Ajax J. Allen - Nightmare(view spoiler)[
Name: Ajax Jael Allen
Nicknames: AJ
Villain Name: Nightmare
Age: 101
Gender: M
Birthday: July 18, 1918
Side: Evil
Powers:
Appearance: Ajax has shaggy, black-brown hair that is usually unkempt and reaches down to a little past his chin. He sometimes smooths it all back into a small braid when he feels like it, but usually he just lets it do whatever it wants. His eyes are a murky black with a few gold flecks near the pupils, and sometimes you can see shadows dancing in his eyes. It’s rumored that they even tell stories of mystical lore from the past, but no one knows for sure. His height is about 5’10 and a half, and he has a strong, muscular build. He has well-muscled arms, abs, and legs and has large hands and feet as well. His skin is evenly tanned, and he almost has a more ruddy complexion, his skin actually being closer in tone to olive though. He’s a bit more stockily built with lean, muscular legs and a proportional torso and legs. His bottom lip is slightly bigger than his top one, and he has high cheekbones and sharp facial features. He also has a slightly chiseled jaw and long, dark eyelashes that any girl would envy. Most of his skin is rough and calloused, but the skin on his face and lower back is actually very soft and gentle, like running your fingers through the silky fur of a cat. However, he does have a bit of stubble around his chin, and he normally only shaves it when it gets bad. His body is marred with scars all over, especially on his upper back, chest, abs, and shoulders. He has a small scar above his left eyebrow and another one near the right corner of his mouth. Two, large scars crisscross on his back, and a multitude of shorter ones reside in the skin over his abs and stomach. In flowing script, he has the phrase ‘Semper Fi’ (always faithful) tattooed on the inside of his right forearm, and the word ‘Umbra’ tattooed in cursive on his lower back. His third tattoo is a black lightning bolt on the back of his left shoulder, and his fourth and last tattoo is a crescent moon on the back of his right shoulder with the words ‘Lunae lumen’ (moonlight) in gorgeous script beneath the tattoo.
Ajax much prefers to wear comfy and maneuverable clothing, his favorites being sweatpants and loose T-shirts or tank tops that show off his well-muscled arms, since he can be a bit of a show-off. His favorite shirt is a worn, gray T-shirt that looks more than a little rag-tag with patches of different cloths mending the parts where holes have been ripped in it and a blue and gray plaid, flannel shirt over it that also looks a little worn with mismatched and missing buttons on the front. He usually wears either tennis shoes or a heavy pair of black combat boots with gray fur linings and brass buckles with his outfits. He also has his left ear pierced and always wears a small, silver hoop earring through it. The only other pieces of jewelry he wears are a silver band ring with little onyxes set into it around his right middle finger, a silver chain around his neck with a gold dream-catcher charm with blue, black, gold, and gray feathers, and black skull ring on his left index finger.

Rose V. Eldritch ~ Part One(view spoiler)[
Name: Rose Velika Eldritch
Nicknames: Rosie (she hates this nickname; only family may use it… at their own risk)
Villain Name:
Age: 17
Gender: F
Birthday: August 28, 2002
Side: Evil
Powers:
Enhanced Senses: Rose has enhanced hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch. She can hear frequencies that others can’t, distinguish between more shades of colors, see better in the dark, detect poisons and other substances on her tongue, smell things too faint for others to pick up on, and differentiate between tactile sensations that others can’t.
Shapeshift: She can shift into an owl and can change some details about her physical appearance like her eye color, skin tone, and hair color at will.
Diamond Skin: She can morph her skin into diamond.
The weaknesses of these powers are described below in ‘Weaknesses.’
Appearance: Rose has dirty blonde with strands of gold and lighter blonde mixed in throughout, and her gently, rippling waves of hair fall down to her shoulder blades. Her wide, solemn eyes are light gray with tiny flecks of darker gray speckled throughout the irises, but she is never seen without a pair of tinted sunglasses on so that no one can see them. She has a slim, almost delicate looking figure and a porcelain complexion. Although she has little to no curves, she has a graceful frame, and she has a sophisticated and mysterious air about her. She always carries herself with excellent posture, which tends to make her appear slightly condescending and conceited, and her height is just a little under 5’8. She has slender, long fingers and hands with short, neatly trimmed fingernails and high cheekbones. Her facial features are not especially sharp, but they’re not very round either. She has a long neck, torso, and legs, and her feet are rather small, even for her height. She doesn’t have an overabundance of muscle and honestly almost looks like a pale flower, but she has taught more than one person before that looks can be deceiving. She has a few scars on her back, stomach, and thighs and a little one just below her left eyebrow from various encounters with other supers, and she also has a small owl tattoo on her right shoulder blade.
