[OOC] Your Friendly Neighborhood Government Sanctioned Superheroes

[CaptainSully]

Just thought i'd post this. I'll look at finishing it all off tomorrow but if you could let me know about the powers then it'd be appreciated.

Leolin Cwm Annwn | Draig

Name

Leolin "Leo" Cwm Annwn

Alias

Draig | Means Dragon in Mabinogi

Age

32 Earth Years

Gender

Male

Precautions

Neck Implant - A small shaped explosive has been placed beneath the skin of Leolin's neck. While the explosion would not be anything spectacular, it would be enough to sever his head. There is only one activation point at the Tower and requires clearance from two senior members of New Horizon to activate.

Personality

He often keeps his distance from those around him, particularly those with a chip on their shoulder. He comes from a culture of modesty and respect which he has found lacking on Earth. Particularly when it comes to other super heroes, he views them with a level of distaste due to their self perceived superiority over humanity. He has found solace and friendship in the company of heroes who have shown selflessness and caring more about others than their own fame.

Powers/Abilities

The Aether

Leolin's power is granted by a mysterious realm known as the Aether. His soul and the Aether are intertwined meaning that no matter where he is in space or time, he can access the powers granted to him. However, he does need to meditate atleast once a day to ensure his powers remain topped up. After twenty four Earth Hours his powers start to fade:

♦ True Instinct | Leolin doesn't need to think about reacting during battle, his body reacts almost automatically to incoming threats. Even incoming attacks he may not be aware of can be avoided unless they are sufficiently fast.

♦ True Step | Leo is capable of super speed. This applies to speed in terms of running, fighting and reacting. While not having super strength in the same way as most heroes and villain's, the speed with which he can move his limbs and body means that he is a powerful fighter. In essence his lifting strength is equal to that of a strong non-super human but his punching and kicking power is considered high level super strength. In addition, his resistance to damage is amplified the faster he is moving.

♦ True Mind | The Aether provides a blanket of protection over Leolins body and mind against psychic attacks. He is entirely immune to attacks on his mind.

Mabinogi

Leolin is part of the Mabinogi, a race from a far off world that is bathed in ancient magic. Throughout their existence their very bodies have bonded with the ancient magic, pushing their physical bodies beyond what they normally could do:

♦ Minor Healing Factor | Leolin can heal himself by meditating without interruption. The severity of the wound means longer meditation. Any wounds inflicted by silver can only be healed by natural medicines or the power of others. This is useless against life threatening injuries.

♦ Mabinogi Toughness | While not on super human levels, the Mabinogi's natural toughness surpasses a normal humans.

Weaknesses

♦ Needs to Meditate | Leolin's species doesn't require sleep but he is required to meditate. If he is kept from meditating for an extended period of time, his powers will slowly drain to the point of almost non-existence. This is used by New Horizon until he is required on a mission.

♦ Restraints | Leo is capable of breaking chain-linked handcuffs, the freedom to move his arms allows him to generate the speed and force needed to break them. However, restraints which are absolute in their stopping of movement will keep Leolin bound.

♦ Silver | The specific properties of silver are known to cause an allergic reaction at the point of contact with Leolin's skin. While this most often provides him with mild discomfort, it does also stop his healing factor from working.

Appearance

History

Leolin comes from a world far from Earth, it's existence unknown until his arrival on the homeworld of humanity. The planet Dôn is home to the race of the Mabinogi and is a lushous, vibrant planet filled with old magic and power. A select few are born linked to the Aether, a realm between space and time that imbues those linked to it with great power. Leolin is one of these lucky few. Upon discovering his link to the Aether the Grand Council placed him in charge of the Hadrius Stone, an ancient object imbued with millennia old magic. It contains great power which can teleport a person to any point in space or time, assuming they know how to use it.

For several years after the appointment, Leo's life was uneventful but unfortunately it didn't stay that way. Leolin's home and the storage location of the Hadrius Stone came under attack by a great evil who wanted the Hadrius Stone for their own selfish desires. Another Mabinogi who was born linked to the Aether foresaw themselves with the stone, ruling Dôn and the entire galaxy with their own hands. During the attack Leolin was told to use the stone and travel as far away as he could manage. As the evil closed in to claim the stone Leo activated it and with a flash of blinding light he was gone.

Leo arrived on Earth in another blinding flash but unfortunately the overwhelming power within the stone knocked Leolin unconscious. That wasn't all that happened however, the power output of the stone alerted New Horizon and Leo was apprehended before he could wake up. He was filled with all manners of drugs to keep him unconscious while they installed their precautionary measure. Since that day he has worked for New Horizon reluctantly, longing to be free once more. That isn't to say he doesn't want to help those in need but rather that he wants to do it on his own terms.

