Savannah Catalina Gonzalez.

Savannah isn't really the type to like having nicknames thrown her way.

8/1/1997.

20.

Bisexual - Likes men more than women though.

Single.

College Student.

The first thing people notice whenever they look at Savannah is her flawless and blemish free skin. The complexion of her skin comes from her being mixed with two different ethnicities, Caucasian and Hispanic. Her hair is raven colored and shoulder length, along with her hair being naturally straight. Savannah is very short for her age, standing at a height of five foot two. She has a slender and toned frame with her weight being only one hundred and twenty-two pounds. Her eyes glimmer with a chestnut brown color but in a different amount of lighting, her orbs appear to be muddy brown. Savannah does not have any scars or tattoos but she does have her earlobes pierced as they usually have diamond stubs in them. Her style is very girly girl as she really only likes to wear blouses and dresses to match along with heels.

Savannah is very motherly in terms of taking care of someone who really needs it. She'll always open up her heart to anyone who deserves to have a little love. She isn't afraid to go out there and actually try to change the world as she'll cook for the homeless and even deliver them the meals herself. Savannah is also loyal to the people she befriend as she doesn't want anyone to mess with her friends. If someone was to mess with Savannah's close friends then they are asking for nothing but trouble when it comes to her. If you mess with one of her friends, you better be prepared to mess with her, as well. She doesn't play the radio when it comes to her friends and will defend or fight for them whenever the time is right or she sees fit.

Even though she such a great personality, she also have a few negative traits about her personality, too. Savannah truly hates these traits about herself though. She is a perfectionist to say the very least when it comes to wanting things done a certain way or when it comes to putting things in a certain spot. Savannah likes to have a clean and carefree living space as she doesn't want nothing but positive vibes to flow through. Other than that, she is also very opinionated when it comes to certain things, too. She is opinionated about anything that just has to have an opinion about. She hates this side about her but that was the way she was raised, to be honest. It's hard and frustrating at the same exact time.

Overall, she is a great person to be around and values everyone equally as she would hope for the same in return. She is an excellent person to befriend because she'll have your back till the bitter end.

Atmokinesis- After the storm, Savannah managed to gain the ability of Atmokinesis, better known as Weather Manipulation. Savannah can create, manipulate the weather patterns within the atmosphere and she can even sense the weather, as well.

Manhattan, New York.

Being born with Manhattan, New York isn't easy for most people to do. But with two wonderful parents, Eduardo and Juliette Gonzalez, they made it a little bit easier for their lovely daughter and only child, Savannah. Just might anything and everything Savannah pointed at or touched, she received. She was heavily spoiled by her parents but they loved her dearly, so there was really no choice that they had. Growing up, she went to the best preschools and elementary schools that Manhattan had to offer but whenever she reached the middle school and teenager years, she did not want her parents to keep paying for her education so she insisted on attending public school.

Even though her parents protested many, many times, they went ahead and sent her to Manhattan Middle School. There, she wasn't really accepted by many but honestly did not care as she was hellbent on reigning over her class. Through the sixth grade, she did what she had set out to do and reigned over her class, excelling at the top of her class. Savannah held this title for awhile and even graduated Manhattan Middle School by being class president and among other things.

Though she graduated from the middle school, her parents wanted to send her to an elite private school within the area and to Savannah's dismay, she was surely outside the school and in a uniform that made her want to puke. But Savannah did something so bold and daring as she altered her uniform slightly and added a few accessories, here and there. Upon her entry to the school, she was instantly judged but kept her head held high as she just walked past those with the judging eyes. Throughout her high school years, she made many friends and gathered many enemies, too. Even though she did not bare the crown or title of Queen Bee, she was certainly adored by many of her classmates and had many followers, who would do just about anything for her. She graduated from the school and her graduation gift was a trip to England, a place she has wanted to visit.

While her time in England was rather limited, she told her parents that she wanted to attend Brighton University. So, after her vacation, she went back home to Manhattan, packed and her parents finally gave her something that she waited her whole for, her trust fund. So, now that she was off, she could not be happier with spending her time within the United Kingdom.

Once she settled into her flat, The Lights as they are called, in Brighton, a horrific storm struck just a few days later. Savannah was currently outside when the storm hit, walking with an umbrella as she made it to her flat, safely. After the storm, she began very sick and did not even know why. Savannah had to miss at least two days of classwork until the sickness passed. She haven't been able to find the source that caused her sickness but still took antibiotics everyday, just in case.

It has been about a few days since she has been sick and Savannah definitely feels different but she doesn't know why. Savannah finally went back to class but still feels slightly different after the storm, nevertheless.

Simon Alexander Graham

"The Blind Pianist". Given to him by a news report that was reporting a blind high school student winning a multi-county level piano competition. Simon kept it as a stage name for any of his performances, as he is quite fond of it, and it explains what most people are probably attracted to him for. Most of his fans know him by this moniker rather than his actual name.

January/3/1987

30

Was Hetero before he lost his sight, but has drifted more towards Bi. Still prefers women.

Single, he doesn't want to burden someone by making them date a blind man.

Full-time musician, actually somewhat successful. Regularly plays at "The Casalingo" (A formal Italian restaurant where he plays piano for the patrons) and "The Bus Stop" (A small cafe in the middle of town). Has been hired to open for more famous bands, but has a decent sized following himself. He makes enough money to afford himself a well-sized apartment, and he stores a large amount of money in his savings - He currently has about $30,000 in his savings.

Standing at a staggering 6'4 and weighing 240 pounds, Simon is very hairy and could be described as a "bear". He is covered in several, large scars, mostly from the surgery that saved his life. He has a tattoo of a heart that has a band aid stretched across it, and is actually pretty embarrassed about it. Additionally, he has a birthmark on the underside of his foot that is far lighter in skin tone than the surrounding flesh. It's impossible to see because of the hair, but he has a mole on his lip, and actually grew his beard out because he was tired of accidentally cutting it and spraying blood everywhere. His eyes are gray and are clouded over, while his hair is white and black.

For clothing, Simon honestly doesn't really care what it looks like (for obvious reasons), and prefers clothes that feel comfortable against his skin. This has lead to horrible outfits in the past, and has forced his mother and sister to pick out his attire, leading it to be fairly bland and interchangeable. He typically wears baggy jeans, a muscle T-shirt, and a coat/hoodie. The style and type of design changes frequently, but they all feel the same and he can't tell the difference. Whenever he performs at "The Casalingo", he wears a white suit jacket, black tie, white dress shirt, and white suit pants, a fake Rolex, the same belt he wears with his jeans, and black dress shoes. This is his "Formal attire". He wears his casual outfit when performing at most other places. No matter where he is, Simone will always carry his walking cane with him: a gray, collapsible variant that reaches about 5-feet in length. Metallic, but Simon never really cared to learn what metal it was made of.

Simon is a very calm, mature individual, the type you would see watching an opera or play. He finds that violence is not detrimental towards having a fulfilling life, and he uses weightlifting to remove stress and aggression. Simon rarely feels bad about his disability, and considering he has lived most of his life with it, he honestly doesn't even notice he has a disability half the time. One of the funniest things to him is when people try to side step or not mention his disability, and he loves it when he points it out and they try to defend themselves. Despite this, though, he is not a big trickster and rarely laughs at others, especially not their misfortunes. Simon tries to be a good person, and is willing to let people figuratively walk all over him if it helps others. Simon loves music more than anything else in the world, and considers music as one of the main reasons that he is still alive. With his new powers, Simon feels a responsibility to help others, and will do his best to not abuse his powers for his own convenience.

