Physique
Blake is a well-built young man, with a lean but muscular, sinewy body type that he tries to maintain as best as possible. He stands just topping 6 feet tall and weighs 166 pounds. He has somewhat fair skin, but does not sunburn easily at all despite this. He has bright, spiky, fiery-orange ginger hair and noticeably unique crimson red eyes. Blake has several distinct scars, most notably a mostly-healed burn scar on the left side of his neck. He also has a few smaller burn scars on his hands and one on his abdomen, and a cut scar on his knee from something entirely unrelated.

Personality
Blake is a rambunctious young man, a naturally exuberant person that always strives for more action, more heart-pumping, more excitement. He’s naturally courageous and dauntless, fiery as a lit match, and is almost always zestful. Blake is always the first person to recruit to do something intriguing- he often acts as though he has no sense of fear, and he's always open to stepping outside his comfort zone and engaging in something headfirst that he has never done before. Blake's extreme openness may come off as arrogant and show-offy to some, but his intentions are much more impish than that- he's simply a fun-loving person.

Blake is an extroverted, social creature, and he enjoys meeting new people and striking up conversation. Blake doesn't like working solo and enjoys teaming up with other heroes when he goes on missions, rather than going solo. Despite his fiery, headstrong style, Blake is a surprisingly good team player and is willing to listen to others and coordinate attacks and the like.

Blake is a very confident individual, and though it would be a fallacy to call him pompous, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he is a bit of a sore loser. Blake is competitive with other Heroes and likes to show off his talents regularly. Blake is known for going all-in in every fight he partakes in with winning expectations in mind, and isn't above causing a little destruction to achieve his end result. In his mind, winning an immediate fight can often overtake other priorities, and though Blake is very open and real about his emotions and personality, he doesn't truly recognize this all too much.

Blake is inarguably a fiercely protective friend, though, and he goes above and beyond to help other people in need, the reason he became a hero in the first place. While he is known as a gallant, vigilant, and very noble person when the chips are down, always a good friend to talk to, his very destructive power combined with his tendency to showboat can cause significant amounts of damage to his surroundings, specifically buildings, and he is one of the prime culprits of H.E.R.O.'s heavy destruction of property.

Blake, overall, may be a little big for his britches, but he's a fun guy and, more importantly, a nice guy, and while he does step over the line sometimes frequently, he knows the difference between right and wrong and is willing to light up to defend right and defeat wrong. And at the end of the day, that's what counts.

Oh, and the millions of dollars in repair costs. That adds up too.

Backstory
The young Blake Ignatius von Brandt was born in an old family home on Passenger Island. His dad was a detective working high-profile cases such as murder, rape, and other disgusting felony crimes, while his mom stayed at home. Blake was a naturally curious, energetic soul, playing multiple sports and was clearly vibrant from an early age. His family had worked in law enforcement for many years and Blake's dad, Brian Ignatius von Brandt, expected Blake to follow suit. Blake very much respected his father for working in public service but never was able to picture himself as a police officer. He wanted to help people, but he always felt destined for something bigger.

Blake saw his paragon at the age of 12, when a strange Leftover giant dog creature came barreling down the streets of Passenger Island, inflicting great damage in its wake. As the police battled the creature, with no success, Blake watched as H.E.R.O. professional Bonfire leaped down from a rooftop and, using his flaming fists, beat the creature down into submission. Blake found his calling for life that day.

He began to spend hours outdoors, trying to find a hidden power, and when one day at age 14 he managed to light a stick on fire by its own, he knew he was set. He would become a superhero, a fire superhero, just like Bonfire, and he would save people just like Bonfire did that day.

His dad wasn't exactly pleased with the development that his son, instead of joining the respectable police force, would be instead dropping out of school to pursue a career in masquerading around down fighting villains, but he soon came to accept and eventually support his son's decision, especially after his son helped track down a serial killer loose in Passenger Island (talk about father-son bonding.) His dad remains one of his biggest supporters today (and anyway, he's glad now his son did not become something worse, like a criminal, or even worse, a defense attorney.)

Blake filled out his H.E.R.O. paperwork at age 16, and while is psychological assessment had...mixed results, he aced his aptitude assessments and proved to be a capable enough individual to join H.E.R.O. as a full-time hero, a position he still holds today. Though he has caused great damages since and a lot of headaches for firefighters and Restorative Unit agents across the city, it is undeniable that the Firebird has proven to be a powerhouse in taking down crime and villains alike.

Since joining H.E.R.O., Blake has rented an apartment in the East Flank where he lives alone, though he does hang out with others often and visits his parents occasionally as well. Though Bonfire has since retired, Blake managed to get his signature before then and now has a signed poster of Bonfire in his bedroom.

Power: Fahrenheit 1,000

Short Version: Blake makes things burn.

Long Version: Blake is able to rapidly excite air molecules and light them ablaze, in essence allowing him to create and use fire in a fight. Outside of creating fires, Blake also has a limited ability to control the movement of fire, though he is not very capable of manipulating the intensity of a fire, only being able to do so to a small extent, meaning firefighters will have to do so for him.

"Tom's fun. We're close. All cool between us. Lots of memories being dragged into Powers' office together."

Relationship Description
Tom is probably one of Blake's closest friends in H.E.R.O. if not flat-out his best friend in the entire organization. Their mutually fun-loving personalities, disdain for authority, and overall wild attitude towards heroics behinds them together much closer than their differences split them.

Relationship Description
Blake and Brianna have grown fairly close (at least, in his opinion) and since first interacting in the Lucky Cow, the two have participated in all sorts of hi-jinks together, and Blake considers her one of his best friends in HERO. Though they share lots of pleasant memories together, Blake knows next to nothing about her personal life, except that she grew up poor and has a terrible taste in dogs.

"He's pretty chill to hang with, though he needs to liven up a bit."

Relationship Description
Blake would consider himself rather friendly with the water user, and constantly tries to coax out a more wild side from him. The fact that he hangs out with one of his closer friends in HERO also helps out a bit. Though they've had rougher moments, Blake is overall friendly with him. Blake also enjoys sparring him very much, because fire vs. water is a fun time.

Relationship Description
While Blake wouldn't consider himself overly close to Joseph, and while Blake's more rambunctious personality conflicts with Joseph's lackadaisical attitude, they've had a few fun scrapes together and Blake has found that while Joseph is lazy, he does have a wilder side to him that appeals to Blake's own.

"Watch out, your joy is about to be killed!"

Relationship Description
Iit seems unlikely any sort of friendly relationship is starting between them any time soon, because they are literal polar opposites. Blake's teasing antagonism towards Zane is probably not helping this cause. That being said, Blake doesn't harbor any animosity towards him; he just simply finds his presence to be indicative that the fun is about to end.

Tier

Personality
Patricia is often a stoic and unyielding person. She's not necessarily the life of the party. Instead, she's serious and stern. She doesn't even laugh at most jokes, although she has a sense of humor. Her laughs and smiles are rare, but genuine when offered. Although serious, she's not, in general, mean- yes, she can be sarcastic, but she's also genuinely kind. The thought of killing nauseates her, but she has zero qualms when it comes to harming others. She's fairly used to getting what she wants, and she'll occasionally use her power to get it for her. To her acquaintances, she's often seen as cold, but to her friends... well, cold as well, but helpful and sweet on occasion. She works hard to be a good person.

Backstory
His body count was 129. Civilians and heroes, all together. Patricia studied her father's crimes almost obsessively, searching for the common thread in them. Before being arrested and put away forever, he had been an infamous supervillain (and serial killer) by the name of Maestro, with powers that echoed her own. With a bow, violin, and an audience, he could drain the life from his victims. And he did so enthusiastically. He was a monster. A monster that killed 21 heroes across the country, and so many more civilians. A monster that was her father.

Patricia could never understand how her father could have killed, though. She could have understand Maestro. But not Patrick Donnelly. Her father had always been a kind man. He doted on his only daughter, almost fascinated by her. He loved the violin, often performing concerts for his family. They were rather poor, but her mother and father had always fueled her passions. They supported her unabashedly in everything she did- from soccer to ballet to singing. They moved often, almost every year. As a girl, she never felt unloved.

Heroes finally found Maestro when she was 9. They had found out his identity, came to their house, and took him down in the middle of their living room. She didn't understand it- but quickly started to, and was revolted. There were photos all over the news, interviews, news segments dedicated to it. She discovered her own power soon after, and used it to her own benefit often. She'd suggest people to do certain things, and with practice, those suggestions became stronger and stronger. Soon enough, she could convince someone to give her a free coffee or lunch, to get her notebook or her pencil from another table. Still, she was a little revolted by herself. If she could learn to take advantage of others, couldn't she learn to kill, too?

