Richard was a exception between exceptions: a white guy in the black-dominated Bronx, he was schooled as fair as he could, paying the money from his works. However, he counted cent by cent. When his father suffered an brain stroke, he had gone crazy to help his father. It was when he chosed to make some “quick money”, to rob some ATMs…
In the process, a C-Class Ajax bouncer had found him and his friends. Seeing the Ajax snapping his friends spine as a twig triggered in Richard (already an athletic guy, and somewhat competent as a football and Rugby player) his breakthrough, and he smashed the bouncer as much as he could, and the bouncer just saved himself when a wall almost fell under some kids. Richard held the wall enough to the kids runs, but this gave the time the bouncer needed to run away.
His father now strained into a bed, recovering day by day, his mother just making enough to warrant they would not starve, Richard chosed to go as a gang member of some lower-Class local breakthroughs. This made him collect some big bucks, that he assured they would go totally for his father treatment.
It was when he was catched by some of the local supermasks and the fight was intense. He was now more experienced with his powers, more developed, and so the collateral damage was intense. However, the heroes noted that he fought in ways to avoid people being hurt.
Anyway, it was when the so-called Bronx Shoulder, one of the most dangerous Ajaxes in NYC, was captured.
In prison, he suffered a lot. Not physically: as an Ajax, almost nothing below military-grade weapons could even scratch him. But emotionally: as he was put into solitary, this almost made him go crazy.
In the judgment, the heroes’ After-Action Reports were read, and this put him under some scrutiny. The judge put him under life sentence, however under parole as, although he was fighting to be not put under justice, there was no casualities and a smaller collateral damage, either on hurt people or destroyed property, that what could be expected.
The terms of parole was:
- He would go into a psychologist treatment;
- He would work with Heroes Without Borders in missions in and outside US;
- At least once a month, no matter what, he would be called by his parole officer. He could talk with him via videoconference. But, at least once in a year he should contact his parole officer in-loco;
- He could not go under action alone: at least another HWB hero should be with him;
- Every hero mission would imply on him to work into an After Action Report by himself, even his team building one;
- He could not assume an official, sanctioned, costume, crest or name, without approving from his parole officer;
- Once per year, he should present himself in front of judge to questioning, together with the parole officer;
- If, in any condition, the access to the parole officer could be complicated, he should as far as possible provide someone that could be put as a temporary parole officer;
- In US, he could be on open-system while associated with Heroes Without Borders or similar groups. The times and conditions would be negotiated directly with the group, without his participation, and he needs to accept totally any negotiation done;
- Any kind of felony or crime commited by him would avoid the parole;
- Those terms were not negotiable;
He accepted the terms and gone for training into HWB. Escorted by at least three A-Class guys from FBI and HSA, he was sent to Edinburg, the only place where HWB have a strong enough infrastructue to support him. In the meantime, his dad, after pardoning him on what he did, had died.
In Edinburg, he passed the same training HWB recruits receives, although at night he gone to the HWB jail and stay for night. It was on those time that a talent that he didn’t developed by time was revealed: he’s a great cook, and worked a lot into his cooking while in jail as part of his chores.
Now, five years after his judgement he was alloted to Genebra, to be placed into any HWB team. And now he’s another person, as much as he now have a new name, LionHeart, sanctioned under his parole’s terms. He’s okay with his situation and wants to do his best. However, he feels some time and again the old urge from “Bronx Shoulder” lurking into his mind and he wants to make them go away. The most shameful thing for him is the special chip it was implanted into his neck to detect his position over time.

Jose Marti is a descendant of the quechua, the indigenous people from Bolivia. He was a common kid that, like many other who grew immediately post-Event, grew dreaming about having powers. But, as his father, he was trained as a guide for hikers from all around the world that would want to get into the biggest peaks from Andes, either in his Bolivia motherland or in Argentina, Peru, Colombia or Ecuador.
It was this until, while guiding some hikers into the Aconcagua mountains, he fell into a rift. Before he could hit hard the ground to his death, he felt a great calmness in his heart, and feel like he was looking by the eyes of the condor. And then, we he came up to himself, he was back to the track, but he was somewhat over the ones he was guiding. He was flying!!!
Back to his community at Bolivia, the local quechua shaman did him come through a ritual, where he understood his powers and destiny: he was Kuntur, the Condor, and he should fly all the world fighting for justice like a hero, to bring back quechua his fame of wise people, not the bloody fame of the Mexica (Aztec) that white people put over him.
He gone into Cuzco and volunteered himself to Heroes Without Borders, as it was the only people he believed like the people all around.
He’s now known as Kuntur as his cape name, and now he lives for fighting for justice,.

Alieksei Fiodorovitch Kutzetsov, son of Fiodor Gregorovitch Kutzetsov, granson of Grigory Raskonikov Kutzetsov, grow on his father reputation as a spy for the old soviet intelligence organization, the KGB. And it was his father and grandfather that put on him the thirst for knowledge and information.
With 4, he received his first computer, an old-fashioned IBM 486, that he used for some months, learning the basics of Internet technologies and system programming. At 8, he already had developed his own software and knew how to kack computer systems for fun.
And, when he was 10, it was the Event.
When he woke up, he saw his computer booting itself, while energy get back. He saw also some guys trying to enter his room.
He discharged a electrical pulse on them, knocking them out.
He felt weird and run for Internet for news.
It was when he felt his fingers turning into a chrome colored goo, getting into the USB ports and he felt the information surge, like the Internet informations being pushed directly into his brain.
It was when he felt himself getting into a security system for his father’s work. He fought (as literally as he could say) his access, using old passwords like magical enchants and hacking his way. He saw a window that was showing the camera system, and some heavy armed people on it. He knew there’s some safe routes, but they were not active.
He fought for the access to the systems and unlocked the safe routes, and engaged a security system that freed sleeping gas, knocking out the armed people. He got out the system and, when his father came back home, explained what happened.
His father saw some of the Russian breakthrough and suggested him to get to the government to help, but his grandfather said him to get away from Russia, because they could try to turn him, as did to his grandfather, into a weapon in espionage scene on a possible 2nd Cold War.
With some money and contacts his grandfather gives to him, he got out Russia to Genebra, and soon he was working into some private group of hackers, using secretly his breakthorugh powers to invade systems and (sometimes) melts other peoples mind with his eletrokinesis.
Recently, he decided (after a run that, although rented him big bucks, resulted in a friend dead under a Ajax) to get out this private team and turn his power on something better. So, he got into Heroes Without Borders. Now he can use his skills and powers on something better.
Dataflow uses the nanomachines in his body to jack himself into a system, and is defenseless while this. However, outside he can use his eletrokinesis powers to knock people out.
He uses a very 80s cyberpunk style, although no chrome directly on his body because his EK powers. He likes synthwave and all kind of electro music. He’s also an information addicted: when not jacked into a system, he reads A LOT and also like to play with old-fashioned tech, like vinyl discs, VHS tapes and 8-bits computers. In fact, a little known trick he uses is to use some jury-rigged interfaces between those 8-bits systems and Internet to use his powers as Asimov.
