ALIGNMENT: Chaotic good

Personal

SEXUALITY: Gay (non-monogamous)
GENDER: Non-binary
PRONOUNS: He/him
ETHNICITY: Biracial - white/Native

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Wind Manipulation: The ability to bend wind to his will. He can slow down or speed up the speed of wind. He can create gusts of wind out of the air around him. He also has the potential to create massive wind-related weather, such as tornadoes.
• Wind Transformation: He's able to transform his body, including the clothes he's wearing, into wind to avoid attacks or travel a specific distance. It takes a lot of concentration to stay transformed. The longer the distance he travels, the more of a physical toll it takes on him.

SKILLS: 

• Hacking: He's mostly self-taught when it comes to hacking and has developed a high skill in it.
• Criminology: He has a Bachelor's and Master's degree in criminology and uses it to work as a freelance detective.
• Combat: He's skilled in basic self-defense as well as some generic combat. He mostly makes up his fighting as he goes along or learns from YouTube videos.
• Genius: Though his actions can often lead people to believe the opposite, Ivan is actually a child genius. He's mostly devoted his time to learning about technology, including hacking, and criminology.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Vulnerable: Though he has powers, he's still as vulnerable as the average non-powered human. He's not bulletproof. Any weapons or toxins can hurt him.
• Distrusting: Ivan has developed quite a distrusting nature toward people he doesn't know well. This often affects him forming new relationships, including allies, and makes making enemies easy.
• Prone to Paranoia: Along with his distrusting nature, he's often described as paranoid, though he thinks he's being rational and actually can resent being called paranoid, easily creating a rift between him and certain people.
• Hot Headed: He can be angered pretty easily when things don't go his way, also triggering his anxiety. He also gets hot headed around specific people at times, especially his older brother, Scott.
• Reckless: He's an act first think later kind of guy, often, even if he likes the idea of having a plan. When in the field, he prefers to go with his gut, which can easily get him in trouble.
• Lack of Control: His powers can be as unpredictable as the very wind he manipulates. The stronger he tries to push his abilities, the more he tries to push his limits, the harder controlling and maintaining both of his powers become.
• Physical Toll: Both of Ivan's powered abilities take a physical toll on him, depending on the strength he attempts to use them at. It can range from headaches, nose bleeds, to bouts of physical pain and even passing out. It often happens shortly after he's used his powers and especially happens when he tries to push the limits of his powers.

Appearance

GENERAL: Ivan stands at five feet and ten inches tall. He has an ivory skin tone, taking that from his father. His hair is a medium brown, cut short. His eyes are a dark green shade. He doesn't have any specific clothing style, rather preferring to wear whatever catches his eye, believing clothing shouldn't be gendered. He also has several scars from his struggle with self-harming littered across his arms, including a thick scar across each wrist that he doesn't remember how he got.

COSTUME: Ivan's Sparrow costume is mostly black with the occasional royal blue accent. He wears a black shirt underneath a royal blue jacket - on the back of the jacket is his symbol, painted in a sort of "spray paint" fashion. He wears a black domino mask over his eyes and a black choker around his neck. His pants are black with a royal blue belt around his waist - long enough to be wrapped twice, styled to appear as if it's hanging off his left hip. His gloves are black with the tips of the fingers royal blue. His boots are black with a thick royal blue line across the tops and the bottoms of them colored royal blue - they also stop just short of his knees and have a small, flat heel.

Personality

Like stated under his weaknesses, Ivan is distrusting, hot headed, reckless, and prone to paranoia - as well as conspiracy theories. He's very standoff with people he doesn't know that well, especially those he's just met, believing that trust should be earned rather than just given away. His anger issues, being a hot head, is possibly something he's inherited from his mother. He can even snap easily with those that he cares about. Because of his distrusting nature, he's prone to keeping secrets even though he tries to be honest with the people he cares about, mostly his family.

He's definitely an act first think later type of guy. He likes the idea of having a plan but never seems to have the patience to come up with one - at least never one that's bound to work. He looks up to some of the heroes of Aegis, wishing to be on their level someday though he's unsure if he'd ever want to join the team.

Ivan also struggles with self-harm tendencies, clinical depression and has Bipolar Disorder - the latter two he currently takes medication to help with. He doesn't remember when he first started self-harming but it's still a battle he fights every time, working his way at recovery.

While no longer the starry eyed wannabe hero he was at sixteen, he still believes he can do some good. He's just unsure with certain lines whether or not he'd ever choose to cross them. He's extremely protective over his loved ones, especially his family. Even if he doesn't always see eye to eye with them, it's clear he'd do anything to keep them safe.

History

Ivan was born the middle son of Monica and Hank Stane. As far as he's aware, he had a normal upbringing - except for the fact that his father left when he was six years old. From then on he was raised, along with his siblings, by a single mother. However Ivan has very little memories from before the age of thirteen which was the same age his powers manifested at. He'd been at school, pushed around by bullies when his hands suddenly started glowing white and the next thing he knew, a large gust of wind pushed the bullies back.

Naturally he ran to his older brother, Scott, a senior at the high school, panicking. It was then that he discovered his brother had manifested powers of his own. The two brothers decided to keep their powers between them. At sixteen, he discovered his sister, Lisa, and younger brother, Julian, had powers as well. The siblings stuck together for the most part, often butting heads, as their mother was often at work as one of the FBI's top agents.

At sixteen, Ivan first dawned the identity of Sparrow, clad in black and red. Having no experience or formal training, it quickly didn't work out well and he hung up his cape - so-to-speak. He focused on school, having earned a Bachelor's and Master's in criminology by the time he was twenty years old. After graduating, he started working as a freelance detective as well as a hacker for hire, keeping both jobs separate. He's recently decided to re-dawn his Sparrow identity, choosing different colors for his costume this time.

SCOTT STANE

FULL NAME: Scott Hank Stane 
CODENAME: Atlas
FACE CLAIM: Grant Gustin
AGE: 25 years
CATEGORY: Powered
TEAM: Unaffiliated vigilante
ALIGNMENT: Lawful good

Personal

SEXUALITY: Demi/bicurious
GENDER: Cisgender man
PRONOUNS: He/him
ETHNICITY: Biracial - white/Native

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Gravity Manipulation: The ability to bend gravity to his will. He's able to increase and decrease gravity on himself, objects, and other people. He's even able to take away gravity completely in an area, putting it in Zero G. Manipulating gravity on more than one object or person takes more concentration and is harder for him. Also the larger the object, the more strained his ability becomes.

SKILLS: All of his skills training came from his mother, who wanted him to be trained so he could protect his siblings while she was away.

• Marksmanship: While not on an advanced or expert level, he's an excellent marksman, specifically with his twin pistols.
• Combat: He's skilled in basic combat, focusing more on using his powers in a fight.
• Weaponry: He wields twin pistols and has trained to be able to fire them with precision.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Only Human: Scott's power gives him no invulnerability. He's not bulletproof. He can't take any more punches than the average non-powered human.
• Optimist: He tries to see the good in every situation. This can also be a strength however he can often be a blind optimist. And not considering the possibilities of what could go wrong in situations often leaves him ill-prepared - including emotionally and mentally - when those possibilities become reality.
• Over Protective: He's very protective of those he cares about - specifically but not limited to his younger siblings. This means he will often ignore his own well being to protect the ones he cares about, to keep them safe from danger. Their protection is often his first concern, even when his own life or the lives of civilians are at stake.
• Physical Toll: The more he tries to manipulate or the more he tries to push the limits of his gravity manipulation, the more of a physical toll it takes on his mind and body. The effects can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, throwing up, and even passing out.

