Realistic or Modern Shattered GLASS - Character Sign-up

[FireMaiden]

Name: Anthony Hall

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Anthony is what you could consider an decently attractive man. He stands at 6'4, with a toned figure and strong facial features. He always dressed rather nice as well, casual suits and such.

Personality: Anthony is...how should I put this? He's a sadistic sociopath who no regard for human life what so ever. Where others in his situation may have their reasons for causing mayhem, hurting innocents, and killing in cold blood; he has none. While one of more merciful members of ARK, he isn't well know for it. He enjoys causing pain to others, and while maybe not killing them, the mental and physical strain he can put on someone can be considered inhumane. Not to mention he likes the power that comes with it, and the feeling of utter dominance.

Power: Mind Control: While an extremely powerful ppwer, Anthony's form of mind control is very limited. He has to wither be touching or have unbroken eye contact with his target for at least 10 seconds, and then must remain in sight of them, and within 15 feet for it to continue to work. Though he can have then do just about anything. There is only one exception to these rules however, yet she doesn't talk to him anymore. (I'm also gonna ask before he mind controls someone other than NPCs and my other character of course.)

Weaknesses:

• Other people with mental abbilites such as telekentics, telepaths, and those with stubborn or strong minds can cause him a bit of trouble when it comes to mind control. They posses either an extra brainwave, or can resist his power for some time
• His power can't exactly be used in the heat of battle, making it almost completely useless in situations like that, forcing him to rely on his comrades and other skills
• He always seems to under estimate women, which can lead to major ass kicking if he's not careful

Affiliation: ARK

Background: (There's some pretty dark stuff btw. Also, some more Delilah Backstory)
Anthony, in his oppion, has had the perfect life. It started with a wealthy family, a successful academic career, and not to mention the girls that three themselves at him. Plus, he discovered his powers at quiet a young age, which only made it better. He also discovered what fun it was to use it to hurt people. Especially the girls. He found it elateing to watch them do what he told them to, no matter what it was. Yet he was pulled away from that life when he joined the military as a sniper. He severed for a few years, and while there, met and grew fond of a certain woman. Miss Delilah Harolds. While there were rumors about her strength, he always doubted that because of the way she acted around him. She was completely in love with him. While he couldn't give a literal fuck about her. He just wanted a toy, and she was the perfect subject. Small, weak, naive; this would be so much fun. About three years ago, their children were born. Olivia and Miles, bubbly baby twins. She had be promoted to Commander, and all was well. They lived comfortably now that he was out of the military and running a successful business. It only can crashing down when Delilah was sent home. And Honorable discharge, earning her the title of a war hero. This pissed Anthony off beyond belief. He couldn't stand her anymore, and just because he could, started to use her again. At first it was just to get her to do small things for him, before he started to practice with her. And once there was no more fun in that, he moved on the their three years old children. About a month ago, he managed to kill them. An accident as he claimed, but was it really? He had made two babies go brain dead, and then dissappered. As of now, he's become a member of ARK, and kept an unhealthy watch on his former partner. Seeing as how he's the only he has managed to control with either touching or eye contact.

Other:

• Anthony is a trained military sniper and proficient in other firearms, as well as g and to hand combat seeing as how his power isn't useful in battle

[WhipDing]

Name: Lisa Fleming

Age: 32

Gender: Female

Appearance: Standing at an impressive 6'2, Lisa is pretty well-built and visibly bulky. Her facial features are quite sharp, to the point of appearing almost menacing at a glance, something that is not helped by her short, bright red hair and piercing green eyes.

Personality: Appearing cold and calculating to most people, Lisa actually cares a great deal about other people, especially the community in Hale. However, this isn't usually in the form of reassuring language or tender loving care. Instead, she tries to find the best possible outcome for the last number of people, hence her logical façade.

Power: None

Weaknesses: Her logical mind, while a great asset most of the time, can also be her greatest weakness. If something is presented to her in a 'clear' and logical fashion, she may be tempted to pick it over a less thought-out option - even if it isn't necessary the right thing to do.

Affiliation: GLASS - Sub-commander (Head of Recruitment)

Background: From a young age, Lisa was acutely aware of the discrimination and hatred that surrounded the superhuman minority in Hale, despite not being a part of it herself. This bothered her growing up, and as such was constantly on the lookout for a potential solution.

ARK, at first, appeared to be such a solution. An independent organisation, that sought to bring 'freedom' to superhumans, and 'empower' them to do what they should be able to do. Lisa saw what she wanted to see, and she signed up to help bring equality back to Hale, although a normal person joining ARK was something that was, and still is, unprecedented. Of course... it didn't take long for it reveal what it really was. A group of criminals and businessmen, with equality being the farthest thing from their minds.

Even so, she remained in the organisation for a couple of years, perhaps in the vain hope that she could one day utilize the great power they had over the city for good, by taking control herself. This eventually proved infeasible, a rebellion led by her ending in a catastrophic slaughter. Although she regrets the lives lost... she continues to defend the decision to this day.

Since then, she was selected by the Commander himself to lead recruitment in GLASS. The reasoning being that, despite her lack of military knowledge, she understood what kind of people and powers it would take to counter ARK, considering her extensive experience in both. Although she appreciates the position, she is often frustrated by the decisions made by the Commader and the other Sub-commanders - she feels that, if they were to expand theiur moral compasses a little, this whole problem could be sorted a lot quicker, albeit at a fair sacrifice. But of course... success always comes at a price.

Other: She is blind in her left eye, a scar running over it and onto her nose, of which a chunk is missing.

