After looking at the other character collection threads and realizing I have just over 3.5 log in screens worth of characters I decided to post my collection here.
If anyone would be kind enough to point me to a thread on how to take GOOD QUALITY screen captures I will add images in future posts.
SCREEN 1
PSI-BLADE
Concept: A mystic warrior of the Shadow Realm.
Powers: Ego Blades and Telekinesis.
Note: Originally named Dark Knight but lost interest in Knightly Costume and renamed/re-imaged. I am happy to say I reached level 40 without one Batman type costume.
SHE-GROND
Concept: Army's attempt to fight Grond with Grond.
Powers: Might / Growth
Note: My goal is to Maximize Growth without losing effectiveness of build. I have 2 Retcons available in case I find a new build that can help me Maximize growth in combat.
TALOS DRAGON
Concept: A young mage that accidentally became host to an ancient dragon spirit.
Powers: Heavy Weapon / Fire
Note: Sebastian Masters was the prizes student of the Master, a sorcerer who trains mystic defenders. Upon the completion of his studies Sebastian was allowed to have one artifact from the master's vault to aid him in his duties. Sebastian took the "Dragon Slayer", a magical weapon of immense power that was mislabeled.
A better name for the sword would be "Dragon's Lair" because it housed the soul of an ancient Dragon. When Sebastian touched it, the dragon tried to possess his mind and recreate its body with Sebastian's. Thankfully Sebastian's training protected his psyche and stopped the possession, but at a cost. Sebastian was no-more. Now there is Talos Dragon.
CHANCE MORGAN
Concept: 3 Eras or law keepers that have died in the line of duty.
Powers: Munitions
Note: Made an early 1800's lawman, A Cowboy and a contemporary cop costume all sharing one build.

Powers: Infernal Beastial
Note: The Wallace family moved to Vibora Bay when Mister Wallace got a job promotion and relocated. It was here that Randi Wallace started becoming a professional victim. She has been attacked and bitten by the Dogz and New Shadows. You would have thought that with a life like that Randi would have been a Vibora Bay statistic. Well she is. She is the .001 Percent that have survived an encounter with both factions and survived if a little changed.
BATTLE C.A.T.
Concept: Cat themed Power Armor
Powers: Force / Might
Note: I liked the name and the C.A.T. stands for Cyber Augmented Tactical Battle Armor but Battle CAT sounded better the CAT Battle.
DYNAMO

MISTER MAGNUM
Concept: A Gramaton Cleric ala Equilibrium
Powers: Dual Pistols
Note: Joshua Banks has had friends and family killed by punks with guns. He himself almost died at the wrong end of a gun. Instead of developing a fear or hatred of guns he became obsessive.
"Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly." ~DuPont from Equilibrium~
KNIGHT OF THE SHADOW COURT
Concept: A redesign of my Dark Knight Character (Renamed Psi-Blade)
Powers: Heavy Weapon / Darkness
Note: A more Weapon and less mystical Knight than Dark Knight was.

GOLDBUGG
Concept: Particle damaging Power Armor
Powers: PA
Note: The accident that gave MIDAS his powers was not a random accident. It was planned by Doctor Sigmund Dimwhittey. His research showed that being bathed the energy used to transmute lead into gold will gave that person power over matter.
Sigmund set up a lab adjacent to, and focusing the energy from the experiment, toward himself. Too bad the setup protected him and directed the energy at the other scientists and staff in Lab performing the experiment
Those that were exposed to the energy and survived where changed in one way or another. Sigmund was protected and cheated out of his power. For a while he donned a suit of power armor and with an army of robots he hunted the transformed and tried to transfer their powers to himself.
After about a year of fighting MIDAS, the most powerful of the transformed and other heroes of the city to a standstill he found that he did not need mystically augmented powers. His science and power armor was power.

WHEW?? Need to get a few toons to level 40 for more character slots.
