If you were to see underneath his Depths-patented 'protective suit', all you'd find is a skeleton, engulfed in the greenish aura present in the only visible section of his body, his skull. This is a side effect of his Power, to put it nicely. Otherwise, it should be noted that even without his suit (which adds about an extra 2 ft. on him), he stands at an impressive 6'2 ft. Beyond his rather lacking physical appearance is, of course, the hulking suit designed by the geniuses behind The Depths. Clad in hazmat materials hybridized with heavy plating of titanium, this suit was made to subdue Sebastian's Power to the best of their ability...Yet, sadly, even this impressive make isn't foolproof. Trace elements of his Power still leak through, and if he exerts enough effort, he can still conduct his Power even through the suit. Ultimately, it's just the best handicap they can give the villain dubbed as Fallout... [/INDENT][/color] [color=00a651][B][ PERSONALITY TRAITS ][/B][/color] [INDENT][color=00a651]APATHETIC:[/color][color=8dc73f]Sebastian's life has steadily gone down the drain, and while he's quite determined to keep living, it lost much of any real meaning to him long, long ago. He practically lives out of spite, knowing the next time he breaks out will be a shot at feeling the rush of life, if only for a short while. So, while he seemingly lacks the drive to be a potent villain, it's actually that lack of drive that makes him one, feeling unable to do much of anything else.[/color][/INDENT] [INDENT][color=00a651]RELENTLESS:[/color][color=8dc73f]When Fallout has to fight, there'll be no holds barred; he doesn't care about civilians in the area, collateral damage that could ensue, and least of all about the lives of those stupid enough to try and fight with him. He might get a kick out of a tussle on rare occasion, but beyond that, combat to him only means two things; being free, or making a point.[/color][/INDENT] [INDENT][color=00a651]ANTIPATHIC:[/color][color=8dc73f]Fallout has a strong hate, deep in his core, and it'll never go away. The world screwed him over from minute one, so he could care less about returning the favor. Is it petty of him? Yeah, certainly. But his other options are to die or stay locked up for eternity. He'll take pointless violence and freedom over those two any day. But, if his real freedom finally did come, he probably wouldn't honestly know what to do with it. So the point is, he doesn't take lives or destroy because he finds it particularly fun (though on occasion he does), but because for him, there's not much better he could do.[/color][/INDENT] [color=00a651][B][ BIO ][/B][/color] [color=8dc73f][INDENT] Sebastian Monroe's been living out a tragedy his whole life, and it started when he was born. Son of Scott and Diana Monroe, Bastion entered the world on January 10th, the day when the Treaty of Versailles took effect, bringing an end to The War to end all Wars...Or as it's better known now, World War I. It should've been a joyous day for his family, but it was not so. The miracle of childbirth was not as glamorous as it ought to have been. Uniquely even among his fellow Powered individuals, Sebastian manifested his abilities on the day of his birth. As such, his ability; that being Nucleokinesis, the generation and manipulation of nuclear energy, began to act. Moments within him entering the world, the heat within the room swelled tremendously, followed near immediately by an explosion of energy from the mewling babe. Within a blink of an eye, the hospital in D.C. was wiped from the map, a smoking radioactive crater, with naught left but the skeletal remains of an infant. Except....They weren't quite remains. Because they kept crying. The government got to work quick. After all, news of an entire hospital being leveled on a random afternoon like any other spread like wildfire, though it was covered up quickly. With the help of some heat-resistant Superheroes, they were able to identify the cause of the incident as the baby boy who still sat crying in the craterized remains. There was no flesh left to be seen, only bone, and an offsetting green glow about them. From that point on, the child became the equivalent of government property. It wasn't like anyone else could take care of the strange and volatile youngster, and truth be told, the government took plenty of interest in the exact nature of the boy's Power. It was unlike anything the world had ever seen; an unholy amount of destructive force that, if harnessed, could turn into something incredible. However, with the technology available to them in the early 1900s, merely containing the youth was more than they bargained for, much less studying his abilities. Time passed. His living conditions had been....Acceptable. They were all he had known his whole life, so being a young man of about 25, he didn't have much to argue about. Most of his time was spent in frigid water, a shallow attempt to keep his temperature and energy from rising to dangerous degrees, or on occasion they'd take him out to Nevada as a 'testing grounds'. Needless to say, when World War II rolled in, and the Allies got desperate for a game changer, they looked to Sebastian... At first, they simply tried to intensely study his Power and how to replicate its functions, but testing proved slow and unfruitful for some time. Then a new method came to mind; instead of simply recreating the sort of energy he produces, why not simply take the energy [i]from him?[/i] Seemed great on paper, and the young Bastion was all for it...Until the first test of this nature was conducted. As it turned out, due to whatever he did to himself on his day of birth, he didn't just control this nuclear energy; he [i]was[/i] the nuclear energy. Siphoning off him brought discomfort, and eventually even pain, to the point where he lashed out. For the time being, the tests for stripping him of his energy were postponed. Hitting only dead ends, a desperate decision was made. On August 6th, 1945, the ultimate test of Sebastian's Metahuman abilities were put to the test. Unwittingly placed inside a bomb, he was flown across the seas to the land of the rising sun; Japan. There...He became one of the worst human-made catastrophes to ever occur. Dropped to ground level, upon contact, having been left alone for months charging energy to near-bursting, he unleashed a hellish blast following his collision into the ground. While it caused him incredible pain and left him unconscious and in agony, what it did to everything around him was far worse. The implosion alone leveled over five miles of Hiroshima, killing 80,000 of its inhabitants in an instant. In the following aftermath, thousands more perished from the radiation left in his wake. Once he regained consciousness, all new feelings that Sebastian was unacquainted with came to him in waves; fear, confusion, and most importantly...Rage. His