A I D E N M c K E N N A ◼ 2 0 / 0 6 / 1 9 9 8 ( 1 8 ) ◼ M A L E ◼ H O M O S E X U A L

▼ A P P E A R A N C E:
//STATS:
◼ HEIGHT | 5'11"
◼ WEIGHT | 155lbs
◼ BUILD | Slim
◼ ETHNICITY | Caucasian
◼ HAIR COLOUR | Brown (bleached)
◼ EYE COLOUR | Brown

//DESCRIPTION:
Aiden's pale skin and dark eyes give him a striking appearance that is complemented further by his angular features. Despite his good looks, his unimposing frame allows him to remain invisible to most people, and he is prone to walking along the perimeter of a room, with his hands in his pockets and his head down. His dress sense is similarly low-key, and he leans towards baggy hoodies and vintage tees. He has a scar running up the inside of his right forearm, measuring about 20cm in length, which he obtained during a childhood accident. He has both ears pierced but will usually only wear one earring at a time.

▼ B I O G R A P H Y:
Aiden was born in Quebec, Canada; his mother's homeland, she and husband Hugh had settled there shortly before they wed. An only child, Aiden spent the first seven years of his life in Victoriaville, before a sudden overnight move took them across the border to the USA. Aiden only vaguely remembered this, and asking his parents questions about that night always managed to ignite an argument. The family relocated to Massachusetts only briefly, and by the time Aiden was ten they had already migrated north to New Hampshire and the sleepy town of Crestwood Hollow. It is here that Aiden did most of his 'growing up': he excelled in his classes and built an impressive repertoire of talents, but he never quite managed to fit in with his peers and was always relatively independent.

As he grew older and discovered more about himself, Aiden realised that he was gay. He had always had a good relationship with his parents and didn't wait very long before coming out to them; they didn't react violently, but they weren't exactly supportive either. Both his parents preferred to just not talk about this aspect of the ever-developing Aiden, rather than outright accept it, and this drove something of a wedge between them. Though it was never severe enough to have a noted effect on the household, it left some fairly deep emotional wounds on Aiden that he never properly addressed.

A straight A student at Mather Memorial High, Aiden kept himself to himself with the goal of moving out of his sleepy city to study at a college cross-country once he graduated. However, in his final year of study, things hit the rocks. Aiden fell mysteriously ill, developing a dangerously high fever that left him bedridden. He was in so much pain that it felt like his skin was burning, and as such he never noticed the knowingly worried looks his parents would exchange as they watched over him. It wasn't until a few days later, when contact with their son's skin gave his doctor first degree burns, that the McKennas decided to reveal their secret.

They revealed to Aiden that the McKenna line was Hyper, and that all his male ancestors had displayed some manifestation of the gene by the time they turned 18. Whilst it was comforting to know that he wasn't on the brink of death, Aiden had a hard time adjusting to the immense way his life was changing. His trust in his parents was broken, and even once he recovered from his 'fever' he barely spoke to them. He had a depressive episode lasting several months, that wreaked havoc on his academic score and his familial relationships. It wasn't until he accidentally set fire to a mall and almost burned the place to the ground, that his parents decided to pull him from school. Aiden spent the remainder of term learning to control these strange new abilities he had been burdened with, and is now begrudgingly a year behind as he heads back into Mather Memorial this September.

▼ A B I L I T I E S / S K I L L S:
//ABILITIES:
◼ PYROKINESIS | Aiden can create, shape and manipulate fire. He can launch brief blasts and waves of flame at targets, as well as being able to produce sustained jets of fire. With greater concentration, Aiden is able to shape the flames to his will, forming them into balls or darts with higher precision and greater speed; this allows him to reduce collateral damage. In the future, should he develop a greater control over his abilities, he would be able to create much more complex effects, such as flame vortices or elaborate constructs of fire. Whilst he is not able to actively generate heat without a flame, his body itself acts as a passive heat source: a side effect of his powers causes his body temperature to consistently remain in the region of 120F. As such, his touch is painful and capable of inflicting minor burns with prolonged contact. His body temperature increases dramatically whilst using his powers. Naturally, he is immune to heat and cannot be burned.

//SKILLS:
◼ ACADEMIA | Aiden is highly academic; a very intellectual young man, his mind is rife with creativity and a good understanding of the world around him. His intelligence makes him a good problem-solver and an efficient persuasive force. As is often the case with the highly intelligent, Aiden has unfortunately become somewhat cynical of the world in his understanding of it; he sees things as they are, and a lot of the time he doesn't like what he sees.

◼ LANGUAGE | Aiden's upbringing has afforded him bilingualism: he can speak English and French fluently. He is also adequate at spoken Spanish and German, having studied them for several years, and has retained enough of the basics to seek directions and order meals. He knows a handful of Gaelic words and phrases, though would never be able to appropriately use the language.

