Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 5'7
Weight: 148


Appearance

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Nationality: Brazilian
Physical Appearance: Jake has a slightly feminine, weak feeling about him. He's a rather attractive young child. He looks much like his brother and shares similar features. He has much darker skin than any of his other siblings to the point where he appears African-American. It's safe to say that his nationality is ambiguous at first. His skin is much darker than his sister, and his half brother. He has a skinny build, he does look very unimposing and scrawny. Like he's the kind of person you'd see get beat up a lot. He has a wide chest, not in the muscular-sense, his chest his wide for his age. Jake's face is squared, and very well defined. He has a double chin, and has a small scar across the left side of it, spilling over to the other side. His head is slightly small compared to the rest of his body. His ears are slightly pointed and average sized for his family. He has a few scars on his being. Some with stories, others are just childhood blunders. One notable scar he has is an interesting scar he has under his left eye. This scar looks like it was stitched up years ago, it's bright red and very ugly. Unfortunately, it's very noticeable. He also has the aforementioned scar across his chin, which looks like he was slashed there. Apart of a dare he had made years ago and horribly failed, he has a few tattoos. Nothing special. On his left shoulder is a tattoo of a cross with massive wings pointing downwards. Under this tattoo, MADE IN HEAVEN is written. Jake has ear-length, deep black hair which is kept neatly slicked back.

Attire: Jake has an extremely fancy style. He wears the best clothes from the best people. Usually he'll wear a suit with a coat on or sometimes even a cape thrown over his shoulders. He'll also wear an assorted amount of hats most of the time he has a fedora. Always resting in the pocket of any shirt he's wearing is a pocket watch made out of solid gold. Sometimes he's just seen staring blankly at it. Ignoring everything that is going on around him. Jake needs glasses to see. He wears round wire-frame glasses, which give him the nerdy look.

Personality

Outward Personality: He is for all intents and purposes; the complete opposite of Johnny. Jake is a very friendly person. He treats everyone around him equally and with respect. Unless they had warranted a different treatment. At times Jake can be unnecessarily polite, calling adults Sir or Ma'am even if they ask not to. That's how he was raised up to be. Jake always likes to make friends, since it's common logic that making friends over enemies always helps in the long run. He always tries to be the empathetic one, but at times he finds himself overstepping his boundaries. Sometimes, with the best of intentions, he'll cross lines and offend people. Naturally, he'll feel a bit of guilt and remorse; often apologizing. Jake is very diplomatic, always choosing talking over violence. Peaceful resolutions over war. However, he's been around Johnny long enough to know when a fight's going to break out. In between himself and Gabe, he's the more reasoned and diplomatic half of the pair. This may even extend to the rest of the Valos. With him being the moral person out of all of them. He tries to act like the voice of reason, but more often than enough, gets ignored in favor of their aggressive and immoral tactics. Jake doesn't enjoy being told what to do things he doesn't want to by his brother Johnny. But, being lower in the pecking order than him means that he has to suck it up. He longs for being his own leader, or being in a kinder, more reasoned group.

Apart of his personality is that he tends to be wimpy when alone. He'll easily be pushed around by people who are stronger than him. When he has allies on his side however, this changes fast and he'll stand up for himself and be assertive about what he wants/believes in. If he's confident in himself when alone then he'll easily accomplish this. Sometimes Jake will unintentionally act smug, and stuck up. Which may offend people or make them mad. He does have an ego inside of him, he's just subtle and keeps it inside of him the best he can. Sometimes it just slips. Jake has an attraction to Asian culture, meaning he prefers Asian girls over girls of other races. If there's a hot Asian girl around; he'd be the first to hit on her.

Hobbies/Skills: Jake has two major skills. First, he's a very good cook due to the top of the line cooking classes he's received. He can cook some delicious meals. Next, he has a fair share of knowledge on computers. He knows how to code really and could probably hack a website if the skill was useful in this environment. Jake can talk down people very well. Jake also knows how to play the piano.

Abilities

Power Class: Cerebral

Power: Jake is the Master Illusionist. He can create illusions that can easily trick people and (sometimes) they'll perceive it as real. Jake has a high degree of control over his powers, and can craft  virtually any illusion that he can think of. With him putting a high amount of effort into crafting his illusions to achieve this. The illusions that Jake creates aren't simple tricks of the mind or bending light, they can be seen, felt, smelt, tasted and heard. They can be either solid or intangible, with varying levels of transparency.  They are projections of Jake's mind onto the real world. Jake can essentially create anything with this and it'd appear real. He can also control the illusions, such as making a pig fly around the room or making a guy walk up and open the illusion door. What they cannot do is transfer kinetic force--- An illusion of a boxer punching a real person would have no effect whatsoever. Illusions made 'solid' usually have the same amount of durability as whatever they are replicating. An illusory wooden table would break under the same circumstances that would break an actual wooden table. In regards to detection, illusions cannot be distinguished from reality through advanced technological means of analysis. With this ability Jake can easily trick people, by creating people, false backgrounds and other useful techniques. He can also make objects/people invisible at will. This power can allow him to not only trick people, but defend people with his illusions.

A technique that Jake has developed with his illusions is the ability to make copies of himself using illusions. Exact copies that will do whatever he commands them to do. An interesting part of this power is that he can see, hear, feel, taste and smell through these illusions--- Except he can't receive pain. He can use this for advanced scouting. These copies can also cast illusions, except it'll strain him much more. These clones will be destroyed if they're hit.

Tactile Telepathy. Tactile Telepathy is a form of telepathy that allows Jake to read the minds of people he's touching them. So, as long as he's touching someone skin to skin, he can freely read their thoughts, and read their emotions. The longer he's touching them, the longer he can read their thoughts. Jake can also send his own thoughts to other people, which will allow him to have mental conversations.

Weaknesses: Jake's power has one main opposition to his ability. Energy can disrupt and destroy his illusions. If any form of energy contacts his illusions then it'll fade away. Any Energy-type Meta-humans can easily disrupt and destroy his illusions with their powers. Notably, energy must be of relatively high intensity in order to disrupt the illusions. Projection of light, low levels of radiation, small amounts of heat, etc won't cause the illusions to be destroyed. While Jake has a high level of control over his illusions, it takes  effort with complex scenery and detail, and he also has difficulty making illusions register across all five senses (more than one takes a considerably degree of concentration). Jake's illusions, while strong, are brittle. Meaning if they get heavily damaged in one area, the entire thing falls apart. While he can just put it back, over exerting himself can be hazardous. Creating too many illusions at a time can cause damage to his mind and maybe cause him to pass out. Finally, illusions cannot be made to move unless Jake devotes attention to them - they are effectively stationary and static otherwise. No matter what Jake creates; his illusions can never be used to cause people harm. Nor can they (Directly) interact with the real world, outside of people. Which puts him in a strictly defensive/support role.

Burst Potential: Theta, Alpha and Omega

Other: Jake is the half brother to Johnny, and the twin brother to Gabriela. He isn't in any way related to Sylvia.

(Deceased) Gabriela:

Basic Information

Name: Carmen Brenna Santo
Alias/Nicknames: Often referred to as Lilly
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Height: 5'3
Weight: 153



Appearance

Hair Color: Naturally brown, but dyed bright purple.
Eye Color: Gray
Nationality: Peurto-Rican
Physical Appearance: Lily has a Voodoo/Gothic feel to her. She's lean, yet athletic with little noticeable fat or muscles on her being. She has wide shoulders (inherited from her father) and could very well have a muscular build that looks great on her, if she works out a bit more. Though, she's very unimposing and not very strong. Her skin is fairly clean or clear except for a tattoo (of the sun) that she has on her shoulder that's hidden by her jacket. She has a few scars, two of them stands out the most. A few years back she had to get surgery on her stomach when she was in an "accident". It's a thin yet very noticeable scar that starts at her chest and goes down past her belly. Fortunately her choice of clothing easily conceals this scar. The next scar is on the left side of her head that can be seen from the front of her face. It's an electrical scar that she got during an experiment with her powers. She also has two scars on her left eyebrow and one hard to spot horizontal scar on her chin. Lily has a few piercings on her body, all of which are facial and silver colored. There's a ball-shaped piercing on her right eyebrow, another is on the right side of her cheek and is the same kind of ball-shape. Finally there's yet another ball shaped one pierced to the bridge of her nose. She also has ring-shaped piercings on both her ears. Her hair is straight, and kept in a very long pony-tail, some hair is brushed over the scar on her left eyebrow.

Attire: Lily has a modern feel to her attire. She usually wears a demim jacket unzipped (or zipped) to show the various shirts she wears underneath. Then she'll wear any pants whether it be jeans or sweat pants. She'll always be seen wearing a large scarf on her head of any color as long as it matches her outfit.

Personality

Innate Personality: Lily cares deeply about the well being of others, even strangers. While outwardly she may act like a controlling and bitchy person. That's all because she feels that her way is best and will ensure the safety of others. She doesn't like having the title of "team-mom" but she feels that she'll obligated to do so. She tends to keep certain emotions (like being annoyed or anger) bottled up easily and kept to herself. Only sharing these emotions to herself, and people she deems to be her friends.

Outward Personality: Outwardly, she's very controlling and calm. When situations pop up she always attempts to assume the role of leader and get the team out of danger. No matter what's going on she'll always have in her head that she's the leader. She also tends to fuss at people when they oppose her and attempt to do their own thing. She's also pretty judgmental and if you do one major thing against her she'll want to bite your CENSORED off until she feels she got her satisfaction. She is also very opinionated about what she thinks of others, most of the time she'll keep these opinions to herself. When in causal conversation, however she's nice albeit a bit stressed at times. Sometimes she tends to be condescending or arrogant. Due to her powers she's not really into the whole romance thing. She'll easily push off any advances without a second thought. Then tell whoever to go CENSORED themselves. Of course if someone eases in and starts to make her like someone then she may be a bit more open.

Hobbies/Skills: Lily's father is a Doctor and she's soon great interest in the medical field. He has taught her quite a few things about the medicine that'd be practical for a girl her age. Such as CPR and how to use a first-aid kit to treat most non-serious wounds. Of course there's a realistic limit to how much she can do. She's also interested in gardening, she'll know how to plant plants, and that bumbatish. She also worked as a cashier for a bit.

Abilities

Lily's original power:

Power Class: Power and Energy

Power: Power Manipulation. After going through her Omicron Burst, Lily's powers had mutated into something far more powerful. She's gained abilities that she could not possibly have even gotten before her Omicron Burst. Lily's power now revolves around the Meta-human Energy that dwells in every single Meta-human. She still has her own unique Energy Surging through every single last cell on her being. This energy fuels all of her powers. Lily's constantly generating this energy on her own. However, she'll do it very slowly. She seemingly will generate much more of this energy when she's around other Meta-humans. It may be leeching them of their own Meta-human Energies, or some reaction. Which means the more Meta-humans are around, the more energy she creates. Lily does not know of this yet.

