[OOC] Champions of Engine City

[Omega Man]

In a world where new alien species are being discovered almost weekly, where superhumans are becoming more and more of a thing, nothing could prepare the heroes [or Champions] of Engine City for the radioactive mayhem of the villain called Tox once he exploded over the east end of Engine City. Hundreds of civilians were infected with a strange toxic mutagen born from the DNA of the villain and transformed into melted looking men and women with enhanced strength and speed however many of them are unable to see clearly. The authorities had no choice but to quarantine the area, but even with this five square block area off limits to the general public crime and injustice plagues the city. Will you join the fight for truth and justice, or play on the other side of the fence as an anti-hero or villain? Will you be a Champion?

[example of 'melted people']

Name - Mitchell Alan Lane, 'Mal' to his friends
Alias - Fastlane
Age - 22
Powers - super speed of 390 mph, a little over a mile in ten seconds; enhanced healing; the suit provides solar energy absorbsion leading into creating hard light construct roads, bridges, tracks, etc...
Weaknesses - while he heals about ten times faster than a regular human, Mal has problems healing from more serious injuries. If his bones break he needs to set them quickly before they heal wrong, same goes for anything more than a flesh wound that would involve surgery. His powers also greatly depend on how much he eats and drinks [he HAS to stay hydrated] as well as absorbing sunlight as often as possible.
Personality - impulsive, street-smart, honorable
Appearance -
BRIEF Bio - Mal was your average 18 year old until he took a trip to the lake with some friends one night after school his senior year at Thomas Sweeney High School. After a lightning storm poured through Engine City the final bolt of lightning struck the water leaving an odd smoke coming off of it. After dipping his feet in the water for half the night after passing out following some under aged drinking, Mal woke with super speed. After coming into contact with fellow speedster albeit a lot shorter Richard "Tyke" Bartlett, Mal met Dr. Theodore Hall who developed the hard light construct tech and solar energy absorbing/processing suit. Coming up with the Fastlane identity, Hall let Mal test the suit over the last six months however he was one of the people in Carter Hills during the incident. Hall's safety and wherabouts are unknown. But Fastlane will do everything in his power to help with the survivors.
Notes - Mal has done occasional vigilante work the last few years as a blur in the human eye, he's been Fastlane for roughly six months in-costume. Notable monuments in Engine City include Battery Park, Engine City Speedway [ECS for short], Jefferson Heights, Warpath River, Engine City Technical Community College, Thomas Sweeney High School, etc...

[SneakyPixel]

Name - Damien Kane
Alias - Phoenix
Age - 17

Powers - Has the ability to remove (physical) pain through touch, and has a vast knowledge of the human anatomy and medical procedures. (An immensely skilled doctor, basically)

Weaknesses - Can become weak with excessive use of his ability to take away pain, because of the way his brain developed knowledge, when Damien sleeps, his brain completely deactivates until a total of twelve hours are up, he cannot be waken up before then. He is not particularly strong, so he often needs other's help to move obstacles and such when trying to help people in combat.

Personality - Generally introverted, intelligent, can be somewhat bossy when it comes to his work.

Appearance - Damien has a sturdy build, but is actually rather small in size, his height being about 5'9". Because his abilities are often used in combat situations, Damien prefers the simplicity of a button-up shirt and jeans.

Damien

BRIEF Bio - Damien was born to a poor family located in the slums of the city, where the criminals and homeless were often forced to live. His parents were both severely addicted to heroin, and worked every day from dawn to dusk trying to scrounge together the money to feed both him, and their desire for their drugs. His ability to take away pain became prominent when he reached the age of thirteen, and he slowly started to develop knowledge of the human body. With this new revelation, Damien was determined to free his parents of their fatal addictions.

He tried first on his mother, as his father had a disposition to violence. He approached her slowly from behind, she was sitting on an old wooden chair, strung out from her last use, and lightly touched her on the shoulder. She froze up for a moment, then relaxed in the chair, and slowly turned her head to look behind her. She stared, awe-struck, looking at her son.
"How are you doing that?" She whispered, her voice raspy.
"I don't know." Damien replied hesitantly, "How does it feel?"
"Wonderful." She gave him a small smile, turned back around, and after a few long minutes, fell asleep.

