Fears: Fears a total loss of the traditions and cultures from his time, more to be added

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: His sword and natural powers(?)
Powers :
• Body Supremacy: He simply put, has perfect control over nearly every aspect of his body, ranging from reflexes to even how his body reacts to poisons. He can amplify his physical attributes by pushing past his inherent limit, but at a cost. This power, is part of what is responsible for his sculpted physique and metabolism. He can use this to push past his limits, being able to move much faster, hit harder, carry more and the like, for a time. This renders him immune or resistant to most if not all powers which would try to mess with his body such as blood manipulation, biological manipulation and others along that vein.
  
  
• Supernatural Condition: In every physical aspect, he is vastly superior to normal humans, and even many Superhumans. This includes granting him immortality, and eternal youth, reverting his body back to its prime. He also remembers everything since the day he was cursed with this condition. Additionally he had gained the ability to sense danger and possible harm, to a slight degree. He has superior strength and reflexes, being able to easily react much faster than mundane humans and can lift more than the strongest weightlifter. He can consciously react to most outward stimuli within 50 miliseconds (though has at times reacted twice as fast at 25 Milliseconds) and has a general sustained top speed of 35 Miles per Hour, though has reached 40 MPH at times. He can reliably manage a ton of weight in the literal sense though when pushed he can move up to 5.
  
  
• Healing Factor: He heals faster than normal humans from wounds of all kinds. Small cuts can heal near instantly, small caliber bullet wounds heal in a couple weeks to day(s), depending upon the damage, larger caliber rounds can heal within months, depending upon the area hit and the damage. He can heal from broken bones within a week to a year, depending upon the bone hit and how damaged. While he cannot fully regrow limbs or organs, because of his body supremacy, he can loosely control and direct his healing to temporarily increase its potency in that area. Magical wounds heal slower, and self inflicted wounds heal instantly, but just those wounds.
  
  
• Onymodo: Over the years Nobu has picked up the art of Onmyodo and makes use of it. Through Onmyodo he has gained the ability to detect magic and see the nature of supernatural beings to a certain degree. He mainly makes use of paper charms and through these charms can do a variety of things, the magic of the charms only lasts a week after the charm is complete. After a charm is made it takes two days for the magic to properly adhere to the charm and he can only have a dozen charms at any given time or the magic fades from them all. With the charms he can launch fire balls or other equivalent elemental attacks, but they are not strong.
  
  Additionally he can make charms which can exorcise or eject spiritual beings from people it is placed on or an area it is placed in. Through sealing charms he can seal various things temporarily, ranging from senses to the usage of magic, the more charms used the stronger the affect it, but it can be resisted by superhumans and magic users depending. He can summon shinigami of various forms using special charms which take longer to prepare. Other types of Charms include ones used for divination and tracking.
  
Abilities]
• 
  
• Combat Training: Over the centuries Nobuatsu has honed his combat skills to an extreme. While alone they would just be impressive techniques when used with Nobuatsu's enhanced physical abilities they are more than most normal humans can deal with. Throughout his centuries he has picked up and integrated many fighting styles and ways of combat into his repertoire, these range from mundane martial arts to assassination technique even some acupressure and acupuncture styles. Additionally he has a wide variety of combat related knowledge and has incorporated that into how he fights as well.
  
  
Equipment: Magical sword/Juuchi Yosamu: His katana which he has used for centuries. It as what turned him immortal and granted him eternal youth as well as stronger physical abilities. The sword itself never needs sharpened or maintained and regenerates if damaged. It cannot be controlled through abilities or the like by anyone other than its wielder and Nobuatsu must die for another to bond with it. It has two forms, the sword form and then a more mundane form in the shape of a small charm with a similar appearance to the sword itself. It can be called to him from nearly anywhere unless magically sealed.
Weaknesses:
• Magical Skulduggery: The mystical nature of Juuchi Yosamu and the changes it wrought upon him have made him more susceptible to magic attacks than those of the mundane kind. Magical wounds heal slower and any magical phenomena have more lasting effects on him than their mundane counterparts would. Additionally its meddling makes him largely unable to use magic of any kind except those related to and allowed by the sword.
  
