Transport: Flight via rocket boots, rollerblade-style boots so he can move with the mobility of rollerblading during skirmishes, and long-range teleportation.
Other: Commands the League of Tactical Heroes via special comm unit device.

Device List:

• Strategist's suit: while still flexible, Strategist's suit is nearly indestructible, and amplifies his strength and agility ten-to-one. It's electrically insulated and conceals a scale-like internal armor that can block bullets and laser projectile weapons.
  
• Utility Belt: Created using cutting-edge antimatter technology, Strategist's belt utilizes an extra-dimensional storage system, which allows him to store ridiculously large objects in the belt and pull them out at any time, without them actually having to be in the belt itself. A verbal order from Strategist can lock down the belt, cause it to release a powerful electrical charge, or self-destruct.
  
• Cloaking Engine: Opening the panel on the front of the belt and rotating the wheel inside, the holographic projection of the suit is activated, the suit displaying an image of what is behind Strategist, rendering him virtually invisible.
  
• LoTH Comm Unit: A multi-purpose cell phone that allows Strategist to communicate with the members of his group. See "Devices" thread in main forum for details.
  
• Jet-Blades: Uses the sort of Military Propulsion Engineering used in Harrier Jets to update an otherwise normal set of Roller-blades, making them flight-capable for patrol. They have 3 modes: "Shoe-Mode", so that he can walk while investigating a crime scene, etc; "Roller-Blade-Mode", so that he can move with the mobility of Roller-Blading while in a skirmish; and "Jet-Blade-Mode", for when he needs/wants to fly.
  
• Police Broadband Scanner: A radio receiver, it is designed to pick up radiowaves on the Police Communication Broadband in all areas of the country at once. It has an alarm programmed to go off when it detected the phrase "Meta-Human" or "Conqueror" in intercepted transmissions to warn the LoTH when a Police Department somewhere is up against one of Positron's cronies. Also it is connected to all LoTH Comm units, so any member can check for mission updates at any time.
  
• Strategist's Visor - Cyber-eye goggles connected to the LoTH mainframe; through his visor, Strategist's Meta-Human brainwaves can interface with his backpack, and through Back-Pack other machines, allowing Strategist to use his Technopathy/Cyberpathy in a longer range. It is able to display information from Back-Pack at an alarming speed, which can only be decoded and speed-read by Strategist. Its opacity is automatically and instantaneously adjusts itself when there is a change in brightness to prevent Strategist from being blinded by light-based attacks.
  
• Back-Pack - a sophisticated high tech scouting and surveillance, utility unit, portable computer all in one active robot, capable of fitting and being carried on Tim's back. Back-Pack can be cyberpathically, voice, and remote controlled by Strategist, and is armed with an array of short-range sharp implements and missiles with several different payloads. It serves as Strategist's information hub and main communication device. Reinforced, the unit is waterproof, electrically insulated, cloaked, composed of a chrome polymerized titanium shell, and has a remotely activated detonation sequence which is also triggered when its power cell is damaged. The explosion does monstrous damage to anyone within the general vicinity of it.
  
• ZapCap: The ZapCap was one of Tim's first inventions. It appears at first to be a metal ball. But when thrown with enough force, the circuits inside are activated, and extend metallic tentacles that are magnetically manipulated to wrap around a target and bind them tightly. If a prisoner of this device attempts to cut through the bonds, the wire wound up inside will release a powerful electric shock through the cutting device as well as through the entire ZapCap, electrocuting both the person cutting the device, and the wearer. It can only be unlocked with a special magnetic key in Strategist's possession.
  
• Lightning Blade: A long sword, laser sharpened down to the molecule capable of cutting through metal, as well as firing a powerful electric charge.
  
• Qwik-Dri: a fast setting rock-hard substance that hardens in seconds. When it hardens, is stronger than concrete, trapping the target inside.
  
• Sonic Disk: A small disk that can be thrown or held, and releases a directable beam of supersonic sound waves designed to disable an opponent.
  
• Freeze Canon: Contrary to its name, it is a small hand-held gun that fires a beam of ice. It can be used to freeze opponents, or freeze the ground underneath them, causing them to slip.
  
• Sonic Deflector: tuned to the sonic properties of a gunshot, upon "hearing" this sound, it emits a powerful sound shockwave that is capable of deflecting small arms fire, preserving Strategist's armor for heavier ballistic attacks.

