NPC List
Cyrus Levine
28 | He/him | The Broker/Mafia
Description: Growing up as a street urchin with a bad habit of sticking his nose in business where it didn't belong, it took a couple beatings for his Gyft to manifest. Portals allowed him to eavesdrop more secretly, and he learned all kinds of dirty secrets from the gangsters and mafias on the block. As he grew older, his secrets went from a dollar a hint to $10,000.
He tried selling secrets to the Badges, but found they simply didn't see his worth. As in, they simply were unwilling to pay scum like him top dollar to get info when they would rather sacrifice a cop as a mole to do it.
So, instead, he has specialized in marketing himself to the mafias within the city. If anyone knows anything, he does, and he's the first to know. There's a reason people pay him well for his secrets; it could mean the difference between knowing your enemy is about to strike, and walking into it blind.
He doesn't always demand cash for his information. Sometimes he asks for information in return, or a favour.
Yes, he does offer a ferry service. However, he tries to make it as expensive as possible to discourage people from seeing him as nothing but a ridiculously handsome ferryman.
Gyft: Water-Sourced Portal Creation
By spilling a water bottle's worth on a flat surface, he is able to move anywhere within Nocturnia. He can jump through the reflective surface, ending up on the other side of town in a matter of seconds. The only restriction is the spill has to be big enough for a person to jump through. He merely has to visualize where he wants to go, and he'll jump into that location through a mirroring puddle of water.
Electricity disturbs it. And it just so happens that the wall surrounding Nocturnia is electrically charged on its outermost layers. So, that does mean he is just as much trapped in the city as anyone else.
Hailey Vagabond
23 | She/her | The Detonist/Unknown Alliance
Description: Leaflets litter the streets of Nocturnia. ‘Meet the future,’ ‘Breathe the silver air,’ ‘M.PHEAT’, and other such nonsense sprawling all in nice little rows on the letter-like leaflet. Flipping the leaflet to the other side and taking four unique ones, the scribbles on the back would form a map, and mark the spot for an auspicious occasion!
Hailey was at such a meeting. And the next one. And the one after that. She sang with the rest, and raised her fist in the air. She could see it, the vision, the future! No longer would the pigs control them, and those snobby bureaucrats, and those criminal selfish gobbers.
One day, at these auspicious, oh-so-secret gatherings, crates upon crates arrived, all filled with little bottles. She was given bottle after bottle, as long as she promised one thing. One small, tiny thing.
Of course, she promised earnestly, nodding her head vigorously. And, sipping her bottles, she set her eyes on the other districts within Nocturnia, ready to enact ‘M.PHEAT's will.
Gyft: Unknown.
Jack Kingsley
27 | He/him | Detective of the 1st Division/Detective
Description: Jack has fought with the mafias in Nocturnia for most of his life. Even when he was too young to enter the police academy, he acted like somewhat of a vigilante, stalking known mafia members and interfering in their criminal activities.
The only reason he evaded jail time for trying to take the law into his own hands was that the previous Commissioner at that time saw potential in him. So when he did eventually graduate from the police academy, he passed with flying colors.
From that moment on, he became a menace to mafias on the street, now an embodiment of the law. His ability to put down even the strangest and most powerful Gyfts had him highly coveted. Whenever street fights broke out, he'd drop mafia members like flies. When it was his shift, the entire division would know as the holding cells would always be full.
His promotion to detective was swift and well-deserved. Now he reports directly to Commissioner Franchesca, and commands the First Division in Jeweled Bank. He knows there's still lots of work to do, but he won't rest until each criminal in this dirty city is behind bars.
Gyft: Electrical Manipulation and Creation
He is able to absorb, dish out, and generate electricity by attracting electrons in the air or from sources like car batteries. He can provide powerful electrical shocks and shoot lightning up to thirty feet away. His shock range is as low as a hum, to as strong as a shock that leaves electrical burns.
Insulating material, like rubber, can effectively block and negate any and all of his abilities. If he loses concentration, or uses his abilities in a strong magnetic field, he risks the chance of running the electricity through his heart, which can cause cardiac arrest and kill him.
Noah Poppy
12 | Ge/him | The Little Fighter/Mafia
Description: Noah is the the son of Poppy Letoux when she had an affair with her adopted brother, a police officer. He is unaware of his lineage, or his real name. Everything that is his is thanks to the Orphanage, including his name. Unbeknownst to him, he has been so close to his real mother, Poppy, his entire life. This unknown closeness has caused an ache in him. He loves Poppy, and wishes she were his real mother, but he knows it's not possible. This ache in his heart has caused him to develop a rebellious, raw attitude where he is quick to anger over any little thing.