[Raku]

Name : Jaxson Black
Alias/Nickname : Shadowman or just Shadow
Gender : Male
Age : 24
Appearance : Jaxson stands 6 foot flat and weighs about 185 pounds. He has a relatively thin build, but he's still athletic. His hair is a dark brown color and is always put into the same fashion as the picture. The most odd parts of his appearance are his eyes and teeth. His eyes are a deep grey almost black color. His canines developed in a way that pushed them forward slightly and are a bit bigger than a normal person's. One way to describe his common apparel is business casual. He likes to wear professional clothing like vests, but he also has a trench coat for reason that will be explained below. He does like to wear a fedora from time to time or maybe just a ball cap. Another thing you may see on him from time to time is a bandana and a pair of gloves, again for reasons that will be explained below.
Height : 6'
Weight : 185 Lbs
Blood Type : O+

Affiliation : ARK
Rank In Affiliation : N/A
Likes : The shade, darkness, nighttime, operating, using his powers to play with people
Dislikes: Sunlight, bright lights, doing nothing
Quirks : Has a tendency to crack his knuckles before doing something.
Fears/Phobias : Jaxson isn't afraid of many things, but a big one would have to be deep bodies of water.

Personality : Jaxson is a man that loves to mess with people. He likes jokes and pranks as he is a big prankster. He is energetic and adventurous and always enjoys a good time. One of the few things he takes seriously is operating. Even though it may not seem like it on the outside, inside his mind is going through scenarios of what could happen and what he can do to solve the problem. He is defensive and loyal in regards to friends and companions. Something else he likes to do is act a little creepy. Making people feel uneasy is something he enjoys doing, but he's just joking with them.

Strengths : Close quarters combat, reconnaissance, causes chaos among enemies

Weaknesses : Bright lights, powers only work in the shade and dark, low physical strength

Power : The shadows are his toy to play with. A basic rundown of Jaxson's power is that he controls the dark. Some prime examples are teleportation through the shade and dark. He can manifest beings out of the shadows, as in he can make a wolf or a tiger or something else out of a shadow. These don't have any color other than piercing red eyes and a black silhouette of said being. Another common one is he can alter his appearance in the shadows. As in he can create illusions to make him not look like, well, him. The one that no one really knows about is his ability to see in the dark.

Mastery of Power : Decent, he's been practicing for some time now.

Skills : Jaxson has actually received some martial arts training and uses this to his advantage when in his "domain". In this MA training he learned how to use several weapons as well.

Limits : His teleportation range is almost limitless, but the place he wants to teleport to must be connected to his current area by another shadow. This could be a persons shadow, a tree shadow, a light post shadow, as long as it connects to where he wants to go its good. In regards to his manifestation abilities, depending on the size, number, and duration of the manifested being, Jaxson's stamina depletes.

Weaknesses : The light is his enemy. Bright lights such as sunlight, bright flashlights, and just light in general harms him in some way. The brighter the light, the more damage. Just like how vampires' skin burns when it comes into contact with sunshine.

Backstory : Jaxson is not a Hale native. He actually comes from New York City. Jaxson was seen as the child prodigy of a high standing police officer in the NYPD. He excelled in school. He showed much more heart than anyone else in the MA classes his father put him in. At around 16 he challenged his father. Needless to say, Jaxson put up a great fight. His mother and father were astonished by him. Up until graduation, he continued to amaze them. However, once he graduated school they were thrown into disappointment when he told them he was going to Hale, the city of superpowers. Against their word, he left by the age of 18.

Not so long after arrival, Jaxson gained his powers. Lets just say it changed his life a lot more than he wanted. He quickly discovered that his powers restricted him to the shadows and that lights were now going to be a problem. The vices of his new abilities were definitely going to prove to be problematic, but he was going to make the best of it. Using the skills from the fighting classes, he began to tie in his abilities. They proved to be effective against the test dummies he set up around the apartment. Over the course of a few years he got better and better. Eventually, around 20 years old, he took it to the streets for some real testing. After a few "subjects" he really saw how deadly he could be with his new found strength, unfortunately it confines him to the shadows though.

It took Jaxson about another year to really take ARK in consideration. Part of him felt like he was given this power to help, and that's how he saw ARK's works. Of course he was going to join, but he gave himself another month's worth of training before actually joining up with them. He's been serving them for about 3 years now and he's done his fair share of work in the streets.

Extra : The backstory is a little rough due to the fact I was dealing with a writing block while typing it.

 

[Deucalion]

"Ooooooooaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"​

Name: Robin Harlaw
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Affiliation: GLASS
Rank In Affiliation: V-Rank

Personality: Robin is a sarcastic, nasty son of a bitch. Grown up in the school of hard knocks, the guy enjoys violence and has an almost unhealthy fascination with weapons. Always the first to start a fight, he is practically the king of hurtful comments, sarcastic quips and sneering replies. He gets under people's skin, it's just part of who he is. Some would say that it is to start fights and he would probably agree with you. He likes fights, he enjoys confrontation. Getting into people's face is almost catharthic to him. Some would say that he is just being an asshole. though he prefers to think of it as "testing" people. If they're getting worked up because he's bored and starts poking some fun, hey, maybe they should be the ones taking themselves less seriously?

In a similar vein, Robin himself does not have many sore points and he has quite a bit of hindsight. He very much so has the talent of laughing at himself, making him hard to insult, but also possible to get along with. His sense of humor is scathing and one should expect to grow thick skin or get out in his company, but he is capable of taking just as much as he deals out. For all his faults, he is hardly a hypocrite.

Harder to excuse is his reason for joining the military in the first place. Robin enjoys hurting other people. It's really that simple. It's a matter of power, honestly. Lacking power in his youth, Robin enjoys exercising control and power over others. This takes the form of sadistic tendencies and he has partaken in some horrible deeds in the past to satisfy these urges of his. Still, this makes him an avid "interrogator" and during his time with Ares International he picked quite a few talents that GLASS could use in desperate times. Nobody would really be happy about it, though.