CHARACTER INTERACTION
Hero or Villain: Hero
Group Affiliation: League of Tactical Heroes Leader
Weight: 165 lbs.
Height: 5' 11"
Personality: Highly determined, very meticulous, and not a people person. Not so good in social situations, Strat tends to be more comfortable barking orders at all his heroes, and takes it very personally if a hero under his charge is hurt or killed. While several close to him have unsuccessfully tried to get him to relax, Strat often seems like he's close to the stress breaking point, sometimes lashing out at people for even the most minor of transgressions. His alter ego is known only by a few close heroes, usually discovered by accident.
History: Having an exceptionally high proficiency in technology even at a young age, Tim grew to become more competent in greater areas of technological development, causing him to want to use these abilities for heroics. At first a glory seeker calling himself The Tactician, when he saw a close friend and mentor, a hero who called himself The Strategist, die in the heat of battle, Tim grew exceptionally serious, his attitude taking a 180 degree turn. No longer a jokester with an endless supply of one-liners, The Tactician took a darker shade of costume, changed his handle to The Strategist in an effort to throw away all that he'd once been and to honor his fallen friend, and took to the streets, taking on murderers and thieves ruthlessly, often times without thinking of the long-term results of his actions. Over the years he has mellowed somewhat, but still remains vigilant in his fight.
The original Strategist was killed by a villain by the name of Positron, a powerful mastermind with the same powers and skillsets as Tim's. When he killed the original Strategist, he learned his identity, then easily deduced the Tactician's. However, he's kept this knowledge to himself, using it as leverage against Tim, and becoming the new Strategist's greatest enemy.
The part you took in the great war: He served as a leader of one team of heroes during the great war. His team single-handedly managed to drive Positron's forces out of Oklahoma City. When the war ended, his team, which he'd inherited from his mentor, had become famous due to its incredible work in protecting the survivors, that it became the ultimate superpower team, acknowledged by the government for its efficiency. Strategist became one of the most well known heroes in the world.

Appearance: The Unknown wears a black vest with white sleeves. His tights have no pockets and are also the color black. His boots have many laces and are the color black. He wears a sort of mask that covers his entire head.
Personality: Unknown's heritage is of the Spanish. He has somewhat of a hot-tempered mood when certain "strings" are strummed. Unknown jumps to conclusions very fast if not given the right information. Unknown has a connection to father-son relationship since he lost his father. When he is not in his Hero suit he likes to visit familiar locations to reminisce. Unknown usually feels to helping others out unless needed. He likes to do things alone to prove to many people that he is a hero and doesn't need anyones help.
History When Jimmy was little his father was always away on government business. Always protecting someone. Jimmy had friends and did as well as some kids should in school but he always felt alone. One day his father was assigned to protecting scientist who's job it was to fix global warming. Since the location was nearby and Jimmy's father's job was nothing but success he took Jimmy along. In the facility there were many scientist and tubes filled with somewhat greenish-yellow gas cloud. Jimmy overheard scientist that might have found a way to reverse the gases in the air's polarity and change it to become a fodder for the Earth's soil. Jimmy was lead to a certain area to where he could play. Meanwhile outside the facility was several terrorist that heard about America's plans and wanted to stop it. They had shot rocket launchers at the facility. They had hit directly at the facility's tube and released it throughout the compound. There were explosions. Jimmy's father picked him up and tried to leave but exits were blocked thanks to the terrorists. Everyone inhaled the cloud that was covering the normal air. Some scientist died instantly but others were lucky enough to survive. Jimmy and his father also inhaled the cloud. When help finally arrived many of the scientist were dead. The only survivors were 5 scientist, Jimmy, and his father. Jimmy's 18th birthday came. He finally got to see his father. But news was brought instead of his father. Jimmy's father had died due to lung caner. Jimmy ran away in a ferocious rampage. All around him was cars crushing under heavy gravity and other items flying away. When Jimmy finally calmed down he wanted to be alone and thought of a place. He teleported there.
The part you took in the great war: Unknown was alone when the war started. It was one year after his father died. Many villains came to his city and began rioting. Jimmy and few others managed to defeat and capture them. Few know about Unknown and his efforts.

CHARACTER IDENTITY
Username: Mint Mia
Public Name: Nova
Real Name: Sara Neilson
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Weight: 138 lbs
Height: 5’ 9”

CHARACTER POWERS
Strengths: Flight, energy blasts through hands and narrow beams through eyes, enhanced strength and toughness, entropy vision
Weaknesses: Nova cannot see like normal humans, and her entropy vision has certain disadvantages to normal sight. She cannot see anything much smaller than a marble unless it is moving extremely fast or is made of a highly volatile substance. Entropy vision can’t detect color, and large amounts of entropy like heat can obscure her vision. Extreme temperatures of both kinds will tamper with her powers; cold will sharply decrease her energy output and heat will increase it but cause her to run out of energy much faster. Her pool of energy is limited, depending on the calorie count of the food she consumes.
Origin Archetype: Metahuman

Power Modifiers:
Attack: Enhanced strength reaches a maximum lift capacity of 600 pounds, enough to seriously injure a normal adult in hand-to-hand combat. Can fire energy blasts through her hands, or if her arms are hampered, fires weaker energy beams through her eyes. Each blast consumes energy. She also possesses a last-ditch effort emergency attack, also known as Supernova, whereby she creates a miniature nuclear explosion centered on her body. This consumes large amounts of energy and typically will leave her unconscious for several minutes.
Defense: Nova’s “invulnerability” works by generating a skintight forcefield. Each time it deflects an attack, it consumes energy proportional to the strength of the attack. She must consciously switch her invulnerability on and off, and while it’s on her other powers are weakened.
Transport: Flight. Other powers are weakened while flying, to a degree dependent on her flight speed. Maximum flight speed is about 50 miles per hour.
Other: Nova’s metabolism is like a rudimentary nuclear fusion reactor. This causes her body temperature to be quite a bit higher than normal humans, at about roughly 55 degrees Celsius when not actively using her powers. The reactions in her body constantly produce radiation, which is actually slowly destroying her from the inside. As of today, she has about five or six years left to live. Her eyes constantly glow, more or less brightly depending on how active her powers are at the time. As a civilian, she wears opaque sunglasses to cover this fact.
Device List: Nova’s costume is not ordinary fabric. The material is lightweight, yet is immune to damage from her energy powers, which means that it remains intact when she goes Supernova. It also blocks the low-level radiation that she gives off at all times, protecting those around her from getting cancer by spending too much time near her.

