He's made it his personal agenda to stay on top of things, and handle the new superhuman populace as well as work on figuring out a solution to save & unite humanity before the coming war.

Name: Sebastian Stewart (Prefers the nickname ‘Seb’)

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Religion: Athiest

Sexuality: Bisexual, open to a little bit of everything.

Occupation: ‘Professional Gambler’ – i.e. someone who spends all their time, and money, at a casino. His day job, which funds his adventures to the casino, is as a Taxi Driver.

Abilities:
Counting cards – Before he got his power he had to rely on tricks like counting cards to win in a casino. He got quite good at it, but took a break from the casino scene to avoid the broken legs he was fairly close to receiving. As a result, he is quite good at math, and running.

Confidence – Well calling this an ability is a little extreme, but he has a natural confidence that gets him through some of life’s stickier situations. He once talked his way out of an arranged marriage to a drug lord’s daughter. The only catch was that he had to transport a few questionable items into the country. A situation that he promptly talked his way through safe and sound.

Medical Knowledge – Despite his lack of interesting during his study, Sebastian was able to retain a fair bit of information. He has a good understanding of medicine, and is able to treat minor wounds. Some practice has made him rather good at fixing broken bones and gunshot wounds, even when the patient is himself.

Faults:
Compulsive liar – Sebastian has a hard time determining the truth from the lies. Often finds himself confused as he struggles to remember the facts. This, coupled with a past of substance abuse makes for a strenuous grasp on reality.

Fears – His biggest fear is falling into his lies and forgetting who he really is. His other fears include bouncers, security cameras, large dogs and being caught cheating. Especially being caught cheating.

Physicality – Sebastian is an intellectual, focusing more on matters of the mind than matters of the flesh. To phrase it in a much more accurate sense, he is not strong. He isn't very fit either, which makes his daring escapes in the face of danger even more stressful.

Enemies – Sebastian has made a good number of friends that have some influence around the city’s underground. Unfortunately, he has made a far greater number of enemies. He often avoids walking around at night if he can, and generally sticks to more populated sections of the city. He has even had to relocate once when his apartment was introduced to a few Molotov cocktails.

Gambling Addiction – Well this goes without saying, he has a rather uncontrollable compulsion to gamble away his hard money.

Power:
Lady Luck – Lady luck seems to favour some above others. In Sebastian’s case, it would seem that she was somewhat of a stalker. His power is hard to define, and even harder to directly control. He can 'imbue' items or people with 'luck' to a degree, allowing them to do very lucky, or unlucky things. For example, he can touch a deck of cards and draw all four aces in a row, or touch a gun and cause it to misfire. His power is strictly limited to physical touch though, so he often has to get creative when it comes to dealing with a confrontation. There was one situation where his phone blocked a bullet from hitting his heart, but it still came pretty close to killing him. I guess it was pretty lucky he survived.

Personality: Some might call him eccentric. Others might call him a weirdo. But if you were to ask Sebastian, he would say that he was an amazing actor. Around people he considers his true friends, he is a bubbly man that is more than happy to help with any issues. He acts like himself, and expresses his love for things like classical music and fine art, but around people that he is unfamiliar with he becomes much more calculating. He will do whatever he can to appeal to a person, pretending to like things or to dislike things. But if someone is able to see past his demeanour he acts as he usually would, a happy go lucky young man without a care in the world.

History: Sebastian had the kind of life you might read about in a PSA about the dangers of drugs. He was a bright and friendly kid with loving and respectful parents. He was brought up in a good town and went to a prestigious high school, ready to make the transition into medical school to become a doctor. But it was when he moved out of home that his life started to slip. He fell in with the wrong crowd and started to stay out all night drinking and gambling away all his money. He was able to maintain his lifestyle, but it wasn’t long until one of his ‘friends’ introduced him to something a little more intense.

He started taking any drug he could get his hands on, though his particular favourite was cocaine. He began a spiral down into addiction, hatred and despair. Fast-forward a few years, and we are met with a very different man than the bright young boy that had left to start a promising medical career. Sebastian had dropped out of medical school, cut off all contact with his parents and started living in a run-down apartment surrounded by countless drug dealers and gangsters. On the bright side, he had given up the drugs. On the not so bright side, he had developed a small case of compulsive lying. But back on the bright side, he has a job as a taxi driver. It doesn’t pay too well but it covers the necessities like rent and bills. Food is optional, but he prefers to spend his money at the casino. These days he doesn’t have any people he would consider friends, more like people he would consider useful.

Paranoid: Hah! Paranoia is something that he's dealing with and not only when he's breaking down bricks of cocaine and bales of marijuana to be shipped across the city. He gets paranoid about certain things like whether his friends are plotting against him or are truly his friends, to if a teacher crossed him wrong on purpose or something.

