Purgatory // A Superhero Roleplay

My Characters

Casey Hunt
Played By Ansel Elgort

Role / Power
Energy Absorption
Age
Eighteen
Sexuality
Straight
Personality
Nervous, self conscious and closed off. Casey has never had good experiences with his powers, which has lead to him fearing them. Despite all this, Casey acts rather innocent, making him the 'cute' one of the group who the others watch over.
Skills
• If this were a gang, Casey would be the getaway driver. He's pretty skilled behind the wheel, if needed
Flaws
• Teamwork. Due to his hesitance in using his power, he doesn't feel like he's much use to the team
• Combat, of any sorts, is not his strong point. He has no clue how to handle a gun and would probably lose in a fist fight
Backstory
He discovered his powers at fifteen. One night, he woke to sounds in the kitchen. There were his parents, one holding a phone and the other a baseball bat. At the other side of the room, two nervous teen robbers, who didn't wait a second before shooting at them. Unlike his parents, Casey didn't seem to get hurt, but instead absorbed the energy from the bullets before releasing it in a mini explosion. Traumatised and scared of what he could become, he's vowed never to use his powers again unless truly needed

Amelia Carter
Played By Lili Reinhart

Role / Power
Telepathy
Age
Twenty
Sexuality
Bisexual
Personality
The girl next door who's found herself doused in responsibilities. She's logical and likes to plan ahead. Despite not being the best fit for the role, she's just trying to be a decent team leader, though she's definitely not perfect.
Skills
• Hand to hand combat. Unlike most of the others, her powers can't be used to protect her, so she had to learned how to take care of herself
Flaws
• Hates water, like a lot. She's found that being underwater weakens her power
• Not very empathetic. Maybe it's because she's always seen people's darkest secrets and saddest regrets all her life, but she finds it hard to feel sympathy for others
Backstory
Unlike mainly of the other mutants, Amelia didn't really have a sad sob story to tell. Growing up, her parents invested a lot of money into Lia. She went to the best private school, was given the smartest tutors and had a pretty sheltered childhood. From when she was little, she always knew her power was there, but never came forward and told anyone. Eventually she moved out and grew apart from her parents, apart from business related reasons

Skills
