Height: 1.80 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 73.00 kg	Eyes: Gray
Appearance: Pete's blonde hair and blue eyes have turned black and gray respectively since the accident. He wears comfortable clothes often with a long gray overcoat (he is almost immune to temperature extremes and wearing a long coat in New Mexico amuses him). His costume is a deep red, metallic bosysuit with gold gloves and boots. When he activates his forcefield he appears to be a flaming man made of molten gold.
Personality: Pete is still a soldier, he serves the American People as Firelord as he did as Lt. Peter James, the uniform is just different. As the most potent of the Atomic Rangers and the most tactically sound, Pete is generally considered the teams leader.
Quote:"Remember Kids, don't play with matches and you won't get burned."
Background: Peter James was one of a number of former soldiers working for the defense contractor, PulseTech. James had shown technical know how and a disciplined approach that PulseTech looked for and he eventually became the project leader for the Furite Blast weapon. The weapon was a design of flame thrower that didn't rely on a large fuel pack for energy. The cells that Peter and his team had developed were in their prototype stage when Pete, having been in meetings all day came to the lab late one night and saw one of his team busily copying files. Knowing industrial espionage when he saw it; Pete immediately called security and in a fit of overconfidence, confronted the man. The spy, a VIPER undercover specialist, proved to be Pete's physical superior. During the struggle, Pete was knocked into the prototype. The spy had sabatoged the prototype and he simply detonated it. For a second Pete thought he saw the golden light he'd heart about. He felt no pain and when his eyes adjusted to the light and sound around him, he realized that he had been transformed by the Cell's explosion. The security team arrived and took both men into custody. Pete went peacefully and figured out how to "power down" really quickly. He decided to put his new abilities to the good of the public. Pete took the name Firelord from a comic book in his youth (and he's received permission from the creators and owners of said character in exchange for producing the Atomic Rangers and Firelord comic lines based off of his image and adventures).
Powers/Tactics: Firelord's tactics stem from the versatility of his abilities. Able to create and manipulate fire and his "Firey Arsenal" allows him to affect a wide variety of potent attacks. His defenses are average but he has enhanced speed and reaction time, he tends to keep his distance.

Appearance: Rose is short but has a powerful build. She wears her hair in a bun and loose clothing in her job as a librarian. When active as the Flying Lotus, she wears a tight, red top and billowy white kung fu pants. She wears a white domino mask as well as letting her hair down.
Personality: A very civic minded woman, Rose has accepted the role of heroine in her community by her family's elders. She feels proudest when she helps the people in some way. She is often more comfortable in her role as heroine than librarian, but she finds the work in the library to be equally fulfilling.
Quote:"I do not think that your present course of action will bring you the desired results."
Background: Rose Chen is a librarian by day and a superheroine by night. She uses her Kung Fu skills and quasi mystical abilities to battle crime in New Mexico along with the other members of the Atomic Rangers.
Powers/Tactics: A mystic based martial artist, Rose is skilled in hand to hand combat and capable of great physical feats. She is deceptively strong and hearty.
Campaign Use: Standard costumed martial artist but she operates in an out of the way place.

Height: 1.82 m	Hair: Blonde
Weight: 100.00 kg	Eyes: Blue
Appearance: Classically handsome hero with blue eyes, blonde hair and all american muscular physique. His armor appears to be a modern version of roman Legionairre armor with a full face plate (only his eyes showing) and armored leggings. His armor is silver, his cape is white with blue trim. The Plume in his helm is blue.
Personality: A thrill seeker and lover of fame and glory, Alex has taken to the role of hero quickly. Responsibility has been a little slower in coming. He tends to fight harder in front of cameras and pretty ladies. He won't abandon his team but he might try to cut and run if they meat too much resistance.
Quote:"The pain I will heap upon you will be Legion, get it?"
Background: Alex Reece has superhuman physical characteristics. He claims to have gotten them after being bitten by a radioactive scoprion, but no one believes him. He does not show up on Mutant Scanners though. When he and some other wannabe heroes failed to make the highly publicized Victory Squad, they decided to form their own team. A fellow hero, Widget, helped him build his armored costume and flight suit.
Powers/Tactics: A flying brick with high agility and low super strength. He backs this up with boxing skill.

Height: 2.00 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 150.00 kg	Eyes: Blue
Appearance: A tall and buff young man with perfect teeth, skin, and hair. He wears a white body suit with blue gloves, boots, belt and harness. He wears no mask.
Personality: Lifter is an easy going fellow. He has spend most of his life as a beach bum and body builder, but now he sees his superheroic career as a higher purpose. He has actually started taking criminology classes at the local university (one of the team's weaknesses). He's proven smarter than he appears.
Quote:"If I stop lifting, I die."
Background: Lifter is a mutant with superhuman strength. His upper limit has never been tested but he tires quickly if he routinely lifts more than about 25 Tons. He was born and raised in So Cal, and moved to New Mexico to try out for the Victory Squad, but like many others he was left off the final roster. When a number of the jilted heroes decided to stay together and form a team, Lifter agreed to lend his strength to the cause. Jason's younger sister has also started attending school at St. John's New Mexico. She has also exhibited limited superhuman strength and often gets under Jason's foot trying to "Help Out" she calls herself Thundara.
Powers/Tactics: Lifter is a standard brick but he can really push himself beyond normal limits. His STR for Pushing is 100. For normal use, his strength is 50. He is slightly more agile and quicker than the average person. He can take a beating too.
Campaign Use: Lifter is an "amalgam" of the example character in Hero5 and the Lifter from Wildguard: Casting Call. Who knows, perhaps the comic book Lifter will prove to be very similar to the Hero one....

