Gods Among Us (OOC|Superhero|Open)

[Anowa]

Powers : Electrokinesis Yuri can control electricity in various ways such as electrical aura, electric discharge, electrical beam emission, lightning bolt projection, supercharge, electricity defense, lightning ball form and electronic disruption, he has come up for two of his techniques but the rest are unnamed.

Make then named please. Also, fill out the details of the ones yet to be detailed below.

Electrical aura: Yuri can release and surround himself in/with electricity for defensive and/or offensive purposes, possibly becoming almost untouchable and granting them various abilities/attacks.

How long can he keep this up for? "Almost untouchable" what can make it past the shield?

[Electric discharge: Yuri can create a large amount of electricity and release it causing an explosion around him, he can use it to to create small explosions around him that are not big enough to kill him and do a big enough explosion big enough to destroy a building but it would also kill him in the process.

How small of an explosion is considered small here? How big of a building can be destroyed.

Electrobeam (Electrical beam emission): Yuri can gather a large amount of electricity in his hand, concentrate it and launch it as a beam.

What's the maximum distance of this 'beam'? What's it's destructive potential?

Thunderball: named after a James bond movie this technique is a variant of the electrical beam beam except it is concentrated into a ball and launched at the enemy, the ball explodes on impact, since Yuri hasn't trained or refined this technique it might explode in his face.

Again, range and destructive potential.

Lightning bolt: Yuri can create a lightning bolt and fire it from his hands, the differences between this and get electrical beam emission is that this is much faster to use as travels much faster, this may only shock or paralyze the enemy while the electrical beam emission has a higher chance of killing.

I take it this is just a fancy name for a hand casted tazer, otherwise casting lightning bolts would kill the current electricity manipulators a few dozen times over. So I request specifics regarding it's destructive capacity and range.

Equipment: he can get some cool stuff later

Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Weaknesses: Users of Electrical Immunity are not affected, distance, force, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user and their power's natural limits, may become useless if confronted with electrical resistant material, such as rubber, silicate, may have problems using electronics, may hurt allies around him by losing control of his power

What are the user's natural limits? May is incredibly vague regarding weaknesses. It's a grey term for what is expected to be a black and white category. It will be a weakness or it won't.

Backstory: Yuri was born in January 21st 1994 in a small hospital in Vladivostok, his mother died giving birth to him soon stricken with grief his father decided to leave Russia and settle in new York hoping to start a new life, Yuri was very close with his father since he was the only family Yuri had, Yuri's father taught him Russian and many other things about their homeland, Yuri's father was an NYPD officer, Yuri's father almost died during the night of the broken mask, soon after that Yuri discovered his own metahuman powers, his father did everything to hide it to protect his son during those troubling times.

At age 15 during his rebellious phase Yuri used to sneak out of school and pickpocket strangers then use his gains for him an his friend's entertainment another thing he liked to do was experiment with his powers, since Yuri's father was a busy man Yuri most of the time could do whatever he wanted to do, he also played games but his sole healthy hobby was that he liked to cook and his father encouraged it, Yuri often made dinner and lunch.

In March 2nd 2017 when Yuri was coming to his apartment which he had since he moved out in 2015 he was informed that his father was shot dead while confronting a thief in some alleyway, Yuri later tried to scrounge up all the information he could find out about said thief, one day Yuri tracked the thief down and killed the thief in the most painful way imaginable, for the next years he trained his powers and made various techniques inside a small abandoned garage in the city which was his hideout, he als did a lot of vigilante stuff in new York City, last month he came into contact with some TIAMA members and he agreed to join the organization going with the name "Perkunos".

This bio is three run on sentences. As well as typos and syntaxical errors. Please rectify this.

Gods Among Us Character Application

Character Description

Name: Robert Kravchuk Massoud
Aliases: Shadowshock
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Appearance:
(Image)

---

Motivations

Goals: He is an advocate for exposing and rooting out corruption in governments. In addition, he also clings strongly to the ideals of justice and equity. However, he also wishes to destroy/lock up whoever subjected his good uncle, Nicholas, to cruel experiments.
Fears: Above all, failure.

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Genetic Inheritance
Powers :

Cloak of Shadow: Robert emits a passive field of darkness, shutting off all or select light sources within 20 meters at will. He can turn it on and off depending on the circumstances.

Density Shift: Shadowshock is capable of phasing through solid objects at will. Conversely, Shadowshock is also capable of making his body as durable as a steel wall

Shockwave: In addition to manipulating his own density, he can also manipulate the vibration of air particles directly in front of his hands, allowing him to fire concussive waves capable of sending a car flying several meters at maximum power. Usually, however, he uses non-lethal knockbacks as repeated max powered blasts will make him fatigued very quickly.

Abilities:
Writing: Robert is a very persuasive journalist and is rather good at evoking emotions through written words alone.

CQC: Shadowshock is adept at fighting multiple mundane enemies at once even without using his powers. This training was done in case enemies take advantage of his weakness.

Equipment:
Stormclaw Gauntlets: Titanium alloy gauntlets made especially for him by the Insurgent. They can be used to grapple unto steep cliffs and reel in fleeing foes. In addition, the gauntlets are capable of discharging a adjustable stream of electricity into a target upon physical contact, which can range from simple tasing to a highly lethal electrocution.

Weaknesses: Sonic weapons disrupt his molecular integrity, causing him to revert to a normal density. In addition, there are a few substances he cannot phase through, namely titanium, chromium, radioactive elements, and organic material. Also, once he is heavily wounded, he cannot phase for a long time.

---

Background:

Job: He is a blogger that also happens to work full time in TIAMA.
Legal Status: Didn't have the best reputation in high school, but he is essentially clean.
Backstory: Robert Kravchuk Massoud is the eldest son of Katya Kravchuk and Nathaniel Massoud; he was born a few years after the Kravchuks had emigrated to the United States. While his matrilineal lineage had no metahuman DNA in it, his patrilineal lineage did. His father's clan were gifted in different ways; Nathaniel had extremely rapid reflexes that made him one of the best soldiers of the Army. He would later die in action in Iraq after trying to save his comrades from an IED; his death would cause Robert to be closer to his mother's younger brother, Nicholas.

His abilities manifested when he was 20; he instinctively saved a pregnant woman from a car crash by amping his density to block the vehicle from hitting her. However, his abilities caused many of his friends to be afraid of him, and soon, they left him. He became a social outcast right up until he graduated from college. When he began working, he tried to hide his abilities, only to be exposed when one of his former schoolmates entered the same company, who spread rumors of him being metahuman.

Frustrated, he left the company after three months. Everyone looked at him with fear, perhaps because he was never the kindest person back when he was younger. He was, in fact, kind of a bully; a thing that he regrets forever.

In 2017, Robert's uncle, Nicholas, was reported to be in the hospital where his mother worked as a doctor. Accordingly, Nicholas had some burns, presumably from the explosion that occurred just a few blocks away. After his recovery, Nicholas would go on to tell Robert that he was given abilities of technological control, though the price of pain and suffering was high. He said that he now knew what it felt like to have powers like his nephew.

At 25, he was approached by TIAMA recruiters, who offered him a job. He accepted, in the condition that he will anonymously publish a blog that essentially made the organisation look good and (factually) bashed its critics. It was accepted, somehow.

Accepted.

Electrobeam (Electrical beam emission): Yuri can gather a large amount of electricity in his hand, concentrate it and launch it as a beam, this technique's deadliness can depend upon how powerful it is, the more powerful the greater the range and lethality, Yuri can only power it up for 12 seconds any more the powered up electricity might burst and destroy his hand, the maximum range for this technique is 25 meters

Thunderball: named after a James bond movie this technique is a variant of the electrical beam beam except it is concentrated into a ball and launched at the enemy, the ball explodes on impact, since Yuri hasn't trained or refined this technique it might explode in his face, this technique isn't a beam but since it is the size of a volleyball, the maximum range of this technique is 20 meters, the time to power this up takes at least 20 seconds.

Character Description

Name: Ezekiel Smith
Aliases: Android
Gender: M
Age: Unkown
Appearance: He by all accounts would look like a normal good looking human, if not for the obvious deep scars that can be used to access his internal workings, and of course, his skin is pure white ( not caucasian, but just straight up bone white )

---

Motivations

Goals: Gain complete control over his body, and assisting Corrina Speer
Fears: losing control of his body allowing the standard programming to take over, after which he will undoubtedly be terminated as a malfunction

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Having his mind transferred to an Android
Powers :
Faster, Better, Stronger he is simply put, a robot with a human brain, due to this, he does not require sleep, food and other such needs, he is also much more durable than any normal human could, like falling from large heights of 17 meters, withstanding large amounts of weight being put upon his shoulders, and can maintain mobility for several days on end before requiring maintenance, He can also withstand 3600 Degrees Celsius, he is also about to run at top speed of 30 km/h, and 12000 Newtons of force in a punch, however, due to the transfer process, presumably at least, the impressive mental abilities of his body were rendered null.
Abilities: Nah
Equipment: nah
Weaknesses:
A Human By Mind the previously impressive mental abilities of his body were rendered null because of presumably the installation of a human mind inside a machine's body, furthermore, it seems his emotional capacity has been elevated, causing him to experience emotions much more intensely than normal humans, therefore, he sometimes acts illogically overtaken by emotions.

EMP weak a EMP would probably render him immobile at best, thankfully the core, which now stores his mind would be left undamaged

Underworld Dealings If damaged, Ezekiel will need to resort to underworld dealers to provide parts necessary for his repair, as asking the company his body was manufactured by would probably be a bad idea

---

Background:

Job: None
Legal Status: Stolen Epoch LLC property
Backstory:
Ezekiel Smith is the name of a 32 year old Californian man who went missing in the mid 2010's it's unknown what happened to him, or if he was even alive, eventually after a year long search, he was pronounced dead in absentia, funeral was held in winter of 2016, it was assumed that he either committed suicide or was kidnapped and eventually killed by the kidnapper, however, roughly in 2018 a seemingly sentient machine was reported as a follower of Corrina Speer, in a video posted on Twitter by an random bystander and witness to one of Corrina's exploits he was referred to as Ezekiel Smith.

The body is a stolen prototype of Anthony's Cross project, something which would later produce Elisa, it was stolen and subsequently lost during transport, It has reportedly resurfaced a couple of times in the criminal underworld until finally disappearing for good in early 2017, later in 2018, the prototype was identified, and appeared to posses sentience, now following Corrina Speer.

