Usual Base of Operations:
Gotham City

Day Job:
Bio-Professor at Gotham University

Powers:
The ability to shrink down to microscopic size, and the ability to shift her weight so even at (for example) six inches tall she can have weight and strength as though she were her normal size. Can also shift her weight so that she can float on air currents and travel along cell-phone signals. When she shrinks her default height (for lack of a better term) is six inches.

Weaknesses:
She is mortal. She can be hurt like an ordinary person, but with her shrinking something that may not be a threat to a normal sized person becomes a threat to her. For example, getting cornered by a cat.

Skills:
Rhiannon is a biologist which makes her quite skilled in science. To make sure that she knew how to defend her self, her father Edwin had Rhiannon take up boxing lessons so she knows how to throw a punch.

Appearance:


BRIEF Bio:
Rhiannon Palmer was born and raised in Metropolis. Her father Edwin was the QB for the Metropolis Stallions, a four time Super Bowl Champion and four time league MVP while her mother Alice was an author. In Metropolis the family was royalty and life was a sweet as it could get for Rhiannon. However Rhiannon hated the limelight and didn't like that people wanted to get to know her because of who her family was and not who she was. Although she shunned the limelight and longed for privacy Rhiannon loved her parents and had a good home life. When she graduated high-school Rhiannon went to Gotham City University so she could make her name on her terms. Rhiannon graduated with her PHD in molecular biology and was hired by the CDC and was sent to work their facility in Central City.

A meteorite pulsating with unknown and unparalleled energy crashed outside of Central City and the CDC was called to investigate. Rhiannon was the lead investigator and she ordered the meteorite to be taken to their facility. Once it arrived the meteorite was placed in a secured room under the highest security protocols for testing where Rhiannon would conduct the opening tests alone. As they were getting ready to run their tests there was a power surge that managed to knock the security measures off line. Unfortunately the main door locked trapping Rhiannon in the room with the meteorite and when the protective shielding collapsed it exposed her to the full energy for over five minutes. Even in her isolation suit there was no promises that Rhiannon wasn't going to be affected somehow. The crew managed to finally retrieve the unconscious Rhiannon and get her to the isolation ward.

After two weeks in isolation and a seemingly endless array of tests being run it was determined that Rhiannon was unaffected. One day while she was cleaning her apartment when she noticed an earring had fallen under her dresser. Rhiannon concentrated on trying to reach the earring, and then suddenly she noticed the earring was getting closer and bigger. The next thing Rhiannon knew the earring was the size of small hill. Rhiannon at first was terrified to find that she had shrunk and was wondering if it was permanent. Rhiannon concentrated and returned to normal size. She went down to the CDC and ran some more in-depth tests in herself. Rhiannon discovered that the energy from the meteorite had mutated her pituitary gland. It was a gradual process and on such a small scale that the original tests missed it.

Rhiannon kept this discovery to herself but knew she had been given these powers for a reason and decided it was time to use them to make a difference. She stayed many late nights at the CDC "borrowing" certain materials to make her costume. Rhiannon decided to leave the CDC because she didn't want to stay too much longer in case questions would be raised.

Rhiannon moved to Gotham where she is currently a Professor at Gotham City University. She has a name picked out for her crime fighting alter-ego; "The Atom."

Supporting Characters:
Edwin Palmer (Her father. Former QB and current head of scouting for the Metropolis Stallions. Dying of cancer)
Alice Palmer (Her mother. Writer)
Dr. Celia Becker (Best friend at work)
Dr. Kent Nelson (Her boss/Department Chair)

Secondary Character:
Dr. Fate

Additional Notes:
Rhiannon is an introvert but does have a sarcastic wit about her. When she becomes The Atom she feels like she can do or say anything because she feels her mask empowers her to just let down a lot of her inhabitations. Rhiannon was pregnant in college, but was in a car accident which caused her to lose her baby.

Powers:
Frankenstein is undead and as such does not need to eat, drink, or sleep. He is also functionally immortal as he can replace lost body parts with spare parts as long as they are the relative same size. Frankenstein also possesses strength greater than that of a regular human. Finally, Frankenstein possesses a neural implant that connects him to the SHADE database, allowing him to access the various files they have.

Weaknesses:
As an undead being, Frankenstein is susceptible to all magics that target the dead, and could potentially banished to the afterlife. Also, while he is able to replace lost body parts, if he were to be separated into small enough parts, then Frankenstein would be unable to be reformed.

Skills:
Frankenstein is proficient in combat, being a skilled brawler, marksman, and sword fighter, as he wields a sword that used to belong to the Archangel Michael. Frankenstein also possesses a vast knowledge of the occult.

Appearance:
Frankenstein is a very large man, standing at 6’4’’ with very wide shoulders. His skin is a mishmash of decaying green and grey skin, covered in hundreds of stitches that are keeping him together. On his face, Frankenstein has short black hair, deep brown eyes, and two bolts lodged into his brain. He tends to wear old style clothing, with a mix of newer coats. On one hip he has a steampunk style pistol, while the other has the longsword of the Archangel Michael.

BRIEF Bio:
Given an unnatural birth by Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Adam was the result of grave digging, necromancy, and experimental science. Dubbed the monster, at first he was dumb and mute, but Victor saw fit to train him. Within a few weeks he was talking, and then learning other useful skills, even taking the name Adam. For several months Adam was kept locked in Victor’s lab, all the while Victor trying to create more creatures. Eventually, Adam escaped the lab, wishing to see the outside world. However, his presence in the nearby village sparked fear, the villagers chasing Adam back to Victor’s lab.

