[Hider=Calico]Name: Calico

Age: 67

Alignment: Gray (Black Market Dealer)

Background: Calico's background is impossible to nail down. He has no records of existing, and no one can remember anything from him besides the black market.

Personality: Calico is a salesman at heart, and reacts with much enthusiasm to his customers. He's joyful and energetic, and hard not to like.

[Hider=Khan]Name: N / A. Goes by Khan

Age: 56, approximate.

Alignment: Black (Gang Leader)

Background: Rumor is that Khan was a high level member of the Aryan Brotherhood before founding the Kryptonites. And that is was on orders from the Brotherhood that he create the Kryptonites. But exact information is impossible to find on the matter.

His accent is definitely from New York City, and from what little he has spoken about his past has shown strong hints at being born and raised a New Yorker. The odd remark here and there to “the good old days” and other references back to when things were NYC, not Epic City, are strong evidence.

Contrary to the Aryan Brotherhood past, however, the Kryptonites seek to destroy Supers and do not care about race in their own organization. Khan's own views on race and gender do not appear to influence his work.

The Kryptonites' history is simple, if bloody. A small group from several of the big players in the Epic City gangs pitched in together to raise up the Kryptonites. A single moment when the gangs put aside their differences to create something bigger. Something badder. Khan took control, partially by force, but mostly through menuevering and a strong reputation.

Khan has made sure the Kryptonites have no allies or foes in the gang realm, operating without interference. They do follow a rule of reciprocity with the other gangs for relations, so long as it does not involve any intergang diplomacy. Their goal is to kill Supers of any allegiance, and bring Epic City back to New York City.

The Kryptonites have a good stronghold of the city, considering their small size. Khan keeps things on a need to know basis and splintered the group to make it harder to destroy.


Personality: Rutheless. Known to sacrifice members “for the greater good.” He carries himself like a businessman. Superior to others. He doesn't talk down to people, but he expects them to respect him above all.

[Hider=Techster]Name: Howard 'Howie' Sheldon

Age: 15

Alias: Techster

Balance: white

Powers:
[b]Tinker[/b] 
Can create highly advanced tech, upgrade existing text, and fully understand all of that.

Note: his genius is his own, not his power. That merely adds to his Tinker classification. The above is from his own mind.

[b]Specializations[/b] 
[i]Compact Design[/i]: can compact tech, allowing much more to be put into small spaces than us normally possible.

Appearance: Short muddy brown hair and hazel eyes. Stands at 5'7". Almost never seen out of costume.

Costume is of his in design, looks much like a power suit of blue and white. Many devices hide inside the design, many of which haven't been actively seen.

Personality: Proud, excitable, and energetic, he can easily go off topic of not kept in check. Howie is prone to spacing out if not actively engaged, and is quick to tinker with tech to busy himself. He's a bit of a loner, only actively associating with Lady Lust and Mr. Mass.

Background: Howie is the unacknowledged son of Mr. Mass and Lady Lust.

After their split, after their old team died off from various reasons, Lady Lust discovered she was pregnant. After birth she gave the boy up for adoption.

Early on he displayed powers, being possibly the first second generation Epic to exist. He also displayed an incredibly high intelligence, which worked well with his abilities and interests.

Around age ten Lady Lust discovered him again, noting his powers and genius.

He's spent the last five years trying to get to know his biological parents, and as such has only been seen with them.

[Hider=The Shades]The true side of the Kryptonites, these members focus on the killing of all epics. They're highly trained in all forms of weaponry and combat and are sworn to secrecy. They never take credit for kills, and no information exists about them in electronic form. The Shades communicate directly or through hidden and encrypted physical messages. Few members of the Kryptonites know about this group, and the ones that do are members of The Shades. 

Here Khan shows his true side. Viscous. Members follow a strict code, but are not broken. Broken subjects lack strong will, and those without strong will are easy pickings for mind control. Khan has also spent several years developing technology and weaponry based off of Epic powers to combat the epics. Among these are neural implants to prevent mind reading, and to help make it harder for mind control to work. Other tech includes light leather-like armor to help defend from all forms of attacks. Members are also trained extensively in physical combat. Fluid movement, steady balance, controlled attacks, extreme concentration and focus, and more are all part of their training. In all reality, they're modern day military ninjas.
