| Personality: Cold Crash is all about freedom and fun. She says and does what she wants, sometimes to the point of being childish. Shrugging off conventional social stigma and fashion, she forms her own philosophies and fashion sense, both often being wild and/or silly. Crash has many
piercings, nose ring, naval rings, many eyebrow rings and ear rings. She loves to party and hang out with her friends, listening to loud music. Crash has little respect for authority figures. |
| Motivation: To have fun and to stop those that would ruin such fun, typically super villains, aliens, and other menaces. |
| Why That Name?: Katie earned the nickname “Crash” originally from her many, many accidents on motorcycles, skateboards,
rollerblades, cars, buses, ect. She once rammed an alien monster with a land rover and drove the flaming wreck with monster off of a 5th floor parking lot. She turned herself and the car into a giant ice boulder, squashing the monster under steal, ice, and snow in the parking lot below. Her friends comforting her sick in bed with hypothermia afterwards joked the scene looked like demolition derby banana split. There, she earned the name Cold Crash for both her antics and how her wild struggle left in her in bed sick for a week. |
History: Katie Perth grew in a poor home where she was more or less ignored by her uncle who raised her. She went to school getting mediocre grades, being more interested in having fun. One day when she was 10, there was a drive by shooting in her. It was on a store she was passing by. Bullets flew all about her from a few guys hanging out the window firing automatics, and Katie was knocked to the ground. She felt stinging all over and slowly sat up to see all the people lying dead around her, blood and broken glass everywhere. Shakily she got to her feet in a daze to see the car continuing it’s lazy stroll as it’s passengers still fired at people nearby. Ice cold gripped her heart and she threw her hands out and cried out, “STOP IT!” Ice shot forth and covered the car and all it’s passengers into a giant block of ice.
Police sirens sounded as they rounded on the scene, but Katie was already walking home in a confused at what happened. She barely noticed the flattened bullets slowly tumbling out of the various holes in her jacket and clothes. It wasn’t until later that night in bed did she realize she was radically different than normal people, like some of the people she had seen on TV. It was exciting! She couldn’t wait until she could explore her powers further.
During the following years, Katie, or C.C. as she had become known to most of her few friends, had learned quite a bit her powers over cold and could even fly. But she preferred to take joy rides and drive recklessly fast for fun on anything she could get her hands on, from skateboards to cars. Katie found that even if she got in a bad accident, she could always walk away without a too serious injury, at least not yet. Of course she could never afford any of the cars or motorcycles, so she always stole them as needed or on whim. She kept her conscious happy with the fact that she always stole them from crooks.
When she was 15, C.C. had come home to find that her uncle had left. No note, no money, he just up and left. Seeing great opportunity, C.C. decided to look after herself, she just had to keep it a secret. She conned her neighbor into pretending to be her uncle on a few occasions that called for it. She paid for rent and everything else by stealing from crooks that had been stealing from people in the area. It didn’t take much considering the whole in the wall place she lived in. C.C. Just had to make sure that no one caught on.
Being 17 now, she had been living on her own for almost 2 years now. Being a junior at
PCHS, C.C. was having the time of her life. She lived by her own rules and burn the rest. But with rising troubles around where she lived and all around the rest of Paragon city, it was clear she might have to use her powers more aggressively against the rising evil. Because evil could be so much not fun.
During a battle with some strange alien creatures bent on havoc, C.C. got chewed out by some do-gooder and his team of lackeys, saying that she was just a kid and to go home where it was safe. Needless to say, C.C. didn’t listen and continued to fight. After the battle, she almost came to blows with the leader, but she knew she wouldn’t get much accomplished with all his yes-men standing about. But what she also realized she needed to find some of her own somewhat like-minded peers. Not long after she applied for membership with the Assembly. |