As Damien reached the age of sixteen, his ability and knowledge had increased to it's maturity, and he was among the top doctors in the city. He performed surgery on many important people living within the city, including the mayor himself, and was well respected in the medical community, despite being so young. Unfortunately, his success was not appreciated by some, who had worked eight years of their life to try and become as successful as he was. Angry that a teenager had beat them out, they hired a hitman to kill Damien's parents, to try and send him a message. It worked. Damien fled, and went to live in the slums of the city once again, helping the poor without expectation of pay. Feeling like he had found his purpose, he stashed away his wealth for use at a date when he may need it.

[Hawlin]

Name - "Keepa"
Alias - Keter
Age - Appears 18ish (Flight time of the 'birth nexus' ranging around 300 years (Official Creation: upon introduction post))
Powers - 'Keepa', being constructed of a dark mater contained within the crystal they had landed in, Keepa's general mass is able to skirt shadows nearly invisibly to the unwitting eye. Though it shimmers like spilled ink as a tell, Keepa's mass is able to stretch to fill tight corners or fit through tight places (such as under doors or through vent grating or even another person's shadow). Due to the malleability of Keepa's mass, they are capable of forming blades from their mass nearly at a whim, on top of other various weaponized movements or binding those who may be clumsy enough to allow themselves to be snared, simply by stepping on them. There are numerous applications and advantages that having such a form could potentially hold, although these listed are the most common. (Crazy stuff will be run by the GM or AU before posting)

Weaknesses - Considering the dark environment Keepa had adapted to, either from the time spent in the crystal or from wherever they originated, Keepa's mass is highly sensitive to direct light. Sustained exposure calluses the outer layer of their mass, giving it a porcelain smoothness. Unfortunately, it also holds roughly the same durability if not a bit tougher (handle with care). Thankfully, due to the nearly weightlessness of the interior mass, Keepa weighs little more than 20lbs, with most of their weight coming from what clothes they wear and the callused outer layer, making the possibility of damaging themselves simply through walking a non-issue. While locked in this body form, Keepa is susceptible to blunt force which may shatter the shell, exposing more of their mass to the light and being forced to endure the disintegration agony that comes from it and the callusing process. Keepa's mass is gradually restored through the consumption of most carbon-based materials.
Due to the callusing process, Keepa's eyes are burned smooth through the same means. While in body form, Keepa is mostly blind except for an acute style of echolocation.

Personality - Naive, curious, volatile

Appearance

Keepa stands at roughly 5'7, weighing in at roughly 20lbs. They prefer to take a physical form, most of the time, in a manner that more resembles a highly detailed life-sized marionette of androgynous gender with an effeminate male lean; gender being mostly lost to Keepa in their attempt to mimic humans.

BRIEF Bio - Having fallen from the sky, encased in a meteor which had been held together through magnetic means, a large crystal (The size of a moderately sized gazebo) with a dark blue hue crashed through an off-shore wind turbine. The event tore most of the crystal in half, a good portion sinking into the ocean while the rest slid through the surf until running aground. The police were quick to respond, along with light military backup, only to find a crumbling shell of the half of the crystal which was composed of highly impure diamond. The darkness having left the wreck which could have held a modern sedan, the area was quarantined. Calling it quits after a day of combing the beach and utilizing submersible vehicles to search for traces of the contents of the gem, the focus of the police force was redirected to the odd reports of an oddly dressed woman(?) performing vigilantist acts...to which no trace of the original criminal could be found. Murder investigations are underway, but with no fingerprints or any DNA besides that of the shaken would-be victims and their consistent reports of the same person, most of the cases were abandoned. Who really cared about a few missing hooligans?
Notes - Keepa's voice is formed through a construction of flute-like chirps that are used to form words. This is a new concept to them, as the words are often poorly formed, bleeding into a sort of language which seemingly consists of multi-tuned hums and chirps in a drawn-out song-like fashion. Thankfully, interpretation and mimicry are two of Keepa's interests. This isn't to say Keepa cannot speak...only that it will take some work for anything close to English to be produced.
- Keepa is a suspiciously fast learner, bringing into question the original purpose of its arrival.
- The nature or level of sentience Keepa possesses is currently unknown, communication being hit or miss at times (usually miss).

