Character Bios / Firebird

 [attachment id=0 msg=5290]

Name: Firebird
Origin: Natural
Archetype: Scrapper
Alignment: Hero
Title: The Everburning Phoenix Of The Splendid Seven
Battlecry / Catchphrase: Ready to rumble!

Primary Powerset: Street Justice
Secondary Powerset: Fiery Aura
Tertiary Powerset: Leaping, Speed

Secret Identity: Phoenyx Lionheart
Affiliations: Andromeda Galaxy, The Splendid Seven, Galaxy Defense Force
Day Jobs: Duelist, Caregiver, Banker
Other Nicknames: Supermom, Fiery Lady, Miss Lionheart, Firebabe, Lady Phoenyx, Phoenix Fever

[attachment id=1 msg=5290]

Backstory:
Phoenyx Lionheart lived a life of adventure and excitement as a fiery brawler who often gets her into trouble with crime families and bounty hunters. Fate gave her the chance to be with a loving man who she saved from Nyarlathotep's agents in the planet of Ishtar, who was known as Sandalphon, an archmage with a pure heart. After Phoenyx found out that she was pregnant with Sandalphon's child, she was torn between aborting her unborn daughter or abandon her lifestyle filled with thrills and adventure. Because of her abundant love for Sandalphon, Phoenyx chose the latter option.

Phoenyx would later give birth to her daughter Brianna, and later raised and trained her daughter to become a hero who would later be Lovebird. Seeing as though Phoenyx knew about the crime families and bounty hunter factions that terrorized parts of the Andromeda Galaxy more than any other hero, the Star Warrior known as Marston came to visit her and face her in a duel. Although Phoenyx managed to hold her own with Marston for a long time, she was ultimately defeated by him, but her resolve was acknowledged and her spot in the Splendid Seven was earned.

As Firebird, she is a master in hand to hand combat while having the ability manipulate and generate fire to create flaming melee weapons as well as empowering her fists with her flames to generate explosive punches to immolate and decimate her foes, making her a very versatile combatant.

Character Bios / Shadelord Ren Sakayama

 [attachment id=0 msg=5289]

Name: Ren Sakayama
Origin: Magic
Archetype: Blaster
Alignment: Hero
Title: The Shadelord of House Sakayama
Battlecry / Catchphrase: The storm comes...

Primary Powerset: Storm Blast*
Secondary Powerset: Ice Manipulation
Tertiary Powerset: Flight
Epic Powerset: Dark Mastery*

Secret Identity: Ren Sakayama
Affiliations: The Voidsworn, House Sakayama, Andromeda Galaxy
Day Jobs: Dimensional Explorer, Pilot
Other Nicknames: Shadelord Sakayama, Doom & Gloom, Weather Man, Storm-Lite

(* = Powerset is on Homecoming)

[attachment id=1 msg=5289]

Backstory:
The youngest of the Sakayama family and the most powerful due to his mastery in weather manipulation mixed with his immense resistance to psychic energy. As a child, Ren had a destiny to fulfill when he discovered he could manipulate weather. Weather manipulation, according to the houses of Voidsworn, was a difficult power to master due to its overwhelming power. Not in this case according to Ren Sakayama as he learned to master it within three months.

Once his vacationing spot in Lorelei was attacked by a Galaxia battalion that were in the process of burning down a large metropolitan city, he created a deadly hurricane that leveled the entire city along with the soldiers that were responsible for invading it. Although this raised a sense of distrust among the Warriors of Aria that were determined to defend Andromeda as much as the Voidsworn and many other factions, Ren Sakayama was to be promoted as the Shadelord of House Sakayama.

Ren Sakayama is one who manipulates weather at an almost godlike level, but usually, it requires an atmosphere to manipulate such a natural force. If he has no atmosphere to use his weather manipulating abilities, he relies on cryokinesis and aerokinesis to freeze and blow away his foes. Rumor has it that since Andromeda came to Milky Way, he built a superpower that used weather manipulation to level anything it targeted in a mountain area somewhere in Japan. This has yet to be confirmed.

Other Nicknames: Lord Mazardath, Wideload, Mazardork, Big Man On Galaxia

[attachment id=1 msg=5284]

Backstory:
From a different galaxy, Mazardath was an ambitious shadowmage who sought to harness a power source known as the endless void. He had traveled to an unknown system in which it was entirely inhabited by monsters from the void. Mazardath came across an obelisk and his body was ripped apart by the void when the black star known as Nihilsol transformed him into a demigod comprised entirely of pure darkness. From there, Mazardath would start bringing his terror upon the universe as a Voidlord.

