APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

---

APPEARANCE

The terrifying titan of a man, Abel is a man clad in black armor with strange symbols on it. Most notably, the symbol of the snarling dog across his chest. He gives off a terrifying presence, one of obvious danger. Nobody knows what he looks like underneath the armor, and with some of the feats he's capable of, it's questionable if he's even human. He stands at seven feet, and eleven inches, tall, and has a very wide, and muscular build. Even apparent from underneath that armor of his. His wide frame shows in his strength. His deep voice carries power, even though it's electronically distorted to hide his identity, or any leads to him.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

■ Ruthless.
■ Honor-Bound.
■ Mysterious.
■ Antipathetic.
■ Unemotional.
■ Determined.
■ Philosophical.
■ Doubting.

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

It's unknown just who exactly Abel is, what he wants, or where he came from. He just appeared a few years ago, launching a massive terrorist attack on Cairo, and kept the attacks rolling. He's a widely feared person due to his actions across the world. No one knows what his motivations are, but he's definitely working for a higher power.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

FIGHTING STYLE

Abel is definitely a powerful, and dangerous, opponent, wielding an insanely high ki. Which practically equals an overwhelming offense and defense. He can use his ki to infuse his attacks with enough strength to give even the strongest ki warriors a thrashing, along with tanking other blows. Abel himself uses an unidentified fighting style (very similar to Combat Sambo), but, also uses his arsenal of weapons he carries around with him. A Revolver, A Light Machine Gun, and a Grenade Launcher. He uses both in conjunction with each other to tear foes apart with his powerful grabs, and blows, and snipe foes from a distance with his various firearms. It makes him incredibly dangerous at all ranges. In addition, his suit of armor is incredibly high-tech. Coming with a system of scanners (which can sense ki), electronic defense systems, and more .

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Fire

Abel fires the weapon he is currently using. Which can damage even the strongest of ki users.

■ Grenade-Toss

Abel reaches down to his belt and throws a grenade at his opponent. It can either be a fragmentation grenade, incendiary grenade, or flashbang.

■ The Jackal

The Jackal is the Abel's grabbing attack, in which he lunges for the nearest opponent with his hand outstretched. If it connects, he'll grab them from around the neck, and hold them above him. From here, he can do a variety of different moves. The most basic of all of them is merely throwing them.

■ No Mercy

The Abel powerslams the opponent into the ground, then stomps them hard as he can.

■ Shock

Holding them in the air, Abel administers an electric shock, before throwing them in a direction of his choice.

■ Execution

Abel grabs his weapon of choice with his free hand, and then lets off a volley into their midsection. Afterwards, he'll throw them (provided they aren't getting launched by the grenade launcher).

■ Crushing Impact

Abel punches the poor schmuck he's holding up into the air.

■ Stone-Wall

Abel puffs out his chest, raising his defense by a tenfold for a few moments. Allowing him to negate basic and special attacks for a moment.

■ Ramming Blow

Abel charges at his opponent with his shoulder forward, this powerful move would knock cars out of the way. While Ramming Blow is active, his defense goes up where nothing will interrupt him. He will be unstoppable, but not invincible.

■ Impact-Breaker

Abel cocks his fist back, and then does a highly telegraphed punch that is capable of shattering defenses.

■ Reflect

Abel's hand charges with ki (to the point where it glows), where he can absorb a ki-based projectile, and sends it flying back towards his opponent.

■ Tremor-Impact

Abel raises his foot up into the air, slamming it down with such impact that it sends a shockwave that'll leave anyone still standing staggering.

■ Iron

The Iron is a parry move in which Abel raises his hand up into the air. If someone hits him while he's guarding, he'll grab the offending limb, then punch/elbow them.

■ Terror from Below

Another counter-move. If someone is above Abel and tries to perform an air attack, he'll tank the blow, grab them, and slam them into the ground.

SUPER MOVES

■ Execution Howl.

As for his first super, Abel lunges forward in a grab similar to the Jackal. If he grabs onto them, he'll hold them over his head for a moment, before administering a brief shock, and slamming them to their knees. In this window, Abel will dramatically walk around them, before shooting them in the back with his revolver.

■ Grim Reaper

Another grab in which Abel lunges forward. He'll hold his enemy over his head... before delivering a hellish amount of electricity. This goes on for a few moments as Abel holds onto them, and when he stops, he slams them into the ground. And just as an insult, he stomps on them.

■ Impact-Hammer

Abel grabs onto a C4 bomb, and rushes forward, delivering a punch to his opponent. Whether or not the bomb connects, he'll detonate the explosive charge, and cause immense damage.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

Now, Abel is definitely a threat with all the tools and offensive options at his disposal, making him an up close titan. However, his biggest fault is that Abel lacks any mobility options whatsoever. He can easily be outmaneuvered by a fast foe, or even defeated by one. However, his defense is so great that'll be a task if someone comes in with speed alone.

Hatanaka Yoko

---

---

Full Name:
Yoko Hatanaka.
(The western way to arrange it)

Nicknames/Aliases:
N/A.

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Primary:
Pyromancery.

Student of Pyromancery

Secondaries of Interest
Weapon-Infusement, & Familiar Conjuration.

Description:
Definitely a tough girl. It's probably the permanent scowl on her face, or the enormous muscles she has. Yoko definitely looks like a bodybuilder. An adventurer of some kind, for sure. Even though she's barely more than five feet, the girl is intimidating due to her deposition, and the fact that she's ripped. That was all because of years upon years of martial arts training. She has a thick Japanese accent, but those familiar with Japanese (mostly natives of the nation) can quickly trace her accent to the Okayama Prefecture. Being a native of that city. Another thing they can tell is that she's a delinquent. Even though she originated in a nation that values politeness, she is very crass, and at times rude.

Because of her appearance, lots of people interpret Yoko for being a male. It's the muscles, and the rather androgynous face. Depending on her clothing, most people mould never realize she's a girl. And that's something that makes her die a little inside. What doesn't help is her atrocious fashion sense. However, the main thing that would give away her true gender is that Yoko's very chesty. At around 38F, puberty hit her very hard. Which goes well with her muscular frame.

Yoko is a native of Japan, obviously. Her skin is a golden-toned color that is darker than average due to receiving lots of sunlight. Regardless of what Yoko wears, she always has a long yellow headband around her neck. Dare touch this and you'll die.

Personality:
There's a lot of layers of Yoko. Let's start with the basics. Yes, she is brash, headstrong, and competitive. That was what she was taught as a girl. She is always looking for new challenges, and will do anything to improve herself as a person. Make herself above the others. While she is still young, and inexperienced, she definitely has a lot of drive that'd give even the strongest of Marchand a challenge! Beneath the surface layer, she is very family oriented, and takes their honor very seriously. Say what you will about Yoko, but say one ill word about her family, and she'll knock you out. She has a lot of pent up rage towards the other families. Because her own family were some of the best warriors in the war, that saved the collective asses of the magical community. And what did they get in return? Some other upstarts get council, and their actions are forgotten.


Skills:

Martial Arts: One of the Hatanaka family talents is their immense skill in martial arts, they have their own style called Hatanaka Karate. Which has been passed down to Yoko. It can roughly be called a mixture between Traditional Japanese Martial arts, and Judo, mixed with their innate talent with fire. Which creates a style that has a lot of punches and kicks, and grapples that can tear someone up. Yoko is naturally talented in this field.

Weaknesses:
Yoko is brash, angry, and impulsive. Her mouth (and her fist) gets her in a lot of trouble because she has a hard time controlling either. She is probably going to get into a lot of shit with the other people at the academy.

Her fashion sense is awful.

Brief History:
Okay, so I'm going to take a few liberties here with the lore here.

I imagine that the magical community, much like the real world, is separated into East and West. With the western magical community being what is seen in this roleplay, and the eastern being a relatively isolated communities separated by nations. Relatively staying out of the business of the west. That was until the Hatanaka family broke out of the cycle, and made contact several years before the war even started.

The Hatanaka family was a family that specialized in pyromancery. However, they created an entire martial art that was based around mixing magic, and the fist. They created Hatanaka Karate, and were regarded as some of the best fighters in Asia. When the war against the cult came around, the Hatanaka family were the ones that were the best prepared to fight due to their training. They were some of the front lines soldiers, and delivered the best results. They helped end the war.

And what did they get in return?

Nothing.

The contributions of the Hatanaka were largely forgotten as the other families prospered. Yoko was born before the war, and before she could even learn to talk, her mother was taken from her by the war. She was raised by her father, the head of the Hatanaka family, her uncle. With her five brothers being there for her. Yoko was the youngest of the Hatanaka family, being born just before the war started. She served as a grim reminder of what happened to her mother.

This, mixed with the silent rage that Hatanaka family had from not receiving the credit they deserve, planted the seeds of anger inside of Yoko. Who had great pride in her family's name. As she grew up, she learned the Hatanaka's style of martial arts, mixed with pyromancery training. Being around so many boys made her rather masculine, and she had thoughts of being the next head of the family. But, that was against their culture.

When the letter for Marchand came, it was decided that Yoko should go. Being the youngest and least experienced, she had a lot of learn that the Hatanaka family didn't know.

Yoko herself just wanted to put these upstarts in their place.

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Okay, over a hundred years ago, a massive war engulfed ancient Japan. Between the humans, and the Onis that they shared the nation with. Few know what actually sparked the war, as that was lost in time, but they felt the nation of Japan fall into disarray. Humans had numbers, but the Onis had raw strength. The war was in the favor of the onis, until a brave warrior named Hatanaka Takashi did the unthinkable... he ventured from Japan in search of a means to defeat them. He disappeared for years... before he returned with a sorceress from another land. This woman imprisoned the soul of the strongest Oni inside a sword. This sword was used to fight the war to a standstill, and a peace treaty was arranged between the two races; the Onis would claim the mountains as their own, while the humans get the rest of Japan.

This sword was revered as one of the many great Japanese treasures... Murakumo, the cursed blade of saviors.

