Gender: Male
Race/Species: Caucasian American
Age: 42
Height: 6'1

Costume:

Hero Name: Night Watch
Super Power: Gadgets
Arch Nemesis: Bedlam

Personality:
Richard is calm and calculated, often seeming distant and cold. But those who know him, know he's be kind and quick witted. He is deeply passionate about keeping those he cares about safe, even if he doesn't always articulate it.

Background:
Richard grew up in a rich household, the child of the CEO of a brilliant tech company; the company he took over once his father passed. He found love and married, moving in to his family's mansion with his wife. One night, when coming home from work, he found his house broken into. His furniture smashed, some riches stolen, his wife.....murdered.

For months he tracked down the people who committed such a crime and killed them. Realising that he had become as bad as the people he killed, Richard vowed not to cross that line again; but also knew that people like these still needed justice. So, he became the feared Night Watch

Years later he formed the Guardians of Justice and fought with them for many years. But after what was known as The Babylon event was stopped, Nightwatch left the team due to moral differences and returned to his city.

 

[Qrowlis]

Name: Theodore Smith.
Gender: Male.
Race/Species: Half-human.
Age: Twenty-two.
Motivation: To atone for the mistakes of his family.

Appearance: An average-looking young man with pale skin, green-grey eyes, and dark brown hair. He has the sort of face that wouldn't stand out in a crowd. In his civilian form, he likes to wear cozy, comfortable clothing and is often found with his camera in hand. He wears fake glasses.
Height: 5’11.

Costume: wip.
Hero Name: Rift.
Archnemesis: N/A.
Superpower: Portal creation and manipulation. By drawing on a form of rare natural energy, Theodore can create portals. He requires line of sight in order to open a portal, and can chain portals together. The more he uses his power, the more of this energy he drains from the surrounding area, until he’s eventually resorted to using his own. Overuse causes headaches, dizziness, and eventual fainting. (Additionally, he is hardier than a normal human being and has slightly enhanced senses.)

(As an reference, think of how the portals work in the game Portal 2. That’s how I envision his power!)

Personality:
Background: Though he looks human, one of Theodore's parents is anything but, and it's from them that he inherited his abilities. Long before he was born, that parent had run away from a choice they never wanted and found refuge in New York, where they met his mom, Sara. It was she who helped them establish the mundane identity of Jo Smith and whom Jo would eventually marry. Not too long after the two settled down in a cul de sac, Theodore was sired. Though Jo had hoped that he would turn out more like his mom, he did inherit some of their strangeness, which began to manifest when he was around three, when he accidentally started creating portals in his nursery.

His parents decided that it would be best to forego school until he had a control over his power, and for the next five years was homeschooled by Jo, while Sara worked full-time as a nurse. It is through his parent that he learned to draw upon the ambient energy and how to control his portals. They also regaled him with stories of their past, of their kin and the family they left behind. Though he loves his parents dearly, his childhood was also dreadfully lonely, as Theo didn't have any friends around his age. When he did finally enter school, he felt constantly ostracized and estranged from many of the other children, as most already had friendships of years while he had no one. Aside from this, his childhood was fairly regular. Middle school was a different story and Theo eventually found a friend in the form of [NAME]. The two grew to be as thick as thieves, and they remain Theo's best friend to this day.

Despite his powers, superhero'ing was never something Theo really considered. Throughout his life, his parents had impressed upon him the great importance of keeping his head down and to not draw attention to himself. And for the first 21 years, Theodore did exactly that. He studied hard, faded into a background of white noise, and began pursuing a degree in photography at a local community college. However, the Void Queen's invasion and subsequent destruction of the entire team of Guardians shook his beliefs to the core. The world needed someone to pick up the pieces -- and Theodore could do that. He began his hero'ing shortly after, adopting the mantle of "Rift". He's an amateur hero and it shows, but Theo prefers to focus less on fighting and more on saving people. His parents both know about this, and although they don't necessarily like it, they have given him their blessing, and in Jo's case; something more. A relic from their past, a weapon that can help him channel his power and protect himself.

[Ghostiiys]

Name: Anastasia Perez

Appearance:

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Russian/PuertoRican

Age: 22

Height: 5'4

Costume:

Hero Name: Banshee

Arch Nemesis: Phantasm

Personality: A rather affable woman, Ana is easy to talk to. But only on a surface level as many people mention how little they really know about her. Maybe it's her domineering personality that makes it hard for other people to approach her on a deeper level. Or maybe it's the fact that she comes off as fairly pompous. Anastasia is a complex individual in general, full of contradictions. On one hand, she appears to be well-mannered and well-spoken. Someone who can calm people with her presence, but on the other hand, she is quick to pick fights, views herself better than people with no powers, and prefers to work alone.

