Full Name: Annalise Holt
Nickname(s): Anne
Role: Thief
Alias: Lady Luck
Age: twenty-four
Gender: female, she/her
Abilities: Unnaturally good luck; her "power" is just her ability to make herself crazy lucky. She can use this power to ensure that she arrives at the perfect time to rob somewhere like a museum or bank, or that the security guard trips at just the right time, or to win money at casinos. Her power can't cause anything to happen that wouldn't happen naturally (like she can't make people forget their skills if they know karate or anything, or convince them to give her something if they never would) but it is extremely useful in dodging attacks or stealing from people.
Appearance:
Body— Annalise stands at 5' 7", being taller than average for a woman, though the heels and platforms she loves make her a bit taller. She has lean muscle, built like a gymnast, and can do gymnastics. She is quite flexible and agile. Annalise is fairly lithe, with graceful movements, able to be nearly silent when needed. She has a faint smattering of freckles on her shoulders, nose, and cheeks. She has fair skin with naturally rosy cheeks.
Face— The face of an ice queen. She has cold, light gray-blue eyes and a glare that feels a knife pressing into your skin. Despite her constantly slightly flushed cheeks, she looks like she could freeze you with one glance. She has a straight nose and usually wears clear gloss on her relatively thin lips. Could be considered pretty if one looks past the sheer intimidation and rbf. She has an oval face shape.
Hair— Annalise has long, strawberry blonde hair that falls halfway down her back in soft waves. It's naturally a little wavy, but she puts care into looking nice most days and making the waves look pretty. She has light layers in her hair so that the front strands tend to frame her face a bit.
Clothes— She tends to go all out for her costume with the typical black skin-tight getup. Her costume is a black jumpsuit that has spaghetti strap sleeves and a black belt. She wears a black fishnet shirt underneath the top part of the jumpsuit, which by her luck never gets caught on anything despite being a bit impractical. She also pairs this with some black platform boots (these platforms are low enough for her to be able to move around in) and ties up her hair into a ponytail. She also wears a black mask over the top half of her face. For normal wear, she tends to dress stylishly, with lots of black and lots of platform or high-heeled boots. Annalise looks a bit like a fashionista who never quite got out of her emo phase.
Extra— She is always wearing winged eyeliner, though sometimes she is more fancy with it and does cool designs. She also has three ear piercings on each ear.
Personality: Her personality changes slightly depending on who she's talking to, but usually she is teasing and flirty. She will mock her opponents relentlessly, liking to make people angry. To potential allies, she is slightly more serious and cold until she feels in control of the situation. Annalise can also be quite sarcastic. Her moods can change quickly, being quite mercurial in temper and occasionally volatile. She gets frustrated and angry easily, though she is good at hiding it until she's alone. Excellent liar and actress. Half of the words out of her mouth are lies. She's skeptical and distrusting of most people, and generally doesn't like people much anyway. Most of her teasing or flirting is to get a reaction of people because she finds it funny.
Strengths: Lying, sneaking, being nearly silent, gymnastics, hand-to-hand combat, fashion.
Weaknesses: Impatient, quick to anger or be frustrated, very slow to trust and skeptical of everything, a bit of a narcissist.
Likes: Gynmastics, stealing, winning, gambling (shocker-she always wins), watching dramas on Netflix and getting very into them, smoothies.
Dislikes: Losing, people calling her out or calling her bluff, people who don't respond to her teasing, overly earnest people, bad fashion choices.
Backstory: Annalise was raised by a single mother, her father having left them when she was only two years old due to her mother's narcissism and manipulative nature. Younger Annalise idolized her, wanting to be just like her when she got older. However, things got really bad for them when her mother was fired from her job. Luckily (lol get it), Annalise's newly manifesting ability would come in handy for them. It started out with a couple of candy bars and sandwich ingredients so they would have something to eat, but eventually they began to rely on Annalise's thieving skills and luck. Soon, Annalise began to get better and better at cat burglary and thieving in general, being the sole provider of the family. As she got older, she began to see the bad in her mother, not wanting anything to do with her the moment she started to see who her mother truly was, vanishing overnight without a trace. People looked for her, but they never found her. Annalise tried to get by on her own without thieving at first, but she had never been good at any school subject and she missed the luxury that thieving gave her. She started to steal, little by little, until she'd saved up enough to really escape. But by that time, she realized how corrupt things were and decided that her lifestyle wasn't any worse than many other people's, especially if she did things Robin Hood style. At first she actually did do that, but as she got better at stealing, she became addicted to it, craving the high that came from thievery, the more expensive and well-guarded the item the better. She forgot her original goals and started living just for thrills. Which she does now. Annalise doesn't do anything for other people unless they pay her handsomely, though sometimes just the challenge is payoff enough for her. She is really hard to predict and sort of just does her own thing, so she would have to be convinced to do anything for someone else's gain.