At 17, she finally decided that she couldn't keep sitting back and doing nothing. With her power, she could do so much good. Repair her family name, her own name. So, she went to H.E.R.O, intent on joining. As she predicted, some of the older heroes are wary of her, given her lineage. She pretends not to care, although it does bother her. She's just there to do some good.

Power

Siren's Song- Although Patricia's singing is superb, there is a more important element to her music. Her song imposes a hypnotic effect on its listeners. The effects of her song vary- depending on multiple factors, such as pitch, tone, speed, and even intent. She can't do it with just any song, either. A pop song or rock song wouldn't work for her. She gravitates towards lyric-less vocals and opera songs (although she tends to do more of the former). She could lull someone into sleep, influence their emotions, or make someone more suggestible to commands. She can even hurt people- her voice has the potential to be used in battle. It even has the potential to kill- although she has no wish to use it in this way. The uses for her power are wide and versatile. However, she cannot effect anything but living beings. She could not shout a hole into a wall, or take down a building with her song. She can only affect that which is living. Her voice has normal human limits, as well.

“Brie’s awesome. She’s super supportive, even if she can be so fucking stupid sometimes. I mean, seriously. STOP STEALING CARS! THEY’RE NOT YOURS!”

Relationship Description
Patricia has a lot in common with Brie. More so than a lot of other heroes, certainly. Opening up to her is relatively easy, especially given the fact that they both have supervillains in their families. Also, she’s just a fun person to hang around with in general. But Patricia would be lying if she said there weren’t things that she utterly despised about Brie- like her alcoholism drinking habits, her recklessness, and her serious lack of common sense sometimes.

Relationship Description
Over the past couple months of knowing each other, Patricia and Eliza have become fast friends. They’ve bonded over so many things they have in common, like music, hero work, and their age. They spend nearly every moment they can together- sleepovers, missions, doing homework. But the two are oddly… touchy for friends. They can often be found curled up next to each other, or holding hands, or just casually close. Patricia even thinks she might like her, like like-like, but of course she’d never say that out loud. Who is she to even think someone as awesome and sweet as Eliza would ever like someone like her back?

Relationship Description
Despite a rocky start involving mind control and wallet-stealing, Patricia would consider Grace a friend of hers. She trusts the older girl to have her back on riskier missions, and respects her and the pride she takes in her work. She would be loathe to admit this, but she even looks up to Grace a little. Except when she’s drunk. Drunk Grace is a handsy nightmare.

Angelica and Patricia get along well enough. While they might not be friends (yet), Patricia does enjoy working with the older girl, if only because she’s responsible and won’t destroy buildings. Their power sets also pair well, even if Angelica might be more suited to working alone. More than that, though, Patricia has increasingly found Angelica putting herself into a more sisterly role towards her than anything- a thing that vaguely annoys her but is also sort of comforting.

Patricia hasn’t known Azhar for long, but is vaguely friendly towards him. Or tries to be at least- she’s really not exceedingly friendly towards many people. She feels as though they might be able to bond over their shared love of singing, but isn’t quite sure. After all, her singing is wildly different from that of most people that like to sing- she isn’t sure if that would freak him out or not. Probably not, given that his power is literally death.

Affiliation

Tier

Personality
Jamie is the definition of heroic. She's kind, brave, and has a strong moral compass. She believes that all people are inherently good, but, in order for people to remain that way, bad people must go down. She views the world in an inherently black and white way- for her, there is no grey area. You are either bad or good, not both. Needless to say, thinking this way leads her to being incredibly naive and short-sighted. She is ridiculously trusting in others and extremely gullible, having fallen for multiple Nigerian prince scams. She's rather ditzy, too, having trouble remembering simple things. She often goes overboard on the battlefield, forgetting just how much damage she can cause in the pursuit of a villain. Although not a thrillseeker at all, she's extremely irresponsible and often causes massive damage to surrounding areas, having collapsed several structures and caused several earthquakes.

Backstory
Before her powers, Jamie had led a relatively normal life. She grew up in an upper middle class, white-picket fence suburb somewhere outside of Castleburg, with a mom and a dad. She was the youngest of three. She went to high school- planned on going to university before it was all derailed. She was popular at school, but not the mean kind. Got decent grades. Life was good- if boring.

Her normal life changed when her powers emerged. Her mom had powers, too- a minor form of telekinesis, helpful for getting the television remote and not much else. The catalyst was a fight with her older sister. It was about something stupid, Jamie remembered later. The TV channel. They were fighting over the TV remote when the house started to shake, to shiver, to tremble- and as Jamie's anger rose, so did the shaking. She felt the tremors like an extension of herself, like she was shaking too. It was almost... euphoric. Until the house fell on her head, that is. The emergency workers managed to get her and her family out of the rubble, fortunately- no one died. But her father and sister were both terribly injured, whereas Jamie only ended up with a broken arm.

Being the age of heroes, this freak event was thoroughly investigated. Nobody believed that this event was due to an earthquake, of all things. It didn't match up. Investigators traced the event back to Jamie, and it was determined that she had powers. S-Tier. She was put on a watchlist, of sorts, and strongly encouraged to join H.E.R.O. Of course, she did so promptly. Now having earned the disdain of both her family and the opportunity to join a career where she would be able to truly help people, there was no clearer option to her. This was where she belonged.

Power

Tremor- Jamie has the ability to manipulate the vibrations surrounding her. In short, she can make things shake, and intensely. She does so on a fairly massive scale, having the ability to cause destructive earthquakes and shockwaves. When her powers are focused, she can create directed concussive blasts of vibrational force, which have a wide variety of uses. However, her power has one major weakness- it affects herself. If her powers are over-used, it has a very negative affect on her body. Her power has caused broken bones and even internal bleeding. She also doesn't have much control over her power, especially when feeling emotional.

Relationship Description
Jamie can say with complete certainty that hanging out with him is an absolute blast. Even though their version of ‘having a blast’ more often than not ends up with getting dragged down to the police station or screamed at by Director Powers. She’s been in a jail cell with him multiple times, so that has definitely bonded them. Even if most of the incidents weren’t her fault.

Relationship Description
Jamie and Brie feed off each other’s dumbassery. When Brie does something dumb, Jamie is sure to do something even dumber in response, and vice versa. This is part of what makes them such good friends. Even though they cause so much chaos when they’re together, hanging out with Brie is always a good (and hilarious!) experience. But their combined dumbassery is also what makes them such horrible roommates. Jamie has fun, yes, but a lot of stuff ends up getting destroyed when they live together.

Jamie and Tom get along well. They’re both pretty powerful heroes, so more often than not, Jamie ends up going on missions with him and Blake. They hang out a lot, too, and can have a shitton of fun together. He’s a bit more… responsible than Brie and Blake, but he’s still pretty cool! Jamie finds Tom really hilarious and loves all his jokes, but a lot of them go over her head. Especially the ones where he’s making fun of her.

Relationship Description
Jamie would like to get to know Patricia beyond her abrasive exterior, but the younger girl seems to always want to avoid her like the plague. Plus, whenever they do interact, Patricia either laughs at her or insults her. Jamie hopes they might be friends someday. Patricia seems to be friends with everybody else, after all!

Relationship Description
Jamie’s hung out with Grace a couple times, but doesn’t get the sense that the other woman enjoys her presence. At all. To be fair, Grace is super smart so there’s probably just something she’s not getting, but still. Plus, even then, Grace is a bit too serious for her taste- unlike all her other friends, she’s always uptight and never willing to do anything fun. But she’ll get her to be fun eventually. It’s only a matter of time!

Name:
Abigail Mary Nielsen

Code Name:
Duplica

Nicknames:
Abby

Gender:
Female; she/her pronouns

Age:
21

Date of Birth:
October 18th

Physique:
Abby is an average-sized woman at about 5'5" and 137 pounds. She's not skinny, but she's not fat either, and certainly not muscular. She has medium-brown eyes, full lips that can often be found pressed into a smirk, and a petite nose. Her nose is pierced in the left nostril, although it can't be seen in her costume. Her hair is naturally a mousy brown but is bleached a platinum blonde and cut into a shoulder-length bob cut. She has fair skin that sunburns rather easily.

