Bio/Personality: Born to an African American/ Native American father and a mother from Barbados, Xia was originally born in the Virgin Islands where she spent the first 3 years there as a child. From the time she was born and through her life, Xia was quite a rambunctious one since childhood.

Usually in fights and in trouble, Xia was never afraid to stand up for herself. Going from fighting girl and then to guys who picked on her and then having a bit of a temper, she was a bit difficult to deal with. Her father was in the navy, mostly having to move around to different places her father was stationed. This allowed her to see different cultures such as Hawaii, Japan, and even Puerto Rico.

Despite her behavior problem as a younger child, she eventually got better with her attitude and began maturing a bit. She have big heart for people and very caring towards the children. To match her aggression, she took up sports, Capoeira, and MMA to channel that aggression into something positive.

When her father got injured from a car accident and the injuries caused him to not have a lot of mobility along with constant muscle pain, Xia wanted to take up physical therapy and massage therapy to try and help treat her father from his pain. Even with an outspoken nature, she is a sweetheart deep down.

She's had a few relationship problems through her teens. Most of her boyfriends cheated on her or just tried fighting her. She lost her virginity at 16 but then dumped a week later after being used by him. Since then, she's had many more relationship issues and at one time, dated female.

With all that she's been through, he mother noticed all the stress she's had living at home trying to help her father, dealing with relationships, and just being unhappy in general where she was living. As a suggestion, her mother offered that she should move away and start brand new and that's where Sol City came to play.

It have not been long since Xia moved to Sol City, maybe a month or more now and she is currently still getting used to such a lively city. No friends yet but she keeps herself busy while looking to find new work in her profession so to make the money she'd like. She have no idea what's to come but she will make the best of it.

@Zelosse Alright, thanks

@Zelosse Hello there, I was contemplating on joining but just wondering, if I made a character, would magma be allowed as a chosen element?

City of Treaft! (Semi-Private)

Leaning against the corner building wall on the alley side, Solomon was able to listen closely to the conversation the two were having. That's right! Both of them have been on the news before. Favorable mentions of the female, the name escaped him at the moment, but he was thinking in the lines of Guardian, or The Shield, or Soldier girl, or was it Agent? he didn't fully remember but he did take a look at the male as well.

He recall hearing about him on the news as well. Mixed reactions at best. he sounded totally badass but it did leave Solomon wondering if what he was doing could actually be considered 'good'. Some feared him, that's for certain but the comment he made left Solomon to ponder for a moment. he said: "It's the only way to really stop them." and "I'm doing the world a favor here."

Was it really the only way to stop them? Solomon could still hear the heartbeats of the ones who were taken down by the female confirming that she didn't kill them. So yes, these men were battered but they were still stopped, none of the ones she fought, died and they would soon be taken away by the cops.

Solomon never took a life before but the fact that he's witnessing an anti-hero willing to cross the line because of his own beliefs, caused Solomon to second guess this hero game.

City of Treaft! (Semi-Private)

What is a hero? A hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. What is a vigilante? A vigilante is a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.

Some say that real heroes are the police, firefighters, EMTs, people in the military, and everyday folks that protects, encourage, and show natural affection to lowly ones who can't do for themselves. Some say the real heroes are the capes...people with powers or special skills that can do extra ordinary things. Some say that those same capes are nothing but vigilantes who think they are better or above the law enforcement who legally have the authority to uphold the law. There have been ones who took the law into their own hands and simply crossed lines that most heroes wouldn't cross to get the job done.

With many definitions, opinions, personal experiences circulating around the City of Treaft in regards to crime fighting and heroism, one individual was stuck in between this urban storm with a tangle of questions in his mind wondering what is considered right and what is considered wrong?

Solomon Bautista, 28 year old meat market butcher who works from 9 am to 7 pm mostly 5 days throughout the week. Nothing amazing or worth talking about n his personal life. Single, living in a half okay apartment on the corner of Monroe and 7th ave. One friend who plays video games day in and day out. Social life, only when he's practicing at his uncle's dojo. Oh yes...did he mention he's capable of releasing ultrasonic screams?

Not long ago, Solomon gained some abilities that at first made him think he was hallucinating but after doing a few tests, became someone that he never thought he'd become, a meta human. Yes, so far Solomon have kept it a secret, afraid of getting the wrong attention being that he considered himself a freak. At first, these gifts felt like a curse but that was until one night, he had an abrupt calling that he couldn't ignore.

Solomon was usually to himself before gaining these powers but after gaining them, he felt the need to put these powers to good use. There were a few scuffles. Fighting 3 guys who jumped a defenseless kid, chasing down someone that stole a personal item from someone else. Just little petty crimes that Solomon, while concealing his identity with his hoodie, stopped. Yeah, these were going to be unknown acts of righting the wrongs on his block while continuing his normal life but this night was different. This night, Solomon witnessed something he probably felt he shouldn't have seen.

Earlier, he heard a scream about a couple blocks away the caused him to stop himself from heading to the park and rushed that direction. On his way though, he could hear someone else at the site where the scream came from, using his enhanced hearing to nearly catch the who conversation. What was going on? Someone else was already there to take care of these goons? Solomon hitched a ride on the back of a truck to get there faster as by the time he got there, Solomon covered his head with his hoodie.

He stood to the side, noticing a costumed woman fighting these thugs and...actually kicking ass. Just from her actions, she looked as if she had unusual strength. Solomon was going to jump in but wanted to watch a little more this. That was until the woman who screamed before was being held by the ring leader.

Now...this was it! Solomon could step in the bring help! But wait...Solomon caught something with his hearing in that same general direction when another person showed up to the fray, taking that ring leader down. Not only that but Solomon covered his ears from the sharp pain her felt hearing the gunshots being fired, killing these guys that were involved in this.

Solomon's face showed an expression of shock. Was this....was this real? This man just killed in front of him to save the woman. The other badass woman who fought these guys, it was possible she killed some as well. For certain, blood was spilled all over the gravel. Solomon, unsure if he should show himself, hung back for a moment to see what would happen next now that the fighting was over.

Did these two know each other? Were they going to team up? Was it legal for them to do what they did? Did he witness something that would change this city for better or for worse? He didn't know but he sure as hell knew that he would soon find out.

Guild of Dishonor

After speaking out his concerns, Isago took notice of the woman that had an interesting ink design on her face. When she asked about the security, which Isago was wondering, his attention went back to Roxy when she explained what roles she needed. Lookouts, thieves, and someone to basically fight the security. Isago could do any of these roles but the fact that there were some there with them that were smaller and seemed more agile while others looked as if they were good with recon, Isago smirked knowing what role he could take up but he felt that he could be more effective with this particular role.

Hearing Kai's response to him, Isago agreed with his statement and then with his other question, Isago answered to the others along with Kai. "Well young one, seems whatever we are best at doing, we could choose unless Roxy feels we can fulfill another specific role." he looked at the others. "As for me, I'll handle fighting as security. I'm probably one of if not the largest one here. I'm quite strong and I'm obviously darkskinned and a former slave. I can cause plenty of diversion on my part just from my appearance alone and for my actions. I have the talent of causing ruckus." he pointed out.

"Besides, I'm in the mood to strike some opposers down. That is if you don't mind me going on the offensive?"

Hearing the next guy speak that he didn't know where he fits in, Isago was going to leave it to Roxy to choose.

@1Hawkeyes

I read it and that was beautifully done! I was already thinking of having Sound EFX in the middle. Not an established hero or vigilante but just using his powers when needed or handling situations if cops or no help is around. And yeah, he may not pick either side feeling that both anti-hero and hero actions depends on the situation.
