"My friends call me Chuck!"
Name:
Chuck Whippoorwill
Alias:
Glutton
Alignment:
Uh, hero. Yeah, definitely a hero. Right?
Powers/Abilities:
The Hunger: Chuck possesses meaningfully enhanced speed and strength over that of the average human, but his biggest asset is his enlarged maw of sharpened teeth. So far, there’s nothing they can’t bite through with a little bit of effort. Flesh, steel, even souls themselves.
Resilience and Regeneration: Chuck has a sturdy, pain-tolerant body that goes a bit beyond the typical enhanced resistance that so many metahumans seem to have. Most significant is his healing factor, which is augmented by the spilling of blood or consumption of souls.
Demonic Casting: Chuck isn’t very good at this, but when he absorbed the powers of a demon, he also absorbed its accumulated knowledge. He can sense mystical energies, and with enough time and focus, occasionally pull off magical rituals. The only “spell” he can reliably perform is teleportation. Distance to be traveled and the amount of passengers can modify the spell from a rapid blip several feet forward to a ten or more minute long process to invoke a strong enough portal to carry himself and others many miles away. Honestly the whole thing is a crapshoot. Especially if he doesn’t know exactly where he’s going.
Weaknesses:
I Can Take It!: Chuck is strong and a good fighter. Chuck is also an idiot. He is reckless and prone to pushing his limits further than he should. In winning a battle he often risks setting himself up for future failure, with no lessons learned. Why play it safe when his regeneration is “theoretically” limitless?
Rumbling Stomach: Chuck needs to eat. A lot. His healing factor is directly proportional to how well fed he is, whether that be blood, souls, or cheese burgers. If in a position to starve, he might rather try to eat himself or his allies as the latent instincts of the demon take control.
Personality:
Chuck’s mind is splintered. Impulsive and excitable, his transformation gave him clarity in only a single aspect of his life: it is better to define yourself in opposition to villains than in alliance with them. This is the only creed Chuck knows how to follow. All understanding of proportionality that he might have is skewed by an alien sense of right and wrong, a parting gift from the demonic intelligence that he subsumed into his own being. Gangsters and wannabe muggers might have their souls sucked and their flesh devoured, while something as benign as jaywalking is met with bullying and mental torture until the “criminal” is in hysterics.
And Chuck sees nothing wrong with this. He’s just having fun, after all. And he’s a hero! Heroes always do the right thing, ergo so does Chuck. It’s really very simple.
Witty sarcasm aside, there is more than mania and madness to the man behind the demon. He craves friendship and connection, even if he’s not very good at getting those things, and he’s fiercely protective of children, even if he’s terrifying to most of them. The desire to be good… to be better than he was in a previous life, is very real.
Background:
To this day Chuck doesn’t know the details of what demon god he ate or whether that’s going to be a problem for him in the future. His life wasn’t too pleasant leading up to that point, all things considered.
Well, you know how it goes by now. Junkie parents. Bouncing around the foster system. Runaway teen joins a gang. Pipeline to a life of crime. Same sob story told a thousand different times by a thousand different saps. Skip forward and Chuck is an enforcer for a big time crime boss in Ironclad. Nasty guy by the name of Sylvester Koth, deals in drugs and sometimes people too. Well, Mr. Koth ends up not too happy with Chuck on account of his ass getting beat by some masked vigilante and the subsequent seizure of the stash Chuck was guarding by the police. Honestly getting knocked around by wannabe heroes is part of the job as far as Chuck was concerned. An occupational hazard, if you will.
So when Mr. Koth sold him to some weird cult that wanted to use him as the vessel for a demonic god, it seemed like an overreaction. While completely in character for a human trafficker to not value his own workforce, it still hurt his feelings.
Right. Well, there’s not a simple way to explain how this next part went down. A lot of weird chanting and dark oaths and mystical nonsense happened as a tear in reality formed over Chuck’s restrained form. Something… dark seeped out of the portal and into Chuck. His body was changing, his mind was splintering, and this piece of crap was trying to take away everything that he was. Sure, he wasn’t much. A screw-up. A criminal. A loser with a pit in his chest where most people had a heart.
