(AoH) Heroic Profiles


Craig ST

Recommended Posts

Alright this is where your character profiles go. I was going to wait until I had Mariner ready to post but since people are so eager to start, I figured I'd create this now.

Okay this is for what is known about your character publicly. Only those people who have been approved should post a profile and if something is a secret, then don't post it here!

Birth Name: Secret Identity

Aliases: The Crimson Spider, “Crimson”

Birth Date: June 05, 1995 (17 Years old)

Place of Origin: Bay City, California

Gender: Male

Height: 5’10”

Weight: 165lbs

Hair: Unknown

Eyes: Unknown

Occupation: Vigilante

Powers: Crimson possesses superhuman strength, reflexes, and equilibrium; the ability to cause parts of his body to stick with great tenacity to most surfaces; and a subconscious prepositional "danger" sense.

Crimson’s overall metabolic efficiency has been greatly increased, and the compositions of his skeleton, inter-connected tissues and nervous system have all been enhanced. Crimson's musculature has been augmented so that he can lift (press) about 10 tons. His reflexes are faster than an average human by about a factor of 15 (he is often able to dodge bullets, if he is far enough away). Crimson is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength. He has developed a unique fighting style that makes full use of his agility, strength, and equilibrium.

Crimson's exposure to the spider genes induced a mutagenic, cerebellum-wide alteration of his anagrams resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of inter-atomic attraction (electrostatic force) between molecular boundary layers. This overcomes the outer electron shell's normal behavior of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail. The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited to Crimson's body (especially concentrated in his hands and feet) and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger. Limits to this ability seem to be psychosomatic, and the full nature of this ability has yet to be established.

Crimson possesses an extrasensory intuition, which warns him of potential immediate danger by a tingling sensation in the back of his skull. The precise nature of this sense is unknown. It appears to be a simultaneous clairvoyant response to a wide variety of phenomena, which has given several hundredths of a second warning, which is sufficient time for his reflexes to allow him to avoid injury. The sense also can create a general response on the order of several minutes: he cannot discern of the threat by the sensation. He can, however, discern the severity of the danger by the strength of his response to it.

Crimson, thanks to specially designed devices he calls ‘web-shooters’, is able to produce from his wrists, thin strands of a special “web fluid” at high pressure (nearly 300psi, which seems sufficient enough to force a stream an estimated 60 feet or significantly farther if shot in a ballistic parabolic arc). The web fluid is a shear-thinning liquid (virtually solid until a shearing force is applied to it, rendering it fluid) whose exact formula is as yet unknown. On contact with air, the long-chain polymer knits and forms an extremely tough, flexible fiber with extraordinary adhesive properties. The web fluid’s adhesive quality diminishes rapidly with exposure to air. After about 2 hours, certain imbibed ether cause the solid form of the web fluid to dissolve into a powder. The web line’s tensile strength is estimated to be 120 pounds per square millimeter of cross section.

Background: The Crimson Spider appeared on the scene only recently (within the last year), and his witty banter has left the city in stitches. While some argue that he's a menace and some argue he's just the sort of hero the city needs, Crimson continues to operate outside the law and without official sanctions from Bay City

Complications:

Secret Identity: The Crimson Spider is really mild mannered all around geek, Devin Kincaid. Devin’s popularity amounts to about a zero on a scale that’s irrelevant because he’ll never be anywhere on it.

Vengeance: Devin’s parents were murdered several years ago when his father, a Bay City Detective, was coming too close to busting the cities organized crime kingpin. Although Devin is a hero and has a strict no kill policy… will he be able to hold in his rage when battling the evil Don’s forces?

Behind The Mask: Devin is a social retard. He’s taken a lot of abuse from his fellow classmates and peers for being the typical smart, nerdy type. As the Crimson Spider though, Devin is so much more! Brave, heroic, an icon to the people of Bay City as its defender and its champion. He cool, witty, and not to mention the ladies adore him. Life is easier as the Crimson Spider the world needs him. It doesn’t need Devin Kincaid… does it?

