Name: Rook

Is your identity public or secret?: Secret

Age: Appears mid-20s

Gender/sexuality: Male, heterosexual

Appearance (general): Rook appears to be of Western/Northern European descent, with light brown hair and blue eyes. He's a hair over 7ft in height and is built like a Mack truck wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley or otherwise. He generally moves confidently, sure of himself and his body but takes care around people and things that might be fragile.

Costume: Rook's costume is a tight but sturdy material in a black and white pattern with a red stylized chess piece emblem. There is a half mask that covers the lower part of his face.

Personality: Those who have seen Rook on the news or in action before might describe his as straightforward, a get-the-job-done type who left more of the finesse interviews to other teammates. After recent events he is adrift again, both looking to fit in and cautious about whether he should.

Interests/hobbies/likes/dislikes/pet peeves: A lot of the things (bands, movies) he likes and references may seem a bit dated. He can enjoy watching sporting events, especially the Olympics. He enjoys the outdoors and physical activity though most is not very challenging anymore but can also find quiet times and a good (or trashy) book relaxing.

Background:(Earlier background to come out in play) Rook was one of the superheroes breaking into the superhero scene in Chicago several years ago as part of the group Checkmate. More recently it was revealed that King and Queen were using the group as part of a long-term ploy. Rook turned against them and helped bring the group down. Rook kept the name for now and tried to continue on solo for a time until he got the invitation to come to Smackatoa for an attempt at another reset.

Powers/abilities (general): Rook is amazingly strong and tough, able to dish out and take serious damage. He also exhibits short bursts of super-speed, mostly seen with moving short distances in a blink or delivering a lightning-fast punch.
