[centre][b]Even God Cares Not: Chapter 1: Our Very Own Sun[/b][/centre] Facility 3 Datalog: 7th January 2011 It is fortunate that we have received the samples without significant casualties. The samples were all of ages 15 to 18, though our equipment to determine ages for some of the samples could not be used due to physical limitations. We had to hazard a guess in most cases, as the samples were too dangerous to talk to or unwilling to cooperate with us. These samples have powers that are not easily explained by conventional science. But this is what this facility is for, and we will make sure that they will be explained. Laboratory morale has dropped significantly since the arrival of samples. Due to budget limitations, we are unable to permanently solve the morale issue. However, HQ has approved the self-defence measures that senior research staff requested, so any morale issues will not pose a permanent danger to us. (Addendum: Senior research staff were unable to find appropriate silencers for their self-defence measures.) Datalog: 8th January 2011 Testing was delayed due to Dr. O'Brien and his attempts to make his opinions of the experiments clear. We have dealt with him in accordance to facility regulations. Unfortunately, one of the samples reacted poorly to O'Brien's termination. The resulting damage, inclusive of personnel, was noticeable. While progress has been slowed, it will not be terminated. Datalog: 9th January 2011 HQ has sent heavy backup to the facility. It is unclear if heavy security will have any effect on our ability to continue our testing. Unfortunately, I do not believe that this heavy security will have any real effect on our real security, however. If the samples truly wish to break our of the facility, we will be helpless. Testing will begin again. --- The date is 10th January 2011. You are all 'samples', or strange genetic freaks of nature. Caught by a mysterious scientific facility, even 3 days in this facility full of shining cold walls and scientists that address you by numbers rather than names, the burning wish to escape is strong in your heart. Today is the day. This is the first chapter of a story about mutants. Rules: 1. No godmodding/powerplaying. 2. For dramatic effect, I think some characters should die in the escape. 3. Check your spelling and grammar! 4. The mutants will be the star of the story. The science team will play important parts in this chapter, but they will not be around forever. 5. [b]THIS IS NOT A STORY ABOUT BEING BADASS MUTANTS.[/b] There is no world to save. [hider=This is how this chapter would probably end]Escaping from the facility, perhaps with some casualties, the mutants find themselves in the middle of the highway at night, hungry and tired. A passing limousine stops by their side.

Tell me when you're expunging. 2. Mutants will never have expunged data. Expunged data only refers to data that Facility 3 does not want other members of Facility 3 to know. 3. There will be very little expunged data, overall. I'd like to keep the strange things about the science team to a minimum. 4.

Both his parents naturally had a strong work ethic which they instilled in Jakob but were also obsessed with having a perfect family and the idea of having a 'gifted' child. Expectations of Jakob were high and he was home schooled from a young age to become gifted; his languages already included English, German and Polish but he was also taught Spanish and French in his teenage years. As well as this, his parents devised a 'four year rule', in which he would learn what his most intelligent peers had four years before they did. When Jakob failed to live up to his parents expectations, his father would often beat him and he received little sympathy from his mother either. Over time, Jakob began developing an anxiety disorder which brought on regular panic attacks when he felt he wasn't achieving. The family moved to America in 2010 when Jakob had turned 17. Several months later, his parents bodies were found beheaded and without any limbs in the trash can near their house and Jakob was gone. Abilities: His body is armed with two, three metre long telekinetic tentacles which he can grow from his chest on will. They are razor sharp and strong enough to withstand bullets. His obvious weakness is his difficulty in using them against anything more than three metres away from himself. As well as this, he is unable to use his tentacles when in unbearable pain / very weak / drugged.[/hider] [hider=Rainee Marcus (DotCom)][center][img]http://sunmountainreviews.