But did it always have to be that way? Was this the story he had written for himself? Five panels of pain and panic on page one of a comic book before the real villain is introduced with a full page splash art?
No.
So as the demon ate him piece by piece, Chuck opened his metaphysical jaws even wider and… ate it instead. One bite. Chew. Swallow.
He doesn’t remember much of that night. Just flashes of… euphoria. And maniacal rage. Flickering images of terrified faces, the taste of copper on his tongue, the sounds of bones crunching. Collapsing in a pool of blood that wasn’t his own. When he awoke… he was changed. And all the cultists were dead.
And that’s the story of how Chuck gained the powers of a demon god by simply being hungrier than it. His new lease on life led him to destroy the crime ring that he once worked for, and personally deliver the severed head of Sylvester Koth to the Ironclad Police Department in a ribbon wrapped box.
Since then, the name Glutton has been cause for concern among villains and heroes alike. For the former, they are his favorite meal, after all. As for the latter group, it’s true to say that working with Glutton is usually safer than ignoring him or working against him. But that means teaming up, and, well, he’s kind of annoying.
Yet here he is! Ready to save the world and see his name in lights! Justice is here... and its hungry. Let's fucking go.

Yet here he is! Ready to save the world and see his name in lights! Justice is here... and its hungry. Let's fucking go.
Appearance:
Chuck is six solid feet of muscle, teeth, and hunger. His oversized red eyes give away from the drop that something extranormal is going on with him, if the nearly nonexistent nose, permanently grinning toothy maw, and mottled black and brown skin don't make it obvious first.
He wears a tattered, slightly patchwork yellow coat lined with fur that might have been luxurious once. The only other item of note is the blue scarf around his neck.
Affiliations:
Literally anyone that would ask. He’s not desperate, per se. But, you know. Maybe a little desperate.
Motivations:
Ambition, maybe? He wants to be more than a villain’s goon. Then again… hunger and entertainment are also strong contenders for why he does what he does. Plus being a superhero, which he definitely is, is fun!
Relationships:
He had a fiancé a million years ago, a nice lady named Tracey. The first thing he did after escaping the cult was break things off with her. It seemed like the right thing to do.
Base of Operations:
A cheap motel room in small town America ran by a guy named Barry that’s very good at not asking questions.
Signature Gear:
Mystical spell books that he swears he’ll get around to studying one day, a stash of plasma weaponry he confiscated off of a very dead supervillain formerly known as Element Four, and his pair of cestus, which don’t do much for his already powerful punches but definitely look cool.
Public Perception:
Glutton is frighteningly effective when he’s able to sink his teeth into something, and has no qualms going after those corrupt business types that get accused of obvious crimes but never wind up officially convicted. He can be something of a folk hero among those that don’t deride his particular brand of justice, but is seen by most as a public nuisance. Perhaps the average citizen would praise him more if he wasn’t so likely to drag you out of your car and beat the shit out of you for driving with a busted taillight. That sort of thing has only happened once or twice but hey word gets around.
Combat Style:
Fast, aggressive and chaotic, Glutton’s combat style is all about dealing out as much punishment as possible while soaking up damage done to him in kind. In theory, he has his magic for situations that he can’t just punch his way out of, but in practice the most versatile tool in his kit is sorely underused.
