Name: Jude Styles

Appearance:


Age: 18

Gender: Male

Experiment Type: Jude was given a new robot body, built for him by Dr. Robert Veiss

Powers:

• He is able to lift about 400 Lbs. of weight
• He is made of a highly flexible metal compound, able to take much more damage than a human. About double the amount in both pressure and temperature.
• He has two blades in which he is very proficient at using.
• He has standard color vision, thermal vision, and X-ray vision.
• He has a compound bow with 10 reusable arrows.
• He has an AI implanted in his robot body, that triples his thinking speed, short-term, and long-term memory.
• He has afterburners in his back, able to give him a quick speed boost. They fling him at about 30 MPH, for about 3 seconds at max.

Weaknesses:

• A simple EMP grenade will incapacitate him for about 10 seconds.
• His wounds do not heal, he must repair them.
• His steps are loud, and his cooling fan constantly emits a soft hum.
• After more than 3 seconds of use, his Afterburners begin to melt him.
• If one were to hack into him, they could largely restrict his free will.
• He is reckless in combat, and not a team player.
• He has not used his bow much, and knows little about bows work.

Bio: Jude was a simple boy. Born in a small city, and born into a loving, but poor, family. He was frequently depressed, and felt he didn't fit in at school. He wasn't ridiculously smart or athletic, so he felt he didn't have any strengths. That was, until he found out about Kendo. He was a sword fighting prodigy; he loved it, he practiced everyday, and it gave him self-esteem and ambition. But when he was 15, he was put in a coma due to a car accident he got into while he was walking home from school. His family spent all their money trying to save him, and went into crippling debt. But he wasn't able to be saved, and the Styles were left with no son, and no money. Then, Veiss showed up, and offered all debts wiped, for the brain of their son. Very reluctantly, they agreed. 3 years later, Jude was revived- and he didn't like it.

Name:Alex Little

Appearance: Short and wiry, a small frame that fits his name. His skin is unnaturally pale, and seems to be almost translucent at times. His face is thin and a little haggard, and his dark brown eyes constantly dart about. His hair is short and black.

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Experiment Type: Mutagenics, specialized clothing and weaponry to complement powers

Powers: Alex's powers are a mixture designed to keep him both safe, and as far away from the center of attention as possible. Alex's skin can change colors to match his surrounding area, while not totally invisible, makes him hard to see when not looking for him, and nearly impossible to find in the dark. He also has heightened senses, allowing him to see in near pitch darkness, and navigate by sound in complete darkness. In addition to his powers he is equipped with a jumpsuit that changes color along with his skin, developed by the doctor using skin cells from the last batch of experiments. When not using his powers it looks like plain, white, workman's jumpsuit. Finally Alex has a dagger and sheath. While the dagger's hilt and sheath also blend with him, the blade does not. If he keeps it sheathed, it remains camouflaged with him.

Weaknesses: Alex has little to no combat skills, and would quickly lose any fight where he didn't have the element of surprise. If caught in broad daylight, he'd be found if looking close enough. Also sensitive to bright lights and sounds due his heightened senses. A flashbang would render him useless.

Bio: Alex was always a punk, a delinquent, but above all, he was a coward. He avoided conflict all his life, despite the fact he would often start it with joking and needling others whenever he felt he could get away with it. A rap sheet of petty theft, vandalism, and hooliganism led to the book getting thrown at him after being caught breaking and entering, and charged with a felony. Alex was given a choice, three years in prison or six months of government sanctioned medical trials. The choice was obvious.

After nearly two and a half years of experimentation, his humor changed as well, developing into a mixture of mania and sardonic fatalism.

Name: Sophie Hendrix

Appearance:

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Experiment Type: Initially one of Dr. Victor's failed experiments, but later a fully realized product of Prof. Talia's.

Powers:

• Able to fly.
• Breath fire.
• Increased senses and reflexes.
• Moderate increase of strength.

Weaknesses:

• Extreme cold can affect her significantly. She becomes slow and lethargic until she adjusts.
• Water can have a similar effect though not nearly to the same degree. More of a inconvenience than anything.
• Her high body temperature makes it nearly impossible to hide from thermal imaging.
• Her appearance also make it difficult to hide out in public.

Bio: Sophie started out as one of Victor's attempts to make a higher caliber fire wielder. Having gone through several subjects the experiments always ended with the test subject bursting into a spectacular blaze. While watching people burn alive was entertaining and all when his last lab rat looked to end in the same manner he moved on to work on more promising ventures. Left to die from the inside out what ended up saving her was Talia.

That is not to say she was much better off. The professor's methods were quite unusual. Being an archeologist, Talia has amassed quite a few relics of the past. Most are informational and used for research. But occasionally some very special items come into her possession. Things of legend and myth were what Talia intended to prove were just as legitimate as science. With strange potions containing who knows what to ancient rituals, Sophie's transformation began to take shape. Each passing day she became more creature like and less human. The girl adapted to the high temperatures that her body was constantly running at, developed scales across her body, grew claws on her hands and feet, the spine elongated and segmented into a whip like tail, and the even more obvious wings developed. As far as Talia was concerned the dragon was reborn. Interestingly enough Sophie was not often overly aggressive toward Talia. Despite the painful and bizarre process she did save the young woman's life. Whether the behavior is instinctual of a conscious decision is unknown. What is for sure is that she will not hesitate to try and harm Victor.

