| In-Depth Appearance |
Standing at 5’4, with a slim, yet curvaceous figure, Mia still has the vestiges of childhood about her heart-shaped face – her dimples border plump, full lips, and there is still the slight chubbiness to her cheeks and sparkle in her eyes that betray an essence of immaturity about her.
Mia’s natural dark blonde hair reaches just longer than her shoulders is usually worn in a variety of ways – she just loves messing around with it. And anyone else’s hair, at that. Silvery-grey eyes can often be mistaken for green or blue depending on the lighting, and they certainly accentuate her RBF that she inherited from her mother.
Her accent is a gentle one – having spent the first few years of her life in Georgia, Mia has retained the homey, sweet southern tones that certainly make her pleasant to listen to.
In terms of clothing, she’s pretty diverse. There’s not one style she prefers other another, really – just as long as it’s good to look at, and she’s comfortable in it. Obviously, this can range from jeans to skirts, and from sweaters to vest tops.

Who Am I?
| Personality |
♦ Blunt ♦ Childish ♦ Imaginative ♦ Argumentative ♦
At heart, Mia has been, and likely always will be, a child. There’s something satisfying in being able to act immature and still have enough charm to get away with it – and with such immaturity in her actions, comes a bluntness to her words. Childhood is all about energy and spontaneity – so why dance around an unspoken issue when you can just call it out? Feelings can sometimes be hurt when she states the truth as tactlessly as she does, but to her, it shouldn’t matter in the long run. Despite this childish outlook on life, Mia has a serious potty mouth – one that surely rears its head when it comes to arguing... a favourite past-time of hers.
However, this should not distract from her good qualities, which are certainly more prominent – Mia is like home-made lemonade; the first sip is bitter, but you certainly feel the sweetness afterwards. And she is indeed a sweet person – if someone is offended or hurt by her bluntness, she’ll make it up to them in some simple way that shows she does actually care... she wouldn’t have spoken so abruptly to them otherwise.
In addition to her childishness is her imagination – it won’t be uncommon for her to suggest a fantastical idea, simply because it looks awesome all mapped out in her head, despite it being unable to work in the real world. Although this creative and out-of-the-box thinking can be useful at times, one soon gets tired of her incessantly begging for their team shape-shifter to turn into a motherfucking dragon to consume all of their enemies in one bite.
As for the events in the past few days, they have indeed shaken her resolve – when it comes to her parents, Mia couldn’t imagine finer people. She cannot believe for one second that they would harm someone without good reason, whether they’re Alien or not. As such, she would still very much like to go back to them, and is very homesick at the moment... she also dreads the day that their group will come against the supposed Super-Villain group their parent’s belong to, and she’ll be forced to bring harm to the people she loves the most on this earth. With this train of thinking comes a childish naivety, which could prove disastrous for the runaways.

| History |
As far as Mia was aware, her life was perfectly normal up until a few days ago. Her Dad was an awesome Doctor, her Mom running her own Lawyer firm, and they doted on their only child. They loved her, and she loved them. Life was as it would be for any child growing up in a successful home – she got lessons in her chosen sport and musical instrument (Respectively horse-riding and the cello, as it happens); she did well in school with just the right amount of pressure from her parents; and she lived in a big ol’ house for her to mess around in.
She never noticed anything odd or extraordinary about her life – the most uncommon thing was her having to take an injection everyday for her Diabetes, and that was it. Except, as she found out, she doesn’t have Diabetes. The medicine wasn’t insulin, and it was being administered for a completely different reason to what she thought... she was an alien.
Now, despite the joy in the discovery she could now have as much sugar as she wanted, it still wasn’t the best thing to find out from snooping around some random papers with your friends. Especially to also learn that her parents were apparently merciless killers who were a part of a crime syndicate. Her doting Daddy and sweet Momma... killers? Mia couldn’t believe it – she didn’t want to believe it. But the evidence was there, along with more information found in her parent’s bedroom back at her home. Information about themselves, and their race, and their planet. And it was terrifying.
What made it more terrifying was that she wasn’t human, and she had no idea what that meant for her. Apparently the “insulin” she’d been taking for all these years have been stopping her powers from manifesting... so what would happen, now that she’s stopped taking it? She has no idea, and the more she reads up about these Avalians, the more scared she gets. But she doesn’t want the others to know... she may be the youngest, and may act the youngest, but Mia will not be taken as some kind of burden – she’ll pull her weight, and keep concerns to herself. After all, they’re all scared... and she doubts they’ll understand how she feels. At least the others are sort of human.