[RumikoOhara]

Name - Elliot Sinclair
Alias - Cypher
Age - 19
Powers -

Omnilingualism

Elli can speak, write, understand and communicate in any language including computer codes, languages they have never been heard before, sign language (even lip-reading), illegible words, and backwards speech and writing with little or no training. She can even communicate with animals or read body language. This ability works by either or both of two faculties:

Enhanced Intelligence

Elli has an intelligence that is significantly above standard genius level intellect. She is gifted with higher mental faculties such as a more powerful memory, better calculation skills, greater reasoning skills, and a more superior learning capacity.

Causality Perception

Elli is able to perceive all cause and effect relations. She can notably deduce the path leading to any effect, allowing her to plan, analyze, and take action with absolute efficiency.
In a fighting situation, she can perfectly adapt to all factors before they even appear, achieving maximum efficiency in offense, defense, and strategy, ensuring optimal success as long as there is the slightest chance.
As a strategist, the she can always achieve optimal results (depending on the means at her disposal), perfectly anticipating all variables and her opponents' every move. These calculations can lead to extremely complicated planning in the long run, which always end up being successful.
She can instantly understand anything by perceiving all the causes/effects it is currently made of, as well as all the previous ones that lead to this state. For example, a simple glance at someone would be enough to learn their nature, personality, history, expectations, strengths, weaknesses, etc. The perception can also be turned to the person's future, its many paths, their probabilities, and the one which will eventually be realized.

Psychometry

Elli obtains historical memories or sensations concerning beings and objects by touching them. With objects she gains the knowledge including the makers, users, and even those who have on passing used the object, and what has been done with it. With living beings or parts of the body she learns their general life-history, but doesn't gain anything of what they were thinking or feeling.

Weaknesses - All of Elli's abilities are mental based and she has no more protection from combat than a normal human

Personality - Friendly, Generous an Odd

Appearance -


BRIEF Bio - Born on the Isle of Wright Elli was your basic Chalk Girl till she went on holiday with her parents to London at the age of 12 years old. They toured all the accepted historical sights and were on the Tower of London tour when the group guide told the story of a Duke who had been held there before his execution and how he'd somehow escaped the Tower which to that day was a mystery.
Elli who'd been acting dazed since her group began the tour walked past the barrier ropes and opened a secret door which no one had ever discovered before then. When asked by her parents why she'd done it she replied "The ghosts showed her how the man escaped"
Her parents laughed it off as one of those strange incidents of youth and continued on with their holiday.
When Elli was 14 she had attended a movie in Cowes where her family now lived an was walking home when she heard an old woman in distress. Hurrying to see if she could help she came upon a distinguished couple one of which was the old woman and the other her unconscious husband. A constable was trying to help but couldn't understand the woman's language.
Elli finds the officers statement strange because to her the woman is perfectly understandable. She tells the constable that her woman's husband suffers from a rare heart condition and that he forgot his emergency medication at their hotel.
The constable retains Elli as a translator as they rush the old man to hospital where they find out her is the father of the Visiting Spanish ambassador. The woman is his mother and she when excited speaks in a mixture of Spanish an Silbo Gomero which comes from La Gomera isle on the coast of Spain. The Ambassador is stunned that Elli can even understand the language much less communicate in it. So grateful is he that he insists that Elli and her parents join him on his official yacht were he awards her for her aid a medal for good citizenship an heroism.
At 15 Elli graduates from school with a perfect score in all her tests and is awarded a scholarship to Cambridge where she continues to shine.
She aces all her entry tests and quickly rises to the top of her class which ever one she might be taking. This leads to exposure to the spot light which she finds she doesn't enjoy at all because of the types of people that wanted to use her talents which she learns to tone down.
She begins to use the pseudonym Cypher when she writes papers to various journals to hide her identity
Cypher becomes quickly responsible for translating many obscure archaeological languages that have bedeviled the discipline for over two centuries or more. She feels happy as her splash becomes a mere ripple on the waters and she's forgotten by all but her peers by the time she turns 18.
She is offered a Generous position to Harvard as a graduate student and accepts thinking it will help to distance herself from her reputation. She quickly makes friends among the others in her class and believes her life has turned around.
The trouble begins that year as well when while visiting Boston a friend of her's is kidnapped by a serial killer and murdered, when asked by her deceased friend's mother if she'd help clear out her effect Elli volunteers and heads to Boston and enters the hotel room.
Try as she might Elli can't help but peek into the room's past using a power she represses most of the time and what she sees shocks her as she watches the whole thing happen before her eyes and sees the Killer.
Knowing that simply saying she saw the Killer using Psychometry won't bring him to justice Elli sets her intellect to work on a solution. She soon formulates a plan of attack that will cause the killer to confess or get sloppy.
She writes using her left hand and making sure not to leave any clues to her identity an sends him a letter detailing her friends an two other girl's murders saying she has evidence on him along with film. She then calls his cell phone using a burner bought for the purpose of catching him and using faked accent tells him that she wrote the letter and now he will do as she commands. She tells him she wants a certain girl murdered an once it's done she'll turn over the evidence, that girl is she.
She then writes herself a letter taking careful pains to forge the killer's hand writing which she's gathered samples of.
She calls the Boston police one night telling them she's received threats from a man claiming to be her friend's killer and shows them the letter.
The police and the Feds are happy when Elli volunteers to risk her life to catch the man and they set up a sting. Her friend's killer is captured three days later and evidence is found in his van linking him to two more murders.
Feeling good after helping bring the bad guy to justice Elli begins applying her talents to other crimes and developing the persona of Cypher as a crime fighter.

