Ooh, a wild Hellion appears.
Which is particularly amusing since I used the term 'Hellion' in my lore as an umbrella term for supernatural creatures.

_______________________________________________ Zachary Keene _______________________________________________ April 30th | 15 | Caucasian _______________________________________________ Single | ♂ | Heterosexual _______________________________________________ High Schooler | Stock boy at Eastmart _______________________________________________ • Height | 5'5" • Weight | 116lbs • Build | Thin • Hair Color | Blonde • Eye Color | Blue | A p p e a r a n c e D e t a i l s Zachary Keene isn't unattractive, though his sense of style and general demeanor have done him no favors up until now. After spending fourteen years being dressed by his mother, his excitement to reinvent himself has led to several recent changes. Over the Summer, Zach spent time trying to fill out his wiry frame and chose a new haircut plucked straight from Tiger Beat magazine. Relatively diminutive, Zachary stands out from his peers in all of the wrong ways. Although he's not often noticed, when he is it's occasionally accompanied by derisive remarks regarding his slight frame and stature. Always on his person is a somewhat sloppily handcrafted bracelet of twine and plastic beads. Almost never missing from his left wrist, Zachary displays this accessory proudly regardless of any teasing it might bring to him. P e r s o n a l i t y Zachary is often misunderstood as meek or shy due to his classmates rarely hearing him speak up. In fact, neither of these is true. Although socially awkward with an aversion to party atmospheres, he is, for the most part, confident and strong-willed. His general distaste for the teenage caste system present in high school lends to his relative silence during school hours. Instead, Zach observes. He watches and listens to those around him, taking in a steady stream of information both small and large. Although no stranger to the mocking comments of his peers, young Zachary has never let harsh words affect him. Being raised in a household of three sisters has lent quite well to tolerance and near-immunity of juvenile cruelty and sarcasm. Zach has distanced himself from others in the school, imposing a self-exile of sorts and relegating him to a loner status. If asked, Zachary would claim he prefers it this way. A defense mechanism to shield himself from being hurt by others. Alone at night, though, when he's left with nothing but his own thoughts, Zach is forced to be honest with himself and face the loneliness in his heart. |
I regret to say that something serious has come up for me irl, and I can't participate in roleplays at the moment as I'd like to. It seems I would have needed to do some overhauling as well to fit, but that's besides the point. Please don't worry about considering my char. This looks like it'll be a great rp, so I wish you luck with it and for everyone to have fun!
_______________________________________________ Jennifer Amber Vandermeyer _______________________________________________ 31-10-71 | | Caucasian _______________________________________________ Single | ♀️ | Heterosexual _______________________________________________ Mather's Memorial Student | Defiant to the end _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ • Height | 5'3" • Weight | 111lbs • Build | Lean • Hair Colour | Jet black • Eye Colour | Deep brown | Appearance Details ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Jennifer expresses rebellion in every way she can sink her claws into; her stubborn and bullheaded nature bleeds into her demeanor, walking around with a puffed chest and locked shoulders, a defiant frown plastered permanently across her face. Her long black hair, wild and unkempt, flows back and down her back, the most thought given to it a rough brushing every other day; it breaks a stark contrasting line across her ghost-pale skin. Her fashion sense further cements the image she seeks to cultivate: embedded in punk culture, she wears blacks with provocative slogans and imagery, chained jeans cuffed above heavy boots and always, always, a ragged leather jacket that is a wearable example of the Ship of Theseus, at this point more hap-hazard threading and safety pins than the original garment. Character Synopsis ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Jennifer was born Halloween '71 to Micheal and Barbara Vandermeyer. Micheal, her father, worked in a bank, and her mother made a good home for her husband and new daughter. The family diligently attended church every Sunday, and many other days besides, and had a simple, satisfactory life, if somewhat humdrum. Micheal was able to adequately provide any material needs, and Barbara wanted little besides; they were a simple couple, devout in their beliefs. Jennifer first met Vanessa at 3 years old after the Vandermeyers moved to Crestwood following her father receiving a promotion, sent to the city to run the new branch the bank had just opened there. The Bordeaux's were their new neighbours, and little Jennifer was delighted to have a new friend so quickly after what little life she'd gotten a grip on had been so rapidly uprooted. Vanessa and Jennifer quickly became the firmest of friends in the way only growing little girls can manage, and their bond blossomed further as they entered education, being the two best friends either girl had had in their short lives thusfar. As they grew, so did their parents; while the Bordeaux's