Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Madame Peacock Background: Baroness Victoria Peacock is one of the last living heirs to Peacock Castle in England. The other being Vironica Peacock, Victoria's cousin, who's also known as the super-villainess Tiara. The two cousins have always been rivals dating back to when they both were little children. They're also both mutants. Victoria's powers are extra-sensory in nature. She's able to occassionaly get insights of what is going to happen in the future. Victoria first became involved in the super-hero world when a man named Grant Thurman came to her and asked her to look into his furture. She did as he asked, and saw that Grant would become a great hero. Later, Grant became the super-hero known as Crownguard, protector the royal family. Meanwhile, Victoria never really took her powers seriously. All that changed on a spring morning when she was out walking in Hyde Park in London. While on her walk she was attacked by a large dog-like creature. Her mutant powers were able to warn her of the impending attack by the super-villain mutant known as the Hound, who's in the employee of her Vironica. Being forwarned Victoria was able to make an escape. Back at Castle Peacock, which Vironica coveted as much as Victoria, a vison came upon Victoria. Looking into the future, Victoria was able to see that her cousin was going to form a super-villain group, which Vironica called the Elite. In her vision, she saw her cousin as well as the Hound amoung others. Victoria could also see that the Elite would eventually attempt to take over the kingdom. She then felt honor bound to oppose the plans of her cousin, and the only way to do that was to form a super-hero group of her own. Victoria searched all over England for super-heroes who'd stand with her. These heroes were to be known as the Realmsmen. As for Victoria, she would be their leader, and took on the code-name: Madame Peacock. Quote: "The mysteries of the future are vague to some, but not to me." Personality Victoria is a dedicated member of the British aristocracy. She acts as the guardian of English interests. Victoria has had a strong moral upbringing, so she would never willingly take another persons life. Her one weakness is a nagging fear of enclosed places, which was due to her cousin Vironica locking her in a broom cupboard when she was six. Powers/Tactics Victoria is a mutant with the ability to occasionally catch glimpse of possilbes futures. This ability isn't foolproof, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Whenver, she uses the power, a nimbus shaped like a peacocks tail forms behind her. Because of her precognitive abiliteis, Victoria is very sensitve to danger to herseld, and sometimes to the area around her. Due to the attack on her by the Hound, Victoria now wears reinforced clothes, and when expecting combat will carry a staff with her for defense. Victoria isn't much of a hand-to-hand combatante; her powers aren't geared in that direction. As heir to the Peacock fortune, Victoria has control of Peacock Castle, which the Realmsmen uses as a base. Appearance Victoria is a petite redheaded lady with sparkling green eyes. She stands arout 5'4" tallk and weigh about 120 lbs. Victoria is quite beautiful, but not vain like her cousin Vironica. She doesn't normally wear a costume, but wears clothes that are fashionable. However, due to the nature of her work, all of her clothes have been reinforced.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Cherry Blossom Background Dead. Everyone in Kayoko's life were dead. Her brothers, sisters, mothers, and father all dead. The oni that haunted and hunted her family had struck again. Once every gerneration or so a terible oni would strike the Takabe ninja clan killing everyone except for one. Kayoko turned out to be that lone survivor. That nihgt Kayoko sowre an oath over the mangled bodies of her family that she would avenge their deaths on the demon who had killed them all. It was a long a difficult search for the killer, but eventually Kayoko tracked the monster down and had it cornered. In their final exchange of clows Kayoko got really lucky as she cut the demons' head clean off. However, the one was also able to tear a long gash in Kayoko's shoulder. Kayoko was the victor, at least as far as she thought. It came as a great suprise to the ninja girl that the oni lived still. The oni offered Kayoko great powers in return for her giving its' head back. Against her better judgement, Kayoko did agree to give the monster it's head back. The oni promptly returend its' head to its proper place atop its' shoulders. While the oni didg grant Kayoko some powers, it still fled from her saying that one day it would return for her head. The monster laughed manically as it fled. Once again Kayoko has taken up her quest to finish the one. She has also since joined the Eight Headed Monster Gang in the hopes that with the aid of the other members of the gang she'll finally destroy the monster who slew her entire family, but until that day Kayoko has taken the name Cherry Blossom. Quote "I