[CS] It Happened at Westbrook Characters

[Frozen Princess]

This is where to put all characters that will have anything to do with the city of Westbrook somewhere in the Midwest.

If at all possible, try to follow these character sheets by starting with where in town they belong.

High School

Windy MacEnroe, 16, adopted daughter of the owners of the teen hangout, a diner called The Golden Spoon where she also works part-time as a waitress. It had started as a malt shop in the 50s, but after her mom took over, and married a short order cook, it added burgers, fries, breakfasts and a variety of other popular food.

Windy is tall and lanky, and would make a decent basketball player despite her size (5-7) but she's not interested in anything except track and field, where she excels in nearly every category, however, she isn't the best. Smart and witty, she is still the target of bullies, due mostly to her intelligence and thinness, a regular beanpole.

If she's not on the field, working in the diner or at class, she can usually be found with a book under a tree, eating a packed lunch, or in the library. The only days she's in the cafeteria is Tuesdays and Fridays... Or when she forgot her lunch.

She tends to be shy at first, but once she gets to know you and become a friend to her (which is done best by respecting her boundaries), you're a friend for life, and she'll have your back.

After the meteor, her powers are superspeed (49,804 mph)


Top. Windy MacEnroe. Bottom, as Velocity

College

Ginger Aylesworth, 19, head sister of the Fratority Delta Lambda Pi at Westbrook College. She stands 5-10.

She's no-nonsense and quick tempered, but it usually takes a lot to set her off. She's also very fit, and runs an exercise/fitness class in the fratority house. Enjoys brainstorming with the smart set, and can, on occasion, give them a run for their money.

Speaking of running, you can usually find her in the early morning, out for a jog to keep herself physically fit. She can be easygoing until you cross her.

After the meteor: Her powers are, telekinesis, flight. Think Magneto, but good.

Finally found the picture for Ginger Aylesworth out of costume

Ginger as Cardio
Workplace

Detective Erin Holmes, 25, Westbrook PD. Youngest and smartest detective in the history of Westbrook, Brunette Erin is more Nancy Drew than her namesake, and is even better known on problem solving Drew style.

Although very observant, she leans more on her wits and reading of the clues than of reading people. Even before the meteor, she knew the law inside and out, but wasn't able to quote it. She can learn from her mistakes, and has never repeated one, once it's been brought to her attention.

She became the lead detective of the department just before the meteor.

After the meteor: Superintelligence, eidetic memory, ability to quote the law exactly as written-making her even more by the book than she already was.



Sapphire "Scoops" Davenport, 20, TV Reporter. 5-4

Scoops is a TV journalist with an eye on her surroundings that's unmatched among her colleagues. She also keeps digging, making her like a bulldog with a bone. She tends to ask questions that may sound a bit odd, but it's usually to trip up the haughty. Think Columbo without the bumbling and as a reporter.

Well toned and athletic, Scoops actually has just above average strength and stamina for a woman of her height and build.

Scoops didn't get any powers from the exploding meteorite, but has the wits and insight to uncover the mystery of what has happened to Westbrook since



@Ask the Question

 

[Frozen Princess]

Bump for @Inkybus

 

[Inkybus]

Amaya "Melia" Sosa is a young argentinian woman who looks to be about 19 years of age: she has medium-long straight black hair which frames her otherwise very plain looking face. Her body is not remarkably fit but she looks healthy, overall; her complexion she has from her father, a pretty pale thing. Standing at a hundred and sixty-seven centimeters (5'6") she is fairly average in height, when compared with the rest of the female population.

She dresses in comfortable clothes, with their second-best quality being their durability: she does not seem to care much for her outward appearance and she wears a minimal amount of make-up. Before her powers manifested, she worked in a dead-end service job and as a nurse.

Relatives:
Mara Sosa (deceased) - an abusive and alcoholic mother, who used her alimony checks on buying affordable beer. Amaya hated her, since she was the target of her mother's violence, since her father was not there.
Dwight Jefferson - father who ditched Amaya's mother when she was just starting to remember things, to go start a family with his mistress.
René Gonzales - (40y/o, m) social worker who tried to get a hold of Amaya to help her with foster care and everything - they have an amicable relationship.

