Yeah, I was a little vague on that, sorry. Basically things like new experiences, scary people (as he perceives it), potentially dangerous situations.

@Lesley - Oh, alright. That makes a lot of sense then! I guess he'd be naturally scared of most things, considering he's never had a normal kid life, huh?

Yup, more or less. Scared little kid.

"I aM BRoKeN"
Gender
Male
Age
15
Active Abilities
He is able to influence the world around him in terms of his emotions, which are entirely random. If he were sad, it would form a cloud of rain above him, happiness would light up the area around him, anger would burn things, confusion would distort things, disgust would putrefy things, loneliness would darken the area around him, and fear would cause things to become nightmarish for him and those around him.
Passive Abilities
If you look into his eyes, your deepest, most private feelings and emotions will pour straight out of you.
Weapon(s)
A teddy bear, or rather the knife stuck in its head.
Personality
Steven is not sane, the events have cause his personality to become entirely skewed, his own emotions are a war-zone, the only comfort is the mother-like voice in his head. Susan. Steven will not trust anyone but Susan.
Weakness/Fear(s)
His lack of sanity, emotional vulnerability, and lack of trust in others, along with his fear of himself.
Special Abilities / Traits / Attributes / Quirks
Susan- the voice in his head, a mother-like personality that appears to be the remnants of his sanity, and his longing for a mother figure.

Name: Sora Mathews
Alias: Storm Song
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Abilities:
Avian physiology- She has black wings that fold nicely against her back
Weather manipulation: She can sense, create, shape and manipulate weather, ie. the meteorological patterns, creating rain, wind, hail, lightning, snow, sleet, fog and temperature changes. This includes the ability to generate various natural phenomena or control the intensity of the weather in highly concentrated (inside room) or vastly extended (continental) areas.
Musical Empethy: Her abilities are affected by the music she is listening to. For example, upbeat and fast paced music allows her to fly faster, and Beethoven's fifth makes it easier for her to build up storms. She can use her abilities without the music, but they are not as strong.
Weapon(s): none
Personality: she is quiet, timid, kind, caring, and is willing to help as long as it does not involve someone touching her or her touching someone else. She has always had a mild case of Haphephobia, but it became acute due to what had been done. Another result of the experiments was Broca's Aphasia, a disorder where it is hard for her to put together words in an understandable way.
Weakness/fears: She is afraid of being touched, spiders, snakes, and bats. Her legs are disfigured due to a skeletal deformation that she was born with. This makes it nearly impossible for her to walk, and just like she would if she could walk she gets tired when flying. Also, if she tries using her weather manipulation for too long or too often without music she will become exhausted and eventually pass out.
Special Abilities/traits/attributes/quirks: She loves to read and has an eidetic memory, so she can remember everything she has read.

"I'd ask questions, but I think we all know that I won't be getting answers."
Full Name
Alexander W. Grant
Alias(es) / Titl(es) / Nickname(s)
Is called, "Alex" by his younger brother.
Gender
Male
Age
17
Active Abilities
- Canine Physiology: An odd ability at its finest. Alexander has discovered that he has the ability to shift his arms between that of a human and that of a wolf. This gives him increased strength and sharp claws that he can use to rip his opponents to shreds. It is generally controllable at will, however, it will react if Alexander feels enraged or threatened and his emotions will do the work from there.
- Deconstruction: Considered Alexander's best "weapon". Scientifically described as: the ability to deconstruct objects down to their smallest particles, and then reconstruct them into different objects composed of the same material(s). This ability, however, lacks the second portion and for lack of a better name has been nicknamed, "deconstruction". Alexander has a difficult time holding any control over this ability and anything he touches that is not organic will always face a risk of being destroyed or at least broken in some shape, way or form.
Passive Abilities
- Visual Telepathy: Alexander has the ability to see the physical manifestation of the thoughts, feelings and on occasion, memories of others. He is currently unable to control the ability and henceforth why it is considered "passive". It often causes him to create hallucinations based on what he sees that he doesn't quite understand and sometimes, he has a difficult time determining reality from his imagination or the thoughts, memories or feelings of others and it may cause him to act out based on what he sees.
Weapon(s)
None.
Personality
Generally seen as a confused individual. Alexander suffers from a bipolar and multiple personality disorder most likely as a result of the experimentation done on him. He can be extremely passionate and caring one moment, but fierce and aggressive the next. Nobody is really sure as to which is his "true side", not even his younger brother can entirely remember. He can be quite sensitive, relaxed and social, though he is often short-spoken. When he does speak, it is usually in a witty, sarcastic or even playful manner. People tend to be naturally attracted to his personality, after all, it can be quite approachable at times. As well as predictable and despite his second personality, Alexander can act as a "leader figure" for others. He can be quite soft on others and has shown that morality and mercy will always beat out justice. As mentioned before, he is quite compassionate and seems to truly understand the value of a life. However, as mentioned, he can become a different person quite sporadically, and will quickly become confused with reality and grow instantly violent, which will cause him to lash out and attack others, even at some points, Raven; in this form, it's like he has no personality at all. In this state, he is generally seen as sadistic, harsh and heavily critical towards others. He is also prone to making offensive jokes while in this stage as well.
Weakness/Fear(s)
His own hallucinations have become something for him to fear. Next to that, something or someone harming or killing his younger brother. Despite his carefree and relaxed nature, he will cringe if others get too close to him, showing a withdrawn from human affection and overall fear for their touch. Among his natural fears comes a sense of hydrophobia and the extensive fear of extremely high heights and falling from them. He isn't too good with airplanes and flying (probably due to never really going on one) and has an immense dislike for large furry/fuzzy spiders.
Special Abilities / Traits / Attributes / Quirks
He "wears" his jacket as a blanket over his stomach when he sleeps. Though it is mainly static in his head, Alexander has admitted to enjoying a wide variety of music.
Themesong
Psycho - Puddle Of Mudd
Other
When he's in an angry and aggressive state, he is likely to forget who Raven is and attack him. It is mentioned that Alexander is the last one to awake from his coma.

