Character notes for "A Response to Extreme Events"
These are the character notes for "A Response to Extreme Events."
Antimatter -- Lawrence Cunningham is a high school graduate with a keen interest in science. He has a wiry build, pale skin, and pale blue eyes. He has just a hint of beard at the end of his chin. Born with straight black hair, it turned a radiant starlit silver after the accident. He used to dye it black, but now typically leaves it silver. It currently reaches his elbows. Lawrence lives with his mother in Omaha, Nebraska. His father has been removed from their home for domestic violence, and Lawrence still has very mixed feelings about that. They don't have much money.
Lawrence is comfortably gay, and growing closer to his boyfriend Stalwart Stan. A friendly acquaintance of his is Han Gordon from the chess club. Lawrence's handle on BlackSheep is Positron, and he also writes Henrietta Carpenter fanfic under the handle Esmerelda Tablet. Antimatter is more superhero than supervillain, due to his association with Stalwart Stan; they often patrol together.
Origin: Determined to win the science fair, Lawrence attempted to create a new universe inside a cola bottle. It blew up. The accident left him with superpowers, but no science fair entry, and everyone laughed at him.
Uniform: All white, including the hat, with a black lab coat thrown over the top and a black-and-white atom patch on the chest; and goggles to obscure his face.
Qualities: Master (+6) Intelligence, Good (+2) Agility, Good (+2) Chess Strategy, Good (+2) Gender Studies, Good (+2) Gizmology, Good (+2) Writer
Poor (-2) Such a Dork
Powers: Expert (+4) Manipulate Physics (Signature Stunts: Greater Than Equal Reaction, Immovable Object, Irresistible Force, Neutralize Mass, Remove Friction; Speed-Healing, Spin-Off Stunts: Energy Transfer, Neutralize Weapon, Thicken Air)
Motivation: Mind over matter.
Stalwart Stan -- Stanley Wood is a high school graduate with a gallant personality, although some people think he's too good to be true. He has a sculptured body with light brown hair and hazel eyes. His naturally tan skin darkens further under the sun. Stan is the son of Stuart and Sharon Wood. He is the older brother of Stephanie, Sloane, and Susie. He is the nephew of Gabriel and Jenna Kay and older cousin of Huckleberry and Mackenzie; and related to Mason and Miranda Kay, who are about a year older than him. Stan is bisexual, with a previous girlfriend Angelica Young and current boyfriend Antimatter (Lawrence Cunningham). His scouting friends include Tycho "Tyke" Norris and Maurice Stevenson.
Stan and his family live in Omaha, Nebraska. He has played several different sports at school, retired inside linebacker and captain of the football team, and increasingly drawn to chess. Math is challenging, but Lawrence helps him with it. Stan has gone from one part-time job to another, because he wants to be industrious, but has lost so many for hero-related reasons that he's largely given up on that. He spends a lot of time patrolling Omaha with Antimatter to deal with supervillains and smaller problems, particularly in the Gene Leahy Mall and other downtown areas.
Origin: His scouting troop got lost in the woods during terrible weather, everyone afraid they might die. Stan found a weird fetish that gave him superpowers, enabling him to call for help and save the day. He earned the Honor Medal for saving lives at considerable risk to himself.
Uniform: Tan shirt and trousers reminiscent of a boy scout uniform but without insignia, plus a matching safari hat with a clingy mask obscuring the top half of his face.
Qualities: Master (+6) Such a Boy Scout, Good (+2) Athletic, Good (+2) Citizen, Good (+2) Handsome, Good (+2) Strategic Thinking
Poor (-2) Math Is Hard
Powers: Average (0) Moral Compass
Fetish: Good (+2) Invulnerability, Average (0) Communicator, Average (0) Jump, Average (0) Super-Strength
Limitation: All fetish powers require the fetish to use; Stanley wears it around his neck.
Motivation: Be prepared to help those in need.
Rutger Jensen -- He has pinkish fair skin, hazel eyes, and dark hair buzzed short. He wears glasses. He is tall and sturdy. He is 55 years old in 2015. Rutger serves as a police officer in Omaha, Nebraska. He customarily walks the downtown beat. His stamina and unflappable approach to problems make him an asset on the job. Rutger is married with two sons (28, 25) and two daughters (20, 18). As a hobby, he enjoys tabletop games that rely on tactics and strategy, anything from wargames to chess.
Qualities: Good (+2) Cop, Good (+2) Father, Good (+2) Tactics and Strategy, Good (+2) Stamina, Good (+2) Unflappable
Poor (-2) Needs Glasses

The one for the goggles got me a message about not being able to open because of linking from the wrong url or something (in other words, it's "trapped" to prevent remote linking)
