@ShadeStar
This has little forethought, but I really want to try this out.
Basically, a group of close teenage friends with superpowers form a band together with no idea that the others also have superpowers. As the band starts to grow in popularity both in and out of the city gaining fans from all over the place, the group agrees maybe keeping the fact they're in a band only to those in the band. So stage names and looks are born! Strangely all of them also are a part of the same superhero league and fight supervillains in partnered pairs within the metropolis they live in. The one problem with being in a band that's growing in popularity, it's a lot harder to keep your identity secret from everyone. Including the villains that may or may not want you gone.

FINALIZED SHEETS
- @MusicElle-is-a-disaster-child
Name: Olive Bayani
Nicknames: Ollie (the only people who call her Olive are her parents)
Stage Name: Indigo Bay
Hero/Villian Name: Scream Queen
Age: 17
Gender and Pronouns: female; she/her
Sexuality: pan
Role: lead singer
Appearance: Olive has long, straight black hair with an indigo streak. Her eyes are dark brown. Olive is short, standing at 5’ 2”. She likes to wear her hair up in a messy bun or a ponytail a lot. Olive has a medium skin tone and likes to wear dark eyeshadow and nail polish.
Stage Appearance: The same as her normal appearance, except instead of wearing dark makeup, she wears more bright and sparkly makeup. Instead of her regular casual clothes, she wears stuff that Ariana Grande or Kim Petras might wear during a performance (usually brighter colors and lots of two piece sets with a short skirt and crop top).
Usual Clothing Style: She usually wears nineties-looking clothing that she finds at thrift stores. Some of her favorite clothing items are camo pants, tank tops, graphic tees, mom jeans, and plaid skirts or shirts. (Kat from 10 Things I Hate About You is her style icon.)
Hero/Villian Outfit: Her hero outfit is a black skintight bodysuit that has a slight pink gradient and thigh high dark pink boots. She wears a dark pink wig to cover up her real hair (which can be a bit of a challenge sometimes) and a black half mask. She also wears pink fingerless gloves.
Personality: Olive is dramatic and a bit over the top. She can come off as annoying or kind of rude, but she is fiercely protective of and loyal to her friends. She’s sweet at heart, but can be a bit abrasive or sarcastic sometimes (especially when she’s stressed or overwhelmed). She feels like she has to be the best at everything and has some anxiety. She’s disorganized and somewhat rebellious as well. Definitely an extrovert and loves attention.
Powers: She has screams that create sound waves that hurt her opponents and she has the athletic ability of a gymnast.
Family: She has an older brother as well as a mother and father who are rich businesspeople. Her parents are hardly ever home and constantly pressure Olive to be good at everything (but mostly academics), hence her desire to be the best at everything. She wants to impress her parents, but they never seemed to care that much about anything besides academics, so she keeps the band a secret from them. Her brother is in medical school and is uptight and annoying (at least in Olive’s opinion).
Backstory: (Optional) I basically already said it in family hahah.
Name: Zara Miller
Hero/Villian Name: Zamira

Gender and Pronouns: genders work differently for her species (Zelvians, which are basically humanoid aliens) but she generally uses she/her pronouns or occasionally they/them
Sexuality: panromantic asexual
Role: villain

She has a smattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks with a button nose and pink lips. She stands at 5’ 7” and has an hourglass body type.
Stage Appearance:
Usual Clothing Style: Things that help her blend in so mostly jeans, sweaters (when it’s cold), t-shirts, and the occasional skirt or dress.
Hero/Villian Outfit: A blue-green leotard with nearly shoulder length dark blue gloves that end in sort of a diamond shape and thigh high dark blue boots. She is in her true form (looks the same as human except her skin is light blue, she has mermaid-looking ears, and darker blue markings as well as she is actually 6” 6’).
Personality: She is quiet, shy, and artistic in human form but when she’s fighting the good guys she is flirty and basically your femme fatale type. She can get really angry sometimes.
Powers: Shapeshifting (only physically, she doesn’t get anyone’s skills by looking like them) and she can shoot rays of energy with her hands.
Family: none
Backstory: (Optional) She is from a planet in another solar system called Zelvia. She was not really the type of person (well, alien) to fight but her home planet was taken over by another alien race and she was forced to flee.

Facial features: He has a pretty narrow face with a little bit of a long nose.

Backstory: Zarvan and his family are refugees from Iran, they spent about two years out in the wilderness, where Zarvan got his many scars and such. They made it to America, where they had heard there were jobs when he was twelve, but he was shot by a soldier who, for some reason, thought they were soldiers, the shot permanently injured both of his legs so now he has to wear leg braces and even then his legs are still extremely weak.
