Name: Duke Delroy/"Were I to say it out loud, you would turn insane"
Alias: Host of Plaixare (Usually just "Plaixare")
Age: 71
Gender: Male/Unknown
Appearance: The best way for me to put it is using a reference photo [not anime] seeing as his appearence is based on a real life person.
His outfit is generally very simple. Almost always a variation of a white vest, check shirt and a pair of tatty blue dungarees. Whenever possible he is wearing a John Deere Cap
When Duke is controlled by the Demon, Plaixare, his eyes glow a dull orange and his beard literally and figuratively burns like hot coals in a fireplace. His face also turns a slight tinge of Grey. Dukes skin seems to tighten around his bones giving him an almost skeletal build for the duration.
Personality Strengths: Duke is a humble man who cares not for money nor fame. Were he to have his way, the rest of his days would be spent with a fire in the hearth and a sheepdog by his side. When he is not taken over by an ancient demon, people can quickly tell that he has good intentions in what he does. He is a great listener and has an affinity for making one open up about themselves.
Personality Flaws: The Demon, Plaixare is a cruel and sadistic being who is barely controlled by Duke. Should he mistakenly relax his hold on the being for too long he will find himself using more than excessive force.
Regular Duke does also have his flaws but not nearly as severe. Due to his old fashioned way of life he can sometimes unintentionally be sexist and or racist. He means no malice by this but it can rub some people up the wrong way.
Powers: All of these power can only be used when channeling the power of Plaixare, something he only does when extremely necessary.
1. [Inferno's Gaze] Duke can project a roaring beam of flame from his face in a straight line for roughly 20 metres or until interrupted.
2. [Purgatory's Dusk] Within a 5x5 metre dome around himself, Duke can eliminate the effects of all light sources other than those created by himself causing the area to be almost pitch black. Those outside can see in but those inside the dome may not see out.
3. [Agility of the Abyss] Duke is able to perform short range teleportation. He can disappear in a cloud of black smoke and reappear in any direction up to 10 metres away from his starting position. This can be straight up or at angles but cannot be used to pass through solid objects.
4. [Torment's Transformation] When first taken over by Plaixare, aside from his appearance altering transformation, Dukes body gains some form of weapon suited to the task ahead. This could be clawed fingers, horns, a prehensile tail or some other kind of alteration. He can only gain one modification at a time and is stuck with his choice until he takes back control of his body. These additional transformations cannot add powers or ranged attacks, they are purely tools or melee weapons.
Skills:
Major 1. Farming. Since a young age Duke was working on a farm and therefore knows the correct technique for growing most common vegetables. He can also operate most simple machinery.
Major 2. Stringed instruments. Duke is skilled at playing instruments including but not limited to banjos, guitars and fiddles.
Major 3. Demonic tongue. Being the host of an otherworldly demon gives you all sorts of knowledge. Duke knows about some of the mystical realms and can speak fluently in demonic tongue.
Weapons: Duke carries with him a hook handled wooden cane. When taken over, the cane burns up into ashes but reforms when Duke returns.
[See Power #4]
Equipment: Duke carries a tobacco pipe, a tin to hold said tobacco and a hip flask

Duke grew up on a farm in the deep south in the 1950s. He lived with his parents up until the ripe old age of 14 where he packed a bindle with his worldly belongings and decided to make his own way into the wide world.
In his first years on the proverbial street, Duke lived off of busking with his banjo. He would sit on a street corner in the blazing hot sun and play until day became dusk.
This routine continued for three years, three glorious years. Of course he had no luxuries in his life but he made enough money to have at least 2 meals a day and a thick blanket to sleep in at night.
This all changed when one Winter night he came across a gang of Street Urchins no older than himself but all armed. They robbed him, kicking him to the ground and smashing his treasured instrument purely out of boredom. Broken and bruised, Duke crawled back to where he was staying the night and wept himself to sleep.
