Cascade
March 23rd, 2008 | 
Author: Name: Haley Greer
Appearance: Haley is a 21 year old, white female with shoulder-length brown hair and green eyes. She is 5’5″. Her costume consists of a combination of workout clothes and mail-order armor. Her armor includes a bulletproof vest, shin and forearm guards, elbow and knee pads, & a pair of steel-toed work boots. Her one customized addition is a tinted-visored, close-fitting hockey helmet that she has covered in a thin layer of stone.
Known Talent Abilities: Cascade has the ability to create and control viscous pseudopods of stone and earth. She is able to use this power in a variety of manners.
Cascade can cause stone to rise up and bind a person in place or strike them.
Stone pillars also rise out to protect Cascade, blocking incoming attacks.
Cascade also uses her control of stone to propel herself rapidly from place to place. She does this by causing a pillar to rise suddenly underneath her, throwing her in her desired direction. From her landing point, another pseudopod will rise up and catch Cascade and lower her to the ground or propel her further. Using this method, Cascade has been clocked moving at speeds of 60 mph. The drawback of this method is that it leaves a clear trail of pillars and dents in the stone.
One of Cascade’s favorite tricks is to project stone out from a skyscraper and ride it like a private elevator to the top of the building.

Hewn the Living Statue
Name: Unknown
Appearance: Hewn is an animated statue. His appearance is that of a 7’0″ roughly carved humanoid made of granite. His facial features are crudely shaped, but his hands appear to be finely crafted. He has a voice that sounds like the grinding of gravel.
Known Talent Abilities: Hewn is superhumanly strong, having demonstrated the ability to lift 1,600 lbs. Hewn’s strength appears to be somewhat uncontrollable. He is unable to perform fine manipulations or use less than his full strength when required.
His body is also incredibly resistant to damage. Small arms fire at the most takes off chips of rock and leaves scratches. Hewn appears to need neither air nor food.
Finally, Hewn has been observed to have some type of remote viewing or precognitive abilities. Usually this occurs after Hewn has entered a stasis or rest period. During these periods he is unable to be roused by outside stimuli, but when he comes awake he often has knowledge of events far distant to his current location.
History: Florida politics are a mean and dirty business, but a man can make a small fortune if he’s willing to sell his soul. Mark Firberg was such a man. Utilizing connections he made in business school, Mark served as an operative for the Republican Party. He was a part of every quasi-legal fund raiser and dirty trick pulled by the party to control the Sunshine State.
In the year 2000, Mark was one of the ‘consultants’ paid to remove thousands of African-Americans and low-income voters from the rolls under bogus pretenses. These voting blocs tended to vote Democratic. Denying them the ability to vote was seen as a way to insure a Republican victory in a tightly contested election. No one could predict the chaos that followed the voting in Florida.
