Superpowers are the next arms race. In a world that is fortunate enough to have amazing teams like the Avengers, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four, there are also those who seek to do us harm. Thanks to the efforts of S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists, the top of the graduating class of 2020 at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Sci-Tech, Operations, and Communications academies were subjected to the Phase Three experiments. The resulting team of super soldiers cut their teeth in a virtual reality simulated mission in the Framework, prior to receiving training from some of the Avengers themselves.
The team was sent to the Latveria region of Serbia a few weeks later under secret orders from Director Fury to assassinate Prime Minister Lucia von Bardas. She and the Tinkerer had been supplying high-tech weapons to criminals all over the globe, and while the team managed to complete the mission successfully without being exposed, two of their agents were trapped inside of the Quantum Realm and presumed dead. There was no time to mourn as HYDRA came out of the shadows and into the light, with the Phase Three team under Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye heading to Creed Financial, one of HYDRA's strongholds masquerading as a bank. There, they managed to capture the evil speedster Luminous and HYDRA operative Baron von Strucker, in addition to cutting off HYDRA's financial resources and weakening the terrorist organization.
However, the agents then discovered an uncomfortable truth - HYDRA had funded the Phase Three experiments. They were children of HYDRA.
Months later, the war between S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA was ongoing and those they had lost had been put to rest. Agent Dominika Novikova refused to give up hope that her friends in the Quantum Realm were still alive, so she sought out the aid of Dr. Henry Pym in order to rescue them, as his wife, the Wasp was trapped there as well. The pair of them stole the Project Ultron plans and other necessary technology from Stark Industries. While the operation was a success and they brought their loved ones home from the Quantum Realm, Ultron went rogue and killed Agent Novikova, beginning the Age of Ultron.
The heroes numbers had dwindled drastically and they came up with two desperate plans to stop Ultron, both which worked to varying degrees of success. Agent Niah Bautista and others traveled back in time to 1984, convincing Dr. Pym to stop his creation from activating its secondary protocol and beginning an apocalyptic assault on the world. Meanwhile in 2021, Agent Tinley Abercrombie and others waged a full on assault of Ultron's headquarters, narrowly destroying the robot but also learning that one of their own, Agent Cassandra Reed, had been replaced with a Life Model Decoy months ago. The unit's designation was Virginia and she had unconsciously been relaying information to Ultron, helping him to kill the agents one by one. Thankfully, the work done in 1984 resulted in a successful rescue of the stranded agents, the Wasp, and Spider-Gwen from the Quantum Realm and the aversion of the apocalyptic future.
After the events of House of M, the Secret Warriors had a relaxing Christmas at the Hub, with a guest appearance by Deadpool!
Valentine's Day brought tragedy to the world. A mysterious epidemic that only afflicted mutants, called M-Pox had reared its ugly head. S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists discovered that the disease was linked to a Terrigen bomb detonated by the inhuman civilization on the moon called Attilan. The Secret Warriors went on a diplomatic mission to attempt to convince Queen Medusa to destroy the Terrigen Mists. They learned that Thanos and the Black Order had killed most of Attilan's residents and the bomb had been an attempt to give all the inhumans down on the surface a fighting chance. Thanos was searching for his long lost son, Thane, fearful of a prophecy that either he must kill Thane or Thane would kill him. He had sent his Black Order to raze planets if they refused to give him a tribute of the heads of all younglings between ages 26 and 30.
The Secret Warriors squared off against the Black Order in Cardiff, believing that criminal Thane di Angelo was the son of Thanos the Black Order was looking for. In this first skirmish, Raynor Baldursen was killed - only to be revealed as a Skrull. Not too long afterwards, the agents returned to California, di Angelo in tow. Dalisy Bautista attacked the group in an attempt to liberate her sister Niah as the agents realized that Oliver Sulivan was the son of Thanos. He and Di Angelo had been mistakenly swapped at the hospital. With Thanos raining hellfire down on Cardiff and destroying the city, the Secret Warriors challenged him to a fight on the moon to settle this. Flying raptors were involved.
In mid May of the same year, Acting Director Maria Hill introduced Hill's Laws, a set of reforms that restricted the activities of superheroes. These policies required registration with SHIELD, supervised training, SHIELD supervision, and that all heroes had to be at least 18 years old. The Secret Warriors were tasked with bringing in Captain America, as he refused to support Hill's initiative. Not everyone pursued Captain America however - Sparky sought aid from Doctor Strange to find her missing boyfriend, resulting in a magical adventure across space to Breidablik, the gleaming hall of Baldur. There, she and Agent Amelia Baptiste found Raynor, discovering that he had nearly been killed by skrulls - and that their other companion, "Agent Maria Novikova", was an evil shapeshifter impersonating their friend!