Since she prefers to move about invisible and unnoticed, her wardrobe isn’t much to look at. The vast majority of her clothes are comfortable and made of breathable cotton to accommodate her enhanced tactile sensitivities and are easy to maneuver in. She wears only neutral or dark colors to blend in like a chamaeleon wherever she is and loves to wear leggings, sweatpants, t-shirts, and fuzzy socks when she’s in the privacy of her own room. Around everyone else, she wears earthy tones and black, donning dark leggings, long-sleeved shirts, gloves, boots, tinted sunglasses, and a leather choker. Still, there are some occasions that require her to dress up, and if she puts effort into it, she can have quite the dramatic effect. Anytime she is required to do something for the family, she wears mostly black with either her tinted sunglasses or a masquerade mask.
Personality: Rose is brilliant. She may just be the greatest mind of the century. The problem? She’s a psychopath. She uses her extraordinary mind for evil and destruction and has never met someone even close to her intellectual capabilities. Because of this, she has developed a little bit of an ego, but she is careful to always keep it in check. There may not be anyone who could rival her knowledge and intellect, but she knows even if her ego is justified, it could still be her downfall. Fortunately, she doesn’t have to try hard to fight the influence of her ego; her parents constantly criticize and put her down, effectively tearing it apart.
Her observation skills are nearly unparalleled, and she can remember even the tiniest details. Because of this, she excels at reading body language and the little tics people try to hide. Just by having a conversation with someone, she can discern a lot of things about them, like desires, fears, personality traits, and thinking patterns, without the person ever mentioning them. Since she can read body language so well, she can also imitate it excellently, playing character after character like a seasoned actress. No one can sell a lie or call a bluff quite like Rose.
She is a master at manipulating people and has a silver tongue, able to twist words every which way to persuade anyone she chooses to do something or think differently. She’s so incredibly subtle that her victims never fully realize what she’s up to, and if they ever do, it’s too late at that point. Rose knows how to poke and prod at people to expose their weaknesses, and she’s spent years studying psychology and sociology to better herself.
Rose is an avid reader and consequently has developed an encyclopedic knowledge on various topics. She is always learning and analyzing new information to add the metaphorical library in her head, which makes her even more dangerous. Facing her a second time is like facing an entirely different person. She is constantly experimenting with her methods, both old and new, to figure out which ones work best in which situations. Of course, these experiments add only a general guidance. She has learned that no one is exactly the same as another, though there are definitely patterns that repeat, and she also relies on instinct and observation to determine the best course of action.
She mostly likes to keep to herself and wears an aloof, distant mask around almost everyone. She’s been described frequently as eccentric, strange, eerie, mysterious, and an enigma. Not even her own family members understand her; they just know that she’s deviously brilliant. She loves chess, puzzles, and mind games, though most people in her family or those who work for her family know better than to play games with her. She hardly ever loses, but what’s actually a little disturbing is the fact that if she loses, she wanted to lose. Either way, you can’t win against her.
She has a very annoying habit of finding out people’s secrets and being especially nosy, which has gotten her into trouble more than once. Many of her physical scars come from incidents like that where she knew too much for her own good. She’s also very stealthy and good at being invisible, the perfect candidate to steal information from her family’s enemies.
As a psychopath, she has almost no emotional attachments to anyone or anything. Everything is disposable to her once it’s served its purpose. Why keep an old broom when you have a new vacuum cleaner? It’s simply neater that way, and Rose loves organization. She hates chaos with a passion; she prefers to think strictly in black and white with little gray in between.
She has a tight leash on her emotions and never genuinely smiles or laughs. It’s always choreographed to precise measurements. It’s challenging to make her lose her temper, which will cause her to be reckless, but if you know what to say and which buttons to push, it’s not quite so difficult. She has a long history of rejection and being put down; bring that up might be enough to make her lose control or at least make her agitated, losing her grip a little on her usual distant persona.
