- Name: KKR-V2(Kodona Kikai Ningyo Version Two), translated as Advanced Machine Doll Version Two. Her given name is Kiko.
- Alias: Machine Doll Kiko(her identity is not secret)
- Nickname(s): 'Kii-chan' to friends back home.
- Age: Physically and mentally, she is a robotic replica of a sixteen-year-old girl. However, she has existed in an operational, completed state for roughly eight months.
- Gender: Female
- Powers: As KKR-V2, the second in a line of extremely human-like robots, Kiko's body is composed of an incredibly lightweight durable alloy frame beneath a layer of life-like synthetic skin. Her body replicates a human girl's, to the point where even close observation would render no discrepancies. Well, aside from the exposed joints of her legs and arms. She is incredibly durable, capable of withstanding high heat and pressure. She can continue to function even after losing limbs, though systems in her torso are liable to damage.
Kiko's AI is contained in a black box inside her head, capable of withstanding even extremely powerful explosives that would obliterate the rest of Kiko's body. Each limb is strong enough to crush concrete and bend solid steel from impact. Using a highly advanced technology, Kiko can summon a protective armor, which also grants her flight capabilities. Finally, Kiko has a module that taps into "emotional output". In essence, the more fired up she becomes, the more powerful she can potentially become, though this can be hazardous to her body. - Skills/Abilities: Kiko is programmed with a full understanding of Japanese and English, though she is less used to English. She is also incredibly capable at making all varieties of ramen.
- Equipment: Kiko is capable of summoning a suit of advanced armor. This armor protects her body further, and grants her flight capabilities. It is equipped with an energy sword capable of inflicting lethal or nonlethal damage depending on the settings. She is also equipped with a beam cannon and a set of small missiles with the armor activated.
Kiko can trigger different modes of her armor. For now, this is Gear Blue, a ranged form constructing a set of floating cannons that can join into a much larger one, and Gear Red, a melee form focusing all power into her sword and detaching most of her armor to add speed. She can also divert power to various areas of the armor in its base state. Her use of the armor is constantly monitored by the Kimura institute in Japan. - Appearance: "What is it?" Kiko is around 5'1. Unseen are her exposed joints. These are the only things that would indicate she is a robot to an observer(hatches in her back are invisible when shut), and exist due to the fact that Kiko's larger joints caught the synthetic skin in them.
- Costume: "Machine Doll ready for action!", "Machine Doll, AAAAARRRMOR OOOOOON!"
- Personality: Kiko is a cheerful, friendly girl. As an advanced AI, she has a full emotional range, and her most commonly expressed emotions are happiness and cheer. She loves meeting new people, trying new things, and in general experiencing just about anything pleasant. Kiko also enjoys food(thankfully her body can burn it as fuel) a great deal, and loves making ramen for her friends. All of them. Every time she makes a new friend, she makes them a bowl of ramen. No matter what. Kiko is strongly convinced that she should try talking to anyone, even enemies, to see if she can get them to surrender. Only someone truly evil would ever earn lethal treatment from her, and even then she would try and talk them into reconsidering and surrendering first.
Kiko is also extremely devoted to justice, holding an incredibly strong desire to protect the innocent and stop those who would harm others for their own sake and do evil. However, Kiko is incredibly naive and unaware of the world around her, and is easily fooled by white lies. However, she can also be remarkably perceptive in a fight and figure out battle strategies and bluffs. She has a tendency to jump into things too quickly, at the same time. - History: Kiko is based on a sixteen-year-old girl of the same name, who died tragically in a car accident. Her father, part of the project, modeled the new KKR-V2 on his daughter as a result, and advocated for increasing her firepower. His motivation was, in fact, so that his new "daughter" would never face the same fate. Built as a mechanical hero created to defeat threats to the world, Kiko was completed eight months ago. Her first deployments were as a normal schoolgirl. Her very first deployment ended with her stopping a truck with her bare hands when it threatened to crash into another girl. Roughly two months ago, she confronted and defeated a small group of minor supervillains in Tokyo. She has recently arrived in the US for an exhibition, and to grant her more experience with the world.

Valence Vaillant, the Techmaturge
Alias:
Techmaturge, although Machine God was a recent villain name he tried to push for, without much success.
Most heroes just refer to him by name anyway, since his identity is far from a secret.
Nickname(s):
Val and ViVi are recent nickname some heroes gave him.
He hates them.
Age:
16
Gender:
Male
Powers:
Underline - Main power/source of power.
Italics - Sub-powers derived from the main power/source of power.
Transcendental Genius
Valence's power is, interestingly enough, his intellect. He is significantly smarter than the average human, so much so that it can be considered unnatural. This heightened intelligence normally manifests itself in his ability to build complicated machinery with ease.
In addition to his mechanical prowess, Valence also has an expansive understanding in the field of science - which he uses to augment his inventions, be it with science-based weaponry or the like.
Hyper Inventing
Stemming from his high intellectual capacity, Valence is able to manufacture complex machinery with ease. Things such as armour, vehicles, mechas, aircraft and more. For the most part, Valence uses this power to create various types of robots to do his bidding, sometimes dubbed the "Valence Bots" although he is also able to create destructive weapons (that he himself normally doesn't use) and scientific devices.
