NOTE:
This RP is a relaunch of an RP run by RisingRobin, so will use some of the framework that he has built, including the initial setup of the world. This work will therefore be a production that is original, produced independently but based upon much of the same content that he made, so existing characters can be directly ported! Lots of the sheets / formatting is owed to him, but the content from here will be produced on a new basis!

Welcome to Dispatch!
Here to save the world?
Well, the subscribers are the only ones that pay for you to save their world. So let's focus on that first, yeah?
But like they say, you make sure SDN are their rock, so they can rock, right?
And maybe, just maybe, you'll find your way out of a suburban city where nothing happens to DTLA, up in the top of the game, where the biggest heroes are in the world?
For now, best we do an workplace induction. We'll cover the city, and go over your job application.
Claremont, California
The city of Claremont is a quiet suburb, mostly with academia, the "Claremont Colleges", lots of trees, indie bars, and not much going on.
This is as quaint as American subrubia gets, and you're here because you're starting out, retiring, or really, really weren't up to scratch in the hustle of central Los Angeles. The branch covers Ontario, and Rancho Coronado, so the distances are big to scale for the lack of action, meaning our heroes, already stretched, have a lot of ground to cover. But not that there is much to respond to.
This is remarkably, not as hot a posting as Compton, Long Beach, Torrence. Or compared to any other city on the East Coast.
But, did you think you'd get off easy posting here? Drunk frat boys, the gangbangers who are trying to gentrify "The City of Trees and PhDs", and there's always other branches which might need your hero's.....specialist capabilities. Don't be surprised if you get the phone call to DTLA too. There's plenty going on in that big city, and beyond the leafy city, and you're certainly going to be on that frontline.
Hero
Bold, brave and always fighting to protect those who cannot protect themselves, you are always willing to take charge and throw yourself head first into danger… however life-threatening it may be.
Are you a first time hero looking to make your mark? Maybe you've been active for awhile and are looking for a change? You may even be one of those hopefuls who think you can run with DTLA. If this applies to you, then Claremont is the place to be. We have open tryouts regularly and unlike SOME SDN branches, we’re willing to look past your powers and see what use you can do regardless. We believe even un-powered civilians can make a difference! Looking at you, Mecha-Man! (Disclaimer: SDN Claremont does NOT encourage non-powered civilians to apply without SIGNIFICANT assistance).
Phoenix Program
The Phoenix Program offers a variety of benefits including health insurance coverage, 401K matching, and most importantly an honest, consistent paycheck.
For those of you joining us from the “other side” of the law, you’ll find a place in the Phoenix Program. Due to a decline in employment for heroes since the Brave Brigade incident, you’re being brought in to fill the gaps in our lineup. Not only will you get a chance to actually do some good with your lives, but if you do well… we may look into commuting your sentences. Be aware that if you have criminal history, you'll be required to submit to annual screenings and drug tests to ensure you aren't backsliding. We've learned a lot since Torrance's issues with the bat guy...
Office Staff
Lastly, we have our core team of office workers, managers, sales reps, R&D, and - of course - our dispatchers. These are the people who form the backbone of SDN and ensure the office runs smoothly throughout the workday. From simple tasks like keeping the office clean to providing crucial field support for the heroes; it’s these folks who are the REAL heroes. Just like in Downtown, much of our staff is made of former heroes themselves! They just never quite hit the big time (Or made it at all). Nevertheless, get to know these folks. They’ll be there when no one else is!

This RP will rely upon one of my characters acting as a "Dispatcher".
This will rely on a loosely "Storyteller" based system, where your character's traits will be matched against a luck-based system to see how you complete tasks. This means your reactions will be to dispatched jobs, and whether they went well, or not. You might not be dispatched to the right job, but based on my experience of running other RPs such as Delta Hyper, this means no result is always the same, and you'll always have a fun reaction!
That said, beyond this, the RP is also qualitative in most other ways, with a rough "arc" of a plot. So if you're not a dice or systems person, don't worry- you'll still have plenty of room to work / play around here!
There'll be a broad pivot that you'll play an "Afternoon" shift at SDN- split into two, with performance across the two used to inform how I as the GM react to you. You'll also have time outside of work, and the more you give, the more we'll all have fun. Plus, The Cowl Inn serves a mean Meanie IPA and is where you'll have the time to stretch your legs off shift.

