[hider=Seraphina Iclosis] [img]http://data.whicdn.com/images/81137988/large.jpg[/img] Full Name: Seraphina Iclosis Nicknames/Aliases: Sera, Spirit Age: 21 Gender: Female Loyalty: Wanderer (formerly Liberty) Gifts: -Light manipulation -Astral projection + tethering ability = spirit form (activates stasis) -Heat manipulation Description: Sera is considered attractive by most of the wanderers, even with her abnormal eyes. She has long caramel coloured hair that has loose waves, and unless she’s using her light manipulation to make her eyes look normal, they are pure white, with no irises or pupils. She is slightly shorter than average, with a slight frame that goes well with her preferred battle style of “dancing” past enemy attacks. She is physically fit, having been both a Liberty agent and now a wanderer with the everyday fight for survival. When in spirit form, she is cast in white, with some shadows showing definition. Her hair whips around wildly when she is agitated. Personality: Sera’s personality comes off as a bit unstable, because of her ongoing effort to not remind the wanderers of her past clashing with traits Liberty made sure she had. However, as a general rule, she is empathetic, friendly, and rather flirtatious. She is fun loving and this shows during calmer times, but in battles, the personality Liberty programmed comes through and she becomes focused and efficient. She is not a Leader, nor a meek Follower; she will challenge decisions she disagrees with. She has a touch of vanity to her, but as many undesirable traits, she struggles with expressing it, along with things such as loneliness. Sera cannot stand to be ignored, and wants someone to care for her, so when she feels like an afterthought, she begins to break down. Seraphina also has a high control of herself, though she’s been letting go a bit more often since she left the faction. Skills: -Seraphina is an excellent liar and can read people well thanks to her training in Liberty Espionage -She is very good with guns -She has been trained extensively by Liberty, making her a dangerous opponent even with traditionally non-offensive gifts -High emotional control -Fast, agile, and observant in battle Weaknesses: -Her gifts don’t have much defensive capability, so she has to rely on evasion -She cannot use heat manipulation in her Spirit form Brief History: What Sera remembers is that Liberty forced her parents to leave her and her sister behind after the Iclosis adults brought their unconscious elder daughter to the faction for help after she got stuck in her spirit form. She was only 6 at the time, and wavered between rebelling against the faction for separating her from her parents and wanting to be a good agent, as all the propaganda proclaimed. This rebelliousness lasted until she was ten, at which point she did something unforgivable in Liberty’s eyes. Liberty responded by blinding her. Fear of such consequences forced Sera to submit to the faction and allow them to mold her into the heartless and efficient espionage agent who tricked many other wandering groups into Liberty’s clutches. However, things changed when she met the wanderers, a group she thought might be strong enough to take a Liberty team on. The result of the raid was her losing her sister, her one true tie to Liberty, at which point she was free to join the wanderers. Sera worries that the other Wanderers distrust her, and left for short period of time, only to be reunited with them in the city of Helton. However, she has become more withdrawn due to the long delay in the reunion. Other: -She is a complete failure at using knives or swords -Her favourite colour is orange and she likes to wear dresses, but tends not to because of practicality -She loves waking up early and will often wake the other wanderers in the process [/hider] [hider=Talin Melardos] [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RHAqIxBsTwQ/VTAvDzqUssI/AAAAAAAAIPQ/mWBR9T7N_2w/w700-h925/13192_724883524295477_3548565068631082242_n.jpg[/img] Full Name: Talin Melardos Nicknames/Aliases: Tal, Tango Age: 24 Gender: Male Loyalty: Wanderer, (formerly Liberty Training - Elite Trainer) Gift: -Speed combined with Rapid processing (basically, he sees things in slow motion) -Gift sight (sees gifts as manifestations around their owners) Description: Talin is very slight, fitting for his status as a speedster, but his arms are well muscled due to his weapons of choice being blunt trauma types. He has honey brown hair and pale green eyes, along with a gentle face. He is nervous and twitchy, with a habit of standing with his back against walls. Personality: Talin is a gentle soul, but years of harsh treatment have created his current demeanour. He is a loner, and presents himself as uncaring and apathetic. He was honestly happier within Liberty, where his skill as a trainer had him respected. While forced into the faction, he does not particularly care for freedom. Within the wanderers, he scorns them, tending to keep apart and only joining in when unavoidable. He finds it hard to bond with others, and so his strongest relationships are of the student-mentor type, with those who have approached him for help with their gifts. Talin holds a grudge against the wanderers for the death of his closest friend and secret love, unable to stop this train of thought despite feeling it to be somewhat irrational as they had considered them to be enemies at that time. He is lonely and would love to talk to others, but hates himself for his