I need darkness as much as I need light." - Barbara Brown Taylor[/color] [b]Alias: [/b] [color=red]Decibel[/color] [b]Age: [/b] [color=red]21[/color] [b]Gender: [/b] [color=red]Female[/color] [color=red][h3]◈ ◈ ◈ ◈ ◈[/h3][/color] [b]Abilities: [/b] [color=red][b][i]Frequency[/i][/b] - [/color] Eliott is able to manipulate vibrations in the air to mute all sound in a 10 meter radius of her. Any noise made within this radius will be simply non-existent, making those within deaf, and those outside the radius cannot hear anything made inside. The vibrations can be absorbed by Eliott and used to send a powerful shockwave, the intensity of which rivalling the vibrations she absorbed while muting her surroundings. Furthermore, she can steadily vibrate any physical object, and steadily increase the strength of her vibrations while contact is maintained. While she can manipulate air and water, it is not to a point where it will have a significant impact on another person., and in the case of air, only be enough to knock things off of shelves or create small winds. Her power can be used on living things, and is especially good at shattering bones, knocking people unconscious, or relieving eardrums of disorientation. [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]Sound Barrier[/b][/i] - [/color]Of course, anything which can manipulate wind or water, or has a body made of such, will counter Eliott pretty hard. Or anything which can keep their distance, really. [b]Precautions:[/b] [color=red][i][b]Suppressor Bracelets[/b][/i] - [/color]Eliott's powers are suppressed while in The Tower, to prevent her from escaping. Due to her background and relatively recent induction, she isn't seen as trustworthy yet, so must wear the bracelets around The Tower. [b]Equipment:[/b] [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. They aren't special outside of a visual blockade, though she can manipulate the smoke a lot easier than plain air. Or at the very least it's more visible. [color=gray][h3]◈ ◈ ◈ ◈ ◈[/h3][/color] [b]History:[/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. Ark, a terrorist organization whose sole purpose was to expose the corruption of the members' past. Their riddles took the hero scene by storm, and caused trouble as a series of copycat villains broke out in inspiration. As vigilantes, it was hard trying to deliver justice with the heroes labeling you terrorists. That said, they weren't far from the truth, either... Ark was attacked, arrested, and one of its members killed. Those who came under arrest were separated, never to see one-another again. Eliott could be considered a lucky one. Her power, much too difficult to control outside of The Tower, was given two options: Attend New Horizon Academy, or be destroyed. [hr][hr][color=white][b]Personality:[/b][/color] 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 Tower's library between missions to read. She does have a bit of a nerd side too, and prefers spending time alone playing games than social interactions, though isn't completely against nor afraid of them. When operating as Decibel, Eliott's personality does a complete 180. She goes from the shy academic bookworm to the insane acrobatic joker. Decibel 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 is seen by the public, in an effort to make sure her motives can be identified and not mislabeled as a villain. Decibel is cocky and thinks very highly of herself, however is also incredibly cautious.

While they differ physically, their shared personality traits could lead to some kind of friendship. Either that, or they are both too quiet to even talk to one-another... She doesn't seem particularly fazed by the fact he's an alien, though. [b][color=00aeef]Miles Miller[/color][/b] Miles is another quiet one, and Eliott is unsure of if they will get along. Her meek nature makes her reluctant to approach him directly, especially considering his own isolationism. The difference in age, in spite of appearance, is jarring to Eliott, though from what little they have spoken, it was well-mannered and formal. [b][color=sandybrown]Silas Myers[/color][/b] Eliott is in a strange state when it comes to Silas. She seemingly wants to ask him something, but at the same time isn't willing to go forward with it. Every push to say something results in her trying to run away. In the times she has approached, she seems invested in conversation, but unable to really keep them going well. [b][color=orange]Ricardo Fenix[/color][/b] The Dawn himself, Ricardo's outgoing nature is something to be admired, even by Eliott. She seems to enjoy his presence, oddly enough, and though she won't talk often, when she does, it's often praise. She has wondered if he'd be willing to train her, though has yet to ask. [b]Alice Jefferson[/b] Unlike Ricardo, Eliott doesn't seem to particularly like Alice. She gives her glares when she isn't looking, and sometimes when she is. What little conversation they've had, Eliott has remained largely silent and doesn't like to go into detail about herself. New Horizon has noted this lack of communication and found her more suitable within Epsilon. [b][color=265582]Sydney Lorraine[/color][/b] Eliott and Sydney haven't really had a chance to communicate, though that may be because Eliott suspects her being a primary reason Ark had so much trouble, and possibly the reason for their arrest. Another reason New Horizon assigned her to Epsilon. [b][color=a36209]Jane Martin[/color][/b] While Eliott is friendly and kind towards Jane, she has noted how hard it would be for her to fight her. While an excellent safety measure if Eliott ever went rogue, they seem to get along well, so it's hard to say what either would do if they were to confront one-another. [b][color=crimson]Leolin "Leo" Cwm Annwn[/color][/b] The alien Leonlin has apparently caught the interest of Eliott's alter-ego. She wishes to train with him and test her acrobatics against his wild speed. Eliott imagines them getting along well, and would love the opportunity to train with him. [b][color=SkyBlue]Valora Beaumont[/color][/b] The shapeshifter Valora is someone Eliott feels would've made a great beginning member to Ark, if only her tale went differently. Even if it hadn't, the former terrorist feels Valora would have made a great addition. One of the few who Eliott will actively seek out and talk to, check up on, and try to befriend. [b]Joseiah Kimbell[/b] Joseiah's company seems to evoke a strongly positive response from Eliott. Staff have noted her general increase in joy whenever Joseiah is around, particularly when it comes to ice puns. Whenever they are separated, however, she becomes withdrawn and quite upset. New Horizon believes it has something to do with her past. [/center][/hider]
