I was a blind fool, never complained. All the survivors singing in the rain. I was the one with the world at my feet. Got us a battle, leave it up to me. What it is and where it stops nobody knows, you gave me a life I never chose. I wanna leave but the world won't let me go, wanna leave but the world won't let me go.

ORIGIN —
Origin Story:
Arthur Meachum has never known home. His father, Donald Meachum, was a high-ranking officer in the United States Navy. With his mother and two younger brothers, Michael and Nathaniel, their family migrated often to wherever Donald’s services were needed; South Korea, Italy, Iraq, Thailand, Philippines, and some that Arthur remains too young to remember. On the various bases the Meachum children attended naval academies. Structure, discipline, and a level system were planted into them. As the eldest child, there was more asked of Arthur Meachum and he rose to the occasion each and every time. A stellar cadet, athlete, and scholar, it was clear to his superiors that this was Donald Meachum’s son. Arthur himself idolized his father, and held himself to a standard he believed would make him proud. It never quite did. Arthur was considered a golden child, but Donald had always thought gold to be too pretty for the battlefield.

Not all of his brothers had the same amount of success that Arthur did. The youngest, and the smallest, of the trio was Nathaniel Meachum who was bullied for his short, stocky stature. His freckled cheeks and robust glasses made him an easy target for the other boys. His elder brothers intervened from time to time, but couldn't protect him forever. It was with Nathaniel that Arthur’s abilities had first manifested themselves, a total fluke that together, the teens tested the extent of these strange new powers. Arthur felt like even more of an alien to his father, whereas, Nathaniel was fascinated by what was their first exposure to powered individuals.

In Arthur's final year of highschool, Nathaniel had gone missing for over twenty-four hours. When it was time for the investigation, Arthur and Michael would barge into their brother’s dormitory, and were made privy to the truth of Nathaniel’s death in a post-mortem letter. Nathaniel described the details of the bullying that had been dismissed as boys being boys. His brother had been molested and sexually assaulted time after time. He’d had foreign objects lodged within himself and had been forced to commit horrendous acts. All of these were things that had made Nathaniel disgusted in himself as a weakling and sinner, and so he jumped into the sea. Arthur had never really been taught to deal with his emotions, at least not in a healthy way. He’d dealt with feelings by exercising them out of him, but the sensations burning through him were more than could be tamed. Instead of reporting the incident, Arthur took it upon himself to punish those his brother had mentioned in the letter. It was in the communal showers that he had finally found them. The cameras overheated and combusted, the temperature in the showers heightened significantly. Sparks flew from his palms and the four bullies were reduced to ash.

He was arrested and taken away by the authorities. Arthur did not spend a single night in jail. Instead, the chopper had taken him to a secure facility that he’d never heard of, Lacrimura. Arthur was made aware of the presence of others like him, as well as the opportunity to use his powers to do good. To avenge those like Nathaniel and become a part of something greater like his father. He agreed. Testing was long and gruesome, but it would eventually transition to months of formal training. Eventually, he’d be used publicly by the government as the peoples’ beacon of light. His god-like abilities made civilians flock to him, and criminals cower at his feet. He wasn’t always so skilled in his abilities, but with time and experience he flourished. He developed a mental block against killing which has sometimes made him a liability to Lacrimura and a failure to his father. Alas, Atlas soon became a national staple.

As quickly as things ascended for Arthur, they seemed to descend too. He’d spent years in the superhero limelight, but had always been more of a private man. Marigold Portier was his wife and actually the lead scientist during his examination when he had first joined Lacrimura. The radioactive nature of Arthur’s abilities were more than explored, and in hopes of living a relatively normal life, Arthur was given supplements to account for them. He was supposed to have the ability to sleep with whatever man or woman he chose, to bear children, and walk in public without fear of causing mutations in those around him. The results seemed promising in Marigold and Arthur’s lengthy relationship, but when it came time for children, they only seemed to produce stillbirths and miscarriages. The lack of a child formed a sort of void between Arthur and his wife. A void with which he filled with his hero duties.

