I'll go ahead and toss in La Diablesse as a companion/foil for Demon Trix. Unlike him, she isn't out to 'be promoted' in the demon hierarchy, as she's a bit arrogant about her standing as one of Lilith's 'daughters'.
That doesn't mean she's not out for some recreational corruption - tempting mortals and feeding off their desires is her main form of entertainment as well as her sustenance.
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
I'll throw Lillith into the ring, to be paired with Jackalynn. Lillith hates all the worthless monkeys on this planet and is gathering power to unleash the Winds of Amnesia, which will revert man back to his primate state. The idea of a "perfect" human doesn't exist in her mind, unless it's a dead one, so it could be a possible battle scene, Lillith trying to stop the mammals from overpopulating the planet with a harder to kill species. Survival of the fittest 
Count me in again. Anyone from the Heriverse is fine, but if forced I think I'd go with Lady Hericane. With her fixation on being obsessive on intelligence gathering and wanting info on people/places/things, she'd naturally take an interest in Gray as she stays under the radar. Plus with Gray's means of getting the job done Lady would take notice of this as she does when Herricane and/or Heracane dispenses justice as they see fit in a similar manner. In a nutshell Gray would end up on a watchlist of some kind that Lady continually keeps track of.

I wouldn't mind seeing Midnight-Man teamed up with Gray Huntress!
He's a dark, brooding Batman-type that uses the jewel in his belt to tap into the Nether Realm for his dark melee powers.

Mwahahaha...
No, I won't enter again. If I did happen to win I'd feel pretty bad, gl to everyone!
I volunteer Texas death toll with Jackalynn
and I'll also chuck my name in the hat as an artist
Why split up the Slurpee Machine team? Turkey Lurkey and Gray Huntress.

I'll throw in Lady Fade to be paired with Demon Trix.
Some Images:
Lady Fade
Up close and personal.
Follow through, not just for sports!
Strike a pose!
Lady Fade (Lvl 50 MA/Regen Scrapper, Virtue) was born on Praetorian Earth, and recruited by Marauder at a young age. A good person by nature, her rise to the rank of Destroyer was predicated by need rather than desire. Her fierce reputation protected her as well as any of her deadly martial arts techniques.
A foray into this earth was disrupted by heroes, and Lady Fade made her escape. She hid for weeks until she realized Marauder was not persuing her. Witnessing daily acts of heroism and kindness, she resolved to make up for the wrongs she'd done in the past.
She's my second oldest character, second to 50, and to this day has my all-time favourite costume.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
Entering Blitzwolf.
Though a technically villain (for now, come 'Going Rogue' and we'll see), she is more the mercenary type, and I think she could work with Gray Huntress, depending on the goals. I am sure they'd get along quite well in some old fashioned facist smashing.
Blitzwolf is a Huntsman on first build, Bane on secondary. She is a mercenary though, and her time with Arachnos was fairly brief. She was born in 1940, though appearing not older then early 20, she has been around the a while, working for various Organizations from Arachnos to Vanguard, and Longbow.
It is rumored her father was an Oberst in the 5th Column, and she's a product of one of the early Übersoldier projects. Which could explain her relentless hatred and killing of anything Nazi related.
Completely random drawing, huh? Oh what the heck, I'll bite. I'll try again for a pic with Gray Huntress for Jade Blackwind. Apart from the 2 or 3 thumbnails on that page, I don't really have any references for him, since thus far headshots are all I've gotten. Well, at least I do have a full one of his dad at the bottom of that page. He's got pretty much the same build - just with the robotic body now instead of a fleshy one.

I need to remember to make a reference shot when I get home. Done.
I figure that a dual Archery attack with my main Angel Red, and the contrast of her white outfit with Grey Huntress' darker attire, would work well.
I'll toss in VexXxa again. And I do believe she would like to be posed with Demon Trix. VexXxa is a young and tiny fire/therm who is sarcastic and witty at times. If she is quiet, you know she is up to no good!
There are a couple of screenies of her attached to my signature. If you need more info on her costume, she is wearing the witch thigh high boot and the witch lace bottom.

Okay I know I'm new here but I've tried to get into a couple of the free art threads (only to have them fall off the face of the planet 
and with a wife who was recently diagnosed with MS the money is too tight to buy any....yet)
But here is Crescent Blade for your perusal.
Quick bio: Crescent is a young teenager that watched way too many kung-fu movies (Black Belt Jones and the Last Dragon, I'm looking at you!). His interest started when his grandfather passed away and left him two golden crescent shaped swords. He pretended to be every hero in the old kung-fu movies he and his grandfather watched. When he turned 16 he decided he was going to help take back the streets of his home in memory of his grandfather. All he has at his heroic disposal are his blades and the willpower to take down evil.
I think he'd be great in a pic with Jackalynn since he is such a young hero, I could see her easily manipulating him.... 
Crescent Blade is very old school cool.
Hmm, only one artist has stepped up to the bar? Strange that, those are some impressive odds XD

Thanks! He is one of my favorite looking toons lately. I really wanted to go with what would a teenage kid make for a costume. The shoulder pads are modified football pads - well in my head anyway. 
OK, I'm totally entering the Shrike to pair up with Gray Huntress, because I dig GH and would love to see the two of them together.

