Full Name: Rebekah Leah Green

Super Alias: Karearea (as in the bird)

Age: 18

Appearance: Rebekah Green is most often seen around the BoSA building wearing jeans and a t-shirt. It is simple, comfortable, practical clothing, which suits her just fine. She is a smidge above average height, with blue eyes, light skin and mid-length blonde hair she keeps tied back in a pony-tail. She sometimes wonders if her nose isn't a bit too long.


Power(s): Rebekah can change the size of objects around her, growing or shrinking them into perfect scale replicas of themselves. The ability cannot be used on living beings. She is also able to teleport to anywhere she can see.

Genes: Reality warping

Biography: Rebekah comes from a family of non-supers, so far as she can tell. Her great-grandmother might have been where she got the magical genes, but the stories about her are pretty murky and often don't agree.

She grew up in New Zealand, in amid-sized town near to a national park. Early on in life, she developed a love of books and reading, devouring both fact and fiction alike. A little later on, when she entered her teenage years, she continued with this, though the books gained a rival - the outdoors. Mountain biking, kayaking and walking all held strong appeal for her, leading to exciting trips to lakes, mountains and rivers.

Possibly due to her lack of close super ancestors, Rebekah was relatively late in developing her powers. Rebekah's powers first manifested shortly after her 15th birthday, while walking the last section of the Tongariro crossing. The school group were all tired, hungry, getting damp from the grey mist that had descended over the mountain and generally ready for the day's exertion to be over. Coming over the last rise and getting a view of the shuttle waiting at the end of the track, Rebekah suddenly disappeared from among the group to find herself standing up against the white van's windows.

Shocked at this sudden transition, she jumped, yelled and tripped over backwards. Her fall would have landed her head on a large rock, but it shrunk down to the size of a pebble underneath her. She ended up landing on some scrub bushes, coming down much more gently and looking up to see a karearea swooping by overhead. By the time the rest of the group had caught up, it became clear what had happened and Rebekah was outed as a super.

Recently, Rebekah’s parents took an opportunity to move to the US for their jobs in the solar panel industry. Rebekah, having just finished school, chose to go with them and take a place on the newly forming team of young supers in Metroville.

Personality: Rebekah is quiet and reserved in most situations, preferring to listen and observe than to speak. When she does speak, it is usually in direct answer to a problem that needs solving or to suggest an action. She doesn't do well with small-talk and doesn't share her emotions easily, except with those she is closest to and trusts without exception. On the other hand, she will happily go on and on about an interesting idea and enjoys being challenged in this way.

She tries to view the world as rationally as possible, and solve problems using logic and reason. She values knowledge and curiosity and holds tightly to the idea that the best superhero is not the one with the strongest power, but the one who knows when and how to apply their abilities to get the best result.

Rebekah is a bit bit unsure of herself, what with coming to a new country and taking on the role of a full-time professional superhero, but she is also excited for the challenge it will bring. This is a chance for her to make her mark on the world, and she wants to take it.

Her personality would be an I-N-T-J on the Myers Briggs Type Indicator.

Skills: Rebekah has some pretty good skills in the outdoors, and has good fitness and endurance to go with them. She is reasonably proficient in self-defence, but unlike some of her fellow supers, her fighting talent is nothing special.

Where she does excel physically is in her reflexes and reactions, based on her senses ,which are pretty sharp when she cares to pay attention.

Rebekah has always enjoyed school and done well in her non-super education, so she has a solid grounding in a number of subject areas, particularly the sciences.

Super Suit Specifics/Equipment: Rebekah’s suit will teleport with her, and is extra-tough, since her powers don’t give her any extra durability or protection from physical harm. Her suit also includes a backpack that contains all of the equipment she uses while super-ing. It is growing towards being, so far as she was concerned, the most massively useful collection of items ever assembled into a space of under 35 litres.

All shrunk down and organised into their own individual pockets, she has everything from extra clothes for a number of situations, food, drink and other survival supplies, first aid kits, combat gear, vials of some interesting chemicals, and a few handy odds, ends and gadgets to top it off. In need, she can retrieve any of these items and grow them back to their full size in just a few moments.

Her suit also contains the team’s standard additions: a global tracking device and secure communicator.


Possessions: Shortly before Rebekah left New Zealand, she purchased a small greenstone pendant, and wears it as a reminder of home, and her friends and family back there.

Other: Rebekah’s name is Rebekah, and she would prefer it if others didn’t insist on shortening it to Bekky, Bekka, Bex or any other variation they might come up with. It’s a perfectly good name already, and it doesn’t need shortening, thank you very much! It is something of a pet peeve for her.

Name: Kai Mako
Super Alias: Magnastar
Age: 23
Appearance:

Kai Mako is a beauty by nearly all standards of measure. Long jet black hair and piercing blue eyes, her fair and pale skin are contrasted in her almost always black attire. When she is on duty she keeps her hair in a tight braid that is pinned to the back of her head to keep it out of the way, otherwise it is loose and free flowing to play in whatever wind there might be... for some reason it seems like there always is one.

