[hider=Rori Aherne] [h3][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Name:[/b] [indent]Roisin Anna Aherne 'Rori' 'Robin' [/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]17 [/indent] [b]Gender:[/b] [indent]Agender (they/them pronouns)[/indent] [b]Appearance & Attire:[/b] [indent]Rori is pretty short, standing at around 5'1" or possibly 5'2". They aren't sure what they're exact height is. They are slightly lighter than average due to being quite skinny with a general lack of muscles. Rori certainly isn't athletic or strong looking, in fact they are really quite scrawny in that respect. Much to they're announced Rori is reasonably well sized at her chest, being around a C or D cup. Most people born female would be happy with this but it hardly helps with Rori's gender dysphoria. Most of the time Rori will be found wearing a binder to make her chest look a lot flatter. So in most circumstances Rori has a more gender neutral body and the lack of other curves helps this. To help in having a more gender neutral appearance Rori has their hair cut short. It is in a somewhat messy style, not so short that strands don't fall across their face. Occasionally they will style it in some way but often it is just left in a mess as if they had just woken up. While naturally Rori's hair is a dark red-ginger in colour, a rather nice colour, they tend to have it dyed. This is due to them being somewhat embarrassed about the hair colour - they were teased about it at a younger age. At the moment it is dyed a dark blue. Their skin tone is fair and freckled, with a myriad of freckles covering their face. They have light brown-yellow eyes, slightly more yellow than they are brown. These are quite large and probably the most predominant facial feature. Their face is slightly round in its shape giving them quite a cute appearance and making them look a bit younger than you would expect. Cute is probably a good term to use to describe Rori, and the smile that is permanently across their lips makes them look really quite friendly. On top of their more normal humanoid features Rori has a few that are not so humanoid. One unnatural thing about Rori is their eyes, though this isn't always obvious from a distance. They are more like a bird's than a humans and as a result does not blink with their eyelids but rather by a third hidden eyelid, the nictitating membrane. This isn't often noticeable however. Along with this various parts of their body are covered in a soft down-like feathers. These are a light reddish-brown in colour, similar to that of their natural hair. Most of the other bird features they have aren't easily visible. Clothing wise Rori tends to wear outfits that are more gender neutral. You won't find them in a dress or a skirt any time soon. They most often wear baggy and concealing shirts, with a binder underneath, and more loose jeans or trouser(pants) and trainers. They are almost always found wearing the same dark green hoody. They predominantly dress in green, with some darker blues to match their hair along with black and white. [/indent] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [indent][i]Socialising:[/i] Rori is incredibly friendly and cheerful, if a bit shy, meaning they excel in social situations and find it easy to make friends. In general they are very easy to get along with. [i]Optimistic:[/i] Though not much of a skill, Rori can make the most out of a bad situation and isn't one to let what is happening get the best of them. This means they can help cheers others up and will keep calm if things take a turn for the worse. [i]Creative:[/i] Rori is good at both writing and drawing/painting and enjoys doing both. They often get inspiration for stories for the most random things. They always carry a notebook or sketchpad around with them and often will just start writing or sketching. [i]Musical:[/i] To add to their creativity Rori is quite musical. They play a few instruments, including the piano, clarinet, violin and Irish tin whistle. They also enjoy listening to music and have a good sense of rhythm, always open to pick up more instruments. [/indent] [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] [indent]Rori was born to a relatively large family. They were the fourth child born into the family, with an older brother and two older sisters. Their younger brother was born just a year after they were. Their parents were strict Christians and brought up all of their children to be religious as well. This wasn't something that Rori ever liked but they had to go along with it. Along with this their parents were incredibly anti-metahuman. Even though Rori had little in common with their siblings they always tried to get along with them and most often succeeded. They got on best with their younger brother, Conor, though he was rather annoying. There was the smallest age gap between the two of them which helped. However the person Rori did got on very well with was their cousin, Max. The two families grew up near each other and Rori would spend a lot of time with their cousin. The two got on, though Max was a much less friendly and more troublesome individual than Rori. However when Rori was eight there was a fall out between the two families. They were forbidden from seeing Max again and eventually Max and her family moved away to