offer up my life for your defeat." Personality The death of her family has maky Kayoko very depressed and moody. It doesn't take much to make Kayoko sad. Kayoko often sees the futility in everyday life. Life has become a comsic joke to the ninja girl. Kayoko still seeks to slay the oni that killed her entire family. This is probably the only thing that drives her. Loosing that would mostly likely cause Kayoko to give up on life itself, and as such ending hers. Powers/Tactics Kayoko is a ninja who has gained a few magical powers form the one that she hunts. The main ability she gained is the ability to shrink down to an extremely small size, but maintain the same physical abilities as if she were still of normal height. While shrunk, Kayoko also has the ability to leap over great distances with eash. The oni also gave Kayoko super-human agility and speed. Kayoko has given up on using her families ninja-to, prefering to use shurikens which she can throw faster than the eye can follow. Naturally, as a ninja girl, Kayoko is a master of ninjutsu. Like a typical ninja girl, Kayoko likes to use hit and run tactics. With her shrinking powers coupled with her ninja skills; it's almost impossilbe to find her. To get away from a conflict, Kayoko typically uses her leaping ability to make her escape. Appearance Kayoko wears a typcial ninja nighsuit for a costume that is all in black. On the right breast of her ninja nightsuit is the mon of her ninja clas, a cherry blossom. To hide her identity, Kayoko wears a black silk scarf that covers the lower half of her face. Otherwise, Kayoko is a young Japanese girl who stand 5'3" tall and weighs about 80 lbs. Kayoko is a rather cute girl, but seems to have an aura of great sadness around her. When not hunting the oni Kayoko typically posess as a university student. On her back is an ugly scar where the oni raked her with its' claws.

Miyoko was a serious believer in the safety and traditions of Japan, being from a long line of honorable samurai. It was her beliefs and background that brought her to the secret service. In the end her downfall came through the acts of her new superior in the secret service. Her superior had no respect for Miyoko's skill or position as an agent for the secret service. To him, Miyoko was just a mere woman, not worthy of being a part of the secret service. Eventually Miyoko was forced to kill him for that insult, as tradition would've demanded. After killing her superior, Miyoko set about to commit suicide, agains as tradition would've demanded. However, as she was about to plunge her sword into her body Octopus showed up and using his powers prevented Miyoko from taking her life. Needless to say, Miyoko didn't appriciate the interuption and a battle between her and Octopus ensued. All during the battle, Octopus kept talking and talking.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Steelwind Background Samura Maehata is a ninja won once belonged to the same ninja clan as Sleeve and Darkstar. Both Darkstar and Maehata who was known as Steelwind often clashed over their affections for Sleeve. All three were young at the time, and Sleeve seemed to really enjoy playing one ninja off of the other. Usually their duels ended when one or the other was knocked out. The victor of duel was given the honor of a date with Sleeve. To the loser, he got to nurse his own bruises. However, it was during a particular duel, when Darkstar accidently slipped on the mat that Steelwind in a pique of rage put out Darkstar's left eye with his ninja-to. This incident was immediately brought to the attention of the clan elders, who weren't amused. After a lot of deliberation and debate it was decided that Sleeve must been the cause for the accident. Sleeve of course protested her innocents. To the clan elders this was a sure since of the ninja girl's guilt. As punishment Sleeve was stripped on her clan privileges, and exiled to Hong Kong. This decision did not sit well with Darkstar. And eventually he left the clan all together. Steelwind was as pleased as could be. His main rival was finally gone; his only regret was the Sleeve was no longer there to bask in his greatness. Later it was learned that Sleeve had actually betrayed the clan. She had joined with a Chinese woman who was calling herself Dragon Lady. This was an insult the clan elders could not accept. The elders were still angered with Maehata, and as such they sent him to Hong Kong to eliminate the traitorous Sleeve. It was easy for Maehata to track down the traitor in Hong Kong. Was he not the greatest ninja the world had known? Maehata had the ninja girl cornered, but out of nowhere the other super-powered members of Golden Triangle came pouring out of the woodwork. Femme Fatale and he crossed blades, and while he easily drove her off, a slug from the Commander's pistol certainly got his attention. With a bullet wound in his shoulder, Maehata gave up on capturing Sleeve and returned to Japans. Needless to say the clan elders weren't happy. First Sleeve caused Maehata to wound Darkstar in the eyes, then Sleeve betrayed the clan, then Darkstar left