Kingdoms would be swallowed in darkness. Colonies would be swept away. Dimensions would be twisted. Entire civilizations succumbed to his terrible power. Over the course of ten years, Mazardath converted enough people to form the intergalactic empire which would subjugate every galaxy and dimension he could find known as Galaxia.

With Mazardath as the Grand Commander of Galaxia and with the infinite power of the void, he was able to achieve that goal by conquering enough galaxies to expand his dominion until the Andromeda Galaxy was on his crosshairs and the brave and powerful Star Warrior known as Marston easily repelled the Galaxia aggressors with the help of the Splendid Seven and banished Mazardath from the galaxy by defeating him in an epic battle which saved Andromeda from a dark fate.

Enraged by this defeat, Mazardath had one goal to achieve before he could proceed with his ultimate grand plan: Slay the Star Warrior and conquer the Andromeda Galaxy.

A psychic at birth who had spent her early childhood at an orphanage until she reached twelve, when Lord Recluse was in need of more psychic children to bolster the ranks of his Bane Spiders or Fortunatas. Demetrius Stephens, a ruthless Bane Spider soldier loyal to Lord Recluse, pillaged the orphanage and killed its people to the last child, especially the caregivers who worked with the children in that orphanage. All of them except for Mirabelle, since Demetrius and his squad were here for her since she was a children born with psychic abilities. Fortunately for Mirabelle, the local heroine who had psychic abilities just like her drove the Arachnos forces away.

Under the heroine's care, Mirabelle was taken to Paragon City and lived peacefully with her adoptive mother until she was old enough to join the countless heroes in charge of protecting Earth from the evil organizations that threaten the peace and security. However, when Galaxy City was destroyed by a meteor attack, Mirabelle felt disillusioned as her heart darkened. She would soon turn from heroic duty to mercenary work and would eventually run away from Paragon City and end up in Grandville, turning herself in to Arachnos.

Accepting her voluntary involvement in joining Recluse's regime, she ended up in the Bane Spider network as an assassin. Although not fully accepted into the link like most of them, she proves herself to be a capable and loyal soldier who believes that only the strong should survive no matter the cost. With her expertise in infiltration and cold-blooded murder, she eliminates Arachnos's enemies without hesitation.

[attachment id=1 msg=4944]

Backstory:
Odin Obsidium was once an impressive general in The Sun Battalion. Odin was not always the evil man he is today. He became his own worst enemy the day he went to Metis to take out a villain who plans to irradiate the entirety of the Shattered Clock occupied mineral rich world with a device that can emit ungodly amounts of gamma radiation in order to put the Indigo System's already damaged economy beyond the state of recovery. After detonating the device, Odin Obsidium was hailed a hero for stopping the insane mastermind responsible for the attempted terrorist attack on Metis.

During his time on the planet, Odin found a dark crystal that is said to be rarely found in Metis and had the idea of inserting it into his chest cavity. Successful in his procedure, his flames augmented tenfold and turned from a regular orange color to a dark green. However, the crystal not only increased the potency of his flames, but it had also scrambled his mind. Since he gained his newfound ability to generate fiercer flames, he began to realize that Flynn Krauser, the Sun Duke of the Sun Battalion, was no longer worthy of leading the Sun Battalion.

Bold in his arrogance, Odin attempted to overthrow the Sun Duke but had failed ultimately and was cast out by his former allies and friends. After his exile, he forms the terrorist organization known as The Onyx Syndicate, a group of terroristic hero hunters who vows to eliminate the elders of Andromeda and annihilate any hero who stood in his way. Anyone who would dare to challenge or underestimate Obsidius's power would be burned to ashes, or worse...

Name: Lieutenant General Malia Akande
Origin: Natural
Archetype: Blaster

Title: Space Raider Corps's Most Feared Leader
Battlecry / Catchphrase: That was your last mistake.

