New Rivière City: The End of an Era

Salvador Diaz, Max Diaz and Rori Aherne

"The place is going to be crawling with NEST agents, so no starting fights or anything," Salvador's glare was directed towards Max.

"I'm not that stupid," the nineteen year old retorted, rolling her eyes. The group of three was moving relatively quickly through the outer ring of the city towards were the festival was taking place. They managed to get about undisturbed by other people who lived there, mostly due to Sal having a slightly intimidating look to him. Max too, really. Rori was the only one that looked at all harmless.

"I was just making sure you're both aware."

Rori was aware, of course. There was a reason that they were wearing a hoody even in this weather. The soft feathers that ran down their arms were a big give away to the fact that they had features that weren't quite human. The feathers also added to the fact that they were already overheating. They could only hope that nobody decided to look up close.

"I don't see why we're going to this festival anyway. As much as I'm looking forward to the more scandalous side of it," Max grinned slightly at the thought of that, "the rest is all just a bit... lame. I don't exactly have money to spend on things." Though Max certainly wasn't going to complain if anyone came onto her, no matter which gender.

"Almost everyone from the city participates in the city. There is always the chance we will find people that we can... get along with. And if not, people don't notice if things go missing when it's so busy and they're so distracted," Sal lowered his voice as he spoke and they got into the area were there were more people bustling in the streets. It certainly was busy.

"But there are also NEST agents everywhere and I hate being careful," Max huffed, before a frown formed on her lips. "What if I brush up against a, y'know, metahuman."

"You are expecting to have skin to skin contact with others?"

"Hmm, well when you put it that way... yes."

"I would prefer if you keep any escapades to yourself," Sal looked just slightly irritated, but also amused, at his younger sister. "And carry any consequences of that."

"Well fine- wait," Max paused, narrowing her dark eyes. "Where did Rori go?" As they'd gotten more into the crowd and festival their overly cheerful had disappeared somewhere into the mass of people. "I swear they were here just a minute ago."

"They'll be fine," Sal shook his head slightly at Max's concern. It was hardly like Rori couldn't hold their own. "I'm not worried about them starting fights. You, on the other hand," he glanced over at her, tone turning slightly teasing.

"That is an unfair accusation," Max snapped, looking slightly annoyed. "They may be able to, but I'd rather we find them!"

"Fine, you lead the way."

"I will!" After hesitating for a moment Max turned slightly and headed in the direction she hoped her cousin had gone.

Rori Aherne

_{@Mr Allen J}

Rori was lost. Though they weren't particularly bothered about that. They could easily enough find Salvador and Max if they really needed to and found a quiet street. Being able to turn into a bird sometimes had its perks.

Being small also had its perks like being able to move through the crowds quite easily. And wow were the stalls amazing! Rori hadn't seen anything like it in their life. There were so many people. It was pretty overwhelming but Rori was enjoying it all. They hadn't been around so many people for a while and they did like people. Maybe they would meet some people to talk to that weren't their cousins!

Rori was too busy looking directly at the stalls, unable to really notice where she was walking due to the whole bird eye thing, that she walked straight into some blonde girl. And she was shorter than them! Rori wasn't used to people being shorter than them.

"Oh, sorry, I wasn't looking where I was walking," Rori managed to cheep out, surprisingly cheerful even though the girl she had just walked into looked a bit... intimidating. The other girl with her didn't though. Maybe she would be friendly!

Rori just hoped this didn't start any trouble.

New Rivière City: The End of an Era

Arianne Dubois

Basic Information

Name:

Arianne Eve Dubois

Age:

24

Gender:

Female

Appearance:

Arianne stands at 5'6" and doesn't have the appearance of a trained individual. Her strength certainly isn't as great as some others within NEST, but that has never been her strength. Still she is fit enough after training and continuing to keep up this training. After all she does need to be able to face meta-humans.

Arianne has dark blonde hair, practically a dirty / sandy blond. While she keeps it relatively long, allowing it to fall past her shoulders, it is almost always tied up in a bun or a braid. Something to keep it out of the way. Her eyes are a light, pale blue. There is nothing spectacular about it. Her eyelashes and eyebrows are light to the point of not always being visible (she occasionally will remedy this with makeup, but often it isn't practical to do so). Her skin is pale, of the slightly reddish kind, with very few freckles. However she does have visible scars here and there. Very few are notable and merely things she has gotten in the line of duty. Her face is slender and somewhat long, like most of her is. It is softly curved with very few sharp angles.

Clothing wise she will be found most commonly in jeans and nice enough tops, tending to wear a mixture of blues, whites and purples. She does like wearing nice looking clothes, but of course has to make sacrifices when on the job.

Skills/Talents:

Brief Backstory:

Arianne was born to a middle class, living what was mostly a normal life as a child. She had one younger sister who she was close to and slightly protective of. None of her parents were meta-humans and as a result it was never something she gave any thought to.

