I'd like to submit another character or two if that'd be alright be act one starts
Can sorcerers tell how powerful someone is based on that whiff of the supernatural you described?
Felix Karrde - Outside the Administration Building

After hollering at the top of his lungs at no one in particular, Felix finally stopped. Apparently no one cared enough to answer his question. But a trio of upper classmen had been huddled together at a distance, recording him with their cell phones and laughing like jackals. Their laughter was sharp, high-pitched, and unrelenting. Finally one of them tripped and fell forward, catching his balance before snorting "What a loser!"

Hearing the remark, Felix's brow shifted before he turned to them and said "Fuck off!"

The upper classmen did no such thing, instead they just stopped laughing and walked up to Felix, led by a well-built teen who dressed like a hoodlum. "What do you want with Ethan? Is he your boyfriend or something."

Felix twitched his nose and held back a snarl, "No, he's my roommate, jackass. I just need to know where he is."

The guy standing in front looked at each of his comrades before chuckling, "Kinky." Then he turned back to Felix and said, "Parker's over that way. Try not to transform into another dying weasel or whatever it is you do." His finger pointed Felix, through the door's window toward the conversing combination of Morrison and Ethan back inside the building.

Letting out a deep sigh, Felix said "Thank you," before walking inside and approaching who he guessed was Ethan, next to an older French looking man, tapping him on the shoulder.
What if he was like a low-level John Constantine who used gadgetry to exaggerate his ability, in order to make supernatural foes flinch and overestimate him.
Thanks, Didact. So a stylized gadget hero with parlor tricks and knowledge of the supernatural. That can work perfectly well for all my intents and purposes.
I think it would be awesome to have him pull a 'Wizard of Oz' and truck everyone. But I'm just wondering if he'd be ratted out by actual magicians.
So, supposing I have a concept for a character that is a gadget hero who pretends to be a sorcerer and does battle with actual magic threats on occasion, what would the magic community's reaction be? Would they see right through him? I could make it so that he has familiarity with the supernatural and relatively minor ability, while he makes himself look more powerful with technology.
Felix Karrde

Admiring his handiwork, Felix tucked his nail file back into his pants pocket. Testing the little pocket he'd made in the table's side, he slid his wallet in and out before putting it away altogether. Honestly, he had no immediate purpose for his entrance, he just found comfort in having some sort of homefield advantage, even if it meant that he'd have to do some discreet remodeling on his own.

Standing up, he left this table, too. He left the entirety of the cafeteria and got over the idea of trying to make friends the normal way. He'd just have to carve his own way through the school. Who knows? It might work out for him, he decided. Maybe he could end up writing a School Survival Guide for the next year's students.

Though he originally hadn't had any intention of following through with the idea, it spoke to him. On his way, walking around the campus, he stumbled upon the administration office. Curtiously and meekly asking for his living information, he was passed the envelope just like everyone else.

"Ethan Parker?" he read aloud. "Who's Ethan Parker?" Considering he didn't actually know any of the other students, discounting Nikki by technicality, it wasn't actually an unreasonable question. Rather than wait to find out, he decided to go about it the most straightforward way possible. Taking in a deep breath, he hollered "Ethan Parker!" Adding on, "Does anyone know Ethan Parker!" The question echoed out, washing over the entire vicinity of the administration building.
The Desert Vampire - Cook County Jail

Blood. The floor of the prison was decorated with it. It was almost like the drying blood was the result of unleashing a legion of ten year olds with chalk onto the prison grounds, only there was one difference that mattered. One of the many inmates who had the idea of attempting an escape made a horrible miscalculation. He'd discreetly made it close to the edge of the prison and hidden a trail of the fallen bodies of former security guards, having seemed to slither past many of the great heroes who'd stormed the prison. His only mistake was that he'd smelled so much like the blood he'd shed.

Approaching one of the doors of the prison, he let out a sigh, preparing to step out through the door and charge, maybe get lucky and escape. With a mighty thrust the would-be fugitive threw the doors open before being blasted by a metric ton of sand.

The inmate was thrown back, his body arcing twenty feet through the air before crashing down, bouncing and skidding across the facility's unforgivably solid floor. He moaned and tried to raise his head, to get a glimpse of his assailant, but all his eye could see was more sand rocketing into his face. The criminal tried to scream, but could only gurgle as the sint filled his face's orifices.

Stepping through the opened doors came a grimacing figure who stood tall, ready for battle. The Iranian super-soldier, Azar Bezadi, stepped into the prison and immediately felt the fear of the criminal, and he began to feed on it. Despite the terror that consumed the pathetic-excuse-for-a-man, Azar's strength returned very slowly. The magical inhibitor must clearly limit his own ability to feed. It seemed that he would have to resort to more orthodox methods.

Unsheathing his scimitar, Azar began to sprint through the halls, running toward the war zone within the prison walls when he heeded the call to head to the Maximum Security Wing. Drawing on the power within himself, he forced himself to sprint, yet hushing his footsteps with painstaking technique as he bypassed the awareness of several inmates he spotted on his way.
But some profanity was suggested in the cartoons, like the episode with Hawk and Dove in JLU. Personally, this game's tone reminds me of the DCU around the time of the Infinite Crisis. It's one of my favorite comic stories ever. The way that the villains are so well realized in this game makes it more appealing than a lot of other games.

I'm thinking that Azar would be most useful in the prison riot, seeing as prison yards typically have a good deal of sand and I feel my characters' ability set would lend itself well to team-ups. But should I write a sequence where he arrives and meets with another PC, gets on the yard and joins the fray against the perimeter using sand golems, or wait and have Mr.Didact write him in?