While she doesn't exactly know it yet; she can do great things to other Meta-humans. She is a Power Manipulator now. Her true potential simply out of her range, and she has to learn how to use her powers again. Lily's first, and passive ability is that she can detect Meta-humans from great distances. She'll know the exact location of every meta-human in a fifty-foot radius. Which means it's difficult for Meta-humans to sneak up on her, and she can also find them much easier. This ability also allows her to gauge a single Meta-human's power just by having them in her presence. While they're in her presence, she'll also know how powerful the Meta-human is. It's mostly three power-levels; Strong, Weak and In-between. She can also "see" the energy inside of Meta-humans. To her; every Meta-human's body is illuminated with a green-energy. It illuminates their nervous-system. It's brightness depends on the strength of the Meta-human, if/when the Meta-human is strong then it'll be bright, and the opposite when/if a Meta-human is weak. When Lily is near them, this energy will glow slightly brighter and seemingly follow her. When a Meta-human uses their power then the energy will get much brighter around the limb where the power is centered. This part of her ability is useless, but it helps with another aspect of her power.

Lily still retains her Power Enlightenment ability. When she touches another Meta-human she can learn all about their power. It also has been modified so that she can know their very peak, basically how powerful they can be. She'll know powers that they haven't unlocked yet as well. At will this ability can be mirrored so that she can enlighten people of their current power and everything they can do with it. Lily can also let people know her power, and she can inform herself of her own power and potential. While she can let people know of their potential; she cannot unlock this potential--- That's up to them and herself. Unfortunately, she no longer has her Power Perception ability.

Time for the meat of Lily's ability; Power Charging/Dampening. By touching another Meta-human she can alter the energies that surge through them. When she starts altering their power, the energy in them starts to move, seemingly following her hands and will either glow brighter or dimmer depending on what she does to it. By doing this, she can either amplify or dampen the energies they have. Making temporarily making them much stronger or weaker. Depending on how long she touches the person she can either make them far more powerful (potentially, on par with Bursts) or so weak that they can't effectively even use their powers. Regardless of how much she charges a Meta-human, they will be in complete control of their ability. No matter how much she charges/dampens a Meta-human, the effects will only last a few minutes. Lily can potentially save someone from the dreaded "Ashing" by dampening powers.

That is only the very basic form of her Power Manipulation. Lily can manipulate powers to an extent. While she can use this, it's very hard to control and the girl has no knowledge of how to use it. Making it rather impractical until she learns much more about her powers. Lily can alter abilities, albeit temporarily. She'll be able to mutate powers similar to Omicron bursts. Manipulating existing powers to either an minor/major alteration or changing a Meta-human's powers to something completely different. Since it'll take decades of training for her to come close to controlling this ability; the changes to powers will be more or less random. Out of her control. Nor does she even know how to access this ability, yet. Any usage of this will more or less be accidental. Lily can potentially swap the powers of Meta-humans around her temporarily, as long as all parties are touching her. The same still applies, she doesn't know this ability and will be used accidentally.

Finally, Lily still can "infect" normal humans with powers. Through the similar means she had before. Lily still has her own, unique variation of the Meta-human energy. Instead of kissing them to grant powers, all she has to do is transfer some of her energy into her target. Her target won't instantly get their powers. It will take several months (up to six months total) before their powers manifests. The only catch is that people don't get to choose what power they get, nor can Lily. They get a random power that literally can be anything.


Weaknesses: Lily's aversion to using her powers still remains. Merely because she now simply doesn't want anyone to know of her power. She doesn't want anyone to know about her great power, in fear of that people will try to abuse her. She'll only use her powers on friends (who can keep a secret) or during emergencies. No matter what she does; the effects of her super-power manipulation will always be temporary. Unless it's her ability to give people powers. The only way that Lily can manipulate powers is by touching people for periods of time. This can make it difficult to manipulate the powers of certain Meta-humans, and all someone has to do is stay out of her reach. Or just hit her when she does touch them, Lily has little in terms of direct offensive power. This also leaves her open to attack in the process of manipulating powers. This means that it's extremely hard for her to manipulate the powers of those who don't want her to (Or it can leave her open to attack). It also takes a very long time for her to manipulate powers themselves (Depending on what she's doing), which can leave her open as well. Her Power Charging/Dampening will only last around a few minutes. There's an averse affect when she Charges/Dampens a power. If she Charges a Meta-human, their powers will temporarily be weaker after it wares off. When she Dampens a power, it will be temporarily stronger, once it wears off.

The longest the effects of her actual Power Manipulation will last is at least three hours. It may be shorter, may be longer--- It's generally erratic. If she charges a Meta-human too much then they run the risk of ashing. If they use all their supercharged power in one powerful attack, then they'll likely run the risk of ashing too. They have to use their power in short and controlled bursts to avoid this. Both outcomes are (Likely) bad for her since the people she'll want to charge will be allies (Most of the time).

Lily uses her own unique meta-energy to fuel her powers and has a sort of battery that runs inside of her. Different tasks with her powers uses up a different amount of energy. Direct-manipulation of powers uses up her powers the most, and charging depends on the amount she charges. Weakening abilities takes up the least amount of her energy. If she uses her powers too much, then she'll temporarily lose access to all her powers and will have to recharge. She'll have to recharge all of her energy before she uses her powers again. It'll take up to a few days for her to completely recharge her energy, without the presence of other Meta-humans. The time it'll take will vary depending on who she's around. Giving a person powers will drain most of her energy. The only exception is her ability to sense powers, which doesn't use her energy. Lily doesn't know how to use her abilities, which is easily her biggest weakness at the moment. This may change over time with practice--- But, that may be difficult due to her aversion to using her powers. Finally, Lily can in no way alter or enhance her own abilities.

Lily also no longer has no offensive powers. Which means that she's virtually defenseless. Making her more suited to a support role in the story.

Burst Potential: Omicron (She has already preformed this Burst)

Basic Information

Name: He keeps his real name a secret
Nicknames: Hunter
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Height: 5'10
Weight: 164



Appearance

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Nationality: American
Physical Appearance: Hunter is lanky, yet thin. He has a rather pale complexion, due to the use of his powers. His skin is scarred with hideous looking wounds, the most notable ones were the ones on his palms. His palms appear completely covered in scars from what appears to be blades. These scars on his body are a mix of old scars and new scars. Making obvious that he's had some of these scars for years on end. Fortunately, there aren't too many scars on his face and head. Except for a small scar that he got under his eye, and a scar on the bridge of his nose. The rest of his upper body is literally coated in thousands of different scars. Other than the scar his skin has other imperfections such as moles, and blemishes. He is rather thin, as he has a healthy build. He does look rather unimposing, and weak. Like he can't do anything physically. Hunter's face is squared and well defined. His nose is thin and one of the least notable things about his face. He has a pair of black wide set eyes which are a few inches away from each other. His eyes are notably big. His lips are thin, and is mouth is average sized. Hunter is always sporting a facial expression that is of fear, or paranoia. Hunter isn't exactly an attractive person. He has hair cut short, and it's wavy. He also has hair on the rest of his body, and is growing a small stubble.

Attire: In public, Hunter tends to wear heavy outfits that cover up much of his body. Because of all the scars he has, naturally. He'll wear a long sleeved overcoat, or any article of clothing as long as it covers his being. When alone he'll dress rather lightly. His outfit changes from day to day. One thing he will always have is a large black tote bag slung over his shoulder. This bag appears to be for women but he doesn't really care. Inside this bag is several art supplies, such as paint brushes, paint, etc. He also holds a first aid kit, which he knows how to use. Hunter always keeps a switch blade in his bag.

Personality

Innate Personality: Innately, Hunter is always wondering why he can't be like other people. He always feels conflicted about things, and wishes that everyone else would be like him so he wouldn't feel so awkward. At times the only thing that made him feel normal is his art. While it's more subtle than anything he has an obsession with art. His goal in life is create his masterpiece. When someone damages his art he tends to get upset, and at times violent. It brings out his "bad side" very easily. Which makes him act, instead of think. Other than that he's a thinker. In his own head he analyses things, and takes note of plenty of things. He does have a great memory and is precise. Sometimes when stressed he tends over think things and force himself into a metaphorical corner.

Outward Personality: Outwardly, Hunter is rather odd, creepy even. The way he talks, the way he looks, those scars, it's rather unnerving. However, he's social, just not very good at it. It's because of the aforementioned habit of not getting people. Some things will simply perplex him. He also tends to be blank and blunt, never will he beat around the bush. He tends to be oblivious to somethings. Hunter will be polite to people unless given a reason not to. With people he doesn't like he'll just ignore them and let them do their own thing. He's long learned how to ignore jerks. At times it appears that he can't stand up for himself. Except when they push him too far, then he won't hesitate to fight. Unlike some people he doesn't really fear pain or threats from other people, and if motivated enough. There is a limit to this, however. Like many others he tends to avoid dying the hardest he can. Hunter is a very kind person, and will always think about other people when he makes a decision. At heart he's a kind person, he just tends to act strange, and out. When he's stressed he tends to act a bit more erratic, and won't think some things through. One thing that brings him great pride is his artistry skill, nothing will make him feel better than showing off his pictures to those who are interested. He also tends to draw things. Whether it be an object he likes, a scene, or people. Except he doesn't draw them with his own blood.


Hobbies/Skills: Art. From a young age Hunter has been interested in art, and is considered to be a prodigy when it comes to art. He can draw well with his fingers, and brushes well, he knows how to use other forms, but isn't as good. Hunter also knows how to use first aid kits. He also done some fencing, so he knows a bit of swordplay.

Abilities

Power Class: Other

Power: This power is inspired by a video I once saw of a very special artist... You'll figure out who after reading. Hunter has access to the mighty blood-art technique. Which allows him to draw things with  blood and whatever he draws will take a physical form identical to the drawing. Essentially he can create constructs out of blood. All these constructs will be texture-less, yet blood colored. For him to accomplish this he has to draw a useful amount of blood, then if he has a solid surface; draw exactly what he wants to materialize on it, then it'll sort of come to life. Of course he also has to concentrate hard on what he wants to create. By concentrating these constructs will be able to mimic the features of what he's drawing. Such as if he thinks of a sword really hard while drawing it; it will be metal-like. He can create virtually anything as long as he has enough blood and it isn't too large. Hunter also has the ability to control what he materializes to an extent. In a short orb (around two feet) around him, he can move objects telekinetically, which allows him better control over his constructs. Even if he's holding them. Which is how he appears to be rather skilled in wielding weapons, because he's telekinetically guiding them to their target. In addition to these powers, Hunter is able to regenerate blood extremely fast, and wounds a bit faster. His body also contains a larger amount of blood than average.

