History

Welcome to lower class suburban hell, where to the outside world everything looks peaches and cream but in reality- you're drowning in stasis and college debt. Bailey was nothing more than your average American boy with bright dreams and who wanted to believe that he had the right to shape and mold the young minds of the masses. What he didn't realize at the time was that not only did his dream career pay out very little but it often came with little to no gratitude. Not that he minded at the moment but he couldn't help but to feel a little bitter as he stumbled through his first shot of student teaching. The kids didn't care, that was a fact he as forced to come to terms with almost immediately and those who did care lacked the courage to put the class clowns in their places. Alas, this was his passion. Bailey had dreamed of being a teacher for as long as he could remember. Well, a professor but everyone had to start somewhere. For him it was at the NUI, a decent little college located a town over from his home. This allowed Bailey to cut the cost of dorm life and stay at home while working on his studies.

Of course, university was not cheap. Despite applying to numerous scholarships at the end of it all he was left with a hefty sum. Several student loans later and one soul sucking job in customer service, Bailey had finally made it- well, at least to the unpaid world of student teacher. Where he awkwardly scribbled down notes while fending off invasive questions from the high schoolers. Overall; he had to admit he was still excited about each day and those naive dreams he started out with still burned somewhere in his depths.

Power

Bailey's power is induced paralysis. Through the power of his touch, Bailey is able to momentarily render the muscle and nerves in a state of paralysis, which applied to a major muscle such as the heart can prove to be fatal. Otherwise it can leave the victim subject to the loss of movement, speech and even feeling.

Other

Bailey is legally blind in his right eye due to a fire cracker incident when he was six. He has some vision without his glasses but mostly just vague shapes and some color. His left eye has near perfect vision but his depth perception is shot which leaves him to bumping into things or dropping objects he simply meant to put down.

Arthur Seymour

Arthur Seymour

Height: 5' 9"

Age: 25 (born 11 October, 1992)
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual

History: Born and raised in England to a Welsh mother and an English father, Arthur grew up with a split nationality which could only be properly described as 'British'. At home equally in any part of Great Britain, although his parents reside in the richer counties of the south, he has moved around several parts for education and work before settling in the southern, and affluent, city of Bath.

At a young age he refused the opportunity to attend a prestigious selective (grammar) school in the next town over, despite passing the exam he was almost forced to do by his primary school, on the grounds that he disagreed with the elitism of the whole affair. His parents were both politically active and proudly called themselves social activists, despite their careers being traditionally the reserve of the very conservative and right-leaning upper classes.

He went to the University of Cambridge on a scholarship, his parents rich enough to pay his tuition in full so that he wasn't saddled with debt, and left with a First Class Honours in history before joining the department of History in the small, rural Welsh coastal town of Aberystwyth as a research lecturer. He teaches primary school (7-11) children two days week and the rest he spends giving lecturers to undergraduates at the university or following up on his own research projects.

Conscious of the contact he has with students, children and other at risk groups, he immediately checked in with a doctor about the illness he had been experiencing to seek advice on how to best avoid spreading it if his ailment was infectious. A day later and the people in bio-hazard suits appeared informing him that he was to be taken to a secure facility because his illness was more than it seemed.

Power: Hydrokinesis - the ability to shape or control water. While not a particularly original ability, it suits Arthur well due to its reliability and flexibility in almost all circumstances. At the lowest level he can move small bodies of water (like a cup of water) but will be able to steadily increase the volume of water he can control as well as the precision to which he can control it, shape it and even change its state.