It's unknown how Ezekiel's mind and the prototype's wound up together, since Ezekiel's memories were wiped, and if the prototype has any, they are locked away, the system seems to treat Ezekiel's mind as a virus, and tries to take back the control of the body with some simplistic programmed routines that would allow it to be able to defend itself and return to Anthony Cross, whowever, it seems Ezekiel is now in control, perhaps a bigger mystery is, how he wound up on the doorstep to Corrina Speer's apartment, he was accepted by her, even if she considered the possible dangers, thankfully, it seems his memory is coming back, or at least his name did

Powers : Electrokinesis Yuri can control electricity in various ways such as electrical aura, electric discharge, electrical beam emission, lightning bolt projection, supercharge, electricity defense, lightning ball form and electronic disruption, he has come up for two of his techniques but the rest are unnamed.

Again, there are no secrets in this app, either have them detailed below as with the rest of his subpowers, or remove them.

lightning shield: Yuri can release and surround himself in around a 1 feet circle with electricity for defensive and/or offensive purposes, possibly becoming almost untouchable and granting them various abilities/attacks, Yuri can keep this up for at best 5 minutes but it will take a lot out of him.

Again, I need to know what constitutes untouchable. At what point does he not become untouchable?

Electroburst: Yuri can create a large amount of electricity and release it causing an explosion around him, he can use it to to create small explosions around him that are not big enough to kill him and do a big enough explosion big enough to destroy an area about the size of two NBA courts but it would also kill him in the process.

I need to know what constitutes "a small explosion".

Weaknesses: Users of Electrical Immunity are not affected, distance, force, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user and their power's natural limits, may become useless if confronted with electrical resistant material, such as rubber, silicate, may have problems using electronics, may hurt allies around him by losing control of his power, may pass out or die after overworking his power, fear of spiders

Remove the word "may" and replace it with "will" or "will not". Fear of spiders isn't a weakness, humans are subconsciously afraid of spiders, that's at best a personality trait.

Legal Status: only TIAMA knows his identity

It would be nice to know with what countries he has citizenship with.

Backstory: Yuri was born on January 21st 1994 at a small hospital in Vladivostok, his mother died giving birth to him, (actually died due to Yuri's metahuman ability) stricken with grief his father decided to leave Russia and settle in new York hoping to start a new life, Yuri was very close with his father since he was the only family Yuri had, Yuri's father taught him Russian and many other things about their homeland, Yuri's father was an NYPD officer, Yuri's father almost died during the night of the broken mask, soon after that Yuri discovered his own metahuman powers, his father did everything to hide it to protect his son during those troubling times.

Of these three sentences, you've changed 15 words, but none of the errors in grammar or syntax. Fix this.

---

Background:

Job: Retail clerk.
Legal Status: Hero
Backstory: Aden was born into poverty and a broken family in the slums of LA. Her father was a alcoholic bum who died when she was just 3. Her mother worked three jobs, trying to support her daughter, but it was never enough. Although her mother tried to keep her on the straight and narrow, Aden began to slip into a life of crime. She made use of her small size to sneakily steal food, wallets, and eventually more expensive goods. Aden always hated her lot in life and idolized the celebrities on TV. Aden hated being ignored or looked down upon, and wanted the attention and respect those shining stars got. She hated having to steal design goods and fancy clothes, she wanted to be able to walk right in and buy out the whole store. In order to reach her dreams she tried out for multiple parts to try to break into show business, but she was always turned away or ignored. All of the rejections put her in a dark place, leading her towards suicide. Wanting to be seen in death as she had not been in life, she decided to jump off a building on in front of a major movie star. She had her death all planned out, but fate had something else in store for her. She was ready on top of the building when a freak storm hit the city spoiling her plans. Not wanting to be remembered as a soggy mess, Aden climbed back up from edge of the building, but an incredibly close thunderclap startled her and she lost her grip on the side and began to fall towards the hard pavement below. Suddenly finding a will to live, Aden desperately prayed to anything to save her, and surprisingly something answered. Right before hitting the ground her hair and eyes stared glowing white and she stopped in mid air. Aden thought she had been rescued by a superhero, but she soon realized the power came from within her. Excited by her sudden empowerment, Aden started to test out her new powers summoning her full amount of glowing hands and chains. After shutting hers powers off, she snuck back to her run down apartment to get some rest. When she woke up and read through the news online, she found a video of her on a news site labeling her as a new super. Seeing all the views she was getting, Aden decided that this would be her new life, and set about work on a suitable costume and moniker.

Gods Among Us Character Application

Character Description

Name: Jacques Lenard
Aliases: Hydra Imperator
Gender: A Man
Age: 30
Appearance:
Battle Geared

His normal self

---

Motivations

Goals: He aims to purge the world of evil. Whatever it takes.
Fears: There is no one he fears more other than himself.

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: A binding contract with a sentient alien suit of armor called Hydra.
Powers:

Hydra Activation: Normally, Jacques Lenard is just an ordinary person. However, he can call upon Hydra from a pocket dimension, which then attaches itself to him and turns Jacques into the Hydra Imperator, the master of the suit.

Robotic Appendages: Four robotic appendages sprout from the Hydra Imperator,; two of them combined are powerful enough together to tear a person in half. Each of them has a mind of its own, though they follow Hydra Imperator's commands to the letter. They are capable of grabbing unto objects and act as a secondary pair of legs. Furthermore, they can also carry and fire firearms. When cut off, they need time to regenerate, and won't be in action for another five hours.

Enhanced Strength: The Hydra grants Jacques enhanced physical strength when worn, allowing him to lift up to 50 tons with some difficulty. His punches and kicks are also highly enhanced, with both being able to crack concrete.

Regenerative Bio-metal: The material that comprises Hydra is not from Earth and is as strong as titanium while being as light as aluminum. It slowly regenerates from damage over time.
Abilities:

Martial Artist: Jacques is a martial arts master, and incorporates the Hydra suit into his fighting style.
Equipment: Other than the alien suit he has in his disposal, Jacques always carries a Glock as a sidearm.
Weaknesses: Electromagnetic Pulses disable the Hydra Imperator's systems, causing him to revert into a normal human for short while.

---

Background:

Job: Part time TIAMA hero; teaches in the NY Martial Arts Academy Brooklyn.
Legal Status: Dual French and US citizen.
Backstory: Jacques Lenard was an orphan in Paris, France, whose parents had apparently died in the middle of a scuffle between metahumans. He lived his early years in the St. Agnes Orphanage, where the nuns tried their best to provide for more than two hundred children. Many were stranded migrants from North Africa and the Middle East; others, like Jacques, were from nearby. Either way, at age 8, he was adopted by a foster family in Calais, but soon, he was having too much conflict with his new siblings and was abandoned yet again two years later. He would never sleep in the same bed for more than two years, and as he grew older, he worked many odd jobs just to study. These were times that he would not wish to recount ever again. He says that these were times of worsening condition and self loathing.

When he was 18, he truly, utterly, wished to end it all. His life so far had been pointless and ruined. None of those in his list of exes or his endless drunkeness could bring gladness to the young Frenchman's life, so he went away to the forest, looking for a place to die wherein there was no one that could watch him end it. Fortunately, there was someone in there, just that it wasn't human, or even of flesh and bone.

Truth be told, Hydra, an ancient suit of alien armor, had been sitting in that forest for over a decade ever since its original owner, a witch hunter, perished at the hands of a cabal of occult users in that very place. Hydra sensed Jacques as he approached the roots under which it was buried; it sensed his disappointment, his fear, his desperation, and his hopelessness. Hydra, in its ancient wisdom, pitied the young human; despite being a suit of armor with a mind of its own, it still felt compassion, and it began to speak to Jacques, urging him not to kill himself. It would take a lengthy discussion between the two, but Jacques dug up Hydra from the roots of that old oak and made a deal; Hydra will make him a hero of great renown, if only he became its master forever. The skills of Hydra's former master were passed unto the Jacques, making him into skilled fighter and an accurate shooter without actually studying either of these.

After several years, he finished his studies and moved to the United States, where he applied to join TIAMA in a part time basis.

Enhanced Strength: The Hydra grants Jacques enhanced physical strength when worn, allowing him to lift up to 50 tons with some difficulty. His punches and kicks are also highly enhanced, with both being able to crack concrete.

Regenerative Bio-metal: The material that comprises Hydra is not from Earth and is as strong as titanium while being as light as aluminum. It slowly regenerates from damage over time.
Abilities:

Martial Artist: Jacques is a martial arts master, and incorporates the Hydra suit into his fighting style.
Equipment: Other than the alien suit he has in his disposal, Jacques always carries a Glock as a sidearm.
Weaknesses: Electromagnetic Pulses disable the Hydra Imperator's systems, causing him to revert into a normal human for short while.

Background:

Job: Part time TIAMA hero; teaches in the NY Martial Arts Academy Brooklyn.
Legal Status: Dual French and US citizen.
Backstory: Jacques Lenard was an orphan in Paris, France, whose parents had apparently died in the middle of a scuffle between metahumans. He lived his early years in the St. Agnes Orphanage, where the nuns tried their best to provide for more than two hundred children. Many were stranded migrants from North Africa and the Middle East; others, like Jacques, were from nearby. Either way, at age 8, he was adopted by a foster family in Calais, but soon, he was having too much conflict with his new siblings and was abandoned yet again two years later. He would never sleep in the same bed for more than two years, and as he grew older, he worked many odd jobs just to study. These were times that he would not wish to recount ever again. He says that these were times of worsening condition and self loathing.

When he was 18, he truly, utterly, wished to end it all. His life so far had been pointless and ruined. None of those in his list of exes or his endless drunkeness could bring gladness to the young Frenchman's life, so he went away to the forest, looking for a place to die wherein there was no one that could watch him end it. Fortunately, there was someone in there, just that it wasn't human, or even of flesh and bone.

Truth be told, Hydra, an ancient suit of alien armor, had been sitting in that forest for over a decade ever since its original owner, a witch hunter, perished at the hands of a cabal of occult users in that very place. Hydra sensed Jacques as he approached the roots under which it was buried; it sensed his disappointment, his fear, his desperation, and his hopelessness. Hydra, in its ancient wisdom, pitied the young human; despite being a suit of armor with a mind of its own, it still felt compassion, and it began to speak to Jacques, urging him not to kill himself. It would take a lengthy discussion between the two, but Jacques dug up Hydra from the roots of that old oak and made a deal; Hydra will make him a hero of great renown, if only he became its master forever. The skills of Hydra's former master were passed unto the Jacques, making him into skilled fighter and an accurate shooter without actually studying either of these.

