Mackie has been around since beta, and has been one of two characters that hasn't had much tweaking done. While I've changed her personality some from her first stuttering starts, I'm kind of happy where she is now. Her origins are from a Marvel Comics RP storyline I used to be in many years ago, and when CoH first came out, I had to bring her along. One day she'll hit 50. God only knows when. She tripped over 50 on 30 Sept. 2007.

History
Mackie was born May 4th, 1983, the first child of Robert and Janet Killian, in Biloxi, Mississippi. She grew up alongside her younger brother Franklin, and was generally an affable girl. Her childhood was nondescript until her mutant powers manifested after her 14th birthday. She kept knowledge of them on the down-low, confiding their existence in her brother Frank alone for the first few years. In the summer prior to her senior year of high school, Mackie broke her leg and was house-bound for several weeks; to keep herself occupied, she started dallying in computer hacking. What had begun as a distraction later became one of her obsessions.
She made it to college and attended two years at Mississippi State University, but she never quite fell into the proper mind-set of college. One to question established methods, her grades suffered and she decided not to waste any more of her parents' money. Having kept a keen interest in all beings superpowered since she got her own, she was drawn to Paragon City in Rhode Island, and decided she'd try her hand there. In 2004, she moved up there and registered herself in the Hero Corps databanks.
Shortly afterward, she was contacted by a hero that went by the name Tenebre, who couldn't go through the mundane sign-up procedures. It required Mackie to cut into the city's databases, and it was a challenge to her skills as a hacker. She took it for the money, but also because of that challenge. She garnered help in the form of another computer whiz, U.K.-born and new transfer student to Winthrop U, Douglas Corbett. They escaped city notice, but had caught the attention of a mercenary group operating in the city -- Raptor.
Raptor contacted the pair, and through a devious use of coercion and blackmail, brought Mackie and Doug into their fold. Mackie worked for the organization until 2005, when it decided to relocated to the Rogue Isles. Freed from her contract, Mackie struck out on her own and has worked essentially solo since.
Affiliations
Once a member of Raptor, she holds no relations to any of its current members. Mackie knows a lot of people, but isn't in with any particular group. She's a freelance operative with Vanguard, and has worked on several occasions with the Paragon Police Department, Freedom Phalanx, and Longbow. She once joined the Neverenders, having coaxed her friend Giga Gal into getting her incompetent ass a job. (Everything but the coaxing and incompetency is true.) She once moonlighted with The Giordano Family for occasional odd jobs, worked with Adversity Solutions Incorporated, and was on retainer with Professional Solutions.
Personality
Mackie is a strong, vivacious, opinionated young woman. She's very self-reliant, and likely to fumble on her own several times before ever asking for help. She's head-strong, but flexible, and has always been willing to listen to another person's opinion, as long as they can support it well.
She is also something of a loner, and a commitmentaphobe, two traits that spawned after her employment within Raptor. Given that she'd only been recruited via threats to Douglas, and her family, Mackie involuntarily pushes people away. Connections and relationships with people make them targets, and while she hasn't worked for Raptor for nearly 2 years, the lesson was drilled firmly into her head. Her flippant, care-free attitude is an attempt to mask her compulsion to keep to herself. While she's much better about it now than she used to be, it's obvious that commitment in any form makes her uneasy.
Mackie is protective of the few friends she allows herself to have, and hates bullies with a passion. She's very likely to jump to the aid of a perfect stranger, even if the odds are stacked up against her. She's confident to the point of arrogance, but she always backs up her words.
When she has a job to do, she is efficient and wastes no time. She has learned to do whatever needs doing without second-guessing herself, although some orders she questions. There are some things Mackie will never do, minus threats to an innocent.
She has a virulent temper, though she'll usually try to talk down a situation before picking a fight.
Powers
Ice
As previously mentioned, her cryokinetic powers manifested shortly after puberty. Theory has it that her father, who worked in a liquid gases facility at the time, had been exposed to certain chemicals that altered his DNA.
Primarily Mackie uses her ice powers defensively, creating several forms of armor for herself. She's also managed to manipulate ice into more offensive things, like swords, and patches on the ground. Her mastery has come over time, at the expense of a low innate body temperature, and a sensitivity to high atmospheric temperatures.
