Appearance:
Avatar is a handsome, yet rugged-looking man in his mid 30's, weighing about 160 lbs. Most women notice his
thick, sandy hair, which sets off his deep blue eyes. A slight scar crosses his chin, hinting at an adventuresome
past. In the field, Avatar wears a white shirt, tan slacks, and an ever-present bush hat. In the classroom, his
tastes run to tweed suits with elbow patches. No matter what the situation, he usually looks ready for anything,
which is fortunate because when he's in the field, just about anything can and does happen!
Personality:
Avatar is generally soft-spoken and charismatic. He is not above dealing with shady types in pursuit of some goal,
but he prefers other company. Likewise, he is willing to bend the rules so long as the outcome is respectable, but
generally he is a law-abiding man. However, when he perceives some great injustice, he is an implacable foe of
whoever or whatever is perpetrating the deed, stopping at nothing to set things right. Avatar has a soft spot for
children, underdogs, and the oppressed. He is quite sensitive to the customs and attiudes of other cultures, which
has served him in good stead during his many travels in the world.
Background:
To most of the world, Dr. Henry Johnson is a university professor who is the author of a popular series of books
on the history of ancient civilizations, hardly a best-selling author, but one who is known among afficiandos of
the subject. They know little of the scholar who supplements his income as chair of the history department of a
small but highly regarded east coast university.
Fellow academics know him as a leading authority middle eastern history, although he is also known for being quite
knowledgable about burial customs and religious practices of ancient civilizations all over the world. He has many
refereed articles to his credit, and is widely quoted in such studies. Although they know him better than the
general public, his fellows in the halls of ivy have barely scratched the surface of the man.
Those who know him well enough to call him "Hank" are aware of his incredible personal history. No one knows all
of it save the good doctor himself, but by piecing together various stories a picture emerges of the son of two
scholars, who became very worldly at a tender age by being dragged all around the world in his parent's pursuit of
knowledge. Although near to completing an undergraduate degree while still a teen, he ran off on a series of
adventures, each more outlandish than the last, until he ended up as an intelligence officer working for the CIA,
the Mossad, and the KGB simultaneously...a true triple agent! Part Indiana Jones and part McGyver, he finished
both his undergraduate and graduate degrees (with a paper relating early Coptic burial practices to those of
ancient Assyria nearly a millennia earlier!) about the same time he "retired" from the spy business.
Since then, he split his time between writing, teaching classes, and criss-crossing the globe as a "purveyor of
antiquities". No tomb is too well hidden, no jail too escape-proof, and most importanly, no patron too penurious
to keep him from his goal. A remarkable life for a remarkable man...one whose unique talents would probably
qualify him for the resolutes even if it were not for the unsettling events of 12-31-99. Few know the measure of
"Hank", indeed.
And fewer still know him as Avatar. For the eve of the close of the millenium found him deep in the Rub al Kali -
the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia, his whereabouts unknown to the local authorities, who would not have approved of
either his plans to loot a centuries-old pagan temple uncomfortably close to their holy city of Mecca, or of the
bottle of champagne he planned to drink at midnight in the main chamber of that very temple. But as he began video
taping the murals and writings on the wall of that chamber, still legible after over 2,000 years, tiny motes of
dust began to glow with an unearthly light and coalesce into billowing luminescent forms. He couldn't have known,
deep underground, that the millenial comet was passing directly overhead at that very moment, the very moment when
a deep booming voice inside his head began to speak. The voice spoke to him of duty, of honor, of justice, of a
hundred other things. It spoke to him of things he remembers and of things he has forgotten but will remember one
day. It spoke until sleep took him, and he woke only to find himself laying in the sands outside the entrance
under the burning sun of a new desert day.
Dr. Johnson couldn't have known what strange power had infused his being that day, but he found out soon enough.
Passing through the streets of old Jerusalem, he encountered a suicide bomber for the second time in his life.
Only this time, he was close enough to remember the odd grin the young man next to him had just before he
disappeared in a sheet of flame. The bomber, Johnson, and several others were blown to bits by the savage blast.
The survivors were evacuated, and the authorities began the laborious process of cataloging debris, personal
effects, and human remains. A few hours after the horror had taken place, one investigator remarked how unusual it
was to find an intact corpse so close to the epicenter of the bombing, and his partner remarked that "it wasn't
there not too long ago." They moved up to take a closer look, and were shocked to find Dr. Johnson, badly injured
and clad only in tattered underwear, slowly regaining consciousness! Ever since, his closest friends have taken to
calling him Avatar...the one chosen as the servant of the gods.
Notes:
Most of Avatar's traits come from simply being a intelligent and capable man thrust into the middle of some very
unusual circumstances. For example, his computer skills come partly from his work in academia, and partly from
times when it became advantageous to discern the contents of the hard drives of a Russian "Apple" computer. Avatar
is a crack shot with a pistol, and not only started carrying, but became proficient with a whip after suffering
the inevitable Indiana Jones comparisons.
Of note are those specific traits that appeared after his encounter in the lost temple of Arabia. These powers
derive from the symbiosis of Johnson and the "spirit motes" that appeared to him there. These are apparently a
host of infinitesimal intelligent incorporeal entities who seem to have taken it upon themselves to ensure that
Johnson is able to fulfill the destiny given to him by whatever Power or Powers control the motes. These beings
infuse Johnson's physical person, and "live inside" him, if an incorporeal being can be said to reside in any
location at all. So long as some part of Johnson's corporeal body and the spirit motes remain together, all the
traits they give him will be present. How they might be separated is a matter of speculation, but suggestions have been
to utterly atomize Johnson's remains, to render Johnson incorporeal himself, or to perform some sort of "exorcism" to
drive the spirit motes out. Until such problem is resolved, Avatar will remain damnably hard to kill...at least, permanently,
that is.
Traits granted by the motes include:
Constitution points above 10
The Uncanny Dodge feat (the motes provide the awareness that Johnson is in danger...)
Both the Healing and Regeneration powers
Defense Bonus above +10 (possibly more of the defense bonus, too)

