Something Extraordinary [High Free/Low Casual]

Josh Wright

Appearance:
Name: Joshua Aaron Wright
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species: Extraordinary
From: Campsite

Ability: Wing Manifestation - Josh has a pair of large, white, birdlike wings. He can use his wings to lift himself off the ground to take flight and glide. He can't fly too high, however, as the lack of oxygen at higher elevations would quickly cause him to suffocate. He also needs a wide area to take off and land without risking injury. He normally keeps his wings folded behind his back, but they are always present. While he is able to fly, his skill level is more "gross motor skills" than anything too dexterous. He can take off, land, and fly in straight lines. He hasn't mastered finer things, such as turning or hovering.

Light Manipulation - This gives him the ability to focus the light particles in his vicinity into orbs or beams. The most focused of these manifestations can cause concussive injuries, but doing this quickly drains his stamina. Using this power makes the area around him darker and colder. He has mastered basic shapes, such as orbs, and since these were the only requirements for his "miracles", he never attempted to improve, either by experimenting with different shapes and forms, or with varying intensities. In other words, his abilities are rather basic.

Light Healing - He is also able to focus light particles for the purpose of healing others. This power doesn't seem to affect his own body, however, and once again, using it too often or in too high of concentration drains his stamina. He is quite skilled at recognizing wounds and injuries, and he can heal most injuries with his abilities. He is completely unable to heal lethal wounds; the more intense the wound, the more time and energy it takes for him to heal.

Weaknesses: Josh is at a very confusing point in his life right now and his willingness to "go against the grain" could possibly be exploited. While he is slow to anger, it is difficult for him to calm down afterward. He tends to see things in black and white, and he's very self-conscious about his wings, and worries about hitting people or objects win them.

Personality: Aloof ~ Sarcastic ~ Patient ~ Cynical

Likes: Being by himself, Being useful, Rain, Learning New Things

Dislikes: Being Alone, People who take advantage of others, Conflict

Job: Assistant at the General Store

Bio: Joshua is the only son of an evangelical pastor and his wife. Because of several complications with the pregnancy, no one was sure that Josh would even survive to come to term, so when he did, his parents considered it a miracle. Then, as if by divine design, their child pretty much became the angel that they had thought he was! From an early age, the winged child would be taken to service after service, and made to perform small "miracles" using his light manipulation abilities. To the devout, Josh was seen as a messenger from God, while those who were more cynical merely saw the whole thing as a sideshow performance.
Josh grew up knowing only the church and its ways, and he had taken to it, like any good angel would...though he could never, for the life of him, reconcile his personal moral compass, and God's alleged love for all living things, with the atrocities that he knew happened in the world on a daily basis. This internal conflict came to a head when he turned 18.
He and his family were at a service, and Josh was laying hands on a sick, elderly woman. Outside, he and the rest of the congregation heard a loud commotion. A few of the churchgoers, including Josh, ventured outside to see what was the matter, and found themselves confronted with an anti-Extraordinary demonstration. Upon seeing Josh, the crowd turned angry and belligerent, accusing Josh and his family of being "freaks" and "charlatans". Josh's father stepped forward to attempt to quell the angry crowd, and was struck with a blunt object for his trouble.
This set Josh over the edge. He stepped forward, gathering as much light energy as he could around him while quoting bible verses about the wrath of God and calling himself "the Hand of Righteousness". He unleashed the energy he gathered, injuring several of the protesters and even some of the congregation.
When he saw what he had done in his blind fury, he felt extremely guilty and immediately turned himself in to the authorities, where he spent time in the local jail. While there, he had a lot of time to reflect on his actions, and the life which had led him to this point. He decided then and there that he wanted out. He wanted a new life, and to be beholden to no one but himself.
His parents were oddly accepting of his decision, and it was here that the prospect of the Summer Camp was brought to his attention. A place where he could be among his own kind? And maybe sort out his life?
He couldn't wait to sign up!

Mister Business

Name: Marc Müller

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Hider

Marc stands at 5'10" tall and weighs in at a lean 164 pounds. He's a Caucasian with jet back hair and piercing blue eyes. He has several scars from stab wounds and gunshots from his long career.

