NPCs

Finn Rohrbach

Appearance Name: Finn Rohrbach Age: 46 Gender: Male Personality: A jumble of thoughts, Finn tends to jumble his words together since his mind works much faster than his mouth. He often has to slow his speech down to snails pace for anyone to understand him. He is ever curious and will always put science above all else, even his own life. He often will not eat while experimenting as it would only slow progress which is why he is so skinny all of the time. He does not socialize outside of his lab and will not normal talk to others unless explaining his latest and greatest experiment. Background: Finn grew up in a home that never believed in him. They all told him he'd be a farmer like his dad, but Finn wanted desperately to prove himself. He got such good grades in school that he got a full ride to a college in America and immediately moved to the states, gaining his citizenship. After graduating, Finn stayed in America and acquired a job nearby a college with his own lab. At first, he wasn't concerned with fighting crime, but certain events led up to this. The discovery of a new, interesting element, Element Zero, as Rohrbach called it, and the murder of his wife, Lucille. Bent on justice, Rohrbach uses this new element to create a band of superheroes to fight crime in his stead.

[chukklehed]

Name: Veronica Lisa Chambers, Vee to her friends Age: 20 Gender: Female Personality: Veronica is generous and kind, almost to a fault. She tends to want to give people what they need and ask nothing in return, which often leaves her broke, and then winds up needing money bad, but somehow it always works out for her. Background: Veronica is majoring in Business, and actually owns her own store, a small cafe called "The Fresh Pot". The cafe is relatively successful, but Veronica usually winds up giving most of her profits to charity. On the most recent occasion, she didn't leave herself enough money to pay her rent, which is why she took the professor's offer. Chosen Pill Color: White Likes: Coffee, Making People Smile, Cooking, Snow Dislikes: Jerks, Hot Weather, Tragedy

[HylianRose]

Penelope

Appearance Name: Penelope Elizabeth Wright Age: 21 Gender: Female Personality: Always the critic, Penelope doesn't like to admit that other people are right, preferring to stubbornly believe what she'd always believed even when presented with concrete evidence. She is very loyal but hard to approach as she always seems to portray this 'Stay away from me,' aura. She enjoys talking after she's had her coffee, but before then, she'll bite even the meekest of persons' head off. Background: An only child, Penelope has almost always gotten things the way she wanted and now as an adult she can't cope with the fact that she has to work for a living. She would rather dream big even if it was completely out there. She craves desperately to be writer but would rather wait for someone to notice her rather than put herself out there. She in college as a creative writing major, hoping to one day write her own novels. Chosen Pill Color: Orange Other: Besides her addiction to coffee, Penelope is addicted to cigarettes and will light one when she is stressed.

[Xaynce]

Name: Orion Striphe Age: 21 Gender: Male Personality: Cold, brisk, and sharp are the three words that describes him. He's generally abrupt to most strangers, and even colder to those he dislikes. It will take a while for you to warm up to him, and vice versa. Generally keeps an aloof behavior, and never allows emotion to cloud his eyes. Can be rather teasing, however, when it suits him, and rather lazy as well. Incredibly intelligent, and skilled when he feels that it requires it. When interacting with those younger than him; children, basically, Orion will usually be kind and older-brotherly, treating them with kindness that belies his usually personality of distance and apathy. However, despite all of this, he has a relatively warm heart with friends, and when among those he likes, he cracks the occasional joke, and can even give helpful, wise advice. Background: Orion went to college to major in Visual and Performance Arts. He possesses a lean, muscular figure, and he's rather good at a variety of dancing and acrobatics - despite his usual appearance of coats and hoodies. He is a quickly advancing young man in the art of capoeira; mostly because of his flexibility and the way swaying and flipping/break-dancing comes easy to him. In general, he had a nice life ahead of him...if only he didn't hit that bottom. Loan sharks, basically. Damn mom apparently sent them his way, since he didn't be a lawyer like she wanted. Whatever. He ended up broke, and this...this would help, the man said. So...why not? He should have been more vigilant. Chosen Pill Color: Black. Other: My pool of powers are 'Telekinesis', 'Shadow Manipulation', and 'Air Manipulation'.

