Jacobs Ladder:
Jacob's Grandfather was a researcher on the ill-fated Philadelphia Experiment, a project where (during WWII) the Navy tried to conceal a ship from radar by using electromagnetism. Jacobs Grandfather was accidentally exposed to high levels of the powerful electromagnetic fields and became sick. After recovering he discovered an odd side effect to his exposure, he shorted out electronic equipment just by getting near them. He kept this a secret because he just learned his wife was pregnant with their first child and he did not want to be separated from her during her pregnancy. Shortly after his son was born, Jacobs Grandfather grew very ill and died of cancer, but his son (Jacobs Father) had inherited his Gift for shorting out electrical devices, it was not until later in life that he discovered he could also manipulate electricity. When his Wife and he had their first child (Jacob) watched and waited to see if Jacob would have this same gift, and when it did appear he began training his son how to use it. He went to the every best mutant training facility to learn how to control and use his gift for the good oh mankind.
<Paragon After Dark Blog>:
From: Knight Wolf
When I was a kid I read a story about a Dark Knight that, as a child, after watching "The Mask of Zorro" at the Monarch Theater, witnessed the murder of his family. Lucky *******, whereabouts of my family is still unknown.<End Blog Entry>
My Grandfather always called me the Lone Wolf of the family, he said it was because I was such a gifted athlete and did not really understand why no one else could play like I did. The family had me tested to see if maybe I was a mutant, but I wasnt. When I told my teacher my family was gone, he seemed to act as if he expected that, told me the story about how my Grandfather and he thwarted many of the 5th Columns plans back in WW2. I told him I was going to become a Hero when I grew up and call myself The Lone Wolf, he told me that might scare the bad guys and the good guys so I settled for Knight Wolf. I know, not much of a story, but then, Im not much of a Hero. My teacher was killed 6 months after I came to Paragon city, so I continue my study of the Martial Arts on my own, in his honor. In his retirement he was just Coach Ed, but as a Freedom Fighter in the War, he was Primal Escrema. He was the only family I had for 10 years, now I really am the Lone Wolf (But I could not get that registered).

Brief History: Crey industries experiment gone wrong... again...
Name: Black
Server: Virtue
Team: Knights of Paragon
Brief Info: Black's origins are a mystery. He appeared on the hero scene shortly after the Rikti War, accompanied by an even stranger cloaked hero known as Figment. Black is a master swordsman, and has control over darkness, able to use it for anything from offensive force to simple stealth. He also has the power of flight.
Name: Danny Fyre
Server: Virtue
Team: The Alliance
Brief Info: Danny is a younger hero. After years of believing he was a science hero, affected by the bite of a strange creation of Crey scientists, he found out that he is actually a mutant whose powers went dormant after gaining amnesia from a gang attack while he was a child. His powers re-emerged when he was bitten. He has total control over fire, with the ability to control it or create it. He is also slightly stronger than humanly possible, and has the power of flight.
Name: Figment'
Server: Virtue
Team: Knights of Paragon
Brief Info: Figment is practically unknown by the public at large. He (or perhaps it) wears a cloak that completely masks his face in a magical shadow that is only penetrated by his brightly glowing eyes, which change color according to his mood. He is psychic, and has supernatural healing abilities. He also has the power of teleportation, and can handle a sword with admirable skill if required.
Name: Immortal
Server: Virtue
Team: The Brotherhood of Eternal Night
Brief Info: Immortal AKA Draco awoke one night in a cemetary with two bullet wounds in his chest and two very frightened policemen standing before him. After terrorizing a small town for two weeks as a mindless creature of the night, Draco somehow regained his personality from life after being shot. Unable to remember anything other than his name (which he found on his tombstone), Immortal soon discovered he is unbelivably skilled with firearms and modern technology, along with various vampiric powers including super strength and super leaping.
(I have many more heroes, but these are the main ones I created long before the game came out.)
