Name: Jinayah Ifriti
Gender / Preferred Pronouns: Non-binary - they/them
Age: 14
Year and Degree Program: HS Freshman
Nationality: American (half black, half Japanese)
Appearance:
Location and Notes on Star Mark: A black star, 7 pointed, hidden just behind their right ear.
Star power:

Jin’s ability is to control and “speak” to electronics. So far, they have only been able to use it to shut down video cameras and computers and the occasional ATM, but their power basically extends to anything with a microchip. As long as it has a power source and can turn on, Jin will be able to mess with it. To Jin, each device has it’s own voice and personality, and it’s unclear if this is real, or Jin’s mental interpretation of what their power does.

On the most dangerous side, Jin is probably going to be fully capable of launching nuclear missiles without any codes or keys.

Personality: Jin is cold shouldered and abrasive, after years of living on their own and having to fend for themselves. They will not make friends easily, and is honestly waiting for the dream-bubble to burst and the school to dump them back on the street.

Biography: Jin was born to a father who hid his star ability (precognition), and a normal mother. Jin’s father Richard, a beat cop in Chicago, successfully hid his power for the most part, despite using it almost daily. Everyone thought he just had good police instinct – able to tell a bad situation before it happened, catching criminals as if he knew where they were going to run, things like that. It wasn’t until baby Jinayah was born with a star of their own that the news came out and turned their lives upside down.

When Jin was about 10 years old, they experienced a home invasion by a crazed gunman who was convinced Stars needed to die lest they take over the planet. Both Jin’s parents were shot by this man. Jin managed to escape, but was so terrified and traumatized that they took to the streets of Chicago and was lost to the usual star scrutiny for nearly 5 years. Jin turned up trying to rob an ATM, and was swiftly arrested. However, instead of going to prison, the authorities announced that Jin was going to Nova Infinitum.

Notable Rumors: Jin killed a man. (False.)
Jin has a criminal record and has been arrested more than once. (True – unless the school has the power to expunge that?)

Trivia: The engineering professor might take Jin under his wing, so to speak, because they have a ton of potential. Despite not having cracked a book in years, Jin’s grasp of high-level mathematical concepts rivals some of the university students.

Jin loves to tinker with things, and will fix computers and phones for money.

Other: Jin has undiagnosed dyslexia, and detests reading. Jin has also been out of school since elementary, and has some large knowledge gaps.

Name:Roman Duran
Gender / Preferred Pronouns:Male, he/him
Age: 18
Year and Degree Program: Freshman in university, undecided on degree program
Nationality: American with Egyptian ancestry
Appearance:

Roman stands at a tall 6'4", with a trimmed build. Strong jawline, olive colored skin, dark hair and often an stoic expression. That is not to say he doesn't like to have fun. His normal expression is just more...stoic. While clothed, he does not have tattoos or excessively visible scars.

Location and Notes on Star Mark:A medium sized eight point star, located at the back of his right hand. Pale white in overall color with a thin yellow dot in the middle.

Star Power:Gravitational manipulation. He can either reduce or increase the impact of gravity on things smaller than the size of his palm. When trying to manipulate the impact of gravity on organic matter, like other humans, his control is very spotty and the increase or decrease can fluctuate wildly.

Personality:Generally outgoing, mostly upbeat. Fiercely loyal to those he considers his friends. Would rather shy away from action but will not hesitate to act if he sees harm coming his friend's way.

Biography: Roman is your run of the mill college student. More worried about living his best life than getting good grades. Despite his stoic expression, he enjoys the company of his fellow students.

Being born to a lineage that may or may not be traced back to antiquity has shone a light on his personal life that he doesn't often enjoy. Though the money and toys that it comes with are nice from time to time.

His star manifested itself from birth. However, it wasn't until he was thirteen that his actual powers emerged.

He was just in the yard, playing and running around as thirteen year old boys do. The next thing he knows the ball he just threw is floating upwards, not its regularly planned trajectory. He panicked, of course. Scrambling around slightly, he tried jumping and reaching for the ball. To no avail. After a few more failed swipes, the ball came flying down, much faster than expected. The ball left a mark in the ground like a stud in mud. Roman then ran in the house, acting as if nothing happened.

Of course, his mother saw this. Knowing exactly what happened and what is going to continue happening, his parents used their connections to get Roman admitted to NI and hoped that they can help him learn, hone, and control his powers.

Notable Rumors: It is rumored that he hails from a long line of kings and pharaohs in antiquity. But, who really knows anymore?
Trivia: He is a huge video game enthusiast.
Other: Anything else?