It has been a long three years for him within The Tower. He has been interrogated many times about the Hadrius Stone, New Horizon repeatedly trying to harness the power within it. They refuse to believe that Leo is unable to do much else beyond teleport across space. Leo is biding his time and when the time is right he will join the other residents of The Tower in bringing it crashing down.

Witness

Name:
Sydney Claire Lorraine

Alias: Witness

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Precautions:


Personality: It is difficult to describe Sydney’s personality because her power when used in Fallback is alone in that dimensional aspect; detached from any ambient empathy.

Appearance: Magenta Pink hair, Green eyes, 5’8” and like most Meta her figure and muscle tone perfect no matter what or how much she eats.

Powers/Abilities:
Retrocognitive, Omnilingualism , Probility Manipulation
Enhanced Physical Condition, Sydney is in peak physical condition making her a match for normal humans of Olympic Caliber

Other:

History: Born in Yellowknife in The Northwest Territories of Canada Syd was always a curious child whose parents thought her inquisitive nature marked for the sciences and encouraged her to seek answers to her questions and cultivate a skill at research.

When she was only 11 Sydney happened to pick up a school friend’s coat by accident and was stunned by finding herself reliving an abusive beating her friend had undergone just that morning before school. She screamed for her friend’s father to stop beating her but found out she couldn’t be heard or seen and was just about to try anything she could to stop the man when she was shocked out of her fallback (retrocog) as she’s come to call them when her teacher shouted at her asking her name loudly.

Unable to explain to the school what she saw Sydney was sent to see the Board Psychologist and subjected to all sorts of screening and Diagnosed as a Schizophrenic and told that she was seeing things that weren’t there. Put on meds that made her sluggish Syd looked to be damaged and had to attend a special school with other children like herself only they weren’t which she discovered after only three months and wished she never had.

It was while attending the special school that Sydney’s power bored through the medicinal haze showing her the life her fellow students lead when not at the school and she was horrified to see the things they suffered at the hands of the people that said they cared for them but was afraid to tell anyone what she was really seeing for fear of becoming institutionalized.

Only twelve years old there was little she could do that wouldn’t affect her in a negative way if she was found out so she put her abilities to use secretly gathering information about the abuse and printing the crimes in detail and sending it in a note to the abusers which actually put a dent into their activities and just to make sure that id did stop she began sending the Children's services copies.

Her school blew up in scandal when the RCMP dug deeper encouraged by the data they held and discovered a pattern of abuse in the staff along with coverups. It was this scandal that caused her parents to move to California and it was there that Syd tired of how icky the meds made her feel and the classes designed more as daycare than school.

She gave her approach a great deal of thought and came up with a plan that was entertaining to her parents; she did an object read on their car keys debit and credit cards and gave them an on the spot detailed description of what they had done that day. Naturally they thought it some sort of trick and her a clever girl but they also now had a bit of doubt and tried to prove it wasn’t possible but they quickly came around happy that she wasn’t a Schizo and then they felt guilty when the realized that they had allowed doctors to dope her up.

It seemed as if everything was coming up roses as Syd discovered she held other talents such as the ability to understand whatever was said around her no matter what the language and grew close once more with her mom and dad.

It was the first time her cruel and capricious talent with probability revealed itself while visiting they were visiting Las Vegas. Her talent saved her by having her accused of theft a crime that never happened and tossed into a holding cell, a holding cell that protected her from a raid by a gang who boldly but foolishly tried to spring their boss only to be felled by the cops when they stormed the jail. Her parents who had been trying to talk to the police were among the 23 dead but not the 65 wounded so she was alone.

The events in her life exposed her potential as a Mutant and brought her to the attention of New Horizon which came and took her into custody saying they would now act as her guardian.

Taken to the Tower it was soon discovered that Sydney was one of the strangest types. They at first thought they would train her in her power’s use but found that they were an active effect that soon grew out of her control. Sydney soon was lost in the past and unable to interact with anyone in real time, her language ability jumbling up her speech pattern. Many thought her a loss till a year later she snapped out of it her power now almost completely under her control. (Sydney can sometimes fallback if she makes physical contact with objects and people but luckily it is usually over in 10 to 30 minutes)

Her present duties involve her being used as an investigator.

Looks okay. Accepted!

