She tends to dress in her way, with suspenders and fishnet undershirts, and any combination of jeans, shorts, or skirts. Her hair tends to be a variety of colors and the texture is a bit over processed currently and it’s visible to the trained eye. Her face is always a chaotic mishmash of colors, and a random oil splattering on her cheek. Summer is a second-generation woman whose family came to St. Portwell twenty-five years ago. Since she was born she has been a prodigy of invention. She spent her youth building and getting into trouble when her ‘inventions’ caused damage. When she was young she was downtown during the rampage of the snakes' minions and underwent her kindling event. Ever since she’s been inventing new and improved ways of using both her and her twin's abstraction. [/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] [indent] Summer is a Red-Orange lux and Master Craft is Summers abstraction. She uses it to create weapons, automatons, and swords for Faith’s monsters. Weapon Master: Summer can craft, enhance, and perfect various weapon designs. These can range from simple empowered swords to complex abstraction-fueled designs such as the Plasma Launcher. The Plasma Launcher is a complex mechanism that fires the plasma abstraction of her twin brother, using specially designed containers to house the volatile energy. It is a complex, unreliable weapon that only Summer understands however when it works it is devastatingly powerful. Her Weapon Master skill also gives her the ability to receive these weapon blueprints as if brought about by inspiration. Homunculi: Summer has built a small army of robotic servants powered by her own abstraction. These homunculi can range from small bird-like drones to several durable and tough fighting units with numerous guns hidden in the sides of their arms. She has to ensure that they are always at a full charge, and often spends her night pouring her lux into these machines. The robotic soldiers are placed strategically around the 317, ready to fend off any unprovoked attack. Ritual services: As well as offering her skills to the defense of the 317, Summer is deeply involved with the rituals, namely Faiths. She will custom forge weapons to serve as the binding object for Faith, and she will pour her own lux into these weapons to make them as deadly as possible.[/indent] [/cell][/row] [row][cell][h2][b] Jason[color=2e2c2c].[/color]Li [/b][/h2][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/CbbcfRk.jpeg[/img] [b]22 | Jason Li | He/Him [/b][hr//][i]" You don’t know what you’re about to experience ."[/i][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent] Jason is the fraternal twin of Summer although he is a decent bit taller. He has long hair, piercings, and tattoos. His fashion sense is boring, and he’d usually wear black pants, a cheap hoodie, and a random band shirt. Sometimes he spices things up by wearing vests and jean jackets and going for the double denim. Jason grew up much like Summer. Expectations were for him to become the best at whatever career he decided on. It did not matter to his family what that was, and this mindset was drilled into him from a young age. It never really clicked for him until the attack and his kindling event, which caused him to see the world in a different way. .[/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] [indent]Plasma Caster: Jason is a Red-Orange-Green lux and he is able to summon, and manipulate, a ball of plasma. His channeler is a zippo. Plasma Caster: Jason is able to summon a ball of plasma that he can manipulate in specific ways. He can throw the ball, turn it into a sword, or reduce it in size to help him cut through his metal art. The power of the sun: When Jason throws the ball of plasma, it loses stability and explodes on impact. This scatters the plasma over an area burning through anything it gets in contact with. In my hands: Jason can channel his plasma into more applicable and useable forms. He can turn the plasma into a long blade-like object and live his Jedi fantasy. This blade can cut through most objects with ease but prolonged use will eventually begin to burn himself. He can focus this into his fingertips to give him a plasma cutter.

