Lloyd Washterson

35

Male

A definitive example of a man uncluttered by worldly tropes insinuated with a glare of intimidation. Lloyd is an extravagantly formal man who often gives his best attempts to create a well-respected image. Often, he carries a well-crafted demeanor capable of persuading the most indifferent of minds while keeping behind a cunning and ruthless visage.

On a larger side of his equitably tall exterior draws a body frame constructed by extensive martial arts training. His athletic build discloses a vessel meant for advanced hand-to-hand combat albeit recently more reluctant to be on the fields of it. Lloyd's dark hair is kept trimmed on a regular basis, appearing mostly to be straightened on an elegant scale. Eyes are brown in color, along with thick eyebrows sitting on top of them. His face is oval-shaped structured by defined cheekbones, a flat chin and an evenly shaven set of facial hair.

Through the years of rebuilding S.C.A.R., Lloyd frequently remained secretive of his complete identity, save for at least the hours spent in his office. This only meant that his access in the open sunshine was notably limited, thus had him gain a slightly pale complexion. As for his extravagance of formal wear, he is often found wearing an array of suits, tuxedos and other corporate clothing even outside of work.

A man riddling with mystified truths and an uncanny link towards the facts of existence as well as being a fine specimen who faces a world of redundant disagreements. Known to be pragmatic and subtly conniving, Lloyd, perhaps, is best described by most as an enigma.

Outwardly he displays a man of intelligence, driven by a plethora of his own coherent philosophies. Often he speaks an obscure sum of truths which nobody clearly understands, yet even when he knows it well, it is carried alongside his words nonetheless. Above all, Lloyd values a greater sense of logic which usually directs to peaceful conclusions ―a core trait inherited solely from his father. He doesn't fancy around expectations as it puts him down on a dubious scope. Instead, he follows a plausible path towards what is certain and likely to be a pillar of achievement.

His presence among people is a bit unusual on certain proportions. He sets a particular standard for selected ones to be considered as friends, yet even when he eventually forms an alliance, his trust spirals backwards to a contradictory loop. Lloyd is one person who is perhaps, difficult to convince despite being pretentiously drawn to a sly fashion of speech. His trust towards people is often attached by a number of doubts, usually providing negative judgement on deeds specifically made for the greater good.

In spite of his demeanor, he is, at least, capable of sympathy. Lloyd also values life and a peaceful bliss following after it. It is his grudge against the government as well as the people who killed his father that gave him the means of enmity. At times, hatred becomes his greatest enemy, recurrently deviating his direction from his true purpose of rebuilding S.C.A.R.

Far from a privileged lifestyle, Lloyd grew up with his alcoholic guardian ― so to speak ― within the slums of Detroit. While witnessing the murders of his parents was an already traumatic experience, living off of deprivation from basic needs deemed worse, let alone the harsh treatment he had received from his oddly proclaimed guardian. It was at those younger days ― not exceeding at the age of 7 ― when he had already formulated a vast desire to end his life. From seeing a single day drifting to a forthcoming oblivion, Lloyd made several attempts of suicide, only to be caught in his acts by his guardian. Not wanting to be around the alcoholic's presence, Lloyd left what he shamelessly called home towards a place he could fulfill his suicidal endeavors. That was when his encounter with Nicholas Washterson was established, permanently changing his convoluted life.

It was during Nick Washterson's senatorial visit to Detroit. On his last weeks, he promised himself to carry a personal task, in which to scour slums and ghetto neighbourhoods for any homeless Superhumans who wandered about. Upon strolling the streets accompanied by none other than his most loyal valet Antoine Torres, he met Lloyd. Unlikely to be Superhuman, Nick felt a deep, sympathetic connection towards the boy, as he saw the young, innocent child completely lost in a lowly environment. However, from how dangerous the streets of Detroit were followed an unforeseen assault from Superhumans. Luckily being of the same kind had its advantages as Nick's power conjured a mighty gust of wind that retaliated the would-be assailants. Impressed by the display of Nick's power, Lloyd was fascinated in awe and praised the man as some kind of hero. Later on, Nick took Lloyd back to where he resided and gave proper care for the poor boy.

Throughout the years, Lloyd slowly built a fatherly relationship around Nick until such time that he was taken as Nick's own son after filing the necessary requirement for adoption. Nick's work had fascinated Lloyd on a number of occasions and when he started to develop a stable way of understanding things. After a while, Lloyd was fostered with the education he necessarily needed, further building his interest towards his father's work with the senate until he took it on a full extent. Once after reaching the age of 10, Lloyd showed a convincing potential just by how he much knowledge he garnered from reading a variety of law books.

However, Lloyd's time with his father was short-lived. Imprisonment forced Nick to send the boy to a place far from danger as he believed he had more enemies than what he had imagined and letting the boy be at the same place where he would commence his own battle will only result to his possible demise. Eventually, Lloyd was sent to Japan along with the people Nick entrusted for his son's own safety. Lloyd didn't know his departure was the last day he'd remember seeing his father alive.

