She's naturally of a slim body habitus, which has only been compounded by years of poor nutrition. Her time at H.E.R.O has allowed her to eat regularly and exercise, so she at least looks more healthy these days. Although she's fair in complexion, she does tan easily and has a good smattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose. She has several tattoos dotted around her body, most of which are on her arms, although there are a few more hidden ones. She doesn't like to discuss her tattoos or the meaning of them, and generally gets annoyed when people point them out. She also has a few piercings, including a few on her ears and one on her bellybutton. Her hair is dark brown and is usually either worn in loose waves or tied up in a messy bun, whilst her eyes are probably her most outstanding feature, being a bright green colour. If she starts to absorb too much nearby electricity, they will begin to turn white in colour. [color=f26522][u][b]Blood Type[/b][/u][/color] A+ [color=f26522][u][b]Occupation[/b][/u][/color] Hero [color=f26522][u][b]Side[/b][/u][/color] Hero [color=f26522][u][b]Affiliation[/b][/u][/color] H.E.R.O [color=f26522][u][b]Tier[/b][/u][/color] B+ [color=f26522][u][b]Personality[/b][/u][/color] Brie is a tough cookie to crack. Her upbringing has made her wary of others, and upon first meeting her, most would describe Brie as standoffish and aloof. She sees little point in getting to know others, assuming that they will eventually leave her. She does not share her emotions easily and is skilled at adopting a mask to hide what she is really feeling. Many are surprised when they found out that she is working for H.E.R.O, however Brie likes to insist that she is purely in it for the money and that she could care less about the wellbeing of the Castleburgs citizens. Brie has never been good with authority and constantly struggles with taking orders from H.E.R.O. She will tolerate working in a team but is known for going astray on more than one occasion. She also sees little point in trying to fine-tune her powers, liking them as they are...which has led to the [i]occassional[/i] blackout. However, underneath her hard exterior, Brie has a wicked sense of humour and natural charisma that, when she lets people in, draws others to her. Although it would surprise those at H.E.R.O, she is an extrovert and enjoys being around others...not that she would ever admit it. Akin to the rest of her family, she was born with the gift of the gab, and when she chooses to, can spin a very believable lie. [color=f26522][u][b]Backstory[/b][/u][/color] Born in the underprivileged borough of Brookside, Brie's upbringing was tumultuous, to say the least. Her parents, being heavy drug users and often in & out of prison, were absent from her early childhood. Instead she was raised by her brother, Wyatt, who was eight years her elder. The pair survived for a while, squatting in the high-rise where their parents had once lived, scrounging food off their neighbours when they could, stealing when people became less generous. However when Brie was only seven years old, Wyatts fell in with the wrong crowd, following in his parents footsteps as he fell down the path of drugs and debauchery. Left alone and with no-one to care for her, Brie was eventually taken into care, bouncing from one foster family to the next. A scrawny kid, Brie was often made fun of by the others, but she could hold her own and was frequently punished for getting into fights. Whilst most foster families were apathetic at their worst, using Brie as a means of income, some were downright cruel. Brie first discovered her powers when she was only nine years old. For years she had noticed that lights would sometimes flicker when she entered a room or that the TV would lose signal when she was annoyed, but she always assumed that it was just a coincidence. However her powers truly came to fruition when she was staying with one particularly unsavoury foster family. They were not only neglectful but physically abusive, and one day when she was trying to defend herself, she accidentally electrocuted her foster father. He lived...after he woke up from the six months coma. Scared of what the authorities might do to her if they found out about her powers, Brie ran away. For years she lived on the streets, sometimes squatting with friends, othertimes simply finding a quiet alleyway to hide in. When she was seventeen, she got a job as a bartender at a particularly unsavoury joint in the slums of Brookside. It was there that Brie stumbled across her brother. Unbeknownst to her, Wyatt had discovered powers of his own, the abiity to read and manipulate the minds of others. He had used this to gather a gang of low levels