==Kid Id, the Inter-Dimensional Hero==

'''Information'''
*'''Real Name:''' Emmett Pierce
*'''AKA:''' The Inter-Dimensional Kid
*'''Age:''' 14
*'''Birthright:''' Emmet’s Viraxian heritage grants him superhuman powers that he discovered at the age of 12. (+2 Cosmic Power)
'''Qualities'''

''“Hero Apprenticeship”'' The Vindicators wouldn't take him because he was so young, so Emmett has taken to studying everything he can about superheroes, trying to learn their powers and strategies so he can help them some day. He also has dossiers on all the local villains, along with high profile regional, national and world wide villains that could conceivably target North Fairhaven. This gives him a lot of academic knowledge about super-heroing... but no actual experience.

''“Gotta Prove Myself!”'' Knowing who is grandfather is… and the breadth of his powers… Kid Id believes he’s destined for greatness. He has an overwhelming desire to prove himself, which means he tends to put himself in situations that he may not be ready to handle.

''“Enemies and Expectations”'' The Celestine was a mighty hero with a versatile power-set Kid Id has yet to replicate… despite countless hours of trying. The Champion of Virax also defeated many villains and organizations… some of which wouldn’t hesitate at taking revenge against Celestine’s grand-kid.

'''Abilities'''
*Prowess 4
*Coordination 5
*Strength 2
*Intellect 6
*Awareness 6
*Willpower 5
*Stamina 7
*Determination 2
'''Powers'''
*Cosmic Power 6 (Aura, Force Field)
*Detection 5 (Dimensional disturbances)
*Dimensional Travel 8
'''Specialties'''
*Martial Arts
'''Description'''

The Inter-dimensional Kid’s original costume was a mess of his older sisters’ clothes and cut up sheets. Now that he's rebranded himself as Kid Id, his costume pays homage to the Cometeers colors and his grandfather’s iconic armor with a green body suit coupled with a gold helmet, gauntlets and boots that are mostly just decorative.

(Since the Cometeer Park Rangers wear green berets I was just guessing that the Cometeers colors included green)

'''Backstory'''

Emmett is the grandson of one the famed Cometeers… Celestine, Champion of Virax. Emmett's mother Shannon, who was born shortly before the Cometeers sacrificed themselves in 1979, didn’t know of her alien heritage and never developed any powers. Emmett’s abilities revealed themselves two years ago during an attempted invasion from Universe 7012. He dubbed himself the Inter-Dimensional Kid as he helped the Vindicators locate and... tried not to get in the way as they defeated the threat. The Vindicators were able to tell Emmett and his mom about their relationship to Celestine at that point… and the teen is still coming to terms with being a quarter Viraxian.
His age prevented him from actively being a hero, but now that he’s a freshman in Grace Hopper High School he intends to make a name for himself. Adopting the new moniker of Kid Id, he’s eager to be a hero and live up to his grandfather’s legacy.

==Augment, the Scientific Support Hero==

'''Information'''
*'''Real Name:''' Edison Franklin Gray 
*'''AKA:''' Ed, Eddie
*'''Age:''' 33
*'''Gimmick:''' Edison’s powers all come from devices of some kind. (+2 Intellect)
*'''TC:''' 1

'''Qualities'''

''“Renaissance Scientist”'' He’s not the foremost scientist in any field, but he has multiple master’s degrees and the breadth of his knowledge often leads to innovation.

''“Alien Intellect”'' His intelligence rose to superhuman levels after he tried to mimic a captured Den’ashian scientist, though he is prone to headaches now and he worries at the source…

''“Stronger Together”'' Though he doesn’t have the skill to be a leader or powers that he considers impressive, Augment provides critical support the team on mission but feels he's at a loss on solo missions. He often finds himself being the team ‘heart’ and tries to diffuse issues between his teammates.

