Basic Information

Name: Seth Maxwell
Nickname/Alias/Etc:
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 157 lbs
Status: New teacher, has been at the academy for roughly a month

Appearance

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Amber
Ethnicity: Caucasian American

Physical Appearance: Seth has a tall, lanky build with an diamond shaped head. His forehead is large and his facial bones prominent. He keeps his hair relatively long with locks reaching his cheeks and the base of his neck. Gel is used to keep his bangs out of the way, and the top of his hair is slicked off to either side. His brows are manicured to be slender and under control. They roughly twice the width of his thin, almond shaped eyes. He has a tall, short, and slender nose with a slight hook to it. His ears are somewhat undersized, and lay rather close to his head. He has slim, wide lips and well cleaned teeth. Any crookedness they once had has been since corrected. His jawline is steep and narrow, and he has a tall chin that is long and pointed. Seth keeps very close to razor and is never seen anything other than clean shaven. He is a bit on the pale side and doesn't tan very well. There’s more scars on his body than one might expect from the way he presents himself. Overall Seth has sort of a slimy look about him, he is often compared to a hawk or vulture. An unsettling, hungering expression is often displayed absentmindedly when his attention is fixated on something.

Attire: Seth always dresses at least smart casual unless otherwise required. His most common outfits feature slacks or dark colored jeans, topped off with a slightly unbuttoned dress shirt with or without an undershirt. He has also has a suit for every occasion. A tuxedo with coattails is his favorite style. The typical business colors of black, white, grey and navy blue are always dominant in his clothes. Black horn rimmed glasses (he doesn't actually need them) and a titanium watch of exceptional quality are almost always additions. He will never be seen wearing anything that encumbers him in any way or makes him stand out if he can avoid it. This could mean lowering his standards.

Personality

Outward & Innate Personality: Seth is very charismatic and professional in his demeanor. Aside from that his personality varies greatly depending on the circumstances. He orients his mannerisms in a way which is going to mostly likely give him favorable results with those in the vicinity. This is seldom anything other than information. However, he is a skilled manipulator and is able to data mine as a part of casual conversation. Which sometimes it is just that if what he’s trying to discover isn't through dialogue. In those cases he likely won't seem like he's paying attention even if he really is. Situations like this force him to weigh the others change in perception versus missing out on an opportunity to learn. Sudden and rash behavior can throw him off guard, he tends avoid people that act in such fashions. Though he recognizes the value of allies and tries to make as many as he can without disrupting prior, more important relationships. However, he doesn't take rejection likely and will push the issue until he gets the desire result. Seth experiences emotions like anyone else, but most of the ones he displays are fake. Of course he's the most convincing when he truly feels a certain way about something. Underlying all of his decisions, even seemly impulsive ones, is some level of logic.

Deep down he feels alienated from other people because they are oblivious to what comes so naturally to him. In the past whenever he's tried at some point what he was saying started to go over their head. This results in him having a standoffish nature when told he is wrong about something. He considers it beneath him to debate matters of which he is certain. If he is indeed mistaken he will most likely harbor resentment for the person. Especially if they rub it in. Repeated cases will cause him to snap and forget the impressions he was trying to instill, letting others know his true opinions on matters. For better or worse. Sometimes he lets on to the fact he knows much more than he lets onto. Part of the reason he tries to avoid talking about detailed matters with people he doesn't know. One of his biggest pet peeves is inefficiency, and he has to struggle to hide his distaste whenever somebody decides to take the longer harder route. Whether or not they are aware is irrelevant. Overall he’s very unpredictable, but he can be generally counted on to never use harsh language, to fulfill his duties as a staff member, and to try not to let anyone catch on to the true extent of his ability. Seth has extreme claustrophobia, and fear of things like the dark and fog. Being forced to endure these situations cripples his nerve entirely.

Hobbies/Interests: Seth’s research and field work occupy the vast majority of his free time, when he’s not with others that is. He is also into intellectual actives such as reading and watching documentaries. Cooking is something he thoroughly enjoys, and he finds most non-classical music distasteful. Knowing the importance of exercise he has made a habit of getting in a daily workout.

Skills/Talents: Seth has always had a sharp intellect, keen perception, and photographic memory. However, since his power manifested he has acquired vast repertoire of information, and thus skills that would engulf my sheet were I list them all. Things that require knowledge over physical ability he excels at. One of the more notable things is that he his multilingual between English, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Latin. He knows tidbits of other languages as well.

Prized Possession: His notebooks.

Quote(s): Seth would prefer to quote another great mind rather than come up with one himself. One of his favorites is “If the human brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't” -Emerson M. Pugh

History/Bio: Seth was raised in a modest household for his early life. When his power manifested at age nine he suddenly started getting perfect scores on tests and being able to go into subjects at college level and beyond. All by only being giving an introduction to the curriculum. It took a while for his vocabulary to catch up, but the knowledge was there. He went on to have what many would call and ideal life full of luxury, but he was never satisfied. No matter how much money he made, the things he learned and discovered, there was always more out there. And there always would be. When contacted by the academy he was thrilled at the opportunity to his talents to good use and further his goal of understanding one of the biggest mysteries of all. The meta-human phenomenon.

Family: Son of James and Mary Maxwell, has a little sister named Laura.

Relationships

Adam Blackmoore | Neutral | Fellow Power Instructor | "Can't say I've ever had the experience of sizing up another's power and seeing that they are doing the same. Things here are going to be a lot more interesting. Otherwise he's a very sensible man, and I think we'll get along nicely."

Henry Ollin | Neutral | Fellow Teacher | "I never thought that one with such a drastic mutation would be a teacher. He seems perfectly capable though, in fact he's quite educated. We will have to discuss biology at some point."

Annabella Ravencroft | Neutral | Fellow Power Instructor | "She's a very good actress, I'll giver her that. If we get to chatting I'll see about unraveling her true self."

Vespera Spindel | Neutral | Spider Child | "A curiosity. Living as a human, thinking as a hybrid creature. Her window to be habilitated has long since past, a shame considering the resources that must have been spent on her. We only had one session, but she'll come to me for answers. I'm certain of it."

Abilities

Power Class: Cerebral/Extra-Sensory/Other 8

Power: Seth has intuitive aptitude, a relatively simple information ability with vast potential. This makes the bearer quickly learn and understand the complexity and exactness of organisms (including himself), objects, systems, or even concepts without need of long term or special education. Essentially unparalleled comprehension of his environment. He could flip through a text book and learn everything it had to offer. Glance at stock market trends and know how to invest to make the most money. Bring him a broken object and he’ll know how to fix it. When he picks up a tool he knows how to use it in it's entirety. Have him look over a patient and he’ll be able to tell anything and everything that is off in their body. The presence, purpose, and potential of others powers in use are apparent to him. As he listens to somebody speaking a different language he would learn the dialect. Social dynamics come instinctively, and body language is an open book to Seth. Thus, he is as close as it gets to being a human lie detector without having an ability that says definitively whether somebody is or not. Somebody trying to read his mind would doubtfully be able process the sheer amount of data he receives at any given moment.

Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Seth is restricted to understanding data he is presently taking in with his senses, or has in the past. He can’t read minds or anything like that. If the information couldn't be physically ascertained from immediate environment, his power won't grant him understanding of it. So while he can understand any language as it's presented to him, he wouldn't have knowledge of words he hasn't been exposed to yet. Something simply being named or mentioned vaguely wouldn't allow him to comprehend it. He couldn't learn about something by talking to somebody, unless they themselves have some knowledge in the area, and choose to disclose in detail. That is if they are to be trusted at their word, as Seth's power isn't immune to data corruption. A falsified, out of date, or otherwise inaccurate document for example could give false understanding. When presented with so much information he couldn't hope to retain all of it, or know everything that is going on at once. He has to choose what to focus on decide what is important enough to commit to memory. Just because he has looked something over in the past doesn't mean that he is going to be able to spout information about it, unless he considered it relevant to him at the time. When attempting to replicate physical feats he is limited by his body. For example he knows martial arts, but if he tries to bust out a move like a professional he's likely to strain himself. Trying to take in too much at once, or if he isn't prepared to adjust his focus in light of new conditions, causes Seth sensory overload. Symptoms range from headaches and migraines, to crowding out his own thoughts and processes. This causes him to shut down and become unresponsive. Depriving him of his senses, especially sight, inhibits or negates his power. He is so used to be being bombarded constantly that when cut of from his senses, introduced to tight or dark spaces, and other places without much going on he gets severe cases of sensory deprivation. This results in anxiety, hallucinations, erratic thoughts, and depression.

Basic Information

Name: Paige Wilson
Nickname/Alias/Etc: None currently
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 110 pounds
Status: New Student

Appearance

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Ethnicity: Caucasian (American)

Physical Appearance:
Paige is a girl with black hair that falls to just beneath her shoulder blades, green eyes that are just a bit too big, and full lips that always seem on the verge of a pout, all complementing a heart shaped face with soft features and a fair complexion. Her figure is somewhere between slender and curvy, though leaning a bit more towards the former with the toned muscles of a gymnast. While her body itself bears no scars, thanks to her ability, her muscles and bones were conditioned by wooden bats and leather boots, giving her a solid frame that is firm to the touch, rather than the softness one might expect from a seventeen year-old girl. Her large eyes are wary, always looking for the next threat even when she tries to hide it, and her hands will often wander to her elbows when left idle, as though she wants to curl up inside herself. Looking people in the eyes is still strange to her, and her gaze normally wanders over the ground and objects around her, landing only briefly on the people she's with, and then only when necessary.

Attire:
Strongly gothic most of the time, lots of black and dark brown and leather. Miniskirts, thigh-high stockings and boots, corsets, jackets, and studded belts. She likes clothes that fit her perception of the world, a dark and cold and dangerous place. She can't stand bright colors and rainbow patterns, the kind of things you'd find on sundresses and the like. To her, the world has never been bright and cheery, so why would she want to dress up like it is? She doesn't wear much in the way of jewelry or piercings either. The first is too noisy and just draws attention when you have too much and the second never lasts more than a minute.

Personality

Outward & Innate Personality:
Paige seems like an introspective young woman who tends to get wrapped up in her own thoughts, but not to the point of rudeness. She'll wave when you say hi, smile when you say something nice, and laugh when you tell a joke.
She never really feels any of it, though, and she learned through experience how hard it can be to live as an outcast, leading her to develop a facade that she puts up for the rest of the world to see, acting the part of the cute little goth girl who always seems just a little bit off. Whenever she smiles, there's a hint of sadness, and whenever she laughs, there's a touch of bitterness. Even when she waves hello there's tension hidden in the movement, like she can't trust that the good times and happy feelings will last.
She learned to tune those kinds of emotions out long ago, however, never feeling anything but numb because if you never feel happy or content, then nobody can take those things and use them against you. Joy, happiness and hope are nothing but potential weaknesses for others to exploit, and the best way to defend oneself against the people like that is to simply tune everything else out. Better to just stay empty than get everything good wrung out of you over and over again.
Thanks to Steven though, she has begun to open up to the good things again, started experiencing them as more than just undistinguished moments in time and appreciating them for the beautiful things they are.

Hobbies/Interests:
Movement and exercise is something Paige finds immensely therapeutic, a way to clear her mind of all the harsh reality of her life, and she has taken to practicing gymnastics, parkour, mixed martial arts, and knife fighting whenever she gets the chance. When she can, she especially loves to do this out amongst nature where there are no people or buildings or machines, just the plants and animals and her. Out there, she doesn't have to try and fake being normal, doesn't have to be on edge every second waiting for the other shoe to drop. Nature is never capable of cruelty, and that is very appealing to her. Sure, a wildcat might kill a deer, but it doesn't do so in order to cause suffering and then laugh at the prey cowering beneath it. In nature, predators only kill to survive, and there is nothing cruel about that.

Skills/Talents:
She likes to think she's a decent actress, using it as a way to hide the mental and emotional scars Harry gave her from the rest of the world, and Steven always said she was one of the most promising fighters he'd ever seen (though always followed it up with "but you've got a long way to go, slick"). He's also told her she's probably one of the toughest people he's ever met, surviving everything she did. The things Harry did can either break a person or make them stronger, and for her it was a lot of both.

Prized Possession:
A necklace found with her when she was a baby. She likes to think it belonged to her mother.

Quote(s):

History/Bio:

Family:
No blood relatives known.
Multiple foster-familes.

Relationships

Relationships:

Steve Wilson | Good | Legal Guardian | "He was the first person I met that treated me like another person, and I owe him everything I am. If it wasn't for him, I'd still be a broken, helpless mess. He pulled me out of that pit Harry kept me in, washed the grime and dirt off, and gave me a reason to hope again. I still think his quest to make me normal is hopeless though."

Harry Masterson | Bad | Former foster-father | Deceased | "They kept saying how sorry I must have felt for killing him, how traumatized I must be by it, but the truth is I never felt anything when it happened. All the trauma came before he died, and by the time I buried that splinter in his chest I was so numb I couldn't even be glad it was over."

Gina Masterson | Neutral | Former foster-mother | "She wasn't really a bad person, and as much as I hated her for going along with him then, I understand that now. She was just as afraid of him as I was, just trying to stay out of his way long enough to make it through the day without any more bruises. I despised her back then, but now... I hope she found a Steven of her own."

Abilities:

Power Class: Energy/Anatomical: 8

Powers:

  • Energy Absorption. Essentially, Paige has the ability to drain most types of energy directed towards her into her body and use it to achieve a variety of effects. She can channel it back outwards directly in the same form as it was when absorbed, project it to enhance the energy levels within pre-existing systems, or use it to bolster her own regenerative capabilities. This is effective on any energy that is capable of applying work to physical matter in some way or another, be it thermal, kinetic, electromagnetic or nuclear. So far, although she has proven able to absorb concussive force, she has been unable to withstand the damaging effects of direct physical impacts, meaning that she would be vulnerable to regular hand-to-hand combat or conventional weaponry, but not explosions or energy blasts. Additionally, Paige's rate of passive absorption is only enough to fuel her ability to heal, and she must actively utilize her ability in order to absorb and manipulate any larger amounts of energy.

    Enhancement: As mentioned above, once Paige has drained energy from an attack, she is able to use it to enhance the local energy levels within pre-existing systems in her vicinity. This basically works by converting the absorbed energy into raw negentropic force which will enhance the energetic flow of anything it is projected into. Fires will burn more brightly, plants will grow much more quickly, people will regenerate more easily, winds will blow more strongly. Mutants affected by this will find their abilities temporarily enhanced. Basically, the energetic cost of any action will be decreased when exposed to this effect.

  • Regeneration: Using the energy absorbed by her other ability, Paige's body is able to greatly enhance the speed and effectiveness of its own regenerative capabilities, far beyond the limits of a regular human. She will heal from injuries at a very rapid rate, with most small cuts and bruises disappearing within a minute. Burns, gashes and other moderate injuries will usually fade away within the next thirty to ninety minutes, while broken bones and other severe injuries will typically only last for a day or so. Whenever she is channeling large amounts of energy, this ability will be enhanced, to compensate for the damage she receives during the process.

  • Weaknesses: To put it simply, energy. Although she is capable of absorbing many forms of energy, she is unable to achieve a perfect conversion, meaning that a portion of any energy she absorbs is still expended in the form of damage to her body. Using her ability will often leave her burned, electrocuted, concussed or irradiated, and it is not uncommon for her skin to start smoking or sparking erratically whenever she is using large amounts of power. The only reason she is able to withstand such intense and traumatizing amounts of force is that her healing capabilities are significantly increased during the channeling process, enabling her body to survive, although just barely. While handling a small battery or lighter's worth of power is relatively trivial, larger amounts of energy will often leave her skin burnt, blistered and raw for up to an hour afterwards. Absorbing particularly high-powered attacks will most likely result in hospitalization, and keeping large amounts of power stored unused within her body is extremely unpleasant, as well as giving her an extremely high risk of ashing. Her internal batteries are usually best kept at under 40 percent of their maximum capabilities, to prevent causing undue strain upon her metabolism.

    Other: So far, she is only aware of the regenerative portion of her abilities.

    Basic Information

    Name: Quinn Daives
    Nickname/Alias/Etc:
    Gender: Both (Commonly referred to as a female)
    Age: 16
    Height: 5'11"
    Weight: 153 lbs
    Status: New Student

    Appearance:

    Hair Color: Dark brown with a slight reddish hue. It is easier to see once she has been in the sun for a while. Her hair is relatively voluminous, but can be tamed easily thanks to her nightly routine of brushing. It typically is pulled back into an athletic ponytail.
    Eye Color: Gray blue with brown flecks towards the iris.
    Ethnicity: Greek
    Physical Appearance: Quinn is a peculiar case. For all intents and purposes, Quinn is a young woman, but the onset of puberty brought about quite a few questions. Her face is something of an oval shape with a strong chin and jaw along with a straight nose. She has a faint Adam's apple and a husky, gender ambiguous voice. Her eyes are situated a little closer to her nose and are almond in shape. Her olive skin stretches gently over a defined, muscled body. Her broader shoulders, thin wrists, wide palms and slender, long fingers are a mess of contradictions that just add to her overall look. She is leggy, and thus a good amount of her height can be found there. Her body sports quite a few scars from her athletic background, some are cool while some are pretty gross. She loves them all since each on has a story that she would enjoy sharing. She is surprisingly curvy, but her chest is not very well developed. She is small enough to where she can wear a tank top or a shirt without a bra. She has defined abs, legs, and arms with large feet.

    Attire: Quinn normally wears fitted jeans over a pair of boxers. She can be seen wearing either a t-shirt or a button down with a pair of Chuck Taylors. She is a fan of the simple leather belt and usually customizes it with belt buckles based on comic characters or other facets of geek culture.

    For workouts, it is not unknown for her to go topless, as her chest gives no true indication of her feminine nature. She usually only wears tennis shoes, low slung shorts and boxers. If she needs to, she will just wear a tight tank top.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: Quinn can be relatively outgoing. Despite her complications, she enjoys being around other people. She is pretty polite, and is happy to help other people. Quinn is naturally suspicious though, and is hyper aware whenever someone is very close to her, especially when they are near her belt. She is relatively slow to anger, and tends to ignore irritants. This doesn't mean she doesn't get angry or jealous, she would much rather take it out on something later than burn a possible bridge. Sometimes, later doesn't come though, and her anger is very explosive. Once she is angry, there is no forgiving the source of her anger. Deep down, Quinn wrestles with her inner battle between wanting to be a full male/female and just being herself. Her parents instilled in her that they love her despite her decision, but the decision weighs heavily on her consciousness. She has been known to look at both males and females in envy for their natural bodies, and will seclude herself when she becomes depressed. Depression, extreme irritation, temper fluctuations, and emotional imbalances can set in when she doesn't take her hormone balancers. Just missing one day can cause the symptoms to appear within an hour.

    Hobbies/Interests:
    *reading comics
    *playing video games,
    *playing a variety of sports: soccer, paintball, BMX (freestyle/racing), football
    *Working Out
    *Physics
    *Parkour
    *Recreational shooting

    Skills/Talents: Quinn is a good street fighter. She fights tough and dirty and won't apologize for it. She is extremely skilled at parkour and is agile and speedy. She is good at her favorite sports and is a bit of a maniac when it comes to sciences, especially Physics. She is a damn good marksman. She is also a pretty decent cook, though baking is more her thing. She has no secondary language, and can only speak English.

    Prized Possession: Her Balance Medication case.

    Abilities

    Power Class: Energy Level 7
    Power: Kinetic Energy Manipulation. This is the best way to put it. Her primary powers are the conversion of energy and the redirection of energy for the purpose of rapidly accelerating objects.

    Her body naturally creates its own energy, like everyone. However, she can also absorb other forms of energy (sound, mechanical, nuclear, chemical, heat, and thermal) and convert them into useable energy. She is also able to absorb and redirect kinetic energy for a more powerful effect since she doesn't need to directly convert it. This allows for her to rapidly accelerate objects by manipulating the flow of into into and through the object itself, much like an energy efficient rail gun.

    Her second most common form of manifesting her power is through Hyperkinetic Exertion, which allows her to perform superhuman feats with very little work.
    Using her hands on knowledge of speed, mass, and kinetic, she is able to combine all of her abilities to fire off a variety of projectiles at a variety of speeds. Kinetic projectiles can currently reach up to 340 m/s (about 761 mph) depending on the material used (this would be a small bullet).

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: One main weakness is that a lot of her attacks are centered around Energy Absorption. This means that she cannot absorb too much. Like a fuse, too much of any one or combination of energy types can overload her and render her unconscious. If she continues to absorb energy, the risk of ashing increases exponentially for every excess of 30 seconds.

    She can create her own energy for use, but that uses a lot of her own internal energy to convert, so it is typically just used to supplement and bolster her exertion of "output" energy.
    It is best if she does not absorb energy from the electromagnetic spectrum at this time, since she cannot handle the power that comes from converting any one of the 21 types. She has not been able to actually pick one of the 21 types, and thus ends up absorbing them all. This is the only case where she absorbed too much, too fast for her body to actually keep up with. Thus she released it uncontrollably with too much velocity in too many directions, and ended up decimating a city block. She was in a coma for nearly a month following this accident.
    She currently cannot fire a projectile larger than a 9mm bullet at high speed. Anything smaller is fair game, but would be considered anomalies since most materials would be ripped apart at those speeds.
    She cannot charge her projectiles at this time.