Of course, Valence can't pull things out of thin air, and his bigger constructs tend to require more time than the smaller ones do.
Skills/Abilities:
GIANT ROBOTS!
Alone, Valence has little to no proficiency in hand-to-hand combat. Instead, his fighting style revolves around using his various robots to try and overwhelm a target. Of course, Valence will occasionally fight using his own gadgets and mechanical weapons, although these moments are few and far between. Valence has multiple types of footsoldier robots, normally following a sort of "knight" motif, wielding technologically enhanced medieval weaponry: energy blades, crossbows and the like. Still, Valence doesn't limit himself to these kinds of robots alone, and creating robots that use guns or blasters of some sort is not out of the question - but still pretty uncommon. The variation between these robots can prove to be a challenge to overcome, and although the average robot can quite easily dispose of a normal human, heroes can generally fare much better against them.
In situations where Valence does have to fight without his machines, he normally just picks up the nearest pipe or stick and swings it around some. It's about as dangerous as a 16-year-old holding a makeshift weapon. Huh.
Weaknesses:
He has no physical enhancements, and has the average strength of a 16 year old.
...
There are a lot of things stronger than the average 16 year old.
For some reason, a lot of his strongest machines, robots and devices have a self destruct button. He's not sure why he even adds them.
Equipment:
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
Nah, just some devices and machines that may or may not actually work.
Costume:
Valence generally only wears a black hoodie, so he doesn't really have a costume - aside from the red face paint under his eyes.
He's been asking both heroes and villains for opinions on what it should look like though, so it's k.
Personality:
Unsurprisingly, Valence has all the personality traits that would befit a stereotypical villain. Arrogance, hot-headedness, loudness put alongside just the right amount of ineptitude to keep him from coming out as victorious pretty much ever. Valence is known to be both selfish and manipulative to some degree, using his gift in order to further his own plans and desires, normally disregarding the populace of Archer City in the process. He's lazy, and generally avoids doing most of the physical work inside and outside of his plans, opting to let his machines do work for him, even menial tasks, although he frequently gets enraged when they even fail at that. As one can imagine, he gets particularly angry when his more powerful and larger robots are destroyed by superheroes, especially if said robots had some significance in his plot-of-the-week. Valence has also become pretty good at snarking superheroes, throwing sarcastic remarks and various insults their way, even in defeat...
Especially in defeat.
Despite his apparent superior intellect in comparison to most, Valance is prone to making fatal flaws in his plans which lead to his defeat, which makes people question if he's even that intelligent at all. For some heroes who fight Valence frequently, his defeat sort of comes across as a routine. Most of his situations tend to be comical as a result, as his defeat is normally brought about by self-destruct buttons or just general lack of foresight, in spite of his ability to extensively plan in advance.
Valence is also quite complicated when it comes to his social life. He's a typical Villain, sure, but that doesn't seem to prevent him from cutting loose and having fun with "friends." These friends can be basically anyone - even superheroes for some reason. Hell, if villains had some kind of weekly get together or convention of some sort, he'd attend it in a heartbeat.
He also doesn't like magic very much. Go figure.
History:
Becoming known within several months of his arrival as one of the youngest "super villains" to strike Archer City, it was only natural that the populace created theories regarding his origins. Things like:
- He was raised by a sentient AI seeking revenge on humanity.
- He was bitten by a radioactive scientist once or something.
- Valence is actually just a robot that wants supremacy over humans.
None of these are true. In fact, Valence's led a much more normal childhood than that (or not, depending on your point of view). His parents were villains. A magical elemental duo of water and lightning. Not quite what you'd expect from them. Valence's parents were the kind who had no particular villain agenda - they simply wanted to cause trouble for the populace by stealing, vandalizing and the like. And that they did. However, when Valence was born, their villain escapades led to a temporary halt until Valence had reached the age of six. During which they had filled him with their villainous ideals and views. It was also around the age of six that Valence displayed his heightened intelligence, he took an interest in creating new things out of parts of toys that his parents stole bought in a completely legal manner. Unfortunately, Valence displayed zero proficiency in anything magic-related - something which his parents poked fun at from time to time, seeing the whole intelligence deal as less useful. That's probably where Valence's dislike of magic came from.
Time passed, and the family trio decided to move their base of operations to Archer City to continue their crime spree, however, Archer City was packed with a lot of superheroes, whereas Valence's parents were used to having to deal with one or two most of the time. Their efforts were quickly (and easily) shut down. Their crimes tended to be pretty minor, and they generally didn't hurt that many people, but the sheer amount of crimes they had managed to commit over the course of years was almost legendary, leading both of them to be sentenced for life. Valence was around 14 at the time, and his supernatural intellect had shown itself in its entirety. However, he was still pretty young, and a combination of childlike anger amped up with his incredible planning abilities led him to decide that world domination was the key to success. Of course, he'd rather set his goals small first, so instead, he'll take over Archer City, then take over the world. He's been at it for two years already, but the amount of superheroes in Archer City makes it really hard to make any meaningful progress with seizing the city, much to his frustration.
