Sidekick application ;)

Street Medium Level

Hex

Basic Information
=========
Superhero/Villain Name: Hex (Witch Kid)
”The name’s Hex, next one to call me Witch Kid is getting a rhombic hex up their ass. Bet you’ll get it right next time, huh?”
Civilian Name: Thomas ‘Tom’ Toombs
Origin City/Planet: Gotham, Earth
Hometown: Gotham
Sex: Male
Race: Human (Caucasian), Homo Magi (Active), Part-Anodite (Activated by Spell)
Height: 5’6 ft, 167 cm
Weight: 123 lbs, 56 kg
Age: 16 Birth Date: February 19, 2003
--------
Costumed Appearance: There are several layers to Hex’s disguise, the simplest being the outfit itself; dark with violet trims and thin magic-resistant iron plates, being overall quite lightweight. The headpiece can be somewhat more varied; at times Hex can be seen in his human visage, but usually this is only when he is in a safe location or surrounded by friends. Alternatively there is a hood that can be pulled, matching the outfit with dark fabric and purple lines, and bespelled to stay up and hide the top of his face in shadow- except for the two glowing eyes. There’s also a helmet variant, safe to work on motorcycles, underwater, or even in space. The last layer comes in the form of a shapeshifting spell, allowing him to take the glowing form of an Anodite, used in more demanding situations and never for purely cosmetic reasons though looking like a glowing alien does wonders for concealing his identity.

Stoomed

--------

Civilian Appearance: Brown hair and green eyes, it can sometimes be difficult to tell he and his father are related. His attire is usually pretty normal, nothing exceptionally obscure or arcane visible on his person. He easily passes for normal, if slightly dorky.

Civvy

--------

Icon: A pink circle with opposing lines that form something vaguely triangular.

Symbol

Costumed Personality: Hex is dominantly quite childish, but eager to prove himself and thus attempts to wear maturity like a mask, donning a small but noticeable level of seriousness to appear like he knows what he’s doing, but in fact it’s mostly a game to him and it shows when he gets carried away, recklessly diving forward when excited, regardless of the danger. He still relies heavily on his father’s skill and experience, though he pretends he doesn’t.
Civilian Personality: Tom is a nice guy, friendly, or that’s what his classmates say. He rarely has problems with anyone, but neither does he truly have friends. Magic, studying, and his father, those are his focus, everything else is held at arm’s length.
Super abilities:
-Skills:

• Rune Lore/Geometry: Tom loves shapes, the only thing more amazing is magical shapes. Diagrams and matrices and runes, Tom loves them and knows a lot about them.

-Powers:

• Anodite Form: Anodites are an alien species particularly suited to magic, under the Master’s inspection Tom learned he had Anodite ancestry in his genes, and thus a rare opportunity; shapeshifting would not come easy to Tom, it was complicated and difficult, but by tapping into his Anodite powers Tom could perform a spell to take the form of one, and thus boosting his magical power whilst transformed and allowing him to fly. Tom has been warned not to rely on the spell however, as Anodites are a peculiar species and so very inhuman it could become detrimental to overuse the form.
• Magic: Tom doesn’t know much magic- sure he knows a fair bit of lore, and he can write just about anything in three different ways using runes, but in actual spellcraft his techniques are limited and sloppy- although it is magic, and shouldn’t be underestimated. Possibly due to his Anodite heritage, his magic takes on a bright violet coloration.

-Gadgets:

• Ring of Seeking: A simple silver ring hanging from a chain around his neck capable of detecting and tracing magical energies.
• Ring of Shielding: A simple golden ring, also hanging on the chain around his neck, this one is capable of forming a golden shield a few inches from his body, but unlike the Ring of Seeking this one must be fueled by his own energy or it will quickly shatter.

-Weapons: None.
Civilian Occupation: Student at Gotham City High School.

Biography
---------

Character History/Origin:

Tom was born and raised in Gotham, a city of crime and bloodshed as much as a city of prestige and wealth. He could have turned out worse, and he knows many who certainly have, but Tom is fairly laidback and generally a good person, though there were a few times after his mom died that he may have lashed out harsher than necessary… but no one knows about that, and no one ever will.