[BuriedComic7]

Name: Dominic Sinclair Age: 21 Gender: Male Personality: Dominic is rather outgoing and easy going. He is fast to trust and wears his heart on his sleeve (traits that have come back to bite him in the ass). Dom is constantly cracking jokes and making quips, trying to keep the mood light (sometimes he does this at inappropriate times, or just doesn’t know when to shut the hell up). Background: Dom is a double major in Psychology and Criminal Justice. He is the first member of his family to attend college, thanks to the magic of government loans and scholarships. However money is incredibly tight and he can barely keep lunch meat in the shitty fridge in his dorm room. After he caught word of the professor’s study he signed up, eager to make a few bucks. Chosen Pill Color: Yellow Likes: Metalcore Music, Dots (the amazing gumdrop candy), Tabletop RPGs Dislikes: Waking Up Early, Unsweet Coffees/Teas, People who over-analyze things.

[Unraveller]

(Thanks to HylianRose for their awesome suggestion!) Name: Ferghus Gilroy Age: 24 (A Bit late to college) Gender: Male Personality: Ferghus is a man who, on the outside, appears to be rather gruff, however anyone who gets to know the guy will soon find out that he is about as gentle as a butterfly. Soft spoken and kindhearted are two defining traits that mister Gilroy prides himself on, although, he has a problem keeping his true feelings about anything in particular to himself. He finds it quite difficult to be secretive and likes to face the consequences of his action head on. Background: Ferghus is an Irishman who spent the majority of his life performing in his family's traveling circus. From the very day he could walk and talk his father began training the boy to be a great strongman like himself. Ferghus was able to see all sorts of people across his life and due to such he developed a rather detached worldview and morality. Sure, times were fine for him and his family, but Ferghus was never schooled resulting in him being unfortunately uneducated, this frustrated him to no end, there were so many things that he could not understand. Beginning in his teenaged years Ferghus bought as many books as he could, studying things such as simple mathematics to skimming over sciences. And though it took the poor boy nine tries he finally passed the test in order to get a General Educations Diploma. But this was only his first step. Ferghus hoarded the money earned from the days and nights spent performing and put it towards a fund for college. Traveling to a mediocre college that his money could buy in to Ferghus knew that the road would be harsh and unforgiving. Always with a curiosity for knowledge and the arts, the strongman majored in English literature, in hopes that he would one day be able to write stories as eloquently as the greats before his time. Unfortunately, the boy was unable to do much research on what life would be like during college, money was short and it might have been all over quick, if he hadn't gotten word that there was some sort of opportunity for him. Some scientist named Rohrbach or something, he had no where else to turn to. Ferghus plunged himself into a future that would almost certainly be fraught with hardships. The purple pill was swallowed without a second thought. Chosen Pill Color: Purple pill / Super Agility Other: Ferghus has a tiny bit of skill in forms of brawling due to his days as a young circus strongman, although he is more a mountain of thought and reflection than a burly tough guy.

[Madame_March]