• Limits Reached: Though Nobu can push past any limits normal humans might have achieving feats nearly impossible for normal humans even he has limits. Once he has reached those limits his body can only sustain that level of power for a short time, minutes usually.
  
• Not quite Uncontrollable: Although he has perfect control of his body, his body itself can still be manipulated, by any powers which manipulate the body as a vessel rather than its inner workings.

Background:

Job: TBD
Legal Status: Yes
Backstory:Nobuatsu was born as part of a set of twins to a child of Nobunaga Oda in the year 1588. He and his brother were fraternal twins rather than identical, but they were still separated. They were raised the same until they turned 5 when it became apparent that his brother Nobuhiro favored their father more. Thus it was determined that Nobuhiro would lead while a much different, much crueler fate awaited Nobuatsu.

The Oda clan had suffered much after Nobunaga Oda fell, so they chose not to kill Nobuatsu. He was sent to Hattori Hanzo, a renowned warrior who was friends with Nobunaga. He was subjected to training many modern humans would consider torture, but he succeeded beyond anyones expectations. At the age of 16 he was sent out to properly hone his skills in battle and otherwise, he would do so for 5 years. At the age of 21 he was recruited to work for Nobuhiro

Eventually it came to light that Nobuatsu was Nobuhiro's brother. That alone was no real issue but there were those who sought to depose Nobuhiro and make Nobuatsu rule. Regardless of the fact that Nobuatsu cared not about ruling, just honing his craft, they still tried. Nobuhiro became worried that Nobuatsu would take his power, and in his paranoia and desperation he committed a grave mistake, he made Nobuatsu his enemy. He sent Nobuatsu away on a mission and arranged for assassins to ambush him. Nobuatsu defeated the assassins with ease, being careful not to injure them fatally, but his fight was far from over.

If those assassins had been the end of it then Nobuatsu could have perhaps forgiven his brothers trespass against him. While assassins had been sent to ambush Nobuatsu a similar group had been dispatched to Nobuatsu's home. When he arrived the assassins were still there, but he was too late, his wife and their firstborn were dead. He defeated those who turned their blades towards his family, he did not kill them, he was not that merciful. He worked his way through the soldiers sent to his home and discovered they were sent by Nobuhiro.

Nobuatsu was angry, to Nobuatsu him dying was an inevitability, he was a warrior after all, but to direct a blade towards his family, that was unforgiveable. He rode towards Nagoya Castle, the seat of power and home of the Oda clan. Thus began an epic battle you will find no evidence of in any surviving historical document. Even though he was just one man against a veritable army, one could not help but feel sorry for those loyal to Nobuhiro.

Nobuatsu had always been stronger and faster than one of his size normally would be, he did not know why he just accepted it. During his assault on Nagoya Castle he was different, to say he fought like a man possessed would be an understatement. His fury and focus on his goal allowed him to push himself and allowed him to use his superpower, though he still did not know he had one at that time. The battle was not entirely one-sided, despite his skill and ferocity he still took many injuries. He lasted long enough to reach Nobuhiro, he did not kill his brother, but left him with his shame and dishonor, a more lasting injury than anything physical.

His injuries were great, but he still pushed himself to reach where he and his wife had lived. He knew he was dying, he could feel his life leaving him, but was able to ignore it to some extent. He reached the grave he had made for Mina Hasegawa, his wife, and committed seppuku in front of her grave. Fate had other things in store for him however, when his blade pierced his flesh is powers fully awoke. The emotional trauma had allowed him to subconsciously harness his ability, the physical damage awakened it fully.

