Also hi everyone!

@Crusader Lord

Hello and welcome! Glad you decided to join us and that your problem resolved itself, haha.

《 H.E.R.O. 2064 》

The Rocketeers

^{Date of Founding: 2062
Leader: Sam Everett
Status: At Large
Danger Level: High}

O R I G I N
The Rocketeers were founded in the wake of significant budget cuts to the US military after the 2060 election cycle, with the most significant area being targeted was human personnel. Advances in AI made robots more reliable and much more advantageous, both militarily and politically, than human soldiers. As such, the US military discharged many soldiers from active duty. Some ex-soldiers took up jobs in other fields, some went back to school, some entered police forces or private security, but a distinct sliver of disgruntled military men decided that the best way to make ends meet was through less scrupulous means. With some old foreign connections and a little bit of black-market dealing, the Rocketeers were armed and ready to go.

C R I M E S
The Rocketeers have been responsible for numerous grand larcenies, preferring to loot valuable cargo from vehicles heading in and out of Castleburg and re-selling them on the black market. The Rocketeers have expanded from semi-trucks and small hovercraft to taking on Castleburg's bullet train system, staging raids and picking apart entire chains of trains with their weaponry, before retreating into the sky. The Rocketeers are not, like many criminal organizations tend to be, complacent or greedy. The money they make is carefully invested back into the criminal group to get new and better equipment.

E Q U I P M E N T
The Rocketeers are well-armed and well-prepared for each raid. Every member of the Rocketeers is equipped with head-to-toe armor, including a helmet that has built-in lock-on aiming and facial recognition software, and the get-up is well-insulated from damage. Each Rocketeer is armed with a T-54 Jungle Beast assault rifle, a high-tech weapon that fires bursts of condensed plasma that can tear through human flesh, though the black-market guns are prone to overheating. Rocketeers also wield the T-15 Ranger, an older sidearm variant that fires conventional bullets, and a razor-sharp combat knife. Their most deadly weapon, however, is their namesake, the Red Rocket, a single-shot portable RPG that obliterates with a powerful homing missile.

O R G A N I Z A T I O N
Rocketeers operate as a band of brothers, with a majority of Rocketeers holding the same rank and power structure in the organization. A few more gifted Rocketeers, however, hold the leadership position of Commando, calling the shots and leading the charges into chaos, and the chief of these Commandos, the Captain, is the ultimate authority in the Rocketeer organization. While every member has a say in the plan, the decision of the Commandos is always final. The Rocketeers are incredibly disciplined and have impeccable planning, operating under the same military principles that they learned in basic training and applying it to crime.

Captain Sam Everett

"I'm here to kick some ass, so form a line."

At first glance, Samantha Everett is not the type of girl you would think would run such a capable, dangerous, militaristic organization as the Rocketeers. She's 5'3" or maybe 5'4" if you're generous, and while muscular, just doesn't have a lot of height. She has a bit of a babyface, despite being 24 years old, and has an annoying squeaky voice that she has a voice modifier in her helmet to specifically counteract. Still, there is a reason why the pirate Rocketeers respect her- because Sam Everett is a nutcase.

Born into a wealthy family that produced Everett Soda, Sam always wanted to stand out and be different, and she did. She cut her hair, worked out, listened to heavy metal; she was pretty much your clear-cut tomboy. Most criminologists studying Everett's case file agree that the turning point for the heiress was in a high-speed hovercar drag race that gave her a severe concussion. The potential brain damage might have flicked on a switch that turned the tomboyish female into a crime machine. Whether it be nature or nurture, Sam went nuts. As soon as she turned 18, her first act as an adult was to smash an Everett Soda transport truck through a bank wall and dry the entire credit union clean. She used the money from the massive heist to float around off the radar for a while, picking up hit jobs and other contract work for criminals for a few years.

Sam later received a call from discharged Marine and former friend, Templeton Astair, who offered her a position as his partner in a criminal group he was founding, the Rocketeers. Sam agreed, but soon after forming, organized a coup d'etat against Templeton. After beating her 'partner' to death with a lead pipe in front of his former men, Sam assumed sole control of the Rocketeers. Talk about ambition. Sam has been the leader of the Rocketeers since, the only member of the organization to hold the title 'Captain.'

Outside of crimes committed as a Rocketeer, Sam Everett has been linked to 17 other murders and 21 robberies across New York State. Her style isn't exactly subtle- it involves simply having more firepower than your opponent and pulling the trigger faster. Sam has no known superpowers.

《 H.E.R.O. Archives: An Abbreviated History of Superheroes 》
_{Greetings, prospective hero. My name is ALISA and I will be guiding you through the application process here at HERO. First, a brief lesson in our history is in order.}

---

> > > Year 1764: The Beginning < < <

300 years ago, to the date, one of the strangest scientific anomalies in history occurred. A massive meteor jettisoned towards Earth at breakneck speeds, only to dissolve as soon as the meteor entered the atmosphere. What astronomers of the time prophesized as a bringer of doom to the human species appeared to have just been a simple near-miss. Life went on for a short while, until the scientists, and people all around the world, realized that the meteor, termed the 《 X-200 Meteor 》, had left something in its wake.

The meteor, upon dissolution, had released clouds of purple dust that had caused mutations in select numbers of fauna, flora, and most importantly, humans. These genetic mutations gave this specific group- only about 5-7% of the world's population, at the time- what is called the "Hero Gene." The Hero Gene runs in families and grants all sorts of superpowers. Some people grew wings, some people could spit fire, some people could cause countries to experience earthquakes, and some people could cause yeast to rise faster. All sorts of new powers came about from this revelation, and it led to one of the greatest paradigm shifts humanity has ever seen.

> > > 1770 - 1790: Formative Years < < <

The new class of "superhumans" came to recognize the implications of their newfound abilities much faster than the world governments did. The first "villains" and "heroes" were just superpowered crooks and ragtag groups of superpowered neighborhood watchmen, essentially. Small bands of these heroes duked it out with the early iterations of supervillains, and also did battle with "Leftovers," a blanket term for the creatures that had become affected by the X-200 meteor and had adopted (often hideous) super-mutations of their own. This kind of rampant havoc was troublesome, to say the least. Representatives from the major world powers of the time held a summit to determine how to address this new problem. The 1791 Austria Convention would reshape how the world thought of this new term of “superheroes.”

> > > 1791 - 1879: Heroes Gone Global < < <

The 1791 Austria Convention laid down a method of organizing the new “superhero” groups. The world was carved into regions, where each respective area would be responsible for administering a “hero company,” a governmental division of superheroes that worked for the government and fought to preserve the peace. All the hero companies would be linked to a single entity known as ICOSA, the International Council on Superhuman Affairs, centered in Vienna, the first real transnational governing body in human history.

This original convention was, in short, a failure, or at least, it wasn’t as successful as it could’ve been. The world was rife with tensions, and as such, the powers bestowed upon ICOSA were incredibly weak, with most of the power given to the individual nations. These individual nations used their respective hero companies less to police supervillains and more as cudgels for their enemies. Because of this, heroes were rarely around to actually help fight villains and more often that not doing battle against Napoleon or helping quash rebellions or pillaging villages in the Scramble for Africa. Superheroes, at this point in time, were not viewed very well, and would continue to be viewed poorly by the general public for almost a century. This was a dark period of superheroes, and after a coordinated series of supervillain terrorist attacks in the 1870s, combined with atrocities committed in the Crimean War of Europe and American Civil War, the international community reconvened for a second conference, this time in Geneva.

> > > 1879 - 1945: Reform and Readjustment < < <

The 1879 Geneva Convention moved the meeting grounds of ICOSA a thousand kilometers west to Geneva, Switzerland, and established new rules and legislation that redefined superheroism. Superheroes were no longer to be tools of the military, and were limited in their parameters to solely be guardians, not soldiers. Hero companies were forbidden from going to war and ICOSA enacted a series of hefty guidelines that every HERO company had to follow, lest they be punished by ICOSA. ICOSA was still a mostly laissez-faire organization, giving individual companies a great deal of autonomy and freedom to run things as they so choose, but finally began to crack down on the usage of superheroes as tools of war. From this point on, the public image of superheroes began to improve dramatically. Though Switzerland’s neutral position in both world wars meant that there were no superheroes to be serving on the frontlines, the imagery of the spandex-covered superhero finally began to take hold of the public. When the world emerged from World War 2, there was one image that remained untainted by the cynicism of the world, and that was of superheroes.

> > > 1945 - 2050: The Golden Age of Superheroes < < <

The next century or so is considered the golden era of superheroes. Trust in superheroes was at an all-time high, and for the first time since the inception of hero companies, civilians began to not only feel comfortable around superheroes, but openly followed them. Powerful superheroes, handsome superheroes, cool superheroes, funny superheroes, all of them began to grow in popularity with the public, and once the snowball started rolling, the hype only increased. By the 60s and 70s, consumerism centered around superheroes began to keep pace and even exceed at some points the fan obsession with actors and musicians, and becoming a superhero with a hero company not only became a viable career path, but a very lucrative one at that. Local and international funding guaranteed that no matter where in the world you are, signing your name with a hero company promised a good salary, plenty of benefits, and a ton of clout.

In the midst of a global obsession with superheroes, one company stood out- HERO, an American HERO Company that covered the Northeast and part of the Atlantic coast. HERO was known for being highly destructive in their superheroism, but for always getting the job done in the midst of one of the most populous and villain-infested cities in the world, Castleburg, New York. HERO had some of the strongest, cunning, caring, and oftentimes oversexualized and overhyped heroes in the world, and it earned a reputation as being chaotic but exciting, a hub of hero activity that many flocked to.

> > > 2050 - Present, The Decline < < <

After a hundred years of popularity, the advent of the future caused superheroes to tumble from the top- robots.

