[INDENT]Canadian - French, Icelandic, and Welsh[/INDENT] 
[color=Forestgreen][b]Physical Appearance:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Noelle is a girl that stands out due to two things; her eyes, and her hair. Her eyes are a bright-green color, and round almond-shaped. Quite large, too. Easily the most pronounced part of her face. As for her hair, it's standout because of it's wavy (Almost curly) hair texture, and how it goes straight to her back. Which creates a sharp contrast with her white, ivory skin. Which means she fits the raven hair, ivory skin trope! However, Noelle puts on a rather friendly, bubbly, demeanor. One that has the ability to practically disarm anyone! You probably won't ever assume she's a threat. Though, she has a habit of hiding her face. All because of a nasty scar that she has on her face. One that appears like a blade went right through her face starting from the side, and then going to the other side. Well, like I said; it's all a font for the real Noelle. A harsh, and domineering aura that only arises should the situation call for it. 

Noelle is obviously Caucasian, she is a Canadian girl with genes from France, Iceland, and the Wales. This makes her look pretty European from anyone's perspective. Mostly, she looks Icelandic because of her striking green eyes. Her skin tone itself is pretty light, she isn't pale, or anything like that, but she's certainly on the lighter side. Mostly due to her genetics, she spends plenty of time in the sun to keep her skin fresh and healthy. Speaking of which, Noelle skin is pretty clear... if you don't count the many scars that she has. She has the scars from battle. Most notably, she has a scar on her midsection (towards her left side) that goes from under her chest, to the start of her waist. Like she was stabbed. She also has a scar on her eyebrow that takes the shape of a V, and goes to the area underneath her eye. She has a scar on her shoulder. What helps her appear at her best is all the wondrous skin care products she applies.

Going on about her build, Noelle is pretty tall for her height, which merely adds to her intimidation factor. She's Five-Nine, and pretty well built. She has done plenty of working out due to her job, and is somewhat muscular. Not so muscular that you would expect her to start looking masculine, but she definitely lifts and does plenty of cardio (and never skips leg day). You would only notice if she were to disrobe enough for someone to see her. Due to her genes, Noelle is very curvy for her height and weight. Her breasts are 42C in terms of size, and her behind is equally big. These are features that the girl loves to flaunt. Her European roots shows in her striking and pronounced facial features. Her face is oval shaped, and her facial features are quite sharp, and blend into each other quite well. Starting with her full, pointy-lips, which are barely disproportionate to her medium-sized button nose that is round and compact. Her ears are a crescent shape, and are larger than she'd like them to be. In fear of being called dumbo, she keeps them hidden behind her hair. I've already gone over her eyes.[/INDENT] 

[color=Forestgreen][b]Attire:[/b][/color] 
[INDENT]There's two sides to Noelle's attire: either it's stylish, or it's very practical. On the stylish side, Noelle doesn't really dress to stand out. She wears a modest dress shirt, button-up, or other shirt, and she wears jeans, khaki, or cargo pants. She often accessorizes by wearing jewelry, or the sort. She doesn't like skirts, or dresses, so don't expect her to wear anything of the sort. She may wear a dress to a party. But, don't expect her to go anywhere unarmed. Along with a small pistol that's easy to conceal. On the other side of things, Noelle dresses much more practically when the situation calls for it.

[/INDENT]

[color=Forestgreen][h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3]

[b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Noelle's personality seems fairly straightforward. She seems fairly cheerful and chipper on the exterior, seemingly always having something to tell everybody. She always calls herself an open book, and is willing to tell everyone everything. Seemingly having a problem with lying, or not being straightforward. She hates dishonesty, and whatnot. With a solid moral core, of course. But, despite her infinite kindness, Noelle is a woman that has an open hatred of Metahumans. All because of her experience in the Verthaven disaster, she will never forgive Metahumans.

Of course, all of this is just a front.

Underneath it all, Noelle is a very bitter, and conflicted woman that is almost the exact opposite of her persona. She's just that good at acting. Noelle, in actuality, is a bitch in almost every sense of the word. Rude, condescending, arrogant, and domineering. She is not a noble woman that fights for justice, but only for her own goals and self interests. She thinks that she's hot shit, and that mostly everyone is inferior to her in some way or another. Which is why she rarely gives anyone the time and place; she just stays focused on her mission, and let the idiots do their thing. In interaction, she reveals little about herself, if she isn't giving someone the silent treatment. She's very quick to get annoyed, and she won't hesitate to lash out against someone, and call them very unkind things (Whatever she can think of based off what little interactions she had with them). Noelle certainly is quick to peg people as fools, and inferior to her. Though, she treats people with apathy more than anything.

However, even she's wondering if that's the right way to live her life. Noelle has softened up a lot, and is somewhat slowly adopting the "cover" she made up for herself. Though, she understands that she is fundamentally a terrible person by many people's standards, and deep down, wants to change. Noelle knows that going on like this won't work, so she's at least [i]trying[/i] to change. Except, she's going about it the wrong way; pretending to be a different person rather than face her problems directly.

Her social skills are fairly good, even if she looks at it the wrong way. She's constantly keeping an eye on people for body language, and trying to notice changes, before deciding on the next thing to say. So, she [i]carefully[/i] thinks about what she's going to say next, even if she has to wait a little while. And this shows even in her front. She can be fairly friendly, albeit a bit bitter. She isn't afraid to speak her mind, and plays little mind to the people who don't like it.

Deep down Noelle does desire affection above all else, and is willing to take it from just about anyone good looking enough to pipe her interests, and smart enough not to annoy her. She does desire a legitimate romance with people, not one forced because of her job, and not a quick bang. She wants someone to stand by her side, and be there. However, Noelle has been a bisexual woman since her teens. Experimenting with friends helped her discover herself, and she finds herself truly attracted to people similar to her. Cute boys and girls who see her as more than just a pretty little face, people who understand her, and won't judge her. However, Veronica is repulsed the idea of sex. Being forced to seduce many, many, people she wasn't attracted to tends to do that. Now, she'll only have sex with those she's willing to open up to completely (I.E It'll require a lot of courting and dedication).

Back in the day, Noelle's morality was loose, and she had the capacity to do anything. Kill people, steal, and ruin lives. But, back then she was a lot of things she isn't now. Veronica is haunted by her past, and everything she did, and everything that happened to her. She finally feels as if she's taking accountability for her actions, for once, and is feeling the weight on the world bearing down on her. All Noelle wants to do is come to terms to her actions, and find a purpose for herself. Because all she feels is emptiness, that she has nothing to fight for.

Ultimately, she wonders if there's a reason for her to live.

[/INDENT] 

[color=Forestgreen][b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] [/color]
[INDENT]Noelle enjoys a wide variety of exquisite foods and drinks. She tries to treat herself like a classy lady, and hold up that persona. She does like some sports, while she loathes the likes of football, she definitely enjoys soccer, and especially Tennis - the latter is mostly because she plays it. She loves the people that do play it. Now, Noelle is also a fan of nice long, fancy, baths, in which she takes them within the confines of her apartment. She likes to spice it up with various bath bombs, different soaps, etc. While she finds this embarrassing, Noelle is also a fan of anime, and cartoons, and it's something she does on her downtime.[/INDENT]

[color=Forestgreen][b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [/color]
[INDENT]When Noelle was still in school, she became quite an expert at Tennis. Her footwork, reflexes, and speed are quite good along with her skill. She doesn't play it as much - but whenever she gets the chance, she stops by a tennis court and practices (At times, plays some scrubs at it). Being a native of Quebec, and otherwise French-Canadian, she knows how to speak French fluently. In terms of social skills, Noelle is quite charismatic... and manipulative. She knows how to make people bend around her finger to do as she pleases. Along with being a very convincing actor, she can turn any man or woman into silly putty. Noelle's time with the Founding Family's forces have also taught her combat skills. Not only using her power, but fighting without it. Noelle knows her way around a gun, and prefers pistols above all else. She's behind quite a few assassinations, so you can trust her to make it look like an accident. Hand to hand is also something Noelle is quite skilled at, being trained in Krav Maga and Judo during her time with the IU. Combined with her Metahuman ability, Veronica was easily one of their best fighters.[/INDENT]

[color=Forestgreen][b]Goals/Motivation[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Noelle wants to make something for herself. After achieving all of her goals, Noelle really doesn't have much left except for emptiness. After the rage and hatred subsided, Noelle realized she doesn't have a whole lot going for her. So, now, she wants to enjoy life for all it's worth.[/INDENT]

[color=Forestgreen][b]History/Bio:[/b][/color]

[hider=0.1 A cover][indent]Now, the story that Noelle gives everyone is that Noelle was born in Lyon, France, to a pair of French Businessmen that would regularly go out to different countries, and do business. However, after a publicized affair breaking out, the Delacroix family chose to move to America. They settled down in Verthaven, around the time Noelle was thirteen years old. Throughout the years, she developed many friendships, and whatnot, but always had that artistic touch. However, everything went horribly wrong when the Verthaven Disaster happened, and both of her parents were killed. She was one of the many survivors of that shit storm, along with her "brother." Since then, she lived in Seattle, before moving to Baybridge after the fall of the Founding Family. She now works at a University in Silver Hills as a French teacher, and has been happy doing that for several years now....

If probed, a convincing amount of records pertaining to madame and mister Delacroix will appear. All the way to census reports, and even a passport from France. However... all of this is forged due to contacts that Noelle made while in the Founding Family. That brother? Someone that owes her a favor. 

Actually, the Delacroix family [i]doesn't exist[/i]. Noelle is just one cover of many for one woman. [/indent][/hider]

[hider=1.1 Misspent Arrogance][INDENT]Noelle actually started out as a completely different person; Jacqueline Rory.

Hailing from Quebec, Jacqueline is the daughter the owner of a profiting bio-engineering company - Alec Rory. Jacqueline lived the privileged life, baby! However, unlike most people, she didn't really have mommy and daddy around. Due to the fact that the circumstances of her birth weren't ideal for either party. Her mother was a young, impressionable, model who was looking for fame, and her father took advantage of that. Getting the model to sleep with him in order to get herself a name. She agreed - and Jacqueline was the result of that relationship. Now, her father was too busy running his company, and didn't have the time to interact with his daughter, and her relationship with her mother was shaky at best. So, Jacqueline was left in her father's mansion, and in the care of a team of maids and butlers. Which meant that it was up to them to raise her... and the results weren't pretty.

