Personality
Jiang is confident and calm individual but a little with drawn from the world around her. She guards herself and has a hard time letting people in. Most might believe she no longer cares with her laid back attitude but her kind and compassionate heart still beats in her chest. After living so long, there is nothing that is usually new or exciting for her but she has grown far wiser than most. She hides her pain behind witty remarks or humor, trying to pass things off as fine. She is a complicated woman who marches to the beat of her own drum and most that have the pleasure of knowing her are just along for the chaotic ride. Some days you might be greeted with the gentle side of her and other days you might be seeing the warrior, the grim reaper in human form. It is a toss up for sure but if someone stands by her and earns her friendship or loyalty then there is no one better you can trust.

_{If you wish for an ally, nothing comes without a price. Be warned though, not all things are weighted with gold or coin so proceed with caution.
If an enemy is what you wish, then all that shall be received is a swift death at the end of my blades before ever realizing there was danger to fear.}

Weapon(s)
Dual Swords (Yin and Yang)
These two swords were forged out of mysterious ancient metals and handed down through the family of the blacksmith who crafted them. Only the one chosen by the blades can use them and the chosen welder gains knowledge of these swords capabilities upon ownership. Each faintly hums with power and are etched with symbols up the blade. One blade is void black with whispers emanating from the blade as it seems to draw light in. This swords handle is craved from a white wood grounding the blade so that the whispers don't draw the user in. The other blade is pearlescent white and as it slashes through the air a song can be heard coming from it. This swords handle is craved from an ebony wood and shields the user from the enchanting song. In all this time, they have never dulled and never halted their own tunes.
_{Smoke Bombs, Flash Bombs, Daggers, Poison Needles, etc.}

Weapon Power
While each blade holds its own unique power, they also effect their users on a physical level. The passing of time no longer effect them, stopping their aging process in its tracks as well as providing enhanced strength and durability. These effects however will fade away if the users stops using/carrying the swords after a long period of time.
The Whispering Blade (Black/Yin) can sever pieces of shadows from others and be absorbed by the blade giving the user the ability to know where the person is at all times and shift into their physical appearance.
The Chorus Blade (White/Yang) gives the user the ability to mimic others' voices if they have spoken near the blade. The blade can also produce a hypnotic song if the user knows how which can lull enemies to sleep if the targets are unaware.
The user can only mimic while the sword is sheathed, once it is pulled from the sheath the mimic disappears. If the user kills someone with one of the blades, depending on the blade that slays them their soul is absorbed and either sent to a place of pure bliss or torment. Consequently, the absorbed soul can provide the user with access to either their voice or physical form until the user releases the souls to their right place (heaven or hell).

Weaknesses
Even though she can take hits most humans can’t and live, she is still only human and can thus be killed/harmed like any other.

Backstory
Jiang has been alive since ancient China, which time period exactly she couldn’t say and no longer knows. She can’t even remember how old she is anymore since she stopped counting after awhile. In the beginning, she was just the daughter of a blacksmith, a profession passed down the line one son after the next. She was expected to do the same as all women from that time, find a husband from a respectable family, continue another families legacy while her brother carried on their own family name. Fate seemed to have different plan however, as the king needed more able bodied men and her brother’s lack of interest in the family business had him joining the army. While he was given Yin and Yang for protection, the swords did not chose him and ultimately did not give him the extra protection they could provide. He was lost to battle a few years after joining, her parents were obviously devastated and now all the pressure was on her to find a suitable match with the swords to be placed with her dowry. A woman didn’t need a weapon let alone two after all.

Jiang was miserable as all her prospects repulsed her and she didn’t wish to be married off. Each day seemed closer and closer to the day that what little freedom she possessed would be snatched from her. She thought about running away but then where would she go, what would she do? Selling herself wasn’t an option she would agree to and being property wasn’t all that appealing either. Her mother kept telling her that she would learn to love her husband but that isn’t the life she wanted. She struggled with what to do when the choice was made for her as bandits attacked her village. Her father was slain before he could even reach for the swords and Jiang just reacted, grabbing them and weakly standing her ground but she heard it. The swords tune, the whispering call and the siren chorus rang out to her to speak their power. That night was the first time she spilled blood and gathered souls to use for her own advantage. Jiang would be presumed dead by her mother even with no body found and she would pretend to be another. If she has to live as a man in public so that she could have a peaceful life than so be it.