another city. Rori lived a relatively normal life until they were twelve. It was at this point that they began to become aware enough to question they had been assigned at birth. Rori certainly didn't feel like a girl, felt uncomfortable within their own body and disliked being lumped in with either of the binary genders. They eventually came to the conclusion that they were neither. It took a lot of courage but they told their family. The result wasn't good. The only reaction they got was negative and then given the strict warning to never talk about it 'or else.' This was one of the more unhappy periods of Rori's life as they were forced to keep going under the name Roisin and as a girl. It was shortly after this that her powers began to manifest. The change was subtle at first. Their eyesight changed - getting better. Then they stopped blinking and began to form light feathers across her body. They did their best to hide this even though they didn't know what was going on. Rori panicked a lot more when they first changed shape into a bird. Having no idea what was going on and panicking slightly they continued to try and hide it. They were around thirteen when their parents walked in on them mid-change. It was safe to say Rori became more of a disappointment than they had been before. The fear on their parents faces was clear. For the next few days their parents said nothing. But Rori noticed the difference, and heard the private phone calls they made. Their parent's hatred for metahumans seemed to extend even to their child. Things took a turn for the worse when Rori overheard a conversation her father had on the phone that suggested they would send Rori away to have their powers removed and, if that wasn't possible (which is clearly wasn't), to have them killed. Feeling even more scared than before Rori didn't have much choice but to pack a bag and run away from home. While this wasn't exactly the nicest experience they spent minimal time on the streets before coming into contact once again with Max, the cousin they had once been close to. It was something of a chance encounter but led to Max taking in Rori (though Max herself was hardly an adult at the time).They were somewhat shocked to find out about their involvement in gang crime. While Sal tried to push them into it, Max was always against it. However inevitable Rori began to help somewhat though they were never particularly happy about it. However after a close call with NEST agents were both Sal and Max were almost caught the three have moved again, leaving Sal and Max's uncle to make a life in New Rivière City. They haven't been there long and are only beginning to find their footing.[/indent] [h3][u][b]Power Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Super-System (Bestial) [/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [i]Permanent Features[/i] [indent]Rori has a few birdlike features that remain even when they are in a humanoid form. Their eyes are more birdlike than other humans. This gives them a much better vision than normal humans meaning she can see longer distances and colours in the ultraviolet spectrum just as birds do. However with this they struggle to move their eyes and often has to move their head around to look in other directions. Along with this they have light down-like feather covering a lot of their body - including along visible parts of their body like their arms and neck. This acts as an extra layer of clothes in terms of keeping them warm. They're bones are also lighter and stronger than most, like a birds, as if to allow for them to fly. However they have no way to fly as a human, so these just make her lighter than she looks. It allows her to jump higher than the normal person but she wasn't quite blessed with wings as a human.[/indent] [i]Transformation[/i] [indent]Rori can transform fully into a few forms of birds. As a bird they have all of the features of a bird and it is difficult to tell the difference from her and a bird. However she retains her intelligence and mind, so often if a bird is acting as a bird should not it is probably Rori. This comes with all the features of whatever bird she turns into. She tends to turn into the average bird for that type in terms of size, strength and speed.[/indent] [b]Limits:[/b] [indent]Difficulty rolling their eyes due to them being birdlike and as a result has to move their head more. their eyesight is better than normal humans but not quite as good as the best birds eyesight. Rori is limited in the types of birds she can turn into. At the moment she can turn into a thrush (she tends to go for a robin), a kestrel, a hawk, a hummingbird, a duck and an owl. She can turn into any species from these sections. Along with this she can only make the change a few times per day unless she pushes herself.