[Vudukudu]

Name:
Ryan Oliver

Alias (if any):
None

Age:
43

Appearance (image, no toons):

Spoiler: Image

Personality:

Ryan is a curious (some would say suspicious) man, well-suited for his task as a surveillance agent and Investigator in the GSD. He is intelligent and extremely well-studied regarding superhumans, and with his knowledge comes a fairly due amount of caution. He understands that he is not at the top of the food chain, and acts accordingly, though calling him a coward is entirely inaccurate. He is willing to lay his life down for the GSD and what he believes in; the continued safety of mankind. He is a planner and a plotter, never one to go in without an extraction plan ready, and his operational style is best described as "quiet."

Though this is unknown to his colleagues and those on his caseload, Ryan's file is earmarked for extreme psychological duress. Though he is in no way crazy, he has never taken a single vacation, has no family or relationships to speak of, and essentially lives to work. This has manifested in numerous problems, including an anxious tic in his left hand, as well as a moderate alcohol problem. Ryan is pessimistic and grim, though he's still capable of mustering his training well enough to put on a pleasant face for the sake of his job.

Biography:

Ryan was born to a moderately well-off family in Chicago, a few blocks away from the Citadel. Their small house was modern and pleasant; a result of it being rebuilt recently on the rubble of the Incident some time before. His parents were both GSD agents, though he knew little of what that meant until their death two days before his fourth birthday. He was promptly put into the foster care system and put into the care of a Ms. Liu, another GSD agent who had been close friends with Ryan's parents.

Throughout his early childhood, Ryan proved to be poorly behaved, but also ambitious and intelligent. His grades, with the nagging of his loving foster mother, were consistently in the top 0.5% nationwide, and his athletic career as a soccer player was equally respectable. The young man was on top of the world, plowing through challenges academic and physical with ease. It took a challenge much more personal to bring him to his knees.

In the summer before his Senior year of high school, Ms. Liu was diagnosed with a rare blood disease, incurable, but treatable with an expensive drug regimen. Against the wishes of his adoptive mother, Ryan chose not to go to college, instead putting the saved money towards her treatment, saying "You have done so much for me; let me do this one thing for you."

With parental permission, he enlisted in the US Marine Corps at the age of 17 to continue supporting his ill mother. Two years in the Corps saw him rise to become a Corporal before an insurgent sniper in Somalia put a round through his chest, just above his heart. A GSD team in the area saved him from the ambush, provided medical treatment, and offered him a job with the GSD. Without knowing precisely what his birth parents or his adoptive mother did for work, he soon joined the same GSD branch as they had; Tactical Operations.

At 19, only a few months after being shipped home to recover, he began the six-year program of the Fieldwork School in Chicago. His military background, though brief, proved extremely helpful in much of his training, and he soon took the Interdisciplinary Exam to garner further skills. He scored highest on the Surveillance and Investigations portion of the Exam, and concluded training as a Tactical Agent with Qualifications in Field Investigation and Digital Surveillance by the age of 27.

Ryan has since been deployed within the US to watch over numerous White, Green, and Red Listers in the Chicago area primarily. He has served almost twenty years, and has been promoted high enough to manage his own case load, but has repeatedly rejected offers to go higher. His career has been, like many GSD agents, less than smooth, though this is not considered to reflect on him as an agent. The job merely goes wrong, as anything would when superhumans are thrown into the mix at random. A number of operations involving him have been classified at the highest level, though he was part of the team which oversaw the Second Chicago Incident in 2003 which involved a high school being annihilated by a teen accidentally discovering their powers. Little is known about what exactly happened, and Ryan will not speak of it.

[Dumplingboy]

Name:Anela Kalawaiʻa

Age:21

Appearance :

Superhero Costume :
https://www.tennisexpress.com/prodimages/42618-DEFAULT-l.jpg

http://cdn.allvolleyball.com/images/uploads/volleyball_shorts_asics_BT752_black_600.jpg

Personality :

Anela has always been a pushover. She is naturally timid by nature and bends willfully to others will. She seems incapable to stand up to others and never wants to go out of the box in fear of hurting or displeasing someone. She has low self esteem and little self worth. She believes, well has been led to believe, that her main purpose in life is to serve others for the great good. She is afraid of failing others and will risk her own life for any task, no matter how trivial or insignificant it might be in the whole scheme of things. She is naive ,very naive compared to her peers. This is mainly do to outside forces. She is easily manipulated, her morals coming from what others tell her they should be rather than life experiences. She is like Eve of the garden, before the apple. It is not that she knows evil and chooses good,but rather she is good because that is all she really knows.

Anela is a very gentle person, never uttering a harsh word at others. Always forgiving of others wrong doings. She believes kindness is the key to everything, and does not recognize spite right away. Anela has no ill feeling towards anyone, and has never held a grudge in her life. Her whole life she has been taught that her life is only purposeful if she lives for others. She is afraid to dream, afraid to want something for herself. She wants to see the world for what it really is, wants to explore and experience the daily struggles of life. Unfortunately Anela is afraid of self ambition. She lives in fear of what she could be, afraid of loosing herself to the "evil".



Biography:
Anela has always been aware of her powers. Her own mother had a dream while Anela was in the womb of a strange figure telling of the blessing that came with the child. The figure then warned that shall evil overcome the child It would be a curse to all. This is what sparked the beginning of a life of restriction for Anela. At birth she was given to a nun convent her mother telling them the exact words she was given regarding the child. Anela grew quite normally, as a child she was obedient and kind. She was kept from the orphans, constantly reminded that she was there for a divine purpose, not because she was abandoned. Her childhood was a lonely one,but she never complained.
Schooling was a difficult time period of her life. Everything she learned was monitored and heavily restricted. If you asked her the world was a primarily happy place. When she hit around sixteen is when her powers began to fully develop. People began to travel a great distance to receive her healing touch. One of her most note worthy show of her power was a nerve mending act on a GSD agent with a spinal energy. It was a tough task, and required her to go three whole days no breaks, no sleep and no food. It was her sacrifice and a persuasive sit-down that led her to the agency herself.
It is hard to say where she stand in the agency. She is given the title as an agent but is not treated like everyone else. It is safe to say she is more of a tool to the GSD than anything else. She helps with ptsd among the field agents, stepping in on extreme cases where modern medicine can no longer help. She spend most of her time with experiments, The agency seeing what all she can do and how far she can be pushed.Despite the heavy restrictions that is laid out for her she truly loves the agency. She believes they are the ultimate good,everything they say and do is for the betterment of the world and the innocent.
Anela holds no hate in her heart but she has a distance for those that oppose the agency, even questioning it is blasphemy. Of course things have been getting a tad harder for Anela in her recent years. She hardly goes anywhere except the convent and wherever the agency sends her (which is usually just a lab). She does not sneak out but her curiosity ever grows. After all she is an adult now and she is still treated like a child. All information she is given is watered down and bad news is heavily sugar coated. People try to avoid cursing around her, she has never received any advances from guys and never taken a sip of alcohol. Needless to say she is bored,very bored. It is just a matter of time to see where her boredom takes her

