On the outside he is always bright and energetic, quick to talk and make others feel better where he can. Though kind and caring, not a person who would purposefully hurt another, he can often not properly think through what he says and can inadvertently cause offence. Along with that the way he acts can be very in people's face and overwhelming. Though very person orientated Luca tries not to depend on others, more because he wants to keep up the facade that he is always full of energy and not show how he actually feels. Just looking at him you wouldn't have thought that he was affected at all by not normally developing magic, though of course it was something he struggled with growing up - he just did it alone. Luca is also easily distracted and has a habit of never properly thinking things, meaning that he can do something on an impulse and have it blow up on his face. His quick reactions can help him here but it doesn't change the fact that he rarely goes into something with a plan, even when he should. It's not to say he isn't sensible, just likely to do something on a whim. Even with this if he finds something he really likes Luca will get stuck into it. [/hider] [b]~ History ~[/b] Luca was a cheerful child, born to two incredibly intelligent parents (even by current time standards) and with one older brother. He got on well with his family and was especially close to his brother, Sebastian. He was always a little bit odd, his high energy meant he struggled to just sit down and pursue the kinds of sciences a child was expected to have an interest in. Instead he would rather be running about, learning how to cartwheel and climbing whatever he could. His parents put up with it - they assumed that he would grow out of it, and all of his teachers thought it was the oddity of a blossoming genius. Between this and his bright personality he had no lack of friends. And he was smart, he just had no urge to act on it. Slowly everyone his age began developing powers, and it seemed like everyday someone came in with one. Luca's brother had developed his own earlier than most, and Luca had looked forward to being one of the first in his class. But soon he was only one left without them. He was yet to go through the physical changes of puberty, though, so maybe he was just a slow developer? But the power never came. It came as a shock to all; after all who didn't develop powers? His parents tried everything to find out what was wrong as Luca slowly lost what friends he had, ostracized from most of the society. He bore it with a grin, though, only breaking down when spending time with Sebastian - the one person who stuck with him through it. He had no motivation to be academic before his power didn't develop, and even less after. Refusing to go to college caused a massive argument with his parents but he got his way. After all they had essentially given up hope on him and focused all their ambitions on his brother. Luca got a simple job, baking, and threw himself into it. He found he enjoyed it if he tried at least and tried not to let the stigma get to him. He channelled his energy into a similar sportiness he'd had as a child - after all what did it matter if he did one more thing that wasn't approved of? It wasn't exactly an amazing life, but it could’ve been worse.

Her parents were of average intelligence for society nowadays. Katya fought a lot with all her siblings and got on most with her slightly younger brother, Mikhail. The two were only a year apart whereas there was a bigger gap with all her other siblings. Katya did fine at school, finding it easy to focus on any work she was given. She wasn’t ever more than average but it wasn’t something that bothered her. She always looked forward to developing her powers, with most of her family having powers related to metals such as copper or iron. Soon most of her classmates had them, then all of them along with Mikhael. Then her three year younger sister had a power and she still did not. It didn’t take long for her family to realise, after taking her to a doctor or two, that Katya wasn’t likely to develop any kind of affinity. She was well past puberty, with the figure and mind of a woman. She was one of very few; powerless. It was almost not heard of. Without hope of a job based off of a power Katya tried to find something else she was good at. This thing happened to be dancing, due to her natural grace and good movement. She had to learn herself but she worked hard – hunting down materials on stuff such as ballet, which was no easy feat. She went to college anyway to study a degree in human biology. She was unlikely to get a job in it but her parents wanted her to get some kind of major. Since they had supported her even after discovering she was powerless she gave into their demands. Katya only recently graduated, and since then has been dancing to try and make money. She doesn’t have very much and shares a small flat with Mikhael, who is still at college. Most of the places she finds work are dingy bars with little interest in her elegance in dancing and more looking for her skills elsewhere. She bears with it though, because she needs the money, and hopes one day she’ll be appreciated for what she actually does.