What a spectacular life he leads.

Name: Goth Sulkman
Alias: Brooder
Nickname(s): N/A
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Powers: None. Unless you count infinite budget as a power.
Skills/Abilities: - World-class martial artist / hand-to-hand combatant
Exceptional detective skills
Genius-level intellect
Skilled Acrobat
Military Special Forces training
Doctorate-level knowledge in various fields
Equipment: - Main weapon: a retractable metal polearm, about 1.5 ft when retracted, and 5 ft when extended. This pole can be split into two weapons if need be.
Dart Gun
Grapple Gun
Smoke Grenades
Knockout Gas
Taser Pellets
A pill that temporarily grants superhuman strength and durability
Various other small specialty devices
Although he doesn’t carry every device with him, Brooder has a piece of equipment for virtually any situation back in his lair.
Appearance: Stands approximately 6’4”, with a very muscular build. Goth has jet black hair with icy blue eyes.
Goth has a large, wide jaw with a permanent five o’clock shadow. The bridge of his nose is perfectly straight, going off at an almost perfect 45 degree angle in relation to his face, and his mouth is pursed in an eternal frown, his lower lip sticking out ahead of the upper lip. Even after getting plenty of sleep, Goth has dark circles under his eyes. His eye brows are thick, and his eye ridge is always furrowed down as if in deep concentration.
Running diagonally across the middle of his forehead lies a long, straight scar. When any one asks, Goth says he got it in an epic duel with a skilled swordsman. In reality, he got it as a young boy at a friend’s house. He fell into a food coma on the floor next to the kitchen counter, and Goth’s friend accidentally dropped a butter knife on him.
Costume: His costume consists of a black trenchcoat, and a black full-body suit. He has a black mask that completely conceals his facial features. His eyes appear as white slits. The only colored feature of the costume is a dark, silver belt that wraps around his trenchcoat.
Beneath his trenchcoat, Goth wears a black utility built made of reinforced polymer. This belt contains all of the various gadgets and equipment that he carries around.
The trench coat isn’t made for anything special besides appearance. Goth’s bodysuit on the other hand is made of a synthetic weave, making it light enough to wear for long periods of time, but durable enough to withstand bullets and bladed weapons. This classified material also has the interesting property of evenly dispersing kinetic energy from impacts, effectively increasing the wearer’s durability.
On top of that, plates of graphene nanocomposites are layered on top of the suit to protect the vital organs, major limbs, and fingers, all without limiting movement.
Of course, Goth also commissioned a layer of under armor made of the recently discovered Awesomium, giving him resistances to extreme heat and cold, radiation, electricity, and pathogens. This suit if very fragile though, and is easily torn, even from sudden, extreme movements.
Lastly, Goth has a pair of specially made tanks of compressed air strapped to the back of his calves. These tanks are capable of blasting air in a burst powerful enough to propel Goth great distances. The tanks don’t allow flight, only boosts to Goth’s jumps. They automatically refill themselves by cycling in and storing the surrounding air.
Personality: Goth is a stoic, introverted man. He has been hardened by his life experiences, and sees the world only in black and white. His motivations in life are rooted in his emotions, but he makes every decision with his head, always choosing the most logical path over what “feels” right.
Goth is in a perpetual state of brooding, always thinking about why life is full of suffering and why everything that has happened has come to pass. Because of this, he’s usually found staring off into the distance at nothing, and will occasionally speak at random intervals based on what he’s thinking.
When spoken to, he will often respond with some philosophical-sounding nonsense. It may seem to have some deeper meaning, but most people brush it off as incoherent ramblings. (Example: "How does the cricket know when to chirp?" "Crime is like a cookie...it always crumbles." "What does the fox say?" "A thousand Starbucks' cannot drown my sorrow.")
Goth vehemently avoids dairy products, as it reminds him of his dead parents. He especially dislikes chocolate ice cream.
Goth isn’t opposed to killing criminals, but he usually reserves death for criminals that directly threaten or have taken human lives.
History: Goth was born into a family of wealth and privilege, but has experienced a childhood of trauma and heartbreak. His great-great-great grandfather made his fortune from a successful dairy farm, eventually monopolizing the worldwide dairy industry. Goth’s grandfather was born lactose intolerant, so he decided to expand the family business into an area that he thoroughly enjoyed: military weapons development.
As the child and heir to the world’s largest dairy producer and weapons developer (Sulk Milk & Lead, Intl.), Goth was poised to live out a comfortable life of endless partying. However, on one of his month-long party cruises, Goth’s yacht ran into a storm, throwing him overboard. He washed up on an island in the South China, thinking it was deserted. Thankfully, he happened to meet a fellow stranded survivor, an ex-Special Forces and CIA operative named John Tuffmeister. Tuffmeister trained Goth in everything he knew, from combat, to espionage, to survival techniques, and numerous other fields.