It was during this period that a captured villain had broken free from the facility. During the chaos, the life of Marigold Portier was claimed by this villain. Arthur quickly slipped into a depression. He coped with violence, alcoholism, and fraternization. Arthur has skipped out on therapy, and strained relationships between those closest to him. He takes self-prescribed hiatuses from being a superhero, opting for an impromptu flight to the Himalayas, or the sun. Although he's always considered himself to be a good man, Arthur wonders whether or not he must decide to kill in order to eradicate evil from the world. Furthermore, are those tiny specks on the blue ball that is Earth truly worth his saving?

    positive traits

    
    
    
    

    
    
    
    

    
    
    

    
    
    
    

    First and foremost, River is a person who is unequivocally devoted to being themself. If this comes at the expense of societal norms, than so be it. They are who they are, and it is damned if anybody tries to get in their way. There have been many people who have tried to tell them that if they were just a little bit more... normal than they could get very far in life. But River revels in their madness - and they find that by being themself, they are the most happy and the idea of being forced into a little neat societal box absolutely disgusting for them.

    
    

    
    

    
    
    
    
    

    
    
    

    
    
    
    

    Despite his eccentricities, River is surprisingly insightful in his day to day life. He, quite simply, just seems to understand people better than most can dream of. Ask him for advice, and you'll get some incredibly intelligent response... if not hidden behind a myriad of riddles and metaphors that make it difficult to understand. But still, the advice he gives is sound, if not usually not very well adhered to. Simply put, he's surprisingly wise for such a young age, seeming to carry a world's worth of wisdom in his brain.

    
    

    
    

    
    
    
    
    

    
    
    

    
    
    
    

    As is with the first positive trait, River is unequivocally devoted to being herself - and able to accept all the difficulties that come with such an individualistic manner. Because of this, she has gained a fair amount of easygoing to her nature. She exists, and people are going to have to deal with her or they can just leave. She doesn't mind either way. After all, when you get mad at her existing, that's more of a reflection on you rather than on her. No skin off of her back if you decide to be rude about it. And obstacles in her path are dealt with with a continued lack of judgmenet or care.

    
    

    
    

    
    
    
    
    

    
    
    

    
    
    
    

    Glazed over eyes and a stumbling drooping drunken manner hides a sharpness to them. A terrible amount of skill at taking in his surroundings and then interpreting them in such a quick and instanteous manner that you'd think him to be a genius. Of course, this is also aided by his ability to listen in on others. People think him to be a fool, and therefore lower their guard around him, feel free to talk freely around him. But he's aware of both the explicit and implicit meanings behind things. Meaning that his perceptiveness is made to surprisingly good use.

    
    

    
    

    
    
    
    

    
    
    
  • 
    
    
    

    negative traits

    
    
    
    

    
    
    
    

    
    
    

    
    
    
    

    it would be remiss, of course, to not mention the fact that River speaks in riddles. No matter how he communicates, it's always within layers of metaphors and references that make it quite difficult to understand what exactly he's saying. This, addled with his actions which paint him to be more mad than prophet, makes him incredibly difficult to actually be around. Or at least, for him to be understood by others in a way that is quick, concise, and dependable. Just when people think that they've managed to pin him down, he often quite deliberately decides to throw them for a loop.

    
    

    
    

    
    
    
    
    

    
    
    

    
    
    
    

    Determination can easily lead to stubborness, and in the case of River, she often won't budge from her ideals. Individualism is great until it is an active hindrance to those around you, and River has the tendency to play jumprope with that line. And no matter what, she will never compromise in her morals, and has some difficulty in getting talked out of what she is convinced is the best (or most entertaining) way forward.

    
    

    
    

    
    
    
    
    

    
    
    

    
    
    
    

    Quickness lays within their blood and sometimes things aren't thought out as much as they should be. This has led to River getting into quite a few sticky situations as they tend to jump in head first without looking before they leap. These random movements are done based on a whim, with very little warning before hand, contributing to an ongoing demeanor of having to question whether or not they're sober or just... strange.

