Personality:
Biography: Tamara was born into a military family, with both her mother and her father serving when she was born. She was used to moving around every three or four years, but her greatest worry was when she was only eighteen when the Omnic crisis started. Her parents fought only briefly before the newly created Overwatch stepped in and ended the crisis, and inspired Tamara even more to enlist and protect her country.
She always had a knack for infiltrating and breaching, but even the best can be captured. She was tortured by her captors and experimented on with a neural interface, allowing her to connect with simple computers, but with great strain on Tamara's mind and body. Eventually, she was rescued and broken out, but not after being bound to an exo-skeleton, which did little more than further tax Tamara.
When she returned to America, Tamara went through therapy and rehabilitation, though only with less than moderate results. Years passed since her rescue, and she was unable to return to duty after many months being spent worked to death with little to no sleep and food.
It wasn't until unknown faces and technologies started taking over her rehabilitation center that Tamara noticed that something was up. Soon, just about everything aside from the interface itself was removed from Tamara, and she was nearly as healthy as a horse.
Overwatch had taken over her rehab center, intent on bringing her back into the field after making her more able with her interface and a new exo-skeleton, as well as a few additional toys. Her first mission, report to Watchpoint Udo for further instructions.

Shawn In (Blitz)

Name: Shawn In

Alias: Blitz

Position: eleventh grade (high school junior)

Abilities/powers: Electricity manipulation/generation - Shawn has the ability to control, direct, and create electricity from his body. He is essentially a living, rechargeable battery

Electromagnetic manipulation - a sub power to his electricity manipulation, Shawn has also started to learn how to control electromagnetic fields, using them and warping them to his aid. This is very much a lesser power to Shawn, and he can only use it to assist with his electricity manipulation.

Plasma Absorption- Shawn can absorb any form of plasma and take it into his body, storing it for later use. However, he can only hold so much before it starts to have negative effects on his body, warping his senses and even causing body spasms. The level of plasma he is holding can usually be discovered through his eyes.

electrical immunity- due to his abilities, Shawn does not feel pain from electricity, nor to outside electrical forces have any effect on his body, unless it is an inhuman amount and something not even he can contain.

Sex: Male

Age/Date of Birth: 16 - May 7th, 1983

General appearance:

Shawn stands at five feet, eight inches, Not as tall as his titan of a mother, but he is already taller than his father. Though he has a rather lithe build, he's strong enough to tackle most problems with his body, though he prefers to use his powers over brute force.

Additional Appearance/costume:

More of a prototype than anything, Shawn rigged up his own suit with the assistance of those in the school. The faceplate beneath the visor of the motorcycle helmet has small nodes on the inside to interact with Shawn's powers, allowing him to change the colors of the mask at will. The entire suit is lined in a similar way, the crevasses glowing with the activation of his powers, much like the suits from the movie TRON.

Personality: Though a self proclaimed 'chiller', Shawn is at the point in his life where he is so stressed out that it has made him numb and even. He swears that he's listening, especially when his head is propped up with his arm and there's a trail of droll leaking from his mouth. He does try, though. He is a bit of a perfectionist in the few things he can actually focus on, but otherwise airy to the world around him. He is the worst combination of "driven to take on the world" and "could not get off the couch for unlimited money". He likes to talk, mindless chatter and banter during fights, but mostly just whispering conversations and thoughts to himself, slinging thoughts and ideas around from him to himself.

Special Skills: Escrima Stick proficiency, Tonfa proficiency, moderate athleticism, moderate wiring skills.

Place of birth: Massachusetts, USA

Weapon(s) of choice: Shawn... borrowed, two old police batons to work with his powers, juicing them up with delicious electricty to pack an extra punch.

Medical information: Fit as a fiddle.

Brief History:Born to a hearty Irish mother and immigrant father, Shawn was raised in a house of mixed cultures was was spectacularly odd. Both of his parents were mutants, his mutations being an amalgamation of theirs. When his powers came, his family welcomed them with open arms, and the town was curious, but not negative of his abilities. However, his parents could only teach him so much. He was sent off to the Xavier school to further hone his powers and help those in need.