None of her healing abilities work instantly unless she is healing herself. She has gotten faster,and can continue to get faster with training.

**NOTE: this is her only offensive power**

[Doctor Nope]

Name: Ethan Besnik


Alias (if any): Voidwalker


Age: 23


Appearance (image, no toons):

Spoiler: Face

Superhero Costume (try not to copy existing characters. Text description will suffice here if you cannot find something adequate.)

Spoiler: Costume

Personality (2 paragraphs):

Ethan is a curious and generally open-minded guy when it comes to new experiences. He can get bored pretty easily and opts for more action-involved tasks. That being said, he enjoys to figure out the most clever tactic he can to defeat an enemy as he likes to "troll" them by exploiting openings that they wouldn't have likely known were there. Despite his intimidating and hostile costume look, he can be pretty jokey and carefree after a solid win.

During the actual battles, however, he usually fears for his life every moment although this usually doesn't cause him to back down straight away. It can be pretty easy to mess with his head during a fight and make him lash out like a wounded animal if only you are to taunt him effectively. A good suggestion for this is the fact that he is pretty protective of any teammates he may have with him at the time, as he also constantly fears for the lives around him whenever a battle is going on.


Biography (3+ solid paragraphs):
He had a pretty normal childhood until the age of 15. A school shooting occurred, and he had his first experience with blood and death. Eventually he had been cornered with an attacker who was reloading their weapon. Through fear and adrenaline, he had unlocked his power and appeared behind the attacker. It took them both a moment to realise what had just happened before Ethan allowed pure rage to win the fight for him, easily knocking the opponent backwards onto the wall and knocking them out. The experience had sparked an undying fear allowing murderers to operate as he had lost quite a few friends there.

After that, his highschool experience was pretty different. He was respected as one of the people who had taken down an attacker, although nobody saw him using his powers so they didn't know exactly how he had done it. Outside of school, he had put together a rudimentary version of his costume and began vigilante life. He eventually became pretty good at combating other superhumans, so he started to do it more regularly which caused his alias to become more recognisable. This of course led to him being recruited into the GSD at the age of 18

He continued to serve as a GSD blue list agent to this day, having taken part in missions alongside university life which was pretty tough at first, but he got through it. When he finished university, he was able to put more time into being a GSD agent and became much more familiarised with it. He is now fond of the organisation and is completely loyal to it, believing them to be the key to truly keeping the population safe.

Superpowers (Describe thoroughly. Try not to god-mode. Things like Matter Manipulation, Time Control, Mind Control (or anything that allows for control of other characters) are banned. If you're unsure, PM me.)

• Void walking- walks through an invisible portal (the outline of the portal kinda glows, but that's it) to instantly get to another location. Pretty much teleportation, except for the fact that other people can also walk through the portals he creates if he doesn't close them in time or forgets to which happens sometimes.. He can create portals up to 20 feet away from him. This power takes a bit of stamina to use and he can only create a new portal pair every 10 seconds.

• Palm pulse- He can send kinetic pulses out from his palms to knock things backwards. This can vary in potency depending on how much he is able to output at the time, usually strengthened in times of extreme emotion. The stamina this attack uses varies depending on the potency used.

Lists: Blue


Other: He likes using lemons as a topic in many of his jokes

[Raku]

Name: Paul Raymond


Alias: N/A


Age: 26


Appearance:


Superhero Costume: A loose leather-like pair of pants with deep red and black stripes coming up the sides. The front is the same color red as the stripe. The top is made from a similar fabric with the same color scheme, deep red stripes connect with the ones on the pants, the same for the black. Towards the shoulders they wrap up and over from the back and end at a point.


Personality: Paul is a calm man for the most part. He likes to joke from time to time and is serious when needed. Despite his "power" he is a rather intelligent person. Paul is a loyal person to those he trust and will often lay his life on the line for his friends. This has caused him to have a few injuries over the years. He is often protective of his friends as well. There has been more than one instance were he has put his fists up to someone doing harm to his allies.

In a fight though, another side of Paul comes to the surface. In a battle Paul is a very aggressive attacker. He will go after anything that he sees as a threat to others. If he becomes to submerged in the battle he loses control and it's almost as if you were talking to a different person. He calls this alter-ego Lucifer. After Lucifer "takes control" he will become even more aggressive. Causing more damage than anyone could have thought.


Biography: Born to medium sized family in a small town, Paul grew up halfway well. Unfortunately he was the middle child of 5 kids. He would often have to fight with other siblings just to get his words out. He went to a local school where he had shown teachers that he was different. Paul was usually the top of his class in academics and held a strong reputation in athletics. He hadn't made to many friends while in school because he was dealing with school work, athletics, and an annoying family. The few close friends he did have though he defended with his life. Whenever someone was messing with them he would step up to their oppressors. He graduated at the top of his class and was rewarded with a scholarship from a college in the city.

After graduating he moved into the city for a job, college, and to get away from his family. He found a job at a port where he would move cargo from ships to trucks and visa versa. He moved into an apartment not far from his college and his work. His reputation precedes him as he becomes the professors favorite student. Juggling a job and college, he wasn't very social, but he did make friends who he would go out with on the weekends Paul had off. He treated these friends the same as his friends from high school.