Nowadays he fills his time with one of three things; video games, as all geeks must, school, as all kids must, and magic, of which there is no doubt he must pursue. His father has not always taken him with him, and often leaves him behind for the more dangerous or lengthy excursions, worried either for his life or his grades, but Tom tags along when he can, and studies when he can't.

Optional information
----------
Nemesis: None yet.
Allies: The Master, an old and powerful wizard who trained his father, and now occasionally spares a lesson here and there for Tom whenever they meet.
Team: Clayton Toombs (Father/Mentor)

@The Whacko Cue evil laughter and sinister hand rubbing :P I will def hop on that if someone else doesn't first

@Cu Chulainn White is such a lovely hair color dont you think ;)

@astralGeminiI'm okay with multiple characters, though I usually confine it to things like having both a hero and villain character, and a sidekick character to another player.

@Blackstripe

Yeee, I was thinking about doing that for someone maybe. Dunno who yet, and I might hold off on that offer until we're a bit further along and sidekick would make sense, but I was thinkin it :P

Worlds Apart

It took a full minute for the information to sink in and the insistent shards of dread prickling the edges of his mind to be waved off. "Oh," he quietly said, mostly to himself. The single expression summed up the myriad of emotions the Ghost Girl's explanation provided; surprise, skepticism, curiosity, realization, worry... but then that was gone again and he was focused. Mind racing to put the new pieces of information together in his mind and investigate every detail for the answers he sought. The biggest question in his mind? Will this kill me? Short answer? Who knows. Long answer? The Girl wasn't normal, he believed that, and science hadn't been able to explain everything before, there were fields that explored spirituality and souls, and some of what was happening here was possible, in theory anyway... It would be just like that time mom suddenly took a year to study in Papua New Guinea and discovered a bacteria that ate cancer cells. Only in this case he'd be jumping in front of a train instead of remote jungle wilderness and instead of genetic engineering or molecular biology he'd be trusting... pseudoscience. Great.

Koda liked his body, he worked hard on getting it this way, he didn't want it destroyed. What if when it was reassembled, it wasn't like he wanted it anymore? What if it was...?

He looked at the tracks where the last girl to come, the salty one, had already jumped into place, then he looked to the mask. Something stirred in his mind as he stared at the empty glass, it was a feeling of... hunger. His skepticism and worry evaporated and he glanced around at the others with a gleam in his eye. There was power there, and this was a chance to- to know. He had to know.

The grin was unconscious, and as he looked around the dingy subway at the huddled group, Koda knew which side he had chosen. Risk and reward, a basic principle of economics. He hopped down onto the tracks, letting his smile fade and raising a challenging eyebrow at the girl already down there- Tabitha her name was. Let her judge him, let them all judge him, soon he'd have what he wanted or he'd be dead and it wouldn't matter, but for now... he would risk.

I don't think there's anything having two lanterns, if that's what you'd enjoy playing most ;)

Looks fun @pyroman ;P

Heroes Reborn - A DCAU Roleplay (Always open!)

Perhaps analogue was the wrong word, but more like... similar concept y'know?

Heroes Reborn - A DCAU Roleplay (Always open!)

@Blackstripe Done. :P I've also added the icon image now.

Right now I place him at a high medium, but there's potential for rising up to a High Powerhouse Aquaman analogue later if we want. He could always find himself in charge of a small Ectonian colony (Atlantis analogue?) or granted an ectoplasmic artifact cough crownoffire cough ringofrage coughcough (trident/lantern ring analogue?) or both, or neither if you prefer.

I also mentioned that the term ectoplasm may not be exactly right, and that there was some mythology about the nature of their sun that led the Ectonians to believe it was spiritual energy, meaning Echo's translation may not be spot on. I'm still gonna call it ectoplasm, but as for how relevant the energy is to our spiritual/magical comrades I'll leave that up to someone else, as Echo and his kind took a decidedly scientific approach and mixed just enough mysticism in to be spooky. :P
