Seraphine Campbell

32

Female

At 5’6 Seraphine isn’t particularly tall, but frequently wears heels that add another four inches to her height, an illusion that is only heightened by her willowy build. It could be said that she plays at being high society, but the truth is that she does a great deal more than play at it. She wears makeup, not a great deal, just enough to highlight and enhance her own natural beauty.

Seraphine employs an expensive personal trainer, and they make sure that she maintains her slim, attractive figure. She’s not overly busty, but has certainly been gifted with aesthetically appealing curves, maintained and tightened by the ruthless attentions of her personal trainer. This consistent regimen ensures that she is strong and fit, but not as muscular as someone with a particular interest in fitness would be.

Seraphine is wealthy, and she isn’t afraid to flaunt it, always wearing expensive designer clothes and even more expensive jewellery. A flair for the dramatic means that given the opportunity she will wear expensive gowns and dresses, frequently clothed in evening dress even for fairly mundane tasks. It is an opulent show of wealth when some of her outfits cost in excess of a month’s salary.

Is fluent in nine additional languages including French, ASL, Russian and Japanese.

Seraphine was not raised as a high society lady, or even as Seraphine. Sophie Jones was about as common as they come, her father was wealthy, but as a man who had worked his way up from the bottom, he wasn’t exactly welcome among the old guard of the wealthy. You could think that such prejudices were long since forgotten, but in the upper echelons of society there are still those who hold onto old and outdated sensibilities.

Her father was proud of his heritage, and refused to blend in with the circles he now moved among, still wearing old battered jeans and helping the hands on the ancestral family ranch. Sophie hated it, hated being looked down on and bullied by her fellow students at her private school, at home she had to carry out chores on the ranch, which would have been fine if it didn’t include mucking out the horses and throwing hay, giving her a more masculine physique than most teenage girls are comfortable with, particularly amongst peers who are spoiled rotten by their families from birth, not raised in a working household. She always wanted to escape that life, to be something more.

When her powers manifested things only became more complicated, they changed for the worse. Though it came with advantages, people were frightened of metahumans, and Sophie became even more ostracised than she already was, even her father, who had always been an honest, hard-working man, was ashamed of his daughter’s freakish nature. His daughter, his hard-working, honest daughter, was registered with nest, chipped, tagged, and suddenly an embarrassment.

Sophie ran away, she stole twenty thousand dollars from her father and left town, left the county, the state. She changed her name, acquired a whole new identity, and set about transforming her life. Anyone else might have struggled, even most metahumans would have struggled in that position, but Seraphine’s ability gave her the unique ability to be in two places, or more, at once.

A year spent working long hours every day helped her lose the puppy fat, and a lack of proper nutrition ensured that her once chunky physique slimmed down a little more rapidly than was really healthy. It didn’t take long though, before she realised the power her new appearance gave her. At her age, she looked old enough to be within the consenting age, but was ruthless enough tot ake advantage of the fact that she wasn’t, and extorted money from the men foolish enough to fall for her feminine wiles. Of course, it eventually meant she had to move on, and before long she found herself in Louisiana. Attractive, and clearly already in the habit of using her sex and beauty to take advantage of men, she was picked up by a pimp, and put to work in the city’s thriving sex industry.

Her abilities made her much more valuable than the man was capable of dealing with however, and she was soon ‘taken off his hands’ by one of the city’s crime bosses. She was lucrative, and swiftly became a high class, in demand escort. She was ambitious though, she was happy to use men to get ahead, but she wanted to be the one who called the shots, who ran the business, so she began moving her way to the top. Seduction; bribery, blackmail, they were all tools of the trade, and she learned to use them swiftly and with ruthless efficiency. She rarely resorted to violence, never had the taste for it, but had the money and ambition to buy the services of people who would.

She made enough to buy her way out, bought her independence from the families, and made enough friends that they wouldn’t try and take her back by force. Especially not when one of them was a potent meta, a man of unknown origins who now acts as her bodyguard.

Other

Seraphine has the potent gift of self-duplication, the ability to generate complete clones of herself. These clones share a limited empathic link, but are otherwise capable of acting and thinking independently, though the fact that they are the same person allows them to act with an uncanny unity of purpose at times. These clones are identical in virtually every way, impossible to tell apart for any but an extremely potent telepath.

This power is the secret to Seraphine’s success each clone, though tethered to the Prime, is capable of living an independent life, of learning and acquiring skills. Though there is no telepathic link between the Prime and the clone, upon reabsorption Seraphine Prime can absorb all of their memories, knowledge and skills. The clones otherwise can function independently.

Though Seraphine can produce a number of clones, she is limited to a maximum of twelve, and she maintains three in various countries around the world, limiting her to being able to produce nine clones in her immediate vicinity.

Reabsorbing a clone can have some adverse effects for some time after the fact. These can include personality defects, wild mood swings and occasional periods of exhaustion. These effects are magnified the longer the clone has been independent, a few days has little to no effect, while a few weeks or even months can have a much more difficult effect. After reabsorbing the clone that had become qualified as a lawyer Seraphine had to excuse herself from business for more than a month, the strain of absorbing a five year old personality made her almost irrational at times.

Though the clones can operate independently while Seraphine sleeps, forced unconsciousness for the Prime, through drugs or trauma, will force unconsciousness across the entire network, and trauma applied to them can be felt by the Prime, though she cannot use it to locate her clone, merely to experience (unwillingly) the pain the duplicate is experiencing. This empathy even extends to death, the clones can die, and they will experience death in exactly the same way as any other, and the reverberation of that experience can cause incredible psychological pain for Seraphine Prime.

The final limitation is simple, Seraphine is the Prime, the centre of the network, if she dies, so does every other Seraphine, like puppets with their strings cut.

James is Caucasian and stands at about six feet and two inches tall. He is a little above average in body build and has the appearance of someone who has trained in unarmed combat. He has red hair and bright green eyes. His face is somewhat handsome, but he ain’t going to be winning any modeling contests.

James is a writer and journalist. He also is skilled in radio show hosting and is very good at boxing and karate.

James was born in Austin Texas to a middle class family and from an early he had an interests in writing and doing journalism. At the age of twelve his love of radio shows developed and he wanted to have a radio show of his own when he grew up. Being his father’s son, James’ developed more conservative ideas and decided to base his radio talk show on his political opinions and support for political incorrectness. His show was named The Politically Incorrect Party and he mixed his opinions with his own style of comedy.

At the age of fifteen James began to suffer from migraines that would happen randomly at different times of the month and he regularly got eye sores. His trips to the doctor didn’t find any answers to his medical problems and his physicals showed that his body seemed to be fine, it was a mystery until his powers finally activated. One day while on his way home from high school, James saw a mugging happening and wanted step in and stop it, but then his migraines started up and he couldn’t focus on trying to stop the mugging.

His frustration with his condition caused him to mentally lash out in anger and that’s when his eyes glowed bright blue and shot out a beam of ice that froze the mugger’s legs, stopping him. After his powers activated, his migraines and eye sores only happened when he used his powers for too long and it would take him some time to learn how to control his metahuman abilities.

After graduating high school, James moved out of Austin Texas and went to collage in New Rivière City. The city was interesting, but it had its problems. After collage he went into the radio business and started his talk show. As for his powers he had discovered the other elements that he could fire out of his eyes and only used them when he found them necessary. In case of the need to fight, James trained in boxing and karate when he was younger and kept up with it to keep himself practiced in case the need for it arrived.

Despite his powers, James tries to live a normal life as a radio talk show host preaching against political correctness and the subjugation of free speech. Reading a bit of comics as kid gave James the idea of having an alias in case the need arose and named himself Pulsar for secret identity purposes.

James’ main power is the ability to generate different classical elements from his eyes in the form optical blasts and each has a different color that his eyes glow when utilizing one of them. He has five different elemental blasts. Fire vision causes James’ eyes to glow a bright red and shoot jets of hot flames, these flames are as hot as normal fire and is hot enough to heat up metal, but not melt it. Ice vision has his eyes glow bright blue and fire beams of ice that freeze parts of targets, the effect area of the beam is three feet in diameter. Metal vision makes James’ eyes glow a bright gray and golf ball sized steel balls shoot from them as fast moving projectiles and travel at 100 mph. Lightning vision causes his eyes to glow bright yellow and electric bolts fire from them and electrocute his targets, the electricity is no more powerful than a stun gun.

James can only use one element at a time and his powers activate mentally so he has to will his powers to work and therefor can be sneaked up on before he can react.

Prolonged use of his optical powers will cause him fatigue and drain him of energy. Using his powers for too long also puts a strain on his eyes and can temporary harm his eyesight. Finally aside from his powers James is basically human and has all of the human weaknesses.

Both of his parents are alive and he has a sister. He has a good relationship with them, despite his occasional heated political debates with his sister.
