Age: 97, Although physically she is in her late 20s.
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Halina regularly wears her hair back in a bun as it is rather long and would only serve as a nuisance if she did not tie it back when out in the 'wastes'. She displays some light muscle, but this is highly deceptive as to her true strength. She has some light freckles that go from her cheek, over her nose and to her other cheek. They are hardly noticeable though and you would only really be able to see them if you were talking to her face to face. She still as the identification number that she was given within the concentration camp on her right forearm. She stands at 5 foot 9.

Settlement:
Profession: Villain/Hero/Soldier/Housewife
Skills:
-Military training with firearms
-Able to cook
-Has picked locks in her past but is rather rusty and hasn't done it in years
Powers:
Halina essentially has increased aspects of the human body. She can lift more than a trained athlete, run faster than an olympiad and take more hits than Mike Tyson on steroids. Her other power is gravity manipulation within objects including herself within 6 feet of her. She uses this in order to fly short distances along with stop any ranged threats that she is expecting. Along with this, she of course has a much slower aging rate than the average human.
Weaknesses:
While Halina does have enhanced durability, this is basically restricted to cuts and blunt objects. If a bullet directly hits her brain or her heart she will die like any other human. Along with this, anything she sends upwards using her gravity requires her concentration to keep it up. Therefore if she breaks concentration on it it will fall.

-Model 1887 Shotgun
-M1911 Pistol
-KA-BAR Knife
Armor/Clothing:
Halina's clothing changes depending on the weather. The staples of her clothing are the shirts she wears, her boots and her trousers. Depending on the weather, Halina can be seen wearing one or two shirts. The first shirt is decorated with a flowery pattern which, in the winter, is overlayed by her second blue shirt which is slightly shorter. Her trousers were originally black but have since been slightly lightened by washing and through dirt. Her boots are an ordinary brown and lace up the front. Her jacket is a light green with a fur collar. She also wears fingerless gloves depending on the weather. She constantly wears a small gold locket around her neck with a picture of herself, her former husband and her former child in it.
Equipment and Supplies:
Halina carries a large bottle of water on her at all times and always has at least one can of food in her satchel when travelling.
Personality:
Halina is a feisty woman with a knack for putting her money where her mouth is when it comes to fights. In her past, she was known to be cocky and arrogant, but during her lifetime events have changed and shaped her into someone who prefers to see others being praised for succeeding rather than being praised herself. She is rather shy in front of large crowds and can be hard to get to know if you don't approach her in the right way. When she meets a rather young person, her motherly instincts seem to kick in and she tries to care for them and protect them in any way she can. Even if the person is more than capable of protecting themselves. She is rather cautious and serious around people she doesn't know since the apocalypse. She identifies most people as a threat and as a result can be quite hard to get to know.
History:
Halina was born in Poznań, Poland in 1921. Her father was a clockmaker while her mother worked in a bakery. Her childhood was average, her family earned enough to send her to school with financial help from her grandparents. In fact, the only abnormal thing about her childhood was that she was an only child, something practically unheard of in those days. Nevertheless, Halina performed adequately in school and began studying under her mother to become a baker like her after leaving school. Unfortunately, the advent of war stalled her tutoring as World War 2 started and with it, The Wehrmachts holocaust of Poland. Halana and her family were 'lucky' enough to be selected for Germinisation. Essentially, Halina and her family were forced to learn German and Germanys history and its culture.
This went on for a year until Halina had enough. She had dreams of murdering Nazi's and escaping Poland with her family. She thought she was mentally ill, she had never thought of killing anyone before the war, but it seems the mental strain was getting too much for her. Eventually she snapped one day. She bludgeoned a Wehrmacht soldier to death using an old rusty pipe. She thought she had gotten away with it as the event took place on a rather isolated and quiet path, but she was caught dumping the body into a ditch. Yet again 'luck' smiled upon her as she was not killed on the spot and was instead sent to a concentration camp. Luck can be a sick bastard sometimes. She was separated from her family and forced to break rocks in the hot sun with little food to keep her going.
The worst was yet to come though. It seemed that both a highly regarded Nazi scientist and the kommandant of the camp she was imprisoned in both took a liking to her. Her darkest fears came to life as she was escorted from the crowded sleeping quarters and into the Nazi barracks to meet with the kommandant. To put it blunt, the kommandant attempted to rape Halina. Halina was quick to her wit though, before the kommandant could get the last button of her shirt down her arm lashed out and gripped the kommandant's knife on his belt. She stabbed him in the throat and left him drowning to death in his own blood. She would have been killed on the spot if it were not for the scientist. He demanded she be kept alive and that he had wanted her for his sick experiments. She was taken to a different facility in Berlin to be experimented on. Before her experimentation started, however, she was treated practically like a queen. She was kept in a hotel room, guarded by Wehrmacht soldiers at all times and was fed until she was fit and healthy once more. When she was, however, she was taken to the facility to be experimented on. It started with small physical tests, but quickly grew into experimentation of a different sort.
She was forced to watch other experiments of what would happen to her. People being cut into, having bones and vital organs replaced only to die soon after. Her experiment was slightly different though. The Nazi's had found a small amount of a special type of liquid while mining in Poland. Halina was cut into and her blood was replaced with the liquid which soon began replicating itself and flowing throughout her body. She began to feel stronger than ever with the liquid flowing through her, but she didn't let on to her supervisors, she had to plan an escape and one that was surefire to succeed. While she waited, numerous other experiments were being done to her. Many of which she still bears the scars of on her back, legs and arms to this day. While being experimented on, she began taking mental notes of guard routes and delivery schedules. She made her plan and executed it to perfection. She hid underneath one of the delivery vans when no one was looking and gripped tightly to the bottom of the van. She slid past the guards watch and made it out of Berlin and into France.
As it turns out, while Halina was disconnected from society in the camps, France was occupied by Germany. She was quickly spotted hiding in an alley by a member of the French resistance and was brought to one of their secret meetings where she was given a new set of clothes and was taught basic French by a soldier of Polish descent who had been wounded while escaping Germany and was residing with the resistance until he could travel back to America. Halina slowly fell in love with the soldier, named Frank as they bonded through his teachings of French to her. It also helped that their birthday was only a day off from each others and that they were born in the same year, 1921. They both discovered their powers during their first kiss. The table next to them began to slowly float upwards and the book that, Frank was holding began to slowly burn away at his fingertips. Before they had even noticed what was going on, the owner of the cafe they were being harboured in had walked in to see this and had been shouting obscenities in French about how he couldn't believe his eyes.
They began to experiment with their powers and hone them. They were like nothing they had ever seen. As it turns out, the liquid Halina's blood had been replaced with had given her some control over gravity along with an enhanced body, while Frank seemed to have just been born with his powers. It also turned out that Frank had much greater strength than even Halina, being able to pick up practically anything he set his eyes on. They made a decision to use their powers to help the resistance when disaster struck. The Wehrmacht had found the cafe that Halina and Frank had been harboured in, and in turn found the resistance headquarters within the area. The soldiers marched in and were prepared to line up and shoot both Frank and Halina when Halina done something no soldier could have expected. She sent an uppercut to the jaw of a soldier so strong that it sent him in an arc through the air and broke his jaw. What ensued was a battle between what little weaponry the resistance had and an oncoming slew of Nazi soldiers. Halina and Frank used their powers as best they could, but they were soon overwhelmed.
Halina would have been happy to die with Frank, but he wouldn't allow it. He picked her up against her will and tossed her as far he could, knowing full well that she could withstand the damage. She landed on the edge of France, to the bewilderment of the British soldiers that had set up camp there. She was crying with anger, shouting about how much of a bastard Frank was and how he had gotten himself killed. She told the British soldiers of the situation in French and they assured her that she was now safe and that she would be sent to Britain to be safe. She was sent on the next boat back. She went into a state of depression after that, drinking constantly to the disappointment of her host family and hardly ever leaving her room unless it was to talk about how great, Frank was. She began to grow more and more hateful of her life and everyone around her. Constantly asking herself why god would allow all of these horrible events to happen to her. She stayed in this depression until the end of the war, where she finally came out and started acting like her old self. She burst down in tears while talking to the mother of the host family, apologizing for her rude behaviour and thanking them for teaching her English and giving her a place to stay. The mother was only more than happy to have helped and even helped Halina get a place of her own in Edinburgh, a town over from where she was currently staying. She also reconnected with her parents, currently living in America after being relocated during the war.
Halina's thoughts drifted back to her ones about how god had smited her while working at a local factory. She grew more and more evil as time went on, eventually moving to America and meeting up with her parents while giving herself the identity of 'The Gravity Gal' a supervillain with control over gravity. Her crimes were mainly limited to thievery and robbery though, she couldn't ever bring herself to kill another human. Admittedly, the name 'Gravity Gal' isn't particularly evil or threatening, but Halina puts this down to too many cowboy novels in her youth. She encountered her first nemesis, 'Heatwave' while doing a bank robbery. He thwarted her and carried her off to prison by the ankle. She promptly escaped with the help of a toilet that she repeatedly threw at the wall upon arrival at the prison, but she couldn't stop thinking of Heatwave. Every time she committed a crime he'd appear to grab her by the ankle and take her off to prison. She began to have an unhealthy obsession with the man, soon obsessing over him to the point where she'd commit crimes just to be caught by him.
Her obsession paid off one night when she managed to wiggle herself from his grasp and seduce him down onto a rooftop. She removed his mask to reveal none other than a slightly aged, Frank with a newly added scar tracing down from his forehead to just beneath his eye. She broke down crying after that, confusing Frank to no end. She removed her mask and he was equally emotional. He held her tightly and the two began telling each other about what happened since the cafe. It turns out, British troops arrived on scene just as Frank had thrown Halina and had wiped out the Nazis before they could put the final bullet in him. They did, of course, give him the scar across his eye though after a soldier Frank had thought he'd killed rose up and sliced him across the eye. He also discovered he had the power of flight after meeting with other heroes who had emerged during and after World War 2 who had taught him to hone his powers. Halina was far too happy to see him to continue her act. She kept apologizing for the criminal acts she had done and just wanted to love and be loved by Frank again. Frank, knowing the repercussions of a hero being caught with a villain, set a place and time to meet Halina again, on the same rooftop. They met every Wednesday after that, on the same rooftop in their costumes. To tell the truth, neither of them knew why they didn't just meet in the town wearing regular clothes, both of them were too scared to suggest it.
The press quickly caught wind though after one caught sight of Frank's bright red cape floating off the side of the rooftop. He made his way up the building and quickly snapped a picture of the two embracing in a kiss before running off, unnoticed by the two lovers. Their picture was in the papers within the week. The controversy was too much and public opinion of 'Heatwave' began to plummet. Frank knew what they had to do. They had to organize a press conference to clear up the facts about 'Gravity Gal' and her sudden stop in crime. It was the first time Halina had to talk in front of a crowd so big. She stuttered and hesitated quite often throughout her 'speech' but it seemed to have helped with her story. The press wrote her up as a completely reformed person who seemed to harmless to hurt anyone, with one paper citing the fact that she had killed not a single person during her crime wave. She was sentenced to community service and helped build and repair housing using her powers. She was also stationed at various nurseries and schools to help children. By this point, she was already helping Heatwave clean up the streets and was appearing to these nurseries and schools in her new, refined hero costume. Designed by 'Icicle' a female hero that Helina had met through Frank and had quickly hit off with. Icicle and Helina had so much in common it was unbelievable. They became best friends almost immediately. Her 'help' at the nurseries and schools mostly consisted of a slapdash speech about how they shouldn't do crime after which she talked to each child individually as they got on with their work. It was on these days that she realised how much she loved children. They delighted in seeing her enter the room and were sad to see her go. She truly felt good in her life for once.
It was during the mid-50s that Frank finally agreed with Helina that they were financially stable enough to consider having children. They tried day and night to conceive, but nothing seemed to be working. Distraught and confused, they visited their doctor. The doctor, another hero by the name of 'The Purple Phantasm' had done extensive research on the biology and physiology of various heroes, Heatwave being one of them. He ran a few more tests and revealed some shocking news. Frank hadn't actually received his powers from birth and had, in fact, received them from a high exposure to a radiation mine that was near his house as a child. With his powers came the very sad news that most of his sperm died upon their creation. There was around a 2 in 800 chance that Helina and Frank would ever have a child. What followed was a short depression followed by determination. Helina was more in love with Frank than ever before and was determined to have a child. Of course, being a man like Frank was, he didn't object in the least. It took around a year of hard..ehm...work before Helina was pregnant. They were both elated and what followed was a slew of journalists and whatnot eager to get a story from them. After all, a villain turned hero getting pregnant after marrying a former war vet turned hero was a story for the ages. Soon 'Gravity Gal' and 'Heatwave' became household names throughout the country. Papers waited in anticipation of the child and whether or not it would be a boy or a girl and just what its powers would be, if any. Halina became essentially a housewife during her pregnancy, and she enjoyed it. After all, fighting with a baby inside you is about as stupid as fighting with jam for hands. Her mother would often come and teach her 'how to be a housewife' to put it bluntly. Everything about it, Halina loved, cooking, cleaning, knitting, you name it and she liked doing it. Her parents began visiting more often as the pregnancy went into its later stages and Halina was practically forced to relax.
The 25th of March 1956 was the saddest day of Halina's life. It was the day Halina gave birth. The baby, however, was small and had major breathing problems. Frank of course called, Phantasm who done more tests of Frank and a few on the baby, named Sophia. He told the couple with great sadness that no baby they ever conceived could live more than a day, the combination of radiation and Halina's strange blood was too great, it would always lead to complications that would end in the babies death. Halina and Frank spent the day with Sophia, getting a picture taken of the three that resides in a locket on her neck. Both Helina and Frank fell into depression after the event. The press would hardly ever leave them alone and Frank had given Phantasm, who Frank had bonded with enough to call his best friend through the years, the permission to tell the presses about what had happened. Halina grieved and the nation grieved with her.
The couple came out of their depression around 1964, when the USS Maddox was fired upon by Vietnamese forces and the Vietnam war escalated. Both Halina and Frank enlisted for the army, with the government making an exception for Halina to join the front lines in recognition of her service to the country and her abilities. Halina became an icon in America for women, pictures of her taken by war photographers showed her engaging in combat alongside men which in turn, inspired various women throughout the country. Upon returning from Vietnam, Halina actually got into modelling clothes before returning to heroing, gaining yet more status in the eye of the press.
There was one factor that both Frank and Phantasm, known by his first name, Gomez to the couple had noticed about Helina that she had not noticed herself. She hadn't aged since Frank had met her for that first time during the war. While Frank was getting on in his life now, turning 47 and getting some grey in his hair, Halina was still as young and fit as ever. Gomez in his usual fashion, ran tests. He discovered a hidden genome within Halina that prevented her from aging. Like any other girl, she was elated at this thought, but she was only thinking about the short term affects of something like that. Both she and Frank went about heroing for a year or so before they both noticed a huge problem with Frank's health. He began coughing up blood and was seriously unable to do his nightly hero duties by 1971. Yet again, Gomez and his magical stethoscope done his favourite thing and ran tests on Frank. His suspicions were confirmed for the worst. Frank had cancer on just about every part of his body, it was only his enhanced strength and durability that had kept him alive that long. Gomez gave him the estimate that he'd die in two years. He died in one.
Helina cried nonstop for about 2 weeks. She moved back in with her parents for comfort but they could do little to soothe the pain she was feeling. She continued her depression into the early 80s. Her parents were far too old to fully care for themselves by that point and so, instead of returning to her hero duties, Helina began to become a full time carer for her parents. She prepared herselves for their deaths, it was easier that way. They died in the early 80s. Helina sold her old house, took everything worth note from her parents house and sold it as well. She moved into a highrise apartment room built for one and pondered upon what she should do with her life. She and Icicle, known by, Sarah to Helina decided on her future. She would go back to heroing under a different name. 'Gravity Gal' was too 50s, too retro, they came up with the name 'Gravitas', a bit more appropriate for the time frame. Sarah, who had practically turned into the sassiest old woman you would ever meet, designed Helina's new costume. A lot less skimpy and fun than her previous two and a lot more practical and sleek. In fact, it seemed that Sarah was sassy enough to warrant her own daytime chat show. Her reputation as a superhero preceded her and she often got old heroes and villains who had reformed their ways on to talk about the news and whatnot. Sarah and Helina had practically written a script of what they were going to say on the show in order for Helina to seem as cool and edgy as possible and they had both memorized it to a T. Helina appeared alongside Gomez, and his former nemesis, Rolling Ball, or Louise to the public nowadays. Sarah asked the first question to Helina, one that was sure to establish her as a cool hero that the youth of the time could relate to and think was one of the 'punks'. And what did Helina do? She stuttered. Her voice came out as some form of high pitch morse code. She had never appeared on TV before and it was obviously making her nervous. Her voice was much higher than usual and she sounded like a train going along tracks. Suffice to say she had screwed up in her quest to seem edgy. Louise surprisingly helped her though by changing the subject before she could embarrass herself more.
Helina was a hot topic in the presses and talkshows. She expected to be called a fool and to be largely made fun of. But it seemed that it was only the minority of media that actually mocked her. Most of the media took a better approach to her, referencing her speech back in the late 40s and talking about how "America's old heroes could still kick some ass!", ignorant to the fact that Helina was Polish. She came back with a boom, fighting throughout the 80s until 2015. When the end of the world began.
A new villain, unlike any the world had ever seen appeared and threatened a regime not seen since The Second World War upon Earth under the rule of himself and some alien overlords. He vastly underestimated their intellect. They executed him as soon as they returned and after encountering resistance from many superheroes from across the globe, decided that humanity was not worth the effort. They engineered a virus to kill off the vast majority of humans and even quite a few superhumans. Helina was not one of them. She began travelling all over America after the 'apocalypse' eventually settling down in Carolina.

