CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, USA
As the world comes to terms with the idea of superhuman people walking among them, standout cities take the lead in seeking a balance between equality and control. Milwaukee, San Diego, Phoenix, and several other major cities are the most progressive in achieving this balance. Other cities, still reluctant to allow such powerful beings in their midst, struggle to look beyond the past incidents. Namely, Seattle, Boston, and Illinois have the highest crime rate for human-against-superhuman and superhuman-against-human incidents. Protests in these unwelcoming cities turn to riots, threats turn into reality, and chaos becomes inevitable.
Within Chicago, superhumans live in hiding, only revealing their powers in costume. Good guys in costume run rampant, fighting both borderline terrorist civilians and villains alike. Should a person be revealed to the public to have powers, whether they are a hero or not, it can be guaranteed that they will be hunted down. In present day, tensions are especially high following the very public murder of a well-known superhuman. This man, known for his charming equality speeches and unmatched strength, was found early morning on the busy city streets, in civilian clothes, littered with bullets. Humans blame villains, superhumans blame anti-superhuman groups.
Political ploys become evermore present with each superhuman death. There is no telling who is truly behind the disarray within the city, as everyone will point a finger at someone different. Corrupt leaders are a given, but so are the wicked villains looking for civilian demise. Superhumans must choose their part, as the bad guy or the underground savior. Perhaps most will remain as human as they can.

4.) Uncensored swearing is allowed. Be as vulgar as you please.
5.) You can have multiple powers, but one must be most noticeable. Like self regeneration, but also super senses or something. This being said, do not have the exact same noticeable power as someone else. Shake it up a bit.

POSITIVE TRAITS: Intuitive, cunning, assertive, valiant, persistent, tranquil, bold, assertive.
NEGATIVE TRAITS: Apathetic, unpredictable, blunt, bullheaded, unreliable, manipulative.
STRENGTHS: His telekinesis can toss a car down several blocks, and anything within two blocks can be used. He is extremely apathetic, thus leaving him no real concern for damage caused.
WEAKNESSES: He is blind; he depends on telekinesis like a force field to keep from running into things or people. Using telekinesis on frequently on heavy objects like cars can drain his strength quickly.
MAJOR WEAKNESS: High-pitched sounds, like dog whistles, and low-pitched sounds, like fog horns, disable him.
BRIEF HISTORY: Sebastian was born in Chicago to a middle-class family. His was blind at birth. He grew up in a quiet suburb, where the city's unrest didn't seem to have an affect. His parents were powerful superhumans, but underground and controlling of their childrens' powers as well. They always remained neutral throughout his childhood and never showed any affiliation with one side or the other. As far as he knew, they were as normal as their neighbors. Though he relied on telekinesis to guide him and bounce him away from anything, his parents got him a guide dog to blend in better. When he moved out to study teaching downtown, he began to learn about the anti-superhuman groups and their reckless actions against anyone with powers. This bothered him, but not enough to turn him villainous. His turning point was more of an opportunity than a tragedy when he had learned about anti-superhuman riots taking place downtown. He acted against them, wearing what would become his outfit, along with other villains looking to disrupt the riot. history can be fleshed out among siblings.

PLOT IDEAS:

FULL NAME: Malik Tamir
ALIAS: N/A
NICKNAMES: Mal
AGE: 23
GENDER: Male
BIRTHPLACE: Boston, Massachusetts
AFFILIATION: Underground
POWERS: Pain inducement and distribution; he can cause pains to otherwise unharmed persons, can draw actual pain/injury from a person to himself or others.

BODY MARKINGS: N/A
PHYSICAL DISABILITIES: Severe migraines.
MENTAL DISORDERS: N/A
STREET CLOTHING: Malik keeps it simple with the usual pair of black jeans, a loose sweatshirt, and Converse sneakers. He only layers a coat on if he deems it cold enough for one. At home, or grocery shopping, he goes for a comfortable jogger sweats and hoodie look. He survives off of sunglasses, and will wear these indoors or out. On duty, he wears black tennis shoes with his EMT uniform.

POSITIVE TRAITS: Thoughtful, open-minded, welcoming, talkative, spontaneous, persuasive, congenial
NEGATIVE TRAITS: Brash, stubborn, fearless, dubious, enigmatic, brazen, devious
STRENGTHS: He is not afraid of pain or death, and will transfer injuries momentarily onto himself to determine how to save a person. His mimicry is best used against people in traumatic instances, and he can easily persuade people into spilling the truth, or what he deems to be the truth.
WEAKNESSES: Can be crippled with migraines, making him unable to mimic people, control pain, or even walk. Taking pain subjects him to falling unconscious and temporarily inoperable, depending on the injury at hand.
MAJOR WEAKNESS: Temperatures. Anything too cold (freezing temperatures, ice cold water) or too hot (fire, temperatures over 90) renders his main powers of pain inducement/distribution and mimicry useless.

INFATUATIONS: N/A
RELATIONS: N/A (open)
NEMESIS: N/A
HOME: He owns a small studio apartment.
OCCUPATION: Paramedic/EMT, typically night shifts.

PLOT IDEAS: (if he's gonna die) he could be distributing a dying person's pain onto him, and when they can't be saved in time, he dies too. Or trades his life for theirs accidentally.
If he started off in a relationship or close to one that would be cool and keep his character mused probs
