[hider=Starbright] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/65/fb/5f/65fb5f38f3c826242c67ba3d09710478.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Name[/b] Noah Bell [b]Hero Name[/b] Starbright [b]Gender[/b] Male [b]Age[/b] 19 [b]Date of Birth[/b] August 13th [b]Physique[/b] Noah doesn't have a mark, scar or bruise on his body. Standing at 6 foot 3 and with a muscular physique. The picture describes him well. He is consider remarkably attractive. [b]Blood Type[/b] AB [b]Locations[/b] Lives in Kingsdale Patrols mainly in New Athens and East Flank. [b]Occupation[/b] Hero and Star [b]Affiliation[/b] H.E.R.O. [b]Tier[/b] Low B tier hero, S tier celebrity (fans often write in about the maltreatment of Starbright only being B tier when he has in fact done very little heroism so far. This is encouraged by Starbright.) [b]Personality[/b] Noah is a celebrity and he certainly acts the part. He is hot s*** right now and he knows it. This bring with it an ego of course and he often displays it when the camera isn't on him. Sometimes even talking down to higher tier heroes who he considers unattractive and 'not worth the spotlight'. When the camera is on him however he is the embodiment of heroism and kindness. Despite his popularity he doesn't actually do a lot of heroics. Often trying to bring things to a peaceful solution than 'dirtying himself with conflict'. This often comes in the form of using his star power and looks to find some kind of surrender. [b]Backstory[/b] It seemed from birth Noah was meant to be a star, he was certainly raised to be one anyway. Singing and dancing lessons were set up for him the second he could be signed up. He didn't even like singing lessons and it was clear he didn't have a great deal of talent in it, but what he did like was the attention it got him. His mom of course did everything in her power to have him achieve 'his' dream, and eventually he grew into it. Now he stands as a pop star using auto tune in most of his songs. He had the look everyone told him that but he just needed a leg up in the singing department to be the best that everyone told him he deserves. And with adoring fans in those numbers of course he deserved it all, right? Seeing a market to be even more popular the whole hero thing looked like a no brainer of course he would sign up. But great tragedy struck his life when he only got a B! This was an outrage, a travesty how could he only be a B tier hero. Noah is now determined to show the hero agency how wrong they are to only put him in B and for that he will put on a show every time he goes into fight a villain. [b]Powers[/b] Sunlight Short Version: Noah fires lasers of light. Long Version: When Noah poses he creates beams of light to fire in front of him. He is able to pose and not fire them. He may be able to fire them without posing, he wouldn't know, hes never tried it. [b]Techniques[/b] Being ridiculously, like super duper attractive: Noah uses his looks and presentation to get what he wants. Weaknesses: The lasers don't damage that much and is very unreliable to incapacitate people. Personally Noah doesn't like to get into scraps either so he is naturally non-combat oriented. [hider=Theme] You might need to disregard the genders in the lyrics [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tVmLQFedxc[/youtube] [/hider] [hider=Starbright thoughts and relationships] Blake: I cant be seen with him in public after the whole destroying the club of the most influential heroes thing. Never the less seems cool and probably the kind of dude I'd hang out with in my off time. If a had any. Patricia: Patricia is fun... to toy around with. The ease at which she get annoyed well, that's just good fun. Frankly I dont mind that shes jealous of me. Wings of Law: God I hate them. They are the embodiment of what fame can do to someone. Disgusting, some people just aren't cut out for the spotlight. Speaking of which, I hope I can cut them out of the spotlight myself. Tom: So the social media star betrays his friends for a shot at real fame. Whats new? Grace: It was so nice to just be other places in seconds. I need someone like that to work for me, I could do away with cars and do a whole eco friendly angle. Sadly, I don't think she will take the job. Eliza: How could I be more popular right now? I'll tell you how launching the 'shy kid' into the spotlight with a breakout song. Add yeah... I guess theres a part of me that wants to help her improve. The BULLET: Its about time I got some appreciation around here. Everywhere I go in HERO its as if none of them listens to my music. Its so refreshing to have a fan around. Pandora: Oh yeah, she was the other one in that squad I met a week back. Did I even meet her? I think I saw her when we got portalled to Wings' club but I can't be sure. [/hider] [hider=Noah's Test Scores] [b]Noah "Starbright" Bell HERO Entrance Exam Chief proctor: Harrison Bradshire[/b] [i]Point of note, subjects initial scores were initially perfect. But upon further review it was determined the evaluation team was either paid off or charmed. Our second evaluation of the footage was conducted by the most experienced at HERO.[/i] [u]Test #1 (Physical) Score[/u] 70 [i]Subject seems perfectly capable in feats of physical activity. While it appears he has no metahuman abilities to influence this, he could be considered at his peak performance[/i] [u]Test #2 (Intelligence) Score[/u] 27 [i]Subject displayed baffling incompetence on subjects relating to history and geography. Results regarding mathematics and English were hardly better. Shows some capability in logic.