! - DISCLAIMER - !
When you become part of this RP, you're in it for a long haul. This RP is so in-depth and incredibly rich with lore, that it took me a whole day just to write out the bios for several NPCs. This RP is NOT a one-shot. This RP takes lots of time, effort and heart... but in the end, it's all worth it. Just make sure you're also willing to put that in too. Thank you very much!

Historical Context

Historical Context

Ever since the dawn of Time, early humans were nothing but primates that barely wandered beyond caves or rudimentary shelters. However, it wasn't until much later on in the Human Timeline in which the Gods and Goddesses from other dimensions often walked among mankind, granting them knowledge, evolutionary prowess and even special powers. Since then, humans evolved to what we are now, and such gods and goddesses that walked among us long ago were worshipped as such. Even humans with such powers bestowed upon them by other devine powers were worshipped as well, such as that of Jesus Christ. Since then, these powered individuals, known today as Metahumans, have popped up in history incredibly often, and are often described as either 'divine souls' or 'unholy abominations'. While they consistently popped up in history and cultures all around the world, people read them as folklore, and continue to do so to this day.

The only accurate reports of metahumans came during World War I, where they often blended in with soldiers who had to participate in the brutal trench warfare that ensued. Survivors and Veterans of WWI often told stories of metahumans saving their unit from certain death, as well as metahumans on the other side of the trenches raining death upon the battlefield as well. While they were dismissed as delusions back then, governments began secretly recording such incidents. They weren't very prolific until World War II, where the Nazis took great interest in metahumans in order to further their 'Master Race' agenda. Since then, metahumans were often rounded up and thrown into camps in countries under Nazi occupation, and were tortured and experimented on. While some of them fought on the side of the Allies and the Soviets in battle, helping them win back significant ground, many went into hiding and fought in small resistance groups. After World War II, some of the surviving metahumans vowed to never let such things happen again, and formed a group known today as the Powerbound Alliance, and sometime in the 1950s, established their roots in Costa Rica.

The Powerbound Alliance soon flourished since then. Having established their roots in Costa Rica, they were able to establish close ties with the government and have great relations with the general public there. As the Powerbound Alliance built up there, however, the Cold War was in full swing. Both the Soviets and Americans discovered the Nazi's secrets regarding metahumans, and both nations tried to create their own in order to overpower each other. The Space Race was in full swing, using the many talents of metahumans to help launch humanity into space. Aliens were also discovered, and the existence of multiple dimensions were too, and the Cold War continued to rage on into the 60s and 70s. While the Korean War and Vietnam War occurred, as well as other conflicts that the Soviet Union participated in, most of those operations were near failures, and both the Soviet Union and the United States continued their projects in regards to space exploration and metahuman research. At this time, some nations gained their independence, one notable country being known as Kurdistan, one that started off as a small weak developing country. During this time, during the Cold War, the Powerbound Alliance undertook various operations all around the world, helping out people in developing countries, as well as assisting weak nations in fighting against warlords and terrorists. As a result, the Powerbound Alliance grew, and established safehouses and small outposts all around the world.

However, in 1991, the Soviet Union has collapsed due to economic stress and many nations demanding independence. While the United States didn't fare so well itself either, it was able to recover from the large mess known as the Metahuman Cold War. Since then, while nations rebuilt and newly-formed countries dug themselves out of the dirt, the Powerbound Alliance set their eyes on the newly-formed country known as Kurdistan, a nation that had a very progressive foundation compared to most of its neighbors. As a result, the Powerbound Alliance established its roots there as well while its Costa Rica branch did mostly humanitarian work in the wake of the Cold War, as well as in the wake of various storms and hurricanes that ravaged Central and North America. While many metahumans on the American and Soviet side of the cold war either joined the Powerbound Alliance, became superheroes or lived their lives in peace, some formed groups of their own with various agendas in the dark, while various conflicts took place at various borders, or within them. Over time, nations deposed of their tyrannical rulers, and people around the world became more free.

After most of the conflicts around the world have subsided (to a degree), the Information Age was on the rise, and technology was taking the world by storm in the form of computers, smartphones, and the internet. Citizens all around the world became distracted, and while many world governments were working on diplomatic solutions to gain allies and resources, the Powerbound Alliance flourished, participating in humanitarian efforts all around the world. After establishing their roots in Kurdistan, the Powerbound Alliance made their operations global, and included non-metahumans into their ranks after many valiant soldiers from various military groups offered to help the Powerbound Alliance after the metahumans helped them out in various conflicts around the world. At that time, the Powerbound Alliance founded the Powerbound Academy, a secluded high-school/college situated within the mountains of Oregon (United States). Since then, the world was relatively at peace, and with the United States and Russia working together to fight various threats all around the world, the Powerbound Alliance flourished as well.

It's 2024 right now. Kurdistan and Costa Rica are prosperous nations as a result of the involvement of the Powerbound Alliance, and various other developing nations have also prospered as a result of proper trade and reconstruction. However, a growing threat is rising within some countries, and various metahumans are starting to take power in such countries and factions. The world's nations are well aware of the threat that other dimensions might pose to the planet, and are working together to prepare for that. And while various technology is still taking the world by storm, it's best that the citizens of Earth do not know the threats that loomed beyond the darkness...

Setting Context

Setting Context

There are various settings all over the Powerbound Universe, and the context regarding them would be explained here. The characters found within them, however, will be found in the Character Tab. Below is the map to the Oregon Hub area, which has the main settings that will be visited most often. Three of the main ones include the Powerbound Academy, Hastings and Oured. More settings will be added to the map, and added to this list once they are discovered.

Northern Oregon, United States

Powerbound Academy

The Powerbound Academy is really a massive estate high in the mountains near Hastings. It originally belonged to someone else back in the 1970s, but the place was put up for sale once the owner moved to Hawaii. It was purchased in the 2000s, and it oversaw a major overhaul, including but not limited to seperate housing and maintenance buildings in different parts of the property. The large span of property has a whole lot of land up in the mountains, and is surrounded by forests all around. The mansion was converted into a Superhero School in the matter of a few years, and its features show.

The Powerbound Academy has:

A massive property that is twenty acres, which includes a large training course within the woods, a large open field in the front and in the back, a large garden in the back, and a large and long U-shaped driveway that leads to a gate with a guardhouse. The guardhouse itself is bulletproof and has an escape route that leads into a bunker below.

An entire section of the building is dedicated to various classrooms. Most of the classrooms are made for Math, History and English classes, though there are many classes built for science, technology and other hands-on studies. Most of the classrooms have desks that are situated in a circle, with an opening to where the teacher would do their thing. Most of the time there's books, dry erase boards and computer stations along the walls as well. The science classrooms, however, have their own dedicated lab stations, as well as their own dedicated equipment.

Another section of the building is dedicated to the living quarters of the staff and students, with some of it going underground. The living quarters are just a series of fancy hallways, the hallways themselves a series of doors on either side. The living spaces behind the doors are a standard bedroom setup, where only one person would stay in. Typically bedrooms would have a large bed, a desk and a bookshelf, as well as anything else that the person who stays in there might desire (though certain things may be prohibited). The hallways each have their own bathrooms and smaller kitchens.

