[u][b]Jake and Gabe[/b][/u] [u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [i]Jake Vin of the Valos Lineage[/i] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [i]The Master Illusionist, Mr Fancy[/i] [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Height:[/b] 5'9 [b]Weight:[/b] 132 [b]Status:[/b] New Student [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] Black [b]Eye Color:[/b] Brown [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Brazilian [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Jake is a very attractive boy. He has a slight-feminine feel about his appearance and he does a look a little girly. Nothing that'd classify him as Androgynous. What Jake really looks like is a weakling. He's very skinny, like he does very little to no physical exercise. The kind of person that can't lift weights. Sometimes people get the nerd-vibe from him too. Jake is quite slim, very skinny, with little to no visible muscles or body-fat on him. Which is good since he doesn't want to be fat. His shoulders are a little wide, though. Jake is an inch under the average height (5'9), and is quite lightweight (132 lb). Jake is Brazilian, with his skin being a light-brown color. It's obvious that he's foreign from his skin color and facial features. His skin has a few scars, moles, zits and various other imperfections, but aren't that noticeable. Other than a facial scar he has on his left cheek. It's a thin, red slashing scar that starts under his eye and goes down his cheek. It's from a bet. A good one. Jake has a rectangle shaped head. Jake's facial features are obviously foreign, and squared. Jake has a large, yet bulky, chin. With a sharp, but small, jawline. His eyes are medium sized, are a not-too-notable brown color, and usually have a bored look in them. Jake's ears are very small, point inwards, and are a little pointy at the tip. One thing people will always notice about Jake is that he's well groomed, and has great hygiene. Keeping himself clean at all times, everything really. Jake's hair is a black color, ear-length, and is straight. He keeps it in a neatly slicked back style. Jake has a tattoo on his body, which is also because of a bet. It's a black-ink tattoo that says [i]MADE IN HEAVEN[/i]. It's located on his shoulder. [b]Attire:[/b] Because of how Jake dresses, it makes it obvious that he's rich. He constantly wears a fancy, flashy attire. Often getting all dressed up for the wrong occasion. Sometimes people get the impression that he's trying too hard, or over compensating for something. Jake wears suits, overcoats, anything as long as it's expensive. Though, he's seen wearing a suit fairly often. On the island, it's pretty chilly. So he tends to wear a coat. Sometimes he'll keep his coat slung over his shoulders - With his arms not in the sleeve, and his sleeves are flapping around. Usually hanging out of his coat/suit is the chain of his treasured pocket-watch. This pocket-watch is golden, and has an intricate, well-made, design. It's [i]very[/i] important to him. If he loses it, he'll absolutely lose his sh*t. Jake needs glasses to see. He wears large, wide, thin-framed, oval-shaped glasses. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] A very calm and charismatic teen. For his age, Jake is quite mature and logical. Rarely acting childish unless pushed to it, and always uses his head. He speaks to everyone with kindness, politeness, and respect. He can come off as over-polite, however. Jake is quite moral, and follows the rules. He'll rarely consider doing anything that'd betray this. While he tries his best to be nice; Jake can sometimes come off as arrogant, or egotistical. He doesn't do it on purpose, though, and it only happens sometimes. Plus, he has a habit of overstepping boundaries and going too far - Right when he has the best of intentions. He'll feel a bit of remorse, and try his best not to do it again. Jake can be quite untrusting of some people. Being quite prejudice when it comes to them. He has a fear of being taken advantage of and used as a tool - Since that's something that he [i]really[/i] dislikes. So he's a little paranoid when it comes to some people, and it can be more detrimental than helpful. He's a bit endearing, he has to put of with plenty of things that irritate him or he disapproves of. He's not the type to b*tch about it, though, he'll suck it up. That's another thing, he can lack back-bone sometimes. He'll take things that he should stand up for. Jake likes to be the voice of reason whenever in a group. Trying his best to be the one that talks the group out of something rash or stupid. Sometimes he's listened to, other times have been naught. Thus he's just the kind of person who'd break up fights and heated situations, doing whatever it takes to accomplish this goal. While Jake isn't a violent person, if there was no other way, he'll have no problem with resorting to it. Jake can be quite clever when it comes to it. Stuff like finding loop-holes in deals, figuring out things fast, and guessing motives quite well. He mostly likes to find himself spot-on, but he can make mistakes. On top of that, he's quite adept at lying and tricking people. Jake is Bisexual. [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] Jake is interested in the oriental. Not just women, he likes Asian food, decorations, and etc. Jake is also a fan of instruments, and likes to hang around people who know how to play them. Jake also likes antiques. [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] A few. Jake has an interest in cooking, thus he's spent a bit of his free-time practicing, and trying to perfect the art. Over time, he's become a very good cook and is acquainted with many cooking terms. Capable of making some pretty good meals. Jake knows how to play the piano quite well. He's no Ray-Charles, but damn he'll be if he practices. He also knows a bit about computers, and can put one together, and take one apart if he was given the opportunity. Jake is also fairly good at social skills, and being a peace maker. Capable of easily talking people down. In addition, Jake is a speaker of Portuguese, Chinese and Spanish. He isn't a master at Chinese, nor Spanish, but he's fluent in Portuguese, he speaks it like it's his first language. [b]Prized Possession:[/b] Jake's pocket-watch. [b]Quotes:[/b] [i]"Time is just an illusion. One I can't control." "The Valos have fought for a lot of things... Money, pride, honor, love, retribution...

