## Dramatis personae

### Feathers

NAME: Marigold Evergreen
AGE: Teen
SIZE: Short
TYPE: Techie
#### History

A bright and aspiring hero, Feathers was naturally gifted in engineering. With a bright mind and a compassionate heart, Feathers wanted to apply her technological powers to help humanity. Initially, she wanted to do so by developing technology that could benefit those in need, but when her inventions were acquired by the Ultima Group, and privitized, she grew confused on what to do.

When a supervillain attack nearly killed her little brother, she decided to use her tech gifts to become a hero herself, and try to help her community by righting wrongs. Although she is woefully inexperienced and causes some unniecary complications, her bravery and compassion does not go unnoticed and she is quickly scooped up by a talent agent to become a member of L.U.V. (League of Unified Visionaries), a superhero organization based primarily on protecting innocents and performing chariabtle acts, than actively fighting evil. There, she is assigned to be the apprentice and sidekick of Python, a veteran hero.

#### Personality

Feathers is bright-eyed and hopeful, kind-hearted and brave, smart and down-to-earth. Feathers was somewhat extroverted, but tended to her projects for a large portion of her free time. Because of this, Feathers often had a deep-seated loneliness, wanting to have more friends, but also wanting to work on her inventions to potentially help more people. Feathers naturally puts thers ahead of her, to the point where she can be determintial to both herself, and others.

### Python

#### History

Griselda was born into a rich, well-to-do family, where she was given everything she wanted. Everything, except for the love she so desperately craved. Because of this, she grew up stilted, aloof, and outwardly cold, but was a genuinely kind and courageous individual. She would often use her connections to try to make others happier, finding little happiness in little joys. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, she never developed any relationships, despite being well-loved. Her aloof personality kept her distance from everyone who wanted her as a friend, though she still greatly cared for all those who stuck around her.

She developed her powers at a relatively young age when she rushed to save someone from a heavy object, and ever since then, she developed herself into her own superhero. Rock Heart got along well enough with most of her colleagues and was accepted into Miracle Force, where she fought villains alongside some of the most famous and revered heroes of all time, Zara Zinash, 'The Miracle Man'. However, when several civilians ended up dying when she prioritized fighting evil over defending them, believing she could do both, she quit the Miracle Force and instead joined L.U.V.. Her departure was on good terms, and Miracle Man considered her a good friend and ally even then.

Python Heart fit in roughly with the rest of L.U.V., her cold demeanor did not mesh well with the warm personalities of her teammates, but her skills were clearly appreciated. Python became somewhat of the 'muscle' of the group, helping fighting villains and using her incredible strength to lift heavy objects.

#### Personality

Cold, aloof, but well-meaning and kind. She warms over as the story goes along as she acts as a mentor figure to Feathers, Post-Haste, and Ladybug and has natural maternal instincts.

#### Powers, abilities, and weaknesses

* **Focus:** Python, though already superstrong, has the ability to focus, entering a state of calmness tht increases her abilities by drastic amounts, but to much exposure can cause her to enter a mode where she has no restraint.

### Post-Haste

#### History

Post-Haste was a drifter, who survived off her wits, with a little bit of theft thrown in. She thought nothing of stealing food from well-off individuals, and especially from shops, but never stole from poorer individuals, and always took what she needed to survive, almost never something she wanted just cuz'.

Post-Haste was manipulated into joining the Back-Street-Bashers, a group who she thought was largely good, in spite of his sinister name, and once she discovered the truth, she was black-mailed and forced into staying. Once she comes in contact with Feathers, she eventually leaves her group and joins both L.U.V. and Forever Heroic, a small team of reformed villains.

#### Personality

Abandoned as a teenager, Post-Haste was forced to survive on her wits, and her wits alone. She developed a great, cunning intelligence that allowed her to con and scam her way into living a fairly comfortable life, as comfortable as one can live on the streets - that is, rarely hungry and generally with some form of shelter. Although she was rough around the edges, she had a strong moral compass, just with slightly unusual morals, and tried to do good by others. She shared her food with those who needed it more than her, and showed unconditional kindness towards children. As a member of the Bashers, she tried to commit as little acts of violence as possible, and always tried to find non-violent ways to commit their crimes, though sometime didn't succeed. Though she didn't want to admit it, she had deep-seated abandonment issues, which is what caused her to join the Bashers in the first place.