Victory (New Horizon)

Victory

Name: Alice Jefferson

Alias: Victory (of the New Horizon initiative)

Age: 46

Precautions: None, she is compliant and willing.

Appearance

Standing at about 5'4 with an athletic build, Alice is a dark skinned woman with black hair that is slightly beginning to gray. Her dark brown eyes are intelligent and friendly, with a smirk usually playing at her lips. Her curly hair is usually tied into a tight bun. Alice's right eyebrow is split down the middle, and her body has a few scars that are hidden underneath her clothes or armor.

Armor:

When Alice dons the armor of Victory, she becomes a beacon on the battlefield. The Victory suit is comprised of sleek silver and white plates with thin gold lining and a black jumpsuit underneath that Alice wears. The helm covers most of her face except her eyes. It is reminiscent of medieval designs, trying to be as smooth and minimalist as possible to deflect blows. It is cleanly designed and well made. The armor itself is made from a metallic alloy that is somewhat resistant to damage. Glancing strikes or low-caliber bullets are deflected (though still hurt), but conventional firearms and explosions will penetrate the armor. The Victory suit protects extremely well against flames, and comes with an in-built respirator and gas-mask mode for the helm. Lightweight and maneuverable, the Victory suit is immediately recognizable and is a reassuring sign to civilians and perhaps other heroes.

Healing and Hard Light

With a brief moment of concentration, Alice is able to call into existence objects made of a transparent glass-like material New Horizon has dubbed Hard Light. It's a strange sight to behold: frameless windows appear and hover in mid air, reflecting the light from the sun. It is extremely durable, but with enough force or time it will begin to crack and shatter. For example: someone beating their fists into it will do no damage at all, but a sledgehammer will certainly make a crack, and several good blows will create an opening. One hole in the object can compromise the integrity of the entire structure and it becomes much more difficult to maintain. Blunt objects and impacts can cause damage, but bullets can be deflected off and will have a hard time penetrating if they are off a low caliber. Again, enough bullets will crack and shatter the Hard Light, but it is a durable substance.

She has a secondary power that is extremely useful- the ability to pacify the effects of wounds. A strange distortion that resemble heat waves or the surface water envelops the wound, almost completely numbing the pain. She has to touch the wound for this to occur. She uses this in conjuction with her Hard Light ability to great healing effect.

Within 60 feet of her, Alice can summon several things.

Hard Light medical attention: With a great amount of concentration, Alice can carefully use her hardlight to heal wounds. She can stop blood spillage, extract bullets, and create durable 'bandages', bands or patches of Hard Light. They will fade in an hour or so but she has used this practiced skill on civilians to hold them over until they can escape, or on allies to keep them in the fight. One time, for example, a civilian had his leg completely blown off. Alice created a Hard Light leg for him, stopping the bleeding and allowing him to escape.

Protective Dome: Alice can summon 30 feet round, 10 feet tall dome to protect her and her allies. She can create openings or doorways inside the dome so people can pass in and out while the main structure is maintained. It takes about three seconds to summon and can be instantly dispelled.

Protective Wall: Alice can summon a 30 feet wide, 30 feet tall wall, though she often makes it smaller so it is qucker to summon. She can summon this to intercept hostile projectiles heading towards her or her allies.

Weapon of Glass: Alice can summon a hand held simple weapon to use in battle. Often she is scene with a mace or sword.

Shield of Glass: Alice can summon a personel shield for her to hold that protects her against projectiles.

Javelin of Glass: Alice can summon a throwing spear to hurl at her enemies. She can do other projectiles but the Javelin is the easiest and most effective.

The Triumph Suit: To add onto her personal durability, 'Victory' summons the 'Triumph' suit. A shimmering hard light suit of armor hovers an inch above her Victory suit. Her other powers are limited during this time- for example she cannot summon walls or orbs or weapons- the Triumph Suit's articulate nature requires her full efforts. She uses this often in times where she needs to get herself across a dangerous battlefield. As long as she has had her powers, the ability to summon more articulate objects has eluded her. Machinery of any kind is impossible.

Blinding Light: Alice can focus all of her Hard Light into one place. The overlapping hard light forms a small, floating orb, that is not only very dense and resistant to damage, but actually creates a signficant amount of light, unlike the small amount of light that is generally created. This can become damaging to people's eyes if she lets it go on for long enough, but usually she just makes it a flood light to illuminate dark areas. One of the only times she used this offensively was when she aided in the subduing of Ka'van, a shadow based initiate of NH.