Takashi bred a lineage of warriors, who were all trained in the ways of battle should another war with the Oni clan begin. While also keeping the ancient sword in safety. This lineage went from the father to the son, to the daughter... until Yoko was born. She was the latest line of warriors, and easily one of the brightest. However, before Yoko was even born, men came and stole Murakumo, raiding their compound. Her father, Hatanaka Goro, was killed in the raid. Leaving Yoko's grandfather to teach her all about the arts of the family.

However, her mother was left depressed and apathetic, and Yoko grew up angry that her father was taken from her. Her grandfather was probably not the best way to reign in Yoko's unruly behavior, and he kind of encouraged it. So, she kind of became a delinquent. In school, she would get into all sorts of trouble, and shamed the family's name at every turn... and generally an outcast. She just didn't gel with other people, but when she stepped inside her family's dojo, she felt at home. She was a talented martial artist, and a natural at the family's style. Her grandfather died just as her training was complete, and told her that she would be the defender of Japan.

But, his last dying wish was for Yoko to recover Murakumo, which Yoko promised to do. She felt proud... but then got a little bored. She was raised and trained to fight Onis, but they seemed content on their mountain. She was asked to find Murakumo, but she didn't have a single lead on it. So, Yoko would out to fight whoever the hell was out there to test her mettle, and make sure that when one of the two occurred, she'd be ready. From other martial artists, to samurais, and even Nomads that wandered in. She wasn't the best at this, but she prevailed in quite a few fights.

Soon, she learned that Murakumo had apparently been stolen by a foreigner, Jaden Raldo. Yoko didn't believe that Jaden was the one that stole it all those years ago, but she promised her grandfather that she would recover the sword. And God damn Yoko was going to do it. She prepared to set out, and live the life of a Nomad to find her family's sword...

... but a dark cloud fell over Japan.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

FIGHTING STYLE

Yoko was trained to be a warrior from the youngest age possible. She was in fact trained in the ways of the Samurai, and many other martial arts. Her specialty being Bōjutsu. Thus, Yoko wields a massive bo staff made out of wood she carved herself to make the perfect weapon for her. Due to the length of her staff, it allows her to strike at quite the distance. In fact, her fighting style revolves around just staying in that sweet spot where she's out of the range of the enemy, and just in range to fight where they cannot. Her strikes with her bo staff are quick, and quite damaging. Her specialty seems to be attacks that catch opponents off guard. However, she can mix up attacks with some pretty fierce kicks, and this leads to her other strength: her defense. Yoko has a variety of counters and parries, that can make an opponent think twice about a wild offensive attack. Which makes Yoko quite the threat. As apart of her Oni-slaying training, Yoko can ki-sense. It can help her track targets over a wide radius.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Ritual Dance

Yoko's counter move, she'll step back, and hold her staff above herself at an angle for a moment.
If the opponent attacks, she'll deflect the move, leaving them open for a few moments.

■ Tsuru Wind

Using her ki, Yoko will charge her feet, and hop up into the air so fast she'll be hard to track. A moment later, she'll appear from above her opponent, and dive downwards with her staff extended. Almost landing on them.

■ Tanuki Spin-Roll

Yoko will propel herself upwards, doing a roll with her staff extended. If anyone is unfortunate enough to be in the air, they'll be smacked several times.

■ Dragon Dive

If Yoko is in the air, she will dive downwards with her staff extended.

■ Tatsu Dance

Another counter move. Yoko will slam her staff onto the ground, and if the opponent hits it, she'll quickly do a full spin around on her staff, and use the momentum to kick them.

■ Tsuru Dance

Yoko will quickly spin her staff around at speeds where it just looks like a ring. Switching hands back and fourth, and doing loads of damage. However, it leaves her very open to attacks aimed at her feet.

■ The Cat's Claw

Yoko will quickly stab forward multiple times in the blink of an eye with her bo staff, and leave her enemies staggered. It is good for continuing, or beginning a combo.

■ Cat Dance

Similar to the Tatsu Dance, Yoko will hop on top of her staff. Projectiles (and certain melee attacks) will simply pass through her staff as she sits perched on top of it (Like a weird bird!). While she's susceptible to upper-cut moves, she can hop vast distances on top of her staff. She can also initiate a combo by hopping off, and swinging it downwards for a powerful attack.

■ Wings of the Butterfly

An initiation technique where Yoko swings her bo staff upwards, and launches her opponents up into the sky. From here, she can continue a combo.

■ Double Crane Kick

Yoko quickly hops up, and does a double-cartwheel, as any low-hitting attacks simply miss. This attack hits the opponent overhead, and does a lot of damage. But, the attack is very telegraphed, and punishable.

■ Carp Dance

If Yoko's opponent gets too close, she can do a grapple move where she hops on their shoulders with both hands. Doing a handstand, before she swings around and kicks them in the back.

■ Komainu Dance

If Yoko catches an enemy off guard, and gets them from behind, she can choke them from behind with her staff (Pressing their neck with it). Then she'll roll backwards a few times, before she kicks them into the distance.

SUPER MOVES

■ The Divinities

Yoko suddenly dashes forward with a burst of speed, swiping at the enemy's leg. If she knocks them over,
she'll slam her staff onto the grounded opponent with both hands, charge her staff with ki, and pray. Causing an explosion of ki that does tremendous damage.

■ Dragon Dance

A counter move. If the opponent strikes her, Yoko will immediately counter by hitting them in the chin with her staff with such force it'll be flung upwards. Spinning as it gracefully falls to the ground. Yoko, in the meantime, barrages her opponent with a series of lightning fast kicks. Before kicking them both in the air, catching her staff, and hitting them into the ground.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

While Yoko has a lot of options, from mobility, to defense, she has a few problems. For starters, her damage is abysmal, and it requires a lot of well timed and precise strikes to bring down a Nomad. She may also get brought down in the process, because her health is also low. Not to the extent where a basic combo does tremendous damage, but she's a bit more fragile than the other characters.

The Surtr Archives

Lionel Anthony Hunter

╚══════════════╝

"I'm starting to realize something...."

[ 20 | 5'8ft | German | He/Him | 169lb ]

[Nostalgia]

APPEARANCE

"Only girls can touch the beard."

Lionel stands out with his rather rugged appearance. He doesn't have the aesthetic of a pretty boy, more of a rough man. One that was hardened through years of hard work and labor. He isn't the type to sit around inside playing videogames, but instead went outside to play and have adventures. He has a fairly toned figure, but he isn't by no means bulky. He's skinny as a twig, with a slight layer of muscle he has developed over the years. He has a subdued aura, one of someone not too noticeable. He isn't the type to raise a scene, nor act eye catching (on the other hand, the way he dresses is a different discussion). He takes small steps, and avoids raising his voice. He could sneak in and out your field of view with ease.

Lionel is stated to have the look of a future rock star. He has some very good ass hair. Starting with his bushy beard that covers his entire jaw, and is fairly thick around the bottom of his head, but is thin. He keeps it very well maintained. As in, every morning, he wakes up and grooms himself. Throughout the day, he brushes/combs his beard whenever he feels the need to. He also keeps his hair on his head combed to the side. Speaking of his hair, it's wavy, black, and very clean. He keeps all of his hair very neat and well maintained, so he looks his very best at all times. Lionel is German to his very core, both of his parents directly descended from the nation, and it shows in his facial features, and ruddy skin-tone. He's free from tattoos, and scars (well, he has a few, but nothing like a knifescar).

His facial features are squared, starting with Lionel's rather long neck. He doesn't have the sharpest jaw, but his beard keeps that covered. He has a squared, bulky chin - and thankfully, his beard keeps his butt-chin covered. He has small, almond-shaped eyes that are a blue colored. His ears are large, and crescent shaped, and he has a round, upturned nose. His lips are fairly large... and he has received a bit of teasing for it throughout the years.

He has a very sharp and stylish attire when out on the town. He dresses to impress people, and get across that he'll be the next big name to come out of this city. Lionel has a closet full of stylish jackets, and hats that he'll gladly don when he's out... even if it's stupid. It seems like he's trying hard to impress people. When around the house, he dresses like anyone; he'll wear whatever pants/shirts he has on hand.

PSYCHOLOGY

"I feel like I'm from another planet sometimes..."

MAIN GOAL ⫻ Lionel's main goal is to reconnect with his past self, and figure out just why he's become so cold and unfeeling. Why he can no longer find joy in the things that used to keep him up at night. He'll do anything to reinvigorate his past self.

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ In the past he believed that there was good in the world, that everyone had innate kindness, and even the most bitter people required a spark of kindness. That mindset's long gone. Now; he believes that good people don't exist and people who think they are good are just arrogant. That even the kindest people have dark sides, and would gleefully throw each other in the fire for their own self interests.

SECRETS ⫻ Lionel wants to keep all the emotions he has bottled up, and to himself. But, he feels that it's making him crazy, deep down. He wants to keep all the grudges he has locked away, but if he keeps it away, he'll go nuts and stab someone to death. In addition, he has no choice but to keep the murderer of his friend a secret, and, for the safety of everyone he knows, must never tell a soul.

DESIRES ⫻ Lionel desires happiness in life, the joy he once had. He'll do anything to achieve emotion, and wants to find anyone who can help him.

SEXUALITY ⫻ Lionel is straight as they get, but he's willing to consider anyone that'd comfort him.

FEARS ⫻ Lionel fears what he'll become if he doesn't find some kind of happiness in life. That he'll become a monster, that he'll finally lose it and start killing people.

REPUTATION ⫻ He has a pretty good reputation throughout Farmer Hill, he's known as the musician that often plays in bars. He's known by his stage name of "King Hatred," but he was also known as a member of his friend's band back in the day, "Suburban Counterpoint."

PET PEEVES ⫻ When people act as if they are good people, and are better because of it. He feels these people are arrogant, and/or delusional, and are just a waste of his time. He also hates when people don't respect personal space - not just his personal space, but anyone's. He'll definitely say something to a guy touching a girl.

