Basic Information
Name: Jake Vin of the Valos Lineage
Nickname/Alias/Etc: The Master Illusionist, Mr Fancy
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Height: 5'9
Weight: 132
Status: New Student
Appearance
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Ethnicity: Brazilian
Physical Appearance: Jake is a very attractive boy. He has a slight-feminine feel about his appearance and he does a look a little girly. Nothing that'd classify him as Androgynous. What Jake really looks like is a weakling. He's very skinny, like he does very little to no physical exercise. The kind of person that can't lift weights. Sometimes people get the nerd-vibe from him too. Jake is quite slim, very skinny, with little to no visible muscles or body-fat on him. Which is good since he doesn't want to be fat. His shoulders are a little wide, though. Jake is an inch under the average height (5'9), and is quite lightweight (132 lb). Jake is Brazilian, with his skin being a light-brown color. It's obvious that he's foreign from his skin color and facial features. His skin has a few scars, moles, zits and various other imperfections, but aren't that noticeable. Other than a facial scar he has on his left cheek. It's a thin, red slashing scar that starts under his eye and goes down his cheek. It's from a bet. A good one. Jake has a rectangle shaped head. Jake's facial features are obviously foreign, and squared. Jake has a large, yet bulky, chin. With a sharp, but small, jawline. His eyes are medium sized, are a not-too-notable brown color, and usually have a bored look in them. Jake's ears are very small, point inwards, and are a little pointy at the tip. One thing people will always notice about Jake is that he's well groomed, and has great hygiene. Keeping himself clean at all times, everything really. Jake's hair is a black color, ear-length, and is straight. He keeps it in a neatly slicked back style. Jake has a tattoo on his body, which is also because of a bet. It's a black-ink tattoo that says MADE IN HEAVEN. It's located on his shoulder.
Attire: Because of how Jake dresses, it makes it obvious that he's rich. He constantly wears a fancy, flashy attire. Often getting all dressed up for the wrong occasion. Sometimes people get the impression that he's trying too hard, or over compensating for something. Jake wears suits, overcoats, anything as long as it's expensive. Though, he's seen wearing a suit fairly often. On the island, it's pretty chilly. So he tends to wear a coat. Sometimes he'll keep his coat slung over his shoulders - With his arms not in the sleeve, and his sleeves are flapping around. Usually hanging out of his coat/suit is the chain of his treasured pocket-watch. This pocket-watch is golden, and has an intricate, well-made, design. It's very important to him. If he loses it, he'll absolutely lose his sh*t. Jake needs glasses to see. He wears large, wide, thin-framed, oval-shaped glasses.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: A very calm and charismatic teen. For his age, Jake is quite mature and logical. Rarely acting childish unless pushed to it, and always uses his head. He speaks to everyone with kindness, politeness, and respect. He can come off as over-polite, however. Jake is quite moral, and follows the rules. He'll rarely consider doing anything that'd betray this. While he tries his best to be nice; Jake can sometimes come off as arrogant, or egotistical. He doesn't do it on purpose, though, and it only happens sometimes. Plus, he has a habit of overstepping boundaries and going too far - Right when he has the best of intentions. He'll feel a bit of remorse, and try his best not to do it again. Jake can be quite untrusting of some people. Being quite prejudice when it comes to them. He has a fear of being taken advantage of and used as a tool - Since that's something that he really dislikes. So he's a little paranoid when it comes to some people, and it can be more detrimental than helpful. He's a bit endearing, he has to put of with plenty of things that irritate him or he disapproves of. He's not the type to b*tch about it, though, he'll suck it up. That's another thing, he can lack back-bone sometimes. He'll take things that he should stand up for. Jake likes to be the voice of reason whenever in a group. Trying his best to be the one that talks the group out of something rash or stupid. Sometimes he's listened to, other times have been naught. Thus he's just the kind of person who'd break up fights and heated situations, doing whatever it takes to accomplish this goal. While Jake isn't a violent person, if there was no other way, he'll have no problem with resorting to it. Jake can be quite clever when it comes to it. Stuff like finding loop-holes in deals, figuring out things fast, and guessing motives quite well. He mostly likes to find himself spot-on, but he can make mistakes. On top of that, he's quite adept at lying and tricking people. Jake is Bisexual.
Hobbies/Interests: Jake is interested in the oriental. Not just women, he likes Asian food, decorations, and etc. Jake is also a fan of instruments, and likes to hang around people who know how to play them. Jake also likes antiques.
Skills/Talents: A few. Jake has an interest in cooking, thus he's spent a bit of his free-time practicing, and trying to perfect the art. Over time, he's become a very good cook and is acquainted with many cooking terms. Capable of making some pretty good meals. Jake knows how to play the piano quite well. He's no Ray-Charles, but damn he'll be if he practices. He also knows a bit about computers, and can put one together, and take one apart if he was given the opportunity. Jake is also fairly good at social skills, and being a peace maker. Capable of easily talking people down. In addition, Jake is a speaker of Portuguese, Chinese and Spanish. He isn't a master at Chinese, nor Spanish, but he's fluent in Portuguese, he speaks it like it's his first language.
Prized Possession: Jake's pocket-watch.

Abilities
Power Class: Cerebral 6
Power: Pseudo-Existent Illusions. Jake is the Master-Illusionist. Jake has the power to craft realistic and complex illusions just by thinking about it. He can craft just about anything his mind and imagination can produce through his illusions. These illusions aren't just your average trick of the mind, or hologram, they can be seen, felt, smelt, tasted and heard. They manifest in reality, instead of the mind. In order words, they're real as anything else. Mental defenses will not allow anyone to see through them, and they will appear in technology (Such as cameras). If Jake puts his mind to it, to say the least, they are very hard to tell from reality, and will require advanced examination to even tell if it's real or not. There are a few ways to destroy his illusions, otherwise only Jake can dispell them. Jake can do quite a bit with his illusions, and he's very adept with his ability. Now, Jake can make his illusions intangible or solid, with several levels of transparency. With his solid illusions having the same durability as what they're replicating. An illusory table would break under the same pressure a real one would. What his illusions cannot do is directly interact with the real world, nor can they transfer force. An illusion punching someone would have zero effect on them. Jake can freely apply any of the five senses to his illusions. He has absolute freedom here, so he could make an illusory rock smell like the sewer, taste like ice-cream, feel like leather, and sound like a cat meowing. Crazy stuff like that. Jake can use his illusions to turn anything invisible - Usually himself.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: There are several ways to see through his illusions - Alternatively destroy them. Energy is the opposition to his illusion. They fade away the moment energy comes in contact with it. It can be any kind of energy, so most Meta-humans can destroy his illusions with ease. Though energy has to be of high intensity to destroy his illusions. His ability is focus-based, break his focus, even for a second, and all the illusions will disappear. While Jake has a high level of skill with his illusions, it takes a effort with the larger, more complex illusions. Imbuing his illusions with multiple senses can be quite a task. Making a large amount of illusions can also strain him. To the point of unconsciousness. He will get better at this as the RP goes along. No matter what Jake creates, his illusions cannot cause people harm, nor can they directly interact with the real world. His power has a direct effect on Jake's mentality. With a power like his, how can he be entirely sure that everything is real? He sometimes gets the feeling that some things aren't real, and just illusions. Sometimes without a bit of reassurance, he can get a little erratic when it comes to it. Which is why he has his pocket-watch. It's like a Totem Pole from Inception. If he has it, and it's working, then all is well. Without his pocket-watch... Well...
Other: Despite near-mastering his ability, Jake was sent to the Academy to accompany his sister, Gabriela, to make sure that she doesn't do anything stupid (Details in her sheet).
Basic Information
Name: Gabriela Mya of the Valos Lineage
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Gabe, The Laser Show, The Fire
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 5'5
Weight: 142
Status: New Student
Appearance
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Ethnicity: Brazilian
Physical Appearance: A very rough and aggressive looking girl. Gabe always looks like the type of girl who'd fight at the drop of a hat - And she is. She's always giving people death glares, and walking around with her fists balled up. When she walks, she empathizes her power, and walks like she owns the place. To say the least, Gabe fits the tough-girl cliche well. She does have a slightly-tomboy vibe when some look at her. Gabe is quite muscular for a girl, having well toned limbs and nice abs. She's almost at body-builder levels. Mostly because she wants to look good to impress the ladies, so she tries her damn near hardest to look like she's got the best body. And boy does it show. Gabe stands an inch (5'5) under the average female height, but is, ironically, heavier than her twin brother, Jake. Because she has more in terms of muscle mass, therefore she's the heavier. Gabe doesn't have that perfect female figure, she has more of a masculine frame than anything. Gabe is Brazilian like the rest of the Valos. Her skin is a dark-brown color, and obviously makes her look foreign. However, she has some horrible scarring due to some power misfires. There are thick, fleshy burn scars on the right side of her body. On her chest, breast, shoulder, right side of her abdominal, her hip, and plenty on her right arm, she has a connected fleshy mass of burns. These scars are horrible - But, fortunately, they are well concealed under her clothing. Gabe's hands are also covered in plenty of burn scars, which is why she keeps gloves on most of the time. One of the first things people notice about Gabe is that she's missing an eye. Her left eye is covered by a leather eye-patch with a bright-red heart on it. Underneath this eye-patch, it's burnt shut. Yeah, in general, Gabe looks like a burn victim.
Gabe does make up for these horrible imperfections with her overwhelming good looks. Gabriela has pointy and well defined facial features, much her brother. She does look a lot like her brother. She's quite beautiful, in the rough way - Though, the burns and one eye does take away from her looks. Gabe has a rectangle shaped head. Her chin is medium-sized, yet bulky, she has a chin-cleft if one is observant enough. Gabe has some rather pretty eyes - No, eye - with a brown color. Usually she's got them narrow, throwing hostile glares at people. Her nose is small, and angular, it's tip is pointed, and her nostrils are triangle-shaped. Her lips are thick and full with quite the width, like a woman should be. Gabe's ears are a bit large, and point inwards in a flat sort of way - With the ears being very round. Her forehead is very large and round. Gabe's hair is straight and a brown color. Gabe keeps her hair in a medium-length pony-tail on the back of her head.
Attire: Gabe dresses heavily enough to cover up her burn scars from sight, but light enough so that she doesn't burn her clothes off once a fight starts. Or else she'd pretty much dress up in the most revealing outfits. Gabe usually has a tough-girl style. Wearing clothing that'd make her look like a bad-ass. Gloves, Sun-glasses, belts with large flashy buckles, that stuff. Gabe tends to wear a bad-ass leather long-coat, because that does a good job. That is when she's out. In private Gabe is almost half-naked all the time, and sometimes even fully naked. Gabe keeps brass-knuckles in her pockets at all times in case of a fight.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: In terms of personality, most of the time Gabe emanates an aura of "f*ck off." To say the least, Gabe isn't exactly a ray of sunshine. She's quite irritable and easy to annoy, and it's super easy to do either (She'll find a reason in the slightest thing). Her body language tends to show it, as she either frowns, growls or finds something to distract herself with, the very second it starts. She tends to throw out a few comments at the person, usually snarky taunts, less-than-subtle nods, etc. Generally hints that said person is irritating her. When she's had enough, she's not afraid to tell the person to go "be an annoying cunt" elsewhere. Whether it's through words, or action. There are few people she respects, and she begrudgingly says to herself that they're "kinda not a cunt." Generally Gabe is a very aggressive, hot-blooded, girl, that's very quick to anger. Who's definitely not afraid to escalate things to violence immediately. Never afraid to fight anyone, regardless of strength and abilities. Though, this attitude has gotten her into plenty of trouble in the past. Usually she's talked down by Jake before she can even do anything. She's also never afraid to taunt people, and throw sarcastic comments at them. Gabe speaks with a gruff, dismissive tone, slightly-hostile, to most people. However, around Jake, and pretty girls, she's much nicer and less aggressive. Playfully throwing in jokes and comments. Gabe is a lesbian, and prefers pretty girls that are the complete opposite of herself in terms of appearance. Gabe lacks the concept of subtly, and is brutally honest as anyone can get. She'll never sugar-coat anything, and tell things as they are. She's never afraid to let people know that she doesn't like them, indirectly or directly. Except when it's detrimental to herself.
Gabe also likes inflicting d*ck-related injuries to her enemies.
Hobbies/Interests: Gabe likes sports, the kind with fighting. Like boxing, and MMA fighting. She also likes small animals, the snow/cold, music, art, and plenty of other things that aren't purely filler for this section!
Skills/Talents: Gabe is a capable fighter. She's been trained in quite a few kinds of martial arts. Mostly her main thing is karate, but she has done plenty of Kick Boxing and regular boxing. She also has plenty of experience to back that up. Gabe has played plenty of soccer in the past. She was quite good at it, too. Thus she's agile and quick on her feet. Despite her gruff look, Gabe is also good at a few girly skills. Such as knitting. She's a very good knitter - She'll knit you the world's greatest sweater. She keeps a ball of yarn on her at all times - Usually when she's bored she'll start knitting something. Gabe also knows a little bit about art. She can draw with a pencil... It's basic at the moment, but she'll get better. Gabe is fluent in Portuguese.

Abilities
Power Class: Energy 7
Power: Laser Manipulation. Gabe the living laser show. She is an immensely powerful Energy-type Meta-human capable of widespread destruction. Gabe constantly absorbs the light from around her, and energy from the cosmos above her (Stars, the Sun, etc) and converts it into a laser light. She can fire off laser beams of any size, power, or intensity, and can fire them from anywhere on her body, in a variety of forms. These laser beams are eye-searingly bright and travel at the speed of light - Making them impossible to dodge once they've been fired. These lasers come in three varieties: Heat (Up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit), Solid/Concussive (Hard as Titanium), and just plain old light - She can learn some other variations. In addition, Gabe is also capable of creating constructs out of her lasers, virtually anything. Swords, whips, etc, and can create barriers to block foes and attacks. However, Gabe isn't skilled in making constructs, and these constructs have to be very small for her to maintain their shape. These lasers are heavily connected to Gabe's emotions, anger and rage bring out the strongest, most unstable lasers, lasers that go beyond the established perimeters and can be much hotter than the limit - But it's a double edged sword. They're harder to control, aim, and other strange things will occur, sometimes they won't stop firing. A calm emotion allows her to easily control her lasers. To supplement her ability; Gabe has a heightened resistance to the temperature, whether it's hot or cold. She'd shrug off what'd burn most people. However, this isn't a complete resistance. Her resistance to the temperatures is better down on the deeper layers of her flesh and bones. Which means her internal organs are protected from getting fried/frozen, but her skin and the outer layers of her body is susceptible to the thermal damage, hence, her scars. If a heat or cold is too much; then it'd damage her. Also, if she shoots too many lasers, then she'd lose her resistance and be as susceptible to damage as anyone else. Gabe can learn how to curb/bend her lasers, to allow her to hit her opponents behind cover. Gabe also has one laser element that she can learn: Freezing lasers. It is also possible for Gabe to learn how to access a limited form of light-manipulation basically. To allow her to create holograms using her lasers and other goodies.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: The main counter to Gabe's ability are mirrors and reflective surfaces. Either can bounce her lasers away from the intended target, and back at her. Gabe's worse weakness is the anger that draws out the unstable lasers. They can become too unpredictable to use effectively, and at worse can cause Gabe some serious harm. Which is how she got those burns. Gabe's power requires restraint and carefulness, or unnecessary destruction, and friendly fire may occur. Since her lasers are bright, with every use she blinds herself and anyone around her. With excessive use of her powers they will overheat. With each laser that Gabe fires, her body comes that much closer to over heating. There's a few things that can affect this. Rate of use, intensity, and how many laser's she's manifesting. Her emotion also have a factor in this, as unstable lasers make her overheat much faster. If Gabe does overheat, her body turns off her power for awhile. Usually the cool down is a few hours. Any future attempts at using her ability during this period will push back the cool down time greatly. As her lasers are light/heat/cosmic based, metas with abilities relating to those elements can interfere with her ability. Gabe's clothes also aren't fire proof, which means she could be nude if she doesn't careful. Which is something she likes to avoid, and why she dresses lightly. Gabe's aim is affected by the fact that she has one eye, and lacks depth perception and peripheral in her eye.
Other: Forced to go to Academy 218 because in a fit of rage, she caused wanton destruction. She was given an ultimatum; learn to control herself, and her powers, or not have a home to come back to.

In order words, they're real as anything else. Mental defenses will not allow anyone to see through them, and they will appear in technology (Such as cameras). If Jake puts his mind to it, to say the least, they are very hard to tell from reality, and will require advanced examination to even tell if it's real or not. There are a few ways to destroy his illusions, otherwise only Jake can dispell them. Jake can do quite a bit with his illusions, and he's very adept with his ability. Now, Jake can make his illusions intangible or solid, with several levels of transparency. With his solid illusions having the same durability as what they're replicating. An illusory table would break under the same pressure a real one would. What his illusions cannot do is directly interact with the real world, nor can they transfer force. An illusion punching someone would have zero effect on them. Jake can freely apply any of the five senses to his illusions. He has absolute freedom here, so he could make an illusory rock smell like the sewer, taste like ice-cream, feel like leather, and sound like a cat meowing. Crazy stuff like that. Jake can use his illusions to turn anything invisible - Usually himself.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: There are several ways to see through his illusions - Alternatively destroy them. Energy is the opposition to his illusion. They fade away the moment energy comes in contact with it. It can be any kind of energy, so most Meta-humans can destroy his illusions with ease. Though energy has to be of high intensity to destroy his illusions. His ability is focus-based, break his focus, even for a second, and all the illusions will disappear. While Jake has a high level of skill with his illusions, it takes a effort with the larger, more complex illusions. Imbuing his illusions with multiple senses can be quite a task. Making a large amount of illusions can also strain him. To the point of unconsciousness. He will get better at this as the RP goes along. No matter what Jake creates, his illusions cannot cause people harm, nor can they directly interact with the real world. His power has a direct effect on Jake's mentality. With a power like his, how can he be entirely sure that everything is real? He sometimes gets the feeling that some things aren't real, and just illusions. Sometimes without a bit of reassurance, he can get a little erratic when it comes to it. Which is why he has his pocket-watch. It's like a Totem Pole from Inception. If he has it, and it's working, then all is well. Without his pocket-watch... Well...
Other: Despite near-mastering his ability, Jake was sent to the Academy to accompany his sister, Gabriela, to make sure that she doesn't do anything stupid (Details in her sheet).
Basic Information
Name: Gabriela Mya of the Valos Lineage
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Gabe, The Laser Show, The Fire
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 5'5
Weight: 142
Status: New Student
Appearance
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Ethnicity: Brazilian
Physical Appearance: A very rough and aggressive looking girl. Gabe always looks like the type of girl who'd fight at the drop of a hat - And she is. She's always giving people death glares, and walking around with her fists balled up. When she walks, she empathizes her power, and walks like she owns the place. To say the least, Gabe fits the tough-girl cliche well. She does have a slightly-tomboy vibe when some look at her. Gabe is quite muscular for a girl, having well toned limbs and nice abs. She's almost at body-builder levels. Mostly because she wants to look good to impress the ladies, so she tries her damn near hardest to look like she's got the best body. And boy does it show. Gabe stands an inch (5'5) under the average female height, but is, ironically, heavier than her twin brother, Jake. Because she has more in terms of muscle mass, therefore she's the heavier. Gabe doesn't have that perfect female figure, she has more of a masculine frame than anything. Gabe is Brazilian like the rest of the Valos. Her skin is a dark-brown color, and obviously makes her look foreign. However, she has some horrible scarring due to some power misfires. There are thick, fleshy burn scars on the right side of her body. On her chest, breast, shoulder, right side of her abdominal, her hip, and plenty on her right arm, she has a connected fleshy mass of burns. These scars are horrible - But, fortunately, they are well concealed under her clothing. Gabe's hands are also covered in plenty of burn scars, which is why she keeps gloves on most of the time. One of the first things people notice about Gabe is that she's missing an eye. Her left eye is covered by a leather eye-patch with a bright-red heart on it. Underneath this eye-patch, it's burnt shut. Yeah, in general, Gabe looks like a burn victim.
Gabe does make up for these horrible imperfections with her overwhelming good looks. Gabriela has pointy and well defined facial features, much her brother. She does look a lot like her brother. She's quite beautiful, in the rough way - Though, the burns and one eye does take away from her looks. Gabe has a rectangle shaped head. Her chin is medium-sized, yet bulky, she has a chin-cleft if one is observant enough. Gabe has some rather pretty eyes - No, eye - with a brown color. Usually she's got them narrow, throwing hostile glares at people. Her nose is small, and angular, it's tip is pointed, and her nostrils are triangle-shaped. Her lips are thick and full with quite the width, like a woman should be. Gabe's ears are a bit large, and point inwards in a flat sort of way - With the ears being very round. Her forehead is very large and round. Gabe's hair is straight and a brown color. Gabe keeps her hair in a medium-length pony-tail on the back of her head.
Attire: Gabe dresses heavily enough to cover up her burn scars from sight, but light enough so that she doesn't burn her clothes off once a fight starts. Or else she'd pretty much dress up in the most revealing outfits. Gabe usually has a tough-girl style. Wearing clothing that'd make her look like a bad-ass. Gloves, Sun-glasses, belts with large flashy buckles, that stuff. Gabe tends to wear a bad-ass leather long-coat, because that does a good job. That is when she's out. In private Gabe is almost half-naked all the time, and sometimes even fully naked. Gabe keeps brass-knuckles in her pockets at all times in case of a fight.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: In terms of personality, most of the time Gabe emanates an aura of "f*ck off." To say the least, Gabe isn't exactly a ray of sunshine. She's quite irritable and easy to annoy, and it's super easy to do either (She'll find a reason in the slightest thing). Her body language tends to show it, as she either frowns, growls or finds something to distract herself with, the very second it starts. She tends to throw out a few comments at the person, usually snarky taunts, less-than-subtle nods, etc. Generally hints that said person is irritating her. When she's had enough, she's not afraid to tell the person to go "be an annoying cunt" elsewhere. Whether it's through words, or action. There are few people she respects, and she begrudgingly says to herself that they're "kinda not a cunt." Generally Gabe is a very aggressive, hot-blooded, girl, that's very quick to anger. Who's definitely not afraid to escalate things to violence immediately. Never afraid to fight anyone, regardless of strength and abilities. Though, this attitude has gotten her into plenty of trouble in the past. Usually she's talked down by Jake before she can even do anything. She's also never afraid to taunt people, and throw sarcastic comments at them. Gabe speaks with a gruff, dismissive tone, slightly-hostile, to most people. However, around Jake, and pretty girls, she's much nicer and less aggressive. Playfully throwing in jokes and comments. Gabe is a lesbian, and prefers pretty girls that are the complete opposite of herself in terms of appearance. Gabe lacks the concept of subtly, and is brutally honest as anyone can get. She'll never sugar-coat anything, and tell things as they are. She's never afraid to let people know that she doesn't like them, indirectly or directly. Except when it's detrimental to herself.
Gabe also likes inflicting d*ck-related injuries to her enemies.
Hobbies/Interests: Gabe likes sports, the kind with fighting. Like boxing, and MMA fighting. She also likes small animals, the snow/cold, music, art, and plenty of other things that aren't purely filler for this section!
Skills/Talents: Gabe is a capable fighter. She's been trained in quite a few kinds of martial arts. Mostly her main thing is karate, but she has done plenty of Kick Boxing and regular boxing. She also has plenty of experience to back that up. Gabe has played plenty of soccer in the past. She was quite good at it, too. Thus she's agile and quick on her feet. Despite her gruff look, Gabe is also good at a few girly skills. Such as knitting. She's a very good knitter - She'll knit you the world's greatest sweater. She keeps a ball of yarn on her at all times - Usually when she's bored she'll start knitting something. Gabe also knows a little bit about art. She can draw with a pencil... It's basic at the moment, but she'll get better. Gabe is fluent in Portuguese.

Abilities
Power Class: Energy 7
Power: Laser Manipulation. Gabe the living laser show. She is an immensely powerful Energy-type Meta-human capable of widespread destruction. Gabe constantly absorbs the light from around her, and energy from the cosmos above her (Stars, the Sun, etc) and converts it into a laser light. She can fire off laser beams of any size, power, or intensity, and can fire them from anywhere on her body, in a variety of forms. These laser beams are eye-searingly bright and travel at the speed of light - Making them impossible to dodge once they've been fired. These lasers come in three varieties: Heat (Up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit), Solid/Concussive (Hard as Titanium), and just plain old light - She can learn some other variations. In addition, Gabe is also capable of creating constructs out of her lasers, virtually anything. Swords, whips, etc, and can create barriers to block foes and attacks. However, Gabe isn't skilled in making constructs, and these constructs have to be very small for her to maintain their shape. These lasers are heavily connected to Gabe's emotions, anger and rage bring out the strongest, most unstable lasers, lasers that go beyond the established perimeters and can be much hotter than the limit - But it's a double edged sword. They're harder to control, aim, and other strange things will occur, sometimes they won't stop firing. A calm emotion allows her to easily control her lasers. To supplement her ability; Gabe has a heightened resistance to the temperature, whether it's hot or cold. She'd shrug off what'd burn most people. However, this isn't a complete resistance. Her resistance to the temperatures is better down on the deeper layers of her flesh and bones. Which means her internal organs are protected from getting fried/frozen, but her skin and the outer layers of her body is susceptible to the thermal damage, hence, her scars. If a heat or cold is too much; then it'd damage her. Also, if she shoots too many lasers, then she'd lose her resistance and be as susceptible to damage as anyone else. Gabe can learn how to curb/bend her lasers, to allow her to hit her opponents behind cover. Gabe also has one laser element that she can learn: Freezing lasers. It is also possible for Gabe to learn how to access a limited form of light-manipulation basically. To allow her to create holograms using her lasers and other goodies.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: The main counter to Gabe's ability are mirrors and reflective surfaces. Either can bounce her lasers away from the intended target, and back at her. Gabe's worse weakness is the anger that draws out the unstable lasers. They can become too unpredictable to use effectively, and at worse can cause Gabe some serious harm. Which is how she got those burns. Gabe's power requires restraint and carefulness, or unnecessary destruction, and friendly fire may occur. Since her lasers are bright, with every use she blinds herself and anyone around her. With excessive use of her powers they will overheat. With each laser that Gabe fires, her body comes that much closer to over heating. There's a few things that can affect this. Rate of use, intensity, and how many laser's she's manifesting. Her emotion also have a factor in this, as unstable lasers make her overheat much faster. If Gabe does overheat, her body turns off her power for awhile. Usually the cool down is a few hours. Any future attempts at using her ability during this period will push back the cool down time greatly. As her lasers are light/heat/cosmic based, metas with abilities relating to those elements can interfere with her ability. Gabe's clothes also aren't fire proof, which means she could be nude if she doesn't careful. Which is something she likes to avoid, and why she dresses lightly. Gabe's aim is affected by the fact that she has one eye, and lacks depth perception and peripheral in her eye.
Other: Forced to go to Academy 218 because in a fit of rage, she caused wanton destruction. She was given an ultimatum; learn to control herself, and her powers, or not have a home to come back to.