A massive industrial-grade kitchen with a large cafeteria on the other side of it. The cafeteria has windows that look out into the back of the campus, and lead out there as well. The kitchen has their own freezers and pantries that are often fully stocked. The kitchen is off-limits to students, though.

A large theatre room/auditorium area. It's the largest room in the entire building, and it comes with comfortable theatre-grade seats, with a stage up at the front with a removable podium. Behind the stage is a massive projector screen. All around the walls are speakers, and there's a small projector room as well.

There's a large security room where a few guards chill out at. It has its own closet where the maintenance tools and janitor supplies are stored at, and it also has its own weapons locker. Along the walls are quite a few security desks with many screens that monitor the property. Often times they are left alone or have an STC member stationed there. When unmanned it will send automatic updates to authorized personnel.

A recreation room, complete with pool tables, a few pinball machines, and a few old arcade machines from the 80's. There's also couches with TVs that have PCs (#pcmasterrace), and the latest Viruix Omni treadmills for folks to enjoy their fully immersive VR experiences in.

An observation deck, in the tower-like part of the building, complete with windows that look out towards the mountains and Hastings. Has a few couches, chairs and bookcases.

A fully-stocked library, complete with many bookshelves containing books with lots of information regarding Supernaturals and World History, as well as a few sitting chairs, couches, and a few desks with desktop computers on them.

There are a few EMP-resistant bunkers situated 100-feet below ground, though they are normally closed off and used for emergencies only. They have weapons, nonperishables and other such things to help survive a doomsday scenario.

A large garage that has a delivery truck, a small school bus, a few security vehicles and vehicles that belong to the building's staff.

A small parking lot at the side of the property where students and some of the staff would park at.

A long, gated private drive with a few older vehicles parked on the side. There are cameras situated in the trees to monitor who goes in and goes out. The drive is long and leads down into Hastings.

RULES

0. Listen to GM - I know this is obvious but my word is law. However, please do not hesitate to PM me for absolutely anything, as I am lonely sometimes and I do not want to be a dick. xD

1. Have Common Sense - Rules are same as that on the site. However, excessive cursing is allowed in my book as long as it is IC dialogue. However, please follow all site rules if you don't want to get in trouble.

2. Have Respect - I will not tolerate any rudeness, drama or anything else along those lines OOC. IC drama/disrespect/rudness is cool, especially if you guys work it out OOC amicably. OOCly, please take all of that drama to the PMs instead and work it out. I will have none of it. Also, if you do have a problem with me, as I said above, please talk to me about it, and I will try my best to get it all sorted out, okay?

3. Have Decency - Please keep all interactions T for Teen, PG-13 or whatever it is in other countries. While I am fine with mature interaction, this site isn't, so I don't want to get banned. Please keep all of the excessive swearing in IC dialogue, and keep all sexual contact PG-13. Use a timelapse of some sort to skip past mature scenes, and if you guys want to play it out, please play it out via PMs or in the Discord chat. Also please refrain from using offensive/derogatory terms OOCly as well.

4. Have Verbosity - Please, for the love of GOD, post with at least three paragraphs of non-dialogue/action! Details, descriptions, all of that is absolutely appreciated, we really want to know what your character is thinking, feeling, doing, all of that! The more details you can put in a post, the better. However, do not bloat out posts with actions from other characters, just react to them, and put in what is needed for us to get a good idea of what's going on with your character and what's inside his/her head. This is a High-Casual RP, so I suggest you bring your A-Game! :D Also collab posts made in between players are totally allowed and encouraged.

5. Have Good Attendance - While I don't want you to check in every single day of the week, that would be appreciated though. Please post at least twice or three times a week. The more frequent, the better. That way we don't have to wait for posts from other characters. I'm a very frequent poster so you don't have to worry about me. However, if you're going to be away from the site for a bit, please let us know ahead of time in the OOC and we'll skip, and let you pick up once you get back. If the RP stagnates, I'll either suggest a timelapse or let people post flashbacks to give their character(s) some more backstory.

6. Have Good Character...s - Like I said in the interest check, this is all on a case-by-case character-by-character basis. In general, aim for characters that have powers that make them strong enough to take on common enemies (or not), and interesting enough to make the character seem more original and fun to follow... a character that would get us hooked. I'd rather not have a character that turns intense conflicts into cakewalks, or simply destroys the dramatic tension by simply breezing through the situation with OP powers. Doing that would take the fun out of everything and ruin it for everyone involved. Character rules are listed in full below.

7. Have Fun! :D - And please enjoy the RP. If you have any suggestions, questions, comments, concerns, anything, please PM me for whatever reason. I have no qualms talking to people and I would love suggestions for the RP, whether they be for scenarios, villains, and other stuff. Have fun!

In short, please be reasonable and respectful in this thread. That's all. :)

CHARACTER RULES

Good characters are a must, and diversity is incredibly appreciated. Please take your time, and please put a whole lot of love into your characters, so that way everyone has a good idea of who's who, and what kind of people they are. However, the characters need to be approved before they are put under the CHAR tab. Please mention me so I can read over and approve your character. Lower-tiered characters (like that with powers that are not that powerful yet but are powerful later on) is encouraged, but not required. There are also those playable races:

- Metahumans (Superhumans)
- Normal Humans*
- Aliens*
- Synthetics*
- Other Supernaturals**

* = You have to have a good reason why you're playing them, and a complete history, backstory, details and all of that are a must. Discussion is encouraged.
** = There are some other mythical beings out there that exist that I can't put in this list as of yet. These require a good explanation as to what they are so I don't have to do a whole lot of research in order to just check one character. Also, these types are also strongly discouraged as I do not want this RP to turn into an episode of Supernatural. XD

Here are the playable alignments:

- Lawful Good
- Neutral Good
- Chaotic Good
- Lawful Neutral
- True Neutral
- Chaotic Neutral*
- Lawful Evil**
- Neutral Evil**
- Chaotic Evil**
- Lawful Stupid*
- Chaotic Stupid*

* = These alignments are for fun/funny secondary characters who play as comic relief, or for people who would mindscrew their enemies/other players. However, please do not use those type of characters to derail the RP or to destroy the RP in of itself.
** = While villains are optional, they cannot be the sole character of a player. When playing a villain, one must maintain lots of contact and communication with me so plots won't intersect and crash into each other.

Please do not make god-mode sues or any other super-powerful character that can make the combat part of these RPs extremely easy. I want to give them challenges and struggles. Cakewalks are boring and frustrating. Again, put lots of detail and lots of love into your character sheets, otherwise they won't be accepted. Below are the powers that are banned from use in the RP.

Banned Powers

1. Powers people have already made for their CSes, as it would make the RP a little less fun. Variety is the spice of life <3
2. Anything that make any conflict a cakewalk for the character. They can become more powerful to the point where it will be a cakewalk for them, but don't make them start off too powerful. This can be overridden with behavior (like the person is a pacifist and will show restraint to not kill his enemies... a bad example but an example nonetheless). Depends.
3. Any power that will destroy planets/universe/moons/cities/whatever.
4. Any power that will destroy the RP itself, whether it would halt the RP or just make the RP no longer fun.
5. I don't know, just whatever I see that could cause a whole lot of problems. I'm GM, and my word is LAWWWWWW!!!