Relatives: (Any living, dead, or important relatives your character may have)

"Blake" Smith, Lightsmith

Name: Doctor Booker "Blake" Smith, PhD

Alias: Lightsmith

Position: Student Councilor, Therapist, Substitute Teacher

Sex: Male

Age/Date of Birth: 36 years old, 2/5/1963

General appearance:

Additional Appearance/costume:

Personality:Lax and Easygoing, Blake was a part of one of Professor Xavier's first classes after the Apocolypse incident, and only left the institute to get his degree in psychology. He returned to the institute to help Charles and stand in for any of the big X-men and women when they could not teach their own classes. Not exactly a hippy or a guru, but he does sometimes drift into those categories.

Special Skills: Doctorate in Psychology, pistol training, combat training.

Place of birth: California

Weapon(s) of choice: His constructs, namely. He has an emergency pistol that he can pour mana into and fire light, but hardly uses it.

snowflake

Gem: Snowflake Obsidian

Name if your gem goes by a different name: Snowflake

Appearance:
Snowflake is a beanpole, by gem standards and by Snowflake Obsidian standards. Easily rivaling the height of the Rebellion Perma-Fusion Garnet, Snowflake is on the thinner side of life. Her thin and lithe body allows her to move rather impressively, despite her height.

Powers: Temperature Manipulation[4/4]: For making areas as viable as possible, Snowflake Obsidians are able to control the temperature around them. This was especially useful when finding potential spots for new Kindergartens. On a technical level, this ability is friction manipulation at its bases state, only effecting the molecules in the air.
Snowflake is able to manipulate the temperature of the air around her at will. Not only being able to radiate her desired temperature, but she can change the temperature of her body, as well as change the temperature of "zones" around her. To a very small extent, this allows her to freeze things, generate ice, melt items, or even make things catch fire, but this requires a good deal of concentration.
Thermal Vision[2/4]: Due to having no eyes, Snowflake has been equipped with thermal vision. This allows her to see, regardless of light level. After having lived so long with this special ability, Snowflake is barely effected by drastic changes in light and heat, though she can be forgetful, and simply not use her thermal vision, making her blind when focused on other things.

Items: Flame/Snow Thrower - Snowflake's summon, it works with her temperature manipulation to launch either snow/ice or fire.

Backstory: Snowflake was a fighter in the rebellion. She abandoned her post as a planet-scouter and ecological specialist to fight against the gems who conquered words and took them apart for their own selfish needs. Snowflake was already matured by the time she was stationed at earth, having been quite jaded with the procedure. All previous planets had simple, hardly sentient life. Earth showed her that organic life was something worth preserving, and joined Bismuth in leaving Homeworld to fight with Rose Quartz.

After the diappearance of Bismuth on a solo-mission, Snowflake decided to stay at her outpost with the others, protecting the warp pads that she was responsible for.

Writing example:

Anything extra you'd like to add:After living so long, Snowflake has become quite the wordsmith. She knows how to talk to people, and tries not to use her powers of word crafting and manipulation for evil. She only wants to help people and shield them from truths they aren't ready to know yet.

Astro

Gem: Astrophyllite

Name if your gem goes by a different name: Astro

Appearance:

Powers: Electromagnetic field generation.[4/4] The fields she can create are tiny and seemingly useless, especially when considering that they can only be generated around her body, but Astrophyllite has found a great use for them. She uses them for mobility, and combat, often generating a field in the place where an enemy will strike and lock the tool of the enemy there so they can't move or use it. Warning: do not use around radios, they have a tendency to block certain waves.

Items: Throwing Axe, summon.

Backstory: Astrophyllite was born with a softer gem than most of her kind, which, when paired with the others, was always spoken about, resulting in her fearing that one day it will break because of something simple and insignificant. She always followed her orders to the letter, more of fear from her diamond than actual respect, but did so nonetheless. One day, she was moved from her team to another team, still a young gemling (as the other Astrophyllites likes calling her), and she asked no questions about the movement.

Writing example: Astrophyllite, or simply Astro, as she called herself in privacy, had only ever broken the rules at one point in her two-hundred year life. It had happened one hundred and fifty six years ago, and she had taken a recorder and an unused log tablet for her own personal use. It had never garnered attention, but to this day, she always feared that someone was going to walk into her chambers and find the stolen equipment.