Arrogance: This may be seen as a strength to some, but he will refuse to give up on his position no matter how much evidence is potrayed to show him in the wrong, and will even get infuriated at further attempts to get him to concede his point which can lead to him acting irrationally.

Greed: He's obsessed with money to the point that it's an unhealthy infatuation. He sees money as freedom, and has often been quoted saying he'd gladly sell his soul to the devil for 7 figures. Not only for money, he's greedy for everything but money is his primary love. He's greedy for the best women, the best cars, the best of everything, he wants the best of everything.

Faults(Tell me what really makes you human. Any fears, mental illness, or just what makes them not perfect ie problem with procrastination, substance abuse, inferiority complex ect)

Substance Abuse: He's always been prone to using drugs for one reason or another. At first for experimentation other times to cope with the stress of his hard life, and other times simply because he believes he deserves to be high or because the "Elite are all high" For whatever excuse he has he's always struggled with drugs.

Other drugs he commonly abuses along with his DOC include Cocaine, Percocet, Xanax, & Alcohol.

Power: Psionic Manipulation - He has the ability to manipulate psionic energy which grant him the ability of telepathy and telekinesis.

Personality: Luke is extremely self centered, and focused on his own goals and success in life. He places value on money, and other materialistic items above people. He has an extremely pessimistic view of most people, although he does have a few people in his life whom he is close to and actually cares for although not as much as himself. He enjoys making money, and has a drive for success despite some of his numerous faults such as being high almost all the time or half the time when he's busy. He has no problem with crime or violence believing anything is necessary, and justifies that behavior by believing God didn't give him the tools to do anything better with his life. He is extremely dismissive of anyone who tries to tell him otherwise, and hates authority of all kind. He believes everyone should listen to him, and people would be better off if they do that. He sees himself as above the law and other norms of society, and wants enough money to live like corrupt politicians and celebrities he idolizes.

History: Luke Braxton was born in LA, and had a pretty harsh upbringing. He was among three children, he had a sister Tanya, and an older brother Craig. His father was a pretty notorious criminal and high ranking drug dealer, and involved in other criminal pursuits and his family owned a great restaurant Braxton's Wings.When he was four his father was brutally murdered, and their life took a turn for the worst from there. His mother Tammy was struggling to manage the family's restaurant while also managing a pretty severe addiction to prescription pain killers, and marijuana.

Luke's youth was nearly turned upside several times due to his mother's irresponsible behavior and managing of their finances, and she ended up becoming an escort on the side to support the family. Luke knew from a young age he wanted to establish wealth for not only himself but his family for generations to come. He was always focused in school, and played sports early on but seeing as he was not a superb athlete quickly let that go in middle school knowing he wouldn't ever be professional. He took up after his brother Craig who was getting into the drug business, and followed in his brother's foot steps to become an excellent drug dealer by the time he was a freshmen in high school.

His brother was a freshmen in college around this time and was busted by the DEA for being involved in a major cocaine and heroin operation. After this his mother had a religious conversion and believed they needed a change of scenery. With the rest of the money from her Escort business she moved the family to Atlanta, and focused on opening another chain of their restaurant in the city. Luke tried to change his life, and decided he wanted to go into law, seeing the money lawyers were making from his various criminal accomplices seeking their representation. He left selling drugs alone, and went to work in his family's business, but the restaraunt wasn't nearly as successful in Atlanta. He got into using drugs himself, and become a heavy pothead to cope with the stress of his life. He managed to score a scholarship to Georgia State University, and began getting into other drugs. Seeing how much money he was wasting, he ended up making connections and starting selling drugs, to have a decent legal revenue he got a job working for Uber & Lyft as well. He's determined to make money, go to law school, and make even more money his only goal.

[berd]

Name: Joanna Garis
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Religion: Former Catholic, now agnostic.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Occupation: Vlogger

Abilities:
-Vlogger: This extends into camera work, video editing, lighting, and navigating social media. Everything it takes to have a successful and profitable vlog

-Mechanic: Jo has an Associate of Applied Science Degree and accreditation. If it has wheels and a transmission then she probably knows how to repair or modify it as well as the proper use of the tools required.

-Athletic: Jo eats right and takes care of herself. When she's not on the road, her routines can include walking, swimming, or running.

Faults:
-Introvert: Despite her online persona, Joanna is a pretty quiet and shy person at heart. The camera creates a barrier that lets her feel normal. Even though she knows a lot of people watch her videos, it's still just her and her equipment. Groups are fine so long as she doesn't have to interact with them at all. And you can forget about speaking in front of crowds.

-Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA): Though not as severe as it could be, this has dogged Jo for most of her life. On the autism spectrum, PDA drives her to avoid demands and expectations. Regular human day-to-day tasks become rocks she has to climb. A regular job and hours would be almost impossible. It really is a miracle that she got through college.

