[color=#660000][b]Full Name:[/b] [/color] Knight Commander Lulu Vivianne Botrelle

   [color=#660000][b]Nicknames/Aliases:[/b][/color] Lu

    [color=#660000][b]Age:[/b][/color] 29

    [color=#660000][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Female

       [color=#660000] [b]Gift:[/b][/color] Nervous system manipulation; [i]includes both active manipulation, which requires focus, as well as passive sensing of nervous “fingerprints” and cues nearby[/i]

[color=#660000][b]Loyalty:[/b][/color] Erubescan; Commander of Biological Warfare and Enhancements

    [color=#660000][b] Description:[/b][/color] Lulu stands at a towering 4'11," with a petite hourglass figure, though she is generally boosted to 5'4" by her heels. She has sharp, vulpine facial features with quick emerald eyes and platinum hair worn in a prim bun. Professional, clean lines are the crux of her style, and she is seldom caught without a pressed suit and tasteful makeup with rouge lipstick. She is often assumed to be taller than she is based on pictures or media interviews due to her strong presence and purposeful stride. 

    [color=#660000][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Much like her dress, Commander Botrelle handles her work relations with the utmost professionalism. Those under her are held to the same standards she keeps for herself, and her disciplinary action is swift. To the same end, she acknowledges loyalty and solid work, and those who are able to exceed her expectations will find themselves rising through the corporate ladder in her labs. 

In the matters of both business and pleasure, Lulu understands when to use a carrot and when a stick is needed. She is a skilled social comedian, and will charm her way to what she wants unless force is necessary. Decorum failing, however, she is not afraid to stand her ground or bare the claws of her military influence. 

The guilt of her work (though some would argue she feels none to begin with,) is dismissed with an attitude of "needing eggs for omelettes," as well as a healthy appetite for socialite life and fine wine. 

    [color=#660000] [b]Skills:[/b] [/color] Convincing social actor, with great skill at reading people and body cues; intensive study into body/nervous system function and anatomy; nervous sensing- the ability to use her gift like a sonar for active nervous signals; quick reflexes and a fighting style based around predicting body movements; commander-level combat knowledge

[color=#660000] [b]Weaknesses:[/b] [/color] Due to her small stature, she is easy to physically overpower; she has an immense fear of mind manipulation/psychics; affinity for physical contact; unquestioning loyalty to her kingdom and those who have earned her trust; her gift depends upon focus, and the more targets she works with, the less predictable it will be

  
[color=#660000] [b]Brief History:[/b] [/color] Lulu was born into Erubesco, and had a relatively rocky childhood due to the volatile and dangerous nature of her gift during her younger years. Unable to fit in well with her peers, she was recruited into Erubesco research at sixteen for work on the SKIP Project. With the Erubescan military research machine, she found the acceptance and respect she had never been able to find in childhood. 

She took part in official Erubesco Basic Military training, and quickly rose through the military ranks upon graduating. She served two short but successful field tours, but found her skills better suited for Citadel work. Six years ago, she became the youngest Knight Commander to head a major research department. 

While her work is morally ambiguous at best, she is quite good at it. Her loyalty to Erubesco and her King is fierce, earning several jokes among friends an enemies alike about being a “guard bitch” to the throne.

She currently works at the Citadel overseeing all experimentation and missions involving biological enhancements and warfare. Super-soldiers, biological “upgrades,” and abominations made to fight are all very much “up her alley.”

[hider=Mitch Ingram]
(photo will come)
Full Name:  Dr. Leila Michelle Ingram

   Nicknames/Aliases:  Mitch

    Age: 34

    Gender: Female

       Gift: Invisibility; invisibility by proxy (can turn objects or people she is touching invisible as well)

Loyalty: Ashlander, former Erubescan researcher. 

    Description: Mitch is on the shorter side of average, around 5’3.” She has mousey brown hair, soft facial features, and light olive-tone skin. Her hazel eyes are unfocused and slightly clouded. Her figure is thin, but soft. At the time when she fled, she was wearing a t-shirt, cargo pants, and sneakers.

    Personality: Mitch is wicked smart with technology, and has a quick wit to rebuke anyone who crosses her. Her moral compass leads her to work for what she feels is the common good, but she is unafraid to wade through less savory methods if the result is deemed worthy.  She is gentle, as a rule, but one would be amiss to mistake her kindness for weakness. 
    
    Skills:  Hacker and computer programmer extraordinaire; brilliant mathematician; intimate understanding of Erubescan security technology; basic first-aid; ability to turn herself and things she is in direct contact with invisible at will.

    Weaknesses: Totally blind; no combat skills.
  
