Weaponry has not become as advanced as all the movies say. Bullets are still the norm, but energy shells, a.k.a. laser bullets, are now going into prototyping form. Armored cars, thought, are not a rare sight anymore. Since villains have taken over, more and more armored cars are being sold to people who do not want to be killed. The armor protects them from most bullets, but it does not protect them from superhuman powers most of the time. There have been advancements in ballistic technology. Darts have been created to where if one is shot, their body breaks down for a few moments and they cannot move for a few hours.

Alright, I’m going to be a cliché and say that hovercrafts/cars/motorcycles have been created. But these hover-vehicles are rarely seen because they are expensive to make, which makes them expensive to buy. Most hovercrafts are with the military, but you can see other hover vehicles owned by the rich of New York City. Unless you are majorly into science and technology (like Tony Stark smart in that stuff), you will not be able to get one unless you scrounge the dump for old versions thrown out by the rich people. Most rich people do wind up sending these things to junkyards because they always want the newest version.

Computers are now harder to hack into because more firewalls can be placed in the servers. Communication has become even easier and less of a hassle. Phones are now able to fold or roll up to fit into smaller places. It has become easier to listen in on conversations though with phones. It has also become easier to track people as well, because so many cameras have been put up around the city by the NYPD to dissuade crime. What we will be using for communication, mostly, are small earpieces. The microphones are now in the earpieces so all you have to do is say something aloud, and anyone connected to your conversation will hear it.

The Urban Raiders are the street gang. Once the heroes began to disappear, they began to take over the streets. They absorbed many other gangs into theirs. They always seem to have the newest technology, the newest weaponry, the newest forms of transportation. Though they have the stuff, they aren’t always able to use it. They are not good shots and they suck at hand to hand combat. They do seem to have a very wealthy benefactor supporting them though. Below is their symbol and each of them seem to have it tattooed somewhere on their body.

The police department has gone downhill after the heroes have begun to disappear. They no longer have a lot of beat cops, but they still have detectives. But since they can’t nail anyone really for crimes, they use the detectives as beat cops. Because new heroes are so similar to villains, the cops do not really know which is which, and they will open fire on anyone with superhuman abilities or powers, whether they are good or not. So, all in all, try to stay away from them. If you can’t, then don’t use your powers in front of them.

Services bots have only been around for the past twenty years or so, which means that they are still fairly new. The main place that they are used are in hospitals because that is where they are needed most. They can also been seen with the wealthy of the city as well. They can also been seen on street sides for giving directions. They are mostly used to fetch things or to give directions, but because they are in their prototype stages, no one really knows what they can and cannot do. Most cannot do more than what is asked of them, but some can. But it is really hard to tell which is which.

Appearance: Morgan is a thin, petite Caucasian woman with refined features. She has a fair complexion and dark hair that she keeps in a short pixie cut. Her most notable feature are her vivid green eyes.

When working, Morgan takes care to carefully hide her identity. She wears dark clothing and a baggy charcoal-gray sweatshirt, with the hood consistently up. A long blond wig hides her hair, while an antique M40 gas mask with tinted lenses keeps her face out of view.

Name: Morgan Duchesne

Alias: Damselfly

Age: 31

Gender: Female

Personality: Outwardly, Morgan Duchesne is a serious-minded New York career woman, with an ill-defined office job, fashionable Central Park West apartment, and membership in a biweekly wine club- no one exciting, really. However, her boring and stuffy image is carefully cultivated. She is a greedy and calculating woman, coldly figuring out how best to use the people around her. While she is not without empathy or scruples, and has been known to form genuine relationships, her foremost concern is advancing her own position.

Weakness: Her ability to fly is enabled by the fact that her skeleton is lighter and less dense than the average human. Accordingly, she is highly susceptible to blunt trauma and breaking bones and is generally more on the fragile side.

Powers: Morgan possesses two primary abilities. One, she has four separate wings (clear and veined, like the insect she has named herself after) that she is able to retract into her back. These beat rapidly, affording her great maneuverability in the air and even the ability to hover. She has a top flight speed of around 230 MPH.

