Seth Vimes (Glass)Northside Commercial Precinct Garage Station
(Intellect: 2*)
You intently stare into the college student, trying to seem like you know if he was an accomplice with the dude in the act. Either he's really great at mimicking and hiding his intention, or the more likely situation where he seems like an over stressed and not competent at his job and that he didn't see the act. Sometime later, your patiently staring at your cellphone on some form of social platform and waiting for the police arrive, which they do fifteen minutes later. They talk with the college-student, the dude in a blue collar is face-palming the answers that he provides and has to watch the camera feedback, and then approaches you.
"Greetings Sir, I am here to say that you have information about this corpse for a super and can provide us with your visual information of the event with the corpse?, I can disclose that the camera was EMPed in some fashion and the next moment there was the respective corpse at the moment of death. However we are still working out the details of death as well as I am the current coroner for this section of town, and an forensics pathologists and some PAL officials will be here. Can you disclose the information on what you saw from the moment you saw the corpse. I'm Officer Austin.". You are now being interrogated by a police officer right near a security booth, how will you answer the questions and do you have anything other important to note to mention to him?
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.

Jeremiah Nix (NRDL)Alleyway near Green Rose Apartments
(Body Roll: 7*)"My name's Jeremiah. I don't really need a reward. I wasn't able to save your stuff, and I pretty much got my ass kicked. That man's probably gonna try and break into your building, so you'd best tell somebody about this." you respond too the woman and her response is
"Thanks for your humbleness, even if I insist you have the reward, and I hope you get better at what your doing, I'll be on my way., she leaves and you get back to your apartment, seeing that martial skills were up to par if your going to try and stop and engaging with supers, especially if your one only is a more utility-based super. Being very proficient and training with your baton inside your room, takes a whole on your core and is exhausted trying to make sure you are prepared both offensively and defensively but you will like you got the motions now, feeling pumped you get ready to head out of your apartment room for the Hand's warehouse, but you wonder if you are prepared and need to do something before you head off?. (The next three combat rolls with the Baton gain a +1)

Powers: Empathy Sense (Thinker): By concentrating on a human’s mind, you can see the surface thoughts, their current emotions, and current needs of a human. With physical touch and concentration, you can get the memories of people, things they have attachment too, and even long-term goals and describing characteristic traits that their not even aware of. With more focus you can create a "mind-radar" that tries to search through thoughts of your 3-4m radius, thoughts can go through solid surfaces but you only get the barest hints of what they are thinking.

Zeth ? (Darkwarlock)Eastside Warehouse, Cargo 25
(Presence Roll: 4*)
You discretely inject some Blood Spice body, and yes that feels just as great as before you taken it, your body starts to swell you notice your body feeling a lot more light and this is a heavy painkiller, you performs activities that can break your bones and tear your muscles and you won't feel it until the strong effects of the spice start to succumb. As this is happening, Hilda gets her explosives from Bill, and no one in the store seems to notice you take it. She has two packages of plastic explosives and a detonator for both of them.
"We are going to go to one of their one warehouses, set up these plastics, and than blow them up. I know of a Crimson Cartel warehouse casino game, with some of their "leaders" there, be careful they probably have Uzis and other crazy gear on them. Now you coming?. You leave the thrift store and, and the delicious part of Blood Spice entering your body, you feel the flesh in your shoulder melding and only leaving a bruise, good for taking a bullet. Now do you go with Hilda, or do you something else in mind?

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, Bandaged Shoulder

Elea Maize (Naturegirl1999)Universal Wasteland Hiking
(Presence Roll: 4*)You wait for this weird nuclear wasteland enthusiast get it weird equipment that he got is prepared maybe getting ready for hike in this land where most life finds difficulty, he ends his transaction with a memorable quote, "I'm looking for new people interested in my salvaging missions, so if you know any Aahna, just lets me know through a HoloMail or message", he takes his leave and you get your backpack quickly ready and the lady in the desk responds with
"You seem like an interesting customer, your clothes seem damaged, but just a backpack then?, you get your tough and conditioned backpack, and put your lab coat in there with the Biotech logo and head out, you see the old bearded tall man in some rough survivor style clothing on his FuturePhone, you can inquire about what he was talking about or take your leave.

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.

Ethan Summers (Dustan Hache)Northside Tech Park
(Presence Roll: 3*)
”Her name’s Cassie, And I’m fairly sure you would know about me already if you talk to her regularly. i’m a ex-firefighter, and a good friend of hers. She wants me to talk to you, help get an understanding of what’s going on in your life to make you seem so hostile.”, and the man responds back with
"I don't need your life story Ethan, and quite frankly I have never heard Cassandra mention someone by your name, now let's quickly ask why we need to get in business with Cassandra, why would she ask some friend of hers ask what is going on in with my life and why I am so "hostile". It quite simple really Ethan, Cass owes a lot of money back to me to get into a prestigious corporation-university in this city that involves high-experimental technology that can intentionally insert all the brain functioning of being a surgeon without requiring half the time of investment all due to a very rich Tinker, and could only afford it because of me. If she leaves me, she still owes the amount of money I indebted to her, and it was quite a lot Ethan, around 50k. Now are we done?Age: 21

Subliminal Suggestion (Master): When speaking a suggestion, anyone who hears it feels compelled to do whatever is being suggested unless it would injure them. this includes irrational things such as getting a cup of tea in the middle of an armed standoff.)
Death’s Chill (Striker): When Ethan makes physical contact with a person or object, he can drain the energy out of it, leaving people feeling temporarily lethargic and causing heated objects to cool and even ice over rapidly. the lethargy caused also makes people slightly more susceptible to manipulation, and not just by Ethan.)
