Dream Weaver

Dream Weaver is an independent Villain from Virginia Beach. Currently, he is active in Wilmington, North Carolina. His past is unknown, but for one reason or another, he is currently working alongside The Doom Disciples.

## Story

"Edward" played a minor role in the story, as Darcy's friend and attempted to "expose" The Vanguard as corrupt at The Proving Grounds by refusing to fight, saying the following:

*"What's the point in it all? My powers don't allow me to compete with even beginner heroes such as The Awe, Ellipses or Phoenix. This is nothing but bloodsports!"*

He has had a fairly mixed reaction from the public, but The Vanguard certainly did *not* go easy on him. Ever since then, they have been hunting "Edward" for escaping police custody and have now linked the two together.

## Costume

Dream Weaver's costume has yet to be revealed.

## Power

Dream Weaver's power is described as *oneirokinesis* or "Dream Manipulation". The specifics of it, however, are unknown. He is believed to possess an eideitic memory.
Vigil

The newest (and youngest) member of The Big Five. She is a "pinup heroine" who makes dozens of TV appearances monthly.

## History

Although Vigil has never written an autobiography, some information has been acquired about her from various sources (of varying degrees of dubiousness). The general consensus is this:

Vigil's powers awakened when she was a teenager and was kidnapped by some sicko. She then proceeded to melt him down to unrecognisable smoulderings and was arrested. Instead of being sent to the rebuilt Alcatraz, she was placed into custody of The Vanguard and became the first Ward to become a member of The Big Five... Or something like that.

## Story

In the *World of Heroes* campaign, Vigil acted as Revenant's mentor after he was released from intensive care following his kidnapping by The Doom Disciples. Through manipulation, she sweet-talked Revenant into talking about his life story while in a public café. She then reprimanded him for sharing the information she asked for in such a place. From there on, she swapped between reprimanding and rewarding him with small tidbits about her life... As far as he knows.

This façade was mostly kept up to reinforce her built-in trust issues and teach the socially awkward Revenant how to be a bit more assertive, along with his stealth and Plasma training.

## Power

Vigil's power is *Plasma Generation*, the rarest of all Energy-based powers. The nickname "Vermilion Flames" comes from the fact her specific plasma is red, like cinnabar and also because it burns at temperatures around 13,000 degrees Celsius at her fingertips (though it cools very rapidly once it leaves her body).
Shifter

***Shifters*** are one of the eleven types of parahumans, classified by the Parahuman Investigations Unit.

## Classification

Shifters are defined as follows, according to the PIU Handbook (1977 Edition):

> "**Shifters** are a sub-category of parahuman that have power sets centred around altering the appearances or forms of themselves and/or others. Not to be confused with **Shapers**, ***Shifters*** are often not limited to alterations that ought to be physically possible."

Bulwark

Credit: Xuexiang Zhang [1]

The defensive force behind The Vanguard, as well as the original "mobile HQ". He has been a member of The Big Five since its founding, but does not do press conferences. All information obtained on him has come from the other members of The Big Five. His personality can best described as a "friendly giant", though when facing villains, he appears to become a merciless war machine... Though maybe that's just for the cameras.

## History

Bulwark grew up in a small town out in West Virginia and lived a fairly uneventful life, being the son of a roofer... Until he Awakened during his service in the Vietnam War. The story goes like this:

The battalion Bulwark was apart of was ambushed and was forced to stand their ground. Soon, ammo ran out and Bulwark panicked. In his own words, "I was out of control; a beast took control over my body. I stood up and screamed with the cry of a Norwegian berserker. My arms turned into guns and my skin to stone. Countless bullets grazed my body as I killed every last one of them." He lost consciousness soon afterwards and was sent to the PIU and was detained for several months, before being used in the newly-created Parahuman Brigade, along with Captain Fission and Dragonfly. The rest... Is history we've all read before.
Bulwark became good friends with the Captain during their service together and, following his release from interment, joined him in The Vanguard, forming the first ever super hero team, *The Big Five*, soon afterwards.

## Power

He has hybrid powers: *Living Fortress* and *Twinpiece Artillery.* The specifics of them go as such:

* Living Fortress: He can turn himself into a stone fortress large enough to fit an army inside. In this form, he can move freely and is fully aware of what is going on in the vicinity, as well as within his walls.
* Twinpiece Artillery: He can turn his arms into large machine guns which don't seem to use any ammo.

