Alias: Godsmith
Real name: Hephaestus, now goes by Hyde Sideros
Age: Eternal
Gender: Male

Appearance: (Artwork in the making)
Godsmith is a large man, 6'2'' tall (1.87 m) and very muscular. His complexion is tan with an olive hue, and his skin has a certain metallic shine to it. His face is broad with a particularly sharp jaw and a nose which is straight and regal, but a bit large. His eyes are a soft brown and his hair a pearly white. On his head, his hair is cut very short, in a soldier's style. His beard, on the other hand, is glorious, long as a fist is wide down from his chin and around his mouth, curling as it hides his jaw.

As the average mechanic Hyde Sideros, he wears crude jeans, tough boots, some sort of shirt or sweater and always the same old cap, proudly showing off the logo of Sideros Auto Repair. When he changes into Godsmith, he wears a skintight uniform which is mostly an orange-red hue, but a band of white around his chest and down his arms. A cape is thrown around his shoulders and fastened to the left side of his chest with a golden medallion, featuring the Olympian olive wreath. Around his wrists and shins are steel plates, and a traditional Greek helmet is worn on his head. He releases the flames of his inner forge from his eyes, making them glow with bright flames and further obscuring his face.

Personality:
Godsmith is a god humbled by his life among mortals. He sees us humans, and he sees a passion for life, for success and for meaningfulness that does not exist among the Olympians. Because of this, he has developed a true love for humanity. He is very protective and concerned about people surrounding him. However, Godsmith has problems with the concept of individual freedom. As a god he always reigned over man, and so he thinks people’s right to do whatever they want, even if they hurt themselves, is problematic.

Of course, with a god’s mercy comes a god’s wrath. If anything or anyone threatens the mortals he swears to protect, he will not hold back. Taste the blazing steel of Hephaestus!

Short Biography:
It had been a long time since the Olympians had been worshiped. A damned shame it was, and the Olympians had grown weary. Zeus no longer threw his bolts of lightning with a godly rage, Apollo had no passion while riding the sun across the sky. And Aphrodite was ever the cheating bitch, much to her husband Hephaestus' dismay. One day, Aphrodite had laid her eyes on Poseidon, god of the seas, and he gave into her seduction. Hephaestus was mad, and burst open the door and swung his hammer, Pelekys, across Poseidon's face. At once, the two gods' rage burst into each other, and only the king of gods, Zeus, could stop it. Zeus naturally sided with his brother, and cast Hephaestus down to the mortal realm as punishment. This ended up being no punishment at all, as Hephastus found new joy in his new home, and started his life among them, simultaneously becoming their sworn protector.

Powers, Skills & Equipment:
Hephaestus is the ancient Greek god of metal, fire and smithing. As such, even if he is banished to the realm of mortals, Godsmith has still retained his powers. Firstly, being an Olympian, his physique is in peak condition, being beyond what is attainable by the mortal men. Secondly, his skin is not like that of humans - it is as durable as steel and warm to the touch from his inner forge. But now, without further ado, what makes a god a true Olympian is of course his legendary artifacts.

Pelekys is Godsmith’s two-sided hammer, traditionally used alongside the Olympian forge, but it is also suited for battle. Although he usually keeps it in the shape of a hammer, Godsmith can manipulate its form into any traditional weapon at will. While in the shape of the blacksmith’s hammer, Pelekys can also reforge metals by simply touching them, warming the metal and manipulating it freely.

Tsimpida are Godsmith’s tongs. This is also usually used in the godly forge, but can also prove useful in battle. And projectiles without a solid state, such as lasers or fireballs, can be grabbed by these legendary tongs and can be deflected however Godsmith wishes.

Amoni is Godsmith’s anvil, usually beside the forge. In battle it has a niche use in that it is truly indestructible and also heavier than any object known to man. It can be used in conjunction with the two other tools to create metal from nothingness, something which is truly magnificent.

Additionally, Godsmith wears a tight suit and cape to battle, wanting to be instantly recognizable in order to redirect any threats onto him rather than innocent bystanders. Around his wrists and his shins, He has pieces of steel plating for protection and deflection, but also to have some steel ready to smith. His helmet is of ancient Greek design, made of godly steel.

Weakness:
Being the god of fire, Godsmith is naturally weak to water. It puts out his inner forge, severely weakening him and making him unable to call his artifacts to battle. In the same sense, aquamarine is the gemstone of Poseidon and the sea, and so will penetrate his skin easy as steel through a man.

