Appearance

Nationality: Brazilian/Italian
Physical Appearance: Johnny is a relatively good looking young man. He has an average height standing at around 5'10 feet tall exactly, and weighs 175 pounds. He has a very thin build--- little muscles or body fat on him. Johnny has a wide chest--- not in the muscular sense, his chest is simply wide. He's a boy of Brazilian and Italian descents as his skin is a light caramel, and he's really proud of his Brazilian heritage. His skin has plenty of scars from his travels in his life (plenty of them have their fair share of stories, most are related to girls). There is a three claw point scar under his right eye, it's a fairly ugly scar and he doesn't like to talk about how he got it. However, the only way he can hide it is to cover his face, so he bears it. One scar is easily the most notable, it is a thin, clean straight scar going straight down the middle of his chest to his stomach. It was from a rather unauthorized forced surgery on him due to his gift. This scar signifies a low-point in his life, which is exactly why he doesn't like to be seen without his shirt on. Due to the notability of his tattoos, this scar isn't too noticed if he does find himself shirtless. He has some small eyes, which heavily appear to be much like his mother, they are blue.  His face is very well-defined, and notable. He was a rather unnaturally large chin, which just so happens to be a double chin. His ears are small, and more or less concealed under his hat. He also has a small nose, which is also concealed slightly. Johnny's hair is dark black and is kept straight and the edge is curved slightly, this hair goes down to the start of his neck and is behind his head normally. Johnny has several tribal-style tattoos on his body, usually hidden under his clothing. On his left hand in particular, he has V A L O S each tattooed on the back of his fingers. On the base of his neck he has a small tattoo of a rose flower, which (depending on what he's wearing) is visible depending on what he's wearing. Finally, Johnny has one large tattoo on the left side of his chest, which is black , it contains numerous images of flowers integrated into its design. On top of these flowers is a blank rectangle, inside the rectangle has Johnny, K. Valos tattooed in old English font.

Attire: Most when they look at Johnathon's rather odd wardrobe and style; they will be instantly reminded of a 70's Era Pimp and feels as if he's unnatural. In his eyes; he dresses elegantly with a perfect mixture of fancy-clothes and good looks. He usually wears outfits that are brown colored, to the point where almost everything he wears is just different shades of brown. Easily the next thing that most will notice about his outfit is the wide-brimmed pimp hat on his head. He likes to slant his head slightly downwards so that the hat covers his eyes and most of his face. Giving him a mysterious stranger look. Sometimes he likes to wear a brown long coat over his outfit. He also wears a glove on the one hand without the tattoos (occasionally he'll wear gloves on both). When he doesn't wear gloves he likes to wear several rings with fake glass jewels which appear real and other gold based accessories. Johnny's outfit changes from day to day, but, he does keep a reoccurring theme.

Personality

Outward Personality: Outwardly, Johnny can be regarded as an asshole by some. While he initially will try to be his own version of "nice", if people tend to do stupid things that annoy him that easily tends to bring out the bad in him really easily. He won't hesitate to berate them or insult them for even the slightest of offenses. However, he tends to be polite with mostly everyone when he's calm. When he isn't, he tends to swear, a lot, and insult people ruthlessly. One major part of his personality is none other than his ego. He's extremely egotistical and arrogant due to his upbringing. However, he doesn't feel that he's better than people because he's born from a rich family. He just thinks that he's naturally better than people. Unless proven otherwise. It's rather hard to get him off his ego train. It may take several major blows to his ego for him to even come close to acting less arrogant. This is when he's at his prime. When he's depressed, he tends to be much more mellow and much more serious.

Johnny does treat people close to him with a higher degree of respect that he usually would an average nobody. When the time is appropriate he'll be joking, having a laugh, which the appropriate time is when he's not in danger. Which is another thing he'll always retain, he's very selfish (I.E: Don't expect him to take a bullet for someone he just met) and doesn't show too much empathy towards anyone but those that are close to him. The added benefit of a lack of empathy and selflessness means higher awareness/self-preservation skills. Which means he can smell trouble or a bad crowd when most will fail to detect catch up. In addition to this he has a nasty habit of not trusting certain kinds of people. Like he'll think the overwhelming nice dude has something under his belt that he doesn't want someone to see, or rough guy has quite a story under his belt.

In terms of morality, Johnny is more of a mercenary in a way. He does exactly what he wants, outside of any and all rules. Damn what anyone thinks of him. Johnny is more or less willing to do anything that'd advance him, even betray his own allies. Given the current situation he's in, friends won't help him in the long run.

Hobbies/Skills: Quite a few. Johnny is a master at anything related to poker and will beat you at Goldfish. Due to his rather shadier interactions with people he has a bit of knowledge of the criminal underworld. As stated in his personality section he's very good at judging characters and situations.

