Havoc

Alias: Havoc
Real name: Jason Lynche
Age: 'Default' form appears 20. Actual age is legitimately unknown.
Gender: Male

Appearance: Jason's powers stems off of shifting his form into incredibly sharp and lethal weaponry of destruction, and shifting into different people and faces to disguise and easily blend into any sort of crowd. However, he has a 'default' form;; the form he appeared as before all of this went down. This is the form he is generally in when not disguising or shifting into a completely different person. Jason's default form is that of a young man, around 20 or so, with a rather pale complexion, although not to a completely pasty degree. His eyes are a deep, vivid crimson color - obviously a side-effect from his entire body being rearranged on a molecular level. His hair is a deep brownish-black, rather feathery and soft, and generally shaggy. It is usually hidden underneath a cap or a hood, or a combination of both. His physique could be seen as lean/athletic, but he is obviously not a muscle-bound brute or anything of the sort. It's usually hid behind layers of clothing, anyways. Speaking of clothing, Jason's clothing is generally a collared, heavy-duty black hoodie, lightly ripped at the knees jeans, and worn, black and white converse. The hoodie has crimson-red accents, and is generally unzipped/unbuttoned, revealing a dark-colored t-shirt underneath it. On the back of the heavy-duty hoodie, as a personal touch by Jason himself, there's the words 'Born Again', in Mandarin Chinese [Don't ask why], written in dark red lettering, going down the jacket.

Personality: Before being literally killed and sucked into Hell, Jason wasn't really a stand-up citizen. Rather lazy and sleazy, he was a backstabbing messenger that worked for different gangs, and learned how to cover his tracks. Sure, he was relatively clever, but that really was it. He was afraid of getting hurt, and had a 'run if someone tougher attacks' strategy that worked for the coward. However, after witnessing the death of the gang he had been working for - which didn't affect him much, if at all, honestly - and then being viciously executed and dragged into Hell, Jason began to...wisen up. He became more clever, learned how to be tough, hold his ground, etc.

He was further changed when the evil, mad Demon scientist, Skalios, got him and began putting him through torturous pain and experimentations, shifting his body and mind, forcibly making him absorb poor souls of the damned..the demon wanted a monster, he got one. Now, his own man, after killing Skalios and taking a trip straight outta Hell - via the Angel, Skeorksy, Jason is back on the streets, and much more of a man than he ever was - give or take a humanity or two. Cold, dangerous, and with his own personal goals in mind, Jason keeps a cool head and a focused gaze, but his impatience can sometimes shine through - he's actually pretty patient, all things considering. He is very vengeful, and although he isn't petty, at all, recognizing accident and fuck-ups for what they are, if you try to kill him, he's gonna kill you back.

Borderline sociopathic, Jason is separated from this term by one thing, and one thing only;; his quest for redemption, by basically wiping out whatever sort of low-life scum he comes across, as given to him by the angel guy in Limbo. Vulgar, and with a cynical, dark, and dry attitude, a razor-sharp brain, and a lethal imagery, Jason isn't really a guy you wanna cross paths with, if you're scum. He can actually seem relatively lazy at times, when he's just relaxing back, but he doesn't have much time for that since he came back. He's a rebellious kind of guy, and can disrupt and make authority figures' lives harder just to peeve them off. He isn't affected much by insults, and has a lot of ice in his veins. Don't get him wrong;; he's on the path to redemption...sorta. He won't put innocents' lives in danger, but a few extra casualities won't really turn his head. However, since he doesn't wanna be banished to Hell forever, he makes sure to focus his ire on the scum. As described by a corrupt cop, Jason is a..."Bastard! God damn cold-hearted punk broke my arm, threatened to eat me, and then fucking kicks my car into an alleyway! When I called for backup, he broke my phone, broke my one useful arm, and then threw me into my crashed car! Through the windshield! And then-!"

"Now now, Officer Espinoza, easy there. Take deep breaths. Now, tell me exactly why you were found, half-dead, outside of a burning, highly-known gang hideout...with cocaine in your pockets...and a note saying 'Arrest me. Fuck Tha Police!'?"

"W-well..."

History: To put it simply, Jason used to be a low-beat traitor. A backstabbing piece of shit that ran between two gangs, doing different dirty work and selling information to their enemies, he was a slimy guy, and deserved everything he got. When the cops raided the base whilst he was getting his pay from one of the gang members, he had his innards sprayed against the walls from automatic high-caliber rounds, and then bullets pierced his skull...yes...he died. His soul went down to heaven, and he was stuck in the demon-infested wasteland of fire and brimstone. As he ran through Hell, he was found by a mad scientist-like demon, named Skalios. Skalios saw him as a human plaything - something he could run some prototype tests on, and test out different theories involving demon skin, blood, power, and a few Hellish ores and elbow grease. Days...weeks...was it years? It all passed as Jason screamed his heart out. As Skalios was finishing up, deeming Jason a failure, Jason activated his powers unknowingly, and carved out the demon's heart. As he escaped the demon's lair, he was being watched over by an Angel, whom had sensed the unholy experimentations happening within Skalios' lair - he was in Hell for unknown reasons, and saw fit to help the confused and tortured human soul. After seeing the sins Jason committed in his past life, the Angel, Skeorsky, sent Jason back into Earth - Back into Grimmarch, if he did one thing for the Angel...rid the world of scum. Of crime. Of criminals. If he used his demon-given powers to take out the sinful, he would be able to live. Jason accepted. Obviously, there was a reason this 'Angel' was taking a vacation to Hell. Sent back to Earth, Jason began his quest.

Powers:

-Genetically Demonic Form: Whilst within Hell, when Skalios was fucking with his genes and turning him into some twisted monster, Jason's body was permanently changed. His muscles are superhumanly modified to degrees high above that of a human's. He is exponentially stronger, faster, more agile, more durable, and generally sharper than that of a human. Similarly, he regenerates at a speed deemed impossible to that of an average human, and his muscles do not release toxins, allowing him to expend stamina at an indefinite amount of time. This makes him an extremely dangerous opponent, to both humans, and superhumans.

-Shapeshifting: The main 'thing' Skalios added to Jason's genes was the ability to shapeshift - copy the DNA of any humanoid by absorbing them into his form, via chopping or smashing their bodies into smaller and softer pieces, so that his body's own DNA can shoot out of his body and gobble the other DNA up. It's not a very...pretty sight to witness. Regardless, by copying the DNA, he has the ability to shift into the form of the humanoid he has absorbed, including any clothing he has absorbed, as well. Clothing is much easier to absorb, as it is much less durable than a body. Absorbing also gifts him the ability to assimilate and organize the information within the other target's brains, which will be explained further within the Weakness section. He can seamlessly shift into different forms at will, and often uses it to infiltrate places where stealth is key, or if he needs information he can't get anywhere else. Similarly, and this is Jason's main form of combat, he can shift his body into weaponry of mass-destruction. This doesn't require absorption to complete - only, it is limited by his imagination, and however much DNA his body is willing to give out to form the weaponry. Due to using blood-cells and unknown materials that were put into his bloodstream during Skalios' fuckery, Jason's weaponry constructs he creates from his body, is a deep black color, and very spiky/sharp in appearance, with red veins moving through the weaponry, representing the veins within his body.

Weakness(es):

-Voices, man!: Jason...Jason has absorbed a lot of people since he escaped Skalios, okay? While their souls are not floating around in his body, he has their memories, their experiences, their hate...their anger...their love. You get what I'm putting out? While, due to his advanced, demon-enhanced brain, he can store away the different memories and emotions for when they're needed to look over, over time, things can get warped. He can get a bit...cracked. He starts hearing voices, only for it to be the lifetimes of memories he has stored away. Usually, he has this under strict lock and key...but if it were ever to be unleashed - all of it, he'd have a hard time dealing with it. He'd be in a flat-out comatose state. Telepathy and any mind-related powers is a double-edged sword for the user. While they can get in and really mess with stuff, they would also be hit with lifetimes of memories and pain. Not fun.

-Fire: Fire and Jason does not get along all that well. He can handle extreme heat due to his durability, but once flames get hot enough and manage to begin roasting his skin, that's where it gets bad. It eats through his regeneration like a mouse through cheese, and directly attacks his DNA - and he has a lot of absorbed DNA, so it's practically eating all of his energy and fervor.

Fun Facts:
-Jason enjoys old-school Rock and Roll, jazz, and rap.

-His favorite drink is Sprite - he can drink it all day.

-He actually felt like becoming a criminal again, but only once, and he discarded it immediately.

-He has nightmares every night. It's pretty entertaining to him, sometimes.

-Jason has come to terms with his...freakishness, and embraces it.

I am the danger

With great hair comes great responsibility.
Alias: Dangerman
Real name: Joseph "Joe" Cady
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Joe stands at 5 foot 10 and has a lightly muscular physique. His hair is a dark black and styled into a pompadour. He can often be seen wearing his letterman jacket, with the logo of the company he worked for on the chest. He wears his father's dog tags at just about all times and his eyes are brown.

Personality:
Joe is as cocky and arrogant as it gets. He is overtly confident in his own abilities and believes himself to be much better than he is. That is not to say he is the type to flaunt his abilities though, he knows when he's beat and will let other heroes handle a situation if he knows he can't. He likes to banter and tease people and seems invulnerable to any insult flung his way.

Short Biography:
Born the son of two Scottish abductees, Joe had a rather strange life to say the least. He grew up learning how to trade from his adoptive parents, and joined the army of the country he was born on at the age of 17. He left the army to become a delivery driver for a huge corporation. His life went by as usual until he fell asleep at the wheel one night and accidentally hit the warp drive on his ship in his slumber. The ship landed in the milky way and was crashing to Earth just as Joe woke up. He managed to get to safety, but the ship was totalled after it had landed. He was contacted by Overwatch Twelve who were under the pretense that he was an alien. Of course, Joe allowed them to think this in exchange for a free apartment and a weekly salary for being a 'superhero'.

Powers, Skills & Equipment:
While having no identifiable powers, Joe is sure that he has some sort of unknown power due to a "tingling sensation" in his nether regions. Unbeknownst to him, Joe is actually a technomancer, something that he would admit to being if he knew what the word meant. He also feels he has another undiscovered power, but has no clue whatsoever what it is.

He carries an array of weapons and equipment to help him do his hero duties. One piece of equipment he utilizes is his energy shield. It essentially protects his entire body from harm up to a point. It is able to stop bullets from harming Joe, but around 15 will break the shield and force it to reboot which can take any time from 10 seconds to 10 minutes. The shield also protects Joe from blunt force trauma to the point where he could take the same amount of hits as a regular superhuman with it on.

Along with this, Joe carries a modified pistol, capable of switching between lethal and non-lethal modes of attack.

Joe rides a modified motorbikecapable of guiding itself to Joe if need be.
Weakness:
Without his shield, Joe is as human as anyone. A single bullet could kill him without his shield. Along with this, he has no real offensive powers other than his tech and therefore must rely on his skill to succeed.

Biography

Joe Cady was born as the son of two Scottish farmers. They were abducted by aliens and supposedly experimented on before being dropped back on Earth. What really happened was that a group of rich teenagers got lost within the Milky Way and ended up passing over Earth. They picked up the farmers in the hopes that they could give them directions, but ended up just dropping them back where they picked them up even more lost than they were before. What they didn't realize was that their admittedly faulty and old teleporter had actually forced, Joe's mother to give birth without even knowing it. The teenagers had no idea what to do, and ended up handing him into an orphanage once they got back to their home planet.

Joe was unlike anything anyone on the planet had ever seen. While the planet was filled with vaguely humanoid reptiles, Joe was merely a rather short human who looked nothing like anyone on the planet. He lived in the orphanage for 6 years before being adopted by a blue skinned human-like couple who travelled the galaxy trading and whatnot. He learned the gift of the gab from them along with how to trade. He stayed with them until he was around 17, when he followed in his adoptive fathers footsteps and joined the military. He finished his draft four years later and returned to find his parents dead, killed by loan sharks. He took what precious things he could find that weren't stolen and left to find a new life.

He got a job at a huge corporation that was essentially the universes most well known and best delivery service. Being one of their drivers was no mean feat, and Joe had to work hard to convince him that his time within the military had sufficiently trained him enough to captain his own small ship. He was hired within the month and sent about his deliveries. He done a pretty good job for the 2 years he worked at the place, but things quickly turned south one day after Joe had been severely sleep deprived. He got most of his deliveries correct, and planned to just autopilot his way to the next location and get some light rest in the process. Things didn't go exactly as planned though, and he ended up changing course and hitting the warp drive in his sleep.

He woke up as his ship spiralled down towards earth, and managed to secure his safety within the cargo hold as it crash landed. He emerged from the wreckage to find he had 'landed' on a farm. A young boy excitedly ran out to see what the commotion was about and excitedly asked, Joe if he was a superhero. Thinking on his feet, Joe said he was making up the name 'Dangerman' from the 'D' symbol on his jacket. Joe was surprised to find other people of his race, something which he had never even expected to be real and the child's parents explained that he had landed on Earth and that superheroes were fairly commonplace on Earth.

Joe was soon picked up by Overwatch Twelve, who had noticed his crash and were quick on the scene. Joe added to his 'superhero' persona by using what was left of his cargo. Included was an energy shield, pistol and a 'killer' motorbike. The agents from Overwatch Twelve explained what they did and what Overwatch Twelve was. Seeing an opportunity for himself, Joe acted much more alien than he probably should have. Surprisingly, it convinced the agents who offered Joe a deal to act as an alien superhero in exchange for a salary and an apartment at a near city. Joe of course, accepted and began his heroing career.

Fun facts:
-Favourite song is 'Train in Vain' by The Clash.
-Favourite movie is 'Enter the Dragon'.
-Favourite colour is purple.
-The company he worked for was called 'Dynamo-corp'.