Power: The Blueprint - Jo can see how something works, how it can be improved, how to fix it, and how to take it apart. The only constraints on her power are time, tools, and materials. It's not like she can take apart a lock with her bare hands, but if she's in a shop or supply store she could probably cobble together a grappling hook gun in about ten minutes. All she needs to do is see it and she can make it.

Personality: Joanna is a kind, approachable, and charming person, so long as it's no more than a small group. She loves sharing neat things she's discovered and the simple joys in life with others. More than that? She starts to have problems. She gets quiet or finds ways to divorce herself from being the center of attention. Public speaking has made her physically ill before.

When the mood strikes her, Jo begins to display her contemplative streak. It made her question many things such as her beliefs, her relationship with her parents, and her own maturity. It's a sentiment that has started to make its way into her videos. Some people have disliked her critical stance on politics and media, but Joanna feels like they are important things to discuss and think about.

History: Joanna was born in Oregon, though she'd never be able to remember it. He parents moved to Nebraska shortly afterwards. On one hand it was to be closer to family, but on the other it was for better jobs. Otherwise she grew up as your typical Midwestern upper middle class kid. She was a bit more reclusive than most and full of endless questions about the world around her, but pretty much normal.

The problems came when she entered junior high and high school. Her quiet nature blossomed into severe social awkwardness. Save for a few intensely close friendships she really didn't fit in anywhere. Her PDA also hit its peak as she found it harder and harder to even make it to class. Her parents didn't help much either. They were emotionally distant and pushed, usually through shaming, for her to quit being so lazy.

Getting her first car drastically changed her life. The freedom and the solitude it offered were almost addictive. She also became obsessed with how it worked and toyed with the idea of modifying it herself, but the costs involved were always prohibitive. It also pushed her into considering a career in the automotive industry, a push that blossomed with her application to Northeast Community College in Norfolk.

It was rough. The hardest thing she'd ever done, but at least her love of the work kept her going. It was also at this time that she started to vlog. It wasn't anything special and she cringes at it to this day, but after a particularly rough day she had to vent about her frustrations and problems to someone. It turned her life around. Her video took off, she doesn't even know why, and the people that responded back introduced her to the idea that she might have PDA.

Three years later she attained her degree, sold her old car to be replaced by a BMW R1200GS, and began a travel vlog series that she's continued ever since. Life for Jo has been good. But now, something weird is starting to happen every time she looks at something too closely...

Eye color: Brown

Hair: Shaggy, dark black

Name: Kieran Hishamie

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Religion: Christian (Non-denominational) but does not share common christian views

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Occupation: Freelance Government Contractor (AKA an intelligence operative who owes service to the highest bidder)

Abilities: Master marksman with rifles, small handguns, and throwing projectiles. Excellent agility, reflexes, sight of hand, Expert in hand to hand combat.

Faults: Very poor social skills, not much of a people person. Fears being manipulated, does not like to being controlled. Kieran has no issues with being given orders when being paid, but he believes he has enough world experience to know when he is being played into a death trap or when he is being used in a way that will bring him down. Daily suicide missions he can handle, even excel at, but only because they were not missions directly designed by anothers will with the sole purpose of ending his existence. This, Kieran does not tolerate.

Power: Kieran has the ability of control over dark matter, although control is a relatively weak term. When he tries to access his power it tends to blow up in his face. Sometimes literally, sometimes literally in other peoples faces. Dark Matter, or black matter, is the opposite of matter, the yang to the ying, the opposite of creation. For this reason Kieran does not use his power often. He does not have the space or time to practice, and will only use it as a trump card if cornered and the only other immediate option is death.

Personality: Kieran is basically a sarcastic little shit. He doesn't always speak his thoughts, but you can be sure inside his head is a storm of sarcasm the world has never seen before. He prefers actions over words, but a nice small verbal sarcasm joust is never lost on him. Kieran believes strongly in free will, and the only exception he makes with his work ethic is when he uncovers enslavement. Normally Kieran is indifferent to most things except when it comes to slavery or anything related to that. Kieran becomes very upset at that.

