Akane wasn't one for drinking, she was more of a tea kind of person. Everyone else started to react to what the man said and at the presence of the syringes. But she shut them all out, all she could focus on was the thought of what could happen next. What was the harm of just walking out? Would they stop her? The man mentioned that they would be like a family, but from what she's experienced with her own, she didn't want that with these people. She had Akio and Ashi, her parents were in prison but she could go visit them every so often. But the way Jin mentioned the word family, it resonated with her. As if something inside of her yearned for it. She wanted to feel like she belonged, and not like an outcast. Sure everyone else had different reasons for being here, but in the end, they all shared something.

Akane picked up the syringe and held it in her hand. There was no going back if she injected whatever it was inside of her. There were a few others that were already on board and started the process of injections. Akane knew that she shouldn't delay much longer, it was now or never.

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath she injects herself and time seemed to pass by slow. Many thoughts rushed through her mind as the liquid entered her body. Her past came up, along with her family. The time that they discovered that she was quirkless and the pity that filled everyone's face around her. Memories of playing the piano and painting watercolors in the park. Flashes of news broadcasts detailing what her parents had done, and when they were caught; brought in by their eldest daughter. Akio and Ashi separately vowing to take care of her, in place of mom and dad. Then when she received the letter, granting her a once in a lifetime opportunity.
All of that ran through her mind in an instant. She had to replay the same thought- remind herself, "There's no going back, there's no going back." Her eyes lids felt heavier, breathing felt sharper. All the flashbacks she was having started to take a distorted shape to them, a black filter was starting to cover them. She was forced to open her eyes when she felt something awaken inside her and a voice spoke from within.
"Hello Akane~"

House of Powers (reboot)

Location: Auditorium -> Cafeteria

Eliza first thought her nausea was due to prolonged jetlag from her flight to California. Then men in bio-hazard suits kidnapped her from her Santa Monica beach house, everything after that felt like spending a night with Paris Hilton - a.k.a a blur. Before Eliza knew it she was seated in a spacious auditorium with a few others. She hardly paid attention to the woman up front, but the explanation of the whole "x-men with a twist of Ebola" seemed fake to her. Eliza was so sure that her sister Elaina set this whole thing up as some ruse to remove her from the picture. It wasn't until the woman up front produced a clone of herself did Eliza requestion every thought and theory she had about the place. It sent her into a shock but before she could react the men in the bio-hazard suits ushered them out of the auditorium.

As they headed to the cafeteria Eliza caught a glimpse of a door with the number 8 and her name directly under it. She then wondered if any of her stuff brought in when they kidnapped her. Small chance, but she'd like to know if her treasured Gucci night slippers made it, otherwise nothing would keep her sane in this facility.

She wasn't in the mood to eat, the food especially didn't look up to par with her standards. There was also the mention that they would have to make their own food in the future, a thought which scared Eliza. World-renowned chefs ensured her every meal- she'd rather starve if it were any different. But nevertheless whoever made the food still worked for it, something Eliza had to respect as she reluctantly took a tray. There was a small group already gathering at a table, she decided it was best to attempt connections. She took a seat next to one of the people and set her tray down.
She didn't bother to touch the food but took sips of the blue liquid since everyone else seemed to trust it.
Then someone finally spoke up, a man with glasses who asked the group of their opinions concerning what just happened in the auditorium.
Eliza couldn't help but shake her head, "I thought it was nonsense, or some cruel prank my sister is playing on me but now I'm questioning everything I know." She replied, scanning the rest of the group to see who was stuck in here with her.

Akane woke to the sound of relaxing piano music coming from her phone alarm. She woke up with one arm stretched and the other rubbing her eye. Picking up the phone she looks at the date - August 25, 2020. On a nightstand next to her bed sat a letter one that she received about two weeks ago, hinting at a mysterious opportunity. She was curious what that opportunity might be and kept the letter, but now the day to meet has arrived. Of course, no one else around her knew about this, she kept it hidden from Akio and Ashi. If they knew she was going to a shady part of town to meet with strangers about a vague letter, they'd all have heart attacks. But Akane wanted something in her life to change, and it seemed like this meeting might be that change.

Akane got out of bed and went through her morning routine-
Wash up, get dressed, wake up Akio, wait for him to cook breakfast.
And while Akio was in the kitchen, Akane sat in the living room and couldn't help but read the mysterious letter repeatedly, analyzing every word, every punctuation.
The way it was worded, it was flattery at its finest but something about the last few words made it seem almost like a threat.
"Breakfast is reeaady!" Akio sang out, causing Akane to flinch and quickly hide the letter.
"C-coming..." Akane replied softly, but the anxiousness of the day's meeting hadn't left her. Something that her brother would take notice.
"Is something the matter sis?" Akio asked talking through chews of scrambled eggs.
Akane avoided looking him in the eyes and instead focused on finishing her breakfast,
"I just have a lot of errands to run today that's all..." Akane tried hard to avoid being obvious that it wasn't errands that she was going to do today.
Akio sighs and starts to clean up the table
"Alright, don't stress too hard okay? I have some jobs to do today so I'll be home late, Be careful sis."
Akane nods and picks up her bag to leave. The meeting wasn't until later in the day, so it wouldn't hurt to walk around the city.

