For one thing Sage was shape shifted at the time, several times actually, even the police wouldn't have the footage yet as they had to contain fire, and you shouldn't have any idea of where Sage is yet. The security footage wouldn't be public yet, about all that is known is the school was attacked, had tags linked to The Wayward, and that a picture was uploaded on a blank, throwaway account.

Neither face Sage used to trash the school, or do the upload look like the one she used to get home. The World Thread isn't entirely build to be a sandbox, and just jumping in on whatever is happening. It's supposed to be snapshots of social media, news posts, world events, or pre-planned things (Such as what Sage is doing). You really need to be discussing with people what you're planning, what you want to do, and get other people involved. It's not it's own thing, it's for sub arcs, and pre-planned things, not just whatever you want to do. I'll reiterate, as I'm trying to be nice, you want to find other people, plan things, and talk it out, not just reply to whatever.

Oops, sorry.
EDIT: I changed my post so The Serpent's Head is just upset that he has no idea who she was.

FACTION APPLICATION

Name: The Tarot

Classification: B

Membership: 78 metahumans.

Areas of Operation: Global.

Alignment: Villains.

Description of Faction Strength Level: The Tarot are a all-metahuman group; however, their membership varies wildly in overall strength, as a good number of them have non-combat powers used to enable them to operate independently from the rest of the world. Equally, however, they do have a number of capable heavy hitters in their ranks, but their most dangerous asset by far is their capabilities as a team and their synergy.

Background: The Tarot are one of the, if not the, oldest continuously operating groups of villainous metahumans. However, this is probably one of their sole claims to fame, as for such a long-lasting group, they are otherwise unremarkable. They have few recorded fights against hero teams, most of which end in a Tarot tactical withdrawal. Their aims are unknown, as they strike at seemingly random targets with frankly excessive precision given how minor they seem to be, never remaining for a second beyond the minimum amount, never getting drawn away or distracted. Whatever they're after, it's not wealth, nor infamy, nor an ideological bent, and there's the added enigma of how such a large group of villainous metahumans remains cohesive after such a long period of time.

This account must be deleted. The person behind it is a racist, annoying waste of life that must be shunned back to whatever rock he crawled out from.

JOURNALIST APPLICATION

VITALS

Name: Maren Logan
Nickname/Pseudonym: N/A
Appearance:
Image

Gender: Female
Age: 26

DETAILS

Outlet: The Meta Post. An independent outlet that covers news specifically related to metahumans, known for reporting thoroughly and on breaking news as it happens. She's also written for conservative outlets before, most notably having some pieces for Fox News, most of them about metahumans. Sometimes, she still does work with Fox on larger stories.
Bias: Right libertarian
Home City: Bellefonte, Pennsylvania / London, England
Nationality: American
Integrity Rating: 4

Personality: The kind of person that would be annoying in every day life but is a good journalist because of it. Thorough, detail oriented, and more importantly, happy to badger someone for details until they give up more info that can work towards a story. She could be described as having an alpha personality and a determined streak, which can be a good or a bad. Get on her bad side and she's not going to stop digging dirt up on you, even if it takes forever.

Bio: This small town Pennsylvania girl was a longshot to become a journalist, but as it turns out, journalism focusing on metahumans has lower standards than traditional journalism. She attended two years of college at Lehigh before deciding that the college life just wasn't for her, dropping out and doing freelance work with the rest of the money that had been set aside to pay for school. Her parents weren't happy about it... But living out of her car as she went from place to place to track down metahumans, she gained the attention of the Meta Post and was brought on part time for them, eventually getting upgraded to a full time position and becoming one of their investigative journalists. She's talked to people on both sides of the law and done interviews with both the Syndicate and the Red Storm, NEXT and Lux. As of now, her main post has been moved to Europe, where the Meta Post is expanding its contacts.

Simon Carter

"Do onto others as they desire to do onto you"

Image


VITALS

Name: Simon Carter
Nickname/Alias: Marquis
Appearance:
Image
Image


Gender: Male
Age: 24
Build: Average... im sorry im a lazy app'er

Primary Ability: Osteokinesis: Simon has complete control over the skeleton in his body, allowing him to shape its density, weight, and geometry. As well as being able to control bones outside his body for a limited time as long as they are no more than 10 meters away and belonged to him. Conservation of mass applies. However the bones seem tougher than mundane specimens by a magnitude. However he has also been observed to generate up to 20kg of bone with the usage of currently unknown methods.

