Vigilantes: Nobility Beyond the Law

 * Kyle Reuben, the New York Knight: An electrokinetic vigilante operating primarily in New York City, Kyle Reuben is one of the most famous of his breed. A selfless and virtuous hero, Reuben works towards the greater good even as the government covertly sends agents in an attempt to silence him. Adored as he is by the public, even the immoral FOA would never move against him openly.

Rogues: Survivors and Scoundrels

 * Devon Moore
 * James Dayne
 * Everett Keel, Bane of Security: Everett Keel, dubbed 'Moldwarp' by the media for his mole-like costumed appearance (much to his chagrin), has gained some measure of infamy for theft and burglary. A recent appearance in the underground metahuman community, he relies on black market doses of power-boosting ichor formula to empower his space-warping powers. With the extra oomph from the formula, Moldwarp remains at large, forcing governments and antique collectors alike into a state of paranoia.

Supervillains: Public Enemies

 * Dominus
 * Daniel Creed
 * Eric O'Malley, Son of Ireland: Commonly referred to by the name Lugh, Eric O'Malley was a member and eventual leader of the IRA. Thanks to his precognitive abilities, he rained murder and devastation down on the English as he fought to free Ireland from their yolk. For years, he was untouchable, a symbol of freedom to his supporters and a terror to his enemies, until his powers failed him, and he reaped what he had sown. Even so, many Irish revere him even to this day, and the anniversary of his loss sees countless glasses privately raised in his memory across the Emerald Isle.
 * Ciara O’Neill, The Morrigan: Ciara O’Neill, better known by her alias of the Morrigan, is one of the few surviving IRA metahumans and the only to remain wanted by the British government. Ciara established a reputation for herself as one of the most proficient spymasters in the world during the Bloody Troubles, remaining one step ahead of the British for years. Yet with Lugh’s death and the total collapse of the IRA forces, she was forced to leave her homeland. Despite this the Morrigan remains a significant foe, organizing crippling strikes and infiltrating several Metahuman organizations throughout the west. If even the assassins of Argus cannot strike down the black queen, will her reign ever end?

Superheroes: Idols, True and False

 * Victor Flynn, Most Powerful Man on Earth: Victor Flynn, better known as Supreme, is the most powerful metahuman on the planet. A veteran of the Second World War, he brought that conflict to an end by using his recently gained powers to devastate Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the name of his nation. For some thirty years he stood as the world's greatest superhero, but since the Vietnam War, has retired from superhero work and largely left the public eye, preferring to spend time with his family.
 * Aaron Ward
 * Aleksandr Menshikov
 * Nathaniel Shaw
 * James Evans
 * Tyler Willis, Unenlightened Fool: Tyler Willis, better known as 'Allbright' by the general public, is one of the many sponsored heroes in the employ of the FOA. But a recent graduate from a junior superhero training team, Tyler employs light-based powers to blind, disorient, and burn their foes, usually from a higher position in the air. Like many FOA employees, they have yet to shed any light on the less savory aspects of the FOA, and believe the fame and media attention to be their just due for working for the good of the government and country.
