I think the idea will play out like in comic's, the hero's and vilans will be ether urban legends like Batman or well known like Superman. As for danger if your city has a hero expect a jump in crime.

As for the world unless there is someone crazy powerful or a strong group baning together like the legion of Doom the metas at most would be a national or reginal problem on the high end to a local or state/prlvidince level problem.

It's a billion dollar business not urban legends, and there are very powerful metahumans. The lore section in the OP goes into detail for a reason.

Shield size was very specific. Would not cover attack from side or rear.

Shouldn't a force beam have bullet like speed?

Will determine durability in inches of steel, later.

It's mainly because using weight makes it a bit easier to tell how it would have an impact in a practical situation. I.E. determining if something can penetrate heavy armor, etc.

The shield will have to be smaller if it's that strong, or it could just be weaker.

About half size shield. Now 1 meter diameter. She could crouch behind it.

ELEK MOHAVE


Name: Elek Mohave
Nickname/Alias: Blade-Maker
Appearance:
Image

Gender: Male
Age: 21
Build: 1.80 meter tall, 61 kg
Faction: Young Guardians
Power Classification: Genetic
Description of Powers:

Blade Forming Whenever Elek thinks he needs something to fight with causing his fingers to eject liquid metal that instantly forms into some kind of blade ranging from knives to broadswords and everything in between ( or just any blade ) the metal ejected needs to be previously absorbed

Metal Absorbtion His fingers heat up the metal to melting point and then absorbs the liquid metal with the fingers( he obviously has the easiest time with mercury but it's hard to make weapons out of it), the metal can only be stored in his arms making it not the biggest storage space but good enough to make things with it, the metal is used to make himself weapons, this also allows for him to shoot out of his hands droplets of hot, melted metal he currently has in there, the droplets are shot at a very high pressure and have ( about 40% ) chance to solidify mid air

Weaknesses: When he does not have a blade he is pretty much defenseless and in order for him to not be able to make blades is to just remove any metal he can absorb
Equipment: Any blade that was ever crafted in the palm of his hand ( figuratively and literally )
Alignment: Chaotic neutral
Nationality: American/Egyptian
Hometown: Detroit  
Sexuality: Asexual
Personality: Basically a Trickster he likes to have a little fun with other people, but ( ah the trope ) he is a frequent flaker he will not have himself killed just because things get too hot
Motivation: To redeem himself ( at least for him )
Biography: (My old enemy we meet again, I'm much better at IC's)

Elek was born in Detroit suburbs to a family living in poverty and despising superhumans, unfortunately for Elek, his powers showed themselves early in the age of 13 when he had an argument with her mother and a knife appeared in his hand, his mother saw that her son had superpowers and abandoned him in one of the crumbling, abandoned buildings, a group of beggars took pity on him and allowed him to their group, by doing so probably saving his life, he begged along with them until the age of 16 when he left them, he planned to start committing crime but refrained from it

After about a year of self-thought and questioning his morals Elek decided too start helping people but maybe because of his power or of police overreaction he got to jail, that was the time Guardians contacted him and asked if he would like to join Young Guardians program, he eagerly accepted the offer believing it would help him to help others and in doing so redeem himself of what he wanted to do.

KANE DAVIDSON


Name: Kane Davidson
Nickname/Alias: Overkill/ Professor Dip-shit
Appearance:
Image

Gender: Male
Age: 22
Build: 6'2 and fairly athletic appearance. Weighs in around 220lbs
Faction: Young Guardians/Kane Tech
Power Classification: Genetic/External

Description of Powers:
-Super Intelligence: Kane possesses super intellect that puts human genius prodigies to shame. He has photographic memory, capable of learning at a extremely fast rate with unnatural grasp of practical and theoretical knowledge. His specialities are biochemistry and mechanical engineering through has vast knowledge in other fields.

-Cybernetics: Kane uses various cybernetic implants to improve his performance. Some have been there a while and others recently installed upon being selected to become one of the Young Guardians. A wireless interface allows him to connect and use any technology that allows for such a wireless connection, on top of an adrenaline stimulator that can allow for manual injection of adrenaline into the system and a pain dampener that can reduce any felt pain or even neutralise it should he choose so. Generation 1 nano machines in his body maintain said implants.