Name: Bethany Hooke



Age: 18

Gender: Female

Experiment Type: Biological, with heavy microbiology and symbiosis. Entirely a "child" of Dr. Vicktor Veiss, and in fact the microbes used in the experiment were a product of Vicktor's attempts to recycle defective biological matter.

Powers: Biological assimilation. Colonies of unique microbial life living in the body(the "heart" of the colony is the appendix) can break down any biological matter in a much larger format than typical digestion. Digestion, of course, simply breaks matter down for its chemical energy. These colonies break biological matter down into larger pieces, and can assimilate them for various purposes.

1) Repair. These micro-organisms are in every part of the body, and an open wound exposes them. Any biological matter can be applied, and the micro-organisms will rearrange it to patch the damaged area. Matter that is already broken down saves the microbes a step, and allows quicker repair. This has the added benefit of making infection impossible, as any pathogen that tries to infect will simply be assimilated.
(Layman's terms: rub organic stuff into wounds, heals. Rotting stuff can heal quicker. Gross!)

2) Mimicry. The microbes "learn" to reconstruct things they have deconstructed before. Macro-biological structures can be recreated in the hosts pre-existing system of organs. The microbe's integration into the host's nervous system allows them to be directed in this task, but not entirely controlled. Occasionally they will make apparent executive decisions, and mimic structures against the host's will.
(Layman's terms: Eat a plant? Get chlorophyll and photosynthesize! Bite a snake's head off, acquire venomous fangs!
But also: got sprayed by a skunk? Microbes think that's a fantastic defense mechanism, and reconstruct it on your body).

Cleansing: The body can be reset completely to normal with about a pint of healthy human blood(ingested or injected). The host cannot target which mimicked faculties to remove, so a body reset is a last resort if unwanted characteristics are present. The microbes work fast, but depending on the level of change, it could take up to two hours to fully restore the body.

Weaknesses: The cleansing function of the microbes is well documented(and intentional) by Dr. Veiss, and can be used as a weapon to remove any extra "powers" the host has acquired. A few hypo darts loaded with human blood will return the host to normal. It is also possible to assimilate features quite accidentally, and they are not always beneficial.

Bio: Bethany was raised, quite intentionally, by only her mother. She was homeschooled, and brought up as a vegan with a thorough respect for all living things. She didn't have much opportunity to socialize, and when her mother died of a preventable illness, there was no where for her to go. When she lost the apartment they had previously shared she ended up on the streets, where she was quickly picked up by the resident mad scientist.

Name: Taryn Noskova

Appearance:
Size: 5'3"



Age: Body 14, mind 18

Gender: female

Experiment Type: Postnatal Genetic Modification

Powers: Creating sticky bubbles, like bubblegum. They are able to hold down people or items of any kind, use them to climb walls or buildings. The bubbles will only be able to be dissolved by Cherry Juice. Don't ask why.
At the moment Taryn is trying to develop more uses for her bubbles and maybe get new functions for them, like Sound Busters, bubbles that explode with an ear shattering sound.

Weaknesses: She is absolutely unable to do physical violence and she can't endure pain, especially not physical pain.

Bio: Taryn is the daughter of a Russian and a Canadian. As was rather rare for girls her age, she tended to hang around her male classmates a lot. Although she was rather giddy and bubbly, she strongly disliked the bratty girls her own age.
She was kidnapped at the age of 14 and modified. Her modifications include a genetic mod that stops Taryn's biological aging. That doesn't mean that she doesn't age, just her body doesn't. This change also means, she will always keep having childish personality traits. Due to her kidnapping, she is highly skittish around science guys.

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Experiment Type: Mutagenics - Through days of torturous experimentation he was perfected. Jordan was gifted with an array of additional organs and muscles all throughout his body which would give him enhanced:

Powers:Strength - able to lift 600lbs with little to no effort
Speed - able to reach a top speed of about 80mph
Durability - Able to withstand extreme levels of hot or cold
Dark Arts - He was Given the ability of cosmetic change to hide his true appearance, due to the addition of the muscles it causes his body to look like a hulking mass of muscle. The good professor however using her dark arts shrank the size of the additional muscles causing others to see him as a normal 16yr old boy.

Weaknesses: While concealed to most the additional muscles are still there and so are the additional veins, Jordan has to great weaknesses:
1) with all the extra muscle he was left With only one heart. This means while he can perform amazing feats of strength he can only keep it up for at longest 20min any longer he runs the risk of his heart bursting in his chest.
2) Like a cheetah he can only keep up his maximum speed for about 15min before his legs give out and are all but useless for the next hour or so.
with both of his weaknesses having time restraints he wears a two timers one on his leg the other on his arm his armband is always set with a 20min timer, and his ankleband set to 15min. before he uses either of his abilities he will start the appropriate timer. should either of these be tampered with or taken away he will not use the desired ability

Bio: Monster, brute, psycho, these were a few of the names Jordan suffered with coming up from the kids and even some of the adults in his neighborhood. But it wasnt his fault he was big for his age (14), it also didnt help that he was adopted and felt like a burden on his adoptive parents so at the age of fifteen he ran away thinking it would make things easier on his parents he thought nothing of there feelings. this ultimately caused him to be placed again in another orphanage that a family came to and were looking for a strong child and instantly noticed him this family was sent on orders of the doctor to acquire him specifically but never adopted he was bought and since there was no papertrail noone would come looking aside from his name his mind was wiped and the experiments had begun...