DESCRIPTION
Spoiler:
George is a dwarf and has achondroplasia (an excellent resource about this is found here http://www.lpaonline.org/resources_faq.html. He is 4'5" and weighs 170 lbs, and extremely well muscled from years of pumping iron. He has red hair that he wears back combed and big bushy sideburns coming into his mustache. His eyes are green.[/b]
HISTORY
Spoiler:
History Born in 1970 in the Dogtown neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, George has always been the butt of jokes because of his small size. As a result George developed a taste for lifting weights during high school. Encouraged by his high school gym coach
he joined the wrestling team and became a star, although this did little to help his popularity. Given this as a background, it has always seemed like bad luck has followed George (although until the comet appeared these events were coincidence, not the result of any power). His father frequently was laid off even though he was a hard worker. His only sibling, a brother named Ray, perished after running after a ball George had overthrown while they were playing catch and being hit by a car. Following this event, George's mother had become mentally unstable and has been in and out of mental institutuions since he was a young boy.
He drifted throughout the years following high school doing odd jobs that included rodeo clown, working the boats that run the Mississippi, and even a stint at the Anheuser-Busch brewery. George took up photography as a hobby and this led him to pursue a photojournalism degree at UMSL. It was during some freelance work getting shots of impending floods for the St. Louis Post Dispatch that George first realized a phenomena.
During a crisis situation where everything was bad, the bad forune that always followed George seemed to evaporate. George's work really caught the eye of the paper and soon he was specializing in that kind of coverage. As his reputation grew he was picked up by larger and larger papers and was following a trail of natural destruction. More and more George
found himself laying down his camera to help victims. He soon quit the jounalism business to work with an international disaster aid organization. George has travelled and worked extensively in the third world.
At some point, George started to take up martial arts and go on monastic retreats to decompress from all the misery that began to make up his daily life. Sometime after the comet appeared, George began to notice that while he was a fine athlete before, he had started to gain immense physical abilities. The bad luck that seemed to follow him intensified, often resulting in terrible things happening even during disasters. George took a leave of absence and sought out master's throughout India and Asia who might help him harness these abilities. George finally learned to control his abilities after four years of training with different masters,and had recently returned to disaster relief. While working the earthquake of Los Angeles, George saw the Resolutes help many people using their unconventional abilities. George began to wonder if the odd things he was able to do might not be put to better use.

Appearance:
Unfortunately, William looks a bit like his namesake. His mouth is just a LITTLE bit too wide, and his eyes bulge a bit (picture Steve Buscemi). His hair is thin, and then there's the thing with his tongue and rubbery skin. Other than that, he is slightly shorter and stockier than average. He is in his early twenties
Personality:
After getting ze powers (ehm...), William has gone from being a shy and reserved boy to an occasionally annoying motormouth.Mostly, he can keep it in check and is merely very talkative. The life as a resolute is new to him, and he might revert to his old behavior if pressed by a large mob of people (press conference, anyone?). However, he has no shame for his recent career as a vigilante (even though it was technically a career of crime).
Background:
William grew up in a middle class home in London, England. Even before mutating, he looked a bit like a toad. This made him a prime target for the less nice kids, so he mostly kept to himself, studying and reading comics. His favourite was about "The Toad", a misshapen vigilante fighting the criminals of his city despite being an outcast from normal society. Things went on like this. William got good grades and finally graduated from high school in 2002.
That was when his powers surfaced. They came gradually, and to some extent are still evolving, but by winter 2002, the Toad was prowling the alleys of London for real, helping with the capture of many thugs, and even a few minor superpowered villains. (It is not wise to ask him about The Giant Fly, he'll go on for hours about that one.)
He kept up the vigilante life for three years, until he was caught by the police. There were... charges against him by then. Fortunately for him, he was merely sentenced to be supervised by the Resolutes. And that's where he is now...
Notes:
Yes, Toad is kind of ripped from X-Men 1. Now that that's said:
William is basically a toad totem, with a bunch of skills and feats tossed in from his vigilante career. He has a history of "street-level" crimefighting, and that's where is best suited. Up against supervillains, he would fall back to a support position, harrassing the enemy with his tongue.
The flaw on elongation might not be 100% core, but it's a start. Ideas?
Yes, he is versatile. Do shoot me down if you think he is too much so.
Does the "community service deal" work? It can be changed rather easily, for sure.

Appearance:
Nick is a large bald man who stands around 6' 6". The breadth of his shoulders and chest are akin to an great African gorilla. His heavily muscled arms end in huge shovel-like hands which can easily envelope a pool ball and crush it into powder.
Background:
Nick Rhodes was a very tough individual well before the Comet made him metahuman. Born to an poor unwed mother. He grew up the only white kid in the Projects of Campaign City. He had to learn to defend himself at an early age and eventually garnered the respect and fear of the local thugs. Despite his surroundings Nick enjoyed reading often and scored very well on IQ tests. However he dropped out of school at 16, and after some years of being hired "muscle", he became a bouncer to the local strip clubs. He entered and won several toughman competitions and even was awarded "World's Toughest Bouncer" 3 years in a row.
His metahuman abilities came upon him gradually, he might not have ever known he had them save for an accident where he was hit by a bus. When the bus turned out somewhat worse then he did, it didnt take Nick long to figure things out.
Notes:
Roughneck can take one hell of a beating. The Subtle feat on his Protection makes it appear less obvious that he is unhurt. Stab Roughneck, he bleeds, beating him leaves bruises, he just appears to shake it off and keep going, ignoring all injuries. Nick's strength and size however are all his, naturally. His only meta-abilities are his unholy toughness.

History-John is from the Kewenaw Peninsula of Upper Michigan. As such he has a deep "Fargo" sounding accent. As a promising young prospect in the Detroit Red Wings farm system his powers manifested while taking a devastating body check into the boards. The image of him growing to thirty feet in size was captured on film and soon broadcasted on all the major networks. He had been working in the Great Lakes region, responding to threats in Chicago, Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Detroit, his adopted city. He took part in a highly televised battle with the Japanese assassin, Bullet Train. He was overmatched but was aided by local folk hero Shadow. The two heroes managed to stop the assasination of Mayor Kilpatrick, and have become local celebrities. Soon afterward he was recruited into the Resolutes, under the agreement that he could spend most of his time in the Great Lakes, and be on call for larger missions where the UN needs help. When not working with Resolutes, he often works with Shadow