Weaknesses: Kane requires anti rejection medication and mineral pills to stave off implant rejection and to provide materials to maintain his implants. The mineral pills provide minerals not commonly found in food and drink such as gold or silicon. Without these Kane's implants may fall into disrepair and rejection would cause a weakened immune system and infection. On top of this, Kane has a higher need for energy to maintain his powerful brain and such needs to eat frequent, large meals. Also despite not being related to his powers, Kane is addicted to Cocaine and Amphetamines and withdrawal has detrimental psychological effects.

Equipment:
Loki APS: The Loki Adaptive Powered Suit is a suit of armour that can add, remove and change parts in seconds. This is possible with the use of Loki Drones which fly in and remove or add parts, allowing Kane to switch from an infantry power suit to an artillery power suit in under a minute. Protection and strength varies with modifications. The Loki APS is synchronised with Kane's cybernetic interface and can be called in and put on with ease with a thought.

Stimpack: The Stimpack is a zip pouch containing auto-injectors, painkillers, antibiotics and bandages. Auto-injectors contain his various performance enhancing drugs such as the Vitality Shot which sends cells into a reproductive overdrive, using up the body's energy at a high rate in exchange for healing minor injuries over the course of a couple of minutes, stabilising the critically injured and stopping intense bleeding. Strength Enhancers force the body to use more of their muscle mass (The average human only being able to summon around 20% to 30% of their muscle mass), increasing usage to 65% making the user more than twice as strong for a couple of hours at the cost of increased use of the body's energy and risking damage to joints, tendons and bones. Stamina Enhancers use certain chemicals commonly found in Cocaine and Amphetamines mixed in with adrenaline. This chemical cocktail increases awareness, reaction time, endurance etc however the heart rate will increase significantly over the few hours under its effect. Finally there are Brain Enhancers which causes neurons to make connections at triple the speed as normal over the next few hours essentially making learning and retaining information much faster and easier. All these drugs cause temporary fatigue and depression when coming down from them and can be addictive and straining on the body with extensive use. New drugs may be added over time.

The Surgeon: A custom built 10mm Auto handgun featuring a bio-metric trigger tailored only to Kane, preventing others from firing the weapon along with an electronic firing mechanism to eliminate the chance of accidental discharge. Despite the use of electronics in the firearm, it his very reliable and durable. The pistol has standard 12 round duel stacked magazines however 20 round, 32 round, 40 round and 100 round magazines are available. The pistol is also select fire capable of switching from semi automatic to 3 round burst at 900 RPM and fully automatic at 770 RPM.

Little Willy & Tiny Tim: Custom built 9mm compact pistols used as a fall back weapons if he loses the rest of his guns, hidden in an ankle holster and up his sleeve. Features a 7 round single stack magazine, bio-metric trigger design and electronic firing mechanism similar to The Surgeon.

Alignment: Chaotic Good
Nationality: United Kingdom
Hometown: Castleton
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Kane is known for being foul mouthed and a smart ass. He's also known for being a giant asshole. He doesn't take most situations seriously, loves to push peoples buttons with childish and cruel jokes and thoroughly enjoys banter and will always love it when people start making the same kinds of jokes towards him. Name calling and taunting are some of the things he's near enough mastered being able to drum them out at a staggering rate that can take one back a bit. He's also materialistic and likely won't do anything for anyone unless he's getting something out of it. He does however know when to be polite when needed and despite his massive personality flaws he's got a strong sense of right and wrong and will call people out for going overboard with a joke, bully someone or be a general menace to society.

Motivation: Despite seemingly being an asshole, Kane's passion is to improve the world and make a better place for humanity to exist. And if becoming a hero and stopping those who would destroy it helps with that, then so be it.

Biography: Kane was born in 2001 to a human father, Andrew Davidson and a metahuman mother, Evelyn Davidson. His mother has greatly enhanced intelligence just like Kane himself and owned a relatively small but successful business that dealt with building and repairing specialised construction and mining equipment that the local quarry used frequently. Because of all this him and his family lived a very cosy life in the countryside town of Castleton and tended to help his mother out in the workshop or sometimes help his father in the local pub they ran. He was highly interested in mechanics and later on in school discovered his interest in chemistry which made his parents confident he would grow up to be a scientist or engineer of sorts. That was up until the day his father suffered a stroke, he was 18 at the time. He didn't even get to see his father one last time before he died in hospital, however, he wouldn't be the one so badly affected by his death.