At this point he is unable to create living beings with his art. However, in due time he'll have the potential to bring life to his drawings, if they're drawings of creatures/animals.

Weaknesses: Hunter can only use his own blood to draw art. He can't create mechanics with his art, only static objects. While Hunter can regenerate wounds and blood faster, there's a limit to it. It's far from instant, and he may lose too much blood and possibly die. Which is rather dis-servicing because he also has to produce enough blood out of his skin to make art. That requires him to make a rather large wound to produce enough blood. His most blatant weakness is that he requires a bit of time to make art. While he can draw something rather fast with his fingers alone he needs a few minutes to draw. However, he has worked around this by keeping a book of everything he usually draws and keeps it close to him at all times. Speaking of which, he has to draw what he wants to create exactly. It's size, it's detail, etc. Even if he mis-draws one line when it takes a physical shape it'll be rather deformed. It's a little quirk of his to never let this happen, and will scrap the whole thing just to fix that one error. Finally, once he draws the picture and it takes a physical form, the drawing will be left behind and if it's tampered with even in the slightest the construct will be destroyed, until it's corrected and reappears.

Basic Information

Name: Lin Chai Kentt
Nicknames: Mimic/Decoy Octopus, China-Girl
Gender: Female (She can change genders)
Age: 16
Height: 5'7 (Across both forms)
Weight: 136 (Weight changes depending on current form, this is the weight of both of her forms)


Appearance

Hair Color: Black, (Across both forms, her default form has jet-black hair)
Eye Color: Brown (Default Form), Blue (Natural Form)
Nationality: Chinese
Physical Appearance: Lin has two bodies she mainly appears as because of her Shape-shifting power. There's her super attractive "default" form, which is default because it is her preferred form. Then there's, her original/natural form, which is far less attractive. Lin can become virtually any human, and alter her appearance to a degree.

In her "default" form, she is beautiful, even better looking than models. She no longer appears to be ugly, and unattractive like her natural/original form--- Now she's quite the opposite. Easily one of the most beautiful women in the Academy. She appears to be completely different as well, retaining many similarities to her original, natural form. Lin has a very athletic build. She has a thin body, with a muscular build. She appears to be muscular throughout her body, and she has six-pack abs on her belly. She's mostly muscular because she plays lots of soccer. Lin's skin is a perfect shade of yellow, true to her Chinese descents. Her skin appears to be much lighter compared to her original body. Her skin is plastered with brown freckles, the most of them are on her face. Lin's face is much, much better looking than before. She has a near avian-like face, that is very well defined. Her cheeks are small, and somewhat squared due to her sharp jaw-line. Her head is heart shaped. It is large at the top, and as it goes down, it gets sleeker and pointed. Her chin is pointed, and she has a very sharp and pronounced jawline. Her eyes are brown colored, and average sized. True to her Asian descents, her eyes are pointed at the side. Lin's lips are thick and full. They aren't that noticeable compared to the rest of her face. Her being is completely scar-less, and without any moles or blemishes. Lin's hair is an unnatural shade of black, and straight. She keeps it in a small bun, on the top of the back of her head. On the bun, she usually has a plastic flower stuck into it.

In her natural form, she is far less attractive. She looks fairly bland and ugly to be honest. She has a slim, athletic frame. She has some wide shoulders and thick legs. She's also muscular, not as muscular as she is in her default form. But, her arms, and legs seem to be well defined. That obviously suggests that she has been living an athletic life. Which is true since she plays plenty of soccer. From that athletic life; she has plenty of scars on her body. Just plastered around her body, there isn't any scars with any major stories attached to them. Lin isn't exactly a looker. She's pretty ugly to be honest. She has a very wide head. Her face is rounded, and pudgy. Her cheeks are wide and pudgy, she has moles and blemishes all over them. She has a very small nose, with small nostrils along with a long nose-bridge. Her ears are average sized and slightly pointed at the very top. Her eyes are also a bit smaller than average, her eyes a beautiful shade of blue. It makes her look unlike her Asian descent. Since the usual eye color of that race is brown/darker. Lin has several brown freckles plastered across her face and some places on her body.

Attire: Lin's attire varies greatly from day to day, and it depends on her current form. Despite her (Usual) super-model appearance, she dresses quite blandly sometimes. She usually wears any clothes that both fit and match. She does like to wear frilled shirts and dress shirts. She is usually seen wearing tan jeans, or cargo pants. There is one thing that Lin will never be seen without a golden ring on the index finger of her right arm. It is a wedding ring, even though Lin wasn't married. Which is a gift from one of her oldest friends, before she went away. This ring reminds Lin of that special friend. On special occasions, Lin can be seen wearing an assortment of dresses. Most of them are modest, and show little to no naughty bits. Most of these dresses are white colored.

Personality


Innate & Outward Personality: Lin is a very nice and polite person. She almost never treats anyone unfairly and rudely at first. She's a very easy person to get along with, as long as you're nice in return. To those who aren't, she isn't exactly mentally or emotionally capable of dealing with them. She can easily be insulted if someone is nasty enough. She's not exactly good with come-backs either. Lin isn't a violent person. She usually avoids people who use violence for "wrong" reasons. However, she can tolerate a person who fights for good reasons (In her eyes). As long as they don't act like thugs. Lin herself will use violence or lethal force whenever it becomes necessary. Lin can be a bit of a doormat at times. Easy to intimidate with violence, and is easily bullied. She doesn't have the will to stand up for herself. This means that she can be forced into something that she doesn't want to be rather easily. Lin will try to avoid this by either running away or hiding from someone who does. This mentally that she has stems from earlier childhood bullying and abuse. Lin is a quiet girl when around other people. She just stays quiet (or in the background) while other people talk, and sometimes when someone says something; she'll speak. This doesn't count if she's apart of the active conversation.

In terms of D&D Morality, I'd say she's Lawful Good.

Hobbies/Skills: Lin has a near infinite amount of patience. It is almost impossible for her to get bored. Aside from that, Lin  plays a lot of soccer. She's extremely good at running and very skilled with the sport. She's on the road to becoming a professional. As a side effect of this, she can run pretty fast (Depending on her current form). Lin is also a very good swimmer, she can swim quite fast. She also likes sledding, Peter Pan, country music, wind chimes, pocket-watches, whales, and meteorology.

Abilities


Power Class: Cerebral (Main), Anatomical/Biological and Super-System

Power: Telepathic Shape-Shifting. Lin's power is a mix/link between Telepathy and Shape-shifting. By focusing enough, she can read the minds of those she chooses, making her telepath. Albeit, from the start of the RP, a basic one. However, this is only the first step to her true power. Lin can read the minds of those around her, and Shape-shift into people based around those thoughts. When people think a thought about or relating to someone, no matter the thought, Lin can shape-shift into the exact person (s)he thought of (Regardless of gender). It can be a general thought, like "Did Alice turn off the TV?" or maybe remembering/thinking of a character from a TV show. It can be anyone. As long as the person's thought has someone in it, and that person knows who it looks like, Lin can flawlessly copy the person's form, from their outward appearance, all the way to their voice. The person thinking the thought just has to remember it. She'll also appear to have their scars, tattoos and other physical alterations (If it's remembered). This ability dives deep within someone's mind. Gathering as much information on their appearance as she can via all their memories. However, she won't know these memories, only know what the person looks like from the memories. Which means she'll always have a more complete shape-shift, without even knowing the person's memories. Lin can assume the forms she's assumed in the past as long as she remembers them. Through this power is how Lin went from a generally unattractive girl to an absolute Asian-bombshell. She asked several people what they thought was an amazing looking Asian-female. She recorded all the thoughts and went with the one that she thought looked the best. Lin has over a hundred different forms. Lin will also always know if a Cerebral type is attempting to access her mind.

Lin can freely alter some aspects of her body (Even if she's already shape-shifted into someone), to a degree. She can freely change the color of her skin, hair, eyes, to anything within the natural spectrum. Based off the forms she remembers, she can also freely change her facial features - She can change her eyes, chin, nose, lips, etc (You get the picture), and mix and match facial features. Lin can also freely change her gender, regardless of form - For maximum awkwardness. Even while she's already assumed a form of someone, she can do this. Lin can also create her own tattoos and scars, just by thinking about it. She can create intricate tattoos and some brutal scars freely. Which helps her disguises quite a bit. Lin can also create false injuries, she can mold burns and small cuts. This can help her fool opponents - However, she cannot create/draw blood. Finally, Lin can change her voice to that of others - All she has to do is hear it before.

Lin has plenty telepathic abilities in her potential. She won't be able to reach all of them during the course of the story. Her telepathy will also get stronger as the story goes on - Right now it's pretty weak, but as the story goes along, she'll be able to go from reading one person's thoughts at a time to possibly reading several minds. Abilities she can learn: sending her own thoughts to people, digging into minds/memories (Allowing her to see memories), sending out a near-invisible wave of mental energy that will scramble someone's mind temporarily (Causing headaches, thoughts and emotions going crazy, senses being dulled, etc), mind-linking with anyone of choice, and putting up mental barriers that will defend her from Cerebral-type powers as well as cloak her from cerebral-based detection/location. Eventually, she'll also be able to shape-shift into anyone she thinks of, and alter her current body any way she pleases by thinking about the changes. The absolute form of Shape-shifting.


Weaknesses: At the moment her shape-shifting depends on her emotional and physical state. She must be either kept in a good emotional and physical state, or else she won't be able to shape-shift properly or maintain those forms as well. Some frequencies of sound and light will cause her to revert back to her original/natural form. Just not to defeat the purpose of having this ability; Lin can only assume forms based off the thoughts from people around her (Currently). It heavily depends on what the person remembers. Say if the person doesn't know something about someone, her own mind will subconsciously fill in the blanks. Which can easily mess up something major about someone's appearance. It can also be difficult when it comes to minor details, say if they forget about a scar on someone's then Lin's form will be without that detail as well. The same applies if they make a mistake about someone. In either case, if she's trying to impersonate someone and there's a mistake about their appearance; she's going to have a bad time. Since she can only shape-shift into whatever one person thinks; it can be literally anyone. For example; it could be what someone used to look like, what they want the person to look like, etc. She may end up with some inaccurate, or unneeded forms. This can be either good or bad. Clothing isn't incorporated into the shape-shifting, she'll have to find some new clothes that fit her new body, if necessary. Lin can shape-shift into any form as long as there isn't a large mass difference. If there is a large difference - She'd either be a smaller/bigger version of that person. Which is a instant giveaway if she tries to disguise herself.

