Sir Mordred Pendragon
Pilot of Gwydion The Sentinel
Nephew of Arthur, Son of Morgana
Lord Marshal of The Outer-Reaches
Huntmaster of Kamelot

While Sir Mordred's titles are nearly as well known as his accomplishments, few beyond The Round Table know his true purpose in the machine that is Kamelot.

Most well known of those duties: As Kamelot's Huntmaster, Mordred is responsible for Kamelot's Internal Security and the Active Recon patrols of Kamelot's bounderies (the string of mobile fortresses known as The Outer-Reaches). Said internal security, and patrols are routinely executed by 'Mordreds Rangers', hand-picked Crown-Appointed-Officers tasked with upholding The Kings Law. As Lord Marshal of The Outer-Reaches, Mordred's holdings are forever Arthur's first line of defense. The Outer-Reaches, are ancient and mysterious wonders of technological genius... Fully automated and mobile fortresses designed to allow for strategic relocation should Kamelot's borders (or strategic needs) expand, contract, or demand. Legend holds that only a scion of Pendragon Blood can command these fortresses.

Unknown to any save Merlin (whom annointed him), is Mordred's true Duty. As Kamelot's Intelligence Specialist (or Spymaster) Mordred holds the unsavory duty of monitoring, identifying, and eliminating any and all threats to The Crown... be they from within, or without... by whatever means deemed necessary. His actions are accountable to none, but with this great responsibility comes a great lonliness and great personal risk (for himself, and the network of spies who can fully expect to be disavowed and likely killed if ever discovered). In personality, Mordred sees himself the Martyr, one who sacrifices EVERYTHING, even his own Honor, to ensure his beloved King and friends never have to. So long as they can remain virtuous and honorable, Mordred can content himself knowing that The Greater Good is being served.

To compliment to his Duties, both public and secret, Sir Mordred was awarded a special Knight: Gwydion The Sentinel. An iconic symbol of protection, and habitual 'First Responder' to threats against The Crown and Kamelot alike. Gwydion is clearly a Knight designed for High Speed and Long Range Interdiction, Interception, and Response. Where Arthur and his Knight inspire Hope, Gwydion fosters feelings of relief and security... For when Gwydion arrives, then Hope (in the shape of Arthur and his other Knights) cannot be far behind!

Much like Mordred, Gwydion is more than meets the eye. It's true name, a name not recorded, nor known to any save Merlin and Mordred: Gwydion The Deciever... A Knight whose true purpose lies beyond the scope of Kamelot's ideals, a Knight created for Wars Unseen, nor bound in chivalric code. Designed specifically for a resourceful warrior... one uninhibited by the bounds of honorable combat, and equipped for such tactics as only a true Spymaster could appreciate. Ancient and describedly dirty tactics such as manipulation of light (invisibility/cloaking and illusions), electronic warfare (EM Pulses/Shielding), The most advanced communications and sensor array ever created (capable of encrypting, decrypting, scrambling, translating, or detecting anything given time), and even the less-than-chivalrous default shape of his morphic Primary Weapon (an enourmous compound bow)...

As you saw, Mordred and Arturas are my favored concepts. Here's an RP sample. I free-wrote it, with no pre-planning. Not my best work... but it'll do. Typo's, well.. I did my best. Silly touch-screens!

2) You are invited to a masquerade ball, along with several other nobles, and a single other Knight of the Round Table. But as in most such social events, the evening is heavy with intrigue...

----------------------

The Fesitval of Samhain. Harvest's End, and Winter's Beginning. A turbulent time for any Dynasty... an event celebrating the bounties of a hard season, while fending off ominous fears of the season to come. A time when a King can truly see the love, or enmity of his People... aaand he thought a Masquerade was the best way to celebrate his first Samhain in power?! Mordred silently fumes, stalking the halls in full costume. He rounds a pillar, searching the crowd for Sir Kay.

Not the easiest of tasks, given the near uniform appearance of all assembled. With only the Masques permitted as signs of individuality, Sir Kay could have been any one of the hundreds of larger masqued shapes before him. Luckily, Mordred was no mere guest. The moment the Masquerade had been announced, he'd ensured that his Security Personnel were the sole distributers of Masques in Kamelot. Every Masque had been inventoried, tagged, catelogged, and verified against owners upon admittance.  Wildcards were conveniently recognized, and chosen for 'random security screening' in siderooms and added in accordingly. The HUD inside his own Masque this evening was interfaced with that database.

Time was fleeting. Kay's Masque had made it through Security. He was a VIP, and his Masque was accounted for. Not a single question had been asked.

Idiot Mordred fumes at his own short sightedness, looking to the Masque-less man beside him. Sir Kay was sporting a swollen eye, and wouldn't be able to chew solid foods for a week at least. He'd been blinsided and replaced by an Austirian Spy if Mordreds suspicions were correct. "Do you see him?"

"Evweone  wooks da same." Kay answers painfully, his words barely understandable over the swelling. Then his good eye alights: "Dere!" Mordred's eyes trace the indicated path, and his HUD readout confirms. "Watch the North Exit, I've got men on the South. He's mine." Mordred snakes into the crowd before Kay can argue. Mordreds HUD follows Kay as he folllows orders, albeit angrily. With a smile Mordred closes on the imposter. 

As the King begins his speech, the imposter is dragged discreetly to the dungeons. Even Kay, trying to observe fails to see Mordred at work or where the imposter vanishes to. Moments later, Kay's Masque is returned, and a guard explains that it had been a mere farmboy trying to impress one of the Servants by appearing at this party to woo her.  Sir Mordred was of course ensuring such would never happen again. If Kay ever followed up, unlikely as such might be, a sufficiently sized farmboy would be paid to corroberate the fiction. Luckily Kay was a kind a forgiving soul, unlikely to think badly of a simple man trying to impress a girl. He'd no doubt assume he was chosen as being able to survive such a solid hit no worse for the where and see it as an honor.

Much to the captured assassin's bad luck, Mordred was far from so naive or forgiving.

Gwydion The Sentinel
True Name: Gwydion The Deciever



The idea is for the top-of-the-line RECON sort of mobile armor. Scouting, Reconing, Skirmishing if necessary. Getting the word out that help is needed where and when.

SUBTYPES

0.) ACE (Elite Status!)
1.) SCOUTING
2.) SPECIAL (Electronic Warfare type stuff. EMP's, Holography Systems, Cloaking Field, Stealth Tech, Lockdowns, Hacking/Slicing, etc. Dishonorable... buuut yeah! Another might be Transformative abilities... changing to meet mission needs.)

SIZE

Light

COLORS

Black and Gray, red accents. Yellow LED's on "face"

TACTIC

Predominately Ranged/Sniping... but if transformative, that'd be slick. Sort of Legolas... maybe the giant bow can become two short sowrds.

ADDITIONS

Ability to Collapse/be-carried
Secondary Forms (or maybe just the primary weapon transforms)
Better Ability to fight in different Environs
Unique
Sustenance
Signature Weapon
Voiced AI
Cargo Hold
Passengers in cockpit
self destruct


POINTS TO SPEND
This guy is about hit and run type tactics until the heavy hitters arrive... and sniping/helping from the shadows when they do! More a skirmisher than a fighter.

5 -Mobility (The Armor's ability to move around the battlefield quickly and efficiently.)

5 -Sensors (Your Armor's sensors' power, versatility and reach.)

5 -Manoeuvrability (The Armor's reflexive capability and reaction speed, as well as its nimbleness.)

Hey boss

I habe a handful of pitches here, mostly old CAD's from games that died too early (including the aforementioned Daredevil from your Spiderman and Friends game). I'd jump at a chance to play any of them... Daedevil, Gambit, Cyclops, Wolverine, Hex (a custom), Thunderstrike, Nightwing...

I've got two more on the backburner to flesh out (a young Hellboy, Lion-O of the Thundercats, or maybe an Earth Bender). Oi. It's going on midnight now though, and I've got a long day ahead of me tomorrow.

