				<strong>(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff167/Melody0322/Kristin/kristinkreuk77.jpg)</strong><br><br><strong>Name:</strong>&nbsp; Cassandra D'Arque<br><strong>Alias (Supers only):</strong> Oracle<br><strong>Age:</strong> 23<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>Status:</strong> Superhero<br><strong>Registered with SPECTRE:</strong> N<br><strong>If a Super, List Powers:</strong> <em>Clairvoyance/Remote Viewing</em>- She can see events taking place in the present through visions. While having one of these visions, though, she is vulnerable until it is over, unable to hear, see, etc. anything taking place in reality. Sometimes she can see things at a distance close up, like she is seeing it through a telescope or binoculars. She is able to control the remote viewing to a degree, though it is draining, but her clairvoyance seems to be triggered randomly.<br><br><em>Precognition</em>- Through dreams or visions she may see the future. However, it is subjective. Some of the visions may not happen and she doesn't have the context. She has no way of directing the Sight or controlling when it happens or what she sees except through scrying after a ritual to purify the room and her spirit.<br><br><em>Retrocognition</em>- Through dreams or visions she may see the past. Again, she doesn't have the context and the visions seem to be random. <br><br><em>Psychometry</em>- By touching something with her bare hands, she gets a complete download of the object's history. <br><br><em>Clairsentience</em>- Highly sensitive to the world around her, she is able to sense the emotions of others but not affect them. She knows when someone is lying. She gets hunches or feelings that turn out to be accurate, though maybe not the way she or others expect. Perhaps they are effects of her other gifts but sometimes she has premonitions of what the immediate future holds and can get a sense for the history of an area. She is an uncannily good guesser and seems lucky. <br><br><em>Eidetic Memory</em>- Cassandra's brain seems to be able to store the things she sees so she'll never forget.<br><br><em>Shield</em>- Her mind isn't impenetrable but it's going to give whoever is trying to sift through it a major headache. And no one but her can pull those memories of things she's seen out.<br><br><strong>Brief Bio:</strong> Cassandra D'Arque was born to Henry D'Arque III, the owner of D'Arque Industries, a company that manufactured supplies for the medical and scientific community. He inherited it from his father, who had inherited it from his father who had built it from the ground up after starting with only ten dollars to his name upon his immigration. Her mother, Elizabeth was from an old, once powerful family that had fallen on hard times.<br><br>It was actually a love match and it broke Henry's heart when Elizabeth died in childbirth. He never remarried. And truth be told, he was a little disappointed that she'd given him a daughter. However, Cassandra got every luxury money could afford. Nothing was too good for Henry's future heir.<br><br>The dreams and seeings started when she was about five. Her father kept her extremely sheltered and the staff got huge raises to keep her eccentricities quiet. The media wondered why the child was never seen and there were all sorts of vicious rumors tossed around. Cassandra hasn't told anyone the truth about any of the allegations. Private tutors replaced the nannies at that point. She rarely saw her father.<br><br>Years passed. Things didn't get better and there was nothing she could do, no one she could talk to about the things she saw. It was a heavy burden on the young girl who had learned quickly not to share the things she saw or learned. At least she could wear gloves... As she continued to grow up, she grew more and more fed up with her father's protectiveness.<br><br>At the age of 14, she'd never once left the grounds of her family's estate. There was a world out there she wanted to see, be a part of, and she wasn't able to. She never could manage to get past the security to run away either. Of course that same security kept out the media.<br><br>Henry finally allowed her some modicum of freedom when she was 16, taking her on business trips and basically letting her go wherever she wanted... but not unescorted of course. Photographs of the girl were rare and highly prized. Her strange fits meant she needed someone there to make sure no one tried to steal from her or anything when she was out of it.<br><br>By the time she was 18, she had about two years of college credit under her belt. Cassandra was accepted into MIT. Much to her father's chagrin, she joined Alpha Phi. The paparazzi respected her privacy... to a degree. On campus meant she was off limits but otherwise... Unlike some of her sorority sisters, she focused on her studies and getting involved on campus rather than having a good time. She graduated magna cum laude two years later.