◼ MINDFULNESS | Aiden has had to learn to regulate his emotions in order to maintain his quality of life; situations of stress cause his body temperature to rise, which can become a problem if he becomes hot enough to ignite things like paper or wood. Whilst it is inevitable that he will at times become stressed or angry, practicing yoga and meditation has allowed him to minimise these scenarios. His suppressed emotional states have also afforded him the perfect 'poker face' and make him difficult to read, which can be an advantage.

◼ ARTISTIC | Aiden is very artistic, and is an especially fantastic drawer and painter. He will often be found sketching in his notebook. He likes making music, and can play the piano and violin, but he finds them tedious and would like to learn guitar.

//LIMITATIONS:
◼ FATIGUE | Using his powers is taxing for Aiden on both a physical and mental level. Naturally, excessive use can exhaust Aiden to the point where he becomes unconscious. This not only leaves himself vulnerable, but also puts those around him at risk as he is no longer able to control the flames he has summoned. In a similar vein, the more drained Aiden becomes, the more difficulty he has with controlling his powers, making larger feats risky business.

◼ FUEL | Fire requires oxygen and heat in order to fuel it; without sufficient oxygen, Aiden's flames will be extinguished. Similarly, although his body produces an adequate amount of heat to use his powers in cold climates, they will be much less effective and he will often find these situations problematic as he finds himself unable to perform in the same way he is used to. His flames cannot burn anything that is not ordinarily combustable.

◼ CONTROL | It is of paramount importance that Aiden be able to control his powers, as they are highly dangerous and destructive in nature. Losing control of his powers puts everyone around him in danger. Unfortunately for Aiden, his emotional state can affect his abilities and sudden emotional outbursts can have consequences beyond his control. Whilst he is adept at keeping himself level-headed, it is inevitable that his emotions will get the better of him from time to time; and having been bottled up in an effort to suppress them, they are likely to be even more violent when they do erupt.

//WEAKNESSES:
◼ PHYSICALITY | Aiden is physically weak, and boasts absolutely zero training in any sort of physical combat or self defence. In a situation where his powers are not effective, Aiden would have a great deal of difficulty protecting himself. As well as a lack of strength, Aiden is also not especially fast and can be easily outran by anyone who regularly exercises.

◼ EXTINGUISHERS | As Aiden's powers are fire-based, he is naturally weak against those same substances that can extinguish fire. Water, sand and other substances are able to put out his flames and render him useless; and whilst they aren't likely to have any adverse effects on him physically, they will leave him vulnerable to other forms of attack.

◼ HEAT RESISTANCE | Heat resistant materials such as concrete, brick and some metals pose a problem for Aiden, as he is unable to effectively burn through them. Confining Aiden in a fire-resistant space would effectively imprison him.

◼ SMOKE | Whilst Aiden is immune to heat and flame, he does not have any sort of altered lung capacity, and is still adversely effected by smoke. He is able to rush into a burning building and withstand the flames, but he would still struggle to breath and begin to choke after too long.

W I N T E R C A R L Y L E ◼ D E C E M B E R 1 5 (1 6) ◼ F E M A L E ◼ H E T E R O S E X U A L

"But first....let me take a selfie."

▼ A P P E A R A N C E:
"Blondes do tend to have more fun, at least in my experience."
//STATS:
◼ HEIGHT | 5 feet, 6 inches
◼ WEIGHT | 124 lbs
◼ BUILD | Slender, skinny build
◼ ETHNICITY | Caucasian
◼ HAIR COLOUR | Blonde
◼ EYE COLOUR | Dark Blue
◼ PIERCINGS | Ear piercings, small nose stud piercing

//DESCRIPTION:
Winter is all about confidence and holds herself to a high standard when she is out and about. She has long, blonde hair that she habitually takes care of, along with dark blue eyes (her best feature, in her opinion) and light skin. She tends to wear traditional girly clothing such as blouses, skirts, heels, and purses but doesn't mind wearing the occasional t-shirt and jeans (provided they are high quality). She walks around with her head held high, knowing people are looking at her and knowing she has a reputation to uphold. She never appears with a hair out of place or a chipped nail.

▼ B I O G R A P H Y:
"We all have our skeletons."
Winter lost her mother when she was very young. Winter doesn't remember much about her apart from her blonde hair and green eyes and the fact she would sing to her to get her to sleep. Her father worked tirelessly to make sure he could provide for his daughter with anything she wanted, and his efforts paid off with him owning and running a huge company. He married shortly after Winter's 10th birthday to a woman much younger than him. Though the woman tried to befriend Winter, it was obvious the two wouldn't get along, as no one could rightfully take the place of her mother. She remained cordial out of love for her father, but as the years went on, her father worked more and more and her parents began their new lifestyle of the wealthy, leaving Winter in the hands of a nanny or babysitter while they jet-setted around the world. They would buy Winter whatever she wanted, though what she always wanted was her family to be home with her.

High School was pretty much a breeze for Winter. She did well in school, teacher's liked her, and she was envied and sought after by many people. She ran with the tough crowd of jocks and preps, those of which would pick on and tease other students, gossip, and spread rumors. Truth be told, it made Winter sick and she didn't do it if she could help it, but she had to maintain appearances, otherwise she would be a nobody and if there's one thing Winter is not, it's a nobody.

Due to her family, her looks, her style, and her demenour, Winter stands at one of the most popular girls in school. The one everyone wants to be friends with and the one everyone secretly hates (ah...high school).

▼ A B I L I T I E S / S K I L L S:
"I have a particular set of skills.."
//ABILITIES:
◼ Memory Manipulation - Winter has the ability to manipulate the memories of herself and others. She is able to erase memories, alter them, repair or break them down, and view them. She can cause amnesia, confusion, or bits of "psychic visions" while viewing the memory. She must hold a physical contact with the person at the start, but with training, she should be able to do it without touching. |

◼ Memory Walk - While viewing a memory, whether her own or someone else's, Winter can walk around in the memory in the surrounding area. She can only view the specific setting and cannot travel far outside of the immediate realm. This power is not available at the start, but can be obtained with training.

◼ Memory Absorption - Winter is able to harness the power of memories by absorbing them and using them against enemies. The energy itself is stored in Winter's consciousness and can be unleashed when chosen. Depending on the amount of memories stored, the attack could be small or large. This power is not available at the start, but can be obtained with training.

//SKILLS:
◼ Charismatic - Winter is highly charismatic, able to get others to listen to her and able to sway people to look at her opinions and agree with them. She is a natural born talker.

◼ Popular - Winter is blonde, beautiful, and a cheerleader, so thus her standing in the school is one of the higher tiers of the social ladder. This allows her many things in her school life from boys (and girls) wanting to do things for her to being given things reguarly.

◼ Athletic - Winter is an athlete, a cheerleader during football season, and a tennis player during spring. As such, she has strong endurance and flexibility.

◼ Math Whiz - Though she won't admit it outright, Winter is scary good at math. It is her best subject in school. She is able to calculate easily in her head (something she got from her mother, possibly)|

//LIMITATIONS:
◼ Dumb Blonde Stereotype - Due to her looks and her nature, Winter is often perceived as the stereotypical "dumb blonde" by her peers and others. Though her grades don't reflect that, she does get others treating her like she is stupid.

◼ Shattered Home - Winter's home life is not the greatest, with her father constantly working and her step-mother trying too hard to be the mom in her life, and both of their jet-setting off to the unknown, Winter doesn't have the greatest life outside of the school walls.

◼ Be Like The Cool Kids - Though she is considered popular, she has to maintain it by doing what the popular kids do and that means being cruel to the other kids. Though it sickens her, she has been known to put people down and tease other kids, especially when her friends are around and doing the same thing. Thus, Winter is perceived by a few people as a bully. |

//WEAKNESSES:
◼ Psychic Weakness - Due to Winter's Memory ability, she is more susceptible to psychic attacks and someone with a stronger psychic connection than her would be immune to her abilities and can even use them against her.

◼ Stressed Out - If put under the intense pressure of stress, her powers could become unstable and could affect her and those around her in negative ways.

◼ Amnesia Setback - If Winter would be rendered with amnesia, it could cause significant harm to her consciousness and unless she fought back considerably, she may never be able to remember anything ever again. |

▼ N O T E S:
//SUPPORTING CAST:
▼ ALLIES
◼ Raymond Carlyle | - Winter's Father. A nice enough guy who loves Winter, but due to his job and his new wife he hardly has time for her and prefers to buy her love rather than earn it. He is a CEO of a lumber company.

◼ Jules Carlyle nee Birch | - Winter's Step-Mother. She wants to be in Winter's life but tries too hard to be the replacement mother she thinks Winter wants. She is usually the one who gets Raymond to travel, leaving Winter alone.

◼ Samuel Preecher | - The Carlyle family butler (yes they have a butler) and the parent when Winter is home when her parents are traveling. He likes his job working for a nice family but notices how it is affecting Winter and tries to be the moral compass and ear to listen whenever she needs it.

▼ FRIENDS
◼ Brynn Reyes| - A fellow student at school, Winter is especially close to Brynn due to their similar upbringing and popularity at school. Though Winter could take or leave most of her other girl friends, Winter doesn't feel that way about Brynn and she enjoys hanging out with her, whether at their respective homes, the mall, or at school. She feels she can share anything with Brynn and not hear it through hushed whispers at school

▼ ENEMIES
◼ TBD |

//STOMPING GROUNDS
◼ The Mall - The typical hangout of the popular clique, Winter loves going to the mall to shop and hang out, but she also enjoys just sitting by the fountain to think about things, especially when she is alone.

◼ Burberry Heights - The upper-class community where Winter's family lives. Homes are typically large.

◼ Crestwood Hollow Park - The park in the center of town. Winter likes going there to relax and people watch. It used to be where her mother took her whenever they wanted to do something together.

//PARAPHERNALIA

It might take a while for me to get mine ready.

I kinda suck at coming up with certain parts of a character. Especially appearance, oddly enough.
