Name: Andrew Mason
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Status: Student
Species: Human
Nationality: Caucasian
Appearance: http://imagesheep.com/t1983/819cf18d6a.jpg
Personality: Kind hearted; Knowledgeable; Confident; Pushy
Powers: Andy is able to have visions of past and future events in which he can hear and feel them, both physically and emotionally. These visions are often triggered by the imminence of the event or if he touches an object related to said event. He is also able cause time ripples which allows him to bring events, people or objects through time for limited period of time. This power is widely unpredictable and dangerous because it is unknown what will travel through time. It is assumed that with training and time, he will be able to master this ability.
Because of his visions, Andy is rarely surprised like anyone else. Although he can't control when he gets a vision or what he sees, Andy has said that he can tell when a vision is about to come true because it feels like déjà vu.
Bio: Andrew, or Andy as he likes to be called, led a relatively normal childhood in his first 6 years of life. He had loving parents, lived in a nice home in the downtown area and never had a want for anything because his parents always had money. Then one fateful day when he was 7 years old, a group of mutated criminals, calling themselves the Wolf Pack, attacked.
He was in his bedroom playing with the toys that his parents had just brought home when he heard a lot of screaming outside. Just as he looked out the window to see what the commotion was his parents burst into his room, scooped him up and ran out of the apartment which he saw was on fire. As they got outside, it was utter chaos. There were bodies strewn about all over the ground, people running in all directions, gunshots ringing out, and these horrible looking creatures that were ripping people apart. He was then knocked out of his father's arms when Wolf Pack member attacked his parents, killing them right in front of him.
As he was trying to find a place to hide, two more creatures started to chase him. He was saved by Benjamin, who was just a student at the time; only to be thrown down again as Benjamin got jumped. The hero named Janet then swooped over, saved Benjamin and told him to take Andy to safety.
After the heroes saved the day and Benjamin was promoted to Hero status, he took Andy to a place called Hero High. He was told that people, usually teenagers, came here to learn how to use and control their powers. Not knowing or caring about any of this, Andy kept going over the death of his parents in his head. He wouldn't talk to anyone but Benjamin. When he was asked if he had any other relatives, he said no and it was decided that he would stay at Hero High under the care of Benjamin.
A few days later, Andy had a massive headache and various images flashed in his head. It was like he was quickly surfing through television channels. He saw many different fuzzy scenes until one was clear. But as soon as the image disappeared, he passed out.
When he regained consciousness a few minutes later, there was machine hooked up to his head. Benjamin was right next to him and told him that everything was going to be alright. The hero called Tech then told Ben that Andy was able to see the future but because he was so young, his mind wasn't developed enough to handle the images and that's why he passed out. Ben then asked Janet if she could teach Andy how to handle his powers only to be shot down by the psychic mutant's evil alter ego.
Ben had then decided to take Andy to his parent’s home to see if his father could teach the boy how to get a handle on his newfound ability. While there, he learned all about Morning Star's past involuntarily after touching the man's necklaces. He was so traumatized by what he saw that he wasn't able to go to sleep by himself for the remainder of his stay there. Seeing that they were getting nowhere quickly, Benjamin decided to take Andy back to Hero High.
After the real Janet's original self was restored, she began teaching Andy how to just let the visions come to him so they wouldn't be so painful. That was when he had a vision that the earth was going to be attacked by aliens that wanted nothing more than to see the end of all super powered creatures in the entire universe. He saw all of the creatures that were already destroyed in far away galaxies and he could actually feel their pain to the point where he became sick.
When Benjamin’s best friend, Simon Raynard, heard Andy tell Ben about his vision, he took most of the students to another dimension called the Shadow lands. Ben had decided to take Andy back to his parent’s house to keep the boy out of danger. When the aliens made their attack, the school was decimated due to the vast under population and lack of protection. After moving to a new base, Andy had a vision that he and Janet would be abducted by a group of unknown assailants who wanted him for his power and Janet for her amount of power that she would soon receive. When he was asked by Ben, Janet and Lance when was this supposed to happen, he had no idea.
Later, when Hero High was rebuilt Ben started to gain new powers and spent more time with his father learning how to use them. This gave Andy the chance to spend time with Ben's mother, Jordan Mason. He quickly became attached to her seeing as she treated him like her own child. He also got to spend more time with Janet and Lance. Lance, always the distant one, never said much but Andy liked him anyways. But it was Janet who he felt closest to.
One day, Janet decided to take Andy to a place called the Astral Plane. She said it was nothing more than what every psychic person's mind created it to be. She told him that the reason that she brought him there was because she had a feeling that his power was capable of becoming more than just seeing the future. After he created himself an astral form, (a fully matured version of himself), she told him to focus on the day the Wolf Pack attacked. As he focused on it, she then instructed him to remember every little detail such as; what he was feeling, the time of day, remember any person's face, the temperature, etc.
As he did this, the Astral Plane started to reshape. Andy could hear all of the siren and screams. He could feel the heat of the fire as his parents were carrying him out of the burning apartment. He also felt the exact moment when his parents were killed. The next thing he heard was Janet screaming for him to wake up. As he opened his eyes, Janet was battling the very same Wolf Pack members that had killed his parents. When he realized what was going on, everything had returned to the way it was before he started to remember that saddening day. As they left the Astral Plane, Janet told him that he was more powerful than everyone thought.