Along with his powers, his mutation is that his skin is permanently calcified, giving it the appearance and durability of granite.
The Flame Family

In early 2003, Cheri Ross and Dakota Gage uncovered a parahuman trafficking ring in Russia, with the aid of Russian hero Silver Shadow. Alongside the other prisoners, they found six orphaned children with a strange sun-shaped pattern on various parts of their bodies. When put together, they seemed to form some sort of map, although it was incomplete. The couple brought them back to El Paso for treatment and rehabilitation.

They founded The Flame Family alongside Cheri's father, Papa Flame, who acts as the primary teacher for the children. The best way to describe the organisation is a mixture of a school and an orphanage, where orphaned powereds can go and prepare for life in the real world. Although not explicitly designed to produce "heroes", like the ZPA is, The Flame Family, or officially *The Ross Academy*, has produced several well-known heroes.

The Zarathustra Parahuman Academy, although unaffiliated, offers scholarships to those who graduate from the programme. It's up to the Parahuman in question, however, whether they want to become a hero or not. Papa Flame considers the ZPA's influence "an unfortunate necessity", though chooses not to explain further than that.
Parahuman Retention Center

The Parahuman Retention Center, code-named "Alcatraz II", is a maximum security prison built to house Parahumans in the 1950s during *The Parahuman War* in San Francisco, California. All inmates are forced to wear *Anti-Power Bracelets*, which were created from the aura of a Parahuman with power nullification by The Repoman. The facility houses around five hundred of the world's worst powered criminals, though it can house another two hundred or so.

After the breakout in 1997, the following security measures have been put in place:

* All inmates are subjected to permanent solitary confinement
* Visitors are not allowed under any circumstance
* The PIU has an elite squad of twelve on-site
* The building has been relocated to an undisclosed location
Paladin

Nikolas is one of the few foreign students at the ZPA. He is a bit loud and enjoys making people laugh, even if it's at his expense.

## Power

Nikolas has a form of *photokinesis* (Light Manipulation) that works only in a certain area around him. Fortunately for him, he's immune to his own powers and cannot accidentally blind himself. He can make everything in a small area around himself invisible, bright or change colour. He has no control over darkness.

## Government

### Legislation

Parliament of The Socialist States of America

## Other Information

### Independence declared

6th January, 1954

**The Parahuman Socialist States of America**, also known as **The Revolutionary Parahuman Communes** controlled large areas of land during the 1950s. Communes set in New England, California, New York, Detroit, Seattle, Southern Texas, New Orleans, and Miami operated under an Anarcho-socialist system. Other areas operated autonomously, often in other anarchist systems of self-governance.

Many people from Oregon, the Midwest, Eastern Seaboard, and Deep South resent the PHSA for neglecting their needs during the Civil War.

It is from this flag that the "Vanguard Blue" colour **[#014A7F]**, a symbol representing Parahumans everywhere, came from.

## Key Revolutionaries

The following is a short list of key revolutionaries of the PHSA, as well as their individual bases of operations:

* "Wilder" (Burlington, Vermont)
* "Eckhart" (Seattle, Washington)
* Alejandra "Nova" Marcial Arias (Lando, Texas)
* Darius "Achilles" Troy (Wilmington, NC)
* Michael "Einherjar" Frey † (New York City)
* Elijah "Titan" Jackson † (San Francisco, California), (Later: Tampa, Florida)

## Republican Front

In the early years of The Civil War, the PHSA was in direct conflict with the United Republican States of America (The First Republic). It was in this time, that Georges Frey was captured and executed in Buffalo, New York. There is still a monument standing in the city dedicated to him.

A ceasefire treaty was signed in the summer of 1954, half a year after the start of the Civil War.
Augur

Steven Nordstrum, known professionally as *Augur*, is a teacher at the ZPA and ex-PIU detective. He is very disinterested in teaching and only does the bare minimum that is required of him.

## History

Steven Nordstrum was born in the city of Pocatello, Idaho, though he decided to move out east to Massachusetts and, hopefully, become a police officer. The police decided he would probably be better suited working with the Parahuman Investigations Unit and transferred him there.