After the storm, Simon suddenly developed the power of Sound Manipulation. He recognized this awakening when his body unconsciously started emitting a tone nearly unpercievable for human ears, that Simon was able to use as a form of echolocation. It's fuzzy at best, but he can see in 360 degrees and his "Sight" isn't impacted by tear gas or anything that limits vision. Considering this echolocation only reaches about 50 feet in front of him, Simon assumes that this is his range of control. Simon can replicate any noise within this 50 foot sphere, and can make it as loud as 130 decibels at maximum. Usually, however, he is limited to 100 decibels, as any higher would tire him out quickly. He can selectively pick people to be ignore whenever he uses his power, such as for an extremely loud attack. This doesn't nullify the actual injury their ears suffer, just makes them ignore the pain they feel from the noise. Additionally, as an assistance to his power, Simon's ears have become incredibly resilient and regenerative, allowing him to withstand the constant exposure to loud noises without losing his sense of hearing.

While Simon can create a noise in his sphere, and control it's properties while it is in the sphere, the noise acts like regular sound waves when it leaves his area of control. Simon's power is incredibly different underwater, essentially eliminating his echolocation and making his ability behave entirely differently, making it nearly useless. Simon's powers don't work in a vacuum, or anywhere that sound waves cannot travel. While not an actual limitation on his power, Simon refuses to use his ability to help his musical career, considering it to be cheating and doing himself a disservice. Simon's power is weak, and he can't do anything impressive like hitting the right frequency to make people explode or anything. If someone has something that blocks their hearing, and it is strong enough, Simon can't do anything to them with his power. Using his power is physically exhausting, and while using his echolocation can be done indefinitely, generating noises to quickly or loudly will force him to rest and recover his stamina. Trying to go over his limit has a number of effects based on how hard he pushes himself, such as a bloody nose, migraines, dizziness, blacking out, muscle spasms, general tiredness, comas, and eventually, death

Brighton, England, Born and Raised.

Raised in a home right by the coast, you could describe Simon as a spoiled kid growing up. He was naturally gifted at music, and his parents nurtured this gift by hiring instructors and buying instruments. By the time he had graduated elementary school, Simon was already quite proficient at playing the piano, and was equally good at the guitar by the time of the accident. Simon's grades were average throughout his life, and he typically gravitated to more physically demanding activities. His parents loved him, showering him in praise and adoration whenever he played for them or placed highly in a competition. He was surrounded by friends, was well liked by many people, and was the role model of his younger sister, Emily. He was your average kid, and even managed to get a girlfriend by his second year of middle school. Everything changed, however, on November 22, 2000.

Playing soccer with Emily in their families front yard, he had just missed a well placed shot from his sister, and the ball had rolled into the middle of the road. Calling out "I got it", Emily rushed into the streets, not even paying attention to the traffic. Simon was just quick enough to see that a car was swerving violently around in the road, and thanks to years of physical activity at his young age, was fast enough to push her away. Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough to dodge the car, and was ran over, suffering multiple broken bones, internal bleeding, and heavy head trauma. After a year in the hospital, Simon was able to leave and return to his old life - But lost his vision as a result of the head trauma. His friends were distant now that they were in a higher grade, and his old girlfriend had dumped him, not wanting to be in a relationship with a handicapped person. Simon was a completely different person, quiet and reserved, and was eventually moved to a school for the blind that was just outside of town.

Luckily, in his yearlong stay at the hospital, Simon was taught Braille, and was allowed to play his guitar during the day. When he was well enough to be moved around, he was even allowed to play the piano in the common room for the patients. Only a month after learning braille, Simon had already mastered musical notation in braille, and could play his instruments using muscle memory and braille markings on the keys of his piano. Scars littered Simon's body, but he was completely unaware of there appearance - he could only touch and feel the marks in his flesh that changed with each surgery. Simon was expelled from the hospital on November 5th, 2001, just shy of a year when he was admitted. His new school was very well-equipped, and the faculty was caring, but Simon hated the pity he felt in their voices whenever thy spoke to him. That only reminded that he wasn't normal, that he was less. That he had taken a step back, while everyone he knew took a step forwards. The only saving grace to him was that Emily was willing to do pretty much anything he said, as she was nearly crippled with guilt from making her brother lose his eye sight. She was the person that chose Simon's clothes and did everything for him that required his sight. At the age of 17, as a sophomore in High school, Simon entered a multi-county level competition. Out of the 48 counties in the United Kingdom, 5 were participating, and high schoolers in these areas were encouraged to enter and play for the chance to win recommendations to musical colleges, and coverage from the media. Through extreme effort and hard work, Simon managed to beat the competition.

While Simon appreciated the recommendation, he never really needed it - He never planned to enter in a musical college, preferring to jump straight into his music career once he finished high school. The media titled him "The Blind Pianist", and while there were plenty of blind musicians, people were surprised he was so young and had a disability, yet was so talented. Feeling proud that he managed to push his way to the top even with his disability, Simon finally realized that he didn't have a disability. A disability is something that held you back - Simon finally realized that his blindness doesn't need to hold him back. Simon finally moved beyond his regret and sadness that he was blind, and learned how to live again.

After the competition, Simon returned to a semblance of his old life. Was he sad that he was blind? Of course. But he had a loving family, new friends, and a talent that he could use and constantly improve on. Simon graduated high school at 19, and had begun to perform at numerous restaurants and openings for bands. While money was tight in the first couple years, he eventually made a name for himself as he started participating in national level, and even a few world-wide competitions. He never manage to place first in either, but he always placed higher than he did the year prior, and last year, he made it to 2nd place. While he was still ranking low in the world, he was incredibly glad that he was the 2nd best pianist in all of the UK. Despite this ranking, however, his popularity was only really widely known in his hometown, Brighton, where he was able to land two regular showings, "The Casalingo" and "The Bus Stop". While he played the piano he was known for at "The Casalingo", he almost exclusively played the guitar at "The Bus Stop", only occasionally playing his saxophone. Simon's life was changed forever when he was hired to play at "The Lights".

"The Lights" was very famous for being a tourist destination, and what would be a better attraction than having Brighton's most famous musician play for the guests! Arriving at the beach front property, Simon played beautifully, to the audiences delight, and was given free lodging and food for his service. Simon was just thankful that he was able to get into the hotel before the rain started, however, as a massive storm was in the forecast that morning. Simon closed his eyes, falling unconscious to the sound of thunder and wind. The next time he regained consciousness, he could see a map of the room he was in that was laid out in front of him.

After over an hour of experimentation, Simon eventually realized that he had somehow developed echolocation and the ability to generate sound. Realizing that he could use this power to live a normal life and possibly even help others, Simon left the hotel with determination in his heart. It's been a week since the storm, and Simon has found the general limits of his powers. Promising to only use his powers to help others and to swear off their use for personal gain, Simon continued his life as it was, but on the lookout for other's like him... Other's who had developed these strange, paranormal capabilities, who he could confide in and trust... Or maybe he just wanted friends after his years of adulthood had left his only companions being his family and his tabletop group.

Elijah Riley Kingston

Cinnamon

Bubbles

Curly

June 21, 1990

28

Bisexual

Single, as flirting is just a habit for people who want to say "I'm avaliable"

A part-time worker at the bar with the restaurant "Eden's Garden". It is a popular place that targets the nightlife that runs through Brighton and attracts the tourists that flock to the place for whatever they desire. Serving food and beverages along with a night of entertainment with the various activities they host during the week, it is a well-traveled restaurant. Elijah himself has been working there ever since he was a kid whether it be with the dishes, serving the food or something else to contribute to the work environment around him that has grown on him. Being well known to the locals for both his family's restaurant and the work he does in the various establishment he is in. He mostly works night shifts and has the day open for anything he may have planned to do during those hours.

His other job is also part-time as a teacher of the foreign language Spanish which he is currently on a trial period to see if he is good for the school and if he meshes well with the environment. With his classes being earlier in the morning, he has free time during the afternoon before going to his other job in the restaurant where he works at night. With his personality so far, he has been making a good impression on both the staff and the students that are in his class.

