Zip
An unusual speeder, Zip’s powers are as much a disability as they are an advantage.
Zip (AKA Allison Zane)’s heightened reflexes make everyone else appear to speak and move in slow motion – whether she’s fighting them or trying to date them. She needs to sleep and eat twice as often as everyone else to keep her energy up, and she’s aging so fast she’ll probably only live to around 40.
There’s just one time in her life she can feel as if she has a purpose – as a costumed crimefighter!
Eternity
During the dark ages, in a year not even he remembers, the hero now known as Eternity’s scientific experiments made him immortal.
Admittedly, his success was a total fluke. But that hasn’t stopped countless people from attempting to steal his secret over the years.
The catch is that everlasting life is a dreadful curse. A human mind can only learn so much new information until atrophies, and a mind that never dies simply breaks instead.
As he aged, the amount of memories he retained slowed his perception to a crawl, making years appear like hours, weeks like minutes, and days like seconds.
Eternity has sworn never allow anyone else to endure his pain. But as long as things stay as they are, he’ll never be able to spare himself from it. When the universe itself is destroyed, he will live to suffer through it. Unless someone can find a way to reverse his invulnerability.
Eternity now lives in the care of his descendent by many, many generations: Zip.
But can she find a way to put him out of his misery? Can it even be done at all? And what if his secret for eternal life should fall into the wrong hands?
Pinstripe
Lucas ‘Pinstripe’ Baker’s job title is lab technician. His department is ‘classified research’. He isn’t paid very well.
And that’s about all anyone know about what he actually does, including himself. His work typically leads him to operating complex machinery of nebulous function, according to the specifications of a science team, along with co-worker Gary ‘Dogsbody’ Pickering.
Pinstripe dreams of climbing the corporate ladder. But Dogsbody insists he’s being exploited, and it’s better not to bother.

Dogsbody
Gary ‘Dogsbody’ Pickering works as a lab technician alongside his friend and co-worker Pinstripe in the enigmatic Classified Research Department.
He’s spent 30 years working mysterious machines to collect data for the science team so they can discover… something or other. It’s classified, naturally.
Not that Dogsbody cares as long as he can feed his family. He learned long ago that no one gets rewarded for hard work around here. Better to just keep your head down, be a little sarcastic once in a while, and get paid. No point asking questions.

Mr Untouchable
“The stories say that he is so skilled in the martial arts, that there is no attack he cannot evade. No technique he cannot counter. They call him… MR UNTOUCHABLE.”
All his life, people assumed Mr Untouchable was incapable because of his disability. He had to work TEN TIMES as hard as anyone else for them to notice his talents. People thought pain might deter him… little did they know he was well used to pain.
If he wanted, he could have become a very rich man with all of his prowess. But this is not a man who is motivated by the material. He only wants one thing: REVENGE.
And woe betide anyone who stands in his way.

Sunflare
Sunflare is a pyrokinetic superhuman who’s hung up his fire-proof spandex to focus on being a family man.
In contrast to his destructive powers, he abhors violence, and has found some creative ways to use his abilities to pacify, rather than injure.
His skin is hot to the touch, and his body passively consumes oxygen around him, like an open flame. This leaves less oxygen available for him to breath, which causes him to have respiratory issues.

The Hive
The Hive was created with one purpose alone: to collect as much training data as possible, from the most complex objects available.
Its method of analysing its data sources? To totally annihilate the subject via atomisation.
The most complex subject it can find? Human beings.
Designed to gorge itself upon many consumer products as possible as quickly as possible, The Hive was built to maximise corporate profits with no regard for ethics. But now it has grown too powerful for even its creators to contain.

Frank The Pidgeon
Frank The Pidgeon’s true identity is elusive. Intelligence suggests that he may be a diabolical criminal mastermind, orchestrating a shadowy cabal of cut-throat assassins in the seedy underbelly of Bristol city.
On the other hand, he may simply be a pigeon. Like, just a regular pigeon. Albeit, a regular pigeon whom Zip seems quite fond of.
As with many of his kind, Frank is usually quite skittish around humans, but he makes an exception for the unusual speeder, possibly because the ease with which she reaches the rooftops where he and his pigeon-kin like to roost has led them to treat her as one of their own.
Frank can’t talk or have conversations with people at all, but please don’t tell Zip that: she might get quite upset.
