Super Identity: “Our ‘super identity’ is the identity we use to communicate with other organic lifeforms, such as yourself. That would be Drake Dyson. If you are referring to the other title that we use to rescue our research subjects from their own stupidity, the correct term would be Voidwalker, which was only used for ironic purposes. We do not have a concept of nothing or nothingness or void in our culture, and our way of mobility does not involve keeping our appendages on the ground, which you call walking. The surface of our home is too unstable for our human body to navigate in.”

Real Identity: “We are but organisms pretending to be other organisms who are in turn, pretending to be other organisms. Why do you desire to apply a meaningless label to all within your range of sight? We do not have a name, because we once did not have the need for one.”

Age: “You want to know where we are progressing in our incredibly long duration of existence? That’s rather personal, which is something you should know. But if you insist, I will inform you that I am around 27 in Earth years, but only in this cycle. Our species are akin to this planet’s turritopsis dohrnii, a creature we find highly fascinating. We have something we wish to ask of you, though. Are you soliciting us, you depraved wretch? I refuse to stand for such unsightly behavior.”

Gender: “We apologize for our ghastly bout of rage. Let’s go back to the main idea, which concerns my gender. We are hermaphrodic in nature, although some display preferences to those who would take certain roles in reproduction. Some would prefer to nurse the grubs, while others would like to fertilize the eggs that hatch the grubs. Personally, we prefer to be the ones doing the fertilizing, as due to a defect that we have, birthing would be a painful and possibly deadly process. So I suppose I would be considered a ‘male,’ even though that’s considered only a fashion statement for us.”

Nationality: “Technically, we would be considered American, since my spore landed there.”

Appearance: “What?! You’re being ridiculous. We don’t trust you enough to divulge such information, and even if we wanted to, we couldn’t simply show you what we once looked like.”

Costume Appearance: “That’s much better. We are right here, thank you.”

Height: “Thank you. It is a pleasure to answer questions that are less personal and embarassing. We genuinely appreciate your efforts. Our height is approximately 5’5, which is perfectly healthy for our, um, mansona.”

Weight: “The last time we checked, we weighed 65.43 kilograms.”

Powers: “Please promise us that you are not going to use this information against us, as we are scared to not exist. Aren’t you?”

“In the sense that you are conveying, we are not mutants, which means that there currently is no reason to cull us. The only defect that we could possibly have is our birthing pain, which are not a result of genetic circumstances. Our biology is perfectly normal. You’re the strange ones. You are a flesh construct who shouldn’t be able to survive this planet in the first place. Even the ‘mutants’ have a higher degree of normality than you. That is the sole reason that we consider the humans of this planet unique, and why we believe you are worthy of study. You are not supposed to be here. And yet there you are.”

“We possess psionics, and we once had tentacles. The latter are now just phantom limbs, sadly enough. We can hear the whispered pleads of the other members of our species, even if they are galaxies away, and we can whisper to them back. But why should we? Doing so would only worsen the dissonance between the parties of the mindscape that we share. We are telepathic and we can read surface thoughts, but that ability is uncontrolled. We could hypothetically communicate with humans using our natural abilities, but they would not even be able to reply to us, which could be a blessing in disguise. There is no compatibility between us, and even then, our calculations state that they could only hear us if they were in a 10-meter radius. And then, there’s conditional immortality, meaning we cannot succumb to a ‘natural’ death. Fatal wounds, starvation, and the like would still terminate us. If we happen to succumb to old age, we could pupate and become young children. But considering that the natives here bury or burn their dead...”

Equipment: “There’s nothing notable here, since we keep few personal belongings. We have an apartment room, a car, a scalpel, a microscope, some posters, a telescope, a laptop, a smartphone, and other such objects. We don’t carry that all around, of course. We don’t need a weapon since we could simply stun the attackers and abscond from the area. It’s that simple.”

Weaknesses: “We believe that you do not have a warrant to interrogate me, and that even if you did, we find it scandalous. Unfortunately, though, you are a ‘mutant’ with the ability to force me to state the truth and only the truth. We can be killed by mortal wounds. We have an aversion to bodies of water, even though we feel no distress or discomfort while drinking dihydrogen monoxide. Although we pride ourselves in our mental fortitude, we can be easily irritated, and we have an aversion to telling lies.” A brief silence fills the room. “Are you content with what you have done to us, friend?”

Alignment: “Lawful Neutral suits our personality the best, although we’ve always found Chaotic Neutral appealing as well. Our alignment tends to shift, because we have different minds, in a sense.”