[/indent] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [indent]If they look into the far distance for too long they can strain their eyes meaning that their vision will go blurry and it is difficult for them to see anything. Rori gets incredibly exhausted and ravenous after changing from their bird form back to their human form. This can easily be solved by eating a lot of food and a long nap. However if they don't get this they are prone to collapse without warning or faint from the fatigue. Along with this the longer they stay in their bird form the more they takes on the characteristics of the bird. It is likely that if they remained as a bird for a prolonged period of time they will probably forget who they are and how to turn back into a human. This would mean Rori would be permanently stuck in the form of a bird. Ruri also sometimes get stuck mid-change which is incredibly painful and traumatic. It can take them hours to get out of this state. Along with this they are often left in pain after the change and feel like they have limbs that they no longer have (such as wings).[/indent] [h3][u][b]Relationships[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Family:[/b] [INDENT]Breandan Aherne - Father Elizabeth Aherne - Mother Aiden Aherne - Older Brother Sairose Aherne, Eva Aherne - Older Sisters Conor Aherne - Younger Brother Felipe Diaz - Uncle (Deceased, Regeneration) Naomi Diaz - Aunt (Deceased) Salvador Diaz - Cousin (Regeneration) Maxine Diaz - Cousin (Power Stealing)[/INDENT] [b]Dynamics:[/b] [indent] [b] Maxine Diaz [/b] | [b] Goodish [/b] | [b] Friend/Cousin [/b] | "We get along well enough, I guess" | [b] Salvador Diaz [/b] | [b] Neutral [/b] | [b] Cousin [/b] | "I tend to just keep out of his way and it's all fine" |[/indent] [h3][u][b]Other[/b][/u][/h3] [list][*]Rori absolutely hates the name Roisin, and the only time they really get annoyed is when someone calls them by that name (or refers to them as a girl or boy) [*]The nickname Robin was one given to them by their cousin, Max, when they were younger due to Rori having red hair like a Robin's chest and being quite flighty/timid as a child [*]Personality wise Rori is very friendly, upbeat, cheerful and optimistic.

There are certainly rare occasions where she does not look as if she is about to kill all those around but those are, well, few and far between. Max looks reasonably strong for her height. Her raw strength is something that she works on through training in combat and doing a lot of exercise. She is certainly physically fit and this is something that is often obvious when people she her. While she is certainly not overweight, most of her weight coming from the muscles she has, she couldn't be described as skinny. She has an unfortunate lack of curves, something that she herself doesn't care about. Her chest isn't quite flat but in certain clothing it's difficult to tell if anything is there. Max certainly doesn't have anything near the ideal feminine body, often looking somewhat more masculine. She pulls it off, however, and has no issue with the lack of curves. She isn't look for people to be attracted to her anyway. Max's hair is a dark brown in colour. The left hand side is practically shaved, styled as an undercut. The rest is swept over to the right and often covers her eyes. At the front this falls to her chin and at the back it goes just past the nape of her neck. Sometimes she'll have her hair slightly dyed. The ends of it are currently a reddish colour from the last time she dyed it but the rest is it's natural colour. Her hair frames her incredibly dark brown, almost black eyes. Her eyes are turned up slightly and somewhat narrow. Her face is slightly oval shaped with surprisingly soft lines. Her skin tone is an olive tanned tone thanks to her Latin American/Hispanic heritage. She has thick, dark eyebrows and medium sized lips. All of this together means that her facial features look a lot more feminine than her body does. However she only rarely wears makeup, and in when she does it tends to be very dark. She has quite a few visible scars on both her face and arms, all from fights. There are quite a few that are also hidden by any clothes she wears. [hider=Hairstyle] Something like this: http://img14.deviantart.net/30d2/i/2011/270/d/7/rainbow_hair_by_dezidesire-d4b5h6k.jpg [/hider] Max tends to wear clothes that are a mix of blacks and reds, with the occasional other dark colour or white thrown in there. She tends to go for some combination of ripped jeans, tank tops (or any top really) along with a leather jacket and boots. [/indent] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [indent][i]Fighting:[/i] Max is good at hand to hand combat and street fighting. She got most of her training from criminals and as a result fights dirty. She knows how to use weapons like a knife in combat if needed. [i]Deception:[/i] Max is a pretty good liar, good to spinning a tale and getting people to believe her. This helps with all sorts of things. It can help make people believe she's harmless and often makes it all the easier to steal from them, or something similar. [i]Gymnastics:[/i] Though she doesn't necessarily look it Max is pretty flexible due to doing gymnastics at a young age, and continuing it for a bit in her early teens. She kept up this flexibility and can do all sorts of fancy things such as handstands and forward flips. It's not a skill she uses much anymore, though. [i]Gardening:[/i] Max rarely admits it but she has something of a talent for growing plants and flowers. She enjoys it as well but tends to keep it secret because it seems like it isn't a tough enough hobby for someone like her to have. Even so she tends to have one or two plants wherever she lives, though she goes for more dangerous varieties.