Personality

Alice carries about her a calm and friendly demeanor. She is pleasant to be around and tries to lighten things up. She is trustful towards authority figures as she often tries to be one herself, when she mediating conflcits. She has many stories to tell to those who are willing to listen, and enjoys a good joke and often tries to make them herself. When she gets angry, she often refers to you as 'child' and an icy undertone enters her usual friendly banter. Alice is difficult to upset, however, so one would have to particularly troublesome or stupid to draw her ire. Alice often plays by the rules and encourages others to do the same. She believes in the cause of New Horizon and is more than happy to live in the tower.

When in a stressful situation however, calm is a difficult attribute to call her. Yelling at the top of her lungs and often hurling insults at enemies, and often at her allies if they are about to or have made a mistake. Firefights are not the time to be reserved and amiable.

History:

Alice Jefferson is an experienced veteran. Even as a young woman when most heroes were vigilantes, Alice often collaborated with the authorites. Hunting down and battling villians was the job for other 'heroes', so she usually tried to get on the scene as soon as possible to evacuate citizens using her Hard Light objects to protect them from harm. She was more of a volunteer or auxillery for the police and did not interfere with the dealing of justice at all- instead she focused on protecting bystanders. Back then she usually just wore white and grey clothing she could get her hands on- she didn't really have a hero name back then. Just kind of a vague color scheme.

Aside from her police work, Alice had a fairly normal, if somewhat disadvantaged life. Her parents instilled in her good moral values, though they were somewhat poor and she had five siblings. One of her brothers and one of her sisters went off to college, but the rest of them got low-skill jobs. Alice was blessed enough to have her powers to help people. She had a few boyfriends here and there, but she never really settled down or got a real high paying job. That was why she was thankful to be involved in the New Horizon initiative. She was a supporter from the start and was glad to have vigilantes that often put bystanders in danger reigned in. She was also glad to be payed, and have a nice home to operate out of. That was when she officially rebranded as Victory and became one of the NH's first members.

Maverick (Vigilante)

Maverick

Name: Ciara McGuire

Alias: Maverick (of the streets)

Age: 19

Precautions: She is currently free of New Horizon's influence.

Appearance

A pale complexioned woman with red hair and freckles, Ciara McGuire is 5'6 with a thin, but ropey-muscled build. She has narrowed features with a small nose, thin lips and thick eyebrows. She's got an angry, discontented look about her and in her bright green eyes, she always looks as if she wants to start something. Ciara speaks with a very slight irish accent.

Clothes: Normally, Ciara wears cropped tank tops, cut jeans or leggings, and sneakers. Her pale body is untattooed, though her navel is pierced with a simple steel half-ring. Her right nostril is pierced with a small steel ball, and both of her ears are pierced with small steel rings as well. When in casual wear you can usually see her belly button piercing because of her cropped clothes. Her 'costume' as Maverick is a bit more covering as she usually only goes out at night.

First of all, she wears leggings that allow for max leg manueverability which is very important. She wears a hoodie for the hood, which hides her long red hair that is tied into a bun. The hoodies she wear are usually cut at the shoulder for the best arm maneuverability. Her hands are equipped with a hand wrap made of gauze for wrist support. She wears a bandana around her neck that she pulls up to cover her mouth and nose.

In the darkness of night, her only discernable feature would be her body shape and her skin color, revealed by her naked arms. This isn't much to go on, obviously. Her face is entirely hidden save her green eyes, which are hard to see beneath her shadowy hood. Ciara doesn't always wait to be in her outfit, she has on a few occasions jumped into the fray in her street clothes- but this is rare and she tries to hide her powers as best she can.

Power of Kinetikinesis

Ciara doesn't know what the name of her power is, but for an astute observe it would be described as kinetikinesis. A mouthful to be sure, but essentially it is the ability to manipulate her own kinetic energy. Newton's Laws are meant to be broken by Ciara, who can change her kinetic energy and the kinetic energy of objects she touches.

It is much easier for her to manipulate her own physics than it is the physics of other objects. The greater the change, the more preparation she needs to have, if she can do it all. When manipulation her own kinetic energy, the parts of her body affected by the change will give off sparks or small flashes of light, like from static electricity. The more newtons changed, the more sparks become apparent, and there may even be an audible noise. The sensantion for Ciara is rapid vibration in the selected limb, and perhaps shocking pain from the static.

Her ability allows her to greatly enhance the force of her punches. She swings normally, but she can make it have the kinetic force of a truck. This requires a lot of focus and preparation however. An opponent would see her coming at them shaking her fist as sparks emanated around it, perhaps even making a crackling or zapping noise.

