Responsibility: As part of the staff at the Vanguard Academy.



Background: Born in Los Angeles, California to parents who worked their way through medical school to become the best cardiothoracic and neonatal surgeons in the country, Megan Bristol’s manifesting the ability to noticeably see-through matter was viewed as an embarrassing problem which they solved by sending her to the Vanguard Academy so she could “be fixed”.

Feeling abandoned by her parents, Megan had trouble adjusting to the new environment and it wasn’t until the end of her first year that she had finally come to terms with her situation and began to make friends amongst her classmates. By the time Megan graduated she went right into medical school knowing that her power had no real use as a superhero and so, she did not apply to take the Senior Exam.

After finishing medical school and her residency, Megan was contacted by Clay Toric with an offer of the position of School Doctor at the Vanguard Academy. Intrigued by the idea, and very interested in the fact that Toric’s offered included the Academy entirely paying off her debts to medical school, Megan signed a contract to work for the Academy for three years starting at the beginning of this academic year.

Real Name: Winston Baroski
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 174 lbs
Hair: Dark Blonde
Eye Color: Hazel


Complications:
Motivation ~Doing Good: Winston wants to help people.

Prejudice: Alpha.

Relationships: The other members of the school staff, and the attending students.

Responsibility: As part of the staff at the Vanguard Academy.


Background: Winston Baroski was one of the youngest criminal profiles hired by C.A.S.T.L.E. despite his having problems with the more physical requirements that were the then time standard for applicants; he would ultimately be granted waivers for those requirements by Tobias Bishop himself because Baroski had received doctorates in both psychology and sociology by the age of twenty-one from Yale University and had demonstrated a natural aptitude for the field of work.

During the course of his time in C.A.S.T.L.E., Baroski became associated with Clay Toric, and he impressed the older agent with his skills so much that Toric requested Baroski be permanently assigned to his unit. When Clay retired from C.A.S.T.L.E. to become the Headmaster of the Vanguard Academy the pair kept in contact and when the school was in need of a new councilor Clay wasted no time in calling upon Baroski to take the position; his reason was two-fold – one, Baroski could do the work the job called for, but more importantly he would be able to pick out which students displayed the potential for becoming super villains at a time that something could be done about it to turn them away from that path.

For his part, Baroski recognized the challenges the job presented and did not hesitate to accept the offer. Since that time he has done his job very well and even helped to recruit a second councilor that he had befriended while at Yale with and had kept in contact with since graduating.

That's quite a pistol C.A.S.T.L.E. gives out! Makes me wonder what its heavier weapons look like.

Real Name: Clay Toric
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 166 lbs
Hair: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Brown


Complications:
Collector: Clay enjoys acquiring objects that pertain to the world of superheroes, and has built an impressive collection over the years.

Motivation ~A Better World: Clay wants to make the world a better place, for both humans and Alphas.

Responsibility: He is the Headmaster of the Vanguard Academy, he is protective of all the students and staff.

Secret(s): He has a few skeletons in his closet.


Background: Recruited into C.A.S.T.L.E. out of law school, Clay Toric spent years working in numerous positions within that agency until he was selected by Director Bishop to work as his "eyes and hands in the field". When the Vanguard Academy needed to replace the position of Headmaster Clay was asked directly by Bishop to apply. The only requirement was that he had to retire from C.A.S.T.L.E.

It was a difficult decision for him to make, but Clay saw how the Academy's students, both the current and future ones, could benefit from his experiences and knowledge. In the years since taking the reins of the Vanguard Academy, Clay has overseen the training of dozens of heroes that are still active in one way or another.

There are few things that can faze Clay, he has seen many things over the course of his career as an agent of C.A.S.T.L.E. and he has little to prove to anyone. While Clay likes to be relaxed around his staff and students in private, he maintains an aura of complete professionalism when acting in his role as Headmaster. He really hates having to shoot people, so when Clay draws his gun, which has happened a few times in the past, everyone knows things have gotten serious.

Real Name: Anthony “Tony” Black
Height: 6’
Weight: 162 lbs
Hair: Brown (turning grey)
Eye Color: Brown


Complications:
Power Loss: Tony must be able to speak and gesture to cast any of his spells.