She can only turn into humans. Animals and Animal Meta-humans are %100 out of the question. Lin will always have the same scent no matter what form she takes. Telepaths (and certain other Cerebral Types) can potentially see through her shape-shifting and know her original form.

Burst Potential: Zeta, Delta and Alpha

Name: Rosemary Faith Kelson

Nickname/Alias: Faith (since she prefers her middle name)

Gender: female

Age: 16

Height: 5’5”

Weight: 105 lbs.


Appearance

Hair Color: Faith’s hair is a light brown color, but she has added in a few light blue highlights to it

Eye Color: blue

Ethnicity: Caucasian American (white)

Physical Appearance: Faith has pale skin and strait hair that extends a couple inches past her shoulders. She usually wears it down and prefers not to curl it or change her hairstyle in any way. She also prefers to not wear a lot of makeup, since to her it feels weird on her skin. Faith has a few freckles, mainly on her face, but there are a few on her arms and legs. Faith’s body is pretty much average-shaped for a girl her age. She has a small scar below her lip from where she had once fallen and split her lip open when she was around five years old, but it’s hard to see since the scar blends in with her pale skin. I am going to go ahead and include her speech patterns here, too. Faith usually talks in a quiet tone of voice unless she actually knows the person really well (like her mom or a friend) then she talks at a normal tone around them.

Attire: Faith prefers to wear faded skinny jeans with a pair of black flats. Her shirts are normally plain with no designs on them, but in different colors. She wears a white, neon paint-splattered jacket with the shirts, though, as a small way to “accessorize.” Faith also wears a few bracelets on her right hand. They are usually the type of bracelets you see that are made of rubber and say random things on them like, “BFF” and “YOLO.” Though she originally wore glasses, Faith eventually switched to contacts. She carries around a small white purse that has a 3DS in it along with her cell phone and a notebook and pencil. To finish up her outfit Faith wears a plain gold necklace that was her grandmother’s before she passed away.


Personality

Innate Personality: Faith is usually just video gaming or studying when she’s alone. There’s not much to say here, and since it’s an optional topic I don’t have to say much

Outward Personality: Faith is shy around other people, and usually doesn’t talk very much unless there is something that really sparks her interest brought up. When she gets comfortable around someone, though, she begins to talk a lot more.

Hobbies/Interests: Faith carries a 3DS so she can play video games in her free time. She also has a dislike for anime (why am I making my character do this? ;_; ) but she still hangs out with a few “otaku” friends. She spends a lot of time on some sort of electronic device when she’s at home or around town.

Skills/Talents: Faith is pretty good at school work. She is a strait A student and what some may call, “A teacher’s pet.” Keep in mind she is not a genius, she just studies a lot when she’s not video gaming. Normal IQ, but still has good grades. Simple. She is good at video gaming, considering it’s what she does most of the time. However, Faith has never been good at socializing. As explained earlier, she is shy. While she may be academically smart, Faith is also not very good at sports. She is thin, so that enables her to run at a decent speed, but in the strength category she is a weakling and doesn’t have very good endurance. That’s one reason she prefers video gaming.

Goals: Faith’s main driving force is curiosity. She may be shy, but like many human beings, curiosity gets the best of her and she tries to find out new things. Then she usually wants to best everyone around her and do better than them as a way of quietly getting noticed. Faith would never admit to trying to be better than others, though. But then again, who would?

History/Bio: Faith moved to her grandmother’s house in the Westside of Black Falls with her mom at around age 10, not long after her parents got a divorce. She had actually been very talkative before the divorce, but after she moved with her mom she slowly but surely became more quiet and shy, and turned more often to video games. Despite her being shy, however, Faith still wanted to be noticed and hang out with other people, (however that works) so she took to studying different school subjects to get noticed academically, even though it mainly got her called a nerd. Faith didn’t mind, though, since the good grades got her attention and it made her better at something then other kids at school. At age 13, Faith’s grandmother, who had been one of the people she looked up to the most, died, which greatly saddened Faith. She grieved for a while, but eventually pushed the memory to the back of her mind. She is now in the othergrounds
and dates Nick, the Operator's OC

Favorite color:

Prized Possession: Faith’s most prized possession is the necklace she wears that used to belong to her grandmother.


Relationships
Mom: alive (but they usually have disagreements)
Dad: alive (Faith doesn’t talk to him)
Step mom: alive (same as relationship with Dad)
Siblings: none
Step-siblings: one brother and a sister, both alive (same as Dad)
Grandmother (mom’s side): deceased
Grandfather (mom’s side): deceased
Grandmother (dad’s side): alive (same)
Grandfather (dad’s side): alive (same)


Power Class: elemental, Energy (I think....)

Power: Faith’s ability is that she can manipulate electronics to have them do random things, such as turn a blender on that is across the room, crash a computer, have an arcade game erase the high scores, etc. She is pretty much like a living universal remote that can control any electronic device. Faith uses this ability mainly whenever she’s playing a video game and about to lose (though she’s become something of a video game addict/specialist/whatever-you-wanna-call-it, so that doesn’t happen very often)

Weaknesses: Though Faith can control electronic devices, she has to be within ten feet in order to do so. Also, when it comes to ordering a device to do something, the more complex the command the harder it is to do it. Turning a computer on and off is easy, but trying to delete the files on the computer with an order is harder.

Burst Potential: Faith can only do an alpha burst, and what probably would happen in an alpha burst to her is that she has a sudden moment of being able to control an electronic device so well that she is pretty much the device….. It’s hard to explain…. Something like the device actually coming alive with her soul in it, I suppose. Um…. I’ll try and explain it better if you don’t get it ^_^

Name: Crystal Chanten
Nickname:
Gender: female
Age: 15
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 98 lbs


Appearance

Hair Color: dirty blonde
Eye Color: light blue
nationality: Caucasian American
Physical Appearance: Crystal is of average height and weight for a person her age. She has a slight tan but has hardly any freckles on her body. Her hair extends to around mid-back. Though it’s naturally strait, but Crystal prefers to keep it up in a ponytail. She has an oval shaped face. Crystal wears glasses, though they don't really make her look nerdy. She has a regular fifteen year old girl's figure. She is slightly underweight, but she doesn't really care about it. Crystal has a clean, zit-free face and doesn't really wear much make up. Also, Crystal's tone of voice is usually laid back. In truth, though, she is never really that relaxed.
Attire: Crystal has a more girly style. She wears skirts a lot with flip flops. She wears a variety of shirts from floral to plain to ones that button all the way down. She sometimes wears dresses, though not very often. Crystal also wears a silver bracelet on her right wrist that has her name engraved on the side. She also wears a silver locket that used to have her parent's faces in them, but she tore them out and replaced it with her sister's face. Crystal also has a white backpack that's been doodled all over that has a few overly-worn journals and pencils in it. She may have an orange or two in it :3


Personality

Innate Personality: Crystal usually day dreams about different things. She also spends time wondering about useless "what would have happened if...?" situations. Pretty much regretting certain things. Mainly regretting ever showing her parents the letter inviting her to Sparrowdale.

Outward Personality: Crystal is normally very sociable towards everyone and is also laid back. That would be the first thing to notice about her personality. Another notable part of Crystal’s outward behavior is that at times when she is being spoken to she seems to space out, thinking of some other subject instead of the one being currently talked about, which isn’t the best thing to happen at many times. Though she may be able to talk a lot and seem sociable, Crystal prefers to be alone and left to her thoughts at times.

Hobbies/skills: Crystal has been taking pictures her whole life, so her photography skills are pretty good. She also enjoys writing which is a reason she has a journal she carries around with her. The journal is full of random stories or notes about things she notices.

History/Bio: Crystal grew up in a small town in Texas being known as the "smart girl." She had several friends in her town and had a good family life with her parents still married and a loving sister. One day, when Crystal checked the mail, she found a letter from Sparrowdale academy. She didn't want to go, but decided to go ahead and show her parents the letter out of respect. Her parents thought it would be a good idea to have her go, which made Crystal very frustrated. She had fights with her parents for days afterwards, and her sister sided with her considering that she should be able to make her own choices. The day Crystal left for the academy she took their pictures out of the locket she had and replaced it with a picture of her sister. Now Crystal is at the academy.... like everyone else.

Prized Possession: Crystal's notebook and locket

Abilities


Power Class: cerebral

Power: Crystal is a Psionist. This means she can use more of her mind and access parts of it normal human beings can’t. She uses PSI (pretty much brain power) to use her ability. PSI can be divided into three categories (enhance, blast, and trance) but Crystal’s PSI abilities mainly focus on enhance. Enhance can be subdivided into three more categories- healing, an increase in the five senses, and increase in things such as speed, strength, and stamina. Crystal isn’t an experienced psionist, so she can only tap into the “healing” area and also increase her five senses. Crystal can use we healing ability on others, but not enhance other people's five senses

Weaknesses: The main three things needed to use PSI are concentration, visualization, and projection. In other words, in order for Crystal to use her PSI ability whatsoever, she has to use a great deal of concentration, visualizing, and mental energy. If Crystal is lacking in any of these, she could easily be given a huge, unwanted headache. The same result goes for if she were to overuse her psionic abilities. When it comes to Crystal’s healing ability, she can heal a variety of wounds, but the larger the wound the longer it takes to heal. A small scratch only takes a few seconds but a large, deep gash in someone’s arm could take around ten minutes. As for Crystal’s increase in her five senses…. She just has to concentrate hard for the increase, so the more concentration, the stronger her senses. It takes a lot of PSI concentration to increase the ability by only 50%, though, so she doesn’t really use the sense increase very often.
Burst Potential: Crystal could probably do an omega burst where her healing speed would increase along with her ability to increase her senses by a certain amount will grow and she won’t have to use as much concentration.

Other: Crystal's favorite food is.... oranges :3

Name: Alexia Smith
Nicknames: Lexy
Gender: female
Age: 14
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 93 lbs



Appearance

Hair Color: brown with blonde streaks
Eye Color: light green
Nationality: Caucasian American
Physical Appearance: Lexy has a skinny body and is average in height. Her skin color is pale despite her constant presence in the sun, with freckles scattered throughout many places on her body. She has brown hair that extends to about a inch past her shoulders that's in curls, but not the kind that basically makes your hair untamable. The kind that mainly makes your hair settle in a few ringlets. There are some blonde streaks in her hair from spending so much time in the sun. She prefers to keep her hair down. Lexy doesn't have any noticeable scars on her body though she does have a birthmark on the back of her right arm that some people may mistake for a bruise at times. Lexy also doesn't wear any make up. She prefers to keep herself looking completely natural.

