Felicity Stark

“Awesome!” Michael said happily, toning down his voice at Sam’s warning. The tall boy quickly moved over to the living room where he plopped down on the floor, the ground shaking a little at his weight. But, Michael didn’t notice, not sparing the sleeping girl a glance. (Felicity did, of course. A quick glance as if checking if she was a threat. Then again, Felicity was rather ‘overprotective’.) He was distracted by the TV.

Felicity’s smile softened at the sight of him and her heart warmed. Only her brother was capable of eliciting such an emotion from her.

But, she was brought from her happy feelings as Sam caught her attention. Giving her brother another glance, she moved over to the side away from her brother.

She’d initially felt suspicious and worried, wondering what sort of bad news would come up NOW. But, it wasn’t what she’d expected. Sam was… concerned for her. He’d wanted her to be… safe? She could feel the concern and… confusion? It came off of him in waves. The confusion was what got her. Why was HE the confused one?

But, she couldn’t sit there and analyze his emotions for the rest of the day. SO, instead, she adjusted her sunglasses before widening her grin for him.

“Glad ya care, Sammy. Don’ worry, though. I’m a big girl, I can handle myself.” The look of her smile changed a bit as if she knew something he didn’t. “Trust me, 'kay?”

Her eyes flickered to her brother once more before she forced herself to move. Going towards the door, she gave Sam one more look. “Thanks, dude. For, uh, watchin’ Michael. And the whole concern thing… thanks.” Smile a bit uncomfortable at the sentiment, she gave a quick nod before leaving.

Outside the apartment, her smile finally fell. Expression serious for once, she glanced around the deserted hallway. Knowing there were no cameras and feeling safe in her abilities, she mentally prepared herself.

Finally. A quiet voice murmured in the back of her head which she POINTEDLY ignored before Felicity disappeared with an almost indiscernible ‘pop’.

Want some of that sweet, sweet MxM loving!

@TlstifflI'd be up for something in the 'Slice of Life' category or the 'Dark Subjects' category.

Maybe the Depressed Kid x Savior or the Guy in closet x very openly gay guy and/or best friend x best friends. Yeah... you have quite a few good ones in there so, uh... yeah.

This is, of course, if you're still looking.

@Infamous EmpathThanks, dude.

Gemstone Warriors

*breathes heavily*

That's about all I got for now. I literally lost track of how many people had joined and stuff while typing. Then again, matches up pretty well to my character's 'uncaring' attitude. She'd forget some people too.

Gemstone Warriors

Now, despite her ‘rocker’ appearance and attitude, Lexi much preferred a more ‘behind the scenes’ approach in serious situations. I mean, sure. There were a BUNCH of people showing up and there were a BUNCH of introductions being given. Names, faces, it all blurred together at a certain point. She didn’t offer much in terms of introduction as they came around to her.

To be frank, she was kinda ‘meh’ about the whole thing. The only reason she came was due to some nagging curiosity that wouldn’t allow her to move on.

@KatherinWinter
She only really snapped to attention when a random chick appeared in the room. Weird, she’d thought before going back to her thoughts.

@Arya10108909
Then, a quiet girl came in who was all suttery and kinda adorable in an ‘Aww, what a sweet cinnamon roll. Protect them!’ kinda way… kinda. She’d offered a small 2-fingered wave before losing interest.

But then, the older guy started FINALLY speaking and she ended up muttering a ‘finally’ under her breath, leaning forward…

Are we, like, superheroes or something? That was her first thought, her second one being, admittedly, more child-like. Awesome! And the small smirk on her face was the only betrayer of her feelings on the subject.

@TechnoWizROK
BUT, it only gets MORE interesting when some dude with a fireball in his hand comes clambering in loudly. The only response her got from her was a huff and eye roll. She wasn’t impressed by his grandiose opening.

Always gotta have the one pyro, I knew something was missing.

But, she ignored the pyro to focus on the only person giving any sort of answers. And the look she gave was one of disbelief. Seriosuly? An evil is coming and we’re the only ones who can stop it due to these magic multi-colored gems coming to each of us? Wait a tick…

Her eyes narrowed slightly before she finally spoke for the first time since all of these people started pouring in.

“So… are we the Power Rangers or some crap? I mean, you say that there’s this ‘threat’ coming and only we can stop it. Can we get, like, a time estimate or some kind of explanation as to what our powers are ‘capable of’ or whatever? I mean, you’ve gotta admit this is kinda… a lot, to say the least.”