Lightning Rod

Alias: Lightning Rod
Real name: Matthew Forrester
Age: 22
Gender: Male

Appearance: Matthew was an average guy before the armour was bonded with him. Okay, maybe he's a bit shorter than average, standing at 5'7", his build wide and stocky. His hair is short and curly, almost shaved on the sides, and a dark brown. He sports a thick beard on his rounded chin, the hair course and even curlier than his head. His eyes are dark and slightly pinched, dark bags almost perpetually circling under his eyes. His arms and legs are short but thick, his skin tanned dark and his limbs muscled from working outside as a roofer. He often wears jeans and tank tops or t-shirts casually, preferring to dress comfortably than fashionably, which coincides conveniently with the unfortunate side effect of activating the armour attached to his spine.

Speaking of, the armour, in it's dormant form, runs from the base of Matthew's neck to his tail bone. The thick strip of metal sticks out about two inches from his back, forming a segmented ridge with a plateau about two inches wide, that then slopes down at a 45 degree angle downward to his back. Bright blue accents pulse lightly from the strip, running between the segments and up the edges. The accents run up the armour to collect at a circle of blue light at the base of the neck, which gives off a dull glow.

When activated, the armour explodes outward, wrapping itself around Matthew. Any clothes he's wearing at the time will be ripped to shreds as the segments of the armour seem to fold and unfold out from his spine, tight to his skin. Once completely unravelled, the armour forms a segmented shell over Matthew, reminiscent of chitin. Each segment appears to be made of a dark blue metal, and retains scratches and scorches from every battle Matthew has partaken in. Between each segment of the armour glows bright blue lines of energy, all leading to the armours back, split and joining as it runs up and down the suit. When activated, the circle or "core" at the nape of the neck glows brightly, pulsing with every use of energy. One of the main features of the armour is the helmet, which is domed, pitch black, and appears to be made of a sort of thick glass. The jaw ridged and angular, wrapping around to cradle the dome atop it at the back. As well, on the hands of the suit are a pair of horizontal blue lines, built into the palms of the suit.

Personality: Matthew is a quiet and introverted person, preferring to finish his work rather than socialize. He has no patience for slackers, and respects those with discipline and focus. This is not to say he cannot to be casual; Matthew enjoys the company of close peers, loving to make people laugh. In a professional environment however, he makes sure to make it clear that there is no room for play. On top of this, Matthew has little need for pleasantries, his bane being the kind who weasel and manipulate their way into success. He believe in actions before words, and shows his loyalties to those who can prove they can be trusted.

Short Biography: Matthew Forrester was born and raised a labourer. He worked all his young life, quickly moving through vocational college and getting a job as a roofer when he turned 20. He worked for two years like this, until a fateful encounter changed his life forever. Being in the right place at the right time, Matthew came into contact with a crash landed capsule, containing a great power; A semi-organic living armour, that attached to his spine. The armour quickly bonded with the young man's nervous system, becoming one with the human. Before Matthew could even question his situation, another meteoric event releases a gaggle of robotic beasts upon him. Fearing for his life, Matthew inadvertently activates the armour, which empowers him with increased strength, partial flight, and the ability to control electricity. These newly discovered powers allow him to dispatch the beasts, of a similar composition to the armour, and escape. With these new-found abilities, and with no way of remove the armour without killing him, Matthew decides to take these developments in stride, and put his power to good use; He becomes Lightning Rod, a electric-whip toting, no nonsense superhero protecting the common man from those who would take advantage of him.

Powers, Skills & Equipment: The armour grants Matthew with several very fortunate boons. The first is an increased, superhuman strength. Putting a dent in a steel plate or concrete wall only requires the swing of an arm for Matthew, and lifting the weight of a large car is strenuous, but doable. The feet of the suit are fitted with boosters, strong enough to, when supplementing a jump, allow Matthew to cross distances with mighty leaps. The main ability of the suit is to draw electricity into itself for later use from any source. It is able to pull electricity at range from open circuits, such as outlets, live wires, and lightning storms, and from closed circuits at touch, such as power lines or generators. The capacity of storage is incredibly high, but is not infinite. The suit has the ability to fire bolts or arcs of pure electricity from it's hands, as well as manifest whips of concentrated energy. The suit has also proven quite resistant to intense heat.

Weakness: While deactivated, the armour provides no protection or strengths to Matthew. This means that attacks of opportunity would be quite effective against him. This is compounded by the fact that Matthew must activate the suit manually by tapping the core at the base of his neck, and thus can be restrained to prevent him from powering up. Additionally, Matthew has no form of martial training, and relies completely on the abilities of the armour to fight. An unfortunate side effect of activating the armour is that any clothes being warn at the time will be ripped to shreds. This means that Matthew will be left... compromised, once he powers down. If drained of all power, the suit will deactivate. This includes scenarios where the armour expends all of it's energy, or ones where the energy is somehow forcefully removed. The armour has also proven rather weak to the cold; frigid conditions or cold based attacks cause the armour to short or seize, eventually debilitating it completely. Delving into the hypothetical, the power storage of the armour is very large, but not infinite. If it were to be overloaded, the core of the armour could catastrophically melt down, the implications of which could be monstrous.

Full Biography

Matthew Forrester is the son of a simple labourer, and was happy to take up the mantle. He breezed through high school on mediocre grades, and quickly powered through vocational college, all the while working with his father to build up his experience. This resulted in his graduating at the age of twenty, and moving on to the work force only a few months later. Matthew worked as a roofer for two years, and couldn't be happier with his work. The salary was of little concern to him, second to the joy of his occupation.

It was a hot summer day in Claychester, and Matthew was working alone on the roof a small bungalow a dozen kilometres from down-town. A sudden, crackling boom thundered through the sky, startling the labourer and drawing his eyes to the sky. His eyes darting over the clear skyline, Matthew scanned for the source of the sound. Perhaps a super sonic plane was flying overhead?

What he saw was nothing short of breath taking. A bright, blue light was slowly growing bigger over his head. As it grew bigger, a hissing screech grew louder until, in a shatter crash, the light struck the ground with amazing force. Matthew dove down, shielding himself with the peak of the house from the blast. Chunks of concrete and asphalt flew over his head in the deafening explosion, and a large chunk of the road struck the roof of the house, crashing into the room below. Matthew rushed to his ladder, which had luckily not been knocked over in the event, and quickly climbed down.

In the aftermath of the impact, a smouldering crater was left in the road. Pieces of asphalt littered the road, and car alarms blared, set off by the shock-wave of the explosion. Matthew approached the smoking crash, and noted that there didn't seem to be anyone else on the street- it was mid day, and everyone was at work. Finally arriving at the edge of the crater, Matthew looked down into it in awe.

The hole created by the impact must have been at least 20 metres wide, encompassing the full width of the road, the side-walk, and into the lawns on either side. At the centre of the shallow hole lay a cylindrical capsule. (TBC)

Fun facts:

• Matthew is afraid of spiders. This fear manifests today as a burning hatred of anything creepy-crawly, and he has cause hundreds in damages in trying to destroy them.
• Matthew's favourite food is meatloaf. It reminds him of his childhood.
• In Matthew's younger years, he suffered from vertigo. After a rather nasty fall down the stairs, hitting his head, however, he was miraculously cured.
• Matthew actually isn't very fond of the design of his armour. "Don't get me wrong," he'll tell you, "It's fucking cool, but there's something about it that seems... familiar. I don't know, maybe I just don't like the colour."

#5

Alias: Number 5 (#5)
Real name: Jacob Khusrau
Age: 75
Gender: Male

Appearance

Standing at 5'11 with silver blue eyes Jacob is 180 of lean human flesh. He has little to know muscle and has more of a runners build. Most of his body due to his ability, can be changed at will which is why he cannot seem to really remember what he looked like, but his current for is closest to it. His hair is a dark brown and his eyes are a piercing silver and light blue, more blue in sun light and more sliver in the dark. He has a runners lean build, with little to no muscles, and only weighs 175 lbs. When he is not saving someones life, you can catch him some casual clothes or another. He is in love with graphic tees of all types and wears them when he gets the chance. Jacob hates to be confined or restrained so suits are not his thing. When it is hot you will see him in shorts and a t-shirt, or muscle shirt, and when it is cold jeans, or joggers, and long sleeve tops like sweaters and shirt. His super suit is a made of spandex and the same material that they make dry fit shirts out of, it is also laced with organic fibers so that he can control it. (http://www.tribomb.com/reviews/huub-wetsuit/image02.jpg

Personality: Jacob is a no nonsense kind of person. He sees everything in black and white and does not believe that there is a grey. If you did something wrong, for whatever reason it is still wrong and justice must be served. Morality and positive reasoning's do not appeal to him, as I said before everything is black and white with him. This leads him to be stubborn in most situations and not consider the feelings of others, thus he makes enemies fast. He is not anti-emotional but just does not care overall. His hero-ing could be considered the same; it does not matter if someone did something wrong for the sake of their family or any other important thing, a villainous or illegal act was committed and that is enough for him to pounce. He can hold a grudge as well, and has more loyalty than a life long dog.

Short Biography: During his youth in Germany, he was abducted by the Gestapo and taken to a research facility. Here the Nazis were conducting experiments on him and many other subjects to unlock the full capacity of the brain to enable different types of natural powers to develop. He was subject number 5, in a line of twelve. He was taken at the beginning of the WWII, right after Germany invaded Poland. The experiments consisted of live open brain surgeries, injects, organ removal, nuclear radiation, and many other long and dangerous experiments that lead him to near death. These process were mostly meant to prepare the body for the large and forces transformations that the brain was going through and would inflict upon it. The Nazis finished their brain trials in the first few years of his time with them, the rest were meant to perfect the bodies adaptability for anything to come.

A few months before the war ended the Nazis began their final trials, they created a machine call the cradle of life. When put inside it, the subject would be bathed in atomic, nuclear, and solar energy. It was meant to supercharge the cells and activate any DNA and molecular changes that had been made while keeping the subject alive. This finalized treatment was only given to the first five subjects, the war ended before the rest could be treated. Soon after his treatment, his ability of Organic Manipulation. They had unlocked 55% of his brain capacities of functions.

Powers, Skills & Equipment: Jacob can manipulate organic matter. He can create, shape and manipulate everything and anything organic, both organisms and organic matter. His power centers on an atomic level, this means he can change the very atomic make-up of any organic (carbonated) substance. This means full control over organic cells and anything carbonated. He can control life on a cellular level; advanced healing, advanced decay, create diseases, even genetic alteration.

Jacob, himself, can only control certain things due to his lack of experience with his power. He can control the cells of his body. He can change the cellular (and genetic) makeup of his body, to make him self look different, control his organic mass and density, make his cells rearrange to take different shapes and sizes (think Parasite or Prototype). Because of this he has given himself immortal by process of hyper active cellular regeneration. So for an clear example of his abilities; if he was to lose a limb it would take time but he could regenerate it, so most wounds can be fixed. Also most sickness and diseases cannot affect him, it would have to be a un-carbonated for it to have affect. Another example is the reconstruction of his body, He can change everything from his face down to how he sweats, with enough knowledge and concentration. The skill that he knows is organic construct formation, being able to change his own organic material into tools, objects, weapons, and other items.

His external abilities are very limited due to him not completing is procedures with his captors. He can only control other organic (carbonated) substances that he comes in contact with. He can heal other people or speed their aging and decay process. Mostly he is only able to do that but can move short distances through organic substances, and move other people he comes in contact with. Jacob can also change the organic material of living things he come in contact with, like with his own, into other organic objects and weapons.

Weakness: Jacob cannot create his own organic matter. This means that he cannot create his own construct out of air, he need some kind of source that already exist. This limits his powers greatly, he cannot create, life on his own (not yet any way), not even from his own organic matter. He has tried to bring pieces of himself to life and give them their own existences but it takes to much focus and he has to give up a something from every part of his body. Overall the process is to much for him so he cannot do it.

Another major weakness is his need for concentration. If it is external he has to have a certain level of concentration to exert control, so if he makes a construct out of carbon, or plant life, depending on what he makes, how long he has it active, and what the size of the construct is, all of these play factors in the level of focus he will have to have to keep it alive.

His last major weakness would be his lack of knowledge and experience. Because his ability is tied into his brain function how can he do something if he does not have the knowledge or experience with already in him. His ability leaves open a lot of open doors, but most of them are closed due to his ignorance on those subject. His powers are not instinctive at all, so none of them happen just because he needs them to, or because of a gut feeling, or because of the moment, Jacob has had to do existence research on each skill that he can do currently, and on any that he wants to learn. The main reason he cannot create life is because he does not know enough about it. He has tried to make his abilities apart of his instincts, but because they were given in a traumatic environment, and are incomplete, his powers are just like any other tools that is man made and put into the body. Overall if he is distracted he wont be able to help anyone but himslef in most situations.

Full Biography

Jacob was born in 1915, in a small village in between, Berlin and Potsdam. He had 5 other siblings and only a mother to raised them, because his father was killed in WWI. They all lived in a small one story house with small rooms and one bathroom. As a child Jacob grew up alone, he was the oldest and had no cares in the world. He was an avid reader and soccer player, and helped his mother and father out with house work and farming.

He did not start to have siblings until his father enlisted for WWI, and as a parting gift he would leave a child every time he came home for leave. It is even known that his father may have had some children with women he met during the war. When he did not come home at the end of the war he was presumed dead and never heard from again. Jacob had to take his place and get a hard job in a mill factory, just to make meets end for the family. Because of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany had a major blow to their economy and this lead to people losing jobs, unemployment rising and Jacob have to turn to more moral defining sources of work. By his teenage years he had two focuses in life; education, not only for his family but for him self as well, and the other being money, the best ways to save, get, and invest it.

