While not beautiful, chad isn't the ugliest guy in the township. He has on several occasions complimented himself on his looks, but only has done so sarcastically. He really views himself as average, maybe a little above average if he was feeling generous. Still, he never had any female admirers, much to his dismay. Standing at a solid 6 feet and weighing 180 pounds, Chad Watts has dark hair and brown eyes. His hair is usually kept on the shorter-to medium length end, and he styles it according to the situation he plans to be in - pictured above is his usual style, but he will attempt to make it appear more appropriate or get it cut for formal events.

Chad has never gotten a tattoo in his life, and other than a scar on his leg gained from tripping while running when he was 8 and the sigil on his shoulder, he has no other differentiating marks on his body. His skin is paler than normal, but not to the point where he stands out. His voice is a baritone, and his speaking style is very animated when he is interested in what he is talking about. When nervous or in a stressful situation, he will talk faster, to the point where it can be hard to understand him.

For clothing styles, he normally dresses to the situation - He will wear a random t-shirt and jeans to a casual situation, and will wear progressively more expensive and better looking clothes as the formality of the situation rises. Despite this, however, he prefers to dress above what most others are wearing - and his usual attire for when he simply has to go to classes and has nothing else to do, he wears his suit jacket along with a white collared shirt, a white undershirt, and grey suit pants.

Born in the township of Farmer Hill, Chad was the child of a British mother and a father who left them almost immediately. His mother, while staying with her son for most of his life, is sent on various business trips - she is a high ranking employee of a supermarket chain in the country, and lived in Farmer Hill due to it being a major source of produce in the area. An only child his entire life, Chad spent most of his time trying to get the attention he craved from his mother - but due to her stressful work environment, she was usually resting whenever she wasn't working. Due to his lack of friendships while younger, he slowly, yet surely, grew more and more needy - always pestering his mother for attention. By the age of eight, however, he had learned far more effective mode of gaining the adoration of others - he began to tell jokes. Seeing as he was still a child, most of his humor was poor, but he quickly facilitated his growth in the world of comedy by watching comedians and testing out any jokes he created on others. By 10, he was already infatuated with the comedy world, and was thought of as a jokester to his class.

While this was initially enough, Chad quickly began to run dry - he rapidly ran out of material, and making more funny jokes was far more effort and work than the alternative. Chad soon started acting out - pulling pranks on other people as a way to get attention, in any form. It seemed an ingenious idea at the time - while actual jokes took time and serious thought and effort to craft, violence and humiliation were an incredibly good form of consistent, slapstick humor. Eventually, however, Chad severely lessened the severity of these outbursts and pranks - When he was taken to juvie for three days and nearly expelled from middle school for greasing the stairs at his school. A girl fell down, resulting in a serious spinal injury that caused her to be held in the hospital for a few months. The only reason charges weren't pressed were because his mother worked with the girl's father, and were close because of that. The girl eventually forgave Chad, and both are close friends now, but he has made sure that any prank he does is harmless and benign. While this period only lasted a short time span (until he was 14), this spree of pranks cemented his reputation as a menace, and ruined a lot of the credibility he had.

In high school, while he hung out with many students at school, very few of them cared for Chad. His circle of true friends was sparse, mostly a group of older boys who played table top games with him. Other children simply kept him around since he was funny, and lightened the mood - but he never hung out with anyone after school was out. By this point, Chad only interacted with his mother when helping her with chores - but even that was cut short as she left for a business trip for the next year, the longest she had been away by this point. Over the course of this year, nothing happened of interest - days passed at a snail's pace, and while Chad quickly realized that he was beginning to hate the endless dredge his life had become, he realized that he was unable to show that he was upset - doing so would simply make people stop caring. Or worse, pity him. He hated people feeling sorry for him - whether it was for not having a father, a mother who was rarely in the house, or simply lacking any real person to call a true friend.

In his junior year, eight months after his mother had come back from her trip, Chad was invited to his first party. The party itself was simple - a small group of kids, all of whom Chad had known for years. Nothing about the night was spectacular - just a bunch of horny high school kids soaking in their hormones and a small amount of smuggled liquor. One of the girls got particularly greedy with the alcohol - downing bottles of some brand of beer, the exact type impossible to find due to the scratched off label. Chad didn't even intend for it to happen, but the next thing he knew, he was in a room alone with her - She was apparently a lightweight. The scent of her breath and the stress of the situation slowly becoming too much to handle, Chad began looking for a way out of the situation. It was no use - she clumsily attempted to take off his jeans. Quickly, Chad tried to calm his beating heart, but the anxiety and the few drinks he himself had were far too much.

He vomited all over her.

She groggily mumbled a few words of disgust before passing out herself. Quickly, Chad tore a post-it note and a pen from the night stand, before writing a message.