What was more was there was more to this company than her father let on. This simple laboratory was one of the many that had ties to the Founding Family. One of the organization's fronts, in fact. Jacqueline's father was using this in order to get backdoor deals on their fancy serums - also helping them target Metahumans to kidnap. All in the name of money. 

Growing up, Jacqueline didn't exactly develop a kind heart. Taking what little interactions that she had with her parents to heart, she developed the idea that she had to be great to get to the best places in life. Better than other people - and that she could step on them as she saw fit. This trait manifested and became pronounced during her time in school. Going through school, Jacqueline did everything in her power to become the best. The best looking, having the most friends, and excelling in school - due to her father's influence, she could go to wealthy, high-class, schools. Even if she didn't legitimately accomplish it, she did a few backdoor deals in order to accomplish it. She became the epitome of hubris, and she had plenty to back it up. Due to her ruthless pursuit, she gathered a lot of friends in school. 

Jacqueline's main claim to fame was Tennis. She drove herself to become a Tennis star, boasting that she would become a professional, and laugh at everyone underneath her. Jacqueline's interactions with her father was limited, but served only to further her attitude. They had a positive opinion of each other - being quite similar in many, many, respects. Despite the fact they remained distant from each other, he was the only person Jacqueline came to seeing as an sequel. However, Mr. Davis was all about seeing his daughter become the best. Using his backdoor deals with the Hands of Science, he managed to purchase a power serum for Jacqueline. She was, at first, very hesitant, but after realizing all the incredible things she could be capable of, she took the serum. Just to put herself on par with the freaks that roam this world.

That's when Jacqueline developed the ability of telekinesis. Immediately, objects around her began to start floating, and she realized what was happening. She was controlling it, and after freaking out a little bit at the sudden rush of power, Jacqueline came under control. After she realized that she had this amazing power. She quickly vowed to learn it, realizing that it was just proof that she was superior to other people, and took pride in her ability. All in private. Whenever she was alone in her room, she'd bring some dinnerware, and play around. Despite practicing, she could never quite get it down. It took her years until she could get a grasp on it. Though, this was something that she kept secret from NEST for obvious reasons. The last thing she wanted to do was live under their rules.

Jacqueline became the Prom Queen, and a few years after that, she graduated from school. Getting ready to begin a professional tennis career. However, the Founding Family suspected that Daddy Davis was a spy, and decided to terminate him. They sent their best soldier to his office, where he was shot dead in his seat. Afterwards, the Founding Family placed much incriminating evidence in his office that lead authorities to believe that it was a Hands of Science lab (This whole incident took place in the height of the Hands hysteria). Which meant it was raided by NEST, and was taken apart.

Which left Jacqueline, the girl who had everything, with nothing. All the status she had meant nothing because it was all on the power of a disgraced man. She had to move in with her model mother, because she had no other choice. The two loathed each other, and during the short time there, Jacqueline strived to reach the top. However, she quickly learned that she wasn't her father's only child. It came to light that he had sex with other women, and he had two other daughters: Quinn (Who's ten years younger than Jacqueline), and Sofia (Who's only slightly younger than Quinn). After learning about them, the first thing that Jacqueline did was go out to find them.

While they got off to a rough start, Jacqueline managed to bond with them, and they became the family that Jacqueline honestly never had. It wasn't long before her model mother died from an overdose, and Jacqueline can only say "Goodbye you whore" in the most apathetic tone possible. She took custody of her little sisters... but, the only job she could manage was a fast food restaurant, and that was barely enough to support them, and she was getting frustrated.[/indent][/hider]

[hider=1.2 Pride, the Fall, Veronica Davis][indent]However... her skills, personality, and superpower made her a candidate the Founding Family's growing security force known as the Intimidation Unit. She was approached by the Black Hound, their greatest soldier, and invited into the Intimidation Unit - with promises of wealth and power that she was used to. Because she had a growing capacity for violence, and she was just so [i]bitter[/i] over what happened to her, she accepted the invitation without hesitation, and was inducted into their personal. 

However, the first thing that Jacqueline did was change her identity... she picked the name Veronica Davis only because she didn't want her good name attached to her dirty line of work.

She was training for a few years to not just be a soldier, but be one of the Founding Family's assassins. She was trained in the arts of murder. She was given countless weapons training, along with a lot of other skills that made her a versatile warrior. Most importantly, she was trained with her telekinesis extensively. 

Being one of the Founding Family's assassins, she was given plenty of experience. Because whoever they wanted dead, they sent her after them. Her first hit was a police officer that was getting a little too close to the truth. She killed him... and felt a sense of deep regret as she learned about him. However, as she was given more and more hits, more and more missions... she eventually began to feel a great numbness. She became numb to the killing. And it wasn't just killing that Veronica did - she just did whatever the hell they asked her to, really. Espionage, recruitment, guarding, deliveries, making deals, and more.

Eventually, due to her skill, she earned herself an elevated status within the Founding Family. She met the top members of the group (sometimes receiving orders directly from them), and she was given even more priority missions. Before the girl could feel any pride, she soon learned that the Founding Family were the ones who killed her father, and ruined his company because he was planning on betraying them - indirectly depriving Veronica of her wealth and status she cared so much about. That fact built up contempt within the girl.

... And it got worse from there.

Her sisters had manifested superpowers that have greatly interested the Founding Family. So, they kidnapped the two of them, and immediately put them in a lab where their powers were used to strengthen the Founding Family. Veronica objected, but she was silenced with threats, and placed back into compliance. She became obsessed with revenge against the Founding Family for this. All she wanted to do was kill them in horrible ways. Which is why she decided to destroy the organization, feigning obedience and loyalty as she forms her master plan to destroy them.

One of the first things she did as the Family's slave was accompany Blake Schmidt to his meeting with the Valos family (old friends of hers). When that went sour, she assisted in defeating the Valos, and capturing them. It was dirty work, but Veronica had no choice but to do it. Johnny got away, and became a pain in the ass for the Family. She was sent after him, but she chose to botch those missions because of her of interest in making him an ally. However, it went sour, and ultimately, he injured her.

While she was gathering information, she eventually learned of the other children that were subjected to their experiments... and she was horrified. That motivated Veronica to want to save her sisters even more, and to also save the other children. It was that moment when she realized that the Family were utterly irredeemable in her eyes. Veronica was transferred to Baybridge - where the Blessed Three were - because they're planning something big.

And it didn't disappoint.

During the whole war against the Family, she played in the sidelines as a secret agent for them. Destroying their foes from the shadows, and gathering information for them. All while planning their fall. The first thing she was sent to do was find Jennifer Caspin, and check to see if she was in position. It didn't exactly go smoothly because it was in the middle of the attack on the market, but she managed to befriend her. Her next job was kidnapping someone who probed into the Family on the Deep web, which she did successfully... but that someone was bailed out by a friend. This was during the whole shit-storm in the mall, and Veronica had to go get Ezekiel during his hissyfit.

In the week after, she enjoyed the little break she received from the Intimidation Unit, and figured it was time to push her own agendas. First, she gathered some information, then she made nice with an impressionable female RAVEN. Afterwards, Veronica was shuffled with Blake during Jiao-Long's birthday party, and was made to act nice while he does business. Fortunately for her, she didn't have to do much during the kidnapping of Jiao-Long and his wife other than act scared. She left with Blake, and escorted Jiao-Long to the Family's pride and joy.

The machine... she was the first person from the outside world to see it, and it was horrifying. A device that could turn everyone on Earth into a Metahuman, and it was [i]close[/i] to completion. The mere idea of the Machine horrified her, and with their endgoals being near, Veronica knew her sisters were first on the chopping the block when they served their purpose. The first thing Veronica did was relay a load of information to RAVEN from the shadows - even warning them of the impending attack on Headquarters. Since then, Veronica kept to the shadows, meeting a RAVEN, and helping him get into headquarters. Staying out of the conflict in Silver Hills.

The finale came during the final battle against the Founding Family, where she helped bring down Julia O'Sullivan, and finally liberated her sisters. However, for their safety, she split off from them, and left her sisters in DOVE's care. As much as it hurt, she knew they'd be much better off without her.

Afterwards, Veronica put up her armor for good, and disappeared... never to be seen again...

[color=Forestgreen][h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3]

[b]Family:[/b] [/color]

[hider]Alec Rory - Father 
[indent]Alec Rory was called many things. A genius. A tyrant. An asshole... and he formed Rory international, a powerful bio-engineering company that was going to make the next big breakthrough in science. And Alec lead the organization with such ruthless efficiency that few people were calling their experiences with the company pleasant - but keeping their pockets fat, and giving young scientists the tools they need is what keep them going. Alec was not a good person because he was practically obsessed with power - which made it easy for him to become a subordinate for the Founding Family - he just couldn't turn down their deal. Giving him a wider array of resources in exchange for the Family having full access to his research. Through his lust for power, though, he failed to realize that their partnership was not beneficial for both parties - only beneficial for the Family. When he was planning to out the Family to the feds when he did realize, he was killed, his research was stolen, and his company was framed for a front for the Hands of Science... He and Noelle rarely interacted, but she owes her superpower to him.[/INDENT]

Amy Rory - Mother
[indent]Merely an up and coming model that Alec seduced on the promise of fulfilling all her wildest dreams. Their first encounter ended with Noelle being conceived, and Alec guilt her into marrying him. She became a model through his contacts - only so he can brag about "fucking a model." Amy and Alec didn't really care for each other - with the latter only seeing her as a sex object. That most importantly made the relationship between herself and Noelle very sour as the woman didn't want anything to do with Noelle. The woman grew to enjoy the life of wealth, and was planning on divorcing the man to get his money (and to ensure that she would be born well off, she had two more children with him). However, when Alec was killed, and his money was stolen, all of her plans went horribly wrong. She eventually fell into a deep depression and became addicted to drugs. Selling her (decaying) body in exchange for drug-money. Eventually she died of an overdose, and Noelle couldn't care less. The only thing Amy was good for was good looks.[/INDENT]