Reason: Updated history to add more NPCs,flavor
Jeanine Travis, age 26, is a stunningly attractive woman - tall and athletic with long black hair and deep blue eyes. She is warm and friendly, always looking out for others and willing to lend a hand. She is more perceptive than brainy, more intuitive than calculating.
Jeanine was raised in upstate New York in a middle-class household, her father running a small electronics store and mother working a variety of part time retail jobs after the children were in school. She has two brothers and a sister, all older and all now married with families.
Jeanine attended Penn State University, eventually settling on a major in Political Science. She never had a passionate drive for any one specific career, but rather was mostly interested in doing work that would allow her to interact with others and perhaps do some good in the world. Degree in hand, she landed a job working for the State Department in Washington, DC, in a liason position between her department and the Pentagon. While not nearly as exciting as it might sound, Jeanine liked the job and got to meet many interesting people in both departments. Her good looks and knack for knowing how to deal with people allowed her to cut though a fair amount of red tape, leading to a quick promotion and good work reviews.
Following the passing of the comet, work picked up considerably. There was a constant buzz between nations on how to deal with the new super humans - everything from tracking, rules for traveling internationally, and so on. Jeanine had no personal opinion on most of the issues - the supers were a mixed bag, deserving of the same treatment under the law as anyone else.
A couple years after starting the job in DC, Jeanine was back at her parents' house for the holidays. The extended family celebrated Christmas and then her parents left for a long-awaited vacation in Hawaii. Jeanine had graciously agreed to house-sit their dogs while they were gone.
Late on a bitterly cold, snowy night, Jeanine received a frightening phone call. Her grandmother, who lived only a short drive away, was gasping into the receiver, pleading for help. She raced through town as quickly as she could on the snowy streets, calling 911 along the way. She managed to beat the police there and found the front door ajar. Inside, the house appeared to have been thoroughly ransacked. Her grandmother was on the kitchen floor, unconscious, bruised and bleeding.
Jeanine was able to revive her grandmother, though only for just a few moments. "Jeanie, dear," she said. "They wanted the cookie jar. I wouldn't talk, though. They never found it. Take it; keep it safe. It's your responsibility now."
Bewildered, Jeanine looked up on the counter for the cookie jar that had always been there. It was gone. Only a collection of empty soda cans occupied the counter top. "But Gran, it's gone!"
"No dear," she said. "All the stories I told you about that cookie jar, the ones my Gran told me about the magic...they're true! The jar was too clever to be stolen. It's the Big Red." And with that, her grandmother lapsed back into unconsciousness.
The police and ambulance arrived moments later, and Jeanine busied herself with answering the officer's questions and getting her grandmother safely off to the hospital. To Jeanine's relief, her grandmother wasn't in too bad of shape - a few lacerations and a concussion. Jeanine waited out the night at her Gran's side, pondering the strangeness about the cookie jar.
As a young child, Gran had told Jeanine and her siblings fantastic tales about the magical things that could be pulled from the cookie jar. Truly, it was a strange artifact in the house - a metallic container with red lacquer patterns and gold trim. Jeanine and the others always laughed at the stories of how Gran's grandma used to pull snowstorms and snakes from the jar in order to get out of going to school. Of course, there was always a cookie or two at the end of the tale.
Jeanine assumed that it must have been stolen, perhaps having some antique value, and that her Gran was suffering delusions from the concussion. Beating up an old woman for a trinket, however, seemed excessive, particularly in the quiet neighborhood in which she lived. With the doctors' assurances that her grandmother was in good condition and resting well, Jeanine decided to go check over the house.
She started in the kitchen, looking for the cookie jar. The empty can of Big Red soda, tucked in among several other empty cans, seemed to draw her attention. Jeanine reached out for it and as her hand made contact, it transformed back into the cookie jar that she had grown up knowing. She gasped and jumped back, only retaining some degree of composure due to the all the super human stories she’d heard over the last couple years.
Jeanine cautiously touched the jar again. On a whim, she imagined a coffee can, and it instantly matched her mental image. Then she pictured her favorite purse, and again it transformed. A little bit of experimentation later, she concluded that it could change into almost any type of smallish container that she could imagine: can, jar, box, bag, purse, and so on.
With it back in the familiar cookie jar shape, she peered inside. It was disappointingly empty. After a moment, however, the inside grew foggy, then coalesced into an image of her grandmother lying in the hospital bed. A nurse was standing beside her, checking blood pressure.
Jeanine was fascinated with the cookie jar’s powers. She tried to picture her parents and was confused by the darkness it displayed, until she realized that Hawaii was still in the middle of the night. She pictured her sister, her office back in DC, and several other places – each appearing instantly and in perfect detail.
With the jar posing as her purse, Jeanine returned to her grandmother’s side. Gran told all she knew of the jar, but it was little more than the tales her own grandmother had passed down. Gran had never known it to have real powers and she had no idea who would know of it and try to steal it.
Gran insisted that Jeanine keep the jar. The two of them spent some time exploring its powers and trying to determine its origins and very reason for existence. Few answers were forthcoming, but they grew much closer for their efforts.
In the year since, Jeanine has developed a small paranoid streak. She’s worried that someone in the government will learn of Pandora’s Box, as she and her grandmother eventually came to call former cookie jar. When the Resolutes started recruiting, Jeanine decided to give them a shot and try to use the box’s powers for good…under a secret identity, of course. She figured it would be safer to be proactive in deciding how to use it rather than risk letting some darker part of the government decide for her.

DESCRIPTION
Konrad is of average height and weight. He has long brown hair that is greying. He sports a small goatee also greying. He typically wears a stylish white long coat and white gloves with a black suit underneath. While he doesn't like violence he has been carrying a pistol for protection ever since coming to the United States several years ago.
His brother Ben is slightly taller and were he still alive had a much darker, healthier complexion, he is however dead. Not that that stops him from bonding with his elder brother. Ben has become a ghost who haunts Konrad often occupying the same body. While seperated Ben is a whispy figure with equally long hair that is thin.
HISTORY
Konrad and Ben, brothers and doctors, they had both moved together to New York City from their homes in Hamilton, Ontario after having completed univerity. Both top of their class, Konrad a heart surgeon and Ben a psychiatrist the two enjoyed life best of friends.
On Christmas 1999, the two of them were at a huge function in a fasionable neighbourhood in NY. Ben, tired of the falscity of the function and wanting to be with family decided to leave early, hoping his brother would follow. Konrad was getting somewhere with the woman he was speaking to and waves off his brother not really expecting he would leave. Ben skulked out, sad on Christmas. As he walked down the street a drunk driver skiped a curb and plowed into him, driving him into the wall of the building just outside. Konrad was unable to save his brother that day, 6 days later Ben dies in the hospital.
That night a comet wrapped the world in a cloak of evolution, warping some and healing others. Konrad woke to find his hands scarred completely. Heading to the hospital in pain he tripped over a patient just rushed in with a knife wound. He felt a sudden heat as his hand passed over the man's cut and the wound closed immediately, the man totally healed.
For the next two or three years Konrad kept his ability secret, experimenting, working hard to both use his powers and not reveal them. He was worried that sometimes his skills while one of the leading surgeons in the world, were unequal to some of the patient's that came across his way. Subtle uses honed he was able to heal small wounds to help the greater surgeries he preformed.
When news started coming out about supers, he knew that he was one. He watched as prejudice and persecution followed especially after that incident in Switzerland. In one particularly difficult case where a patient had been hit by a car, Konrad stood by as the man died. Something struck a nerve right then and he rushed to the man's side and brought him back, resurrected the man.
That night wandering in the dark drizzle his tears mingled with the rain as he dwelled on his brother's death. Did he have the power then? Could he have actually saved his brother? Questions swirled as his mind wandered. Out of the blue a mugger came at him and finding him unresponsive knocked Konrad to the ground waving a gun at the stunned doctor. Konrad watched as Ben reached out from inside Konrad's own body and took the mans hand throwing it back.
"Brother?" Ben whispered in Konrad's head.
From that point on he had his brother back. Ben had become a ghost, bonded to his brother ever since that fateful night. It was the attack on Konrad that sparked Ben's transformation or rather manifestation, where it had been Ben's death that had awakened Konrad's.
The two worked together for three months helping those in need, healing people and resurrecting a few car accident victims. A simple white letter on high impact paper was delivered in a plain blank envelop to their door.
Task Force HQ, Kingston, NJ.
Recruited by the Resolutes when discovered that they was raising car accident victims killed by drunk drivers, the brothers have been given a chance to use their powers in larger profile cases, joining the Resolutes to counter the attacks by supers on the innocent populace.