Name: Davis Slate
Science Scrapper. Dark Melee/Regen
Team: n/a
Server: Virtue
Bio: An ex-mercenary vigilante, Davis Slate was arrested and sentenced to life in prison for the murders of several criminals. During the Rikti invasion, the prison was bombed, it's inmates kidnapped by the aliens. In an attempt to create a "double-agent", Davis was infused with Rikti DNA and had Rikti brain graphs attached to his brain and brain stem. However, Davis retained his memory and personality, and was so deemed a failure. Escaping when the ship was attacked by the city's heroes, Davis went back to his "hobby" of crime fighting. Though he was forced to tone down his tatics or face the wrath of the city's heroes. Davis is careful to keep the Rikti brain graphs a secret, especially since he can still "hear" them talking to him.
Name: Thomas Lyle
Natural Blaster, Assault Rifle/Devices
Team: n/a
Server: Virtue
Bio: Lyle has been in the army since he was 16. Never rising in rank, Lyle was the typical army grunt, doing whatever dirty jobs he was ordered to. He lost many friends and one of his eyes to his job. After decades of service, Lyle finally was permitted to resign, settling down in Kings Row, wanting nothing more than to spend what time he had left in peace. As crime in Paragon City rose, Lyle was called back into service, ordered to aid the other heroes. Reluctantly Lyle agreed, partly because he had to and partly because Kings Row had become a cess pool. Grumpy and mean, Lyle only wants to pull Kings Row out of the gutter and leave fighting behind him for good.
Name: Nevur
Magic Controller, Earth Control/Radiation
Team: n/a
Server: Pinnacle (may switch to Virtue)
Bio: Nevur is the typical "nice" hero, always ready to help out. Not much is known about him, since he shrugs off any questions about his origins, saying it's just not that interesting of a story. Nevur DOES have one secret, however. Nevur doesn't really exist. He began as an imaginary friend to a 3 year-old girl named Carly. As Carly grew older, Nevur became more and more real, his appearance and powers manifesting from Carly's desire to be a super hero. When Carly turned 5, Nevur was indistinguishable from a real person. He is always in contact with Carly, often talking to her out loud without thinking about who might be around to hear.
Name: Frankie
Magic Blaster, Fire Control/Fire Manipulation
Team: n/a
Associates: Milla Roh
Server: Virtue
Bio: A renegade group of Circle of Thorns monks attempted to take control of the order. Kidnapping a young girl, Julie Patterson, they sacrificed her, trying to summon an entity that would give them the power they needed. The ceremony worked, bringing forth a creature of living flame. But as soon as it appeared, it dove straight into Julie's corpse. The girl suddenly got up, incinerating the monks around her. Later she showed up at the City Hall, registering to be a hero. The other heroes welcomed her with open arms, seeing someone who wished to exact justice on those who had wronged her. However, they were wrong. Julie Patterson was still quite dead. The entity calling itself Frankie was the sole inhabitant of her body, joining the heroes simply to have access to evil. You see, like all fire, Frankie has an insatiable hunger, and since the evil monks were her first "meal", she has developed a taste for it.
Name: Milla Roh
Mutant Blaster, Ice Control/Ice Manipulation
Team: n/a
Associates: Frankie
Server: Virtue
Bio: Milla Roh was the "nice kid". Incredibly shy, but friendly and kind. She was never popular in school, but things got worse when she started to change. Her skin turned an albino white, and her hair bleached to an almost icy blue color. This brought down all the teasing and cruelty that the school had to offer on her. Milla tried not to let it bother her, eventually making it to her first year of college. Then in the lunchroom, another student physically attacked Milla. Panicking, Milla screamed, and the student stopped. She stood rooted to the spot, dead. Frozen solid from the inside out. Milla was arrested and convicted of involuntary man-slaughter. The judge, not wanting to put an almost innocent girl into a correctional facility, sentenced her to train and fight alongside the city's heroes. She would learn to control her powers and provide community service at the same time. Milla accepted her sentence gladly, hoping to eliviate the guilt she felt from killing the other girl.
Name: Oz (Rosalyn Takanashi)
Mutant Tanker, Super Strength/Invulnerability
Team: n/a
Server: Virtue
Bio: Rosalyn Takanashi weighed 15 pounds when she was born. By the age of 14 she was 6 feet tall. It was obvious that the girl wasn't normal. Her muscles were packed a lot thicker than normal people's, making her strong. Very, very strong. It also made her more resilant, taking and healing from just about anything thrown at her. By the time she was 17, Oz, as she preferred to be called, had already been in trouble with the police several times due to street fighting. Eventually she joined the other heroes of the city. She reasoned that if she became a hero, villians would be trying extra hard to kill her, and that is Oz's idea of fun.