After several years, he finished his studies and moved to the United States, where he applied to join TIAMA in a part time basis.

Accepted.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Vampire, and Ancient Ritual
Powers :
-"Biological" Vampire: (Read the Vampires lore entry for most details) Physical capacity includes a punch exceeding that of a .50 BMG round by 1.5 times, lifting weight of 14 tonnes, running speed of 65 km/h. (Quoted from Anowa's Jager app) Years of sun exposure have significantly dampened the negative effects the sun has on Immortal. Along with all of these, they also hold the typical Vampiric regeneration many others of her kind have.

-Book of the Dead: In an area of 5 meters they may summon a pool of "ooze". Which allows them to bring up a multitude of humanoid individuals to grab, slow down, or outright attack enemies in this radius. The humanoids are fairly weak, only serving as more of a hindrance than an actual threat even to the most incompetent of enemies. The real danger of this power arises in the ability for the ooze to envelop and potentially drown individuals, adding their likeness to the humanoids screaming within.

-Long Arm of Death: If Book of the Dead is being used, Immortal can reach into the ooze and produce up to 5 jagged chitin/bone spears. The spears do not dissipate if within the 5 meter radius of Book of the Dead. If thrown out of the radius of Book of the Dead, the spears will dissipate only when it hits something. Be it the target or something else. The range of how long a spear is thrown is limited to how far Immortal can throw.


Abilities:
-Veteran: They've fought in countless wars through the centuries. Even with their fading memory their wartime habits, discipline, and training haven't disappeared.
-RAMSES II: The RAMSES II Combat Suit offers advanced protections from battlefield hazards. Offering level III body armor protection; An advanced breathing control system, allowing advanced chemical and gas protections with a minty fresh smell; And an advanced HUD and Scanner system. The scanner system working both as a flashlight, and a body heat sensor to allow the HUD to better detect individuals.


Equipment:
-2 10mm Glock 20's
-4 15 Round magazines of 10mm ammunition
-Enigma Corporation RAMSES II Combat Suit
-RAMSES II Retractable wrist knife.
-Refillable IV bag.
-Handful of bendy straws.

Weaknesses:

-Stunted Growth: Immortal cannot utilize some common abilities other Vampires hold. Abilities such as climbing up any surface, or converting others into Vampires. The cause of this loss in ability is unknown.

-I Forgot to Remember to Forget: Immortal's memory has faded extremely over the years. At first it was merely forgetting things centuries prior, but now they seemingly have the same memory span as a typical person. This is a mix of natural memory decay, and the fact they're actively suppressing their memories. Regardless this means they have little to no memory of centuries prior, forgetting close friends and fierce enemies alike. This has also carried over into them forgetting many of the languages they once spoke, and having issues speaking even English (their current primary language).

-Shattered Psyche, Tortured Soul: Immortal can and will have panic attacks, freakouts, or meltdowns randomly over seemingly mundane things. While this hasn't carried into battle much, it can still happen even in the worst situations. This has also shown hints of further instability. With hints of them going into self harm territory. With seemingly random damage on both Immortal and the RAMSES II suit.

-Vampiric Weaknesses
(All unlisted weaknesses specified in lore still apply.)
Severe Allicin Allergy: The chemical commonly found as a natural pesticide in Garlic has been proven to result in a fatal allergic reaction from vampires. Even smelling it will result in inflammation of mucous membranes and labored breathing.
Nickel Allergy: A very rapid, very acute, and nigh always fatal nickel allergy. This seems to be the basis of the aversion to silver, as sterling silver can contain traces of nickel, and nickel silver which was common in the 1700s, is not silver, but rather a copper, nickel, and zinc alloy.
Will to Consume: Immortal regularly has to consume raw blood in order to maintain their body. Once a day maintains a rather healthy maintenance, where as a week or two will result in a sufficient decay in abilities. (Quoted from Jager app)

---

Background:

Job: TIAMA Affiliated Hero. Originally stationed with TIAMA ME, but has been reassigned to the US back in 2017.
Legal Status: American Citizenship, Legal Hero status. Multiple military decorations.
Backstory:
Not much if anything is known about Immortal's birth, or their origins. Though genetic profiling and personal accounts have detailed being born roughly a few decades to a century after Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia. Immortal is believed to have been born around Alexandria, Egypt to a Greek family. However other accounts also suggest possible Roman birth. Their actual origins are up for debate, but despite this the consensus is that Immortal has at least been alive since the fall of Alexander's Empire.

Their actual background comes from many personal accounts detailing events in their life. Immortal going into some detail how a major force in their early life was the Ancient Egyptian religion. Causing inspiration, and some... Ritualistic events in their early life. With Immortal hinting at possibly taking part in some ritual that was possibly an origin for some of their abilities. They have not outright confirmed this, nor have they denied it. As their memory is not particularly the best.

Immortal has written and spoken extensively on their careers through the "Ancient Era". All of which being in some warrior or professional soldier work. With them writing with excruciating detail on what the "salting the fields of Carthage" was like. They have shown a particular fondness to service with the Roman Legions. Detailing their love for the many battles they took part in. Including many of Julius Caesar's campaigns in Gaul, or even the Third Century Crisis.

Despite detailed accounts on Immortal's part about their service in Rome, they all seem to go into detail about certain events. One thing that shows in the end of these accounts thought is the fact they departed Rome proper for Egypt. With centuries of change and warfare being long faded memories for Immortal, and being up for speculation among those trying to uncover Immortal's past. One thing Immortal has confirmed after the fall of Rome was that they more or less became a petty raider in Egypt and North Africa. Up until the arrival of the Europeans during the Age of Imperialism.

Their marauding days in North Africa turned to outright rebellion against European powers trying to invade. Leading to multiple bounties being placed on them, and their allies in the region. Bounty hunters never getting close to stopping Immortal, even as centuries passed. These days of nonstop raiding came to a halt when the World Wars began. With Immortal burying the hatchet and aiding the Allied Powers in both WWI and WWII. Not much was really spoken of during the World Wars, besides Immortal meeting "old friends" during the various campaigns. These "friends" have not been identified, and Immortal hasn't gone into much detail.

After the World Wars, Immortal was a major advocate for decolonization in Africa. Even going so far as to volunteer supply runs in the 60's-70's. Primarily for groups like ZANU in Rhodesia, or the MPLA in Angola. This of course putting them on shaky ground with the West, but luckily for Immortal this period ended in the 80's. With an upstart company known as Enigma Industries contacting them. Offering a multitude of things, one of which being security detail. It was a stable position, let them test all sorts of new weapon technology, and kept them from pissing off the West. So of course Immortal accepted.

Their time with Enigma was quite a turning point in their life. Exposing them to the luxuries of "civilized life", and inadvertently causing them to self reflect. This self reflection causing them to remember once suppressed traumas. Traumas they merely ignored using combat as a coping mechanism. Their psyche began a quick and noticeable decline, and saw Immortal outright brutalizing trespassers on Enigma property. This behavior almost brought the law in, up until they met a Dr. Viktor Tesla. Tesla being a voice of reason and kindness in Immortal's life at Enigma. Tesla always being polite, and even offering counseling for the poor tortured mind of Immortal. With Tesla even developing the RAMSES Armor program just for Immortal, as a gift for a friend.

Their friendship would last well until 2009, when Tesla's rampage occurred. With Immortal spending years lacking employment, as Enigma went under after Tesla's rampage. That was until they were approached by TIAMA offering a position due to their colored past, and quite obscure story being revealed to the organization. Immortal officially signed up in 2012, and was immediately sent over the the Middle East as an agent.

During their time in the Middle East, Immortal has reaffirmed their obsession with Ancient Egyptian mythology. Developing their equipment to mirror some old cultural aspects of the long past civilization. Even with these small comforts, the Middle East exposed them to the worst Humanity had to offer. With beheadings, bombings, America's endless warring in the region, mass suicides, grizzly unsolved murders, and endless government corruption taking their toll on Immortal. With them officially applying for relocation in 2015, and only being accepted in 2017. Their relocation to the United States was a huge relief upon them, allowing them to at least have a somewhat normal life again.

Though, their mental health issues that showed all the way back in the 80's-90's would resurface once more. This time much worse. With them having mental breakdowns seemingly at random, screaming fits at night, and unwarranted escalation of force when fighting crime. This lead to them being hit with a probationary period in 2018, lasting until early 2020. With Immortal finally returning to service, with hopes of their stability getting better with new comrades.

Motivations

Goals: To get cannabis legalized in New York, and to finish his community service so that the stress of his debt to society can be taken off of his back for good.
Fears: Life without cannabis. Oh, and assassination. He's on the other side of the country, but gang members are vengeful people, and who knows what could happen if one gets bold. It's why he employs an entire team of bodyguards on a contract basis.

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Dwayne's powers manifested after he was subjected to an experimental medical procedure to treat several medical issues related to his longstanding drug addiction.

Powers:

• Enhanced Condition: Exactly what it says on the tin. Thanks to a combination of genetically enhanced body cells, antibodies in the blood, and a handy organ located inside his digestive system, Dwayne's body is in a constant state of full health. Any foreign or toxic substance that enters his body is broken down and processed through his organ, where it is stored and eventually flushed out of the body through the urinary and excretory systems. This means that he cannot get sick from bacteria and virus-borne pathogens (although genetic disorders such as cancer can still affect him), has a natural resistance to most natural and man-made poisons, and constantly remains in perfect health. As well, as a result of his cells' rapid repair rates, Dwayne possesses peak human-level strength, speed, and endurance. On multiple respective occasions, has proven himself to be able to deadlift over 500 lbs, run at speeds of 25 miles per hour, and survive five-story falls onto concrete with just light injuries. In addition to this, he has a moderate regenerative healing factor, and is able to repair large wounds and broken bones within minutes.
  
  
• Euphoric Fist: An unintended side effect of his therapy has given Dwayne the ability to transfer certain high/euphoria-triggering chemicals and hormones through his own skin and into other objects, usually in the form of a touch or punch. This results in the high or inebriation disappearing from Dwayne's body and transferring into the recipient, who is now under an equal level of influence. For example, let's say Dwayne is drinking heavily at a bar, and gets into a fight. If he punches someone sober in the face the victim will soon find themselves much drunker than they were before, while Dwayne will find himself in a more lucid and clear-minded state. The amount of euphoria transferred depends on several factors, including the chemical levels already present in his body, the surface area of the skin contact, and the length of time for which the contact is maintained.
  
