Name
Gabrielle Stone

Hero Name
Stoneheart

Age
15

Gender
Female

Ethnicity
Haitian & Moroccan

Nationality
American


Appearance



At five foot eight, Gabrielle’s pretty tall for her age. It was pretty much inevitable to be honest - both Mom and Dad were skyscrapers. She’s cool with her height, albeit a bit lanky and awkward. But given that she’s so close to being taller than her brother Quinn, she can’t help but rub it in every chance she gets. So that makes things a bit better.

Unlike her brothers who are both quite dark, Gabrielle took her mother’s light skin as well as the smattering of freckles across her cheeks and nose. Outside of a bit of acne on her forehead, her skin’s pretty much clear. Lucky girl.

Gabrielle doesn’t often wear her hair up, so it tends to fall in tight curls down to about her shoulders. Her brows are kept neat, though she is a bit gun shy about plucking towards the inner end. As for makeup, she doesn’t tend to use it often. And when she does, it’s little more than mascara and lipstick. It’s not that she doesn’t feel like she needs it - god, she has suitcases under her eyes! - but more that it’s too much of a pain in the ass.

And let’s be honest, she spends most of her time stopping assholes from doing terrible things. Who is she trying to impress? Some criminal scum? No thanks. One of New York’s finest? Unless the NYPD has started some sort of junior division, any dude with them that’s into her is probably going to end up behind bars anyway.

Clothing wise, Gabrielle’s something of a happy medium between her brothers. She’s not into the cutting edge of fashion, but she does at least put a little more thought into it than just whatever she touches first in the closet. Granted, it’s mainly graphic tees, band shirts, and distressed jeans, so it’s not A LOT of thought. But she may wear a dress or skirt in the spring or summer. Maybe. If she’s feeling it. Who knows? Don’t hold your breath.

Hero Appearance

Gabrielle actually based her costume design completely off her brother Eli’s. Her’s is also a black jumpsuit with white gloves, boots, and center strip. The difference, however, is that she has a large, bright orange heart front and center of her costume. And while she’s also opted for no cape, she did decide to grab a bright orange domino mask to match the heart.

Personality

Persistence personified. That’s Gabrielle Stone. It doesn’t matter what that girl is doing, she just doesn’t give up. That’s a source of pride for her. She’s a hardworking, diligent girl with goals she’s gonna achieve. And that’s that, really.

Now all things considered, Gabrielle’s a pretty laid-back girl. Unless it’s important to her, she’s not going to get worked up over something. The little things just aren’t a big deal. That’s why they’re called little things. Duh.

That being said...she’s got a super competitive side to her. Sports. Fights. Games. It doesn’t matter. The girl just likes to win. She wants to be number one. Can you really blame her? She’s not one to get super salty if she loses, but she won’t be happy. Mainly with herself. Don’t just let her win though. If there’s one thing she hates more than losing, it’s being looked down upon.

She’s a bit stubborn, but...that’s just kinda par for the course with the Stone/Pierce kids.

Gabrielle’s one of those people that can really just talk to anybody. And does. It’s an easy way to make friends or learn interesting things.

Everyday Skills
Even without cheating with her powers, Gabrielle’s pretty good at basketball, and any chance she gets, she plays.

While she’s not exactly super into video games, Gabrielle’s got a soft spot for Pokemon and Mario games. It’s not really something she advertises. Not that there’s anything wrong with that it’s just...not really something she cares for other people to know.

As of last year, Gabrielle is officially CPR certified. And she knows her way around first aid. Honestly, she’s considering a career in Medicine. It’s not officially THE PLAN yet, but it’s likely.

Combat

Fighting Style

Stoneheart is most comfortable fighting in the mid-to-long ranges, where she can lob projectiles, assault the enemy with guided strikes, and generally harass and wear down her foe. In a team setting, she offers control: limiting the enemies movements and options and setting her allies up for delivering harder hitting blows.

Strengths

The ability to fly and to directly interact with objects despite maintaining quite some distance means that Stoneheart is fairly safe in combat. Typically, she can outrange most opponents or even subdue them before they know what hit them. In less ideal situations, her less than direct method of fighting still gives her options to overcome a more powerful enemy.