When he exited secondary school (high school), everything was starting to look good for his family. His mother was happy, his sisters were doing well, and he would be turning 21. That year WWII came and the Nazi party swept over Germany. He was to busy to concern himself with politics, and his mother was not a supporter, but they still had to follow the norms of society (at the time) and deal with the prejudices going around in the country. One night after his job, he was walking home from drinking with his friends, he was hammered, and got abducted by the Gestapo.

They took him to a secret facility in Luneberg. It was one of the Nazi S.T.E.M facilities, were they worked to better their military prowess and improve the over all functions of human beings. Here is where the experiments started, he was apart of a group known as Project Braniac. The purpose was to unlock the higher brain functions of humanity and make a more perfect human. They only had 12 subjects in order from arrival time, he was subject number 5. They did all kinds of experiments on him the entire duration of the war. He was only ever known by his number along with the other "subjects" and that's how they called to each other.

Towards the end of the war, the Nazis created the "Cradle of Life". Its main purpose was to act as a crib and allow for the injection and direct exposure of the cells to nuclear, atomic, and solar energy to activate the triggers that were set in place by the experiments. This was done for the last few months of the war and when everyone was done the Nazis would unleash their new creations. Well the project was cut short and only the first five were able to receive the treatment, which brought about their powers safely and naturally with no scars, while the last seven had to endure pain and some kind of deformity, wither it was metal or physical, to get their powers. Jacob was mid procedure (it was at 90% completion) when the US stormed the base and tried to take over.

Soon after being liberated the "original five" decided to destroy the facility and everything in it to make sure that no one could get their hands on the research and try to duplicate it. In spite of that Jacob kept the files on the "originals" and the blue prints on the cradle. He returned to his family that were no split in Berlin and Warsaw. His mother was living her last few years in a old folks home in Berlin, the cause was cancer. soon after she died he left Germany in altogether and moved to America. By now he was well off, the German government was (still is) paying him off to keep his mouth shut about what he went through, and the US government was (still is) paying him off to allow them to get a yearly "check up" om his well being.

He continued to raise his sisters and watched them grow and have their own children, and so on and such forth. No his family is one of the last Aryan lines left that are from Germany. By the modern date all but one of his siblings is dead and she lives with him in New Orleans. Right when he came back he told his sisters what he could do and how it happened, and they told their kids and soon he became a legend among the younger generations. Many who visit his sister Alice, only see him as her care taker or butler but that is not the truth.

After his sister died two years ago, he found did not know what to do with his time, taking care of his family was already done so now he could just waste away. But that was until he heard about someone who matched the description of Number 3. Number 3 was an older man who hated the Germans and had been at the facility longer than Jacob had. The reports had said that he was using his abilities to rob banks. Bank robing turned to grand theft, which turned to mass murder of anyone who had ties to Germany. Jacob knew this would pose a problem so he stepped in and combated him the entire way. He saved lives and got a public name because he wore a #5. The crusade ended with the death of Number three at the hands of Jacob and Number 4.

Soon after he had gained a hero background and now had something to occupy his time, saving the lives of the truly innocent.

Hercules

Alias: Hercules
Real name: Cesar Parma
Age: 22
Gender: Male

Appearance: Physically, he’s an average guy. You wouldn’t look at him twice if you see him in the street. He’s 1,82 meters tall and weighs 68 Kg. His brown hair is short and straight, and other than his eyebrows, he has no facial hair. His eyes are brown, as well as the very distinctive mole that sits on the left side of his pointy little nose. That mole is perhaps the only distinctive thing about his face. His lips are a little bit too thin and he tries to keep then together as much as he can, because he has braces and he doesn’t like them. He’s not muscular at all, he’s rather skinny, which makes him more flexible and agile than strong.
While in his human form, he wears a shirt and a pair of jeans. Every time he transform into one of the gods, he also adopts their clothes. These usually consist of a light chest armor, a sort of roman skirt and a couple of sandals. He doesn’t have a costume or a suit. Whenever he feels in the mood to fight crime, he just calls in for Apolo. He doesn’t have any special power, but Cesar use him as a kind of disguise to make everyone think that that is his actual human form.

Personality: He tries to keep it low profile, though sometimes he just can’t control himself when it comes to people being mean with others. He does not want anyone to discover his secret identity, that’s why he hasn’t told anyone about it. In order to maintain a low profile, he acts shy and unfriendly. He has an already existing group of friends, so he doesn’t want to make any new ones. When it comes to talking to stranger, he thinks that the lesser the better. That way, he has created a character that is very unlikely to hide a heroic personality under it.
With his friends he’s different. He’s more joyful, warm and talkative. His parents died, so his friends and his sister are all he’s got left, and he cares about them more than anything in his life.

Short Biography: Cesar was born in Rome. But when he was nine, they parents had to leave Italy due to some problems Cesar had never truly understood. They went to the United States, were they kept on with their lives. The night his parents died, when he was 18, he had the weirdest dream ever and knew about their deaths before anyone told him. They had flown all the way to New Skywell for some business. In his dream, his mother told him that everyone would tell him that they had died in a car accident, but that he shouldn’t believe them. They had been murdered because of a secret her mother had carried with her since the passing of her father, Cesar grandfather. Now that she had died, the secret belonged to him, his firstborn. She also told him that he would start to experience some strange things going around with both, his body and mind. That she wouldn’t be able to explain it to him, but the gods would. That she loved him and was going to miss him, and that he should take care of her sister, by that time of 16 years.
A couple of weeks later, while the wound was still fresh, he had another dream. This time he wasn’t speaking to his mother, but to the roman gods. They explain him that he was kind of the descendant of the gods themselves. And told him all they could about his abilities and how to control them. They told him he was to guard the future of human kind and that he was, since the creation of the ones of his kind, the most important guard, since the humans were sunken in the darkest of ages. That was why he would receive the name of Hercules, the most important guard of the gods.

Powers, Skills & Equipment: He can embody any of the Roman gods. Each time he does, his appearance chance to one that fits the God’s human appearance and he gains a particular power depending on which god he “becomes”. When he is Jupiter, he can control and create electric charges with his hands. When he is Neptune, he can swim faster than any human being, he can breathe under water and control any already-existing amount of it. While being Pluto, he can reanimate and control the dead. He doesn’t like this god very much because he thinks his powers are not like the ones a superhero should have, but he can use them in case he absolutely has to. When he is Venus, he becomes the most beautiful woman ever, being able to seduce anyone he wants, he can also make anyone fall in love with anyone. When he is Cupid, he becomes an excellent marksman. If he becomes Mercury, he can run around the 300 Km/h. When he is Mars, he becomes an expert in both, close-ranged weapons and unarmed fight. While being Vulcan, he can create and extinct fire with his bare hands. When he’s Janus, he can open any door or gate. When he’s Fortuna, he just gets lucky in any kind of competition or game. When he is Lupa, he gains the ability to shape shift into an immortal wolf.
Weaknesses: Every transformation takes some precious seconds that sometimes he just cannot afford to lose. He has also a huge variety of powers, but none of them are very powerful.

Full Biography

Cesar was born in Rome, on the night of the 12 of December of 1992. His father worked as an ancient history professor in the University of Rome, and her mother was a doctor who had the weirdest work hours ever. Throughout his childhood, he has no recollection of spending time with his parents outside his house. When he was two years old, his sister Martina was born. They grew up together and are really attached to each other. One night, when Cesar was nine, his father arrived at his home and started packing. He gave no explanations to Cesar or his sister, got them in the car and drove directly to the airport, stopping only to pick up a strange woman from the hospital his mother worked in. They also stopped in a badly illuminated alley were his father told them to switch cars with the one that was parked in front of theirs and wait to their mother in there. They did. A couple of seconds later, his father drove off and his mother opened the front door of the car and sat to the wheel. During the time they traveled, their mother told them that they were going to move to the USA, that something she could not explained had happened and that if by any chance they were to see their father in the airport, they should act as if they didn’t know him. Almost a day after they had left their home, they arrived at Grimmarch. They met with his father and started a new life there. He had a little trouble adapting to this new life. Partly because of the language, partly because of the culture, but mostly because he missed his old friends.

When he was fourteen, he met Sam, his new best friend. He introduced him to Sarah and Lisa. The four of them became friends and have been very close from that day on.

From that day on, his life went just like any other adolescent life. With its ups and downs, but nothing out of the ordinary. Until one night of August, when he was 18. His parents had flown to New Skywell and he had been left in charge of the house and his sister, even though she was big enough to take care of herself. During that night, he had a dream. He dreamed with his mother. She told him that people would tell him that they had died in a car accident. That he shouldn’t believe them. That they had been murder and that one day that people who murder them would come after him. She said she didn’t have much time. That she loved him and that she will miss him. That she hoped he could bear the responsibility she had just left him, and that she was sorry about it. “Don’t worry, the gods will guide you…”

He woke up to the sound of the ringing phone. It was the police department of New Skywell. They told him his parents had died in a car accident that night. He didn’t cried about it, because he had already cried in his dreams and because he needed to be strong for Martina. The following weeks were hell for them. Luckily, they both had great groups of friends that supported them and took turns to look after them.
Exactly 24 nights after his parents’ death, Cesar had another weird dream. This time it wasn’t his mother who visited him; this time was Mercury who did. Not the planet but the roman god and messenger of the gods. He said he had a message from Jupiter. “We’ll explain everything to you, kid, don’t worry. You’ll just have to be patient. And I’m sorry about your parents, I really am. I really liked your mother.” He was speaking Latin, and even though Cesar didn’t speak it, he was able to understand him perfectly. That day he wasn’t capable to focus in anything else. He usually wasn’t able to remember his dreams, but this one he remember to perfection, every last bit of it. When he went to sleep that night, he was sure that he was going to have another dream of the sort. But nothing happened, and it kept like that for exactly 23 more days. He had almost forgotten about the gods when he suddenly had a dream. He was in the middle of circle of people. But when he took a better look at them, he saw Mercury. One of the men stepped forward and said to him: “Greetings young human. My name is Jupiter. I believe you already know who we are. What you probably do not know is who you are. You are part of a very long chain of guardians of the earth. Your mother was one; your grandfather was one, and so on until the very begging of our civilization. Each guardian has a very strong power hidden inside, that will only be freed with his progenitor death. Your mother’s death had freed yours, and so is our responsibility to teach you how to use them. What you do with them is not our problem. Although we believe that you will use them wisely, given that you are a descendant of the very first of the guardians. I know it might sound confusing, but you must try to understand. You’ll be granted with the power to invoke a human form of ourselves into your body. Every time you do it, you’ll change your physiology and gain certain powers that you’ll be able to use as you please. To do so, you’ll just have to try to fill your body with the desire of being one of us. It’s not easy to do. It usually takes between a week and ten days to conquer the ability. You must also take into account that the people who killed your parents will be also willing to kill you and your sister. Luckily for you, your mother did a great job covering up the fact that she had two children. But they are not stupid, as soon as you start acting, they’ll realize who you are and will try to kill you and anyone you care. That’s why we advise you to protect your real identity and use one of use when you are using your powers. That way, anyone you care for will be safe. Go now, kid. Try to take all this in and start exploring your powers. Oh, and one more thing. Since this is the darkest of ages since the one of your kind were created, you’ll we granted the name of Hercules among your equals, the most important guard ever, and my very own son.”

It took him a couple of days to convince himself of what he has been through. Once he did, he started trying to invoke the gods, just like Jupiter had told him. And the seventh they had passed and nothing had happened at all. He started to get worried. Perhaps, he wasn’t worthy. He became trouble about the fact that perhaps he wouldn’t be able to use his powers, or perhaps that everything had been nothing but a dream. Or even worse, perhaps he was going crazy. And that was when he really started wishing to transform into one of the gods. He couldn’t afford to go crazy because he had his sister to look after. If he went crazy, what would become of her? Without even noticing it, he suddenly felt a rage going up and down his body and when he opened his eyes, he wasn’t himself anymore. He was wearing a golden armor that was as light as silk, a roman skirt that made him feel a little ridiculous and a couple of sandals that were actually really nice. When he looked in a mirror, he didn’t see himself, but a very handsome young man who starred back at him. He was taller, more muscular and felt much more athletic than he had ever done in his life. The sound of a slamming door took him out of his reverie. His sister had just arrived home, and he couldn’t let her see him like that. So he tried to transform back into himself. But he couldn’t do so. Full with fear, he climb down the window as his sister entered his empty room looking for him. He ended up in an alleyway, and with that costume, he wasn’t going to go unnoticed. When he was about to come out of the alley, he run into a three guys who started laughing at him because of what he was wearing. He tried to keep walking but they corner him into the alley and started making fun of him. He pushed of them away and the guy landed quite farther than he actually thought he would. Suddenly, one of them tried to punch him in the face, and he, out the blue, blocked the punch and started fighting the three guys at the same time. It took him a couple of seconds to have the three guys lying unconscious in the floor. He left the alley, shook at what he had done and started walking back to his home. The street was deserted, and when he arrived at his house, he realized that somewhere in the way he had become himself again, and thanked the gods that nobody was there to see him.

That night was Mars, the god of war, who talked to him in his dreams: “I’m glad that you had picked me at your first “call-in”. As you might have learned, when you do, you’ll become some kind of an expert in every kind of close ranged combat, both armed and unarmed. You might also have noticed that every god has a connection to a different state of mind. That’s what you should use in order to “call-in” each one of us. With the time you’ll learn to control it. By now, you should keep in mind that you have to be really careful about this responsibility. The others will like to explain you about his powers now.” And so they did. They also advised him to “call-in” Apollo every time he wanted to use his powers. This will make everyone think that his real identity was Apollo’s. He should only make sure not to be seen in Apollo’s form around his friends and relatives.

