Copied from 7's bio: "#7 is the seventh member of a 9 person unit, the Garrison, all of them were engineered and trained to be weapons, designed to work as a single unit, each of them with a general set of skills, and then a more targeted skill set, a set of Specifics. Some of them were bred and born specifically for the group, others (like Lucy) were handed over by their parents for an exorbitant amount of money.
A group of nine super-humans, designed as an elite fighting force meant to perform a precise surgical strike for whoever could pay the most.
That was the plan, anyway, but as they grew, the Garrison soon came to understand that their orders, their very design, was flawed. And so they planned their escape. Planned and executed with the precision they were trained for. After that they split up, took up aliases and tried to reintegrate themselves into society. Some of them kept in touch with each other, others didn't. #7, now going by Lucy Weaver, was one of the ones who cut ties.
Aside from the same stronger, faster, more agile skill set that all the Garrison have, her Specifics include the ability to alter time for short periods, speeding it up or slowing it down, and precognitive dreams (and occasionally waking visions, along with a massive headache) She also has the ability to see the odds, trajectories and angles, which makes her able to move through a fight almost unscathed, simply by being where other people and weapons aren't. This makes her an excellent strategist, which was her place in the team of nine.
She was sixteen when they escaped, and in the five years since she's made her way in the world, mostly through a series of odd jobs and short careers. Mostly she just wants to find the others, band together, and fight what's coming, she's tired of being a weapon, which is why she's kept herself hidden and away from any of the others for this long, hoping that she could keep them safe, but she knows a war is coming and that they'll all be brought into it one way or another."
As far as the Garrison goes, I don't think they were formed by any particular government, but possibly funded by government ties, something along the lines of Dark Angel and the Transgenics, or Maximum Ride and the bird-kids, or Rob Thurman's Chimera series (I fully admit that this is the one it's closest to, because I've just read the book) but there are other canonical sources that it's close to I'm sure, it's not a new idea. I know that there are an odd number of people in the team so that if anything ever comes to a vote (instead of everyone agreeing on the plan of action) it's so that there can't be a tie.
When they went their separate ways Lucy picked her name because 'Lucky' isn't really a girl's name, and 'Weaver' is because she can see the weave of the odds and trajectories etc. I suspect that the others picked their names similarly.
Some ideas for other necessary members of a team: Communications (maybe a telepath?) Weapons specialist (they've all had weapons training, but someone with additional training or weapon instincts, probably) Medic (healing powers!) Infiltration (they're all designed as spies/assassins, but a shapeshifter or a linguist as a first-line contact couldn't hurt) Driver/pilot, someone with mechanical expertise Information officer (someone with perfect photographic memory or something like it?) Anything else you think might fit, just throw it at me!
