Profile : Student

Name:
Meredith Hillard

Age:
17

Gender:
Female. Unless she's feeling kinky.

Basic Information

Appearance:
Meredith stands at a fairly tall five foot eight. Generally speaking the girl tends to carry herself with a slumped and somewhat lazy and slow demeanor. Somewhat, messy disheveled blond hair is her usual styling, with bright blue-green eyes typically observing things behind glasses. She has a petite, slender body that doesn't seem too physically impressive at first glance likely the result of spending too much time studying rather than practicing physical pursuits. Oddly enough for most teenagers she's never had much problems with keeping her skin and physical appearance looking her best. Most would likely find her attractive, if not for her somewhat lazy and unkempt demeanor. Just a side effect of her abilities.

Personality:
- Slow to trust
- Shy when meeting new people
- Cheerful
- Reserved
- Methodical
- Slow to act
- Intelligent
- Gluttonous
- Somewhat 'out there'
- Spontaneous
- Mischievous
- Doesn't like conflict

Most people would likely find Meredith to be a bit...well, a bit on the shyer side when in public. She tends to more or less try to go unnoticed by others around her. Not because she is shy though, in reality she's just slow to warm up to people and tends to be fairly reserved in her actions until she does warm up to someone and tends to be rather slow to react to most others initially as she tries to determine what is the best method for her to get away unnoticed and appear the most 'normal'.

Aside from the fact she'd spend way to much time in the biology labs...

Once she does warm up to someone, they might see the more eccentric, mischievous and decidedly less cautious and reserved side of her. To those she's close too pranks, harmless flirting...dissection jokes...talking about how good someones 'body' is for scientific experiments...asking them for 'samples'...

Yeah, she's a bit on the macabre side once she warms up to people. She is totally harmless though.

Usually.

Just make sure to feed her. She tends to shy away from conflict, especially of the physical sort as she has a tendency to get carried away sometimes....

Backstory:
Meredith's history is a rather normal one. Born to a wealthy scientist and theoretical physicist Meredith had a fairly easy time growing up. She was quickly enrolled in the most prestigious academy her parents could get their hands on, and like her parents she quickly took to academics and sciences. Namely, Biology, anatomy, and other such pursuits. Much of her childhood spent growing up, she wanted to become a doctor. Unfortunately, it seemed she wouldn't live to see her accomplish such goals.

When Meredith was 14, she was diagnosed with cancer. Try as her parents and doctors might, they couldn't get rid of it and she was given about half a year to live. Well, she'd make the best of it in her usual manner. For the next seven months or so, Meredith spent her time doing whatever it was a fourteen year old could. Her parents took as much time off from work as they could and instead decided to travel with their daughter. Was the right thing to do, after all.

On the dawn of her supposed final week to live, something odd happened. Her health started getting better. Completely surprised at first, but it was a welcome. There was also a huge increase to her appetite. The doctors couldn't explain it, at first. It seemed over night she had just simply gotten 'better'. The cancerous cells and any tumors were gone. Completely.

A few days later, her abilities started manifesting. Needless to say the doctors were at first rather horrified when they found a mass of fleshy tendrils where Meredith had once been. And needless to say, the government had also been alerted to her new abilities. She spent the next three years in her parents care, with constant visits from government suit types until eventually she was enrolled in Palladium. Apparently, she was an extremely late bloomer as far as abilities go.

Other Skills:
- Cooking. Surprisingly.
- Biology, Sciences, and Maths.
- Video Games
- Multitasking
- Dissection

Power Set

Name:
Self-Biomass Manipulation

Abilities:

To put simply, Meredith has the ability to manipulate every part of her body via her abilities. Grow limbs, change her genetic structure, increase muscle mass to body-builder levels, and heal even the most fatal of wounds. Healing even works whilst she is unconscious. She could even consciously scrub her blood clean of any harmful chemicals and at any given time she can be extremely aware of whatever is happening within her own body after a moment or so of inspection.

How this works, is fairly simple. She creates the extra resources via stored 'Bio Energy' she gains from 'assimilating' organic material. She can literally digest anything, so long it is organic in nature. Plants, animals - anything so long as it is fleshy or organic. She can even filter out poisons and toxins while doing so, granted she'd have to be aware that it was poisonous to do it. 

She basically super charges the bodies natural rate of making these substances and modifies her body to account for the mutations. Perfect, Healthy, extra organs are also possible.

