Wild5
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Contents |
Basic Concept & Short History:
The world is a mess, and no where else is that more pronounced than in Paragon City. The recent and reacurring involvement of anything and everything from aliens to gangs to massive global corporations has left its mark on the Town Heroes Built. All the while individual heroes, super teams, government agencies, and secretive vigillantees have sought to put back their city into working order. But as destroyed buildings and lost landmarks are rebuilt, destroyed families and lost lives remain forever gone. It has been one of the fallouts from the recent hell Paragon City has gone through, and it has affected none worse than the childen and masses of orphans throughout the city.
Through a random gathering at a local diner, a group of five twentysomethings banded together on the streets of Paragon City. Finding kindred spirits in their similar gateways to heroism, the group of Scientific and Technological heroes dubbed themselves WILD5! Seeking to right the wrongs in their city, they do it no longer alone, but as a family.

She left her school and family in Minnesota and, dubbing herself "Blue Ox", moved to Paragon City where she met the other members of the "Wild5". Her friends call her "Babe".
Team Leadership
Templar serves as the center of the team, but in all reality there is no formal leadership of WILD5. As was described in the Expanded Premise, this team differs from most super hero alliances in that it is neither organized like a military squad or corporation. In this team, everyone plays a specific role and no one has any greater say over another. In one regard or another, each member of the team would be utterly alone were it not for his or her fellow heroes, so WILD5 serves as a surrogate family for each of them.