He was 21 the first time he had seen his "power". It was during work when an empty container had been accidentally pushed off another one while someone was trying to move it with some equipment. There was a man directly underneath it who had no clue untill he heard the creaking of it tipping. He would have been dead if Paul hadn't stepped in. Feeling a rush of something he had never felt before, stronger than an adrenaline rush. He moved quicker than he had ever before and caught the container before it crushed a co-worker. He threw it off to the side while other workers just stared at Paul. The one he saved got right up and hugged Paul. By now the feeling had gone and he had realized what he had done. His shift ended a few minutes later.

Instead of returning home after this he went to a closed construction site. He tried to trigger what he felt before and after a few attempts he had triggered it, but this time it was different. He was in control for a few minutes but after that he lost it. All of a sudden he was thrown into a sudden rage. No matter what he couldn't shake it. He began to throw a few things along with some other damaging acts. He was terrified on the inside. Eventually he dropped out of this rage and calmed down. He was up all night trying to shake that fear. He went to his classes the next day with bags under his eyes. Ever since that night he has trained himself on trying to control his power. He had gotten a good grip on it by the time he graduated a year later.

His second public showing of his power occurred when a small group of men attempted to mug him on his way home from a night shift. Those men were in for a surprise. They had pulled him of the sidewalk and into an ally way. Two had knives while another held a small handgun. The one that had pulled him off the street threatened him with the gun and told Paul to give him all of his money. Paul had triggered his ability and hit the man's gun to the side and kicked him into the wall across from them. The mugger shot a round when he hit the wall. The other two went after Paul by they ended up like the gunslinger accomplice, busted. There was 3 spots in the brick siding where the muggers had hit the wall. Some of the bricks had broke and cracked. The police arrived shortly after the gunshot and apprehended the bandits, but they still had questions for Paul. His photo showed up in the newspaper that week with a caption "A man with inhuman strength takes out bandits". He was on the grid.



Skills: Close Quarters Combat


Superpowers: Paul can trigger a session were he will become faster, more agile, and much stronger at will. The rough extent of his strength is lifting a large vehicle (large pickup to a Hummer). Though there is another part to this. His power can be triggered by intense emotions like anger. When this happens he will lose all control and become who he calls Lucifer. Not much changes in regards to his appearance. The only change is that his eyes turn a deep red. He has never noticed this before.


Lists: None I assume. Maybe green.

[riptide131]

Character Application: If I like it, youre in.


Name: Shane Doyle


Alias (if any): none


Age: 18


Appearance (image, no toons):



Superhero Costume (try not to copy existing characters. Text description will suffice here if you cannot find something adequate.)
Doesn't have one yet but is very excited to think of one.

Personality (2 paragraphs): Shane is an extremely difficult person to deal with. He doesn't take anything as seriously as he should and that often gets him into sticky situations. He's an overall happy guy and well like in school but his constant joking around means that he is not really close to anyone. He does fairly well in school but could be a top student if he tried harder. His lack of effort disappoints his teachers, coaches, and parent alike. None of them can get Shane to do anything he doesn't want to do. To put it bluntly, he is a stubborn jackass.

Shane lives for sports, parties, and whatever else can get his adrenaline going. He plays football and basketball and excels at both thanks to his abilities. This obviously boosts his popularity a lot. He's still a little shocked by his powers so he hasn't really had the chance to use them yet.


Biography (3+ solid paragraphs): Shane and his family live in a middle class neighborhood in the suburbs outside of Chicago. When he was 7, his friend was saved by a superhuman working with the GSD. Shane became obsessed with the idea of one day becoming an agent for the organization. The only reason he tried in school was to be to one day get his dream job with the department. His freshman year of high school, his parents told him that his goal was unrealistic because he wasn't smart enough. Shane was crushed and took it to heart. He stopped trying in school and no longer pursued his passion.

Around his 16th birthday, he started to have some changes. Not normal teenager changes, some thing special. Without any training or working out, Shane's reflexes got faster, he got quicker, and he got stronger. He became a superstar in two sports. This gave him a happiness ness he hadn't felt in years. Everything he did became light hearted and he just made jokes non-stop. Every time a prank was pulled on one of the teachers, Shane was the main suspect. However, his charisma and quick thinking often saved him from the punishment he deserved.

The improvement of his physical abilities has continued to get better and better, to the point where he has been consistently drug tested by his high school. Semi-afraid of what he can do, Shane has had to tone down his effort for his senior year. One morning, Shane woke up and was floating 5 feet above his bed. When he realized it, he freaked out and fell to the floor. He decided not to get his hopes up on the fact that he really had super powers until about 2 weeks later. Shane was smoking weed on top of the school when he had the great idea to jump off. Something inside him took over and he began to float for a while before eventually his began to control it and fly. He has no idea what to do and hopes that no one saw him.


Skills (Tae Kwan Do, hacking, etc.):
Shane has been in many fights and pretty much won them all. He is also and outstanding athlete and a quick thinker.

Superpowers (Describe thoroughly. Try not to god-mode. Things like Matter Manipulation, Time Control, Mind Control (or anything that allows for control of other characters) are banned. If you're unsure, PM me.)

[Pavan]

Name: Mike Logan


Alias (if any): Obsidian


Age: 46


Appearance (image, no toons):

Superhero Costume (try not to copy existing characters. Text description will suffice here if you cannot find something adequate.)
Mike doesn't wear a costume. He's not some fancy pants hero or some nut-job with a god complex. Hes just a guy.

Personality (2 paragraphs): Mike's personality could probably be best described with one word. Big. If you had to choose another it would be loud, but lets just go with big. Mike doesn't think of himself as a hero or a villain. He's no fan of the law but most would consider him a good guy. Hes not the most eloquent guy around and doesn't say much but he is by no means stupid. Mike despises anyone one in authority who demands respect without earning it. He is fiercely loyal to anyone he deems as his family, and god help anyone who tries to hurt those under his protection. Mike has a temper that has gotten him in trouble in the past and is managing it with the help of a pastor he met while in prison during a prison outreach mission.