Quinn Rory - Sister
[indent]The second child of Amy and Alec - only so Amy could get a bigger piece of the pie. Quinn grew up rather neglected by her mother, and eventually became very shy and anti-social - even when presented with opportunities! Quinn is a kind person at heart, however she managed to get along with her sisters - even the abhorrent Noelle. They got especially close after the death of their parents, and it fell on Noelle to take care of them. But, even Quinn could see the stress Noelle was going through. She didn't question what work that Noelle had to take when she would suddenly disappear for [i]weeks[/i] at a time and come home with thousands of dollars. She just did her best to enjoy it. However, unlike Noelle, Quinn had the potential to naturally become a Metahuman, and she developed a rather useful ability - the ability to admister permanent upgrades to any superpowers on touch (and copying a lesser form in the progress). Quinn didn't know what to make of this ability, but the Founding Family kidnapped her, and put her to use in one of their labs giving their Metahuman employees [i]even stronger[/i] abilities. Was liberated during their fall, and like her sister, is in Academy 218 with a new identity. Noelle hasn't seen her.[/INDENT]

Sofia Rory - Sister
[indent]A year younger than Quinn, Sofia is the youngest child of the Rory family. Unlike her older sister... she is intoxicatingly happy, kind, and optimistic despite the grim world she lives in, and the deaths of their parents. This personality is what shined a light inside of Noelle, and persuaded her to do good for them. Like Quinn, she didn't question what Noelle did to put food on the table. And like Quinn again, she developed a superpower... A very powerful form of memory manipulation that allows her to put memories in bubbles, and manipulate them from there. She can implant fake memories, alter existing memories, and erase memories with ease. All the way up to creating a life for a person if she was given the time and energy. This ability was what convinced the Family to kidnap her and use her as a slave. Altering the memories of whoever they please. Was liberated during their fall, and like her sister, is in Academy 218 with a new identity. Noelle hasn't seen her.[/INDENT][/hider]


[color=Forestgreen][b]Dynamics:[/b][/color]
[hider][indent][h3]| [b]Johnny Valos[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Bad[/b] | [b]Former Friend[/b] | [i]"He was an idiot then, he's an idiot now."[/i] |
[indent] Johnny was an old fling of Noelle back when she was younger (When she was Jacqueline Rory). The two were quite similar in some ways, but she always found Johnny too idiotic to be useful. She only really dated him because of the status of his family, but otherwise found him obnoxious. She had a higher opinion of his family, however. That relationship was destroyed when Noelle (as Veronica) helped defeat and capture the Valos family. Since then, she never paid him even a thought, not even aware he's coming to Baybridge. [/indent]


[/indent][/hider]



[color=Forestgreen][h3][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/h3]

[b]Power Class:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Cerebral[/INDENT] 
[color=Forestgreen][b]Power:[/b][/color]
[i]Telekinesis.[/i]
[indent]Little Noelle here was gifted with a telekinetic ability when she consumed the serum. This allows her to exert her mental will on the area around her in ways that you'd expect from a telekinetic. She can move objects with a thought; pulling, pushing, twisting, bending, crushing, etc, etc. She can pull these mental feats off with relative ease - she can control objects with body movements. Since she has a high degree of control over her power, she's capable of manipulating a large amount of objects at a time, or, alternatively, moving a very large object. She's capable of manipulating two cars, while still retaining the ability to walk. Noelle can also use her telekinesis to make herself fly, propelling herself through the air. Any objects she controls will be wrapped in dark-green, wavy, aura, until she releases control of them - and whenever she [i]slightly[/i] activates her power, she will be surrounded in a similar field.[/indent]
[list][*][i]Telekinetic Blasts.[/i] 
[INDENT]Noelle can channel her telekinetic energy into focused blasts. These blasts can come in several different shapes. The main kind is a focused beam that she can fire out of her fist. The power and size of this beam can vary. She can make it hard hitting enough to leave some major cracks in stone (Like it took a sledgehammer to it), and thicker than her arm. Other times, it can be thin as her pinkie, and hit hard enough to knock over a cup but not break it. This beam cuts through the air rather quickly, and disappears the second it hits an object (or travels outside of it's range). Other forms come in a orb, a blade, a shotgun style blast, or even a full wave. These blasts follow the same rules as the beam, really. All of these blasts are dark-green in color.[/INDENT]
[/list]
[list]
[*][i]Telekinetic Shield.[/i] 
[INDENT]Noelle can also channel this telekinetic energy to produce a shield. It's a green construction that almost looks like a thin film. It's merely a centimeter wide, but it has a square shape that changes size (The max is twelve feet in all directions). Don't let it's size fool you, it can take a [i]ridiculous[/i] amount of pressure. Blows from super strong Metahumans, a barrage of bullets, etc. It's connected to Noelle's willpower, and her resolve, which makes the shield very durable. She can only project the shield very close (around five feet) to herself.[/INDENT]
[/list]

[color=Forestgreen][b]Limits:[/b][/color]
[indent]For starters, she's affected by the arbitrary range limit! She can only manipulate objects within twenty-feet of herself, and her blasts can only go that far. Nor can Noelle do all these feats at once. She can't have her shield up while manipulating, and vice versa. However, she can of course fly regardless of what she's currently doing. Of course, the more advanced feats that Noelle is capable of, also puts a bit of stress on herself, and her body. It'll do more than tire herself out faster - but more details in the weakness section. Her powers have trouble when directly interacting with people. While she is capable of moving them, she can't bend them like a pretzel, nor can she telekinetically stop a heart. Though, if you piss her off, she can certainly keep you pinned to a wall. However, someone with enough willpower can break free from her telekinetic control. Cerebral-types are also resistant to all her abilities. The shield can only be twelve feet in total size, but the larger it is, the harder it will be to maintain. It can take an immense barrage, but there's a weakness that balances that out nicely. Let's say that it can take a few full strength hits from a super strong Metahuman and tank it like it's nothing. Oh, and it only blocks physical attacks. Energy goes right on through it. I'd also like to note that the shield can only defend her from one direction, she can only protect within five feet of herself, and she'll be immobile for the duration. Go figure.[/indent]

[color=Forestgreen][b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [/color]
[indent]Noelle needs to maintain a high level of control over her ability in order to keep using it. If you somehow break her concentration (and keep it that way), then she'll be unable to use her telekinesis properly. It's also linked to her body, mind, and spirit. Using it causes injuries to her body in the form of your garden variety nosebleed, to horrific headaches, and strained muscles. She'll basically have one hell of a hangover after a particularly drawn out battle. A counter to Noelle's ability is energy-based attacks. You see, Noelle emits her own telekinetic (Or Mental) energy. Once she is subjugated to energy of the sorts, her power will begin to weaken. Shooting her telekinetic blasts has a bit of a recoil. It can throw her off balance at best, and absolutely ravage her wrist/hands at worst. Depends on how strong the blast, the more powerful blasts can do it, while the weaker blasts barely damage her. Finally, while her shield is immensely durable, it comes with a "mental backlash," which is sent back towards Noelle. It is a pain proportionate to the damage the shield withstands. She could be gushing blood out of her nose. Which means that it's incredibly hard to keep active.[/indent]

[color=Saddlebrown][b]Physical Appearance:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]A man with a very large presence. Whenever Johnny steps in, he tends to catch the eyes of everyone in the room. Whether it's his swagger, or the peculiar way he dresses (I'll get on that later). Johnny is flamboyant, and dresses with much flash as his personality. Johnny is just the kind of guy that walks into a club like he owns the bitch, taking the largest steps in the process. People think he's odd at first glance (Or a stupid wannbe pimp). Though, this aura around him is an aura of arrogance and condescension. It's the way he speaks and carries himself that makes it obvious that he thinks highly of himself, and far, far, less of everyone else around him. He doesn't take things seriously, and most importantly, is certainly loud and flashy. He always has a cocky grin on his face regardless of what he's facing. Perhaps he overcompensating for somethings. 

It isn't just his personality that has a large presence. Johnny is a tall man at six-four, and has a slender, slightly muscular, build. He doesn't have enough muscle to make the ladies go "wow," but he definitely has something from all the hard work the man does. Though, it's apparently that he takes time off his day to workout. Johnny's skin is a light-brown - near-caramel - color from his ethnicity. Johnny is part Brazilian (A mix of Afro-Brazilians, and the Brazilians who descended from the Spaniards), part African-American, and part Italian. His mother was an Italian woman, while his father was African-American/Brazilian. It's hard to tell him as anymore than Spanish from his facial features. The rest of his family is predominantly Brazilian, so he just tells everyone that he's Brazilian. 

That skin of his, while a delicious shade of caramel, is far from clear. Johnny has a large amount of scars from his various adventures, as a sign of his hardships. The first scar he has is a scar on his face... A burn scar on his cheek right under his eye. It's red, and disgusting - and worst of all, people keep calling him "Prince Zuko" because of it (Shit's wack, yo). It's one scar that he does not like talking about. Another wound that Johnny has is a three-claw point scar that has slashed from one side of his chest, to the other, sideways. It is a brutal sight, and people ask where he got it from... and he keeps saying, "From my little brother Jaska." Johnny also has various scars on his fingers that look like bite-marks from an animal - one finger even looks surgically reattached... also from his little brother Jaska. Other than that, has various wounds from cuts (that one knife fight he got into was a biiiitch), and other injuries.

If you guessed that Johnny would have tattoos, you were totally right. On his arms are a complex web of fire in a tribal style that starts at his shoulders, and goes down to his wrists. Integrated into this fire is a network of roses, and whatnot. On the base of his neck he has a large tattoo of a rose flower, which is visible depending on what he's wearing. On his chest is a [url=http://www.clipartkid.com/images/499/10-tribal-fire-dragon-tattoos-designs-free-cliparts-that-you-can-7iTjW4-clipart.jpeg]Dragon wreathed in flames[/url]... well, mostly. When he got slashed across the chest, the tattoo was pretty ruined. He just hasn't been arsed to get it removed.