'''Abilities'''
*Prowess 5
*Coordination 6
*Strength 2 (5)
*Intellect 8
*Awareness 6
*Willpower 3
*Stamina 5 (8)

**-UMO Rounds (Universal Mental Override) Mind Control 4 (Reduced to Extended Range)
*META (Mobility Enhanced Tactical Armor)
**-Extra arms 5 (Strength, Swinging)

'''Specialties'''
*Medicine
*Science
*Technology
'''Description'''

Augment’s META suit consists of a white body suit with blue metal armor that serves as a protection and also a basic exoskeleton that help him support the weight the arms. The main feature is a pair of over-sized mechanical arms sprouting from his back above and behind his shoulders. These arms grant him enhanced strength, and he can shoot off the hands and use them as grappling hooks to pull and swing himself around the battlefield.
The suit’s helmet serves as a half mask, extending down to cover his ears and jaw while a visor conceals his eyes. The CSAR looks like a bulky rifle… which is exactly what it is… and is the delivery method of the other powers he’s developed.

'''Backstory'''

Edison Gray as always been smart… he developed a formula that would let him mimic the traits of animals when he earned his first master’s degree. Though biological in nature... the Vertebrate Enhanced Genetic Augmentation Serum, or VEGAS, somehow touched upon the latent psychic abilities all people possess. This granted Edison amazing abilities such as inhuman strength, or even flight, without altering his body in any way. This was his sole power when he first became Augment.
When the Vindicators discovered a secret lab operated by nefarious psychic aliens known as the Den’ash, he attempted to adapt VEGAS to mimic their alien DNA. It worked… and it didn’t. Edison’s intellect expanded greatly, and for a short time he was able to glimpse the Den’ash psychic network and see what they were planning. The change also proved do to be permanent… and his altered DNA meant VEGAS would no longer work on him.
Edison withdrew from active hero-ing for a while, though continued to support the team behind the scenes as a scientist. He was busy developing several new technologies, and reworking VEGAS to work on other people. It’s time for Augment to emerge once again to support his comrades on the front lines.

==Dhampir, the Shadowborn Hero==


'''Information'''
*'''Name:''' James Delaney
*'''AKA:''' N/A
*'''Age:''' 23
*'''Transformed:''' James was a normal human and gained his powers as the sacrifice in an experimental occult ritual gone wrong. (+2 Energy Control)

'''Qualities'''

''“I HATE Vampires”'' This dislike started with the ‘goth/vampire’ scene in North Fairhaven as he grew up and flared into full on loathing when the media labeled him Dhampir. He goes after Vampires and demons whenever he can, and certainly does seem to know a lot about them…

''“Power for the Poor”'' In costume Dhampir focuses on the poor neighborhoods. As James, he volunteers at youth community centers to help kids get opportunities their economic background doesn’t provide. He also has a strong dislike for the rich… especially when he thinks they are abusing that wealth.

''“The Element of Surprise”'' Dhampir likes stealth missions where he never has to reveal himself. When on the battlefield he takes full advantage of his invisibility to surprise the enemy and defeat them with overwhelming force and tries to avoid situations where he can’t hide at all costs.

'''Abilities'''
*Prowess 4

'''Specialties'''
*Stealth (Expert)
*Sleight of Hand

'''Description'''

Wanting to avoid the black and pale color pallet ‘expected’ of a vampire themed hero, but needing a dark costume to help him sneak around, Dhampir’s costume is carbon fiber gray, though strategically placed lines of or orange serve to highlight look and break up his outline. The featureless mask has orange eyes to give him a vaguely menacing look.

'''Backstory'''

Born to an already poor family in that went completely broke when shipyard started shutting down in the 90’s, James’ father turned to crime and spent most of his time either in jail or with his shady friends. James himself became a petty criminal and was in and out of juvie as a teen… even doing a few short stints in prison as a young adult.
Because he was the sort of person nobody would miss, a shadowy coven kidnapped him and used him for their ritual experiments. His memories are distorted and full of pain and horrific images, but the last ritual… what he thinks was supposed to be a full-on possession… failed. With the terrible powers it granted him he was able to defeat a few of his captors and make his escape.
James kept his powers secret and used his invisibility to become a better criminal. It wasn’t until trio of demons started laying waste to the Garden District that he came out of the shadows and reluctantly accepted the role of a hero.

(This might be the same cult or a similar ritual to how Homunculus was made)

=Archer=
== Investigator Tr’Amokt-Marki - Detective T ==

[[File:Detective_T.jpg]]

'''Origin:'''

Unearthly

'''Qualities:'''

1. Analytical thinker – Her default approach to new situations is careful observation, logical analysis and, if applicable, psychological profiling. Her high Prowess is mostly a reflection of her ability to analyze her opponent’s fighting style. She will do her best to eliminate ordinary, logical solutions before going on to the extraordinary.

