CHILDHOOD
Alana Callahan was born to Adam Callahan and his wife, Samantha Wilson Callahan. Adam was a general of the US Army, and his wife a world-renowned human rights lawyer. It was not infrequent for the two to have clashes on how they viewed things, but each distinctive world view contributed to the one that their daughter would adapt.
From a very early age Alana became a student of tactics and strategies, and had a very strong, very set moral compass. By the time that she was five years old, she had already figured out how to sneak onto any base her father was visiting or stationed at, and she would frequently hold conversations with her mother and her mother's colleagues regarding whichever issue was at stake.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END
Alana Callahan was a student at Huntington Academy when the entire world changed. The Liafador-Pettis deadly duo had taken Spain as their own in a tyrannical rule with no room for anybody to counter them. The United States tactically decided to let them be, but little did they know that to do such would be to sign their own death warrants.
The world turned dark and grey very, very quickly. At least quickly to the outsider's view. For anybody living on the planet at the time, it was a slow buildup, one that went unnoticed until it was too late to do anything to counter it.
While the citizens of Earth had been busy living their lives, Ziccarra and Alexis had been replaced by the 3rd Society, and such was the beginning of the end. They massacred all Liafadors aside from their son, Leonel, who would eventually be the one to kill them.
Any who opposed Ziccarra and Alexis met with an untimely death, and very quickly, the world learned to bow to them as they demanded. While many publicly sided with Ziccarra and Alexis, there were also many who worked behind the scenes to weaken their stranglehold.
Alana Callahan's parents were some of the first to publicly denounce the rule of Alexis and Ziccarra. They were also the first to be publicly executed for doing such. At the tender age of fourteen, Alana watched her parents killed in the most gruesome of manners in a worldwide broadcast. It was a reminder that nobody was in charge, and that nobody would ever outsmart or overpower Alexis and Ziccarra.
That was the day that she decided to join the resistance. Utilizing contacts and avenues of communication that her parents had established and cultivated, Alana was able to come into contact with Leonel Liafador and his resistance.
PROPHET
Behind the scenes Alana worked with the resistance under the codename 'Prophet.' She was their tactician and strategist. While those of the world had been taken over and Synthesized by the 3rd Society, others still willingly chose to work with them. It was these people she targeted, releasing their names and making it easier for refugees and the resistances to function.
All the while, she was keeping track of members of the resistance, coordinating, plotting their movements, and communicating between the two key resistances: that led by Leonel 'Azure Son' Liafador, and the other led by Quintus and Ashley Knightfall.
On occasion, Alana would accompany task forces into the field for myriad missions. If her contact information was needed to gain entrance to a certain area, if she were needed to smooth the way, or if her particular talents were needed.
Alana Callahan was not a baseline human. She had a unique telekinetic ability to create personal telekinetic forcefields. On particularly dangerous missions, she would be dispatched along with the team, and if things got bad enough, she would be able to shield people within a thirty foot radius.
CULLING OF THE POPULATION
It was unknown to the population of the world that the 3rd Society was responsible for the mass genocides taking place on their planet, and that Alexis and Ziccarra were not actually in control of themselves. What the population did know is that key figures from their time were turning against them, and billions of people had been killed off.
Nobody was entirely sure what the end game was, but as of Alana's 23rd year of life Earth's population has been diminished to 150,000 people. Agents of the 3rd Society have herded what is left of humanity into several key locations in order to better keep tabs on them. To prevent migration out of these key areas (New York City, Paris, Australia, Hong Kong), essentially the entirety of the Earth has been razed, burned, and the grounds salted.
Humanity was tinkering on the brink of extinction and the remaining citizens in full control of themselves were doing what they could to stave off the inevitable for as long as possible. That included rebellion squads running missions outside of the designated zones in an attempt to utilize their shielding technology and find a land that may be sustainable. The ultimate goal was to be able to develop and cultivate a shielded civilization. But first that required finding sustainable and usable land, something which is a rare commodity.
LEONEL LIAFADOR - LIFE, LOVE, DEPARTURE
The leader of the Liafador resistance was the one and only Azure Son. The first to pay witness to the gruesomely macabre nature of his parents at the mere age of six, he knew better than anybody else just what Reality M's Ziccarra Liafador and Alexis Pettis were capable of.
Through the years, he and Alana had become best friends, and from there, they had developed a romantic relationship forged in the fires of what was essentially hell. They understood one another in ways that were rare, and provided a balance to each other's lives. Alana is the only person who is capable of instinctively calming Leo, and of providing him with a different outlook on things. She has a unique ability to pull back his rage, and instead allow his higher thought to take over from instinctive anger. Neither functions to their fullest potential without the other.
