Heroes of Tomorrow Redux [DONE]

[Oldeaweth]

VIVIAN OCTAVIA KNIGHT

Name: Vivian Octavia Knight
Nickname/Alias: Medusa
Appearance:

Gender: Female
Age: 19
Build: 170 cm, 56 kg
Faction: Young Guardians
Power Classification: Genetic

Description of Powers:

Body Manipulation: Vivian has complete control over her anatomy, including skin, nails, fat, muscles, blood, nerves, etc., allowing her to freely alter and manipulate them. She can grow additional appendages and body-parts, remove them or otherwise manipulate body, on visible, chemical and cellular levels. What she can do is determined by her current mass and what she has absorbed into herself at the time.

Carrion Regeneration/ Absorption: Vivian can regenerate wounds by absorbing /eating dead/decaying animal matter, directly transforming it into her own mass. She can also absorb /eat excess biomass into herself allowing her to empower her Body manipulation abilities and regenerate herself passively.

Carrion Feeder: Vivian is resistant to most foodborne illnesses and immune to Prion diseases. She can also gain all the nutrients she needs for a day by absorbing or eating raw meat.

Enhanced Strength: Vivian can lift ~225kg of weight at maximum and can throw this into her melee attacks.

Enhanced Smell: She has an above average sense of smell.

Weaknesses:

Fire: Vivian has been found to be relatively flammable, more than normal humans and this quickly eats her regeneration away as her body repairs the damaged skin only to be set on fire.

Carrion Feeder: Vivian has a seemingly insatiable hunger for flesh, primarily human in nature. Cooked meals and plants tend to make her sick (nausea, cramping, etc) and provide little nutrition for her. Raw animal meat sates her desire but the usage of her powers, active and passive, make her hungrier and thus make her crave yet more meat. If she goes without eating for too long she can become overtaken with an irrational hunger clouding her judgment with her craving for flesh.

Equipment: N/A

Alignment: Neutral Good
Nationality: American
Hometown: Charlotte, N.C.
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Vivian very rarely thinks before she acts, relying mostly on her instincts for her decision making in all aspects of her life.
Motivation: To protect people from threats like the Swarm.

Biography: Vivian's mother died during the Swarm war, her Father nearly did as well, only barely making it out of the city alive with her. Vivian's Father took them to the wilderness of Appalachia where they lived for the next ten years, waiting for the fallout of the Swarm war to pass. Being in the wilderness for most of her life Vivian and her Father found her powers fairly quickly, between Vivian eating several instances of random dead animals in the woods and growing a small bone claw on her hand she began to learn about her abilities.
They eventually returned to Charlotte where Vivian was entered into public school while her Father got a job in construction. Vivian struggled in school as she was far behind in science, math, and reading although her Father had done his best to teach her on his own, bad at it as he was, she caught up with her classmates if not lagged behind them a little. After her high-school graduation, she went to college for a year before dropping out and left home to join the Young Guardians, keeping her powers secret until she signed up.

She's back. Jess is getting re apped as a mercenary before arc 3 to reflect faction changes.

JESSAMYN EASTON-ROUX

Name: Jessamyn Easton-Roux
Nickname/Alias: Jess / Heartbreaker
Appearance:

Gender: Female
Age: 21
Build: 5'7, 129 lbs
Faction: Mercenary
Power Classification: Genetic

Description of Powers: Jess is able to harness emotional energy and manifest it physically. This can be from herself or others, but it's quicker in the heat of the moment to use her own energy and is therefore more effective. Of course, the requirement here is that Jess is feeling emotion. Stronger ones are better. Fear. Anger. Sadness. Euphoria. Emotions like these charge up the proverbial meter quickly, while more mundane or less intense emotions take a slower time to charge it. Once charged, Jess can manipulate the energy in the same way that a dynakinetic would be able to. The energy tends to be a great anti material weapon, with explosive properties. It can additionally be hardened into a defensive weapon, a shield.

Weaknesses: Jess' power depends on the emotions of herself and others and she can find herself without energy when she needs it, depending on how she's feeling. She's also prone to being behind others in the defensive department and relying too heavily on an aggressive fighting style which leaves her without much in the way of defense.