<br><br>No one had figured out about her gifts, though it wasn't hard to know there was something different about her. The gloves and sunglasses were a fashion statement as far as the rest of the world was concerned. Her father told her of his diagnosis shortly after she started working towards her MBA. He had lung cancer and wasn't expected to live much longer. So it would be up to her to take over the company. Cassandra wasn't sure that was what she wanted but something made her agree. <br><br>After finishing her program, her father retired after helping her assume control. Thankfully the transition was smooth and Cassandra found herself enjoying her work. There was more media attention on one of the world's youngest and most influential CEOs than ever. Years of practice had given her some tricks to steer others away from the truth. <br><br>Her father passed away about four months ago, right about the time she decided to open a new plant in Seattle, WA. Cassandra never got the chance to tell him she was pregnant and no one else knows yet either. She moved to Washington to oversee the opening and such, make sure everything was in order with the port. This is about the time the Oracle appeared, delivering information and pointing people in the right direction. She's young, successful, and wealthy, owner and overseer of a company with a stellar reputation. But what the future holds isn't something even she is certain of.<br><br><br><strong>Occupation:</strong> CEO/President of D'Arque Industries<br><strong>Marital Status:</strong> Single<br><strong>Children:</strong> Expecting twins<br><strong>Other Relatives:</strong> Father- Henry D'Arque III, deceased<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Mother- Elizabeth D'Arque, deceased<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Cassandra comes across as a very sophisticated, charismatic woman. And she is. She is intelligent, well-traveled, and has a good sense of humor. However, there is something very odd about her. The woman has strange fits at random intervals and she seems to have a hard time relating to certain things. Most are willing to forgive her her quirks those though, as she is pleasant enough.<br><br>She never has been like the others. Her gifts mean she is privy to information she shouldn't be. It meant she had to grow up very quickly. Cassandra is good at playing the part, being whatever she feels she needs to be, and putting up a front but under the polished veneer is a woman who has never seen the world around her the way others do and never will. This means there is a disconnect between her and reality.<br><br>A philanthropist and patron of the arts, she's known for being very generous with her vast resources. She is altruistic and compassionate, willing to do whatever she can to help her fellow man. After all, you've only got one life to live and she doesn't want to waste a minute of it.<br><br>There is something frenetic about her energy. She doesn't do anything by halves. Strong-willed and determined, she'll do what she's set out to do. No matter what. The public knows her as a generous woman who is a passionate advocate for all sorts of good causes. Her peers know her as an eccentric, urbane blueblood. The truth? Only she knows. Underneath the warmth is a coldness. No longer a believer in the basic goodness of mankind, she's cynical, Machiavellian, and ruthlessly practical and efficient. The end justifies the means every time in her book.<br><br>The Oracle is a mysterious figure that no one knows much about. Only a very few know how to get a hold of the Oracle, who at least one step ahead of anyone wanting to find out who she really is. Her aid is not for sale. Usually she's on the side of the good guys and doing what she can to see that people have the information they need to make the world a better place. It's the usually part that is concerning... <br><br><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> Cassandra is rarely, if ever, without a pair of sunglasses or gloves. For fancy occasions she may forgo the glasses but never the gloves. There is a birthmark on her left hip that looks like a sunburst. Her pregnancy is also starting to show.<br><br><strong>Height:</strong> 5 ft<br><strong>Weight:</strong> Normally 105 lbs<br><strong>Eye/Hair Color:</strong> Black/Hazel<br><strong>Education:</strong> Private tutoring through high school, attended MIT, graduated magna cum laude after two years thanks to IB and AP classes, went on to get MBA from MIT SLOAN School of Management<br><strong>Other Info:</strong> Cassandra has no offensive abilities and has all the weaknesses of a human. However, could she harness her abilities...

				<strong>Name:</strong> Eric LeReaux<br><strong>Alias (Supers only):</strong> Phantom <br><strong>Age:</strong> 27<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Marital Status: </strong>Single<br><br><strong>Status: </strong>Resistance<br><strong>Education:</strong> Has bounced through many schools, colleges, private tutors, and even Spectre programs<br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Ex-SpECTRe Operative, Vigilante<br><strong>Registered with SPECTRE:</strong> Y<br><strong>If a Super, List Powers:</strong> <em>Cybernetic Enhancements</em>&nbsp; &nbsp;- Phantom has amazing vision, able to zoom his vision in and out, see&nbsp; &nbsp;in night vision or infrared, and capable of catching incredibly minute&nbsp; &nbsp;movements. In addition, his enhancements allow him to make minute&nbsp; &nbsp;changes to his skin pigment, eye color, and hair color, among other&nbsp; &nbsp;things. This allows him to disguise himself rather quickly (on top of&nbsp; &nbsp;his training with makeup, hairdressing, and wigs, to allow him a greater&nbsp; &nbsp;range of 'characters'). While not superhuman, his strength, speed, and&nbsp; &nbsp;vitality, are also top notch.<br><br><em>Cybernetic Mod</em> - Phantom's&nbsp; &nbsp;most useful tool allows him to connect into objects and alter data.