  
• Toxic Secretion: It is important to note that consuming too much of a toxic substance (usually drugs) within too short of a time period can result in his organ "overflowing" with toxins, which he must immediately secrete from the body. Performing this act of secretion causes up to a gallon of an oily, purple-tinged substance to flow out of his mouth, nostrils, ear canals, skin pores, and other openings across his body, spraying uncontrollably until the organ is free of toxic waste. This substance is composed of a combination of natural proteins, dissolving chemicals, and whatever foreign substances have recently been broken down by Dwayne's body, creating an extremely toxic mixture that can be extremely dangerous. For example, if Dwayne was to drink too much one night and overload his organ with alcohol, the resulting stream of oil would have an extremely high level of alcohol present. Touching the liquid is usually relatively safe, but if one ingests the fluid or breathes in the fumes that are formed off of it, they will be exposed to extremely high levels of THC, booze, or whatever else is contained inside the oil, levels that can be potentially lethal to the average human. At the height of his drug addiction, it was enough to stop the heart of an Asian elephant.
  
  
  Abilities: Dwayne is fully fluent in English, and possesses decent competence in both Arabic and Igbo. He is also world-renowned for his skills as an MC, with hip-hop historian James Booker noting his "...impeccable sense of flow, delivery, storytelling, and vocal inflection" in the bestselling book "Rapping: The Art and Science". Oh, and you'd be damned to find someone who can roll a blunt as cleanly and precisely as he can. One would think that smoking so many blunts would make him a liability on the battlefield, but Dwayne actually possesses a decent level of combat intuition. He isn't an expert martial artist by any means, but he knows enough to keep cool and calm in a fight, even when mildly under the influence. He claims that the use of depressants helps subdue his nerves and gives him additional confidence in a fight, but most around him have a sneaking suspicion that he's just gotten acclimatized to fighting while drugged out.
  
  Equipment: He possesses a wide assortment of drugs (primarily depressants) that he can use for a quick pick-me-up in the midst of battle. This includes a durable steel hip-flask, a wide assortment of syringes containing cannabis liquid concentrates of varying degrees of strength, and several tablets containing prescription drugs such as Percocet, Oxycontin, methadone, and codeine. Thankfully, he carries valid prescriptions for all of these, signed as part of clinical trials relating to his past medical treatments.
  
  
  Weaknesses:
• Skin Contact: The Euphoric Fist requires skin-to-skin contact in order to be effective, as the effectiveness of the transfer is decreased when layers of clothing or armor are present. And not just a touch or a poke either, it usually takes roughly three seconds of prolonged contact with a fist or open hand in order to fully transfer all of the high out of Dwayne's body and into the recipient's. Which is great, except for the fact that getting three seconds of prolonged skin-to-contact can be rather...tough. Something like a full grab, hold, or bear-hug is faster, but even more complicated and risky, especially if the conduit is broken before the three seconds have elapsed, in which case both parties will experience mild euphoria instead of one party experiencing strong euphoria. If he needs to, he can siphon the euphoria off into a non-animate object, but that's a waste of power, and forces him to either get high again or rely on his enhanced condition to win.
  
  
• Toxin Overload: Transferring drugs and transferring highs are not one and the same. Dwayne cannot transfer drugs in any state into another's body, only the feelings of euphoria and high that they create. Any drugs he ingests are broken down in a mid-sized organ located in his digestive system, taking the place of his appendix and part of his intestines. If Dwayne's ingests toxins at a faster rate than it can flush out, it can cause the organ to become backed up with dissolved toxins and begin releasing free fluid into the body's internal cavities, eventually diffusing into the bloodstream. As one can imagine, the sheer amount of toxic material that would end up in the body in this circumstance is extremely deadly, and will lead to the immediate and rapid decay of bodily function if the fluid is not promptly secreted by force. If left untreated, it can be fatal. As a result of all this, he can only use his Euphoric Fist so many times, as overusing it can result in him overloading his body very quickly.
  
  
• Walking Hazard: While Dwayne's powers can be extremely useful in battle, they can also pose a serious threat to his teammates. Accidentally touch a fellow hero, or grab them out of reflex? Well, they're higher than a kite now, and completely useless. As well, while his toxic secretion can be a great last resort, and can save Dwayne's life in certain circumstances, it can be extremely dangerous to any allies caught in the crossfire. Even if poison-based friendly fire doesn't occur, the sheer force of the secretion causes Dwayne to become extremely dizzy, light-headed, and weak for several minutes, not returning back to peak fighting form for at least a few hours. Not ideal in a heated fight.
  
  
• Caloric Intake: A relatively minor weakness, but still, one that should be considered. Dwayne's cells are constantly working to repair and maintain his body, and as such, require a significantly larger caloric intake in order to sustain normal functions. If he doesn't consume enough food on a day-to-day basis, his body will begin to lose its enhanced condition, his regenerative healing factor will slow down, and he will lost his resistance to harmful substances, which can be problematic, given his drug consumption.

Background:

Job: Part-Time TIAMA hero...sort of

Legal Status: He has been convicted of several charges in the past, including disorderly conduct, firearm possession, and drug possession. His most recent charge resulted in multiple years of jail time, followed by multiple years of community service that was to be spent performing heroic work as part of TIAMA.

Backstory: What is there to say about Dwayne Okafor, aka D-Wayne, that isn't already known? He's a world-famous rapper, songwriter, actor, businessman, media personality, and most recently, a professional hero. However, he wasn't always that way. Decades ago, he was a simple kid born to a large Nigerian family, selling gum, newspapers, and eventually, cocaine to help make ends meet. Despite his parents' best efforts to keep him off the streets and in school, the young Dwayne was headed on a reckless, gang-filled path, culminating in his first stint in juvenile detention, at the age of 18. The arrest came just five days after he received his high school diploma.

And boy, was it a wake-up call.

Despite his reluctance to let go of his ties to his local gangs, he began to pursue other passions in the hopes of finding an alternative to a college degree that he couldn't afford, and soon stumbled upon the art of rap. Coming out of jail with nothing but the clothes on his back, a notebook full of rhymes, and the thoroughly imaginative stage name of "D-Wayne", he formed the infamous 672 Crew with two of his cousins, and immediately got to work, playing local shows and releasing a steady stream of mixtapes throughout the early 90's. The local buzz they had built up was enough to gain the group several important cosigns, providing enough of a springboard for him to get into the studio and create his first solo album, D-Wayne's World. The project is considered to be a classic in the world of West Coast hip-hop, and helped popularize the spread of gangsta rap and G-funk that would take over by the mid 90's. The pairing of D-Wayne's soft, delicate flowing patterns and cool delivery with hard-edged lyrics spinning tales of violence, misogyny, and drug abuse gave him a unique market appeal, and with the additional promotional and management drive coming out of a record deal with Death Row Records, D-Wayne was soon a household name, his face and voice inescapable in the world of pop culture.

However, not everything was as glamorous as one would believe. Dwayne's refusal to let go of his gangbanging lifestyle, combined with his mounting personal issues, soon began to attract media and paparazzi attention, turning the entire world into witnesses of his fall from grace. His longstanding addiction to cannabis had slowly spiraled into a much more aggressive dependency on alcohol, cocaine, and eventually heroin, destroying his physical health to the point where he was no better than a skeleton draped in human skin. Arrests and charges of firearm and drug possession (including one at an international airport) were making headlines, as were his legal battles for custody of his daughter. Due to conflicts with his label, his album releases got fewer and more far between, each with lukewarm critical reception and commercial sales. By the time the new millenium rolled around, he was washed up and out of luck, appreciated for his iconic status in hip-hop, but not for any of his solo output.

2008 was a life-changing year for the aged rapper. He was arrested for possession of unlicensed firearms, marijuana, and cocaine during a traffic stop, as well as resisting arrest in the direct aftermath of the incident. Despite hiring the best lawyers that money could buy, he was sentenced to five years in prison as part of a plea deal where he would eligible for parole with good behavior, and would be additionally required to seek treatment for his drug issues, due to his rapidly failing health. He had nearly died from a blood infection the previous year, and had recently been diagnosed with an oral infection with the potential to be just as lethal. This was not to mention the countless dermal deformations across his arms and face as a result of snorting and injecting various drugs, and considerable damage to his liver and kidneys. He needed treatment, and he needed it immediately. With whatever money he had left in the bank, he enrolled in an "experimental gene therapy procedure" with a Swiss company known as Medex. The process involved the transplant of a cutting-edge, synthesized organ that acted as a second liver, along with the additional use of gene therapy to increase the strength of healthy cells and strengthen the immune system, allowing Dwayne to take an extended period of time to wean off of drugs without sacrificing his health.

The initial operation went relatively smoothly, but five days after the incident, after injecting a sedative into Dwayne's body in order to test the organ's proficiency in breaking down foreign drugs, a medical emergency occurred. He began convulsing in his hospital bed, foaming at the mouth with a mixture of blood and an oily, thick, purple substance. He soon entered into a state of cardiac arrest, and was rushed to intensive care, where he was placed into a temporary coma. After two days, he finally regained consciousness, and despite being on the brink of death just hours prior, began recovering at a rapid pace, far beyond what the gene therapy had sought to do. The scar tissue on his internal organs and skin began to heal, he began to redevelop staggering amounts of muscle mass, and even was able to naturally fight off his oral infection with the help of a few implants. It was freakishly bizarre, and medical professionals from the world over began knocking on Medex's door for answers.

After a lot of prodding and pinching, it was revealed that Dwayne had developed full-blown superpowers thanks to his medical procedures, and would likely make a full recovery and beyond. After a stint in rehab (which was successful in weaning him off of almost everything aside from marijuana and alcohol), and an early release from prison following 30 months as a model inmate, he was released back into the world, on the condition that he enlist in ten years of community service as a contributing member of any regional division of TIAMA North America. Since then, he has rebuilt his public image in a complete 180-degree turn. He cut ties with his criminal past and moved to New York, promptly joining TIAMA East NA upon arrival. His 2013 comeback album "Return of the D" was critically acclaimed by most major music publications, and charted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Television and film cameo appearances, entrepreneurial ventures, investments, and a dash of public-appeasing philanthropy to various youth sports charities and local churches has rebuilt his fortune and public profile, despite criticism of his criminal past and slightly...eccentric powerset and public persona. Although, luckily for them, it may all be over soon. Dwayne's community service is scheduled to end in three months, and he is now left at a crossroads; tolerate the accusations and grievances of naysayers and continue to pursue heroism or leave it all behind in favor of his lavish, luxurious public persona. Only time will tell what the answer will be.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Biological Vampire

Powers :

Daughter of the Night: Isis is one of the oldest vampires still living, having been alive since the founding of Egypt's Old Kingdom, and is the daughter of two biological vampires. She is the ultimate predator of human beings. With a muscle and bone density greater than that of a human by a significant degree, (the latter due to iron lacing as a result of the stereotypical vampire diet) resulting in a much higher capacity for strength, running speed, and durability. Iron intake results in a higher blood cell production, which in turn results in bright red blood, as well as a much faster gas exchange. Physical capacity includes a punch exceeding that of a .50 BMG round by 1.4 times, lifting weight of 12 tonnes, and running speed of 60 km/h.