sexuality and so is not very confident. His trained personality, under the name of Tango, is the opposite, being highly confident in himself and his abilities. Talin can force a switch into “Tango”, becoming much more confident and authoritative. As "Tango", he is a leader and a ruthless decision maker. Skills: -High control of his gift and its secondary powers -Good instinct for training gifts and how to get the most out of them -Expert with blunt trauma type weaponry Weaknesses: -Hates himself -Freaks out when approached from behind -Can’t stand being trapped or enclosed -Very distrustful -Apathetic -Not many strong bonds -Still grieving Brief History: Talin grew up just fine until he was 14, when his father had enough of his oddities and dumped the boy at Liberty. Alone and physically weak, he became an easy target to other Agents, and found himself ignored by the Council with his complaints, because he was so insignificant. Tired of the treatment, Talin threw himself into training and helping others train. It was during this time that he met Robert, a latent earth elemental who took to protecting him until Talin gained the status needed to discourage others from messing with him. Talin slowly fell in love with Robert, and with Sera’s help, the two hatched a plot to run away together. The plan went horribly wrong when Sierra, who had been meant to help the Wanderers, switched sides, and Robert ended up killed. Talin wandered on his own for a while before being found by Sera, who convinced him to come to Helton where he ended up joining the wanderers reluctantly. Robert's dream was to escape and to honour it, Talin stays away, but if it was up to him, he'd return to Liberty in a flash. Other: -“Tango” is a trained way of thinking that allows Talin to push aside his normal nervousness and fear in high stress situations. Originally intended to be used only on the field, Talin usually ends up using “Tango” in any situation he would rather avoid. -While Talin will help the Wanderers however he can, he won't exactly take initiative until someone asks. -Is a healthy eating nut -As he sees the gifts of others as representations, if you have a specific vision in mind PM me :P [/hider] [hider=Nicola Varren] [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TIV-aTLhj8Y/VS3oRvo7icI/AAAAAAAAARo/aLzRuQeBJdI/s1600/orlando%2Bbloom.jpg[/img] Full Name: Nicola Micheal Varren Nicknames/Aliases: Viceroy, Viceroy Varren Age: 43 Gender: Male Loyalty: Erubesco Viceroy of The Citadel Gift: -Manipulation of electricity -Sleep touch Description: Nicola Varren was considered very handsome in his youth, and you can still see why beneath the effects stress and overwork has wrought. His hair is chestnut brown, though now streaked liberally with grey, but is still soft and healthy to the touch. He has olive green eyes which have lost none of their sharpness, though the sparkle has gone down in increments over the years. He has a few frown lines around his mouth as well as his forehead - evidence of how often he wears an incredulous expression on a day-to-day basis. He is a tall and solidly built man in relatively good shape (unless you compare him to the Knights in which case he is not). Nicola often looks stressed or irritated, or both. His smile lights up his face, but the Viceroy doesn't have much reason to smile nowadays. When the strain is especially bad, his hands begin to shake. Personality: Nicola is intelligent, logical, strategic, and easily irritated. Enjoying logic and order, he finds it hard to deal with Erubesco’s general insanity. He is very devoted to the faction, and so takes it seriously, expecting his subordinates to do the same. Nicola is very hardworking, almost a workaholic, and he will happily go above and beyond for Erubesco. He tries his best to be fair in his judgement, but usually all his patience is used up by the second person to mess up. He’s a perfectionist as well, and he is severely aggravated when things don’t go according to plan. Skills: -When not aggravated, is very rational -Intelligent, good at strategy -Doesn’t rule by fear -Is competent at his job -is good at reading others Weaknesses: -Believes that without him the base will fall apart -Is prone to overworking himself -Easily annoyed -Easily stressed -Horrible at handling that stress -Has already had a few nervous breakdowns -Prone to favouritism -Is a control freak Brief History: Nicola Varren was born to an established lordship and grew up hearing of the glory of Erubesco. Quiet and intelligent, the boy was still very much a child and loved to play Knights with his peers. His parents were highly focused on success and raised their children to be just as ambitious. Nicola, based on his personal definition of success, decided to join the Erubesco ranks. Though with potential to be an efficient Knight, the Erubesco leadership decided Nicola’s skills were mostly in administration, and put him on that track. As his responsibilities increased, his free time and energy for fun decreased. The event that shoved Nicola over the edge to the serious workaholic he is today was the sudden death of his parents. Completely unexpected, both Varren children were left reeling. Suddenly, Nicola had to deal with the responsibility of being Lord Varren and managing his sister’s courtships while angling for the coveted promotion to Viceroy. As their ideologies split further and further apart, Nicola began to lose patience and as soon as Cecelia was safely married, he promptly