Ever since the rain I’ve been waking on my own


Character you have created:
Gabriela "Gabi" Rivero

Alias:
Chaac, Crazy Axe Lady

Speech Color:
Plum

Character Alignment:
Hero

Identity:
Secret

Character Personality:
Fundamentally, Gabi constantly strives to do good, despite the cost. She comes across as tough and aggressive, although unbeknownst to most, this is merely her attempting to disguise the pain of losing her family. This pain also comes in the form of her constantly questioning and arguing with Chaac, whom she knows is watching over her, all because she blames him for the death of her father during Tropical Storm Agatha. 

She has a tough time making friends, but the relationships she does develop end up being extremely loyal and strong.

Origin Info/Details:
Many years ago, the Pantheon of Mayan Gods was alive with the same fire and power as that of the Olympians. 

One such member was Chaac; the God of Rain and Thunder. During the earliest days of mankind, people starved beneath the beating heat of the sun. That was until Chaac discovered a golden boulder deep within the mountains, and after breaking it in two with his mighty axe, he found maize, the crop that would change the Mayan people forever. Chaac was worshipped for bringing Maize to the world, however this soon went to his head. He began an affair with the wife of the Sun God, Kinich Ahau, his brother. After the affair’s discovery, in an act of regret, Chaac struck the sky with his axe, releasing his tears of regret in the form of rain. Since then, Chaac turned his attention solely on helping mankind. 

Even after the fall of the Mayan Civilization, the Mayan Gods lived on. In an attempt to keep their efforts alive, every 100 years, one God would select a Champion on Earth to represent them and their passion. Now, it was time for the God of Rain, to select a champion. 

And that champion was Gabriela Rivero. 

Gabi was born and raised in Guatemala City to a loving mother and father. Her family were fairly well off, with her father working as a professor at the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, an expert on Mayan Mythology. Because of this, Gabi often found herself falling asleep to the stories of the Mayan Gods. This was soon to change however when due to lack of funding, her father was fired from his job. With no income, the family found themselves in a dire situation, being push from their cushy life and into one of poverty. On top of this her mother soon grew ill. Without any money, they could only watch as her condition worsened, until after a few heartbreaking months, the inevitable happened.

Just as Gabi was beginning to find her place in the world after the loss of her mother, Tropical Storm Agatha struck the city. During the storm, the sewage system collapsed, creating a large sinkhole that completely swallowed Gabi’s entire street. Fortunately beforehand Gabi had made it out. However the same couldn’t be said for her father. After evacuating, Gabi discovered that they had forgotten to bring the last remaining photograph that they owned of her mother. Not wishing to see his daughter as distressed as she was, her father went back in order to retrieve it. A mere minute more and he would have made it back. 

Heartbroken, Gabriela found herself alone and broken.

After a while of working practically every hour of the day and only barely managing to scrape by, Gabi joined an illegal logging expedition, hoping to make some decent money for once. All the while she kept her head down, avoiding the armed guards who had been hired to keep away the authorities. It had only been a month when while deep in the jungles, the guards were finally put to good use. During the gun fight, Gabi attempted to make some sort of escape, sprinting into the woods. 

She soon came across a humungous valley cutting deep into the forest. The pure sight of it was breath-taking, compelling Gabi, lumber axe still in hand, to explore it further. As she made her way to the bottom, she soon laid eyes upon something she recognised from her late father’s bedtime stories; a Mayan Temple. A voice in her head told her to enter, and so she did. Inside was something that surprised her even further; a golden boulder. As soon as she saw it, she knew exactly what to do. Taking her lumber axe, she raised it above her head and with a powerful swing broke the rock in two. 

At once the temple door’s slam shut, thunder echoing loudly. The skies darkened, filled with clouds. And then it began to rain. The water poured in through the temple’s skylight, flooding the room unnaturally fast. Trapped, Gabi began to panic. She was going to drown. As she tried her best to escape, that same voice from before spoke to her. She let the water engulph her as she now knew. She was to be Chaac’s champion. The waters empowered her, making her stronger. Wiser. Then as quickly as the room had filled, it emptied, the water draining away into nothingness and the door sliding open as if nothing had happened. But something had happened.