Being about the same as the average person, Elijah stands around the height of 5'10 and weighs about 175 pounds from his total stature being combined at once. Having a slightly athletic build that makes up his body, leading up to his head with his angular jaw that is outlined by his facial hair and his usually styled-haircut that he always has which makes his whole bare form. He has no distinguishable marks or tattoos on him but he has had several piercings that have disappeared from years of disuse which don't exist anymore.

Moving onto the extra things that people put on themselves... Elijah is a guy who is pretty well-kept with his hygiene and clothing which mostly comes out of the good habit of being clean like any normal person does, it's just that he takes the extra 20 minutes. With it leaving him smelling something warm and sensual, almost like faint notes of cinnamon whenever he isn't covering it up or overpowering it with other products that he uses. It shouldn't be a surprise that with him being on top of his appearances, he has a respectable wardrobe that is tailored to different styles and trends of clothing which he freely changes from day to day depending on what the person in the mirror feels like wearing that day that works on him. From a preppy look can change into a workout outfit in a moments notice or swapping into some streetwear if he is feeling the mood for it. He has enough clothes to do whatever he wants, it the space that he needs to worry about.

Outgoing, Adventurous, Flirty, Calculative, and Willful

Elijah just sees himself as another person playing the game that life truly is, seeing the lines that connect everything together. Seeing the tropes and stereotypes played out in reality, he find himself assimilating with a few categories that he never expected to mesh together so well. Being a fairly outgoing guy which knits his entire package together on what someone could suspect what would be inside. With his general personality being quite open, he is someone to go for the fun and party that he can get started even if it's just a small group enjoying themselves. He simply just knows how to unwind at the end of the day before settling back down to handle business again at the start of the day.

Moving back to his normal everyday duties, he is a surprisingly perceptive person who utilizes it fully with his sociable personality to make the most of it. Being a guy like to flirt and toss witty remarks at people whether its get through to them or hits their thick skull which he finds as something fun. Having a good handle on feeling the mood around the room and easily adjusting himself to suit the situation to fit in neat and comfortable. Being a changing persona to play a new role, he is a social chameleon that can blend in when needed and attract attention if wanted. Keeping his true thoughts locked away in a safe far behind the mask that he has created for the situation, Elijah is much more of a cunning individual once you realize this but most people never do.

While Elijah may not know it now, in the past week he has been using his newfound abilities without even knowing that he has. With his powers allowing him to learn various areas of trades at an accelerated rate, despite it not being instantaneous mastery- he is able to learn things to a degree that would take others years to reach in comparison with practice within months. The ability of Elijah's Intuitive Aptitude while can generally effect things that he practices with, it excels much more on the social scene where he is able to understand the complexity of human language much more deeply despite his previous familiarity with it. Taking his awareness to another level as he begins capable of reading and interpreting many of the numerous signs that people give off. With some time dedicated to practicing these signals, he is able to replicate them with his own skill that allows him to a natural at using them himself.

Elijah's ability to be capable of learning a variety of things within time is limited on how he is experiencing them which translates to how fast he learns them. With new subjects requiring a suitable example for him to go off on and essentially learn from it, trying to train by himself is possible but will progress at a slower rate. He still has to learn from scratch, it is just the fact that he progresses faster than the class as it seems to be a natural at doing it. Skills that he already has an understanding of previously, are elevated with natural experience building upon the foundation that he already has, enhancing them to new levels but again require better examples in order to essentially break through the glass ceiling. This limitation is firmly placed through all of Elijah's power with the exception of his social intuition which he has achieved a state of near mastery now enhanced with his own power.

Brighton, England is his hometown where he was born and raised

Elijah has raised in Brighton his whole entire life, with his Mom and Dad in the restaurant most of the time while occasionally traveling whenever Dad picked up a side job of remodeling a place for old time sake. How the two of them met, was when Mom had begun running the restaurant herself for several years already as the place grew into an attraction for not only the tourists but locals of the coastal city. There she handles hiring the workers and staff members, finance, and everything else you could think of that an owner should be handled in such a place. When she decided to remodel the restaurant for a bigger space for the growing crowds, she hired what would be her future husband where everything hit off. Between the two of them, they finished the remodeling of the restaurant and entered a steady relationship in which resulted in Dad settling down in Brighton. With a few years later having a baby boy, they named Elijah.

Here in Brighton, Elijah was raised near the coast as the restaurant was located near so that the commute between the business and home lived only a few blocks away. There whenever he wasn't doing anything for school, he worked there as his Mother introduced him to the food business. Rotating around the positions that he was given as he grew up, he had a decent understanding of the various jobs that were in the process of running a restaurant. He grew up with balancing all aspects of his life as if he was an adult by the time he was a Sophmore in high school where his academics, career, and social aspects of his life was handled by him. He was independent a long time before a good majority of his peers came to the same spot he stood managing his own life. Leaving the familiar behind as he explored more of his bustling town, taking a job at another restaurant for the fact of not being favored in the establishment unlike before and enjoying the new found entertainment that came in the night.

His outgoing nature that attracted people to him previously in school and back at the old place that he worked, made him a popular worker in the new place that he was at. "Eden's Garden" was a popular place that attracted the nightlife and suited Elijah perfectly, meeting a variety of people there during the many shifts that he attended there. With the time that he spent there, he grew interested in the cultures of other countries and decided to take a chance to study abroad. He went to grab a teaching degree for foreign languages where he got the chance to jump around in the different countries such as Spain, Colombia, and Mexico for a few years with the money he saved along with the opportunities he took to get there. However, every few years he comes back around to Brighton again to enjoy time with friends and family here in the coastal city.

Arriving during amidst a storm, he took shelter in his family's restaurant where he waited the storm out with the various patrons to whom he talked to along with his parents who were enjoying themselves. Ending the night with a last cheer of holler and drinks before closing up, he knew it was nice to be back home again. Taking the next week to settle in himself, as he rented out a small place for privacy and pulled some connections to land a few jobs to sustain him in the town that he has lived in for most of his life. So far, everything has been going alright with little to nothing that he has to complain about expect how different it is with how people act differently from the various countries he's been to. Unaware of whatever is going on with his hometown, he continued going through his life like he always had began the next day with a hopeful outlook of something interesting to do.

Adah Maria Komchén

To friends and acquaintances: Madchen, Adde

To customers, associates, and business partners: Gehenna, Sheol, The Christian

Owner of 'Don Juan's (Strip club)'
Co-owner of 'Blackie O'Donnagan's Arcade, Slots, & Shots' (Blackie's)'
Drug trafficker/supply (Weed, Narcotics)

Adah is a slight, but figured woman, with a relatively small bust contrasted with an almost hourglass, athletic lower frame. She stands around 5' 4", and is never seen in anything but skinny jeans. Typically dark blue, occasionally black, never acid wash. She tends to wear casual tops, neutral colored button downs or t-shirts, layered with cardigans or zip up hoodies. She had a large collection of scarves that will typically match her pants. Of note is her hair, shaved on one side, and her jewelry-- which, while understated, is always shiny and plainly authentic. Diamonds are her friend, and she prefers necklaces, earrings, toe rings, anklets, and time pieces, all respectively diamond studded, all casually hidden beneath her more causal dress. She had no tattoos, and does have a diamond tongue and navel piercings. Her eyes are inky black, and she is always wearing black cowboy boots-- an homage to her late father.

She doesn't cook-- or visit restaurants. Instead, mostly relying on meals prepared by her grandmother to sustain her-- often visiting the woman several times per day.

She keeps a fiercely tight belt. She rarely flaunts her salary at others, instead preferring to save and invest. She's certainly biding her time, putting away thousands for something. But she's tight lipped as to what. She wears expensive jewelry to contrast with her rather plain manner of dress, but she has a tight control on her impulses, and doesn't buy enough to put her out. Her largest expenses stem from gambling, and her visits to strip clubs.

She doesn't smoke either-- her asthma is incredibly sensitive. She can hardly run without breaking out in fits of coughing. On bad days, just the smell of smoke is enough to trigger a violent attack. As such, she always carriers a high strength inhaler-- it's unclear how long she'd last without it.