She’s at her strongest in an environment with plenty of small, heavy or sharp objects. Think a knife store or a gym.

Weaknesses

As Stoneheart relies entirely on her abilities to fight, she’s at a huge disadvantage if forced into hand-to-hand combat. And with her reliance on sight for her ability, anything that hinders her ability to see weakens her in turn, i.e., fighting at night, blinding her, or invisible/camouflaged enemies.

She’s at her weakest in an environment clear of clutter. Think the open desert or an empty warehouse. If she doesn’t have access to things to throw, her options become quite limited. Stoneheart just doesn’t have the heart to do something drastic like choke someone. She's more likely to flee than fight in that situation.

Equipment

n/a


Telekinesis

Strengths

Essentially, Gabrielle can move things with her mind. While she can only really budge or push super large objects, smaller ones she has no trouble lifting, tossing, catching, and manipulating with just a thought. She’s even capable of flight, although she’s still not exactly the most graceful thing in the air.

While her strength could be better and is definitely something she needs to work on, her precision with her ability is spot on. The girl’s a helluva shot. Don’t play her in basketball - she’ll win.

Weaknesses/Limitations

As mentioned earlier, Gabrielle’s a little on the weaker side when it comes to just how much she can lift when compared to others with her ability. She could, at max, lift herself and one other, should they be of average height and weight and holding onto her. Theoretically, she should be able to lift say three hundred pounds of weight plates. But as the object gets larger, it’s harder for Gabrielle to actually lift, even if it does fit into her theoretical weight limit. Take a trampoline for example. Unassembled and in the box, Gabrielle can lift it no problem. Put that sucker together though, and at best she can tip it over. Maybe slide it across the ground. Size and shape really play more of a factor than weight, to be honest.

It may be something she could overcome given time and experience, but for right now, it’s a bit of wall.

She also requires a direct line of sight with whatever she’s influencing. At least to begin with. She’s got enough spatial awareness to say, have an object orbit her, but just blindly reaching out and grabbing an object in a room if she doesn’t already know where it is? Not possible.

Name
Isaiah Quinton “Quinn” Pierce

Hero Name
Q.

Age
17

Gender
Male

Ethnicity
Moroccan & Nigerian

Nationality
American


Appearance



Never a hair out of place, never an outfit unmatched, Quinn’s a man who understands the importance of first impressions and looking one’s best. He’s a stylish kid, with a wardrobe only filled with the latest trends. It’s an expensive and flashy aesthetic to be sure, but in a way it’s to offset his less-than-flashy power. See, at five foot nine and a buck sixty soaking wet, Quinn’s not this pinnacle of human physique like his brother. He’s just like any other seventeen-year old. And since he, like most, can’t control his genetics, he’s gotta make the most of what he’s got.

That’s not to say he’s not an attractive guy. He’s in great shape despite not being the biggest guy around. His dark hair is thick and full, with not a gray hair to be found. The fade stays fresh. Not exactly blessed with the best beard genetics, Quinn keeps his chin clean shaven. Kid’s got good teeth though. Not too large, not too small. Sparkling white and straight. The lack of any noticeable acne can be chalked up to a proper skin care routine because ain’t nothing wrong with taking care of yourself.

Pretty much the only consistent staples of Quinn’s outfit are his sunglasses and his smartwatch. More on those later though. Everything else depends on season, occasion, current trends. So it’s difficult to narrow down.

Hero Appearance

It’s not exactly common for Quinn to personally be in harm’s way whilst on assignment and the whole concept of a “supersuit” is a bit too off-brand for Q. However, the academy does have its rules. Q's hit a sort of happy medium, he feels. His designs for a suit were based off an outfit be particularly liked - white tee, with this snazzy baby blue button-up with a pink and purple pattern on the underside. Classy jeans. Colorful high tops. The clothes were reinforced with a lightweight yet durable material, similar to the suit his brother uses. It’s definitely not a super effective getup for combat, nor is it really intended to be. Its primary function is to offer some token protection in the case of ambush or stray fire. Ideal situation, Q will never be in the line of fire to begin with.

