## History

### Origins

Voix, known to the public as Scarlett Mercer or simply Scarlett or Sky Mercer is known for being a local heroine in her city. Her morals lifted her up throughout the heads and people began calling her a “hero” as her heroine persona, Harmony. Sky Mercer was born December 27, 1997 to her mother, Madline Mercer and her father, Liam Mercer. For the first few years of her life, she was a normal girl who was really into ballet and dance. She started doing ballet and dance when she was 5 years old. Every year she had gotten significantly better at it and had a strong passion for it. But nothing is good forever. When Sky turned 8, she found out her dance instructor was a wanted criminal. Sky found out by seeing documents on her desk about testing on/killing the children in the ballet class. Once she discovered it, she quickly told her parents in which they didn’t believe her.

So, Scarlett continued warning her parents about said dance instructor. They never believed her. One day, a few months after Sky had found out about this, she was called in by that dance instructor to have a private dance session, little did she know that “session” would change her life. The dance session wasn’t a dance session. In fact, the dance instructor was planning to test on her so the dance instructor injected Scarlett with sedatives to make her sleep as she tested on her.

A few hours after Sky was tested on, she woke up. She found that her throat hurt and she couldn’t talk. When she saw that was the case, she began panicking and trying to scream for help, but she couldn’t. Once the instructor came in, he threated Sky that she would kill her family if she screamed for help. Not that she could at the time. But, Sky agreed, for the sake of her family.

So nothing looked suspicious, the instructor send her home with a chip on her so she could listen in whatever Scarlett says. But, Sky had said something about it and showed her parents the chip. Scarlett’s parents told her that she’d go talk to the dance instructor the next day. But that didn’t happen.

Jackson and Scarlett were out because Alex was sick and he brought her to the doctor. The moment that they arrived, Jackson was hit over the head and sent to the same laboratory that Scarlett was sent to, along with 4 year old Alex. When Jackson, Lexi and Sky woke up, they were strapped into a chair and had just finished a procedure. All three of them in the same room.

When the dance instructor, who was actually a scientist, came in, Scarlett resisted and tried to get out of the leather straps that she was tied in. She was screaming for help when she realized she couldn’t get out, and as she let out her next scream caused her "meta-Gene" to kick in (Or if we're doing the particle accelerator then the particle accelerator would go off causing her powers to activate) in one of those screams she let out a loud, sonic scream that destroyed the wall and made the scientist go absolutely deaf. Jackson realized that he had electrokinesis, and destroyed every machine in the room and destroyed the straps where he then started untying his sisters.

They all started running until they realized they had nowhere to go. By now, they were in some alleyway in Central City where they could easily be shot. Now, if it weren’t for some super secret government agency, they would be dead.

### Ten Years Later & Life With The Government

While they were with that government agency, they were trained to use their powers. Since Sky had sonic scream and sound manipulation, she was mostly trying to find her weaknesses when she sonic screamed, since it was something dangerous that could damage another person or herself. And since Jackson had Electrokinesis, he learned how to manipulate electricity and use it in his will, and he also learned his limitations and weaknesses. And now for Lexi, she learned how to manipulate the crystals, she has yet to learn her full weaknesses.

### Another Four Years Later

They’ve adopted heroism and they now use their powers for justice and for good. Scarlett named herself Voix, but the funny thing is that she doesn’t cause Voix. And another ironic thing is that she sings. Sky has accepted her past but is still heavily burdened by it, and she still has yet to learn about herself.

## Personality

Scarlett is a tortured soul due to having witnessed the death of her parents hundreds of times over. Like his mother, she copes by smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. She is also implied to be an insomniac. Despite her tragic life, Sky loved her family and was very friendly towards ARGUS and anyone who's a part of that organization. Scarlett is known to be occasionally hyper, and "full of energy." People also noted her for her bravery. She is anti-authoritarian. She has been described by her younger sister, Alex as "snappy" and "defiant" and "charming." Furthermore, Jackson has described Scarlett's behavior as "wild and flirtatious." Sky displays her mischievous side in school (When she went to it), by showing up late and using her powers to pick on her teachers without them knowing. Scarlett's also has a habit of teasing her siblings, and has been described by Alex as "witty." She is often and easily distracted, meaning she possibly has ADHD. Jackson has also stated that he is extremely loyal. Sky is also progressive, as she is vocally against racism, homophobia and sexism. She often starts her sentences with "I wonder" and usually leaves rooms without saying goodbye. She does not like being called "adorable" and hates receiving compliments.

## Powers And Abilities

### Powers:

#### Sonic Scream-

**Counter Vibration-** Sky can create a counter vibrating frequency to cancel out another object's frequency, thereby destroying it. This ability takes advantage of the ideal that everything (including objects, living creatures, immaterial creatures, space, time, matter, energy, etc.) gives off a vibrating frequency, and by emitting an opposing frequency, both the frequency and the object are destroyed. Sonic Scream: Scarlett can emit/generate extremely powerful screams of a high amplitude for a variety of purposes.

**Counter Vibration-** Scarlett can create a counter vibrating frequency to cancel out another object's frequency, thereby destroying it. This ability takes advantage of the ideal that everything (including objects, living creatures, immaterial creatures, space, time, matter, energy, etc.) gives off a vibrating frequency, and by emitting an opposing frequency, both the frequency and the object are destroyed.

**Sound Beam Emission-** Scarlett can emit beams of sound that are capable of destroying anything within their path with a concussive force. She is also able to control the frequency and intensity of the blast in order to increase its already destructive power.