It took him more or less four months to fully understand and control his powers and his transformations. Each time he wanted to call-in a god, he had to concentrate in a specific state of mind. And every time he transformed, he would experience a different sensation. With Jupiter was like an electric buzz that ran all over his body. With Vulcan was like an inner fire that grew from his core. With Pluto was like the hollow emptiness of death… He came to like more some gods than others. While Jupiter, Neptune and Mars are among his favorites, Pluto, Janus and Fortuna are the ones that he calls-in the least.

Nowadays, at the age of 22 he has committed himself almost completely to the fight against evil. His parents left him and her sister a lot of money, really, a lot. As it seems, his mother wasn’t as reluctant as Cesar is about using Fortuna’s form to win money from the casinos. So he doesn’t really has to work, he just do it to avoid any type of suspicions. He works as a writer, which has very flexible hours and can be done from the comfort of his precious bed. Mostly he writes sci-fi novels, and the occasional novel about roman gods and some kind of human-kind-protector. Two times a week he meets with Sam, Sarah and Lisa to have some beers and spend some time together. He also separates some time of the week to spend with his sister. All the time he’s not doing any of these activities or sleeping, he uses to fight evil.

Fun facts: Once, he had been in love with a friend for two years when he realized she wasn’t into guys. So he took the form of Venus and seduced her to have sex with him, or her. Best night ever…
He loves spaghetti, but the real ones, not that excuse you guys dare to call spaghetti.

IASDCOM's Best

Alias: Black Static
Real Name: Arthur Adamska Nickolai
Age: 28
Gender: Male.

Appearance:

Warning hueg imgs

In Combat Suit
Outside Combat Suit.

He's a slightly shorter man, at five feet and six inches, yet he's honed his physical ability as high as possible. He has messy brown hair, and blue-grayish eyes. He has a tendency to wear a red bandanna to keep his hair out of his face. He's also commonly a bit dirty, yet not terribly so. His 'Combat Suit' is descended from 'DragonSkin' armor, NBC suits, wetsuits, and uses some technology from astronaut and cosmonaut spacesuits. It's an intimidating piece of kit with piercing red eyes and a certain evilness to it, which amusingly belies the personality of the man inside.

Personality: Arthur is a man of simple tastes and desires. He's focused on his mission, to eradicate dangerous supers and provide protection to those who can't do it themselves, be they 'normies' or metahumans. He doesn't care about race, color, or creed, all people are equal objects to protect. Yet... that's what he hopes. Sometimes, he finds himself hating the people he's supposed to help, and before every operation he wonders if he'll hold, or if he'll finally go nuts from contact with so many strange anomalies and persons and just kill everyone. To put it bluntly, he's crippled by self doubt, and wonders if he's really even worthy to try and protect the public. In the end, he'll always do the right thing, but he's worried if he's doing it for everyone, or just for himself. Is he killing dangerous supers to really help the common man, or is that just what he's telling himself? Is he just trying to affirm his superiority? Or something else?

Short Biography: Arthur was born to normal human parents 28 years ago, yet, when he was just three they were mysteriously killed. Without even forming memories of his parents, he was put into an orphanage. At the age of 15, he ran away from his new 'family', and found himself joining the military, lying about his age. He raised through the ranks with his superb natural skills, and was put into a special operations group. After blowing them out of the water with his abilities and finding himself as the best operative they've ever had, he was put into IASDCOM, and has been with them ever since as their trump-card.

Powers, Skills, Equipment: 'Black Static' has five primary items in his arsenal: his highly modified P90, an equally modified .44 dubbed the 'Normalcy Gun', his Combat Suit, his belt of various grenades, and his trusty multi-purpose communicator. His p90, dubbed 'Iron Rain', yet technically called the "p90 IASDCOM General Mod.", is designed for maximum capability against super-powered individuals, and still be highly useful against conventional enemies. To that end, it has a laser sight, an ammo-belt connecting to a small backpack on BS's back storing a large amount of ammunition, and each round comes complete with a depleted uranium core. It also has a longer barrel, giving increased accuracy. This gives it a high rate of fire with minimal need to reload, yet with minimum collateral damage. His .44 is a completely standard .44, aside from its' sole modification; the ability to accept special 'Normalcy Rounds'. Normalcy Rounds are fitted with tiny, miniaturized 'Normalcy Generators', that create a special field of energy that stops or reduces the effectiveness of most forms of super-abilities. It has a high rate of success, and is a trusted technology.

His Combat Suit is, as aforementioned, descended from NBC suits, DragonSkin armor technology, military wet suits, and even spacesuits used by NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency. It's made of a special undersuit, sealed from the elements, and providing a degree of protection by itself, mostly against melee weapons and environmental hazards, like fire or certain chemicals. After that is the oversuit, which is most like a spacesuit or hazmat suit, with a special mask (with a rebreather system) and gloves, creating a sealed environment for the wearer and fully protecting them against environmental dangers. It also starts protecting the wearer against small arms fire with its' thick skin. Finally is the outer armor, weaved with special circular ceramic plates, providing a huge degree of protection against small arms and explosives. In addition, it features many pockets for storing all sorts of miscellaneous equipment and items, alongside oxygen tanks. Finally, his suit also protects against psychic interference, to a certain point.

His belt of grenades usually holds eight of them, four on the front, four on the back. All of his explosives are specially modified to not explode if shot at, yet explode when actually activated, giving an extremely minimum amount of time to force an explosion in his hand or some other trick. He usually has three 'spiker grenades' which explode into a highly focused storm of flechettes, three 'chaff grenades' which create small clouds of flakes made of a special material which messes with most forms of sensors, and two 'Normalcy Grenades' that create a large Normalcy Field that lasts forty five seconds. His Multi-purpose communicator is the most mundane of his equipment: It's a high-powered communication device that is effectively a smart-phone, radio, laser communicator, GPS, and PDA all at once. It's roughly the size of a bulky smartphone.

Finally, even with his developing PTSD, he's just really, really determined. He refuses to back down from trying to protect the weak, and never loses track of his goal. This, is ultimately his superpower.

Weakness: His primary weaknesses are a fear of not being strong enough, even with all of his skill, and 'just' being a highly skilled soldier with a few tricks up his sleeve. While he never shows it, and his psychological handlers back at HQ only suspect it, he has a massive amount of self-doubt and fear. Every time, he finds it difficult to pull the trigger, and sometimes wonders if he's really aiming at his target, or his mind is finally going and he's actually just killing a civilian. It'd be very easy to make him snap with psychic abilities, if you could just remove that pesky combat suit of his which helps against that.

Full Biography: (Sorry I still need time to write this ;-;)

Fun Facts: His favorite color is green. He hates spaghetti. He loves a good steak, or pizza. He's mildly scared of snakes. He is fluent in three languages: English, Russian, and Navajo.

Roulette

Roulette

Alias: Roulette, Kat
Real name: Princess Jillia Katring Railwala Laliz Salevra Monator Venia of House Eveshka
Age: 25, but Kat doesn’t age.
Gender: Female

Appearance: Jillia "Kat" Eveshka is an attractive woma standing 5'6" tall weighing only 115 lbs. She is slender, possessing a slight improved hourglass shaped body but surprisingly strong. Her shoulder-length hair is in a metallic midnight green hue. Her eyes are amber color. Her face is heart-shaped with a generous full lips and an aquiline nose. Katring's skin is in a pale pink porcelain tone and her most notable feature is few lines that betray her synthetic skin. She has a pierced left eyebrow which was made of Vendarite, a rare gem only found within Horizon's core.

She has a love for leather clothing and persists in dressing in the outlandish styles of Horizon. She often wears long coat, halter dress or even any noir-related attire. Kat's uniform consists in a "imperial blue" leather suit with a leather jacket on top of that. Her suit is made of corbomite weave, a material similar to Kevlar, resistant to high and low temperatures, but flexible as normal clothing. The corbomite suit resembles to Earth's leather, and it's able of repairing itself over time thus not needing another outfit.

Personality: Kat is very gentle, kind, and sweet. Kat is an unquestionably loyal friend but she has a temperamental soul, often showing mood swings when those she loves and protects are threatened, and in stressful situations she can have temper tantrums. She loves to help people and fighting evil and she always tried to be a "real hero." She is very uneasy about physical violence herself, but several of her alter egos can been called to action when the need arises. Kat is too good-hearted to be judgmental. Although not shy, Kat can be quite innocent, and insecure around beautiful women. As all Ni-Kunni she has no qualms about expressing emotion in a public and bombastic manner.

Short Biography: Jillia hails from Horizon. She is a prince of House Eveshka, one of the aristocratic families that rule that planet. As every great house member she had psi powers but due to her death she lost most of it. When she was reincarnated with a synthetic body, she became empathic to the point that later was shown as dissociative identity disorder. She discovered that she could call an alter ego, though with its own personality. She-or at least her alteregos-fought in the civil war, and when facing imminent defeat she decided to escape in a capsule through a mass drive. Unfortunately, the plan backfired, the drive was badly damaged and sent her to Earth, the cradle of human civilization. It would be a sad story if the earth know to Kat was only a myth of a distant past in which humanity has spread into space, eventually escaping the destruction of the pale blue dot.

Powers, Skills & Equipment: Kat's body regenerates due to nanoparticles flowing in her body, so she heals from any wounds, even regrowing amputated body parts. A side-effect of this regeneration is that she doesn't age. She has the power to transform into several different "supers" created from random thoughts of her. The transformations is extensive, as Kat not only changed physically, but adopted a complete different personality when she became one of her alter egos. Kat believes she can call for more alteregos, although she is very comfortable with the six she has.

Pop
Beruka is an attractive woman, frequently preening herself for just the right amount of bounce in her hair, or glow in her face.

Beruka is an archetypal southern belle with a desire to accumulate material wealth. She craves fame and fortune, and has a strong devious steak to help her acquire it. She has a tendency to treat an attraction to a woman as a love-at-first-sight proposition, and applies terms like "soul mate" and "destiny" to even brief encounters. Beruka can teleport herself, or another person or object, to another location within her line of sight or memory. She must be within physical contact to teleport something else.

Weakness: Although a virtually improved and unkillable, Kat possesses all normal human characteristics. Without her alter egos, she is just an ordinary woman who came from an unknown planet incapable of hurting another person. Another misfortune is that she doesn't have full control of when and how to become an alterego. They come and go mostly in need and survival instinct. Each alter ego has its own personality in Kat's shuffled mind. Unlike her, the alter egos can be killed and have their own weaknesses.

Full Biography:

Hider

Jillia was born on the planet Horizon, a planet dominated by families in a futuristic feudal government. She is a Ni-Kunni, one of the few human bloodlines that achieved independence from the Terran Empire. The Ni-Kunni are governed by eight great houses, each with an intrinsic network of smaller houses, a caste system divided between nobles, soldiers, artisans and relay-the most numerous caste. Society is divided into two groups, the psi lords and the mind-blind, those who have no power or live in areas where there are Power Nullification's towers. In addition, Ni-Kunni-as well as many of the futuristic societies—doesn't have sexual taboos. The physical pleasure is not considered a sin between them, and things like adultery, homosexuality, incest and are fully accepted in society. The nobles even lead attractive members of mind-blind class as sex toys. Since there is so little sexual frustration in Horizon, rape is almost unheard of. The only sin greater than the Ni-Kunni recognize is uncontrolled breeding that can produce unplanned children.

Jillia is a princess of the House Eveshka, she grew up in a society that values eugenics, to ensure that their amazing psionic powers are not shared with most mind-blind. Early on she was confined in the Amarr, women's and children—of both genders under 13 years—quarter, made for their protection. But the life among the great houses is full of intrigue, as each tries to move you without mercy in the nobility of Horizon. The houses also fight each other, each trying to assert dominance over others. It was in this scenario that Jillia grew when two major alliances in Horizon waged a brutal war.

When the Ealur-the ritual of adulthood-was presented to Jillia, she declared herself a lesbian, losing the title of Princess Heiress and chose to go as a military commander, with pure intent of helping her father, Mognai IV Eveshka, and brother, Sohmoud-current Prince Heir who was going to marry her. She won the command of the 7th Infantry Division and was soon sent to the capital. In the skirmish, the division was obliterated and only few survived. Jillia had lost an arm, a leg and burned part of her face and lapsed into a coma.

Fortunately, technological advances of the time allowed her to "come back to life." Mognai IV hired the greatest biological scientists from houses and allied castes to bring her back to life. The result was a body composed entirely of mercassium—a trans Newtonian element used to transplant organs and to grow amputated limbs of soldiers. Different from what was formerly used, the amount of mercassium was bent to the point of her whole body was absorbed by the element. Jillia then become one of the firsts Synthetic, humans with artificial skin that simulates the human perfectly.

Reincarnation had it toll. Jillia lost her psi powers and in turn gained dissociative identity disorder. While in combat, Jillia was no longer docile as before, she was more ruthless and violent. It was only when one of the powers nullification's towers was destroyed that she discovered the real reason for her personality. Jillia gleamed incessantly and became a Undoriam, an alien species of a brute and feared people who serve as war mercenaries. The path of destruction that Undoriam let in both enemies and allies gave him him the Mayhem alias. Later she found out she owned other alteregos each with different powers.

The war was almost won when a squadron of enemies destroyed a antimissile installation. And before the nuclear missiles reach the capital, Julie entered in a capsule and accessed the mass drive in an attempt to escape. Unfortunately, the drive malfunction sent her back in time, more precisely at a time when humanity was still confined to the Planet Earth, which was regarded as a religious symbol for Ni-Kunni people, a legend. As she crashed on Earth, she was found by the Overwatch Twelve. After long hours of conversation without success, she was released as they feared other "hazard" with Mayhem just like in the landing site. Eventually she gained two new alter egos, a Russian assassin and a cynical detective. And inspired by the nowaday heroes and noir movies she decided to try her luck as a heroine.

