Ben is not an individual of incredibly impressive stature. On the contrary, one could describe him as “dainty” in a way. Of slim, slightly muscular frame, Ben is shorter than average with an overall small, lean, and subtly sinewy, having a highly-developed muscular tone but far from being burly. Ben has warm ivory skin that, except for a couple of lasting scrapes on his elbows, has few noticeable scars. Ben has dirty blonde hair that he typically parts down the center. He has dark green eyes that can seem brown to the unobservant.

Ben is, by nature, a friendly person. He’s easily approachable and quite amicable, and is always more than happy to meet somebody new and strike up a conversation. Loyal and playful, Ben enjoys being in a group more than being alone and would be considered an extrovert, but at the same time, he is not opposed to periods of alone time as well. Ben is an open-minded person, more than willing to make company with people from different walks of life, and while Ben is (like most teenagers) prone to falling in line with social expectations, he's always been a person that tries his best to put the welfare of his friends and family first. Ben is a very dependable person, as both a friend and a classmate. He keeps himself well-organized and is very conscientious, having a natural dislike of any form of disarray in general. He values a good plan and adherence to rules, and dislikes being viewed as a "rowdy" or "troublesome" person, though he will skirt the lines at times if absolutely necessary.

Ben, while being an undeniably affable person and good pal, does not have a great sense of humor, especially about himself. He can get easily annoyed when being the target of both affectionate teasing or malicious bullying, and has a poor temperament when it comes to dealing with ridicule, regardless of intent. In some ways, Ben's sensitivity can be rather adorable at times, but Ben's top is very quick to blow, and his irritable nature can be quickly triggered by snarky comments, either directed at himself or others. Another thing that can easily get on Ben's nerves is loss- Ben is a very competitive individual, always striving to win, and he tends to be a sore loser. While he will always work hard to earn a victory, he is easily aggravated at loss and can lash out when confronted with past defeats. In many ways, Ben is sore about his weaknesses- he dislikes on principle when his failures are brought up even tangentially, especially in a manner that can seem mocking or derisive. Ben likes to project himself as having high self-esteem, but in truth, he is very insecure about his poor performances and shortcomings, even the ones that he had no control over, like his physical attributes.

Ben has a classic Type A personality: he is a hard worker that dislikes ambivalence, delays, and disappointment. He is a dependably hard worker that one can always trust to have completed his assignments, and is highly ambitious, always seeking to further himself in a shape or form. He likes to have a complete timetable at all times and dislikes wasting too much spare time. He is not so rigidly driven to be a spoilsport, and is more than happy to show up at a party or hang out, but he doesn't like to waste too much time on the frivolous. Ben is also rather impatient, something unusual for a sniper, and can get easily frustrated when things don't happen in a timely fashion. Ben's frustration has several clear ticks (angry foot-tapping, furrowed brows) and can easily spill into his short-tempered behavior. Ben also tends to be proactive, and is very hyperalert: he's always watching for things to happen in his periphery, and as such has excellent observational skills and stunning reaction time.

Ben does have high standards and a great deal of confidence in himself, but he doesn't normally reflect those standards onto others. Much of his ambition is driven by his own expectations, and he doesn't tend to force others onto his level. (He does get annoyed when others don't try to do their role in a project, but who can blame him?) At the same time, Ben also doesn't come off as too vain or conceited. Confident, for sure, but Ben is not self-centered. He'll give into some gloating and trash talk after a victory (he really can't help himself), but overall he's somewhat reasonable with his own ego. He rarely brings up his own personal achievements in conversation, unless asked about them.

Ben is, despite many shortcomings, a good friend. Though he does have a short-fuse and can occasionally be rather testy, perhaps his strongest sentiment is his sense of fealty. If you have a secret that you need to get off your chest, or something embarrassing that you need help fixing, or just somebody to hang out with on a nice Saturday afternoon, Ben is a great person to go to. He can be annoying, but he also can be a very tender, genial friend that will take your secrets to the grave with him. He can be a pain to deal with, especially when he's behind schedule or losing, but he's a great person in general, one that won't criticize you for who you are or deride you for what you've done. He's a person that likes to fix things, and he's always willing to lend a hand to help somebody fix a problem or clear up a pressing issue. His sense of allegiance is second-to-none, and he's one of the most dependable people around.

Just don't call him "shorty" if you don't have a deathwish.

L I K E S

• Guns! Ben likes guns. Scratch that, he loves guns. He might just get married to a machine gun one day. Ben likes all varieties of firearms and can't help but be drawn to a weapon if presented with one. He drags his parents to gun shows whenever possible. In essence, he's basically a living, walking, United States of America.
• Sports: Ben also likes playing sports a lot. He's drawn to their competitive nature, and always goes as hard as he can to win. Ben is a phenomenal skeet shooter and very talented archer, but can play a myriad of sports quite well.
• First-Person Shooters: Thanks to having excellent hand-eye coordination, Ben is very good at first-person shooter games. Step to him in Call of Duty only if you want to get stomped.
• Timetables, Schedules and Plans: Ben likes to have things charted out ahead of time, and loves to craft a good game plan, whether that be before a football player or a high-stakes operation.
• Ramen: I mean, it's Ramen. Pretty self-explanatory.
• Ducks: Ben has always liked ducks. Something about them is just very appealing to him.
• Reality TV Shows: Guilty pleasure that nobody will ever, ever find out about.

D I S L I K E S

• Changes of Plan: Plans were made for a reason, damnit! And that reason was not to be changed! Ben has some subpar spur-of-the-moment thinking.
• Fast Food: Ben cannot stand fast food of any kind. Far too greasy and unhealthy.
• Defeat: I would wager that most people don't enjoy defeat, but Ben is a very sore loser that takes defeat way too seriously.

G O A L S

• The Olympics! Ben is an ambitious soul, and what better goal is there to be an Olympian? Ben is dedicated to continue pursuing his athletic career in college and hopefully make it to the Olympic stage.
• Get Taller: His growth spurt ended already, but who's to say that he can't crank out an extra couple of inches?

F E A R S

• His Failures: As cliche as it is, Ben has had difficulty in the past accepting his weaknesses and failures. It's something that he finds difficult to embrace and tries to avoid at all costs.
• Getting Shot: Perhaps ironic for an individual whose sole role is, well, shooting, but Ben has a distinct fear of being shot while in combat. Perhaps it's his experience with firearms, and his knowledge of precisely how dangerous they are, that propels this fear. Of course, just about everybody has a fear of being shot, but this notion particularly bothers Ben.

Ben hasn't exactly been on the dating scene that much, so for now, it remains a mystery. (gay)


B R I E F B I O
Benjamin James McBride was born in the state of Mississippi. He was the child of Frank McBride, a forensic scientist and ballistics analyst of high repute, and Annie Brockford-McBride, a professor at Ol' Miss in Oxford, Mississippi, that taught physical education. Benjamin was the oldest child in the family, having a younger brother, Jesse, and a younger sister, Annabeth. Ben's first few years were relatively normal, but when Ben was 7, something would happen that would shock the entire family. Frank McBride, being a gun expert, was an avid gun owner and kept a number of weapons locked up safely in the house, but he never did the same for his Bebe gun, which was much less dangerous than an actual firearm. When Ben once tried to snag the weapon, Frank realized that leaving the gun out in the open was a terrible idea, and locked it in the shed. That Christmas Eve, Ben took the Bebe gun from the shed (in hindsight, using a standard lock was not the world's greatest security measure) and waddled across the yard, towards the Christmas tree. The McBrides owned a large acreage of land that included a plenty of space for a large Christmas tree, covered in a number of shiny ornaments. In a moment of childish stupidity, Ben aimed it at the tree, and, to the shock and utter amazement of his nearby parents, shot every single ornament off without missing a single beat. It truly was a Christmas miracle.

