[Stein]

Sector 6 Candidate

Name:

Vicki Vostrum

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Rich or Poor?:

Vicki comes from a moderately wealthy family who built their fortune procuring and selling forgotten treasures (art, pieces of dead cultures, tomes, etc).

Sector:

Sector 6 - Light

For/Against The Battle:

Put simply, Victoria is dead inside. She's justified her participation in the battle, seeing it as a chance to feel something or die standing for something. In a sense, she's hoping this Battle will either make her value her life or realize that it needs to be thrown away.

Power Description:

Light Manipulation - Victoria specializes in bending light. Most notable are her Hard Light constructs. Her constructs tend not to be overly elaborate as that takes time and effort she can't afford. However, what makes her formidable is her versatility with constructs. Many of her shortcomings (as compared to other members of her family) in her constructs and Light usage are solved by her ingenuity and methods for circumventing things like the inability to create large structures without sacrificing durability or her finite control over her constructs.

-She can absorb light from any source that produces (so most notably she uses the sun, but can also absorb the light from light bulbs and etc).

-Her eyes are able to take in light and see in various wavelengths such as ultraviolet and infrared.

-Along with her ability to bend light to her will, she can also bend the light around her. Most notably, she's used this ability to render herself invisible or at least partially so to the naked eye.

Power Weakness:

With most from Sector 6, her power is hindered in the darkness. She can generate her own light, but it comes at a price that has a high interest rate. Constructs she generates from her own light tend to be less durable than they would during the day, unless she focuses specifically on increasing their substance.

Weapon of Choice:

Victoria can generate beams and orbs of light for a variety of purposes. However, for the sake of ease, she tends to stick with a bow and light arrows. Her particular bow has a line of crystal running the length of it that she uses to reflect natural light and make her arrows stronger at minimal cost to her.

She specializes in being versatile with her light constructs, displaying a good amount of control over their shape and appearance.

Fighting Skills:

Victoria is a survivor through and through. The skills she has honed have come from her time in the Sector 6 Underground Fighting Arena, when she started feeling societal dissociation. The Fighting Arena was her first attempt at feeling a semblance of a joy for life. The past 3 years have seen her rise to a slightly notable fighter in the Sector 6 Arena.

Personality:

To say she is distant and cold would be a severe understatement. Victoria won't speak to you unless absolutely necessary. Her silence carries as much meaning as her words (sometimes even more depending on her facial expression), and when she does speak she will not hold her tongue. Her words and word choice are measured and repeating herself is seen as an arduous task.

However, she's not a bad person at her core. She doesn't go out of her way to maliciously attack others. And though she feels little to nothing for most people, she recognizes the value they hold in their own life. She envies that, but what's more is, she respects it. The young and innocent pain her and motivate her equal parts. Her view on the matter is that if she can't find the meaning in her life or the reason to persevere, then she should at least not hinder someone from living theirs.

Biography:

From an early age, Victoria was told constantly that she was meant to do something great with her life. Just short of being doted and praised, her family reminded her constantly of the potential she had, noting her apparent natural aptitude. However, Victoria didn't necessarily feel the same. And as time went on, she began to confirm that (in her own mindset, which was slightly biased). There was a nagging fear that followed her throughout her life, telling her that her life was meant as a cautionary tale to others: something to be told around campfires and pitied by 'wise' old men and women.

However, her parents all but ignored the brewing turmoil in their daughter, drilling their craft of light manipulation into her. She spent arduous hours, days, weeks and months learning to craft her constructs to the specifications of a shallow and overbearing mother, fattened from a good life and an even better source of income.

Her uncle seemed to be the only one who took an interest in the person behind the ability, opting to take her on a few expeditions with him. Though they didn't serve to completely relieve the mental ailment she held, it lightened her. The thrill of scouring for small treasures outside of their sector brought the shadows of legitimate smile to her face. Her parents, however, soon put a stop to that, touting that this life wasn't the one they had envisioned for their daughter.