Burnt Matchstick would be interesting with Demon Trix.
I'm just bringing this up again because the deadline is coming up in 8 days. Again, both artist and appreciator can volunteer. I'll also be knocking on some dA doors to see if other artist's would also be interested.
Ooo - I hope you pick me!
I'm throwin' Lace atcha for Gray. Everyone loves Lace, but she's always up for an archery challenge. *grinz*
I've got a render in my DA link below, but can get a screenie or two of her from the game if needed.
One of these times, I might volunteer as the artist.

Thanks for this, very cool thing to do!
Just to let you know, the drawing of names will be tomorrow. Fortunately, you can still slip in past midnight because I don't consider it the next day until I fall asleep and wake up. So even if I'm awake at 3 am...it's not the next day until I wake up at noon or something.
Can I enter both as artist and character? Not me as the character, I mean, but one of my characters.
Most certainly!
The Second Round of the D.R.A.T., the Double Random Art Tossup!!!
The winners of the last D.R.A.T. were Flame Enchantress for the character and Wassy for the artist. Currently, Wassy has entered the penciling stage and I look forward to how it turns out!
How does it work again?
It is your chance to have a custom-made commission featuring your character without lifting a finger or paying a dime.
1) Basically, all you have to do is provide your name and references for the character you want to have rendered in a duo piece with Gray Huntress, Jackalynn, or a third new character, Demon Trix (you decide who you would prefer in your post)! Easy as that.
2) The next step would be to wait until 7-10-09, because that's the deadline.
3) The Double Random comes from the mystery artist...I don't even know who it is because I'm leaving it to the great talented men and women in these forums to volunteer to do the commission. Don't worry, I'm paying you for the duo commission at your standard price.
4) 7-10-09: I will randomly draw among the entries for both the character and the artist. I'll bring the news to the forums, then its all business from there.
5) If you entered a character during the last D.R.A.T. or volunteered to enter as an artist, be sure to repost in this thread if you want to join, or you could enter a new character altogether.
6) Previous winners can enter again if they so choose, since its really a gamble for everyone.
Hehe, the more the merrier!
----------------------------------------
Heres the biography info for Gray Huntress, Jackalynn, and Demon Trix to help you decide who you would prefer posing with. If you want to see what the two lovely ladies look like then just follow the link to my DA page in my siggy. At the moment, Demon Trix has yet to be featured in any of my commissions:
Gray Huntress
Age: 34
Archetype: Archery/Devices/Force Mastery Blaster
Personality: Gray sometimes seems cocky, blunt, and volumes could be read behind her words that often carry double meanings. She approaches battle like a wolf playing with its prey; she is confident victory is already assured. The Huntress often goes ahead full force and demeans her peers when they hold back. She is a vigilante, not a hero or villain, so she chooses the side that suits her 'better' judgment.
Bio: Gray Huntress, or Apollonia "Polina" Fanakov, was born in Grozny, Chechnya to a former Honduran bounty hunter, Mist Arrow, and a father she never met, Dr. Ivan Fanakov, a famous missing Russian geneticist. Polinas mother tried to raise her as best as she could, but the latter part of Mist Arrows life and Grays entire childhood focused on finding her missing father.
Her mother began training her to follow in her footsteps as soon as she could draw a bow and tried to instill a sense of duty to the man she never knew. The world knew Fanakov as a brilliant scientist that was pushing the bounds of the human genome, and that he mysteriously vanished from the world without a trace in 1975. Nine months after his disappearance, Mist Arrow launched her unfinished crusade to find the man she loved; a man who also saved her from the clutches of the Council. This crusade led to Paragon City.
As Gray grew into her teenage years, she thought this was a fools quest and had frequent disagreements with her mother. Their key conflict was their different approaches to pursuing the Council. Mist Arrow believed that the men should be arrested, interrogated, and sent to Zig for their crimes; Gray Huntress believed that lethal force was necessary to deal with them and was just punishment enough. If they lived to see another day, then they could still potentially escape and put a bullet in your back later; a problem easily solved early. But this created an irreparable rift between mother and daughter, and, in rebellion, Gray left her mother to her doomed crusade for her homeland, Russia.
In 1993, she was one of the founding members of the Valiant Defenders of the Motherland, the first independent Russian Hero Organization. She was a huge hit among the Russian youth, but broke many young conservative mens hearts when she was one of the few heroes to openly come out as bisexual. Gray was the only natural human on the team and yet she was also the most wild, performing daring, near-suicidal stunts with remarkable success without recognition of her mortality. She basked in the fame and controversy surrounding her, but harsh reality struck her hard during the first Rikti War. While she admirably did her part in the war, back in Paragon City Mist Arrow met her untimely demise. She was on the team of heroes responsible for taking down the Rikti Mothership which crashed in the zone now known as the Rikti War Zone. Live footage was taken of her final moments as she hung on for dear life atop the plummeting ship, apparently caught under some debris. News of her mothers death immediately prompted Gray to leave the Valiant Defenders and return to Paragon.