Personality

There are two versions of Quinton Pierce: Quinn and Q.

Quinn’s a good kid. A little full of himself, but he’s got a good heart. He’s a true extrovert - loves being around people and ain’t ever met a stranger. But he’s got a helluva mouth on him and bless his heart, he can’t help but run it. And that tends to get him in trouble from time to time. To his credit, he can take a joke, but he can sometimes take things too far. He knows that though, so he’s not likely to hold a grudge. But good luck trying to get him to admit when he’s fucked up.

That all being said, Quinn loves fun. He’s not out here trying to pick fights and start shit. That just happens. He’d much rather everybody just be chill and have a good time. And if someone isn’t, he’ll try his damnedest to make sure they do.

Q, on the other hand, he ain’t so good. Q’s like all of the negatives of Quinn dialed up to eleven. He portrays this larger than life persona - a living ego, really. He brags, he boasts, and he roasts. He’s the sort of hero that the media just loves because whatever bullshit he’s spewing is almost guaranteed to get attention. See, to Q, it don’t matter whether people love him or hate him - as long as they’re talking about him he’s getting his name out there. Notoriety sells. And judging by how his multiple business ventures are thriving, notoriety sells well. This whole hero thing is a game. And Q intends to win.

It isn’t easy to keep his personal and professional lives separate, and Quinn’s made more than a few enemies due to the Q persona. So he’s pretty light on close friends, and while he’d never admit it, it does bother him. But that’s what money is for. It’s not exactly a healthy thing to surround oneself with leeches, but it beats being alone. Right?

Everyday Skills

Quinn’s got a strong affinity for STEM subjects: Mathematics, engineering (electrical and mechanical), programming, etc. His particular field of interest, however, would be robotics and artificial intelligence. He’s managed some truly impressive breakthroughs in the field and plans to pivot his focus entirely on his research once he retires from the hero gig.

Outside of that, Quinn doesn’t exactly have a ton of time for hobbies. He dabbled with music for awhile but that was just a travesty. The kid may be a genius, but he ain’t an artist. He just signs ‘em.

He’s pretty handy with tools. And very good with money.

Combat

Fighting Style
Quinn’s more quarterback than lineman. Brains over brawn and all that fun jazz. He takes a support position in combat away from the front lines, relying on his gadgets and more importantly, his robots to do the fighting for him.

He coordinates a team of five drones in combat. While these drones are equipped with A.I. that allow them to fight on their own, it’s not unusual for Quinn to make adjustments on the fly or even take manual control should the situation require it.

Strengths

Awareness. Via video and audio feed from his drones, Quinn essentially has eyes and ears potentially anywhere on a battlefield. Able to quickly and efficiently gather information from multiple angles makes it easy for Quinn to get a grasp on a situation and come up with a plan.

This can prove invaluable when working in a group, allowing Quinn to easily relay information to his allies and coordinate their efforts.

The nature of Quinn’s style lends itself to a certain amount of adaptability and versatility. While it’s impossible to have a tool for every situation, given enough information and time Quinn can usually come up with something. His drones are designed to be easily re-equipped, either to cover for a weakness in an ally or exploit one in an enemy.

However, that’s not always possible when in the heat of battle, so the biggest advantage Quinn has is that his drones are expendable. As long as he can get away, he can always rebuild and fight another day. That’s not a luxury most heroes have.

Weaknesses

Take out the head and the body will die.

The most glaring weakness Quinn has is...well...himself. Sure, he might be able to handle himself in some schoolyard scrap but at the end of the day, he’s not suited for actual combat. He’s not super strong. His skin can’t stop a bullet. He can’t move things with his mind or shoot fire from his hands. Hell, he’s not even a good shot with a gun. If someone who really wants to hurt him gets past the drones and finds him? Well...that’s all she wrote. And without Quinn calling the shots, the drones are little more than scrap metal.

Furthermore, Quinn is entirely reliant on technology to be relevant. There do exist those capable of nullifying or even manipulating tech, and Q just doesn’t really have an answer for that.

Equipment

Q lives and dies by his equipment.

