Hero Alliance

The Harbingers

:Name:
Peter Parrish

:Code Name:
Pestilence

:Age:
29

:Gender:
Male

:Orientation:
Aromantic Demisexual

:Organization:
Harbingers

:Rank:
Four Horsemen

:Appearance:
Peter stands at about 5’9” and has an average build. He has neat, brown hair that tends towards waviness when he lets it get too long, and blue eyes. He has a strong jawline and nearly permanent five o’clock shadow.

:Costume:
Peter’s costume consists of a dark suit and a long, black trench coat. He also wears a black plague doctor mask in order to conceal his identity.

:Personality:
Peter’s not really a bad guy, or at least not if you ask him. He thinks the current hero system is really, really corrupt and wants to fix it... by tearing it down and starting it over. And if anyone happens to get hurt along the way, well, then they’re just collateral damage and it can’t be helped.

He’s dreamed of becoming a hero since he was a little kid, and thus has a very particular idea of how a hero should be. If he comes across any hero that doesn’t fit that image, then he has no qualms about hurting them or outright killing them in order to clear the way for his new, ideal hero system.

He thinks he’s better than the other members of the Harbingers because he doesn’t see himself as a “true villain.” On some level he understands that what he’s doing is wrong, but to him, the ends justify the means. He also tends to be rather antagonistic towards others and has a very short temper.

:Powers:
Disintegration.
Peter’s powers allow him to destroy anything his hands touch by making them crumble down to bits. The disintegration will only occur when all five fingers touch the target, and is not voluntarily activated. Therefore, he must be very careful with his hands when handling objects that he does not wish to destroy.

:History:
Peter grew up idolizing heroes and with dreams of becoming one when he grew up. As he began to get older, however, he began to realize how corrupt the hero system actually was, as many people became heroes in order to become rich and famous instead of to actually help people.

Disillusioned, he thought that maybe he could fix the problem from the inside, by leading by example. His multiple attempts to join an agency and become a licensed hero were fruitless though, as none would take him on account of the belief that his power was not very heroic, and seemed more fitting for a villain than a hero.

He bided his time for some years, and then, after meeting the other Horsemen, they created the Harbingers, with the intention of dismantling the hero system. After its current corrupt system is wiped out, he intends to recreate it and lead it as a top hero, though he has not mentioned this plan to any of the other members of the Harbingers.

:Name:
Jacob Hill.

:Code Name:
Apparition.

:Age:
21 years old.

:Gender:
Male.

:Orientation:
Heterosexual | Heteroromantic.

:Organization:
Hero Alliance.

:Rank:
Support.

:Appearance:
Jacob is a stocky guy. Weighing nearly 200 pounds, he's made up of solid muscle, but isn't all that tall standing at a decent 5'9". He has a sharp, chiseled jawline and somewhat square facial features with a wide, flat nose and full lips. He has deep set dark brown, nearly black, eyes.

His skin is predominantly dark brown, but being born with vitilgo means he has several patches of skin that have lost their pigment over time and appear much paler in comparison to the rest of his body. His hair is jet black and always kept cropped short.

Jacob doesn't care all that much about fashion. His normal attire is usually a plain white tee or sleeveless shirt and navy blue athletic shorts or sweat pants.

:Costume:
None.

:Personality:
Jacob is generally on the quiet side. He is not necessarily shy, but doesn't stand out all that much in crowds and is better off interacting with only one or two people at a time or else he'll assume his voice and opinions aren't needed or wanted and automatically fall silent. Mannerly and level-headed, he's a fan of compromise over violence. Jacob is more likely to restrain a person causing trouble rather than harming them if a situation leads up to a fight, only using force if there are no other options.

Usually he's more keen on playing the part of a peacekeeper than an authority figure, but if nobody else steps up he'll take on the mantle for the sake of stability. He keeps in shape with a rigid exercise regime as he finds solace in physical training and it distracts him from his less than pleasant reality. He's fairly new to the whole superhero thing and feels uncomfortable accepting money or attention for the work he does.

:Powers:
Teleportation - Jacob can teleport himself from place to place within a matter of seconds. He is limited in that he can only teleport to an area he can see.

:History:
Jacob originally hails from Anchorage, Alaska. He was an excellent student and proved a very well-adjusted kid, hardly ever causing trouble. His family moved often as his father was involved with the military, but he never complained. Out loud at least. His parents initially encouraged him to follow in his father's footsteps, but he ended up veering more in the direction of electrical engineering. Financial issues kept him from seeking further education after graduating high school unfortunately and he ended up finding work in retail instead. He grew more and more unsatisfied with his life every passing year and joined the hero alliance by the time he was 20, hoping to make a difference in the world.

:Relationships:
TBD.

Will be updated as necessary. Open for pre-established friendships and what-not.

:Name:
Benjamin Rush.

:Code Name:
Speed Demon.

:Age:
19 years old.

:Gender:
Male.

:Orientation:
Pansexual | Demiromantic.

:Organization:
Harbingers.

:Rank:
Villain.

:Appearance:
Lanky and tall, reaching a total height of nearly 5'11", but weighting in at a measly 145 pounds. What he makes up in height he lacks in muscle mass, being both rather thin and light weight. His hair is a mussed up mop of slightly wavy dusty blond locks and his eyes are light shade of gray.