Mindy had a happy childhood. She was the only child of two very loving parents. They spoiled their little princess but not to the point that she took it for granted. They supported her and helped her through her many phases. She went to beauty salons with mommy during her princess phase. Visiting the local fire house during her firefighter phase, and after school performance group during her actress phase. All in all, life was normal.
Mindy was a very happy girl until the year right before she entered Junior High. Once she hit puberty her body went through the normal growing up changes with a small addition. Abnormal bone growths appeared from her shoulders. At first they were just small bumps that itched. Then they began swelling and became painful. When the tips broke through the skin, and continued to grow, they were uncomfortable, but Mindy was able to cope with that. Mindy was able to hide it for a few weeks under baggy and lose shirts, but the cat was out of the bag when her mom walked into her room when she had her blouse off. Her parents were concerned about the growths and took her to a doctor for an exam. The tests revealed that the growths were the forming stages of wings! Her parents were upset, but took the news in stride. Others did not so understand though.
When the growths could no longer be hidden by her loose fitting clothing, Mindy learned who her real friends were. She became the target of endless jokes, teasing and even bullies. The faculty and school officials were not very supportive of Mindy. A few even quietly encouraged the hostility toward her. Between the trouble in school and the building uproar in the community from other children's parents it was suggested that perhaps Mindy should be home schooled. Others went so far as to suggest that perhaps Mindy and her parents might fare better elsewhere. Mindy was despondent and her parents were at their wit's end, even though they continued to stand by their daughter.
Knowing Mindy needed someone to relate to, in coping with the changes she was going through, her parents managed to contact the winged hero, Redhawk. A well-respected hero from a neighboring city, they hoped he would be able to mentor their daughter through this difficult period. They knew Mindy had posters of him in her room and had even developed a bit of a crush on the winged hero. Redhawk listened gravely to the Corman's request. He hadn't had anyone to turn to when he developed his wings, other than his mother and father. Only their love and morality kept him from turning to evil, but it was not an easy path. He was persecuted as a monster or servant of Satan until he was able to prove himself to the public. Being hunted and abused had almost turned him to evil and he did not wish to see this young girl turn down that dark path. To the relief of Mindy's parents, he agreed to mentor her and insure her continued education.
The Corman's moved to the new city so Mindy could begin her training with Redhawk. She moved into the heroes? base and started right in. Not only did she have standard education classes, but also got to meet with other heroes and those they dealt with. Being treated well helped to boost her fragile self-esteem. By the time her wings grew fully, she was not so self-conscious about them. In fact, they were magnificent. Wide expanses of pearl-white feathers that she learned to fly with and care for. Also during her training sessions with Redhawk, and the 'play sessions' with the other heroes, it was also discovered that Mindy had light and photonic energy manipulating powers. Once this was discovered, she was trained in their use and control. By the time Mindy finished her high school equivalency (a year early), she had developed into a happy and healthy young woman and novice hero. She took on the heroic name, Dove, and became Redhawk's sidekick.
Being the sidekick of such a high-profile hero as Redhawk insured a lot of attention from the press. But her outgoing personality and gleaming wings soon made her a media darling. Things continued in this way until Redhawk and Dove clashed with the villain, Shade. A Darkforce-based villain, Shade had fought several times with Redhawk and the other members of the city's premier hero team. Each defeat left the villain more and more determined to destroy Redhawk and the others. His latest bid for revenge took place about 6 months after Dove had officially become Redhawk's sidekick. During the battle, Shade used his shadow gate powers to surprise and defeats nearly all of the heroes. He saved Redhawk for last, having a special form of revenge in mind for him; a one-way ticket to the terrible Shadow realm that Shade tapped into for his powers. Even fully aware of what was going on; Redhawk was still surprised by Shade's assault. But as the maniacal villain raised his arm, Dove flashed down from the sky and interposed herself between them! The ebony beam struck her full and, with a fading scream, disappeared! Enraged by the apparent death of Dove, Redhawk brutally pummeled Shade, until the unfortunate villain was nearly dead. Despondent at the loss of his sidekick, Redhawk retired in grief. The other heroes of the city and many normal personages attended a massive ceremony and vigil for the young girl who had so selflessly served them.