Name: Jaska Din of the Valos Lineage
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Little Dragon, The Imp, The Fiend, The Predator
Gender: Male
Age: 10
Height: 4'7
Weight: 74
Status: New Student
Appearance
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Golden
Ethnicity: Japanese & Brazilian
Physical Appearance: Jaska is a youthful young boy, with a few features that makes him stand out among other children. Jaska is very thin, and doesn't seem to have a pound of muscle on him, nor body fat. He's rather unimposing because of that regard. Jaska is average heighted (4'8), and is rather lightweight (74). Jaska has rather long limbs, with his legs making up a good amount of his height, and his arms just as long. Because of his mixed heritage (He's half Brazilian, and half Japanese) Jaska has light yellow-brown skin. His skin is generally clear, except for quite a few scars. From a load of accidents, his skin has plenty of scars, except well concealed by his outfit. Jaska has four slashing scar starting from the right side of his chest, going down to his waist, from a previous incident. As a result of his mutations, Jaska has a handful of bestial mutations, that make him look like a hellish monster. Jaska has massive bat-like wings with a fourteen-foot wingspan when outstretched. That allows him to fly, since they have immense wing-strength. These wings can be folded and compacted. Jaska's finger-tips are long, razor-sharp, jagged claws, that are also hooked slightly. Jaska also has these claws on his feet, which is why he doesn't wear any shoes. He has a six and a half foot long, tiny, thin prehensile tail, with a tiny blade at the very end. When Jaska opens his mouth, a hellish mouth of shark-like teeth are revealed, plus, he has a long, reptile-like tongue - It doesn't help that Jaska has a large, wide mouth.
Other than that, Jaska looks somewhat normal. Jaska has a small, round-shaped head, with generally rounded facial features. He doesn't exactly have super-model level handsomeness. He's rather plain in the facial feature department, not handsome, not ugly. Jaska has full, round cheeks, that are rather pronounced. Jaska has a large, hooked nose, that has very large nostrils and a thick nose bridge. He has small, thin, near girly lips. His mouth is very wide, and opens to reveal that aforementioned mouth of teeth. Jaska has very pointed ears like an animal. Another part of his mutation. His ears are narrow, but large. Jaska has small, narrow slanted eyes, that have an unnatural golden iris. These irises seemingly reflects light off them when a light is shined onto them. Jaska has very black hair, that's straight and well kept. It is kept in a shaggy style, with strands of hair brushed aside. His hair is ear-length.
Attire: For his age, Jaska dresses quite fancily - Well no. Every tries to make him dress fancy, only to fail when he tears up his clothes. He's often seen wearing a old and tattered suit made for him ages ago. Though it's long lost that former glory once Jaska started wearing it for awhile. Jaska has a wide selection of clothes with holes in the back for him to put his wings through. Though, sometimes he wears regular clothes and keeps his wings compact. Jaska is never seen wearing shoes of any sorts.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Jaska is a very energetic young boy that rarely seems to hold still. Sometimes he's there. Then he's over there. He's quite easy to distract - Though, if something really has his attention, then he'll rarely divert focus from it. When excited he speaks quickly, and rarely gives thought to his words. Though when calm he speaks like this time. Jaska is nice to everyone, however, sometimes he can be rude. Or unwittingly blunt. Though, there are a few people that he regards as mean people and stays away from. Jaska isn't the type to fight, just jump in his face and say boo and he'll be running. Which means he's quite easy to intimidate. He's utterly oblivious to the complexities of life and morality - Because screw that. He just wants to have some fun. Which goes without saying; he's quite oblivious to a few things. Which can be taken advantage of if someone knows what. Sometimes Jaska is utterly unaware of what's right and wrong. Not in the sociopathic way at all. He'll break something and utterly be oblivious to what he did was wrong. Stuff like that. Because of his power Jaska acts like a predator, in social situations and out. He stalks people like prey before approaching. Sometimes he's even often seen hunting actual prey. Even gruesomely killing it and devouring it - In front of people. It's all natural to him so he doesn't really think it's a taboo to do so.
Meh. Haven't really played as a character this young before. Cut me a break.
Hobbies/Interests: Jaska likes playing video games, exploring, going out and having fun, meeting and talking to people, observing things, high up places.
Skills/Talents: I personally think it'd be stretching it to give a ten year any major skills, so l'll Jaska some realistic skills. Jaska is an expert explorer, and climber, often finding himself in places he shouldn't be.
Prized Possession: Jaska's prized possession pretty much changes weekly; right now it's his gold fish that he keeps in his room.

Abilities
Power Class: Animal 4-10, Super-System 4-10, Elemental 6-10, & Energy 2-5.
Power: Jaska has two different forms.
Apex Predator. Jaska is a predator, plain and simple. The king of the beasts. His power has altered his body to give him all he needs to hunt even the strongest of creatures. The first ability of note is a passive one; the predator instinct. It's an instinctive trait that makes him the master of hunting and tracking - As long as he has prey. It gives him information that allows him to predict what the prey will do next, where he is going, and how to trap/catch them. Along with a secondary instinct that tells him if he's being hunted, watched, etc. This isn't the last of his abilities - He has a wide variety of other traits his power has gifted him with. Jaska has dense, razor-sharp claws, enhanced strength (He can lift up to two times his weight), razor sharp teeth, wings that allow flight, a prehensile tail, enhanced speed and agility, enhanced senses (hearing, sight/night-vision, and smell), minor regeneration, and camouflage (Along with the ability to change his skin color to anything within the color spectrum).
Inner Beast. Whenever Jaska hears the phrase "Little Devil" (Or a similar variation; there are more trigger phrases), or is seriously injured, it will trigger Jaska's transformation into a monster form. This form makes Jaska gradually grow to immense size, and gives him monstrous strength that'll make him a handful for most. However, the transformation is far from instant. He gradually transforms over time, and the more he transforms, the more powerful he'll get - Combat accelerates the transformation. Transformed; Jaska will have enhanced strength, enhanced regeneration, greater durability (Armored scales & Reinforced bones), and superior senses. All proportionate to how far he is into a transformation. Though he'll still have all of his Apex Predator abilities. Jaska will retain all traits of his Fire-Heart (Read below), and it will strengthen depending on how far he is on his transformation. His flames will get hotter and more destructive, creating one hell of a threat. When he enters this form, he'll revert to primal mental state, where he's controlled purely by impulse and instinctive, and driven by a genocidal rage. He'll throw reason and intelligence out of the window, and will basically turn into a violent and uncontrollable animal. Jaska will have no "friend or foe" mechanics and will try to kill just about everyone. In this state, he'll be immune to mind abilities (telepathy, and etc). Since there's barely any mind to access. After awhile Jaska will revert back to his normal form.
The abilities below apply over both forms:
Fire Heart. Jaska possesses the Fire-heart. Similar to Gabe's previous power, Jaska has what is more-or-less, a tiny star that resides in his chest, which constantly generates immense amounts of heat. This naturally brings his body up a few notches. Fortunately, this gives him a complete immunity to all things heat, or else he would have died ages ago. The heat also assists with healing in a way, killing bacteria, diseases and other nasty things. A passive effect of this ability is that any fires get hotter, and more intense by his mere presence. Now the meat of this ability is his pryomancery. A form of which that is naturally a few notches above the regular variety. The flames he creates are hotter, brighter, and more intense than any natural fire. Even the smallest amount can make things uncomfortable. He can also control fire that was externally created, and bring it to the heat and intensity of the flames he generates. Naturally, he can do a few fire tricks such as fire-ball, fire-storms, and other fire-related carnage. He can also control heat to an extent, he can generate heat and manipulate the heat that his fire-heart naturally gives off.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Jaska is primarily driven by his predator urges and instincts. They can be quite hard to resist at times, and may overwrite his other wants and needs. Jaska must satisfy this urge whenever possible, or else he'll get super distracted, and the urge will get greater and greater until it overwhelms him - Forcing him to just kill something. Which can include a human being if his willpower isn't enough. The predatory instinct also seeps into his thoughts. Intrusively making him think about how he can hurt people, and sometimes it's hard to resist these thoughts. Jaska also has a risk of devolving into a bestial-mindset, especially under high levels of stress/strain, scared, or when threatened. Effectively turning himself into the vicious animal he keeps locked up. Using his pryomancery makes this much worse, and sensing blood may overwhelm him. Jaska is very young and weak, mentally and physically outclassed by many of the older, more experienced, members of the cast in the mental and physical arena. He doesn't exactly have the conscious will to kill and harm people. He can be easily intimidated by mostly anyone and will just flee from most threats of violence. He can also easily be tricked or manipulated by someone older. That out of the way, while in control of himself he's quite frail. Attacks can easily damage him, and while he can regenerate, he can't regenerate well enough to make a difference in fights. There is also a chance that he may heal a broken limb incorrectly if it hasn't been braced well, which will require the same limb to be broken again so he can heal it correctly. Jaska's super senses can be taken advantage of. They can be damaged if someone knows to take advantage of them. Bright, and flashing lights can blind him. Strong smells, and foul odors, can overload his sense of smell, and loud sounds can damage his hearing. He can go deaf if his hearing is damaged enough. His fingers being claws makes it difficult for him to hold objects and other things. Jaska's resistance to diseases and toxins also extends to medicine, which means that medicine won't help him should he require it. Jaska's camouflage requires him to go very slowly to allow his body to keep up, if he goes too fast he'll be visible until he stops. Then there's the usual weaknesses that turning invisible have (He can be heard/smelled, detected by an extra-sense, etc).
Like you may have expected; Jaska can't control his transformations, nor can he control himself. Everyone, and everything, is a target once he transforms, and his main goal is to cause as much destruction as possible. He also really, really, really doesn't like transforming at all. Because it's utter hell. He sees and know everything he does when he transforms, and experiences the horror to the very last second. It causes him great emotional and mental strain, and because of it, he has some mental scars. Thus saying that he really doesn't like talking about it is an understatement. Jaska's beast form is the weakest when he first transforms. So the best time to fight him is when he first transforms. Jaska's armoring is from head-to-toe, however, his joints are exposed so he'd retain some form of mobility. The more Jaska transforms, the bigger and slower he'll get. The only ways to get him out of beast mode is to defeat him, restrain him, wait until he tires himself out, or say the counter phrase. Once he's out of the form, he'll fall into a short coma and will be physically and emotionally exhausted. If the phrase "Rest little angel" is said by a female, in a soothing voice, he'll immediately stop his transformations and revert back to human form. But it must be a feminine voice. Though, no one knows this just yet.
The Fire Heart has it's own set of weaknesses as well. For starters, Jaska's weakness is the cold and water. You see, the Fire-heart needs to be constantly hot. Water in contact with his skin cools down the fire-heart. If he's submerged in cold water then the fire-heart will extinguish in seconds. While the Fire-heart is extinguished, Jaska's body will be insanely weak. His skin will turn to a pale-blue color, he'll be physically exhausted, his senses will be dulled, his healing will slow, and he'll be extra vulnerable to the cold. Which can kill him if he's not tended to immediately. While in beast form, however, extinguishing the fire-heart will immediately cause him to revert right back. A way to quicken the reawakening of his fire heart is to expose him to heat and flames. Jaska is in no way immune to the byproducts of fire, specifically smoke, he can still suffer negative effects of smoke inhalation. He could burn off his own clothes, which, while it doesn't bother him, is something that the people around him don't want to see. The fires and heat he creates has an unintended side-effect on his mental state. It excites him, kicks his fight-or-flight responses into overdrive, and makes him give into his violent instincts. He'll find himself acting more violently and rash than he normally does, he very well may find himself going overboard and creating a fire storm to harm people. It more or less will make him accidentally devolve into the same bestial mindset I mentioned before. Naturally, Jaska doesn't like this one bit.

Jaska has small, narrow slanted eyes, that have an unnatural golden iris. These irises seemingly reflects light off them when a light is shined onto them. Jaska has very black hair, that's straight and well kept. It is kept in a shaggy style, with strands of hair brushed aside. His hair is ear-length.
Attire: For his age, Jaska dresses quite fancily - Well no. Every tries to make him dress fancy, only to fail when he tears up his clothes. He's often seen wearing a old and tattered suit made for him ages ago. Though it's long lost that former glory once Jaska started wearing it for awhile. Jaska has a wide selection of clothes with holes in the back for him to put his wings through. Though, sometimes he wears regular clothes and keeps his wings compact. Jaska is never seen wearing shoes of any sorts.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Jaska is a very energetic young boy that rarely seems to hold still. Sometimes he's there. Then he's over there. He's quite easy to distract - Though, if something really has his attention, then he'll rarely divert focus from it. When excited he speaks quickly, and rarely gives thought to his words. Though when calm he speaks like this time. Jaska is nice to everyone, however, sometimes he can be rude. Or unwittingly blunt. Though, there are a few people that he regards as mean people and stays away from. Jaska isn't the type to fight, just jump in his face and say boo and he'll be running. Which means he's quite easy to intimidate. He's utterly oblivious to the complexities of life and morality - Because screw that. He just wants to have some fun. Which goes without saying; he's quite oblivious to a few things. Which can be taken advantage of if someone knows what. Sometimes Jaska is utterly unaware of what's right and wrong. Not in the sociopathic way at all. He'll break something and utterly be oblivious to what he did was wrong. Stuff like that. Because of his power Jaska acts like a predator, in social situations and out. He stalks people like prey before approaching. Sometimes he's even often seen hunting actual prey. Even gruesomely killing it and devouring it - In front of people. It's all natural to him so he doesn't really think it's a taboo to do so.
Meh. Haven't really played as a character this young before. Cut me a break.
Hobbies/Interests: Jaska likes playing video games, exploring, going out and having fun, meeting and talking to people, observing things, high up places.
Skills/Talents: I personally think it'd be stretching it to give a ten year any major skills, so l'll Jaska some realistic skills. Jaska is an expert explorer, and climber, often finding himself in places he shouldn't be.
Prized Possession: Jaska's prized possession pretty much changes weekly; right now it's his gold fish that he keeps in his room.

Abilities
Power Class: Animal 4-10, Super-System 4-10, Elemental 6-10, & Energy 2-5.
Power: Jaska has two different forms.
Apex Predator. Jaska is a predator, plain and simple. The king of the beasts. His power has altered his body to give him all he needs to hunt even the strongest of creatures. The first ability of note is a passive one; the predator instinct. It's an instinctive trait that makes him the master of hunting and tracking - As long as he has prey. It gives him information that allows him to predict what the prey will do next, where he is going, and how to trap/catch them. Along with a secondary instinct that tells him if he's being hunted, watched, etc. This isn't the last of his abilities - He has a wide variety of other traits his power has gifted him with. Jaska has dense, razor-sharp claws, enhanced strength (He can lift up to two times his weight), razor sharp teeth, wings that allow flight, a prehensile tail, enhanced speed and agility, enhanced senses (hearing, sight/night-vision, and smell), minor regeneration, and camouflage (Along with the ability to change his skin color to anything within the color spectrum).
Inner Beast. Whenever Jaska hears the phrase "Little Devil" (Or a similar variation; there are more trigger phrases), or is seriously injured, it will trigger Jaska's transformation into a monster form. This form makes Jaska gradually grow to immense size, and gives him monstrous strength that'll make him a handful for most. However, the transformation is far from instant. He gradually transforms over time, and the more he transforms, the more powerful he'll get - Combat accelerates the transformation. Transformed; Jaska will have enhanced strength, enhanced regeneration, greater durability (Armored scales & Reinforced bones), and superior senses. All proportionate to how far he is into a transformation. Though he'll still have all of his Apex Predator abilities. Jaska will retain all traits of his Fire-Heart (Read below), and it will strengthen depending on how far he is on his transformation. His flames will get hotter and more destructive, creating one hell of a threat. When he enters this form, he'll revert to primal mental state, where he's controlled purely by impulse and instinctive, and driven by a genocidal rage. He'll throw reason and intelligence out of the window, and will basically turn into a violent and uncontrollable animal. Jaska will have no "friend or foe" mechanics and will try to kill just about everyone. In this state, he'll be immune to mind abilities (telepathy, and etc). Since there's barely any mind to access. After awhile Jaska will revert back to his normal form.
The abilities below apply over both forms:
Fire Heart. Jaska possesses the Fire-heart. Similar to Gabe's previous power, Jaska has what is more-or-less, a tiny star that resides in his chest, which constantly generates immense amounts of heat. This naturally brings his body up a few notches. Fortunately, this gives him a complete immunity to all things heat, or else he would have died ages ago. The heat also assists with healing in a way, killing bacteria, diseases and other nasty things. A passive effect of this ability is that any fires get hotter, and more intense by his mere presence. Now the meat of this ability is his pryomancery. A form of which that is naturally a few notches above the regular variety. The flames he creates are hotter, brighter, and more intense than any natural fire. Even the smallest amount can make things uncomfortable. He can also control fire that was externally created, and bring it to the heat and intensity of the flames he generates. Naturally, he can do a few fire tricks such as fire-ball, fire-storms, and other fire-related carnage. He can also control heat to an extent, he can generate heat and manipulate the heat that his fire-heart naturally gives off.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Jaska is primarily driven by his predator urges and instincts. They can be quite hard to resist at times, and may overwrite his other wants and needs. Jaska must satisfy this urge whenever possible, or else he'll get super distracted, and the urge will get greater and greater until it overwhelms him - Forcing him to just kill something. Which can include a human being if his willpower isn't enough. The predatory instinct also seeps into his thoughts. Intrusively making him think about how he can hurt people, and sometimes it's hard to resist these thoughts. Jaska also has a risk of devolving into a bestial-mindset, especially under high levels of stress/strain, scared, or when threatened. Effectively turning himself into the vicious animal he keeps locked up. Using his pryomancery makes this much worse, and sensing blood may overwhelm him. Jaska is very young and weak, mentally and physically outclassed by many of the older, more experienced, members of the cast in the mental and physical arena. He doesn't exactly have the conscious will to kill and harm people. He can be easily intimidated by mostly anyone and will just flee from most threats of violence. He can also easily be tricked or manipulated by someone older. That out of the way, while in control of himself he's quite frail. Attacks can easily damage him, and while he can regenerate, he can't regenerate well enough to make a difference in fights. There is also a chance that he may heal a broken limb incorrectly if it hasn't been braced well, which will require the same limb to be broken again so he can heal it correctly. Jaska's super senses can be taken advantage of. They can be damaged if someone knows to take advantage of them. Bright, and flashing lights can blind him. Strong smells, and foul odors, can overload his sense of smell, and loud sounds can damage his hearing. He can go deaf if his hearing is damaged enough. His fingers being claws makes it difficult for him to hold objects and other things. Jaska's resistance to diseases and toxins also extends to medicine, which means that medicine won't help him should he require it. Jaska's camouflage requires him to go very slowly to allow his body to keep up, if he goes too fast he'll be visible until he stops. Then there's the usual weaknesses that turning invisible have (He can be heard/smelled, detected by an extra-sense, etc).
Like you may have expected; Jaska can't control his transformations, nor can he control himself. Everyone, and everything, is a target once he transforms, and his main goal is to cause as much destruction as possible. He also really, really, really doesn't like transforming at all. Because it's utter hell. He sees and know everything he does when he transforms, and experiences the horror to the very last second. It causes him great emotional and mental strain, and because of it, he has some mental scars. Thus saying that he really doesn't like talking about it is an understatement. Jaska's beast form is the weakest when he first transforms. So the best time to fight him is when he first transforms. Jaska's armoring is from head-to-toe, however, his joints are exposed so he'd retain some form of mobility. The more Jaska transforms, the bigger and slower he'll get. The only ways to get him out of beast mode is to defeat him, restrain him, wait until he tires himself out, or say the counter phrase. Once he's out of the form, he'll fall into a short coma and will be physically and emotionally exhausted. If the phrase "Rest little angel" is said by a female, in a soothing voice, he'll immediately stop his transformations and revert back to human form. But it must be a feminine voice. Though, no one knows this just yet.
The Fire Heart has it's own set of weaknesses as well. For starters, Jaska's weakness is the cold and water. You see, the Fire-heart needs to be constantly hot. Water in contact with his skin cools down the fire-heart. If he's submerged in cold water then the fire-heart will extinguish in seconds. While the Fire-heart is extinguished, Jaska's body will be insanely weak. His skin will turn to a pale-blue color, he'll be physically exhausted, his senses will be dulled, his healing will slow, and he'll be extra vulnerable to the cold. Which can kill him if he's not tended to immediately. While in beast form, however, extinguishing the fire-heart will immediately cause him to revert right back. A way to quicken the reawakening of his fire heart is to expose him to heat and flames. Jaska is in no way immune to the byproducts of fire, specifically smoke, he can still suffer negative effects of smoke inhalation. He could burn off his own clothes, which, while it doesn't bother him, is something that the people around him don't want to see. The fires and heat he creates has an unintended side-effect on his mental state. It excites him, kicks his fight-or-flight responses into overdrive, and makes him give into his violent instincts. He'll find himself acting more violently and rash than he normally does, he very well may find himself going overboard and creating a fire storm to harm people. It more or less will make him accidentally devolve into the same bestial mindset I mentioned before. Naturally, Jaska doesn't like this one bit.

Basic Information
Name: Henry J. Olin
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Tick-Tock, The Dock Croc, Iguana, Godzilla, Gator, Wannabe Godzilla, Big Ass Lizard, Swamp Creature, Croco, etc.
Gender: Either, prefers his original male gender.
Age: 25
Height: 7'4, 16'10 from snout to tail.
Weight: 692.3 lb.
Status: Teacher/Intern, Returning and Full Student (although his schooling is finished).
Appearance
Hair Color: N/A
Eye Color: His eye ball is yellow, but he has no irises.
Ethnicity: Green.
Physical Appearance: Take the lizard, combine it with a man, and give it some aspects of birds, and you get... well, a lizard person. At 7'3, he is a relatively large and overbearing creature, but can still have difficulty meeting eye to eye with some people on campus. He has dark green, scaly skin with a row of iguana like spikes running down the length of his back, and a near white underbelly. He is very much what you would expect from a lizard man. Henry has four fingered hands and two three toed feet. The claws found on his hands are up to three inches long (only one is that long, and it is his middle finger). His toes are adorned with three inch claws as well, except what would be his big toe (the one closest to his other foot) has a different build to the others and has the ability to raise up, allowing a large six inch sickle claw that is retractable into his toe socket (like that of a raptor's claw, or more commonly, a cat's). Henry also has a very long (a little longer than his height) and very muscular prehensile tail. In fact, this tail in nothing but muscle. Much like common reptiles, this tail is detachable and can be regrown. Unlike that of a chameleons, however, the tail becomes almost crocodilian and is flattened at the end, designed for propulsion in water.
Attire: Henry, more often than not, wears a huge, specially fitted wetsuit that was made for him at his request. He is more often than not getting his own dinner from the ocean, and is constantly diving. He doesn't want to ruin any good clothes he has, and more often than not doesn't want to walk around naked. So, he compromised while keeping in mind his amphibian ability to absorb oxygen from the water around him. So the wetsuit acts like scuba gear for him while he's catching himself food.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Henry is, despite what you might expect from him, and pretty cool guy. He's really laid back and will often share a good laugh if he can. With anything or one, really. He has tried to be the change he wishes to see for the animal meta humans. He's extremely smart, border lining insane. He will often teach chemistry to other students since he has finished his schooling and wants to become a teacher at the academy, so he's used to public speaking. He is hurt when people don't give him the time of day for anything, but one of his character flaws or errors is that he is stubborn and will try to get everyone to like him. It's also this bull headed stubbornness that has gotten him into trouble before in doing things he shouldn't be. He's trusting to most anyone who will let him be, and this can lead to pitfalls later on (or him accidentally marking your incorrect test question correct). For back of a better description, he is a nerd, but he is somewhat cool nerd/king of the nerds.
Hobbies/Interests: Hunting, fishing, diving, any club he's in, etc. He is currently in the Outdoors club, Science, and Dinner club (associate). He isn't really a cook in the dinner club, but he supplied fresh fish for anyone who wants to make a dish out of it. Henry is an incredibly interesting person overall. He runs a show online that's centered around him essentially taking useless shit and making it into something awesome (he made micro match shooting crossbows and made a huge solar scorcher that directs a beam of sunlight 2000F out of a TV screen, and has made fire out of water, etc). He also has a large social media following and is somewhat famous on Twitter. He is semi-hated and loved on Tumblr for having mixed feeling on "other-kin", as he likes the support but finds textbook kin... stupid.
Skills/Talents: Works as an intern for some of the lab teachers. More often than not, making the tests and grading them, as well as teaching here and there. He aims to become a teacher at the school. He is an excellent diver and explorer, and is licensed to teach several survival skills by the school, and unlicensed to teach others. He's also really good a filleting fish. He is a very capable fighter in physical combat, tearing stuff up with his claws is his specialty. While not necessarily a brawler, he is very good at hit and run tactics and fights like Loki rather than Thor. If he is driven into a corner, he fights like a wild animal and will resort to some... unorthodox tactics that would baffle even the more seasoned fighters, out of instinct for self preservation. He's overall incredibly clever and smart, and has a lot of hidden talents that are incredibly useless (the story of every's life).
Prized Possession: He loves his collection of cards from home.

History/Bio:
Henry J. Olin was born in May, 1989.
When he was born, he was average weight, and had a full head of hair and looked like a little old man. He did nothing but scream and shit for three days after that.
And for a while, Henry was a normal boy. He attended normal school, was normal height, and looked like a normal half Japanese boy from a normal upper middle class Canadian family.
Then, when he turned twelve in 7th grade, puberty hit him like a freight train. Unlike most his awkward phase was extremely short. Also unlike most he turned into a huge ass lizard monster.
Yes you read that right.
Within the span of a week he had literally eaten all the food in the house, undergone excruciating pain, and became literally the most pissed off kid you will ever meet. Brooding teenagers have nothing on him. He quite literally nearly took his sister's hand off for trying to swipe away a spare meatball. If this was Oregon trail everyone's diets were set to bare bones for about eights for sheer survival purposes as he literally ate everything (bite makes on the dinner table for evidence). Henry's mother took him to the hospital, and to many forms of therapists and none of which had ever seen something like him before.
Henry was taken out of school, and as he regained control over himself and his body calmed down, he wasn't anywhere near what he was when the transformation began eight days before. Standing at a staggering 6'5 from his previous 4'11, and weighing in at a gaunt 210lbs, Henry was unhealthy, and overall sick, but still much larger and stronger than his own father (Who was about 5'10, 170lbs). His body was still suffering the effects of the chemical changes and metabolism shift from warm blooded to lukewarm. His awkward stage continued for another week or so as his adapted, and gained weight. He ate as much as before, but he wasn't as violent in doing so. Eventually he calmed down over the next two weeks, being a solid 401 lbs. At the weight of 411, he was actually capable of passing urine and passed his first stool since he began the change two and a half weeks before. When school started up again he did online school, and when the 8th grade year ended, Henry was alerted of the Academy 218 after displaying superhuman abilities in terms of feats of strength, speed, stamina, and intelligence. Henry began to become smarter and excelling at work even more so than what his already intelligent parents thought he ever would normally. His parents talked it over, and decided that it would be best for him if he attended, and was sent off to paradise to expand on his power. He hasn't been back to the normal world since. He has been in the Academy for fourteen years and has experienced a great deal in the thirteen years he's been there. He's seen some shit, and he's pretty damned hardened because of it. He would by lying if he said hadn't seen people explode, or kill others in fits of rage or fear. He's been in a lot disasters too, like the shipwreck incident that he survived and helped others survive. He's experienced loss, but he's also experienced love and some of the most beautiful things the world has to offer. He'll post pictures of his diving trips, things he catches, school, power training, etc on his instagram and often talks about his day with friends on instagram. He has essentially managed to stay human despite being a reptilian man. He's made friends, he's joined groups, he's acted, he's flown, he partied, and gone to college and graduated with a 4.0 GPA in the Academy's college, which is one of the hardest in the world. Then, he went back for more and got his doctrine degree in Chemistry, and then became a teacher at the school.
Henry's lived a good life, and has made the best of the situation and the card's he's been dealt. He's become a great man. His older sister is getting married soon, and if all goes well he'll be taking leave from the campus for the first time in over a decade to attend the wedding. He's looking forward to seeing his family again over more than just Skype calls or face time videos.
And that leads him to where he is today.
Family: He's got two parents and two sisters (one is twenty-seven, one is nineteen) who care very deeply for him. He sometimes gets letters from them and will send post cards, trinkets, pictures, and more back to them.