Other Abilities: Limited Healing Factor: A healing factor that allows Simon to heal slowly, regenerating even arms with enough time. This healing is far more effective if the damage originated from within his skin than without, allowing him to use his abilities without tearing his body to shred.

Power Drawbacks: His abilities only affect himself, he cannot affect the bones of others in any way other than hitting them with sledgehammers, to make a bone more dense mass must be taken from another part of his body. Overuse of his powers can cause heavy damage to his body, damage his healing factor may not be able to repair. Reshaping bones also tends to hurt a lot.

Equipment: A heckler and kosh submachine gun
DETAILS

Nationality: English
Hometown: London
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Biggest Flaw: Simon can be… a little strange at time. His kindness is also likely to be abused.
Main Skills:
-Very Intelligent
-Good grasp of tactics
-Excellent Reflexes
-High Pain Tolerance
-Absorbs Information Easily

Personality: Simon is naturally curious due to his unique situation. Eager to take in as much information as he can for no other reason than to have it. Can almost always be seen with a faint smile on his face due to subconsciously viewing that displaying anything other than a smile would be a sign of weakness. Tends to be quite laid back and casual while off the job and sometimes on the job as well. At times he seems oddly cheerful and goes out of his way to help teammates. At other times he can be very unnerving if his cheerful attitude contradicts extremely violent actions. Simon is a firm believer in the golden rule and will dutifully repay any debts he owes. However he will also typically respond in kind to anyone taking hostile actions towards him, interpreting it as something they would want to be done to them. However up until that point he will usually positively interpret anyone’s actions.

Biography: Simon doesn’t remember much of his life. A few years ago he was found on a long unused highway that had fallen into disrepair long before he mysteriously arrived there. He walked out of there towards the nearest hint of civilization babbling about cities wreathed in darkness and breathing in the vacuums. These are the first things he can remember. After staying at a homeless shelter until he could get his bearings, Simon set out on a journey and joined a convent of monks belonging to a minor pacifistic religion that taught him about virtue and kindness. He was also taught to live his life with the golden rule in mind in whatever he did. He continued to follow this philosophy with some slight alterations after the covenant was killed by several rioting mages.

Simon continued to travel on his own path for years, acting a ‘sort of vigilante’. Helping to arrest criminals that acted openly, always nonlethally unless they tried to take a swing at him, in that case their bodies could not be identified due to liberal application of Simon’s newly developing powers. However after one too many murders he was arrested by law enforcement and sent to prison. He remained there in peace for a few months before he massacred a segment of the prison population during a particularly vicious prison riot. This was actually quite positively received by the local media who lauded him as a hero in some capacity. He was able to use this temporary popularity to speed up his appeal and became a free man once again. A few more years and he was found by Syndicate recruiters who promptly persuaded him to join.

INSERT FULL NAME HERE IN CAPS

"Have at thee, ye foul knave!"

Image


VITALS

Name: Antonio Laferla
Nickname/Alias: The Sparrow
Appearance:

Gender: Male
Age: 32
Build: 5'5', 74.8 kg

Primary Ability: Enhanced Athleticism: Due to a experimental chemical formula developed by the now defunct Chang Corporation, Antonio is super-humanly athletic. This allows him to do things like run across walls, do complex flips and stunts far above that of an average gymnast, and gives him the ability to dodge incoming attacks gracefully,

Other Abilities: Contortion: The same chemical that gave Antonio his Athleticism has also made him much more flexible. As a result, he is able to contort his body into different poses and use it to slip into areas people could not usually reach.

Power Drawbacks: Despite all the advantages these powers give him, Antonio is weak compared to most metas and can be easily defeated by one more powerful than him.

Equipment: Smoke Pellets, his trusty rapier " Matilda", and a minature crossbow that fires tranqulizer dots


DETAILS

Nationality: Italian
Hometown: Milan
Sexuality: Male

Biggest Flaw: Antonio is a ex-thief. As such, The Syndicate is keeping a close eye on him to make sure he doesn't "liberate" items from the criminals he fights. Antonio, though he tries to resist it, still has the compulsion to steal items like money and jewels and give them to the less fortunate.
Main Skills: He is a skilled fencer and boxer.

Personality:

Biography: (Should be at least two paragraphs.)

