[Gothpuppy95]

[Metronome]

There really should be a "Hero or Villain" Field in the CS.

[Shin Majin]

Name: Evaine Garna (Goes by "Khymera," but her real name isn't a secret.)

Alignment: Hero

Abilities: Evaine possesses enough strength to lift over half a ton over her head without the assistance of adrenaline. Her reflexes are greater than the average human, she can run, jump, and climb much better, and she has canine auditory and olfactory senses. She can regenerate from nearly any injury, including the loss of limbs, though this takes days to do. Combined with her powerful claws and fangs, these make her a terrifying combatant. Lastly, she is capable of assimilating genetic data from other creatures and copying their traits, though she cannot control this ability, and it requires blood contact with one of the creature's body fluids.

Equipment: Custom-made clothes.

History: Evaine Garna was born in an illegal genetics research facility as subject EV-41. She was the decedent of a long line of experiments in creating a being that could consciously and voluntarily modify their own genetic code, and alter their body to reflect said changes. The results of her modifications were never discovered by her creators, however, as before her first birthday, the facility was discovered, and raided by the SWAT division of the local law enforcement and local heroes. The researchers were arrested, and any subjects who capable of living normal lives were sent to orphanages or homeless shelters. One of the officers, Lawrence Garna, took pity on EV-41, and took her in as his own child. This went over well with his wife, who was barren, and already looking to adopt. As she grew up, Evaine developed a love for physical activity, and was on her way to becoming a professional boxer.

Her fighting abilities and excellent physical health made her an ideal candidate for Dr. Malevolence's wicked experiments, and he abducted her and transformed her into the monstrosity she is today, unlocking her dormant power in the process. Before he could brainwash her, however, she was rescued again when a team of heroes stormed the evil doctor's base. Since then, she has joined up with the heroes of Westport, seeking to take down Malevolence with the very power he gave her.

Appearance: Evaine shows little sign of her former humanity, now standing nearly eight feet tall when upright. Her entire body is coated in a thick red fur, and her face has been twisted into a vaguely canine snout, filled with huge fangs. She still sports her mane of read hair trailing down to her back. Her legs are bent into a digitigrade position, which makes it difficult for her to run without getting onto all fours. Her hands are massive claws, with two fingers and a thumb, restricting her manual dexterity. She has a long, and fairly broad tail tipped with what appears to be an axe blade made of bone

Other: She really, really hates Dr. Malevolence. Also, despite her savage appearance, she makes it a point to keep hold of her humanity. She tries not to do anything a normal human wouldn't, and is known for taking in villains alive, rather than killing them

Name: Gly'al

Alignment: Villain

Abilities: Gly'al is a mental prodigy, having a great intellect and knack for invention. In particular, he specializes in alchemy and clockwork mechanics. While he appears frail and clumsy, these could not be further from the truth. Gly'al is extremely coordinated, especially with his hands, and is quite strong and durable to boot. He possesses a wide array of vicious natural weapons, including his serrated beak, massive talons, and the most powerful, the viciously barbed and incredibly strong tongue in the mouth on his chest. He cannot be killed by injuring his head, as his true brain lies in his chest cavity, behind his heart. He also possesses an innate teleportation ability, and uses it readily, making him incredibly difficult to kill. He can take the form of an old, hunch-backed man with a long hooked nose. He does this to move about in public.

Equipment: Gly'al has a massive variety of magical potions and poisons, most of which cause horrific pain and mutation in the imbiber. He also has a wide array of torture devices, weapons, and armor. His favored weapon is a custom-made pitchfork, which can transform into a scythe.

History: Originally, Gly'al was a manner of angel, who came to envy the moral freedom of demons, and cast himself into hell to become one himself. In the centuries to follow, he developed a love of suffering, constantly inventing new ways of causing harm. Recently, he came to note an exceptional amount of suffering in Westport city, caused by a man known as Dr. Malevolence. Eager to see him continue his work, Gly'al left Hell, coming to the mortal world to better further the evil doctor's work, assisting him whenever possible.

