• History: Born into a poor inner-city home, Kris was too young to understand what was going on as Lloyd took care of him and his his mother wasted away, until she was finally ordered to release custody of the boys to her ex-husband. Mr. Walker wasn't much better, as while he did properly feed and house the boys, any time not spent on homework or sleep was spent on self-sufficiency and athletic training. Because of this and other factors, Lloyd ran away from home, causing Kris to move once more when the government realized what had happened and took away custody rights from Mr. Walker. His mother was dead by that point, and he ended up being shuffled from family to family until his powers were revealed during an athletic event at school. Having put off the feelings of loneliness in pursuit of athletic excellence, Kris revealed his electro-magnetic powers when he was trying to catch up in a sprint before practically teleporting to the end of the race. Soon, he was moved again, because his completely normal adoptive parents simply couldn't handle him. At that point, ARMOR stepped in, and did their best to try and give the boy an ordinary childhood. ARMOR wasn't well-equipped for superhuman homeschooling, though, and even once they caught up in anticipation of future super-powered children, Kris was practically uncontrollable. Being able to turn into electromagnetic power meant there weren't a lot of ways to keep him in one place, especially when he was interested in performing super-heroic acts.  Only after a lot of convincing did they manage to get him to focus on his schoolwork.
• Personality: Kris Walker is overenthusiastic, extremely powerful, and, despite issues in his upbringing, very idealistic. Somewhat competitive, he has a tendency to bite off more than he can chew on purpose, in order to discover a way out. However, being reminded that he's expected to behave like a child can put him in a dark mood, as he's often bitterly reminded of how he's nothing like most other children and doesn't have any close friends his age.
• Abilities and Resources: Kris's abilities are myriad, most powerful among them a nearly unstoppable speed that he is able to employ without injuring himself. Able to 'ride wires' and phase through most substances, he is able to take down far more experienced foes simply by virtue of them simply not being able to stop anything he does, nor hurt him in any way. He can also 'hack machines', though for the most part he's limited to simple scrambling or push-button mechanics, such as breaking a vending machine to make it constantly vend. With the support of ARMOR, who is still hesitant to let him out, he can arrange aid to solve problems that are beyond his skillset or means. He is also the only brother of Lloyd Walker, better known as Vermillion Viper.

That one is about 400% off the screen on mobile.

 

I take it tables do not get along with mobile. Lol

[Colin]

@bwatford We've already started looking at things related to it in fact. 🙂

[Eric]

Tables work fine, but we have to teach (or programmatically enforce) the use of % widths instead of fixed widths.

Would agree with programmatic enforcement, because adjusting any of the sub-sizes causes it to fall back to px.

[bwatford]

Would be nice if we could set a percent width for images too, instead of hard pix count. That way they display the same on desktop and mobile.

[Eric]

Images should automatically scale using back-side javascript.

if you guys could post a table generator like MW use to have way back in the day that might be helpful