With Great Power: By all accounts he should dead along with his mother and father and had it not been for the maturation of his powers on the night of their murder, he would be. But Devin ran away scared. Only later did he realize that with his super abilities he could have saved his mother and father. Now he’s borderline fanatical about making sure he never fails the people of Bay City again. Even when it’s wise to run away or back down, The Crimson Spider stands firm in the eye of the storm, refusing to run away like he did that night.

What Dreams May Come: Devin is wracked by horrible nightmares about the murder of his parents. He blames himself and carries the guilt of their murder with him like he pulled the trigger himself.

TALOS

TYPE_GORILLA_by_GstylezProdigy.jpg

Name: Talos

Real Name: Unknown

Sex: Male (this is believed to be accurate based on Talos' voice and comments by Olympus Tech. PR Reps.)

Height: 9' 6" (formerly 5' 11")

Weight: 852 lbs. (formerly 189 lbs.)

Eyes: Amber (formerly brown)

Handedness: right

Appearance: Reference file photo attached (above)

Background:

Talos' first appearance was two years ago during the 2009 Bay Area earthquake. The earthquake lasted only minutes but was rated as a class X on the Mercalli scale. Widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure ravaged Bay County and extended up and down the California coast. Talos bounded into action from somewhere in Alemeda (later determined to be the Olympus Technology Inc. campus) and set to using his abilities to assist local police, fire, and national guard with disaster relief. By the end of the day Talos had rescued hundreds of people from rubble, helped to extinguish dozens of fires, and made an incorruptible first image on the Bay Area in his first public appearance.

The city approached Olympus about hiring Talos as a civic defender, allowing him to operate freely within Bay City with the mandate to assist the police with crime and act as the city's first line of defense against super humans. Seeing an opportunity to gain free PR worth Talos' weight in gold Olympus agreed. Since then Talos has served Bay City as its premiere "Civic Defender" against a wide variety of super-criminals. He has fought the pint-sized powerhouse known as Anvil multiple times often to a standstill. Talos single-handedly defeated the four man superteam Fusillade. More recently Talos was on hand to defeat the possessed sorceress BlackMoon and the Demon Malrog the Golden Skinned alongside a new hero, a young woman calling herself Arrow Storm.

  • Shortly after the earthquake the city hired made an agreement with Olympus Technology Inc. based out of Alemeda, CA, to hire Talos as a public defender.
  • Talos remains based out of the Alemeda facility of Olympus Technology. He appears to require regular maintenance there.
  • It is unknown if Talos is a robot, an armored human, a cyborg, or something else.
  • Talos is massively strong, easily capable of lifting dozens of tons. His upper limit is unknown.
  • Talos is very heavily armored, and his actions against the supervillain team Fusillade has shown him able to withstand heavy machine-gun fire without damage.
  • Talos has a spotlight in his chest. He famously used it to locate a lost child in Golden Gate Park and escort her back to her parents.
  • Talos prefers to fight in close combat with unarmed strikes and grappling techniques, but when the need arises he has demonstrated ample ability with thrown objects.

    And a few notes about Olympus Technology Inc.

    • Olympus has their fingers in dozens of tech sectors ranging from industrial machinery to medical prosthetics.
    • Olympus is based in Alemeda with locations worldwide (though most are within the US, or US allies). They favor mythological Greek names for divisions, ex. Zues Power Systems, Hippocrates Medical, and Hermes Motorworks, among others.
    • Olympus has an untarnished corporate record. They are well known for paying above average wages, keeping manufacturing within the US, and having a stance of corporate responsibility to their community.

Name: Psi-Warrior

Real Name: Unknown

Sex: Male

Eyes: Light Blue-Green

Handedness: Right

Appearance: According to witness accounts and footage, Psi-Warrior is clothed from head to toe in a dark blue costume that seems to provide stealth during nighttime hours, and contains reinforced materials that seem to reasonably protect from bullets, if from nothing else. The complete face-mask and bodysuit only has small holes for the mouth and eyes.

