The most immediately noticeable thing about Paige is that when standing, she leans on a crutch held under her right arm, which she leans on heavily. The reason that she needs this is that her right leg has a prosthetic above the knee. However, this is almost impossible to find out without asking; Paige hates her disability and wears trousers long enough to hide it as often as possible. Even so, she cannot hide the effect it has on her gait or her speed, and is utterly resentful of this fact.

Paige wears a lot of white. She naturally has pale skin and eyes, so she decided to go all-in on that aesthetic, dying her naturally brown hair to a silver-grey colour. Her clothes are generally simple but tasteful, as is the little makeup she wears. While she always does her best to hide her prosthetic with what she wears, Paige is significantly more comfortable with her upper body, and prefers a t-shirt underneath an open jacket.

Paige is not an especially talkative person. This is not born out of a desire to be unpleasant, just a dislike of conversation. Paige is not impolite, but she does not tend to initiate conversations or make any effort to perpetuate them. Paige's voice does have a slight German accent, but this is picked up from her mother as she herself never lived in Germany.

In terms of build, Paige is quite thin. As hard as she tries, she doesn't get much exercise, but doesn't eat enough for that to affect her weight. She stands at a fairly medium height, but can seem a little shorter than this as a result of her gait. She has no piercings or other scars, and her only tattoo is a simple, black treble clef symbol on her collarbone, offset slightly to her left.

Paige is the daughter of Laura and Michael Davis. Her mother grew up in Germany, but now lives in America. She met Paige's father while attending Harvard, and several years later they married. It was in Cambridge that Paige was born and grew up.

Paige had a fairly normal early childhood. She was active, had some musical talent, and while no erudite, was getting good grades at school. Her family never had to worry about money; her parents' degrees made sure of that. Everything was going absolutely fine.

When Paige was 14, she was made a victim of collateral damage as a pair of heroin addicts robbed a store to fund their addiction. A stray bullet hit her just above her right knee. By the time she recieved medical intention, the injury was badly infected, and an amputation was the only solution.

Paige's wonderfully normal start to life fell apart after that. She suffered from depression for some time. She was the victim of bullying. Her grades dropped and she couldn't do sport. She hated what had happened to her, but there was no way to fix it.

Paige dealt with her issues the way she's learned is best: she clenched her teeth and just put up with it as best she could. Of course, she never returned to her sports, but eventually, her grades came back up. She spent her new spare time on learning to play the violin, and, after some time, she also took up archery as a hobby. Eventually, she decided to leave home, move somewhere quieter. Her parents couldn't let their child miss out on higher education, and it couldn't be just any university either. Eventually, a compromise was reached: Grand Ridge Academy wasn't Ivy League, but it was good.

Paige has only recently arrived in Farmer Hill, but so far. she's preferred it to her home city.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Mental Combat, a strange Abstraction which allows Paige to battle opponents on a psychic level, each combatant draining the other's energy and eventually knocking them out.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ When Paige wishes to engage someone in mental combat, she focuses on them for a moment. Then, it is simply a battle of wills. Both combatants drain each other's energy through sheer desire for victory. Their focus will need to be absolutely perfect, so they can do very little physically during the battle, unless they are willing to risk losing. Only the combatant that is winning can choose to end the battle; the losing combatant must either turn the tide or accept the consequences. Nearby people can also bolster a side of their choice in a battle that is already taking place. In doing so, they can add their own willpower to the side they fight on. Alternatively, they might be antagonistic to both and fight as a third party, putting a large strain on all three. When a combatant is defeated, they are left unconscious and exhausted but otherwise unharmed. Normal people can't see the battle taking place, but Awakened, and anything else that might be able to sense auras, can see a strange light show of colourful energies moving between the combatants.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ Fighting mentally is much easier for Paige when close to Mount Ever Reaching. She seems to have a much larger reserve of energy, and that pool of energy feels it is being depleted more slowly while her oppoents' are more quickly. Close to the mountain, Paige could defeat two or maybe even three normal humans at once, though Awakened would still pose a significant threat.

AURA SENSING ⫻ Within thirty meters, Paige is able to detect large concentrations of effort. Whether for purposes personal or altruistic, the sacrifice of comfort to achieve a goal draws her attention.