While this RP doesn't take itself seriously, we're gonna need a little here to make sure we're all on the same page. We do this, we all get to have wacky, fun characters and go for a thrill ride. If not, it sucks for everyone. Courtesy of SilverwindBlade's common rule set, please follow the following:
This is a modern to near-future setting. However, this ISN’T, and a setting hard and fast rule I have- a universe where everything else runs riot.
Post length is expected to be Casual to Advanced- no one or two line posts, please. This means at minimum two paragraphs in a post- four or so being optimum to really flesh out your character's response and furthering of the plot. I don't prescribe a top end limit, but use your imagination on how much you can write in a single segment- if it's longer, feel free to write longer! I usually do, you do not have to!
Follow Wheaton's Law at all times. Don't be a dick- GM is God, and while this RP is very fast and loose, if you're asked to bring something into line, expect there might be good reason for it.
This RP will have adult themes, and romance is a part of that if you want it to be- however, nothing that the Gods of RPG wouldn't want on the public side when smut is concerned. If you want to go beyond, that shit goes off this RP into 1x1 if it is 18+ in any manner. Before that though, be my guest.
Equally, I have no bloody problem with a bit of fucking swearing, you bunch of cunts, but don't take it to excess, all right, fuckers?
A sense of humour is not optional. Please be good-natured and good-humoured to one another in the OOC.
Minimum post of one per week, per person. If you can't post, please mention in the OOC or drop me a PM. If it's unexpected - i.e. family emergency, your internet goes out, etc - then just let me know when you come back, and I'll catch you up. These things happen. It is not my job to chase you to post! If you're interested enough to be here in the first place, then it's up to you to post. If you're 'too lazy' to keep up, then I'm too lazy to chase your arse to get you to do it. It's a matter of manners and etiquette.
Don't talk down to people. I don't care how much knowledge of real-world systems of geography you might have, or how much of an encyclopedia on legs you are about such things. If you're trying to be a smartarse because you've found a 'loophole', then you're not playing in the spirit of things, and you should probably leave. That's even with an admittedly loose playbook. Be kind, and the sort of person you would want to write with if you get something wrong, because nobody is perfect.
If I don't know about it, then it doesn't exist. You may have this amazing secret plot worked out for your character - but if you don't tell me about it, then it ain't happening. Because I've already got a storyline worked out, and if it doesn't fit, then it's not going in. Same with technology and whatever you 'think' it should be like- I am open to ideas, but tell me if you think it's something that makes you say "That might be too far out there".
Please respect the setting and keep it in mind- there's plenty of ridiculous and cool shit on offer, so play with that here- keep the other material to other RPs.
What you give, is what you get. Put in a lot into this RP, work with me in the lore, and I will make this pay off. Engage, play fair, and get to banter with your party-mates, because a great party relies on good vibes, and is for everyone, but to do that, you need to be real, be honest, not judge, and give yourself into the idea. This means if you really want to run riot, run riot and I'll basically give you the keys to do that, in that environment, with the detail you have. Within the line of the story, you have freedom to execute, react, interact, and play into the game how you want best, and I will always react to it, forcing you to change plans, and adapt. I'm investing a lot into this RP- I expect the same from players and while life gets in the way, I expect that if you're finding it hard to be interested, I prefer honesty over quiet, I really prefer being told if I'm doing something wrong than losing / tapering interest. Engagement for me is key because I will give it back for you!
That said, if you fob off the GM and other players, you will not enjoy it. If you repeatedly, refuse to engage, and want to do your own thing- go write your own thing. My RPs are self selecting, and I have a no assholes rule for that reason- I'm happy to listen to your ideas but also, don't be offended when I balance the RP for other players who also have theirs too. If you harm the fun of other players, I will also ask you to leave.
GM's word is final. I appreciate people wanting to help, but final approval for plot, lore, and characters comes from me. Though, by all means, please feel free to make suggestions and help others with ideas and information where possible, and point out if something isn't there or working when it should be, because that helps us all.
Lastly, and most critically- AI is fine for use in posts, but DO NOT post anything AI-generated that has not been flagged / marked up as such. This RP is meant to be a creative endeavour- and I don't want to see something put to generative AI tool if you can’t be bothered to write, as this hollows my reaction as a GM and will ruin yours, and other player experiences unless you make that clear that it was used in an assistive or responsible manner. Do not use generative AI text in creating your character, or writing without significant personalisation, modification and/or flagging where used. Use it for inspiration, lift stuff from it to help you describe something, use images (and tell me if so), but if it is found without reference, you will breach this rule. If this isn’t a rule you like, you can use AI to build you this RP in any generative tool, with all the detail copied into it, and you are welcome to play with it in your own time. Don’t make me, or other people who enjoy originally produced content read what you produce if it isn't your own.

So,I did want to pitch an idea for a certain kind of shapeshifter. Should I have a stat layout for each form, or just leave that up in the air?
The actualy mechanic of it I was thinking could just be a wheel spin maybe, or set by the dispatch.

@Redking0380
Hmm, that is a tricky one!
It depends on the kind of shapeshifter- what your character would shift into, as the easiest way would be to invert stats (ie Sonar), rather than leave it poly (for lots of different animals / beings). The mechanic is likely to be set in the dispatch, but probably a simple inversion would be the easiest to work with, say, he might be able to go from one form to another, but later on, there can be modifiers / tweaks to that system as I'm actually building it for future shifts!
But if keen, post up a CS and I'm happy to review it and take a gander :)

Well, It was going to be vaguely based on a character or maybe just a straight rip. To keep stuff simple I was thinking maybe one for each category?
Something that would end up like 4/0/0/0/0? Or even toss a negative in there or some such.
GM
@Redking0380
I would say for balance, I'd say you can't have a dedicated INT/CHA form, but you could have one optimised for Combat, Mobility, and Vigour. That creates a nice challenge for the dispatcher to pick jobs that are "specialist", but don't have a dedicated "specialist" left availible, making them a really good jack of all trades and a master of something, but neither are as "high" a level as they can be.
Happy for you to work on that basis you suggest at the end- I wouldn't overspecialise (to the extreme you suggested), let's say, maybe you have a pick of 9 for each form (not total, for each actual form), but you can pick anything in that realm?

