Present day. New York City. A normal day, until the Game Master Struck. Every television, phone, and computer was interrupted and showed a video of him and his Game Arena. From there, he spoke, so that all people could hear.
"Greetings citizens of New York. today, I have decided that the world has become boring, and something needed to happen. Therefore, WELCOME TO THE BROOKLYN ARENAAAA!!!" As he said this all the bridges moving to and from Brooklyn exploded, injuring and killing those riding along the bridges at that unfortunate time, and a huge forcefield went around the whole borough , blocking any outside forces from entering and anyone inside from exiting.
His image appears on the forcefield.
"HA HA HAHHH! That's a good way to wake up this morning! Now, here are the rules."
"1. Whatever I say goes!"
"2. Stay entertaining, and I won't kill all of ya!"
"3. Last, but definitely not least, HAVE FUNNN!!!"
"Now, time for the 1st game! I call it, MONEY GRAB!!! I've split Brooklyn into 6 parts." A map appears on the top of the Forcefield, designating Brooklyn into 6 districts. "They are Bushwick, Flatlands, Gravesend,New Utrecht, Flatbush, and, of course, Brooklyn! Whoevers total account in a district they live in is highest, wins, and gets a bonus! Whoever is last gets, well, you know, BOOM!" "I'll be sending some mooks of my own to spice things up, BUUUT, without further ado, LET'S GAME ONNN!!!" As he says his last word, Lady Liberty bursts into flames, shrouding her into a complete inferno.
The Game Master has struck, and has Brooklyn under his rule. Who Will Save Them. Time to, Roll To Vigilante!!!

Costume:
Name: Jeremy Lane
Gender: Male
Appearance: A red-haired man in his late 20s. His skin is pale, and his eyes are bloodshot and baggy.
Biography: An avid RPG Gamer, he became obsessed with making a "Reality RPG", and he was infected with alien technology. He used his unassuming appearance and alien tech to bring Brooklyn under his complete control.
Alter Ego: The Game Master
Superpower: Has nanites running through his bloodstream, allowing him to make any object he wishes through combination of nanites sweated through his skin. He can also send the nanites out to deconstruct any metallic object, making more nanites, which can make bigger objects. The nanites, when activated, send out a red force beam, pushing anything it touches out of its way and repelling all outside forces.
Costume: Wears a tuxedo with a grinning black mannequin mask decorated with golden sparkling highlights.
Alignment: Villain
Weakness: Nanites affected by strong EMPs and advanced hacking. Has a failsafe to explode when tampered with outside of body, or turn off inside of body. Without nanites, The Game Master is subpar in physical combat.
Name: Johnathan Shipper
Gender: Male
Appearance: A man in his early twenties, wearing a leather jacket, jeans, and fedora. He doesn't have a beard or any signs of a mustache, and on first glance seems a lot younger then he really is. He has a thing for pop culture and videogames, and loves to crack immature jokes on unsuspecting people.
Biography: His life was that of any kid the gym teachers would tag a nerd. He didn't like exercise as a kid, and instead turned to reading. When computers came out, though, he ditched the books and was first in line to buy anything related. He got a Phd in computers, and a Master's degree in robotics. He started as a computer repairman, but would always do other "gigs" with computers as long as someone paid enough. When he got his superpowers, he threw that out of the window, too, and began a full fledged life of crime.
Alter Ego: Dexleris
Superpower: Using the ability to change the words coming out of his mouth into their raw meaning, he can project emotions and feelings into people's minds. A simple word - fear - when transformed will give cause the target to grow unexpectedly afraid. Sentences, like for instance, "You saw your friend talk about you with some guy like you werent even there to him" - when changed - will cause the "memory" of the event to imprint itself in their mind, making them believe it actually happened. No one affected will remember hearing him say his "raw meaning."
Costume: A black robe, sinister black leather gloves, and a polished white mask. The mask is slightly rounded and covers his face. The only distinguishable feature are the two dark pink lenses imbedded in it, and the short line of black dots running down from in between them.
Alignment: Villain
Weakness: if his target sees his face, he will perceive any of the raw meaning to just be a babble of words. He must be able to see a person to be able to use his power on them, or know where they are (if they are behind him). His targets must be within an radius of ten feet of him or his power won't affect them. For every target he chooses to affect in a single use, it is harder and harder to use the power. Any people not designated as targets will hear his power words as gibberish. In a fight he has is easily beatable, and cannot do well at anything that is physically demanding.
Name: Nira.
Gender: Male.
Biography/Appearance: Nira is a Kitsune, Specifically a threetailed one. You wouldn't guess it by his looks, but he is in fact male and he is in fact several hundred years old. He's more or less been living in a park for the past while. He's lived there for centuries. The city just happened to grow around him. Several destroyed construction vehicles later and the humans just made the area a park, although Neri doesn't know that, nor does he care much, never does pay much attention to humans. He's more then a little annoyed by all the noise of late. Explosions and sirens tend to be troublesome when you're trying to nap and he's interested in making everything go back to general quietness. Nira most certainly does not look like a male. Bright orange hair down to his butt, slender, feminine figure, fox ears, and three bushy tails, and appearing to be at most 18 or 19 years of age. His eyes are a fairly vivid purple and he most certainly has a carnivore's fangs. His nails aren't really nails. They're more along the lines of claws. Generally he wears baggy or oversized clothing when humans are around. Easy to magic up something too large. Harder to make something fitting.
Alter Ego: "What's an alter ego?"
Superpower: Nira is a Kitsune. Specifically a threetailed one. And that means a natural grasp of magic on the level that no mortal can match, as well as death really just meaning losing your body temporarily. Easiest way to get a new body is possess someone with a similarish mindset and nudge their mind and body towards your own mind and whatever body you want before merging with them. Can take anywhere from days to months to years depending on the similarity of the mindset. It's definitely a setback but by no means the end. Although by the time he gets a new body, he won't remember the context of the death and won't really care much.
Alignment: Do you really expect a fox to have a moral concept of good and evil?
Weakness: Is a fox. Generally easy to distract and has pretty much no concept of modern day technology. Nira may not forget events, but he tends to forget the context, and therefore the reason he was doing something. Easiest way to get rid of him is just avoid him for a few hours and he'll forget why he was chasing you. His primary goal is to have fun. And fun for a fox usually involves napping, chasing squirrels, and eating birds.

Alignment: Hero, though a bit closer to Neutral, due to her primarily thinking of herself, but also trying to help others.