[/indent] [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] [indent]Max's parent's relationship was built off of something akin to a love story. Her father was a metahuman part of a small gang and her mother a devout Christian. She put her love for him over her religious views, and he gave up the gang life to raise a family. As a result both were somewhat ostracised from their sides of the family. Even so Max grew up in a loving household. She was surprisingly close to her four year older brother, Sal, and the two of them spent most of their time play fighting (in a friendly way). Along with this Max spent a lot of time with her cousin, Rori (Roisin at the time), though she could tell that things were tense between her mother and her aunt. Max always knew of the existence of metahumans due to her father and brother being registered as them. Her brother was one of the few born a metahuman with inherited powers, with the super-system power of regeneration. Max was always slightly jealous because she felt that she was normal without a power. At the age of ten Max was forced to up and move, leaving behind her cousin that she had grown close to. She has never been sure of the exact reason but thinks it was something to do with the fact her brother and father were metahumans. They moved to Black Fall and lived here relatively happily until Max was twelve, and her brother sixteen. The family got in a tragic car accident that resulted in the death of both Max's father and mother. Salvador survived due to his regeneration and Max seemed to survive for the same reason. It was assumed that their father suffered injuries he couldn't recover from. The two of them were sent to live with their uncle on their father's side, who left them mostly to their own devices having never wanted kids. Max and Sal both fell into a bad crowd at this stage, though Max was mostly tagging along with her older 'cool' brother at this point. After beginning a life of crime they joined a minor metahuman gang. It was here that Max discovered the truth about her powers. She didn't have regeneration, rather she copied another's power. This was why her father had died. The power she had made her a valuable member of the gang. It was here that she learned to fight and steal. By the age of fourteen she was regularly involved in street fights, doing drugs and participating in all sorts of gang activities. She miraculously managed to stay out of NEST's radar, being completely unregistered. However her, and a few others around her age, were caught doing minor crimes and noted down by the police force due to this. At the age of fifteen Max had a chance encounter with her younger cousin, Rori, which ended with her taking them into her care (without permission of her uncle). This didn't stop her and Sal's involvement in crime. Rori ended up getting involved as well, something Max wasn't particularly happy about. But there was nothing she could do to stop it. However after a close call with NEST agents were both Sal and Max were almost caught the three have moved again, leaving Sal and Max's uncle to make a life in New Rivière City. They haven't been there long and are only beginning to find their footing. [/indent] [h3][u][b]Power Information[/b][/u][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Power [/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [indent][i]Power Replication[/i] [indent]Max has the ability to replicate the powers of others. This replication is not specific to one class, however there are some she struggles to replicate more than others. She seems to find the super-system class the easiest to replicate. She can replicate up to four powers it seems, however they each must be of a different class. So for example she could not replicate two different super-system powers. In terms of choosing whether she can replicate a power, this varies. She has gotten to the stage of control where she can pick and choose whether she replicates a power if it is of the super-system class. However not for the other classes. Any new powers she gets will replace the one in the 'slot' of its class of power, essentially replacing that one. If she does not use a power for a long time she will lose it, in a way. This means she has to use each in a reasonably regular basis. On top of this she can only use one power at a time. Which power she can use seems to be reset dependant on her sleep - she needs to sleep a certain amount of time to change what power she is using. However there are some limits to this - she must have used the power that she is currently locked into to then change it. This means if she does not know how to use a power she will be stuck with it until she can work out how to do so.