Back Story
Caden Vinter was involved with athletics at a young age. His specialty was the high jump, in which he regularly competed out of his age. At 12 years old he was expected to be a sure thing for the olympics in just a few more years. These dreams were shattered when Caden began to have trouble breathing. He hid his problem for a long time in fear of what it would mean to his competing. By the time others noticed his problem, the doctors said it was too late. Ultrasounds and MRIs revealed what the doctors labelled an inoperable tumor which had collapsed Caden's lungs to less than half their original size. Strangely though the initial x-ray was never able to develop a clear picture.
While the doctors were unable to explain what this tumor was they knew one thing, it was still growing, and in a few years time Caden would lose all lung capacity. Adding to their confusion was the fact that Caden's blood oxygen levels were all very good. They rationalized that his lungs must have been increasing in efficiency in the body's attempt to combat this growth. No matter how efficient the lungs were, Caden was told that he would soon develop more severe problems. Several treatments were attempted, chemotherapy and radiation were both ignored by Caden's body, without even the normal side effects from such treatments. These impossible results prompted accusations that Caden was actually sabotaging the treatment somehow.
While Caden was being subjected to all of these tests and treatments his athletic career ended. The dangers of having a child compete with such a significant health problem meant that Caden was not welcome anywhere. Simultaneously the previously gangly boy was filling out rapidly. As Caden realized that the medical professionals were not helping him he tried to find solutions for himself. He reasoned that his growth spurt would keep his lungs large enough to function indefinitely. Also he decided that if his blood oxygen was good then he should be able to hold his breath longer and practice using even less oxygen. Neither of these ideas were a cure of course, but when you are told you won't live more than 2 or 3 years with a year of that in the hospital, you grab on to any idea the represents hope.
Day by day Caden practiced holding his breath in secret. He managed to stretch out his time to an astounding 5 minutes. Something that certainly should have been physically impossible for Caden. At this point he decided that he had reached a milestone and stopped bothering to time himself. All day long Caden would minimize his breathing. Had he continued to time himself he would have been further shocked when he passed the 10 minute mark without dizziness or other ill effect. The days and months passed. Caden avoided all medical attention realizing he was defying all expectations by still living.
It was 2 years later that Caden finally stopped breathing. One night Caden was practicing holding his breath and fell asleep. Normally this would result in his body restarting his breathing while Caden slept, but tonight his lungs failed to restart on their own. In the morning Caden's mother found him still unbreathing and began to panic. She felt his pulse and was screaming for help when Caden abruptly woke up, sat up, and with a small breath asked his mother what was wrong. When his mother regained consciousness she was in complete confusion. She had seen him not breathing but here he was apparently healthy and fine. She told herself she must have been mistaken and tried to forget what had happened. Caden however could not forget. His breath refused to start autonomically. Only when he spoke did he breathe. Caden was terrified of what this meant, but at the same time terrified more of what the doctors might think. He knew rationally that he shouldn't be living without breathing, and yet he did live. This mystery was however only the first that would soon plague Caden's life.
While still disturbed about his lack of breathing, Caden also found it to be tremendously liberating. Without having to worry about breathing he could once again take up athletics. His much bulkier frame and lack of training left him with a lot of catching up to do. The high school coaches would not allow him to train there because of his known problem, and his parents were obviously unwilling to see him do what they assumed were incredibly dangerous activities. Caden realized he would have to start his training in secret. Surely once he was in shape again he could prove it was safe for him without having to deal with doctors. For 3 months Caden practiced in a nearby forest until he felt he had regained some of his potential. His legs regained their strength and leanness. He decided that he needed to have a number he could tell the coaches that would ensure him being allowed to try out. He smuggled the equipment he needed for a proper high jump to a clearing in the forest and began to practice his high jump form. Caden found that he could jump over the bar no matter what height he set it to, but it was always a close jump.