Weaknesses:

well, for one extreme pain is a huge consideration. Granted after years of practice she can ignore it fairly easily but its always a bit of a deterrence to any large modification.

Secondly, Fire tends to work very well against fleshy targets, even those with impressive regenerative abilities. While she can buffer herself against fire by increasing the amount of carbon in her body in whatever area facing the fire, it should be noted that this process would be quite inefficient in an already inefficient system. 

Acidic substances of any kind tend to also work fairly well.

By far what is the biggest drawback is though, is the sheer amount of energy and inefficient exchange rate it takes for her to use her abilities. Once she's started using her abilities, she can only make a limited number of alterations before she's completely exhausted and would need to eat something to restore her energy. Any changes of course, are permanent and once done they cost nothing but they can cost massive amounts of energy to get there. This also poses the problem of her becoming stuck in a certain form until she is able to replenish her energy - which could cause problems in and of itself.

There perhaps, could be a way to make this process more efficient but as of now she's had no luck modifying her body in a way that could help with this problem.

Also her clothes will likely tear easily and may become victims since they will likely be made out of organic material for a quick little snack if she has too.

Profile : Student

Name:
Halsey Adams

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Basic Information

Appearance:
In a word? Looks like a total stoner. Halsey stands at a fairly average five foot seven with sharp black hair, typically dressed in a loose fitting jacket, baggy pants and t-shirt. The older teenager has a somewhat larger, and it's clear she takes care of her body aside from her obvious smoking habits. She can typically be seen with some headphones around her neck blasting some metal or other rock music. Surprisingly, she is fairly athletic and could give most people a run for their money in any athletic and sports department.

Some comment she looks older than she is, much to her chagrin.

Personality:
- Friendly
- Lackadaisical
- laid back
- Athletic
- Likes sports
- Can't say no to a good challenge
- Likes avocados
- Fairly determined once she sets her mind on something.
- Observant
- Doesn't like overly complicated things

Backstory:
Halsey doesn't particularly talk much about her history, if only because it's about as boring as boring can come. She grew up in a country home out in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma. Big place, not a lot of people and waaaaay too much free time growing up. Got into a lot of trouble as a teenager - a lot in part thanks to her rather troublesome ability. At the age of seven, is when her ability started manifesting and became noticed when she melted the way through the bathtub while she was taking a bath.

The government quickly became aware of it, and of course kept a close eye on her and her abilities. Her life continued with them making sure he didn't harm himself or anyone else with his abilities, and after much deliberation, complaining, a few incidents at normal school and even a threat or two they finally got her to attend Palladium much to her dismay.

Yeah, she's not looking forward to being here.

Other Skills:
- Hand-to-hand combat. Boxing and restraining foes usually.
- Slacking
- ignoring people

Power Set

Name:
Acid Generation

Abilities:

Halsey, has the ability to generate an acidic substances from her skin, but unfortunately has no fine control over it. The acid is fairly strong, being able to eat through iron in a number of seconds, and steel in about half a minute. Other materials may take awhile depending on how strong and durable their chemical composition is.

Combined with its potency and her ability with hand-to-hand combat its a fairly useful ability if used creatively in close quarters.

Weaknesses:

Despite being a fairly good ability in close range, at long range it's...well, fairly useless. At best she can just 'throw' the acid about a yard away from him by forcefully expelling it in some manner. 

When faced with large amounts of non-acidic liquid, it will dilute the acid to safer levels.

Not really that good defensively speaking. At least yet.

Will eat through clothing in a matter of seconds, also much to her chagrin.

Profile:Student

Name:
Amelia Von Schultz

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Basic Information

Appearance:
With long black hair and standing at a tall five foot eight with an amber colored eye, Amelia carries herself with a high degree of grace and poise expected of her 'pedigree' as her family calls it. She takes great pride in both her appearance and how she carries herself, and most of the time it shows. She typically dresses in a modern black imperialistic military uniform, and often carries around a similar matching hat. At her side is a belt where her sword is kept, and she has a cloak she usually wears for more appearance purposes.

Of course, the thing most people seem to notice mostly, is the eyepatch she wears over her left eye. Under it, is where her 'Conduit' is located.

Personality:
-Studious
-Serious
-No Nonsense
-Orderly
-Forceful
-Terrified of failure
-tends to be rather hard on herself.
-Likes to...'trick people' with her abilities.
-Somewhat Paranoid, and surprisingly easy to startle though its difficult to tell most of the time.