Gabi, now blessed by Chaac, instantly sought to put her newfound abilities to good use. With her axe in hand, she returned to Guatemala City, intent on bringing justice to the criminals that plagued her home. And as expected of the Mayan Champions, she took on the name of her creator, becoming Chaac.

After stopping a group of crooks who had been trying to escape in a getaway car, Chaac soon found herself surrounded by a number of black federal looking SUVs. Such a sight was all too rare in Guatemala City. It was then that she found himself introduced to a British man named Stephen Colbert. It was here that she learnt that one of her newfound abilities was being able to speak and understand any language she heard. Colbert revealed that he had become extremely interested in Chaac ever since he had seen her introduction to the world on the news. He informed her that his company, Colbert International, was aiming to partner with younger and newer heroes in an effort to assist them with their heroics financially and politically. He invited Chaac to join, although before the young hero could, she realized that the men that had surrounded her were all armed. As she began to decline, she found them all aimed at her. Before they could open fire or capture her however, a magical door seemed to appear infront of her; revealing a number fellow teenage superheroes. After fending off Colbert’s men, Gabi left with them through the door, strangely finding herself inside an empty diner.  

Here the three teenagers introduced themselves; their leader was Adam Pullen, a young man whose energy manipulating abilities seemed to be controlled by his confidence. As such he referred to himself as Kid Awesome. Next came Mason Shaw, the team’s technopath and resident IT guy. He was Gizmo. Finally was Maisie Andrews, apparently one of the many granddaughters of the legendary Baba Yaga. The "diner" belonged to her, with her having accidentally sent the building to a pocket dimension of her creation, with the door being able to open anywhere on Earth.

The group revealed that instead of partnering up with young superheroes, Colbert had been in fact capturing and experimenting on them. The team had been formed after he had attempted to capture them. Gabi agreed to join their fight against Colbert and rescue the rest of the teenagers that he had captured.

Hero Type:
Mystic / Supernatural

Power Level:
City Level - Potentially World Level

Powers:
Gabi has been blessed by the God of Rain himself, giving her a number of abilities. These include;

Weather Manipulation:
Due to Chaac being the God of Rain, Gabi is able to manipulate the weather, calling upon rain or even thunderstorms at will.

Rain Rejuvenation:
When in contact with rain water, Gabi finds herself rejuvenated, gaining a disproportionate amount of superhuman clarity, strength, speed, agility, and endurance.

Axe of Chaac:
Possibly one of Gabi's most useful attributes is her axe. While it had originated as a simple lumber axe, after being blessed by Chaac, the Axe now resembles that of Chaac's very own weapon. Firstly, it is one of the most powerful weapons ever made, with the ability to cut through any earthly material. The weapon can also be used to help Gabi to direct her weather manipulation, much like a wand for example. However if someone else was to use the axe, it would function just like any other axe. This is because the axe's properties aren't confined to that specific axe, instead to Gabi herself. Upon picking up another random axe, that weapon would then become the Axe of Chaac, with the old one returning to just a regular blade.

Godly Metamorphosis:
As Gabi makes use of her Godly powers, her body gradually begins to take the form of Chaac himself, the change starting from her axe hand. So far at its worse, her metamorphosis hasn't spread no more than halfway up her arm, with her body haven't begun to be coated with dark blue scales, reminiscent of Chaac's.

Gabi is able to instantly communicate in any earthly dialect.

Supporting Characters:

Maisie was shocked to discover her family secret that she was actually the Granddaughter of Baba Yaga, a mystical being of Slavic Folklore. Because of this, Maisie discovered that she was in fact able to tap into the Arcane Stream. While experimenting with her new found magical abilities, she created a pocket dimension, where she accidently sent the diner that she had been working in. Luckily no one else had been inside at the time. Unfortunately she found that she was unable to send it back, however upon further experimentation, she discovered that she could manipulate the diner's entrance so that it could open up anywhere in the world.