Secondly, she has the ability to consciously give off certain pheromones that essentially force the brain not to acknowledge her presence. If these are activated, she can be in the room with someone and they will not see or hear her or any signs of her presence. Prolonged exposure can even cause people to forget her existence. However, cameras or other electronic surveillance detects her with no difficulty, and there is a certain threshold of activity which breaks her "invisibility".

Abilities: Her time as a burglar has given Morgan a set of skills associated with breaking and entering. She is a talented picklock and safecracker, and has enough familiarity with . Additionally, she has a number of criminal contacts (particularly fences) in the New York City area.

Gear: Morgan travels light. When on the job, she typically only carries a few items: a small toolkit, a roll of lockpicks, a small but powerful flashlight, a telescoping baton, and a small caliber pistol for extreme emergencies.

History: Morgan Duchesne was born in Middletown, Ohio, part of a large family with numerous other children. All of the Duchesne children were well taken care of, except Morgan. Concerned teachers at school noted that when the girl showed up to school at all (although Morgan claimed to attend every day), she seemed underfed and dirty. Social services were called, and the baffled elder Duchesnes seemed to be unaware they even had a daughter named Morgan living in their house. Their custody of Morgan was revoked, and the young girl was sent to live with a series of foster families all over the state- all of whom seemed to get slapped with neglect charges. By the time she was sixteen, Morgan had lived with nine separate families in different parts of Ohio, never forming any real bonds with any of them.

Gradually, Morgan became aware of her ability to be unseen and forgotten, and through self-discipline taught herself to control it, to be able to turn it off and on. She would often use it to pocket small items in stores, walking in and out uncontested. As she became more interested in the other sex, occasionally she would use the ability to sneak peeks as well.

As puberty hit her, Morgan's wings eventually grew from her back as well. Learning to fly was an exhilarating, freeing experience. By the time she was eighteen, the system more or less had given up on her, leaving her alone. In order to support herself, she began to steal, relying heavily on her buildings. As her talents grew and she gained more understanding of her powers, her heists became more and more sophisticated. Eventually she settled on a workable and simple MO: she would fly to the balcony or window of a luxury high-rise, either an apartment or hotel. Letting herself in, she would then help herself to cash and valuables, using her ability to be unseen to waltz directly past the occupants. This worked nicely for a while, netting her a respectable fortune. However, Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati only had so much to offer. She needed to go where wealth was associated with how high up you lived, and the New York area fit the bill.

To most, Morgan is only a young and well-to-do career woman, believed in her upper-class social circles to be a lawyer or doctor, something of the sort. However, she only makes these society friends to gain information on which penthouses are worth breaking into and enforce her cover.

Hobbies: Morgan has come to appreciate some of the finer things in life. She enjoys fine wine (often stealing bottles for her own consumption) and art. However, she also enjoys less refined pursuits- an amateur guitarist, she'll relax by playing along to Boston or Steely Dan and she occasionally thinks about joining a classic rock cover band.

Appearance:



Name: Edgar Allen Crow

Alias: Madness

Age: 31

Gender: male

Personality: Edgar is a very troubled man and has a poor grip on reality along with a terrible case of paranoia and anxiety. The Coat of Madness feeds off of his fear and negative phyche, which causes him to terrible anxiety attacks and emotional break downs. He has a good heart, but his powers and tragedy in his life have caused him to be unstable and scared of the world around him. His powers scare him and he is reluctant to use them out of fear for what they could do.

His Coat of Madness is a very dark and potentially violent entity that communicates with Edgar through a telepathic link with one another. The coat is uncaring and only helps Edgar just so that he save its own life and it is very vengeful. Edgar does have a love of literature and writing is his biggest hobby. He can love others, but he chooses not to because of all of the loved ones he had lost. He's never really wanted to be a hero, but the coat was able to convince to become a vigilante.