He awoke to find all his wounds healed and his body younger, stronger than it had been in his prime years ago. He could feel that he was different from how he once was, he could feel the potential within his body. Even when Nobuatsu had travelled in his youth to hone his skills he had never left Japan. Now however he knew he had to leave, he went where the tides of war and battle took him. He stayed in Africa for some time as a mercenary, honing his skills and determining the changes the sword had wrought upon him.

He spent more than two centuries away from Japan, travelling the world and expanding his horizons. He would return to his homeland in the year 1866, and make a home in the Echizen province in a village there. For nearly a dozen years he would stay in Japan, leading a peaceful existence far removing from his last couple centuries of fighting. In 1877 when Saigo Takamori led a samurai rebellion against the Meiji government, officially Nobuatsu left Japan after a certain incident. In truth he remained in Japan, not in a single place, rather he roamed from island to island helping their inhabitants.

a few years after WW2 began Nobuatsu was captured by the Japanese government of the time and handed over to the Nazi regime. Though knowledge of Meta's was not widespread the Nazis chased down even the most preposterous rumor.They kept him quite well contained after some trial and error, Nobu was left to their tender care for years until he facility he was in was attacked. He and others kept there escaped during the chaos, he had been made somewhat wary by the actions of his people and what he experienced under the Nazis.

Following WW2 Nobu went to wander the world again, even during the Cold War nothing changed about that, he did keep on the move however. He would not stay in any place for long, occasionally helping people when he could and then moving on. In recent years he has come to both appreciate and abhor certain changes of the world and certain phenomena and cultural curiosities that have risen in the in the last several decades. One thing he has taken a liking to is certain foods and motion pictures, one such among them is pizza, he also likes star wars. Recently he has been traveling through the United States, a place he has not been for some time.

Gods Among Us Character Application

Character Description

Name: Corrina Speer
Aliases: Duchess
Gender: Female
Age: 33
Appearance:

---

Motivations

Goals: Saving and improving the lives of meta-humans, stopping meta-persecution by humans and breaking them free from the chains put upon them by society.
Fears: Failing in her mission, meta-humans being hunted and killed for what they are.

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Metahuman ancestry
Powers : Energy Manipulation Corrina can create, shape and manipulate energy. Some of the more common forms (but not an exhaustive list) are:

Energy Bolts - a small blast of energy to stun, burn, or injure a target
Energy Bombs - a large orb of energy that's released towards a target area before detonating, causing an explosion of energy and a shockwave.
Energy Blades - pure energy concentrated to a solid form either around or in her hands as a melee attack.
Energy Spikes - similar to energy blades, but narrower and either launched directly or upward to arc down onto a target.
Energy Shield - a protective layer of energy around Corrina's body that can protect from basic attacks.
Levitation - Corrina also uses energy to levitate herself and other objects under 750lbs.
Abilities: Fencing - Corrina is an expert with the various forms of blades she can create.
Classical Education - Corrina was born into a wealthy family and attended an illustrious private school, along with being naturally intelligent.
Equestrian - Corrina learned to ride horses from a very young age, and can ride them with proficiency.
Equipment: She carries several emergency energy bars in case she starts to tire while using her power. She also has a locket with a picture of her parents.
Weaknesses: Energy Manipulation is a very intensive power, and requires a lot of energy to use. This causes Corrina to need to eat a very high caloric diet to keep using it consistently. After prolonged use, she'll start to tire out, causing her power to become weaker until she either stops to rest or she passes out.

---

Background:

Job: None. Former socialite
Legal Status: Internationally hunted terrorist on multiple Most Wanted lists
Backstory: Corrina was the only daughter of two meta-humans from a wealthy family. As such, her powers developed and showed themselves early, though her parents chose to hide it until she learned to control them effectively. Unfortunately prejudice against metas knows no social class, and her parents became two high profile victims of targeted attacks. This left a teenage Corrina with a deep dislike of humanity, and pushed her towards her path of saving metas from the hatred of the common man.

