Is this character totally and unashamedly based off the video game Prey? Why yes, yes it is!

Name: Koda Yuhashira

Age: 24

Appearance I:



Personality(Optional): Koda would say his defining personality trait is compassion, and indeed he does love to do a good deed, so much so as to go out of his way to help even a stranger, but his inquisitive nature is most dominant; more than anything, he wants to know, to understand. On the other side Koda might confess his worst trait is his impulsiveness, jumping to a task without any planning or organization, but his elder brother would label him flippant, not fond of taking any situation seriously.

Occupation: Koda works as an Assistant Researcher for the Director of Research of his family's company; the Talos Group. His job requires assembling and tinkering with complicated machines and discussion of complex scientific themes across a wide range of subjects, and though he is intelligent and grew up surrounded by the company's projects, Koda is only in his first month of work and barely staying afloat.

History (Optional): His parents were well off, not quite 'never need to work a day in their lives' rich, but wealthy enough that they could do something big with their money. That something was the Talos Group, founded by themselves and their group of friends almost the second they graduated from college. Their research went into cutting edge technologies like space travel, fabrication, computers, and genetic modification- and, on the sly, human experimentation, mostly on themselves, and then as they grew larger, on quietly collected volunteers.

While Koda enjoyed indulging in research binges on everything from archaeology to artificial intelligences, his elder brother Kenan was far more business savvy, and earned a place in his parent's company effortlessly, with Koda piddling about with his friends heedless of his future. After several years in and out of college, catching a variety of small jobs here and there, Koda acquiesced to his parents' wishes and joined the company as an assistant to the Director at the Talos building in Lightbridge.

Semblance Type: Unfettered.

Semblance Appearance (Optional): The mask does not depict a face, but rather something like a piece of a helmet; made of triangles melded together to make a oval-ish dome around the face, akin to a geometrically inspired space helmet. It is dark in color, near black, and fades from near opaqueness at the top, to just enough transparency to barely make out the lower half of the face beneath. At eye level, shining through from the underside of the glass-like triangles, there is a perfect circle of blue light, as if to call to mind a cyclops with just one great big eye.

Semblance Abilities:

Etheric Form: Koda's body no longer behaves as it normally should, while on the surface it appears normal, it can be made malleable with thought, becoming a shimmering grey-black substance akin to solids, liquids, and gases all at once. The new flesh, even when not out of shape, is still durable, but while exceptionally mutable in both shape and color, the form is also elastic and will always return to the base.

Mindjack: In a word, telepathy, but more complicated than simple and intuitive speaking with the mind and much more like learning an alien language using an imaginary tongue. Koda can perceive thoughts and inject his own into others', but it is a slow skill to learn and foreign thoughts will always be recognizably alien. With significant amounts of training, and enough will, Koda might even be able to fill empty brains with his own thoughts. Necromancy anyone? Let's hope the muscles still work...

Psychoshock: A psychic attack, or an electric attack, he isn't sure... Koda believes he somehow charges and directs his own body's electrical (or psychic) energy to attack a target's physical form, harming their nerves or energy or... something, harming their something. The attack has little effect on inanimate objects beyond causing random momentary glitches in electronics, or simply causing a metal object give anyone who touches it a harmless static shock.

Appearance II: Koda looks much like he did before, only the etheric nature of his form is much closer to the surface. He appears to wisp at the edges, as if dark and slick smoke was rising from his form, the substance shimmering like shadowy liquid but wafting quietly like slow steam, and constantly in motion, almost like snakes or tentacles crawling in a shadow. At any moment it looked as if the darkness at his edges would collapse inwards and all that would be left was a maw of writhing black... but for now there was a human before the shadow, even if the scleras of his eyes were deep red.

Fallen Information (Optional): Nofec was a hunter, and a killer, selfish and hungering. They were not evil, though many would name them such, they simply couldn't care for others, they were incapable of empathizing, and thus addressed only the wants and needs of themself, and foremost among those needs were a deep ache for more. The more they ate, the more they grew, the more they knew, the more they were, and as a being who recognized only itself, growing more was the only way to feel less alone.

Consuming everything and everyone in sight however, was not conducive to making friends and staying alive, and so Nofec was forever silenced after only days of life.

Sorry peps, but I'm failing all of my classes so I gotta drop this thing.










