Ryan Mello

Ryan Mello

Origin Story

In the 2006 “100-Year Storm,” floodwaters tore through the Puyallup watershed, endangering thousands. AmeriCorps volunteer Ryan rushed to strengthen levees until a falling cedar threw him into toxic runoff. A lightning strike from a substation explosion hit at that moment, fusing his service pin, gavel, and cedar roots into a living energy core tied to his heartbeat.

Primary Ability - Mello‑Tone

Ryan releases sound waves that reset stress surges across a city block. Fear eases, talks align, and for three minutes people find common ground. The effect cannot create agreement, only reveal it. Each wave pushes sorrow and strain into his own body, leaving him to carry the weight after use.

Secondary Ability - Gateways

By drawing live diagrams in the air, he opens green portals moving aid, medics, or evacuees anywhere in Pierce County. Portals stay open only if rules and funds are clear; unclear laws spark unstable storms that can trap resources. He fights red tape with tablet and stylus before the portal closes.

Ultimate Ability - Exposure

A solar burst outlines foes with glowing runes of their records, emissions, or hidden notes. Weak spots glow red, lies green, bias purple. The marks last 24 hours, visible to all. During this time, their deceptions collapse under public view.

Head Quarters

A re-fitted County-City Building floor hums with moss-covered data walls that turn sunlight into power. Storm-water turbines store backup charge for Gateways. Public tours pass through clear budgeting displays, because secrecy decays faster than wetlands cut off from flow.

Arch Enemy #1 - Ledger Lich

A skeletal auditor in shredded spreadsheets, the Ledger Lich feeds on city databases, draining coins into a vault of screaming decimals. Each misaligned cell spawns binding tape that traps engineers in endless loops, while ghostly notes whisper “Pending Review” until hope fades.

Arch Enemy #2 - Runoff Revenant

The Runoff Revenant crawls through Tacoma’s storm drains as a towering form made of oil streaks and plastic shards. Every rainfall swells his body into toxic waves that flood salmon runs, destroy basements, and eat away at bridges. His weapons are crude but deadly: straw javelins and bottle-cap shuriken that leave glowing slicks across streets. These stains trap rescue workers and turn sidewalks into hazardous traps.

Arch Enemy #3 - Echo‑Void

Born from abandoned meeting minutes and hollow applause. It takes the shape of a swirling nebula of muffled voices. When it descends on city halls, bold ideas are swallowed into silence. Promises turn to faint echoes, and leaders feel their words vanish mid-sentence. Audiences leave uncertain whether any discussion even occurred, as hope fades into static.
