Name: Cassidy Hendricks
Alias: TBD
Age: 14
Alignment: Morally Good
Loyalty: Independent
Appearance: Standing at an unimpressive 5' 3" and weighing only 108 lbs, Cassidy doesn't stand out much in terms of stature though her body type is that of a young athlete by having very little fat and notable definition to her muscles despite her slim frame. Her skin is naturally light olive in tone and tans easily, her eyes are a deep shade of brown, and her hair is long, has bangs, and is colored with an almost identical shade of brown as her eyes. She often keeps her hair down but isn't adverse to styling it when the opportunity arises. Her choice in clothing varies quite often, especially determined by what is readily available, but her favorite colors to wear are red and she prefers to wear clothes that are comfortable to be active in. Her expressions are very emotive and easy to read, giving her an almost animated appearance whenever her emotions run high. Presently Cassidy has no uniform for cape activities, not even having any means to mask her identity should the need arise.
History: Born in Chicago to parents of mixed races, Cassidy had a rocky start early in life. The Hendricks family was poor and Cassidy was the youngest of four children in a family where only her father provided income. It didn't help that she and her siblings were in a hard spot in terms of race, as they were "too white" to be accepted by the majorly black community they lived in and "too black" to blend in while in other environments. In spite of this she managed to make a circle of friends at the local public school. In fact, Cassidy carved a niche out for herself early on as an athlete. She participated in many sports programs including basketball and softball, but where she shined the brightest was cross-country running.

By the time she was in junior high it was already figured that she would be able to go to college on sports scholarships, something that her older siblings were unlikely to achieve. Only her oldest brother Johnathan seemed to have the prospect of college, on a football scholarship. Due to the kids of the family growing older and needing less supervision, Cassidy's mother was able to land a job and with both parents working the Hendricks family was doing better than ever. Cassidy was in middle school, her two older sisters were in highschool, and her brother had just started his freshman year in college when Cassidy had her trigger event.

Cassidy and her siblings had always walked home together after school, even after Johnathan had moved out. On one unfortunate day, September 23rd of 2003 to be precise, two rival gangs initiated a gunfight across the road the girls were using to head home. The battle was sudden and in spite of their best efforts they did not get away in time. All three girls were struck by stray bullets from the crossfire, with Cassidy's sisters dying almost instantly. She lay on the ground for several minutes, crying and bleeding as bullets continued to whiz past her overhead andthe two gangs continued waging their battle against each other. In a traumatic moment of desperation Cassidy's only wish was for the shooting to stop. And so it did. The local news didn't report this but the gangsters all stopped what they were doing, as if they had been frozen in time. This lasted over a minute, which at that point was enough time for police to arrive.

The death toll from that incident was six. Cassidy had been shot in the leg by a 9mm round, forcing her out of her sports for the next two seasons. Her parents had become distant and depressed, their marriage slowly falling apart as their grief clouded their judgement. Even Johnathan was emotionally destroyed blaming himself for the tragedy by assuming he failed his family for leaving, prompting him to drop out of college and return to Chicago. Cassidy herself was shaken quite heavily, losing her interest in sports and avoiding her friends from school. The Hendricks family was falling apart after several months of grief and pain had done its damage. Damage none of them would ever fully recover from.

But there was a silver lining. It took Cassidy several months after the event, about the time she had her leg cast removed, to realize that she had changed. She was now a parahuman. Exploring her new power served as a coping mechanism, just like her running had become. As she experimented with what she could do the only person she confided this secret to was her brother, whom vowed silence on the subject. He was the one who gave her the idea to keep her power a secret, as it may draw attention in a not-so-good way. Over the next year they were able to figure out her limits and possibilities though there was little application Cassidy could find for this power. She briefly entertained the idea of becoming a Ward but scrapped the idea when she ultimately decided that she wanted to be a professional athlete.

She was confident going into her freshman year at highschool and her life had finally gotten back on track. The family was recovering by now, with her parents solving their marital problems and Johnathan also taking up a job while Cassidy got passing grades and continued playing sports. But somewhere along the way someone had figured out her secret. The police from the day of the shooting had written in their reports that something strange had happened and detailed how the shooters were all frozen in place when they arrived. Someone had gotten a hold of this information, someone with malicious intent and connections with a goal of rounding up parahumans. One day after school, much like on the day Cassidy suffered her trigger event, she was walking home alone when she was attacked. Her power couldn't save her when she was knocked unconscious before she could even realize what happened.