Robots have a lot going for them- effective, obedient, cool, and much less volatile than actual humans. In the late 2040s into the coming decades, police forces from around the world began implementing robotic divisions, known creatively as e-Police or Ekops..Their incorporation and effectiveness diminished the popularity of heroes. Hero companies are still around, and are still prevalent and heavily sponsored, but they aren’t quite the same as they used to be, with much of the public feeling more comfortable around the productive and efficacious Ekop than the humans that spit fire from their mouths.

Looming in the future, though, there are distant threats to Castleburg and the world, threats that a bunch of pieces of tin can’t stop. It’ll be up to the heroes to reassert themselves once again to keep the city- and the world at large- safe, like heroes have always done at the end of the day.

> > > TL / DR < < <

After a meteor hit Earth 300 years ago, some people developed superpowers. These superhumans were grouped up into regional, acronym-based companies all managed by a global organization called ICOSA that functioned as the UN of superhumans. Eventually, after being used as tools of war for many years, ICOSA forced superheroes to be superheroes, and they went from being viewed in disdain to being idolized as celebrities and role models for the 20th century and first half of the 21st century, when the rise of electronic policing has begun the decline of superheroes as a paragon of justice.

《 The City of Castleburg 》
_{Let’s now shift our scope from the world at large onto the bustling futuristic metropolis of Castleburg, New York, one of the world’s three largest cities and the home of HERO.}

---

Castleburg is a bustling metropolis located in New York State. A thriving city on the cutting edge of the future, Castleburg is the home of more than 20 million people and is the center of HERO, the Heroic Egalitarian Rescue Organization, a hero company that covers much of the Atlantic Northeast of the United States, though its main branch is in Castleburg, a city that with its great population also has a great number of supervillains looking to bring the mighty city to its knees.

Castleburg

Castleburg is divided into 7 different boroughs. The largest borough of Castleburg is called 《 New Athens 》, the bustling central district of Castleburg that's home to much of Castleburg's largest business and commerce centers. New Athens is home to many museums, galleries, and other cultural hotspots along with the towering skyscrapers of many industries. At the center of New Athens is the Center Olive Park, a gorgeous city park featuring a zoo and more, along with the Belfast Building, one of the world's tallest buildings, and a Castleburg monument. To the north of New Athens is 《 Kingsdale 》, an upper-class city district with row after row of nice restaurants, theaters, and more. Kingsdale is an entertainment hub in the city, and it's where the action is at. Kingsdale is also home to pricey residences and posh penthouses. To the east of New Athens and Kingsdale is the 《 East Flank 》. The East Flank is still an urban area but is considered to be a much more affordable area to live compared to New Athens and Kingsdale. The East Flank is home to much of Castleburg's middle-class population and many Heroes, and though it hosts its own galleries, restaurants, et cetera, is mostly viewed as residential.

Those three boroughs make up North Castle Island, while South Castle Island is made up of two distinct boroughs. Perhaps the polar opposite of Kingsdale, 《 Brookside 》 is a much more lower-class area of Castleburg, located across the Blue River south of New Athens. An area with crime rates much higher than that of the other portions of the city and featuring a much more slum-like atmosphere, Brookside is a common location for regular street crimes. Adjacent to Brookside, 《 Watervale 》 is a small borough composed mostly of residential areas. While generally higher socio-economically than Brookside, Watervale is known for its organized crime presence, and it's believed some supervillains have set up camp here as well. Watervale is also the home to several ethnic communities, most notably Castleburg’s Chinatown neighborhood.

To the east of North Castle Island is 《 Passenger Island 》, a mostly suburban area of Castleburg. It's a sleepier area of Castleburg in general, not as much going on here most of the time. Some of the more boring heroes live here. Passenger Island stands as a relic of the old way, a living memory of the early 21st century with few moving sidewalks, bullet trains, and hovercars zooming about.

Lastly, to the east of Watervale is the newest borough of 《 Atlantica 》, an entirely artificial, man-made island. It was a pet project of a local billionaire to turn a group of abandoned oil rigs into an oceanside paradise. It stands as a sort of mini-Vegas in Castleburg, with glowing neon signs and tall oceantop casinos overshadowing the rampant crime and poverty that festers beneath its gilded surface.

《 Savior Island 》 and 《 Lighthouse Island 》 are both HERO-owned and operated islands. Savior Island holds HERO One, a towering skyscraper that once was the glorious symbol of HERO and that now serves as administrative office space. Lighthouse Island holds Academy for Junior Heroes (see more below).

Technology

To be added in the near future.

《 H.E.R.O. Affiliations 》
_{H.E.R.O. has been Castleburg's vanguard for hundreds of years now, a shining beacon of justice in a city that is all too often clouded with chaos. It is imperative you learn exactly what you're getting into before you join our ranks, and also, who you'll be up against.}

---

H.E.R.O.

A hero company situated in Castleburg, H.E.R.O. is notorious for causing mass amounts of damage to its home city, but the organization is well-respected as an entity for stopping villainy in its tracks. Employing many local heroes to help fight crime, H.E.R.O. is a crime-stopping arm that works closely with police to help fight criminal activity all throughout Castleburg and surrounding regions.

H.E.R.O. runs three separate locations to help facilitate activities. Its “main” HQ, named HERO One, is located just off of Castleburg Bay on an island. Once a bustling center of hero life, HERO One has since become aged and is mostly used as administrative office space. The main hub for hero activity is the aerocarrier Paladin, a high-tech airship that patrols the skys above Castleburg and has been active since the late 2040s. Paladin is accessible through traditional aircrafts and through a beaming system. Paladin is equipped with state-of-the-art quarters and citywide defense systems in case of an emergency. Lastly, HERO operates the Academy for Junior Heroes, a magnet school specifically for young superheroes. It is a public school that accepts promising young superhumans and helps to teach them how to use their superpowers effectively and safely, and is located on Lighthouse Island, far away from where the pubescent metahumans can do any damage.

H.E.R.O. is a very generous employer, and most full-time heroes are satisfied with the paychecks, plus benefits such as medical insurance. Because of that, most heroes that H.E.R.O. employs are full time, though part-time heroes do exist. That being said, H.E.R.O. holds these benefits as a motivator and regularly slashes the paychecks of those who do not comply with H.E.R.O. guidelines and cause excessive destruction.

H.E.R.O.’s 12th executive director is Alexandra Steel, a French immigrant and former superheroine known as the Black Crow. Her assistant director is Raymond Blum Jr., another former superhero known as the Man-Titan.

I.C.O.S.A.

ICOSA, the International Council of Superhuman Affairs, is a global governing body whose primary goal is to record and research all powers and power holders, issue proper certifications to professional heroes, link and supervise hero companies, and track those that use their powers for nefarious purposes. ICOSA, itself a slow-moving body, relegates a significant amount of authority to the various companies under its jurisdiction, but it still makes sure to continuously inspect said companies to make sure they are complying with all ICOSA guidelines. H.E.R.O., having had a long history of breaking those guidelines, finds itself under constant scrutiny by ICOSA.

The President of I.C.O.S.A. is a Nigerian general named Okoye Akinsanya, a hero in the Pan-African War and a notorious hardline advocate of limited HERO involvement.

The Depths

The Depths Supermax Detention Center was founded in the year 2035 after a mass breakout at the previous supermax facility for Castleburg, Coldwater. The Depths is located down a massive borehole and is considered the hardest location to escape from on the globe. The Depths’ security detail is incredibly impressive, and the farther down one goes, the more intense the security procedures become. At the base level, which is reserved for either high-level human offenders or low-level metahuman offenders, The Depths is mostly similar to any other prison, albeit one with a number of heavily-armed guards, cybernetic defense mechanisms, and no light- at the very least, inmates get a cellmate, yard time, and visitation.

At the bottom levels, though, reserved for dangerous supervillains, inmates are locked inside specially-designed cells to nullify their specific superpowers and are kept under constant scrutiny. The lowest level of The Depths is called the Omega Level, a location for villains that have committed grave crimes against humanity, and it is rumored that those imprisoned there aren’t even allowed to move, remaining locked-in-place in a semi-comatose state for the rest of their lives. These rumors are unsubstantiated, though, because no reporters are allowed to the bottom levels.

Pointers For Character Creation < < <

• BALANCE IS KEY! I give a lot of leeway when constructing an OC, under the assumption that everybody exercises a degree of reason when making their character. Some characters will be stronger than others, but try to balance power with weakness when making a character.
• Third-person is preferred in the character sheet, though I will accept any perspective so long as it is thoughtfully done. Please delete all the turquoise text prior to submitting the character sheet in the OOC first.
• You can have as many characters as you can reasonably manage, though I would suggest no more than 2-3 main characters. You can have NPC side characters as much as you want, though please do not godmod anybody else's characters or GM NPCs. If you want any sort of incorporation into the main story, please DM me and/or Canary.
• The main character sheet portion and abilities section are both mandatory and can be separated or combined, up to you. If there is a relationship sheet added later, that would be entirely optional.
• All faceclaims should be some form of digital art, not a real-life faceclaim, as to keep with the established theme/mood of the RP. If you have an FC that is in a gray area for whatever reason, shoot me and/or Canary a DM.
• When in doubt, send me and/or Canary a DM and we'll be more than happy to clarify anything. I am pretty lenient, so any situation should be able to be worked out with a bit of communication.
• Though my goal is to work everything out and try and get as many people happily participating in the RP as possible, my word is final.