He worked with the PIU as a detective through the late 80s and 90s in Worcester, MA, though he quit in 1996, following the *Worcester City Bombings* by The Doom Disciples, resulting in the death of his wife. He independently pursued The Disciples with the help of a young Parahuman and his two friends, from a nearby town.

They eventually traced The Disciples to Boston, where he was severely injured by Vandal. He awakened at the hospital, where he met face-to-face with Captain Fission who invited him to teach at the ZPA for his "heroism". Steven declined, saying that he didn't really want to be a teacher. Captain Fission then told him, "It's the only way you'll avoid jail time for engaging in vigilante justice." He then reluctantly agreed and took on the name "Augur".

## Story

Augur hasn't had much of a presence in the story, though any time there is a crime, he is usually present to do his detectivework.

## Power

Augur's power allows him to sense the Aura inside of others, gauging their power level. In return, he can also sense residual Aura from when Parahumans use their powers, allowing him to get a feel for their powers, even hours after they're long and gone. This allowed him to be an excellent detective in Parahuman crime.
The United Hero Front

The United Hero Front is a "hero team" classified as a Terrorist Organisation by the FBI. They have worked opposed to The Vanguard as private heroes for hire since 2017. In 2020, they were banned from practising and labelled as "Vigilantes" by Vanguard Spokesman Sean "The Awe" O'Hare. The Leader of The UHF, a man who calls himself "Daedalus" declared war on The Vanguard, stating, "The people have the right to save themselves, when the government does not have the guts to take action".

## Modus Operandi

According to its founder, Daedalus, the goal of the UHF is to protect the citizens of The American Agriculture and Industry Community from crime and hero brutality. This rogue organisation declares government-liscensed heroes are akin to "walking time bombs of destruction" and that, without accountability, they cannot be trusted.

The UHF fights crime as vigilantes, as well as committing other crimes such as armed robbery, kidnapping and murder to achieve their goals. Due to the extreme nature of their crimes, the President, Walt Cruz, has labelled them as a "terrorist organisation" and has arrested several internet users on aprocrypha.ru who expressed their support for these vigilantes.

With the election coming up in October, Democratic Candidate Sean O'Hare, also known as *The Awe* professionally, has voiced his concern over this organisation. If he were to be elected, he would do whatever it takes to stomp out this "terrorist scum".

## Members

* Daedalus: A loose cannon who has committed over seventeen armed robberies on Vanguard-owned buildings. He founded the cell under false pretenses, since as we know, the only way to be a hero is through *regulation*.
* The Pharaoh: A HE-Class Parahuman who was broken out of an undisclosed Vanguard Facility by Daedalus some time in 2017. He has been proved to have extremely powerful Augmentation powers.
* Blackout: A villain from the Charlotte are in North Carolina. He was recruited by Daedalus some time in 2017.
* Virus: A HE-Class Parahuman who has similar origins to The Pharaoh, although this one escaped on his own. Has extremely powerful technopathy skills to the point he can "become" any electronic device. The true extents of his powers is undocumented.
Origami

Origami is one of Cheri's friends, along with Darcy and Nancy at the ZPA. She is a quiet girl that likes to read. She knows that she doesn't have the strongest powers in the world, but still tries her best in training.

## History

When Jamie was twelve years old, her older sister Grace was killed by a villain while on duty as a professional hero. Since then, she dedicated her life to tracking him down and getting revenge.

She accepted the letter of recommendation from the ZPA because she knew that they could help her get her wish.

## Season 2

Just before the start of Season 2, Origami is in a rough pinch, tracking down the infamous villain Bos'n, who killed her sister and dozens of other young women. She has ceased contact with the PIU and is presumed to have gone rogue (or been captured).

## Power

Origami's power is complete control over her own body. She can freely manipulate her width, length, viscosity and how her organs work. Some of the main things she uses this for:

* Increasing her adrenaline output in fights
* Lubricating her skin to make herself more slippery
* Flattening her body against walls to become invisible from the side
* Folding her body in weird ways to mess with people
Blackcoil

Travis Nelson is a student at the ZPA and one of the co-creators/artist of the comic series *7734*.