The most essential pieces of which would be his sunglasses and smartwatch.

The sunglasses, aside from being stylish as fuck, serve as a convenient, non-intrusive heads-up display for Quinn. They are capable of projecting a sort of AR interface with which Quinn can interact. It’s easier than lugging around a laptop all the time. Less conspicuous too. Through these, Quinn is able to monitor the camera feeds from all of his drones simultaneously in real time. Super handy.

The real heavy weight, however, would be the smartwatch that Quinn is never seen without. It’s a custom bit of hardware, running a custom OS. It’s more or less a fully functioning computer on the boy’s wrist. It’s through this handy device that Quinn commands his drone squadron. It wirelessly connects with the robots and allows for remote operation, editing of their programming, along with a slew of other functions. It also acts as Q’s skeleton key - a way for him to connect to other devices or networks. For those...more covert missions.

Now, onto the drones.

There are, for all intents and purposes, three types of drones that Q utilizes: slave drones, HERO drones, and experimental drones.









Enhanced Intelligence

Strengths

Quinn’s brain is essentially a supercomputer. He’s able to perform incredibly complex calculations at staggering speeds. His memory is near flawless. His capacity for perception, analysis, and deduction are far beyond those of an average person’s. In combat, he’s able to split his focus across five separate drone feeds without missing a beat.

Weaknesses/Limitations

While Quinn is incredibly smart, he’s not all-knowing. He may be one of the foremost experts on the topics of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, but he knows little of physics or the intricacies of medicine. And while sure, he may be able to sit down and learn about these other fields, just knowing about something doesn’t mean one knows how to implement said knowledge. Such things require experience and practice. He’s got that in his field, but it’d take years for him to gain that in another.

And let’s be real: being a nerd isn’t going to win him any fights. Without his robotic tools to help him out, Quinn might as well be powerless.

Name
Elijah “Eli” Stone

Hero Name
Preacher

Age
18

Gender
Male

Ethnicity
Haitian & Ethiopian

Nationality
American


Appearance



Standing at six foot eight and built like a brick shithouse, it’s not hard to pick Eli out of a crowd - the man’s a giant. Literally. Eli’s hulking stature is only about a third of his actual size (a staggering twenty-one feet - and growing!!), but thanks to a device created by his stepbrother, Eli is able to maintain a somewhat normal size. The “Anchor” as it’s so lovingly called, is clamped onto Eli’s back and resembles a sort of small leaf rake, with the main piece fanning out at the base of the neck, centered between the shoulders and a tail of sorts running partially along his spine to about mid back.

Now, at a glance, one would be forgiven for thinking Eli to be much, much older than he actually his. His skin is rough, with deep wrinkles around his mouth and across his forehead. The bags under his eyes are deep and dark. Scars zig and zag across his shaved scalp, face, and neck. His goatee has a noticeable number of gray hairs in it. Why, he looks more of a man pushing fifty than twenty. But his tired eyes still show a youthful optimism and his smile still shines.

As for clothing...well...when your Eli big, it’s not easy to find things that fit. Fashion’s not for giants. So, typically, the big guy keeps things simple. Plain tees most days, but maybe sweaters if it’s cold. Jeans most days, but sweats or shorts if he’s expecting to have to move. He does have one tailored suit for church service for those rare times he can actually attend.

Hero Appearance

Eli’s not exactly a flashy guy. He likes to keep things simple. And this really reflects in his super suit. It's just a plain black, skintight jumpsuit with a white strip running down the middle. The gloves and boots are both also white. No mask. No cape.

Honestly, he'd much rather go without a suit - it still feels a bit silly to him - but rules are rules. And considering the suit is able to expand should he release the anchor, it DOES have its uses. It's made of a lightweight, yet durable material that is capable of rapidly growing or expanding. The protection it offers is token at best, but anything beats slugging it out with a giant robot in the nude.

Again.

Personality

Patient. Gentle. Kind. Humble.

There’s a sort of calmness that radiates from Eli. It’s a sort of zen-like peace, really. The man keeps a level head and a cool mind no matter what comes his way. He keeps his emotions in check, so even if he is distressed, he doesn’t wear it on his face like some are prone to do. It’s a blessing in some ways.

