Roseline Epp

So Lockpick/Alesca/Alethea and I decided the world needs asleep-deprived superhero. Too bad that superhero has no realsuperpowers and his sidekick does... too bad we haven't decided whatsaid sidekick's powers ARE. I'm thinking something involving spectrumand all that jazz...

Anyway, here she is, in all of her Prozac-induced glory: Rosaline "Ros" Epp.

For years, the young Ros had shouldered the burden of protecting hercity from scum and villainy alone! Woe was she, she needed a sidekick!Then one evening (in her junior year of senior high, no less) while outpatrolling the city for nasties, she by chance encountered a man garbedin the uniform of of a grocery store clerk locked in mortal combat witha shadowed man! She had found her sidekick.

This man (in reality, no superhero by any stretch of the imagination)was not impressed with her proposition; not only was he adamantlyagainst being anyone's sidekick, he was against the superhero shtick ingeneral. All the man, whose name was Nicodemus Rupert ("Ah!" exclaimedRos, "A name crafted for greatness!"), desired was sleep... and copiousamounts of it at that.

Through her natural charm (or what those who knew her well would saywas extreme annoyance) she coerced Nicodemus to join her, though thesidekick title was hoisted onto Ros; and together they... hopesomething dangerous happens.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now then, Ros is the daughter of a ridiculously wealthy retiredsuperhero so she has more than enough funding for her "heroic"escapades and costumes. Nicodemus (given the title of "Crankyman" byRos) is a terribly sleep-deprived thirty-seven-year-old man who's stuckin a low-paying job at a chain supermarket. Ros gets about as muchsleep as Nic does, what with school and playing superhero, but itdoesn't show as it does with him... she lives on high-caffeinebeverages and anti-depressants/stimulants. Together they make adysfunctional team at best.

As of the moment, Ros's superpowers are rainbow-y light crap... this issubject to change. And yes, that is a strand of hair she's holding,most likely her own.

This style look like Gorillaz did the bump-nasty with The Venture Bros. and had inbred babies. Oh yes indeed.
