Bio: Jonathan Cross was born in Delmor by mother, Diana Cross and father, George Cross. Jon's father was a well renowned cop in Delmor and his family was pretty well off. As early as the age of 1, Jon was starting to form complete sentences and was able to have pretty intellectual conversations with his mother and father. By the age of five, Jon was doing advanced math, science, and english for fun and by the recommendation of teachers and friends, Mr. and Mrs. Cross sent Jon away to an advanced school for advanced learning located in the neighboring city of Cleanopolis. Jon never understood why he had to leave his mom and dad so early and at such a young age, but the truth was that his parents just could not keep up with the way their son thought and did things so perfectly.

So Jon left and a year after his brother, James Cross was born. Jon would visit his family from time to time, but the way his school ran, Jon was always busy with something there. Only during the summer did he have time to visit his family. Three years after Jon's brother, James, was born, his parents gave birth to another son who went by the name of Mitchell. Jon's parents were now getting burdened down with the cost of raising three kids, one of them in a very expensive school. Jon's schooling helped though. He was turning into a strong an confident boy, very handsome and respected at his school. By the age of sixteen, talks of Jon graduating early were being discussed with his parents, but the cost of his school was starting to become unbelievable for his parents. Soon after Jon's school had talked to his parents about graduating early, Jon was called into the dean's office and told by a police officer that his parents were dead. Jon's father had shot his mother and then himself. Jon was stricken with grief and because of this news and the embarrassment that Jon's father had caused, Jon changed his last name from Cross to Johnson, which was his mother's real last name before she married Jon's father.

He had wanted to make his parents so proud. They had done everything they could to give Jon a good life. To make matters even worse, Jon's brother, Mitchell, was missing and apparently nowhere to be found. Jon was supposed to go to his parents' funeral but he couldn't bare to go 1) because he was ashamed of his father and 2) he knew he would break down and never want to go back to school and after everything his parents had gone through to get him to where he was, Jon was not going to throw that all away. So Jon continued his studies... in a negative way. He never left to go outside anymore. He was always inside, next to a computer screen, or working inside a lab. Then one day, Jon's brother, James came to visit and it was then James let Jon have it. James blamed Jon for all of their parents' strife and because Jon's school had been so expensive it caused an eruption at the Cross household, leading to their parent's death.

Jon was never the same after that encounter. His brain still worked like a machine, but Jon started becoming unsure of himself and gained a slump and a stutter. Jon graduated by the time he was seventeen and right when he graduated he was picked up one of Delmor's wealthiest and most successful people, Mr. Eugene Snottsborn of Snottsborn Industries. Eugene was tough, and most of the times unreasonable, but he promised Jon, who Snottsborn said, "had a lot of amazing potential," a spot as the Assistant Head Designer of Cleaning Material. (Jon would be the assistant to... Snottsborn... who besides being the boss loved to be in charge of EVERYTHING!) Jon started the work and loved it, but Snottsborn always seemed to be giving Jon a hard time. Because of Jon's insecurities, after a while it became a regular thing and by the time Jon was 26, he had been working with Snottsborn for 9 years!

Name: Jonathan Mikantish
AKA: Dr. Mikantish
Current Age: 51
Appearance: Jonathan is a tall man who is just a little overweight. His hair line is starting to recede but he has a kindly face. He is most often seeing his medical scrubs and lab coat.
Weakness: Normal
Personality: Dr. Mikantish is an extremely extroverted individual that runs a tidy ship. He lives rather modestly for a Doctor as he donates the majority of his money.

Jonathan treats everyone with great respect and develops strong relationships with everyone he knows. He believes that if he helps even one person a day it’ll make things better in the long run and perhaps some day the suffering in the world will disappear.
Jonathan doesn’t typically toot his own horn but has very good self esteem and likes people around him, he keeps most of his stresses to himself as he doesn’t like adding his burdens to the shoulders of his friends. He communicates very well and is married with a daughter.

He doesn’t believe in The God from Jewish, Muslim and Christian Text however he does believe in a higher being that is guiding them but allows them to make their own decisions and learn from their mistakes.