[/indent] Current Powers Replicated: [list][*][i]Regeneration: [/i](Super-system Class) From her father Max has the ability to regenerate. This allows her to heal wounds that she sustains at a reasonable rate, and she can repair bones and muscle damage at a faster rate than most others. This allows her to survive things that other's wouldn't necessarily be able to. [*][i]Telekinesis:[/i] (Cerebral Class) Replicated from a member of the gang she was part of before being nabbed by NEST, this is the one that Max tends to stick in since she's reasonably comfortable with it. However it isn't that powerful. She can move one object of a medium wait (say, a chair) and two that are light (for example knives). This takes a decent amount of concentration it is obvious she is the one moving them. She can only pull and push the objects rather than changing their form, such as bending them. However she is working on getting better at this and will probably learn more the more she uses it. [/list][/indent] [b]Limits:[/b] [indent] She has to have skin to skin contact to replicate someone's power. The longer she holds this contact the more powerful a version of the power she replicates. She doesn't necessarily know what power someone has or how to use it meaning she can end up with a power completely useless to her. She doesn't have a very long time to learn how to use it either. She can only have up to four powers, each of a different class. These are replaced by class so she only ever has a power of one class. She cannot always choose whether she replicates someone's powers or not. Along with this she can only use one at the time, and this changes after she has slept for eight hours AND used the current power she is locked into. However if she replicates a new power she switches to using the one rather the previous one. She is also limited by the power. Regeneration wise there are only so many wounds that she can heal, and often she can only fully regenerate the smaller ones. For telekinesis she is limited to ten feet away from her, and objects of a medium weight. She needs to concentrate to do more than one small object and breaks in her concentration cause her to lose control. [/indent] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [indent]The fact that she has to have skin to skin contact can be a weakness. This leaves her vulnerable as she weakens her targets power and means she has to get close to them in the first place which is not always a viable option. This can leave her in all sorts bad situations. She can only change power after using the one she currently has. This means if she does not know how to use a power she is stuck with it until she can figure it out. Using powers of others is quite taxing on her body. While the powers themselves need no fuel they use up a lot of the essential nutrients she has within her body. Using the powers will cause Max to begin to both dehydrate and starve, meaning she must eat and drink a lot more than normal while using them. If she does not eat or drink she will grow weaker, her reactions slower. This will eventually push her to death by starvation/dehydration if she keeps using her power. Along with this Max gains the weakness of whatever power she steals. Regeneration Weaknesses: Incredibly painful to do, does not regain any lost blood ect. She cannot regenerate massive wounds meaning that any life threatening wounds would kill her. While the wound is healed her body still suffered the damage, leaving her weaker after regenerating. Telekinesis weaknesses: Must concentrate to be able to keep using the power. If she cannot see the object she is moving she cannot move it thus it is easy to break the line of site. Tiring mentally on her and doing it for too long will cause blinding headaches and migraines, and often put her in a bad mood and make her tired.

While part of this could be put down to the fact he is male it is quite a bit of height different. Sal is certainly not skinny for his height, but instead filled out with clearly defined muscles. While certainly not a fitness nut he make sure to keep himself in good shape and has worked on his strength to help with fighting. His height manages to spread out the muscles meaning that he doesn't look overly muscular and strong. His body is quite attractive to those that get a chance to look at it. Sal's hair is a dark brown, coming close to black. It's darker than his sister's but not by much. It is quite short, not short enough that it has been completely shaved off but not long enough to be any kind of bother. His eyes are narrow and ever so slightly turned, practically black in colour. His skin is a relatively dark tone of olive tan. This is darker than his sister's. His face is sharp and angular but not all that bad looking due to it. It is slightly square in shape, all sharp angles and lines. Clothing wise Sal will often wear what is practical. In terms of practicality he will be found wearing a simple t-shirt along with cargo pants and some kind of leather jacket. If he is going more for looks he'll be found wearing jeans and the same leather jacket. In a way his clothing style is quite similar to that of his twin. One occasions where it is require he will wear something smarter but quite often he sticks to what is practical for what he does. [/indent] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [indent][i]Fighting:[/i] Salvador is trained in hand to hand combat. Most of this he learned from being in gangs and as a result knows how to fight dirty, and with knives. [i]Shooting[/i]:Sal's main skill in shooting is with pistols or similar at a more close range. He learned this from the gangs and is quite accurate. He also knows how to care for guns, and can use more long ranged ones such as a rifle but just isn't quite as good at that. [i]Cooking[/i]: Sal is a surprisingly talented cook. He can make a tasty meal out of pretty terrible ingredients and knows quite a few recipes off the top of his head. While he is no classy chef he can cook tasty enough meals in comparison to your average person. [i]Leadership[/i]: With a commanding air and the ability to keep cool under pressure, Sal is quite a skilled leader. He knows how to bring the best out of people and command them in a tough situation. He can keep them under control without getting incredibly angry at those who are insolent. However, with this leadership skill comes a certain amount of cockiness. [i]Strategy[/i]: Sal is quite good at coming up with strategies, whether that is for combat or for breaking into somewhere well protected. He can plan well and will come up with various backup plans quickly. This can help in tough situations.