    Other: She suffers from Congenital Adrenal Hyperplaisia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. She identifies as both a male and a female. She also has a fully functional, normal sized penis and is fertile. She cannot carry a baby, despite her having a vagina.

    Name: Konstantyn Borzeki
    Nickname/Alias/Etc: N/A
    Gender: Male
    Age: 15
    Height: 5'6"
    Weight: 143 lbs
    Status: New Student

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Black
    Eye Color: Brown
    Ethnicity: Polish (White)
    Physical Appearance: Konstantyn's appearance, unlike many other meta-humans, is little out of the ordinary. His skin is white with a greyish tinge to it. His face, despite the dull skin tone, is often radiating with confidence. He usually has some amount of stubble across his cheeks, chin, and upper lip, though it never grows beyond a 5-o'clock shadow. His hair is short and neat, with a small widow's peak just at the top of his forehead. He is by no means a big person, but he is slightly bulky around the forearms and legs. In contrast, he is less massive in the body and shoulders, but not too noticeably. Additionally, two large scars lie on the upper-portion of his arm from a car accident, and he is missing a pinky toe as a result of a birth defect. Neither of these anomalies are related to, give additional strength, nor take away from his abilities.
    Attire: Konstantyn adorns a grey button-up shirt with red horizontal stripes, khaki pants with black suspenders, and a dull, worn-out pair of black sneakers. He also likes to wear a small Polandball pin wherever he goes.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: He is a friendly character, but will not hesitate to defend himself in the face of those who'd mock him, his parents, or his home country. Despite an incomplete understanding of the English, Konstantyn can hold a lengthy conversation with his American peers. In these discussions, he can be very revealing about his personality, in that he is a man (erm, teen) who enjoys having fun. Family is his primary concern to him, and the lengthy distance from his brothers, sisters, and mother in the slums of NYC no doubt makes him anxious and homesick at times. When fighting, he will use his cunning, but often times he finds himself too "in the moment" to think clearly. Even with a difference in nationality--and, as a result of that, culture--he will still make his best attempts to get along well with his American peers. In the face of a challenge, Konstantyn will gladly take on whatever stands in his way. He tends to be as polite as he can, but can get jovial and loud after a while. But behind this mask of a jolly Polish teen, Konstantyn still remembers his impoverished childhood, and will try anything he can to put his past behind him. As a result, he feels a sense of kinship towards others who have also had a life of poverty, but--knowing how difficult memories of financial instability can be to deal with--he will not try to make it the focus of conversation.
    Hobbies/Interests: As a newcomer to the Western hemisphere, Konstantyn spends a lot of time reading English books to improve his secondary vocabulary. But, of course, this doesn't particularly interest him; as a matter-of-fact, he'd much rather be doing any sort of activities outside. He he has a musical taste for both Polish music and 60's rock from the West.
    Skills/Talents: Konstantyn can breakdance. He can also, obviously, speak Polish.
    Prized Possession: The letters he receives from his family.
    Quote(s):

    "Individually, we are but weak little twigs. However, when we work together, we become--as you Americans say--a mighty faggot."

    "Hey, look at this word! Ce-pha-li-za-tion! It is funny to me."

    History/Bio: Born in one of the many poor suburbs of Krakow, Konstantyn Borzeki lived a life of rough labour and struggling. The Polish boy and his family desired to move West to New York City, where they might make a better living than in their European slums. For 8 years, Konstantyn and his family worked hard to earn the money to move to the New World; however, just when things looked to be in their reach, a horrible car accident happened, killing his father and terrible injuring his brother's arm, which later had to be amputated. Luckily for the young meta-human, Konstantyn himself only got two cuts just below his right shoulder. Regardless, this crippled the income for the family. Many a night now had to be spent without dinner just so that they could continue to save up for their escape to a better life. Just when things looked grim and hopeless for Matka Borzeki and her children, Konstantyn discovered that he could "focus" light in front of him; using this "magic", he began to use this to make even more money for the family to leave for America. The financial enterprise did not work for long when others wished to see more of this mysterious power, leaving the boy unable to produce anything else over the course of 3 years. Still, it did provide enough for the family to make just barely enough to catch a trip overseas to NYC. Their dream was now a possibility! They could finally go to America, the land of opportunity! After arriving in Manhattan, the family settled in a new slum, but within merely 3 days time Matka Borzeki acquired a well-paying job, enough for her to pay the expenses of her single-parent family and eat and rest as she needed!

    However, before she could enroll all three of her children to a public school, Matka Borzeki received a letter, inviting one Konstantyn Borzeki to attend the meta-human Academy program in a distant on-campus school (at the time unspecified). Apparently, word of the boy with "solid light" spread across the slums of Krakow to an Academy secretary (not from 218, of course) who, by chance, was visiting relatives in Poland. Hearing this tale, the bureaucrat investigated the rumor and discovered a little impoverished boy and his family heading off to America, the boy in question now who could now not only focus even more light together into a larger, curved wall, but could also create strange black "tears" in the void of space. At the recommendation of the secretary, the institution sent an invitation for Konstantyn. This was a perfect opportunity for the Polish family: send Konstantyn to receive a regular education and a way to harness his powers, all at no expense to the family, which would make the Borzeki income rise greatly, and therefore allow for the three other children to enroll in a better school!

    So, of course, the Borzeki teen accepted the invitation, and was soon sent away to a mysterious academy on top of an artificial island far from both of his homes....

    Family: Matka (mother) Borzeki, and his siblings Aleksandra, Kamir, and Justyn.

    Abilities

    Power Class: Celestial Class, Level 5; Spatial Class, Level 4
    Power: Solar Shield: Konstantyn is capable of drawing sunlight together to form a window-like wall as a shield. At present, it can only stretch to about 6 feet in height and 4 feet in width, providing just enough cover for the Pole alone. It is not an immobile object; Konstantyn can make the shield float and move around if necessary. It is of course called a "solar shield" for a reason: the more sunlight there is in an area, the stronger the shield can be. If shattered, the shield's remains will stay solid, and act like glass; as such, Konstantyn can pick up any piece and use it like a knife. Trail of the Void: He can also create a black-coloured "tear" in the fabric of space that anybody can pass through. Another "tear" is created elsewhere in the process, connected to the one Konstantyn initially created. He can jump through the initial tear and, after a few seconds of flying through the void, come out of the other end.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Firstly, he can only create one shield at a time; he can create another after the first is shattered. While Konstantyn is capable of drawing sunlight to form a shield, he cannot draw light from anything else; lamps, fire, even other distant stars cannot provide sufficient light for him to make anything meaningful. As mentioned above, his shield is not impregnable; it can be broken into glass-like shards. The consequence of this is that usually the glass-light will go flying back at Konstantyn with whatever force broke the shield, providing additional damage to him. If he does choose to use a glass-light shard as a weapon, he will almost certainly receive cuts from it's use. Another thing mentioned above is that the more sunlight there is, the stronger the shield gets. The opposite also holds true; if the sunlight is blocked in any way (i.e. by clouds, an eclipse, or the process of sunset/sunrise), then the shield's power is drastically weakened. As for his "tears", there are also numerous problems involved with them. First of all, they are short range creations; the furthest exit tear can be no more than 50 metres away. He has no control over where the exits are created (but can control where the entrance is made, though again this is limited to a 50-metre radius). The inside of the void acts as empty space; thus, if he is unprotected while travelling through the tears, his body will react as a body would if it where in orbit above Earth. He has no control over the internal distance of the tears, which usually takes from 5-15 seconds to travel through. If he continuously travels through the void, he will grow more and more weary and nauseous, thus making repeated void travel even more dangerous. The effects of void travel last for about 10 minutes after each use.

    Basic Information

    Name: Abraham Gene
    Nickname/Alias/Etc: Golem
    Gender: Male
    Age: 19
    Height: 6'3"
    Weight: 219 lbs.
    Status: New student

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Black
    Eye Color: Amber
    Ethnicity: African-American, 1/3 Caucasion
    Physical Appearance & Attire: Abraham is imposing. He's thugish, he is 6'3" tall, athletically fit, surmounted by broadened shoulders and he carries himself in such esteem you would think that nothing could touch him. In addition to his height, he is muscular. Not just in his arms or abdomen, though - he is the type of guy who you'd think did a full body workout (albeit not a devoted body builder). These aspects, along with his uncommonly thick bones, contributes to his weight. As an African-American and Caucasian mix, his skin is a brown soil color, generally untouched by acne or blemishes, but covered in scars and scrapes from various activities. Among his collection includes a bright, whitened stripe across his thumb - and if you hadn't known better, you would've thought it was cut off at some point or another. Others includes scrapes and burn scars all over his hands and a couple on his arms and legs, which appear to be nothing more than rough housing mementos. A notable one, however, his one that stretches across the right side of his abdomen, down his side. That one he laughs about and claims it had occurred during a knife fight.

    His lips are not thick and full and fat and so on (although they are not particularly thin), and the structure of his face appears to resemble that of a Caucasian man, though this is due to his split heritage and the interracial relationship of his grandparents. He has thick eyebrows and lashes which frames his intense amber eyes, and his black hair is dreaded all the way down to an inch below his shoulder blades. His hair, though, is most of the time held back in a loose ponytail gently tied back by two other dreadlocks. Otherwise, his hair would've framed his oval face and draped over his broad shoulders. He is, generally speaking from the subjctive viewpoints of others, described as a fairly attractive individual. If you've a preference those of dark skin, or if skin color does little to determine your attraction to a person, Abraham is quite a looker for his age and posseses admirable physique. He's tall and strong with a charming disposition and demeanor, holding himself in such a way that exudes confidence and invokes envy. Abe is, in most respects, a dreamboat... and he knows it! So predictably, he likes to utilize that to his advantage - as well as a reliable asset.

    He has very little in the ways of facial hair or body hair. He has some light unnoticeable stubble across his cheeks and chin, and is as such nothing remarkable. In fact, the lack of body hair seems to do more to compliment his appeal than there a lack of being, considering how his muscle tone shows with greater emphasis and without any obstruction (aside from clothing, of course). His tone is remarkable in comparison to the common man his age; barely a pinch of fat in any one place of his body. This of course contributes to a portion of the justified arrogance he reveals. His walk has swagger and his smooth voice bears a light Boston accent, but he generally does not use very many forms of slang. He's actually rather articulate.

    There isn't any one particular outfit that he leans towards - he has many of them. The style may change from a punk vibe, to relaxed, sometimes classy, sportsy, whatever. He generally has a jacket though, usually a denim jacket or a leather one, or a black pea coat if he's feeling particularly hipster that day. He usually avoids shorts. The kind of jeans or pants don't really matter to him, but he tends to shoot for jeans that are baggy around legs but tends to tighten around his waist, providing comfort and usability. His shoes are boots, almost always boots. Steel toed, faded out, around the ankles, much like that of combat boots. Though it may change according to the situation - sports often call for sneakers, and a fancy outing requires more refined dress shoes. These he has, which were custom made for his feet. But mostly, Abraham goes for clothing that is relaxed and easy to move in. V neck shirts are a common occurrence in his wardrobe, long sleeved shirts are too. A belt is always seen around his waist, and he never wears gloves.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: Outwardly, Abraham is charming, forward, and proud. A peculiar mixture of relaxed and energetic are what makes up his disposition. He's talkative in the right crowd and has very many stories to share regarding his hijinks, adventures, and mishappens he has experienced throughout the extent of his life. He is exceptionally charismatic in that he can put a smile on your face or instill fear in your mind when he wants to. He knows how to sweet talk his way out of different situations. However, Abraham is also incredibly arrogant and borderline narcissistic. He is the type of person to view another as far beneath him and rarely sees another at his own level. This is a given, considering the fashion in which he was raised and expectations of others he has been accustomed to. He expects others to listen to him, do as he requests, or he sees it as some sort of challenge. He has a large presence and a forceful voice, coupled with charm, people tend to see him as a leader, and further, he isn't stingy. He can pay you back rather handsomely if you do him a favor or if you get on his good side. This being said, he isn't very frequently refused and so his ugly side isn't seen as often one might expect.

    His allegiances often align with those that provide him the greatest benefit for himself, or is of greater influence than, say, a person with little control over the great machine. That said, he can be regarded as selfish, preferring to think of himself before others. This is obvious in politics. He doesn't consider himself a Republic or Democrat. Moral values don't mean terribly much to him. But being in the high upper class with his father, Abraham is more likely to vote for a candidate that benefits him. Those candidates, in result, usually tend to be that of the Republican party. He doesn't give a damn about religion, and immigration is a mixed bag, as it can prove both beneficial and detrimental to some aspects of economy; mostly good, so he doesn't really care about your ethnicity. Any other moral issue that the rest of the country struggles with doesn't bother him. He considers himself above another according to social hierarchy, so unless you have a lot of money, friends, and/or popularity, he'll probably overlook you much like a elephant that overlooks an ant.

    Abraham isn't past manipulation or playing dirty - manipulation is one of mankind's greatest weapons ever constructed, after all - he'll use you to get what he wants if that's what it takes, and if you're no longer a useful tool, he'll likely drop all communication with you. However, this isn't a common occurrence, because let's be real here: he already has so much! Any ulterior motives he might have that would require another person to do things for him, he could easily get it done by paying them off with a bribe or forcing it through intimidation - and he likes to play rough. Despite all these tendencies of indirect confrontation, he has zero problems with getting the job done himself. After all, he is a born athlete. He's aggressive, competitive, and will do what it takes to win, because losing isn't an option in his book. He goes by the nuclear effect: if insulted, attacked, or provoked in anyway, he will retaliate in turn with ten times the severity. This is one of the prime reasons nobody likes to mess with him. Abraham is simply far too much trouble than he is worth... and the price is always hefty. He's always up for a fight and he isn't held back by any rules when he does.

    The ladies are an entirely different story with him though - he is remarkably flirtatious. If you were a woman, and whether you express an interest in him or not, you will be assaulted with the most fervent case of wanton promiscuity your unsullied virginity (or otherwise) had ever endured. In any other case, his flirtatiousness spares not a single bosom as long as it meets Abraham's qualifications of attractiveness. This take-no-prisoners disposition also gives him a confident "bad boy" vibe that certain classes of young women find irresistible in one's personality. Given his charming demeanor when around the ladies and his appearance, he isn't very often refused. When he is, though, it's almost as if his eyes are trained on that one person. He needs what he can't have after all, and he takes almost a thrill in the "hunt". However, should the neglect continue, there's another side of him that can be seen: his reprehensible sexism. As if the subtle objectification of women he appears to portray wasn't as clear an indicator, consistent refusal will prompt him to apply the label of "prude" to said female. Subtle hints of his sexism can be seen in casual conversations where he seems to imply some extent of inferiority, however, this aspect of his personality is only shown in very specific turns of the conversation and isn't always identifiable.

    Innately, Abraham holds much contempt for nearly everything. He doesn't care what the world wants, if it burns or if it strives. He cares solely for himself and, if possible, take out his rage on the environment around him. He has a lot of pent up rage and individuality. His rage doesn't necessarily stem from daddy issues, rather, more from his lack of love for everything else. Of course, his relationship for his family is less than ideal, and he holds contempt for his father in many regards (though mingled in is some respect). These feelings are deep, deep inside him, and it is these feelings where he is able to harvest his ferocity in a fight. But on top of that are layers upon layers of a persona he has chosen to portray himself as. A mask that is so esoterically weaved and layered over these feelings, that he can hide it from even himself at times. It became a persona that he actually connects to and feels everything it is supposed to feel, and this persona runs so deep he may as well have created a new person.

    Hobbies/Interests: He takes peculiar enjoyment in fighting others. It gets his blood rushing. Arguments, not quite, as it is more of an annoyance. As such, he's less likely to argue and more likely to walk up and try to start something. Oh, and of course, women. Abe sure loves the ladies. Certain kinds of ladies, mind you . Life is a beauty pageant and Abe is Simon Cowell. Sports and music are also outlets that Abe can pursue, and are perhaps areas in which he can find acquaintences. Peons. Tools. Those sorts of people. Which is, to say, everybody.

    Skills/Talents: Abraham was provided many opportunities during his life, so as such, he was able to build up quite a set of skills. When it comes to athletics, he's in a niche of his own: He has taken martial arts - krav maga, an Israeli art. He had actually worked his way up pretty high, but due to abusing the teachings he had received there, he was refused any further services before he could become a black belt. That aside, the actual self-defense training has managed to stick with him to this day. He always did participate in sports like soccer, football, basketball, and basically anything that was competitive and could get his blood flowing. He was a gymnast for a short period of time, and ran track. In his spare time, when he was unable to participate in athletics, Abraham worked to gain a fair measure of musical talent and managed to carve himself a little place in stringed instruments: he's had lessons in guitar and transferred that over whilst learning the ukulele, and just a little practice on a friend's bass. Abe is incredibly practiced in his superhuman abilities, and knows how to implement them well - he derives a great deal of pride in learning how to utilize his abilities to their fullest extent. During his practice, he learned a few tricks that he keeps up his sleeves.

    Prized Possession: There isn't much Abraham holds on to very dearly. Everything is material to him. Outwardly, you would think it is his pride. Inwardly, it's a memory.

    Quote(s): "Listen darling, people say you can't buy happiness with money... which is ridiculous, I know! I've proved that wrong time and again, but how about I show you what that's like first hand?"

    "Jesus-fucking-Christ on a stick..." Abraham grumbles to himself beneath his breath. However, an itching nuisance of a thought tickled the back of his brain, prompting a sideward glance. Out of the corner of his eyes, Abe came to realize that he's in a church, and glances at a crucifix with the depiction Jesus nailed upon it, making him subsequently recoil. "Whoops."

    History/Bio: Abraham was born to a very wealthy and prestiged family. His father is a director of an oil company, so that said, they were extremely well off. The mother left early on leaving not much of a mother figure to be around aside from the maids that were paid to service the family. Aside from that, there isn't much to be said about his early youth, aside that he was provided with an extensive above-average education, regularly encouraged to do well in the private school for the upper class in which he was enrolled in, so that he may excel much like his father. His father, which, never really had the time to behave as a proper parent or role model to the boy, so he was mostly raised by weak-willed servants. This, predictably, can lead to some peculiar growing up patterns.

    When Abe was five, he got a little brother. A half brother, in all honesty, but they were brothers nonetheless. They grew up together from then on. As soon as Abe was old enough to get into sports, he did, and he found it exhilarating. The adrenaline and competition meant everything to him - he wanted to win, to be the best, and feel magnificent while doing so, as though he were on top of the world. He didn't received much support from his father, who tended to just look at him and expected improvement the next time around - that's how economics worked, after all. Unfortunately, it was twisted into a vicious cycle and it eventually developed a sense of domination in Abraham, that he had to be better, otherwise he wasn't good enough. Him and his brother, as they got older, always wrestled. He got into track, played on teams in sports, which was generally football, basketball, and soccer. Of course, some of these routines couldn't continue when it rained or if he got sick or even grounded. There wasn't many curricular activities he could do if those options weren't available. So when he was forced to stay home, he managed to pick up a different hobby: guitar lessons. It started simple at first, when he began to teach himself what each string sounded like. As he grew to like it, he was receiving lessons.

    There's the natural progression of events that continued on - he likes sports and music, and was more or less a wealthy child that pursued the hobbies of what was often considered to be that of a class for citizens under the upper class. In addition, his father wasn't fond of his son's aggressive temperament, and perhaps a top of the line martial arts instructor could help calm him down with some discipline while still giving him a hobby he'd like. He received these "krav maga" classes when he was fourteen, and at first, they didn't seem to do much good at keeping him down, but as time progressed, he seems better at keeping control of that temper. He was disciplined. However, when it came to sparring, he was ferocious and aggressive and sometimes had to be restrained. Perhaps other activities are necessary? Among the various solutions were, firstly, an outlet where he can learn to socialize properly with others. This is where he learned about his fondness with girls and how to be the charming devil he was always meant to be - and secondly, a way to expend his energy without directing it at another person. So for a very short period of time, Abe was encouraged to enter gymnastics. While all the acrobatics were cool and fun, he figured he could learn that on his own via freerunning without wearing an uncomfortably tight unitard.

    His powers began to develop when he was 15. It was an incredibly scary experience for him, seeing how he reacted with stone and all that. He was a dirty little secret for a while before he could control it, and it was a secret that stayed strictly between father and son. Apparently, the father knew something of the meta humans, though didn't quite drop the bomb on him about it... and although surprised, he wasn't traumatically shocked by the knowledge of his son being one. It took a while, perhaps a week or two, of consistent tinkering to learn how to mess with the power, to at least keep it from activating by accident. Enough so that he can continue his regular life. He continued his active life as he would, but now with something else to practice on the sideline. He had a double life: a normal one, and then one as a meta-human, where he would practice his abilities when he wasn't doing anything else. And he soon began to realize that it was actually a pretty god damn awesome thing that he could do. Something that made him unique and set him apart! Something that could also be used to assert dominance. This pride and cocky attitude got a pretty secure hold on his life, his confidence affecting him in somewhat unpredictable ways. His sparring in martial arts was once again aggressive, and he got kicked out of the dojo when he was 17 for breaking the sternum of another student with a single punch, as well as knocking them ten feet back (it was at that point he learned how to solidify the bones in his arm for a more powerful blow). This of course pissed off his father.