## Story

Travis has a lesser role in the story, being a friend to Hayden and co-creating the comic book series *7734* with his girlfriend, Carly.

After *Season 1*, Travis decided at the last moment to join the PIU instead of The Wards. He was assigned to Los Angelas, alongside Darcy. He was happy enough to see somebody he vaguely knew so he didn't have to make any new friends. They became fairly good friends, close enough that Travis wasn't sure if he really wanted to leave when his time was up. Though, of course, e-mails exist so it's not like he'd never hear from Darcy again. Or at least that's the way he rationalised it.

He moved to San Diego with Carly when her military service was up and they both formed a comic publishing company with their savings called *Brickhouse*. They are doing well for themselves with the business venture.

## Power

Travis' power is called "Obfuscating Tendrils", which allow him to put people in a state of sensory deprivation. It's interesting in the fact that they can also do direct damage and be damaged.

The more tendrils that Blackcoil creates, the more damage it does to his body over time. The first three leave him weak but still functional, while every multiple of three past that cause him increasingly more severe bodily harm to the point that 12+ would probably kill him.

Кафе

**Кафе** — одна из локаций xLand, открывшаяся 8 июля 2021 года.

## Описание

Кафе расположено на Главной площади, напротив Магазина одежды (или левее ЦУМА). Это невысокое квадратное здание со столами находящимися около кафе, а на крыше находится вывеска в виде пончика. В данном кафе 3 стола. С правого бока мы можем заметить кассу и несколько холодильников со вкусностями, а с левого бока можно увидеть саму кухню. Посередине кафе находится круглый стол на котором стоит огромный трехъярусный торт. Также на локации был баг, который по всей видимости разработчики специально не исправляли.

>
>

The Parahuman Brigade is a special operations force within the United States military dedicated to quickly and decisively winning wars. Comprised of around twenty-five S-Class Parahumans, they are feared throughout the world and paraded as heroes back home. Since their creation, they have liberated Vietnam, Korea, China, the Balkans and many other ex-communist countries. Since the September 11 attacks in 2001, their mission has changed to combating terrorism abroad.

The custom of Heroes adopting pseudonyms originates with the nicknames given to the original *Parahuman Brigade*, although they do not continue this practise any longer.

Excalibur

Archer Yoshimoto, known as Excalibur professionally, is a student at the ZPA and descendant of the Japanese villain Shinigami. He is fairly muscular and has choppy black hair. He cannot speak Japanese except for short phrases.

## History

Archer was born to a Cornish mother, Tamsyn Penrose and Japanese father, Akihiro Yoshimoto in Portland, Oregon in 1977. Unbeknownst to him until four months ago, he is a descendant of Eiji Yoshimoto, better known as *Shinigami*, Japan's worst villain in history. He was slain by Archer's father, Akihiro with the very power Eiji gave him: *Summoning*... Only for him to mysteriously come back to life and exact his revenge on the Yoshimoto family.

Archer barely escaped with his life from the encounter with his grandfather and was scarred for life. The Vanguard heard of this incident and took him in for protection. In exchange, he volunteered to join the students at the ZPA while The Vanguard tracked down his grandfather.

#### Pre-Season 2

In early February 1998, Archer tracked down his grandfather, the vile Shinigami and killed him with his own sword. He returned to school a changed man, having seen the destruction of Tokyo firsthand... Though he also knew he had to be there for his new allies, who lost someone close to them in return.

After winning the tournament, Archer decided to use the powers his grandfather gave him in war. He was sent to Afghanistan, where he became known as "ʾAlf Suyuf", *The One Thousand Sword*, or to his American comrades, "The Butcher of Kabul". Archer's power excelled in combat situations... Though it became too much to bear when he was ordered to attack the city of Kabul without warning. Around 10,000 civilians and soldiers alike were killed that day by Archer's volleys.

After that day, he requested to be moved somewhere else. His commander was disappointed at his request, though obliged. In 2002, he was sent to Germany as a peacekeeping officer. There, he met his future wife, Sofia Jonas, a half-English woman from Hamburg. He decided to settle down with her in Hamburg, and started a family with her.

