*Vincent Kilroy was born frail and disabled, but he gained advanced degrees in cybernetics and criminology and became a self-made man. He chose a career in law enforcement over personal gain and rose through the ranks as Dynaton's top cyborg. After years of gradually paring away biological parts and adding mechanical ones, Vince has undergone extensive cyborg augmentation. His neurological augments mean that he has a massive crime database inside his head, and has effectively read the file on everyone, if they're known to law enforcement. Now codenamed Detective Dynamo, Vince has traveled the world hunting down evasive master criminals. He has recently become inappropriately interested in his quarries and the independent cape community.

*Vincent Street was born frail and disabled, but he gained advanced degrees in cybernetics and criminology and became a self-made man. He chose a career in law enforcement over personal gain and rose through the ranks as The Dynaton Initiative's top cyborg. After years of gradually removing biological parts and adding mechanical ones, Vince has undergone almost total cyborg restructuring. His neurological augments mean that he has a massive crime database inside his head, and has effectively read the file on everyone, if they're known to law enforcement. Now codenamed Detective Dynamo, Vince has traveled the world hunting down evasive master criminals. He has recently become inappropriately interested in his quarries and the independent cape community.

*As Glitterstar, Esther Nguyen is a minor celebrity by the standards of the Few, a '''musician and performer of no small talent''', gifted with a shining, ''eerie beauty'' but hardly capable of the spectacles or grand innovations of other Archons. This is a '''carefully-crafted lie'''. Impossible Girl’s true Legacy is '''dark and disturbing''', an '''n-Dimensional Mutation''' that twists her body at ''all the wrong angles'' and allows her to reshape space-time itself. Her mind can smear into a '''Cognitive Superposition''', glimpsing the thoughts of others and hijacking animalistic brains. As a good citizen of Eiren Bay, ''she must act, because she can'', but she takes advantage of Glitterstar’s C-list status to maintain privacy for her family (and her mother’s past). Surely such a bright, open, starlet desperate for attention couldn’t be <u>that spooky girl</u>? Because of her masquerade and suspicious powers, however, Impossible Girl needs to <u>earn some respect</u> or face insurmountable suspicion.
+
*Most people in her college '''technical''' courses just know Esther Nguyen as <u>That Spooky Girl</u> – not Impossible Girl.  But she carries a legacy of worrisomely unknown origin, which caused her cells to undergo an '''n-Dimensional Mutation''', twisting her across non-spatial dimensions at ''all the wrong angles''.  She can reach across unnatural distances, disappear from visible dimensions, and twist space-time into her reference frame. This dimensional smearing allows her mind to exist in a '''Cognitive Superposition''', sharing thoughts with others and hijacking primitive brains. Since her initial, traumatic manifestation of powers, she has managed to keep '''covert''' and wrap herself in a mask of ''eerie beauty''.  Even with practice, she rarely manages to avoid instilling a feeling of '''menace''' in others.  Despite her desire to hide, as a good citizen of Eiren she ''must'' act, ''because she can''; and perhaps, despite her unsettling and suspicious legacy, she can <u>earn some respect</u>.

*Uriah Stone's '''natural psychic power''' allowed him to be nothing more than a punk '''telepathic manipulator''' of tourists' minds. He was picked up because of his believed '''Mutant''' status by a shadowy organization who put him (and a number of other "promising youths") through something called "'''Project Illumination'''." A part of his testing was to read the mind of a supposed enemy of the state. The mind scan went awry, the target's memories and aspects of his personality are now inside him, and he wonders '''who is really in charge'''. He is now being used as an agent of the same organization if only to find out what exactly happened to him while at the same time hoping the rest of the supers community '''can accept him for what he is'''.

*Obsidian, real name Diana Montes, is a mutant with '''powers of darkness, creating and teleporting among shadows.''' She spent most of her life as a highly-skilled burglar, and following her motto of ''"You'll never catch me!"'' After she cut herself on a stolen sacrificial knife, she entered Mictlan, where _Itzpaplotl declared that Diana was now, despite her questionable past, her ''involuntary champion.''_
+
*Write here.

Diana became a security consultant and a superhero, using the powers given to her as '''Itzpaplotl's Champion (Agility, razor wings, tiny size and combat skill)''' as well as her own abilities. She still attempts to have fun with the process, though, taunting foes, fighting them with her wits, a _mocking shadow,_ but her frivolity could go too far. And there's still the problem of her criminal history-- she committed many crimes, knew many criminals, and they will remember her. Is it true that she _can't escape the past?_

Samantha Brite is a woman who's body, after an accident where she was the TRAGIC LONE SURVIVOR, harnesses a unique energy, an energy that allows her to create solid light, a new category of Ultraviolet light. She also uses this energy to stretch her body (when she turns into light mode) as well as shape her body into other forms.
 
−
 
−
Driven by guilt, due to her mother's death in the lab accident, Samantha strives to make sure that her own life would mean something. She took responsibility of the new energy source, making sure that it would be used properly, becoming the Billionaire CEO of Brite Industries as a result. Many Technists claims that she is a goody two shoe Naive Optimist, based on the fact that she could've gotten even more money if she allowed them access to research the energy source. She refuses, however, based on the fear that it could be misused.

But 'why' was she alive. That has been troubling her...