She avoids the spotlight in Paragon City and hasnt officially been on the news for some time, since she doesnt want to bring too much attention to her questionable methods; something frowned upon by most heroes. Even though she doesnt believe her father is even alive, she continues her mothers search to honor her life. Polina isnt afraid to jump into the area where justice is gray, and perhaps shell be able to uncover the fate of Dr. Fanakov, letting her mothers spirit rest.
---------------------------------------------------------
Jackalynn
Age: 34
Archetype: Gravity Control/Energy Assault Dominator; thats the closest archetype that could fit into Jackalynns concept as a telekinetic. All her abilities are through the use of invisible force; her will is exhibited through the reactions to her powers rather than the actions.
Personality: Codename Jackalynn is everything Gray Huntress could have been if her mother, Mist Arrow and Dr. Fanakov hadnt kidnapped her from the Council test laboratories in Sicily in 1975. She is arrogant, manipulative, power-hungry, and super-powered. Though she shares Grays lethality, Jackalynn lacks her better sisters control over who deserves to die and who just dies.
Background: Jackalynn is the primary specimen and leader of the Councils Project: Legion; a project that spawned literally hundreds of clones based off of Mist Arrows DNA. Gray Huntress is still labeled by the Council as the Perfect Specimen, because they altered her genetic code to be perfectly human in every way, shape, and form and thus the best platform for them to create a customized super-hero from scratch. The Huntress was abducted from the Project before any experiments could be performed, so Jackalynn was the next best subject.
While Gray theoretically could have held virtually unlimited power, the scientists had to choose carefully on what to do with Jackalynn; their final decision was to alter her psyche to allow her to perform advanced feats of telekinesis, because technically, with enough finesse, Jackalynn could do almost anything she could focus her mind on.
She was raised from childhood along with four other sister clones to lead the Legion: Pyrefox, a highly temperamental and ambitious pyrokinetic; Dhole Pack, a docile, but insane, telepath and controller; Hounder, a formidable blade-wielder gifted with foresight; and Spirit Coyote, physically comatose, but her psionic ability of astral projection allows her to interact with the physical realm without the fear of death. Meanwhile, the Legion were hundreds of lesser clones that were labeled as Thralls. They are capable of independent thought and action just as any person, but the five leaders all share the ability to wrest control over their actions from them at a moments notice to serve as footsoldiers for their own goals. Each leader has been trained to be capable of controlling the whole Legion with minor concentration, minus control over the other four and Gray naturally.
Project: Legion was officially activated two years ago when an insider tip from the Council led Gray Huntress to their base of operations. Overcome with the horror of realizing her own identity was a lie, Gray was nearly defeated by Jackalynn in combat; fortunately the rest of her team arrived to save her. Today, the Legion functions as an independent shadow organization within the Council known only to the Center and his inner circle. Jackalynn has the liberty to lead her team to whatever ends she deems necessary, or desirable; though she still performs delicate operations for her superiors when they require her services.
She loves power and exhibits her own as much for show as for purpose; she would be more likely to tear a ten-ton gargoyle off a building to use as a weapon, when telekinetically manipulating a crowbar would be just as effective. And Jackalynn seeks possible ways to magnify her abilities even more at whatever cost, as long as its not too personal.
--------------------------------
Demon Trix
Age: Apparently 25
Archetype: Mind Control/Energy Assault Dominator. Using imaginative liberty, Demon Trixs energy blasts are not red; in fact theyre white light energy. In this instance, his powers show that light does not stereotypically mean the power of all that is good and holy.
Personality: Demon Trix views the mortals of the physical realm as pawns and treats them with a combination of arrogance and playfulness, supporting his views that they merely serve as his pawns. However, he can easily slip into sullen obedience when he remembers that he is merely a servant (cannon fodder even) to his superiors in the demonic hierarchy. He ambitiously aims to ascend that hierarchy to eventually become a demon prince in his own right but that is a long battle ahead of him.
Background: Demon Trix exists physically in the mortal realm and cannot be banished by traditional means; only commanding him with his true name can accomplish that. At the moment, he is a lowly imp; a servant demon who bargains for the souls of the living and aids them in their descent into evil. His power is far from inferior as he is a true demon, not just some temporary manifestation and he plans to do whatever is necessary to ascend to the next level: incubus.
He was summoned by the Circle of Thorns in Paragon City and was going to be bound in their eternal service for pulling him fully through the Netherworld, but, as luck would have it, heroes arrived on the scene and defeated the Circle and nullified his part of the contract. While he was taken captive by mystics and imprisoned in Zig (not after a good fight however), he patiently awaited the time of his release he had all the time in the world after all.
Arachnos eventually set him free not intentionally, and he has been slowly gaining power within the Rogue Isles. Demon Trix performs kidnappings, assassinations, manipulations, and other specialty jobs in exchange for souls either paid by the contractor or the victims who get in his way. Trix uses the souls earned as down-payments for ascension, or to use as tools for his own ends.
This demon spends his past-time indulging in the corruption of the weak, taking pleasure in the flesh, and crushing the valiant defenders of truth, justice, blah blah, and all that other junk. He also enjoys candlelight dinners and midnight walks along the beaches of Talos.
