Cool. I'll modify his sheet accordingly.

If you'd prefer the government not to know, you can sub in some other group. I was thinking it'd be some sort of Men in Black for channellers, but the Institute could do it, or some third party channeller secrecy group of some sort. I'll let you decide; it's your universe.

Oops, my bad. I missed the part where channellers are secret. However, I HAVE A SOLUTION!

So FlowerShine, they're a band of channellers who are essentially Magneto's group. Channeller supremacy and all that jazz. Their goal was to take over, but in order to do that they needed more support. Thus, they turned to getting into the news to draw out other channellers, and to do that they'd cause a stir.

Now, enter Skyblue. He beats down a particular disturbance and the government sees an opportunity. They make a sentai outfit for Skyblue, cut a deal with news agencies to take all the footage, and they turn Skyblue and FlowerShine into a children's show. The damage to the city? Planned for the filming of the show. FlowerShine? Just TV bad guys and special effects, definitely not real. Skyblue? He's living the dream of any kid his age, playing a hero and saving the world!

FlowerShine eventually gave up, settling down into normal lives in society. Skyblue wasn't quite so lucky, as he'd lost a lot of his schooling in exchange for being a hero. He's a PR boost for the Institute presently because Super Sentai Skyblue! is a popular kids' show, and telling kids they can train with a hero they know makes it much easier to convince them to come to the Institute.

Skyblue

Name: Skyblue "Blue" Uchida

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Personality: As far as heroes go, Skyblue is most definitely not a paragon. If not for his super strength and his sentai-style helmet, he'd just be another bum on the streets. Skyblue is best described as rude, impatient, and impulsive, and has a tendency to get violent quickly. He has been unable to hold a dayjob longer than a month before becoming a mentor at the Institute. Skyblue is not without his good side, though, but it takes a bit of digging to find it.

Backstory: Skyblue first discovered his powers during an attack by the evil organization FlowerShine, which sought to bring channellers to the public eye and, eventually, the ruling class. He immediately put the powers to use laying the smackdown on their agents, instantly making himself the prime target of the organization. Skyblue, however, found himself mostly annoyed by the organization's attempts to subdue him in order to secure world domination.

A small group dedicated to the secrecy of channellers saw this as an opportunity for them. They reached out to Skyblue, offering to make him a hero, while taking news footage of his fights and preparing a coverup. Soon, Super Sentai Skyblue became a hit children's television series. The constant fighting hardened Skyblue, honing his control of his abilities through endless abuse. The show served as the perfect smokescreen, keeping FlowerShine's activities out of serious speculation and giving an explanation for the destruction of public property. Of course, most of the destruction was caused by Skyblue himself, but the papers were all too happy to leave that part out.

Finally, FlowerShine gave up its goal of world domination, leaving Skyblue without his free paycheck for protecting the secrecy of channellers. Skyblue took to living in his girlfriend's apartment like a bum. Occasionally, thugs hoping to make a name for themselves on TV would challenge him to duels as he walked down the street, but overall his life became that of a boring, everyday loser with a bright blue helmet.

Appearance: Skyblue stands 5'8" tall, barely scraping 5'10" while wearing his white sneakers. He dresses simply, usually wearing a slightly wrinkled white t-shirt and plain blue jeans. His hair and face are always hidden beneath his blue sentai helmet, the last remainder of what once was his superhero outfit - which he only wore for a few months before changing to more comfortable attire. His body is slim and toned, as befits a sentai hero.

Equipment: A bright blue sentai mask equipped with a toxin filtration system. He never takes it off, not even to eat or smoke. It also has a long-range hearing enhancer and a (currently broken) telescopic vision tool.

Abilities: He can cook and clean apartments. He's also got a few skills that apply to day jobs he's held, but not kept.

Channeller category: Augmenter

Description of power: Skyblue's strength is greatly enhanced. Unbeknownst to him, it also reinforces his body to take the strain of his increased strength while in use.

Names/descriptions of moves: Skyblue never took the time to name his moves, as he normally just improvises to improve his strength while brawling. His one named ability, Fist of God, creates a shockwave around his fist that transfers the force of his punch to distant enemies.

As part of his agreement for his job at the Institute, he will make up names for all the moves he uses in front of students.

