Inspired by Teen Titans, Young Justice and other side-kick get together teams.
-----
In a world filled with heroes whom save the day, defeat criminals and looking good in spandex. However there is an element that is over looked. The side-kick element that is. Side-kicks are range from ascended fanboys who find out their hero's secret identity and soon become their partner to forced into the role when they've lost everything else. Now a small group of sidekicks decide to try their hand at being a team.
---
Roles Needed

* The Hero ? The leader of the group. Can be clean-cut and upstanding, bold and charismatic, serious and driven, or some combination of the three. (Taken)
* The Lancer ? The second-in-command, usually a contrast to The Hero. If the Hero is clean-cut and/or uptight, the Lancer is a grizzled Anti Hero or Deadpan Snarker; if the Hero is driven and somewhat amoral, the Lancer is more relaxed and level-headed. (Reserved)
* The Smart Guy ? The physically weak, but intelligent or clever member. Often nerdy and awkward played for comic relief. Sometimes unconventionally young (early- to mid-teens). Sometimes a trickster and a buddy of the Big Guy. May be the one with all the "street" connections. (Taken)
* The Big Guy ? The strongman of the team. May be dumb. Or mute.
* The Chick ? A peacekeeping role to balance out the other members aggression, bringing them to a nice or at least manageable medium. The Chick is often considered the heart of the group. Not always female, but the role is usually taken by the Token Girl (hence the name). Sometimes referred to as "the useless girl".

Villians

Now usually we just need the big bad and his mooks but here is the five bad band.

* The Big Bad - Counterpart to The Hero. Large And In Charge, with an inner circle of mooks to do their bidding and often also an Evil Army as well. Often will be more difficult to identify early on because of the very nature of a Big Bad. Occasionally pulls double duty as the Evil Genius. (Taken)
* The Dragon - Counterpart to The Lancer. Usually more physical than their boss, and commonly the most trusted member of the bunch. Good for leading Mooks, and sometimes the most 'classy' looking. Much like The Lancer, in the absence of a Sixth Column, The Dragon is the most likely to betray the team (especially if they're The Starscream), and may bear their share of resentment towards the Big Bad. More likely to be The Hero's Evil Counterpart or Worthy Opponent within the context of the story than the Big Bad is. (Taken)
* The Evil Genius - Counterpart to The Smart Guy. Operates the weapons or acts as Mission Control for the others. Often essential to the evil scheme; their screwing up could mean the entire thing falls apart. Most likely of this group to be Bad Boss'd for this very reason. Ironically, being less manically evil doesn't make them a better candidate for a Heel Face Turn, as they are often just completely amoral. More prone to insanity or other quirks then others. Very likely to be a Mad Scientist.
* The Brute - Counterpart to The Big Guy. If the Dragon doesn't lead the Mooks, they will. While likely not better in a fight than The Dragon, is often the most physically powerful and often the most sadistic. Likes to fight and get his hand dirty, and is usually second best to the Dragon at doing so. Oh, and they are big, and sometimes (but not always) pretty dim.
* The Dark Chick - The counterpart to The Chick, they can vary quite significantly, and is chiefly defined by looking or acting wildly different from the other members, adding color to the group. It's this member that stands out for one reason or another, and may be considered the "freak" or loose cannon of the group, particularly by her own members. If in an optimistic setting, she will be the one most likely to be redeemed and not die horrifically. If not, then she becomes a one part Dominatrix and one part Yandere for The Hero (if male) if she holds any type of romantic interest towards him at all. Or just one or the latter.

Name: Curtis Akkenai

Alias: Dragon

Age: 25

Civ Appearence: Curtis walks around with confidence, white hair that goes in all directions, very frizzy but clean and fluffy.

Sidekick appearence: Curtis does not do much to conceal his identity, only a small white mask covering his face. He wears a suit to battle in. Just a regualar looking suit on the outside, but he got is armored and fire proof by his Villian. His mask is a plain white painters mask, also remade to be fire proof and armoured.

<spoiler=Character>


<spoiler=His Mask>


Power: Curtis's power stems from his hate from the human world. He can control 2 of the elements and bring them out at his will. Darkness and Fire where the elements, earning him is nickname. The Darkness add's to the power of his fire and as a distraction. He occasioanlly uses nothing but the attack of darkness, but mainly for melee. Forming a sword of darkness, with a hint of fire around the darkness. His armor is mainly resilient to fire, but can withstand a half hearted strike of the sword, or a bullet from a handgun.

Personality: Curtis is very confident, he hates this world for all the bad things they have done generally and to him personally. Though he acts fake towards everyone around him, to seem like he is happy.

Villian: Nightmare. A villian who could turn himself into a monstor at will, it was a dark evil monster who would kill almost everything when turned.

History: Curtis had spent the first 15 years of his life in happyness, oblivous to his powers. One night, when he went to a friends party, he had heard that his house had been broken into. He rushed home, to find his parents ripped limb from limb. It was at that moment he realied the extent of his powers. He fell to his knees and let darkness surround him, then, in a scream, letting fire roar from his mouth, setting his home alight.

He spent a year in an orphanage before convincing a court that he could be emancipated and live on his own. He quickly got a job as an actor, since he had spent an entire year pretending to be someone else, ignoring what had happened to his family, and his powers, pretending to be a bright and happy young man. He acte din a few movies, preffering to take the jobs were he could let his true colours shine, the bad guy.

Just after one of his shoots, a man approached him, claiming he knew his secret. He said he could see his acting and knew that when he played a bad guy, he was serious. He had researched his name and found that every place he seemed to go to, burnt down, and that he had a dark aura around him. Curtis dissmissed him, claiming the guy was crazy. The guy would not take no for an answer, and jumped towards him, turning into a beast mid jump.

Curtis quickly drew a darkness blade and slashed out, lighting his arm on fire. The beast turned back to human shape and smiled, saying he could help with his anger. Curtis relunctantly accepted his offer.

He ran around with 'Nightmare', going around to earn lots of money. Curtis however, refused to kill anyone innocent, claiming "there has been enough suffering and pain in this world, I do not wish to add more", Nightmare growled at this each time, but accepted his decision.

Nooow its done. Btw, Im going for the Head Honcho here, hope its good enough. I'm open for changes.