DESCRIPTION Martin Reinstatler has become the monster the press has dubbed Carrion. He is around 9 feet when standing straight up, but he seems to carry himself in a feral hunch. His head is long and basically vulture-like in shape. He possesses a hard, chitinous beak filled with pointy, irregularly placed teeth that are visible when he closes his snout. His eyes are dull black and inexpressive like a shark's eyes. His head leads to a sinewy neck that runs into a hard carapace-covered torso. Thin and boney, Carrion's body is basically humanoid but hard to the touch. His legs are goat-like, hooved and covered with a greasy pelt of fur. His arms are human-like in shape, but long and thin. Carrion has a long reptilian tail that he tends to drag behind him. He also possesses a pair of strange wings, both bat-like but also possessing oddly-placed dirty feathers as well. His body is covered with a dull-gray leathery skin, with tuffs of hair, scales and thorny growths sprouting in odd places. He is the embodiment of ugly, possessing the features of many creatures in odd and unnatural ways. Carrion wears no clothes but displays no visible gender-specific features. His voice low-pitched growl and high-pitched birdcall simultaneously, as if two different voices spoke at the same time.
HISTORY MArtin Reinstatler was an average kind of man before the events at the end of 1999. He was a web-designer of no real distinction, living comfortably working on a freelance basis. After the passing of the comet, Martin started feeling a strange itching of his skin. Thinking it nothing, he ignored it for several years, thinking it might be a minor allergy he developed or sensitivity to a specific detergent. When the itching areas started turning a dull gary color. MArtin went to a dermatologist, whom was unable to offer any explanation. The condition grew worse, spreading quickly. Martin became a shut-in as things grew worse. His girlfriend left him and his friends have up on him as he descended into self-induced hermitage. One day, he woke up to find he had emerged from a coccoon that used to be his old body. He was now a horrible monster, revolting to behold and possessing a desire to eat rotting flesh. Martin fled his home, finding his ability to fly as natural as walking. He found a some rotten roadkill and found himself devouring it without thinking. Of course, something like this does not go unnoticed and the creature that was Martin Reinstatler was dubbed Carrion.
Now, a year later. Carrion has put his life together again. After a painful transition period, Martin has gotten some of his life back together. Since he owns his house and has broken no laws, he remains an employed designer working from home. His neighbors and friends were obviously shaken up by his transformation but most of them grew used to it. With all the weird events happening, Martin's situation was unusual but not unknown. Now that he has relearned to live life as Martin Reinstatler, Carrion (unfortunately the name stuck) is looking to see what help he can provide to the Resolutes. He can feel the incredible strength he possesses, but has yet to really test it.

FL: Source (-1) The Immunity to Fortitude Saves, 8 of the Super Strength, all the Regeneration, The Super Senses, and the Burrowing ar e lost unless Circe is in contact with the ground (i.e. not flying, thrown in the air, swimming, etc).
PF: Subtle--the ring is subtle, and it isn't obviously what is providing the power. Still, it can easily be disarmed by anyone who knows what it is, or just guesses

Alternate Device 23 with Morph 1 (3 PP/ Rank Device + 1 PP / Rank Morph = 70)
Name: Diamond of Eris
The Diamond can Morph itself only into any sort of unassuming-looking object, including a golden apple. However, its true power is the ability to bend space, allowing Sierra to Teleport and Rebound any attacks near her if she channels her own energy into the gem
Device--The Diamond provides 115 PP of powers, which are spent on Deflect 10 (8 PP/ Rank) and Teleport 8 (2 PP / rank + 3 Power Feats) and Strike 10 (1 PP / rank + 5 Power Feats), with the last point paying for the Alternate Blast 10 (3 PP / rank + 4 Power Feats) that replaces Teleport and Strike.
Deflect's base PP / Rank is 3 because it deflects all melee and ranged attacks, including mental attacks
EX: Action 3 (Sierra can Deflect attacks as a free action)

EX: Reflection (When Sierra successfully Deflects an attack, it rebounds on the originator)

PF: Easy (Sierra is not disoriented or flat-footed after Teleporting)
PF: Turnabout (Sierra can Teleport, make a standard action, and then Teleport away)
PF: Accuratex5 (Sierra's strike distorts space to make it preternaturally accurate and powerful)
PF: Dimensional (Sierra's Spatial Blast affects targets in other dimensions)
PF: Affects Insubstantial (Sierra's Spatial Blast affects targets that are insubstantial)
PF: Indirect (Sierra's Spatial Blast originates around the victims, so it ignores cover and the like)
PF: Extended Range (Sierra's Spatial Blast has a range increment of 250 feet)
(GM Hint Note: Don't want Sierra teleporting during a certain part of the adventure? That's cool--just have someone nab the diamond. It's a Device for a reason, I won't mind)

Name: Lesser Polyglot
Sierra knows the following four languages--English, French, Spanish, Japanese. This is the same as if she had spent Skill Points except that it is an enhanced trait, so she can use Extra Effort to learn more languages, and it can be nullified by things that nullify powers.

Name: Men to Beasts

Illusions affect all senses
If the illusions attack, they automatically hit, DC 16 Toughness Save. The attacks can be melee or ranged, depending on the illusion.
Circe and the illusions can understand and speak the languages of all intelligent creatures
EX: Action 1 (+10) Can maintain even an interactive illusion as a free action
PF: Selective 1 (+1) Only those Circe chooses are affected by the illusions
PF: Progression 9 (+9) The radius of Circe's illusion is 5000 feet

Controls Emotions with a DC 20 Will Save
Can also speak, read, and write all languages, plus speak with animals while this is active
EX: Duration 1 (+10) Duration of the Emotion Control is increased to Continuous

PF: Subtle 2 (+2) The fact that Circe is using this power is completely unnoticable
Fascinate as the Feat using Diplomacy, as a reaction--when this power is activated, her every word Fascinates any who hear her. The DC is equal to her skill check, which is either 1d20+30 or 1d20+22, depending on if they are of a species that finds her attractive.
Alternate: Blast 10 linked with Confuse 10 [Attack, Divine, partially Mental](5 PP/Rank Blast + 2 PP/Rank Confuse + 0 PP = 70 PP)
Name: Phantasmal Surge
Unleashes a roiling mass of phantasmal divine energy that engulfs all selected targets, assaulting them with illusions that confuse and confound them, makng it hard to discern reality from illusion.

