Origin

Pink Devil[1] is a mutant born in Eastgate in 1988. When her home was destroyed in late 2000 during the Hollowing event, her mutation suddenly activated as the emotional energy of thousands of people suddenly spiked in her immediate vicinity. By absorbing these energies Pink gained enough strength to help dig survivors from crumbling buildings, blast through walls to free trapped people, and fight the Trolls and other villains showing up to loot and pillage in the ruins. Once the energy she had absorbed dissipated she returned to her normal appearance and nobody managed to connect the faun-like heroine with the seemingly normal girl.

This did not last long. Like most teenagers her raging hormones came with emotional outbursts, which would charge her up and cause her to change physically. She managed to hide this for a while but it all came out in the open when her first kiss turned into an explosive event which destroyed half a house and seriously injured the unlucky boy who supplied the kiss. Her parents brought her to the experts at G.I.F.T, who provided a device which would suppress her powers and allow her to live a mostly normal life. G.I.F.T also managed to cover up the cause of the explosion to protect Pink's true nature.

When Pink went off to college[2] she talked to members of a student club for registered heroes called C.A.P.E.S, and became convinced to use her powers as a hero as well. Without telling anyone, especially her parents, she registered as a hero with the authorities and began her secret career as the dazzling wonderful Pink Devil.


Powers

Pink Devil's most important power is the ability to absorb and channel emotional energy. She will continually absorb the emotional energy around her. This absorbed emotional energy is the source of all her other powers.

The easiest way for Pinky to get rid of excess energy is to shoot beams of the stuff from her hands. She can shoot different kinds of beams for different effect: fast but weak bolts, focused but slower snipe shots, wide torrents and explosive bombs, etc. She can even drain all her energy at once with a move she sometimes calls the Love Bomb.

By closing her hands into fists she can channel the energy to protect her hands when she punches someone. Her hands will seem to glow red or pink but that's just because the bright light shines through the blood in her hands. The energy in her fists adds considerable damage to her punches. She can send a full grown man over twenty feet away with just a flick of her wrist.

Her digitigrade legs are quite powerful on their own, easily capable of jumping 20-30 feet horizontally and almost half that distance vertically. However, when she channels energy to her hooves she can easily increase these distances ten-fold. This is how she prefers to move around town, recently with the assistance of bat-like wings to help guide her direction.

By channeling energy to her wings she is able to fly at a moderate speed. This is probably not a matter of pure physical flight but probably some kind of telekinetic manipulation or anti-gravity generation. The wings mostly help her control her movements in the air.

Pink is a ballet dancer and enjoys cheerleading and other physical activities. She has also been blessed with a perfect physique and health. She is at least at Olympic Athlete level of speed, strength, agility and endurance, and she can easily exceed these levels for some time by the appropriate channeling of energy.

The final application of her energy channeling allows her to protect herself from damage by creating a force field bubble, strengthening her skin or temporarily transform into pure energy for a brief period of near indestructibility. This will also make her glow really pretty.

Pink Devil's eyes, skin and hair lack pigmentation. Her hair is naturally white but she dyes it pink. Her eyes are also pink or red but she will usually wear protective lenses since they are very sensitive to bright light. Thanks to the comic-book laws of the universe, or perhaps her mutant DNA, she doesn't suffer from any of the really bad things usually connected to albinism.

As a side effect of her empathic absorption, the emotions used to fuel her blasts will be transfered to the target. This combined with her subconscious preventing her from feeling love means that sometimes the targets of her blasts will experience unusual emotional reactions just before passing out.

Trivia

  • The "Pink Devil"-line of sex toys, lubricants and scented oils is entirely unsanctioned by the heroine. She would take the company that continues to use her name and image unlawfully to court if she wasn't so embarrased about it.
  • Pink may sometimes look like she's naked but she's actually wearing a white tight catsuit that looks very much like her skin. The pink glow and sparkles that usually surrounds her makes it hard to tell if she's wearing anything at all.