Hero or Villain: Hero
Group Affiliation: League of Tactical Heroes
Personality: Sara went through a feminist phase during high school and the first year or so of college, which she has since grown out of. However, she still prefers to behave professionally, taking things seriously whenever she can help it. Her sense of humor is sarcastic and deadpan. Her greatest strength—and weakness—is her tenacity. As a former news reporter, that aspect of her personality got her stories and interviews which were denied to others, simply due to her insistence. As a heroine, her stubbornness in taking down villains is reinforced by the fact that she knows she’s going to die soon anyway. She does not open up well to others, not wanting to cause anyone grief when she eventually passes away. Despite this, on the inside she is very compassionate and has an idealistic desire to protect everyone for as long as she can.
History: Sara Neilson was a prominent news reporter, known for her to-the-point questions and professional attitude. Her career came to a screeching halt the day she was doing a story on unsafe working conditions of a local nuclear power plant. The plant suffered a meltdown, killing most people inside and grievously wounding the others. At the hospital, it was revealed that the radiation had changed Sara on a molecular level, and the new mutations were predicted to be fatal. The doctors were correct, but had not predicted the new powers that Sara would gain in the process. Since that day she has donned the identity "Nova", trying to make the world a safer place while she still can.
The part you took in the great war: Nova joined in the fight somewhat late, and was frequently moved from team to team as needed. Due to the flexibility of her powers, she could act as a frontline fighter, rear support, or at a pinch, reconnaissance. The whole time she did not talk much or form very close bonds with anyone due to her short lifespan, which again made her a good candidate for relocation.

CHARACTER IDENTITY
Username: Hystoriwr
Public Name: Edger Smirnov
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Weight: 150
Height: 5'11"

CHARACTER POWERS
Strengths: Edger's abilities lie solely in his creative and inventive talents. And trust me, he has plenty of that.
Weaknesses: Edger is only human. He's as mortal as any other human, so he tends to hide away in his workshop instead of fighting.
Origin Archetype: Technology: Edger's own tendency to create and build are most likely the only thing that allowed him to join the Strategist's forces.
Power Modifiers:
Attack: Usually a wrench. Really, he isn't much of a fighter. Most things he creates are designed to be used by others, not himself.
Defense: Usually...his workshop. Which happens to be in Tactician's Tower.
Transport: Edger avoids leaving his workshop, but, if push come to shove, he walks.
Other: He's on the verge of creating a patch that utilizes the thermite reaction for some purpose.
Device List: Throughout the story, Edger will be creating devices that will be edited here when they are approved. No, he will not simply pull a gadget out of nowhere when he needs one. No, he is not a modern Macgyver. He will create nearly all of his inventions systematically, during the RP.

CHARACTER INTERACTION
Hero or Villain: Hero...ish.
Group Affiliation: League of Tactical Heroes
Appearance: Edger is moderately tall, and, through years of holing himself up in his workshop, has developed unusually pale skin and almost no body fat. His hair might have been black at one point, but is stained a dirty gray with dust and soot. He is constantly covered in smudges of oil and grease, which seems to fit his dark brown eyes. He mostly wears thick, baggy jeans to protect him from small sparks, and a sleeveless black shirt riddled with burn holes. He claims he wears it for maneuverability. He has an odd posture of constantly squinting his eyes and hunching forward as a result of sitting at a table for endless hours, in a darkly lit room.
Personality: Frankly speaking, Edger is horrible with words. He avoids most social situations, and is blunt and quick to the point in his speech. Usually, the only times most people see him is when he calls them into his workshop to try something on or to experiment. He partially envies the abilities of those around him, and despises the term "psychic" in every way.
History: Edger was...a weird one in his childhood days. He was obviously capable of passing any of his peers in school, yet he despised the thought. He moved away from his parents at the normal age of 18, when they could no longer force him to deal with his distractions. At that point, he had already been working in his basement, shunning any social life around him and only leaving for supplies or food. Now, the problem expanded. He had little money, no food, no home, and only the clothes on his back. He no longer had access to his old workshop. His mind raced over ideas like wildfire, those that he could help the world with, while his body slowly deteriorated. It was at this point that Positron's little escapade had taken effect, taking over his hometown and killing anyone that refused to aid them. He learned of the opposing force, Strategist, and joined his ranks buy buying his way in with promises of weapons and technology. Not empty promises, but he might have exaggerated on the little details. He has been part of Tactician's tower ever since, where he has been granted his own workshop and access to multitudes of supplies for his inventions.
