The Stakeout had been fun. Using her wire form to get into the ventilation system, shehad been able to record all the comings and goings. There was no doubt that invitations for the auction were being held here. She recorded everything that was being said which was then sent back to Rose for analysis. The passwords may be useful but there was no guarantee that the same passwords would be in use for the auction itself. It also didn't help that if customers and contacts had conversation, the whole thing was nonsensical and likely entirely in code. Still, there was likely something that the buys back at base could decypher from her recordings.

Her phone silently buzzed in her pocket. She'd recieved a text.

You could stare all week and not learn anything more. Not what is sold, not how people get in.

I have information that can help you with this. Why don't you come meet me tomorrow, 6PM?

-Auri

There were so many questions. How did this person know her number? How did she know what she was doing and why? She immediately let Rose know. There was a possibility that there was a leak in Lexon. She also decided to cut the stakeout short. This was too important. Besides, the text was right. Anything that she could possibly gain from this, she already had. She slipped back out of the restaurant vents in her wire form, and returned to Lexon Tower.

---

The following day, Madison, in a white frilled blouse and medium-length skirt, attended the invite. Her hair was curled, her lean muscle was hidden and she looked every bit the classy rich girl she technically was. There had been no determined leak at Lexon, so she had been advised to attend the meeting and find out what was going on. It had been decided that she attend in civilian attire. Madison did not have the luxury of a private persona so there was no need to protect one, and attending such a lavish location in a costume that exposed her midriff and thighs would have been mortifying.

Arriving at the meeting room, Madison took a seat and looked at the folders. She immediately spotted the folder on Georgia, and averted her eyes. She liked to think she and Hostess had been friends, so her fall from grace was painful to ruminate on. She almost felt grateful when Sir Articus took her folder away. Sir Arcticus. Not that Madison could talk given her own careful mask of kayfabe, but surely talking like that all the time would get exhausting. There was also a man in a labcoat and a ski mask, wondering out loud why he'd been invited here.

"Just knowing more about these people and what they're doing, at the very least would help you help people. I imagine if there's anything in here that would hint that a lot of people might get hurt soon, you could be ahead of the curve." she answered. Despite her appearence of a spoiled daddy's girl, and her reputation as a corporate sellout, Madison was both passionate and knowledgable about heroics. It was her life's passion. Her life's purpose.

Madison flipped through some of the folders when a brief momentof silence fell. She immediately spotted something interesting, and leaned forward with interest as she picked up Dragon's file. So, he hada hand in the Undergroumnd Auction?

"Oh, this was what your text was talking about..." She muttered to herself, before lookingup and addressing Aurealis directly. "I was already going to investigate the Auction. Naturally, that's what Im' going to pick."

Umbra Rose Condos

Madison's bike hummed as she was smoothly gliding along the highway's fast lane like it was made of water. She loved riding. Right now she was heading from patrol route A to patrol route B. High in the sky behind her, a drone was tailing her, capturing stock footage. Clips of her riding along were always useful for something. It was also there to capture footage of her helping people, stopping criminals and generally being a Hero. That footage would later get used in promotional material or on Luxon's own channels. Madison tapped the screen on her bike's dashboard and called Rose, her personal maid but also her 'mission liason', so to speak.

"Hey, Rose. I'm heading towards Patrol Route B. Any crimes?"

"Nothing...appropriate. Two armed robbers held up a convenience store. Shot the Cashier. Glutton got to them. There's also a heist at Nova City Bank, but already have reports that several vigilantes are on the scene, as well as the police. If you went, you wouldn't stand out as a 'symbol of peace and security'. In fact, you'd only add to the chaos and confusion."

"Yeah, giving those a miss. I would hurt more than help. Anything else?"

"Well....nothing else we can get footage for.." Rose trailed off.

Madison frowned, and looked puzzles as she paused for a second before continuing the conversation.

"And anything we can't get footage for?...This wouldn't have anything to do with that missing prototype the warehouse manager was yelling about yesterday, would it?"

"I'm afraid it does. There's a semi-regular underground black market auction that happens somewhere in Nova City. The higher-ups are convinced that whoever stole the protype is going to try and sell it there. Now, they've been keeping an eye on potential customers. You know, higher-ups of rival companies and stuff. One of their potentical customers has been visiting the same restaurant every evening at around the same time. There's no prior record of this behavior being regular. I'll send you the coordinates of the restaurant and I'll recall the footage drone if you fancy a stakeout."

"Sure. I don't get to do slow, quiet heroics with a camera off me very often. Exposing the Underground Auction is just the kind of project I need after last week's energy drink commercial shoot took up all the time I should have been out helping people. "

Unsure if I can join, time-wise, but are there still openings? I think I have a pretty funny idea for a power/character the roster is missing

also long time no see @Silver Carrot

@Luminous Beings

And hello!

Calling All Heroes and Villains!

<Snipped quote by Silver Carrot>

Please describe the costume in detail and I can attempt. :)

@Pumpkinlord

The color scheme is Cadet Blue (the shade used in the CS) and silver. It'svery segmented, so it's basically a vest (that goes up to the neck and there's absolutely no cleavage), sleeves that go from the wrist to the elbow, gloves, 3/4 length pants, and boots. And she wears a domino mask.

