Welcome to the awesome city of Treaft! Where your comic book dreams come to life! Sort of! Basically what I'm thinking is we all make a hero and villain to make the numbers somewhat equal. If you want three heroes and one villain, or one hero and two villains, that's fine, just as long as you roleplay at least one each. (If you have a problem with this, please let me know, we'll get it handled.)
This thread is one that will try to deal with the more human aspect of being a hero or villain. Do you ditch your boy/girlfriend when on a date and see a bank across the street being robbed? How do you get out of your job early to pull off the perfect assassination? Do you join the other hero fighting crime, or swoop in at the end to steal the credit for the press? Do you struggle to hide your powers from the world, trying to stay an ordinary citizen 24/7? It's all your decision!
Do whatever you wish with the thread, just please try not to make a hero or villain OP. Don't worry about the Character Sheet too much, blanks are totally cool. Just post your characters in the Character tab and jump in. If there's a problem, I'll let you guys know. ;)
Thanks, and have fun!

Occupation: Government ordained Hero
Julia winters grew up in a simple home environment a loving father, and mother. It was on her tenth birthday that people kidnapped Julia, and forced her to train as a weapon. She was taken because of the powers she already had. During this time they replaced her entire body with a specialized synthetic one. Thankfully before she could ever step onto the field the government discovered the people that had kidnapped her. So on her fifteenth birthday she, and several other kids who she'd never met before were freed. The people that kidnapped her was, Ouroboros, and they were quick to disappear into the shadows after their facility was hit. Thanks to the governments aid Julia was able to return to a somewhat normal life. She was even reunited with her parents. She was put into private school with the ten other students that'd been through what she had. They were taught how to control their powers, and blend into society unseen. At graduation Julia, and the others were given a choice. They could either continue on with their lives try living a normal life without any further interference. Or, they could stay to work with the government. Julia, and a few others decided to stay because they wanted to ensure that whatever happened to them never happened to anyone else ever again. Julia was deployed to Treaft city to help keep the peace there. As there were reports of several troubling events occurring, and their crime rate was rather high. Plus they wanted to ensure someone was there to help keep the heroes under some semblance of control. As to ease the minds, and souls of the general populace. So they dubbed Julia, Gadget from her special powers. They gave her the bare minimum resources needed to help keep the city safe, and a fair paycheck.

Occupation: the first seat leader in Ouroboros
Zero's father was the third seat leader of Ouroboros, and was rather greedy. Being jealous of the first two seats who had powers, while he was just a human angered him. When his son first exhibited his powers his father seemed proud at first. But, as he got older his father became increasingly hostile. To even coming home one day just to beat the daylights out of him. In a moment of fear he'd kill him Zero murdered his own father using his powers. Seeing the great potential in him the first seat decided to take the young boy under his wing. They traveled to China where he was taught Kung fu under masters. Then was brought home to study technology, and it's works. During the raid on facility one the place that held Julia, and the others like her. That his master was visiting to ensure everything was running smoothly. It was then that his master was taken into custody, this man that was like a second father to him. Was taken away, then executed because of a bunch of stupid snot nosed nobodies. Nobodies that got a chance to be a part of something greater than themselves. From that day on he swore he'd track down every single one of the people involved in his surrogate fathers "murder". Over the twelve years that passed after the raid on the facility Zero worked to take over as the first seat. Being successful, and having the nearly unlimited resources he's managed to track down most of the people involved. One of the only remaining people being Julia, and it has brought Zero to Treaft city, as to finally finish his goal.