villains, intent on getting revenge on the city that had dealt him such a bad card. Upon finding out about her powers, Wyatt persuaded her to come work for them. By the time Brie was eighteen, Wyatts gang had gained notoriety in Brookside, having a monopoly over the crime in that part of the city. At first Brie was simply happy to be reunited with her brother, however she soon came to realise that she was not always in control of her actions and that she had periods that she simply could not recall. Realising that her brother was controlling her, she managed to trap him during one particularly tricky bank heist, using her powers to keep him locked in one of the most secure volts in the city. Since then, her brother has been taken to Coldwater, whilst Brie recently became a member of H.E.R.O. [color=f26522][u][b]Powers[/b][/u][/color] 'Back off': Brie can generate electromagnetic fields and use these to create barriers or shields that can block attacks. These are usually limited to her immediate area. 'Lights out': Brie can manipulate the electrical current within pieces of technology. Usually she just uses this for day-to-day tasks or to annoy others, but it can have more useful practicalities. Theoretically, this can even be used to fix broken devices...but she's never tried. Elecro-blast: Brie can fire powerful blasts of electrical energy. Usually, this is in the form of an arc of electrical current, lightning strikes or even a ball of electricity. Bio-electricity: Brie has a limited ability to manipulate the bio-electric currents that naturally run throughout her body. By manipulating the currents in her muscles when she is running, she is able to increase her speed, although currently, this is only to the point where she is slightly faster than the average human. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Brie is unable to generate electricity, save for small amounts which would only be enough to say power a lightbulb, therefore she relies on external sources to fuel her powers. [color=f26522][u][b]Others:[/b][/u][/color] Brie has a particular soft spot for stray cats and dogs, often taking the odd one into her flat for a few days, so that she can feed it up and tend to any wounds. Brie has a bad habit of frequenting bars or clubs, and often turns up to work hungover, much to the chargrin of those in charge. She absolutely loves thunderstorms and will insist on going outside during them so that she can attract nearby strikes of lightning. Her time on the streets has left her with some rather unheroic habits. This includes her practice of acquiring cars through...not so legal means. She is also a dab hand at pickpocketing (not that she does this anymore, of course). Brie has a dog named Dog, who is half-Rottweiler/half-MWE. His favourite food is pancakes and he enjoys biting people.

Also, alcohol and fire definitely don't mix well...I've learnt that."[/color] [b]Relationship description[/b] There's nothing like multiple stints in a jail cell to bring people closer together. Brie probably is not a good influence on Blake, and vice versa, but they get along pretty well despite this & she'd consider him a friend. [hr] [b]Name of person[/b] Jamie Stewart [b]Relationship status[/b] Friend/jail mate [b]Quick quote[/b] [color=00aeef]"She may watch far too many re-runs of Glee, but she's pretty fun to be around and a quick driver if you ever need a lift!"[/color] [b]Relationship description[/b] Although she may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, Brie surprisingly finds herself liking Jamie. Similarly to Blake, they have had multiple stints in jail together which has founded the basis for a good friendship. [hr] [b]Name of person[/b] Jade Farley [b]Relationship status[/b] Good friend [b]Quick quote[/b] [color=00aeef]"Yeah, I'd like to say that I get along well with both the Farleys. She's super easy to talk to, although I don't think she always approves of the trouble I sometimes get into... "[/color] [b]Relationship description[/b] Although their personalities are quite different and they don't always have the same outlook on things, Brie sees Jade as a good friend. She's someone that she feels she can always talk to and who she'd go to if she ever needed help. [hr] [b]Name of person[/b] Patricia Donnelly [b]Relationship status[/b] Good friend [b]Quick quote[/b] [color=00aeef]"Yeah, I'd like to think me and Patricia have become good friends. She's a big softie at heart really."[/color] [b]Relationship description[/b] Patricia is probably one of the heros who Brie has the most in common with, and she is one of the few people at HERO one who she actually feels comfortable opening to. They've also bonded over [i]certain[/i] mutual Coldwater inmates.