LIMITS ⫻ The mental battlegrounds is very exhausting for Paige. The amount of combatants and the scope of the battlefield plays a part in how stressful the battle is. If the fight takes too long, Paige may pass out from exhaustion. Other than that, there's no real limit to how many people she can pull into mental combat - in addition, the Awakened are not immune to any of the effects of her abstraction.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ Once mental combat begins, both parties are rendered stationary (or close to it as possible) with little awareness of the outside world. Basically, this means that Paige and her opponent are sitting ducks. The effects of losing is a bit harsher on Paige than anyone else as it takes a toll on her body and her mind. Afterwards, Paige will be tired, and suffering from a very sharp headache.

At first glance, Jasmine could be seen as simply slim, but she's actually quite athletic and toned. Lessons in kickboxing have kept her fit, and while she's certainly no body-builder and no where close to that, she is by all means fairly solid. This isn't something she tends to accentuate though, as unless she's forgoing sleeves in her current outfit you'd be hard-pressed to tell she's ever worked out in her life. You're more likely to notice everything else that's going on with her look.

For starters, she puts a lot of time into her hair. Her naturally brunette hair has blond highlights that mesh in well with the present color, and while her hair is naturally curly, it takes a lot of care to keep it healthy and frizz-free. Yet she also isn't a stranger to wearing beanies, whether or not she's having a bad hair day (which is almost never if she can help it). Rarely she can be seen wearing thin-framed glasses, but usually her green eyes are unobscured. Her make-up is also surprisingly light, opting only to deal with eye-shadow, her eye lashes, and lipstick. She doesn't use foundation or anything of the sort, as she doesn't believe her somewhat dark complexion needs much of anything done do it.

The rest of her fashion is varied, depending on the weather and the event she's going to, but overall she dresses rather casually, if not fashionably. Jackets scarves and jeans are just as likely to be worn as shorts and T-shirts, but either way she usually pulls the look off. She doesn't really wear any jewelry though, and there aren't any tattoos to be found. Her knuckles are a bit scarred from fighting, but that's about it. Her overall demeanor appears to be of someone who's approachable and easy to get along with, yet she also comes off as too serious at times.

Jasmine was adopted into the Dwyer family when she was two years old. Her birth mother had been good friends with her adoptive mother, and so when her birth mother died of illness, her adoptive mother took action and promised to raise Jasmine within her own family in order to keep her out of the orphanage system. With no biological father in the picture and no immediate family members who lived in the area, the adoptive process was resolved rather quickly, and soon Jasmine became a part of the Dwyer family. The Dwyers had no children of their own at the time, so for awhile she was an only child.

A dark-skinned child with two light-skinned parents of course was enough to grab attention from other people whenever they were in public, and definitely from other students during her school years. Her parents were never sure how to address it, as they wanted to make Jasmine feel that there wasn't an issue at all and that her adoption should be considered normal, but at the same time they knew she could feel out of place. In the end, all her parents could do was let her know that their race differences didn't matter to them, and that no matter what they would love her as their daughter regardless of whatever others thought.

This continued on when Grant entered the picture, who was born when Jasmine was three years old. As they grew up, they bickered and fought and teased like siblings do, and were basically like any other brother and sister. The race difference never seemed like an actual difference to him, and whenever people would ask him about it he thought those people were weird, as it seemed perfectly normal to him. It was something Jasmine was always secretly grateful for, as even though the issue was something she'd move on from as she got older, deep down it was still something she was insecure about, and her brother helped ease that insecurity.

So she was rightfully devastated when she heard that Grant had disappeared while she'd been off at college, having been accepted at Grand Ridge once she was eligible to apply.. She returned home in a hurry, guilt wracking her for leaving despite knowing there likely wouldn't have been anything she could've done if she'd stayed home. She was beyond relieved when he was eventually found a month later, yet it still felt like hollow relief, as upon his recovery it was learned that the traumatization he'd gone through had left him mute. There was no way she was returning to college after that, she knew she had to stay, and so she made a personal vow that she would never let harm come to him ever again if she could help it.

She dropped everything to become fully involved with his life and become someone he could rely on. They learned sign language together in order to communicate better, and though Grant managed to pick it up faster Jasmine still kept up well enough to be able to talk with him. She picked up a job as a waitress at a local restaurant so that she could make at least a minor amount of income to help out at home. And, unbeknownst to Grant, she picked up nightly kickboxing lessons with a focus in Muai Thai, as she believed without a shadow of a doubt that he'd been kidnapped and had somehow escaped, and she wanted to be able to defend him if his kidnappers ever somehow found him again. She had been an amateur boxer during high school, having done the sport as a hobby more than anything else, so she already had some experience as a fighter as she went into kickboxing.