Cassidy was bound, gagged, and thrown into the back of a van. As she was taken away the operation didn't end there. Though Cassidy presently has no knowledge of this, the Russian Mafia that abducted her also had her family killed. They staged another gang shootout outside their home, personally ensuring that her parents and brother were dead before leaving a body double of Cassidy herself at the scene. As far as Chicago's police are concerned, the entire Hendricks family is now dead. But the real Cassidy had found herself in a human trafficking scheme. Or rather, a cape trafficking scheme. Having been placed in a containment box that prevented her from using her powers and thrown in the back of a truck, she was shipped off on the long road to San Francisco were she would then be taken back to Russia to be auctioned off like cattle.

Along this road contained a stop in Denver, Colorado where she and the rest of the parahumans in the truck would be moved to another delivery truck at a warehouse on the western outskirts of the city...


Motivations: In short-term goals, Cassidy just wants to survive the cruel world of capes. But her ultimate goal is to become an Olympic athlete, regardless of whether or not that would be allowed.

Derangement: Aside from the trigger event itself, Cassidy's personality has not been affected by her power and therefore she has no derangement.


Skills: Having been conditioned to become an athlete, especially a runner, Cassidy is quite nimble and quick on her feet as well as being no slouch in upper-body strength. Though she can sprint very fast for her age and size, it is her stamina that is her greatest physical quality as she can run for miles and miles without tiring out. Cassidy was never the brightest bulb in the box but she has always been quick to understand people and situations. She also has no shortage of "street smarts" to make up for her lack of academic achievements.
Classification: Master, Shaker, Stranger
Details: Cassidy has the power to completely stop the perception of time of all humans within a variable distance from her. The distance is determined upon activation and works as a radius from Cassidy, affecting all humans inside the range regardless of if she has a line of sight or not. Those affected are not actually frozen in time but instead have their perception of it frozen. This allows bodily functions or movements to continue while those affected stop moving as if they actually were frozen. Any momentum they had would naturally be carried over but they would no longer be capable of continuing whatever motion they were in until their perception returns. If the affected was standing still when they had their perception frozen they would not realize any time had passed at all once it returned, unless there were environmental cues that would indicate something happened without them noticing. Those with their perception frozen can still be interacted with during this state, such as injuring them or moving them.

Any sensations they feel would all catch up to them in one wave upon their perception of time flowing again, such as being touched or pain itself. Those who are affected are often left feeling confused when the duration expires due to a sort of "jetlag" from having their perception altered. People only realize they had "blacked out" if they had some visual indicator to show that time had passed, such as looking at a clock. While Cassidy sets a range upon activation she cannot make any exceptions to those within it, meaning everyone within her set range becomes affected. If someone were outside her range and then to enter after she used her power they would be unaffected. Likewise if someone were in her range and then they were carried out of the initial range (via momentum or external interference) they would still have their perception of time frozen until the duration expired. The only shortcut for those with their perception frozen is for Cassidy to end the duration prematurely, which she may do in order to use her ability again. She can activate this ability very quickly, allowing her to get out of dangerous situations with other people.
Limitations: This power relies on a sort of internal pool of "time" that Cassidy has and every time she uses her ability it subtracts from this pool. Presently her internal pool is approximately 3600 seconds, or one hour. The amount of "time" used is double that which is affected by her victims, being represented in the formula of y=2xs (y being how much "time" is spent, x being how many people are affected, s being how many seconds they are affected). If she were to expend the entirety of this on one person they would have their perception of time halted for thirty minutes. If she were to freeze two people for ten seconds, it would cost 40 seconds of her "time." If she were to freeze forty people for ten seconds, it would cost her 800 seconds of her "time."

