Keats. He never really liked the name Samuel, and thinks Keats sounds tougher. If asked, he is likely to pretend that there is a deeper meaning to it.

Keats could best be described as physically menacing. He is muscular, well-built and much taller than average, with several burn scars on the back of his right hand. His blonde hair is intentionally slightly messy, and his blue eyes shine with an arrogance that makes some people immediately dislike him. Aside from his stature, the most striking things about him are his arms and legs, which are almost entirely wrapped in various long white strips of cloth that resemble bandages, visible due to the vest tops and shorts that he tends to wear.

| [color=#FFBF00][b]Personality[/b][/color] |

Keats can be a little ‘difficult’ to put it lightly. He has a tendency to pick fights with others, for no other reason than being bored at the time. He is arrogant, almost unbearably so, a fact that is almost made worse by the fact that he can actually back it up most of the time. He doesn’t find it easy to accept the authority of others or listen to orders when in a group, and is likely to stubbornly ignore them completely unless they come from someone he respects. 

He views people who allow themselves to be treated badly by others as weak, and tends to try and protect them from harm. While an urge to protect the weak may be an admirable trait in most people, it is far from ideal for an aspiring villain. It is somewhat cancelled out by the way that he himself treats the weak, with disgust and borderline venomous hatred. This means that despite wanting to help others, and deep down caring that they don’t get hurt, he comes off as a bit of a bully.

Most of his attitude towards weakness stems from his insecurity. He portrays himself as being tough and cold-hearted in order to try and hide his more sensitive side, which he is afraid to show to people in case he loses their respect. He hides his interests such as singing and stargazing from others for this very reason. Once he gets to know someone, this tends to come out a little more, making him easier to get along with as he drops the 'tough guy' act a little bit. Not to say that he won't still slap you if you get on his nerves.

| [color=#FFBF00][b]Abilities[/b][/color] |

Textile Manipulation – Can control materials such as cloth in almost any way he sees fit. This means that he can direct its movement, increase its durability until it is as tough as steel and use it to carry out tasks as he sees fit. When being manipulated, materials become much more durable and are able to exert more force and carry more weight than otherwise.
Enhanced Physical Fitness – His physical fitness is amplified slightly, meaning that his strength, speed, agility etc. are higher than an average person’s.

| [color=#FFBF00][b]Limitations[/b][/color] |

Textile Manipulation – He must make direct contact with the material with bare skin to begin manipulation. His control only extends to materials such as cloth, etc. that would normally be used in clothing. While he can increase the strength of a material, there are certain properties that he cannot affect. For example, if a material is highly flammable, then it will remain that way when being controlled.

Enhanced Physical Fitness – The boost is not incredibly large, and only amplifies what fitness he already has. This means that his fitness is only slightly above that of a professional athlete. It does not enhance his endurance or regeneration, meaning he is just as vulnerable to taking hits as the next person.

| [color=#FFBF00][b]Place Of Origin[/b][/color] |

Mesa, Arizona

| [color=#FFBF00][b]Family[/b][/color] |

Natalie Keats – Mother: A reserved, but slightly cheerful woman. While she never decided to be a hero or villain, she is able to manipulate earth. 

Frederick Keats – Father: A former villain - ‘Takedown’ - with super strength. Mentored his children from a young age, and was the one who decided to send them to Delphina together.

Jane Keats – Sister: Samuel’s twin sister, always much more controlled and calm than her brother. Often looked after him and covered for his mistakes. Could manipulate metal, and was in the same class as her brother at Delphina. Deceased.

| [color=#FFBF00][b]History[/b][/color] |

As far back as he can remember, Keats was always competing with his sister. He was born first if only by a few minutes, a fact which he would endlessly remind her of, but at everything else, it always seemed like she was one step ahead. Schoolwork, she got As where he got Cs. Staying out of trouble, she was always the one having to drag him away from fights. Even when it came to discovering her powers, she managed to beat him to it, finding hers a couple of months before he did.