They tend to dress plainly, wearing leggings and sweaters over anything more practical or more appropriate. They have large glasses that make their eyes seem bigger than they are. Their hair is kept at a short bob length, and she has no piercings or tattoos which make them the odd one out at the 317. When Alex was younger, they were nearly killed by the Stygian Snake and the minions that followed. Instead of dying, they awoke with a strange presence inside of them, and their wounds healed. Tjeu suspect that this was due to Britney, and the offer for Alex to join a cult soon thereafter cemented that thought. Alex did not join, instead, they ran away from the fight as they struggled to understand the new voice in their head. Eventually, they were approached by Faith and Octavia and offered a permanent home at the 317. Even though they do not sell or produce art themself, they have a powerful connection to it. [b]Abstraction:[/B] [indent]Aberration (adjoined.) Alex can utilize paintings to transport, trap, change our reality, and seal using paintings. Down the rabbit hole: Alex can link together paintings and open a portal through the canvas. Anyone can step into these portals and will be transported to a world influenced by the two paintings. If there were dinosaurs in one, and robots in the other, the tunnel between the two would feature some combination of both. The individuals in the paintings will be very much active, alive, and aware you do not belong. The occupants of this realm will not attack, at first, but if one lingers for too long they will force the unwelcome guests out of their home. Alex is allowed free passage through the paintings and the denizens of them appear friendly towards him. If someone follows Alex uninvited he can compel the subjects of the painting to grab hold of them as he makes his retreat. Once he’s out he can sever the connection, condemning the trapped person to become a part of the painting forever. When this happens, the trapped person, monster, or apparition will appear in both paintings. If the connection is severed as they are trying to leave the painting through a portal, whatever is still inside the painting will be removed from the rest of the body. And back out: If the need arises Alex warps reality around him through the lens of his Aberation. When he does this, everything will appear to be changed into whatever style the Aberration wants. Thus, a modern building could appear to be an old Western. When reality is altered like this Alex can sense all nearby paintings and open a portal to whatever painting he wants in the nearby area.

They are short, with long hair that is kept in a ponytail. They typically wear long skirts, tube tops, and various stylish jackets. They often have their headphones on listening to their music, trying to find their faults even if none exist. They will also always have their violin and the maestro’s bow. Lori grew up in Columbus Ohio. Their early years were busy, and there was great expectation as to their musical future. Yet a traumatic paranormal event, at a young age, has a funny way of derailing even the most stubborn of destinys. Once their kindling event was over, and the maestro’s bow found its way to her, they knew that they were destined for more than before. But it was not the path that their parents had expected. As such, they moved to Seattle two years ago and to St. Portwell later that year. Ever since they have arrived they have made advancements through the ranks of the 317.[/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] Aberration Agent [indent]An Orchestra Of One: Lori is an agent, and when they play their music together with the maestros bow they are able to gift their friends buffs, corrupt and control those around them or bring death to their enemies. Every time they plays, the maestro plays with them and Lori truly becomes a one person orchestra Supportive melody: When they plays her song Supportive Melody they bestow a protection spell on those they consider friends. This spell provides a buff to emotional fields, absorb impacts, and gain a boon to their strength. The buff lasts for as long as the song does, and she can loop the song as many times as needed. Corruption Spreads: If they need to, they can change up the tempo and go into a slow ballad. This ballad is one that spreads corruption to all who hear it, and this corruption begins to pull away control from anyone who hears it. It is not something that they can control. The corruption will target everyone. Once the corruption starts to take hold, the victim will start to have black tendrils that spread across their face just underneath the skin. The victim will start listening to the music more intently, and will be suggestible to commands. This can be commands such as fight for me, protect me, and kill yourself. If the corruption reaches its crescendo, by Lori ethier hitting a corruptive note or by finishing the song, the target will become consumed by it and will lose all free will and become a thrall to the music. At this point Lori’s wish is their command, so if Lori wishes for them to die they simply need to think it so.[/indent] [/cell][/row] [row][cell][h2][b]Zeri[color=2e2c2c].[/color]Palmer[/b][/h2][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/oO9Jesm.jpeg[/img] [b]20 | Zeri Palmer | She/Her[/b][hr//][i]"Listen, listen, listen I really love this place and I am so grateful for your continued support of me!"