    Life drastically changed when Abe was 17, and they learned when a shooting occurred at a theater killed Abraham's brother and one of security guards that escorted him. His father drank, and Abe, well, essentially became the devil incarnate. He was consumed with rage; wrath and other deadly sins took over his life. He fell out of loop with his usual self. He spent his time in the bad part of town in an alley, unbeknownst to his father, learning how to use his ability, and then beating people with it. Of course, these people were thugs and other crooks of that nature, making Abe a guy that resembled something of a vigilante. When spending his time there, he also learned of those street fight circles you can win and get paid for, much like underground boxing. Naturally, Abe didn't care about the money out of it, it was an outlet for his aggression and anger and he took advantage of it. There being no rules, and ghettos not being a stranger to superhumans, he was allowed to use his power. They didn't quite expect Abe's power to basically be made for close fighting.

    Shit hit the fan when Abe was involved in some terrible incident and all of the commotion grabbed the attention of Abe's father, who was unaware of all of Abraham's delinquent behavior meanwhile, which caused him to pull Abe out of prison (he was 18 then), and give him the loudest lecture of a lifetime. This of course brought to much attention to the family on the press, and he sent his son away to live on his own for a while (with a fair amount of money to live on should he be out of work). A good place to go was a different busy city swarming with activity and police, in Chicago. Abe went to live there, hoping maybe life there away from home would help to temper his son's behavior, as well as discipline him so that he isn't so willing to resort to his abilities so easily. Though honestly, Abe earnestly disagrees, and believes that his power is a part of who he is and that he should embrace it, not hide it. That being said, he's still going around town performing vigilante work. After a brief lapse of time, an officer caught him about to start a fight with a similarly shady man and Abe was thrown in the Chicago prison for a short night. It was about a week after that he received mail from his father expressing his disatisfaction with Abraham, and included in the mail was a letter concerning the 218 Academy. A place for people with powers like him, to learn control and restraint. Also a place where, his father had at least hoped, would aid in disciplining him.

    Abilities

    Power Class: Elemental, Anatomical
    Power: He is, if you watch Avatar, what you would expect from an earthbender and even more. He has the capability of manipulating rock and the ground itself and many of its variations, to his will. He can form it to his desire and wreak havoc with it as he pleases. His range is as far as the eye can discern and his power is as strong as his ferocity. The many different forms and bodies of stone and earth he can mold can have an influence on how the rocks are manipulated, and he can carve and shape it as he deems necessary. He can shape the stone so that it can be worn around his body, whether it be armor, a weapon, or giant fists. He can erect giant pillars and spires from the ground as long as there is enough stone in the vicinity to fuel it and as well as rectangular walls and shields - even domes. He can disconnect these from the ground and send it flying through the air or skidding across the ground and crush the target behind the thousands of pounds of force its impact generates. As Abraham is able to mold stone, he can, if he so chooses, reconstruct damaged structures or sculpt a brand new structure entirely. As he is normally, he is very much capable of manipulating stone using fluid movements, though is not restricted to doing just that.

    Stone Embodiment: Abraham can morph his whole body into cold, hard stone, or selectively morph different parts of his body. This also cause his body to become much denser, heavier, and durable, allowing him to pack more power at the trade-off of speed. Given his power of stone manipulation, he still retains enough mobility to keep himself moving, though his speed is severely hampered and he lacks the kind of agility he'd usually have. It's like going from motorcycle to foot scooter. On top of packing a lot of weight behind his punches, the ability to manipulate stone helps him packs tons more power behind his monster hay-makers and grants him super-strength that can compete even with the strongest of superheroes. Abe's wit has helped him think through the different aspects of his power, and so he recognized that, when stone, his own body can be altered as he pleases. This said, he is capable of changing the shape of his own body to serve his purpose - whether it be changing his hands to hammer or blades - the latter being particularly frightful, given how a pointy thing being made of stone and the size of a grown man's arm is being lunged straight through your body, and if you survive that, congratulations asshole! You now have stone sediments coursing through your bloodstream. Speaking of sediments, sandstorms are not beyond Abraham's ability. Although they are not a staple of his preferred fighting style and is not quite as practiced with them as say, Valjean is, his sandstorms can still be quite dangerous - why? Because although they may not have the wild winds or range and density as Valjean's, he can deconstruct stone into jagged and razor-edged shards and grains of sand, you impetuous pisshead. Way to go running head on into the equivalent of a dryer filled with razor blades and sandpaper.

    Like many superhumans, Abe has a couple of secret weapons, none he'd use lightly. But should the situation ever call for such a measure, he can go stone form. Which is cool in itself, right? Well, from there, Abe can begin an exhaustive process where he takes in the stone from his environment into his own body before his size and mass proliferates into that of a massive golem - easily as tall as telephone poles. While his standard stone embodiment stands as it is as being extraordinarily durable, turning into the Golem leaves him impervious to almost all physical attacks, attacks on his biological system, and allow him to deal devastating strikes to his foes. Unfortunately, Abraham has yet to master this ability. In fact, he has yet to fulfill one successful transformation. The patience and tedious process doesn't match will with Abe's fast-paced and impulsive behavior. However, should he ever master it, there's quite the epiphany... he takes in stone from his environment - there isn't a real set limit. The process is exhaustive, but should he ever be able to keep going, he can take in as much as stone as is provided to him and reach colossal levels that'd compare to (or perhaps even dwarf!) the Greek titans - though this is, to the fortune of his enemies, restricted by his stamina. The most he would be able to bring himself to do is to be as tall as telephone poles - and, of course, the girth of modern homes and the weight of a mountain. It is in his Golem form that his power is nearly boundless, and as such, provides more strength behind the changes to his environment that he is capable of instilling. Those spires he could erect before become miniature mountains, and the defensive walls become sheer cliffs. These he can launch with such power that it can utterly shatter a person's body were they not the most enduring superhuman! However, as a golem, he lacks mobility. He can make huge, massive steps, but at a super slow pace. Everything about him is slower and predictable, but should he hit somebody, they're in for a world of hurt.

    He has a unique ability he has recently been able to work out - regeneration. If he gets a cut, chops off his thumb, he can turn part of his body to stone - or his whole body, if he wishes - and manipulates stone to form to his original body, and revert his body back to normal, so that the stone thumb that replaced the prior one becomes a fleshy part of his body. Quite literally, he can make replacements. However, there is still the case of the utter soul-wrenching pain that comes with dismemberment. Regeneration isn't an easy process when you're under such a large amount of pain and stress, and it is a somewhat slow process given how what stamina Abraham has left is being put into regrowing a limb whilst under agony - there needs to be stone around that he can take into his body and replace the limb, otherwise, he needs the limb itself. What'll be left is very obvious scarring (such as the scar on his thumb) that shows this, but the body part is otherwise fully functional. However, he will still experience aches and phantom pains for a while after the regeneration and it generates trauma on the body. It is an ability that took a great amount of time to get working properly, and it takes a great deal of body memory, as well as contorting his limbs into different shapes. So these are not abilities he did little work to earn. He practiced extensively with his power to fully understand the ins and outs of this ability.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Let's be real here: Abraham is a physical juggernaut locked down tighter than a nun's chastity belt. If your aim is to dominate him via fisticuffs, you're gonna get wrecked. Though while his defense is awe-inspiring and his power terrifying, he operates rather simply. In a fight, he generally runs off of instinct and his training, and krav maga was made for street fighting. In more serious fights, he gets a form of tunnel vision that, while bad news for his target, makes him narrow-sighted and easy to predict. A clever opponent may outsmart him in a fight. Or perhaps your power is psychic in nature. In fights, his mind is a flurry. If a power allows someone to mess with his mind, he'll go nuts or shut down. He has very little defenses against mental attacks beyond his own conviction and - should he fall into it - being blinded by the seething rage that fuels him. It's a berserker mode that puts him in one train of thought, and while useful against mental attacks, everything around him is going to be messed way the hell up and he is going to feel like shit when he gets out of it.

    His powers do have limits and drawbacks. Whilst in stone form, Abraham's control over the stone around him is less refined. It becomes immensely more difficult for him to create large, dramatic structures and spires. While being in stone form does help him generate more power in the smaller environmental changes he can produce, his range and the size of his manipulate is on a smaller scale. Large-scale manipulation requires him to be in his more vulnerable and fleshy state. In this stone form, he is also restricted to contact. In order to bend the rocks and earth around him, he must remain on the ground and keeping himself firmly on the ground, Stone embodiment is much slower than his standard body, and his speed is cut down by at least half. So to be more efficient at fighting in a fast-paced match, he has to combine his regular body and stone embodiment, leaving him vulnerable in some areas to make up for speed so he can properly defend himself. His stone body, while incredibly durable, doesn't flex. Not like metal or flesh does, and that is why rock, under enough pressure at the right angle, can break easier than metal. However, his body is still dense and solid and would take tremendous force with the right material to actually break him.

    Or perhaps this isn't a fight we are talking about. Maybe it's social interaction, or maybe a diplomatic mission. While charismatic in the sense he can play a fun guy very well and get people to like them, he isn't nice. As such, he doesn't like leading people. He is a piss poor leader because he doesn't really like people a whole lot. Maybe individual people, but as a group, Abe just doesn't like people. So he's a poor leader. And maybe if you catch him in a mood, he's poor at making friends. Or perhaps he's just judging you by the shoes you wear. Either way, he makes enemies easily, and has the audacity to not even consider them worthy of calling them an enemy. He's extremely arrogant that way. He'll blow a diplomatic mission if he feels he's been slighted and he isn't much of a tactician. He just has two gears - stop and go. That said, he can play the charm just right if he has the proper incentive. Just cross your fingers that he doesn't get offended. His brand of "justice" is a very controversial one, and while he can identify the difference in moral right and wrongs, his punishment is usually severe. Abraham sees it as justified.

    Other: The goal of Abraham is to present a challenge or opposing force, one in which other characters can rebel against and form relationships with other through a mutual enemy. While Abraham is capable of becoming friends with other characters should the player play their cards right, or if we happen to work something out that'd make an interesting plot device, Abe isn't meant to be a likable or easily-trumped character by any means. So I offend anyone while writing him, that's great. I'll be thoroughly satisfied in knowing Abraham is an asshole.

    Basic Information

    Name: Sheryl Kingsley
    Nickname/Alias/Etc: Doppelganger
    Gender: Female
    Age: 18
    Height: 5'5”
    Weight: 128 lbs
    Status: New student

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Black
    Eye Color: Dull blue
    Ethnicity: Half Chinese, half English
    Physical Appearance: Sheryl is constantly smiling because she genuinely is a happy person (and smiling makes her more approachable). She's demure for her age; she wouldn't be considered muscular, but she wouldn't be called flabby. She is a leggy girl with most of her height, as well as her strength, being in her lower body, resulting in her running competitively in her youth. Her figure is rather lacking in that her breasts are rather small and her butt could hardly be called the ideal “booty,” but she doesn't really mind. She has other aspects of her that make up for it. Her Chinese mother gave her straight black hair as well as slightly tanned and blemish free skin. Sheryl tends to style her shoulder length hair to be half up in the back, leaving her bangs out freely. Her English father gave her almond shaped, dull blue eyes. She has an oblong face with a large forehead and an aquiline nose. Her mouth is medium sized with her bottom lip being fuller than her upper one. Her facial features are soft and makes her look kind and friendly. She has been called cute and charming, but not stunning or gorgeous.
    Attire: Her heritage has influenced her clothing style. In the more stereotypical and outdated clothes...
    Oriental: high-collared necks on her shirts and dresses, silk clothes, soft-soled shoes, moderately tight black or white pants, etc.
    English: bow ties, trench coats, scarves, boots that go up to her knee, tweed jackets, etc.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: Sheryl loves people. Being surrounded by them, interacting with them, making them smile; if she could only be competent at one thing, she would choose to be charismatic and sociable. Extroverted and outgoing, she likes going out and doing things with other people even if they weren't things she would go do by herself. She's quite childish and boisterous, and so has no shame doing things that some would consider odd in public; she also isn't adverse to tricking others once in a while. She wants to be respectable yet approachable to everybody she meets and does this with an almost obfuscating kindness. Her life motto, in regards to others, is: "Confuse them with kindness. If you can't, baffle them with your bullsh*t." Her doing this made it seem like she wouldn't stand up for herself when insulted, but she takes it without really noticing it being directed at her. At times it seems like she isn't paying attention to what's going on, like she's in another place. This tends to annoy people who try to talk to her as she doesn't focus on what they say and blindly agrees to things. This has gotten her into promising to do things for others wither her knowledge of it ever being promised. She is asexual.

    Hobbies/Interests: A fan of both anthropology and psychology, Sheryl enjoys people watching; nothing like analysis and deduction, just observing others. She travels a lot as well.

    Skills/Talents: Her memory is impeccable. Sheryl can recall most, sometimes all, of something she read or heard beforehand. It's only gotten as good as it is currently from constantly pseudo-quizzing herself on books and movies. Multi-tasking she had to learn to master and she can do that pretty well now. She used to run competitively in high school and continues running now for leisure. Her social skills are the best and she can consider most people she's ever had a longish conversation as a friend or warm acquaintance.

    Prized Possession: She doesn't really have one.

    Quote(s):
    “Prepare for trouble! And make it double! … It's actually quadruple but it doesn't really have the same ring, does it?”

    History/Bio: Sheryl Kingsley was born to a moderately wealthy family. She studied from a young age and was a happy, intelligent little girl. Her father was loving and her mother was loving. Her mother was also fond of binge drinking. By the time Sheryl was six, Dottie Hou Kingsley's liver wasn't what would be considered healthy. She developed Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome that was not treated fast enough. This led to a night where Sheryl's mother hallucinated something terrible and lashed out viciously at her father in her confused mental state. Little Sheryl was not a witness to any of this as she was sound asleep in her room. Her mother passed out from exhaustion and the amnesia kicked in. Sheryl woke up the next morning to find her father mildly injured and her mother passed out. She did the logical thing of screaming in terror. She was alone in her home with her parents as good as gone and she did not like that feeling of nobody there, leading to her personality of seeking out people as she grew up. Her mother awoke with no recollection of what happened in the onset of her disorder and, in a moment of lucidity, called the police.

    Sheryl was shipped off to the Baines family a few days later with her father in a coma and her mother in the hospital. She attended therapy for roughly two years and has sort of gotten over her family's destruction. The Baines were a wealthy and infertile couple that took to adopting. They adopted her with open arms. She took to being around friends and a large family cheerfully. Sheryl became fond of the scientific and biological texts found in the library and took to reading and constantly talking about it to her new family. When she was twelve, the anniversary of the day the Kingsley family became disbanded rolled around and she was busy but still wanted to visit them. She had to make the choice of visiting her father or her mother and could not decide. Her powers kicked in and decided for her. She understood what made up the human body by that time and she knew her who she was as a person and so she made a double of herself. Luckily, she was still fretting about her decision in her room since her double was not clothed. Sheryl didn't know what her clothes were made at that time and they didn't replicate themselves onto her double.

    Finding out she could replicate things took a backseat to her finding clothes for herself. Sheryl found out, after flickering visions of her room from different angles, that the double shared her attention. Everything was based on convenience regarding her double. If she wanted to pick up the shirt closer to her double, her double would pick it up instead as her double was technically herself. It took a while for her to get used to it, but she did.

    Sherlyl learned that to replicate things she had to know what it was made of and took to always finding out what every object she came into contact with was. She also learned that she had to know a person like they knew themselves as well as what made up a human body to replicate them. She told the Baines household this and was met with surprise and groans as that meant that they had to deal with two of her. Olivia Baines had the power to make wine out of water. Noah Baines had the power of finding out a building or object's schematics. Many jokes were made that day.

    Family:

    William Kingsley – Father: permanently paralyzed; has been in a coma for 13 years
    Dottie Hou Kingsley – Mother: has Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome from her alcoholism; permanently hospitalized
    Noah Baines – Adopted father
    Olivia Baines – Adopted mother
    Renae Sciarra – Adopted sister
    Ayumu Nakamoto – Adopted brother
    Mykolas Astraukas – Adopted brother

    Relationships

    Relationships:

    Mykolas Astraukas | Good | Big bro | "He doesn't talk that much, but that's fine. I talk enough for the both of us!"
    Ayumu Nakamoto | Good | Little bro | "We're partners in crime; it's pretty fun! I'm his older sister and I make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble though."

    Abilities

    Power Class: Other 6
    Power: Replicate. Sheryl has the ability to replicate things. She can have an object on the table and after some concentration, there would be an exact copy. The most common usage of her power is having her replicate herself. These doubles, they would be her in every sense because they aren't puppets that she controls, but rather another one of herself. There is no distance limitation to how far apart the doubles have to be, but they have to be within touching distance to be called back; only the original body can call back doubles. She has mastered having up to four of herself replicated at one time. Her focus shifts from one body to the other and if she wanted, she could make one of her doubles into her original body by shifiting all of her focus onto it. Doing that is painful though and would be disorienting.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: To replicate an inanimate object, Sheryl has to have a full understanding of what makes it up on the inside. She can not just look at something and replicate it in working condition; if she were to do that, it would only be a shell of the object and be unusable. For living beings (i.e. herself) she most know what the human body is made up of as well as know that other person as well as they knew themselves. When making doubles of herself, she is stretching out her mind to different vessels and if she replicates too many... Well her mind will be stretched too much and will snap.

    Basic Information

    Name: Mykolas Astraukas
    Nickname/Alias/Etc: Myk, Disney, Gentle Giant
    Gender: Male
    Age: 19
    Height: 6'1”
    Weight: 175 lbs
    Status: New student

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Light blond
    Eye Color: Light blue
    Ethnicity: Lithuanian
    Physical Appearance: Born with the Oculocutaneous Albinism type 1B, Myk has pale skin and light blond hair. Over time his pigmentation of his skin and hair had darkened from an unhealthy pallor and white hair to a reasonable paleness and light blond. His hair is short with the top slightly longer and tousled. Myk has an oval-shaped face with a strong jawline and a rounded chin. He has an average forehead with a straight edged nose. His ears are small, flat, and set close to his head. The light blue eyes are from his albinism which gives him mild vision impairment and are down-turned that make him look melancholy. He looks melancholy in general really. He has broad shoulders and muscular arms from his time spent outside handling animals and plants. Myk is strong enough to handle large animals so there is that. His hands are rough and calloused; they tend to be a bit dirty and/or dusty.
    Attire: To protect his skin, Myk wears long sleeved shirts and cargo pants when he goes out; if he doesn't, he'll slather strong sunscreen over himself. He wears wide brimmed hats when he's out gardening. Due to his sensitivity to light, he constantly has on wraparound sunglasses with mirror coatings and full UV protection.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: He's jokingly called “the Gentle Giant” by many people, but the nickname still applies. Myk is a calm individual and doesn't talk a lot. When he does, he speaks in a deliberately low, slow tone. He takes life and everything that comes his way in at a slower pace than others and people tend to think he's a bit dumb, but he's just suited for a less human environment. He's at his happiest around animals and plants; just any natural environment that hasn't been too heavily affected or influenced by human hands. Surprisingly, Myk is not as good with children as he is with small animals. He tends to panic, in his own way of tensing up and staring blankly at the little people, when they walk up to him. He doesn't approach people as he's fine with being alone with his flowers and chipmunks, so his friends are usually people that approach him first. He tends to befriend quiet, stoic people much more easily than talkative, emotional ones. Myk is also not a violent person; animals and plants do not like violent people so he grew up never fighting. He would be considered a pacifist in that he's never really considered throwing a punch at somebody as even an option. Even when some people thought that beating him up in school would mean they took down the biggest guy and gain a reputation as the strongest person at school, he wouldn't fight or meet up with them. Instead, he would bake a cake and send it to them. He makes up for his lack of speech with his actions.

    Hobbies/Interests: Reading as it's one of the only activities he can still do that hasn't been affected by his vision. He's interested in transportation as he will never be able to drive a car as well.

    Skills/Talents: Baking for one. Myk can't cook, but he makes pretty good desserts. Gardening is a favorite as well as taking care of animals. He's pretty strong and helps with any heavy lifting and moving.

    Prized Possession: His wraparound sunglasses.

    Quote(s):
    “Bibbity bobbity boo bitch.”

    History/Bio: Mykolas Astraukas was the first child to be adopted by the Baines couple. He was brought to America from Lithuania at the age of three and was immediately given help for his albinism. He was a quiet child that didn't speak a lot, but spent much of his time outside. People fretted over him as they didn't want him to get sunburned or skin cancer and watched over him carefully. It was known from a young age that Myk attracted animals to him. The small woodland creatures in the Baines backyard constantly approached and cuddled with him, and some of the larger animals like raccoons and foxes happily came up to him like house pets much to the worry of his parents. It was also noticed that all of the plants around him bloomed quickly and were more vivid in color than the ones that were not. It was quite a sight to see for many of the Baines's guests for a pale, near-colorless child to be surrounded by animals and bright, blooming plants.

    As Myk grew up, his pigmentation darkened to a less obvious symptom of his albinism. He also gained three siblings that he liked. Around the time the Baines adopted Ayumu and Renae, both they and Sheryl showed their powers. Everybody found out that the animals and plants being around him so much were his power. His school years had him either surrounded by books, animals, plants, or all three at one time. When he graduated high school, he decided to skip college and just be a florist. He bakes and volunteers at animal shelters in his free time. He is only going to the academy for his siblings' sake as his power isn't all that strong or interesting. Though recently, he's been noticing that people have become happier and calmer around him.

