[CHAR] The Blessing of a Curse [Always Accepting]

070705

Name: Axel 070705
Appearance: Long, dark brown hair, pale skin, tall for his age at 6-foot-even. He wears a black t-shirt and black denim jeans with a fishing-line string tied to 3 dark blue feathers that hang from his neck. He has no skin abnormalities.
Personality: At first glance, Axel is the fun-loving, hard-headed, general class-clown/meathead/nerd who can escape his cell easily. Because he's never caused any real damage or gone overboard with his trouble, and goes back to his room when it's all said and done, he's usually just chased around and shot at with non-lethal rounds, both because they don't want to seriously hurt him and because metal bullets give him more ammo. He treats the other patients with calm respect, until they give him a reason not to, and is extremely kind to younger kids, trying to act like an older brother. He plays dumb but it's possible to see his true genius if you look hard enough.
Abilities: Metal Manipulation: 30 pts
Doctor: Dr. Turner

050507

Name: Hayden 050507
Appearance: He is an average height, very muscular, 16-year-old boy, with blond hair and green eyes. He keeps his hair cut high-and-tight for the military look. He wears the normal blue Trainee uniform. He has scars on his hands resembling burn marks from fire (left) and electricity (right).
Personality: Hayden is a strict, no-nonsense kind of guy who would rather spend time training than goofing off. Because of his maturity and natural leadership, he has assumed the "leader" role amongst the Trainees.
Abilities: Pyrokinesis: 5 pts / Elektrokinesis: 5 pts / Imbuement: 20 pts [Hayden can charge any weapon he holds with fire or electricity for additional damage.]
Doctor: Dr. Sing and Dr. Hayes.
Corruption: Killed a fellow subject in self-defense.

040105

Name: Kathrine 040105
Appearance: Her hair is completely white and has been cut into a bob with side swept bangs to frame her heart shaped face. Her features are soft, from a button nose to Cupid’s bow lips, only her grayish blue eyes are the “sharpest” feature she has that give off the vibe that she can see into people despite her long lashes giving her an innocent appearance.

She’s very pale, and has a few scars, like at her earlobes where earrings have been snatched from her ears to the line across her neck that people speculate as the reason she’s mute. Standing at only 5’4”, she is fairly small and has a violin type body with love handles on her wide hips. Her nails are slightly grown out and are normally left unpainted.

Mostly wears large sweaters that engulf her frame as well as hide her shorts almost and high socks that stop at her thighs. Though she favors one hoodie in particular that has a large front pocket and cat ears attached to the hood itself, it’s white with a pastel pink (left) and blue (right) sleeves. Often wears a choker of some kind around her neck to cover the scar.

Is forced to wear gloves by the staff to cover her hands so it’s more noticeable when she goes out of her way to have skin contact with things.

Personality: Kathrine, or as she prefers to be called by anyone who listens, Kitty, is an escape artist who detests being there. The attempts seem to be something she has always done, but they might hear her voice chime in their head telling them each time the thought arises that she started doing it because they took her voice away. Not that she ever says how, but rumors spread easily when there isn’t much else to do but follow the same routine day in and day out.

She isn’t one for joking around outside of being sarcastic, but she doesn’t try to dampen other people’s fun. It’s rare to see her interact directly with people when she isn’t forced to, but being in the general vicinity is more the norm. And those around her never seem to suffer from any accidents despite how some of the younger kids are very clumsy when they get spooked from suddenly noticing she’s there.

Whether it is actually her doing or not, she wouldn’t say and those who dislike her privacy invading abilities never would attribute anything positive to her anyway. Her escape attempts have lessened now that she’s been allowed to read new books after she finished the ones offered to the rest of the kids. She enjoys reading and puzzles, anything intellectually stimulating and distracting without requiring another person is really how she passes her time since she keeps her nose out of other people’s business. Well, she tries.

Abilities: Telepathy (15pts), Telekinesis (7pts), Psychometry (8pts)

022805

Name: Laika 022805

Appearance: Laika resembles a small, slender, rather sickly-looking individual. She is angular in figure and lacks much in way of muscle definition. Picking her up doesn't look like it would be very difficult.
Her hair is dark, inky in colour and reaches down to her lower back.
Thee things are a bit less immediately noticeable than the artificial aspects of Laika.
Numerous cables hang down from the back of her skull and shoulders, and matte painted white plates are set into either side of her forehead. The irises of her eyes are white and glow in low light, being comprised of photoreceptive cells rather than biological material.
A ridge of metal runs down her back, level with her spine.
She is generally seen wearing compression garments that cover most visible skin below her neck. Sometimes other roomier clothes are worn over the top.

