Story Collector
Name: Venus Votticelli
Alias: Griffonage
Media Titles: Science-miss, The Paint Hero
Gender: Female (she/her)
Age: 16
Height: 5'5" (5'6" in costume)
Hair Color: Reddish-Brown (oil-slick black in costume)
Eye Color: Brown
Powers: Venus can manipulate the chemicals and associated reactions occurring within her body. She can fabricate or suppress naturally occurring chemicals like adrenaline and dopamine, and speed, slow, or stop reactions as they occur. For more complex effects and chemicals that aren’t naturally occurring, she relies on her knowledge of chemistry to craft chemical blends she can then ingest.
Once an external chemical enters her body she has full control over it. As such, she is immune to most poisons, diseases, and bacteria. Her body tends to default to canceling out anything external unless she makes an effort to allow it to happen, and returns to baseline functioning over time.
As a side effect of her powers, Venus has a fondness for the taste of chemicals, and a form of limited synesthesia that allows her to connect colors with tastes. She likes bright colors the best, and muddy ones the least. Naturally, she’s a big fan of color coding and tends to run a bit wild with highlighters whenever she has the chance.
- Grappling Hook - every hero needs one! A length of sturdy wire and a vicious steel hook allow Griffonage to get onto rooftops in a matter of seconds, and aid in her swift journeying across the city. It’s amazing what one can find in one’s attic, isn’t it?
- Mask - a domino mask over her eyes and a respirator over the lower half of her face help to conceal Griffonage’s secret identity. The respirator is easily detachable so that she can chug a potion on the go.
- Hydrophobic Clothing - the thick cloth of Griffonage’s shirt and pants is coated in wax on the outside, for easier cleanup after slinging paint around on her missions.
- Chemical Blends:
- Foam Balloons - water balloons filled with a chemical blend that expands into a big cloud of purple foam upon impact. The foam is soft and pliant for a few moments before hardening into a dense, somewhat brittle shell. Tastes like grape-flavored cough medicine.
- Hair Coating - a slippery black salve that bonds with hair much like conditioner. Used to disguise her hair color and discourage hair-grabbing. Stings a lot when contacting (other people’s) bare skin, and tends to drip.
- Neutralizing Dust - gray powder kept in a pouch at her waist. Can be sprinkled onto any of the chemical blends to cancel them out/speed their deterioration.
- Slingshot - a wooden slingshot with a sturdy rubber band that allows her to launch foam balloons from a distance.
TRANSFORMER
Name: Octavia Piper
Alias: Transformer

Eye Color: Grayish. Blue-ish? Grayish-blueish.
Powers
Tavy can manipulate the shape of metal, whether that's sharpening it to an edge, flattening it to a disc, drawing it into a wire, or squishing it into some bizarre avant-garde desk sculpture. She can manipulate the shape of any metal she comes into contact with, though alloys are more difficult for her than pure elemental metals. The more complex the alloy, the more difficult it is for her to reshape. Tavy does need to be in close contact with at least part of the metal to reshape it - her powers work through paint or tarnish, but not across a room. The changes are permanent once set. She cannot change the properties of the metal - iron will always be iron and have its own properties, steel will always be steel and have the properties of steel. Her ability seems to work through the malleability and ductility properties inherent in all metals.
As a small child, Tavy originally thought she was psychic, because her first introduction to her powers came through imitating the Psychic Showdown arc of her favorite cartoon. Bending spoons turned out to be easy! Unfortunately, Tavy never got the hang of telepathy or telekinesis or any of the other psychic powers she was supposed to have.
Equipment
Aluminum foil - a full roll in a box, good for detail work or any sudden baking needs.
Copper pipe - hollow, probably a leftover from a plumbing project somewhere. Surprisingly conductive!
Steel-toed boots - OSHA certified safety!
Silver barette or silver hair ornaments - stylish and functional!
Gold pocketwatch on a gold chain - it doesn't work.
Platinum charm bracelet - a gift, with a charm for every year. Don't lose it.
Iron mask - wrought filigree, a dark delicate face-obscuring lace.

Name:
Chio Lynnwood
Alias:
Entwine
Media Title:
Silk, Weaver, Entwine
Gender:
Female (she/her)
Age:
16
Height:
5’10”
Eye Color:
Reddish green
As in the left is red and the right green
Hair Color:
Golden blonde with a brush of red.
Hair is straight and a little past her shoulders when down, often tied with a long ribbon.
Powers:
Chio is able to manipulate cloth so long as she is making physical contact with any piece of the weave. She can move any cloth under her influence as easily as one might their own hand as well as influence how rigid or slack cloth might be to soften an incoming blow or slip a band of cloth through a thin opening. For fine control she needs to focus, doubly so if she needs to use her cloth to do something she does not have a direct line of sight on. She can dully get a sense of what her cloth is touching, though it’s often a bit like trying to understand the shape of something using only the back of one’s hand. If using a bulk amount of cloth Chio isn’t able to do highly complicated movements.
Equipment:
Long ribbons she keeps wrapped around her arms and legs for use in quick attacks, she also keeps one wrapped around her waist as well as one in her hair.
Her outfit usually consists of a dress with some embellishing frills along with knee high stockings, anything that could give her plenty of cloth to use if need be.

Active member
Name: Erin Mercury
Alias: Fortuna
Media Titles: Soup Slinger, Bat Girl
Gender: Female (she/her)
Age: 16
Height: 5'7"
Hair Color: Erin has naturally straight hair that she curls and dyes blonde (although the black roots have grown out quite a bit). For heroing purposes, she straightens her hair as best she can with as little effort as possible (usually by dunking her head in a bucket of water).
Eye Color: Green
Powers: Erin has an internal stockpile of luck that she uses to fuel various abilities, primarily using it to make herself more lucky in various ways. These can include dodging incoming attacks, landing difficult hits, and generally doing things that are tricky for the average person to do. The only caveat is that the more impossible a feat is, the more luck it drains. However, she can manifest minor impossibilities freely, such as flipping a coin and having it land on the same side repeatedly or always managing to throw trash into a can on the first try.
She can also teleport at will, drawing on her luck reserves in accordance with the distance and visibility of the space. She usually ends up where she wants, although that only works when she's awake. Erin almost never wakes up in her own bed, instead teleporting to a random location upon waking. This teleportation doesn't drain luck, but the emptier her luck stockpile when she falls asleep, the further away she wakes up and the more difficult it is to get back.
Everyone person's luck stockpile naturally replenishes over time, except for Erin's. The only way she can add luck to her stockpile is to take it from others, from at most a few feet away. She never takes luck from those who can't spare it, and tries to give some of her own to people who need it.

Trivia:
- Baseball Bat: Wooden and durable, ready to go to work. If it breaks or she loses it, Erin has a knack for finding another one or something close enough to it. She also is usually able to find objects to hit towards her targets (usually soup cans when dealing with gas station robberies).
- Visor: Keeps stuff out of her eyes and slightly obscures her face, meaning her powers don't have to work as hard.
Trivia:
- She is a Scorpio, and her birthday is on Halloween.
- Erin tries to sleep as little as possible in order to minimize her unwitting teleportation. This has resulted in a caffeine habit that means she's never far from a cup of coffee.
- Fortuna doesn't wear a mask, instead relying on her power to innately obscure her face in any pictures through natural phenomena. When she's not in costume, she tends to put a lot of effort into her makeup and hair, meaning that if anyone had seen Fortuna's face before and then met Erin, they'd have no idea they were the same person.
