Crossbow
An Tai (a.k.a. Crossbow)
"You crossed the wrong superhero today!"
Physical Description
Special abilities
At thirteen, An manifested metahuman abilities. They enable her to produce high density energy bolts of various flavors tending towards the elements. She drawns the rigid bolts like a line with her finger along a flat surface. They are explosive in nature, releasing the element in question on impact. While they can be thrown, the weight of them make them more suitable to be fired from a weapon, like the crossbow she carries.
Crossbow can produce a variety of bolts via this skill. She tends to favor the basic elements: ice, fire, lightning, and stone (diamond).
Apparel & Accessories
Crossbow wears a tight fitting red bodysuit with ceramic and kevlar inserts. She relies on her acrobatic agility in combat to survive.
Specialized Equipment
Crossbow carries a specially built lightweight combat crossbow, which she uses to project her high density energy bolts. The weapon has a a high tech battery built into the butt which powers a return rail system, instantly recocking the weapon. When this battery is depleted, she is left to cock it herself which is challenging for her size.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Tai An was born into vast wealth, her family owning one of the worlds largest shipping conglomerates. When she was ten, she was kidnapped by the Golden Dawn, seeking to manipulate her family into smuggling weapons for them. Using her wit and daring, she escaped, but swore never to be weak enough for it to happen again. She poured herself into studying the martial arts: wing-chun kungfu, archery, and fencing.
After her metahuman abilities manifested, she decided that being strong carried great responsibility. She started sneaking out at night to combat crime, masked. Before long, she had made a name for her herself and was recruited by the Junior Union of Legends as a team member.
An still tries to maintain her personal life, torn between the world of a nighttime superhero and her socialite identity. She strongly believes that her wealth can do as much good as her combat skills.
