Origin

 

  • Asha Ivers grew up in the worst part of the city.
  • Her father left her mother, Rebecca was crippled during a robbery.
  • Asha dropped out of high-school as a teenager to look after her mom, she worked a number of jobs and even conspired in some minor drug deals to keep body and soul together.
  • One day she witnessed an old man drop his wallet before getting on the bus. She took the wallet, nothing was in it aside from a WWII medal. According to a local fence she could get a cool 10’000 for it. This would set her and her mom up for a while.
  • On her way to the fence she spotted the old man again, he looked despondent.
  • Despite her and her mom’s best interest Asha sat beside him and offered the medal back.
  • The old man was suddenly cloaked in brilliance, it turned out he was an Angel and Asha just passed his test. Thus the Heroine Moon Angel was born.

Personality and Methods

 

  • Asha watches her neighborhood like a guardian Angel.
  • She only intervenes in serious crimes such as murder or robbery. She doesn’t waste her time with drug dealers unless they’re selling some of the harder stuff.
  • Moon Angel will kill bad guys but she takes no joy in it and only does so with the worst offenders.
  • Her hero self is more of an urban legend, she hasn’t come out in public yet.
  • Her neighborhood has grown safer over her watch.

Powers

 

  • Asha can summon a bow of silvery moon light. It fires energy blasts that can stun or kill.
  • At will she can vanish from sight, though perceptive folk may be able to pick her out since her bow and arrow attacks aren’t invisible.
  • She can fly at about the speed she can run.
Apperance
  • Asha is a latino woman in her 20s.
  • She’s pretty but her street wise demeanor shows she’s no fool.
  • Long black hair, usually in a pony tail. Serious brown eyes.
  • Her costume is a white hooded cloak combined with a black body suit that has a crescent moon with wing emblem on her chest.
  • Behind her hood she wears a white opera half-mask that leaves the all but her chin covered.