Appearance

GENERAL: Scott stands at six feet and one inch tall. His skin is an ivory tone. His hair is a dark brown and cut short. His eyes are also a dark green shade. He prefers wearing comfy clothes - jeans, t-shirts, sweaters when it's cold. He doesn't think of himself as necessarily attractive so he doesn't usually wear anything that shows a lot of skin, choosing to remain covered up.

COSTUME: Scott's costume consists of plain clothes thrown together with a domino mask. His pants are black with a black belt and holsters for his pistols. He wears black boots that cover just past his ankles with dark green laces. He wears black gloves on his hands and a dark green domino mask covering his eyes. He wears a black tank top with a dark green hooded sweatshirt, unzipped on top and a black leather jacket unzipped on top of that.

Personality

Scott at his core is a gentle soul. He doesn't want to do any harm, he just wants to keep people safe, especially his family. His first instinct is to be kind with people and though he may lose his patience, he tries very hard to keep it. He doesn't like fighting however he's not a pacifist - and often gets into verbal arguments with his younger brother, Ivan. He tries his best no matter what the situation is.

He's often optimistic, to the point where it can be a flaw - making him ill-prepared when situations take a turn for the worst. However it helps him stay hopeful and sometimes that's just what he needs. He's also very protective of his siblings, overly so due to having to basically help his mother raise them and take care of them whenever she had to go out of town.  Though it takes a lot to make him get aggressive or hostile, his protectiveness over his siblings can easily spark those if he feels their threatened at all.

He also inherited the classic stubbornness that seems to come with his family. If he's put his mind to it, he'll do the best he can to get it done. If there's a roadblock put in front of him, he'll try his best to find a way through or around it. He's also prone to feeling guilty, feeling a weight on his shoulders that if something isn't right, he needs to do something about it, and if things just get worse, it's his fault. He still wonders if his biological father left because of him.

History

Scott was born the eldest child of Monica and Hank Stane. Growing up in Astaria, he was always closer to his mother than his father. He was excited each time he was told he'd be a big brother to a new sibling. He was nine years old when his father left him, his mother, and his siblings behind. He never knew why his father left and has often wondered if it had to do with him. After that he has very little memories of his life before he was sixteen years old. He specifically never thought much of it because when he did, it scared him.

Sixteen years old also happened to be when his powers manifested. He'd been in gym class, playing soccer. He'd been hit in the chest, hard, with a soccer ball and his newfound powers reacted, increasing gravity on the field, crushing the bleachers on both sides of the field. The students and teacher were distracted by the bleachers' suddenly destruction, but he noticed the green glow to his hands. He hid in the locker room until the glowing stopped.

He hadn't decided if he should - or how he would even - tell anyone, including his mother about his new power when two days later, his younger brother, Ivan, came to him in a panic and he found out Ivan had powers of his own too. Being afraid for his younger brother, unsure what their new powers meant, he convinced Ivan that they needed to keep their powers to themselves until they had more information. They kept their powers secret for roughly three years.

At nineteen years old, he found out his younger sister, Lisa, and youngest brother, Julian, had powers too. He stuck close to his siblings, helping keep them together even when they butted heads and argued. He often took on a parental role with them when their mother was off on work for the FBI. He enrolled and got into the local university on a swimming scholarship. He won ranked in multiple competitions but was always more focused on his academics and his family life. After graduation, he joined a local swim team and was often told he could make it to the Olympics but was never quite sure if he wanted to pursue it that far or not.

He didn't dawn his Atlas identity until he was twenty-three and a swim meet got caught in the crossfire of an attack. He dawned jeans and a hoodie and used his powers to help keep people safe. After that, he got himself a mask to wear but still only dawns his costume when he feels it's absolutely necessary. He's still part of the swim team, unsure where he's going with it, but has also gotten a job as a local lifeguard.

LISA STANE

FULL NAME: Elizabeth "Lisa" Hope Stane
CODENAME: Chameleon
FACE CLAIM: Adelaide Kane
AGE: 21 years
CATEGORY: Powered
TEAM: Unaffiliated vigilante
ALIGNMENT: Neutral good

Personal

SEXUALITY: Bi
GENDER: Genderflux
PRONOUNS: She/her
ETHNICITY: Biracial - white/Native

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Invisibility: Lisa has the ability to turn herself and others invisible. This includes whatever clothes she's wearing. She can turn other people as well as objects invisible by making and maintaining a physical touch on them - not necessarily skin-to-skin contact as she doesn't have to remove her costume's gloves. However making more than just herself invisible takes a great deal of concentration and is much harder for her. The more people or objects she tries to make invisible, the more of a strain it takes on her. Larger objects are also harder for her to make and keep invisible.

SKILLS:

• Combat (basic): She has basic combat knowledge, mostly self-defense. It's enough for her to throw a punch without breaking her hand, but not necessarily enough to go up against an experienced fighter. She more so makes up her fighting style during a fight, attempting to be unpredictable.
• Weaponry: At fourteen years old, she asked her mother to train her in the use of a weapon. She chose escrima sticks. She's not gotten to a master or expert level yet but she's become quite skilled in wielding them under her mother's guidance.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Only Human: Her power doesn't protect her from any weaponry or diseases. She's as vulnerable as the average non-powered human.
• Reckless: She's an act first think later kind of girl. She doesn't like wasting time to think of a plan when she could just go in and get the job done then. This for obvious reasons can quickly get her in trouble and way over her head.
• Blunt: She gets her bluntness from her mother though not to the degree her mother has it. Still she doesn't often hold back on what she wants to say, what's on her mind. This can easily get her in trouble.
• Physical Toll: Her power takes a physical toll on her body - depending on how long she's been using it, the strength she's using it at, the size or amount of something or someone she's trying to keep invisible. The affects can vary from headaches, physical pain, nose bleeds, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
• Overconfident: She does have a habit of getting cocky and overestimating herself as well as underestimating her opponent.

Appearance

GENERAL: Lisa stands at five feet and four inches tall. She has an ivory skin tone and dark brown hair, just long enough to rest against her shoulders. The irises of her eyes are also dark green. She wears whatever she feels comfortable in - sometimes showing skin, sometimes covering up. She typically dresses more feminine but doesn't like to limit herself to any specific style.

COSTUME: Lisa's costume is a mixture of red and black. She wears black form fitting pants with a red belt looped twice around her waist. Her shirt is black under a red leather jacket. She has red knee-high boots and black gloves. She typically has her hair up in a ponytail. She covers her eyes with a red domino mask.

Personality

Lisa has grown a lot from the starry-eyed, princess-loving little girl she used to be. She does see the world as a darker place but remains hopeful, believing that a light can be found anywhere. She has a strong desire to protect those who cannot protect themselves, to join the fight against evil, and to make the world a better place. This was the driving factor that led her to becoming Chameleon, though she also believes she can do more good on her own than as a part of Aegis, thus why she's never joined the team.

She's feisty, a true spitfire. She's not scared easily, perhaps a trait she's learned from her mother. However when she's afraid, she's able to bring herself to continue despite her fear. It's not often she lets her fear hinder her. She's a confident, outgoing soul, not having many insecurities. She's extremely protective over those she cares about and isn't afraid to fight on their behalf.

She's also keen on sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Anything that peaks her interest, she's likely to try to get involved in. She's not prone to conspiracy theories and paranoia like her older brother, Ivan, but she knows trouble when she sees it and she knows to always trust her gut.

History

Elizabeth was born the only daughter of Monica and Hank Stane. She grew up in Astaria with her older brothers, Ivan and Scott, and younger brother, Julian. She was five years old when her father left their family behind, leaving her with little memories of him. In general, however, she has little memories of her life until she was roughly twelve years old.

Her ability manifested roughly around the age of twelve. She was hiding from her brothers to mess with them only to realize that even when they looked right at her, they couldn't see her. She panicked and hid in her room for hours until she reappeared and Scott found her there. She kept her ability to herself for years before telling her siblings. She eventually graduated high school and enrolled at the local college in Astaria.

