Quirks: sharpening his swords meticulously - rolling his eyes
Fears: failure - disappointing his father - relying on others - commitment
Ambitions: to make his father proud - to be able to take care of himself without his father
Personality:
Kaito is a man always at war. If not with a sword, then with himself. Being raised by a league of assassins, his life was always far from normal. His family was a band of ruthless killers, he had to be strong because there was no other option. Because of his cold upbringing he has never let anyone close enough to rely on them. Even Kai isn't sure who the real him is, and he's not sure he wants to. The boy without the sword is a mystery to everyone, including himself.
In spite of all of the violence surrounding him, Kaito is secretly rather compassionate. Beneath his grumpy facade, Kai has a soft spot for those who stick around despite his hard exterior. His first instinct is to be the ruthless killer he was raised to be, but the older he gets the more he questions his families way of life.
biography.
Nokuda Kaito was doomed from birth. Perhaps, even before birth. His father, infamous assassin Nokuda Tetsuzan, had sought out a strong, healthy woman to impregnate solely for the purpose of raising a weapon. From birth Kai was made to be a weapon, training to fight from the moment he could walk and learning battle tactics.
Tetsuzan's profession kept him quite distant from his child, the result being that their relationship was less father-son and more professional. In the place of a mother or father, Kaito grew up with a never ending cycle of professional assassins as his personal teachers.
Kaito would be their secret weapon to further their growing empire. Tetsuzan didn't show his child affection, in fact he barely talked to him outside of training. Every waking moment was spent with some form of training, whether in martial arts, weaponry, or intellectual skill.
The constant bloodshed is all that Kaito has ever known, and it has taken its toll on him. By the time he was eighteen, he was completing every mission his father assigned him with ease. However, as artfully trained as he was, he was still just a child suffering extreme nightmares and anxiety. A lifetime of PTSD and near death experiences led to his decision to join the Heroes of Tomorrow when confronted with the option to join or spend the rest of his life in prison after he was captured on a mission gone wrong. While outwardly Kai rebelled, there is a part of him that's curious to see what more there is to life besides doing his fathers' dirty deeds.

Personality:
Constant war is all that Kataly'a has ever known, and it has taken its toll on her. The champion of a dying race, Kataly'a has the weight of an entire planet on her shoulders. No one is harder on Kataly'a than herself, always striving to be better, to be good enough for her people. A practiced smile is always plastered on her face, to ease the worries of those around her even when she's cracking under the pressure.
Despite all of the violence surrounding her, Kataly'a is loyal to her people to no end and rather compassionate. There is nothing that Kat wouldn't do to protect her people and those she cares about. To Earthlings she is rather friendly and curious, but her affinity for violence often makes it hard to make friends. All she knows to be is a ruthless warrior, but Earth is bringing out a softer side of her and she is learning to be more human.
The princess has spent her whole life fighting to survive, now that she's on Earth she is able to explore, not just the planet but herself. Kataly'a enjoys the diversity of Earth, even though it is much different than her homeworld. While she misses home, she is learning many valuable things that she can one day take home and use to save her dying race.
Biography
Almerac is a planet populated by Almeracians, a humanoid race of technologically advanced warriors with energy manipulation abilities. The Almeracians are ruled by a matriarchy of superpowered monarchs who maintain their bloodline and energy manipulation through selective breeding. The Almeracians choose mates through ceremonial gladiatorial competitions; whichever male can defeat a prospective female in battle earns her hand in marriage.
As the daughter of Queen Maxima and her consort Ultraa, Kataly'a is not the type of princess fairytales are written about. The princess was training to fight, learning war tactics, and the ins and outs of intergalactic politics as soon as she could walk. Her life was far from normal, even for an alien. The Almeracians were fierce warriors, she had to be strong because there was no other option and as their future queen she needed to be the strongest of them all.
Being the heir to the throne, the young princess had a ton of pressure put on her from the moment she was born. It was never an option for her to fail, she had to be the best, the strongest, the smartest. There was never time to rest for the young girl, if she wasn't training in combat she was learning her other royal duties, such as foreign diplomacy. Because of all the weight on her shoulders, Kataly'a is very hard on herself and often lashes out in frustration.
