[OOC] The World Forged by Powers

[the Forge]

(((THE FIRST THREE POSTS OF THIS THREAD ARE FULL OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT IS FREQUENTLY UPDATED. PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING A CHARACTER)))

The development of the world has been shaped by the existence of supernormal powers. These powers are far more realistic than you might expect; all abilities are governed by the laws of physics. The Science is, while not 100% accurate to real life, far more realistic than you'd usually see. The science also strives to be more consistent. What happens with one power typically will happen with all of them. This incorporates several fundamental rules. Powers that apply force apply an equal and opposite force on their wielder. Powers run on food-energy that can, and does, run out. Guns are dangerous weapons that can't simply be ignored for the sake of convenience. The government is smart enough to hire it's own supernormals to keep things under control.

History

In an alternate universe far from here lies an Earth much like our own. In this universe the existence of super powers is a fact of life. On this Earth the myths and legends of ancient times such as the Egyptian, Greco-Roman and Norse gods are based on true stories of Humans with special abilities and skills. Historical events in this world have gone more or less the same path as they have in our world with a few alterations. Up until the First World War supernormals were few and far between.

After the First World War a variety of programs were started by several of the world's nations to try to increase the number of individuals with super powers in each country. Breeding was encouraged and even rewarded in those with special abilities. Individuals with special gifts in biology were recruited to crack DNA in order to put together new breeds of humans with animal abilities or simply to create clones of existing supernormals. Of course all of these clones and transgenic hybrids were babies. So it was many years before they would grow up.

Because of this intentional interbreeding and genetic manipulation the number of supernormals in modern times is quite high. one out of a hundred in the Human population of Earth have some aspect that could be considered extraordinary compared to Human beings in the real world. Most of the time these aspects are simple such as keen hearing, blue hair or having no ears lobes. However, around one in a thousand in the population have what might be considered super powers and one in ten thousand have truly strong game changing abilities such as strong psychokinesis, super strength or speed.

Some individuals have access to overtechnology. That is technology above an beyond the regular everyday stuff that's available to the public. Generally this is because of supernormals with incredible intelligence using their abilities to design items that are far too advanced for their time. This can take a variety of forms. Some specialize in things like LASERS, Force-fields and Holograms, some in Cybernetics repairs and upgrades, some in Artificial Intelligence and some in Artificial Gravity and Wormholes. It really depends on the individual what sort of wonders they can produce. Overtechnology tends to become extremely unstable when not directly supervised by the one who made it.

Humans are not the only sentient beings in this world. There exists a minority of self aware artificial intelligences as well as a variety of altered Humans. The most common types of altered Humans are the animal transgenic hybrids and cybernetic Humans. There are also afflicted Humans; doppelgangers, vampires, werewolves and mindless zombies which have been around for centuries.

Men and women of every race fighting side by side in the largest war ever known did a lot for equality among the allied countries, Unfortunately it had the unintended side-effect of creating a new prejudice du-jour; supernormal superiority. After World War II the earth was left with a multitude of supernormals with no more war to fight. So they began to turn their abilities to other areas. Business, crime, or law enforcement. Once the super-villain and super-hero trend got started battles in public became common-place. With all these extraordinary people causing untold collateral damage to people and property the common folk wanted a solution. They demanded the relaxation of the restrictions on guns and other weapons so that they could defend themselves. The United States Government eventually relented. Between the pressures of the cold war and the wording of the constitution it felt almost inevitable.

At the end of the Cold War in the 1990s the Department of Supernormal Affairs (AKA the DSA) was formed from the remains of top secret organizations and became an official government agency. The DSA was put in charge of the confidential registry of individuals with supernormal abilities. (The names in the registry are what is secret not the existence of the registry.) Anyone committing a crime with dangerous supernormal abilities is registered in the same way that fingerprints are taken. You can also register voluntarily if you so desire. The DSA also makes a point of hiring supernormal agents to deal with supernormal criminals.

In the 1840s an eclectic group of investigators were put together by the British crown to officially pursue extraordinary matters. This Ministry of the Extraordinary was populated by a wide variety of extraordinary individuals from all around the British empire and later the United Kingdom. In times of war the Ministry was charged with supplying the royal military with extraordinary soldiers. In the 1990s Parliament decided to adopt the same policy in the United Kingdom as was being used in the United States. The Primary differences being that those licensed with the Ministry do not pay for their damage and medical insurance but it is instead paid for by taxes as good faith for the work done on behalf of the nation. This difference is often debated.

There are, of course, many who resent the registry and choose to keep their identity a secret in order to perform vigilante actions without being entered into a registry. This is considered illegal vigilantism but the DSA and the Ministry of the Extraordinary are prone to ignore these offenders unless they become a major problem. There is an organization known as the League of Masks who help provide a support network for these illegal vigilantes. They also provide lawyers if they get caught. Masks who are not members of the League rarely last long.

Types of Supernormals

Non-sapient Species | Basically everything from cats and dogs to grass and trees to the common cold. Animals can have powers too. However there are many powers that animals cannot have. They never have psychokinetic powers. They never have abilities that require complex thought such as intuitive abilities, healing or psychometabolism. If they have super-intelligence it doesn't make them sapient. Some animals can be capable of talking but they can't visualize complex concepts. They typically have to stick to simple commands and information. Animals are also capable of being infected with vampirism, lycanthropy and zombification. They do not, however, become doppelgangers. The Transmutic cells appear to only choose sapient forms. Many Animals have exaggerated forms of their natural abilities. For example; cats with super speed, skunks with knock-out gas or super-sugar with fifty times the calories of normal sugar cane.

Standard Deviation Humans | Humans with naturally occurring powers. Any human that is born naturally having powers. At least one of their parents will have either the same power or a similar power. (to be added to later)

Transgenic Hybrids | Living things whose DNA has been altered with enhancements from animal and/or human DNA done for specific purposes. Typically the animals used are supernormal in some way. Hybrids can also refer to virtually anything created by genetic engineering. Hybrids are an everyday sight in most cities. Hybrid humans are typically capable of reproducing with other humans except in extreme cases. Typically children with one hybrid parent and one non-hybrid parent are less visually different from non-hybrids. Most hybrids only have the powers of the supernormal animals they're based on. However with one hybrid parent and with one standard deviation parent with another power they can inherit both. This is generally the only way you can have a hybrid with a psychokinetic or telepathic ability. Generally only people with supernormal levels of intelligence are capable of creating transgenic hybrids.

Cyborgs | Cyborgs are still basically human. (or whatever they were before) Often times they require replacement limbs or internal organs from an accident. Other times people simply prefer to be cybernetic for their own personal reasons. Some people like to think of them as a separate species from regular humans but there's not that much difference between a regular cyborg and and a regular human. Of course some cyborgs are so extensively modified that they're no longer recognizable as human any longer. In general the main difference between a cyborg and a copied intelligence is whether they still have their original brain or whether they've transferred their consciousnesses to a computer. Pretty much any living thing can be made into a cyborg but certain supernormal powers are rendered ineffective through cyberization.

Sapient Artificial Intelligences | Artificial Intelligences that have gained or were created with sapience and thus have human rights. It's not always easy to tell which robots and/or computers are sapient. VI or virtual Intelligences are non-sapient and created by writing lines of code.. Sapient AIs are generally copied human minds or imitations of human minds. Copied minds are considered, by law, to be people in their own right. This is because originally the only way to copy minds destroyed the original. This led to the copies being considered to be the original person themselves. However later overtechnology allowed some to copy their minds without destroying the original or even create new minds based on what they learned about minds in general. Because of this the law was changed where a copy is considered a new person. Generally only people with supernormal levels of intelligence are capable of creating Artificial Intelligences.

