Username; Character Real Name; Alias; Affinity; Citizenship; Gender; Age; Appearance; His hair is a light blonde colour that's just a bit shorter than shoulder-length, and fairly neat, although it has a habit of becoming quite ruffled when he has to move quickly or he becomes stressed. He doesn't have a visible fringe, though his hair doesn't fall in his eyes or some other such nonsense. Said eyes are a cool grey, and are probably his most memorable feature. They're fairly large, but he often prefers to keep them lidded so as not to draw unwanted attention to himself. His body is all sharp edges - he doesn't have any visible fat nor muscles. If one were to draw him it's unlikely there'd be any curved lines used whatsoever. It reflects his personality, to an extent. He literally cannot stoop - his head is always held high, and he looks down on people no matter who they are. His back is always straight, and his posture always has to be perfect. His mouth is nearly always curved down slightly in a grimace, a flat line on his face or a slight smirk - Semper doesn't show emotions easily, and even when he does they're still hard to distinguish. He is a rather good actor, after all. He knows how to wear a mask and act the part. Whenever he walks each step seems to be precise, each of his actions planned before time. Every time his feet hit the floor there will be a pronounced click as his (rather posh) shoes fall against the ground below him. He has a penchant for the dramatics. Semper can normally be found wearing a suit, if you stumble across him whenhe's not being a supposed 'superhero' - he will more often than not don a plain white Tuxedo, with a pale green shirt underneath. He will use a plain black belt to secure his trousers (plain white, again), and will wear a pair of formal black shoes, more suited for a wedding than anything else. He will also normally wear a matching green tie, but it's not unusual for him to end up taking it off because it irritates him so. When he is parading about saving people (somewhat reluctantly) Semper tends to go for a more inconspicuous ensemble. While many superheroes busy themselves with designing extravagant costumes Semper goes out of his way to appear semi-normal. He doesn't want to be well-known; he prides himself in being one of those people that looks completely normal until he does something incredible. So when Semper is out doing super-hero business he will swap his suit for plain, black trousers and a t-sh*t, covered by a thick, hard-wearing khaki green jacket. Said jacket will normally be dotted with various pockets and buckles and so forth, but to an extent Semper appears semi-normal. He doesn't actually tend to use his pockets, though - he stores all of his items in his pocket-dimension. Semper's jacket appears fairly thin to the naked eye, so people tend to under-estimate how much stuff he has with him. Semper relies on the shadows created by his top-hat to obscure his features. To be honest, if anything Semper looks almost homeless when he wears his superhero outfit, but if it keeps his identity a secret he's all for it. Superpowers; This pocket-dimension can be altered, to an extent, when Semper feels any particularly strong emotion, but the changes are often random and uncontrollable. Semper can use this pocket-dimension to seemingly disappear and the reappear to and from any place he has visited before almost instantaneously. He can open and close these portals at will, but becoming distracted or, again, suffering from any particularly strong emotion can impede this ability. Others can follow Semper into this pocket-dimension, but will often become trapped inside. If one were to be half-way through a portal and Semper were to close said portal the person would be literally torn in half - although the same could easily happen to Semper if he were to be distracted. Semper cannot force people into one of his portals by any means - they must enter of their own free will. While he can supposedly only transport himself to somewhere he has visited before he can attempt to go somewhere new, but this will, undoubtably, result in Semper being spat out into an alternate dimension of some description. Semper can only create portals on solid surfaces or in the air - if he attempts to create one on a liquid they will, again, spit him out into an alternate dimension instead. If Semper creates portals in the air they only last for a short amount of time before they seal themselves. Talents; Equipment; Origin/Backstory; He attended a private academy for most of his years, before he was kicked out for ungentlemanly conduct (namely blackmailing the other students to the extent it became a serious hindrance to the school to have such a student lurking within their ranks). His parents didn't care too much for their misbehaving child, and while Semper was not neglected he wasn't greatly involved in his parents' lives either way. Nonetheless this didn't bother him in the slightest. Semper had always been quick, but his powers weren't developed until he reached the age of 16. Semper had a habit of stealing things - small things, nothing of any consequence - solely because he liked showing the upper-class people his family associated themselves with that they were never completely free from evil. He had been attempting to pickpocket one of the more prominent politicians his parents liked to mingle with. He had been caught, for perhaps one of the first times ever. Semper was fully aware of exactly how badly in trouble he'd be, especially with the man's wallet still grasped firmly in his hand even as he let out a yell of outrage. Semper had literally wanted to disappear. Of course such wishes rarely, if ever, come true, and so instead Semper's brain seemed to activate it's own defense mechanism - namely forcing Semper to faint. When he awoke Semper found himself inside of the pocket-dimension he would later come to know and love, confusion his only prominent emotion at the time. It would take him three days before he was able to create a portal out of the dimension, and six more before he was able to create one back in again, but when he was 18 Semper had finally developed enough control over his powers to be considered safe. Whether Semper's powers manifested themselves due to the adrenaline rush or the rush just unlocked some latent abilities not even Semper himself is sure. How he was set on the path of sort-of-good, however, is less difficult to explain completely. There is often a turning point in someone's life, where they realise with utter certainty exactly what they want to do with their life. Semper never had one. His skills at pickpocketing led him onto become a small-time thief, funnily enough, as opposed to a hero at first, and while it was not an often occurence Semper did enjoy the thrill of stealing with such ease. The transition from villain to hero was a gradual one, triggered through a variety of unsual circ*mstances which led to Semper unknowingly saving a bus full of people just by being there at the right time. The praise he recieved from performing such a feat was more than enough to convince Semper that perhaps he could live with being considered a hero, especially if the monetary rewards he occasionally recieved were anything to go by. Semper, even now, will occasionally spend some time pickpocketing, or go waltzing into people's homes uninvited just for the hell of it, but more often than not his focus is still on preserving the well-being of others (so long as he'll get something out of it).

Semi-reluctant anti-hero, but a superhero nonetheless. That being said he will easily shift to the side of villainy when it suits him - such a time being whenever he's being bribed.

Sempre is fairly tall, and rather pale-skinned. He's rather thin and quite frankly frail, but he's incredibly agile even if he isn't gifted with incredible strength. Semper has a lithe figure, and his bones are rather prominent - mostly his cheekbones - and it gives him an almost aristocratic appearance.
The ability to create portals leading into and out of a pocket-dimension.
Proficient at parkour.
Fairly stealthy.
Intellectually gifted.
Finds people easy to manipulate.
Twin daggers, with intricate patterns engraved on the hilts.
Boots specifically designed to make no sound whilst walking.
Hard-wearing gloves, as creating portals often causes his hands to burn - wearing gloves helps prevent this.
Semper's parents had always been brilliant politicians. With a knack for lying and an innate ability to manipulate people Semper had grown up with the knowledge of how easy people could be convinced to do things firmly imprinted in his mind. His family had a vast history, and a rich heritage, so it was unsurprising that he lived a rich and lavish lifestyle for most of his life.
