I need darkness as much as I need light." - Barbara Brown Taylor[/color] [b]Alias: [/b] [color=red]Blackout[/color] [b]Age: [/b] [color=red]21[/color] [b]Gender: [/b] [color=red]Female[/color] [b]Occupation:[/b] [color=red]Student / Waitress[/color] [color=red][h3]◈ ◈ ◈ ◈ ◈[/h3][/color] [b]Abilities: [/b] [color=red][b][i]Shadow Rending[/i][/b] - [/color]The manipulation of shadows, specifically to help mask oneself. Eliott can conceal her body in complete darkness, silence her footsteps, and make occasional bursts of speed in an anointed direction. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] [color=red][i][b]Physically Weak[/b][/i] - [/color]Although Eliott is pretty well-trained, she isn't all that powerful. In terms of offence and defence she can't hold her own, unless she's running away or hiding. She desperately wants to learn some kind of self defence with her power, however isn't sure if it is even possible. [color=red][i][b]Heat Detection; Scent Detection[/b][/i] - [/color]She's invisible to sight and sound, not smell and touch. She is especially wary of the police because of this. [b]Equipment:[/b] [color=red][i][b]Stun Batons -[/b][/i][/color] Eliott has two stun batons which she can use to quickly incapacitate enemies, made back when she first operated as a member of Ark. The batons have the option to turn the shock mechanism on or off. [color=red][i][b]Smoke Grenades -[/b][/i][/color] For when Eliott needs to make a quick escape or cause a distraction, these babies come in handy. She has a small stock of them at home, though they'll be running out soon. [color=red][i][b]Stun Gun -[/b][/i][/color] This semi-auto pistol-looking taser allows Eliott to electrocute and incapacitate those at a distance (50m). It is custom-made and fires what is essentially paintballs which have been electrically charged. The magazine carries eight balls and the gun is prone to jamming, so she tries not to use it often. [color=gray][h3]◈ ◈ ◈ ◈ ◈[/h3][/color] [b]Bio:[/b] [color=red]Until ten years ago, Eliott Reider didn't actually exist. There were no records, no parents, and nobody that went by that name. However there was a girl who looked a lot like Eliott. Her name was Seven. Like all people in this world, Seven was conceived and born the human way. Her mother adored her, her father loved her, yet neither love nor adoration can save you in a car crash. She was orphaned at two years old, being one of the unlucky babies not chosen for adoption. She stayed an orphan for two more years, till she was adopted by an elderly scientist, a man who would later call himself "Father John". A man who would erase the name she once knew, and give her the name she now knew best: Seven. There were twenty-seven more children in the building with white walls, white coats, white doors, each only slightly older or slightly younger than Seven. She connected with three others: Eleven, Four, and Eighteen. Eleven and Four were boys, Eighteen being another girl. Despite how different each of them were, they shared a common denominator which made each of them identical in the eyes of Father John and his team: They were Gaps. Gaps being those that fit neither mutant superhuman nor regular human. They were rare children afflicted with a rare condition which resulted in a lack of genetic code for superpowers. In other words, for them there wasn't an "on" for mutant powers or an "off" for standard human written in their genetic code. There was a gap. They were tested on because of this. Gifted the powers of extraordinary humans through genetic manipulation, the children were subject to tests. Tests, false promises of painlessness, and heartbreak. Many former friends died when exposed to their inherited power. Technology had not advanced far enough to save the unlucky or unfit. However, those that survived were much stronger than their former selves. They could do things no normal human could. They became incredibly powerful. For six years they withstood the tests. Numbers were counted down, till those that remained could be counted on your fingers. Seven, Eleven, Four, Eighteen, Thirteen, Twenty-Two, Twenty, Nine, Twelve. Eventually, Seven broke out. Along with her friends, they ran and ran and never looked back, using their powers to escape. They hid in LA, survived in LA, became people again in LA. They went to school, got adopted by good folk, and lived their lives like normal people. But they weren't normal. The guilt of leaving those behind, forgotten, ate away at them Four years ago, Ark was created. Today it resurfaces to bring about what it couldn't in LA after its year-long run. To make sure the same mistakes are not repeated, Seven has started the operation alone, her only friends gone after losing Eighteen. This is to make sure nobody gets hurt. That the only one who could be held responsible being herself. To make sure nobody she cares about dies again. Ark will succeed in its mission. It will scare and terrorise, but never kill. It will get what it wants before injustice can be dealt. It needs to succeed this time. It [i]has[/i] to.[hr][hr] Eliott herself is rather shy and withdrawn. She doesn't like speaking up or making her presence known, instead being a silent observer to the world. That is, unless a book has caught her interest. She reads books religiously, always trying to expand her knowledge or otherwise read something fun. She enjoys the activity very much and usually visits the university library between classes to read. She does have a bit of a nerd side too, and prefers spending time home alone playing games than social interactions, though isn't completely against nor afraid of them. When operating as Blackout, Eliott's personality does a complete 180. She goes from the shy academic bookworm to the insane acrobatic joker. Blackout is completely carefree when it comes to showing off, which she does quite a bit, trying to do good on her phantom vigilante image. In fact she cares rather deeply about her image and how she, as well as the rest of Ark, is seen by the public, in an effort to make sure her motives can be identified and not mislabeled as a villain. Blackout is cocky and thinks very highly of herself, however is also incredibly cautious.

He's rather serious and a little cold, though warms to those he's close to. Current whereabouts are unknown, presumed outside Maximum City. [color=red]Eleven -[/color] Another of Eliott's childhood friends, also known through difficult circumstances. He's very open and talkative, often speaking a little quicker than most can understand, unless you've known him a long while. Also presumed out of Maximum City, unknown location.