Here he is! Please let me know if there's anything I can tweak or improve upon. I love super hero comics/movies/shows etc. but this is the first super-power RP I've actually joined before, so maybe I'm not getting something quite right

  ____________________________________________________ C H A R A C T E R I N F O R M A T I O N Name Dr. Fae Evangeline Valentine Aliases Bloodlust | Dr.Valentine Alignment: Villain Age: 29 years Old Height 5'9 ft Personality: Fae's: Dr.Valentine on paper was made for her very public facing job. On the surface, her impossibly nice and kind demeanor was incredibly alluring. She lived true to the aura she gave off when she gave presentations at health science conferences, one who was truly magnanimous. Of course one would think that Dr.Valentine's social life was busy, but instead would come to find that she was incredibly reclusive. Only going to parties or gatherings if deemed absolutely necessary, since the woman had been in the healthcare industry, she had always been impossible to meet, for business or private reasons. It only made the desire for her attention worse as she's gotten older, and finds it harder and harder every year to hold Bloodlust at bay. She's a kind and caring person, but it feels as though you're only seeing and interacting with her through a frosted mirror almost. Her employee's at her hospital and colleagues alike only have good things to say about her, even if only about her work and never anything personal. Bloodlust's: You know that feeling when you smoke a cigarette under an awning while it rains, watching the rain fall peacefully? Fae happens to encapsulate the exact opposite feelings, more like smoking cigarette and trying to ash your cigarette, only to catch your grass on fire, and then your home...and then yourself. Bloodlust is a personification of all the awful and vile things Fae thinks and is deep in her core. She is anything but a peaceful and kind soul, coming into peoples lives like bullet to the temple, typically fast and exceptionally bloody. Fae keeps a leash on Bloodlust, but because of the way her power works, that leash would look like a thin thread, ready to break at a moments notice if it appeared in a physical manifestation. She is living this life with the only intention of furthering her personal motivations and goals. She WILL say ANYTHING to get what she needs or wants, and she'll just as easily save you one time, as siphon you of your blood the next. She hasn't met anyone capable of taming her, nor did she think she ever would. But things are okay like this, who needs friends, when you can just make them do what you want, right? Motivations: Fae's: -Trying to find the cure for Leukemia and other blood related cancers. -Become the foremost authority in Hematology. -Run her R&D Company the best way she can. -Stop Bloodlust from taking control of her body. Bloodlust's: -Infect the whole of Nova city -Unquenchable thirst for blood of any kind, but humans satiate her the most -Mess with Fae's life as much as she can -One day gain complete control of their body Affiliations: None as of right now Base of Operations: Valentine Cancer Treatment and Research Center (V.C.T.R.C is plastered in a vertical line going down the side of the building), as it says in its name, VCTRC is a large treatment and research facility that Fae started with her inheritance and the help of a couple of charitable celebrities. While the Center treats all kinds of cancer's, they've grown notoriety in the last five years for its groundbreaking research in Leukemia and potential cures. They are receiving patients all over the world and Fae is typically spending most of her time here, as her apartment is located below the huge hospital. She also has a secret lab hidden in her apartment that lets out into the sewer and metro tunnel system beneath Nova City. Public Perception: Dr.Valentine is known to Nova city as the Awe inspiring doctor, on the verge of finding groundbreaking treatments and possibly even a cure for Blood Cancers. She's been interviewed by local and national news, and has made speeches at several of the biggest health science conferences passing through Nova City. Needlessly to say, she's perceived well by the public and it wouldn’t be so far fetched that other heroes and villains have seen her public facing persona on TV or in newspapers. Bloodlust however has begun stirring a new urban legend of a white haired witch that lurks in the underground passageways and dark alleys around Nova city. She's been encountered both at night and during the day, and those who have lived have said conflicting reports on her actions. Sometimes she simply asks for a favor, some have even been saved by her, but most recall her seeming to be going insane, telling them to ran as fast as they can while "she" holds "her" back. Bodies are turning up, petrified, as if all their blood taken from them and there have been reports of animals going missing more and more each month. No one has made the connection between all of it yet, but time is ticking for Nova City to become wholly aware of the monster living amongst them. P O W E R I N F O R M A T I O N Power/Abilities: Hemókinesis - Fae is able to freely control her own, Synthetic or Harvested blood, capable of wielding it in anyway she deems fit. Imagination is the limit for the capabilities of her control, ranging from creating pre-gunpowder era weapons such as swords and spears, she send it at her opponents in a variety of shapes, create solid shields, or even create