What people who like her say about her:
- She's remarkably upbeat, despite the circumstances; . She doesn't like tight-fisted folk, though.
What people who dislike her say about her:
- She is an immature girl who's constantly joking. And she's really petty and vindictive!

Powers:
Amaya is a biokinetic with an innate understanding of, and the ability to modify, the biology of any living organism she touches. She is not only capable to use her powers on humans, but on all carbon-based life. As a result, her body is immune to bacteria, viruses and parasites whilst she is conscious. Amaya uses this power mostly to heal people: with a touch and five seconds, she can close a wound and fast-forward the recovery of the body to the point only a faint scar remains. This is but one of the many things she can do with her biokinesis.

She is restricted in the use of her powers, in that she can't modify her own body (she is still a squishy human being), she has to touch someone and if she does not have biomass to work with, she can't do much (there has to be organic mass she can modify and manipulate: she can't create biomatter herself) so whenever she uses her power, depending on how much she modified, the subject of her power will feel hungry as she used their reserves to work on them.

---

"Schro" is a young man who looks to be eighteen years of age, with a masculine face, slightly narrower than average mouth and well-defined, angular eyebrows. His icy blue eyes generally glare at the world with, what the average Joe would call, a piercing stare. His skin is pale, clearly of caucasian ancestry, with mahogany dark hair which is always cut short.

Relatives:
(None that are known at the moment)
Associates:
Hijos de Renzo, a group of young latino gangsters who are among the primary drug pushers in Westbrook.

What people who like him say:
- He's very driven in everything he does and he has a very keen sense of caution. He's remarkably good at singing with his tenor voice.
What people who dislike him say:
- A paranoid and cynical SOB.

Powers:
Schro is a cognitohazard. He has the power to influence any sense that percieves him, allowing him to leave hallucinations playing over and engraved in the mind of anyone who sees, hears, smells or touches him. The strength of the effect and degree of control depends on how long and clearly he was percieved initially and the nature of the hallucinations depend on the senses with which he was percieved. Anyone registering Schro with any part of their Sensorium, including those senses granted by superpowers, will be vulnerable to Schro's manipulation and the then altered perception of that sense.

Most often, this involves auditory and visual hallucinations- but physical contact with him can result with him inflicting excruciating pain at will on his victims. Those who do not have a sense of touch are, naturally, immune.

Last but not least, Schro can sense through the infected sense as well, including anything provided by a power.

 

[Frozen Princess]

Bump for @Plague Raven

 

[Plague Raven]

Suzune Akira, going by the usual family name-first format back home, is a short, 1.55 metre young lad of Japanese descent who appears to be of age 16, and attends the local high school. He is bespectacled with dark hair.

He is the studious type at first glance, his stern face screaming no nonsense, yet at the same time, he enjoys giving in to his curiousity and exploring things. This does include his current predicament.

His powers are quite unique. He has the ability to pull from relics, items and artifacts and draw the power of the beings that are supposedly associated with them. It works with even things like storybooks, but of course, how much power of the strength of his feats are based on the following:

- How likely genuine the artifact is (storybooks provide little power, but enough for a good one-to-one, fake artifacts provide decent power and real ones provide a good amount)
- How known the figure is throughout the world (belief and all)

He might even be able to draw power from modern fictional characters that have a fair share of global popularity, but for now, he doubts it.

Actually, forget doubting it - he doesn't actually know how his powers truly work. Right now, he channels his powers via an old "good luck charm" that actually dates back to some old days. This little piece is actually an artifact of Greek origin that his archeologist parents gave to him - a Gorgoneion.

The powers granted by channeling this item specifically involve turning opponents to stone, general enhanced abilities (particularly durability) and a light healing factor. Due to circumstances, this petrification is not permanent. He can also conjure any number of lances at any point.

