Full Name: Koto Wolfram
Age: 23
Gender: ♂
Gift: Koto is a walking, talking cognitohazard, able to subtly induce acute paranoia, hallucinations, and increased heart rate within anyone who perceives him. This effect is persistent and needs to be suppressed deliberately on Koto's part, though it does wear off after a while. While he has a degree of control over these hallucinations, it will also happen without any input on his part.
Loyalty: Born and raised an Ashlander, Koto works as a mercenary wherever he can and a cutthroat any time the opportunity presents itself.
Description: People associated with Koto tend to recognize him by his red hood and nigh permanently affixed grin. His hair is relatively short but thoroughly unkempt at all times, and his eyes, combined with his ability, have a piercing or even glowing essence to them. It is quite common for people to mistakenly believe his eyes are red, due to his association with the color and his ability, but they are in fact a vibrant amber.
Personality: While somewhat antisocial, Koto often behaves friendly or even cheerful, matching his indelible grin, though he sometimes does this thing with his tongue that most would find unnerving. He tends to behave stoically, but does have a sense of humor. He is sedulous, honest, and has horrible sadistic tendencies he is fully willing to inflict on the innocent. -If it's the time and place for it, that is. Koto is altogether calm and rational, but with or without his gift, he'll often seem a little off.
Skills: Koto has adapted to his own gift quite well, and has figured out ways to increase its duration and effect simply by changing his appearance; Features that stand out such as his blood-red hood and his smile that just so happens to be a little too wide stick with people's memories longer, contributing to stronger paranoia and more vivid hallucinations. People that see his red figure against the bleak colors of the ashlands will be affected for a few minutes after the last time they see him, a passing glance close-up will last longer, maybe even hours if they think his smile is creepy, and prolonged contact without Koto turning off his ability can cause the effects to linger for days. The effect itself can be cured by Koto pretty quickly and easily. Koto is capable of seeing the hallucinations he induces and, to an extent, controlling them. By the same token, Koto is able to notice that his gift has affected someone when he perceives them.

As a mercenary specializing in pursuit, Koto is a pretty good tracker, accustomed to reading partially faded tracks covered in the constantly shifting sand and dust of the wastes. Being able to sense the effects of his gift on someone after noticing it lends itself to his tracking capability, as it allows him to know where affected people went, even without visual confirmation, within a certain radius.

Koto is also proficient with knives and guns, of which he is never without at least one of each on his person. More often than not, he has an assortment of them stowed nearby. Nothing too fancy, but a little bit of variety is there in case he needs or wants it. For that matter, Koto possesses extensive surgical knowledge not actually useful in a surgery. Rather, he is very familiar with what will ultimately be fatal and what can be patched up and healed.

He owns a buggy of sorts for traversing the wastelands and giving chase to his victims. He's a pretty good driver and can generally pull off a stunt of some sort from time to time, though he wouldn't be very good at following traffic laws.
Weaknesses: Koto's hallucinations generally take the form of directionless paranoia if he is not directing them. Movement or strange shapes in the corner of their eye. The feeling of being watched, or perhaps followed. How people see this is ultimately up to their perception, but unless they happened to be creeped out by Koto, they'll generally suffer no issue initiating a surprise attack. Koto also can't use his ability solely as a tracking mechanism; he is only able to detect the presence of his gift's effects or remove it, not suppress it. This means that, if you know what Koto's ability is, you can tell when you're being followed by him. (...Unless it's all in your head, I guess) In terms of when he manipulates someone's perception directly, Koto doesn't fare well against opponents with high continuous stamina or those that can travel faster than he can over a long distance. A lack of defining landscape (a wide open area) is very hard for Koto to work with, as it means that Koto has to rely solely on mirages. While mirages are effective at a distance and with actual heat to cause mirages, they aren't very convincing when too close-up or in a cold environment... Unless it's extremely dark. A lack of instincts or common sense would be a decent countermeasure to Koto's ability. (Assuming that they aren't wearing themselves out at the same time)
Brief History: Koto grew up in the ashlands and lost one of his parents at a relatively young age. How he grew up to be the person he is pretty much starts and ends with that.
Theme: Dark Road

Full Name: Alya Elcove

Nicknames/Aliases: The Lighting Princess

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Gift: Electromaster: Alya can create and manipulate lightning and though it is powerful, it is hard for her to control the amount of power she places in each shot, though most of the time, the power in her shots is enough to be lethal to most people.

Loyalty: Erubescan Knight

Description: Alya is much shorter than her brother, standing at 5'7" tall, with brown eyes and auburn colored hair. Though she wears her armor when on the job, nearly every every occasion she gets she wears either a simple black T-shirt or a gray tank top with a pair of cargo pants.

Personality: Alya is every bit like her late father, lively, friendly to nearly any one other person and stubborn to a fault! However, when it comes to proving her skill, she shows her more competitive side, always seeking to outdo her opponent in whatever competition there is.


Skills:
- As expected of an Erubescan Knight, Alya has been trained in most forms of combat, showing much skill in both ranged and close quarters combat.
- Alya, as part of her training, has shown a great amount of agility, much more than many of her current peers.


Weaknesses:
- Alya is stubborn, so very much more than her father was, so if she has something in mind, it is highly unlikely that she will change it's mind about it very soon.
- Despite her skills as a knight, she has a rather weak constitution, making her more prone to diseases and making her a fragile person in general.


Brief History:
Alya was born second in the Elcove family and though she showed enough skill in combat to become a Knight like her father, she was always overshadowed by her more, cold, calculated and skilled brother, however she prided herself in something that her brother could never take from her, her social skills and though she would never gain a prize from it she was happy nonetheless... until he took that from her as well.

In order to be fully welcome into society, her brother, Darrien, had taken to acting like a regular person, he had seen her talk to her friends, he had heard how knights were supposed to act, combined the two into a mask and wore that mask ever since, a mask that made him gain a certain degree of fame within Erubesco as a model knight and it earned him a title as well, The Crimson Knight and so he outdid her... yet again, though she understood why he did it, she could help but despise him for a few moments, before remembering the words that her father had imparted on them before he passed away.

"You two have your differences and you must not like the other, however, you two are a family and family has bonds that can never be broken."

And with that, she swallowed her pride and smiled towards her brother for once, though it would be difficult to

Other:

Railgun: Something that has become something of a trademark move, Alya can use her power to launch a metal object(usually a bullet) at around nearly twice the speed of sound by forming parallel currents on both sides of her arm using her electricity

Other:

- Dragon's Breath: Not really a special move, but just a way for her to show off her power. Instead of shooting flames from her hands like she usually does, she fires the flames from her mouth much like the mythical dragons would.
- Plasma Cutters: By increasing the temperature around her hands and feet to the point where the oxygen around it turns to plasma, she is able to turn usual punches and kicks into very dangerous attacks.
- Heatstroke: Not really a move per se, but she can heat the air in a 15 foot raidus to unbearable degrees for other people to the point it would cause people heatsroke, hence why she called this move like this, however, she rarely uses her powers like this because they are not that strong in a combat situation