Full Name
Raven E. Grant
Alias(es) / Titl(es) / Nickname(s)
None currently.
Gender
Male
Age
15
Active Abilities
- Cryokinesis: Raven's only active and controllable ability. And a powerful one at that. Raven has the ability to freeze most of his surroundings to a subzero temperature and can generally create and manipulate ice. He is able to create ice in any of the natural forms it appears such as ice spikes to snowfall, however, he is not quite skilled enough to get "crafty" with it. He is still discovering his capabilities involving ice, but he seems "like a natural" when wielding it. He has a resistance to the cold.
Passive Abilities
- Oneiric Cognition: A strange ability that allows Raven to "see" and explore the dreams of others. Of course, they have to be nearby and asleep, though the ability, on the contrary, can be used while awake or asleep. Raven is not able to control this ability and it occurs randomly for him, especially prior to the RP with the other main characters. It can cause hallucinations once in a while, but he is generally able to tell when he is exploring a dream or not.
- Precognition Another uncontrollable "passive" ability that Raven possesses. It currently only works when he is asleep and it is almost impossible to decipher from a normal dream. As the name alludes to, it enables him to see events that are due to happen in the future, usually in an extremely short time-span.
- Empathy: Far exceeds the idea of "natural empathy" or empathy from experience. This is that type of empathy, but on steroids and it cannot be switched off (or as at least as far as Raven knows). This ability activates randomly and sporadically and when it does, it allows Raven to feel the emotions of all those who are within a certain radius of him. Sometimes, it can confuse him from his own emotions and he may act out of turn of someone else's emotions instead of his own.
Weapon(s)
None.
Personality
Raven can be a distant person and is outwardly seen as timid or shy. And to an extent, this is true, however, despite his cowardice, Raven will have bursts of adrenaline and become quite reckless, especially if it involves Alexander. His moments of bravery almost always come back to bite him. He is very "in-tuned" with his abilities and is overall, highly intuitive. This makes him highly sympathetic to those around him, despite his unwillingness to show it. Raven can be seen as cold, calculating and maybe a little too serious for his own good, but he's still a child at heart and certainly acts like one at times. He also has the tendency to isolate himself and seems like a loner, but gets lonely rather quickly. He is generally reserved and quiet, but has no problem defending his morals. He can be quite selfish, especially when it involves Alexander and he admits to having a difficult time of attaching to others. He becomes nervous while put under a stressful situation and is often unable to function correctly, showing a sense of anxiety. He is good at improvising, but not thinking fast or on his feet. He does not like being the center of attention.
Weakness/Fear(s)
One of Raven's weaknesses is his lack of physical ability as he cannot perform many tasks that are physically demanding due to his weak body. He is also afraid of fire, being buried alive and other "final destination" scenarios. He has the tendency to tire and become nervous quite easily. His ultimate weakness is his desire to take care of his older brother and the fact that he can be reckless. Like his brother, he also seems to suffer from isolation and cringe at the touch of others. He is squeamish around needles and blood. He is deathly afraid of snakes.
Special Abilities / Traits / Attributes / Quirks
He no longer feels cold, but every once and while, he might wrap his arms up in reflex.

The cold never bothered him anyway.
Lucas Walker
Alias(es) / Titl(es) / Nickname(s):
N/A
Gender:
Male
Age:
19
Active Abilities:
Hyalokinesis- He can manipulate glass- However, this does not mean he can create glass, he merely controls glass. For example, he can shatter a window and shape the glass shards into flechettes, and can independently control any glass object he comes across. Another example of an application of this power- He can basically make the glass windows on a car implode, causing the glass to violently rip through the occupants inside.
Passive Abilities:
Retrocognition- Lucas can see past events, either in a room, an object, or a person, but he has to be in physical contact with the person/object first.
Weapon(s):
N/A
Personality:
Lucas is pretty close to mentally stable. Sure, he’s a bit more paranoid than one should be, but he still generally trusts people. He won’t harm someone unless they have done something of ill intent towards him. He’s very patient and calm.
However, Lucas thinks more logically than emotionally- Which is a fault as much as it is a benefit. While he can think his way out of most situations, a side effect is that he simply does not have much empathy for others. He doesn’t catch on to many facial cues, and almost never to emotional cues. He may even be apathetic at times, focusing more on the problems ahead than other peoples’ well being. What may come off as rude from others may be completely normal for Lucas, which hinders his social interactions with others.
Weakness/Fear(s):
Lucas can only manipulate glass if it is in the immediate vicinity. Without that, he is practically powerless. Even though Lucas seems uncaring towards others, he is actually very afraid of dying alone. and is also claustrophobic.
Special Abilities / Traits / Attributes / Quirks:
Enjoys learning history. Somehow the thought of having an understanding of those who came before him is appealing for Lucas.