"You vomited on yourself and passed out so I left - I won't tell anybody, so don't worry."

Immediately, Chad left the party - a few people attempting to high five him on the way out. The entier night, he was shaking in fear. What if she woke up and remembered what really happened? What if everybody in the school found out? These thought passed around in his mind for the next few weeks - and every day he went to school, he was met with no ridicule. On the third week, he finally felt like he was in the clear. This sense of relief was quickly crushed however.

The girl was found out the next day - unaware of anything that had transpired the previous night. She was discovered by several of the boys at the party who, upon discovering the note, took photos of her and used said photos as blackmail. They proceeded to do despicable things to her - forcing her to steal for them, commit meager crimes, and record her saying incredibly embarrassing things. This escalated over the last week, climaxing with her being raped by the leader of the boys - while no one knows who it was, rumors suggest it was the son of the local sheriff.

She killed herself the next day.

The high school talked about the event briefly, and the event was even marked with some newscasters arriving to comment on it. Chad spent most of the day in the bathroom, hiding due to the constant vomit and tears he released. It was the most terrified and repulsed he felt in his entire life - it was his fault that she got blackmailed, so in essence, he killed her. Or at least, that's how Chad looked at it. Due to his cowardice, an innocent girl died.

As time passed, Chad slowly began to learn to deal with the pain of the death - the guilt never went away, but he successfully managed to focus on other things. He was eventually accepted into Grand Ridge Academy, to the delight of his mother, and did his best to not cause too much of a fuss. He was less interested in the negative attention he used to seek out, now only craving the positive encouragement of his peers. The girl he had once injured had left the small town, the pair only communicating via text and social media. Chad's mother, now on the board of directors, informed him that as long as he graduated, she was more than willing to introduce him to some of the other directors - possible even give him a job.

Chad, however, was more focused on enhancing his career as a comedian. He pursued a major in Economics to satisfy his mother, but his dream was to leave for a large city and become famous the world over! But for now, he simply wanted to take a break - Classes had been making his workload truly massive. Somewhat uncharacteristically, he decided that he needed some fresh air - this motive driving him to sign up for the camping trip that the academy was hosting.

SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ Located on the back of his left shoulder, Chad's sigil takes the appearance of a simplified key. The bow of the key, however, is replaced with a human eye (or, at least it looks like one).

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Possession: Allows temporary control over another person's body.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ While looking at another person, Chad is capable of forcing his mind onto someone else - allowing him to control their body as if it was his own. While doing this, the original person's mind is essentially unconscious, unaware that the possession is even taking place. He could do anything he wishes, as long as it is physically possible for the person's body (He can't walk if he possessed a man in a wheelchair). This ability can affect anyone within line of sight, and his Sigil glows a faint green while using the ability - this glowing only shows through thin material, however, and does not function as an adequate light source. Upon the time limit being reached, or Chad choosing to relinquish control, the original person is "woken up." They are unaware that the possession has even occurred, and are bewildered if they are in another location or doing something else. Chad is only capable of controlling someone for ten seconds at a time.

This Abstraction reflects Chad's inconsistent personality and own self - he always attempts to change himself in order to appear more like the person he is speaking with, in order to gain their attention and approval. This attention seeking also caused some of his only consistent character traits - his penchant for jokes and trickery, and his willingness to do nearly anything in order to gain other people's approval.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ When on the mountain, the duration of the possession increases massively - Up to a full minute against normal opponents. Additionally, direct line of sight is no longer needed - as long as they are within 50 feet, and Chad is aware of their general presence, he can possess them.

AURA SENSING ⫻ Chad has sensing unlike most others - while he is unable to detect individuals or objects, he is capable of seeing pathways. Activating when he is stressed or nervous, he is capable of finding the pathway out of a situation, manifested as a thin green line from himself to the exit.

LIMITS ⫻ (DO NOT FILL THIS OUT, I WILL PROVIDE IT FOR YOU)

WEAKNESSES ⫻ (DO NOT FILL THIS OUT, I WILL PROVIDE IT FOR YOU)

Chad refuses to drink any kind of alcohol, the mere sight making him nauseous.

Let me know if there is anything I should change in order to make the character fit better.

Karma has shoulder length black hair, she is slightly above average in hight and is physically fit with a toned body thanks to spending a few hours a day working out..

SIGIL & LOCATION A microphone on her left collar bone.

ABSTRACTION Sound manipulation Karma can manipulat and enhance sound waves and vibrations and alter the frequently and pich of any sound.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION Karma can alter sound waves anyway she wants changing things like frequently and pich to alter the way they sound or she can change the direction there headed depending on how this is used it can be effective for both defence and offenseer.

with this ability Karma can take the sound of her music or any noise around her amplify and intensify it suppress or she can a create sonic boom or powerful sound waves or she could silence the sound of an explosion she can also mimic sound distort or warp sound and create echos however she cannot create sound out of thin air only manipulate existing sound.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN In the presence of the mountain Karmas abilities become more powerful and easier to control she gains the ability to create sound out of thin air making it possible to create multiple sound wave and manipulate them all simultaneously with ease.