She slowly made her way through the ages, be it as a soldier, a thief, a hunter, or even a bandit. Jiang learned as much as she could and made herself a master. She made herself a ghost and a weapon. She made herself into the fears and nightmares of others so they wouldn’t dare be near or ask for her presence. Every once and awhile someone became brave asking for either her assistance or an enemy came to test themselves. Some made it out alive, others were not so lucky. She has mostly been forgotten but there are a few that still believe in legend and seek her or the swords out for themselves. Currently, Jiang lives in Chinatown as it somewhat reminds her of home even though she has enough money to afford somewhere much more luxurious. She will take odd bounty jobs here and there or grant favors in return for something she wants. Sides don’t matter to her as she seen many a fight come and go. Everything will eventually fade and she will still be here stuck in time.

Title/Code Name
The Unbeatable Ultraman! (Ultraman/Ultra for short)

Species
Human

Gender
Male

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Age
21

Birthday
December 25th

Personality
While Akio does his best to act like his charismatic and cocky idol that was Iron Man, he...Can't pull it off well. At his core, he is a huge dork, all too ready to geek out and go overboard on any topic that comes up that even slightly interests him, and he especially enjoys ranting about his work to any and all willing to listen. However, underneath that nerdiness and more than a slight need to be recognized for something, he has the real workings of a Hero, and genuinely wants to be able to do right by his fellow man.

Affiliation
Heroic/Selfless
The way I see things, it should never be about what you can do for yourself; it's what you can do for others.

Weapon(s)
The Ultraman Suit MK-I

Designed from the scraps of a salvaged Ultron drone (not that Kubo's aware that's what he salvaged), the MK-I might not be a Tony Stark patented nanosuit, but it can certainly get the job done. While far from unbreakable, it's able to handle most forms of non-Superhuman assault fairly well, beyond higher level firearms and explosives, and enhances Akio's strength considerably, more than enough to throttle any street-level thug, and put up a serious fight against more dangerous opponents. However, it's true power comes from...

The Kubo Generator
The Kubo Generator is a power source of Akio's own design, based off the remains of the power source the salvaged drone has, and some facets of Stark's famous Arc Reactor. While it's power generation is quite inefficient and needs tuning, it gets the job done, able to run the suit for about a full day. Assuming he doesn't pull anything special, which he almost always does. Namely, the propulsor beams able to be fired from the palms of the suit, which possess enough concussive force to knock out a normal human in one good blast, and can be charged for a bit of extra 'oomph', potentially busting straight through concrete. The suit also possesses boosters to allow flight, but...They've been finnicky, so unless it's an emergency, they're considered inactive for the MK-I. However, Kubo has one special weapon up his sleeve still....

Purge System
Just as Iron Man had his Unibeam, Kubo has what he's dubbed the 'Purge System'. By channeling all but 5% of the suit's remaining power to its mouthpiece, Ultraman unleashes a devastating beam of energy that can decimate just about anything it hits. Of course, this is certainly a last resort, but a very potent one.

R.E.G.I.S.
Named after an alien robot from an old TV show, R.E.G.I.S. is the J.A.R.V.I.S. to Ultraman's Iron Man. Patched up from some remaining data in the drone he salvaged, R.E.G.I.S. assists Kubo in tracking the suit's power usage, current power, suit integrity, and offers direction in combat scenarios (as Akio is very unpracticed in the art of combat). R.E.G.I.S. can also be used to hack into anywhere Kubo needs to get into, and perform lightning-fast internet searches, which can be surprisingly useful.

Powers

(Based on the Marvel Power Grid)
+Level 5 Intelligence (Genius, could be considered a Level 6 Intelligence (Super-Genius) with aid of R.E.G.I.S.)
+Level 1 Strength (Level 4 with the Ultraman suit, able to lift roughly 2 tonnes)
+Level 2 Speed (in the Ultraman suit, he can reach up to 60 MPH running. Once he works out the boosters, he can go much faster)
+Level 1 Durability (Level 3 in Ultraman suit. Can remain unharmed or lightly damaged from most ordinary weaponry)
+Level 1 Fighting Skill (Level 4 with combat analysis from R.E.G.I.S.)

Weaknesses
-Without the Ultraman suit, Akio is a frail and unskilled combatant. And even with the Ultraman suit, his combat experience is painfully prevalent.
-The Ultraman suit can resist most forms of assault, but Kubo has yet to make it resistant to electric assaults, making it prone to being overloaded or fried with a large enough voltage, or at the least dazing the suit's systems.
-EMPs can render the suit temporarily inert.
-The energy consumption of the suit is currently very inefficient, so drawn out fights are poor fits for Ultraman.

Current Residence
Astoria, New York, in the shabbiest house he could buy (he needs his cash for way more important things than his digs)

Backstory

Akio's life story has been one of, mainly, disappointment. His mother was a self-absorbed woman who only got with his dad on a fling, and his father, while a genius man himself, was also quite the bitter alcoholic. It didn't take long after he was born for the divorce to get filed, and for his pops to win custody. That was a bad start, but it got worse.