Benjamin's skin is fair with a faint dusting of freckles over the bridge of the nose. He is, thus far, unblemished by scarring. Despite his age he looks a bit younger than he actually is thanks to his round, boyish features. His thin frame may make him appear rather delicate, but don't be fooled. This guy knows how to kill you in about every way imaginable.

:Costume:
None yet. I'm so bad at this. Open to suggestions!

:Personality:
Quiet and reserved. Benjamin rarely speaks to the other villains outside of training and duties, preferring to either be alone or in the company of animals or perhaps a select few people who have managed to find their way into his inner circle. His face is almost always set in a scowl even when he isn't particularly upset about anything and people tend to assume he's permanently hostile. In reality he's actually quite even-tempered even if he isn't exactly a social butterfly. He takes his training seriously and is a very determined individual with hidden ambitions.

:Powers:
Super Speed - Benjamin can reach incredible speeds while running. The downside to this is he hasn't quite mastered accuracy just yet and has a habit of running into things as it isn't always easy to slow down or stop in time to avoid a collision. Most of his senses are slightly enhanced to keep him from suffering backlash while running. While possessing a wiry sort of strength he's not the strongest guy around and needs to rely on speed or wits in order to win a fight.

:History:
Benjamin's parents passed away so long ago he can no longer recall what they looked like. First his mother in a car accident and then only a year later his father was robbed while walking home from work. He spent most of his childhood in foster care up until his 18th birthday when he was finally allowed to strike out on his own. His past was a vicious cycle of neglect and abuse, but he's managed to come out of it surprisingly optimistic for the future.

He tried palling around with the hero alliance for a time as a support member, silently longing for the day he'd get to step up as a hero. He grew disillusioned with the greed displayed by many of his comrades as well as lack of credit where it was due, eventually departing from the group with little regrets. He was eventually lured to the Harbingers with the promise of destroying the alliance and re-building it into something better. He is not foolish enough to think this is the true goal of all of his new comrades, not always agreeing with their methods, but seems to believe this is the best place for him for the time-being.

:Relationships:
TBD.

Will be updated as necessary. Open for pre-established friendships and what-not.

:Theme Song:
Run Boy Run - Woodkid.

:Other:
Pretty much any and every Marvel movie. Captain America's films tend to top the chart for me, but Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy, Antman, the newer X-Men films and the first Ironman are definitely among my favs.

:Name:
Opal Acacia Ruiz
:Code Name:
Flamme
:Age:
23 years old
:Gender:
Female
:Orientation:
Nomasexual + Panromantic
:Organization:
Harbingers
:Rank:
Villain
:Appearance:
Opal is an even 5'4 with pale skin and waist length, messy, curly blood hair hair that makes her smokey almond amber eyes stand out. She has some light freckles crossing the bridge of her nose as well and speaks with a lilting French accent. She is a little bit heavier with a good deal of curve, giving her a sweet look. She has a heart shape face and when not out helping the Harbringers wears a light tan beanie, wide framed glasses, light grey sweaters and blue jeans with dark grey canvas shoes. The tips of her fingers more often then not have ink on them from her job as a comic and tv show storyboard artist. Her hair is kept in a messy braid and hangs over her one of her shoulders. She hates the way she looks though.
:Costume:
She wears fire resistant clothing, a black shirt and vest without sleeves and a pair of dark grey and black pants with fire red sneakers. She keeps her curly blood red hair in a long ponytail down her back too keep it out of the way. A black mask gas mask hides her face
:Personality:
Opal is an isolated person, hiding away with the fear of hurting others. She longs too be a hero but knows that from her power can come no good, she'd hurt too many people. She rarely feels like she belongs anywhere and wants too find a place of her own. She suffers from anxiety and will lash out in anger when provoked. She adores children and will often wave or donate too the local children's hospitals, but men tend too frighten her more as her father was not a kind man. She has a good heart and believes all powers should be loved, but the current system makes it so showing your powers is a crime and it angers her. It's her biggest reason for staying on the Villain side even if she hates hurting others. She has a big heart, and will often avoid hurting civilians if she can help it, and often moving them out of the fighting the best she can. Opal is working on her temper and how easily provoked she is...
:Powers:
Hellfire
Opal has the gift, or curse, of Hellfire as a superpower. It is not easily controlled and is extremely destructive when used, burning all caught in its path and ice, not water, is the only thing too contain and stop it. It burns extremely hot, and she has little control about calling it, it appears along her arms up too her shoulders and burns a solid white with a blue center. When her temper flares is when it's activated and can catch nearby objects on fire making keeping her temper in check a must.
:History:
She grew up in France with a sweet, docile mother who could control light and a mean, strict father who could control fire. Her power was passed down from her great grandfather, and she was looked at as a prize by both parents. She never had a rebellious stage, her father had beat it out of her at that age. At school she was skittish around boys, and the girls often made fun of her. When they moved when she was fourteen she hoped for a new start. It was not what happened. She got a boyfriend, he was a horrible person; cruel and possessive. It took her two years too get away, and at that age she was twenty. She took the side of the villains hoping too change the current system.
