Speaking of. I finished up a second character. I think this is my final draft before it gets looked at by whoever 
Helios
Name: Marcus “Val” Valentine
Gender: Masculine
Age: 47
Power: Sun Warrior
Rank: A rank
Limiter: Level 4
Appearance
Race
American/Mixed Hispanic
Hair
Auburn
Eyes
Light blue
Height
6’3”
Figure
A solidly Olympian looking man. 230lb of muscle
Notes
A single healed bullet wound through his left shoulder.
Personality
Rockstar
Val absolutely drips charisma. If you looked the word up in the dictionary, his portrait would be smiling back at you. Not unexpected for a man with his own line of toys, merch, and who makes regular late-night talk-show appearances around the globe.
Undeterred
Nothing can stop Val from facing down any troubles that find themselves in his sights. If it’s something he can solve, he’ll stop at nothing to make it right. No matter how tough the situation, how complex the circumstances, Marcus will put himself to work.
Principled
Val sticks by his values through any situation, he believes they’re what keeps him him. Working as such a public hero, his morals and values need to be strong so he can set a good example for those that look up to him, and those he inspires.
Flashy
Despite being as “heroic” as he is, Marcus is not everyone’s cup of tea. He’s bombastic, flashy full-on, and can be particularly loud when he’s working. It could be said that he’s doing it for the attention, to keep himself relevant and in the public eye, or to keep the sales of his merch flowing, but Marcus believes it adds to the inspiration he puts out, to light a fire in the hearts of little kids and to show them that heroes can do great things. It's not quite "naming your attacks" bad, but well.. Not many heroes roar words of encouragement at their own enemies with a massive grin on their face while they fight.
Biography
History
The night Marcus' powers kicked in his life would change forever, but he had no memory of it at all. According to eyewitnesses, Marcus stood between a group of troublemakers and a victim of their abuse, a young kid in the wrong place at the wrong time. Marcus pushed the thugs back and urged the kid to run, before he took a few hits to the gut before one of the thugs pulled a gun and shot him in the chest. On impact flames had spiralled across Marcus’ skin, burning his clothes completely to as. The thugs left him there for dead, burning a hole into the concrete where he had collapsed..
He was headhunted by Commonwealth from his hospital bed to take up Blue Card training, a program that had started shortly before Marcus was born, his powers made him the perfect candidate for training. The pay was good, he was able to help his father, and he could help stop scenes like that side street happening ever again.
It’s been decades since then, and Marcus is now one of the most visible heroes in the US, a celebrity in his own right with his own line of merchandise, toys, and even a few christmas albums. He regularly makes appearances around the country, in person and on TV, but his drive has never changed, help those who need help, step into danger to save those who need to be saved, inspire others to do the same, and have a damn good time while doing it. Marcus lives and breathes being a hero.
Relationships
Superpowers
Sun Warrior
As Helios, Marcus becomes an "avatar of the Sun" (according to his toy lines). When his power is activated, Marcus’ skin becomes a burning plasma like substance and his body emits enough heat to ignite the surrounding air, which he can use to project jets of flames from his body. He can focus this power to specific parts of his body, which can be as precise as a single fingertip for more delicate tasks, or to give himself more utility such as propelled flight by focusing on his feet and legs. he can project flame up to 200 feet or so from his body, but they decrease in intensity the further they are from his body. Alternatively he can increase their intensity at close range to vaporise incoming attacks before they have a chance to hit him.
Fire Immunity: Marcus is entirely immune to fire and the effects of extreme heat. He’d have to be given the intensity of the flames he can put out. This keeps him alive during combat and allows him to survive in environments that would outright kill most people.
Flame Manipulation: With conscious thought, Marcus can control the intensity and the properties of the flames he produces, and to an extent, these flames can be directed, quelled, and focused into smaller areas or blasts. This stops him setting the entire city ablaze as he fights.
Limitations
Feeding the Flames: Marcus’s flames still require oxygen to burn, and Marcus still needs it to breathe, and as such they can’t be used freely indoors or in enclosed spaces without a danger of suffocation. This keeps him from fighting indoors for any length of time unless he dials his powers back and takes note of his surroundings until he’s in open air again. It also means a solid hit from a decent firefighting foam or being smothered in sand will probably put him out unless he's able to put out enough heat to combat it… Not an easy thing to do while maintaining control and moderation.
Water is Wet: Marcus can resist water attacks for a while, but not for too long. He can survive for a while by vaporising it into steam, but he'd have to divert all his attention to doing so. It's much more economical to just avoid it all together if he can.
Not Mine, Sorry: Marcus has no power over fire that he himself has not produced. This unfortunately means he cannot stop a fiery disaster from occurring, even if he himself would survive.
Flammable… Inflammable?: While Marcus can control his flames, if they were to contact a volatile fuel source it would still set alight. The resulting flames would be under Marcus’ control, but the concentration and effort it would take to focus, quell or redirect them would completely remove him from the fight until they were under control. Marcus therefore has to constantly be aware of his surroundings and focus some of his mind into constantly putting out fire more than a certain distance from himself depending on the situation. Without this conscious thought, he’d burn a city down in no time.

Relationships
- Diego Valentine
Marcus’ father. 68, retired, and lives a quiet life down by the coast. He adores his son, even more so after everything Marcus has done for him. A recovering alcoholic, he spends his days playing chess and fishing with the “gangsters” as he calls them, a dozen or so old guys who run the local marina. - Desmond Romero
Fellow Hero. Marcus has worked with him a few times, and thinks he’s a good guy, maybe a bit reserved, but that’s not a bad thing. He does good work in Marcus’ eyes.

Other Abilities
Skills
- Boxing (modified): It was something his father thought would do him good, and something Marcus tried to keep up through his youth. Since becoming a Supe he’s had more time available to hone his boxing skills through hero training, even managing to work in some leg strikes and throws through tips and training with other supers.
- Public Living: Marcus is frequently invited onto talk-shows, gilled by the host, asked about various parts of his life and his ongoing projects, or appearing on news interviews after a public battle. Through this he has gotten very good at speaking publicly and keeping privacy in the face of public scrutiny.
- Baking: He’s not the best baker, but he does find it relaxing. If you’re around when he’s baking, he’ll always offer you a cookie or cake of some kind.
- Guitar: Marcus is solidly mediocre at it, but he has a lot of fun playing his electric guitar along to his favourite songs.
- Singing: You know… He's not bad. He's definitely not going to win any awards though, those christmas albums were terrible, he struggled to keep a straight face recording them.
Loadout
- Fireproof costume: His hero costume consists of a fireproof ceramic weave that allows his flames to pass over through the fabric without setting alight. It consists of a re enforced body suit that covers his torso, legs, and shoulders, leaving his arms and head bare, a belt with a couple of pouches, and a pair of heavy-duty boots. It's main colours are orange and red, with black and yellow accents running across the chest and shoulders.
- Fireproof blankets: In the pouches on his belt, Marcus keeps a handful of compact fireproof foil blankets. These can be used to keep civilians safe if needed, and protect those he needs to carry out of danger from accidental burns, but it’s not always necessary.
- Communicator: Marcus keeps a modified communicator in one of his pouches. It’s fireproof and comes with a wireless ear piece that fits snugly into his ear canal for use hands free. How convenient!