Please mention me whenever you put up your character sheet. When this RP is labelled "FULL", I will NOT accept any characters under any circumstances. However, if there's a shortage of characters, I will allow people to join in progress, but you would have to talk with me about that first so the process would be seamless. Do NOT post your characters under the characters tab until I approved them. Multiple characters are allowed, but no more than 2 per person.

Also please choose a color for your character, so you can use it for dialogue posts. To do this properly, paste this character sheet in Notepad, and replace all of the "???" with the hex number of your color. Also, delete the space in between the [ hr]'s so they'll work in the post.

POSTING RULES

• The main storyline progresses when the GM/Co-GMs post. While interaction between characters is appreciated, please don't skip ahead of the GMs as their pace may slow for a variety of reasons. (You can with express permission though if you're working on a collab that takes place somewhere else ahead of time).
• You can only post when there is at least three posts in between when you posted, and the next one. If the RP stagnates after 1 or 2 posts, feel free to move it along.
• You MUST @mention the author that your character is interacting with, so they know who their characters would respond to.
• Please do not mention someone who you aren't actually interacting with. It confuses people.
• If you are being interacted with by someone, respond to them when/if you can.
• If you are going to be inactive, please let us know ahead of time, so the RP won't stagnate if someone else is waiting for you to post. If the RP does stagnate and you don't report in, we will skip you and declare you MIA.

All of your posts should follow a similar format in order to easily keep track of the RP and what's going on. Remember to remove the space in between the [ hr], because if I did that myself it won't show up properly below!

Here is the posting format. Please use this. Remember to put the []'s around whoever you're mentioning so they won't miss your post. If you make a mistake, please mention them in the OOC since edited mentions do not work.

More coming soon.

[BogeyDope]

! - ATTENTION ALL UNITS - !

The OOC is now up! Before you write your character, however, make sure you have read ALL of the rules! And for the love of god, please do NOT post in the CHAR tab until I have approved your character!

All of the rules, as well as all of the information regarding the setting is listed up there. Please read through it and take it into consideration when making your character.

The IC will start once everyone's ready. The IC will start with some historical context for an opening, and then will start with the Orientation of the new school year from the Academy's headmaster, and by then you can introduce your characters, as well as their motivations and mood, with them sitting at orientation, and we can all go from there. However, we can open the RP at a different point in time if you'd like.

@mention me if you guys have any questions, comments or concerns, or if you're submitting a CS!

Thank you all a bunch! :D

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@AbandonedIntel My only complaint is the sheet... Do we really need a list of their personality traits, a written personality, fears, and their likes and dislikes when they can all honestly be put into the personality section (or you can cut the personality section altogether with all these extra sections lol)?

[BogeyDope]

@Mr Allen J Yeah the CS is a little old. I'll change that right now.

[BogeyDope]

Okay guys the CS was just updated. I simply just condensed the "Personality" part to make it easier for all of us... as typically the personality really shows in writing rather than in bios.

[Nallore]

@AbandonedIntel I'll be working on my character tomorrow after work. :)

[Chao]

@AbandonedIntel Is here.

[BogeyDope]

Testing...

[Chao]

Will finish up tomorrow!

Ezra Jonas Collins

"Don't act like we're pals. I barely know you."
-Ezra Collins

Way Too Good To You

---

| Full Name |
Ezra Jonas Collins.

| Nickname |
Cole, Ezzy.

| Alias |
N/A. (For now, at least.)

| Age |
19.

| Species |
Human. (Metahuman.)

| Gender |
Male.

| Sexuality |
Unknown.

| Alignment |
Chaotic Good.

| In-Depth Appearance |
Ezra is a Caucasian male with brown hair and brown/hazel eyes. His height is 5'10" and his weight is 156 lbs. His body build is slim and athletic somewhat. He is the normal male for someone his age. He could be considered handsome by some people. He usually has an buzz cut but when his hair grows out, it's not that big and not that small.

Ezra likes to wear T-shirts and jeans, and casual sneakers. Basically a normal clothing. When he wears jackets, he wears his leather brown one.

| Abilities |
Plasma Manipulation - Ezra can form plasma with his hands in possibly many ways. This is a mixture of gas manipulation and ionization, as he creates highly ionized gas.

Plasma Projection - He can form plasma projectiles, and fire them at people. This could kill or stun, depending how much he charges his attack. It doesn't take a lot to charge it enough to wound someone fatally or non fatally as well. He can also form plasma constructs, but at the moment, he doesn't know how to.

| Limitations |
Fatigue - Ezra can use too much of his power and drain himself to the point of dropping unconscious or if even using too much, ending up in at least a coma or worse. This is why Ezra is afraid to use a lot of his power. So he can't form a explosion or giant blast without weakening and injuring himself badly.

Breakable -Ezra's constructs can be easily destroyed, and are not that durable at all. A few hits to one of them and it would break down in an instant unfortunately.

Counter Affect -His blasts can be countered with any other superpower that involves projectiles. If someone that shot ice or fire out of their palms and if it connected with Ezra's plasma blasts, the plasma blast would be destroyed and the other projectile would go right through it into him.

| Equipment |
Ezra carries a phone, clothes, and a switchblade. He stole the clothes, but got the iPhone before his parents learned of his powers. He also stole the switchblade, as a weapon in case it is not necessary to draw attention with his powers.

| Personality |
Ezra is a quick thinker and very clever. He's doesn't like to speak to people a lot. Not to mention, it is very hard for him to trust someone, even if they have proven countless times that they could be trusted. Ezra prefers solitude and not being near people because of this, as he's really scared of messing up when it come's to talking.

He can be very patient, but he has a limit when it comes to something personal. Like people who always complain and never try to think or do anything the slightest bit about the thing they are complaining about. Or spoiled kids. He really, really, hates spoiled people.

Ezra is also quite rebellious. He does what he feels like doing, and doesn't like to be told what to do or when to do it. But if someone gains his trust, he can become very loyal and friendly to that so-called person. That is, if that person can get through his paranoia.

Ezra is scared for his life most of the time. And is very paranoid and very easy to be frightened. He doesn't like that he doesn't know what will happen next. And he can grow very close to someone if he knows them for a while, and if they die, Ezra would not take it well at all.

Ezra can be very stubborn and not understanding. It could take some of the most simple things to say, and he could not understand it. He is very scared of dying, and is a little cowardly of deadly situations. He will try to do what's right though, even if it may have a possible chance of him dying.

He is sometimes absent-minded, if he was wearing glasses he might not even realize he was. He trails off in sentences sometimes, and bites his lip hard to the point of it being bloody when nervous. He can get confused easily about something he doesn't know, even if he is clever, it might take him time to wrap his mind around something.

| Place Of Origin |
Toronto, CA.
Ezra moved to Manhattan with his family before Powerbound Academy.

| Family |
Amanda Collins - Mother, Aaron Collins - Father, Taylor Collins - Brother. (He is not close with any of the three.)

