A close look at Michael’s skin reveal thick sharp hairs, a product of his powers. [b]Notoriety |[/b] Watched 👀 [b]Class/Level |[/b] Natural Amplifier/Blue [b]Abilities |[/b] Cockroach/Blattodea Mimicry – Has several abilities unfortunately (to him) shared with the cockroach. Possesses enhanced strength, reflexes, speed, durability, and regeneration. Can wallcrawl on rougher surfaces. Possesses the ability to manipulate cockroaches through communication primarily using pheromones. In addition, Mike has the ability to create a hardened exoskeleton, but it gives him a grotesque appearance. He is sensitive to bright light, but he thrives in darkness. The regeneration of limbs is the upper limit to Michael’s enhanced regeneration, internal organs cannot be properly regenerated.

Wears shades during the day. [b]Armament/Equipment |[/b] His vehicle is not equipped with ICON. [Temperament & Lifestyle] [b]Affiliation |[/b] Independent [b]Alignment |[/b] Bystander (True Neutral) [b]Personality/Habits |[/b] Michael is the type of guy who feels like he has been given the wrong life in a way. Michael never wanted powers, and damn sure never wanted to have the powers he wound up developing. If it were in his power, he would just live alone on an island where he could play videogames and watch movies for the rest of his life. Despite this shallow dream and his outlook on things, Michael does appreciate and take advantage of the pros of his life. The cons… he tries to avoid and not create any more of those. He does this by minding his business when other people’s problems come up and avoiding confrontation whenever he could. Michael will always attempt to bullshit his way out of a bad situation, even if he feels like his SPEECH skill is nowhere near high enough. Michael does not do this because he’s afraid of confrontation, but because it usually just causes more problems. He is more likely to go out of his way to do good than bad, and it most of the time it just takes someone giving him a stern look or being a bit pushy. It only works because he naturally wants to avoid confrontation. He can often be seen speaking intensely to cockroaches as if they are annoying henchmen that needed direction for everything. As comfortable as he may appear while using his powers, Michael is always disgusted with the things he is capable of. [b]Occupation/Trade |[/b] Private Driver, but also picks up odd jobs from time to time. [b]Skills/Talents |[/b] Michael is great at playing an act and building rapport with others in order to benefit himself. Those who know his true nature after spending a considerable amount of time with him, rarely fall for this. [b]Family |[/b] Michael does not have any prominent family members, but his mother and father own and run a convenience store in Ville Rouge. Michael visits from time to time, and they are not completely informed of his special abilities. [b]Background |[/b] Michael was born and raised in New Haven but resided in the Shanty during most of his childhood. His parents owned a convenience store in Ville Rouge, allowing for a steady flow of income, but not enough to live in the better parts of the city. Michael was never the largest or more aggressive kid on the block, in fact he was far from it with his lanky appearance and squeaky voice as a child. This somewhat forced him into being more a smooth talker and joker. It helped in most situations, but he got his into his fair share of scuffles. Growing up, Michael was aware of people with powers, and tried to steer clear of them. He honestly assumed he would never be one of them, especially after clearing to the age of 15 without any hint of some sort of weird mutation. No N.O.V.A., no powers, no problem. No N.O.V.A., no powers, no problem. No N.O.V.A., no powers, no problem. Then… “FUCK!” Now, at first things were cool. Sure, he did not want to ever have powers, but a six pack was a good enough trade. He was basically an athlete that did not have to do any work to be an athlete. The perks without the work he thought. Too bad, life failed to stop his powers right there. He had told his parents about his powers as soon as he physically changed, but immediately hid every bit of the rest of his power from them. How do you fess up to being able to speak to roaches?! It was disgusting, vile, and just plain ol’ fucked up. Michael immediately went to N.O.V.A. to ask if they had a cure, and that is exactly how he put himself on the watchlist. Plus, there was no cure. Michael behaved most of the time, so he believes the agency will never bother him. Michael is currently a private driver for those who either do not trust the lifeless automations of ICON or sketchy folks that do not trust the advanced automations of ICON. He initially applied to be the driver for a single client, until he branched out. Michael has become rather close to one of his clients as of late. Camilla Burke is her name, and she has been making suggestions for Michael to do and be more. [N.O.V.A.

Making physical contact with her target while using this ability greatly strengthens its effects, vice versa, the farther the target, the less effective her power will be. [Gear] [b]Attire |[/b] Primarily dresses business professional [b]Armament/Equipment |[/b] On Person: Conceal carried 9mm pistol, usually carried in her purse, and tazer. Safehouse: Sedatives, handcuffs, AR-15, three thermite grenades. [Temperament & Lifestyle] [b]Affiliation |[/b] Coalition Zero [b]Alignment |[/b] Peacekeeper (Lawful Moral) [b]Personality/Habits |[/b] Camilla if anything, is driven. She seeks to see the society and the world she lives in improve. Camilla puts on a tough and serious face most of the time, but she doesn’t mind casual conversation. The right joke can break this demeanor and the best of intentions can make her reveal her honest motivations. Camilla sometimes finds herself just handing out advice to others in response to the emotions they may be displaying. Camilla does not shy away from her ability and uses it quite frequently to manipulate others. Be it friend or foe, she will sway people in the direction that she views is for the better in support of Coalition Zero’s mission. Though she mostly dresses like should be at a conference, Camilla speaks with a bit of military jargon and has a hardier attitude when she becomes comfortable during conversation. [b]Occupation/Trade |[/b] Full-time Coalition Zero Cipher, under the guise of Human Resources representative working in Midtown. [b]Skills/Talents |[/b] Six years of military combat arms experience. Shows to have a high level of physical fitness. [b]Family |[/b] Camilla’s parents reside in Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania. Her father, Thomas Burke, is a retired Air Force Colonel, while her mother, Allison Burke, is a caretaker for the elderly. She has a younger sister currently attending Penn State. [b]Background |[/b] Camilla was a military brat, due to her father’s service in the United States Air Force. She’s seen many parts of the world, but never had any long-term friendships as a price for moving around so often. Camilla always had the feeling she would enter the military service, but not exactly as her father had. Her first act of rebellion at seventeen, was to ENLIST in the ARMY. Her father nearly had a heart attack, but Camilla had always been the shocker of a child. First it was her and her family realizing that Camilla was a variant at the age of eight. If she knew it wouldn’t send her parents to the hospital, she might have wished to have a power with much more pizazz. When Camilla enlisted, she went all in. She became a Ranger as soon as she could and gained rank until she found herself more so in an office than in the field. At six and a half years, she got out to seek out contracting work, but was intercepted by a sketchy invite to join Coalition Zero. She liked what the group was putting down and accepted. Since then, she’s been working as a cypher, whether that meant information gathering or inciting change where it was needed. Recently, she’s found herself using a private driver named Michael Rowling, to get her where she needs to be. Michael has no clue that he is a driver many Coalition Zero agents use, though he is not the only one in New Haven. She is currently undercover within the city as a Human Resources Representative for Frontier Home Security (FHS) in Midtown. Camilla also works out of a hidden safehouse in the Bayou.