Eliza Nyko

ELIZA NYKO

Face Claim:

My Hider

Age: 22 (Dec. 15 1994)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Height:5’7
Weight:130lb
History:
Born to a powerful family in upstate New York, Eliza had wealth, luxury, and status. She was privileged with the best education money can buy. Yet despite all of that she didn’t have power. Her older sister, Elaina, was the rightful heir to the family wealth and power. Power that controlled and influenced half of New York. It was safe to say Eliza was envious of her sister. She would then spend most of her life trying to prove her worth, proving she can be better than her sister. It ended up creating a rift between the two sisters, and causing both to become extremely vain. And through all the backstabbing, the one-upping, the ass-kissing, it seemed as if Eliza was winning the favor of their father. But before any decision was made, a car accident claimed the life of Mr. Nyko, leaving everything, all the wealth and power to Elaina and Eliza’s dream of control was shattered.
Heartbroken and defeated, Eliza wanted nothing to do with New York. Something that Elaina was happy to arrange. With that Eliza was sent to the other side of the country, but Eliza lived more lavishly in California, in a desperate effort to drown out the humiliation that followed her from NY.
Power:
Possession: Ability to take control and talk through a non-living/inanimate object. She must touch the object in order to “possess it”, her conscience then moves from her body to the object allowing her to control and move the object on her own. Since she has almost no control of this power, there are times where she accidentally/unwillingly possesses an object. She hasn’t figured out a solid way to willingly go back in her body but at the moment the only way back to her body is if someone breaks the object. (So if you see a talking pencil rolling down the hallway don’t question it and snap it.)
Other:
Never worked a day in her life other than networking connections at parties.
For some reason pencils always trigger her power and so Eliza avoids them like the plague.
Doesn’t favor commitment since all her relationships up to now ended badly.

Marcus Todd Bradley

^Accurate!

Name:

Marcus Todd Bradley

Age:

20 - May 9th 1997

Gender:

Male

Sexuality:

Asexual

Appearance:

\\5ft 8in - 140lbs\\
Marcus looks tired. Bags beneath his eyes could display the contents of a hardworking life-- lower-middle class and full of farming and fieldwork. A crown of dreadlocked hair rests upon his head, flowing down to his shoulder-blades, and usually held back only by sheer luck or the occasional hairband. Marcus has a lithe figure, unimpressive in height, that possess the work muscle for plowing. All of his facial features could be described as weak, rounded, a little feminine, and almost handsome. He walks about with his hands in his pockets and abysmal posture-- actually having developed a permeate curvature of the spine from constant slouching. His skin is the dark brown of freshly turned soil and bears scars around the elbows and knees from plenty of childhood roughhousing.

History:

Marcus was born and raised in Corinth-- a farming town no one could find on a map. He is the oldest of four children. All his life, he has worked the fields at his mother's side, focused on learning everything he possibly could from her. Marcus took it to heart when, one day, a farm down the road burned down, killing the one person responsible for maintaining the field, and leaving the family without any way to recover income. Marcus has sought to learn the trade and to educate his siblings in that regard as well.

He's lived an uneventful life-- home schooled with early starts to his days and late nights. His mothers raised him as well as they could, though they often struggled to make ends meet. As soon as he was able, Marcus took a job at a local grocery store and did as much as he could to bring in funds to the household. Everything was going well up until Marcus became ill. Soon after, they came from him, explaining that he needed to go with them to live in the facility. Though his parents told him not to worry about their situation, Marcus still couldn't help but feel deep guilt at being removed from his household but, then again, they said it was for the best, right?

Power:

Tough Skin - His skin is resistant to cuts, scratches, and puncture wounds-- though they can still harm him with enough force.

Additional Information:

Thick Accent - The deep southern drawl is real, y'all.
Dark Aversion - Without a flashlight, Marcus finds darkness and night deeply unsettling.

Rachel Jones

Name: Rachel Jones

Height: 5'8" Hair: Blonde with a slight curl, about belly button length.
Eyes: A combonation of blue/green. Other: Rachel is slim, with a slightly althetic build.