disowned her. Soon, the combination of overwork and higher stress response led the new Viceroy to begin suffering small nervous breaks that escalated over time. However, because he is good at what he does, Erubesco doesn't mind...much. Other: -He regrets disowning his sister but has no idea how to begin an apology[/hider] [hider=Sierra Iclosis] [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDvv42SUIAAJpoO.jpg[/img] Full Name: Sierra Iclosis Nicknames/Aliases: Siren Age: 17 Gender: Female Loyalty: Liberty - Espionage Trainee Gift: -Sound Manipulation -Astral projection + tethering ability = spirit form (triggers stasis) Description: Sierra is seventeen and just starting to grow into her new height and curves. Blonde and blue eyed, she is finally the same height as her elder sister and very pleased about the fact. She’s well aware of the attention her looks get her, and is especially practised at looking cherubically innocent or pouting sweetly. Her hair is long and straight, and her eyes are large with long lashes. She is very fair, fit as all Trainees must be, and keeps her hair up in a bun or a braid when she’s working, which is most of the time. Sierra has very good posture and walks with her back ramrod straight. When annoyed, she places her hands on her hips, while when shy, she crosses them in front of her stomach defensively. Even when down, her hair is always kept clear of her ears. Personality: Sierra is dedicated to Liberty. and is extremely hardworking and serious about moving up the ranks. She simultaneously envies and idolizes Sera, hoping to one day show that she is just as good as her sister. Beneath it all, however, is a strong sisterly bond, so she’s been left on shaky ground after Sera’s betrayal of Liberty. This has only strengthened her resolve, as she must now prove that more than ever, she is not her sister. Sierra is very friendly and a romantic at heart, believing in true love. She is loyal to both friends and faction. Skills: -Great singer -Very good with use and extended use of her gift -Focused and dedicated -Clever -Good with guns AND knives (Ha, take that, Sera!) -Can use her sound manipulation in spirit form Weaknesses: -Physically unimposing and not as fast as Sera -Gifts don’t have defensive applications Brief History: Sierra was brought to Liberty very young and so barely remembers her parents. She was protected by her sister from some of the harsher elements of Liberty training until she was ready to deal with them. She idolized Seraphina, but as she became older also began to feel a bit jealous and wish to prove she could be just as great of an agent. She has watched her sister and the consequences the elder girl suffered for failure cemented her own loyalty with a desire to avoid such punishment. Sierra was shocked and horrified to be brought back from a long stasis only to learn that her sister had betrayed Liberty and run off with those who caused Sierra’s apparent death, and when she was given the chance to join a fast track to espionage, she threw herself into the work. She is determined to reawaken Seraphina and bring her sister back to her side.’ Other: -She loves to sing -Has a sneaky manipulative side, fitting an espionage trainee -Walks very quietly -Wants very badly to be trained as Tanner's personal trainee [/hider] [hider=Damien Moore] [img]http://i.imgur.com/K79PquG.png[/img] Full Name: Damien Moore Nicknames/Aliases: Dami, Danielle Winston Age: 25 Gender: Male Loyalty: Erubesco Civilian Lord Gift: -Hypnotic abilities based around inducing lust and desire -Proficient human shapeshifter -Energy drain Description: Straight blond hair that brushes his shoulders and warm brown eyes that sparkle and tease are Dami’s two most captivating characteristics. His frame is tall and slim, lightly toned rather than muscled. A delicate facial structures gives him a touch of femininity, and he’s always been a very girly boy. Personality: Fun, flirtatious, and a fucking huge tease, Dami is a very good representative of Erubesco frivolity. He is vain, immoral, and will sleep with any man he finds attractive. Dami can also be surprisingly cold, and he’s a vengeful little thing, often going above and beyond when he feels he's been wronged. That said, Dami has a surprisingly good mind for business, and has made his fashion line one of the best known in Erubesco. He’s absolutely shameless, loves to show off, and is a cheerful optimist who takes extreme joy in life… unless he’s having one of his insecure mood swings, but those are private moments no one else has ever witnessed. Dami is also extremely self destructive, but this has thankfully not yet been triggered in any serious capacity. He is also terrified of losing control. Skills: -Seduction, flirtation, flattery -Reading people -Extremely good at controlling his gifts -Has a bodyguard who can read intentions Weaknesses: -Vain, a bit self centered -Depends heavily on James (his bodyguard) to take care of him and keep him content -His shapeshifting is dependent on his imagination, so he cannot replicate things such as fingerprints or iris patterns. He also can't replicate tattoos, unnatural hair or eye colours, and cannot modify his body beyond typical human appearances Brief History: A pretty young man in his prime, Dami liked to go out and party instead of sit at a desk learning how to take care of the family business. This was turned against him when both parents died, leaving him and their trusted business partner the sole heirs. Too bad said