At the age of nineteen, she first dawned the identity of the vigilante Chameleon. She did it, inspired by her older brother, Ivan, after having seen him try to vigilante a few years ago. She chose his original colors - black and red - and decided, just like her siblings, to not join an official team like Aegis. Instead she chose to fight crime alone, occasionally teaming up with her siblings.

JULIAN STANE

FULL NAME: Julian Tristan Stane
CODENAME: Vulcan
FACE CLAIM: Tom Holland
AGE: 20 years
CATEGORY: Powered
TEAM: Unaffiliated vigilante
ALIGNMENT: Neutral good

Personal

SEXUALITY: Pan
GENDER: Demigender
PRONOUNS: He/him
ETHNICITY: Biracial - white/Native

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Metal Manipulation: Julian is able to bend any type of metal to his will. The larger the metal, the more concentration is required and the larger the strain that it puts on him. He can make metal bend as easy as if it was a piece of paper. He can even manipulate a piece of metal and turn it into a liquid form and solidify it again - or take liquid metal and solidify it - however he's never tried to do that before and thus is unaware he can. Changing the state of metal - to or from a liquid state - would also take much more concentration and effort than simply bending a piece of metal.

SKILLS:

• Combat (basic): He's trained in enough combat that he can accurately defend himself in a fight but not so much that he could easily win a hand-to-hand combat fight.
• Swordsmanship: He's an excellent swordsman, having trained in fencing since high school. He's not a master or expert but he's close to being considered a prodigy in the sport.
• Multilingual: He's fluent in English and both British and American Sign Language.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Only Human: His power doesn't protect him from any weaponry or diseases. He's as vulnerable as the average non-powered human.
  
• Physical Toll: Depending on the strength he uses his power at and how much he pushes his limit, his metal manipulation often takes a toll on his body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
• Loyalty: He'd do anything to protect his loved ones.

Appearance

GENERAL: Julian stands at five feet and nine inches tall. His skin is an ivory tone and his hair is short and a medium brown shade. The irises of his eyes are also dark green. He wears whatever he feels comfortable in, typically but not limited to jeans and a t-shirt. 

COSTUME: Julian's costume is a mixture of black and silver. He wears black pants and a black shirt. Both his boots and jacket are black with silver accents. His best is silver and his gloves are black. He also wears a silver domino mask on his face.

Personality

Julian is sort of a mixture of his two brothers. He doesn't trust people right off the bat but he also doesn't immediately write them off. He's mischievous but not impulsive. He's brave and extremely loyal to and protective of his family and boyfriend. He's quite independent and extroverted. Though he doesn't remember his biological father, he has a strong hatred for that man. He wants to do all in his power to not grow up to be like him.

He looks up to his mother and his siblings, though he's also perfectly aware of their faults and flaws. Out of those he surrounds himself with, he's closest to his boyfriend, Shane. He's very tender, sweet, and patient with Shane. He likes to joke around and have a good time, but he also knows when to take things seriously.

History

Julian was born the youngest child of Monica and Hank Stane. He grew up in Astaria with his older siblings, Lisa, Ivan, and Scott Stane. He was four years old when his father left their family behind, leaving him with little to no memories of him. In general, though, he has little memories of his life before the age of eleven.

However his ability didn't manifest until he was roughly fourteen years old when he accidentally manipulated all the metal in a classroom while in detention. The first person he told was his older brother, Scott, before telling his other siblings. While in high school, he met and fell for Shane Keller, soon asking the young man out. He was there for Shane when his boyfriend first manifested his own ability.

After high school, he enrolled at Astaria's local university on a sports scholarship for fencing. About one year ago, he officially dawned the identity of Vulcan along with his boyfriend as Ichor. He chose not to join Aegis, wanting to follow in his older siblings' footsteps but also preferring to fight crime with just Shane by his side, though he occasionally teamed up with his siblings. He's been Vulcan for roughly a year now, gaining valuable experience as a vigilante.

[REDACTED]

FULL NAME: [redacted]
CODENAME: Perses
FACE CLAIM: Tom Cavanagh
AGE: 50 years
CATEGORY: Powered
TEAM: The Cabal
ALIGNMENT: Chaotic evil

Personal

SEXUALITY: Straight
GENDER: Cisgender man
PRONOUNS: He/him
ETHNICITY: White

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Shadow Travel: He's able to travel from one location to another through shadows and darkness.
• Darkness Generation: He can create pitch black darkness out of nothing. He's claimed to be able to cover an entire city in darkness, blocking out any and all light.
• Shadow Constructs: He's able to solidify shadows and darkness into objects, most often shaping them into some form of weaponry. He's also able to construct solid blasts of darkness with this ability.
• Shadow Puppets: He's able to create and effortlessly control mindless human-sized and shaped shadows. It's easier if he sets them to the same goal but he's able to direct them toward different goals.

SKILLS:

• Combat: Where he got his training from is unknown, but Perses has been known to hold his own in combat, though the true extent of his combat skill is also unknown.
  
• Weaponry: He's skilled in a variety of weapons, though he doesn't seem to ever equip himself with actual weapons, relying more on his shadow constructs.
• Manipulation: Perhaps his greatest skill, he's a master at manipulation, able to get his way with most people, able to find out what makes people tick and how best to exploit that for his own personal gain.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Ego: Perses thinks way too highly of himself. In his eyes, he can't make any mistakes. Anything that goes bad is never his fault. It makes it very hard to make and keep alliances.
• Sore Loser: He doesn't take loss well, often ducking out of a fight before he loses it. 
• Anger Issues: He has a violent temper that can negatively affect carefully crafted plans.

Appearance

GENERAL: Perses stands at 6'1" tall. His build is more on the thin side but not unhealthily so. His skin tone is an ivory shade, a bit toward the pale side from lack of sunlight. His eyes are a soft brown color. He has some scars littered across his body, small and faded, but surprisingly fewer scars than most people assume he has.

COSTUME: Perses' costume is all black - a black trench coat, on top of a black shirt, plant pants, black ankle boots, black gloves, black belt, and a black mask that covers his full head. The mask has technology in it that allows air in and out so he can breath, and can project his voice so he can be heard and not sound muffled. However the mask also makes his voice deeper than it actually is, helping even more to hide his identity. There are eye slots in the mask that allow him to see out though are tinted to hide his eyes. The technology in the mask allows him to see in the darkness he can create.

Personality

Perses primary trait is that of a manipulator. He uses people until he has no more use for them. He doesn't bat an eye, doesn't seem to care about the feelings or well beings of others. When he does appear to care, it's most likely a lie. When he's manipulating, though, he's good at it. He knows how to make others think he cares, he knows how to find their weaknesses and exploit them. He's cold and distant, never truly letting anyone get close, even if he lets them believe they're close to him.

He's calculated in every move he makes. Everything has to have a purpose. He can't bring himself to do something just to do it. It either benefits him or entertains him by bringing pain to someone he hates. His overall goal seems to be to gain power - he never tells anyone why or confirms their suspicions of him and his goals. He's willing to do whatever it takes to achieve anything he wants. He truly cares about no one but himself.

History

Nothing is known about Perses' life before the Cabal and that seems to be how he wants it. It's not even clear when or how he joined the Cabal. He quickly moved up the shadowy group's ranks, eventually becoming one of its highest ranking members. He gained several Cabal agents working under him over the years, including the Amadors. He spent many years in Sydney, Australia, focusing on training the Amadors for unknown reasons. He occasionally traveled to other cities and countries but always returned to Sydney to continue training the Amadors.

Then he and his agents came to Astaria. He arrived in Astaria a year ago though it doesn't appear to not be his first time in the city. A month ago, he called for the Amadors to relocate to Astaria. He appears to be putting together plans, whether said plans are in the Cabal's interest or just his, is unclear.

