Zeth ? (Darkwarlock)(Presence Roll: 4*)
After being exhausted, you realize your temporal manipulation and trump-based powers have left your DNA being a very beneficial result as many supers that have three abilities are a rare and highly values resource from heroic and villainous organizations. Your trip to the Homeless Camp was a quick one, and even with your ill-groomed personality you still were able to talk to Steve Felin, requesting anything that could be done. He sees you with a fellow-known super among the transient community, Anne. Well, at least you know the rumours that she has a power based on the detection of supers, however you never wondered why she has never left the transient community, but she always act eerily when you ever talked to her.
After an hour-long discussion with Stevie, he says that there is something he and the camp needs help left, a criminal organizations antagonize and abuse the weakless, one such is the Crimson Cartel a superless criminal group that based themselves around fighting the Super menace as they say, easily spotted by their red tattooed sleeves, and the homeless camp is known to harbor a few.. unique supers and not including the leader of the place who is also a super. Stevie, says he knows a super when he sees one and knows of your “secret” addiction, and is willing to provide more of it and some upfront as well about 50$ if you accept the offer of removing some of the thugs off the streets. He says they have warehouse bases around the
Eastside of town. He knows a super in the transient community that can also help you with making this thug group disappear if you are interested.

Assets: -1
Mutability: 3
Powers:
Temporal Displacement (Breaker): With mental concentration you can slow down time around you or manipulate it to go faster, during this event things are about ~25% slower to you and you move faster. This requires concentration, and you don’t know what will happen if you combine it with a Doppelganger and lasts about ~5ish minutes before time slowly alters back and your brain starts to get a ringing sound and hurts. Remember even the air molecules in the atmosphere are slowed down during time manipulation, so it feels like your trying to force yourself through the air and move somewhat slower and it feels difficult to breath.
Time Doppelganger: With the manipulation of at least two minutes you can make a clone of yourselves that follows your mental command almost automatically but there is a time lag, it is a out-of-body experience and hurts your brain a lot, and will deactivate after a minute or so of continued use and your brain will be seriously stressed out after this. The duplicate looks like you but their is like this “time haze” around it and looks like if the person was a 144p version of themselves on youtube.
Power Suck: You can concentrate energy on your hands and with physical contact with another Super you can take a power at random, however this version will be a weakened version of that power based on what it is and last about ~10 minutes before the power starts to fade away
Wounds: Severe Blood Spice Addiction

Elea Maize (Naturegirl1999)(Presence Roll: 1*)
You decide to take the Automated HoverBus to the Northside since it's much faster compared to walking there, thankfully for this month the social services have enacted a month-free usage of them, sadly all bus trips are very compact. After a long-trip and trying to hide the fact that your steps make no noise at all though you get a few stares from passersby, you head to the Biotech Inc. This is when your brain processes and remember why you became an itinerant in the first place, the charges you were sent with the experimentations of illegal parasitic organisms on human test subjects, you were fired and the PR of this corp had a field day with that.
Anyways you head the laboratory plastic-white building where some white collars are communicating with each other in the parking lot, and you come into the building and directly talk to the receptionist, a new hire from your associate experience here. You ask to be let in, and the receptionists checks you up and down, “Wait a second are you Maize?, they said to make sure the restraining injunction that you would never come back here.” She is reaching for the HoloPhone currently.

Powers:
Silent Steps: Elea’s footsteps are silent, no seriously your legs and feet no matter how you hard you try will never make any form of noise, they just can’t make sound vibrations. Can't turn this off currently.
Water Shield: Can take water from nearby and condense it into a liquid to surround her body in water. There is air inside since the water is a circle around her, not like a bubble. This can be activated for an entire hour or so before the brain gets stressed out and deactivates, using this in the middle of lava or poisonous smoke will still make you able to breathe and “move around”, however it seriously hurts your brain and the water shield can protect for so long. The water can also possibly protect against knives and bullets but that is currently untested.