Personality and Origins: Carmen Chavana is a wise-cracking snarky smartass who's recently retired after a tour of duty in the Navy SEALS (she didn't really enjoy it too much), having served a tour in Syria in recent years, having participated in special operations supporting local Kurdish militias against ISIS and their affiliates. In short, she's the type of person who would rescue someone from a fire, but steal their valuables and shoot the arsonist in the process. She's a very empathetic and caring person towards friends, and those who aren't in the game, but she has no qualms of killing an offending party, especially those who already qualify for a death sentence in almost any western civilization. While she's also brave and smart, she's also very anti-social, and prefers to be alone, or with at least one or two other people she could trust with her life. While she's made friends in a school she used to go to with other people who had super powers, she hasn't kept in touch with them after she served in the Navy. She's also not the type to start fights, normally keeping a calm persona about her (despite cursing in spanish many times when she's mad), and never drawing her weapons or using force unless she really has to (normally in order to end the conflict as swiftly as possible). However, due to her past life as a felon, and her service in Syria, she's had a strong distrust of governments and figures of authority (the military doesn't count in her mind, she sees them as a good tool being used for the wrong problems). So while she's willing to cooperate with authority figures who have common sense, decently and will listen to any of her terms, she will not hesitate the beat the shit out of a politician or a cop who's sold out the people in favor of money or a criminal element.
Carmen Chavana was born under Rosa Chavana and Paco Gamero, who returned from Navy service onboard the USS Constellation shortly before her birth. When Carmen was 2 years old, Paco, who was still in a relationship with Rosa at the time, moved with his girlfriend and daughter to New York, as he had a friend that worked at the Trump Tower in New York City, offering him a high-paying job there. There, for most of her life, she grew up in New York City. However, when she was 7, the relationship between her parents was getting strained after her father was demoted, and from then she grew up under a drunk mother and an abusive father. Due to the nature of her family and the abuse that her mother and Carmen herself experienced from her father, she remained rather secluded and never had a chance to experience her powers (other than some instances of dodging her father's blows in some moments of slow motion, but she thought that was normal and told no one about that).
Her mother left Paco when Carmen was 12, though when they moved they moved into a small hispanic ghetto in the suburbs of NYC, where Rosa was able to easily purchase illegal drugs from one of the gangs that dominated the neighboorhood, as well as get "protection" in exchange, for... well... "services". Carmen, who was going to school (a rather terribly funded one at that), heard about the various gangs that ruled the area, and heard about all of the cool stuff about them that her peers talked to her about. Wanting a better life for herself, she ran away from home and hung out with one of the local hispanic gangs that ruled the area. She was thrown into her first fight, where she had to prove her worth to the gang by fighting one of its biggest members. This is when she first learned about how special her ability was, and how she could use its advantages. Using her quick reflexes, she was able to dodge most of the man's punches and throw some of her own, and even though he didn't go down that easily, the other members were impressed and recruited her into the gang, seeing how useful she was.
From that point on, she has grown up under a false family, though some of the gang members did treat her with the love and respect of other siblings. However, when she was older, she went on a crime spree with other members, robbing stores and rival gangs. She was never caught by the police, and never identified by any of her victims. However, it wasn't until she was 17 that she found out about a child molester living in her neighboorhood, and after finding horrifying evidence when robbing his home of such acts, she murdered the man responsible when he returned home, and protected children he kidnapped until the police arrived. When the police arrived, she surrendered peacefully to them, and she was arrested and imprisoned as a result. This was her first (and since then her last) kill, and when she took the shot, she never regretted doing that since. She was given a short sentence given the circumstances. Her sentence lasted for four years, and in that time she learned to be tougher, stronger, and studied.
Carmen was released from prison when she turned 21 after a few transfers and good behavior. She was originally on parole, but with some connections she was able to let the cops turn a blind eye to her. Hearing about a certain school that helps teach their students how to keep in touch with themselves and their powers, she went there as a life mission to improve herself. As part of her life mission, she had the tattoo of the Pheonix and Aries ash debri marks done in order to symbolize that she has risen from the ashes, born as a new, free bird. After attending school, however, she joined the Navy as part of her lifelong dream go out and explore the ocean, whether it would be on a sailboat or destroyer. However, when joining the Navy, those that trained her recognized her unmatched skill, and placed her in the US Navy Special Forces, to which she agreed to do so, hoping that it will take her somewhere at least. She served a tour in Syria, fighting ISIS and helping out local Kurdish militias for the time being, until she got bored and resigned (I know you can't do that IRL but let's just say she did, besides, there's people with freaking superpowers). As of now, she's working as a private contractor who's willing to arrest thieves, kill hitmen, kidnap crooked cops and rescue hostages.
Looks: Carmen stands tall at 5'9", and has a rather toned muscle definition from a few years of practice and training (in prison). Brown hair, brown eyes, pretty face, very Hispanic. After she was released from prison, she's aquired a few tattoos along her back and shoulders, and a few more in prison as well. Along the back of her shoulders and the top half of her back are that of a Phoenix spreading its wings, and along her lower back are the ashes that it has risen from, the debri of the ashes scattered symmetrically on both sides, both of them forming the constellation of Aries on either side. She also has a few cigarrette burn marks along her arm, as well as a few slash wound scars along her gut and arms from fights with other criminals/prisoners. She also has a long scar along her cheek and temple, as an evaded attempt on her life in prison. She even has a few scars of bullet wounds from the various weapons terrorists fired at her during her tour of duty in Syria.
As for her clothing, she generally wears a tank top (typically white) or a T-shirt (typically with the flat black NAVY decal on it), and as for bottoms she either wears short jean shorts (in casual settings) or Navy BDU trousers (anytime else). Often times, she wears a small black leather jacket over it all in order to hide her conceal-carried .45 shoulder holster, but when on operations, she often forgoes the jacket for a black tactical vest with armor plates in it.
Other: She is also in possession of a sleek black 2003 Ford MustangSVT Cobra Convertible that she's been working on shortly after she joined the hispanic crime gang in her neighboorhood. The few friends she had left after she left prison kept the vehicle and improved it while she was incarcerated, bringing it to her after she was released. She will be seen working on it during her free time from time to time, and has made it into quite a getaway car, having it accelerate in a hearbeat and reach 180 MPH. This is also where she stores a whole lot of her contraband (guns, drugs, other stuff), but all in a hidden area where they aren't easy to find.
@AbandonedIntel She's amazing! You can toss her onto the Character tab too, although I do ask that you make a villain too since Carmen is basically good. If that's a problem let me know. :3. You can start role-playing whenever.
@AbandonedIntel Also, if Carmen cusses in Spanish, could you bleep that just like in English? I'm not sure how many people on this site speak Spanish, but just in case, you know?
@1Hawkeyes Thank you very much! And the site's rules on language isn't that strict, she doesn't curse in every single sentence. XD But if you want me to censor profanity I will do so. :)
Oh crap! Forgot about that! YES!!!! Now I can make a Mad Scientist character! :D Also do you mind if they actually talk to each other and are associates? XD