During this sleep a voice reached out to him through the mist of his dreams. The voice said, "embrace me . take my power . enact revenge . kill them all."
When Duke woke he found himself surrounded by the bodies of the kids who had cornered him the night before.
Each one maimed beyond recognition and posed, pointing at his resting place with a single outstretched finger. Some were missing limbs, others had had there faces burnt off. Those that still had a face, showed an expression of utter fear. Somehow, Duke knew he had committed these murders (COULD IT BE THE FACT THAT THEY WERE ALL POINTING AT HIM!? WHO KNOWS?)
The demon that had reached out to him had only intended to use him as a host for a single night. The plan was to siphon Duke's energy and then once it was more powerful it would move on to a new host, one with more power, more strength. That was the plan anyway.
When the demon tried to leave it's host's body, something inside of Duke held on, pulled back even. Such was Duke's will that Plaixare the demon found itself unable to leave this mere mortal.
As time went by and Duke aged he began to forget this ordeal and write it off as a bad dream induced by a bad choice of mushrooms in his stew. He got on with his life and even started work in a car factory of which he worked in for 20 years. The powers that he had witnessed that night never manifested themselves again but they still lay dormant, waiting for the moment to strike out with the rage and fury of an immeasurable force trapped within an unbreakable cage.

While I really like this. And I really do. That's why it pains me to be such a stickler, but before you decide on that photo. Could you at least try to find what I asked?

I'm interested.
I made this character but I'm not too sure if this was what you were looking for in your kind of team. Hopefully it is though.
Name: Garfield Oliver Remus
Alias: Grenadier
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Appearance: Garfield stands at six foot one and has a rather muscular build. He would often wear a shirt and camo cargo pants when in casual clothing. His brown hair is usually slicked back, as was suggested to him by one of his late friends, and he also has chestnut brown eyes. He seems to carry around the wolf tooth necklace he has, but he never said where he got it but it does seem awfully authentic. When he's out doing hero stuff, he simply wears a black leather jacket over his shirt, cargo pants, a black mask, gloves and combat boots. He has two bandolier-like sashes crossing both his shoulders which contain rocks and other assortment of small objects to be used in battle.
Personality Strengths: Garfield is a rather calm person. He's generally quiet and is a better listener than a spokesperson. A lot of people assume that he's mute since he rarely speaks; however, he when he does speak, it would become obvious that he's actually pretty nice. He's an honest person and it is, once more, shown when he answers a question. He is the kind of person who silently helps before leaving without so much as another word. He has a soft spot for animals and can be usually seen smiling around them.
Personality Flaws: Despite his calm exterior, Garfield on the field of battle is rather merciless and he still keeps his stoic expression. Actually, in the field of battle, he seems entirely emotionless. This tends to put off most heroes as he seemingly acts more like a villain than a hero. Out of battle, however, he seems to have his head in the clouds most of the time. He has little presence in the room too. He also shows signs of emotional dependence on others. He also claims to hear voices in his head, most of the time it is his siblings or some other close person to him.
Powers:
Skills:
Major Skills:
Minor Skills:
Weapons: He only carries small objects that he throws for his power. He stashes them in his bondolier.
Equipment: He typically never leaves without his sketchpad and drawing pencils, if not in a mission that is. It's usually in a small backpack. He also seems to like carrying around some food to feed animals.
History: Believe it or not, Garfield had a relatively normal childhood. His powers didn't surface until much, much later. His father served in the military and encouraged his children to join the military as well, much to the their mother's dismay. He was a cheerful child who looked up to his father so he agreed to join the military once he was old enough. His younger sister and brother didn't follow through though, thinking that they would fit in elsewhere. His father died when he was twelve. His last promise to his father was to serve the military in his place. His mother was hesitant on letting Garfield train for the military and his younger siblings discouraged him because he had great talent for art and that he should pursue that. Garfield figured out that they were worried for his safety because of the superhumans and how they could really hurt him, being normal and all.
