Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same.

Since the incident she has developed a great fear of large bodies of water, mainly oceans and dark or murky water. -Ability to breath underwater -Ability to see clearly in deep water, where others would need some kind of light i.e. a night vision of sorts -Ability to manipulate liquid water (not ice, snow, or things which contain water, just pure water) [color=8493ca]Personality[/color] -Optimistic -Clingy -Charismatic -Unfocused -Patient -Timid [color=8493ca]Relations[/color] -Andrew Vaccaro (Brother, deceased) -Timothy Day (Half-brother) -Sandra Day (Previously Vaccaro) (Mother) -Joseph Day (Stepfather) -John Vaccaro (Father, deceased) [color=8493ca]Backstory[/color] Raised in an average sized town, in an average looking house, with an average seeming family, Maddie always wanted to be more than just [i]average[/i]. School was easy for her; she had friends and got good grades, but it all seemed very hum-drum. When she was younger and her father was around life wasn't nearly so boring. Sadly when she was a mere five years old her father and brother drowned while fishing on the lake in the backyard. All three of them had been in the boat, and Maddie's brother Andy pulled his lifejacket off and gave it to her before sinking down into the darkness. It was hours before the paramedics arrived, as her father's house was over an hour from the nearest town, and Maddie was on the shore when they arrived, huddled in a ball, her eyes red and puffy though she had long since run out of tears. The accident spurred up years of trauma for Maddie, and while the vibrant memory of that day faded into a dull ache, the fear stayed alive as ever. When her mother remarried Maddie got another brother, Tim, and a stepdad. Neither of those things changed much of anything in her life, but that was the way of things. Nothing really altered her way of life. She eventually grew into a young woman who could be described as a people person in a sense. Her charisma came from her mother, ever the charmer, and though she remained erring on the side of caution in many cases she remained optimistic that her life would amount to more. And now it has.

Geoff [/center] [color=#CDCDC1]Name[/color] Wren Geoff [color=#CDCDC1]Age[/color] 23 [color=#CDCDC1]Phobia-ability[/color] Nyctophobia Defined as not simply the fear of darkness, but the fear of what you cannot see in the dark; that there is something in the dark that intends to do you harm. Wren's phobia developed when he was young before his mother abandoned him. He often slept in the dark closet in their one bedroom and the sounds coming from the other side of the closet door drew vivid nightmares from his darkest dreams. -Ability to see in the dark -Ability to cause hallucinations -Ability to make others believe that there is something watching them from the darkness [color=#CDCDC1]Personality[/color] -Charming -Independent -Confident -Arrogant -Quick Thinking -Manipulative [color=#CDCDC1]Relations[/color] -June Geoff (Mother, location unknown) [color=#CDCDC1]Backstory[/color] Born to a young woman who had no business raising a child, and brought up on the streets of a big city after being abandoned at ten years old, Wren has spent much of his life on the run. Running from his mistakes and responsibilities. At fifteen he found himself amongst a bad group of folks and soon landed in a juvenile detention center. He was released after six months and came out a very different young man. He found a job and made an honest attempt to turn his life around. That lasted for almost a year and when times got tough he returned to his less than desirable ways. He found out about the P.H.O.B.I.A. Project through an old coworker and expressed interest. He was soon swept into the world of science and genetic engineering, and, although his phobia still causes him more than a few problems, he has been honing his skills ever since.