Personality: “To understand our behavior, you must first learn about the convoluted mess that we call our culture. Most citizens are expected to share many similarities, and even though it may seem cruel and unnecessary to you, this is actually vital for our survival. We share many of our thoughts, and if they contradict each other, we may undergo a state of psychosis. That is why we have a tendency to not use the pronouns ‘I’ and ‘my,’ but rather ‘us’ and ‘our.’ We like to believe we are the ultimate voice of reason, pushing down our emotions and using only logic and intelligence to make our decisions. One of the many recurring themes we have include metamorphosis and growth. Rather than owning canines and felines, we prefer arachnids and snakes. Learning and exploring is highly encouraged, and in a sense, we are almost a family. Despite that, we are considered solitary and introverted, as we are content with interacting with mainly our mates and our small group of peers. We prefer to stay in our bubble of personal space, you see. This is who we are.”

Occupation: "A simple hacker we are, hired by uncountable numbers of clients to obtain information from the mysterious databases of the web."

Background: [REDACTED] [WIP]

Theme Song: “We don’t think we have any leitmotifs, although we’ve always liked Fantasia by Mozart. It pacified us.”

RP Example: "We are not grubs, thank you very much."

Super Identity: Sepiya
Real Identity: Osip Dukhov
Age: 39
Gender: Male
Nationality: Russian-American
Appearance:

Costume Appearance: Same as above
Height: 6'8 ft
Weight: 201 lbs
Powers:

Cephalopod Physiology, specifically the abilities below:
- Elasticity (mostly limited to stretching himself and being able to contort himself as if he had no bones.)
- Adhesion (he can use static cling to stick to things, such as walls or whatever he is carrying. The field he generates extends past his skin, allowing him to use this power even when his bare skin is covered by clothing such as gloves or footwear.)
- Invisibility (He can warp light around himself to make both himself and anything he is wearing or carrying invisible. This is his equivalent of the colour-changing abilities of many cephalopods, only he can use it without having to go in the nude.)
Firearms training
Hand-to-hand combat training
Acrobatics training

Equipment: Several suits, a Glock 18 pistol, food, a well-furnished apartment, etc.
Weaknesses:

As vulnerable to bullets or punches as a regular human
Narcissistic, and unable to admit that anything is his fault
Socially awkward
His odd mannerisms, height, and unusual appearance means that when he's not invisible, he sticks out like a sore thumb

Alignment: Neutral Evil
Personality: Self-centred and somewhat childish, Osip revels in the role of the "quiet, terrifying assassin" that his powers have allowed him to fill, actively encouraging urban legends regarding his powers. He forces himself to avoid people in order to seem "aloof", but in secret really does enjoy talking to people, as long as he is in a position of power. He has an odd, stilted way of speaking, as if everything he says is rehearsed, and he generally seems awkward. He is always making excuses for the many amoral actions he takes in the service of the Bratva, but they often fall flat. He refuses to take blame for any wrong, preferring to blame his subordinates, his superiors, or the deterministic nature of the universe, in that order, rather than himself.
Occupation: Assassin for the Solntsevskaya Bratva
Background: TBD

Theme song: TBD

RP experience: TBD

Real Identity: Mackenzie Patterson
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Nationality: American
Appearance: Like This
Costume Appearance: None
Height: 5 Ft, 6 In
Weight: 120 pounds
Powers: Void "Magic": Teleportation, Reality Negation, Nothingness Manipulation, etc.
She's only now learning her powers so she can utilize very weak forms of the aforementioned powers(ex: teleporting a short distance, negating a little bit of gravity for 10 seconds, forming a fragile shield of nothingness)
Equipment: Clothes? Food? Normal people stuff really.
Weaknesses: For one she's very new to this whole "void control" thing, she doesn't really know much about it and is weak with using it. Anything that negates magic can in turn negate her powers. Also, she herself is physically fragile, being short for her age and rarely getting any exercise.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Personality: Introverted, Shy. She doesn't really understand people or how to talk to them. When she does form attachments, she can be a very funny person to hang with, if only for her awkward behavior and confused remarks.
Occupation: Currently, College student and a cashier at a local Dunkin Donuts.
Background: Mackenzie was born in 1997 in Hartford, Connecticut. She lived a fairly normal life, going through school and generally just having a normal childhood. She's always ben shy, generally keeping to herself. There was, of course, the occasional person who would notice her and get her to open up, which would lead to her forming a small group of friends that she would keep close, out of fear of losing them. She's never dated before, anxiety keeping her from asking anyone, despite the encouragement of her friends. She just kind of glided, under the radar, until a super fight demolished her school and triggered her powers. In an accident she didn't even realize, she had formed a shield out of thin air to protect one of her friends from a mutant sent flying by a powerful punch. Shocked and appalled by this seemingly impossible feat, she ran far away from home, to the City of Angels. She finished high school, got a new job, entered college, and since she discovered her powers, she's been finding new ones and training old ones. She can now form a sturdy shield, although it's far from perfect, and she has discovered new powers such as what she calls a "Blink", the ability to teleport a short distance, and she can cancel enough of the gravity around her to float above the ground, however this requires a lot of concentration and she can only keep herself up for a short time. She is currently trying to find anybody that can help her understand her newfound powers and how to deal with them.