If she touches something, she can alter it's trajectory depending on how much kinetic force she has 'stored' in her hands or feet. She can deflect someone's fist, but instead of a normal deflect she can discharge the built up energy and direct them to go stumbling very far forward allowing her to counter attack easier. The opponent could counter this by trying not to touch the parts of her body that are building up with energy, but this may be hard to do.

Her most commonly used skill is using her power to make herself lighter, faster, and unpredictable. Scaling buildings becomes very easy to do as she uses her finger tips on small ledges or outcroppings to seemingly leap up walls. When she jumps, she can expulse kinetic energy to do- like in a video game- a double jump. If she has the kinetic energy stored, she can even do a triple jump. She can do this all in different directions. Because of her ability, she may not even have to 'jump' in the conventional sense. Instead she can simply will a kinetic force to burst her upwards. She can nimbly bounce across the ground, sliding, skidding, changing directions in such a manner that an unprepared opponent would most likely caught completely unaware.

Ciara is only getting more and more experienced with her power. The more she works at it, the more quickly she can store up kinetic energy and the more rapidly and dramatically she can expluse it. Her upward limits are a long, long way off, most likely years. Her powers still make her a formidable close-combat threat. Normal humans will find it almost impossible to beat her in a fist fight. She keeps a list in her bedroom of techniques she frequently uses.

Enhanced Mobility: She uses her power to decrease her impact on the ground and make surfaces 'bouncy', allowing her to scale great distances quickly.

Little Punch, Big Bruise: A brief charge up of her fists allows to hit like an olympic boxer's haymaker, while she merely throws a quick jab.

Trajectory Shift: Momentum means nothing as Ciara can stop and start up dead sprints, jumps, mid-air collision courses and dodges with ease.

Big Punch, Internal Bleeding: With a large charging up of her punch, Ciara can deal serious, serious damage. This can prove unwieldy and dangerous to herself, so she often doesn't use it.

Personality

Ciara McGuire is angry at the world. The Man is out to get her. The people on top always step all over people like her, people who are on the bottom. She is a rebellious teenager to the fullest extent of the word. She is strictly anti-authority. She is not very educated or even very intelligent, so she has a hard time articulating her philophical arguments and can probably be easily frustrated in a debate. But she believes in an anarchistic system, where the people look out for each other and themselves, without big, faceless corporations and governments lording over them and taking from them.

She has few friends, and to most strangers she acts with contempt and rudeness. Confused, she does the only thing she knows how to do: fight. When she was a small child she used her powers for 'evil', committing petty theft and running away faster than a little girl should be able to. As a young teenager she decided that if anything was going to get better she would have to start acting in other people's interest, too. She named herself Maverick, and began patrolling the streets looking for crime.

History:

Ciara McGuire is not a well off girl, and she never has been. Her mother died giving birth to her, and her father, Sean, quickly grew sick. In abject poverty she frequently skipped public school, despite her ailing father's objections. She worked odd jobs as a girl, or resorting to theft. Welfare checks and Ciara's 'earnings' were all they had, and her father's illness (discovered to be cancer) certainly dug into there budget despite their benefits. Ciara acted aloof and angry to most of her classmates whenever she did show up, often getting into fights. In the fourth grade she hit a boy who had stolen her sandwich on the shoulder, and he was knocked several feet away, clutching a dislocated shoulder. She never went to school again after that. What little she knew of the New Horizon meant she might have a super power. It meant she might be taken away. It meant government agents wanted to get her, and throw her in jail. These were the thoughts than ran through her childish mind.

She developed her power, finding out it was not super strength but rather a strange power Ciara doesn't know the name of. She commited petty theft, using her ability to aid in stealth and speed. She fell in with a gang, and began doing drugs. Her father's condition grew worse. She was to be taken into what a child care facility, for her father could not provide for her and she had no family. Once again, she thought, the big men in suits wanted to take her away. So she ran away. She misses her father dearly- Sean is the only person in this world that she loves.

On a cold december night, when she sixteen years old, a 'friend' of hers died from an overdose taking a drug that was much harder than the ones they usually took. This changed Ciara- thankfully for the better. She decided if things were going to get better for everyone she knew, the change would have to start somewhere. So Ciara decided it would start with her. She chose a cool sounding nick-name for herself, "Maverick" and patrolled the streets at night like she thought a real superhero would.

Most of the time, nothing happened and all she got was a bad night's rest. But when she was 17, she stopped a mugging by knife-point. She descended from a three storey rooftop, landing squarely on the criminal's head, knocking him out cold and using her ability to cushion her own fall. She looked awkwardly at the couple she saved and ran off into the night. Full of adrenaline and giddy with excitemeny, she decided this was what she was going to do with her life. Still cynical, still angry, but inside an optimist and a good person, 'Maverick' takes to the city and does what she can.

