Maze's Men (and women)

These are Mr. Maze's henchmen/minions/etc. Basically the ones that do the dirty work for him! There will be NPCs probably mostly but I'm extremely open to people making characters and being in his gang for at least a time. Maze has the resources to strengthen every superhuman to their absolute heights with modern technology that his own scientists develop. The only downside is that, his henchmen really don't have much time to train and work on their skills because they are always on the move. While Maze can seem to be in all the four corners of the world at once, his minions are basically alone.

Anyways! Here begins Maze's NPC Minions! (As long as they are accepted!)

===POWERS===

Powers:

Iron Skin-Rail is one of a few of Maze's henchmen that have no natural "enhanced abilities". When he was discovered by Maze, he was a simple street rat with certain acrobatic skills. When offered a life of riches, he quickly accepted and was taken into the operating room. An experimental procedure was performed by Maze's top surgeons and doctors. It consisted of inserting layers of very strong metals under Remmy's epidermis. This causes his punches to be extra strong. He can easily punch through stone and dent metal. He also is very resistant to bullets and other hits. His hits also are usually left with a gong sound.

Weaknesses:

His head is not interlined with metal, so he wears a metal mask to protect his head. If his mask is knocked off, he can easily be finished, just like a regular human.

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Family: None for certain
Place of Origin: Paris, France
Current City: Jump City (definitely)
History:
Remmy was born in an orphanage in an outlying community near Paris. It is unknown for certain who Remmy's parents were but, he was left with a full name documented: Xenophilus Remus Drake. He thoroughly hated being an orphan. He had a few friends, but, he never really liked being around them. Unless someone could offer him something, he thought they were useless and really all that the orphans had were each other. The only thing that Remmy really had going for him was that he was fast. It made him popular for whenever the kids would want to play any sports at the playground. He was usually picked first and few could keep up with him. Nonetheless, he still really disliked being at the orphanage, so, when he was twelve, he ran away.

The orphanage really didn't pursue looking for him since they didn't have the resources or much of a drive. He spent four years on the streets, repeatedly getting in trouble with the Paris officials over theft, but, he rarely go caught. At this time, he started going under the alias Ricardo so that he wouldn't get sent back to the orphanage if caught. During this time he learned how to free run and pickpocket very proficiently.

Despite becoming one of the best pickpockets in Paris, he was still just a pickpocket. He lived in an alley way, usually wouldn't have much to eat and his best friend was a stray cat that he had named Milo. Strangely enough, one day, a man in a maroon suit coat walked past his alley way. He looked very well to do, so Remmy decided to try to pickpocket him. He walked behind him silently for a few blocks as he had practiced, blending in with the rest of the crowd. Eventually, he found his shot, after the man had checked his pocket watch. He bumped into the man and muttered, "Excuse me..." as he slipped his wallet into his own pocket. Strangely enough, the man stopped immediately after, turned to look at the boy and replied, "It is truly no problem!" with a large toothless grin. Remmy couldn't see the man's eyes as he seemed to completely avoid eye contact.

Before Remmy could say anything more, the man had turned the corner and disappeared into the crowd. Quickly, he forgot about the man though because, after checking the wallet, he found 600 Euros! He had never had a bigger score from a simple pickpocket! Extremely excited, he spent it all very quickly, mostly on food but also a lot on nicer clothes since he was basically wearing rags now. Before long, he was down to only 20 Euros. It was late and he saw an ominous hat shoppe open late with nearly no one around. He decided to check it out. After a moment, he saw a hat that he liked enough and purchased it. After checking the receipt though, it didn't say what the exchange was, it read the following:


Remmy quickly turned back to the hat shop and realized that it was a terribly run down building rather than the well lit attractive shop he had seen a moment ago. He stood in confusion as the frying pan that he had thought to be a hat drooped off his head. All he could think was that he didn't want to be a street rat and anything could be better than how he was now. He slowly walked back into the warehouse, placed the frying pan on the ground and looked around slowly. He noticed a flashing old computer and moved towards it to make out what it said.

It simply read,


Barely having time to finish reading, he blacked out after behind hit behind the head. He woke up, days later, in Maze's mansion in Bedrule, Scotland. He read another note stating what had happened to him, where he was and it simply said that he was now employed by Mr. Maze. If he was to ever disobey him, he would be found back in Paris, under the same situation that he was before meeting Maze. It also stated his first mission, he was to go and kidnap a hero in Russia, with specific instructions as to how to do it.