[/indent] [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] [indent]Born to a metahuman and a normal human, Sal grew up in a surprisingly cheerful household. From a young age it was obvious that he had inherited his powers from his father as small cuts healed faster than they should and never seemed to bother him. At four Sal got a younger sister, Max. He was overprotective at first and this grew into a friendly sibling rivalry. They spent most of their time play fighting (of course he always won). Though they were in contact with their cousins on their mum's side Salvador was never close to any. As a metahuman he felt he should avoid being around a family that was anti-metahuman. Sal was fourteen when he accidentally caused his family to have to up and move. It was an accident, of course. He had been playing with his cousins, one of the few times he did so, and a slight slip from a tree caused a broken leg. Unfortunately for him he had no control over his regeneration and was able to walk long before most humans would. With his cousin's being more than somewhat anti-meta the family made the decision to move to Blackfall just in case. Their time in Blackfall wasn't much different for Sal, until when he was sixteen and got involved in a car accident. His regeneration save him and his sister luckily survived. It didn't take him too long to have suspicions about the reason for his sister's survival though he kept it to himself longer than he should of. The two were sent off to live with their uncle, who had never wanted kids and let them look after themselves. Sal was the first of the two to get involved in crime. He let Max tag along as she proved herself useful enough and he couldn't get her to stay at home even if he tried. He joined a minor gang and it was here the Max discovered for herself what her power was. Sal easily fit into the gang and quickly moved up the ranks with ease. His natural leadership skills helped him here. He managed to stay out of NESTs radar by mostly running things behind the scenes are rarely going into do the proper dirty work after he reached a certain rank. At nineteen, now having left his uncle and living with just his sister, Sal reluctantly allowed their cousin Rori to live with them. It wasn't a surprise for him that they were a metahuman (they had always seemed odd). He tried to get them to join in gang activities, after all their powers would be useful. However Max resisted this and tried to stop Sal from allowing it. Sal won in the end, though, as he always did. Recently, however, a close call with NEST agents have made both Salvador and Max known to NEST as possible criminal metahumans. Deciding not to risk getting caught the two of them, and Rori, have made the move to New Riviére city. Sal managed to get them a small apartment in the outer ring. Since moving they've got by with running small jobs but Sal is trying to find something more, whether legal or illegal.[/indent] [h3][u][b]Power Information[/b][/u][/h3] [INDENT][b]Power Class:[/b] Super-System (Biological) [/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [indent]Sal's power is that of regeneration. [i]External Wounds and Blood loss[/i]: [indent]Sal can heal serious external wounds at a speed that is faster than the normal person. He can heal deep cuts (that haven't reached any organs), serious burns and broken / fractured bones. The time it takes varies by severity. Minor wounds take a matter of minutes to heal, whereas a wound that would perhaps be fatal could take days. Due to his regeneration, however, there are wounds he can survive that many others could not. He also regenerates blood cells meaning that blood loss is less of a worry for him. For example most people would need a blood transfusion if they lost roughly 30% or more of the total blood volume in their body. For Salvador this percentage would be closer to 40% or so. Any torn muscle, ect, can also be regenerated.