@Framing A Moose ummm... No that's not taken but you can't be so insane you can't interact

@KatherinWinter

Don't worry, it won't be that bad.

[Framing A Moose]

@KatherinWinter

What is the mansion's attic like?

Also, when I say super intelligent, I mean, like, she's supernaturally intelligent. Like, she's the smartest person in the world.

[KatherinWinter]

@Framing A Moose Wouldn't that mean she wouldn't need the group? Umm....I'll come up with an attic. I hadn't planned on.

[Framing A Moose]

@Framing A Moose Wouldn't that mean she wouldn't need the group?

@KatherinWinter

Not necessarily. You see, because she is the smartest person in the world, she doesn't really know how to deal with people. Not to mention she wants to join because she was one of the few test subjects who actually liked Dr. Whitney. In fact, she's a big fan of his work. I'm sure that she'd go just so she could investigate his work in further detail.

[KatherinWinter]

@Framing A Moose hmmm... I can see her wanting to study the experiment and the results she wouldn't need the team for thst. If she's that smart she could hack into the computers

[Framing A Moose]

@KatherinWinter

My thinking is that she has. She's learned all she could from the files, and has now decided to go back to the mansion to examine Dr. Whitney's other subjects, as they are the result of all of his research. Of course, this would lead to her knowing all about all of them, if that's okay with you.

[KatherinWinter]

@Framing A Moose thats a problem. If she knows everything there's no point in having Lily or Ryland. Plus you know nothing about DR. Peter Whitney

@KatherinWinter

Why would Lily and Ryland not matter? It in no way effects them. Hansel (my character's name) will just know about the characters. It'll do no harm.

Also, you said that Dr. Whitney was famous.

[KatherinWinter]

@Framing A Moose Lily is supposed to know the most because Dr. Whitney is her father. And her knowledge is limited. If you know more them I do there is no point to having Lily around. And while Dr. Whitney is famous mortal dobt know much about him or his experiments

@KatherinWinter

Well, Hansel would have no reason to tell anyone about anything, she'd just know, and keep most of it to herself. Besides, it'd make the most sense. There's no reason why Hansel wouldn't know.

Also, we mentioned how Hansel could probably hack into his files.

[KatherinWinter]

@Framing A Moose we can try it. But I think it's going to be hard

[Framing A Moose]

@Framing A Moose we can try it. But I think it's going to be hard

@KatherinWinter

Okay, cool! Thanks! It shouldn't be too hard! If you have anything additional you think Hansel would know, you can PM me. :)

[Framing A Moose]

@KatherinWinter

What did Dr. Whitney look like before he died?

[KatherinWinter]

@Framing A Moose

[Framing A Moose]

@Framing A Moose

@KatherinWinter

And how old is he?

[KatherinWinter]

65

[Framing A Moose]

65

@KatherinWinter

And did he have a wife? Or any romantic or sexual relationships with women (or men, if he swings that way)?

[Framing A Moose]

Name: Hansel Miller

Age: 20

Appearance:



Power: Super Intelligence (Which comes with super observation and memorization)

Bio: Hansel was born the daughter of a 16 year old girl named Susan Miller, who was accidentally impregnated by some one-night stand at her high school. The girl didn't want to get an abortion, but she also knew she couldn't keep it, so that left her with only one option: adoption. So Hansel grew up in an orphanage. It wasn't terrible. The kids were nice to her, and so were the staff. But little Hansel found that she was happiest when she was at her public school. There was something about learning new things and pushing her mind that seemed so natural to her. She was always the best in her class, even the couple times she skipped a year. When she was 10, she was in seventh grade. People treated her the same at the orphanage, or Group Home, as the staff called it, but the kids at school did start bullying her a bit due to her young age. But this only made her focus even more on her schoolwork, and she began improving even further in the academic field.

Finally, when she was 12, her freshman year, she got adopted. She was very happy to hear that the man who was adopting her was a scientist! Dr. Peter Whitney was his name. Hansel was slightly saddened by the news that the scientist would be pulling her out of school, but that feeling of sadness soon evaporated when she heard that she'd be helping Dr. Whitney take leaps forward into uncharted territories of the scientific world. And though many of the experiments were painful and scarring, Hansel stuck with it, never losing faith that she was helping humanity. These experiments continued, until one day, something the doctor did unlocked the power in Hansel's brain. She was smart before the experiments, but this? This was a whole knew kettle of fish! Her intelligence even surpassed Dr. Whitney's by a landslide! In fact, her intelligence surpassed everyone's. At first, it was amazing, the feeling of being able to notice every little thing, the feeling of being able to do anything. But after a while, it became a little too much. Everything she noticed, she remembered. Everything she did, she remembered. Everything she said and heard, she remembered. The human mind can only take so much, even when modified. But somehow, nothing slipped from her human mind.

