Real Name: David Finley Grayson III
Secret Identity: Olympian
Age: 20

David Finley Grayson was born to the now infamous villain known as The Athlete. Although the Athlete had technically "retired" from the life of a hardened criminal he never stopped trying to train the next generation of Athlete just as his father had trained him. David jr had developed reflex memory just like his father and grandfather just as David senior had hoped and he used that to train David in every skill that he had gained himself. While undergoing training Jr was pushed to the absolute limit of his own capabilities all the while he heard glory stories of the various crimes and feats that David senior had committed during his time as the Athlete. Call it a quirk or ironic phenomena, Jr wanted absolutely nothing to do with the criminal activity of his father and his Grandfather before him. However he felt trapped in many ways to succumbing to the lifestyle of the family, and growing up with only his father didn't help him to break from that line of thought. When David Jr went out to attempt to commit his first crime he hesitated and instead went out to stop a crime already in progress. From that moment he swore to fully break away from his family legacy and took on the mantle of Olympian and set out to become a hero.

Background/ Motivation/ Complcations
1: Identity: Kevin Blackmore
2: Motivation: Atonement, Thrills, and doing what is right
3: Reputation: Former mind controlled thief for Sabian the Mad Ringmaster and his Dark Circus
4: Enemy: Sabian and the Dark Circus

Since he was young all Kevin Blackmore wanted was to be the best acrobat in the world. That dream lasted until he was about 14 years of age. Kevin was born to circus parents both of whom were both acrobats and trapeze artists. It was no surprise to note that this was where his acrobat dreams began. However the dream also died with them as well. His father Thomas was killed in a car accident when Kevin was 12 and his mother Violet was taken only three years later from lung cancer. Left alone as a ward of the state, whatever dreams of acrobat stardom he ever wanted slipped away due to the fact that he blamed his parents death on the fact that they didn't have any money or nice things. Although the dream was gone Kevin didn't really know what to do but continue on. He was taken in by a kind Ringmaster named Edward Moore and continued to do what he did best: His acrobatic and trapeze act.

Years passed by, the circus toured the country and the entire world for show after show. All the while Kevin traveled around between shows seeking out a new job and/or a better lifestyle. It was one such excursion to a chemical research and chemical disposal facility... or something along those lines, when the whole plant exploded and Kevin was caught in the blast. The explosive mixture seeped into his body and gave him rather unusual powers. Kevin found that he could form semi-solid bio electric energy whips that he could utilize for various utilities. Kevin tried his best to keep his abilities at least somewhat hidden. Regardless he still caught the attention of famous ringmaster Sabian head of Sabian's Wondrous Circus. Sabian approached Kevin about joining his troop and for some reason Kevin just couldn't say no. Years passed and Kevin found himself with a foggy head and a disjointed memory from time to time. The nagging feeling of curiosity caused him to seek out an explanation for his feelings and one night Kevin decided to trek around the circus. He found out Sabian had powers of his own, that he could control the minds of others and he had an interesting talent of finding people with super powers. Horrified Kevin kept his knowledge secret for as long as he could all the while tipping off the authorities to the Dark Circus's crimes and planning his escape. Within the year Kevin found a way out of the military like compound and found himself in the world a free man. Now 20 years old, Kevin tried to set himself up on his own. However he felt a nagging in the back of his mind and realized that he needed to find a way to atone for his crimes while he was under mind control. Donning a heavily modified version of his former thief outfit and struck it out as Backlash to stop crime wherever it may be.

[Cosmic Hunter]

So I purchased the Mutants and Masterminds GM Kit awhile ago. However I had only given the Random Character generator a quick glance when I had purchased it. However a few days ago I had actually looked into the resource a little deeper and I found the proverbial M&M Character concept GOLDMINE that the generator actually is. It is a fantastic tool for both new and old players and game masters. As a result I figured that I would utilize my sporadic writing abilities and do some concept creation by utilizing the randomness of the generator as inspiration. These are what I came up with in the order of which they were created and there are many. So...Enjoy!

