Real Name: Osvald Samson
Codename: Viking
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance: The most standout feature of Osvald is his green hair. A trait he inherited from his biological father, Leonard Samson. From a glance, this seems to be the only trait he inherited from Leonard, as he lacks the height and muscular frame of his father. Having a much leaner build. With emerald green eyes, Osvald’s angular features tend to give him a rather piercing glare.
When not fighting crime, Osvald tends to wear casual clothes with a more formal bend. Like a T-shirt and blazer. However, when fighting crime, he wears a pair of black tactical pants and an Asgardian armoured vest.
Personality: Osvald tries to be a laid back individual, though often struggles with keeping his temper in check. Often looking for an outlet, whether that training or whatever sport he is allowed to play considering his abilities.
He is rather confident in his powers, sometimes to the point of being cocky. Especially considering his relatively young age and thus his powers are rather under developed.
Powers/Abilities: Osvald Samson is half Asgardian, half Human (Gamma Mutate). Given his young (in comparison to other Asgardians) age, most if not all his Asgardian powers are yet to manifest. Though it could be theorised that it bolsters his strength, but most of his superhuman strength comes from being empowered by Gamma Radiation.
  • Superhuman Strength: While not exposed to a dosage of gamma radiation as great as the Hulk, the Abomination, or even the She-Hulk, Samson was granted great superhuman strength. As a result of his gamma ray exposure, he possessed sufficient superhuman strength to lift about 70 tons. His great strength also extends into the powerful muscles of his legs, allowing him to leap great heights and distances, though far less than the Hulk or Abomination. Samson has been known to leap approximately 580 feet straight up into the air, and to a maximum reported distance of 910 feet.
  • Superhuman Stamina: As in the case of the Hulk, She-Hulk and Abomination, the gamma ray exposure has dramatically increased the efficiency of Samson's musculature, though not as greatly. As a result, his musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. Samson can physically exert himself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
  • Superhuman Durability: Samson's gamma ray enhanced physique is much harder and more resistant to physical injury than a normal human. Samson's skin is able to resist penetration wounds from high caliber bullets or blades composed of most conventional materials. Samson is also physically durable enough to withstand multiple blows from the Hulk, while in an enraged emotional state, and sustain little to no injury. His bones and muscles are strong and resilient enough to be able to survive a fall at terminal velocity reached after free-falling 4,000 feet in a feet-first attitude at 145 miles per hour against sidewalk concrete, provided he lands upright. Even if he doesn't land upright, Samson wouldn't sustain serious physical injury.

Though he may unlock more powers later, or become even stronger should he be exposed to Gamma Radiation or Asgardian Magic.
Avengers Sponsor: Bruce Banner/The Hulk
History: Osvald Samson never really knew his real parents.
Leonard Samson had a short relationship with an Asgardian woman, which resulted in the pregnancy. The pregnancy was kept hidden from Leonard when she returned to Asgard. When he was born, his green hair made him an outcast. As an infant, he was sent to Midgard as they thought it was bad omen.
He was left at an orphanage with a note with his name on it.
Osvald never really fit in, given his green hair, and predisposition to throwing tantrums. It quickly became apparent he was no ordinary kid, as he started to exhibit his superhuman powers. So, was sent to a SHIELD sponsored orphanage for super powered individuals. After various tests, training and experiments, his file was buried in the SHIELD database as HYDRA sought him as a potential asset. He was taken to a Siberian research facility under the guise of extra training to work alongside the Avengers. The whole time, they kept convincing him he would be fighting for good, while actually training him to fight for Evil. When he was sixteen, he started to get an inclination that something wasn’t quite right. So he broke out to live on his own. Thinking he was old enough to survive on his own.
He spent the next years of his life in relative peace. Living alone in a log cabin in Siberia. His enhanced physiology made it a lot easier to survive. It wasn’t until Bruce found him while investigating an unusually high concentration of Gamma Radiation near an old HYDRA base that he considered joining the NEO initiative. Convinced by Bruce in that it would be a could opportunity to understand more about his condition. So, at 20 years old, Osvald made his way to New York to join the world’s mightiest heros.

Real Name: Brett Hastings
Hero Name: Typhoon
Appearance: Standing at just over 6’5, Brett Hastings is a mountain of a man. Skin tanned from years of working on boats and outdoors. A muscular frame from a regular training regiment.
Having moved to Second City in an attempt to leave the Hero’s life behind. As such he doesn’t have much of a hero costume anymore. Often reluctantly fighting crime in his casual clothes. Which is often a white T shirt and jeans.
Sex: Male
Age: 29
Powers: Brett Hastings is a Half Atlantean who studied for most of his childhood at the Silent School. As such, has the following powers.
Atlantean Physiology - The Atlanteans are offshoots of humanity that are biologically adapted to the deep ocean environment. All their abilities are by-products of their bodies being adapted to survive unprotected in the tremendous pressures of the ocean depths.
Amphibious Nature: Typhoon, as an Atlantean, can breath underwater and on land. He can be immersed indefinitely without suffering any ill effects but being Atlantean Hybrid due to his human lineage, he can survive on land longer than an average Atlantean. This length can be extended by the humidity in the atmosphere but eventually prolonged dehydration will weaken him thus he must return to aquatic environment at various period.
Enhanced Vision: His ability to see in the murky depths of the ocean allows him exceptional night vision while on land. He has claimed that his eyes are adapted to see at 6,000 fathoms (or 36,000 feet below the surface of the water).
Enhanced Hearing: several times more acute than human capacity.
Enhanced Smell: several times more acute than human capacity.
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Stamina
Superhuman Durability
Superhuman Reflexes: Typhoon’s reflexes are on the order of 12-15 times faster than a normal human.