[/indent] [i]Lost Limbs[/i]: [indent]Salvador can, to a certain extent, regenerate lost limbs. The limb is grown to be almost exactly the same as the old one. In terms of re-growing limbs this goes for arms and legs (and any parts upon them). This does NOT include his head. Time wise this, again, depends on what needs to be re-grown. A finger or toe would take half a day to a day. His entire arm would take at least one week, probably more. His entire leg would take even longer. [/indent] [i]Internal Wounds / Damage to Organs[/i] [indent]Sal cannot regenerate / repair internal wounds and damage to organs as well as external wounds. If the damage is non-fatal then he would be able to regenerate it but at a slower rate than he would an external wound. If the damage is minor than it can easily be regenerate. However if, say, he was stabbed through the heart he would not be able to regenerate it. In terms of his brain he can survive / regenerate more serious damage than most, but it is the part of his body that he has most difficulty regenerating. [/indent] [i]Diseases, Toxins, Drugs[/i] [indent]Sal is less susceptible to illness that most others. This is due to his regeneration resulting in a strong immune system and just regenerating while ill means he rarely catches diseases. He would never come down with, say, a cold or the flu. Something more serious is possible. He is also less harmed by poison and tends to be unaffected by less strong toxins (though there are still some that he cannot recover from). The same goes for drugs. [/indent] [/indent] [b]Limits:[/b] [indent]Salvador is limited in terms of the speed he can regenerate at. The more serious the wound the longer it takes, from a few seconds to heal a cut to hours / days for broken bones to weeks / months to regenerate a lost limb. Along with this he is limited in how much he can regenerate. He can heal multiple small wounds at the same time but can only heal one serious one at a time (serious being anything that could be dangerous in the long run). If he loses more than one limb he can only regenerate one at a time. There are things he cannot regenerate. If a serious enough wound damages his internal organs and would be fatal he will likely die from it, as he won't heal the internal rupturing fast enough. He can't heal that much brain damage. If his brain is damaged enough he may be able to heal it to the point of still being alive, but the damage would be irreversible and he wouldn't be the same person. His head is in general the weak spot and if it was, say, cut off he wouldn't survive it. [/indent] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [indent]Salvador still feels all the pain of the wounds, and this has the effect a wound would on any. He may be able to regenerate but his pain threshold / tolerance is no higher than any other person. When in the process of regenerating, especially if it is something serious, Sal is physically weakened. He will be able to function but is likely to struggle with even walking until he has finished the regeneration process. This puts him in a weak position. Of course this varies by wound. A cut will not cause this, but a broken bone may (even in the arm). This can be quite easily taken advantage of. Sal is not invulnerable. He will die to serious head injuries or if he loses his head. He will die to major organ damage. He will also die to multiple fatal wounds, as he can only heal so many at once and one of them will kill him. If he would be instantly killed by something the chances are he will die (he does need some time to regenerate). So there are quite a few ways to kill him, just less than there are to kill the ordinary person.

Her strength certainly isn't as great as some others within NEST, but that has never been her strength. Still she is fit enough after training and continuing to keep up this training. After all she does need to be able to face meta-humans. Arianne has dark blonde hair, practically a dirty / sandy blond. While she keeps it relatively long, allowing it to fall past her shoulders, it is almost always tied up in a bun or a braid. Something to keep it out of the way. Her eyes are a light, pale blue. There is nothing spectacular about it. Her eyelashes and eyebrows are light to the point of not always being visible (she occasionally will remedy this with makeup, but often it isn't practical to do so). Her skin is pale, of the slightly reddish kind, with very few freckles. However she does have visible scars here and there. Very few are notable and merely things she has gotten in the line of duty. Her face is slender and somewhat long, like most of her is. It is softly curved with very few sharp angles. Clothing wise she will be found most commonly in jeans and nice enough tops, tending to wear a mixture of blues, whites and purples. She does like wearing nice looking clothes, but of course has to make sacrifices when on the job. [/indent] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [indent][i]Technology[/i] [i]Intelligence[/i] [i]Woodwork[/i] [i]Writing[/i] [/indent] [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] [indent]Arianne was born to a middle class, living what was mostly a normal life as a child. She had one younger sister who she was close to and slightly protective of. None of her parents were meta-humans and as a result it was never something she gave any thought to. Even as a child, however, Arianne was emotionally detached from the world. She didn't have very many friends at school and this wasn't helped by the fact that she was quite a bit smarter than others that were her age. She found it difficult to communicate with others and the only person she really got on with was her younger sister. She only got smarter as she grew up, gaining a certain affinity for things technological. Arianne was nearing the end of school with an offer from one of the top colleges, when things changed for the worse. She had felt like she was being watched for a while but it wasn't till the night before her 18th