They would always train together, under the supervision of their father, who was thrilled to find that both of his children had powers. They trained all aspects of their powers against each other, week after week trying to improve, but at the end of the day, Keats always seemed to come in second. Still, both of them became effective combatants and well-versed in their powers, and grew to be close friends as well as siblings.

When they were both accepted to Delphina, their parents sent them off with a smile, and Keats promised them that he would look after his sister no matter what happened. As it turned out, she really didn’t seem to need his help, topping most of her classes with what seemed like relative ease. To his credit, Keats didn’t leg far behind, and managed to do well in his own right. The pair of them would often call their parents and boast about how well they were doing, much to their father’s delight.

On the night of the fire, Keats was outside, stargazing alone. He’d had an argument with his sister which was mostly his fault – sometimes he would find it hard to deal with her outclassing him – but he’d managed to cool off, staring at the constellations with a smile on his face. It was only when he smelled smoke that he realised something was wrong. 

Panicked, he rushed through the crowds, trying to find Jane, growing more and more afraid the longer it took. It wasn’t very long before he heard a familiar voice screaming, more afraid than he’d ever heard her before. Desperate, he tried to rush in, but was held back by a teacher, who knew that it was simply too late for him to help her.

He remembers screaming, fighting and trying to make sure she knew he was there, that she wasn’t alone. That he just wanted his baby sister to come back, that he was sorry. He remembers having to make the call to his parents and tell them that he couldn't keep his promise.

[i]”Spider boy’s alright by me, I guess. He can get on my nerves, and I wish he’d take things more seriously now and again, but there are worse things than having fun with life, I guess. From what I know about the fire, he’s one of us, and can come through when it counts. "[/i]

Keats really doesn’t mind James too much. While the guy’s failure to take things seriously can annoy him, he at least respects his abilities and actions during the fire. They stay out of each other's way as much as possible, and he’s okay with that.

[color=#FFBF00]☯[/color][color=ABB2B9][b]A L L E N . H O P S[/b][/color][color=#FFBF00]☯[/color]

[i]"Don't really know the dude. Heard that he was getting people out during the fire, though, so I can respect that I guess. Must at least be a half-decent guy."[/i]

Keats hasn't really interacted with Benny enough to have an opinion, but he noticed his actions during the fire and has a slightly positive impression.

[color=#FFBF00]⚜[/color][color=D8BFD8][b]M I L O . U S H K O W I T Z[/b][/color][color=#FFBF00]⚜[/color]

[i]"Apparently Luke's a bit of a dick to him, which I'm not one hundred percent cool with, but I've never really been around to stop him. A lot of people seem to think I'm in on it 'cause of that, but I'm not okay with picking on someone that vulnerable. We've met a few times outside of school, and he isn't a bad kid. Hopefully he'll start to fight his own battles sometime."[/i]

Keats doesn't mind Milo at all, despite what many people assume. If it comes to it, he'll probably tell Luke to lay off him a bit. He does think that Milo needs to stop relying on people to protect him so much if he wants to be a hero.

[color=#FFBF00]☯[/color][color=00aeef][b]C A R M E N . C H A V A N A[/b][/color][color=#FFBF00]☯[/color]
[i]"Don't really know her much. Apparently her and Luke hate each other, which isn't really surprising. She's Mayweather, though, so I'm not exactly a fan. She doesn't seem quite as stuck-up as some of them, but I'll see."[/i]

Keats doesn't know much about her, but is slightly hostile on account of her being a Mayweather as well as her hatred of Luke.

[color=#FFBF00]⚜[/color][color=0072bc][b]T E R R A N C E . O ' B R I E N[/b][/color][color=#FFBF00]⚜[/color]

[i]"I know the guy from boxing, and we've sparred a few times. I wasn't sure about him at first, but after talking to him a few times, I think he's okay for a Mayweather. Of course, he can't beat me in the ring, but he's got decent potential and a good attitude. Don't tell him I said that."[/i]

Keats has a friendly rivalry with Terry from boxing practice, and they spar together on occasion. He respects Terry's efforts to improve and his competitiveness, and is secretly happy to see him getting better at the sport. Just as long as Keats can stay one step ahead, that is.

