@@FractalMoon, In her normal state, Sasha is pretty much normal (strength-wise) just at the peak of her possible physical condition. She works out every day, eats well and keeps herself in best physical shape. She does smoke, but she avoids inhaling too much of the smoke (by blowing out clouds of the smoke instead of inhaling it all) and she doesn't ever finish cigarettes, she typically gets rid of them very shortly after they've been lit. Sunburst triples her physical capabilities, her strength, her speed, etc. Supernova multiplies her sunburst enhanced abilities by fifteen. But that amount of light filling her body and straining her causes issues. First off, as I had described in her bio, it can only be used for three minutes maximum, if she hits the three minute mark, all the light will burn out. This typically ends with her passing out, and upon waking back up, she needs to eat enough food to stuff two grown men before she is feeling herself again. Next, if she halts Supernova before the three minutes are up, then she needs time to recharge, ten minutes typically. Lastly, Supernova causes incredible amounts of pain for her to use, she constantly feels like she is too close to an open flame, and after all is said and done with Supernova, she typically has a nice tan. Supernova is like the story of Icarus. Fly too close to the sun, and your wings will melt, sending you plummeting down to the ground. In regards to Tendency... Originally, the Tendency was black and white. She could see light in people if they were good, darkness if they were evil, and if there was a mix, the greater would be dominant with a core of the opposite. Think like a yin yang. Now, its more of an aura style thing and instead of being black and white good and evil, its instead more of a focus on intentions. Say someone steals a wealthy looking woman's purse. Automatic thought would be that the person would have a dark aura, right? Normally, yes. Now add in the factor that the thief has a family, they have no money and the child is ill. He needs that money desperately in order to not only feed his family, but also to pay for medicine. This does not remove the dark from his tendency, but instead adds it as an accent to a lighter aura. He committed a crime, but with the sole intent of helping his loved ones. Another thing is, Sasha herself has no Tendency. If she looked in a mirror to try and read her Tendency, she would see nothing but herself. There is a reason for this, but its not something I am willing to give away quite yet.

Why do you think Sasha went on about what she has been called? Monster, abomination, freak of nature, these abilities that the superhumans posses, by those who are "normal" they are considered to be unnatural, something that shouldn't be. Especially the ones who are born with it like Sasha was (though it didn't awaken until she was older) Humans fear what they do not understand, and the development of these powers that many of our characters posses could never be understood.

Its been a while since there have been any posts here so I thought I would share something. Today I got my first real G-Rank armor set for 4! Ash Kecha Wacha. Its really fancy and has some nice skills. On top of that, PURPLE! I love purple, its my favorite color, and I finally have a good looking armor set that bears the color.

@@FractalMoon, Oh the things I have in store. Weiss is a really powerful super. I had to put a lot of restrictions on her to keep her from being too op. Like her second damage/speed buff causes her to pass out if she has it active for more than three minutes and if she stops it early, she still needs like, ten minutes before she can do anything relating to her powers. Her original incarnation (back in the very first SHRP that skull mentioned in the first post.) could fly without the dark/light platforms and also had accelerated healing. I have changed her a lot over time, and I am much much happier with her current version than her original.

@@dragon4111, *Weiss dodged the haymaker and grabbed Draco's arm.* "Maybe if you hadn't blatantly insulted me I would have complied with that idea. But nah, you sunk so low as to think waving a gold bar in my face and trying to, what was that? Seduce me? It seemed like you were trying to seduce me. Didn't I tell you earlier today that I was asexual? Im not into you. And I most certainly will not be your 'partner in crime' or any of that shit." *Weiss's grip on Draco's arm grew tighter and she then picked him up and tossed him across the arena causing him to impact on the wall of the dome.* "And then after that you also seemed to imply that you though I killed the Rocketeer." *She walked over to Draco and picked him up off the ground and held him against the wall of the dome.* "Never fucking insult me like that you little fuck." *She then sent a punch into Draco's gut, and a second, and a third, and then tossed him across the arena again.* "Congrats you slimy turd, you have managed to royally piss me off. In fact, you are damn lucky that I decided you aren't even worth the use of Supernova."

@@dragon4111, *Weiss took the hit. She cracked her neck after Draco had backed off and then took off the jacket over her armor. She also reverted the mask back to its normal state, so her short swept back black hair with a curious white patch by her right temple was showing.* "Not bad. I figured I should at least let you get a hit in, since I won't be letting you get anymore." *After saying this the white patch of hair began to seemingly glow, and an aura of light was radiating off of her body.* "I call this sunburst. By filling my body with light energy to the point where its leaking out of my pores, I gain an exponential boost in both my speed and power." *She took a stance that readied her to run towards Draco, and then did so. And she wasn't joking when she said she gained an exponential boost. Before Draco would be able to process the movement Weiss's right fist was in his stomach, followed by a powerful left uppercut into his chin, and a follow up overhead downward right hook to knock him to the ground.* "Heh, maybe I didn't even need to use Sunburst." *She said as she stepped back waiting to see if Draco would get back up.*

@@dragon4111, *Weiss slapped the gold bar back and grabbed Draco's wrist as soon as his hand made contact with her. She looked at him. Her mask, normally black with white eye marks, had inverted. Now white with black eye marks.* "You seem to have a desire to test my resolve. Fine. I'll show you my resolve." *She then proceeded to deck Draco full on in the face, and after using and after using a shadow tendril to open his door latch, shifted her position and kicked him out of the car. She got out and stood over him and held her arm up and light began to emit from it and a solid dome of light formed around them.* "Did you not get the point of what I had said? I was a criminal, I discovered I hated it. Doing the right thing felt good. So that's why I fight scum like you. Because yes, I am greedy. But money isn't what satisfies my greed, I fight for whats right because that's what feels right. When I was a crook I only has control over the shadows. When i started doing good I gained control over the light. That's sign enough for me that this is what I'm meant to do." *She dropped her hand that formed the barrier and slammed her fists together. Light formed around them.* "This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you. My love, my anger, and all of my sorrow." *The light around her fists began to solidify into gauntlets.* "That's a G Gundam reference. And these are my brawlers." *She took a step back giving Draco plenty of room to get up within the dome, then took a fighting pose.* "Come on, you beat me, and I let you go with your gold. If I win, the gold gets returned. Now stand up. Lets see if you are a real man. Or are you scared you'll be beaten by a girl?" (Last post for now. its 5Am and i am sleepy)

Naaaaaaaame drooooooop! @@Skullbuster, Hey Skull, you remember him, yeah? Yeah?

@@dragon4111, *Weiss shrugged and took a cigarette out of the box. She lifted it up to her mask, and stuck it through. The cigarette held its place Weiss had created a space, just small enough for the cigarette to get through. She put the box away and lit it up with a lighter she had also taken from her jacket. She sat there for a minute before replying, and she started with a slight laugh.* "To be honest, you are exactly right. I live in a small apartment bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen/living room. I make a living doing odd jobs and get paid only what my clients think my performance was worth. Here's the thing, Im not going to give you the 'seeing people safe is its own reward' bullshit because if I believed in that I would be healthily rallying for cops to be an unpaid job. I don't do this for any kind of 'its the right thing to do' heck, before I really found my place in this world I was a lot like you. I stole shit and used my abilities to weasel my way out of sticky situations. But one day I realized, it was all hollow. Was I really happy with what I was doing? Not really, not at all in fact. I had things, and stuff, but it felt fake and unearned. I was nineteen, just a kid, didn't have a place yet. One day, not long after I had this realization I got caught. Not by a cop, but by a hero, instead of turning me in though, he took me in and mentored me. Taught me how the world worked, showed me a way I could feel fulfilled." *She sat in silence for a moment as she looked out the windshield.* "Keh," *She chucked.* "Im rambling, I must be getting old. I won't lecture you any longer, but I will have to insist that we take this loot back. I know this is how you get your kicks or some shit, but think about what you do with yourself. A truck full of cash that you just took while nobody was looking, is that really earned? Is it truly fulfilling? Maybe for you it is, everyone works differently and what The Rocketeer instilled into my manner of thinking wont necessarily work on you." *She took her cigarette out and tossed it out the window.* "Seriously though, pop a u-turn or this will get kinda messy. You can't pull the vigilante violence shit again cause we've got a truck full of evidence right here." *She said as she pointed a thumb towards the stacks of gold bars behind them.*

@@dragon4111, *As soon as Weiss saw the taser, shadows congealed around her body and solidified into a thick armor.* "I am fully aware that they are all fine. I saw their light, and in a few unfortunate cases, some shadow. Corpses have no tendency. And that is a very nice taser, its too bad that it won't have any effect against solidified shadows, and I have full coverage going on right now." *She wasn't lying, even the appearance of her suit had changed significantly. Instead of the sleeveless coat and face mask she had before, it now appeared as a thick leather suit that covered her entire body as well as a high cut hooded jacket. It still was rather fashionable though.* "Maybe we should pop a U-turn and head back. Maybe return all these stolen goods? If you behave I'll give you a head start afterwards before I pursue for a vigilante warranted arrest." *She took a pack of cigarettes out from a pocket in the armor's coat and offered one to Draco.*

@@dragon4111, *Weiss, having been suspicious of the day's events and how they had played out, had made her decide to go on the side of caution, and had gone to stake out another bank. It was lucky she had, because she had been lucky enough to notice the masked man she had encountered earlier causing trouble. While he was working on his back and forth she found and got into his vehicle and hid herself in the shadows, making sure to cover herself in a coat of the proper lighting, making her practically invisible. Once she heard the van start up and begin driving she waited a little while and then climbed into the front seat, revealing her presence to Draco.* "Hey bud. Causing trouble again?"

@@Pat.Rio.T., *Weiss smirked beneath her mask.* "Alright. Keep up the good fight, I have no doubt that the events of today are but a harbinger for things yet to come." *Weiss turned to walk of in a separate direction and as she walked, her shadow formed a cloud around her feet and lifted her into the air. Once she was a sufficient height and distance she dispelled her mask and lit up another cigarette. She decided to sit there for a while and look over the city.*

@@Pat.Rio.T., "Ill probably just call you Cap." *Weiss said with an unseen smirk.* "Its about the intentions. Oft times heroes can be labeled as menaces to society. Those of us who are born with powers are oft feared." *She sighed.* "I myself have been called a monster, beast, plague on humanity, even an abomination. But hey, they are just words, and I don't let them affect me. I know what I do is right and that's all that really matters to me." *She pointed at Pat.* "I see lots of light in you as well. Something I don't talk about much is a thing I call tendency. I can see how light or dark a person is. And you are nearly as radiant as the sun."

@@Pat.Rio.T., *Weiss shrugged.* "Its obviously not my real one, but since I started doing this gig I've called myself Weiss. I play hero, and my powers involve light and dark, so the German word for white seemed to fit." *She played with a mass of shadows in her hand.* "Though seeing as how more of my moves involve shadows, maybe a more proper name would have been Schwartz." *She chuckled a bit.* "Not sure I would be able to handle the spaceballs jokes though, so I'm sticking with Weiss."

@@Pat.Rio.T.,@@dragon4111, *Sasha scratched her had again and sighed.* "Alright man, if you think this is a good idea." *Sasha dropped the barrier and released the bind on Draco's legs.* "Lets hope everything turns out okay." @@Midnight_Aurora, "I would love to share my fashion secrets, but to be honest, its something only I have." *She lifted her arm and put her hand on her bicep. Shadows streamed around her arm and formed a band.* "Its light and shadow cloth. My whole hero suit is made of strands of light and shadow densely woven into rather well protective clothing. Works well for me, unfortunately cannot be shared. Could make a fortune out of the stuff if I could."

@@dragon4111, @@Pat.Rio.T., *Weiss saw an egg land next to her and sighed.* "Alrighty, lets get some privacy going on then." *She stood up and raised her hands out and towards the crowd. Light began to gather around the three of them and formed a solid barrier with Weiss at the center.* "There, that should allow us to get some info out of this guy in privacy." *She walked over to Pat.* "My apologies for any misunderstanding. I did not mean give the impression of any distrust towards you." *She ran her hand through her short hair and made three chairs and a table out of light within the barrier. She lifted Draco up and sat him down in one of the chairs, making sure to bind his legs as well. She then sat down in a chair of her own and gestured for Pat to do the same.* "So, shall we talk?"

@@Pat.Rio.T., Apologies friend. I haven't been in one of these in a while, getting a bit excited. Sorry, Weiss wasn't asking Draco if you were being a git, she was asking you if draco was being a git.

@@dragon4111, "Speaking like I want to get laid." *She chuckled.* "Asexual yo, Im not interested in that whole shebang. Its not my bag baby. But thank you for the compliment, its appreciated all the same." *She laughed a little bit.* "Even though, again, you can't see what I look like because of the mask."

@@dragon4111, *Weiss patted Draco on his head and ruffled his hair.* "Do you not understand the concept of masks? Eyes are covered yo, not much effect to that. spray of yours." *She chucked lightly as she pointed at said mask.* "Thought you would understand since you wear one yourself."

@@dragon4111, Weiss has a full mask on yo, her eyes are covered.

@@dragon4111,@@Pat.Rio.T., "Vigilante brutality eh?" *Sasha smirked at Draco and then walked up to Pat.* "I saw him trying to pick his way out of those cuffs. So, what did he do, if you don't mind me asking?" *She crouched next to Draco and put out her cigarette on the ground next to him.* "Or was he just being an obnoxious git?"

@@dragon4111, *Weiss looked down off her cloud to notice a strange man. A strange man fiddling with something. Upon repositioning herself in the sky, she noticed it was a pair of handcuffs. She smiled as lowered herself and snuck up behind him.* "Having trouble there bud?" *She asked him.* "You seem to have gotten yourself into quite a situation."

*Sasha sighed as she walked out of the bank following Terrorsaur's arrest. She created a platform of shadows on the ground and stepped onto it as it rose up into the sky, taking a more cloudy appearance. She sat down on the platform and looked down over the block where combat had just taken place and rolled up the lower part of her mask. She reached into her jacket and pulled out a box of cigarettes and a lighter and lit one up.* "Guess they didn't really need my help after all. So many heroes in this city, always dog pile onto the issues." *She took a puff of her cigarette and blew the smoke into the breeze.*