Jeremiah Nix NRDL(Presence Roll: 6*)
You take the Automated HoloBus and thankfully for commuters they have a current month trial where any individual with a registered citizenship can take it. You jump in and find the perfect moment to use your empathy sense, bus drivers are a thing of the past and only the social elite currently have cars that don’t have an AI module that you can drive. However, there were still enough commuters on the trip that you were able to test your powers, but concentrating on so many minds at once was a bit stressful. You got a myriad of normal problems of people thinking if they have enough rent money, if they will get to work on time, and other physiological needs like hunger and whatnot. People didn’t even seem to notice that you were testing your powers and even more you saw an individual questioning if they should come out as a super and join the PAL Recruitment Drive, he was fairly hidden in the back and only wearing his street clothes. Furthermore, wanting to see if you get deeper thoughts by touching him, you patted him on the shoulder and pretty much convinced him that you just accidentally bumped into him. Your mind stresses out, you see a memory of him carrying a nondescript bleeding-out woman and than another moment in which the individual is building some device, some Tinker you wonder but your not sure what it is. However this felt weird and damn well felt like a out-of-body experience as your seeing his memories as if you were him through his own eyes. Your brain stresses back and you turn back to reality. You feel as though you tested your powers effectively and feel… enhanced somehow (+1 XP). You wonder if you could contact that person again.
As you leave back to trip and head to the commercial hub, you get many surface thoughts, many about political and evocative topics about the corporations, people being concerned about the security of themselves and family as super-crime is being on the rise, and other little concerns. In the commercial hub, you know of the many corp-owned shop and sophisticated buildings and that nearly everything is automated. You request from an information kiosk for self-defense equipment and map yourselves to a Warehouse Thrift store that sells all sorts of protective equipment such as pepper sprays, stun guns, and tasers. The gun-trade is currently banned and illegalized in NAC York so sadly there is none you can find on the shops. However you see a collapsible baton for 20$, after tax is automatically calculated by the ShopAI the vendor says. Anything else, or is that all?

Seth Vimes (Glass)(Presence Roll: 6*)
You go to the commercial hub in the
Northside and thankfully don’t have reliance on public transportation as you make your way to your Electric SmartCar even if its compact, modern technology is surely nice since it progressed to a point of universally available self-driving cars and the ability to calculate mapping lanes nearly-flawlessly, and with environmental mandates the reliance on gas-powered cars a decade-long past date, maybe society truly benefited from WW3 to get the access of the innovative technologies Tinkers bring?
The trip to the commercial hub is fast and quick, and you head to the SmartKiosk about some self-defense classes, with the advent of super-based crime there was a mix of them.
ParaArts teaches way of modern-developed techniques of utilizing your own body to fight against others with supers specializing in class that have supers and the powerless based around the modern special forces that have developed countermeasures with capturing and subduing other supers, however they are moderately expensive. Another is called the
Dragon Turtle Martial Center, an organization based around utilizing mixed martials techniques and ones founded throughout the last two millennia even in an evolved world the most traditional of them, and finally one based solely on self-defense referred to them as hybrid fighting systems and eclectic martial arts, that utilizing everything at your disposal including knifes and baton for self-defense based on Systema, however it seems to be one most out there and the least amount of attraction, calling themselves
CQC Adepts. As you are pondering this question, you get both a current call from Natalie from SpaceExio, and see a young woman who heads hurts and almost collapses the second they entered within 10m~ of you and looks at you disturbingly.
Name: Seth Vimes
Age: 20
Appearance: Wiry, about average height, has a perpetual flat expression on his face. Tends to wear muted colors. Seems to fade into the background when there's other people around. Red hair, pale skin, grey eyes. Usually has earbuds in his ears.
Personality: Introverted, helpful, steady
Background: Seth has spent most of his life not being noticed. He'd wander around from place to place, picking up odd jobs for whoever needed stuff done, not drawing much attention to himself. Occasionally, while people were talking about an issue, he'd pipe up with some new perspective, everyone would be startled, think on it, and decide it was helpful, and then forget about him and his contribution within the week. This was fine. If anyone had ever asked his opinion, he'd have given it, but nobody had, and that was ok.

Ethan Summers (Dustan Hache)(Presence Roll: 2*)
You take your FuturePhone and begin a cellphone call with “Cass” as you remember her and thankfully she answers within half a minute, and tells you of the abusive relationship she had with her previous significant others, and now that she gained an apartment of the better part of the metropolis. She says she has no one else to go and that her SO has been stalking her for a couple of days in the past, and you request a meeting and she confirms an appointment at a
Northside Tech Park about 2:00 PM. You aggressive think that maybe this “bad neighbor” and her “ex-SO” must be related somehow and thinking you put 2 and 2 together, and start barking/chastising her about leaving you and that is crazy-ex must be the person who tried to kill you, this led to the end of the phone call. Sadly this is a phone call and you need to actually be in speaking range for your power to work. Now you are in your apartment blank-stared and wondering what to do next, and maybe not making instant assumptions as your first-thought.