&nbsp; &nbsp;This is not a particularly subtle trick, as wires, antenna, and&nbsp; &nbsp;connectors may protrude from him. If he is alone, he can manipulate&nbsp; &nbsp;camera feeds to stop people from noticing, but if he is being watched,&nbsp; &nbsp;he cannot hide his mod. Once connected (which takes time), he can enter&nbsp; &nbsp;commands, hack, and override in the time it takes him to think and the&nbsp; &nbsp;computer to respond.<br><br><em>Phasing</em> - An experimental ability&nbsp; &nbsp;given to him through a eugenics program. Phantom can pass through solid&nbsp; &nbsp;objects, however, he can never be completely inside something solid. He&nbsp; &nbsp;must still be touching a solid object to propel himself. So to pass&nbsp; &nbsp;through a wall, his hand must reach the other side so that he can make&nbsp; &nbsp;it solid and pull himself through. On occasion, he can jump through an&nbsp; &nbsp;object, using Newton's First Law, however, he is usually incapacitated&nbsp; &nbsp;after such an action. Phantom cannot phase other creatures, but he can&nbsp; &nbsp;phase objects with less mass and weight that he holds firmly or wears.<br><br><em>Training</em>&nbsp; &nbsp;- While not a power, Phantom is well trained in many areas. Notably,&nbsp; &nbsp;due to his eyes, his is a skilled marksman, and has taken a few guns&nbsp; &nbsp;from Sp.E.C.T.Re. His favorite is his 'Dragon' (SVD Dragunov), a custom&nbsp; &nbsp;sniper rifle made for him.<br><br><strong>Height: </strong>5'8"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 159lb.<br><strong>Eye/Hair Color:</strong> Unknown, variable <strong><br>Distinguishing Features:</strong> His eyes have a strange glint, and makes barely noticeable mechanical sounds (audible by those with super-aural abilities).&nbsp; &nbsp;Eric is a master of disguise, and blends well into crowds, however, he&nbsp; &nbsp;does&nbsp; have several important objects (his disguise kit, his Dragon,&nbsp; &nbsp;other guns), which he hides in vacant, difficult to access areas using&nbsp; &nbsp;his phasing.<br><strong>Brief Bio: </strong>Eric&nbsp; &nbsp;has always been very unique, though most of his past is not well known.&nbsp; &nbsp;His family was poor, and forced to bounce from home to home, which drew&nbsp; &nbsp;attention to Eric. He had always kept himself educated, even as a&nbsp; &nbsp;child, through books and computers, and even games. His notable&nbsp; &nbsp;intelligence became noticeable after having several different tests at&nbsp; &nbsp;many schools. He was offered scholarships to private schools, which he&nbsp; &nbsp;spent time at, before he was forced to move on by various circumstances&nbsp; &nbsp;and his parents' whimsical desires.<br><br>When he was young, his&nbsp; &nbsp;parents worked for the D'Arque family from about the age of 6-10, the&nbsp; &nbsp;longest he may have ever stayed in one place. He made friends with the&nbsp; &nbsp;daughter of the D'Arque family, a girl who was 4 years younger than he.&nbsp; &nbsp;After her she began to have oracular dreams, she became distanced, and&nbsp; &nbsp;when Eric attempted to get closer to her again, Henry D'Arque fired his&nbsp; &nbsp;family and shipped them away.<br><br>When Eric was 12, his parents were&nbsp; &nbsp;killed during a mugging, and Eric was put into an orphanage. He did not&nbsp; &nbsp;stay there long, before he was snatched up by an Special Operations&nbsp; &nbsp;organization called 'ProtoTypE'. Eric was 'upgraded' with prototypical&nbsp; &nbsp;cybernetics and eugenics to give him powers. Before he was able to&nbsp; &nbsp;perform an operation (or even really learn what he was a part of) the&nbsp; &nbsp;organization was shut down for experimentation with extrahuman&nbsp; &nbsp;enhancements.<br><br>Eric was given a large sum to disappear, and he used his training to blend into different parts of society. He has used it to learn more about others with abilities, occasionally changing his identity to move onto another life.<br><br>He&nbsp; &nbsp;used his powers to alter his identity to be hired as a 'tutor' for&nbsp; &nbsp;Cassandra D'Arque for a time, giving her a method by which she could&nbsp; &nbsp;always contact him. He has infiltrated her home often since then and she&nbsp; &nbsp;is one of the few constant companions in Phantom's life. She is the&nbsp; &nbsp;only person who knows him as Eric, instead of Phantom.<br><br>Eric was&nbsp; &nbsp;eventually caught by Sp.E.C.T.Re, and recruited. After learning that&nbsp; &nbsp;some of his superiors from his ProtoTypE were involved in Sp.E.C.T.Re,&nbsp; &nbsp;he began to look into them. After discovering the 'mugging' that killed&nbsp; &nbsp;his parents, was actually done by an undercover agent (which he was&nbsp; &nbsp;forced to capture one of his superiors to learn), he killed one of the&nbsp; &nbsp;men involved and hid evidence. He took on one last operation with&nbsp; &nbsp;Sp.E.C.T.Re and helped the target go underground, before going MIA&nbsp; &nbsp;himself.<br><br>After evidence arose about Eric killing his superior, he was quickly declared AWOL and&nbsp; has been hunted since.<br><br>Phantom&nbsp; &nbsp;is difficult to hunt, as he knows how the Sp.E.C.T.Re's work, and has&nbsp; &nbsp;been trained to avoid them. He has used his various skills to evade and&nbsp; &nbsp;hunt SpECTRe agents for about a year now.<br><br><em><strong>If anyone wants to get involved in Phantom's backstory, particularly as the character he helped go underground, send me a PM.<br></strong></em>