---

Years spent in Japan were his very foundations of building his own sense of ambition. Studying law was the first part of it as Lloyd became more and more eager to become a lawyer and one day help free his father out from prison. Nevertheless he was unaware of what was happening back in his hometown until news about Nick's revolution were slowly being known globally.

His father's death implanted a deep hatred inside of Lloyd, initially holding a grievance against the people responsible for his death. Perhaps unknowing to him, it was what drove him to perform well at his university in Japan and eventually graduated out of law school. For years thereafter, he took an interest to learn martial arts, seeking his valet's guidance to build a better understanding and practice towards the concept of it. He was trained both physically and spiritually, later brandishing a drastic form of discipline. Years of training had him develop a certain mastery but was believed to lack some certain aspects towards a few disciplines of martial arts; one of which was his persistent insinuation with his own hatred, proving how much of a weakness it was.

Once Lloyd filed everything he wanted to settle, he left Japan and flew back to his hometown. After his father's death, he would've expected to be starting his ambitions alone but little did he know how much was left of the war his father had caused. Along the rubble emerged people who supported his father's ideals,some being equally influential as him who hid after a large number of rebels were captured by the government. Soon once they partnered an alliance with Nick Washterson's son, a new cause was formed, later becoming the foundation of rebuilding S.C.A.R. along with the legacy his father had left him.

At a later age of around 20, Lloyd uncovered the true origins of his biological parents in which his mother was a Superhuman. However being that, Lloyd was unable to genetically inherit anything from his mother save for at least a few physical features. Lloyd possesses no built-in superpower as he solely relies on his vast knowledge, craftsmanship on various technologies and his agile prowess. Like his father, Nick Washterson, he was regarded as a highly innovative individual capable of creating phenomenal breakthroughs as well as being a competent lawyer.

During his time in Japan, Lloyd was broadly trained in diversified means of Japanese martial arts namely, Judo, Jujutsu and swordsmanship. With his eagerness to learn more, he mastered certain aspects of their different practices and techniques after he finished law school. These includes particular disciplines and also a spiritual connection which he manifested throughout the years of training. In combat, Lloyd institutes a unique fighting style of disrupting his opponent's vigor before finishing them off. He doesn't kill unless needed to.

Lloyd's weakness in combat is perhaps the same weakness as he have as a person. Anger and hatred drives him away from the focus he needed to muster during combat. Such scenarios will result him to fight recklessly and commit mistakes that will lead him to his defeat. Additionally, his endurance is not his best asset though not particularly being weak. Prolonged combat doubles his exhaustion.

Lloyd is a good cook though not a master of it. Years spent in Japan influenced his style of dining as he is able to prepare a handful of Japanese cuisines with skill.

Carrie Walsh

29

Female

Carrie is quite tall, standing at about 5'9", with a lean, muscular build and tanned skin. Her mouth seems permanently fixed into a smug smirk, as though she is in on a joke that no-one else is, an expression that contrasts unnervingly with her pale green eyes, which seem to show no expression whatsoever, completely cold. She has long blond hair, tied back into a ponytail for the sake of convenience. She has a tattoo on her right arm and shoulder, an intricate maze of celtic designs, which is the first thing most people notice about her. Her appearance, and the way she carries herself, tend to put people on guard before they know her, and often even more so after they do.

Carrie gives off the appearance of being an optimist, cheerfulness seeming only slightly dampened by her time in the ORB. This makes it fairly easy for her to befriend certain types of people, and makes her completely unbearable to others. She is supportive of others, kind, friendly, and appears on all accounts to be the type that would never hurt a fly, who would scream and run at even a hint of violence.

The optimism, however, hides another person entirely, one that is revealed once conflict emerges, or especially when she has the opportunity to take down anyone who is associated with the government. In these situations, she reveals herself as sadistic, brutal and incredibly creative in her infliction of violence. If one of her friends is hurt, she reacts to the prospect of getting a shot at them with almost childlike glee, laughing even as she sends them to their graves.

Carrie was born in a small town on the West Coast, and lived with her parents as an only child. She went to a small school, had a small group of friends, and lived a fairly idyllic life overall. At least, she did until she left to go to college in Washington D.C. Things were alright then, for a while, but she found herself overwhelmed by her studies, and dropped out after her first year. Desperate for meaning, she found herself slowly becoming involved in criminal activity.

She became more and more involved, gradually, and was caught up in a few violent incidents. These escalated time after time, until finally she became caught up in a drug deal and found herself out of her depth. As the deal was carried out, she became more and more on edge, noticing suspicious actions and movements by the other party, but didn't act on it or say anything, blaming it on nerves. She immediately regretted that decision when she walked out, everything seemingly having gone to plan, and found herself on the wrong end of a Taser barb and 6 years in prison.