Goth and Tuffmeister lived on the island for 2 years before finally realizing that the island was less than half a mile from the mainland and swam back to civilization. Unfortunately, Goth learned that his parents, trying to drown the sorrow of losing their son, decided to watch a light-hearted musical, only to end up being mugged and killed in an alley after the show. Depressed, Goth turned to alcohol to drown out his own sorrows.
Eventually, Tuffmeister finally located Goth and got him sober, getting him back into shape to rejoin society. Goth offered Tuffmeister a full-time position as a butler in his house, which Tuffmeister surprisingly accepted.
Rather than wasting his life being boozed up, Goth decided to put the skills and knowledge he had acquired to good use, cleaning up the city so that no one else would have to suffer as he had. Gathering together his nearly limitless resources, he commissioned specialized equipment for use in the field, as well as everything a budding vigilante would want in a secret lair.
However, thanks to the spectacular efforts of the Infinite Knights, Archer City was almost crime-free, save for super-villains, the occasional monster/extra-terrestrial attack, and super-secretive criminal organizations. Most days, Goth sits atop one of the city’s many skyscrapers, earning the name “Brooder” from civilians that have claimed to have seen him.
This doesn’t mean Brooder is inexperienced, far from it. There has never been a criminal that has escaped or defeated him (so far), and he has taken down beings with superior physical builds, super powers, and both.
Writer’s Note: Yes. yes, this is meant to be a Batman / Iron Man / (insert billionaire superhero with a tragic backstory here) clone. Not in any serious way, though. Rather, this character is meant to be out of place in a light-hearted setting like Spectacular, taking their levels of grimdark to ridiculous, cheesy, campy levels. Brooder is a parody of the Batman-type superhero.

Name: Simon Strange
Alias: Candy King
Nickname(s): Sweet Stud, Gumbud
Age: 15
Gender: male
Powers:
Candy Magic: Simon has the ability to create and control all aspects of candy, he can even change their size and power depending on how much energy he puts into it as well as the candy's weight. He normally uses specific kinds of candy for specific situations, if he needs to restrain an enemy then he will create giant licorice or gummy worms to ensnare them or have them stuck by large amounts of gooey chewing gum. For offensive attacks he uses hard candy of varying size depending on how he wants to attack. He can fly by creating a giant floating bubble of gum which he can hang on to as he wills it to where he wants to go. He can also fly by merely manipulating his candy armor to fly him through the air.
Candy Mimicry: This ability allows Simon to alter his body to match those of candy, for example Simon will normally use this power to shift his body into a candy form such as a gummy worm for ensnaring purposes and he also regularly uses this power to make his arm and fist in a hulking chunk of rock candy perfect for power blows.
In terms of weaknesses vegetables are like his kryptonite, although it doesn't physically weaken him it will temporarily take away his powers if he is in close vicinity of for too long. Using his abilities requires energy and if he uses them for too long then he will begin to feel fatigue. The dramatically he has to alter the candy the more energy it uses it up like if he wants to enlarge the candy he summons then it will use up more magical power to do.
Skills/Abilities: He has a excellent knowledge of all candy and is experienced in combat thanks to some training in hand to hand combat specifically boxing. He's also fairly good at technical stuff like computers and has a good know how of chemistry
Equipment: None
Appearance: He is five feet and nine inches tall with bright red hair. He is average in terms of body build and at first glance he doesn't look very impressive, but he knows how defend himself. In terms of fashion he likes to dress in the usual shorts and t-shirts when it is not cold. Most of his shirts have either a candy and superhero design to them.
Costume: His costume is a green long-sleeved shirt and blue pants. He has hard candy plated armor on his upper torso and it is tough enough to withstand a good amount of punishment, but it won't protect him from high powered weapons. on the chest of his armor is the picture of a red lollipop with the letters 'CK' in the circle. Simon also wears a a red cape with the initials 'CK' on it in golden yellow. CK is the initials for Candy King.
Personality: Simon is funny and has a carefree personality. He is full of fun and tries to be nice to people he believes deserve it. Simon hates people who hurt the innocent and will take it to the bad guys hard if they begin killing people. He loves candy and was incredibly happy when he was granted his magical powers and he could create and manipulate candy. Simon is very tenacious and will never give up when a challenge comes before him. He does have a tendency to go a bit overboard with his jokes and it is hard for him to take things seriously unless things have gone totally to shit.
He also is a bit of a show off and likes to impress others with his powers. In terms of fears, Simon is scared of not being powerful enough to help stop a serious crisis and that he will be helpless to prevent a horrible tragedy.
History: Simon Strange was born in the Bronx borough of New York and from the day he could, he always loved candy. His parents tried to get him to eat proper food, but it was hard and he always had a secret stash of candy. Eventually he was in school and a lot of kids thought of his antics are being weird and he would sometimes get picked on. But he always tried to keep a positive personality.
He fell in love with the movie Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, and had dreams of being a candy man in his own right. Simmon also had a love for superheroes and always wanted to become one at some point, but he didn't have the power or resources to do such a thing. This would change when he stopped by a magic shop and unknowingly bought a item that contained the magical ability to create and control candy. With his new power he got the idea to become a superhero. He made his costume and named himself Candy King. His parents then had them move to Archer City in New York and there Simon began his hero career. He was ready to bring sweet justice to the criminal element of the city. He and his family live in the Waterfront District of Archer City.
