Need Jumbus to post first

Golden Age

I could actually see the fate of Alistair's parents be in some way related to Tommy's parents and/or how he was born with the ability to talk to animals. They were quite close (well, the full breadth of Pakistan apart but in terms of the world map,that's quite close)

Heidi took the papers that were handed to her and looked through them. Heidi had some sympathy for Willow's cause, but ecoterrorists were still terrorists. They still targeted and hurt civilians. She did feel Utopian's gaze linger on her a fraction of a second longer than the others when he told everyone they were keeping fatality to a minimum. Heidi knew that she needed to think of this as the new norm. That killing should avoided absolutely and that the villains she will fight now needed to be tried in a court of law. There was still a ghost of her old commander's voice in her head that she could hear clearly, saying "This is a one-time nonlethal operation." Heidi was a soldier. The only reason she wouldn't kill every single enemy on sight was because she had orders not too. Part of her hoped she would be able to develop some kind of inbuilt moral compass to prevent this way of thinking in the future, but there was a lot of blood on her hands.

Heidi soon realised that they were not going to be provided with transport and were expected to make their own way to the Atrium. She followed the others to the parking lot, where she quickly made up her mind that the most appropriate ride for her purposes was the VW bus that looked like it was held together with rust, hopes and dreams. She smiled in spite of herself. She knew of a Jeep Wrangler just like this. It was nicknamed 'Lucy' and was the most reliable personell carrier on the field. Besides, you don't waste the effort painting hopeless deathtraps.

Heidi followed the geriatric wizard into the camper and nodded with approval as she looked around, before grimacing when he took out his own skeleton. She set her duffel bag down at her feet.

"Well, that was unsettling. But nice place you got here. I'm Heidi Williams. Can I get suited up in your bathroom?

Golden Age

Jungle Boy

Archetype(s) - Tarzan, Mowgli
Name - Tommy Atkins
Alias - Jungle Boy
Age - 29

Powers/Skills/Equipment - Tommy has the ability to communicate with and understand the speech of every type of animal. He also has borderline superhuman agility and catlike reflexes, as well as possessing peak human physiology in regards to strength and speed. He's trained in guerilla warfare, basic military strategy, archery and firearms. Tommy has a sharp intellect and is an absurdly quick learner. The equipment he usually possesses include a homemade wooden bow with a quiver of arrows, shorts and foot wraps made from fragments of his old uniform bound with leather straps, and animal pelts adorning his waist and torso.

Weaknesses - Tommy cannot control animals or force them to do his bidding against their will. And besides the fruits of his unusual childhood, training and the ability to communicate with animals, he is just an ordinary man with no superpowers.

Personality - WIP
Experience - Seven years of active service, but a lifetime of survival experience.
Appearance -


BRIEF Bio - Tommy does not know who his parents are, though given his Caucasian complexion, there's a good chance they were British soldiers. He grew up alone and abandoned in the mountains of Waziristan, on the border between British India and Afghanistan. He does not know why or how, but as soon as he was of age to speak, he found he could understand and communicate with the animals around him. He was able to barter his life, trade, tame the animals and even learn skills from them. By the time soldiers found him at twelve years old, the feral child was an accomplished survivalist and tracker and fearsome hunter.

The soldiers took him in, taught him to speak, read and write English, gave him a rudimentary education, and explained the current state of the wider world. He found a bow and arrows lying around once and took up archery as both a hobby and a tool to make hunting much easier and more efficient. He was then trained to be a soldier and instructed in the use of firearms and guerrilla warfare. But he was disillusioned with war itself. All of the enemies of the British Army throughout the 1930's were small rebel factions who just wanted to resist the tyranny of the Empire. Tommy eventually decided to desert and travel to the United States, a land advertised as neutral, free, and a place where any hardworking person could make it in life. He vowed that the next time he took up arms, if he ever took up arms, it would only be to oppose true evil.

Potential Storylines - Besides beginning his road to Herodom and joining a team, Tommy could also try learning to drive.
Additional Notes - Wanted to capture the more 'pulp' side of Golden Age comics. It was this or a detective.

Oh yeah meant to ask this;

@Jumbus Was the Wizard's van a camper, a people carrier or a work van?

Guardians Of Earth (A Superhero RP)

Guardian Of Earth HQ. Ravenbrook, New York.

A young woman in a bomber jacket with a duffel bag slung over her shoulder managed to sneak in moments before Utopian began his briefing, and found a seat. She was out of breath, had a red face and her hair was a mess. Her makeup was very light today. All of this would prevent all but the most observant from recognising her at a glance from the military recruitment advertisements featuring Shock and Awe. Plus they were always a duo, in matching makeup with mirrored styled blonde hair that had seemed to be almost glowing. Today, Heidi Williams was a far cry from her best self.