• History: A Florida native, Jake Ramamalathan has heard it all, especially jokes about his name. It was indeed made up, when his Irish father crossed into Ellis Island, trying to leave his old name behind. While Jake would have been perfectly fine to remain a dishwasher in the Roaring Twenties, his mutant powers were first revealed when he sold moonshine with his family. Originally portrayed as an awful stereotype of the Emerald Isle, his portrayal became more generous as more people came to like his take-no-dirt attitude during a time period when authority was being questioned. For every paper dragging his name in the mud, there was an under-the-counter account of the moonshiner which portrayed him as a hero against corrupt cops and gangsters alike. This attention, and the fact that he was not aging normally, would earn him the attention but not affection of Lady Liberty, a fellow immigrant-child and redhead who he ended up seeing as an older sister despite the fact that he was technically older than her. Her unbreakable resolve lead to him gaining additional leanings toward justice, something that would be sorely tested in the future. Serving in both World Wars, he joined Lady Liberty on the European front, but had his sister figure taken from him in a cataclysmic event- the body was never found, despite his best efforts. In the Pacific, he endured a grappling match with a poor fellow mutant who had his powers activated by the Hiroshima bombing, leading to a return to his more cynical character after the war. Starting a romance with a short-lived alien woman named Miss Sapphire, he watched her age to death in front of him, doing his best to keep her comfortable during her final months. This and the horrors of war would haunt him for the rest of his life, giving him a definitively anti-totalitarian bent. He would make ideological enemies with almost every political alignment during the Cold War, further embittering him and leaving him unsure of what to do. By this point, he chooses his own battles to fight, not caring whether anyone agrees with who he chooses to help or why.
• Personality: Jacob is a relentless cynic, a shell of his former heroic self, and someone whose first choice of approach is almost always violence, due to how good he is at it. He's a master of combat and expert in acrobatics not through training but sheer experience with fighting and movement within all kinds of terrain. Secretly, he hopes someone with awaken the hiding sense of justice within him, but he's not going to admit it. He's never had a lover or a wife after his singular love affair with the alien woman Miss Sapphire.
• Abilities and Resources: The Mask has approximately a century of almost constant battle experience, whether at home or abroad, and has performed infiltration, criminal activity, law enforcement, combat driving, and lots and lots of hand-to-hand brawling. His worldwide experience has given him friends and enemies everywhere in the world, from politicians to drug dealers to shamans. Ramamalathan has been given a specially augmented Crimson Mask by those he's helped throughout the years, and it's been added to, modified, and reconstructed several times. One thing remains the same: It always covers his eyes, which are black.

• History: The spitting image of a glamorous New Yorker, Miss Abigail Anat is strong-headed, lovely, courageous, and also cybernetic. Her permanently perfect appearance is a result of a late night in the laboratory where she was stabbed several dozen times by a corporate espionage agent, who stole her newly perfected 'hard hologram' technology. Despite the grievous wounds, she played dead and managed to stay alive through force of will, later recovered by of one of her future allies, First Responder. After being told that she would never have proper use of any of her limbs or lungs again, the cutting-edge cyberneticist took a huge gamble and constructed a cyborg frame to replace her destroyed body. While she had no medical experience, she was assisted by a glory-seeking compatriot, Helen Dimitriou, who thought that this would be her big break. However, while Anat became an augmented heroine, she remained a 'mere' celebrated surgeon, and Abigail's friend, until the gap in their reputation grew too great, and Helen sabotaged Anat's body. The Titanium Woman didn't realize what had happened until she went half-blind in the middle of battle and had a different trusted ally run some diagnostics. When Helen's changes were detected, Dimitriou was arrested for attempted murder and became a fierce enemy of ARMOR, whom Titanium Woman had become the poster woman for due to her heroic activity and glamorous appearance.
• Personality: Both a workaholic and a smooth-talker, Anat is extraordinarily intelligent and skilled in her fields of expertise. At home in front of a camera, computer desk, or workbench, she is hyper-focused on getting tasks done, appearances kept up, and the day saved. People's feelings come second, in her opinion, to task completion and their survival. Opinionated by virtue of her education and experienced in the art of spin, she is willing to say one thing on camera and another to her coworkers or subordinates, accepting this as the nature of politics. Always open to a new opportunity, Abigail tends to bite off more than her allies can chew, but she's dedicated enough to cover for the difference herself more often than not. Despite apparently having it all, Abigail is all-too-aware of how perilous her position actually is due to how close she can cut things, and dreads the possibility of causing a disaster and being routed out of ARMOR despite all she's accomplished. She is also reminded constantly that the world is built for humans, not for cyborgs, and she is regretful of her tendency to offend people.
• Abilities and Resources: Capable of handling the academics and athletics alike, Abigail is an expert engineer and physicist who knows many fellow physicists, pushing the limits of the known with her hardlight developments and reviewing or writing papers on mathematics, electronics, and optics. By virtue of becoming the spokeswoman of ARMOR, she has national and international connections, from Senators to royalty. Unfortunately, this does not extend so strongly to law enforcement or criminal contacts, which she usually leaves to her more experienced lawyer friends. Her acrobatic skills have been developed as a result of testing the limits of her frame's agility and mobility, working in concert with the hard-light's ability to produce flight-like effects through the same functions that make the light act as a material.

