I'll post later today. Apologies, I haven't been in the right mindset lately.

Edit: Nevermind, just continue the story. Sorry, still not in the right headspace.

The Shadow

Name
Zane Wulfe

Hero Name
Shadow Spectre

Nicknames
Dr Wulfe, Shads

Gender
Male

Age
31

Date of Birth
25th October

Physique
Zane's actual body shifts regularly due to his powers, but his 'base' form is that of an eighteen year old, similar to how he looked before the incident where he recieved his powers. About 6'1" with decent musculature, with his hair forming a wild mane around his face. His entire body is pitch black, save for his eyes which glow with a purple hue. His casual wear consists of a pair of jeans and a purple t-shirt, more out of habit than anything else.

Blood Type
N/A

Occupation
Hero, Scientist

Side
Hero

Affiliation
H.E.R.O., Nova Labs/Force

Tier
A

Personality
Zane is called many things. Brilliant, ruthless, caring, a demon, and an angel.
This dictomy is caused by issues early on in his career, as he dealt with the stress of his new profession by shutting off his emotions and operating purely on logic. While his friends in the hero community broke him out of that, he still views much of life through a logical lens. Such as how he deals with criminals, preferring to break them either mentally or physically so that they feel afraid to return to a life of crime. He is fiercely protective of both his friends and the city, even going so far as to create a fighting style to limit the amount of damage he can cause. Due to his body being harder to kill than his fellows, he will put himself in potentially life threatening situations to defend them. He despises those like Flamebird, who use their power without thinking about the cost to the people they are meant to protect.

Backstory
Zane was your ordinary high school student, admittedly an incredibly intelligent one, until he took an internship with Aurora Labs. His mentor, John Merci, was working on a generator that ran on Dark Matter. Unfortunately, due to a villain fight, the machine went wrong and bombarded the duo with dark matter. It should have killed them, but Merci had an energy absorption ability and Zane unknowingly had the power Adaption. His body converted itself into the Dark Matter to survive, though the process turned his power from adaption to Erebus. The energy Merci drained had overwhelmed him, shutting down the higher functions of his brain and turning him into a rampaging monster. Zane knew he had to stop him, even with this body he was unused to.

His debut as Shadow Spectre was bittersweet, as he was forced to fight his mentor to protect everyone else. Despite being a hero, he continued his studies and eventually graduated university with a PHD in Physics. He later formed Nova Labs with his comrades Percy 'Patch' Worke, Raphael Phobos, and Sam Moore; better known as the heroes Dreadnaut, Ragdoll, and Ion Knight. As they regularly work together, they have been dubbed as the team Nova Force, by the press.

Power
Erebus: Zane's body consists of Dark Matter, which he can shape at will. His body seems to be controlled by a purple core about the size of an apple, which is not as malleable as the rest of his body.
He can manipulate shadows into constructs to attack with. Similar to the green lantern, he can form anything he can imagine. The contructs can vary in density depending on what his mental picture of it is, for example a car would be heaver than a pillow despite being the same volume. He uses the shadows mostly as a binding tool, or a shield, as there is less risk of collateral damage if he fights with his shifting abilities, though when he wants to terrify criminals or just needs backup, he unleashes his more nightmarish creatures, designed to draw fear out of those who see them.

Misc
Strong light can weaken him, though UV light seems to cancel that out.
As I don't want to create three new sheets for his comrades, I'll just list their powers here.

• Dreadnaut While technically powerless, he has converted 75% of his body into cybernetic parts. He pilots the Vulcan Mech, a 15ft tall behemoth that can lift up to 50 tons and comes equipped with non-lethal weaponry. Rank C.
• Ragdoll Healing Strings, he can turn blood into super stem cells which can regenerate damage done. When used on himself it leaves stitch marks. Overusing his ability can lead to anemia. Rank C.
• Ion Knight Generator, he is a moving fission reactor. Wears a suit to both stop radiation leaking out, as well as a powered exoskeleton for combat. Rank B.

Nova Labs is located just outside the city limits, due to it's potentially explosive nature. The Nova Force patrols in Brookside, as it's simultaneously the closest and most needing of their aid.

