Juncture: A Comprehensive Character GuideOr something like that. We won't spill out all the secrets of every single character here! Instead, we'll update this gradually as Owen learns more about the characters and their lives. WARNING! If you're reading this thread for the first time, read the story first before looking at this list. It will contain information acquired thus far in the latest update.
Current Update:
- Conspiracy ii
ALT Apartment Residents
The ALT Apartment is a 12-story, somewhat worn out beige building that sits within the Maine state borders in Dranfort. It blends in with the other worn buildings around the area and is quite difficult to find for first time visitors. The ALT apartment was designed in 1903 by Alan Leston, Leonard Trevors, and Tal Avraham. It was repaired once again in 1962 in honor of the murder of Tal Avraham (the last surviving member of ALT), and has not been updated since.
The apartment currently houses the Private Investigator Owen Harding on the 4th floor in room 311A.
Legal Name」 Owen Harding
Age」21
Alias | Titles」N/A | Private Investigator
Appearance」 Owen is a generally well-groomed, light-skinned, athletic man at 5'10 with light brown hair, sharp hazel eyes with extremely small pupils, and friendly smile. He has been described as 'scary yet friendly' by Anessa. He's usually clean shaven and has trouble growing a full beard. He weighs 150 lbs.
Owen's typical attire consists of various coats, dress shoes, and comfortable but formal clothing. When going out on normal occasions that don't require stealth, he wears a beige panama hat to give an impression. During combat based assignments, Owen dons loose fitting dress pants, a large coat, and black running shoes. He usually ditches the panama hat.
Personality/Mannerisms」
Owen is an extremely dedicated man who claims to have "widened perceptions." His usual tactics include out of the box explanations, overanalyzing situations, and drawing lots of parallels even when there are none. He is an excellent investigator and can pull the smallest details into the spotlight.
Despite his wits and dedication, Owen is quick to become deluded when enough compelling evidence is produced. A skilled tamper could mess with him. His self-awareness with his flaws, while high, can also lead to some slip-ups.
Powers, Abilities & Skills」
Owen's body naturally re-energized when exposed to light, resetting his circadian rhythms and completely averting the need to sleep as long as he isn't in darkness. With substantial light, Owen is also capable of accelerating his perception, enhancing his reaction times and allowing his mind to perform more transactions per second. This mental buff is negated soon after the light sources disappear.
Owen's body also collects a minimal amount of photons that can be discharged at will from his eyes, temporary blinding anyone at close range, or triggering light sensors. This power puts such a strain on his body that, he will more than likely fall asleep soon after using it.
As a side effect of his perceptive powers, Owen is extremely dexterous with handheld weapons such as guns, bats, grenades, and bats. He can also sprint at speeds on par with the fastest athletes, and can jog for well over 40 minutes without experiencing any fatigue.
Legal Name」 Anessa Cohen Kennedy
Age」19
Alias | Titles」 N/A | "Knightess," "Heroine," Vigilante
Appearance」 Anessa is a relatively muscular young woman, standing at 5'8 with rather long legs and weighing in at 210 pounds as a result of her altered body with waist-length reddish-brown hair, green eyes, and a resting bitch face. Her features, such as curvaceous body shape, faintly striated biceps, and a slightly discolored lung outline, are usually not apparent at first due to her covering up well. She has completely flawless, fair skin that doesn't shine, and slightly blue fingertips.
Anessa's standard attire consists of loose fitting tucked t-shirts that are usually some shade of turquoise or green, blue jeans, black boots, and hoodies or jackets. She has been unable to get any piercings on her body, and sometimes compensates for this with fake earrings or shiny necklaces.
Anessa also has a skin-tight "superhero" suit lying around somewhere...
Personality/Mannerism」
Headstrong, loyal, and courageous, Anessa is quite similar to her abilities. Those who know her and known the term "Vanguard" almost always think about her, as she fits the classic description of one. Anessa attempts to rush her way through most situations with little consideration for her own injuries, and fully takes advantage of her power's damaging nature.
Anessa isn't necessarily an advocate for unnecessary violence, though it's very easy to justify reasons to her for fighting. She has a fairly conservative view on superheroes and villains, believing that heroes should protect and defend and that villains have to be apprehended. She's also somewhat unresponsive, romantically.
Powers, Abilities & Skills」
Anessa has a form of superhuman durability that makes her skin have a similar tensile strength to a slab of titanium, her muscles one and a half times as tough as that, and her veins and skeleton being tougher than any naturally occurring material. During the very early stages of a fight, Anessa's body has near invulnerability to anything short of a tank shell, as long as her power isn't tampered with. The active aspect of this ability allows her to force material such as oxygen into her blood stream and effectively harden it while letting it flow normally. This wears off over the course of a fight, opening up a vulnerability to damage as she becomes more fatigued.
Anessa also possesses superhuman strength through her ability, and can throw a sizable car a considerable distance on top of ragdolling weaker opponents, snapping locks and opening entryways, and support tremendous weights on her back. Her strength is rated 60-V on the Bürst scale.
She also has a secondary ability of generating a propelling force from her body, which she's learned to control to fly through the air unassisted. Her top speed is around the same as a sports car, though she lacks fine control in small spaces.
Anessa's natural body temperature is slightly higher because of "blood friction", though she can easily be choked out or asphyxiated. She loses much needed durability in situations where breathing becomes strained, difficult, or impossible, and can be easily damaged from the inside should someone be able to attack in there.

The Copperheads
A sectioned off gang of human and drug traffickers. Has few resources but is able to make use of the people surrounding itself. The Copperheads identify members via a tattoo of a snake wrapping around the forearm with daggers for teeth.

Legal Name」Phillip Jean Mueller
Alias | Titles」Purp | Supplier
Appearance」 A somewhat malnourished and gaunt man of around six feet tall, Purp looks rather disheveled compared to most people aside from one key feature - shining purple eyes. He has been described as being unsightly, yet attractive. He has buzz-cut black hair that is often hidden in a red beanie, and wears clothes that make him appear larger than he really is.
Personality/Mannerism」
Purp is a relatively laid-back and monotone guy, not exactly easy to impress or surprise. He's not afraid of interrogation, and doesn't really give much care about heroes or being arrested. If he's caught, he'll pull out cliché excuses knowing very well they usually won't work. He has an air of emptiness around him, and his fellow gang members frequently voice their concerns about his mental health. Purp denies.
Powers, Abilities & Skills」
Purp is capable of creating, shaping, and stabilizing deep purple matter that can be formed into simple constructs, such as various bullets, knives, swords, and polearms. Purp can consciously decide its strength, though he's limited to a certain area of material that doesn't exceed about 1 square meter.
He is also capable of "stacking" constructions and storing multiple in the same space, and "unstacking" them at will, causing them to generate explosive interactions. He cannot generate anything more complex than a bullet due to his limited understanding of mechanisms.