Notes -

[Cloud3514]

Name – Jason Atlas
Alias – Black Rider
Age – 32
Powers – None. Normal human in power armor.
Equipment – Power armor: Standard police issue in the 22nd century, Atlas's armor enhances his speed and strength, as well as protects him from small arms fire and creates an environmental seal that can even protect him from a total vacuum for a short amount of time. The armor interfaces with Atlas's retinal signature to prevent unauthorized usage. It also interfaces with Atlas's guns and includes a device that can be activated when someone not wearing the armor tries to hold said guns that electrocutes the gun.

The helmet on his armor has two modes of night vision (active illumination and infared vision) and can record video records. It can also protect against bright flashes and excssively loud sounds, digitally magnify vision and interfaces with Atlas's guns to enhance aim.

Pulse rifle: The 22nd century standard police issue pulse rifle is a laser based weapon with adjustable power levels between “stun” (K.O. an athletic human) to capable of punching clean through a large truck. It also has adjustable fire modes including single, burst (three shot and five shot), fully automatic and spread. The barrel and stock collapse into the weapon's body and stores on the back of the armor. It interfaces with the armor to prevent unauthorized usage.

The rifle also carries an underslung grenade launcher. Atlas carries three of the four ammo varients for this launcher, a bola grenade that deploys a bola that wraps around what it hits, a flash grenade that works just like modern flash bangs, though without the bang and a taser round that does not explode and instead acts as the 22nd century standard police issue taser.

Pulse pistol: The 22nd century standard police issue pulse pistol is a scaled down version of the pulse rifle that sacrifices power and fire modes for reliability. Its power only ranges between “stun” and “kill,” the later of which is about the power of a modern military issue assault rifle, while its fire modes are restricted to single and three round burst. It is stored in a holster on the right leg and interfaces with the armor to prevent unauthorized usage.

Combat Knife: Unlike modern combat knifes, the 22nd century standard police issue combat knife vibrates at a high frequency to greaty enhance cutting power. The cutting power of this knife is enough to cut through a two inch thick plate of steel. The vibroblade functionality can be disabled to conserve power.

Modern motorcycle: It is unknown how Atlas got his hands on this bike and it appears to be unregistered, having no license plate to track. It is a black street bike and it is largely non-noteworthy outside of a modification that, if the bike is moved by someone not wearing Atlas's power armor, drives a stake into the ground to hold it in place.

Weaknesses – All of Atlas's equipment run on independent power and, depending on the item, can take anywhere between 24 and 100 hours to fully recharge with access to modern electricity when drained fully:

Armor: When running at full capacity (strength enhanced enough to lift a small car), the power source can last 15 hours of constant use. Under normal capacity (about 1.5x an olympic level athlete), the power source lasts about 48 hours of constant use. When the armor's power is drained, all enhancements are lost and Atlas's movements become sluggish due to the armor's weight. The armor's power source takes 100 hours to fully charge from fully drained levels.

