He has long, almost messy blond hair that reaches down just past his shoulders, and sideburns that match the height of his earlobe. His eyes are a piercing blue, and stick out amongst his seemingly pale skin. He has a strong jaw, and noticeable cheekbones. He is almost never seen without wide brimmed, slouch hat.

His skin is bronzed, causing him to stick out like a sore thumb near his 'brother'. His hair is black and stands tall on his head, being held up by a mixture of gel and his sun visor. He has round, wide features and brown eyes. [/hider] Ability: [hider=Sid] Sid has the power of creating and controlling thorned vines. These vines can act as a whip, lasso, grappling hook and just about anything that Sid can think of making them into. While the vines are strong enough to lift and throw a grown man, they are also very easy to cut, and a well placed sword swipe will snap them in half. Along with this, it's main weakness is, Sid's own stupidity at times. He often attempts to grab a person with them only to be thrown around like a ragdoll as a result of the person he grabbed being stronger than he was. [/hider] [hider=Nebez] Nebez has the power of life manipulation. Don't worry, it's not nearly as overpowered as it sounds. Essentially, Nebez is able to turn inorganic objects such as a deodorant can or a water bottle into a small animal like a beetle or a frog, and then control this animal's movements and actions. If someone were to attack the animal, they would receive the amount of pain they would have inflicted upon the animal. Along with this, Nebez is able to heal small wounds such as a broken leg or a large gash, but not much else. His power has not fully developed yet and his healing is growing stronger as he practices it. [/hider] Biography: The Townsend brothers story starts out with the older brother, Sydney Townsend. Sydney was born in a rural part of Australia to a farmer father and a mother who died during childbirth. The result of her death enraged, Sydney's father, who blamed Sydney for his wife's death. As a result of this, he was extremely abusive both physically and vocally towards, Sid, who grew up a nervous wreck because of this treatment. His power manifested when he was about 12, which was when he got his revenge on his dear old dad. He discovered his powers after losing a kite in a tree, without knowing it, Sid used his vines to retrieve the kite from the tree. He subsequently trained and honed his power into a defensive and offensive weapon to use against his father. In a rather Tarantino-esque situation, Sid dragged his father out by his neck and essentially hanged him on a tall tree. He ran away from home after that, having changed from an anxious young boy into a brave man in only a night. He travelled the world, hitching rides on trucks and stowing away on boats whilst finding work in each town he ended up in and surviving through thievery if he couldn't find any work. He did this until he turned 16, when he had found his way into the middle east. He was hired by a farmer to hunt predators for him, this was when, Sid had found his true calling. He was a crack shot, and gained a reputation for this through the various times that he used his skill to impress women in each town he went to. This skill lead him to, Turkey, specifically a small village by the name of Akin. The town was mainly used for farming, but had a few shops here and there. This was where he met, Nebez. Nebez was the son of an abusive farmer far worse than Sid's father. Sid, knowing he had to do what he thought was right, shot the farmer in the gut and took the 6 year old, Nebez on his journey throughout the world. The two travelled for years on end, using Sid's street smarts and, Nebez' book smarts to form a deadly duo that resulted in a lot more money than either of the two had ever seen. Along with the increase in profit, the two actually became brothers, if not by blood then by psyche. Unfortunately things changed drastically when they made their way to the U.S. Neither of the two had any idea about the strict rules and regulations on super humans within the U.S, and Sid had no idea that Nebez even had a power. As a result, both had to keep quiet about their powers. Which was easier said than done what with, Sid's arrogance. Eventually the jig was up though, and Sid was forced to use his power to attempt to subdue a much stronger opponent than he had anticipated. The vines didn't work, and Nebez was forced to transform a nearby rock into a frog and then throw it at the opponent, inflicting the damage of the collision onto the opponent. The two escaped, but were quickly found by police after security footage of the two was released. Sid and Nebez have been plotting in secret about how to escape the Center ever since they were imprisoned there. So far, none of their plans have worked. Personality: Sid and Nebez have two very different personalities. Sid is rather outgoing and arrogant, while Nebez is the exact opposite, being shy and never fully realizing the extent of his abilities. While arrogant, Sid isn't stupid. He knows when he's going to lose a fight and won't hesitate to turn tail and run if he thinks he has a chance of getting his shit kicked in. Nebez is just as cowardly, preferring to avoid any sort of conflict if possible. The brothers are both extremely loyal to each other, and Sid will often keep Nebez out of any danger that he can and could be considered rather overprotective of his younger brother. Other: Sid refuses to join any faction, believing that being in one would just bring more trouble than it would repent. [/center] [/hider]
