Secret Origins - EVAC I

As a young girl, Jennifer Pace was always empathetic. She brought her parents animals with the slightest injuries and cried when playmates were hurt, even if the playmate wasn't crying. But empathy and sympathy are two different things.

As a teenager, Jennifer began inflicting pain. She hurt animals on purpose and caused injury to her classmates. After she was caught and punished, she would start again. Her therapist likened it to the phenomena of "cutting", as Jennifer seemed to feel the pain she inflicted. This pain seemed to overwhelm other emotions, and although some thought Jennifer appeared to enjoy it, that was an over-simplification. The girl felt like no one understood her, and her classmates often teased and picked on her.

When she was 16, the new school counselor gave her a proposition. She had a gift, he said, though a minor one. He could help her focus that gift. He would teach her how to use it and make her very, very rich. She liked the idea and agreed. She was introduced to David Styrm and so began the experiments.

She was infused with a kind of healing gift to supplement her own empathy. This remarkable regeneration surfaced in at least one odd way: she could fire pieces of her own body (typically fingernails) at high speed. The experiment to gift her with teleportation uncovered an oddity as well. Jennifer gained instantaneous access to a secret chamber buried beneath a step-pyramid in the Amazon. The reason for this has never been discovered, but Jennifer could instantaneously enter that chamber from anywhere and then exit it *to* anywhere, seemingly allowing her the ability to go wherever she wished.

Her uniform covers her from head to toe, leaving only her eyes and fingertips uncovered: an all-white body-suit with a simple red cross on the chest. She is a striking brunette with piercing green eyes. The other Night Captains consider her powers weak, so she often strives to prove just how vicious she can be, going over the top to injure and inflict pain... until the retreat is called and she has to drag her team-mates back to the Nights' hidden base.
