The Midas of Minus Temperatures, everything he touches turns to Cold. Thomas Nyman was once a scientist working in the field of cryogenics. However, he was caught up in a malfunction with his equipment and, though he survived (a medical miracle that even the finest doctors in the country could not explain), his body temperature was lowered to such a state that his touch now instantly freezes anything that he comes into contact with, including his wife and children. Unable to lead a normal life and cut off by the company he worked for, he turned to a life of crime, at first to punish his former employers for casting him out and then as a means to fund his own research into reversing his condition.
Maya Madison was once a normal girl. She enjoyed shopping, music, hanging out with her friends, normal stuff. But her life changed irrevocably when she came into contact with the Cosmic Force. Barely anything is known about the Cosmic Force, other than it came into existance alongside The Eldar (the cosmic beings that personify the fundamentals of the universe; life, death, time, space and reality) and it is known by numerous names, such as “The Ancient Sun”, “The Light of The Universe” and the “Corona” (as its brilliant glow reminded people of the sun). Even Maya doesn’t know how she found the Cosmic Force, it is entirely possible that it is somewhat sentient and sought her out, but this raises even more questions (why Maya being the primary one). However, what happened next is even more interesting. Maya fused with the Cosmic Force, becoming a being of pure heat and light. Struggling to retain a physical form that resembled something close to a human body, Maya began to burn. She burnt so fast and so hot that everything around her was incinerated for a radius of 3 miles. This sudden explosion of energy did not go unnoticed. It attracted everyone, The Protectors, Team Supreme, even the Galactic Guard and The Veil of The Eldar. The Veil managed to control the energy of the Cosmic Force around Maya, but it was too late to seperate her from it. Now reduced to little more than a psychic ghost within the corona, everything that was Maya Madison was almost completely wiped out by the immense power that overwhelmed her body, only her mind remained. The Veil fashioned a containment suit to allow Maya to interact with the physical world, whilst also constraining the power of the Cosmic Force, and now Maya wanders the stars, looking for a way to return to normal, knowing that she is just too dangerous to return home otherwise.

“The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion”- Frederick DouglassWhen you find the world so dark, so bereft of hope, so utterly broken, how do you fix it? Can it even be fixed? Would it just be better to burn it all down and start again, like fresh growth after a forest fire. Because the world is worth saving, even if the system isn’t.The world needs heroes, but those who are meant to be our heroes either stand by and do nothing, or actively aid in our oppression. We need a different kind of hero.@Jeimuzu- Cheers dude, glad you like her. I thought I’d pop in a couple of references to the original version, the glasses being one of them.

-Video Game Logic (can regenerate health by eating and drinking, can survive extreme events with minimal damage, able to Save progress and reload after death, can level up by gaining new experiances, can store an infinite amount of items on her person, able to pause time to look through her inventory, can just walk into random strangers houses without anyone questioning her)When Cyber and Vector were hired to do an industrial espionage project by a video game company looking to get the inside scope on a rival’s new product, they were expecting a simple and easy job, no hitches. What they got was a little more than they expected and a lot more than was asked. Somehow, Cyber managed to bring a character from a work in progress game back to reality with him. That character was Sapphire, a cyborg with energy cannons built into her arms. Despite being disorientated by suddenly becoming real, she identified the pair of thieves as hostile and opened fire (as a character from an FPS is wont to do). The duo panicked and Vector teleported them out of there, leaving Sapphire trapped outside her game, in a reality that she was never meant to exist in.
What are Darkbeasts? Well, Darkbeasts are a non-corporial, extra-dimensional essence in their original form. They manifest through extreme negative emotions, in a simular way to how Negadroid’s power source works, they are sustained by feeding on the worst of humanity, be it rage, hatred, depression, greed. This normally wouldn’t be much of a problem, dimensional traversal by non-corporial beings are incredibly rare and most Darkbeasts are too weak to do so. However, some do develop the ability to break this barrier. If they do, they will immediately head for the nearest source of strong negative emotion and attempt to latch on to it. The Darkbeast will then try to form its own corporial body using this new host. Most often this host will be human, though it has been noted (and more commonly as a successful transformation) in other higher intelligence animals such as dogs, cats and monkeys. Depending on their current mental state, a human may be able to repel a Darkbeast (which may explain the higher conversion rate for non-sentient animals), however some may not. Even then, it is very very rare for a human to be fully transformed in a permenant fashion, some may only transform on a trigger or when experiancing strong negative emotions. Then we have the strang case of Alexandria Lloyd (Lexi to her friends). Lexi was attacked by an emergant Darkbeast after she had just lost both her parents in a car accident. Unable to fight back against the parasite, she was fused and became a Darkbeast host. As usual, she was able to regain control of her body, but what was unusual was that the Darkbeast was also able to trigger transformations without needing an emotional opening, able to manifest without warning at any time. Whilst, admittedly, this has come in useful on rare occasions (the Darkbeast is intimidating and dangerous, not a creature that even the most foolhardy mugger would dare tangle with), the Darkbeast also still requires negative emotions to sustain its self and very quickly figured out that the easiest food source was fear, which it could get just by transforming in a crowded public space. As one might guess, this has made Lexi’s life somewhat difficult.
