Alias: Gazelle
Real Name: Andrea Gray
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: superspeed
Affiliations: Division-X, Impala
Other Aliases: Impala
Status: active
Bio:
Andrea knew from an early age that she was different from other people, but something told her even as a child to keep it secret. So she only ran at superhuman speed when she was all alone playing in the woods. That is, until her late twenties, when she took on the alias Impala and fought crime with her gift. What she didn’t know was that her little sister Britt had the same power, and that Britt knew Andrea’s secret. Britt finally told Andrea the truth, and threatened to tell the world the true identity of Impala if she didn’t let Britt accompany her on her patrols of the city.
Britt’s blackmail went further when she forced Andrea to give up the Impala mantle and give it to Britt. Andrea then assumed the name Gazelle and the two sisters fought crime together as a high-speed duo. Eventually Andrea’s resentment towards her little sis faded and they formed a tight bond.
But at some point both sisters knew it was time to part ways as crimefighters and go solo. Britt stayed on her own while Andrea joined the city-funded team called Division-X.

Name: The Genie
Genre: Fantasy
Powers/Special Skills: virtually limitless magical ability
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: The Faerie Queen
Other Aliases: Jinn
Status: exists in the Book of Fables
Bio:
The Genie of the Lamp lives, along with all other characters from all fairy tales, in the Book of Fables, a pocket dimension contained inside an actual book. He has existed since time out of mind as a creature who must grant three wishes to each subsequent master who possesses his lamp. For the first few centuries of his existence, the Genie was happy to serve his human masters, often even making suggestions of wishes that he knew would improve their lives. But little by little, the roots of envy began to grow in his heart, watching men and women gain their hearts’ greatest desires while he was no more than a magical slave. He began to take his revenge on humankind by granting wishes with terrible, ironic consequences. He spent many years then as a malevolent jinn, until he finally fell into the hands of Aladdin. In this humble, kind-hearted boy, the evil genie finally saw his chance to rid himself of he shackles of the lamp. He pretended to be his old self, jovial and good, granting Aladdin’s first two wishes with a smile, but all the while he was manipulating the boy into using the third wish to set him free. The scheme worked, and as soon as the Genie was out of his prison, he went on a terrible rampage, decimating villages and lsaughtering hundreds of people until he was finally contained by the dark magic of the Faerie Queen. She used her new found prisoner to gain control of the Book of Fables and rule the world of fairy tales, and then she struck a shady deal with the Genie – if he would break his rule and grant her as many wishes as she pleased, she would one day free him permanently from the lamp. Seeing no other option, and unable to manipulate the Faerie Queen as he had the naive and gullible Aladdin, the Genie agreed to her terms and has been her henchman ever since, dreaming of the day that he can once again roam the world spreading havoc and chaos.

Alias: The Ghost
Real Name: Nathaniel “Gus” Gustavson
Genre: Superhero
Powers/Special Skills: expert aim; uncanny stealth
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: twin revolvers; gas mask
Affiliations: The City Watch
Other Aliases: none
Status: deceased
Bio:
In 1908, Caligo’s first costumed hero, Cavalier, came swashbuckling to the scene, making quite a dent in the crime rate of the growing city. His acts of selfless bravery and daring stunts inspired others to heed the call to fight crime.
One such person was Gus Gustavson. Gus had recently retired as Caligo’s mayor, a position he held for 8 years after two decades as a bounty hunter in the badlands of the unexplored west. During his time in both jobs, he honed his skills with the six shooter and trained himself to be able to move silently and undetected. When reports of the cavalier’s acts began circulating throughout Caligo, Gus saw a chance to keep cleaning the streets of the town, but by his own rules. He fashioned himself a costume, complete with a crude gas mask, holstered his pistols, and hit the streets running as the Ghost. His idea of justice was much more black and white than Cavalier’s, and the two were at odds for several months before they were finally able to come to an agreement that eventually blossomed into a partnership. Soon, they had formed a small band of heroes they called the City Watch. Gus died saving the lives of the entire town from a villain called the Bombardier.

All was normal for Holt until the day he found documentation proving that the head of Brainstorm was also selling the equipment to foreign terrorist sects. Attempting to raise the alarm on the corporation, Holt was gunned down by a hitman known as the Black Bullet in his own lab. But Holt had suspected an attack and had hidden a special technological suit beneath his clothing. Thought to be dead, Holt escaped from the facility with the suit, as well as some extra attachments. He grabbed the corresponding helmet which granted him night vision, as well as the ability to emit high frequency noise and use it for navigation and locating objects in the dark. Also, he had a pair of wings that, when attached to the suit, would allow him to glide through the air for long distances. The suit itself is bulletproof and when programmed to, will blend in completely with its surroundings, making the wearer all but invisible. Now keeping under the roving eye of his former employer, Holt has become Ghost Bat and patrols the streets fighting crime.

Alias: The Ghoul
Real Name: Mickey Monaghan
Genre: Vigilante
Powers/Special Skills: very tough fighter, proficient with firearms
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: 9mm pistols
Affiliations: the Mancini crime family
Other Aliases: “Madman” Monaghan
Status: deceased
Bio:
Mickey was a goon for the Mancini family, a ridiculously powerful crime syndicate in underground Caligo. His main job was roughing up those who wouldn’t pay the Mancinis for “protection”. But when Mickey’s wife gave birth to a little girl, he was suddenly sure that he was through being a thug. He tried to leave the organization straight up, but he was threatened and bullied into staying. So instead, he went to the District Attorney and turned state’s evidence against his employers, for a promise of immunity and a new identity for himself and his family.
That promise was fulfilled, and the Monaghans lived a quiet life in a new town for several years. But the Mancinis found them, and one day Mickey came home from his job at the factory to find his two loves dead. His grief was short-lived, because the murderers were still waiting for him. They beat Mickey within an inch of his life, and then cut up his face until it was a gnarled, meaty mess, and left him to die. But a neighbor heard the commotion and called the police, and Mickey was rushed to the hospital where his life was barely saved. When he awoke, only one thought dominated his mind – revenge. He escaped from the hospital, with bandages still wrapped around his mutilated face, and went on a week long violent rampage against the Mancini mafia, killing dozens of its members until he was finally overcome and gunned down. During this week he would only refer to himself as the Ghoul.

Name: Gideon Grey
Genre: Supervillain
Powers/Special Skills: enhanced strength and durability, able to raise himself from the dead
Special Weapons/Tools/Armor: none
Affiliations: The Lords of London
Other Aliases: none
Status: at large
Bio:
A British Parliament member killed in a protester demonstration, Gideon Grey was brought back to life by the shadowy group known as the Lords of London. Now a prominent member of the chaos-loving club, Gideon is endowed with super strength, stamina, and durability, and the ability to raise himself from the dead if killed. But his many run-ins with death have left his skin grey and his flesh half-rotten. Though technically a zombie, Gideon retains his intelligence, and mannerisms, and does not have the urge to eat living brains, as many other of his undead brothers do. He resents having to live his life out of sight most of the time and is often heard ranting about how restricting the Lords of London’s underground headquarters are.Pictures:
