Toxic Edge
April Briar Chance-Steele (a.k.a. Toxic Edge)
April Chance-Steele, best known as Toxic Edge, is a member of The Unbroken, and a world-famous hero. April was the second non-founding member to join, though her predecessor (Raven) had left before they came to the city where April lived. Though she stuck with the then-unnamed team long enough to meet Zephyr, April eventually chose to stay behind in Verdant Grove (then known as Columbus Grove), working as a solo vigilante.
As a vigilante, April met with another former member of the Unbroken: Eunice Steele, who went by the name Raven. The two of them bonded over their experiences as Mundane heroes, and grew increasingly close over time. They started to date, and years later, even got married.
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
Extensively tattooed. Still working out what she has, exactly, but she definitely has a sleeve on her right arm, with the tattoo sprawling across shoulders and chest, as well as left upper arm. Consists primarily of common ivy, but also includes a violet centered on her chest, and a flying raven on her back. She also has a large flowery tattoo on the outside of her left thigh.
Apparel & Accessories
April's vigilante and superhero costumes have always favored utility over appearance. As a Mundane hero who relied on her knowledge and tools over powers, she always loads her costumes with pockets, belts, and other ways to carry equipment.
Specialized Equipment
Though April has used a wide variety of tools throughout her career as vigilante, as a superhero she tends to stick to three types of weaponry, all poison-based. Her primary weapon are a pair of daggers, laced with non-fatal poisons, which slow the target down. She also carries poison darts (and a dart blower) with the same poisons, for longer range. Finally, April is armed with poison bombs, with a variety of dust-based poisons, to be used depending on the circumstances. Though these bombs were originally glass vials, they have since been replaced with alternatives that aren't quite as dangerous after use.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
April was robbed by a fairly big gang. She tried to fight back, or at least protested and tried to get her money back, but police interfered and wrongfully deduced that she was causing trouble, not the group of white boys that had just robbed her. Pissed off but knowing she couldn’t do anything now, she turned to vigilante justice instead. Just as she was going out however, armed and ready to fight, she accidentally stumbled across Jaya who was going to do that exact thing. They joined forces for a while, before Jaya left while April stuck around to protect her neighborhood. She eventually ran into Eunice, and they became fast friends (and later, they started dating as well).
Eventually April (joined by Eunice) dropped in to save Jaya from a mess she had gotten herself and her team into. They joined the Unbroken—properly this time.