Attire: Lexy wears any bright or girly attire. She especially enjoys wearing floral print. She is usually seen in sun dresses and skirts. She also wears neon colored flip flops and flats. (even in the winter time) Whenever it is cold, Lexy usually just adds in some leggings and a brightly colored jacket to her outfit. She also carries around a purse with various items in it: a brush, camera, and cell phone. Those are the main items.
Personality

Innate Personality: "Oooh, that person seems friendly! I should go talk to him! I wonder what his power is?" Lexy enjoys talking and has a small attention span. She really likes to daydream, as well. (she daydreams about the most random things that have no relation to anything mentioned, though.)
Outward Personality: Lexy talks the way she thinks- randomly and full of happiness that seems to have no known source. She usually starts conversations by asking someone what their power is or if they have one. She is really nosey about that sort of thing. Lexy may be really nice, but many can find her inability to shut up annoying. Also she isn't that smart, either.
Hobbies/Skills: Lexy likes to daydream and talk. She is also into a lot of sports and is very skilled in basketball.


History/Bio: Lexy grew up in a wealthy family as a single child so she was kind of spoiled. It doesn't seem that way for how the girl acts, however. (happy-go-lucky, friendly, etc.) Lexy was known as popular at her school mainly due to her athletic skills in some sports and her- and please excuse the term- "blonde" behavior. Her parents agreed to send her to the othergrounds to try to get Lexy more academically fit. Lexy didn't mind, though. It just meant she could meet more people to talk to and that the people would have powers.
Favorite color:


Abilities

Power Class: super system, cerebral (I think....XD)

Power: Lexy has perfect aim. The way she can use her power is her mind is able to connect up different facts about her surroundings that the normal mind can't. Her eyes also play a role in this, as she has above average eyesight that can help with determining speed and distance for objects. Lexy doesn't realize her own mind does this, however. She just throws an object and knows it will land at the target.

Weaknesses: Though Lexy may have perfect aim, let's think realistically, here. She cannot change the laws of physics. Nothing she throws can magically change directions without an outside force acting on it. She doesn't have super strength so she can't throw any further then the average person. Not to mention the fact that she can't decide if someone dodges an object or not. So, you get the point- she has a realistic perfect aim

Burst Potential: Omega burst
Other: Not much else to say....

Basic Information

Name: Jesse Sutor
Nicknames:
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Height: 5'8" - 5'9"
Weight: 141



Appearance

Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Race: Caucasion (Italian, Scotch-Irish, Czechoslovakian, Cherokee)
Physical Appearance: Let's start off by describing what we already know; Jesse is about 5'8" and weighs about 140 lbs. He has an average body figure, and is well solid enough. While not athletic, he has a fair amount of muscle in his arms and body despite having poor muscle tone - his abdominal muscles are fairly strong, maybe even abs if there wasn't just a thin layer of padding over it. He has been described as having broad shoulders and strong hands. His legs are fairly strong as well, and exhibits good muscle control while rock climbing, and is able to flex the muscles in his calves and can suck in his stomach. While not the pinnacle of attractiveness, he could be described as easy enough to look at - square chin, high cheekbones, blue eyes, long brown hair that hangs down just below his shoulders. Despite his Cherokee genes being rather small in percentage compared to the rest of his heritage lines (namely Italian), it does appear to have had a strong influence over his facial structure. He is slightly tanned, mostly being his arms and face, and can be considered pale by some standards. As for the expression he usually wears, he might look a little solemn when he's thinking, which can warrant occasional misunderstandings and usually doesn't smile too much unless given a reason to. Regardless of this, he does have a bright smile and you can tell by his disposition that he tries to come off as warm, welcoming and respectful to the people he interacts with. His posture isn't perfect, as he has a habit of standing up straight, posture-perfect, to slouching like a kid in the slums without much prompt. He has few scars to speak of aside from one on each knee, a long streak across his right calve, and maybe a couple burns marks on his hands and forearms. His face isn't utterly perfect either; he has few traces of acne, maybe a subtle blemish on his skin. His facial skin, which, is slightly scarred from the years of his teenage life where acne was a much more common occurrence. However, they tend to blend in and so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. Semi-thick brows and lashes. Clean shaven. Not much more to talk about regarding his face, except for the couple chipped teeth in his mouth from an accident when he was younger, but they don't look too terribly bad. He lacks much of an accent, and has one hell of a foot to his step most of the time, wanting to get to where he needs to go with little delay.

Attire: Wearing the same thing over and over again isn't something that's new to Jesse, considering that he has had a small wardrobe for the longest time during his youth (or rather, younger than he already is). However, he managed to branch out a little more with the greater income of money (before he was sent away to the Othergrounds). This being the case, he wanted to look nice on his first day. He wore a loose fitting white v-neck shirt -- not his ideal preference, but whatever, he could deal with it. On top of that was a tailored fit (that's what the tag said) black and yellow (more like mustard) plaid button-up shirt. He often leaves the top two buttons undone and he rolls up the sleeves up to his elbows or so, so that his forearms are free. He also wore a pair of dark grey jeans that were faded around the knees and thighs from use, and was fastened to his hips with a black fabric belt. With them was a not-so-neat pair of hiking boots (with white ankle socks, which were concealed by the high tops) that looked to be really old, beat up, and they formed comfortably to his feet. The soles were still in tact and the most damage they had was that one part of the shoe laces were stripped of its sleeve revealing a white string. One of the metal loops that held the shoe laces, near the front of his right shoe, popped out. This causes a metal clicking noise every time he made a step. He has no jewelry in his possession, the closest being a hair tie he wears on his right wrist.

Personality

Outward Personality: He tries his best be warm, respectful and open about who he is, what he does, and how he thinks. He is generally accepting of others and their beliefs as long as they don't aggressively act upon them, and dislikes it when people try to convert him to their way of thinking. When personally meeting another person, he tries to be as respectful as he can, and if the conversation takes a wrong turn, or if the person turns out to have an ugly character, he generally just apologizes and/or shys away while making an excuse why he has to go, not wanting to be acquainted with that sort. He seems thoughtful, follows the path of least resistance, and tries to be there for his friends while he can. He'll be the one in the group of people having a good enough time without talking a whole lot, but will contribute when prompted. Unfortunately inner turmoil can cause him to snap at people, even if they aren't to blame for anything. A little impatient, rather curious, willing to learn. Described as creative and intelligent, rather wise for his age. Despite being seventeen, his disposition and the way he talks, the vocabulary he uses and more, can make him appear older and so he gets along well with older age groups. He's usually cautionary, but would also rather do things his own way.

Innate Personality: Despite his warm outer appearance, he is actually rather hard to impress... and as opposed to his outward personality, Jesse feels as if he's struggling with a lot of things. Being a twin brother, he gets compared a lot to his quieter, cynical, "well-behaved" conformist sibling. Thus, he gets labeled as the outgoing, in-your-face one and gets bought ridiculous clothing with stupid jokes on them. He hates that, given that he's none of those things. He hates being compared to his brother. Also because of his poor relationship with his twin, Jesse never felt as if he has a brotherly relationship with him. However, all that is just the tip of the iceberg, and isn't one of the things he actually thinks about frequently. Experiences left him a self-loathing, lonely, confused person. He doesn't feel successful, he doesn't feel capable, no skills or talents, nor does he feel he has any purpose. Prior to the Othergrounds, he was incredibly scared of moving out since he had no experience living alone, nobody taught him to drive. He feels ill-prepared. Internally, he has a big "what's the point" attitude and that he "won't amount to anything". Regardless of these feelings he has, he still presses on and does what he can to help whether it be menial tasks or providing support. His views come off as agnostic and liberal. He's an idealist at heart. He struggles with his self-loathing half and tries hard every day to conquer it, support from certain people makes it easier. The recent discovery of his power has actually made him afraid of himself, and he refuses to use it most of the time (usually done in private and with something small, like a lizard).  While open, he isn't open about his actual feelings and has trust issues to boot. Prying his shell apart is a feat in itself.

Hobbies/Skills: He has come to have an appreciation for food and cooking, and has made a couple of meals that even managed to impress himself. He enjoys rollerblading and rock climbing. While talking isn't his primary idea of a good time, he does enjoy talking to and getting to know certain people. In his free time, he enjoys listening to music and looking up random people on the internet performing covers of songs, usually with violins and pianos.

History/Bio: Tch... a bio would justify everything, yes, but that will take a while and I don't want to write one for my own reasons.

Abilities

Power Class: Cerebral, Animal/Plant, Other

Power: Biological animation, basically controlling things that are made of natural, living tissue and have them perform tasks according to your will This is limited to only dead or incapacitated humans and creatures. As such, the power can be described as necromancy without all the tortured soul business. You could, theoretically, try to animate a living, fully conscious person. However, the ability is easily overpowered by sheer natural instinct and drive and a strong mind. But the effect would be enough to keep someone from punching you. Sort of. Basically someone throws a punch at you, just inches away from connecting with your face, so you try to gain control of their animation. Of course you can't really control them, the most you'd be able to do is stop their punch for a split second or move their swing off to the side. That is the most you could do in terms of animating a conscious person. They would regain their composure fairly quickly but that single moment would give you enough time to avoid that bow. The power is kind of passive in that it isn't aggressive, but isn't quite just defensive either.

This goes for live creatures as well, such as dogs and birds. Natural drive is just too strong. But he could control dead or incapacitated creatures, and to some degree, plant matter but to a much lesser extent.

Weaknesses: There isn't so much a weakness to the power as there are limits. He can only animate and control dead or incapacitated humans and animals. Some creatures, like certain insects, he can control simple because they haven't got much of a mind to resist with.

Basic Information

Name: Damon Viscous
Nicknames: When pushed, Damon and his sanity snaps which brings out his alter-ego that calls himself "Lieo".
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 165 lbs.