Meanwhile, instead of being dead, Mindy was falling through darkness. Darkness so absolute, even her light powers couldn't penetrate it. She tried to catch the air with her wings, but there was nothing for her to get a purchase on. When the darkness finally parted enough for her to see, she was only a few feet above the ground! With no time to react, Mindy hit with bruising force, feeling a shooting pain through her right wing as a bone snapped.
When she regained her senses, she sat up and looked around. She seemed to be in some sort of woods, but the trees were all wrong. At least, she THOUGHT they were wrong. The darkness made it hard to make things out. Only a dim light seemed to filter through the leaves, barely illuminating anything. She slowly climbed to her feet, wincing at the sharp pain in her wing. Looking up through a gap in the trees, she saw the sun, but it was... BLOCKED! All that was visible was the corona around a black disc. The rest of the sky was full of stars and about half a dozen moons in various phases.
A man, or at least a humanoid, came weaving through the trees, riding something that looked like a black unicorn with red glowing eyes and flames flashing from its hooves. The rider himself was a tall, willowy fellow with lantern-like eyes that dominated his narrow face. He was dressed in dark clothing and carried a sword at his hip. Along with the creature were several forbidding figures that looked like emaciated hounds, with glowing eyes and corpse light glowing in their mouths. The rider sat and looked at Mindy talking in some language that she had never heard before. The shadow hounds circled her restlessly, growling and barking in an eerie tone. Mindy stood frozen where she was. With her wing broken, she knew there was no way she could escape. As she was wondering what she could do, two more riders drew up and seemed to argue with the first rider. After a few moments, they spread out around her and threw a net over her! Once she was entangled in the net, they pulled her off her feet and dragged her behind them as they rode, laughing at her cries of pain and fear.
After what seemed a long time, the riders came to a halt and Mindy was able to see a forbidding-looking castle on a hill. The riders cheered, and then continued their ride. Eventually, Mindy was dragged into a great hall, dimly lit with blobs of foxfire on the walls. Sitting on a massive throne, carved from stone, was an even larger creature. This one was massively muscled, with heavy goat legs from the waist down. His visage was one of malevolence and cruelty, enhanced by the twisted horns sprouting from his temples and the fiery red of his glowing eyes. He spoke in a language similar to what the others had spoken, but his voice was deeper and seemed to echo hollowly. Mindy's captors abased themselves on the floor and spoke to this imposing figure. He locked his blazing stare on her and spoke in a harsh tone. From beside his throne sprang a gangly figure, about half the size of the others who had captured her. He sidled up to where she lay, tangled in the net and began prodding her through the openings. Mindy bit her lip throughout this indignity, unwilling to appear weak, but when the creature thrust a hand through and pulled out a handful of feathers from her damaged wing; she could not suppress a cry of pain. With an evil tittering, the creature scampered back to its master and placed the clump of blood-flecked feathers in his hand.
Mindy decided enough was enough. She summoned what energy she could, mean to use her light powers to sever the ropes and escape. To her surprise, nothing happened! Her powers were being blocked! Real panic set in and she tried calling out to the creature sitting on the throne. He may or may not have understood her, but he recognized the tone of her voice. He rumbled to the small creature, while sniffing the clump of feathers in his hand. The small creature turned to Mindy and giggled in its piping voice. The small creature babbled excitedly to the ones who had captured Mindy. They rose as one, took hold of the ropes holding the net and dragged her upstairs, with the small creature dancing around her with unmistakable glee.
