Seated on the Northern side of Clallam County in Washington State, Kilbride is a large city that was founded in 1904 and presented covers a grand total of ninety eight square miles of territory. The city is located within the Puget Sound, just off of the Salish Sea and is built around a mountain stream which leads a flowing river northward through the city. This river starts in a small lake which makes up the center of the city's main park, this lake is the result of a basin at the bottom of a waterfall that runs off the mountains from just outside the city. Due to the fjord which not only created the Puget Sound but also the city's low land, most of the city lays in a valley surrounded by high cliffs. This valley is known as the Demon's Valley due to the jagged fang like shape of the cliffs which have become known as the Demon's Teeth. Further to the East beyond the city lies a dormant volcano just on the outskirt of a branch of mountains which meanders into the Cascade Mountains. This volcano hasn't erupted since well before the 1800s and rarely even gives off smoke, despite this the original settlers dubbed the volcano, the Demon's Mouth.

Close to the coast, cliffs are almost non existent and as such the city spreads up the hills. This leads to the richer neighbourhoods which run atop the cliffs surrounding on the central city. These neighbourhoods are highly exclusive and contain the city's wealthiest citizens such as the estates of the city's founding families, the Faulkners, Fitzroys and Murdochs. Of the estates, the Faulkner estate is the only one which remains in the original family hands with the other two ancestral homes having been sold long ago. There are two distinct prestige neighborhoods, the East Side and the West Side, with a long standing feud having existed between the two neighbourhoods since the fifties. These neighbourhoods exist on either side of the valley, with the Faulkners' notably belonging to the West Side and the Fitzroy family having once been associated with the East Side. Despite being outside of the valley, even the prestige neighbourhoods are overshadowed by the towering mountains which lead into the Cascades.

Within the actual valley, the city is made up of various neighbourhoods ranging from the fishery district in the North East, to the Entertainment District in the South West End. The city has an industrial district, but it's two miles out of the south built around a quarry. The Fishery District is made up of the harbours and is known gang territory. This district is made of it's obvious name sack along with both shipping docks and boarding docks for departing cruises and whale watching tours. Aside from the buildings which belong to the aforementioned businesses, the district is populated by various warehouses. Opposite of the harbour to the west is the Beaches District which is made up of the obvious along with various stores, condos and some other residentials. The Beaches District also contains the Bayside Highschool along with Sandstone Elementary. The Entertainment District is quite wealthy, filled with its namesakes particularly the Roman Colosseum. The whole district was created by the mafia in the late thirties and is likely still run by them to this day. To the South End of the city lies what's known as the Shopping District. This district is essentially filled with various shopping centres and restaurants. This district is built just in front of Thistle Park and contains one of the city's main bridges which cross the river which runs through the town. The center of the city is known as the Historical District, or the Down Town. This area contains the city's government buildings as well as many of the historical buildings which date back to the time the city was founded. In addition to the governing buildings, many lawyers set up their offices here along with various other professional trades such as engineering firms. The main fire station, police headquarters and primary hospital are also located within the Historical District. Two other notable institutions in the Down Town include the Kilbride College Academy Secondary School, as well as the Faulkner Institute of Higher Learning.

Aside from the the Clyde River which flows down the center of the town into the Calder Lake, Kilbride is home to several natural wonders. The first of which is the Demon's Teeth and Mouth which surrounds the valley. From atop of these, the Angel's Tears Waterfall flow into the Calder Lake only to flow out to the sea through the Clyde River. Surrounding the Calder Lake lays Thistle Park which is considered a natural reserve. No construction is allowed within the park, aside from minor benches and small gazebos. Food stands are kept to a minimal as well though man made walkways do exist. Despite appearing during the day as the most peaceful place in Kilbride, Thistle Park is possibly one of the most dangerous places at night. In addition to Thistle Park, the city is home to the Langlands Moss Bog. The Bog, nicknamed 'Dead Man's Bog' is a lowland raised peat bog. The bog has long been a favourite drop spot for bodies the local criminals need to dispose of. In addition to this, the bog is also used to instill a certain flavour into a whisky brewed at the local distillery. To do this, they use peat fires to dry malted barley. This gives some whiskies a distinctive smoky flavour, often called "peatiness". The bog has a boardwalk built through it and is a favourite tourist spot due to it's closeness to the beaches.