Blood Type:
B+

Occupation:
Villain

Side:
Villain

Affiliation:

Tier:
B-

Personality:
Abigail is what could easily be described as a "spoiled bitch". She's catty and mean, never one to miss out on a damaging joke at another's expense. She's unkind to friends, family, and foes alike; although she certainly knows when it's time to suck up or flatter someone. With that unkindness and flattery together, she finds it easy to wrap people around her little finger. Those she can, that is. When she runs into someone she can't manipulate or bully into giving her what she wants (which is often nowadays) she short-circuits, falling back on her base instincts. Fear and flattery. She has a tendency to be emotionally toxic to both friends and acquaintances and often has a self-important air about her. Not that she doesn’t have the potential to be a good friend and a caring person- she does, deep down, but most don’t get past the bitchy part of her. And why would you want to?

The belief that she is entitled to everything she wants permeates Abigail’s behavior. She really doesn’t like to be told no, which usually results in her temper coming out in full force. She’s not used to the idea that you have to work to get the things that you want, so she’ll often take the easiest route to get her way. With some caveats, of course- she won’t do anything she deems beneath her. Whether she has to circumvent the law or not doesn’t really matter to her, though. She tends not to let silly little things like the law get in her way. Or morality, for that matter, although she does have two rules for herself: no murder and no torture. That’s more out of a belated sense of obligation than any real compassion, though. They’re lines she’d be willing to cross if it came down to it, but not lines she’d be willing to cross casually. Unless if it would be in her best interest, of course- Abby is notoriously selfish, prioritizing herself above all others. She’s also quite vain, caring almost an excessive amount about her appearance.

Although she might not sem it, Abby is an intelligent woman deep-down. She’s not too emotionally mature herself, but she knows how to work people until they give her exactly what she wants. She’s also got a good mind for strategy, although she’d never say or admit that out loud. Way too nerdy for her. This has been a significant factor in why she hasn’t been caught as most amateur villains are- she instinctively knows how to maneuver herself and her clones to minimize risk.

Backstory:
Abby was born to a blessed, simple life. Her mother and father, Rachel and Jonathan Nielsen, were wealthy, influential members of their small farming town of Ashland, Nebraska. They owned a fairly expansive, profitable corn farm and ranch on the outskirts of town. Jonathan was the elected county sheriff and Rachel was the daughter of the wealthy owners of a corn farming enterprise. Neither had powers. Throughout her early childhood, Abby went to school, made friends, played piano, snuck makeup out of her parents’ bathroom- all normal things for a normal girl. She was rather popular in school throughout her years in Ashland and had a lot of friends. She was a bit of a bully, too, but her parents reasoned she would grow out of it with time.

Abby got powers at a normal age, around 12 or so. They weren’t powerful, but they weren’t weak, either. The emergence of her powers shocked her family. They weren’t a superpower sort of family- they were all just normal, respectable people! And having 7 different Abigail’s wandering around the house wasn’t exactly normal or respectable. As much as Abby’s parents wouldn’t admit it, they were irked with their daughter’s abilities. Maybe a little scared, too. They didn’t like her powers, and Abby realized that. She started to resent her parents a little. The clones were awesome. Couldn’t they see that? She’d make them see.

She started to act out around 13. She saw the scared looks when she cloned herself, the villains and heroes fighting on the TV screens, and it all triggered something inside of her. She started with shoplifting, ironically. She didn’t need to steal, she had everything she could ever want at home, but it was easy to steal when you could just spawn another version of yourself, sit on a bench in the food court, and let the chaos play out. She realized she liked it. The risk and the adrenaline, the feeling of planning out the heist of a butterfly clip or a headband, felt amazing. So she escalated. Again and again and again.

At 15, she was eventually caught and arrested for shoplifting an expensive ring from a JCPenney. But she could count on her father to pull some strings and get her out of trouble. No one wanted to arrest the sheriff’s daughter and face his wrath. She was arrested four more times before she was 18 but got out scot-free each time, although each time disappointing her parents further. All they wanted was to cover up her troublemaking nature and avoid any rumors, so her behavior went largely unpunished.

Once she was 18, her parents were more than happy to ship her off to Castleburg for college. She attended UCNA for a time as an English major, her parents fully funding her education. If this meant they could get a troublesome burr out of their hair, so be it. Maybe Castleburg would even shape her up a bit. In Castleburg, Abby quickly realized that she could no longer get away with murder. That made her angry. She wasn’t stupid, and she could see how Castleburg treated superpowered criminals. Daddy wasn’t around to get her out of trouble anymore. In her sophomore year of college, Abby got into a fight with her roommate over some stolen food. If asked later, she would freely admit that she had stolen it- it was food in their shared fridge, and it looked good! Abby ended up punching her roommate in the face over this and broke her nose. Her roommate ultimately decided not to press charges, but she was kicked out of UCNA.

Abby had enough common sense to realize that she couldn’t just go crawling back home to Nebraska. Explaining to her parents that she had been expelled from university for assault would be shameful, and that shame was beneath her. She had good powers! Why not try to do something with that? She thought about applying for HERO but figured that it would be a waste of time. They wouldn’t want to hire her. At the end of the day, she was out of money. A bit of villain work would be her best bet. Not enough to get thrown in prison, but enough to get by. She certainly didn’t want to be a career villain.

So, she started stealing. With her power, it wasn’t too hard to be an independent villain, and she started to make away with more and more money. She named herself Duplica. It was the only name she could come up with that didn’t sound completely stupid and that wasn’t already taken by some other, probably better, self-duplicating supervillain. So far, she hasn’t robbed too many places- mostly homes or stores in some of the various boroughs around town. She’s even taken a couple of lower-level, low-risk jobs from various villain agencies around town, but that’s not quite a regular thing.

She’s been out on the streets for 3 months now. She’s inexperienced, but not completely new to the game. But she’s in over her head. Abigail won’t admit it to herself, but she is in way, way over her head. She doesn’t know anything about gangs, or stealing, or crime. A month ago, the Brookside Bruisers caught her running a burglary in their territory and beat her so hard she was left bloody and bruised. Thankfully not stabbed, but they warned her that she would be if they caught her there again. And she believes them. Abby would go home, but… she can’t go crawling home now. Her parents don’t want her there. And she’s above grunt work in some sort of restaurant or community college. She can make it as a villain. Right?

Power:
Abby has fairly standard self-duplication powers. While standing still, concentrating, and with a little bit of space, she can generate copies of herself. They’re solid, squishy, and realistic replicas of Abigail. They’re not complete replicas, though. If someone were to stab one of them, they wouldn’t find blood and bone. They’d find a strange blue goo, and that the clone would hardly feel any pain as it was stabbed. It would just keep going. They’re as strong as her and as fast as her, but not nearly as smart. Most of her clones are only able to form monosyllabic grunts and words on their own, barely able to tie phrases together. They only speak on request by Abigail. If left on their own, they’ll most likely charge their opponents without a care for safety or strategy. As far as Abigail can tell, they don’t think. They’re just empty husks that look like her. But they do listen to her! The vast majority of her clones follow her orders without even a second of hesitation.

She can create up to 18 clones safely at a time, she’s found. After that… well, things get weird. The quality of her clones deteriorates as she summons more. The first clone she summons might be able to speak, listen, and report back. But by number 10, her clones start to lose fingers, toes. Even an arm once at 16. Their faces get messed up, their bone structures twist and grow. Once, at clone #19, she created a clone without any legs or arms and a twisted face- just a torso. But the problem isn’t the ones missing parts. The problem is the ones who don’t listen. She’s created three of what she terms as “psycho clones”. Their faces are warped, their bodies missing pieces, but they’re smart. Too smart. Once she gets past clone 18, the chance of accidentally creating a psycho clone grows. And those things are bloodthirsty. The only thing that’ll stop them from killing (preferably Abigail) is a bullet to the brain. This aspect of her power freaks her out, but she’s always trying to grow her clone capacity. If she just concentrates a bit more, she knows she can do it.

OTHER:

• Abby has a mild addiction to nicotine, specifically vape. She is often sighted with a Juul or a vape pen in her mouth.
• She skateboards.
• Abby has a mild Nebraskan accent, which she works hard to conceal.
• Hex code is #1d7572.

Date of Birth
20th July

Physique
Standing at a slight 5'6, there isn't really much to Brie when it comes to musculature or fat. She's naturally of a slim body habitus, which has only been compounded by years of poor nutrition. Her time at H.E.R.O has allowed her to eat regularly and exercise, so she at least looks more healthy these days. Although she's fair in complexion, she does tan easily and has a good smattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose.