Rifle: Under full power, the rifle can be fired 10 times before requiring reload. On minimum power, it can last approximately 500 shots. Firing on spread mode approximately doubles power useage. Atlas carries three spare batteries for the rifle, but has several more at his base of operations. Each battery takes about 24 hours to charge from fully drained levels.

Pistol: Under minimum power, the pistol can fire about 500 shots, similar to the rifle, but this number drops to around 100 under full power. It uses the same batteries as the rifle.

Knife: The high frequency vibration can be used for 2 hours straight. The internal battery takes about 48 hours to charge.

Personality – Full of himself
Appearance – Under the armor, Jason Atlas is an athletic man, appropriate for his former profession as a SWAT officer. He stands at a respectable 6'2” and tends to dress very simply, preferring black combat boots, jeans, t-shirts with a small variety of colors and a leather jacket. He tends to wear a black military cap to help hide his face. The dirty blonde hair underneath is short, but unkempt and his eyes are a cold blue.

The armor makes the Black Rider a few inches taller and is painted jet black, with the exception of the primary angular armor panels being outlined with red and a golden eight pointed star embedded in the left side of the chestplate. The helmet is similarly black with a dark red visor.

BRIEF Bio – Born in 2112, Jason Atlas started his career in the police force as a promising rookie. He quickly rose in the ranks and was selected to join the SWAT team, where he earned many commendations and made numerous arrests. He was also noted for never needing lethal force. He was seen as the star of the service and was believed to be in line for commisioner. At least, that's how he appeared in public.

On the side, Atlas had started making connections with local crime lords. He promised them specific protections in exchange for information and targets for easy capture. Under this deal, the crime lords were able to increase their profits in safety, while Atlas's reputation not only went undamaged, but thrived.

However, things went bad for Atlas when the son of one of the main crime lord he worked with decided to dissolve his organization and go clean when his father died. Despite promising to keep quiet, he anonymously leaked evidence against Atlas. Knowing that he would be arrested for his crimes, Atlas fled to his friend's lab, where work was being done on a prototype time machine. He took as much equipment as he could and fled to the past, the only place he would be safe from the authorities of his time.

Atlas took this opportunity to start over and go clean. He painted his armor black, acquired a base of operations (a small apartment in a dangerous part of the city) and a motorcycle to use as transportation and started patrolling the city as a vigilante, being called the Black Rider by local newspapers.

Notes – Though he is clean now, Atlas is still a glory hound and will go out of his way to make particularly spectacular arrests.

[Kablamicus]

Name - Avery North
Alias - Eldritch
Age - 22
Powers - Is able to tap into an external dimension filled with tentacled horrors and other nightmarish creatures. This allows him to:

Channel the energy from this dimension into basic projectiles.

Able to open purple portals to this dimension from which a tentacle will come forth and obey Avery's will.

Enter this dimension where he is substantially more powerful.

Call forth spider-like creatures to defend himself.
Weaknesses - Avery is cowardly and is afraid of conflict or being hurt. Avery can't take people into the dimension without their consent. Avery has no exceptional physical attributes.

Personality - Cowardly, Antisocial, Anxious
Appearance - Avery looks like a rather scrawny boy with jet black hair, his entire build is rather gaunt. Eldritch is often seen simply wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt not opting for a costume due to his desire to be normal. The only physical abnormality that Avery bares is the entirety of his eyes are a deep royal purple that flares whenever he is channeling his abilities.


BRIEF Bio - Born to a devout Christian family Avery was cherished, this was until his powers developed. Upon summoning a tendril of darkness during kindtergarten his parents believed him to be possessed and who could blame them, he was a monster. Avery was transferred to an orphanage where he spent a week before 'the men in white coats' came for him. For several years Avery was subject to several cruel experiments to test the extent of his power. One day during a particularly brutal experiment Avery lashed out destroying the entire facility with a mass of extradimensional tendrils.

Now that Avery's escaped he's a wanted man for the destruction of the facility and won't be able to get his ultimate wish to just be left alone. On the run and trying to clear his name the newspapers have taken to calling him 'Eldritch'

Notes - Although he is essentially a villain at the moment he may have a change of heart if someone were to set him on the right track.