Even with his family's disapproval of his decision, he still went to an academy and trained. By the age of twenty, he was out in the field. His job mainly consisted of being backup to the well-known superheroes which also involved almost getting blown apart, being teleported to the Bahamas (he was so lost at that time), shooting until the cartridge is empty only to see that it didn't even put a scratch on the enemy and the likes. Even so, he enjoyed his time there with his friends. His group of friends usually got out relatively unharmed. They took their day offs together. There were five of them, two females and three males including him. Each time they got a day off, they would live in a house of the family of one of the members. This was probably the prime of his life. He had a good relationship with his family, had excellent friends and an exciting job.
Everything came crashing down when he was twenty-eight years old. In the midst of a battle, his power emerged. He threw a rock at an enemy and he blew up. Note that this was a normal human being and he was torn asunder. The death didn't disturb him, considering he was military at that time, but they were all equally shocked to find out that Garfield had powers. His superiors caught wind of this and then quickly tested him. He was placed apart from his original team and group of friends since he had powers. They would make him train with it, and that's when he started hating his job. But this wasn't the worst of it. Figuring that maybe making a superhuman wasn't a bad idea, especially for him since he made grenades with inorganic materials, so they underwent an experiment.
It went wrong. The side effects had not been taken into note.
While making his body more resilient to force which ended up with him being a lot sturdier and his grenades not affecting him as much as a normal person, it also lowered his healing factor. His physical strength was greatly increased, but he suffered mentally and emotionally. The usual cheerful Garfield turned into a quiet and closed off man. He was deployed with his old friends in hopes that they didn't break him too much. It didn't work. His last battlefield on the military, it ended with two women and two men in their side dead by explosion and a mission complete... but he was the last one standing. Or rather, he was sitting down and crying with his hands in his ears, shouting for the voices to stop.
They failed. Garfield also had a bit of a problem adjusting to the life with his kind of power. No more shooting the paper ball into the bin or else it would explode. No more spreading the small grains to feed the pigeons, or else those would explode like miniature fireworks. It made him dependent to his younger siblings, since his mother had passed away. They tried their best to take care of him. They cared enough to sacrifice some of their time to help him. He was their older brother after all. But everytime they saw Garfield simply staring at nothing, they felt a pang of guilt. Why couldn't they stop him before? If not for their father and their lack of insistence, he would have still been the same.
His siblings died because of a villain attack. Garfield tried to save them, he really did. However, he wasn't powerful enough but the villain had been taken down by a superhero. But they were late. His siblings were already dead. They saved the day, but not his family. Thinking that it was because big shot superheroes didn't have the time to look at minor villains, he decided to go as a vigilante. That's when he joined up with the Rogue X. He found home and shelter with them, being a misfit himself, albeit for rather different reasons. They said his power was too 'destructive' but the team accepted him nonetheless. He found out about the other types of grenade after he was done in the military and is now trying to find out more about it.
Others:
- His power was too loud and too destructive. His personality is also rather villainy so he was never invited to become a superhero group.
- Everything he throws explodes so he needs to be careful to 'place' the things he want on the ground so they wouldn't explode.
- His power does not work on living things; however, it does work on fruits and vegetables. Just not on animals and humans.

He also claims to hear voices in his head, most of the time it is his siblings or some other close person to him.
Powers:
- Garfield has no name for his power. He has the ability to turn anything into a grenade - meaning everything he throws essentially can and will explode once it makes contact with a solid area. The mass of the object is directly proportional to how powerful the explosion is. In his own words, "The heavier the object, the bigger the boom." He also has three categories of said grenades:
- Explosive - The object would explode just like a normal grenade. It has the capabilities of blowing someone up.
- Stun - This acts more as a flashbang type of grenade. It releases a bright light and a loud sound that would leave most incapacitated for a few seconds.