Gemstone Warriors

*cracks knuckles*

Time to play catch-up! Hmm...

Sewer Rats

Hmm... I hope that I had the right estimates for how long it would take to get places. I tried to work in where they're located (the underground, that is) to give you a better idea as to where they are. Hope it's okay!

And I should be getting my internet issues fixed so I should become a more... reliable presence in this. Sorry!

Sewer Rats

We’ve got a feisty Latina, dark and foreign, a kid, the homely one, and… possibly the quiet but strong type? Huh.

Personally, she thought that the idea to have this new man enter the premises was a good idea. Sure, a bit risky but… she wasn’t an idiot. There was strength in numbers and more numbers, the more people that could have out scavenging or have around to defend. Those creatures? They aren’t the first to make their way into the sewers and they won’t be the last. It’d be better to have more people around to defend.

He seemed like a good fighter, if a bit nervous. Then again, the man was greeted with implied violence/death so… she couldn’t necessarily fault him for that.

When everyone was inside, she’d immediately scanned the outside for any more approaching baddies but was glad to see the coast clear. She would prefer to close the door and maybe have a breather. But, there was still the manner of the stranger.

With a soundless sigh, she closed the door quietly before moving a bit more into the room. Her eyes flickered to the kid and she felt a bit of tension leave her at seeing the girl safe. Regardless of the apocalypse, she’d prefer to keep the kid out of it as much as possible. Maybe we could have her do some jobs around the base to keep it up to date…? She mused, mind already whirring with ideas.

But, she was brought from them when the Latina mentioned needing parts. A car shop was nearby, she’d added. Lavender’s eyes drifted to the side in thought. From what she could remember, the closest manhole cover (and the only way out in the area.) was on Bedford Avenue. And on the same street was a car shop. It would take roughly… 3 minutes to walk there from the top? It would be easy… as long as there were no surface creatures.

Nodding partly to herself and the Latina. “It would be about a 3 minute trip… It’s… close by on the topside…” She’d said to her, a small smile to prove that she was for the idea.

But, alas, there were more pressing matters.

She returned her attention to the man-oh, right. Elijah- who’d asked if he could stay with them. She already had her mind set. But, this wasn’t some dictatorship, it wasn’t just her decision.

She turned to the others, giving a nod to those that met her eye, letting them know that she was a firm vote in him staying.

Maddox Maddington

Name: Maddox Maddington

Nickname: Dox

Hero Name: Detox

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Height: 6’4

Weight: 188 lbs.

Personality: Maddox is… interesting. He’s more of the lazy, sit on the couch and watch re-runs of Family Guy kinda person. He comes across as rather uncaring and easy-going most of the time, hardly ever seen without a smile and usually wearing the same clothes. But, despite his so-called happiness and his chill persona, he’s actually a pretty serious individual.

Don’t let the fact that he tells puns and is cracking jokes 24/7 push you away from the truth. Truth being, he’s done some… not-so-nice things in his past and has plenty of time to do more bad things. But, he has a good heart and is loyal, practically to a fault. Excellent judge of character with keen observation skills, he’s definitely the kind of guy you’d want on your side.

Bio: Gotta have a few secrets, eh?

Quirk: Teleportation: Maddox has the ability to teleport anywhere within a blink of an eye. As long as it’s within his field of view or he’s recently been there within the past 24 hours, he can go there. He refers to it as ‘passing through a door and stepping into the snow’. A brief chill before he’s wherever he needs to be. However, the more he does it, the more tired he becomes. It could become an issue during an extended fight considering he can’t dodge forever.

Abilities/Special Moves:
1.) Can teleport extremely fast in rapid succession, temporarily making him disappear. However, it drains him pretty quickly so he can only keep it up for about 7-10 seconds at most.

2.) Can teleport into the sky continuously, giving the illusion of flight. Can tire him out if he does it too much. Gravity is a thing, after all.

3.) Can teleport other objects, able to use them as projectiles or weapons. The heavier, the more effort it takes.

Hero Costume:

(Similar to this except in various shades of white, light blue, grey, and dark blue.)

Hero Gear:
1.) Metal baseball bat (Attached to hip)

What the writing says, if you’re curious. (He’s a huge Doctor Who fan, FYI. He loves science.)