As Kilbride is part of Western Washington, it has a mostly marine west coast climate, with mild temperatures and wet winters, autumns and springs, and relatively dry summers. The mountains which surround Kilbride are significantly large when even compared to their relatives in the Cascades. Though the Demon's Mouth does not out rank Mount Rainier in terms of height, it's not far behind with an altitude of forty five miles. As the city is not only located within the Puget Sound but also on the edge of the Olympic Peninsula, it is home to temperate rainforests outside its borders. As such, the woods around Kilbride are predominantly coniferous, sometimes with an understory of broadleaved trees and shrubs. Common trees and plants in the region are camassia, Douglas fir, hemlock, penstemon, ponderosa pine, western red cedar, and many species of ferns. The various areas of wilderness offer sanctuary, with substantially large populations of shorebirds and marine mammals. The Pacific shore surrounding the San Juan Islands are heavily inhabited with killer, gray and humpback whales. Mammals endemic to the state include the bat, black bear, bobcat, cougar, coyote, deer,elk, moose, mountain beaver, muskrat, nutria, opossum, pocket gopher, raccoon, river otter,skunk, and tree squirrel. Kilbride is also home to several different ecoregions which allow for a varied range of bird species. This range includes raptors, shorebirds, woodland birds, grassland birds, ducks, and others. There have also been a large number of species introduced to Washington, dating back to the early 1700s, including horses and burros. The channel catfish,lamprey, and sturgeon are among the 400 known freshwater fishes. Along with the Cascades frog, there are several forms of snakes that define the most prominent reptiles and amphibians. Coastal bays and islands are often inhabited by plentiful amounts of shellfish and whales. There are five species of salmon that ascend the Western Washington area, from streams to spawn.

Kilbride is within the rain shadow from not only its own mountains but also the Cascades and as such expects up to a hundred and forty inches of rain every year. Weeks or even months may pass without a clear day. Most of the precipitation occurs in winter but summer there is often fog, the moisture of which is extracted by the trees and produces a fog drip keeping the forests surrounding the city moist. In addition to this, it often causes a fog to hang over Kilbride both in the morning and at night. Day time however is often quite sunny, especially during the summer. Kilbride is known for its mild climate, considerable fog, frequent cloud cover and long-lasting drizzles in the winter, and warm, temperate summers. Major factors determining Kilbride's climate include the large semi-permanent high pressure and low pressure systems of the north Pacific Ocean, the continental air masses of North America, and the Olympic and Cascade mountains. In the spring and summer, a high pressure anticyclone system dominates the north Pacific Ocean, causing air to spiral out in a clockwise fashion. For Kilbride this means prevailing winds from the northwest bringing relatively cool air and a predictably dry season. In the autumn and winter, a low pressure cyclone system takes over in the north Pacific Ocean, with air spiralling inward in a counter-clockwise fashion. This causes the city's prevailing winds to come from the southwest, bringing relatively warm and moist air masses and a predictably wet season. The term Pineapple Express is used to describe the extreme form of this wet season pattern. Overall temperature characteristics vary; cool, but not cold, winters and warm, but not hot, summers. Summers are also cooler (often much cooler) than in areas with a humid subtropical climate. Average temperature of warmest month must be less than 22 °C (72 °F) and that of the coldest month warmer than −3 °C (27 °F). Despite Kilbride having a marine climate similar to those of many coastal cities of Europe, there are exceptions such as the "Big Snow" events of 1880, 1881, 1893 and 1916 and the "deep freeze" winters of 1883–84, 1915–16, 1949–50 and 1955–56, among others. During these events the city experienced up to 6 feet (1.8 m) of snow, sub-zero (−18 °C) temperatures, three months with snow on the ground, and lakes and rivers frozen over for weeks.

The city of Kilbride was founded in 1904 when a group of Scottish-Americans came across the land and began to build a community. Working with the local natives, the town soon expanded and over the next few years quickly grew in population as others settled down in the area. The town was named in tribute to William Murdoch's, the town's first mayor, ancestral home back in Scotland. However the name became eerily accurate when William's son, Alastair murdered his own bride on their wedding night. The incident brought shame to the Murdoch name while the other two founding families, Faulkner and Fitzroy went on to be incredible successful in the city. Legend holds that Alastair tried to bury his bride in the bog outside of town, but her spirit lived on returning to torture the younger Murdoch and supposedly drove him to insanity.

A few years after, the adolescent children of the first settlers entered their young adulthood with the intention of making a splash, preferably vicious. They formed a small gang from school leavers, beginning with bullying kids out of pennies and soon escalating to robbery, vandalism, and arson. They became the Bruisin' Boyles, and were the first crime gang to plague Kilbride. Though the Boyles brought with a higher crime rate, the influx of Irishmen also brought the Catholic faith to Kilbride and it wasn't long before the Boyles had bullied and bribed their way into having the St. Patrick's Cathedral erected in what would become the Historical district. The Cathedral easily dwarfed the older St. Andrew's Church the proud Scottish Protestants had built. Over the years these two communities would clash and despite damage to both buildings, they both stand proud still today.

After the First World War, the Great Depression hit Kilbride with ferocious fervour, and brought the working class to almost extinction, while the upper class fed itself on reserves. The kids of the trust funds got bored, and in an age where police were more concerned with working class riots than the anarchic revelry of frustrated teenagers, they took the only advantage that was unique to them and started to have fun at the expense of the city around them. The Third Street Roughnecks were born. By the time the depression had ended, the Thirds had grown in such a size and number that it was far too late for the local authorities to quell their numbers. Despite this, eventually many of the gang members either got bored of the act or grew out of it. Their numbers were further diminished when World War Two came around and many of the young male members of the group went off to war after the attack on Pearl Harbor. As they were a West coast city, Kilbride went through a period of fear mongering as they persecuted Asian members of their community. Due to some of the atrocities commuted during this time, they have a memorial day every year at the end of July to celebrate community togetherness where the goal is to promote camaraderie among the community no matter your gender, race or sexual orientation, the latter part having been added in during the Seventies.