She promptly escaped with the help of a toilet that she repeatedly threw at the wall upon arrival at the prison, but she couldn't stop thinking of Heatwave. Every time she committed a crime he'd appear to grab her by the ankle and take her off to prison. She began to have an unhealthy obsession with the man, soon obsessing over him to the point where she'd commit crimes just to be caught by him.
Her obsession paid off one night when she managed to wiggle herself from his grasp and seduce him down onto a rooftop. She removed his mask to reveal none other than a slightly aged, Frank with a newly added scar tracing down from his forehead to just beneath his eye. She broke down crying after that, confusing Frank to no end. She removed her mask and he was equally emotional. He held her tightly and the two began telling each other about what happened since the cafe. It turns out, British troops arrived on scene just as Frank had thrown Halina and had wiped out the Nazis before they could put the final bullet in him. They did, of course, give him the scar across his eye though after a soldier Frank had thought he'd killed rose up and sliced him across the eye. He also discovered he had the power of flight after meeting with other heroes who had emerged during and after World War 2 who had taught him to hone his powers. Halina was far too happy to see him to continue her act. She kept apologizing for the criminal acts she had done and just wanted to love and be loved by Frank again. Frank, knowing the repercussions of a hero being caught with a villain, set a place and time to meet Halina again, on the same rooftop. They met every Wednesday after that, on the same rooftop in their costumes. To tell the truth, neither of them knew why they didn't just meet in the town wearing regular clothes, both of them were too scared to suggest it.
The press quickly caught wind though after one caught sight of Frank's bright red cape floating off the side of the rooftop. He made his way up the building and quickly snapped a picture of the two embracing in a kiss before running off, unnoticed by the two lovers. Their picture was in the papers within the week. The controversy was too much and public opinion of 'Heatwave' began to plummet. Frank knew what they had to do. They had to organize a press conference to clear up the facts about 'Gravity Gal' and her sudden stop in crime. It was the first time Halina had to talk in front of a crowd so big. She stuttered and hesitated quite often throughout her 'speech' but it seemed to have helped with her story. The press wrote her up as a completely reformed person who seemed to harmless to hurt anyone, with one paper citing the fact that she had killed not a single person during her crime wave. She was sentenced to community service and helped build and repair housing using her powers. She was also stationed at various nurseries and schools to help children. By this point, she was already helping Heatwave clean up the streets and was appearing to these nurseries and schools in her new, refined hero costume. Designed by 'Icicle' a female hero that Helina had met through Frank and had quickly hit off with. Icicle and Helina had so much in common it was unbelievable. They became best friends almost immediately. Her 'help' at the nurseries and schools mostly consisted of a slapdash speech about how they shouldn't do crime after which she talked to each child individually as they got on with their work. It was on these days that she realised how much she loved children. They delighted in seeing her enter the room and were sad to see her go. She truly felt good in her life for once.
It was during the mid-50s that Frank finally agreed with Helina that they were financially stable enough to consider having children. They tried day and night to conceive, but nothing seemed to be working. Distraught and confused, they visited their doctor. The doctor, another hero by the name of 'The Purple Phantasm' had done extensive research on the biology and physiology of various heroes, Heatwave being one of them. He ran a few more tests and revealed some shocking news. Frank hadn't actually received his powers from birth and had, in fact, received them from a high exposure to a radiation mine that was near his house as a child. With his powers came the very sad news that most of his sperm died upon their creation. There was around a 2 in 800 chance that Helina and Frank would ever have a child. What followed was a short depression followed by determination. Helina was more in love with Frank than ever before and was determined to have a child. Of course, being a man like Frank was, he didn't object in the least. It took around a year of hard..ehm...work before Helina was pregnant. They were both elated and what followed was a slew of journalists and whatnot eager to get a story from them. After all, a villain turned hero getting pregnant after marrying a former war vet turned hero was a story for the ages. Soon 'Gravity Gal' and 'Heatwave' became household names throughout the country. Papers waited in anticipation of the child and whether or not it would be a boy or a girl and just what its powers would be, if any. Halina became essentially a housewife during her pregnancy, and she enjoyed it. After all, fighting with a baby inside you is about as stupid as fighting with jam for hands. Her mother would often come and teach her 'how to be a housewife' to put it bluntly. Everything about it, Halina loved, cooking, cleaning, knitting, you name it and she liked doing it. Her parents began visiting more often as the pregnancy went into its later stages and Halina was practically forced to relax.
The 25th of March 1956 was the saddest day of Halina's life. It was the day Halina gave birth. The baby, however, was small and had major breathing problems. Frank of course called, Phantasm who done more tests of Frank and a few on the baby, named Sophia. He told the couple with great sadness that no baby they ever conceived could live more than a day, the combination of radiation and Halina's strange blood was too great, it would always lead to complications that would end in the babies death. Halina and Frank spent the day with Sophia, getting a picture taken of the three that resides in a locket on her neck. Both Helina and Frank fell into depression after the event. The press would hardly ever leave them alone and Frank had given Phantasm, who Frank had bonded with enough to call his best friend through the years, the permission to tell the presses about what had happened. Halina grieved and the nation grieved with her.
The couple came out of their depression around 1964, when the USS Maddox was fired upon by Vietnamese forces and the Vietnam war escalated. Both Halina and Frank enlisted for the army, with the government making an exception for Halina to join the front lines in recognition of her service to the country and her abilities. Halina became an icon in America for women, pictures of her taken by war photographers showed her engaging in combat alongside men which in turn, inspired various women throughout the country. Upon returning from Vietnam, Halina actually got into modelling clothes before returning to heroing, gaining yet more status in the eye of the press.
There was one factor that both Frank and Phantasm, known by his first name, Gomez to the couple had noticed about Helina that she had not noticed herself. She hadn't aged since Frank had met her for that first time during the war. While Frank was getting on in his life now, turning 47 and getting some grey in his hair, Halina was still as young and fit as ever. Gomez in his usual fashion, ran tests. He discovered a hidden genome within Halina that prevented her from aging. Like any other girl, she was elated at this thought, but she was only thinking about the short term affects of something like that. Both she and Frank went about heroing for a year or so before they both noticed a huge problem with Frank's health. He began coughing up blood and was seriously unable to do his nightly hero duties by 1971. Yet again, Gomez and his magical stethoscope done his favourite thing and ran tests on Frank. His suspicions were confirmed for the worst. Frank had cancer on just about every part of his body, it was only his enhanced strength and durability that had kept him alive that long. Gomez gave him the estimate that he'd die in two years. He died in one.
Helina cried nonstop for about 2 weeks. She moved back in with her parents for comfort but they could do little to soothe the pain she was feeling. She continued her depression into the early 80s. Her parents were far too old to fully care for themselves by that point and so, instead of returning to her hero duties, Helina began to become a full time carer for her parents. She prepared herselves for their deaths, it was easier that way. They died in the early 80s. Helina sold her old house, took everything worth note from her parents house and sold it as well. She moved into a highrise apartment room built for one and pondered upon what she should do with her life. She and Icicle, known by, Sarah to Helina decided on her future. She would go back to heroing under a different name. 'Gravity Gal' was too 50s, too retro, they came up with the name 'Gravitas', a bit more appropriate for the time frame. Sarah, who had practically turned into the sassiest old woman you would ever meet, designed Helina's new costume. A lot less skimpy and fun than her previous two and a lot more practical and sleek. In fact, it seemed that Sarah was sassy enough to warrant her own daytime chat show. Her reputation as a superhero preceded her and she often got old heroes and villains who had reformed their ways on to talk about the news and whatnot. Sarah and Helina had practically written a script of what they were going to say on the show in order for Helina to seem as cool and edgy as possible and they had both memorized it to a T. Helina appeared alongside Gomez, and his former nemesis, Rolling Ball, or Louise to the public nowadays. Sarah asked the first question to Helina, one that was sure to establish her as a cool hero that the youth of the time could relate to and think was one of the 'punks'. And what did Helina do? She stuttered. Her voice came out as some form of high pitch morse code. She had never appeared on TV before and it was obviously making her nervous. Her voice was much higher than usual and she sounded like a train going along tracks. Suffice to say she had screwed up in her quest to seem edgy. Louise surprisingly helped her though by changing the subject before she could embarrass herself more.
Helina was a hot topic in the presses and talkshows. She expected to be called a fool and to be largely made fun of. But it seemed that it was only the minority of media that actually mocked her. Most of the media took a better approach to her, referencing her speech back in the late 40s and talking about how "America's old heroes could still kick some ass!", ignorant to the fact that Helina was Polish. She came back with a boom, fighting throughout the 80s until 2015. When the end of the world began.
A new villain, unlike any the world had ever seen appeared and threatened a regime not seen since The Second World War upon Earth under the rule of himself and some alien overlords. He vastly underestimated their intellect. They executed him as soon as they returned and after encountering resistance from many superheroes from across the globe, decided that humanity was not worth the effort. They engineered a virus to kill off the vast majority of humans and even quite a few superhumans. Helina was not one of them. She began travelling all over America after the 'apocalypse' eventually settling down in Carolina.