*I'm a lucky girl. I went from having no family, to two families. Most people go from one family, to no families.*

## Other heroes

### L.U.V.

L.U.V. (League of Unified Visionaries) is a superhero organization mostly based off defending and helping civilians, rather than actively combating evil directly. L.U.V. generally dispatches in order to help civilians in times of need, either by actively helping them in disasters, or raising charity for them after the fact. Though their typical M.O. is more peaceful, they still actively repel evil, just not as much as some other organizations.

#### Everyman

NAME: John Richards
AGE: Middle-age
SIZE: Average
TYPE: Other
##### History

**Everyman** was an enigma of a trannormal, as he didn't recognize his power into well into his adulthood. A good man, Everyman was exceptionally good at everything he did, to the point where he gained more enemies than friends. His good-nature and humble spirit however, kept him from flaunting his abilities. At some point in his 30s, he discovered that he had supernatural powers, where if he simply believed he could do something, he could do it, within typical human parameters. It was ruled that he effectively had a fully enhanced version of the Placebo Effect constantly affecting him, which could only rarely be shaken away.

Everyman joined L.U.V. as he felt that it best suited his powers. He rarely fights villains, and typically helps social causes and help civilians in times of crises, such as villain attacks, or disasters.

##### Personality

Everyman is kind and fatherly, treating younger members of L.U.V. as if they were his own children, and treating others as if they were his own siblings. Everyman is soft-spoken, and tries to convey fatherly wisdom in what he tells others, but also has a lighthearted sense of humor.

##### Powers, ability, and weaknesses

* **Placebo:** Everyman is generally good at everything he does thanks to his greatly enhanced placebo affect. This also affects his endurance, as he believes he can overcome any injury or sickness in record time. In terms of superheroics, he acts as a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none, with beyond peak human physical characteristics, but not quite superhero.
* **Nocebo:** As a downside, if the placebo effect is turned against him, he will perform at a much lower rate than a normal human.

## Villains

### Ultima Thule

**Ultima Thule** is a corporation that, on the surface, helps humanity by producing health-care machinery. In actually, they are a corporate business that hires criminals and supervillains to commit atrocities, partly so they can produce more machinery. Feathers first discovered their villainy when they stole and mass-produced one of her inventions, and used it for a profit. It's CEO is Jedediah Jackson.

# Miss Constrictor

**Miss Constrictor** is Python from from another timeline.

*I was given a myriad of names, apparently. Queen Cobra, Anaconda, Homo Serperior - that last one I found quite amusing, but the one I heard the most was...Miss Constrictor*
## History

After an incident in which a great villain threatened to destroy the whole whole, Python reached the limits of her strength through her meditation abilities in order to defeat him. However, as she was not thinking straight, she stayed in the state permanently, wanting to protect the Earth at all cost, even if it began to hurt the very people she swore to protect. As her teammates grew fearful of what they became, they worked together to try to stop her, but in a fit of rage, she killed them all, but not before stealing Feathers' [who she now simply referred to as Flights] tech to make her even more powerful.

Now without anyone to keep her even remotely in line, Constrictor was completely unthethered and quickly rose to become the despot of the entire world. Aliens from far-off galaxies, time-travelers, dimension-hoppers, and even supernatural entities tried to stop her to liberate the Earth, but all fell beneath her mighty foot.

As a teleportation device goes awry for Feathers', she accidentally opens a portal to the timeline where Constrictor rules, leading to a battle between her, and Feathers' humble team.

## Personality

Although she claimed she was doing this to protect Earth, it was merely the last ounce of humanity left in her body before she turned. In actuality, she just wishes for power and others to kneel before her. While Python is steely-eyed and stone-faced, Constrictor is loud, energetic, and always with a sinister smile on her face. A reflection of what Python could've been, Constrictor crushes anyone who refuses to bow to her command.

Growing a sadistic side, she developed a habit of choking or crushing her enemies to death, resulting in her name 'Miss Constrictor'

## Powers

Constrictor has all the same powers as Python - as well as a few that Python never learned, at their full potential at all times. She doesn't require sleep, and hardly needs to eat or drink, she cannot be affected by any disease, nor can she drown. Her skin repairs itself incredibly quickly, and her immune system makes her impervious to any sort of poison. Biologically, she's practically perfect, with journalist referring to her as Homo Serpior. Just by fighting, she generates earthquakes that rock entire cities, and her battle with Python was so destructive, that it would cause irreparable damage to the entire planet, and so they had to instead fight on some far-off alien world. Even heroes like the Miraculous Man could only struggle against her.