[Omega Man]

After seeing you guys posting real life images I had to find one for Plex. The guy had to have a Gambit-esque quality and I think my dude's got that now. Working on the opening IC post now, just typing this up in between paragraphs.

I put in enough info in the Plex CS you guy's should have a better reference guide for the schools and colleges in Engine City to edit your CS's where needed. I'll see ya'll in-game soon!.

Reposting CS.

Name: Liu Qing (流青)
Alias: Chaotic Blue
Age: 25
Powers: blue-colored chi that she gathers in her hands to strike critical areas; able to turn invisible; various gadgets and tools; lifelong training as a ninja has given her agility and flexibility
Weaknesses: very poor defense; only specializes in close-range combat so she has no long-range moves; Chaotic Blue isn’t suited to heavy combat, preferring to stay in the shadows and cause trouble through subterfuge and espionage
Personality: taciturn; mysterious; able to keep secrets; quiet and doesn’t engage in arguments nor does she ask many questions
Appearance: Chinese woman with very short black hair who likes to wear blue clothes in civilian life. As Chaotic Blue, she wears a mask that covers her mouth and a bodysuit colored ultramarine blue, with belts and holsters to hold her tools and weapons. Her boots and gauntlets are black and have steel patterns of a skull and spine (will draw picture of her later)
BRIEF Bio: Liu Qing was raised in a hidden village of super powered ninjas – mercenaries who worked in the shadows and performed missions for the highest bidders. Through years of extensive training and successful missions, Qing’s emotions were shunted as she witnessed the darkest sides of humanity through her work. Thus, she has no interest in mingling with society unless it pertains to work, and is incapable of seeing the good in others. Her jobs can range from espionage, assassination, information theft, infiltration and sabotage.
The grandmaster saw it fit to send Qing to Engine City and told her to assume an identity. She created the name Chaotic Blue – a blue shadow that exists to cause discord. She infiltrated the city the previous year and has remained here as a Chinese immigrant working at a CEO’s office as a secretary. Even in her day job, Qing remains stoic and professional.
Notes: Originally was my City of Villains character. Her alias is a reference to one of the four demon lords from the Slayers series.

[Hawlin]

Well, at least we have someone who can understand unknown languages. :P
I'll have a post up within 2-3 hours.

[Venom]

Name -Subject-redacted
Alias - Negative zero.
Age -Unknown even to her, appears early 20s
Powers -Cryokinesis,
Augmented strength and reaction time. Martial training in various swords and hand to hand combat.
Weaknesses - Her Cryokinesis has no off switch, her body is naturally at the freezing point.In addition the air around her chills to match her, making a mist forewarn of her approach.
Her augments are surgical implants and changes to her chemical composition.. Her physical strength while impressive comes at the cost of her endurance. She can only do a few swings of her blade at her full strength, after that she has to cool down.
In addition the cost of her increased reaction time, her brain literally heats up. She has little trouble keeping it in check, but as she becomes scared or angry she begins to have headaches and in several cases she 'burns out' and faints.
Personality - Cold. Distant.
Appearance -

I made this..in vector

I dont do real photos, its like im impersonating someone. So I did zero 2.0

BRIEF Bio -
*Some files are spread about the desk, Zero's photo on the top.You know you shouldn't but you can't exactly ask her about her past.*
As supers where becoming more common and the universe was ever expanding. Some men decided to throw out their moral compass and in the name of science find mans limits.Thus the Condemned project was began. The subject was created from the genetic material of a Speedster and one that possessed super strength. Needles to say they had not expected for a Ice wielding infant. As she matured, they began teaching her what they deemed important for mental development leaving out human history and the concepts of creation and identity. Unique to this subject they did all of this through a complex digital display that made up the right side of her holding area. She had no physical contact with any life aside from what had been gone over in the reading material.
At the second cycle the subject was forced into life or death combat scenarios against other subjects. This was to force her natural ability to develope drastically faster using survival as the catalyst. It was only after 15 success that they moved on to the next stage of the project. She was drugged, and they put things all throughout her body to push her past the limitations evolution had put on her. The pain she dealt with would have driven a lesser individual to suicide, not that she had any means to do so. The benefits where seen almost instantly in the next combat test where the subject killed her adversary in 14 seconds.
The next file seems to have skipped and entire sections of the project. However a page in red catches your eye, they introduced her into a environment with non-hostiles, the idea that humans meant her no harm had not occurred to her, as she killed or injured each one of them. The event seemed to be a step in the wrong direction for the project, notes of her growing aggression and rebellion have numerous mentions of the cost to the project.A strange highlight is how subject showed promise with bladed weapons, simply because she seemed to favor using shards of ice to cut through the protective suits of staff.
*Another gap in the logs the amount of time in between seems to be drastic, and it seems the next ones simply go over the mental institutions she has been in and out of. Underneath it all is a sealed black file. Of course you reach for it but the file seems ice over.....You look up into the darkness of the room, a pair of glowing white eyes offer a suggestion that you should probably leave.*