were a well-respected family in Crestwood, Jennifer's parents picked up a reputation for being overly preachy and judgmental; while Jennifer herself had stopped attending church since she turned 10, her parents were still devout, perhaps even zealous believers at times, and in their deepening age relied more and more on their faith as a cornerstone of their values, and their daughter as the cornerstone of their future. Jennifer began to slowly realize her life was being planned and curated for her, and the seed of resentment found root in her core. Jennifer turned to music, as did so many young girls and boys; the world around her was alive with all kinds of new sounds, but where Vanessa, her best friend, fell in love with Disco and the elating, motivating sounds found therein, Jennifer was drawn to the messy, defiant catharsis of the still-young Punk Rock movement. Punk reveled in sticking two fingers up and damn the consequences, a philosophy Jennifer adopted with frightening speed and ease; everything became about rebellion. Jennifer forged a new identity in punk: Vandermeyer no longer, she was Jenny Venom, and she used this persona to divorce herself from her family's reputation, and her parent's plans for her. As Jennifer and Vanessa approached high school, they had drifted apart significantly; Jennifer had fallen in with her new spiky-haired, leather-wearing clique, and had derided Vanessa's love of Disco, spurning Vanessa's attempts to reconnect and rekindle the friendship. Vanessa kept herself graceful enough to never retaliate, allowing Jennifer the space to explore this new self she had constructed. Vanessa's death shattered Jenny's world, despite the distance she had deliberately made between her and her once-closest friend. The tragedy cast into harsh light exactly what life is and can be, and what it means when it is taken away; but these revelations have only triggered a further retreat into the persona. Jennifer was a little girl, her life being lived for her, path forcibly laid out ahead of her, naive and foolish. Jenny Venom is fearless, and tough, and survives everything. Hyper-Human Abilities ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Jennifer's hype-gene has mutated specifically alongside her immune system and fight-or-flight response. When presented with physical trauma or sudden terror, before adrenaline floods her blood supply, a unique secondary 'hype-hormone' is secreted from her adrenal glands that blocks the receptors at her nerve endings, completely shutting down the nervous system pain response and instead replacing any incoming trauma signals with a direct signal to the endocrine system to produce further and further adrenaline. The mutated hype-adrenaline then bonds with her muscles and completely replaces the aerobic/anaerobic respiration function, eliminating lactic acid buildup and allowing indefinite function without exhaustion. Finally, the bonded 'hype-hormone' and adrenaline floods her skull cavity and passes through the pia mater into the blood vessels of the brain, and signals the activation of an extremely intense, subconscious form of auto-biokinesis, allowing her low-level brain functions to take over the immune system response and rewire muscles, organs, blood supply systems and bones on-the-fly to adapt to endure any and all incoming trauma without ceasing function. Once trauma has ceased or has been escaped, the 'hype-hormone' stops signalling, and the mutated adrenaline floods the immune system entirely, expediting recovery of injury, the body drawing adrenaline from its various appendages and organs working from the bodily extremes inward in order to necessitate quickened recovery while allowing maximum up-time of the unconscious biokinesis to aid natural physical recovery, before the adrenaline is drawn from the meninges entirely and disseminated as the final healing 'booster'. All these processes combined result in Jennifer being able to sustain intense physical trauma well above and beyond what would be typically fatal for a human, without feeling pain, losing motor or organ function, or slowing or shutting down - and then being able to recover from the trauma to full-functioning capacity at an increased rate after-the-fact. |
_______________________________________________ Astrid Elizabeth Gray _______________________________________________ 16 | ♀ | Heterosexual _______________________________________________ Physical Profile ___________________________________ //Basics: • Height | 5'7" • Weight | 125 lbs • Ethnicity | Caucasian • Hair Colour | Brown • Eye Colour | Blue //Piercings/Tattoos/Scars: • Earlobes | "Is she wearing diamonds or pearls today?" Abilities, Skills and Resources ___________________________________ //Abiliites: • Light Manipulation | Astrid has the ability to create, shape, and manipulate visible light. Her body automatically stores a resource pool of light while she’s exposed to it and she only utilizes this resource pool if she’s no longer around visible light to draw from. Capabilities would include: invisibility/cloaking, light construct generation, light solidification, light blasts and beams, light/color generation, etc. • Limitation(s) | Astrid must be exposed to light in order to generate her resource pool. Furthermore, if she’s drained of light, she’ll feel weak and fatigued as her body draws from it as a normal source of energy. Astrid is strongest when she’s surrounded by visible light. • Weakness(es) | If Astrid is caught in pure darkness or