Ebony Davis

{{Character

Ebony Davis, daughter of Thomas and Susan Davis, grew up in a small village called Lavenham in Suffolk. She was always quiet and of few words, therefore did not make many friendships from school, particularly none that lasted. She did above average in her GCSE's though and moved onto college to train to be a nurse, following her father, a doctor at West Suffolk Hospital, into a medical career.

The Birth Of Her Powers
Ebony’s powers emerged when she was 18, following the death of her mother. Her mother had been involved in a hit and run and had died on the scene of the accident. When taken to the hospital she was taken straight down to the morgue, from where Ebony and her father we're called to identify her body. After identifying her and grieving with her father Ebony put a hand on her mother’s body as a token of farewell, suddenly feeling weak at the contact of their skin and passing out in seconds.

She awoke to darkness and a very confined, sealed space. She yelled for help and was released from a morgue drawer by a stunned nurse. A taxi ride later Ebony returned home to find an ambulance taking dead mother in an ambulance. Her Father fell in shock from seeing her back and she unwittingly absorbed a cut on his hand as she helped him up, which then healed rapidly before thier eyes revealing another outlet of her power.

As it became clear that there was something beyond ordinary about Ebony she began to wonder whether the weird events surrounding her mother’s death were just coincidences, or whether it was another manifestation of her power. She decided to run a test, carefully picking up a dead feild mouse using rubber gloves, taking it home and putting in the middle of a shoebox, with a bowl of seed and bowl of water at the side. She then removed her gloves and touched the mouse with her bare hand. Again she passed out, awaking exactly 24 hours later. The mouse had moved while she had been out, the food had been eating and there were fresh droppings in the box. This and another test on a deceased rabbit confirmed her power to her.

Ebony was eager to use her powers to help others, especially at the hospital where she was now working part time, and particularly her reviving powers on those who died without a chance to say goodbye to thier families, as she never had a chance to say goodbye to her mother. Her father wasn't so keen though, finding her 'deaths' painful, despite knowing that she would come back in 24 hours, and warned her to be cautious in using her healing powers to keep them secret as far as possible. She complied with his wishes as much as possible, only healing those whom it wouldn't be obvious, such as broken arms that had not been x-rayed yet, and using her reviving powers sparingly.

Forming An Alliance
The first other powered individuals Ebony met was Azumi Johnson aka Forcefield and her brother Koji Johnson aka Firefly. On a visit to London with her father they pass by an alleyway where Koji has just been shot by a thug, with Azumi weeping over his body. First her father offers assistance as a doctor, but Koji is already dead, so Ebony offers her powers, despite her fathers hesitance to let her. After explaining to Azumi, Ebony revives Koji, much to his sisters gratitude, who in return puts up Ebony's body and her father for the night, however once the switch back of lives has taken place Ebony and her father left swiftly to give the family time to greive. However once Azumi had recovered enough from the blow of her brother’s death she soon contacted Ebony again, revealing to her that she also has powers, as did Koji when he was alive. The two kept up a regular contact, quickly become close as sisters.

Captivity
A few years later Ebony’s powers were discovered by a criminal circle called the Delphino. They take her captive to use for their own devious ends, getting her to revive people they’ve killed to get information out of them in exchange for their freedom, as well as being their own captive nurse.

While in captivity there she encountered Lesley Elsom being thrown out of the building in a near dead state, and left to be finished off by the elements. In pity, and not knowing he would one day be an enemy, she called him over to her window, reaching through the bars and healing him, then telling him to escape while he could. This earned her his life debt, which she would later use.

Her powers were abused by her guards while she was captive, purposefully injuring themselves so she would heal them. She used this to her advantage, threatening to let one did who had slit his wrists for her to heal, unless he gives her a pen and paper, which she wrote a letter to Azumi on asking for help, waiting for an opportunity to send this out. This opportunity came when the same guard out of spite for what she had done to him the previous dad gave her a dead pidgeon to eat rather than her rations. She tied the note to the rat before reviving it, hoping it would get the letter at least out of the facility to someone who would mail it, which it did. Azumi then contacted the current EPSAS team who came to her rescue.

Joining EPSAS
After their rescue of Ebony from the hands of the Delphino, EPSAS saw potential for Ebony’s powers in their team, and offered her a place, which she accepted. She took up the position of team medic, was given an official costume and trained with them to develop her powers and also learn some basic self defence. With the training from her team Ebony began to develop more control of her powers, such as not healing automatically on touch, but when desired, and increased healing speed.
 * Powers = Accelerated Healing: Ebony’s body heals much faster than a normal human, healing smaller injuries in seconds and larger in minutes, and leaving no scars upon her body. This also includes rapid healing of illness and diseases, but can do nothing about fatigue.

Permanent Suspension of Physical Ageing: The emerging of Ebony powers halted Ebony’s physical aging process, therefore she remains looking physically 18.

Immortality: Ebony is always revives when she is ‘killed’, and heals from any injuries. Her suspended aging also suggests she cannot die of old age, therefore she is considered immortal.

Healing Others: Ebony can heal others instantaneously also through physical contact, skin to skin. This is done by transferring her healthy cells from her to cover their wound, leaving exactly the same wound on Ebony, which then heals at her own pace. This also leaves no scars on either person.

Revival of the Dead: Ebony can restore life to a deceased person for a period of 24 hours, by transferring her life force to them, again through touch. After the 24 hours is up her life force automatically returns to her, no matter where she is. As Ebony’s healing powers are also present in her revivals it does not particularly matter what state the body is in for her to revive it. However, she can only revive a deceased person for 1x 24hour period, and for the 24 hours that person is alive again she herself is clinically dead, therefore can never see anyone she brings back.
 * Abilities = Extensive Medical Knowledge/Training: Ebony has extensive knowledge of medicine due to her father’s teaching and her nursing degree.

Basic Self Defence: Taught to her as part of her training with EPSAS
 * Strength = Ebony has the normal strength of an 18 year old girl who does moderate exercise
 * Weaknesses = Deaths: When she has revived someone from the dead Ebony is herself dead for the 24 hours they are alive, leaving her useless and vulnerable.

Claustrophobia: Due to the long term psychological effects of her experience of waking up in the confined space of a morgue drawer, Ebony suffers from a fear of enclosed spaces.


 * Equipment = Gloves: Ebony almost constantly wears a pair of gloves to prevent her inadvertently healing everyone she touches, as she cannot control this from automatically happening otherwise. She takes them off to heal when needed. She does eventually learn to control her healing powers though, therefore gets rid of the gloves.

Mask: Ebony insists on wearing a mask to hide her identity, mainly due to her Father instiling in her the need to keep her powers secret, and her capture due to them being known. }}
