*Code Name: The Albatross
*Alter Ego: Jennifer "Jenny" Cygnus
*Origin: Born in the mid-west, Jennifer Cygnus grew up with a secret; two indents in near her shoulder blades was a clear message that she wasn’t normal. Her family did their best to cover this up, but what they couldn't hide was was beneath the skin. What she was capable of was well beyond what any human could accomplish and it was noticed rather quickly among the locals. Just before they were sure it couldn't get much worse, Jenny sprouted wings right out of her back. Luckily for the family, before the media could completely explode they were approached by an associate to a group of individuals who specialized in dealing with these kinds of things.
At age 12, Jenny was poised to be taught by the Guardians of the Earth, a superhero group bent on spreading awareness and fighting crime. After being helped in figuring out the limits of her power she was asked if she would like to follow the path of the sanctioned costumed hero. Having been indebted to this group, she agreed without a second thought and over the course of 20+ years she's become one of the most decorated superheroes to ever live. Currently, she has recently become the big boss of the Guardian's main HQ division.

*Code Name: The 'Thieving' Magpie
*Alter Ego: Kendra Rusche-Cygnus
*Origin:There was very little special about Kendra, she was a street urchin in Compton trying to squeeze out a living. One day changed her life however when a freak accident ended up with her helping out one of the foremost heroes alive at the time. After some discussion, she was brought into the business at the age of 14 once Kendra was talked into believing that she could help change the world. Her training was tough, but she made a friend in the The Albatros, Jenny Cygnus. She did her best to emulate the woman and at 16, was even formally adopted by her. Things seemed pretty solid for her, but it didn't seem in the cards for her.
Kendra will admit to being changed for the better, but she didn't come from the same place that most people in this business did. She was still a bit foul-mouthed, tempered, and had a vice but for five years after her 17th birthday she still fought for that, striving to be greater, but one day she saw something on the job that made her believe that people can't really become greater. The only people that know what happened are her and Albatross, and neither will say what made Kendra disbelieve in paragons. Instead she realized how perfectly suited she was for other...things. Powered armor that only worked for her, more skill than your average Olympic athletics team and the streetwise know how she possessed made her an excellent thief and a pretty good mercenary. So that's her current job title now, whether she likes it or not.

*Code Name: The Olympian
*Alter Ego: John J. Thompson
*Origin: John Thompson was born in 1901, the same year Reach was built. Of course his parents were over in New York struggling to raise him and have a good home life. For those 17 years, nothing about him screamed interesting, but WW1 came along and he was quickly enlisted out of patriotism. While he was dispatched as apart of the American Expeditionary Forces, it was in basic training where he found his talent- without so much as putting in extra effort at the rack, h found his muscles adapted to whatever task he needed to do. While the ability was incredible, it only barely ensured his survival in the war. A few years later was when he became the Olympian, but his origin is complicated. He wasn't the first costumed hero of the 20th century, but he never claimed to be. In fact he's stated his first official 'heroic' act was helping a masked vigilante in New York who went by "The Golden Helmet" against some bootleggers who were about to get violent with the local PD.
After that incident, he was compelled to help, but New York had some activity. Instead he turned to the mysterious Reach City which was comprised of insane sounding hearsay and rumors too astounding to be true. Of course on arrival he quickly found out the rumors and hearsay didn't do the place justice. The 20 something veteran was able to easily blend in with the co-mingling 'weirdos' that inhabited the city. All he needed to do was craft an identity, for him it was as easy as looking over some pulp and sci fi novels. Some Tarzan and John Carter mixed with his own personal taste in theatrics did the trick and The Olympian; a man sculpted to perfection ready to fight battles the oppressed cant, was read to go. Little did he know that his run at the hero business would extend all the way to 1996 as his body lasted longer than it had reason too. He's lasted through the second world war where people briefly fell out of favor with theatrics in return for more 'serious' threats, the paranoia of the cold war, the counter culture of the sixties, and the grim and gritty 80's. He's got plenty of stories to tell, and since he's been retired for awhile he's more than happy to share them and pass on what he knows to the next generation