Johnny's facial features are heavily South-American, but with a touch of Africa. His head is wide and rectangle-shaped, with his facial features being heavily squared, pronounced, and well-defined. He has a large, and bulky chin, one that has a cleft in between it. His ears are medium-sized, and thin, not too notable, they have a subtle point at the very top. His nose is quite small, with a long bridge and thin nostrils. He has another subtle point at the very tip of it. His cheeks are quite flat, and lack the roundness that most other cheeks would. His lips are wide full for a male, but they're thin and small. He usually keeps them tucked in. Inherited from his mother is his eyes. His eyes are medium sized, pointed at the tips, and are brown. His eyes are easily the best looking eyes on the entire planet! Usually Johnny's facial expression is either a cocky grin, an annoyed/bored look, or a slasher smile. Johnny's hair is kept in a neatly slicked back style. It is straight and is neck length. It's a very black color and very well groomed.[/INDENT]


[color=Saddlebrown][b]Attire:[/b] [/color]
[INDENT]The one thing that makes Johnny stand out is his rather... peculiar choice in clothing. To put it simply: Johnny dresses like a 80's Pimp in the modern era. No lie. He wears a long coat that is either brown, black, or white, and a matching wide-brimmed hat (With a feather, shark-tooth, etc), and underneath that hat are sunglasses. These coats are the most fabulous, well-made, pieces of fabric out there, and you best recognize. Most importantly, Johnny carries around a black cane. This is just one of many canes. Johnny's favorite attire is an all-brown outfit that consists of a longcoat, a wide-brimmed hat, slacks, sunglasses, brown leather gloves, and a black leather belt with a large buckle. This isn't just any longcoat, it has many false pockets and secret compartments - where he hides his two Smith & Wesson 617's. Though, while Johnny loves to dress flashy, he can easily pull off a more subtle outfit if the need arises. Johnny pulls off a suit well![/INDENT]

[color=Saddlebrown][h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3]

[b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Johnny Valos is dude that hates everyone, and is a total cold asshole, until you get to know him and he'll love you forever.

Haha, just playing with you.

Johnny is many, many, things, but nice sure as hell ain't one of them. He's a man that grew up with rich people, and got the idea in his head that he's the shit. He has a gigantic ego, and is borderline narcissistic because of how much he thinks of himself. He is definitely cocky, arrogant, son of a. He won't hesitate to talk down to people like they're nothing, and utterly take nothing seriously. If there's one thing this man is good at, it's utterly pissing everyone off just by being him. He's obsessed with fast cars, fancy clothes, women, and money, and he won't hesitate to take out anyone if it means he's one step closer to his goal. So who cares what the softies of the world think?

A cunning trickster, Johnny is easily able to put on masks, and whatnot to get what he wants. Johnny is quite the charmer. It's that aura of confidence around him, and his way with words that allow him to play people like cards in a casino. Oh, speaking of which, Johnny's got one hell of a love for casinos, and whatnot - and has a badass pokerface. If necessary, he won't even let himself budge for a second, and that's what lets him get over on people.

While he's arrogant as shit, it is possible to get him to respect someone. It'll be a task, but he mostly looks for someone's character - because he already has skills, good looks, money - what else can people offer him? If someone has a strong will, and a similar love for their family, he may come to respect them. In addition, if someone ups him enough, that person can easily get Johnny off his ego train - but that'll take [i]many[/i] blows to his near-unbreakable pride and ego.

Johnny definitely isn't the type to hang around losers, and nobodies. You either gotta be a good looking lady, rich, have a high status, or has something he wants, or he'll ignore your existence like he would step over an ant. Though, he is definitely one to get quickly annoyed. When people, and other losers, tend to waste his time, or act like they're on his level, he'll definitely lash out at that. Johnny is a complete dickwad, and will insult people with some of the most flowery insults he can come up with. Insulting everything they know and love. Johnny is definitely the type to escalate things to violence if it gets to that point.

One thing that Johnny loves is the ladies, baby! He ain't no pimp for nothing. Johnny has a love for the cuties with the prettiest faces offered by nature. Though it takes more than just a pretty face to arouse Johnny's interest. It also requires a big behind, and a giant chest - or at least a moderately sized one. If you have those, then expect Johnny to be all over you. Johnny is definitely a charmer, and knows his way around the ladies of the world. Though, he doesn't see them as any more than his "personal accomplishments," or just free ass. He's definitely a hit-it and quit it type.

It goes without saying that Johnny is a Chaotic-Neutral. He will do whatever the hell he wants. Whether it suits his purposes or not. He has no respect for rules and authority, and while he is more than willing to play nice, once it starts being an obstacle, then, well, rules are meant to be broken. He's more of a mercenary - he just does what he wants, good or bad, long as there's something to gain out of it. Johnny is willing to kill for his goals. Because, hell, he's killed before, why not do it again? Though, he isn't a monster, he will draw the line at some point, and he won't go on rampages killing innocent civilians (Well, if he was offered trillions of dollars, yes). Fortunately, he has his fellow siblings to be his moral compass.

Underneath all of the confidence and bravado, of course, Johnny has another side. He is very cynical, and cold. This world hasn't been pretty to the Valos boy, and he definitely hasn't come out worse for wear. He'll often, when alone and with close friends, brood. He's much more somber and humble out of the eyes of the world. Two things that go well together is the fact that he's very observant, and he's untrusting. The first thing he does whenever he enters a room is give it a good look, and give the people in it an ever better look. Constantly deducing who could and couldn't be a threat to him, and who could actually be helpful. While Johnny is cynical, he is also very good at guessing people's true motives - With 70% accuracy. He almost never takes things at face-value and always assumes there's a motive under the motive. Which means it can be hard to fool Johnny.

Even though he doesn't have a lot of love for this world, one thing Johnny loves above all else is the Valos Family. The only people that are close to him are his large amount of siblings, and he will do anything to protect them. Even throw himself into the fire. They're the only people who can easily steer Johnny off a dark path, and the people he'll always help above all else. 

Because friends and bitches can be replaced, blood can't.

[/INDENT] 
[color=Saddlebrown][b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Johnny [i]fucking [b]LOVES[/b][/i] casinos. He's a gambler, but he was always a lover of card games. You can say he's has a casino motif because he just loved the style. He is also a gambler, and would gamble over just about anything. Johnny is also a lover of older movies, his favorite being James Bond movies (He's always fancied himself a James Bond), and Blaxploitation films (Where he got his pimp suit ideas from!). Like I stated several times, Johnny loves fast cars, women, and fancy clothes. Be careful, though, he'll begin to drone on and on about his money.[/INDENT]
[color=Saddlebrown][b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [/color]
[INDENT]Johnny is a master at poker. If you play him, you better be ready to lose your money, your clothes, and your house because Johnny is killin' it! He's also adept at other casino games, but it'll never match his talent with cards, baby! Now, Johnny has spent plenty of time around the shadier people, and he has certainly picked up a few things. Crime is Johnny's specialty, and he knows how to deal with the criminal underworld. Though, he mostly just gets information from them, everything else is just so messy that he just doesn't deal with it. Johnny has picked up recreational shooting, and eventually, through... experience, is able to apply it to a live gunfight. His aim isn't perfect, but if something gets too close, Johnny will shoot it dead. 

He doesn't know how to shoot anything other than a pistol - revolvers being his specialty (Hence his nickname). In addition, he knows a variety of gun tricks. Such as gun twirling, a tactic he uses to impress, and intimidate. Johnny is also pretty sharp and observant, good at guessing motives and whatnot. He's also hard to trick. Brawlin' also comes easy to Johnny, well, he needs to fight because he's one hell of a shit-talker. He knows no martial arts training, but he only needs his good looks, and a cane! Johnny also knows how to speak fluent Portuguese, despite having gone to Brazil once. Just something he picked up because of his largely Brazilian family.[/INDENT]

[color=Saddlebrown][b]Goals/Motivation[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Johnny's goal in Baybridge is to search for his two sisters - Sylvia Baccili, Camille, and Ivete Valos - who have been kidnapped by the Founding Family, and transformed into Secretaries. While the Family has been defeated, Johnny and the Valos siblings have received a lead that pointed them in the direction of Baybridge.[/INDENT]

[color=Saddlebrown][b]History/Bio:[/b][/color]
[hider=0.1 Story of Andre Ramiah][INDENT]To explain Johnny's past, we must take a look at someone else': Andre Ramiah. 

You see, Andre Ramiah was a poor kid who grew up in Stadium City in the era before the Tyrants moved in (Well, there's a reason for that, so we'll get to it). When he was young, he hung around a pair of girls that would eventually be known as Blizzard, and Queen Carmelita, a pair of powerful telekinetics. Meeting their adopter, a woman who goes by the name, "Barracuda," Andre joined their little circle of crime and was mentored in criminal philosophy. Starting off with small crimes, and working his way up. Eventually, spending his time around so many Metahumans allowed him to activate his superpower. An interesting ability at that... receiving extra-sensory instructions how to complete any goal that he set his mind to.

He became the brains of the group, setting up small crimes, and eventually building up a small gang of similar minded Metahumans. Eventually, the girls told Andre of their greater goals; a criminal empire. And Andre helped them fulfill that goal. It took years upon years of work as Andre recruited an army and amassed an empire... but, they did it, they toppled Stadium City, and the existing criminal organizations. Leaving only the Tyrants. All of them basically had an empire to themselves, and made tons of many through many, many, many, deals. 

But, that wasn't the life little Andre wanted, playing lapdog to someone more powerful. He wanted a life of wealth and fame for himself. Andre looked to his ability for instructions how to achieve that. He managed to steal a large sum of cash from the Tyrants, and went into hiding, changing his identity so those pesky Tyrants would have a hard time tracking him.

When he came out... he was [i]Jason Valos[/i].

Using this massive wealth of his, Jason managed to purchase an expensive club... and using a few deals (some shady), he managed to build himself an empire of clubs, five-star hotels, fancy restaurants, and best of all, casinos! Eventually, he was showered with the wealth that he couldn't have gotten without his power. 

His name became known from all over, and he built up a massive family from many marriages (and booty calls)...[/INDENT][/hider] 


[hider=Johnny Valos; the Highroller, the Wizard... The Fool][indent]Johnny's story started when his father met Anne Bacilli at a famous actor's party. He seduced the woman, and she got pregnant with his child. She told him that she was pregnant, and wanted Jason to take responsibility for his child, but Jason was already married, and merely kept handing her checks to keep quiet. Which was enough to keep Anne happy. She eventually gave birth to Johnny in New Orleans - her home city - and bought an expensive house with all the money Jason was secretly funneling her.

