[hider=Wiccan]Real Name: William “Billy” Kaplan Codename: Wiccan Age: 18 Gender: Male Appearance: [img] https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Wiccan-Asgardian-Marvel-Comics-Young-Avengers-Billy-Kaplan.jpg[/img] Personality: Billy has always been a nerd. He has been a fan of all sorts of forms of entertainment. He adores superheroes. He often gets excited about stuff related to his interests. Billy is generally optimistic and happy go lucky. Even when he was being bullied, he tried his best not to let it bog him down too much. Billy is a bit of a hard-head. More often than not, he'll run into a dangerous situation with little more than a half-baked plan and a hope that things will come out okay. He's passionate about what he believes in, and becomes disappointed whenever a hero he's idolized doesn't live up to expectations. Powers/Abilities: Wiccan’s powers are extensive, unpredictable, powerful, possibly mutant, and most definitely magical. Typically, his abilities manifest as electrokinetic energy from his hands, which Wiccan can manipulate in numerous ways—both offensively and defensively. Wiccan can also teleport himself and his teammates over long distances, fly, create objects from thin air, levitate objects, project force, energy, ice, heat, and fire, and create force fields and other solid energy objects. Skills: Enjoys video games, and is good at them. Is also an artist and likes to draw. History: The Avengers Vision and Scarlet Witch once had twin children. This was an extraordinary occurrence, considering Vision is a synthetic being and Scarlet Witch is a chaos magician. Unfortunately for the couple, the children were undone. Still they were eventually reincarnated as regular people. Billy was born the eldest of 3 sons, to parents Jeff and Rebecca Kaplan. When he was young, Billy realized he was gay, and so took a lot of abuse from classmates. After getting into a fight with some bullies, Billy has an encounter with the Scarlet Witch. She heals him, and tells him to stand up for himself. That’s exactly what he did the next time he had a run in with that same bully. Unluckily for him, the electrokinetic aspect of Billy’s powers manifested, and the bully was nearly killed. After that incident, Billy began to practice his magic powers, and wished to find Wanda again, to whom he felt a special connection. He believes she may have activated something in him when she healed his injuries that day. Unfortunately for him, this was around the time the Avengers disbanded after it was revealed that Hydra was in control of SHIELD. That didn’t last too long. He was soon approached by Captain America. He had recruited him to join a New Avengers Initiative. How on Earth Captain America knew who he was, Billy did not know, but he wasn’t complaining. After he graduated from high school, he moved in to the old Avengers Mansion. There were some heroes he recognized, and some he didn’t. Including one boy who looked almost exactly like him but with white hair. He didn’t know what was up with that. Sample Storylines: Children’s Crusade: Billy and Tommy discover they are the reincarnated souls of Wanda’s twin boys, and they look for Scarlet Witch. And Vision too I guess… Drama involving magic WiccanxHulkling: I want Billy/Teddy romance! [/hider] [hider=Speed]Real Name: Thomas “Tommy” Shepherd Codename: Speed Age: 18 Gender: Male Appearance: [img]https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Speed-Marvel-Comics-Young-Avengers-Tommy-Shepherd.jpg[/img] Personality: As is typical of a Speedster, Tommy has a hard time sitting still. He thinks the world moves too slow, and is waiting for everyone else to catch up with him. He is reckless, and arrogant and likes to show off whenever he has the chance. He tends to shoot first and ask quest later. He's incredibly cynical about relationships and friendships lasting. Nonetheless, there is nothing more than Tommy wants to be loved. He will be loyal to someone when he finally learns to trust them, and he will never hesitate to do something that he deems right. Tommy is incredibly worried about failing and disappointing people he admires or respects. As a result, he will often push himself past his limits and sometimes needs to be stopped from harming himself. Powers/Abilities: Tommy is a speedster. This means that he can run at speeds that a normal human would never achieve. His top speed is unknown, but he is fast enough to break the soundbarrier and run over water. His body is made in a way that allows him to endure frictions that would flail anyone else alive and bones that are made not to shatter in a collision at high speed. That doesn't mean he is invulnerable; a bullet at any speed could kill him. Besides running fast, Tommy also functions incredibly fast. He can do things at speed nobody else can and has a brain to match them. His brain is made to function at incredible speeds that allow him to catch all the details during a run. This also means he can read a book in mere seconds and remember everything he has read. A major setback to his powers is that all this has left Tommy with a skewed perception of time. What might be minutes for somebody is hours for him and it is both incredibly frustrating and lonely for him. Skills: He has never stuck with a hobby for too long. He gets bored quickly. He does enjoy a good fistfight, but isn’t formally trained. History: Tommy was born to Frank and Mary Shepherd in New Jersey. His parents divorced when he was barely four years old. Tommy lived mostly with his father after his mother rejected him, believing him not to be her son due to the fact that he barely resembled his parents with his striking white hair and green eyes. Tommy spent most of his childhood getting into trouble; he could barely sit still for longer than five minutes and was often bullied for this and his unnatural hair color. Frank got a girlfriend who was anti-mutant and felt Tommy was one and they often fought. Frank often took her side and disapproved of all Tommy's accomplishments or lack thereof. He often got into trouble, and was in and out of juvenile hall for various things. His powers manifested when he was thirteen year old. He was in school when it happened and lost control over his powers instantly, blowing up the math class. Tommy was sent to a superjuvenile hall because of his record as troublemaker and the fact that he was a mutant. Superjuvie was not a good time for Tommy. There was a lack of adherence to basic human rights. Tommy's parents never came for him, even though they were informed, leaving Tommy bitter and angry with parental figures. Scientists took an interest in a speedster with an ability to blow things up and Tommy was poked and prodded like an animal as they tried to turn him into a weapon. He had been there for months, before being paid a visit by Captain America. He wasn’t judgemental, and didn’t treat him like some kind of criminal. He would be released from the facility, under the condition that he would serve on the new Avengers initiative. Between that and jail, the choice was obvious. So, he moved into the old Avengers Mansion. There were a bunch of other people there, including another boy who looked exactly like him, but with black hair. Weird… Sample Storylines: Tommy’s storyline is connected to Billy, but I would like him to have something of his own too. Captain America may have plucked Tommy out of Superjuvie, but he still needs to atone for his actual crimes. Perhaps that involves saving other imprisoned mutants? Also, Tommy deserves a Love interest too, so he has to meet Prodigy. Likely the previous thing relates to this.[/hider]
