Grenade's Character

Gareth Corrigan

"I’m not going to die here. Not today."

A life spent fending for himself has left Gareth lean and defined. He weighs in at 175lbs and stands at 6’ 1’’, a smile almost always on his face, but the slight slump of his shoulders gives the illusion of a shorter, wearier man. Short, dark brown hair stands disregarded on his head, left in whatever position it finds itself in. Icy blue eyes stare out into the world, his cold gaze taking in every detail; but in rare moments, one can see the warmth he tries so hard to hide sneak back in, if only for a little while.

Age:
24

Gender:
Male

Rich or Poor?:
Gareth is from the poorer end of the spectrum, having lived most of his life trying to support himself and his younger brother.

Sector:
2

For the Battle or Opposed?
Gareth’s opposed, but at the end of the day, there’s nothing he won’t do to get back to his brother.

Power Description:
Gareth has the ability to shape, increase, form, and manipulate ice. He can use this in a variety of different ways: creating cryokinetic constructs, freezing things to the near atomic level, temporarily healing wounds, and even entering into cryostasis. He has some control over water in its liquid form, but rarely does he access this part of his power, preferring ice. The cold never bothered him anyway.

Power Weakness
For his power to work, Gareth needs a source of water nearby. While he can form ice through condensation, this requires a lot more effort on his part, draining him considerably.

There’s also the more obvious issue of heat. If temperatures are hot enough, his ice will melt, rendering his power useless.

Weapon of Choice:
Trident and combat knife.

Fighting Skills:
Life in one of Sector Two’s rougher districts has hardened Gareth into a formidable brawler, able to hold his own and even dominate in a fight, given the right opponent. He’s also quite competent with a trident and a knife, having used both weapons time and time again to protect himself and his brother.

Personality:
Quiet and reserved, Gareth is a cautious man, made so by years spent in Aquanatic City’s streets. He’s untrusting, always suspicious of one’s intentions, never letting anyone get close; no one but his brother. Pride is something he can’t seem to let go of, never asking anyone for help. The way he sees it, if he can’t do it, no one can. Love is an emotion he rarely allows himself to feel, but when he does, he loves strongly. His brother means the world to him, the only family he has left, and he’ll do anything to protect him, no matter the cost. Hate, however, is something he feels often, and passionately. The Council has earnt his utmost enmity, as he believes they killed his mother, an innocent person, for all the wrong reasons: to make a point. The last thing he’d do is fight for their entertainment. But life, it seems, has other plans.

Biography:
Gareth Corrigan was a child of Sector Two, born and raised. He and his family lived in one of Aquanatic City’s poorer districts; his father worked a low-income job, and his mother was unemployed, opting to stay at home and raise him. His father, often away at work, rarely had time to bond with Gareth. As such, the boy developed a much stronger connection with his mother.

At the age of six, his brother, Daniel, was born. The moment he saw him, Gareth knew that he’d do anything to protect him. An instant connection was made, and from then onwards Gareth never let Danny out of his sight.

However, while Gareth and his mother felt only love for Danny, his father felt nothing but contempt. One morning, Gareth woke up to find only his mother and brother in the house, his father absent. While this was usually the case, as the nature of his work demanded it, Gareth knew that this time it was different.

His father had abandoned them.

The following years were a blur. His mother had managed to find a job, at the expense of her time at home. To help her, Gareth forsook his education in order to raise Danny, staying at home with him as she worked to keep food on the table. This carried on until he was thirteen. It was then that everything changed.

It was an evening like any other. His mother was due back home in less than half an hour, and Danny couldn’t wait to see her. But half an hour passed, and she didn’t come. An hour, and she was still nowhere to be seen. Another hour. Then another. Before he knew it, a sleepless, worry-filled night had passed, with no mother to show for it. Desperate for information, he switched on their television, searching for anything that might give him a clue to her whereabouts.

Much to his horror, his prayers were answered. On the screen was the unmistakable form of his mother, flanked by two of the Council's enforcers. They were addressing the camera and the crowd beyond it, speaking of a betrayal so huge that she could never redeem herself. She’d been caught plotting against the Council and charged with high treason, punishable by death. Her last words would forever stay in Gareth’s memory.

“Live, Gareth. Live.”

The enforcers pulled out their firearms, firing as one. She died instantly. From then onwards, life was never the same.

Gareth had to act quickly. He knew that within a day at most, the Council would come and reacquire his home, taking him and Danny away. With no time to lose, he packed as many things as he could, grabbed Danny and ran out into the city. They would drift without a home for many years to come.

Life on the street was rough. Days spent scavenging for food, looking for shelter and fighting the other homeless exhausted Gareth, deprived him of hope. But there was one thing that kept him going: Danny. No matter what, he decided, his brother would have a life.

He unlocked his powers one year later, at age fourteen. He’d managed to incur the wrath of a baker, having stolen and eaten some chocolate cake, and fled to the riverbank, diving in to swim to safety. However, the baker was quite the swimmer, and caught up quickly. Enraged, he took hold of Gareth, pushing him beneath the flowing current, depriving him of air. Panicked and slowly losing consciousness, Gareth thrashed out with his hands, hitting nothing; but all of a sudden, the man’s hands felt cold. Freezing, even. Rising above the water, he was shocked to see that the man was frozen from head to toe, just bobbing on the surface, covered in ice. As Gareth quickly swam to shore, a single thought nagged him in the back of his head: he was a Leviathan.