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/redhead-with-freckles-and-green-eyes.jpg%3Fw%3D593[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Rainee Marcus | [b]Age:[/b] 16 | [b]Ability:[/b] Pyrokinetic [b]Traits:[/b] Loud • Easy Going • Entirely Too Friendly • Optimistic [b]Skills:[/b] Speed/Agility - She's a hurdler for her high school track team • Charm - People tend to like her. She can be quite manipulative • Knitting - She makes a mean scarf. [b]History:[/b] Rainee, an exuberant, sometimes obnoxious girl by nature, discovered her powers when she was six years old. She had always been more likely to laugh or sing or dance or just bounce in place than fight or argue, but when she found two older boys picking on her quiet, withdrawn twin brother at the park one day, she saw red. Perhaps literally. It was the last thing she remembered. When she woke up in the hospital a week later with no memory of what had happened. She was told she had been rescued by the local authorities from a fire that had started in the dry grasses of the park. Someone, they told her, must have dropped a cigarette and started the strange blaze. Her brother had run for help, and Rainee had been found, unconscious, in the grass, apparently stricken with heat exhaustion and smoke inhalation, though there were no burn marks on her body. The other two boys, "hadn't made it." When her brother told her what had really happened, she'd cried for a week. She still doesn't talk about that day. Two weeks after her sixteenth birthday, Rainee and her twin brother went missing from a house fire that killed both their parents.[/center][/hider] [hider=Cade Marcus (DotCom)][center][img]http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/cb/ee/ef/cbeeef331a94e11be3763bfec70d84cb.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Cade Marcus | [b]Age:[/b] 16 | [b]Ability:[/b] Hydrokinetic [b]Traits:[/b] Reclusive • Intelligent • Secretly Hilarious [b]Skills:[/b] Strength - He's got some wiry muscle, for a skinny kid • Logic - Good at planning things • Piano - Like a young, (more) awkward Elton John [b]History:[/b] Cade was opposite his sister in every way, and yet the two seemed made for each other. Always much more reserved and thoughtful, he discovered his ability first, though he kept it from his sister for almost a year, afraid of what she would say. He'd been at a birthday party, too afraid to swim, wishing he was at home. Rainee had been dutifully playing with him on the tarmac, but when it grew too hot, she ran off to find them some ice cream. A 'friend' took the opportunity to push the shy redhead into the pool; Cade had panicked, and before he knew what was happening, dragged the boy in with him...without ever having touched him. Both he and the boy had seen the water lap around the latter's ankles and pull him under. Cade was dubbed a savior and future lifeguard when he dove in after the kid and hauled him out, coughing and sputtering. The kid never talked to him again, and Cade couldn't accept any praise. Two weeks after his sixteenth birthday, he woke up to find a strange man crouched over his bed. Impossibly, a moment later, Rainee was there, with a look in her eyes he knew well. The next thing he knew, the house was gone, and he and his sister were being dragged away.[/center][/hider] [hider=Lucas (Xionist)][center] [img=http://i62.tinypic.com/ea329z.jpg] [b]Name:[/b] Subject 1126 (Lucas) [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Height: 5'10"[/b] --- [b]Weight: 149lbs[/b] --- [b]Hair Length: Medium-Long(Shoulder length)[/b] [b]Abilities: [/b] [i]This is the only datalog we could recover after the attack on Scyntell Facility.[/i] Datalog: 3rd January 2011 Subject continues to stay extremely hostile and uncooperative. The other scientists fear to get anywhere near the subject's cell. We are to lose funding soon if we cannot get testing started on the subject soon. Termination cannot be an option. Despite the subject's erratic nature his human genetic code had completely adapted to the foriegn DNA. This is our best chance at unlocking the full potential of the human genome. [i]Below is a list of alterations done to the Sample that we collected from the Scyntell Facility. These notes may be outdated as most of the notes for this project were destroyed during the attack.[/i] [i] [b]Wolf Genetics:[/b] Subject's body took very little modification with the introduction of the wolf genetics. His nails have become claws and the subject's speed and endurance has greatly increased. More testing will be required in the future. The subject's senses have all been greatly increased over time. During past testing exercises before other genetic modifications were introduced; the subject has proved to be able to track down even the most obscure scents within the facility. His hearing has been heightened to a point to where it has become required to hold him within a cell that blocks any sound from entering as he has been listening in on any and all discussions that were being held outside of his previous cell. All future tests on his performance have been frozen due to circumstances regarding his other modifications. [b]Shark Genetics:[/b] The subject's teeth over time have become replaced with sharp jagged teeth that closely resembles a shark. His jaw-strength is powerful enough to crush bone into powder in seconds. Subject's skin has become tough and resistant to attacks with blunt weapons. Never approach subject without a stun-gun. Subject is to wear a face mask at all times. No exceptions. [b]Snake Genetics:[/b] Subject's