STAFF CHARACTERS ONLY

Institute role: Mentor

Why they were chosen for the Institute: Skyblue is an exceptional strength-focused Augmenter and, despite his personality quirks, having him on staff is a great PR boost for the Institute.

Still here, just got sick. Still sick presently. I'll post when I can think straight.

Erich Zann wasn't in the best of moods, though all there was to show for it was a slight decline at the corner of his mouth. His friends had sold his services without asking him if he approved of the job. As he walked through the streets toward the fort, paperwork firmly in hand, he considered their reasoning. Perhaps it was because he wouldn't actually speak his approval or denial? Or maybe they thought he'd decline before actually hearing it out?

Their reason for not coming to him first would remain a mystery, but Erich knew without a doubt why they'd sent him in particular. He was probably the only person in the mercenary corps who wouldn't voice any complaint about working with Faunus. Sometimes his silence was a curse instead of the blessing he'd long thought it to be. At least in this case it would be a blessing for whomever was in charge.

Erich's slight frown deepened. A new commander meant taking commands from an untrusted source. It was different from mercenary work, where at least the mercenary unit had a bit of freedom in how they carried out their tasks. Here, he'd be expected to follow orders exactly as given. Erich wasn't sure how he'd handle it, but he hoped whoever was at the helm was a good pilot.

The first of Erich's papers was handed to the guard at Fort Beacon, who then let him enter. The fort spread before him in both splendor and squalor. Unfortunately, none of the papers Erich held was a map of the fort, so he gave the guard a questioning look.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Erich shook his head slightly. "Then what is it? Spit it out already!" Erich pointed at the paper in the guard's hand, then gestured toward the inside of the fort. "No, you don't need this paper inside the fort. Just get going already! I have a job to do and playing charades isn't part of it." The guard turned away, obviously intent on ignoring Erich.

Unfortunately, that particular paper had the location where Erich was supposed to meet with his commanding officer and squad in the fort. None of his remaining papers had that information. Erich was now lost in foreign territory and surrounded by the military to boot.

All he could do, he decided, was explore and hope to find the right place by accident. Off he went, poking his nose into busy kitchens, crammed storage sheds, and bathrooms - luckily not the ladies' room - all in the name of finding his destination. Strangely, nobody seemed to mind, nor did anyone question his presence. Perhaps others had done similar things. Perhaps they were just too busy to care. In the end, it didn't really matter to Erich. He just wanted to get where he was going already.

Luckily, Erich overheard a conversation between two soldiers near one of the kitchens. One was complaining loudly about how the Faunus had started a commotion and now he was getting punished for it. The other asked where it'd happened, and the complainer said, "Oh, it was over near the briefing room where those monsters are supposed to meet for the concerted effort thingy. Just look for the big mess over by..."

Just over one minute later, Erich pushed open the door to Briefing Room 5-0D to find a collection of Faunus and Humans now beginning to socialize. Erich could tell from glances and from where some heads were still looking that a hooded man was the commanding officer for the group. He seemed to be in a conversation with a girl, but Erich's need to report for duty superseded, at least in his mind, the seemingly relaxed discussion that was taking place. Erich approached the man and wordlessly offered him the rest of the papers he was carrying, which comprised Erich's intel file, filled out by his superiors in the mercenary corps.

Yes. I'm waiting for something worth responding to at the moment.

The lack of any discernible reaction from Albrecht convinced Zana that leaving was the right decision. The boring, uninteresting boy had turned out to be almost completely lifeless as well. For all the boy's high-class appearance, his manners were definitely lacking. After all, he didn't even know how to properly return a greeting!

Zana's inner moping was interrupted by another student stepping forward to introduce himself. This one - Sunil, he called himself - also lacked in proper manners... No, she corrected herself, there's still a chance he's waiting for me to shoot first. With that small hope spurring her on, she introduced herself.

"I'm Zanahor'ya," she stated, once again unintentionally mispronouncing her own name. Whether this was due to her accent or her mood, or if it was a product of the two, was uncertain.

She didn't bother pulling The Queen of Diamonds back out of its holster for the introduction. Instead, she opted to pull the trigger as she passed by Sunil, firing another of her low-powdered greeting shots at his foot. She continued walking, albeit at a slower pace, waiting hopefully for a return.
