[@Diamond655] here are my characters. [center] [hider=Noelle Delacroix] [img]https://i.imgur.com/IIvDgNC.jpg[/img][hr][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giboAvkpoTc[/youtube][hr][hr] [color=teal][b]Name:[/b] [/color] [i]Noelle Delacroix[/i] [color=teal][b]Age:[/b] [/color] 19 [color=teal][b]Gifted?:[/b][/color] Yes. [color=teal][b]Powers:[/b][/color] [i]Bird-Manipulation.[/i] Noelle's gift manifested in the manner that she developed a mental connection to avians. It gave her the ability to sense their presence no matter where they are, and more importantly, the ability to dominate their minds. That might be a rough way of putting it, but it's the best way to describe it. Using her ability to dominate their minds, Noelle can practically command birds to do whatever she pleases, even on a large scale (She can manipulate birds three miles from herself). From commanding them to collect specific objects, to attack people. With her ability to manipulate birds comes with the ability to see through their eyes - to make a lame pun, she practically has a bird's eye view. Noelle naturally attracts birds (and other animals) to herself. It's not unnatural to see birds perched on the buildings, and powerlines, around her. If she stays in a single place too long, the birds will actually land on her. Which is a good sign that something's up with her. [i]Bird-Mimicry.[/i] What's more is that Noelle has the ability to morph parts of her body into birds. It is a painful, and meticulous transformation, but it grants her a variety of abilities. She can grow wings out her back, or turn her hands into brutal-looking talons, for example. There are many more examples of her ability. This comes with some permanent changes to her body, of course. She has much, much, lighter bones, as her skeleton is hollow. Which might sound like a detriment, but bird bones aren't fragile because they are denser to make up for it. So, Noelle can fall a little slower, and she can fly with her giant wings! In addition, she's a bit stronger, and her senses are much more keen - particularly her eyesight, since she has a bit of a Falcon-sight. Now, Noelle doesn't realize it yet, but she can transform into a giant half-bird hybrid capable of incredible strength and feats of speed. Or she can turn into a monstrously large bird with a fourteen foot wingspan. These are future feats. [color=teal][b]Skills:[/b] [/color] [color=teal][i]French.[/i][/color] Noelle is a native of France, so, naturally, she is fairly good at the French language. It's not uncommon for Noelle to break off into tangents in her native language. [color=teal][i]Photography.[/i][/color] Noelle, above all else, is [i]committed[/i] to her love of photography. She takes the most artistic photography pieces as practice for her classes. [color=teal][b]College Studies:[/b] [/color] [color=teal][i]Major:[/i][/color] Photography. [color=teal][i]Minor:[/i][/color] Art. [color=teal][b]Appearance:[/b] [/color] Noelle always had a rather stand out aura around her. She dresses, and walks, like a supermodel, and has a rather haughty demeanor. This is because of her inherent arrogance over her artistic talent, and her desire to become a model. She feels as if her soft, and rounded, facial features, are perfect for the runways and magazines. While her face is good, her body isn't. Noelle has a bit of a gut due to inactivity, nothing that'd make her obese, but she is definitely ashamed of it, and goes to any lengths to hide it while she loses this extra weight. She hides this underneath her clothing. She also isn't that tall to begin with, standing at five-three. Noelle's eyes are a light-blue color, and her hair is naturally black, but dyed an even darker color to stand out. It's very curly, but she keeps it long, nearly back length. [color=teal][b]Backstory:[/b] [/color] Noelle was born in Lyon, France, to a pair of French Diplomats that would regularly go out to different countries, and do business. Help Paris become more integrated with the rest of the world. However, after a publicized affair breaking out, the Delacroix family chose to move to America. They settled down in Aria Bay, around the time Noelle was thirteen years old. Throughout the years, she developed many friendships, and whatnot, but always had that artistic touch. An imagination that allowed her to connect with art, and develop her own ideas based off that form. With the help of a few photography classes, Noelle became an amateur photographer. It wasn't long before she finally graduated from highschool, and applied to Beacon University, Majoring in art, minoring in Photography. [color=teal][b]Friends:[/b] [/color] N/A. Noelle's only friend is success! [color=teal][b]Enemies:[/b] [/color] There's a lot of people in Beacon University that don't quite care for her attitude.

[color=cornflowerblue][b]Gifted?:[/b][/color] No. [color=cornflowerblue][b]Skills:[/b] [/color] Basketball. Arts. Auto Machinery. [color=cornflowerblue][b]College studies:[/b] [/color] [color=cornflowerblue][b]Appearance:[/b] [/color] Quite gruff at first glance, Jaden, despite his rather short height, has a serious case of resting bitch face. His face is always an unamused scowl as he moves about life. He isn't the type that talks a lot either, he tends to keep his mouth shut unless he has something to say. Because Jaden is a man that's incredibly driven, and is hard to distract. That shows in his demeanor. That isn't to say that Jaden is unemotional, he sure has one hell of a smile, and a devilish laugh. But he tends to stay generally focused on the task at hand, rather than fool around. He takes small steps, and keeps his hands in his pockets. Jaden is African-American (Primarily Nigerian, and Angolan, but he has a little bit of Afro-Caribbean in there), fairly well-built from working out, and playing sports. He has the build of an NBA player, or one in training, with firm legs, and rather well-built arms from shooting hoops (and lifting weights). Though, Jaden definitely isn't the tallest for a basketball player. He is around five-six... which is literally an inch taller than the female average. He is ridiculed by some for his short stature, but he can feel glad that there are some people out there even shorter than him. Some day he'll surround himself with short friends. [color=cornflowerblue][b]Backstory:[/b] [/color] Jaden, like most, was born in Aria Bay. He had two loving parents... well, not quite. Jaden's father, Wesley Othello, loved him quite a bit, and only wanted the best for him. However, Jaden's father seemed to have a strange complex where he wanted to live out his glory days through his son. You see, Wesley was an NBA player waaay back in the day for the Lakers, before he suffered a severe back injury while playing and had to put up the towel. Jaden, on the other hand, had little interest in sport, and instead, was born with an imagination like no other. He had a love of media such as movies, comic books, and animations, and wanted to make his own. Instead of sports, Jaden would rather spend time drawing, and writing stories that he would perfect through his ages. His father didn't like that, he wanted Jaden to succeed where he failed, whether he wanted to or not. Jaden declined, but his father was always a bit of a control freak. He practically forced Jaden to give up his arts, and sent him to Basketball camp, and whatever Basketball team he could. No matter how hard his father tried, he couldn't make Jaden give up his passion and innate-talent for art. It just became something that had to be kept a secret. The plus side to this is that Jaden had many friends that helped him develop proper social skills... though, it was always held back by his disdain of his father. He lashed out at the world because he can't lash out at his father. And he did that through some good old civil disobedience! Vandalism in the form of spray painting shit. It was the greatest form of modern artistic expression! The fun and games came to an end as Jaden aged, and decided that he wanted to head to Beacon University, one of the most prestigious schools that just so happen to be in Aria Bay. His family was wealthy enough, all he had to do was lie to his father that he was going to sign up for sports classes there... then just lie, and actually sign up for the Art classes. His father fell for it, and Jaden went to the Beacon University. Right now, he's just doing him. Living his life without his oppressive father telling him how to live. [color=cornflowerblue][b]Friends:[/b] [/color] His old gang of friends that he went out and caused trouble with. Ever since he entered Beacon University, he hasn't had too much contact with them.