countrymen, and the people he has lived under his whole life, used him as a means to an end. For days, the glowing skeleton that became an omen of death to the Japanese citizenry wandered the wasteland of his own creation, sickened by what had been done. Eventually, before Japanese heroes could end up finding him, American forces came to pick him up, and he obliged...For the time. Having seen what they thought of him as, something to be studied and used to their means, Sebastian had plans of his own now. He played nice for the first few weeks back, regaining his strength and awaiting news of the warfront. However, the very day the surrender of Japan was given, August 15th, he made his move. Having never been anticipating an act of aggression from him, he broke his shallow containment with ease, slaughtering government agents and researchers alike without regret. If they could inflict something like this on a whole country without a second thought, then why should he spare them one? Following this, the first incident involving the individual who now went by 'Fallout' occurred. As Sebastian broke containment and made his way into the closest city, it didn't go unnoticed. While the government was scrambling their best task force to recontain the walking bomb, Superheroes also got involved. He wasn't a fighter, and had never even thrown a punch before this, but as it turned out, Heroes were made of less stiff stuff than he had imagined. With his nuclear-infused strength, even the mightiest of the caped crusaders who confronted Sebastian could even match him in raw strength, much less contend with it. Not to mention even getting close to the man spelt nigh-instant death.....A fact many Heroes that day learned all too well. It's likely this would have continued to escalate, with perhaps even Fallout managing to escape and travel across America in a reign of rampage, if not for a heroine by the name of Blizzard, whose powerful Cryokinetic abilities were enough to chill his core temperature down, to the point he went comatose; if only for long enough to be contained. From that day on, Sebastian Monroe went from the government's lab rat to their greatest threat, holding a hatred that burned hotter than even he did. However, they had now gained the knowledge they needed to replicate his ability of nuclear power, and thus, he was not needed. Killing him, however, seemed quite out of the question. As such, he instead received a special place in a truly wicked Supermax prison in a place called Coldwater. There, his cell was designed, and its design has barely deviated over the years. With him as their newest guest of honor, Coldwater was able to implement the world's first ever nuclear generator....With him as the charger. With the generator bound to him, the constant drain of power was enough to keep him at bay, and if he ever made any moves, the cell was prepared with coolant sprays that, given his weakened condition, were potent enough to drop him into a brief comatose state. Beyond a daily meal, this was his life; stuck as a battery, with nothing to do, and no one to talk to. His mental stability gradually degraded from day after day of this insufferable treatment. Luckily for him, things took a turn eventually. Around 1993, something changed. Maybe it was just that after years of successful containment things got a bit lax, but whatever the case, an opportunity presented itself; for reasons he didn't know, and truthfully, didn't care about, the coolant system was dysfunctional for a day. Their mistake. When the guard came to give him his daily meal, what he got was a face-full of nuclear energy, turning him into an ashen statue of himself almost instantaneously. After that, well, let's just say Coldwater wasn't prepared for a pissed off nuclear warhead to barrel through all the prison walls and out into glorious sunlight. ....This was new. He knew he'd been transported to a high-security prison, but Fallout wasn't prepared for how different the world could look after 40 years shut off from it. However, he didn't get to take that moment in for long; the Supes were coming. And he was rather stunned to find out that, after years of being stuck in maximum containment....They hadn't improved all too much. Just like all the way back in '45, heroes were dropping like flies, unprepared for a foe of this magnitude, only compounded by the fact that his breakout also lead to the freedom of several other high-profile villains. But, as it turns out, they were a touch more prepared than last time... In case of the return of the mysterious (at least to the Hero associations) supervillain Fallout, they began a program that ensured that if the time came, an individual with extraordinarily potent Cryokinetic capacity would be on the scene. While Fallout managed to wreak horrific havoc, he was yet again stopped by the newest Cryokinetic hero on the block. After that, he was returned to Coldwater, and unbeknownst to him, plans to design a far more imposing Super-Prison were in the works. From that moment on, efforts to contain Fallout were as strict as possible. Not a day went by without a chamber inspection, ensuring proper working of the coolants and no abnormalities of the generator. This lasted until 2035, nearly 50 years after his initial breakout. Yet again, they were in for a wake-up-call... Realizing that his lucky fluke from so long ago was not going to occur again, Fallout hatched a new plan. When the time was right, after having spent years acting as orderly as possible in order to conserve energy by not having the coolant used on him, he struck; with a surge of energy, he overheated the nuclear generator, causing a security breach the likes of which Coldwater had never seen....Nor would ever see again. However, in the resulting explosion of the generator, Sebastian was left unconscious for days at end while order was slowly, painfully wrangled back from the hands of hundreds of freed inmates. By the time he awoke again, he was in a cell. But...It was different somehow, even if he wasn't sure how. Unbeknownst to him, he was placed into the newly made Supermax prison for villains and their ilk; The Depths. Where he's been kept to this day. So far, at least...[/INDENT][/color] [color=00a651][b]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/b][/color] [color=8dc73f][indent]Of course, with no way of Sebastian to know his parents, and nothing left of the hospital, that name is as good as dead, which is why he was given the name Adam by the government caretakers.[/indent][/color] [hider=Abilities] [color=00a651][B][ RANKING ][/B][/color] [color=8dc73f][INDENT] S [/INDENT][/color] [color=00a651][B][ POWERS ][/B][/color] [color=8dc73f][INDENT]Fallout possesses the incredible and dangerous power of Nucleokinesis; the manipulation and generation of nuclear energy, one of the most powerful sources of energy known to man.