Anatomical/Biological 4
Power Class: Super System, Animal, Anatomical/Biological.
Power:
General:
Henry is a large, and very, very physically strong meta human. While not as strong as those with super strength, he is capable of taking on large animals that outweigh him and may even be taller (such as a large bear) and winning. While not armored like a crocodile, his skin is still fairly tough and leathery, more so than a humans at least, and his scales are very much like that of a sharks, almost like backwards facing teeth that reduce drag in the water and make his skin fairly rough or sharp when dragging your hand across it the wrong way. He is a very agile creature by nature, flexible, acrobatic almost. He is able to bend and jump and move from place to pace at an incredible pace, his reptilian body being very good at navigating aquatic and forest areas. His senses are very well tuned and more power than any humans. He has a regenerative healing factor that allows him to regrow full limbs if they are lost, not just his tail. Although, this takes a lot of time, and a lot of energy and bodily resources.
Henry has most of the abilities of amphibians, lizards, snakes, and birds. A bacteria infested bite, claws, a nasty set of triple rowed teeth (some shark like, others more crocodilian), regenerative properties (able to regenerate limbs after a while), a very powerful form color change (Not invisibility, but damn close), and some other weird things thrown in there. It has been said that he potentially has the ability to shift to the female gender and then back to male, although this is largely unknown as nobody wants to go up to him and say "Hey, become a girl!" because he probably doesn't know how exactly to do that (and it's not like they know what he looks like besides hearing his voice). He also has the ability to breath in water through his skin like a frog, and... well, in another way which he nor I want to discuss. You want to know how? Look up how Irwin's turtles do it. He also has the ability to crawl around on walls like that of Spiderman, due to the fact his hands and feet have little hairs on their soles, like that of a Gecko's, allowing him to stick to most substances with great ease. Henry has a very powerful set of senses (hearing, sight, and smell, etc). Especially smell. He has two ways of smelling the air, which is through his noes and then through his tongue like a snake. Also like a snake, he has two pits right in front of his eyes that allow him to heat seek like a viper. His blood also has displayed a much lower pH than that of regular blood, making it unsurvivable for most diseases, and will denature protein based compounds such as venom to the point where they function at a less potent effect, or simply do not function at all depending on the lethality of the venom. Henry also has an incredible ability to alter his biological strengths and weaknesses over the duration of a battle or effect. He can become stronger at the cost of agility and speed, or fast at the cost of strength, more observant, more emotionally driven, tougher, etc at the cost of various other strengths. This ability is mentally driven, and can be changed several times at will if he desires, making his fighting style neigh impossible to read at times.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:
Cold, and internal bleeding. Internal bleeding is also a big issue because while his insides are acid resistant, if he begins to bleed in more sensitive areas he can have a VERY bad time. While he can bounce back from this like he can most things, it is extremely painful and can put him out of the battle in no time flat. While he is a reptile, and he thrives in heat, he has little to no resistances to energy or ranged attacks. Things like fire, and lasers are very effective against him and he has very few options in fighting back against attacks like these. He will choose to hide over fight any day since, while he is very dangerous and a heavy hitter, he is not meant to be in combat for large amounts of times. Unlike some super strong metas, he lacks durability and, while able to bounce back from most wounds within a week or so, can be put out of a fight with a few well placed shots if fighting physically, if you can get passed his offenses. Blunt force weaponry is especially effective because his bones aren't much stronger than that of a humans (and some are weaker in some areas, like his wishbone). So if you have a big heavy stick, or a led pipe, it will be pretty effective in just swinging it around. Knives aren't very effective at all, but swords can hurt a lot. His regenerative abilities are entirely dependent on how much food and resources he can get into his body to make the new limb again. His body cannot just regrow things. It takes time and energy, and during this time, while the wound might be closed and healing, it is still painful and the process can be put on hold if he cannot find food. While it's not that hard to hunt and gather, if he is kept from doing that his limb wont grow back until he does get the resources necessary. While he might be able to recover from most conventional damage after some time (even some shots to the head he can bounce back from), his body is still weak to effect damage such as starvation, dehydration (which is a big problem in such a hot environment), overheating, etc. His ability to manipulate his biology and strengths and weaknesses is purely mentally driven. He has to think about it and that can be distracting. It can also take time, and energy. While the efficiency and amount of time needed can be minimized with training, it requires a lot of training. He doesn't really know how to do it, only that he knows he CAN do it. He has to learn what causes the phenomenon, and how to tap into that. It's not an instinct either, it doesn't just happen like some of his reflexes. It will require a lot of ass kicking in the name of training (with his ass being kicked most of the time).
Other: Henry has been in the academy for thirteen years (Over half his life), and knows his way around campus and outside of it. If you want to have some exploring done, ask him to be your guide. Because he is an intern he has some (but a minuscule amount) of pull with the teachers and administration and can potentially get permission to go on small expeditions.

Unlike that of a chameleons, however, the tail becomes almost crocodilian and is flattened at the end, designed for propulsion in water.
Attire: Henry, more often than not, wears a huge, specially fitted wetsuit that was made for him at his request. He is more often than not getting his own dinner from the ocean, and is constantly diving. He doesn't want to ruin any good clothes he has, and more often than not doesn't want to walk around naked. So, he compromised while keeping in mind his amphibian ability to absorb oxygen from the water around him. So the wetsuit acts like scuba gear for him while he's catching himself food.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Henry is, despite what you might expect from him, and pretty cool guy. He's really laid back and will often share a good laugh if he can. With anything or one, really. He has tried to be the change he wishes to see for the animal meta humans. He's extremely smart, border lining insane. He will often teach chemistry to other students since he has finished his schooling and wants to become a teacher at the academy, so he's used to public speaking. He is hurt when people don't give him the time of day for anything, but one of his character flaws or errors is that he is stubborn and will try to get everyone to like him. It's also this bull headed stubbornness that has gotten him into trouble before in doing things he shouldn't be. He's trusting to most anyone who will let him be, and this can lead to pitfalls later on (or him accidentally marking your incorrect test question correct). For back of a better description, he is a nerd, but he is somewhat cool nerd/king of the nerds.
Hobbies/Interests: Hunting, fishing, diving, any club he's in, etc. He is currently in the Outdoors club, Science, and Dinner club (associate). He isn't really a cook in the dinner club, but he supplied fresh fish for anyone who wants to make a dish out of it. Henry is an incredibly interesting person overall. He runs a show online that's centered around him essentially taking useless shit and making it into something awesome (he made micro match shooting crossbows and made a huge solar scorcher that directs a beam of sunlight 2000F out of a TV screen, and has made fire out of water, etc). He also has a large social media following and is somewhat famous on Twitter. He is semi-hated and loved on Tumblr for having mixed feeling on "other-kin", as he likes the support but finds textbook kin... stupid.
Skills/Talents: Works as an intern for some of the lab teachers. More often than not, making the tests and grading them, as well as teaching here and there. He aims to become a teacher at the school. He is an excellent diver and explorer, and is licensed to teach several survival skills by the school, and unlicensed to teach others. He's also really good a filleting fish. He is a very capable fighter in physical combat, tearing stuff up with his claws is his specialty. While not necessarily a brawler, he is very good at hit and run tactics and fights like Loki rather than Thor. If he is driven into a corner, he fights like a wild animal and will resort to some... unorthodox tactics that would baffle even the more seasoned fighters, out of instinct for self preservation. He's overall incredibly clever and smart, and has a lot of hidden talents that are incredibly useless (the story of every's life).
Prized Possession: He loves his collection of cards from home.

History/Bio:
Henry J. Olin was born in May, 1989.
When he was born, he was average weight, and had a full head of hair and looked like a little old man. He did nothing but scream and shit for three days after that.
And for a while, Henry was a normal boy. He attended normal school, was normal height, and looked like a normal half Japanese boy from a normal upper middle class Canadian family.
Then, when he turned twelve in 7th grade, puberty hit him like a freight train. Unlike most his awkward phase was extremely short. Also unlike most he turned into a huge ass lizard monster.
Yes you read that right.
Within the span of a week he had literally eaten all the food in the house, undergone excruciating pain, and became literally the most pissed off kid you will ever meet. Brooding teenagers have nothing on him. He quite literally nearly took his sister's hand off for trying to swipe away a spare meatball. If this was Oregon trail everyone's diets were set to bare bones for about eights for sheer survival purposes as he literally ate everything (bite makes on the dinner table for evidence). Henry's mother took him to the hospital, and to many forms of therapists and none of which had ever seen something like him before.
Henry was taken out of school, and as he regained control over himself and his body calmed down, he wasn't anywhere near what he was when the transformation began eight days before. Standing at a staggering 6'5 from his previous 4'11, and weighing in at a gaunt 210lbs, Henry was unhealthy, and overall sick, but still much larger and stronger than his own father (Who was about 5'10, 170lbs). His body was still suffering the effects of the chemical changes and metabolism shift from warm blooded to lukewarm. His awkward stage continued for another week or so as his adapted, and gained weight. He ate as much as before, but he wasn't as violent in doing so. Eventually he calmed down over the next two weeks, being a solid 401 lbs. At the weight of 411, he was actually capable of passing urine and passed his first stool since he began the change two and a half weeks before. When school started up again he did online school, and when the 8th grade year ended, Henry was alerted of the Academy 218 after displaying superhuman abilities in terms of feats of strength, speed, stamina, and intelligence. Henry began to become smarter and excelling at work even more so than what his already intelligent parents thought he ever would normally. His parents talked it over, and decided that it would be best for him if he attended, and was sent off to paradise to expand on his power. He hasn't been back to the normal world since. He has been in the Academy for fourteen years and has experienced a great deal in the thirteen years he's been there. He's seen some shit, and he's pretty damned hardened because of it. He would by lying if he said hadn't seen people explode, or kill others in fits of rage or fear. He's been in a lot disasters too, like the shipwreck incident that he survived and helped others survive. He's experienced loss, but he's also experienced love and some of the most beautiful things the world has to offer. He'll post pictures of his diving trips, things he catches, school, power training, etc on his instagram and often talks about his day with friends on instagram. He has essentially managed to stay human despite being a reptilian man. He's made friends, he's joined groups, he's acted, he's flown, he partied, and gone to college and graduated with a 4.0 GPA in the Academy's college, which is one of the hardest in the world. Then, he went back for more and got his doctrine degree in Chemistry, and then became a teacher at the school.
Henry's lived a good life, and has made the best of the situation and the card's he's been dealt. He's become a great man. His older sister is getting married soon, and if all goes well he'll be taking leave from the campus for the first time in over a decade to attend the wedding. He's looking forward to seeing his family again over more than just Skype calls or face time videos.
And that leads him to where he is today.
Family: He's got two parents and two sisters (one is twenty-seven, one is nineteen) who care very deeply for him. He sometimes gets letters from them and will send post cards, trinkets, pictures, and more back to them.

General:
Henry is a large, and very, very physically strong meta human. While not as strong as those with super strength, he is capable of taking on large animals that outweigh him and may even be taller (such as a large bear) and winning. While not armored like a crocodile, his skin is still fairly tough and leathery, more so than a humans at least, and his scales are very much like that of a sharks, almost like backwards facing teeth that reduce drag in the water and make his skin fairly rough or sharp when dragging your hand across it the wrong way. He is a very agile creature by nature, flexible, acrobatic almost. He is able to bend and jump and move from place to pace at an incredible pace, his reptilian body being very good at navigating aquatic and forest areas. His senses are very well tuned and more power than any humans. He has a regenerative healing factor that allows him to regrow full limbs if they are lost, not just his tail. Although, this takes a lot of time, and a lot of energy and bodily resources.
Henry has most of the abilities of amphibians, lizards, snakes, and birds. A bacteria infested bite, claws, a nasty set of triple rowed teeth (some shark like, others more crocodilian), regenerative properties (able to regenerate limbs after a while), a very powerful form color change (Not invisibility, but damn close), and some other weird things thrown in there. It has been said that he potentially has the ability to shift to the female gender and then back to male, although this is largely unknown as nobody wants to go up to him and say "Hey, become a girl!" because he probably doesn't know how exactly to do that (and it's not like they know what he looks like besides hearing his voice). He also has the ability to breath in water through his skin like a frog, and... well, in another way which he nor I want to discuss. You want to know how? Look up how Irwin's turtles do it. He also has the ability to crawl around on walls like that of Spiderman, due to the fact his hands and feet have little hairs on their soles, like that of a Gecko's, allowing him to stick to most substances with great ease. Henry has a very powerful set of senses (hearing, sight, and smell, etc). Especially smell. He has two ways of smelling the air, which is through his noes and then through his tongue like a snake. Also like a snake, he has two pits right in front of his eyes that allow him to heat seek like a viper. His blood also has displayed a much lower pH than that of regular blood, making it unsurvivable for most diseases, and will denature protein based compounds such as venom to the point where they function at a less potent effect, or simply do not function at all depending on the lethality of the venom. Henry also has an incredible ability to alter his biological strengths and weaknesses over the duration of a battle or effect. He can become stronger at the cost of agility and speed, or fast at the cost of strength, more observant, more emotionally driven, tougher, etc at the cost of various other strengths. This ability is mentally driven, and can be changed several times at will if he desires, making his fighting style neigh impossible to read at times.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:
Cold, and internal bleeding. Internal bleeding is also a big issue because while his insides are acid resistant, if he begins to bleed in more sensitive areas he can have a VERY bad time. While he can bounce back from this like he can most things, it is extremely painful and can put him out of the battle in no time flat. While he is a reptile, and he thrives in heat, he has little to no resistances to energy or ranged attacks. Things like fire, and lasers are very effective against him and he has very few options in fighting back against attacks like these. He will choose to hide over fight any day since, while he is very dangerous and a heavy hitter, he is not meant to be in combat for large amounts of times. Unlike some super strong metas, he lacks durability and, while able to bounce back from most wounds within a week or so, can be put out of a fight with a few well placed shots if fighting physically, if you can get passed his offenses. Blunt force weaponry is especially effective because his bones aren't much stronger than that of a humans (and some are weaker in some areas, like his wishbone). So if you have a big heavy stick, or a led pipe, it will be pretty effective in just swinging it around. Knives aren't very effective at all, but swords can hurt a lot. His regenerative abilities are entirely dependent on how much food and resources he can get into his body to make the new limb again. His body cannot just regrow things. It takes time and energy, and during this time, while the wound might be closed and healing, it is still painful and the process can be put on hold if he cannot find food. While it's not that hard to hunt and gather, if he is kept from doing that his limb wont grow back until he does get the resources necessary. While he might be able to recover from most conventional damage after some time (even some shots to the head he can bounce back from), his body is still weak to effect damage such as starvation, dehydration (which is a big problem in such a hot environment), overheating, etc. His ability to manipulate his biology and strengths and weaknesses is purely mentally driven. He has to think about it and that can be distracting. It can also take time, and energy. While the efficiency and amount of time needed can be minimized with training, it requires a lot of training. He doesn't really know how to do it, only that he knows he CAN do it. He has to learn what causes the phenomenon, and how to tap into that. It's not an instinct either, it doesn't just happen like some of his reflexes. It will require a lot of ass kicking in the name of training (with his ass being kicked most of the time).
Other: Henry has been in the academy for thirteen years (Over half his life), and knows his way around campus and outside of it. If you want to have some exploring done, ask him to be your guide. Because he is an intern he has some (but a minuscule amount) of pull with the teachers and administration and can potentially get permission to go on small expeditions.

Basic Information
Name: Terry Kevin Obott
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Terry is now Theresa Sindel Obott. Tess is also a nickname. Panacea would be her "code name".
Gender: Male to female transgendered. Biologically male, but identifies as female.
Age: 15
Height: 5'7
Weight: 116
Status: Returning student
Appearance
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Hazel
Ethnicity: Caucasian - With Romanian, Irish, and German in her blood.
Physical Appearance: Theresa is a biological male, that now identifies as a female. She has done her best to look feminine, and she was fortunate enough to already be somewhat "girly". Even when she identified as a male she had a lithe, slender, body, with a tight stomach and behind, and tender good looks. She shaves her face and other areas of her body to appear more feminine. However, her masculine facial features (and shape), voice and body shape, are more masculine than anything. Which makes it hard to perfectly pass off as a girl. Theresa looks like someone who hasn't done much work in her life. With zero muscles, and an overall weakling look. Her height is an inch above the average female height, at 5'7 feet, and for weight, she is 116 pounds. Theresa is definitely Caucasian, her skin is a pale white color, completely clear of any marks and scars. Just like a newborn child. Theresa's head is diamond shaped, with most of her facial features being smooth and rounded. Her facial features appear to be European. She has small, smooth cheeks that blend seamlessly with her jawline and chin. With her chin being medium sized and blocky, not blending that well into her jawline, which is not that visible. Theresa's nose is wide, and she has some large nostrils, along with a thicker nose bridge. Her lips are thin and small, definitely the kind of lips you would see on a man. However, most of her facial features are hard to notice because she keeps a scarf around her face most of the time. Her ears are small, point upwards, and are pointed at the tip slightly. Theresa's hair is black colored and straight, she keeps her hair in a bowl-cut like style which goes past her ears.
Attire: Theresa's style is rather modest, or causal. She wears skirts, jackets, jeans, and so on. Whatever fits the mood. She wears jewelry of the sorts. However, the most notable thing about Theresa's attire is that she keeps her lower face (Everything below the nose) covered from a thick scarf when around other people. It is because of her power, she wears it to keep people from getting affected. Though, when alone, she won't be wearing it. She wouldn't be caught dead walking around in a gas mask.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Theresa is a very kind and upfront human being, who is extremely sociable and humorous, just the kind of person who'd approach anyone. She is constantly spouting jokes, and sarcastic wisecracks about anything possible, sometimes veering into dark-comedy territory, but her jokes are never malicious. She is always looking to have fun in any way possible - From playing around, to mischief, long as it's entertaining. She mostly has this mindset because she wishes to let off steam, and escape her life's problems every now and then. Sometimes even during inappropriate moments. She is very open minded when it comes to other people, and is willing to try new things, all in the name of fun. Theresa surprisingly has trouble dealing with emotional situations, insults, criticism, and problems, and naturally tries to block them out by joking, or avoiding them like the plague. She is not the kind of person who would take responsibility and hone up to her mistakes, she would avoid them. She never wants to talk about her problems or anyone else's really, she just wants to continue living her life of fun as she normally does. This makes it hard for her to be emphatic as she wants to be, and help her friends. Theresa keeps her own true emotions and feelings to herself. She simply keeps those emotions bottled up, and expresses them behind closed doors, or to the few she trusts with her emotions. That joking habit of hers is because she wants to keep her Transgenderism from being the blunt of verbal abuse. That said, it's truly rare for Theresa to do the same to other people, because if you don't want people prying into your own business, then don't pry into theirs. Theresa sexually doesn't prefer one kind of person more than another. She is fine with dating guys or girls. That said, she is pansexual.
Hobbies/Interests: Theresa is a big fan of indie music. Techno, synthpop/synthrock, and even underground rap. She's often seen with earbuds in her ears. She's also interested in things such as politics, gardening, and entertainment like movies and TV shows.
Skills/Talents: Theresa's family has always been big on hunting, she was taken out on several hunting trips. She got to learn how to use a knife, and even learned how to use a bow and arrow. She even got to use a gun. Erm, she's really good at knifeplay (She knows how to throw knives) and archery (She's naturally talented at archery). She also knows how to fish. She's also very good at sneaking and hiding, perfect for navigating the woods hunting for deer. She also knows how to skin, gut and prepare animals for consumption. So if we ever get into a post apocalyptic situation, Theresa's your girl. Theresa knows a few brass instruments, such as the trumpet and the saxophone. Not super good, but not bad either. She's also an artist. Give her a pencil, and she'll have a speed sketch of someone up in ten minutes. Theresa knows how to speak Spanish well enough to keep a conversation going.
Prized Possession: Theresa prizes no object, truly.
History/Bio: Theresa didn't go to highschool, she went to school high.
Family: Theresa's family is a bit complicated. Sure, she has a mother, father, grand parents, and a variety of cousins. But due to her father's promiscuous past, she has a lot of half siblings that don't live with her. None that she's particularly close to because they rejected her because of her change. Because of child support, Theresa's family is always struggling to pay their bills, and are forced into the low end parts of her home city, Philadelphia.

Abilities
Power Class: Chemical 6, Super-System 5.
Power: Narcotic Breath & Fluids. Drugs, drugs, drugs. Everyone loves them, and Theresa here is a walking factory. To be specific, Theresa's bodily fluids and breath are powerful hallucinogenic, sedative, and medical drugs. In order for it to work, it has to come in contact with another human being (It can touch the skin, or ingested, doesn't matter), it is instantly absorbed into the body. The effects of the drug are euphoria, body-wide physical pleasure, sedation, reduction of pain, hallucinations (Psychedelic in nature), removal of contaminants (Bacteria, Poison, Diseases, etc), and will heal wounds. The severity of these effects are, predictably, dependent on dosage. For example, a lick from Tess would render someone incoherent, taking a puff of her breath will cause someone to feel a little tingly, and a lot of her blood spilling on someone would be a high unlike no other. The drug is not addictive in the slightest. However, people can overdose if given too much of it. Theresa can learn how to alter the effect of her drug, such as it's only effect being healing, or perhaps make her fluids poisonous. It's hard but she'll gradually learn how to do it it.Theresa is immune to the some of the effects of her drug, along with the effects of all foreign chemicals and contaminants (Poison, diseases, bacteria, etc) merely because the drug flowing through her cancels them out.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Theresa's own power screws with her own natural chemicals. Specifically the part that produces natural painkillers. She has a far lower pain tolerance, and is far more susceptible to pain. Other chemicals I don't feel like describing are also thrown out of whack. The drug, in higher doses, has a high chance of causing an overdose, or even stopping someone's heart. The drug is so powerful that even trace amounts of sweat is enough to affect someone. This means sexual activity is out of the question.
Other: his is the first time I ever did a transgendered character and I feel like I'm going to offend everyone. Theresa has a compound bow and arrow kit she keeps in her room. Unless she needs to, she won't be walking around with it, however, she uses it in conjunction with her power. Either covering an arrowhead in some fluids. Theresa has been going to the school for 4 years.

Abilities
Power Class: Chemical 6, Super-System 5.
Power: Narcotic Breath & Fluids. Drugs, drugs, drugs. Everyone loves them, and Theresa here is a walking factory. To be specific, Theresa's bodily fluids and breath are powerful hallucinogenic, sedative, and medical drugs. In order for it to work, it has to come in contact with another human being (It can touch the skin, or ingested, doesn't matter), it is instantly absorbed into the body. The effects of the drug are euphoria, body-wide physical pleasure, sedation, reduction of pain, hallucinations (Psychedelic in nature), removal of contaminants (Bacteria, Poison, Diseases, etc), and will heal wounds. The severity of these effects are, predictably, dependent on dosage. For example, a lick from Tess would render someone incoherent, taking a puff of her breath will cause someone to feel a little tingly, and a lot of her blood spilling on someone would be a high unlike no other. The drug is not addictive in the slightest. However, people can overdose if given too much of it. Theresa can learn how to alter the effect of her drug, such as it's only effect being healing, or perhaps make her fluids poisonous. It's hard but she'll gradually learn how to do it it.Theresa is immune to the some of the effects of her drug, along with the effects of all foreign chemicals and contaminants (Poison, diseases, bacteria, etc) merely because the drug flowing through her cancels them out.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Theresa's own power screws with her own natural chemicals. Specifically the part that produces natural painkillers. She has a far lower pain tolerance, and is far more susceptible to pain. Other chemicals I don't feel like describing are also thrown out of whack. The drug, in higher doses, has a high chance of causing an overdose, or even stopping someone's heart. The drug is so powerful that even trace amounts of sweat is enough to affect someone. This means sexual activity is out of the question.
Other: his is the first time I ever did a transgendered character and I feel like I'm going to offend everyone. Theresa has a compound bow and arrow kit she keeps in her room. Unless she needs to, she won't be walking around with it, however, she uses it in conjunction with her power. Either covering an arrowhead in some fluids. Theresa has been going to the school for 4 years.