History: Kieran's mother died giving birth to him. She fell very ill late into her pregnancy, and the final effort into giving Kieran life drained her of hers. The doctors insisted on keeping Kieran at the hospital for awhile, to monitor his vitals to make sure he wasnt sick. Little did Kierans father and older brother know, that it was uncovered that Kieran was randomly selected by a very wealthy man to become his new property, in the appropriate way. The doctors told Kierans family that he died days later, falling ill and not recovering. In reality he was secreted away by paid off doctors and given to the wealthy business man. For the next ten years every day was spent in training Kieran in different subjects. After ten years Kieran was given his first test, to kill a man in cold blood. Kieran did so without blinking, thinking that his father had his best interests at heart. This went on for years, testing him over and over, then training him in something else. But at age sixteen Kieran was betrayed. It seemed his fake father tried selling him to a war torn country warlord. Kieran was furious, thinking how could his father do such a thing to him. He did everything his father instructed, never disobeyed, and was still sold off like some....thing. Kieran killed his guards, killed the warlord, and made his way back to the states to take revenge. When he infiltrated his old home he took it upon himself to first look through the forbidden rooms of the home, which was most of them, for resources he could take after he left. In doing so he found his fathers study, and documents and records indicating the situation of his birth. Finding out he was bought and stolen, Kieran became enraged. Kieran flew into a frenzy, slaying everyone in the manor saving his fake father for last. He took his time, causing so much pain but not letting the man die. Not yet. It took hours for the screaming to stop. At this point Kieran goes off the grid, resurfacing every now again to let his legend grow in the intelligence community.

Sally Kugera

Gender: Female
Religion: None
Sexuality: Bisexual
Occupation: Criminal = assassination/dealer/protection/etc
Abilities: Sleight of hand, leadership expert, art of seduction, mental analytical expert

Power:Human battery - she can absorb energy from other powered peoples powers through ehr hands, also from other sources of energy. Can only be used to heal herself or use herself as a power source.
Personality: Sally is used ot getting her way, so she is very confident. She moves with grace and elegance that is high abover her born station.
History: Sally in a similar position as Kieran, as in she was taken from her family and raised by a vastly wealthy women as her personal weapon. Sally though was more fortunate, her fake mother ended up truly caring for Sally. From time to time Sally would be used as a training partner for Kieran, as their fake parents were associates. This caused them to bond, and as they had no one else they fell in love. They would often sneak out, their fake parents knowing this but never letting out, to spend time together. But their relationship was purely emotional never physical. On the day Kieran was sold, Sally was torn apart. All she wanted was to rescue Kieran and was given permission by her mother to rescue him. But by the time Sally arrived in the war torn nation, Kieran had made his way back and...taken care of buisness. They lost touch for a while, and the next time they met accidently on a job, it was different. Kieran was much colder and had gone through many more hardships alone than before. Sally couldnt penetrate his shell, and while she has never given up, it seems like an almost impossible task to get Kieran to take down his guards to feel again. Sally, after her fake mother died of natural causes, chose to not get involved in government. She knew Kieran was doing that, and knew that if she did the same she would follow his emotional path. She instead turned her focus on building her criminal empire.

Christoph is very adaptable, always changing himself to suit the needs of others. He views himself as a blank canvas, ready to take on whatever shape he needs to in order to survive. He's personable and agreeable, but doesn't seek out lasting friendship with others.

History

Christoph has always coasted through life, never having any aspirations past owning his own cafe, and that only recently. His father was absent from his life growing up, so he was raised alone by his mother. By the time he reached highschool, he was already self sufficient enough that he could hold a part time job, and by the time he was in college he was working full time and supporting his mother as well as taking classes. He always survived by making connections and being flexible, hiding in the background and never choosing the spotlight.

Name: Alan "Carter" Smith

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Religion: Non-practicing Catholic

Sexuality: Straight

Occupation: Officially he owns a small bookstore on the edge of the city.

Abilities:

- Leader and Strategist: Has been planning and leading heists and sometimes other criminal escapades on and off again since his early twenties.

- Agile: What got him noticed for grooming into his life of crime and constantly useful in his operations

- Brawler and Gunman: No professional training in either, but he has been enough fistfights and used guns enough times throughout his life that he's picked up on some of the finer details of each. That said he'd still call in a professional if he really need either on a job.

- Well Connected: He may only be coming back to his criminal roots recently after getting his powers, but he knows a lot of people to call on if he needs particular skill sets and most of them know and respect his abilities.

Faults: Alan doesn't trust anyone emotionally out of fear of abandonment and more than that he doesn't trust himself. He is always doubting his own thoughts and feelings, striving to push himself and and prove that he can do the things he thinks that he can do if only for the momentary validation of himself and his abilities.

Power: Electricity manipulation

Personality: You wouldn't be able to tell how cold, distant and hateful of the greater world Alan was by the way he runs his jobs. He get's to know all of his men, encourages them and shares dark humor with them. Still he never let's any of them get too close.