				<strong>(image)</strong>(http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p27/unicornsawg42/dark_goth_girl.jpg)<br><br><strong>Name:</strong> Tiffany Sheppard <br><strong>Alias (Supers only):</strong> Shadow <br><strong>Age:</strong> 23<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female <br><strong>Status:</strong> Villain<br><strong>Registered with SPECTRE:</strong> N<br><strong>If a Super, List Powers:</strong> <br>Shadow walk- can telaport from point A to point B, but as long as there is a clear line from there to here covered in darkness. Any light breaking the path will make her come out where the light is and she can only go a few feet.<br><br>Shadow manipulation- she can create illusions or even small creatures out of shadows but the bigger or the more she tries to create the harder it is to keep it from falling apart. All shadow creations tend to fall apart after a couple of minuets. <br><br><strong>Brief Bio:</strong> I suppose there should be some sad tale, some shocking revelation that would tell how Shadow became the bad girl that is , why she avoids light and all the good within it. . To hear her say it though, Bad girls have more fun. Her father had been an honest man working all his life as a janitor, while her mother tried to take care of her and her sister. They were living in poverty. Her mother had gotten ill while her and her sister where still young and without any way to pay for a doctor she died. So Tiffany grew up quick and tough taking care of her sister and getting money whoever she could which was either picking pockets, or raiding houses as she was too young to get a job. Her father never asked where the extra money came from and she never told him. It would have broke his honest heart. <br><br>She was also born different she always had a bit of an aversion to the sun, and even as a little child. She would put on elaborate shadow puppet shows to entertain her sister.&nbsp; Was she born with her gifts? This girl will never tell.<br><strong>Occupation:</strong> thief <br><strong>Marital Status:</strong> Single<br><strong>Children:</strong> none <br><strong>Other Relatives:</strong>Erick Sheppard father ( currently not speaking) Elizabeth Sheppard mother ( deceased)<br>Arin Sheppard her little sister and greatest weakness. <br><strong>Personality:</strong> Tiffany is playful and likes to flirt but behind that she is a very shielded person. She acts as though she is cold and careless, but around her little sister she is very caring. She would give the world for her if she could just figure out how to steal it. <br><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> Tiffany is always seen in some sort of Gothic apparel usually in a dress or a skirt. If she comes out in the day light she usually has on a pair of sunglasses , not that she needs them. <br><strong>Height:</strong>5'2<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 100 pounds <br><strong>Eye/Hair Color:</strong> black, black <br><strong>Education:</strong> She never even graduated high school though she did attempt to attend for a bit. Survival was a bit more important then education, but don't be fooled into thinking she&nbsp; is stupid just because of her lack of formal schooling. <br><strong>Other Info:</strong> Tiffany knows how to pick a lock, and is very quick and agile. She knows a bit of martial arts as well, most of her thieving doesn't even involve her powers. <br><br><br>

				(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/1928/animegirlpunkz.jpg)<br>(She looks like this except with fewer skulls)<br>Name: Sami Laine<br>Alias: Cartographer<br>Age: 17<br>Gender: Female<br>Status: Super (inactive)<br>Registered: N<br>Powers: <br><em>Mapping</em>: Sami has the ability to create a mental map of anything within her sphere of influence, including people and places. Using this she can track people within a certain location, if she needs to find them or avoid being found by them. Allows her to recognize supers that enter her space unless they are specifically capable of masking their presence (Let me know what you think a reasonable range is).<br><em>Guide</em>: She can communicate with people within her map range, allowing her to guide them or keep track of their status. Because of this, she most often worked with other supers.<br><em>Maze</em>: As long as they are within her area, Sami can create a maze that forces anyone she chooses to follow a set path that she has created within her space (the path is non-linear, so it is just like a maze). However, she can't move as long as this power is in effect, and in order for it to work she must herself be somewhere within the maze (the maze does not create physical boundaries, anyone not affected can move freely, however, those trapped will not be able to escape unless they find Sami or she releases the ability).<br><br>Bio: Raised in Portland, her parents discovered her abilities when they realized that as long as something was in their house Sami could find it. She wasn't aware of anything herself until she was nearly thirteen, when she began to realize that she could always find whoever and whatever she was looking for without any trouble. Once she knew she was special, she spent hours trying to develop her powers, eventually leading to her other abilities manifesting. Although she wanted to be a hero, her first attempt almost ended in disaster when she was caught by the criminal she had trapped. She was rescued by another Super, and afterwards teamed up with them, realizing that her powers did not lend themselves well to actually capturing people. One year after, when she was 16, she and her mentor ran afoul of SPECTRE, forcing the two to split up and putting Sami on SPECTRE's radar. Now, She has fled North to Seattle in an attempt to avoid being captured by the SPECTRE forces in her hometown.<br><br>Occupation: Unemployed<br>Marital status: Single<br>Children: None<br>Other Relatives: Marta Laine (Mother) Gabriel Laine (Father) James Laine (Brother, age 24)<br>Personality: Friendly and easy to get along with, though a bit paranoid recently. Logical thought processes, but not always good when it comes to thinking quickly.<br>Distinguishing features: None<br>Height: 5'5<br>Weight: 125 lb<br>Education: High School

