Limited by presence of foreign objects, degree of injury and whether injury is reasonably sustainable with life. Maintaining Aria’s status of Unknown leaves her rarely able to push the limits of the ability outside of what she sees within the Coalition, despite the ample opportunities within her profession. [u]Variant Psychometry (Class Four)[/u] - Upon an instance of physical touch, Aria is capable of determining whether or not the subject of this interaction is also a Variant. The specifics of their abilities and even their class remain entirely unknown to her, but she claims to have a gut feeling that has yet to be proven incorrect. At least as far as she knows.

This paired with her tendency to mix into the background and keep herself unnoticed has often left her struggling for social connections. Much of her communication with her co-workers comes in the form of quick wit and inappropriate humor, a coping mechanism of sorts. Coming from the line of work that she does, Aria is rarely knocked off kilter and is very quick to recover when this does occur. Her aptness to act on instinct may even warrant her being called impulsive. There is an underlying warmth to the young woman that quickly rises to the surface upon the establishment of trust and connection, no matter how minuet. Her patients and fellow ciphers would advocate for the motherly nature that she holds, as she seems almost desperate to please those around her, whether this be by physically caring for them or by simply offering an ear to listen. She will consistently be one of the first to donate time and resources to whatever cause she feels passionate about, though this often leaves her stretched thin and even cynical.[/color] [center] [b][i]Occupation/Trade[/i][/b] [color=7bcdc8]New Haven Emergency Medical Technician - Paramedic [/color] [b][i]Skills/Talents[/i][/b] [color=7bcdc8]Medical knowledge and application | Can say the alphabet backwards [/color] [b][i]Family[/i][/b] [color=7bcdc8]Julien Chastain (Deceased) - Father Margot Chastain (Absent) - Mother Elaina and Josephine Chastain - Sisters Elijah (Deceased) and Nicolas Chastain - Brothers[/color] [b][i]Background[/i][/b] [/center][color=7bcdc8]Over time, the Chastain blood line has unfortunately deeply rooted itself within the walls of The Shanty. Generation after generation seem to find themselves stuck there, whether catalyzed by poor decisions or fate. The area sits neglected as its residents find themselves serving the other districts within New Haven, each desperately clawing at crumbling brick as they reach towards a better life for themselves. Julien Chastain, a single father of four, spent every waking moment digging his heels in and striving for an out. Matters only grew more complicated when his four-year-old daughter jumped right back into a soccer game moments after relocating her own shoulder. Thankfully, a friend and neighbor witnessed the incident and began integrating the family as a whole into his Coalition cell, offering a certain level of protection to the young girl. Together, they would stifle what they could of her ability and keep her status unknown for as long as possible. Only a few months later, during a heated discussion with his father, Aria’s eldest brother began to show signs of his own telekinetic ability through a violent display that left a majority of the home’s windows shattered. Emotions played a large part in the teen boy’s capabilities and it would ultimately be due to this that he would end his own life two years later. Aria’s knack for Variant identification through psychometry was first discovered when the young girl placed a hand on her deceased brother’s cheek at his funeral and explained that touching him didn't cause her stomach to turn anymore. No other Chastain child showed signs of a variation, but the death of their sibling did cause the entire family to immerse itself within the Zero Coalition. Teenhood was fairly easy for Aria, as she was homeschooled and never endured many of the social trials that are expected with that age. She did, however, settle deeply into an adolescent rebellion that left her bitter with her circumstances and struggling to find her identity. She lived each day stripped of a part of herself and stared down by ICON. In an effort to lessen the anxiety of slipping up and allowing her ability to be seen, she joined a profession that seemed to fit her need for purpose in a way that maintained her unknown truth. Aria has been a New Haven Paramedic for two years, carefully utilizing her ability only during the most morally conflicting circumstances. These often involve children. Her skills are used most frequently within the Coalition where she sees Variants that are too afraid to visit a N.O.V.A physician, those who have been injured during an interaction with MADmen, or situations that require emergent medical aid. She currently runs her operation out her own home in The Shanty, only blocks from the one she grew up in, in an effort to protect her remaining family that still serve as ciphers themselves.
