"I don't see a reason to kill anyone if it's not necessary."
Personal Information
Name: Johnathan Quinn, but he goes by Sparks
Team Title: Stormbreaker
Official Title: Sparks
Gender: male
Age: 25
Position: Linked Asylum
----------- AMRO Stats -----------
Specialty: Hybrid
Code: CXXIII (123)
Position of Tattoo: left shoulder
Alch-Specs: electric affinity
Details: Sparks is able to manipulate electricity, and create or absorb electric current and charges. He is sensitive to its flow and can change it, or cause it to bend towards himself.
Alchemic Style: Vocum (Primary); Sigillum (Secondary)
Weapons
Lightning: This telescoping sword is only about two and a half feet long when fully extended, but can collapse down to just the length of the hilt. The blade is fairly sharp, but the real damage is done by a thin layer of plasma on its edge. The plasma makes the blade just about melt through whatever it tries to cut. Sparks carries the collapsed sword in his jeans pocket.
Whip: Sparks got the idea for this weapon from Indiana Jones. 8 feet long, a thin wire winds around the length of the whip to transmit his electricity. It does not have a cracker, as there is no reason to make it a noisy weapon. He has a decent amount of skill in its use, and can use it either to strike or to curl around a target to keep them immobile, as well as a variety of tricks. The coiled whip is stored in a large pocket sewn into the lining of his jacket.
Dancer: A tablet with a high powered processor and a large chunk of memory. Dancer is Sparks' life. Built with Cam's help, Sparks has programmed it with an AI, and is always adding to her, upgrading and improving. He has several backup copies stashed in case of the unthinkable, but he is very attached to Dancer. In addition to the AI system, Dancer has a full suite of hacking tools designed to intercept and modify data. Account hijacking is not what Dancer is for; she is an elegant machine with an eye towards the main systems of electronics. Sparks will often use her in conjunction with his own electrical manipulation, and her battery is designed so that he can charge her himself.
Appearance
Sparks is a tall young man, standing 6'1" when he doesn't slouch. His amber-brown eyes are lively, and he has a broad, easy grin that puts others at ease. His light blue hair he wears spiky and short, save for a long, slender braid at the nape of his neck. His skin is slightly tanned from excursions at the AMRO's behest. If not for them, he would likely only sport the tan of an LCD screen. He rides the fine line between athletic and just plain thin, again due to the influence of AMRO.
Casual clothing is the rule of the day with Sparks. He hates suit and other formal wear. T-shirts and jeans are where it's at. He would rather parade around in a revealing dress than put on a tie.
Personality
Sparks is cheerful and laid back, preferring to go with the flow. He neither angers nor takes offense easily, and he tolerates others' quirks and shortcomings without giving it much mind. He is friendly and generally smiling, always looking on the bright side of things. His upbeat personality is nice to be around, and his good humor frequently rubs off on those around him.
Sparks doesn't like killing, though he does understand that rogue alchemists are a danger and need to be dealt with. He's a sucker for a person in distress, particularly a woman or child. He doesn't like seeing people upset, and will provide a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on for just about anybody. These traits, along with his ever-present cheer, make him very likable and he makes friends with ease.
Although he is younger than his sister, he still looks after Bits as if he were the elder. He allows himself to be used as a crutch, keeping others at a comfortable distance for her, and doing most of the communicating. He loves her dearly, though he wishes she would open up and hopes she someday will learn to rely on him less. Still, he doesn't have the heart to force her.
History
Sparks and his sister grew up in foster care after their parents died. Sparks doesn't remember them at all. The Academy took them when he was six.
Other
~Theme Song: White and Nerdy
~He has a minor obsession with computers and other technology.
~Sparks knows Cams pretty well, and is actually friends with him, inasmuch as Cams ever has friends. At least the other guy tolerates his presence. Sparks knows not to press Cams or overwhelm him, and they get along well enough. The pair worked together to make Dancer when Sparks was 16.
~He is a brilliant coder, and with Dancer's help getting at the meat of code, he can tweak things to his heart's content.
~Sparks is a gamer, enjoying a wide range of handheld, PC, and console games. He often messes with cheats or even the code of the games themselves for additional enjoyment.