History: Born of middle class parents Alan didn't have much time to enjoy a normal life before his parents both died at the hands of a cop during a traffic stop. After that he and his two younger siblings spent most of their childhoods in an orphanage without really knowing what exactly happened to their parents and without much hope for the future. It was particularly bad for Alan who hated the way the orphanage was run and could only barely coexist with the staff. Regardless he stowed it away for the sake of his brother and sister. When he was a teenager he fell in with a bad crowd and had his first run in with the police. Alan outran them and eluded them all night until he met the man who would become his master, an aging man called Reagan, who just so happened to be a master thief. He taught Alan everything he knew and before Alan was in college he was already participating in some fairly big heists. The money was, as Alan told himself, for his brother and sister to help them get on in life, but when they found out what Alan had done to get it, they dissociated with him only keeping his secret out of respect for their familial connection. So he threw himself at his work. Alan became notable enough to run his own crew and make his own jobs. One day though he stumbled upon the most beautiful woman he had ever seen by the name of Elizabeth. She came of old money and her father was determined to involve her heavily with his business partners and eventually marry her off like some medieval lord. They met in secret for a few years before Her father found out and and forbid there meeting ever again. Eli complied and turned Alan away again and again. Abandoned by everyone in his life Alan removed himself from the world for a while before coming back to the criminal scene with a vengeance. He went after big heist after big heist before once again leaving the scene, telling his associates only that there wasn't anything else left worthy of his talents.

History: She was born a bastard child, her father was a prominent politician in New York and her mother was a cocaine dealer who also had a series of affairs with prominent men for money and also to blackmail them. Her father however was intelligent, and made sure to put distance between them, and also payed her a sum of money monthly to keep her mouth shut. Thus the first few years of her life was alright despite being raised by a single parent who often went out and got drunk. Eventually her father was arrested in a sting operation involving the FBI for fraud, and a series of other crimes.

Jane struggled to make friends and grew jealous of everyone else she knew who she always complained had better lives then her. When she was 12 years old, her mother married a new man who was a prominent businessman with quite the cocaine habit who got her mother to indulge as well.

She was cleared of all charges, but her mother wanted nothing to do with her anymore and left her in foster care. She was forced to fend for herself, and it was there she started experimenting with drugs herself mainly marijuana and prescription pills vowing never to do cocaine or drink like her mother. Despite this she still did well in shcool, graduated, and ended up going to college in Atlanta wanting a fresh start to get away from her parents.

[cunfuzzler]

Name: Julia MacDonald

Age: 28

Religion: Atheist

Sexuality: Homosexual

Occupation: Wildland firefighter.

• Bilingual - Julia speaks English and French, though she is admittedly a bit rusty on the French.
• Survivalism - She is very capable of living off the land for an indefinite amount of time.
• First Aid - She is trained in CPR as well as emergency First Aid.

Faults:

• Drug habit - Julia has a proclivity for drugs, specifically cocaine, marijuana, LSD, and mescaline. At work she sticks to cocaine mostly, but in her free time she goes wild.
• Pacifist - She personally wouldn't call it a fault, but she is not a fighter. Unless it's a fire of course.
• Naive - Julia isn't dumb, but she is pretty naive with an innocent view of the world that doesn't befit her age. Happily oblivious to many things.

Power: Enhanced Condition - Julia is if for a lack of a better word, a 'superhuman' her body and mind suffer almost no fatigue. The resultant effect is superhuman strength, durability and endurance as well as peak human speed and reactions. She is not massively superhuman, she can't throw cars around or anything though she could probably lift them onto two wheels, or toss another human and can operate normally for up to four days straight without any form rest.

Personality: Julia is loud and boisterous in social situations, she is almost never in a bad mood, and always friendly. Sometimes to the point of annoyance for those around her. She is immediately trusting of those she meets, holding a strong belief that all people are inherently good and given the choice will always do the right thing.

History: Julia was born in small town in the Redwood forests of Northern California, the daughter of a pair of self-proclaimed tree-huggers her mother a Park Ranger and her father a chainsaw artist. As a kid she spent most of her time outside of school in the outdoors hiking alone or with whoever she could get to accompany her through the dense forests for hours on end. Her early years weren't filled with tragedy or particular adversity, she wasn't a particularly amazing student just slightly above average if anything. Her childhood was typified by school highlighted by occasional weekend camping trips and summer roadtrips across North America.

Her teenage years weren't much different, though it saw her pickup a weed habit, and learn a bit about herself. She joined the cross-country team her freshman year. It was the first thing she really excelled at, and thanks to her time in the locker room served to really affirm to herself her sexual preference, though she chose to keep it to herself. Her affinity for the sport led her to the State championship four years in a row. And played no small part in her getting getting multiple scholarship offers towards the end of her time in high school.

After graduation she chose to go to the University of Wyoming where she majored in Wildlife Biology, working fast food to make ends meet. It didn't last long though, and after a year and a half her wanderlust got the better of her and she dropped out. She spent awhile literally just wandering from town to town, trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her life. She eventually came to set her mind on fighting forest fires. It was the ideal job spend alot of time outdoors, and since it was seasonal she wouldn't be tied down to any place for too long.

