NPCs of Squad Hercule, Leon's tactical Strike Team(Soon to expand)(Soon being another week or two) [hider=Lieutenant Hugh Murray] [center] [hider=image][img]https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/orig/b0c020c0-d694-4302-837b-415ec55918d9[/img][/hider] [h1]Hugh Murray[/h1] [b]26[/b] | [b]Male[/b] | [b]Nocturnia PD Lieutenant / Commander of Squad Hercule[/b] [/center] [b]Description:[/b] Hugh was already an up and coming member of the SWAT division of Nocturnia’s Burberry branch when his gyft began to manifest in full. As gyfted individuals became more and more common within the city, Hugh stepped forward when Leon began his rise to the position of Captain and worked with him to discover how to overcome the gyfts' first limitation. As more officers were placed under Hugh’s command and they developed a bond of trust, Hugh found that he could read their surface thoughts and could act as a calming presence during the intensity of a firefight. Since then his gyft has been put to use become the calm eye in the center of the storm that is Squad Hercule. [b]Gyft:[/b] Mental Fortress Hugh’s gyft allows him to connect to the minds of others in a somewhat unique manner. As long as the person is willing, Hugh can maintain a link between himself and the other person that grants some mental enhancements until the link is terminated by either party. All connected individuals receive a +2 bonus on rolls made to resist mind-altering gifts and may communicate telepathically with Hugh.

She attempted to defy her family’s wishes and sought out enlistment in the military, but her family connections were sufficient to have her disqualified during admission. However, when she then applied for Nocturnia PD, her family found that they were unable to bribe or coerce Leon into keeping the wayward daughter out of the department. Her arrest record is among the best in the department despite her short service, her gyft allowing her to outrun, outfight, and outthink anyone not similarly gyfted. [b]Gyft:[/b] Enhanced Metabolism Freya can briefly overclock her body’s systems, allowing her to move and fight with her reflexes, strength, and dexterity enhanced to olympian athlete levels. Her body is able to withstand short bursts of up to two minutes before damage begins to occur, requiring her to rest for an equal amount of time.

Both of the students had been bystanders when a man with the ability to move metal with his mind lost control of the ability, causing random shards of metal to spray across the room. His twin sister had thrown herself in front of him, though neither of them knew he had a gyft that could save her until he tried to stop the bleeding himself. He saved her life, and when the event caused his sister to enlist in Burberry PD, he followed right behind her. [b]Gyft:[/b] Cellular Programming Arthur’s cells respond to his mental influence, breaking down and reshaping to fill various biological functions. By touching another person he can divert some of his own cells into their body for the purposes of healing wounds or eradicating venoms and diseased cells of the host body. Constant contact with the person is required until they are restored to a stable condition or the programmed cells break down harmlessly in the body.

When the man's gyft caused razor shards to explode out his control, she threw herself in front of her brother to save his life, neither of them knowing he had a gyft of his own at the time that would in turn save her. Since her recovery, she joined Nocturnia PD in an effort to work against the dangers of unstable gyft users or those who would use their gyfts to purposefully harm someone innocent. When initially offered the position on Squad Hercule due to her performance in the field, she turned it down out of a belief the department had offered it to her because of her brother. It was only when Leon called her into his office and showed her the scores on her qualification exams and told her that he believed it was critical to his teams to involved gyfted and non-gyfted personnel that she finally accepted the position. [b]Gyft:[/b] Not gyfted.

Despite a similar skillset and equipment, Eric felt a disappointing void in his life when he was often put to work as a bodyguard for shady businessmen and corrupt city politicians. Ironically, it was on opposing sides during a raid that Leon and Eric would meet, a meeting that resulted in Eric being placed in handcuffs and being brought back to Burberry precinct for processing. When it became clear that Eric had no real association with the criminal element, Leon made him an offer: come work for Nocturnia PD by turning over what little evidence Eric had access to, or never work in anything approaching private protection again. Eric chose the first option, and has never looked back. [b]Gyft:[/b] Not gyfted [/hider] Tagging [@Estylwen] for attention/approval On a different note, collab replies will be up tomorrow, just running short on sleep here. Sorry for delays!