Age: 20 Born on December 23
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual

History:
Rachel never knew much about her family. Her father vanished without a trace as soon as he found out that her mother was pregnant. When she was barely even 6 months old, Rachel's mother died of breast cancer. After her mother's death,, it was made clear that no one else in the family wanted to take responsibility for the baby so she immediately was sent into the world of foster care. Rachel was never adopted, but at 18 she left foster care to make it out on her own. With no one to help support her, Rachel had almost zero money so a higher education was never going to be an option. She began working 3 different jobs, and soon enough had the means to rent out a tiny apartment. Her entire life so far was just trying to get ahead of debt and just make ends meet.
Through her entire life, Rachel always seemed to be a resipient of other's pity. When you're an orphan I guess that just tends to happen. But she wasn't really sad, in her mind she had never really known her parents or family and there just wasn't enough time for self-pity. That was until she became sick with no idea what the cause was. Rachel didn't get sick, that was the weird part about it. She never had to take a sick day off of work in her life until now. Working three jobs was the only way that Rachel could support herself, there just wasn't time for her to be sick.

Power:
Healing - Though to start it is very weak and she can only heal small scratches and bruises on herself which basically goes unnoticed. Her body also fights off/minimizes sickness like the common cold.

As time goes on (we aren't at this point at all yet) and her powers become stronger, the healing comes with a cost. On her own body, healing requires a lot of energy. It can leave her feeling pretty drained, even more drained for more serious healing.
Eventually she can help heal other people which is even more costly to her own self. The injury/sickness that she attempts to heal transfers over onto her own body. However, she feels a more extreme version of the pain or sickness she is healing from the other person. Her body then heals itself. This causes crippling exhaustion for Rachel and, depending on the sickness/injury, though the other person will be mostly completely healed, she could potentially not even have the strength to heal herself.

Other:
-Rachel has a very self-sacrificing personality, she will do almost anything if it meant someone else would be happier for it.
-Loves food

Caebyn Danvers

Caebyn ( Bynie) Danvers

faceclaim!

"If you don't have something nice to say, then say something witty and sarcastic"

---

Age: 23; Febuary 14th 1994
Gender:Female
Sexuality:Bisexual
Appearance:Bynie is either all our nothing when it comes to her clothes, she's either wearing a cute ruffled dress or sweats.She has a weakness for cute things and cusses like a sailor, especially when she gets mad or excited. She's not initially very tall only standing at 5'3. She has never been in a serious relationship due to the 'flighty'ness instilled in her as a kid. She has a broad sense of humor and often cracks jokes soley for her own amusement

History:Bynie's parents separated when she was ten, but it wasn't a huge deal. She learned to live two separate lives based on whose house she was stuck at. The biggest issue was that they lived on opposite costs so her parents would swap every school year, one at her dad's, one at her mom's this caused her to not have very many close friendships.

She lived a pretty average , happy life until her dad remarried, the woman was closer to her age than his (but then again what can you expect from southern Cali) . For some reason the woman hated her, causing arguments between her and her dad over made up situations, this continues to this day. Bynie had been at her dad's visiting when the step-monster walked in on her vomiting. Running to her father about her being bulimic it took Bynie hours to convince her dad that she just wasn't feeling well, that it must be altitude sickness or something. By the next day the Bitch had convinced her dad she was pregnant. Peeing on a stick wasn't enough to discredit the accusations so just for the sake of making her step mother look stupid she went and got a blood test done to prove that she was not, in fact, pregnant. She just had a bug. Or so she thought until the suits came and picked her up the next day.

Power:Self- Mass Manipulation; she is able to shrink or grow herself

Athena Wilson

Human face claim

Name: Athena Wilson

Age: 22 | December 15th, 1994

Gender: Female

Sexuality: She believes she is Asexual

Personality: Athena is short and curt with most people, giving hardly anyone the satisfaction of having a full conversation with her. Her brutal honesty and lack of patience is due to having led all her life on the run with her mother. She had to learn the hard way that she could never have any real friends, or be close to anyone, because as soon as she'd get comfortable, they'd have to leave. Though she does have a lack of people skills, Athena loves children and animals. To her, they're all that's good in the world and loves their sense of innocence. Her trust is not easily given, but can be earned. Once she sees that certain people can be trusted, she will relax slightly, but still her peoples skills are poor and hopes that those around her will be patient with her.