She has weekly therapy sessions. Though, she hardly tells anyone about this. She's been seeing her doctor for years, and despite the breech in professionalism, considers the woman one of her only friends. Regularly buying her gifts.

Travelling: Immersing oneself in other cultures is her favorite thing to experience. Brighton can be a fishbowl, and it's good to leave every now and then, and remind yourself there's a whole world outside of her little, insignificant drug running business.

Chess: It's cliche-- but a game with oneself is a good time to consider next moves in life, she finds. She does it quite frequently.

Strip clubs: A weekly vice. She considers it therapeutic, since she's unlikely to meet someone she'd click with anywhere-- at least she can satisfy her more carnal desires regularly.

Reading: She almost always has some young adult mystery, or romance novel on her person. Her favorite series is Game of Thrones. She has not seen the show.

Gambling: A less than weekly vice she takes part in. More to honor the legacy of her surrogate father, than anything.

Uppers: Her drug of choice-- from coffee to coke. Though she worries she may be developing a reliance, like her mother.

Soul food: Her grandmother, true creole from Louisiana, makes collards and grits better than anyone Adah's ever met. Adah hardly eats anywhere that isn't her grandmother's house.

Music: Adah likes the instrumentation of bands like The Smiths, Joy Division, and Depeche mode, as well as the lyricism in most rap. Though she likes pretty much all of it, from country to mariachi to polka.

Games: Growing up in Brighton-- one had to take to arcade games. She's gotten good at them, and even today, they hold a place in her heart.

Planning/strategy: It's how she's able to operate so seamlessly.

Those who earn her respect: Like her late father. And Blackie, her late surrogate father. Those who can demonstrate strength through intelligence, to her, are always worth listening to.

Unpredictable situations: Any situation where she feels variables are unexaminable, make her intrinsically uncomfortable.

Stupidity: She doesn't not stand fools. Anyone who doesn't take her sound advice, to her, can't be a smart person.

Boredom: Time not spent on a task is time wasted. Even if that task is merely for satisfaction of the self.

EDM: She likes all music, except EDM. Which has no soul.

The 24 Hour News Cycle: It's an opiate given to the masses that the pigs use to instill fear in her populace. It's a big point of contention with her grandmother.

Violence: Especially unnecessary violence. She believes compromise is always the smarter choice.

Law Enforcement: The pigs would just love to put her away. Luckily,
her criminal versatility means she doesn't even have a record. They don't actually know who they're looking for.

Addiction: It runs in her family. She has participated in any number of vices, she has become attached to some more than others-- she may simply have a taste for some drugs, behaviors... and women-- while she might be borderline addicted to others-- she's certainly developed quite a reliance on cocaine in her coffee to function daily. And doesn't mind indulging in party drugs to help move along her deals.

Vulnerability: It's part of the reason few of her relationships last more than a few months. She has a desire for connection to others, but the idea of letting others into her head scares her, however much she wants to connect. This is also why she works at her image-- she doesn't want to experience the vulnerability many women feel at night. She wants desperately to surpass her slot, as someone who should be afraid.

A Meaningless Death: She isn't sure what she wants to build. But she know she wants to leave something behind. She doesn't know how she's going to get from Boardwalk dealer to Pablo Escobar-- but she wants it. It's not death she fears, per se, just historical insignificance.

A lack of affection from her drugg-addled mother and the perceived abandonment by and subsequent death of her Father have melded Adah into a very affectionless individual. She later came to idolize her father, upon relaizing the many sacrificed he made for her, and her family-- and obsessed with showing her compassion in a similar fashion. She doesn't say "I love you," instead-- she'll buy you the most expensive brand of clothing you like, and set up fund in your name. This means she's reserved... and has extreme difficulties in her relationship with others, and with others.

To combat her depression and talk through her aspergers, she self-medicates with sample sof the drugs she funnels into Brighton-- and sees a therapist weekly. Her personality is resolute, and she doesn't deal well with those who refuse to try and look at every situation, through every lens possible.

Localized neuro-electrochemical theft: Adah's, unlike most abilities, ability is to simply create generally favorable conditions for her to act in by manipulating people around her. It doesn't have any real offensive capabilities, besides causing long term bodily damage to those it might effect for extended periods, by making them more susceptible to disease, depression, and suicide.

Adah's ability dramatically reduces the aggressiveness of those under its effects.

Manifesting as an invisible telekinetic field, that can travel as far as 25 meters from Adah. Her ability's effect travels through water in the atmosphere and numbs the human limbic and nervous systems, by stealing away a tiny electric potential of 0.07 Volts per second. This is an otherwise negligible current, however, continued exposure to this effect, when activated, is said to reduce a person's will to fight.

Any feeling of aggressiveness will be reduced, as the longer they remain effected by her ability, they become more agreeable, compliant, and eventually sadder. The lack of electro-chemical energy in the target's system, will also reduce their reaction time-- someone under the full strength of Adah's ability, will see the world delayed by several seconds-- allowing Adah to appear to be moving at superhuman speeds. Ironically, though, Adah's ability indirectly increases the fighting prowess of its victims, as they eventually become so depressed they ignore pain and fear, and are focused on their own misery-- meaning that while they become easier to attack, they are much harder to kill.

Electrokinesis immunity: Interestingly, Adah is also immune to electrical damage-- likely a resulting feature of her ability, and the telekinetic cloud surrounding her.

Considering Adah's ability is only able to rob one's system of 0.07 Volts of neuro-chemical electric energy per second, it may take Adah's ability several seconds, to minutes, to possibly even hours, to actually noticably reduce someone's reaction time.

People tend to become more agreeable to Adah's demands almost immediately after being under her influence, so long as they enter her field without excess aggression. Those who are charged up, take much longer to calm down, before reaction time reduction can even begin.

Adah's ability requires moist atmosphere to work effectively-- on particularly dry days, her ability is much weaker-- only being able to rob one's system of 0.03 Volts per second, and her range becomes halved.

Her use of her ability is obvious, as when she turns it on, the whites of her eyes glow with sick, white electricity. And as someone with a range of only 25 meters, she is at a distinct disadvantage in outdoor settings.

Sometime in the 60's, two men named Juan Komchén and Blackmoore 'Blackie' O'Donnagan meet and become friends. They are men shunned by society. Juan can't return to America, and Blackie can't return to Scotland.
They put their criminal talents to use in Brighton-- Brighton in it's prime-- and starting from nothing, but two bar stools, they resolve to become kings. Juan is capable muscle, often following Blackie's instructions to a T, because of how in tune they are. Blackie is quick-witted. He's the brains-- longterm planning isn't his strength, but he's gifted at improvisation.

20 years later, and things are looking good. Juan has done some time-- but Blackie's put enough together to buy the two a bar. They become the Co-owners of 'Brighton's Best: Slots & Shots' it was going to grow into something amazing. Were they going to go legit...? That might have been smart. Blackie has twins on the way--
and Juan just started seeing a girl from the Church. But the boys never claimed to be smart. For a time, they're merely dimebag pushers, they're still just grunts, operating in the shadows. But they're getting ready to make their move. The thing that draws them to each other... is a desire for more. They continue growing, seeking power. They will be kings.

1988. Adah Maria Komchén is born on Dia de los Muertos after a shotgun wedding held a week prior-- a priest threatened to kill Juan if he didn't make an honest woman out of his daughter, a pale, modest Briton named Mary. She didn't leave much of herself in Adah-- shes the spitting image of her father, Mary names her after the biblical Adah, Juan lies and says the middle name is in her honor, and mother Maria-- it isn't. She's baptized the day of her birth, and soon after attends the Dia de los Muertos proper. Blackie's twins play with the squishy baby, while the father's smoke cigars in their bar. Juan's mother is moving from Louisiana to help with the baby-- he's wanted to move her up here for years. Things are well.

