@VitoftheVoid Alas, I ought to have assumed the two races were antithetical. With that information I can easily envision a vampire or werewolf transforming into the other from a bite. A mix, or at least a living one, would be harder to justify; I'll likely go the route of some other hunkering monstrosity. In the end, I just want to be something hideous. Mahaha!

Full Name: His full name is unknown, but he calls himself "Jack."
Nicknames/Aliases: Spring-heeled Jack, or The Terror Of London.
Age: One hundred years or so, but he appears to be in his late 20s.
Gender: Male.
Species: Unknown.
SCION Team/Rank: Hunter's Moon.

Description:
Spring-heeled Jack is abnormally pale, although his skin is still warm to the touch and doesn't appear to lack any bloodflow or be undead. He has two small horns atop his head which he hides with both is hair and his hat. His fingernails are metallic and sharp, having the ability to cut any biological entity. Because of this, he doesn't usually carry a weapon. He has an old, posh, london accent.


Personality:
A gentleman, as some call him. He's polite and gives a smile, but he's still a sociopath, considering that he's murdered a few before. The only person he truly cares for is himself.


Skills:
Enhanced agility, including the ability to leap twenty to fifty feet in the air, claws, very slightly enhanced strength, and the power to spurt blue flames from his mouth.


Weaknesses:
Although it's easy for him to run, jump or escape from attackers, but once someone has him, it's also easy to kill him. He has no enhanced durability or strength. Really, the only reason he's survived this long is due to his elusiveness. During the day his powers are lessened. He can't spit fire nor jump as high. He also dislikes going outside unless he changes his cloak and hat, as to not give away his identity.


Brief History: Between 1838 to 1878, he was known as "The Terror of London. In the London-Great Britain area, he began a string of murders. Who he killed didn't appear to have any rhyme or reason, but he killed people who he thought deserved to be dead. People began theories about him. Was he a genetic freak? Demon? Sole survivor of an extinct species? Monster? Phantom? Nobody knew. In fact, it's not even known if Jack himself knows. His origins remain shrouded in mystery, myths about him arising from urban legends and media. Towards the end of his spree, he suffered a near-death experience after one of his victims attacked him and fought back. Because of that, he hid himself from the public for years, going as your average person and vowed never to use his powers again, in the event that he dies.

Until SCION found him.

Fairly recently, Jack was caught in the crossfire of SCION attempting to contain a rogue Werewolf. Watching the event unfold, he used his powers. A mistake. They saw him and chased him down, convincing him to join them. After he joined, they were sure who then contained. Spring-heeled Jack. A centuries old legend. He currently works for the Hunter's Moon division of the organization.

Full Name: Crystal Alexander Martin
Nicknames/Aliases: Crystal, Thief, Teenage Pain, Welp
Age: 16 though can appear younger or older depending on atire
Gender: Female
Species: Human
SCION Team/Rank: Junior Member of Thunder Moon

Description:
At about 5’3” and still growing, Crystal appears to be an average teen. With a deep tan this teen is clearly not a stranger to being outside and getting her hands dirty. Shining emerald green eyes that seem to see through a soul and wavy black hair grace her mostly plain features.

Typically she is seen wearing jeans, some form of torn shirts, and a simple black bag laptop bag.

Personality:

Crystal tends to be standoffish and snarky, having a bit of trouble making meaningful connections outside of her team. Though once you are in the girl's inner circle she will do practically anything for you. She also has a nasty habit of breaking into places and being in places she really shouldn't be and tends to take great pleasure in eaves dropping on other's conversations.

Skills: She is incredible gifted at picking locks, picking pockets, getting into tight or strange spaces, sneaking around, infiltrating other locations, and general larceny. Make no mistake even at her young age Crystal is a master of the art of thievery. She also holds a large amount of knowledge and understanding of vampires.

Weaknesses: Crystal knows little about the world of the supernatural outside of Vampires. She is also still young and learning therefore her non thievery skills aren't up to SCION's usual standards which keeps her in the junior member roll. The biggest problem is that she holds a burning hatred of hunters and will tend to get irrational when a hunter is involved in a SCION mission.


