Archetype: Vigilante
Name: n/a
Alias: Blueface
Age: n/a
Powers: accelerated healing factor
Weaknesses: taking too much damage will make his healing take longer, and his mental state is questionable.
Alignment: walking the line

Personality: mysterious, stoic, short-tempered, reckless, blunt

Appearance: see my avatar lol

BRIEF Bio: A washed up minor league baseball player… A cop who just got promoted to detective… A college kid who saw his sister get abducted… A homeless war veteran down on his luck… A mailroom worker at the Mountaineer Newspaper… Blueface could be anyone.
Potential Storylines:

Who is Blueface? – This will be an ongoing subplot as I’m not going to give him a secret identity from the start. I’m gonna pull a Shadow Hawk and rotate a few supporting cast members around the city to explore the setting and a few posts in I’ll decide which one will be under the mask. I’ll use this as a means to introduce some sandbox characters for the group to have access to such as minor superhuman criminals, organizations, etc. Villains will include Asylum, Ax Man, Heartbreaker, the Valentine Gang, and I’ll go into the J. Jonah Jameson type running the Mountaineer Newspaper.

Blueface Team-Up – Another more street level hero will cross paths with ‘Face and after a brief misunderstanding the two will go after a larger threat, the serial killer called the Ax Man. However there’s something odd about this one… and he and Blueface may have a history. Their powers and skills are nearly identical.

Notes: Equal parts Rorschach and Shadow Hawk. May be convinced to join a larger group of heroes later on. Now that I think about it he’s sorta like Will Eisner’s the Spirit…

Archetype: Feral/Big Man
Name: Kazemitsu
Alias: Kaze, Behemoth, Scales (hates that one).
Age: 28

Powers:

• Natural Body: Given his animalistic body he has the traits to go with them. Heightened strength, endurance, speed, and reflexes. Some are better than the others, namely his strength and endurance are very far up there. Nearly tripling peak human performances. Speed and reflexes are just a little over doubled.
• Bestial Instincts: Like spider-mans spider sense, his instincts give him hints something is up and it's normally not good for his health. Essentially an early warning system that is vague about WHAT is coming, just that something IS coming.
• Acid Spray: As the name suggests he can spray an insanely potent acid from his mouth. He naturally generates it over time, it's not an infinit supply. The acid is actually so strong it can't be contained by anything but himself that he's aware of. Even glass turns into a steaming toxic slop.
• Super Adrenaline: He has a LOT of adrenal glands within his body. Way more than the average human. Obviously this gives him a major physical boost when they all start pumping.

Weaknesses:
Due to his reptilian nature he utterly HATES the cold. It won't kill him, or send him into hibernation, but it makes him sluggish and weakened. He wouldn't mind a nap at that point.

Less of a weakness, more of a personality quirk, he doesn't handle insults well. He gets angry and starts swinging without thinking it through. So...social weakness?

Alignment: Walks the Line

Personality: Instigator, Efficient, Relaxed, Lech, Irritable.

Appearance:
Kaze is a behemoth of a being. A whopping eleven feet tall and built like a house. Black scales, with some silvered by scars, cover his muscular body and act like armor. Thicker, royal purple, plating comes from his jaw, down his neck and torso, all the way to the tip of his enormous tail. His claws and horns are all a pure white, speaking of he has two main horns that curve back along his skull. Roughly two feet long. With three more smaller horns on each side going from the main ones down to his jaw, a protective shield to his ears. The last major feature is the titanic wings he has. The limbs, when stretched out, have a thirty foot span, and have a royal purple membrane. Five claws on the 'elbow' joint act as secondary 'hands'. The edges of the membrane however are tattered, obvious targets since it looks to be the only unarmored portion of him.