-A glance into the past, how he looked in his prime- www.boomwallpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/disney-tarzan-sketch-5-300x219.jpg
*Costume:
N/A, tended to operate with whatever he wore at the time(though not for long) or whatever he felt was comfortable to wear.
*Primary Powers:
~Enhanced physiology: the Olympian enjoyed enhanced speed, strength, reflexes, dexterity, and toughness for the better part of the 20th century. Even today where he's well over 100, his boy managed to tick off a good 30 years, it's not much but he's more spry than you could ever imagine. His metabolism particularly helped with that, he didn't experience any 'middle-age' symptoms until well into his sixties, his genepool was so good. Even into his 70's he was still refining his combat technique and it was only until twenty years after that did he feel unfit for constant active duty. Today he looks like he's approaching his 70's or 80's, but don't let that fool you.
*Secondary Powers:
~Enhanced combat: In his prime the Olympian has learned judo, western boxing, Defendu, and Army Combatives(at the time WW1, though he's made sure to keep it updated to the time) for unarmed and armed combat. In the 70's he dabbled in learning the Jeet Kune Do philosophy after it was popularized by Bruce Lee, but he'd be retiring within two decades of that experimentation.
*Equipment;
-Armor:
N/A he tends to wear whatever was appropriate(or fitting). In the 50's and 60's at the height of the cold war he did do operations on contract basis, there he wore fitted combat gear, usually dark colored and a customized .45 automatic. However once his tenure was done he as more than happy to ditch both.
-weapons
: N/A. During the cold war he utilized a modifie 1911 pistol similar to what he used in WW1, but 'modernized' with a few tricks.

*Code Name: Wilted Rose
*Alter Ego: Rose Song
*Origin: Born to a family of villains, Rose was practically expected to follow in the footsteps. Wanting to be a regular kid, she grudgingly did so. The youngest out of five, she was the only one to get super-powers naturally through genetics and this was always a sore spot to her siblings. In addition, her father was impressed, but always was the type of man to want to take things a step further. He had the best geneticist he could buy tot ry and analyze her powerset and add some new ones. As such she never really got a good taste of the family life.
She immigrated(read, snuck away) to Reach City because she just wanted to be alone,especially after being put through some very unfortunate situations. Unfortunately her family has friends in many places and she is almost sure to be forced to where she 'needs' to be. Whether she wants to or not, it'd take a miracle to steer her off the path...of course Reach City's a place of miracles as much a sit is a place of heroes.
*Public Status: Villain; Affably evil- She's been raised by a bad man and despite not liking him, is at a stage in her life where she's willing to try anything to keep what freedom she has.
*appearance: archive.nyafuu.org/foolfuuka/boards/w/image/1352/04/1352047036031.jpg
*Costume: Track suit with rose symbol. Tends to come off a bit skimpier than imagined.
*Primary Power: Decay non-organic materials and later on organic life. It's her one true ability, and she's mixed about how to feel about it. She's destroyed a few things on accident and the destructive nature makes her think, but on the other hand it makes keeping her arrested difficult so she finds it almost freeing.
*Secondary abilities:
~Artificial wings for flight and tail for stability, they're mechanical, though at this point Rose would probably have just preferred real bat wings for the hell of it.
~Minor pheronome output to sway/seduce others. Another little experimentation from 'dad', he called it an interesting counter-attack nobody would expect. Not used much by her but it's always an option.
*Equipment: N/A
---------------------------------------------------------------
*Code Name: Natura
*Alter ego: Abigail Parke
*Origin: Abigail always had her powers, but she didn't always know about them. She just thought it was natural and that everyone could talk to animals and plants. She wasn't the most popular kid, so it was mainly being out of touch with everyone else. The first few years of her life were very peaceful and what almost anyone could hope for. Then tragedy struck one day when they were visiting the Historical museum in Reach city. A terrorist bombing by a group known as the firebugs occured and her and her family was caught in the middle of it. As everyone panicked and tried to escape a hero entered to save the day.
Abigail and many of the people trapped inside were saved...however her parents were not so lucky. She was sad, but as a kid it was never a very vivid memory, yet enough to haunt her. after a lot of paperwork and complications, not the least of which was her powers activating in front of some possible adoption parents one very odd day, she was taken in by the very hero who saved her. She didn't hold what happened against him and she vowed to be able to do what he did for her...as well as what he didn't do. She would be a superhero a damn good one too.
The Guardians of the Earth group took her in, she's still undergoing training.