Name:
Eliott Reider / Seven
Quote:
"I have learned things in the dark that I could never have learned in the light, things that have saved my life over and over again, so that there is really only one logical conclusion. I need darkness as much as I need light." - Barbara Brown Taylor
Alias:
Blackout
Age:
21
Gender:
Female

◈ ◈ ◈ ◈ ◈

Abilities:
Shadow Rending - The manipulation of shadows, specifically to help mask oneself. Eliott can conceal her body in complete darkness, silence her footsteps, and make occasional bursts of speed in an anointed direction. Her primary power is paralyzing people by ripping out their shadow. Nobody knows quite how this works, but it can leave opponents vulnerable momentarily.
Weaknesses:
Physically Weak - Although Eliott is pretty well-trained, she isn't all that powerful. In terms of offence and defence she can't hold her own, unless she's running away or hiding. She desperately wants to learn some kind of self defence with her power, however isn't sure if it is even possible.
Heat Detection; Scent Detection - She's invisible to sight and sound, not smell and touch. She is especially wary of the police because of this.
Equipment:
Stun Batons - Eliott has two stun batons which she can use to quickly incapacitate enemies, made back when she first operated as a member of Ark. The batons have the option to turn the shock mechanism on or off.
Smoke Grenades - For when Eliott needs to make a quick escape or cause a distraction, these babies come in handy. She has a small stock of them at home, though they'll be running out soon.
Stun Gun - This semi-auto pistol-looking taser allows Eliott to electrocute and incapacitate those at a distance (50m). It is custom-made and fires what is essentially paintballs which have been electrically charged. The magazine carries eight balls and the gun is prone to jamming, so she tries not to use it often.

◈ ◈ ◈ ◈ ◈

Bio:
Until ten years ago, Eliott Reider didn't actually exist. There were no records, no parents, and nobody that went by that name.
However there was a girl who looked a lot like Eliott. Her name was Seven.

Like all people in this world, Seven was conceived and born the human way. Her mother adored her, her father loved her, yet neither love nor adoration can save you in a car crash. She was orphaned at two years old,
being one of the unlucky babies not chosen for adoption. She stayed an orphan for two more years, till she was adopted by an elderly scientist, a man who would later call himself "Father John". A man who would erase the name she once knew, and give her the name she now knew best: Seven.

There were twenty-seven more children in the building with white walls, white coats, white doors, each only slightly older or slightly younger than Seven. She connected with three others: Eleven, Four, and Eighteen.
Eleven and Four were boys, Eighteen being another girl. Despite how different each of them were, they shared a common denominator which made each of them identical in the eyes of Father John and his team:
They were Gaps.
Gaps being those that fit neither mutant superhuman nor regular human. They were rare children afflicted with a rare condition which resulted in a lack of genetic code for superpowers. In other words, for them there wasn't an "on" for mutant powers or an "off" for standard human written in their genetic code. There was a gap.

They were tested on because of this.
Gifted the powers of extraordinary humans through genetic manipulation, the children were subject to tests. Tests, false promises of painlessness, and heartbreak. Many former friends died when exposed to their inherited power. Technology had not advanced far enough to save the unlucky or unfit. However, those that survived were much stronger than their former selves. They could do things no normal human could. They became incredibly powerful.

For six years they withstood the tests. Numbers were counted down, till those that remained could be counted on your fingers. Seven, Eleven, Four, Eighteen, Thirteen, Twenty-Two, Twenty, Nine, Twelve.
Eventually, Seven broke out. Along with her friends, they ran and ran and never looked back, using their powers to escape. They hid in LA, survived in LA, became people again in LA. They went to school, got adopted by good folk, and lived their lives like normal people.
But they weren't normal. The guilt of leaving those behind, forgotten, ate away at them

Four years ago, Ark was created. Today it resurfaces to bring about what it couldn't in LA after its year-long run. To make sure the same mistakes are not repeated, Seven has started the operation alone, her only friends gone after losing Eighteen. This is to make sure nobody gets hurt. That the only one who could be held responsible being herself. To make sure nobody she cares about dies again.
Ark will succeed in its mission. It will scare and terrorise, but never kill. It will get what it wants before injustice can be dealt. It needs to succeed this time.

It has to.

