Hero AU

Hero AU

Zach is 17 and goes by the hero name "Bladed Officer"

his powers are the same as canon (will the name clue anyone in? send in your guesses)

Zach is an independent branch of government protection force chiefly dealing with supernatural threats

it's called Miranda's protection service, after his mother

it's existed for a little longer than 2 years

Freddie is 14 and is infamous under the name "Manic Alchemist"

he's causing havoc in order to make a name for himself

he's overshadowed by his parent's achievements

he's been a villain for about 2 years

after attempting to submit patents and gain fame the "right way" he failed to gain enough traction

so he sourced out Bella, bought some tech, and sent a chemical explosion to a vacant government building

his deed was in every conversation, on the tip of everyone's tongue for weeks

and he loved the attention

so he's been doing it ever since

Bella is 20 and goes by the name "Scarlet Maiden" when doing hero business

and "the Crimson Programmer" when doing more shady business

she has the most experience - 6 years of villain/illegal tech distribution

which means she is the most well known

seriously, she's a household name - her nanites are infamous and used as a bogeyman

"Got to sleep now, or crimson nanites will take your new toy"

she provides tech support for Zach

she's been working with him since the beginning

half the tech is her own invention

and the other half she has tinkered with, improving it in many ways

she wants to get out onto the field, since she has the capacity and the desire to help people

seriously, she has funky tech she's been itching to use

she also continues to help Freddie with tech

almost 3/4 of his stuff is her tech

she intends to cash that in at some point, especially if he starts shortchanging her

all her tech has a manual override button that only she can access remotely, in case anything is used too brutally

unfortunately, her moral greyness in this au is hyped up, so she will take any deal, and can be paid off to some extent to interfere less if she's given a small fortune or access to something obscure

Character Question 26

How is their current mental health?

Bella: It's okay. Not amazing since she has her social life to stress about. Since the apocalypse, it's taken a downhill turn since she's the eldest in the group and feels obligated to take on all the responsibilities. She's worried about a lot of stuff.

Freddie: He's recovered from his depression a few years ago, but his high standards don't keep him healthy. He pushes through exhaustion, which leaves him in a bad physical and mental place. The birthday surprise wasn't the first time he was drugged by loved ones.

Zach: He also holds himself to too high standards. But, he's better than the other two at accepting personal mistakes. Not a lot of his confidence is faked, oddly enough, allowing him to be more comfortable with himself. However, he also takes a turn for the worse with the apocalypse; he also feels he has to fix it, to be the hero and his fear of being abandoned is developed.

Likes: programming, learning as much as possible, cartoons

Dislikes: being put in charge of 2 children during an apocalypse

Do this for your OC’s 

She's sporty, she's driven, she's gay and amazing. Her name is Nala. After her father left when she was young, her mother fell into a deep depression, leading to Nala finding early independence. Eventually, her mother managed to rise a little from her slump and was able to earn enough to pay for a roof over their head. Though whenever she was off work, she shut herself in her room, leaving her daughter to fend for herself. Nala has decided she will never have to rely on anyone in her life and plans to be a politician. She's the grade treasurer, captain of the basketball team, and the softest Slytherin you'd ever see.

Nicknames: none commonly used, though Fera uses pet names

Age: 17

Birthday: May 29th

Race: unknown; her mother was adopted and she doesn't know anything about her dad

Sexuality: Lesbian demisexual

Power: none

Character Question 29

What do they think is the worst thing that can be done to a person?

Freddie: Destroying someone's reputation. He believes strongly in people's legacies. He would be heartbroken if his own was tampered with or damaged. He knows people literally spend their lives cultivating their stance in society. All it takes is one slip of the tongue and it's over.

Zach: Torture and/or death. He's very materialistic. The physical wellbeing of people is incredibly important to him. Especially considering his dad's line of work, being crippled would ruin him. It's a fear Zach has - losing his physical capabilities since he wants to follow in his father's footsteps.

Zach is very aware of his physical limitations. He is still reckless, but he trains hard to make sure he can afford to be. He had weights in his shoes for a long time to strengthen his leg muscles for more risky jumps. He's stupidly flexible in case he gets stuck or lands badly. He knows basic self-defense and can fall properly. 

Bella: Ruining someone's education. Reputations and physical detriments aside, knowledge is incredibly important to her. It allows someone to rebuild their reputation and live a full life despite physical ailments. Her heart breaks for those who don't have the resources available for education. Losing knowledge is losing opportunities.

This will either distract her or use her success from programming. (She will pause her programming to follow this path or will use her fortune to fund it) She will invest a lot of money into building schools in third world countries. She'd love visiting the kids and would be super awkward with it for sure. She'd learn their language before going and would gravitate toward the quieter kids and talk to them about overcoming their shyness. She'd teach math lessons and would bring stuff for a homemade projector and would show them pictures of all the places around the world she'd been. (Because she'd also use the money left after donating to go on a world tour. European road trip!)