She was taken to a suite of rooms high in the castle. There, she was untangled from the net, stripped and dragged protesting through a bedroom and into an inner room that looked like a torturer's delight. In a darkened corner, an emaciated-looking creature was chained to a staple set in the floor. One of the hunters yanked the poor creature out by the chain and unlocked the collar. Mindy put up a fierce struggle, but the collar was finally locked around her neck and she was left chained in the corner.
Mindy spent an unknown length of time chained to the wall. The small, gangly creature took great delight in tormenting her in every way imaginable and even a few she had never imagined in her wildest nightmares. He seemed to take particular pleasure in making her cry. Time, Hope, and even her own identity lost meaning. All she knew was pain at the hands of her small tormentor, and even this seemed to become meaningless over time. Once even the most painful torments failed to elicit a response from her, the small creature sulked for days. Mindy was ignored, like a doll that had lost its appeal to a child. Then one "day" the small creature came back, leading the chain's former tenant on a leash.
He, (at least Mindy THOUGHT it was a he), held up a crystal for the child to see. Then he walked over to the only window in the room and held it up to catch the faint glow of the sun's corona. As the dark sun shone into the cell and struck the crystal, a black ray emanated from it. The emaciated thing twisted the crystal until the beam struck Mindy, bathing her and its light. The light was so painful she cried out almost immediately, bringing a look of pure joy to the gangly creature's face. By the time the sun no longer shone through the window, Mindy's body ached in every fiber. She caught a glance of herself in a mirror and saw her platinum blonde hair was streaked with black! Not only that, but some of the feathers on her wings were black also! This was repeated over and over again, every day until the ray no longer caused her any pain. By that time, her hair and feathers had both turned completely black. Since Mindy had become inured to the pain again, the gangly creature lost all interest in her. Servants were summoned and Mindy's collar was unlocked and she was once again dragged away.
She was taken to an arena tossed into a sandy pit. Inside were 4 creatures that immediately pounced on her! She was pummeled badly for the first few minutes, but then muscle memory and her training with Redhawk took over. She fought like a wild animal and killed all four opponents. Denied their amusement, the creatures introduced more and more creatures into the ring! Still, Mindy managed to disable, or kill every creature they put in the arena.
She was put in the arena often, against opponents who were bigger and sometimes more powerful than she. Still, she continued to win, and win decisively. Then, during one fight, she saw a glittering nimbus of energy! A dim memory tugged at her, causing her to leap into the gaping void! Once through the other side of the nimbus she found herself in a world of bright sun and blue skies. A group of colorfully dressed people that looked a lot more like her than the creatures of the shadow realm were fighting some black clad person who seemed to be controlling the nimbus. Mindy's sudden appearance surprised everybody, including the black-clad man. Before the man could react, Mindy picked him up bodily and threw him through his own nimbus! The nimbus closed with a snap of energy and the battle was over, just like that! Then Mindy did the only thing she could do; she collapsed to the ground in a dead faint. She was home.
This macro will bind the PrintScreen key and take/save screenshots with the following results: increase the resolution, take UI-less screenshots in jpg format, and then decrease the resolution.
Feel free to change the key and file format to whatever is to your liking.
Also, learn to use the demorecord function, so you can better angles on your characters. The in-game UI takes pretty rubbish angles. With demorecord you can get shots like this:

Note: The accident that gave MIDAS his powers was not a random accident. It was planned by Doctor Sigmund Dimwhittey. His research showed that being bathed the energy used to transmute lead into gold will gave that person power over matter.
Sigmund set up a lab adjacent to, and focusing the energy from the experiment, toward himself. Too bad the setup protected him and directed the energy at the other scientists and staff in Lab performing the experiment
Those that were exposed to the energy and survived where changed in one way or another. Sigmund was protected and cheated out of his power. For a while he donned a suit of power armor and with an army of robots he hunted the transformed and tried to transfer their powers to himself.
After about a year of fighting MIDAS, the most powerful of the transformed and other heroes of the city to a standstill he found that he did not need mystically augmented powers. His science and power armor was power.
