Black Canary

Name: Danielle Falcon

Aliases: Danny, Black Canary

Age: 26

Physical Description: Leather, fishnets, bleach blond hair, hardcore. Got your attention yet? Danny wears a body suit made of black padded leather for protection, with her legs bare except for her fishnet stockings to improve her mobility. She wears knee high black leather buckle boots, and has straps of knives around her right thigh. Her 'mask' is a smear of black paint across her eyes. Her hair is naturally brown, but she bleaches it blond every chance she gets, and keeps it cut very short to make it easy to handle during her treks into the Wastelands.

Biography: Danny's technically a mercenary, but works pretty much exclusively for the People's Militia, and is also a member of the Guardians of Gotham. She serves as a protector for the caravan lines and a liaison between the mutants in the Wastes who can't survive in the Slums and the Militia. She scouts several gangs movements for the Militia. She is well practiced in parkor, allowing her to maneuver the Wastes with ease, and is an exceptional knife fighter. Her main weapon, however, is her cybernetic augmented vocal cords, which can produce a scream of 250 decibels, more than enough to burst someones eardrums and stun them or even kill, and can reach up to 300 decibels with extreme effort.

History: Danny wasn't always such a delinquent. As a matter of fact, she was born in Gotham suburbia to a properly middle class family who's parents both had good jobs and worked very hard to give their daughter the best of everything they could. They dreamed of Danielle becoming a doctor or an engineer, or maybe even a lawyer. They made the same mistake as many parents did, thrusting their life desires upon their child and putting immense pressure on her to excel in school. She did well enough, but she had never been especially bright in the areas of hire learning. Much to their dismay, the one and only subject she ever excelled at was music, and the kind of music she liked to listen to was not exactly classical. Even at a young age, she went through phases of enjoying rock and metal legend bands like the Beatles, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden, and eventually individual careers like Jon Bon Jovi, Kurt Cobain, and Ritchie Blackmore. She started wearing black clothes, stealing, drinking, and otherwise rebelling against her parents as young as thirteen. No matter how hard her parents tried to rein her in, she always pulled back.

Until the accident...

A terrible car crash when Danny was fifteen changed her life forever. It left her mother dead, killed instantly on impact. It also left her with minor brain damage which left her totally deaf.

To a kid who's whole life was music, being unable to hear it or anything out was a truly traumatic experience. She was given cybernetic implants for her ears, allowing her to hear again, but it did little to comfort her, saying that the cybernetically enhanced hearing allowed her to hear words and sounds, but that music was totally, totally wrong. The loss of her mother and her music drove her into a deep, dark depression that she still struggles with to this day.

Eventually, she learned how to use her new way of hearing to become a better judge of music quality and performance, which in turn allowed her to soar through university on a musical theory degree. About halfway through her second year, she along with four other classmates started a band following the anti-government music movement. She became the lead vocalist of a popular the female punk band called Black Sirens. In order to accomplish this, she paid to have her vocal cords augmented with an illegal cybernetic implant so she could sing the screaming lyrics without need of a microphone to improve her performance and her popularity in the movement. The loud sound of her screams only doesn't hurt her because of her own cybernetic aural implants, making her perfect for lead vocals.

When the world ended, she traveled for a long time with her bandmates across the east coast, but she eventually parted ways with them to go back to. Danny had always been secretive about her past. Even her girlfriend, lead guitarist Melody Thompson, didn't know about past before she entered the punk scene. After finding her home and her father's body, she made a decision. She would do, at last, what her mother and father had always wanted her to do; the right thing. She had been running from authority all her life. Now, there was no authority. Only innocents. Innocents she was strong enough to help.

Other: Danny is pan-sexual and extremely open about it. She isn't afraid to trade sex for what she needs. Unfortunately, something that she needs very dearly is a drug called Bliss, a powerful synthetic narcotic. She actively and vehemently denies her addiction.