[ Mahz ]

[ "Who is this guy? Is he even a guy? What's goin on here?" ]
[ Hitman seems to harbor a lot of suspicions about Mahz. His questionable long-term absences and circulating rumors in the RPG community makes Hitman believe that Mahz is currently involved in some sort of crazy conspiracy involving Mexican heroin cartels, landsharks, and Bill Gates. ]

[ Canaryrose ]

[ "this loser needs to finish her damn cs" ]
[ Hitman firmly believes Canary is annoying and only gave her the position of Co-GM out of pity over the fact that every pet she has ever owned has run away. Hitman does find solace in the fact that he knows Canary's real name is in fact Alfreda. ]

[ Rabidporcupine ]

[ "I know I said 'feel free to dm me' but come on" ]
[ Hitman wishes sincerely that Rabid would finish anything in a timely manner. He also believes that Australians are not real, and therefore, believes Rabid is either Martian, a deep-cover agent with the NSA, or a figment of his imagination, all of which are equally likely possibilities. ]

Power Rankings

Now I bet you're asking yourself, "Hitman, what is a ranking?"

Wow, stranger, I'm glad you asked!

HERO uses a ranking system to, very generally, qualify heroes, as well as villains that oppose HERO. The Power Ranking system runs from S to F to rank individuals by power level, with F denoting “weaker than an average human”, while S constitutes a “consistently dangerous threat to the city and its occupants.” Note that while the power ranking is a decent general measure of strength, it is by no means an absolute power level gauge, with individuals with a lower power ranking able to trump higher-ranked individuals with cunning, techniques, and more. The Power Ranking system is just a very general measure of threat level.

The Power Ranking system has been split into 7 sub-categories that heroes are assessed on- physical strength (measuring capacity to exert and withstand pressure with one's body), agility (measuring capacity to move swiftly and avoid attacks), intelligence (measuring application of knowledge and strategical thinking), destructivenesss (measuring ability to cause property damage), lethality (measuring ability to kill humans and/or animals), stamina (measuring capacity to use powers for a prolonged period of time), efficacy (measuring level of control over one's powers and the ability to use one's powers to control others) and morality (measuring the depth of one's moral compass).

S+ ranked heroes are like unicorns- people have claimed to see them, but they likely do not exist- the power levels required would simply be monstrous.

S ranked heroes are extremely powerful and are a consistently dangerous threat to the entire city and require countermeasures in place in case they go rogue.

S- ranked heroes are similar to S ranked heroes in magnitude, but their powers generally have some type of limitation or niche that makes them easily exploitable given the right tools.

All the S ranks make up about 1% of the hero population.

A ranked heroes can do serious damage to the city on their own and can be very difficult to defeat, but are not necessarily a threat to the entire city if let loose. They still possess an impressive amount of power, enough to endanger the lives around them, but not to the scope and magnitude that the S-ranked heroes possess.

All the A-ranked heroes (A+, A, A-) make up about 10% of the hero population.

B ranked heroes can do damage to both infrastructure and human lives and have a lot of potential, but do not possess the penchant for destruction and death that the upper levels have and be managed, though B ranked heroes can put up a very good fight.

All the B-ranked heroes (B+, B, B-) make up about 25% of the hero population.

C ranked heroes have notable and significant enhancements over regular humans and can cause some level of destruction and/or multiple fatalities if given the opportunity, but have enough setbacks that make them fairly managable. They have a good deal of power, though, and should not be underestimated.

All the C-ranked heroes (C+, C, C-) make up about 50% of the hero population.

D ranked heroes have access to metahuman powers that grant some level of strength over non-powered humans. Use of said powers may be able to cause destruction, albeit at insignificant levels at that, and D ranked individuals can be easily managed.

All the D-ranked heroes (C+, C, C-) make up about 15% of the hero population.

E ranking is shorthand for an average human, and F ranking is just a regular insult. Neither are used in an official capacity by HERO or any organization.

Ranking as the name suggests, measures the potential of a given individual’s power, not necessarily an objective ranking of ability in the real world. For example, the Dust Bandit, a D-rank villain with the sole power to manipulate dust, was able to cause multiple fatalities and was able to rob multi-millions from banks across Castleburg, defeating numerous C and B-tier heroes before being taken down.

Also, heroes’ ranking. can improve or deteriorate over time. Heroes are re-evaluated on a biannual basis, though a request for an earlier re-evaluation can be submitted to H.E.R.O. for consideration. It is fairly rare to see a hero move more than a whole rank, however.

HEROIC EGALITARIAN RESCUE ORGANIZATION

NOT JUST A COMIC BOOK______

In the year 1764, a mysterious meteor known as X-200 jetted towards the Earth, threatening to be a massive extinction event. Thankfully, X-200 evaporated upon contact with Earth's atmosphere, and the entire planet breathed a collective sigh of relief. It seemed as though this was just a near miss. Scientists would soon find out that it was not. The meteor had, upon dissolution, left intergalactic dust in the atmosphere that a small percentage of the population, about 5-7%, had a peculiar reaction to. 'Peculiar' not meaning the sniffles. ‘Peculiar’ meaning things such as telekinesis, teleportation, fire-breathing, flight, superhuman strength, turning into an actual dinosaur, and other impossible, strange superhuman abilities that were entirely unexplainable by conventional science. In short: Superpowers.

The first generation of "superhumans" soon realized, of course, that these powers provided opportunities to help the populace, as well as opportunities to harm and take advantage of the populace. Those that chose to use their powers for evil became the first generation of real-world villains, and those that chose to use their powers to stop these villains became the first generation of real-world superheroes. And so this new order of people, those endowed with superhuman abilities, began to battle in the streets, their newfound powers coming to blows against each other as onlookers could only watch. The world governments quickly realized the potential that these people had and sent them off to fight for their nations in the battlefield, but an organization called ICOSA, the International Council on Superhuman Affairs, which governs the way superpowers are used in everyday life, intervened and gave superheroes a place in society.

From there, superheroism hit a golden age, and being a full-time superhero became not only a viable career choice, but a very lucrative career choice for individuals who do have mutations, about 7-8% of the population. Perhaps the most infamous of these Hero Companies was HERO, the Heroic Egalitarian Rescue Organization. HERO is a hero company situated in the city of Castleburg, a vibrant, buzzing, bustling city that is also cram-full of supervillains everywhere. HERO was known, however, for always getting the job done- often at the expense of the local infrastructure. Despite this, most HERO heroes were very well-respected for their commitment to keeping their city safe, though this respect often also comes with hiding in fear of the damage they will cause.

For a century, heroes were the coolest thing around, beating out models, athletes, actors, and musicians as the top celebrities and inspirations to little kids everywhere, but it has been 300 years since the X-200 crossed Earth's exosphere, with new technology in robotics and all sorts beginning to make heroism obsolete. With threats from near and far coming to cross Castleburg, it will be up to the heroes of H.E.R.O. to step back into the limelight, put on the spandex tights and funny capes, and save the city from whatever seeks to tear it down.

HERO 2064______

Hello, and thanks for stopping in! HERO 2064 is a sequel to an RP I made at the start of the quarantine that lasted for a solid year, and I, along with my co-GM @canaryrose, wanted to re-capture that same energy in this RP, though of course, new participants are 100% encouraged to join onboard this RP!

The RP is what I would consider a high casual difficulty RP, with an overall light/platyful mood, though some angst is always needed! While I don't like having specific numbers for paragraph requirements or word count or whatnot, I would like to see every post contribute meaningfully to the story. I would also like to see posting roughly weekly to biweekly, though I'm very flexible with real life so long as the channels of communication are open. The RP has a lot of latitude with what types of characters you can be, and hopefully it will amount to a good time!

If you have any questions, please DM me and/or @canaryrose and we'll be happy to answer! If you're interested, please pop into our Discord and the main Guild thread (see below), and don't hesitate to keep bumping this thread up! Thank you for reading and I hope to see you in the RP!

《 H.E.R.O. Archives: An Abbreviated History of Superheroes 》
_{Greetings, prospective hero. My name is ALISA and I will be guiding you through the application process here at HERO. First, a brief lesson in our history is in order.}

---

> > > Year 1764: The Beginning < < <

300 years ago, to the date, one of the strangest scientific anomalies in history occurred. A massive meteor jettisoned towards Earth at breakneck speeds, only to dissolve as soon as the meteor entered the atmosphere. What astronomers of the time prophesized as a bringer of doom to the human species appeared to have just been a simple near-miss. Life went on for a short while, until the scientists, and people all around the world, realized that the meteor, termed the 《 X-200 Meteor 》, had left something in its wake.

The meteor, upon dissolution, had released clouds of purple dust that had caused mutations in select numbers of fauna, flora, and most importantly, humans. These genetic mutations gave this specific group- only about 5-7% of the world's population, at the time- what is called the "Hero Gene." The Hero Gene runs in families and grants all sorts of superpowers. Some people grew wings, some people could spit fire, some people could cause countries to experience earthquakes, and some people could cause yeast to rise faster. All sorts of new powers came about from this revelation, and it led to one of the greatest paradigm shifts humanity has ever seen.

> > > 1770 - 1790: Formative Years < < <

The new class of "superhumans" came to recognize the implications of their newfound abilities much faster than the world governments did. The first "villains" and "heroes" were just superpowered crooks and ragtag groups of superpowered neighborhood watchmen, essentially. Small bands of these heroes duked it out with the early iterations of supervillains, and also did battle with "Leftovers," a blanket term for the creatures that had become affected by the X-200 meteor and had adopted (often hideous) super-mutations of their own. This kind of rampant havoc was troublesome, to say the least. Representatives from the major world powers of the time held a summit to determine how to address this new problem. The 1791 Austria Convention would reshape how the world thought of this new term of “superheroes.”

> > > 1791 - 1879: Heroes Gone Global < < <

The 1791 Austria Convention laid down a method of organizing the new “superhero” groups. The world was carved into regions, where each respective area would be responsible for administering a “hero company,” a governmental division of superheroes that worked for the government and fought to preserve the peace. All the hero companies would be linked to a single entity known as ICOSA, the International Council on Superhuman Affairs, centered in Vienna, the first real transnational governing body in human history.