In prison, she was constantly afraid, and rightly so. She was surrounded by people who were far, far more dangerous than her. Eventually, as was inevitable, she found herself in a confrontation, and as she was slammed into the wall by hands far stronger than hers, and a makeshift glass knife slashed across her arm, something snapped inside her, and she found herself wielding her power in a way that felt natural to her and leaving her attacker screaming on the ground even as she took the knife from their twitching hands and shoved it into their throat. She felt invincible as the guards approached her, and left several on the ground, dead or wishing they were. She continued her rampage, leaving guard after guard on the ground until she was caught by surprise by a bullet to her shoulder that sent her spiralling to the ground. She fell unconscious, and when she woke up, she was in the ORB.

Carrie's power is that of illusions. She can create illusions that fool others senses - from bringing their worst nightmares to life to an illusion of complete and utter agony, she can fool even their sense of touch, causing them to feel phantom injuries and pain where none exists. To cause an illusion of touch, she needs to make contact with the person, although once she has, she doesn't need to keep contact to maintain the illusion. Other senses she can manipulate from a distance.

Her illusions become less convincing the more she creates at once, and with distance created between her and them. Additionally, she finds certain senses harder to simulate. She has to make physical contact with someone to begin an illusion of touch such as pain, but she can simulate sight from much further away. She also suffers from intense nightmares due to her powers, which turn the horrors she creates against her and have lead to her avoiding sleep whenever possible which affects her skills and judgement.

She is a talented pianist. She also loves cooking, but isn't very good at it.

32

Female

Min is delicately pretty, with Asian skin and eyes, dark brown hair, and she stands at 5'5". Her eyes are a dark shade of brown, her features are fine, and her hands and feet are small. Don't let her slight, yet curvy frame fool you; she's stronger than she looks, and very flexible.

Patient. That's the first thing most people notice about Min, her seemingly endless patience. She's very dedicated to anything she considers important; anything unimportant will be ignored until she has the time to deal with it. Most people don't know it, but she has a dry, sarcastic wit that she only shows to those she trusts.

Min's early life was fairly ordinary. The only daughter of two Chinese people who moved to America, she grew up as one of the boys, tagging along with her two brothers on their adventures and learning to tussle with them. That all changed when she hit puberty. Suddenly, her brothers realized that she was, in fact, a girl. That didn't stop Min, though; she insisted that her parents enroll her in judo and karate and, when she turned 18, her father bgan to teach her to handle firearms.

It wasn't a surprise to anyone who knew her that she joined the US Army when she came of age. She spend the next several years using her skills with weaponry to the government's advantage, as a "specialist". Min went on a good few Black Ops before her powers developed at age 29. Hiding them, she spoke to no one of her new abilities and went on with her life, but she was discovered after less than a year and dishonorably discharged. The moment she set foot back on American soil, she was snatched up and sent to ORB, as charges were placed against her for "deliberate murder of a superior officer". It wasn't deliberate. Her powers, which she couldn't really control at this point, reacted to her heightened emotions when he was ranting at her for being a "filthy monster" and struck him. He was killed instantly.

Min's power is a strong one; she can create and manipulate energy. The potential for it was always in her DNA, but it took a near-death experience to awaken it. This has upsides and downsides; she can always defend herself, but anything powered by electricity that she gets too close to will fritz. The energy she creates can vary in power from a small shock to a lightning strike; she can also manipulate the energy to create a shield. It appears as crackling blue light.

Overuse of her powers results in a crippling headache. Min has trust issues and PTSD, as well as an unwillingness to settle in any one place.

Min's gun of choice is a Sig Sauer 1911. She loves cats and had a Bengal cat before she joined the army.

Eliard Johnson

24

Male

Seen as an intractable vessel built for destruction, this youth's influences ranged far to adhere the common principles society has enacted. Much to how he physically looked, many people regarded Eliard or Eli to be an individual altered by voracious motives to attain a higher source of power.

Looking through Eli's peculiar style would likely force questions upon his ways of life and how he abides it. With his hair being vibrant and rich in red, it'd be barely easy for someone to let it go unnoticed. In terms of physique, Eli is of the weaker kind. Rarely does he ever put it in mind, save for the times sickness took a toll on him. He's equally slim and overall, holds average proportions on his build. Before he was dispatched at the ORB, he frequently wears mild eyeliner to decorate under his brown-coloured eyes. His overly pale complexion hints how much he stays indoors, reluctant to be a part of the outside world let alone when he was at his younger years.

An arrangement of Eli's clothing deemed fairly simple to him yet entirely strange to others' point of view. Usually he would wear dark clothing comprised of black leather jackets, polo shirts and anything alike. Only on particular occasions would he bother wearing clothes with a colour other than black.

Eli is not the equally sane type of person one would normally meet. Though not completely deranged himself, he has this peculiar behaviour that is persistently quenching for improvement and perfection. Power is what he truly desire and his constant need for it feeds his demeanor towards an unstable form of voracity. He would stop at nothing to be better and applying his powers for the cause of destruction is a prime example of it.