She funneled her substantial inheritance into various shell companies and offshore bank accounts to keep it from being frozen as she embarked upon her crusade to liberate the meta population. At first she only defended other metas from attack, but as she grew older she became more daring and would preemptively strike at known anti-meta groups or individuals. As word of her attacks and motives spread, she sought to recruit more metas to her cause, viewing them as a resistance force against the oppression of their kind. As the years went on, the body count grew as she waged her own war against humanity.

Governments around the world all sought to bring Corrina to justice, but they found it difficult since other metas would hide her, or assist her to freedom if she was captured. Even metas that didn't join her violent rebellion could view her sympathetically, because she also provided for metas even if they didn't fight with her. She would help them financially, find them a way out of poverty, learn to control their powers, get them a place to live away from potentially dangerous areas or break free from a gang.

Looks grand for a later storyline!

[Demencia]

Looks grand for a later storyline!

Great, I already have an idea or two for how that story can be started later

[Granis]

Will this plot line take place before or after the Slaggep one? Because I'm still coming up with ideas for it. I don't really mind which comes first, but maybe we should work out a proper timeline or something. Like marvel has!

Also, I'm not sure if you guys are thinking of two separate arcs, but what if you merged Corrina's arc with the one where The Storm makes its move? Make it a big war type scenario with each side battling it out on two fronts. Kinda like that older version now that I think about it...

Interested in this RP.

(Suit)

(No Suit)
Height: 5'8 Weight: 129

---

Motivations

Goals: Jumper wants to gain experience with his power
Fears: Jack has an intense fear of deep water, along with true solitude

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Jack, at the tender age of 6, got a full blast of interdimensional energy from a portal gone awry, giving him is powers
Powers : Short range teleportation: Jack himself can teleport up to 10 feet in any direction
Switcheroo: Jack can swap places with anyone who considers him an ally, a useful skill in rescuing teammates, though it can easily put him in danger
Abilities: Acrobatics: Years of gymnastics training has left Jack quite skilled in acrobatics
Skilled(?) swordsman: Years of self teaching has left his sword skills to be quite acceptable, if amateurish
Equipment: 1x pair of wakizashi (short katanas)
1x longsword
Weaknesses: Metabolism: Jack draws the energy for his teleportation from his body, meaning it tires him out quickly. From a full stomach, he has about twenty jumps, which he runs through quite quickly

---

Background:

Job: Pizza delivery boy
Legal Status: Hero/Vigilante
Backstory: Jack was young when he happened to get caught in a battle between two metas. A simple stroll in the park left him permanently altered, when he fell into a portal opened by one of the metas, before the meta could create another connecting portal. What resulted was a full blast of the energy found between dimensions, for what to Jack felt like at least a day. When he finally emerged, halfway across the city, he was physically unmarked, but coursing through his veins was the energy that gives him his powers. It appeared at odd moments throughout his life, but it truly culminated when his boyfriend was nearly ran down by a drunk driver. Jack subconsciously switched places with him, and was hit in his stead. He survived, and after that incident he found much greater control over his powers. Now a fledgling hero, he decided he needed a way to gain meaningful experience. His first thought was finding a mentor, but realized joining the First Battalion would be much easier, and more importantly, quicker. So now? He’s ready to be a hero.

Goals: Jumper wants to gain experience with his power
Fears: Jack has an intense fear of deep water, along with true solitude

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Jack, at the tender age of 6, got a full blast of interdimensional energy from a portal gone awry, giving him is powers
Powers : Short range teleportation: Jack himself can teleport up to 10 feet in any direction
Switcheroo: Jack can swap places with anyone who considers him an ally, a useful skill in rescuing teammates, though it can easily put him in danger
Abilities: Acrobatics: Years of gymnastics training has left Jack quite skilled in acrobatics
Skilled(?) swordsman: Years of self teaching has left his sword skills to be quite acceptable, if amateurish
Equipment: 1x pair of wakizashi (short katanas)
1x longsword
Weaknesses: Metabolism: Jack draws the energy for his teleportation from his body, meaning it tires him out quickly. From a full stomach, he has about twenty jumps, which he runs through quite quickly