This original convention was, in short, a failure, or at least, it wasn’t as successful as it could’ve been. The world was rife with tensions, and as such, the powers bestowed upon ICOSA were incredibly weak, with most of the power given to the individual nations. These individual nations used their respective hero companies less to police supervillains and more as cudgels for their enemies. Because of this, heroes were rarely around to actually help fight villains and more often that not doing battle against Napoleon or helping quash rebellions or pillaging villages in the Scramble for Africa. Superheroes, at this point in time, were not viewed very well, and would continue to be viewed poorly by the general public for almost a century. This was a dark period of superheroes, and after a coordinated series of supervillain terrorist attacks in the 1870s, combined with atrocities committed in the Crimean War of Europe and American Civil War, the international community reconvened for a second conference, this time in Geneva.

> > > 1879 - 1945: Reform and Readjustment < < <

The 1879 Geneva Convention moved the meeting grounds of ICOSA a thousand kilometers west to Geneva, Switzerland, and established new rules and legislation that redefined superheroism. Superheroes were no longer to be tools of the military, and were limited in their parameters to solely be guardians, not soldiers. Hero companies were forbidden from going to war and ICOSA enacted a series of hefty guidelines that every HERO company had to follow, lest they be punished by ICOSA. ICOSA was still a mostly laissez-faire organization, giving individual companies a great deal of autonomy and freedom to run things as they so choose, but finally began to crack down on the usage of superheroes as tools of war. From this point on, the public image of superheroes began to improve dramatically. Though Switzerland’s neutral position in both world wars meant that there were no superheroes to be serving on the frontlines, the imagery of the spandex-covered superhero finally began to take hold of the public. When the world emerged from World War 2, there was one image that remained untainted by the cynicism of the world, and that was of superheroes.

> > > 1945 - 2050: The Golden Age of Superheroes < < <

The next century or so is considered the golden era of superheroes. Trust in superheroes was at an all-time high, and for the first time since the inception of hero companies, civilians began to not only feel comfortable around superheroes, but openly followed them. Powerful superheroes, handsome superheroes, cool superheroes, funny superheroes, all of them began to grow in popularity with the public, and once the snowball started rolling, the hype only increased. By the 60s and 70s, consumerism centered around superheroes began to keep pace and even exceed at some points the fan obsession with actors and musicians, and becoming a superhero with a hero company not only became a viable career path, but a very lucrative one at that. Local and international funding guaranteed that no matter where in the world you are, signing your name with a hero company promised a good salary, plenty of benefits, and a ton of clout.

In the midst of a global obsession with superheroes, one company stood out- HERO, an American HERO Company that covered the Northeast and part of the Atlantic coast. HERO was known for being highly destructive in their superheroism, but for always getting the job done in the midst of one of the most populous and villain-infested cities in the world, Castleburg, New York. HERO had some of the strongest, cunning, caring, and oftentimes oversexualized and overhyped heroes in the world, and it earned a reputation as being chaotic but exciting, a hub of hero activity that many flocked to.

> > > 2050 - Present, The Decline < < <

After a hundred years of popularity, the advent of the future caused superheroes to tumble from the top- robots.

Robots have a lot going for them- effective, obedient, cool, and much less volatile than actual humans. In the late 2040s into the coming decades, police forces from around the world began implementing robotic divisions, known creatively as e-Police or Ekops..Their incorporation and effectiveness diminished the popularity of heroes. Hero companies are still around, and are still prevalent and heavily sponsored, but they aren’t quite the same as they used to be, with much of the public feeling more comfortable around the productive and efficacious Ekop than the humans that spit fire from their mouths.

Looming in the future, though, there are distant threats to Castleburg and the world, threats that a bunch of pieces of tin can’t stop. It’ll be up to the heroes to reassert themselves once again to keep the city- and the world at large- safe, like heroes have always done at the end of the day.

> > > TL / DR < < <

After a meteor hit Earth 300 years ago, some people developed superpowers. These superhumans were grouped up into regional, acronym-based companies all managed by a global organization called ICOSA that functioned as the UN of superhumans. Eventually, after being used as tools of war for many years, ICOSA forced superheroes to be superheroes, and they went from being viewed in disdain to being idolized as celebrities and role models for the 20th century and first half of the 21st century, when the rise of electronic policing has begun the decline of superheroes as a paragon of justice.

《 The City of Castleburg 》
_{Let’s now shift our scope from the world at large onto the bustling futuristic metropolis of Castleburg, New York, one of the world’s three largest cities and the home of HERO.}

---

Castleburg is a bustling metropolis located in New York State. A thriving city on the cutting edge of the future, Castleburg is the home of more than 20 million people and is the center of HERO, the Heroic Egalitarian Rescue Organization, a hero company that covers much of the Atlantic Northeast of the United States, though its main branch is in Castleburg, a city that with its great population also has a great number of supervillains looking to bring the mighty city to its knees.

Castleburg

Castleburg is divided into 7 different boroughs. The largest borough of Castleburg is called 《 New Athens 》, the bustling central district of Castleburg that's home to much of Castleburg's largest business and commerce centers. New Athens is home to many museums, galleries, and other cultural hotspots along with the towering skyscrapers of many industries. At the center of New Athens is the Center Olive Park, a gorgeous city park featuring a zoo and more, along with the Belfast Building, one of the world's tallest buildings, and a Castleburg monument. To the north of New Athens is 《 Kingsdale 》, an upper-class city district with row after row of nice restaurants, theaters, and more. Kingsdale is an entertainment hub in the city, and it's where the action is at. Kingsdale is also home to pricey residences and posh penthouses. To the east of New Athens and Kingsdale is the 《 East Flank 》. The East Flank is still an urban area but is considered to be a much more affordable area to live compared to New Athens and Kingsdale. The East Flank is home to much of Castleburg's middle-class population and many Heroes, and though it hosts its own galleries, restaurants, et cetera, is mostly viewed as residential.

Those three boroughs make up North Castle Island, while South Castle Island is made up of two distinct boroughs. Perhaps the polar opposite of Kingsdale, 《 Brookside 》 is a much more lower-class area of Castleburg, located across the Blue River south of New Athens. An area with crime rates much higher than that of the other portions of the city and featuring a much more slum-like atmosphere, Brookside is a common location for regular street crimes. Adjacent to Brookside, 《 Watervale 》 is a small borough composed mostly of residential areas. While generally higher socio-economically than Brookside, Watervale is known for its organized crime presence, and it's believed some supervillains have set up camp here as well. Watervale is also the home to several ethnic communities, most notably Castleburg’s Chinatown neighborhood.

To the east of North Castle Island is 《 Passenger Island 》, a mostly suburban area of Castleburg. It's a sleepier area of Castleburg in general, not as much going on here most of the time. Some of the more boring heroes live here. Passenger Island stands as a relic of the old way, a living memory of the early 21st century with few moving sidewalks, bullet trains, and hovercars zooming about.

Lastly, to the east of Watervale is the newest borough of 《 Atlantica 》, an entirely artificial, man-made island. It was a pet project of a local billionaire to turn a group of abandoned oil rigs into an oceanside paradise. It stands as a sort of mini-Vegas in Castleburg, with glowing neon signs and tall oceantop casinos overshadowing the rampant crime and poverty that festers beneath its gilded surface.

《 Savior Island 》 and 《 Lighthouse Island 》 are both HERO-owned and operated islands. Savior Island holds HERO One, a towering skyscraper that once was the glorious symbol of HERO and that now serves as administrative office space. Lighthouse Island holds Academy for Junior Heroes (see more below).

Technology

To be added in the near future.

《 H.E.R.O. Affiliations 》
_{H.E.R.O. has been Castleburg's vanguard for hundreds of years now, a shining beacon of justice in a city that is all too often clouded with chaos. It is imperative you learn exactly what you're getting into before you join our ranks, and also, who you'll be up against.}

H.E.R.O.

A hero company situated in Castleburg, H.E.R.O. is notorious for causing mass amounts of damage to its home city, but the organization is well-respected as an entity for stopping villainy in its tracks. Employing many local heroes to help fight crime, H.E.R.O. is a crime-stopping arm that works closely with police to help fight criminal activity all throughout Castleburg and surrounding regions.

H.E.R.O. runs three separate locations to help facilitate activities. Its “main” HQ, named HERO One, is located just off of Castleburg Bay on an island. Once a bustling center of hero life, HERO One has since become aged and is mostly used as administrative office space. The main hub for hero activity is the aerocarrier Paladin, a high-tech airship that patrols the skys above Castleburg and has been active since the late 2040s. Paladin is accessible through traditional aircrafts and through a beaming system. Paladin is equipped with state-of-the-art quarters and citywide defense systems in case of an emergency. Lastly, HERO operates the Academy for Junior Heroes, a magnet school specifically for young superheroes. It is a public school that accepts promising young superhumans and helps to teach them how to use their superpowers effectively and safely, and is located on Lighthouse Island, far away from where the pubescent metahumans can do any damage.

H.E.R.O. is a very generous employer, and most full-time heroes are satisfied with the paychecks, plus benefits such as medical insurance. Because of that, most heroes that H.E.R.O. employs are full time, though part-time heroes do exist. That being said, H.E.R.O. holds these benefits as a motivator and regularly slashes the paychecks of those who do not comply with H.E.R.O. guidelines and cause excessive destruction.

H.E.R.O.’s 12th executive director is Alexis Montagne, a Quebecois immigrant and former superheroine known as the Black Crow. Her assistant director is Richard Blum, another former superhero known as the Man-Titan.