See what the thoughts are on this
"Don’t you know? It’s all a matter of Perspective."
Age: Lady is too cryptic to actually give an answer, but we got records on her going back 40 years.
Appearance: A tall, pale woman dressed in regal attire. Her hair is long and white, eyes steely and grey, the entire appearance monochrome and vaguely unsettling. She appears human, two eyes, two arms, ten fingers and toes, but spending any time with her makes her appear more and more uncanny to the naked eye. Perhaps too human, perhaps not enough. It is a matter of ones view of her after all.
Role at SDN: Phoenix Program
Background: Once upon a time, in a world long ago did a battle take place. A love story written in blood and carved upon bones. It ended in sorrow, it ended in peace, it ended in a long quiet that enveloped her. But no ending is final, and no story truly concludes where the narration stops.
A plan to kill death succeeded, but its slayer was given too much mortality. To much regret, to much kindness, to much humanity. In its sorrow did an unchanging world get left behind and in its great claws did it tear itself asunder in grief stricken attempts to put together something it had unmade.
It worked, in part. A mound of shifting possibilities limited to something…real.
Thus did the first of the ‘Princess Sightings’ happen. A grey woman in a burnt dress standing still in a crowded street in New York, a felinid attacking someone unprovoked, an hour of all consuming light that caused a small town in Arkansas to claim they had seen a god. All of them in the same dress and tiara set. Sporadic, insane, and mysterious.
It was only a scant few years ago where things solidified. Rumors become solid enough to act upon, information becoming trackable, and just a few months ago enough was gathered to lead to an arrest.
She claimed all the crimes as her own, all actions as uncoerced, and above all else saw none of it as wrong. Talking about some gruesome things with an airy voice that could be said to contain a childlike wonder, a joy at having been able to experience such things.
The very same thing was said when a tentative offer was made to join the Phoenix Program.

- Traffic Violations
- Littering
Likes: List some things your character likes
- Birds, Like her beloved
- Drawing, to envision the world and herself within
- New experiences
- Playing Instruments
Dislikes: List some things your character dislikes
- Small Spaces
- Stories, for they are limited and end
- Laws. for being convoluted
- Knives
Quirks: Add some details that make your character unique! Can be an odd habit or just some information not revealed in the image or the backstory!
- Has a large raven that she is protective of.
- Any place she stays too long tends to start turning black and white. It gets better, eventually.
- Has a habit of just…showing up when people least expect someone to be there\
- Really bad at social queues. Good conversationalist though.
Powers: Princess is a shapeshifter of limited uses. There are several she has that offer no real benefit to the field or to anything beyond a change in perspective. Regardless of these forms, she is a surprisingly capable scrapper with above-human strength and tenacity. Using solid form and dirty tactics to take down her enemies.
Base Stats
Combat: 2
Vigor: 2
Mobility: 2
Charisma: 1
Intellect: 1
Combat - The Razor
A smiling and sadistic transformation. Eschewing things like arms for blades, and blades, and you guessed it. More blades. Not really that good for nonlethal missions, but she can just take an arm. Or a leg. Don’t worry, they’ll live if you tell her not to kill them. She will make sure of it.
Combat: 4
Vigor: 1
Mobility: 2
Charisma: 1
Intellect: 1
Vigor - The Adversary
A towering transformation, increasing strength exponentially and maybe getting a little to fight crazy. Not to say she won’t help otherwise, just that she might punch something first, during, or after.
Combat: 2
Vigor: 4
Mobility: 1
Charisma: 1
Intellect: 1
Mobility - The Beast
A bestial transformation, capable of moving at blinding speeds. Its specialty does not lie in speed even if it is proficient in it, but in stealth. Not simply blending into the shadows but becoming almost one with them, presence erased from all but the most keen until her jaws are round their neck.
Combat: 1
Vigor: 1
Mobility: 4

Princess is fucking terrifying.
I like the balance, also, her rap sheet is insane XD!
Accepted :)
What I might do for the new batch is create an additional post, where all the heroes who are coming in have an additional set of dispatches given by James :)

What I might do for the new batch is create an additional post, where all the heroes who are coming in have an additional set of dispatches given by James :)
I mean, I could easily make it worse. What ccould go wrong>?