Peter Wolfe - Close Friend (unkown/missing), Elena Jones - Friend (deceased), Reyna Greenfield - Friend (deceased), James Parker - Friend (deceased.)

| History |
Ezra never really knew about his powers until the age of 14.

He was born normally, with a normal family. No one in that family ever thought he would become one of those 'things. But his older brother Taylor had known something was off with him, even though Ezra had never done anything to show he was a meta, Taylor always just disliked him and the way he acted. His family had always expressed their sheer hatred for Metahumans, especially Ezra's father. He never understood why they hated them so much, and when he asked them. They never exactly had an answer, but just kept on saying different negative things about them. Like how they murder normal people on sight, and how they steal, and how they act. Ezra felt like it was a worse version of racism.

Ezra's life was completely normal. Until he was in middle school, when he was being bullied by a bunch of taller and bigger kids. He had lost it, and with furious rage, he blasted them all back with a blue light, a blue energy that many would call Plasma.

He had killed all of them and some of the students around him. Ezra was scared of himself and what society would do to him. So before the police and his parents learned that he caused the mass murders at his middle school, he ran off, not to be seen for quite a while. Ezra ran by foot across the United States, usually stealing vehicles and finding his way out of trouble, usually through his powers. The only thing he really knew what and how to do was steal food and drinks, and fight. He was afraid and alone until he had met with a group of other outcast Metahumans, and they treated him like family. They would basically do anything they could to survive, and as a result, Ezra felt somewhat safe.

The group was made up of four people, including Ezra. The leader of them was James, a tall dark skinned kid with black short hair, he was the oldest as well. The second in command was Elena, a punk-ish teenager who always seemed to complain. There was also a 12 year old named Reyna, and the last was the youngest. An 8 year old named Peter. Ezra and Peter grew close, to the point where Peter was Ezra's little brother in a way. He vowed to protect Peter at all costs, even if that meant sacrificing himself. Ezra spent a whole lot his life in this metahuman gang, and soon enough he turned 18. Things were looking great, he was now almost grown and in the group he was a third leader. He then learned more about society, and was less naive.

Unfortunately, nothing great lasts forever. While running across town, the police had found them and attempted to arrest them. James and Elena didn't stand for this, and started using their powers against the police. The police drawn their weapons and open fired, and James and Elena dropped dead. The police then switched their aim to the children, and fired upon them as well, and as a result, Reyna was shot in the head. Ezra and Peter were terrified, and they both ran off for their lives. The sorrow from their three dead friends caught up with them afterwards.

However, Ezra and Peter lost each other, as they had split when the chaos began. For a while, Ezra had no hope.

In his journeys, however, Ezra learned from a public library's computer, that in Northern Oregon, a safe haven for Meta Humans known as Powerbound Academy was open and accepting. From there, Ezra ran and ran, til his legs felt like they could break off at any second. It was a long and tiresome journey, but when he arrived, the destination was worth it. Ezra was finally at peace as he had found someplace safe, but he wasn't trusting of anyone there. And the only thing he really cared about, was one day finding Peter.

| Full Name |

Charlotte Bellerose

N/A.

| Alias |

Caster.

| Age |

18

| Species |

Human

| Gender |

Female

| Sexuality |

Straight.

| Alignment |

Neutral-Good.

| In-Depth Appearance |

Charlotte is a "healthy" girl. From years of lazing around, gorging herself on sweets, and not getting exercise, the girl has definitely put on a bit of baby-fat. She's got a bit of a gut that's surrounded with stretch marks, and other unattractive features. This body weight has certainly given her arms and legs a little thickness, and her thighs have greatly widened. However, she could say that it has made a normally flat-chested, thin-as-a-rail, girl curvier, as her bust (42E) and butt have greatly been enhanced. Her body-weight have given her body an apple-shape, where her chest, waist, and hips have similar measurements. Though, what stops her from being a complete slob is the fact that she's a few inches above average (at five-eight), and she's been working out to lose this weight. She's to the point where she isn't morbid... but, still fat enough to attract a chubby chaser.

Charlotte is French, if the name didn't give it away. A pureblooded French-woman to her name. She has an air of nobility around herself because of the way she walks, and what she wears. However, she is prim and polite at all times, and instead emanates a friendly aura rather than one you'd attribute to French. Her skin is pretty pale from the lack of sunlight. Charlotte's hair is a dark-brown color, and is styled in a braid.

Her outfit is pretty classy, and school-girl-y (Other people have said that she dresses like a Librarian). She wears a very modest button up shirt, with a skirt of some short as legwear. She's pretty much blind without her glasses. Often times wearing jeans, and long pants that cover up a lot of leg.

| Abilities |
Elemental-Imbuing.

Charlotte has a pretty unique power, with concentration she can infuse anything she can get her hands on with a Metahuman ability relating to manipulating the elements. It'll take her some time to do so, but once she does, she can give anything a power. She could create a stick that has pyrokinetic abilities, a book that can shoot lightning, and so on. Whenever she does this, the object she imbued her power with will change appearance. Depending on the element she utilized, the object can be surrounded by fire, made out of stone, or surrounded with raging winds. However, regardless of what she imbues an object with, it'll be light as it normally is to her, and the flames or electricity won't bother her. All because of an aura that defends herself from it's direct effects. She limits her ability to only imbuing her staff with superpowers rather than random objects she can get her hands on. Imbuing objects with powers takes time. This power is reliant on what she has a personal connection with, which alters the time necessary to imbue. Her staff is, for example, is very treasured to her, so it'd take a few moments to imbue with an elemental ability. It'd also be easy for her to imbue her favorite book, cellphone, etc. While it'd take a few minutes to give a random stick on the ground superpowers. This relies on movements, she can't just hold a stick and expect a fire-storm to come out! She has to wave it around to do what she wants it to do.

At the moment, she has only three possible elements at her disposal, and can learn more:

• Plant-Manipulation.
  
  Charlotte has a connection to plants by imbuing objects with plant powers. It'll be coated with vines and roots, and other flowers. She can sense them in the immediate area, and instinctively gain information about them (which part of their life cycle they're in, what kind of plant they are, etc, etc) long as she's holding the object. Now, Charlotte can do the usual manipulation of plants other than herself. She can freely manipulate the growth and size, and exercises precise control over them. Making them grow to exponential levels in mere seconds. She can control wood, vines, plants, moss and fungus, and parts of the plants, such as leaves, seeds, fruits and flowers. She can use the plants around her to both attack and defend herself from harm. Not too much to describe here, since you should already know what she can do. This is the ability she knows how to use the best.

• Air-Manipulation.
  