Prejudice: Alpha.

Relationships: His fellow Academy teaching staff and his students.

Responsibility: As part of the staff at the Vanguard Academy.


Background: The man known as Tony Black to the staff and students at the Vanguard Academy is something of a mystery; he has talked about trekking through the mountains of China, swimming in the waters of the Amazon, spending days meditating in Middle Eastern Deserts among other things.

How many of his claims are true cannot be verified, but he came highly recommended to Clay Toric, and Tony’s job is to work with the students whose powers are of a mystical or psionic nature, help them to better understand their abilities and how to control and use them. For now the Headmaster is willing to give Tony a chance, as apparently the pair have had dealings in the past that left Toric with a less than impressed impression of Tony, and has made it clear that he will not tolerate any kind of shenanigans on Tony’s part.

Thank you. I really struggled to pick who to base Clay's likeness on.
He's on the short list of actors with the versatility to be warm, genuine, and fatherly but also turn that around in .2 seconds to start calmly gunning down bad guys if they threaten his people. Something something, beware when a good man goes to war. :mrgreen:

Complications:

Secret(s): She has a few that could come back to haunt her.


Background: Michelle Hicks was one of the quieter members of her class during her time as a student at the Vanguard Academy, and nobody was surprised when she did not take the Senior Exam despite the fact she was well skilled in using her mental abilities. Upon her graduation, Michelle dropped all contact with her former classmates and moved on with her life.

What she did during those years and when Headmaster Clay Toric brought her onto the teaching staff is still not known, but Toric doesn't seem to be bothered by that (the truth is that he knows exactly what Michelle was doing during that time). Still, he trusts her to help teach the future generations of heroes which goes a long way in soothing the unease some of the staff feels about their peer.

Real Name: Kyle Davis
Aliases: Hornet
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 180 lbs
Hair: Brown
Eye Color: Brown


Complications:
White Sheep Of The Herd: Kyle's nephews and niece have become super villains.

Fame: The members of the Vanguard are well known across the United States.

Identity: He hides the fact that Kyle Davis is the retired hero Hornet.

Relationships: His fellow Academy teaching staff and his students.

Responsibility: As part of the teaching staff at the Vanguard Academy.



Background: Kyle Davis grew up in the world of Alphas as the son of the hero Fire Ant, so seeing people shoot energy beams, demolish buildings with a punch, fly through the air (just to cite a few examples). He wasn’t overly worried if he would manifest the powers his father might have passed down to him, instead Kyle was more interested in science and spent a lot of his younger years pursuing it.

During his teens Kyle manifested the shrinking powers his father had possessed which led to him attending the Vanguard Academy where, like his father, he built a suit that gave him offensive abilities. When he graduated it was no surprise to any of his teachers that Kyle did well enough on his Senior Exam that he was invited to join the Vanguard.

It was Kyle’s iteration of that team who were the ones that first faced off against Ahriman as he recruited his Daevas from across the country, making it nearly impossible for the Vanguard to defeat them. Pressed to come up with a new plan they called upon all former members to return to active status and together with an assortment of enemies (who recognized the threat Ahriman and his people represented) who put aside their differences to face the immortal wizard.

After days of fighting, during which Kyle was injured badly enough to be hospitalized, things were finally ended at the star shaped island Ahriman had created just a few miles off the coast of San Diego. Unfortunately, everyone present on the island at that time was killed by the backlash of unrestrained magical energies that Ahriman had been using to fuel a mystical ritual he was going to use to take over most of the United States, among those lost were Kyle’s younger sister Kristen, her husband Kevin (better known as the hero Behemoth) and his father.

For several weeks Kyle was lost in a haze of pain and heartache, forced to sit by as his family was laid to rest on national television and his nephews and niece were sent to live with other various relatives. The young hero then spent several years recovering from the loss of his arm and the mental stress of losing all of his closest relatives, having went onto reserve status with the Vanguard mostly working periodically as a technical advisor to the group.

It was around this time that Clay Toric reached out to Kyle and offered him a teaching position at the Vanguard Academy, where his years of experience as a superhero and technical knowledge could be used to help train the future generations of heroes that would come from the school. What helped Kyle accept the offer was the fact that his twin nephews were going to start attending the school that same year, and the older man wanted to try to reconnect with his extended family.

