Story as of Episode 2:
The NEW gang met up in San Francisco and, after a few squabbles (And discovering that Elisa and Sharon mix about as well as water and oil), they headed off to Chicago. Along the way, in Denver, something happened that involved Sharon copying Elisa's powers, angering the latter. (But that's a Noodle Incident and is not to be discussed in much detail.) Once in Chicago, they took an entire floor of the

Height: 5'9
Weight: 135 lbs
General Appearance/pic:
Powers/abilities: Able to create illusions both 'soft' (Intangible) and 'hard' (Tangible)

Name: Melaniya Peshchera
Age: 20
Species: Archangel
Height: 5'11
Weight: 85 lbs (Light bones reduce weight significantly)
General Appearance/pic:
This, only blonde.
Powers/abilities: Generic archangely powers, is nearly invincible, control over nuclear reactions, flight. However, her powers aren't very practical, as they are more good at destroying everything than a specific target. So she often chooses not to use them.
Short bio (optional): Mel was a mid-class archangel, who often was sent to Earth to check on how things were going for a year or two. Or four. This is one of those periods, and it may last longer, considering that the higher-ups in Heaven aren't too happy about the new law in Europe.

Name: Sharon Hendrick
Age: 24
Species: Super
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 130 lbs
General Appearance/pic:
Powers/abilities: Strength, durability, able to copy the powers and memories of others (Memory works like Rogue from X-men, powers are slowly copied over time), immortality
Short bio (optional): Born in the heart of the South, she was born into a relatively average family. She trained herself heavily, most of her childhood, she wasn't in a friendly neighborhood, and she was also a minority there. After turning 18, she had a brief stint in the U.S. Marines. Also, she's Batman. She lives north of Montgomery at the moment. Personality wise, you'd never believe her history. She is impulsive, mildly racist, and is somewhat a Commie. (She believes wars are caused by powerful nations drawing borders to suit their own needs without regard to the needs of other nations, and that we'd be better off without them. She also believes the South will rise again.)

Name: Gablex Garmson
Age:23
Species:Superhuman
Height:I'm not familiar with US measurements, so I'm gonna say 1.77 meters.
Weight: 79 kilograms.
General Appearance/pic:Black haired,eyes are left red and right blue (Heterochromia). White (But not PALE). Handsome (:D).
Powers/abilities:Limited control over time flow (Can stop time for about a minute, but can not move while time is stopped. Can transfer immunity to time freeze to ONE individual) control over darkness (Or the ability to remove lights, to be more accurate) and see perfectly while inside of it. Also is skilled at melee and sword combat. (Too much?)
Short bio (optional):When 12 years old, Gablex was abducted to be experimented with, and so he spent ten years in a laboratory, suffering. One day, the lights suddenly went out, and someone freed him. He decided it was time for payback, and he slaughtered those who had captured him, and fleed the laboratory. That day markes his life, for he would become the envoy of darkness.
A year later, after he had honed his skills to a point where he could control time and darkness efficiently, a letter arrived at his hideout. It had a check for millions of cash, and a small letter saying "I believe it is about time you thanked me for freeing you. Come to Paris, France. There you will find your purpose".
And so he set out to find the man who has released him.