Roleplay: Dragonball: Warriors of Time
Name: Satchi
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Race: Human
Appearance: Satchi is a human woman, standing at a rather small 5 foot 4. Her skin is a healthy peach color, obviously from eating healthily and exercise, and her build, despite being slim and womanly, showcases that she is not to be trifled with lightly. Her face is heart-shaped and considered pretty amongst other humans her own age, and very youthful, still looking within the cusps of adulthood. Minor freckles dot over the bridge of her nose, complimenting her deep blue, bright aqua eyes. Her hair is a bright blonde, and rather long, going down to her waist in silky locks, with bangs criss-crossing over her forehead and slightly in her eyes. Her travelling attire are a pair of yellow shorts, hard-soled travelling sneakers, and a form-fitting white t-shirt, sleeveless. Over this, unzipped, is a jacket that stops right below her chest, a burnt red in color. On the back of the jacket is the capsule corp logo, complete with the brand name beneath it. She also wears a pair of dust coloured fingerless gloves.
Moves:
-Flurry of Rage:
Satchi unleashes a barrage of punches and kicks far quicker than that of her normal speed. This is only ever really unleashed during a fit of rage and as such cannot be done on purpose.
-Insane Laser:
Satchi raises her hand to her head, with her fingers pointing upwards in a gun-like pose. Her eyes close before she quickly opens them and drops her hand, gripping her wrist and pointing it to her enemy. A bright blue beam fires from her fingers and obliterates anything in her path.
-Super Hero:
Satchi honours her father by doing some of his signature moves in one gruesome attack. She first suplexes her enemy, before rolling back over and powerbombing them. She then positions herself so that her legs are locked around her opponents arm and they are unable to escape. She then at least attempts to break their arm or at least pull it from its socket.
Personality:
Satchi is a very headstrong young woman who is still at the end of her 'rebellious' phase. She has been known to disregard most authority and go her own way. That being said, if the authority is someone she liked or respected, she would follow the order, albeit with a bit of banter. She is rather sensitive about her height and is quick to send a punch to the jaw of anyone 'rude' enough to comment on it. She is rather loud mouthed and could practically talk about anything for hours without a stop if you let her. During battle she can be equally as loud, insulting and taunting her enemies while sending hit after hit their way. She is an adept learner and her parents often said that if she had stuck in at school she could have been a scholar rather than a fighter. The one thing you must remember with Satchi is to not get between her and her food. She loves food almost as much as she loves life and is willing to defend it like a bear would defend its cub.
History:
Satchi was born in West City to a baker and a famous wrestler who went under the alias of "Super Hero". A rather uninspired name, but one nonetheless. She had two older brothers growing up, with whom Satchi would often get into fights. A psychiatrist would probably pin her tomboyish attitude down to this, but none could have probably gotten close enough to her without her attempting to suplex them, even at her young age. While her mother wanted Satchi to go into baking like she had done, Satchi was much more interested in the wrestling that her father did. She was signed up for martial arts lessons at the age of 7 and had achieved mastery of at least 2 by the age of 9. To say she was an adept learner would be an understatement.
That being said, she didn't do exceptionally well at school. She would often sneak out in order to go watch wrestling or kung fu or even to get into fights herself. Her teachers did not approve to put it bluntly. She bothered and badgered her parents to allow her to enter the World Martial Arts tournament every time the sign ups started. Of course, they did not allow her, fearing that she would be utterly destroyed by the much stronger and bigger contestants. Satchi was devastated each time, throwing practically the exact same tantrum each time she was denied. She was happy to see her father enter one year, something which he ultimately regretted.
He was doing rather well in the tournament, progressing rapidly through the ranks until he had reached the semi-finals. When he met his final opponent. The man was a behemoth, towering over anyone who stood in his way. He humiliated Satchi's father, doing an array of embarrassing moves which ultimately left her father's reputation in tatters. He came home broken, and took his own life a few months after the event happened. Satchi was devastated, she was in her mid teens at this time and made the rather stupid decision to run away from home. She stole her neighbours motorcycle and rode off in the direction of East City.
Satchi made a living through various impromptu races and fighting tournaments. Her small stature and size put her at a slight advantage to her opponents as they often underestimated her which in turn led to her being able to get the upperhand early on in the fight. Her 'fun' stopped when she challenged a rather old martial arts master to a fight. The master thrashed her, beating her before she could get more than one hit in. That one hit was enough though, the master hadn't been hit in years unless he had allowed it. He saw great potential within Satchi and instead of taking her money, offered her training in exchange for it. Satchi was rather raw about the fight at first, stating that she didn't need his help and that he had just gotten lucky. She hopped on her bike and threw the money at him, driving off into the night wounded and bruised.
She returned the next day with tears in her eyes and an apology on her lips. She explained to the master about her father and his death and how she had been living since then. He understood completely and gave her a place to stay within his house while he trained her, day and night. For the entire time she stayed with the master she only ever saw about 30 people other than him. He was in the middle of a desert so not many other apprentices came looking for him, and those who did quickly changed their mind after seeing Satchi being forced to lift a rock the size of a house. Other than that, it was mainly people from a local village that her master often got Satchi to deliver products to from his farm that made up the vast majority of other people.
She finished her training around the time she turned 18. Her master had taught her a great deal about respect and discipline but not enough it seemed for her to refrain from playfully calling him 'old man' once more before she left. It was clear in her mind what she had to do after her training was complete. She travelled to Papaya island to sign up for the World Martial Arts Tournament. She tore through everyone up until the finals. Where she met the very man that caused her fathers death. She obliterated him, not letting him get a hit in before she sent him flying out of the ring. She was deemed the champion and sent swaggering happily into the sunset with her prize money. She returned back to her master, only to find it empty. The majority of his belongings were still there, but some various objects had gone missing. Fearing the worst, Satchi went out in search of her master.
She travelled all over the world, honing her fighting skills under various fighting schools and tournaments while she searched for the man who made her the fighter she was today. To her slight annoyance and bountiful joy, she received a postcard while staying in a hotel. As it turned out, her master had gone in search of 'Love' and found a young girl with whom he was staying with on some island resort. While Satchi could have spotted a gold digger like that from a mile off, it seems the old men wasn't as adept in that art.
Just before her transfer by Trunks, Satchi was attempting to use what was left of her prize money after the purchase of a new motorcycle in the pursuit of buying a restaurant and running it as her own. It seems that this hope of settling down will have to wait.

Roleplay: Superhumans Awaken
You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone. - Al Capone
Name:
Alessandra 'Alessa' De Luca
Age:
17
Appearance:
Alessa stands at 5 foot 6 and has a thin build. Her skin is rather pale, a result of her sheltered upbringing. Her hair is a jet black, and travels slightly past her waist. She has a scar that travels diagonally across her forearm, but has no other scars or tattoos other than this.
Gender:
Female
Skills:
Power:
What gave you your power?:
Personality:
The first thing most people notice about, Alessa is her outgoingness combined with her stubbornness. She's happily talk to anyone, as long as they weren't some weirdo, but it's extremely hard to convince her of an opinion that isn't her own, and even harder to stop her talking when she gets on the topic of something she likes. A risk taker, Alessa is quite brave and courageous when it comes to danger, having been in far too many dangerous situations for a girl her age in the first place.
Bio: What did you do for a living, what do you want us to know about your history, etc.
Alessa was born on a snowy night in the middle of December in Naples, Italy. To understand her story, you must first understand her parents' story. Her father was the son of an Italian mobster, and had taken the reigns for the American side of the operation at the young age of 19. His father had arranged for a marriage with him and the daughter of a Triad gang boss. While the two fathers were ecstatic about the concept of joining the gangs and conquering America together, the children were less than pleased. There was little to no chemistry between them and Alessa's mother was pretty sure that her husband was gay for a large part of the start of the marriage.
They got on as well as they could, and eventually gave birth to, Alessa. Her early life was as sheltered as possible. She was home schooled by hand picked teachers and any friends she made were vetted and threatened with violence if any arguments broke out between them and Alessa. Because of this, she didn't keep many friends very long. Her one lifelong friend was her main teacher, a man by the name of, Tony. Tony was a former home economics teacher who had gotten a place within the mafia after accidentally saving the life of one of the higher up members children. He subsequently quit teaching and became the right hand man to, Alessa's father.
He taught her practically everything she knew, taking teaching duties not only for home economics but also for English, Maths and French. He quickly became her best friend, incorporating fun into his lessons along with all the knowledge needed.
Her sheltered streak came to an end with her teens though, as a more rebellious attitude emerged along with a longing for more human interaction than that with her family and their friends. She practically forced her parents to allow her to be enrolled in school, a private one of course. Upon arrival, she realized she wasn't exactly on the same wave length as many of the other girls. While most girls childhoods were filled with playing with barbies and styling their hair, Alessa's childhood was filled with learning how to fire guns and protect herself in a fire fight. Luckily enough for her, she was taken under the wing of one of the more popular girls, who in turn taught her the meaning of vanity and transformed Alessa from a tomboy into a regular, slightly vain girl.
Her time at school was cut short after a rival gang threatened to shoot it up after, Alessa's father tried to expand his territory. From then on she only went to school for one or two days a week, and the rest of the week was spent in home schooling.

Skills:
- Great with pistols and revolvers
- Can speak English, Chinese and Italian fluently and knows a few phrases of French
- Knows how to sew clothes, along with various other 'home economics' based skills
Power:
Alessa's power is to travel through and make things travel through reflections. For example, she could travel through a mirror, no matter how small, and to another mirror in a location that she knows about. Along with this, she can travel through things like reflections in water and eyes. This allows her to do things like chuck a stone through a mirror and have it come out of a pool of water.
What gave you your power?:
Her vanity combined where her yearning to be elsewhere at many points in her life combined to give her the power. Her power first showed itself after a rather heated argument between her parents was going on as, Alessa put on her makeup. She fell through her mirror and came out through the one in her bathroom. Suffice to say, she was shocked.

Because of this, she didn't keep many friends very long. Her one lifelong friend was her main teacher, a man by the name of, Tony. Tony was a former home economics teacher who had gotten a place within the mafia after accidentally saving the life of one of the higher up members children. He subsequently quit teaching and became the right hand man to, Alessa's father.
He taught her practically everything she knew, taking teaching duties not only for home economics but also for English, Maths and French. He quickly became her best friend, incorporating fun into his lessons along with all the knowledge needed.
Her sheltered streak came to an end with her teens though, as a more rebellious attitude emerged along with a longing for more human interaction than that with her family and their friends. She practically forced her parents to allow her to be enrolled in school, a private one of course. Upon arrival, she realized she wasn't exactly on the same wave length as many of the other girls. While most girls childhoods were filled with playing with barbies and styling their hair, Alessa's childhood was filled with learning how to fire guns and protect herself in a fire fight. Luckily enough for her, she was taken under the wing of one of the more popular girls, who in turn taught her the meaning of vanity and transformed Alessa from a tomboy into a regular, slightly vain girl.
Her time at school was cut short after a rival gang threatened to shoot it up after, Alessa's father tried to expand his territory. From then on she only went to school for one or two days a week, and the rest of the week was spent in home schooling.

Roleplay: Titans of Gotham
Secret ID: Vesta 'Ves' Petrakis
Alias: Argonaut
Age: 18
Home Location: Themyscria, althought she is currently situated in Metropolis.
Powers:
-Enhanced aspects of the human body
-Flight
-Healing factor
Weaknesses:
-Naivety
-Piercing weapons hurt her more than any other kind.

-Lasso of truth
-Bracelets of submission
-Tiara(explained below)

Appearance:
Personality:
Vesta is rather naive but also very courageous and willing to help anyone who needs it. A well of compassion, Vesta treats everyone equally no matter their creed, race or gender. To the point where she'd rather convince a racist to change their ways rather than attack them. Vesta tries to make jokes, but they often fall flat because of her lack of knowledge about the outside worlds customs and whatnot. While she displays a great degree of confidence, Vesta is deeply insecure and often talks about how much better her sister is when people compliment her.
The one thing that Ves is most interested in is 80s music. Her favourite band is The Smiths and even mentioning them in a positive light can make just about anyone her new best friend.

BRIEF Bio:
Vesta was born on the mythical isle of Themyscria. Vesta, like her sister, Diana was 'born' through her 'mother', Hippolyta creating her with clay and the soul of an unborn baby. Vesta was born quite a few years after Diana who had left Themyscria before Vesta had even begun her training.
Vesta's training began when she was around 15. Her training was a tough and rigorous regime, exhausting both her body and her mind while strengthening them at the same time. Much more emphasis was based around her mental skills though, as she was never really meant to be a warrior, just a trainer. Vesta was kept oblivious to the technology and customs of the outside world, only learning what a boy was after Diana visited home and told Vesta various things about the outside world. Of course, Vesta was still quite young and the explanation was cut short of "Girls, but with hair on their chins" and Vesta was left mostly in the dark about men.
Vesta was never intended to leave Themyscria at all, instead being trained to defend it from any danger and so she could train any new Amazons to a much more efficient rate than before. However, Vesta was curious and yearned to see the outside world after speaking with her sister rather often. Eventually, after much pestering, she was allowed to visit the outside world with Hippolyta thinking that she'd prefer the comfort of home to the harshness of the 'real' world. Of course, she was wrong.
During her short visit to the outside world, Vesta was contacted by Robin and subsequently got her arse kicked with the rest of the 'team' in the fight that concluded with Robins death. Shortly after, Hippolyta had equipment similar to that of, Diana's made for Vesta in order to help her better defend herself. Of course, Vesta isn't well versed in the use of this equipment just yet but is getting the hang of using them as quickly as she can.
Vesta loved the outside world. Diana showed her how differing the technology and culture was to that of Themyscria and Vesta finally saw a man. Although while she has seen a man she still confuses non-bearded men for women every now and then. She was allowed to stay in Metropolis, cutting her training short and leaving her under the supervision of her sister.
Notes:
-Favourite band is "The Smiths"
-Has a major crush on a young David Bowie
-Favourite colour is purple
-Her favourite song is "Love and Pride" by King, although this changes frequently.

Appearance:
Vesta stands at a whopping 7 foot. She has a lightly muscular physique that does not represent her true strength by far. Her hair reaches down to her lower back and is a raven black. Vesta's skin is more pale than it is tan, although not pale enough to actually make any obvious comment about it. Her eyes are a piercing blue and are easily recognizable among other eyes. Her equipment is similar to her sisters, both in style and hue except with Vesta's having darker shades of each colour overall, and with the blue being replaced with black. While much of the equipment that Vesta received remains the same, the bracers have suffered a design change that has made them longer and more stylized. Along with this, the tiara has been replaced with a sort of metal headband that can be used as a throwing weapon alike the tiara.
Her costume is much more modern than her sisters, and while she retains a similar sort of breastplate, hers goes up to her neck rather than stopping below her shoulders. She also has tight fitting black trousers under a small amount of armour along with boots. All of her armour is styled around the Amazons.
When off mission, Ves can usually be seen wearing some sort of band T-shirt along with jeans and whatnot. She hasn't really adapted to the fashion of the outside world and it took Diana some time to explain to her that going out in a toga isn't really socially acceptable.

Sample Post:
Vesta dodged under the knife of her attacker. Attacker was a generous way to put it, he hadn't landed a hit on her yet. She dodged left of one swipe and right of another, unhooking her lasso and unfurling it in one flick of her wrist. She jumped back as the attacker sent a jab towards her before swinging her arm back and sending the lasso forward in one fell swoop. The lasso affixed itself around the thugs wrist, and with one tug he was sent tumbling into the wall.
Vesta flew through the air with the grace of an eagle. Swooping between buildings and under cranes as if she were born of bird herself. She looked down to the terrified criminal she held in her sturdy grip. Her mind drifted back to hearing what various other superheroes had said on the news. They usually said something dramatic and heroic to the criminal in a time like this and Vesta would be damned if she couldn't think of something cool and inspirational to say.
"Young Lady that is no way to act" She said, an obvious lack of inspiration or any semblance of cool. She saw the assailant turn their head to her with a puzzled look growing on their face.
"Young Lady?" They spoke "I'm a man!" He screamed, visibly distressed and insecure about his appearance. Vesta furrowed her brow in confusion before the confusion turned to embarrassment and her cheeks grew red.
"But you have long hair?" She said, visibly confused. The thug, equally confused asked
"So?" In a seemingly calm voice for the current situation. Vesta didn't answer, she just looked forward and left the man to stew in his own anxiety. This was the second time this week that she'd mistaken a man for a woman, and it was only Wednesday. She made haste to reach the police station and drop off the criminal before things got even more awkward.
Vesta returned to her small apartment late that night. She was surprised to find a letter left on her bed. She opened the letter with intrigue and was confused to find a meeting place written on the paper. She debated going, but ultimately decided there was little point in not going and made a mental note of the date of said meeting.

