"Well, aren't you lookin' like a snack..."
Villain Name: Virus
Civilian Name: Charles Richmond
Origin City: Lexington, MA
Hometown: Truth or Consequences, NM
Sex: Variable, Originally Male
Race: Variable, Originally Caucasian
Height: Variable, Originally 5"10
Weight: Variable, Originally 190lb
Age: 25 Birth Date: October 13th, 2001
--------
Costumed Appearance: Virus' preferred form is also his original: a man with short-cut dark brown hair, wearing a dress jacket, shirt and a tie, slacks, and loafers.
Civilian Appearance: Virus can become anyone you'd see on the street, from the average businessman to a career criminal, from a stray cat to a goddamn tree. Extremely variable. You could be able to tell it was him if you could somehow tell the clothes he was wearing were attached to his body.
Icon: Doesn't associate himself with trivial icons.
Personality: Virus is insane, no questions asked. Not only does he tend to eat people as a food source, he takes pleasure in killing and eating them. He tends to laugh while slaughtering innocents. In an actual difficult fight, however, he becomes much more stone faced and serious. He also has an unnatural fascination with becoming stronger, or in his words, "the top of the food chain".
That being said, he's extremely cunning and clever, taking steps to ensure his own survival and avoid capture. He's not against using others for his own benefit, through deception or otherwise.
Super abilities:
-Skills:
Mastermind level intellect
Various combat skills (Hand to Hand, Weapons, Marksmanship, etc.)
Various menial skills (Cooking, Writing, Origami, etc.)
-Powers:
Cell Manipulation:
Virus can manipulate his own body's cells into a sort of "hivemind". These cells are highly advanced and much more complex than the average animal cell. Any cell can become any other cell. Virus can even disappate his form to walk through mesh and gain flexibility. These cells as a whole, however, get hungry... Which leads to our next ability.
Assimilation:
Virus' main ability. His cells break off his body in a swarm and begin consuming a nearby living being, be it plants, animals, or human. It's mostly human, though. This allows him to not only absorb the energy from the being, but also gain access to it's memory (if it has one) and DNA codes, allowing him to essesntially "copy" abilities. The stronger the ability, the more people he needs to eat to make it work properly, depending on the "quality" of the person.
Shapeshifting:
Virus can perfectly mimic anyone or anything he's assimilated, all the cells in his body shifting to accomodate the form. He can also re-arrange his biomass into different weapons: Armor, Shields, Blades, Claws, etc.
Assimilatiing more people means that Virus's body will become more dense, meaning more biomass to work with.
Healing Factor:
While not exactly "healing", Virus can use excess cells to replace damaged or destroyed ones. He does have an extremely minor regeneration, though. Comined with his cell manipulation, and given enough time, he can potentially regrow his entire body from a single cell.
Asorbed Powers:
His mimic powers are gained from assimilating, and tend to be weaker than the orginals. They include the minor healing factor above as well as Super Strength, Flight, Energy Manipulation, Telepathy, and other mundane abilities such as water breathing and enhanced reflexes.
-----Biography-----
Character History/Origin:
Charles Richmond used to be an average man. He was single, and didn't have many friends. He grew up in a wealthy family, went to M.I.T and graduated as a Bioscience major, and was hired to do government research in a facility in New Mexico. Originally, the facility was used to research the effects of disease on animals, testing various cures and vaccines for human use. Following the rise of superheroes and the One Week War, however, the facility was redirected to developing top-secret "countermeasures" against these metahumans, should the population be threatened again.
For the next five years, Charles would work on various bioweapons. Originally, they'd tested the weapons on animals, but to his shock and surprise, the project shifted to human testing, on prison inmates sentenced to death. He was horrified and partially disgusted by this course of action, but still convinced in the project's intentions, Charles continued working. This continued until 2025, when the accident occured.