QUIRKS ⫻ He has a habit of air guitaring... it's a little thing he does because he loves the idea of going wild with a guitar in front of a giant crowd of people. He does it sometimes without thinking... and that's lead to some interesting moments.

BACKSTORY

"Farmhand to future star."

Lionel is a native of Farmer Hill, and has only left it a handful of times for vacation. He lived on a farm that his father ran with the help of some family members - his mother was a banker in Farmer Hill, and that paid great. They lived a good life due to the dough that both jobs got the family. But, it was never easy for Lionel, he worked in the farms and fields almost more than he was indoors. It was his father's firm hand that prevented him from getting lazy, that kept him active. But, what time Lionel spent inside was watching music videos, concerts, and his favorite music based movies.

He developed a slight obsession with being on the stage, playing a guitar. It wasn't long before Lionel was given a guitar, and he spent all of his free time outside practicing. It was hard to come across teachers in Farmer Hill, but he was mostly self taught. Whenever he wasn't in the fields, he was playing the guitar. It was the one thing that he was passionate about. He was known in school as the guitar kid, because he either wouldn't shut up about it, or would kill it in the music class.

It wasn't long before he befriended a group of likeminded music lovers by the age of thirteen, and formed a band (Which went through a variety of different names, from Garbage, to Waste, before ending on Suburban Counterpoint). They destroyed it at local talent shows, but every time they made the crowd cheer their bond grew closer and closer. Particularly with a girl named Diana Lucker, whom was Lionel's best friend, whom supported him through fire and flames, and encouraged him more than anyone else. She was the singer in their band, and Lionel knew she was going to carry them to the stars.

But, after staying school after hours one day, Lionel's life changed forever. He and Diana were playing around in the locker rooms, when they were caught by their music teacher. A kind man that they both adored and looked up to. He scolded them, but only told Lionel to leave the school. He mentioned something about "something that went missing" and pulled Diana in the back to talk with her. Lionel thought nothing of it as he went home, ate food, practiced, then went to bed, but the next morning... he learned that Diana had committed suicide.

He was distraught, but when he was just about to voice what had lead up to it, his music teacher approached him, then threatened him with death if he told anyone. He was deathly afraid, so he kept his mouth shut about it = as the years went by, he never told a soul. His life changed from this point; he left the Suburban Counterpoint, and decided to adopt his own name... King Hatred. He moved on with his music career with Diana in mind, and took up singing in her place. But, as the years went by, his passion waned.

He couldn't feel the same things that he used to. He couldn't put his soul in his music like he used to. Not even talking about his music, he realized how cold he was becoming. Most horribly of all, he couldn't get excited for holidays, trips, and family occasions like he used to. He could only feel as if it was something that had to be done. He noted this apathy he was gaining, and felt like a ghost.

Now, Lionel attends Grand Ridge for a degree in music, but he wants to do anything so he can feel something.

SKILLS & TALENTS

"I can't even love doing this like I used to..."

Farmhand ⫻ From the moment he could walk, Lionel was out there in the fields helping his father with the animals. He knows how to take care of them, and a lot about the animals. This also taught him a skill in physical labor.

Guitar ⫻ The one thing that Lionel picked up when he was a child was playing a guitar. He was fairly obsessed with guitars, and rock concerts as a kid. He didn't have any innate talent, so he got good at guitar through sheer training, and it shows. Though, as it turned out, as he grew up, he lost his passion. Which affects his ability to play greatly.

Singing & Lyrics ⫻ After the death of his friend Diana, he took up singing and songwriting in her place. He learned quite a bit about both, but he could never sing on key that well. He found it easier to write meaningful lyrics. Like his ability to play the guitar, this skill also took a hit.

ABSTRACTION

"Invigorate me."

SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ On both his forearms, he has symbols for leaves.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Aura-Lightning, the ability to tap into his lifeforce to create an energy that enhances aspects of people who are exposed to it.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Lionel possesses an innate aura manipulation ability, specifically manipulating his own. He can materialize his own aura into an energy that appears heavily like lightning. It's much more pure in appearance, and a greyish blue color, but it doesn't function like electricity. It doesn't conduct, nor does it shock or produce heat. It has a special effect on the people around him; in essence, they are "charged" by the lightning. After they are exposed to the lightning, it will be absorbed into their body. He can choose to charge one of three aspects: someone's health, their stamina, or their Abstraction. If he charges someone's health, the energy will flow through them, and heal their wounds. The worst the wound, the more electricity is required, but while it is a miracle; there are some things it cannot do. Such as regrowing lost limbs, and curing diseases. If he charges someone's stamina, they'll feel a rush of energy, as if they took twenty cups of the world's strongest coffee. Then they'll be able to fight and work longer - but the rush fades away over time. If he charges someone's Abstraction, their ability will be far more potent, will use less energy, and their aura reading ability will be much stronger.

However, by materializing his aura in such a fashion, he uses his own lifeforce/aura. Which means he's actively injuring himself by using his power. He'll feel tired, slow, and sluggish at first, to the point where he'll pass out if he isn't careful. He doesn't realize this yet, but he's slowly killing himself with his power.

There's another aspect of his ability worth noting, however; Lionel can absorb the auras of other people. He manifests them as electricity, and absorbs them into himself. However, Lionel doesn't add this to his own supply, but it is treated as a whole new source of aura altogether Lionel cannot use this to charge other people... but, instead, he can weaponize it. This aura lightning is a bright red color, and still doesn't function like regular lightning. It shocks whatever it comes in contact with, generating heat and giving someone a nasty shock, but the aura-lightning still doesn't conduct. He can use this offensive aura-lightning until he has completely depleted the source, then he'll have to get another charge off other people.

In addition, while using any of his powers, it's harder to read his aura.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ The efficiency of his ability goes through the roof while in the mountain. He can charge more people off a smaller amount of electricity. Lionel can also use his offensive lightning without having to get charge off the people around him. Finally, he gains the ability to charge himself while in the mountain, so he can heal his wounds, and boost his stamina (just not boost his power because that's redundant).

AURA SENSING ⫻ Lionel's aura reading is a bit of an aberration among the Awakened; he technically cannot sense auras. Instead, he generates a passive field that increases the aura reading in the people around him, and can possibly allow Blinded to read auras. He passively increases aura reading in others by fifteen meters.

╚══════════════╝

"A wise man once said; lead, follow, or get out the way."

[ 20 | 5'10ft | Ugandan & Haitian | He/Him | 179lb ]

[Rage]

APPEARANCE

"Givin' tall, dark, and handsome, a whole new meaning."

Samson has the aura of an adventurer, and the body of someone who goes out on those adventures. His body is very well-toned from years of working out, and a very physical job here in Farmer Hill. Though, he has the appearance of a tough guy, a powerful force, and that wouldn't be too far off from the mark. However, he's so cheerful that it's hard to really take him as a threat. He gives of an aura of kindness, and companionship, above all else. He walks confidently, usually with his hands in his pockets, or something else.

Samson's body is very large, and powerful. He stands at six-two, but doesn't have that big of a frame. His frame is somewhat thin, no bulging muscles for Samson! Though, he has been lifting weights, and working out, in the meantime. His facial features are fairly bulky, and squared. Starting with his diamond-shaped face, he has a very squared jaw, with thin cheeks. Cheeks that are bushy with a light, well-cut, beard. He has thick, large, lips, with a medium sized and unpronounced nose. Samson's ears are medium-sized, and diamond shaped, studded with ear piercings. His eyes are medium-sized, and have a sharp look about them.

The one thing that makes Samson stand out in Farmer Hill is, you guessed it, his heritage. He's an African-American man, one with very dark skin, and an African-skullshape. His skin is fairly free from blemishes, but definitely not scar free. He has plenty of scars from injuries he received as a child, and many more from the fights he got into. He has a fleshy cutting scar right underneath his eye. That out of the way, he has an intricate pattern of tattoos. The first tattoo that he has is on his right cheek. It appears to be an eagle with it's wings spread, covered in flames that are angled downwards. Like the phoenix is taking flight. The other tattoo he has is on the left side of his chest. This tattoo is of the sun and is very tribal-like. The "flames" of the sun extends far enough to reach his shoulder, belly and the top of his neck. His arms are covered in a tribal-style wreath of flames, starting below his shoulder, going up to his hands.

As for style, Samson goes for sharp. He always has on a jacket of some kind, and jeans, that are always very well covering. Since Farmer Hill is very cold, he's always prepared for it. He always like to keep his tattoos covered as much as possible.

PSYCHOLOGY

"I... sometimes wish I couldn't feel."

MAIN GOAL ⫻ Samson's main goal is to live his life. He doesn't have a goal in mind, other than keeping to himself, and getting enough money to earn his place. A lot of thought goes in his head about figuring out how to deal with the emotions in his head, and letting go. But, he has yet to figure out a way to do it. Only pretend. He's given the idea of leaving behind Farmer Hill, and the bastards in it, forever.

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ To Samson everything in life is about putting in work. He believes in hard work, and reward. It doesn't matter what you're doing, long as you're passionate about it, you'll see it through to the end.

SECRETS ⫻ Samson wants to keep the fact that he's vulnerable, and bitter, to himself, as much as possible. He wants everyone to think he's a strong man, not one wracked with sadness, a man that has a future.

DESIRES ⫻ Samson wants someone to help him, someone who can understand what he feels. Because he desperately wants to get over what happened all those years ago, and is willing to do anything possible to achieve it.

SEXUALITY ⫻ Samson is straight, but is currently uninterested in romance.

FEARS ⫻ Samson somewhat fears himself. He fears what will happen to him if he doesn't resolve these emotions of his, will he finally go insane? Or will it inhibit his ability to form meaningful relationships with people. That his obsession will consume him.