She has had a pretty normal life since, working the fire season for hard and long hours in America's wilderness. And spending her off-season just exploring trying to make the most of her time, visiting new cities, meeting new people and experiencing new things.

[G3njii]

Name: Solomon Haims
Age:27
Gender: Male
Religion: Atheist
Sexuality: Asexual
Occupation: New Coalition Agent
Abilities:
-Multilingual, Fluently speaks English, Afrikaans, and Arabic.
-Military Self-Defense Training
-Military Grade Weapons Training
-Parkour and Rock Climbing
-Fantastic Chef
Faults:
-Loyal to a fault, earn his trust and respect, and he would walk into an obvious trap if he had to.
-He has a deep pit of rage and once its on the surface its hard to stop.
-Due to the distancing of himself, other people tend not to get along with him, and find him often abrasive and direct.
Power: Boundary Control
In order for him to use his power accurately he has to think of the exact proper conceptual boundary to manipulate. Unintended consequences often follow if he doesn't think it out at the time being.
Personality: Sol is a fairly serious man, he has seen a lot and it has led to him distancing himself from other people significantly. Only those whom he grows to respect or trust get to see the more wild, untamed side of Solomon. Solomon has anger and pain built up and sometimes under extreme conditions it can assert its self in occasionally alarming ways. Solomon greatly enjoys his job, now as an agent and previously as a marine, he found great recluse in the middle of the rush, the impending threat, the true feeling of purpose it provided in his life. He loves the adrenaline and this goes hand in hand with both the anger and the desire of the thrill, although when working he attempts to remain as professional as possible.

One very interesting thing about Sol is that he sees things in a very black and white sort of view, good vs evil, right vs wrong, there is no grey area. Oddly enough most people would say he is blind to the fact that he crosses lines, that he pushes himself into that very same grey area.

When it comes to Solomon's past, he remains sealed tight, he refuses to talk about it and can even get explosively even violently angry if prodded over the subject too much.
History: Sol was the only child of a deeply catholic household, his entire early childhood he was raised to fear and love the lord. He had overbearing caring parents, his father from a family well known for its criminal doing, his mother was just quaint baker. They pushed the faith so intensely because of his father's family's history, Sols own uncle was a convicted serial killer, and his grandfather was deep in the drug trade. His family did the best to escape the curse of their name, this went well until the year that the boy was seven. His grandfather was murdered by a competing drug syndicate. His remains were left on Solomon's families doorstep, only to be discovered by Solomon himself. The remains were only left there as a warning to his father not to pursue the business, not they they knew he wouldnt have even thought about it.

From this point on things changed, Sol's father grew bitter and lashed out at the Lord. He denounced the religion and fell into the very drugs that he hated. Sol's mother fought day and night to keep the religion in the house to save her husband, but the harder she fought the angrier the man became and he began to lash out violently at both Sol and his mother, this lasted for years. She had to stop before things had gotten any more severe, but damage was done they were all utterly broken. Once she stopped pushing, the violence waned and Sol's father was more likely to be found in drugged out stupors than anything else. When Sol was seventeen his father died of an overdose, and his mother not long after died peacefully in her sleep. Sol just took off from the world he knew, bided his time until he was eighteen and joined the marines thereafter.

The marines gave Sol a sense of belong and purpose it was the only thing he had, his unit were the only people he had. He lost himself in it, became the fearless marine they wanted him to be. He served several tours in the middle east as well as a couple into the jungles of central Africa. He served loyalty and without hesitation, vowing to himself to always dedicate himself to the fight for the right purpose.

After coming back to the US and officially stepping out of the Marines he was moved into a whole new battle, life in the real world. he found he didn't adjust well. It was quiet, boring, and far to plain for his liking, that was when he began to invest his time into more thrilling past times, he was a fan of parkour for the speed and fluidity of it, and rock climbing for the shear challenge of it.

From there on he went on to become a new agent for Coalition following the sudden appearance of super powered individuals. Then stemming the development of his own power he became the new shiny tool for the agency to use.

[Subject Zero]

Name:
Jason "Jay" Jericho

Age:
20

Gender:
Male

Religion:
None (But open to the possibility)

Sexuality:
Heterosexual

Occupation:
Part time student, part time photographer

Abilities:

• Psychology - Jay studies Psychology in college. He has gained some knowledge in the area though not a full understanding.
• Perceptive - Having a very well trained eye, Jay tends to spot things that others overlook.
• Athletic - He may not be the biggest or the strongest but Jay makes up for it in speed and dexterity.
• Forensics - One of Jay's favourite subjects. He is well versed in the subject.
• Extrovert - Very easy to get along with and always optimistic, Jay never really has trouble getting people to like him.