Meanwhile on Earth, Oliver and Niah traveled to Cardiff, battling the Demon Bear that had infested St. David's Hospital. While Niah tragically lost her leg, Kree ex-pat Mar-Vell saved the life of Oliver's mother, giving her a transfusion of her own blood. And back in New York, the remaining members of the Secret Warriors had split into two factions, led by Captain America and Iron Man, and they traveled to Ellis Island where the superhuman Civil War came to its violent conclusion - the Skrulls had been behind it all!
The Secret Warriors and surviving Avengers, as well as some other allies, retreated to the safety of Hawkeye's farm house. There, they came up with a plan to defeat the Skrulls without drawing too much attention from the Kree by setting a pack of flerkens loose at the UN Geneva Convention, allowing them to overthrow Skrull Empress Veranke and install the peaceful Princess Anelle on the throne. (Of course, Agent Maria Novikova accidentally killed the Empress, but not all plans can work flawlessly...) President Alexander Jakobsen suggested that the Earth could serve as a basis for Skrull-Kree peace talks, perhaps allowing for peace in a warring galaxy.
Then, the Secret Warriors had their final mission - they were tasked with investigating a prison break, where two high profile prisoners of the Raft had escaped: Luminous and Doctor Doom. They had escaped due to the appearance of a mysterious rift in space time (unknown to the Secret Warriors, this was created by the actions of Forseti in X-Men: Cosmic Crusades as he passed judgment on unworthy universes!). While our heroes were only meant to look at scene, they ended up getting sucked on through the rift themselves, ending up in the dystopian universe of Earth-257.
They were soon captured by the intelligence organization SWORD in the Iron, an authoritarian country that resulted after a superhuman civil war some decades prior. They narrowly escaped thanks to the help of a Genoshan operative, a variant of Folly Valeska, who saw them to the free, vigilante country of the Blue. There, they had temporary shelter with Genoshan ex-pats Mystique, Destiny, Rogue, and Gambit - only to be ambushed by the Avengers! The Secret Warriors barely won the battle, before being teleported away to the mutant paradise of Genosha. Developing psychic issues, where people suddenly remembered their lives on Earth-257 and not on Earth-666, were addressed in psychic surgeries overseen by Professor X.
Manifold then escorted them to the United Kingdom, where they battled a demon summoned hastily by Doom and Luminous! Pursuing them further, they made it to New Asgard, where Raynor Baldursen was forced to confront his dark past. Doom and Luminous attacked the palace, and in the process, Doom killed both Queen Sif, All-Mother of New Asgard and his partner-in-crime in his attempt to kill Sylvie Lushton, reincarnation of the Enchantress and Nexus Being of Earth-257 to steal her powers. He was stopped when Bonnie turned him into stone with her aegis.
In an unpredictable and chaotic world, we seek to control that which we do not understand; to grant ourselves immortality through preserving the past; to find ourselves. But there is a noble calling that only the bravest and the kindest rise to answer - to protect those who cannot defend themselves. These individuals have chosen to be humanity's first line of defense against whoever may wish to do us harm, sacrificing their lives so that way we can live to see another sunrise.
They have chosen to be a shield.
Our story begins after the fall of O.M.E.N., a brutal branch of the United States government that could not tell the difference between dangerous criminals and an innocent child. With O.M.E.N. gone, S.H.I.E.L.D. has seen its budget and resources soar to levels that they had not had since Howard Stark and Peggy Carter founded the agency. Yet they have also inherited a number of threats and situations that O.M.E.N. had been monitoring, spreading Fury's force thin. Reserve agents are being called in for active duty and agents who had applied for retirement are being asked to reconsider.
At S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, the very best of the graduating class of cadets have been asked to participate in a unique study. In order to combat the ever changing threats of this new world, we need to adapt. S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists are interested in creating a team of super agents, balanced perfectly with the relevant skill sets, that might be able to make a difference in this world. Their process has been adapt in identifying latent X-genes, as well as inhuman DNA markers. And in the case that the subject has neither, scientists are experimenting with the application of radiation to induce powers.
And while the formation of this team brings hope for the future - a warm light for all of mankind to share - it casts shadows. In those shadows, there are whispers of an old foe returning from the brink of extinction.