The McBrides quickly realized that their son had gifts, and so they quickly ushered him into a career in professional shooting. As it so happens, professional shooting isn't exactly a career of great interest, but there were still a number of activities that Ben was ushered into, and he did so gleefully. Whatever the cause might be, Ben was a natural aim, and with little training, he started winning local tournaments in all disciplines of clay pigeon shooting- skeet, trap, and sporting clays. He was a prodigy. He even appeared in a couple of magazines. He eradicated (metaphorically) the child competition and progressed to the adult league, where he continued to have remarkable success for a child. At the age of 14, he was the youngest person ever invited to the US Shooting National Championship. If he won, he would inherit the title of the youngest skeet-shooting champion. One week before he left to compete, Ben got into a fight with a bully at school, and in the confrontation, Ben was roughly thrown into the concrete. He fractured his hand to brace himself from the fall, and he was forced to withdraw.

His ambitions sidelined, Ben was inconsolable. His chance of being a record-breaker curbed, he was angry at himself for his own stupidity, even though what had occurred wasn't really his fault. Soon after, Annie would receive a post to teach at Texas Southern University for a higher paycheck, and so the family moved to Swindon. On his second day at his new school, Ben was called spontaneously into the principal's office. As he walked through the empty hallway, a figure grabbed him, and before he knew it, he was out cold.

He woke up in a strange sterile room, sitting in a chair facing a strange, very Russian, lady. He was informed about some sort of secret spy organization working in the school that routinely saved the world, and that they wanted him to be a member. Ben thought it was a fever dream. But strangely, sitting there, it felt good to be given a purpose outside of just achieving to achieve. And so, very, very reluctantly, Ben said yes. He figured that if it was real, that he would attain some sort of unique opportunity, or pass whatever type of test was set up here, and that if it was fake, the dream would end soon.

The dream didn't end, though. Since then, Ben has been a valuable member of Prom, using his superb natural talent in firearms to help advance the team's interests. It's been a nightmare juggling all that throughout high school, but Ben has been more than happy to lend his services to Prom and end the very real, very dangerous nightmares that others have every day, and help make the world a better place. It's a bit idealistic, true, but it is rather cool.


T A L E N T S

• Firearms Mastery: As has been stated prior countless times, Ben is extremely gifted with the use of firearms. Handguns, rifles, shotguns, snipers, anything that can be aimed, will be aimed, with a great deal of precision as well. Ben has an in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of guns as well, able to disassemble, reassemble, and repair firearms with relative ease, especially those that he is familiar with.
• CQC Proficiency: As a member of Prom, Ben has been trained in martial arts, and does pack a mean right hook. That being said, while he can defend himself in close quarters, he would much prefer not to if given the choice.
• WIP

G A D G E T S

• Firearms of Choice: Anything that has a trigger works in Ben's books, but when given the choice, he prefers the Remington CSR or the Barrett M82 models for long-range engagements, and a UTAS UTS-15 or Bushmaster ACR 3 for close quarters.
• The Totally Normal Briefcase: When in a situation where guns cannot be carried around willy-nilly (unfortunately, that encompasses many situations), Ben prefers to take what appears to be a matte-black briefcase full of normal papers. However, well-hidden underneath the felt are the components of a constructable sniper rifle and a handgun. Of course, this won't fool any competent security guards, but thankfully, not too many places have competent security guards.
• Tranquilizer Rifle: When indiscriminate murder is not the go-to, Ben chooses his custom-built Prom Tranquilizer Rifle, which fires piercing darts full of fast-acting tranquilizers. The aiming is a little temperamental, considering that darts travel very differently than bullets do, but it works great for neutralizing targets without needing lethal force. Also, it's funny to send an 8-foot tall henchman to sleep from 600 meters with a little dart.
• Pen Blasters: Ben carries with him a case full of what appears to be your average ballpoint click pens. In fact, they are not pens at all. Pressing the button ignites the gunpowder inside the fake pen, firing a single bullet and releasing a lot of smoke. Useful in a pinch.
• Cell Blockers: Appearing for all the world as a TI-84 calculator, the gadget is actually a very high-tech device that can block most signals within a large radius for roughly 10 minutes. Because the earpieces for Prom use a special wavelength, they remain intact, but any cell phone calls and radio communication in the nearby area are blocked, along with social media usage. Ben uses this gadget to wipe out enemy communication and to mess with people that can't get their noses out of their smartphones.

O T H E R

• His birthday is January 16th. He is a Capricorn.
• His codename is derived from the kingfisher, a bird that swoops down and plucks fish from the water.
• Since joining Prom, he has never missed a target during a mission.
• Ben loves birds a lot. He owns a pet duck named Dewey.
• Ben is a runningback on the MFHS Colts Varsity Football Team. He is not very good at all, but then again, nobody on the team is.
• Color- Sea Green #2E8B57

S T R E N G T H: B-
^{Ben is stronger than the average fellow, but he is still not particularly impressive in raw strength, in part due to his size. He relies more on his nimbleness and reaction time than brute strength, which is quite impressive.}

I N T E L L I G E N C E: B+
^{Ben isn't exceptionally bright, but he works hard and has definitely achieved above-average success in his classes. He has a particular strength in mathematics, such as geometry, but has his struggles in foreign languages. Spanish, be damned.}

C L O S E Q U A R T E R S C O M B A T: B-
^{Another field that Ben is more capable than your average smuck is, but is still not extremely well-versed in hand-to-hand combat. He'd prefer to pistol-whip somebody than to kung-fu them, to defeat, or even better, just shoot them. Still, if push comes to shove, he can fight with his fists capably.}

F I R E A R M S: A+
^{For a high-school student, Ben has an uncanny ability to hit moving targets with firearms. Ridiculous hand-eye coordination, a vast knowledge and understanding of guns and their mechanics, and tons of practice have made him a firearm wielder of great skill. It doesn't mean that he's superhuman, of course, but he can still work wonders with a bullet and a trigger.}

C O N C E A L M E N T / D I S G U I S E: B
^{Average. Capable of putting on a persona without difficulty, but often has had trouble maintaining it without breaking character in the past. Much prefer behind-the-scenes work than having to pull out a whole performance, but he can get the job done in a pinch.}

S T R A T E G I C T H I N K I N G / L E A D E R S H I P: A-
^{Gifted. Loves to have strategies planned ahead of time, and excels at planning and leading a mission with a defined strategy in-place.}

M E N T A L A G I L I T Y/I N T U I T I O N: C
^{Struggles with rapid changes of plans. Ben grows visibly frustrated and anxious when a plan is derailed from its original course and often struggles to think on his feet.}

H A C K I N G: D+
^{Minimally competent with computers. Does not understand programming, and their best advice with computer problems is to turn it on and off.}

O B S E R V A T I O N / I N T E R R O G A T I O N: B+
^{Great observation skills paired with aggressive interrogation makes for a fine questioner. Can get the tendency to get extremely frustrated at times, but overall competent.}

L I N G U I S T I C S: C
^{He tries very hard, but he just can't get foreign languages down. He's minimally capable of speaking German, having taken it in high school, but that's just about it.}

T E A M W O R K / C O O P E R A T I O N: A-
^{Overall a very capable team player that likes to stick to the plan.}

"He's chill! He comes off as a little frosty but he's been warming up a lot. Plus, he's great to compete against. I've never seen anybody shoot like him. Except me. Duh."
Ben and Erik have a lot of similar interests. Most obviously, they're both exceedingly gifted with firearms (something Ben was positively delighted to learn). Ben also finds the fact that he's German quite fascinating, having taken German himself as his foreign language of choice, and also finds his chess talents highly intriguing as well (not like Ben could ever hope to challenge him and win). Though Erik can be scary sometimes, especially during interrogations, Ben gets along with him well. Most importantly, he's not a meanie like a lot of the others, which instantly puts him very high up in Ben's rankings.