Power: Tar Physiology; Robin is capable of transforming parts of or his whole body into a black, putrid tar-like substance. This chunky yet oily semi-liquid carries a pungent rot-like odor and flows slowly. Still, being able to turn into a shapeless slime does have its advantages. For one, in this form he is, as advertised, shapeless, and can easily slip through any crack or hole that would otherwise be far too narrow for a human being to push through. Furthermore, he can manipulate the shape of this tar freely, letting him create tendrils or other appendages out of it for combat purposes. The substance is also naturally adhesive, as if it was not already repulsive enough, meaning he can climb walls, cling to ceilings and similar feats simply by transforming parts of his body and sticking to any surface. Finally, as a liquid, most weapons and physical blows will simply spread the tar out, meaning that it can gather back up and reform. As such, as long as he transforms before suffering a wound, Robin can very effectively negate most injuries. Even an explosion (provided it was not incindiary, see below) would only scatter his tar-form around to gather back up, not causing any real damage.

Mastery of Power: Fairly well-mastered. He knows how to transform parts of his body or the entirety of it and he can skillfully control the shape of his tar form. The thing he still has to work on is his reflexes, as he could become a force to be reckoned with indeed if he learned to transform on a moment's notice. Right now, he still needs a second or two to concentrate. These couple of seconds can easily prove fatal in combat.
Skills:

Limits: Robin cannot produce more or less of the tar that he transforms into, it is a strict one for one translation in mass. Furthermore, even though he can separate parts of it from himself and still move it independently, he can only control his own substance, not any other tar or similar liquid. Furthermore, he cannot actually heal by reshaping himself. If he suffers a wound and transforms into tar, that wound will still be there when he turns back. That said, he could potentially prevent bleeding out by transforming into his tar form.

Weaknesses: Though not with any noteworthy weaknesses while in human form, Robin's tar is highly flammable and fire is one of the few things that can seriously harm him as that substance, burns that carry over to his flesh and blood body when he turns back. Setting him on fire while in his tar form is a very easy way to kill Robin, if he is not able to turn back.

Skills

• Military Experience: Though considered unfit for service, Robin did go through boot camp with exemplary results. Beyond that, his time working with Ares International has given him quite a bit of practical experience of war, not to mention the nastier sides of guerilla warfare. He is well above physically fit overall, is extremely knowledgable in gun and weapon care out of training and personal interest and has plenty of practical experience regarding battlefield stealth and silent takedowns. Then, of course, there's the less savoury things he learned with Ares...

• Torturer: Yyyyeah, there is really no getting around it. Robin has a knack for causing pain. He even seems to like doing so, and is ever inventine with new ways to cause said pain. He is an avid... "Interrogator", let's say, and his time in the third world taught him plenty about breaking down others without killing them.

Backstory: Growing up, Robin was an orphan. As far as he is concerned, he had always been an orphan. Born as the result of an unwanted pregnancy from a teen mother, he was left up for adoption from birth. Unfortunately, for the majority of his youth, adoptive parents never came. Instead, he grew up as a rowdy, hot-tempered and ill-behaved child in an orphanage not far from Hale. Frequently letting his temper get the better of him and getting into fights with other children, it was clear that Robin was in need of some kind of behavioural councelling, but an underpaid, understaffed orphanage was simply not the place to give him the attention or care that he really needed. As such, it came to no surprise than when he finally did get adopted by a Mr. and Mrs. Harlaw at the age of fifteen, he was an ill fit in a normal family. With more skipped school days than attended ones, Robin was barely literate and was instead placed in a foster home only six months after his adoption after violently lashing out towards Mrs. Harlaw, his adoptive mother. From then on, for two solid years, he bounced between different foster homes without ever finding a real place for himself.

Always with a fascination for firearms, knives and violence, not to mention military movies and violent video games, Robin chose to enlist as soon as he was able at the age of seventeen. Still, his hopes of actually joining the US army were dashed when he was psychologically evaluated and deemed unfit for service after boot camp, leaving him without any real direction once more. For another year, with the experience of boot camp behind him, he did various odd jobs while figuring himself out. His calling soon came in the form of Ares International Security, a Private Military Company that he happened to come across by sheer luck while browsing the internet. This time, his application was met by approval from the contractors needing every capable set of arms that they could and it did not take long before he was sent to Nigeria to partake in the battle against the Boko Haram. From there, Ares International continued to lend their aid to different contractors, primarily in various parts of Africa. It was during this three-year period that Robin discovered both his fascination for torture and his powers, his legs suddenly exploding into a mess of black tar instead of red mist when struck by a stray rocket. With this power in mind, it did not take long before he was transferred back to the USA, now to take part in a cooperative program between Ares International and a young and very desperate GLASS. They needed soldiers, Ares was ready to provide for a modest sum. Robin was the first volunteer, which sent him back to his old birth city of Hale.

He could not wait to see what the city had in store for him now.

 

[Doctor Nope]

Name:
Lorenze Clearwater

Age:
27

Gender:
Male (Identifies as toaster)

Appearance:

Personality:
Lorenzo comes off as gentleman-like and extremely friendly, providing constant encouragement to "allies" (hue). He does have his own agenda, however. He is of the opinion that superhumans are superior to normal people and that they should be the ones at the top of the food-chain, the ones calling the shots. He doesn't openly make this clear, obviously. By secretly working with ARK, he believes that eventually he can create an orderly society run by superhumans.

Power:
Hakai-Ergokinesis
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Destructive_Energy_Manipulation
In this case it's a bit like telekinesis, but can only cause destruction. Although, it is very good at what it does.

Weaknesses:
Other "kinetic" abilities- This version of the power has aspects that can be transferred over to certain other abilities such as telekinesis. Something like telekinesis will be able to counter Hakai-Ergokinesis if done correctly such as pushing back against each other's shockwaves.
Hand-to-hand combat- To be honest, his hand-to-hand skills....kinda suck. It's not too hard to beat him like this.