Appearance

Hair Color: Black and short cropped with widow's peak (clean shaven face)
Eye Color: Hazel
Nationality: Originally Canadian
Physical Appearance: He has a somewhat slouched posture during relaxed, casual occasions, but can stand up straight with shoulders broad at 5’11” when the situation calls for formality. The man’s build is average; he isn’t athletic, and he doesn’t have chiseled abs – but living on the run has kept him somewhat active so while he does have some body fat, it isn’t in excessive amounts. Damon’s complexion is rather fine actually, save for the occasional blemish or inflammation caused by irritation of the skin. One thing that an observant person would notice about him is that his fair skin doesn’t show. His hands are usually tucked in his pockets, his neck is wrapped in that bandana, all you can really see of him-him is his face and his hands, maybe the top of the back of his neck. His face, which, if he was working, would appear stern and his brows creased in concentration and forethought. Or he could be smiling, which shows off the dimples in his cheeks. Most often though, if you were to find him on the streets, he would look wary. Almost jumpy, even. Just by looking at him you can tell he isn’t a murderer or a crook though. More like a man with a terrible secret, a burden that weighs him down with every step he makes. In the Othergrounds though? He looks more self-conscious than anything - as if he's comfortable, but feels bad about it.

Attire: He has a worn down, brown leather jacket that appears to be riddled with holes, and beneath that is a simple white t-shirt, also appearing to have many holes in it. In fact, almost every piece of his clothing appears to have holes in it, even the black designer jeans (you probably shouldn’t ask him where he got it). The only exception there seems to be are these rough looking brown leather boots, that may or may not be steel toed, but I’m sure you wouldn’t want to find out. He also seems to have a white bandana with black print that’s tied loosely around his neck. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t appear to be there for any purpose other than just being there.

Personality

Innate Personality: In truth, Damon is in fact an introvert, rather having to sit back whilst in a group or in the company of peers, which are few in between. However, he hides this with the mask of a positive disposition. He lacks a kind of assertiveness while in casual interactions, and has one, maybe two friends if he’s lucky, that he can feel comfortable around. He feels haunted by his past, and he isn't proud of what he did to earn money before he found his place in the Othergrounds, but he doesn't regret his actions - what he regrets is the accident that occurred that had him hunted down in the first place. As a result, he is also afraid of getting close to people or getting into dangerous situations that he cannot control. It's out of fear of harming someone again and losing himself in the process. His intelligence is an outstanding factor. What he lacks in physical aptitude, he makes up for being a tech wiz. He even made his own computer and rigged a mobile wifi hotspot, which allows him to cruise the internet as fast as a roadrunner. While on the run, he has gotten by only because of a side job that he had (along with stealing occasionally). He is capable of hacking into computers and software, creating and deleting Trojans, and even creates spikes, USB’s and data chips to give to people. Technically, this is illegal. Despite what the upstanding citizen may think of him, he does have a great deal of morals and he does his best to abide by them. He has managed to go this many years without harming someone again, after all.

Outward Personality: Generally analytical and serious in his work place, he is oblivious to the world around him, nothing but pure concentration channeling into whatever he is doing. His intellect practically radiating off of him as his fingers blindingly zip around the keyboard of his computer. In this train of thought, he has an air of authority that he could never achieve on his own consciously. Almost as an alter-ego of his real self, while he's around company, he comes off as the sweetest and most thoughtful gentleman, which contrasts with the way he dresses. If young people are in danger, kids, even, he'll do what he can to help without ceasing. He becomes slightly more hesitant if there's actually someone or something threatening them.

Hobbies/Skills: Program, hack, repair, update, et cetera. If it's a computer, he can do almost anything with it.

History/Bio: Well, he was brought up in Canada until he was five, and then they moved to Boston where he stayed until he was six. That is when the bees started to follow him everywhere and burrow in his skin and turn him into a freak show. He was then a homeless, disowned child hiding back in the alleys where people (namely other kids) would throws rocks at him. When he moved into old or abandoned buildings, it was a matter of time until a cop found him and sprayed him with pepper spray. He has never had it easy, honestly, and Damon was once on the run from law enforcement because of: a. his mutant status, and b. a run in he had a long time ago. An accident occurred three years ago that involved the maiming and eventual death of a man that jumped him in a back alley once. Damon snapped, and the screaming that came afterward prompted an emergency call from a bystander. Which is the one memory that haunts him to this day.

When he was younger though, he was already pretty damn good with technology. When he was orphaned, he happened across a sociologist trying to emulate the Indian Hole in the Wall study, and there were computers outside the building. He would, at night, sneak out when no other kids or other homeless people were around and study the computers carefully. Over time, he got better; and he liked it. It brought some hope to his bleak world, and after years when by, he learned how to bypass most of the systems and firewalls. He learned the shortcuts and how to upgrade its capabilities. By the time he started getting chased, he had accumulated enough knowledge to steal a fancy computer from a store and a wifi router and upgrade them himself when he found time to obtain the parts. He hacked sites and made trojans and spikes for people in exchange for payment for almost two years and then the Othergrounds found him and took him in where he was given a place to work in one of the control rooms. He finally managed to adjust himself properly, and it looked like his life was finally turning around. Until the lights went out.

Abilities

Power: Damon is a living hive. Africanized bees infest his body, unbeknownst to the people around him. Inside of him are what could be hundreds upon thousands of bees, and they’re even crawling about in his clothes, which are the cause of the holes his clothes that he has tried desperately to replace, but new holes keep being torn open to allow easy access. He has since given up. It’s also the reason why he wears so much clothing in the first place, and covers his skin. Littered upon his body are holes. It’s like an underground system, from within his abdomen, his legs, his back, his arms, and even in the palms of his hands. The bees, since their initial occupancy, have ravaged much of the internal organs of Damon’s body to point of non-functionality. What remains is his digestive system, respiration system, most of his circulatory system (which damaged much of his nervous system), and his head remains free of infestation. His reproduction system (due to the bees inhabiting most of the abdomen) has been damaged to the point that any actual reproduction would be impossible.

Damon has, to the slightest extent, extrasensory or telepathic abilities that allow him control over the insects that dwells within his body. The bees follow every one of his demands like a mindless robot, like pawns on a chess board. He also releases a specific pheromone that appeals to bees in the surrounding vicinity and lures them to him, and it also negates the pheromone that the queen bee has that keeps other female bees from reproducing. So, if allowed, he could be surrounded by a mass of writhing bugs with pointy stingers of colossal size. However, that would increase the rate of physical and mental deterioration. The fewer bugs he keeps occupied inside him, the means of self-defense decreases, but his humanity would be preserved a little longer. The more he has, his means of self-defense if astronomical, but his humanity would deteriorate faster. So it would only be a matter of time until he “dies” before he completely cracks and goes insane.

Since he is full of bees, he can adopt certain properties of them. Insects have natural strength in comparison to size, so he could be a little stronger. He could command them to hoist him into the air and allow him to fly. If he wanted to, and I doubt he does, he could shoot a stream of bees at the landing skids of a helicopter and send it crashing into the ground (reference). So, depending on the situation, he is capable of being a badass. Obviously, this ability is a mixed bag. A big down side is that, like said before, his body and mind is deteriorating. Body is obvious, with those holes in his body and all. The bees, at a certain point, planted themselves along the central nervous system and at the very edge of the brain stem. Think really hard about what that might turn into. Although he practically has complete control, there are some, incidents, so to speak, that can occur. A great deal of stress and anger can cause him to crack just a bit and make him go batshit for a minute or so. Any means of telepathy or mind reading also upsets the bees in the body which generates stress on Damon as well. So psychic powers can make him crack as well. Although this protects him from mind reading and telepathy to some extent, it is an uncomfortable experience that everyone would wish to avoid.

He also has very minor regenerative abilities. Bees have been known to cook surrounding wasps alive by surrounding them and raising their temperature. Using this natural ability, Damon can slightly cauterize wounds and kill off very minor infections.

Weaknesses: Well for one, they're bees. Grab a flamethrower or something. But aside from the obvious, Damon does suffer from gradual mental and physical deterioration.

Other: When he snaps and Lieo takes over, his physical prowess is notably more significant. This is because Lieo uses much less restraint than Damon.

Name: Jackson Alexander Kelson
Nickname/Alias: Jack
Gender: male
Age: 18
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 143 lbs


Appearance

Hair Color: light brown with a few dark brown strands of hair here and there
Eye Color: brown, but he likes to wear red contacts for some weird reason
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Physical Appearance: Jack is average for a guy his age, with a tan from hanging around outside.  His hair usually hangs in his face in front of his eyes and sticks out in different directions.  Even though Jack has light brown eyes, he likes to wear red contacts to confuse people.  He finds it entertaining when people judge others with looks.  He is a little muscular, but it’s hard to tell with the clothing he wears.  Jack has a few freckles on his arms and a couple on his legs and neck, but none on his face.  Jack has a scar on his arm that was created when he was around eight.  Pretty much Jack had poked the neighbor’s dog one-too-many times so he had received a little “prize” for his efforts, courtesy of the dog.  Jack is usually seen with a smirk on his face.
Attire:  Jack is someone who loves to confuse and trick people, and so he wears different things that would make people quickly assume things about him.  As I mentioned earlier, Jack has red contacts.  He wears them on a regular basis in attempt to try to make people think he’s a Meta human (and he is).  He also wears a dog tag necklace.  On one side is a lightning bolt sign, and on the other side of the necklace is his name and date of birth.  He wears a black leather jacket with some red fur around the collar.  He wears the jacket unzipped usually with a white shirt underneath it.  Jack also wears different army pants.  Some camouflaged, dark green ones, pretty much any that looks like it’s from the army.  He tucks in the pants to his boots- combat boots, of course- and thus completes his “outfit.”  No, Jackson is not from the army- and he probably will never join it- he just likes to confuse and trick people.  

Personality

Innate Personality:  Jack thinks like any normal guy his age- trying to flirt with random girls, hanging with his buddies, all that junk- except his mind is more lenient to trickery then others.  He enjoys seeing people disorderly or surprised.  Seeing someone like that is basically what he lives for.
Outward Personality:  Though he might not think some things are that amusing at times, Jack is almost always seen with a smirk on his face.  It’s obvious that he doesn’t take many things seriously, and many find that trait he has annoying.  He is often times seen looking like he is just waiting for the perfect moment to set a prank. Overall, he acts immature.

Hobbies/Interests: Pranks, tricks, etc. He also plays a few video games, but prefers socializing with several people.  He is also into a few sports- soccer, mostly- and goes to the park every now and then to practice.
Skills/Talents: I don’t know how many times I need to stress this- trickery! Jack is good at tricking people!  Though he may be seen with a smirk on his face a lot, he could be feeling anger or sadness or any other feeling.  He is usually happy, though.  Also, Jack is good at soccer, considering he does it during his free time at times.  He is good at finding things to talk about, but people at times find his inability to take things serious annoying.

