Description:
Aria is a petite woman whose size seems deceptive when she puts on her Diva identity, which gives way to very large and charismatic stage personality. She carries herself like an iconic 80's style rock star. She always remains armed with her electric guitar, which she uses as the focus for many of her powers. When not in costume, she wears simple colors and natural materials. She is an outspoken vegan and practices meditation and yoga on a regular basis.
BACKGROUND
Aria Wilson was a talent child born into a legacy of entertainment. Her father owned a powerful entertainment agency and her mother was the infamous Nancy Wilson of Heart. Aria grew up around rock and roll, and wanted to be as successful and famous as her mother and aunt. She practiced constantly and many would say that throughout her childhood and adult life, she was obsessed with her music. Aria showed herself to be technically superior in every way to her more famous aunts, which is part of what drove her mad when she would perform and she would get compared to them, with reviewers writing that she would "one day reach the heights of her musical progenitors". Additionally infuriating her were the detractors that claimed that her success was handed to her not because of her talent, but because of her famous parentage.

Then Fate struck an even crueler blow and she was diagnosed with a long-term degeneration of the bones of the inner ear. She would eventually go completely deaf. Aria drove herself even harder and while she scored several great hits and even hit number one song, she could not attain the legendary status she sought. She would repeatedly fire producers and band members because she felt their shortcomings were holding her back. She turned to drugs and alcohol to cope, but never stopped driving herself musically. Her obsession eventually led her to the equally obsessed Dr. Felix Brauns, who promised her that he could restore her hearing. What he granted her, though, was a Q-implant that brought her to the brink of madness and instability. Braun was seeking to create a Quasar he could control and use her money and power for his benefit, but Aria turned on him and killed him, stealing all of his research and technology.

For years, Aria operated as the sociopathic Doomsong. She hired scientist after scientist to help her create new sound-based technologies to augment her weak sonic abilities. She would attack other Quasars at key public appearances, seeking to upstage other Quasars, villain and hero alike. She wanted to become the superstar she believed she should be. A well-financed legal team kept her from facing consequences for the charges brought against her, so she became an underground legend, beating the system at its own game. Eventually, Team Daedalus captured her and Dr. Anson's referral to Dr. Xavier Brooks led to her restoration and breakthrough.

Dr. Brooks discovered that the Q-implant designed to restore her hearing was actually disrupting her brain in such a way that she had lost all sense of inhibition. He also posed that the implant was intentionally designed to do this, part of the sinister intent by the late Dr. Braun. A simple operation to restore the Q-implant to its proper configuration brought Aria’s powers to Omega level, but also exposed Aria to the light of sanity, and to the crushing horror of what evil she had done as a villainous Doomsong.

Aria sought counselling and spiritual release to calm her soul, but what she finally came to realize was that she needed to make amends for the evil she had committed. She approached Dr. Brooks and he offered her an unusual opportunity -- to join Team Icarus and use her powers for the greater good. He removed the inhibitors in her implant and helped her design a new guitar for use in combat, allowing her to fully realize her new sonic sensory abilities. Aria has since become a loyal and supportive team member -- and in spite of the critical articles calling her redemption a "ploy and a scam by the ultimate narcissist", she has remained true to her cause. Aria understands now that the music is for the people, and the powers granted to her by the Q-implant are no different than her talents with her guitar or her voice -- that the mission is to make the lives of others better, in whatever way she can. She hopes to do this by working with Team Icarus.

Aria was once a member of the Cobras de Saphir team, a positively received Nequality Gang, at least until the Biskra Incursion where 184 people were injured or wounded outside of a protest. Aria's charges in her criminal record have either been dismissed or are under investigation. Aria's lawyers have done a great job of keeping her out of legal trouble, in spite of her known criminal behaviors. She had even managed to appear with Doomsong at the same time, providing some level of plausible deniability. However, AEGIS Intelligence has a 98% certain that she is guilty of all charges filed against her and even more that have not been filed.