However the rate at which this pool regenerates is disproportionate to how much it expends. It takes five seconds to regenerate one second of "time", meaning it would take five hours to regenerate this pool from empty to full. The regeneration only occurs when her power isn't activated, meaning she will not be recovering "time" while there are still people with their perceptions frozen. This is all very technical but Cassidy herself has a vague understanding of these limits due to testing. She must use math and guesswork to stay on top of how much "time" she has available as well as how much she will be expending. This leaves room for error on her part in estimating what she can do, though usually she is very accurate. Only when there are a number of unforeseen things, like affecting extra people she was unaware of, do problems occur in her "time" management.
Equipment: Presently Cassidy is only equipped with the clothes on her back and the shoes on her feet.

Name: Rucker Estes
Alias: Macavity
Age: 24
Alignment: Himself
Loyalty: Independent
Appearance:Slim, well-toned, and rather handsome. Rucker reaches to the height of 5’11 with a head of brown slicked back hair, white fair skin, and light blue eyes. He is generally looks like he belongs to a high social standing, but acts the exact opposite in how one should act. For clothing, he wears business casual clothing, underneath a white colored shirt with a gray suit that fits perfectly for his body. He doesn’t have any costume as he can turn invisible at will, leaving his undetectability his costume.

History: Coming from poor family, he didn’t have much to his name growing up. Living off the bare necessities to live for a family of three. Obviously, Rucker didn’t like this situation one bit as he was growing up. He didn’t like being poor, he didn’t like being bored, he didn’t like his parents for being this subservient to their life. He wanted to have more than this boring life, he wanted to have everything that he didn’t have in this life! He left his family later on, stole every valuable in their home before ditching his good for nothing family, wanting to make something of his life at the ripe old age of fourteen.

He didn’t get a very good education or anything that would get him in a good college, but he did know how to survive off the misfortune of others. Doing everything by himself, he managed to make a good sum of money for a barely aged teen, living in a rather shady complex with even shadier tenants, defending himself from those shady dealers while simultaneously stealing from them as well. It wasn’t the best life, but it was exhilarating by stealing from anyone that bothers him and also making a ton of cash in the process. As he grew older, his ability of petty thievery started to morph into high scale burglary making him more money and the act even harder to manage. Though, it was determined that he wasn’t out to actively harm anyone, he didn’t think beating someone to death to steal their stuff was very entertaining, but stealing right under their noses was the biggest thrill.

As time grew, Rucker started to grow as well with his insatiable appetite of greed and lust. He grew rich, but there were some objects that money just couldn’t buy! Schemes were starting to grow larger and much more dangerous. Stealing priceless items from almost any type of setting! It was just a blast, and his crime spree wasn’t just going to stop at the normal people. Rucker intended to steal from the parahuman organizations as well! Though, not directly, he wasn’t skilled enough to steal from people that could turn someone into ash with their minds. Tracking down individuals, secured areas, and various other hot spots of information and items, Rucker stole everything that he could get his hands on. It was dangerous, and it was fun for the thief, but something rather interesting happened on one of his goody runs. It was information, about a secret organization, an organization that could give people parahuman powers.

This sparked his interest quite a bit, and made him wonder how much better it would be if he could steal from parahumans personally. Entering their homes, knacking all valuables while facing a looming death by their superpowered hands. It was all so entertaining in his mind, and this fantasy was going to happen for the individual. He didn’t know how to contact this organization, but nothing like more stealing to help gather information on the shady organization. Though, in his runs, it didn’t take very long to figure out that barely anyone knew this Cauldron.

However, Rucker would soon know their presence as one day he woke upon a shadowy figure looming upon his bed. It was quite a shock for the criminal, and almost thought that he was about to get murdered for all the things that he had done in the past. Though, it was quite the opposite, something that he had been looking for had come to him instead! A Cauldron informant, wanting to know why Rucker was so interested in the group, and it was obvious on what the thief wanted from the group. Stolen pieces of art, solid gold statues, and currencies from around the world was his payment for superpowers, and they accepted his wish.

Rucker can’t say any further into the whereabouts or how he had gained those powers, but at the end of the day, Macavity had his powers. It was interesting, very interesting to have something other than just pure skill, Rucker now had powers beyond mortal limits and was now going to use those powers to steal everything.

Motivations: Simplify to enjoy oneself, usually in the terms of burglary.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Likes:

• Stealing
• Watching people
• Fun

Dislikes:

• Being caught
• Being touched
• Being watched

Derangement: This extreme version of invisibility has made Macavity extremely hard to read. You can never truly know what he is going to do as he follows his whims to a childish level, and that can make him quite indecisive, rather annoying to anyone that would work with him.