"When I first joined, she was really annoying. Now...still annoying. But she's also kind of sweet, in a way. Sometimes. She had better not have hacked my phone, though! I have private stuff on there!"
At the beginning of his first year, Ben did not like Emily in the slightest. He found her very annoying and thought the teasing was way overboard (and entirely uncalled for). By now, however, Ben has warmed up to her significantly. Though annoying, she was strangely endearing with her constant hugging and bubbliness. That being said, Ben would never, ever say that to her.

"She's nice! And very smart. We've gotten along pretty well, though I get the sense that she's not fully comfortable with guns. Still, I think we make a good team, and she's fascinating to talk to, when she wants to talk. Best part is, though- she's tiny! I'm no longer the team smurf! Woohoo!"
Ben likes Carmen quite a lot. He thinks she's really interesting and quirky and cool, and appreciates that she's not as annoying as some of his fellow operatives. Kindness is king, after all. Furthermore, Ben believes (very naively, I might add) that because of Carmen's recruitment into Prom, he is no longer the team baby. He certainly doesn't treat her like the others once treated him, though, holding her with a great deal of respect. Whether or not that means anything beyond a budding friendship is unknown.

"How is she not in jail? I think our justice system has problems. She can be very abrasive at times. Way too much so. Still, she's a good asset for the team when the mission doesn't call for stealth, and she's not a bad person. She's just a lunatic."
Ben and Binx could probably not be more different in many respects. Much like with Emily, Ben found Binx to be rather vexing when they first met, but his opinion has since softened significantly. There's still conflict, of course, but no bad blood. Also, Binx does not like ducks for some reason, which is a point of contention. I mean, who doesn't like ducks?! Ducks are awesome!

"He's cool. Not super extroverted, but not a shut-in either. He's a good guy to talk to. We get along. I think we synergize best when we're on missions, though."
Ben enjoys talking to Olly outside of missions, finding him to be rather pleasant to speak with, but they work together best on missions. Plan-based, strategic infiltrations are their specialty, and they make the magic happen.

𝙷 𝙾 𝙽 𝙴 𝚈 "𝙷 𝙴 𝙼 𝙻 𝙾 𝙲 𝙺" 𝙴 𝙼 𝙴 𝚁 𝚂 𝙾 𝙽: "𝙲𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚒𝚊𝚕"
"No comment."
Unlike with Erik, whom Ben is normally comfortable talking and pal-ing around with, Honey puts Ben on edge. A lot. Something about him is very off-putting for Ben. As such, while Ben recognizes Honey's usefulness and expertise on team missions and makes use of his abilities during an operation (poison darts from a range are pog), Ben tries to avoid Honey when they're not away, and remains as cordial as possible when they do end up communicating.

𝙰 𝙳 𝙰 𝙼 "𝙰 𝚂 𝚃 𝙴 𝚁" 𝚂 𝙷 𝙰 𝚆: "𝚄𝚗𝚏𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛"
"I've seen him around."
Ben has not gotten along too well with the other newbie as of yet. He doesn't really seem to be open to conversation, and when he has been, he hasn't been particularly...kind, to say the least. Still, Ben is open-minded enough to give the new person a chance.

Carmen could perhaps best be described as petite. She's smaller than the average girl her age, and is more often than not the smallest person in the room. However, just because she's small doesn't mean she doesn't have any muscle or any curves on her. In fact, Carmen is slightly curvy, although she's still filling out. She's not particularly buff, but she's certainly more lean and toned than the average teenage girl her age. Carmen's skin is a light, tawny brown. She has a few scattered pimples on her face, but it's far from acne. Her hair is a deep brown, almost black color. It has thick, bouncy curls. Even though her hair would be long if straightened, Carmen's hair goes just a bit past her shoulders. She could put it into a ponytail if she wanted, but if she's not exercising she prefers to have it down. Her doe-like eyes are a deep, ochre brown, and are framed by long eyelashes.

Most people, immediately upon meeting her, would describe Carmen Hernandez as smart. It's certainly an apt evaluation. She is a bright young lady, able to memorize facts and vocabulary and tiny idiosyncrasies with lightning speed and accuracy. She spouts off information like an encyclopedia, and she's quick to complete puzzles. When she tells other people about her subjects of interest, her words are big and her tone confident. She is sure she knows this. She knows she knows this. And, through that, people become confident in her knowledge, too. Carmen prides herself on her intelligence more than anything else. If you asked her and she answered honestly, she'd probably say it was her best trait.

But what underlies this intelligence is a lot of insecurity. Carmen's deepest fear is that she is not good enough. Smart enough, pretty enough, social enough, athletic enough, whatever- that base instinct of hers simply tells her that she whatever she does is not enough. Which is a maddening feeling for a girl who is labelled a genius. So she studies and works at her passions to the point of obsession. She can spend hours upon hours working at something, refusing to stop for rest or even to eat. It's been described as scary by those who have witnessed it, but to Carmen it's just another facet of her personality. It's not necessarily tied to her insecurity- it's just something that she's always done. She slips into a task or a project and loses herself in it, forgets to come up for air. It's one of the reasons she's such an unstoppable force of learning. All this comes with a cost, however. Carmen cannot work forever. She always crashes at some point or another. And her crashes are ugly. She's not a party animal, but she has been known to get horribly depressed and anxious. She manages to conceal them well enough, but her crashes are one of her greatest shames. It's almost as if she can't set sustainable expectations and goals for herself! She also has a tendency to put all her self-worth into one entire thing.

Carmen could also be described as a giant nerd. She loves to read, and watch cartoons, and study her favorite subjects Especially linguistics. She has spent years of her short life learning languages. Although, oddly enough, this hasn't made her any better at actually talking to people. In what is possibly the worst trait ever for a spy, Carmen is socially awkward as hell. She and the instructors have worked hard to train herself out of it, but it still peeks through occasionally. It comes out more as being adorable than anything, but Carmen often makes embarrassing social missteps. She compensates for this by being nice as hell. She's a giant sweetheart, and unabashedly expresses love for her friends. She's a bit too honest, however, and often says things that probably shouldn't've been said. Due to all this and frequent rejection, she's actually quite shy and bashful, and prefers her books and her studying and her turtles to actual people. She doesn't make for the most exciting friend, either. She prefers her books and her studying to doing stuff, and she's probably the last person to suggest anything fun.

L I K E S

• Languages Languages are Carmen's fucking jam. Her two native languages are English and Spanish, but she's fluent in 3 more, conversational in 2, and a novice at 3. She's been obsessed with linguistics since she was a kid, and her obsession shows no sign of stopping. Which is good, because it's what got her into Prom in the first place. She often spends hours reviewing flashcards and talking to herself and trying to find conversation partners.
• Turtles: Carmen has two red-eared slider turtles, who she loves. They're named Shelley and Pakha. Did you know that there are 356 species of turtle? She sure did.
• Coffee: For a 15-year-old, Carmen has a raging coffee addiction. She can be found with a cup of joe in her hand at nearly every hour of the day. ... And sometimes night.
• Grades: The validation that a good grade gives makes Carmen extremely happy. There's nothing more reassuring than an A+ on that report card.
• Learning New Things: Whether it's about cultures, languages, wildlife, or even something completely unimportant, Carmen loves to learn. She seeks out information like a cat seeks out treats- unrelentingly and like she'd die without it.
• Organization: Whether it's color-coding, organizing by theme, or just a lot of neat little boxes, Carmen enjoys a good, organized space. Plus, some really cool colored pens and flashcards.