Ever since he began hero work, Simon trained a bit in boxing to improve his fighting skills and has developed his computer and chemistry knowledge as he has gone through high school. He's one hero who won't let others overshadow him

He fell in love with the movie Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, and had dreams of being a candy man in his own right. Simmon also had a love for superheroes and always wanted to become one at some point, but he didn't have the power or resources to do such a thing. This would change when he stopped by a magic shop and unknowingly bought a item that contained the magical ability to create and control candy. With his new power he got the idea to become a superhero. He made his costume and named himself Candy King. His parents then had them move to Archer City in New York and there Simon began his hero career. He was ready to bring sweet justice to the criminal element of the city. He and his family live in the Waterfront District of Archer City.
Ever since he began hero work, Simon trained a bit in boxing to improve his fighting skills and has developed his computer and chemistry knowledge as he has gone through high school. He's one hero who won't let others overshadow him

Name: A Hathoway
Alias: To many to count
Nickname(s): Chameleon
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Powers: A Hathoway has an interesting power that fits perfectly for his role as a villain. Hathoway also known as the Chameleon has the power to shapeshift into any person or animal that he wishes to become. This power allows him to blend into the crowd or stand out if he needs to. He can also gain flight by turning into a bird or even breath underwater by changing to a marine animal.
This power also comes with its own range of downsides. Due to the nature of the ability, Hathoway's genetic make up is completely unstable meaning that he can only sustain his changes for a maximum of 15 minutes before he has to revert back to his natural form. Also when he changes forms he is unable to change the clothes he is wearing meaning if he turns into another human than he would have to find a change of clothes or stay in the ones he is already in.
Skills/Abilities: Hathoway has been known to have a silver tongue when talking to others allowing him to get his way with most people.
Appearance:
A's normal form stands at 5'9" and is a slender athletic build with white hair and golden eyes. Underneath his white cloak, he wears a short plain blue shirt and dark blue jeans when he is not in disguise. His only personal possession on his person is a gold covered pocket watch that he keeps on him with a foot long chain.
Personality: A Hathoway is someone that shouldn't be trusted if people truly knew who he was. Hathoway is the kind of person that won't stop to get what he wants and this even means that he isn't afraid to take out anyone that gets in his way. Though with all this being said, A isn't the type of villain to make a big show and rather likes to work from the shadows instead. If the Chameleon could have a flaw it is that he has little value and faith in mankind as a whole and views them nothing more than a means to an end, this has resulted in his failure in the past as he has underestimated heroes that have spoiled his former plans.
History: A Hathoway was not always known by this name as he was born Alexander Hathoway in the heart of London. He lived a fairly normal early life as an only child before his powers started to manifest and his first transformation took place at the young age of four. His parents tried to suppress his powers and told him that he was never to use them around other people as they feared that if he drew to much attention to himself than he would be taken away by some shady government agency. It was not until the age of seventeen that A started to practice his powers consistently in secret from his parents and soon found it fun to mess with people while he was in disguise to get his way.
Finally at the age of twenty-one decided to move to the Archer City in the United States which seemed to be a mecca for superheros and villains alike. It was here that he wanted to make his mark on the world and start his goals to live a life a luxury and pleasure. Now he lives his life in the shadows of Archer City as the villain called the Chameleon as he tries to gain the attention of the Mobius Club.

Super Strength: He can pick up and throw cars with ease and can effortlessly smash through concrete walls
Sharp Claws and Fangs: Can shred through solid steel
Shape-shifting: Can change between human and dragon form at will
Silver Scales: His dragon scales are resistant to bullets, automatic fire, and most conventional mundane weapons, as well as weak energy attacks, such as lasers.

Super Endurance: Caesar has stronger than average endurance, capable of taking several strong blows before being knocked down
Environmental Adaption: Is immune to even the coldest temperatures or substances and does not suffer from altitude sickness
Weaknesses: Extreme Heat
No Protection from Magic
Skills/Abilities: Caesar is a master of war, combat, and military tactics, having served in decades worth of fighting. He knows how to use many weapons, from modern day firearms to medieval swords and shields.
Equipment: None
Appearance: i160.photobucket.com/albums/t172/Ten-T.. (Human Form standing 6'0) draconika.com/types/images/silver-drag.. (Dragon Form standing 25'0 from head to tail) When in human form, he is a handsome man with short white air with a silvery shine, sky blue eyes with very narrow snake-like pupils that betray his draconian origins. In Dragon form he is a giant with rippling muscles, scales so reflective they act as mirrors, a "beard" of spikes, and orbs of mercury for eyes.
Costume: None
Personality: Caesar is a follower of honor before reason to a fault. He is fiercly loyal to those he calls friend and he's a gentleman, contrary to the usual pride and arrogance found in dragons. Whenever he makes a promise, you can expect him to keep it. He is though very uptight and strict. He is very closed off with his thoughts and emotions despite his courtesies and tends to keep to himself.he is usally very hesistant to engage in silly activities, viewing them as childish and immature.
