Name: HTS Investigator, Agent Benson Halther
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Status: Investigator in a division of the police force specifically trained to investigate and take down Hexes; not much of note in the past 3 months.
Powers/Abilities: Crack shot - one of the best men in the Police Force with a gun.
Bio: Benson Halthar was born in Michigan and was raised to a somewhat wealthy family of cops. Going through school with decent performance, he took up a career in the Police Force. His aim and a few lucky strikes against class D hexes (and one class B) earned him an opportunity to join the Hex Termination Squad portion of the Police force as a junior investigator, an opportunity he readily accepted. He joined as one of the younger members to be offered the position of agent investigator; he was only 28 when most that join were around 30.
Since joining the force, he has proven himself a capable agent and fine investigator, having assisted in taking down several D’s, C’s and B’s over the past eight years, and twice helping to take down A’s (although only one of those he actually managed to take down with a gun, the other died because of his own mistake). He is now respected as being one of the finer hands in the Force and one of the first men to come to a scene with suspected Hex activity.

Name: Roither Stallman “The Bender”
Age: 57
Gender: Male
Race: Hex

Status: On the run from authorities; attempting to recruit others to join his cause.
Powers/Abilities
Extreme Flexibility: He’s capable of bending through average jail bars, squeezing through air vents, anything else that normal humans wouldn’t be able to do. Of course, he won’t go so far as to make himself into a piece of cheese trying to go through mesh - he should have his bodily components together when doing this, and he isn’t capable of going into too tight of spaces. He definitely won’t be going under cracks of doors. Sharp edges are bad and an easy wa to keep him out unless he really decides he wants to get cut up; he can bend his parts back into shape if say, his neck is bent a wrong way or if he dislocates his shoulder (having the pain that would come with those things if they were done without his will, otherwise it feels uncomfortable), but things like bullet wounds and all out cuts aren’t going to be simple and can sometimes be worse if he bends the affected part of the body in his special way.
Strong Fighter: Not the most muscular (rather bendy, in fact - imagine that?), but at the same time he is able to hold his own against anyone untrained in fighting (unless he is up against guns - there he is only average), and able to make some pretty good punches on someone who knows his stuff too.
Bio: Roither Stallman is a living example of defying the superstitions that had arisen around his kind’s lifespan; that is, if people knew enough about him to actually know his age. His parents had died when he was only 15, killed for being Hex supporters. It is from his parents in that short time that he learned how to fight. Roither was jailed himself after lobbying for the rights of what he would soon to realize were his brothers.
He had discovered his power after literally sliding through the casually made bars of his first jail cell. Escape proved easy, as he had the advantage of surprise and his fighting skills to support him. It wasn't until later that people realized exactly what happened…
He spent the majority of his life after that taking steadily more advanced measures of fighting for what he felt was right, going from arranging protests that were put down to setting pipe bombs in the doorways of officials and causing chaos, all the while condemning humans for their “new era of racism”. He is not stupid in that he will go out and do these things himself; he tends to recruit others and the amount they know of what they are actually doing varies, following the one time he was sent to jail for participating in one of the protests. He was labelled a “Dangerous Terrorist” by just about all state and national law organizations and remains on the list of the Top Wanted Hexes today when he escalated his activities. He is classified as class B, even though he is honestly more of a C, due to the difficulties of capturing him and his combat skills getting him out of sticky situations in the very few times he has gotten himself in them. Recently, he hasn’t gone far, being forced to lay low for many years. His time is growing short, his reflexes are slowing down, and he isn’t going to win one of these days. He needs to make a final bang that the world will remember, and possibly find some assistants to do it.

Bio: not much to say of her past. she was leading a normal life until the age of 10 years old when she discovered her abilities. for about a year she managed to hide them until she was found out by her parents when their house caught fire. immediately after she was released from the hospital; she was reported to the police by her own parents and was soon arrested and imprisoned. this caused Ace to lose trust and love for others, including those who truly want to help her. she built walls around her heart and became an emotionless empty shell so no one would hurt her again.

Name:Drex

Age:15

Gender: male

Race:Hex

Status: rebellion

Bio: Drex does not remember anything at all from any part of his life before this, except for his name, and the cold, the freezing... Ice.He has also been keeping a watch on the others like him. He attended the speech about Hex. He thinks he should not be a fugitive for being different than everyone else, He needs to help himself and the other hex to be free of discrimination.

