Real Name:
Marlin A. Lowell

Superhero Alias:
Magus

Age:
16

Gender:
Male

Species:
Human

Powers:

Sorcery
Magus is a sorcerer. Able to tap into the mystical energy known as magic which permeates the universe to perform various fantastical feats. By expending energy contained within himself, Magus can cast various magical attacks. Magus' spells and abilities normally manifest as raw magical energy, from magical attacks (bolts, lightning, arcane energy with flame-like characteristics etc) to basic constructs (force-fields and barriers).

Telekinesis is also at Magus' disposal, although he struggles to lift more than one object at a time with it. As such, Magus normally uses it to simulate flight by lifting himself instead.

Of course, Magus cannot cast spells indefinitely. Magic requires energy provided by the user, and casting too many spells can easily leave Magus exhausted. Certain spells also require incantations, and interrupting the incantations to these spells will nullify the spell.

As one can imagine, objects or creatures immune to magic are also a problem for Magus.

Abilities:

Basic Hand-to-hand Combatant
Magus is one of the least physically talented members of the Teen Sentinels, but is still more proficient at hand-to-hand combat than the average person.

Occult Knowledge
Being an adept magic user, Magus has extensive knowledge of various spells and magical items, and knows how to create potions and perform various magical rituals.

Equipment

Ars Magiam
Magus' tome, known as Ars Magiam, is a magical catalyst that allows him to channel more powerful and complex spells, such as a swirling ball of magical energy, or a greatsword made from magic that slashes before disappearing. Many of the pages in the book are empty, needing to be filled with spells that Magus finds or creates. Losing the book means losing access to the spells.

Weaknesses:

Only Human
Despite having magical prowess, Magus' physiology is still only that of a human. As such, he's just as vulnerable to physical attacks as the average human is.

Personality:
Magus is a calm and collected individual, preferring to follow the pace of everyone else, rather than setting his own. The young sorcerer makes it a point to be friendly to everyone, save for those he feels deserve otherwise. Villains and criminals often receive sarcastic and snide remarks in the place of friendliness. Magus occasionally throws his sarcastic remarks at his teammates too, normally in good spirits though.

Time spend reading books both magic and mundane have made Magus far more knowledgeable and worldly, and he can often impart sound wisdom to other members of the group. Provided they find him on a good day...

Still, Magus' almost laid-back personality can prove to be problematic when it means he doesn't do anything. Following the pace of everyone else means he shows little initiative in much beyond crime-fighting and advancing himself in sorcery.

Brief Backstory:
Magus' history and lineage is one laced with magic and sorcery. Anyone can learn to manipulate magic - the substance that permeates the universe, but some simply have a natural edge at manipulating the arcane. From an early age, Magus has had an affinity for sorcery - as to be expected, given that Magus is a descendant of the legendary Merlin: immortal wizard, scholar, and - when the boy's parents perished through an uncanny accident - the legal guardian of Magus. In fact, Magus' acts of heroism were at the behest of his wizard caretaker, because "that hero stuff is what you young'uns like to do, right?"

Real Name:
Bailey Cooper

Superhero Alias:
D-Code

Age:
16

Gender:
Male

Species:
Human

Powers:
Technological Possession: Bailey has the ability to merge his physical form with any form of technology, gaining complete control over it. The possessed technology turns a deep crimson in color with various black circuits spread over the surface. Bailey is able to alter the structure and function of the afflicted machinery beyond it's intended purposes, within reason. For example, he can take control of a desktop computer and grant it the ability to fire lasers from the screen.

While possessing a machine, Bailey is weak to anything that is generally bad for technology. Electricity can fry his circuits, an EMP can temporarily shut down his control of the machine and he can even be susceptible to cyber-viruses that will disorient and afflict him like a common cold would a human. Needless to say any physical damage to the machine will also hurt him.

Abilities:
IT Nerd: Bailey is a very tech savvy young man and can work his way around a computer with exceptional skill. His ability to code and program is top tier and his superhero alias, D-Code, is well known across the country as a fearsome hacker. He exposes corrupt politicians, CEO's and other influential figures by cracking their personal accounts; bringing light to their corruption and sharing it with the world. He's also quite good at video games, which he likes to brag about to the other Sentinels. He maintains a gaming blog/stream in the majority of his off time which he is very proud of despite his lackluster popularity.

Photographic Memory: Bailey has very high rote memory capabilities, able to memorize most things he sees in great detail after only seeing it once or twice. However he tends to be quite a space case and rarely recalls anything actually useful unless there is a sufficient visual or audio prompt for him to go off of.