orbs of floating blood to drown her target in. As long as she can gain access to blood, of her own or another's, she can sustain her control. She can harden blood to the same durability as reinforced steel. Vampyric Draining - Fae has the ability to absorb blood from a target, as long as her skin is touching theirs. It can be by a hand, a kiss, a bite to the neck. The more vitality one has, the weaker this effects drain on the target is. As she absorbs a target, they begin to wither and age, the effects happening in less then ten seconds for a non superpowered individual. Weight and Height also play a factor to the speed of the drain. Once she's drained a target full, she's able to add it to the blood halo that sits above her head as stockpile. She also is able to rapid heal, everything but direct headshots and strikes to the heart. She can also decide to absorb the blood directly for a speed boost and added durability, instead of stockpiling. Moonlight Madness - Like it says, at night, she has increased senses akin to that of an animal bred for hunting, for the trade of the stability of her mental state. She tries to lock herself away at night, as the more people she comes into contact with, the more likely the mental bind on Bloodlust is lifted. Gene V - If she can get her blood into a target, depending on their level of mental fortitude and affection for Fae, she will be able to control the target for varying amount of time. For non super powered individuals, she currently can keep them for up to a year, before having to inject them with her blood again. She has yet to capture a superpowered individual, so she is unsure how long it would last, even if she did get someone under the "spell". She is able to control their movements by blood in their body, or influence their choices and decisions by blood in the brain. She also can heal toxic blood with her own blood, it acting as a natural anti-body like medicine against Blood borne illness and genetic disease. Or inversely, she can toxify her own blood to cause blood poisoning on the target, ranging from sickness, to death if given enough of her blood. In the case of an especially willing brain, she can even turn them into a Vampyr, wholly devoted to her. A target that has undergone becoming a Vampyr, will become one in the literal sense unlike Fae, unable to walk amongst sunlight. Sunlight will reduce them to ash under a couple of minutes, their bodies not capable of absorbing UV rays. They will lose their ability to eat normal food, gaining the trademark hankering for blood. In return, they gain tremendous speed and strength, and if given enough of Fae's blood, her ability to control blood in similar ways. She has only made one Vampyr, and they are no longer living. Bloodlust cannot create one without Fae's consent, but she's slowly wittingly away at Fae's thin veil of control. Weaknesses: - Fire, Ice, and Water all in a multitude of ways are hard counters for Fae and Bloodlust without a source to replenish blood. - She can only hold about ten adult men's worth of blood in her Halo that holds her stockpile. - She will begin to function suboptimal the more she uses her own blood if pushed without a stockpile and nothing to replenish. - In order to absorb blood and in turn heal rapidly, is by skin to skin contact, can be blocked by clothing and armor. - She is a fleshy without absorbed reinforcement, so head wounds and huge damage will incapacitate her. - Fae's power manifest in the form of a second personality threatening to take complete control of her body. When Fae uses her powers, they typically are half as effective, as they are when Bloodlust is in control. Bloodlusts specific trigger relates around heartrate. Reaching 150 beats per second will begin to break the mental prison that contains Bloodlust. At 180 beats per second, Fae will begin to undergo her change into Bloodlust, and at 200 the transformation is final until Bloodlust absorbs from three bodies. Before 200 Beats per second, if Fae is able to bring her heart beat down, she'll be able to stop the transformation from taking place, however additional stimuli will make the transformation trigger cut by half each time, until she cant stop Bloodlust from coming. The cooldown for this is typically an hour before her heart rate trigger resets to 150,180,200. Bloodlust is not in complete control, Fae capable of breaking Bloodlusts control for a minute in times of great effort, otherwise she is like a passenger in her own body until the kill count is reached. Once Bloodlust has absorbed three bodies worth, she no longer able to "break" out of Fae's control, unless Fae willing gives it to her, to which she has a three kill limit again. Combat Style: Fae tends to fight at more of a ranged distance, with minimal chances for close combat. She will try her hardest to fight at medium to long range, anything to keep her heart rate down. She hasn't fought much in her base form, typically most fights end up with Bloodlust taking control. Bloodlust fights like a wild hound, okay with taking damage and fighting up close, all for the sake of taking your blood. She fights dirty, with the intention of making sure she'll get a reward for her efforts. E X T R A Anything else? - Theme Song | H i s t o r y Fae's life was as storybook as it could get for any persons childhood, being born to two successful doctors in Nova City. She was given everything, never needing or wanting for anything, except the tried and true cliché of her parents attention. Every year after