Okay then. That's what I'll do; I will tell you a story. Can you hear them? All these people who lived in terror of you and your judgement. All these people who's ancestors devoted themselves, sacrificed themselves to you. Can you hear them singing? Oh, you like to think you're a god. You're not a god, you're just a parasite, eaten out with jealousy and envy and longing for the lives of other. You feed on them, on the memory of love and loss and birth and death and joy and sorrow! So... So... Come on, then. Take mine. Take my memories. But I hope you've got a big appetite because I've lived a long life and I've seen a few things. I walked away from the Last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe and I watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time. No space. Just me. I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a madman. I've watched universes freeze and creations burn. I have seen things you wouldn't believe. I have lost things you will never understand. And I know things, secrets that must never be told and knowledge that must never be spoken. Knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze. So come on then! Take it! Take it all, baby! Have it! You have it all!

2.) Lock-Picking Kit (Inside his coat pocket.)

&

Jax Evenn

Name: Jax Evenn

Nickname: J (Pronounced like ‘Jay’)

Hero Name: He was gonna go with Mindfuck, but because of the whole ‘inappropriate’ thing, he decided to go with ‘Double Vision’. (No matter how much he whines.)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Height: 5’10

Weight: 132 lbs.

Personality: Jax is… who you’d refer to as an interesting guy. Unlike his calm and collected partner, he’s the more… outgoing one of the two. While Maddox is easy-going and reasonably friendly if a little cautious around strangers, Jax… is blunt, crude, and very open with his thoughts and feelings. And as for volume control and shame? Non-existent.

He is also extremely active and is always running around and wanting to go do stuff. He is also a bit overconfident and likes to think of himself as this… standout person. That the whole world is just a giant chess board and that he is the player, moving the pieces every which way. Of course, he isn’t like this to Maddox. Keeping his character while also being a lot nicer and protective. If there were ever proof of the Great Jax Evann having a heart… it’d be whenever he was with Maddox.

Despite his short temper and his apparent disgust and annoyance regarding people, he can also be a bit of a joker. With a darker sense of humor sure, but deep down? He’s a truly good guy who would risk his life for the world if it came down to it. Sure, his good side may seem non-existent but if you nag and dig deep enough? You’re golden. Also, don't talk about his right eyes... just don't.

Bio: You try to ask out of nowhere, he’ll get one of his clones to punch you in the face.

Quirk: Clones: He has the ability to create exact clones of himself. He controls everything they do unless he puts some more of his energy into them so that they would be able to walk around, talk, and do stuff. The more energy he adds, the more like Jax they become. Of course, they still have to listen to him and all that but otherwise, you couldn’t tell the difference. The more he creates, the longer he has them out, and the amount of energy he puts into them tires him out more and more.

Abilities/Special Moves:
1.) He can focus all of his energy into one clone to create this kind of supercharged ver. of himself with enhanced strength, stamina, and speed. However, he become almost completely exhausted afterwards.

2.) If he has a clone out when he dies, he can hop into that clone and kinda ‘cheat death’ in a way, as he would use the other clone copy as a vessel for himself.

3.) He can hop from clone to clone causing him to seemingly teleport considering he is able to move from, say, a restaurant to 3 miles away into his other clone at an amusement park. However, hopping around like that takes a lot of energy.

Hero Costume:

(Similar to this except replace the white with red and replace the skulls with jester hats. Get rid of the face mask.)

Hero Gear:
1.) Mallet (Attached to back)

The writing says 'haha' over and over again.

2.) Slingshot (Attached to his waist in a little holster.)

(Yes, these 2 characters are both a pair. However, they can be requested seperately.)

Name: Victoria Hamell
Age: 29
Alias: 0nyx
Skills/Abilities:

• Victoria is very intelligent with a genius-level IQ. She uses her intelligence for her own use as a ‘Hacker – for – Hire’. In doing this, she has extensive knowledge in all things computer and tech related.
• She, while a complete recluse, is still talented in regards to her skills in technology. Outside of hacking, she is talented in creating things like bombs (Like smoke bombs and flash bombs).
• She is very observant and perceptive, usually being able to break someone down and make good estimates as to who they are as a person. With that, comes the talent of picking out when someone is lying. When all you do for a living is hack into people’s private lives and spy on them for information and otherwise, you learn to pick up little… tells for people.
• She is very knowledgeable in regards to random information and random facts. She spends a lot of time indoors and reading, and when she goes outside she’s listening to music and reading, so she picks up a lot of information about a lot of different topics. Ask her about something and, most likely, she’ll be able to give you a Wikipedia-esc type of response. (With a bit more accuracy, of course.)