Despite his psychological problems Edgar still has a view of what is right and what is wrong. He does feel great fear, but he can overcome it through the strength of his will. He never really liked being in groups and fears the idea of being on a team of superhumans who could hurt the world with their kind of power, but he's willing to try and make a difference with a team.

Weakness: While his Coat of Madness is his greatest asset in battle it is also one of his biggest hindrances, the coat is like a parasite and feeds off of his madness and causes him to be unstable. The trauma in his life combined with his powers has made him almost schizophrenic and because he needs to concentrate to use his powers properly his mental state can make his reality warping unable to work properly and being in a panicked state can cause his powers to backfire on him. Illusions that can fool him will make his reality powers work against him and his powers cannot work on silver, his Coat of Madness is very afraid of the substances. Anything that can neutralize magical powers can rob him of his abilities, and aside from his powers he is basically human and shares all of the weaknesses of an ordinary human.

Powers(Supernatural):

Limited Reality Warping: Edgar's Coat of Madness grants him the magical power to warp reality in limited ways. He can create barriers out of thin air for defense and fire off powerful blast of energy. He can also change the properties of objects and environments through concentration, but the range of the environment that he can affect is limited to about 25 feet. What he can do with the environment is alter it in a way that can change the whether to create storms or change the landscape to grow plants His main method of using his reality warping powers is to create terrifying illusions and make them real for his enemies.

Flight: He can use his powers to alter reality around himself which grants him the ability to fly at high speeds.

Abilities(Natural): Edgar is extremely well versed in classic literature and is a very talented writer himself. He has decent detective skills and some study in psychology especially with how fear works in a person's mind.

Gear: His Coat of Madness is where his powers stem from, it is also sentient and malevolent and feeds off of his negative psyche as well as the fear and madness of those he fights. He also has a Swiss Army knife just in case his powers become compromised and he needs some kind of tools.

History: Edgar's life has been one long tragedy, at the age of five his parents died in a house fire and he was placed in an orphanage. When he was finally adopted by a couple they were not the kind of loving parents who were supportive and Edgar soon realized that he would have to look out for himself. It was at that time when he developed his love of literature and writing since they offered him a chance to escape from his current situation to other worlds in the works of fiction.

Up until he had become a teenager Edgar's spent most of his time alone and didn't want to have much to do with other people. But when he was in high school he met his first love who was a girl named Sally and he felt more happy than he had been in such a long time and it felt refreshing. Things seemed to be getting better for Edgar, but then tragedy struck again and Sally died of a heart defect during their senior year at high school. They had planned to live together, but now that wasn't going to happen.

Edgar didn't know what to do he was heartbroken and felt cursed. This fear deepened even more when he found his second love who would eventually become his wife and that's when he found the terrible Coat of Madness. He had been walking home by taking a shortcut through a cemetery when he was nearly blinded by a bright flash of light that seemed to radiate fear. When the light vanished Edgar saw a strange colored coat and after a couple of seconds he began to hear a voice in his head.

Edgar thought he was going crazy, but the voice assured him that he was yet. It explained that it was the coat and that it was a sentient piece of clothing with incredible magical power. His curiosity had gotten the better of him and he stepped closer to the coat out of some unknown compulsion. The Coat of Madness lunged at him and latched on to his body. Almost immediately Edgar felt a horrible wave of fear and insanity wash over him and the feeling was overwhelming.

The Coat of Madness told him that it was an object of incredible magical power created by beings of mighty magic of darkness, and that Edgar was now its host. Edgar didn't want to be and tried to take it off, but it would come off and the coat informed him that once it was bonded to him it would take an incredible amount of supernatural power to take off the vest and even he did then there would be a chance that it would kill him because that was how its last had died according to the coat.

With no way of removing the coat Edgar tried to hide it and go on with his life, but weird and terrible things began to happen. He started having horrible nightmares and visions of blood and destruction. Thing also began happening in his waking life as well. One time when he was in the kitchen eating breakfast the entire place erupted into flames for no logical reason and he saw his parents burning in the flames. The site terrified him and he though he had gone insane, but almost just as quickly as the terrifying sight had appeared the flames had vanished along with his parents.

