A group of NPCs that will be relevant in the Pursuit of Science arc. [hider=Jake Valos][b]Name:[/b] [indent][i]Jake Vin Valos[/i][/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]17[/indent] [b]Gender:[/b] [indent]Male[/indent] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Jake is a prince in all definitions of the word. He's the son of Jason Valos, owner of several clubs and casinos all over the United States. Leaving him, his twin sister Gabriela, and their various siblings, in the hands of maids and butlers - with loads of money. Hilarity ensues. Jake is known from all over Verthaven as a party boy, and overall chilled person - and is easily the most outgoing out of his siblings. He's very polite, and calm, treats everyone with respect. True to his family, Jake is a Brazilian boy. His light-brown skin tells much about his Spanish roots. He's thin, and has the build of a swimmer. Thin limbs without body fat or muscles. He certainly has a feminine vibe to his facial features. It might just be the glasses, though. His hair is a very black color, slicked back. Jake usually is seen wearing a suit, or any other fancy article of clothing. Usually he has an overcoat over it all.[/indent] [b]Power:[/b] [i]Light Absorption & Expulsion.[/i] [indent]Jake has a form of light manipulation - he absorbs light from the environment, and expels it in several forms (He can also shoot a laser with a prism), create holograms, and turn invisible (He'll be blind, tho) .[/indent][/hider] [hider=Gabe Valos][b]Name:[/b] [indent][i]Gabriela Mya Valos[/i] (Or just [i]Gabe[/i])[/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]17[/indent] [b]Gender:[/b] [indent]Female[/indent] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Twin-Sister to Jake. Their features are pretty much the same (Brazilian heritage, brown skin, black hair, etc). Much rougher in appearance, creating such a contrast between them. Where Jake looks like a prince, Gabe looks like a biker. She stands at the average female height, and is quite curvy. Though, her skin is covered in burn scars. She looks like a bad burn victim. Though, she functions perfectly fine, despite those burns. She just keeps them covered up with her leather biker outfits. Though, there's no hiding her missing eye - hidden behind a large black eyepatch. There's three claw-point scars running down that eye - indicating that [i]some[/i] beast clawed it out. Gabe keeps her hair styled in a pony-tail. Gabe certainly is an easily angered human being. She's always seen as aggravated, and quick to fight. Though, she's nice enough in normal situations. [/indent] [b]Power:[/b] [i]Pyromancery .[/i] [indent]Gabe has an enhanced form of pyromancery, her flames are far more intense than average, and can burn people to a crisp. However, her heat far outpaces her resistance to heat.[/indent][/hider] [hider=Johnny Valos] [b]Name:[/b] [indent][i]Johnathon Valos[/i] (Or [i]Johnny[/i])[/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]20[/indent] [b]Gender:[/b] [indent]Male[/indent] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Former New Orleans Gangster, thrusted into the life of wealth and luxury. One of the older and more troublesome members of the Valos family, Johnny is a mixed boy of Italian and Brazilian descents which shows through his caramel-toned skin. He's average heighted at 5'11, and is slightly muscular. He has long limbs, and broad shoulders. His facial features are diamond shaped, sharp, and he's notable for having a large, strong, chin. He's notable for his sense of fashion that's fancy, and pimplike. He's usually wearing suits, hats, longcoats, etc. Years as a thug has made Johnny quite the fighter. Also he's a douchebag.[/indent] [b]Power:[/b] [i]Negative-Emotion Form[/i] [indent]Johnny can shift into a vibrant form empowered by the negative emotions that go on around him. In this form, Johnny is much faster, and much more durable, at the cost of being weaker against elemental/energy attacks.[/indent][/hider] [hider=Sylvia Bertoose] [b]Name:[/b] [indent][i]Sylvia Lana Bertoose[/i][/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]16[/indent] [b]Gender:[/b] [indent]Female[/indent] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Younger half-sister of Johnny (but in [i]no[/i] way related to Gabe or Jake), Sylvia was Johnny's partner, and overall morality pet when Johnny was in New Orleans. Now she's a good friend of the Valos family, and partaken in many of their adventures. Sylvia is a strange, girl that likes to screw with people whenever possible. Whether it's through speech, or her actions. Sylvia is a very short (5'2) girl, with a thin, lanky build of a swimmer, and has white Caucasian skin due to her mixed European (Including Italian) roots. She's often seen with a guitar on her back.[/indent] [b]Power:[/b] [i]Sound Manipulation.[/i] [indent]Sylvia has the ability to alter sound in several ways (Mimic, intensify, hush, and distort, as well warp, strengthen, echo, speed up, and slow down sound), along with creating explosive blasts of sound. However, she is not completely immune to sound, and can still be damaged.[/indent][/hider] Two more are on the way.