As soon as Dr. Whitney let Hansel go, she used her newly developed intelligence to track down her birth mother. It was as easy as cake. Literally. Tracking down her long lost mom was as easy, if not easier, than baking a cake. Anyway, Susan Miller was apparently making it big as a novelist and even had a large mansion in San Diego. It took very little convincing for Susan to let her daughter stay in her mansion with her. In the years after, Hansel and Susan became very close. Hansel also became a bit of a shut-in, rarely leaving the comforts of the mansion. In fact she became a little agoraphobic, and was actually slightly afraid of being outside. But that didn't much matter. She had everything she needed in the mansion. That was until she was 20, when she heard about the demise of her dear friend, Dr. Whitney, and the fact that his daughter, Lily, was opening the doors of the mansion back up for the 'victimis' of the experiments. While Hansel disliked the fact that not even the scientist's own daughter could see that what he brought was a gift rather than a curse, she also thought it would only be right to see the results of her idol's experiments in person, even though she'd already read all their files. So she kissed her mother goodbye, promised to call everyday, and set off towards the mansion.

[Varicke]

Wow all around me are familiar faces... *cough*

It's been 4 months, what a hiatus! Nonetheless, I'm eager to join another one of your roleplays Kathy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a kid

Appearance: 5'9, slim with lean muscle. Black hair, grey eyes, naturally pale skin.

Name: Kailod Trouvin|(Kye-lawd) (Trow-vin)

Age: 19

Power: Sensory Illusion (Can manipulate what people see, taste, smell, feel, hear) and Venomous bite (An odd physical result from the experimentation in addition to his base power)

Strengths: Amazing ability to focus consistently (This helps him manipulate the senses of multiple people at a time), incredible visual memory (In a memory he can recall almost every little physical detail as if he was watching a video of his past), near perfect retaining of sensory information (If he recalls on a certain memory, he can remember what the temperature felt like, what he smelled, what he saw, what he could feel)

Weaknesses: His retaining of sensory info and visual memory is severely limited by what he remembers (He has the normal memory of an average human and can't remember every little thing, but what he does remember is in great detail), his ability of Sensory Illusion is based entirely on his will and control (Amazing focus helps with this power, but he can easily lose control of it. For example if he's afraid the hallucinations will turn against him and doesn't regain his composure quick, then he will begin to hallucinate things that terrify him, or his mind will basically go against him thus causing his power to go against him as well.), had a depressing childhood and traumatic experiences (This can trigger uncontrollable emotions which will greatly affect his ability to control his power.)

Extra: Always wears a coat since he easily gets cold. Enjoys playing chess and card games against himself. Often times seems like a loner. Favourite thing to do is read nonfiction books.

Bio (You know these can get very long since I seldom get a chance to be super creative.)
-------------

Simplified

Kailods mother died at birth leaving him with his art obsessed father who was left distraught by his wife's death. His father was negligent, not providing him with the proper needs of a growing child, too obsessed with his paintings. They were poor and living off of support. Kailod grew to be emotionally distant and extremely independent. His dad always forgets his birthday so on his 12th birthday he went to remind his father only to find him dead from severe malnutrition. He was placed in an orphanage where he remained until he was 14. A strange man of eerie uncertainty had taken him in.

Kailod became an experiment, forced through visual images, flashing lights, dna manipulation and brainwave alterations. He read through one of the man's papers while absent during an experiment to find out he had gained a venomous bite from one of the experiments and there was a mention of 'Sensory Manipulation' which would explain his hallucinations of grotesque creatures and beasts when he was afraid. He was later shut out due to his inability to cooperate when too fearful and was tossed into a different orphanage where he was bullied for the first time. Tired of being looked down on and afraid, during a confrontation he visualized himself as a terrifying monster in the eyes of his bully. Said bully was hospitalized. Kailod put two and two together and began to experiment with his new found power, even making people have full conversations with the hallucinations he made them see.

The day before his 18th birthday, he rendered himself invisible to everyone's visual senses, took every bit of information they had on him and set out to start his life. Age 19, he lives in an apartment where he steals food and money using his power. He has yet to test out his venomous bite but has gained control over his base power. During a usual day while browsing the internet, he had come across a recent news article about a familiar individual.