Sorry the formatting changes here and there... my CAD template has quite obviously evolved over the years!

===================
  (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:


Most of Matt's erliest memories are a blur of contradictions~ A father instilling in him the 'typical' boy hobbies and traits... conflicting with his mothers insistance that he hit the books and make something of himself, so as to facilitate her vicarious need for him to escape Hells Kitchen!

The even balance of Motherly Wishes and Fatherly Instigations was shattered the moment he witnessed his fathers death, and subsequent last words ('Run Free, Run Proud, Fear No Evil.'). He turned his back upon his studies, began running with 'bad' circles, and even took up activities that were described as borderline suicidal according to his therapist (most noteably his attempts at Extreme Parkour).

Matthew's mother, Grace, despaired of reigning her son in... and only a cruel seeming twist of fate would finally assist her in doing so. One night, whilst out for a run (or running from someone/something, he doesn't really recall), Matthew stumbled across a mugging. He hadn't intended to get involved. They were a common occurrance, and he'd thought to go his own way. Sadly, the mugger took him in hand and held the gun to his head as motivation for the stranger. Matt, looked the Mugger in the eye and shouted his defiance, daring him to pull the trigger. Startled, the mugger did so. The gun backfired, killing the mugger... the small explosion blinded Matthew.

Rehibilitation was a sombering experience. As if losing his sight weren't enough, the crew he'd considered his 'friends' turned their backs on him. Grace mercilessly struck home the importance of studies now, as he'd never again have a shot at any sort of normal life. If he didn't find a way to stand out now...

It was a fair seven months before Matt discovered his 'secret'. Blind as he'd become, something had happened to his other senses. He'd read about it somewhere once, that sometimes senses would amplify to off-set the loss or retardation of another... but this, this was extreme.

Coping was difficult in and of itself, but eventually after a fair many migraines, Matt adjusted to his new senses. No longer impeded, Matt felt like he could 'SEE' better than he ever had with eyes. His Parkour could be taken to an entirely new level now, and best of all~ He could remember dang near EVERYTHING with picture clarity (Things he detects via his sonar like sight, things he smells, things he hears).

This pseudo-sight aside, he'd learned something. Life wasn't about FREE LIVING as he'd thought. He did need to live, BUT, what good was living in a world that was corrupt and evil? His mothers words finally rang true to his ears, finally on the same harmonic.

In the ensuing months, Matt has gone from rebellious Daredevil to literal bookworm at school. 

With his ability to now remember everything he sees/hears/touches/tastes/smells, Matt is freed up from his late-night studies to run the roodtops of his neighborhood. His high grades are sufficient to keep his mother in the dark (her working three jobs helps a lot too). So what does he do? Mostly, he just runs. All evening long, rooft-top to rood-top, extreme feats of Parkour that would dazzle pretty much anyone if he'd left them see~ Inspired by memories of those recent James Bond movies and other Extreme Parkour examples on Youtube that he'd seen before going blind. Free Running makes him feel alive, especially given his impairment.

Two weeks into this new regimen of studying followed by Free Running, Matt started to notice something. A growing hollowness within him. It was still exciting to FEEL the wind rushing by, and be maneuvering his body in ways he never would have dreamt possible before... but it was losing it's luster. 

Despair was grasping for him, and he didn't know how to fend it off. That's when he appeared. 

He called himself 'Stick'. He was creepy, and kept pace with Matt's Free-Running with an ease that belied his apparent age. Were Matt to guess, he'd have suggested the old bugger was at LEAST in his seventies. Creepiness aside, he was an inspiring source of competition and inspiration for new moves and places to try and get to. One night, recently, he told Matt that he'd been waiting his entire life for an apprentice of Matt's caliber. Stick has extended Matt an offer~ To train him in REAL Parkour, not just the self-taught stuff he'd picked up from memories and intuition; The good stuff. The price for this training? Merely that one day, he'd use EVERY tool at his disposal to help clean up HellsKitchen and make it a better place.

HAUNTED PAST (02)
At the age of nine, Matthew and his mother watched helplessly Johnathan Murdock (Matthew's father, the prize Boxer known as Battlin Jack) was gunned down mid-fight for refusing to throw the fight. Johnathan's last words to his son were: 'Run Free, Run Proud, Fear No Evil.' Words that inspired in young Matthew a bit of a DareDevil complex... Despite his mothers insistance that he focus every ounce of energy he had on becoming a Lawyer, so as to one day be able to make changes to the legal system that had failed to find justice for Johnathan's murder, Matthew became far more interested in LIVING his life; He fell in with 'bad' circles, and indulged in every self-destructive behavior imagineable. He committed crimes, picked on his peers, and was the definition trouble-maker

PHYSICAL IMPAIRMENT [BLIND] (01)
Recently blinded in a horrible accident, Young Matthew now has tell-tale milky white eyes and is unable to 'see' in the conventional sense.

PSYCHOLOGICAL [FEARLESS] (02)
Despite the notion that having been rendered blind has 'grounded' young Matthew and realigned his focus to studying where it should be... he is at his core still a Man Without Fear, and his rooftop antics have only increased (though he is far more discreet about them now).

PSYSCHOLOGICAL [TEMPER] (02)
Matt's mom has always been vocal about pointing out that he's inherited his fathers temper, a temper which has turned to a cold burning rage inside the youth...

SHUNNED BY PEERS (02)
Matt may have turned 180 in his outlook on life, but his peers aren't about to 'Forgive and Forget' the absolute @ss he'd been the previous two years. His old friends see him as a hinderance-turned-nerd. Those he once picked on see someone who has finally gotten his due. It's a rare few, naive, or ignorant that takes a chance on befriending this young man!

===================
  (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:


Born into, and raised by, the infamous New Orleans Thieves Guild... Remy never got to know his true parents. His mother died during child birth, and his Father was incarcerated in a Maximum Security Prison (reportedly serving three life sentences with no chance of parole).

To say that the entire Guild was, and is, his family is an understatement. Whatever crime Remy's father committed before being locked away apparently won him great respect and renknown. His son, Remy, was treated almost like royalty within the Guild.

Remy was taught the basics of pan-handeling at five, and was an accomplished Pick Pocket by age seven. At age eight he was a designated look-out, three such instances resulting in under-age arrests.

At age nine, Remy had his first scuffle with an independent pick-pocket. Having failed to adequately account for himself in the fight inspired his 'Family' to teach him the ins and outs of fighting.

It was at age eleven, while playing catch with his best friend (Belladonna Boudreaux) that his mutagenic power first manifested in a visible manner. The resultant explosion badly burned Bella, and she might have died had 'The Pale Man' (A creepy Street-Doctor that was well known in the slums) not been walking by at just the right moment. He was able to assist Bella in a timely enough fashion that scarring was minimal... and even explain to Remy what had happened.

Another year would pass, and Remy was careful to keep his new ability a secret. It was his edge he'd decided, The thing that would one day help him stand out in the Trials of Succession.

Sadly, fate did not agree.

A Hiest gone terribly wrong, Remy was forced to use his ability to fend off pursuing police while he and his guild-mates fled a crime scene. They panicked, one even took a shot at him (claiming he looked to be devil-posessed). Remy, with a bullet hole in his arm, ran for his life. He stole a car, and was making for Texas when he was apprehended by the authorities.

The State Correctional System saw fit to foster Remy across the country, well beyond the sphere of influence of his 'gang'... giving him the opportunity to turn his life around. His described 'Last Shot'.

At a loss, Remy accepted. He had no where else to turn. His own 'Family' had literally shot at him... 

Luckily, Remy's new Foster Parent was a man of a different stripe. He was a man well informed of Remy's nature. One capable of not only understanding it, but nurturing it. His name is Erik Lensherr, and under his guidance, Remy has seemingly escaped his old life... into this Brotherhood of mutants, Remy had found acceptance.

His iris' are Red with black flecks. Whenever he uses any of his abilities the white of his eyes goes solid black.