*Code Name: Capt. "Slam" Foreman, formerly Terminator: Charon
working under the 'Gifted Terminator Squad'.
*Alter-ego: Henry Carter Foreman
*Origin: Carter grew up in Reach City. He went to the local school and excelled, being a very smart individual.His life seemed set to be an engineer, but a cruel twist of fate tends to rear its head in these circumstances. He was one of many victims of a villain attack and following hero brawl which took out a large portion of innocents(his graduating class made up a large amount of the victims). While they all tried to recover, the following week a student picked on went crazy and caused even more death before he could be stopped. Broken, his intelligence and skill was ripe for the picking for the G.T.S.(Gifted Terminator Squad), an almost cult-like organization who looked to eradicate superhumans. He was picked up and trained to take kill superheroes and villains alike. To him it didn't matter at this point when either could cause so much trouble
He worked for the group for many years, taking out super-powered individuals, both good and bad until one day he decided to turn himself in(reasons unknown). Though Reach city officials got ahold of him before any angry survivors could and he was acquitted on the condition he take up as a Specialized task force for police to stop such 'terrorist' attacks in a way better than genocide. He had no problems with this and was convinced quite fast. In recent time, he's created the TRU,
a special branch in Reach City Police Department, meant to stop or keep high level threats at bay when heroes are unable to respond. Think a SWAT teams on crack, they have access to better training than most military's, advanced equipment from the local GEAR tech lab firm, as well as superpowered individuals trained in a less lethal but just as effective methods Foreman's made up in his decades of experience.

*Primary Powers: N/A
*Secondary Powers:
~Enhanced combat: Foreman spent almost 20 years as a trained assassin meant to take out some of the most powerful superhumans alive. He was very good at his job. His abilities blend into each other, but he's far from rusty even at his age.
~Enhanced intelligence: While there are certainly smarter, in anothe rlife Foreman would have made a very successful engineer with a solid paycheck. His mind didn't completely go to waste however, he's got a grat tactical min after GTS beat it into him. He's an outside the box thinker.
*Equipment:
-Armor: none
-Weapons:
~A customized .44 magnum with several specialized rounds(KE round: a non-lethal round that imparts all energy of the bullet on body instead of piercing it, causing a hollywood-like blowback; incendiary rounds; explosive-tipped round;)
. He uses it when deemed necessary.
~Stun batons: He's skilled in martial arts, and can put this glorified club to good use.
-Other:
~Personal EMP wave. This nasty piece was gvien to him after it was realized 'superheroes' were always going to meddle around and not all of them had powers. It sends out a personal EMP blast capable of knocking out any unshielded tech within a 50 foot range of the device)
~personal mind blocker. A particularly important device, it's meant to interrupt psychic feed a telepath would use, garbling the transmission of any mind reading attempts within 5 yards of the device.

*Code Name: Trout
*Alter ego: Jun'Fah
*Origin: Jun'Fah is a scrawny runaway, while he's young and kind, it's what he's running from that's the secret. He-(classified)
He finds himself in Reach City, since it's the best place for a fish-kid to hide out in. Time will tell what becomes of him.
*Public status:Goldenboy

