Biography:

Victoria-21 is a computer system created by a computer system.  Her creator is VIC-20.  VIC was created by evil scientist Dr. Obidiah Planters.  His name stands for Virtual Intelligence Computer, and he was the 20th model.

Though created for evil, VIC chose to instead serve the hero called Super-Bob, but now serves most of Earth's heroes.

A few years ago, VIC decided to create a backup copy and upgrade it, to run more efficiently.  This upgrade became Victoria-21.  She was so named because she chose to take on a female persona and was the 21st model.

And she was indeed an upgrade. VIC was tied to the internet, but could still only operate out of hardware.  Victoria on the other hand was able to project a holographic image using satellites.  VIC and Victoria were actually two systems, but were still linked to each other,and also to the web, thus Victoria had access to a vast information network.

Victoria was provided by VIC to work for NighTforce, a team devoted to fighting the evils of the paranormal and the New Power Organization, whose leader was NighTforce, a hero who had worked closely with VIC over the years.

Comments:

All NighTforce members are based on members of a paranormal team I have been associated with.  Of course, VIC-20 has been a character in the Wronskiverse since 1980, and was inspired by my first computer.

Created by Robert E. Wronski, Jr.

Real Name:  Julianne Sasso

Current Occupation:  Demon Hunter

Parents:  Unknown

Spouse:  None

Children:  None

Group Affiliation:  NighTforce

Place of Birth:  Paradise City

Current Place of Residence:  Paradise City

First Appearance:  NighTforce # 1, January 2008

Biography:

Jules Sasso is a member of NighTforce, a team devoted to both the eradication of the paranormal cult called the New Power, and to eridicating demons and other paranormal evil.

Jules was one of the original members of the team, handpicked by Phil Sherman, the vigilante called NighTrain.  Before joining the team, Jules was already fighting evil creatures of the magical world on her own.

It's never been established how Jules became a paranormal hunter, or what she did before this career.  It has been established that Jules is addicted to danger.  She often dives into a situation knowing that she could be killed.  This recklessness has often brought her at odds with her team leader.  At one point she was even forced off the team, though she has recently rejoined.

Jules is a martial artist, and has a vast knowledge of the various types of paranormal creatures, and how to stop them.  She has the instincts of a hunter.  She is an excellent tracker and has demonstrated keen detective skills.

Comments:

Just as the Champions are all based on people from my time in Civil Air Patrol and the Heroes of the People are inspired by folks from my college mock trial team, the members of NighTorce are all inspired by a real life paranormal investigation team that I have been affiliated with.
