Full Name: Zella Hino
Nickname(s): n/a
Role: Hero, mentor to Marco
Alias: Embers
Age: twenty-seven
Gender: female, she/her
Abilities: Zella can produce flames from any part of her body by setting it on fire. She is immune to fire and cannot get burned by herself or any other kind of flames. She cannot manipulate existing fire, though if she were to get close enough to it, she can absorb it and get a boost in power from it to her own flames (though of course there are limits to this ability, there is only so much fire she can absorb before it gets to be too much, which could potentially be lethal to her).
Appearance:
Body— Zella is a bit more heavy-set than Annalise, having a somewhat hourglass body type and lots of muscle (think Mirko from MHA, but with normal feet) with bronze skin. She is average height, standing at 5' 4", and has average-sized hands and feet. She usually keeps her nails short but likes to paint them bright red or sometimes yellow if she's in the mood.
Face— Zella has brown, almond-shaped eyes that she likes to accentuate with eyeliner, eyeshadow, or both, depending on the day, usually in warm colors. She has full lips with a pronounced Cupid's bow and slightly arched eyebrows. Zella always looks animated, having dynamic facial expressions and mannerisms. She usually wears only a little bit of makeup, except when she is feeling fancy and goes all out with her eye makeup. She has a few scattered freckles on her nose.
Hair— Her hair is interesting, because instead of regular hair, Zella has flames. Bright red-orange fire makes up her collar-bone length hair, which is interesting to watch her style. She typically wears it in a ponytail with the front strands in braided. (now that I think about it, her hair is super similar to burnin' from mha rip)
Clothes— Her hero outfit is, of course, flame proof, or else things would get awkward quick. She wears a bodysuit that starts out light yellow at the top and goes from yellow to orange to red at the bottom, with her knee-length boots being dark red. The bodysuit is has a halter top, with a dark red cropped jacket over it. This isn't for warmth so much as protection for her arms, though Zella has a tendency to take it off during battle when she gets annoyed with it, which in turn annoys the hell out of her costume designers. Normally, she tends to wear whatever is comfortable, leaning towards a somewhat skater-like style, but she is surprisingly good at dressing up when she needs to.
Extra— She has a lip piercing, two ear piercings in each ear, and a flame tattoo on her right forearm.
Personality: Zella is extremely protective, instantly acting like an older sister towards anyone who looks they need it (I would say maternal, but while Zella is protective, she isn't exactly nurturing). She is passionate, wanting to help people in any way she can. She is also quite selfless and outspoken. She loves the spotlight, and is a fairly well-known and well-liked hero for her straightforward manner and caring nature. Zella is actually really forgetful, and has just started to go along with it when people thank her for saving them, even though she doesn't recognize them most of the time (but she will never admit this). Also constantly losing things like her keys or phone. She is loud, honest, and doesn't hold back with her feelings on a given topic. Terrible at reading the room. Firmly believes that offense is the best defense.
Strengths: Passionate, selfless, confident, powerful, protective, caring.
Weaknesses: Forgetful, blunt, overbearing, terrible at subtlety, doesn't always think before acting/speaking.
Likes: The spotlight, helping people, food, talking, working out/training, dancing (terribly), watching reality tv (guilty pleasure), sunny days.
Dislikes: Being spoken over, being ignored, the cold, timid people, cowards, people who don't have any enthusiasm, cruel people.
Backstory: Her parents never meant to have a child, but Zella's mother realized she was pregnant several months into dating Zella's father, and her mother kept it hidden as long as she could, unsure how to tell her then-boyfriend (Zella's father). Her mother was Zella's opposite, timid and indecisive. Zella's father reacted badly, leaving her mother. This sent her mother into a depression, but by that time it was too late to do anything but deal with the consequences and have her child. She was convinced she could still be a good parent, but slowly grew to despise Zella, her polar opposite in every way, taking much more after her father, and in Zella's mother's eyes, the symbol of all of her failures. Her mom began to spiral, becoming an alcoholic and hurting Zella with both language and physically. Zella's mother ended up dying when she was only ten, so she tried to find her father, though her grandparents, who'd taken her in, were against it. They clearly didn't want to be taking care of her, so Zella made it her mission to find her father, only to realize that he was involved in some shady deals tying back to criminals and gang members. She figured out that if he were to harbor her, he would try to get her involved in a life of crime as well with her budding powers, and ended up finding refuge with her aunt (her mom's sister). Eventually, Zella's aunt gained custody of her instead of her grandparents, and she was finally able to live in a home with a loving guardian. Part of the reason she became a hero is to make sure that her type of situation never happens to anyone else and be there for those who can't protect themselves. However, she is aware of the corruption and is doing her best on her end to do what she can, even though part of her is unsure whether it can ever truly be fixed.
Other:
-she's bisexual with a female lean
-she will "adopt" any heroes or sidekicks younger than her and take them under her wing whether they like it or not
-she has a motorcycle
-she has a pet shiba inu named Blaze