    
    

    
    

    
    
    
    
    

    
    
    

    
    
    
    

    Frustration with not being able to be understood by most seeps in every now and then, and when their advice is not listened to, sometimes River will become frustrated. This has led to a surprising amount of petulance that leaks through every now and then - small bits of smug "I told you so" to the usually easy going nature of the prophet. Of course, these bits of smug sass are usually layered underneath more riddles, making it difficult to understand when exactly a person is being sassed, but it still exists.

    River is a big fan of snakes and a big fan of owls. They also have a lot of stock in different cultures and anthropology. They like people watching and learning about people. They also really like learning more superstitions of the world, according to them it "helps them find what the universe is telling them at all times."

    
    

    
    
    
    
    

    
    
    

    dislikes

    
    
    
    

    There is nothing in this world that River despises more than disguises and pretense. For a person that can see past the veil, it is very annoying when people try to keep up appearances... Or those who force others to submit to a kind of normal. Over all, they are an extremely individualistic fellow who hates the idea of a specific status quo.

    important milestone

    
    
    
    

    River was born the youngest of four siblings.
    
    Her parents were geniuses. Her mother was a leading astrophysicist, her father was a leading robotics engineer. Her oldest sister is a social activist lawyer on the forefront of the good fight. Her brother is training to be an opera singer at the Sydney Opera House.
    
    And she is the next in line of this family of absolute geniuses.
    
    Whoops?
    
    We don't know exactly what went wrong with this one, but she was born speaking in riddles and weirding people out with her uncanny knowledge of events. Followed by a deep love of reading and people watching and... yikes.
    
    Yeah. It's pretty bad. The riddles have only gotten worse with age.

    Teenage Years

    
    
    
    

    River in highschool got, paradoxically, popular of the outcasts. The people that didn't exactly "fit in" with the rest of the student body. He became their king, and they hung on his every word. See, River can in fact carry some charisma when he tries. And this deep sense of belonging stuck with River. He decided to become a champion of the broken, the misunderstood, the lost, the ones that needed guidance. The weirdos. The ones that didn't fit in.
    
    So, he turned his gaze towards being a hero. Everyone, after all, needed someone to look up to, right? And if someone needed a weirdo to identify with as a beacon of hope... it might as well be him, right?

  Prophet

  
  
  
  

  River was given the gift of being able to see throughout time. Future sight is fantastic, but it's quite often extremely overwhelming for the prophet to keep up with. There isn't exactly an "on" and "off" filter to the universe bending over and whispering into your ear secrets about everything 24/7. This also comes with the caveat that everything River says is intrinsically a riddle... making communication of these secrets to the universe and time really fucking difficult to convey in a timely manner, and by the time the warnings can be interpreted or taken seriously... they usually come true

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  

  Reputation

  
  
  
  

  River has a reputation of those within the know of being... well, insane. Absolutely insane. Difficult telling what the fuck he's going on about, to be completely frank. Though, every now and then a rumor will leak through of River having an uncanny ability to know things about people, and to know things about the future that he shouldn't. To know secrets, and to be a wise prophet... These rumors are immediately covered up by five other different rumors about the child being caught trying to eat dirt. Still, he's gained a small cult following of people that just... like watching him go.

personality

Stan Lee was--is--just an average person, your everyday university student studying to get his Masters in Business Administration so he could become one of the Gears. It’s not an easy dream to achieve, but Stan has always dreamed of being able to work closely with the Five ever since he was younger. It’s for this reason that he pushes himself to the limit, ever studious and diligent in his studies and internships all while keeping an optimistic smile on his face.

Of course, everyone has their own sets of issues. Stan’s seem smaller than most, at least. All of his vices and negative emotions disappear, pushed away into a dangerous power he closes himself away from. He suppresses every single bit of self-doubt and every tiny drop of pain, until it all bursts out… somewhere far, far away from him. Every bit of depression and anxiety, frustration and anger, the empathy he feels for others--all of it washes away, leaving a purely buoyant fountain of good feelings.

That’s what people like about Stan! Nothing ever gets him down! He’s always there to cheer other people up and to lend a shoulder to anyone in need. Everything will be okay, he says. Everything will be okay.

origin story

Stan Lee was upset, no, he was frustrated beyond belief. He had just gotten a bad grade on his first midterm, his first major grade back at the top university in Emerdol. It was horrible. God, he hated that Professor, who was always obnoxiously strict with grading tests. Unhappy, dark emotions bubbled up from the bottom of his stomach, threatening to choke him alive. He had studied so much. Hours and hours. This wasn’t fair.