Equipment: Situational loadouts consisting of either two kukri blades for close combat, or throwing knives and a micro Draco pistol for ranged fighting.

Alignment: Neutral Evil
Nationality: American
Hometown: New York City
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Jess has the bloodline of heroes but she isn't a hero. Despite her family, she's very much a hedonistic opportunist who is out for her own ends, deciding that if the world around her didn't offer her much in exchange for following their rules and expectations, she'd go out on her own and make her own path. And because of that, she follows no code but her own, and typically does what would better her position. But that's not to say that she's evil per say. It's more that she puts her enjoyment first, and bases her behavior and philosophy over what would give her the biggest net gain. For those who do stick around her and value her, she generally returns the favor and is loyal to the few who have earned her respect and trust.

Motivation: To make it big away from her family... And not as a hero.

Biography: Lights. Cameras. Plenty of adoring fans. Jessamyn Easton-Roux grew up around all of it because of her famous parents, Ainsley Easton and Nathanael Roux. Their faces were everywhere. On sponsored advertisements, billboards, wherever. Few people were able to travel around during their early years as Jessamyn and her two siblings, who were taken from New York to Toronto to London and back on a regular basis. Some of the more famous names in the Guardians were hardly out of the ordinary for them, because the Easton-Roux siblings had been to the Guardians Building and had met them personally on a number of times. They were just the faces that they had grown up with. And growing up in an environment like that, it was natural that all of them wanted that life for themselves. They had seen how good it was to be one of the top heroes. There was pressure, too. Such a prestigious family had a legacy behind it.

Jess wanted the life that her parents had, but unfortunately, she found herself out of their focus. Her sister was the one that had the more marketable personality, that was better with people and less abrasive, and it didn't help Jess that Mari had better control of her power and showed more promise to become a top hero. She was the one that received more of the attention and training and that extended into their personal lives, with their parents spending more and more time training Mari and rewarding her for her efforts. Jess was on the outside looking in. Her more rough around the edges style of doing things didn't help her in becoming a hero, and while she went through the same training that her sister did, she never seemed to come out ahead. It was always Mari that benefited. Jess drifted apart from Mari in their teenage years and the two of them never got along. There was vitriol once Jess had drifted away, and somehow, all it did was hurt Jess in her goals while making Mari out to look like the victim. The one to be sympathized with.

By the time both of the girls were getting experience being heroes in the real world, Jess had pretty much had enough. She went to Monaco to join the Gamblers, a young regional team, and would remain there for awhile until the point where she was lured back to her hometown of New York with an offer, to move up and return to the Guardians while joining their new training program. She did come back, but not like most people expected. A bit more jaded, and more disconnected from her family now, Jess would come back to New York City with a burning hate in her heart and a determination to do whatever she'd need to do to right the past. She had become the most dangerous type of person, the kind that believed they had nothing to lose.

She had the chance to make things right, however, when the Guardians sent her and Mari on a mission to China, which should have been fairly routine. They were doing security work, but Jess planted a microphone and a flash drive in Mari's bag which made her appear to be a spy, playing right into the hands of the Metahuman Affairs Bureau, which was looking to catch one of the Guardians... Well, doing anything wrong. They knew that Jess had planted it, it was somewhat obvious once interrogations began, but the MAB ran with it and humiliated Mari in front of the world, forcing a confession out of her after breaking her down through mental torture. Following the false admission that greatly hurt her reputation, Mari was sent back to the Guardians in Angel's Village. Jess, meanwhile, finished the botched mission in Shanghai and came out alive, and having saved the life of fellow hero Gabriella Bianchi-Costa.

After returning to Angel's Village, Jess told Gabriella of her plans, knowing that Gabriella was also unhappy with the way the Guardians' incompetence had nearly gotten them killed. She intended to finish off Mari, and leave the Guardians altogether to live the life of a mercenary. After all, the few weeks in New York had shown her that being a hero really wasn't for her, and she had the best chance of her life... So she went along with it. Jess gunned down Mari in the night and left a sign signaling that it was her crime and not anyone else's, and she and Gabriella left Angel's Village immediately after, heading to Dubai to find work as mercenaries. It was a tougher life, but one with more rewards, and a lot more freedom.