Roleplay: It's Operation Masquerade
Name:
Azah Faizan
Age:
18
Height
5 foot 6
Weight:
8 stone
Eye Color:
Blue
Hair Color:
Light brown
Mask:
A Colombina eye mask. The mask is trimmed with a gold material and splits down the nose with one side being black and the other being red.
Occupation/Status:
Baker's apprentice
Strengths:
-Knows the basics on how to defend herself
-Nimble
-Knows quite a bit of sleight of hand
-Good at bartering
Weakness:
-Overconfident in most things
-Has trouble assimilating into the Oberon culture
-Gets herself into big trouble for small things quite often
Relationship:
Expected to be engaged.
Personality:
Azah is very outgoing and confident, which can often get her into trouble or end up with her saying something she would later regret more often than not. Because of her past, Azah has trouble adapting to the oppressive Oberonian culture, and will often act out of place because of this trouble. She is also a massive creature of habit, finding it troublesome to stop any routines she puts herself in. An example of a habit she has is that she often bites her fingernails when nervous.
Bio:
Azah was born in a land outside of Oberon, over a vast sea and an even more vast desert. The place she grew up in was far different from Oberon, rather than a king it had a system similar to that of the Boule in ancient Greece. Women also had many more rights, and were almost equal to men in terms of law and whatnot. The land's name was, Ayat.
Ayat was discovered by Oberon around 10 years before, Azah was born. This was when her father met her mother. It was practically a tale from a children's story book, young dashing thief meets the wealthy daughter of a ship captain and they fall in love almost immediately. Azah never believed a word of it, and she was right to. What really happened was that her mother thought her father was an idiot, but he pursued her long enough to eventually sway her into giving him a chance and things just sprouted from there.
Azah was born in Ayat during a sandstorm. It was during this storm that her mother realized her desire to return to Oberon and shortly after Azah's birth she forced her father to make plans to take them back. Azah's father, none the wiser about the laws and whatnot in Oberon was more than happy to come, thinking that they would be living in wealth with his wife's father. He was, of course, wrong. Her father wasn't actually as wealthy as he had thought, and could only afford to help buy them a house, albeit a rather large one.
They raised, Azah in that house, both getting jobs as were appropriate. Her father often snuck out to do his old thieving though, a bad habit he couldn't stop even if he tried. His habit came in handy though, it helped him teach, Azah how to defend herself and how to do a bit of sleight of hand at the same time.
Azah's life growing up was mostly bland and boring. Her mother did her best to teach her about the world and give her somewhat of an education, but it seemed to be in vain. Azah snuck out to go play by the riverbed most of the time and to be frank, her mother wasn't the best teacher.
Azah was practically forced into work at the age of 14, and became a baker's apprentice. Although she would have liked to do something more exciting like sailing or becoming a knight her parents both explained that it was impossible for a woman to do such things in Oberon. That was when Azah became determined to start a change.

Roleplay: Young Justice
Alias -
Tisiphone
Age - 18
Appearance -
Louisa has long bright blonde hair that stretches down to her shoulder. She stands at just 5 foot 6 and has a lightly muscular physique that betrays her true strength. Her skin is rather pale and she doesn't care a huge amount about tanning it. The most notable feature of, Louisa comes from her alien heritage, her green eyes. Unlike humans who have green eyes, rather than having just the iris being coloured, instead, Louisa's iris and the centre of her eye is green. She is hardly ever seen without her mothers headband, which bears the pattern of yellow and orange triangles and tails off down to her waist.
Personality - What is your character like?
Louisa is known for being adaptable to her situation. She is able to improvise in times of high pressure and ultimately is able to make do with what she has whatever the situation. If there are two things you mustn't do around, Louisa it's insulting her family or her height. Doing so will end in either Louisa sulking/storming off or her never forgiving you again as long as she lives. She always believes in doing the right thing, and tires to do what's best for everyone as much as possible.
Power/ability -
Because of her youth, Louisa's powers offer much room to grow and develop, with her Amazonian based powers being the most likely to grow as she ages.
-Enhanced aspects of the human body, with strength being the main attribute being empowered.
-Amazonian training, although started late and was finished early.
-Louisa is also to absorb and re-emit kinetic energy. This means that if she were punched, she would be able to transfer this energy into her next attack or even into a ranged laser based attack.
Weakness -
-Rhodium is her main weakness. A handful will make her feel weak, and enough will completely de-power her.
-Excessive damage of course, while she is much more durable than the average human she is still susceptible to death through natural means if the damage is great enough.
Bio -
Louisa is the daughter of the unlikely couple of an Amazon and an alien. Her mother, an amazon who escaped Themyscria in search of a less secluded life and instead found an alien in her such predicament. Louisa's father had escaped from a planet very similar to Earth, but with the major change of it being under martial law and with citizens being executed for small things like littering or voicing the wrong opinion. They both managed to work together in order to establish a 'normal' life for themselves and later had a daughter, not knowing what the result of mixing Amazon and alien genes would be.
The result was, Lousia, probably the shortest 'Amazon' there is. She was born in Germany, but learned various languages as she grew. Her early life was relatively normal, with her parents trying to keep both of their heritages a secret from, Louisa. Unfortunately, this was a lot harder than it sounded. The Amazons were hot on the trail of the family, looking to bring Louisa's mother back and properly train Louisa as an Amazon. However, Louisa's parents just wanted a normal life for them and their daughter and as a result went on the run.
Louisa lived a life of travel until she was about 11. This was when things took a major turn for the worse. They arrived in Maine late at night, and everyone was far too tired to deal with any problems. As Louisa slept in the car her parents went to get supplies at a nearby gas station. They were unfortunately murdered by an upcoming super villain who had been tracking the family for weeks. He was about to creep up on, Louisa when he was stopped by the Amazons who had also been tracking Louisa and her family.
Louisa woke up in Themyscria, confused and full of questions. Unfortunately for her, these would only be answered once she returned to America. In the mean time, she was trained to be an Amazon. Unsurprisingly, her increased attributes and abilities that she gained from her father made her quite troublesome for her trainers. Sadly, her training had to be cut short, as Hippolyta willed for Louisa to return to America as per her mothers wishes.
Louisa returned with a portion of money given to her by the Amazons. She managed to buy an apartment and find a job, but her life was left feeling empty. She began heroing to fill this emptiness and has recently been contacted about joining 'Young Justice'.
Notes -
-Favourite colour is green
-Favourite band is De La Soul
-Favourite song is "A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays"

Roleplay: Spooks vs Students
Name:
Eva Nováková
Gender:
Female
Age:
17
Appearance:
Eva stands at 5 foot 7 and has a thin physique. Her skin is rather pale, a contrast to her piercing blue eyes. Her hair is rather long, and reaches down just past her waist and is the same raven black as her eyebrows.
Personality:
After years of moving from country to country and from school to school, Eva has developed a sort of faux-confidence. While she'll happily strike up a conversation with just about anyone, she's hesitant to reveal to much about herself, seeing it as pointless as she expects to just move away again soon. She is very open minded, and will probably believe anything if it's said convincingly enough. That being said, she isn't dumb. She does well in all of her classes and has an aptitude for languages and maths. Eva is also very easily embarrassed, if someone were to say something about her that is even obviously untrue, but still embarrassing then you will no doubt see her covering her cheeks with her hands in an effort to conceal her blushing.
History: They are a high school student. Don't go crazy.
Eva was originally born in, Ostrava in the Czech Republic. Her father was a wealthy Polish business advisor, famed for his ability to turn failing businesses into well known brands. Her mother had the much less exciting job of being an online teacher. As a result of her fathers job, Eva only managed to spend the first 5 or so years of her life in her home city before she was forced to move to, Germany where her father had a long term job set up in which he advised a supermarket chain.
Eva stayed in Germany until she was around 9, when she was forced to move yet again. This time to Wales. Wales was a funny place to her, and was where she primarily learned English, which is why she sounds rather strange when speaking it. Again, her time in Wales was relatively short lived and she was moved to Slovakia, where she spent the rest of her time up until she moved to Japan around 2 months ago. She's been encouraged both by her language counsellor and her parents to join a few clubs to get integrated better, which is why she's currently joining the occult club, having mistaken the Japanese word for 'occult' as 'music'. Don't ask how she did it, but she did.
Skills:
-Can speak Czech, Slovak, German, Polish, English and of course, Japanese.
-Can sew just about anything
-Plays the violin
Other:
-Isn't fully fluent in Japanese just yet

She is very open minded, and will probably believe anything if it's said convincingly enough. That being said, she isn't dumb. She does well in all of her classes and has an aptitude for languages and maths. Eva is also very easily embarrassed, if someone were to say something about her that is even obviously untrue, but still embarrassing then you will no doubt see her covering her cheeks with her hands in an effort to conceal her blushing.
History: They are a high school student. Don't go crazy.
Eva was originally born in, Ostrava in the Czech Republic. Her father was a wealthy Polish business advisor, famed for his ability to turn failing businesses into well known brands. Her mother had the much less exciting job of being an online teacher. As a result of her fathers job, Eva only managed to spend the first 5 or so years of her life in her home city before she was forced to move to, Germany where her father had a long term job set up in which he advised a supermarket chain.
Eva stayed in Germany until she was around 9, when she was forced to move yet again. This time to Wales. Wales was a funny place to her, and was where she primarily learned English, which is why she sounds rather strange when speaking it. Again, her time in Wales was relatively short lived and she was moved to Slovakia, where she spent the rest of her time up until she moved to Japan around 2 months ago. She's been encouraged both by her language counsellor and her parents to join a few clubs to get integrated better, which is why she's currently joining the occult club, having mistaken the Japanese word for 'occult' as 'music'. Don't ask how she did it, but she did.
Skills:
-Can speak Czech, Slovak, German, Polish, English and of course, Japanese.
-Can sew just about anything
-Plays the violin
Other:
-Isn't fully fluent in Japanese just yet

Roleplay: Ommni Project
-Brothers-Thieves-
Name:
Cadmael and Tacitus Bomani
Age:
21 and 12
Looks:
Cadmael stands at a tall 6 foot 3 and has a muscular physique. His skin is bronzed and he has long, dark brown hair that reaches down just past his shoulders. Three noticeable features of his are his strong jaw and his well defined cheekbones along with his hazel eyes. He is almost never seen without his almost comically tall green cap.
Tacitus bears little resemblance to his older brother, standing at just 5 foot 4 and having a rather lithe body type. In fact, the only things that really link them are their similar skin tone and hair colour. Tacitus' hair is styled upwards into a sort of flat top esque style, but with more wildness to it than the ordinary style. His eyes are brown, and his features are small and wide. Alike his brother, he also has a signature cap, a sun visor almost always pushed to the right.
Personality:
The brothers differ greatly in terms of personality. While, Cadmael is rather outgoing and confrontational, Tacitus is the exact opposite, instead being shy and preferring to avoid any confrontation at all. Secondly, the brothers differ on how they think and use this knowledge. While, Cadmael is more street smart, Tacitus is much more book smart. For example, Cadmael would know how to navigate a town and pickpocket a person, while Tacitus would know how to calculate a complex formula and solve a riddle.
Despite their differences, both brothers love each other dearly and share a die hard loyalty for each other. And put it this way, if you even think about doing Tacitus any form of harm then you'll get "These guns, my friend" as Cadmael puts it.
Ability:
Cadmael:
Cadmael possess the powers of super strength and speed, but only for the upper half of his body. For example, while he would be able to throw thousands of punches within only 30 seconds or so, he is not able to match this speed by running. This power can be used both offensively and defensively through means of being able to catch a speeding bullet if he is far away enough and being able to stop a sword in his hands if he caught it through the sheer durability of them.
Tacitus:
Tacitus has the ability to turn invisible and intangible to non-living objects. Essentially he can remain invisible for as long as he can hold his breath, and is able to pass through any non-living object that he can predict the movement of at will.
Bio:
Cadmael Bomani was born on a stereotypically warm night in Aswan, Egypt. His parents owned and managed a small hotel in the city, with his father working as a kebab salesman on the side to help them keep a stable pay grade throughout the months where there were less visitors to Aswan. His early life was fairly normal, he did alright in school and excelled at sport, but things took a dive when he started getting in with a rather bad crowd as it were. While, Cadmael's family could sustain themselves rather well within Aswan, the friends that Cadmael had made were unfortunately not in the same position, and many of them were poor enough to have been taught how to pickpocket.
Of course, they taught Cadmael this skill and he put it into use even if he didn't have the need to. This ended up in many punishments and tellings off, but as he grew older he got better and better at the art, to the point where getting caught wasn't even a thought to him.
Things changed a lot around the time he turned 9 though, as this was when his brother, Tacitus was born. His family hammered in the idea that he had to set a good example to his younger brother, and suffice to say it worked. He stopped hanging about with the rebels and wrongdoers that he knew and decided to instead become an ideal brother so that he could care and teach his brother as they both grew.
Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worst around the time, Cadmael turned 16 and Tacitus turned 7. They were on holiday in America, when they were kidnapped and subjected to the Ommni Project. Fortunately for them, they were still under the supervision of, Martain and so their stay was a lot more cushy than it was until, Pearce came into the project.
The brothers used their combined powers and intellect to hatch a plan to escape the facility and free a few other of their 'gifted' brethren along with them. Essentially, Tacitus used his power to manoeuvre through the facility with ease, before activating the gas pipes within the main mess hall of the building throughout lunchtime. This was where, Cadmael and his brute force came in. He punched the wall at an impossible rate, busting through with ease and breaking open the gas pipe. This was where their combined intellect came in. Tacitus knew that the gas would explode if exposed to an open flame, and Cadmael had learned multiple ways to start a fire through his teenage years of camping. He blew the wall open and both he and his brother escaped out into the wilderness.
They have lived on the streets of America for a year or so now, and have only just discovered and began collaborating with the Rogue Enforcers.