Since then, Remmy or, as Maze and other's in the business call him 'Rail', has been a very loyal and effective henchman. He has been living in luxury and has never looked back.

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Family: Phyllius (brother, she doesn't know he exists)
Place of Origin: Adriakka (a planet in a distant galaxy)
Current City: Steel City
History:
Adriakka. An ice cold planet on the periphery of the Filtix galaxy, home of the Adriakkans. Adriakkans are a very powerful race when on their home planet since their planet can drop to negative five hundred degrees Fahrenheit. There, the inhabitants have jobs, similar to those on Earth, the difference is that the planet is united under one symbol and not constantly at war with itself. It is making great advancements with technology and with learning more about its own history. They, like Earth, have strange pyramids near its own equator. Astith and Froton, a married couple, are world renowned archaeologists. They left to experiment on what the pyramids were truly for. They brought with them, a strange element that they discovered from the far northern hemisphere. They believed that it would have an interesting effect if they performed the correct ceremonies. After performing the ceremony, they were teleported thousands of light years away to our own Earth!

Immediately after landing in Egypt, Froton, being a male and more susceptible to the effects of heat, died upon landing. Without another proficient magician, Astith could not complete the ceremony, so, she made her way to colder climate and to possibly find another magician on this strange world that could help. Eventually she found safety in Russia. She found no magicians there so, she decided to rest because she felt incredibly tired for some reason. After a few months, the reason became evident: she was pregnant! She desperately tried to make it back home, but found no way and eventually hit labor in Russia.

Human doctors were incredibly ignorant and untrained as to the proper way to deliver an Adriakkan, so, Astith died upon the delivery of the baby. The doctors had no idea were to put the baby or who to give it two, so, one of the doctors took her in and raised her as her own daughter.

Dr. Augustine was convinced that the child was an Angel because of how she blessed her life, so, that is what she usually called her. As Angel grew up, they were both shocked to find that she could fly! This added more to the belief that she was truly an angel. On her thirteenth birthday, Angel told her mother that she thought that she was here for a greater purpose and her mother agreed. Angel spent a few years as a 'superhero' for Russia. Soon after, however, her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died shortly after... Angel was heart broken so she left Russia for the first time in her life. The anger inside her made her realize her other power that she quickly called 'blue fire'. She is convinced that it is her mother's soul that is still with her and helps her.

One day, in Britain, she saw a picture of Mr. Maze on the most wanted list and instantly fell in love. (Or at least she thought she was in love.) She sought Maze out and made it incredibly public that she was looking for him. At first Maze thought it was because she was going to try and kill him or something, but, eventually he took the bait. He sent Rail to meet with her and Rail explained his situation. Angel decided that it was her destiny to be with Maze so she decided to sign up with them. She has still never even seen Maze face to face, but, she loyally follows his every order. Now she is in Steel City to help Maze pursue his list corrections.

"Stengths: Seducing enemies"

That just made my day. :> Another great character; I especially like her very original past. But before I bestow my Comic of Approval, could you clarify what "a strong push of cold" means for her assailant? Like, is it a literal push that knocks a person back, just kind of startles them, freezes their insides *cough*, etc? After that, I do believe we have yet another keeper. ;D

Alright! I think I've edited to be more specific with that power. Let me know if it's shiny

And one more! (For now)


Full Name: Alexander Frederick Turnbull
Codename: Blink
Nickname(s): Xander!
Alias(es): None
Age: 18
Birth date: 12/4/1992
Classification: Altered Human
Affiliation: Maze's Henchmen



Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Gray or Red or Green or Blue or Yellow or Brown
Height: 6'3''
Weight: 152 lbs
Other: Sometimes he can be seen with a slight goatee going on if he has been 'on the road' for quite some time.

===POWERS===

Powers:

• Laser Vision-His eyes can shoot out red hot lasers when he turns his eyes red. He has to concentrate a lot to make the lasers extremely lethal. The range of the lasers is about the length of a football field, but, the further away, the worse his aim is. If a person is hit with the ray, it would be similar to if a person was scratched by a knife. The hit is slightly thicker than a blade.
  
  
• Night Vision-His eyes turn green when he wants to see in the night. Basically night vision goggles except no goggles! Simple enough???
  