Really, Jess was in her element for the first time after making the move. Even if she did give up what little hopes she'd had of becoming anything like the hero her family wanted her to be.

Miami, Florida

[Forest State]

Looks like we have three votes for Miami and four for Italy. I won't call the voting just yet, I'll see where this goes and if anyone else votes.

In other news, with the Lex Reges mission concluding in a few posts, I thought I'd put together an FAQ explaining what happened since this was quite in depth in terms of story content. And if you misunderstand what happened here, you're likely to misunderstand things going forward in the RP.

---

Lex Reges: In Review

Lex Reges was the most important event for the story that the RP had so far, but as it took place over the course of one interlude and one time skip, featured a number of background elements coming into play that were mentioned in other parts of the IC indirectly, and characters who were at times thousands of miles apart during the arc. That is to say, there was a lot going on, and the point of this FAQ is to go over anything that might be asked or might have been missed when the arc happened. After all, we'll be referring back to these characters in other story events in the future.

Who is Soli Vanhanen Amori?

Soli Vanhanen Amori, also known as Prodigy or Soli Vanhanen, is a member of the Young Guardians Program who was brought into the organization at sixteen because of her ability to control Rift magic, which is extremely rare. She also showed a generally high aptitude, and had received training from her adoptive mother, an assassin known as Shaitan, until she was sent off during her teenage years to a boarding school in England to further her skill with magic. However, Soli turned out to have more importance than she ever imagined herself having.

What is the Amori clan?

The Amori clan is Soli's birth family, which is very powerful in their society, the Order of the Golden Rose. Soli was cast off from this family at birth to avoid problems arising in the future if there was competition between her and her stronger twin, Cori, who was meant to be the heir of the family. The clan was once the most powerful within the Order of the Golden Rose, but the passage of time weakened their claim on its leadership until the rise of Cori Amori.

What is the Order of the Golden Rose?

The Order of the Golden Rose is an extremely secretive organization of metahumans, of which its members are considered to be separate from the outside world. Members refer to those within the organization as being in "our world" and those on the outside as being in the "outside world". The organization also closely follows the ideology of "move from the shadows." That is, they maintain secrecy and do not reveal their existence to the people of the outside world, or the vast majority of mankind. Rather, the Order acts through proxy organizations. They used the Bengal Consortium, for example, to kidnap Soli. The Order also manipulates Astra, a large conglomerate which in turn controls various other factions such as the villain group known as the New Order.

The thing that distinguishes the Order from the rest of the world is the fact that their members can typically use Rift magic, which might just be the rarest branch of magic based powers. The people who make up the organization and use Rift magic are referred to as First Ones and have naturally pink eyes, the same color as their Rift magic. However, this shade of eye color is almost always masked using magic, to more regular colors. Why are they called the First Ones? That's just something we'll have to find out later.

The upper echelon of the Order is made up of a number of powerful families and a number of electors vote periodically for a leader, out of candidates from these families. The exact process has not been revealed yet, but Cori Amori is the current leader.

What is Rift magic?

All magic is based on drawing power from the Otherworld, directly or indirectly. Someone might gain power from this realm to heal, or another mage might transfer energy from this realm more directly to create lightning. However, there exists another realm between ours and the Otherworld, which connects the two. The Rift. Much more dangerous, and filled with more dangerous anomalies and destructive energy, the Rift can be a powerful force in the right hands. The power of the people known as the First Ones is their ability to manipulate this energy to their own ends. That is what a Rift mage is, and this kind of magic has tremendous creative and destructive ability.

Most members of the Order of the Golden Rose are Rift mages of some kind.

Why was Soli kidnapped by the Order?

Soli was kidnapped by the Order of the Golden Rose, using the Bengal Consortium as a proxy, because she picked up unwanted attention by joining the Young Guardians with her powers, and her unmasked pink eyes. Her sister, the leader of the Order, wanted her for multiple reasons. First, Soli has the potential to become incredibly dangerous and to become her sister's antithesis. Because of this, Cori aimed to secure her loyalty through force, before that could happen. Second, Cori aimed to secure Soli's loyalty to use her as a weapon for future plans, because of her vast potential. While Soli doesn't know it yet, she could effectively become a human WMD with the right training. Training that only her clan can provide. Third, Cori believed that Soli was betraying the family by getting involved in the affairs of the outside world, and by exposing Rift magic to the world.