Pre-approved Supernormal Powers

This is my combined list of documented Super aspects in the RP world including super-powers, afflictions, species and super-technology. New powers will be added to the list as they are discovered. If you have any questions about powers, overtech and the super-physics that they are based on or a new power you'd like me to add to the list just ask me. If- you're planning on submitting a new power I strongly suggest you submit the power first before making a whole sheet.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE
The more primary powers you have the weaker each one will be. For example a superspeedster telekinetic will not be as fast as a straight up super-speedster. Some powers however make each other stronger. for example a metamorphic shapeshifter with regeneration would have the regeneration cause the metamorphic changes to function better and the metamorphic changes would cause the regeneration to function better. However the Metamorphic changes would not be as good as those of a pure metamorph. Some powers make each other weaker. For example super-durable skin and cloaking. Trying to make the skin do two opposite things greatly hampers both. If you are not sure whether two powers are sympathetic, neutral or conflicting then please ask me, I will be happy to tell you. Additionally Psychokinetic powers are strictly one per character. Psychokinetic abilities are general with varying amounts of focus on range, raw power and fine control. Taking a limiter such as restricting yourself to an element allows you more of those things but you can't restrict your self to more than one thing as that's hardly a restriction at all. Telepathic and Psychokinetic powers may not be used in AIs or non-sapient organisms. Other than that the only limit on organic powers is how many food calories you eat. In order to do something you have to have the energy. That means you get tired and hungry after fighting.

Physical Abilities | Abilities that have to do with your own body, senses or mental processes.

Super-metabolism | The ability to consume large quantities of food and burn the energy gained therein. Typically a required secondary power with most other powers as they tend to use great amounts of energy especially psychokinetics, speedsters and such. Many supers eat extremely high calories super foods because of this. Others just seem to eat constantly. vampires have the thirst and werewolves have the hunger. This is essentially super-metabolism.

Super-stamina | The ability to carry large amounts of stored energy. Typically a required secondary power with most other powers as they tend to use great amounts of energy especially psychokinetics, speedsters and such. Sometimes manifests as layers of body fat. Goes hand in hand with the high metabolism that nearly all supers tend to have. Even if someone already has super-stamina they lose it when they become a vampire or werewolf.

Additional body parts | Things such as claws, extra arms, tails, wings, spikes, tentacles, cybernetics, etc.

Metamorphic Shape-shifting | The ability to bend and stretch body parts, even ones that normally don't bend and stretch, into a given shape and colour scheme. Typically used to imitate other people or to stretch and bend like a rubber person. (Limited by organic structure. If you make your arms too long your heart won't be able to pump blood to them anymore. You also have to make sure you don't crush your internal organs.)

Cloaking | A lesser form of metamorphic abilities where you can only change colour and not shape. It's like a chameleon only way better. Unfortunate side effects may include character nudity.

Unusual coloration | Things such as naturally pink hair or purple eyes. This is, in fact, one of the most common mutations.

Unusual body chemistry | Things such as immunity to poisons, toxic flesh, transparent skin, etc.

Regeneration | The ability to regrow damaged or lost parts of your body. Regeneration is typically an automatic process. Speed of the process depends on power level and diet of the supernormal in question. Typically bones are the slowest to grow though. All vampires and werewolves have regeneration.

Super-durability | Organic structure that can take more punishment than a Human being 'normally' could. This can come in a variety of forms from basic toughened skin and bones to something as exotic as flexible metal skin or an exoskeleton. This ability comes with a natural increase in density. Typically a required secondary power in order to make other powers more viable such as being able to use super strength without crushing your own fist when you punch things.

Super-strength | Muscles that can bear and lift great weight and pull with great force. (This ability increases jumping height as well but not as much as equivalent super-speed because jumping height is mostly a matter of velocity as you leave the ground. Super Strength increases your load bearing potential rather than your muscle velocity.) Super-strength muscles are very dense. All werewolves have a medium form of super-strength.

Super-speed | Muscles that can move at exceptional velocities thus allowing the user to perform actions very quickly. (Also makes the user able to jump very high.) Strictly speaking, super-speed is simply an alternate form of super-strength. Super-speed muscles are also very dense. All vampires have a medium form of super-speed.

Super-dexterity | A great degree of control over the precise movement of your muscles. Especially in the fingers. Typically a required secondary power for other powers such as super-accuracy.

Super-agility | The ability to change body position rapidly and accurately without losing balance using coordination, and dynamic flexibility. Typically a required secondary power for other powers such as super-speed.

Super-reflexes | The ability to quickly process and react to stimulus without actually thinking about it. (or not a lot anyway.) Just like when you touch something hot and pull back only faster. Typically a required secondary power for other powers such as super speed.

Super-accuracy | The ability to aim at and hit targets by intuitively figuring out the math in your head. Technically an Intuitive ability but worth its own separate slot.

Super-senses |One or more senses that can perceive more than 'normal'. This is a category of sub-abilities and can mean heightening of the normal senses or an altered version of normal senses (such as seeing UV light) or an entirely new sense altogether (such as sensing EM fields like a shark does.)

Super-intelligence|When any of a number of processes of the brain simply work more efficiently. This is a category of sub-abilities and can mean the brain works to greater capacity, faster, parallel, or whatever. Since it's a pretty broad category you'll want to be specific about what way you are intelligent.

Intuitive abilities | Abilities that allow one to understand something as if by instinct. This is a category of sub-abilities and examples can include the ability to precisely target, knowledge of biology or other sciences and immediate grasp of languages. (They cannot do so without any contact with the information though. for example you can't learn Spanish if you've never heard of the language before but you can learn it very quickly if you have "Intuitive abilities: Spanish".)

Learned abilities or skills | Things like acrobatics, martial arts or knowledge that you study or train in. goes under powers even though most might not consider these to be powers.
.
.
.
Secretion Abilities | Abilities that generate chemical effects. These are usually part of the mouth (or sometimes the hands) unless otherwise specified in your sheet.

Fire breathing | The ability to secrete organic fuel and ignite it as you spit it out.

Venom | The ability to secrete bio-hazardous materials (usually liquids.)

Acid | The ability to secrete organic compounds capable of quickly corroding certain materials.
.
.
.
Unusual Abilities | Abilities that aren't quite physical and aren't quite psychokinetic.

Radio Tranception | The ability to absorb, understand and emit radio waves of various kinds. typically carries subconscious decryption as a secondary power. Otherwise all you’d get is all white noise all the time. This power is typically used to listen to music, access the internet and send messages.

Healing | The ability to control cell growth and inject materials into an organic subject by touching near the area you desire to manipulate. typically used to heal or hurt but can also be used for cosmetic changes. This ability is completely at will so it requires active thought and concentration to work. This ability does work on your own body body but unlike regeneration you have to do it on purpose. You don't heal yourself automatically. It's also highly likely for you to make big mistakes with this ability if you don't have major medical training.

Psychometabolism | The ability to control your own hormones and nervous system to enhance your own bodily functions, though without an outwards change in appearance. Those with a high enough level of this power can use it like healing power except without the ability to affect other people.

Kinetic Blast/Grappling | The ability to project force through air (or water or whatever) to push things away. Also the ability to draw things towards you and cling to them. Essentially the same as magnetism but for any solid mass instead of only working on magnetic metals.