Name: Apollo (the name that the humans gave him, he doesn't know what his real name was)
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Race: Hex
Status: enslaved, turned into a weapon, almost siding with them
Bio: Apollo has been a weapon for the humans as long as he can remember. Every day he is put in a metal box and move to a spot where he is told to attack a person they called the "target" He would attack, defeat them and then he would be brought back to his room in prison where there was only one small beam of light in the room. This is all he knew and he felt satisfied. He was fed, he had a bed and a purpose. He knew nothing of the rebellion or that he was just like the very people he is fighting.
Powers/Abilities: can absorb sunlight and release it in many different ways (beams, orbs, light)
Appearance:

Name: Luciel Lucerne "Lucius Lumiere" ("Lulu" And hates it)
Age: Appears 18
Gender: Androgynous Male
Race: Hex
Status: Rebellion. Ex Enslaved
Bio: How useful would it be to have access to the secrets of photosynthesis? An end to the fuel crisis, global starvation, the works. Certainly, the one to stumble across such a find would be heralded as the next saint...even if it costs one boy a few sets of skin. His tissue samples could have proven useful specimens in unlocking that philosophers stone, if only the scientists knew what tests to run instead of cutting blindly. Luciel learned to use his powers to heal early on, since tests often left him raw from sampling. All it took was one act of sympathy; a flower, to lighten the mood.
2 years since the massacre which his escape resulted in, he endeavors to continue his retaliating strike by undoing the evils of mankind wherever they may rear their hideousness upon the Hex.
Luciel comes off a tad eccentric with bouts of effeminacy, finding it easier to lie about his gender rather than explain himself. This also hints to the ingrained cynicism which he does well to hide, developed during his time spent in captivity...as most of the Hex often acquire, it seems.

Powers/Abilities: Phytogenesis/Arborkineses (Manipulation over plant mater in its basest of senses)
-Breath of Life~ Luciel's power starts with the understanding of life potential. Most commonly used to bend the genesis of a simple seed into various tools and weapons with enough creativity, the idea behind the power is to control the process of growth. This can expand to the human genome, although human cells function in their own way contrary to plants. This power manages little more than aiding in regrowing damaged flesh for most fauna. His power requires a catalyst to force energy into, being unable to simply summon plants.
-Metabolic Independence~ Similar to photosynthesis, Luciel is mostly unreliant on conventional food for sustinance. However, this requires exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods of time which have stripped his skin and hair of most of its pigment. Even then, this is only a supplement, allowing him to go up to three weeks without food. (water is still a must)
-Ascencing~ Being in tune with life energy which his powers rely on, Luciel can feel life energy in close proximity. This can be excused as a sort of supernatural empathy, although emotions don't factor into the sense. Strength, vigor, weakness and malady are the strongest of tells.
-Wild Growth Summons~
=Sleeve Ace: Shrubotth
Class: Summoned Monster
Subtype: Plant (Vulnerable to fire and slash damage. Hardy and resistant to light-based energy)
At the cost of roughly 30-60-90% of Luciel's energy, he bestows savage sentience to a mass of plant material. Once the process is complete, Luciel lacks any control over the summon as it exists merely to grow, consume, and continue to grow.
(Stage 1)30%: Standard beast which grows to take up as much space as possible, perishes over the course of an hour.
(Stage 2)60%: Aggressive beast which grows slowly and defensively with means to attack and consume the unwary. Perishes over 3 hours
(Stage 3)90%: Malicious beast which grows in layers, expanding from within to protect its core. Meanwhile, it will grow to seek out consumable material which it employs poisons and traps to subdue. Its aim is survival and destruction. Perishes over 9-12 hours unless burnt down to its core. For very good reasons, Luciel never uses this stage.


(Subject to various edits, but you get the idea. Kinda done in a rush >_<)

Name: Marcus Grayeson

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Status: Reactivated "Special Activities" Operator

Biography: Marcus’s history is shrouded in secrecy, thanks to the shadowy government organizations he has worked for in the past. What can be gathered is he was raised in the rural countryside from a farming family. He was proficient in all his academic endeavors, graduating his high school at the top of his class. Though provided a college scholarship, Marcus instead turned his attention to the service of his country. He enlisted in the Navy initially as a special warfare boat-crewman, serving a few tours till taking up the BUD/S challenge to become a SEAL. Passing BUD/S challenge, he went and trained as an assault-man with the teams before deploying with them. He spent nearly have his career with the Navy as a SEAL before being approached for government work. Though skeptical to be working as a “intelligence officer,” Marcus none the less took the offer and became a full-time federal worker. From here, his past becomes black-lined until his retirement from “special activities” work and he starts living with his wife in the city.

After the public rise ups from the anomalies named “Hexes,” Marcus was approached by his former employers and asked to resume his “old work.” Declining the offer, he insisted he was finished with that aspect of his life and was about to return home to begin working as a farmer. That all changed when the love and pride of his life, his wife Sara, was murdered by a Hex he was trying to help. A phone call and some assessments later, Marcus was reactivated and put back into the game to hunt/eliminate those deemed as a “threat.” So far, he is credited with seizing and capturing of some of the most notorious “Hexes” and the “removal” of some the most powerful ones discovered by his employers. Marcus has currently, at his disposal, the full use of military and civilian resources in order to capture/neutralize “Hexes.”

