They are among us. Living their lives like every other person. Well, during the day that is. At night, they are superheroes that fight crime and deliver justice. Although they sometimes do it during the day too.
They go to school with you. You might not even know it, but they help you out. They just have to keep their identities secret, but that's not easy.
Crime is on the rise. The criminals are getting more cunning, better equipment. The police can't catch them. It's up to you. You're the only one who can stop them, as far as you know. You're quickly becoming a hero, and it's harder to keep your identity a secret. Harder to catch them. But then you find out there are others, others just like you. You just have to find them before worse things start happening.

Note that your Alias is what everyone calls your superhero, not your nickname.  Name: Grace Abigail Dawson
Alias: Mystery
Age: 17
Personality: Grace is generally a quiet soul. She loves the outdoors, and loves to write and paint. She doesn't make friends very easily, prefering to remain aloof in case someone should discover her powers. However, she is usually gentle and kind, and would help anyone in need.
Grace loves to daydream, which often catches her out in class, but she is always alert when she is using her powers.
Powers: Telekinesis
Bio: Grace grew up in the country for the first seven years of her life before she and her father moved to the city. Her mother left them when she was two, leaving her father to raise a young girl barely out of diapers. She first became aware of her powers when she was eight, and accidently smashed a wine glass when she was angry without touching it. She began to hone her abilities [hiding them from her father], and when she first saw a young woman being mugged at the age of ten, she had slammed a rubbish bin into the attacker so that the woman could get away. Since then, she managed to procure a police radio, and listens in, helping out wherever she can. Now that she has a car, it's a lot easier.
Grace wishes that she could make friends, but she is ever aware of hiding her abilities. She doesn't want to become a test subject, and so is seen as slightly snobby to her peers at Warrington High School. She spends most of her free time at school in the art rooms, painting.
 Name: Felix Lyle Strathford
Alias: Cryon
Age: 15
Personality: Felix (as said by his teachers) is a lovely child that performs well in his classes. This is mainly due to his lack of school friends. One of Felix's favourite pastimes is Ice Skating, failing that playing in the snow (that he created), or anything else ice related. He has a bubbly personality to those that aren't insulting him, and is known to fix a lot of plumbing problems at home without explanation.
Powers: Cryokinesis, the ability to create, destroy and manipulate water and ice.
Bio: Felix was born in a suburban village in the Canadian tundra with both his parents. He discovered his abilities whilst playing in snow when he was ten, when he noticed he could make a snow fortress without much effort. When he was twelve, his family decided a seachange was necessary and they moved to Australia. Nowadays he is just improving his own abilties and makes a formidable opponent. His eighteen year-old brother, Joel is the only soul to know of his ability.
Felix is that stereotypical little 10th grader that sits in the corner and gets teased by the others. Although he is used to it now, he still struggles to take the insults without making an example of them. His only friends are outside of school, and even they don't know of his abilities.
Name: Leon "Leo" Angus McMannon
Alias: Leo
Age: 18
Personality: Leo is arrogant and completely up himself. He is something of a pack-leader and uses his charisma to get his way. More often than not, this gets him in trouble with the teachers, but he shrugs it off with the fact that he is a straight 'A' student.
Powers: Feline shift. Leo can shift through five different phases towards full feline. First stage is his completely human self. Second is human self with heightened senses and feline pupils. Third stage is shorter and stockier with tabby fur grown out over his exposed skin and fairly long, sharp claws. Fourth stage is a full tabby cat, except for the fact that it is waist height on human. Fifth and final stage is a normal looking housecat.
Bio: Leo grew up with both parents and a minimum of two cats around at all times, on the outskirts of the city. With lots of land to play on and a brother and sister, he grew up happy and content.
At about the age of 10, he was playing with one of his favourite cats when his arms started sprouting fur. Concentrating on it, he shifted all the way to his feline form and to the various stages between that and his human form.
From that day, he always had a cat with him and he could direct them as he chose.
He hid his talent from everyone, including his family, even after they moved into the city and he started going to Warrington High. He couldn't keep the cats from following him, so he let one cat, his favourite with him, and she was accepted by all, including the teachers. Her name is Jack.
When he was 17, his house was robbed and his father killed. His mother became exceedingly depressed and Leo took over the function as head of the house with his younger brother and sister helping wherever they could. Leo now works in his mother's grocery store after school to help pay the bills.

Grace stared out the window, oblivious to what the teacher was saying. It was something about Shakespeare, she thought, and so oblivious was she that she didn't realise that they were actually talking about Huckleberry Finn. It was in this condition that the teacher found her when she asked a question.
"Grace, Grace, did you hear me?" he asked, and Grace looked up, turning crimson.
"Uh, I'm sorry sir, w-what did you say?"
The teacher sighed, and merely called on someone else. Grace sighed. She hated school.