Often does it take over him, leading to a relentless force which is far more difficult to be handled. Sometimes his quest for power becomes a core weakness as it provides a self-contradiction that tells how much he loses when he asks for more. Truth to be told, Eli barely notices it until such time he realizes how much of his humanity is disposed into fragments. Truly, power alone can corrupt the hands of those who aren't worthy enough to hold it and how Eli handles his becomes a part of that fact.

Setting those aside, Eli ― while not being a power-hungry freak ― is actually an approachable person despite his exaggerated looks. He exhibits a playfully annoying vibe which is enough to get him an affable image. Additionally, he treats people with unbiased respect as he sometimes sees violence as an illogical choice to establish a healthy connection with someone. At certain times he does portray a rebellious figure, using vulgar yet harmless speeches to express himself freely.

Perhaps not the story of the high-spirited kind to be shared at campfires but not entirely the darkest one either. It was a life told to be squandered from prudent opportunities, all caused by the corruption granted from one's vices. Never had there been a time for progress to rule over as every passing time became a spiraling descent to obscurity and hopelessness. Yet even when things fall down time after time, not even a single stand of effort was exerted to at least rise from an endless decline.

One would think being a single child meant that a large sum of their parents' effort will solely belong to their cause of joy. Such things were far from giving a definitive meaning as Eliard grew up being the unhappiest of children. A best illustration contributing to his woeful way of life was his father's addiction towards drugs and alcohol. Neither was he the supportive nor a good example of a father as he ― as well ― disposed lavishly the money meant for the family over gambling. Unfortunately, his life filled with vices was short-lived as he abruptly died from an overdose. Eli was far from displaying grief as his father's death meant nothing but a wisp of air breezing by. There was no connection he had felt between them and years of growing up under the dark corners of an underprivileged lifestyle made Eli treat his father more of a stranger than a figure of great influence.

His mother, however, was of the opposite kind though not equal in terms of likeliness. Neither depending on her deceased husband nor waiting for a miracle to come by, she worked hard to let his son live a life fit for a growing child. However, being a part of the red light district in New Orleans deemed a far more dangerous life not only for her but for the well-being of her son. Eli was unaware of his mother's employment as it was constantly kept away from him. It wasn't that Eli was eager to know about it or anything but how late his mother arrived home every so often made him question her recurring activities.

For once, Eli never laid his feet to the outside world as he mostly locked himself up inside of his home, reading comic books and the like. Never did he know how special he was until he reached adolescence where he discovered an essence of power he never knew. Uncovering what he was capable of drove him in utter fear. At the age of 12, spheres made up of energies surrounded him like orbits. The very sight of it forced him into a screech of terror, unknowing how those appeared out of nowhere. The spheres eventually vanished and never returned until a year thereafter where he discovered more of what they were truly capable of. As he used it for the first time, there was a sulking feeling emanating from conscience. An ounce of power he had never experienced before, bearing a weight he couldn't carry physically yet it gave him a sensation of euphoria, like he was witnessing how a god's power was portrayed.

One ill-timed event had Eli unleash the full potential of his powers. It was when his mother's work went spiraling into conflicts which weren't supposed to exist. Men had been blackmailing her constantly, asking for a professional show in exchange of large sums of cash. These men, however, were far from being the gentlest of people. They were sinister drug dealers who were adorned by cash with the help of their cartels. It was one of the least method Eli's mother wanted to be involved in but the men were persistent. Later on, a group of masked assailants broke in at Eli's home, taking his mother with them. Despite putting up a fight, she was obviously unmatched from the number of men, not to mention their bulky appearances. Eli's pleas for her release only resulted to a constant refusal. This made him infuriated rather than afraid, giving the men means of threat. Eli was only laughed at in return but when he applied his words, his powers were unleashed at full force, bringing most of the assailants to their demise and left a few severely injured.

Luckily during the unwanted encounter, Eli's mother wasn't able to witness any of his exhibitions as she was knocked unconscious by the assailants. However, Eli's hold for his power did not end there. He became more and more fascinated on how they worked, thus became a leading foundation that established a new life of crime.

Turning 21 was Eli's first ventures of his troubling years. Under a masked identity, he consistently robbed banks and left a trail of destruction once he attained a convincing amount. He continued his unpleasant deeds of theft until he was eventually caught in the act at the age of 23 where he was constrained by a more powerful police force. After the Superhuman revolution, the police force became more prevalent in terms of firepower and control against Superhuman juveniles. Despite that, there were still some who were able to escape from their clutches only because their system was becoming more and more corrupt.

As charges on Eli were filed, he was sent to the ORB and spent the next phases of his troubled life behind the fortified walls of the facility.

Eli is able to conjure spheres of uniform sizes made up of pure energy. These spheres, upon manifestation, emanates Eli in a swirling fashion usually hovering around from his chest's level down to his waist. Spheres can only be at a maximum number of four and when one of them is used, another replaces the lost one out of thin air, continuing a swirling rotation. However, the time interval for a replacement takes more than a few minutes not exceeding to three.