"Log. Erm, let's see now..." She muttered to herself, the recorder active as she spoke into the microphone end. "Sol two hundred, exact. Two hundred years after my creation." It wasn't really of any importance to her. The others didn't seem to celebrate annually, especially with pesky things like relativity, and she was created on a planet that followed a different cycle than homeworld, so there was that too. "The planet of my creation is still intact, barely. All of the natives had long since evacuated by now."

A faint knocking could be heard from the recording, but the knock was much louder in person. "Five Three Zero Nine, we have ten minutes to report. I expect to see you at the briefing platform in five, gemling."
"O-of course!" Astro nodded, though the figure could obviously not see through walls. "I will be there momentarily."

Without another sound from the other Astrophyllite, Astro sighed and put the log away, leaving just the recorder out. "I know I've stated it before, but it seems like Astrophyllite Seven Two Seven Three, or Prima, as she likes being called, has set up a rank for our little group. Maybe it makes a little more sense since we don't often fuse with one another like Rubies or others do, so there is no collaborative mindset, but I just wish that she stopped treating me like the lowest link in the chain." A soft breath escaped her lips, her hand reaching to the button on the recorder.

"Log over."

Virgil was an overall good kid, but as he grew into his teens, Pressure to take a position in one of the many neighborhood gangs increased. He didn't want to pick a side, as he thought that they were all bad. Despite his thoughts, he had to play with them and keep them on the line. He wasn't happy with how he lived, but surviving meant he had to sacrifice some things. While very smart, he does have a bit of a mouth, and it has gotten him in trouble with teachers and others.

After the Big Bang, gangs nearly disappeared from Dakota, and so did the overwhelming pressure to pick a side. Virgil was able to get back to focusing on his life. Time at school was still time at school. He needed to keep his grades up so he could keep stay outside when it got dark. After all, being a superhero meant you had to stay up past curfew.

Biography---------

Character History/Origin: Virgil was born to Robert and Jean Hawkins, and was raised near the neighborhood of Paris Island, in Dakota City. Paris Island was known for being the poorest and most dangerous area in the city, and places like Virgil's block had some problems because of it. Growing up, Virgil always knew to stay away from the gangs and from that neighborhood, and he listened well. It wasn't until his Freshman year that rumors began to brew. A big showdown on Paris Island with nearly every gang in the city. The news moved around for months, and many of Virgil's friends decided they wanted in. Virgil was the last to join, and only due to the pressure of others that he knew.

The news wasn't well contained. News of the "Big Bang" spread far and wide, eventually reaching they Mayor's ears. SHe captitalized on the situation of such a large gang presence. She wanted to use an experimental tear gas, dubbed quantum juice, that could leave a tracking marker on all of the people it touched. When the Big Bang finally went down, the gas was used, and chaos proceeded.

The quantum juice had a disastrous effect on nearly all of the people involved in the Big Bang. more than 90% were killed due to the gas alone, and those that survived either mutated violently, or developed incredible abilities. Virgil survived, and was revealed to have become the latter option after Richard Foley, another friend from school, dragged him to an abandoned gas station near the scene. Static was nursed back to health over the course of the weekend, but his powers only began to show a week later.

He wasn't the only one to be affected by the gas in this manner. Many of the other survivors, dubbed Bang Babies, knew that this was the law's doing, and quickly relied on villainy to exact revenge for what had happened to them. Virgil would not accept that, and donned the name Static Shock to fight crime.

For two years Virgil fought the Bang Babies of Dakota City, as well as various other villains who rose to the escalating occasion. In this time, Richard had been exposed to Virgil long enough to adapt powers of his own, and became the hero known as Gear. With his powers, Richard was able to help Virgil even more, both on the streets and in the workshop. Static was better outfitted than ever before, and it was all thanks to his super-genius friend.

This high would only last so long, though. As Virgil became more adept with his powers, the more dangerous his foes became to combat such skill. Virgil was unable to keep his identity away from his family, who, were glad for Static for protecting the city, were more worried than ever for Virgil and his well being. Virgil almost had to hang up the goggles, but an agreement struck between him and his parents, and he was allowed to continue to fight crime.