1999. Adah sees Blackie more than her father. Her mother, raising her a good christian girl, obsesses over her whenever her grandmother can't step in to impart some wisdom of her own. Her mother, Mary-- while once a good mother, has developed a habit-- as Juan is in and out of prison, seeking to expand his and Blackie's influence on Brighton. Blackie tries to impart the lessons of youth he wishes he got. The value of patience, planning--
tries to impart the perseverance and strength her father has in her. Her grandmother reminds her the importance of a homecooked meal. After the year 2000, her mother is almost never around. She's raised by her grandmother,
Blackie, and the twins. She consistently is top of her class, despite her tumultuous home-life. Blackie adopts a girl to give himself another shot at parenting, seeing his Twins as less his sons than Adah is his daughter. This causes a rift between Blackie and his wife, but she ultimately relents, though her relationship with the girl is cold, Mariko is an expansion of their kingdom. Adah and Mariko, despite an age difference, become fast friends.

2003. Juan is killed in a fire-- the bar-- 'Brighton's Best'-- is burned down. Blackie's family were the targets-- and his wife, and the twins were the targets, and Juan dies trying to save them-- Mariko, however, survives, but is permanently injured. It was part of an attack on Blackie, following his take-over of the trafficking into Brighton. For a time-- he becomes paralyzed. Adah, not knowing how to express herself in anyway outside of her work, graduates early. After reading what her father was really working for in his will, she develops an admiration of his ability to work for those he loved, guilty she never appreciated his love while he was alive. A girl with little friends, and blind ambition, Adah takes up residence with Blackie and Mariko, helping him recover from his loss and figure out next steps. She begins selling weed, to support herself. Mariko disproves.

2008. The generous sum that her father left for her in his will, combined with Blackie's own savings. Is enough to open a strip club, 'Don Juan's'-- darkly in his honor. Blackie wanted Adah to be completely legit-- but she begins using the club to expand into harder narcotics, she's more in charge than him at this point.
Blackie, feeling some pride-- settles into an advisory role-- feeling the pride in her, he wishes he could feel in his own sons and now daughter. Mariko, growing from her adoptive father, attends boarding school.

2010. Blackie dies peacefully in his sleep one cold winter morning. Within months of his passing, Adah opens 'Blackie's.' And again turns to her studies to deal with her grief. After leaving competent managers in her businesses, she dedicated 5 years to travel and completing her post-secondary education. Mariko returns to Brighton for a time, eventually fading away again, from the place that had caused her so much pain. She decides to volunteer in South America. She and Adah date for a time, before she goes to South America. Considering how much like sisters they are, they both agree it's a huge mistake and they'll never repeat it again.

2015. Adah returns to Brighton. Settling into routines of therapy, deals, strippers and occasional vacations. She's resolved to follow her father's dream, on hr own terms. She dreams of power and influence. Mariko has been in and out of town, an accomplished nurse in her own right. They repeat the mistake again. Mariko contiues to leave and return, 'finding herself.' Adah continues to fail in love and succeed at business. She starts sampling products to increase her efficiency in the field.

2017. A storm one night leaves Adah (and Mariko-- though Adah doesn't know this) with... abilities. Like a light switch, she can make people calm and sluggish. She wordless begin utilizing this ability, ultimately uncontrollable 'who' it effects, and how 'strong'-- to it's highest effect, like a master strategist-- without comment.

Asexual/Aromantic

Too Ace for This

College Student/Animal Shelter Volunteer/Petsitter/Blogger

Izzy is a spindly, androgynous person who stands roughly 5'8" or 1.73 meters. Most of their height is in their legs, which are rather gangly and not so useful at the gym. They're a relatively petite person in terms of build, weighing in at 131 pounds/59.5 kilograms. They tend to walk with a bit of a hunch, and have a clumsy and awkward gait.

It's difficult, if not impossible to determine their birth sex, as they're usually wearing baggy hoodies and jeans, and they style their dark hair in a scruffy, above-the-chin manner. Their eyes are hazel and constantly alight with some manner of anticipation, preparing for a potentially threatening or unfamiliar event. They usually wear some kind of hat if they aren't hooded, and have a large collection of unisex earrings.

They have been diagnosed with high-functioning autism and severe anxiety, and receive disability payment. They struggle with social interaction, particularly speaking, photosensitivity, aversion to loud noises, and must maintain a schedule to feel secure. Their cat, Tommy, is registered as a therapy animal. They try to function regardless, and are hoping to become a successful author or veterinarian.

Izzy likes to spend most of their time on their own or with animals, as interaction with people is incredibly taxing for them. They tend to fidget and hum a lot, though they rarely speak. They use sign language with those who know it.

They react very negatively to breaches in their schedule, which they've cultivated for years. It brings them a sense of stability and security in their life which they absolutely need in order to function.

They are a nonbinary person and their birth sex is near-unidentifiable; indeed, they might even be intersex, though their parents raised them as a girl and their body primarily fits that of a female.

Izzy is an avid blogger, skilled in the verses of online conduct and content production. They make They are a rather paranoid person and constantly prepare for worst-case scenarios. One of their most popular sideblogs centers around this.

A naturally sensitive person, Izzy channels their caring emotions into their relationships with animals. Be they playing with their cat, volunteering at the animal shelter, or petsitting for neighbors, Izzy is quite the animal person. They are planning on becoming a veterinarian.

Izzy is a silent observer; while they do not necessarily interact with people, they can often be found sitting in a coffee shop or on a park bench, seemingly an inconspicuous book-reader, but actually taking in all manner of information from those around them and storing it for later.

A veritable ball of anxiety and goodwill, Izzy is, quite frankly, a mess. They're very much a kind, giving, if not timid person, always trying to overcome their fears to help others. They take a lot of online classes and work with animals in order to evade direct interactions with people, and rarely speak. Their voice is quiet, high, and somewhat husky. Izzy spends most of their free time curled up in their bed, browsing forums or reading books with their pet cat, Tommy. They actually run a semi-popular blog on deconstructive fiction, and enjoy textual interaction, so long as it doesn't become too personal.

Izzy tries their very best to keep everything neat, organized, and functional. They have a fixed schedule they adhere to and apply their skillset as effectively as possible to solve problems. They're regarded rather highly at work for their sheer productivity, though their people skills leave something to desire. They don't work very much, though, as they are easily overloaded with the sensations of the world, and could live off disability, though they are trying their best to become independent one day.

ISFJ

Izzy possesses a sort of short-term precognitive ability they have coined the “preflex.” As the name suggests, it allows them to react to events slightly before they occur, rather than after. This grants them superhuman reaction speed and generally boosts their insight.

Jumping out of the way of an incoming truck, dodging a punch before it's thrown, responding to an insult that hasn't been made yet--it's these sorts of scenarios in which the preflex will trigger. It's instantaneous, though with quick thinking Izzy can slightly modify their reaction from the initial instinctual one.

While their reflexes have improved, their physical abilities have not. There is only so much a normal human can do, even with prior knowledge of an incident. In addition, the preflex only extends up to ten seconds before an event occurs, most commonly only a few, and they do not have control over what they foresee.

Born and raised in Brighton. Has never left the city for longer than a day.

Izzy never really socialized with the other kids. Always silent, always fidgeting nervously. They were homeschooled until the tenth grade, and even then they rarely did anything except scribble quietly in the back corner. Their parents have five other children and were always busy with them throughout their childhood. Izzy, being the fourth born, suffered the fate of most quiet middle children in big families and were largely ignored by their parents and siblings alike. They were not diagnosed with autism until they were well into the eleventh grade as a result, and even with medical assistance and therapy continued to struggle with everyday living.

Izzy's family didn't value them very much. Noncomformity combined with an inability to make much money was not something they wanted to deal with, and they had Izzy leave the house soon after they graduated from high school. Izzy was never very close to their family, so this was more of an issue of loss of shelter rather than loss of kin or home.

