Amy Harper spent most of her days in her father's care after he and her mother broke up. It wouldn't be long until Aaron Synner impregnated another girl and gained a new younger brother, only for the same thing to happen a second time, except this time there was a court case, which resulted in Synner gaining full custody of the son his ex named Omar Enriquez. Shortly after, Amy would fall into the custody of Ignacio Rodriquez due to unexpected complications on Synner's end. Igna and his new children spent the next five years together until Amy was kidnapped by her biological mother and sent to an underwater city known as Rapture. She spent the rest of her childhood being continuously experimented on by her own mother, all for the sake of creating the "perfect utopian." By the time she was almost seventeen, she was rescued by her father and brought back under his care. Since then, Amy took it upon herself to become an investigative journalist.

Years later, Harper would be recruited into The Community alongside her brother due to her expert hacking skills. Because of how easily she was able to obtain information, she was given the codename: Athena. As Amy gained more experience, she would eventually fight alongside The Community, using the powers she obtained from her mother's experiments to her advantage until being robbed of them by Nick Dalakis. After the many disasters under Nikolai Potter's leadership of The Community, she decided to leave the organization for good, completely vanishing without a single trace. Shortly after she joined forces with a terrorist splinter group called Death Watch and served as their lieutenant. After Dalakis' takeover of the splinter group, Amy rebelled, thus splitting Death Watch in two. Her sect of rebels, the Nite Owls, briefly fought alongside The Community until Nick's defeat. From there, Amy would reform the Mandalorians under the Supercommando Codex and the Nite Owls would work as highly-paid mercenaries.

### **Early Life**

> *"Amy is **my** child. **Mine**. She doesn't deserve to have a worthless scumbag of a father!"*

> *-Valerie to Ignacio before her escape*

After Valerie Torrero gave birth to Amy Torrero, Aaron Synner immediately grew to love the child, viewing her as his heir to his legacy. Valerie on the other hand had other plans for Amy, secretly planning to put Synner out of the picture and keep young Amy to herself. After Valerie's failed attempt to kill Synner, he took Amy and left Valerie alone and unconscious in a dumpster. Months later he impregnated another woman, who gave birth to Amy's younger brother, Omar Enriquez. Both father and mother fought for the custody of the new child in court, resulting in Synner's victory, but Synner would eventually lose custody of the child to Ignacio Rodriquez due to complications. Igna would immediately then have Amy's last name changed to Harper, deciding that it was best that she didn't bear her mother's nor her father's last name. Igna and the children then moved out of Manhattan and started a new life in the Community City.

Five years later, Igna would be invited to go on a cruise. Little did he realize, the vacation invite was nothing more than a setup by Valerie Torrero in another attempt to take Amy for herself. The moment Amy witnessed Valerie's face on that cruise ship during her awkward conversation with her father, she immediately recognized it: the face she kept seeing in her own nightmares. Later that night, Valerie snatched Amy and ran off. Hearing Amy's cry for help, Ignacio woke up and pursued Valerie, eventually cornering her near one of the ship's edges. In order to ensure her own escape, she called in her own goons to distract Igna while she drove off in a speedboat with Harper in custody.

### **Creating the "Perfect Utopian"**

On August 13th, 2005, Amy would wake in Rapture: the very place where she would be spending the next eleven years of her life. The first few years were spent with Valerie trying to fill Amy's head with her own ideals, seeing Amy as her own successor. Escape was impossible as well since Amy's mother had full control of the underwater city. Though Amy didn't bother paying much attention during Valerie's "lessons," she resorted to reading books instead, figuring it was the best way to educate herself. By the age of ten, her mother would begin to experiment on her own daughter by injecting large doses of ADAM in her system. As time passed by, the worse these experiments have gotten. Unlike most others who used ADAM, Harper's body did not experience the negative side effects of the drug, which only further pushed Valerie into continuing the experiments. Amy would describe these moments as the worst years of her life.

