HEROES FOR HIRE!

6 pregenerated superheroes for Mythras

This document contains a team of ready-made superheroes, based on the Mythras Imperative rules, and the superpower system outlined in
Agony & Ecstasy. Use the heroes as they are, or tweak them to suit. They represent a range of different powers and different strengths:

Eclipse ~ Torn between Light and Darkness, a powerful young woman who channels the elemental energies of day and night.

Hare ~ Ex-soldier turned speedster who uses her fantastic gifts and fighting skills to keep the criminals of Gemini City on the run.

Golem ~ A brilliant scientist trapped in a swarm of sentient construction nanobots who uses the city itself to battle those that seek to destroy it.

The Mortician ~ Vengeful combat specialist who relies on his wits, and his ability to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies.

Torc ~ On an expedition to find evidence of a legendary warrior of myth, an archeologist discovered a mystic artifact giving him the strength of heroes.

Tortoise ~ Encased in an advanced suit of power armor, a genius expert in cybernetics does his part to clean up the mean streets of the Ossuary.
ECLIPSE
Jeung Jina dreamed of a career in science, but her parents didn't
have enough money to afford the tuition of a prestigious univer-
sity. Jina worked to save money, and eventually found a job assist-
ing a scientist who was considered a crackpot by his colleagues. He
believed solar eclipses contained untapped energy, and developed
a machine that would channel it. When the machine was turned
on, it transpired that the theory of eclipse-bound energy wasn’t
so crazy after all; Jina was bombarded with cosmic radiation and
developed her remarkable abilities.

Lily Alex was more interested in sports than she was in school,
but found a home in the Army alongside her brother Franklin.
She blamed herself when he was critically injured, even though
her quick actions kept him from dying. She volunteered to be the
test subject for one of his experiments to heal his injuries, but
it had the unexpected side effect of giving her amazing running
speed. She uses her gifts to keep her brother safe while he tests his
armoured suit; and, as a soldier, she feels it's her duty to protect
the civilians of Gemini City.

GOLEM
Leonard Loew, an expert in nano-robotics, developed experimen-
tal construction nanites that could take control of nearly any
building material they came into contact with. He was devastated
when he was diagnosed with an incurable form of blood cancer,
and in desperation Leonard transferred his consciousness into the
complex neural network of his bio-organic robots. He learned
to shape the nano-robots into a form that mimicked his original
appearance, and to use their capabilities to create crude bodies
from building materials for a short time. After stopping a bank
robbery, Leonard took up the mantle of hero until he can find a
way back into a real body again.

The MORTICIAN
Over the last year, gang members and mob enforcers in the Ossu-
ary have turned up at local police precincts beaten and terrified,
rambling about a skull-faced patch of shadow that attacked them.
This vigilante was quickly dubbed the Mortician by the media.
Many assume this is some vengeful spirit; but in reality the Mor-
tician is a simple butcher named Elijah Evan. Raised in an local
orphanage, he learned martial arts as a youth, and this kept him
off the streets and out of trouble. When his shop was robbed,
something snapped and he took on the persona of the Mortician
to fight back against the growing evil that was consuming his
neighbourhood.

TORC
Connor Curran grew up listening to his grandfather's talk of the
old myths of Ireland, and was drawn to the tales of Cú Chulainn.
As an adult, his love of mythology led him to a career in archae-
ology, and on a dig outside Belfast he uncovered an ancient burial
mound he believed belonged to the legendary hero. Connor found
a silver neckband and after putting it on discovered he now had the
strength of the great warrior. Upon returning to Gemini City he
decided to put his new found abilities to use defending its people.

Franklin Alex designed robots when other kids were playing with
action figures, and whenever the bullies came calling, he could
count on his sister, Lily, to have his back. When she enlisted in the
Army, he decided it was time to watch her back and joined too. He
planned to use the money from the army for college, but a chance
encounter with an enemy IED detoured his dreams. The damage
to his arms and legs was so severe they needed to be amputated;
but his mind was as sharp as ever and he started devising ways
to regain his mobility. He tried out several inventions before he
developed his Tortoise battle armour and now he uses it to fight
crime as part of what he calls “field testing.”