the age of five containing the strange feelings of loneliness in her memory. Because of this, Fae was often left to read her parents study, the rest of the home unappealing to the little girl. She realized any time she tried to say one of big words from one of the many health science texts her parents stocked most of the shelves with, her parents would stop to praise her and tell her what they meant. Her destiny surely being written before her birth by her parents, Fae never questioned if she was truly interested in being a doctor. And with the birth of her sister when Fae turned four, it surely would never be a question in Fae's mind. It seemed her parents opted into a different approach to parenthood with her baby sister, Fae noticing, even at her young age, how much attention they seem to give her. When school started, it seem to become even worse, as Fae would come home to both her parents having taken the day off to spend with a newborn not even capable of conversation yet. But it didn't create a monster like how it should, it created a crafty and smart child, who realized what she needed to do to earn any praise from her parents. She wouldn't hate her sister, but instead use her sister as a springboard for the attention she craved, by being her baby sisters best friend. The gap between her and her sister only seemed to widen when the baby girl started to speak and even was old enough to start going to school. Fae being four years older, was constantly used as a comparison for where her sister should be well past. No matter how much she tried, how many straight A's she got, it would never compare to her little sister, despite her sister getting the occasional B's. As if the universe wanted to twist the knife into a child already so silently defeated, her sister than became ill with Leukemia when Fae was 14, her sister 10. Fae never would have imagined how much her life would change, despite her not being the one with the diagnosis. Her parents began to become cruel to Fae, scolding her for tiny mistakes, no matter accidental or not. It became an overbearing pressure, an unspoken truth that her parents all but said. They wished she had been the one to get cancer, of course never saying something to cruel to her, but implied in the statements and the way they treated her for the two years until her sixteenth birthday. Her parents made a big deal about all the things they needed to do for her little sister that day. That they wouldn't have time to set a party or do something elaborate. In fact, they made Fae feel guilty about even wanting to have a party with some of her friends she had managed to find at the most prestigious STEM Highschool in Nova City. Nevermind the millions of dollars they had stashed away, or the ability to hire someone to do the things they needed done with the snap of a finger. The Gaul Fae had for insinuating that sixteen was a big birthday for her, when they weren't sure her sister was even going to make it to that age. They had left Fae at the house, saying she was free to spend her birthday alone if she was going to be so selfish. Fae had never, and would never cry as much as she did that day in her room after her parents left with her sister. In her first and final act of rebellion, she decided defiantly that she was going to do something for herself, since trying to be her parents perfect doll seemed to make things worse. She invited her friends, who invited their friends and so on and so forth to come to her home and have a party. They would probably be home late anyways, though not that Fae cared if they showed up. It's not like not doing anything would have made them happy. Except Fae would be unable to hear the many many phone calls ringing into the night as her party raged on. It wasn't until her Father burst into the home, she had never seen her parents display rage, angry and disappointed? Sure, but never...this. It seemed while Fae had been having her party, her little sister had broken into a sweat, that wouldn't stop and eventually escalated to them needing to bring her to the hospital. Her little sister had been asking over and over for her, working herself up despite the doctors pleading with her to calm down. She fell into a fever induced coma because she wouldn't try to sleep without Fae there. They had been calling every ten minutes for whole day, but the ringer had been turned off on the house phones so they wouldn't wake up her little sister when she was resting. The beating the man put on the girl, strategic so that when they made it to the hospital, he wouldn't immediately be arrested. Fae screamed her apologies out with each belt lash against her back and legs to no avail. Her father then dragged her to the car to go to the hospital, the entire ride down to the city, he'd turn to yell at her. It all happened so fast when Fae manifested her powers in that car on her sixteenth birthday. Her heart rate wouldn't stop rising. Holding her hand to her chest as her father got more angry. She tried to apologize, while also trying to tell her father she felt something wrong, which only furthered to piss off the man even more. But he wasn't seeing what she was feeling internally. She was absolutely boiling on the inside, her blood seeming to want to rip free from her skin. Her heart rate had reached a crescendo and she began groan in pain, making her father reach back to smack her for faking being in pain to get out of being in trouble. Almost like a reflex, her power lashed out, Bloodlust lashed out. Blood that had