### **Escape from Rapture**

> *"I can't wait to rip that fucking spine out of your mouth you psychotic bitch! You're going to feel **real** pain, just as I have all these years thanks to you."*

On January 15th, 2016, Ignacio would finally arrive to Rapture. His visit would not go unnoticed, especially not by Valerie. Learning that her adoptive father had finally arrived to rescue her, Amy would secretly aid him through the use of her bond with the Little Sisters despite being trapped in confinement. Through this method, she would leave messages for Igna throughout the city as well as gifts that could aid him in his quest. After fighting his way through Rapture, Igna would finally find his daughter inside a quarantine chamber within the Persephone. He would shortly be assaulted by a group Valerie's Splicers along with a Big Sister, but would prevail in the end, breaking Harper out of the chamber and giving her an armored diving suit worn by Big Sisters. The two then split up to find a key to Valerie's personal submarine: their only means of escape. This would further anger Valerie, causing her to detonate a bomb that destroyed half of the inner Persephone, seemingly killing Igna. This action only enraged Amy, making her vow to get vengeance for her stepfather's apparent death.

After finding the key and learning that Valerie was inside the submarine with the intent of blowing all of Rapture to kingdom come, Harper made no hesitation in confronting her own mother inside the sub. At first, Valerie would try to talk her daughter into "continuing what they started" and to forget whatever ties she had with her father. Amy took that as an offense and lunged at her own mother, using whatever powers she had gained to fight Valerie. Throughout the fight, the submarine would rise to the surface and both females would fight for the detonator. In the end, the detonator was smashed, preventing the destruction of Rapture. Valerie would be brutally murdered and ripped to pieces by her own daughter. Little did she realize, during the whole brawl, Igna held on to the submarine as it rose, watching the spectacle from the outside. From that point, Amy and Igna would return to Community City and go back to having a normal life.

### **Civil War**

On April 23rd, 2023, tensions would arise within The Community. Shortly after the falling out between Ignacio and Jessepool, Amy's relationship with her brother remained downhill, resulting in her taking Jesse's side in this war despite having to fight against her adoptive father. Throughout most of the war, Harper would use her expert hacking skills to gain a leverage over the enemy team, keeping her own side well informed of the enemy's plans and actions. The war would last for three weeks until it reached its climax in the Battle of Toronto. During the battle that took place in Toronto, Ontario, the information "Athena" constantly fed Jesse's team allowed them to easily strategize and make fatal blows to Igna's team. This only put a larger target on her back, forcing her own brother to personally go on a hunt. Despite her location being top secret, Omar was able to find her after stealing the memories of Jesse's troops. This led to a confrontation between the two which shortly turned into a battle. Despite putting up a good fight against her brother, Omar knocked her unconscious and turned the tides of the war by using his sister's laptop and posing as her, giving Jesse's team false information and leading them into constant traps, but would eventually catch on and discover that Amy was actually out of commission. As soon as she woke up, she would discover that not only had Jesse's side won and The Community had disbanded, but her own father died in the process of this war. Deeply regretting her actions, Harper took it upon herself to try and make things right. Deciding that she would no longer hide her powers and use them for the greater good, she grabbed her old armored diving suit and became a vigilante.

### **The Return of Nick Dalakis**

On May 3rd, 2026, a tyrant and former Community member named Nick Dalakis would threaten The Community City, forcing Amy Harper and Ash Demate to bring The Community back together. While Ash made the attempt to recruit other members such as Julian Kho, Omar Enriquez, and Jesse Gromyko, Amy would return to Rapture with a sample of Igna's DNA, rigging one of the Vita Chambers to bring him back to life. Shortly after Ignacio's resurrection, she apologized to her own father and described the situation to him, convincing him to team up with Jessepool and fight against Lord Dalakis.

After returning to the surface and figuring out that her brother had given up after being weakened by Dalakis, Amy would confront him and talk him into rejoining the fight, even going as far as to try and rekindle her old former friendship with him and accept him as a better man. Upon discovering that Dalakis was attempting to purge every Community member that joined the fight, Harper rushed to warn Omar and Ash, whom by then had already suffered injuries in their fight with Dalakis. The two had a brief showdown, but Harper was eventually overpowered and would have been killed if Ignacio and Kaine Parkeropoulos had not interfered. Using their distraction to her advantage, the four of them managed to overpower Dalakis, forcing him to retreat.

