GOAT-GIRL

Full Name: Mary Pratt
Super Hero/Villain Name: Goat-Girl
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Occupation: Goat, Girl
Team Affiliation: None

General Appearance: Unlike most teenage girls, Pratt has the head of a black-furred male goat with prominent yellowed horns. Her eyes are orange with horizontal slits like any other member of that species. The goat part of her anatomy extended down to her neck. Otherwise she has the body of a human female. Because her head lacks human vocal anatomy, she is effectively mute, only able to bleat as a goat does. She communicates through pen and paper or assistive technology.

Personality: For a girl with the head of a goat, Pratt is incredibly positive, almost to the point of being Pollyannaish. She always looks on the bright side of things and often punctuates written speech with smiles, hearts, and other icons of happiness. Pratt is a social butterfly, often trying to converse with everyone and anyone around her. This goes doubly so for the disengaged or grumpy. She seems to feel it is her mission to drag them into a world of joy.

In spite of a relatively weak power, Pratt is protective of her friends and allies often trying to headbutt enemies and obstacles. Given her appearance, she often faces hostility from non-humans who view her as a threat either as an obvious mutant or some sort of demon. Even to these people, she tries to be friendly. Showing them more pity than anything else. 

Pratt's power, such as it is, is having the head of a goat. She can headbutt with horns when necessary. She can also see somewhat better in darkness than a human.

Weaknesses: Lacking human vocal anatomy, Pratt cannot speak. She is also very clearly a mutant. The particular nature of her mutation may be mistaken as demonic influence by some.

-Power Gained By: Mutation

-If mutant, what class? Gamma

Abilities: Pratt does not have any particular skills.

Weapons: Her horns.

Fourteen years ago, Mary Pratt was born to otherwise normal parents in suburban Michigan. Unlike most mutants whose mutation manifests around the onset of puberty, Pratt was born with hers. She is a girl with the head of a goat. Otherwise she was a perfectly normal child. Still, her parents kept her sheltered. As the Pratts had trouble for years with conceiving, there were rumors about the exact reason for her condition circulating among a multitude of subjects of gossip. The Pratts otherwise tried to give Mary a normal life, doting on her, their only child.

Eventually her parents learned of a place in upstate New York for other people with unusual abilities, backgrounds, and appearances. They felt that she would benefit from it, not to ship her away but to give her as much as they could a regular education. She traveled with them there by car, ready for a new experience.

Other Information: 

Mary stared at the oven as if trying to will it to move faster. She would know what became of the chocolate chip muffins in ten minutes, but that was far too far away. She was not really looking to eat them, although that would be nice. It was more to see if they were better than the ones before. She had practiced and practiced the recipe for this assignment in Human Ecology, what years ago would have been called Home Economics.

The first batch was hard enough to cut diamond. The second were not so much a dozen domes of flaky airiness but an undifferentiated blob over the pan. The third was a sticky under-cooked mess. Still, they were just practice. This wasn't an omelette, but it did include eggs.

She stared at the little clock ticking down the seconds. "Baaaaaaaaah!" Then she peered through the oven's glass as well. Her partner in this cooking exercise didn't seem worried. Of course, she technically lacked a stomach. DING! It was the moment of truth. Mary put on oven mitts and grabbed her pan sure that they would taste delicious in spite of the smoke.

Powersurge

Full Name: Cyrus Galvin
Super Hero/Villain Name: Powersurge
Gender: Male
Age: 40
Occupation: Electrologist, part time superhero
Team Affiliation: none

General Appearance: In the corner you can see the design of the wrist blades he most often forms for combat (Credit to www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.heromachine.com/heromachine-3-lab/ for most of the design here)

Personality: Cyrus tends to keep to himself. Partially for the safety of those around him, and also due to having a bit of depression over an incident in his past. He's not against working with others, but once the job is done he tends to slink off on his own. Not wanting anyone else to get hurt if he loses control of his abilities again.