| Dr. Duncan Alston |
Duncan came to Earth his Wife a good few years ago, leaving their planet of Avalia behind for reasons unknown to any but themselves – but judging by their actions, it was caused by some kind of criminal activity. They weren’t there very long before being approached by members of a human Earth group known as the Syndicate.
Duncan was happy to just live a quiet life here on Earth, but both he and his wife realised that it never hurt to have powerful friends. Therefore, they joined the group, on the condition that they wouldn’t be just lackeys – they were not going to find themselves at the beck and call of homosapiens... not that they said as much to their new “friends”.
As for his home life, Duncan dearly loves his wife and only daughter – and it isn’t just an act. He would do anything to protect them – even at the risk of something far greater.
| Role in the Syndicate |
As far as Syndicate knows about Avalians and how they work, they are under the impression that Duncan has the affinity for two Avalian elements; Body and Ground. While Ground is a latent power – despite his apparent misgivings with his home-world, he and his wife still considered it to be a disgusting thing to use the two base elements offensively, no matter the situation – his affinity for the Body is far more useful, to both he and the Syndicate. While working nicely for his job as a Surgeon, it can be used as both a threat and incentive to people affiliated with Syndicate. If one works for the group and is considered valuable, he’ll use his power to help along their healing process. If a loose end needs to be taken care of, they’ll deteriorate rapidly, without any notion of toxins or evidence that foul play is afoot.
However, Duncan has a third element his is attuned too – Space. Kept firmly under the impression that you should never reveal everything to co-workers, Duncan has kept this quiet... after all, how can their dear little strategist Linda come up with a plan to deal with it, if she doesn’t know it exists?
| Victoria Alston |
Much like her husband, she adores her home and her family – there is nothing she wouldn’t do for her darling daughter... apart from perhaps, leave this criminal group. When she and Duncan first arrived on this godforsaken planet, they were hesitant to join such a group at first. However, when some began exhibiting certain powers, the deal became all the more sweeter – because the last thing they needed were more enemies.
Despite their affiliation with the Syndicate, both she and Duncan remain privately scornful of them all. After all, they’re just humans. To her, their power is nothing more than a brief blip in history, and it’ll be a miracle if any of them are remembered in years to come – she doubts the earthlings will even make it out of their galaxy in the next millennium. An Armageddon before that seems far more likely – probably caused by the foolish creatures themselves.
| Role in the Syndicate |
Victoria’s affinities are used to great purpose, both in her innocent day job, and more deviant role in the Syndicate – she can manipulate the element of the Mind, Heat, and Water. Again, Water is never used offensively. She and Duncan use their peaceful affinities to help grow things in their garden, and it helped Mia learn how to swim as a child - and it never goes beyond that. Mind, however, is incredibly useful – being a Lawyer, it is so easy to wipe out all confidence in her opponents, or make them recall their worst fears in the middle of a courtroom to reduce them to a blubbering mess. It doesn't look good for one's reputation.
She was able to make a notorious name for herself after just two years in the profession. By three, she was running her own company, and now, she does one of two things to Lawyers that come into her state of New York – she either owns them, or destroys them. And this is where she has an advantage over the Syndicate: If any of their people slip up – and they do, there’s always one that does - she has the choice to stand for them, or against them. It depends on dear old George decides to offer her and her husband, because there’s no-way she’ll let a goddamn human boss around superior beings like herself.
Her Mind power also allows her to cover secrets of she and her husband – she knows that they each have a dossier, and she knows there are telepaths in the ground. Therefore, mind shielding does wonders to keep the human’s noses out of their business... it also prevents the others from knowing how little they mean to the Alston’s, and how quickly they would throw them under the bus.
| Abilities |
As is common for her Avalian race, Mia appears to Affinities for three elements so far:
- Air – She hasn’t been able to do much with this other than to use it for flying, or making some cool breezes when the jeep get’s too stuffy.
- Time – A very latent power so far; it gives the chance to peak into the future or the past, to see events that matter highly to her. A somewhat useful gift, but it would be even better if she was able to consciously check ahead of time to make sure they won’t get caught. As of now, she just sorta zones out – not in the comfortable, conscious way she’s used to either – regardless of the place or situation she’s in.
- Light – She is able to manifest and manipulate light, turning it into a malleable substance that is quite capable of being used offensively, in the form of high-power beams, or defensively, in the form of a force field. It is, however, a great toll on her body, as it takes a high amount of concentration to keep this power in check. Otherwise, it just burnt out herself, and everyone else in the vicinity.
((As of now, none of these powers have manifested just yet – this message will be removed when they do.))
| Strengths |
- Creative thinking – although it can be trying at times, Mia’s imagination can be quite handy at coming up with useful strategies to avoid the authorities. For all the logical thinking from the rest of the group, she reckons their parents will be following the same thought pattern – if you’re unpredictable, you’re less likely to be caught by those strange logic thinkers.
- Bright and bubbly – despite her own internal emotions swaying to the negative side these days, on the outside she remains quite cheerful and mischievous. Her childish enthusiasm is infectious at the best of times, and she’s probably made a lot of the journey a bit easier. When she hasn’t been annoying everyone, that is.
- Power – Although she doesn’t know it yet, Mia’s affinities are a force to be reckoned with; although there’s the downside that her more destructive powers aren’t in much control, they are still extremely useful in a fight. Foresight is an advantage too, when the visions are behaving themselves that is.
| Weaknesses |
- Naive – Mia still doesn’t truly believe that her parents are bad people, that they’re killers. She’d like to go back home to them, despite the feeling deep in her heart telling her to turn away.
- Uncontrollable – An Avalian’s powers naturally makes themselves known when their host is a child; but Mia’s have been suppressed all of her life, out of fear she would let the world know about herself and her parents. Therefore, she has no modicum of control over any of them – although not much of an issue for the more easy-going ones like her Air affinity, it could be potentially disastrous for her other Affinities, and what they alone are capable of doing.
- Argumentative – if she doesn’t like a plan, she’ll let the others know about it. Even if she can’t think of a better one herself, if Mia has a bad feeling about something, she’ll let others know. Paired with her stubbornness, she may be likely to go off and do her own thing without telling anyone, as she thinks it will work.
The Other
| Theme Song |
Quiet – Light
” So here's my heart, and here's my mouth
And I can't help if things come out
'Cause there are words I want to shout
But maybe I'll stay low
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet
With you”
” So here's my heart, and here's my mouth
And I can't help if things come out
'Cause there are words I want to shout
But maybe I'll stay low
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet
With you”
| Extra Information |
Wishes she could have brought her pet cat Cthulu III with her, but he had a tracking chip put in him. So, chances are she’ll steal adopt a cat on the road and name it Cthulu IIII.