Shortly after World War Two however, a new face of crime came to town in the form of Italian Mafioso, Damian Locke. Along with Locke came all the old school crime family histories from the East Coast and the baggage to go with it. Locke was brutal and quickly cut out a corner of the city for himself. Smuggling arms and bootlegged alcohol into the city, Locke managed to come up with enough money to build his first casino. It wouldn't be long before he eventually had a whole district built to entertainment, whether it was the food, the drink, the gambling or the girls you were after. Locke built himself a whole Syndicate and it wasn't long before he and his cohorts were rubbing elbows with every important member of the Kilbride community. Even the Faulkner family couldn't resist Locke's charms as he did business with them. Despite everyone knowing Locke was dirty, people couldn't help but love him, his money and his power. Locke was the best and worst thing to happen to the city as he reignited both it's growth and its crime. People would go on to say that Mayors may come and go but Locke stayed eternal. His funeral was one of the biggest public turn outs despite the rumoured criminal empire he had built. Perhaps this is what made taking over so easy for his son Roman.

Years however before Damian Locke passed on, a Mexican Drug Cartel came from the South and began to set up shop. Known as La Familia Del Fierro, the Fierro's were a whole new ball game to Kilbride. Many didn't know how to take them, and the old school gangs like the Bruisin' Boyles didn't react too kindly to the new blood in town. While they had learned to exist with the Syndicate, the Boyles saw the Fierro's as trying to push them out of the last big of territory they had. The Eighties were a bloody time for Kilbride and eventually State Troopers had to be brought in to curb the violence. All that did however was encourage dirty cops to come forward holding out a palm eagerly waiting to be greased. None the less, Kilbride had learned how to run with dirt in its gas tank and the city carried forward. By the new millennium another gang had made a name for itself in Kilbride, running the fishery district was now a gang of all colours. They called themselves the Harbour Kings and most of them already had a felony record before even coming to the city. The Kings were made up of pirates and escapees before they began to recruit any Joe down on their luck. The current Police Commissioner has promised to put his fist down on crime, but the city knows that's only if it isn't filled with crisp dollar bills first. Despite that, the city is currently undergoing a mayoral election in hopes that with the right person in the office Kilbride could actually change for the better after over a hundred years.

-Harbour Kings: The Harbour Kings, or simply the Kings are a vicious gang which claims the harbour district and beaches are their territory. A more modern gang, the Kings are somewhat unpredictable and constantly change their tactics. They specialize in illegal imports and exports hence their territory claims. At home however they often distribute drugs especially to late night beach parties. The Kings are reported to be quite violent, including assault with deadly weapons. The Kings have also been known to deal and distribute in arms as well which brings them specifically into conflict with the Locke Crime Syndicate. This leads to violet shoot outs down around the docks. The Kings are thought to have a friend in the system as more often than not, those who have been apprehended usually get away with anything up to an literally including murder. The Kings are open to recruiting just about anyone, however once you're in you usually don't get out.

-The Third Street Roughnecks: The Third Street Roughnecks, or the Thirds as their often referred to, are a group of older kids with too much money to work and too much time on their hands. They're regarded as pests primarily, and are often a nuisance to the local authorities impeding them from attending to much more serious crimes throughout Kilbride. Though they normally terrorize the rich neighbourhoods of the first, second and of course third street, the Thirds will occasionally venture down into the shopping district. The Thirds however don't venture any further out with their activities as the other gangs are far more vicious and formidable and will have no regrets easily disposing of them. Some of the other gangs, particularly the Locke Crime Syndicate are known to hire the Thirds to create a disturbance to draw the authorities away from their own crimes or at the very least divide the available force. The Thirds' primary methods of operations include vandalism, graffiti, petty theft, limited assault and occasionally breaking and entering.

-The Bruisin' Boyles: The local Irish Mob, the Bruisin' Boyles, or the Bloody Boyles, or even simply the Boyles work out of the Industrial District. Unlike the Kings who openly recruit, to be part of the Boyles you have to be born into one of the city's Irish or Scottish families. The Boyles primarily deal in car jacking and chop shops. But they're often brought on as enforcers and bouncers at pubs around the city. Rough, rowdy and violent, the Boyles are regarded as highly dangerous. The Boyles often ship their 'frankenstein'd' cars East to Seattle, bringing in a suitable profit which they use to ensure their gang remains in control of the industrial district. The Boyles also buy and distribute drugs from the Fierro's through their territory as well as being known arsonists. At one point in history, the Boyles were the largest organized crime family in the city with a large amount of control on it. This has diminished significantly since the 1960's.