The villagers would burn down Victor’s lab, as Adam escaped with a female creation. For a year they hid in the wilderness of Northern Europe, even marrying one another. However, they would be reunited with their creator Victor Frankenstein, when he decided to destroy all evidence of his work. Victor seemed to kill Adam’s bride before escaping. Furious, Adam chased down Victor to the Arctic, where they had a climatic battle on a glacier, with both of them falling into the freezing water.

Adam would remain in the water for some time before making his way to America. There he would try to live in isolation, avoiding the humans. However, his isolation would be broken when he encountered the Bride once again. She had survived her encounter with Victor and was now a monster hunter. Her appearance prompted Adam to join her in monster hunting. The two would travel together for a while, before departing as they found their relationship wasn’t working. Adam would continue hunting monsters for decades before being approached by the American government, who wanted him to hunt down monsters created by the Nazis.

Once the war ended, Adam would continue to work with the American government, eventually meeting a person named Father Time, who was founding an organization called the Super Human Advanced Defence Executive, or SHADE. Adam would be one of the first agents of SHADE. During his tenure with SHADE, Adam would be put in charge of the Creature Commandos, a team of other monsters, such as vampires, werewolves, and mummies. Recently, Adam had an encounter with the Archangel Michael, who gifted him his sword and a few secret words. Whatever the angel had told him, it prompted Adam to take some time off from SHADE, and begin to look into the Justice League.

Supporting Characters:
The Bride - The only other remaining creation of Victor Frankenstein. While once married to Adam, they have since separated and she too now works as a monster hunter.
Father Time - A seemingly immortal being, Father Time runs SHADE, a secret powered agency. While Frankenstein is technically on leave from SHADE, he is still in contact with Father Time.
The Creature Commandos - A unit of monsters that work for SHADE that used to serve under Frankenstein. While not under his command anymore, the Commandos would do anything to help Frankenstein.

Department of Archaeology, Miskatonic University

Day Job:
Research associate and doctoral candidate

Powers:
- Levitation
- Telekinesis
- 150% of top human ability (the best record normal human can achieve + some more)

--- Superhuman strength
--- Superhuman speed
--- Superhuman endurance
--- Superhuman acuity

Weaknesses:
She's basically human, so whatever can hurt or even kill a human has the same effect to her. However, a "kill switch" hidden in an ancient spell book written in unknown symbols of an unknown language spoken by unknown creatures that probably had different vocal organ, is able to nullify Sophia's powers and inflict her with a terrible pain in the process.

Skills:
- Analytical thinking:
She's an academic person, what else to expect?

- Gymnastics:
Sophia took gymnastics as an extracurricular activity during her school years. She won a championship as the first place winner. Some skills were retained during her time being a The Black Lotus.

Knows ballet, latin, and jazz dance; Sophia took some courses as side activities during her college years. This kept her healthy and being in good shape.

Appearance:


BRIEF Bio:
Sophia got her power when she tried to analyze a strange tome that her colleague found deep in the underground archive. Since that moment, a strange figure visited Sophia in her dream on nightly basis. That figure, appeared as a woman, repeatedly said something that initially Sophia was not able to understand. It was after the same figure showed a sequence of symbols that Sophia began to see. The symbols was written at one part of the tome. As she matched the sounds and the symbols, Sophia was able to finally recite a complete line of that book. Little she knew that she had just activated an ancient magic.

Through that magic, Sophia awakened her power, but the process also flooded her brain with a stream of information about an imminent ritual sacrifice that would be conducted by a group of sentient creatures of the ancient world, currently in hibernation. When the stars come into their right place, a catastrophic event would begin in that mankind would be sacrificed for the coming of an ancient Eldritch Overlord. Sophia's utterance of the spell resulted in the early awakening of the creatures as their powers are still immature, allowing them to be stopped before the cataclysmic event begin.

Even so, the task of stopping the Eldritches fell into Sophia's hand, but their presence among human community is still unknown. However, there's a rumor about a cult that worships the Eldritches that the members are a cabal of mafia ringleaders. Sophia also felt obliged to put herself in their way. Sophia's dark attire gained her a moniker, The Black LOtus.

Star Sapphire Ring

Ring must be charged.

General dangers of violet energy

Visual Artist
Museum skills
A decent understanding of science

Appearance:
Tessa is an attractive young woman who favors artsy sorts of clothing. She can usually be seen with some sort of stains on her fingers if she hasn't had a chance to scrub.



BRIEF Bio:
Tessa was born in the Coast City suburbs, her parents were both in the sciences. A professor of biology and a chemist. She was raised steeped in it. A microscope for her fifth birthday level of science family. Her brother took to it like water, she always preferred drawing pictures of the things they saw to getting into the details. Not that she didn't absorb plenty, and it did make its way into her artwork later.

In high school she went to a STEAM school, for her it was an emphasis on the arts. And that was where she started street art. Some people might call it tagging but she called it art. It was college, though, that she started to get commissions for murals. That was where she met the love of her life, at least she thought it was. A sculptor in all sorts of different mediums. They even decided to go to grad school together.

Out one night, Alex was just sitting around and watching Tessa do her work with she heard it. A car above slammed into the guard rail which knocked a piece of concrete off crushing Tessa's beloved. The scream, the strength of her emotional reaction must have reached out into the cosmos because the ring came to her in that moment.

Timothy Torres (Younger Brother)

Secondary Character:

Additional Notes:
She only recently got her ring and is still learning.

However, with the very nature of superhero RPs and the various power levels of the threats, I find that the upper ceiling and specifics of your character's powers are best left vague so you can adjust them as you need. That way, your "broken" combos can still be used later on but be held back early on due to story elements like the character's inexperience, hesitation, and whatever else. The charging time you suggested is a good implementation of inexperience that you can reduce or get rid of later on, plus you can do a training story arc too.
