Stage Fright
The late twenties Extra born in Yorkadelphia City, blessed with the might to lift a building with ease, the speed to run across water with out sinking, the intelligence to disarm an atom bomb, the hearing and sight a god would be jealous of and lastly the pure destruction of a powerful green laser (that emanates from his eyes). But all this power comes at a price for all this godly power Stage Fright is cursed with a crippling social anxiety disorder. Making it nearly impossible for him to make appearances in public and get the well deserved credit he deserves for countlessly saving Yorkadelphia City.
Due to his immense power, against his wishes, he is the leader of the mighty Octarches, an assemblance of Extras that protects Fair city from the dasterdly plots of Extra-Villians such as Centhorse and Jeweler, and squares off in Epic battles with the Villainous Four Seasons. He feels consistently underappreciated for selflessly playing the role of hero a role he is not comfortable in and does not want, Stage Fright simply wants to; drink tea, hole up, occasionally bowl, play some Civ and be left alone.

Constellation
In the prime of her life Constellation is a early twenties powerhouse. She grew up on the hard streets Las Troit as a kid and later moved to the even rougher City of Chicomptown with her family. From a working class family who started with little and then quickly grew to riches upon moving to Chicomptown. Never straying from a goodtime Constellation matured quickly and found the devastating range of her abilities. With the power to animate constellations into real world giant representations of them, people of Chicomptown and later realized that the mere threat of using her powers was often a power great enough.
As a young adult she fled from her family to the great land of riches and opportunity “Yorkadelphia City”. Through threats of violence and verbal and mental abuse Constellation was soon induced to the Octarches the most powerful Extra team ever known. Quickly rising through the ranks she currently is the second most powerful Octarch, second only to their leader Stage Fright. She is the only Octarch to have a sidekick (Horoscope), which she uses as a verbal, emotional, and mental abuse punching bag. Additionally she use’s this same form of bullying (and ironic flirtation) to prop Captain Comet as her puppet to have the control of the Octarches in the palm of her hand with none of the side effects of being a bigger target as leader of the Octarches.

Captain Comet
Privileged Man-Child, Captain Comet, has not had a hard life born from two well off parents he skated by in his early life, and still does, off his parents money never really having to do anything for him self rendering him quite the dependent dullard. He impulsively decided to buy his way into the Octarches by leveraging his father’s “Science Dorks” to make him an Extra. Although this was a seemingly impossible task, somehow they were able to bless Captain Comet with the mighty Extra ability to hail comets from the heavens with the guide of his finger.
Nearby Comets in short supply Captain Comet ordered his “Science Dorks” to fix the problem of a short supply of Comets, which lead them to bring a plethora of Comets in to the Earths orbit, raising concern among the science community and citizens alike doubting his ability and fear his lack of consideration of the public will be their downfall.