D I S L I K E S

• The Cold: A Florida girl at heart, Carmen cannot stand any weather below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. She's never even seen snow, for God's sake! This might become a problem.
• Interruptions: When Carmen is in the zone, interrupting her is basically a death wish. This goes double for missions, too- she hates when they're dragged off track.
• Barbecue: How could anyone like tangy, messy, over-flavored, over-cooked meat? Texan food sucks.

G O A L S

• Languages: Carmen wants to be fluent in at least 3 more languages by the time she ends high school. Even with the Neural Sync it's a difficult task, but one she's totally committed to! Thousands of flashcards will probably be sacrificed to this pursuit.
• Study Abroad: Carmen would really like to go to a top-rated university anywhere except the United States- preferably in a place where they don't speak English! And then she'd like to... well, whatever. Work for the CIA? Get a PhD? She's not entirely sure.

F E A R S

• Failure: Carmen's greatest fear is that she'll fail. Fail at learning languages, fail a class, fail a mission, lose a match, whatever. There has always been a niggling belief at the back of her mind that she is simply not good enough. Everyone believes she is a genius, so if she fails it's the end of the world.
• Needles: It's weird and dumb, but Carmen is deathly scared of needles. Every time she has to get a shot she either has to be held down screaming or she passes out.

S E X U A L P R E F E R E N C E
Carmen's never really been interested in dating, but she thinks she's bi? Maybe? She tries not to think about it- her parents would kill her if they found out she was dating. Especially a girl.

Carmen María Hernandez was born in the city of Miami, Florida. Her mother and father were both fairly recent Colombian immigrants at the time, having came to Miami just a few years before she was born. Her father, a civil litigation attorney, was named Juan José Hernandez, and her mother was a preschool teacher named Claudia Hernandez. The couple married in their early 20s and, shortly after having their first child, Andrés, left their home of Bogóta, Colombia because of civil unrest in their home country. The young couple settled in Miami with their infant son and, a few years later, had Carmen. Following Carmen were a surprise set of twins, Emiliano and Nicolas. Only Carmen's father had a good grasp of the English language, so they spoke Spanish at home. Carmen learned Spanish first and English soon after. They're her two native languages, and she grew up speaking both. Carmen was an odd child. Her parents knew the importance of a good education, so they read to her every night and ensured she had a good grasp of language. But they quickly learned that Carmen was progressing at a lightning-fast speed. She said her first word at 8 months of age, started to speak in full sentences by 2, and taught herself to read picture books by 2 and a half. By the time she entered kindergarten, she was already reading chapter books on her own. Her parents were blown away. She must be a genius, they thought. Carmen received constant praise, testing, and more and more challenges.

By the time she was 6, Carmen could read at the college level. She could write better than any other 2nd grader, and was constantly lauded for her achievements. She could best high schoolers in terms of intelligence, even. But she was bored. No amount of instruction or books could satiate her thirst for learning. So she got on the Internet and looked for things to learn.

Her third language, after English and Spanish, was French. She read a book about Paris, and fell in love with the city and with French culture. She was 6 when she started studying French, and Carmen quickly learned that she was fantastic at learning languages. It was fun, and challenging, and there was so much to learn, so she focused all of her energy on that. Her parents were skeptical at first, but supplied her with a lot of the materials she needed. By 7, she was at an intermediate level in the language just through self-study! Her parents were flabbergasted- but wanted to push her even further. If she could do this, what else could she do? They hired her a French tutor, and convinced her to learn a fourth language of her choice. Carmen was more than happy about this choice, and, after a lot of deliberation, chose Mandarin as her fourth. Soon after, her parents took her out of school and decided to homeschool her. A mind like hers couldn't be wasted in a public school!

So Carmen was homeschooled, and pushed harder than ever before. Wanting to get her out of the house, her mother enrolled her in tennis lessons. Carmen wasn't too into tennis, but her mom insisted, so she did it anyways. She was more into languages. And turtles. At 9, Carmen got her first turtle, Shelly, whom she LOVES and TREASURES and adores and that turtle was probably her only friend. At 10, she was fluent in French and approaching fluency in Mandarin, so she took on a fifth language- German. Also at this age, she started to appear in some local magazines, newspapers, and TV segments as a "child genius"- a 10-year-old who had taught herself 3 languages apart from her own! People ate this up. Carmen never quite made national news, but she did make plenty of local news, which... put even more pressure on her. If she wasn't smart, how could she live up to all these expectations?

By 13, she had achieved fluency in German, but she was still working at Mandarin. It was so hard! She had been working at Mandarin for nearly five years, and she still wasn't good enough. She was getting frustrated- so she doubled down. Along with her regular studies, she crammed as if studying for an exam. And then, she decided to throw Russian in there for good measure. It was a good challenge! That was where she started to crash and burn. She started to struggle. Carmen's focused brain did not view failure- or even anything less than a tremendous success- as an option. So she pushed, and pushed, and pushed... until she shattered. Suddenly, doing anything was a challenge. Carmen, a 14-year-old styled prodigy, lacked the energy to even get out of bed in the morning for months. She was furious at herself- she had failed. She was a failure.

Her parents, concerned for her mental health, started debating putting her back in public school. Around this time, her father received a truly amazing job offer from a firm in Swindon, Texas. Although they were loathe to leave the community that Miami offered, they were unable to refuse, and so moved. Just entering high school, Carmen was enrolled in Millard Fillmore High School. It was her first school in 8 years, and she was understandably nervous. She had left her few friends behind in Miami, and had no one but her twin brothers (who were 3 years younger than her), and her older brother (who was a senior when they moved) with her. Besides for her brother, who DEFINITELY didn't wanna talk to her in school, she was alone.

On maybe her third day of her freshman year, Carmen was called to the principal's office out of the blue. She wasn't entirely sure why, and everyone yelled at her retreating form when she left English class, but it had to be for something good! On that walk, though, she was grabbed by a shadowy figure and, before she could react, she was unconscious.

She awoke in an interrogation room, facing an intimidating Russian lady. (Russian! How cool! I bet she speaks Russian... maybe she'll practice with me!) Carmen was scared in that moment, but what that lady said intrigued her. There was a spy organization based in the school, and they wanted... her? Logically, Carmen should've refused this offer, but... if this lady was telling the truth, this was a purpose for her. She could use her totally useless skills to help the world. So she said yes.

Ever since, Carmen has been a member of PROM. She just got out of her freshman training year, and has hardened up a bit since then. She's learned to fight and talk to people and maybe a little torture, and the Neural Sync really helped her with her language learning! She finally achieved fluency in Mandarin, and is approaching fluency in Russian, and added four more languages- Arabic, Japanese, Portuguese, and Hindi. PROM is really insisting she focus on Arabic, but the others are... well, okay. Its stressful, but it's cool. What teenager wouldn't wanna travel the world and also kick ass?



T A L E N T S

• Language Mastery: Carmen is fluent in five languages (English, Spanish, Mandarin, French, and German) conversational in two (Arabic and Russian), and a novice at three (Portuguese, Japanese, and Hindi). She probably knows the most languages among the PROM agents, and is often a designated translator.
• Intelligence: Carmen learns and disseminates information at a rapid pace, and can easily maneuver her way around puzzles, riddles, and basically any problem.