AMRIT RAO

FULL NAME: Amrit Kailash Rao
CODENAME: Mainframe

FACE CLAIM: Karan Brar
AGE: 18 years
CATEGORY: Powered
TEAM: The Cabal
ALIGNMENT: True neutral

Personal

SEXUALITY: Grey
GENDER: Non-binary
PRONOUNS: He/they
ETHNICITY: Indian

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Technopathy: Amrit is able to communicate and control technology with his mind. His eyes and occasionally his hands glow a pale green when he uses this power.
• Enhanced Intelligence: He learns quickly and easily and thinks at a faster rate than the average human. His intelligence is that of a genius and is believed to be linked to his powers.
• Slightly Enhanced Durability: While he may not be invulnerable, he can take more of a punch than the average person before breaking anything.
• Slightly Enhanced Strength: He's slightly stronger than the average person
• Sense Control: He's able to turn his senses on and off. He most often uses it with his sense of smell.

SKILLS:

• Hacking: He's a highly skilled hacker for his age, seemingly able to get into any computer system.
• Photographic Memory: He remembers anything and everything he learns and experiences. However this seems to be limited to only his life since the Cabal took him in.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Mortal: Though he is more durable than the average person, Amrit is not immortal or invulnerable.
• Virus: Computer viruses have a negative affect on him. He believes it has something to do with his technopathy. Their affect can vary from physical pain to making him sick.
• Physical Toll: Depending on the strength he uses his power at and how much he pushes his limit, his technopathy often takes a toll on his body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
• Controlled: Though he seems to be loyal to the Cabal, they have a way to control him when he disobeys orders. He's not sure how they do it but it causes him physical pain.

Appearance

GENERAL: Amrit stands at five feet and four inches tall. His skin is a gold shade. His hair is dark brown and cut short. His irises are a warm milk brown. He prefers wearing shirts he can button up - though he often leaves them unbuttoned on top of a short sleeve or tank top. He likes to dress comfortably while still maintaining a professional appearance.

COSTUME: Amrit does most of his work at various Cabal hideouts or headquarters and thus doesn't always wear his costume. When he does, he wears black pants, black shoes, a grey shirt, and a black lab coat on top with a grey domino mask covering his eyes and black gloves covering his hands.

Personality

As his civilian self, Amrit is a socially awkward kid, having never spent much time with people his own age before, always busy training or on a mission for the Cabal. Thus he isn't good at keeping up conversations with other people, often keeping his conversations to facts and work. He's also bad at reading and processing the emotions of others. Other people in general are hard for him to understand and he doesn't really try to understand them anymore.

For the most part, he keeps to himself until he's notified that the Cabal needs his abilities. As Mainframe, he's calm and professional, unphased - or at least appearing to be unphased - by anything he sees as an agent of the Cabal. His loyalty to the Cabal and its members seems to be entirely through being conditioned by them as he grew up. He doesn't think much about good versus evil, nor does he claim to care much about it.

He admittedly isn't all that sure of who he is outside of his role in the Cabal.

History

Amrit has no memories before he was taken in by the Cabal at the age of seven. All he knows is that his parents both died, making him an orphan, and that he would have died too if not for the Cabal. After being taken in by the Cabal, he was raised mostly by random agents, trained to be loyal to the shadowy organization.  He always seemed to have his enhanced intelligence, strength, and durability but his technopathy manifested when he was thirteen years old. He was quickly put into constant and rough training by the Cabal, both to help him control his abilities and to maintain his loyalty.

The training took fast and by the age of fourteen, he was already the Cabal's main hacker and information broker. At fifteen years old, for reasons he never found out, he was put under Perses' command and funneled majority of the information he found for the Cabal straight to Perses. Now at eighteen years old, at Perses' order, he has come to Astaria to assist the Cabal in whatever plans they have looming over the city.

FACE CLAIM: Diego Boneta
AGE: 27 years
CATEGORY: Powered
TEAM: The Cabal
ALIGNMENT: Neutral good

Personal

SEXUALITY: Bi
GENDER: Agender
PRONOUNS: He/him
ETHNICITY: Biracial - white/Hispanic

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Power Nullification Field: Ryan is able to generate, expand, and shrink a field that nullifies the non-human abilities of any powered person that is caught within the field. The field takes on a spherical shape and is not visible to the naked eye unless you focus, in which case you see it as ripples in the air similar to heat. The field itself has no temperature to it. Because the field generates from his body, he is always found standing in the center of it. The nullification affects last until either the field is dropped or the person leaves the field, in which case their abilities return to them instantly. Ryan's hands and eyes have been known to glow a sea green color when he uses this ability.

SKILLS:

• Combat: He's been trained in advanced combat by mentors hired by Perses.
• Weaponry: He's skilled in the weaponry that he wields when in his costume.
• Leadership: He's a natural leader and has honed that skill even more as he's grown up, seeming to have played a hand in raising his siblings and leads them on field missions.
• Multilingual: He's fluent in various languages including English, Spanish, and both American and British Sign Language.
  
• Guitar: He's quite skilled in playing the guitar (as well as singing).
  
• Stealth: He's been trained to be able to keep to the shadows and remain unseen during missions when needed.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Only Human: His power doesn't protect him from any weaponry or diseases. He's as vulnerable as the average non-powered human.
  
• Physical Toll: Depending on the strength he uses his power at and how much he pushes his limit, his ability often takes a toll on his body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out. The toll, as well as how fast it takes it to start to take a toll on him, can vary depending on the size of the field as well as how long he attempts to keep the field up for.
  
• Loyalty: His loyalty to Perses seems to blind him to any warning signs about the man, naively believing he's one of the good guys.
  
• Others First: He puts the well being of others, especially his younger siblings, often over his own best interests.
  
• Weight of the World: He puts more weight on his shoulders, figuratively, than he should which can often take a toll on his mental and emotional health.

Appearance

GENERAL: Ryan stands at five feet and eleven inches tall. His skin is a beige tone. His hair is a medium brown and short and curly, though he occasionally straightens it. The irises of his eyes are a dusty brown. His sense of style is diverse, preferring to wear whatever feels comfortable and looks good rather than limiting himself to a certain type of design or style.

COSTUME: Ryan dresses in all black from head to toe. He wears a mask that covers his whole face with white fabric where his eyes are. The mask's material is breathable, allowing him to breath while wearing it. He wears two items that appear, at first glance, like watches around each wrist. Each one is linked to the communicator he has in his ear and has a tracking function for the Cabal to know his whereabouts while on missions. They can also each summon a light blue energy shield to block attacks. They're also hooked into the Cabal's computer network and set to monitor his health, warning him when he starts to push himself too hard. He also has a dagger and bo staff hooked to his belt at his right hip and a tranquilizer gun holstered at his left hip.

Personality

Ryan is protective by nature. He's always believed that if he can help someone, he should. He wants what's best for the world, but especially what's best for his family. He's loyal to his family as well as the high ranking Cabal member known as Perses. He seems to genuinely believe the Cabal are the good guys. He thinks that by working for Perses, he's helping make the world a better place. However contrary to appearances, he doesn't trust blindly. He only fully trusts his siblings and Perses.

He's a kind and gentle soul, preferring not to harm someone unless he absolutely has to. He's fierce and goal-oriented when in the field as Null. Being a leader and taking charge comes naturally to him. He's able to adapt to almost any unforeseen circumstance that may pop up during a mission. He can easily focus on the task at hand, though he's much more laid back in his civilian life, preferring to avoid stressing over things as much as he can.