Basic Information
Name: Dana Lucille Alcott
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Grue
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Height: 5'4 ft
Weight: 142 lb
Status: Full student
Appearance
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue
Ethnicity: Caucasian - British, French, Danish, and Polish are in her blood
Physical Appearance: Dana is a very mousy and petite young woman. She has a very nerdy, librarian, feel to her. Due to her glasses, and curly near-afro. One of the first things people notice about Dana is that she's paraplegic. She uses a wheel chair to move about. Because she's in a wheel chair, she hasn't been able to workout as much as she could. She has put on some weight, despite her best efforts not to. She has a little bit of a beer-gut, which she tries to conceal under heavy clothing. Other than that, her arms aren't too chubby, from all the extra work she does with them. She doesn't have the best posture, usually she's slouched in her wheelchair. Dana is a little bit below average height (Though, you wouldn't notice unless she stands straight up), at 5'4, and is a bit more plump than for er height, weighing in at 142. Dana is caucasian, she is American, but she has multiple European countries in her blood. You can see from her somewhat European facial features. Dana's skin is a beige white color, and pretty fair. Because of her lifestyle, she lived a life of being closed off the world, so she didn't get a chance to get too many injuries. She does have a noticeable scar on her cheek from a time her wheel chair tumbled over. There's also massive scar on her arm that starts at her shoulder and goes to her elbow. Like it was ripped open. Dana is said to be a very attractive young girl, not at supermodel standards, but is pretty. Dana has distinctly European facial features. She has a heart shaped head, and very pronounced and squared facial features. She has these large and beady eyes, that are a bright blue color, people find them slightly creepy. Dana has a triangle shaped nose, with a thin nose bridge, and a wide nose. She has large, narrow, ears, that are usually hidden underneath her shaggy afro. Dana's jaw is low and sleek, she has a fairly sharp jawline and a large blocky chin. Dana's hair is dark-black color, clean, and is very curly. She has a shaggy hairstyle that is almost like an afro, but not too big or silly. Sometimes she puts flowers into her hair.
Attire: Dana dresses very modestly. Like someone decades older than her. She covers skin, and wears long, conservative skirts. Sometimes even seen wearing dresses. She likes to wear a variety of hats. Sun hats, fedoras, etc, etc. Whatever makes her feel stylish. Dana wears thin-framed glasses, since she has a stigmatism in her eyes.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Dana is quite polite and well-spoken. She is nice to whoever approaches her, and keeps the conversation going. She is extremely morale, she would never consider hurting anyone unjustly. Though, she is nervous, and a little shy around other people. A bit closed off and introverted. She keeps her emotions and opinions bottled up and to herself. Dana is a bit of a doormat, she's easy to push around and beat up. Due to her current disability she can't properly defend herself (Despite the fact that she has a deadly power) and requires assistance most of the time. She's not even good at insulting people. One thing that drives Dana up the wall is when people treat her like he's helpless because she's in a wheel chair. She'll do her best to prove her worth. In terms of sexuality, Dana is straight.
Hobbies/Interests: Music, video games, art, that kind of stuff.
Skills/Talents: Since she's crippled, sports are out of the question. Dana has taken up some other hobbies to bide her time. Dana has taken to devote herself to becoming a singer. She has very good vocal control, and can sing quite well. She also knows how to use a few instruments. She knows how to play the violin, piano, and the harp. Dana is also an artist, who is quite talented with a pencil. Dana has also spent a bit of her time around electronics, specifically computers. She knows her way around today's electronics. She's also talented at video games.
Prized Possession: A locket she received from her late-grandmother.
Quote(s): "It's dark in here... Can you... can you see me...?"
History/Bio: Dana had a disadvantage before she was even born. She was cursed with a malformed spine which made it impossible for her to use her legs. A few months after she was born, her mother left her with her father, Andy Alcott, and it was the last time they ever heard from her. It was believed that she didn't want to raise a disabled child. Life certainly wasn't easy for Dana, but since she was born crippled, she didn't have to make the sudden adjustment from walking to a wheelchair. Her father kept the funds coming in because he was the Principal at a local high-school. That said, she lived a life normal enough for her. She went to school, but never really fit in with the other kids. They were running around at recces, and she was... just there. She was bullied quite often, merely because she couldn't fight back, but no matter how many people harassed her, she always found a friend in someone. It was one of the things that molded Dana. Her father, and friends, made her realize that she could be better than that, and not to resent things. She matured a little faster than girls her age, where children were fast, energetic, and fun loving, she was slow, steady, and mature. She focused on the one thing she could, academics - That, and video games. She spent a great deal of her time learning about anything she could, going to the library fairly frequently. Knowledge was just something that interested her. With this mindset, Dana advanced and advanced, going from first grade, to fifth grade. Dana found out that some things just never change. The same bullying that happened since she was in first grade still occurred except more harsh than before. Dana had already built up an emotional resistance to it by then by keeping in mind that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, and it was all the same.
Dana's powers at unexpectedly developed when she was eleven. In a not so good way. She went to sleep a normal girl, then woke up an abomination. It was... horrifying. An experience like nothing else, worse for a girl her age who didn't quite know what happened. It was so shocking that it took away Dana's ability to move, let alone scream. When she did managed to make a sound, she made a loud, inhuman sound, that caught the attention of her father. He came in with a weapon, believing his daughter was in danger - But the second she came in slight, she was normal as she should have been. She couldn't believe her eyes. Dana wanted to chalk it off as just a dream, but her father knew it was something else. He wasn't personally experienced in the world of Meta-humans, but he was versed enough to tell that Dana might be a Meta-human. The second he left, she changed again in an instant, and ran into the same situation as before - Which confirmed her father's suspicions.
After a sleepless night (for both of them) Dana's father had to find someone who could help Dana. Since public schools won't be able to help his daughter. Her father became interested in the many Academies for Super humans that are scattered around the world - But, he didn't want his daughter to be in any but the best Academies that would be well-equipped to handle his daughter. So he spent a few years pulling strings, and doing favors, to get his daughter into the most prestigious school, Academy 218. But it was terror for Dana. Every time he turned his head, she became a monster. Which made her desperately want to be the center of everyone's attention.
But, it was something she became used to. Something she realized was a power, a gift she could say. She stopped fearing it by the time she was twelve, an impressive few months since she's triggered. She experimented with it, and realized all the things she was capable. Movement unlike before, she was already capable of movement no human girl should be. She had the personal theory that she could even walk. She had the appendages needed for it. So, she tried walking while transformed, it wasn't as hard as she thought, but she managed to teach herself to walk. It wasn't something she expected. Standing straight up, without her wheel chair. Something incredible. What was even more interesting was how fast she could go. Right off the bat she ran fast as cars. Dana told her father about this development, and he was quite pleased that she was getting used to it. Since she had to basically deal with two puberties. At once. But there was always the uneasy feeling from being such a creature whenever nobody was looking at it.
Roughly a year later, Academy 218 had sent her an invitation, which she gladly accepted and was shipped off there. It was a strange place, among the strangers that were just like her, but at the same time different. She had quickly learned that her disability would be the least abnormal thing here. At first, she was intimidated by them, being a lone girl in a wheelchair. But she learned that many of them weren't so different from her, and she formed relations with them (The people like Henry, Vera, and others). She was still bullied from time to time. Her power had also developed around that time, her speed had reached even higher levels, however it was difficult for her to train her ability. By the end of the school year, she had returned home a different person. For the better. She was ecstatic to return there.
After a heartfelt talk with her father, Dana decided that she'd make the change to a Full Student, and the Academy basically became her home. She left the island from time to time, such as Christmas, but generally spent most of her time there. Dana became a guide for the kinder new students. Helping them get acquainted with the school, and telling them all she can. Becoming one of the student that were known for being helpful. Because of this, she became close friends with Terry Obott, who, with her encouragement came out transgendered. They have been close since. Dana graduated high-school with flying colors and entered the college courses for computer science. Dana is attending her second year of college.
Family: Dana has a fairly small family. It was just her father, Andy Alcott, and herself. She never knew her mother, her father tells her stories about her mother sometimes. There's also her father's extended family which involves his parents, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews, and cousins.

Abilities
Power Class: Other 8
Power: Unseen Monster Transformation. Whenever Dana is out of sight, she instantly transforms into an extremely fast predator. Something that appears so wrong that she needs to be out of sight to transform. In this form, Dana will be able to move at lightning fast speeds, so fast that it can interpreted as teleportation. Fast enough that she can break someone's neck before they even have the chance to blink. This form is also pretty agile on top of that. Capable of wall crawling, and other inhuman feats of agility. If Dana moves at just the right speed, she can be really hard to hear - Since there's no footsteps, only a slithering sound. This form has an enhanced physical attributes, enhanced strength, and durability. It's also suspected that she has extra-limbs like tentacles, or extra arms. It is also believed that she has claws. Dana's alternate form possesses a regenerative factor. Any wounds Dana sustained are transferred to her alternate form, and she quickly regenerates them. Dana has superior night-vision regardless of the form she's in.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Dana's power relies on being out of sight, if she's in sight, she's basically human as they get. Since she's in a wheelchair she won't be that mobile, nor threatening, to begin with. If she's caught without her wheelchair, she'll be a sitting duck. She can still be detected by either extra, or enhanced, senses. But long as she's not physically seen, she'll remain in her alternate form - However, if any ability can make out her shape, that'll make her revert back. Dana's regeneration has the basic regeneration weaknesses (Can't heal from brain damage, fatal wounds, etc, etc) but it basically only works when she is out of sight. If someone is looking at her while she's regenerating, she'll stop once she reverts back (But, the wound will be healed). Dana has a weakness to mirrors. If she is viewed through a mirror, she will be paralyzed and completely helpless until eyes are averted. From Dana's eyes, she goes into a coma-like state, until she's snapped back to normal. Dana can also be kept in human form by being near to anything that depicts her (Pictures, accurate drawings, etc). It works like a field, I could say, while she's in the field, she'll be completely human, and once she leaves it, she can transform again. It's range is around twenty or so feet. Cameras can also prove a bit of a problem, she can transform while a camera is viewing her (She's invisible when recorded - Don't ask, magic) but if someone is watching it, she'll stay human or revert back to normal.
Other: Longtime student at the Academy, she has been attending for seven years. Dana has been crippled for all her life because of a birth/spinal defect. However, because her spinal cord isn't broken, she is not completely paralyzed. She can still feel her legs, and could move them to a degree (Her legs had atrophied to the point of uselessness). She can give birth, move her toes, and so on. She just can't walk.

Dana's regeneration has the basic regeneration weaknesses (Can't heal from brain damage, fatal wounds, etc, etc) but it basically only works when she is out of sight. If someone is looking at her while she's regenerating, she'll stop once she reverts back (But, the wound will be healed). Dana has a weakness to mirrors. If she is viewed through a mirror, she will be paralyzed and completely helpless until eyes are averted. From Dana's eyes, she goes into a coma-like state, until she's snapped back to normal. Dana can also be kept in human form by being near to anything that depicts her (Pictures, accurate drawings, etc). It works like a field, I could say, while she's in the field, she'll be completely human, and once she leaves it, she can transform again. It's range is around twenty or so feet. Cameras can also prove a bit of a problem, she can transform while a camera is viewing her (She's invisible when recorded - Don't ask, magic) but if someone is watching it, she'll stay human or revert back to normal.
Other: Longtime student at the Academy, she has been attending for seven years. Dana has been crippled for all her life because of a birth/spinal defect. However, because her spinal cord isn't broken, she is not completely paralyzed. She can still feel her legs, and could move them to a degree (Her legs had atrophied to the point of uselessness). She can give birth, move her toes, and so on. She just can't walk.

Basic Information
Name: Adam Leo Blackmore
Nickname/Alias/Etc: The All-Father
Gender: Male
Age: 48
Height: 5'8
Weight: 164
Status: Teacher, Power Instructor
Appearance
Hair Color: Prematurely Grey hair, formerly Black. He still has a few strands of black hair here and there.
Eye Color: Hazel
Ethnicity: British
Physical Appearance: Adam is a very aged man. When people look at him, they get the idea that he'd easily fit well into the "wise old man" cliche. Adam moves slow and steady, and with constant restraint with every step. His face is covered in aged wrinkles, and he usually has a mature stare in his eyes. Despite his aged appearance; he's actually in good shape for a man his age. He's a bit pudgy around the mid-section, but otherwise, he's has high stamina and looks good. His shoulders are broad, not in the muscular sense. Adam's sort of a few inches under the average male height (5'8 ), being dwarfed by some of his children, and others. Then again, his arms and legs are quite long, making up a good deal of his height. Adam is Caucasian, British in fact, with a beige skin tone, that has plenty of wrinkles and rolls here and there. He's been in quite a bit of action over the years, mainly due to his ability. He has a few scars on his body, with the most being on his arms and legs. None of them are too notable, and are well concealed under his outfit. Otherwise, his skin is mostly clear.
Adam has a very mature and weathered face. Adam has squared, and pronounced facial features. He didn't age badly, but in his youth, he was much better looking. He's not hard to look at, or overwhelmingly beautiful, would be putting it in better words. Adam has a inverted-rectangle shaped head. He has a very strong, thick, jawline. With a medium-sized chin, that sticks out a bit away from his face, and a subtle cleft. He has a very large forehead, and it is very, very big. With wrinkles and everything. Adam's cheekbones stick out a bit, and are quite noticeable once one examines his facial features. His nose is a little larger than average, his nose-bridge is thick, and his nostrils are very wide, with the tip of his nose being dull. Adam's ears are very round, medium-sized, and point outward. Adam's eyes are a hazel color, and are a little small. They're thin, but they're fairly round. Adam's hair is prematurely graying, most of his hair now is grey, but there are some notable strands of black hair if one is observant enough. It adds to that mature man vibe people get from him. Adam has short, well-groomed, straight hair. He keeps his hair combed over his head in a fancy manner. Adam also has a thick manly beard, it's styled like a duck-beard.
Attire: Adam dresses very fancily, when out on the Academy. He usually is seen wearing any kind of suit (Usually a black pinstriped suit), and a fedora. Sometimes he'll wear a coat. Dressing professionally as possible. When he's alone in his room, he usually dresses causally and remarkably as anyone else. More than often enough, Adam is seen walking around with a heavy book in his hand. Adam is near-sighted. Thus he needs glasses to see. So he wears round, wire-y frame, glasses.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: A hard-working and logical man. Adam has the mind-set and mentality of a leader. Having been a patriarch of a rather large family for quite awhile - Plus adding teacher for the Academy for several years. Adam is quite well disciplined and shows a super-humanly large amount of restraint. To say the least, Adam uses his head, and always chooses the best options. He'll always put people at large before himself. Adam has plenty of experience in many fields. Such as dealing with people, super-powers, and he's even faced a few super-villains in the past. Since he's been a teacher at the Academy for X amount of years, he's also quite experienced with dealing with the students. Whether they're starting fights, or getting a little too overzealous, he knows how to handle them quite well. He's the type that'd stick his nose into their business if he feels that he needs to. Since he has the authority to do so, they can't really complain. In conversation, Adam is a nice and endearing man. He treats people fairly, and never says ill about people. He acts mature and professional all the time - Being a bit of a hardass. Adam also rarely gets into arguments with people, he'll never be seen saying anything harsh about people - Regardless of what they're doing to him. Speaking of which; he almost never swears. Adam usually acts calm, but he can be extremely annoyed easily. Mainly by people who act arrogant and egotistical. He can also get quite pissed off when pushed far enough. Forcing himself to yell at people, pointing at their many flaws without mercy. To him; it's constructive critism.
Adam tends to act a little condescending when it comes to the students, and well, young people in general. He treats them like they're kinds. Little idealists that are too green to actually get anything meaningful done. He usually will take charge when they think they do, and will be quick to remind them who's knows best. He also has a bit of a habit of taking what those younger than him say at a little less value. Which can cost him, if they're telling the truth. To say the least, he doesn't respect teenagers. There are a few, and I mean few, students he'll trust and treat with uttermost respect, but they're hard to come across.
Hobbies/Interests: Adam is quite the fan of books and reading. He's always seen with a book for a reason. He likes to read older books, those made in the 1900's era. Because those are the best to him. He will read any book really. In general Adam likes his entertainment about crime/police/detectives and mystery.
Skills/Talents: Adam is a determined, logical man, that knows people quite well. Which makes him perfect for the teacher position he's been assigned. In addition to that Adam has great social skills. He knows the school quite well, and can easily find his way around.
Prized Possession: His collection of books.

Abilities
Power Class: Power 8
Power: Observational Power-Replication. Like the many Blackmores before him, Adam has a form of power replication. It runs in his blood, and the creator's love for this specific power. Like the others, he has his own special form of it. Basically, he copies powers from people by observing the power in action, and it's effects. However, he won't get the entire power at once. What he sees is what he copies. It might sound confusing - But here's an example. Say we have a pryomancer, and he shoots a f*ckload of flames, while many other fire powers are in his potential; Adam will only be able to shoot fire, until he sees more. Once Adam does see more, then he can copy more traits of the ability, until he completely copies the power. Passive powers can also be copied by Adam. He just needs to know the person's ability, focus on them, and he'll copy it. The strength of the copied ability will depend on how much Adam has observed. The more he observes, the stronger the ability will get - Until it matches the original in terms of strength. However, Adam will get a mutated form of the power, different from the original in some ways. In which ways the ability is mutated is random, in a way. When someone uses their power, Adam will intuitively understand how it works, and understand their power at a level that they probably won't. He'll also know if someone's using even the most subtle of all powers. Adam can store up to five powers (Complete or not) inside of him at once. When he chooses to start copying another power, he'll discard one power of choice. It is also possible for Adam to use two powers at once. However, it's more of him being capable of using one support/passive power and one power that's activated at the same time. In order for Adam to use a different power, he has to swap it out with another. Adam will start off with Telepathy, and Air/Wind Manipulation.
Air Manipulation. Aerokinesis, Adam has control over air within a 25-meter range. He can do the basic airbender techniques of moving air in a variety of forms (Gusts of wind, tornadoes, etc), but he is also capable of controlling air on a deeper level - Controlling the temperature of air, interfering with elements that use air as a medium, limited telekinesis/flight. He is incredibly skilled with this power, and his knowledge of air allows him to pull off a few techniques (Minor-sound manipulation, flight, and so on).
Telepathy. Not much to go on about this ability. It's the basic telepathic ability. He has a mid-tier telepathy ability capable of reading thoughts, sending them, mental attacks, and minor alterations of the mind.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Adam is still afflicted by the two standard Blackmore weaknesses. Beat him enough, and he'll lose all powers. He also won't know how to use a power off the bat. Now with that out of the way, time for the drawbacks specific to him. At the start, his copied power will be weak as hell, and it'll take him awhile before it gets stronger. To get his power stronger, Adam will need to observe the original owner using the ability. He can't build up on someone else using the ability - Even if it's the exact same power. You could also be clever and blind his @ss and make this power absolutely useless!
Other: Adam is a long-time teacher at Academy 218. He teaches the Elemental-type students, and will give lessons once requested.

Basic Information
Name: Shannon Jacqueline Balore
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Silkworm
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Height: 5'7
Weight: 142
Status: Returning Student
Appearance
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Brown
Ethnicity: Irish and Israeli
Physical Appearance: Shannon is a low, nerdy looking teen, the glasses she wears does not help. Her most prominent feature is her red ginger hair, which is curly and back length. Not kept in a particular style. Shannon isn't super attractive, she's kinda pretty, but she isn't going to win any beauty pageants. Some of the boys call her cute. Shannon, ethnicity-wise, is Irish, if the hair didn't give that away, and Israeli. Her father supplies the Irish, and her mommy gives her the Israeli. If that wasn't obvious enough (!) she is Caucasian, her skin is a pale color, like the kind of person who spends a lot of time in front of the computer and could use a little sunshine. Her face has plenty of obvious freckles, while her face has some freckles, her upper body has the most, though. Her frame/figure shows a bit of that too, she is skinny like a person who doesn't do too much work, but she has a little bit of body fat packed in the stomach area. Nothing her heavy clothes can't conceal. Shannon's skin isn't perfect... If her pale complexion didn't give that much away. She has plenty of blemishes, stretch marks, and her face has a few pimples here and there. She hasn't done in life to warrant more than a few scars, so her body is remarkable free of them. Shannon's nose is kinda crooked from getting broken a few times, and the few scars she does have are on her face from fights she got into. Shannon's head is rectangle shaped, with rounded facial features. She has high cheekbones, and, large, smooth, and round, cheeks. She has a comically small, triangle-shaped, nose, that is hooked at the tip somewhat. Her lips aren't thick, full, nor feminine, they're small and thin, more at home on a boy. Shannon's ears are medium sized and very round.
Attire: Shannon prefers to dress heavily, and comfortably, with loose clothes that don't stick to her in the slightest. However, her outfit tends to be brightly colored or flashy. She can make her own clothes, and what she makes tends to be on par with designer clothes. Clothes with beautiful patterns, embroidered with pictures, anything that she thinks is fabulous. It gives people the impression that she is a rich girl. She likes to wear jewelry, like bracelets, and rings, usually this is the cheap, dollar-store, brand of jewelry. Then, of course, there's her wide variety of thick-framed glasses. She either wears round, and more squarish glasses.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Shannon isn't introverted, anti-social, nor shy. A bit of an asshole, yes, but none of those things. Shannon is incredibly cynical, jaded, and pessimistic. She rarely sees the good in things, and always thinks that nobody is nice "just because they are". She's very intelligent and observant. She tends to think things through well, she's good at making educated guesses, going off all the information she has. She's accurate most of the time. Though she has a habit of over thinking when she needs to act. To say the least, she always has her guard up at all times. In conversation, she is very snarky, sassy, and doesn't shy away from giving her opinion at every possible moment. Though, she tries not to sound like total bitch and make enemies. She tends to have the belief that every person she meets is an idiot, until proven otherwise, that is. She tends come off as condescending, though Shannon tries her damn best not to sound arrogant. She has plenty of views on current "issues" like LGBT rights, the various wars going on, and the headline stories. However, she is very passionate about her views, and won't hesitate to argue with people who have different views. In truth, Shannon generally likes to appear as if she's a super intelligent. Not hesitating to spot information, say big words, and generally acting smarter than everyone else. She tries hard to look like she's clever, when she really isn't. This has caused her a bit of problems when she messes up. She's very protective of the people she cares about. Friends, family, etc, she treats. Shannon has a bit of a temper, a very short one. When people annoy/aggravate her, even in the slightest, she tends to make it known that she doesn't like them. Because, in her eyes, she's not here to make friends with everyone, and if you're arrogant, or an asshole, then you're obviously not worth her time. She'll cut all ties with people she dislikes fast as possible, and never give them a second thought. Sexuality-wise, Shannon is a lesbian, and she's proud. She is out of the closest, and doesn't hesitate to tell boys that come to flirt with her (To get rid of them).
Hobbies/Interests: N/A
Skills/Talents: Intelligent, observant, naturally a detective, can speak French, good at weaving clothes, overflowing sass levels and extremely snarky.
Prized Possession: There is no item that Shannon truly treasures.
Quote: "Oh, you're mad? Sorry that you couldn't match me in wits and had to resort to violence."
History/Bio: Shannon was born to a rather good life. Being the bastard daughter of her father O'Connor Balore, and her mother Avigail Durtang, whom quickly got married a few years after she was born. They each had rather modest jobs that granted her family with plenty of money to support them, and eventually indulge them in their hobbies - But they weren't rich. So in a way, Shannon lived in the upper-middle class. Nice house, plenty of nice people to be around, and everything was nice and dandy. Shannon was sent to school aiming to be above average. Her parents nurtured this growth in intelligence after and before school, but they didn't push her too far. It was just an activity they made her do so their daughter was. They tried to make it seem less of work, and more of something fun, and it quickly became something Shannon showed off to other kids - Something that made her better than them. This is how Shannon got rather close to her parents. While getting close to a teacher of hers named Reagan Boyer, whom her parents were friends with. Even after she left kindergarten, she continued to talk to him, and was someone she strives to be, the smartest person she knew.
There isn't much else to say about Shannon's early life other than she continued to grow and mature. However, at the age of eight, her powers had developed, or rather, she had discovered them. She was in the middle of a birthday party for the child of one of her father's Co-workers, and she had gotten into a small scuffle with a rather aggressive boy. Whom targeted her merely because she had red hair, and tried to pull it out. Shannon freaked out, and every piece of fabric in a good twenty foot radius had been warped and twisted into rather twisted constructs. Shannon and the boy's clothes were destroyed completely, leaving them both nude. Her parents had hauled them out. Not a soul knew what the hell happened, there was enough evidence to connect Shannon to it as everyone else.
However, after that, Shannon discovered that she had an affinity with fabrics. It wasn't anything special, she noticed that fabrics moved to her rhythm. She experimented a bit, and realized that it was all out control over fabrics. She could move them like the traditional elemental type. Shannon came to her parents with this news, and they honestly didn't renounce her or deem her a "freak". They were not oblivious to the world of Meta-humans, and accepted their daughter for what she truly is. But they highly recommended that she uses this power behind closed doors, just out of fear of the people who didn't understand it. So it became a bit of a hobby of hers, along with the rest of her activities, training this ability to it's fullest extent. Learning the ins and outs of this ability, and becoming a master seamstress by default.
She occasionally went to her old teacher Reagan for advice, who was a Meta-human himself (Ceramic Manipulation), and the only other. He taught her a few things, gave her a few pointers. He told Shannon that she could come up with some very creative uses with her power. All she had to do was think outside the box. Reagan acted as a mentor-figure for Shannon's training. Along with teaching her a few moves of his own that could be translated from ceramic to clothing.
Life was going rather smoothly for Shannon. By the time she was ten, she had gotten quite a grasp on her power. She had already learned how to create outfits in a few minutes, and had expanded her control beyond just fabrics. She strived to improve this power even further, and she gotten plenty of opportunities to do so by simple practices such as repairing an outfit, to changing an outfit all together. Just chalking it all up to her being . Her age having double-digits opened up a few opportunities for her. In terms of academies. Personally, she didn't want to participate in sports, and rather focused on her school work and training her power. Though, while in school, she wasn't the type to get along with people that well. She was already quite condescending towards virtually everyone. Shannon had already gotten the firm belief that most people were simply not worth her time, or too much of a mouth breather that they were beyond saving. But her intelligence was something that made other people think she was a simple stepping stone. They made her think she was their friend, only to reveal they only wanted to use her to cheat at tests and ease their way through school. This was simply a catalyst for her belief that everyone wants something, and made her more distant from other people. She made few friends that shared similar beliefs to her.
But her life had changed drastically by the time she was fourteen, beginning puberty. Shannon came home one day, and found her father drinking heavily, crying with his face in his hands. She learned what had happened while she was at school... Reagan had brutally raped and killed Shannon's mother - Apparently having harbored an obsessive desire over Shannon's mother. Using the information he had gotten from Shannon to learn about when and where she'll be, and when no one would be around to. Shannon couldn't possibly understand what happened, and went into a state of shock... Just locking herself into her own room, and never wanting to come out. She was horribly depressed, her entire world had collapsed in on itself. She just couldn't handle it anymore. This was a catalyst for her cynical attitude. One of the people she could trust most used that against her, and killed the one person she was close to. She had gotten the mindset that everyone wants something, no one is truly "nice", and always had something sneaky. It felt like days before Shannon left her room.
Shannon's father went to alcohol in order to cope, he honestly couldn't help his daughter. He got an addiction, but learned of how far he's fallen. He had to take Shannon away, and be alone with his thoughts. Before this tragedy went down, Shannon had received an invitation to Academy 218. Shannon really didn't want to get sent away, but her father forced her to. He carted her over to the boat, and she was sent on a rather long cruise-ride to the Academy. Mother killed, and sent away to a school when she truly wanted to be close to her father was not a good combination for the rather unstable Shannon.
Once she arrived, it was all so different to Shannon. She had only known one superhuman other than herself, but a whole school of them? That was something unexpected, but she had zero interest in it all. It was all the same thing, but with powers. She felt like she was abandoned here. The second Shannon got to her room, she locked herself off. Keeping herself locked off... Until she had met her room mate, Deborah Termellio, a first year student that was almost the same age as her. Deborah understood her thoughts, knew how she felt, and tried to help her, only to get pushed away by Shannon. Whom automatically assumed she had some ulterior motive. Though, Deborah was the only person whom Shannon knew in this alien place, she had no choice but to stick with her. Over time, she had opened herself up to Deborah, and the girl acted as the therapist that Shannon had never gotten. Being the person whose's shoulder Shannon cried on.
Through this, Shannon had gradually stopped leaving herself closed off from the world. She introduced herself to other people, and became acquainted to the colorful student body of the 218... But her opinion of everyone quickly became jaded. She saw everyone as worse than they were in regular school. To Shannon; hey were a bunch of arrogant jackasses that would be worthless without their powers, annoying as all hell, sociopaths, or she had suspected them of malicious intent. To her, she was something that was better than them. A pure light that saw the world, and it's people, for what it really is. She didn't make any attempt not to show people how she really felt, nice or not. This didn't give her a good reputation among the school. She was either neutral/mixed or downright hated. However, there was one person she could confide in, Deborah, her room mate had become her Secret Keeper. They've gotten closer to anyone else here.
Shannon was developing feelings for Deborah... but by the time she could explore them, the school year had ended and Shannon was sent home - Though, they made sure to keep it contact through phone conversations, Skype, and Facebook. Her opinion of her father had severely degraded, to the point where she downright rejected him, not saying a word to him - He had improved to, and respected her enough to give her space. She just enjoyed her summer... feeling better than she did when she received the news. Though, she couldn't wait to be sent back to that school.
It came soon enough when Shannon had begun her new school year, and she was sent back... Disappointed that she wasn't sharing rooms with Deborah, she was sharing rooms with a new student. Shannon kept her at arms length and continued to mingle with Deborah. This school year didn't yeld any interesting events, it was just the logical turn of events. Her opinion and perception of the school had changed for the worse, until she began calling it hell. But, her power had improved greatly. She had learned that she could control everything clothing was made with. Though, spending time with Deborah had finally made her admit her feelings for her, and Deborah returned them... But she wasn't quite ready to leave the closet. She even adopted a fake boyfriend. While Shannon was at school, her father had finally gotten over the death of his wife, and found another. Shannon came home one time and learned her father was engaged to a woman she never met.... A side-effect of being so closed off from her father.
Over the course of a year, Shannon's father had married, and was already starting a new family with his new wife. In a few years, she had several new siblings to learn to hate. Making Shannon feel ultimately unwanted, like a relic of a past he'd rather bury. Which caused a bit of a dilemma for Shannon since she wanted nothing to do with her father, but she only really went to the Academy to see Deborah in person.
As years went by, Shannon finally graduated from school at Academy 218, and went into it's college course for Fashion... God gave her this power, and she might as well put it to use.