For a figure standing close to 10 ft. inside a titanium suit, he can move fast, consistently clocking running speeds of nearly 80 MPH, and if enough energy is spare, he can still force a blast out mid-movement for an insane increase in acceleration, though this tactic is difficult to use with the suit. 5/10.

So many would be shocked to learn that Setsuka is actually a machine with an advanced Artifical Intelligence or A.I. for short in her metal body. There isn't a whole lot to say about Setsuka. Even her origin story is a bit shrouded. But she was actually first discovered by the two former vigilante's "Alien Angel" and "Firewall" from the "Infinite" group. Even after the death of the Infinite leader "Red Tail" during the Zero Organization events, Alien Angel and Firewall had kept up the fight as much as they could before settling down for a bit one year after the fall of ZERO. Always helping. Always hunting. Even for their own identities. Even about the mysterious Leftover blood in their veins. Despite their vigilante status, they both had a good life over the course of 31 years or so. But it was 6 months from the present of this story where things changed. Firewall had gotten wind of a possible lab hidden in, of all places, some abandoned apartment building's basement in the Bronx. Fearing that yet another group of mad scientist types were at it again, both she and Alien Angel went to investigate the following night. Fully expecting to find "failed" splicing experiments or even new man made Leftovers, they instead found what looked liked a human sized capsule. It was being guarded by one scientist and a handful of thugs. After some listening in due to Firewall using a tiny remote control car with a "bug" in it, both learned that they were waiting for a "buyer" to show. And that the scientist was surprised how much said buyer was paying for a "failed lab rat". That was more than enough for them to step in. After dealing with the group and leaving them tied up, both opened the capsule. Inside, what looked liked a blonde haired woman was sleeping in the nude. Then, said woman opened her eyes, red pupils looking at it's two visitors. "...system online...", it said. One thing led to another from there and the robot soon joined the two. Firewall herself thought that development for such "advanced" robots were only just starting to go around at the time but she didn't think she even see one herself this soon. Even more so with how advanced it's A.I. was. The robot itself didn't seem to remember much of her origin either. No serial number or any identification. Even with her best efforts it seemed this robot was not in any system. It didn't help either that they couldn't question the scientist nor his thugs since back up was showing. Some of which were robots themselves. After getting to safety, the robot they helped tried to communicate with them about itself. "...I was deemed "defective"...because I didn't "quietly" follow orders...because I wanted to learn...about the "human condition"...so I was "thrown out"...but the scientist felt he could make money off of me...I'm sorry...I don't know which electronic or corporate company threw me out...nor can I remember my creator..."[/INDENT] Both Alien Angel and Firewall, in a way, also knew what that felt like in their own ways. So both took it upon themselves to show her the world out there or as much of it as they could. Even though both knew the dangers of showing a machine how to lead a "normal" life. "...don't worry...you both saved me...even if you are vigilantes...I will stay with you...even if I must help you fight..." After some time, the robot gave itself a name with help from it's two new friends. And so begins a story of Crimson Setsuka...a robot learning to be human...and learning about her origin and it's reason for it's existance. [color=ed1c24][b]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/b][/color] [indent]While Setsuka understands that she was possibly designed to be a "killing machine", she understands self control and thus only goes lethal if it's a last resort or is given no choice against a Human, Meta, Leftover or even machine opponent. Mysteriously, she isn't so hesitant against her own kind if said robots have deviated from their "prime directives" or simply have malfunctioned. The following is information on the two "vigilante" individuals who follow Crimson Setsuka. When you see Setsuka, usually one or both of them aren't too far behind.

Also goes by her normal human name "Terra" but those close to her also call her "Angelia". Photos above show her from 31 years ago but not even she knows her true age or certain other personal information despite her "supports" best efforts. Even now, she doesn't look like she's aged much. Stands 5'8" and looks rather slim, human or transformed. A survivor of illegal lab experimentation of splicing Leftover DNA with her human DNA, Alien Angel gain her super powers through horrible means. Managing to escape then joining with a vigilante group called "Infinite", Alien Angel started her hero work under that infamous name. Those around New York from police to criminals knew of a "Pink Leftover" flying the night skies back in her early days. Then, both her and other members of Infinite came to Castleburg, quietly supporting the other heroes. Even more so, the group that Alpha/K Nine himself once joined. After some years, Alien Angel began trying to find out her personal history once things in Castleburg had finally settled down. Even today, she doesn't know what kind of Leftover DNA runs through her veins but has learned to control and develop it to the point where she's officially labled a "A" Tier vigilante. Though rumors say that said DNA came from a rare but extinct Leftover. Though technically wanted by the law, she actually gets "hired" for work by other offical hero groups. With "Infinite" disbanded due to it's leader's heroic sacrifice many decades ago, Alien Angel still goes from city to city, doing her part. Then her "support" told her about some new trouble starting in Castleburg yet again...[/hider] [hider=Firewall] [img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/0a946410809245f1ed8aa0211ae76660/tumblr_p6zu4aHOtR1usobm2o1_1280.png[/img] Firewall.