It's very sleek and...think of Honda promo material.

@Silver Carrot Accepted, I love this character. Can we get a pic of her in her costume! :D

@Pumpkinlord

Sure, if somebody makes it

Calling All Heroes and Villains!

Wireframe

Name:
Madison Weaver

Alias:
Wireframe

Alignment:
Hero

Powers/Abilities:
Madison has the ability to turn any part of her body into steel wire, which she can fully control and move. It has all the properties of steel wire. Durability, conductivity, etc. She can 'reel in' and 'unreel' her body into the wire, allowing her to 'stretch' and propell herself.

Weaknesses:
Magnetism and electricity are two particularly big drawbacks of being made of steel wire. The wire, though cannot be easily cut without specialist tools(or supernatural strength), still retains similar pleasure and pain responses to particularly tough human skin.

Personality:
Madison has been discouraged from shedding the kayfabe of the reliable, smiling Hero, and it has become second nature to the point that it's more a habit than a mask. She is cheerful, kind, understanding and encouraging, though still occasionally naive from her lack of meaningful social interactions on an personal level. Some people have called her fake but if the way she acts is 'fake', then she's forgotten how to act 'real' a long time ago.

She doesn't find it hard to balance the need for heroics with the demands and requests of her employers. It's better to ask forgiveness than permission and she's never afraid to bite back during a scolding with "It'd hurt the brand far more if people thought I was prioritising what you guys want over being a Hero."

Background:
Madison can't remember not having the ability to turn her body into steel wire, but her parents insist she manifested the ability when she was five years old. She grew up loved and spoiled, with high expectations. Even as a child, she was being trained and molded into a Superhero. She was afforded the best education and training money could by. The standards and ideals Luxon wanted from her, as the sponsored Hero of their company, were relentlessly drilled into her. To balance her harsh and spartan training, she was showered with lavish gifts and her every whim was catered to. The carrot and the stick, taken to the extreme.

By the time she became a teenager, she expressed a wish to attend a real high school and make friends her own age, so was enrolled in a prestigious school for the upper class. While attending, she got her motorbike liscence (mainly so she could actually drive the top-of-the-line Lexon motorbike she was difted the previous year) Once she graduated, she was finally granted permission to make her debut and begin her hero work.

All the training in the world couldn't have prepared her for the real thing. Her firstyear was rough. A naive, wet-behind-the-ears eighteenyear old princess trying to help the common man and fight crime went about as well as could reasonably be expected. It was the first time she ever saw her parents visibly disappointed. It lit a fire in her, and she gradually began to drift away from her parents as she became obsessed with becoming a better and more capable Hero. She was no longer just doing it for them, or the company,but for herself.

She is now 23, several years into her career and has established herself much more firmly as the Hero she wants to be, though she still has a long way to go.

Appearance:
Madison always looks pristine in public. Nary a hair is ever out of place. She never looks scruffy or messy. Her makeup never allows her to look tired or sickly. Her naturally auburn hair is dyed blondeand kept to a certain length. She likes to wear designer labels though the clothes she picks out are always on a theme of 'cosmopolitan'. Her fashion sense never strays too far into 'punky' or 'alternative', but also never into 'frumpy' or 'church girl'.

Her Hero costume isanother matter. To allow for as much scope using her powers as possible, it is very segmented and shows off the toned muscle definition of her arms and abdomen. A balance was carefully struck when eciding how much skin to show, between practically and just the right amout of sex appeal without teetering on the edge of tasteless or trashy. Her costume colors are cadet blue and silver to match Luxon's branding.

Affiliations:
Luxon

Motivations:
Wireframe's primary motivation is to be a public symbol. A celebrity and role model. She wants people to know that they are protected and looked out for every time they see her smiling face on a billboard or commercial.

Relationships:
Madison is still close with her parents though they both tend to be as busy as she is, and the three of them will be lucky to find the opportunity to even be in the same room once a month. Most of Madison's human contact outside of her liasons and other Luxon staff, are her maid, Rose, and her trainer, Pete.

Base of Operations:
Several basement floors in Luxon Tower are designated as Madison's home, gym, school, training facility, motorbike garage and overall 'batcave' of sorts.

Signature Gear:
Wireframe's primary,most iconic piece of kit is a custom Luxon GTS motorbike with several custom features and gadgets. It has a rear-facing oil slick, front mounted machine guns, a smart tablet display that doubles as a comms unit, and best of all, can detatch at the center to allow her front half and her back half to ridethe two halves of the motorbike separately.

Her other noteworthy gadget is that she wears bracelets loaded with controlled explosives that can effectively turn her hands into grappling hooks.

Public Perception:
Among the general public, Wireframe's reputation is mixed. She is adored and revered by the younger demographic, Adult Hero fans, as well as many fellow Heroes, see her as a sellout who's very existance sets an offputting and disgusting precedent. A pretty faced, spoiled, rich daddy's girl who sells energy drinks on billboards more often than doing actual heroics. The villains she's fought however, tell their colleagues in hushed voices that Wireframe is a tricky hero who's not to be underestimated.

Combat Style:
Madison is a slippery, acrobatic fighter who is used to utilising her extensive MMA and grappling training in conjunction with her powers to create an unpredictable fighting style with an emphasis on restraining her opponents.
