Recruits
[Santa Prisca : 04/08/2010]
07:39 A.M.
The Island of Santa Prisca went through a huge change, what before was a bunch of simple villages, now it was a complex system of small towns that mixed with the flora, and in the north of the island occupying the space of two soccer stadiums there were a huge installation.
This was QG B08, an installation that would serve as the main base for the operations of the organization led by Roberto da Costa the Sunspot, it was full of scientists and guards using the most modern equipment, the entire installation was built using a new concept that had as a base for Luz-dura and other equipment, this base was a test for what would be carried out throughout Brazil.
Going further into the installation, you could see Sunspot in his office, it was very spacious and with the most diverse props, he wore an expensive suit and a few luxury accessories, like a watch and an earring in his left ear, beside him were two of his assistants, they were now organizing the files of the organization's superhuman individuals.
"Okay gentlemen let's see what you've got together." Roberto said as he took the files and then activated holographic screens with the acquired data, he could see that there was a lot of data and it cheered him up.
"Well, sir, as you can see, we didn't have many metahumans here in Brazil, and that's why most of them came from the experiments orchestrated by your company Alchemax, which made a lot of progress with the volunteers." Ernesto da Cruz, a tall man with 1.84 said he was already in his forties and had a constant mustache that reminded Roberto of Iron Man from the comics.
"But we also found some Metahumans outside our borders who accepted to join the organization, coming from Mexico, Argentina, China, Kenya and Haiti, all with very interesting and varied abilities." Manuel Rodrigues, a short man, 1.65 meters tall, with just a small beard and a chubby but not obese body, he was the oldest in the room at fifty years old.
"Well let's get started then." Roberto said while analyzing the sent files, the first to appear was a beautiful woman with greenish white hair.
"Beatriz da Costa, coming from Rio de Janeiro, age twenty-four, suffered an accident with a thermal bomb that awakened her powers, she can and generate green flames that cause damage only in what she chooses to destroy, has fighting skills , flying and has certain enhanced physical attributes , currently works as a model but in her spare time she acts as a super heroine codenamed Fire." As Ernesto described, Fire wore a short green shirt that showed off her midriff, tight but agile green pants, and a sash around her waist, not to mention a structural body and fiery beauty.
Roberto couldn't help noticing the irony of his name being the same as hers, not to mention the similar abilities, no doubt the Primordial beings known as writers weren't that creative when it comes to names, after all fire powers and being called Fire are well without salt in his opinion.
"Miriam Delgado, from the south of Acre, age nineteen, developed her powers after a case of persecution, her former boyfriend did not accept the termination well and wanted to get rid of her, she awakened psionic powers, her main ability is the ability to generate mirages and changing the appearance of things, her skills include a small range of martial arts and acting, the name she chose was Mirage." Ernesto presented, a tall young woman with a slender body and tanned skin, black hair and brown eyes.
"Well, we're doing fine, anyone else from Brazil?" Roberto asked excitedly.
"Well...just another one who gained powers without interference and not a super human but an experienced fighter and vigilante." Manuel said a bit disconcerted after seeing Roberto's somewhat disappointed reaction.
"Very well, continue with them after we leave for the foreign members." Roberto said recovering his good mood quickly, Ernesto decided to continue.
"Ya'Wara is a warrior of the Tapirapé tribe, from the Amazon rainforest, aged thirty-two, her basic powers are super strength, super agility and enhanced senses, but she seems to have a certain telepathic bond with animals, not to mention her abilities. unrivaled fighting skills, the deadliest on the roster thus far, she doesn't have a codename." Ernesto presented, Ya'Wara was a strong woman, with indigenous traits and typical clothes of her people, along with a necklace of crocodile teeth.
"Santiago Vargas, from Minas Gerais, thirty-nine years old, is not a superhuman, but he is a capable fighter with the ability to handle several forms of bladed and firearms, an experienced fighter with a certain career as a vigilante, he retired a few years ago but accepted our invitation, he is from an Argentine family, codenamed El Gaúcho." The image of a strong and built man appeared, he only wore a red mask that covered his face and head, leaving a mustache showing, black jacket and usual clothes.The two looked at Ernesto, he defended himself by saying that he was a fan of Zorro and decided to pursue this type of crime fighting.
"So these were the last two that we caught in Brazil that acted before we appeared, now let's see the Meta-humans that Alchmax developed." Roberto said with the new files appearing on the holographic screens, this time it was Manuel who presented.
"Miguel O'Hara, recruited from Santos, nineteen years old, enrolled voluntarily from the University, brilliant student, specialist in biochemistry, the acquired powers came from experiments with genomes of spiders of various types, and thanks to the Meta-genes he developed abilities specific to each type spider that he studied, strength, agility, endurance, reflexes, and a sixth sense of danger, not to mention claws on his fingers and fangs with paralyzing poison, the name we gave him was Spider Man, he developed a device that shoots synthetic webs." The Image of Miguel, a brown young man with brown hair and eyes of the same color, now with the body of an Olympic gymnast in a black suit with a red spider.

The image of a young black woman with straight hair, when her powers are active a skin of magma forms around her.
"Maria Molina, seventeen years old, coming from Bahia, is the complete opposite of the aforementioned, being able to transform her body into a liquid state, she manages to manipulate this state of water with mastery and can be useful in situations of fire or drought, until now we haven't found a limit to how long she can stay in this form, but it's recommended not to stay in it that long, her codename is Aquamaria." An image of a young blonde girl in a swimsuit appeared, in her water form she was almost like a water spirit.
"The last one who was allowed to participate is Enrico Soares, twenty-three years old from Paraná, he has developed the ability to manipulate and strengthen plant life, from plants to fruits, we see great potential in him to strengthen and renew our fauna and flora , he chose the name FloraMan."

A beautiful Asian woman with glasses and blue snow suit appeared, she had some kind of thermal gun.
"*whistle* , I didn't know China had such a variety." Roberto said slightly surprised.

"Anansi, from Haiti, from what we gathered he is a former slave from the American civil war period, gained his powers after his death, gained enhanced skills, adherence to surfaces and his best power the generation of illusions, we do not know his name because he refused to give it, but I believe he is a good person."
