Mostly OOC: was originally created from a dream I had in 1983(?) involving a grocery store's veggies going bad (really bad) (evil in fact) and defeating them with bread and misting hoses... She had been part of a team called the Goon Squad, comprised of 'forgotten and crazy' heroes, of which she was the only one to make any impression on the world. She left that group and formed her own fresh out of high school. The first time I rolled her up in a game system it was for RIFTS and then TMNT and just by taking college courses for it, had speed and agility scores literally off their charts. Notably in this era a comic book known as American Flagg was out, though I didn't actually read it and I don't think it's nearly as 'heroic' as she is (nor maybe at all, since it was meant as satire). IC: In the current era she lives and works in Paragon City as a solo heroine, and moves between there and Crescent City where she heads up the C4 and Carramba High heroics labs, and instructs Non-Human Heroics 1/3rd periods, Snappy Comebacks and Heroic Banter 2nd period, Superheroing For Profit 4/5/7th periods, as well as a seminar entitled Getting In, A Guide To College Life, by American Foxx: June 6th and June 13th in the Main Auditorium. No special requirements but you should be there or be left out! Foxx is our local heroine representing the Crescent and Talon city ares for the last few years in the Superheroes Convention, a graduate of the local Crescent City Community College (C4) system. 700 seats each time. |

Tired of things jumping out of the woodwork and assaulting her friends and classmates, and equally exhausted from watching her 'team' fail to act, she's taken it upon herself to be the first on site, and the last to leave, when things start getting weird. | ||
 |
It's unclear whether she actually was born on Twoarth or if she came from one of the various 'Experimental Earth' dimensions, as she has features common to those who are 'earth animals with genetic splices and boosts' popularized by Adjective Adjective Adjective Noun teams... But she has been called 'perfect' for a reason. She doesn't have laserbeam eyes or weird psychic powers, but she is physically all but indestructable, and more agile than a spider on crack... Also brilliant, dexterous, gorgeous, and kind. Y'know. A 'Hero'. She will enter a burning building and come out without a singed hair, or crawl into a collapsed cave to clear out rubble with her bare hands. She is shown above using a handgun, and with them she has impeccable aim, though doesn't use them often as there is always the potential for innocents getting hurt. She will definitely pick up and use rebar, chunks of building materials, fallen lamp posts, and whatever else is on hand if her enemy seems to require a beatdown. She can scale a sheer rock face with her clawed fingers and toes, and do tumbling routines while being on a tightrope. Foxx is physically superior in almost all ways to basically every humanoid out there, and though she knows it, she doesn't flaunt this, she lets her skill do the talking. | ||
 |
She trained with old-school heroes once she arrived to Carramba's campus, and has a wide variety of physical skills. Acrobatic and strength training, speed and agility, she can assess a situation with a glance, and has a strong charisma to back it all up and bark out orders or soothe frazzled bystanders' nerves. | ||
 |
While some say that she is an overachiever, ... well no, they would absolutely be correct, she has done so much in a short period it's a bit weird. She does have lingering worries about her old team mates going bad, as they were never exactly fully heroic in the first place, and she is also a Weirdness Magnet (hence her being placed in numerous dimensions and teams, and fighting vegetables...) | ||
 |
None, though she mentors a group of students every quarter, passing them along to other instructors as they go to learn different skills such as organization, leadership, physical skills, damage mitigation, and public relations. She is an activist and at one point had been living with a gay couple to make sure that they were safe from the harm that was creeping through the community, and bring attention to that injustice. | ||
 |
 |
Though there are a few heroes outright stronger than she is, 'a few' is right. She can deadlift a cargo container full of stuff, and throw it 50 meters |
 |
 |
She does not quit, she can be pressed to exhaustion but still not go down, if there is anything left to rescue or fight |
 |
 |
With the dexterity to fold a paper crane in one hand, you don't want to know what she could do with a packet of ramen |
 |
|
This isn't even where she peaks. If there were two bars for this aspect, she would fill four of them. She does dodge bullets and raindrops |
 |
|
It is possible that her intelligence is the most strongly or artificially boosted aspect of her biology, her brain is remarkable, and responds very quickly to stimulus |
 |
 |
She has decidedly concentrated her education on current affairs and heroics, and puts her intelligence to those ends rather than more book-learning |
 |
|
Foxx is quite capable of charming a snake, just by blowing it a kiss; she enjoys being the public face of young heroics in Crescent and Talon cities |
 |
|
She is called a fox even if she wasn't a genetically engineered vulpes; though some who aren't attracted to furs might disagree there's still something about her... |
 |
|
As an activist and hero on scene, she's the one that you'll look at while others do their work, but she never hesitates to allow others into that spotlight |
 |
|
First in, last out, in your face, and above all able to rouse others into action; she inspires the best in other people both in classrooms and in the field |
 |
 |
Whether she actually has 'powers' is debatable, they are not active or externally driven, nor elemental in any way if they exist |
 |
|
It's impossible to ignore the level of ability that she demonstrates, and when she puts her mind to learning new skills, her body easily keeps up |

| There is a reason she's chosen to head up heroic classes at Carramba, as well as keeping her hero groups moving | Remarkably heroic, though don't be fooled by her 'good' alignment status - just because she's a hero doesn't mean she won't rile up folks with a bit of chaos now and then; and given chaos seems to find her that's quite often... | She will listen to sob stories and villain monologues alike, but picks and chooses who to side with based on their actions. Encourages those in need, but doesn't hesitate to chastise where necessary as well |
American Foxx had been registered as her heroic name, but really she'd never been known by anything else for so long that by the time she was a late teen, any other name would have been lost to the cheers as she pulled out another pair of children from the rubble of a building. The cheers turned to gasps of fear, when the remaining corner of that building started to teeter.
Selelo extended his large wings and nestled over the rescued group, and called out, "go get it!" As if Foxx wouldn't do that! As chunks of concrete and glass began dropping from the pillar, they bounced harmlessly off of Selelo's breezy shield, and Foxx lept into the air, climbed up that rapidly crumbling stand of rebar and concrete to survey where it would topple, and gave it a very strong kick - it fell onto the already-destroyed portion mostly harmlessly. Grit and dust filled the air still, and would remain until Selelo fanned his wings once more, adding a boost of magic that collected all that dust into a more solid pack, and rested it carefully on top of it all.
The day was saved, thanks to their speed and talent!