Fun facts:

• Her arrival on Earth is recent.
• Although okay, it was decided that every month an Overwatch officer will seek her for a monthly report. "You know, just a formality. Ain't like I expect to find you got a family history of super villains."
• As a Ni-Kunni she doesn't hide her libido but knows very well how to control her desires.
• Since she came to Earth she drinks whiskey or brandy often, in large quantities. She also has an unconditional love for coffee.
• She "discovered" Sam Spade while watching Earth's noir movies.
• Kat loves classic rock, thanks to Rainbow.
• She plays chess.

Corona

Sofia "Corona" Roberts

Alias: Corona
Real Name: Sofia Roberts
Age: 23
Gender: Female

Appearance:
Sofia is normal. She has an imperfect, averagely proportioned face, a modest pair of breasts, and an averagely slender and fit body type. While she is indeed attractive, she is in a normal, everyday human sense and not an exaggerated anime sense. Off hero duty, you'd hardly give her a second glance if you passed her on the street, but that's part of what gives her her charm. Her above-average (for American white females) height of 5'9" and her long, flowing black hair are her two outstanding physical traits. Her skin is a fair tan, and has the occasional blemish here and there. Her soft blue eyes compliment the denim jackets she typically wears. Her typical, every day outfits are just as unassuming as her physique, primarily composed of denim, a tank top, and some form of casual bottom ranging from blue jeans to a knee-length skirt depending on what she's feeling. She keeps herself in good health and hygiene, taking care to maintain her cosmetic beauty in any means that doesn't take a lot of her time.

Personality:
Sofia is a sly and intelligent individual that, due to her upbringing, is also frequently blunt and free-speaking. She is a very good filter for herself, but her standards for engaging said filter are much more relaxed than most people's. She has fun with her own life choices, and isn't afraid to tell people what she thinks about theirs. Her primary negative emotion is not anger or sadness, but bitterness. She loves a good justice serving but also a good laugh, and can out-drink pretty much anybody.

Regarding heroism, she is "totally down with whatever", often viewing the assignments as a double bonus of having fun and helping people. When she had heroism thrust upon her, she eventually concluded after much deliberation that it "might be a cool side gig".

Short Biography:
Sofia grew up in the lower-income part of Claychester, leading a fairly normal life. Being in the lower-class part of town, she learned street smarts concurrently with book smarts. When she was seventeen, a chemical company with a lab near where she lived began a series of chemical experiments that through human error leaked in large quantities to the local tap water. The effects on those who ingested the substance were widely varied, ranging from nothing at all to almost instant death. The water was quickly decontaminated, but not before Sofia ingested some of the contaminated water at one of her work shifts. When she woke up the next morning she discovered her bedroom lit up with brilliant light, and discovered that it was emanating from her. After having a panic attack for a few minutes, she figured out how to quell the light. Neglecting to tell her parents for fear that they would worry, she soon left for New Skywell to begin a life on her own. For the next six years, she came to grips with her newfound abilities and began to use them for good, because "they're not doing much good just lowering my electric bill." She is currently a well-known heroine in New Skywell (much to her chagrin).

Powers, Skills & Equipment:
Scientists refer to Sofia's genetic mutation as the Hyperion Strand, while Sofia refers to it as that thing she sometimes does. What it is is heliokinesis, or solar manipulation. Sofia has control over the forces of the Sun, and can manifest them in various forms. She can channel solar energy into solar flames, constructs (including on herself, e.g. wings made of solar energy), powerful sun rays and light in general, and more. This power's problem isn't typically having enough power, but channeling the power's potential into an attack that won't destroy half the city. In Sofia's hands this power is a natural fit for doing good, but were she turned evil it would become extremely dangerous.

In Sofia's ideal world, she'd never have to "dress up" to be Corona, and she frequently doesn't when working day to day. However, when the public won't let you rest until you have an outfit, and even the police department asks you to get one, you get one for the sake of your own sanity. Thus, Sofia possesses a super suit (of sorts) that nerds who update superhero wikis call the Apollo Armor. A largely form-fitting suit, the Apollo Armor (pictured at link) is constructed of composites with the goal of lightness over protection. The result is a comfortable, breathable suit that provides zero movement restriction or fatigue from use. The composites provide the body with basic protection from most blunt strikes and bullet resistance from up to 9mm rounds as used by most armed ne'er-do-wells in the city. Its only weak points are two slats in the back that allow for Sofia to protude solar wings through, as she typically does when in the suit. The suit is all gold-colored, and has a radiant shine all over. While it was built with the helmet pictured, Sofia almost never wears it, preferring instead to wear a huge and elaborate gold (not just gold-colored, in this case) winged headdress (looks something like a bigger version of this) that instantly identifies her as the solar heroine. Although it seems odd that the girl who would prefer to never be noticed chooses an elaborate headdress, Sofia figures if she must have a suit, she might as well go big or go home.

Weaknesses:
While Sofia's abilities are very effective against darkness and darkness manipulators, her power level is significantly dependent on the time of day. She is at full strength any time the sun is above the horizon, but her power level is significantly weakened at night for obvious reasons. In addition, a darkness or gravity user strong enough to use black holes could pose a very serious threat to her. In addition, she retains fire's traditional weakness to water, as water and other liquids refract light. As a result, her power is also weakened in a rainstorm, and is the stem of her hatred of all precipitation.

Full Biography

Sofia was born to parents Dave and Candace. Raised in the inner city, lower class part of Claychester, she was learning the ways of the street when not in school being quickly recognized as a bright students. She learned to hang with the big boys and hold her own in a gang attack while she learned trigonometry. She worked an entry level job as soon as she was of working age, earning money for herself and helping out with family expenses. Unlike many heroes, her upbringing was not fraught with tragedy, and her parents and one older brother happily watched as she graduated high school. Only a few weeks had passed since graduation when the nearby chemical plant had a large-scale chemical spill. It was heavily muffled in the media initially, but quickly came to limelight as the tap water in Sofia's district and the surrounding area became contaminated. Disease and death reports began to come in, and the media exploded. Sofia's father became very sick from the water, but recovered. Her mother was unaffected and her brother was long gone to college in Grimmarch. Sofia was also affected, with the contaminated water entering her system causing a chain of reactions and a very specific set of genes to mutate and become Sofia's "Hyperion Strand" (named retroactively by New Skywell scientists) metagene. She began to notice its effects, like when she woke up to find her bedroom bathed in brilliant light far brighter than anything naturally coming in from her single window, but kept them hidden from her parents to keep them from worrying. It wasn't too hard to keep them in the dark, because barely days after she was contaminated was her planned move-out date. Before she left, she and her parents each received checks from the chemical company as an apology and to cover any potential medical expenses. She planned to use the money for its intended purpose if the symptoms kept worsening, but by the time was settled into her apartment in New Skywell she had enough of a tenuous grasp of controlling them that she decided to bank the money and see how these symptoms developed.

After a few weeks of drastically reducing her electric bill by lighting up the place herself, Sofia decided to further explore what she could do, and for the next few months she experimented and trained her newfound abilities. She attempted to be discreet about it, but it's hard when your abilities are all very...bright. High noon became her favorite time of day, and she became more and more thankful that she slept through the night. Eventually, she began searching for people that she could help with her abilities. Quickly she became a vigilante crime hunter in her spare time, desiring no recognition but getting all of it. Three years after she moved to New Skywell, she was one of the city's most popular protectors, and a celebrity of sorts. Ironically the one bathed in sun rays wanted to remain in the shadows. And yet, when asked by a news reporter what her superhero identity was, she had an answer ready. Why?

"If somebody else names me, I know it'll suck."

So she has been known as Corona ever since, little by little coming to accept the celebrity superhero lifestyle. Fortunately, despite all of her recognition, she still appears normal enough that when she is doing normal things nobody notices her as more than just another passerby, and her favorite thing to do is walk through the center of the city at high noon and not be noticed by anyone.

Fun Facts:
- She'd like to say her favorite brand of potato chip is Sun Chips, but she really prefers the taste of Doritos.
- She's technically a lesbian, but romance isn't something she's really interested in.
- She likes to watch Jeopardy and other trivia shows and yell the answers at the contestants.
- She has had numerous offers from the police to join their ranks, but she thinks being a cop would be too restricting so she has never accepted.
- Her preferred snack is chewable Vitamin C tablets, and she always has a bunch of them somewhere on her. She eats them constantly like it's her second job.

Quotes:
"Tights? Please, that's garbage."

"This is real life, not some comic book. If you expect every lady hero to look like Power Girl, you're in for a world of disappointment."

"Did you really just say 'fear my laser face'?" -cackles unashamedly-

Echo

_{"You mean, I can't hit on all the girls? Darn... Are there at least cookies?"}

Alias: Echo
Real name: Scout "Echo" Carter
Age: 22
Gender: Female

Appearance: Standing at a rather tall 5'8" and weighing in at 145 pounds, Scout is mostly muscle. Having been a tomboy most of her life, she's not really used to getting 'dressed up' like other girls. In fact, she hates dresses. The only reason her hair is long is because of her dad who liked her hair so much he refused to let her cut it short like she wanted. Brown eyes are framed by high cheek bones and a soft complexion. Her lips don't usually get chapped considering how much water she drinks on a daily basis. She isn't super health conscious but she knows that water is a must if she's going to play outside all day. Her chest isn't very promonent but she prefers it that way, since bigger boobs would just get in her way. Though, she sort of wishes she had a bigger, more toned butt. You'd think with all the running she did, it would be less... flat.

Scout's uniform in a wellfitted spandex suit. It is orchid purple with a white strip running down the center with her 'Hero Logo' on the front, a set of rings that gradually disappear as they get farther out from the center. She has a few buttons on her suit that when activated release swaths of fabric or tubes that allow her to create different sort of sounds. She'll also carry around a random instrument of some kind that changes from day to day, though she prefers a guitars. She's been known to carry around a sax, a harp, a flute, and even more unconventional instruments like pots and pans and sticks.

However, at start her 'uniform' will simply be her hoodie pictured above, and a purple mask over her eyes. Basically, her uniform at this point would be a rectangle piece of fabric with hole cut for her eyes which she ties around her head.

Personality: Scout grew up in a rather hectic home. Actually, she grew up in an RV/Tour Bus most of her life. Her father was a rock star, a fairly famous one at that. She would have lived with her mother in a steady home had her mother even wanted her around. Scout had never been the most... accomodating child. Scout loved her father and because of him she grew up to be a person who loved life, every moment of it. She's never without a smile on her face, even in some of the worst situations. Usually when she gets down, she pops in her dad's old CDs and falls asleep listening to him. When he died, nothing much on the surface of Scout changed, but behind closed doors, she gets pretty depressed. She likes to be around people mostly because it keeps her mind off of the bad stuff, like the fact that her mother refuses to fund her way through college. Scout flirts, a lot, but mostly because it keeps people from asking if she's okay. Nothing better to change a topic than a quick grope and a slap to the face. Though, she'd have more friends if she kept her hands to herself.

Short Biography: As most heros, Scouts powers came about after a freak accident. One day, when she was fairly little, she was messing with her fathers sound equipment. She was on the stage, while her father and the other band members were all asleep in the old RV, and was pretending to be a rock star like her dad. But, a sudden storm came and with the sounds of the music she was playing drowning it out, Scout didn't even notice it. A lightning bolt came crashing down from the clouds and hit the mic Scout was rocking out on. When she finally came to, she was in the hospital. It didn't seem like much else happened after that. But recently, with her dad's death, her emotions started to get the better of her and her powers began to surface. At first, she didn't really understand what was going on, but eventually she pieced it all together. There was something weird in that storm that gave her these powers. That lightning bolt did something to her, changed her somehow. But what she didn't understand was why it didn't surface until now...

Powers, Skills & Equipment:

-Sound Manipulation: Scout can manipulate the sounds around her. She can create sounds with her mouth and other tools, but can only manipulate them with her mind. The use of her hands to 'mold' the sound waves is only for her to better visualize what she's trying to do. She can't do too much right now except mimic sounds with her own voice, changing the sound waves as they escape her lips, and change sound waves in certain ways like changing the pitch, amplifying sounds, and shifting the sound waves to distort them and the listener. Scout has also found that certain materials break and shatter at certain frequencies and has begun to test and keep a journal of different frequencies needed to break certain materials. The process is quite long and frustrating, however, so she doesn't spend too much time doing it.

-Super Speed: Scout's always been sort of athletic, but her speed is another thing altogether. She can keep up with most cars, even race cars. She can use this speed to create sound waves and create what she calls, "Sound Typhoons" which will hit targets like a brick wall being thrown at them.

Weakness(es):

-Earplugs: Take away Scout's ability to hear, and you take away her ability to manipulate sounds. Same thing with her voice, cause her to become mute and her power is diminished, though not as severely if you took away her hearing.

-Young: Scout still has much to learn about the world around her, much less her own powers.

-No-No Square: On the back of Scouts neck is a strange symbol in the form of a scar. It is a small circle with a strange lightning bolt insignia on it, presumably from the accident. Whenever she touches it, she feels weak and her knees begin to give way and she gets a horrible headache. She often yells at people for trying to give her backrubs, even if she does want one terribly.

-Skirt Chaser: Scout has a thing for pretty girls in cute skirts. Though, she doesn't really like hanging out with them as much as she does the guys. She much prefers getting down and dirty and acts it. She has a foul mouth and likes to play rough, often making jokes that would make even the best of friends a little peeved with her.