[Hawlin]

The post is done, but I wanted to clear it with Kid, first.

EDIT: Ugh, forgot there isn't a colour system, yet, so I can't do a dual-perspective posting system ~_~

Appearance -

Sraif

Phoebe Jones

BRIEF Bio - Phoebe was an average Psych major at (INSERT LOCAL PUBLIC COLLEGE NAME HERE) when the latest weird catastrophe happened. A piece of "space junk"--as the local media deemed the unrecognizable hunk of metal--crashed in a nearby lake. A good bit of water turned to steam and created some hot fog on campus. Of course, everyone ran out of their classes to see what happened. In the chaos, Sraif managed to swim out of the lake and take over the body of a stray dog. Using the dog as a hiding place, Sraif escaped the "scene of the crime" and ran into the city. Phoebe and Sraif's paths crossed many times, until Sraif took her chance and leapt from the dog's ear to Phoebe's. She forced Phoebe to sleep and told her everything; that she fell out of orbit while observing humans for her thesis (Sraif was working towards a degree in Exobiology.) and crash-landed on Earth, that her species could not survive on their own, and that the dog was an unsuitable host and she really did not want to force her will onto another being. In the dream-state, Phoebe agreed, and after a few shaky weeks of coexistence, they became best friends, and started to fight crime.
Notes - Phoebe uses no weapons, and her costume is a red turtleneck, black ski mask (with holes for eyes and mouth), and sweatpants. She beats up criminals with her bare hands.

[Yog Sothoth]

Name - Tom Charleston
Alias - Phantom
Age -23

Powers -Thanks to the demonic ritual which allowed him to harness his spiritual energy, Tom can see and communicate with spirits of all kinds. he is able to transform himself into a spirit and use their powers such as moving stuff with spiritual energy, flying and phasing through solid objects. he also has the ability shoot beams of spiritual energy which is known as spirit fire and can only harm beings with a soul but he can barely use this ability. all of his abilities stem from being able to control and manipulate spiritual energy that have big reserves in his body. His spiritual energy replenishes itself by gradually absorbing energy from the spirits of all living things and nature.

Weaknesses - his powers become weaker if he is within very close proximity to iron, and he has very little defense against powerful rituals that affect ghost. also since his abilities require spiritual energy to use and Tom only has finite reserves of it, if he spends too much energy on his abilities without waiting for them to replenish then eventually he will run out and his powers begin to feed on his life force which will eventually kill him if he continues to use them while his reserves are empty. Staying intangible for any lengthy periods of time can cost him a lot of energy and even tough he is untouchable he not is protected from mental, supernatural and magical attacks.

Personality - kind, outgoing, lighthearted, determined and loyal.
Appearance - he is about 6 foot 2 in height and is very well built for his age. he has neck length red hair. his costume is a red and black spandex jumpsuit with red on the lower half and black on the top half. on the chest of area of his costume is a red P, and he wears red gloves. when he is in in costume his eyes glow a bright red.