---

Background:

Job: Pizza delivery boy
Legal Status: Hero/Vigilante
Backstory: Jack was young when he happened to get caught in a battle between two metas. A simple stroll in the park left him permanently altered, when he fell into a portal opened by one of the metas, before the meta could create another connecting portal. What resulted was a full blast of the energy found between dimensions, for what to Jack felt like at least a day. When he finally emerged, halfway across the city, he was physically unmarked, but coursing through his veins was the energy that gives him his powers. It appeared at odd moments throughout his life, but it truly culminated when his boyfriend was nearly ran down by a drunk driver. Jack subconsciously switched places with him, and was hit in his stead. He survived, and after that incident he found much greater control over his powers. Now a fledgling hero, he decided he needed a way to gain meaningful experience. His first thought was finding a mentor, but realized joining the First Battalion would be much easier, and more importantly, quicker. So now? He’s ready to be a hero.

So, my first co-op stuff calls, unless Dyelli says otherwise, I think your char is good

I never contradict the Co-OP. If you say it looks good, its good

[Dyelli Beybi]

On a side note, I think the IC has stalled a bit. I was thinking people were going to write their daring escapes from the building, but it looks like they aren't. We have a couple of fresh faces on-board so I'm going to time-skip to the next instalment very soon (probably about 24 hours). This will make a good time to intro new characters and bring us a step closer to facing the big bad for this arc.

I was thinking of making a escape post, but, it would just be blending into the crowd and going out of the building and to Andrew's job, so, I thought it would neither be daring nor entertaining

Gods Among Us Character Application

Character Description

Name: Fionn Mac Caomhánach, Anglicised as Finn Kavanagh
Aliases: Murk
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Appearance: Finn is an athletic kid standing at 5'4" with short, straight brown hair. His eyes are grey, though they used to be hazel brown or something. He always wears an oversized black eight point cap or a beanie, and typically wears loose clothing. His current outfit consists of a pair of short pants and a sleeveless hoodie jacket with the beanie or the gatsby cap.

---

Motivations

Goals: More than anything, Finn hopes to find a way to fix or improve himself. The darkness constantly eats away at him, hence why he'd like to find a way to carry on with life without worrying about that. If it means losing his powers, it's worth it in his opinion. For the meantime he just wants to make the best of his powers, though he doesn't really care if the end result of his actions are good or bad.
Fears: Fading away is Finn's biggest fear. Now, the shadows don't work very quickly, but it's a constant and painful struggle, and he can feel every moment of it. Other than that he's not really scared of much. Suddenly getting powers that allow him to fend for himself has made sure of that.

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: A dark matter incident wherein he and a handful of other people were the only survivors.
Powers : Umbrakinesis is his best asset. He can basically weaponise shadows by concentrating them around his limbs. These don't take much energy to use and so are his first choice in any confrontation. If that doesn't work though, he slows his physical functions a little bit and summons a shroud of darkness to surround his body, effectively creating an armor of sorts. This ability however, requires more energy, meaning that using it will almost always leave Finn falling unconscious afterwards.

He can also hide in the shadows. But this takes a lot of energy to pull off unless it's night time or it's just very dark. In the day he'd have to gather shadows to completely cover himself and hide. (Potentially he could also jump into the shadows, but he doesn't know that he can do that yet.)

Finn is also pretty tough for his size. He can get hit by a truck (at most) and survive. And if ever he takes substantial damage is able to repair himself, though very slowly. And he can't be bothered, otherwise he can't focus. As a result, he flakes at a faster rate. Repairing himself doesn't take much energy, but it does require him to be somewhere that is very dark. Simple shade under an old tree won't count.

