History/Origin: Stephanie was a 10 year old street kid that was taken in by Bart Garret, the Blue Devil. She discovered he was the Blue Devil while she was snooping around the house. She promised not to tell anyone if he would train her to be his sidekick. Unknown to Bart, she never intended to tell anyone.

Kurisumasu Fuyu Kamen Erufu is an open source character available for use by anyone with no copyright restrictions.

Chrystmas was born in 1855. She is considered, what humans call, a teenager.

Her people came from a far away galaxy and settled at Earth's northern pole, as it is similar to their homeworld. They have a lifespan ranging from 680 to 1000 years.

Chrystmas works in Santa's Candy Workshop as an expert candy maker and designer.

On Christmas Day 1972, she recieved a gift from Santa. When she opened it, it looked like a new buckle for her belt. Santa then explained how it worked. He called it the Aurora Shifter. It has a crystal in the center of a metallic casing. The crystal contains energies from the Aurora Borealis. When she wants to activate it, she touches the crystal and speaks, "It's Christmas Time!" She then is transformed into a superhero with many powers, weapons and martial arts skills. She has a reindeer companion named "Snowblast".

Only Santa and Mrs. Claus know she is Kamen Erufu (a short form of her hero name).

She helps defend the North Pole against invaders. She has been known to assist other heroes as well. She is small, but a total badass. She teams with Santa's Claws often.

Bombogenesis

Real Name: Ashikaga Tetsuro

Created by: Marz Workman, [12-13-2019]

Origin/History 
Tetsuro is an autistic boy of 11 yrs old. His emotions are out of control (happy to angry in an eye blink). He is non-verbal and can become frustrated when he cannot communicate his need to someone. He is prone to ritualistic behavior. 

Tetsuro was born in Japan. When he was around 1-1/2 yrs old, his behavior changed and he was diagnosed with autism. Around 5 yrs old, he developed the ability to control air, having that ability directly linked to his emotional state. After destroying his family's home, he was taken to a research facility. There, he was submitted through testing and was found to have an aptitude for technology and that his power is directly linked to his emotional state (the angrier he is, the more violent his air manipulation is). If he becomes too angry, he can create storms, hurricanes, and the like.

He is confined in a blast-proof glass "cell" where he is constantly monitored for his protection and the protection of others. He is well taken care of and his parents are with him always. The family receives a compensation. Studies on his conditions are used to help others.

Tetsuro also has the RH- factor in his blood.

Powers
Air Manipulation (linked to his emotional state without focus or direction)

Abilities
Techno-Adept: able to work any piece of technology with some degree of success. This does not appear to be a super power, but rather a side-effect to his autism.

Equipment
an android tablet

Notes
The above text is just a light back story, or set-up.

Story ideas for this character could have him utilized in extreme situations where is power would benefit the situation, or to have him always being pursued by aliens due to his RH- blood. Autistic children are aware of what is going on around them, they just cannot process the communication to express any response to it, they just react to a situation, much like instinct. He could also ward off kaiju (y'know, being based in Japan and all).

He cannot be placed in a suit with life support then placed in a vacuum, because when he became angry, he would just use the atmosphere in the suit, which would destroy the suit exposing him to vacuum, and ultimately kill him.

I found "bombogenesis" while reading a weather article, looked up what it meant and just rolled out this character.

The above image is for reference only and should not be used in any of your works.

Creator Notes 
As a father of a severely autistic child, a situation like this where the child also would have a potentially dangerous power would be extremely frightening. The bursts of anger and rage that could cause devastating destruction on a grand scale are unimaginable. The emotions of an autistic child are uncontrollable and these bursts are a "let it ride out" thing. You just have to keep them and those around them safe until it passes. It's stressful and trying, but you have to take it for the sake of your child.

Doctor Energy and E.V.E.T. (Open Source)

 Real Name: Dr. November Ross

Created by: Marz Workman, 11-01-2019

#oscgchallenge

Origin/History 
November was born in 1910 to a scholar father and an at-home mother. He was named "November" because he was born in the month of November. He was raised well and educated. After he had gone to university, his parents were killed amid gangster activity. He took a year off from school to sort out his business and grieve. He went on to complete his education and worked with a senior scientist.