Tokyo was a city of full of life. And as Akane walked around she took notice that the world of quirks was full of life as well. Everyone in some way, shape, or form exhibited the ability to have a quirk. It might not be a mutation or obvious but the way everyone carried themselves on in the world, differed from those who were quirkless. She wasn't bullied for not having a quirk, her siblings made sure of that, but Akane couldn't help but wonder what a comfortable life she would lead if she had one. So when this letter came to her, she was confused on how the person behind this letter saw any ounce of potential in her... but she was going to find out soon. The time nearly came to meet in the designated location. She hurried to the front of a shady pub and was almost immediately reluctant to go in. But the crowd that gathered outside pushed her in with them.

A man that went by the name of Jin greeted them and proceeded to vaguely explain why they were all there. Akane was still very confused, the meeting seemed too nonchalant despite the topic of what was being discussed. When containers were presented to the group Akane couldn't help but take a step back. Many questions ran through her mind, and she was sure the others were the same. She took a look at the container with her name on it. She bit her lip and opened it to reveal some sort of syringe with a fluid inside of it. It confused her greatly and caused her to look around the room in a frantic, hoping the others knew what to do. But it didn't take long for Akane to figure out that whoever put the syringe in here intended it to be injected inside of her. She looked to the man who had talked to them earlier, she swallowed the lump in her throat and raised a hand, "Um... is this safe...?" Was all she could muster up.

I'll be gone for most of the day but I'll have a long post for tonight to make up for it

Akane Taoka

[GENERAL INFORMATION]
“My name is um… Akane Taoka, nice to meet you. I recently just turned 20 and I’m female.
[PERSONALITY]
“I guess I’d say I’m quiet and more reserved. I don’t like to fight nor do I like loud noises… which is all a surprise considering who my family is. Both my brother and sister are always telling me how clumsy and oblivious I am. They don’t think I’d last long if they weren’t always there to watch me. But I’m trying hard to be independent. I want to show my family that I’m strong and can handle myself.
I love animals… especially small dogs and cats. I like eating sweets too, listening to music, and taking naps. People say I’m childish for liking those things but what’s the point of living life if you can’t enjoy it?”

[BACKGROUND]
“My family situation is complicated… both my parents and my older brother Akio are considered villains. I don’t necessarily agree with their views but they aren’t bad people… not to me. But my older sister Ashi holds a lot of disdain for them, she became a hero and vowed to stop them. Mom and dad are both in prison because of her, so it’s just Akio. You might have seen it on the news frequently but those two are always fighting, it always comes down to a draw though and Akio slipping away.
As for me…everyone just wants me to lead a normal life. Given my personality and situation it would be hard to be a good villain or an outstanding hero. Ashi and Akio are always looking after me… ironically without the other one knowing. It’s sort of like a secret shared custody. I don’t let them know either because I’m scared I might lose them forever. I managed to get into university, I have an apartment that me and Akio share, though he is always out and about. But I’m just trying to do the best I can despite not having a quirk. But I’m tired of being looked upon as weak. Then when I got your message, I can only think that it would be the only chance I can prove something to my family.”
[SKILLS]

“I play the piano well, I like to play calm and relaxing pieces, sort of reflecting myself if you put it that way. I’m uh also good at watercolor painting. It was a hobby I picked up after my parents… got imprisoned. I guess I’m good at being calm in almost every situation? I get called listless a lot, I think that might be true. I don’t fight like I said, so I don’t know how useful I’d be even with a physical quirk…”

Ghastly Desires

[NAME]
"My quirk? Uh… I call her Nomei but I think she likes to call herself Ghastly Desires."
[DESCRIPTION]
"If I activate it, I transform into Nomei. She has her own personality but luckily I am awake the whole time and can scold her/try to stop her if she goes too far. You can say that she does what I’m incapable of doing. She’s not exactly a shadow, more like a ghost. Meaning she can phase through solid structures and levitate objects."
[DRAWBACKS]
“Nomei isn’t able to touch anything living. Thank goodness too because I’m afraid of what she’ll do if she had that ability. She makes up for it by using inanimate objects to her advantage. Though she can levitate them, they don't move very fast, and she only has a limited range. She also has a scary personality. Morbid and crude. Which is why I never activate the quirk at night, it’ll put her in full control and that would be horrifying. Daytime is when she is weaker but easier to control. I also can’t stay as Nomei for long, the more she uses her skills the more energy it drains on me. Which is why I take naps even more frequently now. And though anything solid can phase through her, any attack that she isn't able to phase through will harm her. I guess that's most of the downsides.”
