Beginning
In every new story, there is backstory...
Here is the simplified version:
Crushing Death of Amanda Vertra
In the new beginning, there was a large, scaled hand around the throat...
She had come to the home of her once would-be-lover, Rezz. She was drunk. She was angry. She stormed into his home with a goal.
Stalking from room to room, shouting insults and tearing the place apart, she searched for her cousin. Kimber McBride was back in town and she was bound to be here. But there was no sign of her. She'd abandoned Rezz. Not a word left for him of her return.
More insults. A physical attack. She was smaller than him, by so much height and mass, but with liquor- and jealousy-fueled anger, the blast of electricity rivaled that she'd summoned just the day prior on Unit v4.0 in her murder attempt.
The game was over, so-to-speak.
Pressure. A crushed windpipe. Blood building up and having no place to go. Then it was done.
Guardian Angel, FI is not...
Hovering someplace between heaven and hell, that limbo all good mothers tell their children about, Amanda Vertra barely registered the change when her soul was collected into the possession of Forced Insanity. A strong psychic and collector of souls.
Everything that had been her now floated in an invisible mass, jumbled and confused. With time and not a small amount of patience on FI's part, they were able to come to an agreement. Access to her mind in exchange for a new body, a fresh start.
With the bargain, one in which her soul became the possession of the psychic, she got herself a young new form to play in.
There are few she's informed of her true identity. And there is most definitely a list of those she hopes never recognize her.
The new body Forced Insanity located for her was something of a goth-looking chick. There were no signs of disease or faults. There was even the hint of a mutant gene.
Vi allowed her soul to be reimplanted in this new form, only to find the mutant gene had already been awakened. The woman, who was known as Delilah Callo prior to having her body robbed of its proper soul, was a necromancer. Her home was full of artifacts meant to raise the dead and summon the dark powers of the underworld.
With much practice and research, Vi has become comfortable in these abilities, if not proficient yet. She adopted the apartment and fashion style of her predecessor, even going so far as to adopt the name of D'lylah.
Middle
So, here she is. New body. New life. New... master. She'll call him 'Boss' but it will never change the total ownership he holds over her. Fortunately for the rebirthed mutant, he doesn't often tap into this and instead more or less allows her to live her life.