It has been two months since the team, under the leadership of Clint Barton and Tinley Abercrombie, took down the HYDRA held bank, Creed Financial. The loss of that capital has crippled HYDRA, forcing the fascist organization to seek out new allies. Latest intelligence indicates that HYDRA leadership has relocated to Germany and are planning an imminent strike against S.H.I.E.L.D. with a yet to be revealed new ally.
However, HYDRA is the least of the team's problems now. Two of their own, Agents Theresa Sparks and Raynor Blake, have been trapped in the Quantum Realm all of this time. There has been no sign of them still being alive, but Sci-Tech graduate Agent Dominika Novikova still holds out hope that they can be rescued. Inspired by a vision she had seen during the fight against Luminous at Creed Financial, she has been visiting renowned scientist Dr. Hank Pym, hoping that the long neglected Ultron project may be the key to bringing Sparky and Raynor home.
If only she knew the price...

Following the incident with Ultron and the unauthorized assassination of Von Bardas in Serbia, Director Fury was removed from his position by the President of the United States. It was one of his last acts of the term, with Alexander Jakobsen being inaugurated in late January 2021. His replacement had been groomed for the position for ages - Agent Maria Hill. Fury had given her some parting advice - that she would need to command the respect of not just the agents, but also the world in order to be effective as S.H.I.E.L.D's director.
Her first challenge? Thanos, has been searching for his inhuman son, Thane. Fearing that Thane will grow more powerful than him and kill him before he can complete his sacred work, Thanos and the Black Order have been razing planets, demanding a tribute of the heads of younglings between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two (the estimated age of his lost son) or the annihilation of its inhabitants. His search has led him to Earth.
The inhuman king Black Bolt discovered Thanos' plans went beyond galactic conquest, and in an effort to protect his people from the Mad Titan, he has detonated a Terrigen Bomb, flooding the Earth's atmosphere with the Terrigen Mists. This would cause any being on Earth with inhuman genetics to undergo Terringenesis and emerge with fantastic abilities, giving them a fighting chance to defend themselves. Unfortunately, the Terrigen Mists were impure and have proven fatal to mutants, with mutants across the country coming down with the terrible disease M-Pox.
It's up to our plucky team of agents to save the world once again - to destroy the Terrigen Mists in the atmosphere before the Earth becomes uninhabitable for mutants and to protect the world from Thanos' bloodlust.

Fury had given her some parting advice - that she would need to command the respect of not just the agents, but also the world in order to be effective as S.H.I.E.L.D's director.
To this end, Maria Hill has updated the protocols regarding super powered heroes. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s policy previously had been to monitor from a distance, more or less allowing groups like the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men to do their own thing - a policy of benign neglect. Perhaps as a logical extension to the nearly passed Mutant Registration Act, Maria Hill has introduced the following reforms, called Hill's Laws (a misnomer as they were not, in fact, voted in by members of Congress):
Any individual using their powers, enhanced technology, or anything else that would qualify them to be a superhero must register as an active hero with S.H.I.E.L.D. This includes the revelation of their secret identity.
An individual wishing to fight crime as a superhero must be at least 18 years old.
All superheroes are required to receive training from either S.H.I.E.L.D. or one of three pre-approved groups (the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and the Avengers).
There will be a S.H.I.E.L.D. task force dedicated to supporting and aiding these heroes, but also to deal with any issues that may arise.
Maria Hill has tasked the Secret Warriors with enforcing these reforms with someone who she hopes will serve as an example: Captain America. The notion is that if the patriotic leader of the Avengers becomes the poster child of Hill's Laws, then the other superhero teams and individual crimefighters will follow suit.
This will not be the case.

Galactus consumed Tarnax IV, the home world of the Skrulls. The Skrulls are an alien race of shapeshifters, mortal enemies of the Kree. They have decided to recreate their lost world on Earth due to its strategic position - wormholes are easily opened and created in the Milky Way System, a fact that Asgard has exploited for travel to Midgard for thousands of years. The Skrulls have infiltrated every government, every superhero team, and no one knows what happens to those they have replaced. They replaced Iron Man and several key Avengers, bringing about a superhuman Civil War that left Earth's heroes more divided than ever before.

The Secret Warriors' family has expanded: on October 20th, Diana Niah Novikova was born, and one week later on October 27th, they welcomed the birth of Zarina Nanna Raynordattir (who was, in fact, not a skrull baby). Bonnie and Flynn are expecting their first child, with Bonnie being due in the spring. The Skrull-Kree peace talks are underway on Mars, with President Alexander Jakobsen leading the UN Negotiation Team, so things are calming down in the world at large, and the timing is nothing less than perfect.
... Well, almost perfect. In the early hours of the morning on November 12th, 2021, Doctor Doom escaped the Raft via a temporal and spatial anomaly. It's up to the Secret Warriors to investigate the anomaly and bring Doctor Doom back into custody at any cost. As a master sorcerer and expert inventor, he's a rival to both Doctor Strange and Iron Man.
With the right tools, he could rule the world.