Microwave Blast | The ability to project microwaves from any part of your body in order to fry stuff. The amount of collateral damage this power can cause is frankly staggering.

Plasma Blast | The ability to ionize and superheat air in a stream as you breathe it out. This effect is basically the same a blowtorch in form and function. A very dangerous and tiring ability with devastating damage potential. The organ for this power is bulky, cumbersome and very obvious.

Organic LASER | The ability to generate photon beams capable of causing concentrated heat damage. This is achieved by a separate organ that works much the same way as a regular LASER does. It is not the same organ as the eyes since that would make you unable to see. The organ for this power is bulky, cumbersome and very obvious.

Electrocution | The ability to to produce a jolt of electricity capable of causing pain and convulsions. This power is more like a taser than a bolt of lightning. Generally not aimable.

EMP Blast | The ability to charge up and release an organic electromagnetic pulse. This ability takes a bit of concentration and time to charge up and a lot of energy with each use. The range is low but the collateral damage is typically pretty severe.
.
.
.
Psychokinetic Abilities | Mental abilities which allow one to to manipulate a specific particle or force depending on which ability they have. These abilities burn calories (food energy) and require mental focus. Psychokinetic is often shortened to PK. Sometimes also known as telekinetic abilities.

The Body Rule | Psychokinetic abilities cannot manifest control inside of human beings. This is due to interference from the psychokinetic organ found in all humans. Most of the time this organ is dormant within normal humans aside from this preventative measure. It’s only in proper psychokinetics that it’s able to affect the world around them. You can, however, use them on the inside of your own body. PK abilities also cannot manifest control within kinetic barriers, radioactive materials or anything else with a significant energy signature. However once you control something you maintain control, even if it enters something with a significant energy signature, until it is completely surrounded and cut off from you. As long as part of it is outside you can still control it.

The Bootstraps Rule | Psychokinetic abilities that lift substances cannot be used to fly by lifting yourself up or standing on lifted mass. This is because for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It would be like trying to lift yourself up by your bootstraps while still wearing your boots. However, you can push yourself up by applying force down. Meaning you can hover as long as there is something within range of your to power to push down upon. The reason powers of this type do not crush the user is because they can brace themselves by controlling two different things at once to help cancel out the force.

The One Per Character Rule | Unlike other powers, Psychokinetic abilities are limited to one per character. Essentially every Psychokinetic power that involves moving something is simply a quantity of raw power, range and fine control. A power that’s limited to a specific element is able to increase these overall quantities at the cost of what objects they can control. This limitation wouldn’t exactly be a limitation if they could control more than one thing.

~

Hydrokinesis (Water-Mover) | The ability to control the location of H2O (water particles). For example, to make waves or gushes of water. They can force state changes of water particles into a gaseous or solid state effectively creating steam or ice but the temperature won’t actually change so as soon as they let go it will revert to normal. This is a specific particle power, so the body and bootstraps rules apply. You can use this ability to hover but only over a mass of water.

Ventrokinesis (Wind-Mover) | The ability to control the location of N2 (nitrogen particles) AKA air. For example, to create pressure waves for wind, vibrations for sounds or to achieve flight. This is a specific particle power, so the body and bootstraps rules apply. As there is almost always air around, you can use this ability to fly, so long as you don't go so high that you freeze and/or suffocate.

Pyrokinesis (Fire-Mover) | The ability to control the location of O2 (oxygen molecules). For example, to control the strength and shape of a fire or to make someone feel dizzy or lightheaded. Heating a small area or object to flash point is possible with a high enough level of concentration. This is a specific particle power, so the body and bootstraps rules apply. This ability is rarely strong enough to lift a Human body so hovering does not apply. (You're welcome to attempt being a Human rocket.)

Electrokinesis (Lightning-Mover) | The ability to control the location of free electrons (electrons not bound with covalent bonds). Main source being electrons in metals. For example, to make magnetic fields and lightning bolts by spinning or hurling the electrons respectively. This is a specific particle power, so the body and bootstraps rules apply. This ability is rarely strong enough to lift a Human body so hovering does not apply. (You're welcome to attempt magnetic lift though.)

Psammokinesis (Sand-Mover) | The ability to control the location of silicone particles (quartz, sand and glass). For example, to make shapes out of sand, move or shatter glass into shards or simply into sand. This is a specific particle power, so the body and bootstraps rules apply. You can use this ability to hover but only over a mass of silicone. Remember, sand is heavy and is the main component of most rocks and dirt.

Arborkinesis (Tree-Mover) | The ability to control cellulose (the stuff paper, cardboard, lumber and other plant materials are made of). For example, you can make paper airplanes actually fly, wrap someone up like a Christmas present or throw logs at people. This is a specific particle power, so the body and bootstraps rules apply. You can use this ability to hover but only over trees or rolls of paper or the like.

Trichokinesis (Hair-Mover) | The ability to control keratin (the stuff that skin, hair, nails, scales, feathers, wool and shells are made of). For example, you could snare people with your hair or use sharpened feathers as darts. This is a specific particle power, so the body and bootstraps rules apply (body rule means you can only access dead cells on other people, not live ones.). You can use this ability to hover but only over keratin. Remember, most of dust is made up of keratin.

Osteokinesis (Bone-Mover) | The ability to control Calcium-Hydroxylapatite (the stuff bones and teeth are made of). For example, to make skeletons walk, throw teeth around or sharpen bones. This is a specific particle power, so the body and bootstraps rules apply. (you can’t take bones that are inside of a person unless they’re dead.) You can use this ability to hover but only if there are bones on the ground.

Metallomorphosis (Metal-Shaper) | The ability to reshape metals or mostly metallic alloys. For example to turn a manhole cover into a sword. This is a particle shaping power, so the body rule applies but the bootstraps rule does not. The only way to lift the metal is to reshape it so that it is taller. Metallomorphotics literally have no access to hovering in the first place.

Carbomorphosis (Diamond-Shaper) | The ability to reshape carbon into its various allotropes (graphite, diamond or nano-tubes). For example to create objects out of diamond or nano-tube mesh. This is a particle shaping power, so the body rule applies but the bootstraps rule does not. The only way to lift the carbon is to reshape it so that it is taller. Carbomorphotics have no access to hovering in the first place.

Microkinesis (Precision-Mover) | The ability to arrange many tiny objects in precise waysbut with severely limited raw power. For example, to assemble the gears of a watch or to pick a lock or to vibrate an object to make a sound. This is a generalized power, so the body and bootstraps rules apply. This ability is rarely strong enough to lift a Human body so hovering does not apply. Essentially this is a pk power that has total raw power limited rather than being limited to a specific material or force.

Macrokinesis (Heavy-Mover) | The ability to target and move heavy objects or multiple lighter objects but with severely limited fine control. For example, to lift a car or even yourself. This is a generalized power, so the body and bootstraps rules apply. You can use this ability to hover over solid objects or to super jump. Essentially this is a pk power that has fine control limited rather than being limited to a specific material or force.

Proximokinesis (Short-range-Mover) | The ability to move heavy objects or apply fine control but with a severely limited range. (I'm still trying to think of a good name for this power.)

Photokinesis (Light-Shaper) | The ability to make photons (light) 'bounce' off of nothing as if they had struck a one-sided mirror. This applies to the entire EM Spectrum. For example, you could make light bounce back and forth until you had enough for a LASER blast or you could make a mirage image (You can sort light for colour and brightness, this power is essentially a set of virtual mirrors and filters.). This is a photon shaping power, so the body rule applies but the bootstraps rule does not.