Background:

The first reported appearance of Psi-Warrior came several months after the appearance of the Samaritan in April 2007, when police arrived at the scene of reported gunshots and sounds of combat on the San Francisco waterfront - and they found several men incapacitated - some the detectives on scene recognized as suspected traffickers in women, their victims and a blue-costumed figure melting away into the darkness.

The women clearly described the costumed hero, calling himself Psi-Warrior, as having ambushed their captors and bringing them down with glowing energy weapons, and freeing them. Soon afterward, more sightings of Psi-Warrior became commonplace, and he soon was caught on camera, defending the Kal'shiir collective from an assault by the Sky Pirate, and more famously, the defeat of Cerebral Rex and the Synaptic Council. Over the years, Psi-Warrior has become a recognized member of the Bay Area superset, though he tends to work alone mostly - except on occasion with Talos (especially the mad scientist Splicer in January 2011), and surprisingly the controversial Chance - though his reasons for doing so remain unclear.

Known Powers: Psi-Warrior is known to possess a range of psychic abilities, able to read minds and communicate with others telepathically, fly, move objects telekinetically, make enemies freeze up, and of course generate his trademark psionic energy weapons, which can be used in melee or launched at range. It is rumored but remains unconfirmed that he can turn invisible at will.

Known Foes: Psi-Warrior has notably fought Cerebral Rex and the Synaptic Council on multiple occasions, as well as dealt with the Sky Pirate, the eco-villain Verde, Splicer, and has aided the police in targeting organized crime.

Masked Hero and Villain Debut

Elena Alvarez

Updated 11:34 p.m., Sunday May 6, 2012

Today marked the first verified sighting of the unnamed archer who has emerged as the newest crime fighter. There were rumors of her presence before but those remained unverified. Unlike previous outings, this time witnesses were able to ascertain gender and skills. Her rumored encounters had all occurred from rooftops and witnesses were never able to get close enough to confirm much about our mystery woman, or provide proof of her existence.

Today’s epic battle was different. It started near the bay with a vicious attack on an innocent woman and her child. The villain, known only as the Headsman, attacked Margie Grossman, 24, as she was coming home from working a late shift. According to Grossman’s mother, Grossman would pick her son Tyson from a cousin who watched him and walk home. Tonight, she was accosted by the Headsman, who killed her with a firearm and took her head. As the six-year-old boy fled from his mother’s murderer, the Headsman gave chase intending to run down the child and slay him.

The unknown archer stopped the Headsman before he could harm the boy and engaged him in a firefight. Though she was armed with arrows and he with a gun, she was able to drive him away from the boy. They engaged in a long running fight that ranged south over the city, ending only when the Headsman forced the archer to make a dreadful choice: continue to chase him or let a teen girl fall to her death. The heroic archer chose to save a life.

At this time, questions abound about the identities of both the archer and the Headsman. The archer is clearly a force for good in the city, while the Headsman is a vile criminal, remorseless and evil.

‘Lady Hood’ Has Name

Elena Alvarez

Updated 9:44 a.m., Sunday June 4, 2012

Bay City’s own archer, dubbed the Lady Hood, has finally received a name. She engaged with the well-known defender Talos to bring down BlackMoon, a demon-possessed housewife and her demonic captor. Though BlackMoon was released later, the fight to stop the deadly duo gave Bay City a real chance to see the trick arrows in action. There was a definite net arrow, as well as a blunt-headed one to knock enemies out.

Despite this show, we still don’t know much about the heroine. She gave her name to Talos as Arrow Storm, but she has not talked to the press yet. Talos had little additional information to offer about her.

Lady Hood Has No Official Name

Elena Alvarez

Updated 1:55 p.m., Sunday July 27, 2012

The heroine known previously as Arrow Storm would officially appear to have no name. When addressed as ‘Arrow Storm’ by a citizen, she denied that was her name now. She was questioned further, and the young woman admitted that she hasn’t settled on a name yet. The man attempted to learn more, but the machine Autocron rose again and resumed the fight with Lady Hood.

