HUNTER'S MOON Topaz Hitchcock as Caitlin Fairchild of Gen 13


 

This is for :iconvladen13:'s Hunters Moon 2021 for Halloween there was a party next to an old graveyard.   Things are getting weird for my OCs and have been grabbed by some mysterious force.  It seems that even the dead are party poopers.

This is feline OC Topaz Hitchcock dressed as Caitlin Fairchild of Wildstorm Comics' Gen 13.  Another victim of the evil forces of this cemetary.

Caitlin Fairchild is a Gen Active superhero, usually just using her surname Fairchild as an alias. A founding member of Gen 13, she can alter her muscle mass which increases her size, strength and durability.

Caitlin Fairchild is the daughter of Alexander Fairchild of Team 7. When he was forced to go underground to escape International Operations, Alex Fairchild left Caitlin in the care of relatives in Portland, Oregon. Raised by her aunt and uncle alongside her cousin Karen, Caitlin grew into a brilliant, but rather mousy young woman. Her academic skill led to her being accepted to Princeton University where she double-majored in computer science and electrical engineering.

In her sophomore year, Caitlin was recruited into Project: Genesis which she believed to be some sort of government internship. One night, Caitlin began to feel ill (due to secretly being fed drugs designed to activate latent Gen-Active abilities) and staggered out of her room to try to find a bathroom. She inadvertently stumbled into a computer room where her future teammates Grunge and Roxy were hanging out. Caitlin convinced them to go back to their rooms and was about to leave when she spotted her father's name on a computer screen.

Caitlin, investigating this, was interrupted by a security guard who clubbed her with his rifle when she tried to explain herself. The guard was about to turn on Grunge and Roxy, but was interrupted by Caitlin's anger activating her latent gen-active abilities. Fairchild's clothing was shredded in the process, but within seconds she was transformed from a mousy computer geek to a powerful, towering amazon.

Borrowing Grunge's shirt, Caitlin, Roxy and Grunge decided to escape Project: Genesis. Along the way, they were joined by Bobby Lane and Sarah Rainmaker. Despite their best efforts the team's escape from Project: Genesis would have failed if not for the intervention of International Operations director John Lynch.

Deciding that I/O had to be opposed, Lynch turned on the organization and helped the teens flee to San Diego, California where he set up a luxurious safe house in the La Jolla area. Lynch promised to teach the fledgling superheroes how to make a difference in the world and to help them uncover the mysteries of who their parents were.

Because of her responsible and mature attitude, Caitlin was universally elected field leader of the team. Though uncertain of her abilities, Fairchild accepted the role and her cool thinking got the team out of more than a few tight situations. Some time later, John Lynch disappeared. But Alex Fairchild, who Caitlin was reunited with during the Fire from Heaven crossover, took up the role of mentor. It was during this period that the team relocated to the Florida Keys and Roxy and Caitlin discovered that they were half-sisters.

But the family reunion was short-lived as Alex was killed protecting his daughters and the rest of the team from the villain Tindalos. With her father dead and John Lynch still missing, Caitlin took full leadership of the team.

Though sometimes frustrated by her comrades' personal eccentricities, Caitlin cares deeply for all of them. They are all the family she has now. In return, the rest of Gen 13 look to Caitlin as both a friend and leader. Also, an accident resulted in a case of amnesia that made her believe she was Supergirl for a time, an issue that was quickly resolved.

Following the events of Captain Atom: Armageddon, Caitlin was still living with her adoptive parents when she mysteriously wakes up with a version of her familiar green uniform. Her parents took this as a cue that their apparent mission to raise her was over. Soldiers entered her home, killed her parents and kidnapped Caitlin. She met up with other familiar Gen 13 characters, Freefall, Burnout, Rainmaker and Grunge, for apparently the first time.

Caitlin, forced to pose for prurient shoots in stereotypical hypersexualized situations, helped the other Gens to escape from Tabula Rasa, the I/O offshoot project responsible for their empowerment, protecting them and caring as a sort of rational and mother-like "hen mother" for the group. However, her time with Tabula Rasa leaves her badly traumatized and unsure about her prettier appearance, due to the motives leading them to give it to her in the first place. As the natural "leader" of the group she leads them during throughout their escape, helping Rainmaker into coping with her homosexuality and reassure her that they still could be friends even if they'll never be lovers as she hoped to, caring for Grunge when, forced to kill in self-defense, is left shattered and falls in a deep depression, warding off further plans of Tabula Rasa's men to control the Gen 13 members life, and, ultimately taking care of Burnout, blinded during the World's End event.