G A D G E T S

• Multi-Colored, Multi-Use Pens: In what seems to be a hallmark of a study addict, Carmen has a variety of pastel and regular-colored gel pens that she keeps with her at nearly all times in a cute little pencil holder. These pens do contain ink, and Carmen frequently uses their ink for normal purposes, but the pens actually have two cartridges. The ink one is easy enough to activate, but the other requires a special touch. Each contains a special poison, tranquilizer, knife, or serum meant to make Carmen's job a bit easier. They're discreet, and she can stick someone quite easily with one. This is ironic, considering she's deathly afraid of needles. That's why none of them are meant for use on herself! She also has a pen that's just a communicator.
• Translator Watch: Sometimes, Carmen forgets a word. That's alright! Everyone forgets a word. That's why she has her handy-dandy translator watch. If she flicks a button on it, it can discreetly listen into the conversation and accurately translate everything the person is saying. It uses context clues to figure out what she might need to say back, and supplies a useful translation. It's discreet. And the watch is a cute pastel blue! It also tells the time... and it has a Tamagotchi.
• Eavesdropper: Carmen can easily attach a small gadget connected to a pearl earring earpiece on someone's shirt or maybe drop it in a plant. The small thing is nearly invisible, but it records and transmits audio directly to her earpieces, allowing her to eavesdrop on nearly any conversation. This is especially helpful because it records audio and allows her to translate things she doesn't necessarily understand later.

Erik is rather unimpressive when only using physical appearances to judge him. He's around average height, boarding on tall depending on who is asked and has neither a muscular build nor a tiny frame just somewhere in the middle. He keeps his hair at a respectable length allowing it to ever so slightly creep past his ears. In recent years he has started to let his facial hair grow out just enough to barely cover his face. His eyes are a light brown that seem as though they hold a kind of softness and caring that is drastic from his chosen specialty in the field.

Erik has a bit of a dual personality which the Prom program has been unable to identify the reason for. On a normal day, Erik while definitely not outgoing by any means is a light-hearted kid who can find the joys of most things. He can be described as somewhat goofy if anything when around those he trusts. Outside of close friends, however, Erik is more reserved. While still, an easy-going individual Erik will prefer to keep to himself rather than draw attention to himself. Erik can easily be identified as the intelligent quiet type that is more than happy to stay to himself is needed and does not need attention like many of his peers.

This changes drastically however whenever a mission is in place or Erik is introduced to a high-stress environment. When this occurs a switch of sorts is flipped within him completely changing him. Erik leans more into the cold calculating portion of his nature quickly becoming a perfect agent as it were. During these times Erik appears to drop all reservations that would stop most individuals from carrying out certain tasks for the sake of a mission. This could also be seen as Eric becoming a devout believer in the ends justifying the means.

Erik was born in the large city of Munich located close to the southern border of Germany. His mother Annabeth was a member of the GSG9 and served as one of its snipers for most of her early days. His father however is a mystery to Erik. According to his mother his father left before he was born leaving her with the sole responsibility of caring for him while maintaining her stressful career.

Through his early childhood, Erik did show some signs that would alarm some parents. Mostly in the fact that unlike most of his peers his age Erik took quite a while to under his first words and preferred to keep to himself rather than play with the other children. While some parents would be concerned with this development from their child Annabeth was far too busy to give full care to Erik, coupled with the fact that he appeared to be fully together mentally made it seemed as though he was just shy. Indeed even his teachers as a child said he was leagues ahead of the other students at least when it came to reading and math.

By the age of 7, Erik was largely able to care for himself while being left alone himself when his mother had missions to do. Most kids would have freaked at even the idea of benign alone for even a few minutes but Erik seemed unfazed by it. In fact, Erik seemed to do just fine with being alone, simply reading or playing chess, a game he had discovered in one of his many times alone in the house. He had found a great affinity with the game and became fascinated by it. Every piece had a purpose, there was no luck, each player was on equal footing, and every move counted.

By the time Erik had turned 9, he had completely eclipsed just about everything his school had to offer and was quickly moved to a private school deeper in the heart of Munich. Here Erik was challenged greatly but he proved to be more up to the task. This kind of environment proved to be great for an individual such as Erik. The school was rigorous and was focused on breeding only the greatest minds for the future of Germany. This however was when Erik showed even further signs of being distant from others in his fellow peers. He spent more time locked in his room reading or studying than he did outside of it. Here Erik found a love for specifically History and psychology, with a sprinkling of philosophy much to his teachers' joy. Even with this newfound love of academics, beyond his own natural intelligence, and great marks from his teachers there was still something off about the young boy. Something that came out whenever he competed in something. Whether it be Chess or Football, Erik seemed to have a competitive side like no other. But that still wasn't the best way to describe it. A small glimpse at the kind of agent he would become Erik showed an almost joy in winning, but not just in winning but in completely destroying his opponents. As far as Erik was concerned if his opponents had not wanted to be beaten so badly they should have worked as hard as he had in preparation.

By the time Erik had turned 13, he began to notice something very strange occurring around him. Regardless of whether it was a large tournament or simply walking home to school, Erik began to notice a difference in the crowd around him. This all culminated the day Erik had been named the youngest chess Champion his school had produced since its beginning. To most Erik seemed his usual self however a trained eye could see that he was keeping his eyes on a particular person in the crowd. A person he had seen a great deal of in the past few years. Whoever this mystery man was he had been following Erik for some unknown reason. Just as the game finished Erik moved his eyes for a split second to acknowledge his opponent but when they returned the man was already gone. The very next day his mother had been offered an unusually high paying job working as a consultant for a local police unit in the United States.


T A L E N T S

• Chess Prodigy- Ever since he was a child Erik has loved Chess and strategy games in general.
• Marksmen- Erik has become quite proficient with firearms over the course of his life showing a particular liking to Sniper Rifles and pistols
• Observation- Erik appears to have an unnatural ability to notice even the slightest of differences when it comes to both people and objects.
• Questioning- his specified role within Prom Erik has shown great ability in bringing out the truth in people. While this is usually done through Psychological warfare Erik is no stranger to more physical means of getting the info from people.

G A D G E T S

• DSR-1SD - German sniper rifle that has been modified with an extended barrel
• 1911- custom pistol with a German eagle engraved on the handle
• Fast-acting short duration truth serum that is kept in small canisters.

Other

• Speaks with a German accent even though is capable of fluent English
• reads books on philosophy and history mostly
• Keeps a journal hidden in his room
• listens to music constantly

Strength: c-
Erik by normal standards is rather strong but when compared to his fellow agents or those in his line of work he is woefully inadequate in terms of brute strength leading him to utilize his speed rather than anything.

Intelligence: A.

Close-Quarters Combat: B-
While Erik Lacks the physical strength to give him a clear advantage in fights, he makes up for this with his use of speed and knowledge of the human body. This combined with his quick thinking in stressful situations makes him a dangerous adversary.

Firearms: A+
While his close-quarters combat is nothing to write home about Erik has made up for this with his expertise in Firearms. Preferring to use long-distance rifles when it can be helped, Erik however has shown a liking to pistols when he moves with the team.

Concealment and Disguise: B
Erik's rather unimpressive physical build does come with the advantage of being able to appear as a simple member of the crowd. When not in a busy area Erik’s close attention to detail also comes with a great ability to use camouflage

Strategic Thinking/Leadership: B+
While not the most vocal person Erik is a great strategist. While his leadership skills suffer as a result of his usual quietness he makes up for this with his ability to plan ahead.