As she grew she began to seek thrills hoping to capture the joy and meaning she found in those handful of expeditions with her uncle. The mundane and ornate life not appealing --even revolting-- to her. Her thrill seeking eventually landed her in the Sector 6 Fighting Arena where she used the training and survival skills from her family and applied it to the ring. Each punch and jab served to lighten her mental load a little. She didn't have to think, she just had to fight. It was a welcome distraction and she became adept in the arena quickly. She was by no means the best, but she was a notable fighter, especially considering her age. It was a life she kept secret, as her family would most certainly disapprove.

However as most highs go, this one she eventually built a tolerance to as well. It was then that she finally turned a wary yet desperate eye to THE Arena: The Battle of the Leviathans. And as luck--or cursed fate-- would have it, she soon found herself actually tossed into the middle of it...

Likes:

Streams of water, open air and silence. She's an observant girl who processes almost everything around her. When it gets to be too much, she likes to retreat within herself in peaceful surroundings.

Dislikes:

Ignorance, loquacious people, aimless people (they remind her too much of her own struggles)

Fears:

Closed spaces. The future - she's terribly afraid of what it will bring and if the events of the Arena don't finish her off, she might just off herself to save herself from living a life of uncertainty.

Weaknesses:

Victoria is slight of frame. Though she is much tougher than she looks, her body is still small. She's kept it this way to explore the different nooks and crannies of her sector (along with the ruins her family would take her to, in an attempt to explore and recover artifacts).

[Dark Light]

Levi Duran

"Meh"

Levi; tall, dark hair, often sporting a neat beard.
Sharp features, a toned body and a steely gaze.
He looks after his appearance simply because it is proper to do so.

Age:
22

Gender:
Male

Rich or Poor?:
Poor, by choice.
He was brought up in the upper district in his sector but when his sister was torn from his protection he abandoned all that he knew and began to sulk around the slums.

Sector:
7 (shadow)

For the Battle or Opposed?
Indifferent

Power Description:
Levi's power was late to bloom and is still considered to be at a lower level then other leviathans his age but what he has is a deep mastery, control and understanding of his abilities and their limits.

Power Uses:
Dark vision:
Like most from his sector even before leviathan abilities he had good vision in the dark, now he can make it perfect.

Shadow shroud:
Levi covers himself in a wisp of darkness that conceals his subtle moves for a combat edge.

Shadow meld:
Totally covered by shadow his appearance blends into existing shadows causing him to become invisible in darkened areas.

Shadow step:
Once consumed by shadow Levi can skim across the surface of the darkness allowing him to transport quickly over short distances to another shadow.

Shadow lock:
The ability to lock a shadow from moving, physically restraining that which it covers with its touch. The darker the shadow contrast the stronger the hold (works better in light) normal effect is a feeling of quick sand holding back the limb the shadow covers. Good for slowing opponents.

Power Weakness
Weaker when surrounded by lots of bright light.
The darkness constantly threatens to consume him the more he access it and the deeper he digs.
Being magically 'weaker' he has limited access and a shorter duration then other Leviathans.

Weapon of Choice:
A range of daggers and throwing knives

Fighting Skills:
Expertly taught and trained he fights analytically and efficiently.
Levi hasn't get enormous physical strength, instead focusing on speed, accuracy and wit. He has no qualms with being deceptive or tricky and that's why he favours his daggers which he can throw expertly.

Levi is often quiet and distant, he tries to keep himself emotionally detached from people as he sees it as a weakness (his sister exempted).
He is slow to trust and prefers to be alone.

Biography:
Coming from a rich family with quite a notable hereditary, his interests were put second place to his family's desires and interest in reputation.
Before he was even 18 they had began preparing him as a Leviathan.

His training was often long and painful only stopping for study.
His abilities were late to develop and with his parents refusing to believe he wasn't a Leviathan they only pushed him harder.

His younger sister was the only point of true compassion he had ever known, and when she showed signs of having abilities at such a young age without training he realised she was the exceptional prodigy they had wanted.