---

Personality: Laika is, on paper, a highly intelligent subject. Her use in the project stemmed from her high IQ and capacity for handling large amounts of information. However whatever has been done to make her into what she was in the present has resulted in a person, or creation, that doesn't have a great deal or social or emotional intelligence.

As far as many of the staff are concerned, Laika isn't a lot more than a machine in human shape that carries out instructions without question or comment. Any more extended interaction might reveal that that isn't quite the case. She appears very emotionally flat and often 'speaks' in stock phrases, making it quite difficult to read what she is thinking or indeed how much active thinking is going on.

One could take it as a genuine mistake when she has opened gates or destroyed consoles, or one might take it as a deep-seated resentment towards her creators. It's quite hard to tell, and it probably wouldn't benefit Laika to make it clear either way.

---

Abilities: Technopath (30) - An comparatively early iteration, Laika is extremely specialized in one area, designed as a form of targeted support for more physical combat projects, an all-seeing eye that is able to hack any security system, see through any camera and unlock any door.

This has, largely, been successful. Laika is an extremely powerful technopath whose abilities make most any electronics in her vicinity an effective extension of her own senses. If there is a camera nearby, she is able to see through it. If there is a speaker, she can project a pitch-corrected facsimile of a voice. In theory, she could operate most machinery in her general area. However, for security reasons and inhibitor was installed that prevents Laika from gaining full control of large systems without a physical cable connection into it, something that leaves Laika static and potentially vulnerable whilst her full focus is on the work.

020108

Name: Vale 020108
Appearance:
Vale is a pretty small young man, standing at about 5'5", and not going to get any taller. Skinny and small, he oftens uses his smallness to his advantage, hiding as often as he can from whoever lurks around the corner.

Vale's hair is long, falling to about his mid-back when it's not tied up. It's a light blue tone, unnatural but brilliant. More often than not, it's tied into a ponytail, falling over his shoulder. Sometimes it's braided, and other times it's pulled into a bun. His left eye is covered by a black bandage, Vale never speaking of the reason why. His left eye is focused and shown, a brilliant blue color, close to the color of his hair.

Personality: Vale is a very quiet boy. Preferring the company of himself, it's hard to get him to warm up to people. Really an open book though, it's hard to hide his disdain for others behind fake words. Lying was never a strong suit for the young man, and as he's grown older, it's gotten harder and harder. Often getting flustered at the smallest things, he's often seen with a red hue on his face, and an angry pout as he tries to deny the fact that he's embarrassed.

He would rather tuck away with plants than with people. They're better friends than he's ever had, is his philosophy, but he also has never actually tried to connect to another human being. Humans are scary, unknown entities, while plants are exactly what they are.

Abilities: Botanical Communication (10pts), Chlorokinesis (20pts)
Doctor: Dr. Ward

011122

Name: Jain 011106
Appearance: Jain stands 5’1” with the figure of a gymnast. Her hair is shimmering waves of gold that falls to the small of her back, her eyes are such a green they must be artificial and her ears come to small points.
Personality: Jain likes to keep to herself but not because she’s shy but afraid she’ll make people nuts talking too much. Athletic she’s always stretching if she’s not in motion
Abilities: Teleportation: Self and Others
Jain can at present teleport to any location she can see, or has spent time meditating at least 1 hour in. The memory lock lasts only 1 week before she must repeat the meditation. She can also teleport others including objects not exceeding 6 yards of displacement or 1,000 pounds this includes the willing and unwilling. If Jain tries to teleport herself or another person into an object it causes her to be struck by a backlash dulling her focus and preventing her teleporting for 20 minutes.
Because she can teleport, Jain wears a Blindfold when moving through areas deemed a security risk because of her abilities.
30 pts.
Doctor: Dr. Schroder
Other: Jain was born with her ears pointed due to a maternal genetic quirk that appears from time to time in her matrilineal bloodline.

032307

Name: Lance 032307

Appearance: He is about 5 ft tall weighing 98 lbs., on the slim side. He wears khakis, sneakers, and button-down shirts with different patterns (Stripes, zigzags, polka dots, etc.). He has pale skin, black hair that he lets grow out enough to cover his eyes. He has blue eyes and requires corrective lenses because he dislikes contacts. He doesn’t care for or have jewelry or tattoos. He is as active as he can be.