XXI: The World

"Heroism is about what you're willing to sacrifice for others. I sacrificed everything, and seek nothing in return. "

Image


VITALS

Name: "My name is meaningless. Irrelevant. It means nothing to me, and, to be quite honest, I have never associated it with myself that strongly."
Nickname/Alias: "Rather, I would prefer you call me by XXI: The World. Or Hugh. Not my real name, but a name of use."
Appearance:
"You thought you would get a picture of me? Good luck. This is the best you're getting." Image

Gender: "Male."
Age: "Irrelevant. But I am in my seventies."
Build: "5' 9".
Status: "I am a metahuman."
Classification: "A or B."

Primary Ability: "I have a power. The closest I can approximate it to is precognition, but it is not."
Other Abilities: "I have no other abilities."

Power Drawbacks: "I have a power, but it is a very... Specific one. It is a power I cannot use except under one circumstance. So specific as it is, quite literally, useless. It is a power that is not tactical, operational or strategic; it is what is above strategy."

Equipment: "Equipment is how I fight. I have a suit of power armour, like the rest of The Tarot do. For weapons, I carry a FAMAS M1, a HK MP5, a Benelli Super 90, and when necessary a PGM Hécate II."

DETAILS

Organization: "I lead The Tarot. They are mine."
Profession: "Some would say supervillain. I call myself a philanthropist."

Alignment: "The world calls me evil. A villain. They think in binary terms. I am neither a hero nor a villain. I merely am."

Nationality: "That is a complex issue. By the country that controls my birthplace today, Algerian. By the country I was born into, French. By my citizenship, French. By my ethnicity, I am stateless, and by my own views, I am a citizen of no nation."
Residence: "None fixed. I live on the submarine Tyrant."
Sexuality: "Hetreosexual, although I am too busy for such buisness."

Personality: "I am me. I apologise as I am terrible at describing myself, and people seem to have all manner of things to say about me. Cruel, malicious, treacherous, pragmatic, ruthless. A dick. I don't care. I do what I must. And I act however is necessary."

Biography: "I suppose I should start at the beginning. Not... The very beginning, but the most recent one. I was born in Tunis, in Algeria, in 1950. My parents were pied-noirs, French, my father a soldier. He died fighting for the French Army, killed by the 'native people'. Algeria became independent when I was twelve, and my homeland was somewhere I no longer knew. I left at the age of twenty, 1970, but France was not my homeland either. I was scorned there just as much as I was back home. I joined the French Foreign Legion, and served with it in Chad, Lebanon, Zaire. Fourteen years of service. I accomplished nothing, but I had nothing else to offer, no qualifications. I met the man who would be known as IV: The Emperor there. He was French, and my superior officer, but he was a man who respected me and whom I, in return, respected. He was the first of The Tarot."

"He gained his powers in 1982. Uncontrolled. He did not know what he was doing. I did, and so I managed to calm him down, but not before he had done too much damage by himself. I trusted him to control me, and so we ran. Oh, the heroes came for us, but we evaded them. We were villains now, yes, but a man being labelled a villain does not make him one. We concieved of the idea of The Tarot, a group of people like ourselves, and so we spent the next decade forming up. Recruiting other individuals with powers. And then, we... I do not feel like explaining it all. We attacked specific targets for specific reasons. Minimal collateral damage. Minimal property damage. Objectives achieved with no losses. Professional, clean, quick. Mysterious. We confused everyone. I care not. Their understanding is unnecessary. We remained cautious. Picking our battles, our fights, even though we did not strictly need to. And that brings us to today. We continue as we always have."

NEV HURN

"If you think it, I can make it, and I’ll always make it better than you can."

Image


VITALS

Name:Nev Hurn
Nickname/Alias: Mekaniak
Appearance:
Image


Gender: Male
Age: 21
Build: 5’10”, 138 lbs, muscular build
Status: Metahuman
Classification: C

Primary Ability: The Mekaniac’s Touch: Nev has the uncanny ability to make whatever he makes or modifies work when he uses it, even if the creation must defy the laws of physics to operate. As long as he believes that it or the user can make it work, it will work, usually at the same or superior efficiency to their more common equivalent.
Other Abilities: Run of the Mill: By concealing his identity through both experience and necessity, Nev is a master of hiding himself in plain sight as a normal person, making it harder for those after him to effectively track him down.