in areas of limited light, she’ll be at her weakest. Her powers are very limited within settings such as this. //Skills: • Cheerleading | It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a -! . . . Just Astrid flying at the top of the pyramid. • Charisma | Astrid is very good at communication and swaying people to get the things that she wants. She’s very personable, but can simultaneously become subconsciously manipulative. • Driving Super Fast! | Astrid has been a speed demon ever since she was allowed to have her foot touch a gas pedal. While she has limited experience since she's newly licensed, she is brave enough to speed and doesn't fear speeding tickets. As for the longevity of her license, that's another story, but maybe she can just buy it back! | D E T A I L E D A P P E A R A N C E : ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Astrid has the luxury of not being spotted with any acne or scarring, unlike most teens. Her clear complexion paired with her pale, blue eyes, alone, offer strong competition to the girls at Mather Memorial High, but it’s her contagious smile, glistening white with sincerity, that ties her beauty together. Astrid stands taller than most, at 5’7” with a healthy weight of 125 pounds, all evenly distributed over her gentle hourglass shape. Warm brown hair falls down to the small of her back, in flowing waves and layers, each strand as healthy as ever without a split-end in sight. Astrid sports a slender build with wiry muscles that tone well across her figure. Although this suggests Astrid’s booming popularity in school, it also turns out that many envy her natural beauty and turn to resent her. P E R S O N A L I T Y : ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Astrid lived the majority of her life sheltered. It was only the fact that her parents were hyperhumans that made her aware of certain events that wouldn’t always be lavish and luxurious. The common oppression of hyperhumans was made aware in her head at a young age—but as long as you don’t reveal this part of your life everything was fine, right? Thus, Astrid lived the popular girl life with the nicest clothes and shoes. She enjoyed everything from morning ice coffees to shopping sprees at the mall; from milkshakes on her balcony to driving fast in her family’s convertible. While she glorified this materialistic trait to herself, she was simultaneously very involved with her family. She loved them all and was made sure that her gratitude was expressed. While Astrid means little harm, she is naive to the consequences of her actions. Not the ones that would come back at her, but the ones that would come back at others. This created her subconsciously selfish and manipulative traits. Still, she was very likable in high school, even by the faculty. Astrid was polite even if it came from a totally fake side of her. Formalities were second-nature to her, and communication and public speaking was easy. But, as she experiences her first devastation, she finds difficulty trying to find ways to cope with it. While Astrid may seem like she’s prepared for the common changes of life, she is actually naive. |

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 𝑽𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒖𝒆𝒔: Autumn likes to think of herself in achievements – she must be smart, since she won several science fairs; she must be a good friend, as others’ give her praises; she must be a favored student, as teachers are constantly asking her to make runs for them. She only perceives herself through frivolous physical things and takes them at face-value. Because she cannot see between lines easily, Autumn tends to follow societal rules. She’s polite, punctual, and her whole life revolves around her academics. 𝑽𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒔: There’s something angry in Autumn. She’s a smoldering flame that can’t be snuffed and it affects the way she sees the world. Autumn has so much pent up aggression that she throws tantrums, hurtles insults at friends, would even pull her hair out. Autumn feels all her emotions intensely – happiness, sadness, excitement, anger. She’s untethered, manic even, and her moods swing unpredictably. Hot temper aside, she can be snooty and pretentious because of her academic success. Autumn tries not to be, but she looks down on those who don’t succeed academically as academics is all she focuses on. | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FREQUENCY MANIPULATION 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉𝒔: The manipulation of frequency entails the power to increase or decrease the frequency in which things happen. She could slow the ticks of a clock, speed up the rotation of a coin, or mess with the frequencies of a radio. In short, Autumn manipulates the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. In a clock, she can manipulate the amount of times the gears turn and make it slower or faster. With a coin, she can speed up the rotation, and on a radio she can plug up the sound frequencies. 𝑾𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔: Autumn’s power is not easily applied and Autumn often has to act smart and strategic with it. She cannot change the frequency of an object that has a frequency of 0; at least one occurrence of an event much have happened for her to control the frequency. A coin that hasn’t spun cannot have it’s rotation sped up, a clock that isn’t working cannot be slowed, and an unplugged radio cannot be messed with. |