And now, at age twenty-four, Gareth has honed his control over his power, using it to help him and his brother get by. He feels good, for the most part. Danny’s happy, so he’s happy. But the Choosing Ceremonies are getting closer by the day, and two champions need to be chosen… and Gareth hopes to god that it won’t be him.

Likes:
The quiet.

Swimming.
Chocolate.
Engaging in a conversation; intelligent or not.

Dislikes:
Fighting.
Loud/arrogant/mean-spirited people.
Cherries with chocolate.
Living in poverty.
The Council.

Fears:
Gareth’s brother is all he has, just as Gareth is all Danny has. To lose Danny is unthinkable. To have Danny lose him is unfathomable. Making sure this doesn’t happen is what keeps Gareth going.

Being helpless, just as he was the night he lost his mother. To be unable to do anything, to be deprived of his power, to be weak; that is what he truly fears.

Weaknesses:
Calm and collected on the outside, Gareth is just a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Years and years of struggle and pain have piled themselves inside, ready to burst in a fit of emotion. The only question is: when?
He only trusts his brother, anyone else be damned. This extends to his next weakness: his pride. No matter what situation he finds himself in, he will never ask for help. If there’s anything life has taught him, it’s that it will never come.
He’s had no education, other than what his mother had taught him before her death.

Like @Mach2, I’m in a weird timezone. Living in Australia does that to you. I’m generally 10+ hours ahead of everyone, so when you guys are having a party in the OOC, I’m sound asleep.

@GreenGrenade
Looks good. I'll move him to the character section. Once the co-gms and I finish up, we'll be ready to start.

@Lord Wraith
Well, :P to you too!

@Virani
I've been mulling over that and @Lord Wraith is going to LOVE this, but I think we'll being doing mainly collabs when it comes to combat because it is so easy to get the other's opinion on what you want to happen in the fight. Who will win is up to the people fighting and the person that loses can either be killed or injured severely or escape, or, if you can't decide, I will flip a coin. Leave it to chance.

You good with that or do you have a better idea?

@GreenGrenade@Stein@Dark Light@Lord Wraith@fij707@Hillan@Mach2@hoppiholla391@Virani

Alright, so we will be starting some time within the next three days. Grenade is almost done with their character and Mach and I are almost done with the first IC post. Your first post should be your reaction should the Choosing and being lead onto the train and heading toward the Training Facility. Collabs are recommended since other people from your Sector are on the same train and going through the same thing. Just be thinking about this stuff. :)

Dark Light's 2nd Character

Emily Duran (Lilly)

Lily's painting

"Those that fear the dark haven't seen what the light can do!"
"Smile, it will all be alright"

Short, pretty with long glowing blonde/white hair and golden eyes. She radiates innocence with the sweetest smile. She is of average physic with soft curves from a lavish easy lifestyle. Smooth soft lightly tanned skin and a gentle touch.

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Rich or Poor?:
Very rich and proper.

Sector:
6 Light

For the Battle or Opposed?
Opposed, although willing to enter to find her brother.

Power Description:
Light manipulation
Lily's power comes from within her and not from her surrounding environment. Besides being able to create light around herself and control that in her close proximity she can also do the following with the right triggers.

Defense: when in danger lily can throw up a powerful sphere of light that acts like a force field.

Sustain: when injuries (her own or another's) are her only concern and she truly wishes it to heal, she can emit a light that will do just that.
The ability is often accompanied by a soft glowing halo that can also remove fatigue, hunger and negative temperature effects.

Last stand: when pushed to the edge Emily can release a blast of light from her hands that is accompanied by a strong concussive force. Also in times, rays or beams of similar light have shot from her hands helping her protect others or herself.

Power Weakness
While highly powerful and full of potential she hasn't mastered technical skills or control, instead more often relying on reactive abilities and luck. Her power is highly emotional based and she can't control it with will.

Weapon of Choice:
Dagger Whip and small sheild.

Fighting Skills:
Very basic self defence and some momentum redirecting martial arts.

Personality:
Bright, cheerful caring and optimistic.

Biography:
Emily has always been a bright cheerful optimistic child. Always seeing the good in people and the brights side of any situation.

Her parents were strict but good to her, she was mostly raised by servants and her brother when he had spare time. Oh how she adored her older brother and wanted nothing more than to be like him and spend more time with him, always failing to understand why she couldn't. Instead her own spare time was filled with reading and painting.

Light manipulation came easy and natural to her, at first she was so proud that she was like her brother, little did she realise she had superseded him without trying.
Levi warned her to hide it but it was hard, plus she thought they could train together if she showed everyone she was tough like him.
He never did see her as more then a child, but that was nothing compared to the look of betrayal on her parents faces when she excitedly displayed her abilities.

Her parents shun her severely after learning of her ability and took it as a serious insult. Emily was sent away on a long journey where she met a new family that she slowly came to realise was her new one. They were lovely and she made many wonderful new friends but at night she missed her brother.