After a few years, he began working on his own projects from his own lab at his home. During this time, in 1939, he was called to a farm to investigate a meteor that crashed in a field. He took the meteor to his lab. After a few tests, the meteor cracked open and a blue glow emitted from the crack. What was thought to be a rocky shell was actually a metal casing submitted to lots of abuse. Inside was what looked like a vacuum tube filled with a liquid that emanated blue light. 

He went on to build a device to test the energy output capabilities of the tube. When he plugged it into the device, it did as expected and powered his experiment, even overloading the capacitor. Once the smoke cleared, the tube began to flicker. He then realized that it was trying to communicate. He built another device that had all sorts of gauges, printable readouts, and even a speaker. He plugged in the tube, and heard a voice. It told him that it was a "liquid energy" called Evadeium and that its container was made to match the current Earth technology. He eventually called the tube the Evadeium Volatile Energy Transmitter, or, E.V.E.T.

In the early 1940's, with the rise of the "super hero" and villains, November designed several devices he could use to aid the heroes on occasion, not going out of his way to become a hero, and devices he experimented with to further his knowledge. The heroes dubbed him "Doctor Energy". He sometimes got caught in his own adventures, and even joined a team of heroes, but his passion was science and he mainly served in a reserve capacity. He designed gadgets for his fellow heroes and even designed the headquarters powered by E.V.E.T. When they called on November, s**t just got real. 

He eventually became the base leader of the team.


Abilities

• scientist, educated in many fields, including Engineering and Quantum, Astro-, Applied and Theoretical Physics of the early 20th century.

• skilled fighter

Equipment

• Evadeium Volatile Energy Transmitter (E.V.E.T.): a glowing vacuum tube filled with "liquid energy" that plugs into a variety of devices and can access most forms of energy, known and unknown. Some of these devices focus and emit that energy from an electrode apparatus on the device, and other devices channel the energy to power equipment in the lab. It can also detect energies, gases, temperatures, etc. It also talks to Doctor Energy through a speaker on each device and warns him of danger, questions his motives, and, occasionally, makes fun of him. It seems to have an unlimited energy capacity.

• a variety of small gadgets and parts kept in his utility belt

Weapons

• a pistol that emits a noxious gas that temporarily affects his enemies.

Notes 
E.V.E.T. exists into the modern time, having been passed down from teacher to student, father to son, etc. E.V.E.T. has never failed in 80 years.

E.V.E.T. can be used to power any sort of real or imagined device for your stories creating all sorts of adventures for November, or your own characters who later owned E.V.E.T.

Ghost Tiger (Open Source)

Real Name: George Timball

Created by: Marz Workman, 10-22-2019

Origin/History

George is a local policeman and former military serviceman. He served during WWII. Upon returning home, he became a policeman. On a certain day, he came across a robbery at a local Chinese gift store. He entered, and, after a short confrontation, he subdued the thief. To show his appreciation, the Chinese man, Leung Mong, gave him a ring. It is not known if Leung knew the ring bestowed power.

Once home, George remembered the ring in his pocket and placed it on his finger. A wash of emotions and thoughts and feelings and pain overtook him. During this ordeal of bestowal, a voice speaking a form of Chinese began to tell him of the power of the ring, and somehow, George understood. When the event ended, George passed out for the night. 

The next morning, George awoke feeling better than he had before the war. He went on duty. During his day, he had chased criminals through the city. During these chases, a few of his powers manifested themselves. Once off duty, he returned to the store where he received the ring, only it was not there. According to the owner of the shop that was there, there was never a Chinese store there as his store had been there for twenty years.

At home, George was overcome with confusion, and he stares at the ring on his finger. All of a sudden, an older Chinese man appears in a ghostly form before George. He explains what the ring does and tells George that he must meditate daily to unlock and master the ring's power. He also says that the power can be used for good or evil, the choice belongs to George.

George begins to meditate daily, slowly over time unlocking new abilities. He also bought a farm outside of town so he could practice his new powers. He discovers that he has the abilities of a ghost and is able to equal or better anyone in combat. So, after a few encounters on duty, using his powers secretly, George decides to don a costume and fight crime off-duty as a super hero. He chooses a tiger for the base of his alter ego, as its symbol is on the ring. Couple that with his ghost-like abilities, and he called himself Ghost Tiger.