  The object will be surrounded with raging air-currents, no changes to outward appearance, but it's definitely noisy. Charlotte has the power over the mighty winds. Pretty simple if you watched Avatar the Last Airbender. He can throw air in a variety of forms; a gust to knock someone down, tornadoes. But she can do plenty of out of the box things too. Such as telekinesis by bending the air around an object, use it to shoot objects off with more force, and minor sound manipulation. It also gives her the ability to flyyyy like an eagle. Not super good at it because she just learned it. If you're asking how all this works: it just works.

| Limitations |

Now, while Charlotte's ability is quite incredible, she is no where near as powerful as most standard elemental users. Her control lacks the precision and power of a dedicated elemental-type, and nothing will be able to change that. She is more of a jack-of-all trades, she can do a lot, but not as good. Now, it takes a little while before Charlotte can imbue an object with an element of choice. It depends on Charlotte's emotional connection to the object. If it's something close to her (such as her staff) then it'll take a few moments. If it's a random stick she picked up off the street, it'll take a little while. Which means if she's separated from her staff, she'll be put at odds. Oh, yeah, she can only imbue one object at a time with a single element. Though, she can just delete the imbuing and replace it with another element of choice. And just for balance reasons; she can't imbue the same object with different elements, doesn't know how to use them right off the bat, and if the object is broken it loses it's imbue.

| Equipment |

Charlotte always carries around a special staff that was custom-made for her. It's made out of a ebony-wood that's been painted black. It's around six-feet tall exactly, and it has metal balls made out of a painted gold on each end. It can be used as a blunt weapon, but it's mostly used so Charlotte can infuse it with an element. It's easy for her to infuse powers with it.

| Personality |

Charlotte is a very dedicated and hard-working young girl. Very studious, and ambitious. She looks ahead towards the future instead of lingering in the past. Though, she is fairly timid, and clumsy. She is pretty excitable, and reckless... which leads to a deadly impulsiveness. While Charlotte has the best interests at heart, she tends to be overbearing, and puts her own feelings above her friends, or not think about the long term consequences of her actions. Thus, not even consider what she's doing is wrong. This overzealous attitude is most likely her biggest hurdle. Also, Charlotte has a great interest in weapons such as swords and spears, and is often seen spouting trivia of them.

| Place Of Origin |

Marseille, France.

| Family |

Adalyn Bellerose - Mother
Acel Bellerose - Father
Blanchefleur Bellerose - Sister
Blondelle Bellerose - Sister
Bonnie Bellrose - Sister

| History |

Charlotte was born as the daughter of two French politicians that are supporters of the Powerbound Alliance. Two of the people that helped bring prominence of the organization in France. The Bellerose family has a wealth of their own from international trade, so they were already born well off. Charlotte was born in Marseille as the oldest sister of a group of four (Oddly enough, all her sisters names start with B except for her). They were born well off, and had all the money to make their dreams come true as her parents raked in the dough. As Charlotte grew up, she showed a surprising interest in sports with weapons because of her fascination with the sort. Fencing was a fairly easy to pick up because of the many fencing camps in Europe (She was able to get top of the line fencing camp, and came back nearly a master). Though, she had a niche interest in Bōjutsu, and was able to find a class, fortunately, in the staff-based fighting style.

Once Charlotte was sixteen however, her Metahuman ability manifested. It happened while she was practicing her Bōjutsu, and the stick suddenly covered in roots. She looked at it in surprise, but the roots disappeared. Over the next few days, Charlotte had incidents with these roots until she figured out that she had developed a power of some sort. She figured out that she could imbue objects with superpowers - plant based at the time. She told her parents, and they set her up to join the Powerbound Academy in America... but, Charlotte declined, having no interest in superheroics. Instead, she trained with her ability on her own until she "unlocked" a new power: Air Manipulation. Suddenly, she could cast tornados, and ride on her Bo as if she was a witch riding a broom.

It was a golden age that came to a tragic-end, however. One night, while her parents were sleeping, an assassin came by and killed both of them. The assassin vanished without a trace, so it was impossible for the Bellerose siblings to tell what even happened until morning came, and Charlotte's younger sister came to see why her parents didn't get out of bed. Her sister was traumatized, and the Police Nationale were called.

A thorough investigation took place since it was a French politician, after all, but no leads were found, and the Police Nationale essentially had given up. Which left Charlotte with a shattered family, and no where to go... but, she was contacted by a mysterious benefactor known only as the "Spider." Charlotte met one of his cohorts in a sleazy French club, where she was informed by the assassination came from the very people that her parents supported: Powerbound. That it was an inside job by corrupt Powerbound Agents.

Charlotte was given definite proof, and was told that if she wants to get justice for her parents, she will have to join the Powerbound Academy and spy on them for her benefactor (For their help, of course). Charlotte didn't want anything to do with Powerbound, but had no choice but to if she was going to get to the bottom of this. To America she goes.

Charlotte is really good at Fencing, and Bōjutsu.

| In-Depth Appearance |

Now, Fiona has a very distinct appearance to her, indeed. She looks like a hybrid of a human being and an insect - with her appearing leaning on human so that she doesn't appear as monstrous as a hybrid would imply. She is covered, from head to toe, in a thin, olive-green, exoskeleton that makes up a light armoring around her being. With segments here and there, and less armor in the joints, she can move around like a human would. To put it simply, Fiona is anatomically the same as a human being, except with an exoskeleton - No extra limbs. Fiona has the traits of a grasshopper, if one was versed in the insectoid realm. On the top of her head are two antennas that are thin and look much like long strands of hair - they are nearly her body height in length.

She has two, very large, black, almond-shaped, grasshopper eyes - that appear close to humans. On the sides of her mouth are two mandibles that encompass her mouth when they're closed. Finally, her legs are much thicker, and capable of preforming powerful jumps (Or a kick in a fight). Moving on, Fiona's build is pretty slim, she's slender. Almost petite. I doubt she could even biologically gain visible body fat, or muscles. Her body-shape is roughly rectangle-shaped. Naturally, her legs are much longer than the rest of her body - disproportionately adding on a few inches to a girl that would be naturally be the average female height. Her arms are pretty standard length and proportionate to the rest of her body. Body is relatively scar free (Try scaring chitin!). A few marks here and there from some recent injuries, that would fade once she molts.

Face still humanoid, Fiona has an oval-shaped head, and vaguely European facial-features. Facial features blend neatly together, only having one exposed creek in order for her to move her jaw. She has a very small button nose with small nostrils right above her mouse. With her mouth being small and having very thin lips - along with human teeth. Her cheeks are smooth... I mean not in the texture way, in how they are. I should note that Fiona doesn't have ears - merely two dark holes where her ears should be. These holes are obscured by her hair. Fiona has a head of very curly orange hair (If you're asking how and why; yes). It's very well cleaned, and has a neat texture to it. Lets it flow, it hangs off her head onto her shoulders in a very messy hairstyle. Usually flying around as she moves (Especially when she jumps).

Fiona's voice sounds vaguely humanoid. It has a strange buzzing/chirping overtone that definitely sounds insectoid.