His strongest personality point is his immense capacity for caring and devotion to kindness. Despite the grimmest things that can happen and the pain he has seen Jonathan tries his absolute best to make other people feel better or comfortable. His weakest point is how deeply he can get hurt when something doesn’t work out when he tries so hard to make it. His Lawful good nature makes him unique because it is his most enduring quality and is becoming harder and harder to find in modern society
Biography: Jonathan is a native Delmorian and has lived in the town his whole life. Growing up he was taught from very early on the value of education and treating everyone equally. With this thought in mind Jonathan was determined to become a Doctor and save people of every social status, race, creed and religion. After graduating from College he took a number of jobs in different hospitals until he became wealthy enough to start his own hospital: The Mikantish Foundation.
Jonathan was particularly close to his dad, a veteran of WWII and a kinder soul than any he knew however he loved his mother as well. Together they taught Jonathan values that he carried with him through the rest of his life. Jonathan was an only child but was not raised to be a brat and learned the value of a hard days work. As mentioned before Jonathan was taught to treat everyone equally and leave no one out. He was often taken advantage of throughout his schooling but was well liked by all of his class mates and graduated at the top of his class. He quickly excelled through college as well and found himself being asked to intern at numerous hospitals throughout the country Instead Jonathan joined the military and decided to be a field doctor, attending to the wounded of war. After his service he returned home and began amassing funds to build his hospital. Once the hospital was built he steadily accumulated the majority of Delmor’s residents’ trust and has become the leading hospital there. What makes Jonathan’s hospital unique is that it is the only hospital in the state, perhaps even country, that serves super powered humans.
Goals/Motives: No one is quite sure why someone as successful as Jonathan would do something so controversial as opening a hospital with a “Super” wing. For Jonathan the answer is simple. Everyone is entitled to medical care in his eyes, even if they dress up flamboyantly and cause chaos in the city. Jonathan services villains and heroes alike and never requires them to disclose their identities to him and even if they do he keeps them confidential as patient to doctor information. Needless to say this has stirred quite a bit of controversy in Delmor but Jonathan stays the course because he believes strongly in helping people.
Vices: Jonathan can get very stressed out since he doesn’t communicate his emotions to other people, this leads to periods of depression. When he gets impatient he snaps his fingers and blinks more frequently. His pet peeves are people who expect others to help them but aren’t first willing to help themselves or expect others to perform miracles but get angry when it doesn’t necessarily work.

DECEASED

Name: Michael Greene
AKA: Mike
Current Age: 18
Appearance: Michael is tall at six feet two with dark brown hair. Despite a lot of his friends who have the straight, ‘hippy-dippy’ hair, Michael keeps his hair short and usually styles it up in the front. His eyes are an intense green, and are known to intimidate even the toughest of guys. Thanks to a summer of life-guarding, Michael has a slight tan. His clothing usually consists of plain T-shirts and jeans with a tan canvas jacket during the winter and fall.
Costume: A black hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans. He wears sunglasses to conceal most of his face. This is only temporary, since he is working on designs for a more ‘professional’ costume.
Primary Power: Animal Mimicry. Michael is able to mimic the special properties of any animal, like the flight of a bird, or the electricity of an eel.
Secondary Power(s): He is a black belt in Taekwondo so he can mix his martial arts into his abilities to help him fight. For instance, he can use the proportional strength of a rhinoceros beetle to power his punches and kicks.
Weakness: Michael can only hold onto one ‘animal ability’ at a time, so if he tries to use a moth’s sense of smell while flying like a bird, he’ll fall right out of the sky.
Personality: Michael can usually be described as calm and laid-back, but there is always something at work somewhere behind those piercing green eyes. He has a general respect for others, and tries to treat people with courtesy whenever possible. Michael is a sucker for the ladies, and always treats them right, no matter what. If there is a problem or situation that is thrown at him, Michael doesn’t blindly run into head-first, he thinks calmly about it in order to make the best decision. In some situations, Michael is somewhat suave and can usually crack a smile and make some sort of witty or sarcastic comment.
Biography: Michael led a relatively normal life. He had two compassionate parents and a little sister that was four years younger than him. From the start, Michael was intelligent and had very quick problem-solving skills. He excelled in his education, yet came up short when it came to athletics. In spite of this, he managed to make a lot of great friends that went with him up to high school. Michael was part of a tight bond of friends that he could share everything with and still be accepted, guys and girls alike. Starting out in Taekwondo at an early age Michael was able to make it to the top of his class by using his natural ability to think quickly and out maneuver his opponents. Michael started to compete in various tournaments, shaping his body to be the best in the state.

High school was really when Michael’s life got even better. Friends could still be trusted; his loving parents still there for him through good times and bad, and he was able to protect his little sister from a lot of perverts. In his sophomore year, Michael obtained his driver’s license and now was able to hang out with his friends even more.

His junior year was when it all came crashing down. His little sister Elise was kidnapped by gangsters and held her up for ransom. In a failed rescue attempt by the police, Elise was killed and the gangbangers got away. Depressed, Michael would spend days at a time in his room, only coming out to go to school. Only in the past two months have the wounds from that terrible ordeal started to heal. With his recent discover that he had the power to mimic the special properties of different animals, a single thought came into his mind: revenge. He would turn into a hero to make up for the fact that he couldn’t save his sister, all the while trying to find the men who killed Elise.

