Name:
Ivan Barrett

Alias:
Vanguard

Age:
33

Alignment:
Hero

Powers/Abilities:
Diamond Body
Ivan can transform and cover any part of himself and anything he touches to take on the properties of a seemingly unbreakable crystalline material. The unique crystalline structure renders it near-immutable by any known forces, both chemical and physical. His body is still flexible like normal while crystalline, allowing for his full range of movement. Even other living creatures can be transmuted into crystal statues, rendering them incapable of movement.

Increased physical capabilities
Increased strength and durability. Even a faster regeneration speed (not a true healing factor, but he'll be up and back in action quicker than most people.)

Combat training
Ivan has learned a few martial arts, particularly in hand-to-hand combat, as well as firearms training.

Weaknesses:
-Outside of his crystalline form, he is not nearly as strong or durable, though is still strong enough to handle any normal human.
-While in crystalline form, his sense of touch dulls, though he can still feel pain if dealt a significant enough blow.
-Attempting to transform and maintain the crystalline property on things other than himself drains him of his stamina. And the larger the target, the faster the drain. This is especially taxing on his body when using it on other living creatures, especially if they resist it. Furthermore, on living creatures, this ability requires continuous direct touch, making even a small amount of distance render it unusable.
-While he is far stronger than any normal human, his specialty is his durability. He can still be outclassed in pure strength, which he uses martial arts in an attempt to make up for.
-Should he tire himself out, he will be unable to maintain his transformation.

Personality:
Ivan is very much a "no-nonsense" kind of person. He is very down to earth in his approach to any situation, and doesn't tolerate breaking the rules for any reason. That being said, he is not above bending said rules if it means helping others during a time of need. If anything, he is usually first to volunteer his aid, and is always in in the lead when a confrontation arises. He also won't hesitate to throw himself in front of another in an effort to protect them.

Background:
Ivan grew up in a normal middle-class household. He developed his strong sense of justice from his parents who taught him to not look away from trouble and take the necessary steps to solve it. At first, he only tried to report these incidents to the proper authorities, but they often led to nothing being resolved. This made Ivan take matters into his own hands, often getting himself into trouble whenever he engaged in fights and whatnot. In one incident, there was a superpowered child bullying another normal person with his abilities, and Ivan was there to defend the victim. This was also when Ivan's own abilities emerged, and his newfound powers allowed him to triumph over the other. Still, they both got in trouble for disrupting the peace and creating chaos that even the teachers couldn't handle. Fortunately, his parents trusted him and took his side, though they did also emphasize the importance of having the wisdom to know how and when to wield such power. This made him resolve to become a cop, intent on enforcing the law.

His excellent physical abilities and unique ability made him a shoo-in to enter the force, and he was eager to enforce justice. As time passed, though, he was often called to handle superpowered cases, which meant he saw sights and fought individuals that were not for the faint of heart. His heart hardened at the thought of people using their abilities for such atrocities, and he did his best in every confrontation he found himself in. As time passed, he was eventually promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. He continues serving in the force to this day.

Affiliations:
Nova City Police Department (N.C.P.D)

Motivations:
-Protecting others.

Relationships:
-N/A

Base of Operations:
Nova City Police Department (N.A.P.D)
Home in Nova City

Signature Gear:
-Custom-made plated suit worn underneath normal clothing, designed to be extra durable.
-Riot shield (has a slit near the top to allow for vision). Carried solely to protect those behind him.

Public Perception:
At first impression, Ivan is rather curt and serious. He answers with short replies, and most only see the glare on his face. However, he is a well-loved and respected officer in the force due to his tendency to aid the other employees in the police department.

Combat Style:
Ivan will often be the first to take the initiative, aiming to subdue whoever is causing trouble by rushing in, relying on his durability to shrug off anything thrown at him, and beating them down in close quarters. He is also aware of his weaknesses as a close-range fighter and will do whatever he can to mitigate them (e.g. relying on his firearms, throwing whatever is on hand, etc.)

Name:
Madison Weaver

Alias:
Wireframe

Alignment:
Hero

Powers/Abilities:
Madison has the ability to turn any part of her body into steel wire, which she can fully control and move. It has all the properties of steel wire. Durability, conductivity, etc. She can 'reel in' and 'unreel' her body into the wire, allowing her to 'stretch' and propell herself.

Weaknesses:
Magnetism and electricity are two particularly big drawbacks of being made of steel wire. The wire, though cannot be easily cut without specialist tools(or supernatural strength), still retains similar pleasure and pain responses to particularly tough human skin.