    Family:

    Edgaras Astraukas – Biological father
    Kotryna Astraukas – Biological mother
    Noah Baines – Adopted father
    Olivia Baines – Adopted mother
    Renae Sciarra – Adopted sister
    Sheryl Kingsley – Adopted sister
    Ayumu Nakamoto – Adopted brother

    Relationships

    Relationships:

    Sheryl Kingsley | Good | Sister | "She doesn't mind sitting with the animals and flowers with me."
    Ayumu Nakamoto | Good, slightly exasperated | Brother | "He keeps calling me a princess, but his violin playing makes the plants happy."

    Abilities

    Power Class: Other 3
    Power: Empathy. Around animals and plants, Myk makes them friendly and bloom. All it is is making animals and plants happy. His presence does that to them and makes hostile animals or sad animals brighten up. Plants bloom and seem to dance around him. What else is there to say? He's got all the powers of a Disney princess and he's almost as useless in a fight. He could probably distract dangerous animals by turning them into tame pets. Recently, his power has become stronger that the people within a two meter radius around him are being the same way the animals and plants are. They become happier and calmer; he might go so far as to say that the people got distracted from their worries around him.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Myk can't control any plants, animals, or people to do his bidding. He doesn't feel their emotions, and neither can he talk to the animals and plants. If the animal, plant, or person is particularly hostile, his powers won't be as potent.

    Basic Information

    Name: Rosette Sauveterre
    Nickname/Alias/Etc: Rosie, Rose
    Gender: Female
    Age: 22 (Physically looks 11 years of age)
    Height: 4’6”
    Weight: 73lbs.

    Status: New Student

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Black, possibly turning Silver Prematurely
    Eye Color: Light Brown
    Ethnicity: Caucasian/White (Second-Generation French-American)

    Physical Appearance: Despite being twenty-two years old, the intervention of Rosette’s powers have caused an arrested maturation of her body during puberty, which has resulted in her appearance permanently being locked in at the age of eleven, save for her voice, which has matured to reflect her actual age. Her voice, which is a deeper-pitched soprano with a defined rasp, seems out-of-place when compared to the person it belongs to. Her entire body, as well as whatever clothing she wears, possesses the bizarre appearance of seemingly being transparent, practically like a non-material entity, such as a ghost; she may fade or solidify more or less at odd times. It should be noted that she does not glow or seem supernatural, but this is also somewhat disorienting, and confusing to those who look at her. It is also disconcerting because aside from the occasions on which she chooses to speak and be heard by people, her footsteps make no sound, she possesses no heat signature that can be detected, and those with a sense of smell cannot recognize her scent. She has absolutely nothing about her person that can be detected or tracked.

    Rosette’s general appearance is that of a young girl, having the short height of 4’6”, and the measly average weight of 73lbs, being thin naturally. She does not seem feeble, however, as she possesses a tone to her appearance that suggests a certain degree of athletic muscle beyond that of a regular child, though it is nothing that would ever be seen as threatening, and she is still weak compared to a normally-developed individual. Her skin tone is naturally pale, and on areas typically hidden by clothing regardless of weather, is covered with old scars that suggest an unusual injury. Eerily, these scars look as though they were left by whips, claws, or bites, coming from some creature nobody would recognize. Rosette also has a notable narrow cut-like scar about an inch in length just beneath her right eye, which everyone notices; though this is generally all they ever see, and the majority of the time, it is covered up by cosmetics.

    Rosette’s face has a distinctly refined appearance, even for that resembling a child’s. Her face is diamond-shaped with cherubic lips, and almond-shaped eyes, though sharpness in her features is not present, because she did not mature enough to obtain it, though it seems as though she should have. Rosette has long, black eyelashes that frame her light-brown eyes. Her thick black hair, which is generally straight, though with a tendency to feather at the tips, is cut in a medium-length style that just barely grazes her shoulders. Her hair is parted at the center, and on the left side, a narrow strip of her hair has taken on a silver color, presumably due to severe bodily stress at some point, and likely linked to the scars she often tries to hide on her person.

    Attire: Rosette dresses in a casual manner that always seems to have a touch of refinement and maturity to it, with closer examination revealing that the clothing is a more expensive quality, indicating a preference for articles that will last a long time. She generally wears light sportswear-quality zip-up jackets with collars, although they do not have hoods. These jackets are notable for often having extremely long sleeves with holes for the thumbs to go through. Traditionally, these jackets will be in darker, more muted colors, if they are not completely monochrome, consisting of blacks and grey tones (white is a troublesome color to keep looking nice when it shows everything, so she seldom wears it). Often, short-sleeved t-shirts made primarily of soft fabrics like cotton will be worn underneath these jackets, typically in a dark color that will complement whatever the current chosen scheme is. Rosette will also generally wear plain jeans that fit comfortably, and often the denim is of a darker shade that will look nice with her primarily monochrome colors. She always wears a very good pair of broken-in running shoes, which she has sprayed with a thick coat of water-proofing coating, and therefore, they almost always look brand-new. These shoes are black and grey, neutrally colored for ease of not having to wear anything else relating to footwear.

    What is most notable about the way Rosette dresses is that regardless of the weather, she will always wear some sort of scarf; her signature ‘style’ that does not appear to ever change. Although she will generally pick the scarf based on its fabric, preferring cooler ones in warmer weather, she is almost never seen without one. Based on this, the majority of Rosette’s wardrobe consists of different scarves, made of a wide variety of fabrics, ranging from silk and cotton all the way to wool.

    Another aspect about Rosette’s dress is that, while for the most part reserved, she does seem to wear more jewelry than an average person. The ring she wears on the middle finger of her right hand is strongly out-of-place with her youthful appearance. This ring is a simple, yet expensive-quality one made of pale white gold with a smooth, stroke-like ornamentation to it, although the central focus of the ring is not lacking in appearance. Set into the center of the ring is a decent-sized (six-by-four millimeters) black opal with a distinct ‘Chinese writing’ pattern, which lapses between intense blue and green shades across the stone’s entire face when it catches the light. This stone is additionally ringed by a single row of very small diamonds. Facing inward, this larger ‘main’ ring is soldered to a thinner, matching ring also made of white gold, and which is lined with a single small row of diamonds. The appearance of these two bands, which were clearly two distinct individuals at one point, reveals them to be a combination of engagement and wedding bands typically worn by a wife. Rosette wears this combined ring as inheritance in honor of her late grandmother, who left the ring to her in her will.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: Rosette has a personality that matches her manner of dress, being reserved, yet elegant and refined, and perhaps a bit too secretive for most people to easily enter into a friendship. Although Rosette does not actually bear any malicious intent towards people, she rarely says anything about what she is planning on doing, or what her hobbies or favorite past-times are. This often leads people to become highly suspicious of her, even though the chances of her doing something harmful are extremely low. In other cases, during conversations, it is easy for people to forget her true age, and lapse back into the manners in which one would treat a child, which has been a constant, grating source of aggravation since she developed her powers, and failed to mature into the appearance of an adult. Rosette, as an extremely serious person, often does not say anything about herself, primarily because people often automatically resort to treating her like a person the age her appearance resembles, and therefore, takes her too lightly for her to be satisfied. It is easy to fall from her favor, if you frequently forget that she is actually twenty-two years of age, even when her voice sounds like that of a grown woman.

    Rosette, in all honesty, would be willing to talk about what she does in her spare time, if she thought people would actually take her seriously, and not be light-hearted about it, as though it were a joke. She has merely just tried so much to unsuccessfully convince people that she is telling the truth that she finally gave up trying. This has left her with a distinctly bitter aspect to her personality, and as a result, she often views things from the ‘worst-case-scenario’ standpoint, and is almost always cynical of anything that sounds idealistic, typically being negative or far less than optimistic about a situation. This in mind, however, she doesn’t exactly put people down, either. She may often disapprove of half the things a person says, but she doesn’t do things just to be mean, and she doesn’t intend to act superior to anyone, either. She often says things to make sure people are considering everything that could potentially happen, so they could formulate how to react in those situations.

    Often, the noted sour nature of her personality stems not just from a constant failure to be taken seriously, but from the fact that she is often morbidly aware of what can happen if something goes wrong. This is because every time she uses her powers, her life is at risk, but few actually believe that she could be injured using them. No one realizes that her apparent knack for tactical thinking, as well as her ability to think quickly on her feet comes from experience. The truth is that if she hadn’t developed these skills, she would have died a long time ago. The constant reminder Rosette receives of her own mortality has often led her to remind other people of theirs. This has caused many of those she meets to perceive her as having a highly disturbing, macabre preoccupation with death. They may even go so far as to have suspicions that she is mentally ill, although it could easily be trauma, as she appears to be turning prematurely silver.

    There is more evidence in Rosette’s behavior that points to her possibly suffering some sort of trauma. She is typically either upset, or very easily angered during morning hours; presumably because she either cannot fall asleep, or her bad dreams constantly scare her awake. She often tends to carefully watch everything, and always seems somewhat tense, as though waiting for something to happen. She also has an extreme, unnatural fear for certain specific aquatic animals, primarily abyssal fish, and anything like a squid or octopus that bears tentacles. She also cannot stand the sight of slugs, worms, or snails. These things have often been noted as a very severe phobia, as Rosette herself would even vaguely admit she knows that they are harmless, but that they remind her of something she doesn’t like to think about. Despite these fears, she is able to suppress them and go near these creatures, and even touch and pick them up, although not without a strong degree of revulsion and disgust. Although she may do it unwillingly, Rosette is not crippled by her fears, and often forces herself to be near them, at times.

    It is highly suspected that Rosette’s dietary preferences (She is a vegan, by the way) stems from the fact that she oddly cannot stand the taste or texture of meat or animal products. Although the sight of cooked or raw meat or others eating meat or other animal products does not seem to disturb her, the instant she tastes it, she seems to have a strong dislike for it. She has often stated when asked about her diet that she thinks she is healthier and in a better mood because of her diet (which makes people wonder what she was like beforehand regarding the mood part), but that she eats it primarily because she doesn’t like the texture of animal proteins or the way they taste. She will also claim it doesn’t involve animal rights, and that she has no problem with others eating steaks, as long as they don’t make her do it.

    On rare occasions, such as during exceedingly stressful times, Rosette may be prone to either angry or irritable outbursts, or a panic attack. If she has an outburst, Rosette may behave in a way that is considered universally uncharacteristic, losing the typical refinement in her speech, and often causing her to spill out all the feelings she has about a person that are negative in nature. She will tell that person exactly how much she hates them, and what she can’t stand about them; this can happen, even if she has just met them. During panic attacks, Rosette will typically be so irrationally frightened that she might cause harm to herself, in an effort to get to another place where she can be away from other people. Often, both extreme reactions are followed by a period of complete emotional numbness, save for what one could describe as a deep sense of self-hatred.

    Hobbies/Interests: Rosette’s hobbies revolve around gathering research and organizing it into a convenient physical form, because she often finds that she prefers holding physical copies in her hands, rather than pulling up the data on a computer. Because of this, much of what occupies her living space consists of nicely-made old-fashioned-looking tomes that begin blank, although she gradually fills in the pages with information over time. She does not say what these books contain, though, despite the fact that she is frequently either filling in information, or looking for something. She has a good number of books like this that are completely full, as well as several that haven’t been properly filled in. Often, where she would get such thick books with blank pages in the first place is a mystery. Often, her best-kept secrets are in these books, and when asked about them, Rosette will reply that people would probably prefer not to know the information contained in them.

    A second hobby Rosette engages in, though with less interest or enthusiasm, is playing the piano. Although she has incredible skill in playing it, Rosette does not seem to enjoy it, although she claims that she used to. Often, she practices primarily so she does not lose the skills she has learned.

    Another noted talent is that she is oddly good at growing highly-sensitive potted plants, like orchids, carnivorous plants, or bonsai trees. It often tends to make her happy that she has the capability to do so.

    Skills/Talents: Rosette’s capability to track down, compile, and organize information is exceptional. Should she be needed for gathering intelligence on any subject matter, she is capable of hunting almost anything down, whether it is on the internet, or at a library. It is a guarantee, however, that the information will come in the form of something physical, like a set of printed pages or a notebook. You will never see a flash-drive with documents on it. Although people might be initially reluctant to talk to her, it is possible to become friends with Rosette just by giving her something to research, so long as it is not something disturbing or profane in nature.

    Additionally, while Rosette is a talented pianist, by anyone’s standards, she often does not enjoy it, though it does possess social implications. If someone else were willing to play an instrument with her, she might enjoy it more.

    She can easily care of sensitive potted plants that take considerable skill on the part of the owner to survive. Her skill has made it possible for her to keep exotic plants that most people have a tendency to accidentally kill with ease.

    Prized Possession: In her room, Rosette possesses a large set of books, and she does not allow anyone to read what is in them. She would be highly upset if they were taken. These set aside, the ring Rosette wears is also a precious artifact left to her by her grandmother. She would be deeply upset if it were taken, because of the sentimental value it holds.

    Quote(s): “I am aware that I am irrationally afraid of a lot of things, but I will not allow that to stop me. I will go find an octopus tentacle and hand it to you in person, if that is what it will take to make you believe me.”

    History/Bio: Rosette belongs to a family that is somewhat wealthier than most, although it would never be considered outright rich, such as those who are in the top 1% of America. Her family can’t afford to live in a mansion, or buy a jet plane, or have a yacht. This in mind, though, they could not be strictly identified as middle-class citizens, either. The residence where they lived, a bit of a distance from Seattle in Washington State, was pretty expensive, and so were the two cars that her family owned. Even if they weren’t associated with those of millionaire status, the Sauveterre family was very healthy from a financial standpoint. Coming from a long line of individuals in the medical profession, Rosette’s father, who was a second-generation French immigrant, had served in the United States military as an officer, having gained his commissioned status after going to medical school and becoming a surgeon. On a vacation in which Rosette’s father had traveled back to France, the country of his parent’s birth, he met Rosette’s mother, a French native, who also served in the medical field.

    Rosette grew up in a family where she was given much opportunity, and it was likely that she would break family tradition on her father’s size, and potentially become a teacher, or, (As she had hoped) a college professor. These dreams were heavily dashed when she developed her powers. She became transparent in appearance and had stopped physically aging, which would make it impossible for her to appear before normal people without seeming like a ghost. She also struggled with the darker nature of her powers, and the things that she saw when she used them. At one point, she was captured by one of them, and badly injured, before she could escape. This was what caused a strand of her hair to turn silver, and why she has scars on her body.

    Rosette’s powers caused much strife in her family, after the encounter with the creatures linked to them had been proven as real entities that could cause harm. Rosette dealt with extreme depression during the time that she had to recover from the injuries, even believing she had been cursed, at one point. Rosette’s parents, though, deeply loved their daughter, and were frightened when, at one point, their teenage daughter had seemed suicidal, so they poured many funds into making special arrangements. They were able to successfully pull Rosette out of her depression, by giving her a chance at obtaining a teaching degree, even when she was unable to appear in person. Her family was perhaps the one source of warmth that kept Rosette going until she was able to keep herself from falling apart completely. They encouraged her to go after her degree and retain interest in something, to keep herself occupied, and also encouraged her to go to the academy when she was given an invitation, as she had still been living with them, even as an adult.

    Family:

    Father- Rosette’s relationship with her father is generally better than her mother’s, as neither is very good at speaking French, despite their heritage, and half the time, they butcher the words. They both agree that Rosette’s mom can be annoying, in the sense that she will often try to correct them, even when they are just trading jokes or bits of humor, and have no need to be politically correct. Rosette was generally much more cheerful and positive around her father, and her spirits are typically uplifted when she thinks about him. Rosette’s father was an avid reader of books, hence Rosette’s preference for the physical weight of papers in her hands.

    Mother- Rosette’s mother was a very stern, mature parent, where she claims her looks and refined speech patterns came from (Because her mother spoke proper English with a French Accent, and Rosette’s father spoke with a Casual Northern Dialect, she learned to speak in a very polished fashion). Because Rosette’s mother was often a realist, and a bit of a worrywart, Rosette’s mother has indirectly taught her daughter to always make sure that she has researched and found information on her own, before believing what she is told. It is possible Rosette’s researching hobby stemmed from this. Rosette strongly loves her mother, and like her father, is more cheerful when reflecting on memories of her.

    Abilities

    Power Class: Spatial-7

    Power: Rosette’s power is unique, in that it grants her the ability to slip between the human dimension, and another one that shadows it. Because of this ‘shadowing’ quality, the alternate dimension possesses an almost completely identical appearance to the regular one, but different laws and properties. Rosette’s passive and automatic, yet no-less notable abilities, such as her lack of scent, heat signature, or even sound unless she desires the noises she produces to be heard, result from a constant state in which she is only slightly fading into the dimension, though she is tethered to the regular one enough where the laws of the regular dimension for the most-part dominate, and this fading is always indicated by Rosette’s constant transparent appearance. Rosette herself, when fading as much as she can into this dimension, can take on powers comparable to that of a ghost or phantom, becoming for the most-part invisible (aside from the faintest hint of an outline), as well as intangible, granting her the ability to walk through walls or any other solid object. She can also manipulate certain laws in this dimension, such as friction, and possibly mass, as well, though the majority of these powers do not extend to when she is visible in the human dimension. With time, it is possible that Rosette could use her ability to manipulate these forces, and gain the power to fly in the alternate dimension, although she has not yet mastered this, despite having greatly practiced her abilities, and familiarized herself with the way that they work. Rosette’s capability to remain in this dimension work as long as she can concentrate on staying in it, and therefore, she could be in the alternate dimension for a long time, as things such as gasses that a human would breathe are apparently present there. The reason Rosette can still recognize people, even when isolated in this dimension away from the regular one, is because animals and people appear as ghosts, similar to how she does in a normal state.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Rosette’s spatial powers are easily considered to be very powerful, but they also have terrible drawbacks to them that negate any sort of enjoyment that a person could receive from having them. While Rosette may do many things in the alternate dimension that she slips into, and have enough skill to maintain her presence there almost without thinking, she is not the sole inhabitant of it when she decides to fade into it. This universe is populated by an enormous number of widely unique, but extremely horrifying and powerful creatures, which, as far as Rosette can tell, cannot be killed by anything, and are capable of being an enormous size. These beasts have no discernible weak points, and from a biological or anatomical perspective, do not even make sense. They are also not fond of the intruder that has been repeatedly entering their realm over the years, and for the most part, every time they see her, they will attempt to kill her. Rosette is forced to run from these creatures, which often accumulate and swarm wherever her presence is, regardless of if she is phased into their dimension or not, because her scent, sound, and heat signature are trapped there, and therefore the creatures may track her, though they can tell when she has faded into their dimension, and when she is not (These aspects are typically stronger when she is primarily inside their dimension, only a faint scent when she is not). Although they won’t constantly swarm in the same room as her (Considering they have lives, too), they are still typically close by, and are always a threat that could very easily kill her, as in regards to fighting, she is no stronger than a typical human. Like Rosette, they have the capability to move through solid objects in this dimension, and many of them can also possess the ability to fly. Rosette’s muscle tone and apparent skill in bad situations comes primarily from running for her life and trying to escape from these creatures, although it is not possible for her to truly hide from them, as they can always find her.

    In addition to the fact that these monsters are ridiculously strong and immune to damage, a few of the larger ones are heavily suspected to actually have intelligence on par with that of a regular person, if not exceeding such things, as they frequently display such signs; though Rosette has no hope of reasoning with them. These distinct intelligent creatures are feared more greatly than those that simply mill about an area, because they are far more clever, deliberate, and skilled in hunting her, and Rosette is even capable of naming and recognizing them by their appearances. Unfortunately, because others can’t phase into this dimension, few actually believe her, and Rosette is the only one who can fight or see these creatures, or come in contact with them. Fighting, though, is not possible, and it never will be. Many of Rosette’s odd habits, phobias, and disturbed thoughts come from constant fear of these creatures when she uses her power.

    Weaknesses that are linked to Rosette’s powers, and unrelated to the monsters in her dimension include that she must consistently remember to maintain her presence in the dimension, which can eventually tire her out because of using her powers, though her endurance could increase over time. She must also consistently think about keeping her feet on the ground. In a literal sense, she is so light in this dimension, that without thinking about maintaining friction between herself and the ground, she would float into the sky and never be seen again. Her intangibility makes it impossible for her to grab or pick anything up in this dimension, and she additionally is not entirely invisible; people may notice her by a very faint outline. Also, as mentioned earlier, while Rosette may detect people because they appear as ghosts, creatures from the regular dimension have the properties Rosette does when she is not faded into hers. This means Rosette can only detect people and animals visually, as in her dimension, they possess no sound, smell, or anything else that would alert her to their presence.

    A final, and perhaps ultimate detriment to Rosette’s power unrelated to the monsters, is that people with energy-related powers (Specifically photons or light-related abilities that do not focus on matter or atoms) are capable of breaching her dimension with their abilities, making her vulnerable to their attacks, which could have very negative effects, considering that she is still basely human. Although teeth, claws, or any physical power cannot affect her, Rosette can still be grievously injured, even while intangible.

