To Be a Hero

Welcome to North Point High School, one of the most famous and prestigious institutions in the world, known for its advanced Heroics Department that welcomes Powered students from all over the world as well as from its home of Pointview City through its doors. Aside from having an advanced and arduous curriculum for all of its students this school also aims to set out in creating Heroes that can help change the world and make a mark in history.

Students in the Heroics department must go through a test in order to receive a scholarship from the school, or they can take a test to join the department if they are students coming from our affiliated North Point Middle School once this happens they’ll become a part of the department and will have to attend special Heroic Department classes aside from normal school classes, these classes in turn will help these Powered individuals to improve on their abilities and skills through various trials and trainings.

With that said we, the staff at North Point High, wish to welcome you into our sanctum and hope that you enjoy the next four years spent with us.​

***

Good day everyone, here I’m bringing you yet another RP by moi. This RP is kind of your typical school RP but not at the same time, it’s not an academy (though you’re open to have characters that come from other cities and the like. Pointview city itself is located on a small island just off the coast of the US itself and welcomes students both from the US and other parts of the world (though there’s more schools focused on Heroics around the world but we’ll get to that later…)

This RP takes place in a world where a large part of the population is born with special abilities called Powers, the people born with these abilities in turn are called Powered Individuals or simply Powered, Powered can utilize their abilities to accomplish amazing feats in all fields and as thus a large part of them end up focusing on becoming Heroes, individuals whose goal is to use their abilities in order to help the world. Heroes can join special Hero Agencies that sponsor them and they can in turn specialize in different areas (but again that’s for later) and this in turn leads to there being many famous Heroes.

Your characters will be students at North Point High (they can either be freshman that are just starting or students that have already been in the school) and will go through four years (probably ;p) of school in order to graduate from both the school and its Heroics Department.

In regards to the Powers, I want the Powers to be more like talents that each character has, I’m not allowing powers that utilize Magic or the like as these powers are things that each individual person is born with, some powers might resemble each other but they’re not all the same. There can be powers that resemble something like magic tricks but not something that’s specifically like magic. Also no Cosmic Manipulation of powers of the likes, there can be powers that allow you to create objects but they can’t be something that allows you control over everything.

Anyways like I said the characters you create can be either students who are just starting out as freshman or they can be students that have already been at the school before. Other than that, go nuts.

RULES

-Okay first of all is that everything I say goes. I’m gonna try to not use this rule much if I can but I’m just stating it to make sure you understand, if I see something that I don’t think is okay and tell you to fix or correct it then I expect some understanding.

-No Godmodding, basically no making powers that are OP, they should all have weaknesses. Also don’t make your character super special or motherfreaking Batman either, they have powers but they’re still people at the end of the day.

-No bunnying, basically don’t do actions for other characters unless you have permission from the person controlling said character.

-If your sign-up is blatantly horrible, you will be rejected. Otherwise, you will simply be asked to edit it.

My Sign Ups

Name: Zenith “Zen”Realis
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Year: Junior

Appearance: Zenith has short messy cherry blonde hair and blue eyes. He stands at 6’2 and 140 kg with fair skin, an athletic physique and toned chest, arms and legs. He has a small scar on the right corner of his mouth. He likes to wear varying styles of clothing but mostly prefer light clothing that won’t strain his movements.

Personality: Zenith can be a very serious person at times, he isn’t antisocial but he always tries to keep a more relaxed personality, trying to tackle every situation as calm as he can. He’s very friendly to others and mindful of their likes and dislikes as well as what he could and couldn’t do. He’s a really hard worker, which causes him to always push himself harder than he should, something that’s made him get in trouble more than once.

He has a bit of an inferiority complex though, always trying to push himself and prove his worth to others, this in turn triggering his habit of pushing everything onto himself. This has had a good side though as it’s made him try his best to learn new skills and become better in order to improve.

History: Zenith is the son to King, one of the Licensed Heroes listed among the Top 10, a group comprised of elite Heroes who go around saving the world. His childhood was an interesting one, growing up with a father famous for his abilities as a hero he always grew up with his dad pushing him so that he would be just as great if not greater than he was. This caused Zen to develop his inferiority complex and also to push himself to the point of breaking down if necessary.