Name: Caress of Eternal Bliss
Contact with Circe fills any target with feelings of intense pleasure that overload the target's mind and eventually leave the target in an intense rapturous stupor, their minds unable to contemplate anything but love, bliss, and devotion.
Nauseates those who touch or are touched by Circe Touch Attack +10 (or automatic if they touch her) who fail a Will Save DC 20.
Also lowers their Will save bonus by 10 using the same touch if they fail a Fortitude Save DC 20
Instills love in targets using the same touch and Will Save as the Nauseate effect.
EX: Aura 1 (+10) The Nausea affects any who touch or are touched by Circe once she activates this power. Activating the aura is a Free Action with a Sustained Duration
EX: Alternate Save [Will] 0 (+0) The Nausea effect causes an addictive craving to the pleasure that can only be overcome by force of will
PF: Accurate 5 (+5) Perhaps because of the aura that surrounds her whole body, the touch attack for Caress of Eternal Bliss is surprisingly accurate (+10 to hit)
PF: Reversible 1 (+1) The Nauseate effect can be ended on Circe's whims
EX: Aura 1 (+10) The Will Drain effect is also part of the same aura as the Nauseate
PF: Slow Fade 9 (+9) It takes 3 months for each point of Will save to come back unless the effect is somehow nullified before then

EX: Aura 1 (+10) The Emotion Control is also part of the same aura as Nauseate and Drain
EX: Duration 1 (+10) Emotion Control has the duration extended to Continuous
FL: Sense-Dependent [Touch] 1 (-10) Targets that lack a sense of touch cannot be affected by the Emotion Control portion of this power
FL: Limited [Love] 1 (-5) The Emotion Control is limited to love alone
Alternate: Telekinesis 24 (4 PP/Rank TK*10 + 3 PP/Rank TK*1 + 2 PP/Rank TK*13+1 = 70)

PF: Precise (+1) The Telekinesis can perform precise tasks

FL: Action 1 (-10) Full-Round Action to activate
Alternate Boost 69 (1 PP/Rank = 69)
Name: Empower Magic Device
Allows Sierra to use a selected number of mystic devices to which she is attuned
EX: Action 2--Free Action to Activate
FL: Limited (Selected Magical Devices)--this power only applies to devices that Sierra already owns and has attuned or else whenever the GM would like it to apply for plot reasons.
FL: Limited (One at a Time)--Unlike with normal Boost, where you can go around boosting lots of different things until Boost fades, Sierra can only Boost one Device at a time. Using Boost again immediately overrides the old boost, as her mystic energy link shifts
FL: Limited (Holds the Array or Total Loss)--Unlike with normal Boost, all the power is lost immediately if Sierra switches to a different Alternate Power
Diamond of Eris
Device 1 (3 PP/ Rank Device = 3)
Restricted 1 (Magic-users)
+2 Charisma
Danger Sense [Mystic]
Uncanny Dodge [Danger Sense]
Fully boosted
Name: Diamond of Eris
The Diamond can Morph itself only into any sort of unassuming-looking object, including a golden apple. However, its true power is the ability to bend space, allowing Sierra to Teleport and Rebound any attacks near her if she channels her own energy into the gem
Device--The Diamond provides 115 PP of powers, which are spent on Deflect 10 (8 PP/ Rank) and Teleport 8 (2 PP / rank + 3 Power Feats) and Strike 10 (1 PP / rank + 5 Power Feats), with the last point paying for the Alternate Blast 10 (3 PP / rank + 4 Power Feats) that replaces Teleport and Strike.
Deflect's base PP / Rank is 3 because it deflects all melee and ranged attacks, including mental attacks
EX: Action 3 (Sierra can Deflect attacks as a free action)
EX: Ranged (Sierra can Deflect attacks targeted at allies as well as herself with a range increment of 100 feet.
EX: Reflection (When Sierra successfully Deflects an attack, it rebounds on the originator)
PF: Change Velocity (Sierra can change velocity while teleporting, which can help avoid a nasty fall)
PF: Easy (Sierra is not disoriented or flat-footed after Teleporting)
PF: Turnabout (Sierra can Teleport, make a standard action, and then Teleport away)
PF: Accuratex5 (Sierra's strike distorts space to make it preternaturally accurate and powerful)
PF: Dimensional (Sierra's Spatial Blast affects targets in other dimensions)
PF: Affects Insubstantial (Sierra's Spatial Blast affects targets that are insubstantial)
PF: Indirect (Sierra's Spatial Blast originates around the victims, so it ignores cover and the like)
PF: Extended Range (Sierra's Spatial Blast has a range increment of 250 feet)
(GM Hint Note: Don't want Sierra teleporting during a certain part of the adventure? That's cool--just have someone nab the diamond. It's a Device for a reason, I won't mind)
Ring of Antaeus
Device 1 (3 PP/ rank = 3 PP)
Restricted 1 (Magic-users)
Enhanced Strength 2
Subtle (it isn't obvious that the ring is granting any benefits)
SOMETHING ELSE
Full Power
Enhanced Strength 22, Impervious Toughness 10, Attack Focus Melee/Ranged, Power Attack, Accurate Attack, Defensive Attack, All Out Attack, Immunity 41(Life Support, Fortitude Saves, and Critical Hits), Super Strength 23 [Trait], Regeneration 34 (added to the 1 she has, that's total), Super-Senses 4 (Tremoresense and Tracking[Tremorsense]), Burrowing 8 (22 + 10 + 11 + 4 + 26 + 19 + 17 + 2 + 4 = 115 PP)
Name: Ring of Antaeus
Grants Circe a surge of divine energy that gives her strength and immunity to weak attacks, as well as rapid regeneration. Much like the mythical Antaeus, a significant amount of this power is lost when she loses contact with the earth
FL: Source (-1) The Immunity to Fortitude Saves, 8 of the Super Strength, all the Regeneration, The Super Senses, are lost unless Circe is in contact with the ground (i.e. not flying, thrown in the air, swimming, etc).
EQUIPMENT
Beautiful dresses of various sorts, though she can just morph her clothes to whatever she wishes anyway

History
Magus was just an ordinary college student with an ordinary life...until he discovered something amazing during a trip to England. As a comet passed by overhead, he lost track of the others in his group, and wandered through the forest until he found a huge weathered oak. Resting by the oak, he was surprised to find himself sinking into the earth, and he fainted. When he awoke, he was in a strange...other place. It was full of magical items. It was totally cool! As an avid D&D player, he had always dreamed of something like this...that magic was real. He found a tall wizened staff, and upon doing so, it awoke, and whispered to him. Apparently, this was the secret hideaway of Merlin, who was trapped in the tree by the Temptress Nimue, never to escape. The staff told Magus that the young man had innate magical energy, and that is how the way here had opened to him. It invited him to use his power of imagination to train himself, as England's great Wizard could not be there to do so himself, and the world needed protection. Magus's imagination turned out to be very similar to the D&D games he loved so much, and thus most of the spells he mastered best are similar to D&D magic. He is still a bit reluctant, but he wants to help the world if he can.

