Ms. Elsewhere

Description: Teleporting Rescue Ranger

Elsewhere.png

Real name: Amy 'Elsa' Smith

Age: 20 something

Handle: ShiftyCat@Unknown

Elsa is Hispanic from her mother's side and Polish from her father's side

Main power: Elsa can teleport short distances rabidly

Secondary powers: Danger Sense, Wealthy Patron, Animal Abilities: cat

Personality: Elsa is an avid cat lover, has a pet tiger. She's not going to break anyone's fingers for dealing marijuana to cancer patients, and the party crowd and tripping ravers are not her problem (Unless they misbehave, or go crazy), but the kind of dealer who sells any old crap to any sucker (Particularly kids) and doesn't care what happens after deal's done

But what comes to assorted addicts of all varieties who turn to violence while on or trying to fund their habits, drugged up and/or drink drivers or say, suicidal venture capitalist chemists with no concept of lab safety and a high pressure explosion waiting to happen in a suburban meth factory? Zero Tolerance. Same for people stealing stuff out of hospital drug lockers, or attacking emergency crews. Cruelty to animals sets her temper off without much pause for thought before action. And needless to say, anyone she hears of hurting a cat will get a personal visit...

Superhero outfit: Elsa usually wears a blond wig or a cat-eared motorcycle helmet, clawed gloves

Notes on appearance: has cat-like eyes

Job Before Storm: Elsa was a paramedic Job After Storm: Works as a tender in the cat sanctuary her patron owns, and runs the Protectors Initiative

Family: Father presumed deceased, a Security Truck Driver, last seen heading off shift for a beer on the way home.

Related NPCs: The scientists couple the Odds, henry and Agata Odd, the wealthy patron ex-pageant winner Mrs. Henrietta Swann in which Elsa's grandfather is in love with

Firehand

Description: Superfast Firefist

Firehand.png

Real name: Alan Copperton

Age: 20

Handle: FreeFire@Unknown

Main power:Can manifest fire from his feet and hands, can control what it burns and what not, super-speed


Secondary powers: Fast reflexes, heat absorption

Personality: Earnest, hardworking, generous when he thinks he can afford it. "Afford it" is more about the results than about his own resources; if he thinks you're really starving he'll go hungry to give you the price of a meal. Given the harsher conditions since the Storm, he's less trusting than he once was; you may have to convince him. He's protective of children, remembering the siblings he lost in the fire. He's an avid reader, fiction and non-fiction alike.

Superhero outfit: Biker gear, helmet with breathing apparatus

Hydra

Hydra.png

Description: Shape-Sifting Witty Tank

Real name: Samantha Jones

Age: 28

Handle: ManyFaces@Unknown

Known aliases; The Lady With Many Names, Gertrud von Bismark, The Unnamed Avenger, the Prankster

Best quote: "And technically I did not steal this, it was handed to me"

Main power: Hydra can take any human form, as long as she has a DNA sample of the person at hand. She can also get the muscle memory and basic knowledge of familiar people and places to the person, but no actual memories of the person.

Secondary powers: Rapid healing, strength, armored skin

Personality: Sam is witty, tech-savvy, handy woman, who relies on her duct tape, zip-ties and her craftiness. She prefers not to go to combat, but can take hefty amount of beating if things get heated. She is kind-hearted and visits a nursing home regularly disguised as the patient's dead family members, to jolt their memory for a short time from the realm of dementia

Assumed character: Sam's default shape is a red head femme-fatale version of her pre-storm self (Think Black Widow) and she does not shy from showing some skin to get close enough to get a DNA sample.

Job Before Storm: Sam worked as a specialist technician at Verizon with communication arrays, networks etc. Job After Storm: Sam works currently at an internet cafe-bar named the Atlas, as a bouncer, and has assumed a slightly more muscular shape for that to be believable.

Family: Samantha has living religious parents, a pregnant baby sister and a brother, who is outcast

Related NPCs: Sam did some nite-time prank-avenging before joining the Protectors, so there might be some people looking for the Unnamed

Notes on appearance: 5 ft 6 in, 120 lbs, blonde hair, green eyes

Job Before Storm: In college Job After Storm: Abby was recruited right out of college by the D.I.A. She was initially hesitant to work for the government, feeling they cannot always be trusted. The offer they made her was too good to turn down. Between a good starting salary, being able to work close to home, and the added incentive that after 5 years of employment they would pay for her doctorate degree, she found the offer irresistible.

Family: Aunt Michele Harrison, the Borough President of Manhattan

Related NPCs: Director Nisha Cavarai

Ice Keeper

Description:

Real name: Snow Bunny

Age: 24

Superhero name: Ice Keeper

Main power: Snow Bunny is an animate advertisement for a ski lodge, and can cause freezing drifts of snow to appear around her wherever she goes.


Secondary powers: As befitting her origin, Snow Bunny is incredibly agile and has no actual internal organs, making being cut, pierced, or shot much less concerning to her than most people. She is also capable of going back into the artwork in drawn or painted advertisements to return to the surreal land of her origins and travel to other nearby advertisements, though the real nature of this “world” is in doubt.


Personality: Snow Bunny is a fundamentally cheerful and welcoming person, but her recent experiences with being enslaved by The Hallow Mark and fear of being recaptured leads her to caution and paranoia in conflict with her natural tendencies. It is for this reason that she has created her masculine “superhero” persona of the Ice Keeper while moving about the human world. She’s searching for someone to help her protect herself against the Hallow Mark, but is gunshy after early experiences with the gangs and police in the city.

Superhero outfit: A New York Rangers hockey jersey with a full set of goalie’s gear, plus a windbreaker she always keeps up and tucked under her vintage-style goalie’s mask to hide her hair. She wears heavy snow boots and pants to complete the image. When not disguised or moving through the advertising world, she wears a stereotypical pink "snow bunny" snowsuit and earmuffs. She was forced to abandon her skies long ago.

Notes on appearance: Airbrushed swedish bikini model with permanently flushed cheeks and curly blond hair in a "vintage" cut.

Job Before Storm: Snow Bunny has no real memories from before she was drawn out of an advertisement for Stowe, Vermont, only a vague sense of purpose encompassing hospitality and fun. Job After Storm: Snow Bunny has no legal existence in the real world and since gaining freedom and sentience, has not been able to integrate well enough into human society to get an actual job. She survives by eating inside the penny-savers from local supermarkets, and lives in the advertisements of a copy of “Better Homes and Gardens” she carefully hides away every night.

Family: Snow Bunny was (the lead) part of a series of advertisements, some of which also included her “mother”, “father”, “younger twin brother and sister” and “boyfriend”. Snow Bunny has no actual _memories_ of them as individuals, but has a persistent sense of missing something in her life and instant feeling of familiarity on those occasions the Hallow Mark uses his animations of that advertisement against her.