Primary Powerset: Dual Pistols
Secondary Powerset: Martial Combat

Secret Identity: Malia Akande
Affiliations: Space Raider Corps, Galaxy Defense Force, Andromeda Galaxy
Day Jobs: Dimensional Explorer, Law Enforcer, Security Chief
Other Nicknames: Dark Angel of Arcturus

[attachment id=1 msg=4911]

Backstory:
The Commander of Death. The Dark Angel of Arcturus. The General With a Cold Gaze. These titles defined one Lieutenant General Malia Akande of the Andromeda Space Raider Corps. The Space Raider Corps were a very powerful and deadly division in Andromeda's military might. The SRC alone have colonized undiscovered planets in the Andromeda Galaxy, took down villain organizations within the blink of an eye, silenced dangerous conspirators in mere seconds, acquired military hardware more advanced than the Galaxy Defense Force, the Dragon Bone Air Force, and the Armor Superiority Strikeforce combined. One of those operatives was Malia Akanade.

During her career, she won her large share of medals and confirmed kills in her tours of duty to protect her home galaxy. One of her accomplishments was the execution of every man, woman, and child that fought for the Trinity's beliefs in murdering every single person with a superability or superpower that were on Arcturus. After the surviving Trinity members were rounded up, they were brutally executed by Malia herself, displaying her resolve and the will to make the ultimate sacrifice, even if it means taking extreme measures.

As vigilant as she is ruthless, she ultimately believes in the security of her home galaxy, no matter what the cost might be. While she leads the SRC with decisive tactics and an iron will, she often works with heroes, mainly the Galaxy Spartans to stop threats from corrupting or eradicating a planet in the galaxy that might be in grave danger. When it came to joining forces with outsiders known as those from the Milky Way, she had a suspicion that some among the Milky Way would try to undermine the ideals of the Andromeda Galaxy, which could explain why some of the members in Malia's SRC are stationed on parts of the Solar System to monitor Earth in case the alliance between Milky Way and Andromeda is broken in some way.

Other Nicknames: N/A

[attachment id=1 msg=4890]

Backstory:
Yuri Kazankov was a former Spetsnaz soldier that had went through a special training program that was kept secret from the outside world. Doctors augmented his body with a resilient endoskeleton and a type of Praetorian armor that the Spetsnaz reverse engineered after the 5th Column smuggled it into a warehouse in which the Spetsnaz commandos raided and took off with this technology along with other important technological advances that the 5th Column's army acquired. As one of the Spetsnaz's highly advanced killing machines, he was built with a threat repulsion system and an energy conversion pack inside his augmented body. Bold in his superior officer's arrogance, Yuri was sent to the Rogue Isles on a secret mission in an attempt to eradicate Arachnos from the inside.

How Yuri got into the Spetsnaz was that he was able to fully repair a broken down Russian tank from World War 2 known as a JS-2 as well as make some modifications to it by mounting a flamethrower near its main cannon which increased its effectiveness in battle. Yuri enjoyed the life of a Spetsnaz soldier when it came to protecting his country from foreign threats until he signed up for a training program that little did he know would involve experimentation in implementing cybernetics into its own soldiers. Yuri Kazankov was one of those people.

For days on end, Yuri's body was being continuously augmented with radioactive components and titanium plating that looked similar to the Praetorian Clockwork's design. After days of working on Yuri's perfected body, his emotions and free will was wiped out from his memory banks. Loyal to his country now more than ever, he is sent to the Rogue Isles to monitor Lord Recluse and his soldiers of Arachnos. When the time comes, Yuri will be there to witness Arachnos's downfall.

[attachment id=1 msg=4888]

Backstory:
Harold Thompson grew up in the planet of Tatsuya and worked as a small-time mechanic who became a high-ranking hero in the Sun Battalion. His rise to fame started when a pregnant woman was about to give birth to her child at a restaurant that he was eating at unexpectedly. Since a hospital or clinic was too far away, Harold decided to do the procedure by himself after calling a medivac team from the Galaxy Defense Force. After successfully delivering the woman's baby, which was in healthy condition, the medivac team was able to take the newborn baby and its mother to the nearest hospital in time. Congratulated by the heroic deed, Harold was to be a Galaxy Spartan, but he was defeated by his closest friend, Bernard Karsmann. This defeat landed him in a position as a hero in the Sun Battalion.

Since his time in the Sun Battalion, Harold gained the attention of a GeneTech scientist known as Doctor Abraham Allenwood ever since he saved the woman from the restaurant's life and her child. Since his superability was given to him by a sunforged monarcium core embedded in his chest, he had to wear a protective suit that nullified half of his power since his full power was simply unable to control properly.