I.C.O.S.A.

ICOSA, the International Council of Superhuman Affairs, is a global governing body whose primary goal is to record and research all powers and power holders, issue proper certifications to professional heroes, link and supervise hero companies, and track those that use their powers for nefarious purposes. ICOSA, itself a slow-moving body, relegates a significant amount of authority to the various companies under its jurisdiction, but it still makes sure to continuously inspect said companies to make sure they are complying with all ICOSA guidelines. H.E.R.O., having had a long history of breaking those guidelines, finds itself under constant scrutiny by ICOSA.

The President of I.C.O.S.A. is a Nigerian general named Okoye Akinsanya, a hero in the Pan-African War and a notorious hardline advocate of limited HERO involvement.

The Depths

The Depths Supermax Detention Center was founded in the year 2035 after a mass breakout at the previous supermax facility for Castleburg, Coldwater. The Depths is located down a massive borehole and is considered the hardest location to escape from on the globe. The Depths’ security detail is incredibly impressive, and the farther down one goes, the more intense the security procedures become. At the base level, which is reserved for either high-level human offenders or low-level metahuman offenders, The Depths is mostly similar to any other prison, albeit one with a number of heavily-armed guards, cybernetic defense mechanisms, and no light- at the very least, inmates get a cellmate, yard time, and visitation.

At the bottom levels, though, reserved for dangerous supervillains, inmates are locked inside specially-designed cells to nullify their specific superpowers and are kept under constant scrutiny. The lowest level of The Depths is called the Omega Level, a location for villains that have committed grave crimes against humanity, and it is rumored that those imprisoned there aren’t even allowed to move, remaining locked-in-place in a semi-comatose state for the rest of their lives. These rumors are unsubstantiated, though, because no reporters are allowed to the bottom levels.

Pointers For Character Creation < < <

• BALANCE IS KEY! I give a lot of leeway when constructing an OC, under the assumption that everybody exercises a degree of reason when making their character. Some characters will be stronger than others, but try to balance power with weakness when making a character.
• Third-person is preferred in the character sheet, though I will accept any perspective so long as it is thoughtfully done. Please delete all the turquoise text prior to submitting the character sheet in the OOC first.
• You can have as many characters as you can reasonably manage, though I would suggest no more than 2-3 main characters. You can have NPC side characters as much as you want, though please do not godmod anybody else's characters or GM NPCs. If you want any sort of incorporation into the main story, please DM me and/or Canary.
• The main character sheet portion and abilities section are both mandatory and can be separated or combined, up to you. If there is a relationship sheet added later, that would be entirely optional.
• When in doubt, send me and/or Canary a DM and we'll be more than happy to clarify anything. I am pretty lenient, so any situation should be able to be worked out with a bit of communication.
• Though my goal is to work everything out and try and get as many people happily participating in the RP as possible, my word is final.

Character Help

Power Rankings

Now I bet you're asking yourself, "Hitman, what is a ranking?"

Wow, stranger, I'm glad you asked!

HERO uses a ranking system to, very generally, qualify heroes, as well as villains that oppose HERO. The Power Ranking system runs from S to F to rank individuals by power level, with F denoting “weaker than an average human”, while S constitutes a “consistently dangerous threat to the city and its occupants.” Note that while the power ranking is a decent general measure of strength, it is by no means an absolute power level gauge, with individuals with a lower power ranking able to trump higher-ranked individuals with cunning, techniques, and more. The Power Ranking system is just a very general measure of threat level.

The Power Ranking system has been split into 7 sub-categories that heroes are assessed on- physical strength (measuring capacity to exert and withstand pressure with one's body), agility (measuring capacity to move swiftly and avoid attacks), intelligence (measuring application of knowledge and strategical thinking), destructivenesss (measuring ability to cause property damage), lethality (measuring ability to kill humans and/or animals), stamina (measuring capacity to use powers for a prolonged period of time), efficacy (measuring level of control over one's powers and the ability to use one's powers to control others) and morality (measuring the depth of one's moral compass).

S+ ranked heroes are like unicorns- people have claimed to see them, but they likely do not exist- the power levels required would simply be monstrous.

S ranked heroes are extremely powerful and are a consistently dangerous threat to the entire city and require countermeasures in place in case they go rogue.

S- ranked heroes are similar to S ranked heroes in magnitude, but their powers generally have some type of limitation or niche that makes them easily exploitable given the right tools.

All the S ranks make up about 1% of the hero population.

A ranked heroes can do serious damage to the city on their own and can be very difficult to defeat, but are not necessarily a threat to the entire city if let loose. They still possess an impressive amount of power, enough to endanger the lives around them, but not to the scope and magnitude that the S-ranked heroes possess.

All the A-ranked heroes (A+, A, A-) make up about 10% of the hero population.

B ranked heroes can do damage to both infrastructure and human lives and have a lot of potential, but do not possess the penchant for destruction and death that the upper levels have and be managed, though B ranked heroes can put up a very good fight.

All the B-ranked heroes (B+, B, B-) make up about 25% of the hero population.

C ranked heroes have notable and significant enhancements over regular humans and can cause some level of destruction and/or multiple fatalities if given the opportunity, but have enough setbacks that make them fairly managable. They have a good deal of power, though, and should not be underestimated.

All the C-ranked heroes (C+, C, C-) make up about 50% of the hero population.

D ranked heroes have access to metahuman powers that grant some level of strength over non-powered humans. Use of said powers may be able to cause destruction, albeit at insignificant levels at that, and D ranked individuals can be easily managed.

All the D-ranked heroes (C+, C, C-) make up about 15% of the hero population.

E ranking is shorthand for an average human, and F ranking is just a regular insult. Neither are used in an official capacity by HERO or any organization.

Ranking as the name suggests, measures the potential of a given individual’s power, not necessarily an objective ranking of ability in the real world. For example, the Dust Bandit, a D-rank villain with the sole power to manipulate dust, was able to cause multiple fatalities and was able to rob multi-millions from banks across Castleburg, defeating numerous C and B-tier heroes before being taken down.

Also, heroes’ ranking. can improve or deteriorate over time. Heroes are re-evaluated on a biannual basis, though a request for an earlier re-evaluation can be submitted to H.E.R.O. for consideration. It is fairly rare to see a hero move more than a whole rank, however.

"Fianna, Marinette," the younger girl said to herself, committing the names and faces to memory. "Those are very nice names!" Gwen quickly added with a chipper smile, before her eyes were drawn to the rip on her sleeve. She looked down to it, sticking two fingers into the tear, before pulling them out. Bone dry, thankfully. "It’s just a tear in the fabric. Nothing serious," Gwen said dismissively. "Thankfully. I will need a new jacket, though…oh, right!” The girl quickly snapped back to her original train of thought. "Gwen Zhang. Communicator of Ryujin!” she said excitedly to the soldier lady, eyeing her up. Gwen had expected some of the warrior types to make an appearance as Communicators, but this woman did seem especially intimidating, somehow.

Speaking of the French infantrywoman, Marinette had suggested that the small group make progress, which Gwen hurriedly agreed to. "Oh, yes, yes, yes please, just get me out of this cold,” Gwen said anxiously, before beginning to trek forwards again towards the white barrier, not bothering to check to see if the other two were following. At this point, Gwen had managed to stave off the deep cold from the warming excitement of meeting other Communicators and having to fight for her life for a few moments, but it was back and colder than ever. Gwen hurried over to the swirling barrier of snow. To any mortal that had somehow managed to venture to this point, the blizzard would be a terrifying site, with shards of snow and ice whipping fast enough to make even the most experienced travelers shiver in fear. However, strangely enough, Gwen felt as though the barrier was harmless, and as if it was beckoning her forwards. This was because she was not wrong at all. Gwen slowly and steadily stepped into the moving blizzard, and just like that, she passed through without a hitch. It was like she had phased through.

Instantly, a flood of warmth filled Gwen’s body as the magic of the Sky Palace entered her. It was exhilarating, like she had stepped into a sauna. The entire place had an air of ancient magic to it. Standing before her was a massive castle built out of polished limestone, with towers capped with emerald spires flanking the building, and a few green vines drooping down from the building’s parapets. In front of the massive building was what appeared to be a massive porcelain bowl, from which a gigantic violet fire flickered. Stone paths split out from the central palace like a spiderweb, etching out into the walls of the valley in which the Sky Palace was located- one of the doorways was made of thick marble and flanked by Corinthian columns, another was carved out of sandstone, with etched figures surrounding the doorway; a third was built of thick cedarwood and had a shield laying on each door, a fourth was a gnarled green u-shaped door with a heavy golden knocker on it, and the last, the one that Gwen felt a calling towards, was surrounded by a torii gate and covered by bead curtain.

Still in astonishment by this scene, Gwen wordlessly approached the burning flame, staring up at the flickering magical fire in awe and feeling its warmth radiate against her cool skin. This place looked and felt like it was from a Disney movie. It was, needles to say, a surreal experience.

"Poor snake," Teddy said quietly, but his stoic face showed no signs of mourning for the snake. He didn't dislike snakes; in fact, he found them quite interesting. However, this was no time to be mourning over creatures that wanted him dead, no matter how cool they looked. If the group stayed there any longer, there was an increasingly high chance that there would be more than just a single giant cobra coming for their flesh.

Thankfully, the end of the corridor was not far away. Only a hop and a step down the hallway were the heavy stone doors that the sensation in the back of his mind told him was the end of the journey. Teddy rested his shoulder against the doorway, pressing hard, and the massive slab of rock slid open, the shining light of day filtering into the corridor as Teddy managed to open the door. Once he had managed to push the heavy slab of rock ajar, Teddy stepped out into the sunlight, before realizing that he, along with the rest of the group, was standing way up in the sky.