Mike is not fancy and enjoys the simple things in life. A good movie or a good meal will always make him feel better no matter how bad life gets. Mike has also become a christian during his stay in prison and allows his faith to help guide in difficult situations or in rough times. Mike has very few friends due to a falling out so he gladly welcomes anyone willing to spend time with him.

Biography (3+ solid paragraphs)
Mike was born into a bad neighborhood. Gangs, drug dealers and crooked cops were just part of the scenery. His father and mother worked tirelessly to help him have a better future. Mike always appreciated that. He excelled at school both academically and in sports. He developed and interest in geology after a field trip in which he gained a piece of obsidian which he wore around his neck as his good luck charm. Everything was looking up for him. Until someone tried to mug his father. His dad was a man of principle and wouldn't allow his hard earned cash to be taken without a fight, after all he had a family to provide for. Unfortunately principle only goes so far when the mugger had two guys as back up. Mikes dad was taken to a hospital and placed in a medically induced coma. It was hard for his mother to support them both on her own. Then the medical bills started rolling in. Mike dropped out of school to work a low end job as a mechanic's apprentice on the rear end of town. The police investigation into the mugging determined that the muggers were members of the Howlers. A mixed gang that mostly worked in drugs and offering "protection" to store owners, That was all the information Mike needed.

Mike joined up with the Bratva, also called the brother hood, an of shoot of the Russian mob. If the cops couldn't touch the Howlers without evidence then Mike would just have to rise through the ranks of the Mob until he had enough influence to take them all out, and rise he did. Over the next few years he became one of the mob's most valuable soldiers and all the money he earned went to his fathers medical bills and his mother mortgage During a deal that went bad at a construction site a few of the mob were ambushed by the howlers. Mike fought fiercely but the longer the shoot out went the clearer it became that he and his brothers would not get out alive. He clutched his lucky charms as the Howlers began to flank him and he new it was over. Suddenly his hand felt cold and numb and he thought he had been hit. He looked down and saw that his hand was slowly turning to obsidian. The transformation moved up his arm and covered his whole body. Just then a Howler came around the corner and fired. As Mike reached to cover his face his arms change shape to form a shield out of the black stone. The howler's gun cycled dry and the gang-member quickly tried to reload but was stopped by a left hook from Mike. A few minutes later the police arrived at the seen to find many howlers either beaten or impaled on long sharp shards of obsidian.

After the discovery of his powers mike was promoted to a lieutenant in the mob second only to the boss himself. While this meant more money and more power it also put him one the radar of the GSD. Mike lead a brutal gang war against the Howlers and left their organization in ruins. It wasn't until one day after a firefight in the streets did Mike see the true cost of his revenge. A man walking by had been caught in the crossfire and now lay in the middle of the street with a crying boy next to him. Mike tried to stop the bleeding with the other mobsters fled the scene. Mike refused to be moved until the ambulance arrived. He then surrendered to the police.Due to there being little evidence other than a few incidents and the influence of the mob on the judge mike was given a shorter sentence than he deserved. Twenty years. Jail was hell on Mike until one day a pastor came into the jail. The pastor was't the holier-than-thou type and mike respected that. The pastor was actually an ex con who had gotten into gangs and drugs in his early years but had had his life turned around by a pastor. Mike and this pastor became good friends and eventually Mike became a christian. Mike served the rest of his sentence happier than he had been in a long time. After he got out instead of going back to the mob he went to the GSD and asked them for a chance to help people. He had been given these abilities for a reason.

Edit: Mike has only met with Ryan once or twice but already feels like he is a respectable man and Mike hopes that Ryan can help him improve his life and the neighborhood he grew up in. Mike has yet to tell the true extent of his knowledge regarding the Russian Mob which he has decided he must take down to make amends. This time however he will do it by the book.


Other: Covered in many tattoos from his time in the mob. Any other member of the mob could read these tattoos like a book and learn his rank, kills, specialties and times in prison.
Always wears his necklace with a piece of obsidian on it against his skin for quick transformations

Couple things of note to add - none of this is ultimately an indication of acceptance or refusal (roughly seven more hours before Ill settle on that), but is merely for clarity purposes.

1. R riptide131 --- The RP will be dependent on Shane's existence being known to the GSD. In this case, if you mark him as White List, I can establish that his rooftop deal was caught on camera, facial recognition identified him, and he was added to Ryan's Chicago caseload, though they haven't met as of yet. Alternatively, if he's taken "vigilante" action, or been publicly using his powers, he'd be a Green, and there are any one of a thousand ways he could have been identified that way. Also will want you to find something for appearance.
2. Raku -- Safe to assume he's not only Green, but they know exactly who he is between DNA samples left at the scene and cell phone tracking.

In general, all characters must currently be living in Chicago (though you don't have to do any edits to incorporate that - its merely implied that they are currently living within about 30 miles of the city).

Other things --
I hadn't thought of this initially, but feel free to type up a writing sample in a spoiler about your character. I won't make it necessary, but it'll certainly be "extra credit."

 

[Raku]

Vudukudu I got ya. Didn't think of that at first.

 

[Vudukudu]

Regarding post-character selection:
We may not be starting for a day or so after character's get approved.

For those of you applying with Red or Blue list characters, we'll need to cover the gist of Ryan and your character's previous interactions. If they're on his case load, they've certainly met at least once, and settling on a brief history over PMs (how often they meet, your character's perceptions of Ryan and the GSD, etc.) is helpful for getting some things straight.

For green/white, we'll need to discuss whether or not Ryan and the character have met - GSD doesn't force you to join up, but they do watch you like a hawk if you refuse. With that in mind, we can talk out whether Ryan's gotten around to meeting the character yet, or if they're so fresh an addition to his load that he hasn't gotten out to see them yet.

Vudukudu yeah caught on camera works because if it happened at school there is bound to be at least one student who would've seen him. Also for appearance I have this

 

[Blaire Wisteria]

Name: Wolfram Laurence Hopson


Alias: Locksmith


Age: 37


Appearance:

Spoiler: Appearance

Superhero Costume: He doesn't really have a "costume" per se as much as he just wears basic combat armor to protect himself.