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Enhanced Vision: An ability he inherited from his mother, Caleb's sight is enhanced compared to that of the average person. This ability includes night vision and microscopic vision, as detailed below. This also allows him to have "20/20" vision and see things clearly when he concentrates and focuses on looking at something, someone, or simply his surroundings. This also helps him see through fog and even see clearly underwater.
• Night Vision: He's able to see in darkness, including the pitch darkness of caves. He has to consciously focus to get this vision to activate.
• Microscopic Vision: He's able to focus his vision on something - be it an object or a person - and essentially zoom in on what he's looking at, viewing it at a microscopic level as if he was using a microscope.
• Enhanced Accuracy: While he doesn't have perfect accuracy, he's able to accurately fire or throw various objects, mostly weapons, at an inhuman rate, hitting his target majority of the time. This ability, like his others, isn't a passive one and requires concentration and focus to use.

SKILLS:

• Combat: Due to training with the Cabal, he is highly skilled in combat.
• Stealth: He's trained in and become quite skilled in the art of stealth, able to remain unseen by most people when on missions for the Cabal.
• Marksmanship: Going hand in hand with his enhanced accuracy ability, he trained in marksmanship without the use of his accuracy in order to further his skill when he does use his ability.
• Weaponry: He's trained in and skilled in the art of using various weaponry, though he prefers using a sniper rifle, he can also put up a good fight with swords, knives, pistols, and whips.
• Assassination: Specifically with a sniper rifle, he's been sent on a couple assassin missions for the Cabal, growing this skill of his slowly but surely.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Only Human: He's not invulnerable. He can be harmed by any weapon, disease, poison, etc. that harms the average person.
• Physical Toll: Depending on the strength he uses his power at and how much he pushes his limit, his abilities often take a toll on his body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
  
• Needs to See: He needs to see in order to accurately fire a shot and in order to use an of his vision-related abilities.
• Daddy Issues: The topic of his father, who he believes is a deadbeat that left his mother, is a sensitive one for Caleb and an easy way to upset him. This has also left him with some abandonment issues.
• Concentration: He has to concentrate in order to use any of his abilities. If he's unable to focus or concentrate, it affects how well he can use his abilities.

Appearance

GENERAL: Caleb stands at six feet tall. His skin is an ivory tone. His hair is dirty blonde, straight, and cut short. The irises of his eyes are a deep green shade. His sense of style isn't anything specific, though he'll often just wear a t-shirt and jeans if he's off duty. He tends to wear his costume or a professional suit when on the job for the Cabal. He has a few small scars littered across his body from training.

COSTUME: Caleb is covered from head to toe in black with subtle touches of red, white, and blue accents. His mask covers his whole head with white over where his eyes are. The mask is made out of breathable material, allowing him to wear it for long periods of time. He wears a military style jacket over a long-sleeve shirt. He wears pants with combat boots on his feet. He has a belt with a pistol holstered on his left hip and a pack of ammo on his right hip. He also wears a chest sheath and has a combat knife sheathed on the right side of his chest and a Bowie knife sheathed on the left side of his chest, often hidden by his jacket. When sent on assassin missions, he has a sniper rifle strapped to his back.  He wears two items that appear, at first glance, like watches around each wrist. Each one is linked to the communicator he has in his ear and has a tracking function for the Cabal to know his whereabouts while on missions. They can also each summon a light blue energy shield to block attacks. They're also hooked into the Cabal's computer network and set to monitor his health, warning him when he starts to push himself too hard.

Personality

Caleb is work oriented, preferring to focus on the task at hand whether with the Cabal or in his personal life. He doesn't have any friends, avoiding getting close to anyone aside from his mother, though he's neglected to tell her he's working for a group like the Cabal. He has no qualms about working for the Cabal and doesn't necessarily believe everything they tell him. His reasons for working for such an organization remain unclear; sometimes he doesn't even seem to know himself.

Aside from his mother, he keeps to himself, rarely socializing outside of work with other agents of the Cabal, afraid of getting close to someone only to be abandoned. He struggled with feeling abandoned and unwanted by his biological father, despite how much his mother insisted the opposite was true, while growing up, recklessly acting out and getting into a lot of fights at school. He still has a short fuse when the topic of his father is brought up and though he's since graduated from school, he still occasionally gets into fights at the local bars.

When he's on a mission, he's cold and calculated, focused on getting the job done at whatever the cost. He doesn't always sleep well at night due to those costs but he continues on for reasons even he isn't always sure about. He tries not to think about what his mother would think if she knew he works for an organization like the Cabal, if she knew the Cabal existed but he wonders that a lot. He also wonders what his father would think, if he'd even care. He believes he wonders about his father far more than the man deserves.

History

Caleb was born in 1976 as the only son of Madeline Voclain aka Vista, one of the founding members and original pillars of Aegis. Unfortunately he was born with a rare disease, and a deadly one at that. The doctors weren't sure whether or not it was due to genetics, perhaps some side effect of however his parents got their powers, or random "luck." What they were sure of was that it was progressing faster than they could treat it. The decision was made to put him in stasis, which was purely experimental at the time. The stasis rapidly slowed down his aging, to the point where it seemed to completely stop, leaving him as an infant until he was released in 1990.

His birth certificate was changed to reflect 1990 as his birth year to avoid people questioning his age. He was also never told about the disease or the stasis that cured him.

Growing up, his biological father was never there and thus he never knew who he was. He grew up in Astaria, raised by his mother, who never dated or married, choosing to raise her son all on her own. His mother would tell him stories of her time in Aegis instead of reading children's books to him every night before bed.

Packages and letters with no return address would arrive in the mail for both him and his mother. Eventually he figured they were from his father and stopped opening them - he would keep them unopened in his closet or under his bed as a teenager but started throwing them away as an adult. He started fighting in school and causing problems in school after being made fun of for numerous reasons - kids thought he was gay simply because of how close he was to his mother (he still has no clue how that ever made sense to anyone). They also made fun of him for not having a father, made fun of his mother for being a single mother.

He was essentially kicked out of as many schools in Astaria as he could be before his mother sent him to military school at sixteen years old with the help of her former teammate, the Colonel. Needless to say he hated every second of that school but managed to stick through it until graduation. The distance from his mother hadn't put any figurative distance between them but he still felt something was missing from his life. Shortly after graduation, he bought a motorcycle, left in the middle of the night, leaving his mother a note saying he was fine and would be back, that he had his cell phone on him, and took off on a cross country trip, bringing along an old gun his mother gave him as a graduation gift, telling him it'd been used by a teammate of hers during the Vietnam War.

At some point during the trip, he met a man by the name of Perses. He doesn't fully remember when, how, or why, but the next thing he knew, he was working for the Cabal as an agent codenamed Quickshot. When he returned to Astaria, a year after he graduated from military school, he moved back in with his mother until he was twenty-three years old, when he managed to get his own apartment. He currently works as a security guard at the local museum, a job he got thanks to connections with the Cabal, though his main source of income remains his membership in the Cabal.

CODENAME: Valkyrie
FACE CLAIM: Julia Jones

CATEGORY: Powered
TEAM: Unaffiliated vigilante
ALIGNMENT: Chaotic neutral

Personal

SEXUALITY: Heteroflexible
GENDER: Cisgender woman
PRONOUNS: She/her
ETHNICITY: Native American

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Ability Nullification (touch): By touching someone with abilities, Monica is able to nullify their abilities for a specific time. This ability is limited to her hand however it appears to work through clothes, thus not requiring skin-to-skin contact. This has been known to last no shorter than a minute and no longer than twenty-four hours, though it's rare that it would last that long.
• Probability Manipulation: This is an ability she really has no control over. It just happens, things will just randomly go in her favor. Majority of the time, she doesn't even notice it and she isn't even fully sure she has this ability or if it's all just coincidences.