Power Drawbacks: Nev has a hard time believing that someone else can use his creations correctly, that they lack the ‘Mekaniac’s Touch’ needed to properly operate them. This then causes his creations to lose any capability of working, even if it makes perfect sense for them to, and are then guaranteed to fail and/or fall apart. His creations will always require one or more ‘key parts’, parts that Nev believes that his creations just won’t work without, the more complex the creation, the more key parts required to make it. While Nev can fool anyone into thinking he’s simply an ordinary person, any telepath or those with powers that reveal the truth can easily see through his facade.

Equipment: Any creation he decides to bring along. An oversized monkey wrench to bash someone’s head in, or mend whatever a swift kick to the frame just won’t fix.

DETAILS

Organization: Independant (With an interest in Lux)
Profession: Criminal

Alignment: Evil

Nationality: Russian
Residence: London
Sexuality: Bi

Personality:Nev is, to say the least, as eccentric as his creations, and is as just as likely to offer you a bite to eat as he is to pick you clean of your belongings. He is also a kleptomaniac, stealing anything he likes, especially shiny and bright things, which will usually go into making his stuff. He enjoys going fast, and whatever that is making him go fast must also be loud, and despite the fact that he doesn't know how to drive properly, he will still be behind the steering wheel at breakneck speeds given the chance.

Biography: Nev was abandoned since birth, his parents being too poor to afford another mouth to feed, though through the kindness of others, he was able to survive past his infant years. As soon as he could fend for himself, he did, and seeing how it was the only thing he knew, he loved to do it, whether it would be salvaging things from the dumpster to sell or outright stealing from stores and people.

Somehow, stealing from others who clearly didn’t need the stuff he needed was satisfying to him, but there were always something that someone possessed that he felt like he just couldn’t live without, be it a shiny watch, or the newest Adidas wear. So he got better at stealing, and the better he got, the more he could walk away with.

By 18 years of age, Nev had taken up shelter in an old train car, which was both roomy and inconspicuous. It was at this time that he realized that he had a knack for making things. The first thing he made was a little space heater, but most of the parts he put into it were busted. Somehow, the heater run as if it was brand spanking new, much to Nev’s enjoyment. So he started making more stuff out of what he could scrounge up, and whenever he wasn't stealing or salvaging, he was inventing.

One day, while Nev was in the train car, the doors slid shut and locked, putting Nev into a state of panic. Minutes later, Nev was moving, or rather, the car was, hundreds of miles from Russia to Dunkirk, France. It would be days until Nev could see outside, but on the day it arrived, the car stopped and the door slid open. Nev, happy to finally be able to go outside, lept out, only to be greeted by a particularly buff guard, who promptly apprehended him.

Next thing he knew, he was in a holding facility as he waited to be deported. But he didn't know this, he thought that it was a prison. Of course he wasn't gonna have any of that shit, and tried busting the lock open, only to get a whack to the head and a stubbed toe. Soon enough, he was offered a snack, some saltine crackers and a glass of water. Nev got an idea, an impossible idea that only an idiot would hatch. He started to eat a cracker into the shape of a key, then started to slowly grind the cracker as thin as it could hold itself up. Then, defying logic, Nev slid the cracker into the keyhole and turned it, and the door that held him unlocked.

After a pause of ‘what the fuck’ Nev bolted outside and ran, police hot on his heels. Luckily he had experience running from law enforcement before, and these ones were no different. However, he ended up reaching the English Channel, and hijacked a nearby jetski to travel across into the UK. He escaped, and was able to enter the River Thames all the way to London.

Having lost all but the clothes on his back, Nev started from the bottom, and stole, salvaged, and jury-rigged his way up. Having found an abandoned metro station, Nev took up a permanent residence there. Having stole enough money, Nev understood that if he wanted to keep this up, he would have to conceal his face and change his appearance, so he waltzed in and out of stores to put together his now staple costume. Now that people like Lux and the Red Storm have started to crop up, they have gotten his attention, and figured that it was now time to get theirs.