During Gen 13's adventures, Caitlin was revealed to be, as her Gen 13 teammates, the recipient of the soul of her original namesake, collected by the Doctor and restored in the new body. However, in this life all the Gens exhibit different tendencies, becoming progressively their own persons: Caitlin is less a tease and a bombshell, and more of a quiet, peaceful hen-mother whose quiet and collected manners stride heavily with her pin-up body.

Caitlin's role in the post-Armageddon ruins which Earth had become was now caring for the safety of her friends: when the other Gens suppose that Caitlin may be developing the Florence Nightingale Effect, Grunge dismissed it, claiming that helping friends in need is a facet of her personality, and pressured her into being more carefree for a while.

While seeking refuge in a mall, the team split up to find new clothing. While alone, Rainmaker embraced Caitlin and the two kiss. Caitlin pushed Sarah away, who ran off. While following Sarah to apologize for acting so harshly, Caitlin noticed a group of people outside the mall. She let them in so they could get food and shelter. These people, however, were infected with the Warhol Virus and turned into Incubites. After fighting them off, Caitlin was dowsed in the blood of one of the dead creatures. After washing up the gang decided to head to the town of Tranquility.

After hitching a ride from Dr. Sin the team headed to a post-apocalyptic skate-park run by youths. While settling in a tent, Caitlin grabbed Bobby and the two kissed. Rainmaker saw this and stormed out of the park. After taking a break from their make-out session, Caitlin stepped out of the tent and is met by HollyDenton. Caitlin was skeptical of her knowledge about Tabula Rasa and was reluctant to befriend her. Shortly after this, Megan and Dr. Cross (in child form) sprayed them all with a blue goo that encapsulated them all. After escaping from this, they discovered that the youths at the park were cannibals. In the process of escaping, Caitlin was stabbed and started to bleed, to her surprise. Holly used her power to remove the stabber's skin, killing him instantly. Megan then drove up in her I.O. van and offered the team a ride.

Caitlin remained critically wounded and close to succumbing to the Warhol Virus in which Dr. Cross pledged the Gens in helping her, only in exchange for a blood sample from each of them in return. Upon arriving to the town of Malice, Caitlin, Cross and Megan were taken prisoners by the Fearsmiths after the toddlers convinced the villains that Caitlin was their mother and needed medical attention for her. Ultimately, Caitlin mutated into an Incubite and slain Taipan, Stinkbug and Nightmary. Just as her fifteen minutes almost expired, Holly cured Caitlin with her powers at the cost of her life.

HUNTER'S MOON Ethelred Cromwell as Roxy "Freefall" Spaulding


 

This is for :iconvladen13:'s Hunters Moon 2021 for Halloween there was a party next to an old graveyard.   Things are getting weird for my OCs and have been grabbed by some mysterious force.  It seems that even the dead are party poopers.

Here is my groundhog OC Ethelred Cromwell being bound and gagged as Wildstorm Comics' Roxy "Freefall" Spaulding.

Roxanne "Roxy" Spaulding is Freefall, a young superhero with the power to manipulate gravity. She is a member of Gen 13.

Roxy is the daughter of Team 7 member Alexander Fairchild and Gloria Spaulding. The two met when Alex was a soldier, stationed at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Gloria was the daughter of the base commander. Despite her father's dislike of Alex, Gloria and Alex grew close, but soon Alex was called away on another secret mission. Gloria, who had become pregnant, had no way of contacting him. Gloria later married another man and told everyone, including her daughter Roxanne, that the child was merely her stepchild.

Details on Roxy's life before coming to Project: Genesis are sketchy. But a picture of her past can be gleaned from comments Freefall made over the course of the series.

During a dream sequence Roxy is called "trailer trash" by classmates from her Catholic school. This, along with Roxy's habit of sometimes wearing a crucifix necklace and comments during some conversations confirmed that she was raised a Catholic, though her behavior indicates that she is a lapsed Catholic.

Freefall tends to speak with something of a valley girl accent, hinting that she may have grown up somewhere in Southern California, though she visited her mother when staying in New York City. In Las Vegas, Roxy had missed her mother by mere hours at a casino she had been working at. This c ould be a hint that Gloria Spaulding has a tendency to move often.

