Went for a combo of mcu falcon and a very small amount vulture

———————————————————————
Abilities:

Wears an advanced helmet that opens a small portal to a dimension of nothing but pure plasma. Allowing him to fire off plasma blasts or beams by opening and closing the portal via small buttons on either side of the masks

Backstory:

Brett Maxin was once a gifted experimental physicist who worked for a private energy research company attempting to solve the world’s growing power crisis. Brilliant but obsessive, Brett specialized in dimensional theory and believed infinite energy could be harvested from parallel realities. Most scientists dismissed his work as dangerous fantasy, but Brett became consumed with proving them wrong.

After years of secret experiments, Brett finally succeeded in creating a microscopic tear between dimensions. What he found on the other side was not another universe, but a violent realm made entirely of superheated plasma and unstable energy. The moment the portal opened, the laboratory was annihilated in an explosion that vaporized half the facility and killed nearly everyone inside.

Brett survived only because he had been wearing a prototype insulated helmet designed to stabilize the portal frequency. The blast horribly scarred the left side of his body and permanently damaged his nervous system, leaving him in constant agony. But the accident also changed him mentally. During the few seconds the portal remained open, Brett claimed he could hear something speaking from within the plasma dimension—something that showed him visions of limitless power.

The corporation covered up the disaster, blamed Brett for the incident, and erased all evidence of the experiment to avoid public backlash. Hunted, discredited, and physically ruined, Brett vanished.

Months later, he resurfaced wearing a rebuilt version of the experimental helmet, now heavily modified with portal regulators and plasma-resistant alloys. By pressing controls along the sides of the mask, Brett can momentarily tear open precise rifts into the plasma dimension itself. Through these breaches he unleashes concentrated blasts, searing beams, and waves of burning energy hot enough to melt steel in seconds.

Now known as Riftburn, Brett believes humanity is too afraid of progress to evolve. He has dedicated himself to forcing the world into a new technological age through destruction, opening portals across cities to demonstrate the unstoppable power hidden beyond reality itself.

Rootmancer

Jumoku Ne

Age: 42
Origin: shibuya, Tokyo
Affiliation: none

Power(Root Seed): he shoots out seeds from the bottom of his feet that shoot out fast enough to break through concrete to reach soil and once they’re completely encased in soil they sprout roots. He has complete control over their size, shape, and how far the roots grows.

Skills/skilled at: ranged combat, defense, restraining, gardening

Personality: he has a calm, grounded presence that mirrors the steady growth of plants. At first glance, he seems quiet and reserved, someone who prefers observing over speaking, but beneath that is a man deeply enraged by how the world is being harmed

——-——-——-——-——-——-——-—————
(Habits):
Regularly checks soil quality around his hideout

Talks to plants casually, like they’re friends
——-——-——-——-——-——-——-—————
(Character traits):
He’s not the loud leader type, but when he speaks, people listen

Trains consistently

Often studies battlefield environments more than opponents

Backstory:

Jumoku Ne was born in the crowded heart of Shibuya, where concrete, neon, and steel drowned out almost every trace of nature. His parents owned a tiny flower shop hidden between apartment blocks and alleyways, and while most children his age dreamed about heroes, Jumoku spent his time learning how to care for plants. He understood soil types before he understood people. He could identify dying roots by touch alone.

As he grew older, he became obsessed with the idea that plants were alive in ways humanity ignored. To him, roots were more honest than people. They grew slowly, patiently, and only took what they needed. Humans, meanwhile, consumed everything around them without thought.

His Power first manifested during middle school. Tiny seeds burst from the bottoms of his feet during an emotional outburst and drilled through the pavement beneath him, splitting the concrete apart. Moments later, thick roots erupted from the ground and wrapped around the alleyway walls like serpents. While others panicked, Jumoku stood frozen in awe. For the first time in his life, he felt connected to something greater than himself.

As an adult, Jumoku studied botany, soil restoration, and urban agriculture. For years he worked alongside environmental organizations trying to restore damaged land across Tokyo. He believed humanity could still coexist with nature if people were willing to change.

Then he watched corporations bulldoze entire green zones for expansion projects. Rivers became polluted. Parks disappeared beneath skyscrapers. Hero agencies protected wealthy investors while ignoring environmental destruction that displaced entire neighborhoods. Every effort Jumoku made to peacefully protect nature was buried under paperwork, politics, or greed.

The final break came when a redevelopment company destroyed one of the last natural gardens he had spent nearly ten years cultivating. The land had become a refuge for both people and wildlife hidden within the city. Despite protests, the area was demolished in a single week.

Jumoku arrived too late to stop it.

Standing in the ruins of crushed trees and torn soil, something inside him changed. He no longer believed humanity would willingly coexist with nature. If the world refused to respect the earth, then the earth would reclaim the world by force.

That was the day Rootmancer was born.