Brief History: Abandoned as a baby on a church doorstep Crystal was found and raised by a rather unlikely source a vampire. This vampire was no all that altruistic in his actions and wanted to raise his own private blood source. As the baby grew up he couldn't help but fall in love with the child as if she were his own, especially when the little girl started calling him father. So he changed his plans, instead of using her as a blood bank he would use her to get into blood banks and hospitals to help him keep up his blood supplies. The vampire taught his beloved daughter the skills he had picked up over the decades to put her along this path.

The two lived in a steady rhythm of thievery and parenthood over the years giving Crystal a happy if different childhood. This happiness soon ended when two hunters came into their lives. These two were skilled and at the top of their game, killing the vampire that had raised Crystal all these years. In a rage Crystal went after the hunters, angry and wanted revenge. It was on her reckless path SCION found the teen.

Full Name: Roderic Alder Mayburry Montana
Nicknames/Aliases: The Devil of Bosnia, Lazarus, The Third Man
Age: 60’s
Gender: Male
Species: Human
SCION Team/Rank: Hunters Moon, Senior Member

Description:
Features are a fine mix between European, and Native Amrican, leaning toward European but keeping the defined bone structure as well as a light, natural tan. Montana is 5'11, frame lined by functional, strong muscle. Despite what is advanced age on paper, his body, and face are that of a young man. A 'longevity' gene is suspected here, reminiscent of biblical accounts of the human lifespan. An inherent, but severely weakened healing ability from a magic ancestor is another possibility. He maintains a clean shaven face, and his shoulder length black hair is often kept swept back, but not tied. Tends to dress formally when not in battle or training dress.


Personality:
His personality is subdued through effort and experience, he isn't easily provoked, unsettleled, or startled


Skills:
:Possesses the skill-set consistent with decades of experience in espionage, counter intelligence, and objective oriented warfare. Montana has experience in single operative missions, and squad battlefield engagements. A savant esq martial artist, he excels at hand to hand combat and the fluidity of body movement. Montana possess a sharp intellect, and keen situational awareness. He relies on strategy and ploy as much as his physical prowess. Extensive training in ANTI creature weaponry, as well as traditional weaponry, he's blended the two into a martial technique of his own design. Has also developed a art for engaging opponents that exceed the practitioner in strength and speed. He teaches them both to whomever wishes to be taught


Weaknesses: Montana, despite all things considered, is mortal, and has the same weaknesses any other mortal has. His penchant for brutality can cause issues to arise with his more peace oriented team members.[indent]

Brief History:
:The product of an unlikely union between a Native American father, and London born woman, Montana spent a portion of his youth in the United States, then later his mothers homeland. He returned to the states as a young man, and was part of the last batches of soldiers sent to Vietnam. Baptized in the fires of one of America's most infamous wars, Montana found that he had a unique talent for thriving in conflict. However the conduct of the commanding officers made him dispassionate toward the idea of serving directly beneath the thumb of a nation controlled army, so he took budding skills to the Private Millitary Sectory, and participated in various proxy conflicts during the cold war, branching off into Espionage and Consultation between, and during his deployments. Some of his more memorable efforts were during the Afghani-Russian proxy war, various 'Banana Republic' outings, and finally Europe's many conflicts, which extended into the 90's. Through the decades he earned a reputation as an effective and dangerous individual in various 'need to know' circles. It was around this time he was placed in the warpath of a dangerous Cryptid, who was using the background carnage of the conflict to mask its vicious killings. Montana noticed the pattern, and set about to stop whomever was committing these crimes. Once the Crytpid was discovered, he realized it was a what rather than a who. S.C.I.O.N agents in the area got into contact with him soon after.

Full Name: Derrick Arthur Avalon
Age: Late 20's
Gender: Male
Species: Sorcerer
SCION Team/Rank: Senior Member of Hunter's Moon

Description: Derrick is the picture of what one would expect from a special agent tied to a mysterious yet menacing government agency, with the suit and sunglasses to match. He has short cropped blond hair with an eye color that remains a mystery to those around him.

Personality: Professional on a good day and disdainful of everyone around him on a bad day. Derrick tends to equally hate everyone around him and tends to be suffering from a migraine most of the time. However when need be the man can be quiet the charmer or as intimidating as the situation needs him to be.

Though when you do get to know him Derrick is a clueless innocent dork and is a loyal as they come.

Skills: As a Sorcerer Derrick specialize is a different type of magic, the mental kind. With basic eye contact he can erase memories, implant new memories, and basically view most memories a person has. This makes him ideal for intelligence and cleanup work. He also is a good shot with a variety of guns.

Weaknesses: Derrick has to make direct eye contact with a person from a few feet away to alter their memories and during that time he and his target are venerable to an outside attack. To keep his co-workers from blaming him or accusing him of messing with their memories he tends to keep sunglasses on as his magic requires direct eye contact. This works the other way around, and if a target has sunglasses or any non-clear item blocking their eyes he is unable to target them.

Brief History: Not much is known about Derrick's past as he doesn't talk about it much. Rumor has it he was a normal guy with a normal upbringing and was going to college to become a lawyer when his magic showed up. Those are just rumors and no one aside from higher ups know the truth. However he has been with SCION for many years and is one of their most trusted agents.

Note- Is it okay if his sunglasses are enchanted so his aura, emotions, and presence are unreadable to supernatural powers?

@Irisity I'll be getting an opening post up today with any luck!

@Juicy Look forward to seeing what you come up with!

@urukhai Yep, could still certainly take more people. It'd be nice to have a Fallen.

@shadowhope@Magister Yes on Crystal, Derrick and Montana!

@Spinosaurus Whilst I dig the idea of making a character out of Spring-Heeled Jack, I'd question whether a law-enforcement organisation like SCION would hire someone who is openly murderous and sociopathic. They don't tend to 'catch' prospective agents, it's more of a recruitment like a mortal-world job, with some individuals who ended up being taken in by SCION in a purely altruistic way, who ended up displaying promise and taking up a post with them, and again those people will have proved themselves relatively trustworthy.

@VitoftheVoid Whenever I finish her, she'll go right here!

At the moment, however, I have a question about "ranks", mainly what'd I label my character if she was a respected member before S.C.I.O.N.'s discontinuation, though not near a leadership role, and newly-re-recruited by the time of its second iteration.

(I'd also want to make a Head of Harvest Moon; as there's only one of those, to anyone else interested in that role, I'd be happy to compete.)

**looking for picture**
Full Name: Patient 1B-0002
Nicknames/Aliases: Zeros
Age: N/A (has been awake and working with SCION for the past 6 years)
Gender: Male
Species: Fallen
SCION Team/Rank: Thunder Moon, Medic


Description:
Standing a little over six feet even, Zeros is covered head to toe in bandages. He keeps these covering immaculately clean, changing any dirty ones out whenever alone. He will normally wear loose fitting jeans and some form of loose button up shirt over the top. As for face coverings Zeros will often opt for some sort a half mask or full mask that hides his features beneath (though with the half mask he will often wear tinted glasses).

Under all of this Zeros is a ruined mess, his charcoal black skin covering only part of his burned form. Bone pokes out there and there from its home beneath the muscle, which itself is exposed here and there in patches. Zeros eyes seem to be burned and cloudy themselves, which oddly doesn't seem to affect Zeros ability to see at all. The only part of his skin that is visible at nearly all times is the tips of his fingers after the second knuckle, even then the hint that these ruin of fingers give of the man beneath the bandages and masks, is enough to dissuade even the most curious of person.


Personality:
A gentle soul Zeros is often found humming an old lullaby or hymn to himself as he tends to his business, whatever that may be. He is not much of a talker, often preferring to offer a quiet ear for others to talk to (or talk at, depending on the day). If Zeros has a mean side to him he either keeps it well hidden, or its just too mild to detect. That being said if one needs a friendly cup of tea Zeros door is always open.




Skills:
Heightened Pain Threshold: Say what you will, but the pain one experiences falling out of the sky like a meteor compares to little else. It is probably because of this that Zeros seems able to shrug off injuries that would incapacitate beings much hardier than himself. The most unsettling example of this is when Zeros will simply pop bones back into place without even a flinch.

Medical Training: After awakening from the coma that afflicts many of his kind, Zeros found work within SCION as a medic, putting his innate talent to use. A quick study, Zeros can now preform advanced medical operations that may arise in the execution of his duties.

Fallen Power: As with all Fallen, Zeros can take the pain of someone with a touch and replace it with a sense of serene calm


Weaknesses:
Never Fully healed: Zeros body never fully recovered from his injuries and as such even peeling off his bandages can cause him discomfort if not downright pain. Some days are worse than others, but no matter how bad it is Zeros simply grins and bears through it.

The price of so high a Threshold: The downside to being able to ignore even stomach churning injuries, is you never really know how bad it is until you have to confront it. To this end Zeros will often push himself past the operational limits of his body, and as such Zeros has been known to simply collapse from injury or exhaustion that finally caught up with him.

Acute Amnesia: Like all of his kind Zeros cannot remember anything before his fall




Brief History: The fallen that would come to be known as Zeros fell a little over eight years ago, falling admist a large meteor shower in northern Siberia. His comatose body was picked out of the wreckage by the then members of Thunder Moon, and was placed under the watch of Wyrm Moon. He would stay there under the watchful eyes of the team members for two years, before one day ( the eighth of March to be exact) his eyes fluttered open, to the sudden shock of the poor Wyrm team member that was taking notes over him at the time. What ensued after that could only be described as the almost comical attempts of various Wyrm members to stop Zeros as he wandered around confused, in search of a glass of water.

Eventually Zeros was brought back to his bed, where he would remain until he given a map, a good long lecture about wandering around and a guide. Well one thing led to another and soon Zeros was spending the bulk of his free-time with the various teams medics, picking up stories about various fist hand experiences. Still something must have stuck, as no more than a year or two later Zeros was made the medic of Thunder Moon. And there he has remained, stitching wounds, setting bones, and whatever else the medic needs doing in their days.

*working on image...*
Full Name: Terran Bjornson
Nicknames/Aliases: Eyes of Magnus
Age: Unknown, looks to be in his late 20s
Gender: Male
Species: Human Diviner
SCION Team/Rank: Blue Moon, Senior Agent

Description:
Terran looks like a normal human at first glance, but he has golden eyes that start glowing when he uses his powers. Often wearing long sleeve shirts to hide his many tattoos and marks from various entities. He wears jeans most of the time. His shirt is usually black and he has a leather jacket.


Personality:
Terran is quiet and reserved. He is a bit odd, having no qualms for messing with darker magic and has been reprimanded for using it at times. His argument is "There is no such thing as forbidden knowledge, only forbidden practices." He also is quite noticibly sensitive about his past and when asked about it will deflect or shut down.


Skills:
Eyes of Magnus: Terran's unique eyes allow him to see and manipulate magic as well as see normally, since he's blind. It also sometimes makes him get a headache.

Ageless: Terran stopped aging long ago. He claims it is from his unusual eyes.


Weaknesses:
Terran fears his past. Talking about it is something he just can't do. He also is quite blind. He cannot see normal and relies on his magical sight, which he does by tagging things with little bits of magic to see them.


Brief History:
Terran was born under a blue moon. His father a powerful sorcerer and his mother a seeress. When it came clear he was born blind his father hated him for it. He wouldn't accept anything less than perfection. So Terran decided to find a way. And he did in the form of Divinitation. He found he was already blessed by a god, and thus sought him out for counsel. It led to him fiding magical sight, which aids him, though it is hard to keep up, often requiering him to rest frequently, prefenting the gifted sorcerer from using it to fight.

It would be this kind of training which for the young man at the time would see to his family being wiped out. He was off at a secret ritual site at the time. And he blames himself for not doing anything... And that was the start of his troubles.

Terran eventually wound up in SCION due to his being watched as he dabbled in some "forbidden" tomes, aiming to restore his sight completely. When they tried to raid, he proved that he was actually harmless, wishing only to know about magic and it's practices. He joined the Blue Moon to help develop new magic, of which he has created three, two of which are now forbidden due to how dangerous they are.

Full Name: Missy Tsavo-Wells (Missy Tsavo)
Nicknames/Aliases: Mimi; "Oh, you're not Jeanette-Marie;"
Age: 34
Gender: Female
Species: Werecat
SCION Team/Rank: Thunder Moon (Leader, if approved.)

Description:
Missy is a woman of medium height (5’5”,) and athletic build. She has light skin and light brown eyes, with dusty silver-white hair trimmed into a feathered bob. She keeps her dress neat and functional, usually favoring pants with boots over skirts and heels.

In her shifted form, Missy is a white longhaired housecat.


Personality:
Persistent and intuitive, Missy knows how to get things done as a member of the team. She served as a senior member and second-in-command to the previous leader of Thunder Moon for several years, and not without reason. Her tenacious spirit and adaptable nature made her an especially effective agent.

In light of her sudden and recent promotion, however, she often finds herself feeling overshadowed by expectations and unsure of how to react to interpersonal conflicts within the organization. She has very little temper, but a long memory in regard to grudges. Her trust is slow-earned, but her loyalty is unquestionable. She is uncomfortable in intensely emotional situations, preferring to pass off sources of discomfort as soon as possible.


Skills:
Talented hand-to-hand combatant; enhanced agility, reflexes, and senses due to her species; excellent night vision; stealthy; skilled strategist; trained marksman; also a cat.


Weaknesses:
Unsure in the leadership position; vulnerable to both physical and magical attacks; allergic to onions and garlic; easily offended when confused with her actual cat.


Brief History:
When Missy was three years old, she was adopted from an orphanage in Tsavo, Kenya by an altruistic couple living in the United States. The orphanage director claimed that she had been orphaned when her home was attacked by a roving pack of Tsavo Maneless lions, with no remains of her mother ever being found.

The attack was nowhere in Missy’s memory, however, and she was brought back to a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, where she would grow up to be a happy child, and what her teachers described as “a very bright girl.” It wasn’t until her early teens that her condition began to manifest in bouts of unexplained illness and erratic behaviors.

And then, one evening, the screaming started.

And then the yowling.

Like any good parents, Missy’s came running. Instead of their daughter, however, they found a white, rather frantic cat trying to claw it’s way out from under her covers. The transformation lasted only a few minutes, after which the cat was replaced by a panicked Missy. But it shook the family to the core.

Her mother and father called the orphanage from which Missy was adopted, and flew home with her to discover the true nature of her orphaning. As it turned out, her parents were killed in an encounter with white lions. More surprisingly, her mother was one of the lions, descended from a long line of werecats native to the area. Her father was a human, which accounted for Missy’s small stature as a shifted animal.

The director there contacted SCION, who mentored Missy and helped her family to cope with the new information. When she graduated high school, she moved to live at the SCION headquarters, eventually ascending to become a senior member of Thunder Moon. During these fifteen years, she also pursued a relationship that ended in a failed engagement, took a two-month gap to go backpacking in Europe, and adopted a white cat named Jeanette-Marie to keep her company.

Five months ago, on a mission gone wrong, the former Thunder Moon Leader went missing-in-action. At this time, Missy was suddenly thrust into a leadership role. Some in the organization thought she was the natural choice, while others questioned her readiness to fulfill the role. Regardless, the werecat has been doing her best to fill the shoes left to her since.



Full Name: Jeantte-Marie Tsavo
Nicknames/Aliases: “Oh, you’re not Tsavo.”
Age: 4
Gender: Female
Species: Cat
SCION Team/Rank: Honorary Cat of Thunder Moon

Description:
A large, puffy white cat.


Personality:
Jeanette-Marie is an actual cat. She enjoys sunbathing, chasing Dr. Whitmore’s geckos, Dr. Kovalenko’s lab mice, and begging agents for table scraps. She also, as her owner will note, is not Missy. Missy does not lick her bum recreationally, whereas Jeanette-Marie has no such reservations.


Skills:
Climbing; eating an entire dish of cat food in one sitting; meowing; sitting on any lap; marking every black surface within a three meter radius with white fur.


Weaknesses:
Water; Dr. Kovalenko yelling at her; the squirt bottle.


Brief History:
Jeanette-Marie was born in kitten season, and taken to a shelter. Missy found her. Now Jeantte-Marie roves the mansion, stirring up trouble and generally confusing people by looking strikingly similar to her master.