Abilities
Power Class: Elemental 6
Power: Clothing Manipulation. The basic idea behind Shannon's power is that she can manipulate clothing. In actuality, Shannon can manipulate all fabrics, fibers, cloth, cotton, and silk, along with the ability to control, leather, latex, small metals, plastic, and rubber - But she cannot control it as well. She can telekinetically move these materials, along with freely shape and alter it's properties. Shannon can weave outfits on the fly, or use clothing offensively by turning an opponent's outfit against them. She can alter the tensile-strength of certain materials. She can make a single strand of silk have more strength than steel, and make any outfit bullet proof. She would need some time to reinforce the outfit. This power is pretty versatile, and Shannon is clever enough to come up with a lot of uses with it. Enough to go toe to toe with the stronger students.
Abilities in her potential are...
Hair-Manipulation. Shannon will gain complete control of the hair of herself and others. She can alter, grow out, chance texture, color, etc., shape and manipulate it as if it was appendage, weave the hair into different shapes, etc. Along with the ability to alter the tensile strength of hair.
Make-up Manipulation. Shannon will be able to telekinetically control various make up products (Eye-shadow, Lipstick, Mascara and so on). Whether it has been applied or not.
Jewelry Manipulation. An extension of her clothing manipulation, she can control jewelry, specially the metal and gemstones. This power is limited to only moving it.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: For starters, Shannon can't pull clothes out her ass, while it's pretty much everywhere, there might not be enough resources for her to work with all the time. In any case, fire and corrosive elements can easily destroy the clothes she's manipulating. Shannon's power has an effective-range of around twenty-five meters, she has difficulties using her powers outside this range. While she can pretty much make an outfit knife/bullet proof, it won't stop a punch or a really hard blow.

Name: Shannon Jacqueline Balore
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Silkworm
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Height: 5'7
Weight: 142
Status: Returning Student
Appearance
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Brown
Ethnicity: Irish and Israeli
Physical Appearance: Shannon is a low, nerdy looking teen, the glasses she wears does not help. Her most prominent feature is her red ginger hair, which is curly and back length. Not kept in a particular style. Shannon isn't super attractive, she's kinda pretty, but she isn't going to win any beauty pageants. Some of the boys call her cute. Shannon, ethnicity-wise, is Irish, if the hair didn't give that away, and Israeli. Her father supplies the Irish, and her mommy gives her the Israeli. If that wasn't obvious enough (!) she is Caucasian, her skin is a pale color, like the kind of person who spends a lot of time in front of the computer and could use a little sunshine. Her face has plenty of obvious freckles, while her face has some freckles, her upper body has the most, though. Her frame/figure shows a bit of that too, she is skinny like a person who doesn't do too much work, but she has a little bit of body fat packed in the stomach area. Nothing her heavy clothes can't conceal. Shannon's skin isn't perfect... If her pale complexion didn't give that much away. She has plenty of blemishes, stretch marks, and her face has a few pimples here and there. She hasn't done in life to warrant more than a few scars, so her body is remarkable free of them. Shannon's nose is kinda crooked from getting broken a few times, and the few scars she does have are on her face from fights she got into. Shannon's head is rectangle shaped, with rounded facial features. She has high cheekbones, and, large, smooth, and round, cheeks. She has a comically small, triangle-shaped, nose, that is hooked at the tip somewhat. Her lips aren't thick, full, nor feminine, they're small and thin, more at home on a boy. Shannon's ears are medium sized and very round.
Attire: Shannon prefers to dress heavily, and comfortably, with loose clothes that don't stick to her in the slightest. However, her outfit tends to be brightly colored or flashy. She can make her own clothes, and what she makes tends to be on par with designer clothes. Clothes with beautiful patterns, embroidered with pictures, anything that she thinks is fabulous. It gives people the impression that she is a rich girl. She likes to wear jewelry, like bracelets, and rings, usually this is the cheap, dollar-store, brand of jewelry. Then, of course, there's her wide variety of thick-framed glasses. She either wears round, and more squarish glasses.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Shannon isn't introverted, anti-social, nor shy. A bit of an asshole, yes, but none of those things. Shannon is incredibly cynical, jaded, and pessimistic. She rarely sees the good in things, and always thinks that nobody is nice "just because they are". She's very intelligent and observant. She tends to think things through well, she's good at making educated guesses, going off all the information she has. She's accurate most of the time. Though she has a habit of over thinking when she needs to act. To say the least, she always has her guard up at all times. In conversation, she is very snarky, sassy, and doesn't shy away from giving her opinion at every possible moment. Though, she tries not to sound like total bitch and make enemies. She tends to have the belief that every person she meets is an idiot, until proven otherwise, that is. She tends come off as condescending, though Shannon tries her damn best not to sound arrogant. She has plenty of views on current "issues" like LGBT rights, the various wars going on, and the headline stories. However, she is very passionate about her views, and won't hesitate to argue with people who have different views. In truth, Shannon generally likes to appear as if she's a super intelligent. Not hesitating to spot information, say big words, and generally acting smarter than everyone else. She tries hard to look like she's clever, when she really isn't. This has caused her a bit of problems when she messes up. She's very protective of the people she cares about. Friends, family, etc, she treats. Shannon has a bit of a temper, a very short one. When people annoy/aggravate her, even in the slightest, she tends to make it known that she doesn't like them. Because, in her eyes, she's not here to make friends with everyone, and if you're arrogant, or an asshole, then you're obviously not worth her time. She'll cut all ties with people she dislikes fast as possible, and never give them a second thought. Sexuality-wise, Shannon is a lesbian, and she's proud. She is out of the closest, and doesn't hesitate to tell boys that come to flirt with her (To get rid of them).
Hobbies/Interests: N/A
Skills/Talents: Intelligent, observant, naturally a detective, can speak French, good at weaving clothes, overflowing sass levels and extremely snarky.
Prized Possession: There is no item that Shannon truly treasures.
Quote: "Oh, you're mad? Sorry that you couldn't match me in wits and had to resort to violence."
History/Bio: Shannon was born to a rather good life. Being the bastard daughter of her father O'Connor Balore, and her mother Avigail Durtang, whom quickly got married a few years after she was born. They each had rather modest jobs that granted her family with plenty of money to support them, and eventually indulge them in their hobbies - But they weren't rich. So in a way, Shannon lived in the upper-middle class. Nice house, plenty of nice people to be around, and everything was nice and dandy. Shannon was sent to school aiming to be above average. Her parents nurtured this growth in intelligence after and before school, but they didn't push her too far. It was just an activity they made her do so their daughter was. They tried to make it seem less of work, and more of something fun, and it quickly became something Shannon showed off to other kids - Something that made her better than them. This is how Shannon got rather close to her parents. While getting close to a teacher of hers named Reagan Boyer, whom her parents were friends with. Even after she left kindergarten, she continued to talk to him, and was someone she strives to be, the smartest person she knew.
There isn't much else to say about Shannon's early life other than she continued to grow and mature. However, at the age of eight, her powers had developed, or rather, she had discovered them. She was in the middle of a birthday party for the child of one of her father's Co-workers, and she had gotten into a small scuffle with a rather aggressive boy. Whom targeted her merely because she had red hair, and tried to pull it out. Shannon freaked out, and every piece of fabric in a good twenty foot radius had been warped and twisted into rather twisted constructs. Shannon and the boy's clothes were destroyed completely, leaving them both nude. Her parents had hauled them out. Not a soul knew what the hell happened, there was enough evidence to connect Shannon to it as everyone else.
However, after that, Shannon discovered that she had an affinity with fabrics. It wasn't anything special, she noticed that fabrics moved to her rhythm. She experimented a bit, and realized that it was all out control over fabrics. She could move them like the traditional elemental type. Shannon came to her parents with this news, and they honestly didn't renounce her or deem her a "freak". They were not oblivious to the world of Meta-humans, and accepted their daughter for what she truly is. But they highly recommended that she uses this power behind closed doors, just out of fear of the people who didn't understand it. So it became a bit of a hobby of hers, along with the rest of her activities, training this ability to it's fullest extent. Learning the ins and outs of this ability, and becoming a master seamstress by default.
She occasionally went to her old teacher Reagan for advice, who was a Meta-human himself (Ceramic Manipulation), and the only other. He taught her a few things, gave her a few pointers. He told Shannon that she could come up with some very creative uses with her power. All she had to do was think outside the box. Reagan acted as a mentor-figure for Shannon's training. Along with teaching her a few moves of his own that could be translated from ceramic to clothing.
Life was going rather smoothly for Shannon. By the time she was ten, she had gotten quite a grasp on her power. She had already learned how to create outfits in a few minutes, and had expanded her control beyond just fabrics. She strived to improve this power even further, and she gotten plenty of opportunities to do so by simple practices such as repairing an outfit, to changing an outfit all together. Just chalking it all up to her being . Her age having double-digits opened up a few opportunities for her. In terms of academies. Personally, she didn't want to participate in sports, and rather focused on her school work and training her power. Though, while in school, she wasn't the type to get along with people that well. She was already quite condescending towards virtually everyone. Shannon had already gotten the firm belief that most people were simply not worth her time, or too much of a mouth breather that they were beyond saving.

Mother killed, and sent away to a school when she truly wanted to be close to her father was not a good combination for the rather unstable Shannon.
Once she arrived, it was all so different to Shannon. She had only known one superhuman other than herself, but a whole school of them? That was something unexpected, but she had zero interest in it all. It was all the same thing, but with powers. She felt like she was abandoned here. The second Shannon got to her room, she locked herself off. Keeping herself locked off... Until she had met her room mate, Deborah Termellio, a first year student that was almost the same age as her. Deborah understood her thoughts, knew how she felt, and tried to help her, only to get pushed away by Shannon. Whom automatically assumed she had some ulterior motive. Though, Deborah was the only person whom Shannon knew in this alien place, she had no choice but to stick with her. Over time, she had opened herself up to Deborah, and the girl acted as the therapist that Shannon had never gotten. Being the person whose's shoulder Shannon cried on.

However, there was one person she could confide in, Deborah, her room mate had become her Secret Keeper. They've gotten closer to anyone else here.

She just enjoyed her summer... feeling better than she did when she received the news. Though, she couldn't wait to be sent back to that school.
It came soon enough when Shannon had begun her new school year, and she was sent back... Disappointed that she wasn't sharing rooms with Deborah, she was sharing rooms with a new student. Shannon kept her at arms length and continued to mingle with Deborah. This school year didn't yeld any interesting events, it was just the logical turn of events.

Physical Appearance: Sydney is a fairly small girl in stature. Not only is she short but she is skinny as well. Not much is big about the girl at all except her super human ability. Sydney has no visible physics strength though she is actually stronger than she looks. Despite the slightly snobbish look she carries with her she nothing like that. Sydney has had her light pink hair for a long time and she choses to keep it long. She uses her bangs to cover her left eye and side of her face. Her left eye is a lighter blue than the right due to her being born blind in that eye, this as well as a scar on her right cheek she received while attempting to practice her abilities, are hidden behind her bangs. She also has a rather large burn scar on her right hand from the same incident. This she usually doesn't hide due to her dislike in gloves.
Attire: Sydney usually wears casual clothes. This usually consists of tank tops, mostly black but they range in style and a pair of jeans, or denim shorts, these range in color though they are usually different shades of blue, black, or white.
Personality
______________
Outward & Innate Personality: Sydney at first can seem like a very intimidating person. This is due to her being slightly socially awkward. However if someone can get her talking she seems shy at times. Her voice isn't naturally loud in fact her normal speaking voice is usually raised only slightly above a whisper. Only when she yells does the sound like she is talking at a normal volume. She is a sweet girl and is easy to get along with though she can also be very sensitive. It doesn't take much to hurt her feelings in most cases. She likes to stick around people she trusts and isn't animate about making new friends on her own unless they speak to her first.

History/Bio: Sydney grew up with her grandmother on her mother's side. Her father left her mother before she was born and her mother died from a serious illness she she was just 3 years old. Growing up with her grandmother and being an only child she was rather spoiled when she was younger. When she began to develop her ability she was scared that her only real family would hate her. However she soon came to realize that she had developed a second generation ability. Her mother had also had the same ability as she did. She also came to find out that it wasn't an illness her mother died from, she ended up straining herself to much when practicing her ability and ended ashing. The fact that her mother ashed made Sydney rather afraid to use her abilities until a couple years ago. She practiced every now and then. Sydney's grandmother passed away only a couple months before she received her invitation to the school.

Abilities
___________
Power Class: Energy 6
Power:
•Force field generation - Ability to project powerful fields of manipulated energy that often act as shields.
•Sourcing - The ability to draw power from energy sources and use it to fuel her body. (Ex: she draws the electrical energy from a wall socket and she can go without sleep for a longer period of time)
•Conversion- the ability to convert potential energy into kinetic energy "charging" the object with explosive results. The smaller the item the quicker the "charge" it had less explosive power (a palm sized rock, for example, would explode with the force of a grenade.)
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:
•Force field generation- can only generate a force field that is big enough to cover about two people in all directions of a 10 yard x 10 yard square in one direction
•Sourcing- can only draw a small amount of energy out at a time.
•Conversion- larger items take longer to "charge". The larger the item the more physically straining it is on her to "charge". She has little to no control over this ability when trying to use it and things tend to blow up in her face. (This is where the scars came from) This ability is the one she needs the most work on though she needs to work on the others as well, they aren't nearly as bad as this one.
Other: Sydney has access to electrical potential and kinetic energy

Name: Jared "Red" Winston
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Red
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 184 cm
Weight: 82 kg
Status: New Student
Appearance
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Light Brown
Ethnicity: American - Greek
Physical Appearance: Red is a good looking young man, seen always wearing expensive suits or other formal clothes. He takes care of his appearance, thus enhancing his already good looks, to the point that some (women) would even call him an idol, if it wasn't for the huge scar that runs diagonally from his right eyebrow to the end of the left of his lips. He looks after his body, which is toned instead of bulky. His skin colour however is slightly dark-toned, a trait he inherited from his Greek mother. His most distinct feature however is his piercing gaze with his light brown eyes, which also give a hint of yellow. Red's gaze is what some would call charming, others would call arrogant, but everyone would agree one thing: it is intimidating, despite his looks. He is rarely seen unshaved and he only has some hair on his hands, considering it "too much of a hassle" to take care of those as well, considering they are not bad looking. His face is "symmetric", as he calls it and, according to him, symmetric faces indicate the beauty of a person. His face features include normal-sized ears and nose, faint lips and thin eyebrows. There are no marks on his body, except from a birthmark in his palm and the scar on his face.
Attire: Always seen in suits and other formal clothes, like vests and shirts. He almost always wears ties. He prefers Italian brands and his buying range goes from 2000-5000$ per piece.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Red is usually depicted as being "straight to the point" and hates gossip, because it adds unnescessary info to his memory vault. He is usually not the one to start a conversation, because he knows that most of the topics he could talk fluently about are about the facts he has in his memory which are not interesting to most. He is trying, however, to express his opinion in hopes of not being treated as a freak, as he was many times in the past. However his logical reasoning and his straight to the point attitude can hurt someone who needs emotional support and not guidance. He adapts his "only logic" style, in fear of a possible emotional breakdown, thus pressing himself not to be too emotionally attached to a person, but also tries not to be a total stranger to others. He is, however, trying to help the few people who can cope with him enough to call him friend with his knowledge, at least from an objective perspective. He is allergic to peanuts and loves spaghetti and fish. He also has a deep fear for big knives because of his scar.
Hobbies/Interests: Reading. He usually reads books related to science, or newspapers, but sometimes he goes out of his way to read other genres.

Quote(s): "How can you possibly not understand?"
History/Bio: Red was born in Greece, when his father, a ship captain, met a woman named Anna there. He grew up in Greece until, at the age of 5, his father came back to take him to America. His life was normal until the first day of school where he realized that his intellectual ability was supreme compared to the other students. Not concerned with anything but gaining knowledge, Red quickly developed the brain of a scientist. By the age of 11 he was already proficient in most forms of science, including chemistry, math, physics, anatomy, forensics and many more. However, his intellectual prowess was what killed his father, when he got himself involved in a case concerning a notorious gang leader who decided to take revenge from the one responsible for his imprisonment. Of course the punishment wasn't only delivered to his surroundings. A gang member cornered him and gifted him a huge scar across his face, to remind him that "not everything is always beautiful", an innuendo for both his face and his life. Being alone, he used his knowledge to involve himself in many businesses, legal and illegal and finally established a name for himself. However there was still more than meets the eye for Red, when he received an invitation to enroll to Academy 218, indicating that his gifts were not as common as he thought.

Powers
Power Class: Cerebral 5
Power: Terrabyte Memory & Understanding Capability
Red has limitless memory capacity and the ability to access all of it. He sees/reads something once, he never forgets it. This also enable him to make out things from facts that others should not understand (i.e scratch marks and small hair would most probably indicate that the person who has them owns a cat). When it comes to practical information, as long as it solely requires intellectual ability (i.e math), he can understand it and use it to it's fullest. His powers give him the ability to make estimations and predictions based on probability, although not absolute, making him a great tactician.
Data Vision (Unlocked Later): When Red reaches a point where he can access his info at a much faster speed rate, he is going to be able to look into things and receive the data they possess instictively, with the data appearing next to the object or person in an imaginative written form. That way, he will be able to see weak spots, vulnerabilities and other data of anything he sees. This will also function as a GPS mapping system, granting him a detailed, panoramic vision of his environment, to any area he has visited.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:
In order for Red to not overload from big masses of new info, he has to organise them daily in "memory chambers", based on their size, value, time he learned them and credibility. He also has to access his memory chambers, a proccess which requires him to stay motionless and practically shut himself off from the outside world, rendering him unable to talk, hear or feel anything. Red can't make deductions out of thin air and needs to have the sufficient data to do so. False or insufficient info can also be stored in his head and he will use them as long as he doesn't find out. His estimations can also be off due to imponderable factors, since he can't estimate them too when estimating probabilities. His brain is also forced to remember forever traumatic experiences too, sometimes not being able to keep them properly stored in one of his chambers, popping out when he is emotionally charged. Finally, anything Red learns doesn't nescessarily means that he can use it as long as it is practical, as long as it requires something more than just his mind (for example, he can't use a martial art that requires him to be in a certain body condition). Aside from his powers, he is just a normal human, which can be killed normally.
Other: He is a regular smoker, but, with the school rules, he has to hide his habit due to his age.

Basic Information
Name:
Cordelia Lynn Holmes.
Nickname/Alias/Etc:
Cord, Delly, Lynn, Holmes.
Gender:
Female.
Age:
17
Height:
5'3
Weight:
105
Status:
New Student
Appearance
Hair Color:
Black. There's a single purple strand.
Eye Color:
Dark blue.
Ethnicity:
Caucasian.
Physical Appearance:
Lynn's not exactly your standard eighteen year old girl. For starters, she's a bit on the malnourished side. Lynn's Caucasian, more or less pale with a faint hint of Eastern European heritage. Her hair is a dark brown, and typically bundled up in a bun or casually strung up in a ponytail, with a solitary streak of deep purple running through it. She doesn't seem to pay too much attention to it (the hair not the streak) and it doesn't have the sheen or glamour that someone who takes better care of their hair might have. Her eyes are a cold, distant blue, and when she converses with someone she (somewhat unnervingly) stares at them without blinking, holding eye contact regardless of how painfully awkward it becomes. Her face has a few freckles, but they're very faint. There's a scar on her right cheek that's hard to notice if you aren't looking closely (and looking closely at Leila would prompt a "What the fuck are you looking at?", so most people don't). She's definitely on the petite side-with the proper meals and limitless food that the Academy can provide, she's starting to put on weight (in a good way), but she's only about 5'3, weighing just a smidge over a hundred pounds. What muscle her body can metabolically afford is stretched out lean across her arms and legs, the look of a runner who's been running a little too fast and eating a little too little. Her chin is somewhat pointed, a contrast to her small round little nose, soft eyes (you can only notice how gentle they look when she's asleep, because her glare is too damned harsh otherwise) and chapped lips. A filled-in teardrop hangs just under the edge of her left eye, and it goes with her choice of dark mascara and eyeliner in a rather macabre way. Her outer arms are nicked with scars that are a little more fresh than the one on her face, and don't appear to be the typical remnants of self-harm. There's a long gash running down her right leg, from the inside of her knee to about halfway down her calf. Her back is engulfed in a rather intricate tattoo job, with the four horsemen of the apocalypse riding out on Judgment Day, and a pair of phoenixes curl down her right shoulder and chest onto her forearm, with their tails showing when she rolls her sleeve up or displays anything above the elbow. The left arm is marked by what appears to be the Angel of Death. Leila moves with cold, measured confidence, and tends to have a scowl permanently plastered across her face. She tends to dress in a way that wouldn't exactly be described as fashionable, with worn sneakers double knotted onto her feet and an equally worn, little-too-big hoodie draped over her shoulders and arms. She typically rolls the sleeves of the red hoodie up past her shoulders and holds up her jeans (which sport a few frayed, worn patches and a couple of holes, some of which are artfully held together with duct tape) with a belt that almost appears to wrap around her miniscule waist twice. Occasionally, a Red Sox ballcap will be worn on her head.
Attire:
Lynn rockin' that street rat look. She's got an oversized hoodie that she wears near constantly and baggy jeans that are frayed and worn in. Her shoes have been in dire straits, and there's a copious amount of duct tape on most of her possessions. Underneath her hoodie, Lynn normally wears a t-shirt (she cares very little about what these look like, so she's equally likely to be wearing a tee emblazoned with a kids' show mascot or some metal band's name written over skulls and whatnot) or wife beater underneath. She usually has a bandana on her person, which is useful for wiping off her face or serving as a mask when she's doing something she, legally speaking, probs shouldn't be.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality:
Fuck you, that's her personality.
No but seriously Lyn does not play very well with others. Lynn's not a bad person ,per se, but she's not a good person either. Lynn's endured quite a bit without a lot of help to rely on, and the result is a cold, hardened girl who can play with the best of them. While she may not have been privy to a proper education past grade school, Lynn's cunning and sharp. She's known for pragmatic approaches to her problems: Lynn, while true to her word, doesn't bother much with the idea of "honor". She has a clear concept of right and wrong, but it's...a little more twisted than most people's. Lynn's code of morality is pretty self-serving, and allows her to steal and carry out several types of illicit activities without feeling too much in the way of remorse (she typically steals from the well-off). Lynn's lack of strong familial ties has resulted in her latching onto close friends and allies with unshakeable loyalty: while she is very difficult to befriend (mostly because she has next to no tact and laughably poor social skills) she's undeniably faithful once her trust is earned. Lynn thinks there's a special spot in hell reserved for those who let their family or friends down, and she doesn't intend on getting a seat in hell THAT deep. Lynn's pretty worldly, and very street smart-while she may not be as well-read as most her age, she can fend for herself and survive where others can't. The girl's pride and self-confidence are annoying some, but in a way, a survival trait-pushovers don't last long on the streets. Lynn takes shit from no one, regardless of how deserved it may be. While proud, her pragmatism reigns supreme: she loathes accepting charity but is open to it if there's no other choice. She's fairly cynical of the rich and any charities: she views the government and the church (doesn't matter which one, she lumps them all together) with equal disdain. Lynn's not a hardened killer, but she's by no means a coward. She can handle stressful situations and keep her cool, and also possesses a remarkable poker face. She can come up with believable lies off the top of her head and is a decent actress, too-she spent some time as a con artist, exploiting the "I'm a poor girl all alone in the cold" angle. Lynn's a tough one, and while she may not physically be able to throw down with anyone above 5'6 or so, she's tenacious as hell, and will exploit every advantage she can to win. Lynn's humanity, however, shines through on occasion. She's particularly soft towards young girls, and is generous whenever she can afford to be. Lynn does her best to avoid cursing (which is really, really saying something: she curses like a drunken, Tourettes-ridden sailor) around children and typically covers up her tattoos in their presence as well. Lynn's a firm believer in "eye for an eye" justice and isn't one to compromise easily on moral issues. Similarly, she really, really doesn't like to admit she's wrong. While the pickpocket and drug runner may not be an ideal example of love and kindness, she's altruistic in her own way...sometimes. It's not that she's actively cruel or malicious, it's merely that she's learned opening up and trying to make things better just opens you up to getting burned. Hard. She's paid dearly for mistakes in the past and is determined to avoid repeating them. While bitter and easily irritated, she does have a good sense of professionalism, and for the room and board Academy is giving her (the food, oh Christ the FOOD) she's more than happy to play the schoolgirl for a while, even if it means working with a bunch of jackoff, superhero wannabes. Lynn? Psh. Lynn could get this shit done without superpowers, understand? What, you doubt her? Bitch you best know who you're talking to-etc, etc, etc. The Academy might mean actually getting a job, getting a place to stay for more than a few weeks. Lynn wants that more than she's willing to admit. Lynn's not the most charismatic and will have difficult winning people over or acting diplomatically-she lacks the subtleties of modern society and is a bit of a "fish out of water" at boarding school.
Morally, Lynn's a bit grey. Stealing, drug dealing, so on and so forth: these things she doesn't view as inherently evil. Rather, Lynn views the most important virtue as loyalty. One needs to guard one's friends and allies without fail-to the girl orphaned at youth, who watched her surrogate family be either killed or arrested throughout her life, she feels there's no excuse for letting down one's allies. Lynn's also got quite the soft spot for young kids-particularly, little girls, whom she usually tries to deter from following in her footsteps. Lynn sees her pickpocketing and stealing not as evil, but as a means to provide for herself and her friends: she tries typically to steal from the rich, and most of her actions are rationalized by "they had enough to spare, anyways". Lynn's actions do haunt her, however, and she's by no means a cold-blooded killer, despite her backtalk and frequent threats. Bitch.
Hobbies/Interests:
She's actually a decent singer and a pretty good rapper. She can also drink you under the table, despite her size. Lynn enjoys wandering and occasionally does sketches of the city, but often destroys them shortly thereafter to keep from anyone knowing she's a sissy little artist. She enjoys wandering around, finding high places to survey the world around her, and just relaxing and spending time with friends-of which she has very few.
Skills/Talents:
Lynn is a wunderkind of the illegal arts. She's good at coming up with schemes for nearly anything. Lynn can handle a knife and has been in several scrapes before, and while she may not be the most physically imposing figure, she can pull off intimidating just fine. Lynn's skilled at several illegal fields: she can pick locks, pick pockets, and pick out who's packing heat out of a crowd of pedestrians. Lynn knows how to hotwire a car and can move around quite stealthily. She's used to growing up rough, and can survive by herself and possesses incredible force of will: Lynn's one of those people who won't admit she's wrong, which can be as much of a fault as it can be an asset. Lynn's skilled at improvising and acting quickly on her feet-when confronted with a challenge, she'll respond by choosing a course of action and sticking to it. This, again, is a double-edged sword, but Lynn's been through enough stressful situations to avoid panicking when shit hits the fan-she keeps her cool and has an excellent poker face.

