Biography

- Maya Lopez was born on the Tohono O'odham reservation in southwestern Arizona. At a young age, her father, Willie "Crazy Horse" Lincon took Maya from her mother and relocated to Hell's Kitchen, New York.

- Born deaf, her father began working for the mob to provide the extra funds needed for her specialty schooling. It was identified early that Maya was 'gifted', finding it easy to reproduce skills of older students as early as pre-school.

- Maya's father was ordered murdered by a high ranking mob boss. Hiding in her room at the time of the shooting, her father's last ack was to reach for her face, leaving a bloody handprint in its place.

- Maya was taken in by an influential crime figure. With the courts in his pocket, he sent Maya to the best schools money could buy. Maya received a Class-A education at a boarding school for girls, and by the time she graduated, she was so talented in dance and in piano, that she was considering auditioning for the Russian Ballet. Instead, she attended three years of college at Empire State.

- The mob, instead, offered Maya grand sums of money and praise to study cell phone footage of various heroes and masked villains. She trained in a penthouse dojo in NYC, practicing their moves, preparing for a plot to be used against the heroes as an assassin.

- Maya was lied to and told that a vigilante against 'the families' killed her father. She began to train to find the responsible party, but in the process of her investigation she learned that the mob had targeted her father in a hit. The resulting firefight and street battle in her escape made the evening news, and soon became silent.

- Under the vigilante identity of 'Echo' (A name selected for her ability to Echo the fighting styles of others), began to stalk the crime syndicates of New York and unknowingly came across a lair for the Hand. After hours spent watching their training and memorizing faces through a camera lens, she was discovered. The Hand failed to capture her, but the chase nearly killed Maya Lopez.

Character Details

Quiet and intuitive. Thoughtful and spiritual. Maya has never known much but silence, and she speaks more with her hands than her mouth, when able. A fire burns within her for the vengeance she seeks for her father's death, but the silence is lined in a thin veil of sadness. Being deaf, as she is, the world is muted in ways that most don't understand, and in result, Maya watches more than she admits.

Photographic Reflexes
Maya was born with the ability to duplicate any physical action, movement, or series of movements with perfection after only seeing it once. There is no given explanation as to why she was born with this ability, and is considered her natural state. This ability can be used to reproduce martial arts fighting styles, forms of dance and other artistic medium, acrobatics, and even learning to read, write, and speak languages by watching others do so.
Expert Pianist
While Maya cannot hear music, she can feel the vibrations through a piano. After watching many virtuoso pianists perform, she has gained the ability to play the piano at a 'Concert Level'
Dancer
Having watched hours of footage, Maya is an excellent dancer in many dances, ranging from club dance, to ballroom dancing, to ballet.
Martial Artist
Maya has worked her way through the greats: Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Donnie Yen, and has studied instructional video from a wide range of martial arts sources. She's watched tape of many heroes and famous villains, as well as witnessed the Hand in training. Because of this, her capacity for the martial arts is at a Master Level, but is also highly adaptable due to the assortment of styles she has in her repertoire.
Master Acrobat
Maya has studied parkour, obstacle course running, field gymnastics, and acrobatics. After watching promotional videos and performances by some of the 'greats', she has stolen their skillset, and is a Master Level acrobat.
Marksmanship
Maya specializes in the use of firearms and throwing weapons, after watching tape of multiple assassins at work. She's an expert sharpshooter and has topped out her human ability to throw with accuracy.
Multilingual
Maya has gathered a wide array of languages from around the world after watching news broadcasts, videos, and long afternoons spent in foreign restaurants. She can understand people by reading their lips and the movement of their tongues, and can speak over twenty languages…and the number is growing the farther she travels in the world.
Weapons Training
After watching tapes from martial artists, actors, various heroes, and criminal organizations, Maya has become quite dangerous with any kind of weapon she's seen used with expertise before. Her personal favorites are clubs and batons(single or double), swords (single or double), knives (single or double), and nunchaku(single…or double). She's comfortable with a weapon in each hand.
Highly Athetlic
Maya is by no means in Olympic shape, but she is in excellent health at the equivalent of a woman her age who regularly engages in intense physical exercise. She's stronger than most women, faster than most women, and has more stamina than most women who do not regularly train.