The Sky Palace, and what Teddy believed were many of the other Communicators, were way down below Teddy's current position. He, along with the other cavern-travelers, was stuck upon a stone ledge suspended way up on the side of the valley in which the Sky Palace was nestled. The good news, at least, was that this magical valley was not nearly as bitterly cold as was the frigid New Hampshire wild or even the cave. The bad news was that their resting place was hundreds of feet beneath them. Luckily, Teddy was creative, and years of the powers of Anubis being in his blood had given him an edge in the utilization of his natural gifts. From his hand, a long length of bandages emerged, dropping from his palm and slinking down the side of the mountain all the way to the ground level of the Sky Palace. Teddy looked around at the group. "Anybody see something we can hang this on?" Teddy asked quietly as he looked around. "I'd offer to hold on, but I wouldn't like to be pulled to my death anytime soon."

Gwen was absolutely and utterly terrified by this giant harpy creature that was now bearing down upon her. Ryujin had told her about these sort of creatures existing out in the depths of the wild, but had not expected to encounter one so soon into her tenure as a Communicator, and was far too exhausted and cold to think as to how to rationally. She was about to just try and dodge and make a break for it when the bird was suddenly speared clean out of the sky by an arrow. Gwen’s head turned with a start to see another individual approaching. Another Communicator. Or at least, what Gwen assumed to be another Communicator, unless the random hikers of New Hampshire carried around bows to shoot down wild bird monsters.

The girl walked over, offing the harpy with another arrow to the head, before approaching Gwen. She wasn’t too intimidating, Gwen supposed. She was a bit older than Gwen and her musculature more well-defined, but overall she looked very approachable. She took the young woman’s hand, pulling herself to her feet. "Gwen," the 18-year-old said with her best attempt at a chipper smile. "Thank you so much for the help," Gwen said, taking a glance back at the harpy that was bleeding out on the ground, staining the white snow with a dark maroon froth. "I didn’t bring a weapon, because, you know, I wasn’t told that I was going to be attacked by flying birds."

”You are beyond stubborn,” Ryujin said in the girl’s head.

"Anyway," the younger girl continued, shivering slightly in the cold, "thanks again. I owe you one, big time.” Gwen didn’t know exactly how she could pay this woman back, but she’d figure it out. She did save her life, after all. Before she could ask for the redhead’s name, however, another woman approached the duo, appearing out of nowhere. She was larger and apparently very French, and she began speaking to the two in French. Gwen looked at the woman like a deer in headlights. ”Umm...oui oui?”

Teddy ran his fingers along the carvings of the wall. It was fascinating. It seemed to be some sort of painting, like a cave painting, depicting the Olympians and Egyptian Gods meeting atop a massive cloud. The details of the image were strangely both archaic but incredibly precise and smooth. No regular mortal could have ever carved something like this, something so precisely created and etched into the cave's walls. Teddy could tell that the doorway was made by some sort of divine presence.

As he examined the mysterious wall, though, he heard a voice behind him. Teddy turned his head, looking at the girl standing before him. She was around Teddy's age and fairly tall, with a sword hanging from her hip, standing in the middle of a deadly spider-infested cave. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who Teddy was dealing with. The youth gave a curt nod to Akeno, his lips tightly compressed as he thought of what to say. After leaving her question in the air for a couple of seconds, he responded with a simple, "yeah," before adding, "Me too. Think I'm figuring something out here..."

Teddy pressed his hand against a large carving of the sun in the middle of the etched portrait, and there was a loud rumbling sound as the wall began to part right down the middle. A confident smirk on his face clear as day even in the darkness of the cave, Teddy stepped back as the painting split open in the middle, revealing a large hidden chamber behind the wall. Unlike the rest of the cave, this chamber seemed to have been crafted by some other figure, with perfectly even, polished stone walls equipped with scarlet flickering torches. "Ladies first," Teddy pined quietly as he examined the hidden corridor.

As he took his first steps into the corridor, Teddy quickly stopped as he noticed something on the other end. Two glowing green lights, vastly different from the flickering torches that lined the corridor. Teddy had a realization in his heart of what was about to happen as he saw the creature slink out from the darkness. It was a cobra. A very large cobra, as tall as Teddy, perhaps, with a body that winded into the dark recesses of the corridor.

Teddy held up the torch as he stepped back, looking at the creature, which seemed to be preparing to make a move. "Looks like they wanted to test us," Teddy said with a certain sense of familiarity, standing lightly on his toes as he looked over to his fellow Communicator. Evidently, the Gods were not afraid of putting them in life-or-death situations off the bat. This was a message and a test. A message to tell the Communicators that they were not special, but disposable- and a test for the Communicators to prove the Gods wrong.

"I hope you know how to use that thing," Teddy was, gesturing to the sword as the massive cobra reared its head back, preparing to bite. "And I hope you’re not afraid of snakes,"

[ PERSONALITY ]

---

[ PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION ]
Nathaniel is a kind decent soul and very concerned about doing what is right. He is empathetic and gentle wishing no one undue harm, (and few that might actually do with some harm). He is easily embarrassed for others in social awkward situations and tries to make others feel at ease with gentle humor and kindness.

Nathan is also very humble and modest believing that anyone who had his skills would do the same as he does. Far from believing he is anything special, he thinks he has been honored too much by Thunderbird.

He has a strong sense of responsibility and duty. He understands the negative motivations that can move someone to disaster and is wary of them. He knows that anger, frustration, and shame may lead to because he's been down that path himself.

Nathan is deeply religious by nature, both as a practicing Catholic, a member of the Shaker church, and a sweat lodge. He sees no contradiction in his spiritual life. Nathaniel is naturally artistic and enjoys working with wood and leather. His carving have fetched thousands of dollars however, he puts most into the tribal museum and the money goes to fund the school. His style mixes traditional NW carving with Asian traditions to produce an amalgam all his own. As a work of love, Nathaniel has carved an entirely lifelike and deeply moving crucifix to go up over the village's Shaker church's altar. It is one of a kind.

Nathan has a strong quirky sense of humor and while he is willing to laugh at himself, he rarely laughs at others. He is a naturally happy person who enjoys others' sense of fun. Typically, he has an infectious smile on his face and good humor in his eyes.

Nathan knows that he is at risk of substance abuse both genetically and from his life history, he is wary of alcohol, 'Fine for hoquats but not for us', is his attitude. He dislikes marijuana as he believes it leads to laziness and poor life choices. He despises hard drugs in all forms and has little tolerance for those who sell them.

By nature he is friendly, however he is very embarrassed by his differences right down to his scent. While most people smell like a favorite soap, perfume or cologne, Nate smells like cut cedar, wood smoke, smoked fish, and the salty waters of the harbor. His speech while sincere and well meant is accented and he often mispronounces a word according to standard American English. This makes him reluctant to speak to groups he does not know well. Despite all that Nathan has a charm and charisma based on his quiet confidence he learned growing up.

Nathan's good looks and charisma can lead him astray especially where attractive women are concerned. When it comes to conflict Nathaniel is determined, dedicated, and committed to doing what needs to be done. As a police officer he has learned how to best sooth others and lead people into doing what is needed.

[ LIKES / DISLIKES ]
Likes: Nathan likes his family and friends, loves spending time outdoors, practicing martial arts and spending time with his son. His favorite food is seal dipped in hot whale fat, herring eggs mixed with whipped berries, and chocolate. Knowing his low tolerance for alcohol, Nate always drinks coffee instead. He loves playing basketball with friends and swimming or surfing the beach. He loves carving and teaching the same. He always volunteers to work the 'bone games' (Native American gambling game that can last days) whenever his tribe hosts them.

Dislikes: Speaking to a crowd (he's embarrassed by his 'res' accent), men who bully women and children, and cities. Nathan hates driving in cities. Nathan finds vegan and soy food to be an abomination. He hates heavy drugs and dislikes the effects on his friends and family. He loves dairy but like many Native Americans is lactose intolerant. The love with dairy is not mutual.

[ BIOGRAPHY ]

---

[ Place of Origin ]
Mora, Washington State

[ BIO ]

Nathaniel is the youngest child of the last of the Whalers. His family clan is the Thunderbird. His oldest brother was nearly eighty years older than Nathan. His father was a whaler that hunted from a dugout canoe that could spend days or weeks at sea.

Nathan grew up on a small reservation on the Washington coast. His family had been whalers for centuries. Nathan's father died when he was very young, (and his father very old) and he had little guidance in his life.

Nathan's mother was an alcoholic and frequently left Nathan on his own. By the time Nathaniel was eleven he was driving his drunken or passed out mother home in his younger uncle's borrowed car. Nathan saw the ugliness that alcohol could bring out in people. He was used to being on his own and while he had many 'aunties' (a common term of courtesy, affection and respect) he was determined to cover up his mother's deficiencies. Nathan often went hungry at night as his mother had sold their food aid, 'commodities' for drug or alcohol money. During the day he was fed by the school both lunch and breakfast even during the school holidays.

The reservation had no broadcast tv, no cable, no internet, and not even a cell tower until Nathaniel was in high school. He grew up playing games outdoors, hunting, fishing, trapping, and exploring the rainforest out his back door. To earn spending money, Nate would help guys fishing the river a dangerous and thankless task but traditional for his people. Books were his constant companion, he always had a kerosene lantern for those nights the wind would blow down the powerlines. The tribe never collected the utilities due even though it was de minimis, less than thirty dollars a month, his mother never paid it. The money she received (and she received significant amounts of 'Indian Money' (as her per capita money she received was typically referred to by tribal members), she never had enough to actually pay any bills.

Nathan grew up big strong and slowly became resentful. Resentful of his life, his perceived lack of opportunity and his abandonment by his mother. He was very athletic and intelligent but lacked direction.