Personality: Wolfram used to be a very bold and brash sort of person, but that all changed when he inadvertently took that young girl's life. Now, he's a husk of his former self, fairly apathetic he just can't be damned to really care about a lot of things anymore. Although, that doesn't mean he doesn't care about anything, he still has somethings he knows he needs to do. While he may no longer care about gaining power and wealth like he used to, he feels as though he needs to better himself and redeem himself all the same.

While he did voluntarily take the maximum sentence for the crime he committed, he still feels like he hasn't done enough to make up for what he took away. Thus, he's always striving to do what's right no matter what, even if it is at the cost of his own life. He often gets so caught up in what he's trying to do that he neglects to create any long lasting relationships with people. Even after saving countless lives and stopping criminals for a good while now, he still has this empty feeling inside that he's not sure if it'll ever be filled once again.


Biography: Wolfram was born to an upper-middle class family in one of the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. He lived inside a fairly large house adorned with as many technological marvels as they could cram into it. His parents weren't around much at all due to related issues. To compensate their absences, they spoiled Wolfram rotten. All throughout his life, he would get anything that he wanted no matter what it was, no questions asked. Although this did nothing for him academically as his grades slowly began to plummet slowly over time until he dropped out of high school halfway through his junior year.

Even through all of that, his parents still continued to financially support him and provide him with shelter. But even they had their tipping point, which was reached during an argument over what Wolfram was doing with his life. This ended with Wolfram getting kicked out of their home and being completely cut off financially at the age of nineteen. Realizing that he literally has nothing, he did the only thing he thought he could do, check back with some old connections he had from when he was in school and crash with them. Well it turns out the price to pay to hang with them was to assist then with various criminal activities to which he reluctantly agreed.

It was at this time when he discovered his latent abilities in the middle of a B&E wherein two members of the small gang he was a part of and him got trapped within a large vault in an elderly man's basement while he was away on vacation. Realizing that he wouldn't be back for quite sometime, they began to panic as they didn't want to end up going unnoticed and dying down there. At first they tried to brute force their way out by repeatedly slamming themselves against the large door to no avail. Accepting their fate, they spent the next day they spent planning how they could potentially use the contents of the vault to Macgyver their way out, but in the end, they were at a loss. The next day, they just sat away from each other, no one saying a word, just accepting their fate. That's when suddenly Wolfram suddenly began to get a weird feeling in his head as he sat slumped up against the vault door.

Suddenly, he understood the intricacies inside of the door and it's locking mechanism. Keeping it to himself, he just figured he was going cray from being kept in a small room with nothing to eat for a couple days. Although, the thoughts of the door and what was within it never left the back of hims mind. No matter what, they wouldn't leave. At this point hours had passed by and they wouldn't go away. He just wanted to turn the gears within, he just wanted to move the tumblers, he just wanted that stupid door to open, and that's when it did. The two members who were in there with him looked up to see the door wide open with Wolfram just standing there looking at it. Not even questioning how he did it, the three booked it out of there never too return.

Of course, later finding out that he had somehow gotten the door to open with his mind had the whole group ecstatic. Trying out his newly gained abilities on the locks around their hideout, he found that he could just lock and unlock whatever he wanted to. Taking this as a sign, the group turned all their efforts to as many break ins and bank robberies as they could. With Wolfram with them, there was nothing that could stop them from just getting in and out of anyplace with as much loot as they could grab thus earning him the name "Locksmith"

With all their successful break ins, the group started getting cocky, believing that nothing could stop them, not even the police. SO they planned to rob a bank in broad daylight just to show off. Well let's just say that it didn't go all to well. Two members were shot to death by police after starting a gunfight with the police that soon gathered outside after an employee set off the silent alarm. With that as a distraction, the rest escaped to the getaway vehicle only to be chased by the police. During the high speed chase, the dimwitted driver began to panic and wasn't looking where he was going and hits a little girl crossing the street killing her instantly. Wolfram looked on in horror as her body slammed off of the hood of the car and off the windshield. Soon after, he bailed on his crew, and turned himself in immediately. He remained silent and did his time. During his sentence, he was contacted by the GSD, but refused to make any sort of deal until he had fully served his sentence, no deals, no mercy.

He got out 15 years later at 34, still a fairly young man, but hardened. It wasn't long until he was contacted by the GSD yet again, accept this time Wolfram agreed to join up. He didn't care if he was put on the red list, he had to make up for what he helped do in the past, no matter what it was. While he can't bring that little girl's life back, he can certainly try to turn his around.


Skills: Has exceptional knowledge on the mechanical aspects of most technology and conventional firearms.


Superpowers: Wolfram has a sub-form of Technopathy, the ability to control machines with only the mind, called Technokinesis. Similar to regular Technopathy, he has control over machines, but only the mechanical aspects of them. This has it's own strengths compared to traditional Technopathy as well as it's cons. While a technopath can communicate with machines and alter coding as well as controlling electronics through the electrical components within as well as said coding, Wolfram can do none of those. But at the same time, he can can control the more physical aspects of technology without the need of electricity or coding. He can understand the mechanical intricacies and gain control over the more mechanical aspects of anything within a 50-100 foot radius. Many applications include unlocking anything that doesn't happen to have an electronic lock, switching the safety on a gun and/or ejecting the magazine from a gun, or even starting up a car or vehicle and drive it around without actually being in it. As well as knowing what and where anything mechanical is within that radius which ca help identify enemy locations or what they might be going up against.

Lists: Red


Other: He often has a blank, somber look in his eyes despite what he might actually be feeling at the time.


Theme Song: Still looking for one that'd fit.

 

[Shireling]

Name: Noble Wells


Alias (if any): "Nobs" or (derogatorially) "Hobnober"


Age: 34


Appearance (image, no toons):



Superhero Costume: Noble doesn't wear a costume, persay, but is known for his grey overcoat and bowler hat, the latter being a family heirloom. He wears a .38 police special in a shoulder holster.


Personality (2 paragraphs):

Noble is not a white knight vigilante by any means. He is motivated by cash, just like the PIs in old movies. He is charming, but disinterested in women beyond once-off encounters and general light banter and flirtation. He is frugal, to the point of being tightfisted, and is early for everything.