REPUTATION ⫻ Samson's reputation is relatively poor in his community of Farmer Hill. Sins of the father is in full effect as an age long feud between his family, and another, reigns, and makes it difficult for him to move. In addition, people don't really think too highly of Samson because he is African-American. Samson's reputation in Grand Ridge is much better due to his cool-guy attitude, and other qualities.

PET PEEVES ⫻ This is a small one... but Samson absolutely hates it whenever someone gets something wrong about martial arts. Whether it's a person, or a movie, he'll cringe, and have to withstand it with a smile.

QUIRKS ⫻ Samson has a habit of leaning on things, and sometimes putting his leg up against objects in weird ways.

BACKSTORY

"..."

Samson was born a native of Farmer Hill, and one of the few black families. Which was difficult due to the racism that runs amok in the township. Samson was born to a pair of farmers in Mason Square, apart of a long line of farmers. They wanted to give Samson the best life, but they also wanted to raise him strong. Long as he could walk, he was out there in the fields helping with the animals. This built Samson into a strong child, but the problem came when school started, and the other children relentlessly bullied him because he was black. They got physical very quick, and Samson didn't know how to fight back.

But, his father did. An old friend in town, a martial arts instructor named Shane Wyatt. The only one in Farmer Hill, the one that was training kids to fight for generations. Samson was sent there, and taught karate, and while it was tough (actually embarrassing) at first, he picked up the basics, and moved onto the advanced stuff. Going from rank to rank, spar to spar, he gained discipline like no other, and humility from Mr. Wyatt. It came to the point where he was no longer motivated by revenge against his bullies, but now, self defense.

When he confronted them, he only gave one stern warning, before defending himself. The ensuing fight was brutal, but with Samson's discipline, he beat the whole lot of them. He was punished at school, but finally fighting back against those animals was worth it. However, this wasn't the end of it, as the families of the other kids wanted justice against Samson.

A few days later, one of the bullies families came to the Jeross family household, screaming and shouting obscenities for what Samson did. The parents of Samson tried to talk them down, but it escalated to violence very quickly. A huge brawl took place on the Jeross family's doorstep that got bloody fast when the other family pulled out a gun. It ended when more people came to the Jeross household, and overwhelmed them. They were brutally beaten, especially Samson's father. When the police came, they broke it up, but not one arrest was made. Future complaints were ignored.

Samson was outraged, but his father calmed him down, explaining to him that some things they'll just have to let go. From then on, Samson was targeted because of his race by his similarly aged peers. He was ostracized by the people of Farmer Hill, but he managed to find people with different views than the majority. Those people became some of Samson's closest friends. In addition, he stuck with his karate training until he became a black belt, and one of Farmer Hill's most passionate people.

Once Samson passed hurdle after hurdle, and graduated highschool, and his parents revealed they were saving for him to go to Grand Ridge Academy. He was honored, but he still had a bit of anger to deal with. He went into college for Criminal Justice, and was struggling as of late.

SKILLS & TALENTS

"Wanna know how many people are proud to call themselves the world greatest farm hands?"

Karate ⫻ Samson's the karate kid! Due to the need to defend himself becoming increasingly apparent, Samson took up karate at the only practitioners in Farmer Hill. He has been taking it for almost a decade now, and has long earned his black belt. Most importantly he knows how to put that karate to good use, and has been in quite a few brawls. That experience hardened him, and taught him a lot of things. His body is very fast, and so are his reflexes.

ABSTRACTION

"Everything burns..."

SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ Flaming wings placed on his back that start at his shoulders, and go down to his waist.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Emotional-Flames, the ability to conjure a flame that either burns away emotions, thoughts, and memories, or in times of emotion, actually burns.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Samson's Awakening allows him to generate and manipulate flame, but this is no regular flame, this flame is born by Samson's emotions themselves. His rage, his passion, his hope... the flames have two main attributes that depend on Samson's mood.

Normally, Samson's flames are a white color, and appear and flow like any other flame, but it burns nothing. It generates no heat, burns no oxygen, and otherwise functions nothing like fire. However, the flames operate on a psychic level, instead of burning objects, they burn the mind. The fire, simply put, eats away the emotions, memories, and thoughts of people around him on contact. Upon being hit with the flames, emotions will be numbed, it'll be harder to think straight (almost like someone is being overwhelmed), and they'll experience short term memory-loss (they'll maybe forget where they are, and what they're doing if they're exposed to enough of the flame). The Awakened are much more resistant to the effects, but regular people will get no such luxury. After contact with people, the fire will dissipate after a few moments, as it couldn't burn up enough resources to exist. Enough of the fire will leave people emotionless, but it isn't powerful enough to eliminate all thoughts and memories. The flames generate a white light, but normal people are unable to see the flames in this state, or the light it gives off. It'll be completely invisible.

In a state of heightened emotion, the flames begin to take on a more pure appearance. Less like fire, and more like plasma (or an energy of the sort). Depending on the emotion that Samson is feeling, will affect the color (fear turns it yellow, happiness; green, etc). The flames will lose their ability to burn minds, and will be able to burn people like traditional fire, and will generate heat. Depending on how emotional Samson is, will change how hot the flames burn people. Samson is also able to draw upon the emotions of other people, which can strengthen the flames. The flames burn whatever they touch, but Samson can choose what they can and cannot burn. So if he wants to engulf two people in flames, but keep one people safe, he can do it. However, feeling rage makes the flames the hottest they can be, and burn everything in sight. Even materials seemingly fireproof burn away in the end. The flames seem to attain a slight level of sentience, and will actively burn whatever it can. When in this state, the flames can be seen by all.

Upon calming down, the flames will return to their normal state, and all the flames he created while emotional will disappear.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ While in the embrace of the mountain, Samson gains the ability to choose what flame he wants to use, can create far more fire, and make it far more potent. However, the flames in their normal state gain the ability to alter emotions of whatever gets hit by the flames. They will change people to feel the same emotion as Samson, rather than burning them away. In addition, he can choose if he wants to specifically burn emotions, memories, or thoughts (or none at all). While emotional, Samson's flames induce a state of fear, as they become so powerful that people can't help but be intimidated by it. It causes a state of flight-or-fight just by being near them.

AURA SENSING ⫻ Samson's aura reading ability is quite different from the others. For starters, he gains the ability to read auras of everything long as they are within four meters of himself. He can sense the rage that is within all creatures, and greater the rage, the brighter their aura glows. To the point where Samson can sense them further than four meters (up to forty-two meters).

Jordan Destiny Nichols

╚══════════════╝

"Oh, I can tell we gonna vibe."

[ 19 | 5'3ft | Nigerian, Angolan, & Jamacian | She/Her | 109lb ]

[Guilt]

APPEARANCE

"No, don't touch my hair!"

Jordan doesn't appear to be the most approachable girl in Farmer Hill. Probably due to that scowl on her face, or that look of general irritation. Her voice is a bit gruff (due to all the smoking she does, but that is neither here nor there) and definitely doesn't help. Usually, she has a demeanor of someone that keeps to themselves, and that shows in how quiet she is. But, when she speaks, no one has a louder voice or presence than Jordan. Though, Jordan cannot walk with confidence, or even straight like other people her age do. Jordan walks with a heavy limp, as if she received a horrible injury when she was younger. She can still walk at the same pace as everyone else, but they can tell she has a problem. Closer examination tells that Jordan makes careful, and deliberate movements. Nothing sudden, or sloppy. Even as she runs, it looks like she's carefully making every single step to avoid tripping.

But, the one thing that makes her stand out in Farmer Hill so much is heritage. Jordan is African-American in a town that is primarily white. Not a native of the township, however, her "city" (Philadelphian) accent. Jordan's skin is a much lighter shade of brown, almost tan. She's what's called "light-skinned." Jordan's skin is fairly good due to all the maintenence done to it, with only a few blemishes around her body. Jordan's hair is a black color with an afro-texture, and her lips are very large, and thick. Hardly disproportionate to her relatively same sized nose, with a thick nose-bridge, and nostrils. Her eyes are small, unturned, and her irises are a dark-brown color. Jordan's ears are a crescent-shape, and medium-sized.

Jordan has plenty of tattoos all over her body. The most notable one is the weave of roses on the left side of her chest, above her breast. Going down her left thigh is three roses with abnormally long stems. On her right arm, she has a large tattoo that says "In Loving Memory of Madison Brown." But, on her right leg, there is a disgusting scar. It appears to be from surgery, but it also looks like her leg has been mangled to the point of no return. It's amazing that she can still stand up on her - but Jordan is more than willing to take barely standing than no standing. She also has a few piercings. On her ears, nose, belly-button, and nipples.

Jordan's build is fairly thin, and well-toned. She's in no means muscular, but she has some definition to her body. Of course, this tone appears to be fading, but Jordan still retains some body definition from before the accident. Her active metabolism, good eating habits, and exercise help her stay in shape. Because the last thing that Jordan wants is to become a land whale. Accident or no.

PSYCHOLOGY

"Look, all you need to know about me is that confident, and proud of myself. Don't ever forget that or I'll remind ya', sweetie."

MAIN GOAL ⫻ Jordan had one goal in life: becoming the world's best musician, and putting her passion into music. Spreading it all across the world, and letting the world enjoy her art. Nowadays, she still wants to be a musician, but she also wants to get over this deep-seated guilt, and find happiness in anyway possible.

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ Jordan's philosophy is a simple one; people have one life, and one life only. That life is too short to hold onto grudges, but too long to go into it without planning. She thinks that too many people find reasons to be unhappy, rather than just making the most out of life. She believes that everyone is worthy of respect, even if they don't deserve it, and that other people should do the same. Jordan believes her character is strong because she isn't afraid to admit where she's wrong, and is honest with her emotions, and passions, above all else.

SECRETS ⫻ Jordan doesn't have any notable secrets (other than that time she ate her roomie's cake (that shit was good, though)).

DESIRES ⫻ Jordan wants to be remembered (and remembered fondly) above all else. She doesn't go out of her way to put people down, and tries to support people the best she can. So, she'll be remembered for everything she does.