Mental Agility/Intuition: B+
Erik has shown quite the ability to remain calm when under pressure. While he prefers there to be a well made plan he also understands no plan works without being changed as soon as the game starts.

Hacking/Computer Operation: D
For all his ability and intellect Erik has little to no ability when it comes to hacking or computers outside the basics of field necessities.

Observation/Interrogation: A+
The reason Erik was recruited to the Prom program to begin with. Ever since a young age, Erik has shown an aptitude for observing people and objects and picking up on the slightest differences or things that are out of place. This combined with his knowledge of psychology and human anatomy has led him to be a dangerous enemy in an interrogation scenario.

Linguistics: B+
Being born in Germany and moving to America has given Erik the chance to be fluent in both German and English from a young age. However, Erik has also shown an affinity for speaking Russian. While it is not quite up to native speaking standards to the trained ear it certainly can pass. Erik has also begun the process of learning other languages he says would help with Questioning.

Teamwork/Cooperation: B+
Erik is great at working in teams and rarely butts heads with the designated team lead on missions. However, it is recommended to not give him orders when interrogating a high-value target.

Fifteen.

Place of Birth:
Don't know the exact location, just that it was some city out in the asshole end of Russia.

Gender:
Male.

Physical Description

General Description:
I think I'm pretty average lookin' for the most part, brown hair, brown eyes. I'm like, 6'1" or somethin', dunno if I'll get any taller, but I'd be fine either way. Oh, but I guess there's somethin' weird about my face though, because whenever I try to smile or anythin' like that, people start to freak out and think I'm about to beat the shit out of them or somethin'. But yeah pretty normal other than that.

Height:
6'1"

Weight:
170lb

Ethnicity:
Russian I guess, not that it actually matters to me.

Personality

General Description:
Ok, so let's get this part outta the way first. I'm an ass. I know. Might not have much goin' for me, but I'm a big enough person to at least admit that. I just ain't the type to get all buddy buddy with people, mostly because just about every time I tried as a kid, the other kids'd think I was tryin' to pick a fight or some shit. If they approached me, it usually ended with me getting tricked and beaten up, either because they thought I was a loser for likin' "girly shit" like sewin' or gardenin', or because I looked scary enough that it meant I was the bully, and they were just tryin' to keep me from bullyin' anybody else. So, eventually I started to expect it. Managed to scare the smart ones off, and beat the shit outta the dumb ones who didn't get the hint. Only problem is that I can't really tell anymore when someone might genuinely be tryin' to make friends with me, if they ever are. So, I end up tellin' those people to piss off too. And then sometimes later on I start wonderin' if maybe they really did wanna be my friend, but by then it's too late, you know? Then the next time it happens, I freak out and tell 'em to leave me alone again, because I'm an ass and an idiot.

So yeah, only person I feel like I can really trust is Nat, my mom. She got me out of that shitty orphanage I got stuck in, and brought me somewhere I could actually feel sorta... well, happy. Don't have to feel nervous about my hobbies or anythin', it's nice. Sure, she still teases me sometimes, but I can feel safe that she doesn't mean anythin' actually mean about it. That bein' said, she reckons I should let more people in, give 'em a chance, or at least try not to get in so many fights. I'm sick of lettin' her down with that stuff, so I'm really gonna try this time. No seriously, I'm gonna do it! I ain't gonna let shit get to me anymore! I'm gonna turn the other cheek or whatever so damn hard it'll break my goddamn neck!

Oh, but that doesn't count for the dickheads who go out and try to pick on other people over stupid shit! I had to deal with it and I know how much it sucks, so there's no goddamn way I'm lettin' anyone else go through it when I'm around! Screw that!

Likes:

Dislikes:

Goddamn stupid assholes who just casually waste food like it’s nothin’

Goals:
I... I dunno yet... I guess I wanna make Nat proud, and maybe it'd be sorta nice to make a couple of friends or somethin'?

Fears:
Well, I know I don't wanna disappoint Nat anymore. Other than that... Ghosts. Definitely ghosts. Can't hit 'em 'cause they're... ethereal? 's that the word? I dunno, they're ghosty... Jeez, fine. I'm frickin' terrified that people are just gonna keep on judging me forever, alright?! Now just drop it already!

Sexual Preference:
Oh, uh... straight I guess? Nobody really gives me the time of day, so I don't really think about it too often.

Biography

Brief Bio:
Well, ok, I guess. Not that much to say though. Like I said before, I used to live out in the asshole end of Russia or Siberia or somewhere around there. I don't really remember much about my parents, but I know I wound up in an orphanage by the time I was four. Now I dunno if you know this, but kids can be real pricks, especially when they think somethings 'weird', like a guy who makes scary expressions all the time, or that scary-lookin' guy bein' into shit like knittin' and cookin'. So they started comin' at me, and I started givin' back everything I got. I don't regret it either, the little shits had it coming! It did make the caretakers see me as some kinda 'problem child', so in the end just tryin' to defend myself made things even worse. It all just wound up turning into some shitty spiral.

Then, when I was around eight, Nat found me. I still have no idea why she actually did it, but she got me outta that place and adopted me properly, so I can't really complain. Besides, for whatever reason, I already felt like I could trust her pretty easily even back then, so it was like I knew from the get go I'd be happier leavin' with her than staying where I was. And I mean, it's not like I was wrong or anythin', I was able to do all the stuff I like without having to look over my shoulder when I was home. It was just when I started school here that I realised being a piece of shit wasn't just a cultural thing. So in the end, I never really got away from the 'angry asshole' thing. Hell, I actually think it might've gotten even worse.

Anyway, you guys know the rest. I kept fighting people, I got better and better at it, all leadin' up to the bit where you assholes kidnapped me and stuck me in some random ass room and told to join the team. Don't even really know why I said yes, but I did, and now here I am dancin' around like your goddamn puppet. You're welcome.

Skillset

Talents/Skills:
Alright, so you probably already know this, but I'm damn good in a fight, especially if I can get in close. I hit hard, and I can usually catch when someone's windin' up to hit me way before they actually go through with it. Hell, I'd even say my brain is at it's best when I'm in a brawl, always helpin' me stay a step ahead of whoever I'm up against and figurin' out weird ways to confuse 'em and get the advantage. Might not be the best with computers or any of that crap, but you can bet your ass I'll be more than good enough to keep the bad guys off whoever is. Actually, I'm not bad at patchin' myself up after a fight either. Nothin' incredible, but probably more than the average idiot my age. And I'm also pretty good at keepin' myself in shape. If there's anythin' I know about all that sciency crap, it's nutrition and exercise stuff.

For the non-spy stuff, I'm pretty good at workin' 'round the house. Cookin', cleanin', all that stuff. Also, I don't mean to brag, but I'm probably better at sewin', knittin', or any other textile work than anyone I've ever met. Of course, you go spreadin' any of that shit around, I'll use those skills to sew your goddamn mouth shut, ya hear me?! This shit ain't leavin' this room!

Gadgets:
Shock Gauntlets
Forgot what they were meant to be called, but it doesn't matter. All that matters is that they're badass. Basically, the hand area is braced to make 'em hit a little harder, and they can generate a crazy powerful electric charge to mess people up when I punch 'em, or even more if I manage to grab 'em. Even better, further up the wrist they've got a cord I can launch out, about twelve feet long, with a little hooky barb thing that can snag peoples clothes and reel 'em in. 'course, I don't need to extend it the whole length or reel it in straight away, I can also just loose it part way and use it like a whip, or even grab it like one of those chokey cords, think it's called a garrote. Best part? I can even send the electricity through the cord too! And all of that in what most people would think is just a normal pair of motorbike gloves! Coolest part of this whole spy gig, hundred percent.