He spends most of his time tinkering in his makeshift lab, trying to create devices that will aid his field in electronics, or attempt to cure him of his abilities. He sees his powers as a curse, instead of a blessing. He views them as a means to help out the world while he's stuck with them, but wishes to get rid of them the first chance he gets.

His body is made up of concentrated electricity, however if he isn't contained in his suit he will gradually start to dissipate and wither away. He can absorb electricity through direct contact and fire blasts of electrical energy at various levels. from a simple stun blast to a lethal electrocution. He can also create objects from electricity, such as a wristblades made out of glowing blue energy, or a platform to stand on when falling from a great height. He also has no need for food water or sleep.

Weaknesses: while his suit is durable, it can be shredded by bladed weapons or enough damage, and if that happens he will have to patch it up as fast as he can. If too much of him is outside of the suit he will start to wither away, dispersing his energy into the air and dying. He is also not a trained fighter, relying mostly on his abilities and smarts to give him the edge. So skilled hand to hand combatents could get the edge over him.

-Power Gained By: The results of an electrical device he was creating having a meltdown and unleashing it's energies onto him.

Abilities: Is a genius in the field of electricity, and a decent engineer as well. Tends to invent in his spare time, but nothing of note aside from the machine that gave him his powers

Weapons: While not a formally trained fighter, Cyrus has grown a fondness for making medium length Wristblades with his powers.

Dr Cyrus Galvin was an Electrologist. Attempting to create a new power source that would lower the cost of efficient power in major cities. One night while tinkering around in his lab, his prototype malfunctioned, exploding in a mix of electrical energy and conductive chemicals. When he awoke, he found himself made of a light blue, glowing energy. He got up on his rubber boots, but as soon as he reached for a door he felt a sharp pain! Yanking his hand away, it shrunk smaller for a moment. It soon returned to normal size, but Cyrus felt drained a bit from it.

It wasn't long before he realized he needed to insulate himself to stay in tact, so he scrounged up some spare parts from hazmat suits around his lab, Cyrus ran out, heading for his home. He tried to explain the situation to his wife, but she panicked. She attempted to run, and in a split second Cyrus reached out to grab her arm in a plea for help. What he didn't foresee however, was a jolt of energy slipping out and stopping his wife's heart. Wracked with grief, Cyrus's neighbors would soon call the police on him. Accused of murder from what the witness saw, Cyrus spent five years in prison. Once he got out his first plan of action was to create a more advanced and protective suit. Made out of a durable rubber material. He spent months sealed inside his lab, testing his powers and how to control them. It was only once he felt confident in his level of control did he start to leave his lab for periods of time. If there is some big crisis, or he stumbles upon the scene, Cyrus will attempt to use his abilities to aid those around him, but when in his lab, he's always looking for ways to remove the powers he sees as a curse upon him.

sliding down the telephone wires, energy crackling around his feet, Cyrus was clearing his head. Despite his suit he could still feel the air swooshing past his face, and the tingling of electricity from the wiring. Glowing bright in the night air, it wouldn't be long till he saw what appeared to be a car chase. Between a pair or robbers, and the police.

Leaping down from the pole he landed on top of the fleeing vehicle, denting the roof from impact. Quickly zapping the guns out of the goons hands, he formed a spike around his left arm, plunging it into the car before forming a long ropelike beam of energy from his right arm, whipping it around a nearby phone tower. Struggling to keep the car in place, he sent a jolt of energy through the car and into the tires, popping them. Keeping the doors held tight before the police got closer, Cyrus walked away before the cops had a chance to question him. More attention was the last thing he needed.

General Appearance:



Personality:

Luiz is a calm, sociable geek that loves RPG and tackles life as it if he is a player on a campaign he cannot quit, being a paper and pen RPG lover he always try to look for an equivalent in real life and vice and versa and LOVES heroism and heroic acts and hates crimes, cowards, noobs and bullying, because of the magic he also have acquired traits from his playable character, such as courage, above average focus and concentration and a tranquil mind but his battle experience are from his RPG sessions.