SEXUALITY ⫻ Jordan is heterosexual, but she feels her sexuality is fluid. Anyone that'd comfort her. There were times she kissed a girl. But, maintains that she is attracted to boys above all else.

FEARS ⫻ Jordan, as you may have expected, fears being forgotten. She looked to many people in her family's past, and realized how little people knew them, and how little they accomplished. How little they were remembered. Which is why she wants to be the one person to stand out. Jordan also has a slight phobia of alcohol, after the accident that destroyed her leg. She's mostly afraid of what she'll do under the influence. Not anything that causes her to freeze in fear, but she avoids it.

REPUTATION ⫻ Jordan's reputation in Farmer Hill is relatively poor due to her skin color. Few people know her other than being "the black city girl." In Grand Ridge Academy, however, her reputation is a lot better, due to her kind attitude.

PET PEEVES ⫻ Jordan hates excessive drinking, and people who brag about drinking. She avoids those kinds of people like the plague.

QUIRKS ⫻ Jordan has a habit of constantly adjusting her appearance. Fixing her hair, adjusting her clothes, etc. Almost as if it's imperfect, and needs constant correction.

BACKSTORY

"Don't worry about my past, worry about my future."

Jordan was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a relatively lower-class family. She didn't have the best upbringing, but definitely made the best of it. Most importantly, she was never alone. She, not only had a big family, but a knack for befriending people. She seemed to be borned with a special kind of charisma. These people taught Jordan morality, and the importance of basic human decency... to a point. She definitely wasn't one to take bullying, and lashed back as hard as they did. She did the best she could to befriend as many people as possible.

It wasn't long before Jordan's interest in music developed into something more. It became a passion. It started with music class at school, and then it evolved into wanting a guitar. Her parents could barely afford it, but they got it for her for her birthday. It was difficult for her to learn with no teacher, but she found every way she could. Until she knew the guitar like the back of her hand. A friend teaching her helped. As the years went by, Jordan's passion for the guitar remained. Regardless of what mood she was feeling.

Eventually, she tried singing... with mixed results.

Either way, Jordan wanted to do it for a living, even though everyone told her that it was a terrible idea, but she didn't listen. She was happy, and that was the way she was going to live. One of the people to encourage her was Madison Brown, one of the cousins she knew as long as she could remember. Madison encouraged Jordan to do whatever made her happy, and was the closest link in her extended family. If there was someone Jordan would tell someone, it would be Madison.

Hitting highschool, Jordan hit it off with the "popular crowd." The kind of kids with no sense, that everyone wanted to be. All because of her personality, and attitude. She was the person who kept them in line, in a sense, while also enjoying the benefits they had to offer. Such as status, and a good time. She helped her cousin Madison get into this crowd, and that enriched the experience for Jordan.

This experience went on, Jordan felt like she was on top of the world. Until she hit graduation... and the worst day of her life took place. She and her friends went on a hardcore night of debauchery. Full of drinking, sex, and partying like it was the last day of their young lives. Jordan was driving them around, drinking like a fool. On a dare, Jordan ran a light, and was hit by another car. The car was sent flying, and Jordan hit another car. The car was horribly mangled, and Jordan was impaled through the leg with a steel beam. The rest of her occupants weren't doing any better, were either badly wounded or... in the case of Madison Brown, dead. Bust her head open when the second car hit her.

Jordan didn't even get to see it, as she had passed out due to traumatic shock. She woke up in a hospital, and was told what happened. What happened to Madison... and was sent into a deep descent. Jordan was catatonic for a day straight as she processed what happened. She was consumed by guilt, she felt responsible for what happened to her cousin. She took some time off from her passion to come to term with what happened. Though, her leg was badly injured, and she would never walk the same again. Hell, it took months of physical therapy to learn how to walk again. Then it tooks even more months of psychological therapy to come to terms with how reckless and stupid she was back then, and how it cost someone their life. She promised that she would never do something like that again.

Then she turned to the guitar to alleviate stress, and remembered her goal in life. Becoming one of the best guitarists the world has to offer, and hell if she was going to let a bad leg stop her. Her parents surprised her with an acceptance letter to Grand Ridge Academy. Before shipping her off to Montana... and one of the biggest changes of pace of her life.

SKILLS & TALENTS

"I'm a musician sweetheart, you're gonna hear me on the radios, soon."

Guitar ⫻ Jordan had that musical touch from a young age. Almost literally, as she can play a guitar like a madman. It doesn't matter what kind, but Jordan prefers the acoustic guitar.

Singing ⫻ While her singing voice isn't the best out there, she knows how to work with it. Years upon years of singing classes, and talent shows, have made Jordan into a great singer. Her tone changes are great, and she never sings off key.

ABSTRACTION

"... And everything froze. I thought it was just a shock kind of thing, but literally nothing moved... except for you."

SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ The symbol of an hour-glass, large and placed on her back.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Temporal-Pausing, the ability to stop time, while being able to freely move.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Jordan ironically gets the one Abstraction that could have saved her cousin. The ability manifests in creating a temporal field around herself in a six meter dome. Inside this dome, everything else is frozen in place, but Jordan (and by that extent, other Awakened, as their resistance to each other's powers render them immune to Temporal pausing) are able to move freely. While everything is static, Jordan is able to manipulate the environment by touching it. However, she is unable to manipulate people, who are entirely immutable during Temporal-Pausing. Which means she cannot injure anyone inside the field. Outside the field, paused time is entirely imperceptible to normal people, they just won't notice it - but can be frozen if they enter it. Awakened can see the field, and stopped time. The duration of temporal pausing is somewhat short, around fifteen seconds, before time resumes. Once time resumes, any changes that Jordan make will instantly happen. Almost as if she had teleported. However, this isn't a voluntary ability, she has to be in a state of intense stress (I.E be threatened) for it to activate - along with having to perceive the danger. It's almost like a fight or flight reaction. It has a couple minute cooldown before she can do it again.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ The mountain extends the range of the temporal field to eighteen meters, which is fairly distant. In addition, the extension of the temporal field is greatly increased to forty-five seconds. Which makes her Abstraction much more powerful. The mountain also grants the ability to voluntarily stop time... but only at a short range, and for around five seconds. She requires thirty seconds before she can voluntarily stop time again.

AURA SENSING ⫻ Jordan's aura reading is connected to people who are in danger. If someone is presently in danger (or heavily feels they are), Jordan can read their auras from around thirty-two meters.

Hagan William Rosefey

╚══════════════╝

"Hmph..."

[ 20 | 6'5ft | Irish, Scottish, & Russian | He/Him | 210lb ]

[Love]

APPEARANCE

"Take a fuckin' picture. Hell, even frame that shit."

Hagan is a big boy. A very intimidating figure standing at six-five, and what doesn't help is that he's built pretty well due to exercise and working out. To him, he'd rather experience the high of working out, then stuff his face with sweets. Though, he isn't a bodybuilder, he definitely has definition. He looks like a thug, the kind of person that'd kick your ass at the slightest provocation. And that's definitely true. That's the vibe he wants to give off, the aura of an ass kicker. The big man. He takes large steps, and walks with his hand in his pocket. And when he's not walking, he usually has his arms crossed.

Hagan is from the big cities, and not that too used to small town life. You can tell by his city slicker accent, and habit of speaking quickly. He has a somewhat deep voice, but nothing overtly intimidating. It's more rough than anything. Hagan is an Irish-man that is part Scottish, and part Russian. He appears more Russian than anything due to taking after his father. It's to the point where his mother has trouble explaining to people that Hagan is her son. He is Caucasian, with his skin being somewhat fair. There's quite a few scars on his body due to all the roughhousing he does. From fighting, to childhood injuries, etc. His nose has always been a bit crooked from not healing correctly, either. His knuckles are also quite bruised.

Hagan has a fairly well defined face. Starting with his strong jawline, and but his very large butt-chin is a source of jokes. His face is fairly heart-shaped in general. His other facial features are fairly subdued, and small. His nose is droopy with small nostrils, and a thin nose bridge. Which don't look disproportionate compared to his thin lips, and small mouth. His ears are diamond shaped, and pretty big, he has them studded with earrings and other jewelry.

Hagan's style shifts from practical, to sharp. For example, casually he's never seen out of jeans, or boots, unless he's working out, or at home. Usually he'll wear a T-shirt of some kind over top of that. When he wants to make an impression, he'll wear a jacket of some kind, and he always has a jacket for every occassion.

PSYCHOLOGY

"Man, I don't know about this psychology shit. Everyone thinks everyone else is the crazy one. Can your psychology explain that?"

MAIN GOAL ⫻ Hagan doesn't really have a main goal in mind. All he wants to do is live life the meant it was; with him on top.

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ Hagan has a belief that it's every man for himself out here in this world. With all the killing and violence going on, and his father's abandonment, there won't be someone there to hold your hand. Therefore, he believes that you have to cut yourself a piece of the world, or fade into obscurity. He believes that personal strength is the greatest strength of them all, and thinks himself as the strongest. Which is why he's so aggressive, and willing to defend what is his.

SECRETS ⫻ Hagan's biggest secret is his questioning sexuality. He puts on the facade of being the ultimate lady's man, but when he's feeling a greater attraction towards men. Hagan is extremely defensive over this. He'll get incredibly violent at the mere prospect of his sexuality getting out. Which is what got him sent to Farmer Hill in the first place.

DESIRES ⫻ Hagan desires independence, and wants honesty in his life, and the people he hangs around. He also wants to find someone who understands him, and his problems. Whether it's a man, or a woman.

SEXUALITY ⫻ Hagan's sexuality is complicated. He used to think he loved girls, but he doesn't feel that kind of way about them. He's seemingly far more attracted to the male gender, but is aggressively in-denial about it. He'll tear someone a new one rather than admit he's a "fag."

FEARS ⫻ Hagan fears being a deadbeat, a failure, a loser in life. He fears having to rely on anyone else, and fears the growing though that he could be vulnerable. This fear is becoming closer and closer to becoming a reality.