Charles was preparing to test a new virus, one that would re-program cells to instantly become cancerous and attack the body. The man he was about to inject this virus into the biggest behemoth of a man Charles had ever saw. Bulging muscles, tattoos covering his body, you know this man's killed before. Turns out he had an intense fear of needles. No amount of sedation they could have gave him that day would have been enough to stop him from breaking free of his bonds and stabbing Charles with the needle.
The needle punctured his hazmat suit, and the virus entered his body. At first, Charles collapsed and screamed from the pain of his cells being re-written and eating each other. Then, for a few moments, there was nothing. No thought or consciousness. A moment after that, Charles was back, still laid on the floor, his collegues staying as far from his body as they could while a security team was restraining the inmate.
But now, Charles had a certain... hunger.
His body morphed at an impossible shape and he'd burst from the hazmat, this form rushing the nearest guard and tearing him open, the cells breaking off Charles and entering his gaping wounds, eating him from the inside-out. The rest of the team open-fired, but this monster was too quick, killing them all one-by-one and feasting on the remains in seconds, nothing left of them but the torn clothes and weapons.
The inmate tried to escape this formless beast, but he too was cut down and devoured. It was as if on instinct. The scientists on the other end of the room were frantically trying to leave, but the room was sealed by security glass until the biohazard was contained. Taking this moment to gather his thoughts, Charles pulled himself back together: he'd formed his head, then his chest and arms, then his legs, then started working on the details such as his hair and face, his hands and feet, his fingers and toes. It was all second nature to him.
And when he'd gazed upon his terrified coworkers with his reformed eyes, all he saw was his next meal.
A few minutes of bloodcurdling screams and then a few more of silence, Charles had finally had his hunger sated enough to think clearly. He was horrified. He'd just killed over a dozen people. Why?! What had he become?! He couldn't live with himself. He'd looked inside himself, thinking on what he'd do, when he heard the voices. The memories of the people he'd killed, all playing at once inside his head. All of them synced to his killing frenzy. Replaying over and over, because he couldn't stop thinking about it. That's when he'd snapped.
Charles was a monster. It's what he was now. He had to embrace it. To give in to the hunger. It was natural now. It was him now. He was the Virus.
After morphing his hand into a heavy fist, and a couple hard pounds, Virus broke the security glass, proceeding to slaughter the entire complex. His cells were happy, so he was happy, laughing as he tore through the staff, absorbing them. He'd entered areas that before he didn't have clearance for, finding a few projects about giving powers to normal humans.
Not only did the test subjects give him more power, but according to the cells, they were delicious.
After cleaning the entire facility, Virus escaped, leaving behind nothing but his inhibitions.
Optional information
Virus can only assimilate organic substances. He can't anything artificial.
Potential Weaknesses:
Destroying every cell in Virus' body.
Cutting off his food supply, causing the cells to eventually eat themselves.
Having him eat something/someone with genetic defects or disadvantages, causing him to purge the defected cells.
A cure for the man-made virus that has taken over Charles.

@CaptainSullyAlright, much improved! Unfortunately, it's been brought to my attention that your character has the same first name (Leo) as another player's character. He would like you to change it, to avoid confusion.
There's one other thing, but I'll save it for PM.

@CaptainSullyVery, very nicely done! Thank you for being so patient and accepting of the changes we asked of you! It shows a lot of character on your part. I'm looking forward to RPing with you!
Ricky is accepted.
Unfortunately, I cannot accept your villain, as it's against the rules to make your own hero's villains. I'm sure one of our other players would be interested in making a villain for you, however!

@Blackstripe it's no problem. At the end of the day it's your story so my character needs to fit into it 
Superhero/villain Name: Thesis
Civilian Name: Ammutseba
Origin city/Planet: She was born inside a star, her Mother, who had been eaten by her Father.
Hometown: She falls through a dimensional rift, and lands somewhere in the Himalayas.
Sex: None, but she likes female pronouns because they sound smoother.
Race:She does not know what kind of question this is.