MUTANT (03)
Having grown up with 'evil' looking eyes, Remy is no stranger to the judgement and prejudice of the comman man... luckily the current fad of colored contacts has done wonders to offuscate his physical deformity.

PSYCHOLOGICAL [CORRUPTED YOUTH] (02)
Remy was raised by professional thieves... embracing all those morals and values attributed to the lifestyle

PSYCHOLOGICAL [ADRENALINE JUNKIE] (02)
The rush of adrenaline is as intoxicating as any drug to young Remy, and is a state he lunges after with wild abandon. Never one to turn down a Dare, Challenge, or Chance to Impress a pretty girl... Remy rarely heeds caution in pursuit of that rush.

INDEBTED TO 'THE PALE MAN' (02)
Remy owes Sinister for saving the life of his best friend, who was gravely injured by the initial manifestation of Remy's mutagenic ability.

CRIMINAL RECORD (01)
Remy has an under-aged Criminal Record. Three counts of Accomplice to Burglary, and One Count of Grand Theft Auto all before the age of thirteen; He was then taken into State Correctional Custody, and removed from his Guilds Sphere of Influence (well away from New Orleans). While these acts have been deemed insufficient for personal incarceration, they have been entered into his permenent record and will follow him for the remainder of his life.

===================
  (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:

The Summers Family was a reputed family of Aviators, tracing back to the earliest origins of Flight in American History.

It was a family tradition, yearning for the freedom of the skies.

At an early age, Scott learned the basics of flight and gliding. His parents took him sky-diving for his 12th birthday. He loved it.

A mechanical malfunction caused one such outting to go horribly wrong. Scott and his Brother were sent from the plane first. A secondary explosion killed his parents (still in the plane), and seperated him from his younger brother Alex (who has never turned up, and is presumed dead and lost at sea).

The traumatized young child entered into the Alaskan Foster System, where he spent the next year of his life.

It was a cold summer morning the first time Scott's ability manifested itself... and had it not been for the precognitive abilities of one of Xaviers earliest mutant contacts, Scott's life might have turned drastically different. Lucky for Scott, Xavier showed up within minutes of the accident with the solution in hand. An hour later, Summers was officially his ward and on a Plane to New York.

That was three years ago.

MUTANT (03)
You guessed it! Those ruby-quartz goggles aren't exactly a fashion statement.

FAVORED PUPIL (02)
Scott was adopted by Charles three years ago. He was his first pupil, and as such is widely recognized as his favored one. Scott is the eldest student, and the most experienced. He has been groomed to be precisely the man Charles felt Mutant-Kind would need: Dedicated, Honest, Intelligent, Capable, Honorable, and Loyal.

ZEALOT (02)
Some people have Dreams. Other people believe in, and support them. Scott? He strives to EMBODY Xaviers dream... and would blindly follow the man, and his vision, into the pits of Hell itself. His absolute trust in Xavier is disconcerting to some, some have even suggested it borders on fanaticism.

HAUNTED PAST (03)
Scott's parents died in a plane crash. His memories of the traumatic event are mere flashes. The explosion, the turbulents, the rush of cold air as he and his brother lept hand-in-hand from the rear of the plane... most disturbingly of all, is the secondary explosion that forced him apart from his brother during free fall. Alex was never found. Scott blames himself, for having failed to hold on to him. This early failure has caused Scott to maintain an emotional level of detachment with everyone around him.

HESITANT TO USE POWER (02)
Despite his training and conditioning, Scott's Optic Blasts are EXTREMELY dangerous and Destructive. As such, he's more than a little afraid to ever fully unleash the brunt of it on another living being. On the rare occasions that he's let loose, it's been used as intimidation or destruction of terrain/structure/etc

DEADLY ENEMY (03)
Scott doesn't know it, yet, but Sinister has been monitoring and manipulating his life since he was born... and has plans for Scott. Big plans.

COMPULSION TO STICK UP FOR THE UNDERDOG  (03)
Ever the Boyscout, Scott can't help but stick his proverbial nose into business he should steer well clear of in his efforts to champion those who cannot champion themselves.

Logan[/SIZE][/u]

===================
  (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:


James 'Logan' Howlett doesn't know much about himself. What teenager does though?

Logan grew up in the New York State Foster Care Service. Bouncing from one Agency Home to another, before the first adoption at age 11. 

The records show that the pairing was deemed a 'Bad Fit', and that Logan's propensity for acting out had resulted in his remedial custodianship by the State of New York. Those records cite that the young Logan claimed abuse, but no evidence would ever be found to sufficiently prove it. It's not like the abusive father was going to admit that his inflicted bruises had healed within moments, or the arm he'd broken had mended within hours. The shock, and insult to his manhood, had caused him to overlook the convenience of a continued abusive relationship that he could never be prosecuted for. The beatings got worse; Baseball bats, chairs, broomsticks. When the old man gave himself a heart-attack and died (not surprisingly while beating the puss out of Logan), Logan was finally freed and taken back into Foster Care... the System none the wiser for the life they were rescuing him from, and labeling him ungrateful for.

In the face of such hardships, young orphans tend to develop a 'Hard Edge' to their persona's. Logan, was no exception. 

Detentions, Suspensions, Expulsions. They fell off of him as rain from the sky. He was a Rebel without a Cause, a kid who realized that consequences just weren't his thing.

By age 16, Logan was an iconic burn-out in the making according to his teachers. The local police had there suspicions of DUI's, but could never land anything except Underage Driving and Wreckless Endangerment. 

The Foster System was on the verge of washing their hands of the youth, when Charles Xavier found him. His charasmatic charm had somehow won the stubborn boy over, convinced him to agree to one more shot at a new Institute before Emancipating himself.

In hindsight, Logan suspects that Charles may have used psychic coercion (Now that he knows what the guy is capable of). Not that it matters though. Logan has discovered he's not alone, or not as alone as he'd thought he was. He's part of something here, part of something that's not quite Family... but something that might be worth actually sticking around for. It's not the Dream. Logan gets the Dream, he understands why Charles is fighting to make it a reality. Logan think's the Dream is pure fantasy. He's seen Real Life. Real Human Nature. He knows that Nightmare for what it is. 

Fighting is something Logan's good at though, and he's chosen to try and Fight that Nightmare by supporting the Dream.

At this new... Institution, Logan claims to not be from anywhere. He claims no family of note, and in fact has insinuated having no memory of a life before coming to Xaviers (but never outright said such is the case). A carefully constructed lie.

Charles hasn't done anything to fracture this lie of amnesia, knowing it's a Trust Issue. Charles firmly believes that once Logan realizes that this is the Family he'd always dreamt of, he'll open up.

ADDICTION [SMOKING] (01)
Logan is a habitual smoker. The momentary rush of nicotine is fast enough, and short-lived enough that it's not countered by his Healing Factor (like any of the other heavier drugs he's tried have thus far proven)

COMPULSION TO STICK UP FOR THE UNDERDOG (03)
Despite his own hangups and issues, Logan has on more than one occasion stuck his neck out for others in similar or worse situations than him within the Foster Care system... Taking blame and shouldering responsibility, or even just getting down right physical if the opportunity arose.

MUTANT (03)
Logan doesn't know much about himself, but he knows he's more than human.

PSYCHOLOGICAL [SELF DESTRUCTIVE] (03)
A common issue with Orphans is a low sense of Self-Worth. Logan's is lower than most, a direct result of the traumatic verbal and physical abuse from his first adoptive father. It is his lack of self worth that has inspired his self-destrictive tendencies~ Drinking and Driving, The Hardest Drugs he could find, Picking Fights with anyone and everyone... He's been kicked out of three schools, and self-sabotaged more than one adoption interview.

PSYCHOLOGICAL [AUTHORITY ISSUES] (02)
It should come as no surprise that Logan has some serious issues with authoritarian figures.