It seems our young archer is still uncovering her identity! Until that time, the Bay City Chronicle will call her Lady Hood. We do this not as an insult, but because we feel it fits her. She is a young woman who puts herself on the line to fight crime, righting social injustices while working outside of conventional authority. We do know one thing: Bay City is lucky and proud to have this amazing woman fighting for them.

Weight: 122 lbs

Eye Color: Brown

Hair Color: Brown

Handedness: Right

69 Scale: 47 / 69

Appearance: Today’s hottie is also rich. Her hair is a dark brown, not black like her sweet Spanishceta mama. Her eyes are like her mother’s, dark and large, though you’re not going to be looking at those much. This sweet ass knows how to dress; she’d look fine on any man’s arm.

Tempest is a cheerleader. I put that in bold, because that’s hot. Her personality is lighthearted and bubbly, always kind and smiling. She also does gymnastics. C’mon. Tell me you don’t wanna tap that so hard!

They put out a kid and that was Tempest. Two years later they had a son, but he’s a retard. No one’s seen the kid and rumors say they keep him locked up in the house so he can’t be seen. He’s probably disfigured and shit.

She’s seeing Logan Henderson Bay City North’s quarterback. Logan’s family is rich; his father was a city founder too. You have an ice cube’s chance in hell with her.

Name: Chance

Real Name: Unknown

Sex: Female

Eyes: A devilish yellow glow

Handedness: Right

Appearance: It’s difficult to say if Chance is actually wearing some kind of armor or if it is part of her skin. No matter what the material is made of, it only adds to her general demonic, yet extremely seductive and enticing appearance. While she has a gained a fair number of fans (mostly male) among the younger demographic range (16 to 24-year olds) there are also an equally large number of citizens who consider her more curse than blessing and label her as a demonic whore.

Background:

Chance has just recently appeared on the Superhero-Radar of San Francisco and has caused quiet some stir ever since. No matter how and where she has appeared no one has reported to see her arriving or leaving but one can always tell she was there measured by the collateral damage done to private and government property.

Only her rare Team-up with Psi-Warrior has put her on the “good” side of the city-defenders and her definite good intentions.

The enigmatic “witch” has still to prove herself in the eyes of the general populace but she seems to be on a good way. The Conclave of Arcane Representative has confirmed that Chance is fighting for the cause of good under supervision of the Conclave even though her magic implies a darker source.

Known Powers: It is difficult to tell what exactly Chance’s powers are. She does wield powerful magical spells which grants her fantastic abilities and powers. Her most common “battleform” being her Avatar-Shape which grants her a toughened hide and huge bat-like wings and the ability to hurl balls of greenish hellfire. She has also been seen assuming a demonic hulking and over 10-feet tall close-combat form which grants her superhuman strength.

If she’s not using either of her battleforms she has been seen doing all kinds of impossible seeming feats from teleporting using large Portals or projecting some kind of protective “forcefield”.

Known Foes: Some would say her greatest enemy is herself or what the majority things of her actions. For some the source of her magic is questionable and this has been the bone of contention of some late night talks on TV. If the Conclave of Arcane has any specific or known foe(s) then Chance will be its shield and sword.

TITAN

Real Name: Unknown

In the last few weeks, rumors of a new superhuman have circulated through the Bay City area. No one claims to have seen him up close, or spoken with him, but avid hero-spotters have put together a few things about the man they are calling 'Titan'. He seems to wear a metallic blue armored chest piece over a skin tight black body suit, with red trimmed metallic gloves and boots. A symbol that some claim to be an arrow, and others a large 'T' is prominently featured in red on his chest, and on the back of his cape, in black. He has dark skin and white hair, and can fly at high speed. There have been rumors that a gang fight was broken up in the docks district by the superhuman, leading to the assumption that he is a new 'hero', but no arrests were made and any eyewitnesses have not made a statement to the press.

This is essentially all that is known about this new hero.