- Smoke - Generally used for escaping
- Enhanced Physical condition - A side effect from an experiment gone wrong, his body can resist his own explosions and typically has a tougher exterior than most, making it harder to bruise him. He also has a greater physical strength than normal people and even trumping some of the enhanced humans in terms of brute strength. This doesn't mean he's invincible and he actually heals slower than most people.
Skills:
Major Skills:
- Parkour - Being part of the military from a time past, he has trained in this art for many years and has been using it most of the time while on hero business.
- Sneaking - Because of his less than admirable presence and generally being quiet in both speech and movement, he has garnered quite the ability... albeit unintentionally.
- Art - In his free time, he would often be seen with a sketchpad and drawing tools. Sometimes even a canvas and paint.
Minor Skills:
- Cooking - He's been living alone for a while. It'd be a wonder if he didn't learn it.
- Animals - This guy seems to form bonds with animals faster than with humans
- Singing - He has a surprisingly good voice.
Weapons: He only carries small objects that he throws for his power. He stashes them in his bondolier.
Pebbles - It doesn't spread that much but it can damage a normal person when they take it directly, leaving them with a nasty burn and ruined clothing. The shock from the explosion might be the main reason why normal people can't take it. Blast radius would span from 4 inches to six inches depending on the size.
Normal-sized rocks - Relatively larger than the pebble but not as much as a grenade. If taken by a normal person, it would leave a rather big wound and blow a body part off depending on the position of where it lands. It would be extremely painful though and the resulting bleeding might be the cause of alarm. Blast radius would effectively range from one foot to two feet.
Bigger rocks - The kind that is bigger than your hand so you can't wrap it all the way around. It is equivalent to a grenade and will blow off a part (or a lot of them depending on where it lands) and would probably kill a normal human being (highly likely). Blast radius would be around that of an average grenade, added with the extra shrapnel that would not explode from said rock or any other object of that size. Shrapnel only applies to this size of an object and bigger.

Thank you so much. I am so so so sorry. I really felt bad for asking you. I have problems, and am a visual thinker. So when I was making this RP, my mind immediately goes to comic books, not the movies, and the animated television shows. So in my head my world is very comic booky. And I have a very hard time adjusting RL characters into the comic book world I see.
So I agree it is an annoying request. And I agree I was being selfish. I should have just accepted the character. But it was jarring in my mind. Because I want everyone's photos to match and feel like they fit in this visual landscape in my mind. And I feel like a horrible person right now.
I'll look over the character a second time. But I think he's accepted. And I am going to look at the other character now that I have coffee in my system.

@AngelofOctober Don't feel bad. I was just cracking a joke. I find saying things like that funny and I often forget that others may not.
And plus, It was surprisingly enjoyable tracing completely legitimately drawing that from scratch.

Accepted - one minor thing you forget to mention radius, the distance of the blast radius, and shockwave damage for his explosions.
On another note;
I am making our Fearless Leader - Captain Sparkles [no seriously don't call her that, lolo]
And the Secondary Lead - Umbra a Raven ripoff <----honestly that's more of an inside joke I am having with myself because he's a little on the weird side.
^but these two will allow us to take on different missions and make different tactical teams based on the situation that arises.

Yes sir or ma'am.
I have never been a RP where letting one of the other member's PCs lead go well. I am the GM, I have for the most arcs and plots and things set in motion on my handy daddy web. And most members are too timid to lead a team without overstepping what the GM will setup.
Had a Teen Titans RP die because I decided not to play the team lead and it crashed and burned because the member was too timid and didn't really know how to lead.
Not all the Arcs are solid for example;
I ask for the depth in the sheets I do because I love to add character Arcs. So prepare for a Demon Arc, or prepare for me to come up to you and ask you guys questions about the past.
And bring people up to Haunt your characters.
Because to me a RP is a collaborative story. And everybody should be involved in the storytelling process.