Fiona dresses very lightly... not in the slutty way, but dresses in such a manner that she doesn't get too restricted. With a body like hers, she has to wear clothes a few sizes extra, or else it'd get torn. The legs area is the biggest problem, since she can't properly move without using her legs. Sweat shorts and skirts tend to do the trick. Stuff that leave her legs free. As for style, Fiona has no style. She wears whatever she has access to, really. Colors, and decals, are completely irrelevant - only size are relevant. She'd wear nothing if it wasn't immodest. Fiona always has a large red bow on the top of her head. Right now... Fiona is in the middle of a crowded city, full of people who probably take note to a giant Cricket-woman walking about. So, she wears something to cover herself up. A large, light-grey, robe. It isn't inconspicuous, but it hides the person within. Which is why she tends to stick to the alleyways and night time.

| Abilities |
Adjustable Insect-Physiology.

Fiona has power of the chitinous arthropods known as the insects! Fiona has the power to shift her body in order to adapt traits from these creatures. Which is a very versatile ability in and of itself. Since there a ton of insects, each with their own purposes. For example, Fiona can transform into an ant and gain strength proportionate to her size. Adapting features of a Bee in order to gain wings and a stinger. And so on - the possibilities are endless. However, I should note that she can't completely transform into an insect. She'd be half-human, or have some humanoid features. Generally, insects have chitin armor, enhanced senses of some form, and extra limbs. Now, if Fiona adapts an insect, her body will transform in a blend of man and insect, usually with the anatomy of a human being. Depending on the form, she may get extra limbs, wings, etc. I could sit here and go on and on listing variables, but there's just too many. One thing I should note about Fiona is her way of transforming. Once she triggers a transformation, she will molt her original shell, and in the process, gain a new one with the new insects traits. Also, Fiona can force a molt in order to repair damage to her shell - in order to accommodate to her poor healing. However, it is possible for Fiona to regrow a lost-limb using molting, or transforming.

• Cricket-Physiology
  
  Fiona's base/default form. It gives her abilities consistent with the mighty grasshopper! The most obvious advantage is the boost to her jumping ability. She'll be able to jump high and far! It also comes with plenty of leg-strength so she can deliver one hell of a kick. She has fairly strong jaws that are natural to crickets. She can deliver a devastating bite. Crickets have pretty good senses, in fact. More than they're given credit for. Thus, Fiona's several senses are keen. Her vision is pretty good, and she's able to pick up movement much easier than humans are. It gives her a sort of enhanced reflexes, as she can see things faster and, thus, react to them quicker. Plus, she has night vision and can overall see better in low-light environments. Fiona has a great sense of hearing - she can hear from quite a distance away... using her legs (Really, look it up). She can pick up ultra-sonic sounds too. Her sense of smell is also enhanced through her antennas. They are very sensitive, enough so that she may feel around in her environment. It also allows her to pick up scents, so it counts as enhanced smell. Finally, Fiona has special hairs on her body that allows her to sense air movements and pressure changes. Which can allow her to detect if something is coming.

| Limitations |

There is no way for Fiona to turn her power off - it's always on. Which makes it obvious, in a public setting, that she's a Metahuman. Which means that she doesn't have the luxuries that the other characters have. She has to hide herself in order to buy anything, she'll stand out more. Fiona can only adapt one insect at a time, in order to transform into another insect, she must lose the traits of the current form. It takes her a little while in order to transform - depending on the form. A minor transformation should take no more than a minute, while an extreme transformation, at most, would take several minutes. Her Grasshopper form is her technical default form, she can't spend too much time outside of it, or she'll get tired and revert back. While this isn't much of a limit, the most she can spend outside her Cricket form is a day. If she drastically transformed, she'll get tired even faster.

Fiona cannot transform too often, she can do five minor transformations in a day. After one drastic transformation, she'll be stuck in her base form for a bit - even after her body recovers. should note that insects regenerate very slowly (if not at all). Internal damage can be a problem (However, damage to her exoskeleton can be fixed). She's going to be in trouble unless there's a healer on hand. Transforming will drain Fiona of her nutrients, and she'll be required to consume in order to recover. Her exoskeleton will always have a few exposed areas, mostly in the joints area - a swift blow there can cause Fiona some trouble. After a transformation (Any transformation, even molting), she will be vulnerable as her new shell hardens.

| Equipment |

None. It's a challenge to get Fiona to wear clthes.

| Personality |

People may first notice that Fiona is rather distant, and timid. Jumpy even. All of which is true, since Fiona isn't exactly a normal person - thus, she keeps her guard up when around people. Especially the normal looking kind who she doesn't know. She'll generally keep quiet, avoid eye-contact, and usually place herself far away from them. Hell, people pretty much peg her for an introvert the second they see her. Which, in a sense, isn't true, but I'll elaborate on that in a bit. Fiona is jumpy, and spastic - and not in the good way. If something frightens her she has two responses, the natural ones: Flight, or fight. Which means she's just as likely to lash out against someone than she is to run. Yet, Fiona is still very kind and empathetic. She won't hurt people in any way - and if she does, she'll definitely apologize for any wrongdoings. People may notice that Fiona is a very gentle-soul. She's calm, polite, and very softspoken - albeit, very nervous. When in a conversation, she rarely uses slangs, or swears, but talks like someone who's much more mature than she really is. Though, she can come off as aloof, or emotionally distant. Right off the bat, Fiona is rather closed off, and very choice-y of worlds. Fiona chooses to hide herself rather than show people what she really is - in both the literal and metaphorical way. This mostly stems from a insecurity, and fear.

Once someone manages to get her out of her shell (Pun totally intended), Fiona seemingly becomes a whole another person. Much less mature, and much more child-like (Whether that's a good or bad thing is subjective). Fiona is actually much more... chipper, around the people she's comfortable with. She's talkative, loud, her movements are spastic, and she simply loves to play. Fiona is extremely curious, and adventurous. True to insects, she likes to explore, find new places, and claim them for herself. She also wishes to become one with the experiences she missed out on. Such as romance, and having actual friends. Which means that she's in a rush to experience them. Though, she's not completely in-tune with how society and people really work - leaving her in the dark when it comes to some social norms. Which makes her certainly eccentric. She's not a great shoulder to cry on, nor will she ever seek out one. She'll mostly lock herself away until she feels better.

Deep down, she isn't the most emotionally secure. She fears that she has no place among humans - or normal people. What doesn't help is her phobia when it comes to humans - sometimes even Metahumans. She believes that people would disregard her for being, for a lack of a better term, an abomination of chitin and man. She hides this fear underneath the mask she puts on. She hopes to overcome this fear by finding her place in the Academy, and finding people that'd accept her. Though, she knows that she's unlikely to find anyone. Fiona's simply paranoid when around regular people - just waiting for the moment when they toss her away like the freak she is. Another internal gripe of her is that she just isn't strong enough. She's seen some of the powerhouses that the Baybridge has, and she's in awe of their power. Fiona simply has no choice but to rely on others for help. She is intimidated by Metahumans that are stronger than her, and will do her damn near best to stay on their good-side. Lest she wants to literally get crushed like a cockroach.

| Place Of Origin |

Pennsylvania, USA.

| Family |

Mother - Hopper Barrett
Father - Tracer Barrett
A variety of Brothers and Sisters (Due to the nature of their respective abilities, Hopper and Tracer have had plenty of children. There's at least nine of them (not counting Fiona) and each of them have a different insect-based ability.)

| History |

Fiona was born a wanderer... she was born in the rural outskirts of Pennsylvania, to a wandering group of freakish Metahumans known as the Outliers. They were Metahumans with such horrible physical deformities that it was difficult to integrate into life. They were either chased out of their previous life, or were unable to live the life they previously could. Either way, they bunched up and formed the Outliers. Fiona's parents were a group of Metahumans with insectoid powers. She was one of the many Barrett children who were born with such abilities. Fiona was born with her ability to be a cricket-girl! Though, as she grew up, she found out that she had an ability that put her above her siblings: the ability to adapt the physiologists and abilities of other insects.