Abilities

Power Class: Cerebral/Energy/Super-System

Power: Johnny has an immensely powerful ability relating to Negative emotions (Anger, Fear, Sadness, Hate, Disgust, and Lust). You see, every living thing in the world has emotions. They give off a very special energy that only Johnny (and select individuals) can utilize. In Johnny's case, he's restricted to negative emotions. Naturally he absorbs some of this negative emotional energy just by being around people. The best way to get it is for him to touch people and absorb it out of them manually. The victim gets no negative effects from this. Once he absorbs an energy it will be stored in him for later use. This power goes down three paths. The first, and without a doubt his main ability is that he can project a marble-sized bullet out of pure emotional energy. Which he calls the 'Devil Kiss', he likes to make a finger gun and shoot the shot out of his middle and index finger when he does this--- for special effects of course. This bullet has an aura similar to fire that burns anything that it graces. This bullet doesn't have the force to put a hole in someone normally, but it can give them a nasty bruise and some minor burns. At the moment, he can't put too much more force behind it nor change the size. That may change as he develops his powers.

Next up is his far stronger ability independent of the Devil Kiss. He can transform himself into a partial being of pure Emotional Energy.  In this form Johnny anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of emotional energy. His outfit is incorporated into the transformation. This is a rainbow of bright lights, and lines of bright lights, constantly changing and shifting patterns. When Johnny's in this form he'll  fortify his cells, bones and muscles giving him much more resistance to damage. Another perk of this ability is that he'll be able to reduce any pain in his body. Even the strongest of hits will not cause him to flinch. Of course once he turns back into a human he'll feel this pain, all at once. Johnny's speed, and agility will be increased far beyond human levels. He'll be able to jump higher and run faster than the eye can comprehend. Eventually he'll be able to reach his ultimate form and have abilities far above his current state.

This last set of abilities is mostly for character interaction and etc. While Johnny can't alter emotions, he can subtly influence people's emotions at will. Such as escalating emotions or reducing them. This is useful for when the moment calls for it. All someone has to do is be close enough to him for him to work his magic. This however, isn't instant. It'll take hours on end to make a sad person commit suicide or the pissed off person tranquil. He can tell people's emotions just by looking at them, and has an higher understanding of the emotions of everyone. All they have to do is move out of his line of vision and he can't see their emotions anymore). The last ability is that on touch he can know every single emotion someone has felt down to the day of birth. This, however, does depend on how long he touches a person, and he'd need a few minutes to get that far into their emotional history. Finally, with a bit of focus he can sense emotions from a distance. This ability acts more of a people sense, as he cannot tell the exact emotion, just that there's an emotion capable being.

Finally, in his emotional energy state he can negate intangibility or fluid-like nature of beings to deal touch and damage to them. This allows him to touch people with fluid-like, gas-like, or any other malleable form that allows them to be unharmed by physical attacks.

Weaknesses: Johnny needs a constant source of negative emotions in order to keep using his powers at full strength. Without them his powers will be weaker since he'll only be using his own negative emotions. He needs to be in a neutral emotional state to use his powers efficiently. If he's feeling negative emotions he'll use up more emotional energy stored in him than he usually does with no stronger abilities. Positive emotions will only weaken both his Emotional Energy Form and his Devil Kiss. Johnny can only fire six shots of the Devil Kiss in a few minutes. If he tries to fire anymore then he'll burn his fingers and potentially injure himself if he continues firing. He needs much emotional energy to use his Energy Form. If he runs out then he'll return back to his normal form. Another weakness is that if he receives too much pain from attacks while in his energy form, he may pass out. Easily Johnny's biggest weakness is his perverse version of the Black Fall effect. To put it lightly; Johnny is a CENSORED magnet for craziness and angry people. He can indeed not only subconsciously attract meta-humans to him, but humans too. Just that the craziest of them will be more prone to coming to him, and he'll get in the worst of all situations. The reason why this exists is the negative emotions that he absorbs have made the Black Fall effect purely negative. Which means he'll always find himself in bad situations with bad people, or attract a monster. The only way to negate this is that he stops absorbing them entirely and become powerless.

Burst Potential: Gamma, Alpha, Omega, Zeta, and Delta

Other: As stated above, Johnny comes from an incredibly rich family (the Valos Family) that may have more connections to the Othergrounds than some may know.