Background: Born out of wedlock, Anastasia grew up in the foster care system until she was legally an adult. Her life was fairly tough as at a young age she realized how powerful her voice was and in a way, it hindered her prospects to get adopted. No one wanted a troubled child who could destroy their house with one temper tantrum, and the orphanage she lived at she was forcefully gagged unless she had to eat. She does not like to recall her childhood.

Once she became 15 she ran from her home and lived in the streets homeless. Selling drugs and stealing provided her some income to live off of, and any resistance she encountered by police was insignificant to her. Many police would leave said altercations with ruptured eardrums and left permanently deaf. It seemed like Ana's life was on the decline into villanhood until she was picked off the street by a man who put her through school and college and trained her to strengthen her powers while teaching her how to defend herself.

Unfortunately, this man harbored a dark secret in which ripped apart their bond and left Anastasia vowing revenge on him. Marking him as her Arch Nemesis for life.

Super Power: Sonic Scream - An ability that involves Siren's voice to generate an extremely powerful scream of high amplitude from her vocal cord and mouth, typically for offensive purposes, like causing destruction.

Spoiler: Examples of Sonic scream

Trivia: Her favorite color is Pink

 

[am3thyst.]

Name: Avery Chapman
Appearance:

Gender: Female
Race/Species: Caucasian (English)
Age: 21
Height: 5”8
Costume:

Hero Name: Dusk
Arch Nemesis: Silver Angel
Personality: Avery’s personality can run very hot or cold. On one hand she is a hero through and through, with a righteous cause and a strong belief in good over evil, she’s an outgoing, confident girl with no problem speaking her mind . On the other hand, a part of her is quite cold and withdrawn, the bit that she doesn’t like others to see. Half of her feels like she never really got the chance to grow up and the moody, teenager aspect of her still lingers. On top of that, a bitter aspect, a jaded side to her that stems from all the wrong she’s witnessed and hardships she’s been through.
Background: Avery grew up in Hertfordshire, England, near London with her mother. She was raised solely by her mother with the identity of her father remaining mysterious. It was a modest childhood, her mother worked as a primary school teacher but her spare time was dedicated to Avery’s education and wellbeing. Avery considered her life to be almost perfect, she had good friends, hobbies and family, then on her fifteenth birthday tragedy struck.
When her and her mother arrived home from a day out they were attacked in their home by two supernatural beings. Although their motives were unclear the situation stirred something inside Avery, her powers were briefly unleashed and sent the two perpetrators running. But it was already too late, her mother was dead and Avery’s world was flipped upside down. She was sent to live with her grandparents and devoted the next six years of her life to honing her abilities and training herself in any form of self defence that she could. Eventually she adopted the mantle of ‘Dusk’ , moved to London and, keeping her identity anonymous, began fighting injustice wherever she saw it and investigating her mother’s death.
Super Power: Psychic energy manipulation: she can create, shape and manipulate psychic energy in various ways, including manifesting in material form. Control is extremely important as unconscious use of her power can be dangerous. It also depends heavily on her energy levels and mental state.

[Gaius Danius Griinia]

Name: Ryker Riley
Appearance:

Gender: Male
Race/Species: Human
Age: 20
Height: 175cm
Costume:

Hero Name: Black Arachnid II
Arch Nemesis: Stray Sheep

Personality: Ryker is both sardonic and sarcastic. He doesn't mince words and never fails to express his opinions on things. Despite this, he has a strong sense of responsibility. Although he believes himself an unfortunate victim of fate. He never hesitates to help those in need, both in and out of suit. Unable to get along with the majority of people. Ryker is somewhat of a lone wolf. This is simply because he is incapable of relating to most others. This has led him to deeply cherish the few bonds he does have. It also fills him with a sense of loneliness that he does his best to hide behind a facade of acerbic wit. Deep down, Ryker believes himself to be entirely unsuited to the role of Black Arachnid. The feelings inspired by the original are a burden that weighs him down every day. However he perseveres because he understands that Black Arachnid is a symbol for the people of his city.

Background: Ryker is the product of a marriage between two people for conveniences sake. His artist mother needed a steady spouse and his novelist father needed to provide a grandchild to his own parents. Despite this they always treated Ryker with affection. Growing up in a loving home. He found himself woefully untalented in either of his parents fields of expertise. Whether it was art, academics or sports. Ryker was painfully below average. This led to him developing a massive inferiority complex. Lashing out at the world rather than internalizing his pain. Ryker gained a reputation for being rude, forthright and unsociable. Having few friends throughout his life. Ryker often spent time alone with his thoughts. One day he was saved from a gang shootout by Black Arachnid. A hero beloved by the community for his fearless heroics and witty banter. He captured Ryker's attention every time he saw him swinging by. One day, Ryker was helping one of his elderly neighbors clean his tool-shed. Finding a strange looking spider creeping in a corner. He tried to safely release it into the wild. This led to the thing crawling up his shirt and biting the back of his neck. Hospitalized after falling into a comatose state. Ryker awoke a month later to discover not only was he perfectly fine, but Black Arachnid had been murdered. Over time, Ryker discovered he had developed abilities similar to the late hero. However he was reluctant to take action. All his life, he had failed to do anything meaningful. This inaction led to his father losing use of his legs after a bank robbery went wrong. Obtaining a suit from his neighbor Stan. Ryker became the second Black Arachnid...

