Secret Identity: Garfield Dilbert Hobbes
Background:

Garfield Dilbert Hobbes(His friends call him GH), was a cartoonist and video game programmer. He had fame and fortune, until one day he was hit by a car when a strange light hit him. Taken by some men in black coats, he was operated on and a mystical ring fused to his spine, known as the ring of the giant. This was one of many rings that fell from the sky that day that gave people powers. This organization hoped to use them to turn other people in living weapons, robbing them of their free will. Luckily, GH managed to break out with the help of some other prisoners and was able to resume his previous life, with little to no interaction with his evil organization.

The following two months were hectic GH after his surprisingly speedy recovery. First, he learned that because the ring was fused to him and not worn of the finger like it was meant, the power seems to have gone a bit haywire and his power, the ability to take on the form of a Nordic frost giant, can trigger in very stressful moments. Also once activated, it doesn't seem to want to go away, becoming harder and harder to do so.

The first major break for him was he came back from a bar one night, having hit a lucky scratch ticket in the "win for life" game. Staggeringly drunk, he witnessed 10 people breaking in to a building and carrying out furniture and computers. Whether it was the high from winning the lottery or the booze, after thrashing the would be robbers with a quick slam of his fist, word got out of a monstrous giant terrorizing the neighborhood. To this day, he is still trying to turn his reputation around as a hero. He has avoided the cameras for a while as well as appearing in the day time(only doing so once), limiting himself only to a few people at a time.

With this new windfall of cash from his television show, computer game and lottery money, he is currently looking for a place outside the city so he doesn't have to worry about accidentally transforming in public, which has happened a few times with some of his closest friends discovering his secret. Last thing he wants is all his new found cash to go to the repair costs of the collateral damage he causes. Remember kids, don't drink and drive, or fight crime.

[GleefulNihilism]

Character Name: Aaron Cooper

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Profession: College Freshman.

Ring: Body

Powers: Endrinokinesis, the ability to psychically manipulate biochemistry in himself and others. The most obvious effect of this is that the formerly terminally ill Aaron now has peak human strength, agility, and stamina along with immunity to all known poisons and diseases along with an incredible healing speed. It seems to impart some skills as well, though only physical ones. When he concentrates he can cause effects in others, ranging from healing to attacks based on biochemical reactions.

The downside being that if he ever takes off the ring he not only loses the powers given by the ring but his disease reasserts itself much quicker then it did the first time.