Full Name: Asa Morozov (they do not go by this name, and very few people know them as anything other than Hypnos)
Nickname(s): n/a
Role: Gambler
Alias: Hypnos
Age: twenty-one
Gender: demiboy, he/they
Abilities: Asa can send someone into a slumber with any brush of skin-on-skin contact. He just needs the barest touch of his skin to his target's to use this ability. He can control how strongly they fall asleep as well, being able to send them drifting into a light, fragile doze or a heavy, coma-like slumber as well. He has mastered this ability, making it possible for him to send someone into a coma and possibly even kill someone through just a touch. However, this is a more difficult feat to replicate than he lets on. It is easy for him to send someone into just a plain sleep, but it takes a lot out of him to send someone into a coma, and he still isn't sure if the one time he managed to completely kill someone was a fluke or not.
Appearance:
Body— Asa has a thin, slight build, practically fading into the shadows. They stand at 5' 8", being average height. Their skin is olive-toned, though they still manage to look pale in spite of that. They have small feet for their height, which they never mention.
Face— They have a sharp, angular face that suggests their lack of sleep, eye bags deep under their dark brown eyes. Their eyes are such a deep shade of brown they look almost black, heavy-set and intense. They have a sharp, regal nose that looks almost out of place with the tired facial expressions and lack of energy they put into their appearance. They have arched eyebrows that seem to make them always look skeptical.
Hair— Asa has black hair that is just long enough for them to make a baby ponytail if they want, dyed dark purple at the ends. It is fairly thick in texture.
Clothes— Whatever they can find. Asa is not a snappy dresser, throwing on whatever doesn't look awful together. He does not stand out in a crowd. They have no set "costume" and don't desire one. Does not give two shits about people seeing their face.
Extra— Has one ear piercing in each ear and a tongue piercing.
Personality: Asa is constantly sleep deprived, due his parasomnia (sleepwalking). Whether this is a side effect of his power or completely unrelated is still unknown. He is quite apathetic, not appearing to care about much. He is always gambling because the only way he can really feel anything is the thrill of adrenaline he gets from that or from a battle, but gambling takes less physical energy. He is on the rude side, not caring enough to make any attempt at niceness or friendliness. He hates small talk and will do anything to avoid it.
Strengths: Has honed his power and is a master of it, strategic, smart, thinks long-term in any sort of plan.
Weaknesses: Apathetic, lazy, terrible at social interaction or negotiations, rude, lacks any sort of manners.
Likes: Sleep, gambling, watching television, drawing (sometimes), fighting (also sometimes), video games.
Dislikes: Small talk, people in general, bright lights, loud noises, people interrupting them, people with too much energy, any sort of social event, being awake.
Backstory: Asa's parents both worked for the same criminal ring as Zella's father, raising his among the underworld of villain society. It was all he ever knew. He was in the thick of the war between the heroes and villains since he was a child, quickly becoming desensitized to blood, gore, and much more. He originally had dreams to get out of there and become a famous comic artist, wanting to create a famous comic series. However, he quickly began to lose hope as he got older, seeing the corruption in both the hero and villain systems. He became apathetic towards most things, losing interest in graphic novels and comics (though he sometimes still finds interest in drawing), no longer caring much about anything, including his own life. As soon as he was eighteen, he left home, wanting to be rid of the influence of his parents. He by no means agreed with them, but seeing what the heroes did, he didn't entirely disagree either. He also hates rogues, thinking of them as heroes who don't care enough about morals so they do whatever they want, and they don't care who they hurt any more than heroes. His parents were disappointed that he wouldn't join in with the mafia-like gang affairs of their criminal ring, but Asa wanted no part of it. However, he didn't care enough to leave the villain underworld of society completely. He still does shady deals of his own, as long as one pays him enough, not caring what sort of deal it is. He's lied, stolen, and killed since he was much younger, so nothing fazes him any more. He spends most of his days gambling and drinking, not giving much care or thought towards anything and having no real cause besides hating everything.
Other:
-demisexual biromantic (male lean)
-his favorite food is chocolate
-was obsessed with Greek mythology as a kid
-plays video games with random people over discord (unbeknownst to him, marco is one of said random people,, his discord username is hades)

