Gender: Female
Age: 16
Height: 5'5"
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.



Personality

Hobbies/Skills: She's a stasis escapee, so not much anymore. Good at hiding and likes to dance, but that's about it. She will mention her old hobbies IC.

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.

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

Other:

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.