She has several tattoos dotted around her body, most of which are on her arms, although there are a few more hidden ones. She doesn't like to discuss her tattoos or the meaning of them, and generally gets annoyed when people point them out. She also has a few piercings, including a few on her ears and one on her bellybutton.

Her hair is dark brown and is usually either worn in loose waves or tied up in a messy bun, whilst her eyes are probably her most outstanding feature, being a bright green colour. If she starts to absorb too much nearby electricity, they will begin to turn white in colour.

Personality
Brie is a tough cookie to crack. Her upbringing has made her wary of others, and upon first meeting her, most would describe Brie as standoffish and aloof. She sees little point in getting to know others, assuming that they will eventually leave her. She does not share her emotions easily and is skilled at adopting a mask to hide what she is really feeling. Many are surprised when they found out that she is working for H.E.R.O, however Brie likes to insist that she is purely in it for the money and that she could care less about the wellbeing of the Castleburgs citizens.

Brie has never been good with authority and constantly struggles with taking orders from H.E.R.O. She will tolerate working in a team but is known for going astray on more than one occasion. She also sees little point in trying to fine-tune her powers, liking them as they are...which has led to the occassional blackout.

However, underneath her hard exterior, Brie has a wicked sense of humour and natural charisma that, when she lets people in, draws others to her. Although it would surprise those at H.E.R.O, she is an extrovert and enjoys being around others...not that she would ever admit it. Akin to the rest of her family, she was born with the gift of the gab, and when she chooses to, can spin a very believable lie.

Backstory
Born in the underprivileged borough of Brookside, Brie's upbringing was tumultuous, to say the least. Her parents, being heavy drug users and often in & out of prison, were absent from her early childhood. Instead she was raised by her brother, Wyatt, who was eight years her elder. The pair survived for a while, squatting in the high-rise where their parents had once lived, scrounging food off their neighbours when they could, stealing when people became less generous.

However when Brie was only seven years old, Wyatts fell in with the wrong crowd, following in his parents footsteps as he fell down the path of drugs and debauchery. Left alone and with no-one to care for her, Brie was eventually taken into care, bouncing from one foster family to the next. A scrawny kid, Brie was often made fun of by the others, but she could hold her own and was frequently punished for getting into fights. Whilst most foster families were apathetic at their worst, using Brie as a means of income, some were downright cruel.

Brie first discovered her powers when she was only nine years old. For years she had noticed that lights would sometimes flicker when she entered a room or that the TV would lose signal when she was annoyed, but she always assumed that it was just a coincidence. However her powers truly came to fruition when she was staying with one particularly unsavoury foster family. They were not only neglectful but physically abusive, and one day when she was trying to defend herself, she accidentally electrocuted her foster father. He lived...after he woke up from the six months coma.

Scared of what the authorities might do to her if they found out about her powers, Brie ran away. For years she lived on the streets, sometimes squatting with friends, othertimes simply finding a quiet alleyway to hide in. When she was seventeen, she got a job as a bartender at a particularly unsavoury joint in the slums of Brookside. It was there that Brie stumbled across her brother. Unbeknownst to her, Wyatt had discovered powers of his own, the abiity to read and manipulate the minds of others. He had used this to gather a gang of low levels villains, intent on getting revenge on the city that had dealt him such a bad card. Upon finding out about her powers, Wyatt persuaded her to come work for them. By the time Brie was eighteen, Wyatts gang had gained notoriety in Brookside, having a monopoly over the crime in that part of the city.

At first Brie was simply happy to be reunited with her brother, however she soon came to realise that she was not always in control of her actions and that she had periods that she simply could not recall. Realising that her brother was controlling her, she managed to trap him during one particularly tricky bank heist, using her powers to keep him locked in one of the most secure volts in the city. Since then, her brother has been taken to Coldwater, whilst Brie recently became a member of H.E.R.O.

Powers

'Back off': Brie can generate electromagnetic fields and use these to create barriers or shields that can block attacks. These are usually limited to her immediate area.

'Lights out': Brie can manipulate the electrical current within pieces of technology. Usually she just uses this for day-to-day tasks or to annoy others, but it can have more useful practicalities. Theoretically, this can even be used to fix broken devices...but she's never tried.

Elecro-blast: Brie can fire powerful blasts of electrical energy. Usually, this is in the form of an arc of electrical current, lightning strikes or even a ball of electricity.

Bio-electricity: Brie has a limited ability to manipulate the bio-electric currents that naturally run throughout her body. By manipulating the currents in her muscles when she is running, she is able to increase her speed, although currently, this is only to the point where she is slightly faster than the average human.

Weaknesses: Brie is unable to generate electricity, save for small amounts which would only be enough to say power a lightbulb, therefore she relies on external sources to fuel her powers.

Others:

Brie has a particular soft spot for stray cats and dogs, often taking the odd one into her flat for a few days, so that she can feed it up and tend to any wounds.

Brie has a bad habit of frequenting bars or clubs, and often turns up to work hungover, much to the chargrin of those in charge.

She absolutely loves thunderstorms and will insist on going outside during them so that she can attract nearby strikes of lightning.

Her time on the streets has left her with some rather unheroic habits. This includes her practice of acquiring cars through...not so legal means. She is also a dab hand at pickpocketing (not that she does this anymore, of course).

Brie has a dog named Dog, who is half-Rottweiler/half-MWE. His favourite food is pancakes and he enjoys biting people.

Physique
Standing at exactly 6ft tall, Wyatt is not overly muscular but does enough to keep himself well-toned and fit. He has fair skin but no noticeable blemishes or freckles are to be seen.

Objectively most people can't deny that he's a good looking guy, his storm blue eyes and perfectly proportioned features enough to charm any woman. He has a mop of black hair that he usually keeps short at the sides and swept back from his face. His smile is probably his most outstanding feature though, it having both won and broke the heart of many over the years.

Surprisingly for someone from Brookside, Wyatt has no tattoos and although he previously had a piercing in each ear, these were taken out several years ago. He has some scars across his back, although these are well faded and barely noticeable anymore.

Tier

Personality

On the surface Wyatt is all charm, charisma and pleasantries. Even without his powers, he has always had a way with words and knows just what to say to twist someone round his little finger. It also doesn't help that he can see a persons every thought and deepest darkest secrets...

Underneath however, Wyatt is cold and calculating. He sees the world as a brutal place, that left he and his sister alone, and that prioritises heros above all else. He sees others as simply tools for him to use and has little care for their needs or wishes. There is a part of him that has a soft spot for his sister, though this is often overtaken by desire to use her for her powers.

Perhaps due to the fact that he feels little emotion, Wyatt has always been prone to boredom and is constantly craving stimulation. He enjoys playing and toying with others, and will go out of his way to bring someone into one of his games. And although he does not necessarily feel the emotions, he is greatly skilled at putting on a mask and most would have difficulty telling otherwise.

Although he does not have a bad temper per say, he likes things done his way, and those around him would be wise to do as he pleases. People who do irritate him seem to always coincidentally go missing, only to be found less...alive, than they once were.

Backstory
For as long as Wyatt can remember, he's been able to hear the thoughts of others. When he was very young, he figured it was just something everyone could do, and was surprised when at the mention of his powers, his parents looked at him with fear. After all, who wants their every thought known? Especially to their child?

Whereas his sister was too young to recall the atrocities that were their parents, Wyatt was subject to it all. They were never fit to care for children, and he also suspected that the only thing that kept them together was their mutual love of hard drugs. Possession of drugs, theft, assault, antisocial behaviour... The list was endless. Their parents must have had a rap sheet longer than the bible. Wyatt was honestly glad when they just disappeared one day. He didn't even bother checking whether they were in prison or if they'd died...it didn't really matter after all. So instead, he was left at twelve to raise a four year old sister. Luckily for them, Brookside was a mess, and they were able to squat in their old flat for a while. Wyatt hated it thought. Always having to struggle for food, never having heating, hearing the neighbours thoughts about them... As if he deserved such a life.

It wasn't long before he got fed up of struggling. He began to spend more and more time on the streets, seeking solace in drugs and debauchery. And he probably would have gone down the same path as his parents, if he hadn't met Mr. King when he was fifteen. The man had the ability to teleport substances from one location to another, and had utilised this to begin his own drug empire in Castleburg. His lackies consisted of a mix of average humans and superheros with D/E rank abilities at best. The gang, for lack of a better name, developed a significant degree of infamy around Brookside and were dubbed by the media 'The Calaveras', for the way they painted their faces before a raid.