His mother had a mental breakdown at the news of her husbands death and isolated herself in her room for days, only coming out when he was asleep to eat and drink. The day later came that Kane awoke to find his mother's room unlocked and her not in there. He reasoned that she'd finally decided to come out but his assumptions were shot down when he found a note on her bed telling Kane that she couldn't stay anymore, that she was too broken to be around him and that she had left the country to fix herself. Kane was angry and heartbroken. Not only had his father died but he felt that his mother had abandoned him too and it wasn't even a month when Kane sold off the family's pub and and company where he lived off of the resulting money and doing odd jobs. It wasn't long however till Kane started to break into different markets, finding his place in the civilian firearms market and eventually expanding it across the medical, engineering and even the military market place. Kane found himself running a large business at age 20 and shortly after, found himself in the hands of the Young Guardians.

JENNIFER JANE DOE


Name: Jennifer Jane Doe
Nickname/Alias: Dough Girl
Appearance:
Image

Gender: Female
Age: 20
Build: tall (5'11"), lean, and somewhat muscular
Faction: Young Guardians
Power Classification: Genetic

Description of Powers:
Unbreakable Bones: Jenny's bones could withstand under immense stress and physical force. It would take heavier weaponry to cause cracks open her bones.
Diamond Skin: Like her bones, Jenny has unusually resilient skin that is impervious to any physical harm or damage. Bullets, blades, and explosives just seem to bounce off of her as if they were made of Styrofoam.
Weaknesses:
- Just because her bones are near-indestructable doesn't mean she is invulnerable. A well-place strike with a small enough weapon between the ribs can still damage her internal organs.
- Other than the fact that blunt weapons would have little effect on her, poison is still viable as a method to dispose her.
- Acid can do damage to her skin though it depends how concentrated the formula is.
- Apply enough blunt force and her internals organs can risk rupture while her skin and skeleton remain unscathed.
Equipment:
bullet-proof helmet, utility vest, frag grenades, Bazooka, rockets, drum mags, a modern Tommy gun, Bowie knife, and frying pan
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Nationality: Scottish-American
Hometown: Born in the Doe family estate in in the Midwest
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: The attack dog of her team. Fierce, violent, and loyal to the bitter end; she would never abandon her friends and comrades even when facing total defeat. Jenny would fight and shoot until there was nothing left to fight and shoot. She would never surrender even if she was outnumbered 1,000 to 1.
Motivation: Out of patriotism and loyalty of her of country even though she is considered an idiotic extremist by more moderate heads.

Biography: Jennifer Jane Doe was born with traits inherited from her Scottish mother: red hair, blue eyes, and her unwavering attitude towards life. As such, she was the most stressful one to raise to adulthood. Luckily, her father was never a serious type and happily played with Jenny from the morning up to the sun setting down. When her mother gave birth to 6 more daughters, he unfortunately had to take care of Jenny and her sisters.

Exhausted from the baby-sitting, Jenny's grandfather was called by the dad to help take care of the kids. Since Jenny was the eldest sibling by a couple years, her dad figured it was easier for the grandfather to care for her. Since the grandfather was a WW2, Korean, and Vietnam War veteran, she was getting the best protection possible for her father's eyes.

It was all fine and dandy until Jenny's grandfather accidentally got her bitten in the head by a grizzly bear when she was nine.
Ever since that incident, her grandfather took Jenny to even more dangerous expeditions without her father knowing. Mountain-climbing, bear-wrestling, target-shooting was done in secret over the years until her father found out when Jenny came home in rags with a body of bobcat that she strangled with her bare hands. She immediately told him that granddad took her out hunting and that this was her first kill. She was 12 when the truth was unveiled.

It from that point on that Jenny was not allowed to do anything dangerously stupid...without him watching. Jenny's father would find himself cheering her on as she tackle a snake, grapple a fish, or punching down a tree. When she reached 16, her father sent her to learn karate so she can fight more organized and not messy. Due to her powers, she was not allowed to participate in tournaments against other humans. It took four long years to reach black belt as Jenny struggled to stay calm and focus on the lessons that she had to learn.