Shadow of the Bat 05
Dick has, and always will, live in The Shadow of the Bat. Heroes and Villains aplenty will recognize him always as the once protege' of the infamous Batman and measure him accordingly against that man. Added to this, Dicks own inesecurities and hang-ups concerning his own expected succession of the Cowl one day...

Compulsion To Stick Up For The Underdog 05

Haunted Past 03
The Murder of his parents, and his failure to account for Two-Faces duplicity (in the subsequent murder of the DA despite his best efforts to save him) in his early career have made for some dark and forming experiences for Dick.

Tragic Love 02
Dick is still deeply in love with Barbera Gordon, but cannot bring himself to commit to her so long as he's still actively fighting crime and putting his life on the line for Gotham (and the World).

Secret Identity 03

Rogues Gallery (Deadly Enemies) 04
From the moment Two-Face killed his parents, though his tenure as Robin, and now into his solo career... Dick has been garhering a veritable galleries worth of enemies who'd love to see him dead.

Hex is an immortal Arcane Bounty Hunter. For as long as he can remember, he's sold
his services/power to the highest bidder... the money used to fuel his own quests of
Vengeance, Greed, and Lust over the millenia. His peers laugh, and call him short-sighted.
His enemies quiver in fear, baffled at his potent abilities.

His employers? A mix of pride, discomfort, fear, respect, and any number of other oppinions
which matter very little to Hex. If the money is good, he's onboard (and by money, he doesn't
always mean cash, but it will do).

Hex cannot remember his life before the Spanish Inquisition. He doesn't even recall how
it was he came to be a Grande Inquisitor in the Inquisitions... only that he was. Not only
that, but he was one of the best. More than 13 actual witches/warlocks met their Trials
and Deaths at his hands. It was this vocation that would eventually lead him to take up
Mercenary work (after all, the Church would only find him useful for so long). Bounty Hunting,
Assassination, Infiltration, and even the occasional Procurement. The coin earned was always
invested in his vices, or upon obtaining mystical artifacts to further his personal power.

Around the early 1900's or so he met a mark who he'd apparently crossed spells with once
before in the late 1300's. The man dropped a few hints of his Pre-Hex days, when Hex was 
apparently more commonly known as The Adeptus (A title, not a name he suspects). If the
Mark was to be believed, Hex had once been an upstanding and well respected occultist. One
of the most potent apparently before his... 'Fall From Grace'.

What inspired his fall, is another of many memories Hex has no clue or care about.

Hex likes his life. He likes the money, and he likes where he's going.

INHUMAN APPEARANCE 03
Born with an inhuman visage. Stone gray skin, strange blue tattoo-esque markings
and white pupil-less eyes.

HAUNTED PAST 06
Hex knows he has been alive for longer than he can recall, but he has no memories
prior to the Spanish Inquisitions (where he was a Grande Inquisitor). According to the journals he found, he was a Grande Inquisitor. He has been able
to learn he was once a highly acclaimed and respected occultest known as The Adeptus
(Which he suspects to be a Title of some sort). If the stories he's learned are true,
it was his lust for Power that resulted in his 'Fall From Grace' from the Magickal 
Community... his current vocation, immoral actions, and greed have done little to improve
this standing. It seems he's a reputation of sorts the world over, though the stories frequently contradict themselves.

DEADLY ENEMIES 04
While not a True Sorcerer, Hex has more than his fair share of enemies amidst the Magickal
Community (in addition to many others) in his quests to acquire Wealth and Magickal
Artifacts (in his own name, or for his employers). Most such enemies have landed themselves
in the Dead Book... but more than a few escaped no doubt.

---------------------
Donald Blake
THUNDERSTRIKE
---------------------

Donald Blake was a young boy, rendered comatose at age 11. Lying in a hospital in such a state for four years... until approached within his comatose slumber by the Mythic God Odin. Recognizing the God for who he was from his studies, having recently done a book report on Viking Mythologies, Donald was in awe. The AllFather spoke to the boy, recognizing his brave action that had lead to his current state~ The boy tackled a homeless man about to be run down by a speeding car, pushing the man to safety at cost of his own. To this end, he gave him an offer. His own son, Thor, was lacking in such concern for Mortals. A lesson in Humility was needed, and Odin wished for his son to live as a mortal for ten years... In exchange, Odin offered to cure the boy of his Coma and heal his shattered body. For the duration of his son's use of Donalds body, the boy might come to live in Asgard and in turn inhabit the true body of Thor. To live as a God amongst Gods for ten years... 

The young boy accepted, and his spirit was transferred into that Thor. Ever wise, Odin ensured that Thor's own memories were merged with that of the youthful Donald... he would not need them in his mortal life after all. The Thor-inhabited Donald went on through High school and College, ignorant of his true identity.

So it was, that for ten years, the real Donald Blake was Thor. An amalgam of two lives... the Thor that the world needed. It was much to Odin's consternation that this 'Thor' had more concern for mortals than he'd intended. He showed greater concern for Midgard than Asgard and had abandoned his duties on more than one occasion to aid his Earthen allies amidst the Avengers.

In the year 2001, Thor was summoned before Odin. The AllFather revealed to 'Thor' the truth... and that the time of the Bargain was at hand. Donald was to be returned to his own body, now healed and grown so that the true Thor might return home and resume his place in Asgard. Each would as reward, be restored with only the memories of the lives they should/would have lead bereft of this 'punishment'. 

Donald saw immediately what would happen. Odin had decided the grass was not greener. He wanted his son back, focused as ever on The End Game rather than the Current Game. Earth, or rather Midgard, would be without Thor as a defender. The Avengers, his allies and friends, would be without their ally in times of need.

Donald argued with Odin again, championing Earths need for a Hero like Thor. If Thor were removed from the board, then whom would they rely on in times of gravest peril? Midgard was the Gods responsibility in Donalds eyes, a lesson Odin had claimed time and again was one he'd wanted his son to learn! Surely, Donald felt, Odin could see that the Heroic Spirit was not dead... and that the new breed of Heroes while potent could not be left abandoned.

As one might expect, the argument fell upon uncaring ears. The AllFather had far greater concerns... ones of more cosmic and far reaching consequence. The Bargain was complete, and Donald was no longer required. He was thanked for his service... and woke up on Earth.

Something was different though. Donald awoke with his memories, both of being a mortal boy and growing up on Earth... but he also remembered his time in Asgard. Further, his body felt stronger than it should. Not so strong as when he was Thor, but stronger by far than any mundane human could claim.

Most surprising of all? An Uru Mace lying next to him on the ground. Engraved upon it's business end a simple sentence in runes: "Thunderstrike"

In the silence of his mind, he can hear his own words echoing back to him... overlaid with the voice of Odin and accompanied by strange chanting: The World Still Needs Heroes. 

He might not be the heavyweight Thor was... but Donald recognized what had been granted to him by the AllFather. Enough power to do Right. Enough backing to stand up and be the Hero the world needed.

CHALLENGES 16

Dual-Memories 02
Donald has effectively lived twenty years in the span of ten. By having ten years of memories from two seperate people suddenly mixed together it's created a hazy mess that's difficult to sort through at times.

Deadly Enemies 05
While he's not the same Thor that once served to protect Earth (physcially), few villains or 
past enemies are likely to stop long enough to mark the distinct differences... and when those enemies are accustomed to facing a being as powerful as Thor... how well will Thunderstrike  weather the attacks intended for Thor? When past enemies see how vulnerable he has become in his new state, they'll surely gather with vengeance in their eyes.

Psychological - CtSUFtU 04
Having lived a life as a veritable God of Thunder, charged with safeguarding both Asgard and Midgard, Donald has developed a Hero complex. A complex so thick, that he literally argued with Odin the AllFather of Asgard himself when his tenure as Thor had come to an end. Now, empowered with the power of Thunderstrike he's poised to continue his old Heroics. Foolish though this may be, it is the life he chose and argued for.