Roleplay: Running From the World
Name:
Sydney 'Sid' Townsend and Nebez Townsend - previously under the surname of Sancar.
Age:
24 and 14
Gender:
Both male
Nationality:
Australia and Kurdistan - specifically Turkey
Prison Faction:
Factionless
Appearance:
Sid stands at a tall 6 foot 1 and has a muscular physique. He has long, almost messy blond hair that reaches down just past his shoulders, and sideburns that match the height of his earlobe. His eyes are a piercing blue, and stick out amongst his seemingly pale skin. He has a strong jaw, and noticeable cheekbones. He is almost never seen without wide brimmed, slouch hat.
Nebez stands at a relatively short 5 foot 2 and is rather skinny for his age. His skin is bronzed, causing him to stick out like a sore thumb near his 'brother'. His hair is black and stands tall on his head, being held up by a mixture of gel and his sun visor. He has round, wide features and brown eyes.
Ability:
Biography:
The Townsend brothers story starts out with the older brother, Sydney Townsend. Sydney was born in a rural part of Australia to a farmer father and a mother who died during childbirth. The result of her death enraged, Sydney's father, who blamed Sydney for his wife's death. As a result of this, he was extremely abusive both physically and vocally towards, Sid, who grew up a nervous wreck because of this treatment. His power manifested when he was about 12, which was when he got his revenge on his dear old dad. He discovered his powers after losing a kite in a tree, without knowing it, Sid used his vines to retrieve the kite from the tree. He subsequently trained and honed his power into a defensive and offensive weapon to use against his father.
In a rather Tarantino-esque situation, Sid dragged his father out by his neck and essentially hanged him on a tall tree. He ran away from home after that, having changed from an anxious young boy into a brave man in only a night. He travelled the world, hitching rides on trucks and stowing away on boats whilst finding work in each town he ended up in and surviving through thievery if he couldn't find any work.
He did this until he turned 16, when he had found his way into the middle east. He was hired by a farmer to hunt predators for him, this was when, Sid had found his true calling. He was a crack shot, and gained a reputation for this through the various times that he used his skill to impress women in each town he went to. This skill lead him to, Turkey, specifically a small village by the name of Akin.
The town was mainly used for farming, but had a few shops here and there. This was where he met, Nebez. Nebez was the son of an abusive farmer far worse than Sid's father. Sid, knowing he had to do what he thought was right, shot the farmer in the gut and took the 6 year old, Nebez on his journey throughout the world.
The two travelled for years on end, using Sid's street smarts and, Nebez' book smarts to form a deadly duo that resulted in a lot more money than either of the two had ever seen. Along with the increase in profit, the two actually became brothers, if not by blood then by psyche.
Unfortunately things changed drastically when they made their way to the U.S. Neither of the two had any idea about the strict rules and regulations on super humans within the U.S, and Sid had no idea that Nebez even had a power. As a result, both had to keep quiet about their powers. Which was easier said than done what with, Sid's arrogance. Eventually the jig was up though, and Sid was forced to use his power to attempt to subdue a much stronger opponent than he had anticipated. The vines didn't work, and Nebez was forced to transform a nearby rock into a frog and then throw it at the opponent, inflicting the damage of the collision onto the opponent. The two escaped, but were quickly found by police after security footage of the two was released.
Sid and Nebez have been plotting in secret about how to escape the Center ever since they were imprisoned there. So far, none of their plans have worked.
Personality:
Sid and Nebez have two very different personalities. Sid is rather outgoing and arrogant, while Nebez is the exact opposite, being shy and never fully realizing the extent of his abilities. While arrogant, Sid isn't stupid. He knows when he's going to lose a fight and won't hesitate to turn tail and run if he thinks he has a chance of getting his shit kicked in. Nebez is just as cowardly, preferring to avoid any sort of conflict if possible. The brothers are both extremely loyal to each other, and Sid will often keep Nebez out of any danger that he can and could be considered rather overprotective of his younger brother.
Other:
Sid refuses to join any faction, believing that being in one would just bring more trouble than it would repent.

His hair is black and stands tall on his head, being held up by a mixture of gel and his sun visor. He has round, wide features and brown eyes.
Ability:
Sid has the power of creating and controlling thorned vines. These vines can act as a whip, lasso, grappling hook and just about anything that Sid can think of making them into. While the vines are strong enough to lift and throw a grown man, they are also very easy to cut, and a well placed sword swipe will snap them in half. Along with this, it's main weakness is, Sid's own stupidity at times. He often attempts to grab a person with them only to be thrown around like a ragdoll as a result of the person he grabbed being stronger than he was.
Nebez has the power of life manipulation. Don't worry, it's not nearly as overpowered as it sounds. Essentially, Nebez is able to turn inorganic objects such as a deodorant can or a water bottle into a small animal like a beetle or a frog, and then control this animal's movements and actions. If someone were to attack the animal, they would receive the amount of pain they would have inflicted upon the animal. Along with this, Nebez is able to heal small wounds such as a broken leg or a large gash, but not much else. His power has not fully developed yet and his healing is growing stronger as he practices it.

Roleplay: Gritty Superhero-Villain RP
Name:
Haie 'Hal' Kantorek
Age:
29
Appearance:
Hal stands at 5 foot 11 and has a muscular physique. His hair is unruly, and bright blonde contrasting with his single dark brown eye. His left eye is missing, and in its place rests a robotic eye that constantly glows red. The skin around the eye is slightly lighter than most of his face, as it was grafted from a corpse. His right arm from the elbow down is completely mechanical, and is a dark black with small red lights glowing here and there. His most noticeable feature is, of course, his right leg. While both legs are mechanical, his right leg is distinctly different due to it having been a prototype at the time of 'installation'.
Personal issue:
PTSD and Phantom Limb Syndrome
Power:
Telekenesis, although this is only minor and his real power lies within his augmentations. He is able to run far faster than any human athlete and can scale a building through the sheer power in his mechanical legs. Along with this, his right knee actually contains a high powered revolver, which he can aim and fire with accuracy thanks to his right eye's increased eyesight due to it being mechanical.
Personality:
Hal is a very outgoing and enthusiastic man. Often taunting his opponents in combat or having friendly banter with team mates. Unfortunately though, there are also some very dark sides to his personality. Due to his mechanical eye being directly linked to his brain, the AI embedded in the eye has slowly begun trying to take over control of his body. This has resulted in some less than nice traits. For example, he is highly sadistic and won't hesitate to put his enemy in as much pain as possible even if it means more work for himself.
Bio:
Hal was born in Düsseldorf, Germany to a businessman father and a housewife mother. For the majority of his early life he was just a normal kid, developing and growing as every other child did. That is until his power manifested. He was 15 or so at the time and was being bullied by a group of older kids at a local play park. Before he knew what he was doing, he had sent the older kids flying across the park as if they were ragdolls. He ran home and told no one of that day, instead opting to train his power in secret.
Years past and Hal eventually joined the German military at the young age of 17. He quickly excelled through the ranks, putting improvision along with tactics and of course, skill into use on the battlefield as well as a veteran would do. He eventually joined the Kommando Spezialkräfte later on in his military career. It was in this role that his life changed forever.
He was on an operation in the middle east, to save a hostage from a terror cell. However, the terrorists actually had no intention of allowing the hostage to live and had killed him hours before Hal and his team arrived. The team quickly discovered bombs and rapidly tried to make their way out of the building. Unfortunately, no one did. Hal suffered the least injury of the team, and that's saying something. He had lost both legs, his right arm and his face was badly burned. 'Fortunately' for him he was found and dragged off by the very same terrorist cell who had rigged the house. He was brought back to their headquarters where he was subsequently experimented on by a crack team of scientists.
He came out of the process half a machine. His mind has been warped and he was deadset on the murder of the president and the destruction of the west. He became a villain, travelling to America for the sole purpose of wreaking havoc and destabilizing the country. Fortunately, his spree ended when a stray bullet pierced through his skull at an awkward angle and managed to sever the wire controlling his thoughts. He subsequently turned himself into the police and served a much shorter sentence after his claims of mind control were found to be true by a team of doctors and scientists.
He became a hero shortly after his release, and has been struggling to keep the AI within his head in check ever since it began attempting to take control again.
Equipment:

Roleplay: Fallout The Reconstruction War
Name:
Karl Rogers - One With The Wasteland
Appearance:
Karl stands at 5 foot 11 and has a fit build. His hair is fashioned into a sort of psuedo mohawk, with the sides shaved and a single line at the top left long. His most notable features are his tattoos.
Race:
Human
Age:
28
Skills:
Due to Karl's upbringing with his tribal family and his brotherhood of steel training, he has an amalgamation of the skills your average tribesman and BoS member has. For example, while he is proficient in the use of his spears and tomohawk, he is also proficient in the use of his shotgun. However, his real talent lies in his medical abilities. Combining the complex surgical methods of the BoS with the herbs and medicines of his tribe, Karl is able to create highly useful medicines that can surpass that of stimpaks if he has the right resources.
Gear:
Bio:
Karl was born as the bastard child of a high ranking Brotherhood of Steel member and a tribeswoman. While his parents were very much in love, they could not reveal their relationship to either of their factions and a fake father for, Karl was created. A recently deceased hunter would take the position, with everyone including Karl believing it to be true for much of his early life. He grew up with the intention of becoming the next potential leader of the tribe, and as a result he was taught practically everything the tribe knew rather than just focusing in one area. He excelled at his medicine making, and had the uncanny ability to spot herbs from practically miles away, explaining it as just a 'sense' he had whenever asked.
Things were going fine, up until raiders began attacking the tribe. They put up a good fight for quite a while, but eventually began running out of resources and men to attack the raiders with. They were forced to be taken under the protection of the Brotherhood of Steel, and subsequently the fake father myth that Karl's parents had thought up was dispelled. They revealed their secret relationship to the tribe and Karl was subsequently taken into Brotherhood of Steel training. Of course, the training was late on and he didn't get as much of the training as he would have if he had 'joined' the Brotherhood at an earlier date.
He left the Brotherhood's protection at the age of 19, to travel the wastes and get a taste of the world. He gained a reputation as a bounty hunter for his use of spears and melee weapons rather than assault rifles and pistols. He returned to his tribe at the age of 26, and had worked with the Brotherhood of Steel for about 2 years before signing up to help fight the enclave.

For example, while he is proficient in the use of his spears and tomohawk, he is also proficient in the use of his shotgun. However, his real talent lies in his medical abilities. Combining the complex surgical methods of the BoS with the herbs and medicines of his tribe, Karl is able to create highly useful medicines that can surpass that of stimpaks if he has the right resources.
Gear:
- Three spears carried on his back.
- One tomohawk, embroidered with various tales of triumph.
- One lever action shotgun.
- Various herbs and medicines, including stimpaks.
Bio:
Karl was born as the bastard child of a high ranking Brotherhood of Steel member and a tribeswoman. While his parents were very much in love, they could not reveal their relationship to either of their factions and a fake father for, Karl was created. A recently deceased hunter would take the position, with everyone including Karl believing it to be true for much of his early life. He grew up with the intention of becoming the next potential leader of the tribe, and as a result he was taught practically everything the tribe knew rather than just focusing in one area. He excelled at his medicine making, and had the uncanny ability to spot herbs from practically miles away, explaining it as just a 'sense' he had whenever asked.
Things were going fine, up until raiders began attacking the tribe. They put up a good fight for quite a while, but eventually began running out of resources and men to attack the raiders with. They were forced to be taken under the protection of the Brotherhood of Steel, and subsequently the fake father myth that Karl's parents had thought up was dispelled. They revealed their secret relationship to the tribe and Karl was subsequently taken into Brotherhood of Steel training. Of course, the training was late on and he didn't get as much of the training as he would have if he had 'joined' the Brotherhood at an earlier date.
He left the Brotherhood's protection at the age of 19, to travel the wastes and get a taste of the world. He gained a reputation as a bounty hunter for his use of spears and melee weapons rather than assault rifles and pistols. He returned to his tribe at the age of 26, and had worked with the Brotherhood of Steel for about 2 years before signing up to help fight the enclave.

Roleplay: Of Monsters and Men
Full Name:
Bryan Hadley
Age:
20
Gender:
Male
Major:
English
Appearance:
Bryan stands at a comfortable 5 foot 10 and has a rather skinny physique. His hair is a strange shade of brown that could be considered a hue of red to some eyes. Speaking of eyes, his are brown matching with his hair. Bryan's skin tone is slightly pale, but not enough to be commented on really. He can often be seen wearing baggy clothes on his upper half, but skinnier clothes on his bottom, a testament to his laziness.
Behavior:
Bryan's mother would say that his favourite hobby is procrastinating. While this is not entirely true he does do it for most things other than things he's interested in. To call him lazy would be an insult to the truth, he's perfectly fine going about doing his business and can be downright industrious when the situation asks for it.
Overall, Bryan is rather laid back, and it's quite hard to get him excited or worried. However, don't take his easy-going attitude for the personality of a stoic man. He will often show happiness or sadness when the situation calls for it, it's just harder to get him to go to the extremes of these two emotions.
Bryan had quite a traditional upbringing, and his view of women matches this. Of course, he does not bear the stigma of women being weaker or worse in any way than men, but he dislikes seeing women in skimpy clothing and can often be seen getting embarrassed around those who dress this way. In fact, one of the sure fire ways to get him to blush is to even talk to him in any skimpy outfits, to which he will promptly try to hide his face as quickly as possible to avoid further embarrassment. However, with this downside comes a downright courageous side to his personality.
A Bit About Yourself:
Bryan was born in Corner Brook, Canada. While most of his life has been normal so far, the one thing that differs from this normality was his early life. His father, who worked on oil rigs, died while at sea and his mother died during childbirth. But fear not, dear reader, this is not the tale of a cockney orphan having to fight through hardships, but quite the opposite. Almost immediately his aunt and uncle took on the 'burden' of Bryan. Neither his aunt or uncle could have children and had been considering adoption for a while so Bryan's recent orphanage was practically a sign from god.
However, there was one thing that made Bryan stick out from his new parents. They were not officially connected by blood, and his uncle had been adopted as his blood fathers brother. This may not sound like it would make him stick out, but it makes more sense when you realize that his auntie and uncle were both black. This fact did not occur to the absent minded, Bryan until his early teenage years, and even then it didn't bother him in the slightest.
His new parents were very religious, and gave Bryan a rather traditional and sheltered upbringing. Be assured though, this upbringing was still filled with an abnormal amount of love and Bryan never felt at a disadvantage for his sheltered upbringing. His childhood was filled with his father singing and dancing to old Motown records and teaching Bryan how to play guitar, while his mother filled the role of cooking and bass guitar teacher.
His family made the decision to move to America during Bryan's early teens and as a result of the move, Bryan was exposed to a lot more of the outside world than he was in Canada. He also came out of his shell in a huge way, and discovered a passion for reading and writing things other than bible passages. High school life was normal for, Bryan. He never really fell into any clique and generally just interacted with anyone he happened to be around.
After finishing high school, he was at a loss for what to do with his life. He ended up getting a job at a local grocery store for a few years while just generally drifting about in life. Finally his mother took control though, and threatened to chuck him out of the house unless he went to college and made something of his life. He decided upon English and enrolled at Hallesdale.