Backstory: Marc's parents are German expats who fled the country when Russia began its expansion into Europe. When they arrived, Marc had not yet been born, and his parents spent a few years traveling around the country, both obtaining jobs in education as educators. When Marc was born, they settled in Ankora to officially begin their lives in the United States. Marc's father ended up as a college professor at the local university, while his mother stayed home to raise her child. For the most part, Marc led an uneventful life, but he had grown up knowing about Vigilantes. When he was in high school, he even got to witness a Vigilante performing their job firsthand when the diner he and his family had been dining at was suddenly held up by a masked gunman. From out the corner of his eye, another masked stranger spring into action and attempted to apprehend the gunman. A brief struggle ensued and the gunman ran. Wanting to help in some way, Marc stuck his foot out into the gunman's path, tripping him. The Vigilante was on him seconds later, and nodded his acknowledgement to Marc; this event stuck with the teen for the rest of his days and marked a turning point in his life. From then on, he wanted to be just like them, and began training himself in the martial arts. For a time, he donned a mask and went out on nightly patrols as "The Marked Man"...until he was arrested.
After a brief stay in jail, he went through the proper channels to become a full-fledged government agent. At least then, he could still punch badguys, but get a government check for it.

Personality: Marc is a pretty laid back guy. He's downright friendly to people he respects or sees as allies. As Mister Business, he adopts a persona that he's a no-nonsense vigilante who will stop at nothing to get the job done. He'll occasionally trade witty banter with his opponents, but that's pretty rare.

Vigilante Name: Mister Business
Costume: Along with the suit in the first picture, Mister Business also wears a mask made of carbon fiber:

Hider

His suit jacket also has carbon fiber sewn into it, and the vest has a layer of Kevlar.

Abilities/Skills: Marc is an expert in Eskrima and Aikido. Through his career, he has earned more than a few contacts in the underworld.

Equipment:

Hider

This simple-looking briefcase contains most, if not all of Mister Business' equipment for the mission he is on. However, this is not a mere briefcase. With a few flips of the latches, the case folds into a boxy-looking submachine gun that fires rubber pellets. A hollowed out section of the case can fire small balls filled with magnesium and potassium nitrate which detonate in a manner similar to a flashbang. Within his suit jacket, he keeps a collapsible stun baton. While he is proficient with knives and handguns, he prefers to use non-lethal weaponry.

Alignment: Marc is the quintessential government agent whose loyalties lie more with his country, rather than a particular person of cause, making him Lawful Neutral at best, and Lawful Evil at worst.

Reputation: Mister Business isn't the most famous Vigilante, but those who have heard of him treat him like they would any other government agent: with a healthy amount of distrust.

Accord Compliance: Marc still had a criminal record from his "Marked Man" days, but as long as he continues his employment with the government, he's seen as compliant.

Looks like Mister Business is going to have a lot of enemies. :P

It's my pleasure! ^_^

Howell's School for the Uniquely Gifted. [OPEN]

Alyson Reynolds

Name: Alyson Reynolds

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Looks:

Hider

Disability: Misophonia (her trigger is the sound of human speech. Pretty much all human speech...) As she doesn't like communicating with others, she's also effectively mute.

How they got disabled: As far as anyone knows, she was born with it. It's hard to say for sure.

Sexuality: Straight

Personality: Alyson doesn't like engaging others in conversation (because of the aforementioned misophonia), and always carries a notebook and pen with her, in case she wants to talk to someone which isn't often. This tend to give off the impression that she's...well...kind of a bitch, a fact which isn't lost on her. Those who understand her disability and oblige her find that she's actually pretty friendly, though she always seems to be in a bad mood.

How they feel about disability: In a word, she hates her disability. Imagine being enraged by the voices of the people you're supposed to love, and who love you. Or being annoyed by the people you are supposed to be listening to. Movies, songs, etc...these things are essentially nails on a chalkboard to her.

How they came to the school: Her parents sent her to this school in the hopes that they would be able to acclimate her to the sound of human speech.