AURA SENSING Due to her connection to sound Karma can see and sense sound waves they appear as neon lights she can see them even if they are faint although the loader and more intense the brighter they appear.

LIMITS Karma is unable to create sound, and thus is forced to rely on external sound - at least while she is away from the mountain. Screaming and other such things would be hell on her vocal cords. In addition, she is unable to manipulate sound beyond ten feet of herself, and has difficulty altering soundwaves that are aren't away from her and is unable to alter more focused sund waves. Finally, her sound manipulation has a strange effect on her - excessive usage of it renders sound "dead" around her. Which means that a field will surround her that stops sound from traveling outwards, or inwards, effectively rendering her mute/deaf. Karma can still hear her own sounds, or sounds uncomfortably close to herself, but she cannot hear anything else. She is also still able to see sound waves using her aura reading.

WEAKNESSES Karma isn't completely immune to her own ability. While she may never go deaf, that doesn't mean she isn't immune to smaller things. To start off, loud sounds still may cause her pain - or at the very least some discomfort. So that makes it difficult in some situations. On a lower level, all the constant ultra and super-sonic frequencies she exposes herself to renders her very ill very quickly if she isn't careful. She'll find herself nauseous and vomiting after abusing her abstraction.

Anything else? Themesong? Random notes? Foreshadowing???

Min-Jun, who often just goes by Min to simplify things, is on of those people who is unfairly attractive without trying. He got the best traits out of both of his parents – and it’s wasted a bit, because he only cares about his academic ability. Min isn’t particularly tall but he grew an inch taller than his father so he was never going to reach much further. His build is the closest thing to average – he isn’t incredibly skinny but a high metabolism keeps any weight in check. If he did any frequent exercise he’d probably have a good build.

Min’s face is well defined, with noticeable cheekbones and hard edges. His eyes curve inwards slightly, a brown that’s practically black. They’re a bit on the small side but go well with his other features. His skin tone is a soft yellowish-gold. His hair is practically black, with a slightly brownish sheen to it. He keeps it short and neat with just a bit of a fringe. Something easy to manage.

Min pulls of simple clothing too well, looking good even if he’s just wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Often he’ll be found in just that – it’s more comfortable to work in. If he’s actually meeting people he’ll probably upgrade to a shirt and darker trousers. He owns his fair share of suits thanks to his parents which he saves for the special occasions. More practical and warm clothing is maybe the one thing he is lacking. Min tends to dress in monotone black, white and grey with a little bit of blue thrown in.

Min-Jun had a relatively normal upbringing. When he was five his cousin, Tuyen, moved in with them due to her father’s disappearance. Min was quick to get on with her – always taught that family was important by his parents. And without any other siblings she quickly became like a little sister to him.

Min always had the wait of his parent’s expectations on him. His grandparents had came over to start a simple business, just buying in goods you couldn’t get in Farmer Hill and selling them there. From that starting point it had expanded until his father took over. And Min would take over from him. His parents always pushed him to be the best, teaching him to constantly work hard. This combined with his natural intelligence meant that he excelled and easily gained his parent’s pride.

He knew that his cousin didn’t get the same support he did, so tried to help her a little himself. He’d always encourage her to do the things she loved after seeing her struggle with academics – he’d always believed it was best to do something you were good at. He was the one who made sure she aspired to do writing and made his parents allow her to drop science subjects in high school. If anything he was proud of her like any older brother would be.

Min got into college as expected of him, studying Economics and Mathematics. He hasn’t socialised very often, concentrating on working, but with his cousin now around he’s likely to be dragged out a little bit more.

Tuyen is a bit on the shorter side, but not that small in the grand scheme of things. Her mother was smaller. She has a quite stocky build – a little bit wider than most her height. Along with this she is quite flat. Not enough so that she’d be mistaken for a guy, but there isn’t really that much there. She has a little bit of weight to her too which mostly goes to her legs. There isn’t much but it’s enough that she has to watch what she eats.

Tuyen’s hair is a dark brown-black, more brown in warmer lights. It falls down just past her shoulders and keeps relatively straight without much work. It frames a round face with a relatively soft nose and undefined lips. Her eyes are a very dark brown and a little bit bigger than normal. Her skin is golden-brown, inherited from her Vietnamese father – as many of her features are. She has very little of her mother in her aside from her hair.