This didn’t change when he finally developed his powers. At first he was glad that he had developed powers of his own but upon realizing that his abilities weren’t suited for combat as it only caused his dad to go even harder on him.

Since then Zen made sure to train himself so he could become a hero that could surpass his dad, making sure to train his power so he’d be able to use it in any situation. Upon joining North Point he became part of the Heroics Department, earning himself a title around the school and becoming known not just for his feats in the department but outside of it as North Point’s starring running back.

Power:
Parasyte Seeing: This power causes Zen’s eyes to become a deep crimson while also giving him the ability to see into other people’s point of view. What this means is that he's able to see through the eyes of any person that he comes into contact with, he has a limit of about 5 people (depending on how long he uses it on each) that he can choose from. While seeing through their eyes he's able to completely immerse himself into their point of view and is able to hear what they can hear and even smell or sense what they do (he can't read minds or anything though)

Skills: Due to his power being useless in combat unless he makes it so Zen has set out to master as many skills as his possibly can, having trained his body by learning multiple types of martial arts, particularly judo, savate and boxing. He’s also very crafty, making use of whatever he has around him in order to make his situation easier. He’s not a genius but he’s very smart and is watchful of everything around him.
Other: He likes to play the keyboard in his spare e and likes first person shooters.

Name: Natalie Starr
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Year: Sophemore

Appearance: She has long black hair that goes past her waist and black eyes. She has slightly tanned skin which matches well with her toned body and athletic built. Natalie usually wears jeans that hug her figure or shorts. She also likes wearing tops along with her signature black short jacket. Underneath the left arm of her jacket she has multiple star tattoos that go down from her shoulder and through her arm just before reaching her hand.

Personality: She’s rebellious and hard headed, preferring to do things when she wants to and how she wants to without caring about anyone’s opinion. She’s also very agile and energetic, though this also makes her really competitive. She doesn’t have much smarts so she tends to solve a lot of her problems through violence, something that she’s always had trouble with. She’s not exactly unfriendly but she doesn’t really care on whether people like her or not since she just wants to do her own thing.

History: to be revealed in the RP

Power: Natalie has the power of Telekinesis. She can make things move around or levitate. She uses her power in other ways such as allowing herself to fly in the air or using it to increase the power of her punches and kicks and such, she still has a lot to do when it comes to discovering more ways to using her power.

Skills: Natalie doesn’t have many real skills as a whole, she thinks quick on her feet and is very agile and street smart due to living by herself for so long. She isn’t very smart btu she has a really good memory as well.

Other: She loves punk rock bands

Re: To Be a Hero

Name: Alexander "Alex" Vale
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Year: Senior

Appearance
Alex is a boy with brown hair and brown eyes, with a lean build and standing at around 6'0" in height. The clothes he wears are typically very nice, following the latest trends in fashion. His appearance is a priority for him, and he can be a bit incessant about maintaining it.

Personality
He isn't particularly known in terms of personality due to how little he hangs out with others, but he is known for his mother's reputation - her superhero name being Reaper. He is a bit defensive when it comes to talking about he and his mother's relationship - or rather, their lack of a meaningful one. Alongside this, he doesn't like to invite people to his home a lot because he's sure the subject will be brought up. However, he is very helpful toward underclassmen; he won't willingly deny giving them assistance when they call for it or seem like they need it, but won't actively look for it out of the blue. He's nice, but he's still a very busy person.

History
To be revealed during RP.

Power
Organic Manipulation. Alex has the ability to manipulate biological states. While not a master of these abilities like his mother, he is rather proficient in his own right. He can alter his own body's shape partially to change it into a tool for his use, but the larger the change means the shorter the duration of his change. Alongside this, he can change the biological states of others; at the moment, this ability is limited to causing mild to severe pain in a person. He must remain in contact with the person, as he doesn't have the ability to manipulate it from a distance yet.

Skills
He's skilled at swordsmanship, as is his favorite application of his abilities. Alongside a peak physical condition, he is also a very studied person when it comes to biology.

Other: He's often off looking for work, so he's sparsely there. Seeing him for any extended period of time is rare. His mother works alongside King as one of the Top 10 Heroes.
 