The Almeracian's had been raging war with anyone who dared cross them for thousands of years, but one of their most vile enemies was the Citadel. When Kataly'a was sixteen her father, Ultraa, was killed in battle against the Citadel and the whole planet mourned for him. Both Queen Maxima and her daughter raged war even more ruthlessly, both woman bitter and determined to get revenge even if it killed them. It was only a few more months of battle before Almerac won, destroying the Citadel for the time being.
Kataly'a is afraid to disappoint her parents and her entire species. Being the crown princess there is a whole world on her shoulders, her entire life she has learned how to take care of her people and never been allowed to make selfish decisions. Her race is already dwindling, and her failure could lead to the end of their race or the destruction of their home planet. Even years after her father's death she is grieving, and part of her wonders if the warrior lifestyle is the only way her people can survive, or if it is what's killing them off.
Since then, Kataly'a has only been harder on herself and more determined to succeed. Without her father, her mother has grown weary and has started preparing her daughter to take over the throne for good. While the warrior life is all that she's ever known, she wants to travel the galaxy and make formidable allies to ensure that Almerac will be in a good place when she takes over. Kataly'a enrolled in Crucible Academy, an intergalactic school for heroes where she was recruited by the Justice League and assigned to Earth.

D.O.B: June 12
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Ethnicity: Korean-Chinese
Visage —
Hair: long black hair, blonde highlights.
Eyes: almond, brown.
Height: 5’4”
Weight: 120 lbs
Build: Athletic
Skin: light beige

Quirks: playing with her thumbs - rolling the bottom of her shirt
Motivations: to be better than she once was - make up for her past
Likes: fighting - cats - coffee - victory
Dislikes: rules - dogs - loud noises - loss
Personality: Jade is never mentally at peace, either anxious that her past will catch up or she will become her mother. She even now may not be anything near an upstanding citizen due to her tendencies for killing. Jade was raised without love, affection, and attention. She doesn’t know what these emotions are, they don’t correlate with her. Being brought up around and in a league of assassins, Jade's life was nothing short of. . .unique. Since Jade does not know what friends are let alone a relationship in general, she does not let people get close to her, no matter how hard one can try.
Biography/History -
Jade Wu-San, legacy and daughter of the Dragon. Some say she was born from the pits of hell, when reality was much worse. Thailee Wu-san, a highly nefarious and infamous assassin who had the title of “The Dragon.” Thailee had a reputation as one of the most dangerous women on the planet. Being an irrefutable master of the martial arts. An undefeated and never underestimated killer, and leader of a longtime-standing assassin group known as “The League of Serpents.” Though the one thing she longed for yet never had was a daughter. For years, Thailee searched high and low for a man up to her standards. A man with fortune. . .power to steal for her own.
Jade's father had been an unsuspecting civilian businessman, having a company heavily involved within advancing medical technologies. Whilst Thailee framed herself to be the perfect, innocent girl any man had an eye out for. She was beautiful, kind, and a liar. She soon became impregnated with the one thing she dreamed of having, an heiress. Thailee soon discarded this man, going back to her home, an isolated Island within the Pacific ocean.
Now, onto the most important part, Jade. Ever since she could even walk on her two feet, training was shoved onto her. Day in and day out, training. Countless hours and days of being pushed beyond her limits, spilling blood left and right. Thailee hoped to create the perfect assassin. A young girl, a weapon who had no flaws. She was to be a faultless killing machine. At age eight Jade was taken with her mothers subjects to see groups of people brutally murdered. The girl knew nothing more than to hunt and kill. Hell, Jade barely knew English nor any other language for the majority of her life, and still now she is not fluent. She was not spoken to unless it was for an objective hit. Her mother didn’t show affection because it was weak, a sign of an inadequate threat. About the ripe age of fifteen she began to indulge in solo assassinations. So much blood on a teenager's hands. Young children, parents, families. All removed from the blade of her sword.
Twenty One. On one of Jade's objectives she was sent to dispose of a lawyer who had dabbled in the wrong business, and to also kill anyone who had gotten in the way. Jade did just that, until she saw a scared child, no older than six. She understood what monstrosities she was doing. Looking around at the bloodshed and dying bodies she had stacked up during her objective she understood these people weren’t evil, it was her. She was the monster. . . She was her mother. Jade went into hiding. Thankfully her identity had been a complete secret. To any government she was non-existent, a ghost. There was no “Jade Wu San.” Nothing. One fateful night on the streets she stumbled across a set-up kidnapping. Being in a more- heroic state she saved the child, but made sure not to kill the “kidnappers,” which soon turned out to be a recruitment. Heroes of Tomorrow. She joined. There was no better route for her to choose. Stay homeless living off of dumpster foods or have a second chance?