    If severely injured enough, Rosette will generally lose her concentration, and phase right back into the regular dimension. It might as well be a guarantee that she will materialize if she loses consciousness.

    Other: The books Rosette writes in are a cooperative-posting feature, in which characters may read the information that has been recorded in them.

    Basic Information

    Name: Ayumu Nakamoto
    Nickname/Alias/Etc: Ayu, Klepto
    Gender: Male
    Age: 17
    Height: 5'6”
    Weight: 147 lbs
    Status: New student

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Dark brown
    Eye Color: Black
    Ethnicity: Japanese
    Physical Appearance: Ayu is shorter than most guys his age and lanky like he still hasn’t grown into his body yet. Most of the strength he has is in his lower body and legs. Clumsy at times, he’s got a lot of old scrapes and scratches on his arms and knees from falling down. He doesn't have very broad shoulders, his arms are not muscular, and neither does he really have abs to kill for, but he makes up for his upper body flaws with his lower body advantages such as lean legs and strong calf muscles. He has a round face with a small forehead covered by his bangs. His hair is of medium length and unruly. His eyes are narrow and mono-lidded; his nose is straight and narrow. He has a small mouth and thin lips. Ayu’s skin, since he is Japanese, is pale with a yellow-tint; it is not imperfection free from old scars and scratches. He doesn't have as many common teenage problems with acne since he keeps a strick hygenic routine from the pestering of his adopted family. Overall though, he looks like a child in a teenager’s body. His features are soft and rounded, still childish even though he’s seventeen, and not seven.
    Attire: He tends to prefer preppy clothes and formal outfits. He always wears a large gray coat with the many pockets as well.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: Ayu smirks a lot. He’s charming and mischievous, but that’s only helpful so he can steal somebody’s bracelet. He makes a great first impression with everyone he meets; that is, until they realized that he just took all their jewelry. Around people, he likes to act like he’s a magician or street performer. Stealing their attention, calling it away to see only on him, narrowing that line of focus to what he wants them to notice. That’s how he manages to take things from people. Ayu’s been diagnosed with ADHD of the Predominantly Inattentive Presentation, and it shows in his personality. He’s easily distracted and attracted to shimmering things of high worth, much like a magpie. He’s forgetful and doesn't pay attention to the details of things. The people he’s interacted with in his daily life tend to hate the fact that he will ignore them when they speak to him and doesn't follow instructions. He is very disorganized to the point that he’ll lose things that he was only holding five minutes ago and does what he wants. By himself, he is a rather dorky kid as he is rather flighty and distracted easily. He flails about and hops around to a very immature degree.

    Hobbies/Interests: He’s interested in multiple things, but he tends to drop them as quickly as he finds them. The only hobby that’s stuck with him so far is playing string instruments.

    Skills/Talents: From his years in the ghetto, he has perfected his running abilities to get him out of problematic situations. He is a firm believer in running away when he encounters a problem he can't solve. He is good at turning up the charm (the childlike wonder type), and gets along with people he will never see again.

    Prized Possession: A large gray coat he has that has many small pockets.

    Quote(s):
    “Can I have this?”

    History/Bio: Ayu was taken in by the Baines family after he got caught stealing a man’s watch in the middle of a crowded street. The only reason he was caught was because he got distracted and tripped, giving his pursuers the chance to catch him.

    His parents, Osamu and Matsuyo Nakamoto, were immigrants that came to the wrong neighborhood and couldn’t adapt to the ghetto as their ten year old son could. Eventually they were simply killed, not that their son knew that. Ayu lived due to the kind people next door who took him in after checking on him. While he knew that his parents weren’t there, it simply didn’t hit him as he’d expected. He didn’t cry out, but neither was he apathetic. They were average parents and it didn’t click together in his ten year old mind that they were gone.

    Two years after being taken in by his neighbors, who never really told him their names, Ayu continued to take whatever was his fancy. He learned how to do tricks with just an old card deck and a charming smile. He stole things with a power he had since he came to America. He could make a pocket dimension and put everything he needed in there. After getting caught stealing a man’s watch at twelve years old, Social Services figured out his lack of parents and shipped him off to the only foster family who wanted to deal with him. The Baines household who already took in two other kids.

    When Ayu came to the Baines house, he was attracted to all the expensive things inside. Without thinking about the fact that his new family was watching, he picked up a charm bracelet on the table and shoved it into his pocket dimension via his actual coat pockets. Olivia was very unimpressed and told him to put it back; he pulled his pocket inside out and nothing was in it. After some studying, they realized he could create entrances into his dimensional storage anywhere he wanted since it all just ended up in the same place.

    So Ayu grew up with his dimensional storage powers in the family he grew to like. They didn’t mind the fact that he kept taking their things and only scolded him when he took other people’s things. He began showing symptoms of ADHD and was diagnosed with it a few months after he was adopted into the family. He became fast friends with Sheryl as she was quite useful in his stealing endeavors since she could replicate the object he just stole and nobody would notice. Noah and Olivia encouraged the friendship since this way wasn’t hurting anybody and still let him steal things.

    Ayu is going to Academy 218 because he can’t control his impulse to steal things and his dimensional storage powers are only helping him. He is the only one that really has to go since his parents are exasperated at the fact that he won’t stop taking the accessories from the girls at school. They also want him to have more friends. Much to his liking, they’re also making the rest of his siblings accompany him.

    Family:

    Osamu Nakamoto – Biological father
    Matsuyo Nakamoto – Biological mother
    Noah Baines – Adopted father
    Olivia Baines – Adopted mother
    Mykolas Astraukas – Adopted brother
    Renae Sciarra – Adopted sister
    Sheryl Kingsley – Adopted sister

    Relationships

    Relationships:

    Mykolas Astraukas | Good | Princess |"I'm not really into animals and plants, but he doesn't mind that I take a lot of his shiny things."
    Sheryl Kingsley | Good | Assistant | "She helps me take take things and not get caught. She's a magician's best partner."

    Abilities

    Power Class: Spatial 3
    Power: Dimensional Storage Ayu has a, what he refers to as, a pocket dimension where he can shove things inside and access them whenever he wants. He can open up the entrances to his dimension wherever he wants and close them at will. He can put items into what is, essentially, a separate dimension for safe keeping and bring them back with ease. His pocket dimension is essentially a small room that he accesses. The dimension isn't a large one, nor is it a tiny one that follows him around, but rather it's a separate room-like dimension. This would mean, all the items he gathers is just in a limited area dimension that only he has the proverbial 'key' to.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Ayu can’t put living beings in his pocket dimension. Neither can he put anything larger or heavier than himself in there. If he tries to do that, it will strain him, as if he was carrying it himself. The dimension is only so large and if he were to max out the space, he can't put anything in there until he takes things out. His dimensional storage is not his own dimension that he can just step into for safety or something, it is just a one-room dimension that cannot hold living beings.

    Name: Nicholas Philip Raynor
    Nickname/Alias/Etc: “Bible Boy” “Nick”
    Gender: Male
    Age: 15
    Height: 5'6 feet
    Weight: 140
    Status: New Student

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Dark Brown, almost Black
    Eye Color: Blue with hints of Green
    Ethnicity: Caucasian- Polish, Native American, and French are in his blood, with a light trace of Jewish.
    Physical Appearance: Nicholas is fairly average in general in terms of appearance, although he does remarkably look like the kind of guy that would be pushed around in school. He has pale white skin with some darker hues of tan around his arms and hands, possibly due to his Native American traits. His hair is curly and wild, and sometimes a mess for him to deal with, to the point where he has to keep it short for the most part, except his bangs, which he allows to curl downward, whereas the rest of his hair is kept to form a roundish-flat shape. In terms of muscularity, there's nothing remarkable here, being despite not weak, he does not regularly work out, and prefers to keep his weight down by eating properly, and because of this, his arms are fairly smooth. His head is diamond-shaped, with a short nose and shaved facial hair, giving him a clean face. His ears are fairly large and pronounced, but they do not dip, instead being curved and smooth versus sharp. His complexion holds a few moles and freckles on his cheeks, but for the most part, he looks fairly clean. His eyes are large and somewhat beady, with dark Blue eyes with hints of green hues on the edges. His jaw-line is somewhat sharp, but for the most part, it blends with his cheeks fairly well, but his chin is quite sharp, jutting out blockily quite a bit from his mostly healthy-looking face.

    Attire: Most of Nicholas' attire is mostly casual, ranging from blue jeans with a light t-shirt underneath a hoodie, to khaki shorts with a button up shirt, some times baggy, sometimes tight, it just depends on the occasion. He -does- have a few suits at his disposal, though, if ever needed. He usually totes around a backpack to keep his things in, notably.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: Nicholas is somewhat a strange, yet kind and noble fellow, but not because he dislikes talking to people. For the most part, he doesn't really fit well into being the center of attention, finding it uncomfortable or strange due to his lack of experience, and so often will prefer one on one conversations with people rather than conversing with a group. However, that's not to say he's incapable, but it is surely his preference to -not- take on the pressures. Despite this, he does enjoy conversing to people and making a joke here and there, but not all the time, more-so discussing topics of interest as well as philosophical or social concepts. Because of this, he can come off as older than he actually is. Inwardly, Nicholas is a silently but desperately frustrated with people picking on him and calling his faith stupid, but often unsure of how to even begin to liberate himself of these insults, and as such, often distracts himself with other hobbies. Because of this, he can sometimes find himself stricken with fear of being shot down or made fun of because of his faith, and sometimes studies in private out of fear, though he has ways to temper that fear. Despite this, if someone inquires, he will happily share his faith, and he is quite open to sharing his feelings if the person he's talking to is gentle enough that he has faith that they won't betray his weakness. But beyond all this, deep inside of his hidden thoughts, a silent sense of right and wrong reigns, and because of that, his mind has a rather moral sense to it. Because of this, if he -does- see something wrong going on, in his mind, he knows its wrong, so he keeps from doing it, but out of fear, he keeps from interfering most of the time, due to inner fear, unless it involves bullying another student. This doesn't ignore his natural emotions, though, there are times that he will feel wronged by those who he trusts, or just cut out of a group for being different. If that is the case, he will often pull inward and distant from others for a short time.

    Hobbies/Interests: Unsurprisingly, Nicholas is largely a Christian, and his interests involve studying the Bible and the character studies of the characters from said book. At the same time, however, he does enjoy looking at art, cooking, and video games, especially.
    Skills/Talents: Nicholas is a wiz kid at playing video games, and is usually capable of finishing them in record time, not that he makes a habit out of it. Furthermore, despite not having an extreme interest in it, he is quite good at playing the acoustic guitar, even doing so at times where he would feel depressed in the past. He also has a small amount of mixed martial arts training he garnered in his free time for the sake of self defense.
    Prized Possession: His Holy Bible, unsurprisingly. He keeps it hidden in his backpack usually.
    Quote(s): “Em, hey, are you guys sure about this?”

    History/Bio: Nicholas was brought up in a middle-class family that were mostly well-to-do due to his father being busy with his flooring business. Because of this, in his younger years, he was home-schooled by his mother, who was a deeply spiritual Christian and imprinted on Nicholas a great deal of his beliefs, being taught, alongside his younger and older sisters, everything implied by the Bible. Because he was home-schooled, he spent a great deal of his time alone, playing video games and just being a normal, average kid. However, his sisters were often harsher to him than his mother as, being the middle child and the only son, his mother defended him when the two of them would argue with him, and as a result, they began to pick on him and insult him. This strengthened in frequency as he got older, and around ten, he became notably lonely. Because of this, his mother enlisted him in a public school rather than home-school him, seeing it as a proper opportunity for him to make some friends. It was anything but. Being home-schooled and believing everything he had been told as a young boy, he found himself in situations where he was beaten up and picked on because he refused to shut up or back down. This resulted in him becoming much more reserved in presenting his beliefs, keeping silent more. But the beatings didn't stop, and he was often criticized for often interfering with activities that he considered wrong, especially involving bullying other students. Despite this, he gained a steady, small group around him for the students he did defend, and he found himself not -quite- as lonely, and because of this, he found himself motivated to stand up for more students against local bullying. It seemed things had changed for the better.

    That was before something happened. At fourteen years of age, Nicholas was doing his typical routine. Reading his Bible in the corner of the lunch room, keeping to himself. Then a group settled beside him, staring at him silently. He didn't look at them, being too caught up in the book...too caught up to notice one of them reaching for it. It wasn't long before it was stripped from his hands, and quickly passed to another of the students, before the students dragged Nicholas outside. It was then Nicholas recognized this group. They were the typical jock folk, looking a bit older than the kids he was used to seeing around this time. Probably sixteen, seventeen years old. Moments later, they were out behind the school, no one else was around, as it wasn't recess, after all. It was there that Nicholas saw it, his bible, in the hands of one of the older boys. He pulled out a lighter, and in a sinister smirk, caught it aflame, throwing it to the ground, before walking up to Nicholas and proceeding to beat him brutally. Nicholas anger, which usually was kept silent, burnt angrily. He didn't do -anything- wrong. And that Bible meant a lot to him. He had kept it since he was young, and to him, it was incredibly important, not as just holy scripture, but something...more. A way for him to pull away from the chaos of life. With that, and with his own anger brimming from being beaten so brutally, something changed. White flames took hold of his hands as his anger took on physical form, and despite the searing pain they caused him, they forced those who were holding onto him to let go, before he outright ran towards the fellow who had burnt his bible, slamming his right fist into face and breaking his nose in one simple punch, and downing him in one stroke as the flames soon ceased. His hands were burnt terribly, and he yelled out in pain as he fell onto the ground, his hands having turned a charcoal brown color. The other students watched in awe, some fearful of dealing with a boy who could conjure flame so quickly and violently. In the back of his mind, the young Nicholas wished he had never gotten so angry, and hadn't hurt himself so badly. That his hands didn't hurt so damn much. And then the flames raged again...but this time, it was different. They were soothing, and within seconds, his hands were painless. Furthermore, he felt something...strange, overtake his mind. He wasn't sad, or angry anymore, or...at least, not as much. He felt...strong. He was able to look at the situation clearly, as if the sting from the personal wound didn't hurt as bad. He looked at the student he had hurt in anger, laying on the ground and holding his nose in pain. He remembered all of the teachings he had been taught, about doing good unto others. To love others as yourself. What kind of hypocrite would he be if he didn't act in the same fashion? And within a second, he reached out, a flicker of a flame reaching out and covering the young man's face, and within seconds, healing the fellow out of guilt for him, though it was with some hesitance.

    This became public news quite easily, as by the time this was over, teachers had arrived. Parents argued about having such a dangerous individual at the school, and eventually, Nicholas withdrew from the school, taking on home-schooling and studying of his own volition. A few months later, and a letter came in from Academy 218, offering him schooling there. He hadn't heard about it, but his father told him that it was a prestigious Academy for people just like himself. He quickly stated his confirmation to go.

    And now, six months later, he leaves home, and now makes his way to the new school, probably a -little- late in the semester, but he didn't care. He was just happy to be going somewhere he didn't have to be judged so badly. He already had enough of that.

    Abilities

    Power Class: Elemental/Cerebral/Other 5
    Power: Flames of Hope - These flames are not true flames, but rather, flames that are manifested from Nicholas' own subconscious, and because of this, though they bear similarities, it is not true fire. Because of this, in its natural state, these flames do not burn. Quite the opposite, actually, for Nicholas can use them to heal those around him. The amount of healing is determined by Nicholas' himself, and beyond that, the flames do more than just heal physically. They also raise the morale level of those who are touched by the flames, causing them to feel braver, stronger, and perhaps give them much less of a chance to be crippled by fear when things go to shit. However, when Nicholas gets exceptionally angry, another state takes hold. The flames become destructive and are extremely hot, even more-so than normal flames, causing him to burn most objects capable of being burned with fire easily. It is notable that because these are not true flames, in its healing form, these flames cannot be put out by water or smothered.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:

    First: Range. Due to how Nicholas power works, it can only be initiated if either he or his flames can reach a person, and Nicholas can only toss them a finite distance, about 10 feet or so.

    Second: Excessive Use. Excessively using his healing properties too much in a single sitting can outright begin to damage his own body. Albiet, at a slower rate than his offensive flames would, but prolonged exposure to this over-used state can result in temporary or permanent damage to his hands and to any other part of his body in contact with the flame.

    Third: Offensive Flame. Because of how they are influenced by his rage, they know neither friend from foe. In this state, any of his flames that touch himself will burn just as bad as if they touched anything that has incited his anger, leaving him completely vulnerable to let his own anger burn him to ashes if he does not get it under control. Furthermore, if his arms are held during this state, his abilities are -useless-, being he cannot move the flames with his mind alone.

    Fourth: Himself. If he cannot hold a high enough confidence when using the morale-based part of the flame on others, it will be ineffectual.

    Basic Information

    Name: Jago Andrew Javuant
    Nickname/Alias/Etc:
    Gender: Male
    Age: 14
    Height: 5'7
    Weight: 123
    Status: Full Student (Second year)

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Black
    Eye Color: Brown
    Ethnicity: African-American
    Physical Appearance: A very youthful and proud teen. Jago has the looks of an outgoing person, the kind of kid that spends plenty of time outside and doing things rather than lazing around the house. Hell, someone could say that he has the looks of an adventurer. But he tends to have the young relaxed teen vibe most of the time. Moving around and walking with confidence and a cocky swagger. He's rather tall for his age, standing shoulders above other teens at a solid 5'7. His build is very thin and waifish, he's skinny, but he has a bit of muscles. Not the "I lift" kind of muscles, but more of the "I run, and do gymnastics" muscles. His arms and legs are particularly muscular - another thing I should note about them is that they're long, they make up a bit of his height. However, the boy has been hitting the gym quite often in hopes of getting ripped. They're hard to notice unless he takes off his clothes and shows some skin. Speaking of skin; Jago is obviously African-American. He has a chocolate brown skin color, tanned from spending plenty of time in the sun. His face is coated with some dark freckles. Free from blemishes and acne - but he has plenty of scars coating his skin from rough play. His appearance clearly implies he's been during various activities, but clearly rough-housing. His crooked nose was broken in fights fairly frequently and just never healed right. Along with a few scars here and there - mostly around his knees from tripping - he's clearly been in some stuff. Going back to Jago's African-American heritage, his facial features are structured very much like African-Americans. His skull shape, thick lips, and hair-texture give this away. Jago's facial features are rounded and smooth - blending seamlessly with each other - along with a rectangle shaped head. His chin is small, and square, blending into his sharp jawline very well. His nose is medium sized, with two large nostrils and a thick nose bridge, and like it's been stated before, is quite crooked. He has large lips, along with a wide mouth. His ears are small, yet quite round. Jago's eyes are small, usually giving off a lazy, bored look, or a fierce, determined, confident, glare. One thing Jago has been notable for is his thick, straight, dark-black hair color. It's a usually wild hair-style, since he keeps them all in shoulder-length, thick, dreadlocks. They move and flow just as he does.

    Attire: Jago's attire, and style, varies depending on his mood. He's definitely not the type to dress to impress. He likes practicality in his attire. He dresses lightly in outfits that allow freedom of movement so he can perform his acrobatics. Such as wearing sweat pants and shirts. So his attire varies.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: A young, impetuous, kid. A lot of words can be used to describe Jago. Arrogant, cocky, proud, confrontational... are just among some of them. He acts loudly and proud, and it's clear to the people he meets that he is some kind of badass. Talking like everyone is below him, or simply worthless - talking himself up to be some champion. Merely because he thinks that most people are annoying and simply not worth his time. Usually he tends to act like the cool kid, the one that barely cares and does whatever he pleases. Jago casually throws insults, snarky remarks at people and taunts - bordering on bullying. Jago is the kind of kid that would spit in the face of authority and act wildly out of control. This is apart of his young, impulsive, attitude. He breaks the rules casually, and treat authority figures like they're nothing. Stealing, breaking things, and fighting people aren't below him. However, he will play along with their rules until they get into his way. Jago is very easy to annoy, and temperamental. People who annoy him will get the blunt of his insults. Sometimes he'll single out these people and prank them. Doing whatever he can to demean them for his own amusement. Jago is very quick to anger, and when he gets angry, he acts rashly, and certainly isn't afraid to escalate things from throwing insults to throwing punches. However, he tends to act aggressively people that are his own level physically. While he isn't afraid to step up to someone who's larger and older than him, he tends to rely on peer pressure to carry him through those situations. And let whatever happens, happen - even if he loses. It's easy to say that he isn't the brightest kid. Acting on impulse (or with his dick) tends to get him in quite a few sticky situations. Very rarely does he learn unless the lesson is pounded into his skull through brute force (Specifically a good asskicking). However, he tends to act far more cold and closed off when around strangers, or when he's not in the mood to be bothered.

    Innately, Jago is afraid of being weak, being useless. Which is why he acts all proud, aggressive, and rebellious - he wants the world to know that he isn't weak or a coward and will do anything to appear otherwise. He's convinced that strength, pride, and status is the only thing that matters, and the only thing he needs. While longing for something more. Jago is desperate to become a strong and capable badass that doesn't take shit from anyone. When in reality, he's just a kid acting like one - and he knows this. He's especially afraid of failing in the moments he really needs to succeed, or just not being good enough. He believes that he's alone in the world, and that no one can possibly help him. Which is why he has to get strong enough to help himself. Jago absolutely hates it when he has to rely on other people, or someone else has to come and save him. Morality-wise, he doesn't have too much of them. He isn't out to help the world, nor is he out to destroy it. He's simply there and is only interested in himself, and protecting the people he cares about. That said, there is some justice in his heart.