Equipment:
Lil' Slugger: Bailey doesn't usually rely on fighting without his power, but he does carry around his trusty aluminum baseball bat just in case he needs to whack a baddie.

Smartphone: Bailey wouldn't be caught dead without his phone.

Personality:
Bailey is your stereotypical dissatisfied teenage youth who thinks he's so much more cooler than you because he posts long-winded essays about his opinions onto random internet message boards. He has a smug aura about him and likes to talk a big talk to the other Sentinels, but lacks the physical strength or motivation to really follow through. Even despite his lack of ambition, Bailey is extremely competitive and easily jibed into aggressive contest with his peers with a few throwaway remarks regarding his skills. Though his tendency to get distracted easily usually leads to him losing said contests.

Even despite his rather egotistical attitude, he is perceived as quite shy when not hiding behind the anonymity of a computer screen. He has a habit of speaking using internet slang in normal conversation, which most find rather perplexing. He'll even make obscure references to video games in real life as if his own existence is a game to be won. There is a nagging persistence in the back of his mind to be useful to the other Sentinels; an insecurity which usually leads him to not taking criticism from them very well.

Truthfully, Bailey is only known to really give his all to the select few interests he devotes most of his time to; blogging, hacking and gaming. While most will write him off as an unmotivated slacker, his fellow Sentinels have seen the fiery glint in his eyes as his fingers fly across the keyboard to secure some valuable intel for his team's latest mission. His addictive personality turns him into a force to be reckoned with when he decides to devote himself entirely to a cause.

Brief Backstory:
Another foster child raised in the bustling heart of Rush City, Bailey wasn't what you'd consider a particularly eye catching kid. Yet despite his generic appearances, the young boy was born with a natural affinity towards technology. It was as if his physical body could deeply resonate with the machines; a strange power which he honed over the years. Unfortunately, Bailey did not originally use his powers for good. Rather, he would use his ability to hack and manipulate technology for petty vengeance against any kids who bullied him or anyone on the various online communities he frequented who annoyed him.

Eventually his petty crimes caught the attention of the Sentinels, who easily found him. In a rather pathetic display, the young man bawled his eyes out and begged for their forgiveness. Seeing Bailey as simply a young man led astray rather than a villain, he was taken under their wing. With the Sentinels, Bailey would turn a new leaf and become known as D-Code; a hacker famous across America as a Sentinel who exposed the various scandals among the political and business world.

While he likes to act cool, the Sentinels are the first real family Bailey has ever had and he cares for them deeply.

Arc Ideas:
Hack the Planet: Tensions rise among the Sentinels as a series of cyber crimes begin terrorizing the citizens of Rush City. To make matters worse; Bailey's superhero persona, 'D-Code', is being labelled as the prime suspect. Desperate to clear his name, and worrying that his team mates will accuse him of returning to his old ways, he begs the Sentinels to help him catch the true culprit behind this hacking spree.

Big Boys Don't Cry: Bailey begins to question his place in the Sentinels after a series of screw ups on the groups latest missions cause the team to grow more frustrated with him. Bailey, wishing to be seen as a valuable member of the team, recklessly attempts to go after a major villain on his own. He ends up being caught and held hostage by said villain, who uses him as leverage against the Sentinels.

Other:
Despite being a shut-in, one of Bailey's favorite things to do with the other Sentinels is have a fun game of baseball.

Bailey's role in the Sentinels is less of an offensive one, and more akin to that of a Navigator. He provides them with Intel as well as uses his abilities to ensure that the teams missions run smoothly. He does have combat potential, but is not nearly as effective as his teammates.

Character Theme: One More Chance!!

Real Name:
Lucille Thorne

Superhero Alias:
Morningstar

Age:
16

Gender:
Female

Species:
Half-Devil

Powers:
Morningstar possesses what some would consider the "standard array" of superpowers; she is capable of unaided flight (whilst it takes her a while to build up speed, if given enough time she can break the sound barrier), and possesses superhuman strength and durability (allowing her to lift cars with little strain and cause bullets to bounce off her, although heavier firepower will knock her about a bit). She is naturally adapted to intense heat, with mundane fire not really affecting her at all, and possesses a prehensile tail and small yet sharp horns. In addition, she is able to create blinding flashes of magical light, as well as fire out concussive blasts of light from her hands (which she erroneously refers to as lasers).
Due to her demonic nature, however, she possesses a couple of notable weaknesses. Direct exposure to silver will cause her pain (and weapons of silver are able to easily wound her), and magic is able to bypass her supernatural defences to affect her like it would any normal human.