Megumi Kuromoto
In Japanese legend, Oni are wicked humans transformed into demons upon arriving in hell. They form the army of the underworld and deliver punishment to other wicked souls in hell. However, sometimes there are people who do deeds so unspeakable that they are cursed to become Oni in life. And then, there was Daisuke Kuromoto, a man so evil that not only was he cursed to become an Oni, but 12 generations of his direct descendants were also to be afflicted by the same curse. Over the last 300+ years, the curse has weakened, from being a permenant transformation upon reaching the age Daisuke was when he was cursed, to being temporary but eventually becoming permenant over time, but it still remains.Megumi is part of the last generation of Daisuke’s line to be cursed. Being so far removed from the original curse, it is unlikely she will eventually become a full Oni, but she is still cursed. Whenever she feels strong negative emotions she transforms into a large, red skinned, horned demon man that can only think of violence and pain. She’s tried yoga, meditation, hypnosis, anything to keep her emotions in check, but the Oni always finds his way out.
Werewolf Group Behaviour: Generally speaking werewolves are not social creatures, despite being a combination of man and wolf (two highly social species). Often however, this is by choice rather than an natural instinct. They are highly aggressive by nature and often attack anything they sense come into their territory, be it a member of their own kind or prey. In light of this, most people afflicted with Lycanthropy will isolate themselves away from others during a full moon in an attempt to prevent themselves hurting anyone, therefore forcing a solitary lifestyle onto their wolf form. However, it is not unheard of for higher functioning werewolves to seek out other Lycanthropes and form a pack. Sometimes this can happen naturally, say, if a family are all infected, then they will function as a pack when transformed, operating in a simular way to wolves in the wild. However, if a pack is formed unnaturally, through a group of unrelated Lycanthropes coming together in a group, then the pack will behave much more like wolves in captivity. The group will be beset by infighting, with the strongest male and female becoming the dominant/ alpha members of the pack. The alphas will often face challenges by other members of the group, but a strong alpha pair can create a highly dangerous pack, much more violent and unpredictable than a family pack.Melissa Carson was always the queen bee where-ever she went. Prom Queen at high school, star of the cheerleading squad at college, with rich parents, a big house and her little miniature terrier named Lola. And of course, with having everything came the bad attitude, the bitchy brattiness that only the truely spoiled can pull off. So one might expect that her life fell apart when she got bitten by a werewolf right? Well, appart from eating Lola in her first full moon, no, nothing changed. Still queen bitch, she managed to learn to control her transformations remarkably quickly, and though she can not control her wolf instincts fully whilst transformed, she still retains a lot of her human intelligence. It is, of course, possible that she very well could control her instincts, but that she enjoys acting upon them. Her aggressiveness, intelligence and natural drive for influence has allowed her to become the alpha of her pack, a surprising turn of events considering that Melissa is rather small for a werewolf when in wolf form and would not be able to defeat many of the larger females in her pack should any chose to challenge her. She goes out of her way to exert her dominance on her pack even when in human form, which may go some way to explaining why she remains in her position despite her physical weakness.
Brodie Wolfe is a nasty piece of work. He was a thug growing up, spending time in and out of youth detention centres and he hasn’t grown any better as a person as an adult. What he has done though, is become a werewolf. During his most recent stint in prison, he was unlucky enough to not discover that his cellmate was a werewolf until the first full moon. The guards put down his cellmate and had Brodie restrained and in solitary for the rest of his time. Of course, solitary didn’t help his temprement and Brodie underwent some truely monsterous transformations, causing himself significant damage in the process. However, one thing kept him sane, learning how to control himself when transformed. Once he was released, he managed to slip under the radar and start a new life for himself. He found himself a pack and quickly became its alpha, brutally dealing with any who would challenge him, often with fatal consequences for the other wolves in his pack. Local law enforcement blamed his crimes on real wolf attacks and Brodie would become more brazen, eventually even catching the ey of the SRC.
One of Melissa Carson’s old school “friends”, Felicity Mcleod was pretty much just a target for Melissa to take shots at, never cool enough for Melissa to acknowledge any real friendship towards but always kept around so Melissa and her “cool friends” could have someone to look better than. Felicity thought she had escaped when Melissa went away to college, but no, Melissa came back and wanted to reconnect with all her old “friends”. And then Felicity discovered her old “friends” secret, that she was a werewolf and was only reconneting with people she knew so she could make them part of her pack. She saw Melissa transform during the full moon, so Melissa attacked her and bit her (across the back of the neck), to ensure that Felicity couldn’t tell anyone. Now Felicity is pretty much Melissa’s servant, both in the pack and in everyday life. However, Melissa is secretly quite scared of Felicity when she is transformed. Felicity is the largest female in the pack, large enough to even rival Brodie in terms of raw strength. However, Felicity’s subservient behaviour makes it highly unlikely that she will challenge Melissa for title of alpha female.
