Running (Superhumans awaken)

[TheUnknowable]

A week ago people started waking up with super powers. All of these powers were tied to their most intense desires from the day before. That night they had dreamed about having their powers, the mind's attempt to learn about the new ability it detected, and when they awoke they could do it, though without the emotion to drive it, it was weak.
The day that the first of them started to "awaken" the government started sending out the FBI, NSA and even local SWAT to round them up and take them away, ostensibly for the "protection" of the people. The ones that didn't want to be rounded up fought back, and the government used that to declare them to be "terrorists". According to the media narrative, we are genetic experiments done by various anti-America groups. These "terrorists" started to band together to fight back, but the government merely used that to instill more fear in the people.
There are people who say they are willing to take these "mutants" to safety, but not all of them are trustworthy. Some of them will simply haul you off to the middle of nowhere and enslave you.
The fact that many, if not most of the people that are getting powers are children means that those with powers can't simply rise up and fight, as the children must be protected.
We will have to use our powers to protect these children, at least until we can get them to safety.

@TheUnknowableDone.

[TheUnknowable]

Appearance:

Name: Guy Presley

Age: 30

Gender: Boy

Skills: Mechanic, electronics

Power: Repulsion blasts (blue beams which push people or things away. Has enough punch to cause blunt force trauma. When he gets angry or focuses enough they turn red, which make them tear apart their target.)

What gave you your power?: He likes to be alone, but the day before he went to a family reunion. There were dozens of people around and they just wouldn't leave him alone, especially the children. He just wanted them to get away from him, and wished he could make them back off.
That night he had a dream that he was fighting people. He kept knocking them back with beams from his hands, but they kept getting up. Eventually he got extremely nnoyed and tried firing it two-handed. A ball of red energy formed between his hands, the color shifting like a glowing piece of coal, and when he fired it the man was blasted backwards. He looked at the man and saw that his chest was torn apart, like the guy in "Alien", but far worse. The shock of it woke him up. When he tried to push himself up so he could climb out of the bed he was pushed out of it by those same blue beams.

Personality: He's an anarchist, and doesn't have a lot of respect for authority figures, especially those that use force to maintain their power. He likes to learn how things work and likes to build things. He's not a violent person, preferring to solve thing through logic and negotiation. He will use violence to defend himself and others, though.

Bio: He went to tech school to learn to fix machines, including electronics. After that he got a job working in a factory, keeping the machines running. It's a boring life, at least until he got his powers.

[corrosive]

Name: Sylar Aaron Castor.

Age: 18.

Gender: Agender ( He/They pronouns. )

Skills: Quick, generally good at negotiation, very calm in bad situations.

Power: Empathy: The ability to fully interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others.

What gave you your power?: A certain amount of discomfort used to stem from his parents arguments, which ultimately lead to his growing frustration because no matter how good he'd become at trying to rationalize between the two, the fights continued and one particular fight escalated and that was when his power first showed itself. Suddenly he could understand fully how the two were reacting and feeling and it made it much easier to calm them and the fighting grew less and less.

Personality: An eccentric who often makes light of the world, he's noticeably very chill and seems to get along with most people. Never the type to pick an argument or get angry very easily. He seems to hold himself with a quiet control and he barely blinks an eye when he's challenged, though it's not to say that he's invincible and he becomes nervous and upset when situations don't seem to go in the way that he wills them to or imagined them going. A lack of control can make for a very uncomfortable situation with him and he tends to struggle to be in control at all moments.

Bio: He grew up in a fairly stable home, save for some argumentative parents and a yippy dog. He took up a job as a waiter after he finished school.

@BlizzCan you add some detail about how your power works and what you can do with it? Also, can you add how a desire for vengeance links to shadow powers?

Name:
Alessandra 'Alessa' De Luca

Age:
17

Appearance:
Alessa stands at 5 foot 6 and has a thin build. Her skin is rather pale, a result of her sheltered upbringing. Her hair is a jet black, and travels slightly past her waist. She has a scar that travels diagonally across her forearm, but has no other scars or tattoos other than this.

Gender:
Female

Skills:

• Great with pistols and revolvers
• Can speak English, Chinese and Italian fluently and knows a few phrases of French
• Knows how to sew clothes, along with various other 'home economics' based skills

Power:

Alessa's power is to travel through and make things travel through reflections. For example, she could travel through a mirror, no matter how small, and to another mirror in a location that she knows about. Along with this, she can travel through things like reflections in water and eyes. This allows her to do things like chuck a stone through a mirror and have it come out of a pool of water.

What gave you your power?:

Her vanity combined where her yearning to be elsewhere at many points in her life combined to give her the power. Her power first showed itself after a rather heated argument between her parents was going on as, Alessa put on her makeup. She fell through her mirror and came out through the one in her bathroom. Suffice to say, she was shocked.

Personality:
The first thing most people notice about, Alessa is her outgoingness combined with her stubbornness. She's happily talk to anyone, as long as they weren't some weirdo, but it's extremely hard to convince her of an opinion that isn't her own, and even harder to stop her talking when she gets on the topic of something she likes. A risk taker, Alessa is quite brave and courageous when it comes to danger, having been in far too many dangerous situations for a girl her age in the first place.

Bio: What did you do for a living, what do you want us to know about your history, etc.
Alessa was born on a snowy night in the middle of December in Naples, Italy. To understand her story, you must first understand her parents' story. Her father was the son of an Italian mobster, and had taken the reigns for the American side of the operation at the young age of 19. His father had arranged for a marriage with him and the daughter of a Triad gang boss. While the two fathers were ecstatic about the concept of joining the gangs and conquering America together, the children were less than pleased. There was little to no chemistry between them and Alessa's mother was pretty sure that her husband was gay for a large part of the start of the marriage.

They got on as well as they could, and eventually gave birth to, Alessa. Her early life was as sheltered as possible. She was home schooled by hand picked teachers and any friends she made were vetted and threatened with violence if any arguments broke out between them and Alessa. Because of this, she didn't keep many friends very long. Her one lifelong friend was her main teacher, a man by the name of, Tony. Tony was a former home economics teacher who had gotten a place within the mafia after accidentally saving the life of one of the higher up members children. He subsequently quit teaching and became the right hand man to, Alessa's father.

He taught her practically everything she knew, taking teaching duties not only for home economics but also for English, Maths and French. He quickly became her best friend, incorporating fun into his lessons along with all the knowledge needed.

Her sheltered streak came to an end with her teens though, as a more rebellious attitude emerged along with a longing for more human interaction than that with her family and their friends. She practically forced her parents to allow her to be enrolled in school, a private one of course. Upon arrival, she realized she wasn't exactly on the same wave length as many of the other girls. While most girls childhoods were filled with playing with barbies and styling their hair, Alessa's childhood was filled with learning how to fire guns and protect herself in a fire fight. Luckily enough for her, she was taken under the wing of one of the more popular girls, who in turn taught her the meaning of vanity and transformed Alessa from a tomboy into a regular, slightly vain girl.

Her time at school was cut short after a rival gang threatened to shoot it up after, Alessa's father tried to expand his territory. From then on she only went to school for one or two days a week, and the rest of the week was spent in home schooling.