Additionally, should he recieve any wounds where blood should bleed, he can slow his healing factor to allow more blood to drip. If enough blood falls, he can materialize a great steed - a pegasus - that he can return to himself at any point.

~~~~~~

This entity, that I shall simply call Sunflower, is a group of sunflowers with connected roots that absorbed the radiation of the meteor. Sunflowers are pretty good at absorbing radiation, so the result was a new entity who attained human form and human intelligence. This human form is female, blonde, completely flat and curveless and quite petite by default. She has blonde hair and eyes that spark, appearing to be of cacausian descent.

Sunflower gained a decent range of abilities as a result of the radiation, having absorbed much of it, possibly more than even a human can.

The first of such abilities is size manipulation, and quite an extreme version at that. The catch is that she requires water, soil and/or plant matter to add to her body. Once she has it, she can alter her proportions and her size. She prefers to take the form of a very small, 10 centimetre humanoid who fits in one's pockets to avoid detection, but can assume a default 'human' form that is about 148 centimetres tall, believing that a smaller size is more efficient.

Another such ability is basic levitation. This, combined with the ability to become tiny, as well as a later mentioned ability to sprout leaves, flower petals or other plant parts from her body, gives the impression that she is a tiny fairy, even if she is not actually using wing-based flight.

Her third ability is plant manipulation and related stuff. She can transform into any plant she can identify, even a group of plants if need be, and she can freely control surrounding plants, even making them grow instantaneously. She can even make plants or parts of plants grow from her body.

Her fourth ability is light absorption and redirection. As a plant, she absorbs light, but she can also release this light in the form of a ranged, concentrated attack.

 

[Frozen Princess]

Schro approved as long as he doesn't become godlike. Please from now on, post incoming characters in a separate post, so I can read them via email first. Really appreciate it.

Rebecca Knight is a nonsuper with just above average strength, stamina and intelligence for a college educated lawyer of 27, and has been in Westbrook almost all her life, her high school being the same one Akira and Windy attend now. She attended University of Minnesota Law School for her degree.

She is part of Westbrook's prestigious Ricci and Associates, and is a senior partner with the firm, being with it from it's inception a little over a year ago.

She personally specializes in rights and will actually help her clients get the best judgement possible. Although public relations isn't her forte, she will help her coworker and fellow senior partner with the load if needbe.

 

[Frozen Princess]

Bump for @MsBloom

 

[MsBloom]

Full Name: Kim Su-Ji

Alias: Cheshire (After a certain mysterious inter-planar cat claiming that all the best people are crazy.)

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Orientation: Lesbian.

Background: Su-ji came to Westbrook from Los Angeles her junior year of high school with her recently widowed adoptive mother Jamila Thurston. The rather odd mother/daughter duo settled in a penthouse apartment in down town Westbrook with a small but neatly kept rooftop garden where Su-Ji liked to spend her afternoons and sometimes, in the summer, slept there in a hammock strung up between two ornate lamp posts, usually with her Norwegian Forest Cat Nefertiti sleeping on her chest.

Despite something of a bad girl look and attitude, with a fondness for wearing leather and heavy make up Su-Ji is really quite intelligent and culturally inclined. She is well-read, paints a little when the mood strikes her, and in general does very well in school. She is perhaps not a straight A student but not far from it.

When the meteorite struck Westbrook she was lying in her hammock with Nef and Monday morning when she woke up she at first simply felt odd but then as she made her way to the bathroom to shower noticed that her physique had been radically altered into something quite feline. The first thing she did notice was that she had somehow grown a fluffy tail over night, the other was that she could clearly hear a conversation from the street below and smell the freshly made coffee and cinnamon rolls straight from the oven from the corner shop a block away.

When she looked into a mirror she noticed the full transformation. She now had cat ears on top of her head rather than on the sides. She also had whiskers. Basically ... She was a freak.

(In short the radiation from the meteorite had caused her own DNA to mix with Nef's, which also had a few effects on Nef, such as for instance an almost human intelligence, though I am unsure if the two will share some common language in which to communicate.)

Abilities: Feline agility, strength, instinct and reflexes, along with heightened senses of hearing, smell and night vision.

