Fireteam Character in Villain Academy | World Anvil

Fireteam

Fireteam is a relatively recent addition to the Top Hero rooster, taking the position of the Top Hero of West Virginia soon before the First Villain War. He has remained in his position ever since, lacking firepower when compared to true juggernauts but also being extremely hard to kill.   He is often considered to be one of the best examples of a hero with a relatively weak individuality managing to raise very high in the rankings thanks to hard work and good training.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Well trained, muscular and physically strong.

Special abilities

His individuality is called One-Man Army. Fireteam can split himself into up to twelve copies of himself, each of them virtually indistinguishable from a normal person. They can talk, they can make decisions on their own, they basically ARE Fireteam himself. There is no 'original' body to speak of, instead they are all him. Fireteam can only be killed by simultaneous deaths of all instances of himself.   The instances in question cannot leave a kilometer distance from each other or they'll die and begin to rapidly decompose into an organic sludge. Unless killed or 'lost' in that way, instances can merge with each other, sharing their memories with the resulting singular instance. Fireteam weaponized that mechanism not only for combat but also for accelerated training and learning.   Fireteam has simultaneously pursued several different careers in order to expand his own potential skillset. He is not only a well-trained counterterrorist but also an equally well-trained firefighter and a paramedic. Expect him to be able to pull out completely unexpected skills out of nowhere, Fireteam's copies constantly on the lookout for new skills (or training the crucial ones he already obtained) that can expand his capabilities as a hero.   When in critical situation, Fireteam can instantly bloom eleven copies (it'll make the remaining ones out there wilt, their recent memories lost) of himself with identical equipment to what he has on him right now (although the equipment itself, unless an original, will wilt when the copy is destroyed or merged, even if it's no longer on them). You can expect him to treat himself expendable for as long as at least one of the copies is outside of the danger range and the situation calls for it.

Apparel & Accessories

His equipment varies between deployments. Typically he is decked in full gear of a police officer from a counter-terrorist unit but can also equip himself as a firefighter in order to participate in rescue operations. There is always a small flag of West Virginia displayed somewhere.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

When Fireteam's individuality awoke, he has just managed to become recruited to the counterrorist unit of the local police in the state of Florida. He decided to effectively combine his present career with heroism, effectively merging his previous skillset with his individuality. The result was a birth of a rather unique superhero.   He has moved to West Virginia from Florida soon after the onset of his individuality, finding a less populous state to be a place when he could actually get promoted further. He stayed loyal to the government during the First Villain War, and somehow succeeded in avoiding death many times over.

Intellectual Characteristics

Reasonably intelligent and skillful as a tactician, capable of reacting correctly to changes on the battlefield and applying his individuality and combat skills correctly, but being above average intellectually rather than brilliant.

Morality & Philosophy

A model police officer, putting in a lot of effort into his job in order to serve the public (and actually does a good job at it). Does his part when the PR side of the job is involved, but sticks to the least controversial charity events and appears to be avoiding being involved in anything even remotely political. Appears to be a bit of a work-a-holic, although he appears to have calmed that down significantly once he succeeded in becoming the Top Hero of a State, implying that at least to a degree he was motivated by treating heroics as a career.

Personality Characteristics

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Strengths
Highly skilled combatant, that can also easily double as a paramedic, firefighter and a members of a few more professions. Most of his instances are treated as utterly expandable, which lets him maintain a steady supply of cannonfodder. It also makes him nigh-unkillable, because for as long as there is at least a single copy left, he'll be perfectly fine.
 
Weaknesses
Lacks firepower to go against more powerful villains, being basically limited to the level of an extremely skillful and trained normal human-level combatant. Is, in the end, squishy.