Re: To Be a Hero

Name: Samantha (Sam) Quinn
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Year: Junior

Appearance: Sam has light blonde, hair, blue eyes, and a sparkling smile. Being generally average for her height she stands about 5'6, and is relatively thin. She enjoys dressing well, and typically wears clothes that would be considered fashionable.

Personality: Sam's personality has changed over time, what once was energetic and easily upset is now calm and collected. She rarely loses his temper or gets upset with people. She does exhibit some anti-social tendencies but, once people get to know her, they realized she's a nice person. Sam usually appears bored and generally unimpressed with most things, accompanied by an extremely sarcastic sense of humor.

History: Explained in RP

Power: Air and wind manipulation. This basically consists of being able to blow strong gusts of air in any direction she chooses, though could be extended to being able to fly. However, Sam has not realized that potential of her ability, and primarily sticks to blowing things around. Naturally, the overuse of her powers can cause extreme exhaustion, and a shortness of breath.

Skills: Sam is intelligent, and is constantly experimenting with math and physics equations to try and improve and expand on what she can do with her powers. She hates to be interrupted while she's working.
 
Re: To Be a Hero

Name: Nychto Folyko
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Year: Freshman

Appearance: Nychto stands at 5'8 and an average build. His short hair is that of a very pale white color and lies in backwards-facing spikes. In contrast, his eyes are a sharp icy blue that match the color of the windbreaker jacket or sweater he often wears. On the lower part of his body, he adorns faded blue jeans and a pair of black snowboots.

Personality: Nychto is characteristically quiet and avoids contact with others, only adressing people with no more than three sentences per conversation. His twin sister states that ironically he's a warm and friendly character with those he's closely acquainted to, but that circle is a hard group to get in on account of his shyness and distrust toward strangers.

History: The twins were born to a couple of olive farmers in the town of Anogeia, Greece. Although nothing seemed out of the ordinary when they first came into this world, their powers started to emerge during preschool when Imera set the table she was drawing at on fire. Soon Nychto exhibited his abilities when he completely froze a lake in their town in the middle of summer. When their parents realized their children possessed such extraordinary powers, they tried to teach them how to control it so that by the time they were both 12, they could influence the air temperature of their family's small farm to grow their crops at any time of the year. This advantage led the Lyfokos to become the most successful olive farmers in the Hellenic Republic and they became famous for their perfect year-round olives and olive oil. However, this sparked jealousy amongst their neighbors and disaster struck when an angry mob stormed their farms and their parents were severely beaten before the children's very eyes. With their parents seeming to be permanently hospitalized and their farm under government control for now, the twins had no choice but to find a new home. As the two sat in the hospital lobby, Imera noticed a bright brochure at the attendant's counter that stood out from the rest of the pamphlets. Upon further inspection of the brochure, they saw that there were schools across the world accepting talented kids and offering to improve their abilities. Seizing this oppurtunity, the twins packed their bags and headed toward their futures at the academy, planning to use their powers to benefit all and restore their family's good name.

Power: Nychto has the abilities of cryokinesis, cold manipulation, and decreasing inertia of most moving objects and energy. These abilities can be applied to a range of about a full-length football field, but grows stronger with a closer range. In turn, his abilities are negated by the abilities like the ones that his sister possesses. Furthermore, he has a minimum temperature of 195 K (oughly dry ice's sublimation point) at point blank range, limited by the practical laws of physics on Earth (i.e even though it has been done, you're not going to see him freezing light at will), and extensive use/range of the power builds up fatigue.

Skills: Like his sister, Nychto have extensive knowledge on the art of agriculture on account of their family's farming business. Nychto's personal hobby is creating ice sculptures and sometimes used this as a form of non-verbal expression. As for combat, Nychto is remarkably crafty when it comes to strategy and planning, as well as resourceful and intuitive.

---------

Name: Imera Folyko
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Year: Freshman

Appearance: Imera stands at 5'9 and has a slim figure for her age. Her scarlet-red hair is as long as her torso in the back but only shoulder-length in the front. In addition to her black eyes and red lips, her face has a modest and complimenting layer of makeup and mascara. Her typical attire is a hot pink-coloured blouse with a lighter-coloured skirt, black thigh highs, and pink lolita boots to match. Furthermore, she often has her prized red electric guitar named "Leibniz."

