Medusa

## Origin

### The Fire

When Samantha was five years old. She was in a house fire that left her arms severely burned. She was unable to touch anything, and it left her in a lot of pain. Her father was a scientist who worked on skin grafting, and spent years researching on how to heal his daughter. He managed to get funding, by an organisation known as Acha Divided.

### Experiments

Her father had began research to test on skin grafting using a regenerative like gravel which was stolen by Acha Divided when they had raided a Vortex base.

During one of the tests her father was performing on her, Hurricane attacked the facility, (this was because the test was being funded by Acha Divided, and Hurricane wanted to know information on Jason Brigs, the leader of Acha Divided). During the attack, Hurricane broke chemical canisters within the facility to incapacitate the thugs that were working with Samantha’s father. Some of these chemicals (chemical compound Z-4) splashed onto Samantha. She was in hiding at the time, and the mix of the regenerative gravel, along with the chemical compound, caused the gravel crafting to overwork, and it turned her arms, up to her elbows, into stone. This stone went through her skin, and into her blood.

Samatha looked into the dense smoke of the facility, she saw Hurricane float as a dark silhouette within the smoke, looking down upon her father, he lifted up his hands in submission and fear, but he couldn’t the information Hurricane wanted, and with a clench of his raised fist, Hurricane crushed her father’s windpipe, killing him in an instant.

### Growing Power

Over the next few years, she slowly learnt to control her new powers which she had gained, as this could turn people and anything she touched into stone. She could also reanimate those she turned into stone, as living warriors who worked for her.

After a while, she finally gained full control of her powers, and decided to hunt down The Hurricane for revenge for her father, who was just trying to help her. As he didn’t care who funded his project, he was working to create a life changing medication, and his daughter was his top priority. She was led to Acha Divided, and joined, with the promise that if she worked for Jason Brigs she would get to kill The Hurricane. She quickly earned the nickname, Medusa.

### Madeeva

She would head back to her hometown, and there she would go to back ally clubs, and things, and start recruiting people, slowly gaining power, bribing already power men to work for her. She goes to a pub called The Perseus, and she would turn the leader into stone, and essentially take over the place overnight. She would then build a gang empire from there.