Gravitokinesis (Weight-Changer) | The ability to create false gravity (Force exerted by mass that isn't there with deep but very narrow gravitational troughs.). For example, you could make sideways gravity to stand on a wall or vertical gravity to float through the air. This is a natural force manipulation ability, so the body rule applies but the bootstraps rule does not. You can use this ability to fly by having the gravity pull you up or whatever directions you want to go but dirt and stuff will go along with you.

Magnetokinesis (Magnetism-Changer) | The ability to create artificial magnetic fields. For example, attracting a collection of paperclips to a specific point in space. This is a natural force manipulation ability, so the body rule applies but the bootstraps rule does not. You can use this ability to fly by wearing magnetic materials on your body and having the magnetic field pull you up or whatever directions you want to go.

Chronokinesis (Time-Changer) | The ability to speed up or slow down relative time within a bubble. For example, you could slow someone else down, or make yourself faster. This is a natural force manipulation ability, so the body rule applies but the bootstraps rule does not. You can use this ability to fly if you make your bubble of time skintight and swim in the slowed down air as though it were water. You canNOT use this ability to travel back in time.

Ostrakinesis (Barrier-Maker, Qi-User) | The ability to create and move transparent objects that feel solid even though they have no mass. For example, to create a wall to protect you or a stabbing weapon to attack with. Each ostrakinetic's objects have a specific colour; one ostrakinetic user might make red fields while another might make blue fields. This is a natural force manipulation ability, so the body rule applies but the bootstraps rule does not. You can use this ability to fly by standing on a created object and lifting it into the air.

Ætherkinesis (Portal-Maker, Teleporter) | The ability to fold space until it overlaps in order to make wormholes (portals). For example, to get from one side of a wall to another or to get up on top of a wall without a ladder. This is a natural force manipulation ability, so the body rule applies but the bootstraps rule does not. You can use this ability to fall through the air and open a portal under you to a higher point to get up to a higher altitude.

Phantasmokinesis (Ghost-Flyer, Hammer-Space) | The ability to twist off a section of space to make a pocket dimension off to the side of reality that you can move around at will. For example, you could store items or you could go inside of it yourself and travel 'through' a wall. This is a natural force manipulation ability, so the body rule applies but the bootstraps rule does not. You can use this ability to fly by having just your feet in the pocket dimension while you move it around. the pocket dimension will not have a source of light or air unless you bring one. People trapped in a pocket dimension can physically push their way out, though.

Psychokinetic Mimicry | The ability to sense PK abilities in others and copy them. You can only copy PK abilities from one person at a time and when you sleep or are otherwise greatly distracted your mind resets to none. You can sense the 'flavour' of a PK ability but if it's one you've never seen in action before you won't know what it is until you try it out.

Unlisted PK powers | Particle abilities can be specific to any particle, this means that if a particle or compound exists there is a PK ability to control it (Keep in mind that uncommon substances lead to uncommon powers). You can pick a specific molecule from unusual compounds like acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) to more straight forward compounds like Carbondioxide and have a PK ability to control it, it might be near useless but you can do it if you want to.

.
Telepathic Abilities | Mental abilities that allow you to sense and command with your mind. Those with Telepathic abilities have a special organ in their brain that is separate and different from the one for Psychokinetics. Unlike psychokinetic abilities it allows for multiple telepathic powers on the same character.

Mind Reading | The ability to sense the thoughts of others (including words images, sounds, etc.) Cannot delve deep but rather only senses currently or recently active thoughts. No access to memories, repressed thoughts, subconscious thoughts or deeply buried secrets.

Thought Sending | The ability to send suggestions (including words images, sounds, etc.) to communicate mentally with people. You can’t force people to do anything but you could make them think they thought of it if you’re clever.

Empathy |The ability to share emotions with other people including sensing theirs and sending them yours. You can also send them original emotions you're not actually feeling. For example you could make them angry or relax them.

Illusions | The ability to influence people's senses to put them in a world of your creating. In other words you sense everything they sense and you can then alter what they are sensing. This functions a lot like dreaming and sleep-walking.

Zombie Speak (Necropathy) | The ability to sense and control zombies You can also use any of their senses they have that still work. For more on Zombies see the affliction section.

Animal Speak (Zoopathy) | The ability to sense and control the behavior of animals. You can also sense what they sense. Many with this power are limited in what animals or category of animals they can control.

Virus Speak (Viropathy) | The ability to sense and control viruses.This tends to be a more esoteric version of animal speak.
.
.
.
Super Afflictions | Essentially infections that you can catch but for which there is no known cure, even with healing powers. Although, sometimes immune system abilities can prevent you from catching them in the first place. They occurred naturally as far as anyone can tell and have been around for ages. Once they get into your body they change what you are into something else and then stick around in order to maintain your new form and to spread it elsewhere.

Vampirism | Vampires are many times faster and more agile than baseline Humans. Most can lift twice their own body weight. They have enhanced senses (especially in the dark) but those senses can be overloaded (Loud sounds, bright lights etc.) They also have regenerative powers so they can regrow any missing body part as long as they're still alive and being fed. They have the thirst. Their super-metabolisms are always in high gear and they have low stamina (for a supernormal) even if they had super-stamina before they were infected. Vampires are especially susceptible to sunlight. (Ultraviolet radiation causes cancerous growths that, coupled with their speedy regeneration, can kill them rather quickly. Regenerating a tumor just leads to a bigger tumor.) Vampirism is considered an STD. Vampirism also tends to make you immune to other diseases including lycanthropy.

Lycanthropy | Werewolves are usually strong enough to lift six to ten times their body weight (They are also fairly heavy) and are reasonably fast and agile. Werewolves are colourblind. They have amazing senses of smell and hearing but those senses can be overloaded (strong smells, loud sounds, etc.) Werewolves normally subside in Human form but when they have an adrenaline rush hair grows suddenly covering most of their body and their nose, heels and nails change into a more wolf-like shape, hence the name. (they are not actually wolves, tho, and some of them resemble other animals entirely.) While in this form they operate much more instinctually and have trouble controlling themselves. They have regenerative abilities so they can regrow any missing body part as long as they're still alive and being fed. They have the hunger. Their super-metabolisms are always in high gear and they have low stamina even if they had super-stamina before they were infected. Lycanthropy is also considered an STD. Lycanthropy tends to make you immune to other diseases including vampirism.

Zombification | Zombies have a brain that has basically turned to mush. A blithering idiot searching only for food in the stupidest, most straightforward way you can imagine. (walk towards food, bite, repeat as needed.) Zombies are also completely immune to disease as their flesh is lethal (Most anything that tries to eat them dies,) and they have a tendency to keep moving even when their heart has stopped. In fact most zombies don't stop unless their brain is no longer hooked up to their limbs or they run out of juice. Whichever comes first. It is an incurable disease that completely kills anything recognizable as the persons mind. They are therefore considered dead by most governments, so you can legally kill them even if they are not threatening you. PK powers and most other powers that require complex brain functions will cease to work once zombified. Zombies are also not protected by the body rule.

