History
Born in a cyberpunk future, the woman known as Wyrd (she refuses to reveal her real name) was left on the doorstep of an orphanage at the age of one and a half. She busted out at the age of seven along with her friend Wyre. They scrounged their way on the streets for nine years before joining a freelance ops team, the YZ Guys (whose members all had the letter Y or Z in their handles). On a mission to steal a pair of mysterious armbands, she put them on, was knocked off a roof, and activated the plaid energy spheres that sent her into the Looniverse.
She found herself standing around a pool along with five other beings, who were quickly scooped up by The Artificer's mechanical ninjas. After escaping a plan to make them his brainwashed minions and defeating him handily, they became the Unlikely Aliens.