				(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x120/sirius_Black2001/jarod-pretender-1.jpg)<br><br><strong>Name:</strong> James Black <br><strong>Alias):</strong> Wolf<br><strong>Age:</strong> 23<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Status:</strong>Super <br><strong>Registered with SPECTRE:</strong> N<br><strong>If a Super, List Powers:</strong><br>(side note I picture him as kind of a mix between worlverine with no claws and no indestructable skeleton and captain america, that should give you an idea of what he can do.)<br>Regenerative healing factor - His cellular regeneration is off the chart.&nbsp; Broken bones and wound healing in minutes.&nbsp; Doesn’t get sick and ages slowly.<br>Super human senses - All of his senses are heightened giving him greater awareness of the world around him, like a wolf. <br>Super human strength -&nbsp; Now he is no superman, but he is stronger than you're average human.&nbsp; Can lift with some difficulty small vehicles over his head and even throw them a short distance.<br>Super human speed -&nbsp; Again he isn't the flash or someone like superman, he is just faster than your average human.&nbsp; He's about as fast as a wolf or a jungle cat.<br>Super human reflexes - It probably has alot to do with the fact that he has more of an awareness of the world around him thanks to his senses but he is able to react quickly.&nbsp; He can still be taken by surprise or react wrong but he has a little more warning than most.<br>Super human agility -&nbsp; He can't dodge bullets, and you can hit him with a punch or anything else in a fight.&nbsp; Basically he has the flexibility of a gymnist.&nbsp; He can flip forward or backwards an he has good balance.<br>Super human Stamina - Fatigue catches up to us all but because his body is in such good shape it takes longer for it to really take its toll on him. <br>&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Brief Bio:</strong> James was born to two loving parents who worked hard and we’re moderately well off financially.&nbsp; &nbsp;They weren’t precisely what you would call rich but they we’re wealthy enough to provide a good life for their family.&nbsp; Even from a very young James parents knew that something was different about their son.&nbsp; He never got sick and wounds that he received healed over instantly.&nbsp; He was also moderately stronger than your average child.&nbsp; As he continued to grow they observed him noticing that he was also moderately faster and had better reflexes as well. <br><br>Despite what he could do James had a relatively normal live growing up.&nbsp; He went to school, had friends, girl friends, and was involved in after school activities including Martial arts training.&nbsp; He started with karate and moved on to judo in high school to the present has been training in kung fu. <br><br>When James was 14 James started dating one of the girls in his class.&nbsp; Her name was Amanda Reed.&nbsp; They had been freinds all the way up through elementary and was beginning to develop into something.&nbsp; The two of them we're nearly inseperable and always seemed to be together.&nbsp; They we're absolutely in love with each other.&nbsp; She became the first person outside his parents that he shared his secret with.&nbsp; That conversation had been scary for him.&nbsp; He feared that she would be afraid of him, and call him a freak.&nbsp; She didn't, she was of course shocked by the revelation but it didn't change anything for her.&nbsp; He was still the same person she had always known and loved.&nbsp; It seemed a sure thing that they would get married one day.&nbsp; Until the fateful night when he was 16 that his life changed.&nbsp; It was a dark and rainy night and the two of them had gone out to see a movie.&nbsp; The hour was late 11 o'clock and the winding road was dark.&nbsp; As they rounded one of the bends in the road a car travelling in the wrong lane rammed into them.&nbsp; pushing them off a short embankment.&nbsp; The car rolled and settled on its top.&nbsp; Both of them we're seriously wounded, but James didn't stay that way for long.&nbsp; His healing factor kicked in immediately and his wounds quckly started to mend.&nbsp; As soon as he was able to he unfastened his safety belt and went over to Amanda.&nbsp; She was alive but only just.&nbsp; He helped her out of the car and held her in his arms as he called for help.&nbsp; She held on for nearly an hour until the EMT's arrived but on the way to the hospital her life flickered and died in his arms.&nbsp; <br><br>James was devastated by her death and he focused much of his final two years of high school on his work.