She also has help from "Firewall" sometimes using her power to make a weapon or two.[/INDENT][/color] [color=ed1c24][B][ PHYSICAL STRENGTH ][/B][/color] ****------ 4/10 While she's stronger than your average human, her body didn't seemed designed for brute strength. [color=ed1c24][B][ AGILITY ][/B][/color] *********- 9/10 This, however, is where Setsuka is most dangerous. Supposedly, she's so quick that she can "Bullet Time" or move and/or react to sudden situations like bullets. [color=ed1c24][B][ INTELLIGENCE ][/B][/color] ********** 10/10 But if speed doesn't cut it, it's her smarts that also help. With her own "Wi Fi" ability, she can also gather info using the internet in the heat of combat. Plus, she's very perceptive. She also can study an opponent and attempt to anticipate her opponents next move. [color=ed1c24][B][ DESTRUCTIVENESS ][/B][/color] *****----- 5/10 Truth be told, this could vary. On her own, Setsuke could do some damage to property but lacks the physical strength to do anything major like knock over buildings. Gadgets, though, can change this but she avoids any unnecessary damage. [color=ed1c24][B][ LETHALITY ][/B][/color] ********-- 8/10 By far, this is the biggest mystery despite the 8 rating. With her speed, intelligence and even "stealth" based tactic's when necessary, Setsuka could be just as dangerous as a ninja that she dresses up as with a possibility to be a 10/10 threat. However, her avoidance on lethal force and need for gadgets and weapons puts this at odds, perhaps dropping her to 4/10 at lowest when unarmed. Depends on who she's fighting against. [color=ed1c24][B][ ENDURANCE ][/B][/color] ******---- 6/10 Don't let this rating fool you. Yes, as a robot, Setsuka does have a battery that makes her last alot longer than a normal person and perhaps some meta's but it still as a limit. Another part of her design, as noted by "Firewall" so far, is her need to enter "sleep mode" to recover her energy. While incredibly high, fatigue or power failure is still possible. Plus, her body can be damaged by a strong enough blow. [color=ed1c24][B][ EFFICACY ][/B][/color] ********-- 8/10 While very helpful, Setsuka does have some "human limitations" and weaknesses that can be exploited. Specific meta powers and/or weapons/gadgets can cause her problems for example unless she surprises her opponent first with her other strengths. Setsuka does perform well in a team though because of those strengths and can even give sage advice if anyone were to ask for info. [color=ed1c24][B][ SKILLS ][/B][/color] [color=Turquoise][INDENT] "Wi Fi" Scan - As stated in the rankings, Setsuka always has access to the internet unless she's in a "dead zone" where not even she can get a clear signal. With this, she can also scan anyone and anything within line of sight to gain personal information on said target. Sometimes if that even means "hacking" certain sources to retrieve such data. Analyzing Combat - Setsuka can also observe her opponent to try to anticipate their next move. Though unlike other robots, she doesn't "overrely on numbers". Sometimes, she makes her own personal guesses if the opponent is being unpredictable enough. Vision Modes - Setsuka also has a variety of vision modes. From X-Ray to Infared and even Sonar and Radar. Wall Climbing - Basically, Pakour skills but Setsuka can also use "molecular attraction" on its feet to literraly walk up walls if she wanted to. Similar to what comic book spider-man can do. Cloaking Garb - Setsuaka's garb is actually an enhanced piece of clothing that Firewall "upgraded" using her powers. Not only can it change colors but it can make her invisible. It's not perfect though. Infared and other methods still make her detectable.

Why a super such as him was placed in a government trained program over, say, Hero One, is also a mystery in itself. It's said, though, that Alpha had come from a normal mother and father but both had jobs with the military. The father being a soldier and the mother a medic. But for those who dig a bit into it, they would discover these general details. Back in the day, a drug cartel was starting to make it's rounds in some of the major cities. It's said that this cartel was smuggling some new stuff to supervillians and it was so bad that Alpha's father was helping lead a squad at the time and they had tracked a shipment of the stuff to an abandoned building somewhere in New York. His team raided the place and secured both the drugs as well as the criminals guarding it. But what they didn't know about was that said criminals were being led by a secret supervillian behind the scene's. And said supervillian wasn't happy. The supervillian soon got information about Alpha's dad which led him to his home...at the time the supervillian showed, a young Alpha was with a babysitter. And when the supervillian was about to send a deadly message at his expense...he awakened to his powers. It's said that Alpha had launched an explosive wave of energy from his own body that did little structural damage to the home but badly injured the babysitter. But it killed the supervillian. Records aren't clear but it's rumored that Alpha was only six years old at the time of that event and it traumaized him for life. Afterwards, it's said that Alpha's parents did their best to help their son recover using their military connections. Soon, it led to him being transfered to private schools while growing up. But as the parents feared, the incident took it's toll on him. Sure, he got excellent grades and still managed to advance in his education but it left him isolated. Anti-social. It seemed as if he was afraid of others but in truth, he was afraid of hurting others...or worse. And that's how it pretty much went till his highschool years. It was then that Alpha had made a request to train using his powers. His parents did note the lack of feeling he had when he made that request but saw in his eyes that he couldn't keep living his life like this. So, during whatever free time during his four years there, he trained with an unidentified military trainer to help manage his educational studies along with his powers. But then, things took a turn when Alpha was "recruited" to be apart of a new team of superheros after his senior year graduation. The US Government wanted to have their own team under their command in case of "extreme circumstances" as they put it. Of course, Alpha's parents protested but Alpha had willingly agreed. Of course, due to the lack of trust between