Midnight never developed a good cover story. She's always been Illyria. But over time, over the years, she's developed a strong relationship with her shipmates on the Dragonfly-class Darkling Ship, and she relies on them to help her keep her story straight. 

skills

MANY: The skills she uses most commonly are telekinesis and telepathy.

history

Her native planet is Earth-That-Was, but thousands of years before normal humans lived there. She has all sorts of special powers and magics that she hardly ever gets a chance to use, and hasn't developed any more of a personality in the last 500 years since the whole thing with Angel. 

GAME: DauphineMare / Riverfell and Riverfell

The characters were drawn together to aid in the battle between Chaos and Order. The characters were pawns in a game played by the Powers, though the rules are always changing.

GAME: Escape Mechanism

Not so very long ago, the Powers that Be decided it was time to decide which force should be ruling the Multiverse: the force of Order and light, or the force of Chaos and darkness. So the Powers set up two worlds inside of two bubbles, and picked their chosen representatives from various realities and points in time. Time rolled on, but after only three and a half weeks, they decided the forces were not balanced. That the pawns, the players in their cosmic war, were not equally matched. So they re-evaluated the people they'd chosen, shuffling some into the other bubble. They realized too late that some people had formed bonds in the short time they'd been in these worlds between worlds, nearly unbreakable bonds, and they would not be swayed so easy to their newly chosen side.And so, on midnight of the twenty-fourth day of the war, the Powers that Be sent most of their chosen warriors and catalysts to a new reality, merging the two existing bubbles. They have decided to start drawing in more people, letting bonds form with no barriers between the sides. Chaos' warriors are mingling with Order's chosen, and new people are being brought in on the whims of the Powers.

GAME: Underworld Angel

Morality comes in shades of grey, and none know it quite so well as the Alliance. Exposed for their crimes, they curl up to lick wounds and regroup. Humanity is still in desperate need of betterment, and those who don't leave the establishment in disgust after the origin of Reavers is leaked unite to rebuild a better, more elaborate project. What better way to skirt by the principles of morality than by choosing test subjects who technically shouldn't even exist?

Nobody knows for certain just how the technology was acquired, but cleverly reverse-engineered alien - some might say, Time Lord - tech allowed the same projects responsible for River Tam to continue unscathed. Drawing people from other points in time within parallel universes meant having no family or friends to answer to when those test subjects were harmed during experimentation - and having access to a vast array of natural talents unavailable in humans of their home world.

It worked, initially, but over time the lab rats began to grow discontent. Subjects from the same realities grew closer, patients with similar augmentations began training together in secret, and ultimately the Alliance learned an extremely important lesson: when you mistreat people with incredibly powerful abilities, you will get burned. Those dragged into a world where they never belonged have taken up residence on the once-abandoned planet of Miranda and, with great effort, hijacked the technology used to bend reality. They may not be able to seal the rifts in time and space, but they have been able to prevent the world from collapsing and redirect most rifts to the commandeered planet so newcomers aren't stranded without assistance in a vast, new universe.

Though it took years of war and unfathomable losses, the military compounds which once experimented upon innocent other-worlders have been destroyed. Project: Paradise Lost, the origin of River Tam, has finally seen its last day in the sun and, as far as the 'verse as a whole knows, things have gone quiet on the human augmentation front. Deep in a secret facility, however, Project: Odyssey has taken root - and with it, the Alliance has begun cannibalizing its own military forces, drawing in new recruits who show potential in further experimentation with enhanced powers. Perhaps it's true, what they say: war never changes.