The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division was founded in January of 1949 by Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, and Chester Philips. It absorbed the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) - the Allies' deep science agency that was responsible for the creation of the serum that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America. Following the conclusion of the war and the defeat of HYDRA, S.H.I.E.L.D. continued to monitor the world for catastrophic threats, as individuals with abilities and superior technology became more and more commonplace. The age of heroes had just begun - but so came the rise of villains.
In short, S.H.I.E.L.D. often deals with alien technology, superpowered individuals, and events that boggle the senses. Despite the agency's success in protecting the world since its founding, its failure to prevent the alien invasion of New York in 2012 and then the Altsoba Massacre (see the RP Abandoned Hope) prompted a defunding of the agency. Its budget was limited significantly and then given to O.M.E.N., a rival US intelligence and military agency. Fortunately, after O.M.E.N. attempted to kill the X-Men while the Mutant Registration Act was being debated in Congress, the rival organization was shut down and S.H.I.E.L.D. saw its funding restored.
Recruitment for S.H.I.E.L.D. can be fierce. Recruits usually have a college degree, but it is not required with the exception of Science and Technology, where candidates need at least one PhD to enter the building. Very few agents are trained 'on the job' but there are some scenarios in which this is the case. Additionally, individuals can be recruited for various initiatives without progressing through the academy, such as the Avengers Initiative. Its current director is Nick Fury and its primary headquarters, the Triskelion, is located in Washington D.C.
For this roleplay, all agents will have gone through one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s three academies. Each academy specializes in training recruits to become a certain type of agent. They all also have different entrance requirements. Students are not allowed to transfer between academies and retain their "placement" in graduation order - (i.e. if a second year at Communications transfers to Operations, they start over as a first year). It takes four years to graduate.
All cadets, regardless of their program, are required to take History of S.H.I.E.L.D. during their first year.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Communications is the largest of the Academies. Its curriculum focuses on data analysis, with a majority of its cadets going into positions where they monitor threats S.H.I.E.L.D. has identified around the world. Other examples of activities include monitoring for suspicious activity and cyberterrorism. Communications interacts the most with the other two academies and tends to be the easiest to enter.
Phil Coulson is an alumnus of the Communications Academy.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Operations has the most aggressive program of the three school.

Specialists come from this program - one person who can effectively operate solo without back-up and get the job done. Field Agents are also trained here, although they integrate best into the structure of a team.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Science and Technology (often abbreviated to Sci-Tech) is the hardest academy to gain admission to. Each cadet has to have at least one PhD, with some having as many as two or three PhDs (although the fields of study tend to be incredibly similar). Students are prepared to assist S.H.I.E.L.D. through a scientific perspective, with most cadets ending up working in laboratories at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. Some, however, will be assigned to a mobile unit in the field.

Rules
*Rules are enforced and you will be removed if you break them.
Applications:
Post the CS in the OOC for review.
Change the color code to a unique one (i.e. not in use by a current character). Please try to avoid colors that are very similar to the eye as well.
Choose a faceclaim for your character that is not currently in use - if you're not sure if someone is using that FC, ask the GM. Faceclaims must be real life images - not drawings.
The GM can refuse a concept for any reason, yet will generally work with you to fix up the character until they can be accepted.
Talk to the GM if you want your character to have established connections (i.e. if this were a Harry Potter RP and you wanted to be Fudge's goddaughter, talk to the GM in advance for approval).
GM approved character sheets should be posted in a hider in the Char tab.
The GM will check posting history / previous RPs - you've been warned.
Once CS's are approved, relation sheet will go up and must be completed and added to CS
Under Extras in your CS please post a link to a post you have done in the past to show you have read the rules. If You submit a CS without this it may be declined.
Special - To New Comers To The Guild - Pm The Gm for a tid bit to add under extras instead
Post Content
No use of racial slurs in posts. Sure, you may be playing a racist white guy from the 1950s, so just use asterisks - you'll convey the same idea.
Nudity needs to be run by the GM before posting. In general, this is PG-13 when it comes to romance, sexual interactions, exposure, and so forth... Violence wise, anything goes. This can get gross.
Fade to black for things that verge into the area of smut/other taboo subjects. Seriously. Your post will be deleted otherwise.
The world and NPCs and events are controlled by the GM. If the GM says it's raining, then it's raining. Results will be randomized per dice mechanics.
Posting & General Behavior
Follow all of the rules of the forum - they're the law of the land.
If you need an extension or you're struggling - or even if you just aren't certain what to do - please reach out to the GM! Communication is key.
All posts are backed up on the back up forum after they have been posted - the GM will provide the link for this forum. It only takes a few seconds and it ensures all your hard work is preserved!
You must post once every 7 days - once your last post on RPG reads as 8 days ago you will be removed from the RP.
If you need an extension, ask!! Extensions should be requested no matter than when your last post reads as 6 days ago. If an emergency comes up on day 7, of course come and talk to us - we'll be more than happy to work something out. It's very rare that an extension request is denied.
You may NOT copy and paste something from someone else's post and add it to your own. This includes dialogue.
Minimal 2 posts between your last
No editing posts without GM approval.
Each post should include two well developed paragraphs (please don't make me define how many sentences are in a paragraph. If they're long sentences, then sure 5 is fine - if they're shorter, maybe 15 is best).
Read all posts! Seriously, people are reading yours so spread the love and read theirs!
No tagging for interactions in your post - people use this as a crutch usually to get away with not reading everything.
Other:
Character deaths will happen, no one is safe - it will be randomized and you will be notified when your death approaches. (This does not mean you are out of the RP, it will mean however you need to make a new character should you wish to continue - I recommend having Back Up Characters Ready)
The GM reserves the right to make decisions as to how much additional time, if any, will be granted to post if the forum is glitching. A week to post is plenty of time even if the forum glitches a day or two. But usually, I do tend to be pretty generous about it...
Rules and character sheet will be added to and changed as need be depending on problems or points that come up.
Under Extras in the CS also mention your favorite Marvel Storyline so I know you at least skimmed this... Check the discord chat once a day. Invite will be provided by the GM.
Character Sheet
Please read through the instructions for this character sheet carefully.