Doppelganger | Doppelgangers are infected with transmutic cells. These cells have the ability to 'scan' people and objects at extremely short range. It's sort of like a cat-scan where you can see all the different layers except this is much more detailed and much higher resolution. The transmutic cells are then able to form a cocoon around the body and alter every atom of your being. Each time this happens you are fully remade into an exact copy of a person the transmutic cells have scanned recently in the exact way they were when they scanned them. (Including clothing and equipment.) The cells usually only remember the last 7 or 8 or so organic sentient life-forms who have been scanned. They always exclude non-sapient life-forms. Those infected with transmutic cells do not actually have any control over any of this. Usually upon your death the transmutic cells choose an organic sapient life-form for you to become based on how you died. Occasionally this ability is triggered by severe injury or even seemingly at random. The ability furthermore causes severe memory loss each time it is used due to transcription errors in your memories. You typically only remembers things that have happened recently or things that happen frequently. Also many doppelgangers have access to some additional special ability, usually to do with the transmutic cells in some way.

The Provider

Legal Name: Charles Tamerlane

Alias(es): Lord Tamerlane, General Manager. (In his store) The Provider (with the League of Masks.)

Physical Appearance: Lord Tamerlane is a tall middle-aged man standing at 6'1", 201 Lbs with a somewhat out of shape build. He has something of a gut from not eating as healthily as he ought to but he's not actually fat, as such. He's broad shouldered and somewhat imposing with a second set of small, thin arms beneath his primary set. These are fully functional. He has straight black hair cut sharply at the shoulders and brown eyes with noticeably asian features and a small pair of pince-nez spectacles. He typically wears a shoulder cape over his collarless suit. It makes him look somewhat like royalty or like some sort of drama villain. When in his other persona as the Provider he wears a suit of high tech powered armour. The exact design varies but it always has a third set of human-like arms and makes his lower arms look just as big as his upper arms. Aside from the six arms it's most noticable feature would be the glowing lines all over it ending at his six hands all of which glow brightly.


Race: Half Anglo-Caucasion and half Japanese Asian.

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: 1966/4/14

Supernormal Category: Standard Deviation Human.

Powers/Skills/Training: The Provider is a brilliant inventor. He has a deft hand (or four) at a wide variety of inventions but he specializes in non-lethal weapons of various kinds as well as armour. He's had years of experience running his business and investments. He has degrees in various kinds of engineering but no doctorates, perhaps why he takes on the gaudy title of Lord.

Equipment/Property: He sells a large variety of supernormal equipment, tools and weapons of various kinds as well as a plethora of more mundane items. His store also contains a juice bar for supernormals to feed their constant hunger with his high calorie concoctions and energy bars. It's become something of a hang-out for supernormals in recent years. He also carries a remote on him at all times the controls everything in the store.

History: Lord Tamerlane's British father used his brains as a code breaker in the Cold War. His Japanese mother was a wiz at the switch boards with her multiple arms. They met in the line of duty and as was custom at the time married for love and to increase the number of supernormals on their side of the war. He went to college at a young age excelling in several fields but always finding himself stuck at a certain level of advancement. He never got the doctorate he so craved. He was somewhat disappointed with himself, to say the least. He wondered if there was anything out there he could excel at. Eventually it occurred to him that perhaps his specialty was not having a specialty. He seemed to have a moderate level of skill at creating overtechnology of a variety of kinds. He decided to ply his skills at trade. He started out with repairing the work of other inventors with some moderate success. Eventually he made enough to open his own store. Over time he broadened his store into the wide range of products that it sells today. He secretly supplies gadgets to those less fortunate members of the league in his guise as the Provider. Sometimes the DSE takes a special interest in him, especially when his gear somehow ends up in the hands of the illegal vigilantes and other criminals. Still, he's managed to stay open this long and he's fairly confident he will continue to do so.

Legal Status: He has duel UK and US citizenship but has not visited the UK in many years due to the necessities of running his shop.

Group Membership: He is highly ranked in the league of masks. He provides equipment for most of the members in the city and answers only to the planner.

Slim

Legal Name: Jason Statler

Alias(es): Slim, Agent Statler, Agent Slim

Physical Appearance: Slim's nickname is well earned. He is quite the skinny fellow at a height of 6'4" but weighing only 185 Lbs. His slender frame is always well bedecked in a well cut suit and he always keeps his wiry brown hair combed straight. His grey eyes and clean cut face contribute to his piercing gaze.


Race: Caucasian

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: 1982/8/21

Supernormal Category: Standard Deviation Human

Powers/Skills/Training: Slim is a super speedster, ranked fairly high in overall speed, while not the fastest speedster in the world. His primary advantage is his incredible precision. He has trained himself to an excruciating standard of ability. Like all high level speedsters he also has a medium level of super durability and a low level of super strength. His bones are like steel pipes, his flesh as tough as leather, his hair like copper wire.

Equipment/Property: Aside from his service pistol, badge, cuffs and other assorted standard gear he also carries a variety of knives. He carries matched dueling knives and a small variety of throwing knives. He has a specially made pair of business shoes maintained by the DSA. They allow him to stick to nearly any surface in order to aid his ability to run. He controls these with his toes.

History: When Slim was a young boy he had difficulty controlling his powers. He was always impatient and had issues with impulse control. His parents eventually signed him up for special training on the weekends. A retired soldier taught the classes. They focused mainly on conquering your impulses and being in charge of your own mind.

When he grew up he ended up dropping out of college. He just didn't have the head for long term book study. He found a new purpose for his life in the DSA. Stopping supernormal criminals and tracking them down made him feel truly alive. He's always looking for a challenge to surpass. He also has a soft spot for young supernormals who haven't found their way yet.

Eventually he worked his way up the ranks of the field office but he always refused a desk job. He always felt that sitting behind a desk would be more than he could stand. So every day he's out there trying to make a difference in the world.

Legal Status: Jason Statler is a legal citizen of the united states and a highly ranked and decorated field agent of the DSA.

Length (tail to nostril) - 8' 5"
Width (shoulder to shoulder) - 3' 4"
Wing span - 14' 7"

Eye colour - Very dark brown, similar to eyes of lizard species


Race: Mostly Reptile

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: 2014/10/12

Supernormal Category: Transgenic Hybrid Reptile

Powers/Skills/Training:
Flight - Genetically modified to have light bone structures similar to avian fauna, with organic sacks full of hydrogen for buoyancy and flight capabilities controlled internally by Drake, large wing span provides movement and control
Fire-breathing - Hydrogen can be expelled at intense velocity, reacting with gullet minerals consumed by Drake to spark and produce fire, potency similar to other PK abilities
Natural Claws, Teeth
Enhanced Muscles - Genetically modified to have strengthened muscles with minimal bulkiness, allows for flight and very modest amount of super strength because of his size.
Regeneration - Over relatively short durations of time, Drake has the capability of fully healing broken muscles and scarred tissue at such a pace that might otherwise be considered 'super', but require extended periods of uninterrupted rest to achieve the desired results. He can also generate hydrogen at an alarming rate.

Equipment/Property: Being a large flying lizard means Drake is typically naked.

History: Drake, originally classified as 'GA-418', is a genetically modified organism created as a side project under Doctor Birmingham Bayly, co-head of the Joint Helix Corporation. The organization itself was dedicated to the research of biological discoveries and applications, with more classified projects working on non-microscopic biological warfare products for British and NATO armies. On the 12th of October, 2014, a malfunction at their research facility, located in the Highlands of Scotland hours away from any populated regions, caused significant outbreak of genetically altered lifeforms to escape, including GA-418.

The exact age of Drake is impossible to calculate without further analysis, as there is no comparable lifeform to match its growth pattern to. Suffice to say that, given its capabilities and its origins,

Legal Status: Non-human organism. Until further analysis is complete, Drake may be classified as an extremely dangerous non-microscopic biohazard.