Reason: Forgot to change the word "Skill" to word "Search"
Appearance:
Perfect wavy blonde hair, gleaming blue eyes, flawless smile, smooth, lightly bronzed skin. Handsome (as he likes to call himself) certainly does his best to live up to his name. He is just a hair under six feet tall, with a lean, well toned build. The most striking part of his appearance for those who know him is his two, perfectly normal arms. Most of the time he looks like a standard, if unusually good looking human in his mid twenties.
Personality:
Handsome is extremely cocky, and self-assured, as if you couldn't tell from his self-gifted nickname. Despite being full of himself, he is still a nice enough kind of fellow. Friendly and outgoing, with a ready smile for everyone. Quick to make friends and slow to anger. Always helpful, ready to lend a hand, or two, or a few hundred.
Background:
When the comet arrived, Aaron was a perfectly mundane college student, if still as handsome as ever. He was a charmer and a little bit of the scoundrel, but a bit lost as to where his life was going. College seemed like as good a delaying tactic as any.
Three years later, admidst all the hullabaloo over metahumans, Aaron made an unusual discovery about himself. He was in the school cafeteria when some oaf bumped into him, sending Aaron's plate flying. He deftly caught it and put it back on his tray. It wasn't until he sat down to eat that he realized he had still been holding the tray with both hands when he caught the plate. Having been hearing about all this superhuman stuff in the news, he decided to conduct a little experiment. Telekinesis perhaps? He placed a pencil on the table in front of him and focused his mind on it. Nothing. Tempted to just reach out and pick the damn thing up by hand after a while, he placed both hands on the table and refocused his mind. Then his nose itch and he reached up to scratch it. It was then, staring at both hands while scratching his nose with a third that Aaron realized he was different.
Practice made perfect and in time, Aaron realized his ability to have as many arms as he needed. He couldn't quite tell you where they went when he wasn't using them, or why x-rays didn't show them, or indeed why nobody ever seemed to notice unless he intentionally pointed out the fact that he had more than the usual two.
Since then he's graduated college, utterly failed to apply himself to anything, and ended up in the UN task force for lack of any better career options. In his spare time he likes to practice magic. . . no, not the real stuff, the old rabbit in the hat kind. Sure, it's not as impressive as being able to conjure demons from the abyss, but he still likes it.

DESCRIPTION
A stocky young man of Italian American ancestry, he almost always appears with a five o'clock shadow, which at first glance is what some people assume to be the origin of his codename. His frame, while no means a model's chiselled body, is that of a man used to hard physical labour. Likewise, he's not the most handsome hero around, but his quick charm and easy smile have won him quite a few female admirers.
HISTORY
Daniel DiCosta gew up in one of the poorer areas of Newark, one of the many folks who seemed to never catch a break, being constantly stepped on by the bigger guys – the corporations, organised crime, the cops. But his neighbourhood was a close-knit one, everyone looking after everyone else. Daniel wanted to give something back to his community, so as a young man he aimed to train in a profession. The arrival of the comet put paid to that – an initially unstable control of metal meant that his training was difficult at best, and a potentially lethal hazard at worst. It meant that he had to teach himself what he could, as a craftsman and otherwise. In that time, he set himself up as the champion of his neighbourhood, watching out for it's denizens and trying to clean the crime up off its streets. He's also used his powers to aid in its rejuvenation - erecting new buildings is a snap when a single man can lift 12 tons of steel.
Identity: Secret Place of Birth: Atlanta, GA Occupation: Substitute Teacher Marital Status: Widowed Known Relatives: Karen Barnes-Cooper (Wife; deceased), Jeffrey Cooper (Brother)
In 2001, while on a camping trip in the mountains of Tennessee, Brandon Cooper happened upon the site of a meteor landing. Filled with curiosity, he lifted the baseball-sized meteorite for a closer look, only to be irradiated by a sudden surge of energy.
Soon after, Brandon discovered that the accident had given him unnatural mental abilities. He decided to take a hand in the fight against crime and thus was born Intrepid. On the streets of Atlanta Intrepid began taking down criminals of all types.
2004 found Brandon in love. Karen Bares was a fellow teacher; young and full of life. Eight months after their first date Brandon and Karen married. Life was good, until…
Karen’s ex-boyfriend was a small-time drug runner named Frank Hawkins. One night, while dealing in a darkened alley, Hawkins saw Karen and her new husband as they exited a nearby restaurant. Hawkins recognized Brandon immediately as Intrepid, the local Super that had busted half his friends.
Frank Hawkins sold this information to mob guy Joseph Justalini. Justalini ordered that Brandon and his wife be killed. Brandon survived the attempt on his life. Unfortunately, Karen did not. Karen died in Brandon’s arms.
Intrepid tracked down Justalini, but before Intrepid could take him down, Justalini was shot and killed by Frank Hawkins as revenge for murdering Karen. Hawkins escaped capture.
Grieving over the woman he loved, Brandon retired from the world of crime fighting and threw himself into his work teaching History at an Atlanta Private Academy. But, then, one night while on his way home, Brandon was attacked by a costumed villain calling himself Speed Freak. During the confrontation, Brandon learned Speed Freak was really Frank Hawkins. Hawkins had gone out and found himself a source of super abilities so he could kill Intrepid, the man he blamed for the death of Karen; Hawkins one true love.
Pushing his abilities beyond their limits, Intrepid was able to defeat Speed Freak by completely wiping his memories. The extra effort left Intrepid himself unconscious. Brandon woke lying in a hospital bed, Major Neuworth at his side.
Intrepid soon became a member of The Resolutes. It is uncertain whether Speed Freak has yet to regain his memories.