---

---

Eliott herself is rather shy and withdrawn. She doesn't like speaking up or making her presence known, instead being a silent observer to the world. That is, unless a book has caught her interest. She reads books religiously, always trying to expand her knowledge or otherwise read something fun. She enjoys the activity very much and usually visits the university library between classes to read. She does have a bit of a nerd side too,
and prefers spending time home alone playing games than social interactions, though isn't completely against nor afraid of them.

When operating as Blackout, Eliott's personality does a complete 180. She goes from the shy academic bookworm to the insane acrobatic joker. Blackout is completely carefree when it comes to showing off, which she does quite a bit, trying to do good on her phantom vigilante image. In fact she cares rather deeply about her image and how she, as well as the rest of Ark, is seen by the public, in an effort to make sure her motives can be identified and not mislabeled as a villain. Blackout is cocky and thinks very highly of herself, however is also incredibly cautious.

@Delta44

Heeerrrroooo :3 !

[Metronome]

@Delta44 unfortunately I think having two shadow based heroes will be too much. Is there another power she could have?

[Delta44]

@ShwiggityShwah Heyooo! :D Eliott isn't quite as strong as Maryvale, I promise ;)

[Delta44]

@Metronome Good question! As I mentioned in that post I basically copy-pasted her here, so I'm not sure she'd be viable in the first place :D I'll see what I can come up with, otherwise I can make something new c:

@Delta44

You met my Doctor, Dawn is essentially my Warrior.

Yet to see- My Hunter, My Thief, and My Wizard (Whom I'm going to try to make for the Sticks and Stones)

[Delta44]

@ShwiggityShwah I look forward to meeting them all someday :D I've got some 100+ characters so you probably won't meet them all XD

At first I saw this check late last night and thought "Sure I'll put it on my list of things to write CSs for," but then I scrolled down and my gimmick was already taken. :/

Name
Jane Martin

Alias
Alkaline

Age
18

Gender
Female

Precautions
Displays no need for precautions.

Personality
Jane can be described as energetic, hyperactive, and extremely single-minded towards one thing - Justice! More specifically, protecting and saving people! Nothing gets her slime boiling more than the thought of going out and putting smiles on people's faces. Jane finds the thought of even trying to leave a person in need behind deplorable, and no matter how minor their need, she will aid them. Such dedication has made it very easy to integrate her into the hero program.

This dedication has also made her incredibly easy to manipulate - she will do nearly anything as long as someone says please and it doesn't hurt anyone. Dumping work on her is simple, and getting information is as easy as asking her.

This almost obsessive need to please others arose from her harsh upbringing, where she was abused heavily whenever she didn't pull her own weight - both physically and mentally. She even dropped out of high school in order to take a job and help her family pay the rent - which was also how she got transformed into what she is now. While she tries not to let anyone know, she holds her father responsible, and despises him for it.

While most are probably appreciative for their powers, Jane only enjoys that it allows her to help people far easier. In nearly every other way, it has restricted her and made her life more difficult - she is barely able to do things a normal person can do blindfolded in terms of dexterity, and she is not very strong. At the very least, it makes rescue missions easy!

Jane typically acts with a bombastic and loud-mouthed persona - she shouts about how "real men never give in to adversity!" and usually laughs when people point out she isn't a man. While she acts like this whenever around many people, she quickly becomes quiet and docile when alone. The hero attitude is merely an act that she uses in order to make people feel at ease - she adopted this from her favorite hero, Phoenix Dawn, doing her best to emulate his mannerisms.

For fun, Jane mostly tries to help out the New Horizon staff with things like cleaning, which she prides herself as being one of the best at. Other than that, she enjoys watching movies, playing tabletop and board games, and watching other people play video games (she can't use a controller).

She used to love cooking, but is no longer able to cook due to her lack of dexterity.

Powers/Abilities

Liquid Physiology

Due to a freak chemical accident, Jane's body is a liquid which is bright yellow in color, and possesses little, if any solids. Despite lacking any major organs, Jane is still capable of all major senses and can move without muscles - essentially, she is a blob with all normal human abilities. She can move and store objects in her body, but lacks any semblance of dexterity, making actions like typing or using a key impossible.

If she is cut in half, or otherwise split into multiple bodies of liquid, she is only in control of the larger half - the other pool retains any properties that the body had before splitting.

Property manipulation

Jane is capable of manipulating the properties of her body - from the viscosity to the pH. Actually, these and the shape her body takes are pretty much the only thing this power is capable of. Jane is capable of becoming an acid which can melt through a foot of stone with a minute or two of effort, but steel and most metals require far longer - if they are even able to be dissolved in the first place. She can change her viscosity anywhere from pitch to half of that of water. Finally, with effort, Jane can shift the shape of her body - the detail is very poor, however. At most, she could form a hand and wave, or flatten/raise the size of her body.