business partner was ambitious, and used the blond’s known frivolity as a reason to take over the school in Damien’s stead. With that move, Dami lost the company his parents had worked towards all their lives. He wanted revenge. Step one was self defence, after he was attacked in his own home by a mercenary. He hired a bodyguard, James (hired for his mental gifts), who soon became his lover, who watched over as Dami established and grew his business. Soon Dami could support his lifestyle. He still wants revenge, and claims to have a plan, but thus far, this plan seems to involve sleeping with the entire male population of Erubesco and going to as many parties as possible. In the background though, he’s sinister. Because a certain homophobic ex-business partner can’t seem to stop lusting after a certain pretty male blond... Other: -Dami can't stand being tied up or held down. He’s also claustrophobic -Dami's parents owned and ran Erubesco's most well known finishing school -Dami has started his own successful fashion line within Erubesco. This is how he met Derrick Avalon, and he is now a close friend of his. -He lives in a mansion named Riventree, and has paid a lot of money to have the lads around it restored to full potential [/hider] [hider=Faye Dimevih] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/53/26/1d/53261dd653cc88d83ca270ef77abb3a9.jpg[/img] Full Name: Faye Dimevih Nicknames/Aliases: Faye, Councillor, Genetics Councillor, Lucky Age: 32 Gender: Female Loyalty: Liberty - Genetics Councillor Gift: -Luck manipulation -Telekinesis -Cryokinesis -Ability to strengthen one gift by weakening another (only applicable to herself) Description: Tall and thin, Faye has a pleasant face and pin straight brown hair. Her eyes are a pale calm blue which can become piercing when her temper is up, but not otherwise. She walks briskly, often wearing a light open lab coat, and is rarely seen without a clipboard or notepad or folders in her hands. The lab coat is worn mostly for its large pockets, but Faye dresses practically, as someone who spends a lot of time in labs. For the same reason, her hair is often in a bun, though in her downtime she prefers a low ponytail. Personality: Faye is serious and dedicated to her job, but as a person is very open and friendly with others. She likes to help and be helpful, though she can be rather unempathetic - something encouraged by Liberty to make disposing of live lab failures easy. Faye is also very enthusiastic about her task in genetics, and she is at the peak of her ambition. Content with being Genetics Councillor, she wouldn't try for Leader of Liberty even if it were an option. Faye is also insecure, both about her appearance and her accomplishments. Because of the luck gift she possesses, she worries others will not respect her because they believe her gift is behind her success. She is also rather maternal. Skills: -Typical Liberty proficiency with her gifts -Able to kill in cold blood -A decent shot, a perfect one when using with luck gift -Intelligent Weaknesses: -Insecure -Very strong attachment to her pet project -Isn't too pleased with her higher rank, as now she has to do paperwork instead of experiments -Would rather eliminate a threat instead of trying a potentially more strategic approach -Shifting power levels take time, and it’s not always clear which gifts should be made stronger right away -Does not recognize the strong ambition in the other Councillors Brief History: Faye was always into science, and as she got older, became fascinated with genes and genetics. Hailed as a prodigy, everyone got a shock when her luck gift became revealed, suddenly throwing all of Faye’s accomplishments into question. Further testing with gift nullifiers proved that her intelligence wasn't just luck, but by then the other kids knew, and as competition for recognition became more fierce, Faye became a sore spot for many of the others - after all, even with all their work, there was just no way they could overcome a luck gift. She joined the Genetics department, but soon got into a spot of trouble. The previous Councillor became fascinated with her shifting gifts and wished to see how they would combine with other genes. Though unhappy with the idea, the young woman “allowed” the experiment to go ahead, knowing that truly she had no choice. The resulting pregnancy became dangerous and ended up being aborted. Doctors told Faye that she would not be able to carry a child again unless the baby gifted was a luck manipulator, like herself. Though upset, Faye took the time to get over it and return to work. No longer subject to the Councillor’s interest, she was able to focus on running her own experiments. The combination of intelligence and luck made her a valued member of the sector and personal pride let her ignore the envy of others. Faye, however, earned the most recognition through her work on the Sub Zero experiment, scheduled to be destroyed before Faye created a solution for the dangerous temperatures reached. She was honestly surprised to find herself being named as Councillor, and though happy, worries incessantly that if she makes even one misstep, the rumours about her using her luck gift to advance unfairly will start anew. Faye has her own ideas on how Genetics should be run and is slowly implementing them. Other: -Generally, Faye keeps her gifts set to equal strength. It takes her a bit of time to shift the balance -Is in a romantic relationship with another Councillor [/hider]