Now, life has turned back to the normal state it was… somewhat. Michael is the same that he had always been; except now there is a darker, more cynical part to him now. With the recent turn of events, he has no idea where his life will go after high school.
Goals/Motives:
-Finish school
-Become a hero
-Find the men who killed his sister
Vices: Michael is known to chew the sides of his mouth when thinking intensely of a subject.

Name: Suzanna Ezra
AKA: Zii
Current Age: 20
Appearance:
Zii stands at about 5' 6" and weighs around 135 pounds. She's naturally curvy and a bit busty, two facts she's not afraid to use to her advantage. Zii's skin is pale, probably due to her largely nocturnal lifestyle. Her sleek, black hair is cut short and kept in a state of disarray, constantly falling about her face. Her eyes are the color of fresh blood. If asked about them, she attributes the color to colored contacts.

Zii's wardrobe consists of articles purchased from thrift stores and accessories stolen from stores she can't afford to shop in. She generally dresses in blacks, whites, and grays with maybe an occasional red thrown in there for good measure. When not working or clubbing, Zii tends to look like she just rolled out of bed and threw on whatever she found lying around. This is because that is exactly what she did. Zii doesn't try to look like she doesn't give a damn. She just honestly doesn't give a damn.

Costume: N/A

Primary Power: Zii has yet to discover any abilities.

Secondary Power(s): N/A (yet).

Weakness: Zii is a sucker for a pretty face.

Personality: Zii has chilled out a bit since her high school years, "a bit" being the operative term. Zii tries to put on an air of apathy, but she's easily ruffled and won't hesitate in the slightest to start a fight. Zii tries to keep others at a safe distance, her life experiences having taught her that people don't stick around for long. In the off chance that someone does manage to get too close to Zii, she usually just packs up and leaves. She defines the boundaries of her relationships, and she decides how close you're going to get.

Zii likes to keep conversations shallow, and generally jokes or changes the subject if topics begin to get too deep. She maintains relationships with others only when it is convenient for her. Everyone has their secrets, and she'll let you keep yours as long as you don't try to take hers.

Biography: If you ask Zii about her past while she's sober, she's likely to show you a certain digit on a certain body part which carries a certain lewd connotation and tell you to mind your own business. If you ask her while she's in a slightly less-than-sober state, she's likely to give you a slurry and expletive-filled dissertation on why her father can choke on a certain part of the male reproductive system.

Zii was born into what seemed, initially, to be a rather pleasant Jewish family. The first child of a young and nervous couple, Zii caused a bit of a stir when she was born. She had all her fingers and toes, two eyes in the right place, and a set of strong, healthy lungs, but what seemed most unusual about Zii was, firstly, the fact that she was born with black hair. In itself, this isn't an all too unusual occurrence...until you take into account that her mother was a red head, her father had brown hair, and nobody, not even as far back as four generations on either side, had even the tiniest tint of black sprouting from their heads. Secondly, Zii was born with red eyes. No one needs to explain why this is a bit unusual.

Zii's appearance had her mother in a panic, her father ready to hire a divorce lawyer, and the doctors frantically scouring through medical journals for some kind of explanation. Finally, as a gesture of hopelessness, the doctors gave a shrug of their shoulders, told Zii's parents that it was just some kind of rare genetic mutation, and sent the troubled family on their way.

This explanation wasn't satisfactory for one member of Zii's family, however. Upon taking his fragile, odd grandchild into his arms, something snapped in the mind of Zii's grandfather. He began prattling off prophesies, hysterically howling about the end of the world, and how Zii was the incarnation of someone--or something--he called "Abaddon".

Two months later, Zii's grandfather was put in a nursing home, considered too unsound to continue to live on his own. Before going, he hid a long, rectangular box for Zii in the crawlspace of the baby's bedroom, attaching to it a note that instructed her not to open it until she knew the time was right. He lived three more months, then passed away quietly in his room.

As Zii began to grow, things in the house became strained. Zii's father was still not convinced that his daughter's appearance was due to a deformity and not his wife's infidelity. He became suspicious and possessive and took to drinking. Zii's mother was suffering from postpartum depression. She would have fantasies about harming Zii or herself, and she was prone to emotional breakdowns. Her condition was aggravated further by her husband's mistrust. She blamed Zii for tearing apart her marriage and her life.