Real Name: Shanyn Raynes

Aliases: Spider Queen (II)

Created by: Marz Workman, 10-14-2019

Origin/History 
Shanyn was digging around in her family's attic when she found a box with a costume, the “spider‐web fluid” formula and the set of bracelets her great-grandmother, Shannon Kane, invented. With these items were some news clippings of the Spider Queen. She took the items.

She made the formula and cleaned the bracelets to test if they still worked. Fortunately, they did still worked. She loaded them up an started practicing with them. She also began studying martial arts and gymnastics. After months of training, she decided to don the costume and fight crime as the second Spider Queen. After a few successful outings, she saw herself in the news feeds and on television. She noticed the costume looked dated, so she made an updated version. 

On one of her outings, she ran across the Black Arachnid (II). They happened to be chasing the same crook, so they teamed up and caught the guy. They began teaming and training more often, then, after revealing their identities to one another, they began dating. So, to better match with Max, she designed a new costume and changed her code name. 

At times, they have teamed with Black Arachnid (2.0) and Black Arachness. As a group, they call themselves The Arachnids.

She is a nurse at a local hospital.

Abilities

Djinna (Open Source)

Real Name: Carol Marie Banks

Created by: Marz Workman, 10-07-2019

Origin/History 
Carol is a test subject of the Greys that had taken Black Arachness. After Black Arachness vowed to destroy the Greys, Carol was left abandoned, as were many of the Greys experiments.

She was found by Black Arachness in an unnammed town, inside an old abandoned gas station. After a small battle where Carol showed her powers, she was subdued by Black Arachnid 2.0 and taken to a government holding facility. 

While in custody, General Joseph Parsons (American General) located her family and had them brought to Carol. When her parents arrived, the monster inside her came out, as it did when it fought Black Arachness. The American General calls it a demon, but it reveals itself as a Djinn. It is discovered that the djinn is not under Carol's control and she is merely the vessel for it. (Think of her as a genie lamp.) The djinn explains that the Greys took his vessel, destroyed it, and bonded it to Carol's DNA. It then reveals it's name as Garuko. It is discussed to remove the vessel from Carol.

Some time later, a procedure is developed and put into place. While waiting, Carol and Garuko bond and learn they can communicate telepathically. 

Carol is put into a coma and the procedure begins. Something goes wrong and metal begins to form on her wrists and her vitals go wonky. She suddenly wakes up and is wearing Garuko's bracelets.

It is learned that Garuko did not survive the procedure and that he gave Carol his power.

Black Arachness (Open Source)

Real Name: Anastasia "Ana" Shvets

Other Aliases: The Reaper Ghost

Created by: Marz Workman, 10-3-2019

Origin/History
Ana was living in Russia when she was taken by the Greys, not the Sons of Ivaldi Grays. They took her and experimented with her DNA over a period of time, giving her several abilities, and wiping her mind of who she was, then inserted an amber diamond into her brain. This is how they communicate with her. They also implanted a small, ruby hourglass in the small of her back that is connected to her spine. It is unknown what function it serves. When they were finished, they released her as their weapon of terror (the Reaper Ghost). Her duties to the Greys included raiding isolated villages and towns and capturing humans for experiments and, sometimes, food for the them. 

Once, the diamonds function was blocked by raditation. She lost contact with the Greys, and their hold over her was gone. She regained all of her memories and remembered the horrifying things she did for the Greys. Still  able to speak with them, she vowed to destroy them. Now, her mission is to redeem herself by destroying the Greys and freeing anyone who is a captive experiment. Free from their control, she is lost in the United States of America. She eventually runs across the American General and the Black Arachnid (2.0). After a breif hostile encounter, she tells her story. Ana requests to be allowed to locate the other experiments, which she can find with the diamond in her head. Being a foreign agent on American soil, the American General assigns Black Arachnid to be her handler. He also reminds her that she is a visitor in this country and not to mess up.

After several adventures of hunting the Greys, looking for the other experiments and everyday "hero" work, Everett sees that she has great potential and gives her the code-name of Black Arachness. She later becomes an American citizen and gets a suit to match Everett's, while still retaining the camouflaging properties of her previous suit, and she gets web launchers, becoming an official member of the Black Arachnid family.
