Not another goddamn oc

Vesper Rafferty / Ultraviolette (The Boys)

Life’s tough when you’re a legacy Supe - aka the kid of a Supe. In fact, Vesper is the child of the world’s first Supe, Soldier Boy. It means she’s been in the spotlight since birth, and that she was the youngest superpowered individual to enter combat. But such dazzling fame comes with a price. For Vesper, it’s substance abuse, a reliance on drugs and alcohol to dull the hot mess her life has become.

As the revered Ultraviolette, Vesper utilises her abilities of dream manipulation and memory alteration to her advantage. She’s a lot of anger and hate in a small package, and she gives as good as she gets, screwing with people’s heads. After all, it’s what happened to her - but that was just pure manipulation, no powers involved.

Messed up though she is, Vesper takes an avid interest when Annie January joins The Seven as their newest member. Realising Annie’s sugar-sweet persona is no joke, Vesper becomes determined to stop Annie from tumbling down into darkness as she did. She wants to protect Annie from realising her childhood heroes are fucked up.

Vesper Rafferty / Ultraviolette ~ Deliverance

As a legacy Supe, everyone expected Vesper to be someone of immense power. Instead, they got a messed-up teenage superhero whose coping mechanisms were...questionable. Now, at 21, Vesper’s trying to get her shit together while running solo. It’s easier said than done. Especially when she meets Annie January, and decides she’d do anything to keep her from going through the same hell Vesper did.

Yessss my girl Vesper, alright this is from Up Down by Boy Epic

I'll be stuck chasing time, running all my life Trying not to lose a fight, burning in my eyes In a mad mad world, I'm falling in Little lost to go, trying to start again

Alright so this is Vesper reflecting on how she’s trying to learn from her past mistakes and have a fresh start, but she feels stuck in the same patterns.

Tick tock don't stop I'm breathing All that I see is, up down, up down And I'm barely breathing, but I follow, follow you down I'm on my knees and spinning, up down, up down Still fighting my demons, but I follow, follow you down

So Vesper’s reflecting on her feelings for Annie and how she’d follow her anywhere basically, but she’s also trying to heal from her traumatic past and her history of substance abuse. She’s a pretty confused mess at this point, but she’s will to give it a go if it means she gets to be with Annie. 

Through the glass I lose myself, in the darkest deep Time is just a memory, with its sun's on me Oh, it's a mad mad world, I'm drowning in Does anybody know, how to start again

Okay so she’s literally just a plot bunny atm but here’s what I’ve got:

Real name Vesper Rafferty, but her alias is Ultraviolette

Approximately 21 years old

Legacy Supe - by that I mean, her father was a Supe and it’s been passed down to her. 

Originally thought of having Homelander for her dad but with the announcement of Jensen Ackles playing Soldier Boy, I’m debating Soldier Boy being her dad

Pansexual af

Ultimate love interest undecided, potentially Annie January

Undetermined whether she’s a member of the Seven or another superhero team, or whether she operates alone

Substance abuse issues - she’s been in the spotlight since she was born and an operational superhero since the age of 13

Mother also unknown at this point.

Personality wise, she’s pretty messed up. As basically a teenage star, she grew up extremely fast and was under a lot of pressure. She can come across as vindictive, hot-tempered and uncaring.