between the government and hero groups like H.E.R.O. and I.C.O.S.A., such a team would most likely be flagged and disbanded. So the group was field tested in secret. It started off simple enough. Alpha was always sent within US broders to various cities to assist "normal" law enforcers like police and SWAT with any problems they may have. But everything took a bad turn one day when he and his team were sent to resolve a hostage crisis. A bank robbery had gone bad and a group of four masked gunmen had managed to force their way into a subway station. One of the criminals had managed to start up a subway train and got it moving till it was somewhere in between two subways stops in some random dark tunnel. Since it was reported that the criminals themselves were non-superpowered but had an unknown number of hostages, Alpha and his team were sent in as "SWAT" operators to help resolve the matter. It went smoothly till one of the four managed to escape the train after the team had secured the train and the other three gunmen with all the hostages alive and not harmed, litterally running for it down the dark tunnel. Alpha responded first and pursued and, to his surprise, the gunmen revealed himself to be a low level supervillian that was later I.D.ed as "Third Rail". An electicity user, he litterally lived up to his name and fought Alpha by manipulating the electrial energy from the third track rail and firing them at Alpha. Thanks to his aura though, Alpha was able to resist the attacks and was able to defeat him. Unfortunately, local hero's had just managed to catch up to Alpha and had just witnessed the fight. They immedately reported Alpha and his team. While I.C.O.S.A. immedately blew the whistle, they did appreciate the professional work they had done. They were, however, detained until further notice as punishment for accepting a position on a unauthorized superhero team. Even the US Government denied any involvement with the team and the case was immedately dismissed. After some time, the other team members were released but Alpha refused to leave. "...I messed up again...", he simply said. That's when Alpha was then released but sent to Castleburg. Apparently, Alpha was just accepted into the H.E.R.O. team by special recommendation from his parents. Perhaps understanding that it was to help him rather than punish him, Alpha accepted and joined Hero One.[/hider] To sum up the old story above, Alpha aka K Nine had a rough childhood growing up. Eventually, events would ultimately lead him to H.E.R.O. One through special recommendation from his military parents to join. There, K Nine would eventually go through a series of events that would change him ever so slightly and be more open with people. Even making choices and decisions that would make him follow his gut and heart rather than the rules despite it being morally right but against the law. Then came the series of battles and missions that involved a secret group of villains called the ZERO Organization. Then joining a group of surpringly good friends that put together their own team called "CREW". Meeting some of the members of the "Infinite" vigilantes. Then, yet another sequence of events actually had him go up against Commander ZERO himself of all villains...it should have been the end of him all things considering at the time hadn't not been for then Infinite leader "Red Tail" giving his life to protect him. It even showed him that despite being wanted criminals, even SOME vigilantes still believe in them and perhaps their own sense of justice. After about a year in recovery from such events, K Nine got back on the horse. Personally asking both then Commander of Hero One Hugo Powers and Second Commander Chirstina Lavendar to help him personally develop his own powers, he then under went training under their wing. Eventually, K Nine developed to such a degree that he was officially recognized as an "A Tier" Hero. Although K Nine never wanted to lead the organization, he still supported it over the decades of work he put in. More often, he helped to bridge the gap between hero organizations and law enforcement plus military. He wanted to show his respect to those that even if you don't have any powers, it shouldn't stop you from becoming a good hero. Seeing Lavandar perform was proof of it. Despite a decision he made in the past to ignore police orders, officiers like Bulldog held K Nine in high regard. He said that, "That guy's the only hero that actually gives a damn about our needs. People who put on the uniform and badge actually feel safe around him but also know not to take advantage of it. It's still a dangerous line of work but he makes sure we do it right." He has also gone to other cities to help other law enforcing organizations over the years but always made it a point to eventually come back to Castleburg. He owed so much to the city after all. Then, one day, K Nine just quietly vanished without a trace. It's said that perhaps he finally decided to settle down. Truth be told, he did but still keeps in touch with the remaining members of his old "CREW" team who are still alive. He just felt that it was time to hang it up. But then, he was contacted...sometimes "retirement" wasn't permanment...[/INDENT] [color=00aeef][b]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/b][/color] [indent]K Nine does keep in touch with members of his old group as stated. When ever he's in town, he pays them a visit if he can. He never tells anyone but he also picked up a hobby in gardening thanks to Pandora when he volenteers to help run her shop over the decades when he had down time.