Complications/Side Effects: Pointy ears, whiskers and a 5' tail (not seen in the image reference but easily imagined I hope). Extremely high metabolism, (basically has to eat all the time, the higher in carbs and fat the better.) If she misses a meal she grows tired and weak, and also get migraine-like headaches. It also affects her mood as if it wasn't already unstable enough.

Personality: Mood swings: Each mood max out. When she is angry she is absolutely pissed no matter what she is angry about. If she is sad she burst out sobbing as if the world around her was coming to an end. On the rare occasions she is happy she is absolutely ecstatic. When she's feeling cuddly she is an absolutely relentless nuisance. This was bad enough even before her transformation but it got worse after.

 

[Frozen Princess]

Kim Su-Ji is approved. Thanks for reminding me that with Windy's powers, she's also going to have a really high metabolism (ravenous appetite). Difference is she's going to need vitamins and minerals as well as carbs and fat.

[Frozen Princess]

That's the name of that NPC then. Changed in previous post.

 

[MsBloom]

Full Name:

Alias: Blair Bailey

Age: 21

Gender: Non-Binary (AMAB)

Background: Blair was a highly intelligent child growing up on a small farm a good half hour from Westbrook where his intelligence was not only not appreciated but ridiculed. Books were for geeks and nerds, any music requiring more than five instruments at the very most (of which at least one had to be drums and at least one had to be electrified) was sissy music, the same held true for all music exceeding 4, possibly 5 minutes (the one exception of course being Stairway to Heaven). Being uncomfortable with the idea of binary genders, and not fully accepting the gender they had been assigned at birth, did not help either.

Their three older brothers and two sisters, one older, one younger, constantly bullied them about liking all those things mentioned above, called them all manner of names. Once the brothers had even dressed them up in their sisters' clothes in the belief that this would make them feel humiliated and when instead they seemed to feel quite comfortable with it they beat them up.

Their parents were no more understanding than their siblings. Blair was however also strong and worked hard which their family took full advantage of. They were basically treated like a slave around the farm.

They have no higher formal education than high school but are still quite well educated as they often ran off and spent days reading literally every book in Westbrook Public Library. On the evening of the Meteorite they were on their way back from such a trip and one of the pieces crashed close enough to them for the impact to throw them off the road.

Abilities: Hardened skin with metallic qualities. Impervious to pain (but also to pleasure). All they can really feel is pressure and impact.

Complications/Side Effects: Not being able to feel pain of pleasure surely has its downsides especially as this also extends to other senses such as taste and smell. They can still discern tastes and scents but cannot derive either pleasure or distaste from them. Instead taste and scent is (in their brain) broken down into strict chemistry. For instance; water tastes like H2O, with possible underlying tastes of various minerals such as NaCl, Fe, CO2 and so on.

Personality: Bitter. Angry. Cunning. Misandrist.

 

[MsBloom]

A list of supporting characters played by me:

Edith Wilson

Age: 22
height: 5'10

Background: Edith is originally not from Westbrook but from upstate New York but moved to Westbrook for college. She studied photography with the intention of then continuing to study film at NYU. May actually have a crush on Scoops.

Personality: Eager. Social. Diligent.

---

Loni Gretsch

Age: 16

Profession: Captain of the cheersquad.

Role: Windy's love interest.

---

Gabriella "Ella" Baudelaire

Age: 20

Height: 5'7

Profession: College Student (NYU)/Hacker

Role: Edith's ex and deep source.

Background: Originally from Luxembourg Ella came to Rochester, NY in 2017 with her father and after high school moved to New York City to study computer science at NYU.

 

[CasualVelociraptor]

[Deleted due to withdrawing.]

 

[Inkybus]

Name: Marko Stojanovic
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Height: 187cm
Weight: 84kg
Descent: Slavic
Hair: Black
Eyes: Light blue
Tattoos: Raven, shoulder
Oddities: shaved head; facial scars, prominent over right eyebrow and on forehead;

Personality: brave, temperate and vengeful

Background:
Marko was born to a french immigrant mother and a serbian immigrant father, both of whom came to the USA to start a new life, chasing the American Dream. Unfortunately, Marko's father turned out to be a lousy, violent drunkard. It was not until Marko was eleven, that his mother and he managed to get away from him, cutting ties as best as they could when he was imprisoned for assault and battery.

They moved in to a new home and Marko's mother remarried to a very strict baptist christian zealot, whose method of education and correction were similar to those of generations past: unwilling to put up with more abuse, Marko managed to lay low for a few more years, before he got through with his SATs and graduated early, testing into Westbrook college at a mere 14 years of age.