Personality: In stark contrast with her twin brother, Imera is a hyperactive and easily distracted chatterbox who only shuts her mouth when thinking of new compositions to play in her future band. She is also flamboyant and crass, which combined with her other traits leads people to regard her as obnoxious and impulsive. This sometimes works against her social butterfly attitude, although she hasn't recognized this yet.

History: See Nychto's.

Power: Imera has the abilities of pyrokinesis, heat manipulation, and increasing inertia of most moving objects and energy. She often combines the latter power with her guitar's music to create damaging shockwaves. While her range is smaller than that of her brother's and requires more energy, it is more powerful to the point of causing 1500 degrees F (no relation to a certain meme) at close range and maximum effort. Her abilities are negated by her brother's and similar ones and limited by the practical laws of physics on Earth (Pistol shrimps may be able to basica*lly shoot the Sun at prey, but she isn't a shrimp and thus can't create temperatures that hot...).

Skills: Besides using her abilities, Imera fights in a street urchin-like fashion using her fists and feet. As for hobbies, she cleans her prized guitar and plays the latest composition she made, almost never satisfied with how it sounds.

Other: Imera is the older one of the twins by 2 minutes.

Re: To Be a Hero

Name: Victor Ümlaut
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Year: Junior


Appearance: Victor takes after his father appearance wise, though Gunther says his son is way girlier than him. To be fair, Victor is very pretty. Victor's pale, clear skin is perfectly smooth, with a dusting of freckles sprinkled all over his body. And his straight red hair is very long, reaching just barely below his shoulders. He takes excellent care of it, and keeps it tied in a pony-tail most of the time. He also has his left ear pierced. Otherwise, Victor's not exactly girly. He's quite tall, at 6'1. He's not exactly built, but years in martial arts have left him with a toned, athletic build. His arms are pretty thick, and he has a falcon tattooed on his left shoulder.


Personality: Victor's a nice guy. But he likes fighting, and takes a dim view of a authority. Like a lot of young heroes, he thinks he's invincible, and so he likes to take risks. It's not a secret that his dad was a supervillain. He feels like society expects him to cause trouble. Part of him wants to revel against that, and part of him doesn't.


History: Victor, like many of the students of the academy, is a powered individual. Unlike many of the other students, he is the son of a supervillain. Named Jotunblüt, Victor's dad claimed to be the descendant of Thor, Norse god of War and Thunder. Victor tried to remind his dad that Thor was never a war god, but Gunther Ümlaut didn't want to hear it.
Dad was always fairly upfront with his family about where all their riches came from, but neither Victor nor his mom liked it much. Maybe if his dad wasn't kind of a douche in addition to being a supervillain. Victor never saw his dad much, and when he did, their interaction rarely extended between Jotunblüt telling his son to be less of a pansy. He devised a lot of schemes to try and get his son to develop powers. Staged kidnappings, dangling him off of a balcony, threatening to break Victor's video games if he didn't shoot a lightning bolt at the neighbors. But Victor didn't show any powers until the police barged into their house during dinner and arrested dad. While the police restrained Victor, he accidentally shocked them, so they arrested him too. Eventually it was determined that it was an accident, and he was sent to North Point in the hopes that he wouldn't grow up to be a crazy dude that told people he was a Norse god while shooting lightning at them.


Power: Victor is a walking battery. Like all humans, he controls his body via electric impulses from his nervous system. But his has evolved beyond that. His nervous system can store and release electricity. He can absorb electricity from most any electrical object by touching it. This usually makes the object stop working until it's recharged somehow. Victor needs to do this to survive. Electricity is just as important to him as water. It's usually not a problem in most of civilization. Just a matter of finding a power outlet and pressing his hand to it. He can store enough electricity to power a house for a day or so, but he also uses that much in a day if he's using his powers to fight or go on a mission.