When Johnny was around four, his mother found another relationship in a man named Giovanni, and they quickly got married and gave him his little sister, Sylvia. The only problem was that Johnny was somewhat neglected on the moment Sylvia was born. Don't get me wrong, his mother still loved him, but his stepdad didn't want to raise any kids that weren't his own, and his mother was too busy with Sylvia to reign in his behavior. So he was without a solid father figure, and his mother wasn't exactly winning any parent of the year awards. His school-life was where he learned plenty of things - not in the way of education a la math and science, but how the world works and plenty of street smarts. He wasn't taught much about morality, or what was right and wrong, so he quickly got the idea that life was all about him. So he became a bit of a trouble-maker. Not starting fights, but he'd use anything he could to get ahead (and not just in school). He thought of everyone around him as a tool, and consequently worthless. He didn't care about them or their feelings. This quickly became a worrying trend in school. Since he was making enemies fast, and causing trouble that someone else had to clean up. Plenty of times he came home beaten, or sent to detention.

Once he was around fourteen, his mother had enough of it, and sent Johnny to go live with his father in Black Fall... even though his mere existence nearly destroyed his marriage (Again), Jason accepted Johnny into his arms. Inducting Johnny into a life that he could only dream about, he taught Johnny the ways of the rich people, and was probably a worse presence on Johnny than his mother. Now, he basically had no one to rein him in - except for shitty maids and butler that didn't do shit. He loved the rich boy lifestyle as he went about his brand new life. Becoming thoroughly arrogant and egotistical. A total jackass that only seemed to enjoy annoying his father. 

Though, he was introduced to his family of siblings, the older Valos, and the younger Valos... and eventually, they all had adventures, and all sorts of wacky things, as they went about in the largest concentration of Metahumans in the world. To say the least, the entire Valos family has seen some shit. Fights caused by Johnny, or a random villain trying to get over on the Valos, the headaches for Jason never seemed to end. Growing up with the Valos Family, Johnny definitely picked up poker, and other casino games as a hobby. Though, Johnny made trips back to New Orleans to spend time in his home city! Most importantly, spending time with his young sister Sylvia. Eventually bringing her back to Black Fall one summer and introducing her to the Valos. It was a shaky start, but eventually they became the closest of friends.

As Johnny was growing older, he had time to pick up some hobbies of his. Such as recreational shooting, one thing that he was pretty good at. He thought revolvers were badass, and became the king of a revolver. Along with becoming pretty good at poker. In a manner of years of practice and experience, Johnny was closer and closer to becoming the movie badass he dreamed of being.

Though, there was a wrench thrown in that whole plan... there was a young child left on the doorstep that looked an [i]awful[/i] lot like Jason. Except with the appearance of a demon. Wings, teeth, claws, and having the abilities of a powerful Bestial-type Metahuman. The boy was named Jaska Aoki... and Jason remembered the name as some broad he banged from the White Spider Society. While there was [i]much[/i] questioning as to why Jason would have sex with a Bestial-type Metahuman of that appearance, Jaska was accepted into the family. Taking the name of Jaska Valos, he was integrated into the family as the youngest member.

To say the least, Jaska wasn't exactly all that well regarded among the Valos family. He was treated as an outcast by the siblings, and more importantly, Gabrielle. However, Johnny was the only person to give Jaska the time, and the one who became the closest to him. Jake helped, but Johnny was the main help. Eventually, Jaska became the little brother that all the Valos knew and loved, and everyone loved him.

However, that idyllic dream was shattered one night. It was a nice summer night in Black Fall, where all of the Valos were relaxing, of course. Jaska's animal instincts were flaring up, and he was finding himself to be far more aggressive than normal. He attacked Gabriel, and in her rage, she called him a "little devil." Unaware of what she did, Gabe had unintentionally activated the side of Jaska's power that should have remained hidden.

The "Inner-Beast" that all of those who share the Aoki blood have. A powerful hidden form that is monstrous. The young Jaska transformed into this immense beast, and went on a rampage throughout the Valos manor. During this rampage, there was an immense amount of pain and suffering on both sides. The Valos didn't want to hurt Jaska, but Jaska was causing them physical harm. A massive battle took place, which Johnny was too shocked to do anything in. During the end of the battle, Jaska grabbed Gabe, and pinned her to the ground. Violently pulling out her eyeball. Johnny jumped in and tried to help her... and nearly got his face slashed open for this moment of altruism.

However, Jaska was dispatched by the Jason family... at the cost of many wounds, and the Valos mansion. The family was rushed to the hospital, but when probed about what happened, they refused to give Jaska up. Instead, they paid off the authorities to say it was some Metahuman goon trying to rob them. Where does this concern our superstar? Well, in the hospital, Johnny started feeling weird. He saw something around the people around him - an aura, as you would say. When talked to by a NEST representative, he realized that he manifested a superpower. And now he felt like a [i]real[/i] Valos.

After everyone's wounds healed, it was time to pick up the pieces! The Valos Manor was in ruins, and it would be months before it would be completely repaired. Of course, it meant the Valos needed to find somewhere else to live, and Jason had just the solution! The Valos children head to Academy 218 while the repairs go on. So, they can learn how to use their powers, and Jason doesn't have to worry about his stupid kids getting into trouble. Johnny declined, but Jason sent him anyway.

Arriving in Alaska, Johnny only had one option: it fucking sucked. He didn't enjoy it there at the academy at first, but the Valos siblings loved it. Though, he warmed up to it after seeing all the smokin' hot babes there. And in the process, Johnny learned all about his ability. Though, at this point, the Verthaven Disaster happened, and everything changed. Suddenly, the Academy got a lot more crowded, and the political climate seemed a lot less accepting of Metahumans. It didn't bother Johnny - because he was up here in paradise! But, it definitely burned him in the ass after he was caught having sex with the headmaster's daughter, and kicked out of the Academy. Well, no biggie. Johnny knew he could just go back to the Valos manor while his siblings finished the Academy program.

[i]Wrong.[/i]

Since Johnny was in his early twenties at this point, Jason felt no need to continue babying Johnny (and quite frankly, he knew his son was an ass). With a limited supply of cash, Johnny went back to New Orleans. The last place where he wanted to be, and fell back to doing the same old shit he was used to. The old gang he grew up with had grown up, and found new... profitable opportunities in the criminal underworld. Something that Johnny welcomed with open arms.

He became a mercenary. A gangster that worked for the highest bidder. Using his knowledge of gunplay, fighting skills, and new superhuman ability, Johnny became known as "The Revolver." Named after his weapon of choice Johnny offered dirty deeds done dirt cheap to the highest bidder. To being a hitman, to a drug runner, to just a bodyguard. This vicious cycle went on for several years... until Johnny's greed got the best of him. There was a giant assembly of gangs coming together to take over the city ala the Tyrants. Johnny had the [i]bright[/i] idea to try to axe the gang leaders and become the head of this glorious empire.

While Johnny was good, they were veterans at the game. Johnny killed one, and the rest of them ganged up on him, and nearly killed him. Sent him running out of New Orleans with his tail between his legs, and a price on his head. He had no choice but to [i]beg[/i] Jason to take him back, and while Jason knew that Johnny was an idiot for trying it, Jason did the same thing earlier. He took Johnny back into the rebuilt Valos manor, where the entire Valos family were because they were on summer vacation.

Everything was going perfectly, and Johnny was keeping his head down (Lest he wanted to lose it). Relaxing with his family... but, there was another family that Jason had his eyes on. In the shadows, there was an organization running just about everything from the shadows. The Founding Family. Jason knew they had fingers in everybody's pie and he wanted a piece of it! Jason decided to have a meeting with the Family at the Valos Manor, and they came. Blake Schmidt came with his cronies, and the two great men decided to work out an arrangement. However, Jason tried to swindle Blake, and it ended badly when he saw through it.

Oh, so, badly.

Blake was offended, and decided to teach the Valos a lesson. A massive battle took place between the Founding Family, and the Valos... a fight that [i]everyone[/i] (including the Valos children) was fighting. It was definitely a savage battle, but one the Valos couldn't win. One by one, they fell, until it was just Johnny. Johnny tried to take on Blake alone... and received that ugly scar over his face. Johnny had no choice but to retreat as Blake kidnapped his siblings, and burned the manor to the ground. With one of his brothers being a casualty, and Jaska being the only other person to get away. 

After licking his wounds, Johnny sure as hell wasn't going to let the Family do whatever they wanted to his siblings. They sent the Intimidation Unit after Johnny, and he had to fight them off. Eventually he managed to catch a lead on the Family, and found his siblings... enslaved. Under some kind of weird mind control. Johnny tried to break them free, but he was always attacked by the IU. Johnny waged an invisible war against the Family, launching hit and run until... he recovered Jake. Under the effects of Mechanized Memories, Jake wasn't who Johnny remembers. Under Johnny hit him with some emotional energy, and Mechanized Memories was removed.

Explaining the situation to him, Johnny convinced Jake to come along with him to try and free the others... only for the fall of the Founding Family to take place, and it was a mess. Fortunately, many of the Secretaries were set free... including Gabriela. Unfortunately, Ivete, Camille, and most importantly to Johnny... Sylvia, were nowhere to be seen. 

Which meant they had to be found. The Valos Family were going to be reunited one way or another. For the next three years, the family went on a journey looking for their missing sisters. Finding Jaska in the process, and taking odd jobs to make money.

However... they eventually got a lead in Baybridge.