A beast of ravenous hunger and ethereal grace, the Sin Eater is strong and hardy, capable of phasing through most obstacles and blending into the shadows. Regenerates from most damage, and shrinks when damaged too severely, increasing speed but decreasing strength. Both bipedal and quadrupedal, it can traverse nearly any terrain with ease. It can consume nearly anything, particularly people, in large quantities and store them inside its “stomach” for a period of time. It feeds off the negative energies of those it swallows to sustain itself and then regurgitates them, alive and whole. Though it can’t “speak” in the most general sense, it can mimic the sounds of voices it has heard.
Sin Eater
Tyler Harven
“Second verse, same as the first. You can scream now.”Tyler Harven
Age: 18 (barely)
Appearance:
Currently standing at 5’3, with a fairly athletic build and a head of perpetually messy blond hair that he’s entirely given up on fixing, Tyler rarely shows any change in his signature bored expression, even in the most intense of moments. He looks younger than he actually is, even discounting the other thing. Tyler doesn’t have a specific style, but his usual attire consists of a long-sleeved cream-coloured shirt, a sleeveless overshirt and dress pants, though his style changes with age. Literally.
Role at SDN: Dispatcher (former Hero)
Background:
Born into a generational occultist family, Tyler was cursed from birth, his soul intrinsically bound to a “malevolent” creature from below. His parents, in their fanatic reverence, permanently altered the course of his life. With an origin like that, it was almost certain that his life would inevitably end up going down a dark path.
Yet, call it fate or simply luck, but the trajectory of his life was shifted by one simple act of stupidity from someone at the wrong place at the right time. All that led to his family’s estate being raided by a collaboration between heroes and the police, with most of his family being either killed or arrested. Tyler, barely out of his infancy at the time, was sent into foster care, where he lived a fairly unremarkable life for years. A precocious child, he showed a high capacity for learning at a young age, though it didn’t help much with finding a family that actually wanted him and wasn’t put off by the “thing” that always followed him.
It wasn’t until he got older that his “powers” manifested in a rather gruesome manner.
The aftermath of that incident presented him with two paths. He chose the third option and decided to have a conversation, coming to a “mutually” beneficial agreement with his counterpart.
Years passed, and he eventually found himself becoming a hero, of a sort. Despite the terrifying appearance of the creature he could become, he was surprisingly well-liked—and feared a pretty healthy amount—since the criminals that he captured rarely, if ever, reoffended.
However, it didn’t take long for things to get complicated. Each time he transformed, he lost time, or rather, he gained it. At first, it was only a day at a time, but the more active he became as a hero, the more those days turned into weeks, then months, and then, finally, years. Now, with the appearance of a boy in his late teens despite being well into adulthood, Tyler temporarily stepped back from the line of duty before he became a minor again.
Fielding a kid would be “bad optics”, so he transferred to Claremont for the foreseeable future, or until he figured out a way to make a better deal.

Appearance: When not transformed, Tyler generally wore darker clothing with a hoodie and a half-face mask to conceal his identity.
Powers: The Sin Eater, Enhanced Durability
Powers: The Sin Eater, Enhanced Durability
Tyler’s powers allow him to transform into a creature, unfortunately known as the “Sin Eater”. However, it comes with a cost; every time he transforms, he gets younger, and the longer he stays transformed, the more his age regresses. Outside of that, he’s physically pretty much a normal teenager, if one that's pretty skilled at keeping himself alive.
Likes:
- The smell of coffee (but he can’t stand the taste)
- Sugar (reluctantly)
- Gadgetry
- Cooking/Baking
Dislikes:
- People who talk down to him
- His “hero” name — “Sin Eater”? Really?
- The fact that he can’t reach the top shelf anymore
- Positive energy. It still sustains the Sin Eater, but it also tastes like battery acid
Quirks:
- Talks to himself in Latin and Greek when bored
- “Minor” OCD
- Reads dictionaries in various languages for fun (and to learn the language)
- Curses in culinary

Hope Jet is to your liking!
Age: 29
Face & Voice Claim: Josh O'Connor (voice from wake up dead man)
Appearance: He runs a half a pump of hair gel into his hair in the morning, just enough to give it volume. He's got a seemingly permanent five o' clock shadow outside of costume. He's lithe, with the physique of a tennis player. Wears a diamond earring, in his right lobe. Some prison fighting scars on his torso: two entry wounds from a plastic shiv, one in his upper right shoulder blade, the other in his stomach next to his belly button. Two tattoos, one of a tennis ball his left peck and a tattoo cover up- an asteroid. (behind it is his ex girlfriends name)
Civilian clothes are very much dressier than average. Always seen in some sort of floor length duster and matching leather shoes (one brown, one dusty black). Usually wears a sweater or sweater vest over a button up. His sleeves are sewn up into a rolled position (he did it himself). 5'11'' and kinda mad about it. Carries around an mp3 player, a notebook, and has a dumb phone. Wearing the ear piece for communication was nearly a deal breaker for the job, but they told him they'd buy him the best mp3 player so it could run the comms program instead of needing a smart phone.
Role at SDN: Hero - Phoenix Program
Background: He grew up into a family wealthy enough to get him into private school for high school, but was planning to go to a public college. He was of average intelligence, but was on the tennis and track teams. He'd tried to get into Boxing but his vigor was low. In 10th, he had a particularly competitive indoor tennis match, with his rival in the county. After trading a few barbs back and forth with a rival, they made a joke about how he had gotten lessons because of daddy's money since the last time he'd seen him (the kid was also wealthy). Jet was angry and hit the ball harder than normal, the yell he made was later used as proof of intent. For a brief moment, he wished the ball would hit him directly in the face. It did. Blood came spurting out of his nose, and he ended up with a skull fracture. He was booked and sent to prison for modifying a tennis ball in a match with intent to maim. There was no proof it had been him, but the tennis ball had gained mass inexplicably, nearly killing his opponent. He spent the next 5 years in prison, where his father completely disowned him since the 'devil had gotten him'.
While his relationship with his dad was more quiet in his teen years, his father said he'd "learned some respect", before that his father used to come home from his banking job and beat Jet frequently. It was so bad, the school started asking his mother questions. His mom homeschooled him for the rest of 5th grade, and put him into a private academy for middle school. He still calls his mother once a month when his father is away on business.
Since he got out, he spent some time running about with a few villains, generally stuff on contract for bigger bads. One of the people in this group was his ex girlfriend, when they broke up it broke up their group. This led him to be unable to find work, and he traded a petty charge to join SDN. He doesn't think they know about the rest (they don't.. mostly..?)