When Ms. Mason contracted a mysterious illness and died, Andy was heartbroken again. She was like his second mother. Ben was so angry that he left the school to find out what happened to her. He was left in the care of Janet and Lance. They often took him to see Benjamin's father and the man said that Andy was a small ray of light in this dark time.
It was while Ben was gone with his father that Simon and the rest of the students returned. There was a huge argument amongst the heroes as to let Simon and the other students return to the school. Some said that it was his and the student’s choice whether or not they wanted to stay and defend earth while others said that even though they were not trained for anything like this it was up to the heroes to get them safely to their families. In the end, Simon was put on probation for voluntary kidnapping and wasn't allowed to graduate on time because he left before the school year was over and he wasn't allowed to be nominated to be a new Hero.
Shortly after Ben's return, Morning Star was killed. A few days after that, Andy had a vision about a man surrounded by a pack of grey wolves standing over all of his new family with blood dripping off of his hands. When he informed Ben of this, Lance started to teach Ben how to use magic. As he was learning, so was Andy. He began training more with Janet on how to control his new powers. He came to find out that his powers were considered a form of time manipulation.
A while later, the Hero team got a new member and Ben got a new mate. Katt a welcomed addition to the team and Andy quickly noticed that she and Ben would be together. Their relationship was tested early on by the arrival of a creature name Herakal. He abducted some of the Heroes, including Ben and Katt and left the school defenseless. Andy was not worried, however, because he had vision of said events and knew that the situation would be rectified. When everything was safe, Ben and Katt eventually got married and officially adopted Andy.
Andy then began to be visited by a future version of himself that was exponentially more powerful than what anyone thought a super human could be. His future self frequently took him to the future and whatever it was that they did together, Ben and Katt were never informed of due the fear that it would cause unforeseen problems.
For some unknown reason, the two Andy’s have not been in contact and the present day Andy’s personality has drastically changed. He is more serious at times and has taken on an adult-like maturity level. However, he still loves his parents, extended family of Heroes and enjoys spending time in the Shadow lands with Simon and the friends he’s made there.
Name: Xanatos
Age: 1,519 (Appears 18)
Gender: Male
Status (teacher/student/hero/government official): Teacher
Species: Hybrid (Vampyre/Neko-jin/Angel/Incubus)*
Nationality: American
Appearance: His physical body is honed from years of training. The muscles are lean and joints limber, which allowed for both blinding speed and incredible strength, back when he was human. He has white hair and pure white eyes, along with the pale skin of the undead. Though he had been in many battles in his life, no scars cover his body, as his abilities allowed him to heal without scarring. He is clothed in a white shirt and pants, with a white cloak tied at his neck. He has two beautifully feathered wings sprouting from his back, with a span of 12 feet, where the cloak rests in between the groove of the wings.
Xanatos has a veritable armory of weapons, and when not fulfilling his role as instructor, or when involved in combat training, many of them can be found attached to him. His primary sword, Xion, is strapped to his side, while the scythe called Thirst and his other sword, Xanster, are placed across his back forming an X shape. On the side opposite of Xion is an expertly woven silk pouch. Within the pouch is a number of daggers and a beautifully hand crafted flute, made of ebony, which Xan plays from time to time. Hidden behind his back, underneath the cloak, two customized Desert Eagles that he refers to as X and K.
* Only Xan's Vampyre form and Vampyre abilities will be described in this profile. If a Form Shift occurs it will explained in character.
Personality: Xanatos gives off an impression of quiet order. He is very serious when it comes to the discussion of serious topics, though on lighter subject he is known to give a smirk or even the rare laugh. He makes it known that he is an authority figure, but he does not keep himself so distant that he is unapproachable. He handles his responsibilities as he should, but that which does not concern will usually be left alone by him.
Power(s): Vampyre Traits - Vampyre are perfected forms of the blood drinkers of lore, with all the strengths of their kin and none of their weaknesses. Vampyre are stronger than their kin and can control their thirst for blood. With his training, Xanatos's strength is immense, able to lift objects of incredible weight with ease. His speed, already superhuman before the turn, is almost mind-boggling, making him able to outrace gunfire and dodge lightning.
Form Shift - As the paradoxical hybrid he is, Xanatos is capable of shifting his physical form to match the mixed blood that "flows" in his veins.
Psionics - Xanatos is a powerful psychokinetic and telepath, capable of ripping small mountains from their base with only a moment's concentration and reading the minds of all intelligent creatures on the planet simultaneously, for example. He only rarely uses these abilities, both in and out of combat, however, preferring to fight his foes physically, and knowing how delicate a balance is held between humanity and the relatively new supers appearing in the world.
Energy manipulation (Chi, Elemental, Arcane) - Xanatos has extensive training in controlling various forms of energy, from inner "Chi" energy to elemental and even arcane power. In battle, he most often forms energy into projectiles of varying power, coupling it with close quarters combat. He is able to fly through Chi manipulation, or with his wings, whichever is his preference.
Bio (if applicable): Xanatos was born human with psychic talent. Rather than live with society, he set out to study his mind. He eventually became part of a group of powerful warriors, training with them, fighting against them, even experiencing love and loss. It was during this time that he was transformed into the hybrid he is now. With eternity open to him, and his warrior kin moved on to other pursuits, he took a passive approach to existence. Then he became aware of the various supers manifesting in the world, and of Hero High. All too aware of the dangers of letting youth with power run unsupervised, the hybrid offered his services to the school on any and all subjects he could.