Felix was, as usual, sitting in the front left corner of the classroom, listening intently upon the words that were exerted from his teacher's mouth. What class was he in? Obvious. Science. His favourite. The best part of this for Felix was that they were learning about climate change and its effects on the environment. He would find something to do after the school that would contradict his words and help the environment also.
As Mr Bradley began to move on and talk about cold mountainous areas, the lunch bell went. Looking discontent, Felix trotted off out of the classroom, thinking where he could safely eat his lunch today.

"Merow?" Jack said, looking up at Leon, her head tilted to the side.
"If you're asking why we're here, its so I can learn to take better care of you, remember?" Stroking her head, he received a purr in reply.
"Leon, stop talking to Jack and focus," his teacher snapped. "After all, this is about cats, so Jack would probably be appreciative if you caught some of it."
Leon nodded, not really listening. Jack however, seemed to focus on the teacher and what she was saying more intently than any of the other students. Some of the students wondered if Jack did all the work for Leon.
A loud bell rang out in the corridor, startling Leon out of his daydreaming. Jack, who was sitting on his should, dug her claws in, making Leon wince in pain.
"Sorry Jack," he said, standing up, dragging his bag along with him. "At least there's fresh chicken for lunch today."

Grace wandered through the hallway, before noticing a boy with a cat on his shoulder. She grinned, and walked over to him.
"What a beautiful cat! What's it's name?" she asked, reaching out to touch the cat tentatively. She hadn't thought that animals were allowed at school, but she thought she'd heard about this guy. No matter what they did his cat always seemed to find him. She found it quite cute.

Leon smiled as Jack started rumbling loudly. "Her name's Jack," he replied. "And it seems that you've found the right place to scratch her."
Blinking rapidly, Leon stepped out into the sunshine and started heading towards the cafeteria. "My name's Leon. Yours?"

Grace fell into step beside him, and shaded her eyes as they emerged into the bright sunshine.
"My name is Grace. Nice to meet you-" she paused as her radio crackled into her ear via a small earphone. "We have a code 3 on Centre street. We need backup. I repeat, backup for a code 3 on Centre street."
She coughed. "Crap. I just realised that i have a dentists appointment. Gotta run. Nice to meet you," she said, before taking off towards the school gate.
She unlocked her car and climbed in, reaching for the mask that sat underneath her seat. She began to drive to the site of the drunken brawl, which was luckily only a few streets away. Hopefully she could get there before anyone got seriously hurt.

Leon watched Grace go, amused at the fact that she only just remembered an appointment. Shrugging, he continued on to the caf.
As he neared the cafeteria, he heard someone talking about a brawl.
"Yeah, there's a brawl just down the road," the guy was saying. He was dripping with sweat and panting, as if he'd just ran for a couple of blocks. "Looks like a lot of guys getting involved with it. Just a massive drunken punch-up."
Making sure no one was looking in his general direction, Leon moved away from the caf and around the nearest building. Putting Jack on the ground, he started running out of the school, towards where he knew he could shift in safety before going to the brawl.

Grace parked a block away, before jumping out of the car, unrecognisable as the school girl from a minute ago. She was wearing a dark emerald blouse and old fashioned coat with black pants, and a mask covered her face. She turned the corner to see a full scale brawl happening, twenty or so big males yelling and throwing punches, with two policemen trying to hold them back.
Grace concentrated, and pinned a guy to the wall using her mind. He struggled, but it took a surprisingly little amount of willpower to hold him there, probably because of his state of inebriation. She proceeded to do this with another of the big burly men, and waved at the policemen as they recognised her and smiled with relief. Of course, it wasn't over yet.

Leon slipped into his largest cat form, making sure to alter his features enough that he was unrecognisable to anyone, before clambering up onto the roof of the house nearest to the school. Bolting across the roof, he leapt across the four foot gap to the next house and moved towards the brawl.
Leaping onto the last roof, the roof of the pub the brawl had started at, he looked down to see a guy get pinned against the wall by nothing. Scanning the crowd, he saw a young lady in a mask, looking around. Wherever she looked, the brawlers seemed to get pinned.
Moving around the roof and onto one near the young woman, he scanned the crowd and noticed someone slipping around the brawl, moving towards the woman. As he neared, Leon positioned himself on the gutter, swung down and kicked off the roof. Using his momentum, he ploughed into the man, knocking him out on the concrete.
"Watch your back Mystery," Leon growled as he jumped off the downed man and pinned another man coming towards him.