Affiliation:
GLASS, X-rank. (Double-agent working with ARK)

Background:
Before "joining" GLASS, he was trained by telepaths on how to avoid his true allegiance being detected during his time as a double-agent. He is an extremely good actor, and uses constant subliminals against GLASS's known telepath to avoid having his thoughts intruded on. It also helps that he has learnt how to control his thoughts so as to not allow them to betray him.
He also has a great knack for engineering and physics, with him making advanced weaponry in his down time. He provides GLASS with these when he feels like it so that they trust him more. He has never been suspected by GLASS since joining, and it's unlikely that they'll suspect him any time soon.

This could be a persons shadow, a tree shadow, a light post shadow, as long as it connects to where he wants to go its good. In regards to his manifestation abilities, depending on the size, number, and duration of the manifested being, Jaxson's stamina depletes.

Weaknesses : The light is his enemy. Bright lights such as sunlight, bright flashlights, and just light in general harms him in some way. The brighter the light, the more damage. Just like how vampires' skin burns when it comes into contact with sunshine.

Backstory : Jaxson is not a Hale native. He actually comes from New York City. Jaxson was seen as the child prodigy of a high standing police officer in the NYPD. Fortunately and unfortunately, he had a blessing and a curse. His childhood was heavily effected by this. His father was determined to make the most of this ability. His mother wasn't feeling the same. She saw her son as a freak, a disappointment. This lead to Jaxson's father divorcing her. This happened when he was around 6. Recovering this event, he skyrocketed in school. He showed much more heart in the MA classes his father put him in. He started to tie in his powers along with his training. At one point he challenged his father. Needless to say, Jaxson won that fight. Upon graduation, he said goodbye to NYC and hello to Hale, the city of superpowers.

He lived there for a year or so before taking real interest in ARK. He took on his business casual apparel and began to make himself known. Sticking to the shadows for obvious reasons, he became known as the Shadowman, or just to shorten that, Shadow. Using his powers not only to take down his targets, but also to scare them into confession if need be.
Extra : The backstory is a little rough due to the fact I was dealing with a writing block while typing it.

​

Okay for the most part, but powers are strictly linked to the city of Hale, and only have began appearing publicly in the last 10-15 years. i.e. Your character can't have developed powers outside of living in Hale, unless they visited it at some point.

"Ooooooooaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"​

Name: Robin Harlaw
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Affiliation: GLASS
Rank In Affiliation: V-Rank

Personality: Robin is a sarcastic, nasty son of a bitch. Grown up in the school of hard knocks, the guy enjoys violence and has an almost unhealthy fascination with weapons. Always the first to start a fight, he is practically the king of hurtful comments, sarcastic quips and sneering replies. He gets under people's skin, it's just part of who he is. Some would say that it is to start fights and he would probably agree with you. He likes fights, he enjoys confrontation. Getting into people's face is almost catharthic to him. Some would say that he is just being an asshole. though he prefers to think of it as "testing" people. If they're getting worked up because he's bored and starts poking some fun, hey, maybe they should be the ones taking themselves less seriously?

In a similar vein, Robin himself does not have many sore points and he has quite a bit of hindsight. He very much so has the talent of laughing at himself, making him hard to insult, but also possible to get along with. His sense of humor is scathing and one should expect to grow thick skin or get out in his company, but he is capable of taking just as much as he deals out. For all his faults, he is hardly a hypocrite.

Harder to excuse is his reason for joining the military in the first place. Robin enjoys hurting other people. It's really that simple. It's a matter of power, honestly. Lacking power in his youth, Robin enjoys exercising control and power over others. This takes the form of sadistic tendencies and he has partaken in some horrible deeds in the past to satisfy these urges of his. Still, this makes him an avid "interrogator" and during his time with Ares International he picked quite a few talents that GLASS could use in desperate times. Nobody would really be happy about it, though.

Power: Tar Physiology; Robin is capable of transforming parts of or his whole body into a black, putrid tar-like substance. This chunky yet oily semi-liquid carries a pungent rot-like odor and flows slowly. Still, being able to turn into a shapeless slime does have its advantages. For one, in this form he is, as advertised, shapeless, and can easily slip through any crack or hole that would otherwise be far too narrow for a human being to push through. Furthermore, he can manipulate the shape of this tar freely, letting him create tendrils or other appendages out of it for combat purposes. The substance is also naturally adhesive, as if it was not already repulsive enough, meaning he can climb walls, cling to ceilings and similar feats simply by transforming parts of his body and sticking to any surface. Finally, as a liquid, most weapons and physical blows will simply spread the tar out, meaning that it can gather back up and reform. As such, as long as he transforms before suffering a wound, Robin can very effectively negate most injuries. Even an explosion (provided it was not incindiary, see below) would only scatter his tar-form around to gather back up, not causing any real damage.

Mastery of Power: Fairly well-mastered. He knows how to transform parts of his body or the entirety of it and he can skillfully control the shape of his tar form. The thing he still has to work on is his reflexes, as he could become a force to be reckoned with indeed if he learned to transform on a moment's notice. Right now, he still needs a second or two to concentrate. These couple of seconds can easily prove fatal in combat.
Skills:

Limits: Robin cannot produce more or less of the tar that he transforms into, it is a strict one for one translation in mass. Furthermore, even though he can separate parts of it from himself and still move it independently, he can only control his own substance, not any other tar or similar liquid. Furthermore, he cannot actually heal by reshaping himself. If he suffers a wound and transforms into tar, that wound will still be there when he turns back. That said, he could potentially prevent bleeding out by transforming into his tar form.

Weaknesses: Though not with any noteworthy weaknesses while in human form, Robin's tar is highly flammable and fire is one of the few things that can seriously harm him as that substance, burns that carry over to his flesh and blood body when he turns back. Setting him on fire while in his tar form is a very easy way to kill Robin, if he is not able to turn back.

Skills

• Military Experience: Though considered unfit for service, Robin did go through boot camp with exemplary results. Beyond that, his time working with Ares International has given him quite a bit of practical experience of war, not to mention the nastier sides of guerilla warfare. He is well above physically fit overall, is extremely knowledgable in gun and weapon care out of training and personal interest and has plenty of practical experience regarding battlefield stealth and silent takedowns. Then, of course, there's the less savoury things he learned with Ares...