Appearance:
Isabel is a stunning five foot six female of Spanish decent, she has long brown hair mixed with some red streaks of her own coloring preference and emerald green eyes. She is well built for her size due to the many years of military training she has been invovled with. Her naturally tan skin has also darkened somewhat do to the conditions which she has endured under the heat in Southwestern poriton of the country.
When wearing her spider stylized black armor, Isabel becomes a walking nightmare for just about anyone who lays eyes on her. The armor is spiked and modeled tight to her body for maximum mobility, it is a flex-stell alloy but painted black with a small logo of a dark red Tarantuala on the right shoulder. Her wrists have been infused with black manacles which cannot be removed -- save for removing her arms -- which normally have their small link chain hanging a foot off of each side. At will the chains drop to the ground and are ready to attack.
Personality:
Isabel is hellbent on finding out what happened to her husband, and what ultimatley caused his death. She is mostly uncaring as to what is going on around her at all times, as her focus always seems to be somewhere else and on something else. Since the experiments she has become untrusting of people that she does not know and has developed a cruel streak in her methods of interrogation. And since she can only depend upon herself, she has become quiet resourceful in what information she gathers and how she uses it.
Background:
Isabel Covas Callas was born in Los Angeles, CA in 1983 -- making her 23 years old -- in a Spanish speaking home. She grew up as most kids do, her parents struggling with jobs and bills her entire life, the lack of money lead to her decision to pay for her college by joining the Army. At the time of her arrival at Fort Bliss, Texas she was only 18 years old and ready to begin basic training with a hopeful exuberance that a teenager could have. It wasn't until after her first year on the base that she met the man of her dreams, Walter King, instantly the two had a bond that could not be broken -- they were married within the year.
It wasn't until her last couple of months in the Army that tragedy struck Isabel, in a strange accident Walter had been found dead in their home on the base. Next to him was a bottle of aspirin which he had taken in mix with another experimental drug called "Protroceend" and proved to be lethal. She had been unaware that Walter had been invovled in any sort of experiment or even taking the pills which was found in the initial blood work -- since then the report has been changed to simply "suicide". It was at this time that Isabel became very depressed and started looking for answers no matter who she asked or ticked off... during this point in time, she asked the wrong questions and one night was black bagged and taken to an unknown locatation.
She awoke to find herself with a hood over her head and manacled to a wall, much like you'd expect out of the Middle Ages. Her body ached from head to toe and eventually figured out that a number of needles had been injected into her body. Whatever else they had done to her is still unknown to her, however, she suddenly had a surge run through her body and when she awoke she began her re-education program. She never did see for whom she was working for, but the training went on and she was constantly reassured that she would be alright when it all ended, plus there was no fight given up by her due to some of the medication she was on, she was in a constant daze. By the end of a year's time she had learned to control the new weapons attached to her body in the form of the manacles which had been grafted to her bones. Other amazing abilities soon followed and she trained to hone them all.
Then things went bad... one night Isabel woke from a dream that invovled her late husband, Walter, in the dream he had warned her about what was being done to her and what she being trained for. She snapped out of her daze and used the black armor fitted to her body to escape... since that day, she has been on the run.

DESCRIPTION:
Hong appears as a fairly typical Chinese youth of about 17 years age. Well, except for the fact that he is all various tones grayish white and translucent due to being an incorporeal ghost. But other than that, pretty normal. ;-)
MAJOR (N)PCs:
Besides any team members on a mission...
Mr. & Mrs. Li: Hongs parents are clothing merchants in Hong Kong, China. Simple, traditionalists and superstitious describes them very well. They have disowned Hong as an evil spirit who has taken their son's form. They have even gone so far as to have him exorcised from their house and shop stall, and tell no one that they do not have to of the 'curse' that has befallen the family. Naturally Hong thinks this attitude sucks *ss. Bummer.
Shin Li: Hong's 14 year old brother who thinks its waaaay cool to have a ghost as an older brother, a lot better than having a live older brother in fact. Can get in bad trouble with mama (mom) and baba (dad) if they ever find him trying to communicate with the evil spirit. Wen helps with note passign and there is always email.
Mrs. Hu Li: Hong's Aunt who lives in New York City and runs an herbal shop in china town. She is also a high placed operative for an unnamed mystic organization that has provided most of Hong's training since death. She is generally sympathetic, but firm to Hong. She sees it as her mission to train him in his powers in the afterlife as she would have been ordinarily been tasked to start doing when he would have turned 18, serving a as his surrogate mom and maybe executioner. Huh? Read on…
Wen Tsang: An 18 year old hottie and his ‘sort of’ girl friend. Wen and he are currently working around this whole 'ghost' thing, but who knows? Hong is worried that when she finishes college, she may want to find a real live 'I can keep you warm at night' boyfriend instead. Of course it gets worse than that. You see, Wen is actually a super in her own right [Can you see my PL8 comming??? Can you? Oooh, the RPie goodness...] and has to not only keep this a secret from Hong and her parents, but also keep Hong a secret from her dad. Weeee...
Mr. & Mrs Tsang: Wen's parent's. Did I mention that Wen's dad works as a scientist who is trying to convert paranormal entities to energy to help provide a greener future for China and the world? No? Well its no biggie for anyone BUT Hong of course. Her parents think Hong is 'dead' dead and not undead. They were a bit surprised just how quickly their daughter got over his death given that the two had been seeing each other for years. Sad, but perhaps its all to the better. After all, Wen really should focus on studies as she has so much potential, and she is really too young to risk a relationship now anyway.
ORIGIN:
Li Hong was a 17 year old student and aspiring martial artist who lived in Hong Kong. He was going to finish school, join the army, go into intelligence work, and probably marry Wen. Then he would. . . um. . . Well, he did not know. But realistically, that was about as much forethought as one could expect from a even a fairly bright 17 year old anyway. Too bad it was all for naught.
Hong was headed home from the dojo on his old scooter, and was supposed to get some duck eggs on the way back. But, home was in the opposite direction of Wen’s parents house. He had wanted to stop by tonight and read a poem to her that he wrote comparing moonlight and her beauty. With the full moon coming up later tonight it would be just the time to read it too, at least if her parents let him. Sigh. He had better really, really hurry, or he would never get it all done in time. Being scolded for being late, and for holding up dinner, was simply not an option.
Decision made, he redlined his scooter, dodging thought sluggish traffic more aggressively as the horns of cars he passed sounded angrily in his wake. The old scooter buzzed and shuddered at the abuse. Apparently it was as angry at him as the other drivers he thought and laughed aloud, only to stop suddenly in confusion. *BANG* his front tire blew. Skid. . . Partial Recover. . . Pot hole. . . Flip. . . And then he was airborne, looking at the headlights of an oncoming BMW 3 series, “Pearlescent white? Schweet!”, he quipped mentally. Then. . . Blackness.
What a mess he thought as he looked at his body from above the accident scene. His head was almost detached by the glass from the blown in windshield of the bimmer.
Lots of blood too. The other guy looked okay. I guess his airbag worked so maybe there was something to all that safety sh*t after all. Probably should have worn a helmet, even if that was totally dork factor 9. And. . . Awww damn! My scooter is totaled. Explaining this all to Mom and Dad was going to get me grounded for life, or worse! Hmm… Probably should figure out why I can see my body from up here, and why I don’t feeling like crap because I sure look. . . Uh. . . *ucking hells! This. . . This is not right. Not right at all! Am. . . I. . . dead?
BACKGROUND:
Approximately every ten generations the Li family produces a child who inherits the power of spirits due to a ancient curse that has twisted and somewhat ameliorated though time. Historically this happens right around around the 18th year of age, although in a few particularly powerful manifestations it has occurred earlier, and sometimes it has even has occurred in multiples. Some of the 'victims' of this curse were killed soon after discovering their powers, while others lived to accomplish great good, or sometimes, great evil.
Over a thousand years ago an organization was formed to help find and train these spirits made flesh. Passed down by appointment, membership in this secret organization is a responsibility taken most seriously. For the Li family fortunes wax and wane in relation to this spirit blessed individual. And, although its members very in power, they all hold a great deal of recorded knowledge and are dedication to the task of seeing the spirit blessed succeed.
In ancient times, there had only been one spirit made flesh at a time, but that number has grown over time as some older sprits have refused to let go when a new spirit blessed comes into being. This can cause a muddying of the families fortunes if multiple spirit blessed continue to meddle in corporeal affairs over time. The organization can be ruthless here, sometimes siding with good, sometimes with evil, sometimes with the older blessed spirit and sometimes with the newer one, but always working to 'fix' the issue by whatever means needed.
Hong is an anomaly, not only did he manifest spirit blessed nature early hinting at great power, but he did it while dying and losing his body and the means to affect the corporeal world hinting at weakness. This has caused no end of consideration among the organization.
Hong is blissfully unaware of anyone other member than Hu Li, and is greatfull for her help. In fact, he owes her more than he knows, for if she had not taught him to affect the corporeal world in some way, he surely may have risked elimination (to play it safe) while he was not very powerful. Something she may even have had to do herself, however distasteful. Even more luckily for Hong, an avenue for success opened up in the last few years, unconventional perhaps, but suitable. The first super teams were forming, and so she encouraged him to apply for membership in the Resolutes. . .
PERSONALITY:
Hong is generally a good kid, if a bit angsty. He can be a bit of a wise ass at times, as his irreverant streak encourages him to point out stupidity (including his own) and make light of bad situations. Somehow he usually manages to walk a fine line between being the rebel and being a respectable and dedicated person, but when he messes up he does so in grand style. He has not yet fully adjusted to being a ghost, which can lead to funny (or embarssing) situations for him, but he does not mind too much, or at least does not let it show.
Hong is afraid of losing Wen, and not at all happy about how his parents are treating him. Luckily Mrs. Hu Li has steped in to help train him and help him re-conect to the corporeal world via his telekinesis ability.
He has not really resolved himself to his ghost existance yet, and is still learning a lot about both life and his afterlife. He wants to do well for his family s a whole, even if his parents reject him.