Why did Cori torture Soli?

Cori aimed to gain Soli's loyalty by force, so her threat to future plans would be neutralized and so she could be used as a human superweapon in the future. When Soli showed a stubborn attitude, Cori ordered her tortured, which was partly a punishment for Soli betraying her bloodline by turning down the initial offer to rejoin the family.

Who is Cori Amori?

Cori is not just Soli's sister, but the leader of the Order of the Golden Rose, and a young leader at that, as someone in her twenties. She's known to be the most ambitious leader the Order has had in ages, throwing caution to the wind in some cases in favor of making aggressive moves to help meet the goals of the organization. Personality wise, Cori is completely committed to her family and goals to an extreme extent, with her main goal in life being the completion of the work that they started centuries ago.

What are Cori's goals?

It has not been revealed yet what exactly the Order of the Golden Rose wants. However, during arc two, they did contract the New Order to steal high grade Swarm DNA from a secret DRMA facility in South Korea.

Why did Cori attack Chicago?

Cori created a Rift storm over Chicago as a way of showing Soli that she has the power to level a city, as well as convince her to switch sides by lashing out against innocents and warning Soli that similar things would happen, including to Soli's friends, if she continued to live and work with the outside world rather than her family and the Order.

Why did Cori choose Chicago and not New York/Washington?

According to Cori herself, those are future targets for when the Order switches from "limited war" to "total war".

Who was the mysterious stranger in the tunnel?

The mysterious stranger was Shaitan, the woman who deserted the Order of the Golden Rose to raise Soli in the outside world, sparing her from being killed at birth.

How much did Shaitan tell Soli?

Practically nothing. Shaitan kept Soli's heritage and the existence of the Order a secret in an attempt to protect her, which worked well enough until Soli joined the Guardians and brought a lot of attention to herself, revealing to the Order that she is indeed alive and a threat.

How did Cori and Soli talk when Soli was in Missouri and Cori was in Dubai?

Cori approached Soli with a magical projection and then transferred her into a pocket dimension of Cori's creation, while both of their physical bodies remained in the original locations. When Cori "killed" Soli in the pocket dimension, her mind returned to her real body in Missouri.

What's next?

That remains to be seen. After the Guardians successfully took back Soli, they'll soon learn of the existence of the Order of the Golden Rose. However, they still know extremely little about the organization. The ball is now in Cori's court to make the next move in this back and forth.

Heroes of Tomorrow visual novel?

Well, that'll be a thing eventually.

Feel free to try this demo and give feedback, although this one follows VFA-14 pilots during the upcoming Korean War event rather than the Guardians.

CRATOS CORPORATION

Name: Cratos Corporation
Approximate Member Count: 32,000 aprox.
Areas of Operation: Europe, the MIddle East, North Africa, North America

Goals: To continue pursing the bounds of automation, alternative energy resources, and robotics.
Leadership: Cratos is run by a Board of Directors headed by CEO and founder by the name of Adrian Drakos.
Biography: Established in the 1990's in Greece, Cratos Corporation began as a transportation company based out of Thessaloniki. They specialized in moving freight and were already experimenting in ways to move it cheaper, faster, and with cleaner technology. They were immensely successful, releasing the CC107 Hauler that would sell three hundred million units in North America and Europe in 1998. With the immense windfall of cash, Cratos expanded into exploring automation head on, launching over two dozen geo-orbital positioning satelites to begin developing a 'grid' for their automated units to rely upon.

The Swarm War saw Cratos expand exponentially. With the War erupting, there was suddenly a vast manpower shortage as millions of men and women volunteered to fight off the Swarm. Into this vacancy stepped in Cratos, developing the CCA2A "Hummingbird", the first automated freighter to enter mass production in 2006. They were quick to follow their first success with the CCAUD1 "Percy", the first robotic drone capable of rudimentary tasks in factories, and even a vastly more expensive civilian model, the AUD1b "Wilfred". While these machines were highly advanced, capable of rudimentary tasks, they lacked AI.