- Cannot eat corn, but loves it.
- Mends his own uniform using skills he picked up from prison.

Appearance: Costume is primarily black, with a fabric that seems to shimmer like stars. It's got golden ornaments on the sides of his arms and legs, with a few smaller ones vertically on his body. They all point up to a convergence on his chest, which is supposed to look like the back flare of an asteroid. His headgear is meant to represent the actual asteroid, and is a black fabric with gold specs, and gray craters on it. The eye covering is black with golden edges. Bottoms of his feet are red, because one of the people in his old group needed to be able to see him when he launched up at the ceiling.
Powers: Gravity manipulation. Can't fly, but can fall with style. Can slow falling, and launch weight up to 500 pounds a max of 50 ft into the air speed directly correlating to weight. This amount would overexert himself and would cause him to wind up gravely ill. Fights with liquid absorbing orbs (think Orbeez but they're biodegradable), that he adds mass to, and throws. He stores them in a series of compartments in his clothes on his arms. When he adds weight, they grow. He always keeps a tennis ball on him as last resort.
Crimes (If Villain):
- Petty theft
- Intent to Maim or Injure
- Art theft
- Robbery with a weapon(?)
- Blackmail
- Piracy
- Counterfeiting Money

@FourtyTwo
hello there, been looking at this for abit. And drew up a CS. Hope this is okay.
Age: 36
Appearance: 6’6” (198 cm) Big enough to block a doorway. Tall enough to be seen over chaos. 285 lbs (129 kg) Dense. Not bulk for show—this is working mass. Hits land heavy, hard and with weight. Elite-power athlete build, barrel chested, thick neck and broad shouldered, big thick tree trunk like legs built for power off the push, and stability when he plants himself. And a Core with rippling six pack abs, the man looks like a tank, but moves like a freight train that learned footwork.
Role at SDN: Hero Representative (Canadian Transfer) and SDN Public Relations Representative
Background:
Tyler Ermineskin grew up just west of Edmonton, in the bosom of the plains and rocks of the Enoch Cree Nation, right on the western limits of the city. For being one of the richest Reserves in the province (Well done River Cree Well done), it’s also a community of good people, raised right and raised fair. It’s also close to the heart of the rivalry between two great hockey teams, the infamous Battle of Alberta. In the North Corner the Edmonton Oilers, in the South Corner the Calgary Flames. And Hockey has been part of Tyler’s upbringing from the start. He at one pointed wanted to go pro. He trained in the summer in between working on the farm. And skated hard during the cold winters of Northern Alberta. Hockey is in his heart, part of his soul. Just as the Pow Wow and the Sweat Lodge are part of the Cree identity, Hockey is part of that ceremony for Tyler, cold, frozen and power.
Tyler was big early. It was pudge early. But as time went on, as he grew, it went from plump to solid muscle though when he started to put in the work. His skating built his legs and core, weight lifting and other various exercises made him strong and fit as he grew up. As a kid he could outrun and out hit any kid his own age and older on the ice. If he were born earlier and was older when he began to play, in a earlier time, he’d have been picked up as an Enforcer, a Goon. But that’s not what he wanted. He wanted to play. He wanted to play well and he wanted to make people smile and enjoy it while doing it. So he learned how to fight too. When the whistle blew, the puck hit the ice he’d play right, he’d play good, and when the gloves came off he’d hit good and hard. Defense! Defense!
His playing took a second seat though in his early teens, his family moved to Cali, chasing work, chasing change. Sadly there no frozen ponds, no backyard shinny, no frozen boots and clouds of cold breath.
Just hot asphalt and desert and mountains and the ocean side.
So Tyler adapted.
He got a good education.
Business. Public Relations. Human Relations.
He became a People Person.
But he never gave up on his dream. But now he played on the rink of the Corporation. By the time he was in his 20s, he was a boardroom enforcer, he played for the people, made room for making things enjoyable for people he worked with, made things fun for people he worked for.
And in a land of heat and black concrete, he rediscovered his sport again. He found hockey enthusiasts. He began to skate again. Started working for SDN, brought his love for the sport and his powerhouse approach to Public Relations to the company.
Time passed and he worked hard and well. Became one of SDNs go to people to help their image. Socials, Public Events, Meet and Greets. He helped and facilitated. And in it all also squeezed his love of the game of Hockey in.
One time, heading back home, with a cadre of Heroes, they held a shinny charity game back in Enoch. To show the Rez Kids that even in times of poor and loss, people can rise up.
This is about when it all came and flipped.