Roleplay: Uncanny Teen Titans
Name:
Celeste
Alias:
Meteor
Age:
18
Appearance:
Celeste stands at a short 5 foot 6 and has a skinny physique that betrays her true strength. Her skin isn't really tanned or pale, just somewhere in the middle. Her most notable features lie above her neck though, with her hair being at the top of the notable list. Her hair is long, and stretches down to about her waste. It's colour could be described as purple, though that wouldn't portray the majesty of it very well. The colour changes hue from neon pink, to deep purple every time you turn away from her. While at first glance, most of her hair would be purple, with only shades of dark pink here and there, at second glance this could change into being almost entirely pink with only small hues of purple here or there. While this may sound gaudy and unappealing, the iridescent nature of her hair is actually rather beautiful.
Sticking out from her hair are two small horns, a staple of her former race and a reminder that she is far from human. Her eyes match her hair in the nature of their colour. While most of them are an aqua blue, the bottom half of both of them fades into a sort of light green. Along with this, further adding to the alien look are here ears, which give off a sort of elf-like touch to her.
Gender:
Female
Powers/equipment:
Celeste's main power is her sheer strength and durability. She is far stronger than any human, and even then most superhumans. Along with this, she can withstand the full force of a train hitting her head on and only sustain a broken arm or so. Her healing factor is increased, but not overtly so, she could heal a broken limb in about a week or so. She is also able to fly, albeit at only a minor speed faster than her running pace. Her durability factors into her lungs, and she is able to fly through space without fear of death.
Weakness:
Enough damage can kill her just like anyone else. Along with this, her naivety and lack of knowledge about earth can be her downfall, as any villain who convinces her that they are a good guy can put a deathly turn on the situation. Quicksilver also severely weakens her, and can even kill her in large enough quantities.
Personality:
If you had to describe Celeste in two words they would be 'Overtly optimistic'. Celeste refuses to see the bad in a situation, whether this be due to her naivety or something else altogether is unknown, but she never lets anything get her down. Kind and thoughtful, Celeste will often pick up on a minor thing a person has said and try to find out as much about it in order to become better friends with the person.
However, there is a downside to this overtly happy personality. She is rather bold and outgoing in what she says, and can often offend with her blatant observations. Along with this, she knows very little about earth and this lack of knowledge has been a great nuisance for her.
History:
Celeste was born on a planet far out of the milky way. It was a planet mainly filled with various faunas and forests, hardly even breaking past the pre-historic stage of its cycle. Nevertheless, do not think it's inhabitants to be cavemen, they were just as adept and smart as the modern human being, but their culture was centred extremely around tribes and whatnot.
Celeste spent a lot of her youth hunting and exploring with her siblings, tracking various birds of prey and carnivores before fighting and killing the animals to bring home for dinner that night. Everything seemed to be going well in her life, that is, until the Empire of Jahanos attacked. The Empire of Jahanos was an extremely advanced army of aliens, dedicated to mining out planets for their resources whether the inhabitants liked it or not.
This lead to the tribes forming together into one massive army, and managing to hold off Jahanos for a few weeks or so, before they began pulling out the big guns. They slaughtered entire towns without mercy, and began starving out the ones that caused the most trouble. Soon enough bombings began occurring and the tribes began having less and less chance of winning this fight.
Celeste would never discover who won the war, as she was kidnapped before it had even properly gotten into full swing. She was to be used as a bargaining chip, but fate saw other plans for her. She broke out of her jail cell using her incredible strength and managed to make it to an escape pod on the ship she was being held on. She pressed just about every button in the pod before it put her into deep sleep and sent her shooting off into space.
She slept in that vessel for 4 months or so, tumbling and spinning through space until she finally reached her stop. Earth's moon. She exited the vessel fully rested and ready to get revenge on Jahanos. Unfortunately, that revenge would have to wait. She explored the moon, finding nothing but a few rocks and craters. She leapt into the air, only to discover her ability of flight, and managed to make her way to earth before subsequently getting lost once more.
She found her way into society and adapted as well as she could. She managed to get a small job, an apartment and became inspired by heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman to start doing it herself. A few months later and there she was, joining the Teen Titans.