As a precaution, he has a heavy lead suit to move from room to room, so traveling without it is a privilege.

Personality: He is a people pleaser who doesn’t want to make those around him angry or upset to the point where he will sacrifice his own happiness and sometimes safety to achieve it. He will easily fall to peer pressure even if his personal morals would conflict with it. He’ll treat everyone with respect and will accept blame justifying how his involvement might have caused the problem regardless of evidence. He enjoys walking, reading, and just being out of the room whenever that’s possible. He doesn’t like causing trouble.

Abilities: Electromagnetic wave manipulation (15 Pt), Electromagnetic wave generation (10 Pt), Radiation immunity (5 Pt)

He is capable of producing medium ranged waves easily ranging from UV, infrared, and visible light. He has to exert more effort for microwave and radio, and even more than that to reach x ray and gamma.
He can increase/decrease wave length into other forms from an existing source more easily than producing them.
Manipulation includes blocking waves so he can essentially create literal black out zones.
This does not give him x-ray or infrared vision.

Doctor: Dr. Sing

[TheMushroomLord]

040309

Name: Felix – 040309
Appearance: Felix is a young boy of Chinese-Australian descent with straight black hair and brown eyes. His physical characteristics and build are all around average for his age, if marginally smaller than average, coming in at 140cm tall and weighing 36kg.

Felix’s most noticeable trait is his incredibly long hair, spanning well over half his body height, and surprisingly healthy if a bit of a mess. Rather than being the product of a choice on Felix’s part, his hair is the result of his ability making it impossible to cut.

As far as clothing goes, Felix doesn’t really understand or care about fashion and usually wears whatever’s available without question so long as it’s comfortable. Generally, this means that Felix ends up wearing very plain and simple clothing.

Personality: Felix is very timid, the kind of kid that struggles to talk to others and prefers to keep to himself, preferably somewhere where no one will notice him. He finds it very hard to open up to people and tends to view anyone he doesn't know well as someone that might be dangerous. In the rare event where he does get to the point where he considers someone a friend he can trust he tends to anchor onto that person for support, becoming very reluctant to separate.

Felix is also pretty smart, especially considering his age, he catches on to things quickly and has a nearly insatiable curiosity, one of the few things that can coax him out of his shell. Unfortunately, this intelligence also manifests itself as a nasty tendency to overthink things, often to the point of working himself into a panic over otherwise inconsequential things. Strangely, in spite of his overthinking Felix exhibits very little fear when it comes to the prospect of pain or injury, likely as a result of growing up with his ability.

Thanks to growing up surrounded by superhumans, and his general lack of interactions with people in general, Felix has ended up with a very warped idea of what’s normal. He's of the impression that superhuman abilities are the norm, not the exception, having a very skewed view of what falls within the range of an ordinary person being able to do or survive.

Abilities:

• Degeneration (5 pts): Any part of Felix’s body that dies or is separated from his body, by natural processes or otherwise, will begin to decay with a half-life of about 3 seconds.
  As material degenerates, most of the matter is absorbed as energy to power Felix’s regenerative ability, though some is lost as heat. In cases where only a small amount degenerates the heat generated is negligible, however with larger quantities the heat can quickly become more severe. As Felix possesses no abnormal resistance to heat, it is possible for his degeneration to hurt him should he sustain enough damage in a short period of time.
• Regeneration (25 pts): With the exception of some natural processes, whenever Felix is damaged in any way his body immediately begins to rapidly restore itself to a healthy, undamaged state. The energy and material needed to facilitate this regeneration is provided by Felix’s degeneration ability.
  As a side effect of his regeneration, Felix can endure a number of normally harmful conditions, like physical exhaustion or starvation, without any real consequence, though in most cases such conditions remain painful.
  Strangely enough, Felix’s finger and toenails seem to be unaffected by his regenerative abilities, healing like a normal person’s when damaged instead of regenerating.

011305

Name: David (011305)

Appearance: David's skin is chalky grey, and his arms have small thorns protruding from the elbows up to his wrists. David's has white pupiless eyes, and no hair on his head. David is neither handsome nor ugly, but average in appearance.

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 145lbs

Clothing: Outfitted with a skin tight grey body suit that covers Jacob's body from the neck down, his arms are outfited with special restraints to prevent him from extending his thorns.