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Abilities] [color=00aeef][B][ RANKING ][/B][/color] [color=Turquoise][INDENT]A[/INDENT][/color] [color=00aeef][B][ POWERS ][/B][/color] [color=Turquoise]In terms of powers, "Ki Control" was the term used for K Nine. Put simply, it allowed him to "weaponize" his own bodies energy like in cartoons and anime and use it in various ways. As for his Ki based techniques, he has several but perfers to use the following: [b]Heal Factor[/b] - K Nine has saved many a life over the many years with this. Not just himself but he can also heal others while touching them provided that he has focus and energy to spare. He can't raise the dead with this power however so if someone is too far gone, he can't pull them back from the brink of death. While he can protect himself from diseases, he has trouble healing others from similar sickness unless it's "meta powered". [b]Enhanced Senses[/b] - K Nine can generally enhance his senses from sight, hearing, smell, etc. [b]"Power Up"[/b] - Basically, he can make himself slightly stronger across the board in terms of stats. Doing so for long periods of time does drain him however. [b]"Blue Bomb" Technique[/b] - A blue bomb is basically a specialized bomb that only harms organics and does little damage to inorganic. Basically, you won't topple any buildings unless it's super powerful but anything "living" either gets seriously hurt or dies. K Nine can actually "change" his energy so that it matches said bomb's power if he wants to hurt someone from within. Focusing his energy through his hands or feet like this can make him focus on internal injuries more than external. The very first time he used this was when he was six...that day when the supervillain invaded his house and he released it like an energy bomb itself...[/color] [color=00aeef][B][ PHYSICAL STRENGTH ][/B][/color] *******-- 8/10 - Ki Control *****----- 5/10 - Normal [color=00aeef][B][ AGILITY ][/B][/color] ********-- 8/10 - Ki Control *****----- 5/10 - Normal [color=00aeef][B][ INTELLIGENCE ][/B][/color] ********-- 8/10 [color=00aeef][B][ DESTRUCTIVENESS ][/B][/color] ********-- 8/10 - Ki Control ****------ 4/10 - Normal [color=00aeef][B][ LETHALITY ][/B][/color] ********-- 8/10 [color=00aeef][B][ ENDURANCE ][/B][/color] ********-- 8/10 - Ki Control *****----- 5/10 - Normal [color=00aeef][B][ EFFICACY ][/B][/color] ********-- 8/10 [color=00aeef][B][ SKILLS ][/B][/color] [color=Turquoise][INDENT] Close Quarters Combat (CQC) Firearms Training Basic First Aid Understanding Detective, SWAT and Military Training Gardening[/INDENT][/color] [color=00aeef][B][ EQUIPMENT ][/B][/color] [color=Turquoise][INDENT]K Nine is usually provided with equipment from other sources.

[color=silver][ APPEARANCE ][/color] Outside of her hero attire, Dawn is someone whose appearance in part speaks of the kind of odd, lab-experimented-on life she lived with her siblings prior to this point. Unnatural ruby-red eyes, pale skin, and her deathly white/greyish hair are all natural to her appearance, all being side effects of years of being a labrat and the results of the work done to her. Even so, these peculiar features of hers have been said by some in the regular, mundane world to have a ‘certain mystique’ to them in turn. To her siblings, though, these features of hers might as well be among the normal. However, her odd features and humble but high-stamina body have inadvertently left some others thinking or assuming she is ‘frailer’ somehow. Her body is lean but not unfit or undernourished looking, with her having undergone training at the lab to build her endurance and stamina up quite a good bit and continuing to keep that up even now, though she does not look like a massive mass of muscle either to be frank. Likewise, don’t expect to see her express much when it comes to being on or off of the battlefield, as her face dons its usual and rather well-kept expressionless stoicism seemingly no matter what. Otherwise she simply looks like a relatively ‘normal’ seventeen year old girl. In terms of clothing, she seems to prefer to use what she has deemed ‘comfortable’ attire. Skirts and comfortable shorts feature heavily in her choices, thigh-high socks are a standard, and T-shirts commonly feature as well. In fall and winter the skirts usually say, but get longer, and shirts as well as any blouses she might wear in this sort of weather become longer-sleeved. When it comes to her attire in the field, however, her style abruptly shifts into: A heavy, long-sleeved, insulated, zip-up trench coat with kevlar woven into it and select ‘pieces’ of kevlar woven into the inside lining for better protection and balance out the weight. An all-weather advanced gas mask with attached ‘headphones’ for comms and filtering out or honing in on specific sounds. A pair of ong dark pants able to withstand wilderness journeys in rough terrain. A pair of tall black boots with steel toes and no-slip traction on the bottom, paired with socks meant for comfort for long treks such as long distance hiking. Beyond this, her hero attire underneath this all is...actually rather light for her torso, allowing her to generate/produce insects easily so they can emerge from the many open points on her attire otherwise. Her attire is breathable/ventilated enough, even the mask oddly enough (she never complains about it at least), to not get overheated in the field. If that ever did become an issue, casting a piece of this attire aside would make her lighter, albeit more vulnerable, and able to handle it. [color=silver][ PERSONALITY TRAITS ][/color] Intelligent Calculating Diligent Loyal Calm Stoic Curious Emotionally Maladjusted [color=silver][ BIO ][/color] Subject 36, later dubbed ‘Delta’, was fourth of the seven children considered ‘successful’ subjects produced by the Typhon Project under the direction of The Poacher. She would later serve in the facility and even in the field with The Poacher and her ‘older siblings’, having earned the name “Delta”, protecting her ‘father’ against numerous rivals, outside forces, and even the vile so-called ‘heroes’ when they came into conflict with them. It was a life that would later lead to her and her sibling witnessing the ‘heroes’ they were told were only evil saving their younger ‘sibling’ Epsilon, and ultimately lead to a trail of doubts and secret hunt for information that would bear to them the horrible truth of their lives. Father was no good man, though his end goal was a mystery, and he as well as [i]themselves[/i] had performed truly horrible acts over the past years. From here a planned escape and attempted break-out amidst the confusion of a hero raid on the facility they lived in, before Gamma led them to freedom as Alpha and Beta opened the way. However, her secondary ‘nickname’ at the lab, “Machine Delta”, didn’t come without reason either in the past. Even as a subject, Delta came to be withdrawn and rather emotionally detached throughout the experiments to the point she seemed to lack emotion at all. She seemed to become more so under the guidance of The Poacher at that. Cool, calculated, efficient, controlled, inhumanly focused, and intelligent, she was a prime subject who was trained to perform complex operations using her power as a means of infiltration and undertaking covert operations at first. This would later segway into the expanded use of