[INDENT]Jonathan's mother and him have never gotten along that well. Johnny was always a hellion for her, and just caused her so many problems. The woman was the daughter of an Italian Architect that Jason had sex with, and got her pregnant with his child. To keep her quiet about it not to jeopardize his relationship with his wife, he payed her money. But, not even money was worth Johnny, and she sent him to the Valos family. Eventually, she married a man named Giovanni that her father had set her up with, and eventually had Sylvia. Despite all of their conflicts, Johnny still loves his mother dearly, and keeps in touch with her to the best of his ability.[/INDENT]

[INDENT]Jason Valos (Formerly Andre Ramiah), the man that started it all. Jason is a man that had former ties with the Tyrants, whom he helped reach the position where they were before with his powerful cerebral ability. With the money he had accumulated, Jason left them on good terms, and started his casino entire with the help of the White Spider Society. It wasn't long until Jason had clubs all over America - eventually spreading to Brazil as well - and was rolling in the dough. Jason is the epitome of Valos; a greedy, arrogant, womanizer that cheats on his wife constantly. But, he still loves his family in the end, and gave his kids the money they need to succeed in life. Jason was pretty busy with running his business, but has ties and associations with many different high-classed people (Including Jiao-Long Liu). Jason, has a very powerful Cerebral ability - just not in the way you'd expect. Basically, his power subconsciously gives him instructions as to how to complete a specific goal (While not being the most practical at times). He used this power to reach the top, and stay there... though, he made a mistake when he tried to make a deal with the Founding Family. In his greed, the Family had betrayed Jason, and kidnapped his children to turn into Secretaries in a spectacular incident. Though, it's unknown what happened to him and his wife. Both are missing.[/INDENT]

Gabrielle Valos - Step-Mother
[INDENT]An African-American woman that was the daughter of a oil company owner. Jason had seduced her, and the two fell in love with each other, and getting married. Becoming the wife he has held for the longest amount of time... though, not without cheating on her with several different women. It's amazing she hasn't left him yet - probably because of the money. Though, she makes it clear that she is displeased with her husband - which leads into her firey temper. She has a huge temper - one that she has passed down to her daughter. Gabrielle is also a Metahuman, who has the ability to shoot laser beams, create shields out of energy, and fly. Unfortunately, she too has gone missing with Jason.[/INDENT]

Jake Valos - Brother
[INDENT]The shining star of the Valos siblings. Jake and his twin sister Gabriella was Gabrielle's firstborns. Jake in particular is the calm, level-headed one, who's taken the role of moral compass for the more amoral Valos. Despite being the kindest out of the bunch, Jake is somewhat confrontational, and condescending - but still has the best interests at heart. Jason was grooming Jake into being his successor because of his leadership qualities, and the boy was becoming the face of the Valos. Even becoming Lin Liu's (daughter of Jiao-Long Liu) boyfriend. Unfortunately, once the Founding Family betrayed the Valos Family, Jake was kidnapped and transformed into a Secretary. It was fortunate that Johnny was able to find him, and purge Mechanized Memories from his system, reverting him back to his former self. Jake now joins Johnny in his quest to find Ivete, Camille, and Sylvia. Jake has a powerful illusionist ability that allows him to manifest his illusions in reality instead of the mind, these illusions were so complex and realistic that they were able to fool the senses.[/INDENT]

Joshua Valos - Brother
[INDENT]Joshua was born in a previous marriage of Jason, along with his younger sisters Ivete and Camille. Joshua was haughty, and willing to abuse his powers, but was the more reclusive of the Valos family. He and Johnny never got along, and Joshua was too busy going far and wide exploring the world. Johnny couldn't care less. Joshua has telepathy, allowing him to read minds. Unfortunately, during the same incident that saw the Valos being kidnapped, Joshua was killed. The Valos family laments his loss.[/INDENT]

Jaska Valos - Brother
[INDENT]Easily the most interesting of the Valos siblings, Jaska Valos was born because Jason impregnated a White Spider Society escort, Reiko Aoki. Jaska was dropped on the front door of the Valos manor when he was a whee youth, and Jason immediately recognized him as their son. But, what makes Jaska so distinct is that he looks like a demon. A mouth full of sharp teeth, yellow eyes with vertical slits, claws on his hands and feet, a tail with a brutal blade at the end, and most notably, wings. Jaska had a hard time fitting into the family, but Johnny and Jake helped him ease in, and the rest of the Valos adjusted to having such a monstrous little brother. It wasn't long until baby Jaska became loved as everyone's little brother. However, he had an unknown aspect of his ability; The Inner-Beast. A rampaging monster that would awaken if he heard the codephrase "Little Devil," or came to the verge of death. This fact became a pain in the ass when Jaska unlocked his Inner-Beast and destroyed the Valos manor in Black Fall, and caused much injury to the entire family in their attempts to bring him down. As years passed (and he went to Academy 218 with the rest of the Valos), Jaska learned how to control the beast - or at least stop it from going wild. When the Founding Family kidnapped the rest of the Valos Siblings, he was able to use his abilities to escape them, and live on his own for a few years until Johnny had found him. Now, he joins Johnny's quest to save the Valos siblings.[/INDENT]

Sylvia Bacilli - Sister
[INDENT]Johnny's little sister who was born a few years after he was. The two, despite their age difference, became inseparable. With Johnny being an [i]awful[/i] influence on Sylvia, and shaping her up into a mischievous little brat. She is prone to swearing, and posturing, but truly cares for people. She is a massive junkie for music, and even aspires to becoming a DJ! It's funny because Sylvia has a powerful sound manipulating ability. Despite not officially being a Valos, Sylvia has effectively become like siblings to them. All because Johnny brings her around on their little adventures so often that she has pretty much become one of them. Though, after the incident with the Founding Family, Sylvia was captured by the Founding Family and transformed into a Secretary - serving the Blessed Three for years. Johnny's top priority is finding her.[/INDENT]

Gabriela Valos - Sister
[INDENT]Nicknamed "Gabe," she is the firey, aloof, Valos sister - twin sister to Jake Valos. She has a short patience, and an even shorter temper. But, while being sarcastic, she can be a total kitten! She is easily the most realistic and grounded of all the Valos, albeit there are times when she slips and indulges in the same things as the rest of the Valos. Gabe, due to her ability misfiring, is covered in all manner of burn scars - most are centered on her hands - and she is missing her right eye in the incident where Jaska lost control of his powers. She is a little bitter about those wounds, but she presses on. Gabriela, like her twin, was kidnapped by the Founding Family, and put under the effects of Mechanized Memories. Johnny had liberated her, and she was ready to tear a piece out of the Family... but, settled for looking for her sisters. Gabe has the ability to shoot high-heat, high-intensity, laser beams from her body after subtly absorbing light from the area around her. They can either burn badly, or be concussive, but the sheer energy generated causes Gabe burns, and it's linked to her emotions. Anger causes them to literally explode.[/INDENT]

Ivete Valos - Sister
[INDENT]The younger sister of both Joshua and Camille, Ivete was one of the star Valos, as she had become a model due to her good looks. Ivete was definitely an arrogant, haughty, something, all because she was a model. She barely bothered with the rest of the Valos siblings because she felt they were beneath them... but, they all love her to death regardless. Like her brother, Ivete has telepathy. However, she was kidnapped by the Founding Family, and transformed into a Secretary, and didn't have the luxury of being found by Johnny before the fall of the Family. Now, they desperately search for her.[/INDENT]

Camille Valos - Sister
[INDENT]Camille was the Valos sibling that matched even Johnny in narcissism, she felt like she was the shit, and god damn could she back it up. She was called a martial arts prodigy due to how quickly she could learn a fighting style, in addition to being good at sports. But, she didn't care about that, she just wanted to live the high life of fancy cars, and nice clothes. The Valos siblings were close to her, despite the fact she seldom participated in their adventures. Ivete had the ability to grow diamonds on any surface, and transform herself into diamonds. Like Ivete, Camille was not found before the fall of the Founding Family.[/INDENT][/INDENT][/hider]

[h3]| [b]Noelle Delacroix[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Bad[/b] | [b]Former Friend[/b] | [i]"To think she was a close and personal friend of mine... That just goes to show that everyone changes. She got a bod that can kill, though."[/i] |
[indent] Noelle (When she was known as Jacqueline Rory) was a former friend of the Valos Family due to the bond between Alec Rory and Jason Valos. Johnny met her during his many trips to Canada, and whenever Jacqueline went to America for her parents vacation. They had a complex relationship. Being a former fling of Johnny when he was younger, which evolved into a friendship that made her a close friend of the entire Valos Family. Johnny saw Jacqueline as a valuable ally, and Jacqueline saw Johnny as someone similar to herself... until the fall of Alec Rory, and Jacqueline fell off the radar. Johnny didn't hear from her until several years later, when she showed up with the Founding Family negotiation... as Veronica Davis. When it went sour, Veronica fought the Valos alongside the Family, and that broke Johnny's heart. Since then, Johnny saw Veronica as a bitter enemy, and plans on getting back at her. Little does he know, little Veronica has changed identities. [/indent]


[h3]| [b]Daniel Forsythe[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Bad[/b] | [b]Little Shit[/b] | [i]"When I get my hands on him... he's dead..."[/i] |
[indent] Johnny doesn't know too much about Daniel at all... except for the fact that he was Blake Schmidt's personal lapdog, and assisted the Founding Family. When the fight occurred, Daniel assisted the Founding Family in defeating the Valos, and since then, Johnny has harbored a grudge against him. [/indent]

[indent] As the quote implies, Johnny [i]really[/i] doesn't like Jackson. It all started with Jackson bumping into Johnny, and his hat getting snatched away (by a third party). After a fight (which Johnny the fabulous was winning), Johnny and Jackson were arrested. But, Johnny intends on getting even with him. With no RAVENs to save him. [/indent]

[color=Saddlebrown][h3][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/h3]

[b]Power Class:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Cerebral: Domination[/INDENT] 
[color=Saddlebrown][b]Power:[/b] [/color]
[i]Negative-Empathy.[/i]
[INDENT]Johnny has a distinct link with negative emotions - which manifests in a form of empathy. Johnny has the ability to see the emotions of people just by looking at them. Which manifests in colors that surround them, an aura, as you could say. However, he his ability specializes more in seeing people's negative emotions. He would need to be within five meters of someone to see their positive emotions, but he can see someone's negative emotions from around thirty-eight meters away. The stronger the negative emotion, the further away he can sense it. Johnny also has a form of telepathy. Which is a more basic and rudimentary form of telepathy that doesn't quite allow him to "read" minds. With a bit of focus, he can learn exactly what's making people feel a specific emotion. A brief image, or a tiny little flashback that provides Johnny with a glimpse, or a very good hint. This allows insight into people and how to get to know them better. When people's feelings are much more complex, however, he may have a problem.  