Filled with dread and fear that she might have to endure the torment he was put through he forced himself to dig deep and find his powers. It turned out to be too little and too late. She was noticed and sold off into another district. Levi escaped his strict lavish lifestyle and hid in the slums, fighting for survival and looking for a way to find his sister.

Time had eventually run out, there was a choosing ceremony the day after her 18th birthday and deep down in his gut he somehow knew his worst fears would be correct. He knew he could avoid the choosing but since he was trained for it his sister would be expecting him to be there and would probably enter just to see him. Even if that wasn't her plan he also knew that she would think that he was thinking this and enter so he didn't enter in vain.....

[Hillan]

Hey guys. I stumbled onto here, and it's making me want to come out of my hiatus. An electricity manipulator from Sector Five's cool, right?

Also, hey @Lord Wraith, @Hillan. Long time no see!

[Dark Light]

Emily Duran (Lilly)

Lily's painting

"Those that fear the dark haven't seen what the light can do!"
"Smile, it will all be alright"

Short, pretty with long glowing blonde/white hair and golden eyes. She radiates innocence with the sweetest smile. She is of average physic with soft curves from a lavish easy lifestyle. Smooth soft lightly tanned skin and a gentle touch.

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Rich or Poor?:
Very rich and proper.

Sector:
6 Light

For the Battle or Opposed?
Opposed, although willing to enter to find her brother.

Power Description:
Light manipulation
Lily's power comes from within her and not from her surrounding environment. Besides being able to create light around herself and control that in her close proximity she can also do the following with the right triggers.

Defense: when in danger lily can throw up a powerful sphere of light that acts like a force field.

Sustain: when injuries (her own or another's) are her only concern and she truly wishes it to heal, she can emit a light that will do just that.
The ability is often accompanied by a soft glowing halo that can also remove fatigue, hunger and negative temperature effects.

Last stand: when pushed to the edge Emily can release a blast of light from her hands that is accompanied by a strong concussive force. Also in times, rays or beams of similar light have shot from her hands helping her protect others or herself.

Power Weakness
While highly powerful and full of potential she hasn't mastered technical skills or control, instead more often relying on reactive abilities and luck. Her power is highly emotional based and she can't control it with will.

Weapon of Choice:
Dagger Whip and small sheild.

Fighting Skills:
Very basic self defence and some momentum redirecting martial arts.

Personality:
Bright, cheerful caring and optimistic.

Biography:
Emily has always been a bright cheerful optimistic child. Always seeing the good in people and the brights side of any situation.

Her parents were strict but good to her, she was mostly raised by servants and her brother when he had spare time. Oh how she adored her older brother and wanted nothing more than to be like him and spend more time with him, always failing to understand why she couldn't. Instead her own spare time was filled with reading and painting.

Light manipulation came easy and natural to her, at first she was so proud that she was like her brother, little did she realise she had superseded him without trying.
Levi warned her to hide it but it was hard, plus she thought they could train together if she showed everyone she was tough like him.
He never did see her as more then a child, but that was nothing compared to the look of betrayal on her parents faces when she excitedly displayed her abilities.

Her parents shun her severely after learning of her ability and took it as a serious insult. Emily was sent away on a long journey where she met a new family that she slowly came to realise was her new one. They were lovely and she made many wonderful new friends but at night she missed her brother.

Weaknesses:

BTW, finally working on my character. xD

[Lord Wraith]

I like how everyone else's characters pictures are all really well taken and photogenic, and my character just looks like he's getting a bus pass. Where do you guys get these pictures? Just google?

@fij707

Well most of them are Actors and Models, at least that's where I get most of my face claims so naturally they have professional photoshoots and whatnot done for them.

Yeah, it's good to be back.

@Hillan, what've you been up to?

I should have something resembling a CS up today. Not sure if it'll be completed, though. No promises. ;)

[GreenGrenade]

I'll just plop this here.

WIP. Emphasis on IP.

Gareth Corrigan

"I’m not going to die here. Not today."