The latest models of their vehicles, the CCA9E "Mad Max", CCAUD5 Drone and the civilian equivalent, the AUD4C "Andrea", have done remarkably well. However, the Corporation is hoping to expand it's image and thus has reached out to metahumans to sponsor so these metahumans may represent them and expand their public image.

Recently, the Corporation has begun to make waves with sudden breakthroughs in nanotechnology being released to the world.

SHINKA MATSUMOTO

Name: Shinka Matsumoto
Nickname/Alias: Black Fox
Appearance:

(normal)
(in costume)

Gender: Female
Age: 19
Build: 1.7 Meters 45kg
Faction: Young Guardians
Power Classification: Artificial

Description of Powers: Infused with gene splicing and genetic experimentation she's posses some animal like traits along with other enhancements. For starters, animal traits include mostly those of a fox, with quick agility and speed, enhanced senses like vision and smell and reflexes. Other enhancements include enhanced strength and resistance. Non enhanced powers include martial arts training in hand-to-hand combat and various weapons like small blades or ninja stars but never firearms.

Weaknesses: Her powers only take her so far as she has to rely a great deal on training and the tech in her suit to help her out. If not careful her enhanced senses can be used against her to disorient and confuse her. Stubborn and insists on using her martial arts skills and assorted combat weapons but won't pick up a gun. Despite her usually calm personality she can also get rather stressed and let out her aggression in less than productive ways.

Equipment: her "Fox Suit", is composed of a light flex armor that won't protect her from heavy firearms or other more advanced tech but can resist most small cal weapons and blade attacks. Still it is light and enough stress and repeated blows can compromise the armor making her vulnerable. Carries along a small sword, or small blades, nunchaku and throwing stars. Claw Hammer - Two sharp spike like objects mounted onto her wrists or on her fists designed to break through metal. She rarely uses these in typical combat unless she has to break down a heavy suit of armor but even then it would require her to be up close and personal which is gonna be hard if someone is swatting or shooting at her.

Alignment: Lawful good
Nationality: Japanese/American
Hometown: Kyoto, Japan/New York City
Sexuality: Homosexual

Personality: Calm and quiet, a little more reserved.
Motivation: Wanting to do good and right by her family. Find her parents killer and finally avenge their death. (ooc: I do welcome anyone here who wants to to take this task up but otherwise I can fill this role myself)

Biography: Born and raised in Kyoto for most of her life, her father and mother both scientists for the Government though few had any idea what they really did their specialty was genetics. As a child she was often ill and weak and her parents used their specialty in genetics to try and help her. Their experiments in genetics helped but also had some unforeseen side-effects including altering her genetic makeup slightly to give her some animal like traits, the same traits she incorporates to her powers. But with her body better than ever she became more active. Because she was rather shy, she was bullied frequently, leading her father to hire a personal sensei to help train her to defend herself.

One evening when she was 14, her parents were working in a lab late into the night when they were gunned down and much of the data was stolen. Police blamed it on a robbery gone wrong but more likely it was a case of high stakes espionage. Shinka became increasingly withdrawn and also angry about her parents death but her sensei helped her along keeping her training at an aggressive pace. Over the next few years of living with her Sensei, Shinka often took to the streets wanting to fight any criminal she could, from petty pickpockets to Yakuza, she would target them all, hoping one day she'd run into the killers of her parents.

Fearing her self-destructive behavior would get her killed, her Sensei tracked down some living relatives in NYC and they agreed to take her in. At his request she agreed to move to New York to be with her aunt, uncle and cousin and she moved when she was 16. But still her quest to fight crime didn't end with her leaving Japan as now she took to the mean streets of New York to fight any thug she could find.

One chilled October evening, Shinka, whom had taken a job as a courier, accidentally stumbled upon a smuggling ring at the harbor, leading to a violent altercation. Only by luck she was dealing with a bunch of bumbling crooks who weren't very good at their job she found they were robbing tech from a corporation dealing in advanced technology. A company that had dealings with heroes in the past. Grateful and impressed by her skill the company boss let her have the suit on two conditions, one date with his daughter and that she join Young Guardians. While she was happy to date the daughter, she only begrudgingly joined with the group more wanting to continue her street vigilante ways.

