- '''Richard "Goose" Briggs-Dalton IV '''
 
- The owner and chairman of Owl Media Consolidated. Their slogan is ''Owl Media Keeps an Eye on the Globe For You''! Which is definitely not sinister. Somehow gets a lot of scoops about pinnacle... Bucky's dad.
 
===Teens===
 
- '''Connor Cordell, aka Heartstring'''
 
- A telempath with a crush on the original Alvin. His longing to see Alvin A. again brought Alvin B. into the world. Unfortunately, the Konnor of Alvin B.'s world was a real jerk.
 
 
 
- '''Richard "Bucky" Briggs-Dalton V aka Scoop
 
- A freshman at Pinnacle who edits the school newspaper, the Pinnacle Peek. He's got the divinatory power to know just where to be when the big story breaks, and his "investigative journalism" has embarrassed numerous people in school, faculty and students alike.
 
 
 
- '''Lourdes Nakano Giminez, aka Lickety-Split'''
 
- A speedster enrolled in a special associate student program at Pinnacle, so that she can participate in hero work courses. She has Down's Syndrome, and is unfairly ostracized because of that.
 
 
 
- '''Sarah Grimwell aka Trouble Maker'''
 
- a punk rocker, activist, and student at Pinnacle. Sarah has the rather frightening power to pluck people's fears and make them (briefly) real. She's kind and good-natured, but has no patience for half-measures and commitment to the status quo, and lets people know it.
 
 
 
- '''Francisco Hernandez aka Frankie'''
 
- Resident bad-boy crush. Emphasis on the crush - he's quite strong. He's heard all the "Doctor's Monster" jokes before, so even if he's got green skin and neck bolts, you probably wanna steer clear of that topic.
 
 
 
- '''Miguel aka Hellfire'''
 
- Half-demon and unable to pass for human. Miguel was raised in a church orphanage knowing he could never have a normal life. Gaining powers which are pretty much purely destructive didn't help any. The black costume and the edgy name are a deliberately-cultivated image of playing into the scary monster; under the mask he's just a kid who's had a rough life, with some pretty severe anger and self-esteem issues.
 
 
 
- '''Cass aka Tyde'''
 
- Hydrokinetic. Hangs out with Trouble Maker. Generally chill and reserved, but recently became the centre of a media storm after rescuing a capsized immigrant boat. Suddenly dealing with a lot of attention and expectations to use their newfound fame to speak out. Academy staff are pushing them as an exemplar of the school's values and rumour says that one of the big teams are looking to recruit them upon graduation.
 
 
 
- '''Fivel Passer aka Fig'''
 
- Fivel is the kind of kid you meet on orientation and then can never quite seem to shake. Not that he's unpleasant or annoying, he's just very gung ho about everything, in a way that is not particularly cool but is earnest. He is also a Witch, but no one is even really sure what that means.
 
 
 
- '''Mita Kanawas aka Snowblind'''
 
- Mita is a Cree superhero with cryokinetic powers, who's fighting her way out of the shadow of Ice Queen, a white Canadian superhero who's been appropriating First Nations trappings. Other than that, she's a volunteer and activist. Gets along great with Sarah/Trouble Maker.
 
 
 
- '''Stefan Iliescu aka The Numismatist'''
 
- Formerly the sidekick to Penny Auntie, Central City's most feared costumed criminal mastermind specializing in heists of less than $1000, Stefan broke from his villainous inheritance to use his talents for good. He has the makings of a master detective with a knack for gadgets, but he's haunted by the guilt of his elaborate coin-themed misdemeanors (none of them were technically felonies.)
 
 
 
- '''Faiza Fadil aka Phalanx'''
 
- Turned into a cyborg made mostly out of nanomachines by her parents, Faiza now fights crime with her sharp wit and shapeshifting ability. Faiza is a trans woman.
 
 
 
- '''Rebecca Zeitlyn'''
 
- Lucas's (Impedor) cousin, on his mom's side. Punk/counterculture stylings. She has a slight acoustic/vibration power, but not enough to really qualify for Pinnacle, and it's not like she'd really want to anyway. Plays the drums and is tapped into the non-hero scene around town.

It's small, it's got a homey atmosphere, it has great Pork Adobo and Fried Rice Omelets -- and it serves more parahumans meals every month than any institution not run by AEGIS. Rose Valencia is the owner, and her dutiful daughter Roseamie is usually to be found in the kitchen or bussing tables when she's not at school.