Now he attends college, having finished the courses for mathematics and mechanical engineering and getting straight into computer engineering and physics.

Powers:
When the meteorite burst, Marko gained a power that allows him to manipulate the metals found on earth, as long as he can touch them with his bare hands: his fingers have yet undiscovered glands that emit waves and vibrations that result in metals moving and reforming according to his direction and will. He has other such organs over his body, but the ones on his hands and arms are more developed, due to how familiar Marko is with manipulating things that he can work with his hands.

But another consequence of the mysterious meteorite bursting atop the city is the development in the brain of the young engineer: his understanding of physics and all the laws that make up reality has been greatly amplified. So much so that he has ideas for technology that is far more advanced than what humans are currently making.

He specialises in tactical combat weaponry and armour made of plasma and forcefields respectively, but not to the exclusion of everything else.

High School

James Munroe, 16, current captain of the soccer team, has always had a reputation as a protector. Someone who will stick his neck out for complete strangers, even if it would result in him losing his head. The possibility of this being for some sort of personal gain was dismissed long past. Still, he had the needs and desires of a boy of his age, but the problem was, if he'd ask out a girl who he'd helped, he'd feel like he was taking advantage. And most of the girls he hadn't helped, were of the crowd who liked to look down their noses at him. Still, he held out hope that he'd lose his virginity before the end of sophomore year. Meanwhile, he dabbled in building computers, particularly gaming ones, and even though with soccer, his part-time gig as a file clerk at the police station, and school he was unable to devote much time to making personal use of his skills, a growing number of people in Westbrook have paid him good money for what turns out to be top-notch work that rivals that of Alienware and other top gaming PC brands.

Powers: Technokinesis: control of any technology from lightbulbs up to and including supercomputers, as well as the ability to touch an internet-connected device and "enter" the internet in search of specific information or as a means of finding and controlling devices that are not at his current, physical location. The means by which he achieves this is still a mystery. A severe drawback of this is that while he is using this ability, he is completely unaware of his surroundings. However, he will not tire nor need extra sustenance while "in the internet" as he can draw power into his body directly from the billions of internet-connected devices.

Invisibility and forcefield projection: Basically, think Sue Storm from Fantastic Four. The intensity and durability of his forcefields is greater when he has just finished a longer "jaunt" through the internet, as the excess power he has absorbed can make the forcefields stronger. Even though he would not ever harm someone beyond the bare minimum to remove them as a threat, he has, as an experiment, used his forcefield to cut through a steel girder at the construction site. (Or at least, he will do so once I start posting as him.) As a result, he will be extremely careful not to make his forcefields too small.

 

[Frozen Princess]

Professional, Diplomat

Olivia Nevrakis is a Duchess from Lythikos, Cordonia, a European monarchy bordering France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland. She is also the Cordonian Ambassador.

Her duchy is in the southern part of the country, sharing some of the best skiing in Europe with Switzerland.

She's cordial as long as you're cordial, but comes from a violent breed of people, and she doesn't take crap from anyone. She can be very crass and cold if she needs (or wants) to. Despite all this, she is perhaps the best dignitary Cordonia has despite the country being neutral.

Olivia is a master of several martial arts including Kung Fu, and Judo. She is also the master of hand to hand combat, stilettos (both knives and heels) and something she calls "The Spy Game". Although very knowledgeable with tech, would definitely take the help of someone more tech savvy, or as she would put it, "technogeeky" than herself.

Of all the heroes, she'd probably have the best rapport with Marko for his brains and Su-Ji for her aloofness.

After the meteor of Chelyabinsk, 2013, she developed super strength ala Amazonan; think Wonder Woman, and agility, but unlike Su-Ji, Olivia's abilities in agility are more wolflike. Her super strength would definitely come in handy against Blair. Her crassness may also come in handy against them, due to the fact she wouldn't be afraid to speak her mind.

Had a sense of deja vu with the Westbrook meteor of 2024 (the one that starts our story)

 

[captain_bond]

Professional, USAF Fighter Pilot (Former)