One night, Zii's mother toppled over the edge. Zii's father came home to find his wife in the bathroom filling the bathtub while the helpless and crying Zii lay in it. Next to her was a bottle of aspirin and a bottle of gin. The terrified husband stopped her just in time to save his child, but too late to save his wife's sanity. Zii's mother was sent to a mental institution, and Zii never heard from her again.

Zii's father, now a single parent, did the best he could to keep Zii happy and healthy. He blamed himself for his wife's condition, and his guilt temporarily snapped him out of the hole he had been living in. He worked hard to rise up the corporate ladder, sent Zii to the best schools he could afford, and even did his best to find time to attend young Zii's dance recitals. Despite Zii's tragic beginnings, things were looking up.

This era of prosperity was short lived, however. When she was eight, Zii's father, an attorney, made a critical error and lost a huge case. He was fired. Unable to find new work now that his reputation was ruined, Zii's father had to move her to public school. They took up residence in shadier and shadier neighborhoods, constantly moving with each new eviction notice. He took up drinking again.

She was nine the first time he hit her. By ten, Zii was living in foster care.

The next six years were a flurry of foster homes and bad decisions. Zii discovered the joys of booze, parties, and boys. She was constantly at odds with her foster parents, no matter who they happened to be this month. She was forced into rehab more than once. By sixteen, she had dropped out of high school and was living with a twenty-something-year-old guitarist boyfriend.

She bounced around over the course of the next two years, shacking up with boyfriends and working low-end jobs. But, when she was eighteen, she received a call from her father. He knew where she was, and he wanted to find her.

That's when Zii packed up and moved to Delmor, determined never to let her past catch up with her. She changed her number and started using fake names, only working in places that were willing to pay her cash. Now twenty, Zii works as a bartender at a local bar. She resides with her current boyfriend, Rowland Hawes.

Through all her trials and tribulations, Zii has always kept the box her grandfather left her. She has never opened it.

Goals/Motives: Zii doesn't have any specific goals or motives (unless you count dodging her family). She's happy to drift through life and go wherever it takes her.

Vices: Zii curses like two sailors having a cursing contest, smokes like a chimney, and has the libido of a dog in heat. She also drinks too much. And steals. And...well, you get the picture.

Other: When intoxicated, Zii can belch the alphabet.

Name: Josh Marshall

AKA: "The Shining Star" Jacob Nova

Current Age: 17

Appearance:
Josh stands in at 5'11", though he often rounds that up to 6', or more. He weighs in at 180 pound of, as he puts it, shear muscle. His normal outfits consist of baggy shirts, sports shirts, shorts or jeans, and very little else. He has blue eyes and blond hair that he obviously does not take too good care of.

His wrestling attire is more over-the-top, he wears a jacket out to the ring, as well as white and gold wrestling shorts, his shoes are nothing too fancy, he also wears ridiculous sunglasses. When actually in the ring, he does not wear a shirt, or the sunglasses, obviously.

Costume: His superhero attire is just as ridiculous and over-the-top. He doesn't wear a shirt, and just kind of improvised everything else on it. He kept with the white and gold color scheme and found a mask that covered his whole face, not really worrying about how strange it looked. Even though he doesn't fly, he loves to wear the cape, though is quick to abandon it in a fight.

Primary Power: While Josh doesn't seem to display any real powers, his strength and athleticism are incredibly high.

Secondary Power(s):While the source from this is unknown, his tolerance for pain is incredibly high, almost superhuman.

Weakness: Josh doesn't have any real super powers, though one weakness is the fact that he simply loves to show off when fighting, even when there's no one around to see.

Personality: Josh is very social and boisterous, he has never met a stranger. Josh also, despite his past, always seems incredibly happy.

Josh is quite the narcissist, believing himself to be simply the greatest thing to ever walk the earth. He is also completely obsessed with pro wrestling.

When bored, Josh tends to zone out, thinking about stuff he can do in wrestling, or just mess around, drumming on a nearby object or whatever he can do to avoid doing anything productive.

When excited, Josh will jump around and flail his limbs about like a crazy person.

When angry, Josh tends to go onto promo-like rants, acting as if he is ready for a fight, though he rarely does elevate to physical violence.

Josh never seems to get nervous or worried about anything.

Biography: Josh was born in a small town to a normal family. His parents didn't do anything out of the ordinary, they just worked for some local businesses. Josh had one older brother, and later, a younger sister was born into his family as well.

Josh did nothing spectacular during his young life, he did alright in school, but did not excel. Finally, he started in sports, and that was where he excelled, helping to lead his school teams to various championships in various sports. The only problem was that Josh would begin to shirk his responsibility with school and his family during the sports seasons.