The Outliers moved from one place to another, never sticking around too long, and never going too close to a city. Basically living off the land, or whatever they could steal. Though, it all changed for the worse when the Outliers were attacked by a mysterious villain group that wiped out most of them, and sent the rest running for the hills. Fiona herself was separated from her family... and came back to look from them to see no signs. To come roaming for ages now, going from one place to another, searching for them, living off the land, as she pointlessly searched for them. Until she gave up and chose to live as an outlier to society.

Traveling from one place to another, Fiona was pretty content with her life. Being a loan traveler that stayed away from the larger cities unless it was a necessity. Though, everything changed once a forest she was in was set ablaze. She had no idea what had happened... people with guns had stormed in, and turned the place into a battlefield against a pyrokinetic. Fiona was injured in the conflict, and passed out... only to wake up a few hours later in a hospital.

It was explained to her that she was taken by the Powerbound Alliance, and that the Alliance were going after a Pyrokinetic criminal, and she was caught in the crossfire, but helped just in time. At the same time, they offered an invitation to the Powerbound Academy.

Fiona had no where to go... so, she gladly accepted.

Fiona is very interested in nature due to living there for ages, and she is capable of living off the land.

| Full Name |
Natalya Ruslana Ivanov

| Nickname |

| Alias |
(The) Kraken

| Age |
18

| Species |
Synthetic

| Gender |
Female Octopuskin

| Sexuality |
Bisexual

| Alignment |
Lawful Good

| In-Depth Appearance |
The first, and probably most obvious thing about Natalya, are her giant tentacle arms. The purple tentacles connect at her shoulders, where they sort of mesh with her human flesh, creating a purple-skin color gradient. Her rather short stature only makes their large size seem even bigger. Her "biceps" are around double the size of an average female, with the tentacle tapering down to a pointed tip, which reach down to about her mid-calves. She has several large scars around her shoulder blades and neck area. The sides of Natalya's torso are covered in slits that serve as gills.

Before joining the Powerbound Academy, Natalya had very little clothing to her name. Her attire consisted of a torn, oversized sweater (Thanks Kanye!), along with a similarly tattered pair of sweat pants, both having several dark stains scattered among them. Due to literally living under a bridge, she had no choice but to wear whatever scraps she could find. The oversized sweater also helped conceal the two hideous masses of flesh that hung from her side. After joining the Academy, her wardrobe, while not torn anymore, is still quite basic. Anything beyond tank tops and black leggings will never make it into her wardrobe. Buttons are impossible, which means she won't ever be caught in a pair of jeans.

| Abilities |
Tentacle Arms: Natalya has been "gifted" with two very large and extremely gross tentacle arms. These have unique properties, and are much stronger and durable than that of a normal octopus tentacle. They are able to extend beyond their dormant reach, allowing them to reach up to 10 feet in length. The tentacles have been known to regenerate upon receiving injury, and even fully regenerate if severed from her body. However, this process can take several weeks. While being extremely useful for reaching that plate in the back of the cupboard, they also secrete a sticky substance with quite a putrid odor. This liquid helps maintain a specific moisture level required for the arms to function.

Gills: Natalya has also been "gifted" with the ability to breath underwater due to the very handy pair of gills on either side of her torso. These flaps of skin allow her to stay submerged for much longer than an average human, with her times reaching up to thirty minutes without surfacing.

| Limitations |
Temperature Sensitivity: Natalya's arms are quite susceptible to drastic temperature influxes. While the liquid secreted by the tentacles help maintain a stable temperature, if the distribution of this liquid is cut off, then her arms will begin to crack and shrivel up. They will not ever completely become useless, but the extreme pain caused by this render's Natalya essentially useless.

| Equipment |
She carries very little, even after joining the Powerbound Academy. The only valuable object she has is a golden pendant around her neck that her mother gave to her before passing away. Inside of her wallet, she keeps a picture of every one of her family members.

| Personality |
Natalya isn't quite reserved, but she also isn't the first to put herself in the front of the action, figuratively. Her rough past has transformed her from a once happy, cheerful young girl to a hardened, stoic individual. Having to stay hidden and endure harsh comments has developed a sense of self-consciousness.

| Place Of Origin |
Natalya was born in Moscow, Russia. She lived underneath the Coronado Bridge in San Diego, California after fleeing her home country.

| Family |

• Nadia Ivanov: Mother (1980-2020) Powerless.
• Ruslan Ivanov: Father (1974-Present) Powerless.
• Dmitri Ivanov: Brother (2008-2021) Powerless.
• Isaak Ivanov: Brother (2008-Present) Powerless.
• Alexandra Ivanov: Sister (2010-Present) Powerless.
• Nikolai Ivanov: Brother (2019-Present) Powerless.

| History |
Natalya was the oldest child, with her four other siblings all being born after her. Her two oldest brothers are twins, Dmitri and Isaak. Growing up, she lived a relatively normal life. She went to school, played in sports, and made friends. Her mother and father both had stable jobs. Her dad was a marine biologist, while her mother worked as a teacher at the local elementary school. Everything was perfect for the Ivanov's, at least on the outside.

Natalya's mother, Nadia Ivanov died of apparently natural causes in 2020, several months after giving birth to her last child, Nikolai. The family mourned, as any other family would. The kids never got the opportunity to see their mother after hearing of her death. All viewings were strictly forbidden by their father. No matter how much Natalya begged to see her mother before she was buried, her father refused. This caused a huge rift between Natalya and her father, one that has yet to be restored.

With the death of Nadia, the Ivanov's weren't ever really the same. Natalya's father withdrew them all from school and kept them locked up in the house nearly all day, every day. He didn't allow any outside contact. The kids were completely secluded from the rest of society. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning of their mistreatment. Natalya's father was mad with theories about the human body. He would go off on rants about how inefficient they were, and how they needed to find a way to revolutionize the way humans work.

He took Natalya, the oldest of the five kids, and began extensive experiments on her. He would restrain her for several days while she was attached to all kinds of tubes with fluorescent fluids pumping into her veins. Her father wouldn't give in to her screams. Instead, he chugged along, jotting down notes on his notepad and completely ignoring his daughter that he had previously loved so much. He had become a completely different man.

She had been locked in the basement for several months. No sunlight, no contact with her siblings, nothing. Just the spoon-fed porridge that her father brought down to keep her barely alive. Her father, for the first time in months, spoke. He told her that the day had come for them to complete the process. Without another word, he brought out a large bone saw. He immediately took to her arms, cutting them as close to the shoulder as he could. He had no means of obtaining an anesthetic for her, which only made the pain that much worse.