Name: Heather Wilson Age: 21 Gender: Female

My Hider

Personality: Heather is very competitive, going to great lengths to win anything she has set her sights on. The only place she is not as competitive is her actual school work. When it comes to other matters, Heather is very focus and is not afraid to be harsh to get what she wants. She is also very outgoing, confident, and loves to laugh, even if it is sometimes at the expense of others. It should also be noted that Heather’s temper is very short and explosive. She is not afraid to snap on something if they set her off, unfortunately this means that she tends to say or do things she may regret later. Background: Since Heather could walk, her parents expected the world out of her. She was captain of the t-ball team, sold the most Girl Scout cookies three years in a row, played softball and volleyball in middle school, and was enrolled in all the honor classes. It looked like the perfect family, but not so much. Her parents fought and Heather always felt her accomplishments were the only thing that kept her parents happy. In highschool her parents finally had enough of each other and split. Without the pressure of her parents’ divorce looming over, Heather decided to rebel instead of obeying. Heather failed out of the honors classes (She cheated anyway) Dropped from almost all her clubs and found that partying with the rich kids was more her style. The only activity Heather remained enrolled in was track, because running was the only thing that made sense. Good thing she kept with track too, because it turned out she was good enough for a scholarship. Heather majored in health and physical fitness with the aspiration to become a personal trainer while running college track, and at first things went well. But Heather started partying again and things began to spiral. Her grades dropped too low, she was placed on probation from sports, and her scholarship was lost. Luckily, she scrapped together enough money from her parents and student loans to remain for another semester. Now she is trying to raise her grades to reapply for her scholarship and trying to live without track for a semester. Maybe this new program will help her take her mind off things and the extra money couldn’t hurt. :Chosen Pill Color: Red Likes: Running is the first thing that comes to mind. After that, Heather likes red bulls, apples and anything apple flavor, early mornings, the occasional joint, and a good college party. Dislikes: seafood, cats, and people who can’t fucking drive.

[Driving Park]

Name: Emily Clarke Age: 22 Gender: Female Personality: Emily goes through life at a relaxed pace, even when everyone around her is in a rush. She leaves no page unturned and no decision unplanned, quietly confident in herself and those around her. She is very logical and doesn't bring attention to herself, yet she enjoys the finer things in life and is thus commonly seen wearing...well, things like in her picture. She practices tai chi and is known to meditate on occasion. All this doesn't mean she has no sense of humor, however; she's always searching for a song to sing and a laugh to share. Background: Emily had an idyllic upbringing, raised in the suburbs by an upper middle class family. She quickly decided to refuse financial assistance from anyone (especially her parents), viewing "old money" as undeserved. When old enough to work, she started from scratch, working anywhere that would hire her. A string of jobs including receptionist jobs, a long stint at Chipotle and the occasional modeling gig eventually earned her enough money to afford higher education, and she enrolled in college as soon as she could. Studying to become an architect, she now works a part-time job as a receptionist for the university. Although she has a steady flow of income, the lucrative nature of Project Olympia combined with her scientific "why not?" conclusion drew her to the experiment. Chosen Pill Color: Maroon Other: Emily can often be found with headphones on her ears. She usually serenades herself to the sweet sounds of the Alan Parsons Project, and enjoys singing despite never taking any lessons or being in choir.

[TheHangedMan]

