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.
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
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 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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
