Gharlyc immediately heard the tone in Dirion's voice and gave him a cold hard stare. Gharlyc's voice dropped dropped in volume and became very smooth and eerily calm. "Stranger. It's no excuse now, but I thought it was a healing potion. I saw the siren drink it and heal from her wounds. My only thought at the time was to save Busker's life. Now, who knows what horrible fate I have cursed my best and only friend with. So, maybe instead of pointing fingers, you can be useful and help me think if there is a possible cure for this affliction. Can your addled brain handle that hm?" @NorthernGR
Turning over to Wink, Gharlyc's hard expression softened a little bit, but not by much. "Wink, I'm sorry this happened. I know you don't like me, but I love Busker like a brother. I would never purposefully do this to him. You probably won't take much stock in my words, but I promise you, I will not rest until I have found a cure for your father"
Turning and noticing Vickers ordering a drink, Gharlyc addressed him. "You, stranger with the pig(?!). Things are very dangerous in this bar right now. It may not be the best time for a leisurely drink. If you look, we have injured and people who are cursed with who knows what. For your own safely either hide back here with the rest of us or see if you can leave out the back." @Captain Bravo
Alignment: Hero Real Name: Albert Weiss Age: 22 Superhero Name: Prism
At almost 6 ft, this slim young man just seems to ooze off a slow and lazy feeling. When not working at his coffee shop job or on his research, you can see him sitting under some shade reading trashy fantasy novels.
First picture is Prism's first and rookie outfit. If the article of clothing wasn't white, then he spray painted it so. Eventually, when he becomes seasoned and known, through his research he will develop his second suit. Also shown are the colors for his 7 duplicates.
Meta type: Overhuman
Prism has light base powers, giving him super speed and reflexes. Eventually he will learn Energy fists and White form only Light beams. While shooting beams, Prism no longer has super speed and reflexes, as all his light powered energy is used for the attack. Prism also has the power of flight, but doesn't know it. He never tried flying since the super speed was always the most obvious. One day, he may make this discovery. In hero mode, Prism's body emits a soft but visible glow, corresponding to the uniform's color.
His secondary power, and where he gets the name Prism from is that he has a default white form that can split into 7 duplicates of himself, color coded to the rainbow. Each of these duplicates can perform tasks individually, but are united by the single will of Albert. Example, he can read 7 different books at once and retain all the information. His duplicates all have the same stats as his original White form, except that the White form is the only one that can shoot light beams (eventually). All are equally strong, smart and fast. If any of the duplicates is killed/destroyed, then that specific color gets mixed equally between all the remaining duplicates.
Born to single mother Adelle Weiss, Albert was raised with love and kindness in the home of his maternal grandmother, Amalda, who served in the marines when she was young. When Albert was 11, Adelle died of cancer. To save him from sadness and depression, Amalda showed Albert harsh love by making him go through marine training. This training devastated Albert so that he was too exhausted to even miss his mother. Over the years though, Albert slowly got used to his training and along with Amalda, came to terms with Adelle's death. Then Albert's powers manifested on his 16th birthday right in front of Amalda, they spent the later years working and thinking together on how to best use and control his powers. Albert was already a pretty smart kid, and worked hard academically. But with his powers, he was able to multitask and work 7 times as hard and earn a scholarship to the University of California, Valle Dorado, where he currently spends most of his time working towards his PHD in Material Sciences. He works part time at a local coffee and book shop.
Albert's main traits are his gentleness, sympathetic heart, and easy going nature. A gentleman with a friendly nature and surprisingly thick skinned, he honestly doesn't care if people make fun of him or insult him. From his mother, he got his kind and gentle nature. From his grandmother, he got his willpower and drive to protect and do good for the community. As a child, Albert already had a passive nature. When Amalda started his marine training, he had to cope by developing 2 psychological states. His default state is a more extreme version of his original passive nature where he is super chill, laid back and passive. He does this so that he can save mental and physical energy for his second state, which is a self induced, high adrenaline state with heightened awareness. In this state, he is active, focused Albert loves reading books, drinking coffee and tea, and going window shopping for clothes with friends, mainly so he can study the textiles and mentally work out how to make them fire proof or something along those lines. If Albert weren't so lazy, he would be a larper.
Albert Weiss was wholly unprepared when his powers manifested on his 16th birthday. Deciding to play it safe, he spent the next 5 years experimenting and practicing his powers in secret, with only his grandmother as his confidant and mentor. A year ago, just when Albert was deciding to finally start super heroing, he was on his way to a nearby bank when it was being robbed by Rad Stallion and his Stable Boys. Donning his rookie costume, Albert Weiss, now Prism, rushed in and stopped the robbery. He was able to apprehend most of the Stable Boys, but Rad Stallion and the rest were able to escape. With this, Prism was able to make his debut, and has been stopping mid to low level crime ever since.
Secret identity known to public?: No City of residence: Valle Dorado
Alignment: Villain Real Name: Radley Sentarinno Age: 42 Villain Name: Rad Stallion
Meta type: Parahuman
Rad Stallion is basically a normal human, except for his legs. His legs have super human strength, durability, and let him run up to 50 mph. Uses an interesting MMA mix of Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, and Capoeira, where he only does attacks with his legs and feet (think Sanji from One Piece). May sometimes duel wield tommy guns.