Background:

Name: Dead Gentleman

Former Identity: William Rothschild III

William grew up on the better side of tracks as many would say. Others would tell him he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Regardless of the various insults and shunning, William would try to rise above it all and be as good a person as he could be. William was nice to everybody regardless of wealth level, or social status, and although there were times when people would attempt to use him because of it he never tried to seek revenge for such acts against him. He would always shrug it off and was more than happy to set his attention elsewhere.
William had a penchant for Archeology and for some of the rudimentary sciences, particularly chemistry. He wasn’t the best versed in any scientific subject but he could usually hold his own in an intelligent conversation that someone was having on various technological or scientific subjects. A bit of a dreamer as well, William just knew it in his heart that there was a better method to energize the world. He spent countless years of his 20’s studying books of all sorts: Scientific journals, Archeology texts, and even a few books from Mythology and Religion in an attempt to find something that might have even been hinted at. After years of search and study William found his “gold mine”. Beneath the surface of the fabled Tomb of the biblical figure Lazarus, William and his fellow explorers found a font of energy. Something that they could not quite fully describe, William was dead sure that this pool of energy was in fact the answer to all the world’s vast energy problems and he knew if he could find a way to harness the energy all the world could live just a little easier.
After Months of testing, and research with little to no breakthrough William and his team were stumped on how to proceed with finding a way to harness the powerful energy store deep within the earth however William would never quite get the chance to solve his dilemma. An accident occurred on the dig site and caused William to be thrust towards the energy, as he fell he felt the powerful force of the Lazarus pool meld with his body however the amazing force of the energy also seemed to tear him apart. Too much for one man’s body to contain. Months went by and everyone mourned the loss of William Rothschild III. However something…unexpected happened. William crawled up out of the pool, with new found strength and ferocious vitality. However the energy itself had fully taken its toll, and had turned William into an undead monstrosity. William escaped to America, hoping that the abundant amount of strange creatures and super powered beings would allow him just a little leeway in terms of his powerful, yet somewhat freakish appearance. Regardless of his looks he knew that he needed to do something and he tasked himself with helping whomever he could however he could while he searched for a way to either return him to normal or to bring him to peace.

Complications:
• Identity: Rick Jevins, cocky professional driver for top big wig John Malcolm
• Motivation- Responsibility: Rick is very cautious with his powers and knows that he needs to be careful when he chooses to bring them to bear
• Quirk – Reckless: Rick is exceptionally cocky for all the attempts at using his powers responsibly. As a result he sometimes overdoes things, or can grossly underestimate the situation.

Background:

Name: Faultline

Rick Jevins was born much like every other middle class child in the United States. The level of average never really receded as he aged and as a result Rick was never really “motivated” towards any direction in particular. Regardless of his lack of distinct direction Rick was always a “gung ho” and somewhat brash person. He was never harsh or anything like that it was rather more about his free spiritedness and his bold action. However as he aged the lack of immediate sense of direction seemed to catch up to him a little.

Rick’s powerful personality and his kindness brought him a lot farther than many thought they would. He found himself in college and he seized the opportunity to learn anything and everything that he could. Rick got what at one point was a mostly part time job as a local limo driver to make some of the more difficult ends meet. However one of his frequent customers, the very wealthy John Malcolm the CEO of Inter-Tech industries, decided that he liked the young lad so much that he offered him a permanent position as his personal driver. Rick would have hesitated if it weren’t for the fact that Mr. Malcolm was paying twice what the limo company was paying him and he also allowed Rick to work around his class schedule. Rick never thought he could have had it made quite like he currently had it, however things began to change…at least somewhat. A small chemical fire caused a small contained explosion within one of the labs across town. Unfortunately, Rick and Mr. Malcolm were caught in the blast. However strangely enough neither of the men was injured in any capacity, instead Mr. Malcolm exhibited no signs of any sort of ill-side effect while Rick on the other hand began to…Shake almost uncontrollably.

In a quick burst of energy Rick found himself being propelled through the air by nothing more than the force of the vibrations that he was releasing. As he landed in a small clearing some distance away Rick tried to figure everything out. Other then not knowing exactly what was going on per se he knew that he could produce some kind of vibrational energy from his body. Rick was sort of happy he had powers, and also sort of not happy about it at the same time. He liked the feeling of power but he knew that it was a big responsibility to put on his shoulders. He wasn’t going to let himself just let them go to waste though and decided upon the name Faultline and began using his powers to help people as best he could.

Background:

Name: Quantum

Bradley Winstrom had been born smart. There just wasn’t any particular way around it. He often found himself talking about things that his friends and parents couldn’t quite fathom let alone keep up with in a conversation. However Bradley never let this fact go to his head. Usually overly quite Bradley would usually have his head nose deep in some new scientific journal or textbook when not enjoying whatever “normal” activity that he would be dragged towards with his friends. It was no surprise to anyone he knew that Bradley would not only graduate college with high honors, but would also graduate two years early. With advanced degrees under his belt Bradley had no problem finding places to work at. However, the trick was finding a place that was willing to let him experiment and design to his heart’s content. He found just that with the CEO of Future Sight Technologies. Rebecca Sternum wasn’t the average shrewd businessman in a suit. In fact none of those words seemed to fit the CEO save for her usual suit attire. As a result Bradley felt instantly comfortable with the environment.