2. An officer of the law – She is a law enforcement officer, and will uphold the laws, procedures, honor and reputation of the Sapient Concordance.

3. Tr’Amokt is from an alien civilization that has never heard of Earth. She picked up the basics of local culture fairly quickly, but continues to have questions about the details, and her biochemistry is close but not identical to humans, so some…unusual reactions may occur. She does understand her appearance may cause phobic responses, and would like to apologize.

'''Description:'''

A 5’10 bipedal alien insect covered in orange chitin. Her head is roughly oval, with backward-swept antenna, solid black eyes and unobtrusive mandibles. She has small, thin, retractable spines in her arms she can stroke to make musical tones.

'''Backstory:'''


The T’Jakra are an insectoid species with an unusually tough carapace and have sent many soldiers to the military of the Sapient Concordance, but young Tr’Amokt felt drawn to a different path to service. Solving the puzzle of criminal actions and criminal minds appealed to her, and she excelled in the Enforcer Directorate Academy, her analytical and observant nature serving her in both her academic and hand-to-hand classes. She was given a rare appointment to the rank of Investigator straight out of the Academy and had a successful career until the pursuit of a criminal engaged in the theft and use of banned technology sent her though a spacewarp to an unknown world in unknown space with nothing but her Enforcer-grade cyber-interface implant. Since then she has been assisting local law enforcement in accordance with the terms of the Sentient Concordance while she tries to track down the criminal she pursued here and find her way home.

== Thomas Cheng – Seventh Son – ==

[[File:Seventh_Son.jpg]]

'''Origin:'''

Birthright

'''Qualities:'''

1. I’ve been trained for this: John has been training his entire life to become an expert on spirits and the occult. His schooling and experience in other areas may be lacking.

2. Guardian of the living world: Whether its some kind of destiny or just because he has the power to do it, John serves as a guardian of the living from the dangers of the Beyond.

3. A foot in both worlds: John literally and figuratively straddles the line between the material and spirit worlds. The supernatural is bred into his blood and bones, and he’s been seeing ghosts since he opened his eyes.

'''Description:'''

5’10”, dark black hair, light grey eyes, multiracial features

Costume: White jumpsuit and mask, black vest and belt.


'''Backstory:'''

The signs were there when Thomas Cheng was born. Descended from a long line of exorcists, mediums, ghost-breakers, shamans, houngans, and miscellaneous mystics, neither of his globetrotting supernatural adventurer parents were terribly surprised to find his invisible friends, including his namesake great-grandfather, were telling him true things and moving things around. They were unsure what part of his ancestry was the source of his power to turn to ectoplasm and afflict the living with the chill touch of death, but that just made them all the more determined to school him in the ways of the occult, in preparation for what they realized was his inevitable role as the guardian of the living from the threats of the World Beyond.

== Grant Power – Captain Power ==

[[File:Captain_Power.jpg]]

'''Origin:'''

Trained

'''Qualities:'''

1. I '''Am''' Captain Power!: Grant may have cobbled his "Captain Power" character out of clichés, but he's fully committed to it, whether it involves posing and speeches or risking his life to protect innocents. He’s a method actor, but also ultimately a good person.

2. Mysterious Mentor: Some part of Grant knows he should probably have asked more questions about who his mentor is, what his motivations are and how he seems to have a skill or a bit of relevant experience for any situation. Still, as long as the com channel in his cowl stays open and the old man keeps talking he can come across like a genius.

3. I can resist anything but temptation: To be honest, fighting guys who can crush cars with their bare hands and shoot lightning from their eyeballs is safer for Grant than leaving him in a Hollywood club unsupervised. But whatever trouble he does get into, he'll look damn good doing it.

'''Description:'''

5’11”(6’ on his resume), cut muscles, blue eyes, perfect blonde hair, tanned skin, winning smile, heroic chin.

'''Backstory'''

Grant Power’s never stellar Hollywood career was heading downward. He was a handsome enough hunk of beef with a natural knack for fight scenes and a better actor than the action movies he was in needed, but his offscreen antics were getting a bit much for his directors and producers to deal with.