SKILLS:

• Hacking: Though she would never admit it, she's one of the best hackers in the world.
• Combat (advanced): Over the years, she's spent much time and devotion to learning multiple forms of combat and mastering them to the best of her ability.
• Weaponry (advanced): Just like her combat training, she devoted much time, specifically years, to learning how to wield a variety of weaponry.
• Stealth: She's highly skilled and knowledgeable in remaining unseen.
• Interrogation: She's skilled in interrogation, specifically how to break or manipulate someone to get the information she wants.
• Connections: Through her FBI as well as personal connections, she's able to pull in favors with powerful people when needed.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Only Human: None of Monica's powers protect her from being hurt. She's not bulletproof or invulnerable. She's as susceptible to being injured or getting sick as the average human.
• Pushing On: Along with getting hurt, she's likely to ignore her own injuries and pain in order to help someone else or take someone down. She's highly likely to push herself well past her limits with negative results.
• Hot Headed: She's cocky in her skills - sometimes for good reasons. This can lead to her underestimating her enemies or even overestimating herself.
• A Bit Too Blunt: She says what she wants, when she wants to. This can possibly have a negative affect on her personal relationships.
• Quick Temper: She can be angered easily and quickly - clouding her judgement. This happens the most often when she feels her children are being put in danger or are being hurt.

Appearance

GENERAL: Monica stands at five feet and nine inches tall. She has straight dark brown hair that brushes her shoulders. Her skin is a rose shade. Her eyes are a soft, medium brown. She prefers wearing clothes that she feels powerful and confident in, that show off her figure. She most often wears all black. Body language-wise, she holds herself purposefully to come off as intimidating or dangerous.

COSTUME: She's purposefully styled her costume after the style her children seem to prefer. She wears all black - pants, ankle boots with short and flat heels, a shirt with a leather jacket on top, gloves, and a domino mask. She usually has her hair tied up to keep it out of her face. She has no specific symbol or logo on her costume.

Personality

Monica is most often described as a brash and harsh woman. When she knows what she wants, she takes it. People get in her way, she's more likely to try to take them out than go around them. She has virtually no filter when it comes to what she says or how she feels. She makes it clear when she's angry and she'll make sure someone knows how she feels about them. She's very blunt in that regard. She doesn't understand lying to protect someone's feelings - unless that someone is one of her children or like a son/daughter/child to her.

Like stated under weaknesses, she has a quick temper and can get violent when angry. This doesn't mean she's prone to being abusive - she would never put her hands on someone she cared about like that. She's more likely to stab a table with a dagger to vent her frustration. She's also cocky, often thinking when it comes to physical skills, most people are beneath her and not worth her time in combat.

Monica is also prone to stubbornness which can often go along with her cockiness. Even if she's injured, she's likely to push on in order to achieve whatever goal she has at the time rather than pause it and receive medical treatment. This stubbornness also often bleeds into her protectiveness over the people she cares about, especially her children. She gets angry and violent when her children are threatened or put in danger. She's not a "helicopter mom" but is always there when her children truly need her.

History

Born Monica Emalee Clay, she grew up in Phoenix, Arizona with her family before moving to Astaria, Oregon to attend college. There she met and quickly fell in love with a sweet talker named Hank Stane, after meeting him at a local bar. Their relationship was a fast, hot, and unstable one. They moved in together after only a month of dating. They argued a lot and occasionally shoved each other. She took a self-defense class at her college, and started learning on her own how to fight and wield weapons. But she believed she loved Hank, despite the dysfunction of their relationship. When she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she told Hank and he proposed to her. The two of them then eloped.

She had two more kids with Hank after getting married. Their relationship continued to be dysfunctional. She knew for a fact that he was cheating on her, and she also found their intimacy together to be lacking. She had affairs of her own, choosing to not be committed to a man who had never really been committed to her. Then she had her youngest son. A few years later, when her eldest was nine years old, Hank walked out on their family. She didn't even bother going to the courts. She hacked into the databases and put herself and Hank as officially divorced.

Even while all that was going on, she'd been climbing the ranks of the FBI, slowly but surely becoming its top agent. She focused on her work and her children, determined to raise them as a successful single mother. Of course she had fun when she could - a girl has needs, after all.

Unlike her children, there are seemingly no gaps in Monica's memories. She developed her abilities when she was sixteen years old but never actually noticed them until she was thirty-one, when she was confronted by a powered criminal and she grabbed them, nullifying their own abilities. She traveled the world for the FBI, occasionally partnering up with agents of The Aegis, though she never wanted to join their team.

Eventually they came into contact with a masked criminal called Perses. Both of them barely escaped their battle and she spent the past year chasing him, only recently returning to Astaria. It's unclear when she officially took up her Valkyrie persona but she also seems very much aware of her children's vigilante personas. She seems to know much more about what goes on in Astaria than people think she should know.

AGE: 26 years
CATEGORY: Powered
TEAM: Unaffiliated criminal/thief
ALIGNMENT: Neutral evil

Personal

SEXUALITY: Bi
GENDER: Cisgender woman
PRONOUNS: She/her
ETHNICITY: White

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Fire Manipulation: Adara has the ability to bend fire to her will. She can even make it grow and increase or dissipate.
• Fire Generation: She's able to summon flames out of thin air, without needing a spark or anything flammable.
• Heat Resistance: She's unable to get overly hot or face the consequences of extreme heat such as sunburns or heat stroke.
• Burn Immunity: She's immune to the burning touch of fire. Flames can touch her hair and skin without causing her any harm.
• Fire Transformation: She has the ability to transform her whole body into being made out of flames. However this is an untapped ability that she doesn't know she possesses. Accidentally using it at this point would cause her to pass out shortly after.

SKILLS:

• Karate: Adara has a black belt in karate.
• Weaponry: Though she prefers doing all her fighting with her powers, she knows how to defend herself with a weapon decently enough.
• Stealth: She's able to remain unseen, hiding in shadows or blending into crowds.
• Thievery: She's an excellent thief, going hand-in-hand with her skill in stealth.
• Conning: She focuses her con-artist skill mostly on convincing people she's someone she's not in order to get close enough to steal from them or to just protect herself.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Only Human: Despite all her powers, Adara's not invulnerable. She's just as vulnerable to weapons, poisons, and diseases as the average non-powered human.
• Cold: She's very vulnerable to cold weather and environments. The colder she is, the harder it is for her to use her powers.
• Cocky: She's quite confident in her skill as a thief and can underestimate her opponent because of it.
• Water:  The wetter she gets, the harder it is to use her powers. For example, it's almost impossible for her to use her powers in the rain without passing out.
• Physical Toll: Using her powers takes a physical toll on her body and mind. The more she uses her powers or the more she pushes her limits, the stronger of a toll it takes. The effects can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, throwing up, and even passing out.

Appearance

GENERAL: Adara stands at five feet and seven inches tall. Her skin tone is a blush shade. She has long dark red hair that becomes wavy the farther down it goes. Her irises are also a warm brown shade. Her sense of style is just whatever she feels comfortable in or in the mood for. She most often prefers darker shades of colors but sometimes wears lighter shades with dresses or t-shirts. She likes to stand out in her civilian life and make people's heads turn so she typically wears something she thinks accomplishes that.

COSTUME: Torch's costume is made up of material she stole from Timothy Smith's laboratory at the Astaria Research Facility. Every part of her costume is fireproof and won't burn away. Her costume is all black with a touch of dark red accents. Her domino mask has high tech lenses that allow her to see in the dark and track her target. Her shirt is actually a v-neck tank top underneath a hooded jacket, unzipped. She has a belt around her waist with various tools needed for breaking and entering. She wears gloves on her hands. She also wears pants with knee high boots over the legs. The boots each have a short, flat heel. She typically has her hair tied up in a ponytail or put in a braid when she's in her costume.