In the meantime, her grandfather was allowed Jenny to figure out how to rocket jump using his bazooka that he used back when he was a US soldier. She was a natural at the rocket jumping and quickly learned how to be nimble and aim mid-flight. But soon enough, Jenny decided to join the Young Guardians to fight crime and to be an American hero. Since there was no way convincing someone like Jenny to stay, the family had to accept. With a heavy heart while all of her sisters watching, her dad waved goodbye the next day knowing full well that Jenny is going to nail some idiots with the weapons and the knowledge that she has.

JENNIFER JANE DOE


Name: Jennifer Jane Doe
Nickname/Alias: Brooding Jenny
Appearance:
Image

Gender: Female
Age: 20
Build: tall (5'11"), lean, and somewhat muscular
Faction: Young Guardians
Power Classification: Genetic

Description of Powers:
Unbreakable Bones: Jennifer's bones could withstand under immense stress and physical force. It would take heavier weaponry to cause cracks open her bones.
Diamond Skin: Like her bones, Jenny has unusually resilient skin that is impervious to any physical harm or damage. Bullets, blades, and explosives just seem to bounce off of her as if they were made of Styrofoam.

- Acid can do damage to her skin though it depends how concentrated the formula is.
- Apply enough blunt force and her internals organs can risk rupture while her skin and skeleton remain unscathed.
Equipment: bullet-proof helmet, utility vest, frag grenades, rocket launcher, rockets, M14, a war hammer
Alignment: Neutral Good
Nationality: Scottish-American
Hometown: Born in the Doe family estate in in the Midwest
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Since Jenny is the guard dog, that makes Jennifer the sentry cat. Quiet, thoughtful, and always listening, she keeps a watchful eye on her surroundings to prevent being ambushed. Of course, Jennifer's stone face and cold red eyes hide her true emotions of her protective love over her siblings and parents.
Motivation: There to make sure Jenny doesn't come home in multiple pieces and in a body bag.

Biography: There's a reason why Jenny didn't tell most people she met that she has a twin sister; mainly because that Brooding Jenny didn't want to make herself known to strangers. Jennifer was born at the same time as Jenny, live in the same house under the Soldier, and trained under the same methods. They even share the same names because grandpa wasn't even able to distinguish between the two. "Jennifer do this; other Jennifer do that; who's the real Jennifer? etc" But wherever Jenny went, Jennifer followed.

Jennifer realized she has power of being near immune to damage when she accidentally slip on a log and gave it a nasty cut on its side while her skin barely had a mark. It was a coincidence that Jenny got her powers too on the same day.

That is until Jenny left for the Young Guardians but Jennifer couldn't because someone has to take care of grandpa. It was nearly a year of furiously making sure that her grandfather and mentor doesn't kill himself in one shenanigan or another. Everything, she has to do for him: from cooking to cleaning to even helping him go to the bathroom.

What prevented Jennifer from ditching her grandfather completely was that whenever chores are finished, grandpa would take her outside for training. Jennifer enjoys taking out her frustration and insecurities on trees, wildlife, and training dummies. To her surprise, grandpa blessed Jennifer's rocket launcher and M14 and told her to go join the Young Guardians and to "make sure your sister comes home a hero and not in a casket".

JANE DOE SISTERS


Names: Fiona, Flora, Rhona, Lachina, Davina, Jean, and Ann Jane Doe
Nickname/Alias: (If Applicable)
Appearance: [
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Gender: All girls
Age: 16 - 18
Build: varies
Faction: Pro-Jenny