Overconfident 03
Having been Thor for ten years, Donald is surely going to be very overconfident in his abilities. A dangerous thing to be in his chosen line of work. It will likely be some time before he fully realizes his potentials, and his limits... both lessons he's poised to learn the hard
way just how literal of a 'Glass Cannon' he is.

Vulnerable Loved Ones 02
Donalds parents spent ten years getting to know the Son they'd thought they'd never know. Or more accurately, the son they might have had. Donalds not sure how that fits. Regardless, he's chosen to leave them in the dark about his having assumed the mantle of Hero.

Conflicting Interests 03
Between his responsibilities to The Avengers, The Defenders, His Wife and Son, and the general public... Donald is a man besieged by demands even the God of Thunder was hard pressed to juggle. What then might happen if, nay... when Asgard calls upon him as well?

THE CAPTAIN

[/size]
(Name negotiable!)
==================================
==================================

Realization hits, another day is gone. Like waking up from a dream, the details vanish faster than sand from a clenched fist. Just like that, it's gone. The Captain looks up at himself in the mirror, that masked vigilante looking back at him is the closest thing to an identity that he has. Some wear masks to hide who they are... The Captain wears a mask because it's the only face he recognizes as his own. The one beneath is a complete stranger.

THE TRUTH: Ex-SHIELD Agent Tyler Wolfe was injected with a captured Nazi Super Soldier Serum. SHIELD thought they'd found a way to bring Captain America back, a way to redeem The Patriot fiasco. Something went wrong (only SHIELD knows the truth about what happened), Tyler was imprisoned and forgotten about.

After his escape, the practically amnesiac-Tyler followed intuition and located an old Avengers safe house in Oklahoma. Long since abandoned, the cache hadn't been updated since before the infamous Patriot fiasco... as a result, a spare set of armor and shield were there. Feeling drawn to them, Tyler took them. Countless hours watching old videos inspired the re-painting and adopting of his new vigilante identity. Seven days later nothing remained but the hero he's become.

=================================

SEVEN DAYS 03W
As a side effect of the Nazi serum, he can only retain Seven days worth of short-term memory at a time (Every seven days, he loses the oldest day). Pre-Injection conditioning and training remains, however memory of having learned it is gone along with all personal memories. This also inhibits expanding those old skill sets, or learning new ones (beyond physical skills learned via his Photographic Reflexes).

SECRET 02W
While he's already forgotten, he was recently an escaped convict of The Raft. In assuming the vigilante guise to hide... he has effectively become the hero he was pretending to be. Precisely what he was in for, or what name he was incarcerated under are long gone from his memory. Discovery would lead to discrediting the new Hero and all his works, and likely to being jailed for crime(s) he has zero memory of.

PSYCHOLOGICAL [Paranoia] 02
He's extremely paranoid, but has no idea why... Made all the worse by being aware of his seven-day memory limitations, and is in turn the source of a mild insecurity. What if there really IS someone out there hunting him? What if he really DID do something bad to result in his memory condition? What if the things he's forgotten are important?

PSYCHOLOGICAL 02
He knows that he's no Captain America, likely not even The Patriot, but he can't help but feel like he's the next best thing... and that it's his job to live up to those icons who came before him, because he CAN.

HEX, THE ARCANE BOUNTYHUNTER

[/color][/size]
==================================
==================================
==================================


Born in the dark days now labled as BC by modern calendars, the man known as Lazarus was once an accomplished alchemist and novice arcanist. Obsessed with mortality, he devoted his life to curing the 'human condition' as he called it... Until an experiment went horribly wrong. His greatest work, called The Lazarus Pit by his colleagues was intended to alter his physiology and truly make him a being of magic... one unfettered by the constraints of mortality and age. When his incantations were interrupted by a witch-hunting-mob, Lazarus was knocked into the pit prematurely. Horribly burnt, and scarred, he lay on his deathbed for weeks. In a fevered dream, a voice called out to him... and offered him his life, and his true desires, in exchange for a mere ten years of hunting down evil and routing it. Becoming one of the worlds first Bounty Hunters. Stipulations have extended that contract of course (5 year extensions for each death), but the work makes Lazarus feel like it's all worth it in the end.

It seemed a deal too good to pass up, especially with his life seemingly on the line. Centuries later, an infamous Arcane Bounty Hunter... He has zero clue that it was all a sham. He was duped into becoming a Hero of sorts (all the while unwittingly contributing to the errosion of his patrons prison).

LEVERAGED SOUL 03W
In ages long since past, Lazarus leveraged his soul to Dormmamu in exchange for immortality. As part of this, he has become one of many 'footholds' upon this reality. As part of this contract, he has agreed that for each rejuvenation five more years of servitude would be added to his contract (which originally started out as ten years... and is still ongoing now centuries later). Little does he realize, that Dormmamu gave him nothing... for the arcane energies suffusing Lazarus' flesh after his 'accident' had already granted him this. Still, his servitude seems simple enough~ use his abilities to hunt evil in all it's shapes and forms. Yet another bit Lazarus doesn't know: His chaos magicks weaken the dimensional wards protecting the Earth with every use. While not sufficiently powerful for large scale weakenings... the subtle errosions fly beneath the radar of Earths current Sorcerer Supreme.

INHUMAN VISAGE 02W
Lazarus suffered severe chemical burns from his accident, catalyzed by his chaos magicks, they warped his appearance permenantly...

DANGEROUS ENEMIES 03W
Lazarus has been hunting evil for centuries. Not just vanilla mortal evil either. As such, he's made quite the name... and corresponding rogues gallery for himself in both the mystical and criminal elements world-wide.

PSYCHOLOGICAL [CtSuftUD] 02W
Centuries of being a vigilante bounty hunter has lent to Lazarus feeling sympathy for the underdog...

NIGHTWING

[/SIZE][/u]

===================
  (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:

With Teen angst inspiring rising tensions between Bruce Wayne and his ward, something was bound to give... or break. Dick was fastly approaching adulthood, and his ventures in NYC alongside his fellow Teen Titans had shown him a new level of self-worth... for the first time in his life he was being looked to for Leadership... Not followership. Respected for his own merits, not merely as the side-kick of the infamous Batman.

A near-fatal gunshot wound with an armor piercing round brought things to a head. Realizing just how deep down the rabbit hole he'd brought his young ward, Bruce attempted a firm 180 by banning him from The Cave and ending their vigilante partnership.

In wake of the ensuing arguments, and subsequent fallout, Dick fled to New York and took up residence with the Teen Titans... When disaster struck the JLA, Dick lead the Teen Titans in a daring mission to rescue them. In doing so, he demonstrated in more way than one to Bruce just how complex their true issues were. Mere moments after thanking him, Bruce demanded the Robin Mantle back from Dick. If he insisted on continuing down the dark path Bruce had set him upon... he would no longer do so in his Shadow. 

It took nearly a week of moping before Dick realized the hidden message. No forbiddance had come this time, and in an odd twist of events another Robin had been chosen to fill the vacancy. Bruce wasn't ending Robin, and he wasn't telling Dick that he couldn't continue in this calling. What he'd said was that it was time to break free from Bruce's shadow.

If he could...

SHADOW OF THE BAT 03
Having been forged in The Shadows of The Bat, Grayson has always been eclipsed by the greatness of Batman... Only now, standing alone and independent for the first time, can either of them truly see just how far those shadows reach. Just how far into the soul do they burn? Can there be an escape, or once one has embraced that shadow... will it forever be a part of them?

PSYCHOLOGICAL (HERO COMPLEX) 02
Ever since witnessing the deaths of his parents, Dick has silently mourned their loss... and fostered an unspoken need for justice. Luckily, Bruce took that and molded it into the spirit of a true hero... forging the first Robin (and in turn, humanizing himself some perhaps). Regardless, Dick has grown up a vigilante hero. Day in, and Day ou, his quest for justice is unending.