History
Why did you want to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?: Shortly after when Cassandra graduated top of her class from MIT, she was approached by a SHIELD agent and asked if she would be interested in joining SHIELD. After considering it for a few hours she decided to contact the agent that recruited her and said yes. Cassandra wanted to join SHIELD because she thought it would be a good place for her to work. And she was always curious on what they used for their missions and wanted to learn how they worked, and she also wanted to join and experience a little bit of adventure. General History: Cassandra was born to a pretty poor family they lived in a cheap two room apartment, she had to share her room with two other siblings a younger sister and an older brother. Growing up her family had a very hard time just trying to get by with what they had, both of their parents were working two jobs leaving her older brother to take care of his two sisters. But Cassandra was also able to help out a lot as well to take care of their younger sister. During school however Cassandra was very smart, more so then the other kids in her class.
By high school Cassandra was taking college level courses, she always had a knack for engineering as well as physics by the time she graduated Cassandra had quiet a few scholarships that was offered to her. Cassandra chose to go to MIT where she flourished getting the best grades of her class, she chose to major in physics and engineering as her majors. When Cassandra turned 24 she wanted to bring her sister over to America which she quickly said yes, in order to lessen the burden on her parents who were still struggling back at home.
Cassandra eventually had enough money saved up and moved into an apartment where they could live together, one day Cassandra received a letter from someone. It was addressed to her sister Carolina that there was a special school for her, and that she would have the best care possible. Not thinking much of it at the time Cassandra urged her sister to go and look into which her sister did and accepted, then it was just herself again in the apartment.
Then one day on her way home from a college lesson Cassandra was approached by some SHIELD Agents, they wanted to recruit her which she happily accepted. Cassandra, decided that she wanted to go to the SHIELD Academy of Communications, which she eventually graduated earlier then some of her other classmates becoming a full SHIELD agent. She was given a few assignments to a team, and worked on the Alucard Case, before eventually being reassigned a few years later to the X-Men team and worked along side them for the next two years.

Name: Arcturus Alexander Hale Aliases: Archie / Arc Species: Mutate Powers: Telepathy – able to hear surface thoughts and transmit his own over a moderate distance (same room/floor of a building). Age: Twenty-Two Nationality: Swiss Birthday: September 21th, 1997 Birth Place: Zürich, Switzerland Gender: Male S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy: Communications Qualification: Graduate from Oxford (Modern Languages and Linguistics), 3+ Years Experience in Cybersecurity
Appearance
Height: 5'7" Weight: 130lbs Build: Slim Eyes: Brown Hair: Black (Dyed) Skin Tone: Pale Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Pierced ears and tongue. No scars. Tattoo of a power button behind his left ear. Personal Style: Arcturus has eclectic tastes and no interest in fashion, only comfortably. He usually pairs dark trousers and expensive dress shoes with huge cardigans, over-sized jumpers, and a variety of button-ups with bright, obnoxious patterns. Despite the eccentricity, each item of clothing tends to be from designer brands.
Sexuality: Homosexual Relationship Status: Single Personality: Notoriously tight-lipped about himself, Arcturus likes to distract from questions about his own life by overcompensating with interest in other people's. He's one of those good listeners, remembering and observing the little details, the names, faces, birthdays, likes and dislikes of everyone around him, no matter how inconsequential their role might be. An extrovert through and through, he enjoys being a social butterfly, and prides himself on his ability to find common ground with anyone, even if he has to fake a layman's knowledge in topics he has no idea about.
Arcturus has a disinterest in and is far from motivated by money. The fact that he was born into it is incidental and, other than liking the finer things in life, he doesn't believe it makes him any different from anyone else. At the same time, he doesn't seem to know or care about the value of it, careless with valuable possessions and blasé when it comes to ostentatious displays of wealth. He is spendthrift, especially when it comes to people he cares about and himself. A venn diagram of these two categories would be a circle.
His greatest flaw is egotism. Self-confidence in his own areas of expertise crosses the line into arrogance, and he doesn't believe himself fallible in those areas and others. Additionally, Arcturus places his own goals first even when he genuinely likes other people. At the very least, he values those personal relationships over the interests of any organisation, even if he can't put them above his own interests yet.
Habits: Compulsively checking his phone, picking at scabs. Hobbies: High-stakes gambling, music. Fears:

Why did you want to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?: Arcturus happened to like the recruiter who approached him, and he wasn't quite ready to jump into proper adulthood. Further study in the academy seemed right up his alley, as opposed to whatever it was he would do otherwise with his degree. They promised that they would have a use for his language skills and his illicit online activities, and Arcturus chose to believe them, though mostly because MI6 was full of themselves.
General History: Arcturus Hale is the only child of noveau riche parents. His father, Alexander Hale, is an internationally-renowned investment banker only investigated twice for fraud, and his match to Arcturus’s mother, the socialite Léonie Morgenthaler, was one of convenience: they live in separate buildings if not separate countries whenever possible.
Sequestered in the family’s Zürich estate and home-schooled for most of his childhood, Arcturus was mostly left to amuse himself. The tutors tried their best, of course, but he was a precocious child, always up to no good and sneaking into his father’s office or uprooting flowers in the garden. He had little interest in learning. Some of the hired help encouraged his love of puzzles and games, and one even taught him simple sleight-of-hand tricks with small objects and a deck of cards as soon as he was dexterous enough. His parents were not satisfied by his progress, and that particular caretaker was swiftly out of a job.
There was one exception to the regime of lessons he so expertly squandered, a bright spot in a friendless childhood: time spent with his paternal uncle Theodore Hale. Far more pragmatic than his brother, Uncle Theo shared his nephew’s interest in technology, particularly as he grew engrossed in the illegal activities one could get up to on it. A few lessons on coding here, then an outline on cybersecurity, and eventually it became something of a game to bond over –– breaking down the digital defences of certain businesses ‘just for fun’ with little thought given to those whose livelihoods would be directly affected.
No less nosy in his adolescence as he is now, Arcturus slowly pieced together his uncle’s secrets and just why he had such an eclectic mix of skills. Uncle Theo had been an operative at the tail end of the Cold War, a jack of all trades when it came to espionage. Upon being relieved of duty due to an injury, he turned to other pursuits as an information broker. Once the truth about the black sheep of the Hale family had been revealed to him, Arcturus realised that many of the so-called projects that they had done to improve his skills were actually to collect information.
Arcturus felt used, with the only adult who seemed to care about him having the ulterior motive of using his skills for some unknown, likely criminal purpose, and so he searched for universities far away from the gilded cage he had grown up in to move away from home. Though his uncle tried to apologise after a huge blow-up fight, he was dissatisfied with his entire family. He blew through his sizable allowance each month with alcohol and partying and, of course, driving (without a license), and nearly failed out his first year in an attempt to stay away from his roots, avoiding computing courses like the plague.
He graduated with a top degree in Modern Languages and Linguistics from Oxford instead, however, old habits die hard. Arcturus had already returned to performing white hat work on commission, patching up holes in the systems of businesses he previously helped to sabotage. For these efforts, he was scouted by both MI6 to join one of their cryptography teams and S.H.I.E.L.D. From there it is rather obvious what route he picked.

Sense enhancment - Niah can hyper focus on a sense and make it extremely powerful, but to do so she looses another sense during that time. When she hyper focuses on Smell she loses Sight. Sight - Sound. Sound - Taste. Touch - Smell. Taste - Touch
Psychometry - Niah can touch an object and see flashes of its histroy
Height: 5' 5" Weight: 130lbs Build: Petit Eyes: Golden brown Hair: Naturally dark, but she plays around with the ends Skin Tone: Soft brown, naturally tanned Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Ears are pierced Personal Style: Even before Niah's powers were activated she was already senstive to touch and had issues with a lot of fabrics. As such she has always been picky about her clothing texture (it is the first thing she checks with any new clothes). Then she leans toward modest outfits, though she does enjoy a sundress when the weather is right.
Sexuality: Demisexual (though she can appreciate the aesthetics of someone she doesn't know) Relationship Status: Single Personality: Niah is friendly, she smiles at new people and tries to make them feel comfortable. She doesn't look at differences between people, she finds common ground and meets people there. Though, she can be a bit too much in her head at times and not realize that the people she is talking to don't understand what she is talking about.
Niah is excitable. If she has an idea, it is the best thing since her last idea. She is careful with it though. Making sure all the i's are dotted, and t's are crossed. She can be obnoxiously cautious when speed would be of the essence. She believes in doing things right the first time rather than fixing mistakes.
She is picky about her food, and clothes. Don't go clothes shopping with her if you don't have the day to devote to it, and somehow she will leave with at most five articles of clothing. With food, she's worse. She won't even go to most restaurants (cleanliness in those places is appalling anyway), but if you go to her place for dinner, you'll have one of the best meals of your life.
Habits: A jog every morning and she hums "this the song that never ends" when she's doing repetitive tasks, or she is bored, when she's upset or nervous she plays with her necklace. Hobbies: Cooking/baking (it's basically chemistry anyway) Fears:
Her brother getting killed
Her family disowning her
Riding a motorcycle (mostly because she's afraid of being in a crash while on one)