First Lieutenant Scott Swift is the latest in a long line of military pilots. His great-grandfather served in the First World War, flying one of the first warplanes against the Germans, followed by his son, who was a B-17 gunner in the Eighth Air Force. Scott's father, meanwhile, flew F-4 Phantoms over Vietnam, which he only talked about to people "who would fuckin' understand," as the old man had once said. The look of pride in his dad's eyes when he walked across the stage to receive his commission was something Scott would never forget, and the man clearly liked having his own son as one of the people "who would fuckin' understand." Every time Scott was on leave at home, he'd be regaled with his dad's war stories, including a few that beggared belief. One time, Scott called him out on it, and without missing a beat, old Major Alex Swift called up his old wingman AND his old squadron commander, who, sure enough, backed up Alex's story.

It wasn't long before Scott was promoted, but when he'd called his dad to share the news, he was totally unprepared for what his mom had told him. Major Alex Swift, the man who had braved the skies over 'Nam and come back without a scratch (at least on the outside) had been hit by a drunk driver coming back from the bank. The paramedics did all they could, but he'd been pronounced dead at the scene. To say Scott was devastated would be an understatement. His commander was quick to give him some time off, both for the funeral and to grieve, but when he came back his behavior was noticeably different. He took more risks, skirted the boundaries of insubordination more than once, and always had to be first up and first down. With the death of his father, "Hot Dog" was born from the ashes of Scott's grief.

Powers: Super strength, hypersonic flight, impervious to most, if not all forms of damage, heat vision.

 

[MsBloom]

Alexa "Umbra" Moorhead

(This is the updated and current version of Alexa)

Age: 18
Profession: High School Senior
Background: Alex Guthrie was always a talented and bright kid, but after his mother died when they were ten, they had to help their overwhelmed and irritable single father Joe with raising their 16-year-old sister Chloe Rose, who got diagnosed with nonverbal autism while Alex suspects they have a "milder" form of autism, and his 15-year-old brother Edward who has become a very rebellious young man, running away frequently and falling in with the wrong crowd.

Meanwhile, they always felt like there was something missing, but also something that shouldn't be there. For a long time Alex had not had words for it but he had always known that he was not the boy the doctors had said he was when he was born and everyone around him treated him as. He was well into puberty when at 14 he first spoke the words to himself in the mirror: "I am a girl. I have always been a girl."
From that moment he stopped defining himself as a boy, began to dress and act in an increasingly feminine way, starting with bra and panties gradually adding feminine tops and trousers and years later eventually even skirts. The latter lead to her being laughed and mocked. It was while debating an issue they couldn't even remember in the Sunday Assembly of The Westbrook High School Student Senate, they were mocked for wearing a skirt by several supposedly collegiate students before fleeing to melt down in the girls' bathroom. Then the meteorite hit, and its energy gave their rage, isolation and desires new life. It also changed her body from male to female. She stood in front of the mirror watching her facial features soften and felt the bra she had not dared stuff before fill out and she had to reach for her chest to feel her breasts, even take her top off to see them, to believe they were real. She then went into one of the stalls, lifted up the skirt to feel and see if the itching she had felt between her legs meant what she thought it meant and indeed it did. Her penis was gone and replaced with a vagina. At that point she couldn't help but to laugh and cry at the same time. She had never been happier in all her life.

Abilities: Extraordinary parkour and free-running skills as well as knowledge of some martial arts from high school self-defense classes. Shapeshifting to mimic the body and voice of nearly any human form that they have seen before. Shadow form available to transform into at night and in deep shadow. Enhanced night vision, vocal throwing, and muffled noises while in shadow form, as well as the ability to form small projectiles of hardened shadow.

Side Effects: Using shadow form at night leaves Alexa vulnerable to bright lights and loud noises. Creating shadow objects and using her powers for a long time can leave her feeling exhausted. Shape shifting can collapse more easily and bring them back to their default female form (complete with feminine reproductive organs, endocrine system etc.) if faced with anxiety or other stressors, especially if they only casually know the person, or are imitating them from a photograph.

 

[Frozen Princess]

Check top post again, I finally found Ginger's civvy look.

 

[MsBloom]

It is probably the name but I had imagined her a redhead. In fact the image you have used for civilian Windy makes more sense to me as civilian Ginger while at the same time the same switch makes sense for Windy, (IE the image you just added for civilian Ginger makes more sense to me as Civilian Windy).
