[Forever Zero]

I call, once again, National Talk Like a Pirate Day. I will have a char later.

[IHateMakingNames]

I call Halloween.

[Dr DR]

Name: Boxing Day Man

Holiday: Boxing Day

Appearance: Tall, muscled, wearing a spiffy aristocrat old stylee coat, but open to allow pointless bare-chestedness. Also wears britches. Quite possibly has a pony tail. Doesn't (surprisingly) wear boxing gloves. He's more of a bare-fisted fighter.

Equipment: Too manly for equipment.

Powers: Stylish Ninja Kickboxing madskills, Rather tough and fast fellow, Marxist Dialectics.

Bio: Born 1890 and with ideas ahead of his time, inspired by the opening up of poor boxes on Boxing Day, Boxing Day Man wanted to get the working peeps a fairer deal. One day a year didn't cut it for this chap. Unfortunatley this got him beaten up by hordes of angry aristocrats. Fell into a deep coma as a result but was revived by a cup of radioactive tea, which in the interim gave him super powers. Likes to say "JUSTICE" and spout marxist rhetoric a lot (still terribly British though).

[MC43]

Name: Phil the Groundhog

Holiday: Groundhog's day

Appearance: An everyday groundhog.

Equipment: big nasty pointy claws

Power: The abality to cast shadows of itself and make a winter storm for a short time.

Bio: Once an everyday groundhog living in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, he has become a national thing every year. People would gather to see him to see if the shadow would appear or not. However, people would soon forget about him and his important role in life, so he has joined up to make sure people know that he really does have a life.

[StormRider]

I call Santa.

Name: Too many to count. Santa, St. Nick, SC are a few of the many.
Holiday: Christmas
Appearance: An abnormally tall (close to 7 feet in height) fat (he prefers 'well-stuffed', and more than a few elves have been busted back to doll duty for calling him 'chunky') guy in a red suit and combat boots. His rosy cheeks, bushy white beard, and rougish smile make him appear a bit on the dim side, but in reality he possesses a brilliant, calculating mind that caused the HoH to come into being.
Equipment: His sack filled with a nigh-unlimited supply of toys and gadgets, many of which have purposes and abilities unknown even to the Big Guy himself, which has been known to cause unfortunate mishaps. A flock of flying reindeer carrying a seriously pimpin' fire-red sleigh tricked out with 007-like gadgets, and a crack squad of elves, best trained in the biz.
Powers: The ability to shrink himself and squeeze into small spaces (chimneys or otherwise). The ability to instantly detect naughty or niceness, which makes SC virtually immune to lies, bluffs, or other attempts to fool/shroud the Big Guy's mind.
Bio: Despite being 'the jolly one' he has no tolerance for evildoers. He has taken a personal oath to spread joy to the kids of the world, and any Grinch who gets in his way should be prepared for a big surprise. Due to the increasing ratio of naughty to nice in the world lately, Santa formed the HoH to lighten the stress of his workload and get mankind back to loving each other, or else.

If you don't want anyone to be Santa, I'll pick someone else.

[batgirl]

I'll have a bio up later, but I call Hannuka

[Squishy Cheeks]

Powers: The ability to shrink himself and squeeze into small spaces (chimneys or otherwise). Other than that, none to speak of.

You forgot the naughty and nice detection thing.

[StormRider]

Doesn't that go without saying?

[Squishy Cheeks]

Well I'd say it's a special power.

[StormRider]

OK. Profile edited.

[CelesJessa]

I call the 4th of July (yaay. fireworks) but I need to think of what my character's hero name would be...

[IHateMakingNames]

Name: ???
Holiday: Halloween
Appearance. He is small human looking thing compltely black and covered in shadows in his true form, but can look like anything he wants.
Equipment: None, but he can morph some.
Power: Shape shift to any form, can make items needed for form, and can make candy appear from no where. Also has the ability to know people's greatest fears.
Bio: One day some insane man who really liked Halloween used all sorts of scientific stuff on him to transform him into what he is today. Now he goes around scaring people (Often at camps when they are telling ghost stories, then appearing as the bad thing), then gives the people candy.