Maybe for Christmas, Santa will bring you a dick big enough for you to see. Now click your prissy ass heels three times and head back to gaping black hole that spat you out into this world.
History/Bio:
Where to start? Her early years are a blur. Lynn knows that she was born in Alaska, but from there it gets murky. Somehow, she wound up in the lower 48 in an orphanage for girls, unsure of what happened to her parents or how she became separated from them. She's not sure, but she thinks she was kidnapped. Lynn's since lost hope in reconnecting with her parents-and very quickly grew tired of the orphanage. Around the age of twelve, she ran away, packing a small bag and getting out of the shithole that was by no means her home. Lynn quickly found out that the real world is not forgiving on a twelve year old girl, and she was mercifully taken in by a man named Tyrelle. Tyrelle, while having benevolent intentions taking in Leila, was caught up with some rather nasty types. He did his best to keep Lynn in school, give her a place to stay and so forth (her description of the orphanage was so horrible he couldn't bring himself to send her back, and was attempting to go about adopting her), but she gradually became more and more exposed to the criminal lifestyle he had. Eventually, as you may have guessed, this lifestyle came back to bite Tyrelle, fatally so. About two years after finding him, her surrogate father was gunned down in a gang conflict, at which point Lynn...enacted revenge.
She's not sure how this happened. She truthfully isn't. She remembers standing at the crime scene, seeing the one decent person in her life in a pool of blood, bloated and stiff, and...and then things get murky. Lynn's pretty sure she killed the men responsible, because looking in to the case years afterwards revealed they were dead, the killer never found. Lynn has flashes of these memories-blood all over her hands, the killers' house...she can't recall anything more. Much like the first few years of her life, it would seem some part of her brain decided that it would do her no psychological good to keep those memories around. This, however, led Lynn down a very, very bad path. Tyrelle's associates were able to take her under their wing out of respect for their friend, but they didn't attempt to shield her as he had. Lynn quickly became a very profitable vassal, being next to invisible to the cops. Her desire to belong and prove herself made her an eager apprentice, and she was running drugs, picking pockets, and playing the lookout within weeks. As the years went on, Lynn's acceptance into the gang became official, her body slowly inked with tattoos, her reputation slowly built up. Lynn, while a nomad, never having a proper home to herself, had a family of sorts, and most nights had food to eat. There were people that paid attention to her, and she was caught up in what her surrogate father had attempted to prevent very quickly.
Years passed and Lynn spent time in juvy, but more time out of it. She got damned good at what she did, albeit a bit worried as her years of juvy started running out. She turned eighteen and, surely enough, got picked up for possession of a felony amount of drugs-cocaine she was taking to the other side of town. Gone was the fourteen year old girl who could deter cops with a sweet smile-in her stead was a hard looking, tattooed woman that had run with the roughest types in LA. She was taken in, but (I'm assuming this is okay), she was contacted first-it would seem the 218 noticed some irregularities with the police reports on her-and Lynn figured the Academy would at least have better food than prison..

Power:
Cordelia, if we're going to split hairs, has a mastery over shadow manipulation. This, however, isn't really correct. When Cordelia was very young, a lot of things happened to her that most people would classify as "extremely shitty". As a result, she did what most people do when faced with trauma they can't cope with: she shut down. Compartmentalized it. Tucked the bad memories, the things she couldn't understand away, invented mechanisms to help her understand. But instead of a teddy bear or something similar, Cordelia began to confide in her own shadow. Over time, it wouldn't be inaccurate to say she hadn't poured a good deal of her own soul into the thing. While she doesn't have anything as drastic as dissociative identity disorder, there is a genuine part of Cordelia that lingers within her shadow: all her dark memories, all the things (like her metahuman nature) that she just can't comprehend fully. The shadow is both literal and metaphorical: it's the darkness that follows behind her.
With that explanation out of the way, her power should make a lot more sense. Her shadow is sentient: perhaps even more cunning and ruthless than its mistress, by virtue of being exposed to the worst things Cordelia's endured and emerged more hardened and pragmatic from them. The shadow is atavistic, primeval: it has one purpose, and that is to protect Cordelia. It's her id, her subconscious drive and instincts. It's also all of her metahuman ability. Her shadow serves as her bodyguard, constantly vigilant. It absorbs all the information Cordelia does and then some-it has no need for sleep, no need for food or drink. Cordelia's fears do not ever go away, and neither does it.
Now, for its capabilities. First and foremost, the shadow is incredibly strong. It's fast as hell, extremely precise, and very versatile. Any character in the RP would be wise to avoid fighting it head-on. In close quarters, her shadow's an extremely difficult opponent to beat, and its reflexes reign supreme. Trying to land a lethal blow on Cordelia is very difficult. The shadow primarily has two forms: a two-dimensional or "ghost" form, where it appears to be just a normal shadow, trailing behind its owner. In this form, it can't cause any physical damage, but it can attack other people's shadows. Striking someone's shadow causes rather severe phantom pain, but no physical harm. It primarily uses this when it wants to send a clear message but avoid any lasting harm (the shadow is conniving, and will not attack unless Cordelia's in true danger). Its secondary form is physical, three-dimensional, and capable of causing real harm. In this form, the shadow takes on a physical form-any form. It's capable of becoming a riot shield to guard Cordelia from bullets, a six-armed man to deliver a hell of a punch, so on and so forth.
What's important to remember is that Cordelia's shadow is not only physical, it's spiritual. In the same manner that it guards her from convention harm, it seeks to protect her emotionally and psychically. Anything truly horrible that occurs to her, for example, rape, would be absorbed by the shadow, wiped from Cordelia's memory. It would leave a hazy, fuzzy gap in her memory-there are many, and Cordelia questions what sort of brain damage she's undergone that resulted in this. This shields her from suffering from the PTSD that she should be dealing with, although some remnants still remain (Cordelia has trouble sleeping and often has nightmares where the truth peeks through). The shadow is also a constant guardian-it is not a biological entity, and as such is constantly on watch. Her shadow is also surprisingly gentle with her-it will occasionally comfort her when she is sad, or listen to her when she needs to vent. Her shadow is capable of speaking to her, but it only does so very rarely.
Her power also manifests in some minor ways. In shadows or darkness, Cordelia receives a slight physical buff. This mostly amounts to her being far quieter and a little more dexterous-she doesn't become Manny Pacquaio when the lights go out or anything. It does, however, make her harder to catch at night. Additionally, her power gives her a boost to strength and stamina, by passively drawing on the darkness around her. This mostly works to counteract her malnutrition: she's stronger than she should be, but by no means a physical powerhouse. In terms of raw physical strength, Lynn's still bottom-tier. Her vision's not as impeded in the dark, and her senses are a bit honed.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:
First and foremost, range. Her shadow is only capable of affecting the area immediately around her: if it's further than what her shadow could stretch to naturally, then it's in the clear. Outside of six or so feet (depending on the lighting), the shadow can't touch you. As a result, ranged attacks are very much preferable when dealing with Lynn. Her shadow also is sentient-she cannot control it. If Lynn is getting her ass beat but not dying, or in danger of dying, then the shadow will probably refuse to do anything. It's dire circumstances that cause it to flare up-all those other circumstances? She's on her own. Unless someone's got an intent to kill Lynn (or she manages to sweet-talk the shadow into helping her, which is rare), it will likely avoid getting involved.
Additionally, her shadow's capabilities are not finite, and it's unable to multitask efficiently. If it focuses on guarding her spiritually, as it does whenever she's not fighting for her life, Cordelia's past stays nice and repressed. Once it starts throwing punches, it has to divert more focus onto the physical aspect of things. The result being that Cordelia's psyche becomes increasingly shattered as the shadow has to fight harder to defend her. At times, adrenaline can repel this until after the fight. At other times, she'll be unable to function at all, crippled by the cognitive dissonance of suddenly knowing everything, several years' worth of memories flooding her mind like water gushing through a broken dam. If she can get to safety, the shadow can resume its psychiatrist duties and keep her functioning normally. If she's in a prolonged fight, however...
The final weakness is another psychological flaw-her dependency on the shadow. A few times, she has been exposed to herself (for lack of a better term), and while she doesn't remember what she saw, she remembers it was horrible. If Cordelia were able to undergo therapy, open up and resolve her issues, she'd be able to fine-tune her power and use it consciously. She is, however, driven primarily by her fear, both of death (she doesn't expect to live past twenty) and of whatever it is the shadow guards her from. The shadow is her psychological crutch, the equivalent of turning to alcohol or drugs in order to cope. Removing it quickly would render Cordelia catatonic, and as such any power nullifying abilities will make her dead weight. Additionally, this means the process of her learning more about her powers and what she's capable of will be painstakingly slow, as she'll have to resolve quite a bit of baggage before she can function without the shadow.
Other:
She eats a lot to make up for lost meals. Very street smart. Doesn't play with others, but will display sympathy if given the opportunity to do so without losing face.

Caucasian.
Physical Appearance:
Lynn's not exactly your standard eighteen year old girl. For starters, she's a bit on the malnourished side. Lynn's Caucasian, more or less pale with a faint hint of Eastern European heritage. Her hair is a dark brown, and typically bundled up in a bun or casually strung up in a ponytail, with a solitary streak of deep purple running through it. She doesn't seem to pay too much attention to it (the hair not the streak) and it doesn't have the sheen or glamour that someone who takes better care of their hair might have. Her eyes are a cold, distant blue, and when she converses with someone she (somewhat unnervingly) stares at them without blinking, holding eye contact regardless of how painfully awkward it becomes. Her face has a few freckles, but they're very faint. There's a scar on her right cheek that's hard to notice if you aren't looking closely (and looking closely at Leila would prompt a "What the fuck are you looking at?", so most people don't). She's definitely on the petite side-with the proper meals and limitless food that the Academy can provide, she's starting to put on weight (in a good way), but she's only about 5'3, weighing just a smidge over a hundred pounds. What muscle her body can metabolically afford is stretched out lean across her arms and legs, the look of a runner who's been running a little too fast and eating a little too little. Her chin is somewhat pointed, a contrast to her small round little nose, soft eyes (you can only notice how gentle they look when she's asleep, because her glare is too damned harsh otherwise) and chapped lips. A filled-in teardrop hangs just under the edge of her left eye, and it goes with her choice of dark mascara and eyeliner in a rather macabre way. Her outer arms are nicked with scars that are a little more fresh than the one on her face, and don't appear to be the typical remnants of self-harm. There's a long gash running down her right leg, from the inside of her knee to about halfway down her calf. Her back is engulfed in a rather intricate tattoo job, with the four horsemen of the apocalypse riding out on Judgment Day, and a pair of phoenixes curl down her right shoulder and chest onto her forearm, with their tails showing when she rolls her sleeve up or displays anything above the elbow. The left arm is marked by what appears to be the Angel of Death. Leila moves with cold, measured confidence, and tends to have a scowl permanently plastered across her face. She tends to dress in a way that wouldn't exactly be described as fashionable, with worn sneakers double knotted onto her feet and an equally worn, little-too-big hoodie draped over her shoulders and arms. She typically rolls the sleeves of the red hoodie up past her shoulders and holds up her jeans (which sport a few frayed, worn patches and a couple of holes, some of which are artfully held together with duct tape) with a belt that almost appears to wrap around her miniscule waist twice. Occasionally, a Red Sox ballcap will be worn on her head.
Attire:
Lynn rockin' that street rat look. She's got an oversized hoodie that she wears near constantly and baggy jeans that are frayed and worn in. Her shoes have been in dire straits, and there's a copious amount of duct tape on most of her possessions. Underneath her hoodie, Lynn normally wears a t-shirt (she cares very little about what these look like, so she's equally likely to be wearing a tee emblazoned with a kids' show mascot or some metal band's name written over skulls and whatnot) or wife beater underneath. She usually has a bandana on her person, which is useful for wiping off her face or serving as a mask when she's doing something she, legally speaking, probs shouldn't be.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality:
Fuck you, that's her personality.
No but seriously Lyn does not play very well with others. Lynn's not a bad person ,per se, but she's not a good person either. Lynn's endured quite a bit without a lot of help to rely on, and the result is a cold, hardened girl who can play with the best of them. While she may not have been privy to a proper education past grade school, Lynn's cunning and sharp. She's known for pragmatic approaches to her problems: Lynn, while true to her word, doesn't bother much with the idea of "honor". She has a clear concept of right and wrong, but it's...a little more twisted than most people's. Lynn's code of morality is pretty self-serving, and allows her to steal and carry out several types of illicit activities without feeling too much in the way of remorse (she typically steals from the well-off). Lynn's lack of strong familial ties has resulted in her latching onto close friends and allies with unshakeable loyalty: while she is very difficult to befriend (mostly because she has next to no tact and laughably poor social skills) she's undeniably faithful once her trust is earned. Lynn thinks there's a special spot in hell reserved for those who let their family or friends down, and she doesn't intend on getting a seat in hell THAT deep. Lynn's pretty worldly, and very street smart-while she may not be as well-read as most her age, she can fend for herself and survive where others can't. The girl's pride and self-confidence are annoying some, but in a way, a survival trait-pushovers don't last long on the streets. Lynn takes shit from no one, regardless of how deserved it may be. While proud, her pragmatism reigns supreme: she loathes accepting charity but is open to it if there's no other choice. She's fairly cynical of the rich and any charities: she views the government and the church (doesn't matter which one, she lumps them all together) with equal disdain. Lynn's not a hardened killer, but she's by no means a coward. She can handle stressful situations and keep her cool, and also possesses a remarkable poker face. She can come up with believable lies off the top of her head and is a decent actress, too-she spent some time as a con artist, exploiting the "I'm a poor girl all alone in the cold" angle. Lynn's a tough one, and while she may not physically be able to throw down with anyone above 5'6 or so, she's tenacious as hell, and will exploit every advantage she can to win.

It's not that she's actively cruel or malicious, it's merely that she's learned opening up and trying to make things better just opens you up to getting burned. Hard. She's paid dearly for mistakes in the past and is determined to avoid repeating them. While bitter and easily irritated, she does have a good sense of professionalism, and for the room and board Academy is giving her (the food, oh Christ the FOOD) she's more than happy to play the schoolgirl for a while, even if it means working with a bunch of jackoff, superhero wannabes. Lynn? Psh. Lynn could get this shit done without superpowers, understand? What, you doubt her?

The shadow primarily has two forms: a two-dimensional or "ghost" form, where it appears to be just a normal shadow, trailing behind its owner. In this form, it can't cause any physical damage, but it can attack other people's shadows. Striking someone's shadow causes rather severe phantom pain, but no physical harm. It primarily uses this when it wants to send a clear message but avoid any lasting harm (the shadow is conniving, and will not attack unless Cordelia's in true danger). Its secondary form is physical, three-dimensional, and capable of causing real harm. In this form, the shadow takes on a physical form-any form. It's capable of becoming a riot shield to guard Cordelia from bullets, a six-armed man to deliver a hell of a punch, so on and so forth.
What's important to remember is that Cordelia's shadow is not only physical, it's spiritual. In the same manner that it guards her from convention harm, it seeks to protect her emotionally and psychically. Anything truly horrible that occurs to her, for example, rape, would be absorbed by the shadow, wiped from Cordelia's memory. It would leave a hazy, fuzzy gap in her memory-there are many, and Cordelia questions what sort of brain damage she's undergone that resulted in this. This shields her from suffering from the PTSD that she should be dealing with, although some remnants still remain (Cordelia has trouble sleeping and often has nightmares where the truth peeks through). The shadow is also a constant guardian-it is not a biological entity, and as such is constantly on watch. Her shadow is also surprisingly gentle with her-it will occasionally comfort her when she is sad, or listen to her when she needs to vent. Her shadow is capable of speaking to her, but it only does so very rarely.
Her power also manifests in some minor ways. In shadows or darkness, Cordelia receives a slight physical buff. This mostly amounts to her being far quieter and a little more dexterous-she doesn't become Manny Pacquaio when the lights go out or anything. It does, however, make her harder to catch at night. Additionally, her power gives her a boost to strength and stamina, by passively drawing on the darkness around her. This mostly works to counteract her malnutrition: she's stronger than she should be, but by no means a physical powerhouse. In terms of raw physical strength, Lynn's still bottom-tier. Her vision's not as impeded in the dark, and her senses are a bit honed.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:
First and foremost, range. Her shadow is only capable of affecting the area immediately around her: if it's further than what her shadow could stretch to naturally, then it's in the clear. Outside of six or so feet (depending on the lighting), the shadow can't touch you. As a result, ranged attacks are very much preferable when dealing with Lynn. Her shadow also is sentient-she cannot control it. If Lynn is getting her ass beat but not dying, or in danger of dying, then the shadow will probably refuse to do anything. It's dire circumstances that cause it to flare up-all those other circumstances? She's on her own. Unless someone's got an intent to kill Lynn (or she manages to sweet-talk the shadow into helping her, which is rare), it will likely avoid getting involved.
Additionally, her shadow's capabilities are not finite, and it's unable to multitask efficiently. If it focuses on guarding her spiritually, as it does whenever she's not fighting for her life, Cordelia's past stays nice and repressed. Once it starts throwing punches, it has to divert more focus onto the physical aspect of things. The result being that Cordelia's psyche becomes increasingly shattered as the shadow has to fight harder to defend her. At times, adrenaline can repel this until after the fight. At other times, she'll be unable to function at all, crippled by the cognitive dissonance of suddenly knowing everything, several years' worth of memories flooding her mind like water gushing through a broken dam. If she can get to safety, the shadow can resume its psychiatrist duties and keep her functioning normally. If she's in a prolonged fight, however...
The final weakness is another psychological flaw-her dependency on the shadow. A few times, she has been exposed to herself (for lack of a better term), and while she doesn't remember what she saw, she remembers it was horrible. If Cordelia were able to undergo therapy, open up and resolve her issues, she'd be able to fine-tune her power and use it consciously. She is, however, driven primarily by her fear, both of death (she doesn't expect to live past twenty) and of whatever it is the shadow guards her from. The shadow is her psychological crutch, the equivalent of turning to alcohol or drugs in order to cope. Removing it quickly would render Cordelia catatonic, and as such any power nullifying abilities will make her dead weight. Additionally, this means the process of her learning more about her powers and what she's capable of will be painstakingly slow, as she'll have to resolve quite a bit of baggage before she can function without the shadow.
Other:
She eats a lot to make up for lost meals. Very street smart. Doesn't play with others, but will display sympathy if given the opportunity to do so without losing face.

Basic Information
Name: Poppy Flanagan
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Strawberry, princess, brat
Gender: Female
Age: 14 almost 15
Height: 4'11½"
Weight: 98 lbs
Status: New student
Appearance
Hair Color: Fiery red
Eye Color: Emerald green
Ethnicity: Irish American
Physical Appearance: Poppy's most prominent feature is her carrot top mop, which is a fitting description for how much she has. Her hair has a lot of volume, waviness. It flows to just bellow her shoulder blades. Being short makes her head large by comparison to her body. This in combination with lingering baby fat makes her face look rounded, almost doll like were it completely symmetrical. Because of her small size her eyes seem unproportionately large to for head. This and the fact she inherited her mothers long eyelashes contribute to half the reason one of her nicknames is brat. Whether or not she agrees, her grooming practices back it up. If somebody looked close enough they would be able to tell that her eyebrows are plucked and manicured to be thin. Tripping while learning how to walk in heels has made her petite nose slightly crooked ever since. It's her hope to get it corrected once she stops growing. Poppy got her prominent ears pierced in four places as a fashion experiment and a way to spite her parents. As of the moment her uppermost ones are in the process of healing, the lower ones remain in use. Additionally her reckless nature earned her a few scars, all them are easy to hide except one bellow her chin. It remains as a horizontal line of discoloration nearly an inch in length. Her mouth is a above average sized and makes her lips look thin. The Flanagan's dentist has kept her pearly whites in good shape. Unfortunately for her they didn't come in very straight. Poppy's teeth are a bit staggered, her smile gap toothed. She used to wear braces, but since coming to the academy she has switched to using a retainer at night.
Tiny freckles are interspersed all over her body, most heavily clustered on her cheeks and back. Moles must like the same places, because she has one on her right cheek and shoulder blade. Splotchy pigmentless birthmarks are reoccurring on her body. Most of them are small, the exception are ones on her head, neck, and back. She's pretty pale so what isn't hidden by hair or clothes doesn't stand out to much, nonetheless though she takes cover up to the places that show each day. Like many girls first introduced to makeup Poppy uses quite a bit. However, unlike some of them she knows how to apply it properly. One of the only parts of her routine that hasn't changed since being enrolled at the academy. Poppy adamantly insists on using primer, lipstick/gloss, foundation, blush, contour, highlight, mascara, eyeliner, penciling, nail polish, the whole shebang. If she has colors other than black, white, red, pink, and purple she doesn't use them. Her build is slender, yet slightly chubby all over in the way only a child can be. Before the bodies fat starts congregating in certain areas. Though she has started into puberty, she is no where near to being a woman yet.
Attire: A decent portion of Poppy's wardrobe came along with her to the academy. This encompasses of skirts, blouses, dresses, gowns, camisoles, scarfs, shawls, stockings, and other formal wear. Footwear consists of slippers, heels, flats, pumps, sandals, D'Orsays, and boots. Even though she isn't big on headwear there are a number of sun, cocktail, Cecile, and Victorian hats to chose from in addition to bonnets, bows, headbands and veils. Their color palettes are identical to her choice in cosmetics. Jewelry of precious metal supplemented with valuable gems make up the bulk of her other accessories. These are worn in relative moderation. The only notable pieces are silver cross that her parents hoped would liken her to Catholicism, and a ten carat gold diamond ring that belonged to her great grandmother. Poppy doesn't process a single pair of pants or shorts. I'll specify her exact outfits IC.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Spunky, sassy, arrogant, and opinionated are all good words to describe Poppy. She is perceived as prim and proper little girl that has way to much energy. Her impressive vocabulary combined with the fact she can talk a mile a minute often make conversation with her a quite a doozy. A high pitched voice doesn't help either. It's hard to politely disengage with her, because she can't take a hint when she's being a nuisance. Just about everyone has their breaking point, some sooner than others, and when they do tell her to buzz off she always does her best to make a scene. She'll use any combination of pouting, crossing her arms, looking away, contemptuous sound effects, name calling, or even wailing on the person with her tiny little fists. For her age she is surprisingly found of swear words, or more likely he effect they produce. Regardless of the case she rarely goes on for more than five minutes unless she receives undue attention. Of course this is rarely positive attention, and feisty Poppy isn't one to back down. Strangely though if she really gets somebody on a roll she will quiet up an simply smile at them until they quit or run out of breath. Each time she raps up her antics suddenly and moves on to something else. Finally Poppy is quite demanding. It's like a game to her to see how long it takes for people to cave into her whims. How polite she is depends on a multitude of factors.
On the inside Poppy always feels alone. In her efforts to get noticed she usually instead finds herself pushing others away. This a viscous cycle that has been going on ever since she was first enrolled in school. As a result she harbors resentment against those who are able to fit in and furthermore herself. More than once this has burst forth into sudden aggression, or prompted her to do something dangerous to see if anyone really cares. In the few cases where she has been made to feel like she belongs her true colors emerge. Poppy at heart is friendly, if a bit bossy. Should she ever join a group of friends she'd have no need to solicit everyone for attention. Additionally, she has a very idealistic view of the world. In her mind people should reap what they sow. To her it is incomprehensible when bad things happen to good people and vice versa. Poppy is extremely protective of her allies, and will do whatever it takes to keep them around. However it is a delicate balance, for in the past she has been overbearing and brought her own doubts to fruition. Each time Poppy has gotten close to somebody only for them to leave they have left an even bigger rift in her heart than the one they were filling.
Aside from what's listed above Poppy has the same fears and desires shared by most teenage girls.
Hobbies/Interests: Poppy is constantly looking for attention or that can make feel recognized, special, excited, talented, all the feelings her childhood lacks. She will go from one person to another trying all sorts of things. Anything that promotes a reaction she will keep up. Beyond this she is into what most young girls are. Dolls, stuffed animals, arts and crafts, sweet treats, cartoons, playing dress up, and so on. On the flip side she has some tomboy like tendencies, examples include mutilating her toys and watching relatively violet shows.
Skills/Talents: Poppy is smarter than her grade level as it was the only thing that her parents wouldn't let slide. Getting constant one on one tutoring has it's perks even if she doesn't realize it. Following this is things like dance, how to talk, and even how to walk in a formal manner. From a young age a bow and violin we placed in her hands, over the years she has become a talented musician. Due to her upbringing she can speak both English and Irish fluently, she is currently learning French. Lastly, Poppy is clever and rather good at getting what she wants.
Prized Possession: A naked barbie doll with it's blonde hair clipped unevenly. It is also missing a leg. Poppy named it Paulina, she tries to keep it out of sight of others.
Quote(s): "Let's play house! I'll be me and you'll be my servant. Okay?"
History/Bio: A pretty standard story of a neglected, but otherwise pampered little girl. Poppy was raised by a nanny and sent to a prestigious private school. Servants waited on her every need and if it could be bought with money it was hers. This lasted most of grade school until her inability to keep her hands to herself got her thrown out. In place her parents hired a private tutor instead of addressing the problem. All in all she was well on track to becoming a lonely selfish person. All that changed when her father failed to keep yet another promise. Something unexplained happened that wound him in the hospital. What was certain however is that is Poppy was somehow involved. So when an invitation to the academy came they were all too willing to send her off.

Abilities
Power Class: Energy/Cerebral 4-8
Power: Poppy can transform into a physical manifestation of retribution, a combination of vengeance embodiment and empowerment. This ability requires fuel in the form of her desire to punish others for their trespasses. Whether it's against her or someone else it doesn't matter, if she considers an action wrong it will add to the strength of her next or current use. Multiple offenses and perpetrators compound. Once Poppy reaches the point where she would consider violent revenge her power is primed for use. When activated her body becomes an eerie red, somewhat translucent energy. Matching spectral wings and talons protrude from her back and fingertips. While in use Poppy gains incredible strength, and a destructive aura proportionate to her desire to punish. The latter extends up to three inches from her body and also serves a defensive purpose by degrading attacks that pass through it. At the lowest her physical prowess is equivalent to an adult male in peak physical condition, the damaging aura would be similar to natural fire if all materials were equally flammable. In the past it has gotten to where Poppy could throw cars, at this level her aura is comparable to contacting a plasma arc. Regardless of how wronged she feels her other capabilities always remain the same. These are complete dark vision, supernatural flight at a maximum sustainable speed of thirty five miles per hour, and defunct physiology. Damage sustained while powered up is not transferred her human form and is reset upon powering down.
Later on she will gain the ability to relinquish her energy through forgiveness and use it to heal rather than transform.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Firstly, Poppy is unable to use her power freely as stated above. She has to both be wronged to the point of aggression and in the presence of the one responsible. Anyone who she herself has wronged can get even with her without giving her power, after all it's only fair. Next, while in her embodiment she gets tunnel vision for those who deserve punishment. Her transformation may not look that much different, but make no mistake that all that remains of her is blind desire with no self conservation whatsoever. Unsurprisingly her tactics in battle are reckless and predictable. This also makes training with her gift useless to her and dangerous to others. To emphasize her focus she is unable to physically interact with or harm those who are on neutral terms or better with her. However, they are still able to physically interact with her. Whether Poppy collides with them or phases through depends on who instigated the contact. Keep in mind that she can still make enemies of those who start conflict with her.
Additionally, vengeance is only served once and it doesn't matter how. Upon delivering suitable retribution she returns to human form unconscious and her former target(s) are given clean slates as far as her power goes. If she chooses to get back at them in any other fashion the same thing goes. For example if somebody called her a name and she spat one right back she would gain nothing against them. Finally, Poppy has to know who wronged her with one hundred percent certainty. This means witnessing it or hard evidence. Should she be fooled and attempt to exact revenge on the wrong person she will immediately lose access to her gift and take the damage she would have dealt to her human form. The duration of the downtime is tied to how long it takes for the self inflicted wound to heal. Mind effects and illusions used in this fashion are extremely effective at countering her before she powers up.

