Name: Jennifer MacIntosh
Age: 16
Gender: female
Appearance: Unlike her twin, Jennifer stands only about five foot five. Although they share similar facial structure, it is obvious she has more feminine features where as his are more masculine - her jaw is a softer line that is more rounded where as his is stronger and more squared, his face more squared off than her more rounded features. She shares the same kind of eyes though - best way to see the resemblance - with the same olive green color and thick eyelashes. Her light brown hair is straight, left long to cascade down to about mid-back with bangs that sweep in front of her eyes like a veil and are just barely long enough to tuck behind her ears. Although she's not thin, she is in good enough shape for her slight curves and modest bust to be noticed without having a super taut stomach; at least, her stomach is flat. She tends to prefer multiple layers - tank top under a long sleeve tee-shirt layered with a short sleeve tee-shirt, and a hooded sweatshirt over it all - and is most comfortable in boy pants instead of girl pants with sneakers to top it all off.
Personality: Quiet, meek, and withdrawn are a few of the first things people will notice about her. She doesn't like talking to others, and would rather slink away than speak to anyone except for her brother. The only time she feels comfortable talking to anyone is when he's around. She has massive problems with depression and it isn't hard for others to get her into such moods - especially if making her feel even more helpless than she already does. This girl has no sense of confidence and lacks all self-esteem. She'd rather sit in the back and watch things than be up front and doing something.
Superpower: Teleportation: unlike typical teleportation where one can focus on a location and teleport there, her ability pulls her from where she is to a different location. She knows it's about to happen when she starts getting a migraine and a glimpse of where she's going *usually nothing helpful* flashes into her vision, but that's only seconds before she's torn from where she was and pushed into existence in a different location where someone is in desperate need of help.
Biography: Born fifteen minutes after her twin, there was a complication in the delivery that ultimately cost their mother her life; it wasn't her fault, the woman had been told she would have been discouraged from getting pregnant if they had known about her preexisting condition before hand, but their father doesn't see it that way. They both grew up with the shadow of their mother's death hanging over their head. When her brother first started complaining about hearing things, he was taken to an institute and she was left with all the blame on her. Not a good environment for a child to live in.
Especially not when her ability budded late and it cost her father his life when he rushed into an armed hold up to get her. These unexplained incidents kept happening, and what was worse what that - on top of being pulled to places where she could literally do nothing to help and was only an added liability - she was bounced around the foster care system and dealt with the abuse at the hands of abused children turned abusers. This finally all came to a head when she ended up in yet another dangerous situation and there were witnesses to her disappearance and reappearance. Right after that, she was sent to the asylum before the injuries received from her latest teleportation had even been treated.
Other: She has a history of cutting - but on her wrists instead of thighs and stomach like most females - and has made a few suicide attempts over the past four years. She has been put on suicide watch, and is not allowed near anything sharp, pointy, or the like.

Name: Alexander MacIntosh
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Alex stands at about five foot ten. He keeps his light brown hair cut short, and generally styled with gel so it appears darker than it should. He has the olive green eyes that are narrow in shape with somewhat thick eyelashes to help frame them. Lean, he has always had a pension to athletics - such as field and track, football, and baseball - and keeps in very good shape with regular runs/exercise and good diet. Preferring cool/dark monochromatic colored long sleeved shirt - or whatever kind of short sleeve tee-shirt on top of a dark colored long sleeve shirt - typically with loose legged jeans and sneakers.
Personality: Although he does share the traits of being more introverted than extroverted, Alex doesn't have the same inherent dislike for others that his sister does. Despite the ability, he does like to be around people - at least then he feels like there's a reason for him to hear things instead of everything just penetrating his skull. After spending most of his life in an institution, he has a bit of a social impediment and some of his sessions with shrinks is to help him learn to socialize better with others. But in this new institution, with the lack of voices, he finds himself feeling alone and seeks out group interactions - even though he's a bit slow on the uptake for how to converse with others.
Superpower: Telepathy: he hears the ambient thoughts of hose around him, with those that actually touch him becoming a booming voice that drowns out all others.
Biography: With his sister taking most of the blame for their mother's death, he did what he could to comfort her and help share the blame. Unfortunately, he had more and more problems with this as his power emerged at the tender age of seven. It got to the point that his sister's presence wasn't enough to help stave off all the voices. His father assumed it was just a form of psychosis, and sent him to a mental institution where he was pumped full of all kinds of drugs to try to combat the assumed hallucinations. He spent most of his years there, switched from one set of drugs to another and then another. When his sister's powers finally caused her to get put away, a new doctor showed up and reevaluated his condition before transferring him to the same facility.