• Torturer: Yyyyeah, there is really no getting around it. Robin has a knack for causing pain. He even seems to like doing so, and is ever inventine with new ways to cause said pain. He is an avid... "Interrogator", let's say, and his time in the third world taught him plenty about breaking down others without killing them.

Backstory: Growing up, Robin was an orphan. As far as he is concerned, he had always been an orphan. Born as the result of an unwanted pregnancy from a teen mother, he was left up for adoption from birth. Unfortunately, for the majority of his youth, adoptive parents never came. Instead, he grew up as a rowdy, hot-tempered and ill-behaved child in an orphanage not far from Hale. Frequently letting his temper get the better of him and getting into fights with other children, it was clear that Robin was in need of some kind of behavioural councelling, but an underpaid, understaffed orphanage was simply not the place to give him the attention or care that he really needed. As such, it came to no surprise than when he finally did get adopted by a Mr. and Mrs. Harlaw at the age of fifteen, he was an ill fit in a normal family. With more skipped school days than attended ones, Robin was barely literate and was instead placed in a foster home only six months after his adoption after violently lashing out towards Mrs. Harlaw, his adoptive mother. From then on, for two solid years, he bounced between different foster homes without ever finding a real place for himself.

Always with a fascination for firearms, knives and violence, not to mention military movies and violent video games, Robin chose to enlist as soon as he was able at the age of seventeen. Still, his hopes of actually joining the US army were dashed when he was psychologically evaluated and deemed unfit for service after boot camp, leaving him without any real direction once more. For another year, with the experience of boot camp behind him, he did various odd jobs while figuring himself out. His calling soon came in the form of Ares International Security, a Private Military Company that he happened to come across by sheer luck while browsing the internet. This time, his application was met by approval from the contractors needing every capable set of arms that they could and it did not take long before he was sent to Nigeria to partake in the battle against the Boko Haram. From there, Ares International continued to lend their aid to different contractors, primarily in various parts of Africa. It was during this three-year period that Robin discovered both his fascination for torture and his powers, his legs suddenly exploding into a mess of black tar instead of red mist when struck by a stray rocket. With this power in mind, it did not take long before he was transferred back to the USA, now to take part in a cooperative program between Ares International and a young and very desperate GLASS. They needed soldiers, Ares was ready to provide for a modest sum. Robin was the first volunteer, which sent him back to his old birth city of Hale.

He could not wait to see what the city had in store for him now.

Name:
Lorenze Clearwater

Age:
27

Gender:
Male (Identifies as toaster)

Appearance:

Personality:
Lorenzo comes off as gentleman-like and extremely friendly, providing constant encouragement to "allies" (hue). He does have his own agenda, however. He is of the opinion that superhumans are superior to normal people and that they should be the ones at the top of the food-chain, the ones calling the shots. He doesn't openly make this clear, obviously. By secretly working with ARK, he believes that eventually he can create an orderly society run by superhumans.

Power:
Hakai-Ergokinesis
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Destructive_Energy_Manipulation
In this case it's a bit like telekinesis, but can only cause destruction. Although, it is very good at what it does.

Weaknesses:
Other "kinetic" abilities- This version of the power has aspects that can be transferred over to certain other abilities such as telekinesis. Something like telekinesis will be able to counter Hakai-Ergokinesis if done correctly such as pushing back against each other's shockwaves.
Hand-to-hand combat- To be honest, his hand-to-hand skills....kinda suck. It's not too hard to beat him like this.

Affiliation:
GLASS, X-rank. (Double-agent working with ARK)

Background:
Before "joining" GLASS, he was trained by telepaths on how to avoid his true allegiance being detected during his time as a double-agent. He is an extremely good actor, and uses constant subliminals against GLASS's known telepath to avoid having his thoughts intruded on. It also helps that he has learnt how to control his thoughts so as to not allow them to betray him.
He also has a great knack for engineering and physics, with him making advanced weaponry in his down time. He provides GLASS with these when he feels like it so that they trust him more. He has never been suspected by GLASS since joining, and it's unlikely that they'll suspect him any time soon.

Other:
​

WhipDing

Accepted Bear in mind that even with training, a more powerful telepath would be able to figure out he was hiding something, even if they couldn't figure out what... there's no-one that powerful at GLASS though.

Name: Michael "Charon" Loman (NPC)
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Personality: Quiet and reserved, Michael tends not to get involved in direct combat. He rarely speaks to anyone, although don't mistake this for weakness - he is more than capable of getting what he needs.

Height: 5'11
Weight: 145kg
Appearance: He is quite bulky for his size, something he doesn't particularly care for. His face is quite round and flat, with his brown eyes not being particularly distinctive. Although he has brown hair, he usually keeps it shaved right down, to the point of often appearing bald.

Affiliation: ARK
Powers: Long-range teleportation - he has the ability to instantly transport himself to any location he can either see or remember. In theory, he can teleport anywhere, but the risk of ending up inside a solid object is too great to usually warrant this.
Skills: Surprisingly strong.
Weaknesses: Electrical fields can scramble his sense of direction when teleporting - it won't negate the ability, but will cause him to struggle to target specific locations.
Equipment: 9mm handgun, switch-blade.

Other: Charon acts as the physical link to the outside world for the 'Head' of ARK. As such, he transports basic resources to [REDACTED], and on rare occasions, delivers objects to members of ARK on the field.

Height: 5'7
Weight: 68kg
Appearance: His looks betray his youth, appearing much less worked than most GLASS agents. His blue eyes are quite large, and his facial features surprisingly pronounced. He keeps his blond hair fairly long, drooping past his ears.