Group Membership: Since he is essentially a wild animal he is not a member of any groups

Other: Drake is Intelligent but not Sapient. He can't grasp complex concepts in the way that human beings can.

Race: Caucasian with Hungarian and Romanian ancestry

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: 27/02/1834

Supernormal Category: Vampiric Standard Deviation Human

Powers/Skills/Training:

Super Intelligence - Extensive experience in the field of administrative work and particular focus on mental focus regarding his telepathic capabilities.

Mind Reading*
Thought Sending*
Empathy*
Illusion*

*These skills are all collectively used by Domanyk in simultaneous fashion, each finely controlled through his mental focus, to create the closest imaginable thing to direct mind control. All senses, emotions and even nervous impulses are detected in subjects and altered by Domanyk to create desired outcomes in targets. Most frequently used to subdue prey for feeding or coerce people to act favourably in his interests.

Equipment/Property: Domanyk is the owner of an abandoned church far from any populated regions that, due to effective administrative exploits, effectively does not exist in any listed documents. Using his own personal finances collected over many years, he has built himself an underground labrynth from which he rules over his cultist following of loyal vampires.

History:

Domanyk was born to a middle-upper class family of Wallachians who continued to live under Ottoman rule. Though unsubstantiated at best, it was rumoured that this Tepes family had a history of significant telepathic manipulation, making them targets of the state and outcasts by the rest of the local population. In 1857, at the age of 23, Domanyk enlisted in a group of nationalists fighting for Wallachian independence, hoping he could make a better name for his family, but was gravely wounded during a Turkish ambush on the outskirts of Transylvania. On the brink of death, abandoned to the wild, he was saved by chance from a travelling old man, who revealled himself to Domanyk as an old Transylvanian Vampire. He offered Domanyk a chance at immortality, as well as an opportunity to continue his fight against the Turks. With little other option, Domanyk embraced vampirism and was brought back to the Calimanului Alps, to a secret alcove of vampires hidden within a complex cave system.

From there, Domanyk worked his way into the position of Steward of the Transylvanian Vampiric Order, keeping stock of supplies that would help in war efforts directed against the Ottomans. While feeding, he also found his innate abilities had grown immensely during the vampiric conversion and allowed him to effectively take over the minds of unaware Turkish people and bend them solely to his will.

In 1884, 30 years after he was converted, Domanyk came across an archive of literature pertaining to the Draculestis family lineage - the very lineage of Vlad the Impaler, the father of the Transylvanian Vampiric Order. Domanyk discovered that, through a bastard of the dynasty, he could trace his roots directly to Vlad II, the father of Dracula. With this information, he became zealous and delusional. Many other vampires worried that being linked to Vlad the Impaler both through vampiric and actual blood lines would make him an overly proud man, but very few expected the sort of devotion he would build around this idea. He soon branded himself as Domanyk Draculestis, the reincarnation of Dracula, and manipulated the minds of his closest friends and allies to serve as devout followers. A civil war broke out between the Transylvanian Vampires, culminating in the collapse of the Order and the abandonment of the Calimanului Alps.

Domanyk contined to stay in the newly-formed Romania, terrorizing Turkish populations in the Bulgarian region while using Romania as a base of operations, establishing the Reformed Order of the Dragon. On the brink of causing a mass crisis between the Romanians and the Turks due to his massacre, Domanyk decided that he could not risk a conflict that would spill the blood of his old bretheren in a futile war, so he and what remained of his followers journeyed to the new world, travelling across the Atlantic to the United States.

Domanyk and his followers started to build a new life in New York, with Domanyk working in the administration of the city. However, with so many co-workers, some began to comment on his odd work schedules, and the underground life was no better, with older Vampiric Orders limiting his capacity for growth. Things quickly turned sour when these Orders also learned of Domanyk's role in the collapse of the Transylvanian Order, forcing him and his followers to take refuge far from the bustle of the East Coast. Eventually, the Order of the Dragon settled in the city of Los Silvestres, where Domanyk, using his talented administrative skills and mind-controlling powers, gained a job working in the administration for Los Silvestres, took an abandoned church, wiped it off of official records and designated the surrounding lands as protected national park lands, thereby guaranteeing isolation from prying eyes. Many years later, he would retire into seclusion, having successfully manipulated the mind of the Deputy Mayor and, through his office, dominating the administration of Los Silvestres.

Legal Status: "Deputy Mayor" of Los Silvestres

Group Membership: Founder of the Reformed Order of the Dragon

Anton

Legal Name: Anton Lepus

Alias(es): As an operative, 'Werwolf'.
Among those that know his origin, he is jokingly referred to as 'Ottobahn'.

Physical Appearance: Anton Lepus stands 6’4” in his jackboots. He has dark blond hair, a thin mustache, and a dashing saber scar; he looks like a meatier version of Errol Flynn.


Race: Caucasion

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: 1977/10/1

Supernormal Category: Transgenic Hybrid Human

Powers/Skills/Training: Primarily, Super Intelligence. While not exactly a Tony Stark-style inventor, he is a consummate schemer and manipulator- imagine supernatural cleverness rather than mechanical knowledge. (to balance out his other abilities, he can't/doesn't design and create overtech, but will happily make use of it).

Low-level super strength, speed, reflexes, and durability. This is a combination of good breeding(including supernormal DNA) and physical conditioning. For scale, he is easily an Olympic-level athlete, but a true superhuman speedster would leave him in the dust.

Anton is a learned man, by nature of his super intelligence, and has a very good grasp of many academic subjects including many foreign languages. He has been trained in many different methods of combat and war, from the individual level to the strategic, including special operations and espionage.

Anton is incredibly resistant to most any method of information retrieval. He has a high pain threshold, the skills to navigate questioning with ease and to evade modern methods of lie detection. More recently, Anton has learned to disguise his thoughts from mind reading with a combination of burying information, memetic activation, and disassociation.

As for hobbies, Anton has several. He is an excellent shot, a champion fencer, and a racing car driver.

Equipment/Property: Anton has no steady job but receives fairly steady income from his investments and assets which tally into the seven figures. If he doesn't own what he needs for a particular job, he can probably buy it, borrow it, or steal it.

History: After the Third Reich's defeat at the hands of the Allies in the Second World War, those members of the NDSAP and SS that weren't captured or killed scattered to the winds. Among those were famed Waffen SS commando Otto Skorzeny (b. 1908) and an unnamed Nazi mad-scientist, a counterpart to Mengele and von Braun.

While Skorzeny trawled France, Spain, and the Middle East for ODESSA, the Scientist found his haven in South America, and continued his experiments for the buried Reich.

When Skorzeny was diagnosed with cancer, the Scientist knew it would be a horrible blow to the number of groups making up the post-war 'Fascist International' were he to die. So he took a sample of the man's genome and spliced it together with samples of supernormal DNA, and made what we would now consider a 'test tube baby', resulting in an even more dangerous individual.

Ultimately, Skorzeny passed, killed by cancer in '75. But his genetic successor, christened Anton, was born and raised in the Nazi political underground of Argentina, where he was educated and trained. He inherited Skorzeny's great intelligence and the peak physical condition of the other component in his genetic make-up.

Anton has left most of the ideology behind, retaining only as much of the identity as he needs to stay on good terms with his contacts in South America. Now he holds dual Argentine/US citizenship, making his base of operations in [insert city name here] while he builds up resources for his own agenda. The once and future "most dangerous man in Europe" has his finger in everything from cutting edge research to freelance espionage to bounty hunting.

(left intentionally vague)

Legal Status: Duel Argentinian and American Citizenship. Wanted in Russia, hunted by FIS and FSB.