Abilities: hand to hand - martial arts -swordsmanship - marksmanship - acrobatics - stealth - medicine - tactical analysis - indomitable will
Powers - Jade with the ability to subconsciously generate a "psionic aura" that alters the probabilities of events and actions within her line of sight. The aura causes improbable (but not impossible) outcomes that are personally beneficial. The resulting effects of this "subliminal telekinesis" are observed as "good luck" for Jade and "bad luck" for her opponents (from enemy equipment serendipitously malfunctioning to averting imminent catastrophes through seemingly-chance actions).
Instead of consciously activating her probability-warping powers, they trigger automatically when Jade faces potential harm, danger, or personal benefit (e.g. engaging in games of chance). The psionic aura benefits and protects Jade even when she isn't consciously aware that danger is present.
Jade must be engaging in an action with multiple possible outcomes for her power to manifest—it will not trigger if she is inactive. Engaging in any action that her power can influence causes Jade’s cerebral cortex to emit bio electrical pulses that guide her movements, enhancing her reflexes and agility to near-superhuman levels.
Enhanced Physical Traits: Strength, Durability, Speed, agility, and senses.
Equipment: dual shortswords - throwing knives - chakram - her suit - metal claws
Strengths: tactically intelligent - athletic - high pain tolerance - peak physical
Weaknesses: hard to trust others - lone wolf - PTSD

gen, you viper
Basics —
Name: Sybil Williams
Code Name: Pythia (previously known as Magic8)
Age: 22-ish? (presumably- Sybil doesn't really know.)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual? Maybe somewhere on the ace/aro spectrum? She doesn't really think about it much.
Ethnicity: Unknown to her, but seems to be of mixed Asian and Central American heritage
Visage —
Hair: Black, straight. She usually wear it short in some sort of bob, with the neck cropped so that the eye tattoo on the back of her neck is exposed but long enough in the front that she can at least partially hide her eyes behind it.
Eyes: N/A. See below.
Build: 5'4", 162 lbs. Sybil is not really 'in shape', but she's not 'out of shape' either. She's just.... Whatever shape she is, and she's fine with it. She doesn't really go to the gym or anything, but she does a lot of pushups and arm curls while she's waiting on information, so her arms do have some muscle definition beyond your average youth.
Body Mods:
Tattoos: Sybil has many tattoos, all of different designs of eyes. She has a large one on the back of her neck and one in the middle of her collarbone. She has eyes on both shoulderblades, and eyes on the back of her hands and the inside of her wrists. She has eyes on the outside of her knees. She has a lot of eyes, basically.
Scarring: Where Sybil's actual eyes should be is a mess of scars- What looks like might be burns from fire or acid, as well as scars that were probably caused by knives or other sharp instruments. It looks like someone did their damndest to remove Sybil's eyes from her head, and succeeded.
She usually covers these scars through a variety of means. She has small, flesh colored masks that adhere to her face and cover her eye sockets, and these masks have an eye drawn on the left side. By herself, she usually ties a bandana around her face as well. In public, she wears dark, chunky sunglasses and low brimmed hats. The scars are mostly contained to her eye sockets, but are not entirely covered by these concealment methods and a bit of burning can be seen on the right side. If she is going out and about, she will hide that with makeup.
She has considered plastic surgery- one doctor she consulted with said he could restore the left socket enough to hold a fake eyeball and make the skin look more normal- but she hates the idea of going under someone's knife.
Persona —
Moral Alignment: True neutral
Virtues: Self sufficient | Confident (maybe a little too much, and usually more than she actually feels) | Quick thinking and adaptable | Reflective and willing to improve herself (so long as she does not have to admit to it)
Vices: Self centered | Immature | Cynical | Arrogant | Habitual liar | Nosy and interfering, with no understanding of privacy
Quirks:
Sybil often hums when she works- Nonsense tunes as she sketches what she sees, or sometimes muttering under her breath trying to read lips or describe something in a way she will remember.
She is ambidextrous, but leads with her left foot.
She doesn't like strong smells, especially floral in nature.
Without her eyes, Sybil has learned to be very expressive in other ways to get her point across- Her mouth and eyebrows are constantly contorting themselves.