'Mr. Ross' he'd said, it sounded so formal, as if they were business associates. Aden raised an eyebrow, but let it go; at least he knew these were the right people. Probably. They knew his name anyway. He didn't like the way this was going though, what sort of 'problems' were they up against here? Why were people freaking out and why were they in Greece? These people were speaking English, and there was little evidence anyone was familiar with this place, so why come? What was with the portals? Were they running from something?

Somehow this meeting was shaping up to be about as dangerous as he suspected, but not quite in the way he'd been imagining.

He stayed closer to the healer than anyone else, mostly because they all seemed... strange. Except for the one dubbed O'Ryan, he looked very adult-y and put together. Someone was ordering the group around, taking the violent one and some of their downed members away to... somewhere. He decided to avoid that group, not that going with the mind-control group sounded at all enticing. What had he gotten himself into now?

He crossed his arms and tried to look both tough and non-threatening, ending up with an uncomfortable grimace instead of either. He could feel the threat of getting mind-whammied or thrashed with a tornado hanging over his head if he stepped on any toes. Whose bright idea was it to bring magic back again? Someone stupid, that's who.













Aden cringed away from the surge of violence and general... upset, that struck several members of the group suddenly, but finding the man (kid really) he'd been looking for kept him from disappearing. These people were like him, or he assumed they were given they were traveling together even if he hadn't seen all of them use any magic.

They didn't seem to be in a position to hold any introductory talks, so Aden just nodded a greeting and fell in at the edges of the group. One of the girl's losing her mind was swiftly dealt with through a show of force, which he was quick to take note of. The hierarchy here seemed to be led by violence. He took a more defensive, hostile stance, eyeing those nearby in case they thought they'd try and make him their bitch. Aden answered to no one, especially not a bunch of jacked up kids with superhero complexes. He'd see how things ran, for now, but he was already devising a plan of attack in case he needed to escape. Or take control.

First impressions are killer.

He adjusted his sunglasses, which would have been a subtle threat if anyone had been aware of his abilities, but otherwise made no move to interfere with the group dynamic. They could sort themselves out, and then they'd get on their way, and then he could decide if these were really the kind of people he wanted to involve himself with.













Aden ducked behind the barrier around the balcony at the sudden disturbance, slipping on his sunglasses just in case he needed to blast a calenallum at any attackers. Luckily whatever was happening seemed contained to the streets below, and not directed at him. He took a moment to steady his breathing, annoyed at himself for being so paranoid. Just because the message had been a little mysterious, and the location a bit far-flung, it didn't mean anyone was out to get him, he was just... overthinking, that's all.

He stood again, looking down at the area the noise and light had come from. There was a myriad of new people that hadn't been there before. He couldn't name any of them, so who knew if they were who he was supposed to be meeting or not. Given the blatantly magical nature of their arrival however, well Aden was growing increasingly doubtful of anything resembling the word 'coincidence'.

Before his eyes traffic cones and official looking cordons appeared in the area. People began to leave, but Aden wasn't close enough to tell if they were suspicious or not. If he had to guess, they were too calm about the ordeal to be leaving without some kind of influence- and despite having no such spells of his own he knew they were possible. After a moment all that remained were the newcomers- or who he assumed to be newcomers, he hadn't been looking when they popped out of... wherever.

After a moment he decided to approach, looking both ways to make sure no one outside the area was looking, and then began focusing his magic around himself for flight. He accidentally knocked over a pot as the force of his power rattled the gravity nearby. He jumped, becoming weightless, and drifted towards the ground where the group was standing. He shuffled nervously for a second, glancing at each face searchingly, then; "Anyone here called Alex?"















He never told his mom how he made it all the way from St. Louis to San Francisco, only that he'd flown. He let her assume it was on a plane, and shrugged when she asked how he'd paid for it. He was beginning to realize his mom's home wasn't the Eden he'd hoped for; she was suspicious of him, her other kids didn't like to be around him, and her husband was content to watch him dig his own grave. Aden had too many secrets already, and his cagey attitude about why he'd run away from his dad wasn't helping his case. For some reason he'd expected to seamlessly integrate with this perfect life his mother had escaped to, but that wasn't the reality at all.

