Space Mage (Legendary)
Adrianne Casmir was just an ordinary girl, a high school social outcast. One of the 'smart kids', with good grades...but a well-deserved reputation for being...kinda weird. A bit of a nerd, a bit of a ditz, just one of those people always off in her own little world. That was before she became Space Mage. Researching magical lore for a D&D campaign, she somehow managed to touch the pure creative force of the human spirit. Now she wields that power as the startling sorceress of the space age, the cosmic chevalier, the Space Mage!
The original Superball was a street-level crimefighter, a member of the original Legendary. His real identity isn't publically known, but he apparently lacked special powers. He compensated for this with an irreverent sense of humour...and a pretty darned good right hook. The second Superball is a recently registered hero, wearing a modified version of the red-and-black costume. For the most part, the public assumes that Superball II is a protégé or former sidekick of the original. Superball II does speak as though he personally knew his predecessor, but he is...oddly evasive as to their actual connection. He avoids telepaths and empaths, and employs various techniques to block their senses. Those actually able to read Superball II claim that he has a great deal of respect for the original hero - but the overwhelming feeling is not admiration...but guilt.
Evil robots. You know 'em, don't you? Futuristic androids, advanced AIs, fiendish marvels of engineering. Then there's Obsolete. She was state of the art, once. In 1950. Now? Her ray-guns are faulty, her atomic engine leaks like a sieve...but she's still running. Somehow. And she's even managed to do the impossible: evolve intelligence in her primitive circuits. Of course, she's still Obsolete. "Self-aware" doesn't mean "smart". Or for that matter, "sane". Obsolete is the product of a bygone era, when the future was shiny and atomic-powered. The Atomic Omni-Bot 3000 was a household automaton targeted at wealthy buyers - a chef, maid and nanny all rolled into one expensive package. The prototype was also equipped with the cutting edge in ray-gun technology, so it could even serve as a bodyguard. In retrospect, that last design choice was probably a mistake.

- - Always cheerful, always upbeat, always talking a mile a nanosecond. Never seems to need to pause for breath, like, ever
- - Speaks in a 'cutesy' hyperactive fashion
- - Fantasy and science fiction fan, rabid convention-goer
- - Permanently altered via raw magic. Her 'civilian' appearance is a glamour. Her 'real' body is now that of a purple-haired long-eared 'elf'. This did wonders for her, er...figure. This is why Adrianne's Space Mage costumes are skintight and fanservicy - she's really really enjoying her new superhero physique.
- - However, she'd never, ever, never ever ever, admit this
- - Dating Marcus Mac Hine, whom she fully intends to marry someday. Because she's also one of those girls who dreams about a house, dog, and 2.5 kids.
- - Essentially a powerful 'wild magic' user - her spells are incredibly strong, but have no discernable structure. She literally makes things up as she goes along. Results are very unpredictable.

- - Superball II isn't actually a martial artist. It looks like he's one, but close examination reveals he's really a superhuman who's 'faking' it - his punches and kicks are sloppy; they only work because he has enhanced strength. He's not an acrobat - he's actually using short bursts of flight.
- - Uses the same wisecracking banter as the first Superball, but there's something a bit...forced...about the act.
- - Extremely paranoid about keeping his face hidden. Wears the mask at all times, freaks out if it's in danger of coming off.
- - Real name 'Adrian Lai' - this does not appear anywhere on his hero registration paperwork. It would, though, appear in certain...other...databases.

- - Usually has a tattered 'French Maid' dress and apron (plus little hat) over her bare mechanical frame.
- - Has been loose for over five decades. Something of a legend in the super-powered underground. She shouldn't be self-aware. She shouldn't be functional.
- - Extremely erratic personality. Occasionally lucid. More often speaks in random quotes from TV shows, radio commercials, and most recently, Internet memes. Presumably she installed a modem somewhere along the line.
- - Always -kliks- or -whirrs- before she says something (-klik- "'ello, 'ello, 'ello!")
- - For those sensitive to such things, she seems to possess a living soul.