Too bad she was close to getting ripped to shreds..."[/i] | [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] Cerebral 6 [b]Power:[/b] [i]Pseudo-Existent Illusions.[/i] Jake is [i]the[/i] Master-Illusionist. Jake has the power to craft realistic and complex illusions just by thinking about it. He can craft just about anything his mind and imagination can produce through his illusions. These illusions aren't just your average trick of the mind, or hologram, they can be seen, felt, smelt, tasted and heard. They manifest in reality, instead of the mind. In order words, they're real as anything else. Mental defenses will not allow anyone to see through them, and they will appear in technology (Such as cameras). If Jake puts his mind to it, to say the least, they are very hard to tell from reality, and will require advanced examination to even tell if it's real or not. There are a few ways to destroy his illusions, otherwise only Jake can dispell them. Jake can do quite a bit with his illusions, and he's very adept with his ability. Now, Jake can make his illusions intangible or solid, with several levels of transparency. With his solid illusions having the same durability as what they're replicating. An illusory table would break under the same pressure a real one would. What his illusions cannot do is [i]directly[/i] interact with the real world, nor can they transfer force. An illusion punching someone would have zero effect on them. Jake can freely apply any of the five senses to his illusions. He has absolute freedom here, so he could make an illusory rock smell like the sewer, taste like ice-cream, feel like leather, and sound like a cat meowing. Crazy stuff like that. Jake can use his illusions to turn anything invisible - Usually himself. [b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] There are several ways to see through his illusions - Alternatively destroy them. Energy is the opposition to his illusion. They fade away the moment energy comes in contact with it. It can be any kind of energy, so most Meta-humans can destroy his illusions with ease. Though energy has to be of high intensity to destroy his illusions. His ability is focus-based, break his focus, even for a second, and all the illusions will disappear. While Jake has a high level of skill with his illusions, it takes a effort with the larger, more complex illusions. Imbuing his illusions with multiple senses can be quite a task. Making a large amount of illusions can also strain him. To the point of unconsciousness. He will get better at this as the RP goes along. No matter what Jake creates, his illusions cannot cause people harm, nor can they directly interact with the real world. His power has a direct effect on Jake's mentality. With a power like his, how can he be entirely sure that [i]everything[/i] is real? He sometimes gets the feeling that some things aren't real, and just illusions. Sometimes without a bit of reassurance, he can get a little erratic when it comes to it. Which is why he has his pocket-watch. It's like a Totem Pole from Inception. If he has it, and it's working, then all is well. Without his pocket-watch... Well... [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Despite near-mastering his ability, Jake was sent to the Academy to accompany his sister, Gabriela, to make sure that she doesn't do anything stupid (Details in her sheet). --- [u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [i]Gabriela Mya of the Valos Lineage[/i] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [i]Gabe, The Laser Show, The Fire[/i] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Height:[/b] 5'5 [b]Weight:[/b] 142 [b]Status:[/b] New Student [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] Dark Brown [b]Eye Color:[/b] Brown [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Brazilian [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] A very rough and aggressive looking girl. Gabe always looks like the type of girl who'd fight at the drop of a hat - And she is. She's always giving people death glares, and walking around with her fists balled up. When she walks, she empathizes her power, and walks like she owns the place. To say the least, Gabe fits the tough-girl cliche well. She does have a slightly-tomboy vibe when some look at her. Gabe is quite muscular for a girl, having well toned limbs and nice abs. She's almost at body-builder levels. Mostly because she wants to look good to impress the ladies, so she tries her damn near hardest to look like she's got the best body. And boy does it show. Gabe stands an inch (5'5) under the average female height, but is, ironically, heavier than her twin brother, Jake. Because she has more in terms of muscle mass, therefore she's the heavier. Gabe doesn't have that perfect female figure, she has more of a masculine frame than anything. Gabe is Brazilian like the rest of the Valos. Her skin is a dark-brown color, and obviously makes her look foreign. However, she has some horrible scarring due to some power misfires. There are thick, fleshy burn scars on the right side of her body. On her chest, breast, shoulder, right