It's unclear how Sunreaver fused himself with a Kheldian, but there's a theory that he was one of the crewmates that boarded a research ship that was on its way to one of the Sun Battalion's remote bases on a dwarf planet known as Pluto. The research ship that Harold was in included captured Kheldian specimens that Andromedans were interested in studying. One of the specimens has rumored to escape and fused with Harold's monarcium core in his chest, absorbing his solar energy and turning him into one of Sunstorm's Peacebringers. Thanks to his involuntary fusion, he has unfortunately become one of the targets for the Void Hunters.

The first planet colonized was to be Ruhines, which was packed with rare materials that was sought by technicians loyal to the Shattered Clock, and was very close to one of the Faexmeth System's two suns. More specifically, a blue star at the center of the system codenamed Izanagi.

Hugo's time in the Sun Battalion left him hardened as an ox ever since the Faexmeth War and decided to become an instructor for future recruits in the Sun Duke's ranks.

He was once the hero known as Abyss Fist until he clashed with a Death Mage responsible for kidnapping another Midnight Squad member who was spying on the Circle of Thorns regarding a rumor about a soul conduit that could be used to empower their mages. The Death Mage known as Lalthenniz would have been rotting behind bars in a prison cell if not for his sacrifice that caused him to destroy the soul conduit that he was using along with the hideout he was in. Alan Lesserwick was unfortunately one of the people who was caught in the explosion, but he managed to sacrifice his own life willingly so that the spy could make it out safely.

The resulting annihilation of Lalthenniz's base would have killed Alan, but the freed souls from Lalthenniz's conduit resurrected him and turned him into a wraith. Now, Alan Lesserwick fights for the heroes as a spirit among the realm of the living who reaps the souls of villains who would dare eradicate order and peace in this chaotic world known as Primal Earth.

[attachment id=1 msg=4883]

Backstory:
Raised in a planet called Nishihara, Russell Gold was a boy whose been the cursed member of his family every few generations that carried the essence of the entity of rage. Spending the years in a dangerous world that he was born and raised in, he learned to survive and eventually moved to the colonized moon of Scylla known as Atros and met the woman of his life named Miranda. For four years, they kept Atros safe, fighting evil side by side as partners. When Miranda had passed away after she and Russell were ambushed by a group of anti-superpower luddites known as The Trinity, the essence inside of him would fully manifest, changing Russell's life entirely...

Shortly after Miranda's death, Russell had become lost to the hatred and vengeance that overwhelmed him and hunted down the cult's base of operations. Every man, woman, and child was brutally murdered by his hand. Children had cried out in pain. Blood and viscera stained the ground. Screams of terror was heard from miles. Russell had given in to Nyarlathotep's influences and avenged Miranda's death without mercy and at the cost of his humanity. The base of operations was soon infamous for a landmark known as "The Butcher's Playground."

Russell's superability allows him to convert his rage or hate into energy that he can use to eradicate enemies and even make energy constructs and spew superheated plasma from his mouth. If his anger is too much for him however, he'll become bloodthirsty and will start attacking friend and foe alike indiscriminately, and his blood would slowly posion him to the point where he perishes from his own rage. There is one theory that has been confirmed only once that someone who is under Nyarlathotep's influence could be cured by the essence of the entity of compassion given to a being known as Proselyte.

As a Galaxy Spartan member, he is a hunter who tracks down and murders criminals and villains that are hiding in the Andromeda Galaxy. Since his arrival in Paragon City, he's been looking to bring more souls and blood for Nyarlathotep to satisfy his bloodlust.

Backstory:
Connor Fairbanks was a race car driver that eventually flew too close to the sun. His career began when he eliminated his competition with his modified Vector M12 supercar in the Eagle Raceway of Nebraska, and from there he won thirty consecutive race tournaments across the United States. His fame would soon diminish when he was qualified for the nationals, and ended up losing almost every race to the point where his fame died down and was laughed at by the people that used to idolize him.