REPUTATION ⫻ Hagan's reputation in Farmer Hill isn't the best; he's known across the township as a knucklehead, and a thug. All because he tends to resort to violence rather quickly. He's not a sight the students of Grand Ridge want to see, they see him as an asshole, a thug, a menace.

PET PEEVES ⫻ Hagan can't stand dishonesty, or fakeness in people. He has little tolerance for people who put on fronts to look cool, or to make friends. Do any of those things, and basically write Hagan off as an ally.

QUIRKS ⫻ No quirks in particular, other than his habit of holding his hand to his face when he's thinking.

BACKSTORY

"God I miss Connecticut."

Hagan isn't a native of Farmer Hill, his mother on the other hand, was. She was the daughter of Douglas Rosefey, the hard farmer man that'd rather live in the fields, than die in the cities. She was the oldest of many children, but was also the only one to make the decision to leave Farmer Hill with her sweetheart Albert Earls. They got married, and moved to Manchester Connecticut, where they lived a relatively peaceful life. Hagan was the result of that marriage. Life was hard, but they made due the best they could. Eventually things improved for the family.

Hagan was a relatively troubled kid growing up, and he didn't played well with others. All because of some behavioral problem the Earls couldn't sort out. Because of this isolation in school, he was singled out, and bullied by the other kids. First it started with teasing, then it didn't take long for it to become physical because they could get away with it. Albert wasn't having it, and thought Hagan the first thing about fighting in order to defend himself. He went back to school, and fought back. Making them back off. This is where Hagan learned that you need strength to get ahead in life

Advancing through school from there was easy, he didn't make too many friends, but he eventually learned to let people in. Hagan was living life at his own pace. That changed when the family split up after the revelation that his father was cheating on his mother with another woman, and even got her pregnant. This came to Hagan so suddenly, and his father left them without a care in the world. Then it just became Hagan, and his mother against the world. Nobody spoke about the falling out, and they had to try extra hard to stay afloat, with their breadwinner gone.

Going into highschool, he was desperate to learn independence from his parents, so when it's his time to out on his own, Hagan would be on his toes. Hagan did the best he could to get through classes, but they were not his speciality. Just for the passion of it, Hagan became a football player, and one of the star players. His name became known across school as the big, hard-hitting, quarterback that got all the girls and kicked ass. However, whenever he got with the girls, it felt hollow. There was something he didn't like.

He had a rather close friend in the football team that he told everything with, and explained his lack of attraction to women. That friend explained that he may not even be into women, and Hagan denied that. Hagan and this friend started to hang out a lot more, and get far closer than ever. Hagan felt something between the two, and it didn't take him long to act on that growing affection. In the locker room, the two shared a kiss when they thought they were alone. They were going to go further, but someone came in, and they stopped.

Hagan aggressively denied that ever happened, and kept away from the "friend." Bottling up his feelings, and throwing them away. Rumors came out that Hagan was "a faggot," and he started to get paranoid. Very defensive. But, it came to a head when a fellow team mate approached him, and said that he saw the whole scene take place. Threatening to tell everyone if Hagan didn't leave the football team. This made the already testy Hagan fly off into a blind rage and brutally beat the boy half to death, anything to ensure that he'd keep his mouth shut.

Unfortunately, the police didn't share the same sentiments, and Hagan was arrested, and spent a few months in juvie.

When he got out, his mother immediately sent him to Farmer Hill, a town he only heard about in off conversation. Because she thought that Hagan needed some time with her father to even him out. And evened out Hagan was. Douglas was the world's biggest hard ass, and he had Hagan working in the fields and farms. He hated it at first, being away from all he built up, but he realized they all saw him as a "a faggot." So, he begun anew in the schools in Farmer Hill, he graduated highschool, and then college came around, and his mother got him into Grand Ridge like she planned on for years.

Hagan, still defensive over his sexuality, calmed down, but there are some outbursts.

SKILLS & TALENTS

"One thing I'm good for kickin' ass. You wanna know why God or whatever deity stays in heaven? Because he doesn't want his teeth knocked out."

Brawling ⫻ Hagan was, at first, taught by his dad how to fight to defend himself from bullies. Brawling on the streets, and other places, have taught him a lot. How to fight dirty. How to fight without mercy. Hagan is definitely one hell of a brawler, and knows how to use that size to his advantage.

Football ⫻ For a majority of his youth, Hagan played football for his local teams. He was one of the star players, and would have tried to go onto the NFL if he wasn't sent to Farmer Hill. He still plays, but he just isn't as good as he used to be. Not that he particularly cares about football anyway.

Farmhand ⫻ Hagan was forced to help on his grandfather's farm as punishment, and continues to do so he can have a house to live in so he can go to school. Hagan knows all sorts of information about animals, and can handle all equipment.

ABSTRACTION

"Why did I get the boring ass power? I wanted to shoot lasers, or something, God damn it."

SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ Hagan has the signal of two massive castle gates on his chest, on the right.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Barrier-Projection, Hagan has the ability to project a powerful barrier to protect himself and others.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Hagan's abstraction manifested in the ability to cast a shield as you could say, around himself, when threatened. This barrier is transparent, near-invisible, with a slight white tint to it. Most importantly, it acts as a solid that prevents anything from passing through it, and keeps the other side safe. When the barrier is touched, it turns opaque around the point of impact. The shape of the barrier depends on the threat presented. If someone is coming at him with a baseball bat, then it'll be relatively flat. If someone comes at him with a flamethrower, the barrier will take a rounder shape. At the moment, it's purely a subconscious ability. With the barriers manifesting to react to danger, rather than Haggar actively using it. Eventually, he'll learn how to create the barriers whenever. The barriers are fairly strong, capable of surviving a barrage of bullets, but will crumble eventually as it begins to weigh down on Hagan.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ When Hagan is in the mountain, the shields become twice as durable. Able to take two times the punishment before showing signs of wearing down. His control over the shields are heightened immensely, and allows him to not only create the shields anywhere within fifteen feet. It also allows him to manipulate the shape of the shield, along with moving it. So, in theory he could use the barriers as a weapon.

AURA SENSING ⫻ Hagan's aura sensing ability is connected to his Abstraction. It allows him to sense the auras of people who have attempted to attack him or anyone he cares about (otherwise triggering the shield), for thirty minutes, over a thirty-five meter radius. As time goes on, the radius will lower until the aura fades from his eyes.

╚══════════════╝

"Look into the camera's eye."

[ 18 | 5'7ft | French, German, &
Native American (Blackfoot) | She/Her | 121lb ]

[Jealousy]

APPEARANCE

"Like the jacket? It almost hides the fact I'm getting fat!"

Kimberly (or Kim as she likes to describe herself) is one of the girls that thinks she's plain. She feels as if she doesn't have the face, body, or curves, of models. And in truth, she doesn't have the attributes that make them attractive. Instead, her round and pudgy face, large angular face, and glasses invoke a librarian look. The appearance of a brainy girl, they wouldn't be that far off. Kimberly likes to look the part. But, in demeanor, she appears to be very excitable, and mobile. Constantly on the move making spastic movements. This energetic, child-like demeanor shows in her face, too. Since, she's constantly smiling, and speaks in a cheerful manner. She speaks fast, but rarely speaks rudely. Not many people would perceive Kimberly as a threat, but some people get the feeling that she's faking. Which is true in some way.

Kimberly's facial features are rounded, and her jawline is practically nonexistent. She at least wished she got to have a jawline, but she digresses. With her nose being large, round, she invokes a very child-like appearance about her. Her lips are almond-shaped, and not that large. Along with her ears being pretty small, and somewhat pointed at the tip - but her ears are always concealed by her lucious head of chocolate-brown wavy hair that goes down to her chest. Her eyes are droopy, and a bright-green color. Kimberly is also known for having an enormous forehead, one that she keeps covered with bangs.

Kimberly is fairly thin, she has a little bit of pudge building up due to lack of exercise, and her terrible eating habits, but it isn't anything that can't be hidden underneath a heavy layer of clothing. Other than that, her skin tone is slightly pale from all the time spent indoor. She has blemishes on her face, and a little bit of acne. She doesn't have any marks on her body, other than a few childhood scars that haven't faded. Her skintone is the result of being primarily French, with a bit of German, and being distantly Blackfoot. As for the rest of her body, she has a banana body-shape. Not a body with a whole lot of curves, her shoulders are around the same width as her waist. Her bust (28H) being fairly small, and same with her hips, she doesn't have a whole lot of curves.

Kimberly dresses fairly plainly. It seems that she never wears outfits that catches the eye. From hoodies with dull colors, and jeans that are a few sizes too large for her. As Kimberly still gets most of her outfits from hand me downs. But, sometimes her attire dips into the hipster as she adorns varsity jackets, and other outdated outfits of the time. But this is rare. The only constant in her outfit is her black, wide-framed, glasses.

PSYCHOLOGY

"I feel normal. Am I normal? Do I look normal?"

MAIN GOAL ⫻ Kimberly's main goal in life is to live life like they do in those photos. Which, to her, means that she wants to travel the world, and learn about it. Leaving Farmer Hills, and all of it behind to build a more exciting life.

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ Her outlook on life is basically to let people live. She's not a fan of forcing ideals on other people, and therefore hates the people that do. She believes that people should be free long as they aren't hurting people, or anything of the sort.

SECRETS ⫻ Kimberly has a deep-seated anger, and jealousy, for the people around her all for the fact that they seem to be in better places in life than her. She acknowledges how ridiculous this is, and keeps it as a secret. Instead, she acts chipper, and holds it in.

DESIRES ⫻ Kimberly desires to learn more about herself, and other people, by gaining other perspectives on life. So she can incorporate their philosophy into her own. In addition, she desires companionship, and friendship. People who think and sees things the way she does. She also wants to be self-sustaining as possible.

SEXUALITY ⫻ Kimberly is heterosexual to her core.