&nbsp; He became a social outcast not really interacting with anybody unless he had to.&nbsp; He didn't participate in any afterschool activities accept his physical training.&nbsp; He spent alot of time in the gym aftershool or disiplining himself with matial arts.&nbsp; Upon graduating high school with very good grades, James was accepted at MIT and he welcomed the chance to go somewhere else.&nbsp; There we're too many reminders of her here.&nbsp; The distance did help.&nbsp; His outlook on life improved and he started to move on with his life.&nbsp; He was bright and intelligent and focused hard on his studies, and involved himself with the goings on of campus.&nbsp; He graduated four years later with his MSIT and decided to look up an an old aquaintance from MIT Cassandra D'Arque, for a job.&nbsp; They had been in a few classes together and had developed a friendship.&nbsp; In college he adopted the alias of Wolf and began patrolling the area around campus wanting to protect the people around the campus.&nbsp; He didn't have much action but he did take down a few petty criminals in his time theire&nbsp; It was kind of fun and he was careful not to protect his anonymity<br><br>He was hired on very quickly&nbsp; and has been a part of the company for the last two years.&nbsp; Since coming back together he has rekindled his friendship with Cassandra, and for him at least it has grown past friendship.&nbsp;

				<br>(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/2351/ihero.png)<br><strong>Name:</strong> Jacob Whitecloud <br><strong>Alias (Supers only):</strong> None <br><strong>Age:</strong> Unknown(Appears mid 20's)<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Status:</strong> Resistance <br><strong>Registered with SPECTRE:</strong> No<br><strong>If a Super, List Powers:</strong> <br><span class="bbc_u"><em>The Old Ways:</em></span> Jacob believes that his powers originate from his people's customs and his strict adherence to the ancient laws and customs of his people earning him the respect and patronage of the spirits around him. There are several scientific explanations for his abilities though without examining his body they can never truly become anything more than theories<br><span class="bbc_u">Spirit Sight:</span> Jacob possesses the ability to see the 'spirits' of other life forms allowing him to pick them out in the dark, at a distance, and even when blindfolded. Most scientists agree that he does this the same way a shark can sense the electrical current that runs though another animal's body.&nbsp; <br><span class="bbc_u">Spirit Warriors:</span> Jacob believes that he is able to capture the soul of those enemies whom he defeats in one on one combat. He does this by taking a 'trophy' from their body. He believes that as long as he has said 'trophy' he is able to command their spirit which is trapped on earth and unable to go on to what lies after death until he has freed them. This practice is considered a punishment for the spirit of any human being and as such Jacob rarely captures the soul of a man or woman for fear of angering the spirits who grant him his powers. Some theories as to how he is able to create these apparitions range from manipulation of light waves to latent telekinetic abilities. He currently possesses two spirit warriors; The Wolf which is the long dead spirit of the first predatory animal Jacob ever killed with his bow. And The Gunman: which is the spirit of a human being which takes the form of a Confederate States of America field officer. Whether this is simply a shape Jacob gives said 'spirit' or it is really a confederate soldier is unknown. <br><span class="bbc_u">Spirit Search:</span> Jacob is able to gain knowledge from those he kills he believes it is from searching their souls for the desired information. The best scientific explanation is that his brain is somehow capable of copying the synaptic pathways of others after they have become inert. <br><span class="bbc_u">Soul Eater:</span> Upon the death of an enemy Jacob believes that he is able to absorb a portion of their power and life force into himself. In doing so he feels that it allows him to live a longer healthier life. He credits this ability as the reason he does not age. It is unknown whether this is an actual ability or simply a falsehood that his mind has created. <br><span class="bbc_u"><em>Weapons:</em></span> Jacob carries a number of weapons which he uses to defend himself:<br><span class="bbc_u">Composite Bow:</span> Using a modern version of his ancestor's original weapons of choice is the closest Jacob will allow himself to come to using a firearm. He has been known to use several different forms of arrows ranging from explosive tipped, to armor piercing, to poisoned.<br><span class="bbc_u">Hunting Knife:</span> Jacob's secondary close combat weapon is a very sharp hunting knife perfect for silent kills.<br><span class="bbc_u">Tomahawk:</span> His close combat weapon of choice Jacob is very skilled and hard to defeat when using his tomahawk and hunting knife together. <br><strong>Brief Bio:</strong> Jacob claims to be an immortal who is hundreds of years old, he claims to have been born before the European colonization of the new world and to have lived his way through history every since. Whether these claims are true, lies, or simply an indicator of his lack of a grip on reality is unconfirmed. What is confirmed is that Jacob is a man of native American descent,&nbsp; practices&nbsp; and believes in his people's "old ways,"&nbsp; and possesses 'super powers' which he tends to use for personal gain. <br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Professional Criminal.<br><strong>Marital Status:</strong> Single<br><strong>Children:</strong> None<br><strong>Other Relatives:</strong> Deceased <br><strong>Personality:</strong> Jacob is a proud quite man, he speaks only when he feels something needs to be said. He is quite vindictive and has a tendency to seek revenge against anyone he feels has crossed him.<br><strong>Education:</strong> Unknown.<br><strong>Other Info:</strong>