The Stable Boys are Rad Stallion's organized hitmen. His most elite thugs, they consist of normal humans who are equipped with a tommy gun and horse head mask.
Horse Power is Rad Stallion's strongest lackey. Dressed in a full body latex horse suit, he is an Overhuman with enhanced strength and durability (think the Rhino villain from Spiderman). Low level intelligence and loyally follows Rad's orders.
Rad Stallion is head of the Sentarinno mob family, a far reaching family with lots of wealth, power and influence. A major power in the criminal underworld, they have their hand in smuggling, gambling, human trafficking, and many other illicit activity. Their financial power and dark ties to parts of law enforcement keep more notable members of the family free from incarceration. A very impulsive family that is prone to violence.
Proud, arrogant, selfish, and overall douche. Rad enjoys all the physical pleasures that money can buy, but still oddly finds time to stay in shape. A leader through terror, he plots and schemes and can actually come up with pretty good plans, but his impulsive nature and irritable bad temper can cause him to mess up his own plans. Ever since his transformation, he is a devout vegan, and will spend his families resources to raid race tracks and farms to steal and then free the captured horses. All in a misguided attempt to undo the curse placed on him. Speaks like the Fonz.
There once was a mysteriously magical talking horse. It was a wonder that kids and scientists came to converse with from far and wide. One day, Radley Sentarinno the mob boss heard of this wondrous horse. He thought it amusing, and decided to buy the horse for himself. The horse didn't like leaving his home, and nagged at Radley day and night. Eventually, Radley had had enough. He ordered the horse butchered and served for dinner that night. With his dying breath, the horse cursed Radley to suffer humiliation and inconvenience for the rest of his days. When dinner was served, even with a 5 star chef, the meat tasted bitter and rancid. Radley would have yelled many profanities if he weren't choking. Choking so hard he fell on the ground. When he was able to get back up again, he rose now as the RAD STALLION!! He shot the chef dead.

Kathy finished up the fixes to Block 3 and hurried on her way to a defensive system's console in Engineering to keep watch during the battle. The screeching joints of cannon 3A would have to wait. She would be needed here to make sure any malfunctions to defensive systems during battle would be noticed and fixed.
After a minute at her console, she realized that the pilot, officer... whatever his name was, wanted to reroute engine power to steering. Since Kathy had nothing to do for now, she decided to help out. @Elitestpotato
"Alice, I can help with Officer Pilot's request. I have a really efficient algorithm I developed while working for an aerospace research company that can balance power between the engines and steering to give him the best of both speed and maneuverability. I'm coordinating with the respective engineering crews to get this working. The pilot should feel an improvement right... ... now!" @ClocktowerEchos
"Hrm... Nevermind. I was being sarcastic. This is what I get for being sociable. Well, defense systems all green. Beginning weapon systems diagnostics. I'll get to cannon 3A as soon as I'm done here. Oh, and Alice? Can I get a copy of that song you just played? It was pretty catchy." @ClocktowerEchos
Then Kathy finished the weapon systems testings, revealing that the Weapons Block 3 (including cannon 3A) was having some sort of small signal interference, which wasn't bad, but would have a lag in response time. Kathy should have enough time to go over and make repairs before the fighting began.
"Report for the captain. Weapon systems is mostly green. There is a tiny malfunction in Weapons Block 3. It shouldn't be more than an annoyance, but I'm making my way over there right now. If there is time I'll space walk out to see if there is anything blocking secondary cannon 3A." @Lord Coake
Kathy was late. She had spent way too much time getting over her cryo-sickness and even now was still not fully recovered. This was her first time experiencing hyperspace travel. She new about the effects, and logically they didn't sound that bad, but the experience was one she didn't want to have again too soon. Kathy only briefly regretted accepting assignment on a space ship, but that quickly vanished with the smells of lubricants and duct tape, and the thought of soon to be unbroken devices and well deserved maintenance. The on-duty engineering Chief, a well built and thick (probably military trained) dark-skinned man, annoyed by her tardiness, shouted at Kathy to do diagnostic checks on ships offense and defense Double-Time! The ship was about to enter combat and needed to be ready.
Kathy decided to check up on the defensive systems first. That would be more important than weapons if the ship were just about to enter combat. But she would soon get to the ship's weapons. Kathy paused a bit and thought about going to the hanger to make last minute checks on the fighters, and to stay around for when they come back battered and broken. There would be so much fixing required! It was tempting, but no, if there was no ship to come back to, then no amount of fixed up fighters would mean anything.
Proceeding with defensive diagnostics, Kathy addressed the ships AI Alice "Alice? I'm starting diagnostics on the shields and ECMs before I do AA (anit-air) and secondary combat generators. So far initial checks are all Green, but I will re-confirm a few minutes. Please do a preliminary check on weapons status and let me know if there are any concerns that aren't being fixed fast enough elsewhere. A lady's gotta be presentable for the big party on Sotra, wouldn't you say?"