ISABELLA JIMÉNEZ-GARCÍA

"The true scars are the ones you can't see"

Image


VITALS

Name: Isabella Jiménez-García
Nickname/Alias: Babylon
Appearance:
Image
Image
Image


Gender: Female
Age: 28
Build: 1.87m tall, slim and athletic from years of training

Primary Ability:
Fight - She can warp space to make herself and anything she is wearing or holding to become exponentially larger. She can easily become five metres tall, becoming nearly three times as durable with attacks shrinking to nearly three times smaller than they would normally be. She can also apply this to her own body, shrinking injuries to a third of their size or impacted area as a sort of healing. Over the course of ten minutes she can grow larger, to around ten metres tall. She can grow to nearly twenty metres tall the longer she is in a fight and the more injured she is. There is no exact time frame, but it takes roughly ten minutes to get to fifteen metres and thirty minutes to get to twenty metres. It is thought that she can grow taller than that, but she has never been engaged in a fight for any longer than that while being a giant, and the extreme wounds she would have to sustain to grow to such a size would not make up for the arguably negligible temporary benefit. At ten and fifteen metres there is no discernible difference, but when she gets larger than that her reaction times take longer and she reacts to things later, as the size distortion grows so powerful that time, light, and other forces take longer to effect her. This also forces the external forces her power manipulates, like her strength and flight, to no longer work.

OR

Flight - She can gain the power of flight, manipulating gravity's effects on her to fly at speeds of nearly 150km/h, and able to attain speeds of nearly 200km/h if she has time to speed up over the course of an hour without having to turn, only useful for long distance travel. Her flight offers some manoeuvrability, with fairly quick turning speeds while under 70km/h, but growing increasingly difficult to turn over that.

Other Abilities:
Durability - So close to her skin that it might as well be part of her is an invisible force field that covers her entire body. It can withstand any blow, no matter how hard, completely nullifying even powers that can rip/cut/punch through anything. However, anything more powerful than a grenade can break it, forcing it to reform, which takes anywhere from two to thirty seconds. It takes longer to reform after suffering a continuous stream of damage or the more damage in general it takes, like a steady jet of flame or being covered in acid. Bullets cannot penetrate her, no matter how many of them there are, at any range. However, more blunt hits, like a well placed punch, can occasionally break her force field. Every time it is broken, it leaves her vulnerable to attack, as she is only slightly more durable than the average person under her force field. Every day her force field gets fractionally stronger, as when she first got it she could barely withstand a gunshot with her force field coming back nearly a half a minute later, and a decade later she can survive a grenade with her field back up five seconds later. While it is up and not sustaining major damage, her force field provides a minor healing factor, allowing small cuts and scratches to disappear in under a minute and fixing major damage slightly faster than normal, in additional to siphoning off some of her pain. She can even regrow lost body parts, though not very quickly. Her eye, for example, has another few months before it is fully regrown, and it was destroyed a decade ago. In the past year her force field has shown the ability to change colours and effects, becoming a shadowy wreath writhing around her, or a glowing halo, or a sparkling shimmer, and anything else she can think of. This isn't detailed enough to act like camouflage or to pretend to be someone else, but it does make her have a bit more pizzazz.

Strength - She is incredibly strong, though this is not so much her own strength as her ability to manipulate the mass of things she is touching. She can make steel beams less dense so she can crumple them like cardboard, or lift a car because it is no more heavy than a giant lump of wood. However, this does not apply to organic matter and her ability lasts after she touches the object. This means that if she throws a steel beam at you as if it were made of paper, it would only hit you as if it were made of paper. She could punch a hole in the mask of your costume, but she would do minimal damage to your face. She can do the reverse, and increase the mass of an object to make it stronger and more dense, but she isn't actually strong, so she couldn't just throw a piece of paper the weight of a two story building at someone.

Power Drawbacks:
- For her size, she becomes a much larger target, slows down, and has limited mobility. For a longer, drawn out battle with heavy hitters, this form is the ideal tank, but in a fast paced battle that moves around, she often has a difficult time keeping up. Stealth is also a non-starter, as her size and the noise she makes are nearly impossible to mask. Her loss of her ability to use her mass manipulation also makes her weaker than she is when she is small, though she is not necessarily weak, just what you would expect for a giant woman. In simple terms, this power requires her to sacrifice versatility for raw power, as she cannot be a flying, super strong titan of a woman. She also cannot simply switch from one to another, as it takes time for her to become a giantess and shrinking takes a near equivalent amount of time as well.

- In terms of flight, she cannot dodge a speeding bullet or race around the world in the blink of an eye. In fact, she couldn't make it down one street and onto the next in the blink of an eye. Her faster speeds require a buildup and reduce all manoeuvrability to virtually nothing, as it is actually a form of gravity manipulation, only applicable to herself and anything very close her her skin, i.e. her costume, and switching gravity to allow her to quickly turn when she has momentum is an impossible feat. In a very real sense, her flight is a faster form of controlled falling. While the flight does make her mobile and more versatile, this is at the expense of the potential to be much stronger and more durable in her other form, as it is an either/or situation.