A life spent fending for himself has left Gareth lean and defined. He weighs in at 175lbs and stands at 6’ 1’’, a smile almost always on his face, but the slight slump of his shoulders gives the illusion of a shorter, wearier man. Short, dark brown hair stands disregarded on his head, left in whatever position it finds itself in. Icy blue eyes stare out into the world, his cold gaze taking in every detail; but in rare moments, one can see the warmth he tries so hard to hide sneak back in, if only for a little while.

Age:
24

Gender:
Male

Rich or Poor?:
Gareth is from the poorer end of the spectrum, having lived most of his life trying to support himself and his younger brother.

Sector:
2

For the Battle or Opposed?
Gareth’s opposed, but at the end of the day, there’s nothing he won’t do to get back to his brother.

Power Description:
Gareth has the ability to shape, increase, form, and manipulate ice. He can use this in a variety of different ways: creating cryokinetic constructs, freezing things to the near atomic level, temporarily healing wounds, and even entering into cryostasis. He has some control over water in its liquid form, but rarely does he access this part of his power, preferring ice. The cold never bothered him anyway.

Power Weakness
For his power to work, Gareth needs a source of water nearby. While he can form ice through condensation, this requires a lot more effort on his part, draining him considerably.

There’s also the more obvious issue of heat. If temperatures are hot enough, his ice will melt, rendering his power useless.

Weapon of Choice:
Trident and combat knife.

Fighting Skills:
Life in one of Aquanatic City’s rougher districts has hardened Gareth into a formidable brawler, able to hold his own and even dominate in a fight, given the right opponent. He’s also quite competent with a trident and a knife, having used both weapons time and time again to protect himself and his brother.

Personality:

Biography:
Gareth Corrigan was a child of Sector Two, born and raised. He and his family lived in one of Aquanatic City’s poorer districts; his father worked a low-income job, and his mother was unemployed, opting to stay at home and raise him. His father, often away at work, rarely had time to bond with Gareth. As such, the boy developed a much stronger bond with his mother.

At the age of six, his brother, Daniel, was born. The moment he saw him, Gareth knew that he’d do anything to protect him. An instant connection was made, and from then onwards Gareth never let Danny out of his sight.

However, while Gareth and his mother felt only love for Danny, his father felt nothing but contempt. One morning, Gareth woke up to find only his mother and brother in the house, his father absent. While this was usually the case because of his work, Gareth knew that this time it was different.

His father had abandoned them.

The following years were a blur. His mother had managed to find a job, at the expense of her time at home. To help her, Gareth forsook his education in order to raise Danny, staying at home with him as she worked to keep food on the table. This carried on until he was thirteen. It was then that everything changed.

It was an evening like any other. His mother was due back home in less than half an hour, and Danny couldn’t wait to see her. But half an hour passed, and she didn’t come.

Likes:
The quiet.
Spending time with his brother.
Swimming.
Chocolate.
Engaging in a conversation; intelligent or not.

Dislikes:
Fighting.
Loud/arrogant/mean-spirited people.
Cherries with chocolate.
Living in poverty.
The Council.

Fears:
Gareth’s brother is all he has, just as Gareth is all Danny has. To lose Danny is unthinkable. To have Danny lose him is unfathomable. Making sure this doesn’t happen is what keeps Gareth going.

Being helpless, just as he was the night he lost his mother. To be unable to do anything, to be deprived of his power, to be weak; that is what he truly fears.

Weaknesses:
Calm and collected on the outside, Gareth is just a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Years and years of struggle and pain have piled themselves inside, ready to burst in a fit of emotion. The only question is: when?
He only trusts his brother, anyone else be damned. This extends to his next weakness: his pride. No matter what situation he finds himself in, he will never ask for help. If there’s anything life has taught him, it’s that it will never come.
He’s had no education, other than what his mother had taught him before her death.

Other:
Like @Mach2, I’m in a weird timezone. Living in Australia does that to you. I’m generally 10+ hours ahead of everyone, so when you guys are having a party in the OOC, I’m sound asleep.