Fears:
Not being useful. Sybil has based her entire worth in her abilities and the information she can collect. If she can't provide something of value, what's the value of her?
Her past catching up to her, or being known by others. Sybil collects other people's secrets, but she has some of her own. She would like them to stay buried.
Trusting or relying on others. Sybil spent the first decade of her life with no one who cared for her, and no one she cared about. It was easier that way.
Being abandoned. Ties into the above- People always leave. That's just the way it is. If Sybil doesn't get attached to anyone, she can't be hurt when the inevitable happens.
Being unable to see through any means. Sybil is legally blind, and she exploits that to her advantage. But the idea of being truly without sight terrifies her. This ties into how strongly Sybil correlates her abilities with her own self worth. It might also have something to do with how painful it was to lose the eyes she was born with, and the fear that 'losing her sight' again would be similar even if she's old enough now to know that logically wouldn't make sense.
Dark, confined spaces. When using nonbiological eyes (like all of the ones on her own body), Sybil doesn't have great night vision. She pretty much has never turned off the lights in her apartment.
Ambitions: Sybil wants to hold power over people, though she isn't quite sure what that looks like anymore. Mostly, she never wants to feel afraid again. She also likes it when she impresses Oracle.
Personality:
Sybil is a jaded, unpleasant young woman. She is frequently rude and abrasive, and seems to have little respect for authority. Her morals seem loose at best, non-existent at worst. She can pretty much always be relied upon to be self serving.
Interestingly, though, what she deems to be best for her does seem to be… Mutable. When she first began working for Oracle, the only thing she cared about was her paycheck, and tended only to think of the immediate future in terms of reward. Over the years, Oracle has noted a shift. Sybil considers consequences of her actions not in days, but in months and years. She has begun to think about how what she does might affect both herself and Oracle, and their shared operation in the long term.
Sybil now tells her if someone else is after the same information, and not follow that announcement up with an extortion demand. She will also contact Oracle with information she thinks will be useful to the older woman, instead of only answering very specific questions or sharing just what she was assigned to learn. She seems to have learned that cooperating with others and looking out for them, means the favor will be returned.
This may not seem like a lot…. But Sybil is young. In her age, yes, but also in her maturity. She has a lot of growing to do, and Oracle is relieved that she actually seems to be doing it, finally. Sybil did not exactly have a stable, happy environment in which to grow up and learn the sort of lessons normal children do. In her first ‘home’, she was seen as a monster, a corruption of humanity, something to be cured. In her second, her abilities were highly valued and she was given almost anything she wanted. She went from no one to care about or care for her, to only being cared about because of what she could do. The fact that she’s had difficulty adjusting isn’t really much of a surprise.
Sybil is naturally distrustful, and generally assumes that any kindness comes with strings attached. Though cagey around individuals, that distrust is even greater when applied to organizations- Any hierarchy in which she is not in the top rungs is inherently ‘bad’ in her mind.

Biography —
Abilities:
X-Gene Superpower: Optical Transference. Sybil can ‘see’ through eyes that aren’t hers, and even through the images of eyes. This may sound like an incredibly useful and powerful ability, which it certainly is... Or at least has the potential to one day be. The reality, however, is that even though Sybil’s sight is unlimited, her focus isn’t and she’s not nearly as omniscient as she pretends to be.
Technical Abilities:
As Oracle's 'apprentice', the older woman has been teaching Sybil an astonishing breadth of things that Barbara Gordon deems 'good to know'. Some of this is obviously related to surveillance and information gathering- Sybil is assigned different corporations or law enforcement agencies whose records she must access in a certain amount of time. She is tasked with designing her own code to filter information or some other goal, to generate spoofed data, to ruin facial recognition programs, to create false identities that hold up to increasing levels of Oracle's scrutiny. When they talk over the phone or online, Sybil and Barbara are almost always playing a game to see who can access the other's system first- Sybil got onto Oracle's computer once. (And her damned mentor had stuck a sticky note over the video camera anyways.)
But Oracle believes in being 'well rounded', so Sybil's lessons have also involved things like learning how to disable the GPS locator on most car models, repair a broken comms piece (okay, several broken comms pieces, where does O get them all?), build her own computer board and restore data from a waterlogged USB.
Sybil is certainly not at Oracle's level yet, and she probably doesn't have the patience to ever be. But her mentor has declared her to be 'proficient', which is as about as strong of praise as Sybil is likely to get. And she recommend Sybil to run H.O.T.'s comms and surveillance, so. She must be doing something well.