They currently rent an apartment themselves with the help of disability payment. They attend college using the revenue their blog makes and the money they make from odd animal-related jobs.

The storm didn't change very much for Izzy. After seeing reports of superpowers emerging in Brighton all over local forums, they began to wonder if they were impacted by the event as well. Sure enough, they realized their cat-like reflexes had leveled to Bask-like reflexes--so that wasn't a trick of the anxiety! Currently, they use this ability to function better in regards to their animal care jobs, trying to keep the fact that they developed an ability a secret. They don't want the attention. In fact, the preflex has worsened their anxiety, to an extent, though at least it helps them catch typos before they happen!

Samir Chandra.

People usually just shorten his name to "Sam". He doesn't mind it.

23rd May, 1992

25

Straight

Single currently, and changing that isn't his main concern right now.

Freelance handyman, designer and metalworker. He helps out with designing products, fixing things in businesses and homes and other related. Freelance means he's effectively independent and self-employed, meaning he can do his own thing or briefly work for different companies for a fee. It's a pretty nice career that pays rather well.

Samir stands at around 6'1 in height, with shaggy black hair, and a largely unshaven lower face. He possesses dark, brown eyes, and pretty average teeth. He has one main notable scar on his body, a mark on his palm which he got through an accident with a blowtorch at age 14, as well as a small birthmark just below his left shoulder. Samir has no tattoos, although he's been thinking of maybe getting one for a while. He holds his body with a confident posture in his day-to-day actions, often going over the top with this. As for clothing, Samir cares a lot about making what he wears look nice. He will sacrifice comfort if something looks good. That isn't to say he's obsessed with fashion, it just comes packaged with a bit of arrogance. This means Samir will usually just wear what's trendy or what looks good, he doesn't really have a set style. This extends to shoes and clothing accessories too. Samir hates wearing thick coats and will refuse to wear them, even in extremely cold weather conditions.

-As mentioned before, Samir refuses to wear thick or heavy coats whatever the conditions.
-He cannot resist kicking a football when one rolls near him, or if he sees one lying about
-If he finds out someone he knows supports Tottenham Hotspurs FC he will briefly become hostile to them.
-Will often interrupt people while they are talking to put his own input into the conversation.

-Football
-Metalworking
-Playing GTA

-Football
-Arsenal F.C
-The brand Nike
-Alt-rock
-The rainforest, due to frequent trips to Southern Sri Lanka as a boy

-Criticism of himself or his attitude
-Tottenham Hotspur F.C
-Over-the-top arcades, like those on Brighton pier. He finds them flashy and annoying
-Ants
-Cold weather and snow

Droughts - His parents unintentionally freaked him out as a boy by telling him all about the droughts they endured while growing up in Northern Sri Lanka, leaving him worried of a major one happening in Brighton.

Mild thalassophobia - He has no idea where this comes from. He can be at the coast fine and does enjoy swimming, but the thought of being stuck out in the middle of the ocean terrifies him.

Samir could be considered a very hot-headed, arrogant individual. He's often very abrasive, and believes in most scenarios that he will do outperform the other people in the same scenario. In most situations, he would choose to put himself first or save his own skin before helping others. He's confident in social situations and extroverted, having little trouble with meeting or engaging with new people, and often heavily attempting to impress them with jokes or anecdotes that he finds hilarious. In competitive situations he is often quite aggressive and will go over the top with trying to prove himself as superior to those around him. Perhaps expected, he reacts angrily and negatively when called out or criticised for his actions or attitudes, always trying to disprove or deny the claim thrown his way. Perhaps a more positive trait that applies to Samir is the fact that he is determined - if he starts on a job, he will make his utmost effort to make sure it is finished to a good standard, he's not one for giving up easily. He often rushes into situations without taking a good grasp on them first, which obviously leads to negative repercussions a lot of the time.

Pyrogenesis
Samir has the ability to generate bursts of flame from his body, although his knowledge with this ability is limited to producing flame from his hands. He can currently create a fierce burst of flame that shoots across a long distance, or a gentle one which flickers in the air. He's been using the latter one to attempt to heat up food. He hasn't really found a use for the first one yet, but has been trying it out on the pebbled beaches when nobody else is around.

Samir can generate and shoot the fire, but he doesn't have the means to manipulate or control it effectively. This means that the more powerful bursts of flame are not targeted properly and spread out over a loose range, causing lots of collateral damage. The ability is, unfortunately, affected by anger and rage in a large way, meaning that heavy damage could be caused if he gets very angry, which, if you've read the personality section, you know has the possibility to occur. He isn't resistant to fire, which means that if a burst somehow reflects back onto him, he will be burnt.

Ethnically Sri Lankan, but born in North London.

Samir's parents were both born in poor villages in Northern Sri Lanka, they dry part of the island nation. The region experienced heavy drought, which was a constant threat on their lives. They were both the oldest child in their families and as such received an education in respectively nearby towns. It was at university in Colombo that they met, and eventually got married. They eventually moved to North London when Samir's mother became pregnant. Samir was the second born in the UK, with one more sibling to come later down the line.

Due to their rather poor upbringing, Samir's parents wanted to give their children a luxurious upbringing. This meant new expensive, up-to-date games and clothes, and lot's of affirmation, telling the kids that they are the best and encouraging them to be engaged in competitive activities, mainly sports. Samir took lot's of interest in football from an early age, and it's a hobby that's always stuck with him. His siblings also developed a similar love for sports, although different ones to football. He became wrapped up in Club supporter culture from an early age too, supporting the club Arsenal FC due to his geographical region. The family took frequent trips to Sri Lanka, which Samir always enjoyed, and it was also a thing to brag about too. Like many English primary school kids, he was convinced he would become a footballer when he grew up.

When Samir hit Secondary school and started to take D.T, most notably the Resistant Materials category of the subject, he found it was a subject that he enjoyed to a great extent. He found crafting and making things exhilarating, especially working with metals and furnaces.
He quickly joined up with all the D.T clubs he could. He never lost his love of football and his supporter passion, though. Samir was a popular, extroverted kid all throughout Secondary School, and cannot deny that he did pick on or bully some of the less popular, more introverted kids with his group of friends. For his GCSE options, he chose Resistant Materials, history and Business Studies. He received an A, B and B in those subjects respectively, and went on to receive an A-Level qualification in RM as well.

He chose not to go to Uni, and instead went straight to work, flicking between various different companies in North London which included locksmiths, construction jobs, product designs and lots of other things in between. He got a decent amount of money from working for these companies, but something was missing in his life. He disliked being cooped up and land-locked, and remembered how much he loved the coast from his frequent trips to Sri Lanka when he was younger. So, he set about trying to find a new coastal city in the UK to move to, and eventually settled on Brighton. He had friends that had moved down there, and they told him it was a nice place to live and work. So, he packed up his things and moved down to Brighton, resuming his freelance work.

He was just relaxing in his room, playing some GTA, when the storm was hitting the hotel, the noises of the game in his headphones drowning out the sound of the thunder and the rain. He went to bed after he took off his headphones to find the sound of the storm to be more quiet, obviously not realising what the storm was doing to him and to and the other people in the Lights. He woke up with his hands feeling hotter than usual, but that feeling quickly went back down, and he went about his day as usual. He didn't realise what he could do until he was in a warehouse getting annoyed at a metal box which wasn't opening, and shot a burst of flame from his hand. After the initial panic, he found he could generate fire from his body. He's been toning this ability the few days after he discovered it. He feels very positive about what he can do. He feels in a way that he's now superior to those without powers, and has a feeling that they will react negatively to them. He now feels that all those with powers are superior to those without, and that they are a gift of sorts.

Francesco Sapienti

Little F - A nickname mostly used by the guys in his family, or his few male friends.
Bambi - Some of his friends call him Bambi because of his doe eyes and small stature.
Sleeping beauty - His brother came up with this "loving" nickname, because he always snaps pictures of his older brother when he's sleeping. Francesco hates the nickname and despises getting his picture taken. He never takes any selfies either.

