Mutants and Masterminds One Shot

Setting

The setting is Seattle, WA - a brand-new tower on South Lake Union whose top floor houses a rather nontraditional enterprise...

Characters

Adam Reyes, aka Helios - Adam woke up in the Wenatchee forest, naked, with no memory of his past and incredible abilities. He spent several years participating in an Air Force research program, and has settled in Seattle to kick off something called "Project Aegis". He's adopted the alias Helios due to the blinding halo of light that surrounds him when his abilities are in use. (Think Superman, or, especially, Apollo from the Authority)

Charles Acton, aka The Thorn - There's a story among the criminal underworld in Los Angeles, that if you harm the innocent or the downtrodden, that a crazy bum who calls himself the Thorn will hunt you down and make you pay, leaving a single red rose at the scene. The truth is that Charles Acton, ex-special forces, legal scholar, ex-judge, and noted vagrant, long ago decided to correct the criminal justice system's faults. He's hitchiked his way up to Seattle for reasons unknown to all but him. Charles is a fearsome hand-to-hand combatant, and a fearsome intellectual adversary as well.

Jonathan DeLaurenti, a wealthy banker, gambler, and noted game theorist. Author of several self-help books, such as "Working Your Way Into Luck" and "Lucking in to Success". The coolest stuff seems to happen to this guy, over and over - what are the odds of that?

Mister Gray, a mysterious and enigmatic figure, and likely the only thing tying the other characters together. While his identity is unclear, is influence is undeniable.

Any of the above characters aside from Mister Gray are selectable for the one-shot.