Finn can also use shadows to teleport varying distances. But he doesn't know how to do this. Yet. He can also use weaponised shadows from a distance. For example, if someone happens to be standing beside an alleyway at night, Finn can send dark tendrils shooting out of there and cutting, impaling, crushing, or.. "Swallowing" that person. Finn could then use that person's energies to sustain his own form. But he doesn't know that either. So right now he can't use either of these.

Abilities: Finn is great with a yo-yo. And it's not really a superpower, but he sure could hurt you with one. He can also speak Gaeilge. He can also cook and drive quite decently.
Equipment: Powerful psychostimulants that he takes periodically. Where he gets them is none of your concern. He also owns a very heavy, very sturdy yo-yo for when he doesn't really need to slice someone in half with a shadowblade.
Weaknesses: As a result of overexposure, Finn is in a state of constant deterioration. He's pretty much breaking apart, and so he has to focus in order to keep from completely vanishing into oblivion. He also tends to faint after using his powers for an extended period of time or using too much energy at once. When not in combat he's usually quite lethargic and has trouble staying awake unless he's on medications.

---

Background:

Job: Student. And a pretty damn awful one, at that. Nan still loves him though.
Legal Status: Not really a registered hero. Kind of just a vigilante, really. Sometimes he does criminal things for his amusement or needs however. Like, stealing something his nan has said she wanted or badly needs.

Backstory: Finn is a relatively new member of the FEB. He's not a certified hero just yet, though. Think of him as an intern of sorts. He's lived in New York most of his life, but has temporarily moved to the state of Maine as part of a fabricated education program. There he helps the FEB out where he can, but visits his grandmother in New York quite often. It's safer for him compared to others to do so, due to the fact that he's not publicly known as a member of the organization.

Legal Status: Not really a registered hero. Kind of just a vigilante, really. Sometimes he does criminal things for his amusement or needs however. Like, stealing something his nan has said she wanted or badly needs.
Backstory: While he isn't part of the FEB, Finn is aware of them. He doesn't much care for them though and just prefers to keep to his own area. He does his own thing mostly and keeps a very low profile, dealing only with petty criminals he finds when he's out wandering(which is most of the time). Though he should be in school, his condition makes it much harder for him to pay attention in class. The constant struggle to keep his form doesn't help either. As a result he just avoids school altogether.

Right now Finn just lingers. He tries to study when he can, but doesn't really enjoy that. So he just learns practical skills and does works odd jobs from time to time. Mostly though, he prefers stealing because it's easier and much more exciting.

Good to see you here!

The character build looks fine, but the problem for me at the moment is that I can't see how we can work him into the story as it is focused around the members of the FEB. They are following a quest which will be hard for your character to get involved in unless you have a clear concept of how you are going to bring him into the story?

[Kylantha]

Good to be here!

But, dear me, I hadn't thought of that!.. I suppose I'll have to understand what's going on thus far before I can say for sure. It will have to wait though. I really must get sleep.

Here's the newest STORM operative, backing up Wikus:

Gods Among Us Character Application

Character Description

Name: Erwin Korsar
Aliases: Oktober
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Appearance: Tall (~192 cm) and durable, but not very muscular.

---

Motivations

Goals: Ensure a safe future and planet for the next generation to come...by helping eliminate the metahuman threat to humanity. And making sure that his country benefits from all of this.
Fears: He fears, as more metahumans are born each year, that eventually "regular" humans, and their civilizations & cultures, will be driven to extinction.

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Military training, experimental cybernetics, and a fancy suit.
Powers : With the help of an imaging system implanted in his eye, he has the ability to perceive near-infrared and short-wave infrared wavelengths at will in addition to the visible spectrum, though not all at the same time. It also can digitally zoom up to 3.5 times normal eye sight, but its very disorienting so he doesn't use it much.