Growing up with his father, Akio was taught that to win in this world, one needs to be cunning and ruthless in equal measures; fitting advice from a man who fought his way tooth and nail up the ladder of a huge Japanese tech company. As such, he was very hard on the boy, forcing him to be better, always saying that he wasn't living up to his potential. When those kind of talks were the closest thing he got to familial connections, it's no surprise Akio got so desperate for approval and attention from others.

In school, he found himself quickly outpacing many other students, and per his father's requests, he moved up grades several times. Hell, by the time he was getting into High School, he was barely Middle School age. While teachers praised him for his intellect and excellent school work, he was disconnected from the students, unable to find any friends in his years of school. College didn't change that; if anything, it somehow got worse there. By the time he graduated from Kyoto University, he was probably one of the most antisocial and awkward human beings on the planet, with no real connection to other people and certainly zero people skills to speak of.

Due to this, in spite of his genius-level intellect and college degrees, he struggled to find work, usually taking jobs in small shops as a cashier or janitor, or when those things turned belly-up, he occasionally resorted to hacking and selling information on the web (though he tried to make sure anything he dug up wasn't too important). However, one day things took an unexpected turn when he just....Ceased to exist.

Yes, Akio was among the billions of people who were snapped away in an instant due to the Mad Titan's actions. And once he returned, he practically found himself in a whole new world. For someone like him, it was absolutely terrifying. However, snapped individuals were compensated by the government, and once his pay came in, he decided he needed to get away from everything for a while.

Using some of his snap Yen, Akio paid for a trip to a quiet area in Russia, if only to spend some time to catch his breath and realign himself in the world. However, he had no idea what he'd find on this trip. One day, when spending a chilly morning on a walk through the nearby forestry, he came across something he couldn't explain; the wreck of what looked to be some kind of robot, or drone, but in almost complete disrepair. Still...Some of the parts looked serviceable, and the design of the machine evoked something in Kubo. It was then an idea struck him.

After the fight that saw all those who were erased returned, the world was down many of its greatest defenders, not least of all being the one and only Iron Man, Tony Stark. The world needed heroes now more than ever...And with this heap of potentially incredible parts...With that, he began hauling as much of the totaled drone as he could back home, and started his work on Project Ultraman.

After several months of backbreaking labor, intensive research, and, regrettably, a lot of information sold on the net for quick bucks, he finally finished it; the MK-I Ultraman suit. With it in tow, he did the only thing that came to his mind. If he was going to debut as one of the next big heroes of the world, he'd need a suitable stage, and New York was practically a breeding ground for ne'er-do-wells, but also a place where great heroes could be found. And he'd be the next.

Selling off all his belongings in Russia, he got himself a ticket to New York, bought himself a shabby house (honestly closer to a hut almost) in Astoria, and prepared for his big move...

Special Skills

Information Gathering
Cooking (yeah, when he isn't holed up in his pseudo-lab doing tests, he likes to cook)

_{"Long have I dreamt of your end. Come, drink with me in the pool of sorrow"}
Title or Hero/Villain/Code name: HEKA
Species: Half-Breed (it’s a mystery)
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Age: 28
Birthday: November 15

Nickname: He sometimes goes by Vas in some smaller circles.

Title/Code name: Fuse

Species: Human (Mutant)

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Pansexual

Age: 24

Birthday: January 18th

Personality: Lev is a generally loud individual. He tends to draw attention in any environment. Very much a people person, and extremely self-confident to boot. He tends to lack a filter when talking to people, a little too honest for his own good. It generally results in people not liking him or being a little put off by his presents. He also has no sense of personal space, which has gotten him hit on more than one occasion.

Height: 6ft 4in, or 193CM

Body type: Lean but muscular.

Affiliation: No real affiliation, whatever is paying and serves him best at the time.

Powers: Lev has the ability to convert the potential energy stored in an inanimate object into pure light kinetic energy, thus "charging" that item with highly explosive results. He prefers to charge smaller objects as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for him to throw. The larger an item is the more time it takes to charge. Most charging takes place through direct skin contact. The power of his explosions is dependent on the mass of the object he is charging: for example, a charged pebble explodes with the force of a grenade. He can also use his abilities to accelerate an object's kinetic energy instead of converting its potential energy; for example, he can charge his Bo staff with enough kinetic energy and power to level a small house. He can also use this to make him faster than a normal human, though not by much. He cannot charge living beings, like animals and other people. At least he is pretty sure he can’t, he has never tried.