Goals: Jack’s main driving force is probably just wanting to get in on the action.  If he sees anything big going on- a fight, some drama, anything- he wants to be near it just to say, “hay, dude, I was there.” Pretty idiotic actions, if you ask me, but that’s the way he is.
History/Bio: Jack was around 14 when his mom married Faith’s dad.  (He’s three years older than Faith so it was only about a year after Faith’s mom divorced her dad.)   He, his mom, and sister moved in with his new step dad.  Jack had always had a problem of misbehaving and not listening to his mom, so it really ticked her and Jack’s new dad off.  Eventually the last straw was pulled when Jack did a prank that landed his step dad in the hospital.  After a quick call by the step dad to his ex-wife, Jack was sent to Black Falls to live with a woman he barely knows and her daughter (Faith).  He stayed there for a month, annoying the heck outta them before returning home and is now in the othergrounds.

Favorite color:

Prized Possession:  Jack doesn’t have many “prized possessions” but he is fond of his dog tag necklace.  Though it wouldn’t leave him heartbroken if he were to lose it, he just enjoys wearing it.  He thinks that if people were to put together his “red” eyes, along with the lightning bolt on the necklace, they would think he could control lightning or something.  The thought amuses him and so he wears the necklace solely for that.


Relationships

Family:
Mom: alive (close, though he annoys her a lot)
Dad: alive (calls him every now and then)
Step mom: alive (with his dad- they never really talk)
Sister: alive (they are just like any sibling duo- disagreements, annoying, yet still love each other ;3)
Step-siblings: (Faith, I guess?) alive, of course (but they don’t really know each other and probably won’t get along being complete opposites)
Grandmother (mom’s side): alive (they get along okay, but don’t talk very often)
Grandfather (mom’s side): deceased
Grandmother (dad’s side): alive (same)
Grandfather (dad’s side): alive (same)
Friends: Jack hangs out with random people, though since he only JUST arrived at Black Fall he doesn’t know anyone very much. Well, he might get to know the girl at the gas station across town considering he gave her his number.  How he is able to be so sociable yet look so unusual is still a mystery……
Enemies: people who can’t take a joke
Lovers: Jack’s had a few girlfriends, crushes, etc. None at the moment, though.
Marital Status: available

Power Class: anatomical/biological, cerebral

Power: Jack’s power is of deceiving others. He can make people believe that one thing is actually another. It can only look like something relating to the person’s emotions, though- If Jack wanted the person embarrassed, the object will look like whatever embarrasses the person. If he wishes for the person to be scared, whatever the person is scared of will be what the object looks like. Simple, no?

Blah I know it's confusing.  Just ask if you don't understand

Weaknesses: There are several draw backs of Jack’s ability. He can only use his ability on one person at a time, so if he were to be fooling one person with his trickery, other people would still be seeing the normal scene. (he makes a person think a chair is their biggest fear, which may be a spider, other people still see a chair) Also, for Jack to be able to use his ability, he must be within about fifteen feet of the area he wants to use the ability on. Also, though the scene Jack creates is relating to emotions, Jack also can’t see what the object turns into- it is only seen by the person he is using the ability on. Jack can’t use his ability on nothing but air, also. The object he is using the deceit ability on must be something you can touch- it can be anything from himself to a chair that he uses the ability on.

Burst Potential: Alpha burst

Basic Information

Name: Luciana Rojas

Nicknames: "Luce", La Cordera

Gender: Female

Age: 23

Height: 5'8

Weight: 135

Appearance

Hair Color: Dark brown.

Eye Color: Brown.

Nationality: Columbian

Physical Appearance:

She's one of those types who may as well hang a sign around her neck that says, "Trouble's here". Luciana is drop-dead gorgeous, albeit she doesn't receive as much male attention as she did before she lost her eye. The black eyepatch and the scar that barely peeks out from underneath it permanently cover her left eye, which means she gets through those vision charts at the doctor's in half the time as normal people!

Luciana's a handful. She's equally likely to flash a dazzling, killer smile at someone, or sway her curved hips a little more than is necessary when walking as she is to stay cold and aloof, issuing only a grunt in acknowledgement of someone's presence. She carries a certain hardness to her: she's headstrong and independent, and it shows in her mannerisms and appearance. Luce wears a small golden rosary, which is perhaps the last vestige of her faith, but normally doesn't dress too stylishly. Her wardrobe choices lean more towards practical than fashionable, although she's at least unique. For her stay at the Othergrounds, she'll be rocking a flannel shirt beneath her vaquero-style jacket (vaquero-style is inaccurate: it's the real thing) and, to top off the look, a handkerchief tied around her neck (apt to be lifted up over her face during a fight). She's fond of a desperado hat, deep brown and weathered from the years. She normally wears jeans, a heavy gunbelt, and boots that have walked and ridden just as many miles as they have kicked asses. Luciana's not familiar with the term "concealed carry" and tends to carry her armament rather blatantly, which, on the one hand, serves as a great deterrent, but also tends to reveal her hand, so to speak. Luciana's pretty, if a bit off-setting to most with the eyepatch and the cowboy get-up (which, most come to realize, isn't exactly a get-up). She tends to scowl when alone, but usually puts on a contented smirk or overly-cheery grin in public.

Personality

Innate Personality: Todos estos personas son tontos.

Outward Personality: Luce is flirty, snarky, and jovial, but beneath it all, she's cold. Luce was not benefited with the privileged upbringing of most of the cast of the Othergrounds, and it shows in her diplomatic skills. She's used to playing hardball and treating paranoia as a natural mechanism for making it through the day, so she's a bit out of place in some social settings, and is likely to cause tension within in the group. However, she's got a sense of honor, and tends to stick true to her word if given, but she's just as apt to double-cross someone or try and wriggle free through a technicality. Ultimately, she's watching out for herself (and, indirectly, her brother), and anyone who gets in the way of that goal is merely an obstacle to be overcome-or removed. Such is her outlook on life, and it will continue to be her outlook until she reaches an obstacle she can't overcome or remove.

Hobbies/Skills: She's a great horseback rider and a crack shot. Additionally, she's skilled at hablaing the Espanol, and is doing alright with English after a few years of dealing with it. Luce has done her fair share of illegal CENSORED, and knows her way around drugs, liquor, lockpicking, cigarettes, and how to deal with criminal types. Additionally, she's good at thinking tactically and makes up for a lack of formal education with her conniving nature and untrained wit

History/Bio: Here are the broad strokes: the emergence of metahumans in less developed places, such as Africa, the nastier, gang-ridden places of South America, had a far different reaction than places like the US or Europe. Some of the militias in Africa weren't above using children before, and children that could control fire or call down thunder were merely an added bonus. Likewise, Luciana's early childhood was spent on her family's ranch, but when financial catastrophe forced Luce and her father into less-than-reputable lines of work to cover loose ends, she started putting her natural gifts-all of them-to good use. Through means she's not entirely sure of, she's wound up at the Othergrounds, and plans on busting out and getting clear of the US before the DEA or similar organizations catch up with her. How exciting. Shame I can't write normal characters. They're all traumatized CENSORED-ups.

Favorite color: None.


Abilities

Power Class: Super System, Energy

Power:

First, Luce can control centripetal, centrifugal, and "rotational" energy (I didn't have a good grade in Physics, so cut me some slack with the science behind this). This mostly manifests in her ability to control anything that spins or follows a curved path: she can amplify the force behind it, accelerate it, etc. For example, were she on a loop-de-loop roller coaster, she could make that CENSORED go at a couple thousand miles per hour if needed, or if she were, say, firing a gun, she could cause the spin of the bullet to alter its trajectory wildly. She normally employs this in the form of superhuman accuracy with her firearms, empowering her bullets to out-spin silly things like gravity and lead time. Her usage of these forces will defy logic/scientific explanation, because I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. She could, for example, cause bullets to spin far faster than normal, throwing off their path, or amplify the force behind a primitive sling to crush a brick wall.

Second, Luce has killer reflexes. Just to play off the theme going with her powers already, let's say it's because her eyes can "flip" the image from upside-down to right-side up waaaay faster than normal people. Actually, no, we're not gonna say that, that's bullshit. Regardless, she's a quick draw, and moves with incredible agility and dexterity.

Finally, and this is not a true power in the sense of it being from a metahuman source, Luce is skilled. She's been working with cartels for quite some time now, and such a line of work tends to separate the wheat from the chaff. Luce, while denied things like literacy beyond the basics, schooling past middle school, and the healthy psyche of a normal child, did learn how to survive.

Weaknesses:

No depth perception. No peripheral vision on her left side. Poor literacy skills in Spanish and literally none in English, she only knows how to speak it. Furthermore, she doesn't have the best people skills, and may be psychologically traumatized a little. As far as her power goes, she gets vertigo from excessive use of her powers and, well, her power is pretty situational. I can impose more weaknesses if necessary, but I'm struggling to find one that comes to mind.

Burst Potential: Alpha, Zeta, Theta

Other: Ella es La Cordera. Might be able to help with Drake's nicotine deprivation. Her belongings, presumably confiscated when she was taken to the Othergrounds, consist of: two Colt Single Action Armies, chambered for .45 L, a rag and some oil for cleaning them, a bandolier with sixty (+12) rounds, a wickedly sharp knife, her hat, a few packs of cigarettes and a lighter, and probably various quantities of illegal drugs. She was returning home alone from a job when her memory gets fuzzy, and she awoke in the Othergrounds. Also, I'm aware of the fact she seems like a walking stereotype right now, I plan on having her depths explored (oh that was a poor choice of words) as the RP progresses. So, uh, any Columbian drug traffickers reading this, we cool.

Basic Information

Name: Seth
Nicknames: N/A
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 179 lbs

Appearance

Hair Color: Dark brown
Eye Color: Green
Nationality: Caucasian

Physical Appearance: Seth is taller than average, and has an athletic build. He keeps his hair cropped short and gelled back in a stylish manner and well kept stubble covering the lower half of his face. His ears slightly undersized and close to his head. He has bushy, but under control brows; and keen emerald irises. His nose is large, but not unproportionate to his lips. There are no telltale marks such as scars, tattoos, piercings or birthmarks to be found anywhere on Seth's body.

Attire: Seth shuns lab coats, and always dresses smart casual unless otherwise required. His most common outfits feature slacks or jeans topped off with a slightly unbuttoned dress shirt and undershirt. The typical business colors of black, white, grey and navy blue are always primary in clothes. Sunglasses and a watch of exceptional quality are common additions. He will never be seen wearing anything that encumbers him in any way or makes him stand out if he can avoid it.

Personality

Outward Personality: Seth is very charismatic and professional in his demeanor. Nothing seems to shake him and he seems to know what to do in every situation. He is knowledgeable in many regards, but he has a hard time not sounding like a textbook. This leads him to hold his tongue many times for sake of being approachable. He is a strong advocate for unity who acknowledges that rules will have to be broken to survive this crisis, but tries to avoid bloodshed.