Skills: Rucker is very good at the sleight of hand, even outside of his power and an excellent lockpicker. Decent at close quarters combat and aim, nothing to really talk about, but is an excellent sprinter, contortionist, and generally just everything that requires one to be a thief to reach those really hard to reach places while being guarded by parahumans.

Classification: Stranger
Details: This power allows Rucker to disappear completely, there is no chance of being detected by any normal or rarely parahuman means. The power works by affecting the minds of everyone around him, once he turns on his power, the minds around everyone can no longer perceive his body or actions. Even being touched, the person's mind wouldn’t be able to recognize the feeling of his body, merely thinking they will be touching air. Also, anything that Rucker wills can disappear in the same manner, but small non-moving targets are easier on the thief than a moving car.

Limitations:Simple, Rucker is still in the physical world. Even though if he can’t be perceived, he can still be simply stabbed or shot if someone was randomly swinging or shooting weapons around him. Also, physical traps still work on him, trigging systems such as wires, pressure plates, or lasers still activate the trap even if nobody knows the whereabouts of the person triggering them.

Equipment: Other than the clothes on his body, Rucker always carries around a tote bag on his body. This bag contains lockpicking set, an electrified police baton, and a 9mm handgun. Other than miscellaneous supplies in the bag, it is mainly for snatching any objects that he deems that is worth stealing while keeping his hands free from all the stolen knick-knacks.

Name: Dunn / Gaia Hill
Alias: Sparce / Farce
Age: Just turned 20.
Alignment: Good-Inclined / Evil-Inclined
Loyalty: Independent
Appearance: The two young-adults are each-other's semi-identical twins. Both stand at an average 5'11", are of a caucasian race with a medium build, and have a cocoa-color for their hair. Individually speaking, Sparce is a nearsighted and farsighted man, and commonly wears glasses to see more efficiently, while Farce has a flattened chest compared to most women her age, yet she has a larger-than-average bottom. Both twins have a tattoo of a celtic cross on their eye, but Sparce has it on his left eye, and Farce her right.
History:


Motivations: Both of the twins deeply want to end human trafficking for good, however they each go about ending it a different way. Sparce prefers to go about it with sparing lives, while Farce will kill as she pleases.
Sexuality: Bisexual, but their partner must also be.
Likes:

• Salad / Soup
• Cats / Dogs
• Video Games / Dresses and Tuxedos

Dislikes:

• Coffee / Tea
• People who hit on his sister / Her brother when people hit on her
• Unneeded killing / Being called sweetheart

Derangement: The twins have a paranoid fear that they're going to transform into the other twin at any given moment, especially when in a rather adult situation (if you catch my drift). Due to this, they fear going to a professional event if they haven't transformed into the other twin in a while.


Skills: Dunn learned a good amount about being an officer of the law, since that's what he wanted to be when he got a job, while Gaia learned how to become a dangerously good liar.
Classification: Shifter
Details: The twins have the ability to switch between each-other in every sense of the imagination, even to the point where any harm placed on one twin is not carried over to the other unless it deals with the brain, and whatever clothes the twin was previously wearing is transferred too. Every aspect of the twin is flawlessly mirrored, from the strands of hair all the way to the nail-polish of Gaia's toenails. They also have a sort of bond where they can speak to each-other through a shared sense of mind, but they have yet to explain how it works (they don't even know themselves to be honest).
Limitations: The twins have no control over when this happens, however it has been observed that transformations are guaranteed to occur after 24 hours if a transformation has not occurred within that period. The only guarantee transformation other than that is when someone else brings up when Gaia's trigger event happened, where it instantly switches to Gaia with no time wasted. The twins cannot heal any harm when they are not the current owner of the shared body, and it is completely random, so a heavily hurt twin can be switched back into a bad combat situation.
Equipment: Dunn and Gaia both have a bluetooth earpiece equipped, letting them make calls and speak wirelessly to others nearby. Dunn carries around his M1911 handgun, which he is a crack shot with, while Gaia carries around a reinforced nightstick, which she has nicknamed Carlotta. Both weapons transfer when the twins undergo a swap.
