Melly G., local homeless kid followed around by packs of skeleton rats and one ominous cat zombie

First meeting with Red Hood went something like:

"So what's your deal, kid?" “I’m a homo mage or whatever,” Mel said, slurping on the soup cup he'd handed her and kicking her feet against the box. Red Hood stared (probably? He was wearing a mask) at her for a long moment before saying, “Homo magi. You mean homo magi.” “Yeah. Gay wizard,” she confirmed. He sighed, a sound the vocoder in his helmet translated as a rush of static. “That’s. Not what that means.” “You saying I can’t be a gay wizard?” She glared at him, pointing an accusing finger. “Homophobic.” “No, you can, it’s just… never mind.” “S’wha’ I thought,” she muttered into her cup.

Backstory: Melinda Graven was abandoned, along with the family cat, by her mother for unknown reasons at the age of 9. After a week of surviving in her house alone with only the food in the pantry, Mel left the house and hit the streets with her cat to find something to eat. She was, of course, quickly picked up by the police and put into the system.

Her first foster family was also her last. They were hard people who believed the worst of Melinda, and sought to punish her into being a more perfect child in line with their ideals. They forced her to go by her deadname and dress as they wanted. The fights between herself and her foster parents were long and loud and violent.

When Mel's cat Gravel attacked her foster father in defense of her master, the father strangled the cat to death in front of her. Melinda's natural affinity to necromancy emerged, reanimating her cat and a dozen other dead animals in the area besides. The family survived, but Mel fled into Gotham's streets, refusing to go back into state custody.

Over the years she's spent on the streets, she's reanimated a great deal of city-dwelling animals who act as her eyes and ears. They keep her aware of danger and potential allies, as well as acting as bodyguards if necessary.

While Mel doesn't trust the local vigilantes, she doesn't have any problems with them. She has gotten into scrapes with the bat family over her enthusiastic approval of necromantic revenge for animals slain unjustly by humans, but for her age and her motivations she is labelled as a potential danger and victim rather than a rogue.

Sun Sol-Ar | Solarflare

I've had this OC for a while but never drawn her!

This is Sun, a Kryptonian from an off-world colony that resisted the return to Krypton at the end of the age of exploration. Her family and their team elected to remain in their little science outpost and cut off contact with the homeworld.

Because Sun is generations removed from good old-fashioned Kryptonian bio-engineering, her ability to take in radiation is less efficient. On her colony-world, terraformed to resemble Krypton in a red-star system, this meant a sickly disposition, frequent headaches, and sunburns.

In the yellow light of Earth's sun, her strength, speed, stamina, and regeneration are all vastly improved--though she falls short of Superman levels of power. Like the rest of the Supers, she can release stored heat in bursts (can't focus through the eyes though!). This leaves her drained and exhausted.

Mutagenic drift from base Kryptonian template over time has also granted her abilities the Supers don't usually possess: an empathetic sense and short-range telekinesis (as opposed to tactile telekinesis lmao).

Why is Sun on Earth?

Well, the colony world wasn't very far from Krypton. In the wake of the planet's destruction, dozens of star systems were inundated with dangerous radiation and hurtling asteroids the size of small planets. Her colony world was torn to pieces by debris. The small population attempted to escape before the shockwave hit them, but very few ships survived.

Sun's ship, Sha'l La-Ark (affectionately, the Ark), was a bio-mechanical prototype with a rudimentary but growing intelligence, created in the hopes of delivering aid to the ailing from distant stars. Sun's ship put her in stasis and cared for her as it sought out the largest collection of surviving Kryptonian technology in hopes of finding others. When it touched down, the Ark downloaded information from the internet and fed it to Sun's subconscious, updating her on the world they'd found.

There was a bit of a touch-and-go period where supers on Earth noticed the intrusion and went to see what was up. The Ark acted to protect Sun while she was still in stasis and long story short, they almost destroyed it before Sun was finally able to leave her pod and beg for mercy.

Nowadays, Sun acts as the family physician for all manner of superheroes and extraterrestrial types on Earth. She works in biochemical research as Dr. Sun Solaire. She will sometimes help relief efforts as Solarflare, a very minor hero.

She does NOT fight unless she absolutely HAS TO in order to protect herself. This is pacifism, but also pragmatism. She knows she's not Superman-level, and the people who would come after a Kryptonian like Kal-El would decimate her. No, thank you.