BRIEF Bio:
There's not much to say about Kazemitsu's past. He made his butchered name from what japanese he saw, and began to explore and learn. Of course people who saw him in the wilderness thought he was some spawn of Godzilla. But the draconic being has no idea where he came from, what spawned him, or whatever created him. But from his observations he learned that humans are weak, and the strong pushed around the weak. He had no inner sense of justice, but that was just something that irked the hell out of him.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, it depended on your mindset, gangs and villains were starting to show up dead. As if they were mauled by some gigantic beast. Real villains, not just crooks with money, actual super powers, were found to be partially melted but some noxious green sludge. It was later found, because someone finally saw him doing it, that Kaze was destroying the criminals himself. And boy was it being destroyed, the districts he tore through had crime rates plummet. No one wanted to earn his ire. Although it was questioned if he were a hero, or if he just thought villains tasted better. Some even asked what heroes would do about the murdering dragon monster.

Potential Storylines: He's very on the fence about how to do things in the world. Killing villains makes things simpler, but murder is bad to heroes. Maybe one side will be able to sway him in their favor and he might just learn to stop holding back so much.

Notes: He does hold back a lot, so what's listed here isn't his full power.

Archetype: Demi-God / Sharpshooter
Name: Prince Roisin
Alias: Huntsman
Age: 4000+

Powers: In addition to the demihuman strength, speed, and reflexes you would expect from an aelf, even one cursed to a mortal existence, Roisin is a master of archery and bladework. His heritage grants him power over frost and ice - he can buffet foes with chill winter winds, imbue his arrows to freeze them where they stand, sprint across water by freezing it underneath his feet, and so on.

Weaknesses: Like all his kind, Roisin is burned by the touch of cold iron - contact with it is incredibly painful, and even proximity is enough to sap his strength. He is also drained by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat; he can still function, but it'll tire him out quickly.

Alignment: Hero. Kind of a jerk, though.

Personality: Aloof, serious, determined, arrogant, severe.

Appearance:



BRIEF Bio: Roisin is an aelf - an ancient fey race, old when humanity was young, dwelling invisible to them in a realm called the Yonderwild, a magical dimension of untold beauty and terror. For millenia, the aelves tormented mankind from the deep places in the woods - hunting them for sport, enslaving them, appearing as capricious gods and demanding cruel and bloody sacrifice, and none questioned it, for this was the way the powerful behaved to the strong. As mankind matured, the aelves fell into legend, myths of cruel sprites or bloodthirsty gods, bedtime stories to frighten children - yet the kidnapping, the hunting, never stopped.

Roisin is an elder aelf, the son of Queen Medeeara herself. By her immortal will, he and his three siblings were made royalty of the seasons - and he, the most solemn and sober child, became Prince of Winter. He served at his mother's behest and executed her will for millenia, complicit in the cruelty of the court and the torture of the humans, until a chance encounter with a human slave led him to a moral awakening. Overwhelmed with guilt and sorrow and seeing for the first time the wickedness of his people, Roisin vowed to redeem himself for his part in their evil, freeing every slave in the Aelf Queen's palace and battling against his siblings to cover their escape. Ultimately, they proved too strong for him, and as punishment for his defiance, Roisin was banished to the mortal realm, his immortality stripped away. This proved to be their mistake - for as soon as his strength was recovered, he vowed that the secret terror inflicted on humanity by his kin would be ended, and his shadowy war began.

Now, two long years later, he lives as Ronald O'Leary, curator of a local art museum, specializing in antiques. At night, however, he stalks the rooftops as Huntsman, the protector of humanity from all entities, Aelf or otherwise, that would cross over into their world to do them harm.

Potential Storylines:
1. Roisin learns to fit into human society better, work as a team.
2. Roisin's siblings attack on the summer solstice, when he is weakest, forcing him to seek the help of other heroes.
3. Roisin leads an invasion into his homeland for some noble purpose.
4. Roisin learns to respect the others, value humanity more completely rather than as a pet.
Notes: Nothing comes to mind!