[/i][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Zeri may be short, but she packs her frame with curves and confidence. She is always spotted with a smile. It seems that nothing can truly bring her down and this upbeat appearance is infectious. She typically dresses in some colorful dress, and accessories with reckless abandon. She typically wears her hair in a loose, single braid that stretches down in-between her shoulder blades, with several rouge strands sticking out in any direction. Zeri is from Florida. Her early life revolved around finding new ways to repurpose junk, and often this involved turning it into an artistic statement. She was pushed to focus on the important subjects yet this was not her calling. Eventually, an alligator man aberration forced her through her kindling event and she spent the next few years coming to terms with her new found power. Through the grapevine, she heard of an art collective across the country that was not only filled with people like her, but also a place for her to grow as an artist, She knew that she had to make a move, and she did. [/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] [indent]Zeri was a white lux user with a bag of buttons as her channeler. Zeri has the ability to see through walls and other obstructions as if they were not there, and she can mark areas with a button to create a ‘camera’ that she can access remotely. Nowhere to hide: Zeri has the ability to see through solid objects to a distance of seven feet. She can use this ability to check a room, the contents of a box, or even what someone has in their pocket with the distance dependent on how much power she channels. Her eyes will flash a dull white color for close range and a vivid white for her full power look. Button Camera: If Zeri instead wishes to keep an eye over an area she can enchant eight of her buttons to serve as her eyes in remote places. These buttons will still look like a normal button, and she’ll have to attach them to whatever surface she wishes, but when she taps into their feed they’ll glow a very dull white color. [/indent] [/cell][/row] [row][cell][h2][b]Thomas[color=2e2c2c].[/color]Agresti[/b][/h2][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/BJnibEL.jpeg[/img] [b]25 | Thomas Agresti | He/Him [/b][hr//][i]" This area is rich enough, I could totally tape a banana to a wall and make a killing."[/i][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent] Thomas is not a tall man. He’s been called a short king his entire life and it has not gone to his head. He has long locs that are well-maintained, and he is often spotted wearing some intricate or fashionable ensemble. He has various piercings and tattoos however most are hidden under his clothes. Thomas moved to St Portwell from New York fifteen years ago. He’s always been a shy, reserved person and this truly became more prevalent after the snake attack and his kindling event. Ever since then, he’s tried to further his trauma by focusing on his art, and this led to him joining the 317 early into their operations.[/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] [indent]Thomas is a purple lux with his channeler being a bracelet. Thomas has the power of telekinesis and can push, pull, crush, and throw objects or people at will. Overwhelming force: Thomas is able to manipulate objects up to three hundred pounds. He is able to pull them closer, push them away, and lift the target up by simply engaging their channeler and making the appropriate hand gesture. If he wants to crush a target, he has to first grab at the target with his power and once he has hold he simply needs to try and make a fist . The more durable and strong the target the harder it will be to make a fist.[/indent] [/cell][/row] [row][cell][h2][b]Jordan[color=2e2c2c].[/color]Fuchs[/b][/h2][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row][cell][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/3XoY6hy.jpeg[/img] [b]26 | Jordan Fuchs | He/Him [/b][hr//][i]" You’re going to need to explain yourself more if you want to get in here."[/i][/center][/cell][cell] [b]Description:[/b] [indent]Jordan has always been tall. It was the greatest shame that someone as tall as nearly six feet eight inches was not athletic in the slightest. He wanted to play basketball but he could never stop tripping over his own feet. He typically is found wearing his glasses, fuzzy sweaters, and rolled-up jeans. His hair is kept short and clean. Jordan was from Boston but followed his sibling Sypha across the country a year after they left after he had a paranormal encounter leading to his own kindling event. He’s always had a knack for telling a story through the visual medium, and he’s truly tried to blossom in this new location and with this new group. He typically acts as muscle for the 317. [/indent] [b]Abstraction:[/B] [indent]His channeler is an old stopwatch, Jordan is a green lux adept who can manipulate his own body to enhance his strength, durability, healing, and can take it all a step further with each one. Dr. Jekel: Normally Jordan is able to bolster his healing, strength, and durability. He can focus his power back into his body and heal all wounds, bolster his durability to survive most attacks and go beyond even peak human strength. He is a fighter, ready to protect and defend everyone he calls dear. His healing is faster and stronger than his own sisters. Mr. Hyde: If the situation calls for it Jordan can push himself even further, transforming his body into a hulking mass of muscle and anger. He grows to a height of seven feet, with muscles being the predominant trait visible. He gets faster, and stronger, and can go toe to toe with monsters and strong apparitions. The downside is he is no longer himself, at least in a sense, in this state. His suppressed anger, rage, and desire to cause harm become his personality and there is little one can do to bring out the sweet, innocent man that Jordan actually is.[/indent] [/cell][/row][/hider]