body reacted the quickest with the introduction of the snake genetics. His pupils transformed from normal human circular pupils to a slitted snake-like pupil. Subject now takes in much more light in comparison to the average human, and can now see in the dark. However the subject has become much more sensitive to bright lights. His cell must always be kept in the dark to preserve his eyes for future testing. Cameras within his cell must have night-vision, and are required to be running at all times. Use stun grenades when dealing with the subject if necessary. [b]**WARNING**[/b] --- [b]**WARNING**[/b] --- [b]**WARNING**[/b] Subject's bodily fluids contain a potent toxin. Do not under any circumstance let the subject remove his face mask. Subject has claimed the lives of three scientists with this toxin. [/i] [b]History:[/b] Lucas in every way is not a normal child. From the way he was born, to the things he has gone through. Everything about him scream abnormality. However in the Scyntell Facility that was exactly what they wanted when they created Subject 1126 A.K.A. Lucas. Subject 1126 is a test-tube baby created for the sole purpose of testing to see if it was possible to splice together Animal DNA with Human DNA to creature a superior creature. This was funded under a military contract, and if there were any successful results then the product would have been immediately shipped to the government to be used to create a whole new future of soldiers. Despite the fact that this project was buried so far underground, figuratively, to keep secrecy. A certain mysterious facility managed to catch wind of such a project and decided they wanted to take the project for themselves. With force. [b]Extra Notes:[/b] Sample is to be kept restrained via the use of the following restraints: Shackles Straight jacket Specialized face mask retrieved from the Scyntell Facility Sedate sample with heavy-grade tranquilizer if necessary. [/center][/hider] [hider=Kimber (Cryptiic)][b]Name:[/b] [I]Kimberly Alexandra Colt. Prefers to be referred to as "Kimber" however.[/I] [b]Age:[/b] [I]17[/I] [b]Nationality:[/b] [I]American.[/I] [b]Gender:[/b][I] Female.[/I] [b]Appearance: [/b] [img=http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2013/108/1/2/eyes_by_crazymic-d6268y3.jpg] [b]Skills:[/b] [I]As her name might imply, Kimber's father was something of a gun aficionado, and made sure to instill her with the same kind of respect and passion he held for firearms from a very early age. Growing up, she competed in several shooting competitions, and spent much of her free time in the wilderness hunting with her father. As a result, she is particularly comfortable handling handguns, pistols, rifles and shotguns, though she has a slight penchant for handguns. She is also a capable bow hunter and survivalist, and has a moderate amount of fencing experience. Her father also made sure to train her in the art of self defence, and she participated in a few kickboxing tournaments in the past, though she never won any medals. She is known among some of her sparring partners for being a particularly dirty fighter outside of the ring, and seems to incorporate many elements from various other martial arts into her combat style. She might have never had any lessons in formal "fancy pissy Chinese martial arts", as she would put it, but she knows how to hit and where to make it hurt. Although not particularly skilled from an academic point of view, she is a very quick thinker, and has a remarkably fast reaction time.[/I] [B]Personality Traits:[/b] + Aggressive. + Taciturn. + Headstrong. + Confrontational. + Loyal. + Slightly Reckless. [B]Myers/Jung Personality Type:[/b] [I]ISTJ[/I] [b]History:[/b] [I]Kimber was born seventeen years ago in the state of Utah, to a twenty two year old mother and a twenty one year old father. Her parents had been high school sweethearts, and had decided to get married shortly after graduating. After a small but elegant ceremony, they left for a honeymoon in Hawaii. Nine months later, she was born. She will always remember fondly the first few years of her life. Though she was of a family of modest means, they were kind and loving people, and raised her with a strong sense of ethics and respect for human life. Her father would frequently take her camping out in the woods, and she took a natural liking to the outdoors and wilderness. When she was 8, she became a part of her school's soccer team, and took part in numerous extracurricular athletic activities. Though she wasn't particularly [/I]bad[I] at school, she never really excelled at it either, and always felt confined whenever she was put in a classroom environment. When she was 9, her father, who was a sniper in the US army, was deployed to deal with a situation in a foreign country. It was roughly at the same time that her mother began to get sick. At first it was only coughing or chest pains, although about a year later it was found that she in fact had breast cancer. Although she was a strong woman, the chemotherapy took a quick toll on her, and by the time