Thoroughly Detailed

Kailod had been born into a life that was going downhill from day one. His mother had died during birth and he was left with his distraught father who wasn't always readily available to meet his needs as a young child. His father was an obsessed painter trying to make a living through his art, always in a constant belief that he had talent for paintings worthy of a royal palace, despite his art never selling. It was clear to Kailod when he reached age 6 that something was wrong with his father. They had been receiving money through supporting means until his father could get a job, but he was trapped in denial and desperation as he continued to paint. No affection, no fun and games, no playing ball at the park. Kailod grew emotionally distant as he became more independent for his own survival at age 11, cooking his own food, walking to school and doing chores, while his dad continued to slave away in his work room uttering curses into the silence. Kailod's 12th birthday, he woke up to the sound of his alarm and checked the date on his calendar as usual in his morning routine. His birthday. He knew his dad had forgotten again. He headed to his dads work room, since he usually slept in there on a cot. Opening the door he could only see his father still sitting on the stool, leaning his head against a blank canvas, his previous one obviously ripped to shreds next to his feet. He walked over to him shaking his shoulders. "Dad... it's my birthday..." he slid off his stool and fell limp to the ground... 30 minutes later, police and paramedics were scattered about his house after he called 911. They told him his father died of severe malnutrition. Kailod couldn't really fathom what he should have felt in that moment, but one thing was for certain: he truly felt utterly and hopelessly alone.

Everything in his life had been tossed and turned from that point. He was thrown into an orphanage where he was also placed into a program to cope with the recent events. His schooling continued as usual until he was 14, when a strange man had come to see him. The man had a caring smile, but it unnerved him to the bone. Not long after, he finds himself practically forced into a series of little experiments to achieve some unknown goal. Flashing colours and lights through his head, brainwave alterations, visual imaging, dna manipulation, sleepless nights. Despite it all Kailod was afraid to disobey this man, he would tremble at his command as if his life was on the line. No real threat was directed to him, but he always felt more and more vulnerable and different. It was then after some of the experiments, he started to hallucinate things he was afraid of. Suddenly whenever Dr. Whitney came into view, his heart rate would quicken in fear and the man would shift and morph into grotesque and terrifying creatures each time, mimicking what he thought the man really was. He had spoken about it to Whitney, who proceeded to test it out at time, but each experiment on it made Kailod see something worse and more worse each time until he'd gotten too fearful to follow commands. He had taken a peak at the mans papers whenever he left to get something during an experiment; he read very clearly 'Subject gained venomous glands, physical alteration, body doesn't seem to consider as foreign and shows no signs of rejecting it. Subject has been given a venomous bite, wear thicker gloves.'. Another paper had stated 'Sensory Manipulation, likely the given ability through experimentation. Alters perspective according to what subject feels or thinks. May be able to control it, but has gotten more difficult to get subject cooperate. Further analysis needed.'

After a time with no warning the man had grown much too frustrated with him and he had been sent back to the life of an orphan, but he was transferred to a different orphanage than the previous one. The kids there weren't very kind. It was the first time in Kailod's life that he's been bullied. It was there he had learned of his actual power. His hallucinations weren't so bad since he felt safer outside of the mansion, but he kept thinking back on what the doctor meant by 'given ability'. One day a particular kid he wasn't too fond of approached him, snatching the book he was reading and making fun of his interests. Kailod wasn't very intimidating, small, weak, quiet. It was during this confrontation that he had wished they would see him as scarier, someone you shouldn't mess with. His bully's expression fell from smug slowly to confusion and then horror as Kailod appeared to warp into a faceless monster of oozing black tar right in front of his very eyes. The bully had screamed bringing the attention of everyone in the orphanage. He kept yelling and frantically shouting "MONSTER, IT'S A FREAKING MONSTER!!" he was taken to a hospital and hadn't come back since. Kailod had known full well that a monster is exactly what he imagined himself to look like to the bully. He started to experiment, making people see lights in the corner of their eyes, watching closely as they would look in the direction he had incorporated it into their vision. He knew for sure that he had an incredible power when he had used it on another orphan, making her see her friend and striking up a conversation with her, meanwhile she was talking to thin air. Not only could he make people see, hear and feel these... 'hallucinations' but he could use it on himself as well. His final test on his new ability was the day before his 18th birthday. The next day he would be allowed to leave, but he didn't want to wait anymore, he was patient enough. He altered the visual senses of everyone in his vicinity so that he was completely invisible to them. He grabbed everything he needed and left as if he was never there to begin with, took all his records, everything they had on him and truly started his new life. Sure they'll try looking for him, but he'll already be long gone with a head start.

By age 19, he had completely settled into an apartment where he lived on his own, surviving on food and money he'd stolen using his power. The venom he would occasionally taste every once in a while was simply a mere nuisance that his mind learned to ignore, he has yet to test it out. However, he has gained much more control over his power, often times even being immature with it and messing with people from time to time. Even making himself temporary imaginary friends whenever he got lonely. It was then while browsing the internet, he came across a recent article showing the photo of a very familiar face that sent chills down his spine.

[KatherinWinter]

And did he have a wife? Or any romantic or sexual relationships with women (or men, if he swings that way)?

@Framing A Moose

No wife. He never seriously dated. He's very single minded. Hansel is approve

@Varicke welcome back. I hope you can stay this tine. Why was he sent back to the orphanage?