Sound Wave Generation - Scarlett can generate and project sound waves Vibration Emission - Scarlett can generate vibration waves that can push targets over, repulsed them away, shatter them, even cause earthquakes by shaking the ground or dislodging underground tectonic plates, thus causing earthquakes.

#### **Sound Manipulation-**

Scarlett can create, shape and manipulate sound, a periodic disturbance of a medium (air, ground, water, etc) that radiates outward linearly in the form of a pressure wave. The effect these waves upon the ear is perceived as sound. From the point of view of physics, sound is considered to be the waves of vibratory motion themselves, whether or not they are heard by the human ear. She can mimic, intensify, hush, and distort, as well warp, strengthen, echo, speed up, and slow down sound, using it as a powerful physical force and high-speed movement. At low frequencies, sound can be potentially fatal to living beings by causing internal damage, while high frequencies cannot be heard by normal humans but can be used for sonar-like effects. Since sound vibrations can travel through the air, ground, water and any form of medium, defense by using physical barriers is difficult. The vibrations can also affect at a molecular level. In essence, sound is an invisible, deadly weapon and a versatile tool.

### Abilities:

**Peak Human Speed:** Sky (Scarlett) is athletic and light on her feet, as she could run a mile in five minutes and 19 seconds (11.29 mph) prior to her arm incident.

**Expert Acrobat:** Scarlet is an incredibly skilled acrobat and gymnast. Even with only one arm, she was able to quickly move across a telephone wire, and she even regularly performs front aerials on top of narrow railings.

**Bow Expertise:** Sky is a highly skilled archer, able to fire a bow and arrow upside down. Skilled

**Markswoman:** Scarlett is skilled in the use of firearms. She can pick up any gun and use it effectively.

**Expert Metalworker:** Sky is capable of using hands to create incredibly intricate pieces of art. She has shown this with Jackson's birthday present, a small metal ferris wheel, and with a pair of cufflinks she made Tiresias.

**Skilled Martial Artist:** Scarlett is trained in Shotokan Karate and Krav Maga, and is familiar with Eskrima and Muay Thai. She primarily focused on weapons training, however, as she has been seen wielding a katar and a kunai on separate occasions.

**Spear Skills:** Sky is capable of spearfishing.

**Expert Spy:** Sky is an excellent spy, and has been one for several years.

## Weaknesses

**Sonic Scream:** Sound Absorption renders direct use useless. Sound/sonic waves can be reflected off certain objects, like mirrors. Rendered utterly useless when the user is gagged by any means. Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, ground or water, though it can be virtually anything. May not work against Sound Immunity or Sound Nullification. May not have hearing or vocal protection, making use of this ability painful. Flow of sound waves often cause accidental destruction to nearby objects. May cause unintentional harm to distant targets, including beings with sensitive/enhanced/superhuman hearing. Damage to the vocal cord may render this power useless. Sound Manipulation: May be unable to create sound, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources. Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of Scarlett. Sound requires a medium to travel through, such as air, ground or water, though it can be virtually anything. Sound Nullification and Silence Manipulation can nullify Sky's powers. Users of Sound Immunity or Sound Absorption are either immune or highly resistant.

### Other Weaknesses:

**ADHD:** Sky has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. She has a nigh-inability to concentrate, and she has been noted by Jackson to be energetic at times. Other symptoms include being easily distracted by irrelevant stimuli, often impulsively abandoning one task for another, and a tendency to act without regard to consequences, often at the expense of personal safety. This condition is possibly a result of her formative drinking. Sky's inattentiveness only exacerbated the struggle of repeatedly experiencing the death of her parents. Her condition is untreated, meaning it can cause depression and trap her in it. She could do her best to keep up with activities, but habits would not really stick and stay a conscious effort, so no matter how hard she could try,s he would always end up in a mess and nothing would ever change. Even if she were to start planning her days, even excessively, she could not prioritize and everything would become too overwSkyming; it would feel like too much to handle. If she were to get interested in a topic and become proud of her knowledge, she could not depend on that knowledge to show up so people would not acknowledge her skills (except for mathematics). If she tried to be herself and get carried away with excitement or wanting to Skyp someone, she would always end up being too much for people, discouraging her from being herself. Scarlett's productivity can also vary due to her disorder; she can either get absolutely nothing done, get for hours of work done at a random time of day, or get 40 hours of work done in eight hours.

**Poor Social Skills:** In contrast to Sky’s other skills, her social intuition is extremely wanting. The bonding she missed only exacerbated Scarlett’s acceptance of being a lone wolf, which would stick with her throughout her life. Though she possesses leadership skills, she often disagrees with her siblings and teammates outside of missions because of her nigh-inability to pick up on social cues and she occasionally cannot distinguish between sincerity and humor. Her Awkward social skills have caused her to develop some self-doubt and have been the catalyst of several of her failed relationships, friends and family included.

**Human Vulnerabilities:** Sky is still human and harbors the same mortality as everybody else, which has been demonstrated by her receiving a wide variety of injuries throughout her life. However, her exceptional physical condition allows her to endure this and retaliate with her supreme hand-to-hand combat training.

**Emotions:** Sky, having a very dark past can be emotionally destroyed. If Sky is reminded of his past and all the people who have died in her life it would easily break her emotionally especially if she is reminded of her mother’s and father’s death. Her love for her family, especially Jackson (lol favoritism), is even stronger and was ultimately one of her biggest weaknesses.