Roleplay: Academy of Heroes
Civilian name:
William 'Will' Winter
Gender:
Male
Age:
18
Hero or villain:
Hero
Civilian looks:
William stands at a tall 6 foot 3 and has a fit physique with only light muscle that betrays his true strength when channelling the sun. His skin is neither pale nor is it tanned, which brings out his piercing blue eyes somewhat. His hair is black and curly, albeit covered by a cap at most times.
Costume:
William's 'costume' is rather casual. He will often not change the lower half of his clothing, and the top consists of his grandfathers old costume. This is essentially a green sailor's uniform straight from World War 2. It comes complete with a striped cap, another homage to his grandfather.
Powers:
William has, but two notable powers, his control of sunlight and his very slight control of water.
William's control of sunlight isn't in the conventional way that you'd think it to be. He does not fully know how to control or use it and as a result can only channel it through his body.
His control of water ties into this control of sunlight, and he uses it in a variety of ways, most involving bubbles. He mostly always uses bubbles for the sole reason that they are easier to make than say a stream of water or a wave. All he needs is the condensation from the air and a small amount of sunlight and boom, he has what is essentially either a battering ram or a bomb depending on how much sunlight he puts into it.
He is also able to spin the bubbles at increasingly high speed, giving them the ability to cut objects or people if he so chooses to do so. Along with this, he can use the bubbles as a sort of lens for sunlight. In the same way that a magnifying glass will concentrate the heat of the sun into a burning effect, his bubbles would do the same. He could also theoretically connect up the bubbles in a sort of domino effect to further concentrate the sunlight.
William can also use the sunlight itself to buff his own powers. While channelling sunlight William's strength, speed and durability are increased exponentially, to the point of being comparable to that of some superheroes. He is also able to nullify small amounts of pain because of this buff, for example, he could relax and dislocate his arm in order to send a far reaching punch towards his enemies.
A limitation of William's sun based powers is his breathing. He must maintain a constant flow of breathing in a pattern taught to him as a child. Any variation to this pattern for an extended period of time will result in his powers deactivating and leaving him to fend off attackers with his water based powers.
Weakness wise, William is essentially only human without his sunlight. Even with the enhanced durability, a punch from a super strong person will still hurt like hell and may stagger or even send William flying depending on how strong the person is.
Skills:
William is a skilled boxer and was considering attempting to become professional before he became a hero. Along with this, he is quite skilled in out-doorsy things like gutting fish and starting fires as a result of his time camping with his father in his youth. He also learned to sew at a young age, in order to help his sister with her dress making and whatnot.
Personality:
Optimistic and kind, William is not the type to get mad very easily. In fact, he is about as patient as it gets and annoying him takes more than what you'd expect, just ask his sister who has tried on numerous occasions to get a reaction out of him that wasn't ambivalence or laughter.
If there was a word above loyalty it would be used to describe him. He is loyal to his family, friends and especially his morals. He's the type of guy who'd put his life on the line to save a stranger.
There is one thing that is sure to immediately anger him though. Insulting or doing anything harmful to his sister. His anger is far different from most people's though, it more stoic and serious than it is rage filled and emotional. Rather than sprinting over in a rage filled flurry of punches and kicks, William is a lot more deliberate with his movements. Instead walking slowly and calculating every possible thing he could do in the situation.
Civilian name:
Charlotte 'Charly' Winter
Gender:
Female
Age:
17
Hero or villain:
Hero
Civilian looks:
Charly stands at 5 foot 8 and has a slim physique. Her skin is rather pale, and matches well with her pale blonde hair and her hazel eyes. Her hair is tied into several ponytails with spherical hair clips.
Powers:
Charly possesses the power of life manipulation and creation. Don't worry it's not nearly as overpowered as it sounds. The most use of this object comes from Charly's ability to turn inorganic objects into organic ones. Namely small animals and plants. For example, she could turn a pen into a garden snake or a gun into a frog. If someone were to attack one of these small animals, the amount of damage they would have inflicted onto the animal would be inflicted back onto them. Along with this, she can heal small wounds such as cuts and gashes if she so pleases.
She is also able to speed up the ageing of various things based on their consciousness, sapience and sentience. For example, she is nowhere near powerful enough to age a human past a few seconds. And even then, doing that would wear her out to the point of needing immediate rest. The thing she finds easiest to speed the ageing of are plants and trees. She can make a tree go from the prime of its life to death within a matter of seconds. For this reason, she often carries seeds and whatnot around with her.
While it would take her a great amount of effort to age a human fully, she is able to damage any humanoid with something she calls the 'Life-Shot'. Essentially she channels a great deal of life into the tip of her finger and fires it at her opponent. Wherever it lands ages rapidly before de-aging back to its original state and causing an amount of damage that differs depending on where it hits. For example, if she hit someone in the heart or the head it would do much more damage than it would to a person's arm. This could also potentially be used to blind people if she is accurate enough.
Charly's main weakness is her humanity. Other than her life based powers she is just a human, and will die to anything a regular human will die to. Along with this, her Life-Shot slowly drains her of energy to the point where she could be put into a coma if she uses it too much.
Skills:
Charly possesses very few attack based skills other than her skill with a bow and her accuracy as a result of this. She is quite a good rider of horses and is good at sewing and making clothing and whatnot, but other than that she has very few skills that could help her out in the field.
Personality:
Charly is a timid, if a bit inquisitive young woman. She is quite kind to strangers, and would risk life and limb for her family, but earning her friendship is a bit more difficult than you'd expect. She is rather untrustful of most people and will often turn to her brother for his opinion on the person before she becomes proper friends with them.
Bio:
The Winter siblings were born on an ironically sunny summer day in Hamburg, Germany. Their father, a butcher, was the son of a retired superhero by the name of 'Befreier' or 'Liberator'. The story behind their grandfather was that he fought during World War 2. Of course, being German he fought on the Axis' side of the war, until he developed his power. His power was rather unconventional in the fact that it was two large wings that sprouted from his back. He defected to the British side of the front after saving a paratrooper whose parachute had failed to deploy.
Funnily enough, he was placed in the British navy, but for good reason. He would be ordered to fly onto Axis ships before lifting or killing as many soldiers as he could on the boat. He gained the nickname 'The Angel of Death', a name that stuck with him throughout his heroing life.
He met a British girl and they married rather soon after meeting. After the war had ended, they moved back to Germany, where he gained a reputation as a superhero. He retired a few decades later, after his son was born. His son, a non meta-human, aspired to be a big hollywood writer, but ended up becoming a butcher before marrying a girl from his hometown of Hamburg who later gave birth to both William and Charly.
William, born in June, grew up knowing a life of action and adventure. As a young boy, his grandfather would often take him out camping to teach him various skills needed to survive in the wild. At the same time, his father enrolled him in boxing lessons, where he excelled to the point of almost becoming professional before he joined the hero academy.
Charley, born in July had a far different life than William during this period. She spent most of her time learning from her mother and grandmother. She loved arts and crafts and her grandmother was a great teacher of sewing and clothes making.
Their powers both developed at around the same time, and their grandfather was great at helping them control their powers, especially with all of his superhero connections. Things got a lot easier when they were informed about River City Academy around the time when William was 15 and Charly was 14. They have attended the academy since then.
Civilian name:
Dominik Żuraw
Alias:
Pozakrajowy or Poza for short
Gender:
Male
Age:
18
Hero or villain:
Villain - Although more walking the line than anything really
(Pictured with his little sister)
Dominik stands at 5 foot 10 and has a thin physique. His eyes are a piercing blue, contrasting with the paleness of his skin. His hair is a dark black and is kept at a messy medium length. He always wears a necklace, holding a locket with a picture of his sister in it.
Dominik's 'costume' is actually more of a transformation than anything. The clothes he is wearing at the time stay on him, but his body drastically changes. His skin and hair changes to an azure blue. His fingers grow into claws more or less and retractable 'blades' appear within his forearms.
Powers:
When transformed, Dominik changes from a regular human boy into a super strong, super fast and super durable alien-like figure. His most noticeable power are the two large blades that sprout from his arms whilst transforming. Along with this, Dominik is able to secret corrosive enzymes from the palms of his hands, enough to melt metal. He is able to transform at will, but in times of high stress or anger he will transform against his will. He is also able to store, and release electrical energy in the form of a sort of barrier around his body for a few seconds. Note, he cannot generate his own electricity and storing it is painful to him, albeit to a much lesser degree than it is to a regular person.
Weakness wise, Dominik is completely human when not transformed, and will die to anything a regular human will die to. His main weakness while transformed is alcohol. Anything containing alcohol will burn his skin to the same effect as dry ice on a human. He is also very hard to get back into his human form after transforming if his necklace is taken away.
Skill:
Personality:
Dominik is what you'd call an anti-hero forced to be a villain. Because of his denial to River City Academy, and subsequent acceptance at Blackwood School, he in turn became more evil than he really ever wished himself to be. He still displays moments of heroics and generally feels sick to his stomach about doing 'evil' things, but forces himself to in order to keep his transformed side in check. When transformed, Dominik turns into a very different person. A red mist descends upon him and he only sees things as allies and enemies, making him a lethal opponent especially since his time at Blackwood School has done nothing to control this side and has instead only aggravated it.
The one thing that keeps him from turning constantly and becoming some sort of serial killing monster is his younger sister. She is still under the belief that he is actually at the hero academy, and Dominik uses this knowledge to calm himself when transformed.
Bio:
Dominik's life is one of torment and mystery. He was originally born in Warsaw, Poland and lived there until he was about 5. This was when he was kidnapped. His father, a compulsive gambler, got in debt to the wrong people. Namely, a shadow corporation who worked as both a pharmaceutical company and a shady experimental company. They would carry out experiments on live humans for the highest bidder, kidnapping and taking people whenever they wanted.
Dominik wasn't so much as taken as he was sold. His father had the choice between slowly sliding into poverty before dying a gruesome death at the hands of the corporation, or donating his son to their cause and having the debt wiped clean. You see, Dominik was special from birth in the sense that he has the rare blood type AB, one able to receive blood from any other blood type.
He was taken to a facility, and was experimented on using space-based chemicals picked up by rovers and satellites and found in meteorites. For years it did nothing but cause detriment to his health. It was lucky that he survived as long as he did, otherwise he would have never met his 'sister'. His sister was a girl of just 4 years old, stolen from her family and forced to be experimented on. He was just 11 when he met her, but he let his brotherly instincts wash over him and they soon became inseparable.
Unfortunately, the experiments began seeing results. Dominik would wake up screaming in the night, his form changed to that of some sort of demon. Soon enough, the demon became something he could turn on and turn off at will, with the help of his sister. He devised an escape plan and managed to break their way out of the facility using his new found powers.
They travelled the world after that, until they were about 14 when Dominik discovered River City Academy. He begged to be let in, but his power was just too uncontrollable and they were forced to turn him down. He was forced to turn to Blackwood School, who payed the fee to put his sister into foster care while he was tutored at the school.
Civilian name:
William 'Will' Winter
Gender:
Male
Age:
18
Hero or villain:
Hero
Civilian looks:
William stands at a tall 6 foot 3 and has a fit physique with only light muscle that betrays his true strength when channelling the sun. His skin is neither pale nor is it tanned, which brings out his piercing blue eyes somewhat. His hair is black and curly, albeit covered by a cap at most times.
Costume:
William's 'costume' is rather casual. He will often not change the lower half of his clothing, and the top consists of his grandfathers old costume. This is essentially a green sailor's uniform straight from World War 2. It comes complete with a striped cap, another homage to his grandfather.
Powers:
William has, but two notable powers, his control of sunlight and his very slight control of water.
William's control of sunlight isn't in the conventional way that you'd think it to be. He does not fully know how to control or use it and as a result can only channel it through his body.
His control of water ties into this control of sunlight, and he uses it in a variety of ways, most involving bubbles. He mostly always uses bubbles for the sole reason that they are easier to make than say a stream of water or a wave. All he needs is the condensation from the air and a small amount of sunlight and boom, he has what is essentially either a battering ram or a bomb depending on how much sunlight he puts into it.
He is also able to spin the bubbles at increasingly high speed, giving them the ability to cut objects or people if he so chooses to do so. Along with this, he can use the bubbles as a sort of lens for sunlight. In the same way that a magnifying glass will concentrate the heat of the sun into a burning effect, his bubbles would do the same. He could also theoretically connect up the bubbles in a sort of domino effect to further concentrate the sunlight.
William can also use the sunlight itself to buff his own powers. While channelling sunlight William's strength, speed and durability are increased exponentially, to the point of being comparable to that of some superheroes. He is also able to nullify small amounts of pain because of this buff, for example, he could relax and dislocate his arm in order to send a far reaching punch towards his enemies.
A limitation of William's sun based powers is his breathing. He must maintain a constant flow of breathing in a pattern taught to him as a child. Any variation to this pattern for an extended period of time will result in his powers deactivating and leaving him to fend off attackers with his water based powers.
Weakness wise, William is essentially only human without his sunlight. Even with the enhanced durability, a punch from a super strong person will still hurt like hell and may stagger or even send William flying depending on how strong the person is.
Skills:
William is a skilled boxer and was considering attempting to become professional before he became a hero. Along with this, he is quite skilled in out-doorsy things like gutting fish and starting fires as a result of his time camping with his father in his youth. He also learned to sew at a young age, in order to help his sister with her dress making and whatnot.
Personality:
Optimistic and kind, William is not the type to get mad very easily. In fact, he is about as patient as it gets and annoying him takes more than what you'd expect, just ask his sister who has tried on numerous occasions to get a reaction out of him that wasn't ambivalence or laughter.
If there was a word above loyalty it would be used to describe him. He is loyal to his family, friends and especially his morals. He's the type of guy who'd put his life on the line to save a stranger.
There is one thing that is sure to immediately anger him though. Insulting or doing anything harmful to his sister. His anger is far different from most people's though, it more stoic and serious than it is rage filled and emotional. Rather than sprinting over in a rage filled flurry of punches and kicks, William is a lot more deliberate with his movements. Instead walking slowly and calculating every possible thing he could do in the situation.
Civilian name:
Charlotte 'Charly' Winter
Gender:
Female
Age:
17
Hero or villain:
Hero
Civilian looks:
Charly stands at 5 foot 8 and has a slim physique. Her skin is rather pale, and matches well with her pale blonde hair and her hazel eyes. Her hair is tied into several ponytails with spherical hair clips.
Powers:
Charly possesses the power of life manipulation and creation. Don't worry it's not nearly as overpowered as it sounds. The most use of this object comes from Charly's ability to turn inorganic objects into organic ones. Namely small animals and plants. For example, she could turn a pen into a garden snake or a gun into a frog. If someone were to attack one of these small animals, the amount of damage they would have inflicted onto the animal would be inflicted back onto them. Along with this, she can heal small wounds such as cuts and gashes if she so pleases.
She is also able to speed up the ageing of various things based on their consciousness, sapience and sentience. For example, she is nowhere near powerful enough to age a human past a few seconds. And even then, doing that would wear her out to the point of needing immediate rest. The thing she finds easiest to speed the ageing of are plants and trees. She can make a tree go from the prime of its life to death within a matter of seconds. For this reason, she often carries seeds and whatnot around with her.
While it would take her a great amount of effort to age a human fully, she is able to damage any humanoid with something she calls the 'Life-Shot'. Essentially she channels a great deal of life into the tip of her finger and fires it at her opponent. Wherever it lands ages rapidly before de-aging back to its original state and causing an amount of damage that differs depending on where it hits. For example, if she hit someone in the heart or the head it would do much more damage than it would to a person's arm. This could also potentially be used to blind people if she is accurate enough.
Charly's main weakness is her humanity. Other than her life based powers she is just a human, and will die to anything a regular human will die to. Along with this, her Life-Shot slowly drains her of energy to the point where she could be put into a coma if she uses it too much.
Skills:
Charly possesses very few attack based skills other than her skill with a bow and her accuracy as a result of this. She is quite a good rider of horses and is good at sewing and making clothing and whatnot, but other than that she has very few skills that could help her out in the field.
Personality:
Charly is a timid, if a bit inquisitive young woman. She is quite kind to strangers, and would risk life and limb for her family, but earning her friendship is a bit more difficult than you'd expect. She is rather untrustful of most people and will often turn to her brother for his opinion on the person before she becomes proper friends with them.
Bio:
The Winter siblings were born on an ironically sunny summer day in Hamburg, Germany. Their father, a butcher, was the son of a retired superhero by the name of 'Befreier' or 'Liberator'. The story behind their grandfather was that he fought during World War 2. Of course, being German he fought on the Axis' side of the war, until he developed his power. His power was rather unconventional in the fact that it was two large wings that sprouted from his back. He defected to the British side of the front after saving a paratrooper whose parachute had failed to deploy.
Funnily enough, he was placed in the British navy, but for good reason. He would be ordered to fly onto Axis ships before lifting or killing as many soldiers as he could on the boat. He gained the nickname 'The Angel of Death', a name that stuck with him throughout his heroing life.
He met a British girl and they married rather soon after meeting. After the war had ended, they moved back to Germany, where he gained a reputation as a superhero. He retired a few decades later, after his son was born. His son, a non meta-human, aspired to be a big hollywood writer, but ended up becoming a butcher before marrying a girl from his hometown of Hamburg who later gave birth to both William and Charly.
William, born in June, grew up knowing a life of action and adventure. As a young boy, his grandfather would often take him out camping to teach him various skills needed to survive in the wild. At the same time, his father enrolled him in boxing lessons, where he excelled to the point of almost becoming professional before he joined the hero academy.
Charley, born in July had a far different life than William during this period. She spent most of her time learning from her mother and grandmother. She loved arts and crafts and her grandmother was a great teacher of sewing and clothes making.
Their powers both developed at around the same time, and their grandfather was great at helping them control their powers, especially with all of his superhero connections. Things got a lot easier when they were informed about River City Academy around the time when William was 15 and Charly was 14. They have attended the academy since then.
Civilian name:
Dominik Żuraw
Alias:
Pozakrajowy or Poza for short
Gender:
Male
Age:
18
Hero or villain:
Villain - Although more walking the line than anything really
(Pictured with his little sister)
Dominik stands at 5 foot 10 and has a thin physique. His eyes are a piercing blue, contrasting with the paleness of his skin. His hair is a dark black and is kept at a messy medium length. He always wears a necklace, holding a locket with a picture of his sister in it.
Dominik's 'costume' is actually more of a transformation than anything. The clothes he is wearing at the time stay on him, but his body drastically changes. His skin and hair changes to an azure blue. His fingers grow into claws more or less and retractable 'blades' appear within his forearms.
Powers:
When transformed, Dominik changes from a regular human boy into a super strong, super fast and super durable alien-like figure. His most noticeable power are the two large blades that sprout from his arms whilst transforming. Along with this, Dominik is able to secret corrosive enzymes from the palms of his hands, enough to melt metal. He is able to transform at will, but in times of high stress or anger he will transform against his will. He is also able to store, and release electrical energy in the form of a sort of barrier around his body for a few seconds. Note, he cannot generate his own electricity and storing it is painful to him, albeit to a much lesser degree than it is to a regular person.
Weakness wise, Dominik is completely human when not transformed, and will die to anything a regular human will die to. His main weakness while transformed is alcohol. Anything containing alcohol will burn his skin to the same effect as dry ice on a human. He is also very hard to get back into his human form after transforming if his necklace is taken away.
Skill:
- While transformed, Dominik is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant
- Amateur mechanic
- Pretty good at darts
Personality:
Dominik is what you'd call an anti-hero forced to be a villain. Because of his denial to River City Academy, and subsequent acceptance at Blackwood School, he in turn became more evil than he really ever wished himself to be. He still displays moments of heroics and generally feels sick to his stomach about doing 'evil' things, but forces himself to in order to keep his transformed side in check. When transformed, Dominik turns into a very different person. A red mist descends upon him and he only sees things as allies and enemies, making him a lethal opponent especially since his time at Blackwood School has done nothing to control this side and has instead only aggravated it.
The one thing that keeps him from turning constantly and becoming some sort of serial killing monster is his younger sister. She is still under the belief that he is actually at the hero academy, and Dominik uses this knowledge to calm himself when transformed.
Bio:
Dominik's life is one of torment and mystery. He was originally born in Warsaw, Poland and lived there until he was about 5. This was when he was kidnapped. His father, a compulsive gambler, got in debt to the wrong people. Namely, a shadow corporation who worked as both a pharmaceutical company and a shady experimental company. They would carry out experiments on live humans for the highest bidder, kidnapping and taking people whenever they wanted.
Dominik wasn't so much as taken as he was sold. His father had the choice between slowly sliding into poverty before dying a gruesome death at the hands of the corporation, or donating his son to their cause and having the debt wiped clean. You see, Dominik was special from birth in the sense that he has the rare blood type AB, one able to receive blood from any other blood type.
He was taken to a facility, and was experimented on using space-based chemicals picked up by rovers and satellites and found in meteorites. For years it did nothing but cause detriment to his health. It was lucky that he survived as long as he did, otherwise he would have never met his 'sister'. His sister was a girl of just 4 years old, stolen from her family and forced to be experimented on. He was just 11 when he met her, but he let his brotherly instincts wash over him and they soon became inseparable.
Unfortunately, the experiments began seeing results. Dominik would wake up screaming in the night, his form changed to that of some sort of demon. Soon enough, the demon became something he could turn on and turn off at will, with the help of his sister. He devised an escape plan and managed to break their way out of the facility using his new found powers.
They travelled the world after that, until they were about 14 when Dominik discovered River City Academy. He begged to be let in, but his power was just too uncontrollable and they were forced to turn him down. He was forced to turn to Blackwood School, who payed the fee to put his sister into foster care while he was tutored at the school.

Roleplay: Titans of Gotham
Secret ID: Maddalena 'Maddie' Soldati
Alias: Reflection
Age: 19
Home Location: Florence, Italy
Powers:
Maddie has but one power. To travel through and allow things to travel through reflections. She can travel through anything that reflects and come out of any other thing that reflects. For example, she could go through a window and come out of someone's eye. Of course, if she were to do this shrinking would be in effect, and she would regrow as soon as she was a safe distance from the person. She can also allow things to travel through reflections, a power very handy in conjunction with her power gloves.
Weaknesses:
Other than her power, Maddie is completely human and anything that would kill a normal human will kill her.
Equipment:
Maddie's main piece of equipment are her power gloves. They are a pair of gloves stolen from a former super villain that buff her strength and are able to fire beams from the knuckles and palm of said gloves. Along with this, she carries her knife in her boot at all times but refuses to wear any sort of super suit, thinking that they look stupid.
Appearance:
Maddie stands at 5 foot 7 and has a fit physique. Her hair which reaches down past her shoulders is long, curly and black. Her skin is very slightly tanned, a result of her place of birth. Her eyes are a rather bland brown, matching the colour of her signature bandanna.
Personality:
If there was one word to describe Maddie it would be loyal. If she believes you to be a friend, then she wouldn't betray you for the world. This can often lead to her downfall, and betrayals just leave her furious, but she sticks to her loyalty in almost every situation.
She is rather blunt in her mannerisms. If she sees something that seems strange or off to her she'll most likely mention it. And put it this way, she has fallen out with many friends after they've asked her whether or not they looked fat in a dress. She displays an aura of dispassion when it comes to her appearance, shrugging it off as if it doesn't matter. However, inside she is actually rather self conscious about what people think of her appearance, and an insult towards it would make her feel depressed to all heck.

