[hider=Melissa Wright] [h3][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Name:[/b] [indent]Melissa Wright(Also goes by Mel, or if you're someone she deems a friend Mels works too.)[/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]15[/indent] [b]Gender:[/b] [indent]Female[/indent] [b]Appearance & Attire: [hider=Clothes Reference][URL=http://s172.photobucket.com/user/yasumi234/media/Anime/children/1209728935287.jpg.html][IMG]http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w8/yasumi234/Anime/children/1209728935287.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/hider][/b] [indent]Melissa is, without a doubt, small for her age. Standing at a mere 5'3 and 90 lbs she is incredibly short and extremely light, as such her frame is leans towards more of a lean athletic build with little if any muscle tone showing on her arms and legs. Her red hair is almost always seen with twin braids descending to stop a few inches below the middle of her back, though at rare occasion she wears her hair loose and free from any bindings. She tends to always carry a blank slightly annoyed expression to match her attitude, rarely smiling or showing any emotion beyond anger or sarcasm unless you're someone she's particularly interested in. She is, without a doubt, a Caucasian American. She has dark blue eyes that she thinks are too far apart when in reality they aren't. She has a full, but not fat, slightly rounded face with a small square chin. Her ears are rather small and slightly rounded. Her chest size hovers around a B-cup, though slightly smaller. Her body doesn't really have curves, at all, and compared to average her butt is below and borderline flat. This is one reason she prefers to wear loose fitting skirts. She tends to wear 'light goth' clothes which almost always include some form skirt and T-Shirt, she does not dress what one would consider 'fancy' in the least. Is light goth a thing? Is now. Along with her clothes she tends to carry around a leather satchel filled with bottles of water and a cell phone. She has no real defining 'accent' so to say, though she almost always sounds condescending and sarcastic.[/indent] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [indent] [list] [*] Great cook. [*] Acrobatic/Extremely nimble. [*] Very intelligent/Strategist. [*] Martial Arts. [/list] [/indent] [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] [indent]Melissa grew up in a small suburb in California along with her sister Maria who is, without a doubt, the exact opposite of her. She lead a pretty normal life having only a handful of friends seeing as most people bored her to no end or she simply didn't care. Her powers manifested themselves one day when she was 14 one of her 'friends' decided to pick on her, said 'friend' almost got drowned to death. Melissa wasn't really sure what happened, she'd never done it before in her life. She did think it served her fake friend right though, if anything the incident made her trust people less than she already did. She lived with said powers for a year, attempting to understand them and making decent progress. Shortly after her, her older sisters' powers awakened too. At that point governmet officials approached her parents much like others did and suggested they were sent to Academy 218 and that was precisely what happened. [/indent] [h3][u][b]Power Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Elemental/Super System[/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [indent]Melissa is more or less the embodiment of water, wherein her body takes on the characteristics of water itself. I.E Less tangible, flexible, resistant to fire. This isn't to say she has the ability to turn into pure water nor evaporate into steam and float around, or even become completely invulnerable to attack. She can freely manipulate the natural water inside of her as well as any water around her, as long as it's not inside another human being. She can shoot water in torrents meant to drown and crush as well as in small precise 'water bullets' meant to pierce. If the water doesn't absorb into the ground or whatever it hits, she can re-use it partially. She prefers to use external water sources as it puts far less strain on her body than using her bodies water supply. She is further able to create small 'shields' of water around her meant to absorb the impact or force of blows, though they are still extremely weak and don't really block much seeing as it's one of her newer abilities.[/indent] [b]Limits:[/b] [indent]The most obvious restriction would be a lack of usable water, once the water runs out she has to rely on physical attacks. The less obvious but still very present drawback being she has only had her powers under partial control for a year, she is no where near as skilled as anyone that has had similar powers for longer or really that skilled with them at all. [/indent] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [indent]As said above no water = no go. Using her bodies supply of water also strains her majorly physically and is something she dislikes doing. Due to pretty much embodying a lot of the characteristics of water, she is highly suspectible to lightning or electricity. If she is forced to use her bodies own water supply not only does it strain her physically but it can lead to severe dehydration, she also requires more liquids than the average human to remain healthy, this is one reason she is almost constantly seen drinking water. She is not all that durable, while she is slightly intangible physical blows can lead to more serious side effects than they normally would for the average human or meta.[/indent] [h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b] [INDENT] Janette Wright- Mother John Wright- Father Maria Wright-Sister[/INDENT] [b]Dynamics:[/b] [indent]Basically your character's relationship with other characters.

