BEGGAR BILL
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Mythical
BIO: A curious case of finding hero fame, as if a 90's comedy, a tale of a down on his luck vagrant finding an unmarked hero license, to validate him as a hero. Unfortunately such a gift comes with a wealth of misfortune, as many attempt to claim this coveted prize for themselves.

CON TEX
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Aethyrial
BIO: An eternal lawman. One time US Marshal, up until being shot to death in a nightmare scenario while hunting down a highly volatile fugitive turned super-criminal. Returning from the dead, with the ability to command deceased criminals like deputised denizens of Hell, a service they must perform for redemption. Quick wits, fast on the draw, and equally slick on the quips.

RETRO KID
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Teen
BIO: Un-aging, stuck in a curious wedge of time, an unfortunate product of the 90's. Surprised that people over 30 aren't dead, despite being almost 40 himself. Pegged with the 'retro' moniker and often deemed a nostalgia victim in spite of his condition. In recent times however, he was able to turn this irritation into a lucrative venture, capitalising on the rampant nostalgia and retro phase. And inherently glad that it wasn't the hippy swinging 60's nonsense he had to indulge. Currently he's looking back to a fourth dimensional future.

GLORYHOUND
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Cybernetic
BIO: An MMA cyber-augmented fighter, decked out with an array of borderline legal gear. A controversial figure, most prominent in Combat Sports Unlimited, not beyond participating in entertainment and spectacle fights on the side. Vastly entertaining, with a love of fame, appreciative of the fans and generally getting people all riled up for a great slugfest.

IRON WILL
PLACE OF ORIGIN: North Korea
CLASSIFICATION: Teen
BIO: Having escaped North Korea into Russia, and into the so-called 'free world,' he doesn't take kindly to the ignorant degenerate posers playing 'hero.' Seeing it as insulting and disrespectful, in addition to making a mockery of human suffering, what he sees as an unfortunate plague of first world problems. With strong determination, and a questionable amount of disdain, he is adamant about restoring a balance and peace keeping. Publicly critical of the matter, and extremely logical, he demands change, to see true heroes respected, particularly the unsung ones.

NULL
PLACE OF ORIGIN: UAE
CLASSIFICATION: Espionage
BIO: A young man sold and traded since childhood, living in the backs of different trucks across the region. In his early teen years sold at a child fashion show, only to be castrated, living as a slave for several years before escaping and being recruited into the covert ranks of Proto-6. An off the books division of eunuchs, as elite guards and political envoys, trading on their distinct loyalties to the mission, with no ability to be bought or compromised. Able to render himself tabula rasa, separating mind and body -- turning himself into a blank slate to complete the task by any means necessary. Most recently, the intelligence provided resulted in the critical details of an arms deal leading to the assassination of one of the most wanted villains of this generation (the film of which is to be released by Mogul Media.)

NURSE REINHARDT
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Germany
CLASSIFICATION: Golden Age
BIO: Since her move to America, she is best known as 'the doctor to heroes,' an inaccurate title, born purely of marketing out of early Hollywood. With broad claims in treating and healing indiscriminately, less fortunate at various pro bono clinics, only for the latter to never have existed, in some instances rumoured to be responsible and tied to various missing persons. Additionally, under her administration several patient documents were widely leaked to various media outlets. Never directly addressing the various atrocities, instead stating that her primary focus has always been in vanity cosmetic surgery and hero implants and grafting for society's elite. Despite a career rife with scandals, controversy and a wealth of lawsuits, she is still practicing, and headlining numerous reality shows as a hero icon.

THE CLEANER
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Egypt
CLASSIFICATION: Golden Age
BIO: A mysterious individual part of the ancient Order of the Scarab, a subsect of the cult of Khepri, timeless cleaners, specialists in sanitising scenes, particularly those of extreme activity. Discreet, rapid and clinically efficient. Making a notable appearance in the aftermath of The Zero Day event, requiring complex containment and decontamination of the scene, and so it was before the break of dawn.