Power(s): Magnetic Manipulation (Electromagnitism)

Genes: Reality Warping

Super Suit Specifics: Black, with no shine at all, designed to reduce sound made from moving around in it, i.e. no swish from running. The boots are steel toe and soul and tie all the way up to her knee. She also wears metal lined finger gloves that leave the last knuckle on exposed so she can make uninterrupted contact with metal surfaces. A back sheath for her Katana is built right into the suit, as well as a utility belt for her myriad of throwing weapons. The front collar of the suit is loose and tall so that it can cover the front of her face.

Skills: She is a ninja. Even without the use of her super powers she is extremely quick and agile for a normal person. She is a master with the sword, and very good with other martial and improvised weapons and has very good accuracy with thrown weapons. She is fluent in English, Japanese, and Korean dialects. She could also speak enough to get by in China if she had to with either Mandarin or Cantonese.

Note: While she is personally able to operate technology, her magnetic abilities have a tendency to make electronics go a little... weird... unless properly protected with ASD shielding.

Personality: A fairly serious individual, more of a tomboy then a girly girl. Dedicated to fighting crime, but not afraid to cross a line and doesn't care much for what other people think about that. This often leads to conflict with the BoSA. Tenacious and stubborn, but knows that escaping to fight another day is not giving up... sometimes it just takes her longer then is should to realize its time to go.

Biography: Born in the US to a Japanese father, an expert at kendo, and a Korean mother, an expert at judo, she has lived her life traveling from Dojo to dojo studying the various forms of martial arts throughout Asia and in North America. When she was very young a sparing match got out of hand and escalated quickly when an older student of the dojo she was visiting decided to put away the wooden sword and drew a dagger instead. This lead to the awakening of her abilities to manipulate magnetism. Years later her parents were killed in a car accident by bank robbers trying to run away from police. She vowed then that she would put her abilities with a sword, and with magnetism, to use stopping criminals whenever she could.

Equipment/possessions: Katana, eight throwing knives, 8 throwing stars, 20 steel ball-bearing (1/2" diameter) held in specialized clips. Specially made cuffs (intended for arrests), six steel rings split between both hands, a steel chain necklace, steel bangle bracelets on both wrists, similar bangles on both ankles. Training dojo where she does her 'day job' of teaching kendo and her own style of mixed martial arts, modest funds to support it, also her place of residence.

Name: Mary Guarder

Super Alias: Dryad

Age: 19

Power(s): Grow and manipulate plants, accelerate decay

Genes: Light manipulation, life manipulation

Super Suit Specifics: Made from natural fibers and ceramic armor, so as not to interfere with her powers. It contains a series of capillaries which feed a mix of hydroponic chemicals to the seeds she plants in the suit, allowing her to grow various kinds of plants from her suit on demand. It, of course, contains a tracking device and a communicator.

Skills: Tracking, biology, hydroponics, first aid

Personality: She wants to live up to her parent's legacy as super heroes, but she's not the biggest stickler for the law. She likes helping people, but doesn't always agree with others on the best way to do that.

Biography: Her grandmother was a great super hero in the 60s, until she learned about the downside of her body's regenerative powers. She became the first verified example of human primogenesis, and later gave birth to a child that was genetically identical to herself. When her fans found out that she was pregnant, most of them were disappointed in her and turned against her.

She decided to raise her daughter under her secret identity, telling everyone that she was a widow. She took time off for a few years, but rejoined the super hero game when her daughter was five. When her powers first manifested, Mary's mother deactivate her mother's powers, seeing that her mother's powers kept her away. She gained the power to manipulate the manifestation of powers themselves, a different power that her mother's, despite being genetically identical. After her mother convinced her to reactivate her powers, she started to want a different power so that she could join her mother, to spend more time with her, even as a sidekick. That was when her power caused her to manifest a second power, the self-healing powers of her mother, though not her mother's ability to heal others. She fought alongside her mother for years until her mother died when she was eighteen, the victim of disintegration via doomsday laser. She worked with another super by the name of Simon J. Paladino, aka Gazerbeam, to take down the villain who had killed her mother.

When the supers were forced to disappear, she was dating Gazerbeam, and they considered getting married and settling down together. When she decided to continue hero work illegally and he decided to fight within the legal system for the rights of supers they broke up, with Mary's mother not telling him that she was pregnant.

Mary's life was fairly ordinary, save the point in her childhood where she was helping her mother in the flower garden and instinctively made her plant grow with her glowing hands. Her mother convinced her to hide her powers, though they always had plenty of food without having to buy any thanks to a few pots of soil in the basement.

A few years ago, when her mother told her who her father was and that he had been killed by a super villain, she decided to go and fight crime, for both her dead father that she never knew and her mother that had given up on being a hero.

Mary's secret identity grows hydroponic vegetables and sells them in the city.

Equipment/possessions: A collection of seeds and plant specimens for around the world, a cell phone, a wallet, and some basic clothes