A chance situation, one in a quadrillion. As they played some strange cryo tech being used in the arena to keep the ice perfect went on the fritz. And an until now unknown ancient Native American energy source buried under the reserve linked to some ceremony ages ago, mixed, broke then unleashed. The building cracked, the ice shattered. People scattered. Girds shattered in the cold. In hockey pads Tyler hammered up and pulled people from the wreckage. The ancient spirits of this old ceremony rose up, tired and a little pissed at being sealed. Sought out something.
And rather then their captor, found someone trying to safe people. Whatever intelligence was there, flipped. And merged with the powerhouse holding up an subzero freezing girder.
When the heroes he came with and local SDN rescuers came to help, they found him standing in a dome of deep blue almost glacial ice.
No one there knew what to make of it. He’d help up cold steel, helped trapped victims, and stood against the cold face to face. And the cold rather then killing him, worked to empower him.
In the face of potential pain, he’d shown, Courage, Power, and Caring.
The people he saved didn’t see just a simple rescue.
They saw a Hat Trick.
His group of heroes and SDN fellow employees went back to Cali, with a story. He stayed behind to learn how to use his new powers. It took almost a year, before he returned to California, with a registration to use his powers, and the Hero name of “Hat Trick”.
The name stuck, his love of the game grew. But he still played in the arena of the board room and the social stadium.
Appearance: Jet black hair, long, worn back or braided; often tied with traditional feather adornment when unarmored. Ice-green with steel flecks eyes Cold stare, but alive—never dead, never empty. Medium brown, weathered skin tone, an outdoorsy sort, fits he likes his shinny, and no one from Enoch will miss out on a chance to strip off their shirt in summer and play some field hockey. Prominent facial scarring across cheek and brow, Old knuckle damage, Shoulder and forearm scar tissue Every one earned. None regretted.
In his armor he appears Broad-shouldered, low center of gravity, Heavy reinforced boots with ice-channeling tech, Blue and orange armor reads “hero” at a distance and “problem” up close, Ice manifests first at his feet, then creeps outward—visual warning system, and when it surrounds his feet, fists and legs like a second layer of armor, then you’re really boned.
Out of armor he prefers, “Power Suits” and outfits that say, “Look-At-Me”. His suits are often strong blazers or suit jackets with crisp dress shirts and good fashionable dress pants, with good strong leather boots and shoes, that could be easily at home in a broad room or kicking in a door in a pinch. Casually he likes his short sleeved shirts, in neutral and dark colors, jogging pants and jeans, with good serviceable sneakers and boots.
Powers:
Cryokinetic Mastery Hat Trick commands ice like a veteran commands a line change—precise, brutal, and perfectly timed.
Instantly freezes terrain, air, and structures
Can weaponize ice into blades, shields, spikes, and crushing impacts
Generates sub-zero shockwaves with every step on the battlefield
Builds up to a devastating Over-Armor state, a kind of “Limit Break” where his strength and vigor are in a state of overdrive
Icebound Physiology His body operates at extreme cold without slowing.
Near-invulnerable skin when fully “iced up”
Enhanced strength, stamina, and pain resistance
Can absorb cold-based attacks to grow stronger
Combat Savant (Hockey Style) Everything he does follows rink logic.
Devastating body checks and physical close in attacks, Tie’em up and wail on them
Momentum-based strikes
Crowd-control tactics that turn chaos into spectacle
Likes:
- Almost any kind of sports, but is a hockey fanatic, when it’s hockey season he’ll show up at the office with whichever Albertan team sweater jersey that is in the lead standing, has curated Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers jersey
-Incredibly proud of his heritage, and by extension is very friendly with local reserves and nations in and around Claremont and California
-Loves his sweet treats, will go to great lengths to get his hands on a cheese cake ice cream treat from the place down the street from the SDN building
Dislikes:
- Rascism and Bigortry, team mates and villains alike know the best/worst way to get him going is to insult minority peoples or those who can’t stick up for themselves. More then one villain has met a Cross-Check Rush to the dome after calling the First Nations people some kind of slur
-Alcohol, this is personal, his grandfather was an alcoholic, alcoholism is a plague on his people.
-During a fight, he gets incredibly annoyed and angry when a foe escapes his control. And will go to great lengths to get them back under his control
Quirks:
-Has rigged up a high output speaker and mic system into his armor, so when he’s in a fight he’ll often narrate the altercation. He’ll broadcast hype to his allies and really piss the enemy off by narrating the punishment he’s dealing out to them
-Has a tendency to laugh off stress, he smiles and jokes and laughs to make it seem like he’s in control. But when he starts cackling, and laughing in the middle of a fight, there might be something wrong
-Villians and Criminals with heat and fire based abilities are his anathema clearly, but he hates people who will just set fires for no reason at all. And goes to great lengths to combat that, sort of an unofficial fire fighting hero
Stat Specialisations:
Combat: 2
Vigor: 4

