[knighthawk]

Welcome to the H.I.V.E. Academy, shielded and beyond the reach of heroes. Here you can be trained securely in a moral vacuum to pursue your strengths with minimal repercussions.

Athena Morgan

Wraith

17

Female

Personality:

Athena, or Wraith as some would dub her, is quite like her icey appearance. She's cold, calculating and often insincere in her interests. Words can drip like swords from her tongue without her batting an eye. Often she finds herself muddled at the reactions of others. Their blatant emotions hold her with a child-like curiosity. She often enjoys pressing people to their emotional limits at any cost. Often fickle and rash in her decision making; Wraith will often find herself in some sort of sticky situation.

Quirks:

Compulsive liar
Hums when deep in thought
Collects portraits of strangers

Likes:

Surprises
Music
Adventures
Psychology
Books

Fears:

The dark
Large crowds
Loud sounds

History:

Birth is such an odd thing. Ones birth isn't a common topic or thought but Athena's often came to mind in the darkest of nights. She knew her birth had been that of an interesting thing and while she was there she knew nothing of the event other than what her parents and the papers printed. The tiny doll-like baby born to an upper class couple Myria and Thomas Morgan. Blessed with the complexion of pure snow and sparse wisps of silvery locks. Oh, yes. What a sight and shock it must of been but alas, the fame was fleeting as news of war and drama rocked her tiny world. While war barely ever touched the upper class the social scandals could leave wounds deep enough to mar even the sturdiest of souls. Perphaps that's where it began. The curiosity that burned deep within her heart.

A need to leave a ripple in the very earth beneath her. Now maybe it was her odd mannerisms that drummed up the tides of gossip or perhaps it was just her eerie appearance that no longer held the angelic charms as she grew. It was only after several voices had whispered into her parents ears and after several attempts to scorn her for her more distasteful interests did she learn to watch the world with careful eyes. She learned to pick up other people's body language. The way they stress vowels under staggering emotions and with practice; she began to mimic their behavior. Well, as well as she cared too which often was just long enough to find a crucial piece of information about themselves. Most of the time she'd sit on this information. Biding her time to unleash it in a clever game of political and social chess.

It took years for the community to find out who was leaving tiny bombs of their biggest fears and shames about. By then Athena had ready grown bored with pitting her neighbors and family against each other. She had moved onto more interesting experiments. Unfortunately for her these often left a bloody trail back to her. In an attempt to keep their status intact they shipped off their only daughter to an all girls academy. It's military-like structure did nothing to chip into the thick layer of indifference but only gave her new subjects to poke and prode as she pleased.

It wasn't too long before the academy was in the process of kicking her out and banning her from the premises when her parents receive a letter for H.I.V.E academy. Eager to keep their princess away from home they didn't even bother to look into the school. Instead she was just shuffled off from one place to the next.

Powers:

Psychic link
Athena is able to establish a mental bond with a person with whom she has physically come into contact with. From there she can enter their minds, specifically dreams, much like a ghost. She can manipulate the dreamscape to her will inflicting horror or pleasure with ease. To do so leaves her body completely unguarded and open as she falls into a meditative state.

Strengths:

Mentally astute
Naturally logical and able to lead without hesitation

Weaknesses:

She has very little physical strength. Essentially, she's super squishy when it comes to physical combat.
Using her power for too long leaves her drained and weak.

What's the age range?

[knighthawk]

Reserving for CS. Also, do you prefer rl photos or hand drawn ones? I know some GMs are not picky while others are.

@HecateProxy

Since this is fairly comic based, I'd prefer hand drawn but photos if you have to. But I'm not 'this picture shatters my suspense of reality' types.

What's the age range?

@Oliver

Good question; As it is an academy, I'm going to aim for a window of 16-22 with exceptions from time to time.

[ProxyInc]

CS is up. Let me know what I need to fix or expound upon. @knighthawk

[Ashevelendar]

@knighthawk I'll have a CS up today :)

[Dannyrulx]

CS being written. Quick question, would it be OK for me to have him vaugley related to Doc Ock? The whole point of him originally is that he's basically stripped out the AI that made Doc go mad, and then made tons of modifications to prove that he was better than the original.

@Dannyrulx

Marvel versus DC but comicbook inspiration or dimensional shift is fine.