Biography: Victoria was born in Swindon, Wiltshire, England to a mother and father. Unfortunately, there were complications during the birth of Victoria and her twin brother. So, her mother passed away soon after leaving the twins with their mourning father. The twins grew up the best way they could regarding the circumstances. Both going through the stage of dressing the same, acting the same, finishing each other’s sentences, and even speaking in unison. It freaked their father out a little bit at first but he got over it soon enough.

It wasn’t until middle school, and more specifically puberty, hit that they finally began to develop their own thing. As it turns out, Victoria’s brother Vincent thrived in social situations and had a charming personality to balance everything out. While, on the other hand, Victoria was discovered to have really bad social anxiety. It’s just that whenever she was with her brother, she was able to keep up and mask and insecurities and nervousness she felt as she fed of her brother’s confidence. But, alone? She could barely make it through a conversation without needing to quickly leave or have some sort of anxiety attack.

It was due to this that her father had no choice but to homeschool her. And it was truly a shame considering her amazing IQ and amazing brain in general. But, it needed to be done. So, the twins drifted apart as years went on and as highschool went by. Vincent thrived and grew up, become the popular guy. While not nearly as smart as his sister, he made up for it with his physical prowess. He was on the football team and was the jock. But wasn’t an asshole, luckily.

Victoria? She rarely left the estate, and when she did it was either to visit her father’s office (He was an accomplished doctor.), go to the woods, or go to a small somewhat underground café that was deemed ‘unpopular’ due to its quirky geeky-esc nature. Victoria thrived there. And she only got smarter and smarter as she read and studied and learned, sometimes going days without sleep as she stayed up learning about computers and tech.

Graduating highschool early at 16, she then began to get into hacking. Sure, she’d been curious and had been teaching herself on and off for a few years but it was nothing serious. It wasn’t until she first got paid for getting the login details to this guy’s ex-girlfriend’s email that she realized what she could do with her life.

She got bored really easily and had a hard time socializing with people in person. But, over the internet or through a screen? She was able to thrive and the echoes of her twin brother and his charm were evident. So, it was then that she came up with the name ‘0nyx’ and decided to just go with it. She spent the next 2 years working as an anonymous hacker who was willing to do whatever… for a price. She’d done everything from petty stuff like giving exes the ability to get revenge to helping out the police force in locating drug warehouses. And no one knew who she was, it was the perfect cover.

And when she was 18, she left England to travel to the states. More specifically, to Gotham. Why Gotham? Well, she’d been talking with this guy online. They’d met after she’d done a job for him involving a prank he wanted to pull on his ‘Evil Stepsister’. She was more than happy to give him all the information he needed and they just… clicked. He became her first real friend… and eventually something more. Then one day, out of the blue, he’d told her that he thought someone was following him. Then, a few days later, he was gone. And all she knew was that he lived in Gotham. So, as soon as she was able to leave, she said goodbye to her father and brother and went off to try and find out what happened to him.

Buying a small shitty apartment while planning to stay only a few days, she set out to look for him… in her own way. From hacking security cameras to running facial recognition software, she did whatever she could to try and find out where he went and to find out where he was in the city if he was even still there. Just in case.

A few days turned into a few weeks which turned into a few months which turned into 9 years. She’d even expanded her reach and asked a few contacts of hers in different areas and countries to keep an eye out for him but to no avail. He just vanished into thin air and the idea of him being dead was becoming something she could no longer ignore. Finally, at 27, she stopped the search. The loss hit her hard and only sent her further into seclusion. Now, she can no longer handle going outside for periods of time longer than 3 hours without immediately needing to return to her home. She also requires a constant distraction so as to not freak out.

So, she only further branched out her roots and spent the next 2 years continuing to build up her name and underground reputation as ‘0nyx’, remaining anonymous and burying herself within her work. (Verging on L from Death Note territories, man.) Interestingly enough, she still retains her accent due to her not experiencing anything outside of her own world, really. She also still keeps in contact with her father and brother (Who is now a famous athlete in football… of course.) and they visit her from time to time.
