Biography

Full Name: Alison "Ali" Blaire
Age: 25
Codename: Dazzler
Family: Wow, that's a loaded question. See below.

Alison is the only daughter of 80s rock legend Katherine Blaire. The lead singer of the hair band, Knob, Katherine was alternatingly a media darling and scapegoat in her heyday of the mid-to-late 80s, frequently making headlines for her reckless behaviour. The band managed to stay in the Billboard Top 100 for about seven years before falling apart in 1994 when their bassist ODed and died.

Alison's parents divorced two years later when she was 10, her mother moving to England and her father taking Ali to Arizona where he remarried a rather shrewish woman and lived an unremarkable life. After her step-mother discovered Ali's powers, the teen was shipped off to England to live with her mother. Her mother now has a solo career that is moderately successful in Europe and Japan, though she can't break into the US market. Alison has been in an out of the tabloids herself for her own reckless behaviour, most recently for a stint in rehab during the summer break of her 2nd year at Kings College London.

Ali has calmed down a bit since then and has started performing small venues as a singer and performer in her own right, under the masked pseudonym Dazzler. She's just moved back to New York to try and make a name for herself without riding her mother's coattails (and perhaps avoiding some of the bad press).

Regarding the above information: I grant permission for characters to know anything that would have appeared in the mainstream and entertainment media. The only thing of the above information your character would absolutely NOT know is that Alison and Dazzler are the same person.

Powers

Alison can turn sound waves into light and perform various tricks with this. Currently, she is able to perform the following feats:

Light show (creating spots of various shapes, size and colour and making them dance around)
Blinding strobe (can release a burst of light bright enough to temporarily blind most people)
Equilibrium upset (can cause a dizzying display of lights that cause people to become disoriented and lose their balance)
Entrancing (can put more susceptible people into a trance-like state)

Event Involvement

Storyline

Since arriving back in America, Ali hasn't really done a whole lot other than drink and get to know a few people. But networking is an important part of a career in the arts!

One night after stumbling out of a sleazy bar in Chinatown, she ran into a mugging in progress, and in her intoxicated state, didn't fully think it through before trying to play hero. She wound up with a superficial wound to the stomach for her troubles, but hey, they totally gave worse than they got. And to Alison's surprise, the woman she'd rescued turned out to be Ash, whom she knew from Club Diablo a few nights before. There was also a blue dude there, but she's not entirely certain he wasn't a hallucination.

Friends and Enemies

Wanted

Right now I'd just love some RP and IC friends, enemies, fans, hecklers, lovers, haters, hangers on, passers by, and all creatures great and small.