Hobbies/Skills: Seth has a knack for anything technical. He spends his spare time do hands on work, reading and surfing the net.
History/Bio: Seth's talents lead him to be recruited before he even had an official doctorate. He observes and works with mutants that need special attention.

Weight: 120 lbs



Appearance

Hair Color: Auburn with purple highlights
Eye Color: Blue grey
Nationality: Caucasian
Physical Appearance: Cait is a small and fragile looking girl. She has a punk vibe, but a completely nonthreatening one. More like a shy girl based on the constant anxiety she displays. Her hair is straight, just past ear length and combed completely off to one side. the other side is shaved and devoid of hair (it's a dieselpunk style). She has big curious eyes and long lashes. Her other facial features are small and she has a bar through her left ear, and a ring in the right side of her top lip. It appears that she had a nose ring, but it was ripped out and is still healing. Across her body she has several minor bruises, cuts and burns.

Basic Information

Name: Cassidy Isabella Rivest
Nicknames: Lemontea
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Height: 5'8
Weight: 138 pounds


Appearance

Hair Color: Bright Blonde
Eye Color: Grey
Nationality: Caucasian (Irish)
Physical Appearance: Lemontea is that kind of person who just has the appearance of someone broken or incredibly shady. Years ago, Cassidy - or Lemontea, was a small and collected young girl that was considered sweet by her family (hence her name). Years later; after she had manifested her abilities things changed fast. She carries on the trend of looking like her mother did when she was her age. She stands at 5'8 feet tall, weighing 138 pounds. Since she's been on the run for a few years keeping her distance for a few years, she doesn't exactly have the healthy physique that she should have. Nope, she's pretty sickly with pale skin and a skin and bones build. She's Caucasian of Irish descents with the aforementioned pale skin. Lemontea has distinct, brightly colored blonde hair that's usually concealed under her hoodie. Some of her hair is brushed over her forehead. There’s a light spattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose and upper cheeks. Her face is fairly rounded and gets narrow going down to her chin area, and she has a small and hard to notice cleft chin. Lemontea has a rounded face, which can be considered pudgy.  Her cheeks are very rounded and her cheekbones stick out a little bit. The bridge of her nose is very small, and her nostrils are very large and wide. She might be considered pretty if she didn't have ugly scarring starting from the right side of her neck and up her face in the form of what would appear to be thin claws. Three of the 'claw points' go fully across her face; the bottom one across her lip and teeth, the middle across the bridge of her nose to just under her left eye, and the top over her right brow. It's from a "previous" incident.

Attire: Lemontea doesn't dress very well. As she only has the clothes that she took when she left - carried around in a large black book bag that hangs off her back. I'll describe her outfits IC-side. Lemontea usually wears a hoodie.

Personality


Hobbies/Skills: As it was heavily rammed down you, the reader's throat; she lives her life traveling from city to city on the run (until she settled in the Othergrounds) since an incident years back. She's been on the run for two years now and has picked up many survival and self sufficient skills which allowed her to live. While she doesn't like to admit it, she also has some illegal skills such as knowing how to hot wire a car (taught to her by a friend), pick pocketing, and pick a lock. Lemontea is very good at sneaking around the school, and knows the place very well. She also knows plenty of hiding spots around the school grounds. Lemontea also knows her way around a gun, and can draw and shoot a pistol pretty quickly.

Favorite color:


Abilities

Power Class: Power

Power: This power is inspired by One Piece. At will, Lemontea can protect a round field around herself that weakens the abilities of other Meta-humans. This field gives off a wavelength that interferes and ultimately weakens the abilities of whatever meta-human is inside of the field. It doesn't work instantly; as long as a meta-human is inside the field their powers will get weaker and weaker. How they weaken depends on the classes and type of power. Powers that are activated (such as elemental powers, super-system powers or transformations) will have far less strength behind their abilities until it's useless. Passive powers (such as enhanced senses) will also be weakened until uselessness. Inside the field Lemontea's field has also has the ability to weaken attack that enter the field, such a bolt of lightning will be a quarter of it's original strength once it enters her field. While she or anyone else is in the field they'll be immune to most cerebral (their minds won't be able to be read) and extra-sensory powers (they simply will be immune to it). This field also makes it hard for those with super senses to sense whatever is inside of the field. Lemontea can immediately weaken a meta-human's power to minimum immediately just by touching them with them with bare flesh. This ability also allows her to bypass things such as a force field by walking into it or another meta-human intangibility just by touching them. This ability gives Lemontea an edge when facing other Meta-humans.

Lemontea can also fire blasts of this Meta-human interfering energy. Which will weaken powers more and more as she fires them at foes. Lemontea can also, at will, put up a barrier that will keep Cerebral-types out of her head.

Weaknesses: Naturally, the first weakness is that it only affects people inside of the field, or affected by her energy. People outside are completely safe, and all someone has to do is get out of the field before their abilities go back to normal. Lemontea's field has difficulty weakening Bursts, since they are extremely powerful and will overload her field. Making it useless against a mighty Burst. Easily the biggest weakness is that she can only affect meta-human abilities, unless the user needs their ability to survive, no harm can come to them through her ability. Anyone with weakened abilities will still be able to walk up and punch her in the face and/or beat her down. Her field cannot make people who have permanent physical mutations lose them and revert back to their normal human form (For Example; it probably won't make Nicole lose her bird wings) without a Burst, that is. While it may not be a weakness, some Meta-humans are unhindered or completely immune to her power because of the nature of their power.

Burst Potential: Delta, Alpha, and Theta

Name: Anastasia Krol
Nicknames: The Nightingale
Gender: Female
Age: 29
Height: 5'7
Weight: 110



Appearance

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Icy Blue
Nationality: Eastern European
Physical Appearance:

The Nightingale is an interesting contradiction when it comes to appearances: she's both physically unimposing, and yet gives off a very intimidating aura. She may be a featherweight, but Anastasia can damn well hold her own against opponents several weight classes above her-as several misbehaving students have found out. Anastasia is slender and lean, possessing the type of build you'd see on a dancer or gymnast (fitting, given that she spent some time as both). She moves gracefully and absolutely silently, feet falling in a perfect rhythm. Her movements are deceptively quick, and she tends to go unnoticed unless she draws attention to herself. Her face is pale and, well, rather pretty, although normally covered up by a mask. The few students who have seen her without the mask on (or in her borderline-spandex suit) enjoy making snide comments to her; she enjoys putting them in armlocks until they loudly announce they were totally kidding and it will never happen again ow ow ow

Anastasia typically keeps her hair in a no-nonsense ponytail, hanging back behind her head, or occasionally lets it fall lazily around her shoulders. She doesn't bother much with appearances-one, she spends most of her time in full combat gear, and two, she doesn't seem particularly interested in appearances, or social conventions in general. She doesn't talk much with the other faculty members, but she does enjoy the company of the Eyes, for some reason. Her lips are typically chapped from many hours out in the cold, and occasionally bleeding from where she habitually bites them to pass the time while on the clock tower or patrolling the fences.

Attire:

The Nightingale's suit puts Solid Snake to shame. Her gear is perhaps a power in and of itself, given that the Nightingale wears her armor like a second skin. A deep purple, the Nightingale's suit resembles a blend between a ninja's sneaking garb, a spec ops soldiers' ensemble, and the protection a police officer going into a riot would wear. Kevlar weave, ceramic plated patches cover vital areas, and the suit is designed to lessen the impact of blunt impact and be resistant to blades or bullets. Of course, ideally, the Nightingale never gets shot at or stabbed in the first place. Furthermore, a holster and sling hold her various weapons, and the utility belt on her waist and the rig stretching up to her shoulders holds spare magazines, knives, flashbangs, first aid gear, and several other useful items: all of which she's had plenty of time to stockpile from her time in the armory.

Personality

Outward Personality: ....
Hobbies/Skills: She enjoys whittling, writing music, spending time with animals, photography, poetry, and archery. As far as skills go, the Nightingale is a very skilled markswoman, with techniques and form suggesting formal training. Furthermore, she fights in a very brutal, efficient manner that martial arts afficionados would recognize as some of the advanced forms of krav maga, making her a potent threat up close as well-superpowered or no, the human body still has a few very exploitable weaknesses. She's also very skilled at infiltration, bodyguarding, and tactical thinking: hence her role as the school's security guard. Additionally, she was a skilled gymnast and dancer for some time, which doesn't sound terribly useful in this RP, but her flexibility and discipline aren't to be discounted.
History/Bio: No one's entirely sure. Her skill set and mannerisms suggest some form of military training, but the songs she's written also imply some kind of musical background. Not to mention her martial arts prowess hints towards several years minimum in a dojo. She's definitely enigmatic, and rumors circle about her, although very different ones from the faculty and the (male) student body.

Abilities

Power Class: Other

Power:

The Nightingale has several powers which, frankly, aren't really related to each other.

Firstly, she's capable of discharging needles from her body. These needles are made of some form of metal, no one's entirely sure what kind. She fires these needles at rather disproportionate speeds from her palms, and can "spike out" from any point on her body-say you grabbed her from behind, you might find a rather sharp pain as she turned into a human porcupine. Of course, when wearing her suit, this would tear it to shreds, so she prefers to keep it to her palms.

Secondly, the Nightingale has a rather curious effect on shadows and darkness. They seem to deepen when she's around, and....reach out to her. The Nightingale can do nothing so blatant as manipulate shadow or darkness *glances at Caden* but rooms she's in tend to darken subtly over time, and the shadows mask her in more ways than one. They hide her metaphorically as well as physically: her scent, her presence, her memory; when the Nightingale draws into deep shade, people are very apt to look over her, forget whom they were hunting...

Finally, the Nightingale can exude an aura of total silence. This is useful for both sneaking about, as she makes literally no sound, and is also very psychologically rattling-very few people have experienced total silence before. In fact, none of you have. There's always been some ambient noise. Total deafness being imposed upon someone who isn't suspecting it is very unnerving, and studies have found that prolonged sensory deprivation can lead to paranoia, hallucinations...all sorts of fun things. This is accentuated by the way the shadows seem to dance when Anastasia's around.

Weaknesses:

The Nightingale is mute. The Nightingale's bones also lose their strength the more she relies upon her needles; however, they heal back more quickly. Finally, the Nightingale doesn't care much for direct sunlight. It doesn't pain her or weaken her, just is very annoying. She'd rather stick to the dark hallways of the Othergrounds.