He would be leaving once the summer ended, this time to a dorm at the college. He wouldn't be reminding his mother of her mistakes from there, but at least he'd be away from his dad too. Or that had been the plan anyway, but as the summer stretched on... he had to get out. Luckily there was a message for him, mixed in with the emails he received about his financial aid being refused.

Maybe he shouldn't have been so trusting, but he wouldn't know until he got there. He'd never been out of the country before, even with his new abilities he hadn't considered the possibility. He was eager to see Greece though, and meet with others like him. Would this be the Eden he'd missed out on? He was reluctant to hope.




He left in the night, with his few belongings. Even if this meeting didn't pan out he wasn't going back there. It took him a few hours to reach Greece, a very boring stretch of time spent mostly watching cities fly by, and then trying to sense movement beneath the waves as he flew over the Atlantic. He may have slowed down over Europe, but he only stopped once in Italy for lunch, which he somehow managed to talk the shop owner into accepting his US Dollars instead of the Euros he didn't have. It was't long after that when he dropped onto the roof of a random building in a random city on the Greek west coast. He kept losing service every time he used his magic to fly, so he wasn't sure if it was Epirus, or even Greece, but from a bird's eye it looked vaguely like the right place.

He plopped down cross-legged on a balcony just below the roof he'd landed on and pulled out his phone. Service was spotty at best, and kept fizzling out. He wasn't sure if he was outside his coverage range or if it was the lingering effects of being exposed to the electromagnetic manipulations of his powers.

It was almost a whole hour later before the phone finally connected to the internet long enough for him to check his email. He replied to the one who'd emailed him, hoping he'd get a timely response. He took a picture of a nearby sign that looked like it might be a city name and hoped it didn't say something stupid like 'Coco's Pizza!' He sent it, as well as the attached message; "I'm in Greece, where do I go from here?" Epirus was a small area of land compared to some American stretches, but it still wasn't all that specific. He hoped this wasn't some kind of sinister trap, he'd hate to be on some kind of wanted list.

B I O & T H I N G S

H I S T O R Y
Aden was born in St. Louis, Missouri. His parents divorced early in his life; his dad was violent and manipulative, his mother got out while she could, and remarried across the country, leaving him behind. He had few friends, only managing to maintain a few acquaintanceships with people who wanted to use him to improve their grades. Things began to come to a head when he started hanging around with sketchy characters and rebelling against his dad. Coming into magic was the final straw, prompting him to finally stand up for himself. The confrontation turned violent, but he soon realized magic had changed very little for him, so he made his own change; moved in with his mom’s family for the summer and severing all ties with his dad.

Magic was complicated for him, it wasn’t the first time weird things had happened to him, and while before it was easily dismissable as harmless imagination, now he could cause real damage. He hid his abilities and continued as he had before, indulging the power when alone, but pretending as if everything was normal. One of his biggest worries was what the magic meant for him, where his place was in the world now, but without anyone to answer his questions he could do nothing to satisfy this. The message he received however was eagerly taken, and he left as soon as he could to find his own kind, hoping he’d finally be okay once surrounded by people in a similar situation as himself.

Vidasang (Change/World); Blood can be used to heal wounds. The blood can be taken from any source, but incompatible blood, meaning animal or of different blood types, is changed to become compatible. The further from compatible it is the more energy is needed to change it, meaning a snake’s blood would be more costly than the spell is worth, but a human’s would work fine. The spell works best on open wounds, but has some effect on broken bones.






Mag-ascensor (World); Electromagnetism is used to manipulate the gravity around the caster to achieve flight and increase movement speed. Perception remains unchanged, making extreme speeds disorienting. Can also be used to make things nearby slower or easier to lift.






Vermellum (World); Uses electromagnetism to blast a telekinetic force at a target, appearing as a small red missile of light. Can be shaped to be sharp or blunt for specific types of damage or other use.






Calenallum (World); Creation of light so hot it can melt metal, start fires, and blind onlookers. The light can be controlled or it can radiate outwards in a blast. Must be used cautiously lest the user be burned or blinded.






Electripell (Change, World); Skin gains a bio-electric outline, integrated to sense nearby movement and shock anyone or anything that makes contact.






Animar (Change); Animates inanimate objects such as rocks or shattered debris into golems of various sizes to follow simple orders like ‘go there’, ‘carry this’, or ‘attack that’.