Basic Information

Name: Sylvia Lana Bertoose
Nicknames: The Dubstep Bomb, DJ Lana, Syl, Sylvie (she hates that name though)
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Height:  5'3
Weight: 137



Appearance

Hair Color: Silver, naturally colored Black
Eye Color: Blue
Nationality: Italian/American
Physical Appearance: Sylvia has a false sense of bad assery when most look at her. To get started Sylvia stands at less than average height with longer limbs compared to others with her height. She's usually thin and has a slight pot belly. It's hard to see under her choice in clothing. She doesn't have any visible muscles due to her lack of athletics. Her skin is slightly pale, and has very few scars on her. The only scale that's notable on her is the one on the back of her hand, which looks like a straight scar. Sylvia has a very rounded and heart shaped head. The top of her head is wide, compared to her chin which is thin. Sylvia has some rather full cheeks, which are the most apparent in the few times she smiles nowadays. She has an elongated nose, which is long, yet doesn't stick out too much outwardly. Generally hidden under her large sunglasses is her unnaturally large and creepy eyes. These eyes usually are blank and emotionless. They're extremely creepy. They are however a nice shade of blue like the ocean. This is why Sylvia likes to keep her sunglasses on at all times. She has full lips that are usually stuck out. Usually she has a blank or bored facial expression that breathes apathy. Sylvia has short, dyed, wavy hair. It's cut very short, and brushed over one of her eye lids.

Attire: Sylvia's style is generally reminiscent of punk or bad ass. Most of the time Sylvia tries to look just look like a bad ass in her fashion. Day to day her outfit changes. Generally, she wears various hoodies, and shorts for freedom of movement. Almost all the time she's seen with eyeball obscuring sunglasses. One thing she's never seen without is her massive pink headphones, attached to an iPod wire constantly. It's essential for her power.

Personality


Outward Personality: Sylvia can be rather impulsive and abrasive. She can be easy to tolerate if most are capable of withstanding her attitude. She's the kind of person who likes to act like she doesn't care to seem cool. She'll always look like she has something better to do when she does not. Sylvia will always try to be  level headed and not show emotion. Most of the time she fails, and at a joke she'll sometimes let out a small chuckle before going back to her serious composure. She tends to be ruthlessly sarcastic and will make fun out of anyone at even the slightest mistake or slip up. She's fond of cursing heavily, to the point where she just sounds like a ten year old away out of hearing range of a parent. Sylvia does have redeemable qualities. She does deeply care about the well being of those around her, and can be pleasant if some get around her attitude.

Hobbies/Skills: Sylvia is a natural born DJ, even at a young age she's capable of using DJ'ing equipment. She's also skilled in a few instruments (guitars, violins, pianos, etc). For her age she also has a bit of knowledge of free running and can sprint pretty fast.

Abilities

Power Class: Other/Super System

Power: Much like her previous incarnations; Sylvia has a power related to sound. Sylvia is the Dubstep bomb. Sylvia can absorb sounds into her body and re-project them at higher volume and force. This power is known as Sound Re-projection. Usually this can be painful to the ears, and will only shake up the surrounding area a little bit. She mostly uses the songs in her iPod for use with this body. However, when she's presented with a song with a heavy bass, such as dubstep, the force of her ability will increase tenfold. Which is the actual Dubstep bomb. When she uses the bomb, it has the force to send people flying away, and cause extreme vibrations to the objects around her. Most objects will be obliterated downright and people will be injured. She can also focus this into focused and aim-able blasts. Which can seriously injure someone (and throw herself off her feet).

There's a small aura around Sylvia that negates any negative effects from the intense sound and vibrations. Which means she won't ever get hurt by a loud sound or intense vibrations, even from external sources. This extends to any objects that she's holding (which is why the iPod she uses for songs doesn't get obliterated). Sylvia's last ability is that she can "ride" sound waves. Allowing her super speed and flight. Possibly at the same time. She can move at blinding speeds and fly anywhere possible using sound waves. It is possible for her to reach the speed of sound. However, there's no way to avoid her killing herself when she does reach the speed.  

Sylvia's powers that she has yet to unlock are: Sound Manipulation, Sound Absorption, and Enhanced Hearing.

Weaknesses: For her Sound Re-projection/Dubstep Bomb to work, she needs a constant source of sound. The best source of sound she has available would be music. Otherwise she won't be able to tap into her raw power source. She won't entirely powerless, as she can use the sounds that the body naturally emits. Sylvia is still affected by anything that'd normally effect sound such as the absence of air or sometimes air manipulation. Using her powers excessively in a short period of time has negative effects on Sylvia. Like she'll get really tired as if she was just running track at full speed, while rendering her temporarily mute/deaf. The more and more she uses her abilities, or if she decides to be careless and pushes it: She'll lose the ability to use her powers for hours on end, and will lose the ability to speak/hear.

Burst Potential: Delta, Alpha and Zeta

Other: Sylvia is the younger half-sister of Johnny.
