Public Criminal Profile
Codename: The Twilight Sisters
Real Names: Unknown
Group Affiliation: Solo Operatives
Current Status: At Large
Distinctive Traits: Black eyes, wrapped in shadowy garments; they do not cast a shadow of their own when in physical form.
Known Background:
The identities of the Twilight Sisters are a mystery, and will likely remain so until such time as they are apprehended. Active only in the past few years, they seem to lack any large-scale ambition, and to date have mostly stuck to robberies and ransom schemes that have some chance of success, often utilizing gangs of low-level criminals in their plans. They have on occasion acted as henchwomen to a more ambitious villain, but have always slipped out before their 'boss' was taken down.
Known Abilities:
The Twilight Sisters are known to be able to assume a shadowy and incorporeal form, in which they are nearly invulnerable to attack and extremely stealthy. Their other abilities verifiably witnessed have been varied but all gone along the same theme, from casting darkness over a room to tangling a foe in strands of solidified shadow. They are known to possess the capability to teleport through shadowy areas as well.
Second-hand reports have suggested that they may also be mystics of some potency, although the details and truth of this are unknown. It may be true, or they may simply be umbrakinetic mutants claiming supernatural powers as part of their mystique. Some of their goons and thugs have claimed to have been 'forced' to obey them due to having their 'shadows stolen'. While the truth of this remains unconfirmed, it is widely considered to simply be a ploy to avoid jail-time.
Non-Public Information
Real Names: Rebecca and Marion Metternich
Background:
Once upon a time, there were a pair of sisters that were born to a witch. They loved one another very much, best of friends as well as siblings, and stuck together through heartbreak and hardship. They seemed inseparable, and so full of joy and life that they seemed destined to happy lives. Then tragedy struck, as one of the girls fell ill — very ill indeed, hospitalized in short order and living only by the care of the machines threaded through her. Even her aging mother's herbal concoctions and minor spells could do little but comfort her in her pain.
The healthy sister fell into a dark mood, and sought high and low for any way to save her sister. She found it, then, in the books locked up in the back of her mother's home, the books chained closed for the safety of others. A ritual was taken forth from them, and late one night in the hospital room, she reached into her catatonic sibling's soul and tore it free of its moorings — anchoring it to her own shadow. The body died that night, but her spirit lingered, and the sisters were reunited happily.
Such black magics are not used lightly, however, and tearing a soul free tends to warp it. The shadow sister whispered dark things into her sibling's ear, and soon their mother died of 'natural causes' late one night, leaving her home and all her wealth to her surviving daughter. She used her newfound powers to steal and gather more books and riches, until at last she could give her sister the one thing she lacked. Flesh. She had naught save her own to offer, however, and thus the two sisters' souls and bodies were rent apart and mingled, until they existed both in a sort of half-state where one could walk in flesh and one in shadow, switching at will.
The world lay before them, with all its pleasures and comforts waiting to be taken. Do as thou wilt became the whole of their law.
