Legacy

Legacy is a character in BERZERK!. Legacy is part of The Team, a government sponsored group of young heroes that is maintained by Origin.

Early-Life
Uma was born to famous super heroes, Creator and Origin. To her she knew them as Mom and Dad. She spent her early life with nannies to take care of her while her parents were out saving the world. All she ever looked forward to was when she got to see her parents, even for just a brief moment in-between their missions. Her mother, a genius engineer with five PhDs in respective technological fields, was Creator. She built the technology and weapons to be manipulated by her technopathic superhero husband, Origin. Growing up, Uma's parents were always loving, protective and caring. Uma took after her mother the most. By the time she was five, she could program, hack and create tech on the same level as her mother, a child prodigy.

She yearned everyday for super powers to show them. She was in awe of her father as she watched him change the channel of the TV with his mind. Staring at the radio, Uma would summon all her strength to try and turn the volume up and down. But alas, she could never manipulate the tech like her father. Her mother shielded her to the horrors and struggles of heroism. She insisted to her husband that Uma should stay out of the field and never expose herself to danger. However, when Creator was killed during G-Major's shriek episode overseas, Uma's life would change drastically.

Post-Creator's Death
After her mother was killed in a tragic accident on a mission, the world mourned Creator. There were statues erected, books written, and vigils held all over the world. But all of the people’s pain combined paled in comparison to Origin's. Origin had lost his wife and the mother of his child.

After Origin formed a deal with the US government that would allow him to obtain guardianship of young metahumans, and teach them how to control their powers, and use them for militaristic purposes, he became obsessed with making Legacy the greatest superhero in the world, ignoring his wife’s previous wishes to not make Uma a hero. At age seven, only a few months after Creator's death, Origin began to train with her day and night, sparing with her, throwing her into simulations, and forcing her to develop technology of mass destruction. He renamed her “Legacy,” only calling her by her real name, "Uma" when she was about to be punished or reprimanded. And with this warped view of love, she really did believe her father loved her. But her life would never be the same after her mother was gone.

Joining The Team
Because she had no super abilities, and because her father was insistent on training her himself, Legacy wasn’t allowed to meet any of the other team members, had a very different schedule than the rest of the team. But once trials were beginning to attempt to pair groups of kids into teams, Legacy first met Pop. Pop was the first friend Legacy ever had. Pop and Legacy laughed together, fought together and cried together. Because Legacy was the best person to calm Pop in a crisis, they were paired together in every group mission. When Legacy met her current team, she was reluctant about Tender, but she trusted Sermon and Hortus. Of all the teams she had been assigned, this one was her favorite. They weren’t perfect by any means, and Origin made that very clear to them every time they messed up. Any group with Legacy in it got the worst punishments for their mistakes. But they were the only group that never blamed that on her. They’ve been on many training simulation missions now and have yet to get out of one successfully.