Even as a child, however, Arianne was emotionally detached from the world. She didn't have very many friends at school and this wasn't helped by the fact that she was quite a bit smarter than others that were her age. She found it difficult to communicate with others and the only person she really got on with was her younger sister. She only got smarter as she grew up, gaining a certain affinity for things technological.

Arianne was nearing the end of school with an offer from one of the top colleges, when things changed for the worse. She had felt like she was being watched for a while but it wasn't till the night before her 18th birthday that she found out who it was. Some kind of metahuman, with a cerebral power type, had taken a fancy to her and the rest of her family. The metahuman broke in to their house and took all four members of the house hostage.

She prefers not to talk about what happened the weeks before someone worked out something was up with the Dubois family and called the authorities. With the discovery it was a metahuman it was NEST who was called and they managed to capture the man. The entire was left scarred. What only made the situation worse for Arianne was the clear effect it had had on her younger sister. As she lay in hospital, recovering from injuries inflicted upon her, she willed her sister not to remember.

The next morning her sister showed signs of memory loss. She claimed the events were 'hazy' and that she wasn't sure what had happened. Arianne tried this on her parents and they too forgot most of what had happened. Of course with NEST agents looking in to the incident they noticed the sudden memory loss of all the Dubois family excluding Arianne. As they went to register her as a meta-human she was given a choice between continuing her life as normal and joining NEST. She chose the latter.

Though the physical training was difficult for her (she hadn't had any military or police training, after all) Arianne easily passed all intelligence based tests. It took her longer than it should have to get through training but eventually she did.

After moving around a bit Arianne was settled in a position in New Rivière city. She has been there a few months and mostly does more intelligence and technological based work for NEST.

Power Information

Power Class: Cerebral

Power:

Arianne's power is memory manipulation.

Memory Reading:

With her memory manipulation comes the ability to also read other people's memories. Recent memories are easier to read. The further back they are the more difficult they are to read, often impossible. Along with this anyone with some kind of mental block / mind shield can prevent her reading their memories.

Memory Erasure:

The first part of her power that Arianne discovered and mastered is memory erasure. This erases a specific memory that a person holds. While she learned this first it is, in fact, the most difficult to do. To do this she must know some kind of details memory. So she cannot just delete any random memory. When a memory is deleted by Arianne it is as if the target is suffering from amnesia. They do not remember what happened as their memory appears to be 'hazy' or 'foggy.' People with especially strong minds can get over this.

Memory Creation:

This part of memory manipulation allows Arianne to create a memory and implant this into someone's mind. The more complex the memory the more difficult it is to put into the persons mind. In general Arianne does not use this ability as often as the rest as there aren't many occasions were she would want to create a new memory.

Memory Changing

The main part of memory manipulation. This allows Arianne to make changes to a memory that a person has. The more subtle the changes the easier it is. If she makes major changes it is more likely that someone is going to realise that their memory has been changed and remember the original memory. In terms of time it is rare that Arianne can change a memory that someone has from over a year ago.

Limits:

Arianne is limited by whether she knows a memory or not. While she can read memories she must maintain an incredible concentration to do this, and then keep this concentration to change it at all.

She is also limited in that she must either know the person very well (as in the case with her family) or be able to see them to read/change their memories.

It is rare she can change or access older memories or those that are over a year old. The more fresh the memory the easier it is to access it.

Sometimes people realise that something is wrong and that their memories have been changed. This is most often meta-humans in the Cerebral class or intelligent people.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:

Arianne suffers an equal, but temporary, memory loss to any memory manipulation that she has done. If she slightly changes someone's memory she will forgot small details from recent memories. This scales as the memory changes she makes do. She tries to keep this drawback secret. Along with this she just, in general, has a worse long term memory. She finds it incredibly difficult to remember any of her life from years ago (any memories are fuzzy and constantly changing).

After a certain amount of memory manipulation Arianne get's intense migraines. These often become ocular migraines which means she loses her eyesight and is pretty much helpless.

She needs to concentrate very hard to change memories meaning that she must ignore everything else around her (and as a result will not notice anything that might happen to her). This is especially the case when reading memories.

If someone has a particularly bad memory it is most likely to stick with her, particularly in dreams. This leads to temporary insomnia.

Relationships

Family:

Francis Dubois - Father
Susannah Dubois - Mother
Gabrielle Dubois - Sister

Dynamics:

Name | Impression | Relation |"Quote" |

Other

• A member of NEST, though certainly not one of the top or best. Relatively new and out of training
• Technologically gifted, having learnt things like hacking to help with her work in NEST. Also very very smart
• Aloof, bad at communication and socially unaware. Also still emotionally detached. Somewhat mentally affected by being held hostage but it seems to have less of a lasting effect on her than it should have.