Basic Information
Name: Vespera Spindel (having never never actually been given a name she came up with it for herself, it means evening spider)
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Arachne, Black Widow, Spinner of Shadows
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Height: 6'
Weight: 131 lbs
Status: Returning student, has been attending full time for over 12 years
Appearance
Hair Color: Black with red highlights/streaks throughout
Eye Color: Blood red
Ethnicity: English
Physical Appearance: Even without the clothing side of her image, Vespera's body features and makeup scream goth. The foremost being her straight, midnight hair with scarlet highlights. It flows to her shoulders, and has long bangs that conceal her eyes. With good reason, her long lashed eye's have abnormally large pupils that are sanguine in color. They have an eerie glow to them that make's her efforts to conceal them in vain. Anyone within conversational distance should notice them with ease. That's not the only thing different about her. Vespera's mouth is wide, but not unnaturally so, or to the point it diminishes her attractiveness. The main reason it looks out of place is her lips aren't proportionately thick for their shape. Dark eye shadow with upward angled streaks of red originating from outward facing corners of each eye. Her lipstick is brownish pink color contrary to her red and black theme. As for the rest of her body, Vespera is extremely slender with long limbs. Shaped muscles hug the bone, giving her a toned look despite her overall spindly appearance. Only one area is fatty, I'm sure you can guess where that is. Her hands are like her limbs, long and slender. Thickness, length and the solid red color of her nails make most think that she has fake nails, while they are in fact natural. Color included. She is barely there in the midsection and has hips wider than her bust. Between her shoulder blades is a red hour glass marking. Like a number of her other features, it is a side effect of her power. A pale grayish skin tone clashes with the dark colors she is so fond of. Strangely she has no blemishes or scars of any sort. Equally surprising is the lack of piercings to be found anywhere on her body, she looks the type that would have at least done her ears at least. If she had a healthy complexion, one might say that she had perfect skin. Vespera could easily be mistaken for being younger than she really is.
Attire: Vespera wears the same type of outfit just about everyday. Her main article is a one piece black corset with an attached skirt. Laces of a deep red color create a snug fit, the back is low enough to expose her red hourglass marking. The skirt part itself is knee length, with fringes of black interspersed with crimson. From the toes up she wears a pair of thigh length high heel boots also with matching red laces. These shoes have four inch heels, which add to her already impressive height. This makes her look freakishly tall for a female. Should the fringes on her shirt part enough one might also see that she's wearing fishnet stockings underneath. Her hands and arms are covered by black long sleeved gloves. Curiously they appear to be custom made, as they have sealable slits at the tip of each finger. A silver spider pendant with a large blood ruby embedded in its abdomen rests just above her breasts, and is her only piece of jewelry. Because her hair is unable to properly hide her eyes, Vespera additionally wears a short veil over the top half of her face as an additional measure. Overall her wardrobe is entirely Gothic and extremely promiscuous.

Outward & Innate Personality: Vespera is antisocial, but not in the shy sense. Her behavior would best be described as the way a predator watches it's prey before striking. Just in this case her prey is the other members of the academy. She watches and listens to anything and everything that may come in use later. Any information about others strengths and weaknesses she keeps to herself, but in the case of rumors she likes to pass them along. Her tactic is to bring it up to a gossipy type girl, and let her do the dirty work for her. If she likes the person she'll flatter them, if not she'll blatantly insult them. The in between is when she’s getting to know them. All the while she'll remain level headed and use a sweet tone. Vespera is very competitive and will scheme to make up for defeat at nearly any cost. However, there is one thing that gets her blood to truly boil. Killing a spider. Doing so could result in her transforming, and or trying to murder the offender. This and her attitude causes her to get in more fights than the average student. On the other end she is deathly afraid of water in large quantities and absolutely hates being around it. Near psychopathic mannerisms, physical differences, and her upbringing make it difficult others to closely relate with her and vice versa. Most of her ‘friendships’ were born in either the book or science club. Vespera feels like the academy is a necessary prison, she want's nothing more than to hone her powers to perfection then get out. Her sexual orientation is bisexual, though she favors men, with her primary attraction factor being power.
Beneath the shell, Vespera’s power and experiences have molded her into a rather unbalanced individual. In her early life, before she was taken in, her development amounted to that of an evolved carnivore. This stunted her human development, and so while she’s in her twenties her behavior is often immature. Many of the measures used in used in restraining her bestial nature would be considered abusive to anyone let alone a child. In combination with her animal survival instincts she suffers from hyperarousal and defaults to aggression in the face of perceived threats. Which at one time was anyone and everyone. Rarely was she shown true compassion and those who tried were met with difficulties. The attachment process most children go through was disrupted. As a result she has severe trust issues and a lack of empathy. There wasn't somebody there for her to turn to for help or comfort, if she even would. It was never even a concept until she arrived at the academy. Without a role model she had trouble regulating her emotions and still does. The apathetic processes from her power were used as a crutch, a way to dissociate from it all. Despite habilitation attempts she feels she is more creature than human. Ultimately she jumped through the hoops to avoid what she viewed as punishment. Later on she was prompted to participate in non-physical mature activities through positive reinforcement. Because of this Vespera gained a skewed view on courtship and a level of sexual confusion. The most noticeable symptoms is her lack of modesty when it comes to clothing herself and low self respect/restraint during intimate activities. Aside from this she became a part of the family and made necessary advances to have any hope of fitting in with others. It wasn't until later that she even realized how she was taken advantage of. There are times she thinks about what she would do if they ever met again.
For the first years attending the academy everything was overwhelming for Vespera. While her situation undoubtedly improved, maltreatment was replaced with personal attacks. She existed in a state of persistent fear until she was drove to the breaking point and lashed out. By comparison to her previous environment her punishment was a mere slap on the wrist. It might as well been a reward since the perpetrator was in no condition to continue tormenting her. Slowly the anger and blame she held for the world surfaced. Her actions became more bold, rebellious, and violent. She found the closest thing she had experienced to a sense of belonging since being taken away from the household she was assigned in filling the role of a monster. Over the course of time she masked her insecurities by adopting an egocentric perspective. A grand illusion that places here near the top of the pecking order and others beneath her. She adopted arrogance with little inhibition, and no remorse. In addition to an overly solicitous and manipulative demeanor. She does her best act well refined to make up for her social shortcomings. While often times she is seen as an attention seeker, her social antics almost always have more to them than simple self gratification. There are equally as many time’s she’d prefer not to be noticed at all.
Vespera tells herself that emotions and everything she used to be was weak, she has internalized this belief to the best of her ability. That if she believes in her strength and importance enough she will never have to feel insignificant and helpless ever again. If she had it her way she would forget everything and become the persona she is trying to project. However, her unregulated and hidden emotions inevitably catch up to her at times. Most commonly when something reminds her of the past. The reason she snaps at the killing of spiders isn't because that she is overly protective of them (any more), it simply dredges up bad memories. At times these come in the form of vivid flashbacks. That and she sees it as equivalent to spitting in her face. When unable to achieve a goal after repeated attempts she is prone to impulsive and sometimes self destructive behavior. Persistent issues that she feels powerless against promotes bouts of uncontrollable depression, and makes her question her decisions. Sometimes her very existence. She thinks what she might have been like with normal upbringing, but feels she is too far gone. This is a reoccurring identity crisis. Deep down she is fearful to leave the academy for good. The first time she deliberately killed she ran back with her tail between her legs, deathly afraid of being found out, recaptured, or worse. Though she will insist otherwise. Subconsciously what she is really looking for in an individual is unconditional acceptance of who and what she is.
Hobbies/Interests: The activities Vespera indulges in are strange to say the least. Much of her time is spent watching other students hang out from some dark corner. Any spiders she encounters are invited to ride along in her hair and clothing. Her favorite subject is biology, and her favorite part of that is dissections. Psychology comes in second. A large portion of her free time is spent studying for these courses.The only real normal recreation she does is read in the library, knitting/crocheting, and writing poetry.
Skills/Talents: Outside of her powers, Vespera is good at a few regular activities. Her knowledge of biology and physiology is exceptional. She is a gifted pianist, poet, and songwriter. Although, all of her work is rather dark. The knitting and crocheting she does is beyond professional level. Without practice, Vespera's voice is naturally on key, and very alluring.
Prized Possession: Her silver spider necklace, she found it at the warehouse she was hatched in during one of her ventures back to the UK. As if it was waiting for her.
Quote(s): Anything referencing spiders and psychology. "That spider is more scared of you than you are of it. Who told you that?"
History/Bio: Vespera has had the inherent power of her lineage since her first breath. Part of this power overrode her fathers traits, and allowed her mother to birth many offspring. However, as a result of this all of her siblings were female and and hatched with similar powers. This power comes with a number of spider like tendencies that are considered terrible by the general populace. Most namely the fact that they were indeed giant spiders for most intents and purposes. A complete lack of motherly instinct left them abandoned and forced to fend for themselves. Another is cannibalism. Without readily available food they turned on each other one by one until there was just Vespera. It was much too long ago for her to remember exactly what happened. Spider powers, namely the abilities to hunt and remain hidden kept her alive until she was discovered and captured. Over a year later a little girl was discovered in place of the mutant arachnid specimen. After some tests it was clear that she was one in the same. This resulted in her being taken in as an unusual wild child case. Scientists worked with her to make up for the human development she missed during the early part of her life. It wasn't like this was easy, not only did she still behave like a creature but she was extremely dangerous. The negative reinforcement they used to pacify her was necessary, but also her had a negative effect on her emotional development. At age seven she was taken into a hand selected home to be raised until she was of age to attend the academy. Under the care of a man who was into little girls and abused his guardianship of her. Her pheromones, which she hadn't learned to control yet, might have been what made him toe the line. All the other mechanics at play in the household actually did better bridge her transition to the academy.
When she first arrived she was socially awkward, practiced strange animalistic habits, and couldn't entirely keep her spider form suppressed. At the same time she wasn't open to and in fact feared normal looking people. She didn't eat anything but meat, and she would often throw up on her food then eat after. Or she might have been looking at somebody and gained an extra eye. Stuff like this got her ridiculed by select individuals. Unsurprisingly she eventually snapped when one of them who noticed she always had spiders around her and thought it would be amusing to them crush one by one to get a reaction out of her. Since she was able to communicate and some level relate to them in some ways it didn't go over well. After this incident she was taken away from the other students and worked on one on one until she was at a manageable level of control. What ultimately changed her demeanor was that at the academy it appeared that she was doing better off after responding with violence rather than worse. Coupled with the fact that her predator side enjoyed the thrill of the hunt. She was no longer picked on (in the same fashion at least) and fear switched from dominating her life to being her tool. Not everyone got the memo and so afterwards she took those who had wronged her to the arena. Eventually it became more than just pay back, she began to look for ways to elevate herself above the rest. As most of those who knew her story left and new people came into to judge her she almost stepped up to fill the role others had assigned her.

Abilities
Power Class: Animal 7, Elemental 6
Power: Vespera has spider physiology and darkness manipulation. The first part of her abilities grants her passive spider like abilities and instincts in humanoid form. She is able to exert enough force to lift something four times her body weight. Her speed and endurance is such that she can sustainably run at a speed 25 miles an hour. In addition, she has wallcrawling, a heightened sense of smell, dark vision, and a seismic sense. Vespera secrets pheromones that make males at ease around her, and adversely makes females uncomfortable in her presence. This scent smells like a rose with a twinge of iron. It also attracts spiders of both genders indiscriminately, and she is able communicate with them.
Vespera is capable of taking on a form with physical spider like characteristics. When she does this she can gain six more eyes, and a pair of retractable mandibles. More drastic changes include her torso enlarges becoming two separate segments. The pelvic area becomes larger and more rounded whereas her front retains most of it's human features. Vespera's arms elongate, the fingers on her hands become sharp and pointed. Her legs shift unnaturally upward to the forward most part of her abdomen and become positioned at an outward angle before becoming spider like legs. Two more pairs spider like limbs protrude from her from expanded pelvic area, in front of her original legs. A good comparison would be a drider (think of a centaur with a spider body instead of a horse), except she has eight limbs in total. That and the divide between human and animal is less abrupt, more like 75 percent spider than half. While transformed to this degree of further Vespera's chitinous form would majorly occupy a ten foot by ten foot cubicle. Skin is replaced with a glossy black carapace. Fine, stiff hairs cover her body, but are only visible up close. While using this ability her strength and speed are doubled from her extra limbs. When using them to walk she can be near silent. Seismic sense is similarly doubled, and eyesight quadrupled. The addition of an exoskeleton provides a large amount of durability, especially against compressive forces. Damaged layers can be shed in exchange for new chiton that lay beneath. The remnants dissipate into a black smoke like substance that seems to roll off her body and consume itself. Her claws, leg tips, and fangs are natural weapons. Along with glands near her lymph nodes that produce an highly acidic neurotoxin, It is capable of eating through a foot of concrete in a minute. She can be inject it via bite, or spit it at a range of 25 feet. She is also capable of selectively transforming or retaining individual parts of her body. This is what allows her to create an exoskeletal limb that has finger like appendages.
Shadow Webs: Instead of having spinnerets, Vespera's creates and manipulates webs made of shadow. These are capable of being solid, incorporeal, or like actual spider web. Solid and traditional web are comparable to titanium bars or cables respectively. The former is capable of complete cover, even with it's gaps. Common uses for this is making walls and shields. Shooting balls of condensed shadow web are viable offence option. Incorporeal webs cannot be interacted with physically by anyone other than Vespera. Meaning that she can climb on them, while everything else passes through. Because the web is really generated elemental energy can be quickly made into complex shapes, and does not require anchoring. If it can be made of web, Vespera can make it. Currently she is learning to shape the ends of her constructs into spikes.
Inner darkness (unlocked later): In a 25 foot radius Vespera is capable of dampening the light levels. It originates from her and spreads outward in all directions. When at full strength the inside is completely devoid of light, outside it looks like a dome of night. Only the brightest of lights are capable of penetrating it's depths, this is further explained in her weaknesses. Most of them time she doesn't go all the way so she can still see. Other times the only purpose is to benefit her shadow webs without restricting vision as much.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Vespera has weaknesses inherent of spiders, and of darkness users. Foremost is her fear of water, and the inability to swim at all in spider form. Spider legs are poor suited for swimming, with her extra body mass and exoskeleton she'd sink like a rock. Even without her entering liquid, her fear of it can give an opponent a terrain advantage. While in spider form, her black exoskeleton absorbs more radiation than lighter colored chitin would. Prolonged exposure will boil her in her carapace. Partially hydraulic locomotion requires excess blood. This in combination with having a lower body temperate than a normal person makes her susceptible to cold. Her movements will start to become sluggish and she will start to shut down quicker than a normal person, the exact rate is proportional degree of transformation. Switching into spider form is not instantaneous. Surprising her, or being quick allows an attacker to damage her more vulnerable humanoid form before she can react. Constant damage can prevent her from transforming at all. The main limiting factor is a degree anatomical correctness. Vespera is only able to make modifications that positionally make sense, and she can't exceed the quantity of parts a standard spider has. For example she can only produce two fangs, and they have to be from her mouth. Aside from smell spiders have inferior senses to humans, thus replacing her human sensory organs reduces her awareness (some spiders eye sight is nearly as good as humans though). Additionally, her spider form makes a larger target, and inhibits fitting through tight places. Her sensitive eyes are easily blinded by bright light. She can only store a cup of poison at a time, and it takes a half hour to fully replenish. The limited quantity makes it poor suited for breaching materials. Glass, some ceramics and metals are completely immune to or hardly affected by the acid. Rupturing her venom glands will cause extra damage to Vespera and deprive her of this offense option.
All of Vespera's darkness abilities are vulnerable to light, this is the most effective way to deal with shadow webs. Light attacks and light emitting abilities cut through them with ease. Durable blades is the next best method. In light levels above 500 lux (typical indoor light levels) they will start to weaken considerably. Exposed to direct sunlight they are no stronger than natural fibers. Additionally, light is also how best to counter the absolute darkness. Users that can directly manipulate light can nullify it. The brightest lights like lasers and plasma can also briefly penetrate the gloom. Anything short will still work as usual with extremely diminished illumination. This ability has a half an hour cool down when used to it's fullest. Excessive use of her shadow abilities causes exhaustion and eventually depletion, at which point she will have to recover before using them again. Injuring Vespera significantly while in human form, or penetrating the lower of her abdomen in spider form (where the spinnerets are usually housed) will cause her leak shadowy smoke quickly eliminating her reserve.
Name: Vespera Spindel (having never never actually been given a name she came up with it for herself, it means evening spider)
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Arachne, Black Widow, Spinner of Shadows
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Height: 6'
Weight: 131 lbs
Status: Returning student, has been attending full time for over 12 years
Appearance
Hair Color: Black with red highlights/streaks throughout
Eye Color: Blood red
Ethnicity: English
Physical Appearance: Even without the clothing side of her image, Vespera's body features and makeup scream goth. The foremost being her straight, midnight hair with scarlet highlights. It flows to her shoulders, and has long bangs that conceal her eyes. With good reason, her long lashed eye's have abnormally large pupils that are sanguine in color. They have an eerie glow to them that make's her efforts to conceal them in vain. Anyone within conversational distance should notice them with ease. That's not the only thing different about her. Vespera's mouth is wide, but not unnaturally so, or to the point it diminishes her attractiveness. The main reason it looks out of place is her lips aren't proportionately thick for their shape. Dark eye shadow with upward angled streaks of red originating from outward facing corners of each eye. Her lipstick is brownish pink color contrary to her red and black theme. As for the rest of her body, Vespera is extremely slender with long limbs. Shaped muscles hug the bone, giving her a toned look despite her overall spindly appearance. Only one area is fatty, I'm sure you can guess where that is. Her hands are like her limbs, long and slender. Thickness, length and the solid red color of her nails make most think that she has fake nails, while they are in fact natural. Color included. She is barely there in the midsection and has hips wider than her bust. Between her shoulder blades is a red hour glass marking. Like a number of her other features, it is a side effect of her power. A pale grayish skin tone clashes with the dark colors she is so fond of. Strangely she has no blemishes or scars of any sort. Equally surprising is the lack of piercings to be found anywhere on her body, she looks the type that would have at least done her ears at least. If she had a healthy complexion, one might say that she had perfect skin. Vespera could easily be mistaken for being younger than she really is.
Attire: Vespera wears the same type of outfit just about everyday. Her main article is a one piece black corset with an attached skirt. Laces of a deep red color create a snug fit, the back is low enough to expose her red hourglass marking. The skirt part itself is knee length, with fringes of black interspersed with crimson. From the toes up she wears a pair of thigh length high heel boots also with matching red laces. These shoes have four inch heels, which add to her already impressive height. This makes her look freakishly tall for a female. Should the fringes on her shirt part enough one might also see that she's wearing fishnet stockings underneath. Her hands and arms are covered by black long sleeved gloves. Curiously they appear to be custom made, as they have sealable slits at the tip of each finger. A silver spider pendant with a large blood ruby embedded in its abdomen rests just above her breasts, and is her only piece of jewelry. Because her hair is unable to properly hide her eyes, Vespera additionally wears a short veil over the top half of her face as an additional measure. Overall her wardrobe is entirely Gothic and extremely promiscuous.

Outward & Innate Personality: Vespera is antisocial, but not in the shy sense. Her behavior would best be described as the way a predator watches it's prey before striking. Just in this case her prey is the other members of the academy. She watches and listens to anything and everything that may come in use later. Any information about others strengths and weaknesses she keeps to herself, but in the case of rumors she likes to pass them along. Her tactic is to bring it up to a gossipy type girl, and let her do the dirty work for her. If she likes the person she'll flatter them, if not she'll blatantly insult them. The in between is when she’s getting to know them. All the while she'll remain level headed and use a sweet tone. Vespera is very competitive and will scheme to make up for defeat at nearly any cost. However, there is one thing that gets her blood to truly boil. Killing a spider. Doing so could result in her transforming, and or trying to murder the offender. This and her attitude causes her to get in more fights than the average student. On the other end she is deathly afraid of water in large quantities and absolutely hates being around it. Near psychopathic mannerisms, physical differences, and her upbringing make it difficult others to closely relate with her and vice versa. Most of her ‘friendships’ were born in either the book or science club.

Christopher Fox | Good | Old acquaintance, friend if let him | "Used to be one of the only people I'd consider opening up to. Surprising he survived for so long without some sort of adaptation or healing power considering his injury and the environment. Seems to fancy me after all these years, could just be the influence of my pheromones on a fractured mind."
Vera Dubnin | Neutral | Shy Nurse | "I can tell she doesn't like me, she needn't say a word. Makes it all he more enjoyable to be around her, or should I say it?"
Valjean Vaseal | Neutral | Occasional Sparing Partner | "Maybe if he took to more to his animal side instead of having such a stereotypical 'macho' mentality he would ditch Deborah. Wonder how long it'll take, he's rather thick and stubborn."

Theresa | Disturbing | Freak Child | "This boy smells like a chemical bath and pretends to be a girl. He makes me question my faith in the natural order."
Deborah Termellio | Neutral | Gossip Girl | "Thinks she knows everything, not even half true. Doesn't realize how often I eaves drop on her and her sad troupe. I occasionally drop in to give her juicy information. It's clear that she doesn't like my motives, but she can't pass up what I have to offer."
Victoria LaRouse | Neutral | Amusing Underdog | "Don't think I've seen anyone so outclassed yet determine to fight me. If she ever wants to dance all she need is ask."
Karlie Davis | Neutral | Fickle Dresser | "Draws a lot of attention to herself with all those outfits. Ultimately of no concern."

Abilities
Power Class: Animal 7, Elemental 6
Power: Vespera has spider physiology and darkness manipulation. The first part of her abilities grants her passive spider like abilities and instincts in humanoid form. She is able to exert enough force to lift something four times her body weight. Her speed and endurance is such that she can sustainably run at a speed 25 miles an hour. In addition, she has wallcrawling, a heightened sense of smell, dark vision, and a seismic sense. Vespera secrets pheromones that make males at ease around her, and adversely makes females uncomfortable in her presence. This scent smells like a rose with a twinge of iron. It also attracts spiders of both genders indiscriminately, and she is able communicate with them.
Vespera is capable of taking on a form with physical spider like characteristics. When she does this she can gain six more eyes, and a pair of retractable mandibles. More drastic changes include her torso enlarges becoming two separate segments. The pelvic area becomes larger and more rounded whereas her front retains most of it's human features. Vespera's arms elongate, the fingers on her hands become sharp and pointed. Her legs shift unnaturally upward to the forward most part of her abdomen and become positioned at an outward angle before becoming spider like legs. Two more pairs spider like limbs protrude from her from expanded pelvic area, in front of her original legs. A good comparison would be a drider (think of a centaur with a spider body instead of a horse), except she has eight limbs in total. That and the divide between human and animal is less abrupt, more like 75 percent spider than half. While transformed to this degree of further Vespera's chitinous form would majorly occupy a ten foot by ten foot cubicle. Skin is replaced with a glossy black carapace. Fine, stiff hairs cover her body, but are only visible up close. While using this ability her strength and speed are doubled from her extra limbs. When using them to walk she can be near silent. Seismic sense is similarly doubled, and eyesight quadrupled. The addition of an exoskeleton provides a large amount of durability, especially against compressive forces. Damaged layers can be shed in exchange for new chiton that lay beneath. The remnants dissipate into a black smoke like substance that seems to roll off her body and consume itself. Her claws, leg tips, and fangs are natural weapons. Along with glands near her lymph nodes that produce an highly acidic neurotoxin, It is capable of eating through a foot of concrete in a minute. She can be inject it via bite, or spit it at a range of 25 feet. She is also capable of selectively transforming or retaining individual parts of her body. This is what allows her to create an exoskeletal limb that has finger like appendages.
Shadow Webs: Instead of having spinnerets, Vespera's creates and manipulates webs made of shadow. These are capable of being solid, incorporeal, or like actual spider web. Solid and traditional web are comparable to titanium bars or cables respectively. The former is capable of complete cover, even with it's gaps. Common uses for this is making walls and shields. Shooting balls of condensed shadow web are viable offence option. Incorporeal webs cannot be interacted with physically by anyone other than Vespera. Meaning that she can climb on them, while everything else passes through. Because the web is really generated elemental energy can be quickly made into complex shapes, and does not require anchoring. If it can be made of web, Vespera can make it. Currently she is learning to shape the ends of her constructs into spikes.
Inner darkness (unlocked later): In a 25 foot radius Vespera is capable of dampening the light levels. It originates from her and spreads outward in all directions. When at full strength the inside is completely devoid of light, outside it looks like a dome of night. Only the brightest of lights are capable of penetrating it's depths, this is further explained in her weaknesses. Most of them time she doesn't go all the way so she can still see. Other times the only purpose is to benefit her shadow webs without restricting vision as much.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Vespera has weaknesses inherent of spiders, and of darkness users. Foremost is her fear of water, and the inability to swim at all in spider form. Spider legs are poor suited for swimming, with her extra body mass and exoskeleton she'd sink like a rock. Even without her entering liquid, her fear of it can give an opponent a terrain advantage. While in spider form, her black exoskeleton absorbs more radiation than lighter colored chitin would. Prolonged exposure will boil her in her carapace. Partially hydraulic locomotion requires excess blood. This in combination with having a lower body temperate than a normal person makes her susceptible to cold. Her movements will start to become sluggish and she will start to shut down quicker than a normal person, the exact rate is proportional degree of transformation. Switching into spider form is not instantaneous. Surprising her, or being quick allows an attacker to damage her more vulnerable humanoid form before she can react. Constant damage can prevent her from transforming at all. The main limiting factor is a degree anatomical correctness. Vespera is only able to make modifications that positionally make sense, and she can't exceed the quantity of parts a standard spider has. For example she can only produce two fangs, and they have to be from her mouth. Aside from smell spiders have inferior senses to humans, thus replacing her human sensory organs reduces her awareness (some spiders eye sight is nearly as good as humans though). Additionally, her spider form makes a larger target, and inhibits fitting through tight places. Her sensitive eyes are easily blinded by bright light. She can only store a cup of poison at a time, and it takes a half hour to fully replenish. The limited quantity makes it poor suited for breaching materials. Glass, some ceramics and metals are completely immune to or hardly affected by the acid. Rupturing her venom glands will cause extra damage to Vespera and deprive her of this offense option.
All of Vespera's darkness abilities are vulnerable to light, this is the most effective way to deal with shadow webs. Light attacks and light emitting abilities cut through them with ease. Durable blades is the next best method. In light levels above 500 lux (typical indoor light levels) they will start to weaken considerably. Exposed to direct sunlight they are no stronger than natural fibers. Additionally, light is also how best to counter the absolute darkness. Users that can directly manipulate light can nullify it. The brightest lights like lasers and plasma can also briefly penetrate the gloom. Anything short will still work as usual with extremely diminished illumination. This ability has a half an hour cool down when used to it's fullest. Excessive use of her shadow abilities causes exhaustion and eventually depletion, at which point she will have to recover before using them again. Injuring Vespera significantly while in human form, or penetrating the lower of her abdomen in spider form (where the spinnerets are usually housed) will cause her leak shadowy smoke quickly eliminating her reserve.