She likes that he doesn't take things too seriously and is always up for doing something a little bit reckless. [hr] [b]Name of person[/b] Joseph Moore [b]Relationship status[/b] Drink buddies [b]Quick quote[/b] [color=00aeef]"Joseph, who's he? Oh come on, I'm kidding...Yeah, he's great to drink with but he also makes me want to tear my hair out half the time.[/color] [b]Relationship description[/b] Josephs pretty new to HERO so Brie doesn't know him very well, with most of their interactions having involved getting drunk together. Outside of this, he always seems to find a way to get on her nerves and she's constantly trying not to murder him.

Yeah...he's pretty damn adorable."[/color] [b]Relationship description[/b] Brie has a soft spot for Jasper, seeing him as a sweet kid who doesn't seem to have a bad bone in his body. She generally tries to be nice to him because of this (apart from the few occassions when she may have [i]accidentally[/i] landed him in trouble...)

[/center] [/hider] [hider=Ringmaster][center][img]https://imgur.com/iLPbmne.png[/img] [color=ed1c24][u][b]Name[/b][/u][/color] Wyatt Hart [color=ed1c24][u][b]Villain Name[/b][/u][/color] Ringmaster [color=ed1c24][u][b]Nicknames[/b][/u][/color] None [color=ed1c24][u][b]Gender[/b][/u][/color] Male [color=ed1c24][u][b]Age[/b][/u][/color] 28 [color=ed1c24][u][b]Date of Birth[/b][/u][/color] 15th October [color=ed1c24][u][b]Physique[/b][/u][/color] Standing at exactly 6ft tall, Wyatt is not overly muscular but does enough to keep himself well-toned and fit. He has fair skin but no noticeable blemishes or freckles are to be seen. Objectively most people can't deny that he's a good looking guy, his storm blue eyes and perfectly proportioned features enough to charm any woman. He has a mop of black hair that he usually keeps short at the sides and swept back from his face. His smile is probably his most outstanding feature though, it having both won and broke the heart of many over the years. Surprisingly for someone from Brookside, Wyatt has no tattoos and although he previously had a piercing in each ear, these were taken out several years ago. He has some scars across his back, although these are well faded and barely noticeable anymore. [color=ed1c24][u][b]Blood Type[/b][/u][/color] A+ [color=ed1c24][u][b]Occupation[/b][/u][/color] Villain [color=ed1c24][u][b]Side[/b][/u][/color] Villain [color=ed1c24][u][b]Affiliation[/b][/u][/color] Formerly the leader of 'The Calaveras' - named by the media for the way they styled themselves. [color=ed1c24][u][b]Tier[/b][/u][/color] S [color=ed1c24][u][b]Personality[/b][/u][/color] On the surface Wyatt is all charm, charisma and pleasantries. Even without his powers, he has always had a way with words and knows just what to say to twist someone round his little finger. It also doesn't help that he can see a persons every thought and deepest darkest secrets... Underneath however, Wyatt is cold and calculating. He sees the world as a brutal place, that left he and his sister alone, and that prioritises heros above all else. He sees others as simply tools for him to use and has little care for their needs or wishes. There is a part of him that has a soft spot for his sister, though this is often overtaken by desire to use her for her powers. Perhaps due to the fact that he feels little emotion, Wyatt has always been prone to boredom and is constantly craving stimulation. He enjoys playing and toying with others, and will go out of his way to bring someone into one of his games. And although he does not necessarily feel the emotions, he is greatly skilled at putting on a mask and most would have difficulty telling otherwise. Although he does not have a bad temper [i]per say[/i], he likes things done his way, and those around him would be wise to do as he pleases. People who do irritate him seem to always [i]coincidentally[/i] go missing, only to be found less...alive, than they once were. [color=ed1c24][u][b]Backstory[/b][/u][/color] For as long as Wyatt can remember, he's been able to hear the thoughts of others. When he was very young, he figured it was just something everyone could do, and was surprised when at the mention of his powers, his parents looked at him with fear. After all, who wants their every thought known? Especially to their child? Whereas his sister was too young to recall the atrocities that were their parents, Wyatt was