Personality
Brody is a very cautious man due to his power, which sometimes makes him regret his actions and second guess everything he does. He has however accepted the limits of his power and tries to pull everything useful out of it. Even during out of action, Brody spends a lot of time going through safety and precaution protocols he has created and making sure that no important data goes lost.
Backstory
Brody had a relatively normal life for someone living in a world with 200 years of superpower history, until during one bad day a series of mistakes that could have all been avoided, caused him to gain the power of enhanced hindsight. Now, everytime he perceives or otherwise becomes aware of an accident, mistake or similar bad situation, he'll instantly know everything about how the situation could, would or should have been avoided. Brody, however learned to use his talent to the fullest. After retiring from his prior job as a Journalist, Brody became a full-time consultant superhero, providing combat, rescue and other protocols for numerous public, private and superhero organizations.
Although not the most popular of superheroes, Failsafe has a reputation of caution. It is probably because of it that he received an invitation from Hugo Powers to join H.E.R.O and bring some of that caution to the company. Brody leaves once again to consult another group of heroes. Only time will tell, if the lessons will stick.
PowerHindsight
Brody's power is to know how a situation or dilemma could have been prevented after it's happened. It's applications for combat are almost non-existent, but Brody has learned to use it for other purposes. As his power gives him perfect hindsight, Brody's visions give him knowledge that he didn't have prior to it, such as building designs. With this Brody can break into security systems and gather information, provided he has failed once. He has also trained himself to fight using the knowledge granted to him by his power. Failsafe's fighting style is highly efficient, designed to minimize enemy's chances to dodge or counter-attack. He is also a pretty good shot even without the power correcting his aim.

"A strapping young man"William, standing at a tall 6'5", is tall, athletically built, and aesthetically pleasing young man. Flowing blonde hair, chiseled physique, an elitist aura. Those are some of the things that William exude outwardly. However, in truth, William is a big softy. He enjoys walks on the beach, a nice cup of chai, and puppies. Something his comrades might pick on him about.PSYCHOLOGY
"I just want to serve the world."
MAIN GOAL ⫻ To be a fitting hero.
PHILOSOPHY ⫻ Everyone deserves a second chance.
SEXUALITY ⫻ Heterosexual.
FEARS ⫻ Heights. And Spiders.
OCCUPATION ⫻ Hero. Part-time barista
SIDE ⫻ Heroes.BACKSTORYWilliam, being born in Scandinavia, was raised to endure. His family was the definition of middle class. IKEA furniture adorned his house, and they still do. He went to school, played with friends, and grew up in relative peace.
Around age 15, during what would equate to the 9th grade, his powers manifested. One afternoon, he was out playing football (soccer) with his friends. Being that he was a tall 6'1" at the time, he was relegated to being the goalkeeper. It just so happened that the kids his friends and himself were playing with played for the local under 16 club. So, to say that they were far and beyond better than William and his friends would be an understatement.
William was getting peppered. Shots coming in from left, right, and center. Frustrated, he reached his hands out when one of the kids struck the ball from about 25 yards out, the ball bending at an unnatural angle. William, thinking to himself, if the ball would just stop, that would be great.
Lo and behold. The ball was halted mid-flight by a stream of water. The kids, his friends included, looked on in amazement. Most of them were very accepting and thought it was the coolest thing. But there were of course a few that ran off and told their parents what they saw. They then in turn alerted the authorities.
General community resentment of the 'mutated' was present. William, and his family by extension, were seen as outcasts. After a few more years of living under that shadow, they decided to move. Castleburg was the city they chose, East Flank to be precise. They settled there, where William was accepted to work with H.E.R.O. and thus began their lives in Castleburg.Abilities
Hydrokinesis⫻William can manipulate water. Namely, water and its thermo-conductive nature. That is not to say he can manipulate steam of ice. He can get water that is boiling or just above freezing, but not actually to that level. He can also conjure bodies of water. The larger the amount, the more taxing it is on him. Filling a regular sized backyard pool? Sure. Filling an Olympic-Sized pool? He might be out the rest of the day.OTHERWilliam does not really have an accent when he speaks, and he really likes the hip-hop scene.
Name
Wyatt Hart
Villain Name
Ringmaster
Nicknames
None
Gender
Male
Age
28
Date of Birth
15th October
Physique
Standing at exactly 6ft tall, Wyatt is not overly muscular but does enough to keep himself well-toned and fit. He has fair skin but no noticeable blemishes or freckles are to be seen.