Personality: Jacob keeps to himself and tries to avoid getting close to his peers, because he fears that they think he is a monster. Jacob is soft-spoken and introverted, he spends a lot of his past time in his room and people have heard him sing but he denies it since it would embarrass him to admit it. He wasn't always closed off though, when Jacob was young he was very close friends with another child but at the time his ability to rot whatever he touched wasn't known to the scientists. He killed his friend and it traumatized him, now David suffers from social anxiety and PTSD from the event and he constantly has nightmares about that day yet he keeps the death a secret from his peers out of fear that it will alienate them.

Abilities:

-Phyllokinesis-

Decomposition Manipulation
-Rot Inducement: Whatever organic matter that comes into contact with David rots, and dies if in contact with him over an extended period of time. When vegetable matter is rotted it is absorbed by David and converted into nutrients and sustains his hunger. 15 Points.

Thorn Physiology
-Thorn Protrusions: David has small black thorns protruding from his elbows up to his wrists, the thorns can be extended out an inch to stab things. 15 Points.

Doctor: Dr. Ward
Other: Guards dealing with David wear full body shielding when interacting with him, and he is clothed in a full body jump suit that covers him from the neck down.

071605

Name: Brayden 071605

Appearance: Brayden stands at 5'10, being slightly lanky, but not completely devoid of muscle. He has short, spiked charcoal-black hair, with most of its spikiness concentrated near the back of his head. His skin is mostly of a pale complexion, though it gets darker along his arms, almost as if they were burnt. His eyes are a piercing and cold blue shade, and are partially obscured by his hair at times.

For clothes, his most distinguishing piece of apparel is a torn-up, partially singed sleeveless black jacket, worn after years of living in the compound. Beyond that, he wears a white muscle shirt, deep blue jeans that are torn up and partially seared near his ankles, and thick black boots that seem a bit too big for him.

Outside of testing, he is forced to wear a stainless steel mask over his mouth, a contraption of the same material made to keep his arms locked up, reaching just below his elbows, and heavy steel boots. He was forced to wear these due to 'negative behavior', putting it lightly, to ensure he doesn't endanger staff or guards.

Personality: Brayden is a rather chaotic force among the children of the 'menagerie', as he tends to call the lab they rather sadly call home. Ever since his powers emerged, he opposed the hierarchy presented through the doctors and guards, rather violently in fact, and needless to say it never ended well for him. If it weren't for the impressive potential of his abilities, he likely wouldn't have been tolerated for this long.

Beyond his attitude about the situation at large, in contrast to his power, Brayden seems largely cool and collected, perhaps even apathetic. He always regards the other kids the exact same; completely neutral to their existence, border-lining callousness with his attitude. However, most of the other kids know he isn't a direct threat to them, as he typically keeps others out of his attempts of revolt or escape. Whether that's out of kindness or simply not wishing to deal with others, it's hard to say...

Abilities:

Flame Generation: Brayden can generate excessive amounts of fire from himself, though they typically come from his mouth, hands, or feet. The flames can reach levels of heat that can melt through solid concrete and most metals, and even in more casual use can severely burn or melt through other living beings. However strong his power is though, it comes with a catch... (25 Pts)

Fire/Heat Resistance: Brayden has some natural resilience to fire and heat, but the main issue is that it isn't enough for him to manage his own firepower. When he's using his power at high-capacity, he himself begins to burn up, and while he's never been forced this far, excessive use of his power at high-capacity could permanently burn or melt parts of his body. (5 Pts)

Doctor: Dr. Sing

010208

Name: Melia 010208

Appearance: Melia, after years of use of her ability, is...Notably bigger than most other subjects. Standing at a menacing 6'2 even prior to activating her power, and extraordinarily muscled, she could put even some of the toughest kids in the compound to shame. Her eyes are sharp with a vibrant orange shade, typically swirling in a toxic mixture of madness and adrenaline after she gets riled up (which doesn't take much). She also has long blonde hair reaching to her midriff, though it is messy and unstyled, giving her a feral look. Her skin tone is white, though not too pale. While it seems to have no bearing on her power, her teeth are all razor-sharp, giving one the sense that she's some kind of predator through a smile alone.

Speaking physically, her body is impressive, packing musculature even professional athletes would be jealous of. This is without her power, which would blow her inspiring physique to even higher heights, nearly increasing her height by a whole foot and swelling her already terrifying muscles.