birthday that she found out who it was. Some kind of metahuman, with a cerebral power type, had taken a fancy to her and the rest of her family. The metahuman broke in to their house and took all four members of the house hostage. She prefers not to talk about what happened the weeks before someone worked out something was up with the Dubois family and called the authorities. With the discovery it was a metahuman it was NEST who was called and they managed to capture the man. The entire was left scarred. What only made the situation worse for Arianne was the clear effect it had had on her younger sister. As she lay in hospital, recovering from injuries inflicted upon her, she willed her sister not to remember. The next morning her sister showed signs of memory loss. She claimed the events were 'hazy' and that she wasn't sure what had happened. Arianne tried this on her parents and they too forgot most of what had happened. Of course with NEST agents looking in to the incident they noticed the sudden memory loss of all the Dubois family excluding Arianne. As they went to register her as a meta-human she was given a choice between continuing her life as normal and joining NEST. She chose the latter. Though the physical training was difficult for her (she hadn't had any military or police training, after all) Arianne easily passed all intelligence based tests. It took her longer than it should have to get through training but eventually she did. After moving around a bit Arianne was settled in a position in New Rivière city. She has been there a few months and mostly does more intelligence and technological based work for NEST. [/indent] [h3][u][b]Power Information[/b][/u][/h3] [INDENT][b]Power Class:[/b] Cerebral[/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [indent]Arianne's power is memory manipulation. [i]Memory Reading:[/i] [indent]With her memory manipulation comes the ability to also read other people's memories. Recent memories are easier to read. The further back they are the more difficult they are to read, often impossible. Along with this anyone with some kind of mental block / mind shield can prevent her reading their memories.[/indent] [i]Memory Erasure:[/i] [indent]The first part of her power that Arianne discovered and mastered is memory erasure. This erases a specific memory that a person holds. While she learned this first it is, in fact, the most difficult to do. To do this she must know some kind of details memory. So she cannot just delete any random memory. When a memory is deleted by Arianne it is as if the target is suffering from amnesia. They do not remember what happened as their memory appears to be 'hazy' or 'foggy.' People with especially strong minds can get over this. [/indent] [i]Memory Creation:[/i] [indent]This part of memory manipulation allows Arianne to create a memory and implant this into someone's mind. The more complex the memory the more difficult it is to put into the persons mind. In general Arianne does not use this ability as often as the rest as there aren't many occasions were she would want to create a new memory.[/indent] [i]Memory Changing[/i] [indent]The main part of memory manipulation. This allows Arianne to make changes to a memory that a person has. The more subtle the changes the easier it is. If she makes major changes it is more likely that someone is going to realise that their memory has been changed and remember the original memory. In terms of time it is rare that Arianne can change a memory that someone has from over a year ago. [/indent] [/indent] [b]Limits:[/b] [indent]Arianne is limited by whether she knows a memory or not. While she can read memories she must maintain an incredible concentration to do this, and then keep this concentration to change it at all. She is also limited in that she must either know the person very well (as in the case with her family) or be able to see them to read/change their memories. It is rare she can change or access older memories or those that are over a year old. The more fresh the memory the easier it is to access it. Sometimes people realise that something is wrong and that their memories have been changed. This is most often meta-humans in the Cerebral class or intelligent people.[/indent] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [indent]Arianne suffers an equal, but temporary, memory loss to any memory manipulation that she has done. If she slightly changes someone's memory she will forgot small details from recent memories. This scales as the memory changes she makes do. She tries to keep this drawback secret. Along with this she just, in general, has a worse long term memory. She finds it incredibly difficult to remember any of her life from years ago (any memories are fuzzy and constantly changing). After a certain amount of memory manipulation Arianne get's intense migraines. These often become ocular migraines which means she loses her eyesight and is pretty much helpless. She needs to concentrate very hard to change memories meaning that she must ignore everything else around her (and as a result will not notice anything that might happen to her). This is especially the case when reading memories. If someone has a particularly bad memory it is most likely to stick with her, particularly in dreams. This leads to temporary insomnia.