Originating from Canada and the self proclaimed leader of the group, Adam has the ability of flight, super strength, as well as energy blasts. His abilities rely on his confidence however, meaning that the more he believes in himself and what he is doing, the stronger he is, and the less susceptible to damage he becomes. This of course means that he can be an arrogant jerk.

The team's resident tech guy, Mason is a technopath. Despite his abilities however, he's more comfortable behind a computer screen rather than out in the action. Constantly struggling to find a way of setting up WIFI in the mysterious library.

Head of Colbert International, Stephen is a mysterious business man who seeks to capture and experiment on teenage superheroes, the reason for which remains unknown to the group. Colbert has offices all around the world, most noticeably in Pacific Point, Richmond and Grant City

Sample Post:

“I can’t believe Deke kicked us out!” Fred Myers complained aloud as he stumbled along the New York street. Behind him the rest of his motley “crew” followed, all of which looked worse for wear. That wasn’t all too surprising considering the brawl that they had just walked away from after all. That the excessive amount of alcohol they had just finished drinking. This was apart from Speed Demon however, who continued forward with a smile on a face a recently stolen hot dog in his hand. 

Fred was about to monologue further about the hardships of this evening when Herman spoke up.

“I can’t believe that we actually won that fight!” He gave a short cheer as he spoke, although it was short-lived due to him wincing in pain from his badly swollen lips.

“I can’t believe that no one’s vomited yet” James stated, his eyes flickering intensely between them. 

All in all, Herman did have a good point. It had been a good fight, and of course the best team came out victorious. After Fred had introduced the sharp end of his trusty boomerang to the back of Hippo’s knees, the big guy had fallen fast. After that, the rest of the losers in that place had gone done easy. It would seem that Big Wheel wasn’t all that useful without that giant ferris wheel car of his. Although truth be told, he was never really useful with it either. The rest of the bar’s drunken patrons followed suit, leaving the floor in a mess of blood, booze, bodies and broken bar stools. So obviously Deke, the barkeep, wasn’t all too happy.

Despite its abrupt end due to them getting kicked out, it had honestly been a good night. The thought of it caused a grin to spread across Fred’s drunken face. 

“What the…hic are you smiling at?” Morris inquired, his speech beginning to slur slightly. 

At that Fred began to stop, deciding to enlighten them all on his thoughts. He turned on the spot and faced them, his grin widening. 

“Well mate, I just realized that maybe you guys really do have what it takes to complete this heist after all!” 

At the word heist everyone simultaneously groaned. 

“What the hell is it with you and this heist?!”

“We just want to…hic h-have a nice night,”

“What the hell does the Owl have that’s worth stealing anyway?”

Fred rolled his eyes at the all the questions that his peers threw at him. The ungrateful bastards! After everything he’d done for them? He was about to just scoff and leave it for another time, when that final question met his ears. What did the Owl have? The mere thought of it made Fred smirk. And the mere thought of what they’d make of it made Fred laugh aloud slightly. After a couple more blank looks and complaints, he decided to tell them, like the loyal boss he was.

“Boys, I happen to know that ol’ Owly happens to own a painting.”

“A painting?” Herman laughed loudly. “Why the fuc-“

“A painting of Doctor Doom himself.” Fred continued, cutting him off. “Without his mask.”

Silence filled the New York street as the words left his mouth. The three of them stared at their leader in shock, their eyes and mouths widening. 

“So what do you say, mates?” Fred followed up, gesturing at them encouragingly. 

At that remark, Herman balled over, hands on his knees, vomiting loudly onto the street floor. 

“Now there’s the vomit!” Speed Demon stated cheerfully as he raised his phone to take a picture.

Boomerang will return in All-Star Marvel Season 2