Although he hid the true extent of his powers from Mr. King, the man took the young Wyatt under his wing. Afterall, a boy who can hear both your friends and enemies thoughts is infinitely useful. Wyatt enjoyed the power that Mr. King brought with him and relished in the opportunity to fine tune his powers. But...he always figured that his boss was thinking too small. He was always too eager to play up to politicians and famous celebrities, including the hero ones. So bit by bit, Wyatt began to take over. It took him years to fine tune his abilities to control the minds of others, especially when they were strong, but he learnt and he took control.

It was not until years later, at the age of 25, that Wyatt ran into his sister. He'd tried to look for her in the past but as soon as she'd gone on the streets, she'd gotten lost to the system. He surprised himself when he felt sympathy for her, seeing her work in that depressing bar, and she'd been more than eager to reconnect with her brother. When he realised what her power was, he persuaded her to come work for him. She was not only stronger than most of his men but could also get into places that had been previously inaccessible. Sure sometimes she hadn't wanted to, and he'd had to change her mind, but so be it.

Until she managed to trap him that is. They'd been planning to rob one of the most secure banks in all of Castleburg, its vaults impenetrable...unless you had access to the electrical currents that held those locks tight in place. She'd persuaded him to come along, insisting that he would need to keep his men in check for such a tricky robbery. To this day Wyatt has not been able to figure out how she did it, but Brie managed to block her true thoughts from him. He was a fool to step into the vault. A fool who got trapped. He's since been locked up in Coldwater for the past two years, his sentence infinite. But...it's only a matter of time.

Power
Telepathy/mind control

Wyatt is a strong telepath, which allows him to read the thoughts (and sometimes memories) of others. He can also communicate with others telepathically. Through this same ability, Wyatt is able to control the thoughts, emotions or actions of certain other people. Usually, when he is controlling another's actions they will be in a semi-conscious state and have no recollection of the actions they performed. This power has been particularly useful in being able to control other superpowered people and use them for his own purposes.

Extras:
Wyatt can perfectly imitate at least a dozen accents from different countries. He is also fluent in Russian and French.

Thanks to his powers, Wyatt has a near eidetic memory.

Thomas is, in short, a thrillseeker. Hero work for him is the same as something like skydiving or bungee jumping, he does it for the sheer adrenaline thrill that taking down a villain or a monster can bring him. He counts his lucky stars that he has a power that is genuinely a lot of fun to have and to use. And the fact that he gets paid for doing this fun is just an added bonus. He is a carefree person that doesn't really worry too much about the moral, good versus evil aspects of hero work, and in the same vein he isn't that concerned about property damage or anything like that. He's having fun, and the people should be grateful for it anyway, right? Who really cares if a couple of buildings or cars get taken out in the meantime.

This aspect of his personality aligns perfectly with the way he interacts with other people, especially his fellow heroes. He makes constant jokes about people he's with, which can get on people's nerves. He also has a habit of making fun of or deriding his colleagues who fret too much about minor property damage or the ethical way to try and catch a villain. Conversely, however, he gets easily annoyed when other people make fun of him, or something happens that might embarrass him. He also gets touchy around actions that might get the police involved - he has strong fear of prison.

Backstory
Thomas was born into a fairly well-off family, where he was raised in a penthouse near the top of one of the tallest buildings in Castleburg. His mother died when he was very young, and he doesn't really remember her at all. From then on, he was raised by his father alone. It would be a stretch to say that Thomas' father was a responsible man. He worked as a movie stuntman, having the power to slow down kinetic forces which made doing wild and crazy stunts safe. Thomas admired his father and saw him as an absolute role model, which contributed to his carefree and thrillseeking personality that he exhibits today.

He knew that he would probably have some kind of power, but they didn't show themselves until he was 13 years old. Exploring an abandoned building with his friends, he slipped and fell into a gaping hole that fell down a few floors. His body kicked in to save him and he suddenly switched direction and went flying into a nearby wall, narrowly avoiding a broken window. He spent the rest of the day at the site experimenting with what he could do, long after his friends had gone home and long after the sun had set. He returned home by floating up to the window and swinging it open, scaring his father half to death.

His power was immediately channelled into giving himself mischief and amusement. Floating from roof to roof, up the sides of skyscrapers and scaring the office workers inside, attempting to stack as many of his friends as possible without the tower falling over. He used his abilities as often as he could without any real regard for people's safety or the law. When he was 17, he had his first and last run in with the police. His friend dared him to do something to his new car, so he strained as hard as he could, attempting to flip it upside down. However, he bit off more than he could chew and the car instead went lurching forward, taking out a neighbour's carefully pruned garden. He received a monumental fine and Thomas' father had to offer the neighbour a lot to stop him from pressing charges. It was here that Thomas underwent an epiphany - he loved using his powers... but he needed a way to use them freely without running into the law.

And so, hero work seemed to be the way to do it. When he left school, he gave it a few tries on his own. He stopped a couple of robberies. Soon after that he went out to look for an actual organisation to join that would give him some protection, and about a week later he was signed up as a member of H.E.R.O. That was 6 years ago, and Thomas has enjoyed every bit of it so far - well, all of it except having to deal with the higher ups when that was occasionally necessary.

Power
Gravity Bending
Thomas has the power to shape and change the direction or strength of gravity in his surroundings. This means he can make himself or nearby objects levitate or float straight upwards, and this ability can also be used to give him a form of flight - if he shifts it horizontally he can then glide efficiently in a certain direction to quickly reach enemies that are on the run or a long way away. This can also be used for a crude imitation of telekinesis, making objects float towards him - however this is obviously much less controlled, and he has to try hard to not let the object just hit him or float past by accident. This is the main limitation of his ability - it requires constant concentration. If he loses focus for a moment, he could go flying or falling in the wrong direction.

Thomas' fighting style is wild and bombastic, fitting with both his power and his personality. He likes to carry around a baseball bat or other blunt objects which can be thwacked into villains as he flies past. He also uses anything that he can in his surroundings as a weapon, which has led to a non-insignificant amount of property damage when he's doing his hero work.

OTHER
He runs an account on social media as a passion project, where he films some of the stunts that he performs. It's moderately popular.

Name
Nicholas Dakin

Code Name
Caustic

Gender
Male

Age
30

Date of Birth
11th May

Physique
Nicholas is tall, at around 6'5, with a thin and lanky physique. Under his costume he is almost ghostly pale, with jet black hair and noticeable bags under his eyes that never seem to go away. Despite his constant and active villainy, you would be hard pressed to find a blemish or mark on his skin, except for a small scar on the side of his neck. He gives off a generally uneasy vibe, whether he is in costume or without it, that isn't difficult for anyone to notice.

Blood Type
AB

Occupation
Villain. His ability allows him to steal himself a lot of money - he doesn't struggle.

Side
Villainous.

Affiliation
Unaffiliated. Out for himself.

Tier
S-

Personality
Nicholas' personality is a mix of unfortunate traits rolled into one unpleasant individual. He takes great pleasure in causing death and destruction, and when combined with a power that has the potential for such gruesome results, the outcome is a very dangerous and unpredictable villain. That isn't to say he is some unfeeling psychopath - he has the barest of morals, he isn't going to corrode an orphanage full of children for the sake of it, or anything like that. Nicholas is arrogant and fully convinced of his own superiority, as well as the superiority of people with powers over those without. He believes that those with abilities have the right to rule over and do as they please to the majority of the population without abilities. Therefore, an organisation such as H.E.R.O attracts his particular scorn.

Backstory
One may expect a person like Nicholas to have some kind of tortured, painful upbringing that moulded him into the man he is today. However, that is far from the case. He was born in a huge house on the outskirts of Castleburg, the son of a CEO and his wife. His father had made his fortune by founding a company that sold a modified version of the acid that he could conjure out of his hands. This acidic substance is the same one that forms the basis of Nicholas' powers. He saw very, very little of his father and mother growing up and in true stereotypical fashion, much of his raising was done by a legion of caretakers and by the boarding school that he attended for the majority of his childhood.

Nicholas' powers came out when he was 10, which resulted in severe burns to the arm of a nanny that came to see why he was screaming - moments prior, he had accidentally corroded a games console he was playing into a smoking mess on the ground. His father had to raise the pay of the nannies after that, to a significant degree. Nicholas quickly realised that his powers were particularly strong, and quickly began using them to bully around other children at his school. He ascended from being average in terms of social standing to having the vast majority of children following his tune. This continued on through the rest of his academic life, and as it progressed he found out more and more things that his powers allowed him to do. He first "phased" through the wall of his dormitory at age 16, abusing this power more and more as he got older. His school was glad to see the back of him when he left aged 18.