## Costume

Excalibur wears *an Arvwisk Gwer*, "The Green Armour" in Cornish: a suit of emerald-green armour that can never be penetrated. In turn, he can summon the famous sword Excalibur from Arthurian legend, Excalibur, from his Sword Gates. This combination is not just flashy, but extremely effective for one-on-one combat.

## Power

Archer's power is known as *One Thousand Gates*, which can propel weaponry of his choice out of a line of portals. Usually, Archer chooses to go with longswords, if only to look cool. It has immense range and power, devastating all in its path.

Miss Riot

## Bombshell

Nancy is one of the top students and fighters at the ZPA. She comes off as very approachable and friendly. She is Filipino-American and can speak English, Tagalog, and some Cantonese.

## Story

Nancy's role in the story is being one of the main fighters in The Watchdogs. She was the third member, invited by Darcy as a shot in the dark. Nancy doesn't think vigilantes are much different from heroes, so she doesn't mind playing hard and fast with the rules.

After the story, Nancy gets the opportunity to become apart of The Millennium Force, the first super hero team of the 2000s and happily accepts. For branding reasons, she was forced to change her name from *Miss Riot* to *Bombshell*, though she reportedly didn't mind too much.

Her blossoming romance with Darcy was finally acknowledged after working with him in a sting operation in the year 2000, after reminiscing about old times. They soon got married, breaking some sort of "faux pas" within her social circle, though she couldn't care less, and she was too good of a hero to just be dropped from the team.

In late 2004, she unexpectedly went on maternity leave from The Millennium Force. Her teammates are more than happy for both her and Darcy, in spite of people's opnions of her.

## Power

Nancy can explode the oxygen in the in concentrated areas, controlling the size and power of her explosions.
Glowworm

Credit: @phil\_bourassa [1]

A tall, dark skinned young man with strong electric-earth based powers. He enjoys building gadgets in his spare time. He seems to have a natural aptitude for using computers. He is the brother of Sterling Jackson, and the son of Dragonfly, both of whom tragically died at the hand of criminals who were killed before they could be put before a court.

## History

Malik grew up without a father in Medicine Hat, Canada. He's only heard stories about him from his older brother, Sterling. Their relationship was... Rocky, to say the least. Sterling constantly pushed Malik to become stronger, saying that one day they would be like their father and become heroes, though Malik had other plans for his life.

By the time he was nine, his older brother was completely out of his life. He grew much closer to his maternal grandfather who was an engineer. By the time he was twelve, he was already building robots for fighting each other. It wasn't anything special by today's standards, but he made his grandfather very proud.

When he was around fourteen, he was taught about his father, Dragonfly, in school and realised how similar he really was to him. Tall, slim and much smarter than his peers. He felt a need to go out and find his brother, wherever he is in the world.

His searching proved fruitful when he saw him on TV during The Proving Grounds tournament. Inspired by his brother's resolve, he started taking after school classes in judo to prepare him for, maybe one day, teaming up with his brother. After all, he must have powers. Somewhere.

Malik finally got to meet his older brother at the Retribution Night tournament. Sterling told him, "Soon, we can make up the years I was gone for and I can be the big brother you deserve."

He took his brother's death hard, but didn't stop training. Seeing it as carrying on both the legacy of Sterling and their father. The weight of it all was worth the trouble, as soon he developed hybrid powers - electricity and earth. He began working on his Glowworm costume and persona and attended the ZPA Class 1999-2000 (#3). He was the youngest ever attendant at age 17 and graduated from The Wards after only four years.

Nothing can stop Malik from achieving his dreams.

## Story

In Season 2, Malik joined The LA Rangers because he heard that some of Sterling's old friends were in it. He was overjoyed to hear that he was accepted and finally took on the mantle of "Hero".

## Power

Malik can manipulate both electricity and earth, making him a Hybrid-class parahuman. He has great control of his powers, though seems to favour his electric side.
Steve Zapien

## Stephen J. Zapien

**Stephen Jiovanni Zapien** is the President of the United States in 1976. He is a member of **America's Reformed Democratic Party**, formed from the splinters of the original Democratic Party of America. He is the first non-Republican President since Henry A. Wallace (1943–1948), thirty-two years ago, and the first RDP President of the Second Republic.