[lazy man]

I call Fat Teusday. I'll get stuff up later.

[Squishy Cheeks]

I'd say a girl should be Mardi Gras not Lazy man but if no ladies want super flashing powers and bead whips I can understand.

[Hunter_Shu]

Name: Professor Pi
Appearance: Stereotypical professor setup: White lab coat, greying Einstein hair... the works.
Bio: He was once nothing but a mild-mannered Math professor at Prestigious University, until one day, he suffered a tragic accident at the hands of a hacker.... He had been working on solving Pi, and had actually finished his calculations, but the next day, when he turned on his computer and was about to send the results to his colleagues, he realized that the computer wouldn't work, because Windows had malfunctioned. He vowed to gain revenge on Microsoft Corporation, and began studying the true mysteries of Pi. After years of meditation, he learned that those whom had mastered Pi gained mastery over circles and could even create them...
Power: Control over circles, to the point that he can create them from nothing.
Equipment: He has very little, although he tends to keep a small supply of moonpies on him as emergency supplies. Also keeps a calculator on him.
Ultimate Goal: The destruction of Microsoft Corporation, the world's greatest EVIL.

[batgirl]

Um, you're supposed to be a holiday.

[CelesJessa]

I'm not done yet, but here's my bio for now.

Name: Liberty Belle
Holiday: 4th of July
Appearance: Think Wonder Woman, but with slightly altered colors on her costume, and her hair is red. And she had leggings and boots.
Equipment: Fireworks, that seem to come from nowhere and can be set off just by her will. (the more powerful ones have to be manually set off) And really big sparklers that she can attack people with. (other weapons include altered versions of things you might see at the 4th of july celebrations)
Power: Pyro stuff... explosions.
Bio: (I'll finish this in a bit)

[Hunter_Shu]

Um, you're supposed to be a holiday.
3/14. Pi day. Hence the Professor Pi, and the circles and such.


Sorry if that sounds arrogant. I was just putting it here from the Original thread "Just a Thought" where I already called Pi day.

[IHateMakingNames]

Added the power to know people's greatest fears.

[MC43]

Pie day is fun! Anyone go out caroling Pi day songs? My class did.

[Lycanthrope]

Name: The April Fool
Appearance: He dresses in motley, but the coolest damn motley there is!
Bio: A born trixter, the April Fool has become a crusader against the humorless forces of evil, but is not below tricking anyone. He doesn't know anything about his heritage, other than that he was born on the street. He was taken in by a stage magician who taught him his craft. His mastery of slight of hand became super-human when he was accidentally inducted into a secret government to create the ultimate spy (enhanced speed, dexterity, grace, and agility, combined with the psychic ability to cause people not to notice him unless they are specifically looking for him). While the experiment was successful, the project failed when the April Fool proved uncontrolable. The entire project went down in flames, and was mothballed. The April Fool, himself, remembers absolutely none of this, a failsafe device designed to prevent him from revealing secrets to the enemy erased his memory of the events before he could spread it, however they never managed to catch him.
Ultimate Goals: That every man, woman, and child be the subject of his ridicule before he dies.... Hey, he can dream, can't he?

[Hunter_Shu]

Out of curiousity, was this meant to be serious in any way, shape or form? Just curious. Judging by the characters, I'd say no, but I feel the need to check.

[Forever Zero]

Bio: After TLAPD really took off, it needed a spokesman. The two creators, who had made the holiday on accident, decided that instead of hiring a spokesman, they would make a spokesman! They consulted a secret government labrotory, and after a night of extensive research, experiments and testing involving nanotechnology, and excessive drinking, Jack Ironbeard was born! However, one night when the founders and Jack got drunk (Due to a flaw in his creation, his constant goal is first to get drunk, then fulfill his other objectives), Jack wandered off and lost his memory. Now he wanders around as a hero, fighting for truth, justice, and the right to say, "Arr, avast yee scalawags! I'll keelhaul the lot of you for sayin' that!"
