Alley Derrière la Banque
Avant que la peinture verte de Chroma n'ait empêché Blackout une personne aléatoire est apparue et a saisi le criminel, se téléportant à temps pour éviter le liquide incroyablement lourd. Cela a immédiatement irrité Chroma. Il y en a un cinquième!? Avec un grognement, il forma une autre lueur de peinture verte, se préparant à la faire flotter dans la direction qu'il croyait que Serephina était là avant que soudain l'homme téléportant réapparaisse de nouveau. Il essayait clairement de sauver la fille invisible aussi. Normalement en marchant sur la peinture bleue se traduirait par un tumble, mais il semblait que le téléporteur connaissait la physique ou ait eu la chance d'avoir l'idée que rester complètement immobile et équilibré tout en téléportant l'empêcherait d'embrasser le sol. Quoi qu'il en soit, Chroma n'a pas attendu qu'il parte avec l'autre cape. "Tu ne veux pas passer du temps dans la cage d'oiseau, n'est-ce pas?" Chroma lui cria dessus avant de le jeter sur lui. Bien sûr, Greed a pu se téléporter hors du chemin, mais Chroma a continué à le barrager avec de la peinture verte jusqu'à ce qu'il ait finalement cessé d'apparaître. L'allée était principalement bleue mais avait maintenant de nombreuses taches vertes diverses partout.
Après un moment de rage silencieuse, Chroma a finalement annulé toute la peinture dans l'allée. Mais très spécifiquement, il n'a pas nié la peinture bleue qui avait été obtenue sur Blackout, Serephina, et Greed. Alors que les factures blanches retourneraient à la couleur une fois qu'elles se seraient vraiment enfuies, la peinture dans laquelle elles avaient marché ou tombé ne le serait pas. Greed ne l'aurait que sur le fond de ses pieds, où il pourrait enlever ses chaussures s'il ne voulait pas tomber à chaque fois qu'il essayait de bouger. Blackout a eu le pire suivant, comme il était le long de ses pieds, pantalon, et un côté de son torse. Il aurait dû se déshabiller et même se laver les mains s'il voulait arrêter de glisser. Séréphine était dans un état semblable à Blackout, mais en raison d'être tombée dans la peinture dans un tumble plutôt qu'une chute droite, elle avait beaucoup plus de la couvrir. Elle devrait aussi trouver de nouveaux vêtements et probablement même se laver le visage et les cheveux si elle voulait vraiment se débarrasser de lui. Alors que Chroma ne pouvait pas les empêcher de s'échapper, il allait au moins leur causer d'autres inconvénients. Peu importe jusqu'où ils ont été téléportés, ils auraient à gérer la peinture bleue eux-mêmes.
"Mauve cape sur scène. Il a téléporté les autres caps à un autre endroit. Un étranger aussi confirmé, capable d'être invisible. Cinq capes confirmées, ne seraient pas surpris s'il y avait plus. Ils se sont enfuis avec l'argent," Chroma a commencé à relayer dans son communicateur d'oreilles. Du coin de l'œil, il vit la figure brillante de Scourge entrer dans l'allée car il était maintenant dépourvu de peinture pour l'entraver. "L'argent a été mis dans une camionnette blanche. Il a quitté l'allée arrière il y a environ une minute, a établi un périmètre autour du quartier pour le trouver. Où que le Mover soit allé n'aura pas d'importance parce qu'ils devront se regrouper à ce van pour obtenir tout l'argent." Avec ses informations relayées Chroma s'est finalement tourné vers Scorge. La douleur lui grondait encore dans la tête, mais d'une certaine façon, il s'y habituait. La sévérité n'avait pas encore baissé, mais Chroma était une personne têtu et n'était pas sur le point de laisser ce Maître le battre dans son esprit. Mais en attendant, il n'était pas seulement dans la douleur, mais dans une mauvaise humeur. "Allons-y! On ne va pas les laisser marcher sur moi comme ça! L'équipage de Blackout est à notre portée! Et personne ne fait croire à Chroma!" Chroma boulonnait l'allée dans la direction où le van était initialement allé, en grande partie sans souci si Scurge allait suivre ou non. Il savait juste qu'il pouvait tous les battre dans un combat, ils devaient juste arrêter de courir et ce serait sa victoire assurée.