He began to grow more distant from his parents, but he also grew even closer to his siblings. His brother stood up for him to the older kids, so, in turn, he stood up for his sister whenever anyone messed with her.

Josh, however, wanted to go further than school sports in his life, and that was when he discovered wrestling. Josh began training even harder, still ignoring his family and school responsibilities, in order to become a wrestler. His brother and sister were very supporting, and he managed to get his parents to support him as he went through training.

Josh began to work for a local independent at the age of 16, though he was a year too young, the owner saw too much potential in him and was prepared to look the other way.

Josh was very impressionable at that age, and many of the guys that wrestled there were into some dark stuff, which Josh fell into so that he could feel more like part of the group.

Josh got involved in a dark circle of drugs and alcohol while he worked there, and grew even further from his family. At this point, he was unable to do any sports in school and barely even showed up anymore. The only thing he did anymore was wrestle, and even then, he would use that as an excuse to take pain killers before and after shows.

The only thing that could really bring him out of this darkness was his sister, who often hung out with him backstage, and who he stuck up for to the guys, who often made advances at her.

Unfortunately, he couldn't always be there to protect her.

One day, when he was doing a match, one of the guys got tired of being refused by Josh's sister. So, while she was watching from backstage, he grabbed her. This man beat his sister and did God knows what else to her.

After Josh had finished his match, he heard that his sister was in the hospital. Then, he snapped, and began to attack all the guys backstage, not knowing which one had did this to her, but just knowing it was one of them.

When he finally found out who it was, he attacked the man, injuring him so that he would never be able to wrestle again.

Due to these actions, Josh was fired. After that, and with his sister in the hospital, Josh grew more depressed and secluded himself completely from the outside world.

One day, he finally packed up and left, wandering away, not knowing where he was going, just knowing he could not stay. Eventually, he found his way to Delmor. There he began working on starting up an independent wrestling circuit of his own.

Here, he also decided to carve out a new life, to make up for what he had done, he began trying to stop crime, wanting no one else to have to go through what he did. Knowing every victim was someone's brother, sister, son, daughter, mother, father, or something.

Goals/Motives: Josh wants to prove himself as the greatest wrestler in the world. He also wants to protect the innocent whenever he can.

Vices: Josh has struggled with various addictions in the past, and, even though he is too young, Josh has been known to drink and has also struggled with addictions to nicotine and tobacco.

Other: Josh says that his best and most important skill is his great ability to improvise.

Name: Daniel Gordon
AKA: Paladin (Eventually)
Current Age: 22
Appearance: Daniel is tall at 6’2 with black, wavy hair. He keeps it short however, stating that when it grows out, ‘it looks like a huge poof-ball.’ Since he has his abilities to do a lot of tasks for him, he isn’t very muscular, but isn’t like a stick. Daniel’s light blue eyes are his most noticeable trait, as they almost ‘sparkle’ in the sunlight. His skin is fair, as his family is from up north where it’s cold… all of the time.
Costume: Not yet
Primary Power: Telekinesis. He has the ability to move objects from a distance with his mind. This has many advantages, as he can lift cars and maybe even a bus with ease, along with creating shields and a blast of invisible energy.
Secondary Power(s): Flight. Using his telekinesis to lift himself, Daniel can fly at high speeds, but not too high; he doesn’t want his clothes to be ripped off.
Weakness: Headaches severely weaken him. A migraine leaves him totally powerless. Alcohol also affects him more than others for some reason.
Personality: Daniel is a pretty easy-going guy. He likes to have fun on occasions, but not if it means breaking the law. He has a very strong since of justice and rights and wrongs. Also, the young man tries to help anyone who is in need, as he feels he is finally free to do so with his abilities.
Biography: Daniel led a relatively normal life in his childhood. He has two parents who are still together and a sister that is five years younger than him. Growing up in a strict religious household, Daniel was taught values and morals before he could walk. The first time he exhibited abilities was when his family went to Disney World when he was twelve. A during a ride, a seatbelt came loose and threw a little girl into the air, threatening to kill her with the terrible fall. However, Daniel was able to redirect the girl’s course so she fell into a body of water, therefore only sustaining minor injuries. Since then, Daniel practiced in secret with his power, eventually developing a way to fly by turning his telekinesis onto himself. All throughout high school Daniel used his telekinesis as a way of transportation and helping in the community, clandestinely, of course. College rolled around and he managed to adapt to that as well. Now he’s trying to make his way in the world, completely unaware of his true destiny.
Goals/Motives:
-Become a superhero
-Save everyone he can
Vices: Sometimes, he’s too smart for his own good.
Other: A weak spot in his life is relationships. Daniel (the good kid) always seems to attract the bad and rebellious girls.