♂ 💕 ♂

Single

College student

Francesco looks young for his age, like he's in his late teens. He has dark brown wavy hair which he usually wears up out of his face. His eyes are light brown and slightly almond shaped. He has an oval shape face with a pointed nose, full lips, and thick long brows. Occasionally he keeps a bit of neatly trimmed facial hair. His body is slim and toned but without much visible muscle, also he's not the tallest guy in the world at only 5'4".

Francesco dresses according to the season, a bit obsessively one could argue. Not only does he change up his color scheme, opting for earthy, warm tones in the autumn and winter and lighter pastel colors in the spring and summer he changes his entire wardrobe on the exact date of solstices. Even if it's still cold on the Spring solstice he'll swap out his entire wardrobe. He has a strong fashion sense and favors a bohemian style. He knows what looks good on him and generally sticks to softer colors and shapes, flowy cardigans/shirts, scarves, skinny jeans and boots.

¿ Superstitious: Francesco is extremely superstitious and while some are quite ridiculous he won't go against them, even going as far as to warn other people, all with the best intentions obviously.

¿ Mirror mirror on the wall: He's always checking his reflection in any reflective surface, a shop window, his phone or an actual mirror. While the habit makes him seem very vain he actually isn't. He's just checking if everything is looking as it's supposed to, not to check out how hot he is.

¿ Neat freak: When he's down or feeling like crap he gets into a cleaning frenzy. He dusts, mops and thoroughly cleans every inch of the house.

✿ Gardening: Despite the limited space around his house, he has turned whatever space available into a certified greenhouse. Pots of herbs line the window sills, the little strip of soil in his front yard is covered in various plants. Because there is so little space he is very particular on what kind of plants are growing in his "garden". He selects them according to their usefulness in the kitchen or as medicine, rather than their beauty.

✍ Handwritten letters: He's recently started to exchange handwritten letters with a guy he knows from social media. It has turned into a small obsession, mainly the decorative part of writing the letters, not so much the actual content.

👗 Fashion: Perhaps a bit stereotypical but Francesco loves fashion, be it putting together his own outfits or that of friends and family.

✋ Fortune telling: A skill that was passed down in his family, much like the secret recipes of the Sapienti's famous pasta dishes it is rarely spoken about or used. Francesco likes to perfect his craft and almost exclusively uses a deck of traditional playing cards.

♋ Astrology: Not taken as seriously as his fortune telling but Francesco does like to match up signs. Arguments, disagreements and other misfortune in his relationships with other people are usually blamed on the fact that their signs didn't go well together.

🎂 Baking: Something he picked up in his early teens, which has turned into a small business for family and friends. It relaxes him, but it's not as fun as it used to be, having turned into a weekly activity.

♫ Piano playing: Francesco dabbles a bit on the piano, he has horrid memory and if he doesn't practice daily he'll usually forget the songs, even though it took him ages to learn them.

✔ Italian food
✔ Italian opera music
✔ Children
✔ Anything disney related
✔ Books on spirituality
✔ Good personal hygiene

✘ Violence
✘ Loud people
✘ Meat/fish
✘ Losing
✘ Cleaning up after cooking dinner

☠ Being left behind: Francesco is scared of being stuck, to be the only one who's never had a relationship, who will keep living in the same house until everyone moves out, you could call it a misplaced empty nest syndrome.

☠ Losing someone else he loves: Even though losing his mother was the most difficult situation he's ever had to face he's far from ready to lose anyone else. He'd thought his mother would have been around a lot longer than she did.

Helpful and naive are two words which sum up his character pretty well. If you need help with anything, anything at all you should go to him. Even if he can’t help you he'll find someone who will. He tries to see the good in everyone and the upside to every downside. He's an introvert, calm, shy, and somewhat withdrawn. A very sensitive young man who often feels misunderstood. He hates to argue, or see other people argue and is a peace keeper, crossing his own personal limits to ensure group harmony. Often lost in thought he can come across as dreamy, passive and a push over. Add to this the fact that he has a very strong drive to care for others, a maternal instinct he has no qualms about hiding and you have an eccentric guy.

Francesco wasn't slow to realize that he's not your typical guy's guy, but doesn't attempt to act differently. Instead he's accepted the fact that he is the way he is. He'll always be a bit awkward around guys and more at ease around girls. In social situations, he tends to speak only when spoken to and sticks with the people he’s comfortable around. He's always the last one to voice his opinion and often only when asked for. He's a late bloomer and while he has experience in some areas he has a complete lack of experience in others.

Most pheromones are airborne and scent based, strong winds make them pretty much useless. Covering your nose would be a great way to avoid the effects, once you realize they are being used against you, but it's usually too late by then.
There are other pheromones which are transferred by direct skin-to-skin contact, so keeping him at arms length will keep you safe.

Benevento, Italy.

Francesco grew up in a very close knit Italian immigrant family. He was born prematurely and spent three months in the hospital, luckily with no apparent ill effects on his health. This early event in his life resulted in an overprotective and sheltered upbringing. In school Francesco, didn't really fit in but then again what teen ever does? He made a couple of friends and wasn’t bullied much. All in all, he survived high school and passed his exams at 16.

When it was time to select, a follow up education he came up blank. With no idea, what to do Francesco simply followed the advice of his high school English teacher. He told him to go and do something with his language skills. He enrolled in a commercial type of education where he was taught business skills. Basically, he was destined for office work, the way his life was heading anyway. He didn't realize business was all wrong for him until he nearly had his degree. After his graduation, he made the switch to become a social worker.

Every single one of his friends and family told him not to do it. He was too nice, too soft, not cut out for the job. He enrolled despite of what they said, or in retrospect maybe he did it to prove them wrong. It was a fresh start, he finally felt like he was doing what he was supposed to be doing.

He made some lasting friends who he also liked outside of school, a big deal for him. Right after he finished his first year of college his mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. It was devastating news for the entire family but they never gave up hope for recovery. Sadly, it got worse each year, until he eventually dropped out of school to take care of her. After a near three-year struggle she passed away. To Francesco this entire period was a blur, he had been living his life on auto pilot. He took a gap year and went to work at a clothing store, trying to figure out his next steps, a plan b. The way he'd taken care of his mother made him consider becoming a nurse and after extensive (yes, this time around he gave it much more thought) research and soul searching he decided to enroll in what would hopefully be his last time in school.

With a lot of hard lessons learned and some life experience under his belt (he hates belts) he was more focused and less dreamy. He realized one day that even though he was grieving his life wasn't all that bad. He was starting school again, lived together with his dad and little brother under one roof, with family living either in the same street or a few blocks away. He had people who loved him, an important job to do, keep everything going. It was like he took his mom’s place and seeing how they were so much alike it went very smoothly. If that's a good thing remains to be seen.

He struggles with his newfound reality, way more than he lets on. After another fight with his dad he stayed over at his friend's flat in The Lights. When the storm hit, he was hiding under the covers afraid of the booming thunder. The next morning he still felt a little off, he figured he must still be spooked from a restless night. His friend however was uncharacteristically nice all of sudden.

Einin is a petite young woman at 5'3" and weighing 120lbs. Her figure has small curves yet is feminine and beautiful. Her form is draped by her soft, porcaline skin that is etched with several scars from mishaps (most can't even remember), some more faded than others. she has bright blue eyes and black midnight hair that drapes down to her mid back. Her fashion sense is casual and she tends to wear more loose clothing. Her voice is gentle with a heavy accent.

Zoning out/staring off into nothing, rambling/stuttering/messing up when speaking (aka losing the ability to speak English), humming when bored or walking

Drawing, sewing, and video games.