Years of work and Bradley knew he was onto a breakthrough. He had been working for the company for three years when he stumbled upon a possible energy source that could be a possible solution for the world’s energy crisis. He called the energy Quantum energy and he set on the monumental task of finding out how to produce it, and how to contain it. Three more years of work yielded some breakthroughs. In fact he was able to generate the energy in small burst like doses, and could contain the energy in a special “battery”. He decided to give his find a test run. And given his mechanical skills he set out to find something to design to have the energy be the power source. He created a suit of powered armor, and integrated the battery into the device. Utterly thrilled when he found that the machine worked he set out for a test drive and found that the machine worked at peak performance levels, however things took a turn for the worse when Bradley watched a building catch fire. In a hurry Bradley charged into the scene and helped get as many people as he could out of the burning building. He felt ashamed that he wasn’t able to save everyone but he now had a secondary purpose: To use his energy and power suit to help people and from that day forward Quantum was born.

Background:

Secret Identity: Randall Grayson
Age: 18

Complications/ Motivations:
• Motivation: Doing Good. At the true end of the day all Randall really wants to do is to do the right thing.
• Identity: Fortress really wants to maintain his secret identity and go along with the needs of the academy.
• Complications: Fortress is a mutant, but not only that Fortress is a mutant who comes from another dimension


Randall Grayson was born same as any other kid that grew up in what was middle Class suburbia. However, that shortly changed as his mutant powers started to manifest themselves when he was young. This is truly where the lines between Randall’s Earth and other Earths became rather skewed. In Randall’s dimension Mutations are the predominant, if not the only, source for powers of any kind. Due to an event long ago in history that was never truly defined or described to Randall when he was young, all mutants were to be taken away from their families and placed into what were known as Watching Grounds. The Watching Grounds were rather large dome like structures that seemed to stretch on for miles in places that were deemed unfit for normal habitation. These Watching Grounds proved to be nothing more than large prison units attempting to contain and put Mutants to work in various capacities. Since Randall was 10 the grounds were basically all that he knew, and however intense it could get Randall supposed that it could have been much, much worse.
Due to the Nature of Randall’s powers, being able to form a sort of force construct like armor around his body, he tended to be placed in jobs requiring slightly more difficult and more labor intensive jobs. They were insured that it would never be life threatening, but Randall knew that it could still be very harmful for anyone unable to keep their powers in check. A few years passed and something… strange happened. One night outside the small slit sized window of his “room” Randall could see a quick flash of pulsing purple light. As soon as it came into view he quickly closed his eyes. As soon as he opened them however he realized that his whole environment changed. He could see that he was no longer within the confines of the Watching Ground and he saw the familiar, yet oddly different sight of the outside world. As he walked around Randall knew that he wasn’t smack dab in the middle of the Kansas Badlands anymore. Unsure of what to do, or where to turn Randall felt utterly lost and without knowledge of just about anything that lay around him. However when he found himself accidently stumbling on the scene of a crime in progress, Randall couldn’t help but do what he had hoped was the natural instinct of anyone with mutant powers: To help those in need, and to keep others in check if necessary. Randall activated his powers and gave back the various stolen goods or whatever it had been. Watching the entire scene unfold another more experienced hero talked to Randall and told him to seek out the Aegis Academy and plead his case to the board. Although accepted into the program the board knew that Randall was going to need a tutor to show him about any subtle differences between the Earth he was from, and the Earth that he currently found himself a part of.

Notes on the Watching Grounds and Fortress' Earth:
Fortress' Earth is actually a decade or so ahead of "real Earth" (The year was roughly 2024 when Fortress was shunted into real Earth), though it wouldn't appear that way in terms of the technology or any other aspect of the world, which still looks like it was from 2012. The "subtle" differences were more social, and intensive than in real Earth. Essentially with the intensifying tensions caused by the Cold War, U.S and U.S.S.R Scientists rushed to find ways of bringing more "firepower" to bear in case it was ever necessary. Both sides toyed with the idea of creating some type of super soldier. To some degree both sides had succeeded. However these measures proved to be both ill timed, and ill fated. Instead of working like they were supposed to, these serums proved to instead of just influencing one individual, began to spread like a virus through people. However not everyone exhibited changes due to the effects of the serums, those that did however developed mutant abilities of all types. These individuals caused, mass chaos and panic among the populace of the world. People became so afraid and paranoid of one another that people began to place Mutants in "holding locations" just to relieve a little of the fear. As a result, a joint world imitative began to develop the first Watching Grounds. The Watching Grounds were developed to be part "prison", part place for easy and extensive labor. However grim the conditions could get, there was usually never anything truly to fear save for the mutants themselves. Each state has exactly one Watching Ground that is placed in a place known as "The Badlands" barren pieces of land set aside for the Watching grounds and the residents within.