This ability to always hit the exact height needed confused Caden. He wanted to know what his capacity was before he got back into competitions. Theorising that it was simply due to his visualizing of the height of the bar he decided he needed to visualize a heigher target to discover his best. Caden selected a nearby tree as his focus and prepared to jump. He went through a flawless approach and launched himself with tremendous effort. Caden visualized his high goal and was astounded when he passed far above his bar and mat. Soon his arc carried him over the top of the tree he had selected. Only then did he worry about his landing.
The rotation of his body was extended due to the extraordinary length of his jump, and at the top of his jump Caden's feet were already close to pointing downwards again. When he hit bottom his spin would leave his head as the first point to impact. In a desperate attempt to reduce injury Caden attempted to tuck his body together. The few seconds of falling were just enough time for Caden's tucking to increase his rate of spin. With a large thump Caden crashed to his knees. A moment later he stood up, uninjured and amazed. He chuckled to himself as he realized it would be grossly unfair of him to compete with others.
The thrill of his jump was still running through his body and he decided to try again, but to aim higher. Caden decided on a standing high jump straight up to avoid the landing problems he had almost had. He bent his legs, looked up at the sky and jumped so hard his legs hurt. The ground cracked under the force exerted through his feet and he was launched up above the trees. Time seemed to slow down while Caden stared at the sky. The colour slowly changed from blue to black. As this happened Caden dropped his gaze. His view went past the curvature of the Earth and down until he could see the clouds and landmasses beneath him. He could not believe what he was seeing. Surely he thought he had gone mad. Then as gravity pulled him back downward he began to panic. How could he survive such an incredible fall? Slowly the ground came closer and closer. Caden realized he was not quite above where he had lept upwards from. Sighting a familiar landmark he oriented his mind and focused on the trees he had come from. His body slid across the sky until the trees were directly beneath him. As they loomed ever closer he aimed himself for a tree in the hopes that it would break his fall. He missed. He body crashed into the nearby high jump mat and tore through it. A few seconds later he pulled himself out of the wrecked high jump equipment. He was unhurt.
Caden decided that this was obviously just a dream. He looked at his tattered and torn clothes and destroyed shoes. Even if this was a dream, he decided that decent clothes were in order and headed home.
The back door was unlocked and Caden stepped quietly inside, only to find his parents sitting at the kitchen table looking at him. They demanded to know where he had been and why his clothing was in shambles. For a long minute Caden was silent while his mind attempted to resolve the shock of this situation. Finally his mouth started moving of its own accord telling them all he had been through. Words spilled out from the frustrations he had felt over the last years. He described with agony his initial terror when he stopped breathing. Caden told his parents of the joy he felt that he was still alive and his determination to regain his life. He finally caught up to the present and told them what he had been doing that night. As he described his jumping it became so real to him that he could not deny it anymore. All this time his parents stared silently, their faces mirroring the shock his held minutes before. Abruptly he ran out of words. His parents stayed quiet for a long time and Caden began to fear they thought him insane. His mother slowly turned her face to look at his father. Her face filled with tears and then without a word she got up and walked out of the room. Caden's father stood as well, and moved toward Caden. The words his father said were a totally unexpected shock. “I'm sorry Caden”.
His father began to tell him a story. Twenty-five years ago his parents had been introduced at what had seemed to be a support group. Each of them had a small unknown tumor that caused some medical difficulties and also seemed to cause a few side effects. His father had survived a failed parachute during a skydiving accident. He had fallen 3000 feet without any injury. His mother had experienced a different effect. The town she had grown up in had a severe water contamination. Her entire family had gotten sick, except for her. Her health was perfect. In fact through out her life she had never had a virus or infection. A government sponsored organization had brought together a few dozen people with similar impossible stories. In time it became clear that the solitary goal of this group was to research the odd abilities these people had. Surprisingly of the 16 men and 13 women, 11 men fell in love with 11 women almost immediately. It was as if something inside them recognized each other. When the first couple had their first child the government had stepped in with frequent and intrusive examinations of the child. Six months later the baby girl died. The cause of death was a tumor in her head. The government had the body completely dissected to the shock of her parents. It was at this point Caden's parents decided to flee. They spent a year on the run before finally settling down to start a new life.