[color=#FFBF00]☠[/color][color=darkcyan][b]E L I A N A . L O V E L A C E[/b][/color][color=#FFBF00]☠[/color]

[i]"Don't know much about her. Apparently her mom's a teacher? Great, hope she doesn't go holding that over people's heads. Still, that'd be what I'd expect from a Mayweather. Assholes."[/i]

He hasn't really interacted with her personally, but doesn't like the idea of the teacher's kid being at school. Especially if the kid's from Mayweather.

[i]"Some people have things to say that the world needs to hear. Other people have things to say that no-one needs to hear, and are lucky to still have teeth in their heads. I'll let you guess which category this guy falls into. I'd hate him even if he was from Delphina, but a Mayweather with that kind of attitude? Get out of my face."[/i]

Keats doesn't like him. At all. His brutal honesty, self-righteous attitude and the way he speaks to people really gets under Keats’ skin, and it has taken a lot of self-control for him to avoid trying to hurt him.

[color=#FFBF00]☠[/color][color=deepskyblue][b]W I L L . B L A K E[/b][/color][color=#FFBF00]☠[/color]

[i]"Look at me, everyone! I think I'm so smart and special and such a hero! Give me a break. He needs to figure out that he's not the only one with powers in this school, unlike whatever middle-of-nowhere dump he spent the rest of his life in. "[/i]

He doesn't like him much at all, and finds his attitude really irritating. While he doesn't annoy Keats as much as some other students, he's definitely not on the Christmas card list.

[i]"Ice queen’s alright. The nickname suits her as far as I’m concerned, she seems kinda cold to me. I think a few of the guys like her? Don’t quote me on that."[/i]

Despite being in the same classes, he hasn’t really interacted with her too much. From what little they’ve spoken, his impression is positive. At the end of the day, she's from Delphina, so she can't be all bad.

[color=#FFBF00]☠[/color][color=springgreen][b]A V A L O N . M I D D L E T O N[/b][/color][color=#FFBF00]☠[/color]

[i]"First impressions? Don’t like her.  I mostly see her swanning around like she owns the place, messing with everyone. I don’t need some Mayweather girl trying to waltz into my spotlight, thanks."[/i]

Her behaviour really gets on his nerves, mostly because of his own arrogance clashing with the more attention-seeking parts of her personality.

[color=#FFBF00]☯[/color][color=40E0D0]B R O O K L Y N . M C K E N Z I E[/color][color=#FFBF00]☯[/color]

[i]”She seems pretty nice overall, but there’s something off about her. I can’t put my finger on what it is, but something makes me glad she’s one of us. Just a feeling in my gut, I guess. Might not mean anything.”[/i]

Keats thinks that she’s pretty cool, although they haven’t talked very much. Based on his impressions of her, he prefers her to many of the people at school even if something about her makes him uneasy. That isn’t really saying a lot though.

[i]"Eh, he’s too quiet. I wouldn’t bother talking to him if he was one of us, so why the hell would I want to interact if he’s one of them? Best case scenario, he stays out of my way."[/i]

Keats doesn’t know much about him, so his attitude is just the typical one that he holds towards Mayweather students, with a little bit of extra dismissiveness thanks to Jackson’s quiet nature.

[color=#FFBF00]☯[/color][color=215435][b]M I T C H E L L . D A N F O R D[/b][/color][color=#FFBF00]☯[/color]

[i]"Right, Mitch. Yeah, he seems like a pretty cool dude, although the whole telepathy thing freaks me out a little. Still, he’s not a bad guy. Glad that he’s at Delphina and not Mayweather. Just as long as he doesn't spend much time in my head."[/i]

Personality wise, Keats thinks he’s a pretty good guy. The only problem is that Keats is not entirely comfortable with the idea of someone getting in his head and seeing through his confidence, so he gets a little unnerved by his presence. If he can get past that he’d be willing to be friends with the guy.