Kallen Rossweiss (Light Spirit)

Name: Kallen Rossweiss
Nickname/Alias: White Comet
Appearance:

Gender: Female
Age: 21
Build: 5'5, 111 lbs
Faction: Young Guardians
Power Classification: Magic

Description of Powers:

• Magical Bullets: With the magic of the Light Spirit, Kallen's magical bullets prove to be non-lethal due to her distaste for killing unless she decides otherwise.
• Low level Flight: The wings on Kallen's back are a byproduct of her fusion with the Light Spirit. She can scale most buildings with ease and increase her speed to a solid 50mph. Very useful for crossing small gaps or moving from cover to cover, especially when needing to flank an enemy.
• Enhanced Strength: Against most average humans, a punch or kick from Kallen might be enough to shatter bones or break down a regular door with ease.
• Moderate Healing: The Light Spirit can heal minor to moderate wounds. Minor up to 5 times and moderate 2 times per day.

Weaknesses:

• Healing is a Pain: Healing Moderate wounds will leave Kallen exhausted and unable to fight for the next 20 minutes.
• Make the Voices Stop: The death or defeat of a Comrade, mass death, or being put under increased pressure will put Kallen's Light Spirit in a weakened state. She will be unable to use non-lethal bullets and her mental fortitude will decrease, resulting in slower reaction time and the inability to heal wounds for 24 hours. Should 3 allies be defeated or circumstances become extreme, see Kallen Rossweiss (Dark Spirit).
• Dark Magic: Excessive amounts of Magic brought upon by Dark Spirits will increase Kallen's exhaustion levels and stress immensely. It is unlikely she could last more than 5 minutes against a decently powerful Dark Spirit.

Equipment:

• Type 95-C Battlesuit: Able to resist most small arms fire. Ineffective against large calibers and explosions.
• Valkyrie Handguns: Weapon conduit for Kallen's magical bullets.

Alignment: Neutral Good
Nationality: Swedish
Hometown: Ystad
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Cheerful and yet somewhat of a dunce, Kallen often prioritizes the well being of her allies above herself, often volunteering for dangerous roles to keep others safe. She is an avid gamer and weeb in her spare time, electing to forgo more studious hobbies as she calls them 'lame' or 'for nerds'.
Motivation: To protect others so they do not have to experience the devastation her hometown did, and to protect the lives of other heroes so they might fight for a brighter tomorrow.

Biography: Kallen remembers every night what happened to her town. The villains marching down the street in her little unassuming town. The local punks with powers decided they'd had enough or something of the sort...it didn't really matter. She remembers her parents corpses being piled on top of one another and her tears streaming down her face as fires blazed outside and screams could still be heard. Why? They were supposed to go on a family trip to Stockholm to see grandmother tomorrow. It wasn't fair...she wanted them back, The voices told her she couldn't get them back, but they could help her punish the ones who took Mother and Father away. She was scared as the fires began to collapse other parts of the house. As she continued to cry, the voices continued to soothe her. One promised vengeance...the other justice. All she had to do was let one of them help her. Vengeance...Justice...she had no clue what the difference was in this moment, and all she wanted were the ones who took her family from her to be gone forever. She agreed to whatever terms these voices wanted. It didn't matter anymore.

It was all a blur after that. She remembers the yelling and the feeling of a neck cracking between her hands. She remembers the emptiness as she brought something into her world that struck absolute terror into those animals that wrought destruction on her home. There was no feeling as she obliterated the insects.

It wasn't until a year later that she returned to her senses in the middle of Northern Finland. The exact events of what occurred hard to grasp, but her remembrance of her parents death almost causing her to fly into a rage once more. She was calmed by the now dominant Light Spirit that made itself known to her, saying she had brought to justice those who had hurt her family. Oddly enough, it did nothing to fill the hole in her heart.

______________________

It took some getting used to, but five years later made for quite some time to heal and reflect on that day. She couldn't remember if Heroes had ever come to save her town, or if it was too sudden for them to react. She had taken matters into her own hands according to the Light Spirit, and in doing so she had believed she could prevent other disasters from happening elsewhere. Being a Solo Hero was problematic however, especially for one as young as her. Kallen, knowing she could not keep up with being a lone wanderer or vigilante, would decide to seek help from the program she heard from the internet...the Young Guardians they were called.