Power Classification: N/A
Description of Powers: N/A

Equipment: N/A

Personality:
Fiona likes to force Jenny spend her time reading books, a reason why Jenny enjoys bedtime stories
Flora's shy nature towards strangers might've made Jenny the loud, outspoken person she is
Rhona secretly encourages Jenny to attend College, might explain why she gets along well with intellectuals
Lachina expresses her emotions through touch and music, a probable cause on why Jenny likes to snuggle and sing lullabies
Davina enjoys doing art and sports with Jenny, an explanation on why Jenny is good at games like chess and arm-wrestling
Jean is the second oldest sister in the family, could explain why Jenny cares so much for her teammates and eager to help them out
Ann is the snarky, rebel sister who plays games and talk about cute boys, a reason why Jenny owns a number of nighttime dresses and sexy clothing
Biography:
While Jenny is off doing whatever crazy stunts with grandpa and Brooding Jenny, the sisters were driving their dad to a point of exhaustion. Managing Jenny alone was taxing on his strength but seven daughters with different needs? It's just as tiring if not more tiring than caring for Jenny. Nobody would expect any of them to relate to Jenny due to their calm lifestyle. Only things that would remind a person of Jenny are their musical talents and their prowess in self-defense. They're all single like Jenny since their dad, despite the years of age, can still put up an intimidating presence to whatever suitor looking in their direction. Despite all the contrast between them and Jennifer, they still support the eldest sister in all her endeavors out of the love and admiration they have for her. While Jenny is off at the Syndicate, they would regularly call her to hear about her experiences.

SOPHIA ANYA RYKOVA


Name: Sophia Anya Rykova
Nickname/Alias: Euclid
Appearance:
Image

Gender: Female
Age: 19
Build: 5' 0", 42kg
Faction: Young Guardians (Group A)
Power Classification: Genetic

Description of Powers: Sophia makes what she refers to as 'bubbles'; patches of distorted space that do not follow the laws of Euclidean physics or indeed any laws of physics, where direction and distance within them is entirely determined by Sophia's will. These bubbles are capable of occupying a total area of twenty five cubic feet, spread out across any number of bubbles, and last for a maximum time of one hour.

Weaknesses: Sophia's bubbles can only be summoned within line of sight of her, and cannot be summoned in a location occupied by anything biological be it plant or animal. In addition, Sophia is a cripple; she is missing all bar two of her toes along with both of her thumbs, which makes walking difficult, running even harder, fighting with weapons all but impossible and even simple, everyday things like opening some doors or cupboards can be a bit of a hassle for her.

Equipment: N/A

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Nationality: Russian
Hometown: Norilsk
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Sophia comes across as quiet, but she isn't shy; rather, she prefers not to say much so those words she does say have more value. She'll snark and she'll bitch and swear when she does talk, she's as stubborn as they come and can be deeply unhelpful, viewing the world and life as a system of contracts almost with only a few particular but highly notable and extremely important exceptions. Generally rather wary of people and she absolutely despises pity, both being shown it or anyone who gives it.
Motivation: Sophia just wants to keep living and to be free and happy and have friends. It's not much.

Biography: Sophia was born in the Siberian city of Norilsk along with her twin brother, both with white hair and both with powers, although they didn't know it. Their parents barely paid any attention to them at best and beat them at worst, both being alcoholics, in debt and their father constantly on the verge on getting fired.

They survived though, because they had each other. Even as siblings they were very close, practically inseparable, running off whenever possible, constantly trying to sleep at friend's houses or anywhere bar their own, waiting until they could just run away. They became pickpockets and small-time thieves, gathering up money and just waiting until they were old enough to run away from home, hitching a ride on the railway to Dudinka.

Only Sophia survived the journey. Her brother froze to death as they huddled together for warmth, and Sophia herself lost almost all of her fingers and toes to frostbite, only narrowly avoiding losing her hands or limbs or dying to hypothermia. She spent a few months on the streets of Dudinka, freezing cold and almost perishing once again several times. She managed to smuggle herself onto a ship from Dudinka to Murmansk, and from Murmansk she gathered enough money in several robberies to buy plane tickets to Moscow and then to Mexico to get to the US, a mythical 'promised land' that she remembered her parents talking about.

She arrived in Mexico City broke, but it was warm, and she spent several more months crossing Mexico and the US until she showed up at the doorstep of the Guardians building in tattered clothes, showing her power and simply asking for a place. She did not take to life in the first group of the Young Guardians well. Her English was bad and heavily accented at the best of times, so she had few friends in the team, and was largely sidelined owing to her poor English and thus poor coordination with the rest of the team. She was barely ever seen at social events, with no social media presence at all and Sophia began to suspect that she was being kept in little more than a gilded cage, not useful to the Guardians but not someone they could imprison either. So, unsure what to do, wanting to leave but not wanting to be alone and abandon those very few friends she had on the team, she waited for her hand to be forced one way or the other.