Group Membership: Sometimes works with the SCN

Jack

Legal Name: Jack Pierre Kettering

Alias(es): Jack

Physical Appearance:
Height: 188 cm
Weight: 95 Kilos
Build: Rather muscular, with a layer of fat
Eye Colour: Blue eyes
Hair Colour: Lightish Brown
Clothes:Wears a black jacket, with khaki pants. He usually wears boots of some sort.

Race: Caucasian

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: 1986/10/3

Supernormal Category: Standard Deviation Human

Powers/Skills/Training: Chronokinesis:Ability to create a bubble accelerated or decelerated time.
Jack can prepare decent meals, stemming from times he has had to be a chef during his travels. He also has the capability to operate most communication technology, from telegraph keys to the very rudiments of quantum entanglement theory. He cans speak both English and French. Other skills include driving, basic marksmanship with a rifle, decent handling of a pistol, a working knowledge of knife fighting, and proper maintenance of weapons. He has about six years of training with his ability of Chronokinesis, which started once puberty set in. He went through training in the French Foreign Legion, and continued his training with his Chronokinesis in combat situations there. He also has trained in a unit designed to utilize his time manipulation abilities to their fullest.

Equipment/Property: Jack has a key for his apartment in Los Silvestres, a holster for his pistol that is underneath his armpit, a blade kept on his shin, a cellphone, and his wallet. He wears a jacket reinforced with kevlar.

History: Jack was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan to a rather wealthy family. He picked up a fondness for cooking at a young age, which was encouraged by his mother. He did decently in school, until he started showing signs of powers around the age of thirteen. His mother was, Kendra Kettering was a Gravitokinetic, and his father, Adrian Kettering, possessed a super intellect and the ability to copy other psychokinetic powers, so Jack's potential as a super was rather likely.

He started being tutored in how to properly use his ability all through out the rest of his schooling, eventually deciding he'd do better utilizing his power to fight rather than for a civilian use, after ending up beating up a gang of seven people who tried to ambush him in an alley in Detroit, when he was sixteen. At that point, he started looking into a military career, seeing a path to hone himself to his fullest.

When he turned 19, he joined up with the French Foreign Legion, learning much of his military skills with his five years of service there. He served in several conflicts in the Middle-East and Africa, usually in a support capacity for a squad of soldiers. His service in the French Foreign Legion nearly removed his American citizenship, but due to never becoming a NCO in the Legion and the Legion never being hostile to the United States, he kept his US Citizenship. He was wounded in combat during his time in the Legion, granting him dual citizenship in both the US and France. After his service was over, he returned to the States, and took up residence in Los Silvestres.

While in Los Silvestres, he worked a bunch of odd jobs, usually in food joints and occasionally taking up a bit of muscle work. He eventually joined up with the SCN, trying to keep himself occupied with the jobs that were made available to him. He has been struggling to make ends meet through his work with them, and seeks something more to his life in Los Silvestres.

Legal Status: Jack has registered voluntarily.
He is a former Legionnaire.
Jack has dual citizenship in both the US and France.
Jack does not have a criminal record.

Group Membership: He is associated with the SCN.

Benefactor

Legal Name: Hector Espinoza ne Nicolas Garcia

Alias(es): Manuel the Drifter/ Manny (his most famous role), Benefactor (The League of Masks)

Physical Appearance: Height: 5'11, Weight: 158 lbs, Hair Color: Black, Eye Color: Hazel, Outfit: A tailored business suit or occasionally his Manuel the Drifter costume as picture below. When in his other persona as the Benefactor he wears a Black and white film noir get-up complete with a black, white and grey trench coat, fedora, and a screen mask that makes his skin look grey with a domino mask over it, adding to the film grain aesthetic. The costume includes a four inch purple lapel pin that shows the Comedy and Tragedy masks from theater. It is the only piece of colour in the ensemble.


Date of Birth: 1980/6/14

Gender: Male

Race: Hispanic

Supernormal Category: Standard Deviation Human

Powers/Skills/Training: Superhuman Intuition and Reflexes (He can often figure out what people are about to do it so fast it's like he can see the future.), as well as peak physical condition. He’s learned MMA and how to fire guns (in a Wild West appropriate manner only).

Equipment/Property: A large assortment of costumes and props (given as gifts from films he has acted), as well as a fancy apartment. Of course, he always carries his signature revolvers from his best known role in Arizona Sun. He usually wears his cowboy hat as well, unless he is out crimefighting for the Masks, where he is wearing a traditional 1950's noir detective's outfit.

History: Nicolas Garcia was once a detective in another big city. He was tenacious and he always strove to make a difference but the detective life really started to wear on him. Month after month, year after year he put as many as he could behind bars but no matter how many he put away there were always more out there. Eventually he resolved to get away from it all. He faked his death and used some connections he had in order to take on a new identity as an orphan with no family.

A few lucky auditions netted him his big break, and made him a famous actor known for his roles in Westerns and action movies, Hector uses his powers to ensure he’ll always have a job in cinema. His enhanced reflexes and intuition made his trademark quick draw famous on the big screen.

After several years of acting he started to miss what little he could do to make a difference. This time he decided to join the league of masks so that he could make more of a difference without all the red tape. As it turned out the organization was pretty much always hurting for money so he started funneling significant portions of his fortune into the cause. Hence his persona as the Benefactor. When it's time for crime fighting or other Masks activities, he dresses like a 50's noir hero.

Legal Status: Standard US Citizen (technically his identity if fake but he did it well enough that he was never discovered.)

Group Membership: Very few people know this, but he was a former member of the NYPD, and achieved the rank of Detective, which he holds with pride. Also, the secret Benefactor of the League of Masks, which entails providing them with the funds and possible contacts they'll need, as well as keeping them out of the spotlight, should the need arise.

Awesome. I'm cleaning up some problems that happened in the transfer right now. I lost a lot of linebreaks somehow. then I'll add in the groups that you can be a part of. Let me know if you have an idea for a group or a character.

By group you mean like government, gang or police.

[the Forge]

Right now that main ones are The police(if you're a supernormal you'll probably be in the NYPD SWAT team.), the Department of Supernormal Enforcement (or might be renamed to Department of Supernormal Affairs), the League of Masks (an illegal charity where people donate services and materials to fight crime. the services are typically beating people up but might also be healing or repairing your equipment or outfitting you with overtechnology.) and the New York Special Collections Network who are similar to the league of masks but they work for money rather than charity and tend to show up on both the good and bad side.

As for criminal gangs; none have been created yet.

Also, I think I got all the line breaks in. I'm gonna start building the group sheets now.

OK I hear you, I have an idea for a criminal gang.

Edit: how about The Faceless Spades, I will think up the details later, I just wanted to tell you the name.

Boom, here comes Drake!

