Rook
Hero Name: Rook
Real Name: Josep Youn
Some people call me Joe though honestly I dont really have a preference.
Look:
Abilities: Photographic reflexes (acrobatics and martial arts)
Josep is not a physically imposing figure. He stands in at 510 with a wiry, athletic build though the loose yet stylish clothing he tends to wear hides it. He prefers to keep his hair on the short side though still long enough to be styled if the mood ever strikes him. His eyes are dark and while there are some who claim they are the windows to the soul that is certainly the case for him on occasion. It is easy to tell what is on his mind just from his expression. The norm is a sense of excitement or optimism in his eyes. Unfortunately for him or at least in his opinion it is unfortunate that he suffers from what most would call a baby face. He hates the fact especially since his face is incapable of growing any sort of facial hair. Overall with his looks, stance and everything else it is safe to say he does not come across as outstanding in any way with many not even noticing at times.
Josep's Homecoming Attire
Roil
The being that has been adopted by Rook is small in stature as it normally stands in at around ten inches. Normally being the operative word as it can make itself smaller due to well being Roil. The creature looks like a little brown/grayish blob with limbs along with little amber eyes and mouth. Those are the only facial features it possesses and the only other noticeable traits are the amber lines that could possibly be its veins. When it is in complete darkness its veins along with its eyes glow in the dark and there times when its emotions causes the color to change to change briefly as if to indicate when its emotions run high or low. It can bring its limbs into its body until it resembles a ball or stretch them out long as well as harden its body into a rock like substance. When it comes to communication it makes noises that sound like bubbled garbles that no one but Rook seems to understand for whatever reason. It also seems childlike in nature and mannerisms as well as having a sense of curiosity that can be trying to say the least.

- How did you gain your skills?
Thats a little hard to pin down but I think it was a couple years ago. For whatever reason I can copy the physical movements of others so one day after watching kung fu movie at the local movie theater someone tried to mug me. Next thing I know I was doing moves from that movie and wiped the floor with that guy. I might have been more excited if I wasnt worried about making sure the guy was okay. Since then Ive been watching everything I can to build up a bank of moves. I know, its not much of a story but hey not every heros origin story is chock full of exciting moments.
- When did you first put on your costume?
Almost a year ago and after a few incidents where I tried to help people and was almost recognized. I decided I was going to give the whole hero thing a go and whats a hero without their costume? Took me forever to make it but that just makes me like it all the more.
- Who, outside of the team, thinks you shouldnt be a superhero?
Pretty much everyone, I mean all I can do is flip around and punch people. Compare that to other heroes and what I can manage is pretty underwhelming. If I had to name one person in particular it would be this hero, Vigil whos recognized as a pretty big deal given hes beloved by the city to the point a lot of adults and kids are wearing his symbol on their clothes. Back when I first put on my costume I sorta found myself in a situation that was way over my head. Vigil arrived and saved my butt. He told me that a rookie like me should hang up the costume or this would all end in misery for me. Something about that struck a chord in me and I told him I didnt care if it did because Im not doing this for me. The exchange also gave me an idea for my hero name. He did call me rookie so rookie Rook? Its a stretch I know but its better than anything else I thought up.
- Why do you try to be a hero?
Why does anyone try something? Because they want to and this is no different. I know someone like me cant make much of a difference but we all have to pull their weight. Who knows, maybe someday Ill surprise myself and actually be a hero instead of trying to be. Until then Ill keep at it and try to have a bit of fun as well. Whats the point of doing anything if you dont enjoy it?
- Why do you care about the team?
Thats kinda hard to put into words. Obviously I care about them because theyre my friends. Honestly, theyre all heroes even if there are times some of them dont see themselves that way. Im actually surprised at times they let me hang around since Im basically deadweight. I guess thats another reason why I like them so much. Well that and they make me want to try harder at being a hero even though I can never catch up to them.