Affiliation: GLASS (J-rank)
Powers: Telepathy - he possesses the ability to read the minds of a single person at a time. This ability is fairly underdeveloped due to his lack of experience, and as such is quite low-power.
Skills: N/A
Weaknesses: He can quite easily be countered by another telepath, or merely someone who is used to working with telepaths.

Name : Jaxson Black
Alias/Nickname : Shadowman or just Shadow
Gender : Male
Age : 24
Appearance : Jaxson stands 6 foot flat and weighs about 185 pounds. He has a relatively thin build, but he's still athletic. His hair is a dark brown color and is always put into the same fashion as the picture. The most odd parts of his appearance are his eyes and teeth. His eyes are a deep grey almost black color. His canines developed in a way that pushed them forward slightly and are a bit bigger than a normal person's. One way to describe his common apparel is business casual. He likes to wear professional clothing like vests, but he also has a trench coat for reason that will be explained below. He does like to wear a fedora from time to time or maybe just a ball cap. Another thing you may see on him from time to time is a bandana and a pair of gloves, again for reasons that will be explained below.
Height : 6'
Weight : 185 Lbs
Blood Type : O+

Affiliation : ARK
Rank In Affiliation : N/A
Likes : The shade, darkness, nighttime, operating, using his powers to play with people
Dislikes: Sunlight, bright lights, doing nothing
Quirks : Has a tendency to crack his knuckles before doing something.
Fears/Phobias : Jaxson isn't afraid of many things, but a big one would have to be deep bodies of water.

Personality : Jaxson is a man that loves to mess with people. He likes jokes and pranks as he is a big prankster. He is energetic and adventurous and always enjoys a good time. One of the few things he takes seriously is operating. Even though it may not seem like it on the outside, inside his mind is going through scenarios of what could happen and what he can do to solve the problem. He is defensive and loyal in regards to friends and companions. Something else he likes to do is act a little creepy. Making people feel uneasy is something he enjoys doing, but he's just joking with them.

Strengths : Close quarters combat, reconnaissance, causes chaos among enemies

Weaknesses : Bright lights, powers only work in the shade and dark, low physical strength

Power : The shadows are his toy to play with. A basic rundown of Jaxson's power is that he controls the dark. Some prime examples are teleportation through the shade and dark. He can manifest beings out of the shadows, as in he can make a wolf or a tiger or something else out of a shadow. These don't have any color other than piercing red eyes and a black silhouette of said being. Another common one is he can alter his appearance in the shadows. As in he can create illusions to make him not look like, well, him. The one that no one really knows about is his ability to see in the dark.

Mastery of Power : Decent, he's been practicing for some time now.

Skills : Jaxson has actually received some martial arts training and uses this to his advantage when in his "domain". In this MA training he learned how to use several weapons as well.

Limits : His teleportation range is almost limitless, but the place he wants to teleport to must be connected to his current area by another shadow. This could be a persons shadow, a tree shadow, a light post shadow, as long as it connects to where he wants to go its good. In regards to his manifestation abilities, depending on the size, number, and duration of the manifested being, Jaxson's stamina depletes.

Weaknesses : The light is his enemy. Bright lights such as sunlight, bright flashlights, and just light in general harms him in some way. The brighter the light, the more damage. Just like how vampires' skin burns when it comes into contact with sunshine.

Backstory : Jaxson is not a Hale native. He actually comes from New York City. Jaxson was seen as the child prodigy of a high standing police officer in the NYPD. He excelled in school. He showed much more heart than anyone else in the MA classes his father put him in. At around 16 he challenged his father. Needless to say, Jaxson put up a great fight. His mother and father were astonished by him. Up until graduation, he continued to amaze them. However, once he graduated school they were thrown into disappointment when he told them he was going to Hale, the city of superpowers. Against their word, he left by the age of 18.

Not so long after arrival, Jaxson gained his powers. Lets just say it changed his life a lot more than he wanted. He quickly discovered that his powers restricted him to the shadows and that lights were now going to be a problem. The vices of his new abilities were definitely going to prove to be problematic, but he was going to make the best of it. Using the skills from the fighting classes, he began to tie in his abilities. They proved to be effective against the test dummies he set up around the apartment. Over the course of a few years he got better and better. Eventually, around 20 years old, he took it to the streets for some real testing. After a few "subjects" he really saw how deadly he could be with his new found strength, unfortunately it confines him to the shadows though.

It took Jaxson about another year to really take ARK in consideration. Part of him felt like he was given this power to help, and that's how he saw ARK's works. Of course he was going to join, but he gave himself another month's worth of training before actually joining up with them. He's been serving them for about 3 years now and he's done his fair share of work in the streets.

Extra : The backstory is a little rough due to the fact I was dealing with a writing block while typing it.

All good now, accepted

 

[Matryoshka Gal.]

Name: Jani Laukkanen

Alias/Nickname: N/A

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Appearance:

Jani’s style usually consists of wearing lounge wear. A t-shirt and sweat pants, weather permitting, is usually good enough for him.

Height: 6 ft

Weight: 175 lbs.

Blood Type: O +

Affiliation: N/A

Rank in Affiliation: N/A

Quirks:
He has the habit of skipping conversations he doesn’t care for, because of this he generally doesn’t know what’s going on in a given situation.

Fears/Phobias:
Jani has an immense fear of spiders, something that has haunted him since childhood. This irrational fear seems to be extended to squits.

Personality:
Whether due to the nature of abilities or simply due to himself as a person, Jani typically exudes a carefree attitude disassociated with the trials of everyday life. He views the war between ARK and GLASS as a petty quarrel between two rival gangs. Whenever he acts for anything life, it’s usually out of boredom. He’d be content with sitting inside all day, if it weren’t for all the excitement outside.

When interacting with either ARK or GLASS, he only interferes directly if the situation interests him. Thus, even if he had the power to prevent deaths or captures of either factions, he likely would do nothing. Although, the occasional begging for help has spurred him into action, however this help is usually unbiased; he's just as likely to assist ARK as he is GLASS.