Edgar didn't what to do and he began to fall into a state of depression and anxiety. Things would become even worse when some horrible beast from another realm sought to take the coat from him and then proceeded to kill his wife before he could do anything. Edgar had lost his beloved wife and the pain he felt was beyond anything that the coat could have created. While in a state of grief he killed the monsters, but that was meaningless now that he had lost his wife.

With his life now at its absolute worst he tried to commit suicide, but the coat stopped him by turning a bullet into flowers and rat poison into wine. It would not allow him to take his own life and now he was stuck in this terrible life alone again. Eventually the Coat of Madness was able to convince him to become a vigilante as a way of spreading madness to others. Taking the name Madness, Edgar now fights crime to help feed his coat's hunger and terrorize the criminals of New York city.

Hobbies: writing, reading and psychology

Other: United

Appearance:

Name: Katrina Hopkins

Alias: Kat

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Personality: A bit on the shy, quiet side, but usually friendly. She is better at small talk than deep personal things. Easily upset: injured animals and people, sad movies and unhappy endings can make her cry, although she hates to do so in public. She likes flowers and candy and painting, usually abstract stuff. She tries not to be gullible, but sometimes she can trust people too easily and this can lead into very bad situations. When her life is threatened for enough time, she has an initial adrenaline rush but after that she forces herself into a sedated and catatonic state and into an astral projection. She likes to sing but isn't very good at it, and she can seem kind of dreamy and "in the clouds" sometimes. She loves animals dearly.

Weakness: People who seem innocent, friendly and maybe charming on the outside, but are actually hiding evil intentions, can fool her pretty easily. Night driving is very difficult for her. Extreme stress can cause her to just shut down. The longer she spends in an astral projection, the closer her physical body gets to dying.

Powers: Astral projection: Her consciousness or soul if you want to call it that can exit her physical body either at will or during seemingly inescapable situations. This is useful for figuring her way around a building without being detected, among other things. When she is astral-walking, she can sense the 'life forces' of living things, and also sense the world through their eyes or literally put themselves in their shoes, but she cannot control whatever she possesses.

Abilities: Good with a nice sturdy knife. Light and fast on her feet.

Gear: A pretty standard hunting knife and a small handgun for emergencies only, because she isn't a very good shot.

History: Katrina was born and raised a single child near Gardiner, Montana. She lived in a pretty rural place with her parents, and for the first eleven years of her life, she thought that she was likely the most plain, unimpressive, and just, well, normal person on the planet. This changed on her eleventh birthday. Her father was driving her and her mother home after a day of pretty average birthday stuff; they were on a dirt road and it was getting dark. Katrina was nodding off like most children would when a deer appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, and was fatally hit by the car. The shock of the accident sent her into her first astral projection, where she watched the bloodied deer suffer and was then sucked into its senses; in a way she became the dying animal. She didn't say a word at all for about a week after that, and she still sometimes has nightmares in which she can see headlights rushing for her.
It took a while, but eventually she got used to what happened, and came to terms with her newfound ability, and over the course of years managed to master her power. Sometimes she "wandered off" during classes, or while her parents lectured her for whatever stupid teenager thing she had done, and this caused some tension during her childhood.
When she was 17 she had her first superpower-caused near death experience when she got in a fight with her mother and simply astral-walked away from the situation. Her consciousness traveled spent so long away from it that her physical self began to shut down. She spent a few days in the hospital and that's the fun story of how she learned not to abuse her powers.
She came to New York when she was 19 because she'd decided that Montana was too boring and familiar to her. She wanted to try being a city girl, go to some clubs, see if she could spot a superhero maybe. After a few years, that became stale too. She reasoned that her powers could perhaps be useful in the whole superhero business, so she made a ridiculous costume and hit the streets!

Hobbies: Sewing, rescuing animals, birdwatching, feeding pigeons.

Other: She's been a vegetarian since she was 11.
United, bruh.