He wished… he wished…

He wished that damned professor would just, blow up.

And all around Stan, at different points in the City of Emerdol, one right beside one poor Professor who really didn’t deserve this, grotesque abominations bloomed into existence, before ripping apart the nearest civilians. They rampaged wildly, desperately fended off by Wannabes, until the Five stepped in to stop them.

This incident, thought to be a one-time occurence, was labeled the March of a Hundred Demons. But, it didn’t stop there. Several weeks after, another eruption occurred. Then another. And another, and another, and another. These monsters, now thought to be part of an organized group, were soon labeled the March.

As they march on, Stan continues to go to university, with all of his stress and worries gone… he even got an internship with one of the Gears working with the Five! Oh, he was so excited! His parents would be so, so proud of him!

Things were finally looking up for him, after that first disastrous year at Emerdol University. He couldn’t wait to start his internship, unpaid as it was. Ahh, what a blessed life he had, with caring parents who brought him up well, the most supportive friends anyone could ask for, and a bright future to look forward to!

demons of emotion

Upon feeling intense (but mainly negative) emotions or any kind of physical pain, Stan begins generating different kinds of monsters in an extremely wide radius around himself. They have differing personalities based on what kind of emotion generated them, but retain all of Stan’s memories and share a basic hive mind. Stan represses any connection he feels with and any memories he receives from the March, rendering it nonexistent on his end. Maybe he'd actually be able to control his power, otherwise? Most monsters retain a degree of the duplication power that Stan has, but can deviate from the basic self-duplication template.

Monsters do not share Stan’s goals, and are generally free to wreak havoc. Seeing how they’re usually based from negative emotions, this usually results in widespread property destruction and civilian murder. Worrying enough, each monster seems to be growing in intelligence and diversity, becoming more and more human…

REPUTATION

The March is viewed as an extreme danger to society, as a supervillain that appeared 4 years ago.

Any rogue members of the March are seen as acceptable KoS targets once identified, to prevent any further spread due to the well-known nature of their duplication abilities. Each member has a public bounty. They almost always target civilian locations and civilian areas upon manifestation. This includes restaurants, schools, hospitals, libraries, and more. The assaults of his monsters have been equated to domestic terrorism, and law enforcement have been unable to identify a clear reasoning behind the actions of the collective. Most members tend to lash out violently in random locations, while there also appears to be actions from an organized coalition. Even docile ones are targets for elimination.

Heroes and street-level villains also dislike the March, because of the belief that their wanton destruction gives powered individuals who take non-human forms or have non-human features a bad name, and can risk making others targets in their “parades.” To the Five, the March is a good boogey-man to show the public why they’re heroes. For the more psychopathic, they’re convenient monster-of-the-weeks to inflict violence on. For the more sympathetic, the agony each member of the March seems to perpetually be in seems all too human. Are they escaped experiments that used to be human? Mutated animals? Conspiracy theorists go wild, thinking about the possibilities.

The identity of the March’s leader is virtually unknown. In reality, it is a series of monsters who are in charge of all of the March’s actions, rather than the original Stan, who peacefully goes to university, willfully unaware of the chaos his creations have wrought. Currently, the primary leader of the organized portion of the March is the most non-monstrous monster created thus far, and the most intelligent. They call him the Marshal. The Marshal actively recruits henchmen and underlings outside of Stan's creations, and is currently laying low to build up his powerbase.

fun facts

1. painfully lactose intolerant, dairy is his greatest weakness
2. but it tastes so good....
3. no, stan, don't eat the ice cream.... no....
4. you're gonna be bloated later...
5. no self-control, smh...
6. represses any memories he gains from the march, and wholeheartedly believes that he has no power. there's no tangible way or evidence to connect the two.
7. owns three guinea pigs: peppa, baozi, and sticks. his apartment smells a bit like guinea pig.
8. that being said he lives in an apartment next to the university funded by scholarships and student loans.