Kimber hit the age of twelve, she passed away. It wasn't long after that before her father was honorably discharged from the army, the war and loss of his wife having left him broken in more ways than one. Without a motherly influence, Kimber grew into even more of what could most accurately be described as a "tomboy", and formed a very strong bond with her father. The two would frequently go hunting together for long periods of time, and he began training her into the art of self defence. This eventually led her to her signing up for professional marksmanship tournaments and, a few years later, kickboxing competitions. She eventually matured into a strong, independent young woman with a loud mouth and a mildly asocial behaviour. She accidentally discovered her power shortly after she turned seventeen, during a rather unpleasant encounter with a man who had had a little too much to drink. Although he had been friendly at first, he wouldn't take no for an answer, and she began to struggle with him to let her go. She eventually threw a wild haymaker at him in hope of getting him to back away, and felt a strong, concussive force come out of her palm. When the ambulance found them, he was discovered to have 13 broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, a heavy concussion and a broken arm, in addition to a dozen other less serious wounds. The doctors weren't quite sure what to make of it. According to the injuries, if they didn't know better, they would have guessed that he had been hit by an average sized truck going at moderate speed, but the confrontation had taken place in the middle of a narrow alley. The girl he had tried assaulting wasn't talking, and there were no other witnesses to what had happened. A few weeks later, men in suit showed up to take her somewhere. Her father went missing shortly afterwards.[/I] [b]Abilities:[/b] [I]Kinetic manipulation. Using her abilities, Kimber is capable of absorbing large amounts of kinetic energy into her body, then release it later on. This ability only seems to stretch a centimeter or so away from her skin, and manifests itself as a dim orange glow around the affected areas, which grows brighter according to the amount of energy being transferred. The larger the area of contact, the easier it is for her to absorb. This basically means that she is effectively immune to most forms of blunt impacts, such as punches, baseball bats or falling, but is unprotected from gunshots, arrows, knives, needles or any other form of objects with a narrow edge. Essentially, she is able to fall from large distances unharmed or shrug off being propelled into a wall by a high speed truck. Furthermore, she is able to release the previously absorbed energy in extremely short bursts, granting her vast increases in strength and momentum. For example, she could send a quick burst of kinetic energy to allow her to leap remarkably high distances or, as she found out when discovering her powers, channel much more strength into a punch than she reasonably could have been able to. There are however several considerable drawbacks to her ability. First of all, the amount of energy she can absorb at once is limited, meaning that she would not be able to survive a fall from a skyscraper or an impact with a train going at full speed. Although she might have marginally better chances of recovery than a normal person, it doesn't really factor in much at this scale. Secondly, as mentioned earlier, her power only works for extremely short bursts, including her kinetic dampening capabilities. Meaning that although she could get hit by a stopping truck and come out of it unharmed, she wouldn't stand much of a chance if said truck kept accelerating and she had her back to a wall or wasn't knocked out of the way by the hit. She is only protected from the initial impact, not continuous strain. Her capability enhancing abilities suffer from the same drawback, meaning her power wouldn't really help her win an arm wrestling match except for a few micro-seconds at the start. Lastly and most importantly, her ability requires a [/I]lot[I] of energy to use, and a large part of the energy her powers dampen gets dissipated rather than absorbed. Only roughly 40 per cents of the energy from each impacts she takes actually gets stored within her body, the remainder being harmlessly redirected elsewhere. Although she will naturally generate energy on her own if given adequate supplies of food, this basically renders her unable to use the capability enhancing part of her powers for extended periods of time, unless she is being subjected to large amounts of blunt impacts. Using any aspect of her ability also puts a lot of stress on her body, leaving her sore and exhausted after extensive use. She is unable to call upon her abilities if drugged or otherwise pacified, and since her ability only work by enhancing her pre-existing momentum, sufficiently tight restraint should prevent her from moving relatively easily.[/I] [url=http://crazymic.deviantart.com/]Image from Crazymic on Deviantart.[/url][/hider]