Appearance: Gly'al is a fairly repulsive creature, resembling a bald, ashen-skinned humanoid with the head of a vulture. His beak is twisted into a perpetual sneer. While he is tall, standing just under nine feet tall, his hunch-backed posture typically cuts him down nearly two feet. He is grotesquely lanky, with long, thin limbs ending in oversized talons. From his back sprout four gaunt, bat-like wings. He possesses a second face on his chest, consisting of a narrow beak and single red eye, though both are typically closed, appearing to be nothing more than a strange spike-like protrusion.

[Megafire7]

Name: Unseen/Shadow/Ghost/whatever he can come up with, prefers Unseen for the really big thefts

Alignment: Unseen would like to choose neither.

Abilities: Unseen's a master thief, as such, he is great at picking locks and being very quiet. He's rather agile and fast, preferring to use his skill in battle, rather than any sort of brute force. He's also a very quick-thinker, as is pretty much a requirement in this job. He has absolutely no superpowers, magical, or any other supernatural abilities, although he's stolen a vast amount of magical items, most of which he sold afterwards.

Equipment: He generally keeps a lockpick on him for on-the-go thefts, but when planning a major heist he comes well prepared with an array of equipment useful for the job.

He does keep weapons on him, but he really doesn't like to use them, sticking to a single knife somewhere on his body and his belt.

History: He's known under his various aliases for comitting various thefts, having develloped a different persona and style for every one of them (including entirely different handwriting for the notes he leaves). This has led to none of his thefts being connected to one another and even less to the actual person living in Westport City. Neither the villains nor the heroes seem to know who he is, although neither of them is willing to believe it.

He's managed to piss off most people by getting into and out of nearly every place without being seen.

Appearance: He's in his early thirties, looking mostly his age. He has dark-blonde hair and olive-green eyes, but doesn't have anything about him that really stands out.

In civilian life he wears rather well-made clothes, both for looking slightly more wealthy than the average citizen and for moving around easily despite this.

At night, however, he wears darker clothes, combined with a mask in the same colour (any sane thief knows black will get him spotted immediately)

Other:

[the Forge]

Despite your lack of alignment I'm listing you as villain. He is a thief after all.

Also, you may need a working knowledge of magic to get past magic locks or curses.

Would I be correct in assessing this one as an expy of Vetinari in his schooling days at the assassin's guild?

[Zacharius]

Name: Valkyrie.

Alignment: Hero.

Abilities:

• Strength: The power of divine magic infuses her, allowing her to wield her ridiculously sized axe, which made from the incredibly dense metal of Thorian (yes, made up) weighs more than a bus. The limits of her strength would allow her to pick up a large passenger jet, or break apart a large building.
• Endurance: As a side effect of her magic and her chosen 'status', she is almost impervious to traditional damage such as falling, being shot and or physical attack. Sustained intense damage will still hurt her, such as a high powered lazer being left on her or nuclear weaponry.
• Light of the Gods: Her magic in the most raw form, it can be used as seperate magical blasts and, after performing certain rituals a great deal of varied effects, such as opening portals or changing the tide/weather, however she more often uses it to support her other abilities, her axe glowing with the light of magic.
• Super Jump: Simply an ability gained through her strength, she can leap around a quarter of a mile (half a mile at a push) in one pound, or up a sky scraper.

Equipment: Her axe and armor are made of the same nearly impossibly dense metal, her armor simply providing another layer of protection as well as aiding in some rituals. The axe...is an axe.

History: During the age of vikings and longboats, the high time of the Nordic gods, several women were selected as Battle-Maidens to defend the most holy places of the pantheon, swearing to uphold the code of their god and to protect the sacrilegious behavior of non-believers. Despite this, one battle-maiden strayed from her path, falling for a common fisherman from a nearby town. Eventually she bore the mortal man a child, the young girl, Tyra, whom exhibited the powers of her mother but to an even greater degree.

It was not long before the gods learn of this treachery, punishing the man with starvation, the Battle-Maiden with eternal solitude and freezing the young girl in a state of sleep and finally, at the age of 18, she was frozen forever in ice. In this however, the gods did not account for the modern marvel of global warming, eventually the young girl awakening in the modern era in the freezing northern waters, although her powers allowed her to reach land it was not a pleasant experienced. Since then she has struggled to both aid humanity, whom without she would never have been free, and adapt to a world she never got to experience. Her superhero name is actually none of her doing, as she is not a Valkyrie, however the public being what they are, noticed the Norse elements of her, including the occasional hint of an accent, and thus coined the term.
