Player Characters

• Myrmidon - [Outsider] (played by Kel). The Crown Prince of the Acroyears, sent from the Microverse to test his worthiness to someday become King. Is not aware that anyone was sent to watch him. He lives openly as an alien.
• Shimmer - [Janus] - (played by Micah). A young woman with the power to mimic any substance, and with incredible mobility because of this. Does not know the full extent of her capabilities. Her real name is Elizabeth "Beth" Miller. Has a part time job as an intern at Aurora Integrated Measurements.
• Hood - [Beacon] - (played by Ryan). A young man with savant-like skills as a martial artist, trained by his rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. agent grandfather. He is trying to keep his neighborhood clean from criminal influences and keep his head down. His real name is Todd Bean.
• Positron - [Protege] - (played by Derek). Peter Richards, third child of Reed and Sue Richards. Super-genius, like his father, but capable of manifesting and channeling the energies of the Negative Zone in a fashion much like his Uncle Johnny.
• UNKNOWN - [Bull, Doomed or Transformed] - (played by Alex). TBD

Characters in the Neighborhood

• Ms. Miller (NEED FULL NAME). Beth's mom. She is a receptionist at Aurora Integrated Measurements. She would freak if she knew what Beth was up to in her spare time. Never speaks of Beth's father. Has a home in East Harlem.
• Uncle Hank (NEED FULL NAME). Beth's Uncle (ON MOTHER'S SIDE, ONE ASSUMES?) Works as a detective in the Super Crimes Unit (SCU) of the NYPD. Suspects what Beth is up to. (DOES HE KNOW WHO BETH'S FATHER IS?)
• Benjamin J. Grimm aka "Uncle Ben". Peter is currently living with his Uncle Ben in East Harlem while his parents are off world (or maybe off-dimension, who knows?) Uncle Ben knows what Peter is up to, and has provided Peter with a hideout in the form of keys to a Future Foundation warehouse across the East River.
• Grandfather Bean (NEED FULL NAME). Todd's Grandfather. Once was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and a key instructor in hand-to-hand combat at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. Left S.H.I.E.L.D. under shadowy circumstances after the entire graduating class of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy was killed in a HYDRA attack led by Baron Strucker in 1991. Does not talk much about his life after that.
• Grandmother Bean (NEED FULL NAME). Todd's Grandmother. She would NOT be happy if she knew how thoroughly Grandfather Bean had trained Todd, and that Grandfather Bean was encouraging Todd to be a superhero.
• Father and Mother Bean (NEED NAMES AND DETAILS, ARE THEY IN THE PICTURE?)
• Commissioner Raye Fitzgerald - the NYPD police commissioner. Saved by the team when they first met.

Characters Not in the Neighborhood

• Beth's father. Beth has no idea who he is, and Ms. Miller is not talking.
• Cilicia. Myrmidon's mother and queen of the Acroyears in the Microverse.
• The Richards/Storm family
  • Reed and Sue Richards. Peter's parents. Currently off world, maybe in another universe, on extended sabbatical.
  • Johnny and Lyja Storm, and their child (NEED NAME). Peter's uncle and aunt. Lyja is a skrull, making Peter's cousin the only known half-skrull, half-human in the universe.
  • Franklin Richards. Peter's older brother. He is currently acting CEO of the Future Foundation while his father is away.
  • Valeria Richards, aka The Invincible Girl, aka Queen of Latveria. Peter's older sister. When Victor Von Doom died seven years ago at the end of what is now called World War Doom, his will granted all of his titles and the throne of Latveria to then 13 year old Valeria Richards. Perhaps surprisingly, Valeria immediately took up the throne, essentially running away from her family, and now rules Latveria. She signed the Global Peace Accord on behalf of Latveria and was instrumental in its negotiation.

Places of Importance

• East Harlem (aka Spanish Harlem). The neighborhood in northeast Manhattan where the characters live. While it still has some of its Latino character that led to its once being called "Spanish Harlem", it is now a highly diverse neighborhood, with both native New Yorkers (of all ethnicities) and recent immigrants (some not even from Earth!) living boisterously side by side.
• Barrack Obama High School. The school all of the characters attend.
• Bert's Pawn Shop. Seemingly a normal pawn shop. Hood busted in to the place thinking it was a front for drug sales and discovered a) the Police commissioner tied up in the back, b) the place was ACTUALLY a pawn shop for super-villain and alien equipment, c) "Bert" of "Bert's Pawn Shop" was actually the super-villain known as the Fixer. Realizing he was in over his head, Hood called up the only actual super-hero type he knew, Peter Richards, who came with Myrmidon. Beth happened to be walking by when the action started, and got involved. This was the first time the team fought together.
• Future Foundation. The organization set up by Reed and Sue Richards to maintain his patents and better the human condition. Currently ran by Franklin Richards while his father is away.
• The Warehouse. A warehouse owned but mostly forgotten by the Future Foundation on the East River in Brooklyn, across from East Harlem. Stores many pieces of "obsolete" (by the standards of Reed Richards) technology.
