Name: Jenny Steban

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Abilities: Resurrective Immortality - Jenny isn't too good at staying dead. She dies as easily as anyone in the world, but a short while after her death, her corpse springs back to life, fully healed of injuries - gunshot wounds close, broken bones mend, even limbs regrow. Without an inhibitor chip, the process of resurrection takes about a minute, sometimes less - with an inhibitor, she can stay dead anywhere from several hours to an entire day. The process has a deteriorative side effect on her mind, particularly her memories. She has trouble remembering things from immediately before her death, occasionally forgetting what she was doing or the exact face of the person that killed her. Unbeknownst to her, the effect is more subtle on her long-term memories, but potentially far worse; details of her life fade the more she dies and comes back, treasured memories grow duller, voices grow less distinct.

Skills: Jenny is good with computers - she's got a working familiarity with security software and a knack for getting into places and finding things she's not supposed to. This extends to a respectable grasp of the ancient art of breaking and entering: she's not a ninja, and her ability to sneak past people is basically limited to 'move fast and quiet and hope they're not looking', but she's nevertheless decent at getting into places where she's not wanted.

Equipment: Few changes of clothes, shitty laptop that barely works, toothbrush, more beanies than she probably needs.

Biography: The first time Jenny died, she was six years old, in what would become the most famous event in the modern world - the Black Sabbath. Her parents were among the thousands of nonpowered individuals that lost their lives, and Jenny died with them, only to spring back to life a minute later, not understanding what had happened or where her parents had gone.

After that, Jenny's life was defined by falling through an overworked foster care system. The Black Sabbath left an untold number of orphans in the area, and unsurprisingly, none of them got the care that they needed. As she grew, Jenny learned how to fall through the cracks and make life for the people trying to take care of her absolutely miserable. She displayed an affinity for computers and for getting into things and places she wasn't wanted - her personal favorite trick was sneaking into the office of the orphanage director, breaking into his computer and sending pictures of the woman he was having an affair with to his wife - and she continued to experiment with her powers.

She was seventeen years old and in her fourth foster home when her secret got out - she stole her foster mother's car and pretzled it around a tree in an accident that was ruled 'unsurvivable' for an unpowered individual, which made it very strange indeed that she was left without a mark on her. She was tested for the Devo gene, chipped, and tossed in an overcrowded compound with all the other freaks. She's been there for two years, angry at the world, biding her time, knowing that when she gets free, there'll be no stopping her.

Name: Cameron Clark - whether it's her real name, no-one's particularly sure.

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Appearance: It depends, really.

When she doesn't have a reason to mess around, she'll generally stick to the appearance held above - not much different than a typical college kid. Her clothes are usually baggy, mostly to facilitate whatever shift she feels necessary without drawing too much attention, but more strikingly than that is the constantly unnerving changes she makes. Really, she just finds it funny to watch the reaction when she looks up with eyes shining red and snakelike, or teeth too sharp to be human. As a tattoo climbs her arm, moving as though it were alive, down to hands with skin gone see-through.

So for the most part, she'll never look quite normal unless it's needed, playing around with her power constantly; as though she sees the whole thing as an entertaining game. Eventually, you get used to it. If she knows you, she'll make herself recognisable - if she likes you, she might even try not to be unnerving, but don't count on it.

Abilities: Shapeshift - put simply, she can change her form however she pleases. Of course, she can't use it to give herself powers, but she can change her size - to some extent, her upper limit being little more than an extra foot of height and bulk, her lower being the size of your average ten-year-old - and isn't necessarily limited to making herself look human. She can't increase her strength or senses beyond those of a regular person either, and of course, it's limited to her own body. Changing what she's wearing is something she'd have to do for herself.

She doesn't find it too difficult to mimic others, but only their appearance. Personality, mannerisms, and other non-physical aspects are things she would actively need to learn.

With an inhibitor, the speed of her ability is highly limited; while she can still change her appearance, to do so completely takes upwards of twenty minutes uninterrupted focus. Not something she'd ever be given time to do, at any rate. For the most part, she's restricted to small, if unnerving, changes when it's in place. Interestingly enough, she doesn't seem to have a "base appearance" in the sense that her ability would force a default. The usual form taken is, it seems, just a choice she's made.

For the most part she sticks to camouflage, scare tactics, and evasion. When it comes to a fight, Cameron is far better off finding a way to escape.

Wounds and injuries will also persist in whatever form they can, though she can cover them up superficially - a broken bone will remain broken. She also can't eliminate anything vital, of course. No matter what her shape, she's still fundamentally human, and can't exactly survive without her organs.

Skills: Honestly, she likes to think she has more skills than she really does. For the most part, Cam's skills are people-focused, and she's one hell of an actor. She's perceptive and good at spotting a lie, though not supernaturally so, and has a tendency to find people's sore spots with her more barbed remarks. What she does at least have some grasp of is first-aid, learned mostly out of necessity; but she's not remotely squeamish, and finds it easy enough to act with what knowledge she has in a crisis.