Serious, no nonsense, and for the most part Amelia is a heavy stickler for rules, order, and peace, and doesn't care what methods are used to achieve those things. She takes studies, school, and anything she does with a serious attitude that doesn't tolerate failure of any kind. When generally relaxing or otherwise not doing anything important, one would find her to be much more amicable and a bit more open.

Backstory:
Amelia's history is a bit of an odd one. She didn't exactly what most would consider to be a 'Normal' childhood. While it was far from terrible, it was by no means perfect. Amelia's Grandfather, is by all means an old man too set in his ways and is stuck in the past, trying to cling to old glory and power, which colored many of his actions when raising children. The old man was once a general in Nazi Germany, when the first of the super powers became discovered by the public. Needless to say, he's more than a little...eccentric in both his beliefs, only being kept alive so long by his own abilities.

Growing up though, she was always a black sheep of the family. Her grandfather had the view that those with superpowers were humanities future. Unlike her two brothers and sister though, she didn't have any super powers, and was quickly left to her own devices growing up. For Amelia, this was a crushing development. She wanted nothing more than to impress and be acknowledged, but because of her lack of abilities, she wouldn't be able too.

So she thought she'd impress in other ways. Academics, marksmanship, fencing, and otherwise generally attempting everything she could to make up for her shortcomings. Eventually though, her grandfather sent her away at the age of fourteen to study abroad in Greece, the states, and other various areas. Still, she hoped that at least one day she'd be good enough to at least be something other than considered to be a 'failure'. It was then a family friend mentioned something called 'Conduits' to her. Intrigued, she decided to press him and dig around for more information regarding these objects. He was a collector of sorts - and some time ago during an excavation of an ancient tomb in greece they stumbled across an artifact of some sort that they had no knowledge of - he offered to let her have it.

Of course, as incredulous as she was about it at the time, she quickly accepted regardless. So she attained the eye, losing her natural eye in the process. After returning home, she expected to be greeted with some amount of respect...but it didn't seem much had changed, and eventually she was told to attend Palladium. She made quite a bit of a name for herself after the first year there, becoming rank three after the first year trials, and becoming head of the student disciplinary committee.

Other Skills:
-Trained marksman with small arms
- Trained with traditional swordsmanship and fencing
- trained in most academic fields, and fairly athletic
- Multilingual, and speaks a variety of languages.

Power Set

Name:
Eye of Timore: Fear Empowerment, Constructs, and illusions

Abilities:

Amelia's Conduit allows her to both empower herself through the emotion known as 'fear' - from others or herself - as well as create a variety of semi-solid constructs with them, as well as induce fear into others via hallucinations. The conduit takes the place of her left eye, and the sclera is completely black with a blue pupil that shines slightly.

As far as the physical abilities go, increased perception, strength, reaction time, agility, etc. Typical things such as that, as well as the ability to keep fighting despite sever injuries as long as the limb isn't completely mangled or she's dealt a clearly fatal blow.

As for the 'constructs', she is able to form this 'Emotional Energy' into solid states to create a variety of different items with properties similar to their actual counterparts.

Lastly, She is able to induce small scale hallucinations in others via the same energy. She is able to make one imagine an object is something that would absolutely terrify them. A scrap of paper could appear as a spider to someone with arachnophobia. During combat scenarios, the effects can differ. Someone with fear of water or drowning, might find the environment suddenly turning into a pool of water, with them at the bottom of it. The effects of these illusions are nigh absolute - and while one could be very aware that one is inside of an illusion of some sort, breaking free of it would be easier said than done, regardless - especially since your entire body is being tricked into thinking the events are real.

She can store a limited amount of this energy for usage, but its much more powerful if she's making use of it on site.

Weaknesses:

The most obvious downside to her abilities, is that they must feed off of fear in some capacity. Whether they be hers, her opponents, or innocent by standards. In a total chaos situation she could be incredibly powerful indeed, but in a more peaceful and less chaotic situation one might find her abilities are a bit less effective than potentially possible.

Secondly, the constructs must be of real things and are only temporary. Chains, a brick wall to deflect an attack. The strength of course, depends mostly on the willpower of the user and how much 'fear' they have absorbed and how 'fearful' they currently are. An illusory brick wall would be stronger the more fear the user is currently feeling - or rather, how in fear of their lives they are.