Magic -
Electricity Generation: Using magic, Typhoon can create bolts of electricity and throw them.
Hydrokinesis: He inherited the ability to mystically control water and water-based solutions for a variety of effects. He can manipulate water currents, create whirlpools and water columns, and boil or freeze vast bodies of water.
Mystical Detection: He can sense and locate the presence of mystical beings and identify them as such on sight.
Connection with the The Clear: Typhoon can communicate with marine life and even make them obey him. His connection to The Clear also bolsters his Hydrokinetic abilities.

Personality: Brett Hastings is a reluctant hero. He wasn’t always. When he was younger he really enjoyed fighting crime and protecting the ocean. However, he was in the game long. He lost a few too many friends. Saw the world wasn’t changing for the better. So, he got out. Some other Atlantean Mystic or Royal stepped up and took his place. He didn’t know or care. Someone always did. He still has his code of honour though. He won’t stand idly by while witnessing a crime. He will step in and help. He just doesn’t actively go out and look for crime. At least he doesn’t mean to. With his apartment in the bad part of town, and most nights spent in shitty dive bars, he often finds himself stepping in to stop petty crime.
History: Brett Hastings was born in Atlantis, to an Atlantean mother and Human Father. Growing up in Atlantis, it was discovered that he had a knack for the mystic arts. Despite being half human he was reluctantly accepted into the Silent School. Despite being mocked and ridiculed during his studies for being half human, the human half seemed to allow him a stronger connection to the mystical energies. Brett never knew his father, but it was hypothesised by the Silent School Faculty that he may have been a powerful magician.
When Brett was sixteen he made a mistake that would severely injure three other students. As such, he was kicked out of the Silent School. Being half Human meant that few people were willing to support him, so he made it his mission to prove himself. So, he set off on a pilgrimage to prove to others, and most importantly himself, that he was Atlantean. Traveling to all the known Kingdoms of Atlantis. First traveling to Kingdom of the Fishermen, where he learned how Atlantean technology worked. Here he created his hydro pulse pistols that would serve as his sidearms for the rest of his journey, and into his heroic career. Then he made his way to the Brinedom. Where he fought and trained with the crustacean-like people that lived there. To prove his martial prowess to the Brinedom and earn their respect, Brett was tasked with spending a month in the Trench. By using bioluminescent magic and locking himself in a cave, he survived and returned to the Brinedom with a head of a Trench Dweller. So, he continued his pilgrimage. Making his way to Xebel. Where he learned to master his mystic abilities. Making connection with the Clear, and seeing how magic could fuse with Atlantean technology. It was here he learned of the Kingdom of the Deserters and their fabled forge. So, he once again packed up, this time leaving the ocean. Heading inland to find the Kingdom of the Deserters.
Once he found it, he put all he had learnt into practice to forge a trident. Combining Atlantean magic and technology to make a weapon worthy of Atlantis.
With his new Weapon he returned to Atlantis. Only to be greeted by none other than the king. Brett Hastings, who was now twenty one, had a reputation now. One that the King had heard. Brett was pushed into the role of Protector of the Seas. Which lasted all of four years before he got tired of living in the King’s shadow. The world never changed. So, Brett left the ocean and moved to Second City, where he bought a shitty apartment. Worked at a water treatment plant during the day, and drank at shitty bars at night.
Equipment: The only equipment of note that Brett Hastings still has are his pistols and Trident. Though the Trident is hung up as decoration in the bar he frequents as decoration, and the blasters are in a locked box under his bed.

<Snipped quote by Sanity43217>

It's near the edge of the eastern seaboard from what I remember. Very large city and it's not near any mountain ranges as I recall.


So is it a costal city?
Thinking of making an Atlantean.
Roughly where is Second City? Just in terms of weather and nearby geographical landmarks.
@Sanity43217

Hey, if you don't mind trying to form bonds ahead of time, I have a proposal. My character, Faira, came from an unnamed mercenary group to the royal guard, could it be possible that she was a member of The Shattered Discipline, and knows Calral from there?

Might be she taught him swordplay, as they use the same kind.


Yeah, sounds good. Gives Calral a reason to join the group.

I should have the character done in the next few days. Just had a hectic week. Birthdays, weddings, the whole thing.
