Job: Estate Agent
Backstory:
Determined to Atone
Christian made a mistake once, something that’s haunted him for every day of his life since.
Appearance:
On his days not being a Superhero you will find Christian dressed to impress in his tailor made suit, showing prospective buyers around houses. He has short blond hair and is immaculately combed to the right.
He has to mask his appearance when patrolling at night and wears a red mask that covers his eyes and wears black trainers, jeans and a hoodie, that he always keeps up to conceal the rest of his looks.
Chuck will do whatever he think's is right in a situation, judging by his own code of conduct. Chuck has no objection to violence against people he feels are immoral and spends little time worrying about whether his code is right or wrong – it’s the code to live by and that’s all that matters.
A layabout/loser type person, nothing came freely to him
Reece will do whatever it takes to complete the mission, whether it is kidnapping, cold-blooded murder or mass destruction – there is no course of action which is not considered by Reece and carefully weighed to assess maximum advantage.
Anyone associated with supervillains as equally guilty.

He will be the one who runs out and retrieves a fallen comrade, every time.

Chuck aka Bonedido (or BoneyM)
Is a psychotic brawler who likes nothing better than clawing at perps or thwacking em with his enormous boner
Bonedido’s code of conduct:
Chuck has a complete lack of regard for his own safety. However, this behaviour in itself is moderately insane, so he often has to be persuaded by the team not to attack everything head-on.
"Some say that every perp deserves a second chance. I agree, they have as long as it takes for me to get up in their face and protract my claws to plead their case.
The bad guys love to talk. Flapping those lips about what they’ve done or how much pain their gonna put you though. I’m through with that. What I say is “don’t stop clawing until the Perps stop jawing”.
Protect good people from those that would control, enslave, hurt or take advantage of them.
Always do the right thing.....for yourself. Survival is key, a good rep is over rated. Unless your protecting good people then I suppose you had better do the right thing by them.
If you get hit, get up, hit back and move forward. You keep doing that and sooner or later you’ll either end up dead or on top. Whatever happens, if you live life like that then they will never be able to accuse you of being a quitter."
Chuck has a complete lack of regard for his own safety. However, this behaviour in itself is moderately insane, so he often has to be persuaded by the team not to attack everything head-on.
While in combat chuck is totally focused on the combat, and no will in the world would change this.
But try and convince Chuck not to attack head-on and its as if he has no willpower to adhere to this, totally ignoring possible cover.
Always up for Daredevil stunts and seemingly suicide missions, basically he see himself as invincible.
Reece aka Renegado
A Telekinetic gambling arsehole, where life is cheap and there lives are cheaper than his.
Reece will do whatever it takes to complete the mission, whether it is kidnapping, cold-blooded murder or mass destruction – there is no course of action which is not considered by Reece and carefully weighed to assess maximum advantage.
Anyone associated with supervillains as equally guilty.
Reece has been known to leave a civilian to their death in order to pursue a supervillain, so that they can stop their enemy from causing more harm to the general population.
Reece does not play by the rules, he cheats but has no luck.
His Dream came true when the Fire Station Exploded and he somehow blended into the background unseen from those masked vigilantes that took out the mob in there!