Abilities:
Lucille doesn't really have many skills that are practical for superhero work, as she isn't really trained in any kind of fighting style; she tends to just rely solely on her superior strength rather than any kind of technique, which can sometimes lead to her being overwhelmed by a more skilled opponent. She's a bit of a nerd, really, and is pretty good at videogames in addition to being a fast reader... And that's about it, really. Well, she's a decent cook too, if you like spicy food. She seems completely incapable of making anything that isn't mouth-searingly hot.

Equipment:
Lucille does not possess any specific equipment, relying on her innate powers rather than fancy gadgets for fighting crime.

Personality:
One would expect the child of a demon lord to be a dark, brooding soul for whom joy and happiness are almost anathema, but Morningstar is... Not exactly that kind of person. She's quite the opposite, actually, a vivicious optimist who believes in the inherent goodness of all. Some would think she's a bit of a Pollyanna, and that she's far too forgiving of wrongdoers (and especially of those who judge her by her appearance and demonic nature), but she can't help it, it's just the way she is. Unfortunately, this also leads her to be a bit niave and overly trusting, as well as somewhat self-sacrificing; she'll give her all to protect the innocent and help those in need, even if it kills her. Aside from that, she's just... Kind of a cheerful dork, really, and kind of a superhero fangirl; her room is full of memorabilia and merchandise of more established heroes, and she is unable to keep from gushing if she ever meets one.

Brief Backstory:
One look at the teenage superhero Morningstar makes it abundantly clear that she's not entirely human; the red skin, golden eyes, horns and tail mark her as the child of a demon. Her father is not just any demon, however; for he is Magnamalus the Shining Darkness, one of the most powerful demon lords of the lower realms, a being who claims to have been the inspiration for devilish figures in several mythologies and religions throughout history (although don't they all?). The child Lucille was concieved on Earth not only to do his bidding but to act as a link between the mortal world and the lower realms, to stand at the head of the infernal legions during the final battle between good and evil...

But unfortunately for Magnamalus and fortunately for humanity, Lucille didn't really care much for the whole "evil" thing. Far too enamoured with the wonders of the mortal world, she quickly decided that she didn't really want to see it corrupted, dominated and desolated by the forces of the lower realms. Not only that, but she found herself rather fond of the superheroes who protected it, and it didn't take long for her to realize that it would be a much better usage of her powers to act as one! So without much thought she quickly threw on a costume and began flying about her home, Rush City, trying her best to protect the people she'd been created to conquer.

Arc Ideas:

• Her father, Magnamalus, is a pretty obvious stand-in for the likes of Trigon, Mephisto and, well, Satan, which... Well it speaks for itself, really.
• There's no way to deny the fact that Morningstar looks rather demonic, and some members of the public, as well as some superpowered individuals, are not exactly fond of her because of this.
• Lucille might not be the only child of Magnamalus out there...

Real Name:Ken Yamato

Superhero Alias: Rising Son

Age:16

Gender:
Male

Species:
Human

Powers:
Ken was part of an experiment by his businessman/scientist father to understand the scientific underpinnings of 'Ki energy'. To that end, he raised his own son to be a perfect example of Ki cultivation, teaching him martial arts, having him sleep in a special chamber which regulated his breathing patterns and shut out his senses while further programming his sleeping mind with more martial arts training, and regularly dosing him with an experimental compound he dubbed 'The Satori Serum'.

As a result he can use 'ki' to temporarily enhance his senses and physical abilities to low-superhuman levels, sense various energies while intensely concentrating, and heal himself and others. His signature technique is the Tranquil Fist, an ability that can only be used when he's able to access a state of meditative tranquility that allows him to focus all of his energy into his fist and punch with immense power.

Rising Son no longer needs regular doses of the Satori Serum to maintain his powers. However things like intense fatigue, emotional stresses and inability to maintain the right breathing rythmns weaken his ki powers.

Abilities:
Martial Arts- As part of his father's experiment, Rising Son was trained by the best martial artists his father's significant resources could afford for hours on end every day of his life, while at night the pod he slept in subliminally taught him further martial arts in his sleep. As a result he's an extremely skilled martial artist for his or any age and his skills in the martial arts are his primary tool for crime fighting, with his powers supplementing his abilities. He's mostly skilled in eastern martial arts, Jujitsu, Karate, Shaolin and Wudang Kung Fu being his initial studies. He also has some knowledge of other martial arts including ninjutsu, Kali and Muay Thai.