Power:
Time Manipulation:
Jani can manipulate time in various manners, the basics revolving around accelerating, slowing, and stopping time. He can focus on a particular area (usually no more than a city block if he’s at full strength), or target specific objects/individuals, including himself.

Time Acceleration: Jani is capable of speeding up the rate that time passes by. Aside from a complete freezing of time, this is his most used aspect of his ability.

There are two situations when he makes use of it the most, namely in combat and when he’s bored. In the former case, it’s mostly applied to himself, giving him the appearance of having super-speed. The latter he uses mainly for skipping bits of time where he’s forced to wait, or when he’s not interested in a particular conversation.

In combat this ability is frequently, and almost instinctively, used to avoid attacks. He doesn’t actually move at high speeds, however, and as such if were to attack while accelerated, he'd have no extra momentum behind them. His enemies simply perceive him as faster than the human eye can track.

Outside of combat he has been seen to use it to speed up work, and to skip conversations, much to the chagrin of others. It’s theorized that he can speed up the healing process, but of course the extent of healing is still limited to human physiology.

When accelerating himself, his perception of time still travels at the normal rate, he can just move along it at a faster pace. Meaning there is no “bullet-time” affect from his perspective when he is accelerated.

This ability can be extended to another person or object; however, it takes much more concentration and energy to do so.

Another aspect of this power, one he rarely uses, is the ability to age someone or something to the point of decomposition. He dislikes doing so and avoids the power completely. This also fatigues him heavily.

Time Reduction: To various degrees, Jani has shown the ability to slow time down. His most favored usage of this ability is feigning telekinesis, mainly if projectiles are sent his way. He’s also capable of slowing down an opponent in order to dodge their attacks, although he usually prefers speeding himself up instead.

This preference is due to controlling the speed of time in relation to other living beings typically causing him great fatigue, the result being that he prefers manipulating his own time or that of objects. However, from time to time he’ll briefly (for only a few seconds) slow down his opponent in an attempt to disorient them.

Any objects or people that he does slow down can be interacted with by him without ill effect. For example, if he were to slow down the speed of a bullet, he would be able to adjust the bullet’s path with a finger while taking no damage to his hand.

Time Stopping: Perhaps his most powerful ability, Jani is capable of halting the flow of time completely, although the exact range of this ability is unknown. He can freeze an entire area, objects, people, and even himself.

Once a particular object or person is frozen, only he is capable of interacting with it, whether this be for damaging the object or moving it. Since the object can only be affected by him, this ability comes in handy when attempting to prevent harm to a particular person or object.

He has been shown to accidentally freeze himself before, revealing that he still remains conscious while in this state. The benefit of doing so is that he becomes indestructible, with no living creature being able to harm or move him. Of course, once this state is reversed he can be interacted with again as normal.

He has yet to find a useful application for freezing himself, and as such hardly does so.

When freezing an area, he has been shown to keep certain aspects unfrozen, such as allowing allies to move freely while maintaining the stoppage of opponents.

Mastery of Power:
While he has near mastery on account of years of practice, the ability still drains him as much as it did when he first discovered it.

Skills:
Outside of his abilities, he has no particular skill sets, although he can make a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This lack of human fortitude is made up for by his meta human abilities.

Limits:
· No matter how hard he may try, Jani cannot reverse the flow of time. Once an action has taken place, it cannot be taken back.

· When halting time completely, he can only do so for so long before beginning to suffer ill effects. Symptoms such as vomiting, nose bleeds, and headaches are typical after spending 15-20 minutes in frozen time.

· When time is accelerated, his perception is not able to keep up with it. Thus, if he fast forwards through a conversation, he will miss every detail of it. Due to his frequent habit of skipping conversations he is generally left out of the loop.

· The longest that Jani can slow down time has been 30-45 minutes, at which point time reverts to its normal speed. No such limit has been observed regarding the acceleration of time.

· He can only use one aspect of his ability at a time, meaning he cannot accelerate time for one object and slow it down for another at the same time.

Weaknesses:
· When using his ability for a continuous amount of time, typically up to an hour, he becomes exhausted to the point of almost passing out. Thus, if in combat, he typically battles for only a few minutes before retreating to recover.

· The recovery time varies according to how much of his abilities he used. He has experimented with speeding up his recovery time, but this usually gives him only a few more minutes at best.

· Jani is a profound pacifist, as he despises violence with a passion. While not truly a weakness, it does interfere frequently in his interactions with ARK or GLASS. While being arguably one of the most powerful superhumans out there, he rarely uses his abilities to any violent point.

· Speedsters are typically immune to his abilities to some extent. Acceleration does indeed affect them as normal, but the reduction and stopping of time will only affect them for a few moments, if that. It is not known whether they would retain their speed if slowed down or be unaffected completely.

Backstory
Jani Laukkanen, a former resident of Jyväskylä, Finland, has recently traveled to the city of Hale. His reasoning isn’t completely known; however, he may be interested in the affairs between GLASS and ARK. It is not yet known which side, if any, he may end up on.

Extra
· Despite his pacifistic tendencies, both GLASS and ARK would be right to be wary of him.

· He hates speedsters with a passion, due to their nature allowing them to circumvent his abilities.

· He speaks English and Finnish, the former having little to no accent.

(I understand that this character is fairly powerful, and am willing to scale back whatever needed, but I plan on keeping a very tight leash for him)

Jani’s style usually consists of wearing lounge wear. A t-shirt and sweat pants, weather permitting, is usually good enough for him.


Height: 6 ft


Weight: 175 lbs.


Blood Type: O +



Affiliation: N/A


Rank in Affiliation: N/A


Quirks:


He has the habit of skipping conversations he doesn’t care for, because of this he generally doesn’t know what’s going on in a given situation.

Fears/Phobias:


Jani has an immense fear of spiders, something that has haunted him since childhood. This irrational fear seems to be extended to squits.