Full Name
John G. Alexander
Alias(es) / Titl(es) / Nickname(s)
Gender
Male
Age
17
Active Abilities
Hybrid physiology- John's DNA is ninety percent human, with the other ten percent belonging to the species Bitis Gabonica, as such he boasts increased strength, incredible speed (in short bursts), a heightened sense of smell and a venomous bite
Passive Abilities
John is able to sense heat signatures through freckle like glands on his face
Weapon(s)
None
Personality
There's no getting around it; John is a sociopath who is actually physically incapable of expressing remorse or empathy, although he's quite good at faking it along with whatever other emotions are required for a situation. His experimentation has led to a rather interesting side effect where he is only truly capable of viewing people as either prey (easy to kill) or predators (threats to avoid confrontation with). It is extremely hard to figure out what he views someone as until he makes a move, likely because despite his sociopathic tendencies, he behaves in a reserved manner that could easily be mistaken for shyness.
Weakness/Fear(s)
John grows tired fairly quickly, he is also extremely susceptible to extreme heat or cold
Special Abilities / Traits / Attributes / Quirks
Much like an actual snake John has a forked tongue with his will flicker frequently, he also moves in a deliberately slow manner both to conserve energy and lull others into a false sense of security

Full Name
James Lancaster
Alias(es) / Titl(es) / Nickname(s)
Let's just say he has a few names.
Gender
Male
Age
Somewhere between 18-19
Electricity Manipulation
+ Improved Mobility: Static wall-crawling, rail riding, electrolysis or static induced flight/hovering, etc.
+ Reflex/Sensory/Healing Enhancement: Speeding up his own internal signals, or do it for your friends.
+ Internal Radar: A constant field around James that allows him to detect sources and paths of electricity, including human bodies, as well as image the room without requiring sight by releasing a wave of electricity ala echolocation.
+ Mind Reading/Empathy: Essentially the framework for the aforementioned mental hacking. Interpret neural signals to read minds and such.
N/A
Personality
Surprisingly, James lacks any sort of mental instability resulting from his seven coma. Polite and gentle, as well as jolly and easy enough to get along with. A good-hearted entertainer. All in all, he honestly seems to be a genuinely happy, well-adjusted individual at first glance, even if he isn't too expressive.
Key words: "At first glance."
Once you peer through that thin veneer of wholesome happiness and normalcy he's projected around himself, you'll see that, while he still isn't mentally unstable, he's definitely not nearly half as well-adjusted as he makes himself out to be. His two-faced mentality couldn't be called anything other than cynical and opportunistic. He holds most people in disdain and, strangely enough, has quite a lot of trust issues, despite being able to actually see whether someone's lying or not. Perhaps this stems from the fact that he himself is untrustworthy and finds it hard to deal with commitment. He is a big goddamn lying liar who lies (or an acting actor who acts, if you want to be nice. He's also a stealing stealer that steals, but that's a talk for another time) after all. It doesn't help that he's good at it too. However James isn't one of those people who lie out of malice or habit, rather, he does it out necessity and preference.
Incidentally, James finds that none of this is reason for him to be impolite.
- Focus on Utility: Due to putting his points into versatility, James combat ability.
- Spontaneous Discharge: Driving and handling objects that interact negatively with electricity is a no-no, especially under stress when stray discharge chance is at an all time high. In the same vein, don't be in the same pool as him.
- Path of Least Resistance: It's inadvisable to be around when he does attempt to use his ability for most ranged attacks.
- Sensory Sharing: Now he has two pain conduits!
- Mental Pollution: Changing your brain synapses to match the sensory input of someone else holds this risk. Shifting through the unnecessary 'garbage' information is a disadvantage as well.
- Self Preservatory Instincts: When the going gets tough, the James gets going.
- Fear of Commitment: Yup.
- Trustworthiness: Well, it's only a weakness once people figure out that he isn't.
+ Urban Exploration: Bit of a hobby of his, also provides a bit of parkour ability and helps out with the above.
= Voiced by Liam O'Brien: If that counts for anything.
= Good With Numbers: Ditto.
= Pop Culture References: As somebody who has the time and money to watch movies, check books out from the library, surf the web, and just generally be a normal human being, James is much more well-versed in the art of quoting media and current events. It seems that he'd lived a rather cushy life prior to all... this.
- Avoided by Animals: Animals with sensitivity to electromagnetic/electric waves don't like him, and even before his ability he'd never had a good affinity with the animal kingdom.