He can also release electricity. If he's just doing it into the air, for now he can only do it for a second or so before he burns himself. This attack is about as potent as a stun gun, but it only works if he's directly touching the target. It's most common use is to power electronics. I guess you could plug a fan into his belly button if you were hot. But for now, this aspect of his powers isn't that useful. But that's why he's going to hero school.


A side effect of his power is that his nervous system transfers signals much more quickly than normal. This means that Victor has amazing coordination and reaction time. He could sprint across a tight-rope as easily as you or I could walk down the street. And he'd do it faster than most people could even dream of. He can do crazy acrobatic stunts by virtue of his superhuman balance. And even the hardest of video games present no challenge to him, because his reaction time is a very small fraction of a regular person's. However, exerting himself in this manner drains his electricity reserves, so after a session of running around on tight ropes and flipping around like a crazy person while playing video games, he'll want to go eat some batteries.


Finally, if Victor focuses, he can feel the electricity in the air. This let's him sense everything within a 100-foot radius of himself, or about a standard city block. He could sense a person sneaking up behind him, what was in their pockets, and count the beats of their heart. This "sixth sense" is similar to touch in that he can only perceive the physical aspects of objects. So while he could sense someone in the room next to him, he couldn't tell you what color their hair or eyes are, since those are just reflections of light. He also couldn't read a closed book with this power, since the most modern printing processes don't affect the texture of the paper. This power takes up a lot of focus, too. Victor's basically feeling everything within a block of himself, inside and out. Focusing on it is gonna take all of his attention, and if he tries to do something else while he has his sixth sense on, it's gonna be hella distracting.


Skills: Victor had always been into anime like Naruto and Dragonball Z. His dad was always looking for some way to make his son maybe be a bit more manly. Up until he was 12 he was a scrawny wimp that always got picked on. Then he got his dad to buy him martial arts lessons. Victor's now very physically fit. Not in peak condition, but his max bench press is definitely above average. He can take a punch, and when he dishes them out, he can break bones if he doesn't hold back.
Victor's parents are originally from Germany. So he's fluent in both it and English.
His dad always liked darts, and out of the few bonding experiences the two had, many of them were in front of the dart board. If he's throwing stuff, Victor is an okay marksman.
Finally, though Victor isn't the most studious sort, he's always been good with electronics. Chalk it up to having to fix his games when his burgeoning powers would sometimes mess them up. He knows how magnets work, and he's good enough that he can fix most household appliances.


Other: Anything additional you’d like to add.

Re: To Be a Hero

Name: Ciana Stone
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Year: Sophomore

Appearance: Ciana stands at 5'6", has an athletic build with modest curves and brilliant blue eyes that match her short hair, which is dyed. Her natural hair color is blonde, as can be seen in the roots, and she wears blue eyeshadow. She has pointy, elf-like ears, something she gets bullied for a lot. Her throat, arms, hands and legs are covered in cuts and scars that she always wears long sleeve turtlenecks and long jeans to cover up.

Personality: Not much is known about Ciana because she's mute. Her being antisocial and suffering from depression doesn't help matters. Because of this, she keeps to herself and ignores everyone since she gets bullied by mostly everyone. Because of her long and painful history of torment at the hands of bullies at the like, she has a tendency to start crying at the slightest provocation, no matter what she's feeling. If she finds that someone is nice to her, she quickly seeks to form a bond with that person and will start communicating via writing or telepathy, if the person allows it.

History: TBR

Power: Ciana is a psychic, and as such, can sense the emotions and thoughts of others. She can also project thoughts and images into someone's head for various purposes. If she forms a bond with someone and they allow it, she can communicate with them via telepathy. She has to actually try to sense someone's thoughts and emotions, and can be denied access if the person mentally rejects her. Furthermore, her powers require eye or physical contact to work. If she closes her eyes, she can sense objects and movements around her through subtle vibrations in the air. Coupled with enhanced reflexes, she has an uncanny reaction time and ability to dodge attacks, thanks to her athletic grace. If Ciana overuses her psychic abilities, she becomes extremely fatigued and prone to nosebleeds and headaches.

Skills: Ciana is a skilled swordsman and cook. She is also good at swimming, though she is terrible at holding her breath. She is good at going long periods without blinking, and does this a lot when she plays Tetris. She also loves to meditate and be alone or with friends.