Nicholas had no interest in his father's company - indeed, he actively despised his father for selling the source of their power as a commodity to people who were not worthy to use it. Aimless and spending most nights wandering the streets of Castleburg with his old lackeys from school, he didn't truly unlock the true destructive power of his abilities for a few years. At the age of 21, Nicholas killed someone for the first time. It was a homeless man, and while largely an accident, as Nicholas looked down at the body below him, he couldn't say he felt any remorse. A few months later he returned home for a short while - but this turned out to be a huge mistake. He ended up in a violent shouting match with this father, where he ended up storming into his father's bedroom and destroying anything he could see - the bed, books, heirlooms passed down for generations in the family. After he left, his father called the police and told them everything.

Despite the fact that he was now a wanted man, Nicholas began to perform firmly villainous acts, that got more and more extreme each time. This was when he truly began to realise how strong his abilities were. One night, he tore through a block of buildings, leading to the deaths of two and millions in property damage. His notoriety grew, as did the extent to which heroes and the police attempted to hunt him down. One night at the age of 26, he broke into a bar and got himself worked into a drunken rage, thinking about his father. He travelled to the plant where his father's product was made, and melted it into a pile of rubble. As the ceiling began to collapse in, however, a lead pipe used to transport the substances fell down onto him, trapping him underneath. The police arrived shortly after, surrounded the perimeter and surrounded him in a titanium box, which was then transported to Coldwater.

Nicholas spent a year in the prison. Locked inside a titanium cell. He was not allowed outside his cell, and was trapped inside alone for a whole year. Every day that passed made him more angry and more twisted. 11 months in, and he began to plan his escape. But how would he do it? He couldn't fake a medical emergency... they would just let him die. He spent a week scouring every corner of his cell for anything not made of titanium. He realised the only thing that wasn't titanium that he came into contact with was his food. He kept small pieces of the most solid food he was given, using his powers to melt them together into a sizeable ball. One day, the small slit to push in food was opened, and he acted immediately, forcing the item through it where it pressed into the leg of a warden, burning him immediately. He collapsed forward and his hand slipped through the slit. Nicholas grabbed it, holding him tight, telling him that if he didn't open the door he would lose his life. The young, largely inexperienced guard complied - Nicholas walked out and killed him anyway, before burning his way through the floors beneath him and bursting out onto the streets below as alarms blared.

That was four years ago, and Nicholas' villainous acts have only got more extreme since then - although he has been careful to avoid any lead or titanium since that incident.

Power
Liquid Death
Nicholas has almost complete control over a highly toxic, highly corrosive and completely unique acidic substance. He can pulse the substance into materials when touching them, corroding or destroying said material, or he can embed items with the substance's properties, making them corrosive to the touch. However, his most destructive ability is his power to transmute himself and materials structurally into this substance. This effectively allows him to "phase" through solid surfaces when doing this, without changing his appearance, leaving a corroded mess in his wake. However, there are certain materials that he has no effect on. Certain advanced and rare alloys of steel as well as titanium and lead - only in their pure forms - are completely impervious to his abilities, and weapons made of these substances would be highly effective.

Nicholas' fighting style is dirty and gruesome. His power allows him to effectively run "through" people, killing them instantly, and this can dispatch large numbers of people caught off guard in a short amount of time. He also carries with him a machete embedded with corrosive properties for combat with people who are smart or skillful enough to get out of the way and fight properly.

OTHER
He has a small collection of things made out of titanium, lead, copper and the othe resistant materials that he has stolen from people he has killed. Almost like war trophies.

Name of Person
Blake Ignatius von Brandt

Relationship Status
Very good friend

Quick Quote
"He's probably the only one in the entirety of H.E.R.O that I know who is always up for something fun. No way I'm not gonna be goodfriends with someone like that."

Relationship Description
Tom feels as if he has a very close relationship with Blake, due to the fact that their personalities mesh and align almost perfectly. There's a definite respect for his abilities as well as his fun personality, and the countless misadventures and run-ins with Powers and other higher-ups of H.E.R.O have only made their bond stronger over time. Of course they bicker a lot, but it's just the bickering of friends and nothing is meant by it.

Name of Person
Noah Bell/Starbright

Relationship Status
Acquaintances at best

Quick Quote
"He's easy as hell to make fun of, but I don't think he quite understands it. I try to stay away if I can, I don't need to hear about his legions of adoring teenage fans for hours and hours."

Relationship Description
Tom doesn't exactly hate Starbright, but he does find him annoying as hell, and doesn't really enjoy spending time in his vicinity. Good thing that he doesn't spend much time at H.E.R.O One then. But if they are in the vicinity together, Tom doesn't pass up the chance for a good joke at his expensive.

Name of Person
Zane Wulfe

Relationship Status
They don't get on.

Quick Quote
"Absolute killjoy. Has probably yelled at me almost as many times as Powers has, and it's not like he has a right to!"

Relationship Description
Tom and Zane are usually at odds due to their opposing attitudes towards hero work, and they have clashed numerous times on the matter. He has no interest in attempting a foster a relationship with Zane due to the dislike there. Although he has respect for the hero work him and Nova Labs have pulled off - that respect is in a vacuum.

Name of Person
Angelica Alexander

Relationship Status
Friends

Quick Quote
"Not overly a fun person, and I have to admit I didn't expect Blake to date her, but we get along pretty well regardless."

Relationship Description
Despite the fact that their personalities don't mesh that well together, Tom considers Angelica his friend, although if Blake wasn't dating her they probably wouldn't have much interaction at all. He wishes that she cared less about being pRaGMaTiC all the time, though.

---

Name of Person
Ava

Relationship Status
Friendish

Quick Quote
"She's a little... weird, but it's fun to watch her skulk about and make like, cops uncomfortable and stuff."

Relationship Description
Tom gets on with Ava in their limited interactions. He can't help feeling a little unnerved at her, as he's sure most other people do, but it's not like she's ever done anything actually creepy. Can be good entertainment for him, sometimes.

---

Name of Person
Patricia Donnelly

Relationship Status
Good friends

Quick Quote
"I don't really care what her father did. Well I mean, it's bad obviously, but it doesn't affect how she is. Can be a bit grumpy sometimes... well, a lot of the time, but she's a good kid overall, like... let's just say I'd be very upset if something bad happened to her."

Relationship Description
Tom gets on with Patricia well, although he does like to annoy her by calling her Patty or a wide variety of nicknames, which he knows she doesn't like, but of course he's not going to stop doing that. The teasing is only surface-level, and he wouldn't want to actually upset her. He sees her as almost like a little sister, but of course he'd never say that out loud.

---

Name of Person
Jamie Stewart

Relationship Status
Good friend

Quick Quote
"We've had some really riveting conversations over the years. Truly a source of endless philosophical wit."

Relationship Description
One of Tom's favourite pastimes is just seeing how much he can get away with when it comes to Jamie. Straight up insulting her intelligence - of course in a playful manner - to her face, or using her as a vector to mess with other heroes, or just getting her to do funny stuff. But it's never malicious, her pure innocence makes him have a bit of a soft spot for her.

---

Name of Person
Brianna Hart

Relationship Status
Good friend.

Quick Quote
"She's cool. Of course I'd like anyone who isn't gonna yell at me all the time or scold me for dumb shit."

Relationship Description
Brie is probably Tom's second favourite person at H.E.R.O after Blake (not counting Jamie's pure entertainment value). She seems chill enough that the two get along, and she's even up for something fun from time to time. He hasn't really bothered to get to properly know her and her past, though, which he isn't all that interested in yet.

---

Name of Person
Eliza Alexander

Relationship Status
Friend.

Quick Quote
"I mean... what do you expect me to say? It's like asking me what I think of a very small puppy."

Relationship Description
Tom would have to possess a heart of steel not to like Eliza. She's just an absolutely adorable person. But he does wish that she let him look after Cloud or Bow more often. Or at all.

---

Name of Person
William Thorson

Relationship Status
Good acquaintance, very near friend.

Quick Quote
"Will is a good guy, a bit too straight around the edges, but good."

Relationship Description
Tom has a fairly solid relationship with Will at this point, he's come on a lot of their escapades at this point that Tom has a positive opinion of him. Like with Angie and Blake, his relationship with Brie was unexpected, but whatever, they all seem happy enough.

---

Name of Person
Joseph Moore

Relationship Status
Very near to friend.