Super Power:
After his transformation at the fangs of the mutant spider. Ryker has gained many of the same abilities as an arachnid. This includes things like producing webs, enhanced senses, wallcrawling, incredible reflexes, an increased healing rate and even a predator sense.

[Qrowlis]

Here's my shady doctor-man! He'll be a NPC who shows up eventually, possibly resuming his old role of team doctor. (:

Name: Dr. Ciaran Foust. Most people tend to call him "Doc" or Dr. Foust.
Age: 38, though you'd be hard-pressed to say he looks it.
Gender: Male.
Nationality: Irish.

Appearance:
Height: 6'1. (He slouches though, so it's hard to tell.)

Costume: N/A.
Hero Name: N/A.
Arch Nemesis: N/A
Super Power: Ask Ciaran and he'll tell you he has some flavour of regeneration power, allowing him to heal with just a touch. In reality, his ability is far more complicated -- and powerful -- than he lets on. He possesses a minor form of time manipulation, which allows him to rewind time on an object/person and return it to any state it was in within the last 24 hours. In order to properly use his ability, Ciaran requires three things: contact, concentration, and time. The further back the something occurred, the longer it takes to restore. It requires his utmost focus in order to continuously rewind something, something which he is generally pretty good at, but would prefer not to do under immense pressure. Additionally, Ciaran can undo his rewinds with just a touch, but generally avoids doing so, as healing someone and then immediately un-healing them is pretty rude. Most people have no idea that his "healing touch" isn't a healing power at all, as he goes through great lengths in order to hide it.

Personality: Ciaran is a calm and composed person. He prides himself on being able to keep a levelheaded approach at all times. He rarely raises his voice, but when he speaks, people turn their heads to listen. One could say Ciaran holds a fascination with superpowers, believing them to be the next stage of human evolution, and seeks to understand the cause. If Ciaran were to embody a phrase, it would be this: "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back." He is willing to go to great lengths for his goals and has the drive to accomplish them. This isn't to say Ciaran is without flaws. Money talks and he's easily swayed by it. There are times when he has difficulty understanding when things go too far. (WIP. To be honest, I'm not entirely satisfied with his personality, so it's subject to change.)

Background: Dr. Ciaran Foust is an Irish geneticist, who moved to the United States in order to pursue a degree in biology at a prestigious university. After completing his masters, Ciaran went on to stay in the states for work. As a geneticist, he was especially interested in the theories of superpower enhancement and the possible connections to DNA, believing that many superpowers were the result of some mutation in the genes. His studies were widely applauded by the scientific communities, and to his surprised, attracted the attention of the Guardians of Justice. Or, well, one Guardian in particular. Aegis, a telekinetic who could manipulate the world around him with just a thought. Aegis was extremely interested in Ciaran's theory that superpowers could be enhanced and offered to fund the creation of a serum that could do just that.

It was the opportunity Ciaran had been waiting his whole life for. With Aegis' endless support and complete control over the project, Ciaran ended up synthesizing a prototype after a few years. Though ultimately the serum, dubbed SE-017, was capable of enhancing the abilities of some people, the side-effects greatly outweighed the rewards. Dizzy spells, external bleeding, addiction -- even the eventual loss of superpowers was possible. The results were horrifying. It was frustrating, but Ciaran was determined to try again. Unbeknownst to him, Aegis had stolen some of his samples and was secretly using it behind the scenes, distributing it to some of the other Guardians.

When Ciaran found out, the situation became very messy. During the duration of the project, Ciaran and Aegis had become extremely close, and eventually started dating. Aegis had introduced him to the rest of the team, sometime after Ciaran had revealed his healing abilities and had become something of a on-call doctor for the team whenever they got into fights. His relationship with the Guardians of Justice was never made public, all the world knew was that they had someone to patch them up, and Ciaran was content with that. But the stolen serum was the straw that broke the camel's back. Though Ciaran continued to lend his services to the team, he and Aegis broke up, and his cordial relationship with some of the guardians became strained. He also shut down the serum project immediately. Though he never truly forgave Aegis for what he did, Ciaran continued to love him in the following years. In part, it's why he continued to play doctor for the Guardians.

Losing them was a huge blow. He retired from the limelight of the scientific shortly after, citing personal reasons. He now mostly stays in his modest apartment in (WHATEVER CITY THIS IS HAPPENING IN), living off whatever funds he's accumulated over the years.

Trivia:
He owns two cats, Moxie and Crow. He loves both dearly.
Probably currently super heartbroken.