A year later they had a small home and Caden's mother was pregnant. They brought a baby girl name Denise into the world and loved her with all their hearts. Parenting agreed with them and in a couple more years later Caden was born too. On Denise's 4th birthday she collapsed and stopped breathing. In the ambulance she began to breath again. They kept her in the hospital for a few weeks doing tests and determined she had a growth in her chest. She held on for another 7 months stopping breathing twice more, until she stopped breathing for a fourth and final time.
At that point when things seemed worse that their life had found a new depth to descend to. Their daughter's body was transferred to a private facility without their consent. There she was dissected and autopsied. All this time they thought they had gotten away, but really they had been allowed to go. Caden's father looked at Caden with a grim face. “These people are still watching us. They are watching you and will eventually come for you. We have raised you here pretending you were safe, but knowing all the time that you never were. I'm sorry Caden, I should have protected you.”
Caden embraced his father. “You did all you could. Whereever you could have gone I'm sure they would have followed you. I am alive and that gives me joy. You've raised me with love. Whatever happens you have given me a happen life. Now lets go find Mom, I'm sure she needs a hug too.” The two found Caden's mother and had a long hug followed by a longer talk. It was decided that they would try and keep Caden's abilities secret long enough for him to finish school. For the next year and a half Caden practiced in secret, telling no one. Even his parents only knew that he was practicing jumping. By his fifth jump Caden no longer destroyed his clothes or shoes. After this he developed a uniform that consisted of a black track suit and boots. Over his face he wore a black balaclava. Now that he had some control Caden attempted to test his powers. On his sixth jump he left the atmosphere.
Once out of the air he found he could direct movement mentally. In seconds he hurtled past the moon. He looked out at the universe around him and found that he could easily focus on a specific object. First he cruised at an impossible speed to jupiter and then to venus. Finally he focused back on the earth. In a moment he was there. Caden suddenly realized that once again he had defied physics. Bad enough that could even leap into space and then fly about, but he must have exceeded the speed of light. He would have giggled had there been air to breath. This reminded him he should get back on planet. Caden focused on north america and swooped toward it. Now that he could feel gravity his speed seemed to have slowed down significantly, but he was still directing his movement and not merely falling. While flying seemed to be easy, landing was still tricky. Caden was able to stop just in time before crashing into the ground.
The time passed rapidly toward graduation day. Caden focused hard on his studies of physics. He had a great desire to know what rules he was breaking in the textbook. For instance why didn't he create a sonic boom, and how did he jump so far when his legs were certainly not capable of putting out such a force. Furthermore how could he direct his movement when he had no means of propulsion. While these question were not easy to answer Caden did invest in a good stop watch and began to measure his speed. In what Caden felt was the gravitational field of a planet he exceeded a velocity of 16,000 kph. Once out of the gravitational field Caden eventually was able to travel anywhere in the solar system in under a single second. On a particularly brave day he travelled to what he had identified as alpha centauri. It took him less than a minute to reach the star. Caden turned around and found he could easily remember which star was his. In another minute he was back floating above earth.
From that point on Caden began to study astronomy intensely, memorizing locations of stars that he could reach in a single night. He travelled far each night and began to bring home small souvenirs. Rocks from other planets. First from the solar system and then from the few nearby stars that held solid planets. Each of these souvenirs went into a display case that Caden kept labelled to catalogue his journeys. By the his graduation day Caden had gone to every location he could in a single night without being out all night.
Caden had sent off some applications to various universities but never received an acceptance letter. It did not terribly concern him though because he had places to go. Three days after he officially graduated he realized why he hadn't received any letters. A man and a woman in black suits had come to Caden's house. His parents stalled them at the door saying that Caden had gone out for the day. Caden knew they had come for him and that he was in potential danger. He ran out the back door, only to crash into another suit.

