[hider=071605] [b]Name:[/b] Brayden 071605 [b]Appearance:[/b] Brayden stands at 5'10, being slightly lanky, but not completely devoid of muscle. He has short, spiked charcoal-black hair, with most of its spikiness concentrated near the back of his head. His skin is mostly of a pale complexion, though it gets darker along his arms, almost as if they were burnt. His eyes are a piercing and cold blue shade, and are partially obscured by his hair at times. For clothes, his most distinguishing piece of apparel is a torn-up, partially singed sleeveless black jacket, worn after years of living in the compound. Beyond that, he wears a white muscle shirt, deep blue jeans that are torn up and partially seared near his ankles, and thick black boots that seem a bit too big for him. Outside of testing, he is forced to wear a stainless steel mask over his mouth, a contraption of the same material made to keep his arms locked up, reaching just below his elbows, and heavy steel boots. He was forced to wear these due to 'negative behavior', putting it lightly, to ensure he doesn't endanger staff or guards. [b]Personality:[/b] Brayden is a rather chaotic force among the children of the 'menagerie', as he tends to call the lab they rather sadly call home. Ever since his powers emerged, he opposed the hierarchy presented through the doctors and guards, rather violently in fact, and needless to say it never ended well for him. If it weren't for the impressive potential of his abilities, he likely wouldn't have been tolerated for this long. Beyond his attitude about the situation at large, in contrast to his power, Brayden seems largely cool and collected, perhaps even apathetic. He always regards the other kids the exact same; completely neutral to their existence, border-lining callousness with his attitude. However, most of the other kids know he isn't a direct threat to them, as he typically keeps others out of his attempts of revolt or escape. Whether that's out of kindness or simply not wishing to deal with others, it's hard to say... [i][b]Abilities:[/b][/i] [b]Flame Generation:[/b] Brayden can generate excessive amounts of fire from himself, though they typically come from his mouth, hands, or feet. The flames can reach levels of heat that can melt through solid concrete and most metals, and even in more casual use can severely burn or melt through other living beings. However strong his power is though, it comes with a catch... (25 Pts) [b]Fire/Heat Resistance:[/b] Brayden has some natural resilience to fire and heat, but the main issue is that it isn't enough for him to manage his own firepower. When he's using his power at high-capacity, he himself begins to burn up, and while he's never been forced this far, excessive use of his power at high-capacity could permanently burn or melt parts of his body. (5 Pts) [b]Doctor:[/b] Dr. Sing [/hider] [hider=010208] [b]Name:[/b] Melia 010208 [b]Appearance:[/b] Melia, after years of use of her ability, is...Notably bigger than most other subjects. Standing at a menacing 6'2 even prior to activating her power, and extraordinarily muscled, she could put even some of the toughest kids in the compound to shame. Her eyes are sharp with a vibrant orange shade, typically swirling in a toxic mixture of madness and adrenaline after she gets riled up (which doesn't take much). She also has long blonde hair reaching to her midriff, though it is messy and unstyled, giving her a feral look. Her skin tone is white, though not too pale. While it seems to have no bearing on her power, her teeth are all razor-sharp, giving one the sense that she's some kind of predator through a smile alone. Speaking physically, her body is impressive, packing musculature even professional athletes would be jealous of. This is without her power, which would blow her inspiring physique to even higher heights, nearly increasing her height by a whole foot and swelling her already terrifying muscles. Clothing-wise, she keeps it simple, since she tends to need new clothes every time she uses her ability. Thus, Melia simply wears a black tank-top and grey sweatpants, and while she normally avoids footwear, if she is wearing something there, it's typically some type of heavy-duty military boots. [b]Personality:[/b] For as long as Melia has lived here, all she has known is violence and combat...And she thrives off of it. She lives for every fight, and she only lives to fight. For her, the greatest joy she can experience is being able to dominate and destroy others through her own power, and it is this ideology that has made her needlessly ruthless...And undeniably powerful. While she is mostly known for this wild, battle-crazed persona, there is a bit more to her. Melia has a...Vague sense of honor. She never wastes time with those unwilling to fight, and if someone she's beating to a bloody pulp fighting seems ready to give up, she'll stop too. In essence, she's not going to attack or fight others who aren't willing to fight back tooth and nail just like she would (beyond orders, of course, but being ordered against this creed of hers is highly irritating for her, and could easily result in...Backlash, we'll call it). When not in a fighting mood (which is incredibly rare), or she actually manages to get her 'fix' of fighting as it were, Melia can be much more calm and collected than others would expect. When not using her free time exerting her ability or exercising, she's usually found reading or meditating, both being unexpected activities for her to have interest in. Still, she almost always comes off as stand-offish, and most aren't willing to try and interact with her due to her explosive temper that can crop up. [i][b]Abilities:[/b][/i] [b]Muscle Augmentation (30 Pts.)[/b] - Melia is able to engorge her muscles for fairly long periods of time, around five to ten minutes if used in short bursts, or it can last for up to four hours continuously. During this time, her musculature will surge alongside her size, greatly enhancing speed and strength, as well as superficially enhancing her durability (weapons and the like will easily pierce through her skin, but usually struggle to bypass her enlarged and strengthened musculature). This ability is sometimes so strong it even causes her muscles to burst out from her body. While that process is painful, Melia is rather familiar with it, and by doing this, the overall power of her ability can continue to skyrocket without issues as her muscles grow even larger and more powerful once freed from her confining body. The user can recover from this ordeal rather fast (at least by normal human standards), but it typically takes at least a few days. Otherwise, the only other limiting factor of this ability is that extended usage over a long period of time can cause extreme muscle fatigue, leaving its user much weaker than they'd naturally be for a day or so. A byproduct of this ability is that after every use, the natural musculature of its user is always a bit stronger than it was before, meaning even without it properly activated, the user typically performs at either peak human or low-superhuman standards for physicality. Doctor: Dr. Schroder. Corruption: Originally one of the biggest thorns in the side of the Doctors due to her uncontrollable and destructive nature, they soon found out a simple answer; by making her a Trainee, it granted her the opportunity to 'stretch her legs', as it were, against other powered kids who caused trouble. Now, while she's still just as much of a wild card, that same unkempt power is now being used by the facility to subjugate the other children. She is well-known for being one of, if not the most violent and brutish of the Trainees, so having her show up is bad news. Weapons: N/A, lets her fists do the work. [/hider]
