Approved Slate- The Roster


Slate
The Pack



Lapis Lazuli
Executive Director of Crystals
Age: 29

Gender: Female

Abilities: Upon physical contact, Lapis can send signals to someone else’s nervous system that trigger a physical or emotional feeling. It only works on touch, and not from any other distance. The sensation fades after contact is broken for a few seconds. She does not physically alter or actually injure anyone that she touches. It only convinces the brain of whatever sensation she wants them to feel. Some people are more resilient to this than others. She must remain in contact with the target for the effect to last. She can create any sensation she chooses, but typically, she resorts to pure pain.

Proficiencies: Lapis is proficient in the use of small-bladed weapons and handguns. She speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese. She’s experienced with data banks and encryption programs. She’s skilled at breaking into secure systems. She’s incredibly evasive, but not much of an actual fighter.

“What can I say about Sherry? She’s tenacious. She’s a sensual creature if there ever was one. I think she had some kind of tragic event happen to her when she was in foster care, but she doesn’t like to talk about it. Do I know what it was? I do, but I won’t tell you. I won’t violate her trust that way. She’s brilliant, though. Stronger than anyone else I know. I’ve never seen someone hack a database faster in my life. She can get you whatever you need. Medical records, name change documentation, IRS documents… I’ve never asked her for something she hasn’t delivered on.”



Hematite
COO of Crystals
Age: 26

Gender: Male

Abilities: Hemie can turn any he touches into metal. He cannot turn an object larger than a person into metal, and the only organic material he can change is his own body. Previously organic material, such as wood, is susceptible to his touch. The effect only lasts as long as his concentration lasts. All things touched revert to their previous object state when he ceases to pay attention to them.

Proficiencies: Hemie is skilled at creating and implementing improvised weapons. He’s moderately proficient in firearms and was a trained MMA fighter. He’s good with his hands, and some of his skills include woodworking, model building, and other intricate tasks that require careful hands. He’s artistically gifted, and his murals can be found in several places throughout that city, including at the locations for the buildings Crystals operates.

“Raphael is our bruiser. He’s a kind man, really, and sometimes I wonder if he’s suited for this line of work. He’s got street smarts, but he’s not very educated, if you get what I mean. He’s never let it slow him down, though. One of the most creative men I’ve ever known. He does paintings, gorgeous paintings. We always commission him to paint our buildings. I’ve also never seen a more aggressive fighter. When he decides you’re an enemy, he goes for the throat. I trust him, I just worry I’m destroying him.”



Rhodonite
COO of Stonewall Security
Age: 30

Gender: Female

Abilities: Rhody’s powers are entirely internal. She has a healing factor that is nearly instantaneous. She can regenerate minor pieces of her body, such as teeth and fingers, and once even an eye. She is extremely fast, just enough to be considered super-human. Aside from this, she has no other power. All the strength she possesses is her own and comes from hard work. She cannot affect other people at all.

Proficiencies: Rhody is very proficient in the use of bladed weapons, both small and large. Her preferred weapons are a pair of long knives that she dual-wields. She’s a strong fighter and often fights in styles reminiscent of dancing. She speaks Spanish and Filipino. She’s skilled at organization and managing people.

“Ah, Maria. She’s the mother of our Pack. She’s always fussing over everyone, making sure we’ve eaten and rested. If it weren't for her, I don’t think I ever would have established down time. She’s one of the most beautiful souls I’ve ever met. Despite everything that’s happened to her, she’s still devout. She’s Catholic, if you didn’t know. Great at getting to know people and how they work. I don’t know how Stonewall would function without her. She has a presence about her when she wants to. But usually, she’s just Maria.”



Sulphur
CFO of Stonewall Security
Age: 34

Gender: Male

Abilities: Sulphur’s ability is threefold. He produces gases as a natural part of his physiology that are emitted from unique glands on his body. His first gas is a paralytic, and a few seconds of breathing it in will render most normal people paralyzed. Those with faster metabolisms tend to resist this one well. This gas has a diameter of 15 feet before it dissipates. His second gas makes people exhausted, sapping the strength from their bodies until they collapse. This gas is more condensed and has a diameter of 20 feet. His final gas is odorless, colorless, and undetectable, but only has a diameter of 8 feet. It produces a mist that causes people to be more likely to tell him the truth. It leaves them dizzy and tired after use, a sure sign they’d just been subject to it.

Proficiencies: Sulphur is the team’s firearms, weapons, and martial arts specialist. If he doesn’t know how to use a weapon, he will learn how in order to teach it. He speaks Spanish, French, Standard Arabic, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese. He’s experienced with data banks and encryption programs. He’s a gifted accountant, and he’s in charge of Slate’s funding allocation.

“Franklin. He’s my right-hand man. You’ll never meet someone as stoic as he is. It takes a lot to get to him. I’ve never met someone with a more level head. He’s our strategist, our financial officer, and our combat trainer all rolled into one. I suppose it makes sense, the way he is, after Brightheart. No, I won't explain that. You’ll find out eventually. He’s hiding some deep pain, but you’d never know by looking at him. He’s not quick to anger, and he’s not quick to joy either. I don’t know what else I can say about him, other than he’s like my brother.”