She took a seat, thankful that she wasn't late. The bus had been cancelled, and lacking any other method of transport, ran the whole nine miles from her rented apartment to the Guardians of Earth HQ. It had taken her just over an hour and ten minutes. She listened to the briefing. It was brief, but truthfully, Heidi didn't have many questions. She was used to following orders, in a job where asking more questions than the bare minimum was frowned upon. The one thing she was most curious about quickly got asked, which was Weeping Willow's powerset. While she waited for an answer to that, she asked her own question.

"Is the Abandoned Atrium merely acting as our checkpoint or do we have reason to suspect the enemy's operations are nearby?"

Guardians Of Earth (A Superhero RP)

Shock

Name: Heidi Williams

Alias: Shock

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Appearance: Heidi is tall for a girl her age, with an athletic, muscular build. She has a rather square, handsome freckle-covered face when she's not in makeup. Her naturally jet back hair was dyed blonde for her role as Shock, but in the months since, her dark roots have been growing out. Heidi's casual dress sense is rather butch. She wears cargo pants, boots or sneakers. She wears a variety of light t-shirts underneath an embroidered jacket.

Her costume, which she was allowed to keep as a personal effect, was designed to work in tandem with her power. The entire outfit is a full bodysuit made of layers of different polymers that make it as touch as a standard bulletproof vest, as well as fully insulated from electricity, preventing her vitals from suffering any damage from potential blowback of her powers. Her gauntlet alone are metal and designed to conduct electricity. The colour palette of the costume is red and gold, and the costume was designed with a military flare in mind yet form-hugging for a little hint of sex appeal.

Superpower: Heidi was born with the ability to absorb, emit, and manipulate electricity. After having spend over half her life training and experimenting with this power, she has grown both creative and quite powerful. Her biggest weakness is that she herself isn't impervious to electric shocks so water is a bad mix and she generally tries to avoid it.

Skills: Heidi is trained in several types of mixed martial arts, escape arts, guerrilla warfare, military and firearms training, and can drive most common vehicles to a professional standard.

Equipment: The belt on her costume contains two all-metal billy clubs. When not in costume she carries a set of knuckles just in case.

Personality: Heidi has become a rather bitter person. Years of being judged and criticized for just doing the role that was assigned to her has resulted in a rather warped perspective and a lack of trust in the people around her. She is very quick to snap and holds strangers at a distance until she gets to know and trust them enough to let her walls down. But the moment she's in costume and eyes are on her, she slips into her loud, corny, gung-ho action hero persona like it's second nature. She truly loves being a Hero. But her persona used to merely be a heightened version of her real self until her real self became increasingly jaded and scarred. Now her persona is purely a performance. An impression of her old self from back when life was simple. When she was the good guy against the bad guys.

Biography: Heidi was an aimless high school dropout who volunteered for a military program when she just fifteen. Her relationship with her parents was always rocky but the day she moved out was the last time she talked to them. She was born with her superpower, but the most it could do was short out a smartphone. She was paired with a fellow volunteer named Madison Weaver who had the power to turn her body into steel wire. The two of them were worked to the bone together, and by the time they were both eighteen years old, they were considered ready for field assignments. But why they fought military targets, their real job was to be poster girls. They went by the monikers of 'Shock' and 'Awe' and appeared on many TV shows, sponsored advertisements and army recruitment campaigns together.

This lucrative career lasted several years until a few months ago when Madison was killed in action. Something in Heidi broke. Suffering from grief, P.T.S.D, and disillusionment, she quit the military and was formally discharged. She didn't know what to do with her life now, and began floating between jobs which typically only ever lasted until her current boss recognised her. Even Vet spaces didn't take kindly to her. Some of them even knew dead young men who had joined because of her work.

With the Guardians of Earth recruiting new Heroes, Heidi put her all into applying. The way she saw it, this was the last avenue available to her. Her last chance to do something noble worthwhile before considering going back to the military. Or less desirable; truly swallowing her pride and tracking down her parents.

Relationships: Rebecca Williams (Mother - Estranged), Pete Williams (Father - Estranged)

Extra: N/A

Weaknesses - Silver

Personality - WIP

Appearance - WIP

BRIEF Bio - Chasse was born a werewolf. His mother was a Cherokee werewolf. His father was a Siberian shaman. His mother's tribe also included a shaman who taught him alongside his father. Even as a child, he had an unnaturally strong connection with spirits. He didn't even need any of the usual Shaman tools such as smoke or brews to be able to enter a trance and communicate with spirits. But being so many different things meant he never truly belonged anywhere. Werewolves were inherently distrustful of any magic wielder. Shamans were equally distrustful of monsters. So he grew up to be a wonderer, finding a living wherever he went and never staying in one place longer than his welcome lasted. When he felt brave, he would offer his services as a Shaman, sometimes even acting as a Medium. This would quickly make hima target, however, and he promptly moved on.