BRIEF Bio - Tom was born to an average family and for most of his childhood he was your average kid, playing with friends and going to school. but when he was sixteen one of his friends asked him to come to an abandon home wear some kids were having a party that would be away from the watching eye of their parents and the authorities. Tom had a feeling like something was off but he could understand so he agreed to go and his friend gave him the address and time the party would be happening. when the night of the party came and he went to the abandoned home, he was horrified to find that instead of it being a party with teenagers, it was an occult gathering. the cult leaders grabbed him before he could run, and he learned that his friend had been a junior member of the cult. they brought him before the cult leader and the man informed him that he was chosen vessel that would house the mighty spirit of Ragulhu do to him having unusually powerful reserves of spiritual energy, an ancient and powerful evil entity that was imprisoned in the otherworld. they placed him on a stone table with demonic carvings on it, and began the ritual which would strip away my soul and replace with the ancient demon. luckily for Tom the first stages of the process channeled the entity's power inside of him and when it mixed with his energy reserves he felt incredible power course through him, his powers were awakened and he found that he could use all the powers of a spirit. he used them to brake free from the ritual and escape the cult. he didn't fight because he still had almost no knowledge of how to use his powers. after that night, Tom could see and communicate with the dead. at first it scared him, but he soon became use to it, and he had to since he was still afraid that the cult would come after him and they most definitely knew where he lived. from then on he knew that he would have to master his new powers and use them to fight against the evils of this world and the next and thus was born the hero known as Phantom. today he still fights many battles against evil supernatural forces.
Notes -

[Bosco]

Name: Jason Argino
Alias: Quasi (Short for Quasimodo)

Age: 21
Personality: Overly Confident, Brave, Subject to Hubris
Gender: Male
Powers/Abilities: Rubber body, extremely durable, may change appearance

Weaknesses: Melts in extreme heat, freezes in the cold, must take "medicine" every 72 hours to stay alive. If frozen, Quasi's body can be broken apart and the only way to repair him is to melt him and then allow Quasi to regain form which takes a great deal of time. Jason was afraid of getting hurt but as Quasi only few things can. His greatest fear has become the cold as it is his most dire weakness.

Equipment: He carries only his medicine

Brief Bio: A skilled kick-boxer and son of the power armor super hero Mastermind, Jason was a young man who wanted nothing more than to fight crime like his father. Attempting to do so, he was caught between his father and his nemesis, The Mad Doctor who hit him with a mysterious weapon that turned him into living rubber. Now with his father missing, Jason tries once again at being a vigilante in order to save him and once and for all stop the Mad Doctor.

Long Bio

Jason is the son of the superhero, Mastermind, a man whose unmatched intellect led him to crafting a suit of power armor and taking up the life of a vigilante. Jason's mother died 5 years ago when she was murdered by The Mastermind's nemesis, The Mad Doctor. Jason only shared an eye color and a lack of powers with his mother while the rest of him was much more like his father. Even if he did not have the heroic intelligence he still had the heroic initiative to hunt down criminals like the man who murdered his mother. While his father was away Jason learned how to fight by taking classes to become a kick-boxer and once he completed the courses available to him he felt his abilities as a warrior were at their peak. The day came where Jason's urge to fight evil surpassed his fears of being wounded by it again.

Little did Jason know what he was about to face on his first day of being a vigilante. That morning he tried to follow his fathers power suit to a distress call, but the Mastermind's machine was too fast and went out of sight over the local slums. Jason's attempts to find his father in the slums seemed pointless and the longer he stayed the further he became lost. It was chance that put Jason at the fight between The Doctor and The Mastermind and it was his being there that would save his father. Their battle was fast and fierce, each pulling a gadget or gizmo to counter the others and Jason suddenly realized he was in deep over his head. It was then that the Doctor pulled out an unknown gadget and fired it at Mastermind. Jason would not remember what happened next but was told that the gadget was supposed to turn Mastermind's suit into rubber on contact, but Jason stood in the way and he was changed instead. It is unclear how the Mastermind did it but he managed to turn the rubber statue into a rubber boy. A month after his change the Doctor would once again surprised the Mastermind, but this time he did not have anyone to take the bullet. Unclear if his father is dead or alive, Jason took up the vigilante mantel once more in order to find the Mad Doctor and find out what happened to his father.

Appearance:

Quasi

[Omega Man]

Since Quasi was the last CS posted I decided to make a micro for him with a little more heroic looking battle suit. I mean his Dad's a superhero so he'd have a suit already made or made easy enough. Anyway, hope ya like it Bosco....



~KL~

[Omega Man]

Anybody else want a micro? Just finished one for Phantom, but I figured I could do better than a P on his chest.



Hope you like it! I was going for a Dr. Strange mixed with a Red Lantern and came up with that. Almost gave him a tattered cloak and hood.