Acrobatics and Free-running-As part of his intensive fitness training, Rising Son was trained to be extremely acrobatic and even incorporates his acrobatics somewhat in combat to evade and outmaneuver his enemies, as well as using a combination of acrobatic moves, Monkey Kung Fu and Free-Running to travel in a hurry.

Stealth-While not the absolute stealthiest around, when it's called for Rising Son's ninjutsu training has taught him how to be rather stealthy and decent at infiltrating places he's not supposed to be.

Multi-lingual-Rising Son speaks fluent English, Japanese and Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese.

Business Sense-Theoretically at least, Rising Son understands business strategy and economics well enough to have the foundations needed to one day run his father's business. However he's rather fond of thinking of it all in terms of The Art of War.

Equipment:
A special bo staff created by his father once Rising Son began fighting crime, it can split into two shorter batons or be divided into three and connected by a length of chain for use as a Three Section Staff/occasional grapple.

Personality:
Rising Son is a study in contradictions, raised to be able to access a state of perfect calm and studying Taoist, Shinto and Buddhist philosophies when he wasn't training, but also thrilled to be on his own in the outside world. He's rather naive in a lot of ways as apart from being allowed out to attend a few business meetings in a ceremonial role, making appearances as a sort of corporate mascot for the Yamato Corporation and fighting crime, he has no real life experience.

Ancient philosophies and laboratory life aren't really conducive to a social life, and while he's had many different teachers, Rising Son hasn't really had many friends or dealt with normal teenage life. As such he's thrilled to be in Rush City on his own and at the possibility of making friends. Whether he knows what to do afterward though is an entirely different question.

Brief Backstory:
Ken Yamato is the second son of genius inventor and scientist Doctor Touma Yamato, who had long ago used his profitable inventions to become incredibly rich and branch out into every industry he could get his hands on in order to get more resources for his experiments while also living in luxury, though helping the people of Japan was a nice bonus to both his conscience and Public Relations. One of these experiments involved studying the supposedly mythical nature of ki energy in a scientific manner, and the good Doctor Yamato used his youngest son Ken as the primary subject of the study.

He started by having his son begin sleeping in a special pod that helped regulate his breathing, deprived him of his senses at night and later subliminally taught him martial arts in his sleep. As soon as Ken was old enough, he also started hiring numerous tutors to teach him martial arts and meditation techniques during the day. He tailored Ken's daily exercise routine and diet to encourage him to the peak of human physical fitness and allegedly cultivate his ki. As the boy grew, Doctor Yamato further encouraged him to study spiritual fields relevant to the nature of Ki and the meditating mind while increasing the intensity of his training both waking and sleeping.

Finally, the regimen began showing some results and Ken manifested some small ability to manipulate his own ki. However, this wasn't enough for his father. Doctor Yamato was eager to test a new theory on Ki, and began dosing Ken with a special blend of chemicals and ancient alchemical ingredients he called his 'Satori Serum', which resulted in an instant and massive multiplication of Ken's ki and abilities. Thrilled with his success, Doctor Yamato continued to regularly dose Ken with slightly tweaked versions of the Satori Serum until a permanent, noticeable change was achieved, congratulating himself on a successful experiment.

Shortly after Ken received his last dose of Satori Serum at the age of twelve, the infamous Phantom Thief Kabuki broke into the YamatoCorp headquarters seeking to steal the formula for an unknown employer. Ken was able to successfully fight off Kabuki and retrieve the formula in a nighttime battle across Tokyo that became heavily publicized.

Doctor Yamato sensed a unique public relations and merchandising opportunity as well as a chance to test the limits of his experimental subject. Therefore, Ken was re-branded in the public eye as The Rising Son, a superhero purposefully created by YamatoCorp to save Japan from evildoers that might threaten it. Rising Son served as a combination Super Hero/Corporate Mascot until just this year, when he ran away to Rush City to live his own life on his own terms.

Arc Ideas:

The Phantom Thief Kabuki arrives in Rush City, trying to steal several valuable artifacts with characteristic flair! After getting our heroes attention, he challenges Rising Son to settle their rivalry once and for all, but is there something more complicated and deadly afoot?!

Ken's older brother Tensai has arrived in Rush City with a high-tech power suit and an army of scientifically armed corporate henchman along for the ride. He says that Rising Son's name, likeness and powers are the trademarked property of YamatoCorp and that Rising Son is coming back to Japan with him, but Rai doesn't want to go!