Furthermore, Noble is not caring, sweet, or thoughtful, but he's also not a complete jackass. His tough guy exterior doesn't hide a heart of gold, more like just an average joe making his way in the world and trying to keep up with a growing alcohol habit.


Biography (3+ solid paragraphs):

Noble was born in Brooklyn, and grew up in the poor neighborhood of Bedford Sty in the predominantly black section of the Burrough. Growing up there gave him a good deal of street smarts, and made him more comfortable around African Americans than most white New Yorkers. Furthermore, his grades were always lackluster but he dreamed of a day he could be an adventure-having, dame-smooching detective like Batman or Humphrey Bogart. His fascination with detective stories grew into a lifelong obsession.

At 18, he entered the Police Academy but washed out just two years later due to a tendency to get into fights and a tendency towards liquor. Being a persistent bastard, Noble finally gained a license to be a private investigator at 22 and joined a firm in Brooklyn where he handled small-time cases of finding cheating wives or missing relatives who didn't want to be found.

It was during this time that he began to realize he had a talent for reading people's minds. Literally. Toss up a softball question, hear their answer, but see what they're really thinking. He can't do mind-fuckery or go digging around in there, but tons of people think he can. He gained a reputation in New York as a rising talent detective, but his alcohol problems hamstrung him from joining the NYPD. He went into private practice at 27. He scrapes by, he does okay for himself. Even had a potential wife, before the engagement fell through of course. Well, what else is there then? Take another case, pay another bill.


Skills: Moderately stealthy, good with sidearms, decent with long guns.



Superpowers: Mind Reader --- Essentially, Noble can "read" other's thoughts as if they are his own. In order for this to work, he has to be concentrating on his target and they must be actively thinking the information to themselves. This is easily prompted with a probing question. His powers require much less concentration on inebriated or otherwise intoxicated targets, and his power also grows more keen as he himself becomes more inebriated (although there is a law of diminishing returns here). His powers cannot be rebuffed by a mental effort, but one can simply keep him from learning something by not thinking about it.

Name:

Age:

Appearance (image, no toons):

Superhero Costume (try not to copy existing characters. Text description will suffice here if you cannot find something adequate.)

Spoiler

Spoiler

(bottom corner)

Personality (2 paragraphs):
Skylar is slow to trust outsiders, preferring to stick closely to those she trusts and knows. Since that isn't many, she often seems to come off as a more cold, silent, and secluded person. Her coworkers for that matter don't even know her all that well. Truly her almost undying loyalty to others is the exact opposite of what her stature shows. She typically has a tendency to not talk much, instead letting the other person say their fill before adding her small commentaries if she has any. Of course this doesn't mean that she won't be friendly and hold a conversation with someone. Quite the opposite if you manage to engage her in a conversation of common interests. Though she will always try her hardest to be the kindest she can be towards newer people.

Skylar also has the tendency to hide and bottle up her emotions and deeper thoughts. She simply would rather bear her own burdens than have other people be bothered or worried over them as well. This in turn leads to her short temper and sometimes aggressive actions if she gets to agitated or angered. Despite her anger however, she does her best to keep her face neutral and passive while with any person.

Biography (3+ solid paragraphs):
Skylar's parents were the typical average, non attention grabbing people. Her father was an unstationed marine, and her mother worked at full resort spa. At a semi-young age of 6 her parents divorced, and he father gained full custody of her. Her mother, as her father claimed, never wanted any part of her daughters life, which would explain her lack of desire for any custody. A few months after the divorce was finalized her father was stationed out of country on a more remote base, and with no other real options Skye was brought with him. As a little girl at the time there wasn't a whole lot for her to do during the day, so one day as an attempt to help her boredom a friend of her dad took her to a more unused sector of the base and taught her how to use her first bow. From that day forward Skye instantly took a liking to archery and started to continually practice with the weapon. It was in the middle of these years of drilling that she first started to tinker and mess around with different types of arrows, and modifying them to different things.

For years Skye was completely happy and content living with her father on the base. However a few months after her 17th birthday, her father was killed in battle and her whole world was turned upside down. Sadly the only known person who was related to her was her mother who lived back in Chicago, and she was forced to move back to the United States and in with her mother. Over the past 11 years her mother had somewhat gone of the deep end. The woman had recently lost her job and instead started relying on many different men and boyfriends to provide her money to live. It seemed as though she still wanted nothing to do with her daughter, since after Skye moved into the small apartment her mother was rarely home, and when she was, it was normally with a newfound boyfriend. Skye pushed forward still, continuing on with her schooling, and even getting a part-time job at a nearby fast food place. A few months into her new life Skye caught sight of a bow that was in excellent shape in a pawn shop window, and soon scraped enough money together to buy it. (With a fair amount of bargaining with the owner that is) With her new treasure she quickly set up a makeshift shooting range on the roof of the apartment building, and soon starting using it to take out her bottled up emotions and feelings.

On one dark night on the rooftop was where and when she discovered her powers. When practicing her drawback speed, without an arrow knocked, an arrow of bright gleaming light started to form in place of the missing arrow. In her moment of panic Skye let out a short scream and let go of the bowstring, sending the arrow flying into the short ledge along the edge of the rooftop. The arrow shattered on impact, and left a large black smoldering mark on the wall. From that day forth she slowly started to experiment little by little until she slowly grasped the basic concept of her powers.

Skye moved out almost immediately after she turned 18 and got a small apartment and a steady job at a restaurant busting tables. In her spare time and on weekends she would go and practice her shooting and powers out of town in more secluded areas.

One night after walking home from one of her late night shifts, she managed to stumble upon a man being mugged and rushed into help in anyway she could. Needless to say the fight went very badly for both Skye and the man being mugged, but she managed to get the mugger to back off and let the two off with black eyes and cuts. Though they still got to keep their items. This event and semi-win is what inspired Skylar to put her archery skills to use and up her combat skills by going out at night to do what she could to help everyday people who got into trouble.

Skills (Tae Kwan Do, hacking, etc.):
~ A small amount of experience dealing with technology/not much
-Mainly in engineering different trick and arrow types
~ Close hand to hand combat
~ High archery mastery

Superpowers:
Light manipulation and manifestation ~ This is the form of her blue light arrows. Currently all she can do is form arrows of light when she dry draws her bow, or any other bow. She needs a conduit to focus and center the light into an arrow shape. Potentially she could further develop this skill to form small weapons of light, or even form arrows without a bow, but this is unknown to her since she has just now started to get a grasp on her powers. Only 4-5 arrows can be shot off in a row in the span of about 30 minutes. If the arrows are more spread out 6-7 can be shot if in about an hour time period before she gets overwhelmed with exhaustion and collapses.

Superhero Costume:
Her costume is a bit embarrassing for her but it gets the job done. Since her power would be highly destructive and disintegrate whatever clothing she could potentially wear, she now wears a full body suit made out of latex. While the material molds to every nook and cranny of her body it's still better than ending up in the complete nude after every use of her power. When she's not in costume however, she must wear a pair of thick latex gloves so as to not charge/shock everything and everyone she touches.

History

History
Born and raised in the shitty side of Chicago, Syd grew up committing petty crimes and hanging out with the wrong crowd. She was raised in the system, her mother having given birth to her in prison and her father deemed unable to raise a child properly. Her earliest memories were of her 6 older foster brothers making fun of her for not being able to keep up with them in all the rough and rowdy games they would play. Her foster parents, however, were kind and loving despite having to work all the time in order to support them, so thanks to their lack of a presence and her brothers roughhousing, Syd grew up with a backbone at least. Her brothers were into some bad things, dangerous things that could - did- get some of them in deep trouble. Syd hadn't really understood what was going on, being a relatively clueless brat, and all she knew was that no one wanted to mess with the Walker boys plus hanging out with her big brothers became pretty fun after they stopped bullying her so much. It wasn't until she watched her brothers ''accidentally' give this one kid in school a hard time and then watching that same kid shoot up the school with the Walkers on the top of his hit list that she thought, maybe her brothers weren't cool - maybe they were just foolish and cruel.
The kid, Darren his name was, targetted her first despite her being only a mere bystander to the bullying. He'd grabbed her by the hair(she'd had it long at the time) and said that if her brothers didn't get on the ground and beg for forgiveness then she'd pay the price. This was where her forgiveness complex was born. 5 out of 6 of her brothers obeyed while Jeremy, the oldest, tried to play Mr. Cool guy and gave a half-assed and sarcastic apology. If it wasn't for Sydney being a rambunctious little shit who struggled the whole time she was being held hostage despite a gun being pressed to her head, the bullet would have went straight through her head instead of grazing it. Afterwards, of course her brothers started begging for her to be spared and causing a commotion, as if their grovelling after the fact could make the bleeding stop and soothe Darrens frayed emotions. They were lucky that just then and there the police had entered and had Darren surrounded but not lucky enough for Darren to not fire off one last shot that found its way right into Johnnys, the brother closest in age to Syd, chest.
That incident resulted in Syd cutting her hair short, partly to avoid being in a situation like that and partly because her scar (it was about 5 inches long and the scar tissue didn't allow hair to grow back) was a reminder of just how serious your actions, no matter how harmless and playful, can be to someone else and no apologies or pleas can take them back. Life wasn't the same without Johnny; he was the only one who seemed to understand what she was going through since he'd been in her same position before she'd came along to join the Walker family. For a while she was self-destructive, getting into drugs and living somewhat promiscuously, doing anything and anyone in search of escape from the dark cloud that had settled over her home life after Johnny's death and away from the probing questions and stares of guidance counselors and students at school.
When Sydney graduated(barely) high school she enlisted in the military since there was no way in hell she was going to college or staying anywhere near her hometown. In the military was where she'd met her first husband, Ethan; they'd been young and dumb and foolishly in love and had that love not been cut short it wasn't hard to imagine them being young and dumb well into their retirement. Ethan had been Sydneys recruitment officer who just so happened to be in the same platoon she'd been assigned to after Basic and it had been an instant click since they'd first met. They'd been married only 8 months before Sydney had been told she was being deployed to Iraq and entering the frontlines. They'd both been devastated, not for the possiblity of death but for the strain it would put on their relationship; that was when Ethan did the unthinkable - ask to be deployed with her. She hadn't begged for him to come along, but she didn't necessarily shut the idea down....But had she known that by not speaking up and encouraging Ethan to come along she was sealing the deal on his death, she would have done anything to have him stay safe and sound at the base in Georgia.
Ethan died in the line of battle but Syd didn't give up hope in love. She found bits and pieces of Ethan in a select few other guys, all of which met their demise in similar and foolish ways. After losing so many people she cared about, seemingly one after the other, she focused on her work.
It was by submerging herself in assignments and missions where she first started discovering her powers. She was on a recon mission when she first realized that she had the ability to hack into electrical currents thus making it easy to tap into the enemies command center and collect information. After discovering this ability but still not understanding it fully, Syd decided to keep it a secret for the time being and served 3-4 more years in the military before mysteriously going AWOL.
She ran away because she began to feel trapped by the army and after discovering her powers it was like a whole new world was opening up to her, one that no longer involved the military. And what better to do with an ability like hers but to become one of the most world-renowned hackers in history? For years she was known as the Ghost, hacking into government files and occasionally snooping into international affairs, often times just trying to get to the truth of somethings that some organizations try to cover up on the internet. It didn't take long for the government to hunt her down, though it still took longer for them to find her than they would like to admit. After getting caught she was handed over to GSD with long list of major felonies she was proved guilty of, and after a little convincing of the judge and serval government and GSD officials that she could be of great use to them, she wound up a GSD lackey. That was 2 years ago, now she just helps out where she's needed whether thats training new recruits or hacking into a surveillance camera or supplying electricity in black outs.