[/i] [u]Test #3 (Potential Power) Score[/u] 45 [i]While the power to conjure light is certainly impressive, it does not appear capable of doing serious harm to others. No structures and targets were destroyed out side of a few somewhat deep scratches. However, the blinding capability is considerable.[/i] [u]Test #4 (Non-Power Combat) Score[/u] NA [i]Subject could not be assessed on this. He 'sat this one out'.[/i] [u]Test #5 (Power Combat) Score[/u] 35 [i]Subject could not effectively combat the leftovers. While able to take a few down, HERO personnel had to step in to restrain the leftovers. Subject requested 'this be left off the record'.[/i] [u]Test #6 (Field Aptitude Combat) Score[/u] 84 [i]The typical hostage set up was quickly disbanded as he negotiated our set up villain to surrender. Marks are deducted for his lack of comforting the hostages, instead he seemed more interested in bragging about it to other participants.[/i] [u]Test #7 (Field Aptitude Combat) Score[/u] 24 [i]A typical case of crippling narcissism. However, this is the worst case our team has to date. We can perhaps attribute this to his peculiar upbringing. He is a subject we would be very interested in studying in future.[/i] [u][b]Cumulative Score[/b][/u] [b]285[/b] (Average Score: 47.5) End note: By the metrics of the test and consensus from the review team, we would consider the inclusion of this subject into HERO unethical. For the good of HERO, this subject should never become an agent.

The picture desribes the rest, stands at a staggering 6'8. [b]Blood Type[/b] Can't be properly determined [b]Locations[/b] Brookside and Watervale both have underground fighting rings big and small. He will unpredictably show up at one. He also takes hero bounties to boost his profile so hes all around the place [b]Occupation[/b] Pit Fighter and Muscle for Hire [b]Affiliation[/b] Villainy [b]Tier[/b] High A tier hero [b]Personality[/b] An initial psychiatric evaluation showed strong signs of narcissism, a medical examination showed a broken nose, for the psychiatrist. No further tests have been done on Midas. Midas bathes in the thrill of a fight, the lows of taking a massive hit, the highs of sending his opponent flying he will take it all. Of course he doesn't mind the pretty penny he makes from bets. But the greatest thrill for him is taking on a high tier hero. This is the closest he gets to losing it all and the risk makes the reward all the sweeter. Midas is cocky and brash but he isn't a total idiot, he is slowly taking over some of the smaller fighting rings in Castleburg. Though so far he has little plans for them outside of some extra income. [b]Backstory[/b] Little is actually known about Midas before making his shining debut 4 years ago against A class hero The Bull. Which end with Midas hitting him with a Backbreaker after a 50 meter drop, permanently retiring The Bull. From then on Midas has been fighting in fighting pits and against heroes in the streets until present day. This isn't to say some facts haven't popped up: -His favorite food is spaghetti bolognese 'just like mamma used to make'. -He is overly pleased with monetary gain suggesting he came from a poorer community -He has never really mentions his family suggesting they are either dead or a very well kept secret. [b]Powers[/b] Gold King Instead of regular sweat Midas instead sweats a substance similar to melted gold at room temperature. He can control this sweat by absorbing it to enhance his strength greatly or shield himself. He can shoot it like a projectile but it would be like a tank having a fuel cannon, just a waste. Factoids: -His sweat is not gold, under chemical analysis it is extremely similar to sweat the reason for its consistency and attributes are unknown. -Despite not being gold his sweat goes for $40 an ounce on the black market some believe it will give them similar powers or enhance their strength too. Any recorded results are likely placebo. [b]Techniques[/b] Multiple wrestling moves including but not limited to: backbreaker, suplex, piledriver and rko. Haymaker: Midas channels all his sweat into one arms for a finishing blow. Weaknesses: The weakness is inherent, the more he sweats the stronger he gets but also the closer he gets to collapsing. [hider=Theme] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIE4UjBtx-o[/youtube] [/hider] [hider=Midas thoughts and relationships] William Thorson: "He didn't put up much of a fight. That's what you'd expect with a surprise attack, but still, I hoped there was more. I kind of feel bad feeding him to the Gugliano wolves. But hey, business is business." [/hider] [hider=Notable Members of the Brookside Bruisers] [hider=Specter] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a9/f6/42/a9f64245659f0a85eb047a6caa4974cf.jpg[/img] Specter is a new member of the Bruisers, and has quickly risen in rank. She is the most intelligent in the Bruisers equal with Midas. Her power allows her to excrete a colorless odorless toxin for her skin. It is almost impossible to detect it until the opponent has breathed it in. The only effect of the poison is a minor headache but she is able to make objects invisible to those who are affected.