Basic Information
Name: Alex Beta
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Al, Star Child, Moon Moon, Really fucking glowy.
Gender: Female
Age: Seventeen
Height: 5'6
Weight: 110 pounds
Status: new Student
Appearance
Hair Color: She was born with dark hair, but as soon as she powers came out it became very bright blonde. It's been rumored that it glows in the dark.
Eye Color: Dark Blue.
Ethnicity: Her mother is white and her father is of Romani descent.
Physical Appearance: Alex looks more or less like a totally normal kid, and certainly not a bad looking one either. Tall and Lanky and two words that immediately describe Alex, like a young kid who hasn't had much time at a gym, as shown by her thin and weak looking arms and legs. Her back and shoulders are rather thin too. Obviously no star athlete here. Her face is a bit child like, making it easy to mistake her for someone much younger then her. Her eyes are large and round, dark blue, and seem to sparkle when she is excited about something. Above her eyes are two, scruffy, eyebrows that raise when she is shocked. The rest of her features are small and smooth, as if her skin had been painted over to hid any impurities. The only mark on her face is painfully obvious, a large scar stretching across the bridge of her nose. Her hair is just about as unkempt as her eyebrows, matching them in an almost unnatural platinum blonde color, and almost reaches to her shoulders with bangs that brush over her eyes.
Attire: Alex's personal style, if it can really be called that, would be loose and relaxed. She loves to wear long, baggy, and not form fitting sweaters with cute designs such as animal of polka dots and stripes. Even in the summer. Alex also prefers to wear shorts over pants or skirts and dresses but will if mandatory. Alex never wears jewelry on a day to day basis and hardly wears makeup. Alex also wears corrective contact lenses, or glasses if she feels too lazy to put them in her eyes. Shoes are somewhat of a strange concept to Alex, and she doesn't like wearing them. Sandals are normally as far as she would go.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Alex is one of those people with a complete "can do" attitude. She tries her hardest in everything she does, as a way to redeem herself or some sad back story sh*t like that, and tries her hardest to keep her teammates positive too. This positivity can come off as clingy annoyance to people who don't like constant interaction. She can also come off as childish or innocent, but she is far from this. Alex has a rather complex past, one she doesn't often share with others, that shapes her into a rather complex person.
Alex has a very youthful personality and an optimistic outlook to life and adventure. She can be quite reckless when she needs to have fun but normally, she'll go about everything with a cool approach. To go with that, adventure and discovery are what she dearly craves. She has the constant urge to "discover what's out there". She sometimes struggles to be affectionate and outwardly emotional however manages to controls fear/sadness/clinging emotions.
Hobbies/Interests: Alex loves playing video games of all sorts. Puzzle, action, adventure you name it she most likely has played a least one game that can be sorted into it. And while she certainly isn't amazing at them, they are a fun distraction from school work and other stress inducing things. Along with video games Alex enjoys reading books, mainly non fiction, and watching movies, mainly fantasy. She normally keeps by herself while relaxing, or hangs out with a few close friends who don't mind her gabbing throughout the entire movie then wanting to watch the sequels.
Skills/Talents: While this technically would be part of hobbies, Alex is extremely skilled in anything related to space. This could be identifying constellations and cosmic structures to going off on tangents about all sorts of fun facts about the stars. It just comes naturally to her.
Prized Possession: A necklace she always wears, the design on it is of a nebula.
Quote(s): “Space...the final frontier...wait fuck.”
History/Bio: I'm gonna keep it a sneaky secret.
Family: Alex grew up in a big happy home with a large amount of people. Grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins as well as her mother, father and abundance of brothers and sisters.
Relationships
Relationships::
[Lynn] Wow she's pretty great! She is strong and nice and so cool! I hope we can become better friends.
[Henry] He looks pretty cool, for a teacher and a guy with a doctors degree at twenty two. I wonder what he's a doctor of. I wouldn't trust him in surgery.
[Vespera] Bluh Bluh Bluh huge bitch.
Abilities
Power Class: Cosmic (Cosmic 7)
Power: Celestial Space Manipulation Users are capable of manipulating and controlling the energies of deep space and the celestial objects that reside within it, giving access to a variety of exotic elemental abilities.
Attacking: By harnessing spacey energies Alex can shoot out various forms of projectiles. These can vary in size from being harmless glow orbs to horribly devastating beams of star energy. The larger beams can cause more damage but come at the cost of taking much longer to charge, aim and takes up much more energy.
Non Attacking: Alex can use her powers in many other ways other then for her own defense. She can cause her eyes (and entire body if she tries hard enough) to brightly glow thus providing light to anyone who needs it (very useful during power outages). She can also hover using her own sense of space gravity, or lack of.
Alex doesn't know much about her current powers, she wants to be able to explore them to their fullest potential. She would love to be able to summon the powers of supernovas to create an ultimate attack, one that would likely cause harm to Alex as well, and maybe find a way to create portals through manipulating the space around her. Alex thinks summoning meteoroids would be pretty fucking sweet too.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Alex needs to recharge using the light of the moon in order to be able to use her powers, and technically keep herself alive. Her powers are also considerably weaker when they are used indoor, away from natural light.
Other: Alex is a night owl to the extreme sense of the phrase. She absolutely cannot sleep when the moon is shining, is makes her feel more awake and lively. This has lead her to often falling asleep in class, or in strange places like the cafe.

Height: 6'1
Weight: 152 lbs
Status: Returning Student
Appearance
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: A dark, murky yellow
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Physical Appearance: While tall and physically fit, Charlie is by no means extremely handsome. His entire look gives off a dark vide, making him always look rather somber, regardless of mood. His eyes help to this effect, their dark murky color making his face look sad. His hair is unruly and falls just above his eyebrows. He has a number of scars on his body but the most noticeable is a long one going down his leg. He looks messy and unruly and his appearance generally makes people fear him.
But the most interesting thing about Charlie, is that fact that he has a number of very sharp, very deadly, teeth.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Charming yet assholeish is the best way to describe him. Perhaps arrogant. He speaks a lot, generally with sarcasm and makes many people seem stupid. He talks quickly and to the point and is very aggressive. He hates to lose which is why he plays sports, because he loves to win. He loves 218 and considers it his only home, he will do anything to defend it. While he may seems aggressive and rude, most people end up talking to him. They either love him or hate him, mainly because he tends not to be ignored. He makes sure of it. While not an attention whore, he does want to be noticed, he wants to get his voice out there, he wants people to know he exists. He's there. He knows who you are. His appearance and powers have sparked a number of rumors that he finds both funny and exciting. He tends to be vague when answering any questions related to them. He's somewhat charming and can generally sweet talk people into a number of things, though mostly he does it through aggression.

History/Bio:
Born to the humble family of Jaime and the then Catherine Holt, Charlie lived a quiet life he grew up like most average four year olds. He went to pre-school, he had friends, and he had not a tint of yellow eyes. But, it soon changed, not that the four year old would know what exactly had changed. His father had gone off to fight in the war. A group of powered terrorists were killing all who opposed them. But Charlie knew nothing of this. He only knew two things. Something had changed, and his father was gone. And by the age of five, he and his mother had moved to a smaller place. His father was gone, forever, and his mother would only tell him small bits of his new, changed world. He went to school, he had some friends, but now just a small small few, and his eyes. Well they were just the same dark brown they had been his entire life. But something was wrong, he wasn't a bubbly child who laughed and loved to play, he was somber and quiet and he spoke little of what he thought. The small boy was almost scary. But not quite. There was still life about him. There was anyway.
As the years slowly dragged by his mother spent more time away, more time somewhere else. "Working" she said, but it was all the same to Charlie. No excuse to disregard this one fact, his mother was gone too. When he was eight, his mother began dating Luke Jackson, a rich business man. By the time Charlie was nine, they got married and suddenly, Charlie moved yet again. But, this time he understood why, and hated it. He fought constantly with his mother and his mood grew even darker. When they began living with Luke and his daughter, Paige, Charlie came to know one thing. He did not want to be there. The weight of this realization put a pressure on him like no other. He simply did not want to be there. Regardless of anything good that might come to him, being there was wrong, unnatural. Then was when his eyes turned yellow. Then was when Charlie Holt, became truly terrifying.
The letter arrived one day in a small neat note. It explained everything, simple and quick and it wasn't of the type of material a ten year old couldn't handle. Of course it wasn't easy. His mother fought and they battled. He cried out his woes and she demanded explanations, but in all honesty, the fights do not need to be described in detail. Only one thing must. Simply put, Charlie got to leave. He got to go someplace better. Someplace not there.
When Charlie arrived on the island one thing became abundantly clear. He had to work. It was unlike school before, where he had breezed by easily, now it was hard and it wasn't just school work. Training and fighting. Learning to control new powers. But he loved it. Anyone who saw Charlie during those early years at 218 could only describe him as happy. He had a sense of euphoria. He talked a lot, made a lot of jokes. He enjoyed his life like he hadn't in a very long time. He was happy. And so he grew and learned and fought.

Power Class: Super System/Animal
Power: (Super = Greatly Powered, Enhanced = Majorly Powered, Strengthened = Somewhat powered)
Super Hearing, Super Smelling, Enhanced Endurance, Enhanced Speed, Strengthened Muscle Power, Strengthened Willpower and as mentioned before SUPER CHOMPERS
His powers mainly replicate a wolf
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: While he may be able to kick ass, he is extremely vulnerable to long ranged attacks, and even though he could slap the shit out of you, his powers sometimes simply cannot go to the levels that others can. It's like Batman vs Superman, Superman wins every time, just based on his powers.
Other:
Over the later years of his time at 218 Charlie set up a small betting arena on matches held. While not entirely under school rules all they could get him on were rumors, and anyone in it didn't say a thing. A year into it he began hosting both powered and un-powered unofficial tournaments. Two classmates would challenge each other, people might bet on and watch the fight and the two would shake hands and walk away. That what it looked like anyway. Not that the amount of people didn't raise suspicion but nothing was done about it. The prize pool consisted of the total entree fee for all the fighters. More fighters, more money to the winner. Donations were also accepted. Because of this, Charlie's name became quite popular, and most people end up meeting him at some point or another. After all, all roads lead to the Arena.

Super Hearing, Super Smelling, Enhanced Endurance, Enhanced Speed, Strengthened Muscle Power, Strengthened Willpower and as mentioned before SUPER CHOMPERS
His powers mainly replicate a wolf
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: While he may be able to kick ass, he is extremely vulnerable to long ranged attacks, and even though he could slap the shit out of you, his powers sometimes simply cannot go to the levels that others can. It's like Batman vs Superman, Superman wins every time, just based on his powers.
Other:
Over the later years of his time at 218 Charlie set up a small betting arena on matches held. While not entirely under school rules all they could get him on were rumors, and anyone in it didn't say a thing. A year into it he began hosting both powered and un-powered unofficial tournaments. Two classmates would challenge each other, people might bet on and watch the fight and the two would shake hands and walk away. That what it looked like anyway. Not that the amount of people didn't raise suspicion but nothing was done about it. The prize pool consisted of the total entree fee for all the fighters. More fighters, more money to the winner. Donations were also accepted. Because of this, Charlie's name became quite popular, and most people end up meeting him at some point or another. After all, all roads lead to the Arena.

Physical Appearance: Deborah is an obviously athletic teen with the look and demeanor of an adventurer. Her legs have plenty of muscle are packed onto them, an indicator she is a devote track runner and a soccer player. Her figure is fairly slim, she doesn't have much width to her body. Deborah is pretty good looking, though, she has a few scars. Deborah's racial identity is African-American. Her skin is a very dark color, darker than most, obviously showing off her ethnicity. Her skin isn't fair, she has plenty of scars. From childhood blunders, to getting injured while playing sports. Her knees are absolutely covered in scars. She has a scar that's on the side of her leg that starts at her knee and goes down to her heel. It was from a injury so horrific I won't even describe it! Deborah is a little tall, she stands at 5'9ft, a few inches taller than the average female height. She weighs around 146lb, not too heavy, but due to her muscles she has a bit of weight to her.

She wouldn't be caught dead in a skirt or a dress. She wears sneakers or combat boots, not for their style, but for their practicality
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: A naturally curious and adventurous young girl. She's easily one of the most calm and sympathetic people in the 218 - Owing to her power. She constantly searches for new information, and learn more and more about people - And it's natural that she wishes to share it with friends. She's a real gossip girl, and what's gossip if you don't share it? Though, it sometimes appears that she has an obsession with gossip and information - Which clouds her judgement in decision making. In a hostage situation, she won't make the best choice for everyone, she'll make the choice that nets her the most information. Thus, she's not the best decision maker, and she tends to get herself into trouble. Deborah likes to make plenty of friends, and study group dynamics while she's at it. Most of her drive to learn about people comes from her power. She likes to be the person people come to share their problems and secrets. Despite her gossip-girl reputation, she keeps a secret a secret. When Deborah speaks, she is quite extroverted, nice and out going. She is seemingly a master of any social situation, no social cue, body language, or phrase ever goes over her head. She is quite snarky and playful, sometimes casually dropping info to get a rise out of people (Only people she finds annoying). Deborah is quite intelligent and philosophical. She comes up with sayings with deep meaning, sometimes speaks poetically, and can see the symbolism in things quite well - Which is something she sometimes shares with friends. Deborah is a very open human being, she's willing to share just about anything about herself with friends. Deborah tries to keep herself calm and collected as possible, she knows the risk of losing control, but there are moments where emotion takes over. There are people that Deborah is very distrustful of; mainly the people that her power tells are shady or up to no good. But, Deborah tries to see the good in people regardless, and believes that (mostly) everyone can be redeemed. It's only natural that she tries to help people, and provide a helping hand whenever she can. She is actually emotionally insecure about herself, and tries to appear to be the person she wants to be, instead of the person she is. Deborah is a lesbian, but she is very unsure and insecure about it. She doesn't want to be shunned for her sexuality, so she keeps it a secret the best she can.
Hobbies/Interests: Sports, music, girls, etc etc
Skills/Talents: Deborah is an exceptional track runner, she runs with the speed and vigor of men twice her size. She has also played plenty of soccer when she was younger. Deborah is talented at instruments, she is an excellent violinist.

Abilities
Power Class: Cerebral/Extra-Sensory 8
Power: Psychometric-Perception. This is undoubtedly Deborah's main power. This power is very complex and hard to explain, but I'll try. Basically, Deborah's power gives her information about what she perceives by making connections, filling in the gaps of information. For example, if she finds a gun on the ground smoking, she can tell how long ago it's been shot and where. If someone's crying, she can tell that they're hurt. If someone's washes their hands, she can tell what dirtied their hands (It's usually nasty). Finally, if she found a plate of unfinished food, she can tell who was eating it, and why they had to stop. That kind of stuff. Usually, it tells her random information about what she perceives. This ability works better if she's touching something. Like, if she touches it while focusing, she can filter out unnecessary information. Before you ask, this power doesn't tell her what people think or feel. This power straight up gives her information, not scenes, not thoughts, not memories.
Psychometric Telepathy. A form of Telepathy that Deborah has been practicing, and has nearly gotten down. It works in conjunction with her first power. She can access the minds of others by touching an object related to the person. Such as the handkerchief she got from Shannon, she grabs it, and can open a telepathic link with her at any time. It's a very basic, rudimentary form of telepathy, thus she can only read thoughts and send them. This also doubles as Tactile Telepathy, if Deborah is touching someone, she can initiate her telepathic ability.
Premonitions. A recent ability that Deborah has developed, and by far the most subtle. She receives instinctive and subconscious premonitions about what's to come, and what's currently going on, mostly the bad side of things. Such as if someone's following her, she'll get that feeling that someone's nearby, or if someone has hostile intentions, she'll pick up on it, or if she's in the middle of something shady, she can tell when someone's coming. That kind of stuff. It's not accurate as her other abilities, and it's so subtle that she didn't even know that she had the ability until told. Eventually it'll get far more accurate as she develops, it'll even get to the point where she basically has precognition.
Retrocognition. This ability allows Deborah to see visions of the past without being there. This ability will be mostly triggered by her Psychometric-Connections, but will be random. But it can go far back as years if she has the right information.
Powers in her potential are...
Sensory Scrying. By touching another human being, Deborah can see through their eyes, experiencing everything they experience. Once she's touched someone, she can freely activate this power at will. However, when she does this, she'll be deprived of her own senses.
Object Scrying. Similar to her sensory scrying ability, Deborah can use an object to view a distant event or person (From a third-person/bird's eye view) for a few seconds.
Psychic Shield. Deborah can learn how to put up a mental shield around herself that will defend her against Cerebral/Extra-Sensory powers - The kind of powers that would give them information about her. In the case of Telepaths/Empaths, they would simply be unable to read her. In the case of Precogs, she wouldn't appear in any visions, or if someone had a similar ability to her, they wouldn't get information about her.
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: Her Psychometric-Perception ability has a few drawbacks. This one is equally hard to explain. It needs a starting point before it she can get started, no randomly getting the information she wants. She has to physically get the starting point using her senses. Such as, someone has a small inklet of blood dripping down their leg, Deborah has to physically see it before she can make any connections. Or if she smells something weird, she can tell that it's gas. Get the picture right? Incomplete, false, or broken information is her other weakness, as her power won't work correctly otherwise. She also runs the risk of an information overload where her mind gets loaded with so much information that she can barely process it and starts experiencing violent headaches. She could even give herself an aneurysm if she's not careful. Her power is also interfered with when dealing with other extrasensory and cerebral (As in telepaths) types. They produce a 'static' that just screws up her power. Deborah's telepathy is extremely weak and basic, and can easily be trumped by other, stronger, telepaths. She also can't freely read people's minds, she needs something connected to them. Such as an item owned by the person. Because of such a power Deborah has a near insatiable drive to get new information, from any and all subjects - Which can cloud her judgement and lead to rash decisions just in the name. It can also drive her to risk herself to get more new pieces of information.

Basic Information
Name: Alejandra Hernandez
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Alex
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 120 lbs
Status: New student
Appearance
Hair Color: Auburn
Eye Color: Hazel-brown
Ethnicity: Latina
Physical Appearance: Alex, lacking much meat and small-framed, has the general appearance of someone who would be very short. However, she’s just about average in height. Though not quite underweight, she is definitely close, and isn’t very curvy nor busty. Due to this and her shorter, shaggy hair, she is often mistaken for being a younger boy. This is no problem to her, though, as she tends to identify with her more “tom-boy”ish side.
As mentioned above, her hair is a bit wild and shaggy, going down just past her chin. Normally, she doesn’t style it, and instead allows it to bask in its curly, unpredictable glory. The look goes with her tanned skin and dark eyes well, giving her an almost untamed look. Despite the edges to her appearance, she has very soft facial features. Her face is round and innocent looking, the shape accenting her high cheekbones well. Though her nose is a bit large and hooked, the quirk almost adds to the child-like softness. Most of the time, Alex won’t bother with makeup, but for special occasions will wear lipstick and give herself a classic smokey-eyed look.
One of Alex’s bigger insecurities is something few even notice (partially due to her attempts to cover it up): A birthmark on her left shoulder. About three feet in radius, it is an almost perfect circle, and is situated just above her collar-bone, and slightly closer to her neck than to the edge of her shoulder. The skin here is just a few shades darker than the rest, and so while noticeable, the mark is by no means gross like she thinks it is.
Attire: Though she values her appearance to some extent, Alex isn’t known for going very far out in fashion. She leans toward more “edgy” clothes, and on colder days will wear a black leather jacket. Most days, though, she will wear skinny jeans, boots, and a T-shirt or flannel. A couple times a week, she’ll switch the T-shirt and flannel out for a vest, sweater, or something else that involves a bit more effort. Most of the T-shirts that she wears are band or DJ shirts, as she is very into music. Some also have pop culture references, or puns.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Alex is the type of person that would be described as selfless, wise beyond her years, and an endless giver. Though she does, indeed, make an effort to reach out to those in need and befriend people of as many social and ethnic backgrounds as possible, she is guilty of finding herself judging others for more changeable characteristics. She is always as pleasant as possible to all those around her, though inwardly, she often critiques fashion choices, level of intelligence, political outlooks, musical tastes, and other such traits. This is covered well, though, and she internalizes all of these thoughts. Also, the observation that she is constantly trying to give is very much true, but she often sees past those in need directly around her. For example, a friend may come to her with a problem, but she will pass it off as attention-seeking or pointless drama, and instead focus on donating to charities when, in fact, the friend is in a dire situation. Put simply, she views many directly around her as lesser, and those she doesn’t actually know as a priority.
Hobbies/Interests: More than anything, Alex loves music and always has. She has played the piano since she was four, and has since grown to love all different genres and has begun DJing. Music has always been a huge part of her life, and now, if asked about why she is so passionate about the subject, she will say something along the lines of “Music is a language everybody speaks.” Going with a similar worldly theme, Alex also loves to cook and eat all sorts of food. Though she is best with Puerto Rican cuisine, she is slowly teaching herself more variations of different dishes and is thoroughly enjoying discovering all the foods the world has to offer.
Skills/Talents: Alex is wonderful with music. As mentioned before, she has played piano since she was four, and has spent her life since then trying to master the instrument, among other instruments. She can play multiple other instruments casually, including the violin, guitar, drums, saxophone, and banjo. In recent years, though, she has gotten very heavily into electronic instruments. She has a Launchpad and FLstudio, that she has slowly been mastering and now uses these to create remixes and electro music, tossing in bits from other real instruments as well. She only owns a keyboard, violin, and guitar, so she doesn’t often get the chance to use the other instruments.
As for cooking, Alex isn’t the best. Though she is improving, she can really only make the basic foods that her mother has been making with her all her life (ie, empanadas, fried platanos, and other puerto rican cuisine.)
Alex is also a very skilled reader. She doesn’t enjoy it much and would rather be out discovering the world on her own, but when she does pick books up she impresses those around her. She is able to get through books in incredible times, and has an immense vocabulary despite not spending much time reading or looking into new words at all.
Prized Possession: Alex absolutely adores her guitar. It used to be her father’s, but he gave it to her before she moved to America, and so it is one of the few things that she keeps that reminds her of home back in Puerto Rico. Going with this, her Launchpad is a close second on her list of valued items. She has only had it for three years or so, but it has enabled her to explore music more than ever before.
History/Bio: (I will PM you more if you want, but I would like to keep it in the down low for development.) Alex was raised in Vieques, Puerto Rico. She attended public school here until shortly after her fourteenth birthday, when she and her mother moved to America to live with her aunt and uncle. Her powers since grew stronger, and she was invited to the academy three years later.

Abilities
Power Class: Extra-Sensory
Power: Alex is skilled in both projective and receptive Omnilingualism. This means that she can pick up on language and understand what is being said in foreign languages quite easily, and with effort, project what she wants to say into other’s languages. Though understanding language is second nature to her, she can only understand what is being said, and this doesn’t mean that she automatically learns the language. Learning is certainly easier, but it isn’t as if she can automatically speak every language ever. And, to be able to project words into one’s mind in their native tongue is quite difficult for Alex to do. Though with experience it is becoming a bit easier, the process is still quite tiring and she avoids bothering with it most of the time, as afterward it is immensely harder to understand what is being said.
Alex also has the capability to pick up on Electronic communication, meaning that she could sense radio waves and even communicate with technology. Though she has barely touched the surface of this branch of her skillset, she could train herself to improve upon her technological abilities. At first, it would take as much energy as projective omnilingualism, but possibly, it could become much easier.
Level: 1
Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks: As stated above, projective omnilingualism is quite difficult for Alex to perform, and it hinders her receptive abilities as well. After a long period of time of exhausting her receptive capabilities, basic functions such as reading, even in English or Spanish, can become quite difficult for Alex as well. This is only in extreme cases, though.
Name: Alejandra Hernandez
Nickname/Alias/Etc: Alex
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 120 lbs
Status: New student
Appearance
Hair Color: Auburn
Eye Color: Hazel-brown
Ethnicity: Latina
Physical Appearance: Alex, lacking much meat and small-framed, has the general appearance of someone who would be very short. However, she’s just about average in height. Though not quite underweight, she is definitely close, and isn’t very curvy nor busty. Due to this and her shorter, shaggy hair, she is often mistaken for being a younger boy. This is no problem to her, though, as she tends to identify with her more “tom-boy”ish side.
As mentioned above, her hair is a bit wild and shaggy, going down just past her chin. Normally, she doesn’t style it, and instead allows it to bask in its curly, unpredictable glory. The look goes with her tanned skin and dark eyes well, giving her an almost untamed look. Despite the edges to her appearance, she has very soft facial features. Her face is round and innocent looking, the shape accenting her high cheekbones well. Though her nose is a bit large and hooked, the quirk almost adds to the child-like softness. Most of the time, Alex won’t bother with makeup, but for special occasions will wear lipstick and give herself a classic smokey-eyed look.
One of Alex’s bigger insecurities is something few even notice (partially due to her attempts to cover it up): A birthmark on her left shoulder. About three feet in radius, it is an almost perfect circle, and is situated just above her collar-bone, and slightly closer to her neck than to the edge of her shoulder. The skin here is just a few shades darker than the rest, and so while noticeable, the mark is by no means gross like she thinks it is.
Attire: Though she values her appearance to some extent, Alex isn’t known for going very far out in fashion. She leans toward more “edgy” clothes, and on colder days will wear a black leather jacket. Most days, though, she will wear skinny jeans, boots, and a T-shirt or flannel. A couple times a week, she’ll switch the T-shirt and flannel out for a vest, sweater, or something else that involves a bit more effort. Most of the T-shirts that she wears are band or DJ shirts, as she is very into music. Some also have pop culture references, or puns.
Personality
Outward & Innate Personality: Alex is the type of person that would be described as selfless, wise beyond her years, and an endless giver. Though she does, indeed, make an effort to reach out to those in need and befriend people of as many social and ethnic backgrounds as possible, she is guilty of finding herself judging others for more changeable characteristics. She is always as pleasant as possible to all those around her, though inwardly, she often critiques fashion choices, level of intelligence, political outlooks, musical tastes, and other such traits. This is covered well, though, and she internalizes all of these thoughts. Also, the observation that she is constantly trying to give is very much true, but she often sees past those in need directly around her. For example, a friend may come to her with a problem, but she will pass it off as attention-seeking or pointless drama, and instead focus on donating to charities when, in fact, the friend is in a dire situation. Put simply, she views many directly around her as lesser, and those she doesn’t actually know as a priority.
Hobbies/Interests: More than anything, Alex loves music and always has. She has played the piano since she was four, and has since grown to love all different genres and has begun DJing. Music has always been a huge part of her life, and now, if asked about why she is so passionate about the subject, she will say something along the lines of “Music is a language everybody speaks.” Going with a similar worldly theme, Alex also loves to cook and eat all sorts of food.