Quick Quote
"There are some things he needs to do to level up to friend, such as stop being so self depreciating, mopey, and stuff like that. But he's fine."

Relationship Description
Tom feels like he would enjoy the company of Joseph if he got out of the slump that he seems to always be in and learned to have more fun in life. But it's not like Tom dislikes him, he seems like a decent enough guy beyond the slump.

---

Name of Person
Azhar Zaar

Relationship Status
Acquaintances, but improving.

Quick Quote
"Seems like a decent kid. Wait, is he a kid? Looks like a kid."

Relationship Description
Tom enjoys showing people stuff that they don't already know, so Tom enjoys the company of Zee, who is fairly new to all things American. They haven't interacted much, but it could level up into friend pretty quickly.

---

Name of Person
Samson Wernicke

Relationship Status
Acquaintances, just.

Quick Quote
"He's been... around, I guess. Enough for me to form a vaguely positive opinion of him."

Relationship Description
Samson is a bit of a tough nut to crack for Tom. He doesn't really know him that well at all, and his whole "mysterious forest man" thingy doesn't exactly make it easier.

---

Name of Person
Grace Mok

Relationship Status
Totally friends.

Quick Quote
"Why are you asking me this? We're just friends - yeah, we went to dinner, but it was just a coworker friend dinner-date, it didn't mean anything!"

Relationship Description
Tom enjoys spending time with Grace a lot, even though they're pretty different in personality. Why is he so defensive about just being friends with her? You may never know. Or maybe you will. Either way, that's what he insists.

"Alright, let's start from the top..."

Name of Person
Director Flowers (Powers)

Relationship Status
Basically Father and Son

Quick Quote
"People don't think it's racist when I call him Colonel Fury do they?"

Relationship Description
Like I just said, even if we're technically just employer and employee, we're basically like father and son. He tells me to do something, I probably do it, he decides I didn't do it the way he wanted me to, and then yells at me to get out of his office. Just like my real dad.

That being said, Dad never left me unconscious in the ruins of a Hooters with a broken arm, broken leg, and second degree burns all over my body, let alone it's shitty knockoff.

Douchebags from what I've seen so far.

Quick Quote
"Basically Gilderoy Lockhart if there were twenty of him."

Relationship Description
They're just kind of assholes if I'm being honest. The most personable one I met was the one at the waterpark who tried to kick us all out of the pool because I'm pretty sure she was hiding excalibur in it or something. Then she started hitting on Blaine, which was weird because they're both the same author.

Quick Quote
"Stop trying to step on my schtick you shady kiss-ass!"

Relationship Description
Like I just said, he's a kiss-ass. Apparently he has a scary brutal side or something but I haven't seen it. The most brutal thing I've seen him do is completely deconstruct my attempt to get some interactions with new people, while simultaneously sucking up to Fury so hard he could practically lick the insides of his small intestine.

Enemies maybe?

Quick Quote
"Apparently she isn't a robot, so let's put another tally on the 'disappoint Joseph' list."

Relationship Description
I think we're fighting, but I also don't know who she is. I do know that she sucks at using her staff enough that she couldn't even manage to hit a very very drunk man as he stumbled around a bar, so I'm not particularly worried.

I wanna say... Logan? (Jade)

Relationship Status
Well, I think she probably counts as a co-worker.

Quick Quote
"She's also kind of a suck up, but she's a little funner to be around than the shadow douche."

Relationship Description
We work together, but it's pretty rare for us to actually, you know, work together. I don't interact much with her outside of that either, because most of her screentime as far as I've seen happens when the others have ditched me to go hang out in prison.

Relationship Description
Yeah sure, she's pretty tough, but at the same time, she has the intelligence of a four year old, so I feel like I need to keep an eye on her. She's actually pretty friendly, so I'd hate to see her get hurt over something stupid.

So far, I don't think we've had a conversation where she hasn't called me an idiot. Which is fair, I guess, but it doesn't mean I'm not gonna try to change the little shits mind and make her see how cool I really am! That, or I'll just settle for getting revenge.

Not a friend, but definitely a pal

Quick Quote
"Now this guy knows what's up, at least usually. We drink and trade non-classified info we've each gathered every now and then, so that's pretty neat.

Relationship Description
This guy may not be a horseman, but he's definitely in the area a lot when the rest of us end up in the same place. I like to think of him as the guy blasting the trumpets and heralding our arrival as we descend upon whatever unlucky alcohol serving venue we set our sights on.

If I had to put a name to it, I'd say... Co-worker.

Quick Quote
"Honestly, I'm fine if he wants to flirt with Schematic, I just wish he'd not be so loud and obnoxious about it."

Relationship Description
We don't really interact much unless Bea's around, considering the fact that he follows her around like a bad smell. I think the closest thing we had to an actual conversation was when he was shirtless and flirting with her in the common room, actually. Then when I pointed out all his nipple hairs, he got a little more annoyed than I'd expected. Which was pretty funny, actually...

Personality
On the surface, Grace comes off as a very cool, collected, level-headed person. A soft-spoken girl by nature, Grace prefers analysis over immediate action, and tends to remain quiet and take things in before rushing to conclusions or jumping into action. She tends to seem subdued and lackadaisical, often standing on the sidelines and watching things out with an uncaring expression on her face. Her classic move is to chew gum while watching a fight from the sidelines and throwing her own opinion into the mix. She has a sort of biting sarcasm that seems almost vicious to those that aren't familiar with her. She seems very much uncaring, haughty, and too-good-for you at the surface.

Underneath the surface, though, Grace is a loyal friend, one that is incredibly adaptable and incredibly resolute in her beliefs. Stubborn as a donkey, Grace will firmly stand by what she believes. much of which is a very valiant view of heroism in general. Grace is a very capable, but maybe more importantly, a very determined hero that will fight for a strong cause. Despite on the surface appearing all uncaring, Grace very much has a strong determination within her to fight for heroism. She is also very focused on preventing damage, believing that a hero's duty is to protect civilians and their welfare, and she is visibly annoyed by unnecessary damages.

Grace does have a wilder side to her, but its one that rarely surfaces because of her propensity towards hero work and the like. Though she may regret it at first, Grace's cutting sense of humor and a deep-seated desire for more fun in her life makes her a wild thing that has simply yet to be tamed.

Backstory
Mok Ga-Yun was born to an upper-class family in South Korea. Raised by a family that was part-royalty, Ga-Yun was given a top-tier education in all the subjects, including English, which she was a fan of. By the age of 10, Ga-Yun was well more advanced than her peers in all the subjects, most prominently math, where she had already begun studying the basics of pre-calculus, along with English, in which she was fluent in, along with Korean. She began to adopt the English name Grace, partially because it sounded cool and partially because it sounded somewhat similar to Ga-Yun. "Grace" seemed to be well on-track towards becoming a mathematician or an engineer or something in the field of the sciences or math.

When she was about 12, though, her powers began to surface, and it was clear to Grace that this gift allowed her an even greater opportunity than that of anything else she could have dreamed of. The young girl immediately began to research heroism, professional heroism, and learned of its many benefits. The local hero company sponsored by ICOSA was P.H.A.N.T.O.M., the Pacific Hero Association for the Neutralization of Threats of Malevolence, which broadly covered the areas of Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, much of Oceania including Australia, and occasionally China when their local HERO company, C.H.O.M.P., needed backup. PHANTOM in many ways is the opposite of HERO. Unlike HERO, PHANTOM is very well-regarded and well-respected by ICOSA for their services to the hero community, are known as responsible and easily accountable, and though in terms of raw strength they may be behind, PHANTOM keeps well-ahead in terms of damage control. Grace wanted a position here, so on her 18th birthday, she began a career with PHANTOM.

Bypass, as she became known by, quickly rose through the ranks with prestige. She became a member of PHANTOM's elite task force, the PHANTOM Five, and was named by ICOSA as a "Hero Exemplar," a status bestowed upon only 49 heroes in the world (most of them not from HERO), for her services. Considering that the Leftover amounts in her region had declined significantly and supervillainy was down, Bypass began working more and more closely with ICOSA.

As of now, Bypass currently is still employed with PHANTOM. However, ICOSA has been increasingly putting pressure on HERO to get their act together, and the idea of them sending a Hero Exemplar to help out isn't exactly one they aren't considering. Grace has wanted to go to America for a while, too...hmmm....

Power
Portal

Grace is capable of creating and manipulating rifts in space, allowing her to create portals that can allow near-instant transportation through space quickly. The portals can either be applied to a surface or left midair and Grace can create them rather quickly.