her power to take down more vulnerable targets, targeting key personnel and individuals to bring down enemy operations, and even working on training her very real potential for assassination. She killed her targets without hesitation, and if it meant success in the mission and especially preserving her siblings she would do it without batting an eye at it. In other words, she was like a proper and unfeeling [i]killing machine[/i] herself. Yet this aside, she did seem to possess a fondness of her other six ‘siblings’, in part shown by her silent but dedicated aggression when trying to keep them safe and supported in the field. Emotional expression/regulation was never her strong suit by far, however, despite her attempts once in a blue moon. She once brought a treat she stole from the kitchen to Alpha, after a hard mission that saw Alpha injured on her behalf defending her, only for her older sibling’s smile and resulting thanks to cause her to stand totally still and utterly space out without moving for a full hour. When once frustrated by a certain highly irritating day at the facility a few times in the past, she seemed to literally ‘bug out’ in some way or another whenever her anger would hit its peak. Literally. It would make the area she ‘lost it’ in dangerous for a bit until she calmed down or had a sibling or her ‘father’ come in to talk her back down. She would even on certain occasions sit with her younger ‘siblings’ when they were having a bad day...but would just do so mechanically and silently unless asked to leave or until said younger siblings calmed back down. Such episodes never happened in the field, but seemed reserved for when she was back at the facility. It was only when she saw Epsilon saved by one of the ‘so-called evil heroes’ that she hesitated to strike at the hero who saved him. She hesitated. The first time she’d ever had a moment of hesitation like that in her life, it was a shock to her system that sent her mind reeling. Even her hobby of tinkering at the lab, a thing taken up by her own curiosity, could not shake it. It would take being around her siblings to help foster this change in her mindset, but regardless she stayed by their side without needing to think about it. It was as natural to her as breathing air, but over those months prior to their attempted escape she assisted them and would struggle to cope with the reality that she knew to be real now. There were more emotional regulation issues that would manifest in episodes or other little ways, but through it all her siblings were there with her… ...which is what made the later confrontation with their ‘father’ that much harder. Seeing the ‘failed’ subjects unleashed on them enraged her to no end, and Gamma ultimately having to drag her away through the escape path Alpha and Beta carved for them, it was too much for her. Losing two of her siblings that day. Seeing so many others turned into monstrosities, who had once been like her and her siblings at that. She truly went ‘berserk’ for the first time as she was pulled away, a desire to kill her ‘father’ burning in her blood like lava as she struggled to break her sibling’s grip and charge at the man and her insects swarmed suicidally into the horde. She roared in rage and bloodlust, tears streaming down her face like overflowing rivers, and for the first time her face was twisted an expression...albeit now a monstrous visage of raw, pure, and utter fury. She would later pass out after her and her remaining siblings’ escape was finished, exhausted and unable to so much as move her own legs after it all. Bit by bit she pulled herself back somewhat, returning to that same blank stare and expression as she tried to assist Gamma in helping them survive. She could only do so much, though, but fueled by desperation to keep her remaining family alive she pushed herself regardless. She even cast aside some of her own meals for her younger siblings to have just a bit more each, and had even resolved herself to do whatever was needed if things got bad enough. Anything. But please, she couldn’t lose another one. Please. Not another of the only ‘family’ she knew and had left. She had to be strong for them. She had to. In the end, her and her siblings’ meeting with a certain tired-eyed man would give them the chance The Poacher never had. To become a real hero...just like Alpha and Beta had become. So that became the desire and life goal she etched into her heart, second only to keeping her family safe. She would seek to learn everything she could about the world, read every book, take every lesson, train until her body gave out, anything to become a true and proper hero. She would pay any price to do her best, to ensure others had the chance her two oldest siblings never had. The world needed heroes, and so she would rise to the call in turn...no matter how hard the road ahead. [color=silver]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/color] She is definitely not a fan of pranks. Dangerous results emerge if pranked. Literally. ABORT, ABORT- She does enjoy incredibly spicy foods, and can withstand strong flavors to the point she once ate a bite out of a whole piece of garlic without batting an eye. It was a learning experience, and a prank performed on her, but she didn’t even flinch or anything afterward. [s]She only swarmed the cook who pranked her with it, as it was the first time she’d ever seen proper garlic, and both the kitchen was unable to be used for the next 12 hours and the prank puller had to be cared for medically for several days due to the numerous and not light injuries he received that day.