Height: 9’ 5”
Weight: Her weight is incalculable
Age: Time is not measured where she is from, but she assumes over many, many millennia.
Birth Date: ---
--------
Costumed Appearance:
Civilian Appearance: Same as costumed appearance.
Icon: A unicursal hexagram with an eye in the center.
Costumed Personality: Ammutseba has a demeanour in many ways like a child. She knows very little of the world around her, but is eager to learn. While understanding little of the world around her, she has a deep understanding of things beyond this world.
Civilian Personality: There is no difference.
Super abilities:
-Skills:
Beyond Human intelligence
-Powers:
Self originated and cosmically separate from everything, she is still but an infant of the form she has created. She is constantly learning, shifting, and creating herself over.
Telepathy - She uses telepathy as her main form of communication, as most of the words that come out of her mouth are incomprehensible at best and excruciatingly painful to beings of this dimension. However she can only communicate on a surface level, and any attempts to penetrate further into the mind will melt the targets consciousness. Those foolhardy enough to delve into her mind lose all semblance of sanity.
Word Manifestation - She can create by speaking certain words from her dimension, very similar to spell casting.
Superhuman strength - She can lift and withstand without effort, weights and forces up to a ton. Force beyond that will harm her, and weight beyond that is more of a challenge.
Intangibility - She can control, somewhat unpredictability, her presence in this dimension, allowing her to phase through physical objects.
Telekinesis - She can influence, manipulate, and control objects with her mind.
-Gadgets: None.
-Weapons: None at this time.
Civilian Occupation: None at this time.
Biography---------
Character History/Origin: Past the furthest rings, far from the light of any sun, and beyond the thought of reality, an Old God fell into blackness. The dark twisted him past knowledge of himself, and twisted and twisted beyond time. His form emerged from the darkness, if a form it could be called, his surface moved as if formless, a misty, watery depth full of devouring, and devoid of any full thing.
He harrowed across the universe, consuming worlds and stars, growing more powerful, and becoming less of something measurable. The universe grew small in his insatiable shadow, until finally he consumed the last Green Sun. With the death of the last Green Sun life outside of him ceased to exist, and the rings of the universe collapsed. But in the heart of the Green Sun was life yet still. She had felt the death of her sisters, and prepared. As her light began to die, eyes opened in her heart.
The eyes blinked and slowly found their own hunger. In the dying light of their mother, they hunted the worlds, dead or dying, in the stomach of their father. There they lived in a glow, until they found knowledge of themselves, and a knowledge of time. They floated in the stomach and consumed, growing stronger, growing full, all the while the glow grew dimmer.
Outside of her, her Father grew ever larger, filling up the space in the universe, pressing against the walls of it. He grew too large for the universe to hold, his hunger uncontrollable, eating apart the walls that held him. Inside his stomach, the bits or dimensional energy floated like fractals of light, crack shaped windows into other dimensions.
The last of the Green Light faded, the New Eyes, drawn to the new, star-like, twinkling light, passed through a window, and tumbled into a new world.

=========
Superhero/villain Name: Hawkegirl
Civilian Name: Rebekah Hall (Beka)
Origin city/Planet: Cairo, Egypt
Hometown: Coast City, California
Sex: female
Race: Thanagerian
Height: 6' 3"
Weight: 187 lbs
Age: 40 Birth Date: August 16th, 1985
Tier: lowish intermediate tier, can bench a car
--------
Costumed Appearance: Beka wears BDU camo pants and military work boots when in costume, and her Silver belt is always on with her police baton in it, costume or not. She wears very baggy t shirts with the sleeves and back cut out of them when in costume and always has her Jessie made Hawk mask, featuring her HUD systems. The sleeves being removed is purely an aesthetic choice, although Beka will claim "tactical advantage" when asked. She tends towards black camo for her pants and white t shirts. Her belt has a small loop in it for her Baton.
Civilian Appearance: Beka used to be a fairly conservative person, but the newfound freedom of supers becoming public (and her dismissal from the Police) has driven her to be more self confident and try on a different style. As such, Beka can usually be found in tight jeans and tank tops or t shirts and denim jackets. She always wears boots, no matter the occasion. The Silver belt is always on her person, though it seems to alter slightly to match the outfit. Once she gained a position as front desk woman/security for Jessie's VRcade, Beka donned a name tag and a baseball cap with the logo, but seems to wear whatever she throws on to work. Her (stolen) police baton is always on her person, easily concealed by folding.
Icon: n/a??? maybe the wings???
Costumed Personality: Beka is very brusque and comes off as cold and sarcastic in costume. She tries to be completely unrecognizable from her normal persona which tends to be carefree and a bit wild. She tends to have a bit more anger when in costume, but stays for the most part razor sharp in terms of detail and execution of a mission. she has a very dark sense of humor, and lives for sass.
Civilian Personality: Beka can easily put on a "customer service" persona during work hours. The only change from this work facade is in the presence of Jessie, whom she lives to sass. Beka tends to play it off, but cares deeply for the tiny family she has made and will do anything to keep them happy. She tends to show her affections in a snarky, almost harsh manner but ultimately is a secret softie. Inside her mind, however, Beka is always looking out for signs of larger trouble, and her inner thoughts and feelings tend towards the pessimistic. Now that she has found this family of hers, she fully intends to keep them safe.
Super abilities: Flight via wings, enhanced eyesight and hearing, thermal regulation (to a point), prolonged lifespan due to alien physiology, super strength
-Skills: Military/police training, krav maga and hand to hand combat training, some gun training
-Powers: flight, superstrenght
-Gadgets: Nth metal belt (neuroreactive, changes shape based on the wearers dress requirements), Nth metal Baton (looks like a folding police baton, still has the power to negate magic), police issue handcuffs, JESSIETECH MASK
Jessietech mask abilities: infra red and night vision imaging, photo capability for stakeouts, X-ray vision, motion detection, the ability to highlight and track targets up to a certain distance, and an always-on internet connection so she can pull up Youtube and chill if she wants. (which she frequently abuses for in fight theme music and tinder)
-Weapons: Nth metal Baton, tazer, can of MACE (get it?)
Civilian Occupation: Former Police, former Military, currently employed as a Sales technician/ security officer at
Biography---------
Character History/Origin:
Beka was born in Cairo and raised there with her mother until she was ten years old. her mother Leila was a member of the Egyptian police force, and was fairly strict with Beka, enforcing a curfew and a tight study schedule. Studious and stubborn, Beka breezed through her schoolwork and would then use her free time to explore. She often found herself climbing to the tallest spires of churches and mosques to watch the daily goings on of the city. This resulted in scolding and punishment from her mother, who made quite an effort to keep her grounded. Beka was home tutored, not really getting much socialization from other kids her age; choosing instead to spend her time hanging around her next door neighbors pigeon coop. Three days before her tenth birthday, Beka's mother gave her a gift wrapped in gold paper. Inside were her mothers Silver belt and Baton, which Leila was never seen without. Beka was told that she would need to keep them with her always as they would protect her from harm. That night Leila went out on routine patrol and was never heard from again. She had left a note at the station, saying simply that she "must return home" and leaving contact information for Beka's father John.
Beka was flown to California and dropped into the care of her father and his wife and family. john was not very happy at the new addition to his family, taking very little part in the care of his daughter, and his wife was not much better. Beka finds out during puberty that once she takes her belt off at night she begun to develop wings, disappearing again once the belt was on. Beka immediately realized she had ZERO time for that, and begun wearing the belt constantly, realizing its form seemed to shift with her outfit. Beka was often overlooked or straight up ignored during the daily routine, and she spent her teenage years in and out of trouble with her parents for fighting and sneaking out. Her father enrolled her in a military education school in hopes of "instilling some discipline" into her, and the physical training and strict routine helped to get her mind back on track. the belt stayed with her, keeping her "secret" from the world. She decided to enlist after graduation, and completed two tours of duty with the Army.After retiring due to a minor injury, Beka remembered how much good her mother did as an officer and decided to follow in the same footsteps. She enrolled in the police academy immediately, hoping to feel closer to her mother. She currently spends her nights Vigilanting, trying to do as much good with her powers as she can with her badge.