    Skills/Talents: Jago has quite a few. His most obvious skill is that he's very agile and fast because of his acrobatic, and gymnastic training. He can climb, is very quick on his toes, and is very acrobatic. Jago is also exceptionally skilled at playing basketball, and has played a little bit of soccer. Jago has also taken an interest in arts. He's still green, but he is taking classes in drawing, sculpting, woodwork, and even knitting. He's very creative, perceptive, and intelligent for a child his age. He doesn't match someone who's older, but it's still surprising. Jago has also taken to skateboarding.

    Prized Possession: N/A

    Quote(s): "A wise man told me that when putting others first; they know you just come second."

    History/Bio: I'm going to save his history exactly for the IC, but I'll go into a few things. Jago didn't exactly have the luxury of growing up in a posh, or even middle-classed home, he lived in the ghetto. Still, he lived there happily as he could, growing and developing. However, after an incident at home, he developed his powers, along with his father going to prison. That's when his life took a turn for the worse. However, help came when his cousin, Deborah Termellio, arranged for him to come to the island as a full student. He got into trouble here and there, but he certainly adjusted.

    Abilities

    Power Class: Cerebral 6

    Power: Jago has two abilities that are Telekinetic in nature. Whenever he uses either ability, he is surrounding in a aura. Both abilities require movement of his hands.

    Telekinetic Barriers. Jago has the ability to create telekinetic barriers with little energy or focus as far as the eye can see. Jago's barriers are translucent, dark-purple or blue, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Though, Jago is more specialized in creating walls, he can create curved walls, or spheres. He can't move them, the barriers are effectively stationary (Though, they can be moved with enough strength) until he becomes more refined in them, but he can create floating shields just fine. He can control what goes through them. For example, he can make it so that people can attack from inside his shields, or render them inaccessible from both sides. These force-fields have varying levels of durability, all depending on how much effort he puts into it. They can be enough to block a person, or stop an augmented punch from a super-strong meta. Though, the more pressure they're put under, the harder it is it for him to keep them going. Right now, Jago can only create bouncy, flexible shields. If his shields were hit by anything, they would deform, and Jago would be able to bounce it back, with a variety of other uses. Bouncy shields are a bit harder to destroy than his other shields because they're far more shock absorbent. He's working on creating traditional, "solid" shields by gaining a higher degree of control. He will be able to learn how to create reflecting, and deflecting shields with time. In regards to energy, or non-physical, attacks, Jago's shields block simply them regardless of the type of shield he has deployed, and they cause no deformations in his shields. One technique he believes he can do is that he can wrap his barriers around his limbs, to create an armor around himself. Bringing his durability up a bit. There are plenty more techniques he can come up with as he becomes better at controlling his ability, but it's more of a creativity kind of thing. He just needs to think outside the box with his power, and he can possibly become more dangerous than anyone else.

    Telekinesis. Jago has recently developed a low-grade form of telekinesis, and the epiphany that his power is truly telekinetic in nature. Though, this doesn't really work like the old "I focus on that object then I move it" deal, his power isn't strong enough to accomplish that yet. At the moment, his power is more on augmenting himself and his controlling own movements. Such as, levitation/flight, defying gravity (Walking on walls), putting more force behind his punches, enhancing his strength, running faster, enhanced balance, and so on. Though, Jago has learned that he can make other objects float, and even when they have objects on them. While in a floating state, it's almost like they're weightless. They can be freely moved by outside force. Such as making a ball float and smacking it across the room. The most he can lift up without strain is a good 200lb. This ability will eventually develop into full-on telekinesis, traditional telekinesis in fact. He just needs to work on it with time.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: The first problem Jago has is concentration. All of his abilities rely on focus and concentration. Break it, and all uses of Jago's power will be cancelled. There's the given weaknesses of larger and more durable his shields, the more effort it'll take to keep them going. However, Jago technically has no limit to how many shields he can put up at a time, but it comes down to a quality vs quantity thing. The more shields he has up, the less overall durability they'll have (Depends on size and durability). Putting constant pressure on Jago's shields is dangerous. While he can make them quite durable, the more pressure they're put under, the harder it'll be for Jago to keep them going. However, "constant pressure" means a lot of really hard hits coming on it at once. For example, a really strong punch won't cause any extra effort, but a barrage from anything stronger than a .40 Cal will make it harder for Jago to keep it going. It's also possible to break them if they get hit with more than what they can take. While his flexible shields are more durable than other types of shields, they have a few more disadvantages of their own. If Jago (Or anyone else) is too close to the shield after they take a heavy hit, the excess force may whip back and hit someone behind the shield. Bouncing attacks off his shields might also be hazardous for everyone else. Bullets might hit someone. He has a bit of a disadvantage in long term fights. Overusing his abilities (Or maintaining a single use for too long) causes his body to receive damage and degrade over times. This in the way of him bleeding out of every orifice, awful headaches, weaker bones, and at it's most extreme; brain damage and failing organs.

    Appearance

    Black

    Eye Color
    Blue-Gray

    Ethnicity
    Canadian, Caucasian

    Physical Appearance
    Kade is a fair skinned girl. She has amethyst purple eyes which is really her most striking feature. Her raven black hair reaches just past her shoulders, she usually wears it in a simple pony tail. She has a few tattoos on her body, all of them are symmetrical and show balance, her most notable one is a Yin Yang symbol on the nape of her neck. Otherwise, she seems quite normal, relatively speaking. Kade has some scars on her body, she has one just above her Yin Yang tattoo, running horizontally a couple of inches across the back of her neck. She has another running along her left calf. The third scar is situated on her left shoulder which looks like a puncture wound rather than a cut, there is a matching scar on the other side of her shoulder. Running along the scar on her calf, is a tattoo of a thorny vine coiling around it, tipped off with a black and white rose. She usually keeps her fingernails short, and painted purple. Kade wears piercings along her left and right ears, they are symmetrical except that her right contains a clear white gemstone and the left contains an obsidian black stone. She also a piercing in her belly button, featuring another yin yang symbol. She has a small birthmark on the small of her back, it's pigment is close to that of the rest of her skin, but if one were to really look, they would spot it. She is a smaller girl, a little on the short side but definitely not a pushover. She has toned muscles thanks to her rock climbing, giving her an athletic form.



    Attire
    Kade has two preferred types of clothing. One is loose fitting and doesn't really do much to show off her feminine features, they include baggy pants, hoodies and skate shoes. The appearance is quite tomboyish. The other preference is clothing best suited for hiking and travelling, shorts, tank tops and hiking shoes. Most of her clothes are black and white, but she has a couple purple articles here and there.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality
    To others, Kade is an outgoing and welcoming person. She tries to always drag people along on her adventures which are not always the safe. She never likes being alone for too long, always wanting to surround herself around others. Kade is often trying to get into places she's not supposed to be, or leaving school grounds past curfew. Internally, Kade tries to maintain a balance in her lifestyle. She is a firm believer in karma, and doesn't like to test its limits. If she does something bad, she tries to reciprocate it with something good. If she does something good, she uses it as a sort of 'get out of jail free card' to do something not so good. She is sometimes playful a little too adventurous, and at other times, she is shy and nervous. Since she has a sort of good/bad pattern in her lifestyle, people who catch on can easily manipulate her. If they know she did a good deed, they can find themselves easily convincing her to break some rules. Since she prefers balance, Kade is not the type to take a side in a fight or argument.

    Hobbies/Interests
    Kade enjoys playing the good old bar game, Pool. She has grown quite fond of 8-Ball. Other hobbies include exploring the Inverse, finding interesting little places that would otherwise be inaccessible. She doesn't do this often, however, for fear of ashing. Kade also enjoys rock climbing and if she isn't using her down time doing either of the two other things she enjoys, she can be found climbing something somewhere.

    Skills/Talents
    Kade is very good at her hobby of playing pool. She has built up a bit of a reputation. Kade's unruly acts of sneaking out when she shouldn't has made her quite good at sneaking. She is naturally light footed, making her quiet as she moves. Kade is just as sure footed as she is light footed thanks to rock climbing.

    Prized Possession
    Kade adores her custom pool cue. It is a simple black and white cue stick with a yin yang symbol on the back of it.

    Quote(s)
    "Tick tock. Up down. Left Right. Straight and Back. Everything is a blur."

    History/Bio
    When Kade was ten years old, she discovered she had the unique power to shift between worlds. Her first discovery was when she had a nightmare and tried to escape. When she woke up, she immediately noticed something was wrong when the small fountain in the corner of her bedroom was flowing backward, up into the spout, out the drain and into the pool. She looked out her bedroom window and saw the trees in her backyard were all just roots sprouting from the ground and coiling around things. The pool was now just an elevated concrete platform out of the ground. The small mound in the corner of her backyard was a recession into the ground. Kade had entered a world known as the inverse, a direct opposite of the real world that she called the verse. Nobody was around, it was just her and the backward world. At least, she thought she was alone. In her neighbors backyard, she heard movement. Afraid of what it might be, but too curious to stay away, she investigated. When she saw her neighbor simply doing yard work, she called out to him.

    Getting the old man's attention, he assured her there was nothing to be afraid about. He first explained what was happening, where they were and how she got there. The neighbor had made the connection that Kade had been subject to the Black Fall Effect, being the man's neighbor was probably close enough to receive the power. He explained that the inverse was no place for the unprepared, and shifted her back to the verse with him. She found herself standing in his backyard with him. Looking back into her backyard, the pool was in the ground, the mound was no longer a recess and the trees were standing high in the sky.

    She thanked the neighbor for helping her get back and went back inside her home. She fell asleep and didn't suffer from any nightmare after that. The next day, on a weekend, she decided to visit with the neighbor. She wanted to learn more about the inverse and she knew the man had the answers she was looking for. Throughout the day, he told her the basics and the important stuff. That shifting and maintaining her presence in the inverse is a dangerous act. Every second spent in the inverse brings her closer to ashing quicker than anything he knew of. He told her that bringing people to the inverse accelerated that, so she needed to keep her business in the parallel world brief.

    Kade began hiding behind the excuse that she was doing household chores for her neighbor. So that she could learn about the inverse and make the occasional excursion into the opposite world. She grew close to the neighbor, learning what she could from somebody who had had the power since he was very young. When her grades in school began to slip, her parents decided to see what was really happening. They stopped by and found that nobody was home. Immediately assuming the worst, they called the police. When the two of them returned from the inverse, it wasn't long before the police arrested the man for 'kidnapping' Kade. Weeks passed before his court date came around, but he never showed up. Kade had thought that maybe he shifted to the inverse and remained there where he would ash. But she never found out if that was true or not.

    When Kade was thirteen, she decided to tell her parents the truth. That the neighbor in fact hadn't kidnapped her, that the he was teaching her about her power. She revealed it to them, bringing them to the inverse with her to prove his innocence. What followed was a sort of shame. Her parents thought she wasn't human, and seemed to have distanced themselves from her. A few weeks after revealing her secret, they announced that she was going to be sent to an academy for people like her. The day she left, her parents disowned her. It left Kade in shambles. She didn't know if it was because they thought she wasn't human for having the powers that she had or if they were just afraid of what Kade could do with them.

    Kade arrived at Academy 218 as a quiet and depressed young girl. With no parents and no friends, she felt alone. Her first year at the academy was hard for her. People thought she was creepy for hardly talking and they had made up stories for why her parents had rejected Kade. It wasn't until one day she snapped and brought a bully with her to the inverse, telling him that she could outlive him in this world. She brought him back an hour later after the bully was begging for forgiveness. After that, Kade earned a sort of respect for taking on the bully and making him fear her. Her confidence had seen an improvement after she stood up for herself too. People decided that they didn't want to end up being left in the strange world Kade had access to, and decided to befriend her out of both fear and admiration.

    By the time Kade was fifteen, she had established herself and was just like any other student. She was just good enough to make people like her and appreciate her help, but had teenage rebelliousness in her that made her fun to be around. She was a very balanced person inside and out. One thing her neighbor had taught her is that being balanced in body and mind slowed the inevitable ashing in the inverse. She countered her good deeds with not so good deeds and vice versa to keep herself on that fine line.

    As Kade got older and more freedoms were granted, she started to find a liking for rock climbing. She knew that if she could climb well, she could reach places in the inverse that earned her access to other places in the verse. She practiced out in the woods when she had the chance, bringing her friends along so she wouldn't be alone if she got injured, which she did on a few occasions. Kade had her fair share of falls, but one was bad enough to hospitalize her for a couple of weeks. A thick and sturdy branch pierced through her shoulder, a jagged rock tore her leg open and another had just barely missed her spinal cord at the back of her neck. Thanks to the powers the doctors had, she was able to make a recovery without the cost of any limbs. But the scars remained, something the doctor said she should keep to remind her that she needed to be more careful.

    Kade is eighteen now and she is constantly looking for people to come exploring the island with her. Sometimes, she will bring a friend to the inverse to show them some places in the verse that are hard to reach. Her adventurous spirit was never dented by her climbing accident, it was actually strengthened. Living off her previous mistakes, she carefully and skillfully explores the verse and the inverse.

    Shannon Balore || Neutral || Acquaintance - "Not much I can say about her. I've met her once or twice, said 'hi' whenever we pass in the hallways. She seems like a likable person. I should ask if they want to do something somewhere at sometime."

    Deborah Termellio || Neutral || Known to her, should be careful? - "She hangs out with Shannon, and I don't really know much about her. I see her around with Valjean a lot, maybe if I got to know her through Shannon, she might be as bad as her company."

    Aileen O'Reilly || Neutral || Apparently Kade's new roommate - "I've seen her around a few times. The plant body is kinda weird and the army of plant minions are even weirder. Oh... And she's also a lightbulb."

    More to be added as RP progresses.

    Abilities

    Power Class
    Spatial - 6

    Power
    Kade has the ability to shift between the material plane and an ethereal plane she calls the Inverse. Everything is the opposite in the Inverse. Light becomes dark and dark becomes light. Day time in the verse, reflects as night time in the inverse. Up is down, and down is up. Man made architecture isn't inverted, it remains the same as it is in the verse. Trees in the verse are flipped, showing the twisting and coiling roots coming from the ground instead. Water flows backwards, sometimes leading up instead of down. Waterfalls are all examples of up flowing water. The Inverse allows Kade to reach otherwise inaccessible places with relative ease, such as getting past the wall after curfew. She can bring others to the inverse with her if she is in physical contact with another, when she shifts back to the verse, anybody who traveled with her are brought back as well, no physical contact required. Being in the inverse taxes her body, she can experience ashing at an accelerated rate if she doesn't have the energy to maintain her presence in the inverse. Constantly switching between the two planes is also a very tiring ordeal if she switches more than two people. If she is too tired, she can't switch at all, trapping her in whichever plane she is in until she can regain her energy. People who are shifted to the inverse with Kade need to be careful, they too can also ash as a quicker rate, but not as much as Kade as she is the one holding their presence. The more people she shifts into the inverse, the quicker she can tire out.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks
    (They are written above, but here are the weaknesses in point form.)
    - Heavily taxing on Kade if she is shifting more than two people (herself included)
    - Kade can become trapped in whichever plane she is in if she lacks the energy to shift.
    - While within the inverse, Kade's energy will be sucked out of her. If too much is lost, she will slowly start to ash. The effects are minimized if she maintains a balance in her lifestyle, but it is ultimately inevitable.
    - Kade is a bridge between the verse and the inverse. Anybody who travels to the inverse with her can experience the same effects of accelerated ashing, but not at the rate Kade can experience it at.
    - The more people Kade brings with her into the inverse, the less amount of time they have to stay in it, as it becomes more taxing on Kade. If she gets too worn out, she can not shift back, which can potentially lead her to ash.
    - Being injured can significantly shorten the time that is safe within the inverse.
    - Shifting between the two worlds can be disorienting as the time of day is reversed and all the directions are swapped. Upon shifting, Kade loses her focus as her body adjusts, this effect can last anywhere to a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes depending on where she is and her condition when she shifts.
    - While she can do it, Kade chooses not to shift when in or on a man made structure. The terrain flips but the structures don't, if she isn't careful, she can shift into an inverted rock or mound. If she needs to, she'll make sure the area around is clear of such possibilities before shifting.

    Physical Appearance:Aileen’s body has mutated from what was once human to something that gradually became more and more plant-like. Despite her plant body, she’s got several human body features left, making her a combination of both instead of having the one being dominant. Her skin is a dark green shade and her hair consists of red petals in a long falling hairstyle. The skin has got a leafy feel to it when touched, but it could pass as body paint if someone were simply using their eyes. She’s a beauty of nature now, but during puberty when she underwent the majority of this transformation she didn’t dare look herself in the mirror. Aileen’s figure has got an attractive hourglass shape. She isn’t used to receiving compliments on her looks though, and she doesn’t like it much either. She is somewhat athletic and tall.

    Her eyes are cold and blue, often with a look that seems like it would be able to stare holes through people. Her lips are full and a darker red than her hair. She wishes she could get tattoos, use makeup or do more with her hair, but her plant body doesn’t allow her to do any of it. She makes up for it by having a number of piercings. She’s got two in her nose (one across her nose bridge and one in her septum), one in her lower lip and three smaller ones in her left eyebrow. It’s almost impossible to tell Aileen’s country of origin based on her looks. It’s clear she isn’t Asian, but anything else could be plausibility. Her voice gives it away though, as her dialect is typically Irish.

    Attire: Aileen happily wears any colours that aren’t green or red. She likes white the most, and often wears a white skirt with a black top, or simply a white dress. They’re long, reaching past her knees or longer. Sometimes she’ll wear more average, gender-neutral clothes like a pair of pants and a shirt. Her clothes are feminine, but never too
    revealing or too tight as she doesn’t want to be thought of as easy or worse. She wears suits during formal occasions. Since her transformation she stopped using shoes in most situations, as her feet are rather hardy and warm without them anyway. Her clothes are from expensive and well-known brand names. She’s got a leather purse and a black cane with a golden top. Aileen doesn’t wear any other jewellery than her piercings which are made out of silver.

    Personality Outward & Innate Personality: Aileen is energetic, wild and one of those who always seem to be up to no good. She made it into a game with her old roommate to break the rules and get away with it. It got out of hand and they were separated based on suspicions. Concrete evidence of her mischief can be difficult to get. It helps to have minions to clean up after you. She has problems with authority figures, especially when they start bothering her for something she did or did
    not do. She isn’t necessarily evil though, but more someone who thinks too highly of herself and how she is above following silly rules. She’d stick by her friends and not harm someone unless given a good reason too. That said, she would bring down the fury of the heavens on anyone who did give her a good reason.

    On the inside, she’s uncertain of herself, especially when it comes to her powers and her appearance. She’s not the most confident and hasn’t ever been, but she hides it behind a cocky attitude, worrying that people may find out how weak she actually feels. She would like to find someone to relate too and share something special with, but kind of keeps giving up on people too early to develop a deeper relationship. She used to be on medication for anxiety and depression, but she’s stopped even if perhaps she shouldn’t have. The sun and the moon does seem to have some effect on her mood.

    Hobbies/Interests: Aileen loves being outside, especially when it’s sunny. She’s also fond of creating things. She’s a new member of both the outdoors club and the music club, as it allows her to do these two interests of hers. Other interests of hers are pranks, irish culture, animals, plants, theatre, tanning, drawing and so on. She likes most creative hobbies.

    Skills/Talents: She's creative, and talented when it comes to sculpting in particular. She has got green fingers. Aileen can play a number of instruments, but she's better at singing, even if her main instrument is the saxophone. She was taught by her father how to fish and survive in the wild.

    Prized Possessions: Yuyu, one of her oldest minions.

    Abilities

    Power Class:
    Cosmic 6
    Plant 5

    Power: -Botanist:
    Aileen's main power allows her to create sentient plants out of sunlight. She can store the sunlight within her own body to create her plants when she needs them. A few of these plants can have special characteristics, like for example shooting seeds or exploding. The special and stronger plants requires a larger amount of sunlight during their creation.

    She's got a few different fields that she uses these sentient plants for. The soldiers are generally fast to create, decent in battle, but dumb and disobedient. The minions helps her with simple tasks, does what they're told and are similar to pets in their behaviour, but they won't fight, nor does she really want them too. The specials include the strongest and brightest ones who are unique from each plant to the other with different abilites, personalities and purposes.

    The soldiers can aid in fights if they understand who their targets are. Sometimes they get confused about what is an enemy and what is an ally. They do not get much taller than 1 m. They use their hands, feet and their vines to attack. They can be made of any plant material. Aileen creates her plants by focusing solar energy into some kind of grass, plant, flower or bush. They are green, and look like imps, but with blue flowers as heads.

    The minions are the same size as the soldiers and created in a similar fashion, but they're not as strong. They aid Aileen with simple every day tasks, like cleaning, taking out the trash, carrying her books and so on. They're similar to well trained pets who likes their owner, when it comes to personality. They are rather cute, as that what Aileen wants them to be, with a lot of colourful flowers on them and chubby bodies.