Other: Her birthday is April 29th.

Name: Calvin "Lightningrod" O'Brien
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Year: Junior

Appearance: Calvin stands at roughly 6'5" and weighs 250 pounds, most of which is muscle and bone. He has short curly brown hair, brown eyes and very well-tanned caramel skin. His style of clothing typically runs to polos with the number 12 embroidered on them, blue jeans and suede blue and white shoes.

Personality: Calvin is best described as a gentle giant. He's very friendly despite his imposing size, and he loves to talk to people. However, he has many triggers that will take the 'gentle' part out of the equation, including bullies, anyone messing with his friends and/or sister, and people overall being rude. If provoked, he's likely to throw a punch, and it's likely to be the only punch thrown if it's the first. He has a strong sense of justice, and is very unflappable, not backing down even if he knows he's at a disadvantage. At the end of the day, though, he's a very nice person.

History: TBR

Power: Calvin can control electricity, making him capable of such feats as forming a bio-electric shield around himself for protection, electrifying parts or all of his body, firing electric projectiles from his hands, generating a magnetic field to draw or repulse metal objects as well as disrupt electronics, fly in short bursts via static thrusters, heal injuries by absorbing electricity, and when combined with his sister's powers, drop lightning bolts from the sky. All of these abilities save for healing require certain amounts of electricity to already be in his reserves. He can self-generate a certain fraction of his max reserves, but this requires him to have at least a fraction of his reserves remaining. it also comes with a deadly weakness to water, as he cannot be submerged more than knee deep in water without shorting and injuring himself, and if he is completely submerged, he can die. As such, he cannot bathe regularly, instead having to take sponge baths. Also, if he overuses his powers, he becomes extremely fatigued and sick.

Skills: Calvin is an exceptional quarterback, has a cannon arm (he can throw a football 74 yards), and loves technology. He built his own personal device that acts as a phone, computer, video game, camera and GPS.

Other: His birthday is August 9th.

Name: Camille O'Brien
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Year: Junior

Appearance: Camille stands at 5'7" with an average build and modest curves, has long brown hair and brown eyes, and medium dark skin. Her sense of style runs to black long-sleeved shirts, skirts, leggings and shoes.

Personality: Camille is an opposite of her brother in nearly every way. She's very shy and quiet, preferring to keep to herself. Because of this, and her powers, she is often mistaken as cold-hearted and gets bullied a lot. She can be friendly, but she prefers quiet people, as overly energetic people raise her stress level. She doesn't have her brother's mean streak, and prefers not to fight, but if dragged into a confrontation, she won't run away, either. She tends to recede into her mind when faced with sensory overload, such as when she's being bullied or flirted with.

Power: Camille can control the atmosphere and, by extent, the weather. She is capable of such feats as creating and changing weather, even indoors. This includes rain, hailstones, snow, lightning, tornadoes and hurricanes. However, she is not in complete control of her powers, and the weather is prone to changing depending on her mood. If she's happy, the weather is usually sunny and beautiful. If she's sad, it tends to rain and be gloomy. If she's angry, thunderstorms, hailstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes are prone to occur. Even without her control, the changing and creating of weather drains her energy, each more than the last, and in the case of tornadoes and hurricanes, she's prone to passing out from the exertion. In tandem with her brother, she can allow him to drop lightning bolts from the sky.

Skills: Camille is an exceptional dancer, and loves technology. She built a device that allows people to withstand extreme temperatures, such as those at the Poles and volcanoes, and a device that can suck the energy out of the atmosphere, thus cancelling her powers in an emergency. She keeps these on her at all times.

Other: Her birthday is August 9th.

Re: To Be a Hero

Name: Ib
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Year: Senior

Appearance: Ib looks rather small for her age, with a lithe and sleek build. She has dark brunette hair past her shoulders, with fair skin and red-hued eyes. She wears a long-sleeved crimson top and dark gray jeans, along with a black fleece jacket.

Personality: Ib is generally a kind person, though she can have a bit of a temper from time to time. She is a bit socially awkward, and keeps to herself often. Ib is very dedicated to her studies; she is diligent with her work, and doesn't waste her time.