ROGUES GALLERY XX
As of right now, Dick's gallery of foes know him only as Robin. It's only a matter of time before the more observant notice the 'new' Robin is much younger... has his own flair, his own methods... and put that together with his new visage to deduce the truth. The Robin they know and hate has not only flown the coupe... but is alone, and decidedly vulnerable. How long until they come for him? Never mind the new enemies he'll be making as Nightwing...

Kubark, known as Kid Gladiator, is the son of Emperor Gladiator. The young prince was sent to the planet Earth by his father to train and learn more about his powers, and enrolled in the Jean Grey School For Higher Learning. Kid Gladiator was accompanied by Warbird, who was his bodyguard. Kid Gladiator was sent to Earth as a punishment for destroying more than half of the Shi'ar royal city on Chandilar just for fun

Two days after his 17th Birthday, Kubark got the call. The Avengers were offering him a 'Starting Position in the Big Leagues... IF he's ready to play ball.' All human metaphors aside, this was what he'd been waiting for. Plus, it gave him access to some REAL Challengers/Contenders.

VIZIER

[/SIZE][/u]

===================
  (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:

At the age of 19, young Barok was apprenticed alongside Loki Odinson to Asgards Grande Vizier. The two were as brothers, near inseperable. On more than one occassion, Loki even lamented that they would never share the bond of true brotherhood...

Little did Barok realize at the time, but Loki was using him as a pawn, knowing full well that one day Barok would be a full fledged Vizier, entrusted with Odin's most guarded of secrets... things even a son must not know. Within a few years Loki moved on, his heritage demanding further training elsewhere... and the lowly born Barok was eventually initiated into the the next tier of his Vizier induction. Eventually, he would take the fall for one of Loki's plots, and suffer twenty years imprisonment for crimes he did not commit. With naught but the bitter sting of betrayal, and the faintest ghosts of hope, Barok stood his tenure as prisoner with dignity and poise. Odin released him eventually, praising his steadfast loyalty... This had been Barok's final test: Suffering. There had been no betrayal, Loki had long since cast aside his plans for Barok... Odin merely used the setup as validity for the test.

Barok became one of the Viziers officially, his skill in the Dark Arts earning him the rank Adeptus (three ranks shy of Grand Vizier).

For centuries he stood vigil watch at The Well, Observing the goings on of all creation and lending his voice to the chorus of advice. Mind you, as junior-most Vizier, his voice carried little weight (Adeptus rank non-withstanding)

Like his bretheren, Barok hung his head in shame when Loki took to wearing the garments of The Vizier's when upon Midgard. True he was using their arts, but dark were his purpose and words. The reflection on their order was bad, and recruitment numbers dwindled significantly.

Recent events have given rise to an oppertunity to redeem themselves in the eyes of all Asgard however. The Midgard Alliance has asked Odin for help. 

The Grande Vizier saw the light of jope dawn. The Earth's Sorcerer Supreme has seemingly abandoned his post, having accompanied the Earth's mightiest heroes into space... The world has never been so vulnerable. Rather than risk another Odinson (For Thor is also MIA, and Loki is never to be found) The Viziers offer one of their own. Rather than send a warrior, they choose to lend an advisor. One adept in both council and the dark arts. One loyal above all else to Asgard...

MISTAKEN IDENTITY 01  
Barok could very easily pass for Loki, and in fact were he to adopt Loki's horned helmet they might pass for twins to the untrained eye. Few outside of Asgard (or her brother and sister courts) would recognize the armored robes as icons of membership to an order. Most will see Loki without a helmet, or perhaps someone trying to impersonate Loki (badly, again without the helmet).

PSYCHOLOGICAL [Quest of Redemption] 02
Barok seeks to redeem not only The Order of the Viziers (to the eyes of Asgard and Midgard alike), but also his childhood friend whom he closely resembles.

PSYCHOLOGICAL [CtSUFtUD] 03
In true Asgardian Spirit, Barok suffers from a bit of a hero complex... Always looking to champion the innocent and downtrodden.

DANGEROUS ENEMIES 04
Being a native Asgardian alone has it's draw on dangerous foes. Added to that, his rank as an Adeptus in the Viziers, and still more attention will be drawn. As a stand in Sorcerer Supreme, he'll be a beacon in the night for trouble to come a bumpin...[/quote]

[Dhark]

This was a heckuva challenge, toning down my current Hood in Andrews AoA Villains game. I'd have loved doing Strange... buuuut, yeah. I thought I'd spice it up some and leave him for an NPC.

Or not. I'm stil toying with him AND Mordred.

My initial version had a Cloak that gave Invis 3 and Flight 3 (based on Cloak of Levitation)... but that violated the MN rule. So... I embraced more Magical actions to cover him. Lots of good story potential with this guy (plenty of demonic ties, ties to Dormmamu, etc).


==============




THE HOOD

[/SIZE][/u]

===================
  (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:

In The Beginning...

The decision to break into the old Customs Warehouse seemed like a perfectly good one at the time. Destitute and starving, Parker and his younger brother saw potential for gain; Agents of the King Pin were offering a lucrative Finders Fee if anyone could secure any worthwhile merchandise. Of all the things they expected they might find within, never would either of them had ever have guessed a Demon might be among them. 

No. They'd expected something much more mundane. Something believeable. Dust laden shelves, Empty Crates, Old rat chewed ledgers, termite infested furniture, a hobo or three. Only in their wildest dreams would they stumble across items that might be fenced. Even the notion of something terrifyingly realistic like a mutant wasn't on the radar.

To say the pair were rendered inert with shock and horror would be an understatement.

The sound of gunfire broke the moment. Parker looked to his left, his brother had drawn out a pistol and opened fire on the monstrosity. For such teremity, the boy was rewarded by having his arms and legs ripped free and tossed aside as trash.

Parker vividly recalls falling to his knees and vommiting. Through tear-blurred eyes he saw his gun had slid a few feet away, well beyond reach. Something in the back of his mind whispered that it was useless anyways. He looked up to find the demon regarding him calmly. Studying him. Parker somehow met the creatures eyes. Somehow, there he found a resolve; A courage. He rose to his feet again, and faced the demon proudly.

Only when the demon fell dead before him, did Parker notice the wounds.

As expected, Parker found nothing in his numb-minded search of the warehouse. Unwilling to leave empty handed, he did remove the demon's thick read hooded cloak and took it for his own. Odd fashion aside, it was thick and would undoubtedly keep him warm through the winter. It might not be food, or something with which to earn money... but it was something.

Upon donning the cloak, a voice whispered into his mind. It whispered a single word. A name. NISANTI.


The Hood Rising...

Over the next week, the Cloak would whisper more than that. It told of it's origins, having been crafted by an Elder Being of vast power called Dormammu. It spoke of what it was capable of... and those capabilities were what inspired Parker more than anything.

Under the tutelage of his cloak, Parker learned to manipulate mystical energies... and even the elements themselves! With a mere incantation and flex of eill he could turn invisible at will. An amazing feat, that when coupled with his cunning mind and gifts of stealth, allowed him to manipulate his way through the lower dregs of NYC's criminal underworld. Within weeks he was able to form his own gang, months later, he was a notorious Crime Lord called 'The Hood' by colleagues and law enforcement agencies alike.

For his part, Parker reveled in his newfound wealth and prestige. It was nearly a year before boredome began to settle in, and the Cloak began whispering still more lessons. It taught lore along with spell, fostering in his imaginations the glorious texts and artifacts of ancient ages.

Such things became a new obsession. No dollar or resource was spared as he began to obsessively hunt down and collect such mystical artifacts. This invariably lead to numerous conflicts with owners and foreign governments alike... but at the end of each day, his collection (and thus his power base) continued to expand. As one might expect, a quickly rising reputation as the worlds preeminent Arcane Thief drew the attention of the Sorcerer Supreme.


Trials and Offers...

It came to pass that oppertunities to lay hands upon magical artifacts came to conflict with the management of The Hood's syndicate. When forced to make such choices, more and more often he gave into his obsession. Such choices began to cost him the support of his minnions. Internal strife grew, and eventually, the Criminal Empire Parker had forged began to crumble around him.