Serenity Fleming Grier
“I do not see why I was turned down the opportunity. They told me I wasn’t as marketable as Rogue. She’s some weird goth chick with two tone hair colors. And I am a pretty girl. What are they trying to say about me? Am I that average? Ugh, it’s just so frustrating. I could make people happy. Instead I hear she banged Wolverine. Or maybe I am misrepresenting the story.”
Age: 24
Gender: Female - Proudly
Alias: Blue Swallow [the bird. And no I won’t accept being called Captain Sparkles. And the next person who calls me Captain Sparkles should rethink their life decisions]
My natural hair color is brown, my eyes are light brown, my bust and waist size are none of your business, my weight is none of your business that’s only belongs on legal documents and if you steal my ID to find out I will give you an Indian rash so bad you’ll want to stop drop and roll, my height is 5’5 without heels and 5’6” to 5’7” depending on what heels I choose to wear. I am not single. I am not looking to date you. And no I do not always dress this so down, actually this is my home body clothes and you have caught me at a bad time
I like to get dressy and flashy. But sometimes I try to keep it subtle. Everyone else doesn’t think I am subtle enough. I am not fucking Cloak. My power is already loud and the enemies can see my coming, so it’s not really important if I hide in the shadows.
As for the things I like to wear when I am just hanging out, going to work at the studio, or trying to live an ordinary life without it being really that ordinary. It depends on the day, the colors I feel, the way the music sounds in my head. The way the melody plays in my head. Rythym. Beat of life. Here are some examples of the things I chose to wear on an average day.
Casual Everyday Wear
Stuff I like to wear on an average day and I am either running around doing errands because some of the people in the apartment cannot be seen outside because, have you seen the way some of them look like. Or I am taking a class. Hanging out with friends that are not these people. I love them, but I need to get away sometimes.
*But let's be honest and say all the outfits are interchangeable and I can wear them to any event I want
Business and Business Casual
Things I wear when I need to do something important. An interview. Or other things of that sort of thing. I want people to think of us as professionals, even we honestly are not.
Date Night
This is me and Timothy time. And I dress specifically for him. No one else. You may look, but it’s not for you.
Blue Swallow
Do I think I am being vain? Look everybody in this world has a mask. We all chose to wear one to cover up the things we don't like about ourselves. People question whether or not I am serious about this job because of the way I dress when I fight. They don't think I care or don't think I was made out for this job. But they all don't know what feeling the eyes of the world on you means, they all don't know the weight of the world on your shoulders, and they definitely don't understand what it's like to look normal, be average, and everyone treat you like you're an ordinary woman, but you don't feel like an ordinary woman on the inside because you have a secret they don't.
I don't have wings, I don't have green skin, I don't have scales. I'm just a woman. I am not special, but I am special. I choose to wear what I wear because I am proud to be a beautiful, average, wonderful weirdo.
I don't have wings, I don't have green skin, I don't have scales. I'm just a woman. I am not special, but I am special. I choose to wear what I wear because I am proud to be a beautiful, average, wonderful weirdo.
I want to be the world’s pain, the world’s happiness, and love as well as it’s hatred. Music brings people together. And there is not one type of music. There are many types of music in this world.
I basically switch between costumes regularly. All you need to do is I have two types of costumes. One of them is just ordinary business. The other is that you have done something to royally piss me off.
Light Heroine Costumes
A Traditional Swallow
Everyone needs that traditional classic heroine outfit. It's the traditional super hero outfit, but I spiced it up with a little bit of Serenity magic.
Modern Take on a Heroine
I can't be condemned really for trying something new, can I? And it makes people happy. And I want to make the world happy and full of color.
Dark Heroine Costumes
Please keep in mind I used the term dark in a cheeky manner. I am not going to go out and murder people. Might kick a baddie in the groin, but it just means that I am really serious and am not going to mess around with a prick.
Glam Swallow
She's in your face. She's going to make you pay for what you have done. Prepare yourself, she's about to make you feel the world's anger.
Dynamic Swallow
You're a fuck head. You're more than a prick. And I am going to make you eat your words.