Roxy's father, Alex, was exposed to the Gen-factor, a substance which gave him and his fellow Team 7 members superhuman powers. Team 7's superiors, International Operations, thought that their children had inherited their powers and started Project: Genesis, testing and recruiting children who were gen-active from all over the United States. Roxy was the youngest member of Gen 13. She managed to escape Project: Genesis with them after they found out that the I.O. was planning to enslave them. During their escape, Roxy's powers manifested: she was now capable of manipulating gravity and took the codename Freefall. Roxy became infatuated with fellow teammate, Grunge, whom she saw as "the man of her dreams". She developed a jealousy of her statuesque teammate, Caitlin Fairchild, who was often ogled by Grunge, even though she likes Caitlin a lot.

Gen 13 relocated to San Diego after their escape and one evening, Roxy snuck out of the house barefoot to go to a dance club called The Soil Machine. In the club, she found the alien, Oeelocke, who was hunted by alien bounty hunters. Gen 13's mentor, John Lynch, noticed the aliens arriving on Earth and sent the rest of Gen 13 to help Roxy. They drove back the bounty hunters and the Qeelocke became Roxy's pet. Shortly afterwards, Grunge finally returned her affections and the two became romantically involved. However, Grunge was unfaithful, insensitive and immature and their relationship often broke apart.

During her time in Gen 13, Roxy would find out that Alex Fairchild was her father and that her teammate Fairchild was her half-sister. She would also learn that the woman she thought was her foster mother was in fact her birth mother. Roxy was deeply upset that her mother had lied to her for her entire life, even if the lies had been meant to protect her. However, the two did eventually mend fences. It also led to frictions between her and Alex Fairchild, who had become the team's mentor. After Alex explained to her that he had no way of knowing about her, she came to accept him as a father, but Alex died protecting the team shortly afterwards.

Over the next few months, Roxy had a lot of arguments with her teammates, who had always had difficulties understanding Roxy's infatuation with Grunge, her smoking habits, and her general attitude. Their concerns were proven correct when Roxy found out that Grunge had been having an affair with Swift from The Authority. Despite this all, Roxy was still in love with Grunge. During this time, Roxy also became a bit of an otaku, with a great love for J-pop music and anime.

Roxy was thought to be have been killed in an explosion with the rest of Gen 13, but in fact, Gen 13 had been displaced to an alternate universe and they returned to their own Earth months later.

Following the events of Captain Atom: Armageddon, Roxanne Lynette Spalding lives in San Antonio, Texas. She was raised in a working class environment by a verbally and emotionally abusive single mother. After waking up in her uniform, her "mother" apologizes to her about the abusive upbringing and makes an effort to help her escape.  Tabula Rasa renders her unconscious and Roxy was captured and taken in with the rest of the group.

Eventually, the group escaped the compound, Roxy ran into Reverend Timothy Hogan (AKA Special T). Special T revealed that Roxy was a clone based on his deceased daughter. He helped Roxy and the team (minus Grunge), by deactivating the chips implanted by Tabula Rasa, and provided transport back to Tabula Rasa to rescue Grunge. After Doctor Peter Cross' death, she was eventually reunited with her foster mother, who provided a minivan and money to escape to Tranquility. Eventually, she went with the gang to New York City, where they become trapped in a teleporter while the Earth was destroyed by The High's clones, the Reapers.

During Gen 13's adventures, Roxanne was revealed to be, as her Gen 13 teammates, the recipient of the soul of her original namesake, collected by the Doctor and restored in the new body. However, in this life all the Gens exhibit different tendencies, becoming progressively their own persons.

During the World's End events, Roxy was the first to witness the devastation brought on Earth, after a teletransport mishap left the entire team frozen for months. Emotionally shattered, she tried to cope and help the team to survive. Pressured to share her fantasies about the post-atomic world as a way to crack the tension, she revealed to have none: she just wanted to have had more time to live a happier and more peaceful adolescence, becoming a better student, a beloved cheerleader and growing up in a caring family: things she feels she will never have again

Across Gen 13's journey, Roxy and her team encountered the Paladins after being saved from the Fearsmiths. She and her friends were trained by the heroes into becoming better superheros, in which Roxy became further in touch with her powers by Mite.  At this time, Palatine Hill was then under attack by remnants of the U.S. military. Fortunately, Roxy used her powers in levitating Palatine Hill into space, allowing the invading soldiers to pass out from asphyxiation.  Gen 13 were later summoned to UnLondon where they were briefed by the Authority into being offered a chance to leave Earth on the Carrier. Subsequently, Roxy boarded the shift-ship and reunited with Sarah Rainmaker, who had earlier left Gen 13.