These spheres can be interacted on varied assortments. One characteristic of these spheres is that they are able to detonate upon contact through the possible means of surging high concentrations of energy towards them. The power of the explosions will depend on how much energy was harvested on a specific sphere. Another of its attribute is the flexibility of each sphere's mass. They can be extended to a sheer amount of volume, meaning that their weight can drastically change while having their sizes remain the same. Lastly, these spheres can serve as projectiles hurled on various options. All of which are possible by controlling the spheres' motion with the use of Eli's mind.

Focus plays a vital role on controlling these spheres. Once distracted, Eli loses momentum and the spheres can vanish at an instant without proper mind control. Using a single sphere does not mean that it will automatically start counting to a few minutes to hold a replacement. The sphere should vanish from any of the interactions available before starting the replacement countdown.

Above all, an adequate pool of stamina is required in order for Eli to utilize his powers. If he suffers from physical conditions such as fatigue and anything similar, his powers cannot manifest or if it somehow does, it will present a weaker function than what it's supposed to be.

Eli dislikes dimly-lit places and is claustrophobic.

21

Male

Farran has thick black hair, yellow eyes, and pale skin; he stands at 5'7". He usually wears all black, with the occasional hint of red or gold; a short-sleeved shirt, a hoodie, pants, and Converse. A gold chain with a pendant shaped like a horse's head is always on him, hidden under his shirt. He's thin and not too strong, built more for running than fighting.

Farran is a quiet young man, utterly convinced that he is a monster. He's a loner, more by choice than nature; when no one is near him, there's no one he can scare. It takes time and determination to truly befriend him. For the most part, he'll either stay away to protect them, or assume they're talking to him out of greed. One wouldn't think it to look at him, but he's capable of getting into a towering rage.

Farran is an orphan. Until he was ten, he had his older brother to take care of him; then they came for him. The government had no interest in Farran. They wanted his brother, who was both a powerful mutant and wanted for various charges of theft and physical assault. They took him away, not finding Farran, who had been securely hidden. So it was that the young boy came to be on his own.

His powers came to him during puberty. As he grew taller and his voice changed, his power grew. It started out small, just isolated incidents at first. Then it grew powerful. Everywhere he went, people got uneasy; if he was upset, his power grew stronger. Some people were terrified; some got angry. It grew so that Farran left destruction and chaos wherever he went.

It was shortly after his 21st birthday that the government caught up to him. They had tracked him by the miasma of fear he left in his wake, and arrested him for being a public menace. At least, they tried to. For the first time, Farran weaponized his power, incapacitating the officers sent to take him in. He escaped then, but they came after him again only weeks later. This time they were smart. They shot him with a tranquilizer before he even knew they were there, and he woke up in a cell. Shortly afterwards, he was moved to ORB.

Farran's power is fear, plain and simple. Just by being around him, a person starts to get uneasy and faintly paranoid. If he focuses his power on someone, he can bring their greatest fears to light, trapping them in a hallucination of their worst nightmare. He can trap up to three people at a time in these hallucinations. Another power of his is a kind of miasma; it's not as potent as the hallucinations, but it's still scary. The miasma appears as a purple fog, out of which specters of monsters and demons appear. The miasma is more widespread, but not as powerful as the hallucinations; therefore, it takes just as much out of him.

Farran has trust issues, insomnia, and suicidal tendencies, which crop up every now and then. He's not too strong, and knows very little about fighting.

David Jackson

37

Male

Standing 5"8', he's not extremely big or small. He's rather slim, and has little muscles to show. With his brown hair and dark brown eyes, he is often called normal. Though his time in ORB changed how he keeps himself. Clean shaven, and with very short hair. He dresses in the same, almost Spartan, way. With a tight shirt and trousers, allowing maximum maneuverability. Above that, he wears a hoodie, and often with the hood on. But in such a way that you can still see his face clearly, but just not the back of his head. There is a reason for that. It hides the scars from the many surgeries they performed on his head.

When he goes on a mission, he wears a black belt with several useful tools like a wire cutter, a short piece of rope and other garage tools. From it also hang 2 sharp knives. So far, he couldn't get his hands on a handgun. But he would like to steal one when he gets the chance. He also wears a small bulletproof chest piece. It doesn't protect much beyond his chest and stomach, but doesn't limit his movement.

Straightforward and sometimes a little rude. David will rarely not say what he thinks, simply to spare another person's feeling. He strongly dislikes people who are not straight to the point about what matters. Never the less, he is a surprisingly caring person, towards mutants. His position towards average humans is somewhat divided. While he thinks that mutants cannot live without humans, the cruelty he sustained within O.R.B. made him somewhat cruel towards them.

David was born into a very loving but hard working family as the second child. His father got a job in Washington DC. Meaning he only got home quite late, and sometimes not at all. His mother worked-part time at the Town Hall and cared much for her children. At first her second born seemed like a dream child. He never got into any fights, nor got bad grades. While not much of a star player, he played a lot of American Rugby at his high school. Everything indicated that David would be a normal kid.

