EPIC IRONY'S MINOR CHARACTERS
(This post will contain minor characters that may appear from time to time in the RP, as well as "in the wing" characters that await for current characters to die/take a break from the RP. Should the former happen, I will re-post the character I wish to insert into the RP in the correct place. If the latter happens, the profile will remain only here.)Name: The Four Horsemen;
Victory,
War,
Pestilence/Famine and
Death.
Personality: varies between the four.
Victory is an over-confident, arrogant arse of a man who never knows when to quit, but usually wins.
War is a constantly angry, easily pissed off son of a b***h who never stops yelling or fighting.
Pestilence/Famine has split personalities, switching between a sarcastic douche who has to constantly make snide remarks, and a jealous, envious b*****d who can't keep his hands off of everyone else's stuff. And
Death is a silent woman who never speaks unless absolutely necessary, and has no mercy.
Background: Four children raised on stories of the biblical apocalypse, driven slightly mad by kidnapping and experimenting done on them by unknown forces. They were too young to remember, and by the time they escaped they were too far gone to care anymore. They truly believe themselves to be the foretold Horsemen of the Apocalypse, carrying out the fall of mankind exactly as stated in whatever religious texts they can find. Their powers are arguably evidence that their claim is true, and the fact that they haven't died yet also has some influence on their decisions.

Powers:
Victory has the power to regenerate cells at such a rapid pace that he may as well be invulnerable; however, beyond this he is a normal human.
War is a pyrokinetic, able to create and manipulate fire with simple thoughts. He also has highly increased strength, although the extent of his strength depends on his mood. The angrier he is at something, the more strength he can channel and use. Wild emotions fuel his rage-driven power.
Pestilence/Famine has the ability to manipulate the mind to a certain extent, creating mass hallucinations that are convincing enough to trick the brain into injuring itself; **further explanation below. He can also influence the feelings of people, emotional and physical. He could make you feel as if you were starving, or that you were depressed. The stronger the willpower of the target, the more difficult the persuasion is; however, he is adept at overcoming difficult targets. And finally,
Death. Death's body is constantly generating a highly corrosive acid, which eats through nearly all matter. She is naturally immune to this acid on most of her body, although she has a few spots on her face that are not. Such as her eyes and inside her mouth. Her clothing is made of one of the few substances which this acid does not corrode; an experimental poly-carbonate fiber designed by the people who experimented on them.
**Pestilence/Famine's illusions are so powerful that the brain truly believes they are real. If one of the illusions attacked a human, the human would feel all the pain of the attack, but the body would sustain none of the injuries. While this is generally a non-lethal assault, there can be incidences where the pain to the mind is so severe that it snaps and/or simply gives up, and dies on the spot.

Name: Hive Mind
Personality: Broken. Shattered. Argues with disembodied voices, always referring to himself in the third person at random times and others are usually called 'it.' The only real people to him are his... Creations.
Background: After a bizarre childhood of being raised in the Projects of downtown Tangent Tropolis, being abandoned at the age of 7, and spending the rest of his young life in his rotting, condemned apartment with no one but the bugs and rats, Hive Mind long ago forgot his true name. But his relationships formed with the insects in his apartment was taken to the next level when the nuclear reactor that powered the apartments overheated.
Picture:
Powers: After being exposed to high levels of radiation while insect eggs were inside his skin, Hive Mind has a lower level of skin that is actually a layer of insect eggs. These eggs are highly reproductive, regenerating new insects about once an hour or so. The life spans of the insects is almost exactly the same amount of time, more or less. The eggs are controlled completely by Hive Mind, being able to hatch locally on command. The insects themselves are also controlled by Hive Mind; perhaps it is the collection of so many beings under one mind that shattered his. The insects generally resemble wasps in that they have stingers and are capable of agile flight, although they have slightly flattened bodies like cockroaches and are equally difficult to kill. Along with stingers, the insects are armed with mandibles much like fire ants.

Name: Kamikaze
Personality: A cocky, sarcastic, overall unpleasant son of a b***h. He doesn't necessarily go out of his way to make others miserable (without reason), although he does extract vengeance tenfold... At the very least. He tends to keep to himself around strangers, although he's been known to be a socialite around the right people. He tries to pull off being very 'suave' with the ladies, but he really isn't. He's rude to anyone who annoys him, which is basically everyone, and uses his powers for his own selfish gain (and practical jokes). He wouldn't describe himself as a villain; he's just a guy trying to have a good time and make a living "with what God gave him."
Background: Born as Jake Jordan, (JJ to friends), Kamikaze was born with his power. His foster parents moved frequently and far; he lived in a different state every year until he was 7. By that time he had his powers mostly under control, and began living a 'normal' life. He ran away from his foster parents' house at the age of 16, wandering aimlessly before deciding to live large from bank robbing and other assorted crime.
Picture:
Powers: Kamikaze has the unique ability to separate his appendages with ease. They grow right back, thanks to his amazing regenerative capabilities. But once separated, the limbs become highly unstable... And explosive. They can be detonated from Kamikaze's mind, or a strong enough impact will blow them up. Such as being thrown and hitting something. By the very nature of his power, Kamikaze is somewhat combustible. However, it takes a lot more force to make him explode than it does one of his severed appendages. And even if he does explode, his healing factor is so powerful and fast that it basically counteracts the explosion.
