Name: Jacob Richman
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Description or Image:
Alias/Nick Name: Bob, The Jersey Devil
Background & Reason for Joining: Jacob was just like any other young rich kid who thought they were ten feet tall and bullet proof. Where actions didn't involve consequences, and the whole city was simply a playground. He and his friends would take to the streets daily to skate, or bike, or in Jacob's case, Run all over the city. There were no places safe from Jacob and his friends, and if there was a place they were not supposed to go, they found a way in. They never Stole anything, or hurt anyone, they were simply obnoxious and annoying, and didn't understand the concept of trespassing.

Then one day, a new building was constructed. A big fancy lab of some sort, and it didn't take long for the friends to break in to have a look around. They were creating weapons and things that looked super high tech, but not uniformed like it would be for a military. Jacob was trying on a nifty set of clawed gloves, and spring like boots, and turned to his friends saying, "I'm Catman" when all hell broke loose.

This place didn't play by the rules. There was no, "Freeze.", "You're Under Arrest." Nothin. Two of his friends were shot down in front of him, and none of them made it out that he knows of. Jacob made it out doing what he did best. Running and jumping, and with the gloves and boots, there was nothing to slow him down.

He had hoped to go home and report to his rich dad about what he had found, but when he got there, he found the people from the lab already there. His family, and everything he knew was dead. He quickly withdrew all the money he had access to, and left behind the name of Jacob Richman. Running to Hero City he fell into deep depression and spent most of his nights drinking and practicing his parkour throughout the city with a mask to hide his identity. It was on one of these nightly excursions that he noticed a new building being built. A new lab. Rage replaced depression, and he decided he should do something about it. He stumbled across an odd blog while trying to get a clue as to where he should even start, and figured it was as good a places as any. Champs huh?

Personality: On his good days, Bob is an overly friendly socialite, especially if he's too drunk or distracted to remember his past at the time. He truly seems like a guy with no care in the world, and will give out money and gifts to anyone he meets. He was that guy all the time once, but now, there is a seriousness, and haunting glint behind his eyes, and a bitterness towards the world under his tongue. He can still come across as cocky though.

Powers & Weaknesses:
Parkour Expert, very efficient with other X-Game equipment but specializes in the Parkour.
Jump boots: the boots read the pressure and force of the wearer, then channels extra force back down, causing a bounce effect. The more pressure applied, the more let off, while also buffering the impact from the wearer, allowing them to land on their feet without shattering their legs.
Claws: retractable claw inside gloves that are reinforced with the same insulation as the boots to accommodate impact. While considerable weapons, The Jersey Devil uses them to help him climb, and steer his running.
Mask: and old gas mask modified to have headphones, and protect his eyes and lungs from smoke.

weaknesses:
-slight obsession with revenge against the labs.
-tendency to take too big of risks.
-Still being hunted by the labs for their stolen tech.

Name: Talia Rose
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Description or Image: Asian 20-year-old woman, lithe and athletic build but not too skinny, attractive but not to a distracting degree, green, piercing eyes and long, flowing black hair

Alias/Nick Name: The Performer

Background & Reason for Joining: The Performer has traveled far and wide, searching for shows in which she could demonstrate her skills and prowess with her well-trained acrobatic movements. The whip-like ribbons just served as extra extensions of her own arms. Ever since she was a little girl, she dreamed of being able to use her dancing abilities to do more than just perform, but her parents had tried to keep her sheltered and thus (in their eyes) safe from the world's dangers. Longing for a life that truly means something and can help people, she uses her performances on each stage as a ruse so that she could scout out ways to help and she has made this no secret to her followers and supporters (both online and onstage). Thus, it was no surprise when a young man called out to her after one of her performances and told her that there has finally arrived a chance to do some good for an entire city of people. He shared with her a blog from a place called Hero City and once she reached the small apartment she had rented while performing, she sat down to read through the blog post. Once she finished, she promptly sent in her own information and reasons for being qualified for this request. 'I could finally be on a real team of superheroes,' she thought excitedly to herself, as she planned a way to keep up the ruse to her parents and friends from back home that didn't want to see any harm come to her.

Personality: On the inside is eager to please and help but gives off the appearance of being shy and reserved and uncertain at times. She does warm up to people and will become more social after a time, but always wary and alert.

Powers:
- Razor-tipped, whip-like ribbons that she has trained with for years so that they follow every subtle movement her wrists or even fingers make to direct them
- Sharp eyesight and hyper-awareness of her surroundings
- Strong even though her body type doesn't betray it
- Highly skilled in acrobatics, thus excellent dexterity

Weaknesses:
- Insecurities about herself that make her second-guess her decisions and actions
- People-pleasing and will most times go along with others' ideas even when she doesn't necessarily agree it is wisest
- Inwardly vain about her appearance

Name: Lincoln "Link" Malloy

Age: 31

Gender: Male

Description or Image: Long brunette hair, blue eyes, semi-athletic build. Link stands at about 6'1" and typically has a grungy attire.

Alias/Nick Name: The Finger

Background & Reason for Joining: Link discovered his ability on accident during a particularly memorable guitar riff with his band, Identical Snowflakes. Ever since, he has used it to enhance his rock shows during gigs and bring about righteous justice in his off hours. There is a certain thrill that comes from giving a criminal (or just a total total jerk) their comeuppance. When Link can get involved, he does and when he learned of an opportunity to put his unique skills to work on a grander scale, he leapt at it (mostly because he's hoping it will come with a regular paycheck as he is habitually 'in between jobs').

Personality: Link is every bit the rock n' roll blasting, profanity slinging, shamelessly womanizing, alcohol drinking, smoke 'em if you got 'em type of laid back dude. However, he does have a moral code and a sense of justice that he cannot ignore. Fun loving most times, but serious when he needs to be, Link can certainly be an asset when properly motivated.

Powers & Weaknesses: Link's super hero moniker comes from his very specific unique attributes. The middle fingers on each of his hands are supernaturally gifted. They can grow, stretch, regenerate and alter their density. If they are ever damaged or severed, they would heal rather quickly. Were he to will it, his middle fingers can grow and harden, becoming bludgeoning instruments similar to baseball bats. He could also stretch them into points like a pair of animated fleshy needles capable of piercing. The elasticity of the fingers has its limits, but they can be used to subdue and constrict criminals like a python would, or even act as grappling hooks to help Link traverse heights and cityscapes.

The rest of his body, however, is absolutely human and, otherwise, unremarkable. While his middle fingers can regenerate, if you were to cut off his leg, it would have the same result as anyone else whose leg got cut off. If you shot him, he'd be in grave danger. He has every weakness a common human has.