Misc Items:
Burn it to the Ground - Nickelback Theme song often played as he approaches a combat situation over the Speaker system on his Armor. A Canadian staple band, hard hitting and morale boosting
A movement style based around skating and sliding. Think Frozone, but bigger, heavier and less Olympic endurance skating and more NHL juking and power strides. This isn’t elegant figure skating or the long strides of endurance skating. These moves are broad, balanced, powerful. Dynamic and explosive, favoring speed and agility. Making him fast on the turn and quick to stop. And with his size when going fast he hits harder than a truck. He leans forward producing a balanced and power stance, big powerful pumps of his legs sending him hurtling along, but at the same time he has the balance to do turns, spins and glides. He’s not afraid to show off that strength and agility.
Will engage the crowd watching a situation in call and response chants quite often. He's got quite a few. And will urge watchers and team alike to engage, and to Call-out Special Moves that he calls "Plays". Examples of this are:
THE ENTRANCE RITUAL (A CLAREMONT STANDARD)
Hat Trick (low, calm, mic-hot):“CLAREMONT—”
Crowd (instant, thunderous): “HIT!”
Hat Trick: “CLAREMONT—”
Crowd (louder, feet stomping): “HIT!”
And -
THE FINAL CHANT (THE LAUNCH more then likely into a devastating Play)
He drops into a skater’s crouch. Ice coils under his feet.
Hat Trick: “PUCK—”
Crowd: “DOWN!”
Hat Trick: “GAME—”
Crowd: “ON!”
CALLING OUT ON A PLAY (These can get people roaring)
Hat Trick: “Eyes on Me!”
Crowd: “All eyes on!”
Hat Trick: “Let’s take’em to the Cross Check Carnage! Three rounds!”
He forms ice around his bladed hockey stick, and hits the opponents three times, once from behind, again across the shins then a third with a mighty shoulder check. Each time the crowd roars:
Crowd: “One! Two! Three!”
hello there, been looking at this for abit. And drew up a CS. Hope this is okay.
"Puck’s Down…Let’s bleed!"
Age: 36
Appearance: 6’6” (198 cm) Big enough to block a doorway. Tall enough to be seen over chaos. 285 lbs (129 kg) Dense. Not bulk for show—this is working mass. Hits land heavy, hard and with weight. Elite-power athlete build, barrel chested, thick neck and broad shouldered, big thick tree trunk like legs built for power off the push, and stability when he plants himself. And a Core with rippling six pack abs, the man looks like a tank, but moves like a freight train that learned footwork.
Role at SDN: Hero Representative (Canadian Transfer) and SDN Public Relations Representative
Background:
Tyler Ermineskin grew up just west of Edmonton, in the bosom of the plains and rocks of the Enoch Cree Nation, right on the western limits of the city. For being one of the richest Reserves in the province (Well done River Cree Well done), it’s also a community of good people, raised right and raised fair. It’s also close to the heart of the rivalry between two great hockey teams, the infamous Battle of Alberta. In the North Corner the Edmonton Oilers, in the South Corner the Calgary Flames. And Hockey has been part of Tyler’s upbringing from the start. He at one pointed wanted to go pro. He trained in the summer in between working on the farm. And skated hard during the cold winters of Northern Alberta. Hockey is in his heart, part of his soul. Just as the Pow Wow and the Sweat Lodge are part of the Cree identity, Hockey is part of that ceremony for Tyler, cold, frozen and power.
Tyler was big early. It was pudge early. But as time went on, as he grew, it went from plump to solid muscle though when he started to put in the work. His skating built his legs and core, weight lifting and other various exercises made him strong and fit as he grew up. As a kid he could outrun and out hit any kid his own age and older on the ice. If he were born earlier and was older when he began to play, in a earlier time, he’d have been picked up as an Enforcer, a Goon. But that’s not what he wanted. He wanted to play. He wanted to play well and he wanted to make people smile and enjoy it while doing it. So he learned how to fight too. When the whistle blew, the puck hit the ice he’d play right, he’d play good, and when the gloves came off he’d hit good and hard. Defense! Defense!
His playing took a second seat though in his early teens, his family moved to Cali, chasing work, chasing change. Sadly there no frozen ponds, no backyard shinny, no frozen boots and clouds of cold breath.
Just hot asphalt and desert and mountains and the ocean side.
So Tyler adapted.
He got a good education.
Business. Public Relations. Human Relations.
He became a People Person.
But he never gave up on his dream. But now he played on the rink of the Corporation. By the time he was in his 20s, he was a boardroom enforcer, he played for the people, made room for making things enjoyable for people he worked with, made things fun for people he worked for.
And in a land of heat and black concrete, he rediscovered his sport again. He found hockey enthusiasts. He began to skate again. Started working for SDN, brought his love for the sport and his powerhouse approach to Public Relations to the company.
Time passed and he worked hard and well. Became one of SDNs go to people to help their image. Socials, Public Events, Meet and Greets. He helped and facilitated. And in it all also squeezed his love of the game of Hockey in.
One time, heading back home, with a cadre of Heroes, they held a shinny charity game back in Enoch. To show the Rez Kids that even in times of poor and loss, people can rise up.
