Alias: El Hombre de Oro, δύο

Brief Overview

Name: Hectore Michaelides

Origin: Far North

Species: Human

Current Leader of the Protectorate

Hectore Michaelides, often referred to as ‘El Hombre de Oro’ or more simply, ‘Hombre,’ is the current head of the Protectorate.  He is the son of the late Truman Michalides, a former lieutenant of the Protectorate and powerful atmosfero (also the father of Shadow Moses/Noel), and the late Agnes Glass.  Uncommon in the adapted world, he inherited both of his parents abilities in a phenomenon known as codominance.  Agnes, who was a geode, and Truman, the atmosfero, both passed down their abilities, which are both fully expressed in Hectore.  Like other geodes, Hectore is able to transform his body into whatever material he touches.  However, an unknown mutation causes him to constantly turn into pure gold.  Unique to him, he is able to turn other things he comes into contact with into gold as well.  Unlike the story of Midas, however, water does not reverse this effect; only he is able to do and undo the transformation.  So, to inhibit his powers, he wears a ring that allows total control of his abilities, although it prohibits the full extent of his power.  Like his father, however, he exercises control over the atmosphere and can generate lightning.  Unlike his half-brother, his lightning is normal.  Though, his atmospheric abilities are not as well focused as his geode skills, and he therefore does not utilize his atmosfero powers often.

Following the war, he detained Noel and imprisoned him.  After being severely weakened by the Vasquez’s, Hectore temporarily altered Noel’s form into gold and kept him in a thick concrete cell.  It is highly speculated that Hectore helped his brother escape, though no proof was ever released.  He also possesses immense strength and speed when his full power is released, though his body permanently becomes solid gold, and he has less control over what he transforms.  While he cannot fly as well as his teammates, he is certainly a viable asset to the team due to his leadership and strategy.  The best testaments of his power include transforming Noel’s lightning into solid gold and subsequently destroying it, taking the full blast of an atmosfero powered lightning cannon and surviving in space without a suit.  The limits to his power is unknown.  Without his inhibitors, his gold form is impervious to telekinesis even by the likes of Deafening Sound and Prism.

General Appearance

Height: 6’0” (182.88 cm)

Weight: 155 lbs (70 kg)

Age: 31

Classification: Geode, atmosfero

Hectore is a youthful man with predominantly sharp features and a bronze complexion.  Like his half-brother, he has a thick mane of black hair and a long-limbed, pianist like frame.  Perhaps it is an effect of his ability, but he is quite dashingly handsome, like a less muscular, Mediterranean James Bond.  He currently lives in the central cities in the center of the western nation, between the Rivers Plato and Diamante.  In his gold form (uninhibited by the ring), his entire body including his hair, clothing and eyes become solid gold.  While this form allows him quite a lot of power, it is unpredictable.  Each step of his is reported to leave meter deep footsteps of gold, and objects he touches do not always revert back to their normal state after being transformed into gold.  This ability to transform other objects on such a grand scale is not present in any other geode on Earth, including Steel, whose abilities are said to be on par or stronger than that of Hectore’s.  Thus, his unique skill has been dubbed the name “Touch of Midas,” which is a testament to his unseen alchemic powers.

Brief Overview

Name: Noel Chevalier

Origin: Far North

Species: Human

Former Member of the Earthly Protectorate

Highly Dangerous

Noel Chevalier is a young man, well known for serving as the third member of the protectorate, but is most famous for leading the Coalition, a hazardous and highly costly revolution.  His aim was to accelerate the natural selection of non-adapted humans and adapted humans (the rising majority on Earth), as well as overthrow Hectore, the current leader of the Protectorate.  However, him and Hectore both hail from the same humble origins; a home in the far northern countries.  They are half-brothers: Hectore was the result of the original second member of the Protectorate, while Noel was the illegitimate child of the same man and a mistress.  The two began as partners as activists working towards labor rights for adapted humans, the essential forerunners of the programs made for adapted humans today.  Noel’s philosophy and thirst for superiority led him to riling up the masses and encouraging them to overtake non-adapted leaders.  He triggered the series of unfortunate events, sparking the National Conflict.  Noel has a convincing way with words, proficiency in most languages and power.  He is arguably one of the most powerful adapted human on Earth, while other circles argue that it is Hectore, and more stand firm in their belief that Alexi bests him.

His speed is nearly immeasurable; somewhere between mach speeds and light.  As his powers fall under the classification of atmosfero, him and Alexi possess many similar abilities.  Most notably, his ability to conjure up storms and manipulate air pressure and winds.  Though, his trademark is that he can control lightning and transform his body into fast moving bolts, a form that allows him to travel quickly, even through the vacuum of space.  Scientists and other specialists, however, cannot explain why the electricity he produces is black and nearly invisible to the eye.  As far as feats, he has proven the ability to nearly defeat three members of the Protectorate (Alexi, Hectore and Jordan) alone and was only defeated by Hectore’s touch of Midas, a power he only uses in the severest emergencies.  Additionally, he has demonstrated mastery over several martial arts, nearly stumping Alexi.  Yet, the feat that triumphs over the aforementioned was his battle against the infamous Prism.  Although he had the support of Alexi, he fought the alien head-on and incapacitated him temporarily.  As of right now, his whereabouts are unknown.

General Description

Height: 5’ 11” (180.34 cm)

Weight: 150 lbs (68 kg) Age: 30

Classification: Atmosfero

Noel is a tall, small-framed man with oily black hair and dark bronze skin.  He is composed of generally long, lean limbs and pianist fingers.  Unlike many adapted vigilantes, his identity is available for the public eye, being one of the first to reveal such a thing.  His eyes are colored a dark, woody crimson like mahogany.  Up close, however, bloody tints of red are visible.  In public, he is often seen wearing a black suit with red accents, a red tie, and red-bottomed shoes.  His hair is typically kept slicked back with a single strand hanging on front of his face.  Both him and Hectore earned their respective spots on the Protectorate at the same time, and his suit is uniquely made.  His suit is black with tiny, hexagonal scales and his insignia, the number III, imprinted on his left pectoral.  Unlike the other suits, it covers him down to his fingertips and comes with shoes match.  Before his fall from grace, one of his mentors was the legendary Jordan Vasquez.  Many speculate that it was Jordan’s death that sparked the revolution in him, while others simply claim he lost his mind.

He channels his powers from the air around him and is highly specialized in manipulating ions and charged electrons.  With this, he can generate electric fields and, therefore, lightning.  Additionally, he can charge up high amounts of electricity inside his own body and release bolts of shadowy lightning from his fingertips.

Brief Overview

Name: Alexi Vasquez

Origin: C. America

Species: Human

Member of the Earthly Protectorate

One of the most famous, but also humblest protector of Earth, Alexi hails from quiet origins.  Her and her brother were both born in a small township in the central rainforests, near the stone ruins. After the discovery of their adaptations, they were taken into protection at a young age and finally sent to the northern continent to hone their craft.  While visiting Earth, feel safe knowing that she is on duty.  Unlike many other of the adapted vigilantes on Earth, her identity as a protector is unconcealed.  She earned her alias as Seis originates from her young display of prowess in her powers, and therefore becoming the first person to create a sixth slot in the Protectorate.  However, following the tragic demise of her brother, she took his place as the fifth, earning the alias of Cinco.  Like her brother, Alexi’s powers fall under the classification of atmosfero, which entails a group that possesses control over gases and other atmospheric properties (i.e pressure, gas ions, winds).  Though, she has grown to be much stronger than her brother, a remarkable feat already.  Unlike other atmosferos, she utilizes her power to create combustions in the air and fly.  The trademark skill of her and her brother is the ability to transform her body into a mass of vapor, allowing her to combust herself without injuring herself as well as become intangible.  She has demonstrated mach level speeds, but remarks from her late brother suggest that she can fly at unbelievable speeds.

Not only has she performed marvelous work as a protector, but has also donated her time and effort to reconstructing impoverished South and Central American countries, as well as bringing first world education and technology to these less fortunate places.  Though, do not mistake her generous and amiable personality for weakness, as she is quite a formidable opponent.  During the first droves of the Conflict, she secured the southern shores from the rebels, taking down a thousand paratroopers single-handedly (quite literally).  Though, she never kills, or intends to kill at least.  In her battle against Noel Chevalier (Alias: Shadow Moses), another remarkably powerful atmosfero, she came out on top and was able to cancel his abilities to some extent.  However, her trusting personality rendered her unconscious and allowed an injured Noel to escape.

General Description

Height: 5’7” (170.2 cm)

Weight: 160 lbs (72.6 kg)

Age: 24

Classification: Atmosfera

Alexi is a jovial young woman with youthful features, as well as a voluminous mane of brown hair that falls just below her shoulder blades.  Her eyes are a dark brown, like untouched coffee.  She has a few white hairs and laugh lines below her eyes, but overall she exudes power and possesses an unspoken power over the room.  She is often found flying about the skies, typically above the southern ocean where she will rise above the clouds to commemorate her brother’s passing.  Like Icarus, he flew too high into the sky and found it too difficult to come back down.  At least twice a year, Alexi will stop by and paint the clouds pink and orange in his memory.  Her original suit was colored red on the left half and orange on the right, with a black line down the middle and a fiery colored VI emblazoned on her chest.  She recently hung up that suit, and instead wears the suit intended for the fifth member of the Protectorate, her brother’s former slot.  The suit is colored burnt yellow, with a bright red V embroidered on the chest.  It was tailored to her with respect to his old colors, and the embroidered insignia is from his original suit--the only part of him that survived.

Brief Overview

Name: ???

Origin: ???

Species: Human/other

Avoid at all costs

Whilst traversing the stars, beware of this white-haired, crystal-skinned being.  He travels space with no ship, but is faster than an imperial starship and stronger than a red hypergiant.  He will tear your ship apart, whether or not you see him.  The origin of this being is unknown, but humanoid features indicate that he hails from Earth or any of the other habitable bodies in the galaxy.  Lost space logs and survived encounters describe him as a force to be reckoned with, and, according to human-made classifications, he is a superkinetic.  Like many of the well-known telekinetics on Earth, he is able to manipulate rigid matter with his mind.  However, unlike other telekinetics, he has demonstrated the ability to fly, suggesting that he has some control over organic and non-rigid matter.  Another remarkable feat is that he can control matter upwards of a thousand times his own mass and flies between galaxies fairly quick; within a matter of Earth minutes.  Additionally, the nearby gravity of stars has proven to be ineffective against him, as images from bordering satellites have depicted him floating quite close with little to no struggle.

Though, his trademark feature is his incredibly focused technique.  Even the most practiced telekinetics on Earth are unable to come near to this.  With very little effort, he is able to control light photons in their most basic form.  He can cast beams that sear and melt just about anything, as well as deflect incoming lazers. In the brief period of time between each beam, a void of light temporarily occurs, and slowly ripples back into place following the blast.  While he has mostly proven to be dangerous when aggravated, extra precaution should be taken when he is nearby.  He has a chaotic neutral nature, but has also expressed constant boredom.  Shattered remains of comets and other heavenly bodies are often the result of this boredom.  Very rarely, however, has he touched down on civilized bodies, which gives researchers a majority of their information about him.

General Description

Height: ~7’ (images suggest 6’5”+) or 213.36 cm

*Attempts to quantify any other parameters have proven futile

‘Prism’ (as he is most often called) appears to be a young man in his mid-20s, but records of him span for more than thirty years.  He has white hair that shines prismatically in any type of light, and gleaming purple eyes that resemble a cat’s.  This is a possible adaptation of living in space where light can be sparse.  Additionally, descriptions from observers have suggested that his skin is either composed of a crystalline material, or that his limbs are entirely crystal themselves.  This could possibly stipulate another adaptation, allowing him to reflect light from large distances to use to his advantage.  He is most often seen donning a skin-tight white suit made from an unknown material.  It covers him from the neck like a turtleneck, and spans down to his ankles, but lacks sleeves.  There is a single, solid black line on the right side that spans the entire suit, but its purpose is unknown (possibly a zipper?).  He typically forgoes shoes, but has been seen with white, leather-like boots, and wears a dark red belt and a tattered, billowing cape.  On the back of his cape, as well as on his left thigh, is his insignia; a translucent orange, crystal shape.