    The specials are unique. They come in sizes from smaller than the two other types to larger than a human. They vary in colour and shapes, even if most of their bodies are green. They can be large plants with numerous vines, meat eating flowers, or small ones that spread certain smells. The smells can attract or scare people away when they smell bad. They are more capable, clever and stronger than the other two. None of them act or look alike unless Aileen created them to be alike. They're mainly made of a large amount of stored solar energy, but in a similar way to the other two. It takes more time to make them too.

    -Plant body: It's mainly something that relates to her appearance, doesn't have any benefits over being human, but lets her absorb the solar energy better.

    -Solar Manipulation: Aileen can use the solar energy in more ways than to create sentient plants. She can release solar energy in concentrated forms, like beams, to use in offensive ways. The sunlight she stores can also blind people temporarily if she unleashes the luminosity of it, supercharge solar powered objects and keep her warm when it's freezing cold where she is.

    -Solar Empowerment: Aileen becomes stronger when the sun is shining. She feels and thinks better. Her reactions becomes faster and she can use her powers for longer, more advanced tasks. On those days she doesn't need to eat or drink as much, as she draws sustance from the sun.

    Future/Not yet discovered.

    -Pure Solar Manipulation:
    Aileen could potentially learn to manipulate the sun's healing and purifying energies. She could heal herself with it, and others, but mostly plant life. It's purifying energy would repel darkness and be effective against those powers who may be drawing energy from it.

    -Solar Constructs:
    Another hidden ability that Aileen doesn't know about herself, but that she may be able to unlock is that she could turn solar energy into barriers, objects and golems.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Aileen is particularly weak against fire, as her body is more plant than human. She believes her powers are mainly focused on nature and plants, which isn't the case. It blocks her from achieving her true potential, unless she realizes that her power has more to do with the sun than nature. She doesn't do well against cold or heat either, but she's at least able to defend herself slightly better against those than against fire. She needs to drink more water than other humans and most metas. Her powers are all reliant on the sun and her ability to store sunlight within her own body. The longer she goes without sunlight the weaker her powers becomes until she's almost unable to use them. She has to keep this in mind and sometimes use the stored sunlight sparingly. However, on a sunny day, she would be able to draw energy straight from the sun. Her body may help her pick up the energy from the sun easier, but it also makes her weaker to her own power. It happens that her powers flares out of control, especially if she were to store sunlight past her limit. Aileen is weak towards the moon too, as it is a kind of opposite to her own real power, which may manifest itself in how her sunlight drains faster during the nights when the moon is in the sky and how she may become sick if staying in moonlight for too long.

    Basic Information

    Name: Francis Abelard
    Nickname: None
    Gender: Male
    Age: 16
    Height: 5’6
    Weight: 150lb
    Status: New Student

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Black
    Eye Color: Hazel
    Ethnicity: Caucasian

    Physical Appearance: Francis’ short height and thin body makes him look like a freshman from high school. If one actually saw his face they might consider him to be a middle-schooler. His curly hair is ruffled and is never combed given that he wears a beanie all the time. His skin is pasty-white from being kept indoors as a kid. He has several burn-scars on the tip of his fingers.

    Attire: The first thing anyone will see when Francis is walking down the road is that he is completely covered up. He wears blue track pants, an overly large brown field jacket, and his hair is covered by a yellow beanie. His eyes are concealed by thick sunglasses. His hands are covered by black gloves with a golden letter “A” inscribed on their palms. He will occasionally put on small earphones. His entire wardrobe is filled with copies of this exact same outfit.

    Personality

    Outward: Francis is shy and is lacking in his social-skills. He doesn’t quite understand social customs or boundaries. He generally keeps to himself and doesn’t answer questions in class unless directly asked.

    Inward: Despises having his power be restrained. However, he is terrified of hurting other people with it. The one thing he looks forward to his returning to his room that has been specially designed with gold-treated items and removing his bulky clothes.

    He also craves a certain amount of attention and company with other people and especially meta-humans. He will play online video games (allows him to interact with others people) to fulfill this need. However, he also likes a certain degree of alone time where he utilizes his power to create art or conduct experiments.

    Hobbies/Interests: Online video gaming through computers or a game system. He will also try to transmute stones into various materials to see what happens. Sometimes these experiments are disastrous such as when he transmuted a rock into pure elemental sodium which immediately dissolved a hole through the table and four apartment rooms. He enjoys listening to alternative rock and classical music.

    Skills/Talents: Extremely good at first person shooters. He is also proficient at using computers. Has a good understanding of history and scientific pursuits because of the time he spent reading encyclopedias as a kid, and from being taught by his engineer mother and chemist father. He also learned to create gourmet Mexican food dishes with his power from his parents. He also loves the outdoors from reading adventure novels and wants to venture into the wilderness one day, despite being coddled indoors for most of his life.

    Prized Possession: A small gold medallion around his neck.

    Quotes:
    “I wonder what happens if I change it into…Oh, whoops.”

    “Crud, how am I gonna hide this?”

    Biography: Francis is part of one of the few individuals from a meta-human family line with similar powers. He can trace his lineage back to the French alchemist-philosopher Peter Abelard who discovered that he could transmute materials by the touch of his finger.

    They had the capability of transmuting the elemental composition of any material through the touch of their hands. Through practice they could perfectly convert a material into the exact shape and composition of another. Some would turn their arts to metal crafting and became master blade/armor smiths. Some would become prominent chefs capable of creating gourmet meals out of stone and air. Others would specialize their abilities for their respective professions. This made them extremely valuable to their respective societies and over time the Abelard family prospered.

    However, Francis was an anomaly among his kind. While his relatives could only transfigure objects through the touch of their hands, Francis however could transmute anything in a four meter radius to his body.

    The first hint of this was when he transmuted his bed into solid glass as a ten year old child. His parents became apparent that something really was different when one night as a child when he accidentally transmuted his entire bedroom into water while sleeping. This nearly caused his death as the family lived on the sixth floor of an apartment in New York.

    Since then his parents made him wear clothes that had gold dust woven into the fabric to inhibit his abilities and prevent an accidental discharge. As he grew alterations to his clothes were made to make them larger. The outfit remained the same: a large brown field jacket, blue track pants, yellow beanie, and black sunglasses all containing gold dust. Like all members of his family he wears their trademark black gloves inscribed with the Abelard insignia.

    However, because of his unique circumstances his parents decided to homeschool him. As a kid he suffered from solitude. To deal with the isolation he turned to books and the arts. He became an avid reader of history and scientific pursuits. Physics, chemistry, mathematics, and the history of humanity astonished and inspired him. Eventually he would move on to drawing, sculpting, and painting his ideas. This became one of the few joys of his lonely childhood.

    His unique capabilities spread among the network of Abelard families. Word of him reached certain ears and when he became 17 he received an invitation by mail to join Academy 218. His parents were overjoyed as this was the first time an Abelard would attend the prestigious school. They also secretly hoped that their son would meet friends there under the supervision of the Academy.

    Francis however, was nervous. He grew up to be shy because of his solitary upbringing, and was aware that he would be regularly interacting with fellow meta-humans at the Academy. With bags packed he arrived at the island and awaited his future.

    Abilities

    Power Class: Elemental-5

    Power: Matter Transmutation. Francis has the power to transform the elemental composition of materials in a five meter radius around him. He can turn iron into gold. Mercury into water. Hydrogen gas into oxygen. While a material is being changed it will glow white. It takes ten seconds for any given material to be altered. Francis can also mentally move anything he has transmuted in a five meter sphere around him.

    Limitations: To change the elemental composition of a material he must fulfill two conditions. Francis must have a clear memory of the elemental material and it must have been within five meters of him at some point in the past. For example, to turn stone into soda he must have been in proximity to the soda and have a clear visual memory of it.

    Gold inhibits his ability to transmute matter. The gold dust in his clothes, gloves, and sunglasses prevent him from accidentally harming those around him. Once he takes off his gloves he can transfigure materials by touch. If he isn't wearing his specially designed clothes he can alter any material in a five meter radius around him. This radius seems have grown by a meter since he was ten.

    Furthermore cannot transmute gold and close proximity (one meter) to a sizeable amount of it (about the size of a can) will immediately stop his ability.

    He is only capable of transmuting elements into certain structures after studying the desired item. The more complicated the structure the more study is required. To transmute something into a wedding cake, he would need to have studied it intensely for days.

    He is also unable to create cells and by extension create living organisms such as plants or animals because of how complex they are. His family tradition dictates that this attempt must never be made. (Something happened in their history) He can however turn cells into less complicated materials such as pure marble or water.

    Name: Clarice A. Voss
    Nickname/Alias/Etc: Claire
    Gender: Female
    Age: 21
    Height: 5’11
    Weight: 168
    Status: New Student

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Black
    Eye Color: Vibrant Green.
    Ethnicity: Japanese/Caucasian
    Physical Appearance:
    Claire is a woman who has always been attracted to a little bit of strange, and due to this, she has a little bit of abnormality in her appearance and personality. Nothing terrible, mind you, if she were anything odd she probably wouldn’t be where she is today. Claire is abnormally tall for a girl. In flip-flops, she’s about the same height as the average grown man and weighs close to what they do. In her normal boots, she’s about 6’1, 6’2 depending on what boots she’s wearing and who you ask. Her height isn’t due to anything especially different. Her legs are slightly longer than average, but after that she looks much like a normal human would, just scaled up a size or two. Despite having an Asian mother, her Caucasian decent has basically, in her own words “Come out and beaten her other half into submission.” She looks like she’s purely Caucasian, and if she didn’t tell you otherwise you probably would think she was. There are a few things that you would notice however, should you have a careful eye. Her face is a slightly rounded heart shape, with a fair complexion that is smooth as a “Baby’s left ass cheek” in her own words that comes from her Japanese side, with naturally thin eyebrows. On the other hand her eyes display no slant that is signature of Asian decent, instead being almond shaped. They are vibrant green over the average brown. She has long brown hair that has the texture and falling style of her more Asian decent that falls towards the small of her back. Her hair parts above her left eye into bangs that sweeps to opposite sides that blends nicely with the rest of her ‘mane’ as Ben would describe it.

    Attire: All the clothing.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality:
    Overall, her personally is that of how she grew up. She’s a semi-country girl who grew up in Dallas, Texas. She’s got spunk and spirit and she will kick you ass if you say anything wrong about Texas. She’s outspoken, funny, and has the brazen type of humor that makes Ben cringe from time to time and is hilarious to others should it be timed correctly, which she almost always does because she’s a pretty smart woman. Hell even if it wasn’t timed right she’d still probably be considered funny and ballsy as fuck (She earns all the testy points). She’s also a giver as a person. Just like Ben she puts nearly everyone above and before herself and has often stayed up late worrying about or pulled all-nighters doing things for other she really didn’t have to do. She’s got a bad case of OCD and perfectionism when it comes to that. You remember that one scene from Elf were Buddy turned the whole store into a Christmasy wonderland because he thought Santa was coming? Yeah, she did the birthday equivalent for a little boy not too far away from their farm and then offered to host his birthday on the farm. She’s a bit of a social butterfly in that respect. She's really a big kid who never grew up a lot like Ben and their relationship as husband and wife has flourished because of it. She's the kind of person who will come home from work and be like: "I ORDERED PIZZA IN THE CAR, LETS WATCH BREAKING BAD AND THEN PASS OUT!" and then think it was romantic. Because of this she can irresponsible at times and will often prioritize things in the wrong order, much like Ben.

    Hobbies/Interests: Well, she’s an amateur botanist after marrying Ben, does that count?
    Skills/Talents: Ben has forced her to take an MMA class and she took that very seriously. As revenge she has used this skill to beat the shit out of him over who uses the bathroom first every morning countless times using that skill. She’s also pursuing a degree in Botany at the Academy, seeing as she knows so much about plants as it is and her husband can pretty much pull any study material she’s ever need out his ass, and or make it. She's excellent at growing things and teaching (Honestly for how long Ben's lived on a farm, she's been there about a quarter of the length and is about a million times better at farming than he is).
    Prized Possession: A “Learn ASL “ DVD.
    Quote(s): “Dafuq did you think to me, you little bitch?”
    History/Bio: To be filled out later. See Ben’s History/Backstory for now.
    Family:
    She’s got Ben, who is her husband, a mother and father, and a few more distant relatives here and there, but after that there’s no one who has a relationship with her good enough to be worth mentioning.

    "Fuck Off 6" -MrAllenJ

    Power: Basically, Claire is a telepath capable of feats akin to that of Dr. Xavier. She can read minds, project her thoughts into other peoples minds, communicate telepathically with anyone she so chooses, potential mind control/emotional manipulation, memory manipulation, you get the idea. She also has the ability to pick at people’s memories once she has established contact, to pick at people’s memories and use the memories to induce emotions from people. This power is in early development and she's not too good at picking memories yet. Basically Ben is her buttmonkey/lab rat and receives the ass end of his wife's practicing on a regular basis.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:
    Well, while she is capable to talking to people telepathically, she cannot read their thoughts. Hard to understand? I get you; it’s kinda like this. Think of it as a two-lane road. She can go either way if she wants to, but in order to read someone’s thoughts the other side of the road has to be closed. It’s kinda like stealth telepathic communication. When she talks to you, or establishes a mental link between you and herself, you know she’s there, and you can sense her presence. If she tries mind reading, she has to make it so you don’t know she’s there and the only people she has figured out how to do that on are people who completely and totally trust her. Even if they know she’s reading them. Ben is the first and so far only person she has been able to do this with. It is thought she’s capable of mind control, but so far this has been theoretical and she has no experience with this, or how to even start doing it. She’s only had the power for about two years, jeez. High expectations. You want finely tuned stuff talk to Ben, asshole. Due to her lack of experience, she also has a bit of a stamina mind issue. The more she uses it, the less control she has over it. So excessively using it would flood her head with a ton of random thoughts. Your minds are literally the most mundane things ever. Honestly, half the time Jago thinks nothing but “boobs”

    Basic Information

    Name: June Turner
    Nickname/Alias/Etc: Blue
    Gender: Male
    Age: 20
    Height: 1.73m
    Weight: 59kg
    Status: New Student

    Appearance

    Hair Colour: Dyed a bright electric blue, though naturally it is a dark blonde colour
    Eye Colour: Unimpressive blue-grey
    Ethnicity: Caucasian
    Physical Appearance: June is a very slim youth standing at medium height with short cropped hair (much like this style) always dyed an intense colour, predominantly blue of some variety. His sharp angular features show in a strong nose line, long chin and high cheekbones are accentuated by his thin frame lacking any significant muscle tone. His eyebrows are kept tidy and thin, as is his aesthetic, and sit neatly above his blue-grey eyes. Proud of his few skin imperfections his face is dotted by only a few small pot marks from previous zits and he makes an effort to keep it that way while maintaining a lack of facial hair and enjoying thorough hygiene, in fact he keeps all aspects of himself neat and groomed including his nails which he keeps short. Though tidy his too sharp features mark him outside of conventional beauty, a fact he takes some pleasure from. Of pale complexion it is clear he favors shade over sun whether indoors or out and lacks a significant tanline because of this. His body matches his face with few blemishes, carefully maintained, and only one significant eyecather in the form of a bare tree tattoo with several crows flying from its branches on his left shoulder (boop!).

    Attire: His style is a balance between a love of tight fitting black and baggy folds/pockets. He often wears coats that drape to his knees or mid-thigh sporting plenty of deep pockets both inside and out with a tight shoulderless tank top that shows off his midriff and fingerless elbow-gloves underneath accompanied by jeans, pocketed naturally, and dark, slim boots. Nearly everything he owns is in dark tones though June will often throw in bright coloured accessories that match his hair such as a scarf. He thoroughly enjoys his round rimmed shades (like these! The image is sfw but the rest of the comic has nsfw moments so heads up)

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: June is at his core a hedonist, he does what he does because he feels like it and for no other reason. That is not to say he is especially obnoxious or abrasive, he quite enjoys people and finds them highly entertaining, he just doesn’t have much interest in maintaining a positive image to others nor will he go out of his way to cheer someone up or spare their feelings, unless of course they are more fun that way. Ultimately any show of affection or pleasantries will be for his own gain, usually in the form of enjoyment, unless the individual falls into the rare category of genuine friend. He very rarely attaches himself this way to people as he is a natural skeptic and more than happy with his own company. He tends to be open about his position in relation to people should it come up but will always lie, no matter the topic, if it suits him. June’s skepticism towards people stems at least in part from his lack of empathetic understanding and ability to pick up on the more subtle social cues, he is basically a social machete hacking and slashing his way through the social environment with little regard for truth as he finds it hard to genuinely trust others but interacts with them anyway and to great enjoyment. With a natural distrust of authority institutions he is a troublemaker and will often spite rules just to see the reaction or test the boundaries, though once they’re established he generally won’t continue to test his luck as that is rarely in his eventual self-interest.

    Hobbies/Interests: He enjoys stories immensely, be them books, films or tv series and will spend hours on them. He has tried his hand at writing but finds viewing stories more enjoyable than making them. He also has a love for fire and explosions, though he does try to keep his fun on the low down. Music and antiquities or anything that relates his aesthetic will also spark his interest with trinkets and tidbits making up most of his belongings.
    Skills/Talents: June is highly adept at starting fires, pissing people off and finding safe havens from people and prying eyes, skills that may or may not have roots in his first talent. He has also developed a good understanding of machinery and technology through his experimentations with his ability. He has build a small, waist high robot that he keeps as an extra set of hands and often has follow him around.
    Prized Possession: His dark black shades are likely his favorite thing, as his stories are replaceable.

    Quote(s):
    “You’re actually almost fun. I think I’ll keep you”

    “Don’t worry so much about what people think, they’re all about themselves you know? So be about you too”

    History/Bio: June was raised by his mother and sister, both of them loving and generous people and the two people he holds most dear. His father was never around and his mother never spoke of him, he had been a drunken fling in the days when his mother enjoyed parties even though she was caring for his three year old sister at the time. The man paid child support but that was it, limiting his contact to that alone which suited Isabella fine, it was not something she was proud of. She never let that get in the way of loving him though and as a bright, energetic person who loved people as much as she did it wasn’t really all that surprising she had enjoyed meeting people and having a little fun. Michal, Gene his sister’s father, had been a longtime friend of hers and they had dated on and off for some time through university, after her master’s degree in engineering that she had earned alongside him she ditched it in favor of hairdressing which suited her better and it was something she loved dearly. Once she had settled into her new role she had asked Michal to help her start a family and was always a good family friend, more of an uncle than a father to both of Isabella’s children.

    Growing up June was taught how wonderful people were and he say that they had the potential, but bullying and bigotry to both his own lifestyle and his mother’s jaded him to this idea and he settled for enjoying people immensely but never trusting them much. That was until he met Sebastian, a meta human and, like him, 13. He attended a boarding school not too far from June’s public school and they struck up a quick friendship, deep and true. He was June’s first kiss. Sebastian is also the one that gave him his powers through the Black Fall Effect. Sadly this also marked a turning point in his life as after four years of happiness with his friend Sebastian was mugged heading back to the dormitories after a visit with June’s family, the muggers were also gifted with meta powers and the fight escalated drastically resulting in Sebastian to be seriously injured and hospitalized. He was extremely skittish and nervous afterwards having developed severe anxiety from the encounter and the two slowly drifted apart. June fell into his more delinquent tendencies around this time possibly as an attempt to fill the gap.

    As a meta human he was eventually noticed and offered scholarships and academy positions which he refused on principle having blamed Sebastian's Academy for failing to protect him. That was until he was invited to the prestigious Academy 218, an offer that appealed to him greatly if just for the novelty of living on a man made island seeped in intrigue and sporting the biggest library he had ever heard of. That and a laboratory stocked with everything he could ever need to test his powers on. For now he is willing to let his prejudices relax enough to accept the invitation. He can always leave if it doesn't work out, right?

    Power: June has a peculiar ability known as technomancy which manifests itself in the for of strange fields of energy that can be infused with technological devices giving him the power to control and manipulate them with his mind. From here they can be forced to perform any of the functions they were programmed or built with by way of influencing the base operations of the device. He can manipulate both computer based systems, like phones, and more mundane electrical based systems, like machinery. Once he has learned a system he is able to move it through its functions intuitively and with little concentration and if that system has converted video or sound to electrical impulses he can understand it. meaning if he were to build a functioning robot with a video camera he could move it about with ease while out of line of sight, seeing what it sees.

    As his power develops he will be able to create self functioning fields that can perform and repeat simple patterns when activated, this will steadily advance until he is able to infuse technomantic fields so advanced they are almost self aware.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: There are two main limitations to his ability, firstly it can take a fair while to understand how to control a new system, learning which parts do what and what circuits lead to where, the more complex the system the longer it will take. If he were to learn how to control and unfamiliar phone for example it could take several hours, a desktop computer might take as long as ten. Though the similarities between the new systems and the one she has already learned will speed this process. Secondly he must infuse the techomantic field through touch, and must have contact with it for several seconds in order for it to work.