Over the next year and a half, Sigmund refined and redesigned his armor. Making sure nobody knew of him or his previous villainy, Sigmund entered the Hero world as Goldbugg (The game did not allow me to use GOLDBUG)
STARS AND STRIPES

FOREVER KNIGHT
Concept: Undying/unyielding warrior

Note: I remember an old show called Forever Knight and though of creating a Knight that kept on fighting.
ENDGAME
Concept: Taskmaster / Deadpool homage.
Powers: Munitions / Dual Pistol / munitions
Note: Trying not to recreate Viper-Sniper
STARGAZER
Concept: "COSMIC" hero
Powers: Infernal and Darkness
Notes: With Auras I was able to make a Cosmos costume. Come on. Who didn?t make/want one when you saw Sparkle Skin on Black colored tights.
BOX
Concept: Kid with a Power Belt
Powers: PFF / Might
Notes: With all my character not one is using PFF. So I thought of a character that finds a Belt that creates a Personal Force Field around him and that gives him Super Protection and Super Strength.
WHEW?? Need to get a few toons to level 40 for more character slots.
Mindy had a happy childhood. She was the only child of two very loving parents. They spoiled their little princess but not to the point that she took it for granted. They supported her and helped her through her many phases. She went to beauty salons with mommy during her princess phase. Visiting the local fire house during her firefighter phase, and after school performance group during her actress phase. All in all, life was normal.
Mindy was a very happy girl until the year right before she entered Junior High. Once she hit puberty her body went through the normal growing up changes with a small addition. Abnormal bone growths appeared from her shoulders. At first they were just small bumps that itched. Then they began swelling and became painful. When the tips broke through the skin, and continued to grow, they were uncomfortable, but Mindy was able to cope with that. Mindy was able to hide it for a few weeks under baggy and lose shirts, but the cat was out of the bag when her mom walked into her room when she had her blouse off. Her parents were concerned about the growths and took her to a doctor for an exam. The tests revealed that the growths were the forming stages of wings! Her parents were upset, but took the news in stride. Others did not so understand though.
When the growths could no longer be hidden by her loose fitting clothing, Mindy learned who her real friends were. She became the target of endless jokes, teasing and even bullies. The faculty and school officials were not very supportive of Mindy. A few even quietly encouraged the hostility toward her. Between the trouble in school and the building uproar in the community from other children's parents it was suggested that perhaps Mindy should be home schooled. Others went so far as to suggest that perhaps Mindy and her parents might fare better elsewhere. Mindy was despondent and her parents were at their wit's end, even though they continued to stand by their daughter.
Knowing Mindy needed someone to relate to, in coping with the changes she was going through, her parents managed to contact the winged hero, Redhawk. A well-respected hero from a neighboring city, they hoped he would be able to mentor their daughter through this difficult period. They knew Mindy had posters of him in her room and had even developed a bit of a crush on the winged hero. Redhawk listened gravely to the Corman's request. He hadn't had anyone to turn to when he developed his wings, other than his mother and father. Only their love and morality kept him from turning to evil, but it was not an easy path. He was persecuted as a monster or servant of Satan until he was able to prove himself to the public. Being hunted and abused had almost turned him to evil and he did not wish to see this young girl turn down that dark path. To the relief of Mindy's parents, he agreed to mentor her and insure her continued education.
The Corman's moved to the new city so Mindy could begin her training with Redhawk. She moved into the heroes? base and started right in. Not only did she have standard education classes, but also got to meet with other heroes and those they dealt with. Being treated well helped to boost her fragile self-esteem. By the time her wings grew fully, she was not so self-conscious about them. In fact, they were magnificent. Wide expanses of pearl-white feathers that she learned to fly with and care for. Also during her training sessions with Redhawk, and the 'play sessions' with the other heroes, it was also discovered that Mindy had light and photonic energy manipulating powers. Once this was discovered, she was trained in their use and control. By the time Mindy finished her high school equivalency (a year early), she had developed into a happy and healthy young woman and novice hero. She took on the heroic name, Dove, and became Redhawk's sidekick.