Rose loves nothing more than a challenge. Anyone who has taunted her quickly learned not to if they wanted to get away with something. Telling Rose she can’t do something just makes her even more determined. She has an exceptionally strong will and is always cool and collected no matter what the situation. She knows how to think and talk her way out of anything, even when someone has a gun pointed to her head.
She loves all kinds of games where she can exercise and improve her mental prowess, especially chess. She can almost never resist the opportunity to best someone else using her own mind, and it is one of her points of weakness.
Strengths: Rose’s mind is incredible. She’s always five steps ahead of everyone else. She also has an exceptionally strong will and a silver tongue. She can find patterns and note details that others miss, and her deduction skills are nothing short of phenomenal.
She might just know human behavior better than God and uses that knowledge to manipulate people for her own purposes. She’s so subtle that hardly anyone ever realizes they’re being manipulated. She’s a master at getting people to think they came up with an idea themselves that was actually hers.
Weaknesses: Rose’s enhanced senses do not have an on/off switch. They are enhanced all the time, so loud noises, bright lights, pungent smells and tastes, and rough materials bother her far more than other people.
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and in Rose’s case, this literally true. Anyone can see exactly what she is feeling if they look into her eyes. This is why she always wears tinted sunglasses or something that will hide her eyes from everyone else.
She may have a truly astonishing mind, but physically she is very weak. Her magic cannot be used effectively offensively, and her defense is weak. She mostly relies on her mind to get her out of dangerous situations, but it is one of the only strategies she has. At some point, it will backfire on her.

Family:
Father: Valerian Eldritch
Mother: Atalanta Eldritch
Sister: Phaedra Eldritch
History: Rose’s family has been in control of the super-mafia, a mafia made up of super villains, for generations. Their general purposes are to terrorize and bring down the superheroes, accumulate more wealth, and remain in control of the city with an iron grip through means such as threats, blackmail, and assassinations. No one in the Eldritch family has been convicted for anything; their reach extends too deep, and they have some of the best lawyers in the city on retainer. They’re too careful to be caught, but vigilante superheroes are still a concern and may actually pose a greater problem than avoiding the law. Luckily, the mafia has plenty of super villains in its employ to even the playing field against the superheroes. The mafia also has normal people who work for them that can take the falls for other mafia or family members who are more valuable, especially supers.
Like her mother and siblings, Rose was born with supernatural abilities. The only person without such powers is her father. Her mother, Atalanta, was actually the one who inherited control of the mafia. Valerian was just a normal person she married to ensure that control of the mafia remained in the family. Atalanta keeps her abilities secret, even from her own family, but it’s no secret that she’s a little unhinged. Valerian is able to keep her in check, stabilizing the mafia leadership and his own family.
For most of her life, Rose was ignored and treated as inferior. Neither of her parents once thought about her; they were so busy with their other, older children that Rose was almost always forgotten. As a small child she spent more time with her nurses, tutors, and bodyguards than with her parents and other family members. Her tutors called her ‘gifted’ since she was able to understand concepts that most children her age were incapable of learning, but they all agreed that something about Rose was a little… off. When her teachers tried to inform Atalanta and Valerian about it, the mafia leaders brushed it off, telling them that Rose just wasn’t being challenged enough and that she was merely bored. Her tutors eventually gave up trying to keep her parents informed of her academic progress and strange behaviors

History: Born July 4th to Elizabeth and Arthur Niles, Tom grew up in a huge house with his rather wealthy parents and nine siblings. Most of his baby or toddler years were spent with Hannah and Olivia, the only siblings older than he. Apparently, both his sisters loved the idea of having a little brother, but Tom wasn’t necessarily amused. As a kid, most of his interests were looking at card decks, watching tv, or listening to music in his room. He wasn’t exactly the most outdoorsy kid.
When he turned five, he was enrolled in the private school his sisters had been going to since they were his age. They were definitely not as young as him, but he did pretty well besides the people. As a general rule, Tom ignored most of the kids his age. Making friends did not come naturally to him, and most of the time he wanted to be alone. In class, he was close to silent, never giving any indication that he was paying attention. Like the overly concerned people they were, his parents figured something was wrong since he was nothing like his bubbly sisters, but they were soon absorbed with other problems.