Personality:
Madison has been discouraged from shedding the kayfabe of the reliable, smiling Hero, and it has become second nature to the point that it's more a habit than a mask. She is cheerful, kind, understanding and encouraging, though still occasionally naive from her lack of meaningful social interactions on an personal level. Some people have called her fake but if the way she acts is 'fake', then she's forgotten how to act 'real' a long time ago.

She doesn't find it hard to balance the need for heroics with the demands and requests of her employers. It's better to ask forgiveness than permission and she's never afraid to bite back during a scolding with "It'd hurt the brand far more if people thought I was prioritising what you guys want over being a Hero."

Background:
Madison can't remember not having the ability to turn her body into steel wire, but her parents insist she manifested the ability when she was five years old. She grew up loved and spoiled, with high expectations. Even as a child, she was being trained and molded into a Superhero. She was afforded the best education and training money could by. The standards and ideals Luxon wanted from her, as the sponsored Hero of their company, were relentlessly drilled into her. To balance her harsh and spartan training, she was showered with lavish gifts and her every whim was catered to. The carrot and the stick, taken to the extreme.

By the time she became a teenager, she expressed a wish to attend a real high school and make friends her own age, so was enrolled in a prestigious school for the upper class. While attending, she got her motorbike liscence (mainly so she could actually drive the top-of-the-line Lexon motorbike she was difted the previous year) Once she graduated, she was finally granted permission to make her debut and begin her hero work.

All the training in the world couldn't have prepared her for the real thing. Her firstyear was rough. A naive, wet-behind-the-ears eighteenyear old princess trying to help the common man and fight crime went about as well as could reasonably be expected. It was the first time she ever saw her parents visibly disappointed. It lit a fire in her, and she gradually began to drift away from her parents as she became obsessed with becoming a better and more capable Hero. She was no longer just doing it for them, or the company,but for herself.

She is now 23, several years into her career and has established herself much more firmly as the Hero she wants to be, though she still has a long way to go.

Appearance:
Madison always looks pristine in public. Nary a hair is ever out of place. She never looks scruffy or messy. Her makeup never allows her to look tired or sickly. Her naturally auburn hair is dyed blondeand kept to a certain length. She likes to wear designer labels though the clothes she picks out are always on a theme of 'cosmopolitan'. Her fashion sense never strays too far into 'punky' or 'alternative', but also never into 'frumpy' or 'church girl'.

Her Hero costume isanother matter. To allow for as much scope using her powers as possible, it is very segmented and shows off the toned muscle definition of her arms and abdomen. A balance was carefully struck when eciding how much skin to show, between practically and just the right amout of sex appeal without teetering on the edge of tasteless or trashy. Her costume colors are cadet blue and silver to match Luxon's branding.

Affiliations:
Luxon

Motivations:
Wireframe's primary motivation is to be a public symbol. A celebrity and role model. She wants people to know that they are protected and looked out for every time they see her smiling face on a billboard or commercial.

Relationships:
Madison is still close with her parents though they both tend to be as busy as she is, and the three of them will be lucky to find the opportunity to even be in the same room once a month. Most of Madison's human contact outside of her liasons and other Luxon staff, are her maid, Rose, and her trainer, Pete.

Base of Operations:
Several basement floors in Luxon Tower are designated as Madison's home, gym, school, training facility, motorbike garage and overall 'batcave' of sorts.

Signature Gear:
Wireframe's primary,most iconic piece of kit is a custom Luxon GTS motorbike with several custom features and gadgets. It has a rear-facing oil slick, front mounted machine guns, a smart tablet display that doubles as a comms unit, and best of all, can detatch at the center to allow her front half and her back half to ridethe two halves of the motorbike separately.

Her other noteworthy gadget is that she wears bracelets loaded with controlled explosives that can effectively turn her hands into grappling hooks.

Public Perception:
Among the general public, Wireframe's reputation is mixed. She is adored and revered by the younger demographic, Adult Hero fans, as well as many fellow Heroes, see her as a sellout who's very existance sets an offputting and disgusting precedent. A pretty faced, spoiled, rich daddy's girl who sells energy drinks on billboards more often than doing actual heroics. The villains she's fought however, tell their colleagues in hushed voices that Wireframe is a tricky hero who's not to be underestimated.

Combat Style:
Madison is a slippery, acrobatic fighter who is used to utilising her extensive MMA and grappling training in conjunction with her powers to create an unpredictable fighting style with an emphasis on restraining her opponents.
