HEROES 001 - 020
GENERAL A.I.
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Cybernetic
BIO: The ultimate 'man with the plan,' one which seamlessly comes together through rapid simulation and critical execution, a technological manifestation expressing the art of war and peace. Dated only in appearance, a visage with a sense of familiarity and history, maintained for optimum public relations and PSYOP, winning of hearts and minds, pulling on the strings of rampant nostalgia.

O'HARE
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Ireland
CLASSIFICATION: Golden Age
BIO: Personifying buoyant energy and vigour, while casually exuding command and immediate inspiration, a fun loving individual, in spite of a heavy past. In joining the war effort in 1942, found his way into a British Special Operations unit. Subsequently, on detail to America, enrolled in a classified nuclear research program, where he was inadvertently bitten by, what he described as a “cute, albeit frantic little feller,” later identified as a genetically altered-lagomorph. The resulting mutation from this war-time experiment gifted him with super-speed, but simultaneously a penchant for timeliness, if at times, a worrying need to always be on time.

KYRIE VALENTINE
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Norway
CLASSIFICATION: Legendary
BIO: A fierce warrior, ice-cold leader, lethal as her eyes are sharp. Girded with the wisdom of Freyja, intelligent and deadly. Dubbed 'Chooser of the Slain,' choosing those who live and die, by her blade, and the growing army at her command. Frozen in time, recently thawed and awakened, quick to adjust to the modern world and the incongruities, she seeks to rebuild a new bloodless force, determined to protect and free the world through wisdom, intellect and compassion.

THE AMALGAM
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Switzerland
CLASSIFICATION: Aethyrial
BIO: A living ouroboros, perpetually quantum entangled, the unfortunate results of an early collider experiment malfunction, blended though space and time. With an appearance grievously shocking to many, he withdrew from public, becoming a recluse, operating from his own mobile lab. Only recently returning to the public, co-hosting 'The Resonance Cascade,' an online show and podcast with Steffan Hawkins.

POHLEN
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Holland
CLASSIFICATION: Legendary
BIO: An environmental specialist studying war torn poppy fields, present at the site of a blast, that has since been dubbed a 'freak accident' of unknown origins, resulted in unforeseen chemical reactions, rendering deep mutation of the land and his body. Easily one who could have turned to villainy, instead becoming humbled by the event, choosing to pursue a path in line with nature. Travelling the world with his capability to distributing spores, infecting people from within manipulating whims through a natural process, rather malevolent sounding but surprisingly without any malicious intent, simply raw nature and chemistry in action.

PANDAN PANDAMAN
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Cybernetic
BIO: An anti-establishment figure, creator of Combat Sports Unlimited, setting out to to bypass traditional sponsorships and the travesties of media conglomerates, he opted to self-fund and focus on community-centric and charity fights. Bankrolling events through charity, investors and eventually sponsors, in addition to cash stolen from criminals. Avoiding sports arenas, opting for community locales, no events were exclusive, all pay per view streamed at affordable prices with no commercial breaks, sports channels if they were interested however, had to pay a hefty license fee for broadcasting.

ULTIMATE CHIN
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Legendary
BIO: A walking tribute, happy-go-lucky dimension-hopping rogue, with a chin that could implode the universe, and probably be better for it. Matching quick quips, the rapid ability to manufacture improvised weapons, leading to a series of books, documentaries and a recent museum dedicated to the mad craft of ridiculous improvised weapons and their function.

RAJ M. HAL
PLACE OF ORIGIN: India
CLASSIFICATION: Cybernetic
BIO: Suffering tech support burnout, enough to register a chronic paradigm shift. A hobbyist biohacker turned digital-nomad, regarded by some as a cyber-bodhi of sorts. Amid conflicts, politics and disparate issues of error-ridden Buddhism, he aims for less localised matters to focus on a more global setting. In witnessing 'The Zen BandAid' being overused, particularly within the blogosphere and tech field, feel-good misconceptions of 'karma' and 'mindfulness,' as buzzwords, quick-fix solutions, he attempts to discuss and philosophise with the masses. Never preaching, simply philosophising and holding discourse. Reaching out to support others. Simultaneously investigation and attempting an evolutionary hybrid oneness through progressive A.I. synthetic merging. The core of it all, change from within, and the sharing of knowledge.

DYNA
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Espionage
BIO: One of the first transhuman operatives participating in an experimental program in an effort to defend and evolve humanity beyond its limitations, in preparation from threats to more effectively protect, establish and maintain peace. Seen as a necessary evolution towards a Class-1 Civilisation and eventual space exploration. Unfortunately, whilst free from the limitations of standard human evolution, she is subject to the new prejudice of radical human purists and religious radicals branding her a cyborg mark of the beast. In spite of this she maintains her belief in the human spirit and what human machine hybridisation can yield.

NEH-KO
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Japan
CLASSIFICATION: Teen
BIO: Described by some as the feline equivalent of a lycanthrope, but without the shapeshifting. A Maid/Cat Cafe Hostess by day, by night, still infuriating the world with obnoxious cuteness and crazy violence in a manner most perplexing. Fast and agile, her innate feline abilities are described best as a rapid flurry of berserker like slashes, punctuated with a bevy of taunts and poses. She is often seen operating with her sister in blood, SAI-KO Girl. The two are long time friends and roommates. Despite despising Christmas, she believes it should be called Catsmas.

PRESIDENT ELITE
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Cybernetic
BIO: Rigged, a walking troll-farm, designed to appeal to multiple demographics within the masses. Targeted social feeds and alleged brainwave manipulation at rallies, grossly exaggerated with the populace divided and willing to parrot the company line. It is rumoured that he is an augmented clone, only 2 years of age, coupled with bleeding edge cybernetic implants. A mechanised puppet with several wires crossed, President Elite is an advanced unit parsed as a man of the people, change you can believe in, a strong war savvy businesses leader, bullish and capable of saving the world. A hero, one who can be your significant other, stand for any cause you desire, your regular Joe you can have a beer with and throw a baseball like the best of them. Completely all-American, rolled up sleeves like the working man, a perpetual grin that’s eerily warm, eliciting a faux trustworthiness. The prime candidate, the one everyone wants to vote for. Entertainment and projected desire at its peak. Aiming for the trifecta of 3 terms.

STING RAYMAN
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Australia
CLASSIFICATION: Teen
BIO: A beer loving individual that had an unfortunate ocean mishap, losing multiple kegs of beer aboard the HMS Meill Nyers, to a cadre of violent stingrays. In light of this tragic event, he remained steadfast in his desire to become a lifeguard, however choosing to don the appearance of a stingray (which he surfed back to shore) as a warning to potential loss of cold bevs upon the unstable and unstoppable ocean waves. An unfortunate consequence of said suit however, is the expense required to keep it moist and slick Australian sun.

REGULAR JOE
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Qatar
CLASSIFICATION: Warrior
BIO: Personifying ordinary, almost displaying a shameful regret and remorse for his powers and abilities, appearing sheepish, almost shy.
