Name: Ion

Ion used to be an athlete, and a member of the national soccer (football) team. Married to the world's leading innovator in sustainable electricity, Samuel Rees, she was used to being in the spotlight. But all of that attention brought her beloved Samuel an early demise. He was working on a new technology said to be twice as efficient at producing energy as anything else the world had ever seen, but his rivals wanted it first. He was murdered in cold blood, his research stolen. In the confrontation, a stray bullet impacted a nearby test reactor, and when Ion finally found Samuel breathing his last breaths, the reactor exploded, electrifying Ion's entire body.

She gained powers that allow her to convert her body into an electric current, however, she can only maintain the form as long as she is moving through or towards some sort of conductor and choosing it's direction can prove to be difficult at times. Now, she stays in the spotlight, stopping crimes by day and secretly hunting down her husband's murderers by night.

Name: LU6419 - a.k.a. "Luggy"

Luggy is an old veteran of the Labor Division and has been used in most jobs that require heavy-lifting and muscle.

He has gone through some major repairs, and taken on some good battle woods, but he is the most reliable LU6 unit ever built and that is why he is still in service. All of the other LU6 units have been decomissioned and replaced by newer models, but Luggy, due to his reliability and good friend Gerald Senar, was kept running.

About

Name: Charles Remmington

At an early age, Charles mysteriously lost his mother. Determined to find answers to his mother's disapearance, Charles searched for any clues to her whereabouts. He discovered a collection of infernal texts in a hidden compartment of his mother's study, which led him to spend his teenage years researching the Occult. In well over his head, he dug too deep, accidentally fusing a demon of destruction with his soul. At his worst moments, the demon takes control of him, temporarily transforming Charles into a rage-driven monster. Now he continues his pursuit of knowledge in hopes to uncover the mysteries of his childhood and find a way to remove his troublesome companion.

Stunts

Animal Affinity. Because I’m such a great Pet Detective, I can pick a particular type of animal (cats, rodents, horses or the like). At the start of any scene, if that type of animal could reasonably appear in the location where the scene is set, I may make a check against a difficulty of Fair (+2). If I succeed, there is an animal of this type in the scene. (Adapted from Peter Blake Animal Affinity stunt)

Animal Friend. Because I’m the friend of all living creatures, I can pick a particular type of animal (cats, rodents, horses or the like). I can communicate with animals of this type using a combination of speech and gestures. This doesn’t connote a special level of intelligence on the part of the animals, so the communication may be relatively simple. I also gain +2 to my rolls when interacting socially with animals of this type. (Adapted from Spirit of the Century SRD, 6.28.1)

About

Name: Sam Brown - "Blink"

Sam was bullied heavily in school for being overweight. His father was a hardened man who always believed Sam needed to toughen up, so he sent him to Jujitsu lessons for self defense. Sam was too insecure to try and use martial arts. Due to the bullying getting worse and parents/school not helping, he ran away to live on streets of Sunset City. He gained power when stepping in to stop a thief. After that, he saw the importance of his training and continued to do it on the streets, and lost a ton of weight due to being homeless and working hard. Now he hopes to make a difference, taking down the bullies of the city.

About

Name: Tork

Tork was raised as part of a select group of Turtoids that were chosen to protect Seal of Haaf, an artifact deep in the ocean that was said to protect the oceans from the monsters that lurked beyond it's depths. But Tork doubted it's power and, when he was old enough, he left to find his own path. Years later, he heard news of many attacks from strange sea creatures and he feared the worst. He journeyed back to his village only to find it overrun with sea monsters. He has now taken it upon himself to find the Seal of Haaf and return it to it's rightful place before the oceans are destroyed.

Mechanics

Tork is meant to be used as a defensive player. He excels when taking the Full Defense action in a fight. He can build up tons of advantages this way by defending for himself and allies in the same zone. Then he can spend them all at once, or hand them off to a heavier hitter for some pretty nasty combos.

About

Name: Radcliff: the Great

Radcliff (or Rad for short) used to be a celebrity among wizards and common folk alike. Everyone aspired to be as amazing as Radcliff: The Great, but with all of his fame he also attracted those who wished to abuse it. He was ambushed by a group of powerful magic users. In the fray, his hands were damaged badly, limiting his magical abilities even to this day. The attackers ran off and began impersonating him, no doubt profiting from his fame. Now, as Rad relearns to use magic with his crippled hands, he desires to expose his doppelganger(s) and reclaim his title as Radcliff: The Great.

I’ve Read about That!: You’ve read hundreds—if not thousands—of books on a wide variety of topics. You can spend a fate point to use Lore in place of any other skill for one roll or exchange, provided you can justify having read about the action you’re attempting.