Kids around Rush City are suddenly displaying strange superhuman powers, and Rai senses ki energy similar to his own at each of the incidents. Worse yet, whatever's giving the kids these powers leaves them burned out and puts dangerous amounts of stress on their bodies and minds after just a few hours. Rai thinks that the Satori Serum may be to blame, but how is it getting on the streets, and more importantly why?!

Real Name:
Lilith Faust

Superhero Alias:
Mistress Justice

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Species:
Human

Powers:
Lilith bears the powers of a figure upholding justice; as such, she gains considerable strength when fighting in favour of law and even possesses partly ethereal, mystical resistance from the moral force she represents. This is mainly demonstrated from her being unaffected by magical powers, able to transcend what others could not as a way of upholding morality and presenting herself as a hero who should be seen as a force to be reckoned with by those who would dare spit in the name of justice, liberty and fate.

Though blinded for a lack of discrimination, Mistress Justice senses evilness from those who perpetuate it, with a range extending beyond normal human vision, yet unable to identify obstructions between her and the criminal. Thus, she will force herself through anything in the way that isn't a living being, such as buildings and bridges, though her heightened strength in this form allows her to remain unharmed and unhindered when seeking out evil-doers, unless their power overwhelms her. This power is granted from her scales of justice, allowing her to be able to see between the good guys and the bad guys.

One of the spirit's weaknesses, however, is that her binding to justice and fate forces her to even punish her allies if they tip the scales, and will not be willing to save a person's life if their crime's have deemed them to this result. If Lilith ever overpowered her hero's own restrictions as a favour to her friends, she could risk the persona altogether as she could be seen as an insubordinate host.

Abilities:
Lilith has developed her own ability for sword-faire, outside of her heroic persona, as a result of her taking fencing as an extra-curricular activity. However, it is often unlikely that her skill for this is demonstrated, due to the sword of justice only materalising when adorning the blindfold of justice, meaning that she relies upon her rapier as an extension of this trait.

In addition, the young girl is also a cheerleader for her local high school's football team, which permits her disciplined gymnastic skills in addition to being a boost to moral when she has to sit on the sidelines. Although, she can admittedly be quite annoying after a while.

Equipment:
Lilith's primary piece of equipment for crime fighting is her blindfold of justice, enchanted by the spirit herself to allow Lilith to become a tangible form of Lady Justice, blessing her with the sword and scales of justice, yet only whilst in this form. It is indestructible by most forms of might and will not grant powers to anybody that wears it, yet its powers can be withheld from Lilith and it can be taken away altogether if she goes against liberty's will.

As well as this, she also has her sabre for her fencing practice, which is easily made a dangerous weapon in her hands, allowing her to strike at enemies in swift, valiant movements.

Personality:
Without her heroic persona, Lilith is a bright and cheery girl who loves being a beacon to those around her, a guiding light for the weary and caring for those in need, yet deep down she has a vicious side for those who would seek to take advantage of her because of her hospitable nature. In addition to this, the young woman is vigilant and brave and will not back down from the face of evil, even when she is without her heroic form.

Whilst Mistress Justice, the heroine is empowered by the spirit in place of being possessed by it, granting her the characteristics of a steadfast leader who is compassionate for the safety of her team in addition to gaining the ability to plan strategically and go into battle in a sensible manner than without a plan.

Brief Backstory:
Lilith was a generally well-liked girl; a model student with a plethora of extracurricular activities that made her popular not just with other pupils, but with teachers too, often envied by those who could not find their footing in school. Her life was considerably normal for the majority of it, with her disregarding most of the global threats in hopes of the heroes of the world saving the day, yet even the most ordinary of lives can be twisted and malformed within a single action.

One day, whilst wandering the city at night after fencing practice, the young girl was accosted by two large brutes who viciously asked for all of her belongings. Being brave, or quite frankly idiotic, Lilith refused them and drew her sword, prompting one of them to draw their gun, unseen to her, and fire a bullet directly at her head. Whilst this deathly sound would have claimed a life that night, Lady Justice paused time for that singular moment for everyone besides Lilith, presenting the girl with the blindfold that drew upon her power, before disintegrating the bullet and smiting the two criminals, leaving them incapacitated. The reasoning for Lilith being a viable host was that it did not follow destiny for her to die in that moment, and so she had become a product of order and balance which in turn transformed her being into one that could bear the powers of justice and be host to its law.

Now with her own power to uphold the law, the heroine found herself more suitably applicable within a team of other young people who seek to keep balance in the world and care for the meek, so she sought out the Sentinels and is willing to lend her abilities in favour of peace and justice.