*Costume: tribal clothing, almost ancient African in nature of it's appearance.Various jewels or oddities attatched.
*Primary powers:
~Trout isn't particularly powerful due to his size and age, but he is more than capable of shifting the waters around him with willpower. His limits are unknown currently, but he claims to be a beginner at fighting on land.
*Secondary powers:
~Atlantean phisiology: Trout's skin is hardened to survive deep water pressures but is flexible enough for him to move freely between ocean dephts and dry land. Similarly he apparently can breath both in water and air, gills are visible on his neck but unless one cut him open noones sure what keeps him going on land. Though he seems worried about dehydrating.
*Equipment;
*jawbone knife: Kept on a leg sheath, he has yet to wield it but it's similarly jewel encrusted and he does hold it close.
*Satchel: contains...something. Probably of some value.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Code Name: N/A
*Alter Ego: Kendra MacCrimmon
*Origin: Kendra is a simple person for the most part. Born in Edinburgh, Scottland she had a wealthy family who loved her. Then on her thirteenth birthday things changed when she did into a girl she thought was 'prettier than her'. Almost indistinguishable, Kendra's inherent powers as a shapeshifter were apparent to the entire city block and in a panic she ran off.
She never gave her family a chance to at least try and understand or pretend they still loved her. Truth be told she assumed the worst, but she never did learn their reaction to the incident. She quickly exited the UK. Being on the run is never easy, but when all you need to do is pickpocket someone you got a good look at, certain opportunities arrive. Four years down the road she has things down to a science, her journey just happens to be leading her towards Reach City.
*Public status: goldengirl.
*appearance: varies heavily due to shapeshifting powers. Her preferred look as of currently is the following
img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/85a3028caf0539dfabab2d7fe90420c2/http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l45/kkk_046/RPC/blondeanimegirl.png
*Costume: N/A but whatever she imagines.
Primary Powers: Shapeshifitng- So long as she has an image in he r memory she can morph her body into it. Usually clothes sick, but so long as 'real' over-clothes are not worn she can mimic texture to some extent, although it exerts her more than she'd like.
Secondary power: Body morphing- new trick she's working on. While normally she needs a full image to replicate something, she's currently got a 'custom' image in her head, taking certain parts and reshaping them individually. This expands her power set to make any combination, and raising limitations of who she can turn into. Her current appearance is her latest success with this.
Equipment: n/A, she takes what she needs usually.

*Code Name: Wilted Rose
*Alter Ego: Rose Song
*Origin: Born to a family of villains, Rose was practically expected to follow in the footsteps. Wanting to be a regular kid, she grudgingly did so. The youngest out of five, she was the only one to get super-powers naturally through genetics and this was always a sore spot to her siblings. In addition, her father was impressed, but always was the type of man to want to take things a step further. He had the best geneticist he could buy tot ry and analyze her powerset and add some new ones. As such she never really got a good taste of the family life.
She immigrated(read, snuck away) to Reach City because she just wanted to be alone,especially after being put through some very unfortunate situations. Unfortunately her family has friends in many places and she is almost sure to be forced to where she 'needs' to be. Whether she wants to or not, it'd take a miracle to steer her off the path...of course Reach City's a place of miracles as much a sit is a place of heroes.
*Public Status: Villain; Affably evil- She's been raised by a bad man and despite not liking him, is at a stage in her life where she's willing to try anything to keep what freedom she has.
*appearance: archive.nyafuu.org/foolfuuka/boards/w/image/1352/04/1352047036031.jpg
*Costume: Track suit with rose symbol. Tends to come off a bit skimpier than imagined.
*Primary Power: Decay non-organic materials and later on organic life. It's her one true ability, and she's mixed about how to feel about it. She's destroyed a few things on accident and the destructive nature makes her think, but on the other hand it makes keeping her arrested difficult so she finds it almost freeing.
*Secondary abilities:
~Artificial wings for flight and tail for stability, they're mechanical, though at this point Rose would probably have just preferred real bat wings for the hell of it.
~Minor pheronome output to sway/seduce others. Another little experimentation from 'dad', he called it an interesting counter-attack nobody would expect. Not used much by her but it's always an option.
*Equipment: N/A
---------------------------------------------------------------
*Code Name: Natura
*Alter ego: Abigail Parke
*Origin: Abigail always had her powers, but she didn't always know about them. She just thought it was natural and that everyone could talk to animals and plants. She wasn't the most popular kid, so it was mainly being out of touch with everyone else. The first few years of her life were very peaceful and what almost anyone could hope for. Then tragedy struck one day when they were visiting the Historical museum in Reach city. A terrorist bombing by a group known as the firebugs occured and her and her family was caught in the middle of it. As everyone panicked and tried to escape a hero entered to save the day.
Abigail and many of the people trapped inside were saved...however her parents were not so lucky. She was sad, but as a kid it was never a very vivid memory, yet enough to haunt her. after a lot of paperwork and complications, not the least of which was her powers activating in front of some possible adoption parents one very odd day, she was taken in by the very hero who saved her. She didn't hold what happened against him and she vowed to be able to do what he did for her...as well as what he didn't do. She would be a superhero a damn good one too.
The Guardians of the Earth group took her in, she's still undergoing training.