[color=#FFBF00]☮[/color][color=662d91][b]L U C A S . F A R W E I G H T[/b][/color][color=#FFBF00]☮[/color]

[i]"Yeah, Lucas and I are buddies. We train together, hang out a lot of the time. He was friends with Jane too, before... Sorry, that's a bad subject. Sure, maybe he can be a bit of a dick, but if a bunch of wannabe heroes can’t handle someone being a little mean to them they’ve got no business being here. Luke’s the only guy here that’s actually willing to do something about these Mayweather assholes, and I really respect him for that. Unlike the rest of them, he isn't just gonna sit around and pretend we can all get along. I've got his back."[/i]

Keats looks up to Lucas, and is happy to call him a friend. He views Lucas as the only person in the school that knows what he’s doing, and they share the same attitude towards the fire. They also train together, and Keats is starting to give Lucas some boxing lessons.

[color=#FFBF00]☠[/color][color=silver][b]J E S S I C A . S T E R L I N G[/b][/color][color=#FFBF00]☠[/color]

[i]"Yeah, staying away from this girl. While I’m confident that I can take on a lot of people, she is not someone I could beat in a fight, and I get the feeling she’d like beating the crap out of me. If I thought I could do the same to her, the feeling would be mutual."[/i]

He doesn’t like her, but he isn’t about to pick a fight with her. After all, his powers can only deal physical damage, so he knows he wouldn’t stand a chance as much it pains his ego to admit it. Right now, his plan is to keep a safe distance and not get his bones broken. 

[color=#FFBF00]☯[/color][color=Crimson]E L I J A H . M A S T E R S O N[/color][color=#FFBF00]☯[/color]

[i]”Full disclosure, he creeps me out. Sorry if I sound like an asshole, but he does. He never really did anything to me, but his face never changes, and besides that he has fire powers. Fire isn’t something I’m a fan of, alright? You know, for obvious reasons. Anyway. Guy’s creepy. Guess I wouldn’t call him an enemy though.”[/i]

Keats tries to avoid Elijah as much as humanly possible. There are a few reasons for this, reasons one through five being that he really, really can’t stand looking at fire after his sister’s death. Other than that, he just thinks that the guy’s a bit strange, and is weirded out by his presence.

Keats hasn't interacted with her enough to have a strong opinion, but from what he's seen he's not too bothered by her other than her choice of school.

| [color=salmon][b]In Depth Appearance[/b][/color] |
Standing at around 5'6" and 130 lbs, Amy doesn't particularly stand out compared to a lot of the people at first glance. She has a [url=https://www.askideas.com/media/33/Watercolor-Hummingbird-Tattoo-On-Girl-Back-Shoulder.jpg]tattoo[/url] of a hummingbird on her shoulder blade that isn't generally visible to others due to the clothes she wears, which aren't particularly revealing. Most of the time, she just wears casual shirts along with jeans and battered old sneakers. Her hair tends to be styled to stay out of her face, although there are a few strands that seem to fall there no matter what she does.

Her makeup is fairly natural, clearly not intended to draw attention to her at all. Her ears are pierced, and she tends to wear fairly small silver earrings. Other than that, she doesn't wear much jewellery. She normally seems to be smiling to herself a little bit, like she's in on a joke that no-one else is. This can make it seem like she's laughing at people, even if she doesn't intend to give that impression.

If someone looks closely, they might notice that she carries a small extendable baton under her jacket. This is mostly to use in conjunction with her powers - what's the point of shutting down someone's abilities if they can still beat the crap out of you?

Amelia is a very controlled person. She isn't proud of having powers, and thinks of herself as slightly seperate from other supers. Partly as a result of growing up thinking she was normal, and partly because the nature of her powers, she doesn't make it a part of her identity like many seem to, thinking of herself not as a super, but rather as a normal person who just happens to have powers.

She is quite the optimist, and tends to try and keep others feeling positive about things while still staying realistic. Preferring to keep a low profile and avoid confrontation, she doesn't make a big fuss over most things, although she will happily talk to people. She can be quite trusting initially, although if someone betrays her then she won't listen to them again. 