He was man-high by the time he was thirteen, he had a couple of years of varsity wrestling and more than a little boxing under his belt. Nathaniel excelled at those combat sports as well as less structured forms of combat. Nathan had discovered the existential joys of kicking ass.

He liked fighting men bigger and stronger than him at the drop of a hat and if no one else would drop the hat, he would. While he was only thirteen, he was six feet tall and a hundred and seventy pounds. Nathaniel found all the embarrassment, anger, and resentment went out the window when he was scrapping. He mean as a cat on speed and twice as fast. He wound up putting two men into the emergency room in one weekend. None of the men would admit to who they fought as Nathaniel was a kid, and despite his size still looked like one, he didn't even have peach fuzz.

Nathaniel was sent to the State juvenile facility and was almost immediately returned to the tribe. As a juvenile a tribal member could be held by the state. A juvenile that needed to be housed in an adult facility could not be held by the state. His tribe had no where to put him, no services they could offer, and nobody to care for him. The tribal council and the social services hashed it out for most of an afternoon and Larry Jefferson, a member of the council sat quietly for most of it. When he offered to take Nathaniel in as a foster child, the others jumped at the chance before he could come to his senses.

Larry was a Vietnam vet was six inches shorter than Nathaniel's six feet and growing frame and weighed maybe a hundred and fifty pounds. Larry was also expert at Shorin Ryu karate and kobujutsu.

It took less than three days for Nathan to try to assert his dominance over Larry. Larry showed him why a well trained and experienced fighter, would often prevail against a talented amateur. Once it was established that Nathan could not overpower Larry as he had the other men who were willing to fight a thirteen year old boy no matter how big and strong and that bruises and a bruised ego could heal, they settled into something like a normal life.

Larry showed Nathaniel how to calm his spirit, channel his energies and taught him the things a father should. By the time he was sixteen, Nathan had turned his life around. He was fighting still but in organized full-contact tournaments in the men's division. He was head of his class in high school and taught woodcarving twice a week at the school. Nathan also was a father.

At sixteen this was hardly a planned event for either the mother or the father but both were willing to do what was needed to raise their son and they had family to help. By the time Nathaniel was eighteen the tribal police made him a cadet and at twenty one he entered the Federal Police academy and graduated top of his class.

Nathan was a favorite son of his tribe, a valued member of his community and had a reputation as a great guy and someone you could trust. He had his own home and his son Ray split his time between both parents equally. Although, since they lived a stones throw away, (literally) there really wasn't many days that little Ray didn't spend with both parents. They always tried to eat at least one meal as a family and did all holidays together. Nathaniel was being groomed as chief of police and perhaps Chief of the Tribe. He was last of the Thunderbird clan and liked by all. His only difficulty was public speaking, he is painfully aware of his reservation accent and when speaking to unfamiliar people he tends to mumble, unless he's in uniform, then he speaks as loudly as necessary. He is a master of Shorin Ryu Karate and Kobujutsu weapons. He is also an excellent swimmer, outdoorsman, tracker, and woodcarver.

Nathan met the man who would change his life one stormy day in February. The wind was blowing well over sixty miles an hour with gusts up to ninety. He was securing the streets of his little village, watching for trees falling, wires down or other dangers when he saw a boat tip over in the harbor. Somebody had an old fashioned canoe out on the waters. The ocean had come over the bar and was only a few feet below flood level. Nathan did not hesitate longer than it took to radio it in, then he dived into the choppy water.

He swam to the canoe like a seal and after a minute or so found his target more by chance than anything else. Nathan swam to shore and was about to begin resuscitation when to his shock the man spoke. He told Nathan he was now more than a man and more than just a father, he was now a protector against the creatures that lurked in the darkness.

[ RELICS / FAMILIARS ]
The day after meeting the drowning man, Nathan found a paddle he had carved to practice Kobujutsu with a native flare had changed. It felt stronger, lighter and quicker in his hands and left a disconcerting trail of electrical arcs when he spun it too fast.

A beaded belt that tells the story of Thunderbird. The belt changes when no one is looking at it and a different part of the thousands of years of history is displayed but no one can say for certain whether they have seen it before or simply forgotten and it always looked like that. What if any powers the belt has is unknown.

[ POWERS ]

Flight: Nathaniel can manifest black, red, and white wings. He can fly with them at speeds that rival an attack helicopter for a half an hour to an hour and it takes a rough toll on the young man as man is not meant to fly even with wings. The quicker he flies the quicker he is fatigued and the more damage he does to his system. It probably won't kill him, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and all that, at least that what Nathan tells himself. When he can no longer fly they fade away and if he is in the air he glides to the ground.

Superhuman agility: Nathan is fast, his reflexes allow him to dodge bullets or parry them with his paddle.

Heightened Vision: Nathaniel has the keen vision of a bird of prey. He can see More colors than humans and his vision can pick out a trout in the water from a several hundred feet in the air. He can see the currents in the air, see in what would be pitch darkness, and see the invisible and supernatural. This is not always a good things. The things that go bump in the night won't win any beauty contests.

[ INVOCATION ]

Father Thunderbird, lord of lightning, protector of the True people, foe to monsters and the dark. Come to me now one wings of thunder. Grant me the strength to do what is need and the resolve to see it through.

Have mercy on your children and protect us as old!

Thunderbird

Thunderbird comes on like a bird made of cloud, chaos and lightning and merges with Nate. This always triggers his wings, voluntarily or not. His eyes shine with coiling electricity and two coiling balls of silver-blue lightning sit at the center of the wings. When he flaps his wings, thunder crashes (which can be rather destructive indoors even without the accompanying lightning. Nathan's skin changes as well turning into a red, black, and white stylized native pattern. Nathaniel looks like an anthropomorphized Thunderbird come to life. While he is usually visible he is wreathed in clouds and lightning plays about the edges. His eyes are portals to a place of raw force and power.

Thunderbird can summon Nathaniel's paddle if he wishes. The paddle is designed as a weapon and in his hands it is quite effective.

When he is the Thunderbird, his voice has the authority of an elder god, and can crash like thunder. This will startle anyone. If Thunderbird is angry, it will deafen those close, shatter glass and rattle anything not nailed down. Most freeze in shock at hearing it.

His strength and durability become much stronger. Thunderbird is the strongest of his pantheon. He can guide or produce lightning and calm or whip up a storm in seconds.

Thunderbird can ride the lightning in a split second essentially teleporting himself and can with effort do the same for others. This is usually suboptimal as it causes more than a bit of a shock and greatly drains his power.

Weaknesses: Thunderbird becomes furious at the sight of monsters. Even the mention of his ancient enemies is enough to set off a rather spectacular rage.

If Thunderbird figures he's finished he will return to his perch high in the Olympic Mountains under a glacier. The ice cave is on no maps and near no trails. Nathan has had to walk back twice this way. Fortunately, Nathan is an avid outdoorsman and survive in the wild.

Nathaniel is worn out after invoking Thunderbird and his normally short hair has grown into a shoulder length mass with a topknot in a ponytail. Nathaniel's body takes great strain from the change and he is in pain afterward from head to toe, (not that he would ever admit to it). It is possible Thunderbird could fatally overtax his vessel but he has not done so yet.

[ OTHER INTERESTS/SKILLS ]
Nathaniel loves hunting and fishing, boating, trapping, and surfing. He is a deadeye with both firearms and spears and bows. He can throw his paddle with deadly effect. He plays basketball with his friends but keeps his abilities under wraps.
He spends much of his free time with his son and it is his greatest joy. Nate still practices martial arts daily and has become a master of the paddle/oar as a weapon.

Growing up without a tv or video games, Nathan is an avid reader and studies Northwest Indian lore obsessively to discover what he can of the enemy. He is also working to get a law degree, in his spare time (ha, ha) so that he may better serve his people. He enjoys carving and art and can be found working on pieces when he can find the time.

Leo Karsten

[ BASICS ]

---

[ NAME ]
Leonard Karsten

[ AGE ]
21

[ GENDER ]
Male

[ COMMUNICATOR OF ]
Wayland

[ MYTHOLOGY OF (YOUR GOD) ]
One of the greatest smiths of norse and germanic mythology, Wayland was the creator of many famous weapons and armour, such as the sword Mimung. While probably not technically a god, he was also not human, or at least not fully, being known as both a son of the giant Wade and a lord of the elves, and many consider him to be the closest equivalent to a god of the forge in norse/germanic mythology.

---

[ APPEARANCE ]

---

[ PHYSIQUE ]
Leo is a very muscular man, the result of many years at a forge, and is generally the tallest person in the room. His skin is tan, and he has dark brown hair and grey eyes. His hands and lower arms are covered in old burns, many of them small, but many others large enough to be easily noticable for anyone who knows what to look for.

[ HEIGHT / WEIGHT ]
6'6"/206 lbs

---

[ PERSONALITY ]

---

[ PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION ]
Leo is a very timid, soft-spoken young man, if he even speaks at all. It is actually quite rare for him to do so honestly, usually responding to any attempts to strike up a conversation by freezing up and staring at the person, locked in a panicky internal debate over how he should respond. It's rare for him to escape this state before people either decide he's too weird and leave, or think he's glaring at them, get intimidated, and then leave. If he does feel comfortable enough to manage to talk, it will usually only be a few words at a time.

On top of his social ineptitude, he is also easily frightened, often getting to the point of freezing up completely, and this has led to an absolutely awful view of himself, with his sense of self worth being almost non-existent.

Sometimes it seems like the only time he can calm down a little, and maybe even show a bit of pride in himself, is when he's making something in his workshop. Usually, this comes in the form of metalworking, an area he was already considered particularly talented in even before becoming the communicator of Weyland. He views this as his only constructive skill, and therefore is the only time he can allow himself to feel slightly more than useless.