Theme song: She's not even a "super hero" yet so

RP experience: Only now getting into single character RPs, so nothing yet.

Equipment means the things your character brings, like smartphone, or wallet, or gun, for example. I think clothes and food is an automatic needs.

But other than that, every other thing's fine. Accepted, welcome aboard.

Super Identity (If you have one):N/A
Real Identity:Dustin A. Walker
Age: 52 Years
Gender: Male
Nationality: American
Appearance:

Costume Appearance (If you have one): If you count his Suit and Tie
Height: 6, 2"
Weight: 195 lbs
Powers:
-Social Intuition aka Common Touch - intuitively determine how to interact with subjects. One with this ability could tell exactly what to say to interact with certain people, or tell the rank of a person within a group. The user also gains a great voice, eloquence and charisma.
-Clear Mind
-Enhanced Senses
-Tactical Analysis
-Photographic Deduction
Equipment: A High-Rise Luxury Condo, Several Suits, Smartphone, Two Luxury Cars, Lots of Cash, and a Concealed pistol for Self-defense
Weaknesses:
1. Superiority, Walker's success has obscured his idea of feeling threatened, potentially leading to underestimating people
2. Alchoholsim-Self Explanatory
3. Chronic Headaches-Leading to Medicine to keep them away...but they are blood thinners afterall
4. Getting Old- Despite his strict healthy regimen to keep him in good and capable shape, he has reached the point where he has more experience than energy to do things. He can't compete against someone younger that has trained as much as he has
Alignment (Ex; Chaotic Hero, Lawful Evil, etc): Lawful Evil
Personality: ENTJ, He is a man of ambition and willing to bend and break rules or make sacrifices to achieve them, he works out of self-benefit in most occasions, devoting acts of selflessness and care only for those he consider loyal and family (and not liabilities). He is clever and outwardly extroverted and kind, but he is ruthless and cruel when he needs to be. Fortunately he is infinitely patient. Visibly and on first impressions, he plays the card of care-free, quirky multi-millionaire. He is notably a generous employer for those that are loyal and have merit/use that work for him
Occupation: Founder and Owner of Meta Inc.
Background: Dustin Andrew Walker, was born to a lower middle-class family in Austin, Texas. Son of a Teacher and a Factory worker, since he was young, his parents noted he was a brighter than the other students, but also suffered from mild headaches often. His parents wanted the best for the young prodigious genius and began to send him to private schools and flying across the country to provide him with the best education possible. However while he was in High School when his father developed cancer, that risked great change as Dustin refused to pull the cord on his father so he could continue his education. Instead, while a student at a boarding school in New York, Walker was employed by a secret government organization which utilized mutants for secret espionage missions. In this time, Walker became focused on efficiency, success, and achievement by any means as he was eternally busy in and outside of school.

Unfortunately his father died a month before his High School Graduation, and his mother had fallen into a catatonic state that forced Walker to send her to a nursing home back in Texas. Walker then attended Harvard University while continuing to work for the US Government Covertly through the 80s. Soon, Walker started using his money to put money into stocks of various rising companies that became uber successful and making Dustin a profit. This profit took Walker to Los Angelus, and he built his own holding corporation their, buying share and eventually purchasing companies and turn them more successful. While based in LA, Walker invested heavily in Silicon Valley companies. Making himself more successful, along the way he had married an intelligent daughter of a director of JP. Morgan and had a pair of children, a girl and a boy, both of which are grown and in college now.

Currently, Meta Inc. influence is not on the level of the LASTF or the Russian Mafia, however, continued work into garnering political support through lobbyists and donations to political candidates and making other connections throughout LA has been a subject of much of Meta Inc. attention