Personality Strengths
Mothering -
Serenity is not very nurturing mother, but she is still very much mothering. She makes the team is properly fed, looked after, taken care of. She might be that hovering mother who makes sure everyone has what they need, but it makes her a rather dedicated mother because of it. She gets things done and is very efficient at these things because she cares that much.
For some older than her she simply a little or older sister depending on the age difference, for the youngest members, or the most infant like she is a very caring, devoted mother. Who do anything for the people that she genuinely loves and cares for. Even when they annoy her sometimes, she will always make the sacrifice for her children and family.
Upbeat -
Do not mistake her upbeat attitude as blindly ignorant optimism. She’s a positive realist. She doesn’t delude herself into thinking things will get better when they are worse because that doesn’t solve problems. How she tends to deal with stressful situations around here is by keeping an upbeat attitude.
Though she honestly doesn’t do it in the way that gets an eye roll out of everyone and then they ignore her. She’s not an idiot and anyone who mistakes her for being an idiot is going to be sorry that they did. She’s not going to tell you think about a silver lining or it can’t get worse or stay positive.
She’s going to say, yeah, things are fucked right now, but sitting on our asses and not doing anything to fix it is just as fucked or isn’t going to solve the problem. If we don’t like then let’s go and change it to make it better. We need to stand up now. And then later on we can lick our wounds. I’ll make hot chocolate and we’ll sit on the couch drinking hot chocolate.
And even she can have a moment or two when something disastrous happens and she doesn’t know the proper response to it. She’s not some creepy positive feeling robot.
Opinionated -
While it can be a double edge sword in her case, Serenity is not afraid to tell you what she thinks of you. She also tends to have a sailor mouth when doing it. She doesn’t keep quiet. And refuses to keep quiet. If she agrees or disagrees she’ll let you know. There is no, not knowing what Serenity means because she’s clear on what she means.
She speaks straight forwardly. No hints. No subtlety. She lacks the tack to be that subtle about it. And sometimes her words are not enough and she’ll physically let you know what she thinks.
Confident -
But not arrogant. The reason why Serenity can stand up so fiercely, or look at a horrible situation with such certainty is because she is confident in herself. She is confident in her judgment of others. She is confident to make the right decisions when they need to be made. When she says, I am confident it will work. It means she is a hundred percent certain that it will work.
Personality Flaws
Vain -
But only really a little bit. There’s no real reason for someone to own so much makeup and so much clothing and change their costumes based on their mood. But she’s not so obnoxiously vain it’s narcissism.
She spent most of her life trying to prove that she was an ordinary girl like the rest. Only to not really fit in with them. And feel like an outcast. When she was found to be a mutant, she went to the Xavier School of the gifted. But there were people with tails, green skin, who shot lasers from their eyes, who breathed fire. She was too ordinary for them and didn’t really fit in with them either.
She always felt a little out of the loop. And she covers it up with her mask. Not a physical one made out of fabric, but one that has to do with layers of clothes or choosing the makeup she does to reflect something inside of her.
Opionated -
Mentioned before in her case it can be a double edge sword. Because she doesn’t attempt tact, she has a habit of going off on the wrong people. Too easily jumping the gun and telling someone how it is, when it really isn’t how it is. This is often the reason why few are so willing to hold a lasting friendship with her. But those that truly know her. Love her. And understand her know she means nothing by it, sometimes she means nothing by it. Sometimes she means something by it based on false information or a false understanding of what the person has done or said.
Controlling -
Yeah she’s the leader, but she could learn to let go just a little bit. She seems overbearing and with her can do attitude, she can be hard to convince to let someone else take over the reigns. You see this often when she is in direct conflict with Umbra. As he is technically a secondary commander when either she is around, or there are many threats at once and the Avengers, X-men or whomever are gone.
She has trouble letting others show what they might bring forth. Maybe because she’s a little bit of a perfectionist, but she also often takes the burden of failure on herself. If anyone was hurt, lost or something were to occur she’d be the one bare the responsibility even if it were not her actions that resulted in the problem at hand.