Archetype: Alien Techno
Name: Serena Drakos
Alias:
The Mad Draconian
Butcher of Velbar
Age:
Roughly 1000 years old
Powers:
Draconian Physiology - Draconians were once dragons who took on a more humanoid like form at some point in their evolution. This shift causes them to have a far superior muscular system to humans, denser bones, stronger lungs and oxygen carrying capacity, and slightly enhanced mental capacity. Serena is capable of short bursts of speeds exceeding 90 kilometers, lifting objects up to three times her own weight, survive for a short time without ready oxygen, and can be compared to most advanced intellectuals. Shame it went towards...well, less than savory purposes. Also possesses heightened senses, namely hearing, sight, and smell.
Technopath - Ability to control technology. Allows her to remotely operate her own gear, and possibly mess with the technology of an opponent. Primarily used as a form of tactile hacking, to make it easier to steal stuff, or remotely call in an escape.
Weaknesses:
Sonic Weaponry - Sufficiently high frequencies can liquefy organic material, or cause problems, sounds not audible to humans are audible to her, and they can hurt. Can also disrupt her power.
Psconic Weaponry - Attacks on the mind, while less effective from one species to another due to an alien mind, can cause disruption of her power over technology, rendering her ability to control effectively neutralized.
Explosives - Just like most lifeforms, while capable of withstanding some impacts, outright explosions can disorient, and disrupt powers, or jellify internal organs.
Notoriety - A Deserter, Terrorist, Pirate, Thief, Murderer. Serena has a rap sheet as long as she's been alive, or longer, matched as much by the bounties on her head. Makes travel difficult when your mug is splashed across dozens of stellar information nets, wanted dead or alive. Even when hiding out on a backwater.
Alignment: Neutral
Personality: Calculating, "Greedy," Sadistic, Well-mannered, intelligent
Appearance:
Draconians, due to being formally fully fledged dragons, retain elements of their dragonic form in their bipedial form. In Serena's case, this manifests as a thin layer of scales under her skin, her left eye having an iris that looks like a dragon's eye, talons on her hands and feet, a pair of jet black horns that rise from the top of her skull and angle back, as well as a pair of featherless tan wings that extend from her back. Her right eye is green, and possesses a crosshair over the pupil, while her hair is a mix of black and red, extending down to past her waist at its fullest. Some scales are visible where the skin is broken. Her standard clothing, power suit aside, is a simple full length black jumpsuit, or human shorts and a solid blue top.
BRIEF Bio:
Draconians are the stellar version of wanderers, who spend their entire lives moving from system to system, taking safe harbor wherever they can find it, but rarely staying long, as they have a less than stellar rep of causing the destruction of their own worlds, or being cursed with such. Draconians tend to be mostly solitary when not among their own kind, and its not uncommon for them to build space stations in neutral space, the results of cobbling their vessels together. Serena was born on one of these "slumships," born of a warrior family, trained from birth to be a fighter, to perhaps help the Colony Drakos carve out their own territory. But, she was born with an especially potent sense of wanderlust, coupled with being born with a power that hadn't been seen among the Draconians in centuries, a power that was among those heralded as disaster borne. Being a technopath was a blessing and a curse.

In part due to being considered an outsider even by her own people, it wasn't long before Serena deserted her own colony, stealing a ship and supplies, and set off into the cosmic ocean, at the young age of 25. Becoming a mercenary, a profession not uncommon among the star wanderers, she worked a simple system. Sell her skills to the highest bidder, or taking whatever contracts suited her interest. If a power reneged on her payment, she usually took it for herself. Due to how Draconians can effectively live for centuries themselves, if not thousands of years, she tended to just "wait it out" if a bounty on her head became too much of a headache. Dashing off to an uncharted system, wait a few years while doing whatever she wanted, before the government ended up toppling or lost interest. By age 500, she'd become a stellar legend. Such as the Velbar incident, where she blew up an experimental weapon facility, stealing its riches and weapons in the process, being dubbed a Butcher by propaganda, due to killing plenty of enemy soldiers.

Due to Earth's status as a backwater for much of its existence, Serena has visited the planet a few times, hiding out among the solar system, ducking behind Jupiter when eluding fellow bounty hunters. Her last visit was in 1885, when she became a wild west gunslinger for a time. Her return to Earth this time is simple, she pissed off the latest version of a "galactic patrol," by raiding one of their outposts, and perhaps...overall being a headache to them, and even as an outsider, looking out for her own people. Some of her past clients have tried to do her people harm, so she didn't take too kindly to things.