As frustration mounted, Parker grew restless. When finally a coupe was raised, Parker opted to vanish and take his acquisition adventures abroad. He'd learned what he could from the various tomes he'd unearthed, and was more Adept than Novice by this point. Of the artifacts in his vault, most were overlarge to move or provided little use save sentimental value. So with naught but his mind, skill, and Nisanti Cloak, Parker moved through Europe as a man posessed.

Parker couldn't claim true surprise when most leads turned out to be dead ends. Competition for such secrets was far greater in the East, given a more open minded approach to supersition than the average American held.

Finally, Parker heard rumors of an ancient repository hidden away in Tibet, and subsequently he spent every last penny in his posession to secure transportation. 

The trek through the wilds to the hidden monastary was filled with peril of sorts to ensure only the worthy might find their way... and find his way Parker did.
  
The Ancient One was no dabble or novice, and detected the intruders presense immediately. Recognizing tell-tale signature of the Nisanti Cloak it was a simple effort for the Sorcerer Supreme to locate Parker and confine him within Crimson Bands of Cyttorak.

Seven weeks were spent in isolation, food and water delivered without fail as he slept. In spite of the silence, Parker exuded unnatural patience. This patience finally paid off with an audience, and Parker supplicated himself for training. Such was offered, but the price was high. Too high, as the Ancient One demanded that Parker cast off his beloved cloak for all time and condemn it to the Infinity Well.

Unwilling, Parker was allowed to leave... but was imparted with rather copious amounts of advice regarding his soul, and the responsibilities that accompany great power. It was advised, sermingly off-hand, that Parker consider the goods to which his dark arts might be put... even in pursuit of loftier selfish goals.

The honesty was... inspiring... Thoughts of his brothers death, a death created of ignorance and desperation plagued him. With his gifts, he could hunt such creatures. Ensure they wouldn't continue to prey upon man... He'd slain one demon adter all, and look at the Cloak he'd earned! Perhaps there were more such challenges and rewards to be had...

===================

DARK TUTOR 02W
Parkers magical talent has been carefully taught and shaped by the demonic entity trapped within the Nisanti Cloak. The cloak has fostered not only the firm belief that it is a necessary component of his magical aptitude, but that without it Parker would lose control of his magic and it would consume him (or worse, he'd be left a powerless and broken man). Worse still, The Nisanti Cloak has at time exerted great influence of Parker's mind... whispering to him in his sleep, and nudging him towards decisions that will benefit it's own aims (and that of it's dark master~ Dormmamu)... and most dangerously, fostering in him a near-obsession for all things arcane.

CRIMINAL RECORD 01W
Before his recent immersion into the life of an occult vigilante and arcane bounty hunter, Parker was an up-and-coming Crime Lord in NYC. His decision to turn his back on those endeavors does not mean that the law has forgotten his crimes...

PSYCHOLOGICAL [RECKLESS] 01W 
Parker is a man driven by impulses and passions. Despite being of exceptional cunning, he often reacts rather than stopping to think through actions or words.

PSYCHOLOGICAL [CtSUftUD] 01W
Ever since he was little, back when he knew nothing but the life of an older brother, Parker has fostered a sense of compassion for the weak and downtrodden. When he began his criminal rise, he recruited from the dredges of society and preyed upon the strongest and most corrupt targets. Now, this has become his inspiration for recent forrays into vigilantism.

  (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:

Born the near forbidden love child of a Jewish Businessman and an Egyptian woman, Zeke was greeted with the harsh realities of true minority life early on. No amount of money could ever wipe it clear, and his parents insisting on trying to cling to their disparate cultures despite migrating to America didn't help.

Things improved somewhat, after a fashion, when Zeke's parents died. Most of their financial legacy was donated to local charities and organizations... Which gave a posthumas image to the pair they never would have believed possible. Zeke, inheritor of a sizeable trust fund, went on to college. There, he wandered aimlessly, partying hard and taking random classes that he could coast through with minimal effort. A real live Van Wilder.

It wasn't until the end of his fifth year at school that things would change. Reading the morning paper, he noticed an article citing the sale of his fathers old WWII relics (previously donated to the Universities Museum) being sold at auction. For some reason, this infuriated Zeke. Motivated him in a way he'd never felt before. A considerable amount of thought and effort went into that first job. Comparative overkill, considering the lax security. Still, it was an adrenaline-rush of a start. Zeke was hooked...

His sixth, and final year of college he was like a new man. Dedicated, Driven, and successful. He'd found a calling, a hobby... Something meaningful to do with his life...

HOUND OF HELL
You are a servant of Hell, employed by Blackheart in the best interests of his "Father", Mephisto. Your purpose is to send evil souls to Hell so that Mephisto grows more powerful.

POSSESSION
You are in a battle for control of your own body with the demon who is the source of your powers. When you are in your natural state, control is relatively easy, but when you become the hunter, the demon's will is almost impossible to resist...

ROBIN

===================
  (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:

After a recent incident nearly resultant in his death, Bruce Wayne has ordered Richard out of Gotham. Having grown too comfortable, and arrogant, Bruce feels that Robin could benefit from some time away from both Gotham (the city he knows) and The Shadow of the Bat (Bruce's oversight/Protection)... This enforced relocation is Bruce's last-ditch hope of preventing his ward from being lost to the shadows... If it doesn't work, then perhaps it'll be time to remove him from the position?

HAUNTED PAST 02
Having witnessed the murder of his parents mid-show, young Richard Grayson's life was forever changed... His heart and soul scarred in a way that only his adoptive father (Bruce Wayne) can even begin to understand.

PSYCHOLOGICAL [HERO COMPLEX] 03
Ever since witnessing the deaths of his parents, Dick has silently mourned their loss... and fostered an unspoken need for justice. Luckily, Bruce took that and molded it into the spirit of a true hero... forging the first Robin (and in turn, humanizing himself some perhaps). Regardless, Dick has grown up a vigilante hero. Day in, and Day ou, his quest for justice is unending..

SHADOW OF THE BAT 02
Having been forged in The Shadows of The Bat, Grayson has always been eclipsed by the greatness of Batman... Only now, standing alone and independent for the first time, can either of them truly see just how far those shadows reach. Just how far into the soul do they burn? Can there be an escape, or once one has embraced that shadow... will it forever be a part of them?

ROGUES GALLERY 03
As of right now, Dick's gallery of foes is anchored firmly in Gotham. It's only a matter of time before the more observant deduce that the Robin they know and hate has not only flown the coupe... but is alone (beyond the immediate reach of The Bat), and decidedly vulnerable. How long until they come for him? How long until local villains look to make a statement, or exploit the situation in their own dealings? Never mind the new enemies he'll be making as a Titan while still wearing the visage as Gotham's protector's partner.

  (BRIEF)BIO/HISTORY:

Hand-selected at an early age from an orphanage, young Arkady was set early upon the path of KGB indoctrination. The Agency put much faith, time, money, and effort into developing this agent... Their intentions to subject him to a stolen Super Soldier Serum were cut short when medical tests revealed latent mutagenic potential. Unwilling to risk it activating during the procedure, Arkady was pulled not only from the program... but from the KGB entirely. 

Forced underground, an ex-Spy on the run, Arkady was all but forced into Contract Work. A Mercenary for hire, doing what he had to in order to survive the Cold War.

PSYCHOLOGICAL [SURVIVALIST] 01
Hand-Selected from an orphanage at the age of ten, Arkady was to be the KGB's finest asset... One they would push forward for the Super Soldier Program; He would be the savior of Mother Russia and an end to the Cold War! To that end, Arkady was indoctinated in the coined Darwinistic dogma of Survival of the Fittest. Literally groomed to be a predator in a world of sheep, there's little empathy or emotional depth to him beyond his driving motivation to not only survive, but to do so at cost to the weak... Is it any wonder to whose attention he arose in wake of his disavowment?