Ninetails

Name
Felix Volpe

Hero Name
Ninetails, Formerly Fire Fist

Nicknames
Fox, Red, Pyro

Gender
Male

Age
23

Date of Birth
June 17th

Physique
In order to maximise his powers effectiveness, Felix's body has been trained to a good balance of speed and power, giving him the musculature of a professional martial artist. In his base form he can run at 15mph and lift 90kg. This training didn't do jack for his height though, as he stands a mere 5'1.

Blood Type
A

Occupation
Hero

Side
Hero

Affiliation
Formerly C.E.L.T., currently H.E.R.O.

Tier
A-

Personality
Felix is a trickster and prankster, which was a defence mechanism he developed growing up to hide his depression and loneliness from the other children. Despite being a fire based hero, he fights like the wind, flowing through battle and keeping the opponent off balance, before finally finishing with a full power strike to the weak spot.
Due to his past, he doesn't trust that easily. He acts friendly towards people, but doesn't let them see the real him. Those he does let in, he'd protect with his life.

Backstory
Growing up in Ireland, Felix was considered a weak D-Class for most of his youth due to the fact his body could yet handle Manifestation. Told comstantly to give up on being a hero, he worked tirelessly to prove them wrong, that even if his power was useless he would become a great hero. Joining up with the Continental European Law-enforcement Trifecta, or C.E.L.T., he started out as the hero Fire Fist when he was merely 14, having attained the rank of D+ due to sheer physical skills, and stayed that way for six years until his fight with the villain Morrigan.

The fight pushed him to his very limits, he couldn't run because there were civillians trapped behind him. Just as it looked like Morrigen was about to win, something clicked inside him and all nine of his tails were released. He launched a massive punch forward, brimming with white fire, that instantly killed Morrigan... and wiped out the block around him with the shockwave.

Due to C.E.L.T.'s desire to not become the embarrassment to the I.C.O.S.A. that H.E.R.O. was, they gave Felix an ultimatum; move to Castleburg or be fired from being a hero.

Four the past four years, he has been working on controlling his abilities, but he is still one of the higher collateral damage heroes in the city.

Power
Kitsune This grants enhanced senses, along with a slowing of his aging by a factor of 10 once he reached adulthood. He also gains the abilities Foxfire and Manifestation.

Manifestation Felix can manifest energy tails to increase his physical abilities. It increases by 5N, where N is the number of tails. However, the stamina cost puts his time limit at 300 minutes divided by N, meaning at max power he can only last half an hour.
Foxfire When used on it's own, it is a black flame that forms around his hands, which are too cold to actually burn anything but can empower his strikes to deal 10% more damage. He can form it into multiple shapes and uses it as a melee weapon. When manifesting tails, the colour of the flames changes depending on the number. In ascending order the colours are: Crimson, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Indigo, Violet, and White, which also increases the power the flames impart on his strikes by 10% each, the final level doubling his already insane punching power. Though the fire cannot hurt him, he cannot produce as much as other fire heroes, limited to around producing a meter cubed at maximum.

Personality
Considered the 'leader' of the Nova Force, both due to his calm nature and being considered an A Rank threat. He honestly detests how much stock people have in the tiers list, a C Rank like Patch could defeat an S rank in the right circumstances.
A scientist by nature and profession, he enjoys taking apart the mysteries of the universe. His logical nature also applies to combat, preferring to end things quickly to avoid collateral damage. He possesses an unyielding hatred for heroes who have no mind for the city they are supposed to be protecting.

"Would you excuse me a second?" Jack asked, standing up and heading out the back. For a while there was just the regular chatter before the sounds of screaming overpowered it. Those who knew dwarven were either blushing or impressed that someone knew so many swears. After thirty seconds, he re-entered the room, adjusting his hat, and returned to the table.

"That's better." Jack said, his face like a contented cat, "Apologies, I've had a few (dozen) bad experiences with ancient treasure maps. Things are buried for a reason." He lamented that he didn't have enough money for another beer, even if this stuff is weak as piss compared to back home.

"I'm not thrilled about it, but needs must. You have yourself a professional historian and artefact retrieval expert on board.

Question, does anyone here speak dwarven? Cuz Jack is about to go a cussing.