ROCK51
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Japan
CLASSIFICATION: Aethyrial
BIO: When Rock51, rebel with a cause, leader of the ‘James Deamons’ was asked “Why does he do what he does?” and “What villains would he be battling next?” his only response was “Whatu habe you godt?” before speeding away on his supercharged retrofitted jetcycle. Rock51 is co-owner of a rockabilly bar and barbershop, in addition to being frontman in his rockabilly band of the same name. He keeps relatively quiet about his origin, albeit, growing up, his choices of heroes appeared to be either in baseball or yakuza. Instead, he chose: Elvis and James Dean, not without dark and tragic circumstances. Nonetheless, a kick-ass super-cool slick as all Hell fighter, retro-rockets and karate, hairdo and looking good is just as important as kicking ass.

MEDIA MOGUL
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Legendary
BIO: The head of Mogul Media, an obnoxious rich media scumbag, part of an organised global network of power hungry goons bent on being 'richer than God,' simultaneously dubbing themselves a religion for further tax benefits, additional property and devoted labour. Effectively a criminal operating with the protection of an army of legal sharks, and public relations spinning all manner of 'news,' in owning the media, any story can be quashed, rewritten, controlled and turned into a film, tv show, documentary to effectively rewrite the narrative and in turn history. Setting himself up as a glorious hero, having fought in wars, some of which never existed, like his sense of morality. He's alleged to have helped and hired actual villains fund various media projects, in addition to being a strong supporter of President Elite.

SIMON SIMONE
PLACE OF ORIGIN: France
CLASSIFICATION: Aethyrial
BIO: A classical thief and fashion designer, well versed in the occult. Considered the premiere fashion designer for some of the world's greatest heroes, creating costumes costing ridiculous sums of money, which more often than not, were bought by the insanely rich rather than the heroes themselves. Travelling in fashion circles as a means of furthering her art, but also infiltrating the upper rungs of society to target marks, investigate criminal activities and their networks for the picking, in addition to just enjoying the absurdity of it all. By no means an elitist, coming from humble beginnings, she has a secondary line of affordable hero attire available, in addition to creating and funding various charities.

THE ALPHA
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Golden Age
BIO: Hailed as the progenitor of hero genes, or at the least, the first stable genes capable of being spliced and grafted for the Hero Genome Project. With far reaching applications, such as pharmaceutical products, produce or being spliced into super-soldiers (before the more recent integration of nanites.) Given the lucrative potential, it was unsurprising that his genes were harvested to the point of depletion, leaving him without powers beyond ageing, a mere relic and reminder of the fouled system. Displeased with the damage done, and exploitative nature of the project, foolishly believing in 'the cause,' at the time young and naïve, although currently he still believes in the good of humanity and its potential, therefore in all likelihood, he would probably do the same thing again, but not quite as foolishly. A tough position to hold, yet one he speaks very openly about the matter, appearing at public events and discussions on the complex hero issue.

GOSPODIN MR. PRESIDENT
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Russia
CLASSIFICATION: Intellect
BIO: Calculating and openly dangerous, described by some as a 'dapper thug.' A walking travesty added to the political circus, a likely candidate in the running against President Elite, a psychopath flaunting numerous crimes as poor comedic bits. Little can be substantiated about him, as the full extent of his history on lockdown, with only controlled public records available. In the growing ridiculous spectacle, he makes a formidable opponent with a lot of leverage against the current President. In addition to numerous supporters globally, in particular other politicians vocal in regards to moving towards a union of 'Presidents for Life.'