Personality

Adara thinks of herself as a sort of Robin Hood. She doesn't give away what she steals but she likes to steal from those who have plenty to give. She steals both for the fun of it and to hurt the upper class. Unlike the fire she controls, she's not hot headed or quick to anger. She can easily remain calm in stressful situations - though she has her limits. Ironically she becomes more icy when angered. She is quick to defend herself when she feels threatened and doesn't mind being the one to throw the first punch or fireball.

At the moment she's a firm believer that if you want your life to be better, you have to do something about it. After spending years on her own, she believes that everyone has to take care of themselves, that you can't really count on other people because she never had anyone she could count on before. She believes she's better on her own and that to get close to someone is asking to be used and hurt.

However there is a kind soul that lives inside her. She just has so many walls up right now. A part of her actually hopes for someone who she feels comfortable enough around to let her guard down.

History

Adara was born in prison after her mother was incarcerated on drug trafficking charges. Her father wanted nothing to do with her and she was quickly put into the foster care system. She was taken in by a family and lived with them until she was thirteen years old. Growing up, it was clear that she wasn't wanted by that family, that all they wanted was the money they received for being her foster parents. At thirteen years old, she dropped out of school and ran away.

She was placed into several foster homes between thirteen and eighteen but ran away from each one. At eighteen years old, she was living on the streets, trying to stay out of trouble and keep herself safe. She learned quickly how to con and started conning random people to get money. She also started stealing. She was arrested at nineteen but managed to escape.

When she was twenty-one, she made the mistake of seeking shelter too close to where Timothy Smith was working on a fusion reactor. When the reactor exploded, she was caught in it. The fire of the explosion mixed with the radioactive energy of the reactor and bombarded her entire body. Her clothes were burned away but instead of burning her body, the energy soaked into her and changed her genetics. She woke up before any ambulances or firefighters arrived. She ran and stole clothes from a local store. When a random man pushed her into an alley and tried to take advantage of her, in her fear she burned him until he was a dead corpse.

Over the past five years, she trained with her newfound abilities, testing them as best she could. She continued to steal but only three months ago did she dawn the identity of Torch, after stealing materials from Timothy Smith's laboratory at the Astaria Research Facility in order to create her fireproof costume and high tech mask. She's since made quite the name for herself as a thief in Astaria, never once apprehended by the police.

AGE: 20 years
CATEGORY: Powered
TEAM: Unaffiliated vigilante
ALIGNMENT: Neutral good

Personal

SEXUALITY: Queer
GENDER: Genderqueer
PRONOUNS: He/him
ETHNICITY: Biracial - Jewish/Japanese

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Blood Manipulation: Shane is able to bend blood both outside and inside the body to his will. He's able to harden it and make it solid - similar to turning water into ice - as well as manipulate it in it's liquid form. It's easier for him to manipulate blood when it's outside of the body. Manipulating blood inside the body is much harder, takes far more concentration, and would take a greater toll on himself. He's also currently unaware that he can manipulate blood inside someone's body as he's never tried to do that before.

SKILLS:

• Multilingual Language: He's fluent in English and both American and British sign language and will often still sign when talking out loud.

WEAKNESSES: 

• Only Human: His power grants him no protection from weaponry or diseases. He's as vulnerable as the average non-powered human.
• Deaf: He requires hearing aides in order to hear as clearly and loudly as able-bodied people. He doesn't consider being deaf to be a weakness and isn't ashamed of it.
• PTSD: He has trauma from his parents' experimentations, occasionally being kept up by nightmares from it.
• Lip Reading: Lip reading is a lot harder than most people think - thus he cannot accurately understand every word someone says by reading their lips.
• Self Esteem: He struggles with low self-esteem because of the lack of attention from his parents, feeling as if he wasn't good enough for them to care about him.
• Self-Harm: It is possible for him to become desperate enough for blood to manipulate in order to protect himself or someone he cares about that he would harm himself to get it.
• Physical Toll: Depending on the strength he uses his power at and how much he pushes his limit, his blood manipulation often takes a toll on his body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
• Anxiety: He can get overwhelmed easily in busy or loud environments.
• Trust Issues: He was betrayed by his parents and thus is slow to trust others but it can greatly help when someone he already trusts vouches for them.

Appearance

GENERAL: Shane stands at five feet and seven inches tall. He has a hazel skin tone and short, black hair. The irises of his eyes are golden-brown. He has some scars littering his arms that he prefers to keep covered. He doesn't have a distinct style of clothing, though he does often prefer clothes he can hide himself in, so-to-speak, and prefers to not stick out.

COSTUME: Shane's costume is all black with gold accents. He wears pants, ankle high boots, a long sleeve shirt with an aviator jacket on top, gloves on his hands, a domino mask covering his eyes, and a bandanna around his neck.

Personality

Shane is a pretty introverted person, mostly shy around people he doesn't know but occasionally shy around those he does. He's a quiet person and prefers quieter scenarios. He can easily get anxiety when feeling overwhelmed from things such as a lot happening in his life or even just being caught up in a crowd. He's more of the type to listen and wait to speak, if he speaks at all.

He's protective by nature, though more on the cautious than reckless side. He's slow to trust after being betrayed by his own parents but he tries not to let that stop him from meeting new people. He's doubtful of his ability as a hero, not sure if he's actually doing any good, but continues doing it because Julian believes in him and he doesn't want to let him down.

History

Shane was born the only son of Damian and Rebecca Keller, scientists working for the Astaria Institute for Health and Technology. Growing up, he thought he had a normal life - normal, loving parents. He didn't know that his whole life his parents were experimenting on him. They would take him to their work and see his reactions to certain chemical compounds they created. He never knew they were the cause of all those days he spent sick. He never figured it out until it was too late.

When he was sixteen, he was injected with an unknown chemical that fused with his blood. This time he was sick for months and was held at the Institute, watched over by his parents. That was when his ability manifested. That was when he started putting two and two together and realized his parents were the cause of his suffering. He'd overheard them discussing about an experiment when they'd thought his hearing aides weren't in. He panicked, ripped his IV out, and his ability manifested.

Naturally he bled when he ripped the IV out - an action he doesn't recommend - and seeing that scared him even more. In his panic, he manipulated his own blood to keep it in his body and even managed to cause the wound to scab over. He ran away from the Institute and his parents, refusing to go home.

He lived on the streets, often hanging out near the local high school where he met and fell for Julian Stane. He ended up living with the Stane siblings until he was eighteen and got into a local program meant to help homeless youth get into the local university. He moved into the dorms with his boyfriend and started school as a marine biology major. About roughly a year ago, he dawned the identity of Ichor to fight crime alongside Julian, occasionally teaming up with the other Stane siblings.

ARIEL AMADOR

FULL NAME: Ariel Diego Amador
CODENAME: Reader
FACE CLAIM: Tyler Posey
AGE: 26 years
CATEGORY: Powered
TEAM: The Cabal
ALIGNMENT: Neutral good

Personal

SEXUALITY: Queer (monogamous)
GENDER: Pangender
PRONOUNS: He/they
ETHNICITY: Biracial - white/Hispanic

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Body Reading & Prediction: Ariel is able to read a person's body language and make accurate, estimated guesses about them, their thoughts, and even facts about their life. He is also able to accurately predict what someone is about to do, after watching and studying them. This allows him to predict and block attacks during a fight. This also makes it immensely hard to lie to him.

SKILLS:

• Combat: He's been trained in advanced combat by mentors hired by Perses.
• Weaponry: He's skilled in the weaponry that he wields when in his costume.
• Multilingual: He's fluent in various languages including English, Spanish, and both American and British Sign Language.
  
• Stealth: He's been trained to be able to keep to the shadows and remain unseen during missions when needed.
  