Potential Storylines:
New Home: Simple enough, tired of running so much, and other factors, Serena decides to try and build an enclave for her people, so they can finally call a planet home, rather than slumships. Leading into possible tensions with Earth World governments as the effective stellar refugees start arriving in droves.

Karma's A Pain: Her crimes catch up to her, and bounty hunters track Serena to Earth, antics ensue. Maybe a stellar empire she pissed off comes looking to start trouble, or seeking to annex Earth, crosses paths.

Black Hole's Shadow: A darkness from deep space comes seeking Draconians, an old evil that's the reason Draconians rarely stay in one place. Just the usual "we messed up a long time ago, its still after us." Takes soft inspiration from the Interstellar Game's transcendence bad ending thing.

Notes:
Draconians are a modification of a group from an rp game me and some friends are in, same name, but with a completely different situation. I do like the idea of wandering races, as that is a trope in some media. Serena's loadout would probably be a suit of power armor with shielding, but generally a high tech space suit really. Ship is a mobile home, with everything she could need. And yes, like most dragons, she hoards stuff. Mostly artwork and other cultural things she's stolen from various races that crossed her. Could be she's stolen a few Earth paintings in her life. Further questions can be asked whenever.

Archetype: Mystical

Name: Morgana Pendragon / Morgan Persington
Alias: Many-Faced Witch, Black Witch, Sorceress Supreme of the Arcane Winds
Age: 25 (~2500+)

Powers: Morgan is a master wizard and magician - having control over the four elements (air, water, earth, fire) and mastery of the arcane arts. Ranging from illusion to alchemy. Due to her age, she has had a lifetime of learning to master many magical arts.

Weaknesses: Due to her age, Morgan has been forced to 'adopt' several faces behind artificial masks. As she is still human, she is unable to remember everything and thus requires time to 'remember' spells and tricks from ages past. Thus something that she may have learned during the Victorian Age may not be recalled immediately by her in the modern age. Thus, whenever she needs to utilize more 'complex' spells - she needs time to meditate and recall them or more time to cast them.

Alignment: Anti-Hero

Personality: Quirky, friendly, strange, inquisitive, mysterious.

Appearance:




BRIEF Bio: Morgan Persington on the outside seems like the typical college girl, with an interest in old history and mythology. In secret, she is one of the many personalities of Morgana Pendragon - the legendary magi and witch of King Arthur. In truth, Morgana Pendragon had been a good friend and ally of King Arthur - during times where magic was slowly fading away and many saw the inevitable end of Camelot and the potential loss of all history and culture of that time.

Morgana had been chosen to carry on the 'Arcane Winds' - a magical essence, that contained the knowledge and wisdom of several countless wizards and druids of the time. In doing so, Morgana became ageless - although, as the times wore on, her duty became harder and harder as age wore out her mind and will - all the while her body remained untouched by the sands of time. Thus, Morgana Pendragon forged the first mask and would continue doing so for several centuries.

Being a wandering hermit in one life, settling down with a family in another, even hunted as a witch in some others - while helping to change history or help out 'heroes and kings' in another. Thus throughout the ages, she would wear different personalities - each one having a masked carved for them by the 'last' wearer. This has lead to the current persona, Morgan Persington to assume that the variety of masks she has 'collected' are her past lives and not herself per say. Though like many other personalities - she has remained the loyal and steadfast to those whom are her friends.

Potential Storylines: Discovering her alternative personas and trying to unravel the mystery and ultimate goal set out by Morgana Pendragon.

Notes: Dunno yet.