Personality:
Randall is for the most part a sort of shy observant person, someone who likes to interact with people while at the same time prefers to kind of keep himself quiet unless spoken to. However Randall is quick to help whenever someone needs it, and he likes to think of himself as a person that will go to any length to help anyone who asks.

Background:

Name: Oliver Tarley
Age: 16

Complications/ Motivations:
• Motivation: Doing Good – While Oliver can be a little, rash in terms of how he likes to resolve situations, he does ultimately want to help those in need.
• Identity: Matter Shifter is Oliver Tarley
• Motivation: Responsibility: Oliver knows that without guidance his powers could one day become way too out of control. However one might have a hard time getting it out of him.
• Complication: Oliver was a lab rat, and test tube baby for Dynex Industries and as such they are either out to get him, or to use him as a powerful puppet.

Oliver Jean Tarley was born in a test tube. However this fact had been hidden from Oliver for much of his early years. Oliver’s “parents”, Patricia and Dean Tarley, were nothing more than very, very talented improvisational actors hired by a company known as Dynex industries. Dynex had at one point long ago cornered the market on advanced research into weapons grade chemical compounds and other such less shady business dealings within similar veins. However as time progressed so too did the competition and as such Dynex found itself on the losing end of one long and uphill battle. However they struck gold when a few of their scientists had discovered a specialized chemical reagent that if processed correctly by the human body could in fact allow for various different effects , the most promising being that the being could in fact manipulate their bio-molecular chemistry to such fine and extensive detail that they could in a sense take on various different properties for any situation. The possibilities were way too good to pass up and the project was instantly green-lighted. But as all science experiments of this magnitude do they came upon a moral quandary. How could they utilize human DNA to test their formulas? After all the end goal of the entire project was to have a human individual be the one to utilize these extensive powers after all. The project almost immediately halted as a result, but it took a shrewd and less than moral businessman to solve that particular quandary: Create a human test subject. As a result the Scientists took samples of various stores of DNA that they had acquired over the years and coalesced all that they could to create one, close to perfect clone.
Project Bio-Chem began once again in earnest, as young Oliver grew within the test tube the various scientists of Dynax raced against time to perfect their compound before it was too late. As Oliver grew “old” enough they integrated the serum within his DNA structure and as a result found that they had at least created a suitable test subject. Oliver was released from his tank a few years later, now a small baby less than a few months old in a technical sense, and issued him to his “parents” for them to raise and bring him back and forth between a fake home and the lab that was his technical birthplace. Oliver grew older and older and already he was showing signs of abilities. He started to fully manipulate his chemical structure when he was eight years of age and through that he was forced into the lab more and more for study. The Dynax Corporation was overly proud of the level of success that they achieved that they let their guard slip. One night while Oliver, now 10, was on one of his extended “visits” to the lab he became confronted by one of the scientists that worked within the lab. This lab assistant, Edward Valinger, had worked on the project for some years but had never been aware fully of what the company was really up to until he did a little snooping of his own and found out all about the truth behind project Bio-Chem. Edward pulled young Oliver aside and gave him all the facts, truly not thinking of how damaging the truth could be to a 10 year old boy. Oliver dismissed it all, but something in the back of his mind nagged at him and caused him to want to investigate. He did a little digging of his own and found that his parents were nothing more than hired actors, and that while his memories had been his own they had all basically been a lie.
Scared, hurt, and enraged Oliver wanted to do everything in his power to stop this from happening to anyone, or anything else. And so one day utilized his abilities just a tad too early and caused the entire complex to ignite, destroying all the hard and intensive data that had been collected in the process. Though he wanted to hurt those responsible he couldn’t bring himself too, and instead he found that he was quickly saving everyone from the destruction that he had caused. He supposed that he just didn’t have the heart to harm anyone the way that he had felt harmed. Regardless he escaped and found his way out to Sunshine City, without a home, without a family, and without any past that would have been his own. Yet he heard rumors and hearsay about a place where people, specifically young people, with powers could go to learn how to better control and use them. He thought that he had nothing else to lose. He went forth and pleaded his case the best he could and found himself living in the Great Power Ranch.
Personality:
While quite reserved and just a tad broody, Oliver isn’t one to be overly mean or snide. Though he is frequently prone to rash action given the proper set up and motivation, he does really try however to fit in as best he can. Though sometimes he can act like a jerk without intending too even if his intentions are in the right place.