• History: Marcus Philips probably isn't who you would expect to turn up when people talk about who 'the strongest man in the world' is. Formerly a volunteer firefighter from Kentucky, Marcus accepted a new position within ARMOR in order to get worldwide access to as-it-happened emergency feeds. Ever since, he's always first on the scene when it comes to removing people from danger or performing emergency first aid, participating in fighting fires, evacuating hurricanes, and rescuing trapped individuals from earthquakes.
• Personality: Despite standing two meters tall outside boots, Marcus is a very mild individual at heart, and hates to see people hurt or punished, even if they're being criticized for entirely correct reasons. His default reaction to being attacked is to patiently wait for the attacker to finish, relying on his natural durability to see him through unharmed. He is entirely aware of how much power he carries in his body, and his greatest fear is killing someone by accident. He's faced major criticism within ARMOR for putting others ahead of himself to a fault, either by encouraging rudeness in letting people walk over him, or choosing constant rescue work over educating himself so he can help people more effectively. His commoner personality and favoritism towards the simple solution is exemplified through his favorite meal: Three dozen chicken wings, a pound of carrots, five sticks of celery and ranch to taste, with a side of French fries and a beer.
• Abilities and Resources: What the emergency fighter lacks in skill, he more than makes up for with sheer versatility and creativity. Even heat vision, a traditionally destructive power, serves the common good by cutting power lines from afar, cleanly cutting where fists fail, or creating carefully contained burns. His meek nature and tendency to help others has made him a famously effective tool for child education videos, as most children love the soft-hearted rescue hero.

• History: Ms. Wertz's parents met by virtue of teleporter testing incident- which would have been odd enough, had they not been from different dimensions entirely. The planet Earth knows as Venus was known as Earth in another world, and was life-bearing due to some slightly adjusted variables that allowed the famously hostile planet to instead be humanity's fertile home. Getting along well, the unexpected dimensional students had a child, whose inter-dimensional origins served to provide her unusual powers. Genetically identical to a human from either dimension, it was her strange connection to both worlds that granted her overwhelming telekinetic powers she learned to control at an early age. Despite being raised by loving parents, the shadows of envy ran over Lauren's life from the earliest years. One of her father's co-workers from the alternate Venus took up an obsession with the origin of her powers, which he carefully concealed in order to prevent detection. Correctly determining that the genetics themselves had nothing to do with her powers and that their difference in origin was the source, he studied the teleporter that was used using himself as a test subject. The massive power expenditure exposed him after years of careful concealment, and rather than allow himself to be taken captive, he fired in impossible coordinates and overrode safeguards to do so. This would throw Lauren across time and space, arriving in her mother's world with no way home, and possibly being chased by a power-obsessed maniac.
• Personality: Unlike the stereotype of the callous professor, Lauren is extremely diplomatic due to her intimate understanding of the human psyche. While many people who have telepathic powers learn to hate the minds of humanity due to the things they hide from each other, Wertz's position on the matter is that they more often than not hide their darker impulses because they know the harm that indulging that evil would do. While she is regretful that as a child she studied the minds of others without permission, the self-restraint she has observed so many individuals use out of concern for others has been a source of great strength and comfort for her. She also enjoys learning new things, especially about other people.
• Abilities and Resources: Far from home, Lauren often needs to rely on her abilities and common knowledge in order to get by. It can be somewhat amusing when she references Venus's gravitational constant by reflex or greets someone who has never met her, but she does her best to catch up, and certainly has the mind to do it.