His parents stalled them at the door saying that Caden had gone out for the day. Caden knew they had come for him and that he was in potential danger. He ran out the back door, only to crash into another suit.

Nice character, Sledge. I remember the concept from all the ideas that were bouncing around in our conversation a while back.

Stephanie Holt aka the Wyvern PL 10 (150pp)
Base Abilities (51pp): Str 20, Dex 30, Con 20 (Impervious), Int 16, Wis 10, Cha 10
Base Saves (13pp): Tough +5 con, Fort +5 base +5 con, Ref +0 base +10 dex, Will +9 base

Feats (7pp): Dodge Focus 5, Uncanny Dodge (sound), Improvised Tools
Powers (76):
Alternate Form 13 (Wyvern) (65pp) (67pp Alternate Power2)
Drawbacks (-1pp): Noticeable 1
Backstory:
Stephanie grew up in a bilingual community near Montreal. At an early age she showed incredible physical prowess. As she grew up she developed a skin condition, and despite some attempts at treatment she regularly developed localized but very heavy scaling. None of these ever turned into anything more significant or even an infection so she eventually learned to live with it. By the age of 15 she had recurring scaling on specific portions of her body, specifically on the outside of her elbows and shoulders, several patches in two lines near her spine, and on her knees. Because of this condition Stephanie became obsessed with her body. She exercised incredibly vigorously and maintained an intense cosmetic regime to hide her condition. Through this she had few friends and little social interaction. In high school she dated a little but her self-consciousness multiplied by her now physically intimidating appearance of 6 feet 2 inches and incredible muscle development led to little success at romance. She was however fiercely loyal to her few real friends.
When her friend Elizabeth became pregnant at 15, Stephanie was there to protect her from persecution. Understandably few were interested in tangling with Stephanie and so Elizabeth was generally left in peace. The father also had it explained to him that he would be helping to support the child whether or not he was active as a parent. When the little girl was born she was named Anie in honour of her god mother. Stephanie enjoyed her role in the childs life and in many ways was more of a mother than Elizabeth.
Stephanie graduate high school with an honourable mention and she pursued a career in law enforcement. While she excelled in the investigative portions of the program she found herself uninterested in the legal aspects of the course. She was still undergoing training when while driving Anie home from day care she was involved in a serious car accident. Her car was struck at high speed and was somehow rolled over and then pinned under another vehicle. Stephanie found that she was uninjured, and looked over her shoulder at Anie who she could hear screaming. The back seat of the car was even more crushed. Anie had only been saved by her car seat's head rest. As it was she was bleeding from where a piece of metal intersected her left arm. At this point Stephanie smelled the gasoline.
Stephanie jerked her seat belt off and attempted to reach into the back to free her god daughter. The crushed vehicle however had far too little space to allow Stephanie access. In desperation she braced her back against what had been her seat and pushed. Muscles flexed that Stephanie didn't know she had. Metal groaned, buckled and tore. At the same time Stephanie felt something in her back tear as well. Now that she had plenty of room Stephanie freed her still screaming god daughter from the car seat and wrapped something quickly around the bleeding arm. Next Stephanie kicked out the car door and left the vehicle carrying Anie in her arms. She walked away from the crash just as sirens became audible. The two of them sat down on the curb and waited for the ambulance.
As Anie became more coherent she kept looking strangely at Stephanie. Finally she said, “Where did the monster go? Why are your clothes all broken Stephie?” In confusion Stephanie started to say “What monster...” as she looked down. Her voice trailed off as she realized that her clothes were little more than shreds. She realized that the makeshift bandage she had used on Anie was actually a piece of her sleeve. She made a halfhearted effort to at least protect her modesty and then sat in shock. An ambulance brought her and Anie to the hospital where a hysterical Elizabeth was already waiting. A nurse escorted Stephanie to an examination room despite protests that she was fine. Only after the door was closed for privacy did she see the man in a suit waiting for her.

should I be posting the stories in full with the characters, or should they be somewhere else?by The Stray » Mon Dec 11, 2006 11:32 pm

In a forum, Paragraphs separated by a line are easier to read, IMO, rather than trying to indent them.
If you feel you must indent, put ten spaces in front of the start of the paragraph.
M&M is not the system for reproducing real science. It's the system for tying real science to a chair and taunting it while you fly around blasting people with the heat of your x-ray vision.

Yes, much easier.
I like your storytelling, and realistic write-ups. Reminds me of some of my more favoured comics, like early New Universe, New Mutants, and some Xmen. (Still need to see what Ellis will do with the revamp.)
But again addressing readability, you might want to look at the character creation threads by MDSnowman and Taleisin, and copy their character stat layout.