GALAXY JONES
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Haiti
CLASSIFICATION: Tech
BIO: A vodou technomancer blues legend, with a powerful vocal range and thoughtful mystique. Playing and singing in a meld of analogue and digital fusion, consisting of voodoo melodies, delta blues with modern rhythms and rock beats. Cool, loving, protective and giving to the community, she redefines a new crossroad mythology, where no souls are sold, but great catharsis takes place, a freedom and unburdening in the process, taken to new heights against the velvet sky of the galaxy. Betwixt and between, streaming through the cosmic delta, her songs often focus on a universal realignment and the good in people, despite often dark themes. In an extension of creation and communication with the loa, generating a deep resonating alchymy within the spirit spanning the great cosmic void, the tunes carrying her audience on a journey unifying body and soul, towards a wholeness of being. Seeing her live venues in particular, as a shared transcendental experience where giving is reciprocated and all are uplifted.

FUN RUNNER
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Australia
CLASSIFICATION: Tech
BIO: A champion runner, allegedly involved in a Hero Gene Doping Scandal, amid the media circus and controversy, no investigations were discussed regarding his use of tech, instead sensationalising and click-baiting. In spite of the controversy, he's a popular figure with an infectious smile bring joy to many. The question of whether he's running away from things, or running towards something. Always running, always smiling. Some suspect that behind that smile is a boy running away from his problems, and fast towards new ones, towing his life long baggage with him.

THE DIRECTOR
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Cybernetic
BIO: A sell out who suffered severe near lethal injures. The result of multiple pyrotechnic and animatronic malfunctions, in an attempt to make the most obnoxious and bombastic set pieces at the expense of health and safety, in addition to cutting costs, pure ego and no narrative reasoning. The disgraced director avoided jail time with an insanity plea (in addition to the army of lawyers) and rehabilitation. Rebuilt through a mesh of animatronics and cybernetics, at odds with elements of his now limited human-self, faced with the gravity and hubris of actions, the aforementioned selling out and loss of soul. The question in entertainment circles remains what he will do next in the current climate of heroes.

RAI YU
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Japan
CLASSIFICATION: Tech
BIO: Chipped tuned for augmented intelligence, fast and intelligent, remarkably expressive to the point people believe he's talking. An instant social sensation, a quick rise to fame, appearing in numerous adventures, most of which are documented in his own long running series of shows broadcast and streamed across the globe. The most famous of which is 'Rai Yu: Special Investigator,' globe-trotting, hunting down and bringing criminals to justice.

SILVER TONGUE
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Aethyrial
BIO: A master manipulator of linguistics, gilded gift of the gab, effortlessly capable of invisibly and instantly reframing narratives. Taking NLP to the next level, rising out of backdrop of dark Hollywood tales as a 'super agent,' with almost no deal he could he couldn't seal. Sporting some of the world's most expensive suits, not only bulletproof, but impervious to stains. A grotesque industry, with shady ties to organised crime, protecting criminals and helping degenerates reinvent themselves, the manner of ilk comes as no surprise. However, as an integral part of this 'hero' making machine, loose lips have alleged that he is in fact an actual agent, deep cover sleeper, placed within the industry primed for full force and judgement of the justice system.

SPOKESPERSON
PLACE OF ORIGIN: USA
CLASSIFICATION: Intellect
BIO: A cunning public relations master, breaking the traditional American stereotype, saying little, speaking volumes. Able to navigate lengthy and complex issues, reducing them to simple digestible bites, making him an expert negotiator, tactician, and all round specialist of speech capable of spinning any story. Ultimately sly, and not to be trusted.

SISTER STAYSIS
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Ireland
CLASSIFICATION: Legendary
BIO: An operative within the clandestine gnostic order of the clockwork universe, a secret sect predating modern Christianity, deemed heretical. Covertly infiltrating different organisations, working steadily against the corruption in the Vatican Intelligence, among other nefarious organised religious networks. A high ranking disciple of the order, well versed in the ancient koine texts, understanding that which is beyond the mortal coil, the journey of the spirit in eternity beyond the constraints of time, in direct conjunction with the very fabric of the universe. As a result, she is capable of time manipulations dilations and distortions with a plasmate engine, to the intent of throwing a wrench into the infernal engines of a compromised machine.