Other:
-she's bisexual asf
-she owns a lot of jewelry, especially diamonds
-her birth name is actually Lucy Finch, but she changed it as soon as she could with forged papers to avoid the police looking for her (since she was only seventeen when she ran away)
-she loves seeing herself in the news (though by sheer luck, it's usually only glimpses, nothing recognizable)
Full Name: Marco Torres
Nickname(s): many of his high school friends called him Torres
Role: sidekick
Alias: Hemlock
Age: eighteen
Gender: male, he/him
Abilities: Plant manipulation; he can cause plants to grow or shrink as well as maneuver them. In addition to this, he knows a lot about plants in order to make the best of his ability and has been working on making poisons and antidotes in his free time.
Appearance:
Body— Marco is built like a football player, since he played for his first three years of high school. However, he stopped playing to concentrate on superhero work. He has lots of freckles covering his body, and warm brown skin. Despite his football player build, he has surprisingly nimble fingers. He is also quite tall, standing at 6' 1", so his build might make him slightly intimidating at first glance, though is very much not.
Face— Just by looking at him, you can tell he's kind, with soft dimples when he smiles and a tiny bit of baby fat left in his cheeks. Marco has warm brown eyes and long eyelashes for a guy. He has full lips and a smile that lights up his whole face.
Hair— Marco has a wild mess of chocolate brown curls that never seen to do what he wants them to. He shaved the under part of his hair in an attempt to wrangle it, but he left it long on top because he loves it too much to shave off all of his hair.
Clothes— His costume is still a work in progress, seeing as how he's fresh out of high school and just started working as a sidekick recently. For now, what he wears out for patrol is a plain, fitted white shirt with green pants and standard brown boots that are quite comfortable and easy to move in but plain. He also has a utility belt of sorts that he fills with poisons he's working on. He also wears a green mask to hide his identity. For day to day clothing, Marco generally wears pretty basic clothes like t-shirts and jeans, though sometimes he'll get creative and wear a sweater or collared shirt, or perhaps some more fun, patterned pants.
Extra— A bit of a sneakerhead, so he always has cool shoes.
Personality: Marco is friendly, open, and warm, at first very excited to join the superheroes as a sidekick until he learns the ropes. However, he's beginning to see the corruption and danger that they hide from the public, leading him to become a bit disillusioned. As of right now, he still wants to become a superhero so he can try his best to fix things. He is also trusting and chatty, willing to strike up a conversation with anyone who will give him the time of day. He may be new to the whole scene, and a bit on the gullible side, but Marco isn't stupid. In fact, academically he's quite bright, being really good at chemistry and science in general. He's a little bit of a nerd.
Strengths: Good at chemistry, smart, energetic, trusting, loyal, friendly, charismatic.
Weaknesses: Not the best at actually fighting, gullible, bad at making decisions, poor self esteem, hides his feelings.
Likes: Plants, eating healthy, science, talking (especially about whatever he is particularly interested in), making new friends, learning, reading, video games.
Dislikes: Being played for a fool, ice, people underestimating him, inconsiderate people, slow walkers.
Backstory: Marco is an only child with two parents who care about him very much, and since he has no siblings, he has become quite close with them. When Marco was ten (so eight years ago), a fairly new hero rising in popularity known as Embers saved his father when his dad's office building was attacked by villains. Ever since, Marco has idolized heroes, especially Embers, and has wanted to be one so he can save people as well. Marco's parents aren't exactly strict, but he was raised to be somewhat naive, and his friends in high school ended up teaching him a lot. He didn't even realize he was gay until mid-high school. Of course, as soon as he figured that out, everything seemed to click. He had his first (toxic) relationship in high school and managed to get out before he graduated, though he still sees his manipulative ex in public on occasion. Marco was a good football player, being the running back of his high school's football team until he quit his senior year to pursue heroism further. He was somewhat popular in high school, being well-liked. He liked high school enough, but he was glad to be out of it, and when he discovered that his mentor was going to be none other than Embers, it was one of the best days of his life. He started interning with her with an excited mindset and lots of energy, though the longer he works as a sidekick, the more he's starting to see the corruption in hero society and the bad side of it all. The life that once seemed so perfect is slowly starting to reveal itself to be far more complicated and dark than Marco was expecting, including within his own family.