Changes of properties can affect either the whole body, or just a certain part.

Other than these three characteristics, Jane is unable to change anything about her body.

Strengths
Can melt/squeeze through most obstacles
Strong physical durability - can be slashed in half and simply reform
Manipulation of Viscosity allows a very strong restraint of enemies.
No "weak points" (throat, head, etc.)

Weaknesses
Extreme weakness to elemental damages (boiling/freezing point of water, electricity knocks her out very easily due to conductivity, soluble in water, etc.)
Personality makes dissolving an intelligent/ human enemy impossible, forced to restrain them instead.
Dies if controlled mass cannot fill a cup - powerful blunt attacks could send small chunks too far to reform.
Slower than most normal people, both physically and mentally.
Ledges are very difficult to circumvent. Anything taller than her is pretty much unassailable.

Appearance
A blob of liquid that can be roughly 8 feet in diameter at it's largest, and a cup of water in size at it's smallest, Jane is one of the most distinctive heroes in the entirety of New Horizon due to her completely inhuman appearance. Normally, she is neon yellow in color, and possesses a thick and gelatinous texture - similar to jello or slime. Upon consuming any object or substance, her body adopts the same coloration as the substance, which usually lasts for a few minutes.

With concentrated effort, she can make very simple shapes from parts of her body - these include things like a simple hand, Text, or shapes. This is fairly tiring to do, and is purely cosmetic, however.

History
Born to a rather poor family in New York City, Jane had always lived her life for the sake of other people. Her family consisted of her father and her younger sister - Jane's mother died from Lung Cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Ever since her mother's death when Jane was only 8 years old, she had taken care of the domestic chores around the house, including cleaning, cooking, and taking care of her younger sister. Her father, a demolitionist, regularly complained about how his children weren't pulling their weights.

On Fridays, Jane's father typically drank heavily due to the fresh paycheck. Most of the time, he would simply pass out, but on more than one occasion he had physically assaulted Jane for "not doing any damn work." Jane, fearful that her father would one day raise a hand at her younger sister, simply accepted the occasional beating as a part of life. Jane's life passed by like this for a few years - helping her younger sister with school work, taking care of the house, and doing her best to hide her home life from friends at school.

At the age of 14, Jane had finally decided to do more. She knew that she would never enter college - she was a C student, and there was no way her father would pay for tuition. Instead, she decided to get some experience - she began to volunteer at several charity groups, appreciating the fact that she could change someone's life for the better. She always looked up to heroes that helped others, the saviors of the world like Phoenix Dawn or Victory. She wanted to be like them, even if she was only some kid from the Bronx without any powers. This became a dominating part of her life, and her main use of free time. At the very least, it would help land her a job in the future.

Jane dropped out of high school at 17. Or, more specifically, her father dropped her out. He had recently gotten laid off, and with a new job and severely reduced salary, the Martin family needed another income in order to make the rent. The charity worker that she worked with the most, Jackie, managed to land her an under-the-table job at a chemical processing plant. The pay was decent considering she didn't even need a high school education, and the people were nice. For the 6 months, she worked hard to make ends meet while keeping up with the housework at the same time.

She hadn't slept the last 2 days when the accident happened. She was working overtime, and only her and several other workers were still present. It only took an instant, a slight drowsiness as she was checking the large pool of waste below her. Next thing she knew, the air was rushing past her face, and she hit a thick and gelatinous slime. She passed out as her flesh melted from her bones.

Next thing she knew, she was in her new form, inside a drainage pipe that led to the Hudson river. She spent the next 3 months in hiding - eating (dissolving?) random animals and garbage she found. It wasn't until she saved a hiker that broke his leg in the forest that Jane was hiding in that she realized her purpose. She had already learned a decent amount about the abilities of her body - and knew that she could use them for justice. Jane turned herself into New Horizon voluntarily, knowing the risks that vigilantism presented. She had only been in the organization for a month, but if she was lucky, she might be able to actually make a difference.

Other
Jane is unable to dissolve humans and sapient life in her acid - animals and dangerous creatures without intelligence can be dissolved, but due to emotional and psychological restrictions, Jane refuses to ever dissolve a person.

Jane adopts the color of whatever she has most recently eaten, usually for 10-30 minutes. When she has not eaten anything in that time frame, she adopts a bright yellow color.
