As time goes by and we get more writers and characters I'll update this list. Eventually I plan to have a proper roll call with avatars and joining dates. This is kinda protogenic

I guess I'll start out.

Vireximius/Patrick Callard

Patrick Callard was a popular and successful author with a bestselling family series. At the height of his fame, his secret and sorted past caught up with him. So did his future. His powers manifested in the height of a traumatic experience and caused another man's death. His mind, under the pressure of his new high profile and demanding life, could not take this mental blow. It quickly asserted the identity of Patrick's main character, Vireximius. Shaving his beard, cutting and dyeing his hair, and doning the costume made for a proposed film of his books, Callard began the life of a modern day knight. With the honor code and air of chivalry one would expect of Knight of the Round Table, Vireximius sees himself as a protector of the people.

He is kind of a Superman/Thor mix. He has the super strength, flight, and supersenses (only telescopic vision, no heat or x-ray stuff). He's pretty much invulnerable and that extends to his costume that seems to miraculously survive the most savage of blows. A large explosion will knock him back. Something on the size of a missle will knock him down without question. Vireximius can control the clouds, causeing rain, lightning, and high winds. He considers these proof of his magical powers and claims of being the ever resurrecting hero of Callards books.

Edulcore Cicciotto was born 37 years ago with the curse of his family, of being a werewolf. Raised by his parents on a mountain hut in the Italian Appenines, to be away from as much as possible people, his life turned for good when the place was colonized by wild wolves coming from the southern mountains.

In his half human/half wolf form, that manifests when there is a full moon in the sky, he befriended the animals, learning a great deal about their life. That allowed him to graduate in Zoology at the Florence Universe, and then he got a position as a researcher and ranger for an important National Park on the Alps, at the Italian French border.

Cicciotto lives his mutating life with a mixture of excitment for the time with the wolves, and scared as hell for the chance he could end to kill humans. This has created in his human form a deeply fear for darkness.

As a werewolf, he is superstrong, leap very tall and far, steel like claws and fangs, ability to meddle with the surroundings so to move unseen, telescopic sight, superhearing and super sense of smelling.

Very intuitive in the werewolf form, is not, however, able to perform deep reasoning.

Dancer was a fairly ordinary cop, albeit a talented and dedicated one. Transferred to The Special Branch for outstanding work in the line of duty he continued in his dedication, eventually rooting out several members of the force with links to a far-right militarist group. In revenge for this, the group shot both his parents, an act that caused Dancer to lose faith in the Plice Force and quit. Recently he has re-established partial links with the force, albeit ones that may not be long-lasting.

At first glance, Dancer does not have any power, being just an ordinary human being. However he is linked to a voodoo spirit known as Dr. Jimmy, a servant of Baren Samedi, lord of Death. Dr. Jimmy cannot be permanently killed, and should he suffer a normally mortal wound, such as being beheaded orhaving his heart ripped out, he will revert back to Dancer and not be able to manifest for several days afterwards. He is also with a skull-tipped cane that can break through almost all materials built pre-20th century, with the exception of iron.

Jason Marlo Walker, who usually goes by the name Marlo, is a mysterious young man in his mid-twenties who has been on "the long walk" as he puts it for a while now. He's a wandering soul who has traveled all over the world taking all kinds of jobs wherever he can get them, mostly intervening in criminal cases such as kidnappings and extortion using his unique abilities. His accent is peculiar and impossible to pin down, as is his original place of residence. And he's not given to talking about it or his past with anyone.

Marlo's abilities, which he calls "walking," have to do with kinetic energy. While he can walk and run like a normal person whenever he wishes to, he can make a simple leap a miles-long journey in a single step with his kinetic energy. While in the midst of a "walk," which takes just split-seconds to occur, based on the distance, Marlo and anything he's carrying will simple pass through any solid objects in his way until his feet touch the ground again and he stops. When he stops, his body somehow saps all his kinetic energy instantaneously, also sucking the energy from the immediate area around him, which is mostly just a radius of three or four feet from where he touches down. Because of this ability he is sometimes given the nickname of "J-Walker" or "Jay-Walker" based on his name.

Marlo cannot bring more than what he could carry during a walk. For instance, he could carry a child, a small man or a girl with him on a walk, but not a fully-grown man.

Other than his walking ability he has the normal strength and speed of a healthy young man in his prime who is never happy unless he's smack dab in the middle of a tussle or two, or some kind of action. He likes women and will flirt with them but never takes it seriously because of a woman of his own back home that he still loves and remains faithful to. His personality is bold and given to humor, though he's very restless and doesn't like to stay in one place too long, especially if there's no action happening.

As far as his appearances goes, Marlo is about 5'11" tall and weighs around 170 lbs, is fit and somewhat muscular, though he's certainly not a bodybuilder by any stretch of the imagination. His hair is black with brown highlights, he looks mostly Caucasian though he has olive-colored skin and has a vageue hint of a non-Caucasian ethnicity in his face; he is somewhat handsome and attractive to women who like his type. He wears casual clothing and always carries a small backpack with him that contains his passport and numerous other objects.

Note: Marlo may be able to use his kinetic energy abilities to sap the kinetic energy of another person or object, such as a rock thrown at him or a truck barreling rapidly towards him, causing them to stop as instantaneously as he does at the end of a walk, but he has never tried to do such a thing before. He's really just learning how things work, and there may be other side-effects of his kinetic abilities that he is thus far unaware of.