Baxter Niles arrived that October, and it took forever for Tom to get used to the screaming kid that everybody ran to and smiled over practically every second of the day. Eventually, Tom adapted and went back to his normal lifestyle, completely ignoring the new baby.
At around eight years old, Elizabeth and Arthur decided that he should be allowed to go to some of their fancy parties and operas and whatever else they did as part of the wealthy community. Tom had never expressed any interest in these events whatsoever, but soon he was dressed up in a suit and ready to go to some musical that would probably bore him to death. Well, while he actually enjoyed the musical, or more like he enjoyed making fun of it, he kept fidgeting. His parents figured musicals weren’t for him, but to him and his two older sisters to the next kid-friendly, corporate party. Once again, he was dressed up in the uncomfortable, but supposedly “adorable” suit, paraded around his father’s business partners and associates, then told to sit in a corner with his sisters and make sure he behaved. Of course, Tom was about to do anything but sit in a corner with his sisters. He actually went up to the bar and asked the bartender for a drink, which was how he learned about alchohol, and then after that he wandered around with a Sprite. When it was finally time to go home, Tom was exhausted and fell asleep in his suit.
After another two years of this, Benjamin was born. Tom was ten years old at the time, and five year old Baxter was just starting to become actually annoying. That was probably why Tom hated Ben’s arrival a lot more. Yet again, here was another dumb kid who people would obsess over, but more than that it meant relatives and friends of his parents coming to visit, and sometimes even staying if they lived far away. Sometimes his Uncle George, Aunt Victoria, or Uncle Alan would come up and bug him, but for the most part, they left him alone. During this period of time, Tom holed up in his room with his favorite movies and rock music. He eventually came to the conclusion that his parents were selfish and self-absorbed, and all he knew was that he didn’t want to be like them. It was in his teen years that he actually became more rebellious. He wore t-shirts with his favorite movies, bands, phrases, and tv shows on them, old jeans, and his favorite black leather jacket. According to his parents, this wasn’t the way they wanted a young man to dress, but according to Tom, he was apparently a young man and that’s what he liked to wear. His parents continued to favor perfect Olivia and successful Hannah, and they loved their little children. Tom never seemed to fit in to that equation. It was also in his teen years that his sleep schedule changed dramatically. Tom had always had nightmares or restless nights, but he finally just gave up on trying to sleep when he wasn’t tired. Instead, with his parents unwisely on the other side of the house, he watched movies in his room all night and fell asleep whenever he fell asleep. With his nocturnal habits and careless attitude, he started to flunk out of school. During his junior year, when he was sixteen, he barely passed. Part of that could be accredited to his frequent babysitting habits. When he was about fourteen, he expressed that he had no interest in going to the parties or other social outings. His parents respected that, unlike most other things, and instead just asked him to babysit his younger siblings. By that time, his twin siblings, Aspen and Alexander, and his other brother Halley, who’d been named after Edmond Halley the astronomer, were already born. So, it essentially became his job. He didn’t really mind - it was already better than going to parties - but anyone who knew Tom would know that he wasn’t exactly a fan of kids. As they got older and his youngest sister Ethel was born, Tom decided one night to teach them poker. His parents had shown their disapproval of gambling before, but anyway, Tom had a ton of leftover money from times he asked them for it (normally to go to the movies or buy a tape for his cassette player or a movie he especially liked) and it wasn’t like he used his money that often. So, they gambled with his money and sometimes added in books they didn’t want or rights over the tv remote for a week. Later that evening, his parents noticed an abundance of money in Alexander’s room. It turned out that his little brother was pretty good at gambling. Anyway, Tom told them the truth and in turn received a scolding from his father. In other words, the lesson learned for Tom was to make Alexander hide his winnings better.
As Halley got older, he also got quieter. In fact, his first and only word was, “Tommy.” It made sense since Tom was definitely Halley’s favorite, but Tom had told people to stop calling him that years ago. He hated that nickname, and it made him irritated whenever someone used it. In any case, Tom and Halley were rather close in Tom’s high school years. Halley was a night owl like Tom, and whenever their parents were gone at a party, Halley would crawl into Tom’s bed after all the other kids had gone to sleep, watch movies with him, and eventually fall asleep next to him.