JACOB PHILANDER


Name: Jacob Philander
Nickname/Alias: Smog
Appearance: Auburn eyes, blond hair, tired look, average teen (transformed)
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Build: 168cm, 61kg, skinny
Faction: Young Guardians
Power Classification: External

Description of Powers:

Transformation -
  • Activated by placing his hand over the gem, embedded in his chest, for 10 seconds.
  • Height increased to 230cm tall, covered in spiky leather/metallic armour (bullet resistant to 9mm).
  • Capable of lifting upwards of 4-5 tonnes.
  • Reverting doesn't affect previous equipment, and neither brings over damage during transformation.
  • Traverse speed greatly reduced (can only walk/leap).
  • Smog-like form prevents damage from most physical attacks (i.e. knives, bullets, fists, shrapnel), however, Jacob's attacks are also unable to deal damage.
  • A smokey longsword appears along with the transformation (can slice through arm-width stone), but also unable to deal damage in smog form.

Weaknesses:
  • Once activated, form cannot be reversed for 12 hours.
  • While transformed, Jacob cannot sense foreign magic as his own smothers him.
  • Jacob's transformation brings an unnatural aura with it, making others uncomfortable.
  • Mind, magic, and strong electrical attacks are very effective, especially while in smog form, and could knock Jacob unconscious.
  • Jacob loses the ability to speak coherently while transformed.
  • Jacob must become tangible in order to attack with or without his sword, allowing regular physical attacks to deal damage during that time.
  • After the transformation ends, Jacob is left feeling very weak and ill for 30 minutes.
  • Removing the gem in Jacobs chest would remove his ability to transform, but it would also kill him since it seems to have replaced his heart.

Equipment: A fist-sized ruby gem imbedded in Jacob's chest, Armour (transformed), Sword (transformed), regular clothing, smartphone.

Alignment: Lawful Good
Nationality: Antarctica
Hometown: Qaarsut
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Personality: Jacob lacks good social skills due to fear of lashing out, believing it would be best if people stay away from him. Jacob spends a lot of his time researching the occult, and enjoys geology as well. Striking up a conversation with Jacob is easy, but he will always seem slightly distracted. Jacob holds telepaths in high regard, mostly because he can converse with them while transformed.

Motivation: To better understand his ability, and to gain greater control over it. Possibly even use it to help people.

Biography: Jacob Philander was born to American parents who brought him along to Antarctica at the age of 12, where he spent 4 years of his life being homeschooled before the incident. His parents worked in a surprisingly comfortable research station within the frozen wasteland, along with several other individuals. During an expedition to establish the groundworks for a new building, Jacob's father discovered a deep, perfectly rounded hole leading to a small room. Within was a large, icy door; covered in indecipherable carvings. Jacob snuck out that night to see the door, bored out of his mind, going so far as to push it open. One week later, a rescue team was sent out to check up on a research station that stopped responding, only to discover the mangled bodies of several researchers and a comatose Jacob in the destroyed dining room. Jacob was quickly evacuated to an American hospital, where he suddenly awoke, activating his ability by mistake. Fortunately nobody was hurt, and Jacob was peacefully locked in quarantine until a telepath was brought in to communicate. Jacob explained that he couldn't remember anything from the last 3 weeks, and that he couldn't speak. 2 months later Jacob was picked up by the Young Guardians program, with the promise of teaching him how to better use his powers.

You can't just have all of those physical advantages and say the transformed form makes him immune to most physical attacks.

Antonio Marco


Name: Antonio Marco
Nickname/Alias: Octo
Appearance: short brown hair, slim nose, face of unsurprisingly Italian descent
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Build: 1.76 meters tall, 62 kg
Faction: Young Guardians
Power Classification: Genetic
Description of Powers:

Complete Concealment
He can basically vanish into thin air for others but really his skin is just working as one of an octopus allowing him to be able to sneak up on most people