Name: Ray Joe Ali Johnson Age: 19 Gender: Male Personality: Tough, hardworking and determined are the traits he is most identified with. He hates being treated as weak and moreover hates other people being weak. Joe honestly believes that a person that doesn't stand up for themselves is pathetic and is just making excuses. Joe when outside of work or studies likes to have fun and goof off. Despite all appearances however, he is actually intelligent and knowledgeable about various topics, as well as talented and skilled in numerous daily tasks such as cooking; those close to him dubbed him as a true 'Renaissance Man' - a master of multiple things. This is not quite true though: Everything he does is done out of a desperate need to avoid going back to his former lifestyle. It has made him reckless, cynical, and prone to self-destructive actions. Finally, the thing that can be considered a true weakness is his inability to trust a woman under any circumstance - no matter the consequence. Background: He was born as the son of an aspiring boxer and his High school sweetheart. Named after the greatest boxers the world as ever seen, his father hoped to raise him and create a great boxer out of him. He only got to do half of that. His father died just before he could sign a deal for his first Title Fight due to a car crash. At the time, Joe was 8 years old. His mother, 24 at the time, who had taken care of him up until that point went into depression, before leaving him with his neighbors and disappearing. He resented her ever since. Two years passed, and his life was living hell. His neighbors wife hated him greatly and saw him only as an extra burden. She repeatedly beat him and constantly drove him out of the house. The only reason she didn't kick him out completely was because her husband owed a debt of gratitude to his father, and actually liked him. Still, there was a limit to how much a person could endure. One day, he snapped and just . . . knocked her out. All it took was one hit and a ten year old boy knocked out a fully grown adult. Joe had definitely inherited his fathers genes. Still, out of fear or retribution, he ran out of the house and hid in a nearby park. The park, incidentally, was the training ground of a particular gym owner, who specialized in boxing. Like a moment of true destiny, the man found Joe and in an awkward attempt to snap him out of his depression, began an impromptu boxing session. Joe loved every minute of it. The man, Terry Finkles, was so impressed with him that he invited him to practice at his gym for free. He accepted. As soon as he got back home, he told his aunt and uncle about his meeting with Terry, and announced his intent to become the worlds best boxer. His neighbor was glad to see his father in him, and his wife was glad just to have him out more. Joe took odd jobs once he was fifteen to earn money for himself, and practiced constantly in the gym. Another event occurred, however, and all the money he had earned was stolen by a girl that pretended to be in love with him, and indirectly ruined his reputation in the gym. His distrust towards women solidified even more. The only person that he had left to trust was himself and Terry, he decided. Currently, he is practicing for his debut on the international boxing stage. Chosen Pill Color: Brown Other: Really, really good at boxing, cooking and cleaning.

[Bleu Chess]

Name:

Felyse Edwen

Age: 19 Gender: Male Personality: “Never judge a books by its cover” is a well-applied saying but, with Felyse, he is exactly as he appears. Whimsical and overly-eccentric, he is a kid at heart and impulsive to boot. He is, without a doubt, a teen with too few marbles and an insatiable curiosity for places considered off limits [WARNING: Reverse psychology might just backfire. Maybe. Maybe not]. With an easy-going attitude, he tackles any situation with an optimistic view and a bundle of playful insights. However, this positive attitude can easily be a double-edged sword as he can be seen as naïve, innocent, or too idealistic. He refuses to think things through or even the consequences of his actions. As a rule he follows, he shall have no regrets. He shall call out “YOLO.” Background: Felyse was a free spirit, having a rather lax upbringing in a simple home. He was mostly left to his own device ever since his parents took one look at their recently-turned-goth daughter, then at their son's purple bunny-eared hat, and went “NOPE, can’t handle this.” His parents encourage exploration and free will, and expected nothing out of him. Chained down with neither expectations nor dreams, he is struck with the ideal of finding passion and happiness. The second child to a relatively normal family, Felyse like to consider himself a “jack-of-all-trade.” Majoring in the undecided, Felyse tried his hands at various skills, only to – all too often – lose interest in any skill he pursues after a few weeks. Cooking, sports, dancing, drama – he had been through it all as he stride through clubs like some home invader exploring for prospective wealth; although, he occasionally revisit these skills at a later date, leading to a very varied shallow skill set. It wasn’t long before he finally dipped his hands in gambling, easily drawn into the idea of earning thousands of dollars within a single game and losing the clothes on your back with a simple toss of a coin. Eventually, as time went by, he took it as a source of entertainment, losing and winning on a whim with a smile on his face. His earnings were never steady; his wallet filled with either a wad of cash for a day or a piece of lint for a whole month since he never takes gambling seriously – or have the slightest idea of budgeting. He was more than happy to act as a guinea pig for the good professor when Rohrbach approached him with Project Olympia. Who’s gonna turn down the chance of free drugs, getting paid along the way? That green lime-looking pill is looking rather tempting… Chosen Pill Color: Lime green Other: Felyse is a pretty dated guy, using words that are equally as dated like “bodacious” or “hodgepodge.” He has an admiration for cinema and movies from all decades. Watching black-and-white films are his greatest pleasure as well as wearing hats of various designs. He’s never seen without some form of headgear.