Height: 1.70 m	Hair: Brown
Weight: 68.00 kg	Eyes: Brown
Appearance: Wendy is a fit and attractive young woman with a cheerful personality and an adventurous streak a mile wide. She will try almost anything once. She can be serious, but she doesn't like to stay that way. The Sunset Kid wears a stylized armored cowgirl uniform. Combat boots instead of cowboy boots, a white hat, her trade mark round glasses, and a leather duster. Her hi-tech guns appear to be vintage six shooters. Her lasso has a metallic golden sheen. Her pants and neckerchief are red, her duster is gray, and her shirt is denim blue. Her boots, gloves, and belt are black.
Personality: The Sundset Kid is a "gimmick" and she knows it. She is popular with the media, having charm, wit, and grace when being interviewed. She tried originally to be a "true cowgirl" in her Sunset persona, but she eventually gave it up. She is more confident in the public relations part of hero-ing; setting a good example, doing public service announcements, et al., but she can hold her own in a fight. Wendy is in this for the thrills and the chance to do well.
Quote:"I do believe I have you covered, Shadow Dragon. What are you doing in these parts anyhow?"
Background: Wendy Allusade was always fascinated by tales of the old west. Her family moved to New Mexico when she was eleven. She began riding horses that summer. When she graduated high school she joined a local rodeo, by this time she was a fair trick shooter, rope user, and all round showman. She worked for a few theme parks on the west coast but felt a call to something higher. She began college later that year taking pre-med. Working a local theme park to earn her tuition; Wendy found herself in the papers one day when a young kid attempted to rob the gate. She used her lasso to stop him, and although the robbery was real; most of the customers present thought it was part of the act. Wendy enjoyed the media coverage, and the owners of the park, in gratitude paid for her entire freshman year. She continued to work as a trick shooting, lassoing cowgirl on weekends, but began to feel that maybe she could be more. Training intensely for the next three years while allowing her studies to slip, she made herself a modern day desperado outfit (lightly armored) and took her skills to the streets. As the Sunset Kid, she tried unsuccessfully to join the publicity seeking Victory Corps. The Corps was a publicity stunt by a few local heroes who held a public "try out" for their team. Wendy's skills intrigued them, but she was passed over in the end. A few of the others who weren't chosen decided to form their own team known as the Atomic Rangers; Wendy was asked to join and accepted. The Atomic Rangers are now based in New Mexico on land owned by Wendy's parents.
Powers/Tactics: Thanks to Widget, the team gadgeteer, the Sunset Kid has some true firepower at her hips. She wears a light armored costume, has a concealed radio, variable ammunition six-shooters, and an extremely sturdy lasso. She also has "Copper", the robot horse. Copper can fly as well as cruise at high land speeds. Sunset has trained diligently to be able to ride and fight while Copper is in the air. She has also studied Flying Lotus's Kung Fu and can hold her own in hand to hand combat.
Campaign Use: The Sunset Kid is a half hearted attempt at a serious superhero. She is along the lines of Shooting Star of Marvel Comics fame. Not only is she an able combatant and spokes person; she has completed her medical certification and is a licensed Doctor. She is an expert at meta-human treatment; at least as far as her team mates go.

Height: 1.37 m	Hair: Black
Weight: 68.00 kg	Eyes: Brown
Appearance: A short man, but thickly muscular. He has thick black hair and beard, brown eyes and an infectious grin. He wears a gray jump suit with black boots, gloves, and utility belt. His holster and combat harness are white. THere is a white "W" in a black circle on his right shoulder. He wears a headset/goggle combination but doesn't try to hide who he is.
Personality: Although he's been accused of having "Short Man's Syndrome", Perry has never considered himself angry or overcompensating for anything. He has an incurable scientific curiosity and a desire to experience new things. He also holds his fellow man in high regard and has sworn to protect the innocent from the machinations of a gaggle of morally stunted intellectuals.
Quote:"Here, catch." "I wonder what this does."
Background: Perry Walters, short in stature but great in intellect, collected his first PhD from CalTech when he was only 15. He has an extensive list of patents to his name. He decided to become more than a wealthy industrialist and after a brief but intense training period, he developed an arsenal of crimefighting tools and embarked on a career as the heroic Widget. He tried to join the Victory Squad but was practically laughed out of the auditions. He and some of the other "cast offs" formed the Atomic Rangers.
Powers/Tactics: Skilled in a variety of sciences, Widget has produced a veritable arsenal of equipment in which to fight crime. He also has spent much of the last three years rigorously training his body, and has become a skilled, if unorthadox hand to hand fighter.