### **Entering Dark Space**

> *"So that's it!? You're just going to let everything and everyone die just because if you can't rule, no one else can. We were hoping to bargain, not stand here and watch you act like a narcissistic toddler! If it were up to me, I'd **kill** you for what you did to my brother, but you're **lucky** Igna is here to hold me back. Go ahead. Sit here, eat shit, and fucking die! YOU PRICK!"*

> *-A pissed off Amy to Makuta Teridax*

After Dalakis' defeat at the hands of Ignacio, she and Iggy would uncover the existence of a synthetic-organic race known as the Reapers and their sinister plot to purge the galaxy of all lifeforms. Realizing that they needed help, Amy and Ignacio would break into Nick Dalakis' lair in order to request his aid, but were immediately engaged by the tyrant's robotic minions. Being left no choice, the two fought wave after wave until they finally reached Dalakis, only to see that he had become a cyborg and started calling himself Makuta Teridax. Despite the constant pestering, Makuta refused their request at first, but eventually gave in and traveled with them to Dark Space in order to fight the potential invaders. After a long and heated battle, the three would be pushed back to their own solar system, almost getting Earth involved in the fray. Though the battle was long and intense, the invaders lost their advantage when other members of The Community jumped into the fray, allowing Teridax to make the final blow. Shortly after the Reapers' destruction the three returned to Earth's surface, but by the time they stepped foot on Earth, Dalakis back stabbed his supposed "allies" at the last minute by draining Amy of her ADAM abilities. Dalakis escaped shortly after and Igna took a weakened Amy back home, only to discover that the other members of The Community had been dealing with a second outbreak of the Blacklight virus in their absence. Upon witnessing the aftermath of this incident, Amy's faith in Nikolai's leadership began to diminish.

### **The Last Straw**

> *"Tyrone, Derrick, Joseph-- you're no better than any of them. You're a piece of shit just like those worthless punks!"*

> *-Amy to Nikolai at the Christmas Party*
>
>

On December 25th, 2026, The Community threw another Christmas party that would end up disastrous. Once Amy Harper arrived late to the party, she was immediately hit on by Misha A.K.A The Pokemon Go kid who was extremely high. To further annoy her, President Nikolai (who was also high) continuously encouraged Misha's actions. Responding to this, Harper shoved Misha and yelled at Nikolai, which caught the attention of literally anyone in the room. As time passed by, Amy would eventually snap, punching Nikolai's cheek and leaving the building in pure frustration. Since then she had completely went off the grid, disappearing completely with no trace left behind.

### **Joining Death Watch**

On January 23rd, 2027 Amy stumbled across an abandoned mine. Out of curiosity she wandered inside, eventually stumbling across more modern tech deep inside as well as weapons and Mandalorian armor. Shortly after picking up and observing a Mandalorian helmet, she was immediately jumped by two men in full Mandalorian armor. The sounds of the commotion alerted the rest of the armored men, forcing Amy to fight her way out of the mine. Once making it outdoors, she did not escape but rather stumbled into the heart of the operation. Shortly after Harper was approached by group's leader, which led to a brief duel between the two. After overpowering Amy, the leader offered her his hand and revealed himself to be Aaron Synner. Synner also revealed that not only was he her real biological father but that the "father" she knew all her life was a fake who stole his own children. Synner also offered Amy a place in his splinter group called Death Watch, using her hatred for Nikolai as well as his status as her father to manipulate her into joining. Despite being skeptical at first, Amy chose to hear Synner out and accepted his offer. From there she spent the next year endlessly training and understanding the tenets of the Resol'nare. Her high-end performances as a former Community member allowed her to rise up the ranks very quickly, earning the rank of lieutenant.

## **Personality**

During her time in Rapture, Harper grew a rebellious sense of nature, often disobeying her own mother every chance she got. She took great enjoyment in annoying Valerie as a way of payback for the experiments. Over time, the notion of "eye for an eye" would be self-instilled, hence her tendency to hold onto grudges. Such is evident with her dislike towards Nikolai Potter, even years after she resigned from The Community and the corporation. She is foulmouthed, stubborn, disrespectful (especially towards her own brother), and often not afraid of a fight. Her few years as an investigative journalist also taught her to be nosy. For a long period after her escape from Rapture, Amy viewed herself as a freak, fearing her own powers would doom her as an outsider to society. This led to her keeping her powers hidden to the best of her ability for the sake of a normal life, though repeated exposure to The Community after her recruitment made her feel more secure of her talents. One year after her recruitment, she would embrace her given ADAM abilities and utilize them to make the world a better place.

