Re-meet Tonya Harding and the new series

Throughout this long break in the writings I've changed the stories around significantly and more importantly I've made a drastic change to the Sentinels. Well, actually the change is that there IS no more Sentinels, not yet anyway. I felt that the whole prison setup really barred off alotta possibilities in story telling and branching and that the bond between these characters would be temporary as they go their separate ways and most likely never talk to each other again. Evelyn wanted to be left alone, So did Nick, so did Chris, etc. So the whole idea of this superhero prison task force assembled under the nose of the government under the supervision of the Prison supervisor herself sounded way too ludicrous for me, personally. I want it to feel less forced and more open.

Tonya Harding has undergone quite the transformation background wise. She doesn't recall many years of her life outside her brief stint in the army as part of a meta-human task force to which she did some deeds she's not particularly proud of. But now, because her use has been exhausted she was discharged and throw back to the states and was pretty much forced to try and make it on her own. This proved to be a far greater tragedy as she suffered the shock of returning to a different, uncaring world and she ends up homeless.

Her new journey starts when she is discovered by a wealthy couple in New Jersey and is able to stay with them for a while. No desire to become some sort of hero or anti-hero, but the will to become something greater.

The transformation from a position of power to a completely powerless role is a drastic change. But it allows for the build up of her character. And she'll certainly have a more relate-able story this time around.

Meet Nicholas Blade

Nicholas Blade is being reintroduced along with Tonya Harding with a new series on his own. He, like the others, is no longer bound to the prison framing device. He's free and out on the streets. His ability to be ruthless is well preserved too. His story is now focused on a blood war he was born into versus a rival family, the Drakes. Several tragedies in his life are attributed to the actions of his father's transgressions and have formed a thick black cloud over his life. He lost his mother and he lost his wife out of collateral damage of a war he was born into. The last thing he has left is his daughter and he'll be damned before he lets them take her.