FEARS ⫻ Kimberly fears going nowhere in life, and becoming a parasite for her friends and family to leech off their success. Which fuels her obsession with being self-sustaining as possible. In addition, Kimberly fears spiders and all arachnids due to a hilarious prank played on her by her cousin.

REPUTATION ⫻ Kimberly is fairly unknown in Farmer Hill, and few people pay attention to her. She's just known as "the barista chick" and that's it. Which is something she takes advantage of whenever convenient. Though, there are some rumors of her sleeping around, something that Kimberly denies.

PET PEEVES ⫻ Kimberly is deeply annoyed to her core by hypocrisy, and worst of all, people calling her hypocritical. If you want to get on her bad side really fast, make sure to call her that. In addition, she's annoyed by people who think "it's just a joke" is an okay excuse, people who assume things about people, and close-mindedness.

QUIRKS ⫻ Kimberly has a habit of sticking her tongue out at random points in the middle of interaction. Especially in her more quirky moments. Kimberly also has the habit of holding up her camera to her chin at random points.

BACKSTORY

"There's nothing to it, other than me wanting to get the hell up out of Farmer Hill."

Kimberly was born a native of Farmer Hill, born the child of a banker, and a soldier in the army. Kimberly's father was away for most of her life, but her mother made sure to pick up the slack. And when it became hard, her mother would always seek out her extended family, who were also situated in Farmer Hill. Thus, Kimberly had all the love and affection she needed so she doesn't become a psychopath. There was one of her cousins that Kimberly was fairly close to as a child; Beth Walton. The child of her uncle. You see, Kimberly and Beth were the best of friends, and would spend literally hours together every day. It was like Kimberly had the sibling she always wanted! The two especially loved exploring, and traveling to different cities.

But, as they grew older, they began to develop interests and whatnot in photography. It started with buying a cheap disposable camera from the supermarket, and then it sparked into buying them hundred dollar cameras. The two kids had developed an artistic eye from a young age, and loved taking pictures of everything they could. Once this became a bit more serious, Beth and Kimberly agreed that they would become the greatest two photographers in the world. That they would go to Grand Ridge Academy for Photography. The moment came where they both graduated from highschool, and college was coming around. Kimberly got accepted into Grand Ridge.

As for Beth? She went to a college in upstate New York. Leaving behind Kimberly to pursue her own goals.

Kimberly was hurt by the betrayal, and could never get a straight answer from Beth. It'd always be something about how she wanted to travel, or how her parents wanted to go, and how she wanted Kimberly to live her life. Only for Beth to send photos to Kimberly of her exploits. Never getting the answer she wanted, Kimberly became obsessed with her photography, since she was going to best her cousin anyway she can. Putting up a happy demeanor as she powered through classes with what little sanity she had left.

She kept her group of friends fairly small, as she knew that she'd abandon them, and there was no point in forming attachments. Kimberly did befriend a fellow classmate named Jordan Nicoles to end the lonliness.

SKILLS & TALENTS

"I'm good at sending my friends memes, that's a start."

Photography ⫻ Kimberly was born to be a photographer. Even from a young age, she put any cheap camera she could find to good use. Now that her equipment and skills have advanced quite a bit, she has quite a photographic eye. With her camera never leaving her side, few things miss her.

Eagle-Eyed ⫻ Leading into the above skill, Kimberly has a very good eye for detail, and is perceptive. Not even the most subtle movement gets past her.

Climbing ⫻ Kimberly, to help her take better pictures, have undergone a training to learn to climb things better. So far, she is pretty good. Enough to climb fences at the pace of a slug.

ABSTRACTION

"Huh... I'm one step closer to living life like they do in the photos..."

SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ Kimberly's sigil is placed directly in the center of her forehead, and is the symbol of a camera's eye, and a human eye.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Photo-portation, the ability to teleport to different locations using photos as a medium.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Kimberly's Abstraction manifested in her love of photography. If she has a photo of a location in her hands, she is engulfed in a white light, and is sent to that location. It'll take a few moments to "charge" but she'll appear there in a flash of light. It just takes a bit of focus, and envisioning. She has to focus on the picture, and picture herself being there, and then she'll begin "charging," as the aura of light surrounds her. This ability works with any place that Kimberly has taken a picture of, and regardless of if it's a physical picture, or a digital one. She could possibly teleport to pictures taken with her phone, or ancient ones, but it's a lot more time consuming. She can bring people with her, but they must be in close proximity, and must also envision themselves appearing in that place. Kimberly can only teleport in places in Farmer Hill, and the further away it is, the longer it takes to charge.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ When infused with the power of the mountain, Kimberly's ability takes less time to charge, and requires less focus. In theory, she could instantly teleport somewhere. This is only a passive buff, she has a few other abilities unlocked in the process. If she focuses on a place hard enough, she is able to scry on the location through the photo. She can see everything going on in the photo in real time as if she was there. A good ability for spying, albeit situational. The ultimate ability that the mountain grants her is the ability to possibly time-travel. It's not something she can do at will, and requires a ton of focus, but she may travel to the specific point where the photo was taken.

AURA SENSING ⫻ Kimberly's unlocked aura-reading potential manifests, again, in photography. She gains the aura to see the auras of people and objects that she has taken pictures long as it is within eighty meters of herself. Even if the object is moving from the point where she took the photo, she can still sense it.

OTHER

"Nothing to see here."

Kimberly has a Sony cybershot digital camera (one of the compact models), and an instant print camera she got off Amazon. If she had to chose one, she'd chose the instant-print due to authenticity.

Claire Annabelle O'Sullivan (DECEASED)

╚══════════════╝

"Call me cute, whatever you think will get you in my pants."

[ 19 | 5'9'ft | Irish | She/Her | 120lb ]

[Anger]

APPEARANCE

"Here comes the freakshow herself, whaddup."

When Claire walks in, she'll definitely catch your attention. Whether it's her immense height for a female, attire, eye-catching loud attitude, or "badass" demeanor that she gives off. She usually has a scowl on her face and keeps up an aura of a very venomous snake. One that you want to stay faaaaaar away from as possible. Unless you want to get bit. Course, that aura flips in the blink of an eye, that scowls turns upside down, and Claire is being personable and vibrant. It makes it hard to get a read or her, but easy to stop judging a book by it's cover. Or she just looks like a complete and utter tryhard.

Claire is a tomboy, just super masculine. Whether it's her gruff, weathered voice, from all the smoking she does, and the tough-girl demeanor she gives off. Though, her body is fairly thin, and not especially muscular or fat. She seems to get by on the smallest amount of exercise, and the highest metabolism possible. Though, all the running she does (from people, and just in general) makes it easy to keep the body fat off. The other problem with the whole "masculine" thing is that Claire's body is pretty... flat. She doesn't have too many curves. Her chest is a 32D, and her behind is pretty flat, lacking in sex appeal. She has boy's frame, to put it lightly. That's not even getting into her short brown pixie cut, or the fact that Claire is enormous (up there with the boys).

To say the least, Claire doesn't care that much about being the prettiest princess, or any of that jazz. She's already self-conscious. She's an Irish-woman to her very bone and has a snappy attitude to match it. She's quick with her jabs and will go to furiously angry in the blink of an eye. Claire's skin tone is somewhat tanned due to all the sunlight she gets, but not too brown. She has like a slight brown hue.

Claire's fairly obsessed with the punk aesthetic, so that is something she adapted well. From her short hair to her makeup (usually she has on eyeshadow), to the piercings all over her body (her cheek, nose, ear, belly button, and nipples, are pierced). To her attire, she dresses to get a point across - other than that she likes punk - she wants to look tough, and look good. She dresses like a stereotypical tough-girl by wearing studded jackets, heavy boots, and more. Sometimes she dresses even lighter in things like t-shirts and jeans, and with her resting bitch face alone she gets across her point. Ironically enough, she doesn't have any tattoos at all.

She has a diamond-shaped head that gets thinner the more you go down. She has a fairly good looking triangle-shaped nose, with triangular nostrils, and a thinnish nose bridge. Her eyes are unturned and medium-sized, they usually have a piercing gaze in them as if Claire is staring right through you. Eye colors are a light-brown color to match her dark-brown hair color. Ears are crescent-shaped and pretty damn big, not hilarious, but you'll definitely pay a bit of attention to them. Her lips are thin, and probably the least ladylike possible to make it hard to kiss her. To top it off, her jaw is squared, and sharp.

PSYCHOLOGY

"On a scale of one to school shooter, how much therapy do I need?"

MAIN GOAL ⫻ Claire's main goal in life is to, surprisingly, become a nurse. She wants to help people, and be someone who will make a difference in life.

PHILOSOPHY ⫻ Claire believes that everyone has a happiness out there, waiting for them, and most importantly, the decency of human kindness. She believes that it is good for everyone, and unhappy or bad people are the people who need kindness the most. She hates the self-sustaining cycle of rage and hatred that consume so many people (Even though she's pretty angry herself), so she'll do anything to break it. Claire believes that true happiness comes from helping people.

SECRETS ⫻ Claire's biggest secret is her past. She hates the abuse she suffers and will do anything to move on from it. To her, her parents died long before she was even born, and she lived with her grandparents for god knows how long. In addition, she keeps her sex life a secret due to the shame associated with it, and that she's not quite ready to come out as bisexual.

DESIRES ⫻ Claire wants to have fun and will go to any length to forget about the past. Whether it's indulging in any physical pleasure from sex, drugs, or liquor. The consequences are irrelevant.

SEXUALITY ⫻ Claire used to call herself straight, but she's willing to throw herself into the arms of anyone. She's entertained the thought and realized that she's bisexual from this point forward. Something that she's not willing to say out loud, but the girls of Farmer Hill don't seem to object.

FEARS ⫻ Above all else, Claire fears being weak. She fears that she lacks the strength to be her own person and that she'll fail when it's the most important. Which has caused an obsession with appearing tough, and looking for strength wherever she can.