When both were 21 years old, Leo departed from Reality M. His intent was to venture into a universe that was similar to their's, but hadn't had the departure from normalcy that the 3rd Society wreaked upon Reality M. Once finding such a universe, he would train, sharpen his skills, and broaden his powers, eventually returning to Reality M to reclaim it.
THE AFTERMATH
The world was awful when the Azure Son departed it. But it only grew worse from there. It was not his leadership that they couldn't do without. Alana stepped in as Prophet and was able to manage it all from behind the scenes. But without his power and his innate knowledge of certain tactical situations, they suffered in ways that they would not have otherwise.
It was not simply by merit of him not being there, but it was also simply the situation of things growing progressively worse. More and more died in mass executions. Larger and larger areas of the world were stripped of their liveliness and their ability to sustain life. The resistance - both the Liafador and Knightfall factions - was growing desperate.
THE SERUM
After the departure of the Azure Son, the Liafador and Knightfall resistances began to work together much more than they had at any point in the past, eventually reaching a point where they were essentially combined. Quintus, Ashley, and Alana formed a tight friendship, one that was forged under strained times.
Ashley Knightfall was known around the world as the Knightfall Saint. Prior to the decimation of the world she had been a doctor, well known for all of the cost-free work that she did, and regarded around heroic and vigilante communities as a trusted source.
For the past several years she had been working on a gamechanger. The Lazarus Serum was a serum that would grant elevated physical attributes to whoever was injected with it. Specifically: enhanced stamina, endurance, healing, strength, smell, hearing etc.
The world had reached what felt like a point of no return, and as a last ditch effort, Alana volunteered to be injected with the serum. It was regarded as a success, and she exhibited no signs of rejection or other poor reactions to it. The resistance then set its sights on acquiring the equipment and supplies needed to manufacture it in large quantites, a nigh-impossible endeavor, but one they undertook nonetheless.
SABOTAGE
Every time it appeared that they were coming closer to attaining what they needed, they were sabotaged. Missions that should have been foolproof went wrong. Supplies that when they had initially been checked were fine, were suddenly damaged. Locations of supplies that had been tracked down proved to be dead ends. It was just failure after failure, and perhaps the most damaging thing about it was how utterly demoralizing it was.
It forced the resistance to reassess what they were doing. The current game plan clearly wasn't working, and life was fading fast. They could only fight for a better future so long as there were people around to actually live it out. Reality M was a universe that had been designated by all appropriate councils as a dead universe. There were less than 500,000 people across all inhabited planets.
Nobody dared to approach Earth due to what had gone on there, a desolation that had spread around all known worlds.
The resistance ran through all possible scenarios and every route of actiont that they could take. After much discussion, debate, and outright argument, it was determined among the five leaders, of which Alana was included, that they would attempt to send somebody after Leo as an initial scout. After reporting back, they would assess and weigh the possibility of either using CVnU Earth as a training ground, or possibly as an escape.
RIPPED FROM HER WORLD
For almost a year the majority of the resistance's missions were geared to gathering the resources required in order to assemble an interdimensional portal. In addition, they had expended significant resources and personnel on rescue and retrieval missions for anybody left with the specific knowledge needed to create such a thing. Too many of their world's greatest minds had turned, been taken over by the 3rd Society. There were very few left. But they were able to successfully save and recruit them.
They were on a particularly dangerous mission and trying to gather the last genius needed to put together the interdimensional portal that they were attempting to build. A team of seven had been dispatched, all highly trained. Alana was along for coordination as well as defense, considering her tactile telekinesis was particularly suited to missions where they needed to get in and get people out alive, as opposed to get in and kill a bunch of people retrieve an item and leave.
Something went terribly terribly wrong, because things had clearly been going too well for too long. The resistance members on scene, as well as the genius that they were attempting to retrieve from the barren desert of Australia where she had been holed up, were ambushed by people working in willfull collusion with the 3rd Society.
Energy weapons were turned on them as they tried to make the quick dash from the scientist's hidey hole to the covert aircraft that they were using for transportation. Using her tactile telekinesis, Alana was able to shield all on-site as they quickly made their way to the aircraft and prepared to depart. However, she didn't take into account the unique energy signature of the weapons being aimed at them and the steady barrage of energy that was hitting her shields.
She began wavering, her energy draining. Just as she was on the brink of collapse, everything went dark. When she awoke, it was in a world that was not her own. In a particularly ironic set of occurrances, Alana found herself mysteriously transported into the CVnU.