				Real Name: Joseph Miller<br>Nickname: Joe<br>Alias: Prodigy<br>Age: 23<br>Height: 6'2"<br>Weight: 225lbs.<br>Hair Color: Brown<br>Eye Color: When the super hero is revved up, his eyes often shift to a burning white that crackle with electricity, but normally, his eyes are brown.<br>Complexion: Slight tan<br>Physique: Solid and built for the job<br>Appearance: Besides his Seattle Police Department uniform, he tends to wear loose clothes: jeans, tanks, jackets, buttoned shirts, etc. Whatever he's seen wearing at the time.<br>Markings/Accessories: Small tattoo of a split, blue diamond between his shoulder blades.<br>Alignment: Hero<br>Weakness: Bad sense of awareness makes him suspectable to easy ambush, one-track mind, and has human weaknesses.<br>Occupation: Cop<br>Marital Status: Single<br>Status: Super<br>Registered with SPECTRE: N<br>Children: No<br>Other Relatives: Dean Miller (Father)<br>Education: Bachelors in Criminal Justice from Seattle University.<br>Other Info: A few years studying the French language.<br><br>Personality: Joseph's personality is independent and reserved. He grew up with no support from his father or from any friends and has developed a lone-wolf attitude. He is stubborn, but also hard-working. When performing his job as an officer, he can sometimes be reckless, spending a bit of his powers to make catching criminals more quick and effective. He doesn't use a great dose to let everyone know he's a super, but just enough to get him a reputable name in the office. He will always attempt to track down criminals without getting any blood on his hands. Having observed the behavior of the human's around him, he knows they are easily frightened creatures; and if a superman was to ever kill a human or even a villain, it would give supermen an even greater bad name. In summary, Joseph tends to be cold and distances himself from anyone who tries to get close even his own partner.<br><br><br>Powers:<br>1. Energy manipulation - these powers deal with energy generation, conversion, and manipulation. In addition to generic energy, versions of these powers exist that deal with such things as light, sound, electricity, and nuclear energy (Wiki). Prodigy can draw energy from fire, power lines, and other energy sources, including in a villainous sense, human beings.<br>2. Amplify - Prodigy's ability to fuel his cells with energy to speed up regenerative processes, rid his body of ailments, and reinforce the toughness of his being to grant his body a physical performance above that of any normal human. This ability grants him superhuman durability to resist small arms fire (pistols, revolvers, bows, crossbows, throwing knives, etc. Anything smaller but no larger) and small explosions (brought by a nade or distanced explosion not point-blank). With his superhuman strength, he so far only knows that he is capable of lifting a vehicle. He hasn't tried any heavier.<br>3. Flight - propulsion - in order to fly, Prodigy circulates the energy he pulls from different power sources around him and uses it to propel himself through the air. He can however only draw one source of energy at a time. Thus, if he is drawing from fire, he'll have fire until he rids its energy from his body and draws on a differing source. He cannot control two or more forms at the same time.<br><br><br><br>Before Joseph Miller came to be, his father, Dean Miller, was a police officer in Seattle. On one assignment, he was to investigate an illegal shipment that was supposed to arrive at the port. During a gunfight with smugglers, Dean was pushed into a crate stack that near crushed him flat when it came down. After the smugglers escaped, Dean and his partner searched the cargo for illegal drugs and from the rubble of the shattered crates, Dean discovered a titanium suitcase. Upon opening it, he found an ecstatic object (possibly having been disturbed by the fall) that unleashed a bright flash before winking out of existence. The flash had dazed Dean and made him slightly nauseous and unaware of its true effects on his being. The FBI wasn’t too happy that he had “tampered with evidence,” and submitted him to several rounds of interrogations. When the FBI was left dry, Dean returned home to his wife Charlotte Miller, unaware of the contamination he carried on his being.<br><br>It was passed onto Charlotte and during her pregnancy, she was horribly ill and the doctors revealed the harmful dose of radiation that had been bestowed on her. They predicted that the radiation would either deform or kill the baby, and months later, when the baby was to be born, Charlotte died giving birth to a boy she named with her last words Joseph. Joseph was what the doctors thought to be a miracle to science for he came out to be a healthy baby boy; and though Dean was relieved to hear of Joseph’s well-being, he was devastated upon learning of Charlotte’s passing.