◼ HEIGHT | 5’ 10”

◼ WEIGHT | 173 lb.

◼ BUILD | Muscular, slightly malformed.

◼ HAIR COLOR | Black.

◼ EYE COLOR | Iris and Pupil is same shade of black.

◼ OTHER | Due to the genetic alteration caused by the Hype-Gene, all of approx. 100,000 miles of Gavin’s blood vessels are illuminated orange at different intensities depending on context. This varies from 30 to 60 lumens (bright enough to be noticeable through skin, but not bright enough to read something in the dark)

Ultimately, to learn to control his Ríastrads before it controls him.

◼ Ríastrad | Gavin undergoes one of three stages of his Riastrad based on how much stress he is undergoing. Inactive, Passive and Active. Inactive is a neutral state in which he is no more exceptional than a particularly hardy mundane. Passive: Gavin gain an extraordinary amount of strength and resilience. He can exert an amount of force equal to roughly fifteen grown men and can shrug off light arms fire.Active: Gavin’s Strength and resilience further increases, but he mentally decays into his base animal instincts and becomes increasingly aggressive to anything nearby. Friend or Foe. He becomes immune to conventional methods of harm and while there is no upper limit to his strength, the maximum he has ever achieved is equal to roughly 150 grown men. I should also note that his blood glows in intensity relative to which stage he is in.

Whenever he has a Ríastrad his body acts like a battery. The amount of strength he has is directly proportional to how much energy he has. A specialized organ in his body produces astatine and distributes it through his blood stream (the amount produced is proportional to how much stress he has). The astatine undergoes radioactive decay and emits energy absorbed by his blood cells for distribution to the musculature system. Due to half-lives of radioactive elements, his body will still absorb energy even after astatine is no longer being produced. Typically Gavin’s Ríastrad will last no more than thirty minutes after combat or other high-stress situations. However, Excess energy can be absorbed by the consumption of sources of energy to extend the duration of his Ríastrad. Particularly notable sources of sustainment would be animals (including humans) and most radioactive materials.

◼ The Whispering Woods | Forests are usually rife with creatures to hunt and are generally unpopulated by humans. This makes the area the best place to rest during his visit. Gavin has established several camps he can move between to remain hidden.

◼ HEIGHT | 5' 8" - 178 cm.

◼ WEIGHT | 167 lbs - 76 kg.

◼ BUILD | Athletic.

◼ HAIR COLOR | Dark brown.

◼ EYE COLOR | Bleak green.

◼ OTHER | A multitude of scars and scratches of various sizes adorns Smith's body. Some innocent, others not.

◼ KNOWLEDGE REPLICATION | John is capable of replicating other people's knowledge by physical touch, as well as put it to practical use. He may, through skin contact, learn skills, practices and information that the other person possess, and master it to the same level. This includes anything from driving to playing a guitar to advanced biochemistry - as long as John himself would be capable of performing the feat. This means he may not, for example, replicate physical movements that is beyond his own body's capabilities, nor replicate superhuman powers (whether hyperhuman or otherwise).

Furthermore, John may replicate knowledge to a lesser extent simply by observing it, whether it is through watching someone doing something on TV, reading a book or listening to instructions. In essence, this translates as a much heightened capacity for learning and works just like it does for a normal human when they are learning, except faster.

◼ SECURITY | Perhaps his most important skillset. John has acquired this not only through his power, but also the normal way as he is on a daily basis using them. He has vast knowledge of security technology such as alarms, locks and biometrics - how to use it but especially how to disable it. He knows about forensic analysis, threat assessment and tactical as well as strategical awareness. In short, he knows how to catch and how to not get caught.

◼ SOCIAL | Having learned from the best, John knows how to appeal to people, get on their good sides and/or manipulate them. Naturally he does not know what any one individual think and what makes them tick, but he is well aware of how most act, what they appreciate, what they dislike and what scares them. He also speak several languages at a native level. All of this enables John to blend into various groups of people, as well as giving him an edge in more direct confrontation - such as wooing someone or performing an interrogation.