Assorted skills:
Equipment:
Strengths: Able to multitask and split her focus well | Good with technology, trained to deal with hardware and software issues that might come up during hero-ing
Weaknesses: Any situation in which she has to rely on others | See above for a practical guide to limits/weaknesses of Sybil's X-gene power | People knowing how her power works and thus being able to circumvent it (which is why she has never told anyone how her power works, but Oracle has maybe been able to put a lot of it together)
X-Gene Superpower: Optical Transference. Sybil can ‘see’ through eyes that aren’t hers, and even through the images of eyes.

The reality, however, is that even though Sybil’s sight is unlimited, her focus isn’t and she’s not nearly as omniscient as she pretends to be.
Practical Limits:
Sybil must be able to conceptualize the eyes she wishes to look through before she can do so. She needs to know what it and its surroundings look like, and she needs to know where it is in relation to her. She can ‘hop’ to an extent to get to where she wants to see, by using one borrowed eye to determine the location and image of the next one, but cannot see through eyes she herself has never ‘seen’ before in some capacity.
Meta Limits:
As noted above, there are many limitations to what Sybil can see, and it’s actually quite easy to prevent her from learning something, intentionally or not. What I’ve written above is mostly just the highlights of Sybil’s ability and I’m certainly down to explain further if there are any questions! Please let me know if you have any ideas about how Sybil’s abilities can be utilized- or deceived!- to instigate plot.
My basic guidelines for using Sybil’s ability in an RP are 1) she isn’t going to reveal anything specific about other characters or subplots unless I’ve already discussed it with the affected writers in OOC and 2) if we need to create some conflict, Sybil will provide. She is useful that way!
If we (me, an individual writer, the collective group of writers, whoever) decide that Sybil is totally unaware of something (a secret a character has been protecting, that the baddies are preparing to attack, whatever), then she is unaware of it. Sybil is not a respectful character, but I am a respectful writer (or try to be, at least!)
Sybil must be able to conceptualize the eyes she wishes to look through before she can do so.

She can ‘hop’ to an extent to get to where she wants to see, by using one borrowed eye to determine the location and image of the next one, but cannot see through eyes she herself has never ‘seen’ before in some capacity.
- Accuracy. Sybil sees what the eye she is watching through sees, and no more. She is merely an observer, and cannot change the direction or focus of the eye. Her view is subject to colorblindness, far or near sightedness, or poor depth perception. When using a non-biological eye, she only sees in hues in the color the eye is depicted in. She prefers flat images of an eye, as the rounded plastic eye of a stuffed animal or something similarly dimensioned would give her a distorted, fish-eye view. (She once looked through the eyes of a fly, just for fun, and threw up within five minutes.)
- Attention. Sybil likes to be thought omniscient, but that’s hardly the truth. Like a desktop screen, there’s only so much space in Sybil’s mind that she can devote to her sight. Opening ‘new windows’ as it were, means she has to reduce the size of the existing windows to keep them all within view. In reality she usually has maybe six ‘scenes’ that she’s actually paying attention to at any given time, and she’s giving the others just enough attention to be aware of them. Eventually she will lose views if she hasn’t actively given them attention, especially ones based in biological eyes because they can move and if she isn’t aware that their location is changing, she will no longer know the eye’s location. Sybil has been working to expand the size of her metaphorical desktop and number of open windows for years, but the progress is much slower than she would like and she seems to have plateaued for the time being.
- Sleep. Sybil tends not to sleep more than four hours at a time, as she tends to start to lose her windows if she’s unconscious for longer than that. She cannot observe while she is sleeping, so she tends to arrange her naps around her opportunities for spying. She is also more likely to lose windows if she hasn’t actively paid attention to them in some time, and if she has too many open.
- Spying Through Other Metahumans. Sybil can usually spy through someone without them being aware, this is often not the case for those with powers of their own, or even a regular human who is particularly in tune with their body. Sybil’s presence is generally felt as a slight twinge where the optic nerve connects to the eyeball, and a heaviness in the occipital lobe. These are not painful sensations and are usually very faint, but someone expecting them could notice when they appear. Sybil has been forced out of someone’s vision on occasion, usually only by someone with mental-based powers of their own. Much to her annoyance and frustration.