The truth was far from it. When he was 16, he somehow created a singularity in his sleep. Trashing his room. His parents, while loving, had a very conservative opinion about mutants. They weren't completely against the existence of them, as they knew that they couldn't help it. But they had the opinion that mutants should be treated like patience. As if they were ill. Scientists were to examine them and try to neutralize their powers. This made David too afraid to tell them about his powers. In secret he visited SCAR forums. When he turned 18, he ran away from home to join them. At first believing that they were fighting for the freedom of their existence.

But he was still a foolish kid. 3 years after he joined, he got caught in a raid. Surrounded, he knew he could only survive by surrendering. His time at ORB was brutal. Scientists were extremely interested in how he could control the mysterious Particle Zero. Various scans showed only a slight increase of brain functions when he used his powers. This resulted in a wide range of brain surgeries.

Zero Particle Manipulation - Modern science has always marveled at the illustrious graviton particle. Said to be the carrier of the weakest, yet most dominant force in the universe. They say that gravity was once part of a super-force. A combination of gravity, electro magnetism, weak- and strong nuclear force. They are wrong and right, to some extent. Gravitons do not exist in the hypothetical model of current scientists. The particle acting like it, is in fact Particle Zero. Which is more of a descendant from the primal Superforce.

The only thing known among the scientists of O.R.B. is that something like Particle Zero exists, thanks to David. He overheard them talking about it often. He can apparently manipulate them in such a way that they can be detected. Particle Zero, much like telekinesis, has an almost endless range of application. David's use is there for very limited. He can create temporarily small singularities, negate gravity or even generate kinetic force. All this however, starts near him. Zero Particles converge on him, and in a certain concentration start to glow purplish. From David himself, a projectile is launched (often "thrown"). Upon impact with solid mass, the projectile interacts with it. Be it by collapsing into itself (making the singularity), by creating a negative gravity field (lifting objects) or by exercising force on it (throwing or pushing things).

The ORB scientists knew barely anything of Particle Zero. But somehow they managed to create a small scale shielding device from the effects of the particle. While the device is not standard among ORB security forces, the devices can be called for easily. Meaning that if enemies get a chance to resupply, chances are great that Zero's powers are completely useless. (Unless of course, the enemy suffers from an indirect force from Particle Zero. For example, a gravity negation field will be negated. But if Zero would throw a singularity outside the field, the gravitational vortex forces may still pull the enemy away. Until the enemy is sucked so close to the singularity that his device can "destroy" the singularity.

A surprisingly good cook. David likes to prepare food for other people.

Victoria James

27

Female

Victoria stands at 5'10'' and weighs 130 lbs. She has long, blonde hair that falls to her back and has light gray eyes. Her skin is fair. Victoria usually wears make-up in light shades of red, pink, or blue. Her clothing consists of trendy styles, girly clothes, but is always a fan of a t-shirt and jeans. She isn't muscular or toned.

Victoria also wears a necklace with a small, crystal heart that was the source of her powers.

Victoria is strong-willed and determined. She doesn't back down from challenges when they are posed and is eager to prove herself outside of being a superhero. She respects her powers, but feels she doesn't deserve them given her lifestyle up until recently. She is kind of self-absorbed, but that is mainly due to her upbringing and has been trying to think more about others than herself. She prefers the company of others as opposed to being alone and loves being the center of attention.

Center stage: that's where she belonged.

Victoria always had a passion for singing and dreamed of being on stages across the world. Her parents encouraged her craft and bought the best training they could buy. Training and training to be the best she could be, Victoria was pushed to her limits to become a great performer.

When she was of age she struck out on her own, heading to New York. The cold hit of reality knocked her down a few pegs when she was denied access to the big stages. Instead she contented herself to performing in small bars and on the street, while working in a clothing store to support herself.

She finally made it big and was able to perform on a huge stage, opening for a band that was touring. It was then that she got her foot in the door and started having a following.

Shortly after she turned 25, a superpowered attack on the venue she was performing at left her wounded and hurt. The attacker had the ability to use cosmic rays in beam form and only found out about his powers by accident. The attack left him and many others wounded and few dead. Victoria suffered after effects from the cosmic rays. Her parents flew in to visit her as she was in the hospital, in a coma. They left her a crystal heart necklace and some flowers.

It took 12 days for her to finally awaken. She still felt sick and uneasy still. She sat up in her bed and looked around, seeing many cards and gifts from her fans, her agent, but what struck her the most was the small, shiny crystal next to her bed. She picked it up and admired it. As soon as she touched the crystal, she felt a small vibration from it. Shocked, but curious, she held on to it more and felt it pulse. She put it on and it continued to pulse until it finally stopped. She didn't think much of it until the next day when she went to reach for the TV remote to change the channel and formed a crystal shield around it.