REPUTATION ⫻ Claire's reputation in Farmer Hill is pretty shitty. For starters, she's seen as the town bicycle. That's not great. On the other hand, all the shitty things she's done like vandalism, theft, and other acts, are catching up to her. Everyone in Farmer Hill knows about her and knows she's a wild child.

PET PEEVES ⫻ Claire's main pet peeve is assuming things without knowing the context (or putting in the effort to learn it). Such as Claire, everyone assumes that she's trouble because of a variety of rumors, or just because they don't like her. She hates people who say and do things they don't believe in for approval, and she hates hypocrisy above all else.

QUIRKS ⫻ Claire has the oddest habit of them all... chewing on objects. It's a habit that she had when she was a kid. Whenever she gets a chance, she'll chew on a solid object that'll fit in her mouth. Which is why a lot of her childhood toys have chew marks on them.

BACKSTORY

"Why do you care about where I came from? Farmer Hill, Montana... Jesus..."

Claire was once a good girl, many moons ago. She had hope, she believed in something. She was just a native of Farmer Hill, the daughter of a diner owner, and a waitress. Everything was good... up until the diner was closed down due to running out of money. Then the O'Sullivan's idyllic dream went sour, and they moved to a trailer park in Mason Square. The downgrade tore the O'Sullivan family apart, and Claire's parents turned to alcohol to cope. And they weren't the happy kind of drunks. They were the violent kind of drunks that turned their rage on anything they could.

Claire was too young to understand alcohol, but she had no choice but to take the beatings with a straight face. Might as well, because it wasn't like Claire had any other options. She would go to school and lie about what happened. Eventually, Claire became the punching bag for all sorts of abuse, since her parents had no one else to vent their rage towards. And there wasn't anything Claire could do to stop them. She'd be homeless or dead if she tried to fight back, but this planted rage in Claire. Rage towards her parents, and rage towards herself due to being so weak.

There was some comfort in life; her grandparents. She went to stay with them as much as she could since they only lived a short walk away at their ranch. She stayed there long as she could, as much as she could. Coming up with excuse after excuse... until they got suspicious, and called child services. This was the relief that Claire was looking for, and she spilled everything they did. She was promptly removed from their household, and placed in the care of her grandparents. With her parents instructed to never come anywhere near her, or her grandparents.

This was like the dream that Claire was desperately looking for... only that the damage was already done. She thought that it was over, but the mental damage was already done. She couldn't help but think about them constantly, and it hurt her in every way. As she matured and developed, she lashed out and eventually sought solace wherever she possibly could. It started with hanging out with the wrong crowd, to trying drugs, to experimenting with the same gender. In the end... it became a habit that shaped her. Into a hedonist that wants to do anything to forget about the past, and erase those thoughts.

Though, there were a few people that were able to keep her on the straight on the straight and narrow, people that reminded her of what she really was deep down. The first person was Zoey Gray, a girl that Claire had known since she was a little girl - before the abuse started. Zoey and Claire were inseparable, and even with the changes, Zoey stuck with Claire. Their friendship was incredibly close (to the point where people wondered if they were seeing each other), but Claire wanted to keep it platonic. Because she felt like Zoey was too good for her - case in point, Zoey was beginning to emulate Claire.

The other person, who was more surprising, was Britney Williams, who was one of the town's princesses. Their friendship was formed by Britney's desire to rebel, and they became friends. Briefly, and secretly, they both became much closer than friends, but they drifted apart rather quickly. However, they remained in touch, remembering the fun they had.

Claire got through school, and wondered about her future... and decided to follow her long lost wish of becoming a nurse. Her grandparents had already saved up enough money for her to get through school, or at least try to, so she got into Grand Ridge Academy. Which she has been attending for a few months, trying to get her life back in order, but yet, she's finding it hard not to fall back onto old habits. She still had problems, and she still looked for ways to ease the pain, anything to make it hurt less. Having sex with her classmates made it hard to shake the "town bicycle" reputation she had before.

She still improved, however. At parties, she went a little lighter on a drinking and wasn't as easy as she once was. With the help of Zoey Gray at her side, she had her own little coach, and everything was going great. Then the semester ended and Zoey signed up for a camping trip that Grand Ridge was hosting that was supposed to take place over the summer, and Claire wondered, why not...

Claire had been through it all, from the massacre at the camp, to Awakening, but at Hillview High she met her end at the hands of the Glutton.

SKILLS & TALENTS

"Got a boo-boo? Let Dr. Claire patch it up."

Medical ⫻ Claire, for what it's worth, sticks to those books. She's determined to become a nurse and has all sorts of medical knowledge. She knows injuries, and how to treat them. Hand her a medkit, and she'll have a stab wound patched up to the best of her ability... enough to get someone to a real doctor.

Sneaky ⫻ Years of acting out requires years of hiding. There were several times where Claire had to dip and duck from someone she robbed or someone's house she vandalized. She turned it into an art, actually. Even if she got caught, she can run!

Tagging ⫻ A little thing she picked up from her friend Zoey was her talent with spraypainting. She has become an expert in tagging any surface and creating art from nothing.

ABSTRACTION

"Hey puddin'... do you really want that handjob now?"

SIGIL & LOCATION ⫻ Symbols of a sun, placed on her stomach over her belly button.

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Psionic-Strength, the ability to augment the user's body with their mental energy.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Claire's abstraction is practically a lower-yield version of telekinesis. Except she can only use that telekinesis on touch with other abilities. It's the manifestation of her will-power in her body and allows her to tap into a strength that no one else has access to. She is immensely stronger than a human being should be, being able to lift 450lb with no problem normally, and strike with bone-breaking amounts of force. Because it's telekinetic in nature, she doesn't have to worry about bracing, and grip, because a telekinetic-field is wrapped around it and allows her to move it. Simulating true strength. This ability also comes with a durability. When she senses danger, she subconsciously projects a defensive field around herself which blocks damage. However, there's a limit to how much it can take before breaking. It can, at most, stop five pistol rounds before giving in. Which means that weak-shit punches and kicks will only annoy her slightly. Whenever she uses her ability it creates a blue aura around herself, specifically the limb that is doing the work (so if she gets punched, the aura should appear at the point of impact). The Abstraction, like the powers of many Awakened, is linked to her emotions. Feeling anger will increase the potency of her strength, and durability. To the point where she can lift up 750lb, and take a barrage of bullets, at max rage. This changes the color of her aura to a bright-red color, and gives off a red "smoke."

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻ The mountain, of course, allows her to normally lift around 1050lb, and 1225lb when enraged. Making her a physical powerhouse, but it breaks a sub-conscious limit in her head and allows her to use telekinesis. It allows her to lift up any object that is below a hundred pounds, and small, and manipulate it. Twist it, move it, and send it flying. She can only lift up around two objects at a time, and it requires hand movement from both of her hands - one for each object.

LIMITS ⫻ Claire's abstraction, like many others, require a degree of mental effort in order to tap into its telekinetic force. Such prolongation of usage tends to weaken her body and mind; and in order to avoid a headache and fatigue, Claire has to limit herself in using her abstraction, usually few minutes of extensive and constant use before she feels such effects. Giving proper use and control, Claire manages to use her power for at least 30 minutes or two third of that if in stressful situations. Other Awakened can resist her field's effects, and thank blows from her.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ Claire's field can possibly be ignored by the Awakened, and other Extra-Normal beings. As her shield only protects her from physical harm, but not mental. A mental ability of any kind being used on her can interfere with the connection between her shield and her mind, and make her vulnerable by removing it. Or creating a weakness in the shell.

There wasn't anymore wall left before Kimberly was cornered by the copy, she was frozen in fear as she slumped downwards. The walking corpse hunched over her, staring her dead in the eyes.

And with a bony finger, the corpse ran a finger across her cheek and then cut her with it's sharpened fingers. A drizzle of blood went down her cheek as Kimberly was too scared to feel the sting. For a moment, Kimberly considered fighting, but she was too fucking confused as to what was going on. She never took any of the drugs, or even drunk anything (yet). How was any of this happening?

The thing retracted it's finger, before looming over her. She knew it was going for the kill soon... she could only hope to...

"Fuck, what shrooms did you take?"

Hearing the words of another person seemed to dispel the illusion. Everything went back to normal, and the hallucination (?) was gone. She looked around as she got up. She saw the light that was emitted by her phone on the ground, and quickly began to move over to it. She grabbed it, and then scanned around for the voice. She quickly saw Nathan and jolted (she was still a little spooked, after all).

"I..." Kimberly was about to say something, but then she stopped. "... saw a rat." She played it off.

"Ummmmm..." Kimberly trailed off, unsure of what to really say. "... I'm Kimberly." She said the first thing that came to mind.

When Nathan mentioned Kimberly screaming again (which Jordan clearly heard), she couldn't help but ask, "What?!"

Shit, this party was going wrong faster than she thought. If only she didn't have such a bad leg, she'd go in there and get Kimberly out herself. Not relying on this strange boy. She was about to swing back around and talk to Hagan about what the hell was going on, but she heard a loud twig snap around the corner. Her head immediately whipped around, and she bit her lip...

... Speak of the devil.

She saw the huge frame of Hagan around the corner with the widest grin on his face as he looked at the group. He laughed, muttering something to himself as he walked up with his hands in his pockets. "Oh woulda' look at this," He said with a incredulous look on his face. "The losers club tryna sneak into the real party."

He stopped to laugh as he wiped his face off a bit, before looking at them, "But you guys have the subtlety of a bull in a chinashop."

"Hagan-" Jordan tried to plead, but Hagan focused on the girl in the window.

"And you," Hagan said, "I don't recall ever letting you in, toostieroll." He said in a mocking tone as he turned his attention to the ladder.

"Ya'll won't be needing this," He said as he pushed over the ladder, and it fell over, breaking apart. He turned to the rest of the group and said, "I'd suggest if you don't want your asses kicked to Whitefish and back..."

"... I'd get out of here."