Personality:


Whether due to the nature of abilities or simply due to himself as a person, Jani typically exudes a carefree attitude disassociated with the trials of everyday life. He views the war between ARK and GLASS as a petty quarrel between two rival gangs. Whenever he acts for anything life, it’s usually out of boredom. He’d be content with sitting inside all day, if it weren’t for all the excitement outside.

Power:


Time Manipulation: Jani can manipulate time in various manners, the basics revolving around accelerating, slowing, and stopping time. He can focus on a particular area (usually no more than a city block if he’s at full strength), or target specific objects/individuals, including himself.



Time Acceleration: Mostly used on himself for combat purposes, Jani is capable of speeding up the rate that time passes. Aside from a complete freezing of time, this is his most used aspect of his ability.


There are two main situations when he makes use of it the most, namely in combat and when he’s bored. In the former case, it’s mostly applied to himself, giving the appearance of having super-speed. The latter he uses mainly for skipping bits of time where he’s forced to wait, or when he’s not interested in a particular conversation.


In combat this ability is frequently, and almost instinctively used to avoid attacks or to give himself an advantage. He doesn’t actually move at high speeds, however, and as such his attacks have no extra momentum behind them. His enemies simply perceive him as faster than the human eye can track.


Outside of combat he has been seen to use it to speed up work, and to skip conversations, much to the chagrin of others. It’s theorized that he can speed up the healing process, but of course the extent of healing is still limited to human physiology.


When accelerating himself, his perception of time still travels at the normal rate, he can just move along it at a faster pace. Meaning there is no “bullet-time” affect when he is accelerated.


This ability can be extended to another person or object; however, it takes much more concentration and energy to do so.


Another aspect of this power, one he rarely uses, is the ability to age someone or something to the point of decomposition. He dislikes doing so and avoids the power completely.


Time Reduction: To various degrees, Jani has shown the ability to slow time down. His most favored usage of this ability is feigning telekinesis, mainly if projectiles are sent his way. He’s also capable of slowing down an opponent in order to dodge their attacks, although he usually prefers speeding himself up instead.


This preference is due to controlling the speed of time in relation to other living beings typically causing him great fatigue, the result being that he prefers manipulating his own time or that of objects. However, from time to time he’ll briefly (for only a few seconds) slow down his opponent in an attempt to disorient them.


Any objects or people that he does slow down can be interacted with by him without ill effect. For example, if he were to slow down the speed of a bullet, he would be able to adjust the bullet’s path with a finger while taking no damage to his hand.


Time Stopping: Perhaps his most powerful ability, Jani is capable of halting the flow of time completely, although the exact range of this ability is unknown. He can freeze an entire area, objects, people, and even himself.



Once a particular object or person is frozen, only he is capable of interacting with it, whether this be for damaging the object or moving it. Since the object can only be affected by him, this ability comes in handy when attempting to prevent harm to a particular person or object.


He has been shown to accidentally freeze himself before, revealing that he still remains conscious while in this state. The benefit to doing so is that he becomes indestructible, with no living creature being able to harm him, or even move him. Of course, once this state is reversed, he can be interacted with again as normal.


He has yet to find a useful application for freezing himself, and as such hardly does so.


When freezing an area, he has been shown to keep certain aspects unfrozen, such as allowing allies to move freely while maintaining the stoppage of opponents.


Mastery of Power:


While he has near mastery on account of years of practice, the ability still drains him as much as it did when he first discovered it.


Skills:


Outside of his abilities, he has no particular skillsets, although he can make a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This lack of human fortitude is made up for by his metahuman abilities.


Limits:


· No matter how hard he may try, Jani cannot reverse the flow of time. Once an action has taken place, it cannot be taken back.


· When halting time completely, he can only do so for so long before beginning to suffer ill effects. Symptoms such as vomiting, nose bleeds, and headaches are typical after spending 15-20 minutes in frozen time.


· When time is accelerated, his perception is not able to keep up with it. Thus, if he fast forwards through a conversation, he will miss every detail of it. Due to his frequent habit of skipping conversations, he is generally left out of the loop.


· The longest that Jani can slow down time has been 30-45 minutes, at which point time reverts to its normal speed. No such limit has been observed regarding the acceleration of time.


· He can only use one aspect of his ability at a time, meaning he cannot accelerate time for one object and slow it down for another at the same time.


Weaknesses:


· When using his ability for a continuous amount of time, typically up to an hour, he becomes exhausted to the point of almost passing out. Thus, if in combat, he typically battles for only a few minutes before retreating to recover.


· The recovery time varies according to how much of his abilities he used. He has experimented with speeding up his recovery time, but this usually gives him only a few more minutes at best.


· Jani is a profound pacifist, as he despises violence with a passion. While not truly a weakness, it does interfere frequently in his interactions with ARK or GLASS. While being arguably one of the most powerful superhumans out there, he rarely uses his abilities to any violent point.

· Speedsters are typically immune to his abilities to some extent. Acceleration does indeed affect them as normal, but the reduction and stopping of time will only affect them for a few moments, if that. It is not known whether they would retain their speed if slowed down or be unaffected completely.

Accepted. Yep, should be fine as long as you keep him restrained for the most part - I'd also ask that his more powerful abilities (aging to the point of death, freezing time, etc.) be pretty heavily fatiguing, but you seem to have that down for the most part.

 

[Matryoshka Gal.]

He might be unstoppable to a point, but he'll hardly do anything.

 

[Doctor Nope]

Even if his powers do go overpowered, we always have Chronos to counter him and wreck his shit

 

[Matryoshka Gal.]

Chronos? Doctor Nope

 

[Doctor Nope]

Chronos is one of my characters that also has time manipulation Matryoshka Gal.

 

[Matryoshka Gal.]

Quite honestly it seems like Jani is more powerful. :V

 

[Doctor Nope]

Chronos is a smart guy, he'll eventually find a way to get around things
