History:
((This needs to be updated))
The Dedovics:
In Russia, The Dedovic name is equaled to that of riches and power. The Dedovics have been a very Influential name to all of Moscow. In the limelight, The Dedovics are known for their community service, donations to the Russian community business, Contributions to the school system, etc. But what no one knows is that The Dedovics operate as an underground Crime Syndicate. Like their aboveground counterparts, Crime Syndicate holds Moscow under an Iron fist.
Goran Dedovic operates as the Leader of this crime syndicate. Upon introducing his Children to the family business, he made sure each of them received the finest training in combat to form the perfect group of assassins. While each of his children were adequately trained in the use of Daggers, Shuriken, Weaponry, each of his three children specialized in one particular category. His eldest daughter, Aleksandra, was trained to use all Projectile weaponry with precise efficency. His eldest twin son, Oleg, can take down an enemy with any blade. Oleysa, his youngest twin daughter, was trained in nearly several martial art forms. She can take down any foe given enough time.
Oleysa earned the name O.W.L. from the way she left opponents as the "Only Woman Living". Oleysa would later on adapt the stealth and predetorial characteristics of her namesake.
The Big Exposure:
A secret operative named Stepan Zerov was successful in infiltrating the Dedovic's Crime Syndicate. Stepan operated undercover under the name Sacha Danilova as the leader of a crime syndicate known as the "Swans". Sacha Danilova was also a rich bachelor in the limelight. Goran noticed potential in the newest crime syndicate to hit the scene. Goran decided that he wanted the two crime syndicates to consolidate into one large crime syndicate. As a piece offering to the "Swans", Goran offered Stepan Zerov Oleysa's hand in marriage.
The marriage of Sacha Danilova to Oleysa Dedovic was a highly publiscized event, even boasting live feed to all the citizens of Moscow. The marriage was said to be the second most publiscized wedding in history. Unfortunately, this was a bad Idea. The wedding led to the apprehension of all the Dedovics, and even some Crimebosses ony there for the wedding. It was exposed to all of Russia that the Dedovics were more than what met the eye.
The Escape:
Goran was able to pull some strings(And mostly bribery) and have the Police Department release him and one of his children. The other two would have to stay, and be subject to Daily Beatings, Torture, Cruel Treatment, Etc. Goran, torn between having to choose between his children, chose Aleksandra, his eldest.
Oleysa and Oleg were left to rot in prison. They were beat daily, tortured, and then beat again. Oleysa was able to hold her ground, being trained in hand-to-hand combat... however, Oleg was not able to hold up so well. Finally, Oleg and Oleysa staged an escape. Oleysa was able to escape, though her brother could not move as fast as his sister. She was able to free to America, while he had to stay in Moscow.
The New Life:
Upon hearing about his daughter's escape, Goran had his daughter located promptly. After pulling more strings(And A LOT more bribing) he had Oleysa assigned a new Identity as Olivia Talone. He purchased property for her in some place called "Perez Park" and sends her money all the time. She has allianced herself with some of Paragon's greatest heroes, the supergroup known as "The Icons".
How Taloned Owl balances a life of professional thievery and heroics with The Icons is beyond anyones guess
While out on patrol, Taloned Owl saves a young heroine calling herself Psionic Gypsy from the cult, Circle of Thorns. After discovering that the young heroine is Orphaned, Taloned Owl takes her in and pays for her schooling.
The Noct'urni
Since the breakout, Olivia has learned a thing or two about crime. After taking a much needed sabbatical, and doing some more training. She concluded that the life of crime was not for her. But instead of quitting altogether, she seeks to use her adept fighting skills in a way which may benefit the world.
After four months in Paragon, Olivia discovered that an underground civilization, The Noct'urni, entered a secret war with the Circle of Thorns. The Circle of Thorns were going to use The Noct'urni's Warrior Queen's magic items to open portals to parallel dimensions. Opening the portals would allow vicious aliens of all sorts to make earth a galactic battleground. Olivia decided to get involved. The Noct'urni did fight back the Circle of Thorns, but not without a price. The Warrior Queen had fallen in battle. In honor of the queen and Olivia's aid in the battle, the tribe declared Olivia their Warrior Princess(Since an outsider can not be declared Queen). Olivia now proudly wears the fallen Queen's Magic items: Faith's Wings and Hope's Brooch.
The Sabbatical:
Olivia discovered that the Noct'urni were a people that could open teleportals at their whim, and they arrived in America via a portal from Africa. Olivia decided it was time for a much needed break from the crime fighting in Paragon, so she decided to follow the Noct'urni back to their homeland. Proclaimed as The Warrior Princess of the Noct'urni, Olivia decided that the time has come for her to learn about her newfound power. She wanted to honor the fallen Warrior Queen as much as possible.
Once Olivia arrived in Africa, she learned of a decendant of the fallen Warrior Queen named Zuri. Young Zuri was to take her place as the rightful Warrior Queen, but due to Zuri's mothers death, there was no one adequate enough to train her. It was then Olivia stepped up to the plate, training Zuri to her maximum potential.
The Return:
After her five month dissappearance, Olivia Talone has returned to the states. Only this time, Olivia has returned with out Faith's Wings and Hope's Brooch. She has reverted back to her normal form. No longer does she require the strength and flight of the magic items. She is now back to using her old means of transportation: Talons and grappling hook. Her outfit has reverted back to her normal wear, prior to the incident with the Noct'urni.
