Hello housemates!
(Seven of) you have officially been in the house for 31 days, and to celebrate, you have all received powers.
BSam, you have received the power of super speed Charlie, you have received the power to control metal Him, you have received the power of invisibility Mister M, you have received the power of immortality Renuoquidvis, you have received the power of flight Tryina, you have received the power to shrink or grow Violet, you have received the power of super strength Willy, you have received the power of mind reading Zort, you have received the power of xray vision
With your newfound powers, you must craft a superhero (or supervillain, if that's how you roll) name, outfit, explanation of your power (and its limits), and origin story. In addition, you must find at least 2 allies and 2 enemies from among your fellow housemates, and explain to us why they are your enemy or ally. Post it all here and have it done in the next 48 hours.

Name: Lady Shadow (supervillain/vigilante superhero) Outfit: This dress These boots This mask for day wear And this mask for parties And this cloak (I know I know, capes are a bad idea but CLOAKS are just amazing so there): Power: Super strength, but only in darkness. The sun saps her of strength, which is why she wears such heavy clothing: the less sunlight she is exposed to, the stronger she becomes. Origin story: She wasn't born, but was instead spun out of moonlight and shadows by a fairie Queen in the 16th century. Because she is made of magic, moonlight, and shadows, she is gifted with superhuman strength but cannot withstand contact with the sun for long, because it is the very antithesis of her being. At first, she didn't mind this, an enjoyed the nighttime. But as the centuries passed, she grew to resent human society as it prized the daylight hours so much, something she could never be a part of. Because of her resentment towards human society in general, she became convinced that their methods of law enforcement were not just or strict enough, and so she became a vigilante, tracking down criminals during the night and using her super strength to crush the life from their bodies. I'm not sure if I'm meant to just pick allies and enemies or if we're meant to negotiate that part once we've described our superheroes/villains, so I'm going to wait to see what other people post for that bit.

Him? is an invisible hero. His costume is this headwear and this armor Always unseen, Him? manifests in subtle yet devastating ways, for example when there is a showdown between other hero and villain Him? will sneak up and tie the villain shoelaces together. Hilarity. Him? is never visible, when he needs to appear he will put on gloves. The power was caused by a bite from something radioactive but no one saw what it was.

OK I want Him? as an ally please, he sounds hilarious and frankly I think he'd be useful in getting Lady Shadow to see the funny side of life because she's kind of pretentious at the moment, to be honest. But she would be a good ally to have because she's a dab hand at croquet (and who doesn't like croquet?) and if you ever need any heavy lifting done she's the one to go to.

Ally accepted
Him? would invisibly help your croquet game cheatingly.
Her affinity for night is also good as the darkness of night feels a lot more home than the bright of day for Him?

Name : M-Man Costume : Unknown, see below Power : Immortality, but not invincibility. M-Man can live forever but can be killed like any normal man. Origin Story : M-man is as old as the earth, and some say even older. M-man was present in some form for most significant events in the development of the universe, perhaps coming from a planet other than our own. He has observed the development of the human race and has taken a solemn vow to safeguard the destiny of earth. Due to his extreme old age he has amassed a vast amount of knowledge about the secrets of the universe, and uses his intelligence to subtly manipulate world events. He is rarely seen by humans, living life in the shadows and only revealing himself to those whom he believes will play a significant part in the future of the world. He's the kind of person who'd be a secondary character in other superhero's comics. Like Nick Fury turning up in all he marvel films or something.
M-man would like to forge an alliance with Lady Shadow.
M-man feels like Him? would get on his nerves a bit, due to M-man being a miserable old bastard. so they are probably enemies

Animosity accepted. Him? dislikes your living in shadows, manipulating, etc, as that's the kind of area Him? is interested in doing himself.
"Rarely seen? Pshaw, how about NEVER seen!"

My superhero is named Willy the Robot. He is a robot who can read minds. He has no outfit other than just being a robot. Willy the robot can read the minds of humans using his circuitry, but because he is a polite robot he will only read their mind if they give him permission. His origin story is that one day he was built by a human named Nicholas, to be just a normal robot, but then Nicholas spilled his honey nut cheerios on willy the robot's circuitry, and therefore he could read minds.
His allies are Renuoquidvis because willy the robot has no ability to fly and so that would be a useful thing for an ally to have in case the villian can fly too, and bsam because willy the robot is very slow and having an ally who can go fast would be useful in the case of a speedy villian. His enemy is charlie, the evil metal bender because he is made of metal, and zort the evil xrayer because he is very self conscious about his insides.

Lady Shadow accepts M-man's offer of allegiance with gratitude and excitement at having another friend who likes darkness. She thinks she's going to have to spend a lot of time trying (probably in vain) to make peace between Him? and M-man.

It's Sammy Speedster! actual picture A beacon of light and of all that is pure and good in this world. His super speed is super impressive and he can do all sorts of super speedy things like a super speedy punch that is super strong. He is basically a fat flash except he can't run so fast and go back in time because that is a little dumb. He is teamed up with Willy the Robot who he helps to move around real fast and Willy helps with tactics. He is also teamed up with Tryina probably, depending on her character, because ant man is awesome. He is against Lady Shadow and M-Man because they are not pure good they are manipulative and bad and he is a beacon of light which i said earlier.

So far I have an ally Lady Shadow, and a nemesis M-Man I would propose an additional nemesis of whomsoever Zorts guys is, as xray vision may reveal me, and I can't be having with that. I would also propose an additional ally of Renuoquidvis as we could infiltrate a place very well, me at the doors and him at the roof, with his flying.

My superhero is The Lamplighter I'm thinking of a steampunk aesthetic so he has a top hat and aviator goggles and other victoriany mechanical things and clothes He has a big steampunk engine strapped on his back and it powers a set of mechanical wings and it also powers a big handheld lamp he uses to see and find things The pack would look something like this And the wings would look something like this guy's wings And the lamp would be like this but on a long hose so he can hold it Here is a picture of him that I made out of several processed sticks of burnt wood His world's gone completely dark and covered in smog and he is the last of the lamplighters and he wants to salvage as much as he can He uses his wings to fly obviously and they run surprisingly efficiently on coal but if he runs out in the air he's toast and his lamp goes out and there are not very many safe places to land He would definitely be allies with Charlie's superperson because of the metal bending which would be very useful He would definitely be enemies with Lady Shadow because lack of sun is no good As for the other ally and other enemy I guess I'll have to wait and see until more people post