◼ SCIENCE | Not so much a skill, perhaps. John is obviously very learned and knows plenty of various scientific fields. Most of it lacks practical use, but there are some. His mastery of psychology and anthropology helps him in the skillset mentioned above, and his knowledge of medicine in mitigating any wounds he might acquire, while fields like history and political science merely serves as topics of conversation.

◼ FIREARMS | John is a cracking shot. Hand guns in particular, but John also knows how to operate effectively with military grade weapons. Skills replicated from gifted individuals with great eye-to-hand coordination.

◼ CLOSE QUARTERS COMBAT | Mastery of various practical fighting disciplines, nearly exclusively those taught in the police and military. Eye-to-hand coordination plays a role here as well, as does the invaluable knowledge of experience that he has simply replicated from others.

◼ LIMITED MIND | There are only so many things one can keep in his head at all times, and while John may be able to retain considerably more information than most, he is not even remotely close to being able to learn everything. When stretched to its limits, John's mind simply has to let go of other information in order to "make room" for new - a process that works a lot faster than a humans would. More over, knowledge that John has acquired with his power will eventually wither unless put to use (much like it does for normal humans). This is especially true of direct skills, especially physical ones, less so of theoretical knowledge like scientific theories and further less so of mere information.

◼ THE POWER OF TOUCH AND AWARENESS | An obvious potential problem with John's power is that he has to maintain physical touch. It is not enough to merely graze the skin of someone as he has to maintain contact for an extended period of time; anywhere between a few seconds up to an hour depending on the volume of information he is replicating, and how advanced it is. He has found that the time it takes has increased over the years - whether it has to do with aging or something else is anyone's guess. What's more - John has to know what he is looking for when he is replicating. It is a conscious and focused act, not a subconscious copy & paste of everything someone knows. When John is replicating someone's knowledge, he may only replicate what he is aware of that the other person knows.

◼ ROGUE | John works alone, without any form of help or backup. If he finds himself in trouble, there is no one to aid him. It is a simple weakness, but an imperative one.

◼ UNSTABLE PSYCHE | While John may be ferocious and determined, he is also far too high-spun and engrossed in his work for his own good. He suffers from depression and drinks more than he should - enough that it affects his life. He tends to let his emotions get the better of him, leading to rash decisions with undesirable outcomes, even though he knows better. He is also far too proud and stubborn for his own good, keenly taking on objectives that are more trouble than they are worth.

◼ DEPENDENCE ON ABILITY | What is John Smith without his power of knowledge replication? If, for whatever reason, John was to be unable to use his powers, it would be much more devastating to him than the vast majority of other hyperhumans. This is because he's only acquired basic skills like driving and cooking by himself. Every single advanced skill and complicated knowledge he ever retained he got with his power. The loss of his power would render John effectively useless.

◼ Pointe Bordeaux | John rents a small apartment in the north of Pointe Bordeaux, right at the junction of Gangiez and Lost Hearts Club. Furthermore, John owns several other properties (in other names) in and outside of Crescent City.

◼ EQUIPMENT | Various gear of security nature such as bulletproof vests, grenades, wires & winches, firearms and consumer grade technological devices, most of it kept in the properties John secretly keeps elsewhere.

◼ HEIGHT | 5'11" (178 cm)

◼ WEIGHT | 174 lbs (79 kg)

◼ BUILD | Average

◼ HAIR COLOR | Dirty blonde (natural)

◼ EYE COLOR | Marble grey

◼ OTHER | Has a solid gold stud in his left ear, as well as small surgical scars behind his ears, and in his neck. Larger surgical scars on his torso, as well as a Guy Fawkes mask tattoed on his back.

Telltale is driven, first and foremost, by a desire to elevate the disadvantaged or weak into positions of power, and tear down the powerful and malevolent. While this typically translates to aggressive, destructive behaviour, he'd be happy to protect and assist the powerful and benign. In Crescent City, this will typically translate into saboutage of the criminal syndicates and identifying the enablers of crime.

◼ Neural Interface | Telltale can connect to most devices using the augments in his brain, esentially hacking with his mind. The risk is that getting booted out of a system or infected with countermalware will hurt him, or disable him for a time. He can, however, tap into surveillance remotely and use cameras and microphones in his vicinity to expand his sensory range, a great boon when it comes to stealth. On a less serious note, he can play video games without using his hands, which is indeed how he spends his lazy evenings, and functions as a walking wi-fi hotspot (when he enables it).