Starting with the largest changes, at the front are 32 teeth, the most glaringly changed are the canines, of which are 25mm long. Her jaw can open to a max of 65mm, while her tongue is 190mm long to aid in suction and extends past the normal anchoring point in favor of setting it's anchor where the epiglottis would usually be located in a person, replacing it. This allows Isis to exsanguinate an average sized person in less than 3 minutes, depending on bite location and whether or not arteries are pierced.

Sotepenre's sinus cavities are also separate from that of a baseline human, with portions of the Maxillary sinus being partially replaced by a sinus cavity that is a breeding ground for the virus which affects her own body, as well as the transmission vector for 'vampirism', which have tubes which connect to a pit right behind the canine much like a snake, also like a snake, she can choose not to project such fluids to prevent the transmission of vampirism. This same virus also augments her own immune system resulting in an incredibly hardy resistance to disease, namely the bloodborne pathogens she might regularly come into contact with.

As a result of this virus, Sotepenre also has a capacity for regeneration. Capable of surviving stab wounds, lacerations and gunshots with few issues, only encountering problems from explosions, nickel based alloys, and of course, Garlic, specifically Allicin.

Sight and smell are also greatly enhanced, due to an evolved tapetum lucidum, and tetrachromacy allowing a much better sight in low light or pitch black conditions. The inner walls of Isis' nose have thinned and the presence of much more sensitive olfactory receptors results in a greater sense of smell, capable of smelling hormonal emissions in most humans.

Her hands and feet produce a wax like substance on command which allows usage of Van der Waals force to adhere to walls or ceilings and keep her adhered so long as one of said extremities remains in contact.

Her age has also lent itself to a much more reduced sensitivity to sunlight due to repeated exposure, to the point that she is largely immune to UV exposure.

Dark Conversion: Via viral transmission vector, Sotenpenre is fully capable of converting someone into a vampire with a mere bite, though she very rarely does this, it is capable of allowing someone else to survive a wound that would be fatal... for a price.

Mastery of Magic: Sotenpenre is a master of magical disciplines from all over the world, originating in her time spent learning from the magicians of the Pharohs over many hundreds of years spent in Egypt during the old, middle, and new kingdoms, as well as her travels all over the world in the last four-thousand years of her life. From Egyptian Magic to Chinese mysticism, middle eastern magic to steppe nomad's spiritual, animistic magic, even what magics were practiced by the native peoples and slave populations of the Americas, she has taken the time to master or become familiar with every form of magic she can get her hands on. Simply by virtue of the length of time she has spent practicing and honing her craft, she is possibly one of if not the greatest magic users in the world.

Avatar of Isis: By combining the power of the Khopesh of Horus with the Ankh of Isis, Sotenpenre can take on an enchanted form that increases her physical abilities threefold and grants her a set of iridescent golden wings, granting her a flight speed of 521 Km/H.

Abilities:
High Society Living Due to her long life spent living among the upper echelons of whatever society she finds herself in at the time, Sotenpenre is extremely connected with the elite of the world and has near-inexhaustable resources to call on in terms of money and favors owed.

Polyglot: Sotenpenre knows very nearly every language on earth and more than a few that have gone extinct. She is fluent in most contemperary languages, as well as every form of ancient Egyptian, Aramaic, Mycenaean Greek, Latin, several dead Chinese dialects, and an innumerable amount more.

Combat Experience: Isis is a skilled combatant, though it is not her chief skill and she does not match up to career martial artists.

Equipment:
Ankh of Isis: An ancient, golden Ankh that hangs around Sotenpenre's neck, inscribed with innumerable lines of scrolling hyoglyphics, which subtly morph every few seconds to new shapes and words. The metal glows softly and the air around it wavers with power. This Ankh is Sotenpenre's magical focus, and allows her to cast spells at a speed that could not be reproduced via any other method. She has spent the last 4,000 years enchanting and enhancing the power of this artefact.

Khopesh of Horus: An enchanted, curved bronze blade, with a glowing golden Eye of Horus on the pommel.

Rolls-Royce Phantom III The only car that Sotenpenre ever purchased, and one that she keeps maintained to this day. The car is actually heavily armored, with a much more powerful engine than the standard model.




Weaknesses:
Severe Allicin Allergy: The chemical commonly found as a natural pesticide in Garlic has been proven to result in a fatal allergic reaction from vampires. Even smelling it will result in inflammation of mucous membranes and labored breathing.

Nickel Allergy: A very rapid, very acute, and nigh always fatal nickel allergy. This seems to be the basis of the aversion to silver, as sterling silver can contain traces of nickel, and nickel silver which was common in the 1700s, is not silver, but rather a copper, nickel, and zinc alloy.

Will to Conume: Sotenpenre regularly has to consume raw blood in order to maintain the bodily superiority she has over baseline humans. Once a day maintains a rather healthy maintenance, where as a week or two will result in a sufficient decay in abilities.

Not a Europhile: Due to the long standing prejudices that exist and have existed on the European continent for many centuries, Sotenpenre is notably less practiced in any kind of European magicks. It will be much harder for her to replicate any European styles spells or rituals, and she would have to study to learn how to undo any European enchantments.

---

Background:

Job: Connection maker. She spends her days arranging meetings for powerful people and negotiating deals between them.

Legal Status: TIAMA-afilliated Hero.

Backstory: Sotenpenre is a woman almost as old as human civilization. She was born around the beginning of the Old Kingdom in ancient Egypt, to two semi-important members of the first Pharoh's court who were also of the Vampiric species. and since then has found herself affiliated with high society and power in one way or another. As a young vampire she had her parents poisoned with for attempting to use her in a political arrangement to elevate their own position by limiting her own. She seduced, strategized, and coerced her way into learning magic and mysticism in a time when women were barred from the practice, and used her arcane abilities to secure her position as a member of every Pharoh's court for millennia. She spent her time learning the mechanisms of power, the delicate balance of push and pull that determine the relationships between both people and nations.

She herself was Pharoh of Egypt twice, and used magic and illusion to wipe the minds of the right people to ensure her rule went unchallenged in those cases, and was the wife of several Pharohs. During the time she spent in Egypt she created the Ankh of Isis and the Khopesh of Horus, creating her Avatar of Isis form and becoming the basis for many of the myths surrounding the goddess.

She continued to insert herself in the upper echelons of every great empire and society that rose and fell during the millennia that she lived, from Alexander's grand conquests to the Empire of the Latins. She spent time in Parthia and several Chinese dynasties, absorbing their culture, language and arcane practices as she accumulated wealth and connections that spread over eons. Sotenpenre lived a life of decadence, one that she had very little occasion to change unless the nation that she was currently exploiting managed to fall. The vampire began to count the passing of the years in the lifespan of nations, rather than changing of the seasons.

She largely stayed out of the affairs of Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire--she could not stand the abject destitution that most of the continent existed in, and the smell was far too much to bear. How those pale-skinned savages could go from Roman bathouses to bathing in the river a few times a month, she could never quite comprehend.

She did, however, engage in politics in the large middle eastern and African empires, finding their temperment and smell far more pleasant than the rough living of the Europeans. She never did catch on to the whole monotheistic craze the region went through after the fall of the Romans, and only played the part of a faithful to maintain public image. Privately, she still worshiped the gods of her youth.

She has begun to become reinvigorated over these last four centuries, due to the amazing speed of mankind's technological progress. She moved to the Americas in the mid-1720's, living for a long time in the port city of Nouvelle Orléans and establishing herself as a free black woman of African heritage and quite some means. Even the most extremely racist members of the time's high society dared not cross her for threat of having their reputations ruined. Sotenpenre spent much of her time there extending her tendrils into every aspect of American high society and aristocracy, making sure that she was always on the right side of history and no matter what happened in local politics, she remained safe. From that point, she has spent her time expanding her influence over the globe and helping her adopted nation when and where she can... when it benefits her, of course.

In 2005, when Vampires were revealed to the wider world, she was hesitant about exposing herself to the wider world. Still, recently, she has signed up with the hero organization TIAMA out of a desire to see how it feels to play the hero for once.

Fears: Any mentioning of Caligula, accidentally killing people in a mental breakdown, news from the Middle East, and the sight of Dr. Tesla's compliance regulator.

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Vampire, and Ancient Ritual
Powers :
-"Biological" Vampire: (Read the Vampires lore entry for most details) Physical capacity includes a punch exceeding that of a .50 BMG round by 1.5 times, lifting weight of 14 tonnes, running speed of 65 km/h. (Quoted from Anowa's Jager app) Years of sun exposure have significantly dampened the negative effects the sun has on Immortal. Along with all of these, they also hold the typical Vampiric regeneration many others of her kind have.

-Book of the Dead: In an area of 5 meters they may summon a pool of "ooze". Which allows them to bring up a multitude of humanoid individuals to grab, slow down, or outright attack enemies in this radius. The humanoids are fairly weak, only serving as more of a hindrance than an actual threat even to the most incompetent of enemies. The real danger of this power arises in the ability for the ooze to envelop and potentially drown individuals, adding their likeness to the humanoids screaming within.

-Long Arm of Death: If Book of the Dead is being used, Immortal can reach into the ooze and produce up to 5 jagged chitin/bone spears. The spears do not dissipate if within the 5 meter radius of Book of the Dead. If thrown out of the radius of Book of the Dead, the spears will dissipate only when it hits something. Be it the target or something else. The range of how long a spear is thrown is limited to how far Immortal can throw.