While neither are technically powered individuals, they are both note worthy for their engineering talents and utter fearlessness. Their fighting style is using metal fighting suits with a ton of mini jet engines on them.

Seeing the rise of the Brookside Bruisers he strived to prove himself and join. He has grown up in Brookside all his life, and has experienced the gangs that came before. He sees the Brookside Bruisers as 'the best Brookside is going to get' and genuinely believes it.

She takes challenges head on and won't hesitate to play the hero. Ultimately she is satisfied with the way this all has turned out and isn't wasting the opportunity. This of course changes when the threat of her past comes back up. [b]Backstory[/b] From birth Yui didn't really have a choice what happened to her. Her father was Koshiki Devils and as an only child she was expected to be Koshiki Devils as well. The fact that she developed powers at the early age of 13 sealed the deal. Not like she minded, she was raised in Brookside without a great deal of wealth to her name. The promise of some extra money sounded good, and her upbringing lowered her standards where she didn't care where it came from. Yui got to live that life, getting a lot of money from being a metahuman member of the gang. But there were plenty of bad moments to balance it out. The Devils would always be looking to abuse her power in different ways to gain the upper hand in the turf wars. And after years of forced experimenting she developed an extra power. A way to manipulate the mind with her power. Yui hated it. She always felt wrong using it, as if she was intruding on someones very soul. But that was just her life, and this power was abused to its full extent. The breaking point was when they brought someone in with a burlap sack over their head. Yui implanted the needle used for her power and went to work. She wasn't one to ask questions, no one asks questions. But that curiosity peaked, 'why was this person hidden? They had never done it before.' The only thing she was given before diving into this persons mind is that they needed to know all the information this person knew about the Wah Chings. It was the same as normal, what was special about this person? Instead of diving straight for the memories she needed, she explored a bit. Some things piqued her interest. This person was schooled in Japan, they had been there for many years, and joined the Yakuza there. Was this man part of the Koshiki Devils? Diving further she came face to face with a child image of herself. The person she was doing this to was her father. After that she didn't waste any time. She got the information learning that he was planning on betraying the Devils, but that didn't matter to her. Yui couldn't let them know that she knew who this was, she just gave the information over and watched her father be dragged away still unconscious. She tried to hold back tears as she heard the gunshot a few minutes later. Did they really think Yui would just go on as if everything was normal after that? She needed to get out, but the life of a villain was oppressive and hard to escape. What was she going to do, call the cops? No she needed a miracle and she got that wrapped in angels wings. EAGLES was the best thing that ever happened to Yui. HERO tower being left undefended meant that she could restart life. Though it meant she would have to use the power she hated. Using the needle on a HERO 'tech guy' she manipulated him into changing the HERO database. She didn't want to screw with it too much. The Koshiki Devils kept her more or less a secret, so it was easy to erase herself from the database. But then she got him to register her as a HERO and make it so that she been there for just over two years. Yui erased any memory of this from the 'tech guy' and returned him to his home. Removing the needle, she promised to never use it again. It was time to start her new life as a HERO. Yui avoids Brookside at all costs. Although her life is good now and she enjoys being a hero, she lives in the constant fear that the old life she erased will resurface. [b]Powers[/b] Power: Hemokinesis Yui has the ability to control her own blood but not with incredible force. Her main use is making daggers and katanas that she can control using this power. To make one, she coats some cloth with her blood and makes the handle grip out of that cloth. She also wraps that further with a thin layer of plastic for sanitary and general cleanliness reasons. [hider=Power hidden from HERO] Using a sewing needle with her blood on it, she can insert this into the back of someones neck to insert her blood into their brain. From there she has an incredible control over their brain, even being able to induce nightmares while they are awake and reading/editing memories. This takes a lot of focus to do and she has to completely concentrate on it to pull it off. She hates this power and swore never to use it again.
