Name: Elaine 'Riptide' Mercedes

Gender: Female

Category: Good Killer

Species: Human

Age: 26

Background: Not much of Elaine's past is known - all that is known is that she was born and raised in Eastern Europe during the Kosovo-Serbia conflict and was left an orphan of the war at 15, in which she stowed away on a boat heading for NYC. Her situation from arrival to now went like this: a NYPD cop finds her, he and his wife adopt her as a daughter, she sees more violence and bloodshed and corruption and soon becomes desensitized to it, has a boyfriend at her local high school, he gets brutally murdered by gang members, the NYPD officer's wife soon gets gunned down in a brutal feud and the two take it upon themselves to get revenge, having snapped under social, psychological and emotional stress and trauma. Her NYPD father began hunting down those responsible for his wife's death and managed to succeed for most of it until he himself was killed by his corrupted associates at NYPD. Elaine then took it upon herself to complete the job, which she did but a cost to her social life. Now isolated and fuelled by a rage for justice to be served, Elaine took it upon herself to rid NYC of crime-causing scumbags making living in the city hell for people to work with. After 5 more years (until now when she is 26), she stuck firm to her principles and has been viciously hunting down every criminal she could lay her hands on - sending ripples of shock and awe into the criminal underworld. The NYPD are trying to hunt her down for this, but so far have turned up empty on all their leads. And now the public are hailing this 'Riptide' person as a saviour...