The Charta Domina, Kamiko Anderson

Casual
50168cd306664_tomisimamitaimonKeikoKitagawasexyphotoscelebrityphotosexypicturesgirlfaceglasses_large.jpg

On The Job
501e9134476bd_CD.jpg

What is known to the public via combining various news sources and published material:

Known History: Kamiko was born to a rich family who made their fortunes in the Silicon Valley area in the beginning of the Information Age. Not wanting for anything, yet always wanting to do her best for the community. Following her parent's lead, she devoted her time to charity efforts in the area and was generally seen as being given good influence from her parents. As she grew older, she began to wonder what she could do with her life after school. She was intelligent, perceptive, and could figure things out most of her teachers didn't catch on to, even outside the lesson plan.

It was on her guidance counselor's suggestion she should look into law enforcement. But Kamiko decided she could be of better use helping people as a Private Investigator. Her parents thought her idea while not ideally her forte could still be worthwhile. So when she turned 18 and graduated High School she applied herself to the vocation of being a private eye. Getting her licence was easy and the training was simple. She eschewed a firearm because at the time she felt she wouldn't get into cases like that.

She decided she wouldn't depend on her trust fund to pay for her college, using her career to fund schooling and using the ample funds she had to pay for a small 3-story office complex in Downtown San Fransisco and to buy a Manor in the San Fransisco hills for her residence nearby.

After graduating with a major in Criminal Justice and Psychology as a Minor, she decided to also allow a friend to become a roommate at her residence, Cassandra. Kamiko took up her career full-time at that point, and things seemed perfectly fine.

One day changed everything, she was investigating a case for the Science Department in Berkley. Seems some files had disappeared and it was of some longevity research that put the scientists under heavy surveillance by several different pharmaceutical firms.

When Kamiko checked the files of one individual by the name of Doctor Jane Austere, she saw what she was looking for. Jane had transferred the files of one of the professors working on the project to a drug firm under the name of "Bibliophile". If it wasn't for Kamiko stumbling on this physically, she would have not even known who was responsible! How could she have pulled this off so perfectly? When Kamiko turned around, Dr. Austere was standing behind her with a drawn pistol to her chest and fired.

Kamiko's world was a bright white for a moment.

When she came to, she felt a pain in her chest as if she was punched. She checked for blood but found none and when she reached into her pocket, only a few sheets of paper on her small notebook was all that stopped a .45 slug! Shocked, she stumbled away and notified the professors on her findings, but Dr. Austere was no where to be found. She made up a story on how she was wearing a undercover vest.

After resting, she began to wonder if something odd happened to her... if it was just luck... so she looked to some writing paper on her desk and with her mind, commanded it to form into a paper crane. That was when she knew, she now knew why Austere the Bibliophile was so good at what she did in corporate espionage. She had a power that gave her an edge and now... now so did Kamiko.

Kamiko took the basement level of her residence and secured it, turning it into her own personal command center, while keeping the rest of the building set up as her home as her residence.

The first person to learn of her being a superhuman was Cassandra, and Kamiko found out her roommate was also a superhuman as well. After a few misadventures together, they realized that they were in it for the long haul. Kamiko wouldn't have it any other way.

Known appearance: Kamiko tends to dress business-like, wearing various ensembles that would be welcome in a boardroom, all under an ample white cloak or coat which is known to be a construct of her paper-controlling psychic ability. She keeps her long black hair in a tight bun, and while it is not known if she needs a prescription or not for her brown eyes, she wears a pair of glasses.

Known Legal Status: Kamiko is a single female resident of San Fransisco, licenced to be a PI in the state of California. She is a born citizen of the United States, her birth parents of mixed citizenship (Mother is Japanese, Father is Second Generation British American). She has not adopted any secret identity, carrying the name "Charta Domina" more as a title than a codename. Charta Domina in Latin means Mistress of Paper or Paper Mistress.