- Her force field can be destroyed, even by conventional weapons. While it is great at keeping the general fire of things like guns from harming her, it shorts out with more powerful and directed hits, making her vulnerable while it tries to reform. Also, the more damage it sustains before it falls, the longer it stays down, up to around thirty seconds. The more injuries she sustains that need to be healed and the more her force field takes away her pain, the longer it takes to reform, even if she was not taking any damage before it was broken.

- Her strength does make her "strong", but it is limited in that it cannot affect organic matter and any item touched retains a similar "weight" for several seconds after she releases it, making throwing cars at people an ineffective method for anything other than causing property damage, something that might benefit her as a villain, but is a detriment as a hero. Additionally, when she goes the other direction and makes items gain mass, she is effectively unable to lift them, making it best for helping protect property during a fight. This power is touch based, meaning she cannot simply make weapons grow too heavy for her enemies to hold or something similar to that, and only lasts as long as she is in contact and for a few seconds afterwards. She also cannot simply throw buildings around, because even with the maximum leveraging of her power, it would simply be too much for her to lift. The small things add up, and that includes use of her power. Using this power in conjunction with flight is not hard, but it does limit how much she can effectively change mass, making carrying something like a car high up and dropping it difficult because for every moment she moves, the objects she hold begin to return to their normal weight. This makes it incredibly difficult to carry anything heavier than she could carry with her actual strength when she is flying. This doesn't exactly make it an either/or power like her size, but it does limit what she can do substantially.

Equipment:
- Her mirrored helmet, with the radio set built in to communicate with her team, hides her face, and protects her eyes from heavy glare. It is also extra protection for her head.
- A bulletproof, knife proof, fireproof skintight costume with several armour panels in more vulnerable areas, like the spine, shins, etc. They also work to help make her shape more feminine, as skintight clothes are never a good idea unless you are some inhuman Venus incarnate. Of course, in a world with superheroes, this is more for her peace of mind rather than any meaningful defence, as her power can block anything the suit can and can't block anything the suit can't.
- Her cape, more durable and heavy than her suit, filled with small pockets for her different tools
- A small knife, roughly the length of her hand, that is sharp and strong enough to be used as a crowbar
- A small collapsible baton with an attachable spear head for when she is a giantess
- A small collapsible shield with the image of the same tower that is on her chest. It is made of a light aluminium alloy, but she can make it stronger when she grows.
- A can of pepper spray
- A small handgun with two extra bullet magazines
- A small taser

DETAILS

Nationality: Colombian
Hometown: Bogotá
Sexuality: Straight

Biggest Flaw: Her biggest flaw in personality is the way she is often either too cautious and rational, willing to follow orders to the very end, even if they seem terrible. The only exceptions to this are when she is injured and enraged, and will fight anyone who dares to oppose her, even if they could beat her easily. This enraged state usually happens in her giantess form, when her brain is slowed down and unable to properly think things through. A smaller flaw could be her poor depth perception from only having one eye, as well as the need for her public persona to be portrayed as invincible, leading her to have to go into more dangerous situations.

Main Skills: Her powers are her main skill, though she is good with a knife and decent enough with a gun, as she has been trained for years and knows the basics. She is also an excellent pianist and musical theatre performer, but being a superhero doesn't leave much time for those activities. The advanced speed of her brain also allows her to have quicker reaction times and process/learn information faster, though not to a degree that it could be considered a power in itself. Of course, this is nullified when she grows.

Personality: A normally levelheaded and somewhat boring woman, once she gets a good hit of her powers or some adrenaline in her system, she becomes a fearsome force of destruction, preferring a good smack down rather than a concrete strategy in battle. She is beautiful, in the sense that she is so exceptionally average in appearance, to the point that it is borderline eerie, that it is impossible to not like the way she looks, if not to exactly become infatuated. It is nearly impossible to determine her as belonging to any particular ethnicity, nor eliminate her from one, unless you were to know that she is from South America or recognise her somewhat thick accent. This makes some people think she is a lot more charming or mysterious than she actually is. The only interesting feature on her is her slowly reforming eye and scar striking out from it, though makeup and her hair covers that up when she has to go unmasked in public, to continue the charade that is is totally invincible. This has made her willing to tell lies to preserve what she sees as the common good, especially for the Syndicate, who have her complete loyalty.

