"We Can Be Heroes"

Characters:


Aurlie Morningstar
"Lady Stardust"
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Powers (limit 2): Speed, flight
Background: Middle class, "perfect" family
Bio: Aurlie was a normal, happy girl living a normal, happy life when she discovered her powers running laps around the park. She kept it secret from her family and friends, taking honing her abilities into her own hands. She recently started using her abilities in public, under the identity of "Lady Stardust".


Hannah "Mistress" Le Stratos
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Powers: Cannot feel pain, manipulate emotions
Background: Former dominatrix performer, current businesswoman
Bio: Hannah claims to have had a "turnaround" from her former life as a Dominatrix/stripper and is now a successful businesswoman her past, or family, remains a mystery and she refuses to give any further information about herself.

Michael Arling
"Zombie"
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Powers (limit 2): Immortality/Invunrability, Super Strength
Class: Vigilante/Antihero
Background: Lower Class
Bio: Michael, or "Mike" as he prefers to go by, lived in the slums, projects and boondocks his entire life, or at least for the times when he had a place to call home. His childhood was much like a struggle for survival, his mother being a drug-scrounging prostitute and being born addicted to heroin. His powers manifested during an attempted mugging, to which he ended rather easily. Mike has tasted the dark side of life, and it's reflected in his view on life. He is a cynic and, after his powers manifested, he's become rather egotistical and cocky. He usually uses weapons along with his powers, a gun giving him much more range than his fists and blunt or bladed weapons providing him with a nice augmentation to his powers.

Ashe Draven
"Anarchy"
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Powers (limit 2): Control of Entropic Energy
Class: Villain
Background: Middle Class
Bio: Ashe was born into your average middle-class family, and lived a rather average life, up until his teenage years. He went into the cliche Rebel stage, and actually gained a rather good edge in his rebellion; his powers over the forces of entropy developed. He soon learned to control them. He then proceeded to form a rather large gang and begin his conquest of the city.
Appearence: Anarchy, when in his guise, has a shirt with the sleeves torn off and a red Anarchy A stitched to the front. He wears a red bandana over his mouth, and fingerless gloves on his hands.

((Accepted))

Aurlie said a quick good-bye to her mother and father before taking her car out of the driveway and down to the beach. It was a foggy day, perfect for running. She zipped up her jacket and sped along the beach, so quickly that no one could see her. She ran for an hour or so, back and forth along the beach, before she got back into her car and changed into her costume, flying out over the city. She loved the feeling of the wind in her hair, the city below her, and the feeling of control that it all gave her.

((d*mn. I should have made a day character instead of a night stalker XD ))
Ashe stood atop a building, on the edge, looking down at the city below. From above, and below for that matter, it looked like he was going to jump to the streets below.

((Haha, it's fine.))

Aurlie landed behind him, "Sir! Don't jump, please..."

Ashe turned around, looking at Aurlie, raising an eye. "And who... er, what might you be?" He asked.

"Lady Stardust." she answered quickly, as though she were used to it now, though she had only been going about like this for a few months. "Hero-in-training." she joked lightly, half-smiling.

Ashe raised an eyebrow. "Lady Stardust? Hero?" He asked.

She laughed, "Yeah, trust me, it sounds stupider than it actually is. Tell you what; you let me fly you down and I'll try to show you."

He laughed a bit and shook his head. "A hero, huh? Then shouldn't you be saving some old lady from a purse snatcher, or getting a kitten out of a tree, or just somewhere else in general?" He said.

"It's a pretty quiet city." she confessed, "I'm thinking about moving to New York, though."

((I just realized something. All of my characters are dicks. Like, every one. Excluding Nathan, do I have any characters with anything near a decent personality?))
Ashe smirked a bit. "Yeah. I'd get to that."

((Um... Adrian isn't horrible once you get to know him.))
She shrugged, "So, you aren't going to kill yourself, right?"

"Wasn't planning on it." He said.
((Yeah, but my normal Adrian's always a d*ck...))

"Good." she smiled, "See you around then." she waved, floating a few feet off the ground.

He shook his head a bit. "Shit. A hero? A hero?! This ruins everything!" He said, once she was gone.

((I'm going to throw in someone else to add variety.))


Hannah "Mistress" Le Stratos
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Powers: Cannot feel pain, manipulate emotions
Background: Former dominatrix performer, current businesswoman
Bio: Hannah claims to have had a "turnaround" from her former life as a Dominatrix/stripper and is now a successful businesswoman her past, or family, remains a mystery and she refuses to give any further information about herself.

"Ruins?" Mistress said as she came up behind him, "One girl cannot ruin the plans we have worked so hard to put together, Ashe."

((No, you just wanted a whore XD))
He locked back at her. "Did you see that? She flies! Neither of us can fly. I mean, I can float to the ground to some extent, but I can't fly!" He said, crossing his arms.

((D: Did not!))

"So? She can't fly if you shoot her." Mistress grinned.

"How do you know? What if she's invulnerable." He said.

((sorry upfront for the horrible drawing/clarity, scanner is broken and I fail at drawing))
Jason Amaroq
Age: 24
Powers: Telekenesis, Can project his thoughts
Background: Orphan/ Unknown
Bio: Although he is constantly mistaken for a villain, Jason is indeed a hero. He relies on using fear via thought projection to terrify those who harm others. His lips appear to be stitched together, but they are not. he just doesn't like talking. If he needs to talk he projects his voice into people's minds. He also has two encased blades on his arms which he telekenetically extends when needed for combat.

((Accepted. And, the drawing looks good, just not so much with the clarity of the shot.))

((the only way i could get it was to take a picture with a camera phone and upload it from there. i'm in the process of getting a new scanner to fix that problem XD))
An alarm went off as the National Bank was robbed. Stereotypical situation. just as the hooded hoodlums (just try saying that ten times fast) headed for the door, a hooded figure walked in. "you guys shouldn't be so hasty. why not stay and... chat?" his voice was heard, but his lips did not move, appearing to be stitched together. The hostages were amazed to see the robbers scream, trying to fend off unseen adversaries. Jason's golden eyes were glowing, his mind projecting fearsome beasts that only the robbers could see. Before long, they were curled up in the fedal position on the ground. Just as calmly as he entered, Jason left, just as the startled police arrived. as they turned to question the man, they found he was gone, vanished into thin air. or at least it seemed that way. in reality he had just telekenetically lifted himself onto the roof and walked off that way.

((I know how you feel. But, my phone's camera is actually pretty good. In fact, it's the only redeemable quality of the phone. But, the picture size is huge. It makes the page stretch when I upload them.))

((for mine the picture size is good, but the quality is... well you see the results))