[ Place of Origin ]
Queensland, Australia

[ BIO ]
Leonard Karsten has always been something of a weak-willed person. Throughout his childhood, he was always the guy who would try to laugh along at jokes made at his expense, even if they actually hurt deep down. As long as it kept it from becoming some kind of confrontation, he was happy to pretend he was fine. It was a personality trait he'd gotten from his father, the other mild mannered member of their family, who had always found it easier to let that kind of thing go. His mother and his younger sister Emilia, on the other hand, had far more intense personalities, and therefore often had to be talked out of 'marching over and teaching those little shits a lesson.' Still, despite their differing personalities, the family tended to get along pretty well, with one of Leo's main ways of coping with the issues he had being to join his mother in her blacksmithing hobby, something which stemmed naturally from her metalworker career.

However, everything changed one day when... well, he wasn't even really sure what happened... When he was sixteen and his sister was fourteen, they'd been walking home from school one day when some... thing appeared in the middle of their path. At the time, he could hardly describe it, except to say that it was some kind of monster. Something that shouldn't exist in this world. He couldn't react. Couldn't move. Could barely even think. As the monster approached him, seeming to pierce straight into his soul as it stared into his eyes, it was all he could do to realise how isolated their path was right now, and no one else would be coming to save them.

However, nobody else needed to, as Emilia decided to take on that role herself. After all, she knew how bad Leo was with conflict, how scared he could get in situations like this, so naturally it was her job to step in and protect him when it happened, right?

The 'fight' went about as well as you'd expect, and although the monster ended up leaving the area for some unknown reason before it could strike a finishing blow on either sibling, the end result was still terrible, the boisterous, excitable, athletic girl being confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Despite this, she still somehow managed to remain optimistic. Leo, on the other hand, was absolutely destroyed by the situation. By the guilt. Why did he let Emilia fight that thing on her own? He was her big brother! He was meant to protect her! But no, instead she'd been the one to protect him, while he'd stood there frozen like a coward! The fact that his family acted so goddamn understanding only made it worse. Why wouldn't they blame him? He knew they must have deep down, why couldn't they just say it! Yell at him, insult him, berate him for his weakness! He deserved it! He should be punished for it, and yet everyone was just letting it go!

The guilt and shame he felt only caused him to withdraw even further into his shell than before, finding it more difficult to talk to people than ever. He slowly managed to get a little better with his parents again, although Emilia remained a challenge, even so much as looking at her bringing all his self-loathing right back to the surface. Other people too proved too much speak to, anything he might want to say catching in his throat before he could go through with it, until eventually he just decided to stop trying at all. In the end, he coped the same way he always did, occupying all his time with either household chores or working at his mums forge, which had eventually just become his forge at some point, and giving whatever he made there to his mum to sell to help support them.

And this would have continued, no doubt, if not for the voice that appeared in his head one day, offering him one last chance to become a better person.

[ REASON FOR CHOICE ]
There are two main reasons Wayland considered someone like Leo to be a worthy communicator. The first is clear, as the boy loves blacksmithing and being creative just as much as he does. The second is a little harder to see. Though one may not be able to tell at first, Wayland actually holds a deep, burning regret for the actions he took in Ninud's castle, particularly those taken during his revenge against the man for his crippling and imprisonment. Although Leo's regrets come not from his actions but his inaction, the old blacksmith still understands the pain and guilt well, and hopes to help the boy overcome his burdens.

---

[ POWERS ]

---

[ RELICS / FAMILIARS ]
Unlike many deities, Wayland has no relic of his own. However, through his power, Leo can summon any item he has forged to himself. As has been the role of many communicators of Wayland throughout history, it will be his job to forge his own relics, both for himself and his companions, though anything of actual power is currently well beyond him.

[ POWERS ]
The Forgemaster
Being the communicator of a master blacksmith spirit, Leo has been granted the power to forge items at speeds far surpassing that of normal smiths, and with a much larger range of materials.

He has also developed the ability to inscribe runes on these crafts to grant magical abilities to them, although he will have to put in the time and effort to learn how each rune works, and how they react to each other.

Finally, as mentioned in the relics section, being the communicator of Wayland allows him to summon any item he forges to himself. This summoning works regardless of where the item may be. However, this has the obvious drawback of potentially taking it from anyone he may have given it to, potentially endangering them if they need it at the same time he does.

[ INVOCATION ]

Wayland the Smith

Though Wayland could be invoked for combat and do an adequate job, it isn't exactly his area of expertise. Instead, Wayland is better off being invoked to aid in the creation of a particularly powerful item, even approaching the level of an actual relic.

[ OTHER INTERESTS/SKILLS ]
Leo is actually quite talented at many domestic tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, and textiles.

Abnoba, the Celtic goddess of the forest and rivers

[ MYTHOLOGY OF Abnoba ]
Her main symbol is the Black Forest, which is a large mountain range located in Baden-Würtemberg, in Germany. However, her symbols also include all forests and rivers. She was worshipped in the Black Forest area, beside river banks, in the shrines devoted to her, and atop the mountains within the Black Forest.

[ APPEARANCE ]

[ PHYSIQUE ]
Fianna is petite and curvy but in a muscular way with a little bit to squish. Her love of nature fuels her need for hikes in the wilderness, thus answering why her cheekbones are frequently, pink and warm from the sun. She has long delicate fingers, soft feminine hands that can also pack quite a punch. True Celtic fashion, she is a redhead and freckles littering her body. Normally, is wearing some form of jeans, upcycled T-shirt, and a jacket with a hiking backpack filled with essentials. Her hair is usually in a braid or ponytail.

[ PERSONALITY ]

[ PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION ]
Fianna is a sweet, kind young woman who normally wouldn't hurt a fly but sometimes her redheaded temper gets in the way. Most don't expect the shy girl to spew curses at them. Fia is a very bright girl that loves nature and, in fact, will wander forests for hours on end with a journal and a charcoal pencil to sketch plants, scenes, and creatures that she comes across. She also likes to be barefoot and feel the earth between her toes, and also enjoys foraging and gardening for food. She believes in treating others how you want to be treated. Can kind of come off a little ditsy at times.

[ BIOGRAPHY ]

[hr.]
[ Place of Origin ]
Monhegan, Maine

[ BIO ]
Fianna was born in the home of a Games and Parks Officer and a former flower child. Her parents were caring and attentive, giving Fianna as much as they could with the money that they had. They lived outside of Monhegan on a little homestead with chickens, goats, and a milk cow. Sometimes her father would bring in orphaned wildlife for Fianna to help raise and release back into nature.

Fia was homeschooled up until junior high and had a hard time fitting in. She was often bullied at school, being labeled weird for enjoying plants and animals. Fianna tried to be peaceful and nice, but after so long, she snapped. One day, a boy that had been bothering her, kicked her legs out from underneath her and caused her to fall down cement stairs. Fia ended up with scrapes covering her knees, fractured forearms, and a black eye. After she was healed, the boy tried to bother her again and she ended up punching him square in the nose, breaking it clean.

After high school, she decided to follow in her parents' footsteps (somewhat) and wanted to become a wildlife biologist.

[ REASON FOR CHOICE ]
Fianna got a job with a different forest park than the one she grew up living in. This park had a hard time keeping poachers out during the non-hunting seasons. She was responding to a report of shooting down by an off-stream that many of the deer bedded in during the fawning season. When she went to check things out, Fianna caught a local politician and his friends poaching many of the deer in a clearing. While Fianna waited for backup, the politician found her observing them and decided to play 'The Most Dangerous Game'. They had chased her for miles after they had stripped her bare and forced her to run off a cliff.

While she laid bloodied and broken on the forest floor, a woman in a white aura came to her aid. She offered Fianna the chance to live and take revenge on those who have wronged her in exchange for being her vessel. Fia accepted and became Abnoda, the goddess of the forests, rivers, and streams, servant and protector of all that the goddess holds dear.

[ RELICS / FAMILIARS ]
A young, white, ghost-like doe, with a few light tan spots on its back, like it was taken before its time.

[ POWERS ]
-Perfect aim with a bow and arrow: Fianna prefers not to use violence if she doesn't have to or until she hits a breaking point. The goddess Abnoda gave her a special bow and quiver. Any arrows that are let loose of the bow end where ever Fianna targets them.
-Sleath: She is able to walk in the forest without a sound. After all, how can she hunt those that have done crimes against nature loudly?
-Can control nature: specifically water and plants

[ INVOCATION ]

Abnoda, goddess of the forest, rivers, streams, and the hunt
[ OTHER INTERESTS/SKILLS ]
-Can grow just about anything in the soil aided with some water
-Has primitive survival skills; meaning that she can create shelter and a somewhat comfortable life with what nature gives her
-Has knowledge of medicinal plants that grow in the wild
-Has a wonderful singing voice

I will admit that this is my first group RP in a while. Just let me know if I need to improve anything. :)

@Angel Of Red

First, welcome back to group RPing! A couple of points:

• Not related to your CS, but I would love it if you could join our Discord! It would make communication and all that a lot easier if you could join.
• I really love the character and I think she'll fit in really nicely! I think I just want to see a little more elaboration in some of the points.
• Your personality could use a little more elaboration. It's a bit short as of right now. Especially with the part about being "ditzy" and stuff. I would love to just see a little bit more about how Fia is.
• Backstory could also use a little more. I think the backstory is very important and I'd like to see some more information about her life, especially about the entire Communicator situation, which isn't really touched upon.
• Powers also could use some more specification, especially the part about controlling plants and water and stuff. That needs to have some bounds as to how her abilities work.
• Lastly, there are some coding issues that could be fixed, if you could just read through and make those changes that would be great.

I love her and I can't wait to see your changes :)