Name: Neutrino Girl

Real Name: Mija McNamara

Sex: Female

Eyes: Brown

Handedness: Left

Appearance: The Neutrino Suit is shiny metal powerarmor built with advanced technology. The suit fits snugly enough that it might be confused with a robot, but for the fluid natural motion of its movements. The metal plating that provides the suit its armor is composed of experimental alloys and painted a candy colored bubblegum pink, the articulations of the suit are otherwise 'murdered out' in flat black, and the visor is mirrored stainless steel that looks almost white.

While wearing the suit, Mija stands around 5'7" and weighs about as much as a medium sized motorcycle, approximately 500 lbs. Outside the suit, Mija is far slighter, standing only at 5'2" and weighing 112 lbs. She looks like what she is, a fresh-faced innocent college freshman, with long black hair, doey brown eyes, a smattering of freckles, and a dazzling smile.

5029359846fc6_1342823174057.jpg

Background:

Mija's secret identity as Neutrino Girl is not known to the public, or to anyone. The only man who would know, her father, the reknowned nuclear physicist Dr. Nathan McNamara, has vanished without a trace, and is presumed to be dead.

Neutrino Girl has only been spotted a half dozen times in public and photographed twice--once by a private citizen's cell-phone while chasing down a mugger who stole an old woman's purse at an atm, and two weeks later by a local television network doing a human interest story on a Berkley resident. That incident involved the complicated rescuing of a cat from a tree and resulted in a viral YouTube video appropriately titled 'Superhero Saves Cat, Blows Up Tree.'

Name- Cade Michael Alistaire

Age - 27

Height- 6'2

Weight- 170 lbs

Hair- Blonde

Eyes- Blue

Bloodtype- AB+

Cade Alistaire, Heir to the vast Durandal Conglomerate, is a man on the clock, and there's not too much time remaining.

As a young man Cade was an accomplished athelete, nearly olympic level in ability, but that was before the symptoms of the disease afflicting him reared their heads, and struck him down from such lofty ability. The company has vast interests in the medical research fields, originally many projects sprung from research conducted to try and cure the disease ravaging the then young man's body. It managed to retard the progression, but never stop it.

With other intersts in construction, energy research, and materials research, the company led the way in many enterprises, as Cade gave freely of his significant intellect, trying to find some way to save himself.

Now, Ten years later, Cade has largely lost a great deal of his former abilty, though his mind remains as powerful as ever. He's been toldd there is no cure, and on his own authority, discontinued the research that has been dedicated to saving him, under the notio n it would be better spent elsewhere. It was a chance encounter that decided how he would spend what time he had left. All that money on a dead end, it was put forth he could do better with it, as no other instances of the disease were known.

Putting his mind, and the various research available to him together, he cobbled together the first enhancement suit, dubbed "Daedalus." This suit used a small but high capacity battery to power a light form fitting exoskeleton system that restored a great deal of his mobility. Still he knew he could take it even further.

Using the very first micro fusion reactor, developed in total secrecy, he added flight, and low yield laser emitters to the exoskeleton.

Further iterations saw advanced electronics and avionics, and new ultra lightweight alloys used to protect him and the internals. Finally, "Icarus" was born. Each piece of the armal is integral able to in limited fashion function without the others, with superconductive conduits connecting them, The armor is built extremely touch, and every system is at leas five generations more advanced than it's original iteration. Capable of compacting into a small briefcase, it can enclose Cade completely sealing against the outisde conditions and booting up in less than three seconds. It can only be activated by Cade's voice, or the special bio sensor implanted in Cade, nominally used to monitor his condition. The sensor is a double edged sword, because it will disengage the armor when its continued usage will result in Cade's death. So far he has failed to find a way to override this feature.

His parents are aware of his pet project, and his father quietly approves. New to the hero business, Cade, going by the name of his armor, "Carus, has stopped a number of armed robbery incidents, his armor protecting him from the small arms fire, and even some large caliber weapons. The enhancement and restoration module lets him perform well beyond where he once was, and for the first time in his life, he couldn't be happier. Finally he's found his calling, his purpose, as a hero.