BRIEF Bio:
Maddie was born in Florence, Italy to a former thief father and a mother who worked as a butcher. Suffice to say, she had a far from normal early life. She was brought up more like a boy than anything else, when other girls were playing with barbies, Maddie was being taught how to do keepie uppies. Her life was never boring, when she wasn't learning how to pick locks with her father, she was learning how to gut a pig by her mother.
Things changed drastically when she entered school though. Other girls began commenting on her looks, which created a deep seated fear of what other people think in relation to this. Of course, as time went on and her looks began coming on these comments gradually disappeared, especially after she learned how to box.
Her powers manifested at age 16, during her rebellious phase. She began using her powers for more nefarious purposes. She combined her power with her thieving skills and began stealing from whomever she pleased, although she made a note to never steal from those who needed it or who had children. Her biggest, and final heist was on a former super villain. He specialized in technology, and built an entire suit capable of flight, laser blasts and even super strength if you'd believe that.
Of course, Maddie couldn't take the entire suit and had to settle for the gloves before making a quick escape. Her newfound powers combined with the gloves inspired her to do something she'd never thought of doing. She became a superhero. She began cleaning up the streets of Florence, and gained a reputation for her young age and lack of costume.
Eventually she was contacted by an Italian representative of Batman Incorporated about joining something called 'The Teen Titans'. She graciously accepted of course.
Notes:
-Her idol is Zinedine Zidane
-Favourite food is pancakes

Roleplay: Power Corrupts
Name: Katherine "Kate" Staples
Appearance: Kate stands at a short 5 foot 3 and has a skinny physique. Her hair is a dark natural black and is kept short and very slightly unkempt, a stark contrast to her thin and fine eyebrows that lay just above her large dark brown eyes. Her skin is slightly pale, although she's adamant that it's "just genetics" if people mention it.
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Infection type: Empowered
Powers:
Superhuman Speed
Electricity Absorption and Redistribution
Personality: Kate is an apt and cunning young girl, able to use her environment to her advantage and think quickly on the spot. However, this has lead her into a few sticky situations as it has made her rather headstrong and arrogant to some extent. She can often come off as rather mean-spirited or rude to people on first meeting, but in truth she is just rather defensive and insecure, and uses this side of her personality as an output to make herself seem more confident. On the inside she is rather kind and is very loyal and defensive of her friends.
Bio:
Kate was born to a salary man father and a housewife mother. His father, a former convict had a great deal of impact upon Kate's life, but not in the way you'd expect a father to. He was a former convict, who was released when Kate was around 6. He was generally good for about a year, but thinks took a major turn for the worst when his old prison friends began to seep back into his life. He began to get more violent, and began abusing Kate's mother. She did her best to hide it from Kate, but things somehow got even more worse when her father began attempting to beat Kate herself. Her mother tried to stop this as best she could, but he was too strong and little Kate was left to fend for herself.
Eventually the abuse got too bad to handle, and Kate was sent to live with her grandparents. After a series of childish and often cryptic explanations of the abuse, her grandparents finally got the message and reported her father to the police. This did not end will, it sent him into a major fit of rage that resulted in the murder of Kate's mother. However, he was subsequently arrested, every cloud has a silver lining, as they say. Kate began living with her grandparents after that, and since looked upon them more as parents than she ever did her actual parents.
Even though her grandparents were both exceptional people, with her grandfather being a military veteran, her grandmother being a doctor and both being immigrants to a country that did not fully accept them at the time. Despite their achievements, they weren't really all that well-off money wise. A lot of the money they had saved up went towards holidays and their family during their early years of retirement. They now lived in a rather poor area, and kept a humble life. Kate was brought up under respectable values, but with little to do with her time she couldn't help getting in trouble.
Her early teen years were filled with petty crimes, stealing and breaking into houses just for the fun of it and the like. Not very heroic, but peer pressure is one hell of a thing. It was around this time that she got both of her powers. Her super speed was a result of a thievery gone wrong. The owners of the money she stole had awoken, and needless to say they weren't the usual fat slobs that Kate stole from. They chased her damn near a mile, and were gaining fast. This was when her power kicked in. Without even realizing it she began rapidly increasing in speed, until she began moving quicker than the cars that used to speed by next to her. It was all due to the 'fever' she had became ill from a week previous. It was, in fact, the very fever that gave people powers.
Her second power came as a shock to say the least, although it also came in a much less exciting event. She was out drinking with a few of her friends after a party on her 16th birthday, and low and behold she got her jacket caught on a fence after climbing it. Since none of her friends would help the birthday girl get her jacket back, she was forced to climb back up the fence and get it. Unbeknownst to her, this was an electric fence that was hooked up to a rather jittery old generator that only supplied enough energy to power it in intervals. As she neared the top of the fence it shocked her for a moment, but that quickly subsided as the energy coursed through her body and was sent back out through her elbow of all places.
It was only after seeing news of superheroes and villains on the news that the thought occurred to her that she could do the same. She bought a few pieces of equipment off of amazon, and has been doing the whole hero business for a small while now.
Equipment:
-Tonfa
-Phone

Johnny has known Grace since she joined the school, being designated as the person to give her a tour of the grounds. He has nicknamed her 'Pigeon' in the least mean way possible. Frankly her power weirds him out a little, he's gotten used to it over the years but the sight of her wings unfurling still gives him the heeby jeebies every now and then. He's a bit protective of her when bully's are around as he knows of her tendency to shy away from conflict.
≈ James Erikson ≈
"Apparently he likes books....that's all I got."
Johnny has talked to James all of two times. In this two times he's discovered two things about him, his name and the fact that he likes books. Suffice to say he doesn't really have an opinion on him.
≈ Lucian Asaunte ≈
"He's alright I s'pose, talks a lot."
Johnny doesn't know, Lucian all that well, but he has seen the cocky side to his personality and doesn't particularly like it. However, he has also experienced the personable ways of Lucian, which sort of counteracts the parts he dislikes. Suffice to say, at this time he's not really know what he thinks of, Lucian.
≈ Christie Rachel Marks ≈
"..."
They have yet to meet.
≈ Bryson Anderson ≈
"Guys a character, that's for sure."
Johnny's opinion on Bryson of course changes depending on if Orion or Corvus is dominant at the time. Of course, with Orion he likes, Bryson a lot more and would gladly have a conversation with him. However, when Corvus takes over he doesn't like him very much at all. Johnny detests pranks and mischief unless it has a reason, of course being the main reason for this dislike.

Jonathan "Johnny" Van Ronk
"A bullet in the head is worth two in the gut."
Codename:
Judicator
Age:
23
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Relationship Status:
Single
Species:
Mutant
History:
Johnny was born in Australia originally, but quickly moved to Louisana with his parents shortly after being born. His father was Australian and his mother America, granting him dual citizenship within these countries.
Much of his life up until he discovered his powers was filled with two closely related things. Shooting and cowboy movies. His father adored the greats such as John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, and would often watch the films with Johnny whenever they could. His mother, however, was more inclined in teaching him how to fire a gun, this mix of interests resulted in the cowboy-esque persona that Johnny bases his powers around.
When his powers manifested it was a disaster. He couldn't control his speed, he kept flying into walls after the first step and it was blindingly obvious that he was a mutant. His parents, being the progressives they were, did not look down on him for his mutations, and instead sought to help him control it.
Things were going well until a local anti-mutant rally swept through the town. Someone caught Johnny using his power to get home quicker, and what ensued was the worst night of Johnny's young life. His parents struggled to keep the angry mob from getting to Johnny, which resulted in their brutal murder at the hands of an unknown gunman.
Alone and afraid, Johnny ran as fast and as far as he could. He passed through many towns along his journey, before finally encountering another mutant in Washington. The mutant helped him get to Xavier, who honed his power and managed to help him grow into the man he is today.

Appearance:
Johnny stands at 5 foot 11 and has a fit, borderline muscular physique. His hair is kept partially long, but is styled so that it falls no lower than his neck. His moustache goatee combo is rather scruffy and matches the dark brown hue of his hair and eyes. He can often be seen wearing a leather jacket, and bears a double shoulder holster on missions.
Powers:
Johnny's power is speed. Everything he does he can do faster than anyone else. Running, punching, kicking, you name it and he can do it quickly. Furthermore this power extends to his reflexes, which have been enhanced to the point where he can draw and fire a revolver as accurate as he would if he was aiming a sniper rifle. Speaking of guns, these are a staple in his powerset, as he uses them almost always when fighting villains.
Personality:
Johnny's life has made him cold and bitter to an extent. He finds it hard to trust people and mostly assumes that anyone he meets will be out of his life sooner rather than later. Once you gain his trust however, you will begin to notice the kindness and warmth that he bears towards mostly everyone who doesn't intend to do him harm. He's really a big softie wearing the skin of a rough tough cowboy.
Likes:
- Cowboy films
- Steak
- Old Music
- 60s Fashion
- Motorbikes
Dislikes:
- Cocky people
- Injustice
- Vegans
- Lazy people
- Not having anything to do
It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - Bob Dylan
"You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks they really found you"

♦ Respects ~*~ ≈ Neutral ~*~ ♣ Friends ~*~ ♫ Best Friends~*~ § Tense ~*~ ♥ Crush ~*~ ♠ Significant Other ~*~ ∅ Enemies
♦ Francis Latour ♣
"Patient as a statue and as smart as the sculptor."
Johnny has known Francis for years. Since he joined the school in fact. Francis helped Johnny make a lot of friends when he was still going through his mute phase upon first joining. Furthermore, he is also one of the key people in the honing of Johnny's power, something which has made Johnny respect him all the more for. While not going so far as a father figure, Johnny does see Francis as an authority figure, and is one of the few people he'll follow the orders of.
♣ Sophie Blackthorn ♣
"She's got potential, gotta be extra nice to her so she doesn't singe my eyebrows off"
Johnny doesn't really know Sophie enough to base a huge amount of opinion on her. He's seen her powers in action, and acknowledges the raw strength and destructive power of it. Somewhere deep inside there's a part of him that's scared she'll turn to evil, but from what he knows of her he doubts she'd ever do that. He has had one or two conversations past small talk, mainly because of both of their tendency to distance themselves from groups.

OP
Mr_pink Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

6 yrs ago
Roleplay: Universal
Archetype: Atlantian
Name: R'olyt - Pronounced r-ohl-it - Adopted name Roland
Alias: Kraken
Age: 19
Powers:
Equipment:
Weaknesses:
Alignment: Hero
Personality: Honest, naive, cunning, eager, fun
Appearance:
Roland stands at a short 3 foot 7 and is rather skinny under all the baggy clothes he wears. His knowledge of clothing is limited to say the least, and he takes his style from the American ambassador who he met upon first surfacing. The man was old to say the least, and basically picked out a combination between things that were popular in the 80s and things that just work in any time period and gave them to Roland.
His clothes now consist of mostly loose fitting black shirts coupled with black trousers on top of blue high-top trainers. He also wears a keffiyeh like scarf around his head, as his appearance often gives a fright to those who haven't met him yet.
He doesn't really have a costume, it's obvious who he is from the get-go so hiding his identity seems pointless. He does, however, bring his scarf up to cover his mouth, so he can be confused with the numerous other fish people that are no doubt walking the surface world.
BRIEF Bio:
Roland, or R'olyt as he is formally known, was born in a place called The Dark Caves. The Dark Caves are a system of connected caves within the deepest point of the Mariana Trench. The Dark Caves are partially filled with water and partially dry, leading to evolution creating a race of fish people who went on to create an entire civilization within these caves. Tribes were formed and destroyed, armies came and went and finally the N'ilyt people as they became known were united under one monarchy.
This monarchy has lasted for centuries and is well respected within The Dark Caves. Roland is the son of king Ke't and queen Maedra. He was raised in lavish and luxury, being showered with gifts and high quality food. And for good reason, when he was of age he was to be the very first N'ilytian to visit the surface. The N'ilytians had visited before, although with much less fanfare and much more horror. Fortunately enough though, one strange American author met a N'ilytian and was inspired to write a book because of the experience.
Unfortunately, the expedition divided a great deal of N'ilytians. Many opposed the journey as they believe that humans would invade The Dark Caves, or were just plain racist. Nevertheless, the expedition went ahead, and at the young age of 18 Roland was sent up to the world, surfacing in North Carolina and meeting the American, British and Russian ambassadors who had rushed out to meet him.
They took their turns convincing him to make home in each of their countries, but Roland eventually decided on America, solely because one of the first things he did after surfacing was try pizza, something which he didn't and still doesn't know you can get just about anywhere.
He was roped into being a superhero after discovering that he had many abilities humans did not, and has been helping in whatever way he can ever since.
Storylines:
* Fighting some sort of political assassin group who want to destroy the monarchy of The Dark Caves
* Integrating with society - sort of just something as the plot goes along
Archetype: Atlantian
Name: R'olyt - Pronounced r-ohl-it - Adopted name Roland
Alias: Kraken
Age: 19
Powers:
- The Ability to dive and swim through soil, earth and natural rock. Roland is physically able to dive into these materials and swim through it as if it were water. This is enabled through his enchanted necklace.
- Slight water manipulation. Roland is able to turn solids into a water like substance and very slightly control water with his mind. The solids revert back to their natural state after Roland has stopped touching them. Also enabled by his enchanted necklace.
- Telepathy with sea animals
- Fish physiology. This is a broad term that includes a number of different abilities.
- Breathing underwater
- Seeing underwater and in extremely dark areas
- Swim exceedingly quickly
- Survive great pressure and cold
- Enhanced hearing
- Enhanced durability. Roland's durability is a bit finicky. Blunt objects and attacks do a lot more damage to him than precise sharp ones. For example, a bullet or a knife would only leave a scratch on him, but a bat to the face, while doing less than it would to a normal person, will still damage him quite a bit.
Equipment:
- Enchanted necklace - Bears his family sigil - Enables him to swim through soil, earth and natural rock and manipulate water.
- Dual daggers - Two curved daggers made from a stone hardened by pressure found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
Weaknesses:
- Blunt objects and attacks.
- He cannot swim through anything other than the materials listed.
- Naive - Still doesn't know a huge amount about the upper world, cars and guns still confuse him.
Alignment: Hero