During one of her rare uses of her powers, Lloyd witnessed her and reflected on her abilities. He later sought her out and found her on stage during one of her performances. He left his card with her bodyguards asking to meet her after she sang. Curious, she allowed him. It was there he told her he knew of her powers. She was scared at first, but he assured her he was no danger. Instead he had work for her. He liked her powers as well as her singing ability and requested she come work for him. Unknown to her Lloyd's true purpose and work, she agreed and was later employed as part of S.C.A.R.

To this day, she still is unsure of how she got her powers or why she did. Was it due to the cosmic after-effects? Was it pre-destined? was it from the crystal heart itself? She doesn't know, but she does know she can use the powers in her own way.

Victoria has the ability to create crystals and use them at her will. The crystals themselves are clear and can be any shape and size, depending on how much power and focus she uses (large crystals would cause her to become unconscious if kept in control for too long). She uses these crystals in a variety of ways, from offensive to defensive measures.

Offensively, she can launch crystal shards at her enemies in various sizes, though she prefers short crystal-like daggers as her main weapon. She can also create crystal bombs that detonate in crystal shrapnel.

Defensively, she can form her crystals around her body as a protective shield from bullets and elemental attacks. She can also form crystal walls and other tools at her disposal.

Crystals can shatter with enough force. Sound attacks are her biggest weakness. Victoria can hold her crystals for periods of time with enough focus and power, but if controlled for too long, she becomes strained and weak and may eventually pass out, leaving any crystal she had uncontrollable.

Victoria has a fan base due to her performances, but they don't know about her powers. She preferred to remain anonymous about it. She doesn't go out crime fighting, but has used her abilities to help some people.

Harri Van Helle

23

Male

Due to his power his size is increased beyond the human average. Standing at 8 feet tall and weighing 500 pounds makes this soldier hard to miss out on the battlefield. His general appearance is simply put powerful. A presence in any room, not only due to his general size, but also his muscular build, not in a body building sense, but raw strength.

His eyes are green, but do change to a hint of blue when he is feeling upset in a sad sense. He prefers to have his dark brown hair short, but his beard he keeps at a good 2 finger (average human finger width applies) length.

Harri has never been the brightest in the bunch and time and again it has shown. He got through the early years of school by pure athletic skill and flunked every other subject. He might not be smart, but that is what friends are for. A more loyal friend is hard to come by. Even as he might be a numbskull, moron, stupid, dumb, etc. he values his friends and realizes eventually when he is being used for his powers and not appreciated for his friendship.

At quick judgement all people see is a dimwitted mass of muscles walking around, but sometimes he has been known to show great insight in matters of ethical or moral questions. Most likely due to his simple way thinking, but noone knows for sure if he is hiding a great mind behind the simpleton act or if he just gets lucky from time to time.

From a young age Harri has shown superhuman abilities which his parents tried to hide as long as they could. Being from a fairly poor,but hard working family it wasn't easy. He was first home schooled, but after realizing that his mother could possibly not teach a mentally handicapped son, they had to put him with the others. His parents did their best to tell the school enough so that Harri could get away from distractions in a normal classroom and get some sort of special treatment. Before his teen years it worked out well enough.

The schools funding had been cut so no more special classes and even some of the regular classes had to be put together in order to be able to teach all the students. Harri was in school for 2 days in that new arrangement. A classmate had made remarks about his intelligence and rudely asked if "Mr. Meatbag" would sit on him if he didn't stop. One punch and the classmate had tasted the wall, just before his untimely death.

It didn't help that peace had just been restored between the superhumans and regulars when the incident happened, but the media claimed that Harri had been a part of a " rouge faction" that had sprung from S.C.A.R, who were training teens to make an army of super soldiers. Of course none of it was true, but the people needed to hear that. That even the smallest groups were now destroyed from their midst.

So at the age of 12 he was taken away from his parents and brought to a mental institution. He spent 7 years in there, but not even he knows for sure what had happened during that time. He was brought to ORB when he came of age, but due to the nature of his power, he was unable to do much in his time there. The Joedthaven had unexpecting results since Harri's power goes hand in hand with his physique, it restrained him completely and he had to be taken care of by the staff.

Supernatural Strength. There is no explanation yet to where his powers come from or how they manifested, but it is for certain that he was born that way. His power is as natural to him as the skin on regular people.

Harri is by no means all powerful, but he is able to lift a buss or a heavy truck even. His power has strenghtened everything about him so he is able to contain that power within his body and he cannot accidentally hurt himself by using too much of it.

Harri's power most likely has hindered his intelligence as he is very simple. He is easily distracted and is prone to go off in a blind rage, destroying whatever comes in his way, if he is not kept in focus. A wild card out in the battlefield, to say the least, and potentially a danger for his own team.

Harri has been contained in some sort of government facility since the age of 12, so Harri has not been able to exercise in general. This leads to his poor condition (considering him) and results in him tiring out quickly when he uses his powers for great feats..

Harri is very afraid of snakes.

