Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Superhero Name: Ghoul
Secret Identity: Amy Hart
Age: 23
Job: Butcher, mostly pigs.
Criminal Record: One case of drunken crime spree, including five robberies and drop kicking a police office.
Background history: I'm not. I don't view myself as a superhero. I saw a problem and dealt with it, nothing super about it. As for how I got my superpower, it happen after I became a 'superhero'. I have minor cannibalism and for how I found that out, I'll say child molester and self defense and leave it at that. Anyway, I came across another child molester who had powers and it seem that I wasn't over my issues yet and I killed and ate her. I don't know if  I can gain more powers, but I'm not in a hurry to find out.
Other: My favorite movie is Bambi.

Your criminal record and method of fighting crime prevents you from joining the team and shows it would be better if you were imprisoned. The SWAT teams are outside your door now.

(Sorry, but government policy couldn't accept your character. You can make another one. Also, I may use this character as a minor villain at some point.)

(One case of manslaughter as a child, one drunk mistake with one person injured and one self-confessed murder of a pedophile. I think there been presidents with worse records. But it your game so I'll think about another one. Still think the government would look past that minor(relative) blip. Like every war crime ever on the winning side.)

Yeah, but part of this is good PR. the government wants to look like its embracing superheroes, and endorsing superheroes that are upholding good old American Justice. I explicitly stated that the government wouldn't accept superheroes with criminal records of a felony or higher (Definition of felony is a crime that has a sentence of one year plus).

Hey Persus, how do you like my character?

[Dwarmin]

((@Scap/Yeah, but the presidents at least lied about on the government forms ))

[Persus13]

Hey Persus, how do you like my character?

Dear Joseph Bartley, Thank you for expressing interest in the program. You are a very qualified candidate who is in need of a assistance with building a superhero identity. May we suggest your superhero name be Uncle Sam and if you are accepted in stage 2 of the Application process that you take one of our red, white, and blue superhero uniforms.

[Sirus]

Any issues with my character sheet? I can correct them if needed.

Manslaugher: Waved on being 5 years old(below can't remember the name) Drunk act: six month max due to returned goods and one kick to someone face. Murder: unsolved till Amy opened her mouth in a not open to the public place.

Never read Worm, have you?

Superhero Name: Inquisitor
Secret Identity: Harold Winters
Age: 29
Job: Sales clerk in an office supply store
Criminal Record: None
Background history: Every day he walks to work, he sees the scum of our city. People scoping out cars to steal, littering all over the place and jaywalking. The distant echo of a gunshot and a woman's scream. It's no better when he arrives at work, his coworkers are always late and supplies often go 'missing'. It makes him sick. So at night and during the weekends he dons his jackboots, overcoat and mask and becomes Inquisitor. Always unexpected, he stops the criminals right in their heretical tracks, all in the name of the highest order in our universe, The Law.
Other: Harold believes in the absolute word of The Law (not the confused with t law, lowercase, which is also corrupt.).


((May rewrite the name/backstory if the superpower doesn't fit the character))

Superhero Name: Subject-206
Secret Identity: Zoey Bradley
Age: 24
Job: Waitress
Criminal Record: None yet.
Background history: Because. Letting the police handle it seem inefficient and I had the power to help. My power was from a 'clinical trial', the one that turn out to be a terrorist cell testing a bioweapon. My superhero name is was I was listed as on the terrorist records. three hundred in the trial, 270 died, 26 still in comas, 4 'normal'. My powers appear after you guys left.
Other: Probable, I just can't think of anything at the moment.

Superhero Name: Well, haven't actually thought of one yet, considering I haven't had need of one.. (Depends on power)
Secret Identity: Jonathan Blake
Age:  21
Job: Taxi driver
Criminal Record: None
Background history: It's not very exciting.  Most heroes they have interesting backgrounds, or traumatic experiences that made them become who they are.  Me, I had an average life.  I was the youngest of three siblings: Me, Violet and Kyle.  We lived a happy, normal life in a small town in Southern England.  My father was a teacher in the local school, while my mother was a part-time writer.  I grew up there, lived a normal life, the moved out as people do.  I moved to the city to try and get a good job there, ended up working as a taxi driver.  Don't get me wrong, I like my job.  You get to meet all sorts of people. 
I became... who I am now after the bombings.  You may have seen it on the news, the terrorist attack in the city...  a lot of people died that day.  Me, I was one of the lucky ones, only caught the edge of the blast.  It was still enough to wreck my taxi and send me crashing through a local book store though.  When I came to, I found... Well, you can guess what I found.  Anyway, after that I carried on as normal, kept up my job.  That's until I saw this website, and though that maybe I can do some good.
Other: Err..... I'm allergic to nuts?

Worm?

EDIT: Now I think I've found what you are talking about. Does something similar happen in the web series?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Web fiction. It's set in a superhero universe where...you know, I'll just link you to it. It's pretty long. Which reminds me, there's a new update today.

[Harry Baldman]

Worm?

He probably means that it's not really all that important that the heroes actually are good, have not committed felonies and stand for truth, justice and the American way. That's exactly what the secrecy of a hero's identity (assuming they haven't had it before becoming a hero) conceals. What matters is that their new identity, that of the hero, seems immaculate to the public at large.

Yeah, but Scapheap's character killed a child molester while fighting  crime. And if an investigative journalist finds dirt on a hero, it could destroy the program.

Superhero Name: The Sockman

Secret Identity: Joseph Whisper

Age: 23

Job: Odd-Jobs for money

Criminal Record: Terrorism in his home country.

Background history: While considered a Terrorist in his home country. Others would deem him not to be. Supporting a communist uprising to the fascist government had gotten him labeled a Terrorist. He had aided and fought alongside the group of rebels, or freedom fighters as they called themselves. Young and eager to help free his country from the totalitarian regime, he had managed to help the rebels succeed in overthrowing the government. For a while there was celebration. Then the communist leader turned back to totalitarianism. All the freedoms promised, shattered. Joseph was labeled a terrorist still. He was forced to flea his country in the end.

Other: Raised, to what he believes, as a true communist. He would fight for those being treated unfairly. To him, people needed to help people. Not to use them. He also wears sock puppets on his hands for unknown reasons.