◼ Skeletal Armour | In addition to his neural augs, Telltale has replaced his ribcage with a lightweight ceramic armour to serve as protection against small arms fire. Weakest in the rear, as it is structured not to lock the spine. Serves only to stop low-caliber bullets.

◼ Hacking | A world-class hacker, Telltale can bypass anything but the cutting edge of digital security with relative ease, and often from afar. Advanced digital security requires more time and sophisticated tools, but are not beyond the scope of his skills. He's also well-versed in kickboxing and jiu-jutsu, skills learnt from necessity in prison.

◼ Multitasking | While Telltale can theoretically hack, watch security feeds, and move at the same time, a loss of focus will often leave his hacks compromised or his regular senses dulled. Therefore, in high-stress situations, Telltale is almost always dependant on outside support to help him focus and prioritize.

◼ Digital Noise | Telltale can get distracted if there are too many signals in the same ranges in which he operates, sometimes forcing a shutdown due to the sheer traffic. He's also susceptible to jamming and even targeted DoS attacks, acts which can physically harm him, albeit not severely.

◼ Dapper Dog Motel | A musty old room in a motel on the city's outskirts, Henric crashes here for its incognito nature and the internet café downstairs. He has rented two rooms, one under his own name, to serve as a buffer in case someone locates him. The arrangement is not permanent.

◼ Computing equipment | Telltale posesses a number of computers, large and small, stationary and portable. He also has a set of traditional lockpicks, and a small .357 compact handgun for use in emergencies.

◼ HEIGHT | 5’8

◼ WEIGHT | 124lbs

◼ BUILD | Willowy

◼ HAIR COLOR | Brown

◼ EYE COLOR | Teal

Ultimately, Jacqueline wants most to restore her family’s wealth and name among the Draoi. Her actions in doing so however, are severely limited- having only been accepted to join to Draoi as homage to what the Glasse family had once been. Without any wealth to call her own, she is expected to be the last of the line. For now she works mostly as a ward to her mentor Jacqueline Aude, generally doing her dirty work. While not privy to exactly what Aude is scheming, she was sent to Crescent city under the pretense of attending Grimm University, only to spend the bulk of her time campaigning for a man she'd never heard of.

◼ Vis | Jacqueline is largely still learning her own limits when it comes to manipulating the Vis to her will. Nox powers, particularly kinetic and thermal manipulations, come to her almost easily while the Lux side of magic eludes her completely.
- Gravitation: Kinetic energy either attracts or repels an object to Jacqueline's conduit.
- Thermal: Over very short distances, Jacqueline's conduit either absorbs or dispenses great amounts of thermal energy causing the system to freeze or com-bust respectively.

◼ Bilingual | Since the age of 11 Jacqueline has mostly lived in France with her mentor, where she has picked up both the language and accent.

◼ Conduit | Jacqueline knows better than most not to even think of the Vis without a conduit on hand.

◼ Indentured| As freely as she spends money, Jacqueline knows she has none of her own. More importantly she is without allies save for Aude. It is one bridge she cannot afford to burn however much she may want to.

◼ Confidence of Youth | Even for a young Draoi, Jacqueline is prideful. Worse still is how easily wounded that pride is, and her visceral reaction to it. Her impatience and haste to anger when paired with undisciplined magic make for an unfortunate combination.

◼ Undisciplined Power | Tuning out the outside world to channel the Vis is one thing, but mastering her own emotions is another. There is no finesse or delicacy to Jacqueline's magic, it is unleashed in torrents more often than not, and despite all her years of study does not always perform in the way she intends.

◼ The Spires | Jacqueline has been put to the task of joining the Armand de la Cruz mayoral campaign.

◼ Albatross Cove | The location of Aude's apartment, where Jacqueline is currently living.

◼ Grimm University | Jacqueline has barely even seen the campus, which is odd enough considering it was supposedly the reason she came to the city. She is enrolled in and failing the linguistics program.

◼ Pendant|

The only object from the Glasse family Jacqueline is in possession of, or so Aude told her when she gifted it on the completion of her ritual. It is worn with a gold chain around her neck acts as her conduit.