The Locke Crime Syndicate:
The Locke Crime Syndicate is the most dangerous of all organized crime in Kilbride. Run by the elusive and ominous Roman Locke, the Locke Crime Syndicate has their hands in almost every pocket in Kilbride. Starting off as arms dealers, Locke eventually gained enough money to build his casino empire eventually buying up enough land to create an entertainment district. The Locke Crime Syndicate still primarily deals in arms dealing, but also blackmail, extortion, arson, assassination, human trafficking and prostitution. The list of crimes is constantly being added to as the Syndicate will do anything it can to make money. Becoming an actual member of the Syndicate requires being actually hired. Unlike many of the gangs in Kilbride, the Syndicate believes in providing its members an actual career. They are professional criminals, having trained specialists in their ranks ranging from lawyers, to doctors to former Spetsnaz operatives. On top of those who are actually on the payroll, the Syndicate has control over some of the more influential citizens in Kilbride including but not limited to, the Mayor and the Police Commissioner.

La Familia Del Fierro:
A dangerous drug cartel that came up from Mexico during the 1980's, the Fierro's grow, manufacture and distribute a wide variety of drugs but among their most popular are marijuana, cocaine, meth, heroin and ecstasy. The Fierro's are highly protective of their producers and suppliers, this brings them into the ever aggressively expanding Locke Crime Syndicate. While most of the other organized crime sects within the city avoid open conflict, the Fierro's have no problem opening fire while surrounding by a crowd of bystanders. This greatly enhances their fear rating within the community. In addition to this, the Fierros are known for back stabbing or double crossing those who deal with them especially if they can gain additional profit from these actions. For this reason people would prefer not to deal with them, however due to addiction and their cheaper prices most customers come crawling back despite the danger.

Throughout Kilbride's law enforcement system are many corrupt individuals who either are part of organized crime or are paid off by an organized crime family. Most notably, the Police Commissioner has been under Locke's thumb for nearly his entire term in office. This leads to numerous cops being no better to deal with than the criminals which roam Kilbride's streets. These officers aren't above taking bribes or harassing citizens which they believe they can extort.

Duplication:
Locke possesses the ability to duplicate the abilities and skills of any human through limited physical contact. This limited contact can be as simple as pressing one hand against his target for a matter of seconds. It should be noted in the case of metahuman abilities, that such limited contact does not come with the training of how to control the duplicated abilities. Metahuman abilities are also easier to duplicate if in use. If the abilities however aren't in use they take longer to duplicate, sometimes completely failing. This is dependent upon the nature of the ability, an ability like super strength is notably easier for Locke to duplicate than an ability like telepath. Complex abilities which require secondary abilities like how a pyrokinetic would need heat resistance is also notably more difficult to duplicate. Skills take longer than abilities to duplicate as Locke needs to also duplicate the training behind the skill. Skills can be duplicated hand in hand with abilities which can potentially make the abilities that much more potent as Locke is likely to inherit the training behind said ability. This does run a risk, especially while Locke is untrained in his abilities, of putting him under too much strain which can cause Locke to either burn out or fall unconscious. Lastly, a notable factor is whether a target is willing or resisting Locke's ability. As duplication doesn't come with any ill side effects to the target, many people don't even know what Locke is doing, and thus it tends to go over much easier than it could if the target was aware of what was happening and resisted Locke.

Absorption:
As Locke's power advances he'll not only be able to duplicate the abilities and skills of a target but absorb them temporary along with knowledge and information. Locke's power will work nearly the same as with duplication however it requires longer physical contact and the use of both his hands to work. Unlike duplication, absorption can render the target unconscious or even kill them if contact is too prolonged. While Locke is absorbing abilities and skills, the original target will be unable to use them or will be drastically weakened especially in the case of abilities. Also in order for Locke to absorb information or knowledge from a target he must be touching their head. This process is more painful than absorbing their abilities or skills and will almost definitely end with the target unconscious, with a much higher risk of killing them. Locke also runs the risk of absorbing the psyche of his target if they fall unconscious and especially if they were to die.

Unlike abilities and skills, knowledge and information isn't immediately forgotten when Locke's target recovers. Skills however if absorb multiple times can eventually be fully learned by Locke where as abilities will always need to be duplicated or absorbed. With rare exceptions to this rule if Locke were to live with a metahuman he may be able to eventually absorb enough of their ability to use it without requiring physical contact with the host.

If Locke's body is sufficiently weakened or injured he's also able to absorb the life force of another human. While this power can restore Locke's strength and physical condition, it severely weakens the original host and if Locke didn't let go could very quickly lead to their death.

Power Mixing:
In the case of Locke absorbing or duplicating at least two powers, he may be able to mix the abilities to create a new power. For example, if Locke were to gain cryokinesis and pyrokinesis he may be able to mix the two abilities to give himself vapor or steam manipulation. This of course is a highly advanced technique which takes many years to master due to the fact that Locke has to first master the duplication or absorption of multiple abilities and their uses before being able to mix two together.

