Biography[]
Felix Faust nearly leveled The town of Pleasant Hill by summoning a rampaging balrog into the town square. Spread thin it the aftermath of coordinated attacks all around the globe, Earth’s super teams weren't able to respond; the balrog overpowered Faust and continued its rampage. Detective Chimp rushed out as soon as he heard. Chimp spent hours ducking round the behemoth marking it with runes of sealing; until balrog dissolved into smoke and ash leaving behind a soot covered toddler. To his horror, Detective Chimp realized the little girl was the balrog.
With the girl crying and no parents in sight, Detective Chimp decided to take her in a protect her from government clean-up teams.Chimp took Calista to Nanda Parbat where he discovered she had the ability to project flames from her hands; he decided to take her on and help her develop her abilities. During a particularly vigorous training session, Calista transformed again into Hazhazh, the Balrog.
Over the next couple of years, Detective Chimp focused training Calista on controlling the beast trapped in her. One night Chimp left the sanctuary to investigate a disturbance in the mystic plane, and he didn’t return. After 48 hours, as part of Detective Chimp’s instructions, Calista grabbed her bug-out bag and left for Pleasant Hill.
Personality[]
Calista learned in her training that she needed to protect her emotions; she is guarded in her interaction with people she doesn’t know.
Knowing about her darkside didn’t help calm Calista like Detective Chimp expected; instead she feels the weight of guilt for what Hazhazh did, and it makes her volatile.

Complications[]
Relationship: Detective Chimp is the only family Calista has ever known; Now that he is missing Darkfire will do anything to find him.
Unstable: Anywhere Calista goes Hazhazh is also there lurking inside; If Calista gets scared, loses her temper, or overstresses her powers Hazhazh could erupt out and wreak havoc again.
Acceptance: Calista feels isolated because of the lengths she goes to contain Hazhazh and does good to gain the trust and acceptance of others. Calista sees her powers as more of a curse than a blessing.