(I finally decided on a rouge, just for the fun of it :) Though I can do a hero as well if a spot needs to be filled. I think this is Dyra for now…though I might add things if it comes to it. Also, I know it mentions it in the template, but just for reference, she's Cass' sister, even if they don't act like siblings)
Full Name: Dyra Tal Easser
Nickname(s): None. If you try calling her anything other than her name or her alias, she will make your death painful.
Role: Rouge
Alias: Dolittle or Speak
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Abilities: Dyra's main power is that she can talk to animals, and most of the time, get them to help her for some sort of reward, though she has a second power that she hasn't really worked with. Her second power is the power to breathe underwater, and she doesn't use it much mostly because she has no need to use it when in the city. She can talk to just about any animal, and she will happily tell you what they say, mostly because the animals never hide their feelings, and she thinks it hilarious to see people's reactions.
Appearance:
Body— To be blunt, Dyra looks like a stick, with the same lack of any curves. She's tall, almost 6'3", and is the size of a twig around. Willowy, lean and lanky are her main descriptions. She's also pale, imagine a shade or two lighter than paper. Her fingers are long and slim, like a musicians, and her body is littered with hundreds of tiny freckles, scratches, and scars.
Face— Diamond shaped face, with a defined jawline, the same slim nose as her sibling, and matching deep blue eyes the color of pen ink. Her eyes are framed by long lashes, and she always looks like she's either lost in thought or pulling a prank. She has soft pink, cupids bow lips and straight set, white teeth.
Hair— Thick black hair, that unlike Cass' is stick straight, though she keeps it cut at her shoulders, so it's out of her face. At the moment, she has the bottoms dyed a deep purple that fades into her usual black hair, a style she absolutely loves.
Clothes— Dyra goes for style over anything. Like a crow, she likes shiny things, specifically jewelry like rings and necklaces. She has a wild variety of style, anything from practically dressing like a hooker to baggy clothes that make her look like a teenage boy. Always tends to dress dark though.
Extra— She has a large tattoo on her back, made of animals like a snarling tiger, a hawk, wolf and more. She also has many ear piercings that are almost always decorated with as many earrings as she can manage to fit in. To top it off, like her sibling, she has scars, though the main ones are one deep set scar on her ankle, like she had been chained in place, and she has two more, each running down the outside of her upper arms. They're twin scars, each a long, thin line dug into her skin from her shoulder to her elbow.
Personality: Most of her personality I plan on getting into in the rp, but to give some general ideas, she's blunt. Not afraid to tell you exactally what she thinks, but also not afraid to lie to her face, which she'll do without hesitation if it helps her. She used to have a strict moral code, unlike Cass, but now it's faded to the point where she basically tosses a coin to decide what she cares about on certain days. Also a very protective friend if you end up in her inner circle, which currently consists of no one.
Strengths: She knows how to inflict pain, and if she gets animals on her side, she's more than a force to be reckoned with. Also knows a fair amount of medical and vetrinary skills, due to the fact that she has become well known among animals to help with injuries.
Weaknesses: She can be hurt and injured just like any human, no special powers at all, and not being able to talk will render her basically useless.
Likes: Music, money, and winning
Dislikes: Red Velvet Cake, vanilla perfume, and spiders (They are skilled liars and never tell the truth)
Backstory: None. Doesn't like to bring it up, and frankly doesn't care too. All anyone knows is that she used to be a hero and that she has a sibling, both of who were subjected to a frankly horrible childhood. She managed to turn her life around though and worked for a hero for a while. No one knows why she was kicked out.
Other: (If it's not obvious, her sibling is Cass, though they rarely talk to each other and will not acknowledge the existence of each other)

• She's Asexual, though is still open to the idea of a relationship

(i'm tying a lot of my character's backstories into each other, also if anyone wants to have history with any of my characters, lmk bc that would be interesting to plan out)

That would be awesome actually, though how would we go about doing it?

This cast of characters is literally epic.

(i'm tying a lot of my character's backstories into each other, also if anyone wants to have history with any of my characters, lmk bc that would be interesting to plan out)

That would be awesome actually, though how would we go about doing it?

we'd have to do a bit of discussion, and do something fairly simple i would think. like for example, we could say that they were friends at one point in the past like middle school or something? and then just figure out whether they would recognize each other now. or maybe they're exes? i'm just spitballing here but i hope you get what i'm trying to say. like we would have to do a little bit of planning. or maybe the criminal ring that zella's father was part of, one of the other characters or one of their relatives was also involved in. just things that would tie them together a bit to spice up the interactions. this is all totally up to you though, i thought it might be interesting!

((Also any and all of my characters are open for friendships/romantic relationships/frenemy relationships/flat-out enemy relationships— Whatever works and feels natural, honestly. ))

(oh same! i didn't want to plan any ships or friendships or whatever just yet to see what happened naturally, but if anyone wants to i'm down)

(now all of my characters officially have backstories yay)

(I love them.)

Yea, that'd work! I'm down with making someone have been friends in school if you still wanna do that, but if not we can easily go with the more indirect approach by making someone have ties to the criminal ring. I only have one more character to sign up but most of mine don't have backstories typed up rn; Zamir's was oversimplified and mostly just a filler tbh.

i gotcha! either works for me, we can just go based off of what makes sense for our characters. if they have ties to the criminal ring, they would know hypnos and maybe zella. and it could make sense if they were childhood friends with either annalise or hypnos, judging by their ages.