<br><br>Dean cared for Joseph for a few months and during those months he was able to see his boy’s unusual behavior. At three-months-old, Joseph was crawling around and able to recognize his toys. At four-months, he was standing and tottering around, a stage reached too early in a baby’s life. When Dean’s job, taking care of Joseph, and coping with his wife's death were becoming tasks too complicated to maintain, Dean left his son and his memories of Charlotte at an orphanage.<br><br>It was there where Joseph spent most of his life, maturing mentally at a rate faster than the other children to the point that seesaw and hide-and-go-seek just weren’t cutting it anymore. He formed new hobbies: painting, teaching himself, trying a musical instrument, and eventually writing stories with correct grammar and spelling. At five-years-old, he was mentioned in the newspaper as boy genius and child prodigy; however, such a title never got him adopted, instead, his fast-paced learning as opposed to the qualities of an ignorant child made him intimidating. At nine-years-old, Joseph acquired an early job at the orphanage—sorting papers and organizing appointments. He saved his money and got a bank account so that when he became eighteen and was dismissed from the orphanage, he could buy an apartment, one in which he bought near the university.<br><br>Once he got settled, Joseph curiously sought out his father’s whereabouts and found him with a new family. Dean Miller had moved on and Joseph remained a loner. Distraught over his loss of a family and childhood, it was stress which allowed Joseph to discover a portion of his powers. When walking home from his father’s house, Joseph was spontaneously electrocuted by a trailing volt drawn to him from a power line. The teen was unconscious for several hours before he awoke and returned to his apartment for further rest. When he awoke, Joseph was no longer the man he once knew. Over the years, he experimented with his capabilities and gradually discovered more of his abilities until at the age of twenty-one; he had graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice and went on to following his late father's footsteps, and that is become an officer of the law.

Finally she knows how to put take apart, clean, and put several kinds of pistols and rifles back together.&nbsp; <br><br><b>Equipment:</b> Taylor always has a lock pick hidden away on her person, often on the interior pocket of a jacket.&nbsp; She also carries a Glock .45 on her person at all times.<br><br><strong>Brief Bio:</strong> Julia and Max Fairchild always strove to raise their child correctly with good morals and a good understanding of both how the world is and how it used to be.&nbsp; Both of Taylor's parents were cops for their adult lives, having both entered the academy together, become partners then fell in love.&nbsp; Maxwell brought his marksmanship and knowledge of weapons to the table, Julia her expert knowledge on many forms of hand-to-hand combat and tactical know-how.&nbsp; All of which was passed on to Taylor from just about the time she could walk to just a couple of years ago.&nbsp; Both of her parents had been very strong willed and very capable police officers, however they were by no means invincible.&nbsp; <br><br>Two years ago they were both gunned down while having their "date night" and leaving Taylor to take care of the dog.&nbsp; The terrible news came and then the world kept moving.&nbsp; The life insurance policies went to Taylor which could easily support her for years to come.&nbsp; <br><br>Now Taylor has found a niche for herself fighting against SPECTRE where she can.&nbsp; Which often include surveillance and not much else.&nbsp; She's never taken them on directly, knowing full well that even with body armor that it wouldn't take much for them to scoop her up and send her off.&nbsp; She needs to make connections, though in the meantime she keeps putting herself in dangerous situations always taking the <i>wrong</i> alleyway home to lure the badguys out.&nbsp; A bubble butt on a cute white girl that is also rather small?&nbsp; Well there's nothing that could be juicier bait.&nbsp; Which is exactly what she counts on when she does such things.&nbsp; The groups of men often come out on the worse side of things either winding up dead, paralyzed, or with enough broken bones to keep them in the hospital for weeks. <br><strong>Occupation:</strong> None.<br><strong>Marital Status:</strong> Single<br><strong>Children:</strong> None<br><strong>Other Relatives:</strong> Julia and Maxwell Fairchild (mother and father) both deceased.<br><strong>Personality:</strong> On a mission against SPECTRE she's all business all the time.&nbsp; She knows one little slip up could mean a one-way ticket to Area 12 or death.&nbsp; Though if she's fighting against some street punks she's a little more light hearted about it.&nbsp; Still very serious, yet she's more likely to smile at the thought of a challenging fight or odds greater than ten to one.&nbsp; She's a little sarcastic, and if she's not doing either of the previous two, she's going to flirt a little bit.<br><strong>Distinguishing Features:</strong> None.<br><strong>Height:</strong> 5'3"<br><strong>Weight:</strong> 136 lbs.<br><b>Build:</b> Athletic, lean, but strong muscles.<br><strong>Eye/Hair Color:</strong> Green eyes with dark auburn hair.<br><strong>Education:</strong> GED.