- Alterations to an image of an eye. If Sybil is spying through a photo and someone uses a pair of scissors to cut through the eye she is using on that photo, she would seize up and cry out in pain, and lose that window. Same if someone took a knife to a human or animal eye she was using. The eye must actually be damaged, and not just covered, in order to cause pain- Using black paint to conceal the eyes on a photo does render them useless to Sybil, but doesn’t hurt her. Sybil experiences the same level of pain regardless if she is actively using that view or not.

She must be doing something well.
Assorted skills:
- Sybil is ambidextrous, as she never wants to be unable to record what she sees because she is unable to use a hand. She would love to be able to write different things with either hand concurrently, but right now is only able to simultaneously write simple things, like the alphabet.
- Sybil is a pretty decent artist. She is better at layouts and schematics than people, but her portraits are... Recognizable. If not always flattering.
- Sybil can lip read in English… To an extent. Less than 50% of a conversation can be understood through lipreading alone, and that drops off further if Sybil doesn’t have a context with which to make educated guess. To say nothing of accents, or people who rush their words. And it isn’t like people who meet up to share clandestine information tend to sit in a circle with their mouths clearly in view.
- Sybil has excellent spatial awareness, as she prefers to use multiple viewpoints to construct each ‘scene’ she is observing and has been doing so most of her life.
- Sybil is a decent fighter- If fighting an average person. Her spatial awareness gives her good insight on the reach of someone’s fist, and she uses her ability to ‘cheat’ when fighting by observing herself through her opponent’s eyes and using the half second between when they look where they are going to punch and when they would land the punch to avoid it. Usually she uses her ‘advantage’ to give her time to escape- She likes to think ‘getting away with minimal injury’ is its own sort of win.
Equipment:
- Guide Cane. Sybil is legally blind, and while she denies it... She does kinda need the cane. This girl does not pay attention to what's in front of her. Also, hers is telescopic and made of steel, which she has used against kneecaps on a few occasions
- Notebooks, pens and pencils. Sybil is constantly sketching and writing down what she sees, though this is more habit at this point. For important things, she generally uses a secure app she and Oracle designed for voice memos.
- League level tech equipment. (Once with H.O.T.) Is she excited about this? Yes. Will she admit it? No.
Strengths: Able to multitask and split her focus well | Good with technology, trained to deal with hardware and software issues that might come up during hero-ing
Weaknesses: Any situation in which she has to rely on others | See above for a practical guide to limits/weaknesses of Sybil's X-gene power | People knowing how her power works and thus being able to circumvent it (which is why she has never told anyone how her power works, but Oracle has maybe been able to put a lot of it together)
Asking Sybil about her past isn't a wise idea- Depending on her mood, it might significantly sour her opinion of you. It certainly won't get you answers. Either silence, or grandiose lies.
But if someone had the resources- someone like Barbara Gordon, perhaps- they could do some investigation. Half a year or so before Sybil began advertising her information and surveillance services under the alias 'Oracle' (which is how Sybil's activities showed up on Barbara's radar in the first place) a gang in Los Angeles called the Syndicate was taking down through the combined efforts of local law enforcement and area heroes.
'Mister X' and several of his associates were killed, and others were brought in to face questioning and serve justice. Between the bodies and the prisoners, almost all the gang's notable members were accounted for. The exception was the girl- Young, with dark hair and dark sunglasses, seen in photos at Mister X's side over the course of the last few years.
The loyalty Mr. X inspired in his ‘employees’ meant that very few gave up any information about him or the organization. But a fellow by the name of Jacobs was a bit more loose-lipped. Someone with the resources to gain the classified transcripts from his interrogation might find he said some interesting things about the ‘creepy little brat’.
No, he didn’t know her origins for sure. Mr. X referred to her as his daughter, but they certainly didn’t look related. Jacobs said she’d started living with Mr. X about seven years ago, after the mess with the 32nd Sect of the Church of the Retribution. Bunch of extremist cultists living out in the desert who’d taken the whole 'Church of the Retribution' thing too far and gotten obsessed with curing humanity of 'unnatural' abilities. Nutso-cuckoo, the lot of them, according to Jacobs. They moved some good product, though. But they’d tried to go against Mister X, see, and he’d burned the compound to the ground and took over the operation.
Jacobs was sure that was where the girl had come from, from those cultists out in the desert- She was a right weirdo, and she had some sort of powers, he was certain. With technology or cameras, he figured, which was how Mister X always seemed to know so much. Jacobs was willing to talk, he told them. In exchange for certain favors.
Jacobs never learned if those favors might have been secured for him, and the investigators never learned what else he might have to say. He was found dead in his cell the next day.
This at least, is what Barbara Gordon was able to infer after her extensive research. But that was three years ago, and thanks to Barbara Gordon, similar research can no longer be done. The information is gone.
Instead, 'Sybil Williams' exists. Daughter to a pair of perfectly unremarkable California residents. Unremarkable student, unremarkable life. Only survivor of the car crash that killed her parents when she was 18. The records are all falsified of course, but Oracle is good at her job. Sybil Williams has a birth certificate and a medical history and a bank account and even middle school grades.
That favor- and the agreement that Sybil no longer use the alias 'Oracle'- was the basis of their working relationship and it's grown to something like mutual trust. But that may not be enough for Sybil to thrive in Oracle's world of heroes and heroics.

Roleplayer
I'm bad/lazy with code so here goes.
Basics —
Name: Michael Masters
Nickname: Wonderboy
Code Name: Archangel (sometimes Michael the Archangel to prevent confusion with other Archangels)
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Visage —
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Gray
Build: Muscular, ripped, absolutely shredded
Scars: Back
Persona —
Moral Alignment: Lawful Good
Virtues: Brave, independent, capable, religious, philosophical, confident
Vices: Selfish, inconsiderate, proud, religious, callous, haughty
Motivations: To succeed Superman as arguably the greatest hero that ever lived.
Personality:
Michael seems to be a generally warm and well-intentioned, if inconsiderate or at the very least highly self-centered individual. While religious or at the very least keenly aware of the part religion plays into his superhero identity he considers himself progressive. Philosophy also plays a key role in his personality. Be it an intellectual streak or lack of other recreational hobbies in the environment he was brought up in, Michael has a habit of sitting in quiet and often times isolated contemplation. When one is so pre-occupied with the bigger picture it is little surprise that some of the "small details" can sometimes end up slipping through the cracks. As a direct result he seems more than comfortable making sacrifices in the name of the "greater good", whatever he may interpret that to be. Despite his confidence, he does not enjoy being questioned nor explaining himself, especially when under pressure or otherwise straining circumstances.
Biography —
Abilities: Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Durability, Angelic Force Manipulation (Golden Eye Beams, other unexplored applications?)
Equipment: None
Strengths: Powerful, capable, calm under pressure
Weaknesses: Sudden flashes of light, heights, flying
Hero Suit: Black, gold and white with wing designs
History:
Michael's early years are a bit of a blur. He remembers very little. Lots of light though, white floors, white ceilings, white walls and lots of bright lights. Some time after he was discovered in a crater in the middle of the Antarctic by none other than Superman who was understandably curious about the incident given his own arrival on Earth. Years of research by the League is said to have followed conducted primarily by the more scientifically inclined bunch of the group. Said research is also said to have been thrown out the window upon Michael's first chance encounter with John Constantine who dryly announced: "Yeah, that's an angel alright.". Despite Constantine's expertise on the subject few thought he'd make a good father figure for the boy and so it was decided that Superman would act as a primary mentor to him given the pair's similarities in terms of powers, this also fast-tracked him into a position as one of the Heroes of Tomorrow. Religion has played a key part in his upbringing for better or for worse. The identity of Archangel was attached to him primarily by the media and religious crowds due to his otherwise unexplained origin.

History:
Michael's early years are a bit of a blur. He remembers very little. Lots of light though, white floors, white ceilings, white walls and lots of bright lights. Some time after he was discovered in a crater in the middle of the Antarctic by none other than Superman who was understandably curious about the incident given his own arrival on Earth. Years of research by the League is said to have followed conducted primarily by the more scientifically inclined bunch of the group. Said research is also said to have been thrown out the window upon Michael's first chance encounter with John Constantine who dryly announced: "Yeah, that's an angel alright.". Despite Constantine's expertise on the subject few thought he'd make a good father figure for the boy and so it was decided that Superman would act as a primary mentor to him given the pair's similarities in terms of powers, this also fast-tracked him into a position as one of the Heroes of Tomorrow. Religion has played a key part in his upbringing for better or for worse. The identity of Archangel was attached to him primarily by the media and religious crowds due to his otherwise unexplained origin.