POST TIMESKIP:
Finding it harder during the last five years to try and balance the stress of both a full time job with the CCPD and her vigilante work on the side, Beka made a number of mistakes (including not finishing the mysterious atm thief cases she had been working on for two years) and was demoted to desk duty. Becoming increasingly frustrated by her lack of *actual crimestopping*, Beka spent longer times away from the desk and eventually was caught on tape by the chief of police. Beka officially resigned her position as an officer due to work related stress. She spent months trying to find a job suited to her skills and affording the time to help her city, but came up short and was evicted from her apartment. Turning to the only person in the city who still had dealings with her was her only option.

--------
Costumed Appearance: Beka wears BDU camo pants and military work boots when in costume, and her Silver belt is always on with her police baton in it, costume or not. She wears very baggy t shirts with the sleeves and back cut out of them when in costume and always has her Jessie made Hawk mask, featuring her HUD systems. The sleeves being removed is purely an aesthetic choice, although Beka will claim "tactical advantage" when asked. She tends towards black camo for her pants and white t shirts. Her belt has a small loop in it for her Baton.
Civilian Appearance: Beka used to be a fairly conservative person, but the newfound freedom of supers becoming public (and her dismissal from the Police) has driven her to be more self confident and try on a different style. As such, Beka can usually be found in tight jeans and tank tops or t shirts and denim jackets. She always wears boots, no matter the occasion. The Silver belt is always on her person, though it seems to alter slightly to match the outfit. Once she gained a position as front desk woman/security for Jessie's VRcade, Beka donned a name tag and a baseball cap with the logo, but seems to wear whatever she throws on to work. Her (stolen) police baton is always on her person, easily concealed by folding.
Icon: n/a??? maybe the wings???
Costumed Personality: Beka is very brusque and comes off as cold and sarcastic in costume. She tries to be completely unrecognizable from her normal persona which tends to be carefree and a bit wild. She tends to have a bit more anger when in costume, but stays for the most part razor sharp in terms of detail and execution of a mission. she has a very dark sense of humor, and lives for sass.
Civilian Personality: Beka can easily put on a "customer service" persona during work hours. The only change from this work facade is in the presence of Jessie, whom she lives to sass. Beka tends to play it off, but cares deeply for the tiny family she has made and will do anything to keep them happy. She tends to show her affections in a snarky, almost harsh manner but ultimately is a secret softie. Inside her mind, however, Beka is always looking out for signs of larger trouble, and her inner thoughts and feelings tend towards the pessimistic. Now that she has found this family of hers, she fully intends to keep them safe.

Biography---------
Character History/Origin:
Beka was born in Cairo and raised there with her mother until she was ten years old. her mother Leila was a member of the Egyptian police force, and was fairly strict with Beka, enforcing a curfew and a tight study schedule. Studious and stubborn, Beka breezed through her schoolwork and would then use her free time to explore. She often found herself climbing to the tallest spires of churches and mosques to watch the daily goings on of the city. This resulted in scolding and punishment from her mother, who made quite an effort to keep her grounded. Beka was home tutored, not really getting much socialization from other kids her age; choosing instead to spend her time hanging around her next door neighbors pigeon coop. Three days before her tenth birthday, Beka's mother gave her a gift wrapped in gold paper. Inside were her mothers Silver belt and Baton, which Leila was never seen without. Beka was told that she would need to keep them with her always as they would protect her from harm. That night Leila went out on routine patrol and was never heard from again. She had left a note at the station, saying simply that she "must return home" and leaving contact information for Beka's father John.