Full Biography

Scout was born out of the love affair of a pastor's daughter and an upcoming rockstar. Rachael, wanting to have a bit of fun before she finally gradutated college, had met Ned, the lead singer for his upcoming band, the Skinners. She met him at a party and had had a few too many drinks. Within the next couple of months, she'd graduated thinking she'd never see him again. But, things wouldn't end so nicely for Rachael. She began throwing up in the morning. Luckily, she was in her own apartment so she didn't have to worry about her parents finding out but her sister found the payment sheet from the doctors from when she'd gotten her ultrasound. Rachael had been planning to abort the baby and just let it be swept under the rug her parents refused her, saying that if she didn't have that baby, they'd disown her. And so, she had the baby. But, she refused to name her, telling the doctors of her father. "Just let Ned know. He'll take her."

The next few days, Ned spent his days traveling back to his old hometown to visit a doctor who said he had Ned's child for him. The other band mates were very supportive and even happy for him. Ned wasn't so thrilled. However, that was before he saw her. He saw his baby girl laying in that room with the rest of them, and his heart filled with love for the poor girl. When he picked her up, the deal was sold. He looked up at his mates with the biggest smile they'd ever seen on his face. From then on, she was called Scout and was often joked to be the bands "Talent Scout" and sometimes even came on stage as their mascot. The fans were very receptive to Scout as well, they all loved her. At the end of shows, she'd come out on stage and 'dance' for them in random outfits and even sing for them sometimes.

Then, Scout's accident happened, and Ned saw his life flash before his eyes. From then on, he kept close tabs on Scout, much to her irritation. He even stalked her when she started dating guys. However, Scout soon figured out that she didn't really like guys. They all just reminded her of the guys in the band. Soon, she began dating girls in secret behind her dad's back. She'd always tell him she was just hanging out with her friend. He never even suspected a thing until he walked in on her and her girlfriend at the time in the living room of the Tour Bus. He'd screamed for the girl to get out and had a rather long talk with Scout about lying. She'd expected him to be mad about her preferences but he never even mentioned anything about that. He was more upset that she'd lied to him about it.

From then on, things went fairly smoothly. Ned watched his daughter idly, a soft smile on his face. The other band members started trying to hook her up with 'hot chicks' and stuff like that. It was all pretty nice until it happened. He was on a normal average run to the store from the bus, took a cab. But, the small store was robbed that night and... Ned never made it out. She'd never gotten the full story on what happened, no one seemed to want to tell her even though she was 18, seemingly old enough to know. She was home schooled, so the other band members took charge of her and sent her to school, where she studied vocals. She quit about half way through figuring she already knew all this crap and came back to try and take over the Skinners but by the time she came back, they had all split up. It also didn't help that with her powers, it was a bit hard to make friends. Going to the bathroom was easy and everything sounded nice because she could alter the sounds and she'd always sing perfectly, but she'd lost her drive. Now, she simply wanders, as if something random would spark her interest and give her something to do for awhile.

GODSMITH

Alias: Godsmith
Real name: Hephaestus, now goes by Hyde Sideros
Age: Eternal
Gender: Male

Appearance: (Artwork in the making)
Godsmith is a large man, 6'2'' tall (1.87 m) and very muscular. His complexion is tan with an olive hue, and his skin has a certain metallic shine to it. His face is broad with a particularly sharp jaw and a nose which is straight and regal, but a bit large. His eyes are a soft brown and his hair a pearly white. On his head, his hair is cut very short, in a soldier's style. His beard, on the other hand, is glorious, long as a fist is wide down from his chin and around his mouth, curling as it hides his jaw.

As the average mechanic Hyde Sideros, he wears crude jeans, tough boots, some sort of shirt or sweater and always the same old cap, proudly showing off the logo of Sideros Auto Repair. When he changes into Godsmith, he wears a skintight uniform which is mostly an orange-red hue, but a band of white around his chest and down his arms. A cape is thrown around his shoulders and fastened to the left side of his chest with a golden medallion, featuring the Olympian olive wreath. Around his wrists and shins are steel plates, and a traditional Greek helmet is worn on his head. He releases the flames of his inner forge from his eyes, making them glow with bright flames and further obscuring his face.

Personality:
Godsmith is a god humbled by his life among mortals. He sees us humans, and he sees a passion for life, for success and for meaningfulness that does not exist among the Olympians. Because of this, he has developed a true love for humanity. He is very protective and concerned about people surrounding him. However, Godsmith has problems with the concept of individual freedom. As a god he always reigned over man, and so he thinks people’s right to do whatever they want, even if they hurt themselves, is problematic.

Of course, with a god’s mercy comes a god’s wrath. If anything or anyone threatens the mortals he swears to protect, he will not hold back. Taste the blazing steel of Hephaestus!

Short Biography:
It had been a long time since the Olympians had been worshiped. A damned shame it was, and the Olympians had grown weary. Zeus no longer threw his bolts of lightning with a godly rage, Apollo had no passion while riding the sun across the sky. And Aphrodite was ever the cheating bitch, much to her husband Hephaestus' dismay. One day, Aphrodite had laid her eyes on Poseidon, god of the seas, and he gave into her seduction. Hephaestus was mad, and burst open the door and swung his hammer, Pelekys, across Poseidon's face. At once, the two gods' rage burst into each other, and only the king of gods, Zeus, could stop it. Zeus naturally sided with his brother, and cast Hephaestus down to the mortal realm as punishment. This ended up being no punishment at all, as Hephastus found new joy in his new home, and started his life among them, simultaneously becoming their sworn protector.

Powers, Skills & Equipment:
Hephaestus is the ancient Greek god of metal, fire and smithing. As such, even if he is banished to the realm of mortals, Godsmith has still retained his powers. Firstly, being an Olympian, his physique is in peak condition, being beyond what is attainable by the mortal men. Secondly, his skin is not like that of humans - it is as durable as steel and warm to the touch from his inner forge. But now, without further ado, what makes a god a true Olympian is of course his legendary artifacts.

Pelekys is Godsmith’s two-sided hammer, traditionally used alongside the Olympian forge, but it is also suited for battle. Although he usually keeps it in the shape of a hammer, Godsmith can manipulate its form into any traditional weapon at will. While in the shape of the blacksmith’s hammer, Pelekys can also reforge metals by simply touching them, warming the metal and manipulating it freely.

Tsimpida are Godsmith’s tongs. This is also usually used in the godly forge, but can also prove useful in battle. And projectiles without a solid state, such as lasers or fireballs, can be grabbed by these legendary tongs and can be deflected however Godsmith wishes.

Amoni is Godsmith’s anvil, usually beside the forge. In battle it has a niche use in that it is truly indestructible and also heavier than any object known to man. It can be used in conjunction with the two other tools to create metal from nothingness, something which is truly magnificent.

Additionally, Godsmith wears a tight suit and cape to battle, wanting to be instantly recognizable in order to redirect any threats onto him rather than innocent bystanders. Around his wrists and his shins, He has pieces of steel plating for protection and deflection, but also to have some steel ready to smith. His helmet is of ancient Greek design, made of godly steel.

Weakness:
Being the god of fire, Godsmith is naturally weak to water. It puts out his inner forge, severely weakening him and making him unable to call his artifacts to battle. In the same sense, aquamarine is the gemstone of Poseidon and the sea, and so will penetrate his skin easy as steel through a man.

Fun facts:

• Godsmith still loves wine, as always, but he has discovered a love for South African wines after growing tired of the Greek ones.
• Once in a while he walks around in his home in a toga, missing the comfort it provides.
• His diet is almost entirely based on fruity desserts, food fit for a god!
• He loves old rock music, such as Elvis Prestley and Jimi Hendrix.

Anarchy

Alias: Anarchy
Real name: John Carmichael
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Appearance:
His armor and weapon were taken from a military base in South America while he was working with the freedom fighters there. When incognito he wears a t-shirt and blue jeans, sometimes with an unbuttoned button-up shirt. He is 5'10" tall and weighs 200 lbs, with a well-muscled build. Blue eyes. He has a scar on his left cheek from a fight against the Dictator in which he learned that the Dictator was a Super too. He usually has at least a bit of stubble on his chin, as he rarely has time to shave.

Personality: Absolutely hates bullies and anyone who would force others to do things "their way" without a moral reason. That said, he is always willing to help people in trouble, and to help people free themselves from oppression and the chains put on them by others, both mental and physical. While he rarely interacts with others aside from leading them, when he does interact with others as friends or equals he is understanding and kind. With his lieutenants he is a bit serious, but will laugh at a good joke, especially a practical joke.

Short Biography: When he was a teenager he learned about all of the problems around the world that were caused by people forcing their rules on other people. He got involved in protests against the police and government policies, hoping that peaceful protest would get their attention. At one of demonstrations, however, things turned violent and the police sent out the riot squad to disperse them. When a group of protesters drew weapons and started shooting at the police a firefight broke out. He was hit in the head by a bullet and spent the next week in the hospital undergoing stem cell treatments to repair the damage. He couldn't move or speak for the next week, but he could listen and watch. After a few days he found that he could move slightly, though the doctors said that his motor cortex wasn't repaired enough yet, and that he should be a paraplegic. They chalked it up to a medical miracle, and, when his recovery was complete, he started his rehab. He found that he could do almost everything they wanted him to without as much practice as they thought he would need. In time, he even surpassed what he could do before the accident, reacting to stimuli faster and able to lift more weight than his muscle mass should allow him to.

Powers, Skills & Equipment: "Free your mind": Technically a form of telekinesis, he is able to defy some of the more obvious laws of physics, giving him increased strength, durability, speed, stamina, and reaction speed. With enough concentration he can also fly. This power was mostly covered in the movie "The Matrix," which he thinks may have been influenced by him.
"Break chains": A form of telepahy, he is able to free others from limits of a mental nature, including the results of abuse and trauma. This also covers the mental limits most Supers place on their own power use out of fear of their powers or how society will react to them. He doesn't trust most Supers, though, as many act like they are superior because they have powers.
Escape artist, contortionist, lock picking, hacking (though not decrypting what he finds), MMA focused around dodging, redirecting and looking for weaknesses instead of direct assault.

Weakness: He craves support. If he thinks the people have turned against him, he will lose the will to fight for them. Also, his augmentations are based on his level of concentration. If you can distract him it will weaken him.

He found that he could do almost everything they wanted him to without as much practice as they thought he would need. In time, he even surpassed what he could do before the accident, reacting to stimuli faster and able to lift more weight than his muscle mass should allow him to.
While in rehab he met a man from a country in South America that was run by a dictator. They talked about all of the problems with the country which such a dictatorship caused and, when he was finished with the rehab, he decided to go down there to join the resistance. He traveled there as an American tourist and soon found himself captured by the rebels who hoped to ransom him back to his government for money to fund their rebellion. he explained to them that he had come here to help them and, when they dismissed it as the ramblings of a frightened hostage, he broke the ropes they tied him up with and disarmed anyone who attacked him. He told them that he was a Superhero, there to help free their people from tyranny, and many of them decided to follow him. He made a few rules for his group, including not taking hostages unless they were in the regime and only attacking government targets, and soon he lead his group to the top of the rebellion, hitting military bases and government offices to help the people. They even freed members of other cells from police custody and most of them joined their ranks as well.
One of the rebels they freed was a woman with the somewhat comical name of Maria Garcia. She was also a Super but, when the government found out, they killed her family in the effort to capture her. She only had her photosynthesis left, as she blamed the others for the death of her family. John talked with her and they became friends. She became one of his lieutenants and lead troops in several raids. One day, however, after they had spent hours talking about her family, she leaned over and hugged him, and soon started to glow. It was then that they discovered he could cure trauma and, because of that, could help Supers recover their suppressed powers. He also helped treat psychological problems within his men, earning even more respect. With her powers restored, Maria spent the next few years leading many more attacks, and John eventually promoted her to being his second in command.
After a raid against a government records office they found records which showed that a US Senator was helping the Dictator monetarily. As the one with the most knowledge of the US, John decided to go back and find this Senator, to bring him and anyone else who was helping oppress these people to justice.

Fun facts: He speaks Spanish, which you'd assume given that he spend eight years in South America. His favorite food is snake meat. Also, he meditates every night.

Power Explanation: He can sense movement in matter and alter that movement. If he touches something, it becomes an extension of his body and that lets him change it as well. As all matter is moving if it is above absolute zero, anything nearby above 100K (for now) should be able to be sensed. Also, as the whole Earth is technically connected to him, he could move anything with enough training, but that is decades away at best.
When he connects another mind to his body, he can alter it the same way he can alter his own mind. While he doesn't have the control to alter minute pieces of memory or matter, he can will bad memories to fade a bit and good memories to be amplified.

Blue Shift

Alias: Blue Shift
Real name: Hat-kina Medyn Soor
Age: 21
Gender: Female

Appearance:

Medyn Soor

Standing just over six feet tall with an athletic but deceptively strong form, Medyn Soor looks somewhat human, but as a Xamenidian possesses many alien physical features, including solid colored eyes, light-green skin, thick tendrils in the place of hair, large digitigrade two-toed feet, long three-fingered hands, and the lack of a nose. Her arms, chest, and neck are also covered in striped tribal-esque tattoos. Her superhero outfit is loosely based on an alien pilot uniform she borrowed and failed to return,seen here, which she modified to suit her purposes. As well as modifying the suit to fit her Xamenidian body, she exchanged the black and red for blue and silver (respectively), ditching the loincloth in favor of a blue scarf, and upon arriving on Earth exchanging the full helmet for a lighter, more human-looking one not attached to her costume, which allows her face to be seen, although she protects her eyes with reflective black combat goggles, and allows her 'hair' to hang out the back. Her eyes and tattoos also glow with blue light when her powers are fully in use. When

Personality: Medyn Soor is spontaneous and headstrong, always charging into situations and relying on her instincts and improvisation to get out of them. She is gregarious, quirky, and infectiously likable, and she won't hesitate to speak up when she sees something she thinks is wrong. She also has a flair for the dramatic and enjoys performing flash, acrobatic combat maneuvers over short and to the point finishing moves, and she would be lying if she said she didn't enjoy the popularity that comes from being a superhero. She chose to become a crime-fighter because she likes inspiring people with her heroic actions. She also forgives easily and is always willing to give a second chance, realizing that good people sometimes need to do bad things.