Being now trapped in the body of one of his PCs, Luiz carries a lot of frustrations clearly being NOT what he wanted, he gets offense in being mistaken as a woman even if he is now biologically one, and it gets even worse since now he suffers every woman conditions depending on the day of the week, he has no fashion sense and can't behave as a woman should in most situations.

The Dungeon master enchanted book:

Luiz possesses and is linked to a magical RPG book that was previously a Dungeon master book, which granted him powers in a fashion similar to that RPG's rules, while changing his life drastically in a way that cannot be undone and it is as it follows:

Magical resistant body: The book has transformed Luiz into a exact equivalent to his Playable character(now on refereed as PC) and this change cannot be reversed, and also grants him minor magical resistance.

Luiz has been granted magic powers according to the PC he was playing when using the book that includes:

- Arcane and divine knowledge: As any mid leveled Wizard in his RPG would have which enables Luiz to understand magic, identify magic and magical creatures brew magical concoctions(This last bit will always be submitted in the appropriate are before being applied in his adventures).

- Conjure a blinding light.

- Become invisible( It has a big probability to fail or simply not work as intended.)

Abilities: 

- He can Cook

- Speak english and spanish since it is not his native language

- He is an excellent speaker(thought it fails once he finds an attractive female.)

- He is a quick learner

Luiz was born in a medium class family, with a normal childhood transitioning into a pretty standard person, leading a normal life studying mechanic engineering, but mostly dedicating his time to pen and paper RPGs,becoming known in the community after years of contributions to a certain famous RPG and started to live from it by being a professional Dungeon Master being a reference in the community.

Things changed drastically when he received via mail a new Dungeon Master book that was supposed to be a new revised version of the newest version of the said RPG. Happy for getting the new book and oblivious to its real origin he invited his friends over to play a campaign with the book agreeing to be one of the players this time as he was teaching one of his friends how to be a DM, since he was the first one to create his character and submitting it to the DM, the book showed its true nature and transformed Luiz "Lord of the Lightings" Pacheco into Laura Brehm, the Wizard, immediately after the panic subsiding the now Laura Brehm was aware of her new link with the book and presumed that was his/her destiny to be a hero now that he got his newfound powers, being as he put himself "the representative of the geeks in the hero realm." Moving from Brazil to the US, manhattan more specifically since it is almost like the place for heroes.

 

"Ms. Laura Brehm... can you focus? it is the third time already."

An annoyed female figure asked to the exotic Wizard like young woman that was sitting in the front chairs of a classroom, which was intently staring to all the calculations that were written on the chalk board looking for a sense in all that was there.

"You sure i can't cast a spell to make that 3 a 4? if it were on real life i could do it..."

The exotic Wizard threw the question even though she already knew the answer that came in an even more annoyed voice:

"Alright, Ms. Brehm, Only and only if you make a gnome appear before me okay?"

Completely unknowing the situation the sarcasm of the teacher had triggered a sincere smile accompanied with a lot of relief to the young wizard that happily stood and asked again:

"A gnome? that simple? Alright then."

She quickly took the enchanted grimoire out of her belt and opened it as she started to mutter a illusion, pretty lights started to dance around her culminating into a globe of green light that quickly exploded obfuscating for a brief moment the face of the jaw dropped teacher that stood frost by awe by what was happening in the class room, only to be more impressed when the light faded to its normal showing the gnome.

"Here is your gnome Mrs.Tater, whew thought it was going to be a lot more harder than it was, see you tomorrow."

The Wizard started packing her things while quickly leaving the class room, it was already late, her teacher had promised that she wouldn't leave until she had finished that one question she knew it wouldn't be enough to have her out of the loop but that whole situation was going to be enough to escape that dungeon for today and it was all that mattered that moment.