Weaknesses: He's just a human just with this one little addition, a well-placed swing or a stab with something sharp or a bullet will kill him
Equipment: Hunting Knife and a Revolver ( not specifying what brand or caliber but let's say a Magnum 44. )
Alignment: True Good
Nationality: Italian
[Hometown: Sicily, Catania 
b]Sexuality:[/b] Heterosexual
Personality: A little bit rough but has a " heart of gold " underneath the rough portion of his personality
Motivation: Wanting to do good                                          Biography: ( If any Mafia boss is reading this, which I highly doubt, please don't kill me )
Born to a Mafia involved family ( why would I choose Sicily as his birthplace otherwise ) his father tried to get him into the family business but he objected wanting to do something better in life than just running a small crime organization plus he did not want to get onto the crosshairs of Guardians, his father surprisingly even to him said that it was okay as it was Antonio's personal choice, he got involved with charity and other such noble stuff but that is not important so I'll skip revealing of his powers when a rivaling Mafia tried to kill him for retaliation, after he heard shots fired at him he ran off, and that was the moment his power activated, the attackers couldn't find him and over the course of months he learned how to control his power

After he learned how to control his power he set off to do heroic actions such as saving innocent victims from all Sicilian mafia's, this obviously didn't sit well with the bosses so the natural reaction was to eliminate the threat, well they tried, turns out being able to camouflage to such extent as changing texture of body is pretty good camouflage ( and now a twist ), about his shenanigans no policeman really cared that much as well there wasn't that many that wanted to stop him, why you may ask, this was Sicily after all, so he got under the radar of Guardians and soon enough he got enlisted ( at his own will of course ) into Young Guardians program.

Well, for a start, can you fix the formatting, the power name shouldn't be bolded, the bolding on sexuality is broken and the bio starts on the wrong line.

We already have someone with almost that exact power, his bio doesn't really make much sense nor does it need any of the comments in brackets in it as they're pointless. If someone doesn't want to go into the mafia, then they're excluded from it and shut out; most of the time they wouldn't even be aware their family was part of the mafia.

Generally it doesn't really work with how you've put it all.

Well, I tried to fix the formatting but with the amount of these problems I guess the app was a broken concept from the start, well ONTO THE PLANNING BOARD

The RP looks interesting, I’m thinking of applying. The power I’m considering for my character is an external one, centred around an enchanted notebook, that can summon something when a description is written of it (example: “A green scaly dragon with foot long fangs, massive wings and fire breath” being written in the notebook will summon a dragon.) Obviously I will be adding weaknesses to it, but does the main concept hold up? Has anyone taken it, is it too OP, etc.

The concept works if it's limited.

I mean, if there's no limits, you could just summon a tactical nuke or Cthulhu or something else OP and win every time.

Basically, it needs an upper limit on what can be created.

Just with more, modern day clothing, like a dark blouse and gray sweetpants
                                Gender: Male
                                Age: 19
                                Build: 1.76 meters tall, 62 kg
                                Faction: Young Guardians
                                Power Classification: Magic

                                Description of Powers:

-Rock Manipulation-
He is able to manipulate dirt and rocks into many things such as a burst of rock make spikes out of the ground or lifting and throwing rocks at speeds with 40 kph, or to make a shield out ( you guessed it ) rocks

                                Weaknesses:
He is very much incompetent at the whole heroism thing and complicates most if not all cases, also his powers sometimes just won't work

                                Equipment: If anybody comes to close he always has his trusty short sword although he can't use it well

                                Alignment: Chaotic Good
                                Nationality: Greek

                                Motivation: Strive for knowledge that helps him be a better hero                              
 
                                Biography:
Born in Greece he was an absolute fan of history and books and other such things, during a trip to one of the numerous ruins in Greece he found a really old book the title of which was indecipherable, he decided to read the book ( for some reasons I don't see ) and learned from it that it was written about the year 500 by what the author called himself "The Last Worshipper of Gods", many pages were unreadable or written in too strange ways but he found some pages that were readable and deciphered from it that they were some kind of spells including the use of rocks so Aegus did the strangest thing possible and decided to learn those spells.

After he had a knowledge of what he should do or what the spells he decided to become a hero although not knowing how to be one, his first action was a mugging near his home city where he injured the mugger and scared the living heck out of the person he was supposed to save he surrendered himself to the police where he explained everything about the book, the powers, and everything else, the police did not believe him and because of it called an investigation, the investigation confirmed Aegus's confession, the police thinking that it sounded like something for Guardians they called in a member of them, member being very compassionate understand Aegus and offered him two options, 1. Rot in Greek Jail or 2. Join Young Guardians, Aegus understandably chose the second option