Within only a few weeks, her once human arms had been replaced by a pair of fully-grown octopus tentacles. Natalya's father had done it. After countless years of research, he had used his daughter as his guinea pig, and proved to be successful. Of course, in Natalya's eyes, he was a monster. Her father tried countless times to convince her that he had "improved" her. She wouldn't buy it.

Her resistance led to her being kept in the basement for several more months, as sort of a cooling off period. It didn't work. Her feelings of resentment turned to anger, which turned to spite. One day, when her father had come to give her a bowl of slop, she broke out. Her newfound strength allowed her to easily overpower the feeble old man and flee the city.

She fled to the nearest airport, where she was able to sneak onto the cargo hold of a plane headed for the United States. She was leaving her siblings behind with their monster of a father, which pained her the most. She had been able to save them for a few months by being her father's lab rat, but he would no doubt turn to the others for his insane experiments. Natalya promised herself that once she had time to reestablish herself as a normal human being, she would return to help rescue her siblings.

Once in California, Natalya took to living on the streets. Or rather, under the streets. She took up residency underneath the Coronado Bridge in San Diego, only going into the city in the dead of night, wearing extremely baggy clothing to conceal her arms. She knew that if anyone actually saw her arms, they would freak out and most likely call the police. Or animal control.

One day while reading the paper, among articles about the mythical "kraken" living in the water, she found out about the Powerbound Academy. Realizing that this might be her one and only chance to integrate herself back into society, she jumped at the opportunity.

Lyrah Maddox

-Martha Stout

The only

---

| Full Name |
Lyrah Madaline Maddox

| Nickname |
'Lye'

| Alias |
Wraith

| Age |
Eighteen

| Species |
Human

| Gender |
Female

| Sexuality |
Bisexual

| Alignment |
Chaotic neutral

| In-Depth Appearance |
Lyrah is very much a wisp of a girl, even at eighteen. Her bird like fragility is only accentuated by her slim, almost boyish, frame with only a slight give to her chest. Even at full attention the girl barely reaches five feet though more often than not you can see her slouched or bent over something giving her a much smaller appearance. Her pallid flesh is often clear with a few smattering of freckles across her cheeks. While her face is soft and feminine in contrast to the rest of her build. Lyrah's eyes are of a deep forest green, splattered with different shades of gold. High cheek bones and a slightly wide jaw grace the girl with an almost heart shaped face. Framed by a mess of thick dark auburn locks that tumble just past her shoulders.

Her left ear sports a silver industrial bar posted neatly at the top. While both ears are modestly adorned with a set of silver hoops and a set of silver studs. Both ears are usually hidden by the mop of hair she keeps loosely down, you can find her at times picking apart tangles that tend to get caught in her industrial bar.

Given her low body mass, Lyrah is often cold due to the lack of fat to keep her warm. In an attempt to stave off the icy air she often dones thick sweaters over plain dark jeans. As well as some type of boots upon her feet. The way most sweaters drape off her give off an almost slacker/hipster appearance and the colors are almost always neutral or dark tones. On occasion Lyrah might shrug off her homely attire for a more classic, albeit layered, style which consists of some type of leggings under almost knee high skirts. With a simple graphic tee and of course a jacket to tie it together. Overall it tends to be seen as 'grungy' or 'punkish' but it's warm and that's all that really matters to her.

| Abilities |
Psychic link
Links are created through the bonding of energy between two life forces. Often enough energy passes each other, sliding off as the points distance themselves. Lyrah, through physical touch, can form a bond which creates a channel between herself and another body. Effectively being able to feel and influence the other through intense emotions. Using this bond she can enter a meditative state and actually enter the dream state of a person at rest. From there she can easily manipulate the dream sequence to either draw out information or just torment her target. Often leaving nightmares in her wake.

| Limitations |
Lyrah can only be linked to one person at a time and for no longer than a few days before the connection weakens and fades. Entering through a dream requires her to go into a deep meditation which will leave her body open to physical harm. She also has to be able to navigate through the chaos that is the human subconscious. On a more heavier note this link works both ways. If she happens to link to someone with decent enough control they can easily slip into her subconscious or even influence her emotions with theirs.

| Equipment |
Three things can be found on Lyrah at all times; a phone, headphones and a small blade. Her phone is almost always connected to her headphones as she constantly is listening to music. The blade, while she's never had to use it outside of opening things, stays in her pocket for emergencies.

| Personality |
Lyrah is not a social creature by nature. Her natural distance from society has no bearing on being shy but more of a less than subtle dislike of others. She can be considered crass and often cruel. Her tongue is sharp and she sees no wrong in letting her opinions be known. That being said she doesn't bear the mark of someone who suffers in her solitude. In fact she seems to be quite content with her own bubble of space and more often annoyed when thrust among other people. Though with the change in circumstances Lyrah has found some solace or perhaps just simple entertainment in finding people's limits by pressing various buttons. She enjoys seeing how people change in body language, voice and even notes facal ticks when prompted with a surge of emotion.

That being said she doesn't quite fully grasp social conversation and graces. When she gives effort she can carry on a simple conversation with ease but either grows disinterested easily or begins to sounds slightly askew. Most people have a hard time figuring out how to react to her and in response Lyrah gives almost zero workable interface.

| History |

Birth is such an odd thing. Ones birth isn't a common topic or thought but Lryah'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 mother had told her. The tiny doll-like baby born to an upper class woman; Lisa Bach. Blessed with the complexion of pure snow and sparse wisps of dark curls. Her mother would often refer to her as her little beauty. While the attention would greatly appeal to Lyrah in her youth it held little thrill for her as she grew and soon she began to feel a yearning for something more.

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 threads of jealously. It was only after several voices had whispered into her mother's 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 her hometown to find out who was leaving tiny bombs of their biggest fears and shames about. By then Lyrah had already 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 quell Lyrah's budding personality her mother had actually decided to ship her youngest to a girls school. 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 mother received an invite for her daughter. It would seem her blatant and careless use of her ever growing ability had gained some attention. Lisa had often prayed her daughter wouldn't show any metahuman talents, she just wanted a normal life for her children. She had feverishly wished that Lyrah was just a spirited youth but all hopes were dashed on the rocks. It was shortly after the teen had been returned to get homestead that her mother sought out the girl's biological father with the news. Much to no one's surpris Nathaniel wanted nothing to do with either of them and it took some time to hound down his family members for Lisa learn of the man's eldest daughter had dissappeared a few years before then.

Lyrah in the meantime was being prepped to start her new life. She kept being told that she'd be able to grow her 'talents' and use them to help and shape the world. The only thing that appealed to her was learning to do more. The infinite possibilities that promise held tasted sweet on her tongue. Metahumans were interesting and she personally had never met one nor fathomed herself to be such a creature. Surely an interesting game was being set up before her.

| Extra |
Lyrah has an ear for pitch. After listening to a melody a few times in a row she can almost play the tune back note for note on a piano.