Accelerated Probability: The power to predict the outcomes of certain situations and what choices one should make when confronted with those situations.The user has ability to see all the variables of any situation and predict the outcome. When utilizing this ability, the user sees paths projected in front of them, illuminating possible courses of action, they can then foresee the best tactic, and accelerate themselves along that path.

Causality Perception: The user is able to perceive all cause and effect relations. They can notably deduce the path leading to any effect, allowing him to plan, analyze, and take action with absolute efficiency.

In a fighting situation, the user can perfectly adapt to all factors before they even appear, achieving maximum efficiency in offense, defense, and strategy, ensuring optimal success as long as there is the slightest chance.

As a strategist, the user can always achieve optimal results (depending on the means at their disposal), perfectly anticipating all variables and their opponents' every move. These calculations can lead to extremely complicated planning in the long run, which always end up being successful.

As scientists, they can discover new theories and invent new technologies with incredible ease, as they can automatically deduce the correct path to the desired result and remove the need for trial/error basic protocol.

The user can instantly understand anything by perceiving all the causes/effects it is currently made of, as well as all the previous ones that leaded to this state. For example, a simple glance at someone would be enough to learn their nature, personality, history, expectations, strengths, weaknesses, etc. The perception can also be turned to the person's future, its many paths, their probabilities, and the one which will eventually be realized.

Criminals with this power could execute perfect crimes very easily, as they would know exactly which actions would lead to their arrest and which wouldn't, by knowing all possible consequences (effect) of each individual action (cause).

In short, users are flawless tacticians. They understand everything, are always several steps ahead of everyone else, are impossible to catch off-guard, and always achieve the best possible results.

Accelerated Perception: The power to slow one's perception of time. The user's mind and senses process information at such speeds that time appears to have slowed down, allowing them to perceive what would normally be moving too fast to see and respond accordingly.

Body Language Analysis: The power to intuitively read others' body language and anticipate their actions.The user can intuitively read others' body language, allowing them to anticipate their actions and respond accordingly, often allowing the user to predict opponent's attacks.

Mechanical Intuition: The power to have an innate understanding of mechanics with little or no study. The user can observe random scattered "junk" and subconsciously or effortlessly create a schematic then create an effective creation or device using said "junk". Could be used to make complex devices or weapons out of mere scrap and "garbage".

Also known as a photographic memory, Caleb has the ability to recall any part of his past, or something he's seen, heard, tasted, smelled or felt in great detail. Cal's father always attributed this particular trait to Cal's mother who also possessed the ability.

Cal's known for having keen eyes which are rarely ever still. Cal's eyes are constantly shifting back and forth as he takes in and memorizes his surroundings. Not only does he do it by sight but by sound and smell as well. His skills of observation are uncanny, especially when combined with eidetic memory. This skill greatly contributes to his prowess in the field of mentalism as well as his substantial deduction skills. When Cal was younger, it was his mother who taught him to always keep his eyes open and be continuously be aware of his surroundings.

Caleb has very highly developed mental and intuitive abilities. The ability to read body language heavily contributes to this, Caleb can even listen to heartbeats, and will often take a hold of his target by their wrist to gauge their heartbeats. Another ability that contributes to Cal's mentalism, is his ability to observe and remember every detail in a room, or his surroundings, even details that may seem insignificant at first. With the use of all this, Caleb is able to apply his mentalism to subliminally manipulate his subjects, or even psychological influence them. Cal's use of mentalism can lead to people mistaking him for psychic, something which he tires of hearing as he doesn't believe in magic. Though he has used this to his advantage before.

A natural at isolating patterns and summoning conclusions from a variety of facts and figures, Cal is able to solve various mysteries, and rather enjoys doing so. This makes him somewhat invasive as Cal seems to crave to solve almost anything that someone else regards as a secret. Cal makes special use of this skill when looking over his mother's old case files, especially due to the fact his mother taught him the skills.

Due to his aptitude in the art of observation, Cal is often able to mimic and imitate people including their body languages and habits. Add to this a disguise and Cal is a capable under cover operative. Cal's vocal range is fairly impressive,allowing him to manipulate it into various voices including imitations of the voices of others. Though this can fall through quite often, as Cal's imitations aren't perfect and anyone who knows the person he's attempting to imitate will easily be able to tell the difference.

Caleb has always had a natural gift for strategy whether through playing Chess with his grandfather and father as a child or reading the Art of War. His ability to read people and predict their actions has also helped. One summer, Landon roped Cal into helping him coach a little league football team and Cal was easily able to ensure victory for each game much to Landon's surprise as Cal had never picked up a football in his life. Caleb can think for either himself whether in combat or simply planning ahead, known both for issuing quick orders on his feet and for laying out an elaborate scheme in advance.

Proficient with a camera, Cal's quite the photographer having won a few contests earlier in his highschool career. Mainly Cal uses the his skills while watching and listening around the school, Whether running up his own 'leads' on personal 'cases' or simply helping out one of his friends. Cal is skilled at being subtle with a camera and remaining hidden when he wishes to be.