Eli is a pious man. So showing kindness to others is what he’s all about. It doesn’t matter who someone is or what they might have done, if they need help, he’s gonna help. No one’s beyond redemption, after all. Even the worst villain deserves mercy. It’s not Eli’s place to judge them - only to stop them.

He's got a bit of a stubborn streak to him. He’s very set in his ways and isn’t super open to change or new ideas and concepts. He’s uncompromising in his values and will not budge if those values are challenged. But confrontational, Eli is not. Should things seem like they might get heated or blow up into an argument, Eli’s more likely to simply walk away than get pulled into a shouting match.

Overall, Eli is a happy man. He’s a bit of an optimist, maybe even to a naive degree. But he remains grounded. He’ll maybe crack a joke or two on his own free time, but when things are serious, so is he. Reliable to a fault, when you need something done, you ask Eli.

Everyday Skills

Eli’s pretty athletic, so pretty much any chance he gets, he’s outside. Sports, hiking, climbing. But his main hobby is lifting. The heavier the better.

Eli’s also got a knack for animals. Were he not a hero, Eli likely would have become a farmer. Or an actual preacher. Maybe both.

Combat

Fighting Style

A classic brawler, Eli relies on sheer might to overwhelm his foes. That means up close and personal, throwing hands. Or cars. Or a bus. A pure close range fighter, Eli’s got a solid boxing background meaning he can hold his own on the rare occasion he encounters someone that can match his brute strength.

Strengths

Resistant enough to get in the thick of things and strong enough to cause some serious damage while he’s there.

Weaknesses

Lacks options engaging medium to long range enemies.
Relies completely on being able to punch his way to a solution.

Equipment

The Anchor - the spinal mounted device that regulates Eli’s size. Can be disabled to allow Eli to grow to his true size, or activated to bring him back down to “normal.” Disabling the Anchor will grow Eli rapidly, but shrinking back down takes a few minutes. The process is rather exhausting, meaning that it’s not viable for Eli to grow and shrink multiple times in combat.

SuperStretch™ Clothing - Many of Eli’s clothes have been woven with SuperStretch™ material that allow them to grow and shrink to extreme proportions.



Giant Physiology

Strengths

In his unanchored form, Eli is a massive twenty-one feet tall and is constantly growing even larger. He’s ridiculously strong - able to lift and throw a full-sized bus, albeit that little feat took quite a bit out of him. In addition to his strength, Eli is super durable. At full size, bullets pretty much bounce off the guy. They still hurt a bit, mind you, and enough gunfire is still going to leave a mark, but unless it’s directed at the giant’s eyes, it’s pretty much a waste of time.

When anchored, Eli is less strong, but could still toss a midsize car with little issue. Let’s just say a punch from this guy isn’t going to be fun at any size. His resistances at this size also go down a bit. A bullet still probably won’t pierce his skin, but it’ll leave a helluva bruise. And if it strikes a joint, it’ll probably break a bone. Armor piercing rounds, however, will tear through him no problem.

Weaknesses/Limitations

Eli may seem like a walking tank - and to a degree, he is - but he’s got a massive target on his back that just gets bigger along with him. The anchor isn’t heavily armored or anything. It can be destroyed, same as any other piece of hardware. More easily done by electric based abilities or even some sort of EMP or other tech-frying phenomena. And while yes, the loss of his size regulator would suck, there’s a worse consequence there.

See, it’s not common knowledge, but the Anchor is directly connected with Eli’s spine. It’s basically one giant lightning rod that would direct all charge right into Eli’s central nervous system. It should go without saying that that would not be a good thing. The Anchor’s design isn’t perfect, and Quinton is desperately working on a new one, but it works for now.

Furthermore, the giant’s size is definitely taking a toll on the poor guy. Even spending most of his time compressed, or perhaps because of that, Eli’s body is without a doubt aging quicker than normal. The most recent prognosis gave him a couple more years at best. All things considered, he’s taken the news pretty well.



B I G B O I



Eli has to consume a staggering amount of food per day.