After his career died down, he started walking into a life of crime, burning down public property and robbing liquor stores. Once the crimes have caught up to him, he was sent to a prison complex commonly referred to as "The Zig" in Brickstown, spending four years of his life inside the prison complex with his life going further down the drain. Once he paid his debt to society, Connor Fairbanks decided to move to Croatoa, where he would spend the rest of his life alone in his new home as a washed up has-been that once had it all. The days he spent in Croatoa was peaceful for Connor, thinking that he made peace with his past life and moved on, until the Galaxy City incident came to pass, and caused panic among the citizens of Paragon City.

Connor had realized that people were in desperate need of heroes now that Galaxy City is destroyed and the increased presence of Arachnos soldiers. Instead of building his life back up and returning to the race car driver business, he took this opportunity to join the heroes to right the wrongs he done in the past. With a suit designed by himself and a serum injected into his body that enhanced his speed and reflexes, Connor Fairbanks was reborn as the hero known as "Nitroflame."

Lots of people give him the nickname "The Human Supercar" because of his previous career, but he refers to be called by his hero name.

Backstory:
Nephtali Yukiharu is a descendant of the once influential Yukiharu family who had built gadgets and weapons that have helped heroes from across the globe fight evil. But the Yukiharu family name would be forever changed. Nephtali spent most of his childhood training himself while most of his family had neglected him. Their focus was on his other siblings, Corabelle and Farris. Once Nephtali had mastered the ways of the blade, he went down the path of treachery and killed his siblings in cold blood, as well as his mother and father, making himself as the company's owner.

Nephtali had found out about experimental weapons that Johnathan and his researchers had been secretly constructing. Weapons that involved the use of mind-melting psionic waves and quantum energy beams that can turn any living creature to ashes. As the new company owner, he sold it to Arachnos for an extraordinary amount of money along with the experimental weapons that Recluse's soldiers and scientists have utilized. Ever since then, Nephtali bears the honor of the Yukiharu family in his own image while bringing glory to Arachnos as "The Weiss Assassin." While loyal to Lord Recluse, he follows a code of honor unlike most of the decrepit criminals that make up Lord Recluse's Project: DESTINY.

As an Arachnos assassin, he had achieved quite a lot at such a young age during his rise to power in Lord Recluse's regime. From eradicating the Longbow foothold on Cap Au Diable with the help of his fellow villains to eliminating Overdrive's task force and the Legacy Chain army in Sharkhead Isle with the use of the Blood Coral, he proved to be one of Recluse's deadliest assassins and earned the favor of Scirocco as one of his most trusted disciples. Even when he was focused on eliminating Arachnos's enemies, a spark of morality ignited within his soul when he was tested by a Oneiromancer from the Legacy Chain, the same faction that was slaughtered by Nephtali's blade. Despite Nephtali's protests, he pressed on and saved this said Oneiromancer from a supposedly certain death and was rewarded with an artifact known as the Oculus. Nephtali gazed into the Oculus and remembered someone who had cared about his existence more than anyone else... Her eldest sister... Corabelle Yukiharu...

Soon after, his soul was struck with a terrible case of regret and indecision. Will he forsake everything that the Yukiharu bloodline he stood for all those years, or will he take the chance of redeeming himself and steer the family name back in the right direction?

Guardian / Re: Verdict on Guardians?
Mar 05, 2023, 12:54 PM
I know this is an old post from June of 2021, but screw it, I'm gonna reply anyway.

The Guardian is an archetype that is capable dealing damage while having the ability to offer heavy support to your teammates and even to yourself. Their inherent ability known as Resolve grants them the ability to acquire Status Protection and Absorption after defeating an enemy. This inherent ability stacks up to three times, and can affect nearby teammates.

Their survivability is a bit better than a Blaster, Corruptor, or Dominator thanks to their Composition power sets granting them defense abilities. While their survivability doesn't measure up to the Brute and Tanker archetypes, their overall damage output and support capabilities are perfectly balanced, making the Guardian an all-purpose character in a sense.

However, the Guardian itself can be a massive endurance hog if you don't plan out your build well. It's best to give yourself Endurance Reduction enhancements for the abilities you get that require you to use a lot of endurance. Even if it won't help with the endurance problem much, those enhancements will make a difference, especially the IOs that you may want to craft that relies on recovery and endurance reduction.

Overall, the Guardian is a solid archetype that delivers everything that you can possibly need for bringing villains to justice or gutting heroes like fish, but they don't hold a candle compared to the Blaster or Stalker in my honest opinion.

That is all. My honest opinion on the Guardian archetype.