AETEN II wrote:Name: Lost, Designation Epsilon- Fifth Attempt
Age: 31
Species: Human/Cyborg/Robot
Height: 6'2
Weight: Around a thousand pounds
General Appearance/pic: His Nanosuit
Powers/abilities:
Increased Speed- Aprox. 40mph or so.
Increased Strength- Can't lift a car, but can kick it hard enough to send it skidding. Also can really hurt a human with a punch.
Regeneration- Nanites heal and repair wounds, major ones however typically cost him the organ as the nanites adapt to fulfill the role of the lost organ.
Durability- Can take his fare share of bullets, plasma, lasers, etc. The more force however, the more energy it saps and the more damage is taken.
Invisibility- You know the drill. He can cloak himself like the predator. On infrared scanners, he appears to be a blue humanoid shape. Certain weapons can be cloaked, but for some reason the cloak doesn't do wood.
All abilities besides healing are passive and sap an energy reserve that replenishes quickly, but cover must be taken. Regeneration occurs constantly, except when taking damage. E.G. if he takes cover for a minute or two he's refreshed enough to return to battle.
Weakness: EMP's stun him like a TAZER shot to a human and can even cause a comatose state if his brain and/or heart is under the life support of the nanites.
Short bio: Nobody knows who Epsilon was. All databanks on him were completely wiped when he escaped the DARPA facility where the experiments were being preformed on the best soldiers, spies, and commandos America had at its disposal. If his family is still alive, his death was likely faked the minute he became such a successful field agent for the CIA. Enough of the speculation however, for it is best to know what he currently knows. Which is very little. He escaped from the DARPA facility two years ago with his mind wiped of everyone but his instincts. When he woke in the alley, his left lung was ruptured from a fifty-cal bullet that had tore through his chest cavity. Then an old homeless man walked up an poked him with a stick. Epsilon groggily got up, wincing it pain as he did so, and saw the man, who jumped backwards upon the sight of the cyborg's face and reached into his jacket. Epsilon thought the old man was reaching for a gun and the next thing he knew he was holding one of the man's ribs.
Since that incident and due to some propaganda by DARPA (cunning propaganda at that, spreading an urban legend of a murderous robot), Epsilon's only friend has been his AI companion, Oracle. Barely sentient, but it's at least something to talk to. Of course, talking to an AI for hours every day WILL result in a moderate level of insanity.
It should also be mentioned that the reason his designation is Epsilon is because he was the only one to survive the assimilation process by the nanites. The four other subjects before him all died within the first few weeks of the joining of man and machine.
Current location/situation: Depends on where the characters are currently, but you can bet he has a fair share of American DOD grunts chasing after him.
Other: Currently is carrying an M14 EBR Battle Rifle and an XM8C

Height: Tall

Because pure fucking swag.
Powers/abilities: Hypnotic Persuasion
Short bio: Goddard, in case you couldn't tell from his name, had stupid parents. Stupid parents with a lot of money. How they got their money, Goddard never asked, but it was definitely not from anything that wasn't human slavery and cocaine trafficking. Then, one faithful evening, the Gray family walked through the seedier parts of town on the way home from a play they left due to Goddard's intense fear of Mufasa. Nothing happened, because that would be plagiarism.
Instead, they were killed by armed robbers as soon as they got home. Goddard didn't particularly care about his parent's death, but he really liked the Nintendo they stole from him. Anyways, in case you can't tell, Goddard was more Christian Bale in American Psycho than Christian Bale in The Dark Knight. What did suck, however, was that his father (named Rutger, because it's hereditary) had excluded Goddard from his will, preferring to donate it all to an orphanage.
What. A. Dick.
Anyways, Goddard got shipped off to that orphanage, and was never adopted, because sob story. From there, though, he became a successful stock broker, because of course he did. After the stock market crash, he took his small fortune and ran. More specifically, to Japan, where he bought Nintendo (brick jokes, yay!) and continues to make insane amounts of Mario money to this day. He doesn't anything about his personal powers, but he is very interested in investigating such phenomena.
Could potentially be lucrative.
Current location/situation: Over the goddamn rainbow. Wherever you need him to be.

Prehensile tail

Weak nightmare generation (in the form of an illusion, the target does not need to be sleeping, just not concentrating)
Social repulsion
Catoptric Teleportation (through the use of mirrors)
Short bio: her first memory, was arriving at an orphanage when she was about 4 years old. A year later, she was adopted by a nice, middle-class family and spent the next ten years living a happy, carefree life. It was when she turned 15 that she showed certain worrying signs. Her friends started to fear her, even before she started her psychological torture. This development was partially because some bullies had hurt her quite seriously, mentally and physically. This incident seemed to have unlocked something deep within her, something dark. The only friends she had were animals, so she spent most of her time in the forest. Three psychiatrists and six months later, she stopped cooperating and even talking. Then, one day, she disappeared and no one in her hometown ever heard from her again, even though her adoptive parents organised a large search.