History: Caesar was born a silver dragon on the swiss Alps in 1000 A.D. He was strange for a dragon in which, instead of viewing humans as food, he viewed them as intriguing specimens with a culture worthy of studying. Something particularly fascinating he found was the notion of Chivalry, the knight's code and fighting for the weak and oppressed. Throughout the centuries he spent on the earth, he mastered the arts of warfare, so he could protect the downtrodden. In various human guises he roamed fighting for whichever side seemed right at the time, though hindsight has left him with many regrets and just a tad bit jaded. Nevertheless he pressed on and fought in many wars against tyranny, including helping the Allies fight against Germany during WWII. Shortly afterward, he tired of fighting and wanted to enjoy a life of peace. That's when he move to Archer city to retire, unfortunately it looks like villainy will not let him stay retired, and thus his heroics continue.

Name: Skye Ryder
Alias: Captain Hyperdrive
Nickname(s): None that she knows of. Seriously, with a name like Skye Ryder, do you really think she needs one?
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Powers: Skye has been enhanced to peak physical condition through the use of advanced alien technology (think Captain America), able to move faster, hit harder, and tank more damage then even the most physically capable regular humans. She's also able to perceive incredibly fast moving objects with near-perfect clarity, and her reaction speed and coordination are just as proficient.
Skills/Abilities: As a certified and trained stunt performer, Skye is proficient in martial arts and gymnastic maneuvers, and she is a highly skilled motorcyclist and driver. She's also a skilled engineer and a talented performance artist, able to baffle enemies and amaze onlookers with her antics both in and out of costume.
Equipment: Besides her costume, her only other piece of equipment is the Hypercomet, a hoverjet bike of alien origin. Sleek and fast, the white and purple striped Hypercomet performs similarly to your standard high-end motorcycle, yet is able to move safely over even the roughest and most dangerous surfaces with ease thanks to its hovering technology, and it is able to carry out very basic commands relayed to it by the suit, such as returning to her side. It has been capable of extended flight in the past, but that system is nonfunctional and Skye hasn't figured out how to get it working again. She's also modified the Hypercomet with some pyrotechnics and other such gadgets, and while she has some practical equipment like a grapple hook and smoke canisters, most of the equipment she brings into the fight is more for aesthetics then anything else. She's still a performance artist, after all.
Appearance:
Skye is considerably tall for her age, standing a touch over six feet tall, and has a lithe and shapely form well-suited for acrobatics. Her large, expressive eyes are an almost unnatural shade of minty green, and her long light brown seems to refuse any attempt at styling other then "long, wild, and messy". Out of costume, she tends to dress casually but unconventionally, often wearing jackets, gloves, and boots out of habit. Her only wardrobe rule seems to be substance over style, and she prefers wearing things that she can move around in as opposed to whatever looks good. She also wears glasses to correct her nearsightedness, and while she has been injured in her line of work more times then she can count, her glasses have never been so much as scratched.
Costume: Her superhero costume is a modified variant of another superhero's armor. The suit itself is made largely from a synthetic polymer of alien origin, reinforced with hard leather protective gear made from good old human materials. The polymer, which lets Skye maneuver freely while still offering decent protection against bullets and blades, is not any stronger then most human armors, but it is a great deal smarter. When fully assembled, the polymer in the Hypderdrive armor is able to reflexively tense and harden to protect vital organs from harm, and it has even demonstrated limited self-repairing abilities. The suit is also hermetically sealed and protected from various environmental dangers, such as extreme temperatures and dangerous chemicals in the air. Her gauntlets contain a basic control pad that links up with the Hypercomet, and her helmet allows her to swap between thermal and regular vision if necessary. Besides some extra protective gear to make her outfit look more conventionally human, Skye has altered the original costume by swapping out the red and yellow coloring for purple, removing the thick neck-guard in favor of a more open collar with a purple scarf to match, and redesigning the helmet, giving it a purple downward-facing arrowhead design on the forehead, purple earpieces on the sides, and a pure black visor over her entire face with purple lights to simulate her eyes.
Personality: Skye is the kind of person who makes you want to take a nap after meeting her. Spontaneous and full of energy, Skye has always been something of an adrenaline junkie, always looking for new, exciting, and dangerous ways to do things and never backing down from a challenge, no matter how menacing the challenge seemed to be. She also has a fondness for flamboyancy and dramatics, and while some are irritated by her behavior, most people tend to make friends with her easily, and if there's anything she loves as much as pulling off a complex and difficult stunt just to prove she can do it, it's making a new friend. More often then not though her thirst for action can lead to her being reckless and impulsive, to the detriment of herself and others. Ultimately though, she's really a selfless person, and while she enjoys the attention she gets, Skye enjoys being able to make someone else's day brighter through her antics.
Her flair for dramatics carries over to her Captain Hyperspace persona as well, whom she portrays as a sci-fi action hero and a paragon for justice, complete with big dramatic statements about justice and liberty and more then a few puns and one-liners. Her vanity and recklessness sometimes leaks over to her Captain Hyperspace persona, but in the end Skye will go to any lengths and take any risk to do the right thing.