Weapons: Lev keeps a small pouch of pebbles on him, they are easy to find and quick to charge. He is also well trained in fighting with a Bo staff as well as well practiced in Keto.

Weaknesses: Lev is still very much a human so being stabbed or shot can kill him if not attended to or if it’s a lethal wound.

Likes: Food, women, men, money

Dislikes: people disrespecting him

Current Residence: A small flat in NYC

Backstory: Lev was born in Moscow, Russia. Though he and his parents only lived there for the first 11 years of his life. It was at age 10 that Lev accidentally discovered his abilities. It was because of this that his family had to flee the country. From the age of 11 to the present day he has been in America. His family settled in New York and took work where they could find it. They were a poor family, relying on the kindness of neighbors and friends most of the time to get by.

As he grew up, Lev learned how to control his abilities and ended up with the wrong type of people. Though he chooses to keep this part of his life to himself. Often glancing over his teen years when talking about himself. Now, as an adult he still has some dealings with the more sketchy side of the city however it’s more something he uses to gather information he might need. He has friends in dark places and is not afraid to utilize those friends when it suits him. Though he is just as quick to turn on those same people should they betray him.

Special Skills: Keto, despite his lack of a filter he is a master and knowing what people want to hear. He is a smooth talker when he wants to be. Fluent in Russian.

Other: Has a prominent Russian accent when he speaks.

Name: Luciana

Nickname: Luci, she will hurt someone if they call her Luciana

Code name: Seraph

Species: Half Angel (She is not aware of this.)

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Straight

Age: 20-ish

Birthday: Unknown

Personality: Slightly skittish by nature Luci tends to be on the shy side. She has been known to lash out rather violently when threatened. She has a hard time trusting people, but once they gain her trust she would do anything for them. She hasn’t had much of a chance to let a personality develop other than that since she has been trapped within The High Order facility her whole life.

Appearance: Standing at about 5 feet 2 inches, Luci has soft, almost fragile features. Her long brown hair seems to have a few similarly brown feathers in it. It looks as though she intentionally added feathers to her hair however they naturally grow there. Her torso and arms are littered with various brands from her stepping out of line in her younger years. Most are indistinguishable from one another as they have all healed to some extent, but the scaring is still there. She has no newer brands most are bout 6 years old or older.

Luci has two sets of wings that protrude from her back. With the larger set only spanning about 6 feet, they are primarily white but there is a bit of brown freakling in them.

Affiliation: The High Order (temporarily)

Power: Luci’s strength, speed, and senses are only slightly higher than that of an ordinary human. Her strength lies in the ability to manipulate light. The light behaves similarly to normal light, meaning one could block her attacks with solid objects, or reflect them with mirrors.

-Invisibility: It’s more camouflage than invisibility. She can bend the light around her to make her appear to be invisible. This only works if she is moving extremely slow or if she is standing still. Swift movements will break the illusion and make her position obvious.

-Flash Bang: Capable of causing small/ mostly harmless light explosions meant to temporarily blind or stun others.

-Light weapons/illusions: She can create images made of pure light. She can choose if these shine with dim or bright light. Ex: A dimly glowing Halo above her head. She can also create small weapons with this light. Things such as swords or daggers, and though not capable of stabbing or piercing individuals they are rather hot, and capable of burning targets, as well as blinding them. She can also choose the brightness of these created weapons.

-Light Projectiles: She can create small bullet-like light orbs shot from her hand or fingers. Again not capable of piercing an individual but causing burns.

Weapon: Her created light weapons

Weaknesses: She is not capable of creating light so in instances of complete darkness she is useless. Luci also cannot take off into flight without a leap off a high place or a good running start first. Her smaller wing span makes it harder for her to take off from the ground, it also requires her to expend more energy while in flight so she prefers to use her wings to glide.

Likes: Sleep and food (hasn’t had much she likes other than those within the facility)

Dislikes: The High Order, water on her wings, not being able to eat or sleep.

Current Residence: The High Order facility (currently)

Backstory: Luci grew up only knowing the inside of a science lab in the cult-like group that “created” her. She was made by a smaller branch or The High Order as an attempt to improve upon what they had already created once before. In a way they succeeded, but in others they failed.

Luci grew up hearing about “subject one”, an individual in another facility who was supposedly stronger than her, but lacked the special abilities that she had. She was treated like something special, but also like dirt. Beaten and praised, sometimes simultaneously.

Trained to use her abilities as both support and offence she is capable of defending herself however she prefers to remain at a distance.

Other: She is unaware that she is actually half angel. As far as she is concerned she is an artificially created “Angel” created to be used as a weapon for the High Order.
