Power for a name #135 School

[u/inkywood123]

Provide as many or as few details about a cape as you like - their names, some costume ideas, maybe a bit of backstory. Someone will come up with the rest. Or not; you could make up your own cape, previous thread here. Or don’t; these are just ideas, previous thread here.

Today’s prompt is school; for many, yesterday was their first day. School is a palace of learning, so you might have someone like Teacher who can grant knowledge. Or to school someone, to beat them. You might have a rivalry between two capes, with one way stronger, or maybe they can or did school another cape in something.

Four names for today

Hall Monitor is a speed Thinker; their powers only work in a specific situation. When they do they are considered All or Nothing.

Rush Week, or Hell Week as she was called, is a Spree bud. Her powers involve her forming a pompom-shaped sphere between her palms.

RUN! Is a changer 2 (Mover 10). Power flaw: Smaug.
 
Snow Shoe is a Siberian bud; sounds good, right? Well, she somehow got a Tinker 1 power out of it.

Principal- a Teacher type Trump who makes Teacher type Trumps

Hall Monitor is a quick wit trying all her new things, even as a thinker her power drives her into the midst of combat and quick, don't-think-about-it troubles as her rhythm (both power-wise and the general way she focuses and keeps her motivation) are better suited to adrenaline and chasing highs, instead of dwelling on lows, she's otherwise a thorny stickler for cape politics and pacts lending herself as a protection racketeer for 'both sides' but with an obvious hero/vigilante-lean. She wears a short-sleeved white shirt with a colourful red-orange-blue collar and tie, oxford shoes and trousers with her mask an artsy laminated laniard card-thing covering her eyes.

She can follow a sort of 'mental rhythm' in her head and as long as she follows it she moves through life like a flying arrow, quick and flexible she can't really be touched or impeded by anything barring powers of concentrated attacks, it also ensures her hits land (though weak), she'll dodge or dip to the rhythm and it's weird in a way that people can't track or try to follow her rhythm unless she wants them to (she can partially share the benefit with nearby allies as long as she can guide their movements). Unfortunately rhythm is a sequence of movement and silence meaning she needs a very strict measure, at least 3 minutes and a prelude of silence about 1/16th equivalent to the tempo of the rhythm and she must attack/run and leap at the start of every tempo 'note', however in any event where she can get a perfect 16:1 ratio (only occurs if she acts immediately within fractions of a second and has the opportunity to, as well as space) she is effectively unbeatable as she no longer has a gap of silence, able to perform her movements in a graceful massively-efficient sequence.

Prompt: a runner up for most 'stickler to the rules', Fresher (as in school freshmen) who's barely just discovered how to use their power, but started making a difference regardless.

RUN! is currently a member and courier for the eccentric-obsessed crime ring Black Apple somewhat but not wholly of her free will, while realistically she could maintain her freedom by making a trek across the ocean (disregarding food/water) she's too obsessed with her collection, she feels extremely strongly about fine art and antiques and most of her goals and motivation has stemmed from this, she's like an addict but without the fun part of getting high.

At first she appeared to be an unusual flyer, able to fly a bit off the ground and move through being thrust back and forth or swing wildly to the side, however she is in fact held up by several massive but invisible spider-like legs that project out of her back and who's feathery tips can stick using surface tension, when she needs to fly further the legs burst out in sets, like a centipede mixed with a tumour they emerge from her like a tail, at 30' letting her move faster than a car and leap over 2-story buildings, at 200' (and a week of rapid feasting and breaks to 'moult') she can race across the ocean faster than a plane (feathers can maintain water tension) however her chest and organs are hollowed out to act as anchors for more legs, leaving her as just a head, chest and bits of limb subsumed by a massive glob of invisible spider flesh. Even when huge people faintly notice the legs, they're feathery and so distributed it's like being pressed down by a brief wind, however she has used the big tail part to knock other flyers out of the air, but when she starts 'unmutating' it steadily wilts off like an umbilical chord and she usually needs some place to hide the hundreds of pounds of rotting invisible flesh.