Elected on his harsh stance on street drugs, he is lambasted by the Republican media that dominates American society, including a (possibly unfounded) adultery scandal in the current year.
The Pharaoh

Not much is known about Tareq Nazari, also known as "The Pharaoh Yahmesu". He is an Egyptian-born American who developed powers sometime in his late teens. From 2010-2017, he was in the custody of The Vanguard for committing an unknown crime. He was broken out of the Parahuman Retention Facility in Harrisonburg, Virginia by the vigilante Daedalus. Together, the two formed the UHF, a terrorist organisation which has been butting heads with The Vanguard for the past couple of years.

## Power

Tareq's power is known as "Augmentation". It allows him to empower one other person (or himself) past their normal physical pique. As shown in the Mecklenburg Heist, it allows him to go toe-to-toe with much stronger foes, or to give his allies the edge they need to win a fight.
World of Heroes Wiki

## Welcome to The Vanguard, Hero!

So, you're the "next generation", huh? You don't look like *hero* material to me, but that's what *Ward* training is for. Oh, you thought the ZPA gave you everything you'll ever need? Sorry, bud, but this is the **real world**. Every day's a battle between life and death when you're dealing with powered criminals! Come on! Show me—Aw come on, Ardent, I was just messing around with the new kid!

Welcome to the *World of Heroes*, the standard setting for the tabletop RPG *Hexagon: Supers*, created by Urban Warlock Games, aka Lucia Chaisson. The basic rules are listed below for free, forever and always. This setting deals with a realistic perspective of a world where superpowered people coexist with normal people, without being too grim to laugh a little.

## RPG Rules

*World of Heroes* uses a custom-made ruleset nicknamed "Hexagon" or "Prism" that uses a scaling dice (1d4-2d6) target number system aimed at a rules-lite narrative style of gaming. The name *Hexagon* comes from the original 6-stat attribute system: *Brawn*, *Agility*, *Fitness*, *Smarts*, *Wits and Charm*. *Charm* has since been split into *Influence* and *Leadership*, and the rules have been modified with a modular design philosophy. All documentation on the Prism system can be found here.

Feel free to use this system for anything you like! I'd love to hear any feedback or stories you have from trying out this system!

Farriana

Young elven woman that arrived to Sharra with the group on the first session - minus some small personal items (a black mirror) lost along the way. She was also kidnapped (along with Greg) and imprisoned in the forest in a cage by some skeletons (a scene that seemed to the Company, as quite out of place, as Greg was a powerful mage). They were both freed from the cage and skeletal incarcerators and continued on their journey. **Farriana** is presently staying at the Shrunken Head tavern in Sharra.

Ralph's Parlor

**Ralph's Parlor** is a barber shop, underground distillery and meeting place for Parahumans, socialists, and the other outcasts of Rain City. Located on the south side of Rain City, it is accessible to both Downtown R.C. and poverty-stricken Southside Blocks. Day and night, people attend the word-of-mouth-only gambling den in the back, where folks mostly play for sport and to meet other like-minded people.

It is also known as a networking centre for Parahuman vigilantes to meet with each other and plan-out their operations. Private rooms are cheap and unmonitored by staff.

All attendees are encouraged to use a pseudonym in the speakeasy's grounds, in order to prevent "unfortunate circumstances".

**Staff:**

* Ralph Limes, Owner
* Larry Boskovich, Barkeeper

**Regular Attendees:**

* Eckhart, Information broker
* Weave, Vigilante
The Millennium Force

A superhero team formed in the year 2000 comprised of the best graduates of the ZPA.

## Members

* The Awe: The leader of The Millennium Force, Sean has calmed down a lot since he attended the ZPA. Much more down to earth and noble, he lead the world into the 2000s without fear, earning both the peoples' and his mentor's respect.
* Bombshell: In spite of her rebranding, Nancy happily takes the title of the team's "Ace". She is controversial and very vocal both in press conferences and on television. Nationwide, for better and for worse, everyone knows her name.
* Amber: The quiet member of the group, Delilah refuses to speak to the press and often speaks disdainfully about them in general. There have been many suitors for her, but she has declined them all, even now that she is soon to be entering her 30s.
* Sentinel: The reconnaissance agent of the group. After learning how to use her powers more effectively in Wards training, Isabel found herself able to fulfill a useful niche in the group, despite not being geared for one-on-many combat, like most of her other teammates are.
* Candace Cross: The least cooperative member of the group, Candace is very headstrong and refuses to take orders unless she was already going to do it anyway. She is constantly at odds with both Sean and the other members of the group, though deep down she really does care for them and only acts the way she does because she *knows* she's right.
* Phoenix: After being outed for being a lesbian in 2002, Dakota was kicked out of The Millennium Force and now is a solo hero in the El Paso area. Even Papa Flame's reputation couldn't keep her on the team, in spite of his efforts. Rumours have it that she may be returning... Some day.
Wormhole