subject to it all. They were never fit to care for children, and he also suspected that the only thing that kept them together was their mutual love of hard drugs. Possession of drugs, theft, assault, antisocial behaviour... The list was endless. Their parents must have had a rap sheet longer than the bible. Wyatt was honestly glad when they just disappeared one day. He didn't even bother checking whether they were in prison or if they'd died...it didn't really matter after all. So instead, he was left at twelve to raise a four year old sister. Luckily for them, Brookside was a mess, and they were able to squat in their old flat for a while. Wyatt hated it thought. Always having to struggle for food, never having heating, hearing the neighbours thoughts about them... As if he deserved such a life. It wasn't long before he got fed up of struggling. He began to spend more and more time on the streets, seeking solace in drugs and debauchery. And he probably would have gone down the same path as his parents, if he hadn't met Mr. King when he was fifteen. The man had the ability to teleport substances from one location to another, and had utilised this to begin his own drug empire in Castleburg. His lackies consisted of a mix of average humans and superheros with D/E rank abilities at best. The gang, for lack of a better name, developed a significant degree of infamy around Brookside and were dubbed by the media 'The Calaveras', for the way they painted their [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7c/80/ae/7c80aeb808f80f7822aae80df82c9deb.jpg]faces[/url] before a raid. Although he hid the true extent of his powers from Mr. King, the man took the young Wyatt under his wing. Afterall, a boy who can hear both your friends and enemies thoughts is infinitely useful. Wyatt enjoyed the power that Mr. King brought with him and relished in the opportunity to fine tune his powers. But...he always figured that his boss was thinking [i]too[/i] small. He was always too eager to play up to politicians and famous celebrities, including the hero ones. So bit by bit, Wyatt began to take over. It took him years to fine tune his abilities to control the minds of others, especially when they were strong, but he learnt and he took control. It was not until years later, at the age of 25, that Wyatt ran into his sister. He'd tried to look for her in the past but as soon as she'd gone on the streets, she'd gotten lost to the system. He surprised himself when he felt sympathy for her, seeing her work in that depressing bar, and she'd been more than eager to reconnect with her brother. When he realised what her power was, he persuaded her to come work for him. She was not only stronger than most of his men but could also get into places that had been previously inaccessible. Sure sometimes she hadn't wanted to, and he'd had to [i]change[/i] her mind, but so be it. Until she managed to trap him that is. They'd been planning to rob one of the most secure banks in all of Castleburg, its vaults impenetrable...unless you had access to the electrical currents that held those locks tight in place. She'd persuaded him to come along, insisting that he would need to keep his men in check for such a tricky robbery. To this day Wyatt has not been able to figure out how she did it, but Brie managed to block her true thoughts from him. He was a fool to step into the vault. A fool who got trapped. He's since been locked up in Coldwater for the past two years, his sentence infinite. But...it's only a matter of time. [color=ed1c24][u][b]Power[/b][/u][/color] [color=ed1c24][i]Telepathy/mind control[/i][/color] Wyatt is a strong telepath, which allows him to read the thoughts (and sometimes memories) of others. He can also communicate with others telepathically. Through this same ability, Wyatt is able to control the thoughts, emotions or actions of certain other people. Usually, when he is controlling another's actions they will be in a semi-conscious state and have no recollection of the actions they performed. This power has been particularly useful in being able to control other superpowered people and use them for his own purposes. [color=ed1c24][u][b]Extras:[/b][/u][/color] Wyatt can perfectly imitate at least a dozen accents from different countries. He is also fluent in Russian and French. Thanks to his powers, Wyatt has a near eidetic memory. [/center] [/hider]
