Message: <blockquote data-quote="Keia" data-source="post: 1667141" data-attributes="member: 98">Well, lost the last post, so here I go again - (guess that idea wasn'e meant to be).  So here's the next one.Michael Rhodes, or Mick to his friends, has been on his own for several years.  When he was three, both of his parents went missing while Mick was visiting his grandmother in Florida.  They were declared dead and Mick has spent the last 15-18 years with an emptiness inside.  He grew up in a small mostly seniors community in Florida, where he had lived with his grandparents.  Usually, Mick has rather amazing luck at just about anything.  However, occasionally the lucky one gets slapped with Fate’s backlash.  Fortunately for Mick, he has learned to take his licks when Fate comes calling for some payback.  Mick's grandparents always blew off these strange occurances, saying that stuff happened to everyone.Recently, Mick’s last grandparent (his grandmother) passed away, but before she died she told him to learn about his parents (something his grandparents had forbidden in the past) . . . that they had something to do with what was happening to him.  She mentioned something about his parents being important, that maybe they were even heroes.Things went from bad to worse upon Mick's arrival to Freedom City.  The private investigator he had hired had disappeared before Mick had even met the man.  Any leads on his parents were empty - there were a lot of Rhodes in Freedom City - and he wasn't even certain that was the last name of his parents.  Sure, there was the philanthopist Alexander Rhodes, but he was no hero.Luck was starting to turn when Mick happened upon a mugging (his own) by a couple of Red Wolves.  Unfortunately for them, two heros were watching and helped out.  They learned firsthand of the strange things that happened around Mick, and took him to meet the others.  There, Mick discovered he truly did have super powers, and he decided to help the team while he was in town if they would help him in his almost impossible task.  From then on, Fortune came to Freedom City.Hooks for Michael Rhodes:Allies:With his famous parents missing or dead, and no other known family, Mick has had to rely on his friends and contacts elsewhere.1) Karen Stevens:  Mick's high school and college best friend who lives in Florida.  He has told her about his strange abilities and she's helped with testing them out.  A future teacher by trade, the twenty year old is his best friend and confidante (though she may want more).2) Tim Hines:  Unsure of whether this is an ally or not, but Mr. Hines is a private detective that contacted Jimmy to tell him he had information about his family.  When Mick arrived in Freedom City, Mr. Hines had gone missing.  Desperate to find out about his family, Mick is pursuing Mr. Hines whereabouts.Enemies:Mick is just starting out as a hero (note - no hero name yet) and hasn't had time to make enemies.  Any enemies he does have are either old enemies of his parents or people just angry at Mick.1) Professor Vincent Wright: A professor at the Florida university Mick attends, he was an accidental victim of Mick's powers.  Unable to explain what happened, the professor has been riding Mick hard in and out of school.  In fact, Mick had to go over the Professor's head to get the excused leave of absence to head to New York to find his family.  As a side note, Astro Labs is currently backing the grant that Prof. Wright is working under.Locations:1) Park Hotel Efficiencies: the only location currently is his Freedom City efficiency apartment (rented to the end of the month).  Mick has only been in Freedom City for a few days, but this is where he bunks.SummaryAdded a couple of hooks since some aren't local.  Basically, Mick is just starting out, and may or may not have had famous parents (I used the name Rhodes from Alexander Rhodes, the former Scarab).  Powers to include luck and telekinesis, both of which Mick has but is unaware of.All of this, of course, is subject to change at the whim of the gamemaster <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Keia</blockquote>