Being the sidekick of such a high-profile hero as Redhawk insured a lot of attention from the press. But her outgoing personality and gleaming wings soon made her a media darling. Things continued in this way until Redhawk and Dove clashed with the villain, Shade. A Darkforce-based villain, Shade had fought several times with Redhawk and the other members of the city's premier hero team. Each defeat left the villain more and more determined to destroy Redhawk and the others. His latest bid for revenge took place about 6 months after Dove had officially become Redhawk's sidekick. During the battle, Shade used his shadow gate powers to surprise and defeats nearly all of the heroes. He saved Redhawk for last, having a special form of revenge in mind for him; a one-way ticket to the terrible Shadow realm that Shade tapped into for his powers. Even fully aware of what was going on; Redhawk was still surprised by Shade's assault. But as the maniacal villain raised his arm, Dove flashed down from the sky and interposed herself between them! The ebony beam struck her full and, with a fading scream, disappeared! Enraged by the apparent death of Dove, Redhawk brutally pummeled Shade, until the unfortunate villain was nearly dead. Despondent at the loss of his sidekick, Redhawk retired in grief. The other heroes of the city and many normal personages attended a massive ceremony and vigil for the young girl who had so selflessly served them.

RAVEN
Meanwhile, instead of being dead, Mindy was falling through darkness. Darkness so absolute, even her light powers couldn't penetrate it. She tried to catch the air with her wings, but there was nothing for her to get a purchase on. When the darkness finally parted enough for her to see, she was only a few feet above the ground! With no time to react, Mindy hit with bruising force, feeling a shooting pain through her right wing as a bone snapped.
When she regained her senses, she sat up and looked around. She seemed to be in some sort of woods, but the trees were all wrong. At least, she THOUGHT they were wrong. The darkness made it hard to make things out. Only a dim light seemed to filter through the leaves, barely illuminating anything. She slowly climbed to her feet, wincing at the sharp pain in her wing. Looking up through a gap in the trees, she saw the sun, but it was... BLOCKED! All that was visible was the corona around a black disc. The rest of the sky was full of stars and about half a dozen moons in various phases.
A man, or at least a humanoid, came weaving through the trees, riding something that looked like a black unicorn with red glowing eyes and flames flashing from its hooves. The rider himself was a tall, willowy fellow with lantern-like eyes that dominated his narrow face. He was dressed in dark clothing and carried a sword at his hip. Along with the creature were several forbidding figures that looked like emaciated hounds, with glowing eyes and corpse light glowing in their mouths. The rider sat and looked at Mindy talking in some language that she had never heard before. The shadow hounds circled her restlessly, growling and barking in an eerie tone. Mindy stood frozen where she was. With her wing broken, she knew there was no way she could escape. As she was wondering what she could do, two more riders drew up and seemed to argue with the first rider. After a few moments, they spread out around her and threw a net over her! Once she was entangled in the net, they pulled her off her feet and dragged her behind them as they rode, laughing at her cries of pain and fear.
After what seemed a long time, the riders came to a halt and Mindy was able to see a forbidding-looking castle on a hill. The riders cheered, and then continued their ride. Eventually, Mindy was dragged into a great hall, dimly lit with blobs of foxfire on the walls. Sitting on a massive throne, carved from stone, was an even larger creature. This one was massively muscled, with heavy goat legs from the waist down. His visage was one of malevolence and cruelty, enhanced by the twisted horns sprouting from his temples and the fiery red of his glowing eyes. He spoke in a language similar to what the others had spoken, but his voice was deeper and seemed to echo hollowly. Mindy's captors abased themselves on the floor and spoke to this imposing figure. He locked his blazing stare on her and spoke in a harsh tone. From beside his throne sprang a gangly figure, about half the size of the others who had captured her. He sidled up to where she lay, tangled in the net and began prodding her through the openings. Mindy bit her lip throughout this indignity, unwilling to appear weak, but when the creature thrust a hand through and pulled out a handful of feathers from her damaged wing; she could not suppress a cry of pain. With an evil tittering, the creature scampered back to its master and placed the clump of blood-flecked feathers in his hand.