Equipment: A backpack containing several sets of clothes, hats, and a pair of sunglasses. Most of what she owned was confiscated following her capture, so even by compound standards, she's not got much in her possession.

Biography: Born to a rich family, Cameron wasn't the earliest bloomer, and with her power, that turned out to be more than a little inconvenient. She had a tendency to wander - even when young, she'd never be where she was meant to - but combined with the appearance of her power, neglectful parenting, and a lack of understanding on her part it left the youngster on the missing persons list. The search party came across her more than once; but all knew she wasn't the person they were looking for.

Her fear of being outed as a Deviant right after the Sabbath overrode her initial instinct to explain, and so she found herself on the street. Or himself, at that time; seemed safer, as decisions went. These things got confusing, and Cameron honestly found it difficult to keep track. For a while, it worked for her, changing her appearance, sleeping in camouflage, taking advantage of the luxuries provided, and moving on every time people started to figure her out. But even with a power like hers that meant she could avoid too much suspicion, making it forever in the luxurious city was far too ambitious an endeavour.

It wasn't the early years that got her caught. Then, she was paranoid, jumpy, always looking over her shoulder. Changed her name, changed how she looked, changed everything until she couldn't be sure who she'd been in the first place. It was later, when she grew relaxed and lazy, that she was spotted; and of course, any report of an unsupervised Deviant in the city, especially with such a potentially irritating power, was acted on quickly and firmly. After that, the end was inevitable; caught the eye of a Peacekeeper, and one mandatory test later, they'd found their Deviant.

Of course, they didn't take kindly to how long she'd seemingly been making a mockery of their system. Well, that combined with a string of incidents they could pin on her, some her fault, some not at all, and the inadvisable amount of attitude directed at the Peacekeepers who chipped and captured her. Dropped off in the compound mere days ago, Cameron was a wreck upon arrival. Between that, and failing to adjust to the rigid rules and curfews of the compound, she hasn't exactly been doing well recently.

Not that anyone else gets to know that. Compared to what she's used to, it's barely even an effort to hide.

Name: Dana Oxley
Nickname: Oxley

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Appearance: Oxley is medium height and weight, and she has olive skin. Her multicoloured hair is most often on a singular braid that she even sleeps with. She has a septum, freckles, and a nose she'd describe as too large for her face. Her eyes are hazel with olive green specs in them. Oxley has a big scar behind her right ear.
Oxley's style is scrappy and colorful, but above all, comfortable.

Abilities:
"Compact mind"
Photographic memory extended to its fullest. Oxley is unable to forget anything she sees, hears, or learns - down to the smallest details. This means she is able to recall every minute of her life, down to the most inconsequential things.
The drawback is massive. Oxley has massive migraines and she gets overwhelmed easily because human mind isn't built for remembering everything. She is unable to forget all the negative things in her life, and her train of thought becomes very hard to follow. Oxley needs a lot of sleep to process the things she's learned every day. Without sleep, she'll go crazy.

With Inhibitor Oxley has actually an easier time controlling her power. With the inhibitor, Oxley's memories start to dull in a fabricated way just like regular humans'. It also takes her longer to process information than it would without the chip. If the chip was be removed, Oxley would regain her full power, but she'd probably suffer from an onslaught of insignificant memories that makes her useless.

Skills:
Oxley has a plethora of skills, but she's most known for being a big nerd. She is proficient in two different languages besides English and the language of mathematics: French and ASL.
She knows how to code, although she's no hacker. Oxley, unsurprisingly, plays Dungeons and Dragons. She is a pro at crossword puzzles, sudokus, and related puzzle games.
As a party trick, Oxley likes to cite the Lord of the Rings trilogy word for word. She has also memorised the entirety of Star Trek movie franchise's dialogue.

Biography:
The doctors didn't find out about Oxley's power until it caused her to have a mental shutdown at the age of 5. After the meltdown Oxley's abilities were discovered, she was labelled as a Devo. She was put on anxiety medication.
Oxley was six years old when the Black Sabbath took place. Her parents weren't powered, but they were protesting among the thousands of other non-powered people on that fateful day. Oxley got separated from her parents during the panic, losing sight of them in the mass. After the massacre was over, Oxley was identified, a chip was implanted into her, and she was moved into foster care in the rising Compounds. She never got to know what happened to her parents, whether they were dead or alive. She was only identified by her status as a Devo, and nothing she tried to say mattered.
Oxley moved out of the foster care as soon as she could. She's still in the Compounds, but now she's living on her own.

Other:
Oxley doesn't watch the end credits of movies because she wouldn't be able to get them out of her mind. She listens to a very specific set of music to avoid getting too much unnecessary imput from outside world.
Oxley is ambidextrous.
Oxley is a perfectionist. Her personality type is INTJ.
Everyone calls Oxley by her surname. This is by her choice. Most people don't even know her first name.