Personal Information
Name: Samantha Quinn, but she goes by Two-Bits or just Bits
Team Title: Stormbreaker
Official Title: Two-Bits
Gender: female
Age: 28
Position: Linked Asylum
----------- AMRO Stats -----------
Specialty: Silencer
Code: CCXII (212)
Position of Tattoo: left hip
Alch-Specs: water affinity
Details: Bits is essentially a water bender. She is able to pull moisture from her environment in most situations, and use it to strike and block attacks.
Alchemic Style: Motem (Primary); Vocum (Secondary)
Weapons
Dual Pistols: Bits' preferred weapons, these guns are enhanced versions of the SIG P229, with improved range and accuracy, as well as reduced recoil and design modifications to reduce the time required for reloading. She utilizes anti-alchemy bullets in both. These are stored in shoulder holsters under her jacket.
Heavily Modified VSS Vintorez: This marksman rifle has a custom grip molded to her hand and an attachable scope. It is internally suppressed, and fires subsonic rounds. Hers has been upgraded for improved accuracy and reduced recoil. The biggest changes, however, are how to how it stores. The stock started out detachable, of course, but now clever use of materials and advanced mechanics allow the whole thing to collapse small enough to fit in a laptop case. It takes 9x39mm bullets in 20 round magazines. She uses anti-alchemy bullets most of the time, but also carries specialized bullets of two other varieties. One is a lightning round, designed to foul electronics and machines from a distance. The other is explosive rounds.
Electric Ward Alchemy Charm: In the form of an everyday necklace pendant, this item absorbs and dissipates a portion of the transferred charge, should Sparks hit her with his alchemy in a fight. Unfortunately the potency wears off slowly, so she has to get a new one every year.
Appearance
Bits is 5'8", with a well-toned physique that is a little on the soft side. Her skin is usually sun-bronzed, though she lightens a few shades over the course of the winter months. Her wide, dark blue eyes frequently hold a nervous or uncertain expression, and she often bites her lip. Her dark brown hair has a slight natural wave, and she wears it long, using it as a barrier to separate herself from others. She uses subtle makeup, nothing eye-catching, and likes having her nails painted.
In a similar vein, Bits has a fondness for cute or pretty clothing. She likes dresses, though nothing fancy. Simple is best, in her opinion. However, she is aware of what clothing is appropriate for a situation, and her everyday dress is casual. She likes bell-bottoms and long-sleeved shirts, and almost always wears a lightweight jacket to conceal her shoulder holsters.
Personality
Bits is a withdrawn individual, reluctant to interact even with those she knows. She prefers to let her brother do the talking, and will go so far as to practically hide behind him. She doesn't say much, and avoids eye contact and physical proximity to others. She is generally nervous or even frightened in social situations, and often uncertain of where she stands with other people.
Despite her introverted nature, she can be a sweet person. For her very few friends, she is willing to go above and beyond even what she would do for herself. She has a good sense of humor, though it rarely shows, buried underneath uncertainty and a lack of confidence. On the rare occasions when she is pushed into losing her temper, she can be fiercely protective and often unreasonable. Her protective side can also be seen in silent disapproval, or when she simply moves between the one she wishes to defend and whatever she is trying to ward off, creating a wordless but rather stubborn barrier.
She is not generally violent, but when it comes to rogue alchemists she has little mercy. They are menaces to society, and need to be removed. In this aspect, she is much like any other Silencer. However, she has good self-control and doesn't often lose her temper.
History
Bits and her brother ended up in foster care after the death of their parents, who were rogue alchemists. Bits has only vague memories of her mother, and none of her father. The Academy came for them after a traumatic incident when she was nine.
Other
~Theme Songs: Imaginary and It's the Fear
~Bits greatly dislikes alchemy, perhaps even fears it. This includes her own abilites -- particularly her own, in fact.
~Bits is not fully ambidextrous, but she is quite good at using her left hand for certain things.
~She enjoys cooking, and is a great cook.
~Swimming is one of her favorite activities.
Cams: At fifteen, Sparks ran into the tween when in the halls at Innocence, quite literally. Cam's armful of papers scattered, and the older boy helped pick them up, noticing in passing a few schematics among them but thinking nothing of it. A week or two later he saw Cams fixing someone's phone, and the schematics came to mind. Eventually, partially through Sparks' persistance, partially through his willingness to be around but not overwhelming, and partially through his cheerful nature, the two became friends. While not super close, Cams doesn't mind Sparks /too/ much, and Sparks counts Cams among those he likes most. Together, the pair created Dancer.