the clan, and finally Maehata failed. It was all to much for the clan elders. Maehata was exiled from the clan, never to return upon pain of death. For the next few years, Maehata traveled a lot. Going from place to place. Where ever he went he challenged martial artists to duels. However, none of them seemed to hold the skill of his former rival Darkstar. It was while Maehata was in San Diego following up on a report about a ninja clan when Maehata ran into Proportions late at night outside of a nightclub. Proportions was spoiling for a fight, and Maehata was glad to give him on. This was the first time Maehata had ever encountered a super-powered opponent. He was greatly impressed with Proportions strength and raw power. And it isn't easy to impress Maehata. Proportions for his side of it was astonished by Maehata's skill and agility. During the entire fight, Proportions was never able to lay a hand on the wily ninja. Both were greatly exhausted when the fight was over. Maehata and Proportions were both panting from the fight. Sirens were sounding in the background. During the fight both had destroyed several cars, and uprooted many telephone poles. It was Proportions who offered to bring Maehata back to the Aggressors latest hide out to meet the others. Back at the Aggressors hide out, Maehata met with Mentello and Centipede. While Maehata was not impressed with the mechanical armor of Centipede, he was impressed with Mentello's abilities. Mentello offered Maehata a membership in the Aggressors. Maehata decided that the Aggressors would make a perfect vehicle to find the path of the perfect warrior, so he gladly joined. As for the clan elders, they raged against another betrayal, and placed a sizable bounty on their foolish ninja. Personality Maehata is a perfectionist in an almost obsessive way. To him there can be no warrior greater than him. Proportions while is a great fighter, is nothing but a mere brawler according to Maehata. Other so-called martial artist much be challenged to prove once and for all how great Maehata is. At times Maehata may appear as one who's philosophical, however, this is nothing more than a facade. Against those who don't meet his strict measurements, Maehata holds them with the utmost contempt. The only ones he really respects are his former rival and Sleeve. All other just haven't measured up. Of course the other members of the Aggressors are at least extended a little courtesy from Maehata, but not much. As such Maehata always comes across as a very arrogant man. Like most ninja, Maehata has little or no respect for live. To him killing is actually an art form, and Maehata is surely an artist of the greatest type. As such Maehata will take down an opponent with his ninja-to and beyond to the next without a backward glance. Quote "I know that I am the greatest warrior in the world. However, I don't know about you." Powers Maehata has no real super-powers per se. However, his ninja training allows him to move faster than what most would think possible. He naturally can run really fast when he needs to. His training also makes his senses very sharp. Maehata can sense danger around him at times. Maehata has armed himself with throwing stars, which he can unleash rapidly. But his favorite weapon is his treasured ninja-to. With his ninja-to Maehata can cause horrible wounds. He has even learned a maneuver which he calls his "Death Strike" where he finds a weapon spot in his opponents defenses and plunges his ninja-to to the hilt. To protect himself from super-hero attacks, Maehata has had his ninja night-suit specially treated with chemicals to protect him just like armor, but more flexible. Even without his throwing stars or his ninja-to, Maehata is a master of ninjutsu. Maehata can easily disable a foe using that alone. Like all ninja's Maehata is a master of stealth, tracking, and disguise. Often times it's hard for heroes to know who exactly Maehata is. Appearance Maehata doesn't look much like a typical super-villian. For a costume, Maehata wears a traditional ninja night-suit which totally hides his face, except for his cold eyes. When not in his Steelwind guise, Maehata typically wears clothing like that of a Japanese businessman along with sunglasses to hide his contempt. Otherwise Maehata goes out of his way to not draw attention to himself, as this would be dangerous.