Appearance: Standing at 5'6" with a slim build yet she is not petite, her eyes are the nearly the same as her father's, probably the only thing she got from him; blue. Her hair is long, brunette, and wavy, falling to her waist. Typically, Athena will be dressed in anything black, her hair almost always up either in a slick ponytail or a sock bun. She dresses in a matter that if anything were to happen, she'd be ready for it.

Powers: Athena has the ability to make herself sound and look like the loved one of whomever is around her. How she is able to do it is unknown. The theory that her father had come up with (and was correct about) was that Athena's mind would involuntarily read the minds of those around her and would pick a cherished person to imitate. Most likely it was a form of self-defense. Although it wasn't much to go on, it's what she was raised believing. Even though her father would simply say she would 'bewitch' those around her. To this day, Adriano continues to do research on this ability. Aside from this, a sense of minor telepathy is how it could be labeled as. This is how she is able to make herself sound and look like someone else. This ability is hardly powerful and will never grow to be anything more than a mere way for her primary ability to work. It runs in the family through the maternal side.

Weaknesses and limitations: Athena's ability is strictly defensive. She is unable to harm anyone with it. Once she uses her ability, she can only use it on one person. For example, if she is being attacked by a group of people, only one person from the group will be able to actually see and hear their loved one, but everyone else can see and hear Athena as herself. This typically will make the person almost act hypnotized and want to defend their 'loved' one. As for her telepathy, she will never be able to fully use it or understand it. She's still mastering her ability, so it will sporadically happen. This was the main reason that her and her mother had to move so frequently and she was home schooled.

Abilities: Athena has a talent with working with knives and blades. In a fight, she will prefer her blades rather than a gun. She can speak fluent Spanish, Greek, and of course English. She can also understand sign language. Besides that, she can make a mean grilled cheese.

Other: She doesn't like vulgar language so she would prefer not to use it.
 
History: Athena can not remember most of her youth. All she remembers is that she had been living with her mom, constantly on the move and always in very secluded and isolated areas. Only once of twice had she ever lived in an actual city, and that was only for a short amount of time. She never understood why they couldn't just settle down in one spot so that she could make friends and be normal like the other kids her age.
 
It wasn't until she was 14 that she truly understood why. Her power was nothing to mess around with, and since she had no control over it, they had to take their extra precautions. Whenever she had the chance, she'd always ask her mom about her father. The response would always be, "He chose work", and she never understood that either until she was in her teens. In her eyes, her father did not know how to handle a daughter with abilities and saw her as an abomination. Juliette, her mother, never stopped her from having these thoughts. The worse Athena thought of the man and her sister, the better, so that Athena would never get the idea of going after him.
 
For many years, Athena hated Adriano and Maribeth, although her mother said that it was not Mari's fault. Either way, Athena thought that Adriano chose Maribeth over her because her younger sister was 'normal'.

Cassius "Cas" Williams

Name: Cassius "Cas" Williams (Pronounced - Ka-see-us)
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Appearance: Cas stands at 6'1 and weighs about 190 pounds. He is muscular, but not bulky. Cas' body is that of an athletes. He is admittedly an attractive person and is definitely liked for his appearance. He is a favorite by many fans of his Football Club because he is the club's "Pretty Boy." He hair is long but usually in a messy fashion, long on top, buzzed on the sides. He has pale skin that is accented by vibrant blue eyes.

History:
Cassius was born to a low class family in southern Texas. Most of his area was hispanic and latino, so he grew up with a nontypical American culture. As most of his area was devoted to soccer (football), Cas also took a great liking to the sport. He found that he was naturally athletic and also possessed a great natural talent for the game. His potential drove him to train hard and constantly work to improve his game. In high school, he became the town hero for leading the school's team to win their conference championship. Thanks to this success, he was offered a spot at a club in Spain, right out of high school.