It doesn't quite end there. There is a special kind of energy given off by people that only Johnny (and select Metahumans) can even detect known as Emotional Energy. A brand of mental energy that is created by emotions. Johnny can absorb this energy naturally by being in the presence of people feeling negative emotions. But, on touch, Johnny can dig deeper and absorb residual Emotional-Energy. Which is emotional energy left behind from past emotions, that he can drain from a person. Or, he can go to a place where a powerful emotion was experienced recently, and absorb the energy from there. Johnny can also reach inside of himself, and get emotional energy... but, what does Johnny do with this emotional energy?[/INDENT]

[i]Negative Emotional-Energy Manipulation.[/i]
[INDENT]Johnny has the ability to manifest emotional energy and weaponize it. This energy appears as a white light, with vertical lines of varying colors pulsing across it. Johnny is capable of manipulating this energy in any way possible, building constructs out of it Green Lantern style as it is solid. This Negative-Emotional Energy can be used as a weapon, or a shield. To begin with offense, Johnny can repulse it in a variety of different forms, such as beams, orbs, etc. It isn't really necessary to make it into the shape of a weapon when a blast of it works just fine. On the other hand, being able to mold it into anything possible allows him to create shields of the sort. The force and durability behind these constructs wholeheartedly depend on how much negativity is going on around him. 

It can be durable enough to take a barrage of bullets, or weak enough to be broken by hand. Now, Negative-Emotional Energy has a distinct side effect when it comes in contact with someone; it can overload a person with negative emotions - depending on what emotions he has absorbed. He can make someone rage with a blast, or incredibly horny. He can't decide on what emotion he shoots someone with - only that he shoots it. Now, outside of fights, the Emotional-Energy is capable of "purging" the effects of Domination-type powers, merely by the energy coming in contact with them. This is how Johnny was able to free his siblings from the effects of Mechanized Memories.[/INDENT]


[color=Saddlebrown][b]Limits:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Johnny's emotional energy constructs are weak against physical attacks. They can easily block electricity, or heat, but are far easier to break with physical attacks. Now, Johnny's ability is directly linked to how many people are feeling negative emotions around him. In essence, it dictates his strength. If he's the only pissed off person there, well... he better be really angry or he'll be at a disadvantage. Johnny can absorb all emotions from people within a forty-eight meter range - but, the closer they are, the better he can absorb emotions from them. His ability to read emotions is limited by the emotions he is trying to read. If it is a positive emotion, Johnny will be unable to sense them from outside of a very close range. Nor will he be able to access his form of telepathy. Johnny is also weak against other Empaths, as their abilities counter his, and vice-versa.[/INDENT]


[color=Saddlebrown][b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [/color]
[INDENT]This may come as a shock to you, but Johnny's ability is weakened by [i]positive[/i] emotion (Gasp!). Positive emotions are the exact inverse to Johnny's ability, as they weaken him. If enough people are in the area feeling happy or whatever, Johnny may become powerless. What's worse is if Johnny himself is feeling a positive emotion. Johnny also has to experience whatever emotion he is presently absorbing while he has it stored inside of himself. It may turn the normally balanced Johnny extremely angry, scared, or worse! Johnny is weak against mental attacks. Telepaths can easily access his mind and attack him mentally with ease. His ability is so weak against telepathy that even someone reading his mind will cause him a head-ache and disrupt his power.[/INDENT]

[color=Saddlebrown][b][u]Other:[/u][/b][/color]
[INDENT]■  Along with his Smith & Wesson 617's, Johnny also owns a Smith & Wesson 500 made out of gold and diamonds... which is entirely nonfunctional and is just for show. Looks pretty badass, though.

■ Johnny drives around a [url=http://media.automanager.com/wmphotos/020824/6edb1989bd1b9942a1c4db098b56092d/04cfecdad2_640.jpg]white luxury hummer[/url] that was imported from Japan! It's the most fancy shit on the planet, but it's far from inconspicuous. Johnny doesn't care, because someone like him deserves to be known!

[INDENT]Afro-Caribbean - Haitian[/INDENT] 
[color=Blueviolet][b]Physical Appearance:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]
Francis sure as hell isn't the most intimidating man in the world. While he would be more scary if he wasn't so short that women stand equally to him, he mostly presents himself as a friendly person. He's always smiling, and seemingly always has a good mood. He has a friendly aura that disarms all but the most hardy of people. He carries himself with such a carefree attitude that it's impossible to feel intimidated by the man (Unless you're really racist). Francis takes short choppy steps whenever he moves, and usually keeps his hands deep inside of his pockets. His speech is quick, and usually has a playful, child-like feel to it, and he speaks with a thick foreign accent. Sometimes it's hard to understand him because of his speed, and accent. 

As stated before, Francis isn't very tall. He's about one inch above the female average, and that is because of rather unfortunate genes. Where Francis is short, he makes up for it in build. He has the a muscular build to compensate, because that was one of his activities in highschool, in addition to his line of work, so to speak. Picking up free running is what helps. His legs are easily the most well-toned part of his body, having the calves of a basketball player, and some really bulky thighs. His arms aren't as muscular, but you can tell he's been lifting. He doesn't have washboard abs, but he has been doing sit-ups. He looks like the type that can run like the literal wind. 

Francis is a proud Haitian by blood. Born in raised in the country, Francis' skin is a very dark color from being out in the sun for most of his life. His features are pretty consistent with those descended from African. Not even taking account his skin-color; his facial features, and hair texture, are pretty in line for African people. Speaking of his hair, he keeps it in thick, bushy dreadlocks.

Francis, of course, looks his age. Since he's in his early thirties, he definitely has signs of wear. He has some pretty thick lips that were practically built to accentuate his smile. What helps is his pearly whites. Years of brushing his teeth and good dentistry all his life. Francis has a rather wide, triangle-shaped, nose with with nostrils, and juts out a little bit. His eyes are almond shaped, and a light-brown color. He doesn't have a sharp jawline, or a strong one, but he definitely has a sharp jaw. Finally, his ears are very large and crescent shaped.

All of this is topped off with Francis' goatee.

[/INDENT] 

[color=Blueviolet][b]Attire:[/b] [/color]
[INDENT]Francis fashion sense is as lacking as it gets. When off the job, he'll wear any kind of polo, button ups, and other casual wear, mixed with jeans. Occasionally wearing a jacket of some kind. He's fond of jewelry such as watches, and earrings. On the job, Francis wears a standard RAVEN chailmail armor. Made just to fit him![/INDENT]

[color=Blueviolet][h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3]

[b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Francis is a fairly easygoing guy.

Coming with the philosophy of "treat life with a smile," Francis does just that. He acts friendly as possible, and treats everyone with respect. His brand of kindness is almost child-like. Which some people tend to find a bit annoying. He has a smile on his face most of the time. Whenever he interacts with people, he definitely is laid back, and easy going. He often jokes, and tells stories of his many adventures throughout the world (Whether or not they're true is up to debate). He isn't the kind of person who gets worked up, or angry easily. He takes life through the easy route. Oddly enough, he keeps well composed at all times. He seemingly has a way with people, and tends to be quite charming. He just likes befriending people. Many people find this annoying, however.

That isn't to say he can't discuss topics such as politics, and other serious matters, with the right mindset. Though, despite the fact he's a RAVEN, he's still quite cheerful. In fact, his more cheerful demeanor is just a way for him to escape that mindset. He does understand that a lot of stuff in life ain't pretty, and has experienced tragedy before. Instead of letting the angst overtake him, he just faces it with a smile.

With this attitude, Francis treats himself as an open ear. Being able to listen to people vent for hours on end is such a talent for him that some people wonder just [i]how[/i] he does it. Because of this, he likes to see himself as a mediator in conflict. He'll try to find a middle ground for every interpersonal conflict. But, that is his problem; he tries to find a middle ground where there isn't any. And in addition, he tends to stick his nose where it doesn't belong... it goes without saying what problems this causes him.

Despite his cheerful demeanor, he does understand a few facts about the world. He's far from idealistic, and is quite realistic in his world views. He knows that "love and understanding" won't make problems such as racism go away. To him, peace is not a solution for every problem, and only violence is the answer - but, he knows that it isn't any absolute rule. He'll try his best to go for a peaceful solution, and if he can't... well, he has no other option.

Beneath the smiles; Francis is plagued with doubts, and self-hatreds. He goes out of his way to be friendly, and help people, because, before, he was petty at a crucial moment. And now he lives with the consequences of his actions. Sometimes he wonders if he's making a difference, or is just being conceited.[/INDENT] 

[color=Blueviolet][b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [/color]
[INDENT]While cooking was never Francis' strong-suit, he takes a job at his parents seafood restaurant, and knows how to cook some food. He ain't a masterchef, but he is good enough. Living in Haiti for a chunk of his life means Francis has to be good at Haitian Creole - or Haitian French. He managed to use it as a gateway to learn regular French... and it's hell because he mixes up the two variations. In addition, since he lived in Brazil for awhile, he's also [i]very[/i] good at speaking that. And since he isn't a native English speaker, speaking English counts as a skill for him. His main claim to fame. Francis is like a literal lightning bolt on the trackfield... but, he's always second-best to the taller runners with longer legs. Nonetheless, he can run like a bullet, and his speed and coordination are nothing to laugh at. However, during his time with the CESRM and RAVEN, he has learned extensive firearm and hand to hand training.[/INDENT]

[color=Blueviolet][b]Goals/Motivation[/b][/color]
[INDENT]No especial goals or motivations out there, Francis just wants to improve the world, and better himself.[/INDENT]
[color=Blueviolet][b]History/Bio:[/b][/color]
[INDENT][hider=A Man Scorned]Francis was a boy born in Haiti in the summer of 94'. He, being raised in a poor country, wasn't exactly. Being people who worked as chefs for popular tourist spots, they had enough money to put food on the table for each and every one of Francis' older brothers and sisters. Francis took an interest in playing soccer with the older kids growing up, but he was never old enough to play with them. So, he merely practiced all on his own. 

Though, life for Francis changed during the eventful month of January 2010... the month where the Haiti earthquake took place. While rumbling and shaking took place all over the city, Francis was nearly crushed by a piece of rubble... but managed to save himself when he manifested an "armor" of some sort. A lilac armor that shielded Francis from certain death. It disappeared later... but, he realized that something was wrong with him. Once the young Jean-Pierre got to safety, his family revealed to him that they are a line of Metahumans specializing in mental abilities. His shell was a manifestation of his willpower and passion to guard him from danger. 

After the Haiti Earthquake blew over... there wasn't much for the Jean-Pierre family to do because their house and jobs were all destroyed in the earthquake. There was nothing for the Jean-Pierre family there except for ruined lives. They elected to immigrate to another country, but with so many people trying to leave at once, it seemed impossible for the Jean-Pierre family to leave. However, they were lucky enough to get on a boat to Brazil. Arriving at Rio de Janeiro, it was definitely tough for the immigrant family. With the natives of Brazil being less than receiving to them, they didn't really have many options other than the favela. 