Shock Bola
Not as cool as the gauntlets for sure, but these things ain't bad either. Essentially a little ring-ish thing ya hold, and there are three cords comin' off the sides with metal weights attached to the ends. You spin 'em around to gather up the speed and then ya throw 'em at your enemies, where it'll tangle 'em up. Usually you throw it at their feet to trip 'em over, but you can get it around their arms and weapons if you aim right, make a little more time for yourself before they can start shootin' at ya again. Then when I press a button on my gauntlet, it activates 'em, sends a signal over to the ring to generate electricity and send it through the cords. Just a little extra way to keep anyone I tangle with 'em from gettin' back up, ya know?

And yeah, 's kind of it, really. Haven't actually needed anythin' else yet.

Shortcomings:
Alright, look, I don't need ya to tell me I don't have much goin' for me. I've heard it all before. I know. Probably pretty obvious by now that my people skills are garbage, but you might not've heard yet that I'm a dumbass too. Ain't exactly doing the best in my normal classes ya know? Except stuff like Art and Home Ec 'cause you know, that shits actually fun, but all the normal classes for the brainy kids? Not my best area, gotta admit. And don't even get me started with tech shit, christ... I mean, I can use it most of the time, but don't ask me how the hell it works.

Extra Stuff

Ok, so I don't actually know my real birthday, but Nat adopted me properly on the eighteenth of August, so that's when we celebrate it.

Yo putting the voice example here too so nobody else accidentally assumes he’d have a Russian accent.

Strength:
A
Agent Aster's physical strength is remarkable compared to many others in his age group, likely due to what he views as necessity with how often he gets into physical altercations with other students. However, this is not entirely unexpected when one notes his regular training, even if he believes no one has noticed him doing so.

Intelligence:
D+
Agent Aster is not what one might call academically gifted. He has shown surprising knowledge in the areas of nutrition and physical fitness, and even some potential as a medic if properly trained, but the fields of mathematics, history, and any form of science not connected to the previously mentioned fields continue to elude him.

Close-Quarters Combat:
A+
Due to a combination his optimal physical condition and equally sharp instincts, Agent Aster has proven to be incredibly talented in the field of close-quarters combat. He is quick to adapt to various marital arts during training, and what had once merely been relatively straightforward brawling has evolved into a versatile style that can excel in both offence and defence, especially with the utilisation of grappling cords.

Firearms:
B-
While not particularly poor with long range weaponry, it is far from Agent Aster's area of expertise. More likely than not he will need to rely on squadmates in a prolonged firefight, as he alone will be unlikely to succeed unless he can find a way to get into close range.

Concealment and Disguise:
C+
While Agent Aster's skills in sewing and other textiles holds unexpected potential for the creation of disguises, poor interpersonal and acting skills make successful infiltrations unlikely as of this point. Perhaps in the future, should he get better at interacting with others, he may show potential in this area, but as of now it is simply not viable.

Strategic Thinking/Leadership:
D
Despite a good ability to think up unorthodox solutions on the fly, Agent Aster is unfortunately too poor in terms of social interactions to be viable as a tactical leader at this stage. On top of this, Aster himself holds no confidence in his ability to lead, and would likely shift a leadership role to a teammate even if he were to overcome his social issues.

Mental Agility/Intuition:
A
Agent Aster's ability to come up with unorthodox solutions to issues at a moments notice may be one of his greatest points, allowing him to escape difficult situations in ways that are often extremely difficult for opponents to predict. This coupled with remarkable intuition allows him not only to be a powerful close range fighter, but to avoid many conflicts altogether, though admittedly it is seemingly quite rare for him to choose that path as of this stage.

Hacking/Computer Operation:
D-
After much observation, it has been determined that Agent Aster should not be expected to perform any important activies related to computers. In fact, it is our current belief that Agent Aster may in fact be borderline tech-illiterate, capable of little more than locating and playing the program Full Tilt! Pinball on former Promenade operative Natalie Shaw's laptop.

Observation/Interrogation:
B
While Agent Aster does seem capable at observing certain details and changes in an individuals body language, our current understanding is that this rarely extends beyond determining whether or not said individual is planning to start a fight, and how they are going to act in said fight. However, naturally intimidating facial features coupled with his general aggression allows him to be very effective in an interrogation environment, as long as a partner is present to play good cop to his bad cop and take note of any information revealed.

Linguistics:
C
Though Agent Aster was born and raised in Russia, a fairly poor quality education means that his knowledge of the language is somewhat limited. He could make his way in the country without too much trouble, but he has difficulty with more intricate concepts such as metaphors and common sayings.

Teamwork/Cooperation:
C-
Unfortunately, though Agent Aster is technically capable of acting within a team, his long-running difficulties with interpersonal relationships makes it difficult for him. Though his willingness to trust fellow operatives has shown signs of improvement, and he is willing to put his own health at risk should he deem it necessary, he has an unfortunate tendency to argue or simply follow his own decisions if he disagrees with the instructions given to him, especially when they come from his own peers.

Oliver stands a little bit shorter than average. While he thinks he has more room to grow, he is yet to accept he was an early bloomer. He isn't particularly muscular and is generally a bit less fit and more thin than the average student at Prom. Which is still reasonably fit. His posture tends to be laid back.

Bolstered by just his acceptance into Prom, Olly has confidence in his stride. The reality of him just being a big fish from a small pond is yet to set in fully for him. The concept is slowly dawning on him though, particularly with his poor performance in some aspects of the grading. He isn't hot shit in Prom, he is just one of number of others equal to him in their own way. Despite him respecting each classmate as an equal, he has yet to accept that.

Oliver is quite introverted, but is quite capable of socialization. He tends to make himself go into social situations as he knows he needs to improve on his communication both in and outside of missions.

Ollie has an unusual outlook on missions and by extension his time at Prom. He does this for entertainment, he seems to display minimal interest in the tangible duties and benefits of the job in comparison to other students eg Ivy League set ups and a duty to save the world. This isn't to say he isn't driven to succeed, quite the opposite. Ollie is takes every opportunity to learn and improve his craft and take failures rather gravely outside of training scenarios. He has been known to request footage of training scenarios to review and endlessly study.

L I K E S

• Strategy Games: During free time or under need to destress, Ollie plays strategy games. Age of Empires 2 is his favourite.
• Tech Study: Ollie loves tinkering with tech. Any thing new he comes across brings a compulsion to pick it apart and see how it works.
• Skating: There are some exceptions to Ollie's general disinterest with sport. Skating is the main one. He skates to high school.
• Improvising: When the original plans falls through, he sees recovering from that as a challenge.
• When a plan comes together: Ben likes to have things charted out ahead of time, and loves to craft a good game plan, whether that be before a football player or a high-stakes operation.

D I S L I K E S

• Taking someone's orders when their plan is flawed: "I don't follow a failing plan, its as simple as that. You can't force me in to losing."
• Tests of strength: Ollie isn't strong and he can be insecure about that. He doesn't like being confronted with it.

G O A L S

• Become a leader: Ollie has a goal to prove himself and extend his abilities as much as possible
• Stay in this life: Ollie knows this life won't last. He intends to fight that. If he gets his memory wiped he knows that he will likely still be trying to reach out to these agencies to no success. A wasted life.

F E A R S

• Stagnation: Ollie has to continue rising.
• Failure: As with any profession, failure is to be feared.
• Becoming ordinary: Ollie will not return to his old life.