History
Why did you want to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?: Niah was always driven. She wanted to be the "smart" kid after she got over her youthful boredom. When she heard about the program at the Academy for Sci-tech, she had to try her hand at it, and it gave her an opportunity to give back in a way that being in just some random town's lab wouldn't. It was another challenge, one she wouldn't back down from.
General History: Niah was born in Manila; she lived there with her parents and siblings until she was almost ten years old. Her mother's sister sponsored the family moving to the United States. Niah had a hard time adjusting to the new world she lived in, but her parents couldn't indulge her and sent her to a public school.
Niah probably would have flunked out of school because of pure boredom by the time she was going into high school if it hadn't been for a science teacher in middle school. He woke up in her a love for all things STEM, and while she had a hard time deciding which field she loved most, she stuck with the "hard" science side of things. She didn't find the anthropological side of science interesting.
During Niah's senior year of High school (at age 15), her older sister was murdered. Niah and her family broke. She almost didn't finish high school, and she lost out on all the things she had wanted to do that year. It was because of a Forensic Scientist that the killer was caught and brought to justice. Niah decided to study forensic science as a nod to that "hero" in her life.
She had a BA in Criminology and Forensic Science with a Minor in Forensic Chemistry, Botony, and Toxicology by the time she could legally vote. It didn't take her much longer to get her Ph.D. in Forensic Science.

Name: Tinley Abercrombie Aliases: Tee, Linly (her mother only) Species: Inhuman Powers: Mind Control Age: 21 Nationality: British Birthday: January 5, 1999 Birth Place: Manchester, England Gender: Female S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy: Operations Qualification: BA in Psychology, Self-Defense Training
Appearance
Height: 5'8'' Weight: 122 lbs Build: Fit with Curves Eyes: Blue Hair: Blonde Skin Tone: Cream Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Small Blue Orchid on left hip, three slash scars along back Personal Style: Tinley's style can best be described as "Modern Sleek". She enjoys wearing clothing that accentuates her frame and is comfortable to move around in. Skirts and blouses mainly with heels that make some other girls cringe. She usually wears darker tones in blacks, grays, and silver, usually adding a spalsh of color to something minimal, like a necklace, or earrings.
Her hair falls back just below her shoulders, but she will usually keep it up in a stylish fashion. Her make-up adds more color to her ensemble, usually in tones of blue, purple, and pink. Rarely, if ever, does she wear "Casual Clothing" unless she is undercover. Spending most of her time as someone else, she doesn't really ever adapt her own personal style.
Sexuality: Heterosexual Relationship Status: Single Personality: Tinley has grown up in a world where she didn't want for much. Due to this, she has a particular way of viewing the world. She can be driven and goal-minded and when she sees something she wants, she is not afraid to pursue any means to get it (whatever it is). She is extremely confident in her skills and knows she got to where she is through her own merits, despite what others say. When an opportunity arises, she takes hold.
Tinley, despite having a family, often had to handle things herself, growing her into a self-reliant, but also a self-indulgent person. She enjoys the fine things in life and is not afraid to take others down to achieve those means. She knows she is the best, she knows she is attractive, and she knows she has more guts and brains than most others her age, and she is not afraid to tell you to your face.
Why did you want to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?: Tinley wanted more out of her life than helping to protect her own country. She had aims of being part of MI6, but sought a bigger field. In a world where superpowers lead the world in good vs. evil, she wanted to be on the front lines and fighting back to help the world. It's what her mother would have wanted, she knows it.
General History: Saying Tinley lived a privileged life is an understatement. The Abercrombie family is a well-known one England wide (rumor has it Reginald is close friend with the Queen!). Tinley grew up with her older brother wanting for very little. At first, Tinley was fine with this. The best clothes, the best education, the best of everything. But life got a bit too boring. She wanted excitement! She wanted adventure! She would see heroes on TV and wanted their life. Her father, needless to say, did not approve.
Her mother, however, did. But Georgina's life was shortened. Diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Tinley watched as her mother slowly succumbed to her disease. In all their time together, Georgina urged her daughter to pursue her dreams. Even when her mother would forget her name, she would always greet her with a smile and ask "Are you a hero yet?" So Tinley took this to heart, even after her mother passed, unable to care for herself. Her father warned her that if she wanted it, she would have to work for it herself. He would not support her. Tinley, wanting to go at it on her own anyway, was just fine with this.
So she worked hard. She studied hard in school, earning top marks in classes. She spent free time in self-defense classes. Her aim was MI6 and she was all set to go. Until life had other plans. The world was in a clash of good vs. evil. Heroes and villains constantly fought and she remembered her mother's words. She needed to be a hero. MI6 would have to wait. So when SHIELD put it out there they were interested in her, she jumped at the chance to join the side of good.