She always has ever since she was little. She doesn't really care about anything unless it particularly interests her, sometimes she wouldn't care if everything came burning and crashing down. [/list][/hider] [hider=Maria Wright] [h3][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Name:[/b] [indent]Maria Wright[/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]18[/indent] [b]Gender:[/b] [indent]Female[/indent] [b]Appearance & Attire:[/b] [indent]Maria stands at a height of 5'7 and weighs 120 lbs, rather than an athletic build like her sister she's simply average. She almost always has a smile on her face, rarely if ever is she mad or seen sad. Whereas her sister leans towards what could almost be considered goth, Maria tends to wear an abundance of bright colors and anything from short skirts to jeans, dresses to a plain old white T-shirt. Maria has long dark blonde hair that she usually just lets hang free, she doesn't really put effort into tending to it beyond brushing it a bit and washing it. Her chest is slightly bigger than Melissas' and her butt is average, definetely not flat like her sister. She also has a more 'feminine' shape than her sister. Her facial features however, are almost identical. Her eyes are almond shaped and a deep blue, her lips are full and slightly puffy. Her nose is rounded, but not fat, her nostrils are also fairly small. Her ears are rounded and come to a slight tip on the tops of them. [/indent] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [indent]Maria is surprisingly good at singing, some of her friends would say the best in her school.[/indent] [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] [indent]Being the older sister, Maria was expected to set an example for Melissa, protect her, and everything else expected of the older sibling. And Maria did just that to the best of her abilities, though it was obvious her attitude nor dress style rubbed off on her, much to her dismay Melissa seemed to be the polar opposite of her. Though, she still cared for her and loved her, she was her sister after all. Maria was easily one of the most popular people in her school, though she wasn't your typical arrogant holier than thou popular girl, she was nice to pretty much everyone and especially her friends. Her powers manifested in a particularly bad way shortly after Elizabeth. She'd been out with two of her friends and someone decided to try mugging them, it..was a very bad idea. Before Maria knew what happened she'd severely wounded him without really trying, infact she didn't even touch him. The man recieved a number of severe cuts all over his body where his clothes and himself had made contact with her skin. Her friends were horrified and so was she, she was covered in blood and her skin was sharp to the touch. Scared, she abandoned her friends and ran home making sure not to touch anyone else or accidentally brush her hand against herself. Her powers subsided shortly after she got home and explained everything to her parents. A while later government officials showed up and reccommend her and Melissa be sent to Academy 218, of course Melissa agreed for herself before her parents said anything. As she was now barely in control of her powers she stood to severely injure her sister, her parents, or even herself against her will. [/indent] [h3][u][b]Power Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Super System/Cerebral[/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [indent]Maria has a rather..interesting ability. She has the ability to both control and shape metal as well as taking on some aspects of metal in her body. [i]Metal Mimicry[/i] Maria has the ability to sharpen her skin to be able to slice flesh with ease, though so far she has only been able to willingly do this with her hands. When she is scared, however, her entire body becomes like that of super sharp razor wire. She also has the ability to harden her skin to absorb impacts from punches or physical blows, should she be so inclined. [i]Metal Manipulation.[/i] Maria is also able to control small amounts of metal and bend it to her will, currently the maximum amount of metal she can comfortably control without putting a immense amount of strain on her body is 15 lbs at a 20 ft range. She is able to form shields, weaponry, or 'bullets'. Though, so far they're all crude and moreso blunt than they are sharp save for the bullets.[/indent] [b]Limits:[/b] [indent]Maria is limited to actually having some amount of metal nearby in her 20 ft range to manipulate, she can't simply magic metal out of the ground or out of herself. She cannot control when she is able to activate her 'spike defense'. It does not happen on a constant basis when she is scared, she also can't stop it when she wants to. [/indent] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [indent]Maria is just as weak to the sharpening of her skin as anyone else is, she has and can easily wound herself badly if she isn't careful. Seeing as she has the characteristics of metal, she is EXTREMELY weak to electricity, taking far less than the average being to severely wound or even kill her. She is also extremely weak to the cold, if it's cold enough she can't use her abilities, even colder and she is very susceptible to being severely wounded. Her movements will become slow and her skin and bones will become very brittle. If there is no metal, she is limited to close range making her weak to those with long range abilities or those that specialize in close combat more than her.[/indent] [h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b] [INDENT]Janette Wright- Mother John Wright- Father Melissa Wright- Sister[/INDENT] [b]Dynamics:[/b] [indent]Basically your character's relationship with other characters.