Abilities:
-Veteran: They've fought in countless wars through the centuries. Even with their fading memory their wartime habits, discipline, and training haven't disappeared.
-RAMSES II: The RAMSES II Combat Suit offers advanced protections from battlefield hazards. Offering level III body armor protection; An advanced breathing control system, allowing advanced chemical and gas protections with a minty fresh smell; And an advanced HUD and Scanner system. The scanner system working both as a flashlight, and a body heat sensor to allow the HUD to better detect individuals.


Equipment:
-2 10mm Glock 20's
-4 15 Round magazines of 10mm ammunition
-Enigma Corporation RAMSES II Combat Suit
-RAMSES II Retractable wrist knife.
-Refillable IV bag.
-Handful of bendy straws.

Weaknesses:

-Stunted Growth: Immortal cannot utilize some common abilities other Vampires hold. Abilities such as climbing up any surface, or converting others into Vampires. The cause of this loss in ability is unknown.

-I Forgot to Remember to Forget: Immortal's memory has faded extremely over the years. At first it was merely forgetting things centuries prior, but now they seemingly have the same memory span as a typical person. This is a mix of natural memory decay, and the fact they're actively suppressing their memories. Regardless this means they have little to no memory of centuries prior, forgetting close friends and fierce enemies alike. This has also carried over into them forgetting many of the languages they once spoke, and having issues speaking even English (their current primary language).

-Shattered Psyche, Tortured Soul: Immortal can and will have panic attacks, freakouts, or meltdowns randomly over seemingly mundane things. While this hasn't carried into battle much, it can still happen even in the worst situations. This has also shown hints of further instability. With hints of them going into self harm territory. With seemingly random damage on both Immortal and the RAMSES II suit.

-Vampiric Weaknesses
(All unlisted weaknesses specified in lore still apply.)
Severe Allicin Allergy: The chemical commonly found as a natural pesticide in Garlic has been proven to result in a fatal allergic reaction from vampires. Even smelling it will result in inflammation of mucous membranes and labored breathing.
Nickel Allergy: A very rapid, very acute, and nigh always fatal nickel allergy. This seems to be the basis of the aversion to silver, as sterling silver can contain traces of nickel, and nickel silver which was common in the 1700s, is not silver, but rather a copper, nickel, and zinc alloy.
Will to Consume: Immortal regularly has to consume raw blood in order to maintain their body. Once a day maintains a rather healthy maintenance, where as a week or two will result in a sufficient decay in abilities. (Quoted from Jager app)

Background:

Job: TIAMA Affiliated Hero. Originally stationed with TIAMA ME, but has been reassigned to the US back in 2017.
Legal Status: American Citizenship, Legal Hero status. Multiple military decorations.
Backstory:
Not much if anything is known about Immortal's birth, or their origins. Though genetic profiling and personal accounts have detailed being born roughly a few decades to a century after Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia. Immortal is believed to have been born around Alexandria, Egypt to a Greek family. However other accounts also suggest possible Roman birth. Their actual origins are up for debate, but despite this the consensus is that Immortal has at least been alive since the fall of Alexander's Empire.

Their actual background comes from many personal accounts detailing events in their life. Immortal going into some detail how a major force in their early life was the Ancient Egyptian religion. Causing inspiration, and some... Ritualistic events in their early life. With Immortal hinting at possibly taking part in some ritual that was possibly an origin for some of their abilities. They have not outright confirmed this, nor have they denied it. As their memory is not particularly the best.

Immortal has written and spoken extensively on their careers through the "Ancient Era". All of which being in some warrior or professional soldier work. With them writing with excruciating detail on what the "salting the fields of Carthage" was like. They have shown a particular fondness to service with the Roman Legions. Detailing their love for the many battles they took part in. Including many of Julius Caesar's campaigns in Gaul, or even the Third Century Crisis.

Despite detailed accounts on Immortal's part about their service in Rome, they all seem to go into detail about certain events. One thing that shows in the end of these accounts thought is the fact they departed Rome proper for Egypt. With centuries of change and warfare being long faded memories for Immortal, and being up for speculation among those trying to uncover Immortal's past. One thing Immortal has confirmed after the fall of Rome was that they more or less became a petty raider in Egypt and North Africa. Up until the arrival of the Europeans during the Age of Imperialism.

Their marauding days in North Africa turned to outright rebellion against European powers trying to invade. Leading to multiple bounties being placed on them, and their allies in the region. Bounty hunters never getting close to stopping Immortal, even as centuries passed. These days of nonstop raiding came to a halt when the World Wars began. With Immortal burying the hatchet and aiding the Allied Powers in both WWI and WWII. Not much was really spoken of during the World Wars, besides Immortal meeting "old friends" during the various campaigns. These "friends" have not been identified, and Immortal hasn't gone into much detail.

After the World Wars, Immortal was a major advocate for decolonization in Africa. Even going so far as to volunteer supply runs in the 60's-70's. Primarily for groups like ZANU in Rhodesia, or the MPLA in Angola. This of course putting them on shaky ground with the West, but luckily for Immortal this period ended in the 80's. With an upstart company known as Enigma Industries contacting them. Offering a multitude of things, one of which being security detail. It was a stable position, let them test all sorts of new weapon technology, and kept them from pissing off the West. So of course Immortal accepted.

Their time with Enigma was quite a turning point in their life. Exposing them to the luxuries of "civilized life", and inadvertently causing them to self reflect. This self reflection causing them to remember once suppressed traumas. Traumas they merely ignored using combat as a coping mechanism. Their psyche began a quick and noticeable decline, and saw Immortal outright brutalizing trespassers on Enigma property. This behavior almost brought the law in, up until they met a Dr. Viktor Tesla. Tesla being a voice of reason and kindness in Immortal's life at Enigma. Tesla always being polite, and even offering counseling for the poor tortured mind of Immortal. With Tesla even developing the RAMSES Armor program just for Immortal, as a gift for a friend.

Their friendship would last well until 2009, when Tesla's rampage occurred. With Immortal spending years lacking employment, as Enigma went under after Tesla's rampage. That was until they were approached by TIAMA offering a position due to their colored past, and quite obscure story being revealed to the organization. Immortal officially signed up in 2012, and was immediately sent over the the Middle East as an agent.

During their time in the Middle East, Immortal has reaffirmed their obsession with Ancient Egyptian mythology. Developing their equipment to mirror some old cultural aspects of the long past civilization. Even with these small comforts, the Middle East exposed them to the worst Humanity had to offer. With beheadings, bombings, America's endless warring in the region, mass suicides, grizzly unsolved murders, and endless government corruption taking their toll on Immortal. With them officially applying for relocation in 2015, and only being accepted in 2017. Their relocation to the United States was a huge relief upon them, allowing them to at least have a somewhat normal life again.

Though, their mental health issues that showed all the way back in the 80's-90's would resurface once more. This time much worse. With them having mental breakdowns seemingly at random, screaming fits at night, and unwarranted escalation of force when fighting crime. This lead to them being hit with a probationary period in 2018, lasting until early 2020. With Immortal finally returning to service, with hopes of their stability getting better with new comrades.

Accepted.

Motivations

Goals: To get cannabis legalized in New York, and to finish his community service so that the stress of his debt to society can be taken off of his back for good.
Fears: Life without cannabis. Oh, and assassination. He's on the other side of the country, but gang members are vengeful people, and who knows what could happen if one gets bold. It's why he employs an entire team of bodyguards on a contract basis.

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Dwayne's powers manifested after he was subjected to an experimental medical procedure to treat several medical issues related to his longstanding drug addiction.

Powers:

• Enhanced Condition: Exactly what it says on the tin. Thanks to a combination of genetically enhanced body cells, antibodies in the blood, and a handy organ located inside his digestive system, Dwayne's body is in a constant state of full health. Any foreign or toxic substance that enters his body is broken down and processed through his organ, where it is stored and eventually flushed out of the body through the urinary and excretory systems. This means that he cannot get sick from bacteria and virus-borne pathogens (although genetic disorders such as cancer can still affect him), has a natural resistance to most natural and man-made poisons, and constantly remains in perfect health. As well, as a result of his cells' rapid repair rates, Dwayne possesses peak human-level strength, speed, and endurance. On multiple respective occasions, has proven himself to be able to deadlift over 500 lbs, run at speeds of 25 miles per hour, and survive five-story falls onto concrete with just light injuries. In addition to this, he has a moderate regenerative healing factor, and is able to repair large wounds and broken bones within minutes.
  
  
• Euphoric Fist: An unintended side effect of his therapy has given Dwayne the ability to transfer certain high/euphoria-triggering chemicals and hormones through his own skin and into other objects, usually in the form of a touch or punch. This results in the high or inebriation disappearing from Dwayne's body and transferring into the recipient, who is now under an equal level of influence. For example, let's say Dwayne is drinking heavily at a bar, and gets into a fight. If he punches someone sober in the face the victim will soon find themselves much drunker than they were before, while Dwayne will find himself in a more lucid and clear-minded state. The amount of euphoria transferred depends on several factors, including the chemical levels already present in his body, the surface area of the skin contact, and the length of time for which the contact is maintained.
  
  
• Toxic Secretion: It is important to note that consuming too much of a toxic substance (usually drugs) within too short of a time period can result in his organ "overflowing" with toxins, which he must immediately secrete from the body. Performing this act of secretion causes up to a gallon of an oily, purple-tinged substance to flow out of his mouth, nostrils, ear canals, skin pores, and other openings across his body, spraying uncontrollably until the organ is free of toxic waste. This substance is composed of a combination of natural proteins, dissolving chemicals, and whatever foreign substances have recently been broken down by Dwayne's body, creating an extremely toxic mixture that can be extremely dangerous. For example, if Dwayne was to drink too much one night and overload his organ with alcohol, the resulting stream of oil would have an extremely high level of alcohol present. Touching the liquid is usually relatively safe, but if one ingests the fluid or breathes in the fumes that are formed off of it, they will be exposed to extremely high levels of THC, booze, or whatever else is contained inside the oil, levels that can be potentially lethal to the average human. At the height of his drug addiction, it was enough to stop the heart of an Asian elephant.
  
  
  Abilities: Dwayne is fully fluent in English, and possesses decent competence in both Arabic and Igbo. He is also world-renowned for his skills as an MC, with hip-hop historian James Booker noting his "...impeccable sense of flow, delivery, storytelling, and vocal inflection" in the bestselling book "Rapping: The Art and Science". Oh, and you'd be damned to find someone who can roll a blunt as cleanly and precisely as he can. One would think that smoking so many blunts would make him a liability on the battlefield, but Dwayne actually possesses a decent level of combat intuition. He isn't an expert martial artist by any means, but he knows enough to keep cool and calm in a fight, even when mildly under the influence. He claims that the use of depressants helps subdue his nerves and gives him additional confidence in a fight, but most around him have a sneaking suspicion that he's just gotten acclimatized to fighting while drugged out.
  