She simply wants to do her best. Show her best. Which makes her overreaching and overbearing to some. She’s learning to give the reigns up, but often takes them back if she’s someone steer to close to an edge. It’s also probably the mothering nature in her not wanting to see them fail.
Overbearing -
Did we mention she can be overbearing? While she often needs break from the others. Sometimes the others feel they need a break from her. She’s controlling and doting, maybe too a fault sometimes. And tries to get everyone to do the best they can. She can be sort of in your personal space or she ruptures your personal space bubble trying to force you to do something you don’t necessarily want to do all based on her whim or desire.
She tries not to do it too much. But her extroverted nature makes her seek people for comfort.
Powers:
There seems to be a fine line between a savant or genius in music and someone who is a superhuman in music. Everyone else gets to spray acid, throw fireballs, manipulate gasoline. I am one hell of a dancer and singer, and I am going to make you regret thinking it makes me weaker than anyone else.
Enhanced Musicianship
While her powers developed later in life, as most Mutant’s powers do end up display their full potential during puberty, Serenity was still unnaturally gifted in music, dancing, and singing. She didn’t just understand notes, it was like notes and music passed through her and she somehow could feel the music. Like music had life.
As a little girl she was hailed a prodigy in music, and between the ages of 6 and 11 before puberty she was in many contest, many plays and talent shows at her school. She was hailed as being the next best singer, musician, and dancer of her age group.
Enhanced musicianship is not necessarily directly a power, but it encompasses under it several applications for Serenity and they are;
Performance Art Intuition - in a nutshell it simply means she possesses immense natural skills in the performing arts, but is limited to singing, dancing, and creating music. She’s tried to draw and other avenues and she fails in those sets of skill.
Music Empowerment - when Serenity comes into contact with music she draws power from the rhythm, melody, harmony and beats, which makes her inhumanely strong, and fast. But not Flash fast or Quicksilver fast, simply faster than the average human and stronger than the average human allowing her to lift and launch people in the air with a relative ease. When the music is going, she has enhanced reflexes, which makes her notice a person’s attack patterns more. But if there is no music, then Serenity is as weak as her ordinary human self.
Superhuman Dancing - When Serenity is dancing she is stronger than the average human being, able to lift others up with relative ease with a super punch or super kick, or a super dance combo. This doesn’t require music for her to perform these feats with just her dancing, but if she wants more benefits than she needs to tamp into her musical empowerment to gain more like speedier reflexes, and faster timing. But her superhuman dancing is also limited to when she is dancing.
She uses her Superhuman Dancing as her main form of combat. Demonstrated in this video here, click to watch.
Musical Empowerment Manipulation
Her musical empowerment manipulation isn’t just to give her extra power in battle. But she also has an ability known as empowerment manipulation. In the shortest terms possible, she is able to control time in sink with any piece of music she touches.
During the break she can slow down time. During a fast portion she can fast forward her actions or rewind her actions or the actions of others. And she can combine these things in any variation she likes. It simply needs to be perfectly timed with the rhythm of the music. This ability requires music to perform this ability.
Major Skills
Human Metronome
While this may sound like a power, it is not. It is something Serenity has learned her whole life being as musically trained as she was. Before her enhanced musicianship was founded to be a power, she was encouraged and enabled to pursue music. She got the best training a middle class family could find, she played in school. And because of this, it’s easy for her to keep count of music in her head almost as if it were instinct.
Musically Trained
As a child Serenity was encourage to pursue her musical pursuits. When a power at first looks simply like genius levels of musicianship, only to later be found out it is a power leads some to believe Serenity cheated all those years. Either way Serenity has worked hard to be where she is today without it being necessarily not just her power, but a trained skill.
Serenity is sometimes called in by friends or through connections of friends to Choreograph dance moves for upcoming music videos. When she was very young she took classes in urban hip hop, jazz, Broadway, and break dancing.