[/s] Was once dared back at the lab, by a couple of workers, to eat durian...she did it. Hasn’t been a fan of dares since then. She also seems to prefer warmer weather to the colder sort. Like herself and some of her older siblings, she has field and combat and such related experiences under her belt already. [hider=Abilities] [color=silver][ RANKING ][/color] C (or C+? Not sure on the ranking. TwT) [color=silver][ POWERS ][/color] Before the experimentation performed on her as a subject of the Typhon Project, Dawn actually possessed a superpower...albeit one that had not yet awakened. Her hero gene had yet to activate or kick into action, she being a case of a ‘late bloomer’, thus when experimentation began it would ultimately change the nature of her power once it finally did emerge. Originally her power was one that would allow her to transform into a dense black fog and back to normal, as well as produce/generate this dense black fog in turn as a secondary capability. The nature of this fog would have been unknown, but likely would have had a unique nature or effect when exposed to it or being within it. Due to experimentation, however, her power no longer allows her to transform into a dense black fog...but instead a great swarm of alien-looking insects [url=https://i.imgur.com/WukD0pe.jpg]1.5x as big as the insects in this picture[/url]. She can also secondarily generate these bugs from her body, this instead of the original secondary of producing/generating the fog from herself in turn. In other words, the fog was simply replaced with insects. The bugs are themselves an extension of herself in turn, moved about and coordinated by her and so forth as easily and naturally for Dawn as breathing is. [hider=Details About The Bugs] Their bodies are covered in a light gray carapace, bearing three sets of sharp-footed legs that can grab hold of things efficiently. They also have a pair of two-jointed and rather capable ‘arm-legs’ that emerge from a bit behind the head, which can be used to grab things as well as act as another set of legs in a very flexible and versatile fashion, the ends/tips of which are sharp and can pierce through flesh with ease and grab hold onto things generally effectively just like the legs can. Each bug also has four dark red eyes on its face, and a powerful set of jaws that can bite through even hardened steel and chew it up. This is paired with a very potent acidic substance in their stomachs they use to digest said metals and whatever else they eat rapidly, which acidic substance can even digest metals and glass much stronger than what their jaws are capable of biting through. This acidic substance can be spit up onto things as well, a nice bit from each individual insect, albeit this is not ranged and is not a ranged attack. Rather it is simply applied by the bugs landing on something and spitting up on them akin to a fly. The ‘tail’ is a two-jointed piece of carapace akin to an arm or leg, but longer than the ‘arms’ or ‘legs’ and having a highly sharp blade-like end on it, one that might as well be a scalpel and is capable of precise movement and being whipped down underneath the body to cut into or pierce targets. Can also be used to scratch even strong metals and types of glass, but not cut through them. The bugs can be used to set up an external nest to breed and propagate beyond Dawn generating/producing them herself. A more long-term and slower process, though, which is far from battle-ready and only makes this function useful to create extra insects to store a mass of them up for later use. (Also good for keeping pests out of HERO’s buildings alongside the usual pest control measures. XD) [/hider] [center]-Weaknesses-[/center] The bugs might be big and frightening looking, but they are also able to be killed like any other bug. Smash. Squish. Crush. Crunch. Zap. All of the good stuff. That is the main reason they are used in numbers for any sort of combat situation. If Dawn turns into a swarm of bugs and too many of them die, she cannot change back to her normal human form. Kill all of her bugs in this scenario, and ensure no more are alive elsewhere, and Dawn is just ‘dead’. Literally. Fully. Completely. No coming back. (Instead, in this case of being unable to transform abc she has to use the remaining bugs she has to set up and grow more via a nest/hive the ‘old fashioned way’. Then when she has enough insects, she can gather a mass together to transform back to her normal human form.) Proper insecticides are not only rather effective against her bugs, but also are just as effective against her in her normal human form as well. Ouch. She is a normal human and the insects are both not super durable by any means. She is normal human durability, insects are dangerous but just as squishy as any other insects. [color=silver][ PHYSICAL STRENGTH ][/color] ■■■□□□□□□□ Standard human strength. [color=silver][ AGILITY ][/color] ■■■■■■■□□□ In her normal human form she is a 3/10. The bugs are far more agile, albeit small as well, than she is normally in her human form, being a very solid 7/10. [color=silver][ INTELLIGENCE ][/color] ■■■■□□□□□□ A ‘savant’ for knowledge and learning since after escaping the lab and finding help. An avid reader who can knock out reading books in record times, and already familiar enough with internet use through many hours of ‘research’. Etc. She isn’t some super genius who can do fifty thousand things, etc, but in terms of her capabilities in learning and processing/integrating things mentally she is rather adept indeed. A splendid learner. [color=silver][ DESTRUCTIVENESS ][/color] ■■■■□□□□□□ As destructive as swarms and nests of killer insects that can eat metal and have powerful digestive acid can be. Can be destructive, but depends on what or where is targeted. Being really destructive requires significant time and effort unless it is a special enough case, at best, despite the capabilities of the insects. [color=silver][ LETHALITY ][/color] ■■■■■■■■□□ Destructive? Not so much. Lethal? Very much yes. Powerful bugs that can slice, spit up acid on, puncture, and chew through people are very much lethal. Especially since they are normally used in swarms. Big swarms. [color=silver][ ENDURANCE ][/color] ■■■■■□□□□□ Possesses abnormal endurance, and has done endurance and stamina training for...as long as she can remember at least. Isn’t superhumanly durable, but can force herself to ignore her own pain and push through it even in...ahem...not the best of shape by far. In that manner she is kinda creepy and robotic. 5/10. [color=silver][ EFFICACY ][/color] ■■■■■■■□□□ A generally rather efficient power, versatile and capable of both attacking and things such as infiltrating and spying beyond that. Not too destructive at all, not the strongest power at that, but the user can be generally useful in the field as well as outside of it. 7/10. [color=silver][ SKILLS ][/color] Jujitsu and Judo (Non-strength reliant combat techniques and martial arts in case of close combat) Infiltration Espionage ‘Cooking’ (Not Really; Aka, don’t let Dawn/Delta cook, for the love of all that is good just don’t.) Endurance/Stamina Training Video Games (as of late) [color=silver][ EQUIPMENT ][/color] Phone (How did she manage to get this?) Wallet (Seems normal enough at least.) [/hider] [/hider] [/quote] Looks good. I'd say tier should be C+. Accepted!