The illusions, are only that - illusions. Against the average person they would be fairly incredibly powerful, and those of similar minds to Amelia. Against those with more intelligent, alien, or otherwise just stronger minds in general would find the abilities to be much less capturing. They also do not cause any direct physical damage - they simply overload the brain itself with the idea that its dead, defeated, and tricks the body into thinking it can't actually move. 

Currently the illusions show depend on the person affected, and she currently has no control over what is shown.

The owner of the eye, is also plagued by constant nightmares for the sake of fueling the eye's own power, usually resulting in many sleepless nights, or nights where sleep is difficult. The owner constantly feels uneasy and fearful, to the point of paranoia sometimes. Amelia has a good grasp and level head about it, usually, but at times she might have trouble controlling herself. Fear of any kind is a powerful motivator, as well as a defense mechanism.

Other:

-Head of the Disciplinary committee
-Created and is the current leader of the Fencing Club

Profile :Staff

Name:
Katherine Sinclair. 'Kat' to the students and other staff.

Age:
47

Gender:
Female

Basic Information

Appearance:
The first thing most people would notice, is the high-tech eyepatch and scarring over her left eye. (She proudly comments she lost it in a knife fight). The next, is the short cut black hair hair and dull bluish-grey eyes are the things people would notice about her. Standing roughly at five foot seven with a somewhat large frame and rather athletic build she can come off as a bit intimidating to some people. Her snarky attitude doesn't help either. Typically she wears very casual suits and pants, often time wearing them very loosely.

Kat, has incredibly defined muscles that old age and her smoking and drinking habits don't seem to bother too much. Even at her old age, she prides herself in maintaining top-physical condition.

Personality:
-Tough
-Friendly
-Talkative
-Easily annoyed
-Don't take shit from no one

Kat easily falls under the 'cool teacher that don't give a shit about the curriculum'. That's not saying she doesn't care about her students and doesn't teach 'em or give them counsel if they need it, she just doesn't like sticking to the more conventional methods. She cares for her students, and likes to try and guide them - to stop them from making the same fuck ups she did in her youth.

Backstory:
History? What history? Kat's history is buried under miles and miles of redacted files, misinformation, government coverups and outright lies. She's an old girl with a rather...colorful history. She's been on both sides of the law, and is legally unable to talk about any side of it.

Her most consistent history though, can be found when she was officially given civilian status at the age of 30, which is also when she was married and retired from any sort of shenanigans. What most people know is that she is currently still happily married, has a daughter with abilities, though for various reasons Kat herself doesn't talk about, doesn't attend Palladium. She currently works as a Counselor as well as Evaluator for the students.

There are rumors that she's not completely retired though, and that she's at the school for some reason.

Other Skills:
-Close Quarters Combat, namely boxing.
-How to maintain, handle, and use most firearms
-Strategic planning
-Makes a delicious pasta.

Specialization:
Student Evaluation proctor, and Counselor

Power Set

Name:
Aegis Barrier - Force field Generation

Abilities:

Kat has the ability to make, and manipulate localized force fields and barriers. She most often employs this by keeping what someone might refer to as a 'shield' around herself almost at all times that can effectively absorb most physical and projectile attacks up to a threshold. And while it's no means impenetrable, it can easily provide quite a bit of protection from most projectiles.

The force fields can come in many shape and sizes, though most often she prefers making them sphere or square shaped and can be used for more than just defensive purposes. Slamming a large one into an enemy at high speeds tends to hurt. Not to mention trapping, and slowly crushing something to death inside of one. Her favorite though, is using them like bullets themselves.

Of course, they can be used traditionally for defense, if she has to, though it's not her preference, even if it's what she's probably most skilled at using them for.

Most often, they appear clear, turning a dark blue color near the edges.

She can use them to also increase the physical strength of her blows, if needed since she's technically hitting you with a force field, as well as make herself appear super-human strong at times.

Weaknesses:

The only real hard limit on Kat's abilities, is their weight limit and range. They can only lift up to around 1-ton of weight and exert a similar amount of force when used offensively. When used defensively, their strength varies on size as well as Kat's own physical fatigue and abilities. The barriers have a max range of around five yards in a circle using Kat as the center in any direction.

Other:

- Has a daughter
-Is married
-Yes, drink and smokes enough to kill a small animal
-often comes to her job with a hangover
-Will sometimes suplex things, just because she can.