She is rarely without a smile on her face and she is generally in an extremely happy, possibly too happy, mood. She is kind to everyone, even those that clearly dislike her. She has a really childish attitude most of the time, though she knows when to be serious and when not to. [/list][/hider] [hider=Serena Jones] [h3][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Name: [/b] [indent]Serena Jones[/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]14[/indent] [b]Gender: [/b] [indent]Female[/indent] [b]Appearance & Attire:[/b] [indent]At first glance you'd easily mistake Serena for a boy, she doesn't really look feminine in the least no matter which angle you look at her from. She is 5'3 and 85 lbs, she sports an athletic build that has hints of muscle tone thanks to her ability. She is without a doubt a full blooded American hailing from Florida, she also has the slight tan to prove it. She has a slight southern accent and dresses like a tomboy. Her fashion consists of caps to cover her ears up, jeans, and t-shirts with sneakers. She mostly wears blue or orange, those being her favorite colors. She is typical seen carrying around a small dark orange rucksack filled with beef jerky, slim jims, and the like. Of which she is usually seen eating. Her brown hair is cut relatively short in jagged layers, it hangs to about the bottom of her neck. On the top of her head on either side she sports short pointed cat ears, a side effect of her first attempt at shifting into her lion form, she has yet to figure out how to remove them. She usually wears her bangs over her right eye. She has dark green almond shaped eyes, her pupils are slit like a predatory cats, and a rounded face. Her nose is rounded and rather small, possibly too small, and it tilts up ever so slightly into a tip. Her lips are rather thin and her ears are rounded and fairly small. She has extremely sharp teeth, more prominently pronounced are her canines, that are built for tearing meat from bone just like a lions are. I don't reccommend putting fingers near her mouth if she is hungry.[/indent] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [indent]Street fighting, and she's pretty good at it, at least she thinks so. She is also incredibly agile and nimble, able to outlast most people in the stamina department.[/indent] [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] [indent]Ever since she could walk she was definetely a tomboy, whereas other girls her age including her sister would rather sit inside and play with dolls, she was often seen outside climbing trees or rough-housing with her two brothers or the neighbors..and winning. She was always stronger than other kids her age and even those a bit older than her, no one was sure why or how and simply passed it off as part of her 'active lifestyle'. Her powers awakened noticeably when she was 9 and suddenly grew extremely sharp feline-esque claws and nearly accidentally maimed her older brother. She wasn't really sure what happened, nor did she know how to control it, but she did find it kinda cool despite harming her brother. Nothing was done and she wasn't really blamed, it was common for accidents to happen when a metahumans powers revealed themselves. Instead she was simply told to be more careful from then on and try not to get into so many fights. Yea, because that would ever happen...If anything she used it to her advantage and eventually learned how to partially control her powers over the next five years. She found not only was she stronger than most other people her age and some older, she could hear, smell, and see better. As she practiced her powers more her eyes took on the characteristics of that of a predators, wherein the pupils were slit. Eventually, however, the use of her powers was taken notice from NEST and her parents were instructed to send her to Academy 218 before she got too out of hand. Her parents sadly agreed that it was what was best for their daughter. [/indent] [h3][u][b]Power Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Super System: Biological[/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [indent]Serena takes the whole 'heart of a lion' thing a bit too literally. She is, more or less, a humanoid lion with the ability to shift into one, her extra set of ears are proof of such. [i] Lion Shifter[/i] Exactly as it says on the tin but partially more complicated. No, she is not technically a were-lion, though in theory it's the same concept. She is, without a doubt, still mortal as well. She is able to shift her own nails into extremely sharp feline-esque claws that are able to slice up skin fairly easily, she has learned to be able to do this at will and the change takes little more than a few seconds. She is also decently strong, able to lift roughly 145 lbs easily, as well as durable. It'll take more than a simple punch or two to knock her out or put her out of the fight. That said, knives and bullets effect her just as much as anyone else. Further describing her bite, she can bit down on anything she can fit her mouth around at 650 psi just like a lion. Seriously, don't put your fingers near her mouth when she is hungry. Her senses are heightened far beyond that of a normal human, allowing her to see almost perfectly in the dark, have a heightened sense of smell and hearing, as well as having a heightened spatial and kinetic sense. She is also decently fast, outpacing most humans, meta's that specialize in speed however are much faster. Her main ability, that she chooses to use as least often as possible, is the ability to turn into a full grown lion. This only further enhances her fighting ability, it grants no added benefits beyond being as strong and as fast as a lion. [/indent] [b]Limits:[/b] [indent]This is more of a self imposed drawback than anything, Serena makes an effort to fully transform as least as possible due to the sheer amount of pain felt afterwards when she reverts to human form. Not to mention having to buy new clothes is annoying. Shifting is not instantaneous, it takes roughly 20 seconds to shift into a lion and one minute to shift back into a human.[/indent] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [indent]Despite being durable, Serena is not on par with Superman by far. While, she will take more blows than the average kid her age and some average people, she is still a kid with a small frame. She will go down fairly easily, and go down hard. She is extremely vulnerable for several minutes after shifting back into human form from the sheer amount of pain felt from her bones breaking and reforming themselves back to her human frame. She is, of course, limited to close quarters combat unless of course she manages to get her grubby little paws on a ranged weapon. In that case, shit gets real...most likely for her as she has never fired a gun.

She is rude, sarcastic, and condescending. She is always looking for a fight and will gladly challenge anyone despite their age, she enjoys it. If you're lucky to get on her good side, you'll find she can actually be nice when she wants to, even though she doesn't show it initially at first. She is also extremely rebellious and has a hard time following orders or rules, she feels they only apply to the 'normal' people. [/list][/hider]
