[X] The Architect of Destiny
A tinker to end all tinkers. If you can imagine it, you can build it. Monuments to victory.
[X] Hero
We will build a better world. One than can survive anything. And if the current world ends or we have to dismantle it ourselves to build our newer, better world, THEN SO BE IT.
On another note, seriously @crystalwatcher? Another quest?

Villain Architect would have been the most fun.

This one sounds like Leet without the 'only build it once' limit.
Savior sounds like Saitama, and while that does sound like it could be fun, My inner RTS player demands we go this route.

It seems like the sole purpose of the setting is to give capes a free pass so they'll answer the Endbringer (and Scion?) sirens. Going on a one man crusade to kill villains willy nilly will probably end up in a manhunt for our head by both sides, if only to preserve the numbers unless we prove ourselves extremely valuable, which doesn't seem likely this early in the game. Since there are so few consequences, there are probably many more villains and feudal warlords than in canon, which makes it even harder, but the heroes don't seem too nice either from what father said. Best to stay neutral for now until we can examine the political parahuman landscape.

[Today, the combing of the Canbarra Glass Zone was called off. With more than three hundred thousand still unaccounted for, the local Guardian garrison, down by more than seventeen capes from the battle, have declared the likelihood of anyone else surviving for two months in the Glassland as being 'possible, but unlikely'.

You tune out the radio, focusing more on the little silver card in your hands. It's film wasn't any different from your previous ID, save for a tiny little symbol in the corner that marked it as something more. A little seven-pointed star that marked the holder as a Parahuman. "Do I really need this? I liked my other ID fine."
"You know why you had to replace it dear." Your mother replies from the front seat of the family vehicle. "There's nothing to it, you're a Parahuman now."
"Don't worry about it Mizuki. You'll get used to it."
'You'll get used to it,' your father says. As if you wanted to get used to being held as something higher than your former peers. "I... guess."
"Anyway, here we are. You sure this is what you want?" You look up, meeting your father's worried eyes. "Being a Guardian isn't going to be fun and games. Are you sure you can handle it?"
You look back down to the little silver plasti-card in your hand, with it's tiny little star. To be a Guardian. A Hero. To stand among their number and fight to hold back that seemingly endless darkness. Whether it be from Humanity's enemy, or Humanity itself.
To be a light.
"...Yeah. I'm positive."
Your fate has been sealed.
"You're clear. Orientation is on the fourth floor, one of the senior Guardian members will meet you their with the rest of your group." You almost flinch as the guard hands your new ID back, but manage to hold it together.
"My... group?"
He smiles at you. "You're not the only new Parahuman joining the Guardians. There's another girl, about your age. She arrived a few hours ago looking like she was ready to chew on bricks and spit nails." And with that the normal human, turns away and walks off. His thick kevlar body armor making a surprisingly small amount of noise.
You swallow and move past towards the elevator.
The conference room you eventually make your way to is... cliche. Cliche table, cliche chairs, cliche decorations. It didn't even have a window to the outside, though that was understandable. What you didn't expect to see was your classmate already inside and sitting at the table, with her fingers steepled in front of her mouth, and her eyes downcast in a sever look.
Taylor don't even look up as you enter.
"Um... Hello?" The much taller girl glances at the sound of your voice, but otherwise doesn't respond. Instead resuming her brooding. "Okay... then."It's hard to keep your spine straight. Taylor had always seemed unapproachable by the greater population of Winslow. Her friend, Emma, being the main point of contact anyone had with the serious girl. And, while she was still there, Sophia.
You tried not to think about what happened to Madison when she tried usurping Taylor's position as the 'Queen Bee'. You're still not sure if anyone really deserved what Taylor's 'minion' did to her, regardless of justification.
You sit as far away from her as you can, trying not to huddle into the corner.
Minutes pass.
Then hours.
Taylor doesn't move from her position. Eyes focused on some invisible spot on the table in front of her as if it held all the secrets of the world. 'How could she have been raised? To become something like this?' The thought is an idle one, but no less valid for being unspoken.
Taylor suddenly shifts, and you almost scream in surprise. Her eyes track past you to the door just in time to catch it opening.
Quietly hyperventilating, you barely notice when an older woman walks in. Her armored suit is a dark grey and white, with brilliantly glowing lines. You blink.
"Hebert." the hero, Battery, turns to look at you. "Washio?" You nod. "I'm here to walk you through orientation. There'll be a basic rundown for your duties, and after that we'll get you set up. Meet and greets, as well as power testing will all be held tomorrow."
Taylor stands from where she was sitting at the table, picking up a small box that you hadn't noticed, before moving around the table. You quickly clamber to your feet.
"Now, before we head out, are there any questions you'd like to ask? You might also want to come to a decision on whether you want to be housed here at the Rig, or go home at the end of the day."
[] Write in Questions - Also, do you want to live at home, or in the Guardian base?
(Your power is The Savior.
As the coming dawn, you are forever doomed to stand alone at the pinnacle, above all others. A life of solitude. But your presence will come to be seen as a sign of Victory and Salvation. An inheritor of the greatest Parahuman who had walked the world, and gave his life to hold back the endless tide. Character Sheet Updated)