Clothing-wise, she keeps it simple, since she tends to need new clothes every time she uses her ability. Thus, Melia simply wears a black tank-top and grey sweatpants, and while she normally avoids footwear, if she is wearing something there, it's typically some type of heavy-duty military boots.

Personality: For as long as Melia has lived here, all she has known is violence and combat...And she thrives off of it. She lives for every fight, and she only lives to fight. For her, the greatest joy she can experience is being able to dominate and destroy others through her own power, and it is this ideology that has made her needlessly ruthless...And undeniably powerful.

While she is mostly known for this wild, battle-crazed persona, there is a bit more to her. Melia has a...Vague sense of honor. She never wastes time with those unwilling to fight, and if someone she's beating to a bloody pulp fighting seems ready to give up, she'll stop too. In essence, she's not going to attack or fight others who aren't willing to fight back tooth and nail just like she would (beyond orders, of course, but being ordered against this creed of hers is highly irritating for her, and could easily result in...Backlash, we'll call it).

When not in a fighting mood (which is incredibly rare), or she actually manages to get her 'fix' of fighting as it were, Melia can be much more calm and collected than others would expect. When not using her free time exerting her ability or exercising, she's usually found reading or meditating, both being unexpected activities for her to have interest in. Still, she almost always comes off as stand-offish, and most aren't willing to try and interact with her due to her explosive temper that can crop up.

Abilities:

Muscle Augmentation (30 Pts.) - Melia is able to engorge her muscles for fairly long periods of time, around five to ten minutes if used in short bursts, or it can last for up to four hours continuously. During this time, her musculature will surge alongside her size, greatly enhancing speed and strength, as well as superficially enhancing her durability (weapons and the like will easily pierce through her skin, but usually struggle to bypass her enlarged and strengthened musculature).

This ability is sometimes so strong it even causes her muscles to burst out from her body. While that process is painful, Melia is rather familiar with it, and by doing this, the overall power of her ability can continue to skyrocket without issues as her muscles grow even larger and more powerful once freed from her confining body. The user can recover from this ordeal rather fast (at least by normal human standards), but it typically takes at least a few days.

Otherwise, the only other limiting factor of this ability is that extended usage over a long period of time can cause extreme muscle fatigue, leaving its user much weaker than they'd naturally be for a day or so.

A byproduct of this ability is that after every use, the natural musculature of its user is always a bit stronger than it was before, meaning even without it properly activated, the user typically performs at either peak human or low-superhuman standards for physicality.

Doctor: Dr. Schroder.

Corruption: Originally one of the biggest thorns in the side of the Doctors due to her uncontrollable and destructive nature, they soon found out a simple answer; by making her a Trainee, it granted her the opportunity to 'stretch her legs', as it were, against other powered kids who caused trouble. Now, while she's still just as much of a wild card, that same unkempt power is now being used by the facility to subjugate the other children. She is well-known for being one of, if not the most violent and brutish of the Trainees, so having her show up is bad news.

Weapons: N/A, lets her fists do the work.

020706

Name: 020706, Awauri

Appearance: Awauri’s face shape is an oval, with round eyes and a slightly upturned nose, with a heavy bottom lip. Both of her eyes are a glowing yellow, the color seemingly transforming into gold in the night. Her ears are pointed, due to unknown reasons. Her hair is blond in color. At the top, it's black, strands of lighter colored hair mixed with it. Her hair's texture is fluffy and smooth in appearance, but it'll tangle up very easily. She keeps her hair long enough to pass her shoulders.

The hair, if you needed a clearer visual

She prefers wearing a black, sleeveless shirt with a white sleeved shirt under it. Her pants are white and her shoes are a more blue-ish black than her top shirt.
Personality: Mari has the perfect, laid back attitude, being passive in most situations. Mari won't tolerate listening to orders and commands unless she feels it’s necessary. She especially likes to challenge people, even if she knows she doesn't stand a chance to them. If you give her something to do, there's a large chance she won't do it, as opposed to her attitude. She has a sort of glance that denotes when you’ve really annoyed her.
She can stay extremely calm in life-threatening situations, not even flinching at gunpoint. She even will go to great lengths to catch a fleeing enemy, even in very vulnerable and extreme situations.
Abilities: Bone Manipulation: 25 pts, Enhanced Regeneration: 5 pts
Doctor: Dr. Turner and Dr. Grey