History: It's a sore subject, and it's best not to bring up her family.

Power: Ib can climb virtually any surface; that being said, she can walk on walls, ceilings, and anything in between. She also can jump significantly higher than the average human being. Lastly, she can camouflage herself to become, to a degree, invisible to the naked eye. A setback to her power, however, is that she is susceptible to long ranged attacks. Also, because her skin has adapted to climbing many different surfaces, physical attacks will do more damage than usual.

Skills: Ib is very agile, due to doing track and lacrosse. She meditates upside down every day, and she plays the flute.

Other: She has an affinity for red roses. Theme song is Bad Apple.

Re: To Be a Hero

Name: Brad Benson
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Year: Sophomore

Appearance: Due to the nature of his powers, Brad has an athletic frame without an ounce of fat on him. His legs are defined and powerful (his legs look like those of a running back) and he consciously chose to lift weights so it didn't look like he skipped arm day. He keeps his light brown hair closely cropped and spiked up because if it fell down over his eyes at high speeds he would have problems seeing which would be a disaster. His most notable physical trait is his golden yellow eyes which always appear to be shining brightly.

Personality: To someone who only knows Brad based on his powers, they would think that speed is everything about him. This isn't exactly a lie. He's a motor mouth, he is a thrill seeker and he is seemingly always on the move. He also eats like a glutton and yet keeps his athletic frame, the massive food consumption required to fuel him.

History: While Brad has a motor mouth, he doesn't talk about his childhood much. He does however seem to be happy and well-adjusted, it just isn't something that comes up.

Power: Super speed (and of course all the accompanying powers so he doesnt turn into mush every time he starts, stops, changes direction or crashes into something) and superhuman reflexes. Brad could catch a bullet out of the air with chopsticks if he wanted to, but he wouldn't because he's not an idiot. His super agility is more than just running speed, he can change direction with ease as well as react to obstacles in his way. One weakness that the power has is that while he can change direction easily, completely stopping... isn't as easy. Also while Brad is tough and durable, he doesn't possess extreme superhuman levels of strength. So crashing into things at super speed will wear him down.

Skills: Given his hand-eye coordination, reflexes and super speed, Brad was always a top athlete. He does miss it (given that his powers are definitely cheating when it comes to competing against muggles).
 
Re: To Be a Hero

Name: Michael Reynolds
Gender:Male
Age:17
Year: Freshman

Appearance: Michael's appearance tells a great deal about his habits and personality. He stands at around 6'1, with a relatively thin build. He has blonde hair and amber-colored eyes, though the latter are typically hidden behind fairly ordinary glasses. More often than not, he wears khaki cargo pants, a bright green t-shirt, and a white lab-coat for casual attire. He also carries around a dark grey messenger bag, though this is mostly for schoolbooks than anything else. Overall, his outward appearance provides a fairly accurate portrait of his internal self.

Personality: Michael is very cheerful in almost every circumstance. He legitimately enjoys helping others, even if doing do necessitates personal sacrifice on his part. He'll be the first to leap to a friend's aid, with little to no thought of his own wants and needs. He's very intelligent and analytic by nature, and has a tendency to consider every option he has before making decisions.

History: To be revealed as the RP progresses.

Power: Bio Accelerant: Michael has the ability to accelerate his own cellular growth and function, which grants him the capacity to perform a plethora of tasks. He can quickly heal minor wounds, trigger adrenaline rushes to dull pain, or even increase his rate of metabolism to enhance his energy output. However, this ability is not without a drawback. In fact, it is effectively a double-edged sword. Using the power causes for his body to burn through nutrients and energy at a much higher rate than usual. Consequentially, if the Bio Accelerant is not used with moderation, it can lead to strong physical consequences. These can range from high fatigue and physical nausea at low levels to bodily dysfunction (ie muscle failure) at high levels of (excess) use.

Skills: Due to the nature of his power, Michael has a very profound interest in biology and medicine. He is notable versed in medicine, both clinical and herbal varieties. He also has an extremely strong immune system, which further aids his own ability to resist disease and infection.

Other: Totally not using this character as a practical application of what I learned in Microbiology this semester