Character Name / Designation:

"Drake" / genetically engineered lifeform

DoB / "Emergence from Facility":

12/10/2014

Category:

Genetically Engineered Lifeform

Physical Characteristics:

Height - 5' 11"
Length (tail to nostril) - 8' 5"
Width - 3' 4"
Wing span - 14' 7"
Colouration - Maroon and black-speckled scales with vibrant red underbelly, wing leather is same vibrant red with spotches of similar maroon colour
Eye colour - Very dark brown, similar to eyes of lizard species



Powers:

Flight - Genetically modified to have light bone structures similar to avian fauna, with a second pair of lungs full of hydrogen for buoyancy and flight capabilities controlled internally by Drake, large wing span provides movement and control
Fire-breathing - Hydrogen can be expelled at intense velocity, reacting with gullet minerals consumed by Drake to spark and produce fire, potency similar to other PK abilities
Natural Claws, Teeth
Enhanced Muscles - Genetically modified to have strengthened muscles with minimal bulkiness, allows for flight and very modest amount of super strength
Regeneration - Over relatively short durations of time, Drake has the capability of fully healing broken muscles and scarred tissue at such a pace that might otherwise be considered 'super', but require extended periods of uninterrupted rest to achieve the desired results

History:

Drake, originally classified as 'GA-418', is a genetically modified organism created as a side project under Doctor Birmingham Bayly, co-head of the Joint Helix Corporation. The organization itself was dedicated to the research of biological discoveries and applications, with more classified projects working on non-microscopic biological warfare products for British and NATO armies. On the 12th of October, 2014, a malfunction at their research facility, located in the Highlands of Scotland hours away from any populated regions, caused significant outbreak of genetically altered lifeforms to escape, including GA-418.

The exact age of Drake is impossible to calculate without further analysis, as there is no comparable lifeform to match its growth pattern to. Suffice to say that, given its capabilities and its origins, Drake may be classified as an extremely dangerous non-microscopic biohazard.

Legal Status:

Non-human organism. Until further analysis is complete, Drake may be classified as an extremely dangerous non-microscopic biohazard.

Legal Name: Anton Lepus

Alias(es): As an operative, 'Werwolf'.
Among those that know his origin, he is jokingly referred to as 'Ottobahn'.

Misc. Info

Physical Appearance: http://imgur.com/XG6sLeH

Anton Lepus stands 6’4” in his jackboots. He has dark blond hair, a thin mustache, and a dashing saber scar; he looks like a meatier version of Errol Flynn.

Race: Caucasian

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: October 1st 1977

Supernormal Category: Transgenic Hybrid

Powers/Skills/Training

Powers:
Primarily, Super Intelligence. While not exactly a Tony Stark-style inventor, he is a consummate schemer and manipulator- imagine supernatural cleverness rather than mechanical knowledge. (to balance out his other abilities, he can't/doesn't design and create overtech, but will happily make use of it).

Low-level super strength, speed, reflexes, and durability. This is a combination of good breeding(including supernormal DNA) and physical conditioning. For scale, he is easily an Olympic-level athlete, but a true superhuman speedster would leave him in the dust.

Skills/Training:
Anton is a learned man, by nature of his super intelligence, and has a very good grasp of many academic subjects including many foreign languages. He has been trained in many different methods of combat and war, from the individual level to the strategic, including special operations and espionage.

Anton is incredibly resistant to most any method of information retrieval. He has a high pain threshold, the skills to navigate questioning with ease and to evade modern methods of lie detection. More recently, Anton has learned to disguise his thoughts from mind reading with a combination of burying information, memetic activation, and disassociation.

As for hobbies, Anton has several. He is an excellent shot, a champion fencer, and a racing car driver.

Equipment/Property

Anton has no steady job but receives fairly steady income from his investments and assets which tally into the seven figures. If he doesn't own what he needs for a particular job, he can probably buy it, borrow it, or steal it.

History

After the Third Reich's defeat at the hands of the Allies in the Second World War, those members of the NDSAP and SS that weren't captured or killed scattered to the winds. Among those were famed Waffen SS commando Otto Skorzeny (b. 1908) and an unnamed Nazi mad-scientist, a counterpart to Mengele and von Braun.

While Skorzeny trawled France, Spain, and the Middle East for ODESSA, the Scientist found his haven in South America, and continued his experiments for the buried Reich.

When Skorzeny was diagnosed with cancer, the Scientist knew it would be a horrible blow to the number of groups making up the post-war 'Fascist International' were he to die. So he took a sample of the man's genome and spliced it together with samples of supernormal DNA, and made what we would now consider a 'test tube baby', resulting in an even more dangerous individual.

Ultimately, Skorzeny passed, killed by cancer in '75. But his genetic successor, christened Anton, was born and raised in the Nazi political underground of Argentina, where he was educated and trained.

Anton has left most of the ideology behind, retaining only as much of the identity as he needs to stay on good terms with his contacts in South America. Now he holds dual Argentine/US citizenship, making his base of operations in [insert city name here] while he builds up resources for his own agenda. The once and future "most dangerous man in Europe" has his finger in everything from cutting edge research to freelance espionage to bounty hunting.

Legal Name: Jack Pierre Kettering

Alias(es): Jack

Physical Appearance:
Height: 188 cm
Weight: 95 Kilos
Build: Rather muscular, with a layer of fat
Eye Colour: Blue eyes
Hair Colour: Lightish Brown
Clothes:Wears a black jacket, with khaki pants. He usually wears boots of some sort.

Race: Caucasian

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: 1986/10/3

Supernormal Category: Standard Deviation Human

Powers/Skills/Training: Chronokinesis:Ability to create a bubble accelerated or decelerated time.
Jack can prepare decent meals, stemming from times he has had to be a chef during his travels. He also has the capability to operate most communication technology, from telegraph keys to the very rudiments of quantum entanglement theory. He cans speak both English and French. Other skills include driving, basic marksmanship with a rifle, decent handling of a pistol, a working knowledge of knife fighting, and proper maintenance of weapons. He has about six years of training with his ability of Chronokinesis, which started once puberty set in. He went through training in the French Foreign Legion, and continued his training with his Chronokinesis in combat situations there. He also has trained in a unit designed to utilize his time manipulation abilities to their fullest.

Equipment/Property: Jack has a key for his apartment in New York, a holster for his pistol that is underneath his armpit, a blade kept on his shin, a cellphone, and his wallet. He wears a jacket reinforced with kevlar.

History: Jack was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan to a rather wealthy family. He picked up a fondness for cooking at a young age, which was encouraged by his mother. He did decently in school, until he started showing signs of powers around the age of thirteen. His mother was, Kendra Kettering was a Gravitokinetic, and his father, Adrian Kettering, possessed a super intellect and the ability to copy other psychokinetic powers, so Jack's potential as a super was rather likely.

He started being tutored in how to properly use his ability all through out the rest of his schooling, eventually deciding he'd do better utilizing his power to fight rather than for a civilian use, after ending up beating up a gang of seven people who tried to ambush him in an alley in Detroit, when he was sixteen. At that point, he started looking into a military career, seeing a path to hone himself to his fullest.

When he turned 19, he joined up with the French Foreign Legion, learning much of his military skills with his five years of service there. He served in several conflicts in the Middle-East and Africa, usually in a support capacity for a squad of soldiers. His service in the French Foreign Legion nearly removed his American citizenship, but due to never becoming a NCO in the Legion and the Legion never being hostile to the United States, he kept his US Citizenship. He was wounded in combat during his time in the Legion, granting him dual citizenship in both the US and France. After his service was over, he returned to the States, and took up residence in New York.

While in New York, he worked a bunch of odd jobs, usually in food joints and occasionally taking up a bit of muscle work. He eventually joined up with the NYSCN, trying to keep himself occupied with the jobs that were made available to him. He has been struggling to make ends meet through his work with them, and seeks something more to his life in New York.

Legal Status: Jack has registered voluntarily.
He is a former Legionnaire.
Jack has dual citizenship in both the US and France.
Jack does not have a criminal record.

Group Membership: He is associated with the NYSCN.

You still need height, weight, hair colour, eye colour, etc.

Also I'm not sure how this character will get involved in any events.