Showing aptitude with a wide number of electronics, especially computers, Cal is quite successful with handling and working on almost any piece of technology he comes across. There's a bit of a blurred line whether this is an actually aptitude or his passive technopathy coming out of him. Proficient with writing code, soldering circuit boards, hacking and a great manner of other technological skills.

Cal is capable with a wide variety of tools and is easily able to figure out those which he has never used. Quite handy with tools, Cal can build a wide number of mechanical devices however he's not too good with wood. But generally Cal is a competent with working with metals and electronics.

Cal is highly skilled at designing and building all manner of items, ranging from a homemade motorized skateboard to a highly versatile disc like weapon. Cal's skills are fully attributed to the passive technopathy he absorbed from his father. These skills allow him to come up with various concepts, visualize the design and construct it either out of the necessary parts or recommission what he has to emulate the desired result.

Light and fast with his hands, Cal's dexterity with tools transfer over to his hands making him a skilled pickpocket. Normally he doesn't use this skill but he decided to hone it for situations when he needs keys to get into places he normally otherwise couldn't. Once again, this was a skill his mother had taught him.

Cal's first costume is made out of retrofitted motorcycle armor. The suit consists of biker pants which are composed a thick leather layer along with injection molded armor on the shins and outer thighs. The injection molded armor is a type of armor that is made of polycarbonate of plastic raisin molded into specific pieces. The plastic plates are typically lined with foam for additional protection.The molded armor is supported by ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam which absorbs the force the outer shell distributes even to minimize the damage. On Cal's feet, he wears high-speed racing boots which are made of a composite shell. The boots provide more than enough protection in the case of sliding across the pavement on top of being quite comfortable. Cal modified the sole to retain its durability but maximize its flexibility in order to make the boots more effective. The toes and heels of the boots are enforced by steel for extra protection and offensive capabilities. .

On his torso, Cal doubles up in protection wearing both an armored shirt and an armor enforced jacket. Cal's armored shirt is made of a breathing fabric and then layered with injection molded armor backed by a layer of EVA foam. Added to the mix are materials that are flexible and soft like a liquid until smacked with pressure, at which point they turn rigid enhancing the protection. This is primarily mixed into the chest plate whereas the segmented pieces on the shoulders, upper arms, and forearms are primarily just made of molded armor and EVA foam. Cal's jacket is made of thick leather and Kevlar reinforced with carbon-fiber supports and molecular armor. A second, chest protector similarly composed like the one in his undershirt is also present in his jacket. Unlike the undershirt, the jacket's chest plate is weak in the middle due to the zipper running down it. The forearms are additionally supported with further shock plates which help to distribute the force blocked during defensive moves. Back armor is built directly into a jacket in order to support and reinforce Cal's spine.

The gloves of the outfit are made of an Exoskeleton armor that combines Kevlar and leather with carbon-fiber reinforcements in areas like the knuckles that tend to be slide points. The tips of the finger tips have been altered to allow Cal to work touchscreen devices without taking the gloves off. The entire suit has also been insulated in order to protect Cal from the electric based weapons that he himself loves to employ.

Cal wears long blue scarf that after being wrapped around his neck and lower face hangs to his waist. He uses the scarf to primarily conceal the lower half of his face, though Cal honestly just liked how it looked. To top off his costume, Cal wears a horned cowl with red one way lenses, the area around the eyes is further emphasized in order to make them more intimidating. Cal has recoloured his outfit to mainly black, but with blue and grey highlights. For example the he has blue lines on his torso emphasizing the muscle shaped armor moldings and the horns on his cowl are blue.

-Flashlight: Cal keeps a high-powered LED flashlight on his utility belt. Despite having a small size, the handle is weighted enough to be used as a small weapon, on top of that, the front of the flashlight can act like a tazer with hidden electrodes that can give a sharp zap if one were to use it as a prod.
-Zip Ties: Standard law enforcement issued zip ties, Cal uses carries enough of them to subdue quite a few criminals in one night. Without a rather sharp knife they are incredibly difficult to get off.
-Pepper Spray: Standard law enforcement issued pepper spray. Can easily temporarily blind most opponents with a rather harsh attack to the face.
-Smoke Bombs: Homemade smoke bombs which when broken open such as by being thrown against the floor or the wall, give off a thick cloud of sulfur smelling smoke. This can provide a variable amount of cover depending on the air flow in the area.
-Plastique: Plastique is a soft and hand moldable solid form of explosive material. Within the field of explosives engineering, plastic explosives are also known as putty explosives. Cal carries a small amount on his belt which he can use to blow open walls or cause distractions depending on how he uses it.
-Tools: Cal carries a small assortment of tools on his belt, primarily three smaller multi-tools which contain an assortment of tools including screwdrivers, pliers, and other useful tools.
-Tactical Knife: A sharp blade capable of slicing through a multitude of materials. Cal uses this to get out of literally binds and sometimes as a last resort melee weapon.
-Glock 34: Cal's hand pistol, a Glock 34, which is worn on his right thigh on a second belt which is linked to his main utility belt is the former side arm of his mother before her death. Cal mainly uses the weapon as an intimidation factor but will resort to it if he absolutely has to.
-Chakram: Cal's primary weapon is a custom built Chakram which is linked to his 'Glitch Device' allowing him to either throw it manually or control it remotely through the device. The Chakram is able to freely sustain itself in the air through rotating inner discs which can also tilt to allow the Chakram to steer itself. On top of this, the Chakram is able to generate an electrical field to give off a devastating shock upon contact, further more through use of the 'Glitch Device' the Chakram can be programmed for a chain lightning like attack. The Chakram's edge is partially retractable, as it retracts its razor edge in order to avoid harm to the wrong people but the edge is extended when the Chakram needs to be used strategically. The Chakram can also be recalled at anytime through the use of the 'Glitch Device'.
-Telescoping Staff: Cal carries a collapsing telescoping staff on his belt, that when collapsed is a length of one foot and hangs off the left side of his belt. When extended, the staff triples in length. It can only be used in one hand as the staff is electrified with the push of a button once extended. The hilt where Cal can safely grip the staff is roughly nine inches in length, the rest of it has exposed electrodes on it which allows the tazer charge to arc up and down the staff giving off an eerie electric show warning any who crosses IllAdvised he will leave them in pain.