-----Begin Briefing, Subject: Unlimited-----
The person known only as Unlimited has been very difficult to trace. Our earliest research potentially shows Unlimited as having been present at least as long ago as late 1943. As you are aware, this puts Unlimited in the 10 oldest “super” individuals. However due to the nature of Unlimited's power we are unlikely to ever find out any exact information without capturing Unlimited. Twice now we have had Unlimited in our custody briefly. In our next attempt we must be more careful to prevent any suicide attempts.
The aforementioned first record of Unlimited is as a british soldier in the second World War. The name he was using at the time was Brett Michaels. His service record is in the database, but the notably data is that Brett seemed fearless and was constantly volunteering for dangerous missions. No family or former address is listed. Brett's service lasted only 6 months at the end of which he died in a machine gun crossfire. Accounts indicate that Brett must have been struck with dozens of rounds but as is the case in all Unlimited accounts, the body disappeared. The record is very explicit that the body of Unlimited had melted completely away.
This description allows us to assign Brett as an Unlimited alias with an 80% certainty. It is very likely that due to Unlimited's fearless behaviour that this was not the initial incarnation. Analysis of further data is sketchy but provides several hundred possible candidates to have been Unlimited before the Brett incarnation. None of them however have had an explicitly recorded body disappearance.
The next time evidence Unlimited shows up is 20 years later in the person of Robert Tyler. This incarnation has a military record from the WWII as well but as a Canadian instead. Back tracking shows that Robert Tyler appeared approximately 8 months after Brett died. This gap in time has been analyzed and 43 possible names have been found for possible Unlimited incarnations. None of these names can be corroborated however.
Robert's life is very hard to follow. We know that he moved often and rarely worked a job for more than a year. This identity is confirmed as Unlimited through his death as is generally the case. In 1963 Robert was involved in a serious industrial accident in which his legs were severely mutilated. He was rushed to the hospital but accounts hold that he was continually requesting that someone kill him. Upon arrival doctors told him he would likely live but that they would need to amputate his legs. Somehow he managed to get a hold of a police officer's pistol and shot himself. The rapid disintegration of the body in front of so many people resulted in a temporary quarantine.
After Roberts death there is another long gap in our evidence. Finally in 1989 we are able to track successive incarnations on Unlimited. These began with a woman name Julia Miles in August of that year, dying in the act of saving someone from a fire. Her body was terribly burned and it disintegrated soon after. Julia's last recorded words were, “Dammit I like this body”. Julia was the first incarnation that held a complete historical record. Her birth certificate indicates she was born 6 years before Robert's death however our research indicates that these have all been falsified. Also in her records are those for her having been married briefly in 1972 at the age of 15. The couple split up while Julia was pregnant and there is no evidence of there being further contact. The former husband, Darryl West, has been contacted and is real. He confirms the marriage but indicates she told him she was 18 and she appeared to be that age as well. He claims the break up was because Julia was unwilling to let him know about her past. He has never remarried and has never met his child. Subsequently it became clear that the child was in fact just another incarnation of Unlimited.
Julia is also unique in that she appears to be the only incarnation where Unlimited took advantage of life insurance. The sole benificiary of the 5 million dollar policy was her “son”, Gary Miles. The large settlement provided us with a much easier method to track unlimited and over the next 12 years we have detailed accounts for Gary Miles' activities as well as for 3 subsequent incarnations.
In 2001 we captured the incarnation Rosemary Wilson after 6 months of surveillance. Rosemary was in our custody for 36 hours before she succesfully committed suicide. Her method was rather unique in that she hung herself and slit her wrists simultaneously. We were unable to revive and decided to wait for her reappearance. That reappearance came only 30 minutes later when we tracked someone accessing the estate accounts. We managed to capture this new incarnation, identifying itself again as Gary Miles, within 48 hours but by that point the liquid assets of the estate had disappeared and the other assets had been transferred to a trust. This trust is still being monitored in the event that someone comes forward as one of Gary's children.
When Gary was captured he bit down hard on something and a few seconds later he was dead. It is still unknown where he managed to get this capsule in such a short time and we must assume that if we capture Unlimited in the future another such capsule will be posessed and we must be prepared to counter it and anything else Unlimited has available to commit suicide.
Most disturbing is that over the last 5 years we have found no sign of Unlimited. It is apparent that Unlimited is actively avoiding our pursuit and that any slip up will result in another quick disappearance. I am recommending at this time that we continue our passive attempts to find Unlimited. Eventually Unlimited will be the one to slip up and we will be able to recapture the trail.

Change of approach this time as I post the backstory first. Also this is the first write up from perspective of the suits.
Stats Added, but much tweaking needed. Unlimited is my first build over PL10. Some stuff still needs to be added like basic equipment.