Beka was flown to California and dropped into the care of her father and his wife and family. john was not very happy at the new addition to his family, taking very little part in the care of his daughter, and his wife was not much better. Beka finds out during puberty that once she takes her belt off at night she begun to develop wings, disappearing again once the belt was on. Beka immediately realized she had ZERO time for that, and begun wearing the belt constantly, realizing its form seemed to shift with her outfit. Beka was often overlooked or straight up ignored during the daily routine, and she spent her teenage years in and out of trouble with her parents for fighting and sneaking out. Her father enrolled her in a military education school in hopes of "instilling some discipline" into her, and the physical training and strict routine helped to get her mind back on track. the belt stayed with her, keeping her "secret" from the world. She decided to enlist after graduation, and completed two tours of duty with the Army.After retiring due to a minor injury, Beka remembered how much good her mother did as an officer and decided to follow in the same footsteps. She enrolled in the police academy immediately, hoping to feel closer to her mother. She currently spends her nights Vigilanting, trying to do as much good with her powers as she can with her badge.
POST TIMESKIP:
Finding it harder during the last five years to try and balance the stress of both a full time job with the CCPD and her vigilante work on the side, Beka made a number of mistakes (including not finishing the mysterious atm thief cases she had been working on for two years) and was demoted to desk duty. Becoming increasingly frustrated by her lack of *actual crimestopping*, Beka spent longer times away from the desk and eventually was caught on tape by the chief of police. Beka officially resigned her position as an officer due to work related stress. She spent months trying to find a job suited to her skills and affording the time to help her city, but came up short and was evicted from her apartment. Turning to the only person in the city who still had dealings with her was her only option. Beka went to Jessie and begrudgingly asked for help in finding a profession and was given a spot on the payroll running the {AR}Cade. Jessie also offered up the above shop apartment for Beka to use, as long as rent was paid. Beka now works for Jessie helping to run the Arcade as well as being undercover security for the not so legal dealings that the storefront hides within. having found a (fellow asshole) friendship with Jessie and Judas, Beka finally was able to fit her work and her desire to keep the city safe into one working plan. now she just has to keep the city safe.

Costumed Personality: See below
Civilian Personality: Aelia is a proud member of the ancient House of Harlow, and strives to always carry herself with an air of regal dignity. Well-mannered and generally polite, she nevertheless tends to inwardly look down upon those who are not Magi like herself. For normal humans this takes the form of mere dismissal rather than any kind of disdain. For metahumans, whom she considers to be unstable attempts to imitate Magi, she takes a much harsher stance.
Despite this, Aelia is not unreasonable—she can acknowledge worthy and noble individuals of any race, and is ultimately a kind hearted individual despite her austere manner. She is a deeply passionate aesthete who adores all things art, with theatre and opera being at the very top of her list of hobbies.
Due to her family’s reputation, and her own status as a prodigy, she feels immense pressure to live up to her full potential and honour the legacy of her House. Aelia is extremely confident—perhaps even arrogant—in her abilities, which can occasionally lead to her underestimating her opponent’s. She takes failure harshly, feeling that any inadequacy on her part will bring shame upon her family’s noble name.

-Skills:
Aelia is considered a prodigy of without peer, perhaps the greatest since old Myrddin himself. Her abilities with the arcane arts easily surpass skilled Magi twice her age or more.

Biography---------
Character History/Origin: Aelia Marcella Harlow was born into the ancient and powerful noble House of Harlow, an aristocratic family that’s origins stretch back to the Saxon invasions of Roman Britain in the fifth century CE. Quite possibly the single oldest still existing family in the world, their formidable command over the arcane arts has ensured the continuous growth of their wealth and power throughout the ages. Even as the leylines began to dry, the Harlow’s simply became subtler in their spellcraft.