Alias: Sweet Dream
Real Name: Eliza (sort-of)
Age: 14 (sort-of)
Gender: Female (sort-of)

Appearance: Sweet Dreams’ natural shape is only vaguely humanoid. Her skin is a mottled green, and her flesh has a consistency like hard plastic, but possesses the same sort of give that foam has. She generally stands at about 6ft tall. A cluster of five tentacles hang from the top of her head like hair. Her eyes are stark white, with jagged black spirals in place of pupils and sclera. Her fingers and toes are fat and exaggerated, like frog toes. She is very large and chubby, with a gut that distends about a foot in front of her body. While she possesses a few stereotypically feminine body traits (curved shoulders, wide hips, a soft not-quite hourglass figure), she possesses no sexual characteristics of any kind.

Sweet Dream has only perfectly memorized one other form, and it’s the only other form that her body settles into as well as it does her natural shape; that of her creator, Eliza Larkholme. Eliza is a seven year-old freckle-faced caucasian girl. Eliza’s hair is long, straight and black. Sweet Dream is easily able to manifest the clothes Eliza wore at the time of her passing. Her parents, in their attempt to create a perfectly regimented daughter, dressed her up like a student from a private school, with small blue blazer, black pleated skirt, and shiny buckled black shoes.

Personality: Sweet Dream is a staunch idealist, unwilling to believe that any one person is 100% bad. She is kind and bubbly, often getting excited at the prospect of using her powers. Whether combating criminals, disaster or corruption, she sees her Superheroics as an opportunity to show off her artistic sense and creativity, traits that she inherited from her creator. She also has a small contemplative side to her as well. She sometimes enters into a daze and starts staring into space as she thinks about and internalizes the things that she learns about people. Her memory isn’t passive; she has to actively try to internalize things and ensure that she remembers them.

Short Biography: Eliza Larkholme was the stereotypical young prodigy. She was always surrounded by instructors from a young age, making sure her every movement, thought and feeling was calculated and measured to perfection. Her parents, while hardly laissez-faire, tended to leave her in the hands of her instructors and teachers, leaving her to her own devices while she was in her (admittedly short) downtime. She developed immense creativity and imagination, seeking an escape from her hectic and busy schedule. She imagined many and varied wondrous people and monsters, often thinking about them and wondering what they would be like and sometimes even talking to them as though they were right beside her. This threatened to change when her parents found her talking to herself one morning, as she was looking through a thick sketchbook filled with her designs. They immediately scheduled a session for her with the family therapist, and left as quickly as possible. In their haste, her Father drove off with her and her Mother without fixing and adjusting the mirrors on their car.

This led to tragedy, when her Father accidentally backed up into the path of a speeding car. In her final moments, as she lay bleeding against her car door, she thought not of her home, her instructors of even her parents, but of all the wondrous beings she was leaving behind. As she expired, her latent psychic powers kicked in, a little bit too late to save her. They responded to her thoughts, bringing to life her very last idea: a mighty creature, born of her imagination. This creature, which would later take on the name Sweet Dream, absorbed Eliza’s memories. It immediately jumped into action, extricating Eliza’s living but unconscious and bleeding parents from the Car, doing the same for the occupants in the other vehicle. In memory of Eliza, the creator it never knew, it decided to do what it would’ve thought she would want it to do, save and protect the innocent people of her city. Seven years after her death, it is still at work, fighting criminals, saving lives, and trying to learn how to be human, without the benefit of actually possessing a human mind (only its memories).

Powers, Skills & Equipment
Subjective Anatomy: Sweet Dream technically isn’t a living being, lacking any sort of traditional anatomy or biology. Her body is composed of a soft but exceedingly flexible shell, filled with a sort of viscous purple smoke, which leaks out whenever an attack manages to pierce her body. She doesn’t need to breathe or sleep, she doesn’t feel pain, she doesn’t get sick, and poison finds no purchase within her body. Given time, she can eventually regenerate any injury, even when reduced to a head or an arm. Her powerful regeneration is driven by her mental state, waxing and waning depending upon her confidence and her perception of herself.

In addition, by channeling her psychic energy, she can modify her body and imbue it with a variety of effects. Her flesh can be hardened like iron, her smoky innards can become liquid fire, and other stranger more exotic effects. She can also clench parts of her body to hold their shape, allowing her to assume a wide variety of forms. She cannot form organ systems within her body.