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Proportions Background Billy Lee Johnson once was a professional boxer from Atlanta who was down on his luck. He was losing fights, even against boxers that he could usually beat. Billy Lee was starting to get worried that his career might be over at the age of twenty. Once after loosing a humiliating fight against an up and coming boxer Billy Lee went on a drinking tour of all the bar in the city. Dawn found him stumbling down the streets drunk. He knew he must be hallucinating when he walked through a wall, or that for a while he was towering over the city in a drunken haze. Eventually Billy Lee found his way home. Billy remembered the sound of construction workers outside his house the next day. For some reason there was a lot new pot holes in the road around his house. With a yawn, Billy Lee went down to the gym to work out, giving no thought to what had happened last night. Since that drunken night things for Billy Lee had changed dramatically. His worthless manager finally paid off for him getting him a match with another famous boxer. This was going to be a major fight for Billy Lee. And he won. After that Billy Lee kept on winning. It didn't even seem unusual to Billy Lee that all of his opponents were sent to the hospital after their bouts. One of them even died of massive trauma. Billy Lee was quickly going up the ranks, and was becoming quite famous. Eventually Billy Lee was given the opportunity to fight against the heavy weight champion in a casino in Atlantic City. Billy Lee was really psyched about the bout. He had his game face on and was really concentrating. Things were going really well, when all hell broke loose. Before he knew what was happened Billy Lee started growing, and growing until he was a giant. The roof of the arena was destroyed by his growth. People started screaming, and the next thing Billy Lee knew he was the size an ant. Billy Lee fearing that he would be stepped on instantly returned to his normal height but was transparent as a ghost. This scared the champ, who took a swing at Billy Lee. Before Billy Lee knew what was happening he was now as a hard as a rock. The champ broke his hand on Bill Lee's face. The match was over and Billy Lee was disqualified for using his meta-powers. Furthermore the boxing commission banned him from boxing for the rest of his life. People started to turn their backs on Billy Lee. With no where else to turn to, Billy Lee turned to crime. His first big crime was when he went to rob the cash box at another major boxing match in Atlantic City. Before robbing the cash box, Billy Lee, who was calling himself Proportions, was going to enter the ring and beat both boxers into the ground. They never had a chance against him. Unfortunately for Proportions, Mentello and Centipede were robbing the casino as well. When Proportions realized what was going on the other two villains had made their getaway. Proportions tracked them down and was going to get revenge on them, when Mentello surprised him by offering him half of the loot and suggested that the three of them might make a great team. It was Proportions who suggested the name of the team; the Aggressors. Since that night, Proportions has gone on to be the strong man for the Aggressors. Personality Billy Lee has always been a very aggressive man; this is one of the reasons he became a professional boxer, to deal with his aggressive nature. Nothing has really changed since becoming Proportions. As Proportions, Billy Lee is always looking out for a good fight. When Billy Lee started winning his boxing matches he really enjoyed all the fame and the money he was getting. It all went straight to his head. Since becoming Proportions, his thirst for wealth and fame has increased dramatically. Proportions thinks that being a member of the Aggressors will get him the things he deserves. Pity the super-hero who gets in way. Now that Billy Lee has super powers; Proportions thinks nothing can harm him. This has been his undoing at times. Proportions likes to showboat his powers, and gloat when his foes are down. Quote "So who wants a piece of me?" Powers Proportions is a man with the meta-gene that allows him complete control of his size and density. Through unknown means Proportions is able to add a lot of mass to his body or take that same mass away. Also Proportions can increase or decrease his size. Proportions can take so much mass away that he becomes virtually immaterial. When Proportions adds on height or mass, he becomes super-humanly strong, and when shrunk difficult to hit. Proportions is unable to combine his powers, thus he's unable to shrink and add on mass. In addition to his size/mass powers, Proportions has the skills of a professional boxer. Coupled with his met-gene enhanced powers this makes him a deadly foe. In a fight, Proportions likes to make a dramatic entrance. He also likes to primarily fight foes one on one using his boxing skills. However, Proportions has been known to pick up objects and throw then at his foes. Proportions isn't about using his shrinking and desolidification powers to unnerve his foes. To get away from a fight, Proportions will either shrink to his smallest size or become totally immaterial. Appearance When Proportions uses his growth powers he grows to the height and weight of a giant, or can shrink down to the size of a gnat; barely noticeable. Or Proportions can add or subtract from his mass becoming infinitely heavy or practically immaterial. At his normal size, Billy Lee is a muscular bald black man. For a costume, Billy Lee wears a pair of red boxing shorts, along with white boots. He also likes to tape up his arms up to his elbows. Proportion doesn't wear boxing gloves. Due to his dramatic change in the boxing ring, it would be difficult for Billy Lee to maintains a secret identity.