fallen from Fae biting her lip shot into her fathers neck and out the front windshield like bullets. Her father quickly lost control of the car, as he went stop himself from bleeding and passing out. Veering off the road, they collided with a tree knocking Fae out, or so she thought. When she came too, she was two hundred yards from the crash into the woods, standing, where a male hunter laid in a withered husk in clothes at her feet. Falling back in horror, she ran back to the car, only to find her father horrifyingly contorted into an accordioned front end of the car. Throwing up in front of her, she fell to her knees in disbelief at what she caused, until she realized she was in perfect condition. The horror and dread setting in to why that body might have been at her feet and why she was standing outside the car fine, were quickly dashed by the sounds of sirens approaching from above on the road they had just been on. Fae panicking, got back into the car and proceeded to act passed out, unaware of the fact that she was able to control her blood and by cause her heart rate. All of this culminated in a year long investigation concluding her fathers death being labeled an accident on her part. This was a terrible and horrific moment of guilt that set Fae down the path she has long been on for the better part of thirteen years of her life. She spent the first four years figuring out how to control her powers and how they worked, all while becoming a young rising star in the field of Hematology and Oncology. With her power, she was able to begin healing her little sister, until Bloodlust revealed to Fae in the most horrific way that she could create Vampyr, turning her loving and kind little sister, into bloodthirsty crazed killer. She tried everything she could to turn her back, but without her little sisters consent, she was forced to watch as her little sister burst into ashes in her hands. The mysterious disappearance of her little sister would kill her mother from grief, unable to live any further in the mortal realm without her favorite people. In some type of roundabout way, her parents had left all of their wealth, solely too Fae, a sick sort of payment for the 25 years of torment they inflicted on Fae. None the less, Fae has dedicated her life to trying cure the same disease that brought her little sister to destruction. Using her parents inheritance, she was able to start an R&D company, and after four years of running it, she and her team are considered one of the foremost minds in Hematology and it's applications to treating Oncology. |

Another antihero. Not the royal we.
Name: Victoria/Adrian Steele
Alias: Rift
Alignment: Antihero (?)
Powers/Abilities: Mind/Matter
Victoria possesses psionic abilities; in other words, she is a psychic. While her powers are mainly psychokinetic in effect, she is also a telepath, and is capable of utilising an ability known as “shifting”; which broadly speaking is the ability to swap the location of chosen targets within a certain range.
On Adrian’s side of the equation, he can alter the shape and composition of his body at will. His power extends further than just biological changes, as he is fully capable of altering his body into inorganic materials if he so wishes, allowing him to form weapons or other such objects out of his body. It also provides him with significantly increased physical and regenerative abilities. On a deeper level, he is capable of rendering himself immune/highly resistant to hazardous substances and pathogens by making changes to his inner biology.
Weaknesses:
The same incident that led to their conjoined existences also essentially neutered their respective abilities to a degree. Due to existing within the same “space”, Adrian and Victoria cannot simultaneously be present at any one moment.
Victoria’s weaknesses are more on her physical side. While her psionic abilities are quite potent, her body is rather more frail in comparison. Average at best by just about every physical metric, she relies entirely on her powers in battle, which means she is all but helpless if they ever malfunction. Furthermore, since her powers are mental-based, disrupting her focus would render her incapable of bringing them fully to bear.
Adrian can only change certain sections of his body into inorganic materials at a time, i.e., he cannot make his skin, bones, and muscles into “steel” at once. In addition, despite his body’s high fortitude and adaptability, he is still vulnerable to extreme temperatures to significant degrees depending on his current composition.
Personality:
The pair cut quite the contrasting figures.
Victoria is an upbeat and cheerful person, though her heart remains heavy from her tortured past. Soft-spoken and friendly despite her looks, she prefers to see the good in people and is an optimist at heart. While she can be rather socially inept at times, she is more than willing to go out of her way to understand people even if the sentiment isn’t reciprocated. Adrian is much less energetic and more reserved than friendly, though he does have a dry sense of humour that he displays once in a while. His social skills are not much better than his counterpart, though he is more aware of it and acts accordingly.
While they may have disagreements on what methods to use, at the end of the day, they both share the same thoughts and goals about the world. The good, the bad, and the weird included.
Background:
The former individuals who would come to be known as Rift came from contradictory beginnings.