One of the few things that can make her angry is when people talk badly about people without powers. She has a little bit of an inferiority complex from comparing herself to people with more physically impressive powers in the Academy, and it is an easy way to provoke her into action. If someone does make her angry, though, she can be surprisingly ruthless in her attacks to the point where it can get out of proportion in terms of violence.

| [color=salmon][b]Abilities[/b][/color] |
Advanced - Negation Field: Amy can completely nullify the powers of people in a controlled radius around her, excluding her own minor power. She can extend and retract the boundaries of this 'field' at will, though it is always at least somewhat present, generally confined to the space within her own body. It does block telepathy from affecting her, however.

Minor - Instinctive knowledge: Upon coming into contact with any man-made tool, Amy instinctively knows how to use it at a high level. This ability also extends to computer skills, making her an impressive programmer and occasional hacker.

| [color=salmon][b]Limitations[/b][/color] |

Negation Field: Amy cannot control who the field affects, only the radius of the field. This means that it can hamper her allies as well as her enemies. She is also vulnerable to attacks from outside the field, meaning that if she is caught off-guard she can be taken out quickly.

Instinctive knowledge: While her technical skill is high, her actual physique is still that of a normal human being. Her ability only seems to work with whatever the tool was designed for - if she was fighting with something not intended to be a weapon, she would be fairly useless at wielding it.

| [color=salmon][b]Place Of Origin[/b][/color] |
Glasgow, Scotland

| [color=salmon][b]Family[/b][/color] |
Mother: Abbie Stevenson: The manager of the family cafe in Glasgow, with a penchant for expensive jewellery. No known powers.

Father: David Stevenson: A mechanic at a garage. No known powers.

| [color=salmon][b]History[/b][/color] |
Growing up in Glasgow, Amy was always a pretty normal girl. Sure, sure, she was good at stuff. Top of the class when it came to painting and sports like javelin, but nothing that couldn't be explained by just being naturally talented. Her intelligence was always a little above average, but nothing seemed too impressive about her, and she didn't really have the drive to push herself into taking a degree, leaving school at 17 with slightly above-average grades. 

After half a year living at home, unemployed, she ended up landing herself an IT job thanks to her impressive programming skills - something that seemed to come out of nowhere - she spent most of that year helping people out as much as she could at a small company. Sadly, it wasn't to last, and around a year after she'd taken the job the offices were attacked by a rogue super. 

An air manipulator, he massacred the people in the office quickly and brutally, flying past the windows and launching projectiles that caught them off-guard. When he came to Amy's floor, she was standing at the window, watching in horror as he moved up the building. As he floated up, their eyes locked she felt a cold, almost empty feeling extend from her, and the man's psychotic grin morphed into a look of confusion and shock as his powers failed and he was sent spiralling towards the pavement.

Amy herself was almost as shocked at what happened, but the realisation that she might not be as average as she thought eventually sunk in. Even if she realised that she'd killed the man, she didn't feel particularly sorry about it. Sure, normally the death penalty was serious, and it didn't really happen where she lived, but some people really did deserve it, you know?

She began to practice manipulating the field, realising that she could extend it around her at will. In her attempts to try an discover her secondary power - supers had those, at least as far as she knew - it occurred to her that her skills with painting and programming might not just be a coincidence. Buying a series of assorted tools, she tested each of them, and sure enough, she could use them perfectly.

Realising that she was no longer content with just being another girl working in a dead-end job, she made the decision to apply to Mayweather in the United States. Once she got there, she tried not to stand out too much, keeping her head down and making sure not to tell anyone her power. 

To her irritation, her main ability was useless in the control room, leading most people to see her as one of the weakest people in the entire Academy. The only people that give it a second thought seem to be the school's telepaths, whose abilities her field blocks from taking effect even when she restricts it to within her body. 

No-one in the school - well, schools - has actually confronted her to her face, but she suspects that it is only a matter of time before they go for her.
