[They haven't been in much of anything, though their teammate Page was featured drinking coffee here. (Note to Luke Cage fans: actually drinking actual coffee.)]
Identical twins with no tragic backstory, the two are nigh inseparable. When they stumbled into the super-life in their teens they found that they took to it naturally. The fact they'd both been taking karate classes for a decade helped, so did the fact they'd been taking ballet classes for even longer.
By this time teen teams were well established, and so they were placed with three other locals of about the same age, supplied with resources to reduce the likelihood of serious injury, and given guidance when required.
One of their members, who was quickly elected leader, had already chosen his hero-name of “Paladin ”. Errant and Erratic looked for names that would match, and when Erratic learned that “Knight Erratic” was an actual term (meaning the same thing as “Knight Errant”) their names were decided.
The other two members of the team, Squire and Page, followed suit in choosing knightly names. What began as a teen team has remained even after they aged into adulthood. They defend their city and have no global aspirations.
Errant tends to be more conventional and more likely to stick to set rules and procedures, however he also lets his sister lead. She proudly chose the name “Erratic” for herself.
Errant defaults to an unemotional serious, Erratic to laid back fun, but both have the problem that slights they'd ignore when directed at themselves will set them off when directed at someone they care about.
The most extreme example of this is if someone claims that Errant is not a “real” man due to his biology. Errant will take the insult without comment. Erratic will be enraged. Often a quiet but extremely dangerous rage. It should be noted that Errant doesn't think Erratic is over-reacting. If the situation were reversed he'd feel the exact same way.
Squire can generally talk Erratic down, and --even if she doesn't-- Paladin is the leader. He tends to be extremely lackluster in ordering Erratic to show restraint in such situations, but he does order it none the less.
Errant is straight guy.
Erratic is an omni-flirtatious asexual aromantic woman.
I, uh, haven't figured out their race or ethnicity yet.