Because she lacks in more feminine curves Tuyen tends to dress in nice tops and skirts, having a wide variety of combinations. She doesn’t often wear just a dress, finding it a bit stuffy, but is rarely found in something that isn’t a skirt. She does wear practical clothes when out and about around nature. She tends to prefer shades of purple, blue and pink though she isn’t very fussy when it comes to colours.

Martin is a boy with an almost bird-boned figure and a frail, slight look to him. He had been small since childhood, always a step behind his peers in size and frame, he never seemed to have quite caught up. Short and as thin as a reed, he has bony shoulders and he looks as if a stray breeze could blow him aside. There seems to be little to no muscle throughout his entire body and he doesn't seem ashamed of it. His small build makes it hard for him to be intimidating and was often the reason that he was pushed around in highschool. While being unintimidating, it also makes him appear much younger than he is and far more fragile.

His skin is almost sickly pale and there is prominent bruising beneath his eyes. He's blessed with a very good jawline, his face is all angles with deep cheekbones. A sharp cupids bow and a full lower lip characterize a mouth that can usually be found pushed slightly to the side in thought. A broad forehead and thick dark eyebrows lead to a pair of stormy blue eyes that are shrouded in dark eyelashes. A pale scar cuts through his left eyebrow, arching towards his hairline and disappearing into his hair.

The clothing that he wears can be considered a little eccentric, perhaps almost like a goth who's phase never quite ended. He can be found in long black trenchcoats with high collars, black jeans and black steel-toed boots. When he's not in his signature trenchcoat, he will usually opt for black silk button up shirts, black turtleneck sweaters or black t-shirts printed with band logos on them. His nails are almost always painted a uniform black.

Born a native to Farmer Hill, Martin Cromwell lived with a divorced pair of parents, his father lived about two hours away. Alice Cromwell was a woman who was very busy in trying to maintain their household, often away long hours at a demanding job. This left Martin with a babysitter for most of his childhood, a kind young woman who he just called Maddie. Maddie was fantastic at her job and treated him in the way that his mother didn't have time too, she would take him places and buy him things and comb his hair out of his face. At times it was hard to remember that she was just hired help and he thought of her like a family member. When his mother would be cold and absent, Maddie was always warm and receptive. She would listen to him and she would care for him, he begin to care more for her than he cared for his own mother.

Alice was not an inherently bad woman, though she was extremely stressed. She was wrapped into the throes of work and she never had the time to do the little things that her son was so desperately requiring. By the age of ten, it became clear to the young man that his household was a little bit off. This was the start of an attention streak for young Martin. He became obsessed with impressing his distant mother, despite Maddie's advice to not let it get to him. He started doing anything that he could to get her approval, he found that her approval was intangible and untouchable.

School was rough on the young man, he was often at the bottom of the pecking order. He was the type of kid that either faded into the background or was targeted by larger kids, this led to him cowering back. It wasn't easy to avoid the shoves and the comments, every passing day became a struggle. He would try to avoid school to avoid the harsh words that burned into his skin, nothing he said or did would make them stop. He became obsessed with trying to blend completely in, if his own mother could forget his existence then so could these kids.

It seemed to work after some time, he became a ghost of a student. He didn't have many friends but he didn't have many enemies either. It was around the age of thirteen that his father bought him an electric guitar and an amplifier. At first, he didn't know why his father had given him the instrument and it collected dust for months. He finally picked it up and spent weeks trying to learn how to play it, memorizing cords and getting used to the feeling of it pressing into his palms. It became his obsession, he couldn't focus on anything else as long as this instrument had his attention.

He played for Maddie, learning songs that she liked and listening to her "oo" and "ahh" at the sounds of his fingers picking away at the strings. He played almost constantly, drowning the world out in song. It helped him get through school, gave him something to do that was easier and more interesting than socializing with people who didn't really care if he existed or not. He held no grudge for his mother or even for the school that paid him no mind, he just cared about that guitar and the beautiful sound that he could make with it. With some help from his father, he ended up attending Grand Ridge Academy.

When he found that Grand Ridge was hosting a camping trip, he was eager to sign up. A change in scenery seemed like just the thing to inspire him.

SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ A curling black shadow-like sigil on the back of his neck.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Shadow Generation: Generation and projection of shadows and darkness which absorb or nullifies light in the area.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ This ability doesn't have many benefits or down sides. He can project formless shadows, making them shift about and flit around. He can also absorb the light in a given area, sending it into complete darkness but he can't hold it like that for very long.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ His ability to hold darkness into place becomes stronger, making it so he can hold it there for much longer. He can move with this, holding the darkness wherever he may go. His shadow manipulation becomes more clear, holding stable shapes rather than formless masses.

AURA SENSING ⫻ True to his shadow nature, he can sense the auras of people or animals that are hiding, this extends to a ten mile radius.