side of her abdominal, her hip, and plenty on her right arm, she has a connected fleshy mass of burns. These scars are horrible - But, fortunately, they are well concealed under her clothing. Gabe's hands are also covered in plenty of burn scars, which is why she keeps gloves on most of the time. One of the first things people notice about Gabe is that she's missing an eye. Her left eye is covered by a leather eye-patch with a bright-red heart on it. Underneath this eye-patch, it's burnt shut. Yeah, in general, Gabe looks like a burn victim. Gabe does make up for these horrible imperfections with her overwhelming good looks. Gabriela has pointy and well defined facial features, much her brother. She does look a lot like her brother. She's quite beautiful, in the rough way - Though, the burns and one eye does take away from her looks. Gabe has a rectangle shaped head. Her chin is medium-sized, yet bulky, she has a chin-cleft if one is observant enough. Gabe has some rather pretty eyes - No, eye -  with a brown color. Usually she's got them narrow, throwing hostile glares at people. Her nose is small, and angular, it's tip is pointed, and her nostrils are triangle-shaped. Her lips are thick and full with quite the width, like a woman should be. Gabe's ears are a bit large, and point inwards in a flat sort of way - With the ears being very round. Her forehead is very large and round. Gabe's hair is straight and a brown color. Gabe keeps her hair in a medium-length pony-tail on the back of her head. [b]Attire:[/b] Gabe dresses heavily enough to cover up her burn scars from sight, but light enough so that she doesn't burn her clothes off once a fight starts. Or else she'd pretty much dress up in the most revealing outfits. Gabe usually has a tough-girl style. Wearing clothing that'd make her look like a bad-ass. Gloves, Sun-glasses, belts with large flashy buckles, that stuff. Gabe tends to wear a bad-ass leather long-coat, because that does a good job. That is when she's out. In private Gabe is almost half-naked all the time, and sometimes even fully naked. Gabe keeps brass-knuckles in her pockets at all times in case of a fight. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] In terms of personality, most of the time Gabe emanates an aura of "f*ck off." To say the least, Gabe isn't exactly a ray of sunshine. She's quite irritable and easy to annoy, and it's super easy to do either (She'll find a reason in the slightest thing). Her body language tends to show it, as she either frowns, growls or finds something to distract herself with, the very second it starts. She tends to throw out a few comments at the person, usually snarky taunts, less-than-subtle nods, etc. Generally hints that said person is irritating her. When she's had enough, she's not afraid to tell the person to go "be an annoying cunt" elsewhere. Whether it's through words, or action. There are few people she respects, and she begrudgingly says to herself that they're "kinda not a cunt." Generally Gabe is a very aggressive, hot-blooded, girl, that's [i]very[/i] quick to anger. Who's definitely not afraid to escalate things to violence immediately. Never afraid to fight anyone, regardless of strength and abilities. Though, this attitude has gotten her into plenty of trouble in the past. Usually she's talked down by Jake before she can even do anything. She's also never afraid to taunt people, and throw sarcastic comments at them. Gabe speaks with a gruff, dismissive tone, slightly-hostile, to most people. However, around Jake, and pretty girls, she's much nicer and less aggressive. Playfully throwing in jokes and comments. Gabe is a lesbian, and prefers pretty girls that are the complete opposite of herself in terms of appearance. Gabe lacks the concept of subtly, and is brutally honest as anyone can get. She'll never sugar-coat anything, and tell things as they are. She's never afraid to let people know that she doesn't like them, indirectly or directly. Except when it's detrimental to herself. Gabe also likes inflicting d*ck-related injuries to her enemies. [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] Gabe likes sports, the kind with fighting. Like boxing, and MMA fighting. She also likes small animals, the snow/cold, music, art, and plenty of other things that aren't purely filler for this section! [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] Gabe is a capable fighter. She's been trained in quite a few kinds of martial arts. Mostly her main thing is karate, but she has done plenty of Kick Boxing and regular boxing. She also has plenty of experience to back that up. Gabe has played plenty of soccer in the past. She was quite good at it, too. Thus she's agile and quick on her feet. Despite her gruff look, Gabe is also good at a few girly skills. Such as knitting. She's a very good knitter - She'll knit you the world's greatest sweater. She keeps a ball of yarn on her at all times - Usually when she's bored she'll start knitting something. Gabe also knows a little bit about art. She can draw with a pencil... It's basic at the moment, but she'll get better. Gabe is fluent in Portuguese.