Oliver grew up in Amity, Maine. That about sums up his early life. To put it simply he was a big fish in a very small and mundane pond. He didn't struggle with his subjects and he didn't care a great deal for sports, so he ended up with a lot of free time. He played around with various hobbies to pass the time and was quickly drawn to technology, strategy games, and weird indie music. And while the last of those three ended up being a strange phase, the other two remain some of his top passions to this day.

But in the time and place he was in, this all meant nothing. Amity, Maine isn't exactly known for producing brilliant engineers and the sort. That was for a good reason, there is nothing there. Looking at the prospect of his potential being wasted, Oliver decided he needed to make a statement. He always heard about men in black and stories like that, maybe he could be loud enough for them to hear.

In a particular classified location, all security cameras went off at once. Oliver, using some homebrewed tools, was able to make his way into the security room. In the adrenaline of it all succeeding, he didn't question why the room was empty. All he did was count down until the cameras would come back online. When they did he would have his arms up leaving the facility untouched aside from the fact that he was now inside. 5... 4... he couldn't help the smile spreading across his face 3... 2... he feel unconscious.

Oliver woke up in an interrogation room. PROM explained to him that they had been watching him for a while. They knew about his plan and laxed up on security to make it more possible. I was a test. They then gave him an offer. It was an offer he couldn't refuse.


T A L E N T S

• Strategy/Planning: Any situation, any challenge, any twist. Ollie has a plan and some things up his sleeve.
• Disruption: "Make them blind, deaf, and mute. Then they don't have a hope of winning."

G A D G E T S

• EMP Grenades: These grenades emit a pulse that disables electronics for a very short time. But it forces every system in the area to restart which can be disastrous for larger systems. They can be put on a timer.
• Comms jammers: These are devices that can be set up on any surface. As long as they remain functional only a very small bandwidth of frequencies may pass through in an area around it. These are set to allow PROM comms to pass through.
• Burrow Cams: A device that can burrow through a wide range of surfaces offering visual on the other side.tle dart.
• Tracker Mites: A gun that can fire small tracking chips. Due to their incredibly small size they are difficult to notice when attached, but they cannot emit a powerful signal so their emission range is quite low. The feedback to a tablet on Static's forearm that can read the position of the tracker. Static often gets someone else to shoot the gun due to his lack of aim. While not immune to EMP, they are designed to operate well under sudden shut off and restart conditions making them resistant.
• Field Medic Kit: After a few too many allies getting wounds in the field, Ollie thought it nessecary to learn the medical field. Well, at least enough to patch people up. He is still learning.

Strength: C-

While capable and fit for the average teen, he does not stack up very well compared to other Prom students. He is not particularly strong or fast.

Intelligence: A

He makes standard high school subjects seem like a cake walk. He does not need to study long hours to grasp subjects at all.

Close-Quarters Combat: D

His lack of strength and speed hinder him greatest here. Although he is able to read his opponents moves sufficiently, he is unable to capitalize on it because of his lack of ability. His attacks are slow and can be easily read compared to other students.

Firearms: B-

He has memorized effective ranges and can count magazines to the last bullet to most firearms in the armory. However, this does not make up for his sub par ability to aim. He is suited to close range firearms like shotguns.

Concealment and Disguise: B+

Good capabilities with concealment given the option he is much more capable of this. His disguises could use some more work particularly in his voice work.

Strategic Thinking/Leadership: A-

Can make up solid plans on the spot and can execute them effectively. He has some trouble communicating his ideas.

Mental Agility/Intuition: A+

With a change of situation, he can formulate and execute a new plan at the drop of a hat. In test simulations, he could only be caught out by events that weren't logically possible.

Hacking/Computer Operation: B

While he is capable, he ends up being only average at this. In his words 'I would rather pull out the plug than bother with all this'. This, of course, is not always the best course of action.

Observation/Interrogation: C+

Struggles to read body movement in an interrogation setting. Additionally, he isn't very capable on intimidation.

Linguistics: C+

He knows French quite well in theory but his pronunciation needs work.

Teamwork/Cooperation: B

Capable of team work and following orders, until he disagrees with them. If a plan outright fails, he has a tendency to revert to his own plans. These negatives however are not frequent enough to give a lower grade.

Binx

Static and Binx constantly butt heads on missions. He gives out orders in accordance to his plan and she ignores them. For good reason, Static is younger than her and fails to communicate many details of his plans.

This changes outside of missions, they get along out of an equal interest in developing tech and devices.

"I mean yeah, I think up a flawless plan and she just goes off and does her own thing. That can be frustrating. But when it comes to being back at Prom, honestly I take notes on her approach to design. It seems effortless to her and she can make the same thing at the same power with cheaper components. Shes clearly done a lot more hands on learning with this kind of stuff. Where I was just hitting the books at home for the longest time. So yeah when I see a place I can improve, I take notes."

Bug

Static and Bug have a mutual understanding of making each others lives harder through constant pranks and jokes on each other.

"People who say that bugs can't do harm clearly don't know history. Every time a group of people are working on crops or keeping cattle, a big swarm of bugs come in to ruin the day. Its why coding mistakes are called bugs and its probably why Agent Bug took that codename. I can't tell you how many times I have been working on some digital gizmo and its suddenly turns off or starts to blink weird colors. Only for me to look across the room and see Em laughing. Its half the reason I work in analog as well now. You might ask why this does bother me? Well, its because I do the same shit right back.

Aster and Honey

The are a few agents which Ollie would prefer to keep relations strictly professional.

"Whether its being intimidated by them or if they just bum me out. I don't think its in my best interested to get close. On second thought its a mix of both."

Kingfisher

While the two keep pleasant out of mission relations, Static appreciates Kingfisher during a mission a lot more.

"What is there to say. He is good at dispatching people and can operate in a team well, there isn't a better person to have on a team. He could lighten up a bit though."

Babel

The two are both willing and able to help each other in areas of spy life that the other is struggling in. They also play strategy games together and Carmen has even managed to get him to branch out to other games.

"Carmen, yeah, shes quite a popular for a new recruit huh. I mean she didn't get nearly as much of a hazing as I did last year. Mind you its probably for the best, the seniors last year had some dickheads. Anyway yeah Carmen, shes cool. I don't hang out with her as much as some of the others but when we do its a good time."

Wahrheit

Static's opinions on Eric change depending if its on a mission or not. Out of missions their interactions are generally pleasant if a bit sparse with the occasional game of chess (which Static loses the majority of). But on mission, Ollie has no way to describe it outside of being afraid of the guy.

"I mean its not as if we don't get along on missions. We convene a lot when it comes to an initial plan. Two heads better than one and all. Plus he is the perfect eye on the outside with a good vantage point. But he is just so stern and cold all the time. It kind of bums me out man. Oh and don't even get me started on the interrogation thing. I won't stay in the same room while he's doing it. Never have, never will. You see him bring in tough guys, like tough guys. They just don't come out the same. So yeah I'm scared of him. If I was ever in a situation where I had to be question by him, I can't imagine."

Shortcomings:

• Military Tactics: Jack was not raised by super spies or taught how to kill from the age of five. His father was an actor and his mother was a veterinarian (or so he was raised to believe). So he is not an expert in tactical situations. He can hold his own but he is not good at leading teams in situations that require military action. He just wasn’t taught that sort of thing at home. It’s also very hard to try and talk your way out of a firefight with the bad guys.
• Best in certain places: Jack’s main talent is his disguises and his charisma. He’s excellent when trying to chat with a rich man at his mansion. He is not great when the man’s goons are chasing him through the woods. He would require team support when he is out of his element.