Doggos, warmth, Ireland, animated movies,
her hobbies (duh), her brother, rainy days, sleeping in late

horror films, spiders, blood, the dark, loud noises, losing her brother

spiders and blood

Einin is by all means a gentle and caring person, perhaps even too caring at times. She is the soft, warm, gentle, and emotional half that makes up the twins.
That being said, she is also blunt and honest to where it is faulty, meaning she wears her heart on her sleeve and tends to over share or be overly emotional/dramatic in times when it really isn't needed. She doesn't handle stress very well either, making her a huge crybaby when the world starts to crumble down around her, and she hates that about herself. Ironically, as sensative as she is, she is very dense to certain things regarding herself and others (like hardcore crushing, she's a heart breaker man slayah)

A major drive in her decision making is her anxiety and her over fixation on a problem or thing that is bugging her. Regardless if she is told to not worry about it, she will and she will make it known that she is upset by bringing up the subject more than a handful of times.

Overall, Einin is a rather cheerful and upbeat person that just wants to make people smile and feel better about themselves. She is a natural care giver without a single violent bone in her body.

With Einin's caring and gentle demeanor, it would only make sense that the ability she was given was the ability to heal others. She has the ability to heal any type of injury or cure/slow the progression of any type of illness on any part of the living body.

Currently, Einin has the ability to heal only small ailments/injuries and is not fully aware as how to use her power. She also has a limit of 3-4 every 12 hours before the she exhausts herself.

The use of said ability is a warm, fuzzy sensation that gives off a gentle light from the energy being generated makes the experience more pleasant for the one being healed.

Einin's ability comes with many risks and a hefty price. When healing another person at a rapid rate, one person is unable to exert the amount of energy required. Thus, Einin loans her energy in order to speed up this process to close wounds like small cuts. In turn, healing multiple injuries back to back will quickly lead to over exertion.

Einin can only cure what is curable. Therefore, she cannot cure terminal or diseases without a known cure such as various forms of cancer, STDs, mental disorders, failing organs, scars, comatose, etc; however, she can slow the progression of disease for a period of time. Another thing she cannot do is bring back the dead so once someone is gone, they're gone. Another thing she cannot fully heal is larger injuries like broken bones or deep cuts; she can only make them heal to the point where they are no longer severe.

Dublin, Ireland

The tale of the twins is that of an isolated one. Growing up the two didn't have many friends, however they were never lonely. Because from the moment they were born, the two had each other and were practically joined at the hip. They were fine with having only a few friends because at the end of the day, they still had each other. Their parents, like many parents do, had instantly fell head over heels and were overjoyed for their pair of newborns.

Einin and Liam were born in Dublin, Ireland on a chilly, rainy morning, but in that hospital it couldn't have been warmer or sunnier. The two would grow up in this bustling town and would quickly grow to be thankful that they were born fraternal instead of identical, as they felt like they would have been compared more if they had been.

Upon their teenage years and eventually entering their adult years, something had changed ever so slightly in Liam. He had always been the quiet, shy type but as he grew older he too had grown more distant, and protective of his other half. Einin never fully understood why this was, but decided it best to avoid asking about it after having tried a handful of times prior but to no avail. Instead, she chose to accept it and do her best to support her twin.

Soon after the storm had shook the UK coasts, Einin had discovered her powers when she had grabbed her brother's wrist after insisting he go to the hospital to have a seemingly deep cut get checked out by a doctor. Suddenly a light had flashed upon making contact with Liam, followed by the feeling of all her energy just being sucked out of her then making contact with the floor as she fainted from overexertion. When she had finally come to, she was shaken, confused, overwhelmed, and terrified by what had happened. After thinking everything over, though, she has finally come to terms and has learned to accept that this reality. However, she tries to avoid using her powers in fear that she will be seemed a freak and be taken away and dissected.

Liam Fergus Clark

shadow boy, edge lord, emo freak, freak, ice boy

11/28/97 (older by a full minute)

20

Hetero

Single (too freaking busy taking care of his little sister all time)

A college student. Works part-time at the pub

Liam is a tall, wirey man of 6'2" and 140 lbs. Upon first look, he is thin and doesn't seem to have much muscle underneath that baggy sweater, but don't be fooled; his frame may be slender but he actually has a slightly muscular, fit build; he is by no means a weakling and could easily hold his own in a scrap. Another thing that few people fail to recognize is that he's quite the looker. He has a chiseled jawline, pale blue eyes, and curly, raven black hair. Of course this is usually overlooked by his intense, cold gaze (aka his resting bitch face) and ever present scowl. He has a soft, yet cold voice with an accent that equally as heavy as his twin's.

taps his index finger on a flat surface when bored or irritated, taking off his shirt when extremely warm (he's gotta hot bod and he knows it. In public or not He has no shame. Some fuckin fan service for y'all), glaring at people unintentionally

widdling, swimming, videogames

making wood animal sculptures, the ocean, Ireland,
his sister, thunderstorms and rainy days, winter and chilly days, ice cream and other sweets, dogs

Hot muggy days, spicy food, getting rid of drunks at work, cleaning up after said drunks, arrogant punks that show up and shamelessly try to pick up chicks (they have no class)

Being all alone without his sister, heights

Liam is the cold, analytical, stoic twin. He always looks like he is pissed off or uninterested, which usually lands him into fights with young punks that don't know any better. If a girl with a rocking body were to throw herself onto him, he wouldn't even give her a second glance (tbh he probably would tho but nobody would be any the wiser).

He is polite, a gentleman, and like his sister, incredibly blunt and honest; however he will not hold anything back to the point where he will come off as cruel and he will not be gentle. Liam is witty, sassy, and oh so classy. Needless to say his personality lands him in more fights and less dates.

However, Liam has a side very few people see. He is very kind, gentle, compassionate, and VERY protective of his adorable little sister. He cares about her deeply and is very proud of her and just doesn't want to see her get hurt. Often when describing their relationship, Liam is described as Einin's guardian or knight in shining armor. He is the one that makes sure she is taking care of herself and the one that bails her out if she ever gets herself into trouble. This doesn't mean he doesn't allow her to fend for herself and fight her own battles, he is just the one that steps in should things get out of hand.

Like his sister, his personality is a dead give away of his powers. He has the ability to freeze things; water,
juice, the air (lower the temperature), even organic life like plants, animals, and humans. Just as his sister has the potential to give life, he has the potential to take life away. But as he has the ability to destroy, he has the ability to preserve and protect (with time and practice).

Liam's power is currently very unstable and he has no control over it. He cannot call upon it on a whim, it is triggered by his emotions, namely rage and fear (or when excited *wink wink*). However, sometimes it occurs at random and for no apparent reason. Also he can only freeze something he is in physical contact with, meaning it's kinda like freeze tag.

Einin and Liam were born in Dublin, Ireland on a chilly, rainy morning, but in that hospital it couldn't have been warmer or sunnier. The two would grow up in this bustling town and would quickly grow to be thankful that they were born fraternal instead of identical, as they felt like they would have been compared more if they had been. Liam had always adored his little sister, and from a young age had been repeatedly told that since he is the big brother, he needs to protect and take care of Einin because she is his responsibility. At first, this was something Liam didn't quite understand. But after that incident, he took it to heart and he was the shoulder for her to lean on, protect her from danger, and the one that would chase away those that would bully her.

Upon their teenage years and eventually entering their adult years, something had changed ever so slightly in Liam. He had always been the quiet, shy type but as he grew older he too had grown more distant, and protective of his other half. This was because of how he would see cocky teenage boys cat call and talk so crudely about the girls they found attractive, and he found it utterly distasteful. This especially became so when he had finally over heard those things be directed at Einin.

Liam was the first of the two to learn of their powers when one morning he was taking a shower, when suddenly, the water from the shower head came out as ice instead of water and a layer frost covered the walls the washroom. The epidemic confused and definitely left him with quite the shock, but he after a few failed attempts to recreate the event, he quickly shrugged it off and became aloof about it.