    Brief History: Leila Ingram was born with a degenerative sight defect that could not be corrected by surgery. It hindered her vision greatly, but was able to be corrected to a useable extent with glasses and other vision aids. She took on the nickname of Mitch while in the Erubescan Academy studying computer science: There were not a large number of women in her class, and she found her proposals to be taken more seriously under the alias “Mitch Ingram.” 

After graduation, she was hired to work on developing security technology for the Citadel stronghold of Erubesco. As part of her employment, she was able to receive surgery for her vision involving a corrective digital implant. During this time, she helped develop technology that was used in the ORIN project, programmed sentinel drone protocols, and took part more directly in technological modification attempts on volunteer subjects. The possible moral ambiguity of her work was pushed aside with the reasoning that it was, in the long run, for the greater good and security of those involved. 

About three years ago, she began working with a former gladiator accepted into one of her department’s clinical trials by the name of Orion Lazos. Orion suffered from persistent nerve pain and occasional spasms due to a gift-inflicted injury, and was receiving treatments involving electrical stimulation regulated by microcomputer implants. After several months of close work, the researcher and her subject ended up involved in a covert relationship. 

After a track record of successful outpatient treatment, Orion’s condition took a sudden turn for the worse. His microcomputer seemed to take on a mind of its own, and the program embedded in it began exhibiting functions that Mitch did not code for. Orion was slated to be taken to a different base, and upper supervisors refused to explain where, or why. Concerned, Mitch broke into classified data that revealed far less savory projects slated for Orion’s future. 

Together, the pair staged and executed an escape that left the Citadel security grid disabled for over eight minutes. To ensure a clean escape, however, Mitch had to disable her own vision aids, leaving her fully blind. 

	Other: Mitch is consistently accompanied by her "seeing eye abomination," Apple. The creature was the defective byproduct of an experiment aiming to create lapdog-sized "dragons" for Erubescan elite consumers by splicing a combination of creatures. 38 of his 50 brothers and sisters were hatched as planned and sold, and the while the other twelve suffered abnormalities due to defects in the selective trait suppressors they were administered in early development. Apple was the only mishap to survive, and ended up looking more like a purple-roach-dog than anything vaguely dragony. 

He was given to Mitch as a cruel prank, but the punchline never landed: Unable to see his ugliness, she fell in love with her new service animal. He is a splice between a king cobra, purple hawk moth, hissing cockroach, raven, and domestic dog, generally exhibiting most of the (un)desirable traits of all five species, including purple fluff shedding and a "purr" that registers a bit like angry radio static. He is well house-broken, and knows better than to spit venom on the carpet. He also likes being scritched right between the fronds of his carapace.

[hider=Orion Lazos]
[img]http://img03.deviantart.net/9f38/i/2016/223/7/5/luke_cage_by_henryaldridgeart-dadgpog.jpg[/img]
Full Name: Orion Lazos

   Nicknames/Aliases: Orion "The Hunter" Lazos

    Age: 28

    Gender: Male

       Gift: Material absorption/transmutation; the ability to physically turn his body into any material he touches, becoming literally "made of" a material other than flesh, such as steel, earth, or stone.

Loyalty: Ashlander, former Erubescan gladiator/subject

    Description: Orion stands at 6'5", with a dense, muscular build. His jawline is strong and defined, and his face is handsome, but severe. He keeps his head shaved, has dark brown eyes, and dark skin. 

    Personality: Due in part to his former gladiator upbringing and career, Orion is slow to show sensitivity or concern. At one time, he put a lot of faith in the Erubescan system, but has since lost it due to circumstance. He is a great lover of poetry, particularly older human-era classics, as well as painting, as a result of being forced through Erubescan finishing school. He is a skilled conversationalist with a sharp tongue.
    
    Skills: Formidable hand-to-hand combatant; relatively durable; high pain tolerance; spacial awareness; adaptable gift.

    Weaknesses: Sudden and unpredictable nervous pain; damage sustained while in a transmuted form applies to his body (such as being shattered while turned into glass)
  
    Brief History: Orion was born into a line or Erubescan sport fighters: Gladiators who fought against other gifted in the arena (to submission, but not death,) or against animals ferociously modified to battle superhumans. It was a spectator sport, and Orion was expected to train as a gentleman and showman as well as an athlete. Mingling with fans and the social elite when not in the ring was an expectation, so Orion is also versed in classical arts and conversation. 

He achieved fleeting fame for several months when he was in his prime, but a devastating injury affecting her nervous system forced him out of the ring in his late 20s. He was a candidate for experimental micro-computer treatment, and fell into a trial group under Dr. Leila "Mitch" Ingram. Over the time they were working together, the two formed an unexpected, but secret, relationship.

The treatment proved affective for nearly three years, but the implants began displaying buggy coding and causing all manner of problems. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was slated to be transferred without his permission to another facility for treatments that people refused to explain. 

With help from Mitch, Orion deactivated his aid and the two fled into the Ash.