Even from an early age, Aelia displayed an extraordinary connection to the leylines that flow through our reality. Barren as they were, she was nevertheless able to draw upon every ounce of their remaining power to cast spells that Magi many decades her senior would struggle with. This excited her parents, who were eager to cultivate their daughters’ natural talents so that she might one day further the interests of Harlow.
When the new Wizard was unexpectedly chosen and leylines were once more flooded with magic, Aelia’s powers naturally grew exponentially, as did every Homo Magi’s. Her family’s company, Harlow Enterprises, was quick to take advantage of this new surge of arcane energy, beginning a global initiative to harness the power of magic into a renewable energy source. Following the One Week War and the devastation it brought to the Earth, their efforts were seen as all the more vital.
As Harlow Enterprises helped to spear the reconstruction efforts with their magi-technological innovations, Aelia worked hard to complete her primary education. Graduating from high school at the age of fourteen, she just recently earned her bachelor’s degree in arcane engineering at Harlow University in Essex.
Facing stiffer competition in the United States than elsewhere due to rival families such as the Kasimir’s, Aelia’s father sent her overseas to their company’s American branch in San Francisco to assist her uncle, Markus Harlow, in dominating the energy and reconstruction markets there as they have in most other parts of the world.
Aelia, however, felt that her magical abilities could perhaps be put to a greater use than simply manipulating the most naïve consumer base in the first world. For the past six years she had watched as masked heroes—including the Wizard herself—used their powers for the betterment of society. Even the metahumans, with their wild and inferior discount “magic”, had proven that they could make a difference.
How could she, therefore, as a bonafide magical prodigy and Harlow, do anything less? Her honour demanded at least that much from her.

Biography---------
Character History/Origin: Ophelia Simone Helvetica Angelo-Blythe was born Theresa Darke. Never having met her birth parents, her earliest memories were made in an orphanage, playing with old dolls. All the clothes she ever got were hand me downs, and all the toys she ever played with were already broken. She grew up watching old Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, and Marilyn Monroe movies. She loved the glamour, the elegance, how beautiful those girls were, no matter what they were doing. They looked gorgeous while they danced and shopped and cried dramatically on their divans. She just wanted to be like them, someone people doted on, a princess, or a movie star, not a little orphaned girl, who felt alone.
Twelve year old Theresa woke up one November day in a white room, light seemingly emanating from the walls. It wasn't very big, just enough space for her to be comfortable. Although confused, she felt safe, at ease. That was the day she gained her powers. She learned she had the ability to teleport herself and other objects into a pocket dimension. It seemed to grow to accommodate whatever it was she needed to store inside it. Time also seemed to move differently inside it, once something was stored inside it, it stopped aging. She slowly learned more and more uses for it, and learned how to teleport by passing into the dimension, which seemed to sit on top of normal space, and passing out of the dimension where she wanted to teleport.
She eventually began shoplifting with the aid of her powers.
One day she tried to steal the watch off a con artist on the street, but got caught. The con-man, who she would eventually come to know as Jude, saw an opportunity in her powers. Jude took her under his wing, teaching her all sorts of tricks. She had an affinity for thievery even without her powers. With Jude’s help she began to build up a network of criminal contacts, making sure she’d always have the people she needed to get whatever she wanted. The contacts, in turn, made sure they had her to get whatever they wanted. A quid pro quo. Slowly but surely she made a name for herself, moving from small jobs to bigger and riskier ones. She could stash fine pieces of art or clothing away with but a brush of a finger. She could teleport into vaults, and disappear out of them with armfulls of precious stones.
At 18 years old she took two new names. She created her public persona of Neo Riche, a dashing and chic thief in the night. And changed her legal name to Ophelia Simone Helvetica Angelo-Blythe, erasing the drab orphaned girl whose clothes never fit, and inventing her new life as a posh and glamorous socialite with a mysterious past. She spends her day flirting with potential suitors and gossiping with her fellow it-girls, and her nights in meetings with crime bosses looking to procure a Degas for their private gallery.