A student at the ZPA. He is quiet and very thin. It is later found out that the reason he is so quiet and weird isn't because he's a creep, but just because of a bad upbringing and social anxiety. He has a smoking habit.

## History

Simon grew up in a Mormon household in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to him, he has eight siblings and he's "the middle child". It is not certain if he's joking or not. Either way, he apparently got kicked out of his house when he was discovered smoking and set-off into the world on his own afterwards.

He made his money as a taxi driver throughout the States before he got a letter of recommendation from the ZPA. Even he is unsure how anybody knew he was really powered.

## Story

In the story, he first served as a probable loose cannon who nobody really trusted, but he later showed his true colours to Hayden, after asking her out to the arcade. Later, they formed a quasi-relationship, though even *he* isn't sure he's really in one.

Over the course of the seven year timeskip, Simon enlisted in The Parahuman Brigade as an engineer. He began building the first ever *combat drones*, with the help of The Repoman. He was stationed in Tehran and is glad he can finally come home. Permanently, this time.

## Costume

Wormhole's costume was specially created to fit his extremely specific criteria: "a nylon full body suit with black and white spots along the legs and torso, which bleed into a yin-yang symbol for the mask." He says he was inspired by Rorschach's mask from the comic book series, *Watchmen*.

This costume is *suspiciously* similar to how The Doom Disciples dress, though his involvement would make no sense if you knew him.

## Power

According to him, he can create an infinite number of portals anywhere he has been, as long as they are on a flat surface. The portals can be opened and closed at will. Said portals lead to his "Warpzone" a strange purely white room filled with every portal he has ever created. To others, the portals seem to be indeterminate black scribbles, but he claims to be able to see out of them (and hear).

He experiences no exhaustion from using his power and uses it very liberally, especially to mess with people.
Sentinel

The word *Sentinel* can refer to a couple of different things in The World of Heroes series:

**Names**

* The Original Sentinel: *Marc Martinez*, a member of The Parahuman Brigade who died of liver cancer in 1983.
* The Second Sentinel: *Isabel Santana*, a graduate of the ZPA who took on the mantle of "Sentinel" in honour of the first who died in the 1980s.
Gregory McBride

**Gregory Adams McBride** was the President of The Reformed National United States of America, a Fascist, Authoritarian regime that was formed from The First American Republic, from 1953-1959.

He is considered personally responsible for all 342,300 deaths during The Parahuman Wars, an armed conflict in "The War on Powereds", by Socialist commentators. He had a statue in Knoxville, Tennessee built in his honour from 1962-2000, when it was toppled by Socialist protesters, ending in the death of twelve of the protesters by police officers. This event was reconciled in 2020 by president Sean O'Hare, who also lifted the ban on Socialism, an ideology commonly associated with Authoritarian regimes in America (despite the RNUSA being staunchly anti-Socialist), in The United States.
Marriage (hooked dagger)

### Effects

On Hit: target takes 5 damage on each subsequent turn from bleeding until healed.

### Cost to sell

The dagger used by an undead flesh golem that tortured Sherif in the dungeons of Sharra. After the golem was defeated, Diranas picked up the blade. Diranas was impressed with the blade's ability to inflict lasting damage and pain and so named it Marriage.

## The Children in the Dungeons

As The Respectable Company was travelling to Snorvugel (or whatever), Didi attempted to Identify one of the "children" we broke out of prison. To calm the "child", Diranas handed the child Marriage.

Later that night, the children ran off into the nearby woods, seemingly shapeshifting into different forms. Marriage was not recovered and has been lost.