    There is also a limit on how much he can control at once, though this is a mental limit not a limit of his ability. At the start of the RP timeline he can control only one complex device or maybe 2 simple devices while also remaining conscious of his own actions. There is also a period of time where he must recover from using his abilities, he can only control up to three devices in rapid succession before he reaches his limit and needs four to six hours to recuperate any energy spent after he has finished using a device, this may be due to the nature of meta-energy and the time it takes for it to return to his body. His control has a maximum distance of roughly thirty meters. Any distraction to concentration can loosen his grip on a device he is controlling. Physically he also isn’t particularly fit, only able to run moderate distances at a steady pace before getting worn out and would be outclassed easily in a physical fight by anyone with serious training (though against untrained opponents his combat experience would be adequate to stand a chance). As for social graces and blending in… well.

    Other: Fun fact, he's an international student from Australia.

    Basic Information

    Name: Ruben Geraltes Tarblatt

    Nickname/Alias/Etc: On more than one occasion, Ruben has been referred to by names such as “Meat” and “Metalhead”.

    Gender: Neither (formerly male)

    Age: 43

    Height: Six feet, seven inches

    Weight: 344.5 lbs.

    Status: New Teacher/Staff

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Formerly light brown

    Eye Color: Formerly green

    Ethnicity: Formerly Caucasian

    Physical Appearance: Ruben’s “head” is hidden from view by his Brainvault. The rest of him is nothing but a disgusting slurry of raw meat and organs and sinewy bones and muscles. He shapes himself into the closest thing to a human body he can muster.

    Attire: The closest thing Ruben has to clothes is his Brainvault Type 2, a cranial device designed by his colleagues and modified by Ruben himself. It resembles a metal sphere with several ports and antennae protruding from it, a bumper system to protect from sudden impacts, a voice box that translates his verbal thoughts to comprehendible speech. Ruben wraps his body in gauze to keep his true form from public view, though it tends to seep after a while, meaning he has to reapply it often, especially after he changes form. It puts most people off, as you can imagine.

    Personality

    Outward & Innate Personality: Towards others, Ruben is a kind and curious intellectual. He respects the nature and opinions of others and rarely, rarely displays a negative attitude. This is marred, however, by his appearance. Often taken for a monster at first glance, he usually has to be introduced by someone aware of his “condition” before he can formally introduce himself. He enjoys interaction with others and values those who don’t judge him immediately for his bizarre appearance, or the cryptic and obscure mannerisms by which he speaks.

    On the inside, Ruben is nothing but a constant thinker. He always scans his immediate surroundings, thinking about everything and everyone around him before himself. He is very analytical but does his best to keep his observations to himself unless someone brings them up.

    Hobbies/Interests: Ruben spends a great deal of his free time working on his Brainvault Type 3, an upgrade to his current rig which he theorizes will be able to protect him from psionic assault and manipulation, which he is still somewhat susceptible to. Besides that, he enjoys his research, maintaining his health, walking about, observing his surroundings, and chatting with others who allow him to.

    Skills/Talents: Ruben, being the studious and over-thinking sludge he is, has a knack for mind games and puzzles, able to solve them relatively quickly compared to others.

    Prized Possession: Ruben doesn’t necessarily hold any one object in great sentimental regard, but he does take extensive care of his Brainvaults, both the one he wears currently and the one he’s working on upgrading. He used to carry his original Brainvault as a reminder of the kindness his colleagues showed them, but he left it with them after he was invited to Academy 218. They considered it something to remember him by.

    Quote(s): “Meat. Bone. Flesh. Not forever. Not all. The mind, is. The soul, too.”

    History/Bio: Ruben Tarblatt was born in rural England, on the outer side of the country. He was raised by two loving parents along with his older sister Marietta, eleven at the time of his conception. Originally a mere farm boy, his youth was flooded with the ideas and intrigues of science and engineering, brought upon by rudimentary textbooks and posters he had beheld at his elementary school. His father, despite having no interest in any scientific fields, supported his son’s eagerness to do whatever he wished, confident he’d make a successful career out of it. Ruben soon devoted himself to the broad study of biology, at first simply intending to study human physicality. That changed, however, when he learned of meta-humans.

    At such a young age, Ruben was bewildered by the stories he heard of people capable of bending reality, changing form, and mastering control over the elements. He studied meta-human energy, ashing, everything that was readily available to him. While this wasn’t really what his school was versed in teaching its students, he pursued it nonetheless. His family was less than keen on this, but they allowed it to continue. In his later teenage years, he applied for a scholarship to a university in the United States. He told his family that it would give him the chance to learn much, much more, and potentially enact the foundation of a career, perhaps as a doctor or some other form of medical researcher. In truth, he had heard of a program going on in the university that focused on understanding meta-humans, their abilities, origins, everything. It was the next best thing to the illustrious Academy 218, which he had absolutely no chance of attending thanks to his mundane genetics, much to his displeasure. It took some convincing, but the family eventually agreed, and off they went to live in America.

    A time later, when Ruben was 22, he ended up as a junior researcher in the MHS (Meta-Human Studies) Program on the eastern coast of the US. His father got a job in a steel mill, and his mother stayed at home. By this time, his older sister had become rather distant from the family, claiming Ruben had taken control and didn’t care about their wellbeing. There was some truth to her words, but her parents didn’t enjoy hearing it. She came back to the house less and less often and, eventually, left off on her own completely. Ruben, in all his blind eagerness to learn and progress, wasn’t made aware of his sister’s departure until after his mother passed away from old age. Ruben slowed down some at this point, returning to his home and comforting his grieving father. Hugo, however, didn’t seem to acknowledge his company like he used to. During this time, Ruben was offered a spot in an experimental trial as a lab assistant. The project was geared towards the creation of raw meta-energy and studying its uses and applications. Ruben was torn between accepting the offer or remaining with his estranged father and caring for him in his declining health and mental state.

    Ultimately, Ruben took the offer and abandoned his father. Hugo died soon after, early one morning, alone and in his bed, having not eaten anything since his son left him. Ruben refused to dwell on the issue and completely devoted himself to the project.

    Several years passed. Progress on the meta-energy project was slow and had reached a low point, almost on the verge of losing its funding and meta-human volunteers, most of which weren’t confident in the project in the first place. One night, Ruben had decided to stay in the lab late while his colleagues left. His spirits were already low, but that night, he got the kicker. While he was going over dead-end data readings over a vat of residual meta-energy combined with other experimental chemicals, he received an email from his sister. Hesitant, he opened the message.

    Ruben,

    I came back to the house last night. I thought I’d make amends with Dad after you left him. Try and patch things up. I came back and he’s not there. A neighbor who worked with him at the mill told me he’s dead and buried in the cemetery downtown. I ran to my car and I cried. I was so sad and angry at you, and I still am. I know I left Mom and Dad but I thought about it every day. You didn’t. I thought if I came back, nothing would happen. They’d be happy to see me but nothing would have changed for them. I’d still end up leaving, they’d still be together. But I at least wanted to do something for them after feeling so terrible about myself for so long. I don’t know if I should be angrier at myself for not going back sooner, or absolutely furious at you for not even caring. But there are so many other reasons. You pushed us to move to America for your own education, not mine, and not for Mom or Dad’s interests. You made them spend all their money on a dead-end project. And you abandoned them both in the end. Everything that happened was your fault. I thought I could forgive you years ago somehow, but because of all this, that will never happen. You’re horrible. You left Mom and Dad to die and you never even cared.

    You’re not my brother. Don’t you dare respond to this.


    That did it. Ruben normally would have just tried to shake it off but, this time, it pushed him over the edge. After a fit of hysteric crying and trashing the computer, Ruben pulled a gun meant for protection from the station drawer. He screamed at himself and fought between going through with suicide or backing out and remaining as miserable as he was. In the end, he weighed in favor of the former. Standing over the vat, he put the gun in his mouth and fired.

    And he fell in.

    The laboratory alarms sounded across the facility grounds. The project team were all alerted while they were asleep or out on the town for the night. When a few of them made it to the facility as quickly as they were capable of, they immediately found the vat and the… thing that was inside. One of the researchers immediately activated the emergency bottom valve, no pipe present. The beheld the organism inside; a sopping mess of meat, flesh and bone, all somehow connected to a brain that seemed perfectly intact. Almost instinctively, they set up a crude but stable life support station and connected the brain to it. That same night, they learned that it was Ruben; they found his encased ID tag lodged inside the flesh, the protective cover able to withstand whatever turned him into… what he became. The next day, they set up a neural interface terminal and connected it to Ruben’s brain. When they questioned Ruben about what happened, about the gun… he didn’t tell them. He just kept begging them to find a way to “stabilize” him. He was in pain.

    The project team then turned their efforts towards figuring out what happened to Ruben and how to stabilize him. They laid him out on a table and scanned him, discovering the neural tendrils reaching out from his brain stem. Ruben attempted to move them but was incapable of doing so. The team spent the next week gathering the appropriate materials to create the prototype “Brainvault”, or so they dubbed it. It was designed to sense Ruben’s thoughts and stimulate the tendrils through sheer thought alone, in order to perform action and movement. It took time, but they constructed the prototype and placed Ruben’s brain inside of it.

    Miraculously, it worked.

    Ruben was then capable of controlling the tendrils and, in sequence, controlling the slurry that surrounded them. He practiced over time, shifting and reworking his new “neural stem” in order to replicate a functioning, mobile body. After months of practice, he was able to create his own system of muscles, bones, nerves, everything. He couldn’t do it without the Brainvault, however, so he was forced to survive through use of a liquid nutrient which, thankfully, was easy to brew. The team eventually forgot about the night the incident occurred, more focused on helping Ruben adapt. As expected, however, the team’s efforts made public news.

    People were bewildered at first, but in the wake of developing matters regarding meta-humans, Ruben’s condition didn’t seem so strange to them. They simply assumed he was another meta-human which, in a way, he had become. The residual meta-energy detected within his neural stem had given him the ability to “meld” with any organic material the stem touched. He discovered this when he managed to “peel back” the meat and flesh to reveal a tendril, and touched an amputated arm (which had originally come from a regenerating meta-human) on a sheer whim. He watched it connect to the tendril, and afterwards, assimilate with the rest of his form. Now, that was what scared the team at first, but Ruben assured them he wasn’t going to end up like the Thing. He was too rational for that, or so he claimed.

    In the years that passed, Ruben became a figure of note on the topic of meta-energy studies. Using his ability to connect to other people’s minds through neural contact, an ability his colleagues theorized and asked him to test, he pooled together enough collective knowledge to advance his team’s research into residual meta-energy manipulation. This led to a relative breakthrough in regenerative medical technology and programs capable of assisting anatomical, biological, and cerebral class meta-humans in controlling and even advancing their abilities. This eventually caught the ear of the staff at Academy 218, and they invited Ruben to come to the island and tour the grounds, offering him the opportunity to bring some of his technologies there and perhaps even teach the students about his work.

    Ruben, of course, accepted. After finishing the final touches on his second Brainvault, he bid his team farewell and began preparations for his trip and stay to Academy 218.

    Relationships

    Hugo Tarblatt | Neutral | Father | “Father-flesh to me, of my too-solid form before. Buried, not forgotten. Gave joy to my interests before the meta had solidified, wished me unwise and to veer toward the mundane. Refused. Saw his heart slowly break, shattered, and wrought into dust. Often wonder… if I had said yes, what future for me would have come about?”

    Amelia Tarblatt | Good | Mother | “Mother-flesh. Always loved, dual within the spectrum between us. Never doubted. Never restrained. Always loved. Always… Even throughout her last bid of the temporal flow. Where by her, I was not.”

    Marietta Tarblatt | Bad | Older Sister | “Sister-flesh. Flesh that hates. Always hated. Hated me. Hated the meat. Hated the metal. Away, now. Far. To where… I dare not feign a guess.”

    Abilities

    Power Class: Anatomical/Biological (7), Cerebral (3)

    Power: Ruben’s body is made up of a slurry comprised of both his meat, bone and flesh, and that of several bovines which he assimilated with years ago for utility purposes. Buried inside this slurry is a series of red stems that provide a neural link between Ruben’s brain and any organic matter he comes into contact with. This link, when not conflicted over by a separate consciousness, allows Ruben to control the slurry to almost no limit of extent, at least physically. He can mold the slurry into a pseudo-human body, or anything animalistic or otherwise that he is capable of perceiving, but is restricted to the overall greatest size he is capable of achieving. He can form muscles, joints, tendons, tendrils, bones, tissues, membranes, proboscises and many more, all with an accompanying gnashing, retching sound that can only be described as absolutely disgusting.

    Ruben’s secondary ability, cerebral in nature, is more “intuitive”. The neural stems originating from his brain are capable of linking to other brains via physical contact. He can access other people’s thoughts, memories, dreams, nightmares, etc. This is, of course, seen as terrible violation of one’s privacy. Ruben never uses this ability unless he absolutely must, and only if he has the explicit permission of whoever is involved.

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Being comprised of nothing but a slurry of organic materials, Ruben is, of course, susceptible to open flames and very high temperatures. As well, being frozen solid is something he doesn’t enjoy in particular. Ruben’s Brainvault is constructed in a way that it is capable of condensing the slurry inside to a smaller but equal-in-mass portion (with the help of a chemical that only he knows how to create), though this space is not unlimited. It expands when it exits the Brainvault, which Ruben has to shape into something quickly or else it will randomize its own physical outcome. As of current, the amount of slurry inside the Brainvault is at maximum capacity, meaning Ruben cannot assimilate with anything else without being forced to make it an extension of his exterior body.

    Other: Ruben is not necessarily a fan of Shakespeare, but he does find some sense of relation to an excerpt from Hamlet, Act I Scene II.

    O, that this too, too solid flesh would melt,
    Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
    Or that the Everlasting had not fix’d
    His canon ‘gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!

    Basic Information

    Name: Caleb Idlett
    Nickname/Alias/Etc: Bass, Some friends also call him Wally. Usually its his closer friends though.
    Gender: (Male,
    Age: 20
    Height: 6 foot 6 inches
    Weight: 215 pounds
    Status: Returning student.

    Appearance

    Hair Color: Dark brown hair
    Eye Color: Green Eys
    Ethnicity: Caucasian/Irish, Native American
    Physical Appearance: Caleb is a decently sized man who is pretty well built. His biceps were about 14 Inches, so not too big or too small. They are very well built and toned as if he worked on them constantly. He is about average in his weight, in comparison to his height. He has what one would call a 4 pack on his stomach, it is not as well defined as his arms but it is pretty decent. His pecks just barely are larger than his chest but they are pretty well defined as well. His neck is pretty large with how his shoulders are. His shoulders are not that defined as well as his back. Both of those look about average for him. One might even say that his back looked a bit flabby. His thighs though are quite large, as well as his calves. Both look of that of someone who has worked them out constantly. He also has a scar on his knuckle as well as across his right shoulder down diagonally. He has a few scars on his back as well these are the most notable though.
    Attire: Normally Caleb will wear t-shirts and shorts. Almost always he will wear basketball shorts, however when he feels like impressing someone or wanting to dress up he will wear blue jeans. He enjoys wearing sports shirts and sports jackets. Specifically of his favorite teams, Green Bay, and the Trail Blazers.

    Personality: He is an outgoing person, most of the time that is. Except when he knows nobody then he becomes very introverted. But he is naturally extroverted. He loves people and loves making friends. In all honesty he has a fear of missing out on things but he would never admit it. He is also a touchy person, he loves hugs, cuddling, butt slaps, you name it he enjoys physical touch; no matter who it is from Caleb enjoys it and takes it as a sign of friendship. He is understanding though at other peoples boundaries if they ask him to not touch them or hug them. Usually this happens after he makes the flaw of touching or hugging the person though. Caleb tries his best to relax as much as possible but usually fails at this, he hates conflict, especially between friends. When Caleb senses their is a problem he tries his best to fix it as soon as possible because he hates conflict and what could happen. He is very loud especially when he laughs, often people made the joke they could tell he was somewhere a room and a half over because of his laugh. He is a very motivated person who once his mind gets set onto something that is what he wants to do.
    However his best qualities would be his loyalty, his kindness, and that he never judges people. He does his best to never judge someone and people can tell as he consistently tries to show genuine concern and compassion for others. Just like how his kindness is in relation to that he always tries to make friends he doesn't like it if people dislike him which sometimes causes problems when he goes into a people pleaser mode when he feels alone. He is extremely loyal, to the point of death even for just a friend or acquaintance. He would rather be loyal to others and stand up for them if someone is bashing on them than to let someone talk bad to his friends.
    His major personality flaw though is he has on and off depression. His depression can be activated from one bad thing happening during the day and it can last all day or even the rest of the week. But when he is happy he is extremely happy, but when he is in his depression, even if he just feels alone he will get as bad as suicidal. Both of these can be difficult as he naturally is zealous. He tries to give 120% at everything he is doing. He is still a jock though and loves such talk and messing around with people about sports and girls and other jock topics. But most people understand not to get him angry because of his anger issues, because he becomes relentless and has no mercy for what he does wither its verbal or physical. This has gotten him in trouble a couple of times. To put it in a more simplistic version though, when he's happy he's like a small puppy dog, full of energy and loving.

    Outward & Innate Personality: Caleb tries his best to be as friendly as possible to everyone. But if he knows someone is a player, or a jerk, or a bully, he will inwardly despise them, he just would never let it show. He does feel like everyone has a good side though. But other than that for the most part he treats others outside as he feels inside
    Hobbies/Interests: Sports, specifically football, soccer, and basketball. Mostly football and basketball though, he loves to play basketball. He also loves to play videogames of all types. He reads and enjoys writing as well as writing his own stories. But other than playing sports he loves hanging out with friends watching movies and TV he loves people. He also when he has spare time practices his martial art, Wing Chun
    Skills/Talents: Caleb is very skilled in basketball and pretty good as a running back in football. He is excellent in Wing Chun, he is okay at singing but others don't enjoy his singing nearly as much as he does. He used to do gymnastics and is pretty food but would never admit to it.
    Prized Possession: He has a circular pure gold necklace that opens up and shows a picture of his ex girlfriend. Who is actually dead and is the reason she is his ex.
    Quote(s): "I love you guys." "Life is like football and basketball, it is a game of inches, every inch counts."
    History/Bio: Caleb grew up as the youngest in his family. Since he was the youngest he got the short end of the straw when it came to expectations. This is because his parents expected more from him than his brother and sister. Caleb sat and watched as his parents were lazy and would constantly fight and a lot of the things they did just generally Caleb did not like. So he decided he would not be like his parents instead he would become his own man. So he practiced sports and worked out and enjoyed his life trying to fight the very least he could. His Girlfriend of 2 years he met at his school, however after two years she broke up with him which started a string of girls that he would try to go after but they would simply play him like a doll. Until he met his girlfriend about a year and a half later. They started to date and dated for 5 years. Until she died in an accidental drive by where a few stray bullets hit her. He was devastated and clinically depressed. When he found out who had done it he went and "took care" of the person who was firing the gun. Since it was just a local gang he was able to move to another city and avoid them hunting him, this was only after a couple run ins with other gang members though. It was only thanks to his Dad's money that got him a good lawyer though that he didn't go to jail. From that moment on Caleb had his fair share of anger issues but now does his best to keep them under control. However the most troublesome part of his life that bothers him to this day is his tourettes syndrome. It causes him to do a multitude of things from him having to tighten his hand to him having to basically bark like a dog. Of course the vicious circle is that they get worse the more stressed he gets. And the worse they get the more stressed he gets.
    Family: Mom , Dad, brother and sister All N\A he doesn't share much about his family.

    Relationships (waiting to discuss with others how they might be friends or not be friends with Caleb)

    Relationships: (Basically a section where you put your character's thoughts on the other ones they've encountered. You can also talk to other people and decide what your characters relations will be.)

    [Character name] | [Impression (Good/Bad/Neutral]] | [Relationship (Friend, Rival, Crush, etc)] | [Character's thoughts [EX: I think Bob is quite the amiable fellow, has a great head on his shoulders, but is kinda daft]] |

    Abilities

    Power Class: (Super System, Elemental, Chemical, Cosmic, Cerebral, Energy, Animal/Plant, Extra-Sensory, Anatomical/Biological, Spatial, Power, or Other - Place assigned power rating here)
    Power: Sound manipulation: he has the ability to manipulate sound by amplifying it and sending it out a shockwave and releasing the sound at the same time. He can use this d
    In screams, claps, or even punches and kicks. He is able to if he concentrates to keep and store in sound and unleash it in a single blow which would only amplify the shockwave further. He can amplify his sound and create shockwaves out of even the smallest of things such as tapping if he's not careful. Because he can even amplify his own voice his voice does not usually get hoarse from this action, he is not sure why he just knows he doesn't get hoarse. Also it seems as if his ears are impervious to his own noise as well but that doesn't say the same thing about his friendlies. He can even silence the sounds around him and use that, but he cannot do that very well yet it would require a lot of effort to get him to silence things around him when he's trying to. When he does though he must release it in a shockwave or with a punch (either way he is releasing a shockwave).

    Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: When he gets tired there's not much he can do aside from his own sounds but those become weaker of he's tired.
    His tourettes, they have been known to set off his powers especially in a high stress situation.
    His powers have the chance of hurting allies since they are a bit uncontrollable.
    He can easily get headaches especially with the combination of his tourettes and his powers. His powers do not hurt his ears but they do start to hurt his head from the amount of oxygen it takes to use.
    Contrary to popular belief he cannot be very quiet as his tourettes will act up as the more he tries to focus on not allowing them, so in quiet situations he usually cracks under pressure after awhile.

    Other: (Put whatever you want here, basically anything that doesn't fit in the other forms)