The girl who would eventually come to call herself Victoria was a chained soul for as long as she could remember. Her powers manifested essentially the moment she was born, and the resulting reactions from her parents were less-than-stellar. Distorted preconceived notions clouded their minds and fueled their already fervent bias. Through no fault or act of her own, her fate was already set. Instead of love and adoration, her birth was met with nothing but fear and loathing. So when an offer was made to take her off their hands for a considerable sum, they didn’t hesitate, didn’t ask questions. And there began the prologue to a tragedy. For all involved.
Despite its name, Lux Labs was not quite as accomplished nor as well-known as the Ascension Labs of Auroran Spire. That image, however, worked well in their favour, allowing them to do as they pleased without public scrutiny. It was also the only place that, for much of her life, Victoria could call home, even in the loosest sense of the word. And yet, despite her acceptance of that status quo, she was under no delusions that, for all the supposed freedom she had, she was anything but a prisoner. After all, what unchained person had to follow the same rules as she did? What unchained person was trapped inside a box where no light could ever reach?
Adrian Steele was an unfortunate man. Unlike his partner, he was not born with powers, though that fact did not make his life any easier. At a young age, orphaned and alone, he fell in with the wrong crowd, doing whatever he wanted and making himself a problem for everyone around him. It didn’t take long for that lifestyle to come to an end, and yet, once again he found himself involved with a group of questionable individuals; soldiers of fortune. They were the type to not ask questions as long as he could pull his weight, so pull his weight he did.
As fate would have it, their two paths crossed in a maelstrom of gunfire and death.
In their final moments, they reached out to each other, and their powers responded.
And thus, a Rift was made.
Appearance:
Victoria is a slender, silver-haired young woman of below-average height, though her presence is much larger. She dresses like a stereotypical rebellious teenager, with all-black clothing and contrasting accessories. Her eyes constantly emit a soft, eerie purple glow mostly visible in the dark.
Standing over six feet tall and bearing a lean, solidly built physique from years of intense physical activity, Adrian cuts quite an imposing figure when he wants to. His slightly dishevelled dark hair falls to his shoulders with a series of bangs framing his features. His golden, feline irises give off a sense of something unnatural lurking beneath, though they are usually hidden beneath a pair of sunglasses.
Affiliations: Themselves.
Motivations: Making the world a better place one step at a time, by dealing with those who make it worse. Mileage may vary.
Relationships: The only lasting, positive relationship they have ever had is with each other. That hasn’t changed.
Base of Operations: Rift doesn’t tend to stay in one place for very long.
Signature Gear: Having lived the majority of his life without powers of any kind, Adrian still carries around weaponry from his days as a mercenary. Namely, a pair of single-edged swords, twin pistols and various utility items. While his combat armour has become far less vital than it used to be, it nonetheless works to aid him in their escapades.
Public Perception: Rift is a known element if a somewhat mysterious one. Criminals fear them and heroes are fairly wary of them.
Combat Style: Strike first, strike hard, no mercy. Adrian is well-versed in both close and ranged combat. His power lends itself well to causing massive damage at close to mid-range. Victoria has no experience in hand-to-hand combat and she knows that quite well, preferring to stay at range to neutralise her opponents.
Name: Victoria/Adrian Steele
Alias: Rift
Alignment: Antihero (?)
Powers/Abilities: Mind/Matter
Victoria possesses psionic abilities; in other words, she is a psychic. While her powers are mainly psychokinetic in effect, she is also a telepath, and is capable of utilising an ability known as “shifting”; which broadly speaking is the ability to swap the location of chosen targets within a certain range.
On Adrian’s side of the equation, he can alter the shape and composition of his body at will. His power extends further than just biological changes, as he is fully capable of altering his body into inorganic materials if he so wishes, allowing him to form weapons or other such objects out of his body. It also provides him with significantly increased physical and regenerative abilities. On a deeper level, he is capable of rendering himself immune/highly resistant to hazardous substances and pathogens by making changes to his inner biology.
Weaknesses:
The same incident that led to their conjoined existences also essentially neutered their respective abilities to a degree. Due to existing within the same “space”, Adrian and Victoria cannot simultaneously be present at any one moment.
Victoria’s weaknesses are more on her physical side. While her psionic abilities are quite potent, her body is rather more frail in comparison. Average at best by just about every physical metric, she relies entirely on her powers in battle, which means she is all but helpless if they ever malfunction. Furthermore, since her powers are mental-based, disrupting her focus would render her incapable of bringing them fully to bear.