Roanna has the ability to speed up the naturally occurring vibrations of atoms in matter to alter temperature, more often to the point of ignition. At low levels, she can light a single candle with such a delicate flame and simply make it dance around as if the wind were blowing. At a higher level, Roanna could potentially put out flames or even condense and form a large amount of fire into what looks like a solid object like a flying phoenix or a very large hammer and guide it to her will. In high areas of stress, Roanna will simply just explode, sending out a rippling effect of fire with her being the center, obliterating anything within a mile radius (at most). The only drawback to this particular power is that she has to be able to feel those particular atoms in order to combust them into fire, which means she must use her hands to feel the air around her. If her hands are injured or in a situation where she isn’t able to use them properly, this ability renders completely useless. With enough focus, her mind and touch receptors are able to work together so that she could potentially ‘feel’ the atoms of an area up to three blocks away, though the farther away the atoms, the lower the intensity of heat. Because of this ability, Roanna’s temperature naturally runs hot, her average temperature being about 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Warm weather, as you can imagine doesn’t bother Roanna in the slightest, if anything it just makes this power stronger. However, exposed to cold weather she will get very sick very fast and will be unable to produce any fire to keep herself warm after a while.

Under high amounts of stress, Roanna’s body seems to react instinctively and goes into survival mode, coating her body in an invisible layer of one of two substances. Though she hasn’t learned to control either of them yet, both render to be very effective shields. The first kind of shield is made out of pure, raw heat. Much like the heat that encircles the sun, if any small flying debris were to fly at Roanna, it would be dust before it even reached her. Larger objects of course are much slower to decay as they don’t reach the heat of the shield until about a foot away, but even with larger object impact this shield substantially reduces the blow. This does not, however, protect her from falling from high places as the most it could do is burn the grass below her or slightly melt the asphalt and so on.

The second type of shield her body is able to produce is that of pure energy. Small objects will practically just bounce off of her while larger objects (like the heat shield) won’t ever reach their maximum impact. When Roanna advances her skills, she will be able to feel the energy around someone (given that they are within 20 feet of her) and be able to put an energy shield on them for a short period of time. This however leaves her completely vulnerable as she cannot make two shields at once. If one were to fall while using this energy shield, the impact will be softened by 50%, so as a deadly fall will only cause a few broken bones and a fall that would normally break bones would just leave sore muscles and bruises. This is exceptionally useful when Roanna runs over the rooftops and misjudges a jump.

Farther down the road when Roanna has a better grasp on her abilities, she will be able to immensely heat up the area immediately surrounding her so much that it cannot only let her hover in the air a few inches, being able to move around the room, but also while jumping from high places, she will be able to ‘glide’ through the air and cover large amounts of distance so long as she can keep her balance throughout and her concentration on heating the air around her.

With more advanced training, and a couple mishaps now and then, Roanna is subject to short-term 'spurts' of energy that can help aid her in combat. Whether it's a quick boost to get a head start in running or enough concentration that she is able to short circuit an entire square blocks power. It also wouldn't be uncommon under very focused times when all of her fire abilities listed above 'upgrade' into a sort of electrical field...or even lightning.

Roanna has the gift (if you want to call it that) to talk her way out of almost any situation. She can be very persuasive. Her manipulation can go anywhere from convincing a friend that she is fine to getting a complete stranger to believe she is someone she isn’t. Call it acting, but she is definitely convincing.

Roanna has always tested high-above-average in the academic system as her mind seems to be able to retain the knowledge she reads in a separate part of her brain that most people never use. As only a Junior in High school, she is already prepping for taking college classes next year.

Cassie has the ability to manipulate the flow of time around her, pushing herself into a self-dubbed 'Focus State', slowing down the world but not herself, and allowing her prescience of actions, movements, and events a few seconds into the future.