Austin Colson Morales

27

Male

He is a well built and kind of attractive blonde Caucasian. He has an athletically tall and brawny body. His arms are covered with supremacist superhuman gang related tattoos (A vulkan in his right arm and whatever the symbol for the rebellion may be on his left) his hair is a braided man bun with three braids tied into a ponytail while the remainder of his head is shaved. Finally Austin also counts with blue eyes, a chiseled jawline covered by a beard and a constant inscrutable yet appealing expression.

Austin has a natural tendency to marshal and direct. Sometimes he does it with the charm and finesse of a world leader but most time insensitivity is his way. He requires little encouragement to make or enforce a plan and will give it his all when he has one. He has a natural ability to talk and convince but prefers remaining quiet if he can as even if he has natural capabilities to lead he isn’t a leader, more suited towards a strategist/second in command role. To Austin all means can justify a cause and even if he can say "I'm really sorry you have to die," he will nonetheless pull the trigger precisely because he is decisive. In times of crisis he sees what needs to be done, and frequently assigns roles and plans carefully when needed the most. Few others can equal his ability to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and often leading the charge) into the mouth of hell if necessary. When challenged, Austin may by reflex become argumentative but alternatively he may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: he is not one to be trifled with. He may not be the face you would put to your group or the one to give motivational speeches but he is the guy that will keep your people in line and operation running smoothly. All this qualities make him a reliable, loyal, and trustworthy squad leader and ally, if you are like him. Sadly his vision is too fanatical and he doesn’t care for anything other than Superhuman supremacy which makes him xenophobic towards humans and his hatred for them can make rage greatly overshadow his positive and useful qualities.

After the official discovery of powers many of the gifted believed others would harm them and so Austin’s parents along with several other families of superhumans banded together, founded and moved to what their kind regarded as a better place during 2016. This enclave known simply as Haven prospered and remained a quiet little town on Virginia only guilty of housing people wanting to be at peace without hiding who they were. Life on haven was pretty uneventful and normal for all its inhabitants until 2025 when Nick Washterson's nationwide convocation occurred and most of the town began helping SCAR and the rebels. Being part of a new generation and hope for the inhuman society Austin and his fellow Haven born superhumans were heavily indoctrinated into believing they were not just special but far superior to any normal man. Sadly when he was barely thirteen his town was bombed and subsequently attacked by the government. Austin and a few other younglings managed to survive the bombings by hiding in the sewers but their home, families, and lifestyle had been all erased due to the jealous and inferior humans, or so they thought.
Under his leadership the group of surviving orphans banded together and managed to stay alive for a long time, living in seclusion and far away from human society. They taught themselves how to hunt, eat, and survive while evading contact with others but eventually moved to DC in 2042, decided to no longer live in fear. There they formed a notorious criminal, street leveled superhuman supremacy gang named Haven’s Marshalls and mainly dealt with human gangs while evading the police and the state’s eye. Dedicated to terrorizing humans and petty crimes the gang lacked real purpose but on 2044 after a bank robbery went wrong and accidentally ended in an aggravated murder the gang was imprisoned in a regular prison (the state not possessing proof they had powers) It was during his second year serving that a power struggle with a rival gang broke out inside the prison and Austin had to use his powers in order to evade being killed which landed him a transfer to the ORB.

Austin is in peak human condition, possesses enhanced hearing, can provoke pyrotechnically explosive attacks (through the use of sound), and concentrated sound and sonic waves. Austin unleashes wave after wave of devastating harmonics and literally rips his target apart with the power of extreme sounds. Visibly you can see these noise waves as transparent vibrating arcs and rings, similar to Marvel’s quake but unlike her it is not vibration its sound. When very angry as a last resort Austin can emit a giant wave in a circle around him capable of crumbling buildings, shattering bones, bursting organs and causing electronic equipment to explode as the wall of sonic energy passes over everything, however if he is forced to do this it will leave him powerless for a sensible amount of time. Austin can change the frequency of his attacks from a subsonic rumbling that tears buildings apart to a supersonic squall that pierces eardrums and flays skin from flesh. He may also scale repeatedly up and down these frequencies, causing a blast of sonic energy that rolls forward like a force wave from a massive conventional explosion but their unpredictability and rebounds are too dangerous for constant use. Because of this he usually only employs the crippling waves and sound spheres, which are self-sustainable balls of sound that besides vibrating away low density objects can grind into whatever they come in contact with to inflict major damage and are easily produced.

A sound on the right frequency if used against him will render him useless because of his enhanced hearing. He also has a short to mid-range when engaging in combat because even if he can tear most things to pieces by vibrating them apart he must be close as his long range attacks are too explosive and unpredictable for regular use and his sound spheres although never breaking apart are easily dodged if from a distance. As mentioned before Austin can be a cold man and can sacrifice a brother, or himself if it can complete the mission making him insensible. Besides these flaws Austin also counts with eye problems as he can’t see too far away.

Austin is very skilled in hand to hand combat.