Name: Darren Myers
Age: 17

Complications:
1. Motivation: Doing Good: At the end of the day Darren just wants to do the right thing. Sure he doesn't mind the idea of being respected for the idea, even if he doesn't want people to know who he is.
2. Motivation: Thrill Seeker: Darren loves the thrill of fast vehicles, and his constructs come from that part of him. Darren wants to go fast, and wants to cut loose as much as possible.
3. Secret Identity: While he loves the recognition for the whole super thing, he would rather not have to deal with the notion of his personal identity and his super career. (Note: This can easily be changed to something else if the entire family wants to be open with the fact they are supers.)
4. Relationship - Father: Darren Myers, a.k.a Thought-Tech: Darren is the son of the once famous hero Thought-Tech. While his father is an icon, Darren does everything to step out of the shadow of his fathers exploits. Unlike some of his fellow teammates, he tends not to worry too much about what his dad's reputation was/is. As a result that he can seem a bit more grounded in an overall sense than some of the others, but that doesn't mean that his way of thinking doesn't lead to some backlash. He tends to do things his way, as opposed to the way his "dad would have done it" and as a result that methodology can get him into trouble. Both from enemies, allies, and sometimes even his dad.

Biography/Info

Darren is in many ways a typical teenage boy. He likes his music, games, and more than anything else he loves the idea of going fast. Ever since he could remember Darren has been mesmorized by the sounds of fast cars, motorcycles, and planes. Darren always wanted to go that fast and once he came into his powers he tried to figure out how that was a viable option. As Darren grew older and became a little more comfortable with himself, and his abilities, he could actually create the things he always dreamed of riding and now he wants to use those gifts of speed to help others out with the rest of his family.

Personality:

Darren is a little brash, not that he is angsty or even a jerk, but rather he likes things immediate and done as quickly as possible. Darren doesn't like to think things through all the time, rather preferring to get things done quickly. Darren loves the thrills that fast objects can provide and tends to use that to his advantage while he is in a fight.

Identity: Kyle Braddock

Complications:
1. Motivation- Fame: Although Kyle would rather prefer to keep his personal life a secret, he can't argue with the recognition that he gets when he runs around as a costumed superhero. He isn't really going to put people in harms way in order to get that recognition, but he can't argue with the results from time to time.
2. Quirk- Can be recless: Kyle is still trying to get full control over his biomelecular controling abilities, but there are times where he doesn't take this need for control very seriously. As such he has been known for being a little recless from time to time.
3. Secret Relationship: Though Kyle does know his mentor, what he doesn't know is where his powers come from. He further doesn't know is that his mother has been hiding the fact that Kyle's father was an alien from outer space. Whether this particular individual is friend, foe, or even alive though remains a constant mystery to many.

Sidewinder
PL: 8
PP: 120
Identity: Johnny “J” Vervain
Complications:
1. Identity – Johnny keeps his identity as Sidewinder as secret as he possibly can. Though no one said he didn’t make it hard on himself
2. Motivation: Doing good – He’s a little strange, but he wants to do good none the less
3. Relationship: Ted Korren, and Jennifer Haley – Ted is Johnny’s best friend and Jennifer is his girlfriend.
4. Relationship- Rag Doll: Sidewinder is the superpowered sidekick of a much more expereicned non-powered superheroine known as Rag Doll. He looks up to Rag Doll a lot, feeling like it was really her that took him out of a harsh life of using his powers for ill-gain.
5. Quirk- Self confidence issues/tends to hold back: Being mentored by a non-powered person can have an effect upon an individual, and that is certainly the case with Johnny. As such he isn't sure how much he wants to rely on his skills as opposed to his powers to get him out of situations, and sometimes he holds back in their use, to his personal detriment.

Notes: I wanted to try something a little different when I was coming up with the stats for Sidewinder. Admittedly, there really isn't anything that is overly... Unique in the overall sense, not that that is necessarily a bad thing mind you, given that I like trying to find interesting features from different sources and see how they might fit together in some way regardless of their originality. I had originially thought up sidewinder to be a stretching hero, or at least partially stretching in some capacity. However, the more that I thought about it the less that I actually liked the concept. But that thought lead me more towards the contorsionist angle, and then I thought about what kind of super powers "super-contortion" would be, and well...I kinda like where that thought lead. So with that, we have Sidewinder.