Short Biography: Hat-kina Medyn Soor is an alien princess from the distant planet of Xamenid, a relatively peaceful world renowned for its beauty and culture. Finding the rigors of palace life stifling and boring, she regularly slipped out of the palace starting at a young age, exploring the lower class dwellings in disguise to watch the Stellaris Races, an immensely popular and incredibly dangerous sport involving high speed starship racing across the surfaces of dangerous planets and moons. When she was thirteen, she sneaked into a hanger to look at an experimental new Stellaris starship engine, but it exploded and the energy from the explosion gave her superpowers. She used her powers to become a Stellaris pilot at a young age, thanks to her heightened abilities, and became immensely popular and successful. However, a spiteful rival betrayed her identity and plotted to have her kidnapped by an enemy of her planet, only for her to escape and crash landed on Earth. Since then, she's hidden out on Earth and taken up the occupation of a full time superhero, finding it comparable to her old career as a Stellaris pilot.

Powers, Skills & Equipment: Much of Medyn Soor's physical abilities were increased drastically after her accident with the prototype engine. Her strength, durability, and especially her speed, energy, and agility were boosted to what would be the peak of human condition. She is able to send a punch through a thin brick wall, deflect blades with her bare hands, move fast and accurately enough to dodge automatic weapons fire, and can remain active without getting fatigued for much longer then normal. Her mind also processes physical stimuli at a much faster rate then ordinary humans, meaning she can react to sudden sounds and sights much more quickly then expected. Outside of her superpowers, her species is also quite adept at swimming, and while her intelligence is unremarkable, she's pretty good with a wrench and knowledgeable about engineering, owing to her Stellaris Racing experience. Medyn Soor is also a veteran pilot, and has her own personal starship the Im-Dra, or the Azure Wave in "humanspeak". It has no onboard weaponry and is not meant for prolonged combat, but as anyone who's seen the Stellaris Races can testify, the ships they use need to have some really good armor on them just to stay alive in the first lap. She mostly uses it for transportation, and occasionally utilizing it to propel herself into a fight for a suitably dramatic entrance. The ship also has a basic autopilot system which she can use to summon the Im-Dra to her side.

Weakness: Medyn Soor doesn't do well in arid environments. Her home world is heavily aquatic, and while her superpowers do keep her alive longer then normal, her superhuman abilities will degrade if she is dehydrated for too long, and she will eventually fall unconscious and die.

Full Biography:

All the Beans

Hat-kina Medyn Soor comes from the distant world of Xamenid, a peaceful, spacefaring world with a kingdom built on interplanetary trade. The Xamenidians are somewhat notorious for their strict caste system, which generally serves to separate the wealthy elite ruling class from everyone else, with said wealthy elite living in luxurious and beautiful locations on the planet surface and the lower and middle classes living in less desirable locations on the planet or in sprawling, cosmopolitan satellite cities far overhead. Medyn Soor was born to one of the wealthy families, and after a brief succession crisis put her childless aunt on the throne, she was named the crown princess of Xamenid. This of course meant that she grew up in the lap of luxury, with every need and want fulfilled and a guarantee of safety and comfort for the rest of her life.

Strangely enough, such a life was never appealing to Medyn Soor, even at a young age. She never much enjoyed all the rituals and appropriate recreational activities for someone of her social status and craved something more exciting in her life. Such an idea seemed hopeless, but when she was eight years old and attending yet another gala thrown to impress and entertain a foreign dignitary, she happened to meet the dignitary's teen-aged daughter, who promised to show her something really exciting. Smuggling her off the planet to one of the massive urban satellites overhead, the dignitary's daughter took a disguised Medyn Soor to see the Stellaris Racing competition held that day. The Stellaris races were an immensely popular sport all across the known galaxy, involving high-speed and incredibly dangerous starship races across strange alien worlds and landscapes, and Medyn Soor fell in love with them almost instantly. She began following all the races with a religious fervor, regularly sneaking out of the palace to watch them in secret , learning by heart all the technical terminology behind the races, and secretly dreaming that one day she would get the chance to race herself. She also became more comfortable with the crime-rife, squalid environments of the satellite cities, over time even beginning to see them as a second home and even making a few friends with the "unwashed masses", as some of her auntie's courtiers called them. Then when she was thirteen, she heard rumors that her favorite Stellaris pilot was going to be debuting an experimental prototype engine, she knew she just had to get a look at it before everyone else did.

Her plan was simple. She would "borrow" a pilot uniform to wear, sneak into the hanger where the car was kept, and fawn over the fancy new hardware. Everything went as planned, and donned in the form-fitting red suit, she crept into the secret hanger and saw the blue glow of the new engine for the very first time. Mere sightseeing wasn't enough for her though, so she quickly jumped into the pilot seat to switch it on, eager to see the new engine running. The engine roared to life, and Medyn Soor was ecstatic, happily gunning the engine a little bit to listen to the sound of it running. When she got out of the vehicle, however, her foot caught on one of the control levers which accidentally backed the vehicle into the wall, cracking the engine casing, throwing her against the wall, and alerting the staff two rooms over to her presence. Panicking and shell-shocked, Medyn Soor scrambled to her feet and tried to scan the room for an escape route, before hearing a strange hissing noise and turning to look at the damaged engine. She barely had time to utter a swearword before the engine block exploded, showering her with the blue plasma powering the ex-engine, transforming her body and propelling her through two sets of walls. The blue plasma worked quickly, and in her blind panic Medyn Soor didn't even realize that the she was unharmed and still on her feet after being propelled through the walls, and simply ran away, only pausing when she realized that she had been running nonstop for much longer than normal, and wasn't even out of breath yet. Overwhelmed by her new super-senses, she tore off the helmet and clutched at her head in confusion, then got a glance at her reflection in a puddle of fetid water on the ground. She didn't have a scratch on her from the chaotic explosion, and her eyes were glowing blue.

It took her a month or two to come to terms with her strange new abilities, and learning to use them while also learning to control them and keep them hidden from her royal family took even longer, but when she felt she had mastered said abilities, she began thinking of what she could us them for. Looking at the pilot suit she still had from when she was involved in the accident that gave Medyn Soor her new abilities, she got a very interesting idea. She had come to terms with the fact that she would never be able to become a Stellaris pilot a while ago, understanding that by the time she became old enough to even begin training, she would not be able to balance that with her royal duties, and even if she could, such a huge breach of class structures would create a scandal big enough to bring down the entire monarchy, and Medyn Soor would never forgive herself for doing that. But now? With her new abilities, she could easily be a match for the honed reflexes and veteran instincts of the best Stellaris pilots, perhaps even surpassing them, so why not use them for a few years of living out a pipe dream before she settled into monarchical rule? Realizing she needed a disguise, Medyn Soor planned out her alternate identity as a mysterious new Stellaris Racer from a distant planet far beyond known space, tailored the "borrowed" pilot suit to fit her and match her new blue color scheme, selling some of her ugly yet expensive dresses to get the money for a starship, and entered in the next Stellaris Races as the mysterious and heroic Blue Shift.

Blue Shift became an overnight sensation in the Xamenidian League Circuit after the very first race, coming in third place ahead of many experienced Stellaris pilots. No newcomer had ever finished so far ahead on their first match, let alone one that was as young as she was. For five years Blue Shift became a public sensation, appearing only to compete in the races, wowing spectators with death-defying stunts and impossible come from behind finishes, and vanishing shortly afterwards. Medyn Soor could not be happier with her secret identity of a famous Stellaris pilot, and she loved not only the thrill of the races or the prestige of victory, but the inspiration that her victories gave the downtrodden people of Xamenid. And of course her royal family had no idea what she was doing, they were just happy that she was so happy all the time. But of course, this was an arrangement that wasn't meant to last.

Most of the other Stellaris pilots liked or at least begrudingingly respected Blue Shift, admiring her commitment to the sport at such a young age and her charismatic attitude. The Stellaris pilot and noble Merco de Vesocia, however despised the young upstart, no matter how talented she was. She had snatched first place from his clutches one too many times, and his hatred for the populist brat knew no equal. Unafraid to resort to dirty tactics, he had his servants investigate Blue Shift, and quickly discovered her identity as the crown princess of Xamenid, Hat-kina Medyn Soor. It would be so satisfying to reveal her identity to the royal family and watch the brat be dragged kicking and screaming back home, but his hatred was so intense that he felt the need to punish not only her but the entire royal household as well. Thus he leaked her identity to the Aaru Dominion, an empire inhabiting a nearby system that was in a power struggle with the Xamenids over control of trade in the region. With Vesocia's help, they plotted to kidnap the princess during the races and use her as a bargaining chip to force the Xamenids to transfer their trade power for her safe return. Then the Dominion would kill the princess anyway, the Xamenids would collapse economically and politically, and the Dominion would swoop in and conquer them. They sent their best starfighters and a squadron of troops to apprehend Blue Shift. The plan failed when the crowd swarmed the soldiers to protect their hero, and the other Stellaris pilots interfered with the Aaru starfighter's pursuit, letting Medyn Soor escape via lightspeed travel. The damage taken during the fight and the sudden jump to lightspeed, however, meant that Medyn Soor couldn't quite control the ship, and she managed to crash hard on a tiny blue planet called Earth.

Medyn Soor and her starship were quickly apprehended by the extraterrestrial affairs agency Overwatch Twelve, who nursed Medyn Soor back to health after her traumatic crash, managed to repair the damage to her ship, and established communication with her, letting her explain who she was and where she had come from. She realized that she couldn't leave the planet because the Dominion might still be looking for her, and she asked for asylum, which was granted without hesitation. Boredom soon set in again without the exciting distraction of Stellaris racing, and even her occasionally assisting Overwatch Twelve in their activities wasn't enough to shake the feeling of dissatisfaction. An agent she complained about this to couldn't understand why, in his words "you would ever be bored with these kinds of powers. I mean, you're like a superhero, aren't you?"

A superhero. The concept was intriguing to Medyn Soor, and she began to study the idea more thoroughly. It never occurred to her to use those amazing abilities she got from the exploding engine to fight crime, and she couldn't understand why. Being a hero looked like just as much fun as being a Stellaris pilot, and the inspired cheers for the superhero who saved the day reminded her so much of the cheers Blue Shift received when she made a narrow first place finish. Working with a few field agents she had befriended during her time at the secret base, she convinced the O12 High Command to set her up with a place to live and work as the superhero Blue Shift based in New Skywell. The High Command agreed, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Fun facts:
-Medyn Soor is a big eater, and her favorite meal is sushi.
-Medyn Soor also enjoys hanging upside down, which her species can do indefinitely without passing out. She finds it soothing.
-Being a Xamenidian, she of course loves swimming.
-She's become an aspiring Trekkie since arriving on Earth. Her favorite movie is Star Trek: First Contact.
-She has a pet ferret as a gift from one of her agent friends. She named him Worf.
-She still occasionally has trouble with English, or "Humanspeak" as she erroneously calls it.

Dryad

Alias: Dryad.
Real name: Gorm Daronga.
Age: 134 standard earth years.
Gender: None, male type personality.

Appearance: Gorm is roughly the size of a large, muscular, male human. But that is where the similarities end. He is a plant, and looks like a tree specifically grown to mimic a human. He has a face similar to ours, a mouth than he can talk through, a nose to smell with and eyes to see. He lacks any sort of body hair or nails, but can grow claw-like spikes at the ends of his “fingers” if a need should arise. Basically, he does anything he can to look as human as possible. To hide his identity he goes for the old “trenchcoat, hat and glasses”, which works better than he could imagine.

image

Personality: Gorm is a very friendly person who will always help those who befriend him in any way he can. He is not very talkative, and will mostly think anything he says through thoroughly before speaking. With this out of the way Gorm is a very confident and straight-to-the-point kind of guy.
Gorm finds humans very interesting, as they are some of the first advanced animals he’s come across and takes great interest in the dumbest things. He regularly reads the newspapers, scanning the pages for the section where readers are allowed to submit their opinions and advice. Religion is another hobby of Gorm’s, not as a believer, but the mere practice of dividing the human race into segments depending on which superhuman entity they think is the coolest is fascinating.
If possible, Gorm would like to bring a few humans to his sanctuary, he feels that they would like it there, and it would be interesting to see if they would be able to breed with a creature from another dimension.

Short Biography: Gorm is a dimensional traveller from another earth. His earth is dying fast due to an environment turning hostile. He came to this earth in search of artifacts for his sanctuary, a dimension currently free of life, but which will support it. While this earth has some severe problems with nature, there are more pressing issues that he will help with as well. In return, he expects help from his new super-friends with gathering the artifacts.

Powers, Skills & Equipment:
Gorm’s race has evolved from sentient plants instead of creatures. This race has travelled to this dimension many times before and shared their culture which explains how tree-worship is so common. Apart from dimensional travel, Gorm can also meld with any material he comes into contact with, either by changing his own cells into the material, or the slightly more advanced technique of going into the material itself and move around freely.

Powers

Superhuman strength - Many martial artists and body builders are said to have muscles of wood, or legs like tree trunks. For Gorm, this is true, and with his extra weight he can both pack a mean punch and easily move or lift things that humans would need advanced machines for.

