A street orphan turned vigilante fights to defend the outcasts of Aleburg. He's far from a hero of justice, but he keeps order in his territory.
It's hard to feel like a unique existence in a city full of heroes, lunatics, mob bosses and ninjas. But to the residents of the impoverished districts, that's exactly who Kessus Anthony is. An orphan born and raised on the streets of Aleburg, Kessus quickly made a name for himself as the barrier-powered vigilante 'Blockade'.
He doesn't patrol a large area, but the criminal element know to keep their activities on the down-low in his territory. Suicide, trespassing, recreational drug use, drug possession, gambling, public drunkenness, possession of contraband; to these things he hardly bats an eye.
But the low-life's know that if you leave a victim behind, alive or not, you might see a pair of glowing eyes around the next corner. Blockade returns insult with insult, and injury with injury.

Appearance
Physical Description
Despite the bulky suit that he wears, the young man remains a slim figure; tall and lean.
Facial Features
Though the majority of his face is hidden while suited up, a scar can be seen along his forhead by a keen-eyed observer.
Identifying Characteristics
Whenever any of his abilities are active, his eyes glow with an electric blue light. Visible even through the thick visor that he wears over his eyes, many a criminal has seen these peircing eyes staring at them from the shadows.
Physical quirks
Although it's hard to tell with all the defensive options available to him, the martially gifted might notice that he is slower to react to attacks from his left side.
Apparel & Accessories
Blockade can usually be seen in his signature superhero outfit.
The most iconic part of his outfit is the mask that he wears, and the thick visor that fits over his eyes just above it. In addition to hiding his identity, the mask appears to change his voice as well.
A single-piece bodysuit is visible under his jacket, and seems to have a single piece of molded bronze positioned over his chest.
The long leather duster that he wears occasionally catches the light oddly, revealing metal links woven into the interior.
Special abilities
Although there are many gifted throughout Northport with an array of terrifying abilities, Blockade fits into a unique niche.
Many heroes have the ability to bolster their defenses with energy, but Blockade is often seen projecting the shields that he generates beyond his own body.
He is known for the versitile barriers that he seemingly conjures at will, but he is legendary for his resilience. Missiles, lasers, tesla cannons, shotguns to the face; he's taken blows from powerful malcontents such as Sunstorm and quickly brushed them off.
He also often takes enemies by surprise with his mobility, conjuring slick barriers to slide around at speed, or floating platforms in the sky to reach heights usually restricted from heroes without the power of flight.
Mentality
Personal history
Born 'Anthony Marke', the vigilante Blockade had an average childhood for a resident of Aleburg. No parents, no home, no resources. Perfectly normal like every other kid on the streets.
By the time he could walk, and keep his mouth shut, he was picking pockets or running messages and product for the local Mob.