Once Grant was old enough for college, he ended up applying at the same school Jasmine had gone to before, as they'd decided to try to go to school together. And so, she did what she could to be accepted back. Fortunately, they were both accepted, and as of now both live at the dorms at the school. Jasmine had wanted to get an apartment, but understood that Grant would want to try to become more independent. They don't share the same classes, but they still occasionally spend time together and catch up on what's been going, with Jasmine watching over him to make sure he's safe as he possibly can be. Even if things seem to be moving too fast, and he's growing into an adult right before her eyes.

SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ Located on Jasmine's abdomen is an image of a shield with two arrows crossed above it. Depending on the actions she takes, one arrow will glow while the other will not when her abstraction is in effect. When storing momentum, the shield glows.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Momentum Theft, the ability to steal a target's momentum and then apply it to a new target.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Jasmine's abstraction draws on her personal experiences of harsh, forced ends and being thrust into new beginnings. When she focuses on a moving target, both living or non-living, she can steal its momentum and cause it to freeze for exactly one second. Once the second passes, its momentum resets to whatever it would naturally have at that moment. For example, if a bullet was shot at her and she stole its momentum, it would simply drop to the ground once the second was up. While she has momentum stored, she can then give it to any other target, which will add to any current momentum it may already have, if it even has any. Momentum can be delivered in whichever direction she chooses, including the opposite direction of a target already in motion. She can only store one "charge" of momentum at a time, and cannot add on to any she's currently storing, nor can she replace it without first giving it away.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ Jasmine can store multiple charges of momentum when near the mountain, up to a total of three, and all charges can be delivered at once to a single target if desired. She can also focus on stealing from and delivering momentum to specific parts of complicated targets, such as specific bits of the human anatomy.

AURA SENSING ⫻ Jasmine can sense those who are still within a thirty meter radius, even if she is seperated from them by walls. She can also sense those who she has given momentum, at least until the momentum wears off.

LIMITS ⫻ Jasmine's abstraction has a four meter range, and outside of that she cannot affect the momentum of any of those targets. Upon storing a charge within herself, she slowly loses the momentum over time. It wouldn't have any effect in the short term, but if she holds the momentum in herself over a long period of time, she'll essentially lose all of it. In addition, she has to take in account the mass of an object. The momentum of a rock wouldn't do much to move, say, a piano, but it can definitely. Jasmine cannot directly affect an Awakened, but she can infuse herself and the Blind with momentum.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ Whenever Jasmine uses her abstraction, she slows down her own momentum a bit to a near-halt. Which makes it difficult for her to stay on the move while using her abstraction.

Nothing else, for now.

Grant usually appears to be perfectly normal to the average person. He has an average if not somewhat trim build thanks to staying fairly active, and has he decent a enough posture. His brown hair is kept in check with a good brushing every morning and is usually kept in the same style. He has a rather young appearance to him, partially in thanks to his height, but considering the fact that he's only 18 it makes sense, though he still has room to grow. He does rather well at physically expressing himself, as anyone could take a single look at his body language and facial expressions and be able to tell how he's feeling and the message he's trying to get across. His hazel eyes in particular display what he's thinking quite well, more often than not.

He dresses very casually, and his outfits are all similar to one another and mostly just consist of different color variations of the same type of clothing. He has a preference for jeans, plaid, and jackets, but button ups suffice in a pinch. His shoes pretty much consist solely of sneakers, but he does have a pair for walking around in the outdoors. He often carries his book bag with him, even when outside of a school environment, but he actually carries useful things he may need in there. He does carry plenty of school supplies and utensils though, and is often the go-to guy when you need some spare paper or a pen.

He doesn't have any piercings or tattoos, but he does have a small yet jagged scar on his back. He has no idea how it got there though or what caused it. Other than that, he looks incredibly unassuming, which is exactly the type of look he's going for.

