, keeping many of her issues out of sight of others to ‘protect’ them. Inside Evie is broken and hurting, her external image merely being a cover to hide her true nature of sadness.

## Physical Appearance

Evie Holmes is a 5 foot 6 inch tall, blonde, hazel eyed young woman, weighing in at around 121 pounds. She is a fairly small woman, but with a lot more sternness to her than meets the eye. She tends to wear average clothes consisting of a brown overcoat atop a kind of t-shirt (usually patterned) with skinny jeans and trainers. Evie's clothes never tend to go darker than a dark blue, wanting to keep the physical impression of everything being okay for her when - in actuality - it sometimes isn't.

As well as this Evie owns her Echo Suit, a purple near-skin tight super suit with inside padding and protection as well as sound absorbent and sound exuding materials on it to accommodate her "character's" powers, not knowing she would one day gain these powers. For this latter reason, and due to her traumatic past, she rarely wears the suit as she never truly feels either worthy of it or quite simply doesn't feel in the mood to wear anything akin to such bright purple and white colours.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

Evie has the ability to manipulate sound waves and build them up into great attacks with any part of his body. She can also produce sound waves to use as attacks and use them to push herself off of the ground, allowing her to fly. Her abilities also have extended to her being able to increase her own speed, strength and agility - all of these being enhanced on their own and with the sonic-wave abilities enhancing them. There are also a great many things she can do atop this - but nothing too OP so I wont go into it.

### Abilities

Evie is an above average combatant and tactical thinker - most notably in high tension situations. She is also very creative and able to make a great many things with just her hands.

## Weaknesses

PTSD, depression, mortality, lashes of anger and/or sadness (can lead to her abilities being opened up in public by accident)

## Equipment

As far as equipment goes, Evie has the standard items any woman of her age would have including her clothing, phone, laptop, etc.

One of her more unique items is her Echo Suit, a super suit she made for herself which resembled her childhood hero - a superhero she made on her own of whom she now has the powers of.

## Trivia

Some argue this is due to her traumatic past, however Evie insists she has always felt like this.