Name: Cerebro Tsunami
Mutation Mind/Rad Controller
Team: N/A
Server: Virtue
Brief History: A new hero in Paragon City. A homeless surfer from the shores of California moved to the PC to make something of himself with his new mind powers giving to him from the radiation of the sun that mutated his cells.
The Law.
Virtue Server
Defender: Force Field/Electrical Blast
Coming from a long line of police officers, Jordan entered the FBI academy, graduating with top honors. He later became a member of the Secret Service before he was approached to become a member of a unique federal task force designed to tackle the rising superpowered menace. A member of the Superpowered Tactical Armored Response Section, and fitted with an advanced battlesuit equipped with force field generation systems and particle accelerators, he and his fellow S.T.A.R.S. team members (along with the S.T.R.I.P.E.S.) engage in special operations tackling some of the toughest menaces in Paragon City.
The Scourge of Evil
Pinnacle Server
Blaster: Assault Rifle/Devices
A sniper shot from the darkness, the staccato roar of high velocity bullets, or the deafening thunder of a shotgun blast. These are the calling cards of the mysterious vigilante known only as the Scourge of Evil.
His identity is shrouded in mystery, rumors of a criminal past - of a torpedo (hitman) betrayed by The Family and the one target they failed to kill - abound, heroes wonder openly if the Scourge is truly on their side, or if he has some darker agenda.
Whatever the reasons of this man, clad in his black suit, fedora, and skull mask, one things is for certain. His name is whispered in fear by the criminal element of Paragon City, as he dispenses justice in a hail of bullets or by the glint of a knife blade in the dark back alleys of Paragon City.
Lady Shalymar - Magic Defender
Powers - Empathy, Psychic Blast
Server - Virtue and Pinnacle
Bio - Princess Shalymar was born the youngest daughter to the high elven king. A devout follower of her goddess, she learned at a young age she had been blessed with the gift of healing. Seeing what had become of the world of man, dwarf and elf broke her heart. It was her hope that in some small way she could help to bring peace back to the lands. Being the youngest daughter and the most loving and spirited, her father worried for her safety and refused to let her leave unescorted.
So with her he sent one of his most loyal and trusted knights to protect his beloved daughter from all harm, as was the knight's sworn duty from the time she was born. Together, the two fought back the evil that threatened to spread across the lands. Though unintentionally, the princess did not make her guard's job any easier. Though her intentions were always pure, trouble certainly had a way of finding her.
But neither could predict the events that brought them to Paragon City. While battling a powerful necromancer whom they later found out had ties to the Circle of Thorns, Shalymar was pulled into this world. Her bodyguard, charged with her protection dove in after her in hopes of saving the fair princess. Until such time as a way can be found home to their own time, the two battle the forces of injustice and the more mundane criminal acts, hoping to bring some order to an otherwise chaotic situation.
Shalymar is a kind and gentle hearted elf and will never refuse aid to those in need. She remains loyal to those she calls friend or companion. Her faithful and loyal elven paladin is her dearest friend, no matter what he might think or what trouble may find them next.
For they werent the only two to travel to Paragon city, there is another who entered the strange magical light, whos personal interest in the fair elven princess has become an obsession
but to what end and for what purpose. Time will only tell.

Server: Justice
Origin: Stormbind (original name unknown) went through a thoretical scientific process to have superhero powers, after having her family killed because of their mob ties. While she is quite happy what she has become, the major drawback of the experiment has been her icy breath; she wears a mask over her face to protect others from the chill which pours out when she opens her mouth.
2. Jaradesse
Empathy/Radiation Mutation Defender
Server: Justice
Origin: Jaradesse was a student at Paragon University, working in the University's Particle Accelerator lab when the Ritiki attacked. While most died in the eruption at the lab, Jaradesse managed to survive, barely, and spent extensive time in the hospital.

She was starting to think about a permanent job as a doctor, but when her eyes slowly began to change, and glow yellow, she hid from the world.