Biography: (Should be at least two paragraphs.)
Isabella was born in Bogotá, her mother a school teacher and her father a meta human by the name of Bastión, who had the power of super-fast flight, near invincibility, super strength, and powerful force fields. He was a member of the Columbian branch of the Syndicate, based in Bogotá, and a local hero who was loved by many. Isabella was happy to grow up with her father as a role model, though she never had to deal with the repercussions of celebrity as he was a hero in the days when heroes were still anonymous people doing amazing feats for nothing but honour and the common good. He taught her what it meant to be a hero, and she took that to heart. She loved her mother and respected that she wanted a simpler life, but for her entire life she dreamed of fighting alongside her father. Sadly, it seemed her powers would never manifest. In her teen years she took to putting herself in danger, hoping powers would well up in a time of need. However, time after time no powers manifested and she only found herself bruised and aching for her efforts. The day she did begin to manifest powers at the age of 17 was a wonderful day for her, though very concerning for those around her. It started with flying, or rather, she found herself floating around, unable to touch the ground. Next came the strength, and she accidentally began crushing almost anything she touched, though thankfully not her parents. These powers did not go away however, and seemed to resist any attempts at her to control them. Her father rushed her to the Syndicate HQ in Bogotá, which protected all of Colombia and Ecuador, to find out what might be wrong with her powers. It took weeks of testing, during which time her size distortion began to manifest. The results showed how she was changing gravity and altering the mass of items around her, though no graph could seem to measure how her size warping worked in the same detail. The doctors also noticed how her cells in her outer body seemed to be toughening, almost as if a clear barrier was being formed over it. She stayed under observation for the next three months, and slowly got a grasp on her powers.

She was sent to train away from her home however, as having her out in the superhero scene, if it was ever discovered that Bastión was her father, could put the both of them at risk of kidnapping to blackmail the other. She ended up in Canada, training in Vancouver as part of the Junior Team Walrus. However, two months into her training, on one of her first missions, she took a grenade to her eye. Today, that would annoy her and make her back away for a few moments to get her force field back up. However, back then her shield was still forming, and while she survived, her eye was destroyed and a long scar from shrapnel slashed down her face. This was at the point where her shield was too powerful for such a delicate medical procedure, and doctors could no longer do anything for her. It had already been "revealed" to the public that Babylon was invincible, or that's what the Syndicate thought, and to have that image blown, when truly invincible heroes were so rare, would have been devastating to their image as an organisation. Instead her costume was redesigned to hide the damage, a visor covering all of the affected areas. When the Great Reveal happened, when all heroes publicly revealed their identities it send the Syndicate PR Department into a frenzy to figure out how to make her appear to not have had nearly half of her face blown off by a grenade. The solution was makeup and a false eye, but it would never be able to replace the real thing. She has to live every day knowing she is less than perfect, but she is so grateful to the Syndicate for holding her in such high regard that she is willing to follow their orders to the ends of the Earth.

This looks open, still.
It is open, right?

Oh well, even so, it looks alive enough to me.
I'll look into making an app.

Biography: Nishioka was born to a middle class Japanese family in Tokyo, and at four she could make clones. Her parents also noticed her above average streangth, as Nishioka was able to break down doors if someone wouldn't open it. She didn't hide her abilities and when her parents joined the White Serpent once it was formed, Nishioka thought it was amazing that her parents were with such a shadowy organization. When she was in her Junior year of high school. The Serpent's Head approached her and offered her a seat on the Fanged Council. She was shocked because she had only gone on small raids for the White Serpent, and this offer was very sudden. The Serpent's Head said that she was the only White Fang metahuman in Japan, and that she was being promoted to the Fanged Council, where she was given the code-name "Fang of Greed". Once she was twenty, she managed to unite most of the Yakuza gangs under the White Serpent banner, and received her enhancement suit as a reward. She is also leading the crusade to kick Lux out of Japan, and is extremely against anyone supporting Lux.

Well, I guess I better get round to dealing with Auph's app.

Right off the bat, pick either 'fight' or 'flight'. You're not getting both, full stop. Not even if you toggle between them. End of. No buts.
The forcefield's durability is static. It shouldn't increase or decrease at all.
Reformation period on the force field should be longer, or the damage required to break it should be reduced.
No healing factor, either from 'fight' or the seperate one.

Hell, I'd go as far to say scrap everything that isn't 'fight' since that would be a strong enough power by itself.

I see.

I might drop Babylon then and try someone else.