Grant lived a city life in northern California for most of his years, and had a rather average life there. He had both of his parents, but only one sibling, Jasmine, who had been adopted a year before he'd been born. She teased and picked on him like any older sibling would, being that she was three years older than him, but for the most part the two got along well enough. She even beat up some older teens that were picking on him once, though she got in trouble for it. She left for college soon after graduating high school, so for about a year it was just him at home. He had a few friends, but no close relationships, so while he would never admit it he did feel lonely without his sister.

But then something shattered his average life. When he was 16 years old, he suddenly vanished without a trace. Nobody knew what happened to him or where he'd gone, only that he only could had disappeared on his way home from school since his friends had last seen him during class. Jasmine returned home during this time, leaving college behind so that she could help search for him and be there with her family during this horrific time. And then after a month, as if out of the blue, Grant returned. A person walking their dog found him wandering the streets one night, seemingly in a daze and unable or unwilling to speak. After being taken to the hospital and being medically evaluated by doctors and nurses, they thankfully didn't find anything physically wrong with him other than a recently-formed scar on his back, but it was clear that he'd gone through some form of extreme psychological trauma. He'd become mute, unable to bring himself to talk despite his vocal chords being undamaged and brain scans showing that he wasn't suffering from any physical trauma.

Whatever it was that had happened to him, he refused to talk about it or explain it. He would communicate with others through writing and typing through his phone, and over time he began to learn sign language, but anytime anyone tried to ask about what happened he would just shut down. His family learned not to push the topic despite being so worried about what could've happened to him, and tried to find some way to help him recover. Jasmine didn't return to college, and instead stayed at home to help care for him and support him. Their bond grew stronger as a result, and while Grant thinks that she can be over-protective at times, he's still glad that he has a close relationship with her.

The reason he never spoke about what happened to him, however, is that he simply cannot remember. But in his dreams, he sees the town of Farmer Hill, the town of the college Jasmine had been attending. Strangely enough, he'd never been there as far as he knew, yet he could recall things about the town as if he'd lived there once before. The name of the town itself seemed incredibly important to him, and were the first words he tried to mouth in the hospital before he realized he couldn't speak. Research into the town proved rather fruitless except for one strange fact: a surprisingly high amount of people from that town have disappeared over the years, or worse, mysteriously end up dead. He wondered...was he a victim of that town as well then? Unlike the others who had disappeared though, he returned. Did that mean it wasn't connected, or was he just an outlier? He had no idea, but he felt the growing need to know the truth as time went by.

So, when the time came to prepare for college, he applied for Grand Ridge Academy. He told Jasmine that he wanted to just go to the same school she'd once attended, and eventually that turned into a promise to attend together. Things seemed to work out perfectly, and they were both accepted. And so now, he's in that town. Strange things have already occured in the short time he's been there, so now seems to be the best time to begin his investigation. He just hopes he isn't tempting fate after apparently having been spared.

SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ The symbol of a wave, located on the center of his upper back.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Sound Negation, the ability to eliminate sounds in an area around him.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Rooting from his dislike from being mute and his stealthy nature, Grant has the ability to remove other people's speech - and their ability to hear as well. The extension of this ability is creating a field around himself that is up to fifteen meters that completely eliminates sound - he can control the size of the field of course. If he wants to, he can make it so small that it masks all of his own sounds. It travels with him, and inside this field, no sound will escape regardless of how loud it is - but if it were to leave the field, the sound would go on normally. This field is imperceptible to the Blind, but the Awakened and other such beings are able to perceive it as a darker tint on the environment. One strength this field has is that the Awakened are not immune to it's effects.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ His control over silence gets a bit more fine, and allows him to mute specific sounds within a fifteen meter radius by focusing on it. In addition, his max field doubles in size (up to thirty meters). He also gains a second ability that is the inverse of his original Abstraction. He gains the ability to generate sound from himself, nothing louder than what he can normally produce with his body. He can create any sound that he can imagine, and thus regains the ability to speak.

AURA SENSING ⫻ Grant's aura reading and abstraction work hand in hand. Whatever living being is being silenced by his fields has their aura illuminated the second they attempt to speak, or communicate audibly until they stop.

LIMITS ⫻ Grant can only have the field up for a limited amount of time - it wears down on his stamina over time. The size of the field plays a part in this, if it's limited to himself he can practically keep it going for hours at a time. At it's max size, he can only keep it going for about ten minutes.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ The field also removes his own ability to hear as well - regardless of size. So once the field goes active, he'll be mute as everyone else in the area.

Nothing for now.
