Blue BlazerParticipantName: Carson Chase
Genre: Bounty Hunter
Powers/Special Skills: Olympic-level fighter; genius-level inventor
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: name it
Affiliations: none
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Carson is the world’s most prolific bounty hunter (and yes, he realizes the irony of his surname). Though he is infamous for his tough-guy demeanor, Carson relies heavily on his skills as an inventor, creating thousands of devices, each for a specific purpose. With these gadgets and weapons at his side, Carson can hold his own against virtually any superhuman. Though he only takes high profile jobs, earning him serious cash, Carson is more interested in the thrill of the hunt, and pushing himself to complete seemingly impossible hunts. Morally ambiguous, he has had dealings with all manner of clients, including some on the darker side of humanity.Pictures:

Genre: Agent of MAN
Powers/Special Skills: expert marksman; skilled combatant
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: various firearms and gadgets
Affiliations: Mutant Annihilation Network (MAN)
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Carter was a small child during the civil rights movement of the 1980’s surrounding the presence of mutated humans. His parents were small-minded and fearful, and taught Carter to be the same. But the idea did not cement in his mind until one afternoon when he and his parents attended a protest of a Mutant Rights march in Capitol City. A crazed mutant with the ability to make himself explode with violent force ran into the crowd of protesters and erupted, killing several of the demonstrators. Carter’s mother and father were both killed in the blast. Still reeling from the attack, little Carter was grabbed and escorted away by a man who he would later learn to treat as his own father: a man named Solomon Kersey. Solomon brought young Carter into a secret underground anti-mutant group called M.A.N., the Mutant Annihilation Network. For the next two decades, Carter was trained to be an operative, assassin, and intelligence collector, all the while being filled with anti-mutant propaganda.Now as a man, Carter is one of MAN’s most accomplished agents and Solomon Kersey’s right-hand-man. What Carter does not know is that Kersey himself staged the attack on Carter’s parents, using an unwilling, drugged mutant to help recruit a perfect soldier.

Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: Powerhouse
Other Aliases: none
Status: in-training
Bio:
Cassie St. Claire is a mutant with the ability to become invisible and phase herself through solid objects. She is shy by nature and is still trying to develop confidence with herself and her powers, but she shows remarkable persistence. Cassie is a student at Powerhouse, a school for young superhumans. She hopes to one day be a member of its faculty and, thus, a part of the Honor Guard, a team of superheroes. Cassie’s parents have not come to visit her since dropping her off in the hands of Powerhouse’s leader, Mr. E. Though they have accepted that their daughter is a mutant, they seem to not want to be around her, thus giving Cassie intimacy issues with her classmates and teachers.Sometimes being invisible is a good thing…

Blue BlazerParticipantAlias: Cat O’ Nine
Real Name: Karen West
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: proficient with whipping weapons; martial artist
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: cat o’ nine tails whips
Affiliations: none
Other Aliases: none
Status: active
Bio:
Karen West was abducted at the age of 13 by the psychotic villain Lasher. He kept her in his basement for 5 years, whipping her savagely several times a day for his own enjoyment. But Lasher’s sick fetish one day became his ruin. Karen escaped after those five long years. Though she had been horribly traumatized by the experience, she was able to enter back into society relatively quickly; in fact she had found a new sense of ambition. Enduring submission for so long had made Karen yearn for strength. She made up the last 5 years of school within a few months, and actually graduated the same year she would have had she not been kidnapped. She graduated from college 4 years later, and then began her training – the training she would need to rid the world of Lasher. She quickly became a proficient martial artist, and following the footsteps of her childhood idols, superheroes, she fashioned a menacing black cat costume, got her hands on a pair of nasty whips, and set out to become a hero herself. When she was satisfied with her skill, Karen sought out Lasher and in a blind rage killed him. Her hunger for vengeance finally fulfilled, Karen set her sights on other villains who targeted young women and children. Though Karen is usually a force of good, at time she has flashbacks of her time in captivity and goes way overboard with the violence.Pictures:

The Atomic PunkParticipantLove Cat O’Nine’s costume… but very disturbing origin.

Herr DParticipantRevenge usually makes a convincing, driven character. It’s a shame that outdoing kindnesses is so much harder to establish in any human relation. Good picture, Blue; original combo of ears and hood.

Blue BlazerParticipantAlias: Cavalier
Real Name: Clayton Cobb
Genre: Masked Hero
Powers/Special Skills: expert swordsman and acrobat
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: custom-made rapier
Affiliations: None
Other Aliases: none
Status: deceased
Bio:
The year was 1908 when news of a mysterious masked man wielding a sword first surfaced on the streets of Caligo. With the proximity of the newly built intercoastal railroad, the once small hamlet of Caligo had grown almost overnight into an expansive, bustling city. With this growth inevitably came more and more crime. The police could only do so much, and the civilians had no way to fight back against the ever looming darkness.Clayton Cobb had been in love with stories of adventure by the swashbucklers of Robin Hood and pirate books when he was a child. As he grew, his adventurous side matured into a deep admiration for the works of Shakespeare, and he became a stage actor in Caligo’s theater district.
One day the theater was burned to the ground by mobsters who had tried to force the owner to pay them for “protection”. When he had refused, they destroyed the theater and everything in it. Clayton had finally had it with the crime wave in Caligo. One night he dressed up in some costume pieces he kept at home and a prop sword from one of his plays, and patrolled the streets. He stopped three crimes that first night, but the fake sword was broken in half. He commissioned a friend to make him a real one, balanced perfectly for his hands, and from then on used the rapier and the physical training he’d undergone to prepare for fight scenes in plays to become Caligo’s very first costumed hero.
Cavalier’s reign of salvation lasted three decades, until Clayton was killed in a knife fight he was trying to stop in a pub in Caligo. His statue stands next to that of Mr. Ultimate, Caligo’s most famous superhero, in the city square.

Blue BlazerParticipantAlias: Chain
Real Name: George Grogan
Genre: Supervillain
Powers/Special Skills: above-average strength
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: magic chain
Affiliations: Slythe Blackman
Other Aliases: none
Status: at large
Bio:
The story of the supervillain Chain actually began hundreds of years ago in another world. In this place, a dimension of magic, there lived two wizards. One, a lonely, humble hermit named Brom, lived deep in a vast desert. The other, a scheming warlock named Slythe, had manipulated his way to the position of High Advisor to the King. From the first time they met, these two men knew they were destined to battle. And battle they did, until the epic conclusion. Neither wizard seemed able to kill the other, but Brom managed to bind Slythe’s essence within a long iron chain. He then hid the warlock’s inert body in a secret cave.Brom passed the centuries perfecting and honing the arts of white magic, always keeping the chain that held the vengeful spirit of his enemy. When he knew that he had learned everything he possibly could in his world, Brom discovered a way to transport himself into ours. His entry point was in Caligo City, present day. He procured a small, humble house in the suburbs and continued his search for knowledge.
George Grogan was a common thug whose favorite method of theft was breaking and entering. He watched the wizard’s routine and until he knew the old man would be gone, never suspecting that he was an ancient magician. George broke in and was both shocked and disappointed at how simply the old man lived. Back in a closet, George found what looked like an old treasure chest, but when he broke it open, he found only a long, coiled chain. But something about the chain made him yearn to touch it, and as soon as he did, his life changed forever. The chain spoke to him, in his mind, and promised fame and fortune if he would take it out of the house with him. The selfishness within George was enough to partially break Brom’s spell, giving Slythe the power to use George Gorgan as his conduit for magic. Man and iron work together to wreak havoc on the streets of Caligo.