That four year effort ended with mixed results, thanks to a large amount of interference by one of the boys classmates, but Kyle remains hopeful that he can still get through to his nephews despite the fact they have made the choice to use their powers irresponsibly at this point. Still, he remains at the school and is one of the combat instructors in addition to being the technologies teacher for the Vanguard Academy.

Costs: Abilities 18+ Skills 14+ Advantages 2+ Powers 60+ Defenses 15= 109 pts.


Real Name: Rick Richmond
Height: 5’5” (non-powered) // 7’8” (panda form)
Weight: 150 lbs (non-powered) // 835 lbs (panda form)
Hair: Brown (non-powered) // Black & white (panda form)
Eye Color: Brown
Unusual Features: He looks very much like a panda


Complications:
Can’t Spam Out: Over use of his Chi Channeling abilities can leave Panda tired and unable to use them until he rests.

Motivation ~Doing Good: Panda wants to use his abilities to help others.

Panda Mode Engage!: Panda is always in his altered form, though it doesn’t bother him all that much.

Power Loss: If his powers are somehow nullified, then Panda’s Attributes change as follows: Strength 1, Stamina 1, Agility 0, Dexterity 0.


Background: Growing up in Springfield Ohio was pretty boring for Rick Richmond, although his interest in the martial arts, comic books, video games and reading fantasy setting novels helped him pass the time. In other words, a pretty typical kid’s life; until his Alpha powers manifested. Suddenly Rick was towering head and shoulders above his peers and looked like a humanoid panda, which he thought was great but brought a lot of unwanted attention to his life.

Needless to say, it did not take long for the Vanguard Academy to learn about Rick’s situation and visited him and his family - while the Richmond parents were sitting down with the school’s recruiter some of the Academy’s students who had come along were hanging out with Rick to give him a small sampling of life at the Academy. What none of them knew was that agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were also aware of Rick’s manifestation and were taking steps to “prevent him from spreading his genetic infection” – which quickly led to a fight breaking out between the two groups.

Luckily, the teenaged Alphas were able to send the armored hatemongers packing and Rick’s parents understood the kinds of dangers he would face if he were to stay at home, so they agreed to send him to the Vanguard Academy where he could be better protected while getting taught how to control his powers.

Real Name: Aurora Pivarnick
Height: 5’1”
Weight: 103 lbs
Hair: Blonde
Eye Color: Blue


Complications:
Legacy: She is related to the original Slingshot, a founding member of the Vanguard.

Motivation ~Thrills: Slingshot loves the idea of being a superhero and enjoys much of the antics involved with that lifestyle.

Prejudice: Alpha.



Background: The granddaughter of Gina Pellerano's, the original Slingshot, sister, Aurora Pivarnick manifested her powers during a fight with members of a female clique who often bullied her. Quickly grasping the basics of her powers, Aurora beat all four girls by herself.

In the aftermath Aurora ended up becoming a target of S.H.I.E.L.D. due to the fact that several witnesses of the altercation had recorded the events and imploded them online. After receiving several threats from the anti-Alpha group, the Pivarnick family decided that it would be best for Aurora to attend the Vanguard Academy.

Real Name: Vera Higgins
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 112 lbs
Hair: Black with blonde streak
Eye Color: Blue


Complications:
Motivation ~Responsibility: Skyfall believes that she should use her powers to help others.

Prejudice: Alpha.


Background: Vera Higgins normal, suburban life was turned upside down when she manifested her Alpha abilities to manipulate gravity. For weeks Vera struggled to hide them but during a family outing at an amusement park she lost control and accidentally caused the roller coaster car she was riding in to separate from the tracks and go off flying. Luckily Vera wasn’t hurt, but it did reveal her Alpha status to everyone present, and videos shot on smartphones were quickly reaching hundreds and hundreds of views on social media.

One of the few lucky things that came from that incident was that the Higgins family was contacted by representatives of the Vanguard Academy, they quickly agreed to send their daughter to the school so she could gain control over her powers and return to her “normal life”.

Where is the picture used for Slingshot from? It feels vaguely familiar but I can't place it.