Powers/Abilities: {Provided Below}
1.) Peak Physical Condition (i.e. able to still keep up with those half his age.)
2.) Special “Activities” Background (i.e. special operations warfare.)
3.) Assault Weapons Training (i.e. assault rifles, submachine guns, riot guns, etc.)
4.) Hand-to-Hand Combat Training (i.e. Krav Maga, Keysi Fighting Method, LINE Combat System.)

Appearance: {Provided Below}

Name: David Letterman
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Hex
Status: Enslaved/escaped
Bio: There isn’t much to say about his youth. He grew up with loving parents. When he first discovered he could blink. While he didn’t lack anything in particular, he was still a bit greedy. So sometimes, not too often, he would commit petty crimes like shoplifting (he just blinks in and out of the shop) or unauthorized access (he blinks passed the club bouncer). Eventually he was caught and put behind bars.

David is a cheery and happy kid. Though prison life has put a damper on it. He loathes fighting in most forms though understands that if it’s inevitable, he must give it his 100%. While he can be a little bit greedy, who with powers wouldn’t use it for their own comfort?

He could escape during the breakout of Ace and managed to pass the bulk of guards with his blink ability. Right now he’s in the forest, following the sound of talking of what he assumes are other Hexes.

Powers/Abilities:
Blink – an ability allowing him to travel short distances in an instance. Often in a blue-black flash he disappears and appears again. The blink ability can only be used over a short distance. Having a range of about 15 meters tops. He doesn’t need a direct line of sight, but he must remember the destination. For example: David cannot blink into a room he never saw before.

Dark claw – At close range he can envelop his fingers in black-purple, crystal-like claws. The claws are at the strength of steel. Ripping through flesh and clothes quite easily.

Dark needle – at longer ranges, David can form a long, black-purple, crystal-like needle that he can fire off. The longer he wants the needle to be, the longer he has to let it grow. But the longer it gets, the further it can strike. A minor detail: the needle floats in his palm. It doesn’t grow out of his skin. And it seems to be growing much like a plant on steroids.

Extra information: Dark energy that powers his claws, needle and blink ability are closely connected to bloodlust. The more he kills, the stronger his powers become. For example: with blink he will be able to go further, faster and more often. His claws will become bigger, covering his hand and maybe eventually his upper arm. Serving as protection if needed. The needle would grow faster, thicker and longer. However, it puts a great strain on his mental stability. All of this is still very much unknown as David never really went into a rampage before.

Name: Kyle Kruger
Age: 27
Gender: Male

Race: Human

Status: Field operations leader of "Storm Hound", a military task force formed from paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division to perform counter-insurgency warfare. Storm Hound and counterpart units represent an escalation of the growing war against Hexes, the military growing frustrated with the inability of the police to adequately deal with the threat, as well as repeated incursions against their installations.

Bio: Kyle Kruger has served in numerous wars prior to his latest deployment back home and against the Hex menace. Wracked by economic decline, world hunger, and a fuel crisis, the world saw numerous nations allied to the US fall into civil war, societal collapse and general disarray. In response, US military personnel subsequently found themselves being shuffled from one destination to the next, year after year, to try and combat this chaos.

While these wars proved even more costly and futile than their antecedents a century in the past, they proved influential for Kyle Kruger's later work. Through the course of his service, he compiled his observations and theorizations into a primer on the nature of unconventional warfare and combating guerrilla tactics. Eager to put his doctrine into practice against the new threat blossoming within his very nation, the emergence of the Hexes, he appealed for the creation of a new unit to deal with it. These plans manifested in Storm Hound, formed from around 50 other paratroopers from his battalion.

As an individual, Kyle Kruger has garnered something of a reputation for his exuberant eccentricity, earning him the moniker of "Smiles". His excitability is held to be unusual, and those close enough to him to be aware of them describe his views as "questionable." Despite efforts to whitewash his image, there remain many hard to squash rumors of past scandals and controversies he has been involved with. Regardless of these problems, he has proven himself to be a reliable and dedicated soldier.

Powers/Abilities:
- Power armor operation: Like all soldiers in his unit, Kyle Kruger is outfitted with an M62A2 "Petraeus" armored exoskeleton. While derided before the emergence of the Hexes as being prohibitively expensive and unsuited to the nature of America's latest wars, these suits are now looked upon favorably as a way to increase the survivability of ordinary humans when going toe to toe with the likes of these super beings. However, numbers are still required to deal with Hexes reliably, even with this advantage. The M62A2 "Petraeus" system provides superior mobility, protection, and weight carrying capacity to its user. One particular modification to the system for its service in the Storm Hounds, as per Kyle Kruger's personal request, is a rebreather piece that is used to administer various combat stimulants in a vapor form to the user.

- Proven in combat: As a veteran of several conflicts, he has more than a bit of an idea of what he's doing. Generally proficient at fighting.

- Tactician: A capable leader of his men, among whom he has instilled respect through his consistent ability to get results.