Paired Portals: If a portal is connected to another portal, any object, living or non-living, is sent through to the other open portal extremely quickly. The transition is not smooth and many of those that find themselves going through the portal the first time experience bouts of nausea after doing so, like riding a roller coaster, though Grace has never felt this type of sickness before. Grace is theoretically capable of connecting any two locations instantly, though she finds that maintaining a portal that is farther than her vision can be extremely taxing, especially if the portals are transporting large groups of people. Grace is able to open paired portals that are close to each other relatively quickly, however. Grace is also able to open a paired portal through a surface with ease, allowing individuals to walk through practically any wall with simplicity.

Open Space: When Grace opens a single portal with no exit destination, those that walk through it are transported to Open Space, a strange empty pocket dimension that Grace can control. Open Space is technically inescapable without Grace opening a portal out of it, however, it is very difficult for Grace to maintain objects, especially living matter, in the Open Space for longer than a minute tops, at which point everything inside of the Open Space would be quickly deposited right in front of Grace.

Puzzle Portals: Grace creates more than 2 portals at once. Usually, only two of the Portals are active while the rest lead to Open Space. Grace uses this ability to confuse enemies and thus make an effective getaway.

Portal Discus: Grace can create a flat portal that has no exit destination and use it as a weapon, able to throw it like a discuss. This is one of her primary offensive weapon uses.

Consuming Portal: Grace creates a particularly powerful portal that sucks everything roughly into open space around it. While a destructive ability in practice, Grace has yet to use this ability.

The Complexity Of Space: Grace condenses many portals into a sphere and blasts the sphere. The compacted space then sucks inwards towards the sphere at high velocity. While a destructive ability in practice, Grace has yet to use this ability.

While portals may seem cool, Grace has yet to master the ability in its entirety, though very skilled at its usage. She cannot make portals forever, as the more she creates and the farther apart they are, the more she is drained until she eventually succumbs to unconsciousness.

Overview: Blake von Brandt
_{Workplace Compatibility: 08 / 10 || Social Compatibility: 04 / 10 || Interpersonal Closeness: NA / 10 || Overall Opinion: 10 / 10}

“While I struggle to find a sufficiently useful way to combine our abilities in the field, I feel as though Mister von Brandt is a capable and compassionate hero, and I feel as though my operative team dynamics are well-balanced by his presence.”
_{“Since this is off the record – my cupcake.”}

Angelica finds herself in an awkward situation regarding Blake – she adores him, and adores the overt sappiness of their relationship (which is one of the few places where she breaks her distant demeanor) but some part of her is vaguely embarrassed and ashamed of the whole nature of their workplace-centered relationship. If what Grace has said is true, they’re breaking so many ICOSA regulations… and she despises being that kind of rulebreaker. But – love is love, right?

Overview: Patricia Donnelly
_{Workplace Compatibility: 06 / 10 || Social Compatibility: 09 / 10 || Interpersonal Closeness: 06 / 10 || Overall Opinion: 8 / 10}

"Miss Donnelly is an exemplary hero, especially considering her age and experience. Having completed many of her case files, I feel she is an excellent professional resource and a great candidate for team-building. Exemplary, as I said. Few complaints - well, one. Her public demeanor may need a little bit of work - perhaps a few months of tutoring in public speech would do her professional image some good."
_{"Patricia is a lovely person and she's done so much good for Eliza. She's too burdened by the image of her father, though."}

Angelica admires Patricia's strength and ability to reason (something she thinks many of the other HEROes are lacking in.) She has a lot of sympathy for the younger girl, since her own upbringing was so shaped by having a hero for a father - she can't imagine the stress of going into hero work in the shadow of a villain. Regarding the two's personal relationship, however, there isn't much of one - Angie may call them acquaintances or friends, but she would also liken them both to being housecats who coexist peacefully but don't go out of the way to socialize.

Overview: Jamie Stewart
_{Workplace Compatibility: 03 / 10 || Social Compatibility: 05 / 10 || Interpersonal Closeness: 04 / 10 || Overall Opinion: 05 / 10}

"Reckless and with the reasoning capacity of a four-year-old, it's a wonder that Miss Stewart is not more of a liability to our organization. Still, she has a heart of gold and I appreciate her contributions, all the same. I have seen in her paperwork that damage control training has proven unsuccessful - the public relations manager's comment was that it was a "lost cause" to send her... but regardless of that, I feel some sort of further intervention may be required - perhaps a personal intensive training? For the sake of all of us."
_{"Don't tell Jamie, but she scares me, a bit. While I admire her strength...she's too powerful for her own good."}

Angelica likes Jamie fine as a person - she's sweet, if infuriatingly ditzy - but is mildly terrified of her powers. The pirate dream fucked her up with that one. She feels the two of them have very little in common, and so she has very little interest in interacting with Jamie outside of professional circumstances. Even in professional circumstances, she's seen Jamie lose control too many times to ever fully trust such a powerful hero. Still, though, being mean to Jamie would be like being mean to a small dog, so she's always cordial and pleasant enough.

Overview: Brianna Hart
_{Workplace Compatibility: 08 / 10 || Social Compatibility: 04 / 10 || Interpersonal Closeness: 07 / 10 || Overall Opinion: 07 / 10}

"Miss Hart has some questionable methods and some more-questionable behaviors, but she does her best. While I inquire about the sanity of Director Powers, placing her in charge of something that required more than a modicum of discretion, I do see the potential that he sees in Brianna as well."
_{"Brianna is a wild-card. I appreciate her spontaneity, and wish she were to take some lessons in not blowing people's cover."}

Angelica appreciates Brianna, and is also slightly wary of her. She does not necessarily appreciate the "urban" upbringing that Brie received, and while her skills have proven useful enough, she sometimes has questionable ways of looking at problems, ways that completely violate ICOSA and HERO regulations. Angie does admire Brie's stubbornness, and appreciates the girl's soft spot for leftover creatures, but also somewhat resents the other girl, finding her somewhat of a bad influence on Blake.

Overview: Thomas Rees
_{Workplace Compatibility: 06 / 10 || Social Compatibility: 05 / 10 || Interpersonal Closeness: 04 / 10 || Overall Opinion: 6 / 10}

"Mister Rees is spontaneous enough, I suppose, and certainly has a unique worldview. His ...other antics leave a lot to be desired - might I suggest another HR intervention? Or removing the seating arrangements from the common room..."
_{"I've interacted with him briefly on missions. He's nice enough. I wish he wasn't so irresponsible."}

Angelica has little to say regarding Tom, she thinks he's polite enough and has a good enough head on missions, but he is completely and totally irresponsible. Mostly, she wishes he'd get his act together, because his reputation is such that it tarnishes the image of HERO as a whole. And she feels bad for Grace, pining after his disastrous self.

---

Overview: Joseph Moore
_{Workplace Compatibility: 08 / 10 || Social Compatibility: 06 / 10 || Interpersonal Closeness: 02 / 10 || Overall Opinion: 06 / 10}
"Mister Moore and I get on remarkably well in the office, which is to say he and I leave each other well enough alone to not interfere in each other's office dealings. Beyond his constant unsolicited advice, for which he could likely do with a referral to Human Resources for a refresher, my opinion of him is amicable - though of little substance."
_{"Creepy "mentoring" thing with Liza and Patti aside, he's an odd duck but not an intolerable one. I'm glad he got a head on his shoulders about that whole business, at least."}

As with Tom, Angelica knows more of Joseph than she knows him directly. He's a recluse with self-worth issues; that part she empathizes with more than she cares to admit. But beyond that, while she likes him well enough, she would not consider him a friend or even more than a workplace acquaintance.

Overview: Grace Mok
_{Workplace Compatibility: 08 / 10 || Social Compatibility: 07 / 10 || Interpersonal Closeness: 05 / 10 || Overall Opinion: 08 / 10}
"Miss Mok might be the newest addition to our team, but she is among the greatest contributors. I have no complaints regarding her field record (which is impeccable) nor her ready bonding with the rest of our group. I admire her precision and attention to detail in all matters of her life, professional and personal. Truly, a model HERO for the rest of us.
_{"Grace is a breath of fresh air from the disaster of our group. Sometimes a little bit too fresh... but she's sweet and very practically-minded. Eliza and Patricia both like her, also, so an additional bonus in my book."}

Though Angie doesn't know Grace very well, she has nothing but positive thoughts for the other young woman. Another responsible young hero type, Angie looks to Grace a lot for help mediating and otherwise doing damage control on the antics and miscalculations of the younger heroes.