Adrian can only change certain sections of his body into inorganic materials at a time, i.e., he cannot make his skin, bones, and muscles into “steel” at once. In addition, despite his body’s high fortitude and adaptability, he is still vulnerable to extreme temperatures to significant degrees depending on his current composition.
Personality:
The pair cut quite the contrasting figures.
Victoria is an upbeat and cheerful person, though her heart remains heavy from her tortured past. Soft-spoken and friendly despite her looks, she prefers to see the good in people and is an optimist at heart. While she can be rather socially inept at times, she is more than willing to go out of her way to understand people even if the sentiment isn’t reciprocated. Adrian is much less energetic and more reserved than friendly, though he does have a dry sense of humour that he displays once in a while. His social skills are not much better than his counterpart, though he is more aware of it and acts accordingly.
While they may have disagreements on what methods to use, at the end of the day, they both share the same thoughts and goals about the world. The good, the bad, and the weird included.
Background:
The former individuals who would come to be known as Rift came from contradictory beginnings.
The girl who would eventually come to call herself Victoria was a chained soul for as long as she could remember. Her powers manifested essentially the moment she was born, and the resulting reactions from her parents were less-than-stellar. Distorted preconceived notions clouded their minds and fueled their already fervent bias. Through no fault or act of her own, her fate was already set. Instead of love and adoration, her birth was met with nothing but fear and loathing. So when an offer was made to take her off their hands for a considerable sum, they didn’t hesitate, didn’t ask questions. And there began the prologue to a tragedy. For all involved.

Hey y'all! I'm PumpkinLord's wife, and I'm posting a character sheet for my hero!
Character Sheet: Minda Rain (Chemical Girl)
Basic Information
• Name: Minda Rain
• Hero Name: Chemical Girl
• Age: 23
• Gender: Female
• Alignment: Neutral Good
• Occupation: Freelance Private Eye / Part-Time Hero
• Appearance: Sleek black and purple costume with glowing neon accents, symbolized by a beaker emblem on her chest. Wears a mask to conceal her identity. Long black hair flows behind her when she’s in action.
________________________________________
Backstory
• Origin:
Minda was experimented on as a baby by the villain Mad Merman, who infused her body with unstable chemicals, granting her supernatural abilities. During a rescue operation, a team of heroes—including the brilliant private investigator and tactician Puzzle Box—saved her.
• Adoption:
Puzzle Box decided to retire from hero work and adopt her as his daughter. He trained her to hone her powers, shared his investigative skills, and instilled a strong sense of justice and responsibility.
• Motivation:
Minda fights to protect the vulnerable, uncover the truth, and continue her father’s heroic legacy. She feels a personal drive to stop villains like Mad Merman and ensure no one endures what she went through.
________________________________________
Abilities & Powers
1. Insubstantiality (Phasing):
o Can make her body partially or fully intangible, allowing her to pass through solid objects like walls and barriers. She can extend this ability to touch objects or individuals, rendering them intangible temporarily.
o Limitations: Requires concentration to phase others; prolonged phasing may exhaust her.
2. Flight:
o Can float and fly at moderate speeds with great control, making her highly maneuverable in combat or during rescues.
3. Energy Aura:
o Emits a faint chemical energy field around her body, glowing softly. She can amplify this aura for intimidation, distraction, or defensive purposes.
4. Energy Burst:
o Releases a powerful, localized force blast, pushing or pulling objects and opponents away. Effective in clearing areas or creating openings in combat.
o Limitations: Drains stamina, with a cooldown before it can be used again.
5. Enhanced Senses:
o Her chemical-altered physiology heightens her sight, hearing, smell, and reflexes.

@Rhona W Accepted! Finished reading your CS at the burger joint with my kids haha! Neat
Just be sure to update your character art if need be, I remember you said you where going to add/edit the armor art. 🙂
Thank you, glad you liked it.
I'll post it across to the OOC. I'll add the armour art as soon as I've finished it - have got the inks done, just needs colour.
Held off on finishing it a bit as I wanted to wait until I was approved.