After playing for the Spanish club for three years, he was drafted to play with the Chicago Fire, an American MLS Club. Joining a profesional club gave Cas the opportunity to play for a six figure salary. With jut his mom to take care of, he made sure that she never wanted for anything. Even though he wasn't the star of the Chicago Fire, he was the secondary Right Forward, which allowed him plenty of playing time. His good looks also made him a fan favorite, but not all of the attention was positive. Many people thought he was an arrogant rich boy.

As his wealth slowly increased over the next three years, he gradually began to adapt to the negative things people said about him. He drove a fast car, bought expensive clothes, partied all the time, and did whatever (or whoever) he wanted. He slowly, but surely began to loose sight of his roots, much to his mother's behest. Even though he had changed, he still did everything to take of his mother.

During a week of intense training, Cassius noticed that he felt a little bit off, and he eventually developed some mild symptoms of what he assumed was a minor case of the flu. He brushed the signs off, and kept on as normal. A week later, when the symptoms kept persisting, he ignored them and decided to play in the match that day. In the 85th minute of the match, the score tied 1-1, Cas collapsed and passed out on the middle of the pitch. He was taken to the hospital for checks and tests, and they decided that he had severe symptoms of what was similar to the flu. Desperate to get back to playing as soon as possible, Cas reluctantly took the offer from the men in suits that offered him unconventional treatment.

Power:
Heightened Senses - Cassius' abilities ramp his senses up to an incredible sensitivity. His hearing is as good as a bat's, his smell as good as a bloodhound, and his sight as good as an eagle. His heightened senses also give him rapid reaction time to events around him. However, due to the power of his senses, he is very vulnerable to sensory overload.

Thomas Silias Falch

Thomas Silias Falch

Nickname:

Tommy

Age:

21. Thomas was born on the 14th of March, 1996.

Birthplace:

Lillehammer (Norway)

Sexuality:

Straight-ish

Spoken Languages:

Norwegian, English, some Swedish.

History:

Thomas was born in the far north of Norway on the 14th of March to Marie Elisabet and Stefan Flach, a couple of caring, loving and unprepared parents, as he was somewhat of an accident. They have never had any second thoughts about keeping him, but they wish they had been more prepared for the daunting task it would be to raise a child.

In the early years, everything was going peachy. Tommy grew up just like any other kid, going to school, doing homework, playing football (not by choice), making friends, getting into petty fights, and he was the best paper airplane maker in his class; they just flew better than the others. And, at home, he had two loving parents that did their best to take care of him and provide the things he needed. He had no complaints, and they were the center of his world.

Years passed by rather quickly, and towards the end of Tommy's schooling, he got drafted into the military. And so, just a week after graduation, he was whisked away to a military base halfway across the country to serve for 18 months, with only the occasional weekend or week off to visit family and friends. He expected it to be hard, but after just a month at the base, he started enjoying it. He enjoyed the people, the exercises, and all the weird stuff he got to take part in.

Tommy ended up only staying for 16 out of those 18 months as a strange sickness crept its way into him. At first, it felt like the flu, the slight fever and annoying cough spoke to that, but as time went, it just kept getting worse. His body temperature started fluctuating wildly, he struggled to keep food down, and eventually, he started blacking out. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but there were no doctors that could make heads or tails of what was going on, that was until the people in the bio-suits showed up. They offering to take Tommy to a place where they could treat him properly, and Tommy was willing to say yes to anything as long as it made all this go away.

Powers:

Cloaking - The power to hide objects and subjects from sight, essentially turning them invisible. However, this power is incredibly draining, and if Tommy wants to cloak something he has to be in contact with it. He also has the ability to render himself invisible, but only if he remains stationary, any movement will break the invisibility. Other weaknesses are that even tho the object or subject is hidden from sight, they can still be heard, smelled or felt.