This Focus State allows her to hit any manner of targets with extreme ease, move faster than the average person otherwise can, avoid and counter incoming strikes, and extrapolate from her prescience to predict future events - but only by minutes or hours, rather than days or weeks.

Currently, Cassie can only bring on this 'Focus State' with deep concentration, rhythmic breathing, and forcing an intense calm upon herself, upon which the state is granted for mere moments, allowing her to make the single perfect shots she currently uses her power for.

As a necessity of her 'occupation', Cassie has learnt great patience, and can remain waiting, expecting, or even outlasting any number of situations and opportunities. She can keep herself for hours upon hours on end, awaiting her perfect moment.

Naturally, Cassie has a great tolerance for the climate around her, whether emotional, mental, or meteorological. This natural tolerance has only been trained by her current 'employment', and she is able to remain in awkward positions, cold weather, or under heavy mental or emotional duress, for extended periods of time without deep wounding on any level, or any visible signs of distress or injury.

As a prerequisite of her ability, Cassie has learnt to successfully exert immense control over her own emotional state, removing the risk of passion or distress to her ability to analyse her surroundings, make decisions, and function under pressure. However, she doesn't allow this to affect her personal relationships when she can - namely, not wanting to alienate her sister from her. Cassie can act normally, even wearing her heart on her sleeve - but when she needs to, she can become impassioned and completely calm.

(All of this unkown to Makarios as of now)

Makarios comes from a long line of warriors, the Kidemonas (the Protectors), born with power since the height of power for the ancient Greeks. He is, in fact, a meta, but his powers have gone through many changes through the ages. Whereas most meta-genes apparently weren’t inherited down through so many ages, his were. His bloodline had once been a clan that could actually transform into animals, adopting the properties of those animals. They had evolved, though, to being able to commune with the spirits of the purest forms of animals, finding harmony with them using their abilities in battles. Some could even call an astral form of the animal to their aid. One such member of the ancient clan had been known to call an entire squadron of spirit animals to his aid in battle. Another was able talk and influence real animals while coating them in the auras of their spirit animals, and she was renowned as the leader for many years. His clan’s powers had varied throughout the years, but had all centered around a harmony with animals. At a time where the norm in his clan had been the ability to commune with many spirit animals, a sect developed in his clan that opposed the hierarchy and rules of his ancient bloodline. They cried for attention from the rest of the world, as Makarios’ clan made it a point to only be known to a certain few and intervene only in large scale wars for the side of good.

‘The legend goes that the Kidemonas, split as they were, waged war within their clan from the turmoil that began to brew. The war leveled cities and tore across plains as different factions in their territory began to turn. Their fighting was of such ferocity that even the gods began to take hold concern, for these men and women had been chosen and favored by the gods with these gifts to help the world, not fight amongst themselves.

The fighting waged on for years, not dying down, but growing in intensity. Innocent lives within the vast clan were slaughtered and even blood outside of the clan was spilled. The Kidemonas were truly spitting on the very gifts that gods had given them. In a rage, the gods broke one of their most sacred of vows: to never directly meddle in the affairs of man. Their enraged fury engulfed all of those in the battle, sapping their strength from them with a holy and divine life. It broke the the clouds and permeated both air and through stone. Men and women of the Kidemonas fell to their knees and cried out in agony as the gods wreaked their punishment. But they saved the most severe punishment for the man who incited the riot. Apophis, was his name. And for him, the gods took a special interest, lifting his body up from the ground and bathing it in a golden light for all to see. There was a moments pause where all was silent on the battlefied. And then, with a cry, Apophis cried out as the gods flooded his mind with every animal he had ever communed with. They ravaged and razed his mind with thoughts of a bestial nature and rage he had never felt before. All of the animals began to vie for control at once, each one overpowering the next. Apophis became a shell of a man as he descended back to the earth. And just like that, the fighting ceased. All would lay down their arms and fell to their knees.

In the time that came, the Kidemonas would find their powers no more. The gods had doled out their punishment, and though the clan cried out for mercy, the gods felt that the fact that they had breath to cry out was mercy enough. Their decision was final. And with that, they wiped all traces of the Kidemonas, short of killing the Kidemonas themselves, from the face of the world.

But even the gods, in their anger and slight arrogance, could not deny that the world needed as much good as it could muster. And they would be fools to completely wipe out the Kidemonas. They blessed one of the smaller of the Kidemonas clan, the family that would later develop into the house of Lillis and others, with a key to unlock their sleeping power. The amulet. An amulet that channeled and rebirthed their ability to commune with spirit animals. In addition to this, the amulet also provided a pathway to all of their latent abilities, but a warrior chosen to wear the amulet must first reach a level of communion with the amulet past just a stage of cohabitation. It was in this way that the gods ensured that no matter how bad the world got, a ray of light would always be able to shine forth.

It is even said that, in some, the amulet can become one with the wearer, granting unimaginable power. Few Chosen warriors have reached this apex of symbiosis with the amulet, and it remains a legend among those who don the responsibility of the amulet....