Archetype: Alien

Name: Ch'uck 45

Alias: Mountain City’s Godzilla, Enorme, The Triclops

Age: 201

Powers: Enorme normally stands at ten feet tall but is capable of growing to skyscraper height and possibly more. Furthermore Ch’uck has three eyes, each capable of firing a concussive laser bursts swell as being able to stretch his body to a certain degree. In order to make a quick escape, Ch’uck employs his active camouflage to blend in with his surroundings and slink away once he’s done with his ‘chores’.
Weaknesses: Ch’uck has never learnt english aside from a few key phrases that he’s picked up over the years. His large height makes it difficult for him to get away from crowds especially during the day time when his camouflage doesn’t work as well.

Alignment: Hero

Personality: Kind, Stoic, ⌿⍜⍜⌿⊬, Lonely

Appearance: [pic or description]

BRIEF Bio: Nobody knows how he got there or how long he was trapped beneath the ice of the Arctic but when that first massive eye caught the gaze of a core sample driller, it was clear that the beast wasn’t from Earth. The driller passed the word along of his discovery to his supervisor who reported back to the mainland and within the next two days a new team came to replace the old one. However this team was in reality a group sent to retrieve the beast for study. Much to their surprise though the beast was missing, in its place was an alien shaped hole in the ice. After an extensive search the old team was finally sent back to the main land while the new ’team’ continued to search.

Days later a massive monster was seen walking near the outskirts of Mountain city, lumbering towards the city before shrinking away and disappearing. Now there’s been talks of the Triclops showing up around the town, helping it’s citizens out but also just as many claiming the monster was breaking into malls and toy stores, stealing all sorts of random children's toys. Whatever the beast’s plans are remain to be seen but one thing that’s clear is that humanity aren’t the only ones out there.

Potential Storylines:
MIB: Massive Intergalactic Being - A pair of Men in Black trek around Mountain City looking for any information on Mountain City’s Kaiju. Meanwhile, Ch’uck does his best to stay one step ahead of his pursuers.
Home is where the ⌇⊑⍜⟒⌰⏃☊⟒ is - Ch’uck explores Mountain City, looking for a place to call home but ends up coming into contact with a threat bigger than he is.

Notes:

Archetype:
Feral, Mystical
Name:
Timothy Moreland, listed as initially missing and presumed deceased as of February 23rd, 2013. The astral entity colloquially referred to as "The Aspect" operates under any number of names, appearing to have no real concept to any of them or any loyalty to the ideal. Known functional aliases include but are presumed not limited to "Scott Penn", "Christopher Snow", and "Mark Theron" but other informal titles directly related to its being exist as well, some of which it has addressed itself by as "The Wilder" or "The Red".
Alias:
"The Aspect", or simply "Aspect", is the functional designation used for the sake of convenience.
Age:
Moreland portrays an apparent physical age of twenty-six years while generous estimates place the the Aspect as young as 41,290 BCE. As with its name, little is known or understood about the "Aspect" due to its non-living nature.
Powers:
Mysticism or "pure magic" of and relating to the soul or spirits as well as interaction with the astral plane, see index references to Astral Manipulation with special emphasis on subsets of Astral Attacks, Astral Fortitude, Astral Projection, Astral Trapping, and Astral Vision. The most notable and overt of which is the manipulation of the body and soul, the method in which the "Aspect" manages to control the deceased, formerly Moreland. Because the "Aspect" is a spiritual entity, it can assume a variety of forms by manipulating itself, although it only takes a select set of them and will not vary. These are presumed to be in conjunction with its "feral" identity, that its make-up is biased in a certain direction and will not, even if reasonably capable of it, deviate from that.