The favela was tough, and the only way the Jean-Pierre family was going to survive, was to adapt. The Jean-Pierre seniors opened up a seafood restaurant in the smackdab of the favela using all their restaurant experience. They, ultimately, became a hit with the locals, and earned a steady income. Enough for the Jean-Pierre siblings to survive.

Francis on the other hand quickly adapted to Brazil. He went to school, and ultimately picked up sports with the other Brazilian kids. When he went home, he had to work at his family's restaurant because they were short-handed at times (doing things such as handling the dishes, and cleaning). It wasn't perfect, but Francis was happy nonetheless. In the meantime, Francis practiced his Psychic-Shell ability. Everything went on perfectly.

By the time Francis was an adult, things changed for the worst. The Verthaven Disaster happened that made global news, and what followed was horrible for Brazil. More Metahumans began popping up there than ever before, and Brazil became a hotspot (Not as large as America, or China, however). In response, a new organization, known as the Special Committee For Metahuman Resources and Security (Shortened to CESRM), was formed. Modeled after DOVE and RAVEN, they were made to bring peace to the crumbling situation with Metahumans.

It wasn't long until it affected the Jean-Pierre family when Metahuman criminals attacked the restaurant owned by the family, and destroyed it in a brutal robbery. Killing Francis' father, and badly injuring his mother, in the process. The tragedy hit the family hard, but they were strapped for cash, and there was no way for them to reasonably get enough to cover their mother's medical treatment. That is, until the family were approached by representatives from the CESRM. They know of the family's ability, and have offered Francis, Claudette, and Edward spots in the new organization.

Claudette, ultimately, turned down the offer, but Francis and Edward joined. Both out of a shared grief, and because they needed to support their mother. After a few months of extensive training, the two brothers were out on the streets, defending Brazil from any Metahuman threats. Both of the brothers had tons of experience in the field of the CESRM... but, it became apparent that the new "defenders" of Brazil were deeply corrupt. With little moderation over the organization, the agents were taking bribes from gang leaders, and more. 

Francis remained focused on his goal, and turned down any under the table deals. Edward, however, was taking all of them. Turning a blind eye to criminal activity, and assisting major gangs such as the Primeiro Comando da Capital commit assassinations. It was only a matter of time before Francis found out, and tore into Edward for his irresponsibility. Edward argued that it was for the family, and the people the gangs were hurting didn't care about them - so they didn't matter to Edward. Francis argued that he was going down a slippery slope, and what he was doing was morally reprehensible. Eventually, the two brother got into a fight, but Edward was the victor of the confrontation. 

Bitter, Francis followed his brother to a meeting at night with the gangs at the docks, but it spiraled out of control when Francis was found out. He really doesn't like talking about what happened, but it ended with his brother, and a lot of other people, dead. It was kept under wraps. While it technically wasn't his fault, he still deeply blames himself for what happened.

Disgraced, Francis couldn't bear to face his family after what happened. Francis decided to head to America to start anew. He already had a lot of money going for him, so he made good use of that. Upon arriving in America in the aftermath of the fall of the Founding Family, Francis decided to join up with RAVEN given his experience with the CESRM. They gladly accepted him, and since then, he has been working with RAVEN, even in this changed climate.[/hider]

[color=Blueviolet][h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3]

[b]Family:[/b][/color]
[hider]

Marilyn Jean-Pierre - Grandmother.
[INDENT]Marilyn Jean-Pierre is the father of Simon, and thus, the paternal grandparent of Francis. She is a rather relaxed old lady - far too old to honestly give a shit anymore. Her living conditions, even after the Haiti earthquake, aren't the best, but she makes due. Staying in the nation, and choosing to die to die where she lived. She is rather estranged from the Jean-Pierre man, he hasn't seen her in years. But, he knows that she knows a lot. A lot more than she lets on. Given her powerful form of telepathy that allows her to access the minds of anyone within Haiti, she does know a lot. And most importantly, she kept this ability a secret for [i]decades[/i] before letting Francis know about it. He keeps it a secret.[/INDENT]

Patrica Jean-Pierre - Mother.
[INDENT]Francis' mother, she married Simon at a very young age, and started the Jean-Pierre family. Life wasn't easy for her, but she made good work of it. As the mother of the Jean-Pierre family, she made sure that the family stayed together regardless of what happened. Whether it's the Haiti Earthquake, or the death of Simon, she made it work. However, it seems to be nigh-impossible to hold the family to hold the family together with the death of Edward, and her death coming up. Francis still sends money down from America to provide her with medical treatment, so she's holding on.[/INDENT]

Simon Jean-Pierre - Father.
[INDENT]The father of the Jean-Pierre family. When he was just but a boy, he was exposed to the secret of the Jean-Pierre family, and their immense cerebral abilities. And it wasn't long before Simon became a metahuman with Astral Projection (with shades of telepathy and telekinesis). Instead of taking it as some calling card to induce change, Simon instead chose to live his life as if he would if he never developed powers. After all, Simon had no real goals. He just started a family, and carried them through whatever the world threw at them. Unfortunately, there was a point where Simon couldn't carry them anymore. That was when he was killed by Metahuman thugs, and left the family shattered.[/INDENT]
 
Claudette Jean-Pierre - Older-Sister.
[INDENT]The oldest (and strangely, tallest) of the Jean-Pierre siblings. A tall portly woman that had to be the tough one when the siblings were growing up. Whenever someone picked on them, she would go break their nose. When they needed food, she would find work (even illegal work). Even growing up, this attitude didn't change one bit. Hell, she got even tougher. Claudette had to take the place of the family mom when Patricia was hospitalized. She was the most disappointed in her brothers after hearing what happened - Edward for working with crime groups, and Francis for running away from everything after his death. Nonetheless, she keeps in touch with Francis, and even has a daughter of her own on the way. Claudette has the ability to manifest a cerebral flame that corresponds with her emotions. When she's angry, the fire is destructive. When she is sad, the fire heals people, and so on.[/INDENT]

Edward Jean-Pierre - Younger Brother.
[INDENT]Francis' younger brother, who also doubles as his rival for when he was younger. All Edward wanted to do was beat Francis at something, somehow. So, Francis and Edward grew up with a less than healthy mindset in regards to each other. Edward was never the smartest in regards to long term planning, so he just did what seemed like would advance him. Which is what drove him to work with the gangs of Brazil. Ultimately, it ended with his death. Francis had a basic ability of telekinesis that allowed him to move objects without touching them.[/INDENT]

[hider][indent][h3]| [b]Meifeng Zhao[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Neutral[/b] | [b]Co-Worker[/b] | [i]"Can tell she's been through alot. Can't say I hold it against 'er."[/i] |
[indent] Meifeng and Francis are both employees of RAVEN, and, thus, maintain a close work relationship. However, Meifeng has been rather dismissive of Francis, and has been keeping him at a distance. Refusing any of his attempts at forming a friendship. Francis was at first hurt, before learning about everything Meifeng has been through. Since then, Francis has decided to give her space. [/indent]

[h3]| [b]Andrea Pasternack[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Good[/b] | [b]Intern[/b] | [i]"I understand that her heart's in the right place."[/i] |
[indent] Even though their first encounter didn't go well (at least, from Andrea's perspective), Francis holds a somewhat high opinion of Andrea. He thinks she's a passionate and dedicated woman, that has the right mindset to succeed in DOVE. Well, he thinks she might be a little [i]too[/i] passionate about bring Happiness to DOVE's attention. Francis wants to help her on his spare time, as he understands that things will get ugly if they don't get to the bottom of it. But, he hopes that if it really isn't any of DOVE's concern, Andrea will drop it. He thinks that she has a promising future in DOVE. [/indent]


[h3]| [b]Jackson Drake[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Good[/b] | [b]Old Friend[/b] | [i]"Heeeeey, it's been years since I seen 'im. Wish that our reunion didn't have to involve arresting him!"[/i] |
[indent] Jackson and Francis go way back. All the way back to Brazil when Francis worked for the CESRM. He was on the case of a group of Metahuman criminals when he came across a village, and an American. The American was Jackson, whom Francis saved from certain death with his ability. Since then, the two kept in touch before the incident, and Francis leaving Brazil behind him. He recently had to arrest Jackson for fighting. [/indent]

[b]Power Class:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]Cerebral[/INDENT] 
[color=Blueviolet][b]Power:[/b] [/color]
[i]Psychic-Shell.[/i]
[INDENT]Francis can project a mental "armor" of some sort that is powered by his willpower, intelligence, and emotions. This armor covers him from head to toe in an opaque layer that is a lilac color. This shell is normally featureless, as it's smooth. Though, it appears to have a helmet of some sort with a trident at his crown. This Shell grants Francis a great deal of durability, because he can easily shrug off blows from super strong metahumans, and other impacts that would kill him. It also grants him enough strength to lift 350lb, which is enough to give someone a bad day. However, there is only so much it can take before it breaks. As Francis grows as a person, the shell will get even stronger, and allow him to perform even greater feats. Also, the shell gives Francis a defense against psychics. So, while it's active, any telepaths will have a harder time getting to his secrets![/INDENT]

[color=Blueviolet][b]Limits:[/b][/color]
[INDENT]The Psychic-Shell is connected to Francis' willpower and emotions. If he's feeling particularly unmotivated, then the shell will weaken to the point where he can't perform the usual feats. Whenever Francis does a particularly great feat - say tanking a super strong punch, or punching through a wall - the shell will give out for a few moments. Leaving him vulnerable as it regenerates. Francis can't keep the shell up for too long, because the shell will begin to wear down on his psyche. Eventually causing painful headaches, and various generic side effects such as nosebleeds. If he pushes himself further from this point, he'll suffer what'll effectively be a stroke, and begins ashing.
[/INDENT]

[color=Blueviolet][b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [/color]
[INDENT]The main weakness comes when you realize that it's a shell, not a transformation. Francis is able to tank blades, and low caliber bullets with ease, but it definitely does nothing to absorb or negate the impact. Which Francis will feel, and definitely get injured from. Which is why the Shell is the best when dealing with blades, and other piercing attacks, than full force attacks.