Additionally, he has a black flight suit that can change color and shape, and contains a thin liner to disperse x-rays and radar, controlled via a smart watch. This is mainly for adaptive camouflage, but it can also mimic civilian clothes to some extent. Its heavier than it looks, pretty uncomfortable, and can get very stuffy & hot, so he tries to use it only when absolutely necessary.
Abilities: Skilled at driving almost any ground vehicle, firing almost any weapon up to anti-tank missiles, and close quarters combat. Instructed in operational psychology including PsyOps and interrogation, biochemistry, intelligence gathering, first aid, and SERE. Strong willed and highly disciplined through harsh psychological and moral-political training, and all five senses honed to an extreme degree through training and combat. Speaks all official languages of the UN, plus German, with a variety of local dialects. Also a decent singer.
Equipment: Through his friends in the FBI - and through them, STORM and Branch 999 - he can get a hold of a variety of both Western and Combloc small arms and grenades. His favorite weapon at the moment is a VSS with a Val's 20-round magazine and a BS-1 noiseless grenade launcher, and a P210 as a sidearm. He also loves using grenades and explosives, a holdover from Branch 999, stuffing himself full of stun, smoke, CS, and so on. Lastly, if all else fails - or lethal force isn't allowed - he carries a taser and a collapsible baton. Optics (day and night), body armor, and a helmet with a radio system is a given, though what he wears or how heavy he armors himself depends on the mission and the danger.

Aside from weapons, more unusual things he has are typically a decent amount of cash (anywhere to $20,000) when not on a combat mission, and a kit containing some medicines and chemical substances. More money and, well, "special" chemicals will have to be requested from up high.
Weaknesses: He's a strong and tough human, but a basic human nonetheless, so anything that would kill a non-metahuman would kill him (for example, a bullet to the head if he isn't wearing a helmet). His ocular cybernetics cause a lot of strain on the optic nerve and the brain when in use, giving him headaches if he uses it for more than a few seconds at a time.

---

Background:

Job: "Doing bad things to bad people." - Prior to FEB, working with the FBI CIRG.
Legal Status: US citizen and with a resume in counter-terrorism and crisis negotiation, but before FEB not a known hero (or known at all, really). And for now, he prefers it that way.
Backstory:

Officially, Erwin Korsar was born in the United States, to parents who immigrated from Switzerland. Raised in Rockville, MD, with an older and a younger sister, and a dog; very good grades in school, decent athletics, ended up going to Johns Hopkins University and majoring in psychology. Snapped up by the US IC right after graduation, did some TS/SCI spooky stuff, eventually made it into the FBI's CIRG with a focus on countering metahuman criminals and terrorists. Now moving to the FEB to continue work there, as a specialist in CT and intelligence gathering and also unofficially as a representative of the US IC. All in all, a true All-American kid.

Except for one thing - there is no Erwin Korsar.


All of his credentials and experience working for the US government is real, but Erwin Korsar never existed. His documents, placement in college and the IC, etc. are thanks to the influence of STORM working hand in hand with his real employer.

Erwin Korsar's real name is Akram Mansur, who comes from from a certain Middle Eastern country. As metahuman units have proliferated in countries such as, for example, Israel, there has also been a drive in units to counter them. In Akram's country, a special force was established as part of the country's Intelligence Directorate, known as "Branch 999" or the Saika Battalion ("Thunderbolt"), and he was picked to be one of them. The pain and punishment was even harsher than most SOF, as the goal was to have regular, unpowered humans competing against metahumans, so each soldier had to be at the peak of human performance both mentally and physically.

Though not a friend of the United States, somehow, representatives of both STORM and Branch 999 met and formed a secret alliance, with each side sending liaisons to the other. With access to STORM's unusual, cutting-edge technologies, Akram - having been selected as Branch 999's liaison in STORM's area of operations - got his ocular implants and his suit, as well as a whole new identity tailored just for him - Erwin Korsar. And from there, the rest is history.

So, I'm on a summer camp currently and Internet here isn't very reliable, so, I'll have trouble making posts