Plant growth - Gorm is a living plant, and can therefore grow as he wishes. He can even transform his own body entirely if there should be a need for it. So far he has kept a basically humanoid body, but could create an extra pair of arms, a tail, spikes, stingers, vines… Anything, given enough sunlight and water. This growth is super-accelerated compared to the natural growth of plants in this dimension. An arm would take about three minutes to grow from scratch.

Dimensional travel - Gorm’s race can travel to other dimensions at will. This is because they are rooted into the essence of the earth and the dimensions are only different perspectives to his race. While he moves in one dimension he will also move in all the others.

Melding 1 - The cells that make up Gorm’s body is fundamentally different to those found in this dimension. They can change at will into pretty much any substance or material, ledning all pros and cons of that material to Gorm. There must be present a large enough sample for this to work. At least enough to be held in both hands.

Melding 2 - This more advanced technique builds upon the first melding. Gorm’s cells will take on the properties of the material, and this will allow him to “go into” the material at will. Note that the material must exist in enough quantity to allow Gorm’s whole body to fit.

Skills

Biology A-student - While Gorm is not in detail familiar with this dimension or its flora and fauna, he does possess a deep understanding of its basic principles and can therefore deduce much information from very little, but he might be using the wrong words for humans to understand as well..

Plant empathy - Because Gorm is a plant, he shares an empathic bond with many plants just like a human would with a dog or a cat.

Sapling - Gorm can combine his anatomy with any plant in any dimension and “take over” their properties permanently.

Equipment

Nothing to speak of.

Weakness:
Plant body - As a plant Gorm have no need of food, but can survive entirely on water and sunlight. This of course means that if he is cut off this these power sources he would quickly lose power and die within a few days. Fire is also a big hazard.

Strange priorities - Gorm is an explorer, and close to what humans call a “scientist”. Sometimes he’ll do strange stuff.

Full Biography

Gorm never chose to be hero, he still hasn’t. He never became superhuman, he was born this way, just like millions of other dimensional travellers that have visited the human dimension in the past.

Gorm comes from a dimension of earth where the entire planet is dominated by plant life, animals are very few, and most of them are not even as evolved as our insects. this earth is stable, and rides around the sun in a smooth circular orbit, flanked by two moons. The moons orbit perfectly on each side of the planet, making floods almost a non-issue. In the middle of the largest continent stands the world tree. A massive thing several kilometers high and with a crown large enough to cover almost half the continent in darkness. Seven large roots seeks out each of the world seas to provide the tree with an almost unlimited amount of water. On land these roots are as tall as the highest wall, effectively dividing the land into six countries.
On the ground underneath it huge crown falls the seeds, and these are swallowed by the earth for many years before they too take root. They spew out long tendons which seeks out one of the seven great roots to share the water. As these seeds grow, they will eventually lose the need for these tendons, and once they are cut, the plant gains the ability to move around freely, unbound by the earth. Every seed the world tree drops has a mind, but it is empty, and naive. With the water from one of the seven seas comes experience, and the body of the grown plant is altered. Plants that has sucked salty water are pale and gangly, but rich with expressions, while plants that has drank from the clean underwater lakes grow big, but their minds are still young.
It is unknown to Gorm and his fellows if the world tree itself is sentient, it has never given any sign of it.

A few hundred years ago an asteroid hit earth, it landed in one of the world seas and caused a terrible tsunami that swept far into the large continent. Many plants drowned in the water, of were ripped apart by the force of the wave.
After that, the space rock sat at the bottom of the ocean for a while, not long, then it cracked, and something seeped out. The ocean turned pink in only a few weeks. Seaweed and plankton died en masse, and were replaced with tiny bacteria that fed on their bodies. Once they had fed, they started to fill the air with chemicals. A heavy smog rolled in from the sea, blocking the sunlight and killing smaller plants. Gorm and his companions climbed high up into the world tree to escape, and saw the entire planet enveloped in the noxious fumes. One by one trees, bushes, flowers, grass and weeds died, only the world tree and its children were spared, for now.

High up, a meeting was held, a solution must be found, or else they’d all die as well. The world tree already showed signs of illness. To save the tree and themselves they would all leave this dimension and search for one which could still support life, and bring the world tree there.
Gorm and his fellows travelled for many years. First in groups, but as they travelled through an infinite number of alternative earths they scattered. Gorm met many unusual things during this time, and he remembers it fondly.
One day Gorm stepped through the barrier into an empty planet. There was nothing around except for land, mountains, lakes and rivers. He had stumbled upon a perfect earth, one that for some reason hadn’t been able to spawn its own life even though everything needed was there.
He remembered where he was and set out again. He found his people and melded with them so that they would know as well. Each kept travelling for some time, to make sure that everyone still alive had heard the wonderful news. Then they all met at home.

The plan was as simple as it was unbearably hard. They would travel to a watery world and fill themselves with water. Then they would go back, and cut off the seven huge roots that connected the world tree to the earth. This was the dangerous part. If the tree died, no one knew what would happen, once uprooted, would they still be able to travel to a safe place? They had to take the chance.
Once the tree was free, everyone would hold on, and at the same time travel to the sanctuary and there they would set the world tree down and use their water to grow new roots for the tree.

Life felt strangely boring after that. Before, the days were filled with gardening, philosophy, scientific study, mapping of the planet and stars (all of which had to be redone) and many other things. But after spending the better part of a century jumping from one strange place to the next, staying in one place, doing the same things as before, it just felt boring. Also, being the only form of life on the planet didn’t help.
Many of his companions agreed, they needed more life, otherwise there could be no real ecosystem. Some of them began to travel again, Gorm one of them. They wished to find interesting plants and animals to fill their new earth with.

Gorm stepped into the human dimension late at night and managed to slip into trouble within a minute. He was in a large jungle somewhere, and it was filled to the brim with strange and interesting life forms. In the distance he heard a rumbling sound and walked toward it to see what it was. As he was about to walk through a large bush a great metal sword came through and took his right arm clean off.
Terrified, Gorm instantly turned and took off at his best speed. He didn’t even worry about the arm, he had plenty of water and could grow a new one later.
A scream pierced the droning sound and made him turn, that was not a good scream.
You could tell a lot from a scream, even if you didn’t hear all of it. For instance, there was a world of difference between a scream that said “Help, I’m backed in a corner and he has a knife!” and a scream that said “Help, I’m drunk out of my skull, have stepped on my own fingers and can’t get up!”
This scream was closer to the first one.

Not one to ignore someone (or thing) in danger, Gorm turned around and headed back. From afar he now saw great metal machines with sawblades attached on long arms, one of them had poked through the bush. All of the machines were lined up nicely, but one was in front of the line, and still going. In a glass compartment on top was some form of biological life form, but it seemed to be asleep, unconscious or dead. Other, similar life forms left their machines and came running for the rogue, but couldn’t seem to find a safe way to climb onto the thing. There was a river not far ahead, a pretty deep one as well, if they couldn’t help their companion it would probably end up in the water and drown.
Gorm did what he had to. He stepped into the river and rooted himself as far as he would go. He had placed himself directly in front of the machine and as expected, the thing hit him with full force. The machine nearly broke Gorm in half, but somehow he managed to hold it. The creatures were able to get their friend out, and were breathing easy. Thanking luck that a tree was growing in the middle of the river just like that. Gorm let the machine go, and ran away as the huge thing was half swallowed and half carried away by the water.

Gorm spent some time in the jungle, learning about this earth. Then he stepped out and made his presence known. Surprised that the humans he’d revealed himself to hadn’t been very surprised. They said that superhumans walked the earth. Mechanical monsters, visitors from other planets, ancient gods and mutants.

Interesting...

Fun facts:
Gorm hates “save the environment”-activists, they are worried about nonsense.

Gorm can eat just like a human, he just doesn’t like the taste of food in this dimension.

Gorm once visited a dimension currently in an ice age and nearly died.

Gorm loves the sound of people playing ping-pong.

If he’s fed with dyed water, Gorm will change colour.

Gorm has never been peed on by a dog.

Danny West

Alias: Frankenstein
Real name: Danny West
Age: 4
Gender: Male

Appearance: A 7 ft tall, barrel chested, beefy armed, thick necked, hulk of a man. His hair is short, jet black, and constantly spiked out in all directions because of static electricity. His skin is blue and crisscrossed with numerous surgical scars that indicate extensive surgery. He has two bolts sticking out of both sides of his neck, and three protruding from between each knuckle. He doesn't wear shirts often, will never wear sleeves, and wears short almost exclusively. He has a long chain wrapped up around one arm, up down to his elbow.

Personality: Danny approaches all things with a strange mixture of Déjà vu and awe, like he has seen something before but is super excited to see it just one more time. If it's something really cool, like a laser beam, a giant, or a dinosaur, he'll want to see it no matter how dangerous it might be. He is essentially a giant child who wants to be a superhero because it allows him to see, do, and experience amazing things.

He's ruled by his emotions, especially anger, and is extremely naive. The kind of person that really believes that you can just punch all the badguys to make the world a better place, and that all the big bad guys wear costumes so you can identify them for punching.

There are two things he respects above all others: the words of his father and sanctity of life. He vaguely remembers that dying is a bad, bad thing and will do anything he can to keep someone else from experiencing it.

Despite the intimidating figure he cuts Danny is actually very friendly. He loves to tell stories and hear them in return, typically subjecting anyone he meets to a nigh endless stream of questions about their life while listening in rapped attention. If they decide to answer, that is. Danny's isn't the most tactful person on the planet.

Danny can typically be found doing odd jobs, trying to earn pocket money to pay for things he either wants or wants to see. Music events, movies, zoos, museums, these are the sort of places you can frequently find him. He's particularly vulnerable to tourist traps. If he's penniless he makes his own fun exploring the area.

Short Biography: Danny is an experiment in creating life from death, created by a very irate scientist. Unlike his namesake, however, the Doctor considered the creature his son and set about raising him into a proper young man. After teaching Danny the essentials of walking, reading, speaking, understanding social ques, and to always undertake his tasks with gusto he realized the boy was getting restless and decided to let him spread his wings. After building Danny a car and telling him that he could be either God or the Devil, he didn't care which, he sent his creation out to see the world for the first time with the stern warning that should the press or the cops ever show up on his doorstep Danny would be cut off. Since then Danny has been "living," as it were, out of his car and sustaining himself by climbing power lines and grabbing on.

Powers, Skills & Equipment:

--Electricity: Danny runs on an internal supply of electricity. The electricity can be expended to perform various feats. He can discharge it through the air, pump it directly into something, electromagnetize himself, or push his muscles beyond their limits. In the event that he is dismembered he can ever connect to his limbs with a stream of electricity to puppet them remotely.

---Super Undead Physiology: Danny is really strong to begin with, easily capable of lifting a family sedan all on his own. When expending electricity he could do the same to a tank or full 18-wheelrer, trailer and all. He is also capable of great leaps, able to clear a two story building unaided and a five story expending electricity. He is able to exceed the land speed of a car on foot. This is helped by the fact that, under normal circumstances, Danny just flat out does not get tired. He doesn't need air, food, water, or sleep and could run for up to three straight weeks without stopping to rest. While he still feels pain, and heals at the rate of a normal person, Danny can survive things that would kill a normal person outright. He is incapable of going into shock and does not bleed.

--Mechanic: Danny is quite good at repairing motor vehicles.

--The Frankenwagon: Danny's vehicle of choice, a loud black hotrod with lighting lovingly painted where flames would normally go. Built by Danny and his creator, the car has an emergency battery good for one full charge-em-up. It's modified for Danny's size so he can drive it comfortably. He doesn't have a lot of practical experience behind the wheel.

--The Chain of Pain!: Danny can use his chain like a lasso and weapon "just like Castlevania."

Weakness: Danny's electricity is an internal supply and acts sort of like his blood. He grows slower, weaker, and dumber the more it is used up, and will die again should it ever reach 0%. By his creators calculation, using electricity to supercharge his physical abilities deplete it at a rate of 2% every second, with discharges varying depending on how large they are. Danny can recharge from a source of electricity, and left without the ability to do so will only survive approximately three weeks. He can not use his electric abilities when submerged in water or touching something that conducts electricity easily, lest it drain out at an incredible rate. He obviously can not use any electric abilities while touching another person unless lest he electrocute them.

Maybe not a weakness specific to him, but despite his ability to function with nominally fatal injuries he can not survive the destruction of his brain.

Full Biography

Herbert West, eminent surgeon, had heard all the jokes and for a few long years his fondest wish was finding a practice where no one had ever heard of either H.P.Lovecraft or Jeffrey Combs. That was before a group of vampires took over his hospital and forced him to perform experimental surgery on one of their own (the creatures head had been violently severed for its body and its cohorts insisted he "put it back"). This traumatic experience with some of the most famous monsters of Gothic horror perhaps piqued his curiosity and pushed him toward finally deciding to embrace his destiny. One dark, stormy night in his stately New England manor house he cracked open an old book to see if maybe Mary Shelly had been onto something.

Using John Does from the local morgue he set about his dark work, experimenting in his basement to create life. He succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

The first year was rough. He obviously couldn't let Danny out of his house because, let's face it, that would raise some very uncomfortable question about where he'd come from. Fortunately he'd recognized where Frankenstein had gone wrong. What he had here was a child, and he resolved to treat it like one. His development was remarkable. In six months he was coordinated enough to let out of the basement, within the year he was speaking. within the next he and his father were talking shop about vintage cars and arguing about the quality of giant robot television shows. Despite these mutual loves Danny eventually grew listless, wondering about the world outside their door. Herbert realized that he had to let his boy spread his wings come what may, and sent him off in the car they'd built together to seek his fortune. Since then he's been riding across the country, occasionally foiling evildoers in the towns he's passed through. He's never actually been in a big city before.
