Faith Connors

Intro Faith was born into a family of 4, growing close to her mother, Erika, while Kate grew close to their father. Faith’s parents were protesters against the rise of the new regime that was seeping into The City. With her father providing funds and leadership to the Libertas movement, her parents brought their children to the November Riots where Erika was crushed to death as others sought to escape. After her mother’s death, her father became depressed due to guilt to the point of alcoholism. At the age of 16, Faith left her father and Kate, presumably through a window at night, to live on the streets. Gradually resorting to petty thievery to survive she began robbing homes, including Mercury's Hideout. Catching her in the act, Mercury took her under his wing and trained her to work for him as a Runner. Fresh from being out of action and fully healed, Faith spends some time retraining with Celeste Wilson, another Runner and friend, before being put back on active duty. During her first run however she encounters some overzealous City Protection Force who, unprovoked, open fire on her and actively pursue her through the city until she manages to lose them by hitching a ride on a City Eye helicopter. Laying low in Mercury’s hideout while Mercury asked around about why the Blues were being so aggressive, Faith overheard CPF radio chatter from her sister, Kate Connors, who was reporting in to conduct a follow-up check with Robert Pope about a series of break-ins that occurred the week previous. However some time later further CPF chatter announced the reporting of gunshots from the area and Faith, concerned for her sister’s safety, rushed to the scene to discover her sister next to the body of Robert Pope. Certain that her sister was being set up for Pope’s murder, Faith took a piece of evidence from Pope’s desk, and escaped the Blue forces to begin an investigation into proving Kate’s innocence.