But Serenity also Orchestrates her own musical composition. Owning a record label with her boyfriend and recording songs. Except that she isn’t really widely known and has to live with the fact that she may never be a big star.
She also can Sing professionally as well. She often writes and sings her own music.
Leadership Training
She feels she is qualified for the job as a leader because she’s the only one who has been trained in leadership. How does she figure this? Because in her college courses she was required to take either a business management class or an economy class. She chose business management class. And they had a whole entire section on leadership, and trust exercises.
Minor Skills
Seamstress
Who do you think makes my costumes? Me. I am the best seamstress in at least Rogue X. You got a hole in your cape, I’ll fix it. Have a little patch in your knee it’s fine I brought my fabric first aid kit. No one should go in this world without something beautiful to wear. Nor should they always chose to look homeless.
Laundry
There is a proper way to do laundry and there is an improper way of doing laundry. Being musically trained and going to the concerts she did or tournaments she did. Serenity has learned how to take care of different fabric in the wash. But anyone who thinks she’ll just do their laundry free has to pay her ten bucks up front.Twenty if the clothes are exceptionally dirty. Exception Riko.
Charismatic Scolding
If you don’t think this is a skill, then you do not know Serenity. On a good day when they are fighting a simply misguided villain she often gets them to stop their activities merely by scolding them sternly for their actions. Many feel so bad after her strong talking to they turn themselves in.
It’s also the voice she uses to get things done in the apartment. She is not a house maid and makes sure everyone in Rogue X keeps their area clean.

I've edited into my sheet but it's here as well so people can find it.
Duke grew up on a farm in the deep south in the 1950s. He lived with his parents up until the ripe old age of 14 where he packed a bindle with his worldly belongings and decided to make his own way into the wide world.
In his first years on the proverbial street, Duke lived off of busking with his banjo. He would sit on a street corner in the blazing hot sun and play until day became dusk.
This routine continued for three years, three glorious years. Of course he had no luxuries in his life but he made enough money to have at least 2 meals a day and a thick blanket to sleep in at night.
This all changed when one Winter night he came across a gang of Street Urchins no older than himself but all armed. They robbed him, kicking him to the ground and smashing his treasured instrument purely out of boredom. Broken and bruised, Duke crawled back to where he was staying the night and wept himself to sleep.
During this sleep a voice reached out to him through the mist of his dreams. The voice said, "embrace me . take my power . enact revenge . kill them all."
When Duke woke he found himself surrounded by the bodies of the kids who had cornered him the night before.
Each one maimed beyond recognition and posed, pointing at his resting place with a single outstretched finger. Some were missing limbs, others had had there faces burnt off. Those that still had a face, showed an expression of utter fear. Somehow, Duke knew he had committed these murders (COULD IT BE THE FACT THAT THEY WERE ALL POINTING AT HIM!? WHO KNOWS?)
The demon that had reached out to him had only intended to use him as a host for a single night. The plan was to siphon Duke's energy and then once it was more powerful it would move on to a new host, one with more power, more strength. That was the plan anyway.
When the demon tried to leave it's host's body, something inside of Duke held on, pulled back even. Such was Duke's will that Plaixare the demon found itself unable to leave this mere mortal.
As time went by and Duke aged he began to forget this ordeal and write it off as a bad dream induced by a bad choice of mushrooms in his stew. He got on with his life and even started work in a car factory of which he worked in for 20 years. The powers that he had witnessed that night never manifested themselves again but they still lay dormant, waiting for the moment to strike out with the rage and fury of an immeasurable force trapped within an unbreakable cage.

We'll have a traditional OCC and Character Index soon. I figure we get the characters done in here. Copy and paste their delicious accepted bodies in the character index, to keep the OCC clear with just OCC discussion.

I really don't delve into specifics that much but I tried to give it a rough estimate and some changes based on these rough estimates.