Eli O'dell

Name: Eli O’dell

Age:  21 years | June 6th, 1996.

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Bisexual.

Appearance:

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Green

Height: 6’2

Weight: 175 lb. (79.4 kg)



History: Fearing the coming end of days heralded by the y2k bug, in the spring 1995 a congregation of christian extremist formed the Saint Loyld's agricultural retreat in Elkhart County Indiana, Eli's parents chief amongst these founding members, gifting their considerable wealth to facilitate its construction. Members of the commune believed that mankind had grown distant from god through technology, and only those who abandoned the luxuries of the modern era would be spared the coming destruction.

For a while, the commune was a wonder to the young Eli. Days spent helping his mother and father in the fields, nurturing endless fields of green and golden corn and the jewel red tomatoes shining in springtime warmth. The modest education from the kindly reverend Loyld (who served as the communes teacher and spiritual guide) and close friendships with their Amish neighbors, brought together through their humble life styles and christian fellowship. He remembers, with no small fondness, the faceless dolls he would sometimes received as gifts from the young girls of their neighboring communities.

However, the inevitable dooms day soon dawned on the small community. And then passed with no fire, no planes falling from the sky, no screams of the unfaithful to cower from. Nothing that the small community had prepared for. Reverend Llyod attempted to assuage the more vocal members of the commune, assuring them that the day of judgement WAS coming as assuredly as the sun will rise. However, many elected to leave the commune after this, feeling that their spiritual leader was nothing more than a snake oil's salesmen.

The coming years were trying on Eli. The mood had decidedly soured in the community and they increasingly isolated themselves from their neighbors, much to his disappointment. His education all but halted as Reverend Lloyd took and increasingly active roll in defusing the strained air that permeated through their home, often through spiritual revere. And his fathers increasing agitations of feeling trapped by the community that 'robbed' him did little to help his home life, especially as the town coffers began to run empty. Even the simple pleasures he'd taken in farming vanished as the task evolved from spiritual duty to a necessary task done simply to keep the town alive.

Slowly he began to loath living in what was now called Lloyd's Town and began to shut himself off from the rest of the town, though he saw little chance to really leave. In what few opportunities he had to go to neighboring town for supplies, he'd marvel with almost childlike awe at what modest technology he could get his hands on (smartphones in particular were nothing short of a small miracle to him). And when he occasion struck, he'd sneak small textbooks in from the outside, though he'd often struggle with more complex subjects (especially those which were counter intuitive to his faith). Despite attempts, he made few friends on these trips due in part to his tendency to be overly blunt with others and somewhat anachronistic and faith centric views. He tried to break himself away from these tendencies, but even he would admit it was a painfully slow process, most because he could not shake the fear that, even for all that happens, that Reverend Llyod's teachings may very well be right. After many failed attempts (one in particular where he accidentally red lined a poor tourist's mustang while attempting to learn how to drive) he gave up, and now hesitates occasionally to speak to people he knows very well for fear of offending them somehow.

Initially he'd thought the illness was nothing more than a spell of spiritual weakness and did his best to ignore the scratchiness of his throat and the lethargic weight that seemed to rest itself on his chest. But when the visitors asking to take him away, he was more than happy to play it up in front of family. He'd thought of leaving many times, but only now did he have an adequate excuse. And by god, he was not going to let it slip him by.

Power:
Crystal shaping: Eli is able to manifest and control a unique form of crystal with a soft green hue. He can change the hardness of the crystal at will, though currently cannot surpass a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale. The crystals are highly conductive of both heat and electrical currents and are slightly luminescent, but are otherwise mundane.

As of now the maximum he can manifest and control is 60 cubic centimeters of crystal, after which he needs to rest. Controlling previously made samples do not seem to drain him as much.

As his powers develop, he'll be able to manipulate much larger volumes of crystal with little rest, however (due to the material in question), he's not able to create anything other than rudimentary shapes (columns, blocks, spikes excreta).