  Equipment: He possesses a wide assortment of drugs (primarily depressants) that he can use for a quick pick-me-up in the midst of battle. This includes a durable steel hip-flask, a wide assortment of syringes containing cannabis liquid concentrates of varying degrees of strength, and several tablets containing prescription drugs such as Percocet, Oxycontin, methadone, and codeine. Thankfully, he carries valid prescriptions for all of these, signed as part of clinical trials relating to his past medical treatments.
  
  
  Weaknesses:
• Skin Contact: The Euphoric Fist requires skin-to-skin contact in order to be effective, as the effectiveness of the transfer is decreased when layers of clothing or armor are present. And not just a touch or a poke either, it usually takes roughly three seconds of prolonged contact with a fist or open hand in order to fully transfer all of the high out of Dwayne's body and into the recipient's. Which is great, except for the fact that getting three seconds of prolonged skin-to-contact can be rather...tough. Something like a full grab, hold, or bear-hug is faster, but even more complicated and risky, especially if the conduit is broken before the three seconds have elapsed, in which case both parties will experience mild euphoria instead of one party experiencing strong euphoria. If he needs to, he can siphon the euphoria off into a non-animate object, but that's a waste of power, and forces him to either get high again or rely on his enhanced condition to win.
  
  
• Toxin Overload: Transferring drugs and transferring highs are not one and the same. Dwayne cannot transfer drugs in any state into another's body, only the feelings of euphoria and high that they create. Any drugs he ingests are broken down in a mid-sized organ located in his digestive system, taking the place of his appendix and part of his intestines. If Dwayne's ingests toxins at a faster rate than it can flush out, it can cause the organ to become backed up with dissolved toxins and begin releasing free fluid into the body's internal cavities, eventually diffusing into the bloodstream. As one can imagine, the sheer amount of toxic material that would end up in the body in this circumstance is extremely deadly, and will lead to the immediate and rapid decay of bodily function if the fluid is not promptly secreted by force. If left untreated, it can be fatal. As a result of all this, he can only use his Euphoric Fist so many times, as overusing it can result in him overloading his body very quickly.
  
  
• Walking Hazard: While Dwayne's powers can be extremely useful in battle, they can also pose a serious threat to his teammates. Accidentally touch a fellow hero, or grab them out of reflex? Well, they're higher than a kite now, and completely useless. As well, while his toxic secretion can be a great last resort, and can save Dwayne's life in certain circumstances, it can be extremely dangerous to any allies caught in the crossfire. Even if poison-based friendly fire doesn't occur, the sheer force of the secretion causes Dwayne to become extremely dizzy, light-headed, and weak for several minutes, not returning back to peak fighting form for at least a few hours. Not ideal in a heated fight.
  
  
• Caloric Intake: A relatively minor weakness, but still, one that should be considered. Dwayne's cells are constantly working to repair and maintain his body, and as such, require a significantly larger caloric intake in order to sustain normal functions. If he doesn't consume enough food on a day-to-day basis, his body will begin to lose its enhanced condition, his regenerative healing factor will slow down, and he will lost his resistance to harmful substances, which can be problematic, given his drug consumption.

Background:

Job: Part-Time TIAMA hero...sort of

Legal Status: He has been convicted of several charges in the past, including disorderly conduct, firearm possession, and drug possession. His most recent charge resulted in multiple years of jail time, followed by multiple years of community service that was to be spent performing heroic work as part of TIAMA.

Backstory: What is there to say about Dwayne Okafor, aka D-Wayne, that isn't already known? He's a world-famous rapper, songwriter, actor, businessman, media personality, and most recently, a professional hero. However, he wasn't always that way. Decades ago, he was a simple kid born to a large Nigerian family, selling gum, newspapers, and eventually, cocaine to help make ends meet. Despite his parents' best efforts to keep him off the streets and in school, the young Dwayne was headed on a reckless, gang-filled path, culminating in his first stint in juvenile detention, at the age of 18. The arrest came just five days after he received his high school diploma.

And boy, was it a wake-up call.

Despite his reluctance to let go of his ties to his local gangs, he began to pursue other passions in the hopes of finding an alternative to a college degree that he couldn't afford, and soon stumbled upon the art of rap. Coming out of jail with nothing but the clothes on his back, a notebook full of rhymes, and the thoroughly imaginative stage name of "D-Wayne", he formed the infamous 672 Crew with two of his cousins, and immediately got to work, playing local shows and releasing a steady stream of mixtapes throughout the early 90's. The local buzz they had built up was enough to gain the group several important cosigns, providing enough of a springboard for him to get into the studio and create his first solo album, D-Wayne's World. The project is considered to be a classic in the world of West Coast hip-hop, and helped popularize the spread of gangsta rap and G-funk that would take over by the mid 90's. The pairing of D-Wayne's soft, delicate flowing patterns and cool delivery with hard-edged lyrics spinning tales of violence, misogyny, and drug abuse gave him a unique market appeal, and with the additional promotional and management drive coming out of a record deal with Death Row Records, D-Wayne was soon a household name, his face and voice inescapable in the world of pop culture.

However, not everything was as glamorous as one would believe. Dwayne's refusal to let go of his gangbanging lifestyle, combined with his mounting personal issues, soon began to attract media and paparazzi attention, turning the entire world into witnesses of his fall from grace. His longstanding addiction to cannabis had slowly spiraled into a much more aggressive dependency on alcohol, cocaine, and eventually heroin, destroying his physical health to the point where he was no better than a skeleton draped in human skin. Arrests and charges of firearm and drug possession (including one at an international airport) were making headlines, as were his legal battles for custody of his daughter. Due to conflicts with his label, his album releases got fewer and more far between, each with lukewarm critical reception and commercial sales. By the time the new millenium rolled around, he was washed up and out of luck, appreciated for his iconic status in hip-hop, but not for any of his solo output.

2008 was a life-changing year for the aged rapper. He was arrested for possession of unlicensed firearms, marijuana, and cocaine during a traffic stop, as well as resisting arrest in the direct aftermath of the incident. Despite hiring the best lawyers that money could buy, he was sentenced to five years in prison as part of a plea deal where he would eligible for parole with good behavior, and would be additionally required to seek treatment for his drug issues, due to his rapidly failing health. He had nearly died from a blood infection the previous year, and had recently been diagnosed with an oral infection with the potential to be just as lethal. This was not to mention the countless dermal deformations across his arms and face as a result of snorting and injecting various drugs, and considerable damage to his liver and kidneys. He needed treatment, and he needed it immediately. With whatever money he had left in the bank, he enrolled in an "experimental gene therapy procedure" with a Swiss company known as Medex. The process involved the transplant of a cutting-edge, synthesized organ that acted as a second liver, along with the additional use of gene therapy to increase the strength of healthy cells and strengthen the immune system, allowing Dwayne to take an extended period of time to wean off of drugs without sacrificing his health.

The initial operation went relatively smoothly, but five days after the incident, after injecting a sedative into Dwayne's body in order to test the organ's proficiency in breaking down foreign drugs, a medical emergency occurred. He began convulsing in his hospital bed, foaming at the mouth with a mixture of blood and an oily, thick, purple substance. He soon entered into a state of cardiac arrest, and was rushed to intensive care, where he was placed into a temporary coma. After two days, he finally regained consciousness, and despite being on the brink of death just hours prior, began recovering at a rapid pace, far beyond what the gene therapy had sought to do. The scar tissue on his internal organs and skin began to heal, he began to redevelop staggering amounts of muscle mass, and even was able to naturally fight off his oral infection with the help of a few implants. It was freakishly bizarre, and medical professionals from the world over began knocking on Medex's door for answers.

After a lot of prodding and pinching, it was revealed that Dwayne had developed full-blown superpowers thanks to his medical procedures, and would likely make a full recovery and beyond. After a stint in rehab (which was successful in weaning him off of almost everything aside from marijuana and alcohol), and an early release from prison following 30 months as a model inmate, he was released back into the world, on the condition that he enlist in ten years of community service as a contributing member of any regional division of TIAMA North America. Since then, he has rebuilt his public image in a complete 180-degree turn. He cut ties with his criminal past and moved to New York, promptly joining TIAMA East NA upon arrival. His 2013 comeback album "Return of the D" was critically acclaimed by most major music publications, and charted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Television and film cameo appearances, entrepreneurial ventures, investments, and a dash of public-appeasing philanthropy to various youth sports charities and local churches has rebuilt his fortune and public profile, despite criticism of his criminal past and slightly...eccentric powerset and public persona. Although, luckily for them, it may all be over soon. Dwayne's community service is scheduled to end in three months, and he is now left at a crossroads; tolerate the accusations and grievances of naysayers and continue to pursue heroism or leave it all behind in favor of his lavish, luxurious public persona. Only time will tell what the answer will be.

Accepted.

[Remnants of Exilvania]

So, since we've had the very specifically biological vampires in our lore, I've been working a bit on specifically magical vampires. Created a small lore excerpt in the vein of the one we have on the Biovampires.

Magical Vampires
Yet despite many popular myths not having the desired portion of truth to them when it comes to biological vampires, it is best to not discount them either as there are more creatures out there stalking the night than just biological vampires and Dhampirs. For as long as man could think in complex patterns and find solutions to its problems, there has always been one gnawing problem for him. The issue of his own mortality. And for as long as man could think he has tried to solve this problem in one way or another, to attain immortality.

Many humans fail in their quest for immortality, sometimes extending their lifespan a little but most often shortening it, getting consumed in accidents or the like pertaining to their often dark and dangerous world. Some very few manage to attain the immortality they desire, mostly by accident. Some others gain immortality as undead liches, far from their desired state...and yet others again find it within vampirism.

The path to magical vampirism is never a straight one and rarely what those who set out upon it actually imagined as their destination. Most who acquired their vampirism not from a vampire but another source did so by offering pacts to dark otherdimensional beings for power and eternal life, offering up their own immortal souls in their craven quest.

These soulless, undead beings who are generally also referred to as Vampires seek out blood, the essence and souls of mortals to gorge on to supplant the life and soul they are missing. Yet they are never able to replace what they have given up, their mortal life and immortal soul for their eternal life, and as such feel an eternal hunger they may never slake, regardless how much they try.