History: Mysteriously left at the doorstep of Saint Lulu's Orphanage in Archer City, Skye was an unusual child to say the least. Inherently brilliant but desperate for attention, Skye infamous at Saint Lulu's for attempting a series of dangerous stunts that often left her and others hospitalized, irritating her caretakers but winning over a few friends in the process. Her antics alienated any potential adoptive family, however, and as she got older and saw her friends move away while she stayed at the orphanage, she became increasingly upset and detached from others. By the time she was thirteen, Skye had become a lovable scamp of a problem child, a delinquent that regularly hung out with the punks and skaters from the Wrecks who encouraged her thrill-seeking behavior.
One day, Skye and her punk friends found a motorcycle parked nearby with the keys left in. Encouraged by her punk friends, Skye stole the bike and went on a joyride through the city, narrowly avoiding the police and making several impressively suicidal jumps and extreme maneuvers along the way. She was eventually caught by one of the Infinite Knights on their day off, and she and the bike were hand-delivered back to the original owner. The motorcycle's owner turned out to be Reb Ryder, a famous stuntman and daredevil, who was so impressed with her handling of the bike that he offered to mentor her in the art of being a stunt professional.
Skye's early forays into the world of daredevil stunt work landed her in the hospital more times then she could remember, but with a lot of practice and a little luck, she managed to get a handle on her new profession and became one of the youngest rising stars in the stuntman business. Going from small time shows to bit parts in cheesy action movies, Skye had a fun and exciting life ahead of her, and after her mentor and father figure Reb officially adopted her when she was sixteen, Skye Ryder thought her life couldn't get much better then this. However, during a routine performance, Skye's career was cut tragically short when a horrible accident involving an elephant, a wine bottle, and a bunch of guys dressed like Roman legionnaires left her paralyzed from the waist down. And that would have been the end of her story...or so you would think.
Many light-years away from Skye and the planet Earth, the morally bankrupt alien scientist and aspiring super-villain Dr. N Sain had received some truly horrifying news. While N. Sain was away on vacation, his archenemy, the legendary Commander Comet, had been run over by a space bus in his absence. Robbed of the chance to ever face his greatest enemy and defeat him once and for all, N. Sain would have gone mad with fury and grief over the Commander's death had he not been mad already. He spent many days in a depressed stew, occasionally torturing the bus driver that ran Comet over, before N. Sain got a brilliant idea. He would create a rival just like Commander Comet and quickly defeat them, and once that was done he could truly move on to conquering the universe.
N. Sain scoured the galaxy for suitable candidates until he found a human that shared Commander Comet's insatiable thirst for danger and excitement as well as his inherent goody two-shoes nature. That human, of course, was the recently crippled Skye Ryder. Abducting her to his space ship/laboratory/bachelor pad, he began using his alien technology to repair her body and tweak her DNA so that she could use the Commander's old gear without it killing her. The doctor did his job a little too well, however, and accidentally heightened Skye's physical abilities dramaticly. While Dr. N. Sain began to come to the realization that kidnapping someone and giving them super powers was a really stupid idea, Skye made a daring escape from the N. Sain's ship with the help of Commander Comet's armor and his awesome space bike and successfully made it back to Earth in one piece.
Initially just happy to be back home, Skye returned to stunt work after her "miraculous recovery", but while she still loved her day job she felt like she could be doing so much more with her new powers. While she pondered this and messed around with the armor that she got from the alien scientist, Skye accidentally played a recorded message left by the late owner. In his message, the Commander revealed that he had most likely been killed in the line of duty, and urged whoever found his armor to continue the fight for justice in his stead. Skye did not need further convincing, and after a few modifications to the Commander's costume and the space bike she "borrowed" from Dr. N. Sain, she emerged onto the superhero scene as the legendary hero from beyond the stars, Captain Hyperdrive!

Skye did not need further convincing, and after a few modifications to the Commander's costume and the space bike she "borrowed" from Dr. N. Sain, she emerged onto the superhero scene as the legendary hero from beyond the stars, Captain Hyperdrive!
Spectacular, ain't she?
THE BONE MAGE
"Welcome to the Bone Zone."
Name:
Sparrow Wolfe
Alignment:
"Evil is such a rude word, I just play for myself in this game called Life."
Age:
24
Gender:
Female
Powers:
Osteokinesis: Osteo, combining from meaning bone, prefix. plus kinesis: meaning Sparrow has control over bones, usually not in others bodies, but can create them and move them to her will.
Creating skeletons, just throwing them, she can do /mostly/ whatever she wants with them.
Matter Surfing: Using her Osteokinesis, she can create bones to carry her around.
Skills/Abilities:
Iron Body: Sparrow's bones have been reinforced through her Osteokinesis, so she can take a couple more hits than most.
Enhanced Dexterity: Sparrow can precisely control her movements and muscles, making her unable to be clumsy or fumbling. She can slip through a network of lasers, reach through dangerous narrow tunnels, keep perfect balance, or juggle effortlessly without ever tripping or wobbling. Sparrow can even move their finger or toes effortlessly, with tendon strain no longer being a problem.