Faults:

• Impulsive - Jay has a tendency to act first and think later, which can and often does get him into trouble.
• Overly talkative - While a nice guy, Jay rarely shuts up. This can get very annoying to those around him.
• Weak - Jay is not strong. Nor is he a capable fighter.
• Naive - As he tends to take people at face value, Jay is quite often oblivious when others are manipulating him.

Power:
Light Manipulation - Jay can generate and control light for various effects. He can fire it in blasts, he can form it into semi-solid constructs and he can use it to propel himself through the air. It also allows him to travel at incredible speed ("light speed") but he has very little control over this and it tends to be in short bursts in a straight line. (Think Tracer)
When using his abilities, Jay's body changes into a hard light form of shimmering colors, like a human rainbow. The more excited he gets, the brighter he gets. This power is anything but subtle.

Personality:
Jay is quite possibly the friendliest person you will ever meet. Relentlessly happy, he lets very little get to him. He's a happy-go-lucky kind of guy who will genuinely try his best to befriend everyone, even the ones who seem openly hostile. People have often said that Jay likes the sound of his own voice but he just has a lot of thoughts that he likes to convey by talking to anyone who will listen and even some who wont. Though he tries his best to help people, Jay does from time to time overestimate his own intelligence and ability with a slight hint of arrogance.

History:
Born in San Jose, California, Jay was raised in a happy home. The youngest of four kids, he was always treated as the baby of the family but still relentlessly tormented by his two older brothers who liked rough housing a lot more than he did. Jay's father and grandfather were both marines and it was tradition for the boys in the family to join the core. Hell, even Jay's sister had plans to join up. But Jay himself? Not so much. His interests were "nerdier" in comparison. As well as his continual obsession with photographing everything, he liked science in all its forms. He may not have understood it all but he liked it a lot more than all that "Ooh rah!" and chest pounding. He was proud of his family but that life just wasn't for him. Yes, Jason Jericho was by far the blackest sheep the family had ever seen.

By the time he left high school and entered college, Jay's general interest in science had become focused on two areas and he took up classes in forensics and psychology. He may not have been the brightest student in the class but he was determined to learn as much as he could, even though he was often distracted by his own thoughts and the cute girl sitting on the other side of the room. But the cute girl across the room was the least of his distractions after the lights around him started flickering and acting weirdly.

[Kidd]

Cori Woods | 29 | Female

Apperance: Due to her albinism, Cori is almost always given a second glance. Her extremely fair complexion and white hair is stunning to say the least. Vanilla, she may look sickly to those who don't understand why she looks the way she does, but she is very conscientious of her appearance: her makeup adds a healthy color to her face and darkness to her lips and eyelashes. Her haunting red eyes are almost always hidden behind stereotypical Men in Black sunglasses, partly to protect them against the sun, but also because she's self conscious about the strange color. She stands tall for a woman at 5'8", and she has a lean, boyish figure. Underneath the clothing, her body is hard with muscle. As for the clothes themselves, Cori wears enough to conceal a weapon even in civilian life. At work, she wears suits.

Religion: Raised Catholic, doesn't practice

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Occupation: CIA Field Agent, working her way to Senior Agent

Abilities:

- Incredible marksmanship. If it weren't for her goals, she may have taken a more combative approach to her career, but she can already out shoot a majority of her coworkers.

- Hand-to-hand combat. While Cori isn't outstanding in this area compared to other agents, it's a necessary skill within the field. Influence from martial arts is seen in her combative style, but the physical training has benefited her moreso in stamina and endurance rather than strength.

- Leadership skills. Professionally, Cori will not hesitate to be critical of another person or suggest what they should or should not do. She is well spoken and blunt when angered. She is not the most charismatic leader, but she is practical and straight forward and is comfortable telling others what to do.

- Bilingual. English is her first language, French her second out of choice. In her time in the CIA, she has also learned Russian and Mandarin, and she's working on Arabic.

- Amateur automechanic. Cori had always been a bit of a tomboy, and one her leisure hobbies include cars: fixing them, driving them, and buying them. As a result, she has the skills to take care of of them and keep up on maintenance herself.

Faults:

- The albinism affects her eyesight and therefore her marksmanship. She is required by her job to have an eye examination every six months and earlier if she suspects she'll need a change in prescription. She, of course, wears contacts (or glasses on those rare days she's lounging about the house).

-Youth. Cori may be approaching 30, but she has taken on a position that could've been handed onto an agent with more years and experience. However, her adoptive father works a little higher up in the hierarchy, and she has demonstrated her ambition in properly serving her country. She'll work with something to prove.

- Tobacco. A nasty habit, but Cori does smoke. She smokes 2-3 cigarettes a day, but has been trying to cut back, if not quit.

- Cori is not very charismatic. She's stubborn and can be relentless petty when she feels personally attacked. On a personal, one-on-one level she is difficult to get along with, and she strives in professional environments over personal life.