Biography:
A young American teenager born and raised in San Francisco. His father was an artist of varying fields and his mother was an impressionable accountant. Alex was raised in a very liberal household that valued his strengths and ignored his weaknesses, leading to an inflated ego from a young age. They were not a wealthy family, as the only source of income came from his mother's steady job. His father was doing something different every year. One year he is an actor, another he is a painter, but no matter what he's doing it doesn't make money. Alex initially resented that part about his father, but in time he would be indoctrinated by his charismatic old man. Art wasn't meant to make profit, it was meant to entertain. Art was a way of life, not a job.
Alex would receive both Trigger Events simultaneously when he was fifteen and attended his father's very first art show. A culmination of his old man's entire life's works put on display for the public to see. Only it was not well received. It would be an understatement to say the high-class establishment that funded and hosted his event were displeased with his paintings' "child-like" qualities. A crowd gathered to mock and harass the Rowland family. The humiliation didn't stop with the art show, as drunk patrons awaited the Rowland family as they left that night and assaulted them in the street. They would've only attacked Alex's father, but young Alex was quick to succumb to his rage and jumped in. This resulted in the beating of a lifetime, putting him in the hospital alongside his father.
He didn't realize his powers for almost a month after the event, when he was mostly healed from the fight and out of the hospital. An angry Alex was quick to abuse this, destroying the building that catered to the dramatic art show that stained his father's reputation and almost killed the two of them. This put him on the PRT's radar and they approached his family the next day. They were willing to overlook his crime in order to form him into a true hero that could wield his powers wisely and safely. Alex saw this as an opportunity to become famous like his father could not. He accepted the proposal without haste, though his father demanded he wouldn't be taken to the Los Angeles department out of prejudice. The PRT granted their wish and instead sent Alex all the way to Chicago, Illinois. He has since become a Ward for the PRT, donning the alias of Chroma for his superhero acts.
Personality:
Some may be believe Alex to be a genuine and upstanding citizen with impeccable morals and a capacity for empathy. They would be gravely mistaken. Alex Rowland isn't just sly and conniving but incredibly full of himself. An egomaniac that uses justice as a means to parade his greatness. Life is like one big show to him and he's none other than the leading role. He finds himself to be a gift from God and behaves in an accordingly eccentric and extravagant way that often brings up questions of his sexuality. Despite caring for himself above all else he does have some morals, finding it easy to injure but difficult to kill. One can also say that he has decent self-control, but only when he puts on his mask. His arrogance puts off many people, but somehow it is overlooked whenever he dons his superhero costume.
Residence:
PRT Building
Parental status:
Both are alive and well living in San Francisco, California.
Costume:
A white full-body suit with white boots and gloves alongside a black masquerade mask to cover a large part of Alex's face, all the while his hair is slicked back. The costume has no inherent protection value.
Power:
Chromatic Overload - Alex has the power to change the colors of everything around him in the world. Likewise he can "create" his own "colors" that appear to be floating blobs of paint that can have diverse effects when they come into contact with a target. He can then fling these masses of color at his opponents as a means of combat. RED would burn, BLUE would drench, YELLOW would electrify, etc. The effects cannot be interchanged between colors as they are unique to their individual coloring. While most of his powers revolve around "adding" color, Alex also has the ability to "subtract" color which will turn the affected object or person invisible. The effects of Chromatic Overload's color-changing aspect can be negated by Trump powers or by exiting Alex's range, but the color that is created can only be removed by Alex or Trump powers, making their effects possibly permanent.
Power range:
100m general range. Colors can only be created and manipulated less than 1m away from his hands, afterwards it is entirely based on momentum and can no longer be controlled, only erased. Thrown colors cannot exit the 100m range unless they land on something, at which point they can. Colors can be changed at the full 100m range, same with removing colors. Changed colors that go beyond the 100m range will naturally revert to their natural colors without any intervention. Any object that has had its colors removed will also return to normal once it passes the 100m range.
Power safeguards:
Alex has complete immunity to his own powers. He cannot change his own colors, he cannot apply colors to himself, and he cannot take colors away from himself. This only applies to his body directly, as he can still use Chromatic Overload on his clothes and equipment just fine.