It's this lack of cooperation and ‘nice-ness’ that has caused him to remain unadopted at the orphanage while growing up. And now, as he nears his thirteenth birthday, his only desire is to become a real member of Poppy's mafia, so he can be useful to Poppy.
Gyft: Kinetic Energy
Whenever Noah moves quickly, kinetic energy builds, creating small bursts of power. This allows his punches and kicks to have more power behind them, enough to crack ribs and concrete. A small aura of gold appears around his limbs when he's using his Gyft.
He gets tired out in a fight twice as fast as the best, most fit fighter, however. By this, his movements slow quickly, and he runs out of stamina if a fight goes on too long.
Anna D'Rochelle
25 | Female | Phade | Mercenary
Description: Born and raised on the Nocturnian streets, Anna was originally from one of the more middle-class districts. However, early troubles with the Mafias displaced her and her family, leaving them to survive in a pooerer part kf the city. Growing into her own, Anna turned to petty crimes of theft and con-artistry to make ends meet. Eventually, her Gyft manifested; this only escalated her criminal activity. Soon thereafter she would add murder to her rapp sheet, and the thirst for action set deep roots. With her Gyft gaining her a degree of fame within the city, she turned attention to hiring herself out to police and mafias alike for short term contracts.
Gyft:
- Phasing. Can alter her body and anything in contact with it (clothing, weapons, etc.) such that she can pass through physical matter. With this she can move through walls, and evade physical harm from conventional weapons. She can extend this effect to others so long as she maintains comtact with them. Can be disrupted by electricity, causing Anna to return to her more corporeal state.
- Teleportation. Can instantaneously move through space. Limited to short ranges within her line of sight; the exception is for places that she is familiar enough with to properly visualize, such as her home and frequent places of visitation. Long-distance teleportation causes physical strain and fatigue if overdone.
Special Operative Sylvia Madore
28 | Female | Sneak/Del Guarde
Description: Formerly employed by the US Navy, and later an operative for the CIA. Her CIA tenure revealed her aptitude for stealth, wherein she excelled in espionage and reconsisance. Sylvia has a prior working relation with Sergeant T. Eren Glyde-Savion, having briefed him regarding multiple missions and operations, and cooperated in joint operations throughout their careers. She was thoroughly involved in the investigation into the Incident that killed Glyde's former team; Glyde remains unaware of this fact, and that Sylvia is privvy to the truth of what transpired. The higher ups selected Sylvia to join Del Guarde in part to monitor the Staff Sergeant's actions; stated reasoning credits the pair's history of proven results when cooperating.
Gyft: Cloaking Field.
Sylvia can create a small area of effect around herself that renders her invisible and muffles routine sounds such as footsteps.
Private Darian "Dar" Slayton
29 | Male | Title/Alliance
Description: An ex-military man, formerly of the Marine Corps. He was honorably discharged following an incident that resulted in the loss of his right hand. He was later utilized as a test subject for experimental robotic prosthetics, through which his hand was replaced with a fully-function polymer appendage. Following the success of the surgery, he was offered a return to duty to better test the efficiency of the new technology in practical situations. It was hardly a fair offer, as he would be stripped of the new hand if he refused. He was assigned to the initial infiltration by Del Guarde alongside Staff Sergeant Glyde-Savion and Agent Sylvia Madore, among at least two others. As with his two partners, Dar has since manifested a Gyft, and has gained quick competence with it.
Gyft: Barrier
Darian can generate protective energy shields. These can range from simple walls to full spheres typically measuring up to ten feet in diameter. They are robustly solid, enough so to block bullets an small artillery fire, though repeated bombardment can compromise this integrity; energy projection can also be used to break through them. They are difficult to maintain for extend time frames. Dar can expand his area of effect, though this comes at higher costs and can't be sustained as long.
Samuel Sauten
16 | Male | Errand-boy/assistant
Description: Samuel is the nephew of an already established worker at Kairo Skyscraper. The young man got in by his uncle practically begging Asterion to give him a job or good recommendation because family drama was going down. Samuel's mother isn't well off but she is trying, he has a younger brother, and there is no father in the household.
He is a scrawny teenager who stands about 5'10 and weighs less than he should (or at least Asterion thinks so).
Samuel is a semi-awkward teenager that has a hard time reading the room which isn't the worst thing. It tends to get on Asterion's nerves or tests his patience because it's usually at the most inconveniencing times.
Gyft: He has not been granted a gyft at the moment --- he will hopefully get one, one day.