  
• X-Ray Vision-His eyes change to blue when he wants to see through walls or the anatomy of a person. Yep, Superman style...pretty self explanatory!
  
  
• Magnified Vision-His eyes change to yellow when he needs to see something far away. It is basically like binoculars but he can change ranges from short range to very very long range. He can basically see from one side of a city over to the other as long as nothing is blocking his vision.
  
  
• Regular Vision-His eyes turn brown when he turns to normal vision. Since he is normally blind, he can switch vision to just have regular sight. He does not gain back energy from this but he doesn't lose any energy.
  
  
• No Vision-His eyes turn gray when he is out of energy. He will be blind at this time.

Weaknesses:

• He is as fragile as any other human being and is easily knocked out if someone sought to try.
  
• All of his visions take energy and, when he is drained of energy, he's blind! Just like how he was before he met Mr. Maze.
  
• He is 'in love' with Solstice, another one of Maze's henchmen...it can sometimes distract him.
  
• He switches eye sights with blinks.

===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===

Family:

• Michael Christopher Turnbull (Father)-52
  
• Katherine Victoria Turnbull (Mother)-48
  
• Derrick Jeremy Turnbull (Brother)-14

Place of Origin: London, England
Current City: Jump City
History:
Alexander Frederick Turnbull was born to a happy average, middle class, British family in London, England. He was a normal boy at birth until, when he was about seven, he was goofing around with some neighborhood kids and was playing soccer in an alleyway. He was supposed to be watching his little brother but was instead, competing with his friends against some jerks. It was definitely a grudge match and he couldn't go through with seeing them lose. So, he made a miracle shot at a last minute goal, but, he missed. He actually hit a window and the shards of glass fell into the alley all over the field. They chose to continue the game, but, Alex slipped on some glass and the shards went into his eyes. He went to hospital and the doctors did everything that they could but, he was going to be blind for the rest of his life...

After that incident, Alex's parents pulled him out of school, he was home schooled and basically stayed away from everyone his age since then. His brother Derrick then started to shine in school and on the futbol pitch. He was the pride of the family and Alex was all but forgotten in the family. Although some thought that Alex was bitter, he truly couldn't be more happy for his brother. But, once he turned 18, he decided that he wanted to find his own way in the world. After literally months of arguing, his parents finally let him leave the house. By now, his hearing was good enough to let him walk around decently and he also had a cane to help guide himself.

Although he really wanted to prove he didn't need help, after a week, all he had accomplished was ordering food by himself and buying some new CD's. He decided that he probably had better make his way back home when, late at night, after having some Chinese take-out, he took a wrong turn, while listening to his iPod rather than the road. He ended up in an alleyway, walking all the way to the end, he didn't realize it until he hit the brick wall. He took off his head phones and tried to reconfigure where he was when, suddenly, he was surrounded by a bunch of street thugs. They all wanted his iPod and all the money that he had on him, but, he refused. He tried to put up a fight but...well...he's sort of blind...

When he thought he was going to get knocked out for good, he heard a swoop of air and a lot of yelps from the thugs. A moment later, he heard a new set of feet hit the alleyway. It sounded almost like high heels. The girl handed him back his iPod and wallet and introduced herself as Angel. She said that she couldn't very well just let a bunch of guys beat up a blind dude. She said that she might be like an arch angel but, right when she was going to leave, Alex felt like he fell in love with her so, since he really didn't have much else, he asked to go with her.

Although she was confused, she decided to take him with her to Bedrule, the reason why she was in Great Britain. She was supposed to meet at her boss's, Mr. Maze's, mansion to receive her next orders. She spoke to a man that didn't seem to really exist because Alex couldn't hear any footsteps, but the invisible man said that he could find a place for Alex in the scheme of things as long as he would promise to follow whatever Maze said. Alex reluctantly agreed and...that's all he remembered from when he was blind...

His greatest weakness became his greatest strength. Maze's doctors and scientists got together and gave Alex new eyes. Many new eyes actually. Since then, Alex was known as Blink and he has tried to find the Angel that saved his life again. Henchmen don't work with each other but, he jumped at the chance to go to America, where he knew Angel would be, to help with one of Maze's greatest pursuits.

Alright! Thanks so much Honest! I think I'm going to stop at three henchmen for now...just because it's kind of my thing...but I may add more later! I think I'm ready to start some of these kidnappings...mwahahahaha!!!