*Code Name: Capt. "Slam" Foreman, formerly Terminator: Charon
working under the 'Gifted Terminator Squad'.
*Alter-ego: Henry Carter Foreman
*Origin: Carter grew up in Reach City. He went to the local school and excelled, being a very smart individual.His life seemed set to be an engineer, but a cruel twist of fate tends to rear its head in these circumstances. He was one of many victims of a villain attack and following hero brawl which took out a large portion of innocents(his graduating class made up a large amount of the victims). While they all tried to recover, the following week a student picked on went crazy and caused even more death before he could be stopped. Broken, his intelligence and skill was ripe for the picking for the G.T.S.(Gifted Terminator Squad), an almost cult-like organization who looked to eradicate superhumans. He was picked up and trained to take kill superheroes and villains alike. To him it didn't matter at this point when either could cause so much trouble
He worked for the group for many years, taking out super-powered individuals, both good and bad until one day he decided to turn himself in(reasons unknown). Though Reach city officials got ahold of him before any angry survivors could and he was acquitted on the condition he take up as a Specialized task force for police to stop such 'terrorist' attacks in a way better than genocide. He had no problems with this and was convinced quite fast. In recent time, he's created the TRU,
a special branch in Reach City Police Department, meant to stop or keep high level threats at bay when heroes are unable to respond. Think a SWAT teams on crack, they have access to better training than most military's, advanced equipment from the local GEAR tech lab firm, as well as superpowered individuals trained in a less lethal but just as effective methods Foreman's made up in his decades of experience.

-Other:

~personal mind blocker. A particularly important device, it's meant to interrupt psychic feed a telepath would use, garbling the transmission of any mind reading attempts within 5 yards of the device.

*Code Name: Trout
*Alter ego: Jun'Fah
*Origin: Jun'Fah is a scrawny runaway, while he's young and kind, it's what he's running from that's the secret. He-(classified)

*Secondary powers:
~Atlantean phisiology: Trout's skin is hardened to survive deep water pressures but is flexible enough for him to move freely between ocean dephts and dry land.

Though he seems worried about dehydrating.
*Equipment;
*jawbone knife: Kept on a leg sheath, he has yet to wield it but it's similarly jewel encrusted and he does hold it close.
*Satchel: contains...something. Probably of some value.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Code Name: N/A
*Alter Ego: Kendra MacCrimmon
*Origin: Kendra is a simple person for the most part. Born in Edinburgh, Scottland she had a wealthy family who loved her. Then on her thirteenth birthday things changed when she did into a girl she thought was 'prettier than her'. Almost indistinguishable, Kendra's inherent powers as a shapeshifter were apparent to the entire city block and in a panic she ran off.
She never gave her family a chance to at least try and understand or pretend they still loved her. Truth be told she assumed the worst, but she never did learn their reaction to the incident. She quickly exited the UK. Being on the run is never easy, but when all you need to do is pickpocket someone you got a good look at, certain opportunities arrive. Four years down the road she has things down to a science, her journey just happens to be leading her towards Reach City.
*Public status: goldengirl.
*appearance: varies heavily due to shapeshifting powers. Her preferred look as of currently is the following
img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/85a3028caf0539dfabab2d7fe90420c2/http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l45/kkk_046/RPC/blondeanimegirl.png
*Costume: N/A but whatever she imagines.
Primary Powers: Shapeshifitng- So long as she has an image in he r memory she can morph her body into it. Usually clothes sick, but so long as 'real' over-clothes are not worn she can mimic texture to some extent, although it exerts her more than she'd like.
Secondary power: Body morphing- new trick she's working on. While normally she needs a full image to replicate something, she's currently got a 'custom' image in her head, taking certain parts and reshaping them individually. This expands her power set to make any combination, and raising limitations of who she can turn into. Her current appearance is her latest success with this.
Equipment: n/A, she takes what she needs usually.
