Appearance:
Name: Janine Kortain.
Age: 20.
Gender: Female.
Power(s): Janine was able to turn into an Abyssinian cat, being able to communicate with others cats and animals better, and can still speak although it takes some effort, except she can't turn back human.
Personality: Janine was always a curious person and a bit spacey at that. She has over time sort of adopted a more cat like outlook on things, namely being less inclined to listen or actually do anything she doesn't want to. Generally she is well behaved but she has her moments and seven years as a cat has sort of taken its toll on her patience with people. She would rather be treated as an equal by other people and tends to get a bit sassy with anyone who continues to annoy her about it.
Brief Bio: Janine learned about her power when she was thirteen when she started mimicking her cat and turned into one in the process. She thought it was amazing at first having thought she was normal in a city full of super humans but she quickly discovered it was both a blessing and a curse when she couldn't return to being human. Her parents had to make some adjustments for her making sure she had food and water while they still had to live they're lives. It wasn't all bad considering Janine had her cat as company and the two of them became a fair bit closer considering they could better communicate than before. She actually managed to continue her schooling as awkward as it was for the private tutor they hired at her behest but college was something out of the question until something could be sorted out.
Eventually she ended up living with her friend at her request when her cat passed away from age which gave her a bit of freedom. She kind of got babied by her friends because of her state and she got annoyed more and more with it because she hated being treated like she couldn't do anything. There were definitely things she couldn't do anymore but she tried her best not to let it get to her and has done her best to keep going. She actually stopped a thief from robbing the apartment with a few good scratches, a bite or two, and some nasty language she most likely wouldn't repeat. Janine tried to help other people once or twice when she snuck out of the apartment a couple times but its hard to get noticed when her power is as limiting as it is noticeable.
Desiree Greymere - "Desi"
Age :
Twenty-Two Years
Gender:
Female
Power(s):
Skin Illuminessence - she can make her skin shimmer and produce a soft glowing light. It could help you find your phone in your bedroom at night!
Personality:
Desi is often considered the hyperactive child stuck in a woman's body. She's bubbly and talks all the time. She giggles at inappropriate times and smiles quite often at everyone. There are moments, however, when a switch goes off and Desi turns into a rueful witch. When she gets angry she doesn't hold anything back- screaming and fighting with someone at the drop of a pen. As long as she's taking her medication she's a really nice person!
Brief Bio:
Desi first discovered her gift at the age of six- when she turned her illuminessence on and couldn't figure out how to turn it off. She walked around glowing and shimmering for three weeks straight- try having to sleep like that! The only thing she found nice about her powers was he never had to turn on the light to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. And it was also pretty to look at, but other than that it was useless.
Desi was diagnosed bipolar at the age of ten when a male student called her power stupid and she stabbed a pencil through his hand. She has been on medication ever since- antidepressants are the reason behind her often inappropriate responses and constantly smiling. She now works as a waitress in a small coffee shop in the middle of the busy city.
NAME:
Eliot Symington
AGE:
21
GENDER:
Male
POWER(S):
Super Speed – Not a useless power you say? Well, tell that to the guy in the wheelchair.
PERSONALITY:
Eliot has a dry, dark sense of humour no doubt related to his overall aura of depression and melancholy. He reacts poorly to pity – and, by poorly, that means aggressively. He enjoys picking fights with Good Samaritans who try to help him move away from superhero fights. The good thing is, if they get close to his fist, he has a mean uppercut!
BRIEF BIO:
Eliot's powers manifested at the tender age of seven, back when he could still walk. For a good month, he was envied in school even by others with relatively 'good' powers because, well, who doesn't love super speed? Eliot certainly did, and he practiced with it all the time, impressing friends and family.
Then, ironically, when he was in the car with his parents who insisted that they drive him to the park due to battling in the skies above Century City, he was in an accident with a resulting spinal injury that unfortunately left him unable to walk. When his powers were still uncontrollable as a young man, he broke more than 5 wheelchairs a week, thankfully paid for by the huge insurance payout.
Now, on his way to work in a Call Centre, he only breaks one every once in a while.
Do you have a supervillain/plot in mind for the group to deal with, or is this going to be a case of "play as you go"? I have no problem with either, but I'd like to tailor any character I write up to your plans as a GM.
Appearance :
Name :
Ken Brent Englund
Age :
45 years old
Gender
Male
Power(s):
Olympic level physical status, at the age of forty five, as a Couch Potato. Not bad. Not bad at all. But it's diddily squat compared to anyone with real super human powers.
Personality :
Ken is a smart, clever and quick witted individual. He loves to study. In fact, it's all it does. Study and read. Read and study. Get no excersize, eat like a pig, gain no weight. Have the body of Mr. Universe, the good looks of Brad Pitt in his glory days, but not the arrogance to go with it. Ken isn't arrogant. He knows he's weak and pathetic compared to people with real power. Many heroes and villains are even quite smarter than he is. He knows he can't pretend to be Batman either. He was an Actor for ten years, from the age of twenty to thirty five, before dropping out of Hollywood. He has millions of dollars, but he's not a techno-genius who can attach magical anti-shark spray to an Omnipotent Utility Belt. If anything he's more scared than people without any power at all, because he's just threatening enough to be on a minor villain's radar, but not threatening enough to fight back, so he keeps a very low profile.
Brief Bio :
He starred in the movie Ninjato Schminjato, a Comedy that won Academy Awards and an Oscar. Four movies later he had mad millions of dollars for each film, winning Best Male Actor Five times in a row. As a child, he had a good life. He was loved by his father and mother. He was disciplined but spoiled at the same time. Given smacks at the back of the head or spanked, but he didn't resent his child hood, in fact, he gave his parents credit for every time he was supposed to give a speech.
He married Stephany Victoira, now Stephany Englund, twenty years ago. He stayed faithful until recently when she died during the cross fires of Super Heroes and Super Villains.