Their numbers equally small to the 'biological vampires', the 'magical vampires' have the following traits:

• Undead. Many of the magical vampires died in order to embrace their new unlife and as such lack many of the needs or wants of a biological body. As such they tend to not breathe and do not get sick anymore nor do they die when shot at or slashed at, requiring someone to lop off their head or burn their bodies. The stake to the heart is unnecessary as any tool can be driven into their heart, leading only to paralysis of their bodies, not their death. They also have a horrible breath, betraying their rotten core, and filling any place they stay in for too long with the stench of decaying corpses.
  
• Blood addicted. These vampires do not so much need blood as they crave it. They crave it because only the act of drinking it soothes the emptiness inside them, the craving they feel for something to fill this dark void. Yet they do not need it to sustain their functions, only their youth as they grow older and more wrinkled the longer they go without blood. However, most do as the craving is bad and trying to abstain for too long drives one mad.
  
• Nocturnal. Like their biological counterparts, the magical vampires prefer to go about their business at night, when they are at their strongest. And a magic induced night vision, showing itself within their faintly glowing red eyes, ensures that they do not suffer any drawbacks there. Much like their biological counterparts, the magical vampires are well capable of walking in the daylight though they will lose all their supernatural power when doing so, becoming what they physically look like. They must however have already killed and consumed someone else's soul and life force and not have it used already, as their daywalking costs them a soul and life force to send to whatever dark backer they made a deal with and if they cannot provide, their bodies catch fire before becoming ash. However, it must be noted that VERY much unlike their biological counterparts, it is not the sunlight that drains them but the very fact that it is day. Even in dark tunnels or on rainy days, they will be drained of their power if they dare to walk during it.
  
• Coffin Sleep. To avoid using up what souls and life force they have stolen during the night in the day, the vampires have to sleep within the soil from where they were buried. Usually they do so within coffins filled with that soil. Said sleep is also no normal sleep since the undead to not require true sleep. It is instead more of a death-like state in which the vampire returns to the grave it belongs to during the day. They only wake at nightfall.
  
• Elongated canine teeth. These vampires also possess the stereotypical vampire fangs, perfect to break deep into the flesh of their prey and cause bleeding wounds from which to suckle.
  
  
• Stolen strength. Consuming and killing a human, the vampires temporarily gain strength. With each victim that strength rises untill a maximum strength cap of a 60 metric tons lifting strength, usually reached when draining approximately 30 victims of their blood and soul within a short timespan. Their regular strength sits at 1 metric ton.
  
• Invisible. Every legend has a truth at its core and while the lack of shadows or reflections does not apply to biological vampires, it very much does to the magical vampires on accord of their lack of a soul. They do not have a reflection on reflective surfaces. However, they do have a shadow, yet it is a shadow much unlike their physical appearance, betraying their true, corpse like nature.
  
• Water Aversion. Vampires cannot swim, sinking like a stone to the bottom of any body of water deeper than their height. Their bodies simply appear like lead to them, sinking ever deeper and they cannot use their powers or their magics to free themselves, being trapped underwater.
  
• Aversion to all things holy. Being soulless beings, objects of faith, the belief in rebirth or a higher plane repulses them at their very core as they have sold their souls in their efforts to remain within this plane, within this same mortal shell.
  
• Blood Magicians. Most magical vampires already were capable occultists, wizards, sorcerors or magicians in life as they needed those skills to become vampires in the first place. However, by becoming a vampire, they all become much more attuned with magic...more precisely, with the power of blood and life force and as they consume more and more of those, they amass a large wealth of life force within them which they use to fuel their sorcery and magic.
  
• Feeding Trance. Upon being being bitten by a vampire, their victim goes into a trance within which they follow the vampires command untill reawakening later, weakened and alone without memory of where they have been. The trance, unless lengthened through continued biting and sucking, lasts only around 15 minutes and, when the Vampire has left, can be broken earlier by outside influences.

Character Description

Name: Taela M'reen

Aliases: Taela Masters, Miss Majestic

Gender: Female

Age: 35 Terran Years.

Appearance:


Taela M'reen stands at 6'4'' (6'7'' in her battlesuit), with an athletic build and sharply defined muscles.

---

Motivations

Goals: Keep the culture of Mutera alive, help people where she can.

Fears: Discovering that she truly is the last of her race. Lorissians finding her.

---

Strengths and Weaknesses

Source of Power: Alien Biology

Powers :
Living Generator: Due to Taela's unique biology, she produces a massive amount of energy in a manner that is similar to a fusion reactor. She can also absorb energy from other sources, though charging her body with over 4,500 megawatts can cause the power to explode out from her in a blast that can destroy everything within a 250 meter radius. Without her battle suit, Taela can only absorb energy through physical contact with her palms.

Starblasts: Taela is capable of converting the energy in her body into blasts of raw power capable of demolishing up to three feet of concrete, and hot enough to turn stone into slag. She is capable of modulating how much energy goes into the blasts, meaning that she can do anything from injure to evaporate a normal human.

Super-Strength: Taela can lift up to 100 tons if she is straining herself to her limit.

Flight: By manipulating her personal gravity with the suit she wears, Taela can fly up to 500 miles per hour.

Super Durability: Due to her alien biology, Taela is far more durable than most. She can withstand her own strength's effects on her body, and can support up to 100 tons for a short time without significant injury.

Abilities:
Kulkor Master: A martial art from Mutera which focuses on solid, powerful strikes, grapples, locks, breaks, and throws that use the opponent's mass against them, designed for use in zero gravity or in flight. It also combines the energy projection of the Muterans with the actual martial arts. It is taught to all members of the Muteran royal family, and as the Princess, Taela has trained in this art from the time she was a young girl.

Linguist: Taela is fairly proficient at several alien languages and english, though she does have a noticeably exotic accent when she speaks.

Classical Education: Taela received a classical eduaction on her home world, which included mathematics, literature, astrophysics, diplomacy and governance, linguistics, and computer coding.

Equipment:
Royal Battlesuit: The armor of the royal family of Mutera, which allows her to absorb energy from anywhere on her body rather than only with her hands and manipulate her own personal gravity for flight. It feeds off of the energy produced by Taela, and uses that energy to power its gravity manipulation. The suit itself is resistant to most small arms fire, though calibers above 7.62×39mm can cause injury, and 50 Caliber bullets can penetrate the suit entirely. The suit is contained in a small device that looks like a high-tech wrist watch, and spreads over her body when she presses a button on the device.

ISS August Dawn: The princess's private vessel that she escaped the occupation of her home world in. The ship is all curving lines and sleek edges, evoking a feeling of flowing water. The vessel is capable of FTL travel up to 20,000 times the speed of light within a galaxy. The vessel is only large enough to house one person, and contains a stasis system to keep the occupant alive until it reaches its destination. It possesses no armament, instead focusing all of its power into its engine systems.

Weaknesses:
Molybdenum Allergy: Direct contact with molybdenum can suppress her powers and physically weaken her, up to the point of death over prolonged exposure. If molybdenum gets into her bloodstream it can cause an anaphylactic reaction.

Biochemical Incompatability: None of the food on Earth actually provides her substenance, and worse, it may kill her. Due to this, she was forced to take the food processor from the August Dawn and bring it into her home, in order to create food that she can eat.

Low Power: Overusing her abilities can cause her to lose them for up to 24 hours, depending on how thoroughly she depletes her energy level.

Background:

Job: Reporter for the New York Times

Legal Status: TIAMA-Afilliated hero, legal alien with asylum status

Backstory:
Taela M'reen was born as the first daughter of the ruling M'reen family of the planet Mutera. She was beloved by her parents and her people, and spent her early life living in extreme luxury. She was afforded the best education that could be acquired by the space-faring empire that had been built by her family over the course of hundreds of years. She trained in the martial art of the royal family, Kulkor, and trained in use of the royal battlesuit that had been made for her as an infant and grew with her. Taela assumed that she would continue her entire life like this, and grow up to inherit the crown of the Muteran Empress when her parents passed.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans.

When she was 15 Terran years of age, or 16 rels in her world's accounting, her family's empire was set upon by a race of ravenous, power-hungry marauders known as Lorissians. The species was a reptillian, cunning species with a high birthrate and no compunctions when it came to killing anyone and everyone who stood in the way of their expansion. While the Muterans had the technological advantage, the Lorissians had numbers in such magnitude that her family's nation could not possibly hope to hold out for long. Still, they fought long and hard, making the bloodthirsty barbarians pay for every inch of ground lost, right up to the steps of the Imperial Palace. Taela's father put her in her ship with her battlesuit in the cargohold and set a course for her as far away from the doomed world as he could, hoping to save her life and preserve the culture of the Empire in the heir to its throne.

Which is how the young princess found herself flying away from her burning world in a vessel faster than anything the Lorissians could hope to match and placed into stasis as she hurtled through the dark space between stars. For many weeks she hurtled through the inky blackness of deep space, locked in suspended animation until her ship's sensor system was alerted to a nearby Garden World with a native population not too dissimilar in appearance from her homeworld. Best of all, it was a Developing world, which meant that the Lorissians wouldn't dare follow her to it. She would be safe.

Taela was awoken from stasis and informed of the nearby world, which she immediately set course for. Her descent into the atmosphere was picked up by every radar system in North America, and she was swiftly intercepted by two native atmospheric vessels that began to squawk orders at her via primitive radio-frequency messages. Luckily, the universal translator was still working, and her computer systems managed to translate the communications into her native language.

She communicated her identity and her request for asylum, and was directed to land at a place called Nellis Air Force Base. She followed the atmospheric craft to the base and landed in the primitive hanger that she was directed to, and spent the next three years in the tender care of the United States Government. The princess was treated fairly well, though she did get the distinct impression that the information she was being fed was designed to influence her opinion to regard the relatively large nation-state as the greatest, but she grin and bore it until they decided to set her up with the identity of Taela Masters and a small nest egg, as well as an apartment in a large, dirty coastal city they called New York.

She lived in relative quiet, getting a job with a local newspaper named the New York Post and keeping under the radar, until the incident in New York revealed the existence of extra-normal individuals to the world. With the excuse of the new class of people, Superheroes, allowing her to don her Battle Suit and display the powers and abilities she had been born with, Taela leapt into the roll that opened up for her. She became Miss Majestic, and has spent the last decade and a half using her powers to help people where she can, hoping that no one will ever have to experience the hopelessness she felt while watching her world burn from the safety of her ship.