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Olivia studied hard and busied herself in many activites during High School (including debalte, gymnastics, life-guarding and other extra ciricular activities that look good on college applications.
She was accepted into the University of Washington and began classes in October of 2000, undergoing the necessary classwork for a biology BA with plans to apply to UW’s Medical school. On the New Year’s Even 1999 she was unaware of the comet that entered the atmosphere and even more unaware of how it affected her physically.
Her mutation was slow to develop over the next four months. First she noticed that cuts and bruises that she treated seemed to heal much faster then they should. Her nails began to become more difficult to cut, grew sharper and began to resemble the talons of an eagle rather then normal finger nails. Her hair turned more blonde-brown then blonde and seemed to grow much faster then before. Her shoulder blades and tail bone were constantly itching, sometimes it was a constant pain instead.
One April morning she woke up to her room mate screaming and pointing at her. Olivia sleepily turned at looked at the end of the bed to see a tawny lions tail and a purple-black wing tip hanging over the edge of the bed. She jumped out of bed only to have the tail and wings follow her. The biologist in her was amazed at the transfomation she had gone through during the night and was eager to see if A) the changes were functional instead of cosmetic, B) if they were permenant and C) why they had occurred.
Waiting for twilight to come (and making her room mate promise not to say anything to anyone) Olivia decided to test her flight capeabilities, if any. Climbing to the dormitory roof she jumped off and hoped that her body had adapted to the changes and had gained some new reflexes. Luckily, she instinctivly began to flap her wings and soared toward the city.
Flying was an elation. She swooped and looped and rolled, forgetting the scientests urge to know the how and the why. She felt free from everything: studying, gravity, cars. She felt at home in the air and found that her sight had dramatically improved along with the “claws”, wings and tail.
Flying over Pike’s Place Market she spied a purse snatcher and dove down to see what she could do. Unfortunatly she hadn’t quite grasped control of her flight as well as she thought and crashed into him knocking him down in a rough and tumble grapple. She managed to subdue the thief (more luck then any real skill) and attracted a crowd in the meanwhile. Reaction was mixed; some people were horrified, others confused and the woman whose purse had been recovered was relieved.
Not really knowing what to do and cursing herself for just rushing in without a plan, she flew back to the dorms, hoping to be able to hide her 12ft wingspan and tail with long skirts and sweaters. News of the flying girl quickly spread with an ameture photograph and article in the Seattle Times appearing two days after the incident, Winged Girl Snatches Snatcher: A hero among us?
Wanting to help people with her newfound gifts she taught herself some basic martial arts, nothing formal more on the principles of how eagles hunt and attack: swooping in and out before anything can hit them back, and started to read a lot of comic books for inspiration of how a hero should act. She kept appearances rare, even going so far as to sew herself a costume with a mask so no one would recognize her face (her tail and wings were a whole different matter!) In order to help hide her identity she moved off campus and took mostly online campus, going into the lab at odd hours so she would be alone. As far as her limited crime fighting, she came out at twilight; Olivia found that not only had her sight improved but she could see with little light. She called herself the Twilight Gryphon: twilight both for the time of day she acted as a Super Hero and the unusual color of her wings (which she also based the color scheme of her costume on), gryphon for the mythical animal that she resemboled.
In 2005 she was approached while in costume by Seth Sharpman and Major Christopher Nueworth with an offer to join the New Task Force being created. Seeing this as a way to really help people she gladly accepted.

Proto is good at mimicing the traits of other biological entities. (He kinda wants to mimic a good biologist to know what this means). He can also compose traits from previously aquired subjects, but this is more difficult to do. Learning is fun though!

Appearance:
As Timmy, he looks like an 8 year old kid.
Background:
One day, little Timmy Stepford was playing in the woods, when he fell into a hole. In the hole was the primordial ooze, which ate him. However, in doing so, he gave it form, and it became him. The ooze felt rather bad about this, as it now had the capability to do so. It lived as Timmy for a while, and since it had his personalty, and memories, most people couldn't tell the difference. It knew the difference though. After a while, it realized it should do more, and explained the situation. The Stepfords were fairly supportive, as they had not noticed anything. With this, Proto decided to live his(or Timmies) childhood dream, and become a superhero. He's very excited, if a bit apprehensive about this.
Personality:
Shy, somewhat introverted. Proto is a bit unsure of himself, but he
remains true to Jimmy's charachter, who was a fairly happy kid actually.