One night, Virgil made the mistake of patrolling alone. As he combed through the streets, a Bang Baby by the name of Aftershock was prowling around near a gas station. Static had never faced another electricity based Bang Baby before, and was completely unaware that Aftershock's powers were the one source of electricity that could harm him.

The gas station exploded, and eight lives were lost that night. While nobody in the area knew that Static was present, Virgil took the loss hard. He stopped heroing for months, leaving Richard to suit up full time in Static's place. Eventually, Virgil decided that he wasn't worthy to protect Dakota City. Gear was doing a fine job with the few whom he had recruited. Virgil told his parents the truth about the gas station explosion, and offered him sympathy.

Virgil wanted to leave, but his parents told him that he still had to finish school. He offered to study hard and graduate early, but the refused. After weeks of bargaining, he was finally able to cut a deal. He could leave, and they would help him however they could, but he had to participate in home-schooling, and he had to return home at least once a month to see him family. Virgil knew that with such restrictions he couldn't go far, but it was better than nothing. He couldn't believe that his parent were so understanding, but when your parents know that you've been a superhero, they know that there isn't a lot that can stop you from doing what you believe is needed.

"They say I'm as strong as a bull, but I know I am much more.
— Dimitri

NAME

Megalos, Dimitri

GENDER

Male

AGE

15 - 04/06

NATIONALITY

Greek

APPEARANCE

Height:Five Feet, Eight Inches

Weight:135lbs

[indent]Fashion Sense:Simple farm clothes, very patchwork. Dimitri fixes his clothes himself and tried to wear them for as long as they'll hold together. /indent]

Distinguishing Features:His hair is almost always covering his eyes, but always seemed to be able to see despite this.

PERSONALITY

Strong will, soft heart, but not always the most witty or tactful. Dimitri is a very direct kind of person, and believes that people deserve to know the truth with a smile. He's outspoken and positive almost to a fault, but will always stand by his decisions no matter the cost.

HISTORY

Dimitri grew up in a small but comfortable farm in Greeze. He was taught by his mother and raised to work by his father. As a single child, he had all of the affection he could ever want from them, and worked hard to make sure that he earned it. The news of quirks was still young and fresh in everyone's minds when Dimitri developed his. His father didn't bear a quirk, but he inherited his from his mother. Growing horns, a tail, and being stronger than ten men before he could even multiply, his parents knew that it was a sign from the gods that Dimitri was blessed with this gift.
The farmork got much easier after his quirk developed, but there was never a shortage of things to do. The farm expanded, more could be done in less time, and their harvest was plentiful. But... they all knew that Dimitri's world was so much bigger than this.

The news came to him on his birthday. He would be leaving Greece to attend one of the new schools dedicated to teaching people with gifts, or Quirks like his own. Dimitri, though he knew he would miss his parents dearly, knew he could not pass up this offer to continue his life and make something of himself. He could put his gifts to use. He could even save people. Before the night was over, he was hard at work, trying to learn japanese so he wouldn't be too far behind his classmates.

The goodbye was just as tearful as the news about the school. Dimitri almost missed his flight. He would talk to his parents every night, send them pictures, write them letters. He promised he would do as much to not grow apart.

QUIRK

Short Quirk explanation: Minotaur - For all intents and purposes, Dimitri has the powers of the mighty minotaur. Enhances strength and durability, horns on his head, a prehensile tail, and even a unusually keen nose.

In depth Quirk Details***: Dimitri's quirk allows him to bench press nearly 750lbs and leg press 900lbs. The prehensile tail is all but useless, given its size, and does little more than swat away flies. Due to the fact that he can lift and move so much, Dimitri requires an absurd amount of calories a day in order to keep fatigue at bay. Due to his strength, he can leap incredibly high, though he doesn't have the dexterity to make a safe landing for himself.

Quirk Development***: I don't plan on the quirk itself developing or changing that much aside from how strong he is, but I might give him the lesser known quality of blowing hot steam from his nose. The plan is more or less for Dimitri to use his strength in more creative ways than having his power be improved.

OTHERS

Put anything else you'd like in here, but be sure to include what is already listed.

Likes:Home, potatoes, carrots, gardening, soccer/football, working out

Dislikes: Bullies, cars, radishes, reality tv

Fears:The death of his parents, failure, spiders