Mindy decided enough was enough. She summoned what energy she could, mean to use her light powers to sever the ropes and escape. To her surprise, nothing happened! Her powers were being blocked! Real panic set in and she tried calling out to the creature sitting on the throne. He may or may not have understood her, but he recognized the tone of her voice. He rumbled to the small creature, while sniffing the clump of feathers in his hand. The small creature turned to Mindy and giggled in its piping voice. The small creature babbled excitedly to the ones who had captured Mindy. They rose as one, took hold of the ropes holding the net and dragged her upstairs, with the small creature dancing around her with unmistakable glee.
She was taken to a suite of rooms high in the castle. There, she was untangled from the net, stripped and dragged protesting through a bedroom and into an inner room that looked like a torturer's delight. In a darkened corner, an emaciated-looking creature was chained to a staple set in the floor. One of the hunters yanked the poor creature out by the chain and unlocked the collar. Mindy put up a fierce struggle, but the collar was finally locked around her neck and she was left chained in the corner.
Mindy spent an unknown length of time chained to the wall. The small, gangly creature took great delight in tormenting her in every way imaginable and even a few she had never imagined in her wildest nightmares. He seemed to take particular pleasure in making her cry. Time, Hope, and even her own identity lost meaning. All she knew was pain at the hands of her small tormentor, and even this seemed to become meaningless over time. Once even the most painful torments failed to elicit a response from her, the small creature sulked for days. Mindy was ignored, like a doll that had lost its appeal to a child. Then one "day" the small creature came back, leading the chain's former tenant on a leash.
He, (at least Mindy THOUGHT it was a he), held up a crystal for the child to see. Then he walked over to the only window in the room and held it up to catch the faint glow of the sun's corona. As the dark sun shone into the cell and struck the crystal, a black ray emanated from it. The emaciated thing twisted the crystal until the beam struck Mindy, bathing her and its light. The light was so painful she cried out almost immediately, bringing a look of pure joy to the gangly creature's face. By the time the sun no longer shone through the window, Mindy's body ached in every fiber. She caught a glance of herself in a mirror and saw her platinum blonde hair was streaked with black! Not only that, but some of the feathers on her wings were black also! This was repeated over and over again, every day until the ray no longer caused her any pain. By that time, her hair and feathers had both turned completely black. Since Mindy had become inured to the pain again, the gangly creature lost all interest in her. Servants were summoned and Mindy's collar was unlocked and she was once again dragged away.
She was taken to an arena tossed into a sandy pit. Inside were 4 creatures that immediately pounced on her! She was pummeled badly for the first few minutes, but then muscle memory and her training with Redhawk took over. She fought like a wild animal and killed all four opponents. Denied their amusement, the creatures introduced more and more creatures into the ring! Still, Mindy managed to disable, or kill every creature they put in the arena.
She was put in the arena often, against opponents who were bigger and sometimes more powerful than she. Still, she continued to win, and win decisively. Then, during one fight, she saw a glittering nimbus of energy! A dim memory tugged at her, causing her to leap into the gaping void! Once through the other side of the nimbus she found herself in a world of bright sun and blue skies. A group of colorfully dressed people that looked a lot more like her than the creatures of the shadow realm were fighting some black clad person who seemed to be controlling the nimbus. Mindy's sudden appearance surprised everybody, including the black-clad man. Before the man could react, Mindy picked him up bodily and threw him through his own nimbus! The nimbus closed with a snap of energy and the battle was over, just like that! Then Mindy did the only thing she could do; she collapsed to the ground in a dead faint. She was home.