WEAKNESSES: 

• Only Human: His power doesn't protect him from any weaponry or diseases. He's as vulnerable as the average non-powered human.
  
• Physical Toll: Depending on the strength he uses his power at and how much he pushes his limit, his ability often takes a toll on his body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
• Pushing Limits: He's been known to push his limits too far, too fast in order to feel useful.
• Unprepared: Because it is almost impossible to lie to him, he's never prepared for the small possibility that someone has, indeed, successfully lied to him.
• Socially Awkward: Socializing is very hard for him so he tends to keep to himself and doesn't really have any connections with people outside of his family.
  
• Always On: He doesn't know how to, figuratively speaking, turn off his ability. This means he's always watching someone's body language, always reading them, always looking for a lie. He doesn't know how to not use his ability.
  
• Lack of Expression: He often forgets to express himself and thus it's hard for other people to know how he's feeling, making it harder for him to form connections with other people.
  
• Loyalty: His loyalty to Perses seems to blind him to any warning signs about the man, naively believing he's one of the good guys.

Appearance

GENERAL: Ariel stands at five feet and ten inches tall. His skin is a beige tone. His hair is a dark brown, close to black, and short with a slight curl or wave to it when left unstyled. The irises of his eyes are a dusty brown shade. His sense of style is diverse, preferring to wear whatever he feels comfortable in rather than limiting himself to one specific style or design.

COSTUME: Ariel dresses in all black from head to toe. He wears a mask that covers his whole face with white fabric where his eyes are. The mask's material is breathable, allowing him to breath while wearing it. He wears two items that appear, at first glance, like watches around each wrist. Each one is linked to the communicator he has in his ear and has a tracking function for the Cabal to know his whereabouts while on missions. They can also each summon a light blue energy shield to block attacks. They're also hooked into the Cabal's computer network and set to monitor his health, warning him when he starts to push himself too hard. He also has a dagger and bo staff hooked to his belt at his right hip and a tranquilizer gun holstered at his left hip.

Personality

Ariel is socially awkward with most, if not every, person he interacts with, including those he's close to. His ability has affected the way he socializes greatly due to the fact that he doesn't know how to not use his ability when in the presence of other people. He often comes off as distant, quiet, or deadpan around other people, especially when using his ability. Because he's always looking to get a reading and prediction on other people, he'll often forget to express or act on his own feelings. Due to that, many people who interact with him would describe him as unfeeling or cold.

Those that know him, however, know he's very kind and cares a lot about his family and anyone he grows close enough to call a friend. He enjoys being in the presence of other people, even if he just quietly reads a book while sitting next to someone he knows. On the battlefield, though, he becomes very lethal and is focused only on the objective at hand. He's quick to go on the offensive and gain the upper-hand in a battle but is also quite skilled when it comes to defense due to his ability. He hates leaving things unfinished or in progress which is why he becomes so focused during missions.

Personal

SEXUALITY: Lesbian (polyamorous)
GENDER: Gender neutral/androgyne
PRONOUNS: She/her
ETHNICITY: Biracial - white/Hispanic

Double Life

ABILITIES: 

• Weather Manipulation: Sara has the ability to manipulate and bend the weather to her will. The strength of the weather and how powerful she can make it varies depending on her concentration and focus. She's able to create small, isolated weather events that can fill a room with ease. Anything large enough to cover a whole city would take more concentration and require her to push the limits of this ability.

SKILLS:

• Combat: She's been trained in advanced combat by mentors hired by Perses.
• Weaponry: She's skilled in the weaponry that she wields when in her costume.
• Multilingual: She's fluent in various languages including English, Spanish, and both American and British Sign Language.
  
• Stealth: He's been trained to be able to keep to the shadows and remain unseen during missions when needed.
  

WEAKNESSES: 

• Only Human: Her power doesn't protect her from any weaponry or diseases. She's as vulnerable as the average non-powered human.
  
• Physical Toll: Depending on the strength she uses her power at and how much she pushes her limit, her weather manipulation often takes a toll on her body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
• Loyalty: Her loyalty to Perses seems to blind her to any warning signs about the man, naively believing he's one of the good guys.
• Control: If she creates too large of a weather event, such as a hurricane, and loses control of it, it becomes incredibly hard for her to regain control.

Appearance

GENERAL: Sara stands at five feet and six inches tall. Her skin is a beige shade. Her hair is a medium brown shade and long with a slight wave, though she often straightens it. The irises of her eyes are a dusty brown shade. Her sense of style is diverse, preferring to wear whatever she feels comfortable and confident in rather than restricting herself to a specific style or design.

COSTUME: Sara dresses in all black from head to toe. She wears a mask that covers her whole face with white fabric where her eyes are. The mask's material is breathable, allowing her to breath while wearing it. She wears two items that appear, at first glance, like watches around each wrist. Each one is linked to the communicator she has in her ear and has a tracking function for the Cabal to know her whereabouts while on missions. They can also each summon a light blue energy shield to block attacks. They're also hooked into the Cabal's computer network and set to monitor her health, warning her when she starts to push herself too hard. She also has a dagger and collapsible bo staff hooked to her belt at her right hip and a tranquilizer gun holstered at her left hip.

Personality

Sara is as fierce as the weather she controls. Like her siblings, she's a trained soldier for the Cabal and it shows, especially in combat. She's goal-oriented, focused on getting the mission finished and finishing it successfully. She can get a bit prideful, knowing she's good at her job, but not to the degree of it being a fault. She's protective over her loved ones and there seems to be little she wouldn't do to keep them safe, especially in regards to her youngest brother.

She's an ambivert, occasionally extroverted and occasionally introverted. She doesn't have any friends outside of her brothers at the moment but is also perfectly content counting her brothers among her friends. She likes to do mundane things that don't require her to use her ability, though she has no issue with having the ability that she does. She's kindhearted and soft when she needs to be and can easily switch over to vicious when the situation calls for that. She's confident in herself though she's not immune to occasional insecurities.

ABILITIES: 

• Sound Manipulation: Xander has the ability to manipulate sound waves. He can deafen or increase the volume of any sound so long as he can hear it at it's original volume. He's able to throw out sound waves and solidify them enough that they feel like a punch when they hit a target.

• Hearing: He needs to be able to hear the sounds he's manipulating.

• Loyalty: His loyalty to Perses seems to blind him to any warning signs about the man, naively believing he's one of the good guys.

Appearance

GENERAL: Xander stands at six feet and one inch tall. His skin is a beige shade. His hair is short, curly and a medium brown shade. The irises of his eyes are a dusty brown shade. His sense of style is diverse, preferring to wear whatever he finds comfortable and feels looks good on him rather than limiting himself to a specific style or design.

COSTUME: Xander dresses in all black from head to toe. He wears a mask that covers his whole face with white fabric where his eyes are. The mask's material is breathable, allowing him to breath while wearing it. He wears two items that appear, at first glance, like watches around each wrist. Each one is linked to the communicator he has in his ear and has a tracking function for the Cabal to know his whereabouts while on missions.

He also has a dagger and bo staff hooked to his belt at his right hip and a tranquilizer gun holstered at his left hip.

Personality

Xander is the most outgoing and extroverted out of the Amador siblings. He likes being active - particularly his favorite activity is riding his skateboard or going surfing but he enjoys dabbling in other sports or physical activities. He's energetic and full of life. He's both a morning and night person. He genuinely just wants to have fun and enjoy his life while helping people as much as he can as Frequency.

He also loves his ability and loves having it. He views his ability as a blessing, even if he isn't the most religious person out there. He knows his ability isn't perfect - if he pushes his limits too far and loses control, it's not fun at all and becomes quite painful - but he thinks if it was perfect, it'd be boring. He's still technically careful and definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to missions, but he's more reckless when compared to his siblings. He's capable of following a plan but he prefers to play it by ear instead.