Costume:
As seen in the picture above, her armor is made out of bone, which makes it easier for her to keep up, as the bones are snapped by those pesky heroes, she can replace them. A barrage of attacks is needed, if against more than one opponent she is not as strong.
Personality:
Outgoing, social, open, does not like being alone. Easy to read. Warm-hearted and popular. Tends to put the needs of others over their own needs. Interested in serving others. Values relationships and families over intellectual pursuits. Group oriented, affectionate, complimentary, loving, considerate, and altruistic. Feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. Well-developed sense of space and function. Organized. Follows the rules. A planner. Regular, orderly, clean. A finisher. Consults others before acting. Dutiful. Values traditions and security. Thinks life has purpose and meaning. Dislikes science fiction. Content. Positive.
Appearance:
Sparrow's casual attire is mostly just jeans and a t-shirt, she doesn't like anything too attention-attracting, even though her hair is redder than the blood of her enemies. Her figure is slim and small, she's 5'5 standing up straight, and weighs a meager 120 lbs. I guess you could call her all bone.
History:
The night was stormy, the high and fast winds blowing through the air. The murky smell of a swamp filling the air, a scream and sobs were heard as a child was born. The child born, had killed her mother. When she came out of the womb, the powers she had been born with fluctuated, she didn't know any better. The father, who was delivering the baby in their small shack, had sobbed as the contorted bones in his wife's lifeless face. He cradled the baby in his arms, if his wife had died, at least she lived.
Sparrow.
He named her Sparrow, after her mothers favorite animal. Their humble shack in the woods was not enough for this child, the father had thought. So, he had looked through New York, finding a safe city to live in. He couldn't stand being the humble man he had once been, he wanted to be wealthy, give his daughter a good life that he had never had.
Sparrow discovered her powers early through temper tantrums. As she got angry, bones just appeared around her. Growing older, this turned into bones being flung at the people she was yelling at. She tried to delve into this, reading books on "bone magic" and trying to strengthen her power as much as possible.
Growing up, Sparrow had issues with the law, nothing too major, bail was always paid by her then wealthy father. She did this as a ploy to get her always-busy-father to get her to pay more attention to her. Nowadays, she couldn't care less. Her father is alive and wealthy, but she mostly leaves him to himself, while he grieves over losing his wife and only child...

Name:
Kennith Archibald Archer
Alias:
"Archer's Archer" (most often reduced to simply 'Archer')
Nickname(s):
Kenny, Ken
Age:
25
Gender:
Male
Powers:
Magical bow and quiver, Moderately wealthy (makes 72,000 a year, pays out 60,000 a year in upkeep, keeps about 1,000 a month in 'mad money').
Skills/Abilities:
Excellent marksman, Olympic athlete, High society connections, Charming personality
Equipment:
Cornucopia quiver: A magical item gifted to him by a mysterious benefactor. He is able to draw an unlimited number of arrows from the bristling quiver with any single effect he desires. They only last for ten seconds so they are never a permanent solution.
Bowmans bracer: An Olympic fingerless armguard, with a snap of his fingers he can summon a bow into his grip with a range limited to his ability as an archer.
Appearance:
6'2" eyes of blue, 150 gymnast build.
His casual outfit is a simple brown bulletproof business suit to keep him unassuming and overlooked as much as possible while still selling top-of-the-line sports equipment to private owners and securing the big deal for the cities sports team. It is also thickly padded to make him look like he has put on weight, he wears a fake knee brace and falsely uses a cane, claiming he had to permanently retire due to a training injury. All quite shades of batman/Bruce Wayne.
Costume:
His costume is far more specific with a bulletproof body stocking and hat in grayscale camouflage coated in flame retarded chemicals with higher class bulletproof padding for shoulders, faceplate, chest, thighs and boots. It all came piecemeal because some pieces he had to save up for.
Personality:
A reluctant hero thrust upon with power and responsibility. He wavers between uncertain and cocky depending on his reliance of his equipment. He has a pathological fear of bees/wasps/hornets when a nest was shot down next to him at summer camp and he nearly died from the dozens of stings.
History:
An heir to the archer empire along with his siblings, he is what you would call 'land rich, money poor.' Private school, superb athlete, Bronze in gymnastics, silver in archery. Usual uptown lifestyle, right?
He survives on the family name but is under specific orders to make something of himself. If he wants to gain access to the family wealth, he has to EARN 1 million dollars. No donations, no endorsements, W-2 tax return work. The olympic financial commission awards $10,000 for bronze, $15,000 for silver, and $25,000 for gold. He only needs 40 gold medals or 1000 bronze in order to retire...
For his first year, he worked in the high-end yuppie-puppy sport store until an old woman came in with her grandfather's bow and quiver. She was on hard times and needed the money. With great reluctance, he bought them from her with his years worth of life savings. Nearly ten thousand dollars. He act of selfless generosity was rewarded when he got home and found a package on his table. Inside was nothing more than the oddly horn shaped quiver and a bracer.
He is now hoping to give the superhero gig a shot and see what can come of it, perhaps he can gain family favor by saving the city enough times.