Power: N/A

Personality: Cori's personality is straight forward and one can take a guess just observing her gait: she walks tall and proud, a frown on her lips. As one might judge, she's confident--often arrogant--and lacks a sense of humor. It may be because of her gender and young age in this particular career, but she is conscious about how she presents herself and takes the job seriously. She is rarely caught relaxing or slacking off, and she wants her immediate environment in her control. Despite all this, she is caring to people. She's generous, and can be surprisingly warm at times. There is also underlying insecurity, of course, but she is strong and pushes such thoughts aside in order to reach her goals. Doing excellent in all aspects of life gives her self worth. Beyond her core personality, her interests include cars, guns, and classic country music.

History: Cori Woods comes not from humble beginnings, but from humbled beginnings. She was born into riches, her mother a retired model and her father the CEO of one of the most prestigious interior design companies. So when they died in a tragic accident, the adoption process for Cori was stressful and long: child services and lawyers were eager to place her in a home where she would be cared for, rather than used for the inheritance that would include millions of dollars and rights to the company. After two years of drifting between foster homes while agents worked to find a permanent solution for the young Cori, she was adopted by a loving couple at age ten, one a rising star within the CIA.

Cori grew with dignity and grace, maybe groomed for it by the parents she lost. Though when she reached eighteen, she rejected ownership of the company. Instead, she chose to follow in her adopted father's footsteps and took to law. She started on the police force as she worked through college and eventually the CIA's training program. Like everything else in life, she excelled, and was usually the first of her peers approached when an upper level position needed filled. Rising so high at such a young age, of course, earned disdain from some co-workers (who would become her employees), but she strove to be great anyway.

Enter: the accident. The blackout, the electrical storms...And suddenly, citizens of the world with superpowers were appearing, like something out of those over-hyped superhero movies Cori had zero interest in she'd insist with a nervous laugh... One of the first within the CIA to act two weeks ago, she insisted on learning all that she could about the strange new humanoids. However, all she could find at first was that they were dangerous, and--for her--it meant detaining them to protect innocent civilians. Employees under her would be working to research suitable technology and techniques to handle these super humans and she personally delved into research about where, how, and why they even appeared.

Her research and agents lead her to straight to what she needed: information on an unknown (to her) organization called Coalition. Intrigued, she went about creating a small task force that could retrieve information on them. Unfortunately, it may have been her eagerness to get the bottom of this situation had costed her men their lives. She had been too careless and she had hired a Coalition agent who took the intelligence, as well. Desperate to get it back--without putting more innocent lives at risk--she sought help outside the CIA. Through a web of contacts, Kieran was hired, and Cori will only be meeting him in person for the first time to collect the information.

History: Sally in a similar position as Kieran, as in she was taken from her family and raised by a vastly wealthy women as her personal weapon. Sally though was more fortunate, her fake mother ended up truly caring for Sally. From time to time Sally would be used as a training partner for Kieran, as their fake parents were associates. This caused them to bond, and as they had no one else they fell in love. They would often sneak out, their fake parents knowing this but never letting out, to spend time together. But their relationship was purely emotional never physical. On the day Kieran was sold, Sally was torn apart. All she wanted was to rescue Kieran and was given permission by her mother to rescue him. But by the time Sally arrived in the war torn nation, Kieran had made his way back and...taken care of buisness. They lost touch for a while, and the next time they met accidently on a job, it was different. Kieran was much colder and had gone through many more hardships alone than before. Sally couldnt penetrate his shell, and while she has never given up, it seems like an almost impossible task to get Kieran to take down his guards to feel again. Sally, after her fake mother died of natural causes, chose to not get involved in government. She knew Kieran was doing that, and knew that if she did the same she would follow his emotional path. She instead turned her focus on building her criminal empire.

History:
Cameron grew up in the upper-east side of Manhattan in a high-end home with his sister Willow and their parents. Their mother was a doctor while their father owned a chain of martial art studios which both siblings were trained at. Being completely spoiled, Cameron was used to getting what he wanted and getting away with whatever he wanted. He was a troublemaker who never got caught. He was also always the class clown, constantly after fun. Inevitably, he ended up a bit of a party animal at this time and didn't care much for school. To most everyone's surprise, he was a closet pianist and ended up being good enough to be hired at events and rich enough to live off a job like that.
However, a year ago, he and his sister were told their parents got in a car accident. Both were devastated by the news. His father's martial arts studios were taken over by a relative and they were forced to go live with a widowed aunt in Atlanta, Georgia who also ended up passing away a couple months later, leaving Cameron and his sister the house. He had enough money in their name not to really worry about anything but he still occupied his time with the piano at times while his sister helped out at a nearby martial arts studio.