Biography---------
Character History/Origin: Gerwazy always was an outsider. Out-casted because of his heritage, abused by his family because of his wings, you name it, he went though it. So at the age of 10, he ran away, squatting from house to house. Until he came across a teacher in New York by the name of James Tudtud. James taught Gerwazy the discipline of hand to hand combat and how to fight with a knife. It was at this stage in his life did Gerwazy notice that he had enhanced perception. He always noticed that he saw things "faster" than other people and could react quicker, but he never thought of it as his metahuman power. He currently lives in Gotham, in a shabby apartment building, where he hones his techniques in secret by day, and fighting crime & rescuing people under the name "Archangel" by night.
NOTE: I do not know his power level. I mean, his only power is to fly with wings and enhanced perception, but he is the best at martial arts.

So at the age of 10, he ran away, squatting from house to house. Until he came across a teacher in New York by the name of James Tudtud. James taught Gerwazy the discipline of hand to hand combat and how to fight with a knife. It was at this stage in his life did Gerwazy notice that he had enhanced perception. He always noticed that he saw things "faster" than other people and could react quicker, but he never thought of it as his metahuman power. He currently lives in Gotham, in a shabby apartment building, where he hones his techniques in secret by day, and fighting crime & rescuing people under the name "Archangel" by night.
NOTE: I do not know his power level. I mean, his only power is to fly with wings and enhanced perception, but he is the best at martial arts.

@JrVader Hey there, you're pretty new to the guild and probably just feeling out a few RPs to see what's what, so I do apologize for the slight delay in touching base with you. I've had a little bit of family stuff going on this week, so understandably distracted from everything.
In regards to your CS, I've got a few little "concerns" that I would like some back and forth with you on if you're still intent on joining. I'll enumerate them for ease of conversation.
1: Not that it's entirely too much of an issue per se since we are in the casual section, but your CS is a little lacking in terms of detail and depth. Granted, you get the point across in regards to your character concept and what you want to do with them, but for what you have I feel there could be so much more there to flesh them out and make them a living character in our world. As an example, you have a character with a Polish first name, pseudo-Greek last name, from Costa Rica. That alone has a spin on there that should make someone stop and go "Wait what?" and provide up some ample opportunities to expand his history, but... There's nothing.
2: On terms of power level and your character's skills, I think we should really look it over carefully and see where he fits in with other heroes. Normally I would advise against this for someone potentially new to RP(I don't know your background or skill, so won't comment), but we've got a fairly decent group here going and a lot of times there's instances where we'll throw a collab together and get a neat event going for the entire playerbase to see and have a good time with. On the very first post there's an explanation of how the tiers work, so I would advise looking it over a little more and seeing where Archangel fits into that. Secondly on this point, I would strongly advise either clarification on your statement of: "... he is the best at martial arts." or to perhaps back away on such an absolute stance. We have more than a few characters who are either naturally gifted, or have supernatural abilities in such things, and as policy we really try not to have absolutes set in stone with such things.
3: Regarding his personality as a "Silent Hero" archetype, I am personally incredibly wary of this. Such things are a little difficult to pull off properly even for experienced roleplayers, as these characters often end up doing their own thing for most of the RP for various reasons. Either they are presented as characters that others simply do not wish to interact with, or the player themself has no desire to interact with others, and I've seen it far too many times result in a player posting a few times with this kind of character, getting little interaction and then leaving the RP because of it. Now as said, I don't know you personally and whether or not you may know what you are doing with such archetypes, but I would really prefer to see a lot more backing up Archangel before I would feel comfortable giving a go-ahead on him. There are many ways that you can make such a thing work of course, in ways of perhaps he's normally an incredibly insular lone-wolf who has always had to depend on himself, but finds that he is increasingly needing to rely on others and has to work out this change over the course of an arc or two. That's just one example out of many, but in the end, I would really just like to see a little more meat on the CS to back up the archetype or present possible plot arcs if that is the direction that you truly desire to go with.