Jake thinks it isn't her fault, but whatever...."[/i] | [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] Energy 7 [b]Power:[/b] [i]Laser Manipulation.[/i] Gabe the living laser show. She is an immensely powerful Energy-type Meta-human capable of widespread destruction. Gabe constantly absorbs the light from around her, and energy from the cosmos above her (Stars, the Sun, etc) and converts it into a laser light. She can fire off laser beams of any size, power, or intensity, and can fire them from anywhere on her body, in a variety of forms. These laser beams are eye-searingly bright and travel at the speed of light - Making them impossible to dodge once they've been fired. These lasers come in three varieties: Heat (Up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit), Solid/Concussive (Hard as Titanium), and just plain old light - She can learn some other variations. In addition, Gabe is also capable of creating constructs out of her lasers, virtually anything. Swords, whips, etc, and can create barriers to block foes and attacks. However, Gabe isn't skilled in making constructs, and these constructs have to be very small for her to maintain their shape. These lasers are heavily connected to Gabe's emotions, anger and rage bring out the strongest, most unstable lasers, lasers that go beyond the established perimeters and can be much hotter than the limit - But it's a double edged sword. They're harder to control, aim, and other strange things will occur, sometimes they won't stop firing. A calm emotion allows her to easily control her lasers. To supplement her ability; Gabe has a heightened resistance to the temperature, whether it's hot or cold. She'd shrug off what'd burn most people. However, this isn't a complete resistance. Her resistance to the temperatures is better down on the deeper layers of her flesh and bones. Which means her internal organs are protected from getting fried/frozen, but her skin and the outer layers of her body is susceptible to the thermal damage, hence, her scars. If a heat or cold is too much; then it'd damage her. Also, if she shoots too many lasers, then she'd lose her resistance and be as susceptible to damage as anyone else. Gabe can learn how to curb/bend her lasers, to allow her to hit her opponents behind cover. Gabe also has one laser element that she can learn: Freezing lasers. It is also possible for Gabe to learn how to access a limited form of light-manipulation basically. To allow her to create holograms using her lasers and other goodies. [b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] The main counter to Gabe's ability are mirrors and reflective surfaces. Either can bounce her lasers away from the intended target, and back at her. Gabe's worse weakness is the anger that draws out the unstable lasers. They can become too unpredictable to use effectively, and at worse can cause Gabe some serious harm. Which is how she got those burns. Gabe's power requires restraint and carefulness, or unnecessary destruction, and friendly fire may occur. Since her lasers are bright, with every use she blinds herself and anyone around her. With excessive use of her powers they will overheat. With each laser that Gabe fires, her body comes that much closer to over heating. There's a few things that can affect this. Rate of use, intensity, and how many laser's she's manifesting. Her emotion also have a factor in this, as unstable lasers make her overheat much faster. If Gabe does overheat, her body turns off her power for awhile. Usually the cool down is a few hours. Any future attempts at using her ability during this period will push back the cool down time greatly. As her lasers are light/heat/cosmic based, metas with abilities relating to those elements can interfere with her ability. Gabe's clothes also aren't fire proof, which means she could be nude if she doesn't careful. Which is something she likes to avoid, and why she dresses lightly. Gabe's aim is affected by the fact that she has one eye, and lacks depth perception and peripheral in her eye. [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Forced to go to Academy 218 because in a fit of rage, she caused wanton destruction. She was given an ultimatum; learn to control herself, and her powers, or not have a home to come back to.