EX-KGB OPERATIVE 02
As an Ex-Operative for the infamous KGB, Arkady has more than his fair share of dark secrets and haunted past in the metaphorical closet. No one, not even the KGB has any idea what sort of 'State Secrets' he might have walked away with when he was disavowed... Never mind the enemies he retained, or incurred world-wide without even trying.

INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVE FOR THE HOUSE OF M 01 In the past few years, Arkady has finally secured 'steady' employment, working as an Intelligence and Counter-Espionage Asset for Magneto... A job that comes with risks all it's own.[/quote]

Arkady doesn't know it yet, but he's currently on the radar of En Saba Nur... Who sees in Arkady a potential candidate for the Horseman of Death![/quote]

Mutant 03
Yep, he's a mutant!

Uncertain Confirmed Heritage 02
Orphan. The illegitimate son of Lorna Dane and Alex Summers, however this is not known... as such his mutagenic manifestation leads many to suspect he is a scion of Magneto.

Unknown Chronic Condition 02
Like his father, Lodestone has begun to absorb ambient radiation (of the Electromagnetic variety, as opposed to Cosmic) which will eventually kill him if left un-discovered/un-checked. Increasing use of his power has thus far stymied any obvious side effects (minus the occasional migrain and attached emotional anger issues)... however should he begin to absorb more than his body can store/channel said side effects may drastically increase. For the moment, only the release of
distinctively dangerous EMP has been discovered when Dane
uses his powers, a factor mitigated by a full body suit designed
to assist Dane in controling his abilities to a finer degree.

Psychological Condition - Reckless 01
Again, much like his father, Lodestone has a bit of a reckless streak and Devil-May-Care attitude.

Psychological Condition - Survivors Guilt 02
With his newfound abilities, Lodestone inadvertantly contributed to the death of his 'Parents'. He hadn't known what he could do, let alone that he was anything more than normal... and yet, here he is. Alive. They're not.





===============
BACKGROUND
===============


======================
======================
======================
======================
======================


ORIGINS => ISSUE 01

The paperwork for Dane's adoption was processed months before his birth, and from the instant the infant was welcomed into his new home he was a Williams. No ties, hints, or clues were given to the identity of his true parents. Dane was never lied to or fooled; His adoptive parents were always loving, open, and honest with him. They never knew the identity of his birth parents, nor cared to learn of it. They had a son, and that was all that was important. Dane's adoptive parents were pretty well off, so he's lead a fairly privelaged life to date. He was popular at school, and had what appeared to be a perfect life.

A pefect life, until he was sixteen that is. It was during a typical pre-license driving session with his parents that his mutation first manifested. In panic over a car running a red light and nearly side-swiping him, Dane magnetokinetically lifted his own car into the air. In a panic, he lost control and it hurtled towards a parked tractor trailer. The cars electronics were rendered inert from the electromagnetic disruptions caused by the use of Dane's powers... and when his car collided with the much larger 18 wheeler, no airbags deployed as a result.

Dane and his mother were rushed to the hospital, his father was declared dead on scene.

Hours later, Dane was wheeled in to visit his mother who was still in critical condition. The two spoke for less than an hour before she died. Her last words were loving, and contained no blame or malice.

Three days later, an alumni of the Xavier Institute arrived and approached young Dane... offering him a position at the school.

Faced with an Orphanage, the legal mess of declaring himself an emancipated minor, or some other unimaginable options, Dane accepted the offer and travled to the Institute. There he hoped to learn more about his Mutant Power, and maybe about himself. After all, if he were a mutant~ odds were his Birth Parents had been as well.

At the institute, Dane has blended in for the most part. More so with the less-popular crowd that is more accepting of him in spite of his Magnetokinetic potential... though he's caught the eye of more than one daring or rebelious girl from the more socially elite.

His friends have nicknamed him Lodestone. One of his professors ridiculed him for not living up to the leadership potential his namesake indicated (a comment some took to mean Magneto, others the mineral's actual historical meaning, one or two more mutant-history-knowledgeable might even suspect something else entirely based on the name Dane).

More than a few of the kids, who grew up with the stories of the infamous Magneto, fear and/or openly-dislike Dane as they assume he must be a relation of some sort. That he was an orphan, and completely off the grid only fuels such speculation.

Until proven otherwise, Dane can but live in the possibility of such a shadow. He realizes that his fate is his own, and yet cannot dismiss the similarities in personality between himself and the once-terrorist/anti-hero/villain. He's even had dreams of holding the infamous helmet in his hands... though these are dreams he's kept under wraps.

Charismatic, powerful, and headstrong.

Perhaps if he green hair, some might draw correlation to his actual lineage... but few remain who would recognize an amalgam of the pair who vanished so long ago (let alone suspect they might have had a child, much less put him up for adoption). Those few who knew Alex or Lorna would maybe feel a small nagging feeling of familiarity... but be unable to put a finger upon it.

Isn't Dane an orphan?

Lest we not forget his uncanny resemblance to a certain relative.

And he's a long lost relative, admittedly not to any of the other protagonists.

I can't believe there's not some trope about the uber-mastery, or even mastery of magnetism specifically.

<Edit> Selective Magnetism

Happily Adopted (despite subsequent death)... He knew he was adopted his entire life, and was more than happy/content with his loving 'adopted' patents.
Happily Adopted

Oooo. A mutant raised in ignorance of his mutagenic-heritage/potential by non-mutants? Sweet.

Born into the nightmare ravaged genetic legacy of his father, Thomas the Younger was well on his way to becoming the current generations Krakoa. The infant's fragile psyche would have been immdiately overwritten had it not been for the intervention of his Godfather (Cain Marko)... Or more precisely, Cain's benefactor: Cyttorak.

Infected with Crimson Energies (one genetic virus fighting the other), Thomas the Younger's mutation stabilized... leaving the infant free to grow and mature as nature might otherwise have intended. And so he did. Seventeen years, home schooled by the finest tutors money could buy in Castle Cassidy, have thus far provided Thomas the Younger (as his family calls him) with everything a young mutant could ask for. Unlike his quasi-sane (at the best of times) father, Thomas the Younger lacks that spark of bitterness. He holds no grudges, nor craves that which nature itself cannot provide him. His fathers attempts to teach him the 'Family Trade' have thus far fallen upon uncaring ears, and in fact only served to steer him towards self-enrolling at the Xavier Institute (a decision Old Black Tom did not take well to at all).

Thomas has an avid interest in Botany, colored by his extracurricular interests in Pharmacology and recreational drugs (he's been growing his own weed for two years now). While he was attentive to his fathers lectures on Poisons and Toxins, they never caught his interest in the manner Black Tom hoped they would. Thomas the Younger just doesn't have that... edge of darkness that drives his father. He'd much rather get high, and drift along through life with no worries. More than one fight errupted in the home over this... luckily his Godfather is more than sufficiently adept at calming Old Black Tom.

So, he declared a Major and applied at Xaviers.  It's about as close to a goal as he's got in life... his choice to enroll at Xaviers was a mix of rebellion and curiosity, given his hereditary history with the institution.

CHALLENGES 10W
Inhuman Appearance 03W Thomas looks like a humanoid comprised of plan materials, combined with traceries of a crystalized red vein-like network that pulsates with an inner light when he uses his Chlorokinesis
Mutant 03W Born into the Legacy, He gets it honest!
Recreational Drug User 02W Thomas likes to get High, and has a reputation accordingly as a Stoner
Over-Protective Godfather 02W Cain Marko takes it upon himself to keep tabs upon his Godson, even if it means crossing what remains of his lifelong best friend in doing do. Cain is like a favorite uncle to Thomas despite the over-protective vibe
Elemental Sensativity [Fire] 02W Crimson Infection aside, Thomas is comprised near entirely of organic material (plant-based)... as such, he's more sensative to heat than more resiliently-skinned beings! Fire based attacks bypasses the No x2 advantage.