♦ P E R S O N A ♦

Personality

Syd is an old soul, very jaded, one who's more or less seen the world and experienced some shit that makes her how she is today. She can be extremely sarcastic and a bit rude to new people, especially the more priveledged amoung those she normally encounters. She's very observant, which is why you can't really label her as judgemental - she is very versatile as far as seeing things through other people's perspectives goes.
But don't get her wrong, she doesn't forgive and she sure as hell doesn't forget.
Sydney can seem a bit of a hardass but she's lost too many people to stupid mistakes and has destroyed many friendships by saying things or doing things that couldn't be taken back, so as far as forgiveness goes she has little to no compassion with those who screw up. What she does have a soft spot for is people who acknowledge their mistakes and instead of asking for forgiveness or dismissal from them, they try to correct them or at least accept the fact that they'd done somethine wrong. For this, she may seem like a hypocrite since she is technically a criminal herself. Despite her past crimes, Sydney is a very honest person and lives her life with little to no lies unless absolutely necessary.

D E T A I L S

Electricity Manipulation
Sydney can create, shape and manipulate electricity, a form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), allowing control over electric fields, all charge carriers (Ions, Electrons, Protons, and Positrons), electronics, and electromagnetic forces. Her powers go a bit father than the basic electrokinesis and leans heavily towards the electrocommunication and technology manipulation aspects of electrokinesis.
Electrocommunication allows for her to be able to interface with natural and unnatural electrical signals found all around us as well as the ones used by some animals and insects to communicate. Sydney can also use electrocommunication to locate objects around her. This is important in places where the she cannot depend on vision: for example in caves, in murky water and at night. This sense can be used either passively or actively. When the ability is passive, she can sense the weak bioelectric fields generated by living beings and use it to locate them. These electric fields are generated by everything living due to the activity of their nerves and muscles. When actively inducing the power she can sense her surrounding environment by generating electric fields and detecting distortions in these fields. This allows her to detect non-living objects as well as living beings.
Technology manipulation means she has an affinity for technology and via electrokinesis, she can develop a physical interaction with the currents of machinery and a psychic connection that allows for mental interface with computer data.

Had one more request for an extension, so it'll be a few more hours.

 

[mikaluvkitties]

Name: Devon Mack

Alias: N/A

Age: 24

Appearance:

Superhero Costume: None

Personality: On the outside, Devon appears very go with the flow, extremely willing to compromise and listen to other’s ideas. Empathy comes easy to him, and he’s quite capable of stepping in and helping mediate when necessary. To those he cares about deeply, he even verges on being a mother hen.

However, on the inside, Devon is a mess. At an early age, he was taught that wearing his emotions on his sleeve was bad, and the best way to deal with feeling bad was to bottle it up until you end up crying over the fact that you forgot to water your plants the other day and you are a terrible plant parent.

The most common negative feelings he finds himself combatting are anxiety, worry, and fear. Fear of confrontation, of being alone, that someone’s going to poison his dog, and, most recently, that he’ll be unable to control himself or his powers and end up hurting someone.

He’s constantly second-guessing himself, thinking through everything he does carefully, regretting it a second later. He often has to dismiss himself from a situation to go freak out in the bathroom instead, and that’s before you actually put something stressful on his plate.

Biography: Devon grew up in the suburbs with a mom, dad and all the love he could ask for. The only thing he occasionally longed for was a sibling, someone to help him combat the loneliness with. So they got him a fish. This in a lot of ways summed up the disconnect he and his parents had throughout his youth. He would have a problem, and they’d try to fix it, just not well.

This is exactly what happened with Devon’s emotions. When he began getting terrified of school and failure to the point of skipping class, they decided they finally had to teach him how to deal with that, which for them meant teaching him to bottle it all up inside.

Despite his worries over how his parents would react to him failing a class ever, he managed to get through high school with As and Bs- decent. Devon decided against going to college early on, instead opting to jump right into the workforce. His parents didn’t like it, and still disapprove of his decision to become successful without getting himself in thousands of dollars worth of debt first, and it’s one of the major reasons he tries to avoid them nowadays.

Though during his youth Devon adored superheroes as much as any other kid, as he got older he became more weary, as a lot of people probably do. In some ways, his job reinforced this, as he got to see some of the damage superheroes did first hand.

Eventually, after some conversations with friends from work, he realized that the way he handled these things wasn’t exactly normal. After a lot of second guessing himself, he went to see a therapist. From them, he has been learning things he should have years ago, like how to stop and breathe when the stress feels like it’s about to overwhelm you.

This came in really useful when someone attempted to mug him on his way home from work about a month ago. He just focused on his breathing, trying to reach for his wallet as cool, calm and collected as he could manage, and when the guy got a little jumpy and tried to shoot him- he didn’t get hit. It just slowed down enough that after they both stared at it for a second he could simply bat it out of the air.

While he was still reeling from that, the guy kinda ran off, because superpowers are scary, and Devon has not felt nearly as calm since.

Skills: Very basic self-defense, basic first aid, damage assessment, can work technology well enough

Superpowers: When calm and focused, Devon can generate a sphere around themselves just big enough that if they were to reach out their arms they wouldn't touch the edges with the ability to slow things down to the point of harmlessness.

Lists: White List

Other: He has a dog. His name is Polo and he loves him very much. He's an insurance agent. He puts way too much of his self-worth into how well he can care for his plants.

Apps are closed. Will do final review once I get out of this movie. Feel free to knock about any last minute edits you'd like. If accepted, I'll be getting in touch afterwards to cover some stuff as they relate to inter-character history, as well as some "things everyone knows" like the details of the Chicago Incident, the Citadel, a couple well known figures (couple heroes and villains, mostly fluff material), a rough timeline of history as it relates to superpowers, that sorta stuff. Lots of it is fluff material that you may not find useful, but I like to flesh stuff out a bit so I'll do it for others who appreciate that kinda stuff.

Couple things.

1. Selections have been made. I'm happy to have gotten the chance to review your characters, and it was honestly difficult to come to a conclusion of any sort. The choices made do not reflect on your quality as writers - I opted for what I believe would construct the most interesting character dynamics. Thank you all for applying - if someone drops out, I will reach out to others to substitute in.
2. Apologies for all the delays. Today was much busier than I anticipated. I'll be getting around to the associated information and communications later this evening or tomorrow.
3. Again, thank you all for applying. I would have loved to take you all, but in my experience, going above the number of participants I chose often hamstrings the RP, especially when it is setup the way it is.

Things are rolling, by the way.
