Complications
Monstrous: Slitted eyes and feral look, Carmen Alvarez, La Puma
Negra is a strange mix of cat creature and human. Elf like
caters sprout from her head of long curly black hair in place of
normal Human ears.
Motivation: Responsibility: A juvenile delinquent even before,
Carmen sees being a hero, or at least trying to be as a way to set
her life back to before she took on the family curse. If she can
make something out of this, is that she can find redemption for
some of her later deeds before being apprehended.
Temper: Constantly fighting her more animalistic side, Carmen is
somewhat of a wild spirit, easily getting frustrated when
things don't turn out her way. She is usually able to suppress it
publicly but make speak in a rather aggressive manner.
Weakness: Sound based attacks can have a serious effect
against her.

La Puma Negra was born and later adopted to a small family in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico before emigrating to the United States. Before the activation of her genetic curse, Carmen Herrero Alvarez had lived a relatively normal life, attending a small Catholic private school in sunny Florida. Never privy to her true family.

At the age of fifteen, her true nature would emerge, and the shock of the event would lead to a young Carmen running from home, never to return again. During this period of wandering, Carmen was constantly on the run from the law, having gotten in with far less savory elements of society. Here however she felt free, letting herself go wild from her instincts often taking over. A group of other outcasts around the DC area that had coalesced together to survive.

This would be stopped when she was enlisted to help in a bank robbery for her peculiar skill set. This would have her stumble upon the likes of Wonder Woman, already used to a similar feline like foe. Carmen would be abandoned by her supposed friends and left to fend for herself in a losing battle against the Amazon. Beaten by the Leauger, she was taken pity for, seen as simply just a child trying to find a home. After a small recovery period, she was sponsored by to be rehabilitated. What that meant she didn't know.

The Gaunt Helm dresses very similarly to the Phantom Stranger. Due to the strange, featureless skintight helmet he wears, made of a mysterious taupe metal, he gives off a vaguely menacing aura. The monotone voice that he speaks in is slightly modulated, and hard to determine exactly what qualities it has to it. No skin shows anywhere on his costume, in fact people merely assume that the Gaunt Helm is in fact, a him. Also known as Tabula Rasa in mystic circles due to the blank helmet that is the Gaunt Helm's face, not much is publically known about the hero.
But where did the Gaunt Helm come from? Schollars of the arcane will tell you that a helmeted figure of vengence, similar to spectre has occasionally appeared throughout history, during times of particular unrest, bonding to a host, and imbuing them with the collected power from across generations. The last appearance of the helmet was in midevial times, in which after spending several years beating back a demonic invasion, it became unhinged after the threat was distroyed, going after even the smallest infractions of the law with extreme predjudice. Disheartened, it's previous allies banished it back to where it had come from, the land of dreams.
For the Gaunt Helm is not just a man, or an artifact but in fact a nightmare, escaped from the land of the Dream Lord. It is the nightmare of criminals, but it has been tempered over the years. In the past being nothing more than a one track minded automoton of violence, the Gaunt Helm has gained nuance, subtlety, and the faintest glimmer of compassion. The current wearer of the helm was a detective, shot and on the brink of death. In the past, the Tabula Rasa would have completely overwritten the man's personality, leaving only the burning desire for justice. However, this time, it merged, fused, became something more. There are glimmers of the man that Detective Crazwick used to be, favored paintings, a desire to protect instead of merely destroy, and perhaps most tellingly, a genuine appreciation for good partners.
Armed with a small portion of the Dream Lord's sand, the Tabula Rasa took on the mantle of the Gaunt Helm. Many have noticed his similarity to other heros, but the resemblance to the hero known as the Sandman have lead some to beleive that Detective Crazwick may have been related to the man in some way.

“You will be known in the Corps as Rigel Kentaurus, named by the Central Battery itself after the brilliant blue-white star which is closest to your planet. The Battery chose you, both because you chose Hope, and because you created me, much like a Guardian might have. For that I thank you, and I look forward to working with you Rigel.”

It was a strange morning. He had a photo shoot. He had shredded for weeks. He must be dehydrated though … weird blue rings don’t talk to you. He wasn’t sure electrolytes, caffeine, and ibuprofen were going to fix the headache either.

and then things started to happen ...

There are times that you don't actually choose to be the Paris, but your last name is still Hilton, right?. So what do you do, text your father and say "you're too busy" to be the face of his billion dollar publicity stunt? Yeah no, it doesn't work that way ...

(and when it all goes to hell, at least you got powers out of it)

The Launch of the Kent Foundation Partical Inversion Accelerator was meant to be an extraordinary gift: mostly to science, but largely to the Kent Enterprises PR Team. It was meant to be a crowning achievement, not a disaster.

It turned out to be a disaster. Not a total disaster: all press is good press, right? The company was in the spotlight for sure, and the investigations and recovery were just as powerful for science as the lab itself would be. Having found each other as the only survivors of the press junket that morning, neither Rigel or his friend Olene could understand who would have sabotaged them ...