This is about when it all came and flipped.
A chance situation, one in a quadrillion. As they played some strange cryo tech being used in the arena to keep the ice perfect went on the fritz. And an until now unknown ancient Native American energy source buried under the reserve linked to some ceremony ages ago, mixed, broke then unleashed. The building cracked, the ice shattered. People scattered. Girds shattered in the cold. In hockey pads Tyler hammered up and pulled people from the wreckage. The ancient spirits of this old ceremony rose up, tired and a little pissed at being sealed. Sought out something.
And rather then their captor, found someone trying to safe people. Whatever intelligence was there, flipped. And merged with the powerhouse holding up an subzero freezing girder.
When the heroes he came with and local SDN rescuers came to help, they found him standing in a dome of deep blue almost glacial ice.
No one there knew what to make of it. He’d help up cold steel, helped trapped victims, and stood against the cold face to face. And the cold rather then killing him, worked to empower him.
In the face of potential pain, he’d shown, Courage, Power, and Caring.
The people he saved didn’t see just a simple rescue.
They saw a Hat Trick.
His group of heroes and SDN fellow employees went back to Cali, with a story. He stayed behind to learn how to use his new powers. It took almost a year, before he returned to California, with a registration to use his powers, and the Hero name of “Hat Trick”.
The name stuck, his love of the game grew. But he still played in the arena of the board room and the social stadium.
Appearance: Jet black hair, long, worn back or braided; often tied with traditional feather adornment when unarmored. Ice-green with steel flecks eyes Cold stare, but alive—never dead, never empty. Medium brown, weathered skin tone, an outdoorsy sort, fits he likes his shinny, and no one from Enoch will miss out on a chance to strip off their shirt in summer and play some field hockey. Prominent facial scarring across cheek and brow, Old knuckle damage, Shoulder and forearm scar tissue Every one earned. None regretted.
In his armor he appears Broad-shouldered, low center of gravity, Heavy reinforced boots with ice-channeling tech, Blue and orange armor reads “hero” at a distance and “problem” up close, Ice manifests first at his feet, then creeps outward—visual warning system, and when it surrounds his feet, fists and legs like a second layer of armor, then you’re really boned.
Out of armor he prefers, “Power Suits” and outfits that say, “Look-At-Me”. His suits are often strong blazers or suit jackets with crisp dress shirts and good fashionable dress pants, with good strong leather boots and shoes, that could be easily at home in a broad room or kicking in a door in a pinch. Casually he likes his short sleeved shirts, in neutral and dark colors, jogging pants and jeans, with good serviceable sneakers and boots.
Powers:
Cryokinetic Mastery Hat Trick commands ice like a veteran commands a line change—precise, brutal, and perfectly timed.
Instantly freezes terrain, air, and structures
Can weaponize ice into blades, shields, spikes, and crushing impacts
Generates sub-zero shockwaves with every step on the battlefield
Builds up to a devastating Over-Armor state, a kind of “Limit Break” where his strength and vigor are in a state of overdrive
Icebound Physiology His body operates at extreme cold without slowing.
Near-invulnerable skin when fully “iced up”
Enhanced strength, stamina, and pain resistance
Can absorb cold-based attacks to grow stronger
Combat Savant (Hockey Style) Everything he does follows rink logic.
Devastating body checks and physical close in attacks, Tie’em up and wail on them
Momentum-based strikes
Crowd-control tactics that turn chaos into spectacle
Likes:
- Almost any kind of sports, but is a hockey fanatic, when it’s hockey season he’ll show up at the office with whichever Albertan team sweater jersey that is in the lead standing, has curated Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers jersey
-Incredibly proud of his heritage, and by extension is very friendly with local reserves and nations in and around Claremont and California
-Loves his sweet treats, will go to great lengths to get his hands on a cheese cake ice cream treat from the place down the street from the SDN building
Dislikes:
- Rascism and Bigortry, team mates and villains alike know the best/worst way to get him going is to insult minority peoples or those who can’t stick up for themselves. More then one villain has met a Cross-Check Rush to the dome after calling the First Nations people some kind of slur
-Alcohol, this is personal, his grandfather was an alcoholic, alcoholism is a plague on his people.
-During a fight, he gets incredibly annoyed and angry when a foe escapes his control. And will go to great lengths to get them back under his control
Quirks:
-Has rigged up a high output speaker and mic system into his armor, so when he’s in a fight he’ll often narrate the altercation. He’ll broadcast hype to his allies and really piss the enemy off by narrating the punishment he’s dealing out to them
-Has a tendency to laugh off stress, he smiles and jokes and laughs to make it seem like he’s in control. But when he starts cackling, and laughing in the middle of a fight, there might be something wrong
-Villians and Criminals with heat and fire based abilities are his anathema clearly, but he hates people who will just set fires for no reason at all. And goes to great lengths to combat that, sort of an unofficial fire fighting hero