Objectively most people can't deny that he's a good looking guy, his storm blue eyes and perfectly proportioned features enough to charm any woman. He has a mop of black hair that he usually keeps short at the sides and swept back from his face. His smile is probably his most outstanding feature though, it having both won and broke the heart of many over the years.
Surprisingly for someone from Brookside, Wyatt has no tattoos and although he previously had a piercing in each ear, these were taken out several years ago. He has some scars across his back, although these are well faded and barely noticeable anymore.

Personality
On the surface Wyatt is all charm, charisma and pleasantries. Even without his powers, he has always had a way with words and knows just what to say to twist someone round his little finger. It also doesn't help that he can see a persons every thought and deepest darkest secrets...
Underneath however, Wyatt is cold and calculating. He sees the world as a brutal place, that left he and his sister alone, and that prioritises heros above all else. He sees others as simply tools for him to use and has little care for their needs or wishes. There is a part of him that has a soft spot for his sister, though this is often overtaken by desire to use her for her powers.
Although he does not have a bad temper per say, he likes things done his way, and those around him would be wise to do as he pleases. People who do irritate him seem to always coincidentally go missing, only to be found less...alive, than they once were.
Backstory
For as long as Wyatt can remember, he's been able to hear the thoughts of others. When he was very young, he figured it was just something everyone could do, and was surprised when at the mention of his powers, his parents looked at him with fear. After all, who wants their every thought known? Especially to their child?
Whereas his sister was too young to recall the atrocities that were their parents, Wyatt was subject to it all. They were never fit to care for children, and he also suspected that the only thing that kept them together was their mutual love of hard drugs. Possession of drugs, theft, assault, antisocial behaviour... The list was endless. Their parents must have had a rap sheet longer than the bible. Wyatt was honestly glad when they just disappeared one day. He didn't even bother checking whether they were in prison or if they'd died...it didn't really matter after all. So instead, he was left at twelve to raise a four year old sister. Luckily for them, Brookside was a mess, and they were able to squat in their old flat for a while. Wyatt hated it thought. Always having to struggle for food, never having heating, hearing the neighbours thoughts about them... As if he deserved such a life.
It wasn't long before he got fed up of struggling. He began to spend more and more time on the streets, seeking solace in drugs and debauchery. And he probably would have gone down the same path as his parents, if he hadn't met Mr. King when he was fifteen. The man had the ability to teleport substances from one location to another, and had utilised this to begin his own drug empire in Castleburg. His lackies consisted of a mix of average humans and superheros with D/E rank abilities at best. The gang, for lack of a better name, developed a significant degree of infamy around Brookside and were dubbed by the media 'The Calaveras', for the way they painted their faces before a raid.
Although he hid the true extent of his powers from Mr. King, the man took the young Wyatt under his wing. Afterall, a boy who can hear both your friends and enemies thoughts is infinitely useful. Wyatt enjoyed the power that Mr. King brought with him and relished in the opportunity to fine tune his powers. But...he always figured that his boss was thinking too small. He was always too eager to play up to politicians and famous celebrities, including the hero ones. So bit by bit, Wyatt began to take over. It took him years to fine tune his abilities to control the minds of others, especially when they were strong, but he learnt and he took control.
It was not until years later, at the age of 25, that Wyatt ran into his sister. He'd tried to look for her in the past but as soon as she'd gone on the streets, she'd gotten lost to the system. He surprised himself when he felt sympathy for her, seeing her work in that depressing bar, and she'd been more than eager to reconnect with her brother. When he realised what her power was, he persuaded her to come work for him. She was not only stronger than most of his men but could also get into places that had been previously inaccessible. Sure sometimes she hadn't wanted to, and he'd had to change her mind, but so be it.
Until she managed to trap him that is. They'd been planning to rob one of the most secure banks in all of Castleburg, its vaults impenetrable...unless you had access to the electrical currents that held those locks tight in place. She'd persuaded him to come along, insisting that he would need to keep his men in check for such a tricky robbery. To this day Wyatt has not been able to figure out how she did it, but Brie managed to block her true thoughts from him. He was a fool to step into the vault. A fool who got trapped. He's since been locked up in Coldwater for the past two years, his sentence infinite. But...it's only a matter of time.
Power
Telekinesis/mind control
Wyatt is a strong telepath, which allows him to read the thoughts (and sometimes memories) of others. He can also communicate with others telepathically. Through this same ability, Wyatt is able to control the thoughts, emotions or actions of certain other people. Usually, when he is controlling another's actions they will be in a semi-conscious state and have no recollection of the actions they performed. This power has been particularly useful in being able to control other superpowered people and use them for his own purposes.
