Full Name: Antoinette "Ant" Pearce
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Birthday: April 3rd
Species: Mutant
Power: Persuasion. The user can compel people by speaking, the victims are unable to disobey; the seemingly cogent commandment is far too compelling. At high level, user can even persuade people into hurting/killing themselves, but can never cause victims to achieve what they are not capable of
Coates or Townie: Coates (Bad)
Personality: ((I'd rather this be something discovered through interaction, but you can get a pretty good idea from her history.))
Brief History:The Pearce family was known in San Perdido for one thing and one thing only - they were some of the wealthiest and most influential people in the town. James Pearce was San Perdido's acting mayor, and everyone looked at his family for perfection. There was Mrs. Yasmin Pearce, a masterful pianist. Their first born, James Pearce Jr, was the personification of perfect. Great grades, great looks, and a great attitude.
Ant, on the other hand, was nothing more than a black sheep - a mistake that her parents would rather stuff in the attic and forget. She was sent away to Coates Academy, and she knew well enough what that meant. She was fine with that. If her parents didn't want to acknowledge her existence, then that was just fine with her. She took her trust fund and left the academy. She found herself a new home in the downtown area of Perdido. She met people the Pearces would have never dared to even breathe the same air with. The wrong crowd, as some people might say. For Ant, they were the only crowd that accepted her without question.
They became her family. The band she formed with them gave her the inspiration to wake up every morning. She loved them almost as much as she loved herself.
When
it happened, Ant felt ecstasy crawling up her veins. Oh, she was finally free of their clutches. She was finally free of her insipid mother, her perfect brother, and her cruel father. Her friends had began to loot around when they encountered a Townie that threatened to stop them from destroying the town. That was when Ant discovered that the words she spoke could actually manipulate people. An evil smirk took over her face then. The Coates knew she would be useful, and Ant was willing to do anything for her friends. Rather, she was willing to make people do anything for her friends.
Full Name: Olivia "Liv" Lazarro
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Birthday: July 29th
Species: Mutant
Power: Healing. User can restore biotic organisms to their optimal health, curing damaged or withered organisms, wounds, broken bones, low vitality, and diseases/poisoning. Though the user may potentially heal any form of bodily damage, the patient must be alive, even if hanging by a thin thread, in order to be healed; once the patient has died, it would transcend healing and would require resurrection instead. In order to heal others, the one to be healed must come in contact with the user's blood.
Coates or Townie: Unaffiliated (might become a Townie)
Personality: ((I'd rather this be something discovered through interaction, but you can get a pretty good idea from her history.))
Brief History:It was a car accident that killed Liv's parents when she was only two years old. Her mother had cradled her - shielded her from the blunt of the truck hitting their car - and saved her. When help arrived, they tried to find a home for the young child left behind by the young couple. They searched for the couple's family, but they were from another country and no one knew how to contact their family. And so they had decided to simply let the local orphanage take care of the infant.
Liv grew up in the system, bouncing around different foster homes until she was seven years old. That was when she'd been adopted by a young couple. They were happily in love and greeted Liv with bright smiles, but Liv refused to allow herself to believe them. Even in her young age, she'd learned. Couples took kids like her in for the check that came with her. What Liv hadn't realized then was that this couple weren't like her foster parents. There were papers, legal ones. Before she knew it, she had been with the couple for a year and a half.
Liv was finally opening herself up to be happy. She was finally starting to accept that this family might be it for her. And then they had a baby. Liv knew from experience what a biological child did to kids like her. She'd be sent back now that the family had their own flesh and blood. Liv prepared herself for the pain and rejection, but it never came. She was proven wrong yet again, and the little bundle of joy with bright blonde hair - so completely opposite of her - became the apple of her eye. She had a family, and dare she say it, she was happy.
Annual family trips had been a tradition for the Lazarros. When Liv boarded the plane with her family - to somewhere new, somewhere exciting - she never thought she'd be losing everything in a town she didn't even knew existed.