So this is fun, transferring over all her extra skills from X-Men! ^_^ But so all of the computer skills for her would actually go under specialty, since she went through the communications academy. Mission Strategy can go there as well. And since she got her combat skills in the field, they can go under specialty.
Qualification - This is what got her into SHIELD Academy in the first place, not skills she picked up at the academy to qualify her to be a SHIELD agent, so need to fix that.
@Nallore Looks good, move her over and get working on relations ^^ Since Cass is our only non-freshly graduated cadet, just write up relations for agents she's already met/worked with.
Name: Teig Kelley Aliases: Some people call him 'T' for convenience. You'll get a dirty look if the 'Mr. T' jokes start coming out though. He's not really one for nicknames. Species: Mutate Powers: Telekinesis Age: 23 Nationality: Scottish Birthday: 12 29, 1996 Birth Place: Dundee Gender: Male S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy: Operations Qualification: Teig's long experience in the Parachute Regiment and later in the SAS contributed greatly towards his recruitment into SHIELD.
Appearance
Height: 6 foot Weight: 200lbs Build: Muscular Eyes: Brown Hair: Ginger Skin Tone: Pale Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Various small scars from fights in the past litter his body. He has a small tattoo of the SAS' insignia on the back of his calf. Personal Style: Teig isn't one for trends, and usually wears whatever he feels best fits a situation. When lounging around or working out he'll often wear a tracksuit or a pair of workout shorts with under armour or an old t-shirt to match. Otherwise he can often be seen wearing a check shirt with a t-shirt underneath and some jeans.
Sexuality: Heterosexual Relationship Status: Single Personality: Teig is a friendly, easy to talk to guy on the surface. He will talk to anyone about anything, even if he doesn't understand it in the slightest, he will make an effort to be interested if the person shows even an ounce of passion about what they are talking about. He tries his best to avoid conflict among friends, and isn't above pulling out one of his famous awful dad jokes to make a pair of arguing friends shut up for a moment just to groan at how bad the joke was. He values loyalty above everything else, especially when working in a team.
However, when on a mission while displaying some of the traits he would do normally, he is much more focused and prioritizes the lives of others over the mission objective, perhaps to a fault. He'd much rather risk his life trying to save someone else than live with the guilt of never having tried.
Habits: He has a bad habit of cracking his knuckles which his mother often scolds her for as "It'll give you arthritis!".
He will often rub the bridge of his nose when in deep thought or stressed.
He often times buys a book with the intention of reading it, reads the first page and then never picks it up again. Hobbies: -Mixed Martial Arts -Keeps a record collection Fears:

History
Why did you want to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?: Teig's main push came from his commanding officer putting him forward for the position when a recruiter from SHIELD came to his branch of the SAS. While initially he was happy to stay with the SAS, his commanding officer assured him that his talents would better be spent with SHIELD and that, among other things, the pay was better. Personally, Teig also liked the idea of travelling the world and was informed that SHIELD was a better fit for doing so than the SAS.
General History: Teig was born in Dundee, his father, a builder was the main source of income for his family. Teig's early life was pretty much the norm for the area he grew up in. It was in the bad part of town and he'd often get in fights with other kids or even a few adults here or there when he was causing mischief with his friends. As a result, he took an early interest in actually learning how to fight, and joined a boxing gym as a young boy. It was there he met the man who would prove to be his father figure for the best part of his early life - Coach Fergusson. Teig's father never took much of an interest in him for the most part, but when Teig began regaling the family with stories about Coach Fergusson and how much he was learning then his father took more of an interest.
He tried to go and beat up the much older coach in front of Teig, to no avail. He got his ass handed to him by a man 20 years his elder. This only worsened things, and with the advent of his father's building firm closing - Teig's life was about to get a lot worse. His father became a violent drunk, before slowly turning to drugs and dying by the time Teig was about 12. He'd be lying if he said he missed the bastard.
The coach took a much bigger interest in Teig's life after this, making sure he was well looked after and that he was doing well in school. He succeeded in one of those objectives. He was well looked after for sure, but no amount of encouragement would have made Teig try in school. Sure, he was a whiz kid on the football team and always did well in PE, but in most other subjects he just plain didn't try. Stumped, the coach decided to further Teig's combat sports training instead. Pulling in a few contacts from his career as an amateur fighter, he was able to get Teig trained in Muay Thai, BJJ, and a few other styles before sending him off to compete in a few martial arts tournaments for people around his age.
Alas, his MMA career never fully took off as much as his coach had hoped, and Teig had another goal in mind. At the age of 16, Teig joined the Parachute Regiment. He stayed with the PARA's for a good 3 years, before applying 3 times and eventually getting into the SAS. At that point in his life, the entrance exam to the SAS was the hardest thing he'd ever done. Even the first phase, focusing on endurance and stamina was grueling and he almost quit a few times along the way. In fact, if it wasn't for the verbal onslaught he was sure to get from his coach and his mother if he did quit then he probably would have.
His time in the SAS was some of the best days in his life. He felt truly accepted for once, and the men in his regiment were like brothers to him. Hell, even his commanding officer as much of a hardass as he was still cracked a joke here or there. He also learned how to properly deal with pressure and stress during his time in the SAS. After all, when former veterans were sieging the Iranian Embassy and breaking in through the back window with a sledgehammer of all things it wouldn't pay to be a coward.
His time in the SAS was cut short by a new opportunity. His commanding officer had been contacted by a representative of SHIELD, asking for new recruits for their Operations team. Of course, he put forward Teig, who accepted after much consideration.