Because the "Aspect" is a non-physical entity regularly, it is not regularly meaningfully harmed by material, physical interaction with the universe. While it can be disabled in the bodily world or even "killed" in that sense, such as by outright destruction of its possessed, manipulated form, the "Aspect" itself is only readily discorporated and pushed back into the astral plane, where it may manifest again in spirit form or simply remain there. Regularly, it will choose to to fight from either or both perspectives, tearing at soul and flesh alike with claw and fang.
Weaknesses:
Magic, note that spiritual entities are only readily physically and supernaturally vulnerable to forces of magic. While all forms of magic still impact them, some forms of magic are highly ineffective, such as those that manipulate the living or cause harm based on physical approximation. As consequence, psychic powers are much more effective as they directly confront and attack astral beings on a level that regularly only other astral beings can, another subset of its weakness to magic. Likewise, their physical manifestations into the world are not immortal even if unnaturally resilient and capable of functioning up to outright destruction.
Alignment:
Neutral, Walking the Line
Personality:
Aloof, Cunning, Mystical, Predatory, Prideful
Appearance:
Average in both weight and height for age, Moreland is a non-distinct adult white male with brown hair and brown eyes. Despite his status as an actually dead person, operant in body and name only, Moreland bears no evidence of his animation by the "Aspect" outwardly. Guided to appear like most his peers and draw as little attention to himself as possible, he frequently dresses appropriate for the occasion but never anything particularly well off; always subdued and likely to be ignored, fade into the background. Moreland is the type of regular person, presumably on purpose, who one would forget upon meeting them unless something unusual happened during that instance. As result, Moreland often at most wears a sweatshirt, jeans, and trail shoes, but will feign being affected by weather such as through appropriate dress.

The "Aspect", however, when manifest through Moreland or whatever it is in possession of, often takes its chosen form of an enormous cat. For obvious reason as it it is the "Aspect of the Ferine" or some spirit of old still left lingering that has coalesced to embody a number of ideals of its archetype. While it can change shape and size appropriately, as well as make itself "invisible" by entering the astral plane, while in possession of Moreland it cannot perform these more exotic changes such as its innate quality of being unseen by mundane methods. Regardless, it manifests physically and in astral forms as the aforementioned animal to do the majority of its work when it needs act directly.
Biography:
On Friday, February 22nd, 2013, at approximately 0952 hours, Timothy Moreland, a twenty-six year old college history student, departed on a solo hike in the Appalachian Mountains from Mountain City at the trail head of Ace of Clubs Trail, Warpath State Park. By 2300 hours, Saturday, Februrary 23rd, while it was determined he was missing, law enforcement were not notified by his roommates until that following Monday, more than forty-eight hours later. After several days of searching Warpath State Park and reasonable avenues of approach or departure, neither Moreland or his vehicle could be found, leading police to broaden their search. Moreland was never found and was never heard from again.

Unfortunately, Moreland had at some point during one of his nights lost in the forest encountered extraordinary phenomena and while it is unclear if he willingly addressed it or had attempted to flee from it, he did not see the sunrise of Monday. Moreland suffered a fatal fall from a mountainside scree field on Ace of Clubs Trail and was revived, physically, by the same thing he had encountered during his time in the forest. For all intents and purposes, this is where the story of Timothy Moreland ends. It is unclear why there was astral phenomena along this section of Warpath State Park, however, speculation by those informed on the incident itself suggest that he was targeted, likely because he was alone, lost, and vulnerable, and would serve as an excellent means to complete the objectives held by the "Aspect". After assuming the identity of the victim, the "Aspect" had an entry and a way into the world, further leading some to suggest it had been banished for an extended period, as its effective death is implausible.

In turn, the "Aspect of the Ferine" disappeared for a time and so did Moreland as consequence. Only relatively recently of the past year has there been growing evidence to suggest that the "Aspect" is overtly active again and acting on its agenda. What that agenda is, is unclear, but appears to orient around a pursuit of some kind that is relentless and singularly focused.
Potential Storylines:
There is no reason the "Aspect" posing as Moreland cannot be convinced to and from either side of Mountain City's forces. Its agenda is its own and it has no through and through loyalties, making it a readily available ally if the interests align. While this design makes it untrustworthy to the ends of others and difficult to manipulate long term, it is a force with as of yet shaped direction.
Notes:
No additional comment provided by reviewer.

My apologies - even though you clearly stated this was a sandbox situation, I somehow missed the fact when originally reading the posts. That style is not my cup of tea, largely because I just don't have the time to devote to helping to create something out of whole cloth. There are some great characters here, and I hope y'all have a ton of fun!