Her relationship with her brother is a complicated one. When Ignacio rescued Amy from Valerie's clutches, Amy grew fond of her brother after reuniting with him. Such feelings did not last when she discovered the dark truth behind her brother. Upon her discovery of his involvement with Red King Mafia, her respect for him gradually diminished. Even after Omar became a Prototype and lost his memory, Amy still refused to help him due to his horrendous actions, but would eventually do so after being convinced by Matt King. Her dislike for him played a role in The Community's civil war, as she chose to side with Jessepool right when Omar sided with his father. Though Amy would admit she deeply regretted that decision, not because of her brother, but because she didn't side with her father. Not long after Nick Dalakis' attempted takeover of Community City, Amy rekindled her old yet brief friendship with her brother, acknowledging his accomplishments as a better man and apologizing for her harsh and irrational behavior over the years. During her time as a Community member, she despised Nikolai Potter and felt very uncomfortable with the idea of him becoming leader of The Community, describing the organization as a whole shit show under his leadership.

Shortly after joining Death Watch, Amy used her hatred for Nikolai as a means to push herself, often imagining scenarios of his failure for inspiration as encouraged by Aaron Synner. As Death Watch's lieutenant she was confident and displayed signs of being sardonic, examples being when she mocked Joseph Williams' injuries in battle or when she sarcastically commented on her father's failed attempt to negotiate with the Faggotish Five. She is also a capable strategist, formulating her own plans and finding ways to adapt whenever things don't go as planned. Amy is even willing to go through great lengths to ensure Nikolai's destruction given she had little to no problem with Death Watch's extreme and violent methods in order to do so, much in contrast with her old beliefs when she used to shun Omar for his old behavior. No doubt her merciless change in personality was influenced by Synner, falling directly under his manipulative tendencies. While she saw it as nothing more than father-daughter bonding, Synner on the other hand wanted to mold her into his heir. As a result of Valerie's kidnapping and experiments, the long-term trauma led to Amy's desperation to fill in the parental gap. This made it easier for Synner to manipulate her behaviour once he proved to her he was her real biological father. While she may have slaughtered many with little to no remorse, Amy is not completely heartless, such being displayed when she was hesitant to pull the trigger on her own friends. Her first year within Death Watch ranks was spent not only endlessly training, but learning the ways of the Mandalorians. Constant exposure to their ideals combined with the regrets of her past actions resulted in Amy becoming more loyal to those she considered close, even going as far as to rebel against Nick Dalakis in Synner's when he usurped control of Death Watch and Da Institute. Overtime however, light on Aaron Synner's true nature would shed, which made her respect for him diminish.

After Dalakis' defeat, Amy would decide to be her own person and became the next Manda'lor, earning the title "Mandalore the Redeemer" for her attempts to bring the Mandalorians into a new age of honor, doing away with their old barbaric ways while still grasping their warrior codes and culture. This would lead to the Mandalorians prospering up until 2060, when Sundari City fell victim to a siege by Arasaka Corporation.

## **Powers and Abilities**

### **ADAM Related Abilities**

After the experiments, Amy Harper gained several new abilities that give her edge in combat and mobility. After The Community's second civil war, she would start making attempts to master her abilities. Such abilities include:

* **Pyrokinesis:** Harper has the power to produce fire, allowing her to fire bursts of flames from her palms. She can also create fireballs that explode on impact. In most cases, she'll shoot them out of her palms in a sudden barrage.

* **Telekinesis:** Using her mind, Amy can make objects and people levitate. This ability however has limits. When using this technique, she can either throw things or pull them in her direction. Despite this, she is capable of lifting multiple objects at once.

* **Teleportation:** Whenever Amy teleports, a purple energy ripple spawns around her which somehow creates some kind of screeching noise. This can be used to evade attacks and make travel easier for the user. Despite the user being able to travel far through means of teleportation, Harper can only teleport up to a certain distance.

* **ADAM Drain:** Using the syringe on her armored diving suit, Amy is capable of draining ADAM and sending it straight into her system. This allows her to heal her wounds. The only downside is that ADAM is not common on the surface and can only be found in Rapture.
* **Little Sister Possession:** Amy has the ability to remotely enter the minds of Little Sisters and control their every actions.

## **Equipment**

### **Diving suit**

After her escape from Rapture and during her time with The Community, Amy donned an armored diving suit that was worn by Big Sisters. The suit completely reduced whatever damage she received and would illuminate a certain color depending on her mood. The visor on her helmet would glow three colors: Red indicated hostility, yellow stands for neutral, and green indicated she was friendly. The suit was also equipped with a large syringe on its left arm which was used for combat